00:00:16,874 --> 00:00:18,775
Fans of the Notorious B.I.G.
3
00:00:18,807 --> 00:00:20,874
said a final goodbye
to the rap star.
4
00:00:20,908 --> 00:00:22,875
There were tears
at the memorial service,
5
00:00:22,907 --> 00:00:25,107
but when the funeral procession
made its way
6
00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:28,007
to the streets of Brooklyn,
there were angry confrontations,
7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,774
even an explosion
of pepper spray.
8
00:00:32,140 --> 00:00:34,309
It was a solemn
homecoming tribute
9
00:00:34,341 --> 00:00:35,941
for the fallen rap icon,
10
00:00:35,974 --> 00:00:38,608
but it turned into pockets
of violent scuffling
11
00:00:38,642 --> 00:00:41,409
as police confronted
rowdy fans.
12
00:00:42,874 --> 00:00:45,409
Crowds began surging
against police barricades.
13
00:00:45,441 --> 00:00:47,575
Fans danced on top of cars.
14
00:00:47,608 --> 00:00:49,775
People were losing their cool.
15
00:00:49,808 --> 00:00:51,808
Suddenly, things were
out of control.
16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,874
BASED ON A TRUE STORY
17
00:00:53,908 --> 00:00:55,575
Police moved in, asking the fans
to disperse.
18
00:00:55,608 --> 00:00:57,042
But some of them resisted.
19
00:00:57,075 --> 00:01:00,741
- 18 MARCH, 1997
NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA
- Authorities used pepper spray
to break up the gathering.
20
00:01:00,773 --> 00:01:02,941
Before it was over,
10 people were arrested,
21
00:01:02,975 --> 00:01:04,875
most for disorderly conduct.
22
00:01:04,908 --> 00:01:07,642
People in Brooklyn
say cops used excessive force
23
00:01:07,675 --> 00:01:09,408
in handling the crowds.
24
00:01:09,441 --> 00:01:12,709
There were accusations of
brutality and insensitivity.
25
00:01:12,740 --> 00:01:14,974

but when I did, I lost
everything that mattered.
57
00:03:47,574 --> 00:03:49,875

00:03:49,907 --> 00:03:53,542

That's what I think! But we

72
00:04:34,041 --> 00:04:36,075
Tupac Shakur gave

to this frustrated,
rebellious generation.
74
00:04:38,707 --> 00:04:40,174
And then it was cashed in on

Death Row Records,

00:04:42,707 --> 00:04:45,508

Suge Knight.

On the East Coast,
a rapper with a smooth flow
78
00:04:57,574 --> 00:05:00,508
that went by Notorious B.I.G.
rose to prominence,
79
00:05:00,540 --> 00:05:04,141

Even though we was going
through our drama,
85
00:05:15,207 --> 00:05:16,974
I would never wish death
on nobody.
86
00:05:17,008 --> 00:05:18,707
And the East Coast/
West Coast thing
87
00:05:18,741 --> 00:05:20,108
is something the journalists
are making up
88
00:05:20,141 --> 00:05:22,375
just to get paid off it,
so it can drag out.
89
00:05:22,407 --> 00:05:25,408
In Vegas, shots were fired.
90
00:05:25,442 --> 00:05:27,209
Tupac was hit four times.
91
00:05:27,242 --> 00:05:29,375
Six months later,
police are investigating
92
00:05:29,407 --> 00:05:31,640
the shooting death
of rapper Biggie Smalls.
93
00:05:31,673 --> 00:05:33,141
He was gunned down...

00:05:33,174 --> 00:05:35,842
Who killed rapper
Notorious B.I.G.?
95
00:05:35,875 --> 00:05:38,442
And were LAPD officers involved?
96
00:05:38,473 --> 00:05:39,975
- LOS ANGELES
18 YEARS LATER
- The mystery of his murder
97
00:05:40,008 --> 00:05:42,409
has gone unsolved
for 18 years now.
98
00:05:42,442 --> 00:05:44,175
Neither Notorious B.I.G.'s
99
00:05:44,207 --> 00:05:45,874
or Tupac's murder
has been solved.
100
00:05:45,907 --> 00:05:47,408
Russell Poole headed up
101
00:05:47,441 --> 00:05:49,775
the investigation
into Biggie's murder in 1997.
102
00:05:49,808 --> 00:05:51,508
I'm Detective Russell Poole.
103
00:05:51,540 --> 00:05:53,841
Someone has lost
a family member
104
00:05:53,874 --> 00:05:57,909
and they deserve to, um...
to have the answers.
105
00:05:58,740 --> 00:06:02,507
I'm his mother. My son was shot.
106
00:06:02,541 --> 00:06:05,641
I would like to know why.
107
00:06:05,673 --> 00:06:08,174
Ms Wallace
would like to know why.
108
00:06:12,540 --> 00:06:14,808
I gotta be
the one to contain my power
109
00:06:14,841 --> 00:06:17,075
to, like, you know,
"They gotta be dead."
110
00:06:18,208 --> 00:06:24,142
I kinda realised
how powerful Tupac and I was,
111
00:06:24,174 --> 00:06:25,774
you know what I'm saying?
112
00:06:25,808 --> 00:06:29,975
Because... we two
individual people,
113
00:06:30,007 --> 00:06:34,041
we waged a coastal beef,
you know what I'm saying?
114
00:06:34,075 --> 00:06:36,275
One man against one man
115
00:06:36,308 --> 00:06:38,808
made a whole West Coast
hate a whole East Coast
116
00:06:38,841 --> 00:06:40,942
and vice versa,
you know what I'm saying?
117
00:06:40,974 --> 00:06:42,607
And that really bugged me out.
118
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,874
Like, yo, dude don't like me,
119
00:06:44,907 --> 00:06:47,474
so this whole coast
don't like me.
120
00:06:47,506 --> 00:06:49,007
You know what I'm saying?
121
00:06:49,041 --> 00:06:50,507
I knew it wasn't true.
122
00:06:50,541 --> 00:06:54,008
Or at least what I knew I was
getting blamed for wasn't true.
123
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,574
I can't speak for nothing else.
You know, I wasn't there.
124
00:06:56,607 --> 00:06:59,842
But I know what he was
blaming me for wasn't true.
125
00:06:59,875 --> 00:07:02,474
But what he thought was,
like, whoa.
126
00:07:02,507 --> 00:07:04,608
You know what I'm saying?
Kinda took me by...
127
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,074
I mean, even though
we was going through our drama,
128
00:07:07,107 --> 00:07:08,874
I would never wish death
on nobody...
129
00:07:08,908 --> 00:07:11,042
Can I help you?
130
00:07:11,074 --> 00:07:12,473
Whoa.
131
00:07:12,507 --> 00:07:15,607
Door was open. I knocked.
132
00:07:15,641 --> 00:07:17,041
I'm Darius Jackson.
133
00:07:17,075 --> 00:07:19,075
I wanted to talk to you
134
00:07:19,107 --> 00:07:21,674
about the murder
of Notorious B.I.G.
135
00:07:21,707 --> 00:07:24,075
- I'm a journalist.
- I know.
136
00:07:24,107 --> 00:07:26,507
Of course you're a journalist.
137
00:07:26,541 --> 00:07:27,941
Well, I've already stated
138
00:07:27,975 --> 00:07:30,875
that I would rather not
speak to any of you.
139
00:07:30,907 --> 00:07:33,242
So, thank you very much
for your time. Get out.
140
00:07:33,275 --> 00:07:36,508
18 years ago
I used an interview with you
141
00:07:36,541 --> 00:07:39,508
in a... in a news special
that I was doing called...
142
00:07:39,540 --> 00:07:41,141
..'East Versus West'.
143
00:07:41,174 --> 00:07:42,407
Yeah.
144
00:07:42,441 --> 00:07:43,942
It was terrible. It was awful.
145
00:07:43,974 --> 00:07:45,974
Your theory
was completely wrong.
146
00:07:46,008 --> 00:07:48,841
Yeah, well, the Peabodies would
disagree with you on that.
147
00:07:48,875 --> 00:07:51,041
- The Peabodies?
- Yes.
148
00:07:51,075 --> 00:07:55,974
So, you equate life and death
with a fuckin' award show?
149
00:07:56,908 --> 00:07:58,740
- How about I pay you?
- You'll what?
150
00:07:58,773 --> 00:08:01,242
- Pay you.
- You'll pay me?
151
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,874
Get out of my sight.
152
00:08:03,908 --> 00:08:06,209
What I should do is knock
your fuckin' teeth out.
153
00:08:06,242 --> 00:08:08,908
Then I have to call the police,
don't I, Detective?
154
00:08:08,941 --> 00:08:11,373
Oh, and do you trust
that they would come here
155
00:08:11,407 --> 00:08:12,807
and do their job for you?
156
00:08:12,841 --> 00:08:15,874
I did my job, didn't I?
I found you.
157
00:08:15,908 --> 00:08:19,440
White guy shoots and kills
a black guy. Who's at fault?
158
00:08:20,540 --> 00:08:22,740
- Are you threatening me?
- No.
159
00:08:22,773 --> 00:08:25,975
No. It's a riddle.
160
00:08:26,008 --> 00:08:30,474
White guy shoots
and kills a black guy.
161
00:08:30,506 --> 00:08:31,907
Who's at fault?
162
00:08:31,940 --> 00:08:34,075
I don't know.
163
00:08:34,108 --> 00:08:38,109
The answer is,
"Ask more questions."
164
00:08:38,940 --> 00:08:41,176
What does this
have to do with Biggie?
165
00:08:42,907 --> 00:08:45,175
That's what I thought.
166
00:08:45,208 --> 00:08:46,874
Shoo.
167
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,640
Next time knock, please.
168
00:08:56,673 --> 00:08:58,075
I did knock.
169
00:09:06,075 --> 00:09:08,108
What the fuck?
170
00:09:17,340 --> 00:09:20,340
- AWN HEADQUARTERS,
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES
I have two
journalistic creeds.
171
00:09:20,374 --> 00:09:24,474

174
00:09:30,907 --> 00:09:34,240
Remember,
we are a news organisation.
175
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,408
Which brings us to
my second journalistic creed.
176
00:09:39,908 --> 00:09:43,408
There is no bias in facts.
177
00:09:43,441 --> 00:09:47,074
It is possible you will find
success while you are young,
178
00:09:47,108 --> 00:09:51,375
which would be unlucky because
you wouldn't learn patience.
179
00:09:59,707 --> 00:10:02,373
How goes the Biggie
retrospective?
180
00:10:02,406 --> 00:10:04,473
I met Russell Poole today.
181
00:10:04,507 --> 00:10:06,808
Still on the Wallace case.
182
00:10:06,841 --> 00:10:09,675
As a citizen,
he's got a war room
183
00:10:09,708 --> 00:10:11,508
with... with all kinds
of evidence
184
00:10:11,540 --> 00:10:13,340
tacked up on the walls.
185
00:10:13,374 --> 00:10:15,274
Sad.
186
00:10:15,306 --> 00:10:18,440
Yeah, well, that can
happen when a person
187
00:10:18,474 --> 00:10:21,308
rests their entire reputation
on a single case.
188
00:10:21,341 --> 00:10:24,575
You made a hell of a name
for yourself,
189
00:10:24,608 --> 00:10:26,207
but you fucked up.
190
00:10:26,241 --> 00:10:29,108
Biggie did not pay
for the hit on Tupac.
191
00:10:29,141 --> 00:10:31,408
You know, so get it right
this time.
192
00:10:31,441 --> 00:10:35,308
Just don't waste your time
with Russell Poole, right?
193
00:10:35,341 --> 00:10:39,441
'Cause his 'X-Files' theories
have been debunked.
194
00:10:39,473 --> 00:10:41,375
Danny, I'll get this.
195
00:10:42,773 --> 00:10:44,440
Drink up.
196
00:10:59,473 --> 00:11:01,707
If you feel
your life's in danger,
197
00:11:01,740 --> 00:11:03,440
why are you talking to us?
198
00:11:03,473 --> 00:11:07,507
'Cause, man, I mean, you know,
if Biggie was my son...
199
00:11:07,541 --> 00:11:11,173
I mean, if I get got and
somebody could help my mom,
200
00:11:11,206 --> 00:11:13,974
I would hope
they would do the right thing.
201
00:11:14,007 --> 00:11:15,740
So that's what
I'm trying to do now.
202
00:11:15,774 --> 00:11:18,274
Don't shoot.
203
00:11:18,306 --> 00:11:20,273
Hey. There he is.
204
00:11:20,307 --> 00:11:22,741
- You expecting me?
- Oh, absolutely.
205
00:11:22,773 --> 00:11:25,808
You know, you're a pretty
predictable kind of guy.
206
00:11:27,174 --> 00:11:29,575
I can't trust nobody.
I'm running for my life.
207
00:11:29,607 --> 00:11:32,107
- Who's that on the TV?
- Doesn't matter.
208
00:11:32,140 --> 00:11:36,809
How do you make sense
of all of this... this...
209
00:11:37,875 --> 00:11:39,942
..unorganised bullshit?
210
00:11:42,341 --> 00:11:46,141
That's my son's.
He plays shortstop for the Fins.
211
00:11:46,940 --> 00:11:49,740
Got any more asinine questions
you'd like to ask?
212
00:11:49,773 --> 00:11:52,574
Detective Poole,
I know you care about this case.
213
00:11:52,607 --> 00:11:56,507
But you know the LAPD refuted
both our theories, right?
214
00:11:56,540 --> 00:11:59,674
Doesn't mean mine wasn't right.
215
00:11:59,707 --> 00:12:01,740
- So, who shot Biggie Smalls?
- Oh, no, no, no.
216
00:12:01,774 --> 00:12:04,274
- No, you put that away.
- Who shot Biggie Smalls?
217
00:12:04,306 --> 00:12:06,674
Put that away.
218
00:12:06,708 --> 00:12:08,774
- Whoa, whoa. Slow down.
- Put it away.
219
00:12:08,807 --> 00:12:10,841
You ask permission.
220
00:12:10,874 --> 00:12:13,073
Wrong with you?
221
00:12:13,106 --> 00:12:15,941
You're a real pain in the ass,
you know that?
222
00:12:18,106 --> 00:12:21,941
Perfect goddamn stranger
walks into my house
223
00:12:21,975 --> 00:12:23,575
like it's nothing.
224
00:12:23,608 --> 00:12:25,741
I let you walk in today.
225
00:12:25,774 --> 00:12:27,942
And you try and point
that camera at me.
226
00:12:27,975 --> 00:12:30,308
You don't even ask?
You have no respect?
227
00:12:30,341 --> 00:12:33,441
I don't want to be here any more
than you want me to be here.
228
00:12:33,474 --> 00:12:36,073
You tell me who shot Biggie
and I'll leave.
229
00:12:36,106 --> 00:12:39,208
Let's get this straight -
when you speak to me about him,
230
00:12:39,241 --> 00:12:43,641
you refer to him as Christopher
or Mr Wallace.
231
00:12:43,674 --> 00:12:45,341
You owe him that.
232
00:12:46,908 --> 00:12:49,040
Detective Poole,
233
00:12:49,074 --> 00:12:53,708
I'm the only one who's crawling
up the asshole of L.A.
234
00:12:53,741 --> 00:12:55,074
to talk to you.
235
00:12:55,106 --> 00:12:57,273
And I promise you,
I'm the last one
236
00:12:57,306 --> 00:12:59,507
who's ever gonna ask you
the question.
237
00:13:00,540 --> 00:13:06,941
Who shot Christopher Wallace?
238
00:13:10,173 --> 00:13:13,407
- I don't know.
- You don't know?
239
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,140
You spent the last 20 years
in this dank apartment.
240
00:13:17,174 --> 00:13:19,441
What, on a...
on a "I don't know"?
241
00:13:23,674 --> 00:13:25,508
I had a theory.
242
00:13:26,507 --> 00:13:30,908
And my investigation was
ripped out from underneath me.
243
00:13:32,907 --> 00:13:35,006
See all this stuff
you called, er...
244
00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:38,040
..I believe it was
"unorganised bullshit"?
245
00:13:38,073 --> 00:13:39,774
Dots.
246
00:13:39,807 --> 00:13:42,241
That's 20-plus years of dots.
247
00:13:44,206 --> 00:13:47,775
I'm very, very good
at connecting dots.

