"GRANT to GRANT"
INT: FITZ' HOME OFFICE_DAY
Cell phone sounds…image appears on camera.
FITZ saw KELLI, said, "Yes dear?"
INTERCUT PHONE CONVERSATION: LIV to see.
KELLI said, "Daddy… CHRIS want wear his pants right… KATY is chasing him."
Caught on camera Chris, laughing, running, training pants on his head toilet tissue streaming behind him.
FITZ laughing."Tell Chris to put his pants on right."
KELLI said loudly, "CHRIS… Daddy said put your pants on right…He's coming."
CHRIS yells back saying, "So…?" continues to run and hide from the exhausted Katy.
"GRANT to GRANT"
RAY said, "OOooooh you're in trouble…"
KELLI laughs saying, "No desert!"
CHRIS stops, asked seriously, "Is today Friday…?"
RAY answered, "Nope…" KATY shook her head.
CHRIS replied, "So… he's coming when…?"
LIV asked, "I wonder who taught them these things? ...They have your number mister… and they're learning fast… you're a softy."
Chris fell over the stack of pillows there was gales of laughter from the nursery.
"GRANT to GRANT"
FITZ chuckles responded, "We have to direct their paths ... but you have to admit they're funny."
LIV says, "I must admit they're learning almost anything faster than normal… do you think they're gifted?"
FITZ answered, "You could have something there… we need to have them tested… I'll see to that…" he paused then continued, "JASON'S son was kidnapped, given a haircut…he might have been followed I want take that chance. I want increased security for you and my children…just as a precaution."
LIV had a momentary FLASH BACK to the long hall, the red door and the let down when she was
"GRANT to GRANT"
stopped … the frustration during the kidnapping… then LIV said, "I agree whole heartedly we should work on that right away…Get Huck, Omar and Ivan on it especially the burner phones and importantly how to maintain the origin of the calls."
FITZ said, "We agree on this…We should have a TUTOR to guide the children with new ideas … not push them."
LIV said, "We can do that, they're remarkable … sometime they're unbelievable…all walked, talked before they were one … when there was no professional to guide them they spoke with each other, the nurses and us… their dexterity is improving… all created what you see today… you ole softy." LIV said softly looking at Fitz lovingly.
"GRANT to GRANT"
LIV added."We could tell ADELE about our idea… for other kids…we can make this an experiment…"
FITZ said, "Talk…talk talk…Are we becoming an ole married couple… I haven't had a hug or kiss in hours."
LIV said, as she sat astride his lap, "I'm sorry… I would never do that." as she kissed his face between words repeatedly.
He enjoyed every moment.
INT: ASSOCIATES CONFERENCE ROOM_DAY
They're gathered around viewing pictures on the wall of dead policemen.
FITZ asked, "What's different about these photos?"
"GRANT to GRANT"
HUCK said, "Not killed there…no pooling of blood."
QUINN responded, "The body is sitting leaning on the desk, he doesn't seem to fit in the chair… too tall."
FITZ added, "Those are obvious… one wife said there was a tall man or figure seen at some of the killings there are witnesses who may have seen the killer, but there was no investigation to speak of… We need to go back to the first policeman who killed a black or brown man… we need surveillance tapes anything we can find."
HUCK said, "I have CHESTER, OMAR and IVAN on it now."
"GRANT to GRANT"
HUCK continued, "A tall policeman… no one checked to see where he might have been when
he was killed… was he really a patient in that hospital?"
LIV said, "We know we're dealing with a deranged killer…we need to know what's going on in his head."
FITZ said, "Good idea... We have two people we know are tall… one the Dr. BRIGEWATER and number thirteen corpse was a tall undercover cop… check everything." he paused, then said, "I asked DR. DABNEY to come today and give us some insight into what our possibilities are."
QUINN said, "Huck and I have gone through most of
"GRANT to GRANT"
the tapes and photos and found more than two tall
men in the first twelve killings… we're trying to clarify the facial features… it takes a while."
DR. DABNEY entered hurriedly, saying, "I'm sorry to be late traffic is insane at this hour."
FITZ responded, "I know you're busy Doctor… but can you give us some idea what to look for… the killer has to be deranged?"
DR. DABNEY said, "I've read your evidence, so far… I feel I must touch upon three possibilities as I see them…a psychosis is the loss of or out of touch with reality. He has inappropriate thoughts, and is
"GRANT to GRANT"
Delusional, and does not function in reality… The Sociopath usually manifested in childhood… no conscience no sympathy and in childhood there is cruelty to animals and he might have been abused."
LIV said, "Doctor… sorry to interrupt… but the notes he leaves, it appears he has sympathy for the black or brown people murdered by police."
DR. DABNEY replied, "The cop killings, he might have done them for kicks…or they might have triggered something in his past… a person of authority could've abused him… police are authority figures."
"Out of touch with reality, inappropriate thoughts and is delusional, does not seem to fit, according to the notes." QUINN said.
"GRANT to GRANT"
The Doctor asked, "What's more inappropriate than thirteen brutal murders?"
FITZ answered, "You have a point there…"
DR. DABNEY said, "Now I come to the granddaddy of all Psychosis…lastly there's the scary PSYCHOPATH often very intelligent… no human emotions… Lying seems to be a required skill for him…manipulation he treats as a second calling…never… I do mean never… he does not hesitate…and will blow you away in a mille second without blinking an eye… which accounts for the raw brutality of the cop killings… does that help you?"
FITZ answered, "That does give us a lot to think about…Thanks Dr. Dabney for coming."
"GRANT to GRANT"
DR. DABNEY said, "If you need more call me… If I find more I'll call you… Good day… I have to hurry… more nuts to crack…oops sorry a dumb psych joke."
He leaves as hurriedly as he arrived… after a quick hand shake.
There is drumming in the distant from the office nursery.
FITZ said, "I thought we threw those drums away… Liv… sweetheart tell me… please tell me you didn't save them."
LIV laughing said, "I forgot dear…"
She gathered their belongings everyone had a good laugh.
"GRANT to GRANT"
The Associates were gathering their coats bags and other belongings when the door open and CHESTER, OMAR and IVAN entered with an older man.
CHESTER said, "Before you leave I think ASSA JOSEPHENSON has something to tell you … I think you need to hear…have a seat Assa…."
As they stacked evidence boxes beside the table.
ASSA said, "I'm Assa Josephson, a police officer. I'm nearing retirement. In those boxes are proofs of the breakdown of policing in our country."
FITZ said, "That's quite a mouth full… why did you bring them to us?"
"In ten days I'm retiring… I met CHESTER a while back… we got to talking…. I have Macular
"GRANT to GRANT"
Degeneration… I'm going blind…My time is over….The police of today never pay any attention to an old man so they talk… saying any and everything before me… I'm just old Assa they laugh."
CHESYER said, "You should hear some of the stuff done to CARLETON in the middle of the night… I gave ASSA some evidence collecting equipment… It's sickening the things done to Carleton they're trying to force a false confession from him…There are weak policemen who can be persuaded to talk and tell what they were forced to do… just listen… you'll be sick too."
ASSA said, "I've seen things from the beat cop to the halls of Congress… stuff that will blow your mind you want believe … I couldn't when I first started."
"GRANT to GRANT"
LIV and FITZ along with the Associates listened.
ASSA continued, "The Chief of Police in this city is the great grandson of the GRAND DRAGON of the KKK…after Chester fitted me with proof gathering equipment it's all in those boxes… should help with your law suit especially the civil suit?"
LIV asked, "Weren't you afraid… after all you could have been caught… and possibly killed yourself."
"Yes of course, but that was not the point…There're pictures of who and what was done to the kid in the middle of the night... the rookie cops were afraid but not enough to go against the more brutal killer cop community. The skin heads and all the racist cops are scattered through the police forces across our country… there are Congressmen, government,
"GRANT to GRANT"
Workers, Senators in our government out there to make sure the Mud people and others that are not like us… never get their rights." ASSA paused…
ASSA finished with a sigh of relief as a great weight lifted from his shoulders.
A shadow crossed his face as he wiped his eyes.
As an afterthought … ASSA said, "A sitting Judge once said his job was to give blacks and brown a felony number, put them in Jail… that will keep them off the Voter rolls…he made another sick joke… the police were not guilty of murder…they were just thinning out the race… doing his bit for us the right people… those like us… there it is hope it helps."
"GRANT to GRANT"
CHESTER asked, "Well was it worth your time? We have proof positive to change the face of racism in policing in this country."
There was an exhale of pent up relief all around.
FITZ answered, "…Worth every minute… we've been given a treasure trove of information… we can't foul this up… make good use of it… Now my wife and I must pick up our drummers."
As he and Liv left the room.
CELLPHONE SOUNDS IN JASONS OFFICE_DAY

