Is that true? Is it true? This is my place.
I get to decide who comes in,who doesn't.
What do you got against our friend donnie? I mean what's wrong with a guy who wants to sit at a bar and have a quiet conversation? I don't like him doing business in my place.
He's welcome to do it someplace else.
You're messing with our business.
And when you mess with our business,we mess with yours.
Bar owner: what're you doing? No,don't! Please! Oh,you sons of bitches! Language! This is a family establishment.
Come on,guys! Let's talk this over! Please.
He's the local dealer.
Stop! You have to get down here.
The gatto nero.
College street.
Stop! You don't need to do that,guys! Stop! Bastards! Don't touch that! Don't touch that.
No.
It belonged to my wife.
What do you think,vince? - Nice! - Crystal.

Copy,copy.
Command truck's on its way.
First responder?Talk to me fast,officer.
We've got two males,baseball bats and a handgun,start tearing the place apart.
A patron jumps in,the gun discharges,everybody runs.
Whose gun? The guys wrecking the bar.
- You get a description? - Yup.
Mid-20s,long coats.
One's 6'4" with dreadlocks,injury on the right arm.
The other's a small build,jeans,black t-shirt.
No word on the good samaritan.
The good samaritan? - That's what the owner called him.
- Thanks,officer.
Sam,you get those descriptions? Yeah.
Well,we're right behind them.
- We move fast - We can bring 'em in.
Okay,we work a grid.
Wordy,you are alpha with me.
We will work north and south.
Sam,leah,bravo,east and west.
Let's move it.
Jules,let's see what we can find out.
Do you know why these men would be targeting your place? They're drug dealers.
I threw out one of their friends last night.
You stood up to them.
This is what it got me.
You know the men who did this? Leon is the little one.
Vince is the big one.
That's all i know.
And who's the man who attacked them? He didn't attack them.
He chased them out.
I didn't get a look at him.
Did he take his handgun? Two against one.
I'm just wondering how he managed to chase them out? Yeah,he had the gun.
It's sick.
What are you talking about? I grew up here.
I didn't know that.
Used to be kids in the streets all hours,hide and seek,people outside on their patios.
You sitting on the back of a pickup,strummin' your first guitar.
I just hate to see what's happened.
I hear you,wordy,but you gotta talk to city hall.
There were a lot more cops on the street back then.
Team one,turns out our good samaritan is armed.
Got i.
D.
? Not yet,but he may be going after the same target as you.
So what?We've got some citizen trying to be a vigilante? Looks that way.
- Vigilante? - What would you call him? Some guys try to intimidate a local businessman,and this guy steps up,fights back I'd call him a good citizen.
A good citizen in pursuit with a firearm.
It's okay,it's okay.
How you doing,leon? I'm good.
How about you? Proud of yourself?You get a rush out of what you did? Huh? Takes a big man to bust up someone's place,someone's treasures; pieces of a life that they actually worked for.
Takes a real big man.
What do you want?You just tell me what you want.
So you got no idea what he looks like - tall,short,heavyset,blond,brunette Stop me here.
No? Nothing's coming to you? Everything happened really fast.
You got a pretty good look at the other two guys.
Alphonse,look,i realize he did you a favour.
But he chased two men out of here with a loaded weapon,and we'd like to help him before he gets in too deep.
I never saw him before.
- You sure about that? - Absolutely.
What about you,ma'am?Do you remember anything? I just I was in the back here.
I didn't see the guy at all.
Ed,uniforms called in a man in dreads in a long coat running south on parliament street.
Dreadlocks,three o'clock! In pursuit on foot,corner of montrose and college.
Ed,right there!Stay there!Right now! Do not move! Do not move! Give me your hands!Let me see your hands! Let me see your hands! You got any weapons?!Get up! It's dislocated.
- What's your name? - What's your name?! What's up,eddie? Boss,we got one of the dealers.
The name he gave is vince packer.
Okay,spike,see if you can get anything on a vince packer.