You can't
hide from the truth.
265
00:15:13,808 --> 00:15:17,208
That truth needs to expose.
266
00:15:24,974 --> 00:15:27,107
This damn man
plotting shit, I know.
267
00:15:27,140 --> 00:15:28,541
He's threatening people.
268
00:15:28,573 --> 00:15:32,141
This is just basically
an autobiography of myself.

Hey...

Excuse me, ladies.
No disrespect.
271
00:15:39,673 --> 00:15:41,474
Is it cool
if I get his autograph?
272
00:15:41,507 --> 00:15:42,808
Yo, I'm your hugest fan, Big.
273
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,906
- You mind signing this for me?
- No problem.

00:15:44,940 --> 00:15:46,842
Hey, I stay up with

Thank you, man. For real.

There is not a day that goes by

00:15:56,473 --> 00:15:58,574
that I don't miss my son.
280
00:16:14,906 --> 00:16:17,073
911, emergency.
What are you reporting?
281
00:16:17,106 --> 00:16:18,441
Yeah, we need
an ambulance
282
00:16:18,474 --> 00:16:20,874
on Fifth after Wilshire,
please, in Los Angeles.
283
00:16:20,906 --> 00:16:22,973
We got a man shot.
We have a... shot.
284
00:16:23,007 --> 00:16:24,408
OK, hold on, I'll...
285
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,507
Right on the corner
of Wilshire and Fifth Ave.
286
00:16:28,139 --> 00:16:30,107
We need it on Wilshire
and Fifth Avenue.
287
00:16:30,140 --> 00:16:32,608
24-year-old rap artist
Notorious B.I.G.,
288
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,240
Christopher Wallace,
was shot early Sunday morning
289
00:16:35,274 --> 00:16:37,107
and later died
of gunshot wounds...
290
00:16:37,139 --> 00:16:40,074
How long until you got
to the scene of the shooting?
291
00:16:40,107 --> 00:16:42,074
A month.
292
00:16:43,441 --> 00:16:45,708
- One month.
- Hmm.
293
00:16:45,741 --> 00:16:48,508
Oh, no, no, no.
You don't cheat, no.
294
00:16:48,541 --> 00:16:50,508
Think.
295
00:16:50,540 --> 00:16:52,441
Don't write, think.
296
00:16:54,507 --> 00:16:57,106
Why did it take you a month
to get on the case?
297
00:16:57,139 --> 00:16:59,074
'Cause I was on
a different case.
298
00:16:59,107 --> 00:17:01,041
White cop shot a black cop.
299
00:17:07,906 --> 00:17:09,473
Drop it now!
300
00:17:09,506 --> 00:17:12,608
- I'm a fuckin' cop.
- Shit. This guy's got a badge.
301
00:17:12,641 --> 00:17:14,475
He drew down on me!
302
00:17:16,608 --> 00:17:18,374
Let's go. Get in there now.
303
00:17:18,406 --> 00:17:20,840
We're here, Frank.
We got you, man.
304
00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:22,873
Report a man down.
305
00:17:23,707 --> 00:17:25,207
Gun! We got a gun!
306
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,141
Get in there and help.
Get in there.
307
00:17:28,173 --> 00:17:29,474
You see it?
308
00:17:32,973 --> 00:17:34,374
Fuckin' drew down on me.
309
00:17:34,406 --> 00:17:36,806
- You heard that on the two-way?
- I did. We're good.
310
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,241
Hey, boss,
look at this.
311
00:17:38,274 --> 00:17:40,441
Drew down on me
at the fuckin' light over there.
312
00:17:40,474 --> 00:17:42,874
I was just sittin' there.
Fuckin' drew down on me.
313
00:17:42,906 --> 00:17:45,708
Listen, Frank.
We checked his pockets, man.
314
00:17:45,739 --> 00:17:48,140
This guy's a cop.
315
00:17:53,307 --> 00:17:55,774
White guy
shoots and kills a black guy.
316
00:17:55,806 --> 00:17:57,473
- Who's at fault?
- Who was the aggressor?
317
00:17:57,506 --> 00:18:01,541
Doesn't matter. Ghost of Rodney
King still haunted the city.
318
00:18:01,573 --> 00:18:05,575
So there was, like... there was
only one way this was gonna end.
319
00:18:06,474 --> 00:18:09,907
And I was the only idiot
to think otherwise.
320
00:18:38,474 --> 00:18:42,074
In 1997,
everybody thought the LAPD
321
00:18:42,106 --> 00:18:45,907
was filled with only one thing -
racist cops.
322
00:18:45,939 --> 00:18:49,574
But it wasn't.
It also had politicians.
323
00:18:49,608 --> 00:18:50,773
Thank you.
324
00:18:50,807 --> 00:18:53,806
Got yourself a genuine cluster
of fuck, Russ.
325
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,707
Two LAPD went Wild West
in daylight.
326
00:18:57,740 --> 00:19:00,141
Shots were fired
at the intersection.
327
00:19:00,174 --> 00:19:03,575
- Witnesses?
- Got too goddamn many of them.
328
00:19:03,607 --> 00:19:07,540
Our shooter is, uh,
undercover detective Frank Lyga.
329
00:19:07,573 --> 00:19:09,874
Claims self-defence.
330
00:19:09,906 --> 00:19:13,440
The deceased
is Officer Kevin Gaines.
331
00:19:13,474 --> 00:19:15,041
Where's Officer Lyga now?
332
00:19:15,073 --> 00:19:16,873
They're holding him
across the street for you
333
00:19:16,907 --> 00:19:19,040
in that burger fuckin' joint.
334
00:19:20,007 --> 00:19:23,308
Cross the 'T's
and dot the 'I's.
335
00:19:23,341 --> 00:19:24,541
Yeah, yeah.
336
00:19:24,573 --> 00:19:26,373
The brass will have our asses
337
00:19:26,407 --> 00:19:30,007
if any part of this
comes back murky, OK?
338
00:19:30,039 --> 00:19:32,575
- Yes, sir.
- Alright, 'bye.
339
00:19:39,672 --> 00:19:41,575
Excuse me.
340
00:19:41,607 --> 00:19:43,774
Who's detective supervisor?
341
00:19:43,806 --> 00:19:45,240
I'm the detective supervisor.
342
00:19:45,273 --> 00:19:48,673
- How do you do? Russell Poole.
- Russell. Nice to meet you.
343
00:19:48,706 --> 00:19:51,307
Can you bring Detective Lyga
to me, please?
344
00:19:51,341 --> 00:19:53,008
OK. Yeah, you got it.
345
00:19:53,806 --> 00:19:56,407
Hey, Gary?
346
00:19:56,441 --> 00:19:57,774
Gary?
347
00:19:57,807 --> 00:19:59,606
- Gary!
- Yeah.
348
00:20:00,406 --> 00:20:03,407
Look. You've got
a surveillance camera there.
349
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,873
Got another one over there.
350
00:20:04,907 --> 00:20:06,706
Get photographs of those for me.
351
00:20:06,740 --> 00:20:09,275
- Julie!
- Right here.
352
00:20:10,707 --> 00:20:13,441
Could you see if you can
recover any casings
353
00:20:13,474 --> 00:20:15,973
from the intersection there?
354
00:20:44,973 --> 00:20:47,174
1-King-51 to Control.
355
00:20:48,074 --> 00:20:50,241
King-51, go ahead.
356
00:20:50,274 --> 00:20:55,441
I need a DMV
on a green Mitsubishi Montero.
357
00:20:55,473 --> 00:20:59,440
Licence number is 2-Adam-Boy
358
00:20:59,474 --> 00:21:03,108
Mary-5-4-3.
359
00:21:03,906 --> 00:21:05,906
- Lyga?
- Yeah.
360
00:21:05,940 --> 00:21:07,807
Detective Russell Poole.
361
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,874
Did you identify yourself
as an officer?
362
00:21:10,907 --> 00:21:14,040
Think I'm dropping
three years undercover
363
00:21:14,073 --> 00:21:16,407
for some bullshit road rage?
364
00:21:16,441 --> 00:21:20,507
He identified himself,
throwing up his set.
365
00:21:20,540 --> 00:21:21,941
Flashing Blood 'B's at me,
366
00:21:21,974 --> 00:21:23,441
saying he's gonna
fuckin' cap my ass
367
00:21:23,473 --> 00:21:25,673
in the middle
of the fuckin' intersection.
368
00:21:25,707 --> 00:21:29,308
Look, I drove away. Ask my crew.
369
00:21:29,341 --> 00:21:31,207
He chased me, man.
370
00:21:31,241 --> 00:21:35,341
He caught me, raised up,
and I shot in fuckin' defence.
371
00:21:36,806 --> 00:21:38,873
That motherfucker is not LAPD.
372
00:21:38,907 --> 00:21:42,007
He is a straight-up
fuckin' banger, I shit you not.
373
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,539
King 51, we have your DMV info.
374
00:21:45,573 --> 00:21:48,408
The vehicle belongs
to a business in Tarzana.
375
00:21:50,373 --> 00:21:52,073
Advise?
376
00:21:52,107 --> 00:21:56,774
Officer Gaines's Montero is
registered to Death Row Records.
377
00:21:56,806 --> 00:21:58,240
Repeat, please?
378
00:21:58,274 --> 00:22:01,773
Officer Gaines's Montero is
registered to Death Row Records.
379
00:22:01,807 --> 00:22:03,907
And this is nine days
380
00:22:03,940 --> 00:22:05,739
after the Christopher Wallace
murder.
381
00:22:05,773 --> 00:22:07,408
And not one arrest.
382
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,873
Not one.
383
00:22:09,907 --> 00:22:13,941

think he gonna roll up here?

