(sirens wailing, helicopter blades whirring)
REPORTER: ...at this time believed is responsible,
but there's speculation about a lone gunman firing at random.
WOMAN: I saw her! She was shot in the chest!
There was blood everywhere!
(reporters clamoring, camera shutters clicking)
REPORTER: Can you tell me anything about
what happened inside?
(reporters shouting questions)
(camera shutters clicking)
I just want to shower up and go to bed.
Let's hope SIU feels the same way.
Sequestered means no talking till after your interview.
Sorry, guys, they make me say that.
Look, under the circumstances,
think maybe we can sequester ourselves home
and do these interviews tomorrow?
It's procedure, and it's not just SIU.
The whole country's in shock.
You saw all the media out there.
Everybody's gonna be needing answers.
We're all under the microscope here.
Well, you have our full cooperation.
Team One, cross T's and dot I's.
I'm the subject officer. Let's get it done.
Good. I'll start with you. Where's your lawyer?
Let's just forget the lawyer.
We'll record it. Get us all home faster.
I hear you.
Hey, Shel. Yeah, I know.
The girls didn't watch, though, did they?
Shel...
No, I'm okay.
But it's gonna be a while.
(trilling, hydraulic whirring)
Look, I know the last thing you want to do
is talk about what happened.
I'm good. Let's cut to the chase.
You ended it.
You did your job.
I'm not here to discuss the use of lethal force.
Clearly, the suspect... sorry, subject,
had shown the intent to kill.
I just need to hear
and assess the details and deliver my report.
Well, it's all right there in the transcripts.
What else do you need to know?
We entered the building, then we contained,
isolated and neutralized the threat.
Are you comfortable with that language?
What do you mean?
Well, you don't want to see blasé.
"Neutralize the threat."
What you really mean is...
Kill someone.
What's your point?
Does thinking in those terms help get the job done?
JULES: Not at all.
It's never easy to take a life.
Even when that life is what saves a number of others.
Which, of course, you did tonight.
That's right.
What was the final count?
SPIKE: The number shot?
Ten dead, two wounded.
Ten dead.
That include the shooter,
the one your team killed?
(people screaming)
(sirens wailing)
Say, buddy, talk to me, okay?
How many casualties? Got five.
Five dead so far.
Please, my husband, he's still in there! Please!
Can we get a paramedic over here?
Please!
How long since the last shot was fired?
Four-four minutes ago.
You get a look at the shooter?
No, I was patrolling the hallway.
I didn't see anything out of place,
and everything looked as it should be.
(gunshot)
WOMAN: Angela!
(four gunshots, people screaming)
Angela!
GUARD: Excuse me. Pardon me. Excuse me, guys.
Pardon me. Pardon me. Excuse me.
(screams) Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am.
You need to come with me, ma'am.
She's dead. We've got to get out of here.
(woman sobbing)
Do you have any idea how many people are left inside?
200. May... maybe 250.
Eddie, Eddie, seven shots fired.
Hasn't gone to ground.
Looks like a spree. Random shooting pattern,
high kill ratio. What kind of event was this?
A company party for Brenton, Inc.
PARKER: Could be a workplace issue, disgruntled employee.
(clamoring, sirens wailing)
I'll get started.
All right. Spike, get some
floor plans for this gentlemen.
We need to track this. Let's go. Let's go!
Let's lock those exits down! Do it now!
Let's set up a triage area nearby.
Guys, direct to threat.
We contain, isolate and neutralize.
Priority is speed.
There were already five dead when you arrived?
Things happen fast in spree killings.
That's why ending things fast is so important.
37 minutes.
37 minutes to arrive, contain and neutralize, yeah.
You're the tactician, right?
I'm the team leader,
but Greg Parker's the sergeant.
So you're saying the 37 minutes had more to do with him?
He'd seen this kind of shooting before,
and he brought that experience to the table.
I'm aware of your sergeant's background.
That's right, you used to be a cop.
And now I protect them.
It's why I joined SIU.
You've got quite the reputation.
The killing spree at Cornwall took nine minutes to contain.
Chesapeake High took 13. The big question
the media are going to ask is why did this one take 37?
Those were different circumstances.
We had a lot more square footage to cover.
