Previously on Shots Fired...

You think you own me now?

You think I want to talk about what's been going on?

20 years on the force, Calvert.

I'm gonna reserve my congratulations until it's official.

Assaulting an officer?

Get off me!

I'll do my best to keep this incident out of the system.

You do what I do, you realize we're born bad.

What about your daughter?

She's the only good thing in my life.

I'm going back to D.C. for a custody hearing.

Why didn't you tell me Cox Group Financial

was financing

your education initiative?

Our state prisons are overcrowded.

Overcrowded with my people.

I know how much Gate Station means to you.

Together, we can keep our city

from becoming another Ferguson.

Sergeant Derkin was partnered with Breeland.

You see anything the night Joey Campbell was killed?

It was Breeland's crime scene.

You must have talked to him.

So you were there.

That guy's got a lot of guilt, more than he can carry.

I think I can turn him.

That's him!

That's the man who shot Joey.

Make sure you come straight home after school.

Won't be home till 5:30.

I have math study group, remember?

All right, then meet me at Chosen House.

We'll grab a bite after, all right?

All right, bye.

You forgetting something?

Don't worry. None of your little girlfriends on the bus saw you.

All right.

What about Joey? What about Joey?

_

What about Joey? What about Joey?

That's your fam.

We ask for programs for the poor,

they turn our neighborhoods into a police state.

We ask for better schools,

they give us prisons.

We need an uprising.

Like Baltimore.

Like Ferguson.

Like Detroit.

But we need a different fire this time.

We need our fire to burn down police brutality.

Burn down racism.

Burn down injustice.

Burn down everything the flag on this wall represents.

This is a riot

of ideas and action.

The fire this time will be stoked by love, not hate;

truth, not lies;

peace, not violence!

Get off me!

It's easy to throw a bottle.

It takes wisdom to know why you want to throw it.

And courage to know why you shouldn't.

When we're united,

anything is possible.

If you share that belief,

join me at Chosen House.

All right, Pastor!

Turn your anger

into action.

You can go now.

Ain't nobody gonna hurt you.

Justice for Joey!

Justice for Joey! Justice for Joey!

Derkin was at Mason County PD for two weeks,

then he drives himself into a lake.

Why?

This is his confession.

He was there.

Saw who killed Joey.

Couldn't handle it.

A signed confession would have been nice.

Now Cory's the only one left

who can identify the shooter as Arlen Cox.

Richest man in the state.

Platt conveniently left his name off the list

of auxiliary deputies in the program.

They're scared.

I say we go after Arlen.

You shoot at the king, you better not miss.

He's gonna use his money and his influence

to discredit our witness, me, you,

whatever it takes.

You take Cox.

I'll talk to Governor Eamons.

The Tours are her program.

Arlen is her biggest supporter.

We'll find out what she knows.

Don't shoot! Justice for Joey!

Out of the way!

Don't do that.

What's up?

This place is a powder keg.

Hey!

Justice! Justice!

We celebrate

this groundbreaking

of this most modern correctional facility

because of you.

Not only will this generate

hundreds of jobs and revenue across the state,

but we think that this is a model

for all the correctional facilities

that will be built in the years to come

across this nation.

Mr. Terry, I assume you didn't come for the hors d'oeuvres.

I'm afraid not.

I'm here to talk to you

about your Community Patrol Program.

What about it?

What's your level of involvement?

It was a perk for a few of my top donors,

the opportunity to become deputized.

Seeing how law enforcement

works up close helps raise money

for the department and some of my other initiatives.

Are you aware of the abuses within the program?

Abuses?

What is this about?

We have reason to believe

the program may be linked to Joey Campbell's death

What could possibly make you think that?

We have a witness who identified

one of your volunteer auxiliary deputies

as Joey Campbell's killer.

Give me a chance to look into this.

We're gathering information on The Tours.

"The Tours"?

That's an interesting turn of phrase.

It's a splendid program.

So you admit you were involved.

Admit?

I am proud of it.

Being a volunteer deputy

has given me a first-hand appreciation

for how people like you could make a difference.

I'm only sorry that my schedule is such

that I can't participate as much as I'd like to.

Sheriff Platt failed to mention you ever participated at all.

