Original subtitles

In the criminal justice system,

sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous.

In New York City,

the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies

are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit.

These are their stories.

You got us lost, and we haven't found one thing on the list.

So what? It's just a stupid scavenger hunt.

It's supposed to teach us how to use the GPS

in case of an emergency.

I want to get my tracking merit badge.

"I want to get my tracking merit badge."

You're never gonna make it in the seventh grade, Randall.

I think we go this way.

Holy cow, Marcus.

What? You see a snake?

No. It's a lady.

She needs help.

I can get my first aid merit badge.

It's too late, dorkface. She's dead.

Julie Donovan, 17. Two boys found her.

Cause of death?

Probably blunt-force trauma to the head.

"Probably"? You don't sound so sure.

She's covered in bruises and ligature marks.

Hard to tell what killed her, beating or strangulation.

Any fluids?

I found semen inside of her, so we should have the perp's DNA.

And this baseball cap was next to her body.

That's a "C." Victim could be from Cinci or Chicago.

Her learner's permit says she's from Long Island.

The size strap's kind of big.

This could be the perp's hat.

Hey! Lookie here.

What you got?

Busted cell phone.

Killer beat the crud out of her and kept whaling on this.

That kind of rage, he knew her.

And left her to die in the dirt. It's pathetic.

It's worse than that.

What's that?

Her lips.

I'm telling you, you're wrong. It's not Julie.

There must be some mistake, because she's all I got.

Her mother left her when she was two. Drugs.

She's with her friends now, and she didn't call me.

She forgets to call me.

Anybody you know who doesn't like your daughter?

No, everybody likes her. She's...

It's a problem.

Why is that a problem?

Well, when she turned 13, she started getting into hip hop and...

And what?

Black guys. No offense.

I didn't like it, but I didn't want to fight with her about it,

because I didn't want her to run off like her mother, you know.

So how did you handle it?

I told her that as long as she kept her grades up,

I didn't care who she hung out with.

Are you ready, Mr. Donovan?

No!

Detective?

We got a hit on the DNA.

You know who did this?

Mr. Donovan, you need to go home and let us...

I want to know who murdered my daughter.

I'm sorry, but we can't do anything...

Tell me who killed my daughter!

You know who did it! You tell me who, then.

Please. It's my baby!

DNA in the victim belongs to Mike Kona,

collared for two burglaries and a rape charge that was later dropped.

The guy's a world-champion fighter.

What is he, a boxer?

Technically, he's a mixed martial artist.

You mean cats who try to kill each other in the cage?

You know, where I come from, we don't call that fighting.

You know, these guys are the greatest athletes in the world.

You sound like a fan.

I'm more than that.

Get out of here. That's not you.

You bet your ass it is.

"Naptime wins in A.C."

What, they call you Naptime

'cause your boring stories put everybody to sleep?

'Cause of my right hook.

When it hits your head, it's lights out.

This was my last amateur fight.

Then I was gonna quit the force and go pro.

What happened?

Tore my ACL.

Now the only naptime you get is when you fall asleep at your desk.

I still train.

There's only one MMA gym in Manhattan.

Sometimes Kona works out there.

You think he could be there right now?

Well, he has a title fight on pay-per-view tonight.

I bet he's already at the Garden.

Come on, baby, kill him!

Get him! Yeah!

Yeah!

Come on, baby, knock him out!

Knock him out, baby!

Come on, baby! Kill him! Kill him!

He's out, he's out! That's it.

I love you, baby!

Hey, baby. Baby!

Make room for the champ.

I don't care if you are cops, get out of my way.

Whoa, down, boy.

What the hell are you doing?

Mike Kona, you need to come with us.

What for? He didn't do nothing.

Stay out of this, Traci.

Hey, look, bud, I just won a championship fight.

Why don't you cut me a break, huh?

Sure, the same kind of break you cut Julie Donovan?

Let's go.

I never seen that girl before.

Really?

That's funny, 'cause we found your semen inside of her.

There's only one way for that to happen.

You know, your rap sheet says you were charged with rape last year.

Are you a good-guy rapist?

That charge was dropped.

It's really not what you think.

It never is.

Look, bro, man to man,

I want to believe you, but the facts are just making it real hard.

Look, the rap sheet says you raped Traci Bell.

Guess you couldn't fight off the urge to rape again, huh?

I didn't rape Julie, and I certainly didn't rape Traci.

She's my fiancée.

Well, they said it was rape.

Who's they? The cops.

We were both really drunk,

making a loud racket underneath the sheets at this motel.

