Hing I own is in it.
You got bigg worries than a shopping cart.
What's your name? Owen.
T? Hey.
Yo, give him time to think, man.
About his name? Giles.
So you were crashed out the float.
Righ owen? D enhe there was death, and you didn't hear anything? And you didn't see it.
Right? That what you're saying? Nuh-uh.
And then we came in for you, and we yelled "nopd!"About 50 times.
You didn't hear that either, huh? I was scared, man.
I didn'T I was buggin' out.
I mean, I didn't know what was happening.
No, I think you did.
I think you saw the whole thing, owen.
Hey, hold back, all right? Maybe mr.
Perl told you to split-- that you can't sleep here anymore-- and guess what.
Maybe you killed the guys hey, cobb! Someone want to book this guy? You saved him.
You rescued him, okay? And that's gotta be a little weird.
But there's no reason why you should be cutting him slack at a crime scene.
You're all about the slack when it's you the one that's getting it, right? Meing what? You swam out of that prison and started over fresh.
I cut you a break.
Mm-hmm.
You think nd chances start and end with you? Hey, cap, here I.
Fresh t the oven.
911 operator.
What is your emergency? He's got a gun! He's waving it.
Pointing it! God! Hurry! Somebody's gonna get killed! I just spoke with the janitor and the assistant manager, the only two employees who were wkionight.
Both of them left hours before the shooting, and thr ories check out.
In? What about our vics? Owner walter perl, 52.
And our would-be robber? Low-level thug.
James barnet, 27.
Co of petty thefts,a bar fight.
Also, I checked out oweniles, the guy we found onthe float, just to be safe.
He's clean.
Hey, cap, can I have a word with you? Look at that.
That would be a shotgun.
They're only foufeet apart.
A shotgun,that close range, should have blown perl clear into the float.
Chk this out.
Mr.
Perl has hair on arms, but not on his wrists.
Almost like it's been ripped off.
so? Adsibo so you're saying he was taped up? Let's just say tt thers irshte app rl,and heairn.
Barnet comes in.
Bang! Hehoots barnet with pers gue s then he ??et's, and he shoots .
He places the guns back in their hands, and he tries to make it look like a robbery gone bad.
Talk about taking a leap.
Now, why would he do that? I don't have the "why.
" But the "who"? I'm going to get me a p Go with him.
Yes, sir.
Hello! Anybody here? Knock, knock! Anybody home? What's going on? Oh, my stomach's growling what's going on.
How about a praline? Sorry.
This isn't a retail store.
We don't have a license to sell to the public.
Well, I ain't the public.
I serve the public.
Now, I'd like for you to serve me.
Please.
Suhing.
thank you.
They find owen's shopping cart yet? Leave it alone, cobb.
So you're saying they did? Maybe it was stolen.
He has really nice clothes for a homeless guy, partner hmm, so now you're an expert on homelessness, huh? Maybe he had a little pride.
I got you two kinds, officer.
Uh, hope you enjoy them.
Now, is there anything else i can do for you? Yes, actually.
Could you repeat after me? "He's got a gun! "He's waving it! "He's gonna shoot somebody! Somebody's gonna get killed!" Hmm.
let's take a walk.
And you're sure they can't see me? We're positive, mr.
Azabian.
Do you see the man you saw waving a gun at walter perl standing before you right now? Yeah.
Number two.
Are you sure? Yeah.
Get rid everybody except two.
I'm going in.
You lied to me! Why?! Why'd you kill them, owen, huh?! Why'd you kill them?! Easy! Easy! Easy! What are you doing, man? I saved the life of a killer.
You gonna die in prison.
Owen kills barnet and perl.
He was about to split when he saw us roll up, and realized that he would get caught if he tried to run, so he rolls himself around on the dirty floor, scuffs himself up, hides in that float and makes up that story.
Boulet, just let it go.
You were right.
I couldn't see it.
Didn't let myself.
This one's on me.
You bet your ass it is.
Open and shut? Try open and open wider,marlin.
They're called legs.
They connect my ankles to the rest of me.
Hold on, lyndsey.
What's the problem? We have a witness that puts owen at the crime, and then, five minutes later, we've got two dead bodies.
When your witness learned he had to testify, he developed acute amnesia.