And while you were covering it,
the subject was able to shoot six more people.
How do I explain that?
Well, if you want to protect cops,
you suggest to the media to forget the 37 minutes
and focus instead on the lives we saved.
Fair enough. Let's talk about
saved lives. Good, let's do that.
Would you have been able to save more lives and end the incident
more quickly if you hadn't allowed Sergeant Parker
to override you?
Boss, I need Spike out of the truck and in the building.
No, he's serving a purpose in the truck, Ed.
Boss, I need the hands here.
We could use the intel more.
More than quicker containment?
Eddie, a building like this, without intel, we're blind.
We're running around in circles.
Not a fan of circles.
Guys, this is a spree shooting...
Just prepare for it.
What did Sergeant Parker mean, "prepare for it"?
Sam?
You were there, you saw it.
Sorry, it's hard to wash all the blood off.
I won't keep you long.
And try hydrogen peroxide, it helps.
A shooting spree isn't like a hostage crisis or a bomb scare.
Even if you do everything right, there's gonna be a death count.
Bodies.
Yes.
You spent time in Afghanistan, right?
Yes. Two tours.
Did that experience dull your sensitivity?
I don't have PTSD and I do value human life,
if that's what you're asking.
I just meant did the experience maybe make it easier.
Made death familiar, not easy.
But because the boss warned us,
we were prepared for the bodies.
Was there something you weren't prepared for?
Guess I wasn't expecting the shoes.
Easier to run without them.
No.
Two more.
Gone.
Here, too.
ED: Here's the other two.
This is ground zero; the first five victims.
Not a lot of stray bullet holes.
The shooter knows guns.
They were heading west.
Away from the exits.
The shooter was probably following them,
driving them further into the building.
All right, let's move.
Spike, main atrium clear.
We're heading west.
Got it. Boss, I'm gonna send in uniforms
and EMT to follow up, recover the bodies.
Copy that, Spike, but only the areas we've cleared.
Remember, any other details, sir?
I don't know.
It happened really fast.
I was talking to an investor.
(gunshots) WOMAN: Angela!
(gunshots, panicked screaming)
(screaming)
Angela!
Thank you very much.
Okay, team, we're getting conflicting stories
from all the witnesses,
but none of them mention overlapping gunfire,
so the shots all came from one location.
One gun, lone shooter-- fits a spree profile.
We got a description?
Nah, no one really got a good look.
Any of the witnesses have guesses
about who they pissed off?
Brenton, Inc. is a multinational conglomerate.
People love to hate multinational conglomerates.
Our number of potentially disgruntled just got bigger.
Eddie, how you guys doing? You doing okay?
Yeah.
Just please be careful.
Always.
Spike? No eyes yet, but this should help. The guard said
certain areas of the building were closed off for the party.
I can confirm none of these locks have been breached.
That's good. Narrows our search by half.
Eddie, the west side of the building is clear.
Just keep heading north.
SAM: Three o'clock.
Drop the weapon! Hands up now!
Let's go! Let's go!
Don't shoot! Slowly!
We don't have any weapons, okay?
There are no guns. Jim and I work for Brenton.
These are our wives.
Anybody see the shooter?
No.
We were at the bar.
(gunshots) We heard some shots.
(gunshots, panicked screaming)
And then we just ran. We wanted to get out of there.
What do we got? What do we got?
They're clean.
JULES: All right, let's go.
He ran up those stairs. You saw him?
I heard him. Every one else was running.
He was the only one walking.
JULES: Just wait here for a police officer.
Spike, Asian Gallery's secure.
We have four people coming out and they need an escort.
Copy that.
JULES: Avian Gallery clear.
SAM: Our shooter's been quiet.
Means he's done, dead or reloading.
(two gunshots) ED: Let's hope for done.
Ed!
ED: Shots fired!
(panicked screaming)
Stop right now! Stay right there!
(panicked shouting)
Stop! Stop!
Wordy, contain these people! Get them out of here now! Move! Move!
Let's go, folks! Now!
Quickly! Please! Let's go!
Come on! Come on! Quickly, please! Let's go!
(gunshot) Shooter 12 o'clock!
Go, go, go! Move that way now! Go!
Keep going!
