Caught in the Crossfire Page #3

---

Into the warehouse area.

We cornered him.

We attempted to talk him

into surrendering

Even after he had

fired upon us.

At which time uniformed officers

fired upon the suspect,

Fatally injuring him only

after all attempts

To disarm him

had been exhausted.

What are we missing,

detective?

Sir?

We wish it was

that simple.

It wasn't that clean,

was it, detective?

You either play ball or I'm taking

you down myself. You understand me?

You want to put me

on the stand? Go ahead.

'Cause i'll

tell 'em everything.

But you don't want that,

do you?

Right?

You can't control it.

It's not the image that the department

wants to present to the public.

You're burnt out, Shepherd.

We can all see that.

Is that why you did

what you did?

I have no idea what

you're talking about.

You have no idea what

we're talking about?

Well, we've got a sworn statement

from your partner here...

and it says different.

There's no way.

Go ahead, read it.

His debrief ended hours ago.

Why do you think that is?

Let me help you out,

detective.

Why don't you start

by telling us...

how detective Evans wound up

with two bullet holes in his head...

one self-inflicted

and one not?

You were the first guy

at the scene.

Sir, I can only comment...

that during the course

of our investigation,

we encountered what could only

be described as a theory...

Of potential conspiracy

involving individuals...

from within our own department.

No way. This is a setup

and you know it.

You're out of line.

Every one of those men is

dead tonight because of us.

And for what?

The reason we're here

is to find the truth.

- The truth, captain?

- Yeah.

Those suspects had a target

painted on their back...

from every officer

in the field.

We caused this!

We caused this.

Detective, sit down.

We caused this.

Detective.

This is our fault.

Lieutenant [Michaels]:

start from the beginning.

Don't leave out

a single detail.

This is your only shot.

Your partner's going down.

There's nothing we can do

to stop that now.

Are you?

You don't have to join him.

There's only one way

out that door.

It's time to come clean.

My partner

detective Shepherd and i

Received the first call

at 1800 hours.

There'd been

an apparent shooting

Down at the 6th street park...

That's deep within gangland.

Whose gangland?

The vice lords.

They run all the streets

in between 16th and fairfax.

Nobody goes in

and nobody comes out...

without being affiliated

with that crew.

Preliminary reports indicated

that it was indeed...

a gangland homicide.

The wealthy street boys...

they'd been seen in the area

and there'd been a series of shootings...

in the past couple
