See below for a detailed recap of "Part Two" of We Own This City.
On March 7th, 2017 Detective Wayne Jenkins is taken from his cell in Howard County Jail for transport to the US District Court lock-up by Corrections Officer D. Prince. Jenkins complains about his arrest and makes claims that he will be freed shortly.
On arrival in the courthouse interrogation room at approximately 9:40 Jenkins tries to get the attention of anyone observing him through the closed circuit television cameras. Then dejectedly reminisces about his career.
A run sheet details his first shift in the Southeastern District as a trainee officer on August 18th, 2003. Jenkins arrives in the district's briefing room and looks at the plaques for fallen officers on the walls. Officer Ed Barber introduces himself as Jenkins' Field Training Officer (FTO) and tells Jenkins they will cover 2-Baker-23 post.
Barber asks Jenkins his sequence number (Henry-383) and marvels that they are up to Henry numbers already when he was issued a Frank number. Jenkins declines coffee and Barber tells him their is no police work without coffee.
Their shift lieutenant enters and tells them the command mandate remains for mass arrests from all indicted corners and drug free zones and that arrests for spurious reasons (known as humbles) are all in play. Officer Brian Hairston complains about the mass arrest tactics, citing the rapid release of those they bring in. The lieutenant claims that by emptying the corners overnight they will reduce violent crime citywide. he warns his officers that anyone not making an arrest will need to explain themselves to him after their shift.
Barber tells Jenkins to forget everything he was taught at the academy about procedure and probable cause, and particularly cultural sensitivity training, as this is Baltimore.
Jenkins is returned to his cell at the Harford County Jail by Officer M. Collins. He passes Jemell Rayam who is making the outward journey to be questioned by the public corruption task force, escorted by Officer M. Miles. Jenkins asserts that he said nothing to the investigators and that they have nothing on them if no one talks to them. He shouts at Rayam to say nothing.
Rayam arrives at the court house interrogation room and is met by Erika Jensen and John Sieracki. Jensen notes that Rayam has waived his right to have an attorney present. Rayam sardonically says he is not willing to pay their £500 an hour fees to be there. Sieracki says that he will need an attorney to meet with the federal prosecutors at the proffer sessions. Jensen reminds him that if he is caught in a lie or holds anything back his deal with them will be jeopardized. Rayam is eager to get going but notes that they might want to keep Jenkins away from the other detainees in the case. Sieracki asks what Jenkins is doing and Rayam says he is urging them not to talk, preaching that they hold the "thin blue line". Rayam notes that Jenkins was always that way.
18 months earlier Commissioner Kevin Davis briefs his plainclothes, anti-crime and drug enforcement officers in the wake of his suspension of Fabian Laronde for attempting to intimidate a witness. He tells them that he will support them fully, up to a limit. He cites behaviour like that of Laronde in filming a witness and a television reporter in an attempt to intimidate the witness is unbefitting of a police officer by anyone's standard. Davis says he will not name the officer in question but notes that he had other sustained complaints. He says that he recognises the need to police aggressively. Jenkins undermines his statements about standards and his efforts to keep the officers name out of the discussion by calling out "free Laronde". Davis counters that Laronde has been suspended and will face a trial board. Davis says that his behaviour was unacceptable and stains them all.
Davis tells the assembled officers that he and Deputy Commissioner of Operations Dean Palmere understand how hard their work is and they will have their backs, to the limit. The officers grumble that they are demotivated as they exit. Davis orders Palmere to bring him Jenkins.
Nicole Steele meets with her team in the Department of Justice Civil Rights office. Bill Burns has found a song by local rapper Young Moose which has lyrics about Officer Daniel Hersl. Hersl's name has come up frequently in their investigation into the standard of Baltimore policing as they work towards a consent decree so Burns has asked Steele to...
David McDougall and Gordon Hawk make final preparations for interrogating Aaron Anderson. Hawk jokes that McDougall needs to check Anderson for a third tracking device after having found two on his car.
