IS THIS GONNA BE YOUR ATTITUDE THE WHO DAY?
'CAUSE IT IS REALLY IRRITATING.
I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU UNTIL I GET MY iPod AND PHONE BACK.
WELL, THAT'S NOT HAPPENING UNTIL YOU APOLOGIZE.
I APOLOGIZED TO UNCLE FRITZ, AND HE ACCEPTED MY APOLOGY.
WELL, YOU DIDN'T APOLOGIZE TO ME YET,
WHICH SHOULDN'T BE THAT HARD TO DO
CONSIDERING I TOLD YOU EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO HEAR.
I'M SORRY, AUNT BRENDA,
FOR DRUGGING YOU WITH THE POT BROWNIES I MADE
AND FOR PUTTING UNCLE FRITZ IN A TERRIBLE POSITION.
I'M NOT FEELING IT.
OH, MY GOD, FORGET IT. I DON'T CARE.
WELL, YOU BETTER CARE,
BECAUSE IF I DON'T START BELIEVING
THAT YOU'VE DEVELOPED A THOUGHT IN YOUR HEAD
FOR ANYONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF,
THEN WHEN GRANDPA COMES TO PICK YOU UP NEXT WEEK --
HEY, WATCH OUT!
OH!
Charlie: WHY ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE RUNNING?
CHARLIE, DON'T OPEN YOUR WINDOW! WHAT'S HAPPENING?
SOMEBODY'S SHOOTING IN THE PARKING LOT!
YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN THE RED ZONE, RIGHT?
THE RED ZONE IS FOR POLICE.
I AM THE RED ZONE. KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN.
STAY IN THE CA-- DOWN!
STAY IN THE CAR.
HELP ME, PLEASE. PLEASE, HELP.
I'M A POLICE OFFICER. WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
UH, JAKE.
OH, GOD. I-I-I THINK -- I THINK I'M SHOT.
I-I'M BLEEDING.
OKAY, JAKE, DON'T MOVE.
I WANT YOU TO TAKE THIS SWEATER
AND PRESS IT AGAINST YOUR BELLY, OKAY?
LIKE THAT. OKAY.
GOOD. DO YOU KNOW WHO SHOT YOU?
UH, NO.
WAS IT A BOY OR A GIRL?
UH, I-I-I-I THINK IT WAS A BOY. OKAY.
[ SIREN CHIRPS, CAR DOOR CLOSES ]
OH, GOD, PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!
NO, I -- PLEASE, PLEASE.
I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE. I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE AMBULANCE KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE, OKAY?
OKAY. OKAY.
OH!
CHARLIE! I TOLD YOU TO WAIT IN THE CAR!
I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING, SO I THOUGHT I'D COME OVER HERE.
I BROUGHT YOU YOUR -- YOUR BAG AND YOUR PHONE.
HEY, SOMEONE -- SOMEBODY NEEDS TO CALL MY MOM.
DON'T WORRY, DON'T WORRY. SOMEONE IS GONNA CALL YOUR MOM.
FREEZE! DON'T YOU WORRY.
DEPUTY CHIEF JOHNSON.
I'VE GOT TWO DOWN -- ONE DEAD AND ONE UNDER THE CAR.
I WANT A FOUR-BLOCK PERIMETER AND FIELD-INTERVIEW CARDS
ON EVERY PERSON THAT YOU STOP. YES, MA'AM.
AND GET THAT AMBULANCE BACK HERE. GOT IT.
LIEUTENANT.
HIS MOTHER'S NAME IS PATRICIA BURRELL.
SHE'S A FLIGHT ATTENDANT FOR ROYAL ASIAN AIRLINES.
THANK YOU. OFFICER, COME WITH ME.
I'M RIDING WITH JAKE.
I WANT YOU TO TAKE THIS YOUNG LADY
AND FOLLOW THE AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL IN MY CAR.
YOU WAIT FOR ME IN THE E.R.,
AND Y DON'T LET HER OUT OF YOUR SIGHT, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
Officer: YES, MA'AM.
OKAY, I'M RIGHT HERE, JAKE.
I'M WITH YOU THE WHOLE WAY.
IS -- IS MY -- IS MY MOM COMING?
YES, SHE IS, JUST AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
S-SORRY ABOUT THE SWEATER.
DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT THAT.
I PROMISE I'LL BE HERE THE MINUTE YOU WAKE UP.
FLYNN.
KEYS. THANK YOU.
IS HE GONNA MAKE IT?
IT'S HARD TO KNOW. SIT THERE AND DON'T MOVE.
LIEUTENANT, DID YOU LOCATE JAKE'S MOTHER?
WELL, WE KNOW THAT SHE'S ON THE WAY TO HANOI.
WE JUST HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO, UH, GET IN TOUCH WITH HER YET.
DID JAKE SAY ANYTHING BEFORE THE DOCTORS TOOK HIM?
NO.
GENTLEMEN, CAN WE...
Woman: DR. BENDER TO THE MENTAL WARD, PLEASE.
DR. BENDER.
DID YOU I.D. THE VICTIM YET?
UH, YES. UH...
HIS NAME IS... TOMAS DeLEON,
UH, AGE 17.
HE DIED WITH A BACKPACK FULL OF POT.
SO HE'S A DRUG DEALER.
LOOKS LIKE IT.
SO THAT MIGHT MAKE THAT BOY IN SURGERY
ONE OF HIS CUSTOMERS.
WERE THEY VICTIMS OF A ROBBERY?
WELL, IF IT WAS, IT DIDN'T GO VERY WELL.
TOMAS HAD A BIG ROLL OF CASH ON HIM, MOSTLY SMALL BILLS.
ANY OTHER WITNESSES?
UM...WELL, YEAH,
A COUPLE OF PEOPLE SAID THEY SAW SOMEONE WITH A GUN.
