I really think I want to set

it off here.

Tell me where it is.

Tell me where it is!

Official YIFY movies site: YTS.BZ

Y'all got 5 seconds.

5!

4!

People ask me how it all

happened that night, the

decisions that got me there.

Seriously, I don't tell them

anything.

It's none of their business.

Saying I'm evil.

It isn't about that.

This is a love story.

No! No! No!

Aaah! No!

My father served in the Army

and had bad dreams all the time.

I grew up with his screams.

No! No!

I loved him anyway.

What choice did I have?

Aaah!

Uhh! Uh!

It's okay, Daddy.

Everything's fine.

Uhhh!

Uhh! Uhh!

I won't live like this.

But my mother

couldn't take it.

Where are we going?

Dee, baby...

I can't.

You and your brother, take care

of your daddy.

Mama...

don't leave me.

No!

No!

No!

No!

No!

Hey!

Come in here and make me some

breakfast.

Where's your brother?

I don't know.

He left early.

Both of y'all is worthless.

Hey.

You know I don't eat my eggs

this damn hard.

Do it again.

If you want more details of

my lonely, unhappy childhood,

go somewhere else.

I'm not gonna talk about that.

I rarely saw my brother anymore.

And the few times that I did...

I wish I hadn't.

[ Children shouting

in distance ]

We're looking for

Jamal Johnson.

He hasn't been here

in a while.

Are you his sister?

Yeah.

Dee.

You know where he might be

staying, Dee?

No.

I haven't seen him in months.

Who else lives here?

My dad.

But he's at work right now.

Everything okay, Dee?

You could tell me.

Everything's fine.

You mind if we take a look

around?

Sure.

Come in.

How'd you become a cop?

I just applied, like any

other job.

I went through

the police academy.

You like it?

I do.

Because you get

to help people.

Are you interested in

becoming a police officer, Dee?

I don't know.

You can't be shy.

There's no place for a shy cop.

You need to know what you want

and grab it.

You think I could?

If you want something badly

enough, you can always get it.

There's nobody here.

Let's go.

What high school

do you go to?

Liberty.

The Belford Police Department

has a youth program at your high

school.

You should check it out.

I will.

If you really want to be a

good cop, you give us a call if

you see your brother around.

Okay?

Here. Take this.

I'll grab you a T-shirt

from the car.

I didn't rat out my brother.

But I did want to be a cop.

You let the police in my

house?!

What's wrong with you?!

There's nothing bad in here.

That's not the point.

The cops are not our friends.

They seemed nice.

What the hell you mean

they seemed nice?!

Huh?!

Did I ask you if they were

nice?!

Now, you want to be out

on the street?!

No.

Now clean yourself up and go

in there and fix me some dinner.

The police in my house!

For a while, I gave up the

idea of being a cop, because

what can it really do

to help me?

Nothing.

Five years passed, as they do.

I was still living with my

father.

I couldn't afford to move out.

I worked in a warehouse, but I

got fired.

Jamal had walked on me,

and we saw him less and less.

The Belford Police Department

has announced a new recruiting

drive.

Any Belford residents interested

in joining the police force are

urged to go down to their local

precincts.

Don't even think about it.

I need a job.

I don't care.

I don't want no cop in my

family.

I'm a grown woman, Dad.

So you're a grown woman now,

huh?

You grown?

You ready to move out

on your own?

If I had a real job, I could.

Okay.

The go ahead.

You apply for the police job.

But if they hire you, you're

staying here.

You ain't taking that paycheck

out this house.

Fine.

Yeah.

And don't even think about

turning in your brother.

I don't even know

where Jamal is.

And I don't want nobody in

this family to even know you're

a cop.

Who am I gonna tell?

And I need you to get out of

the house tonight.

I got a lady coming by.

Dad...

Go to a movie or something.

Maybe I'll go to a bar,

find a man to take me home.

I don't care where you go.

Just make sure you stay out past

midnight.

Shut up!

Hey.

May I help you?

I'd like to apply to be a

police officer.

Are you a resident of

Belford?

Yeah.

Alright.

Just fill this out.

That's it?

Then just sit in the chairs

over there.

Ever thought you'd be a cop?

No. Not really.

Crazy, right?

What if we get partnered up?

They got to hire us first.

Are you kidding?

I heard they're so shorthanded

they'll hire anyone,

as long as you're a resident

of Belford.

