WORK.
HE COMES IN TO CLAIM THE CHILD AND WE HAVE A COURTROOM.

I THINK I WAS THE MINSTREL.

AND YOU PLAY THE POLICE COMMISSIONER ED DAVIS.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AND WHAT'S HIS ROLE IN THE STORY?
HE'S A CO CO CONCILITATOR, BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER, THE POLICE.
IT'S AN IMPOSSIBLE JOB TRYING TO QUELL THE FEARS OF THE CITY.
YOU HAVE ANGRY COPS, PEOPLE ANGRY AT THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY.
JUST TRYING TO QUELL THINGS AND INTENSIFY A MANHUNT TO GET THESE
GUYS OFF THE STREET.
THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY DOWN HERE.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP HERE AND IT IS THE F.B.I. AND
THE BOSTON POLICE IN THE ROOM TOGETHER TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHETHER TO RELEASE PHOTOGRAPHS THEY HAVE TO HAVE THE TSARNAEV
BROTHERS.
>> THOSE ARE NOT OUR GUYS.
MEANWHILE, YOU GUYS ARE NOT CLOSER TO IDENTIFYING THE TWO
WE'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR.
WE NEED TO RELEASE THE PICTURES.
>> WE'LL HAVE ZERO CONTROL.
IF WE PLAY OVER OUR HEAD WE MAY FORCE THESE GUYS TO REACT.
>> GENTLEMEN, RIGHT NOW BOSTON IS WORKING AGAINST US.
NORMALLY YOU HAVE A MURDER, NO ONE RATS.
WE DON'T GOT THAT PROBLEM BECAUSE IN THIS CITY WHEN IT
COMES TO TERRORISM, EVERYONE WANTS TO TALK.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING BUT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE
WRONG PEOPLE.
RELEASE THE PHOTOS OF THESE GUYS, TRUST ME, YOU HAVE TO LET
BOSTON START WORKING FOR US.
>> I UNDERSTAND BOSTON BUT I CAN'T JUST SNAP MY FINGERS.
THIS DECISION GOES ALL THE WAY UP TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
>> THEN GIVE ME HIS NUMBER.
I'LL CALL HIM RIGHT NOW!
THIS IS MY CITY, RICK!
RELEASE THE DAMN PICTURES!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: JOHN, THANKS SO
MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
