that can back up your story,

We need to get them

into protective custody.

Look, we've got a car

standing by.

Alright? We're not gonna

bring you in here.

We're gonna take you to the feds...

The F.B.I., Michael.

They're gonna take you

into protective custody.

No one's gonna get near you.

You're gonna be safe.

I need to know...

who else do we need

to protect?

No. I'm the only one left.

(Radio static)

Suspect in custody.

(Siren wailing)

- Michael!

- Drop the gun!

- Michael, don't! Michael, no!

- Get down!

- Drop the f***in' gun!

- No, wait a minute!

- Wait a minute! Wait wait!

- (All shouting)

[Man]:

suspect down.

(Door opens)

What you got?

We've got five dead bodies

in the last 24 hours.

This could be the worst case

of retaliation violence

This city's ever seen.

- Has that gotten out?

- Not yet.

But we've only got a few hours

till the press gets wind of it.

All right.

So what are you thinking,

counsel?

There's no way to justify

their actions in the field tonight.

Someone has to take

the fall for this.

Is that the official position

of the district attorney?

Just to be clear,

Nothing leaves this room until

it's been blessed by our office.

What's your take

on Shepherd?

He's been on the job for 30 hours

straight with no sleep.

He'll be easy to break.

Okay, detective.

Are you ready to begin?

- You know the drill, detective.

- (Hits button)

Tell us what happened

out there tonight.

What difference does it make?

Hmm?

The difference between losing

your badge and going to prison

- For criminal misconduct.

- No matter what I say,

You're gonna spin it exactly

the way that you want,

Exactly the way it's been done

here 100 times before.

What was that?

I know what you do

with the facts

When they don't match the story

you want to tell, right?

You change them

or you ignore them.

Keep it up, detective.

You're just hanging yourself.

Am i?

Tell us what you know.

During the course of

the initial investigation...

into the shooting deaths

of officer Chris Jacobs,

we interviewed his partner,

detective Evans.

He gave us the name of

a paid criminal informant...

who eventually led us

to the suspect.

You placed an A.P.B.

At approximately 2200 hours.

Yes, sir, when some of

our patrol officers...

reporting spotting the suspect

and engaged in pursuit.

They were able to box him in

at front street.

Based on preliminary reports submitted

by patrol officers Lerner and Cominsky,

they were attacked

by an assailant.

Did you witness this,

detective?

A firefight did ensue.

The criminal informant was shot

and killed in the crossfire.

Detective Shepherd and

i then pursued the suspect
