What's up, Buck?

Hey shorty, I'ma need you to get up outta here.

Buck, we was just chilling, bruh.

Bruh, shut the fuck up.

Come stash this bread and help him get this shit bagged up.

Martell would've had yo motherfucking head,

so you better be glad it was me who showed up.

'Cause both of y'all in here bullshitting.

Why the fuck would you have the dope in here anyway?

Hit the window! Hit the window!

Hey. They got away, we gotta go!

Just a sec.

We already got the body outta here.

But I figured you'd wanna see this.

Well, I hate to throw paperwork on you guys,

but dope ain't my field of expertise.

So by the looks of it,

and the trail heading out this door,

looks like it was more than what it was.

Oh, and when you do the search warrant,

make sure you add the crawl space.

One of the deputies says they saw some bags

under there with his flashlight.

You need anything else from me?

Nah, we good.

All right.

I'll get started on the warrant.

I heard somebody hit one of your spots last night.

Yeah.

Let me guess.

You need a little time.

I'm always on time. Nothing for you to worry about.

Worry.

See, that's what I like about you, Martell.

Harts Bridge, Unit 308.

You know, before you use that key and open up that lock,

make sure you got your house in order.

Don't lose my confidence.

You tired?

Yeah. Some of us had to do a call-out last night.

Ain't nobody asked you shit, Ham.

You know why I couldn't go out last night.

Oh, shit.

I totally forgot about that.

Ayt, next time, just bring him with you. Yeah.

We can always use an extra set of hands.

Boy, you are an asshole. I swear.

Look, y'all, chill out.

Working hard or hardly working?

Well, me and Sergeant working hard, LT.

Can't say the same for Harris.

Look, I just gotta have a meeting with the Sheriff.

Oh, you mind if I finish it off for you?

I need more drug busts.

I need a more proactive job

getting to the bottom of this fentanyl problem,

now that our beloved state senator,

who's been nothing but a pain in our ass by the way,

daughter decided to do

a bump of coke in the park and die

'cause it was laced with fentanyl.

It's kind of impressive how dead-on he is.

I'm so tired of this shit, LT.

Why don't you tell the Sheriff that then?

Don't play with me, Sarge.

You know I will.

Hey, look, I don't need you doing anything

except what I ask you to do.

This ain't the first or last time

our leash gets tightened one day

and all loose in the next.

Right now, we've got the green light.

Take advantage of it.

You might need to be taking advantage

of the gym there, LT.

Starting to look a little pudgy there.

Sir.

That's funny?

Uh uh. No, sir, not at all.

Shit was hilarious. It wasn't just funny.

y'all trying to get me fired.

Martell.

Is that you?

What's up, bro?

What you mean what's up?

I been looking for you, bro.

I just left from your crib, bro.

I been calling your phone.

Ain't shit wrong with my phone.

Fuck you talking about?

I left my phone in the car

but I definitely been calling you.

How the fuck you know I was over here?

Ain't this your sister house?

I'm coming over here to see if she seen your ass, bro.

Damn!

What you need, bruh?

What you think I need?

Come on.

Damn, you tripping.

What you on, bruh?

There's a whole lot of shady shit going on.

Until I figure this shit out, I'ma change shit up.

What you trying to say? I'm with the shit?

Nah, bruh.

I'm just saying when there's money involved,

people change.

Tell me about it.

Well, what y'all got going on in here?

Man, your brother here on that bullshit,

with his paranoid ass.

My cup runneth dry, bro.

So what's up?

Look, bruh.

You ain't gotta come looking for me.

Don't I always take care of you?

Really, bro, I'm fixing to roll.

I guess I done caught you on your period or something.

What's up, Buck?

Hey, y'all let me know when everything ready, my boy.

Fuck I miss?

Martell ass acting like everybody you run into

got something to do with the spot.

Until I figure this shit out, everybody the suspect.

Tell,

man, you know we've been rocking with DJ

since middle school.

You know he ain't got shit to do with it.

I don't know shit.

If you ain't in this room right now, I don't trust you.

Matter of fact, we need to pull up on Tez.

I need to know who that bitch was at the spot,

and who they been running they mouth to.

How the fuck that spot get hit? Huh?

What?

What?

The fuck!

I'm on the way.

I said I'm on the way.

What happened?

Kia's spot got hit up.

But I'm paranoid, right?

Come on, bruh.

Y'all be careful.

Hi.

Come in.

You all right?

I'm fine.

You sure?

I'm fine.

What about you? This thing with you and Mia?

Now, that I don't know.

I mean, I've tried,

I've tried it all, man.

I don't know.

You got a bright future in this department, Eric.

One day, this desk is gonna be yours.

But if you decided

that you wanted to do something more stable,

like go back to the uniform,

I'd totally understand.

Your family is worth the sacrifice.

My biggest regret is not fighting harder for mine.

Right.

So where is she?

At her mom's house right now, man.

Has the D-word come up yet?

No, not yet.

There's still a chance, brother.

Right.

Come in.

Hey, Sarge, get this.

Yeah.

Patrol just got sent to a burglary

at Shakiah Powell's house.

Can I call 'em off?

Yeah, call 'em off. Tell 'em we're on our way.

I got you.

See you around? - Yeah.

Hey.

Handle your business.

The fuck happened?

What they take?

I don't know.

I swear to God, man.

Where was you at?

I was in the shower.

I knew I heard something drop.

I started calling your name thinking that it was you.

They came through my back door.

My, this is crazy.

All right, come on here.

Well, don't worry about this shit.

Now, go get you some clothes and shit.

Okay. - You ain't staying

here tonight.

