Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,740 --> 00:00:04,221
I serve as an equalizer.
2
00:00:04,265 --> 00:00:05,788
I'm the one you call
3
00:00:05,831 --> 00:00:07,007
when you can't call 911.
4
00:00:07,050 --> 00:00:08,051
Previously on The Equalizer...
5
00:00:08,095 --> 00:00:10,095
Federal agents!
6
00:00:10,095 --> 00:00:10,097
Don't move!
7
00:00:10,140 --> 00:00:11,359
Harry "Keys" Keshegian,
8
00:00:11,402 --> 00:00:13,317
you're under arrest
for espionage.
9
00:00:13,361 --> 00:00:15,319
I want to know who
owns this place.
10
00:00:15,363 --> 00:00:17,191
You don't normally need help
with stuff like that.
11
00:00:17,234 --> 00:00:18,670
My computer's down.
12
00:00:18,714 --> 00:00:20,411
I have a close friend
13
00:00:20,455 --> 00:00:22,455
who I can't help.
14
00:00:22,455 --> 00:00:23,588
Trust yourself. You can do it.
15
00:00:23,632 --> 00:00:25,851
Please tell me you have
a miracle up your sleeve,
16
00:00:25,895 --> 00:00:28,115
because I'm all out.
17
00:00:28,158 --> 00:00:29,507
They're releasing him.
18
00:00:29,551 --> 00:00:32,554
I heard it was the
president who intervened.
19
00:00:32,597 --> 00:00:34,382
Well, don't get too
excited. There are conditions.
20
00:00:34,425 --> 00:00:37,472
Harry can never touch
a computer again.
21
00:00:48,004 --> 00:00:49,484
No.
22
00:00:49,527 --> 00:00:51,529
No! Please, no!
23
00:00:58,928 --> 00:01:00,928
Psychology.
24
00:01:00,928 --> 00:01:01,844
Maybe. Economics.
25
00:01:01,887 --> 00:01:04,064
No. Art history.
26
00:01:04,107 --> 00:01:05,848
You'd like that one,
- Aunt Vi.
- Yeah.
27
00:01:05,891 --> 00:01:09,156
I have one elective I can take
next semester.
28
00:01:09,199 --> 00:01:10,635
Woodshop might be cool?
29
00:01:10,679 --> 00:01:12,420
We could use a birdhouse.
30
00:01:12,463 --> 00:01:14,378
What does your college counselor
have to say?
31
00:01:14,422 --> 00:01:16,380
Take a class that'll make me
look like an interesting
32
00:01:16,424 --> 00:01:17,903
and well-rounded candidate.
33
00:01:17,947 --> 00:01:19,514
But, I don't know,
34
00:01:19,557 --> 00:01:21,646
that's if I even want
to go to college.
35
00:01:23,126 --> 00:01:25,259
I mean, a degree isn't
the only path to success.
36
00:01:25,302 --> 00:01:28,175
Look at Steve Jobs,
Anna Wintour,
37
00:01:28,218 --> 00:01:29,393
Daymond John--
38
00:01:29,437 --> 00:01:30,916
none of them graduated college.
39
00:01:31,743 --> 00:01:33,441
And none of them live
under this roof.
40
00:01:33,484 --> 00:01:35,051
Morning, Mom.
41
00:01:35,095 --> 00:01:36,879
Dee, you were always so excited
42
00:01:36,922 --> 00:01:38,010
about going
to college.
43
00:01:38,054 --> 00:01:40,143
I know. Well, maybe I'm just...
44
00:01:40,187 --> 00:01:42,319
exploring different perspectives.
45
00:01:42,363 --> 00:01:44,539
Yeah, well,
from my perspective,
46
00:01:44,582 --> 00:01:46,106
you're going to college.
47
00:01:46,149 --> 00:01:47,411
Okay, we still have
a couple years
48
00:01:47,455 --> 00:01:50,110
before I'm old... You leave for college, yes.
49
00:01:50,849 --> 00:01:52,068
Okay.
50
00:01:52,112 --> 00:01:54,592
I got to go
meet Tiffany.
51
00:01:54,636 --> 00:01:56,116
A bunch of us
are going skating at Wolman's.
52
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:57,943
But I love you.
53
00:01:57,987 --> 00:02:00,163
Bye.
54
00:02:00,207 --> 00:02:01,556
Where do you think
55
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:03,471
that's coming from?
56
00:02:03,514 --> 00:02:05,951
Sometimes I think she just says
things to see how we'll react.
57
00:02:05,995 --> 00:02:08,040
I swear, man.
58
00:02:08,084 --> 00:02:10,347
I got to skate out
of here, too, Aunt Vi.
59
00:02:10,391 --> 00:02:13,133
All right.
Right behind you.
60
00:02:15,091 --> 00:02:17,049
Look at you.
61
00:02:17,093 --> 00:02:18,834
Mm-hmm.
62
00:02:18,877 --> 00:02:20,183
Upstairs,
63
00:02:20,227 --> 00:02:22,838
in the light of day.
64
00:02:22,881 --> 00:02:24,448
How's it feel?
65
00:02:24,492 --> 00:02:26,320
I think it'd feel a little
better if the, uh, FBI hadn't
66
00:02:26,363 --> 00:02:28,365
repossessed my safe
space and banned me
67
00:02:28,409 --> 00:02:30,976
from doing the only thing
which gives my life meaning.
68
00:02:31,020 --> 00:02:32,369
At least you're
not in prison, babe.
69
00:02:32,413 --> 00:02:35,155
And you don't have to pretend
to be dead.
70
00:02:35,198 --> 00:02:36,591
Like you wanted.
71
00:02:36,634 --> 00:02:38,245
I know, I know.
Don't get me wrong--
72
00:02:38,288 --> 00:02:41,596
it is amazing
being out in the world again.
73
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,206
Except for those electric scooters.
74
00:02:43,250 --> 00:02:45,165
Who authorized
those death traps?
75
00:02:46,470 --> 00:02:49,734
But what's the point of
gaining the world if it means
76
00:02:49,778 --> 00:02:51,606
losing your place in it?
77
00:02:51,649 --> 00:02:53,738
We'll find your place.
78
00:02:53,782 --> 00:02:55,087
I promise.
79
00:02:55,131 --> 00:02:56,219
- Yeah.
- But that's not
80
00:02:56,263 --> 00:02:58,178
why we called.
We got a message
81
00:02:58,221 --> 00:03:00,267
from Deidre Blickman.
82
00:03:00,310 --> 00:03:02,486
The wife of the rapper, Dilemma?
83
00:03:02,530 --> 00:03:04,009
That's the one.
84
00:03:04,053 --> 00:03:06,969
The guy gunned down his rival,
Dre Bids, in cold blood
85
00:03:07,012 --> 00:03:09,189
as part of a rap beef.
86
00:03:09,232 --> 00:03:10,755
Yeah, I know who he is.
87
00:03:10,799 --> 00:03:11,887
What does the wife want?
88
00:03:11,930 --> 00:03:13,410
She says he didn't do it.
89
00:03:13,454 --> 00:03:14,890
Well, I thought he confessed.
90
00:03:14,933 --> 00:03:17,632
He did. But she says she has
proof that it wasn't him.
91
00:03:17,675 --> 00:03:19,764
What's the proof?
92
00:03:20,591 --> 00:03:24,116
♪ I might've heard it was
a .38 behind the door ♪
93
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,815
♪ The time of death
when he left the Earth, 9:04 ♪
94
00:03:26,858 --> 00:03:30,210
♪ And now his rival in the game
is sitting in a cell ♪
95
00:03:30,253 --> 00:03:34,301
♪ And plus the one who spit
the shells is living in hell. ♪
96
00:03:34,344 --> 00:03:35,911
The exact time
he died.
97
00:03:35,954 --> 00:03:37,565
Shot by a .38?
98
00:03:37,608 --> 00:03:39,784
Those details
were never released publicly.
99
00:03:39,828 --> 00:03:41,873
This song is
a confession.
100
00:03:41,917 --> 00:03:45,616
So you think whoever recorded
this track killed Dre Bids,
101
00:03:45,660 --> 00:03:46,661
not your husband.
102
00:03:46,704 --> 00:03:48,315
I never believed
Greg's confession.
103
00:03:48,358 --> 00:03:49,881
Now I know I was right.
104
00:03:49,925 --> 00:03:50,926
Who's the artist?
105
00:03:50,969 --> 00:03:52,406
He goes by the name Sid Slay.
106
00:03:52,449 --> 00:03:54,321
The track dropped on SoundCloud
just about a month ago.
107
00:03:54,364 --> 00:03:57,019
We tried to find him,
but his account's anonymous.
108
00:03:57,062 --> 00:03:59,456
What does your husband
have to say about this?
109
00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:00,936
Told me to leave it alone.
110
00:04:00,979 --> 00:04:02,633
But we've been married
a long time.
111
00:04:02,677 --> 00:04:03,765
I know
112
00:04:03,808 --> 00:04:05,070
when he's keeping
something from me.
113
00:04:05,114 --> 00:04:07,334
My dad's not a murderer.
114
00:04:08,509 --> 00:04:11,425
I'm not sure if you take cases
from people like me,
115
00:04:11,468 --> 00:04:13,035
but I don't know where to turn.
116
00:04:13,078 --> 00:04:15,298
Something's
not right.
117
00:04:15,342 --> 00:04:17,822
I just need someone
who can tell me the truth.
118
00:04:17,866 --> 00:04:20,172
Come on, Ma.
We know the truth.
