-A group of "Second Amendment white activists"

who decided that they were going to march with their guns

in the streets of Fifth Ward

to send a message about the Second Amendment

to those who live in Fifth Ward.

But we know that our brothers and sisters

historically in the Fifth Ward area

and in other Black communities

have dealt with the White Night Riders.

Coming out of them was the Ku Klux Klan,

where they would stroll through Black communities

with their guns terrorizing Black people.

And when we heard that they were going to do that,

we let them know that we know

your history in the Black community.

We know the message that you want to send

in the Black community in Fifth Ward with those guns.

So if you come with your guns to demonstrate,

we'll meet you with our Goddamn guns also,

and we'll run you out of Fifth Ward.

We got together and we met in the middle of Lockwood

and we met them White boys

and set down at a table and explained to them

why they could not come in the Fifth Ward with their guns.

And then I told the brothers to bring our guns

out of the Hummer

because I wanted them White boys to see

we were not playing with no damn snap pistols,

that we had that real technical equipment

that you see on TV,

that you think brothers cannot afford,

that we had exactly what they wished they could afford.

And if you brought your rusty, raggedy White behind

into Fifth Ward with that racist attitude and racist agenda,

that we were going to meet you with force

by any means necessary and run you up out of here.

Well, they decided not to have their march,

and that march was canceled.

[ Gunshots ]

-Shots fired. Shots fired.

Suspect is armed and dangerous.

I repeat, suspect is armed and dangerous.

-[ Panting ]

??

Mama.

Mama, I'm scared.

They gonna kill me.

Help me.

I didn't do nothing. I just want to come home.

[Crying]

I don't want to die, Mama.

Mama...

[Radio crackles] -Suspect is Black male.

Got a gun. I repeat, got a gun.

??

[Gunshots]

??

-Ugh!

??

??

-Good afternoon.

So after review, this district attorney's office

has decided not to press charges against the Kapors.

-[Booing] -Please, please.

The death of Latasha Washington was unfortunate,

but it was an accident.

-In light of the recent Anthony Barnes shooting by police,

aren't you concerned with the response

from the Fifth Ward community?

-I'm more concerned with doing my job

and showing justice for all.

-Marcie, what if there is retaliation against the Kapors?

-The perpetrators will be prosecuted

to the fullest extent of the law.

Thank you for coming.

-Just not murder of a little girl, right?

-Come on, man. -That's bullshit.

-[Booing]

[Indistinct yelling]

-That's bullshit. -Bullshit.

-Bullshit. -Bullshit.

-Come on, man.

-Not even a slap on the wrist?

You promised me.

You promised me that you was gonna get justice

for Latasha.

Did you lie to me, Pastor?

You can't - You can't let them get away with murdering my baby.

-Shh! Stay right here.

Marcie!

What were you thinking?

-I was thinking of the bigger picture.

-Which is? -Destroying Kendrick Davis.

-What does setting them free have to do with him?

-Right now, he has too much goodwill.

This will help discredit him.

-I want Davis just as bad as you,

but not this way.

-This is the only way.

We have to discredit him.

This is just our first step.

-Our first step?

-It'll work.

-I don't trust any of you.

??

-Are you cheating? -No, I'm not cheating.

-Alright. Alright, alright. Come on.

Walk with me, talk with me. Alright. Trust me.

Alright? I'm not gonna let you hit anything.

Keep 'em closed now. I'm watching you. I see you.

-[Laughing] My eyes are closed.

-Okay. Now open your eyes.

??

-What is this?

Huh?

This is ours?

-Oh, no, this is yours. It's all yours.

And, look, I even got extra room for the baby.

-Blue, this is too much.

-No, baby, nothing is too much for you and the little ones.

I just want to be there for you and the boys.

??

-All we need to do is just get Lil T home.

-I promise you, we gonna get him home, alright?

Go on, look around.

It's all yours.

??

You like it?

-? So many bodies in the room

? Well, all I see you is you

? All I see is you

-Nurse! -? Baby

-Nurse!

-? Please be my bride, I'll be your groom ?

