Homicide: Life on the Street (1993–1999): Season 4, Episode 18 - Scene of the Crime - full transcript

Medic 19 pronounced
Antoine Giles at 21:48 hours.

Mr Giles was launched
from the ninth floor or higher.

- Dead on impact.
- Time of call,

Er...

Brodie, keep your head up.

Downtown suits! Come across
the boulevard when the nigger falls!

This is gettin' really ugly.

Never see no badges
when the drama starts!

- We're not wanted here.
- "We", pale face?

Tactical is on the way.

Damn these towers! There's only
one way to police the terrace - napalm.



That's not funny. Damn!

Brothers and sisters,
hear me please!

Brothers and sisters,
your gracious attention.

Muslims. As if the rabble
wasn't already roused.

There's been a
tragedy here tonight.

A brother who saw personal
gain by selling poison to his people

has reaped from
the seeds he's sown.

While the result was inevitable,

we still grieve as for
any of our brethren.

As for these gentlemen,

they require a respite
to perform their function.

We ask that you depart with
assurances that we will be here

to make sure our brother's
remains will be respected.

You may proceed.



Then out of nowhere
come the Muslims.

They shut it down.

How long the Muslims
been in the terrace, Gee,

City gave them a contract
last year. It's a federal grant.

It's an insult to get outside
groups to police the projects.

They haven't had a
murder there in months.

They're just pushin'
crime a block or two west.

Who's the dead guy,

He's Antoine Giles, the
dealer workin' the 224 building.

See what you can find out.

Mmm. Mmm.

'1425 Bloom,

'I have shots fired
on the eighth floor.

'Shots fired. Boston
Homes. 1425 Bloom.'

Yeah, 124, I got that.

'Where are you, 124,'

McCulloh and
Dolphin. I'm on my way.

- Three more weeks.
- What,

- the Big Man comes back.
- Really,

June 1st, with the Washington
follies far behind him,

and indiscretions forgotten,

Stan Bolander returns to the
department and his old desk,

so you better ask
Gee for a new one.

- You saw Stanley, - No.

- Well, you spoke
to him, - Not exactly.

- How do you know,
- Why wouldn't he,

If he were planning on coming
back, we'd have heard by now.

- He'd had least of told Al.
- He'll be back!

- OK, OK.
- He will.

- All right.
- He'll be back.

OK, OK. I'll look
for a new desk.

- Forgot your flashlights,
- We'll use yours.

- You the first on the scene,
- Stu Gharty. Follow me.

- They call this the maze.
- Oh...

the hallways connect
all three buildings.

It smells terrible down here.

But it's a great place to
hide. Watch the puddle.

- Thank you.
- I found these two quick enough.

Just followed a path of spent
shells down from the eighth floor.

You got your shooter and your
victim, or your victim and your shooter.

It depends on
how you look at it.

On your left, that's Justin
Hermos, 18, gunshot to the chest.

On the right, Cyrus Dunham,
14, gunshot to the head.

One's chasin' the other,
and they run in here.

Both fire, both fall down dead.

How often do you have
a murder that solves itself,

- Never.
- Yeah, Well, now you got two.

There's your weapons, and
there, my guess, is your motive.

I wish every crime
were this easy.

Let's check with the lab. There
might be an outside shooter.

I'm gonna wait for the ME.
Figure he'll need an escort.

- Thanks, Gharty.
- Yeah. Shame, huh,

What a place to die.

Wanna get high,

Antoine lived here, You
know, the spelling is atrocious.

Personally, I blame the schools.

All right, let me handle
this. I speak the lingo.

Miss...

the sister does not
wish to speak to you.

Excuse me. Mrs Giles,
Baltimore Homicide.

I don't know nothin'. I ain't
sayin' nothin'. Get your ass out.

Now, hold on. Let's
back up a minute here.

We came here to find out why
your boy got thrown off the tower.

As I said, the sister does
not wish to speak to the police.

This doesn't really concern you,
OK? So what are you doin' here,

that's my question to you.

The brother is at least
among his own in this matter,

but if he is unwelcome,
you are even more so.

We're tryin' to find out
who murdered your boy.

- If you...
- Get your ass out!

All right, Mrs Giles.

Listen...

you change your mind,
you want to talk, call me.

You really handled that well.

- Hey, did you see
the board, - Uh-huh.

Well, Hermos and Dunham
are already up there in black.

Uh-huh.

