Only on Fox.

Previously on Shots Fired...
I killed Joey Campbell.

Had Lieutenant Breeland
not intimidated me,

I would have come forward
sooner.

You did this.

This is Ms. Hadad. It's
gonna be a supervised visit.

I've lost Kai.

Breeland has to be behind this.

Sweetheart...

Every man, every available unit.

Wake every son of a bitch up.

Preston Terry.

You should know.

Someone killed Breeland.

Come on!

I got these two!

Open up!

Open up!

Agent Akino, something's
going down at the Houses.

We need you
to get here.

Ecklund!

I got this.

What is all this?

Lieutenant Breeland was killed
tonight.

You know anything?

No.

Okay, just stay
inside, all right?

This is America?

Yo, that's not right!

Navy SEALs showed more restraint
raiding Bin Laden!

Back off!

Record him,
record everything.

What are you
restraining him for?

All right, all right, man,

take it easy.

Hey!

What the hell is going on?

Boy, get back in the house.

A murder was committed
on my turf.

You have no place here.

Sheriff, this is
excessive force

bordering on harassment.

A few hours ago,
Lieutenant Breeland

told his daughter
he was coming over here

to apologize
to Shameeka Campbell.

Now he's dead.

You call it excessive,
I call it thorough.

Wasn't he shot
on his own property?

After leaving here,
we believe he was followed.

So you don't know who did it?

Somebody here knows something.

And we're gonna come
back here

every day if we have to
until somebody talks.

I was trying to reach you
all night.

Deputy Carroll called.

He was impressed by the way

you handled that confession
with Arlen.

He wants us back
front and center.

Where were you?

I went for a drive.

Had to clear my head.

* Ooh *

* If our stars don't shine
in the darkness *

* Where do we go from here? *

Can you think of anything
your husband said recently

that seemed
out of character?

He said he was considering
early retirement.

It just came out of nowhere.

I figured it was
just midlife stuff.

Dad said something to me
yesterday.

He was that he was there
when Joey Campbell was killed,

and that he was trying
to cover it up

to protect the people
who were with him.

Did he say who he was
trying to protect?

No, but he said he was also
blackmailing someone.

That he was just trying
to make it right.

I-I'm sorry,

I can't do this today.

I'm sorry.

It's okay, you just...

If you want to know
anything else,

we're gonna have to do it
another time.

Thank you, ma'am,
for your time.

Breeland should've been
locked up, not murdered.

What's done is done.

We just need to focus on
presenting to the grand jury.

How am I supposed to move
to indict Beck now?

Without Breeland's testimony,

it'll be next
to impossible

to prove Jesse wasn't there
to buy weed.

I'll just have to get
that guy Lyndon to talk.

He already said.

He worked for Joey
and he sold to Jesse.

A grown man selling drugs
for a kid?

He lied his ass off.

I just have to get him
to admit it.

You believe
how hot it is today?

Yeah, global-ass warming.

What the hell
do you want?

I was on the other side
of the glass

when you told that fairy tale
at the Sheriff's office.

The one about Jesse and Joey.

Let me hear it again.

I sold weed for Joey.

Jesse was a customer.

The end.

Except Jesse didn't get high
and Joey stopped dealing.

This really
how you wanna play this?

Your boy Breeland ain't here
to protect you.

Go ahead,
put hands on me.

Give me an excuse
to pay your ass back

for that bunk-ass story
you sold.

I'm just trying to do right.

Keeping my job
so I could stay on parole.

But y'all seem to keep
the thumb on us.

Keep talking.

Breeland used my parole
as leverage.

Always sweating me
when he needed favors.

So you come
into the sheriff's department

lying on Jesse and Joey?

That was a favor?

I'm sure you wanna do right

after rolling over
for a dirty cop.

You were promised amnesty,
you'll get it.

I just need you to say
all this on the stand.

You lie up there, your ass is
going straight back to jail.

How much of a role do you think
race played in this?

A big one.

You want my advice?

Stick to the facts.

In this climate,

race will make everybody
uncomfortable.

