That's the thing about dying.

You know? 'Cause...

I ain't never believed

I mean, it ain't no different
than when they tell you

in church to pray
your damn problems away.

Speakin' all this shit out loud

don't do nothin'
but give it life,

make it realer
than it actually is.

You don't believe in therapy?

Well, I've been through
the same shit

as my baby brother here.

Maybe even worse.

But you don't see me drownin'
in no fuckin' bottle.

Just so I'm clear,
what did you think

was gonna happen
when you brought Lou

to Cedar Shores two weeks ago?

Did you think we were just
gonna sober him up

and then send him home?

Well, I dropped him off here
so y'all could fix him.

I ain't really think about
how you was gonna do it.

I mean,
that's your job, not mine.

I'm not a repairman,
Ms. Thomas.

The only one who
can fix Lou is Lou.

I can listen to him, share
some of my thoughts with him.

But he has to do the work.

It's his journey, not mine.

Well, then you overpaid,
'cause on the weekly,

this shit costs more than
a Caribbean cruise.

This ain't no fuckin' cruise.

But you right...

when you say that when
we speaking this shit out loud,

you make it real.

That's the whole fuckin' point.

Can't get at somethin'
if it ain't real.

Can't see it or know it
or fuck with it

until you accept...

that the shit exists.

And the only way to do that
is to speak it from your mouth,

to put it out in the world
so you can hear yourself.

Not everything meant
to go out into the world, Lou.

Some shit needs to stay close.

I'm speakin' on feelings, Raq.

My feelings.

Shit that belong to me.

Shit that matter to me.

This nigga got feelings, now.

You don't have feelings?

Of course I got feelings.

But, see, I don't get to roll
around in them like Lou.

[Dr. Caldwell]
And yet you're angry.

Maybe even slightly outraged.

Because it don't ever
seem to end with him.

What if I told you
that anger is simply

a manifestation of hurt?

That we get angry
because we hurt?

Sounds like your anger
different from mine,

'cause I ain't hurt.

I'm just over
all of this bullshit.

I mean, I thought you
brought me in here

to talk about my brother.

Why the hell we in here
talkin' about me?

I'm a'ight.
Nobody need to worry about me.

The question is,
how are we gettin' him right?

It wasn't me who brought you
here, Ms. Thomas.

It was your brother.

We asked Lou who in his life
meant the most to him,

who he wanted to talk to.

And he said you.

You're here because your
brother wanted you here.

Because, according to Lou,

you're the most important
person in his life.

Gerald Moore, Detective?

He was a CI.

He was working the

were suspicious.

if you have a connection

you have a connection

Real shitty.

Last week,

your mother turned in a handgun
that she found in your room.

Ma, what the fuck?

I found it in your closet.

I-I got scared
and I didn't know what to do.

You don't turn it in

[Garcia] It's not her fault.

In fact,
from where I'm sitting,

your mother's the hero
of this story.

She not only got an unlicensed
firearm off the street,

but she also helped
to solve a cold case.

Which is where you come in,
Shawn.

Yo, I never even used that gun.

I just bought it off some guy
on the street for protection.

I never fired a gat in my life.
Word is bond.

[Peng] As we always do when
a firearm is turned in,

we ran a ballistics check
on the pistol

your mother found
in your possession, and, uh...

[laughs] Guess what
we discovered, Shawn?

Your gun's ballistics
matches the weapon

that killed one
Frederic Williams.

Street name: Freddie Wilds.

I ain't have shit
to do with that.

Swear to God, Ma,
I never killed nobody.

My son is not a murderer.

Do you know that
your son was detained

on another matter