119
00:04:20,216 --> 00:04:21,826
- He did it.
- Shut up!
120
00:04:21,870 --> 00:04:23,480
Watch your mouth, Daoud.
121
00:04:23,524 --> 00:04:25,265
Just speaking the truth, Ma.
122
00:04:25,308 --> 00:04:27,179
Shotta Boys jumped me.
123
00:04:27,223 --> 00:04:28,398
Dad set it right.
124
00:04:28,442 --> 00:04:29,443
Daoud,
125
00:04:29,486 --> 00:04:30,792
take your brother
to his art class
126
00:04:30,835 --> 00:04:32,054
and pick him up after.
127
00:04:32,097 --> 00:04:33,490
Yo, you can't just call him
an Uber?
128
00:04:33,534 --> 00:04:34,622
I got somewhere to be.
129
00:04:34,665 --> 00:04:37,668
Take your brother
to his class.
130
00:04:37,712 --> 00:04:38,800
Now.
131
00:04:40,018 --> 00:04:41,455
Get your stuff, Nasir.
132
00:04:47,287 --> 00:04:48,288
Bye, Ma.
133
00:04:48,331 --> 00:04:49,332
It was nice
meeting you.
134
00:04:50,507 --> 00:04:52,770
You have
to forgive Daoud.
135
00:04:52,814 --> 00:04:54,772
All his life, he wanted
to be like his father.
136
00:04:54,816 --> 00:04:56,600
Started rapping
when he was eight years old.
137
00:04:56,644 --> 00:04:59,951
He's been in so much pain ever
since his dad went to prison.
138
00:04:59,995 --> 00:05:01,388
He became hard.
139
00:05:01,431 --> 00:05:03,303
Started running the streets.
140
00:05:04,042 --> 00:05:05,914
Trying to take up the mantle?
141
00:05:05,957 --> 00:05:07,524
My husband's gangsta image
sold a lot of records,
142
00:05:07,568 --> 00:05:08,960
but that's not who he is.
143
00:05:09,004 --> 00:05:10,484
Is that so?
144
00:05:10,527 --> 00:05:12,050
Because from what I read,
even before the murder,
145
00:05:12,094 --> 00:05:14,314
things were getting violent
between the two crews.
146
00:05:14,357 --> 00:05:16,141
Joke is...
147
00:05:16,185 --> 00:05:20,494
whole damn beef started out
as a PR stunt to sell tracks.
148
00:05:20,537 --> 00:05:21,843
It just got so out of hand,
149
00:05:21,886 --> 00:05:24,149
with them trying to be
what they rapped about.
150
00:05:24,193 --> 00:05:27,327
Last year, Dre Bids' gang,
the Shotta Boys,
151
00:05:27,370 --> 00:05:31,331
beat Daoud up so badly
he had to be hospitalized.
152
00:05:31,374 --> 00:05:34,421
My husband's crew
wanted revenge, but...
153
00:05:34,464 --> 00:05:37,946
he saw what the music was doing.
154
00:05:37,989 --> 00:05:41,384
He just wanted to be done
with the violence.
155
00:05:42,211 --> 00:05:44,561
That's how I know it wasn't him.
156
00:05:44,605 --> 00:05:46,433
If your husband is innocent,
157
00:05:46,476 --> 00:05:48,522
he confessed for a reason.
158
00:05:48,565 --> 00:05:50,437
He must be covering
for something.
159
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,526
I know what you're thinking,
160
00:05:52,569 --> 00:05:54,005
but Nasir was home with me
161
00:05:54,049 --> 00:05:57,182
and Daoud and his boys
were at Club Cypher.
162
00:05:57,226 --> 00:05:58,836
If Greg's covering,
163
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,925
it's for someone else--
164
00:06:00,969 --> 00:06:02,666
this Sid Slay--
165
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:04,625
and I need to know why.
166
00:06:06,844 --> 00:06:08,324
Your client's right.
167
00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:10,587
Those details about the murder
were never made public.
168
00:06:10,631 --> 00:06:12,676
So how'd they wind up
in that SoundCloud track?
169
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,591
Does it matter?
Dilemma confessed.
170
00:06:14,635 --> 00:06:16,376
It matters
if he isn't the real killer.
171
00:06:16,419 --> 00:06:19,117
I thought we were
- all about the truth.
- You want the truth?
172
00:06:19,161 --> 00:06:21,598
How about the toll their beef
has taken on the community?
173
00:06:21,642 --> 00:06:23,383
How about the ten-year-old girl
who got killed
174
00:06:23,426 --> 00:06:25,210
in the crossfire of a shoot-out
175
00:06:25,254 --> 00:06:26,473
between Shotta Boys and B-Set,
176
00:06:26,516 --> 00:06:29,214
all because Dilemma
killed Dre Bids?
177
00:06:29,258 --> 00:06:30,390
And what if he didn't?
178
00:06:30,433 --> 00:06:31,478
Imagine what that would change.
179
00:06:31,521 --> 00:06:33,393
Why confess if he didn't do it?
180
00:06:33,436 --> 00:06:34,611
That's what I want to ask him.
181
00:06:34,655 --> 00:06:36,221
You think
you can arrange a visit?
182
00:06:36,265 --> 00:06:37,397
I can.
183
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,528
But I'm coming along.
184
00:06:38,572 --> 00:06:39,964
I'll meet you there.
185
00:06:40,008 --> 00:06:42,880
In the meantime,
I'll track down this Sid Slay,
186
00:06:42,924 --> 00:06:46,406
find out how he has details
only the real killer could know.
187
00:06:47,885 --> 00:06:50,322
Okay, so you want me
to trace the IP
188
00:06:50,366 --> 00:06:51,715
of whoever it is
that dropped that track?
189
00:06:51,759 --> 00:06:53,717
I would love to.
Oh! Wait, that's right--
190
00:06:53,761 --> 00:06:56,503
the FBI forbade me from
ever using a computer again.
191
00:06:56,546 --> 00:06:58,853
Rob, if anyone
were to see me...
192
00:06:58,896 --> 00:07:00,724
You can't touch a computer,
but Mel can.
193
00:07:00,768 --> 00:07:02,552
Why don't you walk her through
it? That's technically legal.
194
00:07:02,596 --> 00:07:05,076
Yeah. Legal, uh, yeah.
195
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,556
Uh, a good idea? Eh.
196
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,297
I mean, you want us
to stay married, right?
197
00:07:08,340 --> 00:07:11,518
I mean, between her control
issues and my control issues...
198
00:07:11,561 --> 00:07:13,084
Oh, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
199
00:07:13,128 --> 00:07:14,521
We would murder each other.
200
00:07:14,564 --> 00:07:16,000
Can you at least try?
201
00:07:17,001 --> 00:07:20,135
I guess it's got to be better
than being completely useless.
202
00:07:20,178 --> 00:07:22,442
Um, want to give it a shot?
203
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:25,967
Uh, yeah.
204
00:07:27,272 --> 00:07:28,273
I'll go get
the laptop.
205
00:07:28,317 --> 00:07:29,666
Yep.
206
00:07:32,713 --> 00:07:34,758
♪ I saw my opportunity
207
00:07:34,802 --> 00:07:36,456
♪ So, yeah, I took my shot
208
00:07:36,499 --> 00:07:37,587
♪ They probably say it's hate
209
00:07:37,631 --> 00:07:39,371
♪ But I just couldn't wait
210
00:07:39,415 --> 00:07:43,158
♪ Yeah, it was me who pulled
the trigger on that .38. ♪
211
00:07:43,201 --> 00:07:44,420
That ain't nothing.
212
00:07:44,464 --> 00:07:47,205
Just some fraud
looking for street cred.
213
00:07:47,249 --> 00:07:51,122
That fraud is confessing to a
murder you're serving time for.
214
00:07:51,166 --> 00:07:53,429
With details only someone
at the scene would have.
215
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:55,475
Like cops don't talk?
216
00:07:55,518 --> 00:07:57,781
That same talk
can hit the streets.
217
00:07:57,825 --> 00:08:00,958
And you're sure no one else
was there that night?
218
00:08:01,002 --> 00:08:02,133
Just me.
219
00:08:02,177 --> 00:08:04,658
Not your boys? Not your crew?
220
00:08:04,701 --> 00:08:07,269
You just walked up to
Dre Bids and shot him?
221
00:08:07,312 --> 00:08:08,923
That's right.
222
00:08:08,966 --> 00:08:12,492
Yeah? And how'd you know he
was gonna be there that night?
223
00:08:14,102 --> 00:08:15,190
Guard!
224
00:08:15,233 --> 00:08:16,844
You know
what's happening
225
00:08:16,887 --> 00:08:18,193
out there?
226
00:08:18,236 --> 00:08:19,716
Shotta Boys sending hitters,
227
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,065
B-Set doing the same,
228
00:08:21,109 --> 00:08:23,154
all because they think
you killed Dre Bids.
229
00:08:23,198 --> 00:08:24,591
But if you didn't do it...
230
00:08:24,634 --> 00:08:26,636
We're done here.
231
00:08:28,029 --> 00:08:29,247
Let's go.
232
00:08:30,074 --> 00:08:32,163
If you knew
what was best for you,
233
00:08:32,207 --> 00:08:33,948
you would leave this
alone.
234
00:08:37,778 --> 00:08:39,649
He's hiding something.
No doubt.
235
00:08:41,042 --> 00:08:43,348
I'll take a look
at the case files,
236
00:08:43,392 --> 00:08:45,350
see if anything
got overlooked.
