- Breaking point.

The moment of greatest strain

at which someone or something gives way.

My definition of breaking point,

is the point of no return.

- You have anything for me?

What's taking so long?

Well, try harder.

Because if I don't have
something worthwhile,

and I mean soon,

I will make sure you
spend the next 10 years

of your miserable life in jail.

Do I make myself clear?

♪ Crack, crack, crack, crack ♪

- Tonight, all I got
is this real sweet tea.

It's got a crack right there.

You see that?

Texas tea.

- 'Bout a ten left.

'Bout a ten left.

What's up?

- Hey, that drone you gave me last time?

It was the bomb.

- Word.
- Let me get two more.

- Two?

All right, hold up.

- We keep nothin'
but the best products.

- Take care, man.

- Sorry I'm late.

My fiance had me runnin' a few errands.

- You guys have been engaged forever.

Anyways, how are you two doing?

- I could complain, but who would listen?

- Be patient.

Everything worth having
is worth fighting for.

- I guess.

- Let's get down to business.

Are the rumors about D.A. Fryer true?

- I was able to confirm 'em.

- So, she is retiring
at the end of the year?

- Yup.

- I wonder what her angle is.

- Well, word on the
street is she's retiring

due to health issues.

- If you believe that, I
have a bridge to sell you.

Anyway, I'm working on
something that will put me

in a position to be her next replacement.

- What about Assistant D.A. Thomas?

- What about him?

- I hear he's next in line.

- If everything I'm workin' on goes right,

I will be the next D.A..

If not, then I'll just resort to plan B.

- And what's that?

- I'll give Thomas an offer
that he cannot refuse.

- This is for you.

- Hey, you no pay.

You leave!

- Li Ling's store

was the neighborhood spot.

And she fit right in.

'Cause she was good and feisty.

- Let's go.

- Matter-of-fact, you know what?

Your shrimp fried ass always
thinks somebody's stealin'.

- This is for you.

- What do you say?

- Thank you, Mrs. Sawyer.

- And this right here is for you.

- I don't know what we'd
do without you, Brenda.

- Don't give up.

- Come on, girls.

- Bye.

- Miss
Sawyer, she was known throughout

the hood for helpin' out the needy.

- That's
me, my little bro, Mike,

who had just dropped outta college,

and my homeboy, T.J., AKA Pop Off.

- What can I get you?

- Yeah, I think 32 and 33.

Yep.
- How many?

Perfect.

- Yo, give me your money.

- No, no, no.
- Give me your money!

- No, do not do this.

No, no!
- Give me your money!

- When T.J. killed Mrs. Sawyer and

shot my little bro,

it set off a chain of events

that we would all later regret.

- Get the fuck back!

Ain't no hospital, man.

- Oh, hey detectives.

Looks like it's gonna be
another long night, huh?

- Let's hope not.

- Detective Thorne and Tucker.

They were like Batman
and Robin in the hood.

- Hey, Li Ling.

Looks like you got yourself a mess here.

- I'm tired of this.

Every week, same thing.

Who clean floor?

- Hey, we'll have whoever
did this come back

and give you a hand.

- You're such an ass, man.

Li Ling, d'you get a look
at who did this this time?

- Three black guy.

I no see face.

- Of course not.

- Hey guys.

- That's detective to you, buddy.

- Hey, Detective.

- What we got goin' on here?

- Elderly lady walks into the
store to play her lottery,

couple thugs follow her
in here, try to rob her.

So, she resisted.

And bang bang.

- You figured it out all by yourself?

- No, actually, I had your
mother helpin' me out.

- What'd you say?

- Well, did I stutter?
- Okay, okay, ladies, enough.

Okay?

Back to work.

- Can you believe this guy?

- Yeah.

Reminds me of another guy
fresh out of the academy.

- You guys hurry up.

You always take too long.

Hey.

No free, you pay.

- Oh shit.

Look at this.

- That's Captain Harry Sawyer.

He retire from the police
department after 32 years.

A real law and order type a dude.

- Wayde.

Come on in.

Jesus, what the hell you
doin' in my neck of the woods

this time of night?

