The Closer (2005–2012): Season 6, Episode 7 - Jump the Gun - full transcript

[SIRENS WAILING]

MAN [OVER RADIO]:
Copy, 211 in progress, shots fired.

Jefferson American Bank,
21701 Armstrong. Air 14 through, out.

Security guard possibly down outside.

MAN 1:
Go, go!

MAN 2: Where the hell is it?
MAN 1: I don't know. I don't know.

[SIRENS WAILING]

OFFICER:
Get on the ground!

MAN [OVER RADIO]: Two guys running
through the parking lot.

Suspect number one has
brown coveralls. Holding a rifle.

Potentially shot a security guard inside.
Just use caution.



OFFICER 1: Let's go, let's go.
OFFICER 2: Freeze!

Okay, I got officers in foot pursuit.

I got him northbound on Edison,
approaching Douglas.

Shots fired! Shots fired!
Officer needs help!

I'm on Edison, coming up to Douglas!
Officer needs help! Shots fired!

I lost them in the trees. Come around.
Get me around there. Get me around.

Got them again.
Running eastbound on the south side.

White building in front of you.

The brown coveralls with the rifle.
Use caution. He's already fired once.

In the parking lot, in front of you.

Brown coveralls, that's your suspect.

And more shots fired.
Additional shots fired.

Officers need help! Officers need help!
Southeast corner.

Second vehicle in front.
Into the building.



Going into the building,
the southeast corner. Stand by.

Get me around, partner.

All officers, redeploy to Fantasy Kitchens.
Possible hostages. Watch your fire.

[MACHINE BEEPS]

WOMAN [ON RECORDING]: Thank you for
calling Fantasy Kitchens, your first choice...

... for quality materials.
Fantasy kitchen...

Been trying to reach them for hours.
They're screening their calls.

Thank you and have a fantastic day.

This is Steve Hayward
of the L.A.P.D. Again.

Please pick up the phone, guys.

Wanna make sure
everyone gets through this.

WOMAN: Thank you for...
POPE: It's been three hours.

- How long can they hole up in there?
- Could send in a robot with a phone.

- will return your call
as soon as possible.

- Thank you, and have a fantastic day.
POPE: Agent Howard.

HAYWARD: Listen, don't hang up.
Let's talk this thing out.

Apologies, but this is no longer
just a bank robbery.

- They killed a security guard.
- How many suspects in the store?

Two.

- We'd like to speak with them alive.
HAYWARD: I can help you.

- We could arrange that if they'd pick up.
- Guys.

MAN: We're ready to give up.
We're out of ammo...

... so no more shooting.
We're gonna send people out front.

Okay, good.
How many folks you got in there?

- We got three in here.
- That everybody?

What? You're calling me a liar?

No, no. Not at all.

We're seriously letting these people go.
We're gonna send all three of them.

Go on. Get out. Go on!

OFFICER: We got movement.
- Don't shoot.

I count one, two, three hostages.
Thank God.

Okay. Terrific. Thank you, guys.

Just give us a second here
to get these folks situated.

This all will be over real soon.

[GUNFIRE]

OFFICER:
Police! Shots fired!

[GUNFIRE CONTINUES]

Suspects went out the backdoor
firing.

- Both of them down.
- Damn it.

What? I love happy endings.

- We need to see the bodies.
- Why?

Well, this doesn't feel
like a happy ending to me.

Brown coveralls.

What do you know?

I need to see his face.

Let's go.

- You're still missing three suspects.
- How do you know that?

Guy in the brown coveralls
belongs to a group...

...of bank robbers we call
the Dear Jane Gang.

Catchy, but what does it mean?

Dear Jane Gang always pass a note
to a teller that starts with her name.

"Dear Jane," for example, "we're holding
your husband and kids hostage.

Wanna see them again,
empty the cash drawers."

They know the kids' names,
the husband's name...

- So they really do their homework.
FRITZ: Mm-hm.

- There was no note this morning.
- I wanna see the security footage...