I guess someone heard my screams and thought I was in trouble.

It was all a misunderstanding. Yeah, right.

Like it was a misunderstanding last night

when he raped another girl and then killed her.

Kona wouldn't have done that.

Then how'd he get his DNA inside her?

Listen, I'm not gonna help you build a case against him.

Look, if you're afraid of him and think he'll hurt you...

Honey, didn't you just hear me?

I'm a screamer.

I got this boy wrapped around my finger.

Well, if you're not afraid of him,

then why'd you drop the rape charge?

Because he bought me this big, fat diamond ring.

Now I get it.

Guess he's your ticket out of this dump.

Are you calling me a gold digger?

No, I'm calling you cold.

Your fiancé raped and murdered a young girl,

and you don't give a damn.

Probably one of those groupie sluts he was banging.

And you don't care if he messes around?

Not as long as I'm number one.

You ever seen Kona with this girl?

No, but I haven't checked the tape lately.

What tape?

I bought one of these nanny cams at the spy shop.

It's a picture frame with a video camera in it.

If we ever got married, I wanted proof he was cheating.

For what?

For the divorce.

Open the back of the frame, and there's a pull-out USB flash drive.

You look so hot, Kona.

Yeah?

Smile, baby.

No pictures. Come on, just one.

I said no pictures. No pictures.

Well, we got a sneak preview of the rest.

You know, we don't want to embarrass you,

but if Julie sold that picture,

your new nickname would be Tiny.

And I thought the camera was supposed to make everything look bigger.

She didn't respect you, man.

She was gonna show the whole world your privates.

So, you take her to the park, she starts screaming and won't shut up,

then you grab her by the face and rip off her lips.

That would shut her up.

I just gave her a little slap.

Uh-huh. You guys are crazy.

You never saw me hurt Julie.

We had sex. That's it.

You say sex, we say rape.

She wanted it. You saw the tape.

The little nympho was all over me.

That's for a jury to decide.

This is Mr. Sullivan.

He represents Prestige Fighting Alliance, Kona's league.

Yeah, well, you got an uphill battle on this one.

I don't think so, big guy.

Copies of the membership-card swipes

from the gym Mr. Kona was at last night.

Someone else could have swiped his card.

The video on these tapes was taken

from the gym surveillance cameras,

showing exactly when Mr. Kona arrived and left.

We still got him for battery.

The girl is dead.

The only way to make that charge stick

is by playing that tape in an open court.

It's a hell of a thing for a grieving father to see.

Cut him loose.

I'll have your badges for putting Kona through this.

He's lucky we didn't bust him for the battery.

I see you on the street, pretty boy, you're dead.

Well, bring it on.

Come on, Mike. Don't waste your time.

Kona would've beat your ass.

I would have held my own for a couple of rounds.

I'd like to see that, but don't expect me to cry at your funeral.

What the...

Secure that weapon!

Hey! Drop that gun! Drop it!

Call a bus.

Go!

Terry, what the hell did you do?

That was for Julie.

How was Terry Donovan's arraignment?

No bail. Judge sent him to Rikers.

Poor guy.

Maybe the jury will go easy on him.

The guy's a murderer.

If he does 20 years, he'll be lucky.

DNA came back on the baseball hat found at the crime scene.

Matches a Jadon Odami.

It's a sealed juvenile record.

That's all we know about him.

Captain, I pulled some video footage from the smashed SIM card

on Julie Donovan's phone.

Somebody's buying me lunch for this one.

Well, there's Jadon Odami dancing with our victim.

Looks like they're about to get it on.

Maybe Jadon was her boyfriend.

Guess he didn't like sharing.

Check how Julie goes between Jadon and the other guy.

When was this shot?

Time-date stamp was from the night of the murder.

Okay, so she does Kona,

then she goes to this party and hooks up with the killer.

Only question is where.

Banner says Kappa Delta Alpha.

Kappa Delta Alpha's one of the oldest fraternities on campus.

Looks like you guys study real hard.

We had a little party a couple nights ago.

Was he there?

Sure, Jadon rushed the frat last semester.

What's up with that flag?

KDA was founded by a direct descendant of Jefferson Davis.

We're very proud of our heritage.

You know you lost the war.

Why would a young black kid want to pledge this fraternity?

A certain special interest group made waves.

You mean Al Sharpton picketed your ass.

Yeah, he forced us to let the brothers in.

Free room and board.

"The brothers"?

You got a lot of balls saying that to my face.

No, they're real brothers.

Jadon and Ezra Odami.