Wait. This was
eight minutes in.
Eight minutes since
you entered the building
and Ed Lane told you to stay.
Yep.
Or was it Sergeant Parker?
Ed. We needed the crowd contained.
This is all in the transcript.
Does your team leader have confidence in you?
What do you mean?
Pursue an active shooter
or babysit witnesses.
Ed Lane left you behind.
Those witnesses were putting themselves and us in danger.
They needed to be evacuated.
Okay, I get it.
It was important to keep them safe,
so put a trusted officer on it.
What is this,
some solo version of good cop/bad cop?
(chuckles softly)
Sorry.
Old habit from the force.
Okay. Well, it's confusing.
You would've just made
my old partner Brian very happy.
He thought it would trip up the bad guys
if we sort of
switched sides mid-interrogation.
I guess I still do it.
It's hard losing a partner.
What?
You said it "would've" made him happy, not "it will."
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...
So what happened next, was that a mistake?
ED: Police! Police!
Right there! SAM: Police! Stop right there!
(all yelling) Drop the weapon!
It's not me! On the ground! Drop it now!
It's not me! It's not me! On the ground now!
Stay down! Stay down!
(groans)
He's clean.
Boss, subject secure.
(two gunshots)
Eddie?
Correction.
Subject still at large.
Captioning sponsored by CBS
WORDY: Civilians secure. En route to the exit.
INVESTIGATOR: So you apprehended the wrong suspect?
It turned out the man in the tux was a Brenton guest.
With a legally owned handgun. The CEO's bodyguard.
Our choices were appropriate to the situation.
Taking down a man pursuing the shooter?
A man discharging his gun in an already volatile situation.
Okay, here's the problem.
The public are in shock
and they're gonna want somebody to blame.
This is how it's gonna spin:
your decision to pursue an innocent man wasted time
and allowed the shooter's rampage to continue.
That's not what happened. Won't matter.
Make it matter. It's your job.
Look, you're smart, I'm smart.
We can sit here and we can twist the words all day long.
What is it that you really want to hear?
The truth.
Makes two of us.
My job is to keep the public informed
and the police service accountable.
Was the incident mishandled,
and if so whose fault was it?
No, it was not mishandled.
You have the transcripts.
Is there anything else that I can help you with?
I'm good.
What was Greg Parker's state of mind today?
Excuse me?
You'd know best. You're second negotiator.
In your opinion,
does he bring his personal bias to the negotiations?
All negotiators rely on personal bias. We're human.
We can't erase life experience.
So, you incorporate it? To an extent.
What does this have to do with the investigation?
Did Greg Parker's judgment today prolong the rampage?
No.
Spike, I.D.'s on the deceased?
The witnesses helped identify them.
I'm looking for connections in case this isn't random.
Anything? One so far:
they all worked for Brenton's pharmaceutical arm.
That's something.
But none of them worked
in the same division.
All right, try matching the names
through executive boards and action committees.
If you're right, our shooter needs a motive. Copy.
SAM: I got it.
JULES: Sam?
This was 13 minutes after
Team One entered the building?
Yeah, that sounds about right.
You want to tell me what happened?
Why did Jules Callaghan step in
after you said, "I got it"?
If there's a problem, if this is too much for you...
maybe you should consider being put on leave?
It wasn't the incident that was it.
Then what was it?
Most people don't understand why anyone would choose
to put their life on the line for strangers.
It's a good question.
I grew up in a military family
and as a kid, I didn't get it either, but...
one day when I was nine,
I was taking my little sister to the park.
We stopped at a crosswalk,
and this car jumped the curb and hit her.
Sent her flying and...
I remember looking over at her laying there and thinking,
"Why is she barefoot?"
Then I looked down beside me, and there were her sandals.
She'd been knocked right out of them.
She died?
Some people are helpless and need to be protected.
Yes, they do.
So you joined up like your dad.
Yeah, like my dad.
But today, for that one second,
it just came back to my little sister.
'Cause this woman in the museum was...
she was barefoot.
I got a pulse.
EMS, Dinosaur Gallery.
Guys, I think I have something here.
Spike, I'm gonna send this to you.
Boss?
