Weaponized Page #2

the world today?

Ton many goddamn agencies.

None of which work together.

Don't break my balls.

Let's just wrap

it, Phil, please?

Come on.

All right.

You okay, Jack?

I'm guilty, I did it.

You got me, you caught me.

I'd like to see

my lawyer, please.

Can I get that in writing?

Sure.

Now we know you're guilty.

Why d'you do it?

I got a simple answer

for you, Detective.

John Kennedy once said, The

cost of freedom is always high

"but Americans have

always paid it."

"And the path that

we'd never take"

is to choose the path of

surrender or submission.

Now sometimes innocent

people must die

in order for us to

follow that path.

Murder is never acceptable.

Now I want you to look at me.

There's no such thing as

murder in war, soldier.

Jesus Christ!

Get in here!

I gotta tell you how many

hours I've been on the phone

getting my ass chewed

off because of this.

Captain, you were there.

Obviously, the guy was suffering

from some severe form of PTSD.

There was nothing

that we could do.

It's all a matter

of perspective.

You two were in

the room with him.

Internal Affairs is already

asking too many questions.

So you both anchor to your desks

until this investigation

is finished.

That's ridiculous, man.

That's all.

Get out.

Phil, give me a minute.

How's our boy doing?

Fine. Why?

I know he's been cleared for

duty but keep an eye on him.

Two eyes.

Oh God, I've seen

that look before.

Jack Simon.

You ever seen someone

change like that?

You mean, change a story?

Yeah.

Mitch, you don't have to

think that hard about it.

Obviously, the guy had

some serious issues.

Maybe.

I gotta go-

- You do remember what

behind the desk means, right?

I did not kill those people.

No such thing as

murder, soldier.

That was something you did.

You did this.

And sometimes innocent

people must die.

Have you meta

stranger today, right?

Mitch?

Detective Walker.

Listen.

If you want the

truth, Detective,

tomorrow you run

through the park

and I'll he by

the fountain at 7.

And don't be late.

Work?

No.

Wrong number.

Hey, babe?

I wanted to remind you,

I have post-ups all week

and a double bypass

this afternoon.

You'll get Katie from school?

Yeah, I can do that.

Don't be late.

Sorry about the late night call.

I'm not much of a sleeper.

Haw can I help you, pal?

Professor Peterson, Clarence.

Jack Simon didn't

kill those people.

Okay, thanks.

Good talk.

Listen, I'm sorry, Detective.

Loan'! Tell you more.

I'm putting my life at risk

just even speaking to you.

A risk from who?

Just, listen.

They wanted the senator dead.

All the rest of 'em there was

just f***ing collateral damage

to sell the story that

it was a random shooting

and not an assassination.

All the others that got

shot that was bullshit.

Okay, who wanted him dead?

Why?

Complicated.

The shooting was both a

demonstration and a warning.

What's this?

That's all the proof you need.

Proof?

This is not proof.

How were you involved?

Listen, time's up.

You just lack into

it, Detective.

And I promise, all your

questions will be answered.

Detective, don't

come looking for me

or you're gonna be

risking both of our lives.

You just have to trust me.

Just trust me and you'll

uncover the truth.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, sir.

Is this absolutely necessary?

Too precise.

So you saw Jack Simon

almost every morning

for about six months?

Yeah.

He seems like a nice guy.

So on the morning

of the incident,

was he acting any different?

Other than blowing up the place?

That's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

Let me rephrase.

Tell me what happened.

He was going about his

normal daily routine.

He didn't say anything unusual.

And all of a sudden it's

like he switched off,

like nothing going

on behind the eyes,

like a different

person, you know?

Today is May 2nd, 2017.

And it's our first successful

recording of hybrid dream.

Vic!

Victor!

Hey!

Victor!

Come here.

What are you doing?

Get down.

I'm just...

I'm not here to arrest you, son.

Okay-

- Come on.

What are you doing?

Just going for a jog.

Oh, yeah?

I felt tired.

Hmm.

I needed to jog.

Get the blood circulating.

All right, nutbag.

I need your help.

Come on.

Jesus Christ, you got

me all sweaty, Vin.

I don't need to hear

about your personal issues.

If you ever make me

run like that again

I'm gonna shoot you

in the knee cap.

I need to find out

what's on that.

I looked at it but all

the files are encrypted.

Where did you get it?

What the f*** is this?

Nu idea.

This maybe.

Oh, come on.

You're still playing

poker online'?

YUP-

- You never win.

Still winnin'.

Never winning.

Yup, indeed lam.

And I'm doing very well,

thank you very much.

Yeah, f***ing degenerate.

Let me know what you find out.

It's not a degenerate sport.

It's actually very smart.

F***er.

It's

another beautiful morning

here on the south land, but

keep those umbrellas close

because we've got a low

pressure system headin' our way

that brings with I!

A 70% chance of rain.

Stay tuned for weather

updates on the hour,

but right now it's time

to get back to the oldies

on 97.3 KBSG.

Senator Jones was shot

three times center mass.

It's precise shooting, Phil.

FBI closed that case.

So even if there is

something bigger goin' on

it's not our case anymore.

Now let's get back to

some real police work,

cases that are still open.

I don't know, man.

I mean the victim

just seemed so random.

The senator was the target.

Come on.

It's just no! Adding up.

Look, the shooting, the lack

of motive, the polygraph.

Feel like taking a ride?

Yeah.

I got that address.

Mr. Peterson?

Professor.

My name is Detective Ross

and you've met my partner.

I'm sorry, but you

don't look familiar.

May we come in?

We need to ask you

a few questions.

So what is this about?

The shooting downtown.

We spoke about it at the park.

I haven't been to

the park in weeks.

I'm good with faces.

I'd certainly

remember if we've met.

When you spoke with my

partner you said you believe

the man who was

responsible was innocent.

I assure both of you

gentlemen I have no idea

what you're talking about.

And if you don't mind I'm

late for an appointment.

It's okay.

We'll see ourselves out.

Real quick.

Do you mind if I

use your bathroom?

Last roam on the right.

Thank you.

Yeah, sorry about all of this.

We gotta be thorough

when we investigate

something like this.

It's a real tragedy what

happened to those people.

You know, I've been

studying your research.

What a powerful stuff.

A little above my pay grade but

you wouldn't happen to

know where I could find.

Dr. Chris Downey, would you?

Sure.

Mission Cemetery.

Chris died eight months ago.

Well, if you change your mind.

Like I said, Detective,

we never met before today.

Gut it.

Satisfied?

This ain't right.

That guy was not in the wheelchair

two days ago, all right?

He was walking around

like you and me.