It's, like, the only rule.

Really?

Yeah.

I mean, it doesn't pay much,

but...

It's better than my last job.

And you get to carry a gun.

I just want to help protect

people.

That, too.

Okay.

You will spend the next two

hours filling out psychological

tests.

There are no wrong or right

answers.

Just want you to be honest.

How you feel.

The daily life of police

officers are mentally and

emotionally challenging.

So I want to make sure that you

guys are up for it.

Begin.

Hey.

So?

How do you think you did?

I think I did okay.

Yes, we got to be cops.

Let's get drunk.

You know, someday, we gonna be

patrolling right here in this

park, busting vagrants like us.

Like, "Yo, put that bag down!"

You'd really do that?

Depends who it was.

If it was one of my exes, yeah.

I would tase him

and cuff him, then throw him

in the truck.

You are terrible.

Hmm.

Girl, we're friends.

We can watch each other's backs

on the job.

You think we're friends?

Of course we are.

We don't seem like friends

to you?

I don't know.

Give me your address.

We're hanging out.

My father doesn't really like

when people hang around the

house.

Mnh-mnh.

No.

Fathers love me.

I mean, not -- not like that.

Sometimes like that.

But not --

But not your dad, though!

Tell me we can hire all

these.

The scores aren't great, but

I can clear all of them except

for one.

We need all we can get.

This applicant, superficial

and shallow.

And she scored low marks on

integrity and self-control.

Name?

Dee Johnson.

She was borderline, anyway.

She lied about her termination

from her last job and didn't

mention on her application that

she has a brother who is a

longtime fugitive.

Too bad.

We need black women,

particularly.

Dee!

Dee, I know you're in there!

Dee!

Open the door!

Wow.

You look terrible.

They didn't hire me.

They hire everyone.

Yeah. Not me.

So, what did they say?

I forgot to tell them that I

got fired from the warehouse for

stealing.

Who hasn't?

And my brother has a warrant

on him.

Okay. What's the charge?

Attempted manslaughter.

Please.

You don't think all cops have

jailbird brothers?

I also failed my

psychological test.

Wait.

How do you fail that test?

I just answered the questions

honestly.

You told the truth?

They said the answers didn't

matter.

Of course the answers matter.

The answers always matter.

You need to tell them what they

want to hear.

It's too late now.

Nuh-unh.

You just apply again.

They don't want me.

Okay, the guy who told me to

apply, he's a cop

in the eighth ward.

He failed his psych test the

first time.

When he reapplied, he brought

them a note from a psychiatrist

that said he was cool, and they

took him.

I don't have a psychiatrist.

He didn't have a

psychiatrist.

He faked the letter.

Look, they are desperate for

police officers.

They're not gonna reject you if

you don't give them a reason to.

So don't give them any more

reasons.

You're bleeding?

Oh, it's fine.

What's that?

It's nothing.

It worked.

Nine months later and I was in.

Three weeks at the police

academy, and I graduated a cop.

And once I became a cop, things

felt right.

Gloria was right.

Firing a gun felt so good,

like I could take on the world.

I was thrilled to be a cop.

Little did I know that becoming

a cop would destroy my life.

The police were still

shorthanded, so most of the

time, I didn't have a partner.

I didn't care.

I felt like I could help people.

Who'd you give it to?!

Huh?!

Who'd you give it to?!

Who'd you give it to?!

Who'd you give it --

Don't you lie to me!

Hey!

Leave her alone!

She took my stuff.

You want me to bring you in?

You want me to bring you in?

Move it!

Don't -- Don't -- Listen,

you're bleeding.

Talk to me.

I don't need a lecture.

I'm not trying

to lecture you.

This is my life.

Okay?

Is this the life you want?

I don't know.

You from around here?

Nah.

I took a bus.

I thought it looked nice.

I thought maybe I could get lost

somewhere.

You did that.

Hell, I'm not going back.

There's places here that will

help you.

Yeah.

What they want?

They just want you

to want it.

Want you to actually try.

I'm so tired.

I know.

Just come with me.

But I never fit in with the

other cops.

Tell me what you see.

People.

You're looking for crimes.

Tell me what's shifty there.

I don't see anything.

The hot-dog vendor, homeless

woman.

They're here every day.

She didn't pay for that

hot dog.

She's hungry.

He's a nice guy.