You'll lose the grand jury,
whom I can assure you

is gonna look a whole lot more
like me than you or Beck.

You want me to ignore race
in a civil rights case?

He felt ostracized.

It affected him
when he approached Jesse.

Beck's actions are being
presented to the grand jury,

not his color, not Jesse's.

Race was a contributing factor.

I can't ignore that.

Mr. Terry, can you comment
on the indictment?

Mr. Terry, how do you feel
about the government's case

against Deputy Beck?
No comment.

Wait, is this case more
about justice or politics?

What? I didn't do anything.

License and registration now.

Get out.
I'm sorry.

Out of the car!
I'm sorry, all right?

Get out!

Is this video consistent
with Deputy Beck's statement?

No.

During our initial interview,

Deputy Beck said that
after refusing to comply,

Jesse eventually opened
his car door.

But in the video,
it's clear that Deputy Beck

physically pulls Jesse
from his vehicle.

And did you ask him
what prompted him

to pull Jesse Carr over
that day?

Yes.

Deputy Beck said
he pulled Jesse over

because he was a white guy
in that neighborhood,

and I quote,

"A white guy in that
neighborhood means drugs."

And were his suspicions correct?

Was Jesse Carr in that
neighborhood to buy drugs?

Lieutenant Breeland,
the first officer on the scene,

reportedly located marijuana
in the glove compartment.

I believe this is
false testimony.

I believe Lieutenant Breeland

planted the marijuana
in Jesse's glove compartment

in order to make
an unlawful stop

that resulted in murder
look legit.

And did you investigate
this theory?

Yes.

I discovered that Beck
had threatened to come forward

about abuses within
the sheriff's department

involving
Lieutenant Breeland.

This was shortly
before the Jesse Carr shooting.

I believe that
Lieutenant Breeland

planted the marijuana

in order to control Beck
and the situation.

And can you please explain
to the jury

why Lieutenant Breeland isn't
here to testify to that himself?

He's deceased.

Do you believe
Lieutenant Breeland

would testify that information

if he were here today?

Yes.

Thank you.

I swear I don't understand this.

It's like a damn free-for-all
for the prosecutor.

Witnesses get to speculate,
and I'm not even there

or even get a chance
to have my attorney...

It's-it's not a trial,
it's a hearing.

And you have something most
others in your position do not.

Once a cop says that
he feared for his life,

it's almost impossible
to indict.

Trust me.

Oh!

Here.

Ooh.

Jeremiah! Christian!

Boys, get back here!

This is not...

Excuse me.

Hi, he dropped this.

It gets a lot easier,
I promise.

Thank you.

They're precious.

Should any unrest break out,
Menard County's on call

in case we need backup.

That's not why
I asked you here.

Have a seat.

Sheriff, I trusted you

with the Auxiliary
Deputy program.

It was your job to keep
the volunteer deputies

and the citizens
of Gate Station safe.

Regardless of the outcome
of these grand jury proceedings,

you failed miserably.

Unfortunately,
Lieutenant Breeland...

Let's not scapegoat the dead.

I'm demanding your resignation.

Forgive me if I'm not
exactly inclined

to heed your demands, Governor.

You'll heed, Sheriff.

I'm personally committed
to that.

Why don't we just see what Arlen
has to say about this?

Governor.

Deputy Brooks,
from your point of view,

what was it like
for Deputy Beck

being the only black man
on the force?

I doubt it was fun for him,
but he never complained.

And what about the tours?

He never expressed his concern
over a program

where wealthy white men

were patrolling
poor black neighborhoods

with your fellow
police officers?

Yeah.

He hated it.

Like, wanted to shut it down,
and he wasn't alone.

I thought it was
messed up, too,

but it wasn't about skin color.

It was about right and wrong.

So you are testifying under oath
that Deputy Beck

never felt isolated,
never felt outcast?

Well, yeah, he felt isolated,

but not just
from the department.

Then from whom?

The black community.

I'm not saying
the sheriff's office

is some liberal utopia,

but I know one thing:

white people never called Beck
a sellout.

