Hey, what's up, bro? You got a minute?

Yeah, I need a favor, bro.

This is far more tragic than was comprehended. This has got to stop. I

understand everything as a man. I'm authorized by God to make this petition.

Believe it. Especially when you hate and aim to kill a man.

You do not have the right to abuse or petition.

No indeed. Do no complaining.

We gonna help you understand.

We should get it straight. Speak up for man's brother or not they listen.

Think we supposed to sit and shut up? Do you dare leave us understand?

What is the protocol?

When a gun is up in your face, your hands is up in the air. Anger and fear

over your face.

Unarmed, but they don't care. Because you're a man of a darker race. See, our

lives ain't parallel.

There's a big gap, no parking space.

Lord, how do we get out this awkward space?

Dinner with a narcissistic race. Get an inmate alive in a half -speed chase.

Just to bring harm to the opposite race. You don't want to hear about it? Got no

option today. We sick and tired of it. And we up in your face. There's no

greater love than a man and an advice for it. Should I guess I'm dying today?

Not shutting my mouth. Got a lot to say. I'm spiraling, not lost in space. Ain't

nothing dark about shedding light on the... The county's state attorney's

has discharged Miles Turner with first -degree murder in what is alleged to be

murder -for -hire case.

38 -year -old grocery store owner and attendant, Julian Stature, father of

was shot and killed two weeks ago near Lexington Avenue as he was closing his

store in their final moments of business.

As of now, there are no motives as to why he was gunned down, but the

authorities have stated that Miles Turner has been taken into custody

he's a prime suspect in this case.

Now, Miles states that he's never met the victim. However, local police chief

believes otherwise.

If you or anyone you know has details involving this case, contact the local

police immediately.

This is your News at 7, Michael Vernon.

Crying, get it popping. No secret like Red Mark could be keeping their heads

popping. No rhythm like hand flow. So call up the head doctor. I don't plan on

stopping anytime soon. That's a bunch of abrupt brain movements. The foolish may

reject it. Conspiracy, they clueless. Induced anesthesia. Sleep to what the

truth. You ain't know.

My flow bite like red nose locked in your head.

Like a nappy throw weight into it like into dreads. Breathe the island. God's

word knotted up in my head. Call it nappy growth. Spiritual cone. Straighten

out about this Christian walk. Exercise the fruits of the spirit but far from a

pump. Now let it bump.

Step wood and drop the heater for the summer. North Carolina reaper ain't got

nothing on me dropping.

Holy ghost lit up. Let God bump and stab me a gallon. A hundred who can match my

turn. I'm crowdy acting like.

It's all in the wrist.

That is correct. And isn't it true that you were the last one to leave the shop

that night of the tragic incident?

Yes, I did.

And didn't you fail to lock the doors? Why would you do that?

I was told to leave the door unlocked.

By who?

It was, uh... Objection! Judge, this is not pertaining to the witness's

statement. Overruled. I believe she's making a point.

Sounds like she's making up a lie.

Ms. Tyler, continue.

Thank you, Your Honor.

As I was saying...

Had Mr. Jenkins locked the door that night, Mr. Thatcher would still be

And his beautiful daughter over there would have a loving father to go home

And his wife would have a husband to share the rest of her life with. And the

scum sitting there by the DA would not have had an innocent victim.

Objection, Your Honor. There's no notable evidence that my client was even

the vicinity of the crime scene. Oh, come on. Do you really believe that your

client didn't have anything to do with the actual murder? Prove it.

Oh, I think your client's already proven that. How?

I'd like to know that as well.

What more is there to prove? Look at him.

He's got it written all over his face.

No one wants to believe that their client committed murder or that they

someone else to do it.

But the fact still remains that he hated Mr. Thatcher's daughter. Objection,

Your Honor.

That's absurd.

My client doesn't even know the shop owner, let alone hate him. He not only

him, but he was Mr. Thatcher's brother.

This is ridiculous. My son is an only child.

Maybe in your house, but not in his father's. Isn't that right, Mr. Turner?

Both of you approach the bench, please.

Are you telling me the defendant is related to the victim?

She's lying, Your Honor.

I am not lying, Your Honor. And I'm not selling the court anything that they

haven't already heard.

Oh, I see.

Due to the new evidence presented in this case, we're going to take a 30

recess.

Court will resume at 2 p .m.

All right,

Michelle, I'm all ears.

Where's this coming from?

I'm a case of hell, if you ask me.

Well, then it won't be too far from home.

Your Honor, yesterday morning at about 9 o 'clock, a woman came into my office,

someone I have never seen before, and she showed me some pictures.

May I help you? Yes, I have something you may be interested in.

Okay, so was she a photographer?

You and your son went to the mall to do a photo shoot.

Big deal.

Okay, Michael, that's enough.

Hey, I'm just trying to make light of the situation.

Well, funny you should try to make light of anything, considering you have some

dark secrets of your own that need to be revealed.

What dark secrets?

Well... We'll save that for a jury on another day.

So, Ms. Tyler, are these pictures you're speaking of, you have evidence of it?

Actually, I do.

Officer, they're taking a long time in there.

I gotta go to the bathroom.

We got a little time.

Let's go.

Okay, what am I looking at? Okay.

So the guy over here on the left, that's Mr.

Thatcher. The guy standing next to him on the right right there, that's his

brother. Wait, wait, wait, wait. What is this?

This is about as blurry as my great -grandmother's eye prescription.

What kind of camera did they use? A water bottle with a hole in it?

Michael, I don't know what kind of camera they used, but what I can tell

that disgrace of a man that you're representing out there knows a heck of a

more about Mr.

