I publish coupons for merchants who

don't kidnap competition,

bomb busses

or immolate themselves.

- Am I wrong about the story?

- What do I know?

- Help me get It right.

- do the work.

I was in court, I took notes

and tried to talk to FRAT.

Talk to the defendant, huh?

He's in Longworth.

Afraid to visit prison?

How am I talk to somebody who

knows the defendant well.

How about visiting the scene of

the crime, make an assessment.

Okay.

- You're right.

- As if I need your affirmation.

I'm not telling you to do this.

I'm telling you not to.

Could be dangerous.

Will you help me or not?

Why the sudden urge

to get this right?

My girlfriend read it.

Agreed with you.

Right.

You're doin' this for p*ssy.

- Well I wouldn't put it that way.

- For P*ssy.

What happened to you?

Don't talk to the system.

What the hell does that mean?

Make up somethin' .

The call was for a D and D,

domestic disturbance.

We knocked.

Couldn't be heard over the shouting.

Well the time, 5:52 a.m.

There's no 5:
52.

No report that date and address.

Filed by a Sergeant Francis Lazerov,

or an Officer Raphael Deed.

- FRAT files aren't public record.

- Why?

- We can't speak for FRAT.

- Who can?

FRAT.

Even if you were with a real paper

I wouldn't talk to you. That's Policy.

It's public record, Captain Tilman.

It's trial and conviction.

Not us, alright?

Here we go.

If you're gonna turn every beef

between two losers into headlines

that's gonna seriously compromise

our ability to social deviancy.

You know, we might as well

pack it up and close shop.

Screw John Q. Citizen.

Is that what you want?

I don't think so.

Have a good one.

- Bern !

- Sir.

It's Capt. Tilman, head of First

Response Assault & Tactical Unit.

Thanks a large part

to this gentleman

we're looking at an 82% reduction in homicides,69 in felonies,

With those number we can have

early intervention program.

In fact I see a day when

we won't need courts at all.

- Hi.

- No, You Stay away.

No. I'm just looking for

somebody. Ms. Melba Charles?

She lives here, right?

She's over there.

Oh, Jesus.

Isiaha Charles?

I'm Josh Pollack, I'm a writer.

- I was at your trial.

- Oh, Yeah.

Here.

Listen.

After Officer Deed testified,

you said thank you.

Why?

I can't talk about the trial.

Can we talk about you?

Who you were before this?

By the way, I'm very sorry

about your mother.

What about my mother?

Her stroke.

Stroke?

- You don't know.

- Whoa, when?

- a few days ago, I guess.

- How bad of a stroke?

Is my mother a vegetable?

I'm sorry.

Oh, Mama.

Motherfuckers!

A'ight, look.

You gotta get me outta here.

You gotta get me to my mother.