...from the bank to be sure of that.

Hey, hey, hey.

Where are you going with this junk?

Belonged to one of our dead
bank robbers.

- Not brown coveralls but the other guy?
- Jason McDonald.

Yeah. This is all the evidence
we collected on the warrant.

The front of the murder room is filled
with witnesses...

...from the bank robbery.

Well, then, where would you like us
to put it, lieutenant?

Well, I haven't heard any complaints
out of the super cubicle for a while.

- We can't just dump...
- You gonna help me or what?

[LAUGHS]

TAO: Okay, according to witnesses,
brown coveralls is saying:

"Everybody, down, everybody, down."

And over here, brown coveralls
tells the security guard...

...to put his weapon on the ground,
which he does.

Then the security guard's gonna make
a move.

BUZZ:
And there's the shooting.

- Ugh!
BUZZ: And here it is again.

TAO: The guard's Andre Hicks,
65-year-old ex-marine...

...there to open the door for people.
- And gave his life for $8 an hour.

Okay, so I see two robbers here,
but you say there are more?

Well,
Dear Jane usually has four inside...

...and a getaway driver outside
for a total of five guys.

Can you shift to the, um,
parking-lot footage?

Sure.

FRITZ: Okay. Well, uh, two run out,
they're looking for their ride.

Now, in their 20 or so jobs...

...they've always used a van
as a getaway. So where is the van?

You seem to know an awful lot
about these Dear Jane people.

- Why haven't we heard of them?
- I've heard of them.

What? The FBI sent out flyers.

We also e-mailed you footage
of the Dear Jane...

...robbing a bank
in Orange County last month.

Buzz, would you look up that e-mail
for me?

- I never saw it.
- You've been very busy.

Now, you might try removing "FBl"
from your junk filter.

Question, how did you recognize the guy
if they always wore masks?

Up until this morning,
they never wore masks.

They usually wear baseball caps.

So this morning,
two suspects, not five...

...wearing masks, not baseball caps...

...bust into a bank
with automatic weapons...

...don't use a note, do kill someone.
Despite those discrepancies...

...you're convinced the guys we
ended up shooting are part of this outfit?

- Found the e-mail, chief.
- Oh.

You wanna play it, Buzz?

Okay. There is brown coveralls.

Now, here are two other guys.

Now, this one, I think,
is the second suspect from this morning.

Then... Can you freeze it?

Punch in. There. Yeah.
That's brown coveralls.

Regardless of what happened
this morning...

...these guys are criminal masterminds.
- Masterminds?

Meet Mr. Brown-Coveralls...

...a.k.a. Dennis Bailey,
and his partner, Jason McDonald.

What kind of masterminds bring their ID
to a bank robbery...

...and then try to escape on foot?

At some point, there was a van.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Oh. Excuse me, chief. We're back.

Finished with the warrant, got stuff.
Afternoon, everybody.

Oh, thank you. Uh, Lieutenant Tao,
please go back through the footage.

See if you find any sign
of a getaway van.

I don't know how to look for people
I can't see.

Chief? Robber one, brown coveralls,
that's Dennis Bailey.

Address on his driver's license is old,
so we have no idea where he lived.

But the guy with him,
Jason McDonald...

- His place was special.
GABRIEL: Yeah.

- His place was filled with these.
- Wait a minute.

Why are you putting all this junk
in my cubicle?

- Nobody comes back here.
- What was he doing with these safes?

Started out boosting safes.
Restaurants, bars.

Their move up to banks
was only in the last two years.

If you've been working on this case
for that long, why haven't we heard...?

Wait. Is this even your case?

Uh...

Well, not exactly.

- Well, then, why are you here?
FRITZ: Um...

I just found out my new assignment
this morning.

And, uh, well, there is supposed to be...

...an official announcement
made tomorrow, but, uh, this bank job...

Well, anyway, um...

I've been appointed
the new FBI liaison to the L.A.P.D.

POPE:
Well...

...congratulations.