? 'Cause all I need is you

? All I need is you

? Baby

? Please hold me tight and never let me go ?

? 'Cause all I breathe is you

? All I breathe is you

? Baby

-It's okay.

-? Baby, your loving leaves me comatose ?

-It's okay. It's alright, buddy. It's okay.

-? Those things you do

-This man has got a temp.

-? I've been around the world

? I still haven't found another like you ?

-Hey.

-Hey.

-What happened?

-He woke up and walked out of his room.

They found him wandering around.

-Does he know?

-I thought it should come from you.

-You okay? -Yeah.

-Dr. Feeney, call the operator.

Dr. Feeney, call the operator, please.

??

-Six months?

And we're being investigated by the internal affairs?

[Scoffs]

What do they think? I wanted to get shot?

It's part of my big plan?

So what's the good news?

-We've been assigned desk duty until further notice.

Apparently they're questioning our motives

for setting up the truce meeting.

-Motives?

What motive? We just wanted peace.

-That's what I told 'em.

They won't listen. -[Sighs]

-Look, you just rest up.

We'll get this all sorted out later.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Welcome back, brother. -Ow!!

-Sorry.

??

-[Sighs]

-What are you doing here?

-Came to question Sones.

-Probably find a way to blame the coma on him.

-What really happened at the truce?

-I told you everything I remember about that night.

-You were at a distance in your car.

Only Sones was there.

You have no way to say what his role was in the shootout.

-You think he wanted this to happen?

-Maybe he wanted to get rid of some of his competition.

-What are you really asking me?

-Are you sure you can trust him?

??

-? How I feel for you

-My parents have my whole life planned out for me,

and I don't have a say.

I'm supposed to take the classes they choose,

go to the college of their choice,

and become what they want me to be.

-What you want to do?

-I want to be with you.

-What about school?

-I won a full scholarship to UCLA -

tuition, room, board, everything.

That Houston's Finest tour starts in L.A.

After that, you can move back permanently.

-Wait.

You'd give up Harvard for me?

-Harvard is their dream, not mine.

-But still, that's a big decision.

-Don't you want to be with me?

-More than anything,

but there's no way we can be together with that between us.

-I'll say it wasn't rape.

Now I'm 17, I can speak on my behalf in court.

-[Sighs] But that's not a guarantee.

-So you just want to give up?

-No.

I'm just saying that you should think this through.

-I have. That's all I've thought about.

??

-[Sighs]

-Are you ready for your radio interview with the Box?

-I guess.

-I could come with you if you like.

-You better.

You know I need my manager with me.

-? A rocket taking off

-I'm gonna take a little nap. -[Giggles]

-[Sighs] Everybody, listen up.

I'm closing down Bessie's.

I need to start over, clean up my act,

so today will be your last day.

You can pick up your checks and go home.

-Well, why won't you just sell the club?

-It's not about money. It's about image.

I-I know this is sudden and I apologize for that,

but I need a clean slate and. ..this club's got to go.

-So you get a crisis of conscience,

and I'm out of a job?

Let's go, girls.

I hear they looking for dancers at Harlem Nights.

??

-Give me the damn check.

??

-[Sighs]

??

-Hey, yo, so Blue, what's your next move, man?

-Actually, I'm thinking about starting a jazz club.

-Oh, yeah. Okay, cool.

I've been digging on jazz for a minute, man.

You heard of Kyle Turner, right?

-I won't be needing your services

at my new spot, Maurice.

-Say what?

-I just don't want to bring the same old element

into the new place, you know?

I kinda want to start fresh.

-Mm. Start fresh, huh?

Well, um, will Mina be at this new club?

Ah, I thought so. -Come on, man, that's different.

-Really? How? How is that different, Blue?

-We're making a fresh start together.

-Ahh.

Well, good luck with that...

fool-ass nigga.

-It's like that, huh?

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

-No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No peace.

-Alright. Power to the people.

-Power to the people!

-I'd like to introduce you to my brother in the word.

The one that's helping me get justice

for my daughter Latasha.

Amen? -Amen.

