[LUCILLE] Thank you
so much for taking time
out of your busy schedule
to come and pray with us.
[MAN] A family that prays together
stays together, sister.
It's always my pleasure.
Shall we pray?
Boy, you can't pray with
that boy in your hand
in your condition.
Nah, Mama, I'm fine.
I told y'all I'm ready for
things to get back to normal.
Fine or not, you still
gotta stay in the house
for the next few days, doctor's orders.
Yes, sir.
Matthew 18:20 says,
"God is present whenever two or more
are gathered in his name."
[LUCILLE] Yes, Father. Yes.
- Yes.
- Bow your heads.
[LUCILLE] Mm.
[PASTOR] Dear heavenly
father, we love you.
We come to you asking
that you bless this oil.
Cleanse it of all of
its impurities, Father.
- [LUCILLE] Mm.
- [PASTOR] O Father God,
we ask that You bless Brother Terry
[LUCILLE] Yes.
[PASTOR] so he can see clearly
that you would have him
do the work for Your glory.
[LUCILLE] Yes, Lord.
[PASTOR] And this we pray
in the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- Mm-hmm.
- [TERRY] Amen.
[LUCILLE] Amen, amen, amen.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Pastor.
I fixed that railing at the church.
I'm willing to walk you out any time.
Brother, God has smiled on y'all.
Brother Terry, he
survived, spirit is right,
and he's doing a lot better.
Well, his eye got a little worse
- after the second surgery.
- What did the doctor say?
He flopped like a wet suit.
They're doing the best they can.
[PASTOR] Hmm. Mistakes, that's human.
But it'd be a sin if
your son lost his sight
due to negligence.
My niece Karen, she just
graduated from U of M Law.
And she'd be happy to
take a look at your case
on a contingency basis, meaning
I know what contingency means, Pastor.

[CHARLES] Who's that?
[BRYANT] Okay, Terry,
now that you've had
a chance to recuperate,
can you remember anything that happened
on the day you got shot?
No, not really.
Still kind of a blank.
What about the person who shot you,
like what they were wearing
or maybe something they said?
You were seen arriving at the hospital
in a black Mercedes-Benz
with the windows shattered.
Whose car is that?
Teens don't usually get shot
in luxury cars at close range
unless they're in the drug game.
I asked you a question, boy.
It's mine.
My Uncle Troy got it for
me as a baby shower gift.
Does Uncle Troy have a last name?
My son is a stellar
student and a young father
who is the victim of a violent crime.
Why are you talking to
him like he's a suspect?
I'm sorry, Mrs. Flenory.
We are all on the same team here.
It's just that the fact-finding process
can get a little sticky.
I understand that, but
as far as I'm concerned,
this interview is over.

You wanna tell me what
that was back there?
Mama bear protecting her cub.
I'm talking about you.
Me? What? Okay, here's an idea.
Why don't you say what's on your mind
instead of acting like this
your first day out the academy?
You barely pressed that
kid about who shot him
when the whole thing looks retaliatory.
And that bullshit the girlfriend tried
to sell us about the Benz?
- Come on.
- The boy was scared.
He's not gonna talk if he
doesn't feel comfortable.
That's interrogation 101.
What is it about the Flenory boys

[OLDER MEECH] I'm a history buff,
so let me put y'all up on game.
After the '67 riots,
white folks fled the
city for the 'burbs,
making the D "Chocolate City."
In 1973, Detroiters elected
their first Black mayor,
Coleman Young.
I issue open warnings now
to all dope pushers,
to all rip-off artists.
It's time to leave Detroit,
hit 8 Mile Road.
And I don't give a damn
if they're Black or white,
if they wear Superfly suits
or blue uniforms with silver badges.
Hit the road.
[OLDER MEECH] So in the '80s,
when the State Boys
joined the drug fight,
Mayor Young wouldn't let them
patrol inside city limits.
So the state did the next best thing,
they united law enforcement
agencies all around the city.
Remember, Detroit
was the murder capital of
the world in '85 and '86,
right when me and Tee
jumped in the game.
Even though we from the D,
we started off making our money
in River Rouge, Ecorse,
and all the other Downriver communities.
That put us directly in
the crosshairs of DRANO.
