It's okay. Okay, we're gonna get you out. Everything's gonna be fine. Look at me! Everything's gonna be fine. We're gonna get you outta here. Everything's gonna be fine. Ryan! Pull! It's okay. It's okay. All right. It's okay, it's okay. It's all right. I got it. I got it. Ma'am? Ma'am, can you walk with me? It's cool, it's cool. Here we go. All right, you're doin' great. The D.A. Wanted me to apologize. He really wanted to be here himself. No, he didn't! If he did his own dirty work none of us would have jobs. - Jake Flanagan. I work with Rick. - Graham Waters. - Thanks for coming in. - He just pulled into the garage. Great. Press conference is in ten minutes, so we'll make this short. Internal Affairs says this Conklin has two suspicious shootings on his record. Both black men. Both times he was cleared, but only just. Detective Lewis makes black man number three. You know any reason why we shouldn't hang Conklin for this? Well, it's more complicated than we originally thought. We found $300,000 in the trunk of the car that Detective Lewis was driving. Shit! Ah. Go down to the garage. Tell him to stay in the car until he hears from me. You found the money in the Mercedes. I thought that wasn't his car. The car's registered to a Cindy Bradley. We haven't been able to get in touch with her. Apparently she, uh, left town this morning. So it wasn't Lewis's car. He may not have known the money was in it. You really think you're gonna be able to make that fly? Give us a minute. No problem. Who knows about the money? You gotta be kiddin' me. There are only two people in this room. Myself, my partner, Ferguson and Internal Affairs. - Jim Ferguson? - Yeah. Okay. I guess I don't see a problem. As it wasn't Lewis's car, the money isn't clear evidence of any wrongdoing. And even if it was, we aren't going to prosecute a dead man. Which means the money Internal Affairs is holding can't be considered evidence. You can do this dance if you want to, but I'm willing to bet when the coroner's report comes back tomorrow it's going to say that Detective Lewis was coked out of his head. Fucking black people, huh? What did you just say? I mean, I know all the sociological reasons why per capita eight times more black men are incarcerated than white men. Schools are a disgrace. Lack of opportunity. Bias in the judicial system. All that stuff. All that stuff! But still, it's gotta get to you, on a gut level as a black man, they just can't keep their hands out of the cookie jar. Of course, you and I know that's not the truth. But that's the way it always plays, doesn't it? And assholes like Lewis keep feeding the flames. It's gotta get to you. What did you say you did for the D.A. Again? You coach ball down in Compton. Am I right? Oh, please, don't do that. Don't act like you know something about me, okay? What do you think those kids need... to make them believe, to give them hope? You think they need another drug-dealing cop or do you think they need a fallen black hero? Why don't you cut through the bullshit and just tell me what it is you want. The D.A.'s squad loses its lead investigator next month. Rick is quite adamant that his replacement be a person of color. It's a high-profile position, and he wants to send the right message to the community. And the right message is, "Look at this black boy I just bought?" Well, fuck you very much. But thanks for thinking of me. Actually we were thinking of you. Until we saw that. It's your brother's file. Twenty-something years old and already three felonies. Three strikes law. Kid's going away for life for stealing a car. Christ, that's a shitty law. There's a warrant in there. But still, hey, he had every opportunity you had. Fucking black people, huh? So all, uh... all I need to do to make this disappear is to frame a potentially innocent man? What are you?
