(female #2) 'Tweak it and clean it. Correct the pitch. Bam.'
(woman on tape) 'Shanning..'
Sounds like some sort of public announcement system.
Yeah. And near a railroad station.
(woman on tape) 'Shanning.'
Sh-Shanning Station.
The old train tracks in North Philly.
They closed that station some time in the...early 80s.
Uh, a lover's lane.
Oh, and you know this from experience?
Not a soul around.
Just you and the stars.

Yeah.
You're not gonna find that box job down here.
'This one was one of our own.'
Never left homicide.
Thirty years.
Three shots to the heart.
One year on the force.
- Washington? - Mm-hmm.
He just graduated from the academy.
Worked in the 27th district.
Raised in a North Carolina orphanage.
A stint in the military before entering the police academy.
And Washington was responding to a domestic call.
Never made it there, a few hours later
they found his body near the Shanning tracks.
Blood spatter matching Washington's blood type
was found in a stolen vehicle
left on a turnpike two days later.
It was mostly a dead end, and we lifted
a fingerprint off the car windshield. No hits.
Maybe we run the print again.
I'd like to work with you on this one, Lilly.
I knew Joe Washington.
You knew his partner?
Of him. Butch Rinaldi.
(Rush) Why wasn't he with Washington that night?
(Rinaldi) 'I let him go out alone.'
Shouldn't have done that.
He must have pulled over a motorist
that ran a traffic light or something.
Joe got three bullets for his trouble.

(Rinaldi) 'Diane lost the baby a few weeks later.'
You last saw Washington at 12:00 midnight.
That's when our shift ended.
On the tape, there's a train horn
seconds after the gunshots.
We checked train schedules at the museum.
Only one arrival that night. At 1:00 a.m.
So we can place time of death
about an hour after you saw Washington.
But, uh, Shanning's only, uh, five minutes from the precinct.
Maybe he wasn't headed to the domestic.
He said he was, clear as day.
According to the logs, dispatch sent another call
ten minutes after the domestic.
(Jeffries) 'Drug activity at the Raymond Jennings Project'
where the tape recorder was found.
If Washington responded to that call, the timeline adds up.
Raymond Jennings wasn't even in our district.
Why would Joe go there and not tell no one?
That's what we gotta find out.
[train chugging]
I did live in the Raymond Jennings Project, young lady.
And I called the police that night.
My tax pays your salary, you know.
Thirty years is a long time to remember
a call you made, Miss Gloria.
I remember real good, sir. You want to know why?
'Cause those damn police actually came for once.
What does that mean?
Black folks from the project callin'
on Friday night, police don't come.
But that night, that black cop showed up.
And he gets to fightin' with the drug dealer.
- What drug dealer? - Never saw him before.
But after I called the police, I went out to see what happened.
Not expectin' a damn thing.

The dealer called him Joe?
Joe this, Joe that.
That black cop must have come around the projects regular.
'Cause he knew enough not to park at the curb.
Those drug dealers will see him a-coming a mile away.
What did the drug dealer look like?
Skinny, young, black.
Struttin' around like some sorta crazy rooster.
My eyes been bad since forever. Can't tell you more.
But I did hear those druggies callin' him The Runner.
- What? - The Runner.
'What kinda name is that?'
(Rush) 'Thank you, Miss Munez.'
Washington called the killer that on the tape.
The Runner.
'Cause he knew him.
They both knew each other.
Real well.
(Jeffries) I did patrol of the Raymond Jennings Projects in the 70s.
Never heard the name, The Runner.
Guy ain't in the system anywhere.
No arrests, nothin'.
So how did this Runner and Washington get so cozy then?
And how did Washington know those projects enough
to know where to park when he didn't even work that district?
Maybe he had it in for drug dealers.
Washington's patrol log.
Radioed in calls on dealers in his district constantly.
Got into two altercations.
There's a lot of hate here.
Love hate.
No arrests on his record.
Smoke and mirrors?
Hmm, acts tough for appearances' sake
but he's really on the take?
Bank records don't show cash coming in
but there was cash going out every few weeks.
These didn't cover his usual living expenses.
He wrote clearly marked checks for those, and..
...these sums are big enough to stand out.
So what are we thinkin'? He buying drugs?
No, addicts clean out bank within a couple months.
This doesn't follow that pattern.
So what was he doin'?
Maybe his widow knows.
(Diane) 'The Runner?'
No, I never heard of him.
(Rush) How long were you married, Diane?
Ten months, two weeks.
Was Joe a big spender?
Um, first year of marriage and all.
No, we just got the house.
Why?
Um, these checks he wrote for cash every few weeks
um, do you know what they were for?
He got me flowers every Friday.
'And movies.'
We went to movies all the time.
But I never thought it would amount to that much.
[sighs] I thought things would be different by now.
That I'd be different.
Time makes things worse, not better.
Maybe time also finds the truth.

