♪ Oh, say

[crowd cheering]

♪ By the dawn's

♪ early light

[Crowd cheering]

♪ Whose broad stripes

We've got some
difficult days ahead.

But it really doesn't
matter with me now

because I've been
to the mountaintop.

[Crowd cheering]

King: And I don't mind.

Like anybody, I
would like to live...

A long life.

Longevity has its place.

But I'm not concerned
about that now.

I just want to do god's will...

And he has allowed me
to go up to the mountain

and I've looked over...

And I've seen...

The promised land.

I may not get there with you

but I want you to know tonight

that we, as a people

will get to the promised land!

[Crowd cheering]

So I'm happy tonight.

I'm not worried about anything.

I'm not fearing any man.

Mine eyes have seen the
glory of the coming of the lord!

[g*nsh*t]

[Theme music]

[Panting]

[Suppressed g*nsh*t]

[Grunts]

[Suppressed g*nsh*t]

[Suppressed g*nsh*t]

[Panting]

[Grunts]

[Dramatic music]

[Grunts]

[Distant siren blaring]

- [Brakes screeching]
- Man: Look out!

- [Groaning]
- Mister.

- Are you alright?
- [Suppressed g*nshots]

[Grunts]

[Tires squealing]

Moreno: I'm completely serious.
- You can't be serious.

I mean, ebonics is the
biggest joke I ever heard.

No, I take that back.

The joke is that you
actually agree with it.

Look, if it'll help
teachers teach kids...

- Then why not?
- Because it's bull.

Oh, like you're an
authority, Tommy.

What? Do I have to be an
authority to have an opinion?

- Well, you know what they say.
- What is that, Nina?

Little boys with opinions
are like men with Johnsons.

And how so?

Just 'cause they have one,
they expect you to be impressed.

Your fly is open.

[Speaks in foreign language]

Hey, beautiful.

- Hey, beautiful yourself.
- Oh, my.

Yo ed, lieutenant said you could
use some help with the canvass.

Well, we've got plenty
of witnesses to go around.

So, um, what do you got?

Well, blood is from a cab driver

shot with a nine
up from the woods.

No descript on the
sh**ter, though.

Tommy: So where is the cab?

Someone took off
with it, obviously.

So, you guys want to split up?

Word, no dignity.

I'll be over there talking
to some peeps, alright?

- A'ight. Moreno:
He's such a jerk.

Torres: A mind is a
terrible thing to waste.

Now you said you didn't
see who fired this g*n, right?

No. But right before
the cabbie got shot

a white lion jumped
from the rocks...

[Chuckles]

A white lion?

But he was wearing
a suit and tie.

Right. Okay. Anything else?

Yeah. He had bruises on his mug.

But I guess he got even
more now. [Laughing]

What was that? What did you say?

Why do you say he'll
have more... more...

Because the taxi ran him over!

Then the lion got in the cab...

And drove away.

The lion's in the taxi...

- I got to go home now.
- No, no, no, come on.

Let me, let me buy
you a cup of coffee.

Find this white lion, alright?

Watch my house!

What I'm saying is,
it was once a big deal

to integrate the
public school system.

What good is integration if
it doesn't work for everyone?

There is nothing
wrong with finding

creative ways to teach kids.

And I agree, but
nowadays if a kid

doesn't bring a g*n
to school or a teacher...

You guys still hooked on
ebonics. Hey, you, check it out.

Here's some more.

When you're done with those,
look through these, okay?

You're straight?
You need anything?

- Entitlement...
- Entitlement?

I'll get to your
entitlement in a second.

[Phone ringing]

Williams.

Reynolds: They said
you head the investigation

for the park k*lling?

That's correct.

- I have information.
J.C.: Who is this?

The b*llet that k*lled that
guy was meant for me.

Is that a fact?

Reynolds: They chased
me through the park.

They k*lled him by mistake.

I had no choice,
but to take the cab.

Listen, uh, why don't you come
down and let's talk about this?

Reynolds: I'm not
going anywhere.

Okay, no problem.
Uh, I'll come to you.