00:23:55,839 --> 00:23:57,574
OK, OK. I'm a police officer.
417
00:23:57,607 --> 00:23:59,807
I don't want any trouble.
There are children present.
418
00:23:59,839 --> 00:24:02,506
- White boy!
- I don't...
419
00:24:02,540 --> 00:24:04,774
- I just...
- Roll up.
420
00:24:04,807 --> 00:24:07,874
- They killed him.
- Thank you. 'Bye.
421
00:24:07,906 --> 00:24:10,340
The police are here now.
422
00:24:10,373 --> 00:24:13,639
They killed my husband.
They killed him.
423
00:24:13,673 --> 00:24:16,308
Officer Kevin Gaines.
Cop killers.
424
00:24:16,340 --> 00:24:19,307
What makes you say that
they killed your husband?
425
00:24:19,340 --> 00:24:23,241
Kevin used to do security
for that murdering-ass nigga.
426
00:24:23,274 --> 00:24:25,840
He probably saw something
he shouldn't have seen.
427
00:24:25,874 --> 00:24:29,540
And they killed him.
428
00:24:36,639 --> 00:24:39,006
The car
was riddled with bullets,
429
00:24:39,039 --> 00:24:41,340
leaving him so badly wounded
that he was pronounced dead
430
00:24:41,372 --> 00:24:43,940
at the nearby
Cedars-Sinai hospital.
431
00:24:43,974 --> 00:24:45,773
A very tragic event
432
00:24:45,807 --> 00:24:47,472
that has similarities
to another shooting,
433
00:24:47,506 --> 00:24:50,141
but there were a lot of people
that were in the area
434
00:24:50,173 --> 00:24:52,706
and we're hopeful that
someone will come forward
435
00:24:52,740 --> 00:24:56,841
and give us information so that
we can, er, solve this case.
436
00:24:56,874 --> 00:24:58,873
- There you go.
- Thank you very much.
437
00:24:58,907 --> 00:25:00,874
Appreciate it.
438
00:25:00,907 --> 00:25:03,141
You know other cops have
come around asking for this?
439
00:25:03,174 --> 00:25:06,107
Thank you for hanging onto it.
440
00:25:11,406 --> 00:25:12,840
What, Poole, huh?
441
00:25:12,874 --> 00:25:14,307
What the fuck's so important
442
00:25:14,339 --> 00:25:16,339
I gotta come out here
in a fuckin' monsoon?
443
00:25:16,373 --> 00:25:19,006
I didn't want to discuss this
in the station.
444
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:21,840
Why are other officers
trying to acquire this tape?
445
00:25:21,873 --> 00:25:23,306
This is my investigation.
446
00:25:23,339 --> 00:25:26,141
Come on, Poole, get ready
for every black cop in L.A.
447
00:25:26,173 --> 00:25:28,106
to come looking over
your shoulder, huh?
448
00:25:28,140 --> 00:25:30,440
Bad fuckin' time for optics.
449
00:25:30,473 --> 00:25:32,840
By the way,
I met Gaines's wife last night
450
00:25:32,874 --> 00:25:35,373
under rather unpleasant
circumstances.
451
00:25:35,405 --> 00:25:38,906
She pulled up
in a $200,000 Mercedes,
452
00:25:38,939 --> 00:25:40,806
said he was working
for Death Row.
453
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,241
Are you kidding me?
454
00:25:42,272 --> 00:25:44,740
Four white cops
beat Rodney King.
455
00:25:44,772 --> 00:25:46,472
Look at the big picture.
456
00:25:46,506 --> 00:25:49,506
Gaines was a violent hothead.
457
00:25:49,540 --> 00:25:51,373
A lot of them are.
458
00:25:51,406 --> 00:25:53,339
A lot of who are?
459
00:25:58,505 --> 00:26:00,439
The jungle bunnies.
460
00:26:00,473 --> 00:26:01,607
Huh?
461
00:26:01,639 --> 00:26:04,272
Gaines buried himself.
462
00:26:04,306 --> 00:26:07,474
There's no need for us
to dig for more dirt.
463
00:26:08,372 --> 00:26:11,006
What's the word
on the Wallace case?
464
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,239
The word is it's not your case.
465
00:26:14,272 --> 00:26:17,906
You're South Bureau, and that's
Robbery-Homicide's case.
466
00:26:17,939 --> 00:26:20,175
Focus on your own.
467
00:27:05,106 --> 00:27:07,073
Figured white detective
468
00:27:07,107 --> 00:27:09,507
crazy enough to roll up
on Death Row
469
00:27:09,540 --> 00:27:11,507
might wanna know something.
470
00:27:12,506 --> 00:27:14,506
I have a weapon.
471
00:27:18,772 --> 00:27:21,440
I'm Special Agent
Terrence Watts.
472
00:27:21,472 --> 00:27:23,306
FBI.
473
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,173
FBI infiltrated Death Row
about a year ago.
474
00:27:29,205 --> 00:27:31,073
I've barely made it
to the outer rim,
475
00:27:31,106 --> 00:27:33,640
so I just mainly hear rumours.
476
00:27:33,672 --> 00:27:36,773
But I can, 100%, confirm this.
477
00:27:36,807 --> 00:27:41,007
Suge Knight has LAPD
in his inner circle.
478
00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:43,172
I'm talking
straight-up mobster shit.
479
00:27:43,206 --> 00:27:46,041
- Officer Gaines was one of them?
- He advised on protocol.
480
00:27:46,073 --> 00:27:48,874
Monitoring police scanners
when they rode dirty.
481
00:27:48,906 --> 00:27:51,973
Coordinating how to use
walkie-talkies.
482
00:27:52,939 --> 00:27:54,372
Listen, this is something
483
00:27:54,406 --> 00:27:57,074
that I would not risk
my cover for just yet.
484
00:27:57,107 --> 00:28:01,507
But they're saying,
"We got Biggie."
485
00:28:02,739 --> 00:28:05,907
And Officer Gaines
was an accessory.
486
00:28:09,973 --> 00:28:13,908
- APRIL 1997
LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT - 6TH FLOOR
487
00:28:23,173 --> 00:28:25,540
I got a problem.
488
00:28:25,572 --> 00:28:27,573
Black guy in a green jeep
on my ass.
489
00:28:31,139 --> 00:28:34,174
I need you guys.
Think he's got a gun.
490
00:28:39,973 --> 00:28:42,206
Hey, you wanna
look, talk shit and run?
491
00:28:42,239 --> 00:28:45,840
Look at this, motherfucker.
492
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,473
I just shot
somebody. I need help.
493
00:28:56,506 --> 00:29:01,041
After you shot Officer Gaines,
what went through your mind?
494
00:29:01,072 --> 00:29:03,307
What went through my mind?
495
00:29:05,339 --> 00:29:07,239
"Good."
496
00:29:08,039 --> 00:29:10,841
Obviously, you've never had
the service end of a handgun
497
00:29:10,873 --> 00:29:12,573
pointed at your face.
498
00:29:12,607 --> 00:29:14,472
Excuse me?
499
00:29:14,505 --> 00:29:17,339
I might remind you, you're
speaking to a superior officer.
500
00:29:17,373 --> 00:29:18,774
Not in this room, I'm not.
501
00:29:18,806 --> 00:29:20,907
I know my rights.
502
00:29:20,939 --> 00:29:23,639
In here I face
civilian consequences
503
00:29:23,673 --> 00:29:25,740
and I'm afforded
civilian rights.
504
00:29:26,539 --> 00:29:29,739
I got a two-and-a-half
and a one-year-old at home.
505
00:29:29,773 --> 00:29:33,941
A man raised a gun to kill me
and I was faster.
506
00:29:33,973 --> 00:29:36,807
For that, I say, "Good"...
507
00:29:38,073 --> 00:29:39,974
..sir.
508
00:29:43,173 --> 00:29:47,340
Detective Poole, do you have
any additional evidence
509
00:29:47,372 --> 00:29:51,407
to refute or strengthen
Detective Lyga's assertion
510
00:29:51,439 --> 00:29:56,440
that Officer Gaines
acted in a matter unbecoming?
511
00:29:59,273 --> 00:30:04,007
Nothing as yet
that I can prove, Lieutenant.
512
00:30:08,206 --> 00:30:10,007
Come here.
513
00:30:22,006 --> 00:30:25,140
What the fuck was that, hmm?
514
00:30:25,172 --> 00:30:28,973
I happen to strongly believe
that Gaines was into much more.
515
00:30:29,005 --> 00:30:33,507
I don't give a fuckin' shit,
Columbo.
516
00:30:33,539 --> 00:30:35,640
We're not Internal Affairs.
517
00:30:35,672 --> 00:30:39,206
What were you gonna do?
Arrest him? He's fuckin' dead!
518
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,240
The facts point
to something more here.
519
00:30:41,272 --> 00:30:43,440
Oh, drop the boy-scout
bullshit, Russ!
520
00:30:43,472 --> 00:30:46,873
I asked you not to complicate
a simple fuckin' case.
521
00:30:46,907 --> 00:30:48,507
Lyga's cleared.
522
00:30:48,540 --> 00:30:49,941
He's probably on his way home
523
00:30:49,973 --> 00:30:51,972
to have a fuckin'
Pabst Blue Ribbon.
524
00:30:52,006 --> 00:30:53,707
You're fucked off
525
00:30:53,739 --> 00:30:57,439
because you didn't get a soapbox
to wax lyrical about the shield.
526
00:30:57,473 --> 00:31:01,440
I don't ever want to hear about
this fuckin' case again.
527
00:31:02,707 --> 00:31:04,908
You hear me, Detective?
528
00:31:07,607 --> 00:31:09,574
So, what's it gonna take?
529
00:31:14,406 --> 00:31:16,407
So you scammed your way up?
530
00:31:16,439 --> 00:31:18,706
No, no. I don't scam.
531
00:31:19,505 --> 00:31:23,440
I do. And that's how you do it,
exactly what you did.
532
00:31:23,472 --> 00:31:24,906
Let me tell you something.
533
00:31:25,936 --> 00:31:28,307
Every detective in America
wants on Robbery-Homicide,
534
00:31:28,339 --> 00:31:30,106
and I was certainly
no different.
535
00:31:30,138 --> 00:31:32,206
I mean, that's
the major leagues.
536
00:31:32,239 --> 00:31:34,306
But, no, you don't scam
your way in.
537
00:31:34,340 --> 00:31:38,707
You get in by being
the best at one thing.
538
00:31:38,740 --> 00:31:40,906
Solving murders. That's...
539
00:31:40,939 --> 00:31:42,674

That's right. Chief of Police.

Welcome to the big time, Poole.
553
00:32:16,972 --> 00:32:19,574

- In what?
554
00:32:19,606 --> 00:32:22,172
- In golf?
- No, in life. Yes, in golf.

"with over 500 crime scenes

558
00:32:31,206 --> 00:32:34,173
Well, fuck me, I didn't know
we promoted on merit anymore.
559
00:32:34,205 --> 00:32:36,472
I'll just assume
you know what you're doing.
560
00:32:36,505 --> 00:32:38,872
- I do, sir.
- No, no 'sir'.
561
00:32:38,905 --> 00:32:40,406
Fred or Miller.
562
00:32:40,439 --> 00:32:42,607
You're now
a Robbery-Homicide detective.
563
00:32:42,639 --> 00:32:44,439
We get the city's
highest-profile cases,
564
00:32:44,473 --> 00:32:46,073
but we don't act like Marines.
565
00:32:46,106 --> 00:32:47,774
This is Homicide.
This is Lefferts.
566
00:32:47,807 --> 00:32:49,507
She's a pretty good detective.
567
00:32:49,539 --> 00:32:50,939
And this is Snow.
568
00:32:50,973 --> 00:32:52,906
Bit of a dummy,
can't hit a softball either.
569
00:32:52,938 --> 00:32:54,339
This is Bank Detail over here.
570
00:32:54,372 --> 00:32:57,906
And through this door...
571
00:32:59,739 --> 00:33:01,573
..you are now investigating
572
00:33:01,607 --> 00:33:03,873
the murder of
The Notorious B.I.G.
573
00:33:07,972 --> 00:33:10,339
Don't feed into it.
574
00:33:10,372 --> 00:33:13,706
If you feed into it,
it's gonna end up escalating.
575
00:33:13,740 --> 00:33:15,140
You know what I'm saying?
576
00:33:15,173 --> 00:33:17,105
OK, according to
initial police reports,
577
00:33:17,139 --> 00:33:19,906
12:49am six shots are fired.
578
00:33:21,906 --> 00:33:23,806
Los Angeles police
are investigating
579
00:33:23,838 --> 00:33:26,272
the shooting death
of rapper Notorious B.I.G.
580
00:33:26,306 --> 00:33:28,872
Bullet casings
were found on the scene.
581
00:33:28,906 --> 00:33:32,307
Geco 9mms.
They're German manufacture.
582
00:33:32,339 --> 00:33:34,173
Gecos.
583
00:33:34,205 --> 00:33:35,839
Very rare.
584
00:33:35,873 --> 00:33:38,006
Ballistics is checking
for extractor marks
585
00:33:38,038 --> 00:33:39,606
and we've got Fingerprints
586
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,541
looking for fingerprints
on these.
587
00:33:42,639 --> 00:33:43,740
Four shots hit Wallace.
588
00:33:43,772 --> 00:33:45,873
Two bullets were recovered
from the body.
589
00:33:45,905 --> 00:33:47,839
The fourth was the kill shot,
590
00:33:47,872 --> 00:33:50,806
striking the left lung,
liver, heart.
591
00:33:52,306 --> 00:33:55,207
The shooter's vehicle
was a dark sedan.
592
00:33:55,239 --> 00:33:57,539
Dark-coloured.
Green, possibly black.
593
00:33:57,573 --> 00:33:59,674
Some witnesses say
it was a Caprice,
594
00:33:59,707 --> 00:34:01,339
but most of the witnesses think
595
00:34:01,372 --> 00:34:04,139
it was a Chevy Impala SS,
a Super Sport.
596
00:34:04,173 --> 00:34:08,040
This is a surveillance
photo, the night of the murder.
597
00:34:08,073 --> 00:34:09,872
Same car.
598
00:34:09,906 --> 00:34:11,139
Two composite sketches,
599
00:34:11,173 --> 00:34:13,407
one done in Los Angeles,
the other done in New York
600
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,940
when the LAPD went there
to interview the witnesses
601
00:34:15,972 --> 00:34:18,506
about the Petersen on March 9.
602
00:34:18,540 --> 00:34:20,440
And lastly, we got CIs.
603
00:34:20,473 --> 00:34:22,839
We've got a county
full of confidential informants
604
00:34:22,872 --> 00:34:25,206
crawling out of the woodwork
to give us information.
605
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,072
These rats are crawling out
of the sewer, for God's sake.
606
00:34:28,106 --> 00:34:31,940
So, in short,
we've got hundreds of leads.
607
00:34:32,838 --> 00:34:34,940
We've got hundreds
and hundreds of leads.
608
00:34:34,972 --> 00:34:37,039
So you don't tell
your partner about Death Row
609
00:34:37,073 --> 00:34:39,674
having Gaines and other cops
on the payroll?
610
00:34:39,707 --> 00:34:43,906
At that point, I didn't know
Miller or how he would react.
611
00:34:43,938 --> 00:34:47,907
So no. No, I didn't...
I didn't tell him.
612
00:34:49,540 --> 00:34:54,140
I knew if the Gaines tip was
legit, it would come up again.

You know, one day this shit's
not gonna work.
624
00:35:20,139 --> 00:35:23,507
I couldn't wait to congratulate
you on your early release.
625
00:35:23,540 --> 00:35:26,573
- And you're welcome, by the way.
- Who the fuck is this?
626
00:35:26,606 --> 00:35:28,072
Psycho Mike,
this is Detective Poole.
627
00:35:28,106 --> 00:35:30,905
He's new, so he's nobody,
but he's delighted.
628
00:35:30,938 --> 00:35:34,039
- How did Suge settle in prison?
- I have no fuckin' idea.
629
00:35:34,073 --> 00:35:36,574
Mike, we're boys, huh?
630
00:35:36,607 --> 00:35:37,940
Hmm?
631
00:35:37,973 --> 00:35:39,607
Boys get each other
early release.
632
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,773
Mike, our boys get Suge
put in a cell next to yours.
633
00:35:43,805 --> 00:35:45,805
Come on, man.
634
00:35:45,838 --> 00:35:48,306
I don't wanna fuck
with this shit no more.
635
00:35:48,339 --> 00:35:51,407
Look, I don't know shit.
636
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,374
Alright. OK.
637
00:35:54,540 --> 00:35:57,506
Poole, we'll take him back
to prison. Turn on the sirens.
638
00:35:57,539 --> 00:35:58,939
I want his cellmates to know
639
00:35:58,973 --> 00:36:00,806
he's been hanging out
with his LAPD friends.
640
00:36:00,839 --> 00:36:02,507
Oh, man. What the fuck, dude?
641
00:36:02,539 --> 00:36:05,172
You Iowa motherfuckers don't
know shit about the streets.
642
00:36:05,205 --> 00:36:07,272
Dude, it's like I got
a gun to my head
643
00:36:07,306 --> 00:36:09,173
and you asking me to pull
the motherfucking trigger.
644
00:36:09,206 --> 00:36:12,805
Look, Mike. Mike, listen to me.
645
00:36:12,838 --> 00:36:14,805
You talk to me.
646
00:36:14,838 --> 00:36:17,906
I'll get your sister
out in five.
647
00:36:23,607 --> 00:36:25,574
Alright, man. Fuck it.
648
00:36:26,372 --> 00:36:29,172
There ain't nothin' but Bloods
in there, so Suge's fine.
649
00:36:29,206 --> 00:36:32,340
But Suge don't wanna see
Bad Boy rise up,
650
00:36:32,373 --> 00:36:34,673
so Biggie gets got.
651
00:36:34,705 --> 00:36:37,039
Suge says we hit him up,
652
00:36:37,073 --> 00:36:38,973
Biggie takes it
like a big, fat bitch.
653
00:36:39,006 --> 00:36:41,872
- How was it coordinated?
- Motherfucker, eat a dick!
654
00:36:41,905 --> 00:36:44,506
Who's talkin' to you?
Am I talkin' to him?
655
00:36:44,539 --> 00:36:47,039
You think they fuckin' draw
this shit up on chalkboards?
656
00:36:47,072 --> 00:36:49,574
Man, this shit
was straight stealth.
657
00:36:49,605 --> 00:36:51,273
It was real quiet.
658
00:36:51,305 --> 00:36:53,940
They hired
a fuckin' contract hit.
659
00:36:53,973 --> 00:36:55,272
Did Suge call it?
660
00:36:55,305 --> 00:36:57,240
Suge don't pop off
at the mouth like that.
661
00:36:57,272 --> 00:37:00,672
He's at the top of
the food chain. He's insulated.
662
00:37:00,705 --> 00:37:02,906
They're saying
this other nigga called it.
663
00:37:02,938 --> 00:37:07,273
Some Mob Piru Blood
named D-Mack.
664
00:37:07,306 --> 00:37:11,407
- That's what they say.
- D-Mack.
665
00:37:13,539 --> 00:37:14,972
Alright.
666
00:37:15,006 --> 00:37:18,006
What about the shooter?
667
00:37:18,039 --> 00:37:20,572
Let me show you
a composite sketch of a guy.
668
00:37:20,605 --> 00:37:22,206
No. I don't need to see that.
669
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:26,140
He's clean-cut, faded hairdo.
Medium-complected.
670
00:37:26,173 --> 00:37:29,072
The motherfucker walks around
in a suit and a bow tie,
671
00:37:29,106 --> 00:37:30,939
like he's a Nation of Islam.
672
00:37:30,972 --> 00:37:33,705
His name's Amir Muhammad.
673
00:37:33,739 --> 00:37:36,940
- I got what I need.
- No, you didn't.
674
00:37:36,973 --> 00:37:40,873
I got the composite sketch.
I got the name.
675
00:37:40,906 --> 00:37:42,506
I'm done here.
676
00:37:42,538 --> 00:37:45,705
Well, go ahead and run with it
and see what happens.
677
00:37:45,738 --> 00:37:48,406
What, is there something you
ain't telling me or something?
678
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,173
There's a whole book of things
I ain't telling you.
679
00:37:51,205 --> 00:37:54,474
I'll say it was
an unnamed source, alright?
680
00:37:55,305 --> 00:37:57,872
Amir Muhammad's
never even been arrested.
681
00:37:57,905 --> 00:37:59,572
The guy's clean as a whistle.
682
00:38:02,272 --> 00:38:04,406
You want a name?
683
00:38:12,273 --> 00:38:14,573
You want a name?
684
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:20,940
I dunno. A couple of years.
685
00:38:20,973 --> 00:38:24,240
It's gonna be the big story
of the week, that's for sure.
686
00:38:24,272 --> 00:38:26,907
I just scooped the name

