- Mr. Murdock.

- A moment of your time, please.

A moment of your time, please.

There have been rumors swirling around about your stance

on organ trafficking.

Care to comment on that? - Absolutely.

Let me be clear.

I will dismantle the system of corruption

that has plagued our community and our world for far too long.

Organ harvesting, organ trafficking--

I will root out every bit of it by any means required.

- But how do you plan to achieve that?

It's a lofty promise.

- Yes, I'm aware there's a bigger system in place,

and I'm not afraid to face it head on.

Anyone, no matter how high they are up,

will be brought down to the lowest level.

What I'm suggesting is that there

are powerful, prominent figures who are

engaging in such practices.

It's the only way a worldwide operation like this can exist.

I, Hudson Murdock, will hold them all accountable.

And I will not rest until justice is served.

What camera am I looking in?

If you are listening, you're out there,

the exploitation of human life for profit

will not be tolerated in our society.

If you are engaging in such reprehensible practices,

you will be found and you will face the full brunt of the law.

Thank you.

I got to go.

- Mr. Murdock, just a few more questions.

- Social engagement is skyrocketing,

but Nova is nowhere near to be found.

- Okay, well, let's-- let's-- let's get Ramsey to handle

it until she gets here.

- Put your hands in the air.

Don't touch anything.

You had to rebuild that code.

Why couldn't you guys just leave it alone?

- Here's a better question.

How long have you known you was one of them?

- Yeah, I need some answers now, Nova.

We've been friends our whole life.

- I-- I really don't have time for this.

I have a debate to get to.

This is Hudson's night.

[suspenseful music]

?

[crunch]

[exhales] But as your friend, I know you deserve answers.

- Our friend?

Bitch, if you was our friend, you wouldn't be holding

us at gunpoint right now.

- That part.

- Either you want to hear this before you die or you don't.

- Are we supposed to keep our hands up?

[theme music]

?

- Seven years ago, I was at lunch with my mom.

And a cousin was having a baby.

And as tradition, the elders of our family chose the name.

And for the first time, I inquired about my name.

Hold on.

Wait, why did you guys name-- you name me Nova, right?

Or was that-- - Yes.

- Was that Dad?

Why?

She explained that I was named after the supernova,

the last beautiful light before a star explosion in space.

I thought about it for days.

Like, how come everyone in my family

was named after something to do with space or the sky?

So I went to her again.

This time I truly needed an explanation.

So she took me to the elders of my family

because apparently, I started to ask the right questions.

And they explained that we were descendants from another world,

a star.

And so right then and there,

my great aunt stood up

and looked right at me.

And her face, her face turned into something

I've never seen in this planet.

She said, order must be maintained.

We must remain hidden, because that's

the only way we can exist on this planet and rule it.

You know what I did next?

I ran-- like, no fucking way!

I was not a Better, and I was never going to conform.

And I could never utter a word of this

to anyone, not even my best friends.

- To what do I owe this pleasure?

- Let's skip all the pleasantries.

You have failed to contain your brother.

- Hudson was on the news this evening,

discussing his plans concerning the police

force and organ transplants.

- I know.

He's overzealous at times, but--

- You promised that he would be malleable.

He has proven not to be the man to be

put in a position of power.

- I'll talk to him once more, and I will

have this situation handled.

- He has a debate this evening.

We want him eliminated.

- Eliminated from the race?

I think that's an overreaction.

- No, not eliminated from the race.

Carnifico.

- I'm sitting in that jail cell facing

75 years for hacking the Betters by robbing nine

of their banks.

And as you know, I was released just like that.

But when I got home, my great auntie

told me that she walked right into St. John's Church

and told Pastor Murdock to have me released from jail

and wipe my record clean.

She said that he may be head of one of the nine families.

But she, an elder, had all the power to-- to shapeshift,

to-- to see into the future, to understand all languages.

She said that she possessed great empathy and discernment,

but she was to be feared.

I laid in that jail cell thinking my life was over,

but I was wrong.

Tyler wanted to know how I hacked the system,

wiped my record, and walked out of jail.

Well, there is the answer.

I didn't.

No, that's a feat too extraordinary,

even for the best hacker.

- I can't believe you've been one of them

this whole fucking time!

- Yes.

- We will not and cannot tolerate corrupt-- corruption--

no, no, no, no, no, no, no--

hypocrisy, hypocrisy in the police force.

- Mr. Murdock, we will begin shortly.

- Okay, thank you.

- I just don't understand what any of this

has to do with killing Hudson's wife.

- [exhales]

After Pastor Murdock had me released from jail,

he told me I would receive a text or a call

from time to time and I was to obey the request

or face the consequences.

I got a call about Dr. Murdock and I obeyed the request.

That's all there is to it!

- You wanted to kill her because you're

infatuated with Hudson.

- I'm in love with him.

There's a difference.