I want you to go over there

and shake him up.

Put some fear in him.

See how he reacts.

I don't think I can do that.

Then we have a problem.

I guess we do.

Why'd your friends run?

Exercising. Yeah.

They jogging and stuff like

that.

And you stayed, 'cause there's

nothing on you, right?

You want to frisk me?

You want me to frisk you?

Hey, I ain't ever said no to

a pretty woman.

Alright.

What's your name?

Officer Johnson.

Your first name?

Dee.

Dee.

I'm Trey.

Last name?

You like your job?

I do.

I wanted to be a cop once.

You still can.

Nah.

I'm good.

But I like having you around.

You know, keeping an eye out on

the neighborhood.

You gonna keep coming around?

Yeah.

Cool.

Okay. Cool.

Well, I'm gonna run, then.

Alright?

So nobody think I'm snitching.

I'm pretty fast.

Oh, good.

Chase me.

See you around.

Go on back to your car.

Hey, don't forget.

Look sad.

Alright?

I never understand why they

say men are like dogs.

I wish men were like dogs.

Dogs are loyal.

Dogs just want you to be happy.

I would have been more than

happy with a man like that.

But I decided, why not get

a dog?

It was love at first sight.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa!

What are you doing?

Didn't I tell you I don't want

no dog in this house?

He's mine.

Is it a police dog?

Maybe.

Maybe?

Don't.

Is he gonna ride around in

your police car with you?

No.

Then he ain't staying around

here.

This is my house, too.

I don't care.

I'm not laying around here and

having him stink up the whole

house.

But it's good enough for you.

Who the hell you think you're

talking to?!

Huh?!

Not anymore.

What are you gonna do,

arrest me?

I could.

Your own father?

I'll lock him up out back

when I'm at work.

And if you want a girlfriend,

maybe you should go

to her place.

She think she grown.

I did my job.

Played good cop, did all my

shifts, filled out all of my

paperwork.

I even won a couple of "officer

of the month" awards from the

local Kiwanis Club for my work

in the community.

Erica was doing great.

She was staying at a shelter.

They found her a job.

Sure, I wanted love,

but I was picky.

My house was my safe place.

I wanted a man who felt right to

bring there, and none of these

men felt right.

At least I have a dog.

Then one day there he was again.

What's up?

Hey.

Can I ride with you?

You know, see what it's like to

be a cop and whatnot.

You can ride in the back.

Oh, no. I've done that.

Really. Come on.

It's fine.

But when I tell you to get out,

you got to get out.

Alright.

Been looking for you.

I've been around.

Looking for me?

Maybe.

Alright, so, what now?

Just, uh, ride around,

bad guys and stuff like that?

Um, something like that.

What if you get a tip

about some bad guys?

I'd have to check it out.

Alright, then, let's go.

Where are we going?

Trust me.

Trespassing?

Come on.

You can go anywhere, do

anything.

This better be good.

Stop being so scared.

Come on.

This is it?

Yep.

This right here is one of my

favorite places.

There's no one up here.

Isn't that a good thing.

What's the crime?

Us not getting

any alone time.

That's the crime.

Come here.

I used to come up here

all the time and just look at

the city, think about all the

people who live here.

That's why you brought me

up here?

Isn't it nice?

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

And that's why I brought you

up here.

Where you been?

Out.

My dinner was supposed to be

on the table four hours ago.

Come on.

You're perfectly capable of

making your own dinner.

You been with a man?

Let me tell you something.

You ain't staying up in this

house being a sneak-around ho

like your mother was.

Don't talk about my mama.

Then don't be

a sneak-around ho.

Where is he?

Who?

My dog.

I don't know.

He probably ran off.

Damn you.

I told you I didn't want no

damn dog.

Shadow.

Come on, Shadow, where are you?

Shadow, where are you?

Come on, please.

Hey, hey.

Have you seen a dog this little,

all black?

Shadow!

Uhh! Uhh! Uhhh!

Uhh! Get -- Get away! Get away!

Uhh! Uhh! Uhhhh!

Uhhh! Uhh!

Uhh!

No! Uhhh!

Uhhh!

Uhh!

Uhh! No!

No, please! No!

Uhhh! Uhhh!

No! No.

No! No!

Aaaah!

Uhhh!

Trey was right.

I can do anything.

Aaahh!

When it comes to dogs,

finding love is easy.

