Shots Fired (2017) s01e02 Episode Script

1 ANNOUNCER: Previously on "Shots Fired" MAN: There's been a police shooting of an unarmed man today it's a black cop and a white kid.
I'm Ashe Akino, your investigator.
Preston Terry, your boss.
The governor was just hoping to have a quick word with you.
I am fully behind this investigation.
And in that moment, it was either him or me.
So y'all ain't see nothin' or hear nothin'? No one's got answers for you, because you keep asking the wrong question.
Your son's death was never investigated? The department is obviously corrupt.
MAN: Ashe Akino, you've been served.
JAVIER: You got to talk to my lawyer.
(sighs) Javier? She's the only thing that makes sense.
(grunting) Do you think I'm incapable of doing my job? - No - Then stop trying to do it for me.
Media's a powerful thing.
They can make the guilty innocent, the innocent guilty.
And an unknown pastor a star.
PASTOR JANAE: Let's get both these murdered children the justice they deserve! REPORTER: But what is quite clear are the racist remarks.
I finally got my license to shoot these crackers.
We have got to start putting each other's humanity first.
(engines revving) (tires squealing) (engine stops) (exhales) (sighs): Christian.
Deputy Beck.
I'm the father of the boy you killed.
(cocks gun) Sir I'm sure Jesse was a good kid.
He was a great kid.
Great kids can mess up, too.
My son would never go for your gun.
Just like you'd never shoot a cop? Sir, I'm a father, too.
All right? If anything would happen to my boys, I don't know what I'd do.
- Doesn't matter your boys are fine.
- Listen to me.
I'm not gonna tell you I understand your pain.
I don't.
But you weren't there.
If you ever want to know the truth about what happened that day, you need to drop your weapon now.
(uncocks gun) I do know what really happened.
If our stars don't shine in the darkness Where do we go from here? Do we hold on to the dream regardless? Where do we go From here? Hey, you talk to him? DECLAN: Yeah, listen, Ashe, he wants sole custody and doesn't want to drag Kai through court.
He says he's hoping you'll do what's best for her.
What's best for her? Is he serious? He didn't even want me to have her he tell you that? - Look, give it a day, and this thing - I don't need a day.
He wants sole custody? Then I'm filing a countersuit against him for sole custody.
Ashe, listen I'm not paying you to bitch up file it.
(on voicemail): This is Ashe, leave it here.
(beeps) Hey, it's Preston.
Gonna grab breakfast.
I'll be back in an hour.
WOMAN: You're getting so big.
(children clamoring) Yo, Cory.
Oh.
My bad.
That's dope.
What's it, uh, what's it gonna be? Joey.
So what do you think really happened to him? RUIZ: How's the rookie? (sighs) Jury's still out.
Saw his Sermon on the Mount speech.
Deputy chief is star-struck, but he trusts you.
If you tell him that Black Jesus is in over his head, know that I'm on deck.
I'll let you know.
Morning.
Morning.
Mind if I drive? Whatever.
REPORTER: We're live here at the funeral of Jesse Carr.
He is the white unarmed teenager who was gunned down by a black sheriff's deputy.
Now, as you can imagine, tension's running pretty high after the recent discovery of that sheriff deputy's racist rant caught on videotape.
Yeah, I finally got my license to shoot these crackers.
(laughs) REPORTER: A heartbreaking and certainly controversial video Just turn it off.
an officer of the law who took an oath to serve and protect.
Now, Deputy Beck claims that Jesse Why are people taking pictures of our house? Because you're in it, superstar.
Huh? Now, go get your brother, all right? We're out of here.
Seriously, Kerry.
(television turns off) - Hey.
- What? I love you.
I love you more.
(boys chattering indistinctly) Come on, boys! Let's go! Hut-two, huttwo, hut-two, let's go! (door opens, reporters shouting questions) (door closes) REPORTER: It's a really full house here today.
It's an unbelievable turnout, and the governor has just arrived.
- (reporters clamoring) - Governor.
Governor, what are you feeling right now? Why is the media giving more attention to We got to figure out who leaked that video of Officer Beck.
It changes everything.
Black cop shoots white kid and this video drops.
A little suspicious.
Suspicious or not, he said it.
Could make it a hate crime.
Plenty of white cops called us worse.
Heard it to my face I'm sure Beck has, too.
We're not investigating them.
That's the problem.
Look, whoever leaked this video can speak to Beck's character.
Maybe he had some sort of a racial bias and they're wanting to expose him.
