In a team 33 in Marshall Court, shots fired, officer down. I need an

now! I think I know where the gun is.

No serial, untraceable.

Perfect thing to use if you want to kill a cop.

Hey! What are you doing? You're a liar. You said you wouldn't tell, I didn't do

anything. His fingerprints were all over the gun.

And now, maybe Sergeant Beauchamp can get some justice?

This kid didn't do it. Good.

Prove it. That was like old times.

You are not working with Len. I can work with Len. Have you forgotten how much

he messed you up? Sam was right to call me.

Friends respect boundaries.

I'm going to go home.

Because at least I've got a family to go home to. No wonder you need a vision

board to connect with people.

Their drug runner's mother is Deputy Mayor Marley Briggs. Your daughter is

smuggling drugs for the Pandia Kinsey. She stays in our custody. She is not a

criminal. You have to let her go.

They will kill me. Who will? The son of Jupiter, the Pandia Kinsey.

All of them. The coyotes.

I've got something in the works.

What?

You got another man I should know about?

A dozen.

It's three o 'clock.

And you didn't tell anyone that you were moving him?

Nobody. I don't know what happened. Adam must have tipped someone off.

Sorry. Oh, my bad. Sorry.

I just want to say... Please.

I just wanted to say that I think it's really important that we talk about our

work... This is not the time to discuss our personal stuff, okay? I'm really

glad to hear you say that.

I agree.

You agree?

I do.

I need to focus.

I can't let Michael be the damage to this case, especially now that Adam

got killed.

I mean, clearly, this is the coyotes that Adam was talking about. And if they

were behind his shooting, then they probably could be behind Gabrielle's

shooting. And if we can prove that, then we can prove that Richie Clark is

innocent.

Hmm.

So we are on the same page.

Not you.

No, no. Go ahead.

I wouldn't dream of it.

As we all now know, Adam Gentle was murdered last night in our custody.

Survived by one very hairless dog.

An embezzler's best friend.

We know Adam Gentle laundered money for a number of different criminal

enterprises. And we're narrowing in on the mob.

The last call Adam made before his arrest?

Niccolo Carbone. Excuse me, sir. We have reason to believe it isn't just the

mafia. Uh, not following.

Before he was killed, sir, Adam implied that there was a new alliance. Yeah, so

the mafia, bikers, and Pendia Kinsei out of Mexico, and who knows who else. He

called them the coyotes, sir. This was obviously a mafia execution.

No, it was a real thing. They have their own hand signal. Look at this. That's a

coyote. It's got the ears, and that could be the jaws of it.

If we could just look into this new syndicate. It sounds more like a

theory, unless I missed something. Do you have anything concrete?

Not like concrete, but more like mushy granite.

Okay, let's leave this a homicide. They'll be taking over Adam's case from

And as your new unit commander, I'll remind you to stay out of their way and

offer your full cooperation.

Which is it?

Stay out of their way or fully cooperate?

Whichever they need.

This is the day your life will surely change.

Well, that didn't work.

Shanks would not have dismissed our theory about Adam's ambush.

Mm -mm.

Can you believe that guy?

But her seat is still warm.

Do you have anything concrete?

Michaels was right.

Excuse me?

Listen, we need something concrete. Prove that the Coyotes are real. Figure

who the other players are. Adam can't be the only weak link. But figuring out

this Coyote alliance can take weeks, months.

There's got to be something else in Richie's fire. Duff, we have read that

like a hundred times. There is nothing in there. There's nothing.

Look, all you have is the word Coyote.

There's nothing there either. Really? Because words are things. You want to

who said that?

Maya Angelou. And the Coyote is the closest thing we have to a suspect in

Gabrielle's shooting.

Even if it takes us a little bit longer to get there, that thing is the best

shot we have at Clarion Ritchie. Well, that thing might as well be a half

shot.

Well, I guess you better do your thing.

And you'll do yours.

Kelly. Let me help you with that.

No, I got it.

Wait a minute.

Really?

Now I'm starting to forget why I ever liked you.

Hey, hey, hey. I'm trying to respect your space.

Don't know how you're feeling after last night.

Oh, it looks like it's a little too late for you to be worried about being in my

face. No, it's fine by me. I'll be right over once I'm done debriefing the

homicide. Oh, no, wait, Ashley.

You're right.

Maybe it's a good idea that we keep our distance.

Last thing I need was Zowski seeing us together.

Ah, that explains the stress phase.

I do not have stress. But if I did, it's not about with Zowski.