We haven't ruled out the
possibility of a third shooter.

Not so. You see, a thoughtful,
generous and considerate someone

got up early this morning,
swung by the morgue,

matched bullets to their respective
weapons, came back to his desk,

sharpened a pencil
and did the paperwork.

- You got the ME report,
- Preliminary report.

Now that someone's fortunate
and appreciative partner

has two more closed cases in her
column, and has only to sign her name.

- I can't sign this.
- Why not,

Where's the victim print-out, the crime
lab analysis, the witness' statements,

- What else did I miss, - We
haven't talked to the relatives.

- Next of kin's been notified.
- We should talk to them.

- They might know something.
- Shlomo and Shlomo shot each other.

- We should just move on.
- After we talk to the families.

Next you'll be grading
my penmanship.

- What did you
find out, - Nothing.

We had Malik or Hakeem
or Abdul staring us down.

- Muslims intimidating
the witnesses, - Oh, yeah.

- We don't know that for sure.
- They're watching everyone we talk to.

Maybe the people like
having the Muslims around.

Maybe they feel safe with them.

Excuse me. Do
you have a problem,

No, we ain't got no problem.

A Muslim tried to pull a blue-eyed,
white devil thing on Mikey.

One cop against the other.

- Didn't work, though.
- Nah. No way.

So you're no closer to findin'
the killer of Antoine Giles,

- No closer.
- Mmm.

- Well, maybe Hamp Mears can help.
- Who,

Hamp Mears, from
the Western Drug Unit.

Oh, he's in the coffee room.

Where you get a name like Hamp,

- Lewis, - Yeah.

- Mike Kellerman.
- How you doin',

What have we got,

I'm doin' a surveillance
when Antoine Giles

comes out of the 224 building
with an angry crew on his ass.

- Which angry
crew, - the Muslims.

- You saw the Muslims chase
Antoine, - they caught him.

They had Antoine up against the
wall. I was thinking, "Who do I root for,"

- What, they kicked his
ass, - they just talked.

The head guy is lecturing.

Then he goes in Antoine's
pocket, comes up with a bundle.

- He took his drugs off of
him, - Yeah, and let Antoine go.

I see the head guy put the bundle
in his own pocket, go up Fayette.

- I follow him.
- You lock him up,

I didn't get a chance.

Before I could, he tosses
the bundle down a sewer hole.

- He threw the
drugs away, - Mmm.

- Can you point this
hero out to me, - Yeah.

So you see the
Muslims chase Antoine,

and the next day Antoine
ends up one with the sidewalk.

That don't mean the
Muslims killed him.

It don't mean they didn't.

The shots woke me out of
bed. I went straight for the phone.

- You called 911, - Don't
know why I bothered.

- And why is that, - I waited
and waited. Nobody came.

What time did you
hear the first shots,

I don't know. It was so loud.

Now, after you hung up, how
long did the shooting go on,

- It seemed like years.
- Well, was it ten minutes, More, 20,

What took the police so long,

that's what we're trying to
find out, but we need your help.

No, ma'am... We
needed your help.

You want to hear about my son,

When Justin was a boy, you
know what he wanted to be,

- What's that, -
A police officer.

He used to watch the TV,
run around with his toy gun.

Then Justin grew up.
Saw his sister get shot.

Saw his home here turned to trash.
Know what he called you cops then,

Cowards.

- Listen to this.
- Snoop Doggy Dogg,

the tape from the
Boston Homes Dispatch.

What am I listening for,

- What time does the
report come in, - 10:32pm.

Right. Gunshots from the eighth floor.
We're notified, and it's five after eleven.

So,

Gharty was at McCulloh and
Dolphin when he gets the call.

It takes him a half an
hour to go two blocks,

Maybe there was a
traffic jam or somethin'.

McCulloh and Dolphin at
10:30pm isn't exactly rush hour.

So he got there earlier
than he admitted,

Well, maybe. Or took
his time getting there.

- Let's go.
- Where,

to see if Gharty can
muster up an explanation.

Yeah, same as
yesterday! Still a bomb, girl!

Elevator's broken.

The residents need the stairs.

- They can wait until...
- Your business here is concluded.

Step to me then, bitch.

Raheem, help these
sisters with their bags.

Discrepancy, huh,

Yeah, between the distance travelled,
and the time it took you to get there.

My partner is very meticulous.