Any idea why?

It was some time ago.

Perhaps he's just giving you

the most recent information.

How long is "some time"?

Two months.

Fortunate timing.

Why?

It means you weren't there

the night Joey Campbell was killed.

You wanted to see me, sir?

Good.

Shut the door.

Mason County Sheriff called.

Derkin killed himself.

Drove his car into a lake.

Hell of a thing.

You gonna be okay?

You come with me.

And try to act surprised.

Surprise!

I just...

I just wanted to look into your eyes.

I needed to come here and face you.

Now, I'm not going to ask you why you killed my son

because I know you'll lie.

I'd be able to tell,

and neither one of us would survive that.

But...

I want to know...

Did he suffer?

What were his last words?

Did you tell him that you were sorry?

He didn't suffer.

I hope you do.

With all my heart,

I hope you suffer every day of your life.

Were any of our volunteer auxiliary deputies

involved in the death of Joey Campbell?

Absolutely not,

and I'm offended by the accusation.

I don't give a damn about you being offended.

The DOJ believes a program I created

was misused by your department.

They have a witness.

Their witness has zero credibility, Governor.

They seem to disagree.

They are nowhere with the Jesse Carr case,

so they're grasping at anything to make themselves seem useful.

There's absolutely no validity to their claims.

There are two dead boys on my watch,

and I'm going to have to answer to their mothers.

I expect you to cooperate fully with the Department of Justice

on both cases.

With all due respect, Governor...

...there would be no DOJ investigation

if you'd listened to me and allowed my office

to handle the Jesse Carr matter in the first place.

If I thought your office could handle this case,

I wouldn't have had to bring in an outside group.

Gate Station is bleeding

and Deputy Beck is still a member of your department.

And you wonder why I question your leadership.

What's up, Campbell?

Damn, all the drama in the city, it's about your brother.

You're like a celebrity.

You heard about Sergeant Derkin?

Yes, sir.

He always used to say

the integrity of the badge

was his God.

I guess I can relate.

Me, too.

I think more than most.

Joshua, as long as you're in uniform,

unwanted attention will be directed at all officers.

For the integrity of the department

and for yourself, I'm placing you

on administrative leave with pay

until this is resolved.

I guess due process is for everyone

but the ones upholding the law, huh?

If anybody else had said what you said on that video,

I would have fired their ass.

Would you like me to finish out the day, sir?

I need you to turn over your badge and your firearm.

It never crossed your mind to give me a heads up?

Is that what you're expecting from this?

I expect not to be blindsided.

I don't know what you know.

You really think

that I would know something like that

and not put a stop to it immediately?

And how did you even know about the donors

to connect him to the program?

I happened to glance down at your laptop

when we were together.

You glanced over?

You violated my privacy.

I didn't violate anything.

I looked down and I saw a name on your open laptop.

So stealing information and being unethical

is just another day at the office for you?

I don't appreciate you calling me unethical.

And I don't appreciate you.

Not anymore.

You're leaving?

Yeah, thanks to you.

I had nothing to do with it.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that.

We need to talk.

Off the record.

Not here.

Glad you could make it.

I think you'll find this interesting.

So you're saying no jail time?

You help us and we'll help you.

- I worked for Joey. - Doing what?

Selling.

Who'd you sell to?

That white kid from the news that got shot.

Jesse.

So Joey and Jesse

would have had the same strain of weed.

Of course.

You opened a DOJ investigation on Joey Campbell

because you claimed their deaths were connected, am I right?

Well, now you know.

There is no cover up.

If there's no cover up,

why did you leave Arlen Cox's name

off your list of auxiliary deputies?

Joey gave weed to this kid.

This kid sold it to Jesse.

You were on a wild goose chase then.

Now you're on a wild goose chase with the Community Patrol.

Your superiors will hear from me.

Hearing at 5:30?

Look, I don't want you to worry

about this place or anything else.

Focus on what you've got to do.

You love your daughter. Anyone can see that.

You just gotta let that judge in.

You know I wouldn't be leaving for anything else.

I know.

See you soon, boss.

I'll see you.

We don't drink in front of the boys.

They're taking a nap.

You need to talk to somebody.

Go see somebody.

You think this helps?