Look, I've been over Richie Clark's files a dozen times, and I've got

Well, it feels like you got nothing.

Start at the beginning.

Something my sponsor used to say when I started getting clean.

Pretty sure that from a meme. Mr. Clark has not been able to provide a solid

alibi.

I knew I liked you for a reason.

Oh, my gosh. Are you all right? Yeah, I'm just great. I'm really good. It's

that oatmeal raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip cookies are the

that I have trust issues. Do I have anything on my... Am I good?

No, you're good. Okay, great. Are you ready to hear my crazy coyote theory?

yeah, I am indeed. Okay, good, because I have been doing some digging since the

debrief this morning, and bam!

Okay, wow. I don't mean bam like a gun, because that's too soon. I'm just going

to put that away. I'm so sorry, Mr. Gentle. Apologies.

Yeah, sure. Hey, where's Kelly? Isn't she working this with you?

She's working on a different lead.

Okay. Okay.

So, what are we looking at here? Um, okay.

Well, you're looking at a mosaic of miscellaneous malefactors. Say that five

times fast. Sure. No,

stop. Okay.

We've got airplane Antonio, pink cocaine. Mark Tremblay, the sons of

also pink cocaine. Mark Tremblay, a new wave mafioso, Nicholas Carboni, shared

Adam as accountant, so I am betting that Niccolo is also dealing what? Pink

cocaine. Yes.

Uh, okay, maybe.

It doesn't make them an alliance. They could all have been buying separately

from Mexico.

Yeah, but remember what Adam said? He said there are coyotes members

Okay, I want you to check this out. Look at this. This is text messages that he

sent to Mark. Note the emoji on the bottom. And this is text messages that

sent to Niccolo. Look at that. Look at that. What's on the bottom? Let me hear

you say it. Oh, it's the same emoji.

Yes. Okay, so this emoji is this alliance's version of an email

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Yes!

Yes! You're smelling what I'm cooking. Look, it is the same emoji as the hand

gesture. Do they touch it?

Ow. Sorry. You okay? Yeah, they shouldn't bite.

Okay, so if this is an alliance and if this is their signature, Sam,

this could identify every player in their network.

Hey, Richie.

I brought you something.

Oh.

Remember when we used to play horse?

We'd bet a bag of these every time, and somehow you always ended up going home

with them, even when you lost.

How you holding up, huh?

Any problems on the range?

Question.

Have you ever seen either one of these guys before?

How about the Coyotes? Ever heard of them? It's some new gang alliance.

Is it my turn?

Yeah. Are you dumb?

Well, it's debatable.

Why?

You're the reason I'm in here.

And now you're trying to get me to snitch on some randoms I've never seen

to help you. Bridget, I'm trying to help you.

Okay? Look, you know what?

Forget about those guys.

So where were you the night of the shooting?

Your file says you don't have an alibi, but you had to be somewhere.

You know, when you first walked into the community center, you talked a big game

about building bridges between Marshall Court and the cops.

Me, Dane, everybody, we just laughed.

We thought you were crazy.

Then you started coaching the ball team.

I don't know.

For some reason, for a second, I thought I could trust you.

You can trust me.

And, Richie, you have to.

Because if you don't talk to me, you're going to spend the next ten years in a

jail cell for a crime that we both know you didn't commit.

So now I'm just supposed to trust you.

Because you said I can.

I did.

Then it's over. Wait, wait, wait. Go even, please.

Go. Richie, I'm going to get you out of here, okay?

Buddy!

Okay, Bingo Ramirez, known associate of the Uptown Killers, used the same emoji

to end off a text thread with Adam on May 5th.

It's like I'm in the lead. No, you're not, you're not. Stop. Wait, I found

something in Adam's file. Okay, can you look up Will French, please?

Why do I know that name?

Oh, la, la.

Look at that. Will French.

I wonder what else he will do. Do you hear what I did with the... Very cute.

That is right. He is that park bench real estate agent. He didn't just sell

properties. He flips them.

And it looks like he is having an open house today for Mimico.

So why is this guy using the coyote emoji?

I don't know.

Home purchases, renovation costs.

Maybe he's a surrogate. Maybe Squeaky Clean Will is buying and selling

properties for the coyotes to clean their dirty, dirty money. What won't

do? Again, I did the, did you see that?

Why don't we look into him and see if we can find something on him, check out

his properties, see if he's involved.

Okay, what are we thinking here, like an intel gathering up, a bump?

