(phone rings)

- Hello.

- [Tom] Can you talk?

- Yeah, sure. (whispering)

How you been, man?

- [Tom] I can't come in.

- Well, you gotta come in.

You gotta talk to the captain.

- [Tom] I can't.

- Penhall, we're up.

- Yeah, I'll be right there.

Listen man, you've
gotta come in.

Hello?

- The witness made
a positive ID.

- How can they be
sure, it was dark?

- They also found Hanson's
Mustang parked on the street.

- Well, that doesn't
prove anything captain,

He was on an investigation.

- Besides, we're talking
about Hanson here.

- So?

- So Hanson wouldn't even
cheat on his time clock.

- He broke into my apartment.

- Oh, right.

You must be loving this huh?

- What is that
supposed to mean, huh?

It means you have been
dying for the chance

to run this guy up a rail.

- Look, I don't like this
any more than you guys,

but he ran himself up a rail.

- You're judging him
without the facts fella.

- Hey.

The facts are, we have a
m*rder*d police officer.

Hanson in Tower's house
with out a warrant.

And we have an eyewitness

who saw him running
from the crime scene.

- This is nuts.

Hanson would not sh**t anybody
unless he had no choice.

Especially, not
a police officer.

- Then why isn't he here.

- He must have a good reason.

- Then he should be here
telling us about it.

- Have you heard from him?

- No.

You were just defending
him two seconds ago.

- Well how am I
gonna defend him?

He sh*t a cop and ran.

- You don't know that.

- I know that if he
didn't k*ll Tower,

he'd be here right now.

- Hanson was trying to
put together evidence

against Tower for
setting up Harry.

- Penhall, we don't
know that Tower

gave the order to get Harry.

- Hanson knew Tower
was dealing g*ns.

He had an eyewitness telling
him that Tower ordered the hit.

- If he had that information,
why didn't he come to me?

I would have given
him everything

he needed to get
a search warrant.

- What are you trying
to say Captain?

What, Hanson went over
there to k*ll the guy?

Is that it?

- I don't know.

Hanson's a cop,
he knows the law.

If he's innocent,
he should be here.

- You okay?

- I don't know.

I lost a friend
in the department,

it's gonna take some
time, but I'll be okay.

- Yeah, the shrink think so too.

- You talked to him about me?

(sighs)

- Okay, you gotta
problem with me,

or you think I'm slipping
up on the job or something,

you talk to me about it.

- Look Frank, I talked to him
'cause I want you on the case.

I just wanted to make sure

you are strong enough
to handle it, alright?

- I'm sorry.

- You were the first
officer on the scene,

you know the case.

If it was my partner --

- I'm telling ya, it's k*lling
me sitting at that desk.

- You gonna have to
cooperate with Homicide.

- No problem.

- You got any leads on this guy?

- Yeah, I've got some
ideas where to look.

- Alright, you check
on anybody this Hanson

might have contacted.

Trace back to the case
he was working on.

- Alright.

- And your partner's
in the bullpen.

- Terrific.

Dennis Booker?

- You Ferrell?

- Frank.

- How's it going Frank.

- So, so.

- Listen, I'm really
sorry about your partner,

my condolences.

- Yeah? Thanks.

- So, what do you say we
do something about it, huh?

- Where are you from?

- I was working homicide
over in Sedgewick.

- No, no, no, no, I mean
where are you really from?

- New York.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Me too.

- Yeah, what street?

- Why didn't you put
me in with Farrell?

- You tell me.

- Because, I'm Hanson's
partner and best friend.

- Bingo.

- Well that's a load
of crap, Captain.

You don't think I'm
a good enough cop,

I can put my emotions aside?

- And you don't think anyone
cares about Hanson except you.

- I don't see anybody
else backing him.

- Hey, I had to pull a
hell of a lot of strings

just to get one of our
guys onto this case.

- Well a lot of good
that does Hanson.

- Dirty cop's partner
probably dirty himself.

Teamed with the one guy

here at Jump Street
who hates Hanson.

- Booker is there so
Hanson won't be railroaded

or maybe even sh*t by
an overzealous partner.

