Just 15 seconds more.
You're almost there.
Three, two, one.
Okay, recover.
Man, I am tired.
Kicked my butt.
Hey, you guys hung in pretty good.
I'm exhausted.
- Yeah, I know. He was gettin' it. - Right?
I saw you, Shannon.
- That was good. So good. - All right.
- Well, I'll see y'all at the station. - Okay.
Hey, good class, everybody, all right?
- Yeah, it was. - I'll see you later.
Bye.
Phew.
Don't know how I let you talk me into that shit.
'Cause you love me.
No, no, I talked him into it.
- What? - Thank you, Kevin.
Welcome.
- Ah, you ladies killed it, though. - Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Hey, Fela.
Hey, what's wrong with you?
I don't like talking to people when I'm covered in sweat.
Sorry.
No, I'm-I'm sorry.
And, uh, for the record, you look beautiful.
Yeah. My husband thinks so, too.
Okay.
- Mm. - Uh, y'all have a great day.
- Later. - Yes, sir.
- All right, man. Good stuff. - Good job.
I'll see you later.
Damn, Fela.
I don't like him.
That's obvious.
All right, I'm-a go home, whip up some breakfast before you got to go to work.
Oh, no, let's all go to Mamma M's for breakfast.
What's wrong? You don't like my cooking now?
- No, you cook for me every morning. - That's right, 'cause I love you.
I love your cook--
Mm, I love your cooking.
- Mamma M's. - A'ight.
- Mamma M's. - All right.
- Don't invite Kevin. Mm. - I won't.
Girl, don't look at me like that.
- What? - I am so tired of Kevin.
Girl, every morning, he comes in here with mostly women and rides in the back.
It feels like he's just watching our asses the whole time.
He's a good guy, okay?
I've worked on a couple cases that he was the lead officer on,
- and he means well. - I don't like him.
Gonna tell me I look great?
- Girl, look at me. - What are you talking about?
You look beautiful.
Yeah, well, I wish Rodney thought so.
What?
You have an incredible man.
Rodney adores you.
Okay, Marley, I can't talk to you about him
because he can do no wrong in your eyes, so--
No, I'm sorry.
He's like my big brother, but...
What is it?
Has he said anything to you?
I know how close you guys are.
No, what... what is it?
Nothing.
But I really got to get home so I can get to the station, so--
No, we really got to get to breakfast right now.
We're going to breakfast, and I'm gonna text him right now,
- and we're gonna talk about this. - Okay, don't do that.
- No, I'm gonna text him right now. - No.
Marley.
Oh.
Already done.
I'll see you both at breakfast.
Mamma M's.
- You are such a lawyer. - I am.
I am. I love you.
Mamma M's.
Yeah, yeah. Sure.
♪ Remember when you told me...
I didn't know your ass was gonna be here.
I don't know why I keep letting her force us to hang out like this.
Might have a talk with her ass.
What, you think I know or something?
♪ Love is not enough, don't blame it on us...
- Hey! - Oh. Hey.
- I'm so glad you got my text. - Yeah.
So...
- what's going on? - What do you mean?
We all haven't had breakfast together in a while.
We used to love coming to this place.
No, I think you and Fela are up to something.
No, we're not.
- So, you going running? - Yeah.
So I probably won't be eating too much.
- Hey. - Mm.
- Hey. - Hey.
Sorry, guys. I don't have much time.
I have to get to the station, and you have to get out on that run, huh?
Yeah.
You're not gonna kiss her?
Why you busting my balls?
- What? - And what did you tell her?
Why are we here?
We're here to have breakfast together.
Somebody gonna come clean?
All right.
I know that you love each other.
Now, I don't know what is going on,
but something is going on, and one of you should tell us.
- We're fine. - Right.
Fine is not good enough.
All right, so anyways, I introduced you two eight months ago,
so when are you guys getting married?
Mm.
Don't do that. Don't turn this around on me.
No, but first, you said it would be when you helped him win his case.
- Now it's, I mean-- - Fela.
No, no.
I'm-I'm not.
She's still got some trust issues.
Oh, well, if you understood who her ex was, you'd get it.
Oh.
Okay, so...
Now, can we order?
'Cause I really need to get to the station.
- All right, I'm starving. - Let's order.
All right, you guys see this red area? This is all high-crime.
You understand? The darker the red, the higher the crime rate.
All these purple dots represent gang areas.
All the little... little blue dots you see,
those are all the murders in the area in the last seven days,
so I ain't got to say it-- it's gonna be a tough task.
Hit the lights.
Last week, we had several attacks between Daily and Ridge Street alone.
Now, I know some of you are just graduating the academy,
but let me tell you something-- this is no time to get comfortable, all right?
You cannot relax.
This right here, this isn't simulated.
People, this is real life, and it can be life or death.
Now, the chief has been getting calls from Mayor Johnson.
Mayor Johnson's been calling me, putting pressure on me,
so you know what that means-- I got to put pressure on you.
I want y'all to get out there, I want y'all to be safe,
but let's see if we can help change this area.
All right? All right.
Come on! Let's go. Let's get to it.
Everybody, have a great day!
All right, I'll see you out there.
Have a good one, man. Yeah. I'm-a call you about that one thing, too.
Okay. Have a good one. Have a good one.
Yeah, yeah. Have a good one, have a good one.
Get to it, get to it, get to it. That's right.
All right, now. Good to see you again.
Hey, hey, hey. Let me talk to you.
Hold-hold-hold on, okay?
You're field training officer today.
- Uh, okay. - Yeah.
Um, I thought I was working with Officer Dabney.
Nah, we talked about it.
Just thought it'd be a good idea if you worked with me today.
Um, okay.
Um, did I do something wrong?
Nah, you didn't do anything wrong, man.
I just, you know, been watching you.
Yeah, I know you come from a small-town station, right?
- Yes, sir. - Let me tell you something about this city, man.
It will chew you up. It'll spit you out.
You got to be ready on the draw no matter what.
Cop yells, "Gun," you shoot.
- You know that, right? - Yes, sir.
Okay.
Did he say that I wasn't ready?
No, no. He had good things to say about you, man.
I just want you to... I want you to be your best.
All right, you got great potential. Great potential.
- Thank you, sir. - You're welcome.
Just consider me a partner.
Go about your day like it's any other day.
- I'll meet you by the car. - Yes, sir.
All right, man. It's gonna be a great day.
Yes, sir.
And then we'll cut to that flying mailman segment.
Got it.
Okay, we do have the remote cooking segment
with Chef Gene today from his house, but he did send food.
That's warming up for you now.
Fela, don't give me that look. Just one small bite, please.
Oh, no. I did not burn all those calories this morning
- just to put them back on with his food. - Okay. All right.
- Hey, don't forget. - Yeah, I got it, I got it.
Stand by.
- We're live in 60. - No, you don't.
Come on, Lindsey, you can't send me out here
- looking like this. - We're live in 60.
Okay, people, we're live in one minute.
Long night? You never drink coffee.
Kids, nightmares and so on.
Thirty seconds.
I love the colors, by the way.
- Okay, we're on in ten. - Why, thank you.
- It's springtime. - And ten.

Hello?
Hello, Ms. Deloris?
Yes. Who is this?
I'm sorry. You don't know me, but--
I'm not falling for any scams, if that's what this is.
No, no, no, no.
I live just behind the fence from you,
and I saw a Black man in a hoodie walking outside behind your house.
What?
You should call 911.
Nine-one-one. What's your emergency?
Hi. Uh, I need the police.
What seems to be the problem?
Yes, uh, someone is breaking into my neighbor's house.
Okay, and are--
He's a Black man.
All right, what's the address?
The address is 2343 Marson Street.