What's your address?

Reynolds: If I tell you,
you better come alone.

If you don't, you'll
never find me. Deal?

Deal.

Reynolds: 14th
street, the trestle.

[Dial tone]

Hello.

Anybody here?

Drop it!

Drop it! Put it down!

Now!

I assume you're
detective Williams?

And I assume
you're the white lion?

- What?
- It's not important.

I wasn't the only one that
day, detective, carrying a nine.

Alright, I, I believe you.

No, you don't, but you will.

You've been hired
to help me, detective.

My lucky day, huh?

That's a key to a
locker at penn station.

Everything you need is in there.

I'll be in touch with you.

[Camera shutter clicks]

[Camera shutter clicks]

[g*nsh*t]

[Knock on door]

Come in.

[Door opens and closes]

Is he dead?

I'm afraid Reynolds
hasn't surfaced yet.

There's also another problem.

Someone else arrived
to retrieve his package.

Who is this?

Detective Williams, fourth
precinct, New York City.

He was called in to
investigate the sh**t-out.

What do you know about him?

Single, one child,



No passport, no assets.

Ten years on the force,
four as a detective.

Someone we need to eliminate?

Only if he knows
what he's come across.

"If"? I don't believe in taking
chances, agent braddock.

Sir, we need Reynolds as
much as we need that disk.

- Williams is our only lead.
- How will you pursue it?

We have a colonel in the


that can get to him.

Fine.

If he poses a threat,
you know what to do.

Yes, sir.

Agent braddock, remember...

We're protecting our interests.

I know, sir.

[g*nsh*t]

[Phone ringing]

- Hello?
- Did you get the package?

Yeah, I did. It's
right in front of me.

- Now I know I can trust you.
- Why do you say that?

You're in as much
danger as I am.

[Dial tone]

[Knock on door]

[Suspenseful music]

[Sighs]

What the hell are
you doing here?

I just wanted to see my son.

Can I come in?

You won't be needing that.

What do you want?

Nice place.

J.c.: What do you want?

- How you've been?
- What the hell do you want?

I just want to know
if you're alright.

You want to know if I'm alright?

Yes.

Let me tell you how I've been.

When you walked out on
us, I took care of my mother.

I managed to stay
away from drugs.

I graduated from high
school and I became a cop.

So, basically, I've been fine.

I've made something
out of myself

without a father in my life.

Don't you think it's a
little late to show up here

after 17 years and
find out whether

the hell I'm alright or not?

I was hoping we could
put that behind us.

How we supposed to do that?

- Look, son...
- No, no.

Don't you ever call me that.

I can't change the past.

Maybe you want
me to, but I can't.

What you could do is leave.

There's the door.

[Door opening]

- Dad, what's going on?
- G, go back to bed.

Dad? I... I didn't know.

Who's he?

Nobody.

Maybe we can try this
again in another 17 years.

How do you do, young man?

I'm colonel Williams.

Guess I would be
your grandfather.

Is he telling the truth?

G, go back to bed.

I'll explain in the morning.

[Mellow music]

J.c.: Man, when I
was 12 years old...

I spent the whole
day with my pops.

- So on the way home, right?
- Right.

We stop at this
woman's house, right,

some woman I never
even saw before.

Huh, word?

Yeah, so he goes
up in the house,

he does whatever he has to do

and when we leave, he says,
you know, "if your mother asks

you where you were,
don't say anything."

So, as soon as I get home,
who's standing right there?

Ahh!

She says to me,
"where were you?"

So, here I got this choice,

either I lie to her
or I tell, you know,

I say what my father said.

- So you told her.
- Hmm.

Yeah, and she...
All hell broke loose.

It was like world
w*r III up in there.

Clothes flying out the window,
glasses breaking, screaming.

My pops, he goes,
picks up his suitcase...

Torres: Right.

Kisses me on the forehead...

- That was it.
- And he's out?

Gone.

So, what does g
think about all this?

[Sighing]

G, man, he's got a million
and one questions, you know.

Chantal's father died
before he was born

so, up until today he never
even knew he hada grandfather.