He lawyered up and left.
You'll be lucky to get him to remember his own name.
Can't you subpoena him at trial? Impressive.
Yes.
But I can't torture him with electric shock to make sure he tells the truth.
What about physical evidence, huh? Prints? No.
They couldn't lift any.
Huh.
Okay.
Let's see, big gun should have blown perl across the room.
He couldn't have crawled along the floor while dying? Wound up in a different spot? Traces of adhesive on perl's wrist.
Hello? He worked in a warehouse.
He probably used tape all the time.
I could go on, but I'll cut right to motive because it's always nice when a killer has one, which in this case,he doesn'T.
Bail hearing's in five minutes.
I say we bail.
No, no, we can't do that.
Bail, bail, bail.
Don't do this to me, marlin.
Hey, lindsey we know he did this.
So, no probable cause to keep him? No probable cause?! Yeah, with the added benefit of me getting my ass handed to me on a plate.
Lindsey come back to me with a witness or some hard evidence, boulet,or let it go.
Excuse me, officer,I need some fresh air.
Double homicide premeditation.
You going down, owen.
Make no mistake.
Well, officer boulet, at least you'll be there to pull me right back up again.
Here's what I should do.
I should pay that fool that own the praline company a visit.
Take a egg beater to his face.
We got no witnesses, we got no evidence, we got no motive.
It's a robbery.
The motive is money.
No.
No, no.
Uh-uh.
See, that's what owen was wanting us to believe it was.
Walter perl defending his warehouse against james barnet,armed robber.
Except it don't make sense 'cause mardi gras world ain't a cahat was barnet doing e in the first place? We find out what barnet was up to, we know what owen was up to.
Love tap said he lived with his girlfriend, right? I don't know what he was doing there.
James went a lot of places, had a lot of friends.
Maybe he was making a down payment on a float.
You know, that giant hermaphrodite mermaid could really enhance the front lawn.
You know, if you just want to make jokes, I got to get to work.
Really? I thought you might have worked here.
Running a pawnshop maybe.
That stuff ain't stolen, if that's what you thinking.
Not until now we weren'T.
They're presents.
Yeah, ten of the same cell phone? I hope you got gift receipts.
Hey, man, all this right here, this come from stores in the neighborhood.
It wasn't a racket.
James provided a service.
Made sure they were safe.
He had a good heart.
When they didn't have the money, he would get this junk instead.
The owners didn't mind him 'cause james treated 'em better than the guy he used to collect for.
Owen giles? How'd you know that name? James wasn't a bad person.
He wasn'T not when you really knew him.
But owen giles, no mercy.
Somebody miss a payment, he'd break both they thumbs.
Miss two payments,he'd torch your store.
We thought he was dead,you know? I guess that bastard survived somehow.
Homeless.
So after the storm, he leaves town like everyone else.
He holes up in jackson or houston or wherever.
Two years later,the fema checks run out, he comes back into town.
And finds out that barnet took over his business.
And doesn't give it back,owen takes it.
Let's see what hole this rat's gonna run into now.
No, no, no, no, no,not angelo'S.
What, you know him? Yeah.
They've been serving me ice cream since I was a kid.
Pickle peach.
Makes it special for me.
You say, pickle peach? You don't use the skin, man.
You just use the inside.
Come on.
Are you gonna harass him? I'm going to investigate.
Hold on a second, man.
Boulet.
What? Look, man, this guy's not a punk, man.
He's a player.
And if our case isn't airtight and our conduct's over the top, then owen's $500-an-hour lawyer is gonna make sure that he walks again and again.
I won't do anything stupid.
So, you're not gonna pay for that ice cream? Marlin hey, angie,you handing out free cones now? No, it's just he came by last week and I didn't have no change for him, so I told him to come back anytime.
Excuse me.
Look, I know why you killed jimmy barnet, but couldn't figure out why you capped walter perl till just now.
Not that he wouldn't or couldn't pay.
You just wanted to send a message to the stores on your racket that "I'm back, and it's gonna be just like the old days.
" Well, you're right about one thing.
I am back.
Not for long.
You see, the people here, they know me and they trust me a lot more than they're afraid of you.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Don't move.
Marlin, please.