- You should hurry. - Yes, ma'am. We'll get you an ETA.
I'm gonna let you off with a warning this time, man, but slow down.
I know. I know. I know. I know.
I got to go. I got to go. A'ight, bye.
She was 30 over.
Should've let me give her a ticket.
You trying to get some discipline out these folks, man?
Mm-mm. Ticket would've taken too long.
We in a rush?
You a wise guy?
Uh, no. Not at all, sir. I just...
I mean, we're in the area with the least amount of crime.
Ah.
Think you complaining, rookie. You complaining?
No, sir, it's just...
What? Say it.
This morning, you talked about all the crime on the Southside.
- Uh-huh. - But we're here,
where crime's a child vandalizing a building.
I mean... I think I could really be of help, sir.
Oh, you want to crack some heads?
You want to crack some heads?
- No, sir. That's not what I'm saying. - You want to crack some heads. Yes, you do.
Hey, let me tell you something.
You ain't ready for that side of town, rookie.
There were meth labs where I come from, sir.
Meth labs?
That's big shit.
Yeah, I'm ready.
Huh. Okay.
Let's see how you do today, and we'll consider it.
All right?
- Yes, sir. - All right.
...2343 Marson Street...
Oh, oh, look at that.
You might see some action after all.
This is 99. Copy.
We're half block away and en route.
- Copy that. - Ooh.
Yeah.
Now, that doesn't sound like a teenager
vandalizing anything here.
Back there.
- Ma'am, it's all right. Where is he? - He-he's still in there.
- He's in there? Okay. - Yeah, back there.
Hey, you go back. I go front. Go, go, go.
- Go. - You stay here, ma'am. Stay here.

- Well, that certainly looks great, Gene. - Mm-hmm.
But Shannon will be having my portion.
She's watching her figure for no reason.
Hey, easy for you to say.
- Hey, I-- - Women, men just don't get it.
- I have to work out, too. - Yeah, okay.
- In other news-- - Yeah, before I lose this battle.
And your life.
As we shift gears here,
we are getting reports of a shooting in the Ragdale community.
We have a field reporter on the way to the scene,
but The Post is reporting-- and we can't confirm this story,
but according to their reporting, there has been
another shooting of an unarmed Black man.
The man was shot today by a rookie Chesterfield Police officer.
The shooting victim has been identified as 36-year-old Rodney Black...
Cut to commercial now. Cut to commercial right now.
Commercial. Now.
We'll be right back after this commercial break.
Clear.
I need you to talk to them about a settlement
because they should be the ones dealing with this, not me.
Um...
I'm gonna meet you up there. Okay.
Hey, Tony.
What is it?
- Excuse me, Doctor? - Yes.
Right this way.
Hey, hey. Hey, hey.
They shot him.
I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
What did the doctor say?
We're waiting.
Kevin, what the fuck, man? You were there.
Yes, I was there. I was training a rookie cop. White kid, man.
Shit, man.
I'm so sorry this happened, dawg. I-I-- You know, I-I--
What happened?
Which one of you sons of bitches shot my husband?!
Was it you?
- It wasn't. - He was a good man.
- Fela, it was an accident. - You're supposed to be a good cop, huh?
Hey.
She's finally asleep.
Look, you guys really don't have to stay here.
No, we should be here for her.
No, not this. We got it.
There's nothing for you to do right now.
What we can and what we will do is report on every bit of this
until we get to the bottom of why this keeps happening.
Well, when I'm done suing the city on her behalf,
there won't be a stone unturned.
You'll know it all.
I started doing my own investigating.
Just, um, trying to get any information I can,
and just trying to just figure it out, you know?
Well, you being a former cop,
I'm sure you can get intel most of us can't.
Still a hell of a blue wall.
I'm on the outside looking in now that I'm a P.I.
So I tell you what-- I know we don't know each other,
but I could really use your help.
Well, you know, Sam here, he runs the best investigative team in local news.
- Yeah? - That's right.
Look, if there's something to find, I promise you guys,
okay, me and my team, we'll... we'll find it.
Great. That's great.
- I left my number. - Okay.
- Mine's there, too. - Okay.
Yeah, can you just let us know if there is anything you need,
anything you need us to do?
Absolutely.
- Hey, thank you again, man. - Thank you. Thank you so much.
Really appreciate you.
I appreciate you, man.
- I'm so sorry. - Thank you.
Yeah.
Let's take a load off.
I know.
I'm gonna bury the son of a bitch.
How the hell did this happen?
I am so damn tired
of these white officers killing us,
getting away with it.
I know.
You put ten years in that station.
They fired you over some bullshit.
I got to get on this.
Look.
I know how close you and Rodney were.
We all do.
We all know that.
Look at me.
It's okay to take a little bit of time for yourself to grieve.
I don't have time to grieve.
What did Kevin say?
Everybody's saying it's justified.
How is killing an unarmed man justified?
I'm just telling you what the department told me.
All right, none of it's official. It's...
just whispers, but...
No way. No way.
Just put your lawyer cap on for a second, okay?
They're saying he looked suspicious.
It's the first thing they go off.
And they're saying his cell phone looked like a gun.
It's bullshit. It's 'cause he's a Black man.
He was jogging.
In an alley between two houses?
I mean, why would he be in the alley between a couple houses
none of us have ever heard about? That don't sound--
And then the lady next door called 911.
Well, who lives there?
I don't know. I'm-a find out tomorrow, though. I'll tell you that.
No, it doesn't matter.
That doesn't justify murdering him.
No, it doesn't.
I need to get answers.
I'm gonna file a motion to get that body cam footage in the morning.
Okay, well, let's just handle the funeral first.
Okay?
We will handle that first.
Fela. No.
You need to get the hell out of here. You understand me?
- I don't know what-- - You think this is appropriate?
I'm burying my husband, and you show up here?
- Fela, I was just telling them that... - I'm sorry.
...we got this.
You know, this is exactly why
you and your new station, you guys suck.
- No, no. - They killed him!
The white officer murdered my husband, and this is his funeral!
You want to spread the word?
Spread the word that no Black man is safe in this city.
None!
And I'm mad as hell, and I won't take this.
I won't!
Get out of here!
Guys happy? You good?
You got your sound bite, right?
Now, get the hell out of here.
Go!
Hey, Tony. Hey.
- Excuse me. Hey. - Kevin, you do not need to be here.
Now, you need to let me give you a call later
and get the hell out of here before she sees you.
- Right now? - You're not even dressed right.
Come on, man. I just want to tell her that I'm sorry, dawg.
Have you ever heard of bad timing?
- What the hell are you doing here? - Uh, I just...
I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am.
Fuck you and your sorry!
What am I supposed to do now? That was my husband.
You and that racist piece of shit killed him.
You're both responsible.
Both of you.
Get out.
Get out!
Kevin, get the fuck out, man.
I'm-a go ahead and walk him out.
Just wanted to say I was sorry.
Uh, excuse me. Thank you.
Um, I just... you know, what I was saying was that I wouldn't have let it happen.
You know what I'm saying? And I feel like hell.
Yeah, well, you didn't shoot him.
No, I didn't shoot him, but I... I chose to ride with him.
You know what I'm saying?
Because he was from some small, like, all-white town.
You know, but I knew he was a hothead. You know what I'm saying?
Like, I knew that he was a hot--
You used to be a cop. You know how it go.
Was it as clean as I'm hearing?
'Cause I'll tell you what-- it better be clean.
- It was clean. - It better be clean.
It was clean, okay?
Why do I feel like there's a "but"?
Because I just...
I just... I know Marley is gonna go for the... for the city, man.
I don't want another stain on the department,
especially after how they treated you.
Look, this isn't about me, all right?
Uh, a stain? Really?