A voice says. "Hi…cousin."
"GRANT to GRANT"
INTERCUT PHONE CONVERSATION:
JASON said, "I thought it was about time for you to show up…How the hell are you JAKE?"
JAKE answered,"I'm good…the family okay?" he has grown a full beard.
"Yes the family is okay." JASON replied...
JAKE said, "I know of your problems here… I'm on it… how about Fitz, did you contact him?"
"Progressing nicely… you know I'm not without
"GRANT to GRANT"
resources myself. … Be ready in seventy two hours at one A.M. we act together… between the three of us we can take care of these crack pots." JASON responded.
JAKE said, "I have some loose ends to tie up…I'll be in touch…Oh and how are they Fitz and Liv…?"
"They're okay… happy."
Connection broken.
INT: GRANT BEDROOM_NIGHT
Papers scattered all around as they read them.
LIV said. "Honey… there's no way we can get all this information into court."
FITZ replied, "You're right… do you still have
"GRANT to GRANT"
contacts in the news media… we need to get some of this to them…"
"CHESTER and his group could get washed paperless information to reporters… is that possible… we could ask Huck." LIV said.
NEWS STUDIO_DAYS LATER:
NEWSCASTER said, "This just in Ladies and Gentlemen…. We have it on good information… the Police chief of Langdon, Kentucky… an advocate of separate and not equal for the races … the good chief has children of Asian ancestry…DNA at the Chiefs insistence… the children's birth proves him to be the biological father of the children…. his ancestry shows his great grandfather was a slave