Angelo, if you tell me that man is threatening you, extorting you, harassing you, I will slap cuffs on him and you will never see him again, I promise.
And you know I keep my promises.
Hey,don't look at him.
Look at me.
Because I can protect you.
I don't need protection.
There's no problem here.
Can I go, sir? My ice cream's melting.
Go on.
Get out of here.
Uh, a scoop of pickle peach? I've been coming here every sunday since I was five years old.
Ere, ?my daughter, and you're gonna stand there and lie to me when I'm trying to help you?! How you gonna help? Arrest him? You did that.
We're not blind, marlin.
We see.
We listen.
The courts are so messed up they can't give jail time to murderers.
Thugs just keep their mouth shut for 60 days and they walk.
Hey, I know what a 60-day homicide is.
Then don't be surprised when folks on my side of the counter keep their mouth shut, too.
It ain't surprise I'm feeling,angelo.
They're scared, boulet.
It's only human.
Don't take it personally.
No? Then why am I out here busting my ass every day? Man, it's one thing when the courts screw up and let a guy like owen go free, but when angelo, my friends, when they don't stand up, why should I keep risking my life to protect a city when no one's got the guts to help me? Because they don't have the guts to help you.
Man, don't-don't be pretzeling up my logic.
Lookit,cops run towards all the crap that everyone runs from.
That's what we do.
Plus, what else you gonna do with your life? I don't know.
Flip burgers, sell cosmetics.
Cosmetics? Just an example.
Look, boulet, go home, spend some time with ayana and tawni.
Forget about this thing for a little while.
Yeah, ayana did say she was gonna fry some catfish tonight.
Nice bottle of wine,good music.
There you go.
Hey, you gonna be all right? Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I'll be fine.
All right.
n't sit down.
We're going back out.
What are you talking about, marlin? I got a hot date with a cold tequila.
Did I say not to sit? Come on.
Strap your guns back on.
Our shift just ended.
Well, glue boy,you're working overtime now.
We got a bunch of arrests to make.
Yeah? Who? Don't worry about it.
Bring extra zip cuffs.
Come on.
we're closing up here, marlin.
You see a protection certificate anywhere? Walls? Doors? What? Neither do I.
And that's a violation of service code 17.
When's the last time your thermometers were calibrated? My thermometers? Turn around.
What is going on here, marlin? Oh, so you harassing an officer now? I said turn around.
Love tap, round up the owners on that list.
That's all the shops on owen's racket.
You sure you want to do this, marlin? Hey, you take the prey, you starve the predator.
And don't forget about that praline shop.
Come on.
Let's go.
And lock up here when you leave.
This is insane.
I know, I know,I know.
Just keep moving.
obstruction of justice? You can't arrest us for that.
The hell I can'T.
You have information that'd help me capture a criminal and you are deliberately withholding it from me.
I have friends on the city council who will take care oa, whoa! Are you threatening me, audrey? Me, hmm? A few years back, when your store robbed, I didn't camp out on your doorstep till I caught that guy? And harry, huh? When your son fell in with the wrong crowd, I didn't talk to him and get him back on track? I'm your friend.
I'm on your side.
hey, quiet, all of you! 'Cause that's what you're g keeping your mouth shut.
You let owen giles rip you off in exchange for protection.
That ain't living free.
The difference between his cage and mine, is in mine,he can't hurt you.
Because you're all here together.
Now, if you all speak up, if you all stand up, stand with me, take the stand and testify against this punk, it will be you who he can't touch.
Lyndsey.
This lady is lyndsey swann.
She works with the district attorney's office.
Look, I understand your apprehension-- we all do.
That is why my office is willing to arrange protection for you.
We can arrange secure transportation to and from court.
Relocation during trial we don't want to relocate.
Yeah.
This is our home.
Which is why I'm looking into better options, but right now, given the city's tight budget you're talking about budgets?! I think you don't want a solution.
You enjoy your cage.
Enjoy the night.
Enlighten me, because i'm curious.
Where in the police manual does it say it's okay to smoke out a b guy by putting a bunch of law-abiding citizens in the slammer? It was for their own protection.
All right?It was the only way that I could meet with all of them without putting any one of them in owen's crosshairs.