On it,boss.
Parker: look for any connections to someone named leon.
Our friend vince denies vandalizing "the gatto nero" or knowing anyone named leon.
Apparently he dislocated his shoulder playing hockey this morning,in a neighbourhood that lost its rink five years ago.
Ed,your guy vince? He gets busted a lot for such a good athlete.
Possession,assault And look at this - last time he went down,he went down with fellow athlete leon weeks.
Where can we find mr.
Weeks? If he's headed home,he's right in the neighborhood.
Two blocks from us.
We're on it.
Shots fired!Alley west of clouster! On it.
Sam,this guy's really a mess.
Winnie,we need an ambulance.
Bad news,boss.
The vigilante has kicked it up a notch.
Presents YTET- °îµÂÖí Åùè±´±´ Point Season 3Episode 08 Winnie,where's that ambulance? Sending emt's to your gps location now.
Talk to me,sam.
The subject from the bar has been shot.
Bullet wounds in both legs.
It's nasty,but it's not life-threatening.
Looks like he was carrying some cocaine.
This is circumstantial! You're leon weeks,right? I want a lawyer.
I know my rights.
We're not here about the drugs.
Oh,yeah.
Right.
I know how this works.
You're gonna plant some drugs,then you're gonna try and pin it on me.
Leon,we just wanna know who shot you.
That's all.
Cooper.
Robert cooper.
Thanks,leon,we've got the spelling.
Spike,you copy that? Get right back to ya.
Robert cooper.
- What?You know him? - Not well.
My dad and i used to hang out at his dad's hardware store all the time.
Robert cooper's taking this pretty personally,leon.
Was there something here you want to tell me,like why he'd want to shoot you? The guy's a wacko.
He's out of control.
You gotta stop him,okay? Maybe cooper's not fond of people in your line of work.
I said this is circumstantial.
Guys,listen to this.
"a west end neighbourhood sentinel association won a court battle which would have the imperial arms apartments torn down.
President and local businessman,robert cooper, said 'the association has dealt a body blow to the drug dealers trying to take over our neighbourhood.
'" From community activist to vigilante.
I'm sending you a picture of him right now.
Alphonse You know it's illegal to lie to the police,right? Robert cooper was your good samaritan.
Now how do you not recognize the president of your neighborhood sentinel? I didn't want to get him in trouble.
- He just shot a man.
- Oh my god.
Yeah,might not have happened if you had given us a straight answer.
Alphonse,we need to bring him in here before he hurts anybody else.
You got an address,a phone number?Anything you got.
I don't know where he's living.
You'll have to ask his wife.
So what's her name? Patty cooper.
Let's get her down here,jules.
Leon,we need to talk to you about your crew,buddy.
I don't know What crew? Cooper's declared war.
You think he's gonna stop with you? Leon: he wanted me to give up names and addresses for the guys i work with - the top guys.
Did you tell him? I don't know the top guys.
I only talk to torres.
- Torres? - John torres.
He's the middle guy.
That's all i know.
That's all i told him.
All right,let's see what we can find out about this torres.
You think he's gonna go after every dealer in the area? That could take a while in this neighbourhood.
Sorry,leah,what about this neighbourhood? When i was a firefighter i took a lot of drug-related calls,especially in this neighbourhood.
But bobby doesn't own a gun.
It appears he took it from one of the men that he assaulted this morning.
We believe robert's been hunting down a local gang of drug dealers.
Did you know that he was planning on doing something like that? No.
No.
God,no.
I would have called the police immediately.
Well,we need to know what made him do this.
Can you tell us about his state of mind lately? He's angry About what happened to the neighbourhood,about what happened to his brother.
His brother? Jimmy.
He's He's younger.
They never really had an easy time.
Their mom died a long time ago,so it was just bobby and jimmy and their dad - they were close - and then me.
For a few years,we ran the store together.
We were happy.
We were good.
What happened? Their dad died And jimmy started using.
Jimmy became an addict? Not overnight.
