No Way Back
I just want to know what's happening!
What are you doing? What are you doing?
You don't understand.
Don't make me go off.
Chief Guillory.
Madam DA.
- Lieutenant Poincy.
- Chief.
Detective Lincoln, we're gonna have to stop meeting like this.
You're negotiating? Lieutenant Poincy's in the negotiator's chair this time as per the subject's request and the delicate nature of the standoff.
I'm coaching his efforts to broker a surrender.
Well, that's a hell of an undertaking.
You got a wife and child in there? Yeah, they're in there with him, Chief.
- Oh, Lord.
- Litigating his charges is off the table.
Understood.
That woman and child are in danger.
We're going to have to accelerate this to an end.
He's claiming entrapment, and he'd like to discuss it with you, Madam DA.
He wants to talk? We can talk when he surrenders.
He will not mount a defense with this standoff and social media.
And why haven't we cut his phone? It's in the works.
Prepare to cut the power! Mommy.
Yes, baby.
What's happening? Just play your game.
Okay? I got candles.
You get that high score yet, little man? Not yet.
All right.
You keep working at it, okay? Baby.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Tay.
Baby, I love you.
I love you.
What's up! Oh, my God, look! Rayshawn is on the news! We've got local news interview on Rayshawn.
How come my five-year-old son in the next room with his mother dodging bullets? They shot up our window, and they tried to break down my door.
And now they cut the power off.
This whole day New Orleans Police has been trying to kill me.
Are you planning on coming out? I'm planning on keeping my family safe.
For the love of Jesus.
Someone find that cellphone carrier and get his phone cut off.
It's a very tense scene out here with a lot of concern over your hostages.
Hostages? - Lady, I got my wife and my son in here.
- Excuse me.
I need to let our viewers know that we've just gotten word that the police officer has died at the hospital.
- What? - The identification of the officer - is being held at this time - Jesus.
while authorities notify the family.
A cause of death has not been given, but sources confirm that the injuries sustained during this morning's police pursuit led to the officer's death.
The office of Police Chief Guillory declined to comment.
Further details to come.
Rayshawn, will this change how you handle this Rayshawn? Are you there? Rayshawn? I think we've lost our connection.
But you heard it here first on WLYZ.