(low, indistinct conversations)
(gunshots, panicked screaming)
(gunshot)
(computer beeps)
(panicked screaming)
SPIKE: The shooter's a woman.
I'll run her face through Brenton's personnel system.
Put it through the license database, too, females between 30 and 40.
Let's keep our options open. She may not be an employee.
Copy.
(computer beeping)
You're going to be okay.
Just hang in there.
OFFICER: We got EMS!
(woman groans)
What's your name, ma'am?
(moans)
Spike, we got eyes yet?
SPIKE: Sort of.
The motion detectors are working,
but not all the CCTV cameras
are operational.
So some of the cameras have blind spots?
Yep.
Like the room you're in now.
It's been shot out.
Oh, that would do it.
Boss, we're splitting into Alpha and Bravo.
What's your plan, Eddie?
We got to get ahead of her.
If she's shooting out cameras as she goes,
we can track where she's been.
And maybe predict where she's going.
ED: Yeah, but we got to get ahead of her.
Back her into a corner. Copy that.
Eddie, you and Wordy are Alpha?
We're heading east.
Sam and Jules, you're Bravo Team heading west.
Okay, everybody, I need you
to locate the motion detectors above the art
and manually re-direct them outwards.
Like an electronic perimeter.
Spike can monitor movement where we don't have eyes.
Boss?
I've matched the shooter's face from the cell footage
with photos from the driver's license database.
Who is she?
Claire Williams.
No criminal record, and not an employee of Brenton.
It's not a workplace grudge.
Looking.
Everything you can find.
Track down family, see if they can tell us anything.
(gunshot)
Eddie? Status!
We're right behind her.
Don't shoot!
Where's the shooter?
Don't shoot!
I'm not going to shoot you, sir.
The woman with the gun.
Can you tell me where she went?
I don't know.
She shot Kevin.
Okay.
Is this your coworker?
Yeah. She just shot him.
I knew I was going to die.
She was going to shoot me, too.
I-I-I closed my eyes, but...
nothing happened, and I opened my eyes,
and she was gone.
Did you know her?
No. I-I'd never seen her before.
Wait.
Do you know why she didn't shoot me, too?
She's choosing her victims.
Team One, new deal.
This isn't a spree shooting.
This is personal.
Okay, we've got fresh eyes on this, team.
These victims are not random.
This is personal.
INVESTIGATOR: Anyone ever accuse your team of bad profiling?
No. You went in
hunting a male disgruntled employee
randomly shooting people when you should have been looking
for a woman on a mission.
Statistics and experience suggest a male shooter.
Now, the profile evolved.
We changed our thinking, and we found her.
After 37 minutes.
And this evolving profile--
did it add pressure to the situation?
Time was against you.
Were you feeling stressed or...?
Or annoyed?
Yes.
Were you feeling annoyed? Off your game?
No.
I was doing my job.
We all were.
It's natural to feel frustrated.
We had new information--
from our search, from the sister, from what Spike found.
Now, adjusting profiles
as we go is part of the job,
just like reading transcripts is part of yours.
Let me ask you this.
Do typos annoy you? Do they frustrate you?
Do they compromise your, uh,
your game?
So, if your analogy fits, you were annoyed.
I am now. You got an actual question?
I do. What did you do with the new information?
Anything line up between the shooter
and the names of the deceased?
PARKER: Spike's still looking through
court records and police reports-- anything he can find.
He says her sister's here, so I'm gonna see what she knows.
Rachel?
Hi. I'm Sergeant Parker.
Thanks for coming. Please, have a seat.
Do you have any idea why your sister would do this?
Claire's been through a nightmare.
Her husband Tom had been in the hospital for months.
It was horrible.
Then last week, Claire...
she had to take him off life support.
He lasted for a couple of hours, but he didn't make it.
Claire's not
a very outgoing person.
Tom was her whole world.
She kind of fell apart.
What's the connection to this company, to Brenton?
Tom had been on Neptysol, a drug made by Brenton.
An ingredient in it killed him.
And that was proven?
He had a rare reaction
to a binding chemical.
Rare enough to be considered
what the fine print calls an "acceptable risk."
And Claire disagreed? Yeah.
Claire disagreed.
MAN: Please, Mrs. Williams.
Claire, I need you to reconsider our offer.