237
00:08:45,394 --> 00:08:47,222
I'll talk
to the players involved.
238
00:08:47,265 --> 00:08:49,093
Hey. Be careful.
239
00:08:49,137 --> 00:08:51,618
A lot of bodies between
Shotta Boys and B-Set.
240
00:08:51,661 --> 00:08:53,054
They don't mess around.
241
00:08:53,097 --> 00:08:54,882
Neither do I.
242
00:08:55,665 --> 00:08:58,363
But thanks for the concern.
243
00:09:19,428 --> 00:09:21,256
Cops are back.
244
00:09:21,299 --> 00:09:22,518
Asking questions,
245
00:09:22,562 --> 00:09:24,912
digging into that thing.
246
00:09:25,695 --> 00:09:27,567
You know what to do.
247
00:09:39,796 --> 00:09:42,233
Oh, you don't have
to hit Search every time.
248
00:09:42,277 --> 00:09:44,279
You know what?
You want to do it?
249
00:09:44,322 --> 00:09:46,237
Oh, wait, you can't. So...
250
00:09:46,281 --> 00:09:48,762
- stop hovering.
- Wow. Way to kick a man when he's down.
251
00:09:48,805 --> 00:09:50,067
Well, you're...
252
00:09:51,460 --> 00:09:52,853
Hey, Rob.
253
00:09:52,896 --> 00:09:54,158
How'd it go with Dilemma?
254
00:09:54,202 --> 00:09:55,899
He was uncooperative,
to say the least.
255
00:09:55,943 --> 00:09:58,685
Uncooperative, huh?
That must be really frustrating.
256
00:09:58,728 --> 00:10:00,208
I have the Feds on speed dial.
257
00:10:00,251 --> 00:10:01,296
- I do.
- Okay.
258
00:10:01,339 --> 00:10:02,993
How 'bout you kill
each other later?
259
00:10:03,037 --> 00:10:04,734
Any luck IDing our artist?
260
00:10:04,778 --> 00:10:06,083
Yeah, so this Sid Slay
261
00:10:06,127 --> 00:10:07,650
may have implicated himself
in murder,
262
00:10:07,694 --> 00:10:09,521
but he was smart enough to, uh,
use a VPN while doing it.
263
00:10:09,565 --> 00:10:12,481
So now we're analyzing
the recording itself,
264
00:10:12,524 --> 00:10:13,743
pulling apart the tracks
265
00:10:13,787 --> 00:10:15,136
and looking
for anything distinctive.
266
00:10:15,179 --> 00:10:16,703
How's that going?
Uh, you know,
267
00:10:16,746 --> 00:10:17,965
it's a pretty sparse track,
but he's got
268
00:10:18,008 --> 00:10:19,706
lots and lots of layers
of effects
269
00:10:19,749 --> 00:10:21,490
- on his vocals.
- Probably to disguise it.
270
00:10:21,533 --> 00:10:24,536
That's what I would do if I was
trying to get away with murder.
271
00:10:25,363 --> 00:10:27,627
Speaking of murder,
did Dante send the case files?
272
00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:29,454
Yeah, he did.
273
00:10:29,498 --> 00:10:30,630
You just hit Comman...
274
00:10:32,675 --> 00:10:33,807
Andre Smith,
275
00:10:33,850 --> 00:10:36,287
better known
as the rap artist Dre Bids.
276
00:10:36,331 --> 00:10:39,464
He was shot outside his
recording studio three times.
277
00:10:39,508 --> 00:10:41,423
The only eyewitness
278
00:10:41,466 --> 00:10:43,425
was Cordell Marshall,
a rapper known as Brawlah.
279
00:10:43,468 --> 00:10:46,820
The report says that Brawlah
was a protégé of Dre Bids.
280
00:10:46,863 --> 00:10:48,125
Seems friendly.
281
00:10:48,169 --> 00:10:50,169
So, this Brawlah
282
00:10:50,169 --> 00:10:50,606
actually witnessed the shooting?
283
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:52,390
He arrived to
find the body,
284
00:10:52,434 --> 00:10:54,915
and he told his boys that he
saw Dilemma fleeing the scene.
285
00:10:54,958 --> 00:10:57,352
And the gun recovered
was registered to Dilemma.
286
00:10:57,395 --> 00:10:58,658
I don't know, Rob.
287
00:10:58,701 --> 00:11:00,485
I mean, it was Dilemma's gun.
288
00:11:00,529 --> 00:11:01,748
He confessed.
289
00:11:01,791 --> 00:11:03,314
Are you sure
- it's not him?
No.
290
00:11:03,358 --> 00:11:05,665
But there's more to it
than folks are letting on.
291
00:11:05,708 --> 00:11:08,276
Where can I find Brawlah?
292
00:11:10,104 --> 00:11:12,541

Can we try this again?
303
00:11:30,733 --> 00:11:32,733
Okay,
- everybody, reset.
Sorry, guys.
304
00:11:32,733 --> 00:11:33,734
Hi, can I help you?
305
00:11:33,734 --> 00:11:34,737
Uh, yes. I'm Sandra Wright.
306
00:11:34,781 --> 00:11:36,565
From Beat Muse podcast.
307
00:11:36,608 --> 00:11:38,523
I'm here
to interview Brawlah.
308
00:11:38,567 --> 00:11:40,264
It's for our piece
on the one-year anniversary
309
00:11:40,308 --> 00:11:41,439
of Dre Bids' death.
310
00:11:41,483 --> 00:11:43,441
I'm sorry.
You're not on the schedule.
311
00:11:43,485 --> 00:11:44,834
I should be.
312
00:11:44,878 --> 00:11:46,662
Uh...
Either we do this now
313
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:48,316
or we produce it
without him.
314
00:11:48,359 --> 00:11:50,492
All I know is I wouldn't want
to be the person who tells him
315
00:11:50,535 --> 00:11:54,191
he wasn't included in
the big tribute to his mentor.
316
00:11:56,890 --> 00:11:58,456
He was the best to ever do it.
317
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:01,111
And when Dre Bids took me
under his wing, it was like...
318
00:12:01,155 --> 00:12:03,157
being drafted into the NBA.
319
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,246
I know his death
must have been painful for you.
320
00:12:05,289 --> 00:12:08,205
But can you take me
through that night?
321
00:12:08,249 --> 00:12:09,990
I got a text from him earlier.
322
00:12:10,773 --> 00:12:11,905
He thought something
might be poppin' off
323
00:12:11,948 --> 00:12:13,210
at the studio that night.
324
00:12:13,254 --> 00:12:14,864
But by the time
I got there, I...
325
00:12:14,908 --> 00:12:17,127
I couldn't believe it.
326
00:12:18,215 --> 00:12:20,435
My man's lying dead
on the ground.
327
00:12:20,478 --> 00:12:22,437
And Dilemma?
328
00:12:26,310 --> 00:12:28,922
It ain't snitching
if the man already confessed.
329
00:12:30,271 --> 00:12:32,229
He was peeling off
just as I rolled up.
330
00:12:32,273 --> 00:12:35,232
So you actually saw him
or just his car?
331
00:12:35,276 --> 00:12:37,017
Who else would it be
in his whip?
332
00:12:39,019 --> 00:12:40,977
What's the deal
with all of these questions?
333
00:12:41,021 --> 00:12:42,544
Ain't you here about his music?
334
00:12:42,587 --> 00:12:46,069
Yeah, but this new
confession track by Sid Slay
335
00:12:46,113 --> 00:12:47,941
made it seem
like he was there, too.
336
00:12:47,984 --> 00:12:51,248
Look, I don't know nothin'
about a Sid Slay.
337
00:12:51,292 --> 00:12:54,164
All I know is I got Dre's text,
left Cypher
338
00:12:54,208 --> 00:12:55,252
and found
him dead.
339
00:12:55,296 --> 00:12:56,732
And had I seen his text sooner,
340
00:12:56,776 --> 00:12:57,864
it'd be Dilemma in the dirt.
341
00:12:57,907 --> 00:12:59,779
You were at Cypher Club
that night?
342
00:12:59,822 --> 00:13:01,128
What I said.
343
00:13:01,171 --> 00:13:03,260
Anything go down that night?
Any conflict?
344
00:13:03,304 --> 00:13:05,045
Nah, we were celebrating.
345
00:13:05,088 --> 00:13:06,873
My man just came home
from a ten-year bid.
346
00:13:06,916 --> 00:13:08,004
It was all love.
347
00:13:08,048 --> 00:13:10,050
What about Daoud Blickman?
348
00:13:10,093 --> 00:13:11,660
Did you see him there
that night?
349
00:13:11,703 --> 00:13:13,053
Dilemma's son?
350
00:13:13,836 --> 00:13:15,795
Hell nah,
his punk ass wasn't there.
351
00:13:15,838 --> 00:13:17,797
Shotta Boys had the spot
on lock.
352
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,973
If Daoud or anybody else
repping B-Set
353
00:13:20,016 --> 00:13:21,148
would've showed up that night,
354
00:13:21,191 --> 00:13:23,715
they'd've left
in a body bag.
355
00:13:24,542 --> 00:13:27,937
So Daoud lied about where he
was the night of the murder?
356
00:13:27,981 --> 00:13:29,330
You don't think...
357
00:13:29,373 --> 00:13:30,897
He's someone
Dilemma would want to protect.
358
00:13:30,940 --> 00:13:32,637
And the kid's got motive.
359
00:13:32,681 --> 00:13:33,943
You think he's Sid Slay.