Or maybe they wanted to hurt him, make him look guilty.
He's the only brother in the department.
Maybe they want his ass out.
We both know something ain't right here.
Lieutenant Breeland threatened Shameeka to keep quiet about her son's murder why? Oh, my bad.
That's not a D.
O.
J.
case.
MINISTER: When Jesus died, mourners had to ask themselves, were they going to be better people because Jesus lived? Jesse Carr lived on this Earth for 19 years.
What can you learn about yourself from his life and his untimely death? As you reflect on the life of this young man, ask yourself: will you become a better person or will you not? To honor Jesse and his family, please receive - our friends from Chosen House.
- (piano playing) - Ooh - I'm hurting inside Ooh Won't you please be my guide? - Hey - Give me peace of mind Give me peace of mind Peace of mind Hear me, Lord - Oh, when God - God Calls Home an angel He opens up Heaven's door God calls home An angel I'm holding onto your word Ooh When the final hour has come And it's all said and done He will be in a better place A better place They're gonna crucify him.
- When God - God Calls home an angel Said He opens The door, yeah - Yeah - Lord, I try - I try - Guide me through this Make this right You all right? Yeah.
Keep on trying Roll call! Let's go, Brooks.
Guide me, yeah Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Angel Governor, you're in the middle of a tight reelection race.
How will Jesse Carr's death impact voters? A young man lost his life.
A mother lost her son.
This is a time for prayer, not politics.
- (reporters clamoring) - Governor! Alicia.
What can I do? Your tears are 15 years too late, Randall.
If you have a minute, the governor would like a word.
Sure.
Um, sorry, Ms.
Akino, just Preston.
"Preston," huh? Not "Mr.
Terry"? I've received hundreds of calls asking why Beck hasn't been arrested.
How would you answer? Well, we're still in the early stages of the investigation.
He's on video saying he has a license to kill white people.
The video may speak to motive, ma'am, but it's not grounds for an arrest.
I need to prove he acted willfully beyond a reasonable doubt.
And how long will that take? Ma'am, do you want this done right or do you want this done quickly? I'm expecting you to do both.
If Deputy Beck intentionally victimized Jesse because of bias, he will be indicted.
And if he acted in self-defense, then he'll be cleared.
The truth is my only compass.
That's a nice compass to have.
I don't have the luxury of getting lost.
I'm the first female governor of this state.
Neither do I.
I'd like to invite you to an event tomorrow night as my guest.
I'd be honored, Governor, but my father, - he's, he's in from out of town - The invitation extends to him as well.
Thank you, ma'am.
Well, I'm pleased that the governor came to show her support for Alicia Carr and her son Jesse.
No mother should have to bury a child.
It violates the natural order of things.
But what about the mothers on the other side of town who have buried their sons and their daughters? Will the governor show her support for them? 17-year-old Joey Campbell was murdered three weeks ago, and nothing.
No investigation, no motorcade, no empathy.
So I pose this question to her what about Joey? You're the man from the Department of Justice.
Preston Terry, sir.
Mr.
Dabney.
But everyone around here calls me Mr.
D.
You bring your appetite? How about a salad? (laughs) The only greens we got around here are cooked slow with neck bones.
- This is quite the spot.
- Yeah, my dad opened it.
Between the two of us, we fed three generations in this town.
Dizzy Gillespie, Hank Aaron, and too many mayors to count.
So how does one get on your wall? You got to do a lot more than lock up a black cop.
(sighs) You ever feed Joey Campbell? Every now and then, I had to tell him to pull up his pants, but he was good people.
Anyone have it out for him? I thought you was only here for that white boy.
I thought I was, too.
I'll ask around.
You mind if we keep this between me and you? Then between me and you, I'll see if I can find some lettuce in back.
(fans cheering, shouting) (whistle blows) Time-out! 42, get over here! This is a 25-yarder.
You can do this in your sleep.
- Yes, Coach.
- Go.
Tommy! Your black ass better block her like your life depends on it, 'cause it does! Nothing happens to my daughter.
- Yes, Coach! - Go! (cheering) Hut! (cheering) AKINO: Volunteer coach.
Each one teach one.
What the hell are you doing here? You said you don't go in the box.
Got to be creative.
So what'd you think of Beck's video? I think it's the last time he gets drunk and talks to a camera.
Whoever leaked it wanted to hurt him.
Any ideas? No.
Like you said, y'all are family.
And nobody hurts you like your own.
I'm gonna go celebrate with my team now.