Thatcher than he's letting anyone believe. Come on, Judge. This is crazy.

She's showing us pictures of a man. You can't even see his face.

How do we know he killed him?

You see, he's got that gray hoodie. So what? I got a gray hoodie at home in my

closet right now. Does that make me a suspect, too? No.

But that bracelet does. What are you talking about? What bracelet? You see

bracelet that man is wearing?

That gold bracelet right there? Mr.

Thatcher has the same one.

Oh, okay. They got the same taste.

Doesn't make them have the same father.

Well, that's where you're wrong.

So what's the deal with the bracelets?

Mr. Thatcher's father is my uncle. He gave the bracelet secretly to Junior

and his... Twin brother, so they wouldn't forget who they were.

Wait, did you just say Miles has a twin brother?

Yes, exactly.

A twin brother.

Oh, I didn't know that.

But why would he give him the bracelets in secret?

It doesn't take a rocket science to figure all this out.

My uncle was many things, but faithful he was not. I mean, he was busy

his oats from one country to another.

But Junior, he loved Junior. Junior was his special son.

It sounds like he didn't love the other boys, but he only loved them because he

was still in love with their mother.

Okay, wait.

If I wanted to hear some drama right now, I'd be watching Lifetime.

What's the point of all this? Well, I'm going to get there if you'll let me. Oh,

well, go right ahead, Ms. Matlock. Well, thank you.

So far, all that you've told me is that Mr. Thatcher's father is like a lot of

other men out there on these streets.

A dog.

But this dog is no longer biting.

I'm sorry?

My uncle died in his sleep about a month and a half ago. Oh.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

My family is making it the best that we can.

I'm sorry, but I'm a little confused as to what relevance this has to my case.

Well, let me help you out of your confusion.

My uncle was a multi -millionaire.

Let me say that again.

A multi -millionaire.

And he was nobody's fool. He was a politician.

And he knew that if the affair between him and Miles' mother ever got out, it

would not only ruin him, but it would also ruin his career.

That's why it never got out.

Until now.

Not quite.

See, I'm the only one that knows about all of this.

And if anybody else wants any of this information, it's going to cost them a

little something.

Oh,

okay. I see now. Okay, so how much do you need for this story?

How much do I need?

Sweetie, I don't need anything.

You have to remember, you think I'm doing this for money?

I'm doing this for the integrity of my family.

Let me explain something to you. My uncle loved me, and I loved him. I was

favorite niece.

So I'm already in his will. Of course.

But I'm not the only one.

So is Junior.

Oh, that's right.

And Junior has two other brothers.

Of course. How could I forget?

Miles and his twin brother.

Bingo.

And a motive.

Exactly.

Okay, so everybody knows about the one.

They know about the one brother, but they don't know about the other brother.

So if the one brother knocks off the other brother, that means the money's

to go directly to them.

And live happily ever after.

And I'm not going to let that happen.

Why would he do the obvious and risk knocking off his own brother?

Ma 'am, you haven't brushed up on your Bible lately, have you? Well, I could

a little brushing up on that. Have you ever heard of the story Cain and Abel?

Greed, jealousy, and envy, it doesn't know blood.

It doesn't even know family. But I don't understand. Why would you come to me

with this and not go straight to the police?

Let's say my brother is the chief of police.

They have their own dirty laundry.

Plus, I wanted to bring it to someone like you. That would give it justice.

Okay, I've heard all I can take of this.

Well, close your ears.

Well, Ms. Tyler, do you think you have enough evidence to prove this in the

court of law? Well, I thought I just did that.

No, what you did was showed us a picture of a man with no faith who has an

imaginary niece with no taste.

who made up a stupid motive for a lawyer with no case.

Oh, we see that Mr. Michael here can rap.

Ms. Tyler, what I mean is, would this lady testify in front of a grand jury on

the relationship between her uncle and... Your Honor, Judge Knott, we need

in here ASAP.

Just give me one second. I'm taking care of something.

Judge, trust me. You need to be in here now.

What? Come on, man. I need you.

This is my cousin this time, man. This is different.

It's a lot of money on the line.

You know you done messed up, right?

Not only are you going to be charged with the murder of your brother, but you

also killed two innocent civilians that didn't have anything to do with it.

What is wrong with you, man?

Are you some kind of crazed lunatic?

No, actually, let me take that back.

Ran a few tests on you.

And you have no mental issues.

It's just plain and simple.

You're stupid.

So now you put me in a bad predicament.

So not only am I going to throw the book at you, but I'm going to drop the whole

library in your head.

You don't deserve to be in the public.

But much safer with you behind bars.

And I'll make sure you never escape.

I'm going to sentence you to 125 years for each life that you've taken.

So I hope God has mercy on your soul.

Because this judge does not.

It ain't over.

I'm sorry, what was that?

It ain't over.

You're going to have to speak up, Mr. Turner. I said it ain't over, judge.

It ain't over. Can you please remove this man from the courtroom?

Vengeance is mine.

Vengeance is mine.

It ain't over.

It ain't over.

What's the word, brother?

I need to be out of here now.

Good.

Because it's time to make them pay.

Vengeance is mine.

Silence, everybody.

For a second, please.

All right, all right. You know why we're here.

For the man that we all love, care about, and honor.

Myself.

But no, I'm happy for him. He's starting to early retire. I've watched this man

put away some of the realest criminals.

The craziest murderers this world has ever seen.

And after 15 years, he finally decided to call it quits.

And I don't blame him.

You know, he's been in my life forever.

And I respect him.

When my father died, I had no one there.

