"polish all these ribs

off in a half a second."

What's up guys, what're

you eatin' there?

Hot cheetos.

Where's the soda?

You don't need it, not

with those hot cheetos?

All right.

- All right man.

- All right, be good.

For awhile we were deployed

down here for quite a bit.

Then they moved us to 77th.

So usually we bounce between

southeast area and 77th.

Every once in awhile

they'll send us

to the harbor or southwest.

Shooting

just occurred Broadway

and 112th Street, Broadway

and 112th Street,

3525...

Let's go to that.

Hey Mo, you

want her gone, is it okay?

By the time we as homicide

detectives are called out

to a homicide scene,

we're already chasing.

We're at least an hour

to two hours behind

whoever perpetrated this crime.

The horrific part I

think comes and goes.

As a homicide detective, that's

not what I'm focusing on.

I'm not focusing on how

bloody or how horrible

this person was murdered.

It's who murdered this person.

Who did it, and when and

what information do I have.

I wanna start that chase now.

The horrific part or the

emotional part has more

I think to do with

connections with people.

Usually it's somebody

in that victim's family,

or who's close to the victim,

where there's some, there's

that empathy connection

that's made between a

detective and the case.

And that empathy connection,

as I would describe it,

is what drives that

detective to try to solve it.

Do we solve 'em all, no.

But that's what pushes

us, and our goal is to

solve them all so we can

give some kind of answers

to that family of what

occurred to their loved one.

The family members of

our victim, rightfully so

are staying at their relatives,

so that way they

could feel safe.

The one particular person

who may be able to convince

the witnesses and other

people to come forward,

not that they weren't

telling us the truth,

but if they were holding

back certain information

because of, they were fearful

over retaliation.

I can provide the

protection, the safety,

all right, I could

provide the closure.

Myra and I could

provide all that stuff.

Yeah.

But I can't and Myra can't,

we cannot help your family

unless you guys are

willing to help yourself.

I agree, and that's what

I've been tryin' to

implement in their mom,

she said she'll

talk to you guys,

it's just, I just wanna...

Wait, once this case breaks

open, we have to protect you.

Yeah, I agree.

Right now, we can't do much

because there's really no,

imminent, they call

it imminent threat.

In other words, he doesn't

know that we're talking,

they're not gonna know

that we're talking

until we start solving the case.