687
00:38:28,339 --> 00:38:31,206
Stanley Kirk Burrell.
688
00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:33,473
- Can you hear me now?
- Yeah.
689
00:38:33,505 --> 00:38:37,073
Hey, can I call you right back?
690
00:38:38,106 --> 00:38:41,072
Jack, I don't think
you should touch this one, babe.
691
00:38:42,039 --> 00:38:44,140
In fact, you can't touch this.
692
00:38:45,504 --> 00:38:46,939
Because...
693
00:38:48,606 --> 00:38:49,773
Holy fuck.
694
00:38:49,806 --> 00:38:52,240
Your killer is...
695
00:38:52,273 --> 00:38:53,806
..MC Hammer.

704
00:39:10,973 --> 00:39:14,006
Yeah, OK, OK.
I'll stop if you stop.

♪ Hammer time! ♪
God, I love you, Jack.
706
00:39:17,005 --> 00:39:18,439
I'll start it
from the beginning.
707
00:39:18,471 --> 00:39:21,105
- I got it, alright? I got it.
- You don't got it yet.
708
00:39:21,139 --> 00:39:23,471
Alright, Jack.
709
00:39:23,504 --> 00:39:25,406
Jack, stop.
710
00:39:25,438 --> 00:39:28,506
Jack, stop!
711
00:39:31,173 --> 00:39:34,005
And here comes the pitch.
712
00:39:34,039 --> 00:39:37,439
Awesome!
713
00:39:37,472 --> 00:39:42,239
And batting next,
that's shortstop number 29,
714
00:39:42,272 --> 00:39:45,306
Russell Poole Jr!
715
00:39:51,472 --> 00:39:53,906
Players on first and second.
716
00:39:53,939 --> 00:39:56,073
Here it comes.
717
00:39:56,106 --> 00:39:59,406
Oh, and that's a brilliant...
718
00:39:59,439 --> 00:40:01,039
We got one run coming in.
719
00:40:01,072 --> 00:40:03,039
We got a runner
standing on third!
720
00:40:03,072 --> 00:40:06,572
And that's Poole
with the stand-up power.
721
00:40:22,373 --> 00:40:24,307
How did your son play?
722
00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:29,339
My son's not something I'm
willing to discuss with you.
723
00:40:30,372 --> 00:40:32,739
Is MC Hammer?
724
00:40:36,305 --> 00:40:38,772
You got me, man.
That was a good one.
725
00:40:38,806 --> 00:40:40,140
Oh, that was great.
726
00:40:40,172 --> 00:40:42,172
- One of my best.
- I deserved it.
727
00:40:42,205 --> 00:40:45,273
Yeah, you did. Yeah, you did.
728
00:40:48,504 --> 00:40:51,207
Why is the Wallace case
so important to you?
729
00:40:53,439 --> 00:40:57,140
I'm obsessed with the truth,
and that's my sickness.
730
00:40:57,172 --> 00:41:00,471
I remember Bobby Kennedy said,
731
00:41:00,505 --> 00:41:04,273
"Every society gets the kind
of criminal it deserves."
732
00:41:04,306 --> 00:41:07,706
"And every community gets
the kind of law enforcement
733
00:41:07,739 --> 00:41:10,173
"it insists on."
734
00:41:13,638 --> 00:41:16,538
At one time
I actually believed that.
735
00:41:16,572 --> 00:41:18,706
When I joined the LAPD
736
00:41:18,738 --> 00:41:23,039
we called each other
"brother officer".
737
00:41:23,073 --> 00:41:25,472
I wanted to serve on that force.
738
00:41:26,738 --> 00:41:30,338
I wanted on this case because
I had to know for myself...
739
00:41:31,805 --> 00:41:35,338
..if there were, in fact,
dirty cops involved.
740
00:41:40,038 --> 00:41:43,538
Would you like me to start
at the trial or the arrest?
741
00:41:43,572 --> 00:41:45,439
Tell it however
you wanna tell it.
742
00:41:45,472 --> 00:41:47,606
Take me from the next dot.
743
00:41:47,639 --> 00:41:50,639
Well, you follow every lead,
really,
744
00:41:50,672 --> 00:41:52,739
even if it's just
to rule it out.
745
00:41:52,771 --> 00:41:54,306
So I'll start
with your theory -
746
00:41:54,338 --> 00:41:56,738
the idea that Biggie
had paid for the hit on Tupac.
747
00:41:56,771 --> 00:41:58,073
We looked into it.
748
00:41:58,105 --> 00:42:00,072
Went to Vegas to meet Varney.
749
00:42:00,105 --> 00:42:03,572
He's the lead
detective investigator
750
00:42:03,605 --> 00:42:05,472
in the murder of Tupac Shakur.
751
00:42:06,439 --> 00:42:10,140
At 4:03, in Las Vegas time,
752
00:42:10,173 --> 00:42:13,739
Tupac Shakur passed away, y'all.
753
00:42:13,772 --> 00:42:16,040
- MAY 1997
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA
754
00:42:16,073 --> 00:42:18,807
Give me a moment of silence.
755
00:42:19,973 --> 00:42:22,106
Alright, this is where
the whole melee took place.
756
00:42:22,139 --> 00:42:24,873
This guy getting the shit kicked
out of him is Orlando Anderson.
757
00:42:24,906 --> 00:42:26,306
Tupac is there somewhere.
758
00:42:26,339 --> 00:42:28,605
And look at that guy
doing the ground and pound.
759
00:42:28,638 --> 00:42:30,072
Watch this. Boom! Boom!
760
00:42:30,106 --> 00:42:33,306
And here's Tupac and Suge Knight
making a hasty escape.
761
00:42:33,339 --> 00:42:35,773
And Suge Knight just violated
the terms of his parole,
762
00:42:35,806 --> 00:42:39,073
which is why he's sitting in a
federal penitentiary right now.
763
00:42:39,106 --> 00:42:41,371
Two hours after this,
Tupac Shakur is killed
764
00:42:41,404 --> 00:42:42,705
in a drive-by off the Strip.
765
00:42:42,738 --> 00:42:45,305
Are you guys hearing
766
00:42:45,338 --> 00:42:50,239
that the shooters were hired
by Christopher Wallace?
767
00:42:50,271 --> 00:42:54,305
Look, the Biggie
killed Tupac theory's bullshit.
768
00:42:54,338 --> 00:42:56,840
This is the most famous rapper
in the world.
769
00:42:56,872 --> 00:42:59,505
He's 6'2", he's 400 pounds,
he's got an entourage.
770
00:42:59,538 --> 00:43:00,972
He's not gonna slip into
771
00:43:01,006 --> 00:43:03,840
the most CCTVed city on earth
unseen.
772
00:43:03,873 --> 00:43:05,472
No, Wallace, he checked out.
773
00:43:05,505 --> 00:43:09,072
Biggie didn't have Tupac killed?
774
00:43:09,105 --> 00:43:10,438
No.
775
00:43:10,471 --> 00:43:12,405
No, he didn't.
776
00:43:12,438 --> 00:43:16,073
You know, sometimes the bad guys
777
00:43:16,105 --> 00:43:18,673
will put the word out
on the street
778
00:43:18,705 --> 00:43:20,673
that somebody else
committed their crime.
779
00:43:20,705 --> 00:43:22,538
It's like a smokescreen.
780
00:43:22,571 --> 00:43:25,405
That smoke spreads wide enough,
781
00:43:25,439 --> 00:43:27,272
media grabs hold of it...
782
00:43:27,305 --> 00:43:29,439
..wildfire.
783
00:43:30,873 --> 00:43:33,106
So, what did you do
when the lead went dead?
784
00:43:33,139 --> 00:43:35,073
We asked more questions.
785
00:43:35,106 --> 00:43:38,306
What was Suge Knight's demeanour
786
00:43:38,339 --> 00:43:41,140
when you interviewed him
after the shooting?
787
00:43:43,038 --> 00:43:45,840
Um, elusive. He didn't help us.
788
00:43:45,872 --> 00:43:47,271
Nobody did.
789
00:43:47,305 --> 00:43:51,272
Truth be told, Vegas doesn't
want us to close the Tupac case.
790
00:43:51,305 --> 00:43:55,140
Move the cars, open the bars,
keep the Strip open.
791
00:43:55,172 --> 00:43:59,206
Leave those circus trials
in L.A., you know what I mean?
792
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:00,605
How's that?
793
00:44:00,638 --> 00:44:02,905
- You saw our murder book, right?
- Yeah.
794
00:44:02,939 --> 00:44:05,573
Every page is a sworn statement
by an eyewitness
795
00:44:05,606 --> 00:44:09,139
that contradicts another sworn
statement by an eyewitness.
796
00:44:09,171 --> 00:44:11,005
You take a suspect to trial,
797
00:44:11,039 --> 00:44:12,706
his attorney
will have a field day
798
00:44:12,738 --> 00:44:14,673
and we'll be left
holding our dicks.
799
00:44:14,706 --> 00:44:17,338
Like those LAPD dicks
after the OJ trial.
800
00:44:17,371 --> 00:44:18,772
You know what?
801
00:44:18,805 --> 00:44:22,205
- Go fuck yourself.
- Come again?
802
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,072
You Crisco oil piece of shit,
you fuckin' heard me.
803
00:44:25,105 --> 00:44:27,805
Are you serious?
804
00:44:27,839 --> 00:44:31,006
Those LAPD dicks
got royally fucked
805
00:44:31,039 --> 00:44:32,639
because they had the audacity
806
00:44:32,671 --> 00:44:34,171
to pin the murder
on a guilty man,
807
00:44:34,204 --> 00:44:37,039
a man lucky enough to be charged
after Rodney King,
808
00:44:37,073 --> 00:44:39,506
so Cochran could just hint
that they were racist.
809
00:44:39,539 --> 00:44:41,906
Everybody heard
the Furhman tape.
810
00:44:41,938 --> 00:44:43,905
I'm talking about solid guys,
lifetime fuckin' guys,
811
00:44:43,939 --> 00:44:45,406
who had their retirement
fuckin' ruined.
812
00:44:45,439 --> 00:44:47,973
Why? Because they had the balls
to do their fuckin' job!
813
00:44:48,006 --> 00:44:50,472
And here you are,
you gutless fuckin' wonder!
814
00:44:50,505 --> 00:44:52,006
We'll talk about cops.
815
00:44:52,038 --> 00:44:53,973
You will never in your career
816
00:44:54,005 --> 00:44:58,272
do the cop work they did
on a fuckin' lunch break.
817
00:44:59,371 --> 00:45:00,939
One more thing.
818
00:45:00,973 --> 00:45:04,639
Fuck Fuhrman.
You remind me of him.
819
00:45:04,672 --> 00:45:07,039
And fuck this fuckin' city.
820
00:45:12,805 --> 00:45:15,072
Miserable piece of fuckin' shit.
821
00:45:15,105 --> 00:45:18,072
You idolise guys
ahead of you in the force.
822
00:45:19,572 --> 00:45:20,973
Then you watch them get fucked
823
00:45:21,005 --> 00:45:23,738
by the very system
they propped up.
824
00:45:23,771 --> 00:45:26,039
It's a game of inches.
The point is to win.
825
00:45:26,072 --> 00:45:28,840
So us, we stick together.
826
00:45:28,872 --> 00:45:32,071
And we do everything we have to
to win.
827
00:45:32,104 --> 00:45:34,006
Hmm?
828
00:45:39,805 --> 00:45:42,272
The FBI have infiltrated
Death Row.
829
00:45:42,304 --> 00:45:45,171
There are LAPD officers
in its inner circle
830
00:45:45,205 --> 00:45:48,973
and these officers
are loyal to Suge Knight.
831
00:45:51,505 --> 00:45:55,406
I believe that Officer Gaines
may have been an accessory
832
00:45:55,438 --> 00:45:57,806
to Biggie Smalls's murder.
833
00:46:01,738 --> 00:46:04,138
OK, Poole,
walk me through it.
834
00:46:04,172 --> 00:46:08,271
12:30am,
Wallace exits the Petersen
835
00:46:08,305 --> 00:46:12,673
and gets in the last vehicle
of a three-car convoy.
836
00:46:12,705 --> 00:46:17,305
It's a Suburban. It's driven
by Greg Young, aka G-Money.
837
00:46:17,338 --> 00:46:18,638
Right.
838
00:46:18,672 --> 00:46:20,773
In the first vehicle
839
00:46:20,806 --> 00:46:22,940
is an off-duty
Inglewood police officer,
840
00:46:22,972 --> 00:46:24,773
Reginald Blaylock.
841
00:46:24,806 --> 00:46:30,972
He pulls out, blocks
the traffic on Fairfax, OK?
842
00:46:31,006 --> 00:46:34,372
Now, Biggie's security,
Eugene Deal,
843
00:46:34,404 --> 00:46:37,005
walks to the garage exit,
844
00:46:37,037 --> 00:46:38,805
where he comes face to face
845
00:46:38,839 --> 00:46:41,506
with a man in a blue suit
and a bow tie,
846
00:46:41,539 --> 00:46:44,306
who Deal identifies as a member
of the Fruit of Islam.
847
00:46:44,338 --> 00:46:46,805
- The Nation of Islam's...
- Security guards.
848
00:46:46,838 --> 00:46:48,605
Yeah, exactly.
849
00:46:48,639 --> 00:46:50,506
Deal shows the man
that he's armed.
850
00:46:50,539 --> 00:46:52,538
The man leaves.
851
00:46:52,571 --> 00:46:55,805
Deal then notices,
as do many other eyewitnesses,
852
00:46:55,838 --> 00:47:01,271
a black sedan parked
facing southbound on Fairfax.
853
00:47:01,305 --> 00:47:02,773
- Correct?
- Yeah.
854
00:47:02,806 --> 00:47:05,239
And it's in front
of a white vehicle,
855
00:47:05,272 --> 00:47:10,472
the occupants of which shoot
video of the incident, OK?
856
00:47:10,504 --> 00:47:13,538
Deal then gets in the second car
of the convoy.
857
00:47:13,572 --> 00:47:16,505
Excuse me.
Kenneth Story is driving.
858
00:47:18,404 --> 00:47:19,939
Puffy is sitting
859
00:47:19,971 --> 00:47:23,772
in the passenger seat.
860
00:47:23,806 --> 00:47:26,573
Then they pull
just past the kerb.
861
00:47:26,606 --> 00:47:30,739
Biggie's SUV
then pulls in behind.
862
00:47:30,772 --> 00:47:32,172
OK?
863
00:47:32,205 --> 00:47:34,906
On the sidewalk
are approximately 15 people
864
00:47:34,939 --> 00:47:37,171
who had attended the party
at the Petersen.
865
00:47:37,204 --> 00:47:40,338
DJ Quik, Kurupt
and, er, what's that...
866
00:47:40,371 --> 00:47:42,405
- Wait, Foxy Brown.
- Foxy Brown, here.
867
00:47:42,438 --> 00:47:46,773
Now, while Biggie's car idles
at the exit of the garage,
868
00:47:46,805 --> 00:47:49,138
he signs an autograph for a fan
869
00:47:49,172 --> 00:47:52,172
and then he speaks to a woman
who approaches the vehicle.
870
00:47:52,205 --> 00:47:55,573
Now, 12:49am.
871
00:47:55,606 --> 00:47:58,606
Puffy's car pulls out,
872
00:47:58,639 --> 00:48:00,439
heads north on Fairfax.
873
00:48:00,472 --> 00:48:04,039
Eugene Deal,
Wallace's head of security...
874
00:48:04,072 --> 00:48:04,905
Security.
875
00:48:04,938 --> 00:48:06,406
..he advises Kenneth Story,
876
00:48:06,439 --> 00:48:09,072
blow the light,
for security reasons, OK?
877
00:48:09,105 --> 00:48:11,806
Puffy's car goes through
that yellow light
878
00:48:11,838 --> 00:48:13,104
and turns left onto Wilshire.
879
00:48:13,137 --> 00:48:17,638
But Biggie's car
stops at the red light.
880
00:48:17,671 --> 00:48:19,138
That lane, exactly.
881
00:48:19,171 --> 00:48:24,338
The second he stops at
this red light, a white SUV...
882
00:48:26,238 --> 00:48:29,971
..pulls in parallel
to Biggie's vehicle
883
00:48:30,004 --> 00:48:31,672
and stops, blocking it.
884
00:48:31,706 --> 00:48:35,171
Now, at this exact same second,
885
00:48:35,204 --> 00:48:38,904
our shooter,
in the black sedan...
886
00:48:38,937 --> 00:48:40,639
- The Chevy Impala SS.
- Yes.
887
00:48:40,671 --> 00:48:43,605
He speeds north on Fairfax,
888
00:48:43,638 --> 00:48:47,271
pulling parallel to the right
side of Biggie's car...
889
00:48:47,304 --> 00:48:49,705
..boxing him in...
890
00:48:51,671 --> 00:48:55,104
..while the shooter
fires six shots.
891
00:48:55,138 --> 00:48:56,872
We checked the cellphone data.
892
00:48:56,904 --> 00:48:58,773
It's garbage.
We can't use any of it.
893
00:48:58,806 --> 00:49:02,005
So, look, either the shooter
got lucky
894
00:49:02,037 --> 00:49:07,139
or, I don't know, he coordinated
it in some other way.
895
00:49:07,937 --> 00:49:12,138
If Officer Gaines
or other cops advised,
896
00:49:12,172 --> 00:49:14,639
they would know
to avoid cells, obviously.
897
00:49:14,672 --> 00:49:16,139
Yeah.
898
00:49:16,172 --> 00:49:18,239
You know what
they'd use, Miller?
899
00:49:19,372 --> 00:49:21,038
Walkie-talkies.
900
00:49:22,171 --> 00:49:24,138
Miller, he bought
into your theory
901
00:49:24,171 --> 00:49:26,438
that LAPD cops were involved?
902
00:49:27,472 --> 00:49:29,406
Yeah. Yeah, he did.
903
00:49:29,438 --> 00:49:30,705
For a night.
904
00:49:30,739 --> 00:49:33,004
Today the family
of slain police officer
905
00:49:33,037 --> 00:49:35,305
Kevin Gaines have retained
attorney Johnnie Cochran
906
00:49:35,339 --> 00:49:37,272
and filed
a wrongful death lawsuit
907
00:49:37,305 --> 00:49:40,439
against the City of Los Angeles
for $25 million.
908
00:49:40,472 --> 00:49:42,372
Kevin Gaines, shot and killed
on March 18...
909
00:49:42,405 --> 00:49:45,338
They hired that miserable fuck
Johnnie Cochran.
910
00:49:45,371 --> 00:49:46,971
..a former assistant
district attorney,
911
00:49:47,005 --> 00:49:49,639
has successfully brought
multiple class action suits
912
00:49:49,671 --> 00:49:51,305
against the LAPD.
913
00:49:51,338 --> 00:49:54,705
I'd never seen
anything as charged as this,
914
00:49:54,739 --> 00:49:56,373
but Miller had.
915
00:49:57,305 --> 00:50:01,272
I saw clues that said
our bad guys might be cops.
916
00:50:01,304 --> 00:50:07,104
Miller only saw that we were
white cops accusing black cops.
917
00:50:07,137 --> 00:50:10,738
He saw us heading straight for
a nationally televised trial
918
00:50:10,772 --> 00:50:13,039
where Johnnie Cochran
would ruin our careers
919
00:50:13,071 --> 00:50:16,706
just like he did
the OJ detectives.
920
00:50:16,738 --> 00:50:18,839
You like that?
921
00:50:18,871 --> 00:50:21,272
You had the choice between
all these different cars
922
00:50:21,304 --> 00:50:23,071
and this is the car
you're gonna choose?
923
00:50:23,105 --> 00:50:25,005
I just wish I could get
under the hood,
924
00:50:25,037 --> 00:50:26,771
you know, work on the engine.
925
00:50:28,672 --> 00:50:31,905
It works! That's great.
926
00:50:34,137 --> 00:50:35,506
Thank you.
927
00:50:39,639 --> 00:50:41,172
Can I get the, er...
928
00:50:41,204 --> 00:50:44,038
Am I allowed to get
the carne asada?
929
00:50:44,071 --> 00:50:45,338
I mean, it's, like, $4 more,
930
00:50:45,371 --> 00:50:47,605
but I'm not gonna get
a side order.
931
00:50:49,104 --> 00:50:52,838
You know what, I would like
to have the carne asada too.
932
00:50:52,872 --> 00:50:55,072
Both of us. Thank you.
933
00:50:57,371 --> 00:51:00,771
What do you think
was going through Miller's mind?
934
00:51:00,804 --> 00:51:04,405
Oh, er... protecting his pension.
935
00:51:05,606 --> 00:51:09,071
Everybody in the LAPD
knew that Gaines was dirty.
936
00:51:09,104 --> 00:51:12,205
But as soon as Cochran
was in his family's corner...
937
00:51:13,538 --> 00:51:18,039
..all I know is that Miller
flew to New York without me.
938
00:51:18,938 --> 00:51:21,005
And he came back
and he's saying
939
00:51:21,038 --> 00:51:23,505
Biggie's entourage
doesn't want to talk,
940
00:51:23,539 --> 00:51:26,072
that my cop theory's a dead end.
941
00:51:26,105 --> 00:51:29,272
They wanted to, sort of,
stall the case a bit
942
00:51:29,305 --> 00:51:33,473
until they found
a more suitable, er, suspect.
943
00:51:35,038 --> 00:51:37,105
Hoping for a gangbanger.
944
00:51:37,138 --> 00:51:38,539
Yeah.
945
00:51:38,571 --> 00:51:40,372
And that's what we got.
946
00:51:41,371 --> 00:51:42,573
D-Mack.
947
00:51:42,605 --> 00:51:45,572
- NOVEMBER 1997
SOUTH CENTRAL
948
00:52:26,204 --> 00:52:29,138
I need access
to my safety deposit box.
949
00:52:29,171 --> 00:52:32,071
OK. You're just gonna
have to fill out this.
950
00:52:33,105 --> 00:52:36,872
Open the door or you'll be
the first to fuckin' die, OK?
951
00:52:36,904 --> 00:52:40,405
Slowly, slowly, slowly.
952
00:52:48,539 --> 00:52:52,972
Everybody get the fuck
on the ground now!
953
00:52:53,005 --> 00:52:54,772
Don't fuckin' look at me,
you hear me?!
954
00:52:54,804 --> 00:52:56,439
Nobody fuckin' look at me!
955
00:52:56,472 --> 00:52:57,805
Get the fuck away from there.
956
00:52:57,837 --> 00:52:59,772
Gimme the fuckin' money
right now! Let's go.
957
00:52:59,805 --> 00:53:02,704
- Gimme the money now!
- Don't make a move!
958
00:53:02,738 --> 00:53:05,039
- Come on. Hurry up.
- Go!
959
00:53:05,071 --> 00:53:07,171
Everybody stay the fuck down
960
00:53:07,205 --> 00:53:09,573
and everything's
gonna be alright, alright?
961
00:53:09,605 --> 00:53:11,573
Let's go. Fuckin' move.
962
00:53:19,137 --> 00:53:20,804
Get in!
963
00:53:20,838 --> 00:53:23,539
Go, go, go, go!
964
00:53:36,670 --> 00:53:39,004
I'm Special Agent Dunton
with the FBI.
965
00:53:39,037 --> 00:53:41,206
Can I get a moment?
966
00:53:41,238 --> 00:53:42,505
Thanks.
967
00:53:47,737 --> 00:53:51,771
A man that hits a woman
isn't even a man.
968
00:53:51,805 --> 00:53:54,138
He's an animal.
969
00:53:54,171 --> 00:53:55,938
Smart, though.
970
00:53:55,971 --> 00:53:59,571
Small bank like yours
usually has 50,000 on hand,
971
00:53:59,605 --> 00:54:04,939
but today you had 15 times
that much.
972
00:54:04,971 --> 00:54:08,206
I need to speak
to whoever made that order.
973
00:54:13,872 --> 00:54:15,271
It was you.
974
00:54:15,304 --> 00:54:17,971
The holidays are coming up.
You know, that's what we do.
975
00:54:18,004 --> 00:54:21,471
- We... we do that.
- Sure. No, no, no, no, yeah.
976
00:54:21,504 --> 00:54:23,704
But I'll tell you the truth.
977
00:54:23,737 --> 00:54:25,938
Who I really need to speak to
978
00:54:25,972 --> 00:54:29,139
is the person who had the keys
to the vaults.
979
00:54:35,438 --> 00:54:37,438
I got nothing to say.
980
00:54:38,604 --> 00:54:41,704
You're gonna be very, very old
981
00:54:41,737 --> 00:54:43,571