Dogs just want to love you and

be loved.

Now, I know what you're

thinking.

How could I bring another dog

into this place after what

happened to Shadow?

Come here, girl.

I never found him, but I think

he's buried in the backyard.

But I'm not gonna look there.

I can't bear to know.

So, why would I bring Cupcake

into this house?

Come here, Cupcake. Up.

Well, now that I was here alone,

I wanted company more than ever.

For you.

Hey.

Hey.

Uh, I need to know if I

should report a missing person.

Is this for a case or...

My dad.

You don't know if your dad's

missing?

I mean, he is his own man.

Does he have a girlfriend?

Something like that.

Is he with her?

It's just been two weeks.

Think he might be in trouble?

I just thought there was a

procedure for this sort of

thing.

You can fill this out if

you want.

When he comes home, let us know,

we'll pull it from the system.

Got it.

Yo.

What would happen if your dad

walked in here right now?

Don't worry about it.

He's gone.

With Dad's paycheck no longer

coming in, I had to find a

second job to make ends meet.

Fortunately, like hiring

off-duty cops as security.

The restaurant was run by

Maria Lopez and her children

Alicia and Diego.

They had a lot of cash business,

so they wanted a guard there so

there was no problems.

And there was never any

problems.

It was an easy gig.

Stand in the corner, keep an eye

out, and get paid cash at the

end of the night.

Plus, they gave me lots of

leftovers.

The family talked a lot of

Spanish to each other.

Probably talking about me.

I didn't care.

The food was good.

Meanwhile, Trey came over a lot.

Cupcake liked him fine.

I liked him fine, too.

Tell me that you don't have

five girls out there.

No, I don't have five girls

out there.

Just one?

No.

Just you.

A handsome guy like you?

I mean, yeah, I've --

I've had girls before, but...

none like you.

How about you?

I've never had any girls

before.

Stop it.

You know what I mean.

No man like you.

Alright.

You know if we keep seeing

each other, you're gonna have to

stop breaking the law, right?

Why can we not put all that

aside when we're together.

Trey...

Hmm?

Do you know somebody who's gonna

hire me...

pay me well?

I tell you, I got obligations

to my brother.

I mean, can you afford to take

care of me right now?

Not right now.

Alright, then don't ask what

I'm doing.

It's just until I get right.

And I'll walk away.

Okay?

Okay.

Good.

I do want to take you

shopping, though.

I got no issue with that.

I like doing for him,

giving things to him.

I like the fact that he wanted

to be with me.

I encouraged that.

I figured it would keep him

out of trouble.

See you later.

Yeah.

Appreciate it.

I'm Trey's brother Latrell.

He tell you about me?

That he lives with you.

You a cop.

What you want with him?

We're seeing each other.

How much older are you?

Just four years.

And you know what he does?

Do you know what he do?

That's funny.

Look, don't jam him up.

I'm not --

Don't say nothin'.

You want what's best for him?

That's cool.

Well, just keep him out

of a cell, you hear?

I want what's best for him.

Yeah.

A'ight?

When I say I wanted the best

for him, I meant it.

I really did.

The only thing that mattered was

having fun with him.

He even took me to the beach.

I didn't even think I liked the

beach.

But, with him, I did.

Tell me what you want.

What?

You know, like, with us.

The future.

I don't know.

I don't really believe in the

future.

I just want to be happy

right now.

You happy?

Of course.

Good.

Hey, hey.

I've seen them before.

It's okay.

It doesn't make them

attractive.

Dee, you know you can tell me

anything, right?

I used to, um...

cut myself...

whenever I feel, like, alone.

Just how, like, I felt like I

was in control of the pain and

in control of my body.

Don't trip

'cause everybody --

everybody has scars.

There's a story behind

every scar.

Check this out.

I had seen his scar before,

but I never felt comfortable

enough to ask him bout it.

What happened?

It's crazy, right?

A lawn mower just jumped up

and bit me.

What?

What?

Nah, I'm just playing around.

I, uh, fell off my bike, trying

to do tricks to impress my

brother.

I know. I know.

It's stupid, but...

it's a part of me now.

And I ain't ashamed about it.

So never -- never be ashamed.

Scars are beautiful.

You...

are beautiful.

Tell me we can just stay here

forever.

You know it gets cold at

night.

I have you to warm me.

Well, that works for me.

Don't worry, sweetie.