Oh, are we talking about, you see, maybe we should wait for Duff, you know, the

Nicholson? No, we should go with... Star bro stool.

He's got this.

Besides, Bingo put me in the lead, all right? I found the most coyote fillers.

don't think that you did. Did you look at my list? I don't remember. My list

huge. Actually, I did.

Wow. He's in the lead a lot.

And Bingo was his name -o.

Hey. Hey.

Where is everybody?

I think Barb took the kids out for ice cream.

Okay.

So do you want to go out and eat or are you just going to lie around moping

about purse boy all day?

I'm not moping. I'm broke as a joke. Plus, Barbara said she was going to make

her secret pasta sauce later tonight. No. The secret is barbecue sauce. You'd

rather starve. Trust me.

Okay. But luckily, you don't have to.

Money. How did you get that?

Probably the same way you got your savings to pay for your mom's lawyer.

Okay. I know hustlers.

Dude, I am one. You are not. You are smart. You are an honor student.

Yeah, well, Honor World doesn't pay the bills.

I'm on my own in two months.

Hey, it's fine. It's just until I save enough for rent and school.

All right. Well, what's the hustle?

Pretty easy, actually. This guy I know, Tobin, he gets me to move stuff, like

pick up and deliver stuff. Deliver what?

I don't know what's inside.

Hey, Tobin said not to open that. Well, I think personally that Tobin should try

using reverse psychology.

Jackie, Jackie, don't!

Huh.

I picked it up and I brought it straight here.

Where's whatever's supposed to be inside?

Oh, man, I think Tobin got played.

What are you going to do now, hustler?

Drop off tomorrow.

It's fine.

Tobin knows I would never rip him off.

I'm going to handle it.

I'm going to handle it.

Listen, I'm here because I want to help Richie, and I know you can help her.

I know you can help her. Trust me.

Dame, Dame.

Listen, Richie is not doing well.

If you saw something the night of that shooting, you can tell me.

Please.

Please. You're dumb.

Apparently, yes.

I'm still asking. You ever heard of a gang called the Coyotes?

Why are you riding me?

Think I want to end up like Richie?

Hey, Crystal, thanks for meeting me. What's this about? I need your help

with Richie.

He won't talk to me.

Come on.

Friends. At least we used to be. Look, we both want the same thing here.

Don't. Don't try to make us the same.

I work with these kids every day.

I do anything for any one of these kids. Oh, yeah?

Because if you were really looking out for these kids, you wouldn't be hanging

out with Keegan if you knew what he did. I do know.

He told me.

I said you came back around and you'd only be a matter of time before I found

out.

Okay.

Keegan's out of the picture.

And yeah, he made a terrible mistake.

But at least he never stopped showing up.

You know, after Keegan and I fell out, I started avoiding everything that we did

together.

Poker night, food truck, even our work here.

And that was wrong, Crystal. I know that.

You know, I miss this place.

Richie, Dane, the others, I mean, they used to practically live in there.

Yeah.

The city shut it down about a month after you left.

The kids were so crushed when we had to cancel the basketball program.

It's too bad.

It was a good team.

Mad skills, mad skills, we got mad skills.

You stay undefeated because we do our drill. If you trying to play us, you

better have a will. Mad skills, mad skills, we got mad skills.

Look, I made a few calls about this place.

There's somebody I want you to meet.

Coming in loud and clear. Okay, remember, just be yourself.

Lean into what's real. Three years of improv at Tuckin City.

I got that.

Right on the target.

Hello.

Okay, Nathan, show me what you got. Move in.

You must be Will French.

I've seen your face on a few bus stops lately.

I know.

It's horrifying.

I hate myself, but business is business.

Hey, everybody's got to have a gimmick, right?

Absolutely. You know what mine is?

Total discretion.

That's a great suit.

Plastic surgeon.

Comes with the territory.

I could have given you a nose job yesterday.

Never let on.

That is good to know.

But what about genioplasty?

Not saying I'm thinking about it, except maybe I'm thinking about it.

Yes, and... Okay, that's the signal. Our boy needs backup. Hang

in there, Dr.

Griffin.

Pretty sure I don't need my knees done.

Okay, but my approach is holistic.

Chin implant.

Chin, chin, chin implant.

Facial harmony. What the hell is facial harmony?

Listen, I'd love to take your money, but I have to say your chin is pretty

solid.

If you came here looking for a deal,

you just might find one. Is that a birthmark?

What's your name?

Charlie Griffin.

Charlie Griffin.