It was a long slide down.
We lost the jimmy that we loved.
We tried to help him.
We did the best we could.
Jimmy.
Hey,how're you guys doing?What can i get ya? I just got a call from gordie.
Where the hell were you? Aw,jeez.
Man,3:30.
you told me you wanted to work in the dealership.
- I put my neck on the line,i get the job for you - Okay,enough.
I get the message loud and clear.
I let you down Again.
Where are you going? I'm gonna go meet some friends.
Cooper: hey,i know who you mean,and those guys are not your friends.
Now you're gonna tell me who my friends are? Get the hell off me.
You're not their friend,jimmy,okay? You're just business to them.
You son of a bitch,just let go.
No,no.
Hey,listen to me,all right? I am not gonna let them suck the life out of you.
Let me go.
Just let Go! If you walk out of that door,i am done with you.
I didn't mean that.
- I'm gonna go.
- I know.
- Bobby! - No.
Jimmy! He's not gonna give up looking for him.
When was the last time you two spoke? When he ran after jimmy about two days ago.
Do you mind me asking why he left? Losing the store,losing jimmy I mean he's a good guy.
He's lost.
It's just eating him up.
Just uh Hold on a second.
Okay,team,new deal.
Robert cooper's got a little brother,jimmy.
Jimmy got hooked with the local dealers And now robert's trying to track them down.
So,it's personal.
Yeah,it's starting to look that way.
Boss,i did a credit card search on cooper.
Good work,spike.
Whatchya got? I got an address.
He just moved into a by-the-week rooming house.
Team one,seconds away.
I'm gonna apologize to wordy.
He's got a real connection to this place.
I didn't need to push.
Word of advice for the rookie from the last one? When i joined the team i made a lot of mistakes,i did my share of apologizing.
But the one thing i never had to apologize for was speaking my mind.
You see something you think affects the call, like your general impression of a neighbourhood based on professional experience,you say it.
What's up? You tell me.
Uh,i don't know,you know,busy Workin'.
I'm coming out of my house this morning and two high-ranking security agents want to take me out for coffee.
Oh That.
Yeah,that.
And they wanna talk to me about you.
It's not what you think.
- No? - No.
Okay.
We'll pick this up later,all right? Second floor,end of the hall.
Wordy,you're alpha with me.
Sam,leah - bravo.
Let's do it.
Police,freeze! Police! Police! Clear.
Boss,cooper's not here.
Thanks,eddie.
All right.
The neighbourhood sentinel seemed like they were getting somewhere,so why would robert do something like this? Things started turning bad when the family business burnt down.
The hardware store?When was that? A few weeks ago.
Bobby was sure it was the drug dealers out to get him.
What?Because the sentinel had closed down one of their buildings? Yeah,retaliation.
The family store meant a lot to him.
But,you know,he didn't talk about his feelings.
But he was taking it pretty hard.
Well,he hated feeling helpless.
He became obsessed with fixing things,like his dad.
It was all about fixing things.
But this wasn't something that he could fix and he wouldn't talk about it,not even patty.
After a few weeks,he just He lost it.
So he left his wife,moved in here.
Pictures of his family; that's a good sign.
Used to go to that store every halloween.
Old man cooper really went all out.
It's a shame that place is gone.
All right.
Boss,i found cooper's brother.
That's good.
How soon can we get him here? He's not going anywhere.
- Why not? - He's in the morgue.
Jimmy cooper o.
D.
'D early this morning.
Who found jimmy cooper's body? Dispatch said it was an anonymous 911 call.
Someone saw him having a seizure right in the middle of the street.
At least someone cared enough to call it in.
Think cooper knows his brother died? If he does,it could have been the trigger.
I'm gonna talk to the paramedics involved.
I guess i go tell patty.
Spike,i've got some friends at "guns and gangs.
" see if you can get some intel on john torres.
The middle man.
Copy.
All right,we find torres,maybe we'll find cooper.
So,michaelangelo,international man of mystery.
