-Because you make me a better man.

-Kendrick, whose child is this?

That's Tina's child.

She's your daughter, too, isn't she?

??

-Yo, I really don't know why we here, but since we are,

Who the fuck pulled the trigger on my cousin?

-I will find out who's behind all this,

and I will take them down.

-Not on my watch.

-August 30, 2017,

my uncle was killed by an intoxicated driver

on a motorcycle.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

And it's like -

And it was right up the street from my house,

so, all I'm doing is walking to the store

to get something to drink,

and I just see my uncle laying in the street.

It's like - like my whole life just...

got taken away.

Like, I couldn't breathe. I couldn't speak.

It's just like, I was speechless.

It was like having that feeling, someone you see every day,

talk to every day, ride motorcycles with,

it's like...

it's gone in quicker than an eye.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, I miss him.

It's just...

having that feeling, getting on a bike,

going this place or that place,

or being able to explore things, and be myself.

It's like, after he left,

it's just, all that just caved back in.

I didn't have - It just felt like I was alone,

and I had nobody to talk to.

You're not by yourself.

Like, you need somebody to talk to.

Just come to me, or come to your mom.

Or if you're not - if you don't have a mom,

write everything down.

Like, if you feeling hurt, write it down.

Pray to God.

And it will come your way. It will help.

??

??

-This is all my fault.

I dragged Ray Ray into all of this.

-Baby, look, we have talked about this a hundred times.

-It should have been me.

-Don't say that.

Don't say that.

I need you.

-My homie's gone...

forever.

-It's okay.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

??

??

-That's her.

??

My daughter.

??

-I'll make arrangements with the funeral home.

-Are you gonna collect DNA evidence?

-For what?

-For murder.

-Without a doubt, the craziest night I've ever had.

-I found my soulmate.

-You really think so?

-I know so.

-Jillian keeps calling.

-Just tell her I'm not dead, so there's no more confusion.

-Hello?

-Yo. Hello. Is this Jazmine Tran?

-This is she. -Hi, Jazmine.

[Indistinct]

This was the only number we had [indistinct]

Do you know how to reach Ray Kennedy?

-He's my boyfriend.

-Uh, hey, what's up? This is Ray.

-Okay.

Well, who is Jazmine in all of this?

-My manager.

-Okay, well, we're putting together tour right now

with Travis Scott and Ugly God,

and we wanted to know if you would be interested

in being an opening act.

-Yes, he would. -Yes.

Yes, I will. I will.

Thank - Thank you. Thank you.

-Excellent.

We'll be calling you again when we have more details.

But congratulations.

-Okay. Thank you.

It's happening? It's really happening.

I love you.

-I love you more.

??

[Sirens wailing]

-Hey, Chief.

You see [Indistinct]?

-I just left him.

Robert, in God's name, what were you two doing?

-We trying to create a truce between the two gangs,

to prevent any more bloodshed.

[Indistinct] stop and frisk thing [indistinct].

-A truce?

-His wife is [Indistinct] from Denver Harbor.

Plus, he headed up a gang task force in that division

for the last couple of years.

so, he thought he had men.

I tried to go with him, but he refused.

We thought we had everything under control.

-Looks like the complete fucking opposite.

-Sorry.

-I'll say I knew about this in theory,

but from now on, I need to know every move you make.

You feel me?

-Yeah.

-Speaking of the fucking devil.

Chief Lewis.

Crazy night.

-Jenkins.

Brian from Internal Affairs.

-You must be Robert Kennedy.

-That's me.

-Sorry about your partner.

-It wasn't my partner,

but he did head up a gang task force in my division.

-Well, I'll be investigating this incident

for Internal Affairs.

Mind if I ask you some questions?

-There'll be plenty of time for that.

Let's give Robert some space.

??

??

??

??

-I'm gonna get them motherfuckers.

??

-Hey.

-Robert?

-What are you doing here?

-[Indistinct] got in an accident - a bad one.

Yeah. I'm here to see him.

-So, my partner got shot. It was all over the news.

Wait, wait, Tony? Your Tony?

What is he doing out of prison?

-He said something about a bunch of drug cases being dropped.

-The new ADA.

She must have dismissed over 100 cases last week,

saying they were tainted.

Look, I'm just happy that it wasn't one of the boys.

A big shootout, left a lot of bodies.

-As a matter of fact, I haven't heard from Ray Ray last night.

Have you?

He said he was going to go see his girlfriend.

Wait a minute. I have Bam's number.

[Sighs]

[Phone rings]

Bam.

Hello? -It's me.

-Bam, this is Mina. Have you heard from Ray Ray?

Bam?

-He's gone.

