Original subtitles

We grew like brothers,

having every experience togetheruntil we moved away for college.

And some say our bond was toxic,

but I think of it as loyalty.

We got to always have each other's back,

no matter what.

Let's make a pact right now.

Imma always at your back Gordon.

- We can't be here right now. - Let me go. Stop, please.

- Let me go. No, no. - Dude we got to go.

--we got to go right now.

What the hell did you do?

What did you do?

I just wantedto say that I am guilty,

I want to apologize to the family

for the young lady,

to my own family for my irresponsible acts.

I am ready to accept whatever punishment

the courts may have reserved for me.

Hm...look here boy.

You,

you're old enough to know exactly what you were doing.

And if you were just one year older,

hm,

I'd throw everything,

including the kitchen sink at you,

and your lawyer knows it.

Look at me!

There is no waythat there will ever be

any fitting justice for this young lady! Ever!

Ever!

So Mr. Charlie Westbrook...

As it pertains to the first count of aggravated assault

with intention to cause bodily harm,

I hereby sentence you

to 45 days juvenile detention and 2 year probation.

Look at me!

As it pertains to the second count of sexual assault,

I hereby sentence you to 60 days juvenile detention

with an additional3 year probation period.

Both sentences are to be served consecutively.

Ask your lawyerwhat that means.

Court is adjourned.

I think you put too much on.

Mom, please relax,

I'm not going to cake makeup on you.

Why are in such a mood today?

Just have a lot of my mind.

You are definitely in a mood.

I just don't understand what the rush is.

That's a valid perspective,

but different strokes for different folks.

No disrespect mom, but um,

it's not intended for you to understand.

Can you be happy for Morgan, please?

She has to marry him, not you.

You're the closest family member her.

She's just not useto being this far away.

She needs your support.

If you ask me, it should be you and Chris being married.

It's been almost 3 years now.

What are y'all waiting for?

We're dressed!

Look at my baby!

Ooh, absolutely gorgeous!

Auntie..Krys.

I love ya'll.

Mama, you ready to do this veil?

Yes, I'm ready.

- And mama's veil.- Y'all make some noise

as we present to y'all for the first time

as husband and wife.

Morgan and Charlie Westbrook.

Nice ceremony.

Thank you for coming.

No, it's not done.

I'll show you tomorrow when I get o--.

It's open.

It's about time to go on and get dressed.

People gone start arriving in about an hour.

Ok.

Does your mother know

that you talk to boys on facetime?

It's aight to have secrets.

I won't say anything.

Alright, alright.

Got some more franks coming right up.

Um yeah, but what's up with this chicken.

What do you mean what's up?

I mean it's a lil extra crispy, right?

That's how it's suppose to be.

Um, I need a crispy hotdog

and then we canchange the conversation.

- Well done. - She likes hers well done.

Hi! I brought a gift for the occasion.

Is this Casey's baby shower?

No ma'am, I'm sorry it's not.

- I'm so sorry. I must --. - It's ok.

Well look, look we got plenty of food,

if you'd like to grab a bite.

I thank you, but I have to get to Casey.

Thank you so much.

Ok.

And she just walked in the house.

- I don't know. - Who left the do--?

I didn't leave the door open.

Did you leave the door open?

Cause I didn't leave it open.

Alright now Auntie Sherry, here you go.

Oh yes. Yes, here you go Auntie,

I'm sorry.

Get that extra crispy hotdog.

Hey, hey, that's what I like.

Should've left that gift!

Alright, let's eat.

Let's eat, let's eat, let's eat.

Let's pray.

Hello?

So you're stalking me now?

Don't forget.

We had an agreement.

But why are you here?

You don't even live here?!

I just want what's mine.

You're crazy!

Send me a picture of those lips.

Or how about I send you what I want from Uber eats

and you can get it for me.

After I get the picture of my lips.

Hold on a second baby.

Aunt Sherry keeps calling me back to back. Hold on.

Hey Aunt Sherry everything ok?

There is a bad accident.I'm in bumper to bumper traffic.

- Can you call Lauren's co--. - Ok, you know what.

Don't even worry about Aunt Sherry;

I can get her.

No. You just started your joband have that probation period.

It's fine Aunt Sherry.I, I didn't take a lunch today,

I work it in. I'll get her, it's fine. Thank you.

Keep me posted.

I will, and thank you. I love you.

Thank you Aunt Sherry.

Bye.

I'm literally 10 minutes away. I can get Lauren.

It's ok baby, I can work it in.