I had you.

And I love you for that.

Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you, my brother. I love you, too.

Of course, leave it to my brother to act like he's on an episode of Comedy Strip

with all his jokes and everything.

But that's Darnell for you. We got to love him.

Speaking of love, it's definitely in the air. I really appreciate you all.

It's been a long journey, and I'm ready for the next chapter in my life. So what

are you going to do now?

That's the million -dollar question.

I've been putting on that black robe and pounding the hammer for so long, I

don't know what to do with myself.

We can start by getting some rest.

That sounds about right.

But honestly, if I can spend more time with the people in this room, my

retirement will be fulfilled.

I love you all, and I really appreciate you for coming on out and supporting

everything that I've done.

Thank you.

Yeah, but we're here now.

I mean, I can't believe it, though. Can you?

Believe what?

Come on, man. We retiring.

Right now, why you in your bag?

You know how many brothers want to be in your shoes right now? You're looking at

one of them. That's way more to it than that, bro.

What's more to it?

Come on, man. You got that big old house over there.

That fine wife next to you.

You got some money. You better give me that. I have a house. We're fine with

ours right now. See, man, that's your problem.

You're immature.

You act like a little boy. You need to grow up. Have you seen my women? What

talking about? They don't want no little boys. You're talking about grow up.

Hey, man, whatever you need to make yourself believe, whatever it is you

believe, it's fine with me, brother. Trust me. I know you a judge, but don't

judging me.

Everybody wasn't born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

How am I going to have to go to the dollar store and get the plastic?

Come on. I wasn't born with nothing in my mouth.

I had nothing just like you.

But I wanted more, and I worked hard to get it.

Look, nobody's more proud of you than me.

I'm just saying you did it. I don't know how you did it, but you did it.

I made it happen, man.

I appreciate you, my brother, for real.

I hate that you're retiring right now, man.

We need more brothers like you.

And controlling all this wickedness.

It's tough, but I feel like it's something I need to do.

But all this drama and these kidnappings and all this stuff going on, I think I

need to be at home with Teresa and Chloe more.

And she's been on my head about being at home more, so I think this is the

perfect time.

I can respect that.

I understand that.

All love, my brother.

Hey, Chief, it's getting late.

We got an early day tomorrow.

We should probably roll out.

Nice to see you, Judge.

It's good seeing you, too.

I'm glad you didn't judge us, though.

Yeah, I did, sir.

Yeah, I'm so proud of you, my baby.

Daddy!

Hey, baby. You have fun with Grandma?

Yeah.

I thought you two wasn't going to show up.

I almost called child services.

Come on now, Mom. You know I wasn't going to forget about my baby. I wasn't

talking about y 'all leaving her. I was talking about y 'all leaving me.

Now, Mrs. Knott, you know.

Anyway, let me get out of here and out these streets.

Y 'all know it's past my bedtime now, right?

And you know your daddy. I'm going to ask all these questions.

Well, I feel you, Mrs. Knott. We're going to have to get Chloe to bed, too.

Because tomorrow...

One big day.

Baby, please don't tell me you forgot.

Ain't nobody telling me anything.

Yeah, he forgot. Daddy, really?

What?

Baby, why don't you go ahead and get your beauty rest?

Okay? I'll be up later.

And let me get out of here, too, before he forgets I don't live here and have me

cooking breakfast for him every morning.

I'll be careful.

I

cannot

believe you forgot.

I could not forget something that I wasn't told. All I know is we have a

schedule.

On Saturdays, I go to the gym with the fellas to keep this body nice and tight

for you.

And you take Chloe to practice, right?

Right.

But it looks like our plans have changed. We talked about this.

Remember, the boss has me coming in for the regional conference tomorrow.

He never told me that either.

Well, Mr.

Body Lifty, it looks like we have a change of plans.

Well, in other news...

Baby, do you think we made the right decision?

Yes, we did.

I'm just asking.

You know, this whole early retirement thing was really your idea.

I know, baby. It's just because I didn't want to lose you. I mean, you were

taking on all those cases with all those murderers and stuff.

It was scary for us.

I definitely think we made the right decision, baby.

Yeah?

Okay.

Daddy, is that you?

Yes, it's me, baby cakes.

Did I hear Mama say you were taking me to practice tomorrow?

Yes, you did.

Good. I want you to check out what we've been working on. I can't wait to see

it, baby.

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Good night, Daddy.

Good night, baby. I love you. I love you, too.

Uh, excuse me, sir.

Aren't you forgetting something?

No.

Oh, my snack.

No, that's not it.

So what are you talking about?

Oh. Mm -hmm.

Yeah. How could I forget that? Yeah, don't ever forget it again.

I never will, baby.

I'm sorry, baby.

All right, let me go ahead. Chloe out there waiting for me.

Hey, I really appreciate you for stepping in and taking every day. No

We're a team.

Yeah. So anything I can do to make your life easier, I will.

In that case, I'm going to need you later on tonight.

I think I can make that happen. Yeah? Mm -hmm. I promise.

Pinky.

Pinky.

All right, you better.

All right, baby, I love you. I love you more.

Why are you acting all weird like something will happen to us?

I love you, baby.

Have a good day.

What's wrong, Daddy?

Nothing, baby.

Everything will be all right.

Once you run my plate and realize who I am, you'll be good.

Yes, sir, but I got to get to practice.

I know. I know, baby.

I got you. I'll get you there.

Hey, how you doing today, officer?

Do you know how fast you were going, sir?

Yeah, I was definitely going below the speed limit, I think maybe 15 miles an

hour or so. Did you notice you also ran a stop sign back there as well?