I think that's probably the police.

You called the fucking police?

I pay rent here, Martell. I gotta report something.

Look, we don't know shit.

We ain't got shit for 'em.

They ain't got no reason to talk to us.

Hey.

You guys called for a burglary?

Yes, sir. Come on in.

How you fellas doing?

Ma'am, this is your house?

Yes.

But when did you notice this?

Well, I was here when it happened.

I was in the shower when they broke in.

So you was here?

Yes.

Like they just kind of tore the place apart.

Were they looking for something?

Something like what?

I was just asking. It could be anything.

So I'm just curious.

When y'all start doing this type of shit?

Thought this was more of a uniform cop type thing.

No, we, you know, we help out when we can

from time to time.

You know, staff shortages or whatever.

Matter of fact, we just did one of these last night.

Where was that at, Ham?

Oh.

Mitchell Road.

Right, right. Mitchell.

There was a home invasion. One guy got shot.

Mm hmm. We think it's drug-related though.

So whoever did it,

they got off with a boatload of dope and cash.

Yeah, huge shootout in the kitchen too. Tore it up.

Yep. But I'll tell you one thing.

Hey, them folks missed the jackpot.

Man, boo coos of cash down in the crawl space.

How much money was that at? Down in the crawlspace, Ham.

Oh. Shit.

130, packed tight.

$130,000.

Crazy, ain't it?

And you know, that picture on the news gone look real nice.

I might even wear my suit.

I'd even wear my suit for that.

I'm just saying. I just say.

We good.

You don't want us to investigate? Dust for prints?

Nah.

We good.

Ain't it right, babe?

Uh, yeah, we're good.

Sorry for your troubles, but we got it from here.

Are you sure? We're here to help.

Yes. Yes, ma'am, I'm sure.

Okay.

Hey, y'all let me know if y'all change your mind.

Yes, sir.

Some nice Js.

I know where you can find the real ones at.

You good?

Oh, yeah, man. I'm good.

Just hope you have a better evening.

You have a good night.

All right, you too.

Ma?

Not tonight.

Ma?

You all right, Ma?

Yeah, I'm all right. I'm all right.

Ma, you hit your head.

Oh, I just scraped it.

I'm trying to get to the bathroom.

Come, get up.

Where's your walker at?

I don't need that damn thing.

Come go to the bathroom.

I'ma go find a band-aid.

Just holla when you done.

I don't need all that.

Help me take my shoes off.

That's for you

and that's for whoever it is.

And make sure you tell 'em that shit was a miss.

Man, hold up, bro. This is it?

Split like we agreed.

Ain't found but 35 rack and some dope.

And you don't want nothing to do with dope, right?

Man. Fuck, man.

You know the cops found over 100,000 in that fucking house?

In the fucking crawl space.

Ain't no fucking way.

Bruh, the cops found a hundred bands in the house, bruh.

God damn.

Man, shit went left, bruh.

Be glad we got that.

I had to pop a motherfucker.

Man, we came up off the dope.

Soon as I find somebody to off that shit, I'll break bread.

Nah, bruh. Don't be in no rush to do that, bruh.

Last thing we need

is to get ourselves on the radar over some dope, bruh,

when people know we don't fuck off like that.

And plus, I'm sure he put the word out about it already.

I feel you.

This coming up short today ain't helping nothing, bruh.

I already figured it was gonna be shit there, bruh.

I ain't expect much. That's his girl, John.

I knew he won't keep nothing around him like that.

This shit like buying scratch off, bruh.

Sometimes you win, most time you lose.

I tell you what, bruh.

I got the drop on another spot for you, bruh,

if you down for a stake out tomorrow.

That's what I do, baby.

My guy.

Let's get this money, bruh.

You know it bruh.

This right here? Nah.

You need a real lick, bruh.

Who is it?

What up, Buck?

Bruh.

Put some clothes on.

Come ride with me.

How the hell you know I was here, bruh?

I'm in the middle of something.

Like I said, put some clothes on.

Let's ride.

You too, baby girl. Put some clothes on.

Let's roll.

Get out.

What's going on, Martell?

Who you got hitting my shit?

I know you got something to do with it.

I ain't got nothing to do with that, man.

I ain't got nothing to do with that, Buck.

You look at me, motherfucker!

I find it funny,

all these years, this shit been going smooth,

now, all of a sudden, past few weeks,

I done got three spots hit up by these jack boys.

Then I come to find out,

You all up in my spot with some bitch.

Martell, bro, I promise you on my mama,

we ain't had nothing to do with that.

She just came to chill, bro.

This her first time seeing you.

We ain't talked about none of that shit.

I see your mouth moving.

Hell, maybe you even telling the truth.

Maybe somebody else in this room

had something to do with it.

Maybe it's just a coincidence.

But I'ma figure this shit out.

Believe that.

But, Tez, don't change the facts.

You violated the fucking rule.

Rules that I made crystal fucking clear.

Martell.

Martell, I swear to God I'd do anything

to make this shit right, bro.

I'd do anything. Please.

Don't do this, man.

You'll do anything, huh?

Say that then.

Rico.

What the fuck was that?

You know how he is.

He paranoid. He just trying to prove a point.

Bro, I ain't with this shit, man.

Bringing us up here like we some peons or some shit.

This shit was all the way disrespectful, man.

I wasn't feeling that shit neither, bro.

But they just hit a major lick on, bro.

He emotional right now. It's gonna blow over, bro.

Man, fuck all that, man.

I can't keep dealing with dude

with his mood swings and shit, man.

Man, look, I got a plug down there in Mississippi.

Shit, the prices ain't like his,

but, man, I ain't got to take this shit, bro.