Oh, you know, this could
be a good thing, you know.

Having a grandfather again.

I mean, people change, yo.

Ed... the only thing
that's going to change

is this subject, alright?

Alright. Your call.

So, where is this
big lead you got?

Yeah...

The man who our witness
saw run through the park

had me pick this up.

Did you talk to him?

Yeah, I did. Um...

But he said that the cabbie
was not marked, hewas.

Everything else we need
to know is on this disk.

- F.b.i.?
- Mm-hm.

You know, we should
hand this over to them.

Yeah, we could do that.

Nah.

Ha-ha-ha. Let's do this.

[Upbeat music]

Torres: Bernard?

What is this place? A museum?

I mean, what? You
don't have a kitchen?

Where, where's the food?

Bernard: Order some
Chinese food, will you?

- We're in New York.
- Bernard.

Didn't you tell me
you have skills?

What's taking you so long, man?

T... this is, right here,
is definitely a challenge,

but then, again...

Unh! I am the greatest
of all time. Yes!

Okay, "for review
by cjcs and fbisa's."

If I'm not mistaken,
these guys are referring

to the chairman of
the joint chiefs of staff

and f.B.I. Agents.

That's dated march, 1968.

Bernard: Modern technology.

I mean, these files are
all consolidated on disks.

So, what are we looking at?

It seems that
operation "garden plot"

was f.B.I. Directive

to eliminate t*rrorists
on American soil.

Torres: "Containment
of Zorro is imperative."

"Containment" my a*s. These
guys mean "k*ll the b*stard."

Who the hell is Zorro?

Bernard: That's most
likely a code name.

J.c.: Ed, man, do
you want to stay here

with the "greatest of all time"?

I got to pick up my son.

Yeah, well, do your thing, man.

What do I get for doing mything?

You get to keep working

so I don't find something
to bust your a*s.

[School bell ringing]

[Laughing]

Okay, I'm getting an education.

Hey, dad.

- G, get in the car.
Gregory: What's wrong?

Get in the car.

Bye.

What the hell do you
think you're doing?

I didn't mean any harm.

I watched you drop
him off this morning.

Guess I just wanted
to talk to the boy.

You listen to me, if you
want to talk to myson,

you talk to me first, do
you understand that?

That the only tone
of voice you know?

That's right.

Julius Clarence!

I came to town 'cause we
need to talk man-to-man.

Can you handle that?

You're mad at me
'cause I ran out on you,

but I'm here right now.

Right now, Julius Clarence!

Now, you're going to hear
what I have to say or not?

There's a place
called Natalie's.



[Indistinct chatter]

Torres.

Torres!

What, you didn't hear me?

- How's your case coming?
- We're, uh...

We're following
up on a few leads.

Ah, what leads?

Um... well, the
deceased had a history

of yelling at traffic, see?

Oh, no. Just like
everyone else in New York?

Right. Yeah.

Only, he probably
yelled at the wrong guy.

Uh, as soon as I know.

I'll look forward to it.

Torres: J.C.?

J.c.?

- What did you find out?
- Sit down.

Oh, it's like that, huh?

Operation "garden plot"
was set up by the f.B.I.

And the counter
intelligence program.

It was a code
name for destroying

revolutionary
black organizations

such as the black
panthers, s.C.L.C.

Nation of islam...

Are you serious?

It's all in the file, yo.

It's just a matter
of decoding it.

And who's Zorro?

Think about it.

What famous black
leader died in 1968?

You don't mean Dr. King?

Malcolm X died
a few years earlier

and by the k*lling of king,

the movement had to suffer.

Man, I knew hoover
wasn't a fan of his, but...

There was something
else in the file.

There's another disk
that has the names

of everyone involved.

We get that disk

and we'll know for sure.

[Phone ringing]

- Yeah.
- I'm glad to see you're alive.

How'd you get this number?

Reynolds: Man, you really
are out of your league.

Listen, is that disk authentic?

Reynolds: Would they be
trying to k*ll me if it wasn't?