[POPE CLEARS THROAT]

I guess you'll be working closely
with whoever is the next chief of police.

I don't understand. L...

You never said anything
about being up for...

I didn't know, myself. I walked
into work today, and now here I am.

- Thank you for the warm welcome.
- Oh, of course.

We're all looking forward
to working with you.

Oh. I mean, congratulations, honey.
I'm...

I'm so happy for you.

And I think we should all start
working together right now. Um...

These safes, for instance.
We'll run all the serial numbers...

...against whatever data
the FBI has on the prior burglaries. Um...

So... If you agree, uh, Chief Pope?

- Love it.
- All right, then.

Uh, please join me back
in the electronics room.

- Certainly.
BRENDA: Thank you. Oh, and, gentlemen...

...if we are dealing with a mastermind,
I doubt...

...it's the guy who has safes
in his house. So let's keep looking...

...for the address on Dennis Bailey,
our Mr. Brown-Coveralls.

Thank you all so much.

So the day before...

...they're supposed to announce
the short list...

...for candidates for chief of police...

...the FBI sends over her husband
as the new liaison officer.

Are you gonna give him
his own office?

[POPE SIGHS]

BUZZ: So we lined up the security codes
of the robbery footage...

...with parking-lot cameras.

TAO: So you can see
the shooting starts here.

And seconds later...

...a sedan whips out of the parking lot.
- But there's no clear view of the driver.

BUZZ:
Something we may have missed.

As the Ford's backing out...

...the reflection of the bumper. There.

- The license plate. Lieutenant Tao.
TAO: Mm.

- Good catch, Buzz.
- Thanks.

Oh.

- What, "oh"?
- Comes up "Confidential, L.A.P.D."

The registered owner of this vehicle...

...is a cop.

- A cop?
- That guy was with us this morning.

Hostage negotiator.
He's in the murder room...

...interviewing witnesses
with Provenza right now.

BRENDA:
"Detective Steve Hayward."

Who better to set a fire
than a fireman?

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

Now do you believe
there's a mastermind?

So you know something I don't?

About?

Maybe the FBI gets a heads-up
who's on the short list for chief.

They decide the husband
of a high-ranking officer...

...would make a good liaison.

If you're saying I'm here
because I'm close to Brenda...

...you could also say I'm close to you.

Really?

Where did I go to college?

- Back east.
- Stanford.

- What did I get my masters in?
- Um...

Mm-hm. Never mind.
How old are my kids?

They chose you
because you and I are so tight.

Let me ask you,
does Brenda even wanna be chief?

Because I've worked my entire life
for this job.

I wish you good luck.

Steve, could you join us
in the conference room?

Chief Johnson wants to do
a quick debriefing.

Excuse me one sec.

Right this way.

You guys unhappy about something?

Detective, you've had so much success
handling hostage situations...

...talking people out of doing
terrible things. I was curious...

...what went wrong today?

Well, nothing went wrong, per se.
The suspects were unpredictable...

...based on the AR-15 and AK
they were swinging around.

Pretty nasty weapons to bring
to a bank robbery.

Almost like they wanted us
to shoot them. Suicide by cop.

Looking at the transcripts,
you never once asked the suspects...

...to drop their weapons.

I was focused
on the release of the hostages...

...who were, despite my apparent lack
of success, set free.

FRITZ:
A vehicle registered in your name...

...was seen leaving the bank
this morning during the robbery.

PROVENZA:
Ahem. Steve, uh...

...that's your car.

I came to work this morning
in my Crown Vic. This...

I bought this car a couple months ago
for my wife.

- Where's your wife?
- What does she have to do with this?

- Isn't it obvious?
- Not to me, it isn't.

Look, let's just get back
to where your wife might be.

- Something about a meeting at a church.
- Then why was your car at the bank?

This morning?
How do you explain that?

- I can't.
- Okay, detective, this is what we need.

Confirm exactly
where you were during the robbery...

...and your wife's cell phone number.

Just do that for us, Steve...