No, I must have missed it. My daughter had an issue with her seat belt. License

and registration, please.

Are you serious?

Are you really serious right now? License and registration.

Daddy, can we go?

I'm already running late.

Just give me a minute, okay? We'll be out of here.

Listen, sir, I'm trying to be very nice to you right now, so license.

Please. Oh.

Oh, okay.

I had no idea.

All right. I kind of figured you didn't know who I was. Oh, no, it's not that.

I had no idea you were so young.

You look older than you actually are.

What? Sir, keep your hands where I can see them and step out of the vehicle.

Come on, man, listen.

Daddy, I'm scared.

Everything's going to be all right, baby.

I promise, okay?

All right, now you listen.

Put your hands behind your back.

Please don't put me in handcuffs in front of my baby.

I'm trying to get her to practice. It's got to be some kind of mix -up or

something. Oh, a mix -up, huh? Can we clear this up, man? I know your

supervisor, Darnell.

Oh, you know Darnell, huh? Yeah, man, that's my best friend for over 30 years.

We was in the police academy together.

That's my guy.

Okay.

All right.

Which story better add up?

It will.

Just in case it don't.

Right here.

Don't move.

You okay?

Hey, Chief.

Yeah, I pulled some guy over. He says he knows you.

He looks kind of familiar, but exactly I don't... I don't... Okay.

Okay.

Hey, are you at the station?

You buy a computer? I need you to do me a favor.

Hey, I need you to run somebody for me.

All right.

Thanks, babe.

Looks like your story added up.

As I told you, it would.

Now, please remove these cups so I can go on about my day.

We can act like this never happened.

But unfortunately, it did.

What? Oh, yeah, you're not free to go. You see, Darnell's around the corner on

his break.

He'll be here any second now. We still might have to take you down to the

station. For running a stop sign? Oh, no, no, no, not the stop sign.

Expired plates, expired license. Man, do you even got insurance on this vehicle?

Yes, yes, I have insurance.

I am who I say I am. I'm a public figure.

Well, maybe some things you might want to keep private.

Now, so what's going on, man? I know the usual.

Being racially profiled by the male officer version of Karen here.

You know this man is a retired judge. He's only left my best friend.

Take these cuffs off of him.

I can't do that, sir.

What? That's a direct order, officer.

Not if it's against the law.

Against the law? What are you talking about?

This man here?

He has a warrant for his arrest. What?

I never committed a crime a day in my life. Oh, yeah?

Well, tell it to the judge. I am the judge.

Let me talk to you for a second.

Want to tell me what's really going on here?

I mean, it was a simple traffic stop. The guy asked me to give you a call.

We hung up. I called Manny for backup.

I mean, the guy's got a warrant for his arrest.

Warrant? Yes.

He's a former judge for crying out loud, man.

Bingo. Key word, was.

Now, if you don't mind, Chief, I have a job to do.

But let me talk to him for a minute, all right? Then you can do what you got to

do. Okay, okay, all right. But I know y 'all friends and all that, but I'm by

the book, Chief.

And a war, it's a war.

You want to tell me what's going on with this war, bro?

Man, it's got to be some kind of joke or a mix -up. You've known me since we was

kids. I never break the law.

I know, man. It's got to be a mix -up.

Couldn't even get you to steal three cents worth of candy when we was kids.

But you tried it.

You sure?

Yeah, I did.

Look, man, I got to take you down to the station.

My hands are tied when you got warm.

Look, you'll be in and out in an hour.

You just need to go down there and clear this up and figure out what's going on.

What about Chloe, man? I really need to get her to practice.

You got backup coming.

I'm going to take her to practice.

Trust me, bro.

Just go down there and clear this up.

All right.

Thanks again, bro.

I really appreciate it. Come on, man. You know I always got your back.

I'm sorry to keep you happy.

Let me go ahead and pick Chloe up, man. I hope I can catch you in there at

practice. Man, go ahead, brother.

Give me a call later. All right. Appreciate you, brother. All right.

Forgive me, Lord.

I never knew that life would be so

hard. I cannot do this on my own, Lord.

Give me the wisdom to follow you in your path.

Hey, what's up, baby?

Hey, baby.

How y 'all doing out there? How's Chloe doing?

Y 'all make it okay?

Yeah, you know, we good.

We got into a little situation, but everything's all right now.

What are you talking about?

I got arrested.

Arrested?

Baby, stop playing.

I got arrested.

You're for real?

For real, there's a heart attack.

So I was on my way to take Chloe to practice and I got pulled over.

Dude said I had warrants and all type of other stuff. Man, it was crazy.

A warrant?

Come on, baby, that's ridiculous.

What about Darnell? Was he there? He couldn't pull any strings?

Well, he really couldn't do nothing because they had to go through the

process. Took me down there, fingerprinted me, booked me.

But he was there to get me taken care of.

Right.

Well... If you're alright, I'm alright.

Yeah, I'm good.

Good.

Well, let me speak to my baby.

She's not with me. What do you mean she's not with you? She had practice

now. Darnell had a couple officers take her down there while I was getting

booked at the station.

You know I was going to always find a way to make it happen.

Like you always do.

Yeah.

But I'm about to go head over there and grab her right now, so... Please do.

You know I don't let Chloe out there by herself.

People are crazy these days. Ain't no telling them what they'll do. She'll be

all right, baby. She with the law.

They're going to take care of us.

Yeah, all right.

The law is what got you in the first place.

That hour?

You're right.

You are right about that.

Well, I just made it in, so I'll have a nice hefty lunch prepared for my king

and my princess when you arrive.