But jail? Okay, maybe that was a little drastic, but how else? A little drastic?! Yeah, the mayor,the chamber of commerce and the city council would say yes! And ere were you during all this? I was just following up on some leads.
These leads bring you to a book store? No, sir.
That's too bad, 'cause you need to buy a dictionary and find out what the word "partner" means.
I may have to run this squad now, but I haven't forgotten what it means to have tner's back.
Owen's protection racket got outed big time.
This could make him less effective.
I'm more concerned with making you leseffective.
You're off the case, boulet.
What? You should feel lucky you're not off the payroll.
Now go on, get out of here.
You saved a guy, boulet, who's bad.
Get over it, for god's sakes.
Hey, this isn't about the guy I saved.
It's about the guy I didn'T.
What are you talking about? That day there was another guy on the roof with owen.
My boat was taking on water, so I could only take one at a time.
Hey! Over here! Over here, man! Help! Hey!Hey, help! Hold on.
Stop! Stop!Help us, please! Hey, hey.
You guys okay? All right.
Hey, anybody hurt? You guys okay? I can't take both of you, okay? F you.
You, come get on the boat.
I need you to stay right there.
What you saying? Just stay right there.
Please.
??Can't be up here no more, please.
Hey, I'm coming back.
I'll come back for you,I promise.
Okay? But how long?How long? Ten minutes.
Ten minutes, I promise,I'll be back, okay? Just hold on.
Hold on.
I promise.
I'll be back for you.
Ten minutes,I promise.
Hold on tight, all right?Hold on! When I came back 20 minutes later hey, where are you? Hey! Hey! Hey, where'd you go? Oh, no.
Oh, no! The other guy had drowned.
Must have slipped.
Hit his head or something.
Yeah, well, that's not your fault.
No, but I think about it a lot.
Even before all of this.
What kind of job he had if he had a family, kids.
I took owen and left him to drown.
And now more people are dead because of the choice that I made.
So thi where it happened? Owen's going down.
He doesn't know who he's dealing with.
Hi, this is the boulet family.
Please leave a message.
Hey, boulet family.
This is daddy boulet.
I am one hungry daddy.
I'll be home for dinner in a few.
Kisses.
All units in the vicinity of 135 royal.
Three alarm blaze.
Nofd requests assistance.
Boulet, copy.
Police coming through.
Excuse me.
Police coming through.
Excuse me.
Police coming through.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Oh, my god what? Angie, what happened? I I don't know.
I was just closing up.
Why? This is everything i have gone.
I promise, I swear,I will find him.
I don't care about him.
What about me? How am i going to live? I thought you were my friend.
You did this.
You made this happen.
Go! Go! come on, come on.
Marlin? Marlin? Hey.
Hey.
Why'd you lock the door? Uh, hey, uh I hadn't even realized i'd done it.
Oh, I just came to tell you that tawni's sound asleep.
She's all settled in.
Uh good.
She's really asleep.

I just got to catch up with cobb and finish up some work we started.
I'll be back.
Okay.
I'll see you later.
Sure, all right.
I love you.

Keep them right there.
get your ass up.
You're finished.
When we get to the station we ain't going to the station.
Who are you? I'm marlin boulet's partner.
Me and you need to talk.
I got nothing to talk about.
Please, go.
This boulet's special batch? Yeah.
You don't want to talk to me, it's fine, but he's not going to need this anymore.
I could lose everything.
Like mrs.
Beckmann next door.
Yeah, you co I'm not going to sugarcoat it.
But anything worth fighting for-- there's risks involved, angelo.
What'd you mean about that ice cream? Listen, if nobody stands up with boulet on this, he'll fight this battle on his own.
No matter what the cost.
And if he does, I don't like his odds.
hello.
Ayana, trevor cobb.
Oh, yeah, hi.
What's going on? Nothing, nothing.
Look, is marlin around? What do you mean? He said he was with you.
Is everything okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah,everyt we just must have crossed wires.
He's probably waiting for me at this other place.
Didn't you try his cell? No, I didn'T.
I'm gonna do that next, though.
Listen, I'll tell him to give you a buzz, okay, as soon as I catch up with him, all right? All right, thanks.
You have a nice night.
Yeah, uh, you, too.
get out.
hey, cap.