...and we can straighten
this whole mess out.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Oh. Please get the detective's
statement right away.

Sorry, chief. I still don't know
where brown coveralls...

I mean, Dennis Bailey lived,
but I found his brother, Jed Bailey...

...and he's here in L.A.

BRENDA:
Mr. Bailey.

Uh, are you Jed Bailey?

I sure am. How can I help you?

I'm Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson
of the L.A.P.D.

Special Agent Fritz Howard
of the FBI.

- May we have a moment of your time?
- What is it?

When was the last time you saw
or spoke to your brother Dennis?

L... Is he okay?

- My gosh, what's happened to Dennis?
- Jed?

I'm fine, honey. Um, take the kids inside.

I'll be in in a minute.

Was your brother alone
the last time you saw him?

JED:
Uh, yes, he was.

He was almost always by himself.

Oh, my gosh.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Mr. Bailey.

Your brother Dennis robbed a bank
this morning...

...and was killed in a police standoff.

That can't be Dennis. There's no way.

I'm sorry, but we have him on film...

...and he had I.D. On him
when he was killed.

Jed, everything okay?

Uh, doing great. Thanks, Gene.

My brother's not a violent person.
He's never owned a gun.

Well, uh...

...he had one today.

And he used it to kill a security guard.

No. Oh, no, no, no.

He must have been mixed up
with somebody.

Well, he was, sir. Um...

This man was with him at the bank.
Does he look at all familiar to you?

No. I don't know. It...
Is he the guy with the guns?

They both had guns, sir.

Sir, can you tell us
where your brother lived?

Oh, my gosh.

What is it, Mr. Bailey?

Those beers.
He promised me he was gonna quit.

I drove him to a couple
of A.A. Meetings.

It's a difficult thing to stop drinking.

Could you tell me
where those A.A. Meetings were?

Chief, it looks like the one
from the Orange County job.

- Guess he had a thing for these.
- What?

They're comfortable
and they don't show dirt.

- Forty grand in the medicine cabinet.
- Okay.

He hides his money at home, holds on
to his precious brown coveralls.

Not a mastermind.

So far, the only person we've met
capable of planning something like this...

...is Detective Hayward.

Hey, chief.

That getaway car we thought belonged
to Hayward?

Here's a rental receipt for one like it.

Good afternoon. My name is Boyd.
Bet you're looking for a minivan.

Actually,
we are trying to locate this car.

Your vehicle been in an accident,
lost or stolen?

We didn't rent the car. We just need
to know if it's been returned.

Oh, uh, okay. Let me just see here.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Lieutenant Tao.

Okay, here it is.
Uh, it was picked up this morning...

...at the driver's request.
- Who picked it up?

Tim. He's out back.
I'll call him for you?

No, no. Don't call him. I'll go get him.

Uh, chief, Sanchez says he has
Hayward's wife in the murder room.

Uh-huh.

Says she was at choir practice
during the robbery.

And she has the car,
but it's missing the front plate.

- Missing the plate?
- Stole the cop's license plate...

...put it on their rental,
they wouldn't get pulled over.

Yeah, but how did they know
Mrs. Hayward's husband is a cop?

I told you. They were smart.

Hey, there's no Tim working here.

- Boyd returned the car.
- Boyd? Who's Boyd?

The guy helping us.

Oh, you mean Boyd?
Where'd that little jerk go?

[ENGINE STARTS]

I think that's him.

There goes another one
of your bank robbers...

...driving off in his little clown car.

Well, he has the getaway part down.

Oh, thank God. Food.

I'm starving.

Hey, I got great news.

FBI caught the Dear Jane getaway driver,
Boyd Martin.

You say that like it's bad.

- You stole my suspect.
- Ugh.

Working together doesn't mean
we find him then you swoop in.

We didn't swoop.

We tracked his financial transactions
and then deduced.

Oh, for Pete's sake, don't gussy it up.

Boyd Martin paid for an airline ticket
using his credit card.

A dumb orangutan
could have tracked him down.