This is my friend's life you're talking about here,
- so watch your mouth and show a little respect. - Okay. I'm sorry.
I know. I'm sorry, okay? But I'm hearing some stuff about this...
this-this Caleb kid that shot him, okay?
Like, some really bad shit.
Like what? What'd he do?
There was just... I'm just hearing some rumors.
But you're a P.I. now. You find it.
Well, well, tell me where to look.
- I got to go. - Hey.
- I got to go. - Kevin.
I don't know how I'm gonna do this.
We're here for you.
I know.
But how am I supposed to...
He took care of everything.
What will I do for money?
He didn't have insurance,
a-and the gyms weren't doing well, girl, like...
We were in so much debt.
I can't afford this, especially without him.
- Yeah. - And I'm not cut out for this.
Like, I'm not gonna be able to do it.
Hey, you don't have to worry about that.
By the time I am done with the city,
you will have more money than you know what to do with.
I did it for Tony when he was unjustly fired,
and I will do the same thing for you.
You only got $300,000 for Tony.
Because that was the max that I could get in his case.
Fela, this is different.
You will be fine financially.
I promise you.
It'll take forever.
I'm not so sure.
This city is on edge.
And from what you said to that reporter,
I think it's gonna get bad.
I was mad.
I'm not judging you-- it's how we both feel-- but...
...might help with your settlement.
I hope so.
Hey, baby.
Hey.
Uh, made you some breakfast.
In case you're hungry.
Thanks.
It ain't much, but, uh, I made it with love.
She told me she doesn't want me to stay over there anymore.
She just wants me to stay home.
That'd be great for me.
I missed you.
I'd love to be able to see you, check on you.
I, uh...
I'm okay.
No, you're not.
I know you. You loved him, too.
I understand.
I know, but...
...she should let me be there for her.
I think she might just need some time,
you know, to be able to grieve the way that she wants to.
You know how she is.
I'll just... I'll make sure to keep checking on her.
Rodney didn't have life insurance.
She said that they've been struggling financially, so...
Huh.
And she won't make it.
Did you know that?
I mean, you know Rodney.
That boy's ego would never let him tell me nothing.
He told me everything.
I don't know why...
I really don't know why he didn't tell me that.
We may have to loan her some money.
Well, I mean, you know most of the...
the money from that settlement is gone, but...
I mean, I-I don't... I don't mind sharing what we have left.
Sure.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Of course. - Thank... thanks.
That's why I love you.
I know... I really know that that was hard on you,
but if you never had that issue with the department,
then Fela would've never introduced us, and...
...I wouldn't have you right now.
I got to get dressed.
I'm meeting the city attorney today.
All right, babe, well, just be careful when you go downtown.
I mean, that shit look like it's gonna be bad.
Violent protests over the shooting death
of Rodney Blackburn continue for the fourth consecutive day.
Protesters are now taking to blocking streets
and obstructing entrances of businesses.
A spokesperson for the protesters say
they want to see murder charges brought against the officer.
As of yet, no charges have been brought.
With protesters chanting "no more killing" in the background,
the spokesperson said that they are asking the mayor to get involved
or the protests will continue.
Officer Caleb Kaine remains on leave while the investigation continues.
Marley, thank you for coming to see me.
Let me start by saying I am sorry this happened,
and on behalf of the mayor's office,
- we'd like to-- - Ina. Ina.
Cut the formalities.
Don't bullshit me.
- Not what I was trying to do. - Good. Let's get to business.
You know that I am coming for it all,
and it would be great if we didn't have to play this out in court...
...in public, but I will.
I know you will, but you may want to be careful.
Don't threaten me.
I'm not threatening you.
I'm just saying you don't know all the facts.
The facts are that he is dead
and your white officer killed him.
You not... Did you not see the protesters outside?
I mean, I'm sure you heard 'em.
I have.
And I also saw your client's stunt on the news.
Stunt? Her husband is dead.
What I mean is she is a savvy news reporter.
She knew exactly what that would do, and look what happened.
What's happening is that people are outraged
about this happening over and over and over again.
I didn't ask you here to argue about this.
Good. Then you should have Mayor Johnson issue a settlement
so that you can get this over with as soon as possible.
I don't think it's gonna be that simple.
Is that why you haven't released the body cam footage?
You don't want the world to see what he did?
Marley, I know this is hard for you--
Ina.
Where's the body cam footage?
We're releasing it in the coming days.
The officer is on administrative leave, and Internal Affairs is investigating.
So is the state attorney.
But, Marley, it looked like a gun to me.
I'm telling you, if I were out there, I would've made the same call.
Even if he was a white man?
Police! Put your hands up!
Put your hands up!
Gun! Gun!
Call an ambulance!
Call an ambulance! [breathing sharply]
It's a phone.
- Call an ambulance! - All right, all right.
Come on. Come on.
- Call an ambulance! - All right, all right.
- Marley. - He's still breathing. I can do it. I can fix it.
- He's still breathing. He's still breathing. - Get up! Get up!
He can make it, man.
Marley, I know this is hard for you--
- really, I do... - It's a phone.
It's a goddamn phone.
...but you're looking at it.
Look at the phone case.
It's... it's huge.
It's black. It's unusual.
I'm sorry.
Marley?
I can tell you this.
The DA is considering pressing charges against the officer
but not because we think it's wrong.
It's for the city.
This is political.
The police union is coming out in support of the officer.
They're releasing a statement saying they think the shooting was justified.
So, I'm telling you all of this so you know,
if you sue civilly, we will defend this vigorously.
Good.
'Cause that's how I like to fight.
You should consider handing this off to someone else at your firm.
You are too close.
And you should know what kind of battle you have on your hands.
You know me.
By the time I'm through, the entire state
will be begging to settle.
Do you understand?
Marley, you may want to ask what he was doing in that alleyway.
Blaming the victim.
- That what we're doing now? - No.
That's new.
I'm preparing a case.
So am I.
See you out there.
- Hey. - Hey, baby, I missed your call. You there?
I-I saw the body cam footage.
Shit.
I saw it, too. I was trying to catch you. I didn't want you to see it.
Where are you?
I'm-I'm at a-a gas station at Seventh and Olive.
Seventh and Olive. Okay, I'm not far. I got it.
I'm on my way, all right?
I'm on my way right now.
God, baby, I'm so sorry.
I love you. I love you so much.
Was it justified?
Was it?
Was it justified?
I mean, it looked like a gun to me.
They didn't have to murder him.
I mean...
th-they... they-they shot to kill him.
Why not just wound him?
That's just how they train us.
So the training is fucked-up.
This is fucked-up. I know.
I don't think I can get her the money that she needs.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Yes, you can.
All right, we have to stay strong right now. I'm with you.
Okay? This is still a wrongful death.
- You can do this. - This is a wrongful death.
I-I'm just saying it out.
- I know I have to. - You have to.
I have to do this for her.
Not just for her but for him.
Baby, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry this happened.
Did you find out whose house that belongs to?
Let-let's... let's table it.
All right? Let's talk about it later.
I mean, all I got right now is a...
an LLC that's layered with shell companies, so...
I want to know what he was doing there.
- I need to know what he was doing there. - Look, I'm foll--
And I need answers. I--
Baby, I'm following some leads right now.
Okay? Just give me a day or so.
You have no idea?
Come on, let's-let's go home.
I-I'll drive. I'll come back and get the car.
- No, I need to... I need to check on Fela. - No.
Tomorrow, okay? Tomorrow.
I don't like what this is doing to you. I'm not letting this happen.
Look at you.
All right, we're going home.
I'm-a check on Fela later, okay?
Hmm?
Come on.
Love you.
It was another restless night
as protesters turned violent downtown.
Glass storefronts were shattered and vandalized.