Shit.

That's a whole nother issue there, bruh.

What you think Martell gone do

if he find out you buying work from somebody else?

Man, business is business.

And shit, man, if he wanna take it personal,

man, we got to take it there, shit, we can take it there.

You feel me?

I feel you, bro.

Man, fuck dude.

Man, you be easy, bruh.

All right, bro.

Put your shoes on, baby. We gotta get ready to go.

And stop running around this house.

Malaysia, can you please get off your phone

and help me get them ready?

Tyson, did you brush your teeth?

Yes.

Malaysia, come here.

Well, look, I gotta go to work, but this is for the driver,

so walk your brother and sister out

when the shuttle gets here, and get that to him please.

Now, this is for you and your sister.

Tanya will be here the same time as always.

And she says she's gonna take you to Incredible Pizza

with your little cousins before she goes to work.

But I want you to have your own money, okay?

Okay, Ma.

Now, look, I gotta work late tonight

so watch for the shuttle, lock the doors,

and it's TV dinners in the fridge

in case you guys get hungry.

Mama, I know what to do.

All right, well, call me if you need anything.

All right.

Okay, y'all be good. Love you.

Love you. - Bye.

Okay, let's go.

About time you showed up.

Please, don't start. Not today, please.

Sorry, Sarge. It's been a rough morning.

It's cool. You all right?

Yeah. What I miss?

We're gonna shake a few trees today

to see if we can get anything stirred up.

We got, um, we got three guys on the board today.

They must have missed some court dates.

Give us a reason to go pay 'em a visit.

Fresh?

Just dropped today.

Okay. Sounds good.

Well, y'all grab y'all stuff.

We're gone get in together.

All right.

Hey, get those eye boogers out your eyes.

You look like a crusty ol' muffin.

Maybe later.

Jokes.

All right. Y'all already know who this is.

Harris, you gonna get the side. Ham, you get the front.

I get the back, just in case if she try to run again.

Okay, got it?

Got you. - [Harris] Yep.

Hold up.

She's in the car.

Dope heads, man.

Asleep in the car.

Kim.

Hey, Kim!

Wake your high ass up.

Hey.

I think she OD'ed.

Hold on.

701 radio.

We need EMS dispatched at 1480 Ness Road.

We have a female DOA.

Oh, God.

It's like I can taste it.

Okay.

Okay. I think I'm okay.

Ham.

Ham.

What?

Moist.

My God, you're so mean.

Damn, Tell got you making runs?

'Til we figure out whatever this is,

this how it gone be.

Dig that.

I'm patient, bruh.

I just need a little communication.

That's why I popped up the other day,

trying to see what's up.

'Cause all this other shit ain't called for.

Man, fuck all that.

I'ma make sure you straight.

Okay, that what's up.

But look, I'm hearing that Tell rubbed Rico the wrong way

about that little situation.

Y'all might wanna check his temperature.

Right.

But I'ma get up with you though.

Hey, let me hit you back.

Yo, Rico!

Damn, bruh, been hitting your line all day.

I oughta charge you for the half tank gas

it took me to get out here.

Buck, you drove out here on your own, man.

I didn't tell you to drive out here.

That's on you.

Facts.

What can I do for you, man?

You know, I remember we used to shoot ball in the yard,

sun up to sun down.

Country boy without a care in the world.

This the first time ever I don't feel welcome.

We good, bro?

Buck, you know I got nothing but love for you, bro.

You always been a standup guy.

But Martell, not so much.

That's what we owe.

Tell Martell, man, I got my own thing going on from now on.

Rico, you know Martell the one put you in that position.

The valley is where we started hustling.

You know, bro, I ain't gone take this shit too light.

This ain't that, bruh. This ain't that.

Like I said, Buck, I got nothing but love for you, man.

I know this shit putting you

between a rock and a hard place.

Man, we done been through a lot.

But Martell, man, he ain't been here in a long time, man.

These young cats, man, they don't know him.

Look. I'm good over here, man.

However you wanna take it, man, we can take it.

Bet.

That's what's up.

Man, what you think?

Might not be today.

Might not be tomorrow.

But you boys be ready.

All right, look. This next one is Cody Martin.

I heard that he might be right past these trees

in a foreclosed house squatting.

At least that's what I heard.

So we're gonna go ahead and check it out.

We're gonna walk up on foot so he won't hear us.

10-4.

You familiar with him, Harris?

Mm. Vaguely.

Look, he ain't the sharpest,

but he damn sure the strongest knife in the drawer.

Hey, if y'all see him, put your hands on him.

Hey, don't even let him think about it. Cuff him.

Copy.

What's up, Lieutenant?

Hey, I just heard you check out on Hammons.

What you got?

We just gonna go search a house right now,

serve a warrant.

I'm not too far away.

Right.

Hold on a second. I'll come back you up.

All right.

Hey, Chief's gonna come help us run back up.

We gonna need it.

I'm just saying, since when we start letting Tez

and anybody else do that shit at Grandma house?

It's bad enough you got me stashing the cash over there.

But the dope too, bruh.

Now, it's all shot up.

She probably rolling in her grave right now.

And that's on you and Buck's ass,

'cause wasn't nobody supposed to be over there

in the first place.

Monica, all I need you to do

is worry about what I need you to do.

I ain't put that on you.

Your mouth didn't.

Look, I got you taking care of the cash.

I got Buck taking care of the dope.

Somewhere in the mix, it was a miscommunication.

I won't blame you for that.

We gotta make sure it don't ever happen again.

So you ever thought about what I told you?

Nah, not really.

So my ideas just get ignored?