I think Pierce
was right.

Should've taken race out of it.

When we walk
into that courtroom,

we're asking a jury to ignore

whatever personal biases
they carry.

There's the law
and then there's reality.

Something just came
on the news.

Any last words?

Uh, yeah.

I finally got my license
to shoot these crackers.

That's right.

Oh, man.
That's my boy.

No, no, you know
I'm just playing, man.

Uh, real talk,

you know how hard I've worked
for this badge, man.

It just feels good to be able
to do things the right way,

you know, make a difference,
treat people with respect.

I'll make y'all proud.

So what was that,
the director's cut?

A whole lot different

than the first video
your paper put out.

Beck's cousin reached out.

He said he had a video

of Beck calling
white people "crackers."

Our paper needed inroads online,

so we paid him
a thousand bucks for it.

And you just decided to release
the most provocative part.

My editor insisted.

So why release
the rest of the video?

Your editor looking
for more followers?

I posted it.

I don't know if Beck

is guilty or not,

but if the media is gonna
publicly lynch the man,

I thought people should see it.

The release of the full video

proves that my client
is not a racist.

As a matter of fact,

Deputy Beck has been railroaded
by the DOJ,

and I suggest
they drop this case

and instead spend their efforts

investigating the underbelly
of corruption in Gate Station.

Hey, what's up?

It's about Lyndon.

Sheriff deputies
caught him selling drugs.

They said he was using
the auto shop as a front.

That's convenient.

Exactly.
We gotta get him out.

We gotta get him
on the stand.

I tried. He's being processed.

Also got himself a lawyer

who says I coerced a testimony
out of him.

You didn't, did you?

What?

I'm sorry.

I-I just have to wrap
my head around this.

He was my star witness.

Guess you'll have to give
a hell of a closing argument.

I thought these proceedings
were about race.

Maybe you thought these
proceedings were about race.

After all, isn't that

what our justice system's
always been about?

Ever since the Jim Crow era,

black men being sent
to work camps

for spitting on the sidewalk

or making the
god-awful mistake

of looking a white man
in the eyes.

That isn't just the history
of Gate Station.

That is the history
of this country.

We have a race-based
justice system

rooted in our biases,

rooted in our prejudices.

It's that very same system

that taught Deputy Beck

to be the officer
he was revealed to be

the day he encountered
Jesse Carr.

Great.

Po-po.

Check this out.

You lost, boy?

No, sir.

These proceedings

are about the common sense facts
of the case.

What are you doing
in this neighborhood?

Why did you pull me over?

'Cause you don't look right.

I didn't realize
it was illegal

to be in this part of town.

Depends on what
you're doing here.

I came for some fried chicken.

Deputy Beck

pulled over an unarmed
young man,

a young man who posed no threat
of any kind.

License and registration.

What? I didn't do anything!

License and registration now.

Yet Deputy Beck chose
to escalate the situation.

Get out.
Sorry.

Get out of the car.

See, the facts suggest

that marijuana had been planted
inside Jesse's vehicle

in order to substantiate a stop

that should have never been made
in the first place.

His civil rights were violated.

Deprivation of rights
as defined by law.

And as a result,

Jesse Carr lost his life.

An indictment
doesn't mean

that an accused is guilty
or innocent.

It just means that
there have been

enough unanswered questions
that have been presented

to warrant a trial.

History tells us
that white jurors

will empathize with the victim.

I'm sorry, all right?

Black jurors will empathize with
the shooter.

Get out of the car!

I'm asking you all

to stop yourselves right now
from doing that.

Why?
Get out of the...

I'm asking you to empathize
with a justice system

that needs to answer
our prayers for fairness,

common sense... and humanity.

That is what is
at stake here, folks:

the humanity
of our justice system.

Because if Deputy Beck
were a white cop

who pulled over a black boy

named Trayvon or Tamir
or Emmett,

I'd be asking
for the same thing.

I'd be asking for an indictment.

All right, here we go.