Ben, I think you should leave.
I'm sorry, Claire.
I am so sorry for your loss.
And I know that nothing I say is gonna make that
hurt any less, but not taking the money
is not gonna bring your husband back.
I don't want your money.
I want your company
to change their product.
Well, I'm afraid that is not gonna happen.
Well, then we have a problem. Reformulating
Neptysol, that would take years of retesting and research.
Yes. Now, during that time, we would have
to pull it off the market.
(chuckles) Now, I know this is a sad time,
but I just want you to look
at the big picture.
Neptysol is a miracle pill
for millions of people worldwide. Millions.
Now, the binding ingredient
that your husband had a negative reaction...
Negative? Negative?!
As in death?
That occurs in less than point-zero-zero...
We're not numbers.
Your product killed my husband,
and other people's loved ones as well.
That is what this lawsuit is about.
Stopping... stopping innocent people from dying.
Claire, the lawsuit is why I'm here, officially.
Now, your lawyer's gonna call you this afternoon,
but I felt after all the meetings with the company
I'd give you a face-to-face explanation.
But there is not going to be a lawsuit.
All the rest of the families have agreed to take the money.
Now, I'm sorry, but that's why
I think you need to take our offer.
I'll fight it myself. Brenton can
afford this dispute.
The only question is whether
you want to face that fact
with or without compensation.
(dishes shattering)
(quiet sob)
When she stopped,
I asked Ben how much they were offering.
Claire just stormed out.
It was four days ago.
I haven't seen her since.
Thank you. Thank you for coming.
If I have any more questions, I'll call.
Thank you.
Find who's named on Claire's lawsuit.
If the names match up with our deceased...
We'll know the remaining targets.
(alarm blaring) ED: Boss, she set a fire.
WORDY: We must be closing in.
Guys, there's gonna be an automatic lockdown.
Wordy, go, go, go!
Damn it!
Wordy,
get the fire.
Spike, override this lockdown now.
She's buying time.
I'm trying, but they just renovated the museum.
I don't care!
Oh, you do. The security system's upgraded.
Spike, do it now!
I haven't dealt with a 2700 before.
At which point
your team leader responded with some colorful language.
Ed says what thinks. Profanity
is an expression of loss of control.
Not very reassuring
for a team leader.
He didn't lose control.
He didn't make it harder for you
to think clearly under pressure?
No, he didn't.
Are you sure?
Active shooter,
direct to threat imperative,
and you cost your team valuable seconds
trying to open a door.
That wasn't 'cause of Ed;
that was because I didn't know this particular system.
Doesn't your team count on you
to be familiar with all the advances in security technology?
I am-- I stay on top of every release, but the 2700...
The bereaved don't want to hear about the 2700.
They want to know whether charges of criminal negligence
should be brought against the leaders of your team for the deaths
that occurred after your arrival.
When I was unable to override the security system
and unlock the door, Ed took care of it.
When you failed.
When I failed, Ed succeeded.
The team succeeded.
We all have our roles,
our strengths and our weaknesses.
We work together.
We're not a bunch of guys;
we're a unit.
ED: Spike,
(alarm blaring) I'm taking over.
(beeping) Get down.
(beeping continues)
(loud explosion)
We're in. Let's go, let's go!
(alarm continues blaring)
Okay, let's stop here.
Excuse me?
I know what happens next-- I'm more interested
in your state of mind at this mind.
What do you mean, my state of mind?
Your adrenaline's pumping,
the frustration of the locked door,
loss of time.
Were you more or less likely
to use lethal force? Hold on a second.
Are we debating lethal force here?
Really? Is that we're doing? Because this was textbook.
We both know real life doesn't do textbook.
Active shooter, currently shooting people.
We neutralize the threat before
the subject can take down more victims.
That's what your team failed to do.
It took you 37 minutes
to neutralize the threat,
and she took more lives.
It is a judgment call.
Whose judgment?
Your direct to threat, right?
Let's get the job done?
Who got hung up on profiling?
Who put a team member in a truck instead of
another gun at ground zero? You are off base.
Greg Parker.
My team did everything right...
This isn't about your team, Officer Lane.
Everything right today. This is about
whether or not My team-- excuse me.