You probably the only man I know

still walking around with that much cash,

hiding and burying the shit.

You gotta get with the times eventually.

Sis.

You know I love you, right?

Well, shut the fuck up and do what I tell you.

Buck, what up?

What the fuck now?

Sheriff's Office!

Hey, we got one running.

Got the back covered.

Status?

Lieutenant, I'm going in.

Ham, Greer, status?

No, no, no, no.

Greer!

All right, stop resisting.

Get off me.

Ah! Harris!

Ah.

Ah.

I didn't do nothing.

You guys come into my house.

Ah. I'm just protecting myself.

Y'all didn't show me a badge or nothing.

How do I know you're real cops, huh?

You heard anything?

No.

They say mild concussion maybe.

I'm waiting on x-rays.

I feel so bad.

For what?

Nah.

Man, you, you got me good,

but you were handling business in there.

Look, Sarge, go home and take care of that.

I got this.

You sure?

Sarge, I got it.

It'll take me one, two hours tops.

I feel like go pop a PM,

right to bed.

See you tomorrow.

See ya.

Look, I didn't know you was gonna be here.

I needed a couple things. I was just leaving.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Can we, can we talk for a second?

I have somewhere to be, Eric.

Not now. I'm sorry.

We will, just, not now.

Hey.

Bad time?

Nah, come on in, man.

Hey.

It's been a day.

Are you all right, man?

Yeah, I'm all right.

I just really don't understand that woman, man.

I've tried it all.

Yeah.

Now, if I was any good at giving relationship advice,

I'd probably still be in one.

Yeah.

So what's the verdict on Ham?

Concussion. Two cracked ribs.

He's gonna be out a little while.

Damn.

You know, man, I'm going crazy

being cooped up in that office.

I'm gonna take Hamilton's place

until he's ready to come back.

You're still running the show.

I'm just here to assist.

You know, that's kind of how it was

before you got promoted.

Come on, man.

Okay. All right.

You know I, for the life of me,

I can't figure out why you didn't take up comedy

instead of law enforcement.

Oh, still thinking about it.

It's Harris.

Yo?

Hey, hey, calm down.

Say it again?

No. We on our way.

What's up?

Something about Harris and her kids.

Harris.

Harris, what's going on?

DCS got my kids.

DCS? Why?

Malaysia was at home cooking a pizza in the oven

and she fell asleep and it caught on fire.

So what happened for DCS to get involved?

She ran across the street to the neighbors to ask for help

and they called 911.

So when they brought 'em in, they called DCS.

So they was at home by themselves?

Wait, I mean, Malaysia, she a teenager though, right?

She's 13.

Look, Sarge, I been trying to pull my weight

so I stayed behind a little longer to enter that evidence

and complete the after action reports.

I was just about to leave when they called me.

I can't afford daycare in the morning

and a babysitter in the evening,

so sometimes they have to sit at home until I get there

from time to time.

The only person I trust to watch them is my cousin

and she just picked up a second shift job.

I feel like I'm up to my ears and I'm about to drown.

Oh, so you don't have no other family?

All my family's in Bolivar,

and they got their own issues.

I don't need this right now. Not now.

Harris, the officer.

So what you think?

That was her oldest daughter

she brought to the ball last year, right?

Yeah.

She was pretty mature

so I don't see them doing an emergency removal,

but they're probably gonna keep their eye on her

for a little while.

That's good.

So how long has this been going on?

I've let her skate on a few search warrants,

maybe a couple call-outs, man,

but just from time to time.

Greer, Narcotics requires flexibility, you know this.

Look, I know.

I know, but I mean, they put her back on patrol, man,

she gonna get evenings, and that ain't gonna help her out.

Man, me and Ham, we got it.

Me and Ham, we gonna handle it, and you know,

at least 'til she get back on her feet.

All right, look, Ham's gonna be out a couple more weeks.

I'm gonna help you while I can,

but I gotta report numbers to the Captain.

And eventually, he's gonna wonder

why her numbers aren't keeping up.

I mean, I feel like ever since

all this money came into the picture,

I ain't nothing but a worker.

Like he don't even treat me like I'm blood.

All this subliminal shit.

And now that these dudes done hit our spot,

he even crazier.

And I bet with all this shit that's going on,

he don't have none of his shooters

keeping an eye out on you.

Hell no.

He didn't before. He damn sure ain't now.

He bullheaded man.

I even offered to help. He looked at me like I was crazy.

Like we ain't been friends since middle school.

Like I ain't ate some of that fire ass mac and cheese

Ma Mae used to make.

And like you ain't used to sneak in my room

to feel on my booty.

Still do. Gonna keep doing it.

You know he would've killed us then if he found out.

He damn sure would now.

Look, what he don't know won't hurt him.

Oh, whatever you say.

But look, for real though,

whenever you making these runs, let me know,

so I can trail you, make sure you safe.

It's way too hot out here right now,

and we don't know who these cats is

that's hitting y'all spot.

Look, I ain't gonna never let nothing happen to you.

Okay, baby?

All right.

I gotta pee.

Hello.

What's good, bro?

I been sitting here 10 minutes waiting on your ass.

Fuck you at?

I'm walking up now.

Yo, what's going on with you, bro?

Say what?

You a grown ass man, dawg.

Who the fuck you sneaking around here to see?

Nobody.

I'm just taking care of some business

I need to be discreet with.

Like smashing Martell's sister?

Yeah, I saw her name pop up on your phone earlier.

15 minutes later, I'm dropping you off over here.

Come on, bro, I ain't stupid.

I know she stay over there in the cove.

Look, bro, I got just as much invested

in this shit as you do.