McDougall goes into the interrogation room where Anderson is already waiting with Assistant US Attorney Andrea Smith and Detective Scott Kilpatrick. Anderson wonders why he is there as he knows he didn't have any drugs in his hotel room. Smith explains that they are going to charge him with possession with intend to distribute based on his arrest on February 9th, 2015 by BPD officers. Anderson is disbelieving as the charge is old, McDougall explains that he has never worked off the charge. Smith tells him they are trading up and want him to give them information.
Kilpatrick asks about Antonio Shropshire. Anderson confirms that he knows Shropshire, as "Brill", and that he was his supplier but that he stopped buying from him several months ago. Smith asks how they communicated and Anderson says they would use phones to set up face to face meetings. She asks if Anderson could go back to Shropshire, he demures claiming that Shropshire set up the robbery on his carriage house apartment two weeks earlier. He says that he believes that Twan and Munch were responsible and that this triggered his move to the Red Roof Inn. McDougall confirms that they saw that his door had been kicked in.
Anderson claims he would not speak to them if they were BPD because Shropshire has a connection in the department - an officer that he grew up with who looks out for him. He says that the officer is known as G-Money and works in narcotics. Kilpatrick and McDougall are thrown by the revelation.
During his interrogation on March 7th, 2017 Rayam reveals the details of his robbery of Anderson's apartment to the Public Corruption Task Force. He tells them that Gondo was in the car with him and that Glyn Kyle Wells entered the apartment with him. Jensen asks how they knew that Anderson was not home and Rayam explains that they were tracking his car. Rayam says that Gondo avoided going inside as he was worried Anderson might have remained home and would be able to recognise him.
Jensen notes that the apartment was not empty and Rayam agrees that Anderson's girlfriend Te'ana was inside. The interrogation is intercut with flashbacks to the robbery. Rayam and Wells intimidated Te'ana into helping them find Anderson's narcotics. Rayam's guilt free assertion that most people do what you say with a gun to their head gives Sieracki and Jensen pause.
On October 22nd, 2015 Smith meets with Detectives McDougall and Kilpatrick in a stairwell. They discuss the strategy for continuing their investigation into Shropshire. McDougall believes that Anderson's claim that Shropshire has protection from the BPD explains how he is able to run an open air drug market without drawing police attention. Smith is cautious about believing Anderson. She instructs the detective's to use Anderson's information that Shropshire uses the phone to conduct business as part of their request for call logs on Shropshire's phone. She tells them to put the information in the affidavit as coming from a confidential informant to protect Anderson's identity.
Smith also suggests they take a photo array including Anderson's image to any survivors of the drug overdoses that initiated their investigation as this would confirm his involvement in supplying drugs beyond the 2015 possession charge.
Steele tracks down Young Moose's attorney, Mr. Drummond, to a Baltimore Circuit Court room. She introduces herself and explains that she would like to meet his client to get his insight into Detective Hersl as part of her work towards the consent decree. She explains she would like to talk with him on the record if possible or if not as part of her...
Detective Sean M. Suiter and his new partner Jonathan Jones search for their assigned car in the BPD garage. Jones complains that the night shift did not bother to record the parking space where they left the vehicle on the vehicle log. As they search Gondo pulls up and greets Suiter. He asks how life is in the citywide shootings unit and learns that Suiter has transferred to homicide. Gondo questions where the angle is in death investigations, brazen about his pursuit of extra income. Jones is annoyed by Gondo's attitude to their work and asserts that they solve murders and take cases to court before asking what Gondo does. Gondo says he makes both arrests and money. The homicide detectives are unimpressed and Gondo claims he was just messing with them. Gondo wishes them luck with their small time work and drives off smiling.
Jones complains that narcotics units like Gondo's get reserved parking spaces for arresting drug addicts when they have to search for a second rate car to work a murder case. Jones asks for Gondo's name and Suiter explains that they worked plainclothes together. Jones says Gondo is a typical asshole who believes arresting drug suspects on corners and stealing from them is important work. Suiter says he has been there and Jones wonders who is teaching their colleagues that this is police work; cut to Jenkins run sheet.