I started picking up as many

extra shifts as I could.

But I spent as much time as

possible with Trey, because

he made me feel alive.

Why you ain't bustin' 'em?

They aren't hurting anyone.

Alright.

What would your boss

say about that?

I go with my gut.

If my gut says it's okay, then

it's okay.

Crap. Get down. Get down.

So stuck up.

Who?

Nobody.

Well, can I come up?

Get up.

Damn.

If anyone asks you why you're

riding around with me, tell 'em

you're writing a story for a

school paper.

What school?

Any college.

They ain't gonna check.

Alright.

Whatever you say.

I cannot believe you quit the

police force.

Well, it was boring riding

around in that police car all by

myself.

Every call I got was for

domestic dispute.

Mm.

And I got tired of telling

those women, "Girl,

are you crazy?

Leave his ass."

At least you told them.

Please.

None of those heifers ever

listened to me.

Oh, God.

People are stupid.

And I never got to shoot

anybody.

Wow.

Pissed.

Mm.

But, for real, working at the

warehouse is so much better.

And the women actually listen

when you tell them to kick their

pathetic ass man to the curb.

Not that you're pathetic, Trey.

No, no.

I heard you.

Thanks, though.

Well, you better not be,

or I will cut you.

Hey, if I need it, do it.

So, I heard you been letting

him ride around

in your squad car.

Who told you that?

Is it serious?

I guess so!

I want it to be.

Does he treat you good?

So good.

Here you go.

Mm, Trey, would you eat worms

for her?

Babe, I would never make you

eat worms.

I would, though, if -- if she

asked me to.

Okay.

Okay.

Dee, would you help Trey move

a body?

Gloria!

Okay, if it was, like,

wrapped in a carpet or

something.

Gloria, seriously?

Questions have to be asked.

You know what?

Hell, yes!

I'd do that for you.

Would you do that for me?

Of course I would.

You know that.

I'd do anything for you.

Ooh.

Yeah, you got it bad.

Alright.

To anything.

To anything.

I hope they'll give me more

hours.

Can't stay away, even on your

night off, huh?

Can't turn down free food.

This is my nephew -- Trey.

Trey, Eddie.

Yo.

Grab us a table.

I got to talk to them.

Okay.

Diego?

Can you make us a plate?

I need to pick up more hours.

Can I work Friday night?

Eddie's working Friday.

How is Eddie getting so many

hours?

He's good, quiet, doesn't eat

so much food.

Please.

As many hours as you can give

me, I will take them.

You'll get what you get.

We're leaving.

Let's go.

We didn't even eat yet.

We'll go somewhere else.

Come on.

Stupid people.

Why does he get so many hours?

'Cause he's white?

'Cause he's a man?

Because he eats there.

I've seen him eat there.

There's a lot of cash

in that place.

What?

I'm just sayin'.

There's a whole lot of green up

in there.

And it's for the taking.

No.

No?

They don't deserve that.

Oh, they don't?

Let it go.

Alright. Fine.

Okay.

Nothin'.

But tell me, though,

how does your gut feel about

rippin' off people who deserve

to get jacked.

What people?

You know, people.

Bad people.

As a matter of fact, uh...

when's your next night shift?

Who is this guy again?

He's a -- He's just some

small-timer.

He doesn't know you or

anything, right?

No.

I'm pretty sure. No.

Pretty sure?

He's not gonna see me,

alright?

Trey, yeah, I don't know

about this.

Look, you're just a cop being

a cop.

So if you pull him over, you're

just doing your job.

Let things happen as they

happen.

Hey.

There he is.

Let's go.

Alright, don't let him get too

far ahead.

Relax.

Pull him over.

I need a reason.

Seriously.

I need to at least make it

look like a traffic stop.

Here it is.

Okay, so I just need you to

pretend like you're my partner.

Pretend like you have a gun,

that you're covering for me.

Pretend I got a gun?

Use this.

Dee, this don't even look

like a gun.

Make it work.

Alright.

We're really doing this, huh?

You happy?

I am.

How your gut feeling?

My gut say, like, "Do this."

Is there a problem, officer?

Driver's license, please.

Malik Woodson...

you still have to signal when

you made a right back there?

I was in the turning lane.

You still have to signal.

You been drinking?

I might have had a little

drink an hour ago.

Step out the car.

If you could just give me the

ticket for not signaling.

