(SIGHS) You have to forgive Daoud.
139
00:04:52,847 --> 00:04:54,782
All his life, he wanted
to be like his father.
140
00:04:54,849 --> 00:04:56,651
Started rapping
when he was eight years old.
141
00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:59,921
He's been in so much pain ever
since his dad went to prison.
142
00:04:59,987 --> 00:05:01,489
He became hard.
143
00:05:01,556 --> 00:05:03,224
Started running the streets.
144
00:05:03,791 --> 00:05:05,893
Trying to take up the mantle?
145
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,595
My husband's gangsta image
sold a lot of records,
146
00:05:07,662 --> 00:05:08,930
but that's not who he is.
147
00:05:08,996 --> 00:05:10,565
Is that so?
148
00:05:10,590 --> 00:05:11,958
Because from what I read,
even before the murder,
149
00:05:12,066 --> 00:05:14,202
things were getting violent
between the two crews.
150
00:05:14,548 --> 00:05:16,070
Joke is...
151
00:05:16,508 --> 00:05:20,575
whole damn beef started out
as a PR stunt to sell tracks.
152
00:05:20,682 --> 00:05:21,884
It just got so out of hand,
153
00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:24,078
with them trying to be
what they rapped about.
154
00:05:24,145 --> 00:05:27,215
Last year, Dre Bids' gang,
the Shotta Boys,
155
00:05:27,281 --> 00:05:31,219
beat Daoud up so badly
he had to be hospitalized.
156
00:05:31,940 --> 00:05:34,522
My husband's crew wanted revenge, but...
157
00:05:34,589 --> 00:05:37,925
he saw what the music was doing.
158
00:05:37,992 --> 00:05:41,529
He just wanted to be done
with the violence.
159
00:05:42,163 --> 00:05:44,632
That's how I know it wasn't him.
160
00:05:45,204 --> 00:05:46,576
If your husband is innocent,
161
00:05:46,601 --> 00:05:48,603
he confessed for a reason.
162
00:05:48,669 --> 00:05:50,538
He must be covering for something.
163
00:05:50,605 --> 00:05:52,607
I know what you're thinking,
164
00:05:52,673 --> 00:05:54,376
but Nasir was home with me
165
00:05:54,442 --> 00:05:57,111
and Daoud and his boys
were at Club Cypher.
166
00:05:57,178 --> 00:05:58,846
If Greg's covering,
167
00:05:58,913 --> 00:06:00,915
it's for someone else...
168
00:06:00,982 --> 00:06:02,717
This Sid Slay...
169
00:06:02,783 --> 00:06:04,719
And I need to know why.
170
00:06:06,888 --> 00:06:07,989
Your client's right.
171
00:06:08,393 --> 00:06:10,658
Those details about the murder
were never made public.
172
00:06:10,725 --> 00:06:12,727
So how'd they wind up
in that SoundCloud track?
173
00:06:12,793 --> 00:06:14,662
Does it matter? Dilemma confessed.
174
00:06:14,729 --> 00:06:16,264
It matters if he isn't the real killer.
175
00:06:16,330 --> 00:06:19,335
- I thought we were all about the truth.
- You want the truth?
176
00:06:19,402 --> 00:06:21,669
How about the toll their beef
has taken on the community?
177
00:06:21,736 --> 00:06:23,634
How about the ten-year-old girl
who got killed
178
00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:25,139
in the crossfire of a shoot-out