Ray Ray's dead.

Ray Ray's dead.

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

-Tell our story.

??

-Did he rape you?

??

??

-Did he rape you?

Did he rape you?!

-What? No. Mom, that's my boyfriend.

I love him.

-Jazmine! I said, "Did he rape you?"

-God, stop, Mom.

[Indistinct]

??

[Gunshot]

-[Screams]

??

[Gun cocks]

-Daddy, no!

??

??

-And then, they tried to insinuate

that Greg had a scheme to wipe out the gangs in the Nickel.

Wanda.

-Hmm?

Oh, uh, I'm sorry you had a bad day, baby.

-Yeah. Thanks.

So, how was yours?

-Oh, uh...

you know, it was nothing much.

And I decided to, you know,

just look at cute decor for our baby's room.

-Wait, what?

Cute decor for the baby's room?

-Yeah.

-Wait.

Really? Don't play with me.

-[Laughs]

-Are you serious? -So you're not mad?

-No!

Look, if you are happy, and you want this,

then, I want it even more. Come here.

[Water running]

[Clattering]

[Clattering]

[Phone ringing]

[Phone ringing]

-Hello?

Wait. Okay. Okay. Slow down.

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

What?

When?

Okay.

All right.

[Door opens, closes]

??

-Mom, how many times do I have to tell you?

I was not raped.

-She's 16 1/2 years old.

There's no way she consented.

-But I did.

-It's okay.

We're gonna check for vaginal lacerations

and any other irregularities.

-Do you also do bloodwork, like checking for STDs,

and stuff like that?

-Mom, really?

-Yes. We're definitely gonna take some blood.

It's part of the rape kit.

-Okay.

Also, I gave her a plan B morning pill,

so, just in case it comes up in the tests.

-Okay. Thank you.

-Thank you.

-I can't believe this.

-Believe it. I will press charges.

-Mrs. Tran? -Yes?

-Hi. Officer Joe Lin. -Hi.

-[Indistinct] with the Cyber Crime unit.

I'm here to help you ladies out.

-Can we talk outside? -Absolutely. Sure.

I read your initial complaint that you made over the phone.

A Black teen named Ray Kennedy raped her?

-Yes.

-Are you sure it wasn't consensual?

-She's 16 years old.

She doesn't know any better.

-An accusation of rape is far more serious

than statutory rape.

It's a felony offense.

By any chance, was it consensual?

-I don't care what you want to call it, okay?

I just want his Black ass arrested.

Okay?

??

??

-Thank goodness.

[Knocking]

Grandma? You doing okay?

-[Speaking Spanish]

I'm good.

-[Speaking Spanish]

-I made some phone calls,

and I checked into the hospital admittance records.

There is no evidence that Ray Ray's body

was found at the scene.

-Mama.

-Jesus.

Thank you, God.

Are you okay?

-Yeah. I'm all right.

Are you all right?

-I heard you were dead.

??

-Girl, are you trippin'?

-[Speaking Spanish]

He's good, too.

You didn't take your blood pressure pill.

The blue one?

-[Speaking Spanish]

-Grandma, you want to get better, don't you?

Don't you?

You have to take these.

??

There you go.

??

Let me see.

Gracias.

-[Speaking Spanish]

I'll see you later, okay?

??

-Thank you for throwing me this bone.

-Don't worry.

I got your back.

[Clears throat]

-Five, four, three...

-Kendrick Davis is the councilman

presiding over the Fifth Ward.

Councilman, what is your reaction

to the gangland violence

that occurred in your neighborhood last night?

-Well, Allyson, I came as soon as I heard.

Frankly, I'm shocked and deeply saddened

that such an occurrence could happen here in the Ward.

My condolences goes out to all the families involved.

The death of Latasha Washington

is still fresh on the community's mind.

And now, there seems to have been

a spike in gangland violence over the past few weeks.

Can you comment on that?

Yes. Um, I -

Listen, I, too, think of the Latasha Washington.

However, that was an isolated incident.

Now, as far as the gangland violence,

I can assure you all that my office

has been working tirelessly

in cooperation with the police department

and the mayor's office

to find a finite resolution to this ongoing issue.

Look, I'm from the Fifth Ward,

and I've had enough, you know, frankly.

Not on my watch.

I will not allow something like this

to affect the livelihood of our residents, so...

-Thank you, Councilman Davis, for your time.

-Thank you, Allyson.

-This is Allyson Latham, Action News.

See?

That'll win you some bonus points.

Dinner tonight? -Uh, sure.

-Arrest him! He raped my daughter!

-You're under arrest. Get our hands on your head.

Hands on your head. Get down.