Okay, thank you, baby.

I really appreciate you. Of course.

Thank you for being such an awesome husband and father.

And I wouldn't have it no other way.

I love you. I love you more.

Bye.

It was so crazy.

On the top shelf.

Not the bottom like before. On the top.

Okay, I got it.

So girl, yes.

I mean, he just showed up out of nowhere.

Okay, so what did you do after that?

I did what any single black woman would do when the cable man shows up

unannounced. And what's that?

I cooked him dinner. Ha ha ha!

But did you get the cable hookup? Oh, yes.

Wi -Fi included.

My beautiful sisters.

Hey. How y 'all doing today? What's going on, Judge? What are you doing

What do you mean what I'm doing here? I'm here to pick up Chloe.

Where is she at? She's in the back changing clothes?

Um, you're kidding, right?

No, she was dropped off a couple hours ago.

Judge, Chloe isn't here.

I mean, I was wondering if you guys forgot that we had practice today or

something.

What? Judge?

Judge, are you listening? Hey, I'm scared.

Judge? Yeah, I pulled some guy over. He says he knows me.

What about Chloe now? We need to get her to practice.

We got backup coming.

I'm taking her to practice.

Fuck you.

Who are those guys that took Chloe to practice?

I need names, badge numbers, addresses, the whole nine.

They got her. They got my daughter, man. They got my baby, man.

All I know is she was in your custody on her way to practice.

Now she's missing.

I need you to find out what happened.

I'm going to find out myself.

Good job. Well done.

Appreciate it, man. Thank you. I learned from the best, man. Couldn't have done

it without your training.

Yeah, well, that comes with years of experience, my guy.

Where's the girl?

She's in the trunk.

Okay, well, what's she doing in the trunk? Changing her spare tire?

Man, get her out of there.

Where you at?

Going up?

Holy...

What took you so long?

Well, I was getting our paperwork in order for the next couple weeks. We have

island to get to.

Oh, man. Of course. That's right. I forgot. My bad.

How about Mr.

Complete?

Almost.

Thank you. What are you doing here? I thought you were working from the office

today. Yeah, well, I decided to work from home instead.

This don't exactly look like your home.

You didn't tell him.

Um, no, I didn't. I didn't.

Manny, my bad. I forgot to give you the memo. Stacy here?

She's our killer.

Tell her.

Hey, man, you said we was kidnapping a girl. You didn't say nothing about

killing her. I didn't say anything about a girl. What?

How are we going to get rid of you?

Get rid of me.

Say it.

What's up, Chief?

What's up, Marcus?

Hey, Marcus.

I got a question. You seen Towns?

No. As a matter of fact, I haven't.

Not since this morning when we clocked in.

All right. Copy that. Thank you.

All right.

Where are the guys that you had picked up closing?

He asked me to call you.

We hung up.

I called Manny for backup.

Hey, Chief.

What's up, Ange? Are you seeing Towns?

No, I'm just getting here myself.

I thought it was killing me this morning.

What's wrong? Something you ate?

Yeah.

The hubby tried to make dinner. Chicken and mashed potatoes last night.

What's wrong with that?

Oh, nothing.

I just couldn't tell which was which.

Oh, okay.

Besides, you won't be hearing from Towns any time soon.

Why do you say that? I checked the system this morning.

Last night, he put in for a vacation, starting right about...

Now. But he was just here this morning. Right. He had to cover for some time

that he didn't have.

Hmm.

Uh, what's up?

Is everything okay?

Who will be once I get to the bottom of this?

What's up, guys?

Hey, Chief.

What's up, what's up?

Well, I heard that you were looking for me.

Did you know the town's put in for a vacation?

Yeah. That's all we're working on right now. Why?

Oh, hey, I forgot to tell you. Denise came in for dispatch this morning.

Where's Stacy?

She's on vacation, too.

When did you get her?

Two weeks.

How did you know, Chief?

Let's just say I got a good lead on this one.

Oh. Hey, what day is Towns supposed to return?

If I remember correctly, the 8th.

Blue cars.

Towns is a squad guy. They got trackers on them, right? Yeah, all our vehicles

got trackers. Even yours, as a matter of fact.

What were you doing at the club last night at 10 o 'clock?

Minding my business.

Yes, sir.

Look, all jokes aside, can you track those cars ASAP?

Oh, yeah, of course I can. I got it connected to my phone.

We can go right now.

Let's go.

Listen, Dre, the plan is in motion.

I need you to make sure everybody stays on point.

You got that?

Gotcha. Here she is, boss.

Well, well, well.

So this is the pretty little thing that got everybody in such an uproar.

Rico.

Take her to the back.

Make her feel at home. You got it, boss.

Hey, you make sure Rico and Freddy take care of those cops.

Done.

What's going on?

Okay, fine.

Why don't you tell me what you think happened?

I'm still confused.

I don't know why I was put up in the first place. I'm a judge, for crying out

loud. What?

What?

It's time you let that go.

You was a judge. You retired now, remember?

But it's the principle. Yeah, but the law don't see it that way.

See, the minute that you stepped down from that position, took off that robe,

you was announcing to the world that you were finished.

So let me ask you something.

You're a pastor, right? That's right.

Been one for 35 years and still am.

So you put on the robe just like I do?

Come on now, Wiley.

We talking about God's work now.

So you telling me what I did wasn't?

I sat on that bench for years putting down these so -called criminals, only to

be falsely accused by the so -called quote -unquote good guys.

I remember a while back you preached a sermon, Matthew 7.

You remember what you said?

Yeah, of course. Preached that for many years.