So from your reported location

it should have been five
minutes to the crime scene, max.

She's being precise.

So you wanna explain
the extra half hour,

- I waited for the shootin' to stop.
- You what,

I pulled up to Boston. I heard
gunfire. I waited until it was safe.

Oh, yeah, until two
people were dead.

Look, Gharty, those
two kids, by the way,

chased each other
down eight flights of stairs.

Now, you could have stopped 'em.

Stopped them, It was
just me and my 9mm.

- Might as well waved a white flag.
- He was waitin' for backup.

You were waitin' for backup,

Look, I got work to do.
Are we through here,

- Did you call for
backup, - I'm 54 years old.

Six months away from a cosy
desk job. What are my options,

they shoot me, then
finish each other off.

Or worse, I kill
a kid. What then,

He's black. I'm white. His
mother points her finger.

The whole neighbourhood
is ragin' against me.

My family is dragged through
hell. Why should I take that risk,

Because it's your job.

You don't want to
go in, so get backup.

Now did you or did
you not call for backup,

- Is there a problem
here, Officer, - No.

Meet Detectives Munch
and Russert from Homicide.

- Sir.
- Lieutenant Nat Galvin.

- Hi.
- The Megan Russert.

I guess.

The first female captain
in the Baltimore PD.

Yeah, well, not any more.

Yeah, Barnfather,
right, What a jerk.

To what do we owe this honour,

We're goin' over
details of the shootin'.

All right. So I won't interrupt.

- Say hi to Al Giardello for me.
- I sure will. Bye.

Look, Detectives, Hermos and
Dunham took care of their business.

- I gotta worry about the paperwork.
- You may have more to worry about.

Is she serious,

- Next time, don't come with me.
- I didn't want to go anyway.

You stood there and
contradicted everything I said.

You questioned him
like he was a lowlife.

I was trying to
find out the facts.

Two kids killed each other.
Gharty didn't do anything.

Exactly! Two mothers
are asking, "Why not,"

- Cheap shot. He's a cop.
- I know he's a cop.

I'm gonna see if there's a history
of late response, negligence.

What if it was Kay or Meldrick
or me, You'd turn me in,

Kay Howard would
have called for backup.

The same with Meldrick.
The same with you.

I used to think Stan
was a hard-boiled person.

You make him look
like a cheese omelette.

Why don't you give him a call,

Ask him when he's coming back.

- I will call him.
- Go ahead.

OK.

Again, the machine.

Stanley, this is
Detective John Munch,

your lowly cohort
from the Homicide Unit.

Do you mind,

this is the 26th message I've
left. It's getting embarrassing.

Failure to take police
action, dereliction of duty...

Gharty doesn't think
he's done anything wrong.

Neither does Munch.
Where do I go with this,

Maybe you should
take it to Internal.

Well, I still gotta wait
for the final on the ME,

and then I gotta
pull Gharty's jacket,

and listen to the
dispatch tape again.

You do that computer stuff. I'll
go see what's taking Scheiner.

Hey, thanks!

- Maybe we need to add brothers.
- We need to have a chat.

I'm not in the habit of conversing
with law enforcement officers.

- Hardhead, huh, -
Now, hey, hold on.

We need to exchange information.
The best way is for us to just chill.

- Am I charged with a
crime, - Would you like to be,

Under the laws of this
so-called democracy,

if I'm not charged with a crime,
I'm free to end this conversation.

- Get your hands off me!
- Hey, come on now!

- Lewis, whose side are you
on, - An excellent question.

Stay out of this! This
ain't the way to go.

Don't put your hands on a cop!
You want charges, You got them.

KGA, this is Unit 7410. I need
an ambo at 224 North Carey.

An ambulance for who,

Who do you think you are,

We are still the toughest
gang on the block.

Yeah, well, not
here. Not any more.

You put your hand on a cop,
you're gonna take a charge.

OK, so explain somethin' to me.

How one night can you
chase a dealer out a high-rise,

and the next night that same
dealer is tossed off that high-rise,

- You're makin' yourself a suspect.
- Because he did it.

- Will murder get you rep
enough, - Your lies mean nothing.

The history of the white race is
500 years of deceit and genocide,

and you judge me,

- I wouldn't waste a second...
- Wait a minute.

You're tryin' to silence
our black Messiahs,

but we know we're the
chosen people of Allah.

What we do is what this
government doesn't want done.