Padre?

- It's Brenda, Harry.

- Harry, everything happens for a reason.

- Does it really, Padre?

- It does.

Yes, it does.

- What the hell happened?

- From what we can gather,

Brenda went into Li Ling's
store to play her lottery,

three men tried to rob the place.

- 30 years.

30 fuckin' years she
gave to this community

and I guess that just
wasn't enough, was it?

- We know how you feel, Harry.

But you need to stay out of
this and let us do our job.

- You got no fuckin' idea how I feel

and you damn sure better do your jobs and

find those motherfuckers before I do!

Now, get the fuck outta here!

The fuck out!

- Let's go.

- I was gonna hurry back.

- I hear your back.

- Once we
got settled in the hotel,

I called my main shorty
over to patch little bro up.

So how he lookin'?

- It was just a flesh wound.

- Flesh wound.

You serious?

- What?

- He's gonna be all right.

Shawn, let me talk to you.

What is goin' on?

- Breaking News.

- Oh shit, we made the news.

- Tonight
at around 6:48 PM,

a botched armed robbery here
at Li Ling's Stop & Shop,

took the life of Brenda Sawyer.

There isn't much information
on the suspects at this time,

but police are looking

One may have been wounded
during this robbery.

Hey, you guys need a help?

Get away from here.

- Hey, I'm just tryin' ta help you, man.

- Get lost.

- Hey, I'm not afraid of you, Mr. Clean.

What?

- Get lost.

- When I left the hotel,

I went to the garage where
I kept the stash car.

So I could change clothes and change whips

to go find out what the
word on the street was.

- Hey, I'm talkin' to you.

Hey, I'm talkin to you.

Hey!

I'm talkin' to you.

'Kay, asshole.

- Oh, take it easy, man.

I was talkin'.

I was talkin' to him over there.

- Everybody
tough 'til them guns come out.

- Hey.

- Hey, um.

I think I lost my keys.

Do you know the number of a
towing company, by any chance,

I could call?

- Take the rental.

for a come up.

- O.G.

- The fuck, O.G.?

Are we fuckin' up your hustle?

We was just tryin' to get
this money, but, shit,

three guns is better than two.

Stink cash, you no way, man.

- Man, y'all're dumber
than a bag of bricks.

Y'all ain't hear what
happened over here earlier?

- What?

- And don't you stay across the street?

- We walked over here.

Thinkin' 'bout stealin' the car,

crashin' it into the store,

and doin' a little snatch and grab.

- Smash and grab?

Y'all rise up outta here, man.

- Aight, man.

Damn.

- You serious?

This man talkin' bout?

Shit, man.

Bernadette and Yvette were

the neighborhood gossips.

- I can't be wearin'
no cornrows to church.

Now, just put the roller in
my hair and stop complainin'.

- They
couldn't stand my guts.

So, whenever I would hear
a false rumor about me

in the hood,

I knew they probably started it.

- Hey, look over there.

Who's that?

I don't know who that is.

Look at that.

Hey, hey look at that.

- To be honest with you, we're
used to the police comin'

around here lookin' for Shawn.

It was business.

Nothin' personal.

That was business.

But this?

This is personal.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

Where are my manners?

I'm Bernadette.

Bernadette Williams.

- I clean old people's ass
all night long for a living.

You know I ain't bringin'
that shit into my house.

- All that evilness
that goes on out there?

- Now, if we wanted to see some evilness,

all we gotta do is sit right
over there for a few minutes.

- Well, I can understand that.

But a sweet old lady named
Brenda Sawyer was killed

in an armed robbery today.

- Harry's wife?

- Yes, ma'am.

That poor man can't seem to catch a break.

was killed in a hit and run.

Pretty girl.

Pretty.

Well, you don't think Shawn had anything

to do with this, do ya?

He done caused her so much heartaches.

might frequent?

- Well.

There's that place down on Miller Street

where all them hoodlums hang out.

of Jesus in their life, hm?

That's all they need.

- Are you talkin' about Junebug Auto?

- Yeah, that's it.

- Ladies, you've been a big help.

If you see Shawn, please give us a call.