- Booker is the wrong
guy for this case.

He's not going to try to
prove Hanson's innocence.

- Exactly.

(somber music plays)

Look, Doug.

I wanna believe that Hanson is
innocent as badly as you do.

But because, I'm a good
cop, as you are Pehnall,

I look at the facts, and
truthfully I have my doubts,

as I know you do.

Only I admit mine.

To send you out there looking
for Hanson's innocence

instead of the truth,

it's not what we do.

- What am I supposed to do?

Just stand around doing nothing?

- That's right.

And if he tries to contact
you and you don't tell me,

your badge is gonna be in
the trash along side his.

- So you haven't
spoken to him at all?

- No, I haven't.

- [Dennis] When did
you see him last?

- Two days before the incident.

Officer.

- Does he have any
place he might go

that nobody else knows about?

- If he did, then I wouldn't
know about it, would I?

Officer.

- Hey, smart-ass, cut
the "officer" crap.

You toss the word around like
it doesn't mean too much.

- Not to your buddy anyway.

- Or to a cop k*ller.

Huh?

- Get off of me.

- Argh.

- I find out you've
been hiding him,

I'll be on you so fast
your head will spin.

- Whatever you say big man.

(door slams)

- Great technique.

Where'd you go to, Morton
Downey interrogation school.

(slams desk)

Would you take it easy.

Penhall is a cop too.

- Look, guys like that,
they come on the force,

they don't know what it means.

Partner means life.

You don't take a stand

when your brother gets k*lled,

you're nothing.

- Frank, I'm after this guy too.

- Right, you're a
good partner Dennis.

(life support beeping)

- Hey.

- How is he?

- He still hasn't
regained consciousness.

- Hey.

- Doug, you haven't
heard from him have you?

- Nope.

- Doug.

- I don't know where he is.

(crickets chirping)

(papers rustling)

- Hanson, you were here.

You were here.

Come on buddy. (whispering)

(subdued synthesizer music)

- Oh, God.

There's a lot of
guys looking for you.

- Yeah, I know.

I sh*t him Doug.

I was trying to fire
a warning sh*t and

somehow I hit him.

- I can't believe it.

- The guy was filthy.

He's selling a*t*matic weapons,

and God knows what else
to half the barrio.

- Don't take this the wrong way,

but do you think that after
what happened to Harry --

- What that I went too far,
that I was out for revenge?

How is Harry?

- Doctor says he
might not make it.

Do you need anything?

You need money?

Here, take it.

You'd do the same for me.

- Listen, I couldn't find

any g*ns in this guys house.

But, I found this list
that was in a lock box

inside his desk.

I don't know what
the hell it means.

- Well, I'll check it out.

- I'm gonna take
this copy to Psycho,

see if he knows
anything about it.

- Just be careful.

- Listen, you gotta check
out everything on this guy.

Bank accounts, personal files.

- I'll do whatever it takes.

- Thanks.

Thanks.

- [Psycho] Hey, Calavaro.

- Qué pasa?

- w*r's on, homes, we're
going after those fools.

I heard things about you.

- What'd you hear?

- Someone wasted my
connection, the bud man.

- I'm your connection now.

- Yeah?

You the kind of connection

that gives a discount
to his home boys?

- Es mi barrio ese.

Look, I got this list.

We can make some money
with these people.

- Homes.

We ain't gonna do no
business with these people.

This family moved out
about a month ago.

And this vato just had
his home repossessed.

This ain't nothin' man.

(upbeat synthesizer music)

(keyboard clacking)

- I have a delivery next
door for the Brooks's.

- They don't live there no more.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, they moved out
about a month ago man.

- They pulled the rest the slugs

from the walls
outside buddy's house.

- Get anything interesting?

- Yeah.

Three g*ns.

- Three?

- Uh huh.

Hanson's, Buddy's,
and someone else.

- There's a Gangster's
Lord's fire-fight

going down right now.

- How many dead?

- I don't know, but happening
at the Fifth Street underpass.

Get going, let's go.

(subdued synthesizer music)

- [Frank] Looks like
a damn b*ttlefield.

