WAYNE JENKINS: I'm not here to tell you
that you're not gonna fight.

- (MONITOR BEEPS)
- (KEYBOARD CLACKING)

JENKINS: See,
there is gonna come a time,

every single one of you,

you are all gonna have to fight
to control your post.

It's gonna happen.

All the talk in the world,

all that authority you think
you have, that just...

(EXHALING SHARPLY)
...that goes out the window

when some cat out there
wants to try it.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

And here's the thing.

When you have to fight...

man, you gotta win.

(CHUCKLING)

There's people who think
that police brutality

- is when police win fights.
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

But last time I checked,

aren't we supposed
to win the fights?

So, if we're in a fight,

f*ck any talk
of police brutality.

(POLICE SIREN WAILING)

(OFFICER SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY
OVER RADIO)

Check it.

If we lose the fights,
we lose the streets.

Let that sink in.

But I'm not here
to talk to you about the fights

that you have to have.
See, I'm here to, uh...

I'm here to talk to you
about the ones you...

That you wanna have.

(CHUCKLES) And ones you...
you think you're entitled to,

just because you're wearing
a badge.

See, that,
that's the real brutality.

The thing is you don't need
that kind of brutality.

And, hey,
not 'cause it's not fun.

Right? I get it.

Get a few licks in
on some mouthy assh*le

who just can't shut the f*ck up.

I mean, come on.
Fun is fun, right? Yeah.

- (CHUCKLES)
- (CADETS CHUCKLE)

But see,
that kind of brutality just...

It only gets in the way
of doing the job.

- First off...
- (FIST THUDDING ON PODIUM)

...no one's gonna talk
to you if you're b*ating on 'em.

I mean, no one is gonna tell you
what you need to know.

And here's the thing.
If you really wanna kick ass

out on those streets,
it's information.

- OFFICER: There it is.
- JENKINS: Find out who's who.

SUSPECT: No, it ain't!
That ain't mine.

Who does what dirt,
where do they do it?

Who is it that they do
that dirt with?

Information.
That's what will get you cases.

- That's what will get you g*ns
and dr*gs.
- RESIDENT: I don't know, man.

So, you can think
you're the baddest dude

behind a badge,

Baltimore City bad ass,
you're b*ating on people,

but by the time
you walk into court,

- what are you walking in with?
- OFFICER: Lift your hands!

JENKINS:
A bunch of failures to yield?

Disorderlies,
some ticky-tack nonsense?

You got nothing that's gonna
make a state attorney

sign your court slip.
So, what are you doing?

You're getting paid
to sit on a bench

- in a hallway...
- (DOOR ALARM BUZZES)

JENKINS: ...outside Wabash
for a few hours

for a case that's only gonna
get dismissed?

JUDGE: You will exit
on the right.

JENKINS: Truth is, man,
you ain't doing jack

by being brutal.
See, you ain't getting g*ns.

You ain't getting dr*gs.

You ain't getting those big,
hairy, balls-out cases,

the ones that'll get you paid,
get you promoted.

(CADET COUGHING)

Here's the other thing about,
uh, being brutal.

Get the f*ck off me, yo.
I ain't do something.

Not only does it get in the way
of doing the job,

but I'ma tell you right now,
when you b*at on people,

- you will get IAD complaints.
- (BARKS)

JENKINS: You'll get files.
You get enough complaints,

you get a reputation.
Maybe even transferred

out of your unit.
And even if you can write

your way out of the hassle,
and most police worth a sh*t,

well, they can write
their way out

- of pretty much anything.
- (CADETS CHUCKLE)

JENKINS: I'm telling you,
it just gets you
the kind of attention

that only makes it harder
to do the job.

And I've heard it all before.
"No, Sarge,

I never got charged for that.

We never even went
in front of a trial board."

But then a month, two months
down the road,

a civil suit comes behind you.

City's gotta pay money for you.

You get a reputation for that,
then you get pulled off

the street. Then what good
are you to anyone?

Look, bottom line,
if b*ating on people made cases,

sh*t, I'd tell you, go on
out there, kick everybody's ass.

But you know what?
It just don't work like that.

So, if that's the kind of work

you wanna do,
I'ma tell you right now,

you're not coming anywhere
near my unit.

g*n Trace Task Force,
we are not about that bullshit.

So, what am I saying?

When you leave here tonight,
are you gonna say,

"Man, was Wayne Jenkins up here

telling me that we can't fight
if we have to fight?

Wayne Jenkins, he was telling us

that we can't control our post

if we have to control
our post."

Man, I'm telling you,
you better control your post.

"But Wayne Jenkins,
he was telling us

that our hands are tied?"

Your hands are not f*cking tied.