Alright, we need to meet.

- Pick a place.
- Better be careful.

By now, all your
phone lines are tapped

including your cell phone.

Well, what do you suggest?

Remember where we met yesterday?

Yeah, I remember.

Reynolds: Tomorrow, same time.

Alright.

What's up?

He wants to meet tomorrow.

What is this?

Uh, g needs to stay
with you for a few days.

- A case you're working?
- Yeah.

G, let me speak to
your father for a second.

Later, pop.

Alright, man.

- So, where's your cape?
- My cape?

You trying to be
super á♪áá♪, right?

- You must have a cape.
- No, Chantal.

What I'm trying to do is do
my job and protect my son.

You see how it's
your job first, though?

What is your problem?
I mean, what is it?

Do you have something
to do the next few days?

This is not about my plans.

G just told me you
saw your father.

- And?
- And before you go off...

And get yourself smoked

maybe you should
remember what it was like

to grow up without a father.

Chantal, I am
not trying to leave

my son fatherless, okay?

What areyou trying to do?

I don't know.

But this is a case that I
couldn't walk away from.

- And you're sure of that?
- Yes, I'm sure.

Take care of my son.

What are you drinking?

Cranberry juice.

Waitress, can we
get a cranberry juice

over here when you
get a moment, please?

Nice place.

Look, you said you
wanted to talk, right?

Talk.

Yes.

My superiors told me
you're in possession

of confidential files.

As you might imagine,

it's of grave concern to them.

They and I would
feel a lot better

if you turned the
disk over to me

for your own safety.

Wait a minute.

You're mixed up in this?

[Sighing]

No wonder you're here.

Your superiors made you come.

Nobody makes me do anything.

I didn't have to
take this assignment.

Yeah, but the only reason
you're here is because you did.

What do you get for
an assignment like this?

Another medal? A stripe?

A pat on your head?

I don't like what's on that disk

any more than you
do, but like I said

you cannot change the past.

I don't know about any disk.

Listen to me.

Agents knew that Reynolds

stashed the disk in that locker.

They were waiting
for him to pick it up

so they could k*ll him.

When you showed up,
they were thrown off guard.

Look, I've heard enough.

You getting that
through your thick head?

Don't you touch me.

'Cause next time, they'll
know what to do with you.

I can't believe my mother
even wasted tears on you.

And I can't believe
you're still whining about it.

I never even knew my father.

So, what are you
tryin to tell me, huh?

That it makes it okay for
you to walk out on me?

Look, you want to go ahead
and cry about me not being there

for you when you graduated
from high school, go ahead.

But right now, all I give a
damn about, is getting that disk.

I told you, I don't
know about any disk.

You're making a mistake.

When you walked out
on us... I said to myself

that one day I'd be a
bigger man than you.

My only mistake was thinking
that would be a challenge.

- Reynolds?
- You can freeze it there.

Reynolds: Who the hell is this?

J.c.: This is my partner.

Damn it, Williams, we
can't afford to trust anyone.

Look, I didn't ask
to be in this, okay?

But I'm in it. This
man is my partner.

He stays whether
you like it or not.

You going to put that g*n down?

Why don't you tell us
what this is all about.

I heard about some rogue
agents when I was with the bureau.

I decided to investigate.

I stumbled on the garden plot.

Do you know for a fact this
assassination was a conspiracy?

I'll tell you what
I know is a fact.

King was staying
at the Lorraine motel.

Across the street
was a boarding house.

Which is where
ray shot him from.

Yeah, only, according
to eyewitnesses

the room they say ray was in

was rented by another
unidentified man.

And, then, of
course, there's grace.

Grace? Who's that?

She's an elderly woman

who saw a man running with a g*n

after the sh**ting.

But the man she saw wasn't ray?

Not only was it not
him, but she gave

a detailed description
of the man it was.

Then she finds
herself whisked away

to a mental institution
where she eventually dies.

So even if ray
pulled the trigger

he didn't pull
this off by himself.

What about this other disk,
the one that names names?

The f.B.I. Narrowed it
down to one to three names.

