Who reads the newspaper anymore?

Do I know you?

No, but I know you. You're Jackson, a guy who can hack anything.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I bet you don't.

Take it and leave now.

What's on that?

Hack it and find out.

What's it all about?

Ladies and gentlemen, you don't have to guess. This is a robbery. Now put your

fucking hands up. Not you.

Go through the back door, take the flash drive, and take... Him down.

We can't leave these people alone in our apartment. We have Ophiolus and Kevin.

They don't live here.

And Ophiolus ain't got no home training.

Look at him.

Ophiolus.

Cut it out.

Not in front of our guests, okay?

Nikki, you live next door. You can just go home.

Thank you.

No, you stay here.

The store is down the street. Sis, look, you're not going by yourself at night.

Come on, this is D .C.

We were born and raised in D .C. I'll be fine, okay?

Love you.

Do not believe what just happened to me. This girl came in the diner. She gave

me a flash drive. Was she hot?

What? I don't know. Listen to me. She told me to hack it and then she just

robbed the place.

Lucy's diner?

Yes. She held everyone at gunpoint but told me to leave.

She is dead.

It was literally just on the news.

Trying to stand off with the cops. They shot and killed her. Shit.

I don't think she really wanted to rob the place.

It's like...

She was trying to get me out of there so I can hack the flash drive.

So, hack it.

I don't want to get involved.

This shit is crazy.

Then I'll hack it.

Plug it in and share your desktop with me.

Share it.

Got it.

Password protected?

Yeah, let's hope he needs that, okay?

Code's corrupted on the file.

I think it needs to be reconstructed.

It looks like a digital video file.

Some of it's corrupted.

It'll take some time to reconstruct.

I'll play what I can.

Is that that politician guy?

Hudson.

Fuck! This ain't good, dude. No fucking way we just watched that.

Wait.

You see that in the code?

Yeah.

There's a tracker initiated.

I think there's someone in my house.

You sure?

Oh, my God. Jackson, get out of there, run!

Pete! Pete!

Dang.

Number one bites the dust.

They want that flash drive.

They say he in the area.

Jackson? Is that you?

It's me, Nova.

Remember me?

Hey, Nova. Hey.

Wow, I haven't seen you, what, since high school graduation seven years ago?

Uh, yeah.

How are you?

Um, all right. I'm good.

I am actually having a get -together. Are you busy right now?

I live right here.

Um... Do you have somewhere to go?

Actually, nah, nah, I don't. Perfect.

Okay.

No, thanks.

Okay.

So, what are you doing with yourself these days?

Um, just IT stuff.

You?

Um, I work with Hudson.

Actually, the one running for mayor.

Kevin and I run his IT department.

Uh, I can tell something is wrong, Jackson.

You have the grip of death on that flash drive.

A friend of mine... A

friend of mine died.

I'm so sorry.

Maybe being around your old high school friends is exactly what you need.

I mean, you shouldn't be alone.

Good day, everyone.

I just need a minute.

It

doesn't

make any sense. The atmosphere is not built for us to be there. It's not.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. So you mean to tell me that we

land on the moon in 1969?

Someone teach him.

Listen.

The moon landing was done in a film studio to make everyone, especially

believe we landed first.

Okay. Word.

That shit should be called the big cap extortion.

Come on now.

Y 'all are doing way too much with this conspiracy theory.

Nah. Look, the government left nothing more than your ass to be ignorant and

misinformed. Same with the bettors.

Who the hell are the bettors?

Who are the bettors?

Yo, please get your boy.

Look, that's a conversation for another day, all right?

Just know that my organization, Human in Black, we on their ass.

Let me ask you a question, Bob.

When they planted that flag on the moon, explain to me how the flag was waving.

Waving the air. What you mean?

Ain't no air on the moon.

It barely has any atmosphere whatsoever.

Therefore, no wind.

Think, my nigga.

And the wind...

It's just the horizontal motion of air.

Ergo, the flag didn't wave.

Thank you.

Jackson, what did you do?

What's up?

Jackson Fields?

What's up, man?

Yo, y 'all don't understand.

Jackson, me and him go way back.

We used to get into so much shit together.

You remember back in the day when we hacked into the school system and

all the grades to straight A's for the seniors?

Thank you.

I remember.

What's up, boy? Jackson, you want a drink?

I'm cool, yeah.

Yeah, it's good to see y 'all, though.

Yeah, likewise, dog.

Just walking by, and I ran into Nova.

Literally. Oh, so you live around here?

Just a few blocks away.

What? Wait, you've been living around here the whole time, and we never knew?

Bro, we got to link up, man.

Nah, I can't. Bullshit.

Hey, have a seat. Yo, Bobby, don't sit down.

Have a seat, bro.

Have a seat, bro. Come on, Jackson.

Relax, bro.

Here, let me take your backpack.

Nah, I got it.

Stop it. You can't sit here comfortably like this.

Bro, you want a drink?

Nah, I'm cool. I'm cool.

Yeah, I appreciate it.