I just might call you Doc.

Suits me fine.

Let me show you the house.

Dr. Griffin.

My boy right there.

Thank you so much, Miss Briggs, for coming.

Detective Duff.

Nice to put a face to the voice and a rather persuasive voice at that.

I would like you to meet Crystal Smith.

former director of programming and community services here at the center.

nice to meet you, Ms. Smith.

I'm glad you made the time, Deputy Mayor.

Well, Detective Duff here was very convincing.

So, this is the place that's going to save my reputation.

Yep, this is it.

Not exactly as I imagined, but I'm here now, so let's hear the pitch.

You know where you're standing, Deputy Mayor. It's Marshall Court.

One of the city's most publicized neighborhoods when it comes to gun

And drug abuse.

But there is so much more to this community.

With over 50 ethnicities reported on our local census, it's one of the most

diverse communities and voter demographics in the city.

We look out for each other.

And we take notice when people look out for us, too.

A little help from City Hall could go a long way.

It helps shift the focus of the press in your favor since Lorraine's arrest.

Your daughter may have been a part of the problem, but you could be part of

solution.

Fine.

Come here.

Right this way.

It's a great house.

I'm just not sold on the neighborhood.

It's pretty dull.

Do you have any listings anywhere else?

This guy's got places all over the city.

Yeah, tell me about it. He even has a place up north. You know what? Will has

mentioned every place in the GTA except for one.

You can ask him about Port Credit.

And the bridal pass.

I mean, you're living on the same street with Drake.

What about Port Credit?

Brother West, anything over there?

Easy, Dr.

Griffin. Come on, come on, come on, Nathan. Lean into what's real.

Why Port Credit?

That's just my dad.

No, he's 64.

Still works over at the Ford plant near Burlington.

He used to drive me through that area after work as a kid.

Yeah, we'd pick out our favorite houses and talk about med school.

Dream big, you know?

I guess I've always wanted something in that area ever since.

I know you.

You're a dreamer.

And I know that feeling.

It's a $215 pocket square. These are $1 ,800 shoes. And if you saw where I grew

up... Now, look, I haven't moved my business that far west yet.

But if I come across something, I'm going to holler at you, Doc.

Do I got your number?

You can certainly have it.

All right, let me grab you a car.

Okay.

This doesn't make sense.

The title is from the land registry. It's up to date. I mean, it says right

he owns 2621 Stadner Street in Port Credit.

Yeah, it's not listed on his site either.

So, what's Will hiding in Port Credit?

Look, I know it's a fixer -upper, Deputy Mayor, but... Yeah, perfect.

I'll support the funding.

I'll run it through my emergency fund, and I'll have workers here as early as

next month. Thank you, Ms. Briggs. I'll have my publicist, Patty, give you a

call to set up a photo op.

Monday okay?

You can round up a few kids.

Actually, one last thing.

We want to rename the center.

It's named after a former slave owner, and the city turned down a last

I think that's a fantastic idea.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Hey, we were thinking the Donald Moore Recreation Center.

Or Chantal Dunn.

Yeah.

Maybe Jean Augustine.

The Briggs Legacy Center has a really nice ring to it, don't you think?

Float it by your people, see how it fares. Thank you. Detective, pleasure.

Miss Smith, I'll be in touch.

Sure will.

Thank you so much.

The Briggs. Legacy?

It's better than no. I mean, it is better. Okay.

Okay,

listen. You were good, okay? Dr. Griffin, great. But, I mean, he's no

Scarborough Stool, fam.

I'll bet you a roti anapati.

How about that?

Yeah.

Anyway, I should go.

Okay, peace.

Nathan's got eyes on will still.

Nathan's got eyes on something because this property is vacant.

That's Hungarian.

No, is that Swedish? I don't know.

French. Yes. Yeah. Great. Yeah, that's good.

Well, listen, good news is that if it is vacant, we can get in there to check it

out without a warrant. Better news is surrogates sometimes buy houses for

underground criminals to hide out in, so if Will is a coyote surrogate and he's

lying about owning a house... This could be a coyote hideout.

Hey,

I got you something.

No meal, no raises.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Um, can I ask you a question?

I just, like, noticed that you and Nathan, like, got in close these past

months, and I just wonder, and it's no big deal, but, like, do you guys ever

just thought to go from, like, bromance to no -mance?

Wow. Uh, you know, come to think of it, no.

No. Of course. Yeah.

What's the, um...