Why did you threaten Shameeka after her son was murdered? Excuse me? Joey Campbell's mother.
- You got some balls on you.
- Thank you.
You got an answer? Joey was a drug dealer and she knew it and she did nothing, and now he is dead.
I don't want to see her other son end up the same way.
I was trying to scare her straight.
Hey.
How you doing? I'm all right.
It's tough, though, man.
Our job is to make it home to our families, no matter what.
Yeah.
- So you want to kill crackers, huh? - The video was a joke.
I ain't laughing.
Mind getting the hell out of my way? No, Beck.
You're in my way.
That's enough, that's enough! That's enough! It's over! It's over! I always knew you were his little bitch, Brooks.
Be safe out there.
It's dangerous.
Well, it ain't the Taj Mahal, but I got you a room with a view, Pop.
I'm sure I'll be comfortable.
Thanks, son.
Why aren't you staying at your brother's place? Oh, he's 45 minutes away.
All right, look, I won't be able to see you once you get down there, so we should grab some breakfast, - chop it up.
- Absolutely.
I want to hear about this new job you got.
Mace said you've just been on TV? I got to tell you, I think this one's gonna be a game-changer, Pop.
- Really? - (hip-hop music blaring) What the hell? - WOMAN: Wow, it's Maceo Terry! - Hey, ladies.
WOMAN: Hi.
- Ha-ha! - What the hell are you doing here? You know I couldn't wait to see you, Pops.
What up? You smell good.
What up, Pres? I thought you were coming by tomorrow.
Yeah, I know, but a signing event popped up.
Whole team's gonna be there if you want to roll, Pops.
Well, now, you know I want to get me a picture with Cam.
Mm-hmm.
But your brother and I are about to grab something to eat.
Nah, it's all right if you want to go, Pop.
- You sure? - Yeah.
Yeah, you're more than welcome to come too, if you want.
Nah, I I got work.
- Ah - We'll talk later? - Yeah, yeah, I'll see you later.
- Can you take care of these for me? Got you.
What up, Pops? Damn, you're looking good! - Hi, Daddy.
- Hey, kiddo.
You all right? - Could be better.
- Let me guess.
There's a party tonight - and your mom said you can't go.
- She called you.
Yep.
I did all my homework and everyone's gonna be there.
No promises, but I will talk to her.
Thanks.
Go on.
What now? Money? At the game, you told Tommy if his black ass didn't block for me that you'd kill him.
It worked, didn't it? That's racist.
Tess I didn't talk to him like that because he's black.
I talked to him like that because he's the biggest guy we have.
And some guys need a foot up their ass, and he is one of them.
- That's it.
- Okay.
(sighs) Now get your white ass to the party.
I can go? I'll tell your mama I called an audible.
EDDIE: Only in America would the Civil Rights Department send two black people to put the noose around a black man's neck and call it justice.
Your son brought his own rope, sir.
BECK: Yeah, uh, I finally got my license to shoot these crackers.
(laughs) That was a happy day.
A family barbecue celebrating his graduation from the police academy.
He was just fooling around and being silly.
Wait, so a family member shot this? We're not the ones trying to lynch him, Mr.
Beck.
The person who leaked the video is.
(sighs) The voice on that video is my nephew, Junior.
- Know where he is now? - I know where he'll be tonight, but you won't be able to find it on any map.
(music playing, indistinct chatter) I'm gonna buy me a shotgun It's gonna have two barrels on it, man (record scratching) And I'll be shooting all night Oh, yeah I ain't lyin', boy, I ain't lyin' Junior! Damn.
I know you? I'm an investigator.
I'm just looking for a conversation.
About what? How much you get for selling that video of your cousin? That ain't polite.
Pretty sure you don't respond to polite.
It's funny, I was getting the same feeling about you.
I'm gonna ask you not to be basic.
Nobody gives up something for nothing.
- Damn! - Ashe! Now, I can break your wrist and they can start calling you "Lefty," - or you can tell me about the video.
- I didn't sell it.
- Your voice was on it, you shot it.
- I lost my phone a year ago.
- Police took it when I was arrested.
- For what? Jaywalking.
Never gave it back.
Ah, damn! Appreciate your time.
You just threatened a potential witness.
He put his hands on me.
I was right there; you weren't in any danger.
Did I pull my gun? No.
I talk trash so I don't have to hurt nobody.
My job is to gather information.
Yours is to fondle it when I'm done.
Look, you don't have to respect me, but you will respect the law.
