God, grant me the serenity

to accept the things
that I cannot change...

Nah, man. Back off.
I'm about to be there.

Yo, she's not feeling you
like that, dude.

The courage to change
the things that I can...

Nah, it's Stephon.
You know what I'm saying?

Just tell her I said I'm coming,

and everything's
gonna be all good.

And the wisdom to know
the difference.

I'm gonna return Ben's dish.

And he said
he'll take me to school.

He said he'd take me
the rest of the week

so you could rest, okay?

Okay.

Mom.

You should take this. Wear it.

No. No, no, Justin.

You don't have to do that.
Mnh-mnh.

I promise it will help.
Justin, no.

You go to school. It's okay.

It's okay.

Please, help me.

And before you eat
another piece of cake,

open your brother's gift.

Mmm.

Nice wrapping, Justin.

Cool, right? Mm-hmm.

Well, you did use
a lot of tape, dude.

A new watch?

What do I need with a new...

it's real nice.

It's real shiny.
Mom helped pick it out.

It's kind of
from the both of us.

Okay, I get it.

I was late again,
so a new watch.

That's not it. Open my gift.

Okay.

No. Good looking out, ma.

Look again. Look again.

Oh, man!

Ooh!

Come on! The city got new ones,

so I got a really good one
second-hand.

Stop playing. Come on, now.

Oh, man. This is great.

It has a little camera, too.

So when you go off to college,
Mom will get us another computer

so we can see you
and talk to you.

I thought you might like it.

And we could put it right here.

Here?

Mm-hmm.

I thought you got it
just for me.

I did get it for you.

Yeah, but it's like
I got to sign for it

before I can use it
or something.

Dude, come on now.

All I'm saying is
I'm a man now.

I feel good.

Well...

Not exactly good, I guess.

I ran into this old picture
of Charles

in the back of a drawer.

It felt good, the memory,
instead of painful.

He's a cutie.

If you want the truth,
that is one sweet face.

So I feel like
I'm getting there.

I'm getting to accept
God's will.

Oh, and I brought y'all some of
my lemon squares for the break.

They were his favorite.

Thank you, Patrice.

Go ahead, girl.

So, we're mothers.

Our maternal instinct
is to protect our child.

And when the worst happens,

when that child is murdered,

we feel guilt, depression,

we feel we failed.

We lose our homes, our minds,
and sometimes our lives.

So get a sponsor.

Find someone
that you can talk to,

get out, get a hobby,

get to acceptance somehow

so that you can get on
to living, right?

Now, I think I see a new face.

I'm Lila Walcott. I'm... here.

I work for the city.

I was a clerk in public records.

I w...

now I'm on leave.

My son Stephon was m...

Step back,
please, ma'am. Ma'am?

My... I need you...

It's all right.
You don't have to say it.

You take your time.

Stephon?
Stephon, are you with us?

Can you hear me?

Stephon!

I'm not gonna say that word.

You shouldn't say it.
It's okay.

I hear y'all, but, um...
Stephon is dead, and I...

I want to...

You want him back.

Finish, Lila. You want... what?

To thank y'all for inviting me.

You're welcome.

Did you get a hobby yet?

Your son's dead,
and they tell you

to start collecting stamps
or something.

Well, they're just trying
to help.

Yeah, it's funny
how everyone wants to help

when there's nothing
they can do.

I keep getting cards, you know?

First from the detective
and the reverend.

Just got another one in there.

Maybe that could be your hobby,
collecting cards.

Or getting advice.

Oh, yeah.

I had this interior-design job.

And my boss said to me,
real nice,

"you can have another kid."

I think I heard that one.

"Well, at least you have
another son."

Like I had one to spare.

Telling you, man.

Talk is meaningless.

Tell me about yours.

Then I'd be talking.

You know,
they said to get a sponsor,

someone to talk to,
and, uh, if you're interested...

In being yours?

That's... that's sweet,
but not smart.

This is... this whole thing
is not my scene.

Just being here makes me feel
fucking useless.

Well, wait a minute.
Maybe give it a chance.

I really feel like
I can talk to you.

Here's my number,

but it's not me
you should be calling.

Well, I've called the police,
but... what about you?

Did they find the person...
They barely even looked.

My little girl,
she wasn't real to them.

So you know how it is.

We think about her all the time,
but nobody else does.

They don't think about us.

Hell, they don't even see us.

I'll keep on it.
I'll keep calling.

Yeah. Good luck with that.

Ma'am?

You know what? I've had a seat.
Now I've had enough.

I've been waiting for an hour.

Is detective Holliston
even here?

Ma'am, I paged him.

Would you like
to leave a message?

Detective Holliston!

Can I help you?

I called about my son's case,

and no one got back to me,
so I thought I'd come down.

Uh, wh-wh-what case
is it again?

Y-you don't...
you don't remember me?

Sure, I do.

It's just I've got
a lot to keep track of.

Tell me again.

Ms. Walcott. Yeah.

You're here for an update.
If you wouldn't mind.

Uh, we canvassed the neighborhood,
but, sorry to say, nothing yet.