- He told you? - Yeah.
He's not happy.
He doesn't like to see the family break up.
Tell me about it.
- But he's proud of you.
- Really? Federal agency seeks you out?That's a big deal.
Yeah? Y- eah.
- Yeah.
Thanks,jules.
So,is this the guy from last night? Yeah,that was him.
Came running over when he saw us working on his brother.
He totally freaked out.
So was the brother still alive when cooper got to him? He was circling the drain,but cooper wouldn't give up on him.
Clear! Charge to 360.
and clear! Come on,jimmy.
Come on,jimmy,stay with me.
Stay with me,buddy,come on.
Come on.
I'm sorry,he's gone.
No,no he's not.
Keep trying! -I'm sorry.
-No! Come on,jimmy.
I'm sorry,sir,you have to let him go.
No! Come on,jimmy.
Jimmy!Jimmy,please! No!No,he's not some junkie! He's my brother! He's my brother! it's too late,sir.
I'm sorry.
No! Jimmy Thanks,guys.
Seeing your kid brother die right in front of you So he's upset about his brother's death,and blames it on the people who sold him drugs.
And now he's out for blood.
Guys,that middle man leon mentioned,john torres, his name comes up in connection with the steele brothers.
The steele brothers.
I've heard that name before.
Yeah,real up and comers.
They allegedly run the coke trade this end of town.
Why allegedly? Drug squad's been building a file.
The steele brothers,they come from money.
Mom and dad disowned them,but not before grady used daddy's money to buy into the trade big time.
Looks like his kid brother dru got into the business,too.
They got money,they move around.
Yeah,and the cops have never been able to touch 'em.
I guess they keep a pretty low profile.
They're most likely cooper's number one target.
So we'd better find them before cooper does.
We got an address on the steele brothers? No last known.
Like i said,they move around.
But what i do have is a lead on their middle man,john torres.
I'm sending you photos.
Torres does business out of a blue panel van with spoke rims.
Perfect mobile office.
Normally trolls the area between bloor and gerrard.
Spike,let's access city traffic cameras,help us narrow down the search.
On it.
Okay,guys,let's work the grid.
Let's go.
-Problem? -No problem.
Anyone have eyes? Negative.
Still looking.
Wordy,you got something to say,spit it out.
We protect drug dealers now? We keep the peace.
If that includes stopping some guy from shooting up a bunch of drug dealers, then,yeah,that's what we do.
Great,so,when we catch up to him and he doesn't share our feelings about civic order We make him listen.
And if he doesn't listen,and it's down to him or the drug dealer? Wordy? Yeah,leah.
When bullets start flying,they don't just hit drug dealers.
Wordy,we protect everybody,all right? We protect the families,and,yeah,we protect the dealers.
And we protect cooper.
I mean who do you think's gonna be more familiar with the use of firearms? All right,we got three vans matching the description in your vicinity.
Someone reported music blaring from a blue panel van parked behind wayne's tavern.
Uni in the area confirmed the van had spoke rims.
I'm betting that's our guy.
Team one,move in! The cab's empty.
Check the back.
I can't see in.
The door's locked.
Mr.
Torres,this is the police! Please exit your vehicle! Can't hear anything over that music,eddie! Wordy,let's go!Let's go! Stack it up.
Police! Looks like cooper beat us here.
He's been shot in the stomach.
Winnie,we need an emt here immediately.
Copy that.
Never thought i'd be So happy to see the cops.
Did cooper do this to you? How long ago? Don't know! Half hour,maybe.
Let me guess: he was looking for the steele brothers.
Did you tell him where they're at? No choice! What's the address?! Mr.
Torres,i know you don't want to give up your bosses, but unless you tell us where they are,robert cooper gonna kill 'em.
The steele brothers can handle cooper.
He got the drop on you,didn't he? The emt's are here, but they won't treat you 'til we give them the all clear.
Aynes.
Thank you.
We got an address.
Let's go! Let the emt's through! Patty,it's me.