Step out of the car now.

Hey, hey, hey.

I'm cooperating.

You got any weapons on you.

No.

So I can search your car?

Trunk included.

Not without a warrant.

We can get one of those.

Might make things a little bit

more complicated, though.

Well, I'm just trying to make

things as easy as possible.

I'm listening.

Got a paper bag in my car.

Something I found.

I was gonna turn it in to the

police station.

Maybe you could do that for me.

Slowly.

Super slow.

We good?

Drive safe.

What?

Wait.

What?

We're rollin' now.

That's what I'm talking about.

I'm not really sure when I

first crossed the line --

when I faked my psychological

evaluation, when I got involved

with a criminal, when I let him

ride with me?

All I knew was I didn't really

know where the line was anymore.

And I was caring less and less.

Maybe I should let him in.

He might eat the money.

We can make noise.

The problem with money is the

more that you get, the more you

seem to need.

But at work, I was covering up

better and better.

There have been reports that

you've been seen driving around

with a young man.

Young man?

Oh, the students.

Mostly girls, though.

Um, they've been having this

classroom assignment, so I've

been taking them out one by one.

Super intelligent.

I think a few of them plan on

joining the force after school.

I consider that community

outreach.

If you're gonna do that,

clear it with the outreach

director, alright?

Got it.

Absolutely.

Otherwise, good job.

Thanks, Captain.

Have a good day.

You, too.

Ready for another one?

So this how we gonna do this.

You lie here quiet for 10

minutes.

When you don't hear me above you

breathing, you can leave,

a'ight?

A'ight?!

Okay.

You ever think about what you

want to do with your life?

No.

What's wrong with this?

Seriously.

Like, what do you see yourself

doing in 10 years?

10 years?

Dee, I don't even know what I'm

gonna be doing

in the next 10 days.

I just want to be with you.

Why can't that be

the plan for now?

There he is.

Wait. He's with someone.

That don't change nothing.

It makes it riskier.

Look, nobody is gonna mess

with a cop, alright?

Just do it like last time.

Full blown.

People always

forgetting the signal.

Is there a problem, officer?

Yeah, you didn't signal

back there.

That's bull.

Step out the car.

Don't do it.

Hey, I got it.

Chill out, alright?

You stay inside unless you

want to lie on the street in

your nice clothes.

Hey!

My, my, my.

Look, why don't you keep that

cash, officer, for your time?

Don't let her take

your money!

Hey, chill, I got this!

Hey, chill out!

Hey, hey!

He's gettin' out the car!

Stay in the car!

Are you hit?

N-No.

No.

Will! Put down the gun!

It's not me shootin'.

It's that crazy cop.

Hey, hey, it's cool.

He's laying down.

Let's go.

Get the money.

Stay.

Stay.

Hey.

Did you see how fast they hit

the ground?

Get in the car!

Damn!

What are you doing

with a gun?!

I can't cover you with a

nightstick, Dee.

That's crazy.

How did you even get a gun?

Like, it's hard to get a gun.

Hey!

Yo, stop.

Why are you so mad?

'Cause you could have killed

somebody.

I shot in the air.

Did he even have a gun?

He wasn't supposed to get out

the car.

Trey!

I was just trying

to scare him.

Yeah, and you scared me.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry!

If you do something like get

a gun, you need to run it

by me first, especially when

you're riding in my patrol car.

So, can I bring it

in the future?

No.

Alright.

Fine.

I'll leave it at home.

Do you forgive me?

Huh?

Do you forgive me?

Come here.

Of course I forgave him.

I bet that he's still laying

on the ground right now.

Trey.

Don't worry.

They're not gonna say nothing

to nobody.

Trust me.

Something changed that night.

He still rode with me sometimes,

but, more and more, he had

something else to do.

I knew he was working the

corners again.

He suddenly had more money --

money he wasn't getting from me.

But he spent a lot of it on me.

And we had a lot of good times.

So I just looked the other way.

Get down.

I started pulling robberies

without Trey.

I liked the rush.

Ooh, there we go.

But I missed him.

It's funny.

Before I had someone, I never

felt as lonely as I do now,

when he's not around.

Haven't seen you in a while.

Just checking on Erica,

making sure she's still doing

okay.

I thought you knew.

She stopped coming after

a few weeks.

I don't know

what happened to her.

I went by the shelter.

