[ENGINE TURNS OFF]
JJ: Hey.
Hey, wait, wait. Kansas, Kansas.
What's your plan?
- I have to get rid of the gun.
I have to turn myself in.
- No, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait, you--
no, you can't, you can't,
you can't-- to-to the cops?
You can't do that.
- Well, there's no-- I mean,
there's no other choice.
- Um, yeah, Kansas, uh, did you not see
what happened to us when
we weren't even doing anything?
Okay? It's a little bit different now
that you-you put a gun
to an officer's fucking head.
- I mean
He was hurting you.
What else was I supposed to do?
- I know, and I appreciate that, but
We can't just go
to a fucking police station
and say, "Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I almost shot a police officer."
It doesn't work like that.
- What other choice do we have?
What else?
Okay, we have to go in there,
we're gonna, we're gonna explain it,
and-and they'll understand.
- Oh, will they?
[LAUGHS]
Spoken like a true white person.
They don't have to st--
understand shit. Okay?
I mean, you saw, you saw
what he did to me.
You need to wake the fuck up.
Okay?
You can't just click your little red heels
and everything's gonna be okay,
because it won't.
That's not how this film ends.
- Fine. I'll go myself.
- Right. Because that's been
working out really well for you.
[SIREN WAILING]
We got to go. Come on.
[CAR DOOR OPENS]
Come on.
NEWSWOMAN: L.A., a city under siege tonight,
on the heels of the brutal stabbing murder
of a mother of five in East Hollywood,
an LAPD officer was shot
to death off the 110 freeway
at point-blank range while
handcuffed to his motorcycle
in what looks like
a gangland-style execution.
The assailant's vehicle was
caught on a red light camera,
a blue 2012 Trans Am,
license plate 5-P-C-I-1-1-7

and it's gonna be okay.