Oh,bobby,thank god! Are you okay? Winnie,put a trace on patty cooper's cell phone.
I'm on it.
Listen,i heard about jimmy.
I am so sorry! Please,bobby,just come home! Patty,listen to me Bobby,you're scaring me! Please come home! There's something i've gotta do.
It's,it's nearly over.
Bobby,you're scaring me!Okay? Just come home! And no matter what happens i need No matter what happens,i need you to know that i love you.
Where are you?! I'll come get you! Bobby? Oh,bobby! He's gone.
Sorry,jules,i didn't get it.
Sarge,cooper contacted his wife.
You get a lock on his location? No,it was too quick.
But he said that he needed to do something and that he loves her.
Either way,he knows it's not gonna end well.
What the hell's going on here? The cops are all over torres,and not just regular cops.
Swat.
Torres is not gonna talk.
I don't wanna go to jail,man.
No one is going to jail.
We need to clear the supply and lay low for a while.
Just Just 'til the dust settles.
Hey,listen! The cops are always gonna be after us,dru.
The trick is not to panic.
When you panic,you make mistakes.
I don't know,man.
Okay,this is why Come on,grady - you freak out over everything.
That's not true.
If you don't have the stomach for this I do.
I swear.
Really? Yeah.
I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.
Now put this back where it belongs.
Hey,i got us tickets to the game tonight.
I don't think you're gonna make it.
That's a lot of money you've got there.
Who the hell are you? You want it? It's yours.
Just let him go.
You must make a good living.
$50,000 - all yours.
Just let him go and walk out that door.
Is that's all your brother's life is worth to you,hmm? $50 grand? I can give you whatever you want.
Whatever i want,huh? Name it.
I want my brother back.
You killed him.
You killed jimmy.
I don't even know anyone named jimmy.
He was one of your best customers! We don't know our customers.
You don't know your He died early this morning! Overdose! Okay,man,i'm sorry.
That's rough.
I tried to help him,but i couldn't.
Does that seem right to you? Cooper's armed.
We have every reason to believe the steele brothers are armed.
But we go in aggressive,we could trigger a firefight.
Can't go in without intel.
-Wordy,leah - eyes.
-Got it.
Sam I'll find a perch.
Transmitting.
Boss,we're good.
All right,he's got 'em.
Look at him.
His arm's shaking,he's breathing hard.
He's working up the courage to kill them.
We're running out of time.
Sam,do you have the solution? Negative.
Jules,cooper's got himself barricaded inside the house with the steele brothers.
Let's bring patty down here,maybe she can help us get through to her husband.
Copy that.
Come with me.
Did they find bobby? Yeah,i'm gonna take you to him.
Come on.
Please,don't.
Okay there,easy,easy,easy.
Open that bag of coke and pour it on the table.
Okay,no problem.
How much do you want? The whole bag.
Okay.
All right.
They're breaking out the drugs.
I didn't think cooper was a user.
As far as we know,he isn't.
You know my brother was so high once he went right through a plate glass window.
There was blood everywhere,but,jimmy,he didn't even know he was hurt.
That's what this stuff did to him.
Do you want me to cut it for you? It's not for me.
It's for him.
I don't touch that crap! Okay,we just sell!We don't use.
Hey,if it's good enough for my brother,it's good enough for yours! Get down! Okay,okay!All right,all right! You want him to do a line? That's cool,man.
No,not a line.
All of it.
That'll kill him.
Okay.
No! let him go,man!Let him go,man! Let him go! Robert cooper! This is sergeant gregory parker with the police strategic response unit.
I need you to put down your weapon and exit through the front door of the house immediately! come on!Do it! Robert cooper! There's cops all around us,man! You're done! Now let him go and give yourself up! Shut up! Mr.
Cooper,i need you to stay away from the front windows We'll be breaking the glass and sending a phone in.
I need you to pick it up and talk to me,all right? Just a little privacy.
Just you and me.
I think they want you to answer it.