??

??

-Now, you have to understand that you're 18 already.

You could be tried as an adult.

-I didn't rape her.

Look, this is all a misunderstanding.

-I believe you, Ray Ray.

What does this mean?

-Anywhere from 5 to 10 years, if convicted.

But there's a couple of ways that we can fight it,

including plea bargaining.

I'll see what I can do.

In the meantime, the court has set

a bond hearing in a few days,

and we'll see our options after that.

-Is his lawyer any good?

-Oh, she's one of the best.

-Man, this is great. -Here they are.

-How's Ray Ray?

-Your brother's doing fine.

-Look, I'm gonna put in a few calls,

make sure nobody fucks with him.

Let's go wait outside for your mama, little man.

-Wanda. Thank God.

I feel so much better already.

-Well, of course.

Lettie's husband, Greg, works with Rob, so...

-How's he holding up?

Any changes?

-No changes. But he's stable.

-Well, we'll definitely be keeping him in our prayers.

-Thank you. -Yeah.

-And you don't worry about Ray Ray.

I'll take care of him.

-Thanks. -No problem.

I'll see you later, girls.

We'll be in touch.

-She's good. She'll take care of him.

Girl, [indistinct]

??

??

-How did you get in there?

-Privilege.

-Right. Well, this is a city building,

so I'm gonna ask you again, how did you...

get in here?

-Marcie let me in.

-Privilege.

Well, you can take your privilege, and get out.

Thank you.

Now...

-I trusted my baby to you for that summer intern program,

and you got her pregnant.

Admit it - you murdered her, didn't you?

And I'm gonna prove it.

??

-Look, Reverend, I...

-You were there, weren't you?

Answer me!

-I don't answer to you.

-You'll answer to that.

That's a court order summonsing your DNA sample,

based on the evidence that they found at the crime scene.

Let me see you tap-dance your way out of this one, Kendrick.

??

-Parker, we were lovers.

You know that, right? Right?

I mean, we have a daughter together.

So why would I ever want to hurt her?

Why are you doing this?

??

-You'll find out soon enough.

??

??

??

-You okay?

-[Sighs]

Maybe Cheryl was right.

You know, everyone that gets close to me,

it seems like something bas always happens.

First with Ray, then with Tony, now Ray Ray.

I don't know, boo, you better run.

-I'm not running.

I told you the other day you make me a better man.

[Indistinct] more.

-How's that?

-Ever since I found out we was having a baby,

I...I just want my son to be proud of his father.

-What if she's a girl?

-[Laughs]

Then, I will spoil her rotten every day,

just like I spoil the mother.

I ain't lying.

I'm gonna...

I'm gonna sell the club.

I want to do something, be something different,

something more respectable -

for her, for you, for us.

-That sounds nice.

-Can I ask you a favor?

-Yeah.

-I haven't seen my dad in a while,

and I really need to visit him more.

But when I do, can you come with me?

-Yes. Of course.

-Well, Mr. Markoff, we'll definitely be in touch

regarding your interesting proposition.

Whoa. No. -Get your hands off me.

-He's okay. -Get your hands off me.

-Let him be.

Do you want us to do anything?

-Nyet.

-Gentlemen, if you'll excuse me,

I'd like to...

call this meeting to an adjournment.

Mr. Markoff.

Have a seat, Kendrick.

What brings you around? The Venerable Reverend Parker?

-Bob...

you said you'd fix this.

-You said I'd have my press conference.

-Press conference?

-The one where you're gonna get up in front of your community

in support of my downtown football stadium.

-[Laughs]

That's funny. That's funny.

I got a - I got a district attorney,

I got Tina's whole damn family breathing down my goddamn neck

about a DNA swab, and you talking about

a fucking press conference?

A press conference? -Quid pro quo, friend.

Listen, don't worry about it.

That DNA test is run by the city lab,

and I run the city.

So, you just continue to play ball, huh?

You understand that?

Good.

You want a drink? -Fuck, no.

I don't want a drink. I want you to fix this.

I got to go in for DNA swabbing on Monday.

I'll have my team call a press conference then.

-Perfect.

Oh, and Kendrick.

You try to fuck me again,

by the time you get out of prison,

your little girl, Kinaata, will be stripping for change

at O'Dell's Club.

You don't want that.

You have a blessed day.

??

[Knocking]

??

-Oh, you came to the front door this time?

[Both laugh]

Look at that.

Two visits in two days from my baby brother.

I'm kind of liking you being in trouble.

-Oh, so the pimp's got jokes now?

-[Chuckles]

All right, man, what's going on?

-[Clears throat]

Well, I just came from Coletti's office.

