Will Trent

Previously on Will Trent...

Are you okay?

I called Jeremy a few times. He's not picking up.

This bag's going to a friend of the label.

It needs to get there tonight.

-Trent. -I really need your help.

I'm getting arrested.

This kid was transporting a duffel bag full of meth.

This young man is my confidential informant.

This stays between us.

Just us.

Agent Trent.

Agent Trent?

Your sidearm.

Were you topped off?

I know you're familiar with the Miranda waiver,

but you should read this over carefully before signing.

Or I could go over it with you.

It's just so you have a full understanding of your rights.

Okay, okay. Uh...

You'll have 24 hours to provide a statement for this criminal investigation.

You're required to answer all questions truthfully.

Failing to comply could lead to disciplinary action...

...termination, criminal and/or civil charges.

Do you hear that?

Special Agent, do you understand your rights?

I do.

When you think you're ready,

I'm sure your lawyer will wanna have time to prepare your statement.

Um...

I don't need a lawyer.

Listen, I've gotten four calls about this already.

The mayor's office, the chief,

they want this buttoned up fast.

But you do have rights. So use your rep.

Hey, you could go to jail.

Get a lawyer.

What a nightmare. - Oh, God.

Stop!

-Paco, stop! -What are we even doing?

- Paco, what are we really doing? - -Paco!

I'll go around!

Paco, stop! You're making it worse.

Move!

Show me your hands.

-Lemme see your hands! -I didn't do nothing!

- On your stomach. Hands behind your back.

All this for a little routine warrant, huh, Paco?

Was it worth it? You just added obstruction and attempted murder

on those charges.

Help!

Help!

Don't move.

-What is it? -We were just here playing video games,

-then he got shot. -What?

It hurts.

No. No. No, no, no, no, no.

-Hey. -Is he gonna be okay?

Let me see. Let me see.

You're gonna be okay.

Oh, God...

Oh, my God.

-We need EMS now. -What happened?

I shot him.

What I need you to do is slow down. Each of you.

-Prioritize exactly what needs to be done. -Yes, ma'am.

I have a team preparing the press release so we can get in front of this early.

Good. Nothing comes out of this office unless I sign off on it.

-You hear? -Yes.

Thank you. Next?

City hall requested hourly updates and some background on the agent.

Does he have a history of complaints?

Agent Trent's record is unimpeachable.

Heller said you don't want an attorney.

Will, you are in it.

Right now, you're just underwater. Believe me.

I know.

You're not thinking of yourself.

You need someone who'll do that.

Just leaving.

Will, if she's offering help, take it.

I'm taking some personal days to formally recuse myself from this case.

I'm here in an unofficial nonwork capacity as your adviser, as a friend.

That's not necessary.

Oh, it absolutely is.

When's the last time you had a drink?

-Uh... I don't drink. -How many hours did you sleep

the night before the incident?

I-I...

-Financial issues? -I don't know. What is--

Problems with ex-girlfriends? Stressed at work?

-I wasn't compromised. -That's irrelevant.

It doesn't matter what happened.

What matters is what appears to have happened.

You are going to have to account for the last 24 hours.

Your emotions, your actions. Were you tired? On edge?

Odessa Shaw is taking point on this investigation.

-You know her? -No.

She's the lead investigator on all officer-involved shootings.

She is sharp, meticulous.

And if she catches a whiff of inconsistency in your story,

she will send you to prison.

Where do we start?

At the beginning.

Twenty-four hours ago.

Talk me through what you were doing, hour by hour.

Who you were with, what you were feeling.

I was teaching you how to cook.

You were not doing very well.

Yeah, I'm a real disappointment to my mom.

You finished burning the rice, and we headed over to Faith's and Ormewood's.

Baby, names, titles, times.

Right.

We went over to Agent Mitchell and Detective Ormewood's residence for dinner.

Hurry up, Trent. We only have 40 seconds.

-You're rushing me. -No, no talking.

Okay, okay, okay. I see three... three... What are those, cats?

Is it... Is it ménage à trois? Ménage à trois!

-Category's music. -Oh, I know what this is.

-No. You two are not allowed to talk. -Is it a trio?

Is it, uh... Oh, it's, uh, Wilson Phillips?

-What? -Oh, oh, okay, TLC?

No, no, no, no.

Okay. What are those, flies?

Are they dead? Dead dogs?

What... D-Dead...

-Yeah? Dead dogs? -What?

-You are so close. -Three dead dogs.

-Three dead dogs! -Oh, time!

Everybody knows it but you, Ormewood! Three dead dogs? I love it.

Three Dog Night.

-Oh, stars. Okay, I get it now. -Yeah. I want pie. Anybody want some?

-No. -Yes, I will come help you.

-Mitchell, you want another beer? -Yeah, sure.

I don't have to drive because I have to live here.

You get to live here. - Mm-mmm. Mm-mmm.

Mmm. Mmm. Will, your phone's...

Why is Jeremy calling you?

You gonna pick it up? My son's calling you.

Hey, Jeremy, what's up?

Jeremy, it is your mother.

Why are you calling Will when you haven't answered my calls?

You wanna explain that to me? What the hell is going on?

Will? Will.

You were telling me about that night.

You and Faith were having an argument.

That was private.

Will, you don't have any privacy.

Do you know what's going on right now? Preliminary interviews.

If Faith says something in her statement that doesn't line up...

You guys had an argument.

Tell me what happened.

I need a break.

-Will-- -I just need a minute.

How dare you! That is my son! Who the hell do you think you are?

He was going to go to prison.

He had a duffel bag full of meth. That's 20 years.

I saw a way to help him. It was the only option, and I did it.

So you make him your CI, to go poking around

so he can get killed by Rafael's guys?

That was not your call to make, Will.

Hey, is everything all right out here?

Yeah. Everything's all right.

We should go.

-Faith-- -I'm about to give my statement.

And we are going to keep my son out of this report.

-I can't lie in there. -Why? You've been lying to me for weeks.

-I'm sorry. -Too late.

These statements get leaked all the time. Names, home addresses.

You know exactly what happens to a CI when they get made.

What happened today...

You keep my son's name out of that report.

Okay, so we were talking about the argument you and Faith had.

There was no argument.

You two didn't fight?

-No. -The fight I walked in on?

There was no fight.

-Will-- -There was no fight!

Okay? It didn't happen.

Can we please move on?

Sure, we can move on.

Let the record show that present for the interview

are Special Agent Faith Mitchell and her union representative...

Captain Dennis Heller, ID badge number 37250.

The witness has been advised of her constitutional rights

against self-incrimination

and is willing to speak with investigators

at this time.

Do you agree that any statement will be answered fully

and to the best of your recollection?

I do. I'm sorry, just one moment.

I need to eat something while we're doing this.

That's right, you're diabetic.

-Did you have breakfast this morning? -Yes.

What did you have?

Are these really the questions we're asking right now?

My job is to assess whether you were fully alert,

in control,

and took every available precaution before you or Agent Trent

drew your weapon in a crowded building during peak hours.