We do things the right way.
It's my ass on the line, not yours.
Everything's been deleted contacts, photos, videos, everything.
Junior wouldn't have done that.
Doesn't make any sense.
Made sense to somebody.
Well, the report says the arresting officer was Beck's boy, Caleb Brooks.
You wanted to see me? You were the one who arrested Junior.
You took his phone, pulled the video off, but not before leaking it to the press.
- Why? - I didn't release it to the press.
But if someone were to accidentally delete the data off his phone, I wouldn't be upset.
What he said was a joke.
I'm sure you've said one or two dumb-ass things in your life.
The difference is it ain't playing on a loop.
Who had access to the video before it was accidentally deleted? I don't know.
But if Josh is some racist black cop, then how come he and I are best friends? Close your eyes, Daddy, okay? It's a secret handshake.
(clapping) BOTH: I love you.
(clapping) Bam! (Kai speaking indistinctly) Your father had second thoughts about attending? Not at all, Governor; he's meeting me here.
- Oh, good.
- How are you, Doc? Oh, never better, Jake.
I'd like you to meet Preston Terry from the Department of Justice.
I didn't do it, I swear.
And of course you know Sheriff Platt - and the good Reverend DuPont.
- How you doing? Let's see, a doctor, a sheriff, and a reverend.
There's got to be a joke in there somewhere.
- (laughter) - There must be.
Excuse me.
Standing 8:45 tee time at Crystal Lake.
If you can spare the time.
I should warn you, I've been known to prosecute anyone who beats me.
(laughs) Right.
(tapping glass) Thank you.
Come on, come on in.
You're all welcome.
(clears throat) When my father came here to this country from Belarus, he could neither read nor write.
But he could work, and he worked hard enough so that he could buy the piece of land that he passed down to me.
On the signature line, there is an X, because my dad never learned how to write his own name.
I think of how proud he must be about the freedoms this country has provided for his son.
- Yeah.
- Yes.
Now, I'm standing in the middle of my most ambitious project to date.
(laughter) Here, we have a state-of-the-art hospital on-site, and here, we have a farm.
This facility will hold one of the best high school, college, and trade schools in this region.
(applause) Our prisoners will not leave here recriminalized; they will leave here revitalized.
Between construction and staff, this correctional facility will bring thousands of jobs to this state.
(applause) I know a lot of you are investors, so hold your applause until we get the first-quarter P&Ls.
(laughter) Now, you know how much I love the spotlight, but, um, you didn't pay $25,000 a plate to hear me talk.
We are here to support Governor Patricia Eamons.
(applause) Thank you.
Thank you! (phone buzzes) EAMONS: 25 grand a plate? Hope you all brought Tupperware.
(laughter) - I want to thank Arlen - Pops, where you at? Your brother had a bad game.
That happens.
Two fumbles.
Crowd got on him pretty tough.
Let me get his head right.
- I'll call you back.
- When I took over this state, unemployment was at nine percent, and I said, "Unacceptable.
Only reason she wanted me there was to show her rich donors she has a D.
O.
J.
prosecutor in her pocket.
Then why accept the invitation? Because I belong there.
You know, you could make or break the governor's re-election.
Oh, so is that what you're doing? Keeping me close? You made the first move, so maybe it's you who's keeping me close.
Because really, this case could make or break you.
People may think I'll break, but I won't.
People Are we talking about anyone in particular? Well, if they're not here, they don't matter.
- Hey.
- Hey.
What up, flawless? You looking for your brother? Actually, I found exactly who I'm looking for.
You get my flowers? Yes, yeah, thank you.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
So you gonna have me standing in the hallway like this? Come on, let me in.
Mace, you got talent, no doubt about that.
But I ain't looking to put a ring on it.
And I didn't think you were either.
(laughs) You're playing with me, right? I'm really not.
Damn, so you really do got issues, huh? And it ain't so sexy when I'm sober, either.
Mm, so I got issues 'cause I don't want to smash twice? No, whatever, girl, if you want to act like a random groupie chick, I'm gonna treat you like a random groupie chick.
Kind of hard when you're standing outside my door.
17-year-old Joey Campbell was murdered three weeks ago, and nothing no investigation, no motorcade, no empathy.
So I pose this question to her: what about Joey? 10,000 views already.
Over 1,000 likes.
Pastor Janae has publicly called me out.
What do you know about her? She's a spoiled little girl who got her feelings hurt because I wouldn't let her speak from my pulpit.