REALLY
A WOMAN IN A BROWN DRESS WITH BLOND CURLY HAIR.
OH. THAT'S HORRIBLE.
WELL, NOT COMPLETELY.
ONE OF THE WITNESSES DESCRIBED YOU
AS BEING IN YOUR EARLY 30s.
EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN. DID YOU SEE WHERE --
SHE WAS RIGHT HERE.
Charlie: DO YOU HAVE CHANGE FOR A SODA?
I TOLD YOU NOT TO MOVE!
I HAD TO GO TO THE BATHROOM. I DON'T CARE!
AND WHEN I SAY STAY IN THE CAR, I MEAN STAY IN THE CAR.
I COULD HAVE SHOT YOU!
I WAS TRYING TO HELP. I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOUR HELP.
HOW WAS I SUPPOSED -- DON'T YOU INTERRUPT ME!
I HAVE TO GET TO WORK.
SINCE YOU SEEM TO BE
SO INTERESTED IN HOW THIS BOY IS DOING,
YOU CAN STAY HERE WITH HIM WHEN HE GETS OUT OF SURGERY. WHAT?
CALL ME THE SECOND HE WAKES UP. WHY ME?
I'M GIVING YOU THE CHANCE
TO SHOW THAT YOU CAN CARE ABOUT SOMEONE OTHER THAN YOURSELF
FOR A FEW MINUTES, SOMEONE WITH REAL PROBLEMS.
SO SIT HERE AND THINK ABOUT HOW LUCKY YOU ARE
THAT YOU'RE OUT HERE AND NOT IN THERE.
FLYNN.
OUR DEAD BOY IS TOMAS DeLEON.
AND OUR EYEWITNESS, JAKE BURRELL,
IS IN EMERGENCY SURGERY AND MIGHT NOT MAKE IT.
WE NEED TO BE READY TO DO THIS WITHOUT HIM.
WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THAT PARKING LOT?
DRUGS. OBVIOUSLY.
ALL THIS POT WAS FROM OUR VICTIM,
TOMAS DeLEON'S, BACKPACK.
CHIEF, IF THIS IS THE START OF A TURF WAR,
YOU NEED NARCOTICS INVOLVED.
THEY KNOW THE PLAYERS.
YOU'RE RIGHT, COMMANDER.
IF THAT'S WHAT THIS IS, WE NEED TO BE PREPARED.
WAS THE DEAD BOY IN A GANG? NO.
HIS OLDER BROTHER, OSCAR DeLEON, WAS.
SERVED THREE YEARS FOR DISTRIBUTION,
OUT FOR TWO MONTHS.
WELL, MAYBE BIG BROTHER WAS USING LITTLE BROTHER
TO KEEP HIS OWN NOSE CLEAN.
Gabriel: OR TO KEEP IT FROM GETTING BLOWN OFF BY ANOTHER GANG.
HOW MANY SHOTS WERE FIRED?
WE FOUND FIVE 9mm CASINGS
SPACED ABOUT 1 TO 2 FEET APART.
LOOKS LIKE THE KILLER WAS SHOOTING ON THE MOVE.
AND THE CAR OUR WITNESS JAKE WAS HIDING UNDER --
TURNS OUT IT'S REGISTERED TO TOMAS.
WE'RE TOWING IT TO THE PRINT SHED.
OKAY.
LET'S DO THE NOTIFICATION FOR THE DeLEON FAMILY HERE
AND SEE IF WE CAN HAVE HIS BROTHER, OSCAR, PRESENT.
SURE, CHIEF. MAYBE HE CAN TELL US
WHO WOULD WANT HIS LITTLE BROTHER DEAD.
THAT'S NOT TOMAS' BACKPACK. I NEVER SAW IT BEFORE.
YOU SEE IT BEFORE?
NO.
IS THIS YOUR LITTLE BROTHER'S BACKPACK?
OSCAR?
TOMAS IS A GOOD BOY, NEVER ANY TROUBLE.
I SEE.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW YOUR SON?
THIS MORNING, AROUND 9:00.
HE HAD BREAKFAST,
AND HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT BEING LATE FOR HIS JOB.
REALLY? AND WHERE...IS HIS JOB?
IT'S IN A...COFFEE PLACE SOMEWHERE IN HOLLYWOOD.
I'M NOT SURE.
I'M SORRY. YOU ARRESTED THE WRONG BOY.
TELL ME, HOW DOES A BOY
WORKING IN A COFFEE SHOP MAKE $800 IN TIPS BEFORE NOON?
WE -- WE TOLD YOU -- THIS IS NOT, UM --
IT'S NOT HIS BACKPACK.
CAN YOU IDENTIFY HIS CAR?
YES, THAT'S...HIS.
HMM, WELL, WHEN TOMAS BOUGHT HIS NEW CAR LAST MONTH,
SOMEHOW HE PAID FOR IT IN CASH.
NO, HE SAID HE GOT A LOAN.
NO. HE WAS SELLING DRUGS.
AND I WANT TO KNOW WHO HE WAS WORKING FOR.
ANY IDEAS, OSCAR?
I GOT NO IDEAS.
ALL RIGHT, THEN.
MR. AND MRS. DeLEON, OSCAR,
IT IS MY SAD DUTY TO INFORM YOU
HAT YOUR SON, TOMAS, WAS SHOT AND KILLED... NO!
...IN A PARKING LOT BEHIND A SCHOOL WHERE HE WAS SELLING --
YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE WHO WAS DEAD!
YOU GOT HIM KILLED! YOU GOT HIM KILLED! I WASN'T THERE!
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT! WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! EASY! EASY!
EASY! HEY! YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN OUT OF JAIL!
I WISH THEY NEVER LET YOU GO!