So you know that moon shit is just cat.

Oh yeah, nah. It was clearly in the studio.

I'm going to say one more thing about this moon thing so we can move on from

this conversation.

Bobby, listen closely.

In order to navigate to the moon, one would have to cross through the Van

radiation belt.

There it is.

What is that?

Glad you asked.

Now, there is a radiation belt between the Earth and the moon that a spacecraft

would have to cross through. It carries 30 million electron volts.

Now,

2 ,000 volts can kill a human being in an electric chair in two minutes.

Dave. Two minutes.

So, traveling through 30 million volts to the moon and 30 million

volts back to Earth, did a human being ever truly travel to

the moon in 1969? And if so...

Why has no human been back since?

Boom. Because we never went to the damn moon.

Exactly.

Thank you.

It hits different when you have the facts, don't it?

Hey, here's some facts, y 'all.

Facts.

Hello?

P .O. Jackson.

Yo, you alright, man?

I gotta go.

What?

So soon?

Wait, what?

Wait, you sure you gotta leave right now? Bro, you just got here.

I can't.

Come back anytime.

It was good to see you.

Yo, you just gonna dip like that?

To the dumpster, please, and thank you.

Yes, ma 'am.

There was a tone in your side there.

Yeah.

Hey,

what's in that bag?

Hey, what's in that bag?

Calm down, sir. Look in that bag.

Gym clothes, man. Leave me alone.

I need to see inside this bag.

You can't stop or detain me without proper clothes. Can I be on my way? I

to see inside your bag. Don't reject.

What was that flash drive?

They shot him.

They shot him. They shot him. They shot him. Who?

Your friend that was just here.

Jackson? Yeah. Who shot him? The police.

They stopped him. And then he started running.

And then they shot him in the back. No, no, no.

I don't know where he's... I was right here.

They were over there. I wouldn't make this up. Then where the fuck is he?

Look, look, look.

Okay, I recorded a video.

Oh.

Oh, God. Okay, um... We need to call the police.

How much distance that make if the police just shot him and took him?

And more importantly, was he dead?

I don't know. He fell.

That's all I know.

What do we do?

We gather as much intel as possible, find out what we can.

Anything will help. What do you want me to do?

I know how to find out things.

Morning. Morning.

Any luck on finding Jackson?

No.

You're hacked into every database in every hospital around this area. No one

the name of Jackson Fields was admitted to the ER.

This is a nightmare.

I know.

I don't understand any of it.

I gotta run.

Hudson is speaking with the District 7 community at his brother's church, so

going in early before his day gets started to talk to him about Jackson.

Okay.

Well, we were able to find all of Jackson's personal information, so

I are going to go to his house and see what we can find.

Can you post it?

Later.

Can I help you?

Who are you?

Oh, I'm the new admin, Corinne. I was told to sit here and check people in as

they come through the door.

That doesn't mean me. That means visitors. I work in the south.

Understood. But I'm still going to need to check you in.

I'm just doing my job.

Little girl, I don't have time for this. I need to speak to Hudson, okay?

Well, I do have time for this.

In fact, I have all day.

And my uncle isn't here yet.

So you're his niece?

Mm -hmm.

I'm Nella Handlerith.

I run IT, social media.

I apologize for speaking to you that way. Mm -hmm.

When your uncle arrives, can you please let him know that I need to speak to him

about an urgent matter?

I'll think about it.

Good morning, Corinne.

Hey, Uncle Hudson.

Oh, Nova wants to see you.

Okay.

Nova, my office is now if you need to speak.

Damn.

Look at this.

Someone tried to break into Jackson's house already.

Clearly security is a priority around here.

Look, I don't think we should go inside.

Of course we should.

Just don't touch anything.

Of course.

The computer's gone.

Somebody wants to know what he knows.

Okay. You have my undivided attention for five minutes.

Because we have to be in church in one hour. Go.

Okay. Well...

Something happened last night. Well, if it has anything to do with tequila, then

they might want to take that to Jesus and not me.

What?

That's a joke. Continue.

Um... Okay, um... So, what happened was... No,

stop.

Take a deep breath.

Exhale.

Have a seat.

Tell me what's going on.

A friend of mine was shot and possibly

killed by police officers and is being covered up.

Are you sure about this?

Yes. He was at a get -together at my apartment.

He said his friend died earlier.

He was shook. He received a phone call.

And then he left.

And shortly after, he was shot just up the street from my apartment.

And we went outside to find out what was going on, but his body was gone.

And there was no sign of the police, or a crime for that matter, and no mention

of it on the news.

But I have this.

Okay, what's on this?

I actually haven't had a moment to check.

All I know is that...

Jackson Fields, that's his name, was frightened and holding on to it for

dear life.

I think it has something to do with it.

Okay, we need to get this to the proper authorities. We shouldn't tamper with

this. But sir, the cops are in on it. I don't think we should give it to them. I

understand, but I have people that I trust in high places I can give this to.

Okay?

Now you say you saw this take place.

I didn't, but...