00:12:59,206 --> 00:13:00,293
What I said.
355
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,743
Anything go down that night?
Any conflict?
356
00:13:02,810 --> 00:13:04,578
Nah, we were celebrating.
357
00:13:04,645 --> 00:13:06,447
My man just came home
from a ten-year bid.
358
00:13:06,514 --> 00:13:07,548
It was all love.
359
00:13:07,615 --> 00:13:09,583
What about Daoud Blickman?
360
00:13:09,650 --> 00:13:11,051
Did you see him there that night?
361
00:13:11,118 --> 00:13:12,620
Dilemma's son?
362
00:13:12,926 --> 00:13:14,862
Hell nah, his punk ass wasn't there.
363
00:13:15,222 --> 00:13:17,158
Shotta Boys had the spot on lock.
364
00:13:17,224 --> 00:13:19,527
If Daoud or anybody else repping B-Set
365
00:13:19,593 --> 00:13:20,661
would've showed up that night,
366
00:13:20,728 --> 00:13:23,130
they'd've left in a body bag.
367
00:13:23,764 --> 00:13:27,501
So Daoud lied about where he
was the night of the murder?
368
00:13:27,526 --> 00:13:28,761
You don't think...
369
00:13:28,786 --> 00:13:30,388
He's someone
Dilemma would want to protect.
370
00:13:30,538 --> 00:13:32,039
And the kid's got motive.
371
00:13:32,106 --> 00:13:33,507
You think he's Sid Slay.
372
00:13:33,574 --> 00:13:35,442
It'd explain why the voice is disguised.
373
00:13:35,467 --> 00:13:37,469
But if his father is covering for him,
374
00:13:37,494 --> 00:13:38,829
why would he risk putting it out there?
375
00:13:38,854 --> 00:13:40,656
I mean, what does he have to gain?
376
00:13:40,848 --> 00:13:42,716
I'm on my way to find out now.
377
00:13:42,783 --> 00:13:44,785
How's it going analyzing that track?
378
00:13:44,852 --> 00:13:46,787
Mm, nothing yet.
379
00:13:46,854 --> 00:13:48,055
But you know how they say
380
00:13:48,122 --> 00:13:49,723
married people shouldn't work together
381
00:13:49,748 --> 00:13:51,583
if they want to stay married?
382
00:13:51,608 --> 00:13:53,510
Yeah, we have, uh...
383
00:13:54,147 --> 00:13:56,783
...made a few adjustments.
384
00:13:56,964 --> 00:13:58,872
You look nervous. You want to stop?
385
00:13:58,938 --> 00:14:00,990
Just don't get caught.
386
00:14:02,736 --> 00:14:04,839
- DELILAH: (GIGGLES) No. Stop. No.
- CAMERON: Uh-uh. (LAUGHS)
387
00:14:04,905 --> 00:14:07,208
No. No. Stop. No. (CHUCKLES)
388
00:14:07,274 --> 00:14:08,809
Do it again. You'll live to regret it.
389
00:14:08,876 --> 00:14:09,944
Oh, so you want to throw hands, huh?
390
00:14:10,010 --> 00:14:12,012
Yeah, I do. (CHUCKLES) Oh.
391
00:14:12,079 --> 00:14:13,747
(CHUCKLING)
392
00:14:13,814 --> 00:14:14,849
Hey.
393
00:14:15,132 --> 00:14:16,217
You're back.
394
00:14:16,283 --> 00:14:18,619
Aunt Vi, you're... here.
395
00:14:18,644 --> 00:14:20,879
Yes. I got back early.
396
00:14:20,904 --> 00:14:22,005