Mrs. Beck.

I'm Preston Terry.

I know who the hell you are.

What do you want?

Kerry, let him in.

Have a seat.

Hey, can, uh... can we have a little bit of, um, privacy?

Please?

No, thanks.

That's right.

You're on the job.

I told you.

It's off the record.

Nothing's ever off the record.

I had nothing to do with your suspension.

All I ever wanted,

all I want, is the truth.

Well, the truth is

you wouldn't be here if I shot a black kid.

No one would.

I mean, a black man killing another black man

isn't sexy enough.

What about your conscience?

I mean, would it tell you anything different

if the kid was a different color?

Oh, they took my conscience a long time ago.

Then take it back.

Tell me about Joey.

The Tours.

Who was out that night? Derkin?

Arlen?

Breeland?

Who shot Joey?

Look, maybe you forgot what color you are,

but I'm reminded every day.

I mean, my uniform doesn't protect me

the same way that it does them white boys.

I've been the only one in the room my entire life.

I know what that is.

But my success is a middle finger

to anyone who ever tried to make me feel less than.

So stop feeling sorry for yourself and fight back.

Nah.

We're supposed to just take it no matter how much it hurts.

And, finally, when you give up, finally, when you decide

that you're gonna stand up and be a man, you...

And what?

What happens then?

Beck...

When you said you had a license to kill crackers,

was that a joke or a confession?

Get out of my house.

Hey.

Where's Kai?

Listen, Ashe...

Where's my daughter?

There's been a change of plans.

What?

This is Miss Hadad.

She's a court-appointed guardian.

It's gonna be a supervised visit.

What the hell is this?

I'm here to observe the familial relationship

between you and your daughter

and make a recommendation to the judge.

I don't give a damn who appointed you.

You're not babysitting me and my kid.

Look, I'm sorry.

I'm not trying to overreact,

I just...

Mommy!

- I miss you so much! - Hey!

I miss you.

I miss you so much!

Oh, I miss you too, tremendous!

Come on, I made you something.

You did?

Is it beets?

Ew!

Guess what hand it's in.

This one?

Maybe.

This one?

Maybe.

It can't be in both hands.

What's that? You made this yourself?

Mm-hmm.

It's mostly purple, our favorite color.

'Cause of all the colors in the rainbow,

it has royalty...

And magic...

And...

Mystery!

Mommy!

I love you, too.

I love my bracelet

and I'm never gonna take it off, okay?

Mm-hmm, okay.

What about Joey? What about Joey?

_

What about Joey?

Justice for Joey!

I've called for a news conference in an hour

to help keep the peace.

Mr. Mayor, I'd like you to be there.

We are way past news conferences, Governor.

We're just setting ourselves up for attack.

We need order.

Law enforcement

from three other counties have been brought in.

I've reached out to community leaders

to help keep the peace.

I have not ruled out a curfew.

Have you even been watching the news? That's not enough.

You need to declare a state of emergency.

Be proactive, Governor,

before these thugs out there burn our entire...

Those people have a right to protest.

If these isolated incidents give way

to a more violent atmosphere,

our law enforcement will become more proactive.

I believe in 24 hours,

the situation will be under control.

I certainly hope so.

I would hate to think that these disturbances

would interfere with Sunday's football game.

That would be a fiduciary nightmare.

But in the spirit of pessimism,

I have an associate

who provides prisoner transport for me,

and he has offered to the state an armored vehicle...

What? No!

I am not declaring war on my citizens.

Your citizens have already declared war on you.

If you're looking for somebody to tell you don't be angry,

you're in the wrong place.

I know you're hurting,

and no one seems to care about your pain.

No matter how intense your cries,

they refuse to hear you.

Amen.

You have been voiceless for so long,

you've not only forgotten how to speak,

but you've become incapable of listening.

But the voiceless will learn to speak

in ways that cannot be misunderstood.

Your needs may go unheard by those in power,

but brothers and sisters,

you are not silent.

Your voice will be found

in the tears of a mother who was forced to bury her child.

It is in the desperation of our sons and daughters

whose dreams are denied on a daily basis,

and in the remnants of their dreams

that are destroyed long before the bullet

shattered their body.

