Andre Murray confessed to me before he died.

He confessed to me on his deathbed.

Detective Joe Geddes

Witnessed the confession.

We worked the case together.

Asshole.

Andre Murray confessed and gave up his accomplice Benjamin Cole.

Benjamin Cole tortured and killed Elizabeth Cooper.

Lady Belle.

She was 14 years old.

Snatched her a block back. Gratiot and Rosemary.

Right off the damn curb.

Waiting at the crosswalk for the light.

- I know the story. - Family figured she ran away,

So never reported her missing.

Gave 'em more time to neglect the other three, I guess.

This you telling me I got it good.

Some kind of sick wisdom there.

If they go,

Let 'em be gone.

Can't raise a family in a ruined city.

Leave it to the dogs.

The dogs and the dispossessed.

Hey, this is me

Reflecting on how good I have it.

You. Here.

Cable, I need you to set up a firewall.

I want you to tell me who visits a site. Anyone from the 313.

Cam-house has thousands of members, Frank. Gets a ton of traffic.

Agnew: Okay, I'll give you an IP address.

Track that. Tell me if it hits the cam-house.

- Whose is it? - It's 316 -235-1279. You got it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who am I ghosting, Frank?

Just track it.

Man: See if you can get it as close as you can.

Get that porch roof in first.

Then we'll see how much room we got left.

Yeah, like that.

There goes the neighborhood.

Tim.

- Good morning. You good? - Good and ready.

Yeah, you are. Now, listen,

I'm gonna break down your stats for the jury. Build your ass up,

Then walk 'em through the case like they're children.

- I'm prepped. - Couple of days on the stand, minimum.

Now, Pierce is gonna work you on the cross.

I know Pierce.

- Where's Joe Geddes? - He's up after you.

Is he in for the long haul?

He's corroborating your testimony, Frank.

He's here as long as you are.

Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth

And nothing but the truth, so help you god?

So help me god.

"hustlin'" plays

Agnew: A park ranger on Belle Isle called in the body.

He was leading a field trip, fourth graders out of Merrill Elementary.

Children found the remains.

Ranger told them it was a deer.

Once on scene, detective, what did you notice about the body?

As we exhumed, it became clear from her clothes that it was a girl.

- What was the state of the body? - Multiple fractures, partial burns,

- One eye was missing. - Did an animal take the eye?

Objection. Leading.

Curtright: Let me rephrase.

How did you believe she lost her eye?

- It was removed with a tool. - Objection.

Does the detective moonlight as a medical examiner?

A knife was buried with the body, counselor.

There were marks around the orbit of the eye.

The medical examiner later matched the blade to the marks.

Well, I look forward to the medical examiner's testimony, thank you.

- You're welcome. - Your honor?

Objection sustained. Move along.

What did the condition of the body suggest, detective?

The girl suffered a violent end.

No tears yet, but juror number five got misty.

- Nice work, Frankie. - Don't call me Frankie.

It's two hours. Back at three.

Agnew.

What?

Drop me? Gotta get myself right.

No. I'm due back in court.

You're jamming me up here.

Yeah, so drop me, man. You don't gotta babysit my ass.

Exactly what I gotta do. I fronted your bail.

I'm your keeper till you appear before the judge.

No, not necessary, man. Not necessary.

You know, I'm gonna die from tooth decay, man.

Come on, I gotta get some medicine up in me.

I got something at home.

Nah, just swing me by the corridor.

No, you'll jackrabbit.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Frank.

Sorry for putting you out.

I am.

Yeah, I wanted to see 'em leave school, you know, that's it.

Like a parent.

Cops got you assaulting a crossing guard. How did that go down?

Yeah, I bumped him.

Was a little bitch-ass bitch.

Guy thought I was a pervert.

Come on.

I'm fine.

- What did you say you were? - Their father.

The kids hear you claim them?

What, you think the old man's just gonna give you a free pass?

We're all marked.

Doubt Skelos even knows my name.

We're all in this together, Steven.

- Greektown's ready for us. - You ain't next in line, man.

The only one who can run Greektown after Skelos is lowdown--

Yo, Steve, hear him out, man.

The reverend ain't got the right skin.

The Greek, the rev-- Damon, you cooked on both sides of the fence, man.

Then why are you here?

Do right by Michael's family.

If there's money to be had, I want to hand something to his next-of.

Stevie, there's no money.

There's nothing unless we clip Skelos.

So are you in?

Nah.

- Thanks for coming. - What happened?

Nothing yet.

We need you.

Geddes: Why the hell do I have a tail?

Dawson: How the hell do I know? I'm running my shop.

I don't need to get mixed up in all your trouble.

Boyd takes me down, you're next.

No, it don't work that way.

Derek Goslin. Marvin Shaw.

- What's this? - Germaine Tate.

Angela Tate. That one went down as a murder-suicide.

- What? - These are suicides that you signed off on.

And all of them were suspect murders that

The me turned to self-kills.

Only in Detroit.

Only in this godforsaken, firebombed hellhole.

I signed off to hide the bad work that Brendan done.

But you signed off for what? To cover your clearance stats?

I signed off because I trusted you, you sociopath son of a bitch!

Should have cuffed you to a car.

Let the river eels gnaw your ass.

You'll suffer for it, no matter.

This-- this mars you.

But, hey, we can survive it.

We just need a course correction.

First-- first you gotta back Dani off

Of Damon Callis for the murder of Billy Hobson.

What for? Hobson connects Bobek. Bobek connects Brendan.

- That was your whole damn dance for the mayor. - Yeah.

You walked in there, that was you whole damn dance.

- You... - Yeah.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

If you knock down the piedmont--

Which they keep threatening to do--

Knock down the piedmont, you can see the river.

- Get in, get in. - It hurts, man.

It hurts me, man, everywhere.

I gotta get this rot outta me.

I told you to see a dentist.

I gotta get back to court. I'm bailing your ass out.

Yeah, you coulda just dropped me, Frank.

I'll make you some food.

No, I can't even move my mouth to chew, man.

I can't even swallow.

All right, I'll do something for the pain.

Yeah, something.

Yeah, something. Yeah, Frank, do something.

Do something-- whoa, whoa.

What are you doing? No. Not like that.

You know what? Here, look. Ah!

What are you doing, Frank? What the hell, man?

Get back-- get back here and listen to me.

Stop-- stop squirming. Listen, listen.

- Okay, okay, okay. - You're infected, okay?

We have to get that out of your head, otherwise you're gonna die

Because you have a septic infection. Do you understand me?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Jeez.

- Okay. - Okay, okay.

- What are you doing? - Get down, hold on to something.

- I got it. I got it. - Do it. Do it, Frank.

- Just do it. ( screaming ) - hold on to something.

- ( screaming ) - hold on to something.

- Here we go. - ( continues screaming )

Got it.

There she is.

Dawson's pushing me off Damon.

He wants me chasing Michael Drake.

Drake's valid.

Since when?

You know it's Damon.

I don't know.

Damon killed Billy Hobson, you know that.

No, I don't.

Callis would be in lockup now if it weren't for Joe losing it.