Now I ask you, how do
the drugs get to the terrace,

Who is served by us in
prison, so many addicted,

so many dying from
a CIA-sponsored virus,

Save the speech for
someone who cares!

America has no need for the
black man, for the original man!

- It wants niggers!
- This is a load of crap.

- How can you work
with him, - Who, Him,

He hates us. Why do his bidding,

No, he hates you, and most
of the time he does my bidding.

Let's talk about
you for a minute.

Before you became Ishmael
El-Hadj, you was just Levon Epps.

Just another chump-change
knucklehead with a sheet.

You did your six-year
bit up at Hagerstown.

Six years up there with them
redneck guards up in the mountains.

I found my faith in Hagerstown.

I needed a white man's jail cell to
see my heritage as an original man.

I am trying to find the
truth about a murder here!

You're not gonna
help me, are you,

Hermos was a better
shot. Dunham died instantly.

Took the bullet in the cranium
that lodged in the occipital lobe.

Hermos took his bullet
in the pulmonary artery.

- He bled to death, - Uh-huh.

Which takes from
ten to twenty minutes.

Gharty was in no hurry
to make it to the scene.

If he would have gotten there
earlier, Hermos might have survived.

It's possible. What about
those dispatch tapes,

- No record of a backup call.
- Time to include Internal.

He's got such a clean jacket,

including two commendations,
one in 1983, the other one in 1990.

Commendations notwithstanding,
I still think you've got a case.

- I want to warn Gharty first.
- Why,

I don't know. I don't know.

Maybe he'll 'fess up
and save me the trouble.

How many killings were
there in the terrace last year,

too many.

- This year, - One so far.

And here I am in
custody in this room.

This government has its boot
heel at the neck of your people.

Enough with the
boots and the necks.

You're from around the way,
I'm from around the way, right,

I respect what y'all
doin' in the 'jects.

- Special guest at the bar tonight.
- Who might that be,

- Stanley Bolander.
- Oh.

If you harass him enough,
the Big Man caves in.

- The Big Man!
- He seemed pleased to hear from me.

- Anybody seen Kellerman,
- He's in the coffee room.

We're gonna need
extra-light beer tonight.

- You know who's comin'
back, - the Big Man!

Mikey.

Gonna go out and have beers,

What do you mean by that,

I don't know where my
partner is in this case.

- I'm right here.
- And when he took a swing at me,

You want me to say somethin'
to make you feel better,

- I'm trying to him talkin'.
- So it's just business,

this is what we do.

A guy beats his
kids, I tell him I do.

I'm talkin' to a rapist,
I tell him I have nuns.

This guy, he hates whites,
he hates Jews, he hates me.

You have go to admit that these guys
have done right by Highland terrace.

They're thugs!

You got a white
neighbourhood, OK, like Gilford.

It's fine for them to
have their own security,

but God forbid that we
in a black community

should decide to police our own.

It's suddenly
perceived as a threat.

The Muslims come to town,
and crime rate goes down.

The crime rate was low under
Hitler! What are you talking about,

I'm talkin' about you.
I'm talkin' about you.

I don't see you
up in the towers,

or volunteerin' to police
that neighbourhood.

I gotta get back
to my interview.

- Nat Galvin.
- Hey, Al.

- Come to rescue me, I hope.
- Bad day,

Bosses, bodies, bodies, bosses.

I hate to add to your list, but we
have to talk about Boston Homes.

OK.

Why didn't you come to me first,

Under the circumstances, a
trial board hearing is extreme.

It looks bad, but
Gharty's a good cop.

He's a veteran.
He's paid his dues.

Gharty waited 30
minutes. Two kids died.

Drug dealers.
There's a difference.

We took an oath to serve and
protect. That's not a selective term.

I know that. Gharty
knows it, too. Believe me.

A fire-fighter gets an alarm.
He can't just sit on his ass.

He does that, the
building burns, people fry.

- That's not a fair comparison.
- No,

Someone dials 911,
they expect to get help.

If not, a trust is broken.

And Gharty was there.

- And did nothing!
- Come on, Al.

Are you telling me that
you never once hesitated,

Never thought about your wife
and kids, Whether it was worth it,

For a split second maybe,
but not for half an hour!

When it takes that long,
that's the day to retire.

- One more question, Al.
- What,

Now, all this
other stuff aside...

would Russert
have dinner with me,

- Is the Big Man
here yet, - Not yet.