You wouldn't make it in time.

And Sherry is in traffic. It just makes more sense.

Looook babe, Lauren's like a daughter to me.

I hate that you feel uncomfortable asking me that.

You know that, right?

It's just everything's still so new.

Relax. I got her.

Ok.

Bye.

Hey, I didn't know you were coming to pick me up!

Me neither.But, I'm glad to though.

Can we go get something to eat?

So, I was thinking we could order some take out.

Make it a movie night.

What you think about that?

- Ok. - That's cool?

Ahhh, let's go.

Hey, go take a shower and get ready for bed kiddo.

Okay.

Are you looking for Lauren?

Yeah.

I'll send someone to go get her.

She didn't quite seem like herself today.

You don't like it?

You want lemonade or water?

Lauren!

Yes ma'am?

Water or Lemonade?

Lemonade please.

It's open.

Auntie, ooooh.

Looks so good! Smells good.

Let me fix you a plate to go.

No, no. Charlie cooked dinner for us tonight.

I don't know what her problem is today.

What's? Lauren!

Can I stay here tonight please?

What happened?

Did Charlie touch you?!!

- Aunt Sherry -- - Did he touch you?!

Lauren!

Did Charlie touch you?

I'm sorry sweetie.

Sorry sweetheart.

I'm so sorry.

Did Charlie touch your --

Let's just go home.

Alright, let's go home.

We don't ever have to stay here, stay over there anymore.

We can just go get our stuff,

and then we'll come back to Aunt Sherry's

and talk about it later.

You need me to come with you?

No, no, no.

No. I don't want to cause a scene.

Come on, let's go, let's go.

Long day huh?

I made dinner.

Its plenty left for you and Lauren.

I placed a few bids on jobs today.

Have to fly out next week to meet with an architect

whose interested in partnering

with contractors on a new subdivision.

It's a 3 year contract.

Yep. It's been a very long day.

I'm going to head to bed.

You psycho piece of shit!"

Wipe that smug look off your face!

There's nothing funny about this situation.

Hey!!! I don't mind domestic disputes, but not in here!

- Where's my money Charlie. - Hey, I said, outside!

Look man, I make minimum wage.

I'm not looking for no trouble at all.

Y'all take your time, just... don't yell. Please.

Thank you sir.

I don't owe you anything Paula.

I not the one who... who touched you.

You were there.

You held me down while he raped me. Just as guilty

And I served my time.

You served two months!

Which could have beena 10 year if I had been honest.

So you really sleep at night

knowing that you promised to pay me

if I kept quiet, decades ago?

Knowing that I have been traumatized

and unable to sexually perform in two of my failed marriages?

You really sleep at night?

Look Paula, we were teenagers. Babies.

I never touched you.

I only took the fall for him

because he would have been tried as an adult

because of his age.

I still qualified for juvenile court.

It's just the way it played out.

I'm sorry.

- You ruined my life. - No, you ruined your life!

Look Paula, find something better to do with your time.

Move on!

I'm gonna ruin you!

Screw you!

You wanna come havea coffee with me Morgan?

Don't be surprised. I know who you are.

You drove here at your own will, yes?

Do you know Charlie?

Yea, I know Charlie. He's... my husband?

That's not my question, is it?

Do you know him?

It''s ok.

You don''t haveto answer the question,

but I can see you're suspicious,

so here''s what you should reckon with.

Do you trust your instincts?

Excuse me,

I'd like to file a restraining order against my husband.

Ok, I can help you with that.

Alright, fill that out, mail it in to us

within 3 to 7 business days.

Somebody will contact you to schedule a court date.

You said 3 to 7 business, business days?

Yeah.

Hey, I need you to check out a phone call for me.

Now?

That would be best.

A young lady just called into the stations,

worried about her mother, may be missing.

Wants us to go check it out.

Her cousin's missing too.

Has it been 24 hours?

No, but we have a tip from an independence source

that there's physical evidence, so we need to investigate.

Ok, if we followed every tip, we would't be efficient here.

Come on, you know these things.

Yes, I do.

But we need to doour due diligence here.

Yes, I need you to do me a favor.

Can you do a house check on a Sherry Brooks.

Mhm. She is 5'9.

No, I'm sorry, Brooks,

Bravo Romeo, Oscar, Oscar, Kilo, Sierra.

Right. That's perfect.

Mhm..The address is 379 Eucaliptus Dr.

Perfect!

Thank you, and listen.

Well, I've been reviewing these missing persons case,

and it's awkward.