Who's your friend?
397
00:14:22,156 --> 00:14:23,557
Um...
398
00:14:24,191 --> 00:14:25,747
Aunt Vi, this is Cameron.
399
00:14:25,813 --> 00:14:28,519
But he has to get home, so...
400
00:14:28,585 --> 00:14:30,531
Oh, nonsense. Cameron...
401
00:14:31,098 --> 00:14:32,233
...why don't you come on in for a bit.
402
00:14:32,299 --> 00:14:33,767
I just ordered a pizza.
403
00:14:33,834 --> 00:14:37,538
A'ight. Yeah, that sounds cool. Thanks.
404
00:14:41,906 --> 00:14:43,544
So...
405
00:14:43,611 --> 00:14:45,679
you go to Dee's school?
406
00:14:45,746 --> 00:14:47,748
Nah, to Jefferson. In the Bronx.
407
00:14:47,815 --> 00:14:49,516
So then how'd you two meet?
408
00:14:49,541 --> 00:14:50,576
Uh, through Tiffany.
409
00:14:50,601 --> 00:14:52,170
- Yeah, she's my cousin.
- Oh.
410
00:14:52,195 --> 00:14:53,830
That's nice.
411
00:14:53,855 --> 00:14:56,049
So, are you a sophomore, too?
412
00:14:56,323 --> 00:14:57,825
Junior, actually.
413
00:14:57,892 --> 00:15:00,160
So you must be starting
to think about colleges.
414
00:15:00,185 --> 00:15:01,553
Oh, nah.
415
00:15:01,578 --> 00:15:03,446
Not going to college.
416
00:15:04,098 --> 00:15:05,266
(GULPS) Really?
417
00:15:05,332 --> 00:15:06,723
And why is that?
418
00:15:06,748 --> 00:15:09,051
Well, I just believe it's
not worth going into debt for.
419
00:15:09,336 --> 00:15:11,071
I got other plans.
420
00:15:11,138 --> 00:15:12,106
Oh, I see.
421
00:15:12,172 --> 00:15:14,241
You're a... you're a pragmatist.
422
00:15:14,308 --> 00:15:15,876
(CHUCKLES)
423
00:15:15,901 --> 00:15:18,837
Well, college is a luxury
that most of us can't afford.
424
00:15:18,946 --> 00:15:21,015
And that's why people
in my position, we...
425
00:15:21,081 --> 00:15:22,983
we create other options for ourselves.
426
00:15:23,050 --> 00:15:25,920
You know, Cameron,
I'm all for options, but...
427
00:15:25,986 --> 00:15:28,022
I think a degree can be very helpful,
428
00:15:28,088 --> 00:15:31,091
especially for those of us
who aren't starting out on a...
429
00:15:31,116 --> 00:15:32,784
on a level playing field.
430
00:15:32,893 --> 00:15:35,629
Well, Cameron's a straight A student.
431
00:15:35,696 --> 00:15:37,831
I mean, it doesn't take money
to be smart.
432
00:15:38,465 --> 00:15:39,934
Growing up in the hood, it never stopped
433
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,303
my parents from exposing me
to everything,
434
00:15:42,369 --> 00:15:44,571
from politics to poetry.
435
00:15:44,638 --> 00:15:46,307
And those high tuitions,
436
00:15:46,373 --> 00:15:47,741
they're there for a reason.
437
00:15:47,766 --> 00:15:49,568
It's to keep people like me away.
438
00:15:49,677 --> 00:15:51,912
So why should I go broke
for the privilege
439
00:15:51,979 --> 00:15:54,270