young lady.
982
00:54:46,770 --> 00:54:48,671
What if I can talk
to him?
983
00:54:48,705 --> 00:54:51,671
What if... w-what if
I can con... convince him
984
00:54:51,705 --> 00:54:53,206
to give the money back, huh?
985
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,039
Then... then will I still
be in trouble?
986
00:54:55,072 --> 00:54:58,239
- Who? Who are we talking about?
- My boyfriend.
987
00:54:58,272 --> 00:55:00,005

and rattle my sense of manhood,
you go right ahead.
1034
00:59:09,704 --> 00:59:14,106
OK, Special Agent.
1035
00:59:15,972 --> 00:59:18,071
So, where we start?
1036
00:59:18,104 --> 00:59:20,938
With Death Row.
1037
00:59:31,403 --> 00:59:32,971
I don't know.
1038
00:59:33,004 --> 00:59:35,304
If you don't talk to me,
1039
00:59:35,338 --> 00:59:38,538
if you don't tell me
where the money is,
1040
00:59:38,570 --> 00:59:40,572
15 years.
1041
00:59:41,705 --> 00:59:44,238
15?
1042
00:59:45,705 --> 00:59:48,437
- Years?
- Mm-hm.
1043
00:59:49,538 --> 00:59:51,938
Oh, fuck.
1044
00:59:59,203 --> 01:00:01,671
Come on, nigga.
1045
01:00:01,705 --> 01:00:03,905
Nigga, that ain't shit, Blood.
1046
01:00:03,937 --> 01:00:06,437
15 years?
1047
01:00:06,470 --> 01:00:09,337
Get the fuck outta here
with that bullshit, nigga.
1048
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:11,704
Fuck you think this is?
I'm from the gutter, Blood.
1049
01:00:11,737 --> 01:00:14,971
See, that's Compton.
You feel me?
1050
01:00:15,004 --> 01:00:18,171
- I'm Piru, nigga.
- Mm-hm.
1051
01:00:18,204 --> 01:00:23,905
What the fuck you think 15 years
gonna do to a nigga like me?

01:00:32,471 --> 01:00:34,472
Give me 20.
1055
01:00:35,638 --> 01:00:39,371
D-Mack and Kevin Gaines.
1056
01:00:39,404 --> 01:00:41,170
Both connected to Death Row.
1057
01:00:41,203 --> 01:00:44,437
Both surely involved
in Biggie's shooting.
1058
01:00:46,038 --> 01:00:48,305
And both untouchable.
1059
01:00:48,337 --> 01:00:49,838
Why?
1060
01:00:50,638 --> 01:00:53,905
- Because they're both LAPD.
- Mm-hm.
1061
01:00:53,937 --> 01:00:56,938
We can't let you test
Mack's Impala for forensics.
1062
01:00:56,971 --> 01:00:58,605
It'll take me an hour. One hour.
1063
01:00:58,637 --> 01:01:00,572

I mean, my fuckin' hands
are tied.
1065
01:01:04,303 --> 01:01:07,337
The future earning
potential in Christopher Wallace
1066
01:01:07,371 --> 01:01:09,204
would be over a billion.
1067
01:01:10,804 --> 01:01:12,138
So, if we could prove
a connection
1068
01:01:12,170 --> 01:01:14,672
between a cop
and Biggie's murder,
1069
01:01:14,704 --> 01:01:18,737
then a lawsuit
by the Wallace family
1070
01:01:18,771 --> 01:01:21,737

it would...

with Death Row Records?
1145

Look, I can't comment
on an open investigation, OK?
1146
01:05:27,136 --> 01:05:29,337
- It's an open investigation?
- Yeah.
1147
01:05:29,370 --> 01:05:31,270
Wow.
1148
01:05:31,304 --> 01:05:32,938

Jackson's been spending
a little bit of time with Poole.