- Well, then, why didn't you?
- We did.

Don't pretend you don't know this.
L.A.P.D. Was there.

Undercovers watched Boyd
go into that airport parking garage...

...and never come out.

Doesn't take a mastermind
to figure out the feds grabbed him.

We like our suspects alive.

Well, what if Boyd was meeting
his conspirators...

...inside the terminal? Hmm?

Then we could've caught
the Dear Jane Gang, together.

- Anybody at the FBI ever think of that?
- Will you relax?

Ahem. Besides admitting
he's the getaway driver...

...Boyd is not talking to the FBI.

Well, he should be not talking to me.

This is exactly the same thing
you always accuse me of.

You hate it when I take help from you
then arrest the person we're looking for.

At least I don't lie to you.

I have never lied to you.

Oh! Biggest lie of all.
I don't take it personally.

- Maybe omitted...
- lf you wanna lie to get Boyd...

...transferred into L.A.P.D., go ahead.
- I will do whatever...

...to get that kid, because he is guilty
of a triple homicide.

Triple?
Including Bailey and McDonald?

- They're bank robbers.
- You don't decide who my victims are.

Three people were killed
in that bank robbery.

California law, they don't care if Boyd
drove the car or pulled the trigger.

Boyd is not the mastermind.

Once and for all,
we are not looking for a bank robber.

We are looking for a murderer.

If FBI thinks they're gonna
make a deal with Boyd...

...on a bunch of no-account robberies,
they are jumping the gun.

I am arresting that kid even if
I have to get a court order to do it.

- Now who's not working together?
- They jumped the gun on that too.

Appointing you liaison...

...before the short list for chief
even comes out.

I mean, what if I'm not on it?

So the only reason the FBI promoted me
is you?

Well, that's not the only reason.

Of course, you're qualified.

You know, this should have been
a really big day for me.

Oh, honey, I'm proud of you. I am.

Whenever you don't get what you want,
you go for the jugular, every time.

What is that?

Sorry. I'm mostly doing so much better
with these things, aren't I?

FRITZ:
I'm not a criminal!

[BRENDA SIGHS]

I completely apologize!

You did steal my suspect.

TAO: We're checking out
all the Haywards' friends.

They're both on a bowling team.

No link to the robbers there.

Wife's in the church choir.

- They ask to go home?
- No. Kept them comfortable overnight.

They're watching TV now.

Hey, chief,
I'm, uh, looking at Hayward's finances.

No boats, second homes,
Vegas blowouts, anything like that.

Meanwhile, everyone else
from Dear Jane had big money problems.

Dennis Bailey, a.k.a. Brown coveralls,
was drowning in credit-card debt.

And, uh, his partner from yesterday,
Jason McDonald...

...he literally put the dead
in deadbeat dad.

And our rental-car specialist,
Boyd Martin...

...has 80 grand in college loans.

I found something on the safes.
The serial numbers...

...tracked to burglaries in Oregon,
where Jason McDonald went to college.

- Was Bailey a student there?
- Dennis Bailey never went to college.

Big surprise.

- What about the Haywards?
- Born and raised here. Met at UCLA.

FLYNN:
And Steve's...

Um, Hayward's alibi during the robbery
checks out.

So why are you still holding him?

Detective Hayward's union rep was here
for half an hour...

...complaining
about how he's being treated.

The detective is making overtime
helping us solve the case.

By watching cable
in your conference room with Provenza?

Until I figure out how his plate
wound up on the car...

...I certainly...
- Maybe Detective Hayward...

...is the mastermind,
gave the plates to his partners.

Nobody pulls over a cop's car.

And if they did, he could just say,
"Someone stole my plates."

- It's incredible.
- Thank you.

Incredible. Incredible, not credible,
as in wrong, as in it's wrong...

...to trash Hayward, piss off the union
so you look tough for the mayor.

I'm tired of being treated this way.

You are exhausting everyone
who works here!

I can't wait for this chief thing
to be over!