My little girl.
'Anyway..'
Um..

Detective Rush?
Could you tell from the tape..
...whether Joe was in pain when he died?
No.
He wasn't.
(Rush) 'I don't know if Diane was telling the truth'
about the money.
'Wonder why she was never asked about it.'
Maybe Butch has an idea.
Tonight's first Thursday at the Tavern, right?
Bet he'll be there.
You're not going to first Thursday.
Why not?
The old timers don't take too kindly
to women crashing their night with the boys.
Too bad. It's a new world.
Look, those dinosaurs are bad enough sober, Lilly.

I'm saying go see Butch in the morning.

[whistling]
- Ow! - Hey.
[indistinct chatter]
Wife know you're on a date tonight?
Hey, Butch. You know Detective Rush.
How you doing, Butch?
This one's for Joe Washington.
And all the guys who died on the line.
- Yeah, Joe. - Joe.
We gotta talk.
Yeah, Diane called.
Told me about the crap you came asking. About Joe's money.
There was money going out of his account.
You know what it was for?
This ain't no place to bring a lady, bro.
Any ideas about the money, Butch?
No.
Turns out Washington knew Runner real well.
I hope no one's trying to associate
my fallen partner with, uh, some drug dealer.
- How do you know Runner, Butch? - She thinks she can come in--
- Just answer the question. - Smearing a good cop's name.
Hey.
I'm the one asking the questions.
So, what's your question, detective?
Was Washington paying someone off?
You know who we got here, boys?
The only female in homicide
workin' cold cases. Know why?
Maybe you ought to sit down, Butch.
'Cause it's in the basement
where the little lady can dust down the files.
[laughter]
[music continues]
So how did it go at the Tavern?
Ass handed to me.
Does that surprise you?
I think Sarreti, the assigned on the case
suspected the drug angle too.
In an interview, Sarreti did with Deante Rollins
heroin dealer, his territory was Raymond Jennings
in the early 70s.
Like Sarreti was wonderin' about the cash himself.
Mmm, but we can't ask him 'cause he keeled over
from a heart attack last year.
[sighs] And back then, Deante wasn't sharing.
What about now?
Maybe he's learned to play with others.
[cell door buzzer]
Never heard of no Runner.
You sure about that?
Like I say, never heard of him.
(Jeffries) 'And your word is bond, Deante.'
My name is Brother Jamal.
Sure it is. Asalaam a fakim, my brother.
Like you know what that means.
What does it mean, Jamal?
Peace be with you.
Have you found it yet?
- Peace? - It's a journey.
There is no it.
There is no end.
A tough road, redemption.
Yes, especially when you're dealin' smack
to women and children.
I never sold to children. Ever.
Back in the day, we was businessmen.
Organized chains of command.
None of this teenage gangsta bull today.
- You were disciplined. - That's right.
Working those basketball courts.
- 24/7, 365. - Never missed a day.
So you were there that night Washington got killed.
And you must have seen the fight.
Yeah, I seen it.
You don't own this, man.
Oh, I own this. I own you.
I own everything you is, Joe boy.
And the cop runs up into the projects.
What was he doing?
Few minutes later, he comes running back down.
Sam!