Like, if you had a secret, what would that be? Like, to your bro bond? What do

you guys... Is it, like, do you go to a hot tub? Because they're nice. Or hot

yoga, that's a good thing to do together.

Probably do that. Or maybe hot tub yoga, because that's a really wonderful thing

to try.

What is it? That's not a thing. It's a real thing. I don't think so. No, it's

excellent. It's a really excellent thing.

No, listen.

Truth is, we show up at work, we have each other's back, and we get the job

done. Yeah, of course. You keep it profesh. Like, you don't...

Axe throwing.

No, sleepovers. Why would we ever do that? So that's great.

Right. Good.

Is it really about me and Nathan?

What?

Oh, my God.

What's he doing?

Is he fumigating?

I don't know, but we've got to get in that house.

I mean, is it safe?

I thought just the same.

I wasn't even out there when that cop got shot.

I still need more than that, Richie.

Look, even if you don't trust me after today, you trust Crystal, right?

So where were you?

I was at the community center.

With who?

By myself.

Really?

Believe what you are.

It doesn't matter. I can't prove it. I'm sorry.

Sorry. I believe you. I believe you, okay?

What were you doing there by yourself?

I was shooting around.

Poor choice of words.

Just saying.

You still trash your horse, though?

Okay.

Okay, trash is an overstatement. I'm better than you.

I still got mad skills even at my age, OK?

Right, right.

I was going to try out for the ball team when I got to college.

I guess it's not happening now.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Look at me.

Look at me. We're getting you out of here, OK?

We're going to get you cleared.

OK. OK.

Um, I was at the community center today. I thought only Crystal had keys to get

in. So how did you?

My grandfather used to be the custodian.

I still have his keys.

Did you ask him for the keys the night of the shooting? Maybe he's your alibi.

You think I haven't thought of that?

He left his keys behind when he moved to the nursing home.

Are we going to talk about the fact that you just had these on hand?

No, thank you.

Upstairs is clear.

Yeah, down here too.

What's back there?

It's a pantry.

Yeah, it's a pantry, but with another door inside.

I know. I checked it already. It's locked.

I figured it connected to the garage. I was going to check on our way out.

I don't think it's locked. I think it's just stuck. You know what I'm going to

do? I'm going to start back here.

Yeah? I'll give myself like a run and start like this.

They're gonna come at it, bam, and I'm gonna kick it like... Yeah!

What?

He's just really cute.

Funny, I have never been more attracted to you. Really? Yeah.

Is it the whole full -body condom suit that's doing it for you? It definitely

is. Protection is, like, super high. It is, right?

Sam!

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Oh, God.

I guess it wasn't just an empty pantry.

I know a lot of this stuff.

The separatory funnel.

It's a robo -tub vacuum.

These are TLC plates.

I mean, I could keep going.

Okay. Acetone? This, ladies and gentlemen, and our non -binary friends,

indeed a drug lab.

Was?

Well, yeah. I mean, the tools are all here, but there's no drugs.

And the acetone's probably used to clean it all up.

Find anything?

Uh, I don't know. Just like a bunch of...

really ugly lady suitcases, obviously designed by men, but... I don't know. Do

you think, uh... they were used to transport drugs?

It's possible.

Maybe the lab can tell us.

Yeah. We should call this one to Nathan. Okay. Come on.

Let's get the hell out of here. Yeah.

Okay.

But you haven't been back at Marshall Court in a pack of minutes.

All right, thank you for your time, Mr. Clark.

Yes, I'm doing everything I can to help your grandson.

Mm -hmm.

Okay.

Take care.

Oh, my gosh.

So your mom finally driving you out your own house?

Almost, but this doesn't belong to me.

Who is it, then?

Uh, possibly the coyotes.

Who's that guy?

This is Will French, park bench real estate mogul. He owns an empty house in

Port Credit where we found the remnants of a possible coyote drug lab.

Okay, so did you bring him in? I mean, maybe he knows something about

Gabrielle's shooting?

Well, the property was vacant and the drugs were gone, so we have plausible

deniability.

So... So you have nothing.

Except for that.

Hoping the lab will be able to tell us if there were drugs inside.

What's that?

Could be nothing, but you should get your guy to the lab to test it when

down there.

Thank you.

Yeah.

So, um, what happened to Richard Clark?

You know, I realized he never disclosed his alibi, so I went to go see him.

Said he was playing basketball at the Rundown Community Center, but he was

alone, so... No street cams?

Nope, I checked. I checked everything.

You know what? Sometimes two nothings make a something.