And I would have gotten away with it

if Tootie hadn't been the stalker side chick from hell!

- But you were the one who got us inside the house

to find clues about Dr. Hudson's murder.

And you killed her.

- I wanted to find out what evidence, if any,

was left behind.

But Osylus went upstairs instead of me.

[phone buzzes]

- Wait, Jackson, you set him up?

Didn't you?

- Funny thing about Jackson.

I really did leave the house to get beer that night,

but I got a text saying that Jackson

was on foot in our vicinity, along with the word,

"carnifico."

When he left our house,

I alerted the Betters.

- All that shit they put us through, you got him shot.

- Sit your Black ass down!

- What the hell does carnifico mean?

- Execute.

- So you see a picture of a person with the word carnifico

and you take them out?

- Yes.

- And what if you refuse?

- Once you receive that text, it's either them or you.

And I'm not dying for nobody!

- All of you are evil.

- Nova still isn't here yet.

I'm going to text her.

- No.

I don't want her here.

- Pardon me?

- I'm letting her go.

I don't think she's the right one for the job.

- Understood.

- Yeah.

- He doesn't want me there.

He doesn't want me there.

Why?

No, no, no, no.

This is a mistake.

I'll just go to him and tell him how I feel, and--

and everything will be okay.

Story time is over. - Hey!

- Please!

[knock on the door]

- Help! Help us!

- It's Tyler.

Open up.

- Say another word and I will shoot

that boy through the door.

- Hey, Tyler.

Come back later, okay?

- Huh?

Doesn't Osylus need help with the flash drive?

- Come back later, Tyler.

- All right.

- Nova, you better not pull that trigger.

[gunshots]

- Is-- is she gone?

- Everyone, please excuse my brother and I. We--

we need a moment.

Everyone, please, exit.

Thank you.

- Hey, look.

Hey, I need to be in the right headspace for this debate.

You are not the one I need to be

arguing with right now, okay?

- I didn't come in to argue. I did not come here to argue.

I'm here to ask you not to go out there.

Look, just-- just walk away from all this.

- What are you talking about?

- Look, I don't have time to explain.

Okay?

Regardless of all that we've been through,

I'm still your big brother.

I'm just asking you to trust me, man.

Just walk away.

Leave the country for a while.

You know, go relax on the island, take a vacation.

- A vaca-- what the hell are you talking about?

- I don't have time to explain.

Please, just trust me.

- Ha.

Your jealousy, it's unbelievable.

You don't want me to have nothing, huh, not a wife,

not a lover, not this mayorship?

- It's not true.

- Nothing. - It's not true.

- You know what?

I'm not going to let our personal issues

overshadow this campaign.

Those people-- those people out there, they believe in me.

- It's not about those people.

I'm not talking about those people.

I'm talking about you.

Listen to me.

If you go out there, I'm telling you, they're going to--

- I just need my phone.

- If I go out there, I may win this election, huh?

Is that it?

- I love you, little brother.

I love you.

- I love you, too.

- [sobbing]

[phone alerts]

[ominous music]

?

- One of y'all need to go check and see if she's still there.

- One of us?

- Yes.

One of y'all grown ass, testosterone-filled

men need to go and check and see if she's in the hallway.

- I guess that'll be me, seeing how

Osylus just got out of the hospital

and Tyler's not even a damn man.

- Bro, the insult, after I just saved your life?

- Without further ado, please join me

in welcoming our first candidate, Hudson Murdock.

[applause]

And our incumbent, Mayor Barry.

[applause]

Here we have it, folks, your two candidates

for Washington, DC, mayor.

- Wait, how did you open the door without a key?

- It was a digital door.

I just hacked it.

I thought the Betters were in here.

- Nova is a Better.

- What the hell?

- No time to explain, but we gotta get to work.

- What are we doing?

- Something that can get us arrested.

- As usual.

- Mayor Barry, what specific plans do you have in place

to address displacement to long-term residents

due to gentrification?

- This is a concern that my opponent

would know nothing about as he was

raised with a privileged life.

- Hmm.

I understand that my upbringing may differ from a lot

of residents in this city.

But I want to emphasize that my personal background does not

diminish my commitment to address the challenges

of gentrification.

- Do not adjust your devices.

We are interrupting this debate to inform

you of an important message.

What we're about to show you is graphic and violent.

You may want to remove any children

from your TV or devices.

- The station is attempting a counter-hack.

- I see them, keeping them at bay.

- [exhales] okay, good.

Do your best.

- And some of you may want to look away.

Now.

- Hey, turn this off.

Turn this off!

- No.

No.

- Wait!

Wait!

- Nova.

Nova.

[screaming]

- Oh my god.

What is Nova doing?

- You have to pay for what you've done.

You used me, turned me into something I'm not.

You have to pay for it.

- Nova, don't do this.

- I'm sorry.

[gunshot]

- [grunts]

- No! No.