-I want you all to help me welcome to the stage

Minister Donnell X.

[Cheers and applause]

-Thank you, Sister.

Salaam alaikum, my brothers and sisters.

[Indistinct greetings]

You know, they think they can kill our children

and get away with it.

First it was Latasha Washington, bless her soul.

They said that was an unfortunate incident.

But now the police have shot and killed an innocent

14-year-old boy not 10 feet away from you.

Now, they said he fired a weapon at the officer.

But where's the gun? Huh?

Brothers and sisters, where is the gun?

In fact, the only thing they found here on the crime scene

was the boy's cellphone.

Now, brothers and sisters, who's gonna hold them accountable?

Our so-called Negro leaders?

You know, like sellout Councilman Davis?

Or the good reverend Benny Parker?

No.

No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No peace.

-No justice. -No -

??

-Grandma.

-They're bringing those problems with us.

They're bringing drugs, they're bringing -

-Lying-ass motherfucker.

Granny?

What I tell you about having the TV so loud?

Grandma?

[Sighs]

[Knock on door] Grandma?

Where you at?

Granny?

Grandma? No, no, no, no, no.

Grandma! Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Grandma!

Ugh. I got you, I got you, I got you.

??

[Telephone rings]

??

-Detective Khan.

-Hey, you get that report? -Yeah.

And I sent a copy to Sones' new replacement, like you asked.

-So what does it say?

-It's just like you thought.

Nearly all the recovered guns from that truce meeting

are Russian, military-grade.

-Both sides? -Yes, sir.

I was in Desert Storm, Delta Force.

I recognize the tech.

-Good work. Khan, is it?

-Yes. Sir.

Saki Mussam Khan.

-From the Miami Police Department, right?

-Yes, sir.

-Good job on this.

-Thank you, sir.

-? Don't miss out on bless, baby ?

? Don't need the stress, baby

? You want it, you got it, baby ?

-How long do we have to come in here?

-Blue got us a new house.

We're gonna get Lil T home.

-How? -I don't know, but we will.

-Mommy!

-Baby.

So good to see you.

-I've got a new story for you.

-You do? -With pictures this time.

-Oh, my goodness.

My baby is gonna be the best writer in the world.

-Yeah. Thursday works for me.

Alright. Hold on a sec.

Yeah. I got to take this.

Alright.

Davis.

-Hey, Kendrick. What's up?

-I hear your man's out of his coma.

-Sones? Yeah.

Yeah, that's, uh, sort of the reason

why I'm calling.

-How's that?

-Well, I found out that most of the guns

that were used in the shootout that put Sones in the hospital

were manufactured in Russia.

I think someone is purposely flooding the streets

of Fifth Ward with guns. -Hmm.

Yeah, that sounds, uh, sounds serious, but, I mean,

unfortunately, I can't help you with that right now.

-Can't or won't?

Look, I need funds so that I can set up a special task force

to attack this problem.

Now, is it about the money or do you care?

-Wait a sec. Stop. Okay. Do I even care?

Really? Did I not help you shut down Miracle Lady's

stupid-ass idea from bringing New York's

stop and frisk to the Fifth?

Hmm? This isn't about money.

-No. It's about children dying.

Whoever's bringing in these guns is selling to both sides.

-Yes, I heard you. And again, I'm sorry to hear that,

but there's nothing I can do.

-You say you want to help clean up Fifth Ward.

Help me.

Or next time, it could be your daughter

that's hit with cross fire.

-[Sighs]

??

Alright, tell you what, I'm gonna hook you up with a friend.

Allison Latham. Yeah.

She'll help use PR to attack the problem.

-How is PR gonna help me clean up the streets of Fifth Ward?

I need money.

-Because, my brother,

it's always good to shine a light into the darkness.

Yeah, with a spotlight on the problem,

you'll have no challenges getting funds

for your task force.

-Alright. It's better than nothing.

-You're damn right it is, Kennedy.

Goodbye. -Thanks, man.

??

Oh, no, no. You see the badge?

-You have a lot of new toys

since my last visit two weeks ago.