Do any women speak from your pulpit? (chuckles) I'm old-school, Governor, guilty as charged.
But I wouldn't worry about her.
She does not have a solid foothold in the black community.
Sarah? What she does have is 40,000 followers on Twitter, 70,000 on Instagram, and 20,000 on Snapchat.
Since she brought Alicia Carr and Shameeka Campbell together, her numbers have quadrupled.
If you're no longer the voice of your community, why am I such an avid supporter of your various not-for-profit activities? Social media does not compare to the power of TV.
I'll call my friends at the local news.
I know the game.
I know my people.
PASTOR JANAE: Here we are on the steps of the courthouse, where justice claims to be blind.
She sure is.
Justice heard Jesse Carr loud and clear, but what about Joey? (murmuring agreement) So today, we go beyond justice to the power that controls her, and to that power, we say - Whose power? - PROTESTERS: Our power! - What power? - This power! - Whose power? - Our power! - What power? - Get out of here! - Whose power? - Our power! - What power? - This power! - Whose power? - Our power! - What power? - This power! We're here to help, Pastor Janae.
Where were you two years ago, Brother DuPont, when I asked for your guidance? Oh, that's right.
No cameras were around back then.
If it wasn't for me, you'd still be drinking from the "colored only" fountain.
And we all know how much you love drinking from that white fountain.
- (laughs) - MAN: What you gonna do for Joey, Rev? I am so proud of you and your efforts.
May I pray with you, sister? Of course.
Dear Heavenly Father, please Please let us know you are with us, right now in this moment.
Let there be no doubt, Lord, that we are in the midst of a calling.
You put us here.
Your purpose is clear.
You are no longer Christ the tranquilizer; you are Christ the energizer, Christ the revitalizer.
Anger is not a sin.
I say unto you again, anger is not a sin.
In fact, anger in the face of racism and injustice and false prophets is not a sin, but a weapon.
Guide us to use this weapon to serve you well.
We are your humble, angry servants of God! Let the people of God say PROTESTERS: Amen! - (cheering) - Yeah.
We with you Pastor.
MAN: We're gonna fight for Joey! We want justice! Leading prayer is one thing.
Leading people is another.
(chuckles) - Whose power? - PROTESTERS: Our power! - What power? - This power! - Whose power? - Our power! - What power? - This power! - Whose power? - Our power! - What power? - This power! - Whose power? - Our power! Don't.
Don't even.
I used to hate the dudes who worked security at the roller rink.
We used to drop firecrackers on the floor just to mess with them.
(laughing) Wait 'til you're married with kids.
You're gonna work two jobs, too.
Yeah, well, she wants to see your best man speech, you know, just time it out.
What? Anna don't want to see a damn thing.
You want to see it 'cause you're afraid I'm gonna say something dumb.
Hey, the last speech you made at a party is on the news now.
Oh, that's cold.
- That's so cold.
- (laughs) BROOKS: There he is.
Hey, cuzzo, let me talk to you for a second.
Hey, yo! Get up! Get up! What'd I do?! The hell you do with that video, huh? Nothing! Then how'd it get leaked? Ask your boy; he the one that took my phone.
You made copies, right? You pull it off the cloud or something? Josh, you really gonna trust this white boy over me? You about to turn me into the killer you got these people thinking I am.
How much you get paid for it, huh? All right, cuz, here's the truth.
I didn't leak it, but I wish I did, 'cause you deserve everything that's coming to you.
I deserve everything that's coming to me?! - Get off me, man! - MAN: Hey, what's going on out there? Junior, you all right? (blues music playing) You looking for another salad? Nah.
I think I'm gonna live a little.
Side of yams.
(chuckling) You hear anything about Joey? No, not Joey, but another boy.
Cory no one's seen him.
How long has he been gone? Ever since he talked to you.
I hope you're here to tell me you figured out Deputy Beck is a solid officer.
Grand jury judges character.
I assemble facts.
Facts used to put people in front of the grand jury.
Fair enough.
By the way, someone with information about the Joey Campbell murder has gone missing.
A young kid named Cory.
I thought you were here for Jesse Carr.
Why are you looking at Joey Campbell? I was just in The Houses getting statement signatures and someone brought it up, that's all.
Son, don't burn the people trying to help you.
I'm not burning anyone.
I'm just letting you know a kid's missing.
You don't walk into the boss's office and accuse him of not doing his job.
So you do know Cory is missing? I'll tell you what.
Write down the specifics and I'll get into it.