- Freeze.

- Somebody call an ambulance!

- Goddamn!

[gunshots] - Hold on! Hold on!

Call an ambulance!

Help!

Hold on, hold on.

[organ music]

?

- ? When peace like a river

? Attendeth my way

? When sorrows

? Like sea billows roll

? Whatever my lot

? Thou hast got me to say

? It is well

? It is well

? With my soul

- Good morning.

Thank you all for coming out today.

I stand before you to make a difficult and

painful announcement.

For the past few months, I have pursued the esteemed position

of Mayor of this great city with a vision of progress

for our community.

However, recent events have brought to light a truth

that I can no longer ignore.

I've made a mistake.

And it has forced me to reevaluate

my candidacy for mayor.

I've come to realize I can no longer, in good conscience,

pursue this position knowing that I have

covered up a serious crime.

The truth is, I was complicit in the murder

of my beloved wife.

I understand the gravity of my decisions.

I'm prepared to face the consequences.

But I will no longer allow the pursuit of power

to overshadow the truth.

[gunshot]

[screaming]

[ominous music]

?

- What's up?

- Hey.

- Well, it's a nice day to be waiting

for me outside my apartment.

- Yeah, it is.

- So, how are you feeling?

- Both my uncles were killed, and my mom and my aunt

passed away.

How would you feel?

- I would feel sad.

- Yeah, that's what I am.

- Listen, if you need anything, I'm here.

- I need time.

I'm really not seeing anybody right now.

- So why you chose to see me?

- I didn't like the way we left things.

I apologize for my tone and for the way I acted.

- I apologize, too.

Look, I know that was a lot of information

about your family at once.

- It was information that wasn't true.

- I'll leave it alone.

I just want to be your friend.

- I need to know if we can truly be friends.

I mean, you believe I'm something I'm not.

I will never be one of the Betters,

if they are a real thing.

- Yeah, yeah.

We can be friends.

You want to take a walk?

- Yeah.

[fireworks exploding]

- Rumors of aliens invading a Miami mall

is going viral tonight.

Every police officer responded to the alleged

invasions of aliens who were said to be 10-feet tall.

Witnesses are coming forward with their stories,

saying this is no longer a conspiracy theory, folks.

- You see?

Your alien cousins is causin' a ruckus in Miami mall.

- Well, they must be my cousins,

seeing as though they went to the mall of all places

on Earth.

- Look at you making a joke about it.

That's good.

I guess it's good you don't really believe in this

stuff anyway.

Because if you did, we wouldn't be together,

the conflict of interest.

- So we're together now?

- I mean, I don't just bring anybody up here.

It's understood. Don't got to be explained.

- Uh-uh. Yes, it does.

If you want me to be your girl, then you have to ask me.

- [clears throat]

Will you be my girl?

Yes or no?

- Um, yes.

- Wait.

I've never kissed an alien before.

I don't--

- Don't take the joke that far.

- Too far?

- Yeah.

Come here.

- Wait.

This is what my husband ordered?

Okay.

DeAndre needs to get out of the bathroom right now.

That's-- that's it.

I don't need anything else.

- All right, we'll be with you momentarily.

- Mm-hmm.

Ah, I wish you would hurry up, DeAndre.

[club music]

?

[restaurant chatter]

- Courtney.

- I'm sorry.

I'm not Courtney.

- Damn, I swore I saw you get killed.

- Okay.

- I mean, you look like somebody I once knew.

Damn, you could be her identical twin.

- I don't have a twin.

I mean, I wish I did, though.

That would be cool.

- Huh.

- What the fuck?

- You know, that happens to me, like, all the time.

- Maybe you got a clone.

You know, clones are a real part of our society now.

They're really out here.

- Okay, okay.

Wait, please, not another conspiracy

theory tonight, all right?

My brain can't take it anymore.

- Girl, you know you like when I talk about these

conspiracy theories.

Turns you on, don't it?

- Maybe a little bit.

[music playing]

?

- ? I'm out of my mind

? Girl, I'm sorry.

? Let's take it slower

? Do it like no one can

? Do it like no one can

? If you don't care

- All right, look, I need to get something to drink.

- Oh, yeah?

Don't worry about it, baby, I got this.

- No, no, I'll get it.

My feet hurt, first off, and I need a break, so.

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

- All right. - Have fun.

- I'll try.

- Mac, can I please have a water?

- Water? - Yes.

- You know I love you drinking responsibly and all,

but I can't make no money off of you.

On the house, baby.

- Thank you, Mac.

- Hello, how's it going?

Can I get a pineapple vodka?

- You got it.

[chatter]

- Oh, your feet must be hurting, huh?

- Did you just change your whole fit?

- Beg your pardon?

What are you talking about?

- Shit.

- What the hell?

- Holy shit.

You have a twin?

- No, nigga.

- And you are?

- Who the fuck are you?