Luther Johnson. I
came here to meet him.

He lives in New York.

Then there's a guy
named Randall Greene...

Excuse me,
gentlemen. Do not move.

Unless you want to die.

Who the hell is this?

This is the guy that
tried to sh**t me.

I'm with the f.B.I.

Torres: Oh, yeah? Why
don't you show us your badge.

Man: This is the only
badge you need to see.

Now, drop your
weapons, do it now!

Back away.

What the hell are you doing?

[g*nsh*t]

Me?

You're the one
that m*rder*d him.

[g*nshots]

Alright, y... you got me.

Watch your back! Back up!

- Don't sh**t!
- Back up!

- [Indistinct chatter]
- Now!

- [g*nsh*t]
- Come on! Back up.

Man: Don't sh**t! J.C.: Back up!

Stop! Police!

Torres: We got to go!

Come on, we can do this.

- Don't sh**t.
- Come on, let's go.

Get them. They
shot agent Reynolds.

- [g*nsh*t] Man: Get them!

[g*nshots]

Listen, we gotta chill.

Chill.

Damn it.

They're right behind us.

[Siren blaring]

How the hell did we get
ourselves into this, man?

I don't know, man, but
we're in it now, right?

Why don't we turn ourselves in?

- We can go to Cooper...
- No, ed. No!

It was my g*n that
k*lled Reynolds. Okay?

It's our word
against f.B.I. Agents.

- What if they're not the FBI?
- That's not going to fly.

What if they're
not the f.B.I., man?

Yeah, but what if they are?

Then there's only
one thing to do.

We've got to get
that disk. Come on.

Let's go see Bernard.

Rosanna: Once again,
our top story in the news

the manhunt is on
for two fugitive cops

suspected of k*lling former
f.B.I. Agent Peter Reynolds.

Outside the fourth
precinct in Manhattan

rosanna scotto of fox
news. John, back to you.

Alright, can either one of you
tell me what's going on here?

Honest to god,
lieutenant, I have no idea.

Cooper: Moreno?
- Lieu, I don't know.

Well now, they're considered
armed and dangerous

so I suggest you two go
out there and find them

before some
trigger-happy uniform does.

So any idea where they could be?

- Natalie's?
- No. That's too obvious.

And how about your place?
There's no way they could know,

you and Eddie are
seeing each other.

They'd never put
me in jeopardy that...

Moreno: You want to
watch where you're going?

- Sorry about that.
- Hey, what?

You don't have enough
sidewalk here, you mook.

What's wrong with people, huh?

[Indistinct] Tommy, let's go.

What's up?

Moreno: Are you out of your
mind? If you stay on the run,

somebody's going
to take a shot at you.

Look, if we tell the truth
we'll either gonna end up

in a psychiatric
ward or on death row.

I hate to say it, you
know but they're right.

What were you thinking?

I'm thinking I don't
wanna get shot

and I don't wanna go to prison.

J.c.: That's what I'm thinking.
- This is the plan.

There's a guy named
Luther Johnson. Okay?

This is the address.

We think that he might
have a disk that we need.

Another name was Randall Greene.

Bernard said he found
one right outside the D.C.

Think you can
get us another car?

Yeah, I'll get on it.

There's another thing, my son.

I don't want him worrying.

- I'll take care of it, j.C.
- Thanks.

Tommy: Alright. I'll
check on Johnson.

Think hard, g.

Are you sure you and your father

don't have a
place you like to go

when he needs to relax?

- No.
- Think, g.

I told you, colonel.
I don't know.

Mr. Williams, you
have to stop it.

I'm trying to find
the boy's father.

Yeah, but you don't have
to interrogate him like that.

My son's life is in danger.

Is that so hard to understand?

[Knock on door]

- How're you doing?
- Hey, Chantal.

Did you find them?

Moreno: Not yet,
but... They're alright.

Thank god. Where are they?

This is colonel Williams.

This is j.C.'S father.

- Hello.
- Hello.

So, have you seen them?

Well, look, I can't
tell you too much,

but... I can tell you,
g, your dad is innocent.