Several rioters burned police cars as looting continued.
Four people were hurt,
and now pressure is mounting on Mayor Johnson and city officials
as business owners are demanding
something be done to bring an end to this violence.
You may recall that this is all the result of the Rodney Blackburn shooting
that has sparked outrage from all parts of our city.
Why did you let me sleep so late?
I already called your work.
I pushed everything back by a few hours. You're fine.
No, no, no, no. I need to check on Fela.
I already called her, too, last night and again this morning. She's fine.
- Okay. - I told her you were gonna stop by after work.
All right? Baby.
- I'm so worr-- - What?
I-I'm worried about you. I-I don't know what to do here.
Tony, I know we're still learning each other, okay,
but you got to let me fight.
You got to let me feel like I am still fighting for him.
You can't take that away from me.
- Okay? - Okay.
If you take that away from me, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
- That's all I have. - Okay.
- That's all I have left. - Okay.
- All right? - Yeah, I'm with you.
Okay. Okay.
You want me to get you anything?
I'm okay.
He was shot in cold blood by a police officer.
The city attorney is saying that it's justified,
but how many times... how many times have we heard that?
Wait, are... so are you saying there's a cover-up?
What I'm saying is that all of the evidence
needs to be released to the public.
So if the mayor
and the chief and the DA are interested
in trying to calm the tensions in this city,
if they're interested in the people of this town calming down,
they'll release all they have.
How is Fela?
How do you think she is?
Her husband was killed by the people that are sworn
to protect and serve,
and in this case, he was shot dead.
All he was doing was going for a run.
My office is filing an open records request.
We deserve to see all the city has.
The taxpayers deserve it.
Thank you.
- Hi. - Can I help you?
Yeah. Uh, do you live here?
Yes, and I will call the police.
We don't need any of that kind of trouble around here.
No... no protesting, no nothing.
I'm not here for either.
The man that was killed was a friend of mine.
He was a really good person.
I'm sorry.
I-I didn't know this would happen.
I didn't even know he was in the alley.
Was it you who called 911?
Wait. If you didn't know he was there, then why did you call the police?
Someone called and told me he was.
The Beaumonts. Th-They live behind me.
I just feel terrible about that poor man.
The way he moaned for so long before the ambulance came.
They say I'm a racist, but I'm not.
Uh, I see you have cameras there.
Can I review them?
I gave all that to the police when they came up.
Okay.
Who lives there?
Who did you say you were again?
I'm just a friend.
- I'm not answering any more questions. - Please.
Please. This is really hard on us.
I'm sorry.
I can imagine it was.
And I will call the police.
Marley.
- Shannon's here to see you. - Hi.
- I brought Sam with me. Is that okay?
Yeah. Come on in.
Okay.
Thank you both for coming.
Did you see my press conference?
- We did. - Okay.
So I think I should do a sit-down interview with you.
We have to keep pressure on the city.
I want justice for him.
We can do that.
What's that look?
We received an anonymous tip at the station.
And I'll tell you what was weird about it.
It came directly to me.
Th-They asked for me and asked if I knew you.
- Why? - It was a female.
She had some pretty interesting things to say
that I'm still trying to verify.
But look, we don't think anyone else knows about this yet.
But you tell me...
Do you know this woman?
No.
Shit.
Who is this? Tell me.
Well, the caller who sent me this photo said that this woman is Anna Lewis, 25.
Now, Sam hasn't verified this yet,
but the caller said she was having an affair with Rodney.
The alleyway, that was her house.
Look, I got my guys on this already.
All right? And we're doing our best to keep this confidential.
But we received these images from doorbell cameras
and spoke to some neighbors in the area.
I know they're far away, but check these out.
You know, Fela hasn't been happy these past few months.
It's like she wasn't herself.
And look, I looked at the time stamp of when these photos were taken.
It's about the same time she was acting a little agitated, you know?
Yeah.
I think she knew.
So maybe she hired this guy.
You're not gonna run this story, are you?
No, of course not, but someone will.
Yeah, look, the city attorneys and investigators were right behind our guys.
We know they're out there looking for information.
We're gonna try to sit on it as long as we can,
but someone will definitely find out.
Can I hold on to these photos?
All yours.
All right. Thank you guys for coming.
- Is Tony here? - He's back there.
What's wrong, babe? What's wrong?
I-I miss your call?
That is Gloria's car, and that is you.
So you knew he was having an affair and you didn't say anything.
Look, it ain't even like that.
- Why? - All right? It wasn't like that.
It wasn't. I was trying to protect you.
I knew this was gonna break your heart.
You thought this guy was perfect. He wasn't.
- Did Fela hire you? - No.
Tony, what the hell? Who is this woman?
This woman's husband hired me.
That's who hired me.
He was going through a divorce.
All right, he wanted to see what she was up to.
Asked me to follow her, so I did my job.
I followed her, and I seen her hanging with this nigga Rodney.
All right, he comes out the front door,
I jump out my car, I fucking lost it on him.
Damn near threw hands with the nigga.
And he was apologetic.
All right? Seemed sincere.
He begged me not to tell Fela or you.
All right, he said he would end it.
Promised me he would never see her again.
He swore it up and down, so...
that's what happened.
And you held all of this from me?
Look, I'm sorry, okay?
I was just trying to keep the peace. That's my fault.
All right, I don't even know how the DA got these photos.
I mean, detectives over there are wack as shit.
I didn't get it from the DA.
Who did you get it from?
Tony...
You know, since we started dating,
I have always given you the benefit of the doubt.
You know, I don't want to be one of those girls that makes the guy pay
for the lies of the guy before him, but...
to think that you could hold this kind of information from me
does not make me feel good.
And you did it with such a straight face.
I looked at the date on that photo.
You know, you came home that day, and you were just...
you were normal.
Is that who you are?
You just...
just hide things like this...
like this so easily?
Have I ever given you reason to doubt me?
Hmm?
Never.
I'm sorry, all right?
And I'm pissed off at this motherfucker for putting us in this situation.
He was cheating on his beautiful wife?
I mean, come on, that's why I didn't want to hang out with him.
And I didn't, but I-I couldn't tell you that.
You know what I'm saying? That would've crushed you.
You know?
Are you sure Fela doesn't know?
I-I truly don't believe she does, no.
She don't know.
Okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
Okay, it's only a matter of time before the DA finds out about this,
'cause I can't withhold evidence.
- No, you-you can't give them this, though. - I know that.
I better get them to settle.
- This is awful. - I know.
Now I have to face Fela knowing that this is coming.
I-I have to tell her.
I don't want her blindsided when this comes out.
- 'Cause this is gonna come out. - Shit.
Just wait. Look, I know you got to tell her-- I understand that--
but maybe just wait till you know for sure the DA's gonna find this out, you know?
I'm telling you, baby, just sit on it for a little bit.
That's how we play it. Let's see what this, uh...
see what this settlement talk's about.
You know?
That's how we're gonna do it.
All right? Let's go get--
You lying to me like this doesn't feel good.
You know how much my ex lied to me.
How crazy it made me.
Him... now you gaslighting me.
Baby, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. What I got to do?
All right, I fucked up. Let me make this up to you.
What I got to do to make it up?
Figure it out.
Marley, come on.
Hey. Marley.
Hi. Excuse me.
Hi. Hi.
- Mrs. Beaumont? - Yes.
Yeah.
I saw you on the news.
You're that lawyer.
I don't have nothing to do with that.
But you saw him in the alley.
No, I did not.
Your neighbor who lives right behind you
said that somebody from your house called her and told her to call 911.
That's a lie.
I live here by myself, and I don't even talk to her
since she let all them damn cats in my yard.
And she feeds the damn geese, and that makes more and more of them come.