I know someone else who did see it. Okay, look.

Look, I need you to get whoever saw this.

I need you to get them down to the church so we can talk to them, okay?

Thank you. Yes, of course. Come on.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You told Hudson, didn't you? Yes, he's going to help. Actually, I need to text

Tyler now to come talk to him. That's not a good idea.

You can't just volunteer Tyler to talk. He's still a kid, man. Well, our friend

was shot, and Tyler is the only one who saw it.

He needs to tell Hudson what happened.

This is dumb as fuck.

Wait, wait, go back up real quick.

I know him.

Yeah? Yeah, nah, um, he's a little off.

But I met him at a convention last year. Pretty decent hacker.

Okay.

He kept following me around everywhere.

What? What, he was, like, stalking you?

Nah, nothing like that.

Well, much like you, he was a fan of my skills.

All right.

Look, we need to talk to him.

I'll DM him.

He'll definitely hit me back.

Okay, cool.

In closing, I want to thank you all for coming out today to express your issues

and concerns for Southeast D .C.

I look forward to working with you all as we work to make the necessary changes

once I'm elected.

Tyler, this is Hudson Murdoch, who's running for mayor.

Nice to meet you.

And his brother, Pastor Murdoch.

Pleasure.

They can help.

Help what?

Jackson, tell them what you saw last night. I don't know what she's talking

about. I didn't see anything.

Um,

one sec.

Tyler!

Stop!

Why didn't you tell them I saw anything?

Because you did.

What the hell, bro?

Hudson's brother is a pastor.

And that means what to me exactly? It means they can help me find my friend.

Jackson is either missing or dead.

Look, I want to help you find your friend too, but I'm not giving anybody a

statement.

You're not my friend for putting me on blast like this.

I didn't mean to. Save it. They shot him and then the body was gone.

For someone in a conspiracy, you sure are clueless.

He didn't want to talk.

Um...

No, that's not it. I was mistaken.

So if I listen, I found nothing at Jackson's apartment.

Place was a mess.

What's up?

Get some juice? Nah.

You're going to have to come back another time.

We can't have company.

Yo.

I didn't have to excuse her.

Alexis.

Her mother never hugged us as a child.

So I'm going to have to call you later, all right?

What's going on?

She had Tyler give a statement to Pastor Murdoch in Hudson without Tyler's

consent.

And he didn't talk.

Come on, no.

Wrong move.

No damn way you can't put that boy in a spot like that. I know.

I told her. I know, okay?

I mean, we are detected.

We need help to find out what happened.

I thought I was doing the right thing.

You know, you always do.

But that doesn't matter anyway because...

Our investigation skills are on point. I mean, we've been at it all day.

There's something else.

What?

Relax.

Jackson took my backpack on accident last night.

Okay.

What was in it?

My water bottle, my jacket, my lip gloss.

Okay, got it. Nothing important.

I beg your pardon?

What's more important was what was in his bag.

I never mentioned to you guys that Jackson was clinging for dear life to a

drive.

Then he put it in his backpack, and when he left, he grabbed my backpack by

mistake.

Okay, but let's see what's on it.

Well, I kind of gave it to Hudson today, and he locked it in his desk.

Yo, you're feeling through this, dude, that your judgment all messed up.

You look at him like he's some kind of hero.

I'm just trying to find Jackson. That's it.

Okay.

We need to get the flash drive back.

Okay, well, he was too busy to go back to the office today, and

he's at dinner right now with the senator.

So it's still in his desk.

Hmm? It's still in his desk!

So, we fill it back. Period.

And y 'all sure there's no cameras out here?

No, it's just a pop -up oven.

You got it?

Oh, finally.

God dang it.

Quiet, quiet, quiet.

Jelena.

I'm swapping the flash drive with an empty one.

All right.

Here we go.

I'm killing the Wi -Fi.

Hey, Mom, make sure you cloak yourself before going into that flash drive.

Duh.

There's a built -in code for backdoor entry. Okay, don't go too there.

Could be a setup by the person who built the code. Do I need to do this? Shut

up. I've never had to do this under these circumstances.

And come on, Kev, don't be a rookie. That's the first mistake any average

would make. Are you sure you are completely hidden? Listen.

I'm sensitive about my shit.

Yes, we are hidden.

Bingo.

There's a GPS virus tracker that gets activated as soon as you go through the

back door.

Yo, whoever built this code can track your location in seconds.

All right, well, kill that, Joe.

Kill.

That's corrupted digital video here.

Can you play any part of the video?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Yo,

is that Hudson?

Oh, my God.

Damn. Yes, that's him.

Oh, shit.

What?

There's a second tracker outside the flash drive. What? I thought you killed

I can only kill the tracker in the cold.

In order to kill the one in the flash drive, I have to dismantle the whole

stick. And if you do that, everything on that drive will be lost. You don't

think I know that?

Look, we only have a few seconds before whoever this is knows where we are. Take

it out of this. Get it, get it, get it.

Come on.

Oh, shit.