Now, I don't need you keeping me in the dark

when you playing with fire.

I'm just stacking dominoes, bro.

Look, we sell more work for Martell than anybody.

He living like a king because he got a connect.

We should be living like kings, bro.

You feel me?

So until these dominoes fall into place,

I gotta keep something close to the vest.

You'll see soon enough though.

And you gone thank me for it.

But until then,

put this little raggedy motherfucker in drive

and let's slide.

Ma, you know you can't lay in bed all day now.

You gonna have to get up and move around a little bit.

Ma.

Ma! Ma!

Yes, can I get an ambulance to 401 Stonebridge, please?

Yeah, my mother has heart problems,

she ain't responding right now.

Naw, handle your business.

The doc said he gonna lower her meds.

He think that's what it is.

Yeah, you know I will.

I love you too.

Your sis?

Mm.

Bro, I hate to even call her, bro.

She already got enough on her plate.

Appreciate you scooping me too, bro.

Oh, man, say that for somebody else.

You call it's automatic, bro.

You know I don't mind come sitting with Miss Val sometime.

I know you be trying to be a hard ass and everything.

See this shit stressing you out, bro.

She got an appointment next Friday.

And then if she get approved for the transplant,

I don't even know how we gonna pay for it, bro.

You know I been watching this spot, right?

I think it's a good lick, it's just in a bad location.

One way in, one way out on a dead end street.

Nah, ex that bro.

It ain't even worth it, man.

Nah, that's the reason it is, bro.

They know you have to be a crazy motherfucker

to even try it.

I'ma crazy motherfucker.

Harris.

Hey, Sarge.

Good morning. I thought you was off today.

I am but I had to come to talk to Ms. Boyd about a case.

All right. You know Bird did the same thing.

She called me this morning

and said that she gonna be a little late, so.

Hey, how about you hop in, let's go grab something to eat.

All right.

That what I'm talking about.

Mm. Uh uh.

Move! You ain't brushed your teeth yet.

Hell Nah.

Acting like you ain't ever kiss me

without my teeth brushed. - I haven't. Whatever.

Uh uh, make sure you put it back in the refrigerator.

Thank you.

Babe.

Yep?

Thanks, babe.

Mm hmm.

Martell.

Mm hmm.

We need to talk.

Like, what's your plan?

What you talking about, Kia?

Like, is this street thing your plan A, B, C?

Are you looking for something else?

Where all this coming from?

I'm just thinking.

Like, the streets don't have,

ain't never had a happy ending.

So, are you doing this to elevate to something,

like I don't know, like what is it?

Fuck is that?

I don't know.

You expecting somebody?

No.

Martell!

Now, get the fuck back!

Thanks for breakfast, Sarge.

No problem.

Hey, let me ask a question.

Yeah?

You ever thought about transferring?

No, I mean, don't take it the wrong way,

but have you ever thought about it?

Back to patrol?

Yeah.

No. I mean, I worked my ass off to get here.

If I had to transfer back to patrol,

I'd just apply with the city.

Their pay and benefits is much better anyway.

That's true.

Why?

Well, I don't wanna put too much more stress

than what you already got going on,

but LT put a tidbit on me last night.

They say you gotta start carrying your weight.

Hey, look, Sheriff is,

they want us to be more proactive, you know,

just so that, you know,

the brass is watching our stats, man.

And Chew, he a good supervisor. He got your back.

But come on, you know your numbers are lacking

more than anybody else in the office.

Nah, but hey, hey, but we got you though.

We understand why.

But, man, even LT can't do nothing

if they start making suggestions.

You know what I'm saying?

Hey, look, this just something to think about.

All units, just received a report

of a shooting at 472 Echols Street.

472 Echols Street.

We've just received the report.

That's the girlfriend's house, aint it?

Yeah.

Any unit that can respond, please respond.

Yeah, I'm about to ride that way.

Call me if you need anything, all right?

I will.

Harris, I'm serious.

I will.

There he go right there.

Do this shit.

My apologies, homie. I didn't mean to keep you waiting.

But let me holla at you in private.

DJ, bro, I been sitting out here damn near an hour, man.

Man, what's going on bro?

What, you don't trust your homies or something?

'Cause I damn sure trust mine, man.

What's up, bro?

You need me to step, bruh?

Nah, bruh, you good.

I just heard some shit

so I thought I couldn't put a bug in you.

Man, you got me out here, man, for some gossip, bruh?

Bruh, you could take it as gossip or a heads up.

That's on you.

Somebody popped off at Martell this morning.

All right.

Buck told Martell you ain't copping work no more.

So word is Martell think you on the offensive.

Bruh, how you know about that?

About what?

About the whole situation with Buck.

I got a reliable source.

So what?

What, you work for ESPN or some shit?

Bruh, you funny as hell.

I appreciate that info, bruh.

Good looking out.

Hey, but let me, let me ask you something.

What's up?

Why you telling me this?

Relationships mean everything.

Martell been on one lately.

He's super emotional.

If he go down, where does that leave us?

I gotta eat. You gotta eat.

So hopefully, knowing I scratch your back,

you'll scratch mine.

But look, I'm just bringing you the information,

so if the rumor's true, y'all could be prepared.

But I'll get up with you.

Damn, bro.

You ain't told me nothing

about Martell getting hit this morning.

I swear to God you treat me like a hoe, bruh.

I don't appreciate that shit.

Look, bro. I told you you gonna have to trust me, dog.

My bad if I don't tell you every little detail,

but you gonna have to chill on me, bruh.

Hello?

Nah, I'm out handling some business.

What?

Where you at?