I'll take you to their room.

Did you see Jadon or Ezra with this girl at the party?

They were practically having sex with her on the dance floor.

I told them to leave her alone.

Why? 'Cause she was white?

Because she looked underage.

Was I right? She file charges?

She couldn't. She was found murdered.

Hey, man, what's going on?

Dudes, that girl you hooked up with at the party,

she got killed.

Hey!

I will not tolerate this type of chaos.

Chasing students around campus housing.

Would you rather have a murderer on campus?

Murderer? Who?

His name is Jadon Odami.

Jadon. Yes, he and his brother Ezra exemplify

Hudson's commitment to diversity.

That's rich-white-guy speak for,

"I'm gonna let a couple of poor ghetto kids

"get a taste of the high life."

Can we see their files?

Usually, you'd need a warrant,

but we'll forego the formalities since I'm expelling them.

What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Come on, Detective.

You said you were looking for a murderer.

I have a duty to protect my students from thugs.

I haven't seen that many thugs with straight As.

Jadon and Ezra graduated high school top of their class.

Yeah, well, that's not saying much.

Check out the address of their school.

Look familiar?

Prison school.

20 years at this school, Jadon and Ezra were my best students.

They're good kids.

Your warden says Ezra has three robbery collars.

You call that a good kid?

Those robberies were survival crimes.

They only stole for food and a place to sleep.

Doesn't help the victim, does it?

Those boys would never hurt anybody, much less kill them.

If you're so sure they're innocent,

why don't you tell us where they are,

so we can help them get off the hook?

Look, I don't know where they are.

But once you read their files,

you won't be so quick to judge them.

The teacher's right.

The system failed Jadon and Ezra the day they were born.

The system didn't make them commit murder.

Well, but look at the hand they were dealt,

addicted mother, different absent fathers, both in prison.

Life with Mom was a revolving door.

Foster care when she was high,

back home when she cleaned up.

They got beat on by a bunch of their foster parents.

These brothers were ticking time bombs.

Look, they were just kids.

You know, they didn't have a chance.

What are you, a social worker now?

They lived in 19 different foster homes.

Like, someone's gotta help them.

Well, wait until you have your own family.

Hey, what's that supposed to mean?

It means that when you have a daughter Julie Donovan's age,

your heart'll stop bleeding for the mopes who killed her.

You're saying that I don't give a crap about the victims?

We keep it civil around here, or you're gone.

All right, go cool off.

We need to find Jadon and Ezra.

Let's start with their biological mother, Janelle Odami.

She lives at the Marcy Projects.

You boys look in need.

I'm gonna let the Mexican here

feed the cat his horchata for $20,

and, brother, since we're tight,

I'm gonna let you hit it for $10.

Damn!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, I ain't finished!

Pack it in, unless you want to stay at my place.

You just cost me 20 bucks.

Your name Janelle Odami?

Your name nasty-ass pig?

Lose the attitude. We're here about your sons, Jadon and Ezra.

My babies.

The teacher said they were geniuses.

They must have got it from their fathers' side.

Hey, Uncle Tom, what's it like in the house?

Least I ain't selling it.

Damn. White, black, I'm getting it from all sides today.

Hey, man, her pimp called me a Mexican.

Is that good or bad?

Run!

Pipe down, lady.

Run, baby! JADON: No, Mama.

What are you doing here?

Giving myself up.

I killed that girl.

So why'd you kill Julie Donovan?

I don't want to talk about it.

Well, you got the stones to walk in here and confess to a murder,

and you don't want to talk about it?

Look, I already copped to it.

What, you need me to fill out your paperwork, too?

I'm done with him.

Jadon, where's your brother?

Ezra's got nothing to do with this.

You're looking at life.

You talk, maybe we can do something for you.

No, thanks.

Thought you might want to say goodbye to your mother

before we take her down to Central Booking.

What they lock you up for, Mom?

You know how it is, son.

Crackers got nothing better to do than mess with my broke ass.

How you been?

Doing all right.

How about you?

This heroin's got your mama by the soul, baby.

It took me to places that Jesus won't go.

Come here, baby.

I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired.

All she's put him through, and he still loves her.

When you don't have anything, you take what you can get.

Visiting time is over.

You know, you could help me out here.

If I tell you what happened, you let her go?

You talk, she walks out of here tonight.

I'm hurting so bad, Jadon.

I don't want to kick in prison.

I need to get well.

Deal.

That's my baby,

always looking after his mama.

"Docket ending 2500, People v. Jadon Odami."