-I had to buy new ones.

All these old ones were too raggedy.

And his clothes.

-Oh, I would have chipped in.

-Oh, I got it, like always.

-Well, he has more clothes at home.

-Mama. Mina buys the boy lots of clothes.

-Maybe she has to split her money among all of them,

since she has so many.

-Two, not including my son.

-Hmm. But one on the way.

And who's that one's daddy?

-What's your favorite toy, baby?

-Mama, I want to come home.

-I know, and we can't wait until you come back home.

-Time's up. -Already?

-CPS says you only get two hours.

And it's time for me to go to my Bible study class.

-[Sighs]

Okay, T, we have to go now,

but we're gonna see you really soon, okay?

-Yeah. Come on, T.

Come on, T.

Come on. Let's go.

-Um...

I just want to let you know that I still care about you.

And that guy wasn't me. I was set up.

Look, I got to, um, go out of town

for a couple of months of work, so...

But I'm hoping when I get back...

-I should go. Tony.

Thank you for taking up for me.

Come on, James. Let's go.

-Alright, man.

-? They're talking about

??

??

??

-You new here? -[Clears throat]

How's it going? Uh, Kendrick.

[Camera shutter clicks]

Kendrick Davis.

I'm a guest of the mayor's.

-[Chuckles] Yeah, I figured.

-Yep.

-You know they can't let too many of us

join at the same time.

[Camera shutter clicks]

-Wait. So there's a nigger quota here at the country club?

-Mm. [Laughs] Well, not exactly.

It's more like, um, melanin allotment.

[Chuckling]

Ted Mercer. -What's up, Ted?

Well, you know, Ted, I hear that FEMA's

already got concentration camps set up.

Yeah, just waiting for people to get out of line.

-Yeah? -Mm-hmm.

[Speaks indistinctly]

Did you know? They got a huge data center.

Listens to everything you do on the Internet and on the phone.

-And I thought that was NSA's job.

-Oh, no, no.

Everybody's a spy.

Your phone's listening to everything we do right now.

-That's true. It is true.

Yeah, I'm new here.

I, uh, been working on a couple of special projects

with an organization that specializes in construction.

-Is that right? -Yeah.

-Okay. Okay.

-I also know you're not too fond

of the stadium going up in Fifth Ward.

-Hmm.

Well, it's not the stadium I have a problem with.

It's what it's gonna do to the constituents.

-It will destroy Fifth Ward, that it will do.

It will never be the same.

Hey, we got to watch these White devils.

-[Laughing]

White de- [Clears throat]

-Kendrick, this is my lovely wife, Daphne,

and my daughter, Imani.

-Hello. Baby, Imani is hungry.

I want to take her to the market and get something to eat.

-You know they drain me more than one way, huh?

[Camera shutter clicks]

-Thank you. It's nice meeting you.

-You as well. Likewise.

-They not all bad. Huh?

-Uh... -Huh?

[Laughing]

[Sighs]

-Why you crying?

-I'm not.

-Tell me.

-I thought it was the mother's job

to worry about the child.

-Are you worried about Lil T?

-I'm worried about all of you guys.

-Especially Ray Ray.

-Especially him.

I just want to have all three of my boys under one roof

before this baby comes.

-I love you.

-Love you too.

??

I just feel like I'm being punished

for not using my voice to sing.

-You can sing at church.

??

[Engine starts]

??

-Hey. -Hey.

-About ready to go? -I am. I am. Ready?

-Mm-hmm.

-I am so glad you two could make it.

-Oh, anything for Ciera?

-Oh, can you point Kenyata to Ciera's birthday party

in two weeks?

We would love to have you there.

-Then we will be there.

-We'll be there.

I'm kidding. We'll be there.

-Perfect. Bye, sweetheart.

-Mwah. -Mwah.

-I'll find the truth.

This isn't over.

-Yeah. Good to see you, too.

??

-Came to see how you were getting on.

-Oh, yeah. My good friend Lucifer there

is very concerned with my recovery.

-Yeah, about that.

I want to run something past you.