In about five minutes,
the jury will be

in their third hour
of deliberations.

It's crazy how it all
comes down to this.

What?

The fate of justice

in the hands of 16 randomly
selected people.

What about you?

Still believe
in the system?

I've seen many
a guilty man walk.

Makes you understand

why people take matters
into their own hands.

But failure's not
an option.

Beck, then Arlen,
then Platt.

Preston Terry.

Thanks.

Jury reached a decision.

Hey.

Josh?

It's okay, it's okay.

What's up?

Josh, I'm sorry.

I'm here to arrest you.

No.

They decided to indict.

Do you mind if I get a minute
just to say good-bye?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Damn it, it's not right.

You're a good person.

You're a good man.

Hey, come here.

*

* Where do we go? *

* Oh, darkness *

I'm glad it's you, man.

Pack him up
and take him away.

Don't bring him back.

Drive him away.

* Ooh, yeah *

* If our stars don't shine *

* In the darkness *

* Where do we go from here? *

* Is this the land of the free *

* Or the heartless? *

* Where do we go from here? *

Excuse me, Ms. Carr,

can you tell us
what this means to you?

You're supposed to be
drinking champagne.

I don't feel much
like celebrating.

Yeah.

Today, when you said
you understand

why people take matters
into their own hands,

what'd you mean by that?

You have something
you need to ask me?

You have something
you need to tell me?

Yeah.

This is a mistake.

What is?

This.

Us.

You know, I'd be hurt
if you asked

what it is you're questioning,

but at least I'd respect you
for having the guts to say it.

Ashe...

Ashe, hold up.

It's been about three weeks
since Deputy Beck's indictment.

Deliberations have resumed

in the case of the U.S.
government versus Arlen Cox.

You must indict.

Make it right,
you must indict.

Mr. Terry,
care to comment?

Make it right.

Mr. Cox is the founding officer
and CEO...

Joey had a crush on a girl
from his class.

Her mother insisted
he come over for dinner,

you know, so the family
could get to know him better.

Afterwards, he called
to tell me that

he could tell
the girl's mother liked him,

especially when he told her

he wanted to enroll
at NC St... State.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

He wasn't sure the dad
liked him, though,

but he promised
he would tell me everything

when he got home.

The girl lived
about ten minutes away.

An hour went by
and I couldn't reach him.

Soon after that, two cops,
Breeland and Derkin, came over.

And they told me
my boy had been shot.

They said they thought
it was drug-related

and they searched his bedroom.

Then they said they recovered
weed from my son's bedroom.

I didn't believe them,

but they said since the drugs
were found in my home,

that I could lose custody
of my youngest son, Shawn.

Thank you, Ms. Campbell.

No further questions.

Between Cory
and Shameeka,

we've had excellent
witness testimony.

Mr. Terry,
we should rest.

Not yet.

Not until I get Arlen
on the stand.

Mr. Terry.

Mr. Wyatt?

What are you doing here?

We need to talk.

What about?

Breeland mentioned
he was holding on

to some sensitive info.

Info your people
should see.

I don't know what it was,

but I think he may have had
a storage unit.

Where is it?

I wish I could
tell you.

He wrote something
about storage

two different times
in a calendar.

I'll keep digging.

With everything
Breeland shared

about the sheriff's
department,

I don't know who
I can trust out here.

Let's keep this between us.

Can't hide behind
your money now.

Lieutenant Breeland waved me
out of the car

and he ordered me to,
to handcuff the young man.

And I-I attempted
to follow his orders.

And did you hear
the young man screaming,

"Somebody call my moms,
somebody call my moms"?

Yes, I did.

And yet we are to believe that
you were the one scared?

Well, he was
a bit unstable.

So you think a person
scared for his life

should have a demeanor
of stability?

No, I didn't say that.

Was he scared for his life,
yes or no?

Answer the question.

Yes or no, Mr. Cox?

Yes!

Yes, he was, as was I!

I was frightened for mine.