I hadn't seen Erica in months.

I looked for her, but she was

just gone.

One night while I was working,

Trey went to a party at a house

who was a friend of a friend

of his.

I swung by to pick him up.

He told me to pick him up four

blocks away.

He didn't want anyone seeing him

get into my patrol car.

But when I got to the corner,

it was empty.

So I drove on toward the party.

What?

What was you saying

back there?

Yo, yo, yo. Yo, yo. Yo

Let's go.

Oh, hell, no.

Step out of the car.

You want to tell me what

happened?

Oh, so you were fighting...

Hey!

Stay in the car!

Hands up!

Hands up! Hands up!

Back away from the gun!

The gun is his.

It just went off.

That ain't my gun.

Arrest him.

Attempted murder

and armed robbery.

What?!

Him, too.

Not him.

He's a victim.

I'll take your statement.

Turn around.

At that point, I really

thought I can do anything.

I thought I was invincible.

I was wrong.

Later that night, I was called

to the scene of a found dead

body.

That in itself was pretty

routine, but this one hit a

little different.

I couldn't save everyone.

And I knew I let her down.

It wasn't your fault.

I didn't follow up.

She slipped...

and I wasn't there to catch her.

That's not your job.

What?

You are a cop.

You're not Wonder Woman.

Still...

Look, if you're trying to

save addicts, there's plenty of

addicts still out there.

Tell me that you aren't

dealing.

Baby...

Tell me.

Look, I'd quit in a hot second

if we were bringing money in

from somewhere else.

No!

What do you mean, no?

No.

You're supposed to be on the

door.

I'm keeping an eye out, okay?

There's nothing happening.

This is why you don't get

shifts.

I do my job.

There hasn't been any issues

since I've been on duty.

You're supposed to stand up

near the door, watch the

restaurant, watch the parking

lot, make the customers feel

safe.

The customers do feel safe.

Do your job.

I need more shifts.

Do your job.

And no more free food for your

nephew, if he even is your

nephew.

Go.

They don't respect me.

They never respect me.

Clear a lot of money if we

hit them on a Saturday night.

Taking my shifts and giving

them to him.

He's not even all that.

And they were talking about

getting some work done there

this weekend, right?

I bet you they'll hold some cash

back for that.

They owe me.

Yeah, I'm gonna need another

gun, too.

Place where the cops...

Wait.

What are we talking about?

I'm talking about robbing the

restaurant.

Trey --

Hey, I can do this with or

without you.

I don't know about that.

Babe, it'll be a lot easier

with you.

Safer.

Come on.

What's your gut say?

My gut?

Say yes.

Getting a gun was easy.

The police station is full of

guns.

Fill out a form, fake a

signature.

Pretend you're just running an

errand for someone else, and

you're good to go.

Did I buy the bullets for the

gun at Walmart under my own

name?

Yeah.

I did that.

That might not have been too

smart.

But I felt invincible...

and angry.

Okay.

We're closed.

Come back soon.

Did we think it through?

Did we have a plan?

Nah.

Not really.

We just got caught up in the

rush of it all.

We're closed.

You need to leave.

Maria, can we talk?

It's late.

I'm very busy.

Just give me a second.

Hey.

I just wanted to apologize

for the other night.

It's just that things are tight

right now, and I could really

use as many shifts as possible.

We'll see how it goes.

Come back on Friday.

Bye, Dee.

Good night.

Have a nice night.

Thanks.

As soon as the kitchen staff

clears, we're in.

What's taking them so long?

Relax.

Do you ever think about going

back to school?

Come on, Dee.

You know who makes bank?

Electricians.

Like wires and stuff?

You can learn that?

Don't you got to be smart?

Baby, you are smart.

You know, I had an uncle.

He was a plumber.

He had a nice-ass house.

See?

Maybe he can put you on.

Mm, I don't know about that.

He's dead.

He was old, though.

Plus, I ain't trying to deal

with nobody's toilet.

But wires...

I can deal with a wire.

You nervous?

A little bit.

But someone once told me that

being nervous means

you're alive.

It's a good thing.

Hey, don't worry about it.

If anything goes wrong, know

that I'm a police officer.

I'll make sure everything turns

out right.

Alright.

Here they go.

Yeah.

Just remember...

wait until I go in.

We're closed.

You -- You have a key?

Dee.

Dee.

Dee!

Don't move.