All right, all right, gimme about an hour or so.

I'll be over there.

All right.

Look, bro, I need you to run me to the city real quick.

Pull into this spot right here, bro.

I'll be right back, bro.

All right.

Let's go and get out of here.

So what I'm understanding

is you want us to have a shared experience

in this inconvenience.

Nah, I'm saying that I ain't gonna be able

to re-up my usual until I figure this shit out.

War is never good for business.

I'm a bit of a historian myself,

and there's never been a war

where the economy didn't take a nosedive

after the first shots were fired.

But eventually, things trend back to normal

and life goes on.

I have a great relationship with my supplier,

and that relationship depends heavily

on my ability to keep that wheel spinning.

So, Martell, I suggest you figure this little situation out

and do it fast,

because I have no intention of slowing that wheel down.

Sh.

What she say?

What you think she said?

Business as usual.

Tell, I just don't see bro doing this.

We need to have a sit-down, talk about this shit.

... Ain't no motherfucking talking.

We let this shit slide, then what they gonna think?

Nah.

So pick that shit up and stash it.

See, we gonna run what's already out there,

and I'll make sure the money get moved around.

And let the squad know what's up too.

And when it's about to go down, I'll let you know.

Get outta here.

Hello?

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Gimme one sec.

Hey, bro, let me take this call, if they come back for me.

I'll be right back.

I ain't wake you up, did I?

You know I need my beauty sleep.

What you got going on?

Female driver.

Male passenger hit the wood line, man,

as soon as the car stopped.

Why'd you pull 'em over?

I was on my way to the office,

but they was swerving all over the road.

I think they was arguing or something.

I was gonna give them a warning until he ran.

She seemed like she might be on something, so might be good.

All right. Well, I got your six, man.

Tonya, you mind stepping out for me?

I didn't even do nothing.

Step out, let's talk about it.

You ain't got nothing illegal on you, do you, or in the car?

No.

Mind if I check?

You gonna do what you gonna do anyway.

Step back here. Hold your hands out.

Just for a second.

Step over here for me, ma'am.

You have anything illegal on you?

Nope.

Do you mind pulling your shirt out at the center

and pull your bra out?

I just need to make sure there's nothing in there.

I ain't got no bra on.

What, you wanna check?

All right. No need, I believe you.

Step over here.

So, guy that ran, who was he?

My husband.

What's his name?

I don't know.

You don't know your husband's name?

Mm mm.

So, this guy that you married, why'd he run?

I don't know.

Hmm, he saw the way you're treating me,

maybe he didn't want you to treat him the same way.

So when's the last time y'all used?

Used? What?

You diabetic?

Mm mm.

You got a syringe on the floor.

I don't know nothing about no syringe.

Look, y'all good to go,

unless you wanna wait on your passenger

to come out the woods.

Surprised you didn't find anything.

They had a syringe on the floor.

She'll be back out, man, using again

by the time I finish my paperwork.

Waste of time, man.

To any unit near 127 Lindsey Lane,

we got a call holding for a welfare check.

Neighbor's standing by.

704 to radio.

I'm close by, I'll take it.

10-4.

Paperwork can wait.

Come on, work with me.

Hello?

Hi, I'm Lieutenant Chew

with the Sheriff's Office Special Division.

This is Sergeant Greer with Narcotics.

Hey. - We're responding

to a call about a welfare check.

Narcotics? Oh, good.

Hopefully, I'm not being paranoid

but my neighbors over there

haven't been home in almost two days

and they've got two small children.

I was just hoping you guys could go check

and make sure they're not in there.

Okay, sure.

What makes you think the kids are there?

My neighbors are on drugs, bad.

I've called DCS.

I've even called you guys and filed a report before.

I'm afraid for those kids.

They are in no shape to take care of them.

I saw them leave the other night

and the kids weren't with them.

Okay, well, we're gonna go check it out.

And you sure they haven't been there in two days?

Yes, I'm sure of it.

Okay, well, thank you for calling,

and we'll be back over here if we need anything, okay?

Okay. Thank you, officers.

Thank you.

Hey, by the way, do you know what they drive,

or anything like that?

You know I'm not very good with cars,

but I think they had a black car.

Thank you.

Sheriff's Office!

Sheriff's Office. Is anyone here?

Sheriff's Office.

Hey.

Hey, what's up?

I damn near sat on it all shift.

They came just like you said.

All good. Was he alone?

First, he came about an hour ago.

Another car came, they chatted for like five minutes,

put something in the car, other car drives off.

I figured he stayed back a little, smoke,

'cause his car reeked of weed.

I figured this was the one you wanted.

Yeah, the other car was just the drop off.

This one is riding dirty.

Ain't y'all supposed to tell what I did wrong?

Shit goin' on, bro?

All right, come on back here.

Hey, I ain't give you permission to search my car.

Noted, but I don't need it.

What you mean you don't need it, man?

Y'all dirty as fuck, bro.

Man, this some bullshit and you know it.

I'ma sue the fuck outta y'all.

Both of y'all.

This shit is illegal.

Look, y'all need to go and lock me up

'cause I ain't got nothing to say to you.

So you can save them little tricks and tactics

you think you about to use,

'cause I don't know shit and I ain't got shit for you.

Ah. Cortez, you don't wanna talk to me.

Well, you don't have to talk, you can just listen.

Now, Cortez, there's a whole lot of dope in that bag.

A whole lot of dope in that bag.

And I wonder how would Martell feel

if he knew that you lost it?

Yeah. I know who you work for.

And the word on the street is he been wild,

like all out of control.

Going to the extreme just to prove a point.