HEY. WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?
LET HIM GO...DETECTIVE.
WE HAVE NOTHING TO HOLD HIM ON.
AT THE MOMENT.
I HAD TO LEAVE HER AT THE HOSPITAL.
I THOUGHT WE AGREED CHARLIE NEEDS CONSTANT SUPERVISION.
LOOK, I PROMISED MY WITNESS HE WOULDN'T BE ALONE.
CHARLIE SEEMED TO SHOW SOME INTEREST IN HIM,
SO I THOUGHT, WHY NOT GIVE HER THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF LOOKING IN ON THE BOY?
IT MIGHT HELP HER TO GROW UP A LITTLE.
BUT UNLIKE YOU, BRENDA,
SHE DOESN'T DEAL WITH DEATH ALL THE TIME.
SHE JUST SAW TWO KIDS BLEEDING OUT ON THE PAVEMENT.
DID YOU EVER STOP AND THINK
THAT LEAVING HER IN AN EMERGENCY ROOM BY HERSELF
MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST IDEA IN THE WORLD?
NO, I THOUGHT NOW SHE'D GET TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN A DRUG DEAL GOES WRONG.
SO WHAT? THIS IS YOUR OWN LITTLE SCARED
WHY NOT LOCK HER IN COUNTY FOR THE NIGHT?
I SHOULD HAVE HEARD FROM HER BY NOW.
I'M GONNA CALL HER, TELL HER TO MEET US DOWNSTAIRS.
[ RINGTONE PLAYS LOUD ROCK MUSIC ]
OOH. OH, NO.
YOU LEFT HER AT THE HOSPITAL WITHOUT HER PHONE.
I THOUGHT WE AGREED AFTER SHE APOLOGIZED TO ME,
YOU'D GIVE IT BACK TO HER.
WELL, SHE DIDN'T APOLOGIZE TO ME...
PROPERLY.
I MEAN, SHE STARTED TO, BUT THEN SHE WAS --
I DON'T KNOW -- POUTING.
WELL, HE'S THROUGH SURGERY AND ALREADY OUT OF ANESTHESIA
AND TALKING TO HIS SISTER, SO THAT'S GOOD.
HIS SISTER?
OH, YEAH. SHE'S BEEN GLUED TO HIM.
OH, UM...
OKAY, UH, L-LET ME SEE MY FACE.
OKAY.
OH, GOD, MY HAIR.
DON'T WORRY.
YOU LOOK GREAT.
REALLY?
OKAY, THAT'S ENOUGH FOR NOW.
HE NEEDS TO REST.
UH, BE RIGHT THERE.
I HAVE TO GO.
I HAVE, UM, OTHER... UH...
PATIENTS TO SEE, SO, NICE TO MEET YOU.
YEAH, UH, W
OF COURSE. AS SOON AS I CAN.
I JUST HAVE TO... CHECK THE SCHEDULE.
JAKE.
IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU UP AND, UM...
EXCUSE ME JUST A SECOND, JUST -- JUST ONE MOMENT.
I HAVE TO CHECK THE SCHEDULE?
HE THINKS I'M A YOUTH VOLUNTEER.
AND THE NURSES THINK YOU'RE HIS SISTER?
THEY ONLY ALLOW FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE I.C.U.
THANK GOD I HEARD YOU USE HIS MOM'S NAME.
OBVIOUSLY, JAKE KNOWS I'M NOT HIS SISTER,
SO I TOLD HIM I WAS A YOUTH VOLUNTEER.
IT'S EASIER THAN EXPLAINING YOU'RE MY AUNT.
YOU TWO ARE SO RELATED.
I TOLD YOU TO CALL ME THE SECOND HE WOKE UP.
YOU WOULDN'T GIVE ME BACK MY PHONE.
DID HE SAY ANYTHING
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PARKING LOT?
NO. I WAS TRYING TO MAKE HIM FEEL BETTER.
I'M NOT A NARC.
Fritz: OKAY, I THINK CHARLIE HERE
HAS FULFILLED HER RESPONSIBILITIES PRETTY WELL,
WOULDN'T YOU SAY, HONEY? YES.
I WOULD. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHARLIE.
I PROMISED HIM A PLAYLIST.
If that's designed to get your iPod back, it's not working.
YOU KNOW WHAT -- Fritz: HEY, YOU REALLY WANT TO PUNISH HER?
WHAT DO YOU SAY I TAKE THIS VOLUNTEER DOWN TO THE CAFETERIA?
I UNDERSTAND THE PIZZA'S HORRIBLE.
THANK YOU, UNCLE FRITZ.
Jake: TH-- THERE WAS THIS -- THERE WAS THIS FLASH.
AND HIS HEAD JUST WENT...
I-I HIT -- I HIT THE GROUND.
SO HE WAS SHOT FIRST.
DID YOU SEE THE PERSON SHOOTING?
NO.
HE -- HE WAS BEHIND THE OTHER GUY THAT GOT SHOT.
ALL -- ALL I DID WAS GET UNDER THE CAR.
DID YOU KNOW TOMAS DeLEON, THE GUY WHO WAS KILLED?
OR WHAT HE WAS DOING IN THAT PARKING LOT?
JAKE, WE DIDN'T FIND ANY DRUGS ON YOU,
AND I HAVE NO EVIDENCE THAT YOU WERE BUYING.
THE WAY I SEE IT, YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH TROUBLE.
I'M ONLY INTERESTED IN THE PERSON WHO WAS SHOOTING.
CAN YOU DESCRIBE HIM FOR ME?
I-I-I NEVER -- I NEVER SAW HIS FACE.
THE SHOOTING STARTED, AND I WENT UNDER THE CAR,
AND THEN THE SHOOTING STOPPED.