Judge not that you be not judged.

For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged.

And with what measure you meet, it shall be measured unto you again.

Keep going.

Yeah.

And why, behold, is the mote that is in thy brother's eye, and consider it not

the beam which is in thine own eye.

And that part, that part right there is why I put the gavel down. I was out here

judging folk, but I wasn't ready for God to judge me.

Well, according to this one, the car should be right by here.

I see the squad, though.

That looks like Manny's ride, right over there.

Where? Right there. Yep. Right there?

Oh, okay, okay. Yeah.

Wally, maybe it's time that you revisit that scripture.

Maybe it's time that you finally get your life in order.

What do you mean by that?

Well, you just said it yourself that you're not ready for God to judge you.

Correct. Just like everybody else.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Everybody else out here ain't like that.

Your mother and I are not.

Ain't nobody perfect.

That's true.

But there was one who was.

The very one who gave us that scripture.

Now look.

I know it's popular right now in this culture.

You judging. Can't nobody judge me. Everybody want to be like Tupac. Only

can judge me. But just like him, we are supposed to judge, but

righteously.

See, what that scripture means when you read the whole thing is that you can't

be out here judging folk and you doing the same thing out here that they doing.

Now look, I am not trying to say.

that the reason why my granddaughter's missing is because of God.

What I'm trying to say is, maybe it's time for you to start looking deep

yourself and consider why this really happened.

I ain't coming for no lecture.

What you talking about, Wiley?

You ain't coming for a lecture. What you come here for?

Hey, Chief.

Got something.

Looks like he's been shot.

Is he breathing?

Yeah. Can't tell how bad he's been hit, though.

He's wearing a vest, right?

Yes, sir.

Good, good.

Look, I got to take this call.

Check his vitals.

Make sure he's okay. That's the most important thing.

Once he wakes up, we'll get to the bottom of this. Yeah.

Hello?

Pops, you still got that equipment from back in your military days?

I might.

Come on, I ain't got time to be playing no guessing game.

My daughter's life is in the line. You think I don't know that?

That's the reason why I said I might in the first place.

Now you look here.

Do you think that I'm just going to let you come into my house, take my weapons,

so you can mark somebody for death, and have their blood on my hands? But they

got my daughter.

And it look like the devil trying to get my son right now.

Son, Wiley, will you listen to me for a second?

There's a better way to handle this, son.

Let the police get involved.

They can handle this much better than you can. Trust me.

They already involved.

Now it's time for me to do things my way.

Oh, so that's what it is.

And that's what it's going to be.

Son.

Son.

Wiley.

You ain't God.

If it ain't your call to bring a life into this world, it sure ain't your call

to take one out.

Yeah, did they drop the package off?

Good, good, that's what I like to hear.

Hey, Manny, wake up.

Wake up, man.

You've been shot.

No, no, everything will be fine, man. As long as we play by the books, we'll be

okay. All that will come later.

Look, everything will be fine.

Okay, I'll see you in a little bit.

All right, bye.

Wake up, dude.

Well, well, well.

Look who's finally up.

You woke up all right.

I was about ready to try to tell about all the dirt that's going on around

Is that right?

Aren't you?

Yeah, but I ain't stupid.

I'm going to need my lawyer first.

You good?

Are you good?

Yeah, he's dead.

I can tell you're a rookie.

Just a little pain from the spot where the vest was hit by the bullet.

Get you some aspirin.

Can we talk about it more?

Yeah, baby boy.

So you sure you're ready to tell us everything?

Like I said, when my lawyer shows up. Look, enough of the small talk.

My best friend's daughter is missing.

And I'm 110 % sure town's got something to do with it. I can tell you ain't so

innocent yourself.

What exactly do you want to know, Chief? Everything.

And we can start off with where town is facing.

I can't tell you that.

Look, them bullets didn't put themselves there.

And I'm 100 % sure one of them did it. So you're better off helping us. I'm not

100 % sure, but we were supposed to drop the girl off at the building on

Thompson.

I know where that's at.

You do?

Yep. It's where I get my coffee in the morning.

Really?

Let's go.

What about Manning here?

Leave him for the coyotes or something.

What? Get him up.

Chloe? Chloe, baby, is that you?

Daddy? Chloe, Chloe, baby.

You okay?

Daddy, I just want to come home.

Okay, baby, I got you.

Where are you?

Hey, man.

Didn't your parents ever teach you not to talk to underage girls?

How much you want?

You think this is about money?

No.

This ain't about money.

What in the world are you talking about?

In due time, my friend.

In due time.

Now, I didn't raise no thief.

And I doggone sure didn't raise you to be no killer.

But you raised a man.

Nah, I look like I done raised a boy.

It's like things young sometimes.

Now you look here, you know how all this started.

So now it's up to you to decide how it's gonna end.

Now I'm gonna let you be the judge.

I gave up that position yesterday.

So Baby,

I thought that was you

Baby? Baby?

Baby, what's wrong?

Hey, baby.

Baby, I'm talking to you. What's going on?

Wait a minute.

Where's Chloe?

Baby, hello. I'm talking to you. Wait a minute.

What are you doing with that?

You're just going to ignore me?

Okay.

I got something for you.

Wiley Nathaniel Knott.

You better start talking and tell me what the heck is going on here and where

our daughter is at.

What? They got her.

They got her? Who got her? What are you talking about?

I don't know all the details, but she called me about 20 minutes ago. Some guy

got on the phone and said if I don't meet his demands, he was going to...

What, Wiley?

Oh, my God.

Calm down, okay?

I promise I got you.

Nobody's going to lay a finger on our baby.