Hey, yo,
449
00:16:16,403 --> 00:16:17,871
let me get a minute.
450
00:16:17,938 --> 00:16:19,540
- All right, dude.
- Mm-hmm.
451
00:16:25,412 --> 00:16:27,815
(DOOR CLOSES)
452
00:16:28,282 --> 00:16:29,750
Look,
453
00:16:29,817 --> 00:16:32,353
all due respect,
whatever you think you need,
454
00:16:32,419 --> 00:16:34,088
my moms is wasting her time.
455
00:16:34,154 --> 00:16:35,189
Is that right?
456
00:16:35,255 --> 00:16:37,624
Why did you tell your mom
you were at Club Cypher
457
00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:39,339
the night Dre Bids was killed?
458
00:16:39,607 --> 00:16:40,995
Because I was.
459
00:16:41,061 --> 00:16:41,962
Really?
460
00:16:41,987 --> 00:16:44,195
So how was the Shotta Boys
homecoming party?
461
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:47,701
You know what I think?
462
00:16:47,726 --> 00:16:49,861
After Shottas jumped you,
you wanted some payback.
463
00:16:49,970 --> 00:16:51,739
But Gangsta Jr. got sloppy,
464
00:16:51,764 --> 00:16:53,205
and Daddy had to come
clean up after him.
465
00:16:53,229 --> 00:16:54,149
It ain't like that.
466
00:16:54,174 --> 00:16:56,176
Got some other reason
you'd lie to your mom?
467
00:16:57,044 --> 00:16:59,380
All right, you want to know where I was?
468
00:16:59,446 --> 00:17:00,814
I was here, recording.
469
00:17:00,881 --> 00:17:02,049
Now, you can check the booking records.
470
00:17:02,116 --> 00:17:03,650
Well, why would you lie about that?
471
00:17:03,717 --> 00:17:05,085
Because my pops would've flipped.
472
00:17:05,152 --> 00:17:06,787
With all the heat
between B-Set and Shotta Boys,
473
00:17:06,854 --> 00:17:08,422
he told me I couldn't record anymore.
474
00:17:08,989 --> 00:17:11,158
Because you were making diss tracks.
475
00:17:11,225 --> 00:17:12,960
Like the one you're making right now.
476
00:17:12,985 --> 00:17:15,184
Said with the crews warring,
it was too dangerous.
477
00:17:15,796 --> 00:17:17,603
When I found out what he did for me,
478
00:17:18,165 --> 00:17:20,398
I didn't want to disrespect him
on top of it.
479
00:17:20,901 --> 00:17:23,003
After the Shotta Boys messed me up,
480
00:17:23,070 --> 00:17:24,569
when I woke up in the hospital,
481
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,989
my pops was there,
482
00:17:28,375 --> 00:17:29,740
crying.
483
00:17:30,744 --> 00:17:32,910
I ain't never seen him like that.
484
00:17:34,982 --> 00:17:36,664
He said it was his fault.
485
00:17:37,484 --> 00:17:39,250
He swore to put an end to it.
486
00:17:40,087 --> 00:17:42,423
Two weeks later, Dre Bids was dead.
487
00:17:43,296 --> 00:17:45,893
My pops is in jail
because I got caught slippin'.
488
00:17:45,959 --> 00:17:47,327
He's in jail because of me.
489
00:17:47,394 --> 00:17:48,829
Did he tell you that?
490
00:17:48,854 --> 00:17:50,188
Nah, but I know.
491
00:17:50,297 --> 00:17:51,331
You sure?
492
00:17:51,398 --> 00:17:53,167
Because gunning down Dre Bids
493
00:17:53,233 --> 00:17:55,969
in front of his own
recording studio... Why?
494
00:17:56,036 --> 00:17:58,005
The whole thing, it just sounds...
495
00:17:58,072 --> 00:17:59,273
clumsy.
496
00:17:59,729 --> 00:18:02,776
I think your father is hiding something.
497
00:18:02,843 --> 00:18:04,609
From all of us.
498
00:18:04,978 --> 00:18:08,248
And this Sid Slay has
something to do with it.
499
00:18:10,317 --> 00:18:11,985
I got to get back to it.
500
00:18:12,052 --> 00:18:13,320
Yo, Terry!
501
00:18:13,387 --> 00:18:15,122
TERRY: Sup?
502
00:18:19,059 --> 00:18:20,360
ROBYN: Hey, Dante. Got something?
503
00:18:20,427 --> 00:18:21,929
You could say that.
504
00:18:21,995 --> 00:18:23,897
I was looking at witness statements.
505
00:18:23,964 --> 00:18:26,100
The night Dre Bids was shot,
there was a janitor
506
00:18:26,125 --> 00:18:28,491
working at the recording studio
earlier that night.
507
00:18:28,516 --> 00:18:29,720
He witness the shooting?
508
00:18:29,870 --> 00:18:31,205
He left before it happened,
509
00:18:31,271 --> 00:18:33,207
but I just re-interviewed him.
510
00:18:33,273 --> 00:18:36,343
He says Dilemma wasn't
the only one there that night.
511
00:18:36,368 --> 00:18:37,836
As the janitor was leaving,
512
00:18:37,861 --> 00:18:39,796
someone else was heading
into the studio,
513
00:18:39,821 --> 00:18:42,056
only ten minutes
before Dre Bids' murder.
514
00:18:42,249 --> 00:18:43,383
He recognize 'em?
515
00:18:43,450 --> 00:18:45,352
He ID'd Jacob Styles,
516
00:18:45,377 --> 00:18:46,778
head of Trigger Beat Records.
517
00:18:46,803 --> 00:18:47,897
Label mogul.
518
00:18:47,922 --> 00:18:49,964
Trigger Beat? That's Dilemma's label.
519
00:18:50,157 --> 00:18:51,492
If Styles was there that night,
520
00:18:51,558 --> 00:18:53,093
how come we're just finding out?
521
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,329
When I leaned on him,
he got nervous, confessed.
522
00:18:55,395 --> 00:18:58,098
Someone paid him 25 Gs
not to mention it.
523
00:18:58,165 --> 00:19:00,400
Now, why would someone do that?
524
00:19:01,001 --> 00:19:02,970
MEL: Is risking arrest and hiding
525
00:19:03,036 --> 00:19:04,905
in the dark like a cockroach
really better
526
00:19:04,972 --> 00:19:06,907
than patiently telling me what to do?
527
00:19:06,974 --> 00:19:08,876
Yes. A hundred times yes.
528
00:19:08,942 --> 00:19:11,044
Just don't let anybody see me.
529
00:19:11,111 --> 00:19:13,413
(SIGHS) I feel like a 12-year-old
sneaking a cigarette.
530
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,049
- (PHONE RINGS)
- With a life sentence if I'm caught.
531
00:19:16,305 --> 00:19:17,573