Where's the money?

I don't know. Who are you?

Don't get scared now.

Where's the money?!

Y'all hear me?

Where's the money?!

Oh, my God, what are...

Where's the money?!

Get on the ground.

Get on the ground!

What, y'all think, I won't run

and set it off on ya?

Tell me where it is!

Y'all got five seconds.

Two...

Four...

Trey.

You good?

Yeah, yeah.

Did you get the money?

They hid it.

Damn it.

Where'd Alicia go?

Just take the money.

It's in the tin over there.

Watch out.

Jackpot.

Just go.

We won't say anything.

You're a cop.

Who's going to believe us?

Please.

Hand me your gun.

Why?

We need to make it look like

it was a single shooter.

No, please, we won't

tell anyone!

Alright, we got to

get out of here.

Come on, come on, let's go.

Let's go.

Now, dig it.

That's over $5,000 right here.

Alicia saw me.

But no one saw me shoot the

cop.

Yeah, but I pointed a gun at

her.

Look, alright, just -- just

say you were going to leave and

you saw men breaking in -- you

were about to stop them, right,

and the rest of it was just

confusion.

Just confusion.

Alright?

I don't know. Maybe.

No one saw you shoot the

people in the back room.

That was whoever shot that cop.

A'ight, a'ight, okay.

Fine.

Look.

It's okay.

Whew.

A'ight, good work.

Where you going?

You got to stay at your

brother's tonight.

Look, you can keep -- you can

keep the cash, a'ight?

Just keep it, but just don't

let him see it.

Look, we got to lay low until

all of this blows over.

Alright.

So no phone.

We chased them.

Mm-hmm.

You drove out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

In their car, alright?

Right, and it was a black

pickup truck.

The license plates was smeared

with mud.

Right.

And they got away.

Yeah.

They got away.

They got away. They did.

Alright.

Just stay here.

Don't say a word to anybody.

You gonna go back?

I have to.

It goes with the story.

Alright, well,

just be careful.

Alright?

It's gonna be okay.

I'll see you soon.

You got this.

You got this.

They'll believe anything

you say.

Why wouldn't they?

You're in charge.

You're in charge.

You're in charge.

It was her!

She did it!

Her and Trey!

Whoa.

There were two men walking in

as we were leaving out.

They got Eddie, and I chased

them.

S-She's lying!

It was her. I saw her.

I was hiding in the back room.

Cuff her.

I'm a cop. I'm a cop!

I'm a -- It wasn't me!

I'm a cop.

Come on, we'll straighten it

all out down at the station.

I'm gonna be right back,

okay?

I'm gonna be right back.

I just got to keep up. Guys!

I stuck to my story, even

when they didn't believe me.

I didn't give up Trey at all.

Says she took the gun from

your friend Trey.

You killed Maria and

Diego Lopez.

Trey wasn't even there.

Hmm.

It's not what she says.

Well, she's confused about

what happened.

Hmm.

They weren't buying

any of it...

Okay.

...especially when Trey came

in with his side of the story...

It was all her idea.

...though I didn't learn that

until later.

And that was the last time

I saw him.

We were tried separately.

In his trial, the biggest piece

of evidence against Trey was

one of Eddie's credit cards.

Yeah.

After shooting Eddie, Trey took

his wallet and used Eddie's

Mastercard later that night

at a convenience store.

They caught it on camera.

He got the death penalty.

I was tried four months later.

They had all kinds of evidence

against me.

The two guys from the street

fight even testified.

My lawyer subpoenaed a bunch of

witnesses to testify on my

behalf, but then they didn't

even call any of them.

What was the point?

I was guilty.

It took the jury 10 minutes to

return a guilty verdict

on all counts.

10 minutes.

The jury recommended the

death penalty, which I got.

But it doesn't mean they

actually kill me.

I'm still on death row.

Wait. There's more.

One month after I was sentenced,

they dug in the backyard of my

house and found bones.

No, not dog bones.

Human bones.

Wasn't my father?

I'm not saying.

But if it was, he deserved it.

The detective who worked my case

later told people that I was the

most cold-hearted person he had

ever encountered in 30 years

as an officer.

He called me cold-hearted.

He don't understand me at all.

Everything I did was

out of love.

I would have done anything to

keep him covered.

I thought I found my love story.

But I guess I was wrong.

Should have just kept with

my dog.