ASHE: So how you holding up? SHAMEEKA: All right, I guess.
Taking care of Shawn helps, though.
And who's taking care of you? Joey used to think it was his job, taking care of me.
Shawn takes care of me now, just by being himself, making me smile.
Anyway.
How about you? You got any babies? A daughter.
Mm, a girl.
Lucky.
Keep her close.
Can I ask you something? You, you said you heard there were some witnesses.
Have any come forward? Um, a lady named Kiana, a few buildings over.
Told some people she was there when they took my boy.
I went over there to talk to her, but she moved out.
Ain't say nothing to nobody.
She just, just gone.
(line rings) It's Declan.
Hey, you speak to Javier's lawyer? Yeah, he's not backing down.
(sighs) He's bluffing.
There's a court date set.
Ashe, did you throw a vase at his girlfriend? I wasn't trying to hit her.
I didn't hit her.
He's saying you refuse to get help for emotional trauma you suffered on the job.
He's seeking to characterize you as an unfit mother.
Listen to me, Ashe, unless you show the court you're working to fix these issues, you're gonna lose your child.
- Ashe, did you hear me? - (beep) PRESTON: What are you doing here? Came here to see you.
How's Mace? Well, he'll bounce back.
I'm sorry I didn't make it to your party.
I would've done the same for you.
Your whole world revolves around Maceo.
I seem to remember coming to all your high school games.
A college recruiter sat in our living room and said, "I expect to see you in the World Series someday.
" I tend to think I had something to do with that.
You did.
But I am the lead prosecutor for the Department of Justice on a case that can impact this entire town, maybe even the whole country.
And I'm sorry I never chose the path you chose for me, but this is the World Series.
You kicked ass in school, Preston.
I always knew that you were going to put the books to use.
But with your physical gifts, the suit and tie were supposed to come after the rings.
That was the plan.
Not mine.
I am so proud of you.
Not just as my son, but as a man.
But all due respect, Preston, there's only one World Series.
Beck went through the academy without incident.
His best friend is white.
In spite of the video, Jesse's death wasn't about race.
What if being the Jackie Robinson of the Gate Station Sheriff's Office wasn't everything he thought it would be? Maybe when he shot the video, he was joking, but after a couple years on the job, his worldview changed.
Your worldview change after Yale? Same as it was before.
The world is mine.
Mm, Yale and Illmatic.
Don't see that every day.
Your worldview change after becoming a cop? It shifted.
But what doesn't change is needing to be able to trust your partner.
You don't work another case behind your partner's back.
You questioned Sheriff Platt about a witness in the Joey Campbell case, and he notified the bosses.
What the hell were you thinking? I was thinking he'd notify the bosses.
I don't have the clout to bring the Joey Campbell case to them myself.
So you got the sheriff to get it on the books.
I was banking on you covering for me.
- That was risky.
- Not really.
You questioned Shameeka behind my back.
I called her 15 minutes after you left.
(sighs) So now what? (sighs) I think Beck's a good cop in a bad department.
You think Beck shot Jesse over race.
We need to work both cases: the case we were assigned to work and the case nobody wants to touch.
May not be the best career move, with your ass on the line and all.
I'm in.
Jesse's case and Joey's.
No more going behind each other's backs.
We have to trust each other.
(inaudible) Hey, how you doing? Damn, man.
You seen a kid named Cory, or a woman named Kiana who lives down the street? We're trying to find out what really happened to Joey Campbell.
- Y'all talk to Pastor Janae? - Why? She patrols The Houses with some of the dudes from her church.
A few weeks ago, she found out Joey was hustling, had him tuned up.
She had them put hands on him? Cops ain't the only ones around here people scared of.
(door creaks) Pastor.
There's a Sarah Ellis on the phone.
Says she works for Governor Eamons.
(door creaks) It's very kind of you both to open your home to me.
It's much appreciated.
Well, I hope you saved room for dessert.
If you force me.
(laughs) I'm gonna go check on the boys, okay? Hey, sir, uh, thank you for spending time with us.
It really means a lot.
Seriously.
Look.
Josh, listen, I respect you too much to beat around the bush.
The police union is dropping you.
- What? - Your video, coupled with everything that's been going on, they don't want to look like they condone what you said.
I'm sorry, son.
You still got your job.
But they won't cover your legal fees.
Hey, you're all right.
Okay.
Feels like I'm losing control Josh? Eyes wide open Feels like I'm awake, I know the truth I'm at your mercy 'cause you've chosen To ignore what I'm going through