Hey, Booker.

- Yeah.

- dammit.

(siren wails)

- Ahh man, what a waste.

- Hey Frank, I just got
the report from ballistics.

You're not gonna believe this.

- Psycho was there.

- His g*n matches the b*ll*ts
they found in the wall.

- What about the b*ll*ts
that k*lled buddy?

- They came from
a different g*n.

Hanson's g*n?

- [Doug] Psycho's dead.

- I know.

- Ballistics ID'd the
b*ll*ts from Psycho's g*n.

They matched the
b*llet that they

found in the exterior
wall of Bud Tower's house.

- Psycho was there?

- Yeah.

But listen, the b*llet in
the wall does not match

the b*llet that
k*lled Bud Tower.

It just points the
finger harder at you.

- No, no wait a minute.

That means Psycho k*lled him.

Picked up my g*n
where I dropped it.

All we gotta do is
find the other g*n.

- If you find the g*n,

they'll just think
you planted it.

- Did forensics test the
other g*ng member's weapons?

- Only Psycho's was matched.

Look, I'll search
for the other g*n.

Where you you think he
might have stashed it?

(somber music)

- Give me a pack of Marlb...

A pack of gum.

What're you doing out here man?

It's freezing.

- Old habit.

- What you mean?

- Never wait alone in
a parked car at night,

you're a sittin' duck.

- Yeah, right.

- No, I'll drive.

- [Dennis] That's p*rn.

- What?

- I've never seen anyone
enjoy a cigarette so much.

(laughs)

(scoffs)

- I don't know.

I mean, I know it's gonna
k*ll me, but what the hell.

One of those g*ng-bangers is
probably gonna k*ll me first.

- You're right to quit.

You want one?

- Come on man, what're
you trying to do?

- (laughs) You're right,
you're right, I'm sorry.

Sorry.

So what was your partner like?

- Who Buddy?

- [Dennis] Yeah.

- He was a character.

You know, liked to
play the big sh*t,

order everybody a
round of drinks.

- He was a good partner huh?

- Yeah, he was alright.

A lot of fun to be around.

- You're a better cop.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Buddy was lazy.

I don't know, I guess his
heart wasn't in it anymore.

We just had different
styles of doing police work.

There he is.

- Did Psycho ever
talk about Buddy?

You ever see him with Buddy?

- Spend a lot of time in
the neighborhood with Buddy,

you've seen me, I've seen you.

So come on, let's talk.

- Tsk

- Did Psycho and
Calavero ever talk about

going over to Buddy's place?

- I bet you know a
little trick we pull.

When a home-boy jerks us around.

When we take a
Gangster and mistakenly

put him in a cell full of Lords.

You know that trick?

- What do you want me to say?

- I want to know about
Psycho and Calavaro.

They plan a hit on Buddy?

- Hey man, I don't know
nothin' 'bout no hit.

Psycho and Calavero
were always talkin'.

Hell, man, they was
just jawin' it up

just a couple days ago.

- You saw Calavero?

- Yeah, he's Psycho's dog.

- Hey, Penhall, I'm gonna go
see Harry at the hospital,

you wanna come?

What is it?

- You tell me.

- Look, you think I
wanna be doing this?

- I don't care if you "want"
to be doing this or not.

You turned on one of your own.

What you want me to do?

Pat you on the back?

Hanson is my best friend.

- And your best
friend k*lled a cop.

- That cop was dirty.

You know it.

- Dammit, it doesn't matter
if he was dirty or clean.

Hanson was out for revenge
and he k*lled the guy.

- If he wanted to k*ll that guy,

he would have dropped
him in the house.

- Not fire a warning sh*t
then dive out the window.

- If Hanson fired a
sh*t in the house,

how come forensics
didn't find a b*llet?

- They missed it.

- Yeah that's possible.

- It's happened before.

- But forensics works extra hard

when it's one of
their own, you know.

- Your partner k*lled a cop.

And it doesn't matter
if the cop was dirty.

'Cause Hanson's dirtier.

- Can't find that g*n.

- He probably dumped it.

