- What happened?

- It's all good.
What do we got?

- Drive-by shooting, four vics

and a pedestrian on
the other side of the line.

A father was hit right here.

His daughter was grazed
on the passenger side.

Out-of-towners from Madison.
- Huh.

- Decided to go through
the drive-through,

he takes a GSW in the back.

- Hey, the daughter
see anything?

- Uh, yeah, she saw the car.

It was a red SUV,
two offenders.

Both were masked and hooded,

and it was the passenger
who was dumping the shots.

- Name of the victim
is Anthony Wiggins.

- Yeah, he rolled with
the Burn City Hustlers.

Did a 10-year stint
for drug trafficking,

was released a month ago.

- So based on the amount
of lead this guy took,

trajectory of the bullets,

we think Wiggins
was the target.

All the rest of this
is just collateral damage.

- We're waiting on the server

for the footage
from the restaurant,

but the place next door,
they got security cams

and it's pretty clear
from the video.

We can't see the shooting,

but the whole block
had a good view.

There was kids
sitting on a stoop

when the shots went off.
- All right.

So knock-and-talk
the hell out of them.

Rest of us,
grid-search for the weapon.

Dig into all gang disputes.

- Let's go, Ru.

Slow down--

- I'm not gonna talk to you.
- Hey!

Man, you don't
have to talk to me,

but the way you walking off
fast makes me feel like

you know something, so did you
see that shooting or not?

- I wasn't a witness.

So go ahead and roll on out

and claim it was another
gang on gang shooting.

Go on, sellout.

- "Sellout"?

That's original.

I'ma keep it moving.
We got everything we need.

We know for a fact that
the dude that got shot

was active with
the Burn City Hustlers.

- Keyword, "was."

- So you know
something I don't?

Kid implies that Wiggins
was no longer in the game.

Changed his life,
found God in the penitentiary.

Confirmed that with Stateville.

While inside,
Wiggins actually started

a violence intervention
program.

- Huh.

- Two days ago,
confronts this man,

Moe Hubbard,
street legend from the 90s.

- Hubbard has never done time.

He was arrested six times.

Dealing, homicide,
nothing has ever stuck.

Teflon.

- So two days ago,
when Wiggins confronts Hubbard,

somebody catches it
on Instagram.

Watch this.

- Wait.

What you gotta say, baby?

- You just a pariah, Hubbs.

A weak pathetic thug
preying on young brothers.

- See, you talk too much, man.

Way too much.
- 48 hours later,

Higgins was killed
in that drive-through.

- All right,
we got anything concrete?

Connect Hubbard
to the shooting?

- No, of course not.

No red SUV,

no ballistics match,
but we're still digging.

- Where's Hubbard now?

- Got a recording studio
for young rappers.

Acts like he's all about
the kids.

Promises hope,
hands them guns instead.

I don't know.

Hmm.

I do know.

Celeste said
he would go somewhere

where he knew it was safe.

Got it.

That's the gun used in
the drive-through shooting.

- Doesn't ring a bell?

Huh.

See, it turns out somebody put

a Glock converter switch
on that weapon,

made it fully automatic.

Still nothing? Hmm.

- Lewis is gone,
so he can't testify on that,

but Eric Boyle is still here.

Yeah, the police
didn't shoot him.

Like I'm guessing
you thought they would.

And he's talking.

- Oh, he's talking.

He's saying you gave him
the gun and the car.

That you told him and Lewis
to shoot and kill Wiggins

or you would shoot
and kill them.

- If you think I'ma slip
for a confession,

it ain't gone happen.

- See, it turns out
we don't need it.

Yeah, I'll be
seeing you around, Hubby.

Why don't you fill him in, Kev?

- See,

shooters wear masks,
they wear gloves,

they avoid the cameras,

but for some reason,

bangers always forget that

when you load bullets
into a magazine,

and when you put
a switch on a Glock

and turn it into a mini AK-47,

you leave partial prints.

Your prints are on
both of those guns.

That plus what we got
from Eric Boyle,

you're done.

So...

Good luck at Stateville.

Those "Free Hubbard" shirts
are gonna be

pretty popular, though.

- Did you hear what happened?

- I wish I could've
been here sooner.

- Come on.

You know they were gonna
charge Lewis as an adult.

I can't even understand that.

He's 15.

And we both know

if Lewis was a white kid,

they'd paint a picture
of a helpless victim

bullied into crime.

I mean, he didn't even
have his hand on the trigger.

And Lewis,

killed in police custody.

I knew when those cops--

when they showed up
in my classroom, I knew,

and yet,
I led them right to him.

[exhales sharply]

I should've known
they'd follow me.

It was so, so stupid.

You know, and then I got
you involved,

and I probably made things
worse for him.

I didn't protect him.

They didn't protect him.

You know what
burns me the most?

- What?

- I heard Lewis
was riding in a patrol car

with two Black officers.

- How'd you hear that?

- Witnesses on the street.

How do they sleep at night
knowing that Lewis died

sitting right next to them?

- I don't know.

- Why are you
looking at me like that?

- [whispering]
Celeste.

I gotta tell you.

I'm sorry, but I--
- No, no, no.

No, no, you don't do that,
okay?

You're not doing that.

You don't apologize to me.

None of this is on you, okay?

You tried to help, and I
appreciate that so, so much.

I really do, I really do.

I think you

are a very good man, Kevin.

Okay, can we just--

Can we just have some beers

and just sit in silence
together?

Our own little safe space?

Is that okay?

Yeah?

You coming?