Like having one of his guys kill his girlfriend

just to prove his loyalty.

Hm.

I wonder how far I could get with that

if I pressed that issue.

Still don't wanna talk to me?

Like I said, just listen.

See, Cortez, I don't even want you.

I want Martell.

And you gonna help me get him.

As a matter of fact, I think you gonna put forth

an A plus effort to help me get him.

Yeah?

Hey, I need you or somebody to come scoop me.

Cops pulled me over,

and had to ditch the car, get out on foot.

And where you at?

I don't know, man.

Somewhere on 51.

I'ma drop the pin.

All right.

Hey, bro, let's go.

Fuck, man.

Who is it?

It's Harris.

Look, Sarge, I'm sorry, I know it's late,

but you gotta hear this.

It couldn't wait.

All right.

So you didn't try to speed off

and ditch the shit?

Tell, it's like they knew

I was coming through or something.

One was waiting up ahead and another was behind me.

We always put the work in the trunk.

I wasn't gone reach that shit in time.

I drove by there and the car wasn't there

so they got this shit.

That's the last fucking thing I need.

But all they got was the work.

The work don't do no talking,

so we gonna have to charge that to the game.

We needed that brick, bruh,

to make sure we stand strong with what we got going on.

Might need to rethink this war shit for a minute.

Buck, when I say we good.

What about me though, man?

Police probably gone be looking for me and shit.

Man, just lay low for now.

Buy another phone, keep in touch with Buck.

And if you do get hemmed up and jammed up,

keep your fucking mouth shut.

We'll take care of the lawyers

and all that other court shit.

All right, man.

How you get that?

Well, one of my CIs told me

that there's gonna be a pickup going down earlier today.

So I got one of the city guys to stop the car.

I got Cortez Powell with a brick, so we wired him up,

and now I got this recording

of Martell claiming it for he is.

What about the CI? Credible?

We can't use the CI, but we don't have to.

Tez rolled through a stop sign,

and when we stopped the car, it reeked of weed.

So they gave me probable cause to search.

Once I flipped Tez, there's no reason to even burn my CI.

Harris.

Come on, Harris.

Oh. We needed this win.

You know how long we've been waiting to get this?

And look, it gets even better.

Tez has agreed to ID every trap house

and every stash spot that he knows about.

So I was thinking we hit 'em all at once

before we even go after Martell.

That way, by the time we put the cuffs on,

ain't no way in hell they coming off.

Girl, I knew you was gonna come through.

I wanna give you a hug.

That's cool and everything, Sarge,

but you, you probably wanna take a shower first.

I don't need to take a shower.

Hey, send me a copy of that.

Hey, where you want me to meet you?

All right, I'll be over there shortly.

I didn't want you to think I was hiding shit from you.

Bro, I just think you playing with fire.

We ain't got the soldiers to go at Martell

if this shit go left.

Bro, I predict by tonight, tomorrow or the next day,

Martell is gone be a non-factor.

It's a dog eat dog world, bro.

You think Martell give a shit about us?

All he care about is how we get this work off.

That makes us an asset.

As soon as we wanna grow and become real bosses,

we become a threat to him.

I'm just getting in front of it all.

Yeah, all that sound good.

But Martell got the connect.

And ain't none of this shit you doing gone get that.

Bro, I'm about to ride with his sister

to where they stashing all the cash.

She trust me.

Who you think he gonna pass the operation to

'cause can't nobody else run it?

And who you think gone benefit from all the pillow talk?

Me and you.

You need me to come with you?

No.

Matter of fact, just lay low a little bit

'cause I don't know if his ass got cameras

or nothing around here.

All right?

All right.

She tripping.

Got us switching cars and shit.

Excuse me, sir, I don't mean to bother you,

but you wouldn't happen to be

the owner of this property, would you?

No, sir. I'm riding with a friend.

Oh, okay.

I've noticed this place

and I've been trying to find out who the owner is.

Hey, man, I can't help you.

Can't? Oh, man.

Excuse me. Can I help you?

I sure hope so, ma'am.

I'm trying to get in contact

with the owner of this property.

I was wanting to see if it's available.

No, sir. I'm sorry, it's not for sale.

Okay.

Sorry to bother you two.

Who the fuck is that?

I don't know.

Probably somebody just wanna flip a house or something.

I don't know.

But can you come back home with me?

Right now?

Hell no.

But why?

Tell and Buck outta town meeting with a gun connect

for this thing they're preparing for with Rico.

They about to be gone all day. We good.

And I need it right now.

Might need to rethink this war shit for a minute.

Buck, when I say we good, we good.

What about me though, man?

Police probably gone be looking for me and shit.

Man, just lay low for now.

Buy another phone, keep in touch with Buck.

And if you do get hemmed up and jammed up,

keep your fucking mouth shut.

We'll take care of the lawyers and all the other court shit.

All right, man.

All right, ah, let's examine ourselves here, all right?

The recording is the cherry on top.

We just need to make sure that the sundae's good.

Now, Cortez Powell is the foundation of this case.

We need to make sure everything is solid.

Now, a CI led you to him.

If need be, would you be willing to identify the CI?

I, I'd rather not.

All right. Stop.

Everything's solid there.

My question is, why is Powell doing this?

I mean, why flip now?

Well, I'm told Jamie Jones was his girlfriend.

What, the missing girl?

Yeah, apparently there was a situation

where Martell forced him to kill his girlfriend.

Now, at this point, that's just hearsay.

We have absolutely no proof whatsoever.

But I used that,

figuring that the relationship with Martell might be rocky.

Now, the dope was just a start,

but possibly being implicated in a murder, that broke him.