I'm putting together a special task force

to stop the flow of illegal guns in the Fifth.

-Task force?

Aren't we still under investigation for the truce?

-I believe that both sides got their guns

from the same Russian supply.

-I got Internal Affairs breathing down my throat.

-Don't you want to stop the violence?

-I got shot trying to stop the violence.

What more you want from me?

-I need your help. You're the only one that knows

exactly what happened at that truce

and can stop it from happening again.

-Oh, I'm the only one.

You know, you're starting to sound like Jenkins.

-If you're not the mole, then why won't you help?

-Because I've been in a fucking hospital bed

for the last six months!

-I need your help.

-Yeah? Well, as you can see,

helping hurts.

97.9, The Box in the studio with my man Ray Ray.

Man, it's happy to be here with you, man.

The street's been talking about you.

You've won this big contest, Rap for a Stack.

G.I., and, of course, Shazam, your host.

[Stammers] Tell me what happened.

-The Rap for a Stack competition, man.

It's an honor, man. Like, it's crazy

because I didn't even want to do it at first.

-What? -She pushed me to do it.

-Yeah, I actually pushed him to do it.

He didn't want to do it. So I kept telling him to do it.

-What? All this time, she had to push you?

-It's one of them things, man, where, like,

I got a lot of stuff in the vault.

I've got a lot of lyrics, a lot of melodies.

I'm always working on stuff,

but sometimes you just don't know when it's right

and when it's perfect.

Sometimes you need that extra push.

-Let me shift gears because I see your manager over here,

Miss Jazmine Tran.

First of all, how did you guys hook up?

And how do you know that this guy had this kind of talent?

-Well, the first time we met was in school,

and I was the new girl there.

And when I met him,

he just pushed me to, like, try new things,

be the better version of myself.

And I just, like, knew he had potential to be something.

-Yeah, we, we met

in our music-production class at Wheatley,

and I played a couple of beats for her

and sang a little bit, showed her some of my music.

And pretty much, the rest is history.

-[Speaks indistinctly] Ray Ray in the building.

Let's jump into it right now. 97.9, The Box.

??

-Hey.

??

??

-Any updates?

-She's the same as before.

-How are you doing, baby?

-[Sighs]

I'm good.

I just wish she'd wake up.

-She is. You just have to give it time.

-Everybody always leaves me.

-[Sighs] Baby, stop saying that.

I won't.

I will never, ever leave you. Okay?

Kiss.

??

Okay?

-[Sighs]

You know, for so long, we was all we had.

Just us after Mama died.

Grandma always took care of me,

always made sure I had everything I needed.

Now I'm the one taking care of her.

She can't get around like she used to.

And most of this isn't covered by insurance.

That's why I work so hard.

It's all for her.

I don't know what I would do without my Granny.

-Hey. Hey. She's gonna be just fine.

-She can't miss my graduation.

-She won't.

Look, babe.

I bet she's even gonna be at your college graduation.

-Nah. I'm gonna focus on my music.

-What?

[Scoffs]

So you're just gonna keep adding songs to your SoundCloud?

And then what?

-You're leaving me for school.

-That don't mean I don't care about you, Bam.

-Look, wherever you go,

just make sure you take Jazmine with you.

-She's going to Harvard.

-Good.

The farther she is away from my nigga, the better.

-You saying it like she did something wrong.

-He caught a case chasing after her.

She brought him nothing but grief.

??

-My Hahn, dinner's ready.

-It's time to eat. Your food's getting cold.

What are you listening to?

-Jazmine's on the radio.

-She's supposed to be studying.

-Give me this.

-Can I say something? Y'all look like

there's a little more chemistry going on

than just rap-manager relationship.

I mean, y'all been gazing into each other's eyes.

I don't want to put no bad business out there.

I don't want to be messing anything like that.

That's not that kind of show, but am I feeling -

Am I seeing this vibe?

Is something more going on here?

-It started with the music, you know, and then, like I said,

we hit it off immediately and over time,

I started to recognize that... -Oh, wow.

-...I found who I want to be with.