- Russell. Russell.
- Oh, Poole.

This is the... OK, alright.

You know, you are as much
an embarrassment to Edwards

as Poole was to the LAPD.

up the grassy knoll,
1159
01:05:57,737 --> 01:05:59,204
where they proceeded
to both whack Kennedy.
1160
01:05:59,238 --> 01:06:01,071
Is that what
you're going for here?
1161
01:06:01,104 --> 01:06:04,204

1162
01:06:04,237 --> 01:06:05,771
No, not at all.
1163
01:06:05,805 --> 01:06:08,371
I find you thinking
that you're spending time
1164
01:06:08,403 --> 01:06:10,537
with the man
who's going to solve this,
1165
01:06:10,570 --> 01:06:12,070
that's what I find funny.
1166
01:06:12,104 --> 01:06:14,838
You want something off
the record, put that thing away.
1167
01:06:14,871 --> 01:06:17,371
- Go on, put it away.
- OK.
1168
01:06:17,403 --> 01:06:19,837
Turn it off, put it away
and I'll tell you something.
1169
01:06:19,871 --> 01:06:21,171
Alright, this is off the record.
1170
01:06:21,204 --> 01:06:25,838
I bet you Poole
hasn't mentioned Wardell Fouse.
1171
01:06:25,871 --> 01:06:28,305
He was a Mob Piru Blood
1172
01:06:28,338 --> 01:06:30,705
that Suge Knight paid
to shoot Biggie.
1173
01:06:30,738 --> 01:06:32,205
Poole tell you that?
1174
01:06:32,238 --> 01:06:35,537
- I'll track him down.
- And bring along a shovel.
1175
01:06:35,570 --> 01:06:38,071
Because he was killed in 2003.
1176
01:06:38,103 --> 01:06:41,571
And listen, Jackson, let me
do you a solid here, OK?
1177
01:06:42,937 --> 01:06:45,738
Poole is certifiable.
1178
01:06:45,770 --> 01:06:47,870
He's a lunatic, alright?
1179
01:06:47,903 --> 01:06:50,937
And if he's giving you
his Captain America routine,
1180
01:06:50,971 --> 01:06:52,538
and the Stars and the Stripes,
1181
01:06:52,571 --> 01:06:55,171
and his... his badge
on his sleeve,
1182
01:06:55,204 --> 01:06:58,105
ask him about his suspension.
1183
01:06:58,903 --> 01:07:00,838
The guy's a disgrace.
1184
01:07:00,870 --> 01:07:03,004
He's a pathological liar.
1185
01:07:03,037 --> 01:07:05,171
I mean, the Wallace's
family civil case
1186
01:07:05,203 --> 01:07:08,070
was based upon his theory
and it was all tossed.
1187
01:07:08,104 --> 01:07:11,438
The man is a lonely shut-in.
1188
01:07:11,471 --> 01:07:14,970
And he needs a warm body
like yourself to talk to.
1189
01:07:15,003 --> 01:07:17,103
So he'll say
whatever you want to hear.
1190
01:07:17,137 --> 01:07:18,737
But reporting things
that aren't true
1191
01:07:18,769 --> 01:07:20,370
is your specialty,
right, Jackson?
1192
01:07:20,404 --> 01:07:21,804
And that's the end of story.
1193
01:07:21,836 --> 01:07:23,404
I don't want to talk
about it anymore,
1194
01:07:23,437 --> 01:07:26,304
and we're about to have dinner,
so maybe you could...
1195
01:07:27,136 --> 01:07:30,237
- Thanks for your time.
- Alright.
1196
01:07:32,970 --> 01:07:35,304

Is he medicated? Is he a drunk?
1199
01:07:38,870 --> 01:07:40,870
Why did you even
let him sit down?
1200
01:07:50,437 --> 01:07:54,270
- Yeah, come in.
- Tell me about Wardell Fouse.
1201
01:07:54,303 --> 01:07:55,371
Fouse?

01:07:55,403 --> 01:07:58,304
Oh, you're buying
into that bullshit now?
1203
01:07:59,104 --> 01:08:01,337
Street name was 'Poochie'.
1204
01:08:02,137 --> 01:08:04,671
He was the primary
in the LAPD's current theory.
1205
01:08:04,704 --> 01:08:06,237
- Fuckin' knew this shit?
- I'm a detective.
1206
01:08:06,271 --> 01:08:09,438
A detective says, "I don't know
until I can prove it."
1207
01:08:09,471 --> 01:08:11,971
You've been talkin' about this
dirty cop and that dirty cop.
1208
01:08:12,004 --> 01:08:13,938
Well, what about you, Russ?
1209
01:08:13,971 --> 01:08:17,038
Never a mention about the cop
who got suspended.
1210
01:08:17,071 --> 01:08:18,737
No, let me tell you something.
1211
01:08:18,769 --> 01:08:21,604
You have no idea
what the LAPD is capable of.
1212
01:08:21,638 --> 01:08:23,304
Stop! How can I trust
a single word
1213
01:08:23,337 --> 01:08:25,270
that comes out
of your fuckin' mouth?
1214
01:08:25,304 --> 01:08:26,737
You look at these walls.
1215
01:08:26,770 --> 01:08:28,971
I earned everything here.
Letters of commendation.
1216
01:08:29,004 --> 01:08:31,438
And that's why your son
doesn't talk to you.
1217
01:08:31,471 --> 01:08:33,704
Because you care more
about that than him.
1218
01:08:33,736 --> 01:08:35,804