And does Bobby know about this?

I'm not sure.

Touch bases with Bobby.

Murder trumps drugs.

Even if it's hearsay, he needs to know about it.

All right, draw up the warrants, find the judge.

I'll call the city,

see if they can spare us some guys to come along.

Damn good work, Harris.

Let's get it done.

Yes, sir.

You sure you good?

Yeah, it's just my partner blowing me over.

Prolly on some dumb shit. It's all good.

Well, anyway, got here to keep yourself entertained

while I go jump in the shower.

You're saying I can't watch?

Ah ah ah, nope.

Don't act like you ain't never had the box before.

Tripping.

Thought you could pull this shit off?

You really thought Rico was gone flip on me, bruh?

I ain't gonna lie.

Had me going for a minute.

Hell, you even had me giving Buck the side eye for a minute.

I knew it had to be somebody close to me.

That was your plan though, right?

But when your dumb ass came over here that day,

that's when I knew.

Took me a minute.

But I figured it out.

So tell me,

was it worth it?

Bro, you really love to hear yourself talk, don't ya?

I lived like a G, and I'ma die like a G.

So who gone do it?

You, Buck?

You?

Man, y'all quit bullshitting

and get this shit over with then.

Wow.

Fuck is you waiting for?

What am I supposed to do now?

You figure this shit out.

Hey, we got a fucking problem.

Come on.

Oh, shit.

You still know how to put one of those on?

Only use them

when we we're still in diapers, man.

That's probably true.

What you doing here, man?

Heard about the raid.

I went and got cleared by the doc.

Think I was gonna let y'all take credit

for all my hard work?

It's good to see you.

Good to see you too. LT?

Good to see you, man.

Good to see you too, man.

Who's in charge here?

I'm gonna get right to the point.

I know you guys are about to serve a warrant

on Martell Jenkins.

You're gonna have to call it off.

I'm gonna ask how you knew all that, but let me guess,

it has something to do with us

getting in the middle of something you guys are working on?

There's something you need to know.

DEA shows up all of a sudden. I wonder why.

They either want the Martell case for themselves

or he's working with them.

Either way, don't be surprised if Chew calls this off.

He ain't got the balls for this.

We gotta call it off.

You gonna let these folks come in here and do this?

Huh?

Right now, Martell's the least of our problems.

Call it off.

Got a pen? - Yes sir, I do.

Here.

Good luck.

Thank you, sir.

I'm Lieutenant Bobby Clarke.

Major Investigations Division.

Mademan County Sheriff's Office.

It is 8:03 PM.

The date is June 4th, 2023.

This is an interview with Nicole Deandria Harris,

employed with Mademan County Sheriff's Office

as an investigator in the Narcotics division.

Investigator Harris refused lawyer representation,

with her only request being that her supervisor,

Sergeant Eric Greer, be present during the interview.

Is that correct?

Yes.

I'm gonna state for the record

that Special Agent Charles Logan with the DEA Task Force

is also observing.

Investigator Harris, how do you know David White, aka DJ?

I met him through my work.

I arrested him for narcotics possession

when I served a warrant at his home.

Is this how he became a confidential informant for you?

Soon thereafter, yes.

DJ was never officially charged

for the crime of this arrest.

Can you explain why?

He offered to give me information on Martell Jenkins.

This information he provided you with,

did you use it to build a case against Martell Jenkins?

Yes.

Is it true that you also provided the same information

to other individuals who were not affiliated

with any law enforcement agency?

Yes.

What was your intent

for providing them with this information?

To rob Martell.

For money or narcotics?

Whatever they could find of value.

Did you profit whenever they found something of value?

Yes.

Can you elaborate on how you receive profit?

Cash.

And if they found dope and could sell it,

cash from that too.

Do you know the individuals who would do this for you?

I don't know.

Are you aware that men were shot

and killed during these robberies?

Yes.

And you're stating on record that you don't know the men

you provided this information to?

Yes.

You know, I've interviewed murderers,

rapists, complete psychopaths.

I tell you that tonight was hard, harder than all of them.

So what's next?

Ah, Sheriff put her on leave without pay.

DEA bringing the wiretaps in tomorrow.

I'm letting the prosecutor make that call.

You know, I got a brand new bottle of bourbon at home

with my name on it.

You're welcome to join me.

Thank you.

Thank you, Bobby. But not tonight.

All right.

Rain check.

Take care of yourself.

You do the same.

Hello?

Hey, what's up, Chew?

I just left the hearing, man. Where you at?

I'm up the street at Fairview,

paying a visit to an old friend.

Stop by and fill me in.

All right.

I'm not too far away. I'll see you in a minute.

I'll see you there.

I'm not interrupting anything, am I?

No. Not at all.

So what happened?

Well, something must have happened before the hearing.

A lawyer had to recuse herself.

Another lawyer picked it up, man,

but they reset it for another two months.

You know, I hate that it,

I hate that it came to this, you know?

No matter the circumstances,

we all gotta take responsibility for our actions.

Yeah.

Oh, I heard White woke up.

Yeah. Yeah, Bobby called him.

Of course, he said he don't remember what happened though.

How he got to the hospital.

Yeah, of course, he doesn't.

You didn't think he'd make it that easy, did you?

So who's this?

A damn good man.

Gone way too soon.

Let's go grab a bite.

You're paying this time, ain't you?

And you're the one making all the money.

This go around, I'm not playing a cop.

I'm on the other side of the law, this go around.

I guess you could say I'm the main antagonist.

This series, I am the local drug distributor

for the cartels,

so he's a very interesting character.

Without giving too much,

because we want people to be surprised.