Thank you.

- Uh, excuse me?

Detective.

I almost forgot.

My niece, Carla, used to date Shawn.

- Don't be sayin' nothin'.

- Ah, she was Hell bell's
in love with that boy.

- What are you tryin' to
tell us, Miss Williams?

- Well, she used to visit me quite often

just to be close to him.

And one day I come home from
work and caught them doin'

all kinds of ungodly things.

If you know what I mean.

- Do you think your niece
was somehow involved

in the shooting?

- No, nothing like that.

Just, you know.

When she did decide to visit
me after that little incident,

he would come by and pick her up.

Take her to some rundown old
motel down on Chandler Street,

called, um.

Traveler's Lodge.

But you ain't heard that from me.

- You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?

- Yes sir.

- Thank you.

- Don't hurt nobody now.

Dang.

- I always wondered.

Did she hate me because
she caught me gettin' it in

with her niece?

Or was she really mad because
I wasn't gettin' it in

with her?

- You gonna get us killed.

- You need to
learn to take a chill pill.

Your paranoid self.

- She gonna get us killed,
that's what she gonna do.

- Still smokin' that marijuana.

You think I don't smell
it in your hair, huh?

- Leave me alone.

I ain't smokin' no marijuana.

I don't know what you're talkin' about.

You're gonna get us killed,
that's what you're gonna do.

You're gonna get us killed.

They're gonna come back.

They're gonna find us.

They-
- Keep your head still.

Keep your head still.

- I figured
I had to do somethin'.

I couldn't have me and my
little bro being implicated

in a homicide.

Even though we didn't pull the trigger.

Accessory to murder gets you 25 to life.

All day, every day.

- Hey.

Where you at?

- I knew she
had hella cameras up in there

and I doubt very seriously she'd turn

the surveillance tapes over.

Shit.

She hated the cops as much as we did.

- Bingo.

Damn.

- Hey yo, my boy, get up.

Get up right now.

O.G.?

- Get that gun out my face, man.

Hardheaded.

- You come get all the cash for us?

Lookit.

So, let me get this straight.

You gonna chase us off, come in this spot

and get the lick yourself?

- It's way over your head.

But.

Have at it.

Make sure you invest in them.

- He ain't know the
unemployment rate damn near

a hundred percent?

'Bama killin' us these days.

- Women like
Ballard figure they can get

whatever they want.

And truth be told, they can.

Because, most men's
weaknesses are pretty women.

- Daddy.

- This could be my lucky night.

- Mm hm.

- That as good for you as it was for me?

- It was all right.

- All right?

- I'm just joking.

You know you got it goin' on.

- How long I been telling you those things

are gonna kill you?

- We all gotta go one day.

- Oh, you're really somethin'.

- And that's why you love me long time.

- What am I gonna do with you?

- What you've been doing.

- Well, your wish is my command.

- Well, I wish you would
hit my favorite note.

- Hey, let's go.

Get up, get up, get up.

- What's goin' on?
- Get up.

Get up, get up.

- What's goin' on?
- We gotta roll, bro.

We gotta move.

Let's slide.

- When I couldn't find

the surveillance tape,

I figured the police had to
put the squeeze on Li Ling.

So it was time for us to get outta dodge.

didn't know was that Bernadette

to my low key spot.

- Thank you.

- Hi, may I help you?

- Man, never in my life did I think

I would get shot.

- This should teach your ass a lesson.

Man.

When all this is over, you
need to enroll back in school.

- Shawn, let me ask you a question.

- What's up?

- When Pops died, what made
you turn to the streets, man?

- I had to provide for you and ma.

I just couldn't let y'all
turn to the streets.

What's so funny?

- I was just thinkin'
back to when Bernadette

caught you and Carla
gettin' on in the house.

Oh shit.

Oh, she couldn't wait to tell
the whole damn neighborhood

what happened.

- Yeah, that was crazy.

If looks could kill, I'd be outta here.

She did me a favor.

- What you mean by that?

- After that, all the
chicks from round the way

was at me, bro.

They was comin' a dime a dozen.

- You know what?

