The Closer

Deputy Police Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson, formerly Atlanta police officer and CIA-trained interrogator, is given the opportunity to run her own division of elite officers of the Los Angeles Police Department. Her unusual procedure for obtaining confessions, blatant disregard for politics, and southern accent make her a marked woman. However, with all the bluster and bravado, she still maintains her title, The Closer.

Unknown Trouble

Mon, Jul 11, 201143 mins

Deputy Chief Brenda Lee Johnson and her Major Crimes unit investigate multiple deaths - 5 men and 2 women - at the home of rap singer Chris Brooks, known as C-Game. A large amount of money was found at the scene and the police suspect drug dealer Antwone Decker of being behind the killings. Jealousy is at the root of it all. Meanwhile, Brenda learns that she and the LAPD are being sued for the wrongful death of Terrell Baylor, a gang member and murder suspect who was released and returned to his home. The suit alleges the police knew he would be killed by his fellow gang members. Chief Delk puts Captain Raydor in charge of a detailed review of how the case was handled.