Can I sue her for that?
Are you sure nobody called the police from your house?
You think I got dementia?
I know what the hell I'm saying.
Can I sue her for feeding the geese?
Oh, you just gonna ignore me?
Fela. Fela.
Fela.
Hey.
Fela.
What are you doing?
Cleaning house.
Why are you doing that?
He's not coming back.
- Stop. - I can't.
That's the problem.
I can't stop.
I can't stop hurting.
I can't stop missing him.
Every time I turn around, I see him.
I just can't...
Sorry. I'm sorry.
I don't want to see it.
I wish I never met him.
You don't mean that, Fela.
What I'm saying is...
if I never met him
and I never fell in love with him...
...then I wouldn't feel like this.
And he would still be alive.
I have to ask you...
Is there anything that I should know?
I don't know, was he having an affair?
Or...
Don't tell me you found out he was having an affair.
- Is that what you're saying? - I'm-I'm just ask--
- Why would you ask me that? - I'm just asking.
Bullshit.
You're a lawyer, Marley.
I'm a journalist.
We don't just ask.
I, uh... I-I-I'm not...
I'm not sure...
...but I think he was.
So what does this mean?
I'm gonna be publicly humiliated.
Okay.
Great.
You know what I heard on one of those right-wing asshole news channels?
They said, "Why didn't he comply?"
He had his fucking music on.
He couldn't comply. He couldn't comply.
Okay, this is humiliating.
I just... I just need to be alone.
Well, I...
I think I should stay here tonight.
No, no. I don't want you to do that.
- It's okay. - This is hard enough.
- Just please don't push me. - I'm not pushing you.
- Then leave.
- Okay. - Please.
I-I just... I just want to be alone.
- Okay? - Okay, okay.
Excuse me.
You... you don't have to be afraid of me.
I just wanted you to tell her how sorry I am.
You need to leave here right now.
- Please. Please. - I'm not gonna say it again.
I have a kid, too.
I'm not a racist.
I thought it was a gun.
If you're looking for me to clear your conscience--
Whatever they're gonna do to me,
it can't be any worse than what I'm doing to myself.
I didn't want to shoot him.
But you did.
You killed him.
You need to leave.
- I'm sorry. - You need to leave.
- Will you please just tell-- - Tony!
Please just tell her that.
- Tony! - Tell her I'm sorr--
Hey, what's up?
- Hold on. What the fuck? - It's okay.
- It's all right. I'm sorry. - Hold on.
Let me tell you something, boy.
I'll blow your brains out right here in this garage, huh?
You think you can get away with murder?
You come back around this motherfucker, I'll show you trigger-happy.
- I'm sorry. - Get out of here.
What the fuck was he doing here?
- I don't know. - Huh?
- I don't know. - Get inside.
Mm.
- Yeah, what up? - Kevin.
Why would this bastard be at my house?
He was just over here talking to Marley.
Caleb?
Yeah. What the hell is going on?
We-- I told him... I told him specifically, "Don't talk to anybody."
Nigga, that's what I need to know.
This-- Okay, let me... let-let me do this.
Let me, uh... let me... let me pay this kid a visit.
- Okay? - Yeah, you better.
And tell that motherfucker I'll kill him next time.
You-you ain't got to kill anybody, okay?
I'll pay him a visit. I'll take care of everything, all right?
You tell Marley that I'm sorry?
Shit!
I-I'll handle it.
I need the check.
You see, I don't like this shit.
I mean, why would he be over here talking to you anyway?
You can sleep down here tonight.
- It's not up for discussion. - Marley.
Tony, I'm gonna ask you this one time.
Is there anything else I need to know?
Are you keeping anything from me?
No.
Look, I'm sorry. Like...
One thing? I do one thing, you don't trust me anymore.
It's one thing.
Tony, you know my motto.
How a person does one thing is how they do everything.
So all the good I've done don't matter?
I just need... time.
Good night.
You got to have eyes in the back of your head, Caleb.
You following me?
'Cause I went to see Marley?
Yeah, you want to tell me why you did that?
You know, the DA is gonna prosecute me.
- Nobody's talking about that. - That's what I'm hearing.
Well, even if it's so, you'll win.
How do you know that?
Because we got body cam.
Okay? The-the-the union is behind you.
It's justified, and I'll testify to that.
My life is ruined.
And I know that that sounds selfish because...
- I know his is over, right, but-- - Shh, shh, shh.
Listen.
All you got to do is whatever Internal Affairs is saying.
You don't talk to her. You don't talk to anybody.
And this will all work out.
No, it won't.
I need to talk to his wife Fela.
- I need to-- - Mm-mm. No, no, no, no, no.
No, you ain't gonna do that.
I just need to let her know that I'm sorry.
No, look, all you got to do is just let this blow over.
All right? That's what you need to do.
You hear me?
- I hear you. - A'ight.
You're not to see Marley again.
I got it.
- Or Fela. - I got it.
- All right? - Yes, sir.
Let's get out of here, man.
You shouldn't even be here.
Come on.
Let's go. Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Why didn't you tell me?
I should've gone on that run with you.
You should've told me.
I could've helped you.
Hello?
Hey. I hope we didn't wake you.
I'm up.
Okay. I have Sam here with me.
You're on speakerphone.
Hey, Marley. I just wanted to give you a quick update.
So, the Army's being real hush-hush about his history in the military,
but my guys are talking to some of the men that were in his unit tomorrow.
There's something afoot here.
I'm gonna get to the bottom of it.
Okay. Uh, th... thanks.
So, can we talk about this? I want to sit down,
- and then I think I want to try to ask-- - Can we just-- Can we--
Can we just wait? It's kind of...
It's just kind of a-a lot for me.
Oh, yeah, I-I completely understand.
It's totally fine.
Um, you just let us know when you're ready, okay?
Thanks. Will you keep me updated?
I will.
Okay.
And try to get some rest.
Thanks.
Hey.
Alarm. Bedroom window opened.
Fela!
Hi. Yes. Please hurry.
I just saw someone jump through the window of my friend's house.
It's 501 Maple Lane.
Please hurry.
He just... he just jumped the fence.
Fela!
Fela? Fela?
Fela, wake up. Hey, hey.
Fela, who was that? Fela, who was that?
What?
Fela. Okay.
Somebody was in the house.
Okay? I called the police.
- They're on their way right now. - What?
I-I took a sleeping pill. I...
I was out. Someone was really here?
Uh-huh. Yeah, th-they're gone now.
They're gone.
Police are on their way, okay?
- Okay. - Okay.
Okay.
Marley! Marley!
- Hey. - What happened?
- We're both-- - You okay?
Yeah, we're both... we're both fine.
Somebody broke into the house, and he...
he had, uh, jumped out of the window, and he went over the fence,
and he was completely covered up, so...
She took something to help her sleep.
She didn't even know that anyone was in here.
She told me the officer that shot Rodney came to your house.
I bet it was him.
Uh, we don't... know that for sure.
You didn't get a look? You didn't see the car?
You didn't see anything? Didn't hear his voice?
- No. - Why is he here?
Get out!
- Fela. - You know what?
As a matter of fact, I want you all out.
Everyone, get out! Move!
You, you, get out!
Get out!
Motherfucker, let's go.
I know, I know, I know, I know.
I mean, thank God she's all right, you know?
- Yeah. No, no, absolutely. - I mean, I was talking to her.
- She said he didn't take anything. - Uh-huh.
- So I don't even know, like-- - Now, that's weird.
- What's the motive? - That's weird.
- What the hell? - Hey, babe.
Oh, it's-it's okay.
I got the call. I wanted to make sure everything was fine, okay?
We haven't caught the guy yet, but we're looking at all the CCT from the area.
But I'm pretty sure it was Caleb.