- What did I do?
- Licence and registration.
1232
01:09:23,303 --> 01:09:25,304
This is bullshit.
1233
01:09:27,303 --> 01:09:30,837
Sir, are you recording me
right now on that phone?
1234
01:09:30,870 --> 01:09:32,370
- Sir...
- How does that feel to you?
1235
01:09:32,404 --> 01:09:34,671
- Turn off the phone.
- I'm a journalist.
1236
01:09:34,703 --> 01:09:37,338
I got First Amendment rights
and I ain't turnin' off shit.
1237
01:09:37,370 --> 01:09:39,071
Turn off the fuckin' phone,
I said.
1238
01:09:39,104 --> 01:09:41,637
- Let's go. Out of the vehicle.
- What the fuck, man?
1239
01:09:41,669 --> 01:09:43,470
I ain't gettin' out
nowhere, man.
1240
01:09:43,503 --> 01:09:45,437
Get out of the vehicle now.
1241
01:09:45,471 --> 01:09:47,605
Nice and slow.
1242
01:09:47,636 --> 01:09:50,137
Out of the vehicle, now!
1243
01:09:50,170 --> 01:09:53,138
- Everybody! Everybody!
- Turn around!
1244
01:09:53,170 --> 01:09:55,804
They fuckin' with me.
I ain't done shit!
1245
01:09:55,837 --> 01:09:57,438
Turn around.
1246
01:10:26,636 --> 01:10:28,304
It's me.
1247
01:10:29,637 --> 01:10:32,105
I'm in the, er...
1248
01:10:33,470 --> 01:10:35,404
..L.A. Central.
1249
01:10:44,338 --> 01:10:46,871
Jack?
1250
01:10:51,036 --> 01:10:52,003
Jack?
1251
01:10:52,036 --> 01:10:53,538
I hate to tell you this,
1252
01:10:53,569 --> 01:10:56,171
but Edwards took you
off the Biggie retrospective.
1253
01:11:08,871 --> 01:11:11,737
- ..of facts.
- I need a word.
1254
01:11:11,769 --> 01:11:15,570
You commissioned
a 20-year retrospective
1255
01:11:15,604 --> 01:11:16,770
and I'm not on it?
1256
01:11:16,804 --> 01:11:18,637
The central claim
has been discredited.
1257
01:11:18,669 --> 01:11:22,137
- According to who?
- The LAPD.
1258
01:11:22,970 --> 01:11:25,305
Of course it was discredited
by them.
1259
01:11:25,337 --> 01:11:27,904
They couldn't solve the case
in the first goddamn place.
1260
01:11:27,937 --> 01:11:31,438
We are distancing ourselves
from the story.
1261
01:11:54,637 --> 01:11:58,038
- Detective Miller?
- Who wants to know?
1262
01:12:00,037 --> 01:12:03,338
March 1997, you were the, er...
1263
01:12:03,370 --> 01:12:06,803
..the lead detective on the
Christopher Wallace case, right?
1264
01:12:06,836 --> 01:12:09,172
What are you?
A lawyer? Or a cop?
1265
01:12:09,970 --> 01:12:12,503
- Journalist.
- Even worse.
1266
01:12:13,370 --> 01:12:17,204
I had one foot in retirement.
I don't remember much.
1267
01:12:19,703 --> 01:12:21,937
Too many damn suspects.
1268
01:12:21,971 --> 01:12:23,571
Too many damn leads.
1269
01:12:23,604 --> 01:12:26,471
Was Amir Muhammad one of them?
1270
01:12:28,636 --> 01:12:30,105
What the...
1271
01:12:31,404 --> 01:12:34,870
Amir Muhammad
was a possible shooter, yeah.
1272
01:12:34,904 --> 01:12:37,137
But we never interviewed him.
1273
01:12:38,904 --> 01:12:40,871
Can I buy you a beer?
1274
01:12:41,903 --> 01:12:45,171
Everybody had a shooter.
Everybody had a theory.
1275
01:12:45,203 --> 01:12:47,271
My partner asked
onto the case at the time
1276
01:12:47,304 --> 01:12:49,504
because he had a theory.
1277
01:12:49,537 --> 01:12:51,737
Was he... was he
a good detective?
1278
01:12:51,769 --> 01:12:54,671
Was he a good partner?
1279
01:12:54,703 --> 01:12:57,170
Russell Poole.
1280
01:12:57,204 --> 01:12:59,305
One of the best.
1281
01:13:03,970 --> 01:13:07,436
Younger guy, but from an older
school than even I was from.
1282
01:13:12,804 --> 01:13:14,670
Worked an honest shift.
1283
01:13:14,704 --> 01:13:16,171
Er, lacked nuance.
1284
01:13:16,204 --> 01:13:19,504
Followed orders to the point
of insubordination.
1285
01:13:19,536 --> 01:13:22,371
Yeah, well, if the cops
can be bending the rules,
1286
01:13:22,402 --> 01:13:24,570
then where does that leave
the rest of us?
1287
01:13:24,604 --> 01:13:27,004
Oh, Christ. That sounds
like something he would say.
1288
01:13:27,036 --> 01:13:29,436
- You sure you haven't met him?
- No.
1289
01:13:30,337 --> 01:13:32,271
You gotta be able
to separate yourself
1290
01:13:32,304 --> 01:13:34,038
from the community
that you serve,
1291
01:13:34,070 --> 01:13:36,937
and Poole wasn't cut
from that cloth.
1292
01:13:36,971 --> 01:13:38,770
You know what became of him?
1293
01:13:38,804 --> 01:13:40,838
No idea. They split us up.
1294
01:13:40,870 --> 01:13:44,304
There was a cop. Dirty cop.
1295
01:13:44,337 --> 01:13:47,470
Er, fuck, I can't
remember his name.
1296
01:13:47,502 --> 01:13:49,270
- Bank robber.
- Hmm.
1297
01:13:49,304 --> 01:13:53,171
One theory was that
his loyalty lied with Death Row
1298
01:13:53,203 --> 01:13:55,404
and he was involved
in Biggie's murder,
1299
01:13:55,436 --> 01:13:58,570
so the brass put Poole in charge
of an STF looking into that.
1300
01:13:58,603 --> 01:14:00,170
Huh?
1301
01:14:00,204 --> 01:14:04,370
They gave Poole a special task
force to look into David Mack?
1302
01:14:04,403 --> 01:14:05,871
That's the fuck's name!
1303
01:14:05,904 --> 01:14:08,271
David fuckin' Mack. Yes.
1304
01:14:08,303 --> 01:14:10,803
Thanks for your time.
Appreciate it.
1305
01:14:10,836 --> 01:14:12,570
Sure.
1306
01:14:12,603 --> 01:14:14,837
Hey, one more thing.
1307
01:14:16,270 --> 01:14:18,737
You know,
something always struck me
1308
01:14:18,770 --> 01:14:20,571
about that fuck David Mack.
1309
01:14:21,370 --> 01:14:25,737
The whole time he was in prison,
he only got one visitor.
1310
01:14:25,769 --> 01:14:28,204
Amir Muhammad.
1311
01:14:47,704 --> 01:14:49,370
No run.
1312
01:14:53,403 --> 01:14:56,970
Aha. Got a question for you.
1313
01:14:57,004 --> 01:15:01,670
Why does the LAPD give
a substandard officer
1314
01:15:01,704 --> 01:15:03,938
his own special task force?
1315
01:15:03,971 --> 01:15:05,771
You don't get to come here.
1316
01:15:05,803 --> 01:15:07,436
It's a free country.
1317
01:15:09,437 --> 01:15:12,436
Then do me a favour -
root for the other team.
1318
01:15:17,636 --> 01:15:21,369
Substandard? No, sir.
1319
01:15:21,403 --> 01:15:23,537
Are you?
1320
01:15:24,536 --> 01:15:26,604
Unfortunately.
1321
01:15:26,636 --> 01:15:28,670
Alright, everybody, listen up.
1322
01:15:28,704 --> 01:15:31,070
This task force
is changing direction.
1323
01:15:31,104 --> 01:15:33,838
Russ, we got a live one.
We need you to shift focus.
1324
01:15:33,870 --> 01:15:36,004
We're on a live one
right now, sir.
1325
01:15:36,037 --> 01:15:38,871
Let me see you for a second.
1326
01:15:40,737 --> 01:15:42,370
Drop the Death Row pursuit.
1327
01:15:42,403 --> 01:15:45,571
We got cocaine in evidence,
turns out to be Bisquick.
1328
01:15:45,603 --> 01:15:47,970
Same cop signed out
every package.
1329
01:15:48,003 --> 01:15:50,071
Probably selling it
in the street.
1330
01:15:50,103 --> 01:15:53,103
Looks like it's Frank Lyga.
1331
01:15:53,136 --> 01:15:55,270
Fuckin' shittin' me, man?
1332
01:15:55,302 --> 01:15:57,403
I'm on unpaid leave
1333
01:15:57,436 --> 01:15:59,303
and you think
I'm going to Evidence Control
1334
01:15:59,337 --> 01:16:02,804
to sign my name to six pounds
of coke I intend to steal?
1335
01:16:02,836 --> 01:16:05,403
Come on, bro!
1336
01:16:06,502 --> 01:16:08,171
Did you believe him?
1337
01:16:09,170 --> 01:16:10,237
Yeah.
1338
01:16:11,403 --> 01:16:12,938
Yeah, I did.
1339
01:16:12,970 --> 01:16:14,938
His incident with Gaines
1340
01:16:14,971 --> 01:16:19,004
drove a very strong racial wedge
through the force.
1341
01:16:19,037 --> 01:16:20,304
There's your duffel.
1342
01:16:20,336 --> 01:16:22,603
Did you not want
to see my ID or...?
1343
01:16:22,637 --> 01:16:24,604
I'm sure you ain't
gonna rob the place.
1344
01:16:24,636 --> 01:16:26,803
Evidence Control
was so lax,
1345
01:16:26,837 --> 01:16:30,205
Detective Lyga was
the easiest target in the world
1346
01:16:30,236 --> 01:16:32,336
for anybody who wanted
to frame him.
1347
01:16:34,104 --> 01:16:35,604
Detective!
1348
01:16:35,637 --> 01:16:38,804
You left your evidence bag.
1349
01:16:38,836 --> 01:16:41,038
I have to get back
to Disneyland.
1350
01:16:42,136 --> 01:16:43,736
What, you...
1351
01:16:51,470 --> 01:16:55,704
I didn't know who
to trust, so I went to the top.
1352
01:16:55,737 --> 01:16:57,237
Chief?
1353
01:16:57,270 --> 01:17:01,138
- Go away, Poole.
- You'd like that, wouldn't you?
1354
01:17:01,170 --> 01:17:03,469
Sir, this department
has bad elements.
1355
01:17:03,502 --> 01:17:06,137
Now, I can't tell you
who killed Christopher Wallace
1356
01:17:06,170 --> 01:17:08,269
because I've not been allowed
to do my job properly.
1357
01:17:08,302 --> 01:17:11,469
Every time I turn a corner,
I'm not allowed to look.
1358
01:17:11,503 --> 01:17:14,470
Why? Because my suspects
are cops.
1359
01:17:14,503 --> 01:17:16,870
We've all sworn the same oath
1360
01:17:16,904 --> 01:17:19,903
to uphold the law
regardless of the circumstances.
1361
01:17:19,937 --> 01:17:22,871
I believe we owe that
to Christopher Wallace,
1362
01:17:22,903 --> 01:17:26,436
to his mother
and to his family.
1363
01:17:34,770 --> 01:17:38,071
Poole, you insubordinate shit.
1364
01:17:38,103 --> 01:17:41,071
I told you
a hundred fuckin' times,
1365
01:17:41,104 --> 01:17:43,804
you're off the Wallace case.
1366
01:17:43,837 --> 01:17:47,437
Off the Wallace case.
1367
01:17:52,569 --> 01:17:54,469
I went to the District Attorney.
1368
01:17:54,502 --> 01:17:56,436
And, er...
1369
01:17:58,104 --> 01:18:02,371
..I filed a complaint
against the LAPD.
1370
01:18:25,769 --> 01:18:28,737
You ever love something so much,
1371
01:18:28,770 --> 01:18:33,436
you know, you try too hard,
1372
01:18:33,470 --> 01:18:34,971
hold onto it to make it work,
1373
01:18:35,004 --> 01:18:36,604
to make it yours, to make it...
1374
01:18:36,637 --> 01:18:38,805
You know, it's just...
1375
01:18:41,569 --> 01:18:43,937
No.
1376
01:18:45,604 --> 01:18:47,571
It was a long time ago.
1377
01:18:54,904 --> 01:18:56,805
Long time ago.
1378
01:19:07,169 --> 01:19:08,937
Yeah, we need an ambulance
1379
01:19:08,971 --> 01:19:12,070
on Fifth after Wilshire, please,
in Los Angeles.
1380
01:19:12,102 --> 01:19:14,069
We have a man shot.
We have a... shot.
1381
01:19:14,103 --> 01:19:15,504
OK, hold on, I'll get...
1382
01:19:15,536 --> 01:19:18,103
Right on the corner
of Wilshire and Fifth Avenue.
1383
01:19:18,903 --> 01:19:22,470
Death Row had three cops
in its inner circle.
1384
01:19:24,004 --> 01:19:29,236
Right here is a list of every
cop who partnered with Mack.
1385
01:19:29,270 --> 01:19:31,270
- You investigate all of them?
- I didn't have to.
1386
01:19:31,302 --> 01:19:33,070
Because there was
only one stupid enough
1387
01:19:33,102 --> 01:19:36,469
to blow $25,000 in Vegas
with Mack
1388
01:19:36,502 --> 01:19:38,503
two days after the bank robbery.
1389
01:19:40,135 --> 01:19:41,804
Rafa Perez.
1390
01:19:44,670 --> 01:19:47,270
The department forced me
to follow Lyga
1391
01:19:47,303 --> 01:19:49,037
for stealing cocaine.
1392
01:19:49,069 --> 01:19:51,271
Guess who was actually
stealing it.
1393
01:20:26,469 --> 01:20:28,636
Rafael Perez?
1394
01:20:28,669 --> 01:20:30,336
Why do I know that name?
1395
01:20:31,336 --> 01:20:33,837
'Cause I made him famous.
1396
01:20:56,502 --> 01:20:59,169
2-Adam-34,
respond to a domestic dispute
1397
01:20:59,203 --> 01:21:01,170
at 4365 Whittier Boulevard.
1398
01:21:01,202 --> 01:21:04,370
- A husband and wife fighting.
- 10-4, Central.
1399
01:21:11,103 --> 01:21:14,537
This is Officer Perez. I've got
some suspicious activity.
1400
01:21:14,569 --> 01:21:19,336
I'm at 1010 East Cesar
E. Chavez Avenue. Stand by.
1401
01:21:23,103 --> 01:21:25,704
What the fuck?
How about turning that shit off?
1402
01:21:25,736 --> 01:21:28,903
Relax, tiger, relax.
1403
01:21:28,936 --> 01:21:30,803
Wassup? You got
my candy or what?
1404
01:21:30,837 --> 01:21:32,770
Yeah, I found
another distributor.
1405
01:21:32,804 --> 01:21:34,204
Hey, that's good for you,
1406
01:21:34,236 --> 01:21:35,969
but you're not stiffing me
on this, fool.
1407
01:21:36,002 --> 01:21:38,803
I'm not.
I'm gonna get rid of you.
1408
01:22:05,402 --> 01:22:07,937
Shots fired! Shots fired!
Officer fired upon!
1409
01:22:07,970 --> 01:22:10,637
All units be advised,
Officer Perez fired with intent.
1410
01:22:10,669 --> 01:22:13,137
I repeat, Officer Perez
is the assailant.
1411
01:22:13,170 --> 01:22:16,070
Send an ambulance
to this location right away.
1412
01:22:16,103 --> 01:22:18,704
Stand by.
We got 16-38 needs backup.
1413
01:22:18,736 --> 01:22:20,403
Officer Perez!
1414
01:22:20,436 --> 01:22:21,837
Hands in the air!
1415
01:22:21,870 --> 01:22:24,204
The suspect in the shooting
is a police officer.
1416
01:22:24,236 --> 01:22:28,170
Turn around slowly to your left
until I tell you to stop.
1417
01:22:31,070 --> 01:22:32,936
What are you gonna do?
1418
01:22:32,970 --> 01:22:34,837
You gonna shoot me?
1419
01:22:34,870 --> 01:22:36,937
Are you wearing your vest?
1420
01:22:36,969 --> 01:22:39,370
Nah, you're too pink,
motherfucker!
1421
01:22:39,403 --> 01:22:40,804
Arggh!
1422
01:22:40,835 --> 01:22:42,436
- Get down!
- Shit!
1423
01:22:42,470 --> 01:22:44,737
Chest on the ground.
1424
01:22:44,769 --> 01:22:46,303
- Just shot me, motherfucker!
- Now!
1425
01:22:46,337 --> 01:22:48,836
Kick back your legs.
Cross your legs.
1426
01:22:48,870 --> 01:22:51,771
Point your toes. Cross
those legs, point your toes.
1427
01:22:51,803 --> 01:22:53,571
I want those hands out.
1428
01:22:53,603 --> 01:22:55,002
Hands out!
1429
01:22:55,035 --> 01:22:57,203
- Oh, shit.
- Sir, I've called an ambulance.
1430
01:22:57,237 --> 01:22:59,637
It's on its way.
You're gonna be fine.
1431
01:23:06,103 --> 01:23:08,670
- Arggh!
- Mother... Motherfuck...
1432
01:23:08,704 --> 01:23:10,538
Mother... Arggh!
1433
01:23:11,936 --> 01:23:13,802
- Shit.
- Don't move!
1434
01:23:13,836 --> 01:23:16,403
Or I'll blow
your fuckin' head off!
1435
01:23:18,403 --> 01:23:20,771
You gonna kill a cop? Huh?
1436
01:23:20,803 --> 01:23:22,737
You're not an officer.
1437
01:23:22,770 --> 01:23:25,504
You are not a police officer.
1438
01:23:45,102 --> 01:23:48,837
What? You're my escort?
1439
01:23:52,835 --> 01:23:54,703
How's the knee?
1440
01:23:54,737 --> 01:23:57,536
What kind of cop
leaves law enforcement
1441
01:23:57,570 --> 01:23:59,304
to work for a gangster?
1442
01:24:01,202 --> 01:24:02,970
Law enforcement?
1443
01:24:04,370 --> 01:24:07,604
Ain't you got eyes, man?
There's no such thing as law.
1444
01:24:07,636 --> 01:24:10,369
There's never been one
that can overcome man's nature.
1445
01:24:10,402 --> 01:24:11,703
There's incentive.
1446
01:24:11,736 --> 01:24:14,902
Men love two things -
pussy and power.
1447
01:24:14,936 --> 01:24:19,003
And Suge, he has both
and he gives them to men.
1448
01:24:19,035 --> 01:24:21,703
So he got the strongest thing
there is, right?
1449
01:24:21,736 --> 01:24:23,137
Man's weakness.
1450
01:24:23,169 --> 01:24:25,570
And he knows something
you don't.
1451
01:24:25,604 --> 01:24:28,603
Law enforcement
is made up of cops.
1452
01:24:28,637 --> 01:24:32,736
And a cop ain't nothin'...
1453
01:24:32,768 --> 01:24:34,236
..but a man.
1454
01:24:34,270 --> 01:24:37,337
I'll take it
from here, Detective.
1455
01:24:46,070 --> 01:24:47,504
Sir.
1456
01:24:58,202 --> 01:25:00,869
You wanna be a gangster, son?
1457
01:25:02,604 --> 01:25:07,037
We are a matchstick away from
bloodstained streets every day.
1458
01:25:07,936 --> 01:25:10,003
But what stops it?
1459
01:25:10,036 --> 01:25:12,304
Uniform.
1460
01:25:12,336 --> 01:25:14,002
People believe in it.
1461
01:25:14,035 --> 01:25:19,604
But LAPD have put so many
goddamn cracks in that belief
1462
01:25:19,636 --> 01:25:22,069
that people are starting to see
1463
01:25:22,102 --> 01:25:26,270
that the police can't even
police their goddamn selves.
1464
01:25:30,169 --> 01:25:35,170
You will not be another crack
in my force.
1465
01:25:37,002 --> 01:25:39,169
I believed
in the uniform.
1466
01:25:39,202 --> 01:25:41,203
I believed in the oath we took
1467
01:25:41,236 --> 01:25:44,637
to protect and serve
the people of Los Angeles.
1468
01:25:44,668 --> 01:25:48,570
I joined the LAPD
Rampart Division in 1994.
1469
01:25:48,603 --> 01:25:51,937
As an officer, did you
perpetrate illegal activities,
1470
01:25:51,969 --> 01:25:55,870
including robbery,
drug dealings and murder?
1471
01:25:56,768 --> 01:25:58,002
Yes.
1472
01:25:58,035 --> 01:26:01,370
Were other
LAPD officers involved?
1473
01:26:01,402 --> 01:26:03,136
Yes.
1474
01:26:03,169 --> 01:26:07,037
And I believe that
every member of the department
1475
01:26:07,070 --> 01:26:09,171
shared those same convictions.
1476
01:26:11,203 --> 01:26:12,970
We did it all.
1477
01:26:13,002 --> 01:26:16,169
We were a criminal organisation
within the LAPD.
1478
01:26:16,203 --> 01:26:18,103
We were a gang.
1479
01:26:18,135 --> 01:26:20,169
And what was the name
of this gang?
1480
01:26:20,203 --> 01:26:22,404
I believed Perez
was gonna confess his part
1481
01:26:22,436 --> 01:26:27,170
in the LAPD's corruption
by saying just two words -
1482
01:26:27,202 --> 01:26:28,936
'Death Row'.
1483
01:26:28,969 --> 01:26:31,369
Rampart.
1484
01:26:31,403 --> 01:26:32,937
I was wrong.
1485
01:26:32,969 --> 01:26:34,769
Let's reconvene in one hour.
1486
01:26:34,802 --> 01:26:37,137
So you're saying Rampart,
1487
01:26:37,169 --> 01:26:39,269
the greatest scandal
in LAPD history,
1488
01:26:39,302 --> 01:26:43,670
which implicated 70 cops
of corruption,
1489
01:26:43,703 --> 01:26:46,171
was a diversion?
1490
01:26:47,402 --> 01:26:50,669
Mr Ovando,
I... I want to apologise
1491
01:26:50,703 --> 01:26:52,303
for what I've done.
1492
01:26:52,337 --> 01:26:54,404
I'm sorry.
1493
01:26:55,202 --> 01:26:58,069
Yeah, it was bullshit,
and it eclipsed everything,
1494
01:26:58,103 --> 01:27:02,570
especially the Christopher
Wallace investigation.
1495
01:27:06,203 --> 01:27:09,304
Officer Gaines was linked
to the Wallace murder
1496
01:27:09,337 --> 01:27:10,735
and to Death Row.
1497
01:27:10,769 --> 01:27:12,337
But I was told not to look.
1498
01:27:12,370 --> 01:27:16,237
Officer Perez and Officer Mack
were linked to Death Row.
1499
01:27:16,269 --> 01:27:19,503
Once again,
I was told not to look.
1500
01:27:21,437 --> 01:27:23,370
But I had an ace up my sleeve.
1501
01:27:24,369 --> 01:27:27,703
The Gaines family was suing Lyga
and the department.
1502
01:27:27,735 --> 01:27:30,102
And I was the chief witness
1503
01:27:30,135 --> 01:27:32,069
for the defence
of Detective Lyga.
1504
01:27:32,102 --> 01:27:35,036
Gaines was a member
of the Rampart Division.
1505
01:27:35,070 --> 01:27:38,337
He was also an associate
1506
01:27:38,369 --> 01:27:41,703
of incarcerated officers
David Mack and Rafa Perez.
1507
01:27:41,735 --> 01:27:44,204
It's my belief
that these officers
1508
01:27:44,236 --> 01:27:46,836
are responsible for
the planning, cover-up
1509
01:27:46,870 --> 01:27:50,337
and the execution
of Christopher Wallace.
1510
01:27:51,768 --> 01:27:54,203
That's some very
explosive stuff, Detective.
1511
01:27:54,236 --> 01:27:56,702
A murder like that
only goes unsolved
1512
01:27:56,736 --> 01:28:00,003
if the police
don't want to solve it.
1513
01:28:00,036 --> 01:28:02,770
I can't bring that out.
1514
01:28:02,802 --> 01:28:06,137
But remember,
if Cochran gives you an opening,
1515
01:28:06,170 --> 01:28:09,537
when you're on the stand,
you can go there.
1516
01:28:15,936 --> 01:28:18,242
We were ready
for our day in court.
1517
01:28:18,323 --> 01:28:21,247
MAY 1999
COURT - EAST LOS ANGELES
1518
01:28:22,136 --> 01:28:25,204
The theory that LAPD cops
helped orchestrate
1519
01:28:25,236 --> 01:28:27,702
the murder
of Christopher Wallace
1520
01:28:27,736 --> 01:28:30,570
would become part
of the public record.
1521
01:28:48,735 --> 01:28:50,937
But they never let it
go to trial.
1522
01:28:50,969 --> 01:28:55,204
You cut a deal?!
My own team cuts a deal?!
1523
01:28:55,237 --> 01:28:56,770
You're poppin'!
1524
01:28:56,802 --> 01:28:59,403
I wanted to go in there.
1525
01:29:00,602 --> 01:29:03,203
Because this is my life!
1526
01:29:30,099 --> 01:29:32,333
MUNICIPAL OFFICE - DETACHED SECTION 262
1527
01:29:32,380 --> 01:29:35,735
Jack, it's 5am.
Clerk wants us out by 6:00.
1528
01:29:35,768 --> 01:29:38,403
What the fuck are we doin', man?
1529
01:29:40,035 --> 01:29:42,435
Now you've found something?
1530
01:29:46,070 --> 01:29:48,469
Eyewitnesses notice
a black sedan...
1531
01:29:50,136 --> 01:29:53,304
Most of the witnesses
think it was a Chevy Impala SS.
1532
01:29:54,102 --> 01:29:56,669
What are we looking at?
I don't get it.
1533
01:29:56,702 --> 01:29:58,336
I do.
1534
01:29:58,370 --> 01:30:00,371
OK, great. Are we done?
1535
01:30:02,036 --> 01:30:03,237
Yeah.
1536
01:30:03,270 --> 01:30:05,937
We're talking about truth.
1537
01:30:05,969 --> 01:30:10,069
And I've seen so many untruths
1538
01:30:10,103 --> 01:30:14,270
among these so-called officials.
1539
01:30:14,302 --> 01:30:17,270
My mother taught me
something about truth.
1540
01:30:17,302 --> 01:30:19,036
It's a poem.
1541
01:30:19,069 --> 01:30:24,869
She said, "Speak the truth
and speak it ever.
1542
01:30:24,902 --> 01:30:29,402
"Because he who hides
the wrong he did
1543
01:30:29,436 --> 01:30:33,503
"does the wrong thing still."
1544
01:30:35,402 --> 01:30:37,069
Hey, Jack.
1545
01:30:39,502 --> 01:30:42,603
Ms Wallace, this is, er, Jack.
1546
01:30:42,636 --> 01:30:45,403
- This is Ms Wallace.
- Hello.
1547
01:30:45,435 --> 01:30:47,204
I know who you are, ma'am.
1548
01:30:49,002 --> 01:30:54,569
20 years ago, I... I made
a false claim against your son.
1549
01:30:57,337 --> 01:30:59,304
And?
1550
01:31:01,802 --> 01:31:03,635
I was mistaken.
1551
01:31:03,669 --> 01:31:08,536
Well, it takes a big man to
admit that he makes a mistake.
1552
01:31:11,702 --> 01:31:13,702
You're a very kind woman.
1553
01:31:13,736 --> 01:31:15,503
- Would you mind?
- Please.
1554
01:31:15,536 --> 01:31:17,503
Jack, have a seat.
1555
01:31:20,336 --> 01:31:21,770
He's been very helpful.
1556
01:31:21,803 --> 01:31:24,004
- With the case?
- Yes.
1557
01:31:25,103 --> 01:31:28,403
I... I didn't think that you guys
would be on good terms.
1558
01:31:28,435 --> 01:31:30,836
- I mean...
- And why is that?
1559
01:31:30,870 --> 01:31:34,836
Well, I mean, you know,
your family's case
1560
01:31:34,870 --> 01:31:38,636
and... and using his theory
to support it,
1561
01:31:38,668 --> 01:31:40,736
and then it being dismissed.
1562
01:31:40,768 --> 01:31:43,569
Oh, no, the case
was not dismissed.
1563
01:31:43,603 --> 01:31:47,802
- It was a mistrial.
- Huge difference.
1564
01:31:47,836 --> 01:31:51,037
A federal judge caught the LAPD
hiding evidence
1565
01:31:51,070 --> 01:31:54,469
that linked Mack and Perez
to Christopher's murder
1566
01:31:54,502 --> 01:31:56,336
and declared a mistrial.
1567
01:31:56,368 --> 01:31:58,936
Now, here's the kicker -
the City of L.A.,
1568
01:31:58,969 --> 01:32:01,069
they reopened the investigation
1569
01:32:01,103 --> 01:32:04,470
because as long as it's
an ongoing investigation...
1570
01:32:05,270 --> 01:32:08,703
..that evidence stays
locked away in the dark.
1571
01:32:08,735 --> 01:32:11,203
So, we cannot sue LAPD
1572
01:32:11,237 --> 01:32:16,237
because they are investigating
the case.
1573
01:32:17,336 --> 01:32:19,804
I might... I might have
something here.
1574
01:32:20,736 --> 01:32:22,703
It's, um...
it's a search warrant
1575
01:32:22,735 --> 01:32:25,003
for Mack's Impala.
1576
01:32:25,036 --> 01:32:28,636
They found it
after you resigned.
1577
01:32:28,669 --> 01:32:31,903
You know, they pushed you
out of the force,
1578
01:32:31,935 --> 01:32:34,969
saying that your theory
has no merit,
1579
01:32:35,003 --> 01:32:39,036
and then they use your theory -
his theory - to go forward.
1580
01:32:45,035 --> 01:32:46,969
Ms Wallace, this has...
1581
01:32:48,269 --> 01:32:51,570
..been an unbearably long
and painful road for you.
1582
01:32:51,602 --> 01:32:53,902
I'm so sorry
1583
01:32:53,935 --> 01:32:56,535
that you've had to endure
all this.
1584
01:32:56,569 --> 01:33:00,937
You have nothing
to feel sorry about.
1585
01:33:00,969 --> 01:33:05,569
Because of you, I came this far.
1586
01:33:15,003 --> 01:33:17,502
- Hands behind your head!
- You wonder why we push back.
1587
01:33:17,536 --> 01:33:18,937
That's what you call a guy
1588
01:33:18,969 --> 01:33:20,869
who's in the wrong place
at the wrong time.
1589
01:33:20,903 --> 01:33:22,603
Our life
is meaningless to you
1590
01:33:22,635 --> 01:33:24,636
because you have the right
to kill us
1591
01:33:24,668 --> 01:33:26,669
based on your theory,
your perception!
1592
01:33:26,702 --> 01:33:28,936
And why? Because I'm
a young black male.
1593
01:33:28,970 --> 01:33:30,736
Present your wrists.
1594
01:33:32,302 --> 01:33:35,303
Don't resist.
You hear that, motherfucker?
1595
01:33:35,335 --> 01:33:37,003
You hear that?
1596
01:33:38,636 --> 01:33:41,103
The sound of sirens
used to mean
1597
01:33:41,135 --> 01:33:44,536
my brother officers were
on their way to assist me.
1598
01:33:44,568 --> 01:33:48,969
Might have been the sweetest
sound I ever heard in my life.
1599
01:33:52,869 --> 01:33:57,136
I was two weeks from my pension
when I resigned.
1600
01:33:59,401 --> 01:34:01,335
I lost my family
1601
01:34:01,368 --> 01:34:07,436
for a case
that I was unable to close.
1602
01:34:09,535 --> 01:34:14,435
And it's just not supposed
to happen like that.
1603
01:34:32,301 --> 01:34:34,168
We're at the top of the ninth.
1604
01:34:34,201 --> 01:34:36,502
Come on, Russ!
1605
01:34:36,536 --> 01:34:38,469
A crafty lefty on the mound.
1606
01:34:38,501 --> 01:34:42,135
Let's see what we got.
Here's the first pitch.
1607
01:34:42,169 --> 01:34:44,236
And they're playing third base.
1608
01:34:45,135 --> 01:34:47,436
He guns him out at first.
1609
01:34:47,469 --> 01:34:49,603
And we got two down.
1610
01:34:49,636 --> 01:34:51,570
Bases still loaded.
1611
01:34:58,368 --> 01:35:01,902
And there's a shot
in deep left field.
1612
01:35:01,936 --> 01:35:04,203
It's going back, back, back.
1613
01:36:02,702 --> 01:36:04,302
Russell...
1614
01:36:04,335 --> 01:36:07,202
Pick up the phone,
pick up the phone.
1615
01:36:12,702 --> 01:36:15,970
I was a beat cop
when you were here.
1616
01:36:16,002 --> 01:36:18,235
Always looked up to you,
Detective Poole.
1617
01:36:18,269 --> 01:36:20,135
Thank you.
1618
01:36:20,169 --> 01:36:23,837
Russ, if you're really going in,
I'm gonna go in with you.
1619
01:36:23,869 --> 01:36:25,402
We'll go in together, alright?
1620
01:36:25,436 --> 01:36:27,602
Just call me back or text me.
1621
01:36:27,636 --> 01:36:29,937
We still all talk
about you, sir.
1622
01:36:29,969 --> 01:36:32,402
And all the time here.
1623
01:36:36,269 --> 01:36:39,135
But I'm afraid
I can't help you, sir.
1624
01:36:40,769 --> 01:36:43,068
But please don't misunderstand.
1625
01:36:43,102 --> 01:36:46,369
Sir, these warrants, they're...
they're 20 years old.
1626
01:36:48,902 --> 01:36:51,269
Detective Poole?
1627
01:36:52,803 --> 01:36:56,336
Detective Poole?
Are you alright, sir?
1628
01:36:56,368 --> 01:36:58,270
Can I get you something?
1629
01:36:59,269 --> 01:37:00,670
Detective Poole!
1630
01:37:00,702 --> 01:37:02,136
Christ! Call an ambulance!
1631
01:37:02,168 --> 01:37:05,202
Detective Poole?
Detective Poole?
1632
01:37:05,236 --> 01:37:07,236
Can you hear me?
1633
01:37:07,269 --> 01:37:08,670
Stay with me, sir.
1634
01:37:14,835 --> 01:37:17,369
- Stay with me, Russ.
- Mr Poole, can you hear me?
1635
01:37:18,268 --> 01:37:20,035
- No.
- We got no pulse.
1636
01:37:20,069 --> 01:37:21,735
- He's gonna crash.
- Russ?
1637
01:37:21,769 --> 01:37:23,469
- Did anybody see him go down?
- Russ?
1638
01:37:23,501 --> 01:37:25,903
- What happened to him?
- All of a sudden.
1639
01:37:25,936 --> 01:37:28,002
He's crashing, guys.
Come on.
1640
01:37:28,035 --> 01:37:29,904
Heart attack, I think.
1641
01:37:45,934 --> 01:37:47,802
Russell Poole?
1642
01:37:59,535 --> 01:38:03,836
I'm Jack, a friend of Russ's.
1643
01:38:47,501 --> 01:38:50,502
You listen to me.
You don't have the right.
1644
01:38:50,535 --> 01:38:52,635
You don't have
the right.
1645
01:38:52,669 --> 01:38:54,470
You know what I'm saying.
1646
01:38:55,269 --> 01:39:01,170
You close the case, get
a promotion, the shiny object.
1647
01:39:02,002 --> 01:39:05,236
But then you start thinking
that you are the shiny object.
1648
01:39:07,069 --> 01:39:10,336
Come on down from the cheap
seats, look him in the eye.
1649
01:39:10,369 --> 01:39:12,003
Tell him...
1650
01:39:12,802 --> 01:39:14,469
.."I'm sorry."
1651
01:39:22,368 --> 01:39:25,203
Take some pretty good shots
at each other, don't we?
1652
01:39:27,469 --> 01:39:30,336
I'm done.
1653
01:39:34,868 --> 01:39:37,835
I'm a hack, alright?
1654
01:39:38,636 --> 01:39:40,136
I'm a hack
1655
01:39:40,168 --> 01:39:44,168
who forgot how to even do
the right thing.
1656
01:39:44,202 --> 01:39:47,169
So I know what
the wrong thing is.
1657
01:39:48,735 --> 01:39:50,901
Stay on this case.
1658
01:39:50,934 --> 01:39:54,502
Make your boy think that
that's all that you care about.
1659
01:40:28,868 --> 01:40:31,402
Then what was it all for?
1660
01:40:33,735 --> 01:40:36,003
What was it all for?
1661
01:40:54,636 --> 01:40:57,403
Front page, 'L.A. Times'.
1662
01:40:57,435 --> 01:41:01,869
That was one of the best pieces
I've ever read.
1663
01:41:01,902 --> 01:41:04,336
I know. It was good, wasn't it?
1664
01:41:04,368 --> 01:41:07,235
I got to say, Jack,
I'm proud of you.
1665
01:41:08,703 --> 01:41:11,303
We're working on
a new nightly segment.
1666
01:41:11,335 --> 01:41:15,202
We're gonna need
a recognisable face.
1667
01:41:16,602 --> 01:41:20,101
I can't work for a man
1668
01:41:20,134 --> 01:41:23,402
who's in bed
with the very institutions
1669
01:41:23,435 --> 01:41:25,503
that we should hold accountable.
1670
01:41:26,734 --> 01:41:28,469
We have to do better.
1671
01:41:31,235 --> 01:41:34,035
Will you accept my resignation?
1672
01:43:29,146 --> 01:43:32,520
KEVIN GAINES' FAMILY OBTAINED $250,000
1673
01:43:32,593 --> 01:43:35,755
FROM THE AGREEMENT
WITH LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT.