Greg Parker is fit My team did
everything right today. to remain with this unit.
Are we done here?
Yeah, we're done. Thank you.
Where's Parker?
Sequestered. You can't go down there.
What?
That's what I thought.
She's gunning for you.
What are you doing here, Eddie? Get out of here.
She's out for blood, specifically yours.
I didn't do anything.
But right now you talking to me doesn't look good on paper.
I don't care. Something's wrong here. I care.
I care. We need to keep our T's crossed, okay?
Just get out of here.
Greg, is there something I should know?
Just go.
Let's compare lists, every name on Claire's lawsuit--
who's dead, who's safe outside and who's still missing inside.
I need updates, Bravo Team.
Perimeter's sealed. All stairways secured.
No movement possible in or out.
That's good. Alpha Team, what's your status?
East is still locked down.
Wordy and I have worked up from the south.
Okay, that's good.
Keep corralling Claire north.
She's running out of room to run now.
What did you say?
Jules, what did you say?
About what? About the boss
to SIU.
I just...
I just told her what happened,
that's all.
Same here.
And what did happen?
You were there. Yeah, I was,
but she's after something,
and it's not just the 37 minutes.
She finds a way to nail
the boss, and he's facing criminal charges.
What for?
Criminal charges? We did everything
by the book. What's the problem?
Are you sure? Yeah.
Aren't you?
Think the boss made a mistake?
No.
So what's going on?
Well, she's after him.
Why? Well, that's what we got to find out.
I think it's personal. Well, she was a cop--
someone's got to know her-- we'll track down her partner.
Have to track someone else down; her partner Brian's dead.
I could probably find a way to access her files.
Let's figure it out before she finds a way to frame him.
What is it?
I didn't mean anything negative.
What did you say?
I said that by his directive
to corral Claire into a corner,
we were also corralling her targets.
That's the only way we were gonna
save those people and stop that shooter.
I know that. It was the only choice.
It was a risk we had to take.
Well, maybe the SIU didn't agree.
INVESTIGATOR: And how many lives constitute
an acceptable risk?
Many factors need to be considered.
But there must be some standard,
some method to weighing your options.
Number risked versus number saved?
There's no arithmetic for this.
In a perfect world, no life would be sacrificed.
But in your experience, that doesn't happen much, does it?
I don't work in a perfect world, no.
If we do lose a life, it's only to save many more.
Jill, how you been?
You don't get to ask me that.
ED: Okay, guys, I want to know everything here.
She's been SIU just under a year.
Completed all the standard prep classes: constitutional law,
criminal code, Evidence Act, Coroner's Act... Her testimony's led
to the conviction of some bad apples.
Her SIU record's solid.
She was a cop for seven years.
Good performance reviews, promotions.
She rose through the ranks fast.
She was a training officer for guys applying to SIU.
Okay, I admit she was good-- so why'd she leave the force?
Maybe the same reason she took a two-year personal leave
and went traveling. After her partner died.
So what happened to Brian?
Come on, Spike, anything else?
The Brenton people Claire had meetings with
the weeks before her husband's death--
three of them are still in the building.
Okay, I want phone numbers.
Phone numbers from
the company directory coming at you.
Let's find these three people before Claire does.
You get that one. Yeah.
There were three targeted people
still inside the building.
All three gave me their location
via text message.
And? We told them to stay concealed
and that we were coming to get them.
Removing the targets to stop the killing. That's right.
We broke off into three teams for the retrieval.
Jules and Sam, Ed and Wordy,
you and... Spike. And we knew
that Claire would be in one of these three places.
WOMAN: She's not here.
Come out slowly, hands where we can see them.
What's your name?
Nora. Nora Pullan.
She's a target.
All right, we need a civilian escort.
You're gonna be just fine, ma'am.
An officer will escort you out of the building.
SAM: Okay, Bravo Team complete.
Sam, you join up with Ed and Wordy.
Jules, you come find me.
No. No.
Scott Williams?
No.
SCOTT: Please.
You don't need to do this.
I do. No one would listen to me.
Now maybe they will!
I have a family. So did I!
PARKER: Shots fired. Northeast direction.
(whispers): Boss?
No.
Eddie, Text Two is down.