360
00:13:33,987 --> 00:13:35,858
It'd explain
why the voice is disguised.
361
00:13:35,902 --> 00:13:37,947
But if his father
is covering for him,
362
00:13:37,991 --> 00:13:39,470
why would he risk
putting it out there?
363
00:13:39,514 --> 00:13:41,298
I mean, what does
he have to gain?
364
00:13:41,342 --> 00:13:43,213
I'm on my way to find out now.
365
00:13:43,257 --> 00:13:45,302
How's it going
analyzing that track?
366
00:13:45,346 --> 00:13:47,304
Mm, nothing yet.
367
00:13:47,348 --> 00:13:48,653
But you know how they say
368
00:13:48,697 --> 00:13:50,220
married people
shouldn't work together
369
00:13:50,264 --> 00:13:52,092
if they want to stay married?
370
00:13:52,135 --> 00:13:54,007
Yeah, we have, uh...
371
00:13:54,877 --> 00:13:57,445
...made a few
adjustments.
372
00:13:57,488 --> 00:13:58,663
You look nervous.
373
00:13:58,707 --> 00:14:00,013
You want to stop?
374
00:14:00,056 --> 00:14:01,841
Just don't get caught.
375
00:14:05,409 --> 00:14:07,847
- No. No. Stop.
- No.
376
00:14:07,890 --> 00:14:09,326
Do it again.
You'll live to regret it.
377
00:14:09,370 --> 00:14:10,501
Oh, so you want
to throw hands, huh?
378
00:14:10,545 --> 00:14:12,590
Yeah, I do.
Oh.
379
00:14:14,288 --> 00:14:15,332
Hey.
380
00:14:15,942 --> 00:14:17,942
You're back.
381
00:14:17,942 --> 00:14:19,075
Aunt Vi, you're... here.
382
00:14:19,119 --> 00:14:21,469
Yes. I got back early.
383
00:14:21,512 --> 00:14:22,687
Who's your friend?
384
00:14:22,731 --> 00:14:23,950
Um...
385
00:14:24,776 --> 00:14:26,866
Aunt Vi, this
is Cameron.
386
00:14:26,909 --> 00:14:29,520
But he has to get home, so...
387
00:14:29,564 --> 00:14:30,913
Oh, nonsense. Cameron...
388
00:14:31,653 --> 00:14:32,872
...why don't you come on in
for a bit.
389
00:14:32,915 --> 00:14:34,264
I just ordered
a pizza.
390
00:14:34,308 --> 00:14:37,920
A'ight. Yeah,
that sounds cool. Thanks.
391
00:14:42,055 --> 00:14:43,970
So...
392
00:14:44,013 --> 00:14:46,146
you go to
Dee's school?
393
00:14:46,189 --> 00:14:48,235
Nah, to Jefferson.
In the Bronx.
394
00:14:48,278 --> 00:14:49,932
So then how'd you two meet?
395
00:14:49,976 --> 00:14:51,064
Uh, through Tiffany.
396
00:14:51,107 --> 00:14:52,892
- Yeah, she's my cousin.
- Oh.
397
00:14:52,935 --> 00:14:54,502
That's nice.
398
00:14:54,545 --> 00:14:55,720
So,
399
00:14:55,764 --> 00:14:56,896
are you a sophomore, too?
400
00:14:56,939 --> 00:14:58,332
Junior, actually.
401
00:14:58,375 --> 00:15:00,769
So you must be starting
to think about colleges.
402
00:15:00,812 --> 00:15:02,031
Oh, nah.
403
00:15:02,075 --> 00:15:03,903
Not going
to college.
404
00:15:04,642 --> 00:15:05,905
Really?
405
00:15:05,948 --> 00:15:07,428
And why is that?
406
00:15:07,471 --> 00:15:09,909
Well, I just believe it's
not worth going into debt for.
407
00:15:09,952 --> 00:15:11,649
I got
other plans.
408
00:15:11,693 --> 00:15:12,694
Oh, I see.
409
00:15:12,737 --> 00:15:14,870
You're a-- you're a pragmatist.
410
00:15:16,437 --> 00:15:19,396
Well, college is a luxury
that most of us can't afford.
411
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,572
And that's why people
in my position, we...
412
00:15:21,616 --> 00:15:23,531
we create other options
for ourselves.
413
00:15:23,574 --> 00:15:26,447
You know, Cameron,
I'm all for options, but...
414
00:15:26,490 --> 00:15:28,579
I think a degree
can be very helpful,
415
00:15:28,623 --> 00:15:31,669
especially for those of us
who aren't starting out on a...
416
00:15:31,713 --> 00:15:33,323
on a level playing field.
417
00:15:33,367 --> 00:15:36,065
Well, Cameron's
a straight A student.
418
00:15:36,109 --> 00:15:38,285
I mean, it doesn't take money
to be smart.
419
00:15:39,112 --> 00:15:40,461
Growing up in the hood,
it never stopped
420
00:15:40,504 --> 00:15:42,942
my parents from exposing me
to everything,
421
00:15:42,985 --> 00:15:44,987
from politics
to poetry.
422
00:15:45,031 --> 00:15:46,946
And those
high tuitions,
423
00:15:46,989 --> 00:15:48,208
they're there for a reason.
424
00:15:48,251 --> 00:15:50,036
It's to keep people
like me away.
425
00:15:50,079 --> 00:15:52,429
So why should I go broke
for the privilege
426
00:15:52,473 --> 00:15:54,954
of being somewhere

00:16:15,496 --> 00:16:16,976
Hey, yo,
435
00:16:17,019 --> 00:16:18,368
let me get a minute.
436
00:16:18,412 --> 00:16:19,979
- All right, dude.
- Mm-hmm.
437
00:16:28,857 --> 00:16:30,206
Look,
438
00:16:30,250 --> 00:16:32,992
all due respect,
whatever you think you need,
439
00:16:33,035 --> 00:16:34,645
my moms is wasting her time.
440
00:16:34,689 --> 00:16:36,082
Is that right?
441
00:16:36,125 --> 00:16:38,040
Why did you tell your mom
you were at Club Cypher
442
00:16:38,084 --> 00:16:39,999
the night Dre Bids was killed?
443
00:16:40,042 --> 00:16:41,522
Because I was.
444
00:16:41,565 --> 00:16:42,784
Really?
445
00:16:42,827 --> 00:16:45,134
So how was the Shotta Boys
homecoming party?
446
00:16:46,744 --> 00:16:48,137
You know
what I think?
447
00:16:48,181 --> 00:16:50,400
After Shottas jumped you,
you wanted some payback.
448
00:16:50,444 --> 00:16:52,185
But Gangsta Jr. got sloppy,
449
00:16:52,228 --> 00:16:54,665
and Daddy had to come
- clean up after him.
- It ain't like that.
450
00:16:54,709 --> 00:16:56,711
Got some other reason
you'd lie to your mom?
451
00:16:57,842 --> 00:17:00,019
All right, you want to know
where I was?
452
00:17:00,062 --> 00:17:01,281
I was here, recording.
453
00:17:01,324 --> 00:17:02,586
Now, you can check
the booking records.
454
00:17:02,630 --> 00:17:04,066
Well, why would you lie
about that?
455
00:17:04,110 --> 00:17:05,633
Because my pops
would've flipped.
456
00:17:05,676 --> 00:17:07,243
With all the heat
between B-Set and Shotta Boys,
457
00:17:07,287 --> 00:17:09,028
he told me
I couldn't record anymore.
458
00:17:09,767 --> 00:17:11,726
Because you were making
diss tracks.
459
00:17:11,769 --> 00:17:13,467
Like the one you're making
right now.
460
00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:16,165
Said with the crews warring,
it was too dangerous.
461
00:17:16,209 --> 00:17:18,646
When I found out
what he did for me,
462
00:17:18,689 --> 00:17:21,301
I didn't want to disrespect him
on top of it.
463
00:17:21,344 --> 00:17:23,520
After the Shotta Boys
messed me up,
464
00:17:23,564 --> 00:17:26,741
when I woke up
in the hospital,
465
00:17:26,784 --> 00:17:28,917
my pops
was there,
466
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,614
crying.
467
00:17:31,441 --> 00:17:33,748
I ain't never
seen him like that.
468
00:17:35,445 --> 00:17:38,057
He said it was his fault.
469
00:17:38,100 --> 00:17:40,537
He swore to put an end to it.
470
00:17:40,581 --> 00:17:43,018
Two weeks later,
Dre Bids was dead.
471
00:17:43,801 --> 00:17:46,369
My pops is in jail
because I got caught slippin'.
472
00:17:46,413 --> 00:17:47,936
He's in jail because of me.
473
00:17:47,979 --> 00:17:49,285
Did he tell you that?
474
00:17:49,329 --> 00:17:50,808
Nah, but I know.
475
00:17:50,852 --> 00:17:51,940
You sure?
476
00:17:51,983 --> 00:17:53,724
Because gunning down Dre Bids
477
00:17:53,768 --> 00:17:56,466
in front of his own
recording studio... Why?
478
00:17:56,510 --> 00:17:58,512
The whole thing,
it just sounds...
479
00:17:58,555 --> 00:17:59,861
clumsy.
480
00:17:59,904 --> 00:18:03,212
I think your father
is hiding something.
481
00:18:03,256 --> 00:18:05,388
From all of us.
482
00:18:05,432 --> 00:18:08,783
And this Sid Slay has
something to do with it.
483
00:18:10,872 --> 00:18:12,482
I got to get back to it.
484
00:18:12,526 --> 00:18:13,918
Yo, Terry!