Why is Bolander called
the Big Man, Is he fat,

Granted, Stanley
Bolander is far from svelte.

He has what some might
call a Brobdingnagian build.

It is not mere bulk which has
earned the Big Man his title.

He is a man of magnitude.

Enormously fair, tremendously
honest and a whale of a detective.

So when Stanley comes tonight,
give him our best light beer, OK?

I'll be back with
some hors d'oeuvres.

He really misses the guy.

You think Meldrick will
ever talk that way about me,

Brobdingnagian, you know,

find himself in a bar waxing
poetic about his old partner,

If the future goes as planned,

the only thing he's gonna be
waxing is a bright red Lamborghini.

Waterfront. Hey,
Stan, how's it goin',

What,

Oh, right. Right.
Well, he's rightin' back.

I can just...

Yeah, OK. You, too. OK.

The Big Man's favourite,
chicken fingers. All right!

That was the Big Man on
the phone there, Munch.

- He's runnin' late, - No.

- He's not coming.
- Not coming,

No.

What does that
mean "not coming",

He said he'd try to
make it tomorrow.

Did he ask to speak to me,

Look, just forget about
Stan, Munch. Drink that.

- All that stuff I said
before, - Uh-huh.

I take it back.

Give me another one.

Who put a charge on a Muslim,

- Detective Kellerman and Lewis.
- They're off this case.

What,

Call the State's Attorney.

Get the charges against
the Muslim dropped.

I don't want our
people having contact

with the Highland
terrace security staff.

People are working on a murder
case. Muslims may be involved.

This is not a perfect world.

- It's not, - It's Baltimore.

It's not possible to
be elected to office

without the support
of that black majority.

Politics as usual.

The Mayor's office and Council
members will be all over me.

And what about Antoine Giles,

the case could stay in the red
forever without another word spoken.

The Muslims control their part
of the city in their own fashion.

Until HUD cancels
their contract.

There's growing opposition
to funding the Muslims.

There's a HUD audit of
security contracts under way.

We sit out the battle
and win the war.

- If you insist.
- Thank you.

It's Giardello.

"Efforts to
investigate the slaying

"have been thwarted
by political interference,

"according to one
ranking police commander

"who asked not
to be identified."

Behold, a ranking, albeit
unidentified, police commander,

and a true master of the game.

Lewis, Kellerman, my office.

Uh-oh.

What's this with us
being taken off the case,

Politics. I'm dealing with it.

The Muslims got that drag,

I don't think the
Muslims did it.

I can't see Ishmael
takin' off Antoine Giles.

Why not,

Drugs, violence, the project.
It's all about race to him.

I can't see him
takin' a black life.

The only demons in
his head are white ones.

Well, it's all academic.
We're reassigned.

No, I expect that
to change shortly.

Gee.

Well, yes, sir.
Immediately, sir.

Oh, they're here.

The Disciplinary Hearing
Board is now convened.

- Is Officer Stuart
Gharty present, - I am.

Charges are as follows...

On the evening
of April 10th, 1996,

Officer Stuart Matthew
Gharty demonstrated

an unwillingness or
inability to take police action.

Violation of rule one,
section 19. General order 288.

Officer Gharty was waiting in
the basement when you arrived.

- How did his demeanour strike
you, - Friendly. Professional.

- Talkative. A little nervous, I think.
- And then,

He led us to the victims, gave us
information, and then he left the area.

Garty excused himself. He seemed
eager to leave the crime scene.

Lieutenant, Detectives
Kellerman and Lewis

are reassigned to the Giles' case,
and Mr Al-Hadj has assured me

that in light of this
morning's press,

he and his colleagues
are ready to cooperate.

Very good. May I escort
you to our Homicide office,

- Oh, and Lieutenant.
- Yes,

If I learn the source
of this press leak,

he will be walking foot on
the outskirts of Philadelphia.

That goes without saying.

Justin Hermos was 18 years
old. Cyrus Dunham only 14.

Rundowns on the two victims show
a total of 23 juvenile and adult arrests.

Both were enrolled at
Westside High School

where Dunham
played running back.

Hermos served one year at
Hickey for stabbing a police officer.

Medical intervention might have
stopped Justin's bleeding in time.

The shooters represented a
significant threat to Stuart Gharty's life.

He anticipated that threat.

What do we know,

We've been given a
complete hour-by-hour itinerary

for Ishmael Al-Hadj
and his crew.