AND WHEN I LOOKED, I JUST -- I SAW SOMEONE WALKING AWAY.
AND T-THE NEXT PERSON I SAW WAS YOU.
PLEASE DON'T TELL MY MOM WHY I WAS THERE.
HER ONLY WORRY IS THAT YOU GET BETTER, BELIEVE ME.
YOU TALKED TO HER?
YES, I DID.
IS SHE COMING?
SHE IS COMING JUST AS FAST AS THAT PLANE CAN FLY.
I'M SURE SHE TOLD THE CAPTAIN TO STEP ON IT.
YOU'RE GONNA BE OKAY. OKAY?
WE'VE GOT HIM PUMPED FULL OF ANTIBIOTICS AT THE MOMENT.
LARGE INTESTINE WAS PERFORATED,
SO INFECTION IS A BIG CONCERN.
IF HE MAKES IT THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT,
HE'S GOT A CHANCE.
HOW MANY BULLETS DID YOU RECOVER?
NO COMPLETE BULLETS, ONLY FRAGMENTS.
FRAGMENTS?
SHRAPNEL, BASICALLY.
HE HAD MULTIPLE ENTRANCE WOUNDS.
THE BULLETS HIT SOMETHING AND SHATTERED
BEFORE ENTERING HIS BODY.
SURGICALLY SPEAKING, THAT'S A LITTLE MORE CHALLENGING.
RIGHT, RIGHT. YES, I UNDERSTAND. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
UH, LIEUTENANT TAO?
Tao: I THINK WE CAN EXPLAIN THE SHRAPNEL.
THESE CHALK LINES REPRESENT THE PARKING SPACE
WHERE JAKE BURRELL WAS SHOT.
Sanchez: WE WENT BACK AND DID LEAD WIPES
ON SOME CHIPS IN THE PAVEMENT
AND FOUND THREE BULLET IMPACT POINTS.
WELL, THAT'S THREE BULLETS, BUT I REMEMBER FIVE CASINGS.
LET'S DO A COUNT.
LORD.
ALL RIGHT.
UH, UH, THE CORONER FOUND ONE BULLET IN THE DEAD BOY.
JAKE DIVES UNDER THE S.U.V.,
AND THE SHOOTER FIRES BULLETS 2 AND 3...
POW, POW!
...WHICH HIT HERE AND HERE, AND BULLET 4...
POW! ...WHICH HITS HERE, FURTHER UP.
ALL STRIKE THE PAVEMENT, CREATING SHRAPNEL
AS JAKE IS BACKING UP,
STRIKING HIM IN THE ABDOMEN.
TO HERE, WHERE HIS BLOOD POOLS.
AT WHICH POINT,
THE SHOOTER LOWERS HIMSELF FOR A BETTER ANGLE,
AIMING FOR A HEAD SHOT.
HOWEVER, THE BULLET DOES NOT HIT THE PAVEMENT...
DOES NOT STRIKE JAKE.
IT HITS THE GAS TANK.
OH, I SENSE A BIG FINISH COMING UP.
IT LANDS...
IN...A BRICK OF WEED
PACKED INSIDE THIS HALF OF THIS FAKE GAS TANK.
BUT IF THIS WAS ALL ABOUT DRUGS
AND HIS S.U.V. WAS LOADED WITH MARIJUANA,
WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST DRIVE AWAY WITH IT?
RIGHT. AND WHAT DECENT GANGSTER LEAVES $800 BEHIND?
YOU KNOW, YOU COULD HAVE SPARED ME THIS DOG-AND-PONY SHOW
AND JUST TOLD ME OUT FRONT
THAT THE SHOOTER FIRED ONCE AT DeLEON
AND FOUR TIMES AT JAKE BURRELL.
CHIEF.
I WANTED TO GIVE YOU THE FULL PICTURE!
UH, CHIEF, WE -- WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE HOSPITAL.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
WE THINK JAKE WAS THE TARGET ALL ALONG.
BUZZ, DO YOU THINK YOU COULD PLACE A CAMERA AND A MICROPHONE
IN AN I.C.U. ROOM WITHOUT BEING NOTICED?
SURE. I'VE GOT SOME NEW WIRELESS UNITS
THAT ARE PRETTY SMALL,
AND I COULD PROBABLY PUT THEM ON AN I.V. STAND
WITHOUT ANYONE NOTIC-- GREAT.
PACK UP YOUR AWAY KIT, AND BE READY TO GO IN FIVE MINUTES.
THANK YOU.
SERGEANT, I WANT CLEARANCE FROM THE HOSPITAL
TO PUT A VIDEO FEED IN JAKE BURRELL'S ROOM.
I'M GUESSING THEY WON'T LIKE THAT.
TELL THEM WE'RE AFRAID FOR HIS SAFETY IF YOU HAVE TO.
CHIEF, YOU GONNA INTERVIEW THE BOY AGAIN?
I DON'T THINK SO, LIEUTENANT.
YOU SAID YOU PROMISED JAKE SOME MUSIC?
YEAH?
HE'S ALL ALONE.
I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR HIM.
WHAT ABOUT MY PHONE?
HEY, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WAIT.
* AND *
* OH, I'VE GOT ONE MORE SONG *
THAT'S, UH... THAT'S COOL.
REALLY?
WELL, IT'S, UH, KIND OF GIRLY.
YEAH, YOU CAN'T REALLY DANCE TO IT, I GUESS.
HEY, H-HOW LONG CAN YOU STAY TODAY?
AWHILE. WHY?
OH, UM...MY MOM DOESN'T GET IN TILL TOMORROW,
SO I'M A LITTLE ON MY OWN.
I'LL -- I'LL TRY AND STAY, THEN.
THANKS.
OH...MY GOD. MY MOM...
Provenza: I'VE MADE UP MY MIND.