It is in our father,

who is fighting for his family's

dignity and respect

in the face of unrelenting hate,

fear, and indifference.

The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King said

that a riot is the language of the unheard.

If that is true,

if our voices be silenced, our spirits broken,

if we have no other choice to speak to power

and power has neither the desire nor the will to listen,

then Dr. King's words will no longer be a warning,

but a prophecy.

And what seemed to begin as a peaceful protest,

has now resulted in...

Governor, would you like to hold the press conference

in the media room or in your office?

Cancel the press conference.

Yes, ma'am.

...taken immediate action

regarding the escalating tension

between hundreds of protestors taking to the streets

and a police force who may soon be overrun.

And when that happens, it'll be too late...

...for language to matter.

You were partnered together to work the cartels in Columbia.

Incredibly dangerous work.

I applaud you both for your courage and service.

- Thank you, Your Honor. - Thank you.

Mr. Cano, you're still with the DEA,

but you no longer work in the field.

Yeah, my desk job allows me

to be a consistent presence in my daughter's life.

Ms. Akino, I imagine being an investigator

requires frequent travel

and time away from home.

I'm very capable

of balancing both my job and being a mother.

I imagine it can also be perilous work.

I can handle myself, if that's what you're asking.

Actually, it was an observation.

Mr. Cano, according to your complaint,

Ms. Akino has difficulty managing her anger.

When...

you're dealing with bad people,

you have to meet them where they're at, so, um,

you're straddling two worlds.

And sometimes, I think it's difficult for her

to bring her other foot back.

Are you kidding me?

What the hell are you saying?

You threw a vase at her,

and it happened when Kai was in the house.

She yelled at her... That's okay with you?

- No, it's not okay. - Please address me

and not each other.

She yelled at my daughter.

And I threw the vase by her, not at her.

From what the guardian ad litem has observed,

she has genuine affection for Ms. Perez.

It doesn't mean she takes my place.

Your fitness as a mother is the only question

before this court.

Now, I don't believe

in separating a child from a parent, but if I find

it's in the best interest of your daughter,

I won't hesitate to do so.

That's just the point, Your Honor.

I was raised by my dad after my mother left.

When I was 16, he got sick

and had to be hospitalized for almost a year.

I was put in foster care,

and even though the family who raised me was nice,

they weren't my parents.

I didn't look into their eyes

and see myself.

When I smile at her,

Kai sees her reflection.

When she's afraid or when she's sad,

she needs me to make the world safe and happy again.

No one can give her what I can,

no matter how much they might care for her

or how much affection they might have for her.

When she calls out for me, she needs me.

And if I'm not there for her,

she might not be there for herself.

Miss Akino, I am moved by your words,

but I don't have the luxury of determining cases

based solely on emotion.

Now, while you have finally sought counseling,

the report from the psychiatrist

does little to support a ruling in your favor.

He says that you have possible PTSD,

which must be addressed.

Now, I will review all these items

and make my decision by the end of the month.

Your boy's out there.

Where's he at?

You ain't got to do this, man!

No, no, no.

Shut that thing off!

What are you doing, damn it?!

Justice for Joey! Justice for Joey!

_

Shawn!

Shawn!

Shawn?

What you doing?

Derrick!

Derrick!

Miss Campbell!

Where's Shawn?

I don't know, I don't know!

Brooks, I gotta get through.

No one passes.

I know one of the shop owners.

He might need my help.

If you got a friend back there, there's nothing you can do to help.

Now step back, Mr. Terry, or I'll arrest you.

Shawn!

Get off me!

There's my mom!

Mom!

Get off my son!

Get off!

That was my mom!

Shawn!

I told you both we didn't want another Ferguson,

but that's exactly what it's starting to look like down there.

I understand your concern, sir,

but the race problems they've been having

have been festering for decades.

We didn't send you there to dissect the race problem.

We sent you down there to dissect the events

of the Jesse Carr shooting.

Which you both said was linked

to the Joey Campbell shooting.

If we investigate why a fire started,

we could say its 'cause someone struck a match.

But if we understand why the match was lit,

we get to the root cause.

Isn't that what we do here?

And what we don't do is make things up as we go along.