-Wow. I don't want to get into messy radio, but, you know,

every time y'all talk, you gaze in each other's eye.

I'm like, "There's something going on here."

??

-911. What's your emergency?

-I need the police. My daughter's in danger.

Yes. I'll hold.

??

Now you're helping your sister?

Helping her keep secrets from me?

What's wrong with you?

-I started it with my boy Bam.

It was one of those things that started

in sort of a freestyle cypher, you know what I mean?

And then we jumped in a lab and we laid it down, man.

It was one of those things where immediately,

we knew that it was hot, man.

We was like, "Man, this is - This is something."

-You need to tell me everything right now.

-I appreciate it.

-Ricky. -Whoa, whoa.

-Get on the ground.

Get on the ground now!

-Alright, man. Alright. Okay. Okay, okay.

??

-Robert Kennedy.

What do you want?

-Good to see you, too.

Guns, specifically Russian military-grade.

-Well, I'm out of the game.

-Yeah, I see that.

Nice club.

Need a name.

-[Scoffs] Come on, man.

-If you're out the game, give me a name.

-Fine.

The only person I know is this cat named Yuri.

That's the only name I got.

-It's a start.

Appreciate you.

Nice fucking club, though, really.

-Yeah. Appreciate it. Thanks.

-Boss in, Emma?

-Do you have an appointment?

I'll get you one.

??

You have a visitor.

??

-Salaam alaikum, my brothers and sisters.

-What brings you in?

-I've been doing my own investigating

of what happened on the night of the truce.

-You're lucky you're not fired.

Wait.

Isn't Sones' replacement handling the investigation?

-I need to get back into the fight.

We need to stop the flow of guns in the Fifth Ward.

I think Sones and I are the ones that should head up

a special task force to do it.

-You're both still being investigated

by Internal Affairs.

-This is more important.

-Police have shot and killed...

-Donnell X.

??

-Even if I wanted to help, I don't have the money.

But you're gonna do it no matter what, huh?

[Laughs]

I don't believe what I'm about to say.

I'm gonna authorize your task force.

But you need to keep it under wraps.

You report to me.

-Thank you, Leroy.

You're not gonna regret this.

[Cartoon playing on television]

-[Laughs]

-What are you watching?

-You know, I had a couple of visitors today.

-Really? During physical therapy?

-Yeah.

The, uh, asshole from Internal Affairs.

And then Kennedy.

He, uh, wanted to know if I wanted to join

this new special task force he's assembling...

-What?

-...to stop the illegal flow of guns in the Fifth Ward.

-You literally just got out of a coma.

You told him no, right?

-Mm-hmm.

He did think I'd be a pretty good fit.

-[Speaking Spanish]

You're still in the hospital because of your last crusade.

Why would you even consider it? You have a daughter.

-Hey. She's the reason I do what I do.

What? I don't want to upset you.

-Well, then don't join this new task force.

-Alright. I won't help Kennedy

stop the illegal flow of guns in the Fifth Ward.

-D-D-Don't do that.

I won't feel guilty for trying to keep you alive.

You were in a coma for six months, for God's sake.

Me and Nina, we just got you back.

-Alright. Alright.

-I love Sam's Designs.

What do you think if we added an accent wall?

That'd be pretty cool.

Babe?

You okay?

-[Sighs]

Chief finally approved the task force,

and Greg doesn't want to join.

-Why would you even ask?

-We knew the risks and he was prepared

to take them to save Fifth Ward.

-See, that's cop talk, and you know it.

-I don't know what I believe anymore.

-Believe he has a wife and a daughter

that's worried about him getting shot again.

And there's this Internal Affairs investigation

that says he's behind one of the most bloodiest shootouts ever.

Now, I -

We have to deal with that.

-You're right.

I didn't stop to think about what you were going through.

-What we're going through.

-What we're going through.

-You know I love you, right?

-Mom, I'm hungry. -We'll stop on the way home.

Jazmine, we're leaving.

[Indistinct conversation]

??

-I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

-Now!

??

-So how bad is it?

-Pretty bad.