And whatever authority

Lieutenant Breeland
was attempting to impose,

all he managed to do was to...

was to get the poor boy
more frightened, more violent,

and he kicked me in my knee.

And I, I-I-I wanted

to discharge my Taser,

and I reached for my gun
by mistake.

Yes, I was unstable.

So was he.

My God.

Hey!

Come here!

The hell you
running for, Joey?

Y'all like to crack heads.

Got any drugs on you?

I'm not hustling anymore.

So are you
a choir boy now?

Are you?

You turn around and put
your hands up there.

For what?
'Cause I asked you to.

Why?

Man, get off me!
You know the drill!

Somebody call my moms!

You gotta tell me why!

Somebody call my moms!

Don't you resist me!

Don't cuff me, man!

Stop resisting!

Somebody call my moms!

Sir!

Get off me!
Handcuff him for me.

Please...

You can help cuff him now.

Roll him over.

Call my moms!

Somebody!
Ow! Ow!

Get off me, man!

Let me go,
man, come on!

Somebody call my moms!

Somebody call...

You shot him.

Why the hell'd you shoot him?

Get in the car now.

- Somebody call my justice!
- Somebody call my justice!

Somebody call
my justice!

Somebody call my justice!
Somebody call my justice!

Somebody call
my justice!

Somebody call my justice!

Somebody call my justice!
Somebody call my justice!

We, uh...

We presented
the best case we could.

Unfortunately,
the grand jury has decided

not to indict Arlen Cox.

To Ms. Campbell,

to all of you...

...I'm sorry.

They're letting a murderer
get off,

same as they always do!

Always!

We need to burn this place down!

No! No!

No, damn it, no!

Look, now, some of y'all
knew Joey.

Some of y'all never even
heard of him

till he got killed,
but you're here, so...

I guess we're all
in this together.

We're with you, sister.

We need to step up, y'all.

We need to step up!

They got these cops right here

to make sure we don't
act the fool.

But we need to step up

before these cops act the fool
on one of our kids again.

We got to organize.

Y'all want
to honor my son.

Y'all want to honor Joey.

We cannot be
a reactionary community.

Not no more, y'all.

Not no more.

America doesn't see us.

We're Americans, too.

The system needs
to be accountable

to the people!

It can't end like this.

I know.

I know.

How do you propose to bring
the city and state together

when so many people feel
that the system is unjust?

By working with community
leaders, law enforcement,

business owners,
and educators.

For example, after deep
reflection on my part

and some number crunching
by my team,

we are reinstituting
the education initiative.

That would be the initiative

funded by Cox Group Financial,
correct?

The Cox Group

will no longer be affiliated
with the initiative.

I've reached out to some members
of the community for support.

It will still be
privately funded,

but I believe
with an issue as precious

as educating our children,

the character of those
who contribute

is as important as the funds
you receive.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You may have just lost

your most valuable
campaign donor

just one week before a very
tough election, Governor.

If I'm going to lose,
I'll do so with clean hands.

We put a lot of work
into this case.

Let's lick our wounds
and get the next one.

The next one is Sheriff Platt.

You don't have approval
to pursue this.

I have evidence given to me
by Deputy Beck

that proves the training records
have been falsified.

The falsified training records
will be blamed on Breeland.

It's time to move on,
Mr. Terry.

This is coming
from the Deputy Supervisor.

For whatever it's worth, I don't
get inspired much anymore.

You inspired me.

I believe your husband
may have a storage unit

that could help the police
locate his killer.

Yeah, we found the key.

You did?

Yeah, but we don't know
the address.

My husband's lawyer
asked us about it,

but we felt more comfortable
giving the key to the sheriff

and asking him
to look into it.

He just left.

We can call him
if you like.

No, no, that won't be necessary.

Thank you.

Mr. Wyatt, any progress

on locating Breeland's
storage unit?

You mean the address
I left with Akino?

What?

At your hotel.

She didn't tell you?

Actually, I...
I just missed her call.

If you have the address handy,
can you text it to me?

No problem.

*

He didn't know what the hell
he was doing out there.