Says the person whose husband
was appointed FBI liaison to the L.A.P.D.

You think I had something
to do with that?

Well, you couldn't be more wrong.
Again!

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Come in!

Excuse me, chief...

Uh, chiefs. We found a link between the
Dear Jane Gang and Detective Hayward.

Ahem. Good thing he's still here, then.

May I?

Yes. Sorry to have kept you.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[SIGHS]

What type of parking lot
could you reliably expect...

...to be unattended?
- I don't know. A theater?

Try the parking lot
at Detective Hayward's church.

- How does that connect to the robbers?
- It doesn't...

...but remember Dennis Bailey's brother?
Turns out Jed and Detective Hayward...

...attend the same church.

Uh, chief, someone tagged a photo
of Jed Bailey on Facebook...

...some kind of college reunion.

Dennis Bailey may not have gone
to school with McDonald...

...but Jed Bailey did.
Part of the same frat.

Oh, that Jed Bailey
is such a good little liar.

And stealing a cop's license plate
from church?

Finally. Signs of intelligent life
from inside the Dear Jane Gang.

So Jason and Dennis connect to Jed.
What about Boyd?

Think the FBI is gonna let us
talk to him?

No.

They'll help us if I tell them
we're gonna search Boyd's house.

Wait. We need the FBI's cooperation
for that.

Well, I'm about to get it.

Pardon me.

[PHONE RINGS]

Special Agent Howard.

Oh, hello, Fritz. I am officially requesting
that the FBI liaison officer...

... provide L.A.P.D.
With information you have...

...on one Boyd Martin.

You know I can't do that.

Then we'll have to go search
his house.

We have all the evidence.

You have no standing
to search his house.

- Actually, I do. I have a witness.
- Who?

- You.
- Me?

Did you or did you not tell me...

...Boyd admitted
to being the getaway driver?

I did, but that was during
a personal conversation with my wife.

Uh-huh. You wanna be listed on my warrant
as a witness or an informant?

Brenda, we are getting our own warrant
for Boyd's house.

[GRUNTS]

Either I put your name on that warrant
or you tell me what I wanna know.

You know, I really think...

...you are beginning to lose
your perspective.

My perspective?

The FBI is fiddling around
with a bunch of bank robberies...

... while I've got a homicide to solve.

What about that poor security guard, huh?

Are you telling me
no one is going to jail for his murder?

You are my husband!

You're supposed to be helping!
That's the beginning of my perspective.

- Want more? I can give it to you.
- Hold on for one second.

[SIGHS]

Oh! Ah.

Chief, Flynn says that...

Well, maybe now is not a good time.

I'm on hold
with our new FBI liaison officer.

- And someone took my last chocolate bar.
- Oh.

[SIGHS]

Well...

...you know what they say.

It's, uh...

[SPITS]

...never easy working with family.

Anyway, Flynn says
the license plate was stolen.

So can we let the Haywards go home?
Please?

[CLEARS THROAT]

FRITZ:
I will answer your questions...

...if you promise
not to serve this search warrant.

Is Boyd Martin related to Dennis Bailey,
Mr. Brown-Coveralls?

Yeah. They were second cousins.

- Any other questions?
- No.

Uh...

Well, yes.

- You know who the mastermind is yet?
- No.

Good, because I do.

[LINE BEEPING]

If Boyd Martin
is Dennis Bailey's second cousin...

...he's also Jed Bailey's second cousin.
They're all connected.

Does that mean we can say goodbye
to Ozzie and Harriet?

I cannot sit through one more episode
of House Hunters International.

No. We're still missing
the fifth Dear Jane Gang member.

But, here. Give them some candy.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Whenever people run away from us
like that...

...least we could do is chase after them.
- I agree.

[SIGHS]

Oh.

Good afternoon...

I forgot your name.

- Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson.
- Gosh, I'm sorry...

...but I'm running late for a meeting
about my brother's memorial service.

Something I can help you with quick?

If you could turn around,
put your hands behind your back...