Okay. Well, that'll be the last thing he does.

Okay? Okay.

Hello.

Yeah, I guess you're wondering why I got your daughter.

You can say that?

Yeah, well, there's a lot of things I can say.

But I'm in the presence of a minor, so I won't use that type of language.

So what do you want?

My brother's freedom.

What? What does your brother have to do with me?

You're the one that put him away.

Does the name Miles Turner ring a bell?

Miles... Vengeance is mine!

Miles Turner.

Yeah, you're starting to figure it out.

So unfortunately, I don't have the authority to release individuals

I gave up that power yesterday.

Yeah, well, you better find a way to get him back.

Because if my brother's not released in the next 24 hours...

This little pretty girl of yours?

She gonna be dead in the next 25.

Wait, what?

Hello?

Hello?

Hey, baby girl.

Hey.

What'd they say?

What'd they say, Wiley?

He wants me to get his brother released.

Or... Or?

Or what?

Why are you what?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Baby,

do we have to call the police? No, no, no, we can't. What do you mean, no?

We have to get them involved. I need my baby back. They got something to do with

this.

Yes. What?

Yeah.

Well, what about Darnell?

Have you at least talked to him?

Yeah, I have talked to him. What did he say? He's playing about a book right

now.

So I got to take care of this one on my own, baby.

Well, did you make her on your own?

Really?

I'm coming with you. No, you got to stay here, okay?

Stay here.

So you expect me to just sit here and let you walk out that door by yourself?

What if you don't come back?

Huh?

What if you don't come back, Wiley?

I'm not going to lose you both.

I'm coming.

You coming or not?

I still think this is a bad idea.

We should just call the cops and let them find our baby.

I already told you why we can't do that. All right? Come on, now.

Well, how do we even know where we're going? Where's she at?

I was able to get her location when she called me earlier.

She's about 20 miles east of here. Thank God I changed the status on my phone

last week.

Bye -bye, Miss Officer.

That's Mr.

Idiot. I got the lady right here.

What lady? There's nobody there.

It doesn't matter. They're both gone anyway.

Oh, baby.

What do you think they got in them bags?

They look like some bodies.

Definitely do.

Oh, you think my baby in there?

Oh, no.

Don't say that.

I'm just saying, if you were dead, you wouldn't want anyone to mistake your

identity, would you? I wouldn't really care to be honest with you. Well, I do.

And that was the man.

I don't care. But you know what I do care about?

It's that money we're going to make with that little girl up in there.

Let's get out of here.

Baby, I don't know what to say or what to think.

I don't need you to think anything, okay?

Just know I'm going to take care of this.

Chloe will be all right.

Okay.

Rico, did y 'all get rid of the cops?

Yeah, we took care of them.

Listen, we've been hearing rumors about all this money going around, and I want

in. No, we want in.

First of all, who you think you talking to?

And both of y 'all on salary.

But it's not enough, boss. And my girl just ran out of link card.

We want a raise.

Rico, don't I always take care of you?

You do.

But you don't take care of me. Shut up, Freddie.

Listen.

All you got to do is handle this business.

Once it's done, trust me, we home free.

All right, boss.

Freddie, let's get out of here.

Leave.

Hey, boss.

Now that Freddie's gone, I'm sorry I came at you the way I did.

But why are we doing all this for a little girl?

Rico.

Once this is done, you'll see the big picture.

Trust me.

It's going to all work out.

We all going to be sitting good.

All right, boss.

Hey Rico.

Yeah. Is my girl here yet?

Yeah, I think she's at the door. I'll let her up.

Yeah.

The plan is in motion.

Make it happen.

Relax, bro. As long as cuz handles his business, it should be a cakewalk. Good.

Hi. Sorry to bother you, but do you think that I can use your bathroom?

We're not a convenience store. There's a bush over there.

Yeah,

that's it.

So you've been here before?

No, but we were supposed to meet up here once we got the girl to drop off.

Check it out.

I want everybody to stay in the car.

What? What?

I'm not letting you go in there by yourself.

They might have guns. No, they definitely got guns. Mercy, the biggest

dealer in the city. He got all the protection he needs. Look, this is not

option. This is an order.

Stay in the car.

Make sure nobody pops up on me. Be my lookout.

Besides, he's in no order to go in with us. He ain't gonna do nothing but hold

us back.

Do you got it?

What? Do you got it?

Yes, sir. Yeah, I got it.

Look, I'll call for backup if I need it.

You're gonna need this for backup.

Go handle your business.

You can't wash your hands.

But at least you can do what you got to do.

Go.

Oh, you need toilet paper, right? Well, I can't help you. Goodbye. Can you help

me with this?

You know, cuz, I'm a little disappointed in you.

For what?

Why you didn't tell me to do it, not to judge no more.

How am I supposed to get my brother out now?

Look, I thought I was going to have more time to come back from yesterday.

All right, next thing you know, I look up, I'm at a retirement party.

I could dock your pay. For what?

All I'm supposed to do is get the little girl to you, and I did.

All right, I didn't know he was going to quit.

I just found out like you did. I'm just surprised.

You should have told me as soon as you found out.

Because had you told me, I could have came up with a different plan.

But because you didn't, no.

Baby. Yeah.

Now I gotta come up with a different plan. Because you didn't tell me right

away.

Now I got five more bodies to worry about. Five bodies?

Yeah.

Angela in town.

That's two.

And the three you brought here with you.

What? Yeah.

I had them popped off when you came inside.

You didn't have to do that.

Too much liability.

All those bodies equal witnesses.

I know. But you didn't have to murder them. Calm down, man.