- (POLICE SIREN WAILING)
- JENKINS: Get this.

Police officer on the street,
if he knows the law.

- f*ck you! (CHUCKLES)
- JENKINS: If he knows

how to use the law,

if he can write a report,

if he can make
that report read clean,

if he understands
his own authority,

he wins.
And that's not sometimes.

That's every time.
That is every f*cking time.

And no matter what you're doing
out there in those streets,

by the time you walk
into any courtroom in this city,

your word prevails.

And if you're getting
good cases,

if you're getting
dr*gs and g*ns,

you're bringing in sh**t,
sh*t.

- (DOOR CLOSING)
- (KEYS JANGLING)

JENKINS: Man, you can't lose.

Now, go out there
and give them hell.

In fact, I got to Baltimore
before Freddie Gray,

with an independent
consulting team

that was requested by the mayor
after the newspaper here

revealed a sh*t-ton of city
payouts to brutality victims.

So, that was voluntary.

But after Freddie Gray,
the mayor went all-in.

Asked DOJ
for a full-bore investigation

to support a consent decree.

But the truth is,
she didn't have to ask.

After Freddie Gray,

we were coming
whether she asked or not.

Mm. Excess brutality, profiling,
selective prosecution.

In a city of , ,

BPD cops reported over ,

pedestrian stops

to turn this thing around

needs to happen sooner,
not later.

Thank you for that, Ms. Mayor.

But I asked
for this meeting today

because I wanted some insight
as to why you've asked

the police commissioner
to resign.

Have you seen the crime stats?

Since Freddie Gray,
the city is out of control.

Murders, sh**t, robberies,
everything is way up.

And you blame
Commissioner Batts?

See, I have the impression
that a lot

of your rank-and-file officers
are quitting on you.

A work slowdown

is the new commissioner's
worry as well.

Beginning
with Mosby's indictments

in the Freddie Gray case,
arrests have nosedived.

But you asked

why I replaced
Commissioner Batts.

And the honest truth is,

that I began
to lose faith in him,

even before
the crime rate exploded.

In fact, I'd date it to the day
of Freddie Gray's funeral.

Funeral and the rioting
that followed.

- The uprising.
- Uprising. Pardon me.

STEPHANIE RAWLINGS-BLAKE:
Call it what you will.

With the funeral scheduled
and the city on edge,

I called Commissioner Batts
to ask about our preparations.

I reached him
on his way to the airport.

He was taking
a vacation in Greece.

I had to order him back.

Not that he came back
to Baltimore

and turned anything around.

By then, I had people
in the police department

telling me a job action
was underway.

And arrests are still way down
at this moment,

with the crime rate
at an all-time high.

They're mad as hell
about the state's attorney

- charging those officers.
- Reform has a cost.

It does. And if it was going
to be up to me,

I would certainly pay it.

It won't be up to you as mayor?
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

I've yet to announce this,
Ms. Steele, but...

I won't be running
for reelection.

I'm stepping down.

KILPATRICK: Oh, wifey's got

MCDOUGALL: Man,
I've seen guys roll up here

who look like they work
at T. Rowe Price.

Cars with Hopkins stickers
in the windows.

Heroin's cheaper than oxy.

And we think
that's Anderson's jeep?

MCDOUGALL: We do,
but he rolled out,

and we don't know
when he's coming back.

Well... patience then.

Yeah.

You think your latest
intel's good?

KILPATRICK: On Anderson?
I think so.

I got two CIs that say
he's not using Brill anymore.

He's getting his sh*t
somewhere else.

Hmm.

(CLICKS TONGUE) Oh, yeah,
there's something else I got.

Last spring,
Anderson got pulled up by BPD

for selling in the parking lot
of Belvedere Towers.

So, city guys roll his car.
They find grams.

That's federal weight.

But he wasn't charged.

What,
he talked himself out of it?

You gotta trade something good
to get out of weight like that.

I like that history.

I like a man
who cooperates early and often.

Or I don't know,
maybe Baltimore City

just does things
different than we do.

Who f*cking knows?

KILPATRICK: Who f*cking knows?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Well... Her Honor's had enough.

After Freddie Gray,
I can't blame her.

- But you know what that means?
- No.

to come to Baltimore
and fix things

won't be the same politician
that actually has to do it.

Judge Moore,
I really do appreciate you

making the time to meet with me.

Kevin Haughton
in the PD's Office,

he said that you might be able
to provide some insight.

How can I help?

I'm trying to find out
about Baltimore officers

whose names keep coming up
repeatedly in complaints,

either excessive force
or civil rights violations,

and he threw a name at me.

Daniel Hersl.

Hersl's not the only one,

but Kevin and I have talked
about him before, so...