...so I can arrest you for the murders
of Andre Hicks, Jason McDonald...

...and Dennis Bailey.
- What? Murders?

Jed Bailey,
you have the right to remain silent.

If you give up that right,
anything you say can...

...and will be used against you.

Bad dog! No ball. Go home.

Go home, Ralphie! Go home!

[BOTH GRUNT]

You have been so patient.
Sorry to have bothered you with this.

Hey, sometimes crummy things
turn out okay...

...but that's what overtime is for.

Uh, speaking of which, would you, uh,
sign that timesheet for me?

Oh, of course. My pleasure.

We're putting this extra cash
toward that condo we saw in Panama...

...and you are gonna come to visit.

Can't wait for you to get there.

There you go. Thank you so much.

So where are we with Jed Bailey?

Well, his income tax return
said he made about $38,000 last year.

His new SUV is worth
maybe twice that.

He's got his kids in a private school...

...and a golf club membership
in the five figures.

Someone from the Dear Jane Gang
is making money robbing banks.

Chief, we got the statement
from Gene-Gene, the jogging machine.

- The guy wouldn't shut up.
- Yeah, Gene is $350,000 upside down...

...on his mortgage.

Oh. This statement is full of good stuff.

Gene said he wasn't at the robbery
yesterday...

...and neither was Jed.
- Uh-huh. So?

Can't make Jed Bailey for the murders
at the bank if he wasn't there.

Oh, he was there, lieutenant.
I promise you.

Jed Bailey was at that bank.

If there's anything I could do
to help...

... of course, I wanna do it.

Like I said, I had no idea
who Dennis was running around with.

I don't know what I can tell you.

Not even about your neighbor Gene?

Is he mixed up in all this?

Well, Gene says,
in the last four years...

...he's participated
in over 30 burglaries...

...and 10 bank robberies planned by you,
sir.

- Wait! What?
GABRIEL: We found the safes you stole.

From your fraternity brother's house.

Not to mention all the video footage
we have of you in a baseball cap...

...handing notes to tellers.

But I don't care about all that.
I care about the murders.

Murders? Now, hang on.

Three people were killed
at that bank yesterday...

...including a veteran. You were there.

I'm sorry,
but you people have it all wrong.

You can ask my wife
where I was yesterday.

GABRIEL: Wait. Wasn't it your wife's job
to babysit while you were out robbing?

Gene says she did that a lot,
which makes her as guilty as you.

Now, hold on. My wife...

Gene.

And you believed him?

Just saying whatever?
Lying about my kids even?

Let's talk about your kids for a minute,
Mr. Bailey.

I don't mean the private schools,
the fancy away camps...

...and the beautiful house.

All the luxuries you've managed
to give them on a $38,000 income.

But how will they survive
without their dad and their mom?

You claim you weren't
at that bank yesterday, Mr. Bailey.

Make me believe you.

My wife had nothing
to do with any of this.

I'm listening.

And I never killed anybody, ever.

What I was doing, I was doing
to help my friends and my family.

- You mean Dennis, Jason, Boyd...
- And Gene.

I cannot believe Gene
turning on me like this.

People, man. Heh.

They see a chance to jump ahead,
they grab it.

I'm just... I'm so disappointed
in the world right now.

Mm.

How is it, Mr. Bailey...

...that after all the robberies you did,
rescuing your friends and family...

...they still have
their same old money problems?

JED:
Uh, heh, I can only do so much.

Gene, I gave him extra 10 percent on
the last job so he could keep his house.

He says you only did that because
you didn't want a foreclosure next door.

That's a lie, and he knows it. The other
guys were upset when I helped him.

Isn't that because you took Gene's
extra money from their cut...

...not from your 60 percent cut?

I had the most to lose!

A wife, kids.

Everything we work
our whole lives for!

I did all the planning.

I researched
bank employee schedules...

...floor plans. Made sure
there were no schools nearby.

No potential harm to kids.

I made it safe for people.

