Officer Down Page #3

I'm done for the day, Walker.

I'm asking you.

You look like a piece of sh*t.

Full the strings

and watch 'em dance.

Try again.

(MUFFLED MUSIC PLAYING)

(CELL PHONE BUZZING)

Yeah?

Where are you?

I'm working, okay?

You're lying to me.

I told you I'm in the middle

of a f***ing investigation.

I keep telling myself

that you're going to finally

realize what you're

doing to yourself...

- What do you think I'm doing?

- ...to us,

and you're going

to care enough to stop,

but you want to know what?

You're never going

to care enough.

What are you saying?

Your daughter is growing up

without a f***ing father!

F***!

OLEG:

Hey, buddy.

Hey, Oleg.

- I was looking for you.

- Yeah? What's up?

Let's go for a ride.

You going to tell me

where we're going, Oleg?

OLEG:

Full over right here.

- Here?

- Here.

It's between you and me.

Okay.

coming on the Long Island Ferry.

I'm going to give you one key.

It's going to keep you happy

for a very long time, eh?

(TRAIN HORN BLOWS)

I'm listening.

We are waiting

for two black guys.

I was told they're going

to be driving a red Mustang.

Red Mustang, eh?

We're going to be out here?

Why?

Everyone's so exposed

out here like this.

- I don't see a boat at all.

- Well, what can I do?

So you going to steal my deal,

and you thought

you gonna f***ing

tell her what to do?

I know what Katya tell you.

I know you want to rob my deal.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(TRAIN WHEELS CLATTERING)

OLEG:
We are waiting

for two black guys.

I was told they're going to be

driving a red Mustang.

I don't do business

like this, man.

You paid us

for one f***ing thing,

and one thing

in particular, man.

I'm serious. What you got us

out here doing, man?

I don't know what's going on.

You ain't here.

Got my man here sitting on this

in the f***ing trunk.

Come on, man. Tell us something

right now, man.

I ain't playing no f***ing games

out here and sh*t right now.

We in a place where I don't

f***ing know what's going on.

This dude playing games

right now.

Look, you paid us

to bring it up, and that's all.

I ain't trying to sit

on this sh*t all night, man.

Look, man,

that ain't going to work.

I ain't feeling this

right now, man, huh?

- Hey, man, what did he say?

- This motherf***er

talking about he don't know

where the other dude at.

Well, he going to meet us

over at Artisan Park

in, like, 15 minutes.

See? This the sh*t

I'm talking about, man.

- Yo, man. Man, let's go.

- Better be there.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

- Hey, why not?

- Come on, Lanie.

Mom, please?

Enough with this party.

- Have you seen this?

- Huh?

It's the third quarter her grades

have dropped in a row.

But, Mom, it has

nothing to do with it.

Can you just

talk to him, please?

Talk to me about what?

So what are we talking about?

Jenny's having a slumber party,

but it's coed,

- so it's never going to happen.

- Coed?

- So let me guess. Mark's going?

- Dad!

To tell you the truth, these

grades are garbage. No party.

You guys were never kids.

It's so annoying.

- Need to do better in school, honey.

- Whatever!

- Maybe we should get her a tutor.

- Yeah, that's a good idea.

Can you help me out with that?

'Cause I...

(CELL PHONE BUZZES)

Yeah.

Hold on one sec.

I got to take this, babe.

Then I got to change.

Yeah, go.

(CAMERA SNAPPING)

(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)

(DISPATCH CHATTER)

What we looking at, Brogan?

Darwinism.

Urban survival of the fittest.

How did it go down?

Drive-by.

As luck would have it,

we caught the shooter.

Any witnesses?

Ah, their friend got grazed.

He claims he didn't see

who fired the shots.

Now let me ask him

a few questions.

Excuse me. Thanks, guys.

I'll talk to him.

Man, what the f***

is your problem?

You don't remember me, do you?

Why would I?

Let me refresh your memory.

You remember this? Huh?

(POLICE SIREN BLARES)

Sh*t!

Sh*t! What the f***, man?

Sh*t's in the frame.

Just be cool, man.

Be cool?

Man, what the f***?

Can't be f***ing serious.

You boys in a hurry?

I'm sorry about that, Officer.

I just got the car.

I ain't used to the power.

You wouldn't happen

to have any drugs or alcohol

- in here now, would you?

- No, sir, Officer.

No?

You ain't lying to me now,

are you?

- Aw, come on, man.

- No, sir.

Well, you don't mind

if I take a look then, do you?

Step out of the vehicle. Thanks.

We just want

to go home, Officer.

Yeah, I know. I said

step out of the vehicle.

Hey, I said step out

of the vehicle now. Get out.

Hey, what are you doing?

(GROANS)

- Yo, man, what the f***?

Why you shoot him for?

I'm going to handle this sh*t.

You ain't have to

f***ing shoot him!

- Get the f*** in the car, man.

(GUNSHOTS)

Look, I don't know nothing

about that, man.

- Yeah?

- Hey, sh*t, man.

Come on. F***ing...

- Shut up and come here.

- God damn.

It's just you and me

talking right now, okay?

But I can change in a heartbeat,

so it's up to you.

(SCOFFS) Yeah.

I remember seeing you on TV,

everybody all

weepy-eyed and sh*t,

like you some kind

of f***ing hero.

I know the truth, motherf***er.

Just some junkie

looking to shake us down.

(SCOFFS)

I thought long and hard

about what I'd do to you

if I ever saw you again.

At first,

I wanted to put a bullet

right through

your f***ing skull.

After a while, I realized...

I realized you saved

my life that night,

so I want to repay the favor.

Give me your wallet.

Give you my wallet?

Give it to me.

Ellis Dracut. All right.

Here's how

it's going to go down.

We caught the guy

that shot your friends.

Tomorrow his lawyer's going

to get an anonymous phone call

- saying that you're willing to testify.

- That's bullshit.

It's not going to happen,

'cause you're

not going to be here.

Take this. Take it.

I want you buy a ticket,

train ticket.

You go to any city

where you don't know anybody.

Go someplace where you

can start a new life.

Do anything but

what you're doing here now.

CALLAHAN:
You believe

in redemption, Father?

Well, this path would never

have chosen me if I didn't.

So you think everyone

can be saved?

Well...

I would rather hear your thoughts

on the subject.

You know the worst thing

about homicide?

We always get there

after the fact.

You have no idea

how that eats at you.

I'm tracking a suspect.

Seems as though he's already ruined

one young girl's life and her family.

I can see the way

he was looking at 'em.

I knew exactly

what he was thinking.

This time, I'm not

going to be too late.

I'll pray for you, David.

(TELEPHONE RINGS)

Forensics.

It's Cal.

Got a minute

to do a search for me?

Depends what you're looking for.

Serial predator,

white male, mid to late 30s.

Sexual assaults.

Younger girls.

See if we've got any cases reported

over the past six months.

That's all I've got to go on?

- Drawings.

- Come again?

He's doing drawings of them.

That's how he's getting them

to drop their guard,

by sketching the victims' faces.
