Detective Calms Armed Child as Police Investigate Raffi Bowen

Julie! You need to put that gun down. Raffi left me in charge.

A kid. You have to leave. You need to put the gun down now. Put the gun down.

Hey, hey. Wait, wait, wait. Muzzles down. Muzzles down.

Muzzles down, muzzles down, muzzles down. It's all right.

Hey, it's just me. How do you know Raffi?

He's Jackie's boyfriend. Who's Jackie? My sister. Okay, okay. Give us a little space, all right?

Duff, get out of there. No, 'cause Raffi said that, um...

I'm sorry, what's your name again? Not Sam.

Cool. Raffi said that Not Sam is in charge, and he wants us to leave, so we're gonna leave.

Not until he puts the gun down. He's going to put it down when we leave.

No. Duff! Look, I don't care what you think you're supposed to do right now.

Drop your guns and back away. You don't have authority here, Duff. You boys are way too jacked up right now for my liking, and it's my arrest.

Well, there's a little boy in there with a gun, and another little boy.

I know that. Yeah. He could shoot himself in the foot. He could lose his foot.

You could lose your job. We could all lose our jobs, and our feet, or worse.

Hey. You're gonna have to step aside and let me handle this, all right?

Hey, hey, Bob, just give me two minutes, all right?

And if it doesn't work, you can do it your way.

Hey, can we talk a second? You can't come in.

I know. I'm gonna stay right here, okay? Is this okay?

You are doing a great job. You hear me? I mean, Raffi picked the right kid to watch his spot.

He did? You know, when I was your age, I was left in charge, too, but I was always scared.

I didn't have a gun. I had to learn to defend myself.

You know what I'm thinking? I'm thinking you could protect this whole place all on your own without that gun.

'Cause real heroes, they don't hurt people to get what they want, right?

And, and, and I know you're not trying to hurt anyone. I know that. I can tell that.

And no one here wants to see you hurt yourself.

So here's what I'm thinking. If you give me that gun, we'll make all this go away.

You promise? Yeah. I do. All right, careful not to point that at me.

Thank you. Hi. Hey, what is this? What's going on here?

It's an official police investigation. What's it about?

Do you live around here? No. No, no, no.

I was just driving by. Listen, I'd like to see my boy.

He, he must be so scared. He's with a social worker.

He should be with me. I'm his mother. Tiggy Sullivan.

Ms. Sullivan, I'm Detective Zazaca. Goddammit, Rick. You pulled a gun on the cops?

It's Jackie's fault for leaving him here. You brought him off on Jackie.

Hi. Yes. Can you take a seat, please? Take a seat. Who has custody of Saul?

Oh, that would be me. Rick's a recreational dad.

Look, I got called into work, all right? I didn't have a choice.

I've never knew anyone who worked so much and earned so little.

He does not need to be here. Good. Right. Of course.

Now she can ask me about Raffi Bowen. Mr. Gray, do you know Raffi Bowen?

Who's that? Jackie's new dude? Apparently. This week.

Never met him. Can I go see my son?

Don't think you're leaving here with Saul.

Ms. Sullivan, are you aware that Raffi Bowen is an affiliate of the Stockwood gang?

Raffi? No, he's not. Is he? You think I'd leave her alone with him if I knew that?

Can you please show me a photo of Jackie?

Your daughter was on the scene when we detained your son, and she didn't identify herself.

Can you please tell me where she is? I've been trying her.

She won't answer. And now the tears. I can't keep track of her.

It's hard to wrangle an 18-year-old. I know what it's like.

I have a 17-year-old son, so... The minute she calls, I'm gonna haul her ass in here.

You have my full cooperation. All right.

Can we have your number, please? Scorpio. Am I right?

Um, okay. Okay. 10/31/01? Yeah. It's not my- Must be a bitch being born on Halloween.

Candy or presents. Candy or presents. I don't think it.

I was born on December 25th. Jackie Sullivan, we're gonna need to talk about your boyfriend, Raffi Bowen.

I think you know more than you're telling me.

I don't. I swear I don't. You left a nine-year-old boy alone in Raffi's house with a gun.