You're always one head of
the game, you know that.

- What's takin' T.J. so long, man?

What is he doin'?

Bro, I'll be back.

- Shawn.

- What's up?

- I don't think I ever
told you this before,

but I guess this is a good time as any.

- What's up, man?

- I love you, bro.

- I love you too, man.

All emotional and shit.

- We're investigating a recent homicide.

Think some of our suspects
may have taken a room here

in the last couple of hours.

- Well, detective, we
get all types of people

that come through here on a daily basis,

so that wouldn't surprise me.

-
Have you seen this man?

- Ooh, I wouldn't forget a face like that.

- What do you mean by that?

- Tall, dark and handsome.

And rugged looking, too?

Definitely couldn't
forget a face like that.

- Miss.

Miss, have you seen this man?

- Si.

- Yes?

- Si, si.

- Maria, where did you see him?

- What room?

- Room 272.

- 1-43, possible signal five.

- Maria.

- Freeze!

- Harry?

He wasn't gonna wait
around for his buddies

to find out who killed his wife.

- Can I help you?

- Carla Roberts?

- Hold on a minute.

- I'm all right.

You go this way.

Go this way.

- Yeah?

- Carla Roberts?

My name is Sawyer.

Harry Sawyer.

I'm looking for a guy
named Shawn Dickerson

in regards to the death of my wife Brenda.

- What makes you think I
know Shawn's whereabouts?

- Ma'am, I am just
looking for some closure.

I'm sure if you lost someone close to you,

you'd want some type of closure too.

- Yeah, I did.

I did.

My dad died of cancer six years ago.

Look, I don't know where Shawn is.

I haven't seen him in awhile.

- I don't wanna kill you, but I will.

I know you know where he is.

- I told you.

I don't know where Shawn is.

- Where is Shawn?

- I don't know.

- Mom?

- Go back in the house.

- But, mom.

- Please don't kill my mommy!

- My God!

Speaking of phones, have you seen mine?

Okay.

Anyone ever tell you that you

- Freeze!

Put your hands where I can see 'em.

- We didn't do anything.

- Get outta the way.

- I
learned at a early age,

ain't gonna win against the Po-po.

- Hands down.

- Homies up
in trap spot were still livin'

But they say life slow's down for nobody.

And they ain't never lie.

- You be actin' like a little busta,

tryin' to treat me like a busta.

I'm sorry, I'm good.

I got better shit to do.

- Argue amongst yourselves.

Hey, Lou, man, come
check this shit out, man.

Like taking candy from a baby over here.

- I always knew you had a
horseshoe stuck up your ass.

- I don't know about
all that shit, but, uh,

get 'em, girl!

Damn!

Come on, man, Lou.

Get your bad luck ass
from up over here, man.

- Man, this ain't just your lucky day.

- Man, you know what?

Why don't you stick to fixin' cars, man?

Better yet, stick to cheerleadin'.

You suck at that, too.

- Man, don't hate the player.

Hate the game.

- You can't hate this game, player.

- You suck at that anyway.

How are we?

Okay.

Hurry back up.

- Yo, where you goin'?

- To mind my business.

- What's up?

You wanna hang out?

- Thanks, sweetie, but
you can't afford me.

- You youngin's'll never learn, huh?

- Come on, Casanova.

Double or nothin'.

- All right, hit it.

Let's do it.

- The
jungle creed says the strong

must feed on any prey at hand.

But what happens when the
predator becomes the prey?

- I see you've signed
your Miranda Warnings.

Okay then.

Let's get to it.

Why did you do it?

- Do what?

- Don't play games with me.

- I don't know what you talkin' 'bout.

- What's this gonna be like, huh?

Your fifth arrest?

- You the police, aint' you?

- That's what it says.

- Then do some policin'.

- That's how you wanna play?

Huh?

- Am I supposed to be scared?

Pssh.

I seen tougher dudes than you

in dresses 'round my way, homie.

- I been waitin'
to do this a long time.

You don't seem so tough now, do you?

Huh?

Here's a newsflash for you.

We have you positively
identified at the store

while Brenda Sawyer was being murdered.