485
00:18:13,962 --> 00:18:15,616
Sup?
486
00:18:19,533 --> 00:18:20,969
Hey, Dante. Got something?
487
00:18:21,012 --> 00:18:22,405
You could say that.
488
00:18:22,449 --> 00:18:24,364
I was looking
at witness statements.
489
00:18:24,407 --> 00:18:26,627
The night Dre Bids was shot,
there was a janitor
490
00:18:26,670 --> 00:18:29,151
working at the recording studio
earlier that night.
491
00:18:29,195 --> 00:18:30,239
He witness the shooting?
492
00:18:30,283 --> 00:18:31,762
He left before it happened,
493
00:18:31,806 --> 00:18:33,764
but I just
re-interviewed him.
494
00:18:33,808 --> 00:18:36,941
He says Dilemma wasn't
the only one there that night.
495
00:18:36,985 --> 00:18:38,334
As the janitor was leaving,
496
00:18:38,378 --> 00:18:40,336
someone else was heading
into the studio,
497
00:18:40,380 --> 00:18:42,730
only ten minutes
before Dre Bids' murder.
498
00:18:42,773 --> 00:18:43,992
He recognize 'em?
499
00:18:44,035 --> 00:18:45,950
He ID'd Jacob Styles,
500
00:18:45,994 --> 00:18:47,256
head of Trigger Beat Records.
501
00:18:47,300 --> 00:18:48,605
Label mogul.
502
00:18:48,649 --> 00:18:50,607
Trigger Beat?
That's Dilemma's label.
503
00:18:50,651 --> 00:18:52,131
If Styles was there that night,
504
00:18:52,174 --> 00:18:53,610
how come we're just finding out?
505
00:18:53,654 --> 00:18:55,917
When I leaned on him,
he got nervous, confessed.
506
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,615
Someone paid him 25 Gs
not to mention it.
507
00:18:58,659 --> 00:19:00,965
Now, why would someone do that?
508
00:19:01,749 --> 00:19:03,446
Is risking arrest
and hiding
509
00:19:03,490 --> 00:19:05,361
in the dark like a cockroach
really better
510
00:19:05,405 --> 00:19:07,363
than patiently telling me
what to do?
511
00:19:07,407 --> 00:19:09,322
Yes.
A hundred times yes.
512
00:19:09,365 --> 00:19:11,541
Just don't let anybody see me.
513
00:19:11,585 --> 00:19:14,022
I feel like a 12-year-old
sneaking a cigarette.
514
00:19:14,065 --> 00:19:16,546
With a life sentence
if I'm caught.
515
00:19:16,590 --> 00:19:18,244
Hey, Rob.
516
00:19:18,287 --> 00:19:19,810
Oh. Hey.
517
00:19:19,854 --> 00:19:21,421
Hey.
518
00:19:21,464 --> 00:19:23,510
Hey, were you able to access
Jacob Styles' financial records?
519
00:19:23,553 --> 00:19:25,729
The answer's yes,
in spite of the subpar Wi-Fi
520
00:19:25,773 --> 00:19:26,817
in this gin joint.
521
00:19:26,861 --> 00:19:28,123
People come here to drink,
not to...
522
00:19:29,211 --> 00:19:30,212
Sorry.
523
00:19:30,256 --> 00:19:32,432
That's all right.
So, um, yes,
524
00:19:32,475 --> 00:19:34,390
this guy Styles,
he likes to drop a lot of quiche
525
00:19:34,434 --> 00:19:36,566
in fancy restaurants,
uh, strip joints.
526
00:19:36,610 --> 00:19:39,003
So, nothing unusual
for a record label exec.
527
00:19:39,047 --> 00:19:40,440
What about the 25 K?
528
00:19:40,483 --> 00:19:42,311
Pretty sure
it came from Styles.
529
00:19:42,355 --> 00:19:43,573
He took out that much cash
530
00:19:43,617 --> 00:19:44,922
right before the janitor
got his bribe.
531
00:19:44,966 --> 00:19:46,576
But, listen,
I-I'm onto something else.
532
00:19:46,620 --> 00:19:49,449
Styles has been receiving
regular money transfers
533
00:19:49,492 --> 00:19:51,842
from an account
belonging to Dilemma.
534
00:19:51,886 --> 00:19:53,148
That's not unusual.
535
00:19:53,192 --> 00:19:55,150
Some artists have to pay back
record labels
536
00:19:55,194 --> 00:19:56,543
for advances on their projects.
537
00:19:56,586 --> 00:19:58,849
Yeah, but this is going
to Styles' personal account,
538
00:19:58,893 --> 00:20:00,893
not the label's.
539
00:20:00,893 --> 00:20:01,548
And it began
ten months ago,
540
00:20:01,591 --> 00:20:03,071
right after Dilemma
got locked up.
541
00:20:03,114 --> 00:20:05,943
So, payments to a guy
who was secretly there
542
00:20:05,987 --> 00:20:07,249
at the scene of the murder?
543
00:20:07,293 --> 00:20:08,859
Now, that is unusual.
544
00:20:08,903 --> 00:20:10,383
Right?
Um, babe...
545
00:20:10,426 --> 00:20:12,211
...it's getting crowded.
Put your cigarette away.
546
00:20:12,254 --> 00:20:14,474
Hi! Come on in.
547
00:20:15,257 --> 00:20:17,868
Hey, Mike, would you
mind keying me in?
548
00:20:17,912 --> 00:20:20,044
- I left my card upstairs.
- Do I know you?
549
00:20:20,088 --> 00:20:21,263
Yolanda, from Marketing.
550
00:20:21,307 --> 00:20:22,699
Katey introduced us
at my onboarding.
551
00:20:22,743 --> 00:20:25,702
Well, you were kind of
busy with deliveries.
552
00:20:25,746 --> 00:20:29,053
Look, Mr. Styles sent
me on a coffee run.
553
00:20:29,097 --> 00:20:32,405
I'm already ten minutes late,
and you know how he gets.
554
00:20:32,448 --> 00:20:33,928
It's only my second week.
555
00:20:33,971 --> 00:20:35,321
I don't want to get fired.
556
00:20:42,763 --> 00:20:43,851
Yeah?
557
00:20:43,894 --> 00:20:45,592
Yeah. Okay.
558
00:20:49,552 --> 00:20:51,467
Yeah, I know how
Mr. Styles gets.
559
00:20:51,511 --> 00:20:53,774
Especially when you wannabes
try to sneak in
560
00:20:53,817 --> 00:20:56,385
to give him your demos.
Now beat it.
561
00:20:57,299 --> 00:20:59,649
- I'll be back.
- I'll be here.
562
00:20:59,693 --> 00:21:01,782
Hit a wall with Styles.
563
00:21:01,825 --> 00:21:04,088
Looks like I'm gonna
need your badge.
564
00:21:04,132 --> 00:21:05,481
Couldn't charm your way in?
565
00:21:05,525 --> 00:21:07,353
Well, not everybody is
566
00:21:07,396 --> 00:21:08,571
as easy a mark as you are.
567
00:21:15,709 --> 00:21:17,972
Hey, what's happening?
568
00:21:18,494 --> 00:21:20,670
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
569
00:21:20,714 --> 00:21:21,932
But it looks like someone
570
00:21:21,976 --> 00:21:23,412
doesn't want me
looking into this.
571
00:21:28,896 --> 00:21:30,158
Got here as quick as
I could. You okay?
572
00:21:30,201 --> 00:21:32,900
Aside from my bruised ego?
573
00:21:32,943 --> 00:21:34,554
You get a look at the rider?
574
00:21:34,597 --> 00:21:37,296
Black-clad leather. Five-nine.
575
00:21:37,339 --> 00:21:39,428
Nothing distinct.
576
00:21:39,472 --> 00:21:40,690
Right-handed, but
he shot with his left
577
00:21:40,734 --> 00:21:42,953
because of the throttle.
Nine millimeter.
578
00:21:42,997 --> 00:21:45,695
Bike was a modified Ducati 848.
579
00:21:45,739 --> 00:21:47,523
Black stealth finish, no plates.
580
00:21:47,567 --> 00:21:50,613
Next time, try to get
a little more detail, will you?
581
00:21:51,658 --> 00:21:53,399
Question is, who's mad enough
582
00:21:53,442 --> 00:21:55,618
about you poking around
to take a shot at you?
583
00:21:55,662 --> 00:21:57,403
One way to find out.
584
00:21:57,446 --> 00:22:00,884
I'm sorry, I honestly don't know
what you're talking about.
585
00:22:00,928 --> 00:22:02,364
Oh, just like you
have no idea why
586
00:22:02,408 --> 00:22:04,192
someone just shot at me
outside your offices.
587
00:22:04,235 --> 00:22:05,759
What the hell is this
all about?
588
00:22:05,802 --> 00:22:09,458
The murder of
Andre "Dre Bids" Smith.
589
00:22:09,502 --> 00:22:11,634
NYPD's reopening
the investigation,
590
00:22:11,678 --> 00:22:12,896
and for some reason,
we don't seem
591
00:22:12,940 --> 00:22:14,681
to have your statement on file.
592
00:22:14,724 --> 00:22:17,161
Why would you if I wasn't there?
593
00:22:17,205 --> 00:22:20,469
You know, you can lie to me.
It just pisses me off.
594
00:22:20,513 --> 00:22:22,166
You lie to him,
595
00:22:22,210 --> 00:22:24,908
it's obstruction.
That's a crime.