We're just gonna
have to keep looking

till we get
the break we need, ma'am.

My son was just walking
down the street.

I have another son.
What am I supposed to do?

If it were me, I'd move.

Ms. Walcott.
Ms. Walcott, listen.

There's more. Just, uh...

can I speak to you
for a minute?

Here's what we know.
We attained a lot.

Uh, essentially, every corner
is a piece of property.

And every piece of property
has a landlord.

You work the corner,
you pay rent.

We see it a lot.

This guy ray,
he was freelancing.

They warned him,
they didn't warn him,

we don't know.

What we do know is
that somebody driving by

in a black s.u.v. took him out.

Who did? Who... who are they?

Nobody will tell us anything.

We see it a lot, too.

We need evidence.

One lead, one name.

Without that... you'll
forget all about it.

So, I went to the police.

And they don't know anything,

and they're not trying
to know anything.

I can't stop thinking about it,
you know?

I mean, this is something
that goes way past

any kind of pain I ever felt
or experienced.

I can't eat. I can't sleep.

I just...

I want to...

We all know what you want.
Mm-hmm.

You want to hold him again.

Yeah. You want your son back.

That's right.

You want the ones responsible.

You want peace.

You want to hear his voice.

You want a good night's sleep.

You want them to know
how it feels.

I mean, we all live here, right?
And we shut it out somehow.

But I can't anymore.

Can you?

God, grant me the serenity

to accept the things
that I cannot change,

the courage to change
the things that I can,

and the wisdom to know
the difference.

Wisdom to know the difference.

Age doesn't make a man,
Stephon.

Well, you treat me like
I'm 8 years old.

A... a real man keeps his word

and he is where
he's supposed to be

when he's supposed to be.

That's what I know.

Fine.

I'll call next time
if you want.

I do want.

Because I know
you don't want me

to go out there
looking for you.

Like that would ever happen.

Yeah.

Yeah, and wipe your mouth,
Jay-z.

Wipe all the cake
off your mouth.

Jay-z.

Thank you.

Thanks, ma.

♪ After this time ♪

♪ I feel you ♪

Here I am,
reporting for sponsor duty.

Thanks for coming.

Uh-huh.

I mean it.

Just came to see
if you're okay.

Yeah. no.

I-I don't know what I am.

Well, it's like
a hospital in here.

Mm.

You need to cheer this place up
with some color, strength.

Like Tina Turner strength.

Although that sister did put up
with some serious bullshit.

Mm. You seen Ike?

Girl,
he's a little, skinny man.

Like Somalia skinny.

I mean, the first time
he raised his hand,

she should have
just broke him in two.

Used them legs on him.

So, you went to see the police?

Mm-hmm.

Feel better?

I feel... forgotten.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Well, I'll give you a tip.

Stop cleaning.

Oh, well, that goes back
to when I was a little girl

and I would hear
my folks fighting.

I'd straighten up and clean

as a way
of making things better,

feeling in control.

You know what they said?
Get a hobby.

Why don't you fix the place up?

Shit, give it a facelift.

You know, I used to be
an interior decorator.

I could help you.

I don't know.

I'm going back to work next week
part time.

I don't know if I want
to be spending money

fixing this place up.
Oh, please.

It won't cost nothing
to pull up this nasty-ass carpet

and burn it with the trash.

It was here when I moved in.
I never much liked it, but...

Let's pull it up.

You know, sometimes,
they got some real nice

hardwood floor underneath here.

Right here in the corner.

I don't know why Justin
keeps his bookbag...

See? It's already peeling up
here in the corner.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

You know, maybe he was...
maybe he was scared.

Maybe he was angry.

Maybe he just wanted
to protect you.

Why... why would...

why... why would he do...
do something like that?

What is he supposed to do?

His big brother gets killed,

and the guys who did it,
they're still out there.

Well, I can't do anything
about that.

But what if you could?

Would you?

Of course I would.
Who wouldn't?

You know, with my little girl,
it was just like you.

They told me I couldn't
do anything, to wait.

So I waited.

And nothing happened.

Come on.

What?

Trust me.

Justin's asleep in his bed.
He's safe.

Let's go for a ride.
I want to show you something.

It's over there, right?

That's where Stephon was...

And they got another dealer
out there just like that.

He's got to be working
for somebody.

Denzel's on the trail
of a kidnapper in this one.

I got my own movie to go to.

Who are these friends?

You met them before.

There's some I haven't met.

Oh, and you're never
gonna meet those.

Yeah.

They'd call this house
day and night

when you were in eighth grade.

Hi.
Can I please speak to Stephon?

So, what's up with you
and that neighbor Ben, huh?

The plumber man.

All right. All righty.

These friends
you're meeting tonight,

is any of them
your regular girl?

Nah. They all know
who my regular girl is.

Oh, please.
I'm not falling for that one.

That's just so whack.

Whack? You...

Whack. Please don't
start using my words.

All right. Have fun.
What time is it?

Please. I'm 18. Come on.

I don't care if your 18.
11:00, please, Stephon.

Peace, just.

See you, Stephon.

All right.

You, me, and Denzel, baby.

Yeah. Like always.