Raffi was nice to Saul. I wouldn't have left him there if I knew he'd have kept a gun in his place.

Well, all I gotta say is your mom is pretty pissed. Mm-hmm.

Like, she was, like, the angriest mother that I've ever s- You know, she had a hard time getting a hold of you.

But we managed to find you pretty quickly collecting Raffi's backup stash. Yeah.

Do you know Raffi's brothers, Randy Bowen, Steph Bowen?

Yeah. His brothers are assholes. They don't get along.

But you and Raffi are tight, hmm? You cover for him, but he hangs you out to dry. I can't deal.

Why don't we just book her? Really? We can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves. I wasn't selling.

I was picking up his stuff. But the problem is Detective Law and Order here.

Facts are facts. Oh, my G- Yeah. That being said, though, Detective Lucy Goosey over here has been bending my ear about the discretionary nature of new world policing.

So, I mean, I don't know, maybe- Oh, wait. I'm sorry.

Are you saying that we should cut her a deal?

What I am saying is there is a world where Jackie could avoid five years jail time and a criminal record, you know, if she cooperated and helped us find Raffi.

What do you think? Uh, Jackie, I thought I was clear.

He has to meet at the parking lot at First and Dunlap, 7:00 PM. That's what I'm doing.

No, it's not what you're doing. Yeah. Pig is the parking garage behind the giant tiger on Dunlap and First.

Family Feud comes on at 7:00 PM. Duh. Oh, my God. Whatever.

He's never going to understand that. Mm, I think he did.

Hey, little Jack Jack. You got it? Raffi, you are so lucky I didn't flush this down the toilet.

Hey, I'm the one that's on the run here. Why don't you chill? Just give me the bag.

Right. What's your problem? You know that they pulled in Saul, right? Huh?

Big man. Couldn't help yourself when you saw my little brother get busted.

All right. All right. Look, I was younger than him the first time I held a piece.

Right. Right on. You just, you take your stash. I don't need this.

Great. Good, 'cause now I don't need you.

Unbelievable. This is unbelievable. Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

This is how you're gonna do me? What is she doing? This is how you're gonna- You told her to get cheesed. I've never met a bigger piece of garbage in my life. Okay, yeah. Just stop following me.

You told her to get cheesed. I've never met a bigger piece of garbage in my life. Okay, yeah. Just stop following me.

We're done. We are done. Don't worry, I know that.

And now I'm just looking for a thank you.

Thank you. You can't even say it. He won't say it.

I, I tried, man. Is that Rick? Asshole. Rick.

Rick, what are you doing with Raffi? They're the stepdad.

I knew I didn't like that guy. Raffi works for me. Well, what about the twins? I don't understand.

The twins, too. They all work for me. We're going in.

Ooh, let's go. Hey, hey, relax. I gotta go. I gotta go.

Jackie, get your ass back here right now. Jackie. Freeze! Freeze!

Let me see your hands! You, in the car. Out, now. Hands on your head.

Hands up. Now. Turn around. Raise your hands. Put your hands on your head. Yeah.

Hands up. Hands up. Turn around. Get your hands on your head.

Just work with us, all right? Oh, God. Saul.

Hold on. Jackie Sullivan, you're under arrest.

And that, my friends, is the beauty of fish.

They swim in schools. So if you catch one, you are gonna- Oh, God.

Can you just stop with that, please? It's not working. It's an analogy. It sucks.

Teamwork. Am I right? No. Let's go. Come on.

Come on. I didn't know Rick was involved.

I didn't know he was involved. You knew Raffi was dealing.

You think Raffi idolized Rick because he could weld a pipe?

Goddammit, Jackie, who knits you anyway?

You were getting a cut. Otherwise, my company would be tits up by now.

Then you go and blow it all up by handing Rick to the cops on a goddamn plate.

Yeah, because I would've been arrested. I am not going back to scrounging, rolling up nickels, or returning beer bottles for a goddamn loaf of bread.

Someone's gotta take Rick's place. No. No, no, no, no, no, Mom.

Mom, these guys, these people, they're scary.

Oh, no, baby. The scariest bear in the woods is the mama bear.

You come between her and her cubs, she'll eat you alive.