596
00:22:24,952 --> 00:22:26,867
We have a witness placing you
at the scene
597
00:22:26,910 --> 00:22:28,999
- just before the murder.
- We also have evidence
598
00:22:29,043 --> 00:22:31,001
you paid the witness
to keep his mouth shut.
599
00:22:31,045 --> 00:22:33,177
I think I should
call my lawyer.
600
00:22:33,221 --> 00:22:36,703
If you killed Dre Bids,
you definitely should.
601
00:22:36,746 --> 00:22:38,487
Of course, then
I'll have to arrest you
602
00:22:38,531 --> 00:22:40,054
and perp-walk you out of here
603
00:22:40,097 --> 00:22:43,057
in time to be the lead
on the 6:00 news.
604
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:45,799
Or if you didn't, you
can just tell the truth.
605
00:22:47,801 --> 00:22:50,281
Fine. I was there.
606
00:22:50,325 --> 00:22:53,023
But I had nothing to do
with the shooting.
607
00:22:53,067 --> 00:22:57,071
I went there to try to talk
some sense into Dilemma.
608
00:22:57,114 --> 00:22:59,813
He and Dre Bids were supposed
to record a track that night.
609
00:22:59,856 --> 00:23:03,207
Dre Bids and Dilemma, together?
610
00:23:03,251 --> 00:23:06,428
It was a peace track.
611
00:23:06,472 --> 00:23:08,822
Dilemma told me
he'd had enough.
612
00:23:08,865 --> 00:23:10,954
The beef was messing
with his family.
613
00:23:10,998 --> 00:23:13,522
He and Dre Bids had come
to a truce.
614
00:23:13,566 --> 00:23:15,829
But he wasn't thinking right.
615
00:23:15,872 --> 00:23:18,658
They had just jumped his kid.
616
00:23:18,701 --> 00:23:20,224
I didn't want him
to do anything rash.
617
00:23:20,268 --> 00:23:22,444
Wait, you tried to
talk him out of it?
618
00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:25,229
Like it or not,
619
00:23:25,273 --> 00:23:26,448
violence sells.
620
00:23:26,492 --> 00:23:28,189
He was making a fortune.
621
00:23:28,232 --> 00:23:29,277
We all were.
622
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:30,800
It was career suicide.
623
00:23:30,844 --> 00:23:33,063
And why let some senseless
killings here and there
624
00:23:33,107 --> 00:23:34,848
stop you from making a buck?
625
00:23:36,284 --> 00:23:37,807
What happened that night?
626
00:23:37,851 --> 00:23:41,332
Like I said,
I was talking to Dilemma.
627
00:23:41,376 --> 00:23:42,986
Then shots rang out.
628
00:23:43,030 --> 00:23:44,553
You were with Dilemma
when it happened?
629
00:23:44,597 --> 00:23:45,946
Upstairs in the studio.
630
00:23:45,989 --> 00:23:47,513
He ran down to see
what was happening...
631
00:23:47,556 --> 00:23:50,429
And you? You got the hell
out of there, didn't you?
632
00:23:50,472 --> 00:23:52,561
Couldn't afford to have
your image sullied,
633
00:23:52,605 --> 00:23:53,736
so you paid to keep
your name out of it.
634
00:23:53,780 --> 00:23:56,826
You knew Dilemma
was innocent,
635
00:23:56,870 --> 00:23:58,741
and you still let him
go down for it?
636
00:23:58,785 --> 00:24:00,351
He insisted.
637
00:24:00,395 --> 00:24:02,092
Why would he take the fall
for something he didn't do?
638
00:24:02,136 --> 00:24:04,573
I asked. He said
it was none of my concern.
639
00:24:04,617 --> 00:24:07,489
And he's been paying you to keep
your mouth shut ever since.
640
00:24:07,533 --> 00:24:09,752
That's business.
641
00:24:09,796 --> 00:24:12,581
Do you know how much
him going away cost me?
642
00:24:12,625 --> 00:24:14,104
Tell me about this peace track.
643
00:24:14,148 --> 00:24:16,846
I think Dre Bids might've
laid down a few verses
644
00:24:16,890 --> 00:24:17,891
the night before.
645
00:24:17,934 --> 00:24:19,632
I'm gonna need that master.
646
00:24:32,993 --> 00:24:35,256
If Dilemma didn't fire
those shots, who did?
647
00:24:35,299 --> 00:24:37,519
Cops ran ballistics
on the gun, right?
648
00:24:37,563 --> 00:24:38,738
Did they run DNA?
649
00:24:38,781 --> 00:24:40,522
They didn't need to.
He confessed.
650
00:24:40,566 --> 00:24:42,611
And it's too late
to do it now.
651
00:24:42,655 --> 00:24:44,134
During the rains
last year,
652
00:24:44,178 --> 00:24:47,050
the facility where the case
evidence was stored flooded.
653
00:24:47,094 --> 00:24:49,488
Some material was lost,
some destroyed.
654
00:24:49,531 --> 00:24:51,402
This just keeps getting better
and better.
655
00:24:55,406 --> 00:24:56,756
Hey.
656
00:24:56,799 --> 00:24:57,887
Tell me
you're making some progress
657
00:24:57,931 --> 00:24:59,062
on that SoundCloud track.
658
00:24:59,106 --> 00:25:00,760
Well, technically, I didn't,
659
00:25:00,803 --> 00:25:02,152
'cause it would've required,
you know,
660
00:25:02,196 --> 00:25:03,589
borrowing some NSA software,
661
00:25:03,632 --> 00:25:05,329
which didn't really seem
like the best idea right now.
662
00:25:05,373 --> 00:25:07,680
So I outsourced it
to a hacker pal of mine.
663
00:25:07,723 --> 00:25:09,333
She pulled apart the audio
and found this
664
00:25:09,377 --> 00:25:11,074
under one of the tracks.
This is an announcement
665
00:25:11,118 --> 00:25:13,294
to students to show
your Bulldog pride
666
00:25:13,337 --> 00:25:14,513
for spirit week.
667
00:25:14,556 --> 00:25:16,166
Spirit week? Like high school.
668
00:25:16,210 --> 00:25:18,342
Yep, and there are
only two high schools
669
00:25:18,386 --> 00:25:19,996
in the New York area
with bulldogs as their mascots.
670
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,085
And only one has
a music lab.
671
00:25:22,129 --> 00:25:24,914
Uh, Washington-Hamilton High
in Queens.
672
00:25:24,958 --> 00:25:27,177
That's kind of a rough school.
673
00:25:27,221 --> 00:25:30,224
I could see B-Set and
Shotta Boys crew going there.
674
00:25:30,267 --> 00:25:32,792
Well, I checked the sign-in
records, and a student named...

00:25:32,835 --> 00:25:34,663
Excuse me.
676
00:25:36,404 --> 00:25:39,450
A student named
Sidney Rodgers
677
00:25:39,494 --> 00:25:40,669
had been there repeatedly.
678
00:25:40,713 --> 00:25:42,976
As in Sid Slay?
679
00:25:43,019 --> 00:25:44,847

696
00:26:19,708 --> 00:26:20,927
About a month ago,
697
00:26:20,970 --> 00:26:22,885
I was in Washington Square Park.
698
00:26:22,929 --> 00:26:24,278
Crews meet there to battle,
699
00:26:24,321 --> 00:26:25,714
and newbies try to make a name.
700
00:26:25,758 --> 00:26:27,237
That's why you were there?
701
00:26:27,281 --> 00:26:28,412
I tried to spit,
702
00:26:28,456 --> 00:26:30,023
but they weren't
trying to hear me.
703
00:26:30,066 --> 00:26:32,416
Later, the cops
rolled through.
704
00:26:32,460 --> 00:26:33,592
When everybody bounced,
705
00:26:33,635 --> 00:26:34,984
someone left a notebook.
706
00:26:35,028 --> 00:26:37,421
The rhymes were
dope as hell.
707
00:26:37,465 --> 00:26:39,728
So I laid it down
over a track I made
708
00:26:39,772 --> 00:26:41,251
and dropped it on SoundCloud.
709
00:26:41,295 --> 00:26:43,427
And you disguised your voice?
710
00:26:43,471 --> 00:26:45,212
Ain't no one gonna
take me serious as a girl.
711
00:26:46,300 --> 00:26:47,823
Female rappers these days,
712
00:26:47,867 --> 00:26:49,520
they lean into
their sexuality.
713
00:26:49,564 --> 00:26:51,740
It's all anacondas
714
00:26:51,784 --> 00:26:53,046
and peaches.
715
00:26:53,089 --> 00:26:55,526
It's empowering,
but not my thing.
716
00:26:55,570 --> 00:26:56,658
I'm more...
717
00:26:56,702 --> 00:26:57,920
Lauryn Hill.
718
00:26:57,964 --> 00:26:59,879
- MC Lyte.
- Exactly.
719
00:26:59,922 --> 00:27:01,445
But I need to stand out.
720
00:27:01,489 --> 00:27:04,753
I figured maybe I can get
some traction by being hard,
721
00:27:04,797 --> 00:27:06,146
like the guys.
722
00:27:06,189 --> 00:27:07,887
Sid, the best rappers
723
00:27:07,930 --> 00:27:10,977
are the ones who aren't trying
to be anyone but themselves.
724
00:27:11,717 --> 00:27:12,761
But I tried that.
725
00:27:12,805 --> 00:27:14,110
No one was interested.
726
00:27:14,154 --> 00:27:15,634
So, keep practicing.
727
00:27:15,677 --> 00:27:16,896
You got skills.