I told him to cuff the kid
and he shot him.

Easy.

Take it easy.

As far as you know,
it's a drug-related homicide.

Stick with that story.

Don't deviate
under any circumstances.

You got a warrant?

Looks like breaking
and entering to me.

Put that weapon on the ground.

He recorded your conversation

because he didn't trust you.

I'm guessing it was
for good reason.

Maybe you stood
for something once,

but you covered up
Joey's murder,

you falsified training records,
and you...

you killed one of your men.

You're going to jail,
Sheriff Platt.

Justice isn't won
in the courtroom.

It's won in the street.

I'm on the front lines

every day.

And my guys
are on the front lines

every day,

and I treat them as my family.

And they're the only family
I got.

That's something to stand on.

I'll take that recorder
off your hands.

It's evidence.

Inadmissible in court.

Fortunately,

we have a search warrant
for this facility.

Your good friend
Governor Eamons

helped us sift
through the red tape.

Put your weapon on the ground.
You're under arrest.

Thank you.
Welcome.

Any word
from the powers that be

about Platt?

Well, he admitted
to falsifying training records

and to covering up
Joey's murder.

But he wants a deal before
discussing Breeland's death.

These guys
and their deals.

You know something?

Breeland's gone,

Beck and Platt
are locked up,

and I still don't know if we
made Gate Station any better.

You might never know.

We just have to keep trying
to save the world

one case at a time.

* This is a woman's world... *

We had our first dance here.

We did.

It was this close
from becoming a barroom brawl.

I don't see any threat
of that here now.

* Oh *

* I know you heard *

* This is a man's world *

* Yeah *

* But this is a woman's world *

* Money *

* Just don't compare... *

Did you really think I was
capable of killing Breeland?

It crossed my mind.

That's what you think of me?

I just know how much
your daughter means to you

and how you'd do
anything for her.

But now I know
what makes you different

than the people we put away.

And what's that?

You want to do good.

You are good.

Thank you for being there
when there was no one else.

Yeah, well,
somebody once told me

partners gotta have
each other's back.

* But this is a woman's world *

Gonna miss you.

* Let's talk about the power *

* Hey *

* The power of a woman *

* Tell me who can give *

* Life to a baby boy *

* And turn him into a man? *

* Hey. *

So the same grand jury
that did the impossible--

indicted a cop--

let another man guilty
of the very same crime

roam free.

Rather than watching
from the sidelines,

we need to be
active participants

in the pursuit of justice.

There needs to be more of us
in the jury pool.

In order for that to happen,

we need to register to vote.

We have our new friend
Sarah Ellis

who is here to help us
organize that effort.

Pastor,

I'd register to vote
if you go run for something.

We can all vote!
We can all vote!

I don't like to be put
on the spot like that.

And lastly,
I extended an invitation

to one of the deputies
in the sheriff's department

to come talk to us,

and it appears
that he's accepted.

Welcome, Deputy Brooks.

Thank you.

As Pastor Janae said,
I'm Deputy Brooks.

I know this won't happen
overnight,

but I think
we should get to know

the people of this community

What is this?

A list of civil rights
violations

from inmates at your various
correctional facilities.

I'm never gonna rest,

not until you get

* Been traveling
these wide roads *

* For so long *

* My heart's been far *

* From you *

* 10,000 *

* Miles gone *

* Oh, I wanna come near *

* And give you *

* Every part of me *

* But there's blood
on my hands *

* And my lips are unclean *

* In my darkness, I remember *

* Mama's words reoccur to me *

* "Surrender to the good Lord *

* And he'll wipe
your slate clean" *

* Take me to your river *

* I wanna go *

* Oh, go on *

* Take me to your river *

* I wanna go *

* Oh, go on *

* Take me to your river *

* I wanna know... *

...is so much better.
But Deadpool has got more...

My bad, dude.

No problem, man.

Anyway, does anyone have
any questions so far?

No.

All right, great, let's head
to the student store.

* Take me to your river *

* I wanna know *

* Wanna know, wanna know,
wanna know. *