Detective said he needs a name.

Let's get one.

"Let's get one"? Let's go home.

No.

At the meeting, you started
to say what you wanted.

I just want justice
for the ones who took my son.

So let's get it.

I just can't go over there
and ask.

It's a street. It's crowded.

You know what?

Everyone goes home sometime.

That's him.

Hey. The twins ain't here.

I got the food.
I'm coming home.

What makes you think
he'll tell us anything?

No. No. What if someone...

We can't! We won't.

Not unless we have to.

If I want to eat my french fries
on the way home, I'm gonna.

No. What are you gonna do?

I guess I'll get my Tina on.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Yo, yo.

Don't come up on nobody
like that.

Just got a question.

I know you?

No, but you know Ray.

What's it to you if I do?

What you want from me, huh?

A name.

The corner that you work,
there was a drive-by last month.

Someone's responsible.
That name.

Look. Get the fuck out my face.

I want a name!

Is this a joke?

I want a name!

Give me that name right now
or I swear I'm gonna shoot...

Oh!

What did you do?

What was I supposed to do?

You saw. He came right at me.

He's somebody's child.

He tried to kill us!

Come on. Let's go.

Go!

All we wanted was a name.

But we did get one, didn't we?

Donelle Peete.

I mean, it's not the right name,
but it's a lead.

And his phone.

His phone's gonna have
more names.

We can leave a tip
for that detective.

He'll know my voice.

He didn't know your face.

He won't know your voice.

Look. I know
you're freaked out right now.

But I know you feel lighter.

Stephon.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Don't leave me yet.

You hear me?
You don't leave me yet.

You don't leave your mama yet.

Okay?

Now wake up.

You wake up, Stephon.

You hear me?

You hear me?

Breathe.

Wallet's gone, watch isn't.

Rolex.

The shooter left a Rolex?

The dummy also left
a pocketful of pills

containing
a felonious substance.

Felonious?

I catch you with that
big-word dictionary again,

I'm gonna beat you to death
with it.

Where the hell's forensics?

You know the drill.
It's the ghetto.

That means they get here
when they feel like it.

Can't blame them.
It's a simple atm case.

Insert gun, pop, pop, pop,
extract cash.

He took a cellphone
and left the drugs?

And no shell casings anywhere.

Got to be a revolver.
No, I got it.

It's the conductor
of the symphony orchestra,

and he hid the casings
in his opera cape.

Smartass.

Columbo got it done.

Yeah, Columbo's old as shit.

No. That's what
he wants you to think.

So while you're busy
making fun of him,

he's solving the crime.

No, no, no.

I-I get the whole theme of it,

but I'll be the first one
to tell you,

the shit don't hold up.

Saw it on TV Land last night.

Lots of, uh,
guys in plaid jackets

and wide-ass ties.

Is that what you do
when you're not on the job?

TV Land?

Don't act like you don't know.

You know the married life.

Like a broken record.
Where the hell's forensics?

I'm headed out to school.

I know you're angry
about your brother.

And I am, too.

But, Justin, you will not ever
put your hand on a gun.

You hear me?

I hear you. But...

I want your word.

It's like I told Stephon,
a man keeps his word.

You got it. But I don't
know... just go.

And bring home lots of books
in your backpack

because other than school,

you won't be leaving home
for awhile.

Got to stay calm.

What about the cash?

I don't want to have
anything to do with it.

Me neither.

Maybe slip it in the
donation box at the meetings.

I guess we shouldn't waste it.

You don't have to worry.

There was nothing
in the papers.

They're not looking for us,
Lila.

But the gun, it's still...

I told you.

I'm gonna take care
of everything.

I got it.

Did you see
who that call was from?

It was a text.

What did it say?

It said, "We said J.J.'s."

Usual time. Saturday. Leo."

Well, that's from
whoever he works for.

So, if we go this Saturday at
the same time Donelle was there,

we might find
the one who killed Stephon.

Mm. Off.

Shit.

You have a moment, ma'am?

Sorry. Do you have company?

Uh, I just haven't picked up.

Come on in.

Doing some work
on the house, huh?

Yeah. "Get a hobby," they said.

Assholes.

Look. I won't keep you long.

I-I just need to take a look
in Stephon's room.

Standard procedure.

Oh, come on.
It's right in there.

Right here. Okay. Okay.

Like I said, I usually
pick up better than this.

Eh, it's okay.
I was a teenager once.

Albeit, a long time ago.

Mm.

Can I get you
something to drink? Coffee?

No, thanks. I'm fine.

Well, I have something
on the stove.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

Thank you, ma'am.

You know, I... I saw he liked
to play Splinter Cell.

I play that with my nephew
sometimes.

I just got it for him.

He never had a chance
to play it.

All right.

Well, we'll be in touch if
there are any developments.

What were you looking for?

You... said it was about
the corner and the rent?

Well, there's certain
evidence-gathering protocol.

Like I said, procedure.

That's it?

You didn't come here to
investigate anything for real?

You're just here to check off
a box by his name?

No, ma'am.

I treat every case they give me
the same.

That's why I follow
the same protocol.