It's no good.

He's got me in the steel grip that he ain't letting go of.

-That's actually a good thing.

-Come again?

-Oh, make Coletti think he's got you.

It's just gonna make him more vulnerable.

Besides, it's way too hot right now.

-No.

I need Tina's death avenged.

Remember Deuteronomy 32:35?

-What are you talking about? -I just said it.

Look, I'm not saying I'm not gonna help you,

but maybe dealing with Tina's death

should be your first priority.

-[Whispering] Who the fuck are you?

-[Laughs] Come on, bruh.

We playing chess, not checkers.

-Amen.

??

??

-I love you.

-Okay.

??

-I can't believe that murderer showed up to my baby's funeral.

-I can't believe he brought his wife.

??

-Kinaata, come here.

Come hug your grandmama.

Come here.

??

Hey, why are you acting brand-new?

Don't let them turn you against your own blood, okay?

Go ahead.

-Hey. Hey. You okay?

-They want me to go stay with them.

-Well, you can. -No.

I want to stay with you and Daddy.

-Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

-You know what? Tina was your sister.

You're more of a mother to that child than she is.

-Are you ready to go?

-Mama, I loved Tina, but we fought all the time.

-Sisters fight all the time. It's natural.

What's up in the baby department?

-[Indistinct].

-Well, if he ain't gonna give you a baby,

we gonna get you a baby.

Come on.

-Upon further review of the charges against Mr. Kennedy,

and counsel's subsequent argument,

I am approving the bond for release.

However, I am setting the bond at $1 million.

-All rise.

??

-My God.

-Don't worry. I'll get it lowered.

-Can you?

-The new ADA, Marcie Wiggins, is a close friend of mine.

We went to law school together at TSU.

And she's tight with this judge.

-Thank you for your help.

-No problem.

-And that's why I've decided to form what I like to call

the "Fifth Ward Redevelopment."

And its sole purpose is to bring forth the benefits

of the new NFL stadium to all the Fifth Ward.

Yes.

Yes?

-Councilman Davis, you've been on record

against the Downtown Stadium Initiative,

citing the possible gentrification of Fifth Ward.

What made you change your mind?

-Well, first, it's - it's not gentrification.

It's redevelopment.

And...Okay.

Truth is, you're right. You're right.

In the past, I've had those concerns.

But I took a look at the plans,

and I took a look at the analytics,

and I got to say, I'm now a new believer that...

that it will benefit the community.

-Councilman Davis. Councilman Davis.

-Yes?

-Does that mean that you'll be bringing the [indistinct] back?

-[Chuckles]

Well, you know, unfortunately, it's not my decision.

But I do miss the baby blue.

-Then, why don't you just name them The Frogs?

You can name them after yourself, Councilman Davis.

-What's this guy's name again?

Reverend Parker. You stalking me?

I mean, weren't we just at a funeral together this morning?

-Why don't you do me a favor -

tell these people the truth.

Tell them why you really changed your mind,

and how corrupt these politics are.

And they got so deep in your skin

that it caused you to murder my niece.

-Oh, whoa, Reverend, that's not true.

Don't print that.

-It's okay. It's okay.

Reverend Park, now, come on.

Hmm?

You still sore that I beat you in the election?

Huh? Really?

Another example of corrupt politics.

-Reverend Benny.

I'd be careful about the accusations I throw out there.

-No one asked you,

or your New Black Panther Party, for assistance.

-Okay.

But you and the councilman are cut from the same cloth.

You're both in bed, sleeping with the Whore of Babylon.

-How dare you, sir.

-How dare you, sir.

??

Brothers and sisters.

??

Our so-called "Negro leaders"

don't care about you or our community.

How long have we been telling and teaching these crackers

and these politicians how to treat us in Fifth Ward?

Huh?

Five years, sisters?

10 years, brothers?

Sister, 50 years?

I say school is out.

We are sick and tired of being sick and tired,

ain't we, brothers and sisters?

[Applause]

Power to the people.

Power to the people. -Power to the people.

-No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No peace.

-God bless you.

-And then, what happened?

-I heard the shootout over the radio.

Then, I discovered that Detective Sones

had been injured.

-There's speculation that you and Detective Sones

staged the shootout to set up your own cartel.

-That makes no sense. Why would we do that?

-To eliminate the Black and Latino competition.

-That's ridiculous.

And do you think Detective Sones would think that was ridiculous?

-I don't know. Why don't we ask him?

-Well, until Detective Sones comes out of his coma,

there is no way that we can hear his version of what happened.

-There is no other version, only a singular truth.

-I think that's enough for now.

-I agree.