Really? Tell me how sending your friend
and your brother into that bank...

...with guns made things safer.

I didn't send anybody into that bank!

- You were busy.
- No!

- Sent a friend, your brother...
JED: I didn't do that.

- They could take the risk. Put them...
- Never.

- I swear.
- I have proof you deliberately...

...put your brother into...
JED: Listen.

I passed on that bank!

I passed on it!
I said, "Do not rob that bank!"

You passed on that bank?

Yes!
That is what I'm trying to tell you!

Why?

Because when I inspected it,
I found too many entrances and exits.

It was going on
the "maybe later" pile.

She's right. He was there.

GABRIEL: Did you steal a policeman's plate...
- That's a confession.

... from his wife's car at church?

For another job.

Next week.

Which I'm sure is canceled.

You scouted that bank.

And you rejected it.

Yes. Yes.

That is exactly
what I'm trying to tell you.

And even if I had said,
"Let's go ahead"...

...guns would not have been any part
of my plan, for that bank or any bank.

All right, Mr. Bailey. I believe you.

I believe you were not at that bank
during the robbery.

Your gang pulled off a job
without you.

- Exactly.
- But you still have the license plate...

...that was used in the robbery.
Worse, you cased the bank as a target.

That makes you an accessory...

...which means you are as responsible
for the murder of that security guard...

...as your friend and your brother...

...neither of whom would've been there
if it weren't for you. How do I know?

They're not smart enough.

Hold on. Hold on! Wait a minute!

- Yes, Mr. Bailey?
- I'm not the criminal...

...you're making me out to be!
- Oh, I know precisely who you are.

The man that murdered his brother.

[DOOR CLOSES]

That was fast.

- Must be anxious to close your robberies.
- Just like you are to finish your murder.

Boyd thinks he's here to talk
about the getaway car.

You gave Gene a deal
on all state charges?

Wasn't at the robbery yesterday,
didn't plan it, he's all yours.

You mention the federal government
have their own charges?

- Oh. May have slipped my mind.
- Ah.

Hello, Boyd.

You drove off so quickly yesterday,
I didn't introduce myself.

Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson.

- How do you do?
- Just fine and dandy...

...but you're under arrest.

I can't be under arrest.
I made a deal with the FBI.

- Tell her about the deal.
- Your deal is for bank robbery.

You're not going to jail for that.
You're going to jail for murder.

- He said...
- This isn't an argument. This is an arrest.

What's happening?

Toodles.

Anything you wanna say?

If I hadn't shown up at the crime scene,
you never would've known...

...there were more suspects.
- I'm happy.

I'm happy that you were there
to help me with my investigation.

- And?
- And thank you.

[FRITZ SIGHS THEN CHUCKLES]

- But...
- Ah!

You were doing so well.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Come in.

Here's the apology to Detective
Hayward's union rep you asked for.

I noted your objection to holding him
at the beginning and the end.

Ahem. Good. Glad that's over.

Wait. Wait, wait.

I just...

I wish I could handle
this whole selection process...

...some other way.

You know.

Some...

...better way.

It's okay, Will. It's fine.

My hope is that, uh...

...you know,
when this whole thing is over, we can...

...somehow, you know, find some way
to keep our relationship.

We will. We...

We will.

[PHONE RINGING]

Wait, wait.

Chief Pope.

Uh-huh.

Good. Finally.

And? Ahem.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. Him I expected.

Who else?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Okay. Thanks.

I appreciate it.

Yeah. Bye.

Will?

Well, the short list is out.

And you're on it.

And I'm not.

You're kidding.

Oh, Will. I'm so sorry.

You'll be getting a call any minute now,
and, uh, there are reporters downstairs...

- I don't even want the job to begin with.
- Well...

- I'm never gonna get appointed.
- No.

- I should just drop out.
- Please get out!

Please.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

[POPE SIGHS]

[RINGING CONTINUES]

Take that outside...

...and go.

Please.

[RINGING CONTINUES]

[RINGING CONTINUES]
