00:00 A lot of cops got dinosaur arms when it comes to pulling their gun.

00:03 Not me.

00:04 I've always been aggressive.

00:06 It's the only way to get anything done in my line of work.

00:08 Look, the reason I'm telling you this is...

00:16 I put a lot of time into my job.

00:20 I mean, I cared a lot about protecting this city and the people in it.

00:23 Maybe too much, 'cause...

00:29 I wasn't at home a lot, and I took my eye off my son.

00:31 That's on me.

00:34 But I am telling you right now, I am gonna be up that kid's ass

00:40 until he gets his head on straight.

00:41 I'm gonna get him in a program, the whole deal.

00:43 I got my word on it.

00:44 Good to hear.

00:46 See, the thing is, Justin, that's my son.

00:51 He's got some priors.

00:56 This thing that happened the other night, if there was alcohol involved,

00:58 that's a felony.

00:59 He does time.

01:01 Real time.

01:04 You ever been to lockup?

01:07 You been to Statesville? You been to these places?

01:09 You don't want your kid there. Trust me.

01:12 I'm sympathetic, but...

01:15 that's got nothing to do with me.

01:18 Sure it does.

01:19 You filed a report that said my son was drunk that night.

01:23 He was.

01:25 Well, I need you to retract it.

01:26 Let me tell you.

01:28 I will owe you, big time.

01:32 I'm a good guy to have a favor banked with.

01:35 Kid in the other car.

01:36 Did you know he was paralyzed?

01:38 Yeah.

01:40 And it breaks my heart.

01:42 But there is no sense having two tragedies coming from that night

01:47 and putting ten years on my son would be a tragedy,

01:50 'cause he's a great guy.

01:52 I've been to Statesville.

01:54 You ever been to a spinal injury center?

01:58 The family watches their kid drag his feet

02:03 while gripping some parallel bars,

02:05 clinging to the fantasy that he'll walk again one day.

02:07 And the dad quits his job to help the mom care for him

02:12 and take a second mortgage out on their house to pay for it.

02:15 And on top of that,

02:16 they have to live with the shame that the police

02:19 and fire department shoved a lie down their throat

02:21 that they caused the accident?

02:23 What you're asking me to do--

02:27 I'm not asking!

02:28 If you're not the kind of man to do a cop a favor,

02:35 I can take this to the next level real easy.

02:39 It's the end of your shift, you retire,

02:43 you got your paperwork mixed up, you got your calls mixed up,

02:45 there's a million excuses for you to go to jail.

02:48 And if you don't give it up, there's a million excuses.

02:51 Pick one.

02:53 Because believe me,

02:55 you are gonna retract that statement.

02:58 'Cause if you don't, I swear to God...

03:03 Casey.

03:07 Chief.

03:08 Hey, Chief, uh...

03:17 can you give us a minute?

03:18 It's kind of a private conversation.

03:20 No, I'm good.

03:25 [♪♪♪]

03:29 [♪♪♪]

03:32 I'm not changing a word.

03:56 (dramatic music)