- Yeah, yeah, he
probably dumped it.

- What is it?

- Keep turning up blanks.

That other g*n, that list.

- What are you saying?

- When I saw Harry
laid up in that bed

with the hoses in his
nose, and the machines,

I wanted to k*ll the
guy who did that to him.

- I didn't k*ll him.

- Couple of days ago,
you said you did.

- Couple of days ago I
didn't know Psycho was there.

- You fired a warning
sh*t in the house?

- Yes.

- Nobody can find that b*llet.

- Well then they missed it.

Because I was in that
house alone with him.

- Now if I can find that b*llet,

I can prove that Psycho
was waitin' outside,

and that he sh*t Tower.

- You can't go
back to that house.

- Well, it's all I got.

- Then I'll go, 'cause if
you get caught there ...

- I wanna get caught.

After I find the b*llet, I
want you to come and bust me.

- What are you talking about?

- I want to make sure you're
cleared as my accomplice.

You tell Fuller you talked
to me, he'll arrange it.

- No, I'm not doing that,
and neither are you.

- Doug, I'm going back there.

Now I'm asking you to be the
one to come and arrest me.

(subdued synthesizer music)

- [Frank] Somebody's here.

- Hanson!

Stop!

(g*nsh*t)

- I combed that house
from top to bottom.

I can't find that b*llet.

- Yeah.

I did everything wrong.

One thing after another, I
let my life go down the tubes.

- You didn't m*rder that guy.

I wouldn't have done
anything differently.

- You would have never
blown a case like this.

- Have you seen your lawyer yet?

- No. Later.

- Well don't worry about that,

you know the union,
they'll get you a good guy.

- Yeah.

- You know, (sighs)

if the prosecution asks
me if you admitted to,

sh**ting Buddy,

I can't perjure myself.

- I would never ask
you to. (laughs)

- How're you doing?

I'm Stuart Tenzer.

How're you doing?

- I've been better.

- Let me get to the good stuff.

Hanson, DA's gonna be
hard-pressed to show causation.

She doesn't have a
m*rder w*apon, alright.

So what we're gonna
do is lay back,

let her make her case,

and then I'm gonna
move for dismissal

based on the weakness
of this evidence.

And her inability to show

that you actually
caused that m*rder.

- What if you don't
get a dismissal?

- Then we're gonna
get self-defense.

- Look, I don't need
fantasies, alright.

I was burglar, I
gave up my rights.

- You put yourself in
a precarious situation.

That doesn't mean you
forfeited your rights.

Everyone had rights,
even burglars.

- [Bailiff] All rise.

The honorable Judge
Warren Briggs presiding.

Be seated.

- Are you prepared with
your opening statement?

- We are, your honor.

- You may proceed.

- Ladies and gentlemen,
this is a simple

straight-forward m*rder case.

I'm not gonna
spend a lot of time

trying to make something very
simple seem very complex.

I'll leave that to
the defense attorney.

In short, the people will
prove that this defendant,

Thomas Hansen,
intentionally, unlawfully,

without justification,
caused the death

of another human being.

What his motives may have
been is not our concern.

We're going to prove
that he went to the house

of his brother
officer, Bud Tower.

That he broke into that house.

That he was surprised in
the act by officer Tower,

and that he then
sh*t and k*lled him.

And that then, despite knowing
he was wanted by the police,

he went into hiding,

showing that he was
conscience of his guilt.

- The b*llet taken from
officer Tower's body

does not match up
with the b*ll*ts

found in the wall
of Mr. Tower's home.

- So it is your expert opinion

that there were two
g*ns fired at Mr. Tower?

- Yes, ma'am.

- And in your expert opinion,

could the fatal b*llet have come

from the g*n found on
the body of Ray Sanchez,

also known as Psycho?

- That's correct.

- Thank you Mr. Morris.

- Officer Farrell, you were
the first officer on the scene.

How many sh*ts did
you hear that evening?

- Well, it's hard to remember,

I would guess around
seen or eight.

- Officer Farrell, would
you describe to the court

how you came upon the scene.