-Code blue, room 621.

Code blue, room 621.

-How you feeling today?

-Hey. Well, it beats the alternative.

-Listen, I'm sorry about being insistent yesterday.

-I get it.

I probably would have been pushing just as hard.

-I just think this thing is bigger than a truce

between two gangs.

I'm just starting to scratch the surface.

But I think that the Russian - -Okay, let me stop you.

I already told Lettie I would not join

your new special task force.

-Okay. -I-I tried. I really did.

But it's kind of hard to argue against her from a hospital bed.

She is a lawyer, you know?

But you know what I was thinking?

You ought to go talk to Joe Lin down in Cybercrimes.

I trust him. And he can probably

help you find the information you're looking for.

-Okay, I can do that.

You do something for me. -What's that?

-I've been meaning to talk to a kid that's in this hospital.

Maybe you can drop by and see him.

-I can do that. -His name's Anthony Barnes.

-I can do that.

-Thanks, man. -No problem, brother.

-Get better.

[Indistinct conversations]

[Telephone ringing]

-Joe Lin.

-Yeah, this is Commander Robert Kennedy.

-Hey, Kennedy. Yeah. Sones told me a lot about you, man.

What's going on? -Good.

And he said if anyone can give me the information I need,

it's you. -Yeah. What you got?

-Just a name. Yuri.

-Well, that's not much to go by,

but I had a lot less, so let me put you on speaker.

Hold on real quick. Alright?

??

Uh, Yuri Balinkov.

-So now we have a last name.

-Yeah. And a few more details, but nothing else.

Let's keep looking, alright?

-Okay. I appreciate it.

[Indistinct conversations]

-Hi. I'm looking for a patient named Anthony Barnes.

-[Sighs]

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

Yeah, Lavell.

I need you to look into something for me.

Yeah, right away.

-Anthony Barnes. [Sighs]

-Shot by the police two weeks ago in my own Fifth Ward.

You haven't heard about this case?

-I've been kinda out of commission

for the last six months.

-It's a big controversy,

especially since the Kapors aren't getting prosecuted

for killing that girl.

-Really?

Now, that case, I know.

-You have been out of commission.

-Yeah, I guess I'm playing catch-up.

Tell me something.

Don't I know you from the police academy?

-Yes. I thought you looked familiar.

You used to teach

the gang graffiti. and tattoos course.

-Ah, yeah, tats and tags.

That's a great course.

So how you doing? You like it down here?

-I did at first.

But now I feel like I should be doing something else,

something to make a difference.

-Well, your work makes a difference.

-Yeah, but he's in here,

and I see a stream of kids coming to this morgue daily.

Who's fighting for him?

And them?

-That is the question. [Sighs]

??

-? It was a guilty passion

??

? How did something so wrong, so wrong, feel so good? ?

-I just don't think you're going about it the right way, honey.

-I am doing what is best for our daughter.

-How can you be so damn sure?

-Because I'm doing what I feel is right!

-Maybe it isn't a bad thing to let the kids be together.

-He will ruin her life. Okay?

They are nothing but trouble,

and all he's gonna do is drag Jazmine down to the ground.

-Wait, a Black G.I. helped my family escape

from our village in Vietnam.

-The [indistinct] have a saying.

It takes a village to raise a child.

Now, my question to you is,

are you in our village or their village?

-[Speaks Vietnamese]

-Okay.

I will talk to Jazmine.

But what happens if she lies to us again?

-Then we'll do it your way.

-"And then they lived happily ever...

after."

??

I will always love and protect you.

??

-I love you, Daddy.

??

-I love you, too, baby.

[Cell doors clang]

??

-You Ray Ray?

-Who wants to know?

-I'm Russell Clark... friend of a friend.

-Blue?

-Maybe.

You good?

You need something?

??

-I mean...a pad, maybe some pencils or something.

-Oh, you want to write a letter home.

-Actually, I write rhymes.

-Hmm.

Alright, I got you.

-I do miss home, though.

My mom, little brother...

my girl.

Hey. Let me ask you something.