- What store?

- Oh, I get it.

You just like to shoot
innocent old ladies, huh?

- I don't know nothin'
'bout no lady gettin' shot.

The only shootin' I know about
is what I see on the news.

So, if you got anybody sayin' they saw me,

they lyin'.

But it's you that's lyin'.

Ain't that what you do?

Lie?

Cheat?

Steal?

Kill.

Let me ask you a question, Detective.

- Go right ahead.

- How many innocent brothers
have you sent up the road?

How many fatherless homes
are you responsible for?

Huh, hypocrite?

Better yet.

What's your body count?

- So, what do you say, Lieutenant?

Should we arrest 'im?

- With what evidence?

- We have enough for an indictment.

- Where?

From what I've seen,

we can't even arrest him for
jaywalking, let alone murder.

- We can always build a case
once we get an indictment.

- No.

I don't like the way that sounds.

I've already let your
partner go way too far

with this suspect.

And now you want me to arrest
him without any evidence?

You're insane.

I have worked way too hard for my shield.

I'm not just gonna throw it away.

- We have an eyewitness.

And if we push her, she'll testify.

Besides, Detective Thorne and I?

We had your back that
time when Internal Affairs

came after you for the Bagwell shooting.

- Which is the only reason
I've let it go this far,

Detective.

- Want me to bring out the violins?

- You think you're dealin' with?

Huh?

You ain't about that life.

- Oh, motherfucker.

Book 'im.

- You got it.

- After I got
cased up, T.J. doubled back,

scooped up little bro.

- Boy, where have you been?

You know I been worried about you, right?

- It's a long story, but-

- Hi, Miss Dickerson.

- What happened to your leg?

- I got shot.

- You got what?

- But it's just a flesh wound.

- Where is your brother?

- He's in jail.

- I knew it.

I knew it, I knew it-
- Hey, it's not your fault.

- I knew.

I tried to raise you kids right.

Your father was no help.

I was the one that had to get
two, sometimes three, jobs

just to put a roof over your head

and some food on the table.

And this is what I get?

- I'm the one that decided
to drop out of colle-

- Yeah, and you come home
and look what happens.

I mean, when are you gonna
learn that the streets

ain't for you?

What do you wanna end up like him?

- That's not fair, Ma.

- Oh.

What's not fair?

T.J., how many times
have you been locked up?

- I gotta roll, Mike.

- Yeah, I think you better.

- I'll holla at you later, bro.

- And you better leave my son alone.

- Why would you say that?

Ma?

You know why they don't respect me?

It's because you baby me in front of them.

I'm a goddamn man.

- I told you boys

he was no good.

And he never will be.

- All right.

- Mama knows best.

- Knock knock.

- Hey, what brings you here?

- Word is your name is
floating around to preside

over the pending Sawyer case.

- Yeah, I'm aware of that case.

That assignment depends on two things.

- Like?

- Like, they have to
catch the murderers first.

All goes well and it goes to trial.

And I would have to be willing
to accept the assignment.

- Well they caught him last night.

And you will accept that case.

- Mornin'.

- Morning.

- I'm sorry.

- Hm.

- Mwah.

This looks good, Ma.

- Here you go.

- Mm, thank you.

Mm.

Mm.

What's wrong?

- I'm just worried about
you and your brother.

Hello?

- Hi Mom.

- Hi, baby.

- I got some bad news.

- Yeah, I know.

- How do you know?

- Your brother told me.

- Is he okay?

- Yeah, he's fine.

- Is he all right?

- Mom.

I ain't killin' nobody.

- Don't worry, baby, I know you didn't do

what they said you did.

I mean, you're a little
rough around the edges, but

I know you didn't murder anybody.

- I think
they're gonna railroad me, Ma.

- Well you let them try.

And after you beat trial,
we're gonna sue the shit

out of 'em.

- My
phone time almost up.

I left somethin' for you
behind the microwave.

- Yeah, I know.

- I love you, Ma.

- I love you too, baby.

- You know, I was thinking.

You work really hard.

When the D.A. steps down
and I take her place,

I'm gonna take you with me.

- Yeah.

