a bystander got hit,
and he was just a guy on his way home from work.
- Clerk said the offenders were both male and white.
She could see their necks under the mask.
She saw them pass the door strip.
She said that one was 6'0", and one was 6'4".

are these zip-ties, which were used to restrain the victims.

It's been torched. It's actually still on fire.
Reported stolen about a week ago.

No prints, no DNA?
No. There's no pictures either.

It was a three-man crew doing home invasions.
They arrested Shane, tried to get him
to flip on the others.
He wouldn't do it. He's old-school loyal.
He ate the whole charge.

is communicating with burners.

Born and raised in Bridgeport.
She's got zero criminal history.
She's got an eight-year-old daughter,
and she works part-time as a florist.

- I mean, it wasn't a coincidence
that she was at a check-cashing store.

she didn't give me up as a cop to her husband,

- You're a cop? This guy's a cop?
- Just keep your hands where I can see them.
- There were sounds of violence coming from the house.
- I got frustrated and I broke a vase.
Is that against the law? I never touched her.
- Is that true?
- We were having a argument.
- Did he physically hurt you?
♪
- He grabbed my hand. - Get up against the wall.
- You were holding my keys! - Stand up against the wall.
Put your hands behind your back.
Don't move. You're under arrest.
- For what? For arguing with my wife?
- No, for domestic assault.
- Michelle, tell him. Tell him it's not true.
Tell him!

- Huh.
- Sarge. - Uh-huh.
- I know we would've had him on the murder,
but I couldn't just sit there.
- So what did happen?
- You talk about being in the moment all the time.
I was in the moment,
and the noises that I'm hearing coming out of that house,
I know she's in danger, so I acted.
- This an apology?
- No. I would do it again.
- Huh.
Look, Jay, I mean, I know how you're wired.
Through the heart.
Someone's in trouble, you just go.
That's part of what makes you you.
I made peace with it.
I don't think you could be any other way.
So where's Shane Sullivan now?
- He's in lockup.
- All right, good.
We still got one last play left.
- Let me take a run at him. - No, I got this.
- You people come into my house
and accuse me of hurting my wife?
I never touched my wife.
- That's not why you're here.
You're here...
'cause you've been hitting check-cashing stores
with Mike Brady and Eric Walsh.
And on the last job, you killed this man.
That's why you're here.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- You sure about that?
'Cause right now, your two partners
are down the hall, and they're each
getting a chance to tell their story.
- We don't think it was you that pulled the trigger
and killed him.
We think it was Brady.
But we need you to testify to that.
Only one of you will get this chance.
- Look, Shane, you tell us what happened,
I might be able to work out a deal with the ASA.
- Sounds like maybe I need a lawyer.
- Yeah, maybe.
Problem is, you bring in a lawyer,
that deal goes away.
I gotta tell you, you add felony murder
to your résumé...
That's game over.
You know that. You're going away for life.
[dramatic music]
What's it gonna be?
- I think you're fishing. - Hmm.
- And if you're not, then bring it on,
because I sure ain't gonna help the cops,
especially after you used my wife
and turned her against me.
That's the lowest thing you can do.
- You know what? We did try to use your wife.
You're right.
We tried.
But she wouldn't cooperate.
She didn't say anything about you.
She protected you the whole way.
- Did she? - Yeah, she did.
Probably because she's terrified
of what you might do to her.
You remember this night?
The night you put her in the hospital?
Mother of your daughter.
You remember it?
♪
Let me ask you something, Shane.
Do you feel more powerful when you beat up a woman?
Does it make you feel like more of a man?
- As I recall, she fell off her bicycle.
- Hmm.
- Now, can I have my lawyer, please?
♪
- We had no choice, Hailey. We had to go in.
'Cause who knows what that guy might've done?
- Yeah. No, you're right.
We didn't have a choice.
- Thank you.
[cell phone rings]
- And we got nothing else on Brady and Walsh?
- Nothing. Crickets.
- Yeah, they'll lay low for a while, but...
they are who they are, and they'll hit again.
And when they do, we'll nail their asses.
- So I just talked to Michelle.
She's shaken up, obviously, but she's willing
to press charges against her husband,
so at least we'll catch him on the domestic.
- Well, that's good news.
I'll talk to ASA Boyd, get it fast-tracked.
Let's slap him with every charge we can.
- Come on.
- I still can't get ahold of her.
- Not surprised.
- I'll keep trying.
- Par for the course with abuse victims.
Nothing's harder than putting your own family in jail.
But we need these domestic charges to stick.
- Yeah.
Hey, do you mind sticking around for a minute?
- Yeah.
- Hey, Trudy, do you know what cell Shane Sullivan's in?
- Uh, Shane Sullivan...
is not in a cell.
He was transported to domestic court
and then released.
- Released?
- Yeah. No complainant showed up.
- When was this? - Two hours ago.

Come on. Let's go.

- I don't know how you went through this growing up.
- Hmm.
Every situation's a little different.
My dad would come home drunk after being out all night.
My mom would say something to him.
He would snap.
[melancholy music]
I was little, so I just put a pillow
over my head to try to make it all go away.
But you know, she would come downstairs the next day
with a bunch makeup on, trying to cover it up.
You could still see the bruises.
Every time, we would tell ourselves it was the last time.
But, of course, it would happen again,
and they were just in this terrible dance.
But you know, I would close my eyes,
and I would wish that somebody would come in
and just put him in his place.
Do what you did.
You did a good thing, Jay.