Where the hell are you? Are you bringing in owen or what? Yeah, listen, we got him and we're bringing him right now.
Well, hurry it up.
All the shopkeepers have agreed to testify against owen.
They're all here.
I don't want to keep them waiting.
Let me talk to boulet.
Hey, cap, listen cobb? Captain can you hear me? Cobb? You-you're breaking up.
If you can hear me, I'll call 00:38:34.
1:you back in a second.
Cobb, let me cobb?! So this is what you do with second chances, huh? You rob people? You kill 'em? Assault.
Civil damages.
I'm gonna screw you up, boulet.
Yeah, give me a reason.
That rooftop it was right over there.
The guy you were with, I went back for him.
He was dead in the water.
you don't feel nothing, do you? No gratitude, guilt, nothing.
I got you to thank for that, my man.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
You see, when the waters were rising and it looked like i might bite it, a part of me felt good.
Yeah, I thought, now you see, now we talking.
God sent a hurricane to whip my ass.
Maybe there is some justice.
But then when you pulled me off that roof, put me in the little boat, oh, I saw things much clearer.
God? Ain't no god.
That other guy on the roof, he was down on his knees praying to god the whole time, begging ???im live, going on and on about his family.
Come on, man.
It's survival of the fittest.
You looking at him, boulet.
Not for long, owen.
The world is full of people like you.
And people like me, boulet.
People like you don't pull the trigger.
you blew my damn eardrums out, man! Hey! Let's talk about this, okay? Ain't no need for it to be like this, yo.
Let's just talk about it.
Look, man, don't be a fool, all right? I mean, people gonna hear this mess.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they can.
But they'll keep their mouth shut.
You see, 'cause people like you made that their reality.
Look at me.
No, man.
Come on, all right, look.
Look at me.
I will change, all right? I will change no! Look at me! Yes! I will change.
Look in my face! Boulet! Look in my face! I will change!Boulet! boulet! Let him go! Call him off! Shut up! Boulet, let him go! Cobb back away.
You don't need to be a part of this.
Let him go, man.
The shopkeepers came through.
They're gonna finger him as a group.
We got 19 witnesses and more on the way.
He's looking to do tetohard time.
Anif the praline man comes through, we got him on murders, too.
He's gonna spend the rest of his life in prison.
Don't you just be telling me this, cobb.
No, no, the D.
A.
, Lyndsey swann, she came through.
How? She's the one she couldn't do nothing for nobody.
Owen has been ripping shopkeepers off who shipped goods across the coury.
So? And that means it's a federal crime.
??? The feds to kick in money to protect our witnesses around the clock until we can get is idiot for good.
And what happens when they just kick him free again, huh? Ome shiny suit lawyer uses this right here to let him go? You're right.
Shoot him.
Do it.
COME ON it's probably cleaner that way.
Huh? Two years ago you made the wrong choice.
Pull the trigger and make the right one, do it! Come on, shoot him.
Don't shoot me.
Play god, boulet, and let's go home.
Come on, man, don't do this.
Please, don't do this.
Shut up! Please, man,don't do this.
Don't do it, man.
Don't shoot me, man.
Don't shoot a roscoe, huh? Unregistered.
Probably hot.
Just like any old street thug.
that's what I figured.
You bluffed him with an empty clip.
I wish that were true.
Got that other clip for you right here.
You got two bullets left.
Yeah.
??? To remind him what it felt like to be a victim.
See that look in his es agn, scare him to the edge of his life.
Thought that's all I needed.
But right in the middle of it I felt something in me snap.
And I was going to do it.
For real.
Had two bullets left.
And I knew right where i was gonna put them.
So you swapped out the clips to stop yourself.
What brought you back? I need a drink.
You coming? Not tonight.
I got a thing.
Bring her.
It's not that type of thing.
I'll see ya, Owen giles, guilty as charged.
Mr.
Giles will be held over for sentencing.
Court is adjourned.
Blue skies from now she is really not good.
Well, if you think you can do better bring it on.
Who's next? Trevor cobb, next.
Uh-oh.
No, no, no, no.
Sounds like somebody put your name on the list.
Come on, man.
Come on, get up there.
Trevor cobb! Trevor cobb! Trevor cobb! Trevor cobb! Trevor cobb!