I'M GONNA ASK LAUREN TO MARRY ME.
...THEY GAVE HER THE PHONE IN THE AIRPORT IN HANOI,
AND SHE WAS ALL FREAKING OUT AND STUFF. I'M GOING TO ASK HER.
I THINK SHE MIGHT EVEN BE MAD AT ME.
SHE'LL GET OVER IT WHEN SHE SEES YOU.
YOU'LL BE BETTER TOMORROW.
I HOPE SHE DOESN'T FIND OUT I WAS BUYING POT.
WHAT IS IT WITH PARENTS AND POT?
IT'S LIKE NONE OF THEM EVER TRIED IT.
I DON'T THINK POT'S THAT BIG OF A DEAL.
[ INHALES SHARPLY, GROANS ]
ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH. UM...
IT JUST KIND OF HURTS A LITTLE BIT.
HEY, LOOK, YOU KNOW, IF -- IF YOU HAVE OTHER PATIENTS -- I DON'T.
I MEAN, IT'S SLOW TODAY, SO...
WELL, WHAT -- WHAT ABOUT, UM...
DO YOU, LIKE, DO THIS VOLUNTEER THING, UH, ALONE,
OR...DOES YOUR BOYFRIEND DO IT WITH YOU SOMETIMES?
OH, NO.
I DON'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND ANYMORE.
WE BROKE UP A FEW MONTHS AGO.
OKAY, YEAH, S-SAME HERE.
A-ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW, I GOT DUMPED.
WHY?
OH.
IT WAS INTENSE, YOU KNOW?
LIKE, AT FIRST...
WE WEREN'T, YOU KNOW, UH, HOOKING UP A LOT.
THEN ONCE WE DID, IT WAS LIKE --
IT WAS LIKE YOU HAD TO DO IT ALL THE TIME?
YEAH.
WITH MY BOYFRIEND, IT WAS LIKE EVERY DAY, EVERYWHERE.
LIKE, YOU KNOW, "WHAT ABOUT...
YOUR PARENTS' BEDROOM?"
UM... YOUR PARENTS' BEDROOM?
WHY?
I DON'T KNOW.
I GUESS IT JUST...
SORT OF BECAME MORE ABOUT HIM THAN US,
AND THEN IT'S HARD TO GO BACK.
NO.
I GUESS WITH THE RIGHT PERSON, THOUGH, IT COULD BE...
OH, TOTALLY. ...DIFFERENT.
TOTALLY.
YEAH, I DON'T KNOW.
I-I...
I MAY, UH, NEVER EVEN FIND OUT.
UH, VANESSA IS...
M-MY GIRLFRIEND'S NAME.
UM...
SHE GOT, UH, PREGNANT.
OH, MY GOD.
YEAH, SO I'M GOING TO BE A FATHER.
OH, MY GOD. AND SHE DUMPED YOU?
I-I TOLD HER, LIKE,
WE COULD GET MARRIED, OR, YOU KNOW, I-I'D HELP HER...
...THAT WE COULD FIND A WAY TO TAKE CARE OF THE KID
SO IT WOULDN'T...
GROW UP WITHOUT A FATHER... LIKE I DID.
BUT VANESSA --
SHE TOLD ME SHE NEVER WANTED TO SEE ME AGAIN.
WHY?
SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO HER DAD.
SHE -- SHE KEPT WANTING TO, LIKE,
HIDE EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON.
BUT SHE STARTED TO SHOW, I GUESS,
BECAUSE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO,
I GOT A PHONE CALL FROM HER FATHER
SAYING THAT IF HE EVER SAW ME
HANGING AROUND HIS DAUGHTER AGAIN,
THAT HE'D KILL ME.
SO I -- I GUESS I DID SOMETHING WRONG.
I-I'VE MESSED UP A LOT THIS YEAR.
Brenda: STOP THERE, BUZZ.
Taylor: ALL RIGHT.
NARCOTICS HAS GIVEN YOU A LIST OF OSCAR DeLEON'S ENEMIES.
THE VICTIM WAS DEALING DRUGS.
YEAH. WHAT -- WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DRUGS?
AND SHE WANTS TO THROW ALL THAT OUT FOR TEEN PREGNANCY. WHY?
THE SHOOTER ONLY HIT TOMAS ONCE. HE SHOT AT JAKE FOUR TIMES.
I THINK THIS PREGNANT GIRLFRIEND
COULD BE A MUCH STRONGER MOTIVE THAN THE POT.
WELL, THAT'S TOO BAD, THEN,
BECAUSE EVEN IF JAKE WAS THE TARGET,
YOU HAD NO PERMISSION TO MAKE THIS RECORDING.
THIS GIRL IS MY NIECE, AND SHE'S A WITNESS.
I HAD EVERY RIGHT TO RECORD HER
FOR...HER OWN PROTECTION.
ARE YOU HER LEGAL GUARDIAN? WELL, NO.
THEN YOU CANNOT ACT ON HER BEHALF.
ANYTHING YOU USE FROM THIS INTERVIEW
WOULD BE FRUIT OF THE POISONOUS TREE.
OKAY, FINE.
IF I CAN'T USE THIS DVD, I'LL USE WHAT'S ON IT.
BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO GET THE INFORMATION
FROM SOME OTHER SOURCE.
AND DON'T YOU WORRY -- I HAVE A GREAT ONE.
PARDON ME.
Fritz: YOU COULDN'T HAVE LIKED THAT. I DIDN'T.
BUT THE PIZZA -- IT COULDN'T HAVE -- IT WAS TOO MUSHY.
IT WAS MUSHY, EXACTLY. THIS IS FANTASTIC.
HELLO!
OH, HEY, HONEY, THERE YOU ARE!