We're headed your way. You got the ball.
CLAIRE: Blood... in his lungs.
He was literally drowning ED: We got a visual on the shooter.
every time he took a breath. Her gun is down.
She's talking with our Text Three.
That's a good sign. If Claire's
talking to him, maybe she'll talk to us.
Sam, hold cover. Wordy and I'll move in.
PARKER: Team One, do not engage until I get there.
Tell me again, how much is a life worth?
I-I don't know. I'll give you as much as you want.
(shouting): Wrong answer!
I don't...
want...
your money!
She's escalating.
I want you to pay!
Don't hurt him!
(yelling)
You comfortable with that, Sergeant Parker?
Playing roulette with other people's lives?
I think we should take a minute. We both need...
You ever think about how your belief
in everyone's inner goodness
actually puts more lives at risk?
If there's a chance to talk, it's my duty to take it.
You didn't let your team
take Claire down when you had the chance,
and you lost control of the situation.
I used my best judgment,
based on my instinct and my experience in the field.
I'm aware of your experience, Greg,
and your instincts.
I know you are.
Look, Jill, you can second- guess me all you want.
You can refer religiously to those transcripts,
but unless you were there in the room,
you can't know all the moving parts
of any situation.
Claire lowered her gun when the wife intervened.
It's my job to take that opportunity...
Claire, thank you for keeping your gun lowered.
Now, if you could just lay it down
on the ground for me, maybe we can work this out.
I don't need any more lies.
I'm not going to lie to you, Claire.
We both know
what's already happened here tonight,
but it doesn't mean it has to continue.
It doesn't mean it has to get worse.
Get out of the way.
No.
Move!
I said move!
And then the incident was resolved.
After 37 minutes, in which
you allowed your team to put lives at risk.
You know I didn't. And I will make sure
it never happens again. What are you going to charge me with, Jill?
This investigation isn't about today.
It is. It's about your judgment.
It's about your fitness as leader.
No, no.
(beep)
For you, this investigation is about Brian.
JULES: We found out
why Brian stopped being Jill's partner.
He made SRU.
She trained him?
Looks like it.
Her name's all over his performance reviews.
SAM: And his letter of recommendation.
You see the kicker?
Brian was on the boss's team.
JILL: You put Brian at risk.
In that spree shooting, you hesitated.
You gave that scumbag a chance to kill Brian, and he took it.
We did what we thought was right in the circumstance.
You believed the best of that scumbag.
You gambled with Brian's life.
You put him at risk unnecessarily
just like you did today. Jill.
Jill, I know you're in pain.
I know you want to blame me.
But I did not cause Brian's death.
You need to take responsibility.
You put the lives of your people in danger.
I'll prove it.
I'll prove that you should be charged
with criminal disregard of human life
and removed from duty.
I can let you believe what you believe.
It's probably easier to live with
than knowing the truth.
You came out of that museum tonight
after seeing...
after seeing that tragedy.
You came out, and you saw me, and all that outrage
and all that grief came up again,
and this was your chance to right a wrong for his sake.
I understand.
But I got to tell you something.
The night you lost Brian...
Hmm.
The night we lost Brian...
it's not what you think.
The time for negotiation was over.
I saw the signs, I called Scorpio, like I did tonight.
After Brian died.
No, Jill.
Before.
Brian hesitated.
What?
Tonight when I called Scorpio,
my shooter, Ed, responded immediately.
He took the shot.
And Brian didn't?
No.
It was Brian who hesitated?
(sighs)
That's not what it said in the report.
Reports and transcripts--
they don't tell the whole truth.
Brian was a good man.
I miss him, too.
And that night, he thought he could help.
Turns out, he couldn't.
Sometimes we can't help.
PARKER: Claire, you don't have to do this.
Ben's wife has nothing to do with Brenton. She's innocent.
Like your husband was innocent.
Innocent.
Innocent just means...
...acceptable risk.
Scorpio.
¶ ¶
We're done.
SIU will find
that Team One used clear judgment and appropriate force.
I'm sorry that you all had to go through this
after a night like tonight.
Thank you.
We did all we could tonight.
Hey,
I'm proud of all of you.
I'm damn proud to be a member of this team.
Yeah.