RAY and CHRIS latch on FITZ' legs and was dragged across the room. Boys saying, "My daddy, my daddy!"
FITZ says laughing, "I suppose this means they're glad to see us."
LIV says laughing, "It would seem so… It's great… I love it… and I love you for chasing me until you caught me."
FITZ answers, "Who caught who… that is the pregnant question…and you are Prego…I love it too… nothing better than this my Doux Bae Bae…"
"GRANT to GRANT"
LIV said… wondering, "I'm curious to know what color this babies eyes will be… we have brown, blue and hazel… what else is there… we could use a gray eyed child."
FITZ said, to the children, "I have to tell you all… you're going to have a new brother or sister."
Ray said, "No thanks we have one sister… why can't we just have a boy?"
"Good question… can you arrange that mommy?" FITZ asked both laughing.
They sat holding their baby's…and listening to their children's day.
"GRANT to GRANT"

He and FITZ opened the door to a bunker… The prisoner visibly nervous and jumpy… sat tied in the middle of the room… his face spattered with blood.

JASON responded, "Good shot… hope it works." Turns to the prisoner said, "You understand what we want?"
THE PRISONER stammered, "Yes…yes... the offices and the books are at the Atlantic Bar and Grill… the offices upstairs until we have bigger space…. Cutting of the hair was a warning… Is that what you want to know?" he looked pleadingly at the two men.
JASON said, "We'll check it out…If we're satisfied
with this mess…we will not talk again … my LU LU
"GRANT to GRANT"
will be waiting nervously…. Check with you later …sport." Pats the prisoner on the back.
The prisoner was wide eyed with relief… that he was still alive.
The two men leave's the bunker.
FITZ saying, "We'll have to have dinner after this is over… at Thunder Bay."
"Sounds good to me… my LU LU will be happy with that… we've heard about THUNDER BAY… look forward to it… we'll be in touch." JASON replied.

LIV asked, "Can I get you something? … I was so worried….I have to go with you from now on."
"No dear I'm fine… I have you and the kids a little safer… that's all I need." FITZ said softly… as they went into the master bathroom.

"GRANT to GRANT"
and an open microphone at the Annual DINERS DINNER…I quote…"My reason for sitting on the bench is to give blacks and browns felony numbers to keep them off the voter rolls."
Loud drunken belly laughter followed.
A noted Senator, who voted against civil rights, said "I want to thank you… too." More laughs.
"Another good ole boy… the Police Chief in fact… thought his sick joke could top that, said, "My policemen are not committing murder… they're just thinning out those races… for people like us."
Gales of back slapping drunken laughter recorded.
"GRANT to GRANT"
Multiple news media picked up the stories and sent them spiraling around the world. All from the dinner were trying to move away from the jokesters… by some denying they were not … there, but the list can't be wrong nor changed.