Make sure nothing important
gets missed.

Next time, call first.

Don't just show up
to a person's house.

I like that. "Call first."

You got potential.

Let's get to work.

♪ You can walk

That's something
I always wanted to do, but...

I don't need
more than one guess.

First, I got pregnant.
Then he wanted to marry me.

And by the time
Stephon rolled around,

he didn't even know my name.

Home design didn't even matter
after that.

You know what I mean?

Same type of thing
happened to me.

Except the first time he told me
he didn't want my baby,

I told him to go fuck himself,

wasn't his anyway,

then I went and had a pizza.

Hey, Ben.

You feeling all right?

Mm-hmm.

Justin said
this would be a good time

to come for my chairs.

Hungry? We got plenty.

Are you sure?
I've seen you eat.

Is it okay?

Uh, yeah. It's fine.
I'll fix you a plate.

All right, then.

Justin, how you doing?

I've got an art project
to work on.

What? You just gonna leave?

Oh, all right.

Boy. Mm-mm-mmm.

This looks good,
if I do say so.

Well, I didn't make it.

Um... oh.

This is one of your dishes.

My mother taught me this.

Since it's just me,

I don't usually want
to make a whole pot.

Well, it's very nice of you.

I haven't felt much
like cooking, so...

Mm, well, it looks like

you've been pretty busy
working hard on this house.

Just let me know
if you need a hand.

I can manage just fine.

I didn't mean anything, Lila.

I'm sorry.
My nerves are just shot.

I just...

I'm gonna go back to group
tomorrow.

I don't know what else to do.

I don't know why
things are like they are,

why people do what they do.

All I know is,
is you'll find your way.

Till then, remember to eat.

I'm gonna cut this...

and give you
a piece of this to eat.

There.

You got to eat.

Mm. See?

Feel better?

Mm-hmm. Uh-huh.

Guess we finally had that dinner
I've been nagging you about.

Mm-hmm.

I kept asking 'cause...
Maybe I shouldn't say.

No, no. No, go ahead.

I kept asking 'cause
Stephon told me to.

He said your thing with Denzel,
it wasn't gonna last.

Oh.

Thanks for that.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

And for helping with Justin,
for everything, 'cause...

I work out in the yard a lot.
They're kind of rough.

No, they're not.

Okay. Well, you take care.

Okay.

See you soon.

Hey, Lila. Can I ask you something?
Mm-hmm.

Now, did you find a sponsor?

Oh, Patrice said
she was interested.

But I have someone.
Eve. That's okay.

Look. Um, hey, Patrice?

Lila just wanted to let you know
that she found...

hey, I'm sorry.
I can't talk right now.

I got to get home and get
to making my lemon squares.

What's your hurry, Patrice?

Charles is coming home.

He was coming home earlier,
but you know how boys are.

Out there with his friends.

So, I got to get home,
and I got to get ready.

Well, did you stop taking
your medicine?

Yeah. I didn't need it anymore.

I found the answer.

I found it
right here in the bible.

Who raised up his only son
in three days?

That's what got me.

'Cause if he could raise up
his son,

he could raise up mine.

So, that's when I started
to pray.

And I knew
my prayer would be answered.

Three days, three years. Mm-hmm.

I got to let the others know.

Charles is coming home.

Charles was, uh, at a barbecue,

and he was trying
to break up a fight,

and he got killed

three years ago today.

Birthdays, anniversaries,
they're the worst.

Oh, I'm good today.

Patrice, do you think
you can stay for the meeting?

No. You know what?

This has happened to her
before?

Not just her.
No, we all have our bad times.

So we look in on each other,

we, um, we stay over
if we have to.

So I'm gonna make sure
that she gets home tonight.

And tomorrow,
I will take her...

If I lost it,
would I even know it?

Am I gonna end up just like her?

If you stay inside

and you keep it all in
like her,

it festers.

You got to do something
about your feelings.

I try to sleep, but...

My mind keeps going back
to that corner every time.

You been thinking about this?

I never stop thinking
about it...

About that damn diner
and who he was gonna see there.

I want to see him,

see if he's the one
that took my son.

It's Saturday.

In two hours,
it's the usual time.

I think you have to go.

It wouldn't just be for me.

I need it
just as much as you do.

Then maybe
we can help each other.

I guess this is a stakeout.

What do cops do
during stakeouts?

Sleep.

Hmm.

In the movies, they talk
about their families.

Is that my cue?

My boyfriend's name is Mello.

He comes
from the land of JELL-O.

♪ With pickles for his toes
and a cherry for his nose ♪

♪ And that's the way
my story goes ♪

♪ My boyfriend's name is Billy ♪

♪ He come from good, old Philly
with a cherry on his nose ♪

♪ And 10 big, fat toes, ♪

♪ And that's the way
my story goes ♪

♪ I gave him back his peaches ♪

♪ I gave him back his pears ♪

♪ I gave him back his 50 cents ♪

♪ And kicked him
down the stairs ♪

So, your mom taught you that,
too, huh?

Yeah. Mm.

Your little girl
used to do that?

Yeah.

I never told anyone,

but I always wanted
a little girl.