728
00:27:16,939 --> 00:27:18,811
But you got to be authentic.
729
00:27:18,854 --> 00:27:20,856
Only you know
what that means for you.
730
00:27:23,337 --> 00:27:25,252
You still got that notebook?
731
00:27:32,825 --> 00:27:34,522
There wasn't a name in it.
732
00:27:35,523 --> 00:27:37,264
I checked.
733
00:27:39,745 --> 00:27:41,398
No need for a name.
734
00:27:42,399 --> 00:27:44,445
I know exactly
whose book this is.
735
00:27:51,278 --> 00:27:52,714
It's your notebook,
Nasir.
736
00:27:52,758 --> 00:27:56,675
I recognized the drawing
from your other sketchbook.
737
00:28:00,983 --> 00:28:02,898
You wrote those rhymes?
738
00:28:04,508 --> 00:28:06,728
Nas, baby, why?
739
00:28:07,729 --> 00:28:09,905
Because he was there
that night.
740
00:28:09,949 --> 00:28:12,255
It was you your dad was
covering up for.
741
00:28:12,299 --> 00:28:14,997
No. He was home.
742
00:28:15,041 --> 00:28:17,434
No, Ma. I wasn't.
743
00:28:19,306 --> 00:28:21,264
Baby, what are you saying?
744
00:28:21,308 --> 00:28:22,701
You were here.
745
00:28:23,919 --> 00:28:25,616
I was. But...
746
00:28:25,660 --> 00:28:27,009
when you left
to get your braids,
747
00:28:27,053 --> 00:28:28,315
I heard Dad's phone go off.
748
00:28:29,142 --> 00:28:31,666
He must've left it in a
rush to get to the studio.
749
00:28:32,493 --> 00:28:33,799
It was a text
750
00:28:33,842 --> 00:28:36,584
saying that the studio session
was a setup.
751
00:28:36,627 --> 00:28:38,978
Dre Bids was strapped
and coming for him.
752
00:28:39,021 --> 00:28:40,501
Who sent the text?
753
00:28:41,328 --> 00:28:42,895
I don't know.
754
00:28:42,938 --> 00:28:46,637
But I couldn't reach Dad,
and Daoud wasn't picking up.
755
00:28:46,681 --> 00:28:47,900
So...
756
00:28:47,943 --> 00:28:49,989
I grabbed Dad's gun.
757
00:28:51,033 --> 00:28:54,036
I only brought it to the studio
so he could protect himself.
758
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,734
When I got there,
759
00:28:55,777 --> 00:28:59,128
I saw Dre Bids pulling a piece
from his trunk.
760
00:28:59,172 --> 00:29:01,478
He saw me, and...
761
00:29:01,522 --> 00:29:05,700
and I didn't mean to, but I got
scared and he...
762
00:29:07,180 --> 00:29:08,311
So I shot him.
763
00:29:10,357 --> 00:29:11,750
Twice.
764
00:29:11,793 --> 00:29:13,839
Next thing I know,
Dad grabbed the gun,
765
00:29:13,882 --> 00:29:16,276
wiped it down and pushed me
into his car.
766
00:29:16,319 --> 00:29:19,714
Said it was his fault for
beefing, but...
767
00:29:19,758 --> 00:29:22,499
...it wasn't Dad's fault.
768
00:29:22,543 --> 00:29:24,066
I'm the one who killed him.
769
00:29:24,110 --> 00:29:25,328
No. Oh, baby.
770
00:29:29,724 --> 00:29:31,204
Nasir...
771
00:29:31,247 --> 00:29:33,162
you said
you shot him twice.
772
00:29:33,206 --> 00:29:34,207
Are you sure?
773
00:29:35,077 --> 00:29:37,297
I've replayed the details
in my head for a year.
774
00:29:37,340 --> 00:29:38,341
Why?
775
00:29:38,385 --> 00:29:40,169
Because the coroner's report
776
00:29:40,213 --> 00:29:41,910
said that there were
three shots.
777
00:29:42,868 --> 00:29:45,218
Two shots were from a distance.
778
00:29:45,261 --> 00:29:46,872
They weren't fatal.
779
00:29:46,915 --> 00:29:50,179
A third shot
was from close range.
780
00:29:50,223 --> 00:29:51,354
To the heart.
781
00:29:51,398 --> 00:29:53,095
What are you saying?
782
00:29:53,922 --> 00:29:57,447
I don't think Nasir fired
the shot that killed Dre Bids.
783
00:29:58,274 --> 00:30:00,274

A year-old text?
786
00:30:07,283 --> 00:30:09,242
No one in Dilemma's circle
recognized the number
787
00:30:09,285 --> 00:30:10,547
that sent that warning.
788
00:30:10,591 --> 00:30:11,810
Can you trace it?

of resources,

00:30:13,768 --> 00:30:16,162
- I don't know.
- Didn't Brawlah say
791
00:30:16,205 --> 00:30:18,381

something might be going down

a warning text, too?

I ain't got time
for your BS podcast today.
893
00:33:51,159 --> 00:33:53,074
I'm not here
for no damn podcast.
894
00:33:53,118 --> 00:33:54,423
But I guess
you know that,
895
00:33:54,467 --> 00:33:56,164
since you sent
your little motorcycle guy
896
00:33:56,208 --> 00:33:58,208
to gun me down.
897
00:33:58,819 --> 00:34:00,864
Lady, you trippin'.
898
00:34:00,908 --> 00:34:03,128
You can drop the act.
899
00:34:03,171 --> 00:34:05,521
I know you sent texts
to Dilemma and Dre Bids
900
00:34:05,565 --> 00:34:06,740
the night of the murder,
901
00:34:06,783 --> 00:34:08,307
setting them
against each other.
902
00:34:08,350 --> 00:34:09,699
And why would I do that?
903
00:34:09,743 --> 00:34:11,919
Peace is a problem
if your brand is beef.
904
00:34:11,962 --> 00:34:14,487
It would've been the
end of your career.
905
00:34:14,530 --> 00:34:15,879
You wanted gunfire that night.
906
00:34:15,923 --> 00:34:17,403
You needed to keep it going.
907
00:34:17,446 --> 00:34:20,710
But when you saw Dre Bids
on the ground, wounded,
908
00:34:20,754 --> 00:34:22,016
you got scared.
909
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:23,887
I mean, if he survived,
910
00:34:23,931 --> 00:34:25,802
he might ask questions.
911
00:34:25,846 --> 00:34:27,326
But if he died...
912
00:34:28,414 --> 00:34:30,851
...then look who inherits
his kingdom.
913
00:34:31,678 --> 00:34:34,507
Everybody knows
that Dilemma killed Dre Bids.
914
00:34:34,550 --> 00:34:35,638
He confessed.
915
00:34:35,682 --> 00:34:37,510
True.
916
00:34:37,553 --> 00:34:40,121
But, thanks to me,
917
00:34:40,165 --> 00:34:43,037
the gun just got retested
for DNA.
918
00:34:43,907 --> 00:34:45,996
And it came back
with three matches.
919
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,824
One was Dilemma's.
920
00:34:47,868 --> 00:34:49,261
One was his
son's. And...
921
00:34:51,176 --> 00:34:55,789
...I'm sure if they were
to run saliva on this blunt...
922
00:34:56,616 --> 00:34:59,097
...the third
would match yours.
923
00:35:04,754 --> 00:35:06,060
I guess I was right.
924
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:07,844
Doesn't matter if you dead.
925
00:35:08,715 --> 00:35:10,499
One of 'em had to go.
926
00:35:10,543 --> 00:35:13,198
Even if you had to shoot
Dre Bids yourself.
927
00:35:13,241 --> 00:35:14,460
Damn straight.
928
00:35:14,503 --> 00:35:17,550
I'm supposed to fall off
'cause they went soft?
929
00:35:17,593 --> 00:35:18,986
Give up what's mine?
930
00:35:19,029 --> 00:35:20,509
I worked too hard for this, yo.
931
00:35:20,553 --> 00:35:22,685
Ain't nobody taking it away.
932
00:35:22,729 --> 00:35:24,252
Not Dre Bids.
933
00:35:24,296 --> 00:35:25,514
Not Dilemma.
934
00:35:25,558 --> 00:35:26,907
And not you.
935
00:35:28,082 --> 00:35:29,736
That's where you wrong.
936
00:35:31,477 --> 00:35:33,218
Because I'm here
to end you.
937
00:35:40,616 --> 00:35:42,879
Daoud, don't. I got this.
938
00:35:42,923 --> 00:35:44,923
The hell you do.
939
00:35:44,923 --> 00:35:44,794
Put the gun down.
940
00:35:44,838 --> 00:35:46,405
Nah, Nasir told me everything.
941
00:35:46,448 --> 00:35:48,929
How he shot Dre Bids twice
but there was a third bullet.
942
00:35:48,972 --> 00:35:51,149
You were first
on the scene.
943
00:35:51,192 --> 00:35:52,280
The witness.
944
00:35:52,324 --> 00:35:53,890
I was gonna ask this fool
what he saw,
945
00:35:53,934 --> 00:35:55,718
but guess I don't need to
anymore.
946
00:35:55,762 --> 00:35:57,198
Daoud, please.
947
00:35:57,242 --> 00:35:59,548
Yo, you been sweatin'
me and my pops for years.
948
00:35:59,592 --> 00:36:02,029
Now you got my little brother
wrapped up in this mess?
949
00:36:02,943 --> 00:36:04,205
Nah, this ends right now.