HEY, LISTEN, WE WERE KIND OF WAITING FOR YOU,
BUT IT'S COMPLETELY MY FAULT.
LOOK -- SWISS STEAK.
OH. THAT'S SO NICE.
CHARLIE MADE DINNER AGAIN.
OH, WELL, THANK YOU, CHARLIE.
HERE, YOU GOT TO TASTE SOME.
HERE YOU GO. THANKS.
OH, AND YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE SOME OF THESE POTATOES.
THEY'RE AMAZING.
I THINK IT WAS GOOD FOR JAKE
TO SPEND ALL THAT TIME WITH YOU TODAY, DON'T YOU?
I GUESS.
I'M SURE HE ENJOYED THE MUSIC.
AND I IMAGINE HE TOLD YOU MORE ABOUT HIS LIFE
AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
'CAUSE I'M -- I'M WORRIED ABOUT HIM --
JAKE.
WHY?
UH...
I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT HIS LIFE IS IN DANGER.
IT SEEMED LIKE HE WAS GETTING BETTER TO ME.
NO, I-I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE INJURIES.
I'M SAYING THAT I NO LONGER BELIEVE
THAT JAKE WAS JUST A WITNESS.
I-I THINK HE WAS THE PRINCIPAL TARGET.
REALLY? WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THAT?
BECAUSE OF THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE,
WHICH IS WHY, CHARLIE...
...IF JAKE SAID ANYTHING TO YOU TODAY
ABOUT HIS LIFE THAT MIGHT BE A REASON
FOR SOMEONE TO WANT TO HURT HIM --
HE DIDN'T.
NO?
NOTHING AT ALL?
NOPE.
WHAT ABOUT HIS GIRLFRIEND -- VANESSA?
HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT --
YOU SPIED ON ME, DIDN'T YOU?
NO. I TAPED YOU.
BRENDA, YOU CAN'T PUT CHARLIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS.
SHE'S BEEN IN THE MIDDLE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
LOOK...
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO REPEAT YOUR CONVERSATION WITH JAKE,
THIS IS A PREPARED STATEMENT WHERE YOU CONFIRM
THAT JAKE TOLD YOU
ABOUT GETTING HIS GIRLFRIEND, VANESSA, PREGNANT.
AND YOU ARE GOING TO SIGN IT.
NO. I'M NOT SIGNING ANYTHING.
OKAY. THIS IS A DVD --
A RECORDING OF EVERYTHING YOU SAID IN THAT HOSPITAL ROOM --
ABOUT THE POT,
ABOUT WHAT YOU DID IN YOUR PARENTS' BEDROOM
WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND.
OH...MY GOD.
IT'S ALL GOING DIRECTLY TO YOUR ADDRESS, FedEx'd.
YOU WOULDN'T DO THAT. BRENDA!
I'M TRYING TO PROTECT THIS BOY'S LIFE.
SHE'S TRYING TO PROTECT HIS SECRETS.
WHICH DO YOU THINK IS MORE IMPORTANT?
YOU ARE THE MOST HORRIBLE PERSON I HAVE EVER MET!
TELL THE WORLD THAT.
SIGN THE PAPER, GET YOUR CELL PHONE BACK.
AND YOU CAN CALL EVERYONE YOU KNOW
AND TELL THEM WHAT A MONSTER I AM
FOR TRYING TO STOP SOMEONE FROM KILLING JAKE.
OR I GIFT WRAP THIS DVD AND SEND IT TO YOUR PARENTS --
YOUR CHOICE.
RECORDING ME.
I'M ONLY DOING THIS TO PROTECT JAKE!
NO ONE BELIEVES THAT, INCLUDING YOU.
INCLUDING ME.
I HAD TO DO THIS TO LEGALLY CLOSE MY CASE.
AND THIS WAS THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT?
I DIDN'T LIE TO HER.
AUNT BRENDA, QUICK! WE HAVE TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW!
CHARLIE, WAIT, WAIT. ARE YOU OKAY? YEAH.
I CALLED JAKE, AND I TOLD HIM EVERYTHING ABOUT WHO I AM
AND ABOUT HOW YOU SPIED ON US AND EVERYTHING!
CHARLIE, SLOW DOWN, SLOW DOWN. WHAT DID YOU DO?
WAIT, HUSH, HUSH, HUSH. WHAT DID YOU DO?
I-I CALLED JAKE, AND HE SOUNDED AWFUL.
I -- HE HAD THIS REALLY BAD FEVER,
AND THE NURSES MADE HIM GET OFF THE PHONE! OKAY.
I'M -- I'M GOING TO GET MY CLOTHES ON. NO, CHARLIE!
NO, IT WILL ONLY TAKE A SECOND! Fritz: CHARLIE, NO, NO, WAIT.
I-I TOLD HIM I WAS COMING! WELL, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.
HE'S NOT GONNA TALK TO YOU! I TOLD HIM EVERYTHING YOU DID! WELL, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT, EITHER!
YOU HAVE TO LET ME SEE HIM! OKAY, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
LOOK, CHARLIE -- WHERE IS MY PURSE?
I'LL FIND YOUR PURSE. I'LL FIND YOUR PURSE.
STAY HERE.
OHH.
YOU SAID YOURSELF THAT I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS.
CHARLIE, I PROMISE YOU --
I WILL DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO HELP THIS BOY.
SHE'S TELLING YOU THE TRUTH.
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO HIM?
AS SOON AS I FIND OUT, I WILL CALL YOU.
THANK YOU.
DRIVE CAREFULLY, ALL RIGHT?
WHAT NOW?
NOW I WAIT UP WITH YOU.
DOCTOR, UM, I'M SORRY.
I JUST NEED TO KNOW IF JAKE CAN HANDLE
BEING INTERVIEWED AT THE MOMENT?