Well, there they are.

Think they killed anybody?

I think they killed Stephon.

We don't know that.

You know how I feel.

We just talk to them.

Now, last time...
last time, you messed up.

That's what I was gonna say,
okay?

Last time, I messed up.

So, this time, it's all you.

If you want to go, we'll go.

If you want to talk to them,
we'll talk to them.

If we get a name for that cop,

I'll... I'll leave the tip.

But it's all you.

I'm going home.

You think they're going home?

Yeah! Hey, bro.

I'm whupping the shit out
this motherfucking game, dawg.

Ain't nobody fucking with me.

I'm about to get the last cherry
and shit.

Hey, I know
he been talking to you, boy.

Shit. I'm the greatest, cuz.

Got to level 180 on candy crush.

Beat that shit.

I only see one of them.

Maybe the other one's
in the car.

Better call Saul, bitch.
Get the fuck over there.

Hey, bro, I told you
we was being followed.

Look at this shit.

All right, bro.

What you want, a scooby snack
or some shit, man?

Bro, I'm just saying.

You always trying to act like

I'm not paying attention
and shit.

Bah! Call it correct.

We saw you at the diner.

Saw you following us and shit.

You have fun?

What the fuck do you want, man?

I want to know who did the
drive-by on one of your corners.

Oh, you do, huh?

Is that all?

I mean, that's why you came
all the way down here for?

Nah. Nah, you see?

There's something
you ain't telling me.

You know something about
who shot Donelle, bitch?

Who's Donelle to you?!

Answer the motherfucking
question.

You first.

Yo, yo.

What the fuck
is wrong with you, bro?

Sorry.

The greek party was so sick,
son.

I had to make another run.
Who we got here?

We got a fucking procedure,
Bradley.

I told you don't be rolling up
all quick like that.

All right, chill, man.
Why you always sweating me, man?

All the business I bring you.

Dude, I bring you
all the campus green, son.

You keep plenty for yourself.

Oh, shit!

No, no, no, no! Aah!

Give it to me. Let's go.

No! No! Let's ask. Let's ask.

You got it. But hurry.

Tell us what we want to know,

and your brother gets a doctor.

Fuck you.
Get him one right now.

Donelle's corner.
The drive-by. That name.

Was it you, or was it him?
Don't say, shit, man.

Better say something or you're
gonna hear his last breath.

It's a sound
you never stop hearing.

Fuck! All right!

It was Alonzo T.

He runs the south side
for Handro and them.

Teo!

Fucking bitch.

Come on. We got to go
if we're gonna make it.

Let's go!

You know,
maybe you found the serenity

to accept the things
you cannot change,

and maybe you gained the courage
to change the things you can.

But finding the wisdom
to know the difference

is the real challenge

because the grief of your loss
can be so debilitating,

it can cloud your judgment.

And that goes
for the Olsen twins.

Ashley here has no wallet,
no cash, no cellphone.

Unlike Mary-Kate, here.

And what should we call
the one down here?

Humpty Dumpty? Opie?

I'm gonna ask for overtime.

If they're gonna task us
and keep sending us out,

I mean, that's unfair.

They didn't send us.

I heard it was a revolver.
Something about it.

I called in and asked for it.

I knew it. I knew it.

What are you doing?
You volunteering us now?

That's not procedure.

Since when have you stopped
following procedure?

Revolver again,
no cellphone again.

Kid have any drugs on him? Yeah.

Enough to make it
the best fucking prom ever.

So what?

Ballistics comes back,

it's gonna be the same shooter
as Donelle.

We're gonna be ready.

They won't give a shit
upstairs.

Our task force
is not gonna get another task

for these motherfuckers.

A series of related shootings.

They're gonna give a shit.

Yeah. Of course they will.

Somebody just killed Opie.

Justin?

Yeah?

Justin?

I'm in the bedroom.

What do you...
what do you think you're doing?

I cleared out his stuff.

Where... where is everything?

In the attic.

Who said you could do this?

This is my room. And I can't...

no. No. This is my house.

All right?

So you bring it all back now.

Now! No!

I can't look at his stuff
every day!

I'm sick of it!
He is not coming back, mom!

He's...

Lila, I'll send him home
if you want.

But he wants to stay
on my couch.

All right, um, tell him...

Tell him all right,
and tell him I'm sorry.

Here I am,
hurting over memories,

and he's having to look at it
every night.

Look... don't blame
yourself too much.

It was like he was trying to put
his brother away for good.

No. Unh-unh. no.

He kept Stephon's watch
as a reminder.

You ever keep anything?

Of course.

I kept some clothes,
some pictures.

And on my phone, I... I
know what you're gonna say.

I know what you're gonna say
'cause I do the same thing.

I even paid the bill
so I could.

Yo, it's Stephon.
You know what to do.

Hear how
he's trying to be cool?

Yo, it's Stephon.

You know what to do.

It sounds to me like

he's trying
to tell us something.

We already have a name.

Exactly.

And I know to find him.

Look what they did!

You don't think
I know who you are?

You think you can just show up
like no one would know?

We said no reporters.

Oh. I'm not a reporter.