On the charge of Murder in the Second Degree, how do you plead?

Not guilty, Your Honor.

That's not what I told you to say.

You were coerced during interrogation.

Your Honor, there was no coercion.

The defendant freely confessed.

Really? What, his mother just happened to

pop in during the middle of his interview?

Your Honor, I killed Julie Donovan.

I plead guilty.

You listen to your attorney, son.

You're fired.

There, he's not my lawyer now.

If you plead guilty, you'll have to sign a waiver of appeal,

which means you can't change your mind.

That's cool.

Your Honor, the People have no objections.

In order for me to hear your confession,

you'll have to give the court the details of your crime.

Me and my brother were at a party at the frat house.

This white girl was dancing with me all night.

After we had sex, I was walking her home and tried to rob her.

She started fighting me off, so I beat on her.

She wouldn't stop yelling, so I grabbed her face and squeezed it.

Something snapped and everything went red.

Is the allocution sufficient, Ms. Novak?

It is, Your Honor.

Very well, your plea of guilty is accepted.

Sentencing in two weeks. Next case.

You're here early.

Well, someone's gotta close up the Julie Donovan murder.

Where you been?

We locked up Jadon Odami last night.

He pled guilty at arraignment.

But the other killer's still on the street.

Jadon said he was solo.

Got a friend at Family Court, snuck a peek at Jadon's juvie record.

Every one of his crimes, he had a partner.

Guess who? Ezra.

Give that man a gold star.

Look, you got both your little angels

on video dirty dancing with Julie.

Maybe she wasn't in the mood for a threesome,

things got rough, she got dead.

And we got played.

Count on that. I'm gonna grab breakfast.

Good luck finding Ezra.

You want to head down to Rikers and talk with Jadon?

What's the point?

He's doing a life sentence for his brother.

He's not gonna give him up.

Guess I gotta find Ezra myself, then.

Now, why would two brothers from Brooklyn

wear hats with the letter "C" on it?

Maybe it's a gang thing.

You know, if you're right, then Ezra's hanging out with his homies.

It's his only safety net.

But what gang?

They're representing with a "C".

If they were Crips, they wouldn't wear anything red.

I got a guy at Gang Crimes who'll hook us up.

They're the new kids on the block.

The "C" hats, real popular with the Corner Hustlers.

Tell us about them.

Very small, very well-organized,

almost impossible to infiltrate.

Blood in, blood out. And they mean it.

Yeah. We got a couple of members we want to run by you.

Jadon and Ezra Odami.

I read about Jadon in the paper.

That your case?

Yeah. Ezra's in the wind,

and we think he's hanging out with his fellow gang members.

The Corner Hustlers center out of the Marcy Apartments.

That's where their moms lives.

Yeah, but good luck getting anyone in the projects to talk.

These guys run the place.

Hey, I thought the Latin Kings ran the place.

It's a war between the two.

I bet the Kings wouldn't mind ratting out the competition.

We're sitting ducks.

We're like honey to bees, man.

And here come the bees.

Yo, this is Latin King country, son.

What are Corner Hustlers still doing in Marcy?

Gun! I ain't got nothing, man.

Down! Police! I'm just playing, man.

I'm just playing, man. I ain't got nothing, man.

Yo, what's... What is this?

It's for my art classes, man.

Are you a gang-banging Picasso?

I gotta express myself.

You're gonna be expressing yourself in Rikers

if you don't tell us where he is.

Hey, he used to hang out here, man,

but I think he got out before the beef.

What beef?

Yo, I can get shot for talking with you.

You're lucky we didn't shoot you

for reaching up under your shirt. Speak.

Cat named Jimmy Mac started a crew

on Rikers Island about five months ago

called the Corner Hustlers.

Yeah. Red hat with the "C," that's their thing.

What's Jimmy Mac's rep?

That dude's crazy. He makes his crew

rape girls before they can roll.

We don't need that kind of heat in Marcy,

so the Kings put a price on his head.

Jimmy Mac AKA James McDonnell.

Guy's a real scumbag.

His greatest hits include pimping, assault and robbery.

He's a repeat offender.

He catches one more felony, he's going away for life.

McDonnell's the leader of the Corner Hustlers.

He could have ordered an initiation murder.

Jadon and Ezra killed Julie to get into the gang.

I just found McDonnell. He was at Rikers. What for?

Jumping a turnstile at the station

right by the park where we found Julie's body.

He posted bail an hour ago.

He should be getting to the Queensborough Plaza any minute.

Let's go.