WE GOT HIM MAXED OUT ON MORPHINE,
SO HE'LL BE IN AND OUT.
DO YOU KNOW IF HE SPOKE TO HIS MOTHER YET?
HALF AN HOUR AGO.
SHE'S ON A PLANE COMING IN FROM HONOLULU,
BUT SHE'S STILL ABOUT THREE HOURS AWAY.
HE'S NEVER GONNA LAST THAT LONG.
UH, CHIEF, CHIEF.
UH, WE DON'T TECHNICALLY NEED IT,
BUT CONSIDERING THAT, UH, WE TAPED HIM
WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION YESTERDAY --
RIGHT. I'LL ASK. OKAY.
JAKE?
MOM...
MOM. MOM, YOU -- Y-YOU MADE IT.
NO, NO, JAKE, IT'S -- IT'S ME, BRENDA, FROM THE POLICE.
BUT YOUR MOM'S COMING. SHE'LL BE HERE ANY MINUTE.
IS, UH -- IS -- IS CHARLIE HERE?
UH, NO. NO.
BUT SHE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU THAT SHE'S THINKING ABOUT YOU.
NOW, JAKE, I'M -- I'M SORRY,
BUT I HAVE TO RECORD OUR CONVERSATION.
ALL RIGHT, THEN?
YOU'RE ASKING ME THIS TIME?
YES. I AM -- I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
THAT'S OKAY.
NOW, I'M GONNA KEEP THIS SHORT,
BUT I WANT TO ASK YOU AGAIN --
DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE SHOOTING?
NO. NO.
YOU SAID THAT YOU SAW SOMEONE LEAVING
AND -- AND THAT IT WAS A BOY AND NOT A GIRL.
HOW -- HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?
I, UM...
I-I SAW HIS -- HIS FEET...
AS HE WAS RUNNING AWAY --
HIS...
HIKING BOOTS...
UH, TAN.
TAN HIKING BOOTS. THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S VERY, VERY GOOD.
DID, UH, Y
I-I DID. I DID.
AND SHE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU
THAT SHE LOVES YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.
SHE KNOWS MORE THAN YOU REALIZE.
SHE KNOWS ALL ABOUT...
THE PROBLEM THAT YOU HAD WITH YOUR...
GIRLFRIEND.
WHAT'S UH, VANESSA, VANESSA...
ALMASSIAN.
VANESSA ALMASSIAN -- RIGHT.
SHE KNOWS ALL ABOUT THAT, AND SHE DOESN'T CARE AT ALL.
SHE LOVES YOU JUST THE SAME.
SO THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
THAT'S -- THAT'S GOOD.
UH, GOOD MORNING, SERGEANT.
WELL, IT'S 4:14 A.M., TO BE EXACT.
YEAH.
I WANT YOU TO LOOK UP A NAME --
VANESSA ALMASSIAN.
I DON'T KNOW.
PROBABLY A-L-M-A-S-I-A-N, MAYBE TWO S's.
YES, SERGEANT, NOW.
HUH
MOM MAMA. MOM.
N--
Y
YOU MADE IT.
YES, I MADE IT.
I KNEW YOU WOULD MAKE IT.
MOMMY.
I'MSORRY.
NO.
DON'T BE SORRY.
I LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT.
SO MUCH -- SO MUCH TROUBLE, THOUGH.
NO. NO, NO, NO. NO TROUBLE AT ALL.
YOU SURE?
I'M POSITIVE. POSITIVE.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
SORRY.
THANKS.
I SPOKE WITH SERGEANT GABRIEL.
HE CALLED BACK WITH A HIT ON THE NAME ALMASSIAN.
REALLY
FROM AN INTERVIEW CARD FROM THE CRIME SCENE.
THERE WAS ACTUALLY SOMEBODY THERE WITH THAT LAST NAME.
OH. AND WE'VE GOT AN ADDRESS.
AND THEY'RE GETTING A SEARCH WARRANT.
SO -- SO WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN AND JUST TAKE IT EASY? NO, NO, NO.
I HAVE TO GO DOWNSTAIRS AND WAIT FOR JAKE'S MOTHER.
I CAN DO THAT.
SO, SIT... CATCH YOUR BREATH.
FLYNN'S GONNA DROP BY AND PICK YOU UP
AS SOON AS THEY GET THE WARRANT.
OKAY.
OH, I'M FINE, REALLY.
TAKE IT.
YOU NEVER KNOW.
GENTLEMEN, DO WE KNOW IF THE ALMASSIANS ARE HOME?
WELL, THE FATHER'S DUE AT WORK IN ABOUT --
UH, ABOUT AN HOUR.
BEST GUESS IS THE SON AND DAUGHTER ARE STILL INSIDE.
HERE'S THE, UH, INTERVIEW CARD FROM THE CRIME SCENE.
OKAY. THANK YOU.
SERGEANT, LET'S MAKE SURE
THAT ALL THE EXITS ARE COVERED WHILE I'M INSIDE.
WE GOT IT, CHIEF.
GENTLEMEN, WOULD YOU PLEASE STAY OUT OF SIGHT FOR THE MOMENT?
LET'S SEE HOW MANY ANSWERS
I CAN GET BEFORE I INVITE Y'ALL INSIDE.
MR. ALMASSIAN?
YES?
I'M DEPUTY CHIEF BRENDA LEIGH JOHNSON OF THE L.A.P.D.
I NEED TO ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS, SIR.
I'M ON MY WAY TO WORK.
DO YOU KNOW A YOUNG MAN BY THE NAME OF JAKE BURRELL?
YOU NEED TO TALK TO MY DAUGHTER.
VANESSA, THIS IS
DEPUTY CHIEF BRENDA LEIGH JOHNSON, THE L.A.P.D.