Then who are you?

I'm from a grief support group
for mothers.

And, um...

I just wanted
to leave a card, just in case.

Oh.

Thank you.

The family wanted
to send along a thank-you card,

and he didn't leave an address.

So we decided
to call the florist.

Alonzo, yes.

Business address is fine.

Promiseland Atlanta?

What's that?

Oh, a night club.

Okay.

We're going to a night club.

Ugh. It's been so long.

I almost forgot how to do this.

You're stepping out.

Might as well
step out in style.

What do you think?

You look good!

Almost as good as me.
Almost is good enough

'cause I don't want to look
like no hoochie.

Oh! Really? It's like that?

Your hair looks good.

You like it? Really?

Mm-hmm.

Chopped it myself.

Used to be down to my ass,
but...

After my girl passed,
I just took a scissor to it.

Now I kind of like it.

Looks good.

All right.

Let's take a picture. Okay.

All right. Ready?

Mm-hmm.

Oh!

That's a good one.

Okay. Do another one.

Okay, okay. Different pose.

Hold on. Okay.

How do we know
if Alonzo's even here?

We don't.

You got Teo's phone?

Um...

Alonzo isn't on here.

But there's a Zo.

Yo.

Who's calling me
on Teo's phone?

Hello?

That song.

You're in my club.

The fuck?

♪ Hey, hey ♪

♪ No, no ♪

looks like They're leaving.

No. No, not tonight.

Look at her.

Lila, don't worry.

I got this covered.

Trust me.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Mm, god. How far along are you?

Oh, six months.

Six months?

You know what I remember about
being six months pregnant?

I wanted it all the time.

My hormones are jumping.

Oh, nope. Don't Bend.

Do not Bend.
We got you covered.

There you go.

Did you ever
go out to dinner...

I know what you're gonna say.

Before I even opened the menu,

I would be dragging him
back home.

Where do you think
I'm going now?

I know what you're gonna say.

You look great.

I know.

I know you got responsibilities,
but you can take a night off.

Where am I? I'm at your place.

That is such a typical answer.

Ah, it's such
a typical question.

Have you thought about a name
for the baby yet?

No.

'Cause when the time come,
you gonna look up at me,

and I'm gonna just go
with whatever name you say.

Mm.

What about you?

Of course I have.

Y'all be obsessing
over that shit.

Ain't like... ain't like it
matter what I think no way.

I want
to name the baby Worthington.

You hear me?

Baby, come on, now.
Stop ignoring me.

Baby, come on, now.
That was funny.

Ba...

Hey, what's this all about?

Just another drive-by,
just another two people dead.

One named Ray.
And one named Stephon.

Stephon was my son, and...

I want the one responsible.

It was you, Leo said.

Leo?

Teo and Donelle? That was you?

I'm the one
asking the questions.

I want to know.

Fuck what you want to know,
bitch.

You come up in here a...
fuck you.

Did you kill my son? Tell me.

I ain't telling you shit.
Kill him!

Tell me what I want to know.

Maybe I got something
I can tell you.

Maybe I can make it over there
and snap your fucking neck

before you pull the trigger.

Maybe I'll ask Maya.

Remember Maya? Yeah.

Didn't even cross
your selfish-ass mind, huh?

Where is she?

She's in the closet.
She's fine.

She's carrying my baby.

You killed my baby.

You think I fucking care
about yours?

Oh, you not
getting out of here alive.

You think I care
about getting out alive?

All right. You want to hear?

I'll tell you.

Ray was working
one of my corners

without doing what was right.

So, told Teo and Leo
to go tell him what was what,

but they ain't never
get around to it.

Then Donelle sends me word
that Ray's out there dissing me.

I was in the neighborhood.

I decided
I'd take care of it myself.

I warned the motherfucker.

Everything's gonna be
all good. You know?

Tell her to chill.
Stephon's gonna be there.

But you start letting shit go,

pretty soon
it will all be gone.

I wasn't exactly looking
for your son,

but he was there.

He's right there.

So you ask me who's responsible

for that shit on the corner...

It's you.

What are you... you motherf...

you let him run the streets.

He shouldn't have been there.

Shoot him.

He... he got in the way.

That shit's gonna happen
when you somewhere

you ain't supposed to be.

Finish him right now.

So, it's you, it's me,

it's... it's...
it's my man Handro in Mayfield.

It's the world.

Same shit's gonna happen tomorrow.
Kill him. Kill him.

World's gonna keep on turning.

Do you think you can stop it?

Man, who are you?

I'm just a mother.

Ow!

Are you okay?

Come on.

Let's go. No!

Let's go.

It's terrible. That poor girl.

Poor girl?

She knew how he got his money.

And she knew what he did
to get it,

and she fucked him anyway.

Fucked him because of it,
probably.

She didn't deserve to get shot.

We didn't shoot her!

And that shit's gonna happen if
you're where you shouldn't be.

Isn't that what Zo said?
Fucking asshole.

You wanted justice, you got it.

I don't feel better.

That's because it's not over.

Alonzo said his man in Mayfield

was the one
who ordered that hit.