I saw him at the grave site.
- The grave? - Yeah.
- Rodney's grave? - Yeah.
I told you to handle this, man.
I-- How do you think I know he was there?
We had a car on him all night, but then we did lose him this morning.
Your officers lost him this morning?
Yeah, my officers lost him this morning.
- Type of fucking cop he is. - Wow.
Let me tell you something, man.
Find the son of a bitch. You keep a tail on him.
That's what you do. Ride it all the way until he gets to jail.
All right. I'll make sure that we track him down.
Okay, just, for now, I just want to watch over the house.
No, I don't think that's a good idea.
What-- Okay, what if he comes back?
Hmm? What if he comes back?
Listen, I-I... I'm on leave because of all of this.
Now, I know she hates me, but I'll just be outside across the street, all right?
She won't even know I'm here.
It's the least I can do.
- I'm gonna check on her. - All right.
Let me tell you something.
He showed up at my house. He showed up at Fela's house.
- That's strike two. - Okay.
What we have uncovered is that Rodney Blackburn was allegedly
having an affair with a young woman named Anna Lewis.
The police have been trying to locate her but have been unable to do so.
They are trying to get as many answers as possible, from what we are told.
The city attorney has been in contact with the victim's wife through her attorney.
Meanwhile--
Well, let the public humiliation begin.
Sam is here.
- Hi. - Thanks.
- You sounded excited on the phone. - Yeah.
So, I spoke to his Army buddies myself.
It costs the station, but take a look at that.
You have to be kidding me.
No. It's all there.
I'm not sure what else you would need, Marley.
I'm not, either.
Thank you, Sam.
You got it.
- I'll see you later. - Yeah.
Coffee?
No.
And I don't think you invited me here to offer me coffee.
You're right.
Always business.
You've seen the news about the affair?
I'm sure you had nothing to do with it.
What can we do to settle this?
Why would you want to do that?
Why the sudden change of heart?
Marley, you see the riots.
We believe that with all of the protests and the outrage,
we should just settle, get the city to heal,
if your client agrees
to release a statement saying she wants the violence to stop.
She's beloved.
We think it would be in the best interests of all parties.
Makes sense.
Yeah, you know...
You know what I think would be in the best interests of the city?
For you to stop bullshitting me.
You knew about that officer's military records
from the beginning, didn't you?
You knew about the fight with the Black soldier
that was hospitalized, right?
The racial slurs that he made?
Well, you should know that that soldier is prepared to testify for us.
And might I add that the hiring practices were...
pretty relaxed back then.
Background checks were completely ignored.
Marley, do you know the situation we're in?
Crime is out of control.
We are trying to get as many officers hired as we can.
Yeah, I know that the city is having a hard time recruiting officers, and...
it must be so hard scraping the bottom of the barrel.
What we are trying to do is protect this city.
Those protesters are talking about getting rid of officers.
Well, we need them.
Especially in those zones that they live in.
Those zones are the ones causing the most issues with crime.
It's an ugly situation.
So yes, we're having recruitment issues.
Nobody wants to come to work, do their job, shoot someone
and then end up with their life ruined like that officer.
So you are on his side.
I am so glad you said that.
I'm on the side of right.
So let's talk settlement.
Okay.
Let's talk settlement.
But I want you to know that I am going to make this case
more than just about Fela.
I'm gonna make it about the mayor's budget cuts
and where the taxpayers' money is going.
Maybe I can mention all the lavish trips that you've been taking or...
why you are in office.
You know when you fucked up?
You fucked up when you went after Tony when he was in the force.
You lied and...
said he was stealing from those drug dealers.
Even though you had evidence that those dealers were lying.
And now you just... just want to...
sweep all your bullshit under the rug?
Is that what you want?
Let's talk settlement.
After three months
of civil unrest and protesters calling for the arrest
of the officer who shot Rodney Blackburn,
the city has announced that they have reached a settlement
with the family of the slain man.
That settlement is said to be north of $15 million,
and our very own Fela Blackburn is calling for peace
as the district attorney has announced that an arrest warrant has been issued
for Officer Caleb Kaine.
But his whereabouts are unknown at this time.
We are told that he is considered a fugitive who is armed and dangerous.
Thank you, Mayor Johnson.
Now we'll have words from Fela Blackburn.
I just want to say this has been really hard on me.
I miss my husband every day.
He was the love of my life.
He wasn't perfect...
...but we were perfect together.
And I'd like to ask you all to please stop the violence.
Mayor Johnson has assured me that she will do whatever it takes
to investigate the officer involved in the shooting
so that we don't have to deal with this anymore.
So please...
no more violence.
And I am requesting privacy at this time.
Thank you.
Hey, where you going?
Oh. The gym.
Well, can I come with you?
Tony.
Baby.
I've been down here damn near four months now.
All right, I don't know what else I got to do to show you I'm sorry.
We're getting better, okay?
It's just been a lot with Rodney's death and dealing with the settlement, and...
Fela seems to be mad at me.
- She hasn't talked to me in months. - I'm sorry.
It's fine. I'm just gonna go to the gym.
All right, well, look, I got to go out and meet a client.
So I'll, um, see you when I get back?
Yeah.
Marley.
Look.
You know how much I love you.
Mm-hmm.
Will you consider letting me out the doghouse?
Please?
Maybe.
I can take a maybe.
See you later.
Hey, Marley.
Hey.
- Hey. Good to see you. - You, too.
Great result on that case for Fela.
Thanks to you and Sam.
Come on, you know you did all the work.
With your info.
Well, I'm just glad we could help.
I'm sure it did,
although she doesn't talk to me much anymore.
Hmm. Us, neither, actually.
She needs some time.
This has been hard on all of us.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
Well, I'll-I'll stop by the house to check on her.
You, uh, have her new address?
- She moved? - Yeah.
I went over there, and the neighbors said she moved like a month ago.
I did not know that.
You know I can get that address for you real quick, right?
If she wants to see me, she'll reach out.
I need to... I need to wait for her.
She needs you.
I need to wait for her.
All right, well, we got to get to the station, so...
Let me know about that interview when you're ready.
- Okay. - All right?
- All right. - See you later.
Okay, thanks.
- Let me out! - Okay, okay.
Calm down.
Let me out of here!
- If you calm down-- - Let me out of here!
- If you calm down-- Stop. - Let me out!
- Let me out of here! - Stop.
- Calm down. I'm gonna take-- - Let me out of this van!
- Calm down. I'm gonna take the bag off.
- Okay? Okay? - Let me out!
- If you stop, I will take the bag off. - Okay. I'm gonna stop. I'm gonna stop.
- Okay? - Okay!
Okay? Okay?
Okay.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
I just want to talk.
I just want to talk, and then I'll bring you
- back to your car, okay? - What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
They're ruining my life.
And I-I found out some things that I think that you should know.
Well, then you need to talk to your attorney.
Please. Just listen to me, okay?
- Can you pull over, please? - Can you let me out of this van!
Don't touch me!
Pull over, please.
Can you...
Can you talk to her?
Um...
I'm Anna Lewis.
I know you're a good person.
- He said you're a good person. - Who said that?
Kevin.
What are you talking about?
She was dating Kevin.
She met him online. Tell her.
I had just broken up with my husband, and Kevin and I dated for about a year,
and he got possessive.
Super possessive.
The things he did to me.
So I broke it off with him,
and he stalked me.
I moved, I-I changed my name, but he always found me.
What does this have to do with me?
He talked about you often, and he said great things about you.
He spoke about you as if you two are very close.
Well, we're not.
That doesn't make any sense.
He said he wished he'd married you.
I don't understand.
- Let me out. Just let me out of this van. - Marley.
You were having an affair with Rodney and Kevin?