You a cop?

You done took out way more people than me. Yeah, but I got a badge. Yeah, but

it's crooked.

Listen, Cub.

I only got one mission, and that's to get my brother out of jail.

You know why? I do.

But you're doing too much.

All I had to do was get Chloe to you, and I basically put her in your lap. The

plan was executed perfectly.

Perfect plan, perfect execution.

Well, it wasn't perfect enough.

Harley, what you doing here, bro?

I got a better question. What are you doing here?

Look, man, it's not what it look like. Well, it looks like somebody that I call

my brother.

My best friend is up here making deals with the devil. Hey, man, I ain't that

bad. Shut up.

Darnell, I'm so disappointed in you.

Shut up, Torita.

You part of the reason why we in this anyway.

Hey, hey, you need to watch your tongue when you talking to my wife. I don't

care. I don't care if it was your mama.

I've been telling you to check her for years now. Hey, listen here. I ain't

about to check her for nothing.

The only thing I'm checking is commas and zeros, Brody.

You're going to expect her. Hey, man. Hey, when y 'all get through arguing, me

and my cousin, we got business to take care of.

Hey, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable.

Cousin?

Darnell, you know this dude?

Your wife don't know you, huh?

Guess Mr. Bird's not that perfect after all.

But then again, you have been doing this straight and narrow thing for the last

few years.

Baby, what is he talking about?

Yeah, baby.

What am I talking about? Yeah, baby. I want to know. This is getting good.

Shut up, Freddie.

It's a long story.

Everybody want to be like Tupac. Only God can judge me. But just like him, we

are supposed to judge.

See, what that scripture means when you read the whole thing is that you can't

be out here judging folk and you doing the same thing out here that they doing.

What I'm trying to say is maybe it's time for you to start looking deep

yourself and consider why this really happened.

You don't want everybody to know the judge got flaws, too?

Well, the good thing ain't going, too.

I would lock him up.

He would shorten their sentences.

As long as the family came up with the money.

Baby, you been taking bribes?

I've been a lot of things, Teresa.

But I ain't never been no liar.

We had a good thing going, too.

Until you decided to have a change of heart.

Hey, what's up, bro? You got a minute?

Yeah, I need a favor, bro.

I need you to go light on the sentence in today.

What? Come on, man.

I need you.

This is my cousin this time, man. This is different.

So now you put me in a bad predicament.

So not only am I going to throw the book at you, but I'm going to drop the whole

library in your head.

Got a lot of money on the line.

Big bag waiting on us. Thing is, my cousin got to be out free, man.

He got a twin brother, so nobody know about him.

You don't deserve to be in the public.

But much safer with you behind bars.

I can't get the other half of the money unless he's free.

If he gets locked up, his money goes to the state, and the other money from his

brother goes down the drain.

You got a twin. Don't nobody know about him.

Stay out of state.

I'm going to sentence you to 125 years for each life that you've taken.

What?

Man, you're picking the wrong time to do this right now, man.

I know you're trying to get your life together. I understand that.

But right now, you know I need that money, man.

That's the only way I'm going to be able to pay for Pop's surgery.

I don't get this money, he going to die. And you know that. Hey, Mr. Rogers, you

done with story time yet?

Yeah, I'm done.

Now that you lost Chloe, you finally see how I felt about my dad all these

years. So that's what this is about?

Revenge? A little bit.

Most about the money because I need it. I just want my daughter.

And all I want is my brother.

Even trade, right?

No. Baby.

Back up, lady.

Chloe.

Don't you try nothing.

Come on, baby. Come on You okay?

You alright?

Okay, baby.

Go ahead.

What you gonna do, man?

You gonna keep running?

You gonna hide forever?

Huh?

So what you gonna do?

You gonna turn around and shoot him?

Nah.

I'm gonna do you one better.

No.

No, bro.

Put the gun down, all right?

We already know the world better off without me, man. But it's not.

We need you. I need you, man.

You always talk about me being a judge, right?

But are you really ready to meet the real one?

I'm not.

I know you're not.

I still got some things I need to work on myself, right, bro?

So I'll help you, and you help me.

Can you do that for me, brother?

Can you do that for me, darn it?

I'm not so bad at this time, bro. I didn't mean for this to happen. I know,

I love you, man.

Hey!

Let me see your hands, G!

Turn it around slow.

I never knew that life would be so hard.

I can't let you be my own.

In these they can and will be used against you in the court of law.

I want to be in your grace, Lord. No one can save me. Only you can save me,

Lord.

Only you can save me. I want to be in your grace, Lord. Only you can save me,

Lord.

I want to be in your grace, Lord.

No one can save me. Only you can save me, Lord.

Only you can save me, Lord.

I see there's goodness and mercy in you.

I'll never go back to the things of this world. There is no limit to

what you can do with my life, Lord.

Let Him guide you through your storms.

He's the only one who can do it. Let Him fight your battles.

Because I can't do it alone.

Forgive me, Lord. Oh, Lord, forgive me. I want to be in your grace. Oh, no one

can save me. Oh, you can save me. Oh,

Lord,

forgive me. I want to be in your grace.

Forgive me, Lord. Oh, Lord, forgive me. I want to

be in your grace. Oh, no one can save me.

Only you can save me.

Lord, forgive me. I want to be in your grace.

Lord,

forgive me. I want to be in your grace. Lord,

no one can save me. Only you can save me.

Lord,

forgive me. I want to be in your grace.

Thank you.

Oh forgive me, oh love forgive me Oh love forgive me, oh love

forgive me

I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. That's a bunch of abrupt brain