I don't care
about the man in Mayfield.

Well, you have to.

Because it's all connected.

You don't see that?

No. No, I don't see.

I'm sorry, eve, but I'm done.

This wasn't just about you,
remember?

We were supposed to be helping
each other here.

What? So, what?

Now we just go back to our lives
like nothing ever happened?

After all we've been through
and all that we've done,

you really think
that we can go back?

I went into the closet
to change.

Someone grabbed me from behind.

And I heard a voice real low

said I'd be dead
if I made one sound.

Can you give us
any description?

I didn't see.
I didn't want to see.

All I can say...

Is that she sounded real mad.

She? Did you say she?

Only a few crews
got women running with them.

Someone's moving in.
I'm telling you.

All we got to do now
is start running names, records.

What are you talking...
this isn't a turf war.

"She sounded real mad."

That ain't turf. It's personal.

You always say,
"Work the evidence."

So where you getting that?

Call it a working theory.

What's this all about?

We're having a little outing.

Mm-hmm.

Well, this is
a really good idea.

Well, I am so glad
that you're enjoying it.

Oh. Yeah.

Ooh, and I know someone else
who would, too.

Hmm.

Excuse me.

All right, I know you're still mad at me...
What about tomatoes?

But some of us from the group
are out to dinner.

And going to a movie, too.

Dinner and a movie.

I know it's not your thing,

but I thought
I'd just let you know.

So, holla back.

Mnh-mnh.

"Holla back"?

Well, I know
y'all still say that.

No. no.

Lila, was that your friend Eve?

Mm-hmm.

Any luck with getting her
to come back?

I tried,
but you know how she is.

I-I-i've heard you mention her,

but I must have missed
meeting her.

Is she that new woman
from Decatur?

No. She lives in Midtown.

Excuse me,
ladies and gentlemen.

I know we're here to celebrate

getting this lovely lady
out of the house.

But I also want to make a toast
to her son, Mr. Justin,

the award-winning artiste.

Mm!

Award? Cheers.

Wait a minute. Award-winning?

What award?

Um, nothing.
It's just a school thing.

My art project won a contest.

Why didn't you tell her?

I couldn't. I mean,
I couldn't find the time to.

What do you mean,
you couldn't find the time to?

You could just say it.
How hard is that?

Real hard lately.
I never see you.

You're either working
on the house or with them.

So, when you get home...

I'd like to see it, please.

Show your mama.

I wasn't sure how you'd feel.

Do you like it?

I love it.

I love you.

I love you, too, mom.

I love you so much.

Hmm.

Hey.

The mailman left me
some of yours.

I had nothing to...

got the forensics. No prints.

Zo's phone was gone.
I got the records.

Guess who his last call ever
was from?

Teo Corlone.

Teo's got a pretty good alibi,
what with being dead and all.

So, the shooter has Zo's phone,
Teo, and Donelle...

What are you doing?
Don't touch my shit.

Yeah, you better put on
your jacket.

Oh, you finally
got a case big enough

to get you face time
upstairs, huh?

Pretty-boy college kid getting
killed got his attention.

So, what's the latest with
the Bradley Tipton case?

Well, we do know it's the same
gun for all the shootings.

Phone records link them all.

Alonzo to Leo, Alonzo to Teo,

Leo and Teo to Donelle,
Donelle...

all the varied permutations.

He's been waiting to use
that $10 word.

Like I was saying,

they all worked together,
now they're all dead.

The Alejandro organization
supplies the neighborhood,

but, uh, but these guys,
they're local.

It all points to a turf war.

What? No.

The physical evidence doesn't,
the crime scenes sure don't.

I don't know
what else it could be.

And I got the D.A. calling me.

I got the press up my ass.

What would you have me
tell them, Holliston?

Well, you can tell them
no comment.

It's still under investigation.

That your heart

goes out to the families.

Turf war's our working theory.

Help me out, Scaketti.

I got it narrowed down
to two crews...

Quincy Corners and 16th street.

They're the ones who've had
women running with them.

Okay. That's good.

Keep me informed.

Inform me on how your theories
fit the details.

Say, with the wild shooting.

And with taking the phone
and leaving the drugs

and leaving a fucking witness.

You got a better fucking theory?
Yeah.

Somebody's trying
to climb up the ladder,

but not for reasons you think.

Let's try climbing back down.

It's Alonzo's neighborhood, right?
Uh-huh.

He gives a franchise
to Leo and Teo.

Bradley, not-so-innocent
bystander.

Leo and Teo bring on Donelle,
who replaces Ray.

And Stephon, wrong place
at the wrong time.

And it's a woman.

So, what woman?

Jesus Christ.

Oh, shit.

Holliston, yo.

You heard what the chief said
just now.

Turf war's our working theory.

Go home, man.

So, don't forget that we have
that fundraiser for tomorrow.

And if I can get
a couple volunteers

to maybe make some lemon squares
or some muffins...

Muffins.

Thank you. It'd be great.

Thank you, guys. Hi, Lila.

Oh, and...
I think I see a new face.

Was it Nita? Mm-hmm.

- Welcome.
- Welcome, Nita.