Hey.
534
00:19:20,512 --> 00:19:22,981
Hey, were you able to access
Jacob Styles' financial records?
535
00:19:23,006 --> 00:19:25,108
The answer's yes,
in spite of the subpar Wi-Fi
536
00:19:25,133 --> 00:19:26,026
in this gin joint.
537

- Sorry.
540
00:19:29,630 --> 00:19:31,965
- That's all right.
- So, um, yes,
541

this guy Styles,
he likes to drop a lot of quiche
542
00:19:34,001 --> 00:19:36,069
in fancy restaurants, uh, strip joints.
543
00:19:36,136 --> 00:19:38,405
So, nothing unusual
for a record label exec.
544
00:19:38,430 --> 00:19:39,931
What about the 25 K?
545
00:19:39,956 --> 00:19:41,791
Pretty sure it came from Styles.
546
00:19:41,942 --> 00:19:43,076
He took out that much cash
547
00:19:43,143 --> 00:19:44,344
right before the janitor got his bribe.
548
00:19:44,411 --> 00:19:46,079
But, listen, I-I'm onto something else.
549
00:19:46,104 --> 00:19:48,940
Styles has been receiving
regular money transfers
550
00:19:49,049 --> 00:19:51,285
from an account belonging to Dilemma.
551
00:19:51,310 --> 00:19:52,245
That's not unusual.
552
00:19:52,352 --> 00:19:54,521
Some artists have to pay back
record labels
553
00:19:54,546 --> 00:19:56,014
for advances on their projects.
554
00:19:56,039 --> 00:19:58,029
Yeah, but this is going
to Styles' personal account,
555
00:19:58,054 --> 00:19:59,063
not the label's.
556
00:19:59,088 --> 00:20:01,061
And it began ten months ago,
557
00:20:01,128 --> 00:20:02,462
right after Dilemma got locked up.
558
00:20:02,529 --> 00:20:05,365
So, payments to a guy
who was secretly there
559
00:20:05,432 --> 00:20:06,564
at the scene of the murder?
560
00:20:06,589 --> 00:20:08,560
- Now, that is unusual.
- Right?

Right-handed, but he shot with his left

you definitely should.

But I had nothing to do
with the shooting.

I went there to try to talk
some sense into Dilemma.

He and Dre Bids were supposed
to record a track that night.

Dre Bids and Dilemma, together?

It was a peace track. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

The beef was messing with his family.
635
00:23:07,088 --> 00:23:09,690
He and Dre Bids had come to a truce.
636
00:23:09,715 --> 00:23:11,884
But he wasn't thinking right.

00:23:12,093 --> 00:23:14,418

645
00:23:25,531 --> 00:23:27,099
It was career suicide.

And why let some senseless
killings here and there

00:23:29,285 --> 00:23:31,087
stop you from making a buck?