- I was sitting in the
car waiting for Buddy

when I heard a
barrage of g*nf*re.

I jumped out, ran to the house,

and then it seemed
that the noise

was coming behind the house.

I ran back around
and found Buddy

lying on the grass
behind his house.

- Did you see officer
Hanson fleeing the scene?

- No ma'am.

- Thank you officer Farrell.

Your witness.

- Your honor, the defense waives
the right to cross-examine,

however, we would
like to make a motion

outside of the
presence of the jury.

- What is the basis
of your motion?

- Your honor, this case
should not go before a jury.

There is no showing
beyond a reasonable doubt

what b*llet actually
k*lled officer Bud Tower.

We could guess that
there was only two g*ns.

But guessing and the
process of elimination,

that's sheer speculation

on the part of the
District Attorney.

And speculation is not proof.

- The counsel makes
a very good point.

This is not the greatest case

I've ever heard on the
issue of causation.

But nevertheless, it
is the Court's feeling

that it is not up to
the Court to decide

whether the case was proved
beyond a reasonable doubt.

But only whether a jury can find

that it was proved beyond
a reasonable doubt.

Motion is denied.

- Mr. Morris, your
forensics team said that it

discovered b*ll*ts from
three different g*ns

at the scene of the crime.

One from Mr. Bud Tower's g*n.

One from the g*n of Mr. Ray
Sanchez, also known as Psycho.

And one b*llet form the
alleged missing g*n.

Is that correct?

- That's correct.

- Okay.

Now officer Hanson here,

claims that he
fired a warning sh*t

when he entered the house.

Were you able to
retrieve that b*llet?

- No we were not.

- Uh huh.

Did you try?

- Of course.

- Is there a possibility that

you could have
missed the b*llet?

- There's always a possibility.

A b*llet can land anywhere.

- Oh, come on, it's
a little bit more

than just a
possibility isn't it?

In fact, you've had
cases where your b*ll*ts

haven't shown up for
weeks, sometimes months,

after the forensics team left.

Haven't you?

- It's happened.

- Objection, your honor.

We're getting beyond expertise

into sheer speculation
at this point.

- [Judge] Sustained.

- That's all your honor.

Your honor, the
defense's next witness,

Officer Doug Penhall,
has been called away

in the line of duty.

Therefore, we'd like to
call him out of order

after we hear the defendant
Tom Hanson's testimony.

- Officer Hanson,
would you tell the jury

what you were doing in
the house of the deceased?

- I had evidence
that the deceased

was engaged in selling
g*ns illegally to minors.

- You saw him engage
in this activity?

- Yes, I did.

On a number of occasions.

- What did you think you
would find in the house?

- I thought the deceased
was storing g*ns there,

and wanted to be able
to show hard evidence.

- [Stuart] Now when officer
Tower returned to his house

what did you do?

- [Tom] Identified myself
as a police officer.

- [Stuart] And what did he do?

- He started sh**ting at me.

And when he wouldn't stop,
I fired a warning sh*t.

And then I got out of
there as fast as I could.

- Thank you Officer Hanson.

Your witness Miss Sullivan.

- Officer Hanson.

If you saw Officer
Tower running g*ns,

why didn't you just
place him under arrest?

- I wanted to collect
more evidence.

- If you wanted to
collect more evidence,

why didn't you get
a search warrant?

- I didn't --

- You didn't think
you could get one?

- I didn't have time
to get a warrant.

- You were trained
at the academy,

you've been on the
force for three years,

you knew you could get
a telephonic warrant

within minutes.

You were in that house
illegally, weren't you?

- [Stuart] Objection your honor,

the term "illegally"
calls for --

- I will rephrase the
question, counsel.

You knew you were doing
something illegal, didn't you?

- Yes.

- And the name for what you were

doing wrong is
burglary, isn't it?

- Objection!

- Your honor, the
man is an expert,

he knows what a burglary is.

- You may answer the
question Officer Hanson.

- Technically, yes.

- Technically.

- You were going to
burglarize that house

and when Officer Tower came home

and caught you in an act
that could ruin your career,

you aimed your g*n --

- That's not true!