These four years have finally paid off.

I'ma hold you to it.

- You're my right hand man.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- You hear about Harry Sawyer?

- No.

What about him?

- Apparently he's been runnin' around town

like some vigilante,
pullin' out guns on people

tryin' to find one Shawn Dickerson.

- Did they pick him up?

- No.

You know Lieutenant Burton
has a soft spot for him.

- Yeah, I bet she does.

Ah, can you get the door for me?

And, um, can you lock it on the way out?

Smile.

You've got Dickerson.

- That is true, but we still
don't have hard evidence.

- Well, that's what I
wanted to talk to you about.

I will begin the process
of conveying a grand jury

within the next few days.

- What you got up your
sleeves there, Ballard?

- Well.

I'm gonna need you and Detective Wayde

to testify at the grand jury.

- Our testimonies would be heresy.

- It's enough to get an indictment.

- What if she fails to
testify at the trial?

- Assistant District Attorney
Ballard, how are you?

- As good as can be expected.

- I bet you are.

- What did I do to deserve
an appearance by the outgoing

District Attorney?

- I just called to congratulate you.

- For what?

- I'm assigning you the Dickerson case.

And Drakes will be presiding over it.

Arraignment is scheduled
for tomorrow at 9 AM.

- I'm on it.

- And Ballard?

- Yes?

- I know it would just crush
you if someone else were

to take over once I retire.

- That it would.

- So don't screw this up.

- Duly noted.

- You already knew, didn't you?

- Yep.

- How?

- Let's just say a little birdie told me.

- Our lawyer
filed a speedy trial motion.

And, as a result, the
prosecution said they were ready

for trial less than a
year after I was arrested.

But Ballard knew in order
to get a conviction on me,

she would have to get Li Ling to testify.

A difficult task that she handed off

to her assistant, Chuck.

- Do you
swear to tell the truth,

the whole truth and nothing but the truth,

so help you God?

- I do.

- Can you please identify
yourself to the court?

- Yes, my name is Detective Wayde Tucker.

I've been with the
Orlando P.D. for 20 years.

- Can you please tell
the court what happened

when you and Detective Thorne arrived

at Li Ling's Stock & Shop on
the evening of March 5th, 2013?

- Yes, we got a call around 7 PM that

it was a possible homicide.

So, Detective Thorne and I
headed to the scene of the crime.

- Continue on.

- We arrived around 7:20 PM
and that's when we discovered

the body of Miss Brenda Sawyer.

- What happened next?

- I interviewed the owner,
Lucy Li Ling, and she said

three black men entered the
store, one with a handgun,

who shot her.

- Did Miss Li Ling positively
identify the defendant,

Shawn Dickerson, as the shooter?

- Yes, she did.

- Thank you, Detective.

No further questions, Your Honor.

- Would the defense like to
cross examine the witness?

- No, Your Honor.

- Hey, what you mean no?

- You may step down.

- Thanks.

- I got it.

- Do you have any more
witnesses you'd like to call

to the stand, Miss Ballard?

- After
callin' Li Ling several times

from the office and gettin' no answer,

Chuck decided to pay her a visit.

- Can you please tell the court your name?

- My name is Detective David Thorne.

And I've worked for Orlando
P.D. for the past 12 years.

- Got her.

- Are you telling the
court that Miss Li Ling

positively identified the
defendant, Shawn Dickerson,

as the killer of Brenda Sawyer?

- Yes, ma'am.

- Thank you, Detective.

- Would the defense like to
cross examine the witness?

- Yes, Your Honor.

Detective Thorne.

How long did you say you
were with the Orlando P.D.?

- 12 years.

- And how long have you been
in the homicide division?

- Two years.

- Okay.

Have you ever had any
complaints launched against you

since you've been with Orlando P.D.?

- Maybe a couple.

- You call 26 times a couple?

- No, but I was never-

- This list is like a
laundry list of malfeasance.

You've been accused of everything.

From harassment to evidence tampering.

To giving false testimony.

And you expect us to believe you now?

- I object, Your Honor, the
witness is not on trial.

- Overruled.