No, no, no, no.
I met Rodney at one of his self-defense classes.
I knew that he was married.
But he said he and his wife were having problems,
so we started dating.
He told me that I didn't have to run anymore.
He said he would protect me.
He said that Kevin wouldn't bother me anymore.
Who are you?
You.
I'm Jennifer, the wife of the racist.
Surprised he's married to a Black woman?
Tell her.
We're desperate.
And the DA has a warrant for my arrest.
More criminal charges are coming because of this kidnapping.
You're all going to jail.
Now let me out! Please let me out!
I told you she wouldn't help us.
Let's take her to her car.
Look, would you... would you take my number?
Look, we're... we're desperate.
Please. Please.
Please!
You need to talk to a lawyer.
Hey, baby. I saw I missed your call. What's up?
Yeah.
You okay?
Tony, why would Kevin be working zone seven?
Wasn't zone five his area?
Uh, yeah, yeah, I think so.
Is that unusual?
Uh, yeah. Why?
Do you know who Kevin was dating at the time?
Nah, we don't really talk about that kind of stuff.
Why this line of questioning?
- Um... - You sound strange. What's up?
We can talk about it when I get home. It's been a...
It's been a long day.
Okay. I love you.
Love you.
- Yeah. - Sam.
Yeah. Hey.
You okay?
No.
Can you find Shannon and meet me somewhere?
Uh, yeah.
Yeah, what's up?
I'm gonna text you an address. Just meet me there, okay?
Yeah. Okay.
Hey.
I did not take you for the kind of girl that would like this kind of hotel.
Yeah, this is, uh... this is pretty sketchy.
Just come on.
Where are we going?
Who is it?
It's Marley.
Thank you for calling.
Come on in.
What the...
This is Shannon.
You might have seen him on the news.
And-and this is Sam. He's a producer.
Why are they here?
You kidnapped me, and then you asked for my help,
so I'm gonna ask the questions, okay?
My boyfriend was a police officer before he was railroaded by the city.
But during the investigations,
I learned about zones.
I know that Kevin wasn't supposed to be in that zone at all.
So, why were you both there?
He told me he was gonna be my field training officer that day.
Is that unusual?
Yeah.
And I asked him why.
And then he insisted that we stay right where we were
as if he knew something was gonna happen.
Did he have me kill him?
Did he set me up?
I don't know.
I'm trying to figure this out.
I'm sure he did.
I know him.
He's so sweet and loving and gentle,
but when that switch goes off,
Kevin is the devil.
He's sadistic.
I didn't want to shoot him.
And I, uh... I tried to save him, but then Kevin pulled me off of him.
And he said he was dead, but he wasn't.
He was alive.
You okay, Marley?
No, she's not.
This is fucked-up for all of us.
I read that he was your friend.
This is my husband.
He's not that man.
He's not the man they're saying that he is.
Then tell us about the Black soldier you almost beat to death in the Army.
I know they discharged you for that.
That was 'cause of me.
Caleb was trying to stop him from hurting me.
And he didn't say those racial slurs.
My ex lied, and he beat his ass
because he wanted to stop him from hurting me.
So don't do that.
I'm the one that called you anonymously.
My husband is a good man.
He wants to turn himself in, but I can't let him do that.
We can't let him get away with this.
So he was so angry with Rodney over you...
...that he set up a police shooting of him?
Is that... is that what you're saying?
You need to understand something.
That man is two people.
As good of a liar as he is, the other side is extreme
and it's dark.
He's evil.
And I have proof.
What proof?
I started recording him because I knew he would kill me.
I taped the phone to the bottom of the drawer in the bathroom.
It has a ton of recordings and text messages on it.
But it was a rental.
I think somebody bought the house.
Maybe you guys can get, like, a search warrant or something.
Doesn't work that way.
Well, it's there.
And if somebody does get it, the passcode is 9G638.
What's the address?
Wow.
Yeah. Wow.
Do you believe this, Marley?
I don't know, but if she has proof--
Then we need to get it.
There's no way that we're gonna get a search warrant
without the DA getting involved.
They're not gonna believe this story.
All right, look.
Let me head downtown, okay,
and I'll talk to some people.
Let's just figure this out tomorrow, okay?
All right, well, let's get out of here.
This place is sketchy.
Oh, Marley, thanks for calling us.
Yeah. Thanks for coming, guys.
It's me. It's me.
Tony? What the hell?
- Shut up. - What are you doing here?
Look, I know you're gonna be mad, but I found out some information
that I had to come check out.
What information?
About Kevin.
You asking those questions earlier, I'm like, "Fuck, she's ahead of the game."
You know what I mean? Had to come see what was up.
Wh-What are you doing here?
Oh, come on with the not-trusting-me shit, Marley.
I didn't want you to know anything was wrong.
All right, so I came here to see what was going on.
- Yo! - Hey, what's up, man?
Man, what y'all doing out here?
Oh, just thinking we would stop by. We was in the area.
Okay. Why don't y'all come on in?
Uh, no, no, we have to, uh... we have to head back.
Head back to the city when y'all drove all the way out here, man?
Come on in.
Come on, let's go.
It's a nice house.
Yeah. I rented it a couple times.
Man, I just went on ahead and bought it.
I see.
- See how you're living. - Yeah.
Y'all come on in.
Sure.
A'ight.
- I'll see y'all. - Come on.
- What the hell is going on, Tony? - Just trust me.
Mm. Come on.
Come on.
Welcome to my crib.
- Wow. - Yeah.
Sheesh!
Yeah, you like it?
- What you think? - Kind of nice on a cop's salary.
Well, you know.
Hey, you want some wine?
- Uh, yeah. - A'ight, let me grab some--
Yeah, sure. Baby, you want some?
Yeah, sure. Uh, where's your bathroom?
Oh, there's like 12 in here, but-- Nah, I'm just playing.
You walk right down there, it's on the right.
Yeah, and I-I'm still decorating.
I'm-a grab this wine.
Right...
Ah.
Nigga, she got you what?
- What'd y'all get, 300 grand? - Three hundred grand.
She got you 300 grand for some shit you did, nigga?
A cop shooting a nigga, man, uh, capping a nigga? Come on, dawg.
- A white cop. - Nigga, that should be easy.
That's about, what, four, five--
You're a stupid bitch.
You understand that? Shut up.
Kevin, please stop.
- I didn't do anything. Why-- - Oh, shut up!
Shut up!
I'm telling you that I didn't do anything. I'm telling--
Marley!
You all right in there?
Yeah. Be right out.
- Geez. - Yeah. You know where I got that from.
- What? Oh, yeah, that's right. - You know where I got it. You know where I got that from.
Matter of fact, we need some of that fine... Got that, too.
Babe, Kevin gonna take us for a ride in his new boat.
Oh, no, no. I, uh...
need to head back to the city.
Come on, now. You don't want to be rude.
Uh, no, I'll, um...
You guys go ahead.
I'll see you at home.
Baby?
Baby, I'll see you at home.
Hmm.
Marley.
Come here.
Can you unlock the door?
Marley.
Baby, I got your phone in my pocket. You don't want it?
Can you have him unlock the door?
Hmm?
I told you, man.
I told you she would figure this shit out, man, but you was like,
"Ah, nah, nah. She gonna get you the money just like she got me the money."
But I told him that your ass would not stop.
- She got to keep going, you see? - Mm-hmm.
That's your fucking problem.
Hmm? You don't know when to stop.
Now, we're gonna go for a boat ride. Come here.
I'm not going anywhere.
Oh.
Open this door.
Why?
So you can turn us in? Hmm?
For what?
You know what I'm talking about.
You know what we did, Marley, so just come on.
Come clean.
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Baby?
I don't know...
I don't know you.