Corrections dump juvies off here like it's a school bus stop.

Hell of a place to start over.

Heads up. Here comes the bus.

Yeah, we see it.

There's Jimmy Mac.

We got him.

There's nobody around him.

Pick him up.

Ezra! Stop!

Ezra, you're going away for a long time.

Stop!

Hey, stop the truck!

Help! I can't get out!

Hey, you! Help!

Hey! Stop the truck! Hey! Stop the truck!

Yo! Yo! Help!

Stop the truck!

I don't want to die like this. Stop!

Yo! Yo, help!

Yo! Hey! Stop the truck!

Get me out! Help!

Hey! Somebody's in there!

Where's my brother?

We ask the questions, punk.

Just tell me if Jadon's all right.

I said no questions.

Don't you understand? No means no.

Maybe not. Him and his brother

did rape and murder Julie Donovan.

I had nothing to do with that.

You're just a wannabe cop killer, huh?

You got things all wrong.

Hey, I don't care how good your grades were or how tough your life was,

you threw it all away when you fired on us.

I wasn't shooting at you.

Oh, really? Then who were you trying to kill?

J-Mac.

I swear I wasn't trying to hurt anyone else, just him.

Why?

It doesn't matter.

Put your head up. We're not done with you.

The boy's the leader of your gang.

Why would you want to whack him?

Jadon and me only joined Corner Hustlers in Rikers

for protection from other gangs.

J-Mac's from the same projects,

so we figured he'd look out for us.

Yeah, a little cat like you must've needed protection.

What, McDonnell take care of you?

Yeah, until me and Jadon got into Island Academy

and started doing well.

We got scholarships to college,

and McDonnell told us to sell drugs on campus.

So you're a drug dealer, too?

We never did it. Jadon told him to get lost.

McDonnell went crazy and said the only way we're leaving the gang

was in a body bag.

Blood in and blood out.

You were gonna kill McDonnell to get out of the gang.

I was gonna kill him 'cause he set my brother up for that girl's murder.

Then why was Julie's blood on your brother's baseball cap?

I don't know.

Maybe she wore his hat home from the party.

You gotta believe me. J-Mac killed Julie.

If J-Mac's the killer, I suppose we gotta let Jadon go.

Really?

For a smart kid, you're really stupid.

Ezra, Jadon confessed.

That's great work, guys.

Thanks, Captain.

Get your files typed and over to Novak

so she can start prepping for trial.

I don't think those boys had anything to do with Julie Donovan's murder.

I swear I didn't see him smoking crack.

I think the real killer died in that garbage truck today.

Well, one brother confessed and the other one tried to shoot you.

What more do you want?

Jadon and Ezra had too much to lose by killing that girl.

Then why would McDonnell want to frame them?

Because he's a psychopath.

He was pissed at the Odami boys for leaving the gang

and making something of themselves.

Pin a murder on them, they're right back in the gutter.

I'm sure that's what the defense is gonna argue,

but we work for the prosecution.

And if they're innocent?

That's for the jury to decide.

That's not good enough for me.

Let it go, Chester.

This case is closed.

I know you're an insomniac, but you ought to go home.

Why are you here this late?

Paperwork for trial.

You gotta watch yourself.

You get too obsessed with these cases, you'll lose more than sleep.

Like what?

Family.

What, are you trying to bust my chops again?

No, I'm dead serious.

This job nearly cost me mine.

Well, I don't have to worry about that.

No family?

Or too many families.

Depending on the day.

You were a foster kid?

You need any help?

You want to risk the Captain getting pissed at you?

Wouldn't be the first time.

All right. In my gut, these boys are innocent,

but I don't know how to prove it.

All right.

A fresh pair of eyes never hurt.

Stop it. What was that burst of light?

Go back.

It's a camera flash.

Does she look pregnant to you?

Yeah.

What's she doing at a frat party?

Taking pictures of Julie?

I've never seen her before.

Take a good look at her.

I got no idea who she is.

I'm trying to help you.

Come on. Look at it. Who is this, Jadon?

Hey, watch yourself.

I'm looking at life, so I'm not worried about taking yours.

Hey, you might not know this, but I'm on your side.

Look, dude. My moms, the state, the schools,

they all failed me and my brother.

I got about this much left of me,

and I'm gonna use it to do this time,

so just leave me alone.

I came up through the foster system.

As soon as I was old enough, I took the police exam.

I don't think I'd pass the background check.

When I was in the academy,

my cousin and I went out drinking, and we got in a fight.

One guy was hurt bad.