650
00:23:37,410 --> 00:23:39,078

653
00:23:42,088 --> 00:23:43,690
He ran down to see what was happening...

00:23:43,715 --> 00:23:46,351
And you? You got the hell
out of there, didn't you?

your image sullied,
656
00:23:48,988 --> 00:23:50,056
so you paid to keep your name out of it.

00:23:50,164 --> 00:23:52,790
You knew Dilemma was innocent,
658
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,749
and you still let him go down for it?
659
00:23:54,774 --> 00:23:55,971
He insisted.
660
00:23:55,996 --> 00:23:57,936
Why would he take the fall
for something he didn't do?
661
00:23:58,065 --> 00:24:00,601
I asked. He said
it was none of my concern.
662
00:24:00,626 --> 00:24:03,262
And he's been paying you to keep
your mouth shut ever since.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) That's business.
664
00:24:05,826 --> 00:24:08,629

him going away cost me?

laid down a few verses

About a month ago,
728
00:26:16,856 --> 00:26:18,758
I was in Washington Square Park.
729
00:26:18,783 --> 00:26:20,018
Crews meet there to battle,

738
00:26:33,728 --> 00:26:35,619

What you got, Harry?
891
00:32:31,076 --> 00:32:32,378
Info on that warning text.
892
00:32:32,485 --> 00:32:34,054
Why do you sound
like you're in a tunnel?
893
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,422
Don't ask. Listen,
894
00:32:35,488 --> 00:32:37,324
the texts came
from a burner phone, okay?
895
00:32:37,390 --> 00:32:38,525
It was only active for a month,
896
00:32:38,592 --> 00:32:40,160
but I was able to pull the records.
897
00:32:40,227 --> 00:32:43,129
And, look, a similar text
was sent to Dre Bids that night.
898
00:32:43,695 --> 00:32:47,000
Someone was playing these two
against each other.
899
00:32:47,067 --> 00:32:48,568
And because it was a burner phone,
900
00:32:48,593 --> 00:32:50,361
we have no way of finding out
who sent the texts.
901
00:32:50,470 --> 00:32:52,405
Normally, yeah.
But the same phone was used
902
00:32:52,472 --> 00:32:53,907
to text and call a slew of others.
903
00:32:53,974 --> 00:32:55,175
All young women... A couple connected
904
00:32:55,242 --> 00:32:56,409
to Dre Bids' crew.
905
00:32:56,476 --> 00:32:57,724
A side piece burner.
906
00:32:57,790 --> 00:32:58,845
Oh, yeah.
907
00:32:58,870 --> 00:33:00,605
But there was one woman who was, uh,
908
00:33:00,714 --> 00:33:02,415
a little different from the others.
909
00:33:02,482 --> 00:33:04,184
A Mrs. Gladys Marshall.
910
00:33:04,919 --> 00:33:09,022
Marshall?
As in Cordell "Brawlah" Marshall?
911
00:33:09,089 --> 00:33:12,158
Uh-huh. The genius used a burner
to call his mom.
912
00:33:12,225 --> 00:33:14,954
I mean, there's definitely
something Freudian about all this.
913
00:33:15,063 --> 00:33:17,597
So if Brawlah sent those texts,
914
00:33:17,664 --> 00:33:19,032
then he must've known
915
00:33:19,099 --> 00:33:22,168
that Dilemma and Dre Bids
were gonna meet.
916
00:33:22,235 --> 00:33:24,027
He knew about the truce.
917
00:33:25,138 --> 00:33:27,307

But I guess you know that,
929
00:33:50,263 --> 00:33:51,998
since you sent
your little motorcycle guy
930
00:33:52,065 --> 00:33:52,999
to gun me down.