"GRANT to GRANT"

I found months ago that I might not be your child… I had DNA tests done. I found that you are not … my father … ANDREW NICHOLS is my biological father…Daddy If I can still say that… remember the Secret Service officer killed in the line of duty? Mom was broken hearted… he is probably TEDDY's dad… MOM was drinking heavily one day

FITZ puts the letter aside slowly stands walks to the window to stare out… without focusing.
LIV said, "Are you alright FITZ… honey talk to me." She went to him and hugged him around his middle… he slipped his arms around her … they hugged each other for the much needed comfort.
FITZ replied, "That's a lot to absorb this early in the morning."
"GRANT to GRANT"
Drumming from the nursery, FITZ saying, "I still have the drummers and the little one who just kicked me in the abdomen… little buggers always on time… and most of all I have YOU…."
"The dinner Party is next week… shall we cancel?" LIV asked.
FITZ answered, "No we go on with our lives the past is just that… we can get over it in time… is that good for you my DOUX BAE BAE?"
"I'm with you sweetheart." LIV responded.
They both looked out the window certain of the new beginning.

Jason asked, "How did you manage that."
"I have no idea I think it was LIVs doing."
FITZ answered. … Everyone laughed.
After dinner coffee…CHARLIE a changed man asked JASON saying, "What are you going to do when some guy asks your lovely daughter out?"
JASON smiling replied, "I don't know…I'll probably clean my gun in front of him…that should get the message across."
"GRANT to GRANT"
"CHESTER I've heard great things about you… where did you meet your lovely wife?" Jason asked.
"We met in LONDON where my family owned a traveling show…we stayed in contact for months and was married the next year."
CELESTE said, "He should have told you it wasn't that easy… my father was not so keen on him …because Chester was a trick shot artist … a member of the show… Dad thought he knew too much about guns."
HUCK asked," How did you meet Lu Lu…JASON?"

JASON replied, "I met LU Lu on the big island in Hawaii… I had my first tall ship… in dry dock… decided to check out the island got lost… and had to ask direction at what happens to be her father's home… when I saw her I got lost the next day…"
Lu LU said, "He came back several days in a row finally my dad got the picture… we were married six months later… and here we are." When she laughed deep dimples appeared in her lovely face.
JASON said, "I liked my LU LU going and coming…"

THE JUDGE said heatedly, "There is no bias in any of my rulings…. Never …since I took the bench…shows me bias…!" he yelled.

To the judge… the defense and the jury….she continued saying…"He was swarmed by five Policemen arrested and taken to jail….Carleton tried to tell them he was not their killer.

POLICE MAN answered, "The Chief said never hit him in the face… it would be seen in court… he said I want a confession, do you understand?"
QUINN points out, "And yet he has a broken wired jaw he'll have to wear that jaw stabilized for weeks, drinks fluids for that time, and then soft foods…, raped repeatedly…a flailed chest and a fractured leg… how and when did all that happen?"

The outer door open and CARLETON was wheeled into the courtroom. he looks around then writes on a pad…that read, "The Chief raped me three times."
Surprise was frozen on the Chief Polices' face…he turns and talks to his Lawyer anxiously in whispers.
His attorney shakes his head adamantly.
The Police Chief stood, saying "I want to testify…Your Honor… that's my right Your Honor."
THE JUDGE agreed, saying, "Yes bring that man
forward… are you finished with this witness."

"No… no… I take the fifth… I take the fifth! "The chief shouted.
THE JUDGE said, "CHIEF you ask to testify… now you can't take the fifth… you can't answer the questions you choose and refuse those you don't like … Now answer the questions I want to hear your answers."
QUINN asked, "Are you the same police chief who attended the DINERS DINNER and said… I quote 'Your police were not committing murder of black or brown men they were just thinning out the races'? …
Laughter was loud and back slapping fun for you all."
"GRANT to GRANT"
The Chief started to answer…

on the way back here now waived his rights out of remorse…you see chief he wanted her back… your kind of people was a wife beater."

"I'm done with this witness … your honor."QUINN said.
The police Chief appeared a defeated old man …saying, "No contest … your Honor."
"GRANT to GRANT"
His Lawyer threw up his hands in disgusted defeat.