My cousin told me to take off.

He knew if I got arrested, I'd get kicked off the job.

What's this bedtime story gotta do with me?

He took the collar for me so I could have a shot.

You did the same thing for your brother.

And if I did, why would I give him up to you?

Because Ezra didn't do it.

It was McDonnell, Jadon.

He set you up.

I want to see Ezra.

Who beat you up?

Doesn't matter. I can handle it.

No, you can't.

Look, why is he here?

I said I did it. Get him out of here.

I know you didn't do it. Why are you saying you did?

Shut up!

How could you think I did it?

Because I came back to the room

two hours later, and you weren't there.

When the cops got my DNA off the hat Julie took,

I figured it was a lucky break.

Better me than you.

So I confessed.

Why?

Every time I pass that flag in the living room

and listen to those rich kids bitch about their perfect lives,

I want to start knocking dudes out.

Maybe it's better I'm locked up

before I do something I regret.

You don't belong in prison.

Who is this?

Look, I wasn't lying, I don't know her.

You confessed to murder.

You're getting sentenced tomorrow.

She may be able to finger McDonnell.

If we don't find her tonight, you're going down for life.

I think I've seen her around Marcy.

What's her name?

No idea.

We gotta find somebody in the projects who can ID her.

I think I know someone who'll talk to us.

Janelle, open up.

It's 2:00 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.

I didn't mean to interrupt your beauty sleep.

I've been working nights.

We know.

Cleaning offices.

And by the grace of God and Narcotics Anonymous,

I got nine days clean and sober.

Well, that's good. Do you know her?

I don't know nothing. I ain't seen nothing, so I can't tell you nothing.

What kind of piece-of-trash mother lets

her kids get taken away over and over again,

and then when she finally gets

a chance to help them, she turns her back?

Don't you dare talk to me like

you know what I've been through.

Every time Children's Services snatched my boys,

it took all I had not to kill myself

the second the door shut behind them.

If you really care about your boys,

you'll tell us who this girl is.

Jadon's in for murder. Ezra's being charged

for attempted murder of a cop.

Tell us who this girl is right now,

or your boys will never see daylight again.

You stole the first half of their lives, give them back the rest.

When I get 90 days clean and sober,

I'm gonna surprise Jadon and Ezra and take them to Red Lobster.

Her name is Latrice Munez.

She lives in the building right behind this one.

Unit 412.

Yeah, I'm Jimmy Mac's bottom bitch.

McDonnell was pimping you out as his number-one girl

with what you're carrying?

You're damn right. Shoot, I still got it.

Tell us about Julie.

She thought being a ho was mad fun,

like being in one of them rap videos hoes or something like that.

How'd you meet up with a white girl from Long Island?

At the fights. She got off watching dudes pounding each other.

So I helped J-Mac turn her out.

Why did you take a picture of her at the frat party?

McDonnell wanted photos of her

having sex with Jadon and Ezra.

For proof he wasn't getting Georgia'd.

Look at you throwing around game, papi,

acting like you know your thing.

Little girl, I was through with it

before you knew what to do with it.

Enlighten me.

If a pimp has sex with a new girl

before she actually turns a trick,

it's called "getting Georgia'd."

It's like the pimp got played.

McDonnell wanted to make sure that Julie did what he said,

so he made me take the pictures.

I picked up Julie at her place.

This was when we was leaving for the party.

She was really feeling Ezra, too.

She was all up on him that night.

She was supposed to do both brothers

and then say that they raped her.

J-Mac was gonna blackmail them for their tuition checks.

Why'd he beat her?

After she had sex with Ezra, we bounced.

Julie told J-Mac that she wasn't gonna say that they raped her.

He just started beating on her like

some type of animal or something, you know?

I never seen him like that before, so I just took the pictures.

Why?

Insurance.

So he'd never come at me like that. Never.

Get Jadon down to court, and I'll have him withdraw his plea.

What about Ezra?

I'll drop the attempted murder charge,

because he wasn't shooting at you,

but there's nothing I can do about the gun possession.

About the gun.

It got lost in transport from the scene.

Without the evidence, I'll have to drop the gun charge, too.

Just make sure they're both in court at the same time.

Stuff happens.

Hey, thanks again.

Hey, no problem.

I talked to the Dean, you guys are back in school.

So that's the big surprise?

No, I have another one.

Hey, Fin, where the hell are you?

We've been waiting.

I'll tell them.

Hey, come on, man.

You gonna tell us what the surprise is, or what?

I'm taking you guys to Red Lobster.

Come on.