I don't know you at all.
Of course you do.
It's Tony, baby.
I'm your dream man.
Remember?
Huh? Isn't that what you told me?
Come on.
Let's get on the boat.
Get that way.
No, ah-ah-ah.
- I got her. - No!
- No! No! No! - Fucking shut you up right now.
- No! - Fucking shut you up right--
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Keep still. Keep still.
Keep still. Just chill.
Man, give me that shit.
- You hold her. Goddamn, man. - Be still.
- Shut up. Shut up! - Look like you never did this shit before.
Hold her. Hold her. Look, look, look, look, look.
Come here, come here, come here.
That's right.
It's all good. It's all good. All good.
It's all good.
No, no, no, no, no. Don't fight. Don't fight it.
- Marley. Marley. - Now she got it.
Don't fight it. Don't fight it.
- It's all good. There it is. - Almost.
There it is.
Good, good, good.
- Good girl. - Put 'em to sleep every time.
Every time.
- Night night. - Good.
Come on, come on. Open the door for me.
All right.
Here we go. All right.
Watch your step.
Yeah, we're just gonna go onto the boat, dawg,
go out about maybe 200, 300 yards.
And then we're gonna drop her.
Then we're done, baby.
Here we go.
Okay.
- We're good, we're good, we're good. - All right.
We're good, we're good.
Let's get in.
Okay.
Hey, man, we all good.
Got you. I'm gonna do-si-do with you.
All right, you take her.
I'm-a untie the boat.
Okay, just flip her to me, flip her to me, flip her to me. I got her.
There she goes.
I got her.
Whew.
Let's go, baby.
Let's get it, let's get it, let's get it.
Kev.
We're good, we're good. We're good, baby.
I told you.
She almost caught you coming out of that fucking window.
I know.
Almost broke my damn ankle coming out that window.
If she had just taken one minute online,
she would have seen that Tony's name is not Kevin.
Hey, yo, why y'all use my name for that fake-ass profile?
Yeah, exactly.
I put up with way too much of Rodney's games,
and I got rid of that motherfucker,
and she got me that big-ass settlement.
Tony, stay in it.
- I'm in it. - You hated Rodney's ass, too.
And I am so glad you told me that he was with that bitch.
I knew it.
Yeah, but what you didn't know is that
Tony was mad that Rodney took her ass from him.
I don't know what y'all saw in that girl.
She's up.
Shit.
She's up.
- Stop here. - No, I got it.
Nigga, she's supposed to be out.
Hey, girl.
Why?
Why didn't I let him divorce me for that bitch?
Embarrassing me?
Rodney was an asshole.
There are so many people that are glad he's dead.
What better way to send him off than this?
Using the political narratives.
It was perfect.
Oh, baby, you didn't know him, but I did.
Tony.
How about you go for a little swim, huh?
Yeah, yo, let me just... let me put a little weight on her, okay?
That way, she goes straight to the bottom.
Hurry up.
- What's that? - Okay, let me concentrate.
Hey, hey.
- What? It's on it. It's ti-- - Hey, hey.
- It's tight. I got it. I got it. - Who's... Who's this?
You got this.
- Everybody, just chill out. - Yeah.
- Yo, we got this. - Just be cool.
It's just a, uh... it's a rent-a-cop, so just chill.
Tony, handle it.
- What's up, man? - Hey.
- Evening. - Evening.
Got a call saying there was a boat out on the lake.
Oh, that's us.
I just wanted to, uh, show 'em the lake.
I-Is there a problem?
Well, the lake level's so low.
That's why it's closed at night.
You need to be able to see what's sticking up out of the water.
- Ah. I see. Yeah. - Hmm.
You're that news lady.
I'm sorry to hear about your husband.
Thank you so much.
I am gonna need to see some registration.
Oh, uh, yep. Yep, I...
Where did I put the regi-- Yep.
- Got it. I got it. It's, uh... - Mm.
I keep it right here. There you go.
Unfortunately, I'm-a have to write you a citation.
No, I-I get it completely.
- We got to do better. - Big-time.
- She okay? - Yeah.
She just gets a little seasick.
Another reason for you not to be out here.
- Right? - Yeah, sure.
- Right? - Good point.
Are you okay?
She's fine.
- She's all right. - We can handle it. [laughs[
What is that around her waist?
Oh, no, no, no!
Oh, Kevin.
Oh, that wasn't supposed to happen.
It wasn't supposed to go down like that, dawg.
You know what? I'll pull out the plugs, sink the boat.
Killing me, dude.
Yo. Calm down.
Hurry up.
I got it. I got it.
Let's go. Let's go.
- Come on. - Shut up, man. Damn.
Yeah.
All right, everybody.
- No. - Make that tight.
Okay, here we go.
- All right, one, two, three. Go. - Go.
Come on. Hurry up.
All right, let's go. Let's go. We got to go. We got to go.
Come on, hurry up.
- I got it. - Shit!
- What? What? What? - Guys, he's floating.
- Can't just leave him like this. - Oh, shit.
- Get in there! - A'ight, a'ight, a'ight!
All right, get him.
A little bit further.
- Shit. Come on. - Here you go.
- Yep. Get him. - There you go.
Get him out. Get-get him up!
Damn, this water's freezing.
- You good? - I'm good.
All right.
- There it-- There it is. - All right, he's got him.
- There it is. - You got him. He better fucking sink.
- I got him. - Kevin, come on. Come on.
- Help me pull him up. - Almost.
- Look, look. Look, look, look, look. - There it is.
Get a little bit further.
- Right there. Don't let him go. - Almost.
Get him in.
Got him. Fela. Fela.
- The anchor. - Anchor. Right.
- Get the anchor so we can weigh him down. - I got him. I got him.
- Come on, come on, come on. - Guys?
- We got to move. We got to move. - Tony, take this.
- Shit. Guys, get him-- - Let's go.
Out of there. You got him?
Give me some slack. Give me some fucking slack.
- Hey, hey, you guys, hurry up. - It's stuck, man. Shit.
- Guys, hurry it up right now! - Okay.
What the--
No, no, no. No, no. What--
No, no. No!
Babe. Hey, look at me.
Don't do nothing stupid.
Come on. Relax.
Hey. Look at me. I love you.
Hmm?
I love you.
Baby.
Baby, I'm sorry.
Just...
The real hero in all of this is Ms. Marley Wells.
Today we are talking to her and Officer Caleb Kaine
about how this all played out.
And I must say we are all shocked.
We feel that Fela Blackburn was not only a part of this awful crime
but she had us all fooled.
Allegedly. We have to say "allegedly" for legal reasons.
But she deceived this entire city.
Marley, I know you fought hard for this, for Officer Caleb,
whose charges were dropped, but also for Fela.
She was your friend.
I can tell you this does nothing for my trust issues.
What can I say, you know?
When you think about these people and how they used
such an awful political hot button to deceive us all,
what do you say to that?
There's a lot of injustice out there.
There's a lot of things that we have to fight against.
There are police officers that are killing innocent Black men,
and what I've found from these cases is that...
many want to make it political.
Many want to make it racial.
When you take the arguments of the left and the right out of it,
it's still fundamentally wrong on every level.
I don't want to believe that the window to fix this is closing.
I heard a conservative news channel say
that because Fela, Kevin and my former boyfriend were in on it
that there shouldn't be any merit given to any of these cases,
and I just think that that's bullshit.
What I would hope that would happen
would be that we would pay closer attention
to these cases-- all of them-- fairly and objectively
so that we can get to the heart of these issues,
which are race relations and officers.
And just...
just define what is right and what is wrong,
and when someone is wrong, treat them as such,
but when someone is right, then we have to stand with them,
whether we believe what they believe or not.
That's what I know.
