Who's there?

What the f***?!

Hey yo, Jamal! Come on, man!

Hey yo, sh*t! Come on, Jamal!

Jamal, come on, man!

Stay with me, bro'!

Come on, man!

Jamal, come on, man!

Come on!

F***!

Come on, wake up, man!

Yo, Jamal! Come on, please!

Please! Sh*t!

F***!

Yo, get a f***in' ambulance, man!

Why you just standing there?

Do something!

Please...

So you called the ambulance?

Danny, got something for me?

This is all l've got.

lt's good, see?

It wasn't so hard.

Next time l ask you for something,

you f***in' give it to me...

lt's over here, sir.

ls that the f***in' brother?

Two vics in each case.

Wesley Smith, Jamal Osman,

both tortured half to death.

Wes hangs himself.

Jamal dies later.

Then Wes's girl

and Jamal's twin brother.

Both of them electrocuted

and the twin brother tagged

with more of this gang sh*t.

Both Wes and Jamal

had a burned index finger.

What if they were forced?

What if they were tortured

till they had to flick the switch,

and the switch burned them.

Some kind of punishment.

lt's working itself up into

a nice little f***ing gang war.

God damned scum!

- This is algebra!

Look, an equals sign.

'W Delta Z equals"...

Well, thank you very much,

Professor Westcott!

Now, maybe you could tell me

what it f***in' means.

lt means it's not the gangs!

Unless they're attending

f***in' night school!

What?

Great, thank you!

Hey, Eddie!

The animal tranq

is marketed as Austixamine.

And only one place buys it

in the whole state.

l got the address.

Dr. Gelb?

Dr. Gelb?

The animals are licensed.

All the certificates are up to date.

This lab is the only place

within a hundred miles

to keep stocks of Austixamine.

Could you tell us

what you use it for?

lt's all legal,

just the way you guys like it.

Listen, if you want me to take you in

for being an a**hole,

well, l got a license to do that.

What animals would you use it on?

l used to keep a couple of crocs.

that's all.

Are you aware of any Austixamine going

missing in the last three months?

No.

Who else has access

to your stocks of tranquilizer?

Nobody.

Any lab assistants?

Money's tight.

What kind of science do you do?

Ethology. Animal behavior.

l'm gonna need this opened, please.

Yeah, sure.

Here you go.

This is quite a collection

of drugs you got here.

l'm gonna need to see your records.

What do you do exactly?

Graft elephant ears on a monkey?

My work concerns

how species respond to predators,

how they warn each other,

if they warn each other.

How far they go to protect each other,

if they protect each other.

Like, you throw a croc into a cage of

monkeys and see how they deal with it?

Not always with a real crocodile.