Who's Sammy?
Reason Runner and his homie split
'cause of something that happened to her.
Who was his homie?
All's I know is they was tight.
'Had the same tattoo on their knuckles.'
(Ray) 'Here we go. Joseph Washington's autopsy photo.'
'From the original negative, I printed onto'
technical pan film and then transferred
onto high contrast slides.
From what you asked, I figured
density slicing might do the trick.
What's that?
It's when you take each scale of gray
and you print it as pure black and white.
Is that the best you can do, Ray?
Matter of fact, I did better.
And better.
'And better.'
(Rush) 'So that's how Washington knew The Runner.'
Washington hung with a small-time heroin dealer
called The Runner in the early 70s.
Oh, we checked juvie records in the court history database.
'Used the tattoo as an identifying mark.'
Meet the real Joe Washington.
Seventeen years old, arrested for selling smack.
Gave the arresting officer a false name.
That's why police background check missed it.
In a North Carolina orphanage?
Fairy tale.
He grew up in Raymond Jennings.
Straightens out. Starts flying right.
- Joins the military. - 'Then the police academy.'
Gets married, and...we know the rest.
So Washington buried who he was from everyone.
Even his wife?
I never knew those things about him.
He never told you where he really came from?
There were other things he was hiding from you, weren't there?
Someone robbed you, Diane..
...of your husband, of your child.
'Don't you think he should pay?'
Everybody wanted to remember him as this golden boy.
Great cop.
Great husband.
I didn't wanna rain on their parade.
By doing what?
I knew he was..
He was involved with somebody else.
Married less than a year and already cheatin'.
What a joke.
One afternoon, he went out to the shooting range
and I needed something from the store.
So I called him.
He wasn't there.
He never showed up.
'When he came home that night'
I said, "Hey, baby, how was target practice?"
And he said, "Fine.
'It was fine."'
I'm sorry.
'He'd go out two, maybe three times a month.'

Detectives Rush and Jeffries. Homicide.
'We just had a few questions.'
About Joe Washington?
(Jeffries) Oh, your homie from high school?
Your little drug-runnin' buddy?
I knew Joe. What's your point?
The night he was murdered, we got witnesses
in the projects saying you two had a fight.
I don't remember no fight.
(Jeffries) 'Of course not.'
Remember what you were fighting about?
I'll say it again, I don't remember.
How about Sammy?
'Do you remember her?'
Your point being?
Oh, the girl had a lot of problems, and from what I hear
you had something to do with it.
Whatever problems Sammy had
were Joe's doing, not mine.
That's not what I hear.
I hear it was all on you, Mason.
Then I suggest you check the hospital records yourself.
He was the one who brought her in, not me.
Now, if you don't have anything else
'I'd like to enjoy my afternoon.'
Oh, uh, one last question.
How does one go from selling smack to selling Jags?
Children do dumb things.
I'm sure you did too, Detective Rush.
That isn't who I am now.
(Rush) 'Sammy was like a little sister to Washington.'
He felt responsible for her
so he flips when she starts muling drugs for Mason Tucker.
The night of the murder, Washington hears
a radio call about drug activity
at the Raymond Jennings Projects.
And from the description, he knows it's Mason?
No, he goes to the projects, fights with Mason
gets Sammy's grandma to okay his plan
to get her out of there, but when he comes back down..
(Jeffries) 'Sammy's gone.'
Washington hears Mason took off
for the railroad tracks.
He follows.
And that's where he ends up dead.
And Mason drops off the face of the earth.
Only to re-emerge as a law-abiding
yacht-owning citizen years later.
Deante talked about an incident that went down
between Mason, Sammy and Washington
years before the murder.
Do we know what it was?
Only that it put her in the hospital.
Mm-hmm. Please, don't let it be that.
We gotta look at it.
The nearest emergency room is St. Joseph's.
Well, the best person to ask is Sammy herself.
Check narcotic intelligence.
(Vera) 'Just got the news.'
We got a hit on the fingerprint inside the stolen car.

So you spend your whole life running.
(Joe on tape) 'Runner! Runner! Runner!'
[gunshots]
[train chugging]
(Mason on tape) 'Our Father'
'who art in heaven.'
What are you doing here?
'Hallowed be thy name.'
- 'You're praying.' - 'Thy kingdom come.'
'Thy will be done on earth..'

You were asking for forgiveness.
Remember?
He should have never tried to change things.
He should have never come back.
He should-he should..
He-he..
He was all the love I had in this world.
Joe was looking for forgiveness.
I think you are too.
'It's time, isn't it?'
'To forgive yourself...Runner?'
[siren blaring]
Runner!
'Runner!'

Hi.
I wanted to come here, Diane
to tell you about Sammy.
She wasn't your husband's mistress.
She was a little girl at that time Joe grew up with.
That he loved, and he had a-a debt to her.
So I brought her home to you.