Awk, awkward, that means nothing.

Ok,

why wouldn't the daughter go back and check for herself?

If I remember,she's in another state.

Ah that. That's not an important detail at all!

Be a competent cop, unlike that idiot.

How does someone getshot in broad day light

and my one and only witness

I mean, it's smack dab in the middle of the street,

in the middle of the goddamn day!

- Officer. You don't understand. - Did your mom do this to you?

Officer, excuse me, you don't under...

Officer, you havethe wrong, wrong, idea.

I'mma need y'allboth to step out

Ma'am. Now!!

Officer!

You have the wrong idea.

- I understand. - It's no--

Do you have anything in your pockets

that you need, that I need to beware of?

- No. - Alright.

Can you turn around andput your hands behind your back.

I told you it's not me.

You have the wrong id--.

- I'm telling you it's him. - I understand. I...

Do you haveanything in your pockets

that I need to know about?

- No. No, no, no. - Anything at all?

Alright, I need for youto turn around and place

- your hands behind your back. - Are you kidding me?

No ma'am, I'm serious.

Please turn around.

Anything in your pockets?

- No. - Please turn around.

Put your hands on the vehicle.

- Ok. - Jens, need back up?

No, no, no.

Nah, it's just a domestic dispute of some sort.

- It's ok baby. - It's not a big deal.

Should process them pretty quick.

What was the original reason for the stop?

So, I was headed east bound on 78.

She blew past me straight through a stop sign.

Looks voluntarily to me.

Voluntarily.

Interesting.

This is crazy.

Hey Jens, what do you say,I take this loser off your hands

and then you handle the ladies huh?

Hmmmm, I mean I'll take care of it.

It's not that big of a deal.

No worries.

It's a shame!

Oh my God, oh my God. Oh my God.

- Please. - Ma'am turn around.

Please, please, please, please.

- Turn around!! - Ok, ok, ok.

Have a seat.

Head.

Ha ha. What a surprise.

- Come out. - Alright.

I'm so sorry Aunt Sherry.

- It's getting messy. - I know.

- Lauren! Lauren! Lauren- Hey! Where you going?

Come mere.

Come mere.

Get back here! Get back.

Help!

Calm down. Stop!

Calm down!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Stop!

What the f ---?

Good morning!

Morgan.

Get me out of this damn chair, right now!

Well, I'm all done!

Do you hear that?

The water's already ready.

Thank you for your help.

- On to the next one? - Um huh.

- Get me out of this chair!- I'll call you when it's done.

- Ok. - Ok.

Bye.

I swear to God Morgan.

Untie me!

Untie me.

Where's Lauren?

She's safe.

- Morgan, burning me isn't go--. - Shhhhhhhh!

Git ---.

Charlie have you heard of a Tom?

Thomas Corbett?

I know, I didn't think so.

No worries, I'll tell you!

So, Thomas Corbett he was a Union Army soldier

who shot and killed John Booth.

Now, initially he was arrested but then he was released

because the Secretary of War thought he was hero.

I mean, after all, John Boothwas Abraham Lincoln's assassin.

So murder for Corbett was ok because Booth was despicable.

Do you agree with that double standard in the law, Charlie?

I mean, it's true, if you avenge the weak

by eliminating the oppressor,

in some cases, it's called Imperfect Self-Defense?

It's actually a legal thing.

It's a legal thing.

See, the law's too complicated for me.

I know. Sorry. I'm sorry

We got a schedule here.

- What schedule you-- - Shhhh,

I'm not finished telling my story!

So, the interesting thing about Tom

was that he became very righteous, right.

But he also loved prostitutes.

Go figure.

So, in order for him to remain clean and, and untainted.

Holy as he said,

undistracted,

he castrated himself.

I swear to God Morgan!

Untie me.

So as a man, he stepped up to the plate,

realized that he had a problem,

and did something about it!

Now, I don't expect the same level of--.

Oh Charlie.

You're not paying attention.

The water getting cold.

Are you ready?

It's going to be good.

It's gonna be good for you.

It's gonna be good for everyone involved.

I'll be right back. Trust me. Trust me.

Morgan!

What--

Just get me out of here!

Shhhhhhh.

Oh Charlie bear.

Untie me now!

Don't yell at me.

Don't ever yell at me like that.

Don't yell at me Charlie.

Just breath.

Understand?

Just breath.

No, no, no.

Breath.

Alright.

Here we go.

Oh yes.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Don't worry, baby.

it's not as painful as giving birth!

911, what's your emergency?