I said shut up! Answer the damn phone! Well,he's not picking up,but at least we got ears.
Come on,cooper.
If you were gonna shoot us,you'd have done it by now.
Grady We didn't We didn't kill your brother,man.
Yes,you did! He did it to himself.
He's escalating him.
We didn't force him to take drugs! That was all on him! He's trying to distract him,throw him off his game.
You say you love your brother,why didn't you stop him from using? Shut up.
Maybe an intervention.
You better shut your mouth! Immediate action,white door.
Go in now,now! Everyone fall back! Fall back!Fall back! Status,status! No harm.
I'm good.
Coming to you.
I'm done listening.
We're going in.
Immediate action.
I think he's trying to force our hand, to get us to storm in and end this.
Okay,that makes sense.
That makes sense.
He's never shot to kill before.
He wants us to do it for him.
No one's dying today.
Sam,what do you got? two entrances,living room.
Two bedrooms upstairs.
You got a basement? Yeah.
Okay,where do the stairs lead? Back entrance goes straight into the basement.
Basement stairs go right up to the kitchen into the living room.
Right to the target.
Looks like it.
All right.
Let's stack it up.
Watch the windows.
Got it.
Wordy,you're on point.
Alpha team,move in.
don't speak!Do not speak! Robert cooper! Shoot him! We're not here to hurt anyone! No,shoot him! He's gonna kill my brother! Nobody's gonna get shot today,robert.
Oh,so now you show up? All these years,begging for your help while these guys take over.
I hear you,buddy.
I hear you.
I just need you to put that gun down.
They destroyed everything that my father ever built! We know what you lost,robert! They killed my brother.
I'm gonna put my weapon down so we n talk,okay? Robert,my name is kevin wordsworth.
My friends call me wordy.
I loved your dad's store.
What? Yeah.
Yeah,he had a rack of those old dime-store westerns, but nobody ever bought 'em.
He let me just hang out and read 'em.
He never kicked me out for not buying.
That's the kind of man he was.
What,you think that i don't know that he was a good man? He worked his hands to the bone! And then these Low-lifes,they come along and Wordy,we've got cooper's wife,patty,here with us.
She's gonna help us out.
Your wife is here,robert.
She's real worried about you.
No,no,no,no,i have to do this,all right? I have to do this for my brother jimmy.
Listen,i loved jimmy,too,but i know that he wouldn't want bobby to do this.
She's telling me that jimmy wouldn't want you to throw your life away.
There is no life! There is no life.
They took away anything that ever mattered to me! What about patty? She's right here and she loves you.
She's better off without me.
No! That's not true.
We were gonna start a family.
Patty's all about your future.
You were gonna have kids.
Robert You want to honour your brother's memory? Start living again.
No one is better off without you.
It's not right.
It's not right! They should pay for what they did! I know.
Okay,that's why i became a cop and not a cowboy.
I'll make sure I'll make sure they get what's coming to them.
But not like this.
Bob,put the down.
Come on,man.
We gotta do this the right way,coop.
Put the gun down.
Come on,please.
Let's do this together,huh? You and me.
Come on.
Good.
All the way down.
All the way down on the ground.
Drop it,drop it.
Now,get down on your knees.
That's it.
That's it.
Hands behind your head.
Good job.
Thank you!Thank you.
you act like you wonder if i know right from wrong believe me i understand i've been thinking.
You know,it's not like by the middle of next month they'll have found all the international bad guys and i'll have missed my chance.
A guy could stay pretty busy keeping the peace in his own backyard.
i am who i am and i am haunted by the things that you're saying you did good in there.
Thanks.
One good thing came out of all this.
Cooper kept them so busy They never had time to get rid of the goods.
Looks like they're going away for a long time.
So tonight at 8:00,or what? Can i get a rain check on the barbecue? I,uh,have some phone calls i have to make.
No problem.
Yeah? I told 'em,michaelangelo scarlatti, code name "spike," is a disgrace to the force.