And he doesn't
want you to worry.

- Well, is he alright?
- Yeah, he's fine.

- Look, I got to go.
- Wait...

If they're not careful,
they'll be k*lled.

Please, if you have
an idea where...

I'm doing everything
I can to help them.

Damn it! That's
not what I asked!

Where the hell is my boy?!

Mr. Williams, you have to leave.

Now.

[Tense music]

Tommy: Mr. Johnson, I
heard you knew Dr. King.

Johnson: Well, we met
when he came to Memphis

for the sanitation
worker's strike.

- You ever hear of that?
- No, I don't think so.

Oh, I was, what,
uh, 19 at the time...

And I was a member
of this militant group

called "the invaders."

Well, when me and
the rest of the invaders

got a chance to
meet with Dr. King

on the morning of April 4,

we told him... It
was time for action.

I assume he had
something else in mind.

Yeah... non-violence.

And back then, I
thought he was a coward.

Yeah, but it took a lot of
courage to do what he did.

You're damned right it did.

And it'll take a lot of
courage to finger his K*llers.

James Earl ray.

Is that what you believe?

You know, one day I got a call

from somebody who said
he worked for the government

and he had proof
of the conspiracy

and was going to send me a disk.

A couple of weeks later

I heard he was
mysteriously m*rder*d.

What about the disk?

I never got it.

[Clears throat]

Thanks very much for your time.

Times were different

everybody was afraid of change,

even me.

You see, hoover called king

the most dangerous
man in america.

Then he started protesting
the w*r in Vietnam.

He started talking
about empowering

poor people, black andwhite.

You're saying they wanted
him dead because he was

bringing black and
white people together?

They wanted him
dead because he had

the power to bring
them together.

A lot of us were
threatened by that.

As long as he could
be labeled a communist

the f.B.I. Was allowed
to tap his phone...

Use anything they
could to destroy the man.

What about you, Mr. Greene?

Were you one of those people
who wanted to destroy him?

I had every intention to.

Then, on the fourth of
April somebody beat me to it.

I don't know whether
tuckett changed

the plans at the
last minute or what,

but king was considered a
threat to the United States

and above and
beyond anything else

I was being paid to
protect the land of the free

and the home of the brave.

What about that other disk?

Do you have it?

Come on, man.

We took a big risk coming
down here to see you.

They've already k*lled Reynolds

and now they're
trying to k*ll us.

Now, the only way that
we can clear our names

is if we have both disks.

You said times have changed.

Well, have you?

I don't have the other disk.

Torres: Yeah, but
you know who does.

[Sighs]

He'd have to be willing to
place his life in jeopardy.

If he is...

We will deliver the
disk to you in New York.

Look... this is the
number of a pay phone.

We're gonna be
there at 9:00 A.M.

Well, I can't promise
you anything,

but I'll see what I can do.

Alright.

Thank you, sir.

The work has been
extremely sloppy.

Braddock: Yes, sir.

Colonel Williams is of no use
to us in New York anymore.

Have him come back to D.C.

As regards to the two cops

we're still looking
for them, but...

We havefound an
associate of theirs

that we're certain is
willing to cooperate.

Perfect.

I can only ask you
one more time, Bernard.

Where are Williams and torres?

Look, guys... M...
maybe you're looking

for another Bernard, huh?

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

Williams and torres, man.

[Yells]

Come on, Bernard, come on.

Come on, come on, don't cry.

Come on, don't
cry. Be a big boy.

You still got one
good hand left.

That is if you tell us
what we want to know.

They went to D.C. to meet
up with Randall Greene.

Uh-huh. Why?

The other disk...
The other disk.

Yeah? Good. Good.

It's okay. Good, good, good.

Good.

There...

That wasn't so
hard, now, was it?

[g*nsh*t]

Yeah, he, uh, really was
the greatest, wasn't he?

G.

Hi, colonel.

You don't have to call me that.

Call me granddad.

What's wrong?

My mom says I
shouldn't be talking to you.

Oh.

Can't say I blame her.