They've alibied
themselves nicely.

- You believe them,
- Do I have a choice,

- You didn't enter
the building, - No.

Is it not proper procedure,
in such a situation,

for a solitary officer
to radio for backup,

- It is.
- Can you explain your decision,

I was alone. I believe
to enter Boston Homes

I was placing myself
in physical jeopardy.

Proper procedure
says call for backup,

and yet you opted not to,

I was shook up. I can't
remember whether I called or not.

How many calls came in
on the night of April 10th,

2,089.

This was two nights ago,
Officer. You've already forgotten,

- Like I said, I was confused.
- 2,089 calls,

And what happens, Miss Browder,

if two units call in at the same
time on the same frequency,

One call blocks the other.

I refer the board
to document 1 b.

After the initial phone call,

recordings from April 10th indicate
no communication from Unit 124.

According to the
transcript, Officer Gharty,

you never requested assistance.

Does that help your memory any,

On a busy night like April 10th,

is it possible, if Officer
Gharty did radio for backup,

his request was overridden,

- Yes, it's possible.
- Thank you, Miss Browder.

I have nothing further.

We tried many times to
dissuade Antoine Giles

from selling his narcotics
in Highland terrace.

We did not,
however, take his life.

But you know who did.

You know everything that
happens in those towers.

You know the name of the killer.

We provide security
in Highland terrace

precisely because we
do not deal with the police.

You will cooperate just enough so
you'll get your HUD grant renewed,

but not enough to help
us solve the murder.

Here's the deal.

You are not off the hook
until I get the killer's name.

Until then a reporter
will ask for an update.

I'll say that you're
still suspect.

That ought to make a
HUD auditor think twice.

I will tell you...

and I will tell him.

But not him, an unbeliever.

- Just get the name.
- Mike...

He ain't goin' anywhere.

- Nothing, - Nada.

They gave us the
name, but not the guy.

We better have
another talk with Ishmael.

Detective Russert...

this is my wife, Flora, my
daughter, Ellen, my grandchildren.

This is Andrew and Sarah.

Hello.

Er...

- I should be heading back.
- Of course.

Er... Detective.

Listen, er...

I've been thinking a lot about
those kids and their families.

I don't blame you for
bringing all this about.

I don't blame myself either. I blame
the city, see. I blame the situation,

how people behave,
the way cops are treated.

I didn't call for backup.

I knew that once backup came,

I would have to go in.

The truth is, either
way, I wasn't up to it.

Not with backup. Not by myself.

Not in that neighbourhood.

It's like I told Flora,

maybe with how things
are, it's better I retire.

You should let the Board
decide that, Officer Gharty.

Yeah, you're right.

I'll wait and let
the Board decide.

They know the
situation out there.

They'll... make the call.

- So Gharty got off, - Uh-huh.

Tonight he'll be celebrating
with his wife and family.

Tomorrow he'll be
back on the street.

It's absurd, huh, Infuriating,

Oh, who knows, Kay,

I should be shocked.

I guess I should feel angry,

but, I don't know, I don't.

Maybe Gharty's no
worse than the rest of us.

People can't trust the police
and we can't trust each other.

So who's left to rely on,

- Our contract was not extended.
- I heard.

So today we are leaving the
terrace. It's yours again to police.

Or not.

I'm sorry. Y'all were
doing good work.

You helped to destroy
that. Tarred us with a murder.

You lost the contract
for many reasons.

A piece of the larger plan.

Take a look at these towers.

This is the handiwork of the
world's most affluent country.

This is how they want it to be.

If you had given me the
name, y'all would still be here.

- We'd steer clear of the publicity.
- Have you made an arrest.

He skipped and you know it.

He could be anywhere
from Queens to Kingston,

and you tipped him off, huh,

You made sure we
found an empty apartment.

We identified the brother.

He will not be returning
to Highland terrace.

- Is he alive, - Certainly.

- We believe in redemption.
- You don't want to give him to me,

One black man more or
less in prison will not matter.

Be for real.

You took on a responsibility
to police this community!

The guy threw a man off
this building - a black man!

I was beginning to see
you as only a buckdancer.

A buckdancer,

Might you be interested in
making the Kalimah Shahadah,

- A profession of faith, -
Very good, Brother Lewis.

You should have
given me that, Jake.

Salaam Aleykum, Brother Lewis.

Aleykum Salaam.