Although we're inclined to recommend

that Commander Kennedy is placed on desk duty

until this matter is ultimately resolved,

in lieu of questioning detective Sones by Internal Affairs,

this board recommends that he is allowed to return to his duties.

We will reconvene at a later date.

-? I can't find love

? Can't find tenderness

-...sole purpose is to bring the benefits of the new

NFL stadium to all the Fifth Ward.

Yes. Yes�

-Councilman Davis, you've been on record against

the Downtown Stadium Initiative,

citing the possible gentrification of Fifth Ward.

Now, what made you change your mind?

-Well, for - [TV turns off]

-Kendrick, my man.

Very impressive press conference, my friend.

Well done.

-Yes. Yes. I know.

Look, don't worry about the good reverend.

I've got that under control.

The DNA test?

That's...

That's on lock.

Listen, Kendrick, you just keep doing as you're told,

and everything will be fine.

All right.

-And you just keep doing as you're told, as well.

-All right. Here you go.

-Thank you. Have a good one.

-You, too. -All right.

-"Child Protective Services"?

??

Little T has to stay with his grandmother?

??

[Sighs]

??

-Hey, brother.

It's Robert.

Did your wife tell you? Can you believe it?

I'm gonna be a father.

I can barely believe it myself.

So, listen, I'm gonna need some parenting advice from you,

so you should just get on up out of this coma.

??

A lot of people want answers from you

about what the hell went down that night -

including me.

For now, you just get some rest.

You get better, buddy.

??

-I'm a dreamer.

God was part of the dream - dreaming process,

the shaping process.

But I never understood who I was.

I always considered God to be my mentor.

He was there when I needed him.

When I needed advice, He was there to listen to me,

to - in the decision-making process.

I'd like to believe He guided me in the direction of meeting

the right people in the decision-making process.

As in all things in life, you will make mistakes.

It's the recovery part of that mistake that's really important

in any conversation, when you're talking about being successful.

My success, when I talk about it is, I did not do this alone.

And so, when I look at myself now

versus when I was 10 years old,

I'm still that 10-year-old person

still searching for information,

still trying to find myself,

still - still reaching out to people, gaining information.

'Cause I have a rule.

Every day I wake up, I wake up dumb.

I wake up not -

not saying I'm filled all the information to be successful.

So, that day, my task -

I'm tasked with the job of finding information

that will make me successful.

So, I'm the same 10-year-old person.

I'm the same person that walked in that church,

Sunlight Baptist Church, and said,

"Hey, I want this to be my new family.

I want to understand what I can do for the church,

'cause I know what the church can do for me."

??

??

-Hey.

??

-Thank you, God. Thank you, God.

I have my baby back home.

-Mama, I don't know how you came up with $1,000,000 bond,

but I'm sure glad y'all did.

-Well, Lettie managed to reduce the bond to $100,000,

as long as you have that ankle monitor on until trial.

And Blue did the rest.

-Mama, he didn't have to do all of that.

-A small token for your freedom.

-Yeah, for now.

What happens in eight months, when I got my trial?

-We'll worry about all that later.

But for now, you're back home, and that's all that matters.

And you tell Blue you appreciate what he did.

-Okay. I will.

-Now.

-Hey, man, thanks for getting me out.

Appreciate it.

-Was that so hard?

Good. Now, let's go home.

-Hey. Nephew.

Look, I need you to stay away from the Asian girl.

Okay? Her mother's all sorts of crazy.

I don't want to see [indistinct].

Okay?

Okay?

-Yeah. Okay. All right.

-Thank you.

Just trying to keep you out of trouble, you know?

??

??

-You have a limited time.

My mom will be back in three hours.

It should be more than enough time for you.

??

??

-I don't know how I'm gonna go to LA

for any concert with this bracelet.

Fuck.

-Figure something out.

-You kept me going the whole time I was in there.

If you weren't in my dreams,

I don't know what I would have done.

-I'm so sorry about my mom - and my dad.

What are we gonna do?

We can't keep using Jillian's bedroom forever.

-I don't know.

I just know that,

being without you for these last few weeks taught me...

I want you forever.

[Knocking]

-Well, isn't this a surprise?

-Mom, what do I do?

-Make him suffer.

??

??

??

-? Hello, Sunshine

? It's mighty good to see you doing fine ?

? And although it's been a long, long time ?

? I still find that you're heavy on my mind ?

-? [Indistinct]

? Still lookin' good, baby

? Just like I knew you wou-ou-ould ?

? But there's only one thing wrong ?

? I don't feel

? [Indistinct]

? My sunshine has faded away, baby ?

? And the sky cloudy and rainy, baby ?

? [Indistinct]