But I just came by to
say good-bye to you.

Where are you going?

Back to my base in Washington.

Can I ask you something first?

Sure.

Why did you run out
on my father like that?

- It's, it's complicated.
- No.

You mean that you
don't want to say.

I've fought in
hand-to-hand combat

jumped out of
helicopters into blackness,

but I wasn't tough enough to
stick it out with my own family.

I didn't know how to be a
good husband or a good father.

Yeah. So you just left?

That's right and
I'm sorry about it.

But that is the truth.

Didn't you miss him?

Sometimes.

Most of the time I tried to
forget that I even had a son.

Did it work?

No.

No, it never did.

Well, I got to go.

It was a pleasure
meeting you, g.

You take care.

[Mellow music]

Colonel.

Bye, granddad.

[g*nsh*t]

Alright. That's enough.

We once talked
about having power.

Enough power to make
this country a place

the entire world would admire.

Iwas the one who wanted a place

that the world could admire.

You... the only one...

Talked about power.

You know what I'll do to you

if you don't tell me
where to find the cops.

[Laughs]

You're going to do it anyway.

Oh, I'm not worried
about anything.

I'm not fearing any man.

"Mine eyes have seen the
glory of the coming of the lord."

Remember that?

Sir? I found something.

A New York phone number.



[Phone rings]

- Yeah?
- Is this detective Williams?

- Yeah. Who's this?
- I'm a friend of Greene's.

You got the disk?

Braddock: I have one of
them. You got the other one?

J.c.: Yeah, but...

Well, I need to retrieve
some info from it.

We could make two copies.

No, no, no. Time is not a
luxury we have now, alright?

Braddock: I have
to catch a plane.

You know soldiers memorial park?

- 90th and riverside?
- Yeah.

Braddock: I'll be
there in four hours.

Alright. We'll meet you.

[g*nshots]

Detective Williams?

Who the hell are you?

My name's irrelevant.

Greene put me up to speed.

You have the disk?

- Do you have the first one?
- Yeah, I got it.

Well, let me see it.

I mean, it's the only
way I'm going to know

you're who you say you are.

It's funny. I feel the same way.

You first.

Let's go. The disk!

Now!

Freeze!

Don't move!

[g*nshots]

Freeze!

Hey, don't make me
mess up that nice suit, now.

Drop the g*n, please.

I won't ask you again!

Thank you.

[g*nsh*t]

Ed?!

Don't make me ask you
again, detective Williams.

Alright. k*ll him.

Not a problem.

[g*nshots]

You alright?

My partner.

Ed!

[Grunt]

[Moaning]

God bless your vest, man.

I knew hanging with
you would get me shot.

Yeah.

- [Grunts]
- You alright?

What happened to
the agents? Huh?

My father took care of them.

Colonel Williams.

You make one hell
of a first impression.

Followed them here.

Figured they'd be the
ones to find you first.

You'd better go.

What about you? What
are you going to do?

I've got so many
documented secrets

they can't hurt me
even if they wanted to.

Can't promise that
I'll find the other disk,

but I'll make sure
the truth leaks.

Whatever I have to
do to clear your names.

Am I going to see you again?

I'll call.

[Mellow music]

Torres: Come on. We got to go.

Thanks.

I love you.

[Mellow music]

I wouldn't take my own life

but I would
willingly give my life

for that which I think is right.

And, uh, I am
convinced that, uh,

when one does this honestly,

uh, that death can
have a redemptive value.

Rosanna: The two
fugitive detectives

initially suspected of
k*lling an f.B.I. Agent

have been cleared
and are expected to

return to their jobs.

In other news, James Earl ray

who was convicted of murdering

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,

has been granted a new hearing.

This is partly due to new
and startling evidence

implying a conspiracy.

Mr. Ray's attorney
received this evidence

from an anonymous
source. In his words...

"My source tells me he
wants the truth to come out

"because you cannot
change the past,

but you can try
to make it right."

Rosanna scotto, fox
news. John, back to you.

Do you think he's
ever coming back?

I don't know.