And it sounds like a meme.

No. Third year of criminology class. Professor Graham, he looked a lot like

Selleck, so I paid close attention.

What? Let's go do what we do.

Go where?

Martial court.

In the meantime, I'm going to get Nuz.

Drop this down to the lab.

Let's go!

No, the dim lights aren't working either.

Are you really practicing your jump shot right now?

Read the room without a key.

Technically, that doesn't make sense given there's only two people in the

Well, technically, your form is ridiculous.

But we don't have time for this right now.

Take a shot. Trust me.

You know,

I haven't missed a free throw in this gym in 2018.

That doesn't count. It was too dark in there.

Exactly. There's no light. And Richard says he was here at night.

I wish he was lying, or... There's still electricity in this place.

It's a smaller one.

It's a smaller one.

It's a smaller one.

Fine. I'm going to use this one.

This might be.

Voila. Right.

A small one.

And on the first day.

Oh, yes.

It was light.

Yeah. Yeah, it's on over here, too.

All right. Let's go to the gym. Maybe there's something there.

Maybe there's something right here.

If Richie had to turn the breakers on to use the gym, I could probably switch

the security systems on, too.

Yeah. Alright, let's go.

Do not open it.

Nanique, you got something for me?

Hey, Tobin.

Look, this is exactly how I got it. I didn't open it and I didn't take

I swear.

Good job.

Being cut soon.

A couple times of shooting.

Um, 10 .05 p .m.

You really think he spent three hours in the gym by himself?

I don't know.

He was probably on a try -not -work -out routine.

Oh. Uh -oh.

He did get better.

Come on, come on, come on.

Just a few more minutes.

10 .05!

Hello. We got something.

Yep, yep. Okay.

We're gonna... So this little piece of pink rubber that you found, live results

came back. Let me guess.

Cocaine? How'd you know?

Eh, I've seen this stuff before.

They turn the coke solid so it's hard to spot and easy to smuggle in. I mean...

It's been disguised as printer toner, metal moldings. Suitcase lining.

It's suitcase lining. Exactly.

And that equipment that we found in that basement lab is what Hazmat, presumably

the coyote chemist, was using to turn it back into its powder form.

Same cocaine as Anthony, same cocaine as the bikers. Adam, Mark, Niccolo, Bingo

Ramirez, they're all working as part of the same network. All signing their

texts with that same coyote emoji.

All moving that same pink cartel cocaine.

Yeah, Sam was right. This is huge.

Well, partially right. I had some friends in fraud spend the day going

Will French's finances.

All his home purchases are with clean money.

Renovations, too. He is not a coyote surrogate.

So they're using this guy's property as a pink coke lab for the pandemia, can't

they? Exactly.

It doesn't make any sense. Why risk all that clean money to align with these

guys? So we have to keep tabs on Will French.

He may not be our surrogate, but he is definitely our way in.

Richie Clark is getting out.

What?

I thought you wanted us to keep our distance.

I've ceased to care about that. Look, I'm happy.

You're happy. So let's just try being happy.

I'm a grown -ass woman.

I don't need to sneak around.

Good.

I'll see you at your place later.

Sounds good.

Sounds real good.

Okay.

Ready? Yeah.

Duff, I've been thinking the night...

I just wanted to say... Okay, Sam, please, I already told you, I don't want

talk about what happened with us. Neither do I.

Listen, I've been thinking and... I try so hard to be your

friend.

Really hard.

And I really just keep messing up the one thing that we do well together.

So, what?

I'm thinking maybe we just keep it profesh.

What do you think?

thing.

If you don't mind, I'm going to call his grandfather.

Of course.

Thanks.

How's that for building a bridge? A tenuous bridge, but a bridge

Off the book?

If I share something with you, this better not be another Richie situation.

I get it.

Understood. I wasn't completely honest with you earlier.

About what?

That night that cop got shot.

Some guy paid me $200 to set off some fireworks by that shot -tipper thingy.

Wait, wait, wait. You have a friend in jail. You have information that could

help. You don't come forward?

In this neighborhood, we know better than to trust cops.

Richie knew the risk he was taking talking to you guys. He gets that.

But what you did for Marshall Court today, Richie and the community center,

you're all right.

The guy who paid you off, who do you look like?

Nah, it was dark.

This guy had to be white.

He had this massive red hickey on his neck, like this thing was huge, fam.

Thanks, appreciate it. Okay.

Hey, hey, hey, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Is that how you saw, look like him?