950
00:36:04,249 --> 00:36:06,903
You ain't about that life.
951
00:36:06,947 --> 00:36:08,253
Daoud, listen.
952
00:36:08,296 --> 00:36:10,037
Do you think this is
what your dad would want?
953
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,386
I ain't trying to hear all that!
954
00:36:11,430 --> 00:36:13,388
He was willing
to spend 25 years in prison
955
00:36:13,432 --> 00:36:15,260
to keep your brother
from this life.
956
00:36:15,303 --> 00:36:18,132
Doesn't that mean
something to you?
957
00:36:18,176 --> 00:36:20,003
You think he would
go through all that
958
00:36:20,047 --> 00:36:22,049
just for you
to switch places with him?
959
00:36:22,092 --> 00:36:23,877
Someone's got to pay a price.
960
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,793
Yeah, but not you.
961
00:36:34,627 --> 00:36:36,629
He's ruined
enough lives.
962
00:36:36,672 --> 00:36:38,370
You want him to ruin yours, too?
963
00:36:48,771 --> 00:36:50,077
You ain't got nothing.
964
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:51,644
When my lawyer's done,
965
00:36:51,687 --> 00:36:53,733
that DNA won't mean jack.
966
00:36:53,776 --> 00:36:55,474
Yeah, but your
confession will.
967
00:36:55,517 --> 00:36:57,258
Your mic's still open.
968
00:36:57,302 --> 00:36:59,782
I got a feeling that's the last
track you're gonna be recording
969
00:36:59,826 --> 00:37:01,480
for a while.
970
00:37:07,616 --> 00:37:09,139
So...
971
00:37:10,576 --> 00:37:11,794
...what are we watching?
972
00:37:11,838 --> 00:37:14,797
Action? Comedy?
Psychological thriller?
973
00:37:14,841 --> 00:37:16,234
It doesn't matter.
974
00:37:18,497 --> 00:37:20,194
You sure you don't want
to talk about it?
975
00:37:20,238 --> 00:37:23,023
No. It's nothing, Aunt Vi.
Really.
976
00:37:27,810 --> 00:37:29,421
Go on.
977
00:37:29,464 --> 00:37:31,249
Take it.
978
00:37:40,519 --> 00:37:43,261
All the drama in this house,
who needs a movie?
979
00:37:43,304 --> 00:37:44,827
Hey. What's good?
980
00:37:44,871 --> 00:37:46,786
- Not much.
- Uh...
981
00:37:46,829 --> 00:37:49,005
Look, about earlier... I just wanted to see if...
982
00:37:49,049 --> 00:37:50,703
Sorry, you go.
983
00:37:50,746 --> 00:37:52,182
I just wanted to see
984
00:37:52,226 --> 00:37:53,662
if you was down to catch
the new Jordan Peele movie
985
00:37:53,706 --> 00:37:55,098
next weekend.
986
00:37:56,404 --> 00:37:58,058
Uh... yeah.
987
00:37:58,101 --> 00:38:00,103
Yeah, sure.
That-That'd be great.
988
00:38:00,147 --> 00:38:02,584
Well, I mean, we don't have to.
989
00:38:02,628 --> 00:38:05,370
No, no. I-I just...
990
00:38:05,413 --> 00:38:07,676
You know, honestly,
I thought we were done.
991
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:09,069
Yeah, look,
992
00:38:09,112 --> 00:38:10,897
I'm sorry for tripping
like that yesterday.
993
00:38:10,940 --> 00:38:13,421
Uh, I was just...
994
00:38:13,465 --> 00:38:16,032
Look, I respect
that college matters to you.
995
00:38:16,772 --> 00:38:20,036
I'm just hoping you can respect
that it's not for me.
996
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,691
I'm not mad at you, though,
for pushing back.
997
00:38:22,735 --> 00:38:24,693
Well, good,
998
00:38:24,737 --> 00:38:27,305
'cause I do that.
999
00:38:27,348 --> 00:38:28,871
It's kind of who I am.
1000
00:38:30,308 --> 00:38:32,310
That's what I like about you,
Dee.
1001
00:38:32,353 --> 00:38:34,529
Most girls,
they wouldn't even care.
1002
00:38:34,573 --> 00:38:37,010
Okay, and it helps
that you fine, too.
1003
00:38:37,053 --> 00:38:39,012
Stop.
1004
00:38:39,055 --> 00:38:40,230
Okay, I got to go.
1005
00:38:40,274 --> 00:38:41,319
All right,
I'm-a talk to you later.
1006
00:38:41,362 --> 00:38:42,711
Okay. Bye.
1007
00:38:44,365 --> 00:38:46,106
Yes!
1008
00:38:46,149 --> 00:38:49,414
Beefing on records,
I provided for my family.
1009
00:38:49,457 --> 00:38:53,331
I never imagined
the damage it could cause.
1010
00:38:53,374 --> 00:38:56,159
My son has a price to pay,
and that's on me.
1011
00:38:56,986 --> 00:38:58,423
But us getting to this truth,
1012
00:38:58,466 --> 00:39:02,601
us being free
from all of this...
1013
00:39:04,124 --> 00:39:06,387
...we owe that to you.
1014
00:39:08,476 --> 00:39:10,217
Well,
1015
00:39:10,260 --> 00:39:13,568
your family can
come back from this.
1016
00:39:13,612 --> 00:39:14,656
Stronger,
1017
00:39:14,700 --> 00:39:16,658
with a
fresh start.
1018
00:39:17,485 --> 00:39:19,661
You got some work to do
in the community, though.
1019
00:39:21,054 --> 00:39:22,577
To repair what you helped break.
1020
00:39:22,621 --> 00:39:26,015
But the good thing is Daoud
is already doing his part.
1021
00:39:26,059 --> 00:39:27,103
What do you mean?
1022
00:39:27,147 --> 00:39:29,584
He's in the studio right now,
1023
00:39:29,628 --> 00:39:33,414

Well, the truth is, this track
would still be locked away
1037
00:40:08,493 --> 00:40:10,277
if it wasn't for your help.
1038
00:40:11,670 --> 00:40:12,975
I know it wasn't easy.
1039
00:40:13,019 --> 00:40:14,237
Our pleasure.
1040
00:40:14,281 --> 00:40:15,413
- It was a nightmare.
- It's a nightmare.
1041
00:40:15,456 --> 00:40:16,588
Don't ever ask us
to do that again.
1042
00:40:19,155 --> 00:40:22,463
Look, I know
not being able to be seen
1043
00:40:22,507 --> 00:40:24,639
using a computer is not ideal.
1044
00:40:24,683 --> 00:40:26,206
- It's more like impossible.
- Untenable.
1045
00:40:26,249 --> 00:40:27,990
- It's harrowing.
- Bad for our relationship.
1046
00:40:28,034 --> 00:40:29,470
Still,
1047
00:40:29,514 --> 00:40:31,820
it was really nice to be
back in the saddle again.
1048
00:40:31,864 --> 00:40:33,996
What you need is your own spot.
1049
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,389
Away from prying eyes.
1050
00:40:35,433 --> 00:40:37,347
Yeah. Because the city
is full of those.
1051
00:40:37,391 --> 00:40:40,829
I may have managed to find
a place you can use.
1052
00:40:40,873 --> 00:40:43,441
Seriously? Are you...
1053
00:40:43,484 --> 00:40:46,269
are you taunting me?
Because d-don't taunt me.
1054
00:40:46,313 --> 00:40:48,489
I'm not taunting.
1055
00:40:48,533 --> 00:40:52,058
It's an area
of condemned subway tunnel.
1056
00:40:53,668 --> 00:40:55,148
Right below the bar.
1057
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:01,546
No.
1058
00:41:03,199 --> 00:41:05,027
How did you pull it off?
1059
00:41:05,071 --> 00:41:07,073
Me? Oh, no.
1060
00:41:07,116 --> 00:41:09,162
I had nothing to do with it.
1061
00:41:09,205 --> 00:41:11,643
Because this space
no longer exists.
1062
00:41:11,686 --> 00:41:12,948
All evidence of it
1063
00:41:12,992 --> 00:41:14,994
has been erased
from city records in a way that
1064
00:41:15,037 --> 00:41:18,214
cannot and will not
ever be traced back to me.
1065
00:41:18,258 --> 00:41:19,912
And no one else knows
about it, either--
1066
00:41:19,955 --> 00:41:21,391
not the Feds
or the military.
1067
00:41:21,435 --> 00:41:22,915
To their knowledge,
this whole place
1068
00:41:22,958 --> 00:41:24,394
has been sealed off
for good.
1069
00:41:24,438 --> 00:41:25,918
Okay, well, what about
his digital footprint?
1070
00:41:25,961 --> 00:41:27,223
If anyone tracks him... No.
1071
00:41:27,267 --> 00:41:29,399
We're gonna have
to replace a few things.
1072
00:41:30,966 --> 00:41:32,925
Leech a different
electric source.
1073
00:41:32,968 --> 00:41:36,450
Reroute a network junction box.
1074
00:41:36,494 --> 00:41:38,147
And no-no more stupid risks.
1075
00:41:38,191 --> 00:41:40,541
Right? If we
can do all that,
1076
00:41:40,585 --> 00:41:43,065
we could be
completely invisible.
1077
00:41:43,109 --> 00:41:45,372
The only difference is, now,
1078
00:41:45,415 --> 00:41:47,156
you can leave.
1079
00:41:50,116 --> 00:41:52,684
So, what do
you think?
1080
00:41:57,297 --> 00:41:59,734
I think I got my life back.