- And you k*lled him.

- [DA] No more questions.

- Your honor, the man
was selling g*ns --

- Officer Hanson
please step down.

- If Penhall testifies

that you confessed
to the k*lling,

we're dead.

- Maybe we shouldn't use him.

- It's all we got.

- You do so solemnly swear,

that the testimony
you're about to give

in the case now
before this court,

shall be the truth,
the whole truth,

and nothing but the
truth, so help you God.

- Yes.

- [Judge] Be seated
in the witness box.

- Officer Penhall.

You were developing an
investigation into g*ng v*olence

with Officer Tom
Hanson, is that correct?

- [Doug] Yes.

- And did officer Hanson tell
you what was on his mind?

Did he discuss the problems
of the investigation with you?

- Yes, he suspected
Officer Tower,

of illegally --

- Objection your honor.

This calls for conclusion
on the part of the witness.

- He's an expert, your honor.

- Yes, but in this case it's
rank hearsay your honor.

- That's a good
point Miss Sullivan.

Objection sustained.

- Would the DA allow
that Officer Penhall

is an expert in police procedure

in the use of deadly
physical force.

- Yes, your honor.

Officer Penhall, you just
heard of a situation described

in which Officer Hanson
had to fire his w*apon

on the night of this incident.

Do you believe that he operated

to the confirmations of
basic police procedure

in the use of deadly
physical force.

- Those regulations are
there to protect the public

as well as the officer.

They say that if
someone fires at you,

you can fire at them.

That's what I wold do.

- How well did you know
officer Tom Hanson?

- Very well.

- When you say very well,

would you describe
that relation for us?

- For a period of three years,

I spent the better part
of every day with him.

I saw him in situations

where ordinary people
would be tempted to lie.

- And would he ever lie
in those situations.

- No, he would never lie.

Thank you Officer Penhall.

- Your witness Miss Sullivan.

- Let's take your points one
at a time, Officer Penhall.

First I think you said, that
Office Hanson's sh**ting

was in conformance with
police department regulations,

and that that's what you
would do, is that correct?

- Correct.

- But burglarizing a home
without a search warrant

is against all police
department regulations isn't it.

- Yes.

- So, you wouldn't
have fired your w*apon

in those circumstances
because you wouldn't

have been there
at all, would you?

- Defense attorney
did not ask me

if I would be there or not.

He merely asked me if
I would fire my w*apon,

and the answer is still yes.

- Officer Hanson would never
tell a lie, is that right?

- That's right.

- But in order to believe that,

we've got to believe
you, don't we?

- Objection.

- Sustained.

- Officer Penhall,
would you ever lie?

- No.

Well, then if you wouldn't lie,

would you tell the court,

is it not a fact,
that your partner

confessed this m*rder to you.

- No, he did not.

- No more questions.

- Because the prosecution
has failed to show,

beyond a reasonable doubt,

that the b*llet fired
by Officer Tom Hanson

was, in fact, the one
that k*lled Bud Tower,

and that the defendant
has shown that any b*llet

that was fired by him was
fired in self-defense,

I'm asking you to bring back
a verdict of not guilty.

Thank you.

(whispering)

- Your honor, I have
a request to be made

outside the presence
of the jury.

- Your honor, we
would like to request

that the jury be instructed
as to the Felony m*rder Rule.

- Oh, no, this is completely
out of order, your honor.

They submitted the instructions

to the jury a long time ago.

- Your honor, we
didn't know what the

defendant was going to testify.

We didn't know what was
going to be brought out.

We didn't know why the officer

was at the scene of the
crime until he, himself,

told us he was there
to commit a burglary.

- Even if Officer
Hanson did not intend

to k*ll Officer Tower,

if this death occurred
during the course

and continuance of a felony
crime, such as burglary,

you must find him
guilty of m*rder.

Regardless of your sentiment.

(dramatic synthesizer music)

- Ladies and
gentlemen of the jury,

have you reached a verdict?

- We have, your honor.

- Will the defendant
please rise.

As to count one in
the information,

we, the jury, find the defendant

guilty of m*rder as charged.