He seems
to be a multiple offender.

Mm. You could say so.
About complaints against him.

That's pretty multiple.
Why is he still on the street?

Simply put,
Hersl and guys like him,

they get out of their cars,
and they make arrests.

And that's more than you can say
about too many police

in this city who are collecting
a paycheck.

And it's become a bigger problem

since the Freddie Gray
indictment.

- The work slowdown.
- FRANKLIN MOORE: Exactly.

So, strangely enough,
Hersl has become

an asset these days,
despite his many faults.

In fact, I've had to throw out

several of his arrests
on cases in my court.

And he's come damn close
to perjuring himself

on Fourth Amendment stuff
time and again.

Of course,
that's not unique to him.

You should get a copy
of The List.

- "The List"?
- MOORE: Yes.

There is a list of about
Baltimore police officers

who can no longer
testify in court

because they have been exposed
for on-the-stand perjury.

That many?

MOORE: And more being added
all the time.

Ugh. And Hersl's on this list?

Not yet, but he should be.

(OFFICER SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY
OVER RADIO)

What the...

What the actual f*ck?

I told Van it a,
"This agency is open to you,"

because the truth
is I'm not afraid

of a consent decree.
I policed under a consent decree

when I was assistant chief
down at PG County, and...

And that decree
helped us restore

some trust in the community.

Well, a consent decree is just
a piece of paper

unless the politicians
and the police agencies

- actually implement change.
- Yeah, very true. Water?

Oh, please.

So, let me ask you this.

And I'm fully aware you've only
been police commissioner

for a few months,
and I'm not asking you

to personally account
for all of this.

But how the hell
does an officer rack up

over civilian complaints
of brutality and abuse

in one career,
and remain on the street?

- Hersl.
- That name came easy enough.

DAVIS: I first heard it from one

of the West Baltimore ministers
when I got to town.

In... in fact, he gave me
two names of shady cops.

Daniel Hersl and Fabien Laronde.

Hersl, as you point out,
is still on the street,

but do you know
where Laronde is?

He's awaiting a trial board
and he's off the street.

And he's not charged
with anything big,

but I've told my IAD people

that if the trial board finds
against him, he's gone.

So, what's the difference
between Laronde and Hersl?

Laronde has sustained
complaints. Five, in fact.

So, his jacket has enough
that I can say,

"Screw the union.
Screw the rank-and-file.

This guy is bad. This guy goes."

Hersl has a single
sustained complaint.

So, how does Hersl generate
so many complaints,

year after year,
and so little is sustained?

And how is it that Laronde,
with five sustained complaints,

is still on payroll

and is still awaiting
a trial board?

This is the department
that I inherited, Ms. Steele.

These are the tools I have.

In the wake of this seizure,

thoughts on the fact

that many of our officers

indictments?

Now, look, uh, DC,

I'm sure you know
the deal same as me.

Officers involved
in the Freddie Gray arrest,

they got the raw deal
in that indictment.

But those cases are coming out
the right way in court.

Now, I can't think of any reason

whatsoever, why would we need
to stand down on making arrests,

as long
as they're the right arrests?

But many in the rank and file
disagree with you, Sergeant.

Citywide,
our arrests are down percent

- since the indictments.
- I can't speak to that, sir,

but I can speak...
Can speak to my unit.

g*n Trace Task Force,

our arrests are up
over the last eight weeks.

Now, look,
the numbers don't lie.

You compare our stats
post-Freddie Gray to before,

you'll see exactly
what I'm talking about.

You don't worry about going out
on the street

Oh, sh*t.

We got a lot of g*ns
on the table today.

Here. I need these officers
to report

to the off site tomorrow.
You tell them.

GERMAN: I mean,
it's a million things.

JENKINS: Tell you what.
You know what I'm saying.

Well, as it happens,
Sergeant Jenkins,

IAD just called down here,
and asked if they could see you

up on Kirk Avenue
at : a.m. tomorrow.

Oh, yeah?

Doesn't sound like anything
you can't handle.

Something about some damage
to the rear quarter panel

of a department vehicle
that you didn't report properly.

- Wow. A real career-ender.

Thanks, DC.

Let's go up to the meeting room.

Okay.

Is that true?
What kind of grown-ass

how to swim, man?

Please tell me

FBI! FBI! Give me your hands!
Hands! Hands! Hands!

I'm one of you, man!

I'm one of you.

You're not one of us.
It's all good, Commissioner.

(GROANS) Man,
get your f*cking hands off me.

You're on my f*cking arm...

- Waiting on our SAC.

The commissioner
wants just a moment.

Sir.

SIERACKI: Huh.

Okay.