The sheriff informed me that a Lieutenant Breeland

found a witness who contradicted your theories

regarding a link between the Carr and Campbell shooting.

Is this true?

Breeland's witness appears to...

Breeland's witness appears to contradict our findings.

Preston is way too green.

The governor asked for our assistance

to prevent a city in her state from being torn apart.

Instead, this investigation has caused more division,

more distrust, and no real tangible evidence.

Ruiz is prepping a new team to step in and take over.

You both have a week to finish up.

Javi?

Hey.

Ashe?

Yeah.

So now you got nothing to say?

You called me, Ashe.

How could you do that to me?

It's not about you.

It's about Kai.

Look me in the face and tell me she doesn't need me.

You're reckless, Ashe.

So are you!

But I would never say that in court

because I would never betray you.

You really want me to go there?

I didn't betray you, Javi.

You screwed somebody else!

I was scared about us

and I did something really stupid.

Come on!

I know you,

and scared is one thing that you never were.

Hm?

I wouldn't be alive if that was true.

I was too afraid to believe

I deserved that kind of happiness.

Don't do this to me, Ashe.

I'm messed up, I know that, but so are you.

The things we've done, the things we've seen,

everything was always on volume ten.

And then we had Kai

and we tried to make it quiet,

but we're not made for quiet.

Quiet makes us think.

I just had a gun pulled on me the other day,

and I got all this adrenaline and no place to put it.

You know what that's like.

Why am I here?

You're the only one who can handle me.

And I'm the only one who can handle you.

You're trying to be this other guy...

Javi...

I'm asking you, please

drop this custody suit.

This should have never happened, baby.

That's not an answer.

This was a mistake.

I'm sorry, Ashe.

I don't make mistakes.

Oh, Ashe, I miss you.

I miss you too.

You recorded us?

It's saved and safe.

This whole thing, it was a setup?

Huh?!

If you want to save your relationship with Paula,

you'll withdraw the case.

We clear?

The only thing that's clear to me now

is you're unfit to be a mother.

I saw that interview you gave the first day you got to town.

"My success will be an example to all

that we must put our humanity first."

You sounded like Abraham Lincoln.

Thank you.

Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was riddled with lies.

"Four score and seven years ago."

Puts us back to the Declaration,

not the Constitution.

And "government of the people, by the people, for the people"?

What about the Southern people?

Some might say that Lincoln

invoked the principles of humanity

and redefined the...

Civil War as a struggle for...

equality.

Yeah, that's what Northerners say,

but...

The violence

and the Department of Justice

intrusion into our way of life

is just a reminder that there's just too much government.

These uprisings are a reminder of what happens

when there's too little justice.

Why don't we just agree

to disagree?

You worked pretty closely with Sergeant Derkin

on the Tours.

Any theories as to why he would have committed suicide?

No.

No, none at all.

Well, here's mine.

I think Derkin dishonored his badge

and he thought he was no longer worthy of wearing it

because he was there the night Joey Campbell was killed

and he knew who did it.

Wait a minute, are you saying

you think that person is me?

Before you have an opportunity to badger my client...

Just shut up.

Was it you?

No, it wasn't.

And I think it would be a wise thing

for you to spend some time

pursuing the people who are responsible

for this violence and this destruction of property

in the last 24 hours.

That's exactly who I'm pursuing.

Are you all right?

They took my boy.

Won't even let me see him.

Let me help you.

Ain't you done enough?

You come down here and throw it in our face

that we don't matter... Never have, never will.

We ain't never gonna get justice.

Can't even get it from ourselves.

Shawn Campbell was arrested yesterday.

He's a good kid.

Yeah.

I thought he was too,

until he destroyed a police vehicle.

His mother already lost one son.

She doesn't deserve to lose another.

So...

you uphold the law until you need to break it?

If you respected the law,

your town wouldn't be burning down.

Are you implying I'm dirty?

I don't know what you are.

But I saw you save those kids from being firehosed.

So whatever you were,

maybe you still want to be a good cop.

I'm giving you that chance.

One year on the job

and you think you can change the world.

How long does it take to become jaded?

Shawn is staying right where he is.

Hey!

Hey, Ashe.

I know you're dealing with a lot right now.

I hope you're okay.

It's gotten pretty bad down here.