You're welcome to share
if you'd like.

I lost my two sons,
Leo and Teo.

They would tease each other,
but you could see the love.

They would come and see me
every sunday.

That's nice.

I'm just a cashier,
but they bought me a house.

But they... they loved
working with their hands.

They... they were
in construction.

They were dealers,
the news said.

We're here to support
each other.

Oh, we've suffered
too much to... to lie.

You don't think I've suffered?

Yeah.

Yeah, you've suffered.

I... you deserve
our love and comfort.

I... if you need any help,
I'll be glad to...

I know we...
we have rules and all.

And I want to do
the right thing,

but if you knew
what your boys were into,

if you took one dime
from them, knowing,

and you didn't do everything
you could to stop them...

Patrice.

She may deserve
comfort and support.

She doesn't deserve it from us.

I'm sorry, but I agree
with Patrice. No.

She's a mother, too.

She's in pain just like us.

I'm not sure we should judge.

We shouldn't.

Ms. Walcott,
you got a few minutes?

Talk about the case?

There's a place nearby...
J.J.'s.

Sure. I'll meet you there.

Miguel Alejandro's crew
runs the whole south side.

In your area, he had a guy named
Alonzo Troys running things.

Alonzo leads to Leo and Teo.

They lead to Donelle.

They all worked together,
and they're all dead.

Bradley, the white frat boy,

he's just big
into dealing on campus.

We think it was a wrong place,
wrong time situation.

That's been known to happen.

Anyway,
Donelle takes over for Ray.

So it all leads back

to the corner
where Stephon was killed.

Now, there's something
I got to ask.

Did Stephon know these guys?

Who the hell you think you are,
asking me that?

Bringing me here
to ask me that?

That white cheerleader
you got posted up on your board

and Bradley...
you ask their mothers that?

He never knew them,
never met them,

never had one thing
to do with them

till the day they murdered him.

I'm just trying
to make sense of it.

You have no idea what it's like
to lose a child.

No idea.

I'm afraid I do.

I'm sorry about that.

Well, if you have
nothing else to tell me,

I'm gonna go home.

But, you know,
there is one other thing.

Um... Alonzo's girl, Maya,

she, uh, identified
the shooter as a woman.

Said she sounded real mad.

No one's gonna believe that.

So, what's gonna happen
to the case now?

If it stops now,
nothing, probably.

If it happens again,

I'm gonna find
the one responsible.

I'm gonna have to.

Leave more than that.

What? It's 15%.

We took up a booth.

You ever think about
what women go through?

Yeah.

Quite a bit lately.

You're under arrest. Oh.

Oh, that's not funny.
Put it away!

It's kind of funny.

I wanted to see how you'd feel
if I didn't show.

You were so scared.

Hell, yeah, I was scared.
That detective knows.

That man don't know shit.

What you need
to be worried about

is our man in Mayfield,
Alonzo's boss.

It's time for me and Justin
to move away.

Oh, jesus.
You with the running.

I need to think about Justin,

and the girls in the support
group will understand.

The girls in the group
don't give a fuck about you.

I do.

You want to run away?

Fine.

But we got to finish
what we started

or they're gonna finish us.

Hey, you.

Hey, you.

You know, I think that once
we finish the renovation,

that, uh, we're gonna move.

Really?

Yeah.

I think it's something
we've got to do.

I understand.

What about Ben?

That's a good question.

I like him.

I like him, too.

Stay down!

Aah!

Justin?

Somebody call an ambulance!

Are you all right?

Oh, Justin.

Justin. oh.

Oh, Justin.

Justin.

Justin. Oh, here, ma'am.
Back here.

Justin.

Hey, Mom.

Ms. Walcott? About your son.

He's got a broken kneecap,
but he's gonna be just fine.

Okay. Okay.

- What's up, big man?
- Hey.

What'd I tell you
about driving?

Thanks for coming.

Come on, now. No need for that.

Let me get you and Justin home.

You both can stay with me

until you can
get things straight.

Justin, you good?

Yeah.

All right.

We gonna get you out of here,
get you home.

One child dead, and...

and then he threatens
the other child.

I mean,
everyone's children, really.

Really.

I am not going back
to feeling helpless.

You know how you told me

you always like to clean house

whenever something bad happens?

Your way of making it better,
right?

Yeah. Being in control.

Uh-huh. Yeah.

Well, let's finish the house...

In a way that will finish off
Alejandro.

Okay. Where do we begin?

Hey, it's me. The trap is set.

Cheese is in place.
All we need is the rat.

Pick me up tonight.

You got Patrice's ride, huh?

Mm-hmm.

I got the address, maps,
everything.

Where'd you get this?

You know where I got it.

You were in my office?

Duh. It's the office
of public records.

Did someone help you?

No, I did it myself.
It was easy.

I mean, the computer did
most of the work, but...

Come on. We got to go.

2121 Dogwood.

I want you to look down
at Alejandro's house

and tell me what you see.

A party.

Alejandro's out there,
and we're over here,

and he doesn't even think
about what he does to us.

And that's what I mean.

It's not you.

It's the world
that's lost its mind.
