� Come on, now.

You know the minute you let

they take over.

How come he can't walk it off
just like any other

� Because that walk never ends.

� Hell,

He's gonna do some things.

It's about him doing

It's raw and it's powerful.

People are really
paying attention.

KEEF:
Yeah.

Apparently,
Officer Wyatt agrees with you.

� Mm.
Good news on that front.

So I spoke with the reps
at the SFPD,

and the department feels
just as blindsided by Wyatt
as you do,

and they want nothing more
than to make this whole thing
go away.

� Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, thank you.

I knew you were

Thank you very much.

Why did you bury the lede,

from you, first, though.

Okay.

� So they want you to sit down
with the officer and have

a frank discussion about
police�community relations.

� Actually, yeah.
They did mention beer.

Plus the press.

They also want
a social media presence
at the Brighton Sports Bar.

� Wait, hold up, hold up.
Let me just rewind
for a second.

Wanna make sure
I'm hearing you correctly.

In order to squash this,

they want me to have
a beer summit with the guy,

like, Obama with the professor
and the cop?

� So you say your piece.
He says his.
What's the harm in that?

KEEF:
I mean, it's bullshit.

They're using me
so they can make it seem like
they're doing something.

� And if you turn them down,
you spend the next three years
in court.

You're finally back on track.

hanging over your head.

You're a smart guy, Keef.

Make the smart choice.

[slow bassy music]

� Yeah, you know,
I don't know, dude.

� Okay, what's the worst
that could happen?

all over the walls.

� That's your concern?

� Yes.

� My main concern
is that you're letting SFPD

have their way with you
in a public forum.

� Man, I say do it, man.

Dude, you go in there,
you smile your smile,
you sip your beer,

drop a couple smoke pellets,

Secondly, where's he gonna
get smoke pellets?

They're very hard to find.

She want the D.

� Stop it.
She's my lawyer, okay?

She gave me advice.
Good advice.

� How good was the advice?
� You know what?

I think you should do it.

Make them think
they're using you,

and then you take that platform
and you hijack it

and you say everything
you've ever wanted to say about
community�police relations.

You make them squirm.