SHE WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT JAKE. SO WHAT HAPPENED?
HE RAPE ANOTHER GIRL? DAD!
I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD CALL THE COPS.
NOW LOOK -- HE'S DONE IT AGAIN!
NOW, THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER, VANESSA.
I EXPECT A SERIOUS ANSWER. DID JAKE RAPE YOU?
DON'T LOOK AT HIM! LOOK AT ME! DID HE RAPE YOU?
TELL HER WHAT YOU TOLD ME AND YOUR BROTHER.
I SEE YOU'RE PREGNANT.
YEAH.
IS JAKE BURRELL THE FATHER?
YEAH.
TELL HER WHAT HAPPENED!
GO AHEAD, VANESSA, TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.
NO.
SHE WOULD RATHER BRING SHAME TO HER WHOLE FAMILY.
MR. ALMASSIAN, DO YOU OWN A GUN?
YEAH. WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING? WHERE IS IT?
WHERE IS IT?!
IT'S IN THE TOP DRAWER OF THAT TABLE BY THE FRONT DOOR.
I THINK YOU SHOULD TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON!
OKAY.
WE HAVE A WARRANT TO SEARCH YOUR HOUSE.
YOU HAVE A WARRANT?! HERE'S WHAT YOU DO -- YOU COOPERATE.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?! YOU COOPERATE!
YOU THINK YOU'RE ASHAMED NOW?
WAIT TILL I TAKE YOU AND YOUR PREGNANT DAUGHTER TO JAIL
IN FRONT OF THE NEIGHBORS.
JUST GIVE ME A REASON! CHIEF.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE HOUSE
BESIDES THE TWO OF YOU, SIR?
MY SON, ALEX. HE'S SLEEPING.
Tao: SIR, I THINK YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER SHOULD GRAB A CHAIR
AND STAY SEATED.
MR. ALMASSIAN, WHERE WERE YOU AT 9:00 YESTERDAY MORNING?
I WAS AT WORK. CALL MY BOSS.
AND YOUR DAUGHTER? SHE WAS HERE.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR SON? HE WAS HERE, TOO.
NOT ACCORDING TO THIS FIELD-INTERVIEW CARD.
AN OFFICER STOPPED YOUR SON
YESTERDAY TWO BLOCKS FROM WHERE A YOUNG MAN
WAS SHOT AND KILLED
AND JAKE BURRELL WAS FATALLY WOUNDED.
WHAT? WHAT?
JAKE DIED THIS MORNING FROM GUNSHOT WOUNDS.
CHIEF! LOOK WHAT I FOUND IN ONE OF THE BEDROOMS!
MR. ALMASSIAN, WHERE IS YOUR SON?!
WHERE IS HE?! HEY! HEY! OUT FRONT!
HE'S RUNNING AWAY!
HEY! GET DOWN!
GET ON THE GROUND!
HEY, LEAVE HIM ALONE! WHAT'S HE DONE?!
STAY BACK!
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ALEX?! WE'RE ARRESTING ALEX FOR MURDER.
WHAT?! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!
WHAT WHAT DID I DO?
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO GOT HIM SO MAD!
BUT JAKE RAPED YOU!
NO, HE DIDN'T!
HE DIDN'T.
YOU CALLED ME A WHORE. WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO SAY?
HOW ABOUT THE TRUTH?
IF YOU TOLD THE TRUTH FROM THE BEGINNING,
JAKE WOULD STILL BE ALIVE!
IT'S OVER, CHIEF. IT'S OVER.
NO, IT ISN'T.
I STILL HAVE A NOTIFICATION TO DO.
COME ON. GET UP.
IS THAT HER?
I THINK IT IS.
YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE GONNA CALL. WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL?
UH, I'M SORRY.
THINGS GOT VERY BUSY, AND, UM...
...I ENDED UP MAKING AN ARREST.
OH, SO YOU FOUND THE GUY WHO SHOT JAKE.
I DID. I DID, THANKS TO CHARLIE.
I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT, BECAUSE OF YOUR HELP
AND THE WAY THAT YOU TOOK CARE OF JAKE,
WE ARRESTED THE KILLER TODAY.
REALLY?
REALLY.
BUT...
WHAT HAPPENED TO JAKE?
IN -- IN GUNSHOT WOUNDS, THERE'S ALWAYS...
...THERE'S ALWAYS A SERIOUS CHANCE OF INFECTION.
ARE YOU SAYING HE DIED?
YES, HE DID.
CHARLIE, I-I'M SO SORRY
THAT I PUT YOU IN SUCH A TERRIBLE POSITION.
I AM SO -- I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE.
THERE WAS NOTHING YOU COULD HAVE DONE.
I COULD HAVE SAID GOODBYE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ME SAY GOODBYE?
OH, CHARLIE.
YOU KEPT ME HERE WHEN YOU KNEW HE WAS DYING.
YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE ANGRY. YOU DIDN'T EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE.
I HAVE NOT TREATED YOU PROPERLY. WHY DIDN'T YOU GIVE ME A CHANCE?
WELL -- WELL, LET ME -- LET ME ANSWER YOU.
LET -- LET ME ANSWER YOU. I...
LOOK, JAKE -- HE WAS IN VERY BAD SHAPE,
AND HE HAD A VERY LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME TO TALK,
SO I HAD TO MAKE A DECISION BETWEEN...
FINDING OUT WHO KILLED HIM AND -- AND --
AND LETTING YOU SAY GOODBYE,
AND I CHOSE TO FIND OUT WHO KILLED HIM.
DID I MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE?
HE...
HE ASKED ABOUT YOU.
CHARLIE, HE -- HE KNEW YOU WERE HIS FRIEND.
HE KNEW THAT. HE DID ASK ABOUT YOU.