DAVIC MACK'S SENTENCE
WAS REDUCED TO 11 YEARS IN PRISON.
1675
01:43:39,498 --> 01:43:42,178
THE STOLEN $722,000 WAS NEVER RECOVERED.
1676
01:43:44,129 --> 01:43:48,238
RAFAEL PEREZ RECEIVED IMMUNITY
FOR THE CRIMES HE COMMITTED.
1677
01:43:50,261 --> 01:43:55,995

AND TUPAC SHAKUR REMAIN UNSOLVED.

I know dudes. You know what
I'm saying? He real strong.
1703
01:45:18,135 --> 01:45:20,969
So when, like, he got shot,
I was just more like, "Again?"
1704
01:45:21,001 --> 01:45:22,734
You know what I'm saying?
1705
01:45:22,767 --> 01:45:24,302
He always getting shot
or shot at.
1706
01:45:24,336 --> 01:45:25,936
He gonna pull through

1707

make a few records about it,
1708
01:45:27,401 --> 01:45:29,669
and it's gonna be over,
you know what I'm saying?
1709
01:45:29,701 --> 01:45:32,403
But when he died,
I was just like, "Whoa."
1710
01:45:32,435 --> 01:45:34,734
I mean, even though we was
going through our drama,
1711
01:45:34,767 --> 01:45:36,168
I would never wish death
on nobody,