-H-How do you feel at peace being locked up in this...

in a zoo?

-First you got to find that one person,

a reason that makes you want to get out of here.

And once you find that,

you keep that focus in your heart.

Second...

you just got to know that God is with you.

-My girl, she'd be saying the same thing.

-[Chuckles]

She seems like she's a good one.

-She is.

She wants us to move out to L.A. together.

Seems like a big step.

-So what do you want to do?

-I want to be with her.

??

-There you go.

That's your reason.

Keep that focus in your heart.

-Okay.

[Indistinct conversation]

??

??

-Hey, look, that ese over there,

he was at the truce shootout.

-[Speaking Spanish]

What you wanna do?

-We gonna kill that [speaks Spanish]

-[Speaks Spanish]

??

[Piano music playing]

[Laughter]

??

??

-You're late...again.

-I'm sorry.

-Director Brusseau wants an update.

-Well. Well, I don't have one.

-Well, you should.

He's talking about bringing in another agent, deep cover.

-Who?

-I don't know. DEA, possibly.

He wouldn't tell me.

But it probably has a lot to do

with your lack of commitment lately.

You're supposed to work them,

not the other way around.

-Geez! I never wanted -

I never wanted this assignment.

You forced me to take it.

I'll quit if you want me to quit.

I'm doing the best -

I'm doing the best that I can.

-Look, listen.

Listen, babe.

I love you. You know that.

You know that, right?

But I need you to stop fucking around and do your job.

[Cheers and applause]

[Knock on door]

-Hey.

Thanks for stopping by.

-No problem. I was in the area.

Had the baby's ultrasound today.

-Mm-hmm.

Listen, can you give me any options

with the Ray Kennedy case?

-I already had his bail reduced,

but then he went to see her again.

-He's just a kid in love, Marcie.

We all do stupid things when we're in love.

-If you can get that girl's tiger parents to agree,

I may be able to figure something out to get him

released before his high school graduation ceremony.

-Thanks, girl. I'll call their lawyer.

-I hear Greg is out of his coma.

-He's doing physical therapy now,

and we hope he'll be home soon.

You look beautiful.

-Thanks. [Sighs]

I feel so behind. I've been so busy with work,

I haven't had time to do anything.

-Speaking of work, I saw your press conference

about the Latasha Washington shooting.

??

-It was the right thing to do.

-The right thing to do for who?

Certainly not for Latasha Washington,

nor her poor mother.

My God, I can't imagine.

That was about Kendrick Davis, wasn't it?

Oh, my God, Marcie.

I told you he was never gonna leave his wife.

-Well, I guess I'm just as hard-headed as you.

??

-Kendrick's the father, isn't he?

??

??

-Fifth Ward was removed from Second Ward.

All the wards initially were divided at the corner

of Main and Congress downtown.

So if anything, I would encourage you

to do growing up in Fifth Ward.

Now, number one is to treasure those memories

and want to help save the memories,

encourage other people to come and move to the neighborhood

because young people have influence on other young people.

Tell your folks to buy the property.

This is the time to buy in Fifth Ward.

Now it is extremely valuable

and the fact that it is so close to downtown.

My favorite memory of Fifth Ward is our cohesive community,

our belief that we were all a part of an extended family.

Our various levels of government have not realized

that the Fifth Ward really deserves the support

and it deserves a focus.

I love that journey of Fifth Ward.

I truly believe and this is kind of the definition of faith,

that those bad and tough things that happened to you

meshed with the good things, make you stronger.

They make you a fighter, they make you a believer.

And so you have that faith that all things work together

for good for those who love the Lord.

That rat really freaked her out.

-Yeah.

-Before all of this started...

You, uh...[clears throat]

Would you be open to something like that?

-Yes.

I love that little girl.

??

-That sounds like a great idea.

-It does.

Good night.

-A 9-year-old metro girl has a new lease on life

thanks to surgery at the hospital.

-Knock, knock. -Hey. Hey.

-How you feeling? -Good.

Were you ever able to connect with Joe Lin?

-Yes, thanks. I got a name.