00:33:53,066 --> 00:33:54,467

You can drop the act.
934
00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:01,274
I know you sent texts
to Dilemma and Dre Bids
935
00:34:01,341 --> 00:34:02,442
the night of the murder,
936
00:34:02,509 --> 00:34:04,110
setting them against each other.
937
00:34:04,177 --> 00:34:05,412
And why would I do that?
938
00:34:05,478 --> 00:34:07,580
Peace is a problem
if your brand is beef.
939
00:34:07,946 --> 00:34:10,250
It would've been the end of your career.
940
00:34:10,317 --> 00:34:11,551
You wanted gunfire that night.
941
00:34:11,618 --> 00:34:13,186
You needed to keep it going.
942
00:34:13,253 --> 00:34:16,423
But when you saw Dre Bids
on the ground, wounded,
943
00:34:16,489 --> 00:34:17,657
you got scared.
944
00:34:17,998 --> 00:34:19,559
I mean, if he survived,
945
00:34:19,626 --> 00:34:21,494
he might ask questions.
946
00:34:21,561 --> 00:34:23,163
But if he died...
947
00:34:23,997 --> 00:34:26,566
...then look who inherits his kingdom.
948
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,270
Everybody knows
that Dilemma killed Dre Bids.
949
00:34:30,337 --> 00:34:31,371
He confessed.
950
00:34:31,803 --> 00:34:33,273
True.
951
00:34:33,340 --> 00:34:35,975
But, thanks to me,
952
00:34:36,042 --> 00:34:38,810
the gun just got retested for DNA.
953
00:34:39,379 --> 00:34:41,648
And it came back with three matches.
954
00:34:41,715 --> 00:34:43,516
One was Dilemma's.
955
00:34:43,583 --> 00:34:45,118
One was his son's. And...
956
00:34:47,053 --> 00:34:51,114
...I'm sure if they were
to run saliva on this blunt...
957
00:34:52,282 --> 00:34:54,761
...the third would match yours.

959
00:35:00,500 --> 00:35:01,701

Doesn't matter if you dead.
961
00:35:04,669 --> 00:35:06,272
One of 'em had to go.
962
00:35:06,339 --> 00:35:08,778
Even if you had to shoot
Dre Bids yourself.
963
00:35:08,845 --> 00:35:10,243
Damn straight.
964
00:35:10,310 --> 00:35:13,313
I'm supposed to fall off
'cause they went soft?
965
00:35:13,380 --> 00:35:14,647

- Put the gun down.

How he shot Dre Bids twice
but there was a third bullet.
977
00:35:44,042 --> 00:35:45,703
You were first on the scene.

but guess I don't need to anymore.

00:35:50,582 --> 00:35:51,670

to spend 25 years in prison
990

to keep your brother from this life.
991
00:36:10,109 --> 00:36:12,445
Doesn't that mean something to you?
992
00:36:12,612 --> 00:36:14,614
You think he would go through all that
993
00:36:14,848 --> 00:36:16,816
just for you to switch places with him?

Well, the truth is, this track
would still be locked away

- It's a nightmare.

Look, I know not being able to be seen
1090
00:40:17,490 --> 00:40:19,559
using a computer is not ideal.
1091
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:20,994
- It's more like impossible.
- Untenable.

00:40:21,060 --> 00:40:22,829
- It's harrowing.
- Bad for our relationship.

00:40:24,030 --> 00:40:26,465
it was really nice to be

What you need is your own spot.

Away from prying eyes.
1097
00:40:30,203 --> 00:40:32,105
Yeah. Because the city is full of those.
1098
00:40:32,455 --> 00:40:35,708
I may have managed to find
a place you can use.

Seriously? Are you...
1100
00:40:38,244 --> 00:40:41,047
are you taunting me?
Because d-don't taunt me.
1101
00:40:41,172 --> 00:40:42,799
I'm not taunting.
1102
00:40:43,516 --> 00:40:46,920
It's an area of condemned subway tunnel.
1103
00:40:48,621 --> 00:40:49,956

Me? Oh, no.

I had nothing to do with it.
1110

All evidence of it

cannot and will not
ever be traced back to me.

To their knowledge, this whole place

- No.

We're gonna have
to replace a few things.

1125
00:41:35,568 --> 00:41:37,904
we could be completely invisible.

The only difference is, now,
1127
00:41:40,206 --> 00:41:42,008
you can leave.
1128
00:41:44,978 --> 00:41:47,647