You may answer the question, Detective.

- Those allegations
have not been sustained

by Internal Affairs.

- One or two might be
considered a couple, Detective.

But 26?

I don't think so.

- I object.

- Sustained.

The jury must disregard
those last remarks.

- Nothing further.

- You may step down.

Now, Miss Ballard, do you
have any other witnesses

you want to call to the stand?

- Your Honor, may I approach the bench?

We have a slight problem
with our eyewitness.

- That is?

- We haven't been able to locate her.

- Then the defense moves
that the case be thrown out.

- Do you have anyone else
you can put on the stand?

- No one except forensics.

- Then you have one day to
produce that eyewitness.

I'll be forced to throw
out this case due to lack

of sufficient evidence.

- But, Your Honor-

- That'll be all, Miss Ballard.

- Court is adjourned until
11 o'clock tomorrow morning.

- Ballard wasn't used to

not havin' her way.

Her dreams of becomin' a
D.A. was now at jeopardy.

She wasn't about to go
out without a fight.

I'll give her that much.

- I know you're in there.

Is that-?

-
Old Drakes, freaky ass.

Couldn't hate on him, though.

He was playin' chess while everybody else?

They was playin' checkers.

- That bitch.

Watch where you're walking.

- Excuse me?

- You heard what I said.

- Bitch.

- Glad you could join us, Miss Ballard.

Can we proceed?

- Yes.

- Are you ready to call your
eyewitness to the stand?

- We were unable to locate the witness.

We're gonna need a few more days.

- You've taken enough of this court's time

and taxpayers' money, Miss Ballard.

In the interest of justice, I am forced to

throw out the case against
Shawn Dickerson due to lack

of suf-

- I call Miss Lucy Li Ling to the stand.

- Do you
swear to tell the truth,

the whole truth,

and nothing but the truth so help you God?

- I do.

- Can you please tell the court your name?

- Lucy Li Ling.

- Are you the owner of Stop & Shop?

- Yes.

- Miss Li Ling, did you
witness the shooting

that occurred at your
establishment that took the life

of Brenda Sawyer on the
evening of March 5th, 2013?

- Yes.

- Can you please point
to the person who you saw

shoot and kill Mrs. Sawyer?

- That's him!

He killed lady!

- She wanted me to do it.

- I most certainly did not.

- Oh my God.

- You put me up here?

- I had to do what the
fuck I had to do, son.

- You son of a bitch!

- No, no.

- What
happened was T.J. caught

a drug case about six months
before the Sawyer killin'.

He worked out a deal
with Ballard to bring her

a newsworthy case in
order to avoid jail time.

But when we walked up in
the store, T.J. recognized

Mrs. Sawyer.

And for some reason, decided to rob.

I guess he saw a lick that
he just couldn't resist.

But she wouldn't give up the money.

- Your shit's fucked up!

- I
decided to get a hotel room

and lay low until things blew over.

But the heat was on and we had
to get outta dodge quickly.

And on our way out?

T.J. ran up in the bathroom
and called Ballard.

He told her what happened.

But when he said I was at
the scene of the crime?

She decided to frame me for the murder.

After all, I was a big
fish in a small pond.

To this day, though, I
think him and Ballard

was messin' around the whole time.

Slimey bastards.

Ultimately, Ballard was
disbarred and charged

with several major crimes.

My lawyer, she went to
work for the D.A.'s office.

She ended up tryin' the case
just to stick it to Ballard.

Thanks to good ol' Judge Drakes.

As for me and little Bro?

The big man upstairs
had other plans for us.

- Tomorrow, we're going to
talk about Murphy's Law,

which basically says
whatever can go wrong,

it will go wrong.

And then tonight, I'd
like you to read the first

three chapters of this book.

It's called, "The Consequences
of Decision-Making"

by Nils Brunsson.

It's a wide range of the
most important writing

by one of Europe's leading
organizational theorists.

Be prepared when you come
back tomorrow to discuss

how Mr. Brunsson's writing
applies to your life

in regards to your
decision-making process.

Whether it's good, bad or indifferent.

Any questions?

Good.

See you tomorrow.
