Original subtitles

You came highly recommended.

The judge who exonerated Odell Morgan.

She was impressed by your tenacity.

She actually said you're more like a dog with a bone.

And she knows that we're dying for volunteers here.

Is that what got you interested in the restorative justice program?

The Morgan case?

Yeah.

The judge also mentioned you were quiet.

So today, your job is to foster dialogue and remediation so that both the victim

and the offender have a chance to heal.

Is that good?

Yeah.

Malik, hey, this is Officer Torres. Officer Torres, Malik and his parents,

and Carla. How you doing, man?

Go ahead, shake the man's hand.

You can call me Dante. I'm off duty now.

Malik has now taken full responsibility for his actions and now has the

techniques to de -escalate, correct?

Before an argument turns into real world violence?

Real world?

It all started on their phones, social media beef.

Cam started it.

But you ended it, right?

Online, these kids say whatever they want with no consequences. So Malik got

his head that he was a big man.

He threw a Molotov cocktail at Cam's fence.

And now we're here.

So we've come up with a plan.

Dante, you'll accompany Malik to Cam's parents' house and repair the damage.

Complete the circle.

Okay. All right, get your ass up.

Thank you, Dante.

Yeah. Hey, don't let my son forget that back in the day, this kind of thing

would have ended up one of three ways.

Jail time, a beatdown, or both.

Dad, he's old school, huh?

You don't believe in restorative justice?

A car or a girl?

What?

The online beef.

You some kind of Jesus freak?

Not Jesus.

You look like it to me.

St. Jude, patron theta, lost causes.

Just the kind of thing a Jesus freak would say.

It was all lies.

Again, what you're telling online.

I mean, it was about a girl, but it was all lies.

Said I got no game.

Was it worth it?

Around here, you can't let that disrespect slide.

People are going to treat you like a bitch for the rest of your life.

So, yeah.

Okay.

We're glad you've chosen to make it right, Malik.

I know it's uncomfortable.

We think restorative justice is a great idea.

Getting these boys to realize the impact of their actions, getting law

enforcement mixed in with community, makes everyone safer.

So, uh, you got something to say?

Yeah, uh, sorry I, you know, burned your fence.

You know, everything.

All right, we'll get to work.

Let me know if you need anything. Thank you.

This looks awful.

What?

I mean, look at their fence.

Some crusty -ass pickets.

Our part looks too legit.

We gotta fix the whole thing.

Relax, Jesus freak. I'm not going to church or anything. I'm just saying.

If we do it, we should do it right.

Okay.

I'll get some more paint. Alright.

Offender fled in a blue four -door Nissan. I couldn't make out the plates,

he was going eastbound on 106th Street. Officer?

I need cars right now. Hey, don't step on the sidewalk.

Here.

Oh, my God. Step back. Don't step on the sidewalk.

Is anyone inside hurt? Oh, my God. Ma 'am, listen to me. They fired multiple

shots. Is anyone inside hurt? No, sir. No, we're fine. We're sure.

Police! Chicago Police!

Lefty hands!

Hey, CPD!

I'm intelligent.

This fax told you there was going to be a play in clothes.

My badge is around my neck.

I'm taking it out.

Flo?

I need a perimeter.

All right? They're not involved.

Here. Hold pressure on this, yeah? Copy. Don't let anyone step on the sidewalk.

Keep the pressure on.

There.

I know. Just keep the pressure until the EMTs are out. You don't call it. You

understand? All right.

Shut down the block.

Copy. Patrol 516.

Get back inside. They're going to have to interview you as witnesses.

Copy.

No, Patrol Unit 516 is holding down the scene. I'm mobile canvassing for the

want of Nissan.

I need a perimeter set two miles out. Where are my cars?

Pet 4, 5021 Ocean. Cars are en route. Three minutes out.

Hey, move!

Come on!

5021 Ocean, I got eyes on a wanted Nissan.

It's crashed just off 111th and Exchange.

Unknown, it's still occupied. I'm approaching now.

Copy, 5021 Ocean.

Police! Step out of the vehicle right now!

Step out of the vehicle or I will shoot you!

50 -21, Ocean. Any 50 -21 units available?

50 -21, Ida. Ocean, go with you. Traffic.

Yeah, I got blood. Taurus, cut a C.

Yeah, we just heard.

Offender appears to be on foot on 111th and Exchange.

I don't have eyes. I need a perimeter, a search team, and I need cars right now.

All right, 10 -4. We're en route from the district. You got plates?

Nah. Plates have been stripped.

But, uh, I got the VIN. Let me text you a picture.

Copy. We'll run it up.

Ma 'am.

Police. Hey, did you see anyone come through here?

Did you see anyone come through? We didn't see anything.

Hey. Hey, police.

Hey. Hey, sir.

Did you see anyone come through here? Anyone injured?

52 -1 Ocean, I'm following a blood trail into the Oakley homes.

It's good practice. You're gonna love this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yo, listen, I'm not here for narcotics.

A kid was just killed and I'm looking for the shooter.

Did you see anyone? Anyone run up here bleeding?

Listen, I got half a district waiting for my signal.

So either you step up or they're coming in.

And they are gonna care about that.

Stop running!

5221 Ocean, offender fleeing westbound on foot, away from the Oakley Homes

housing project.

Suspect is male, black, six foot, wearing a green jacket. Identified as

Webb.

Ocean. Yeah? I ain't got nothing yet. It's all clear past 120th when we got

perimeter shut down.

Yeah, no sign of him, man.

You sure you got a positive ID?

It was him. It was Cam Webb. I saw him two hours ago. He's the reason Malik was

even here. Malik was trying to make things right, apologize, and then we got

shot at.

I ran the vent on that vehicle.

Came back to Cam.

You checked the house?

Our parents aren't cooperative.

We got one shot to the head, several other rounds hit sporadically, all .380.

Witnesses? No, none that are talking, just you.

Yeah, I...

I didn't see anything.

My head was in the trunk getting some pain. And then... Happened in two

I want to see her. Show me my son.

I want to see my boy. I want to see my boy.

Troy. Troy.

Hey, Troy. Troy.

You remember me? It's Dante.

Is that Malik?

Is that my boy?

Is it? Yes.

Is he dead?

Is he dead?

Yes.

Sorry.

Your boy did this. Your boy. No. My son didn't do this. Your boy, where is he?

I'm going to kill him. He shot my kid. Where is he? This wasn't my son. Now,

where your boy at? Huh?

Where is he? Malik was here. What did your boy do? Huh? What did he do?

What did your boy do?

Adam, get those people back inside the house right now. I'm telling you, this

wasn't my son.

Yeah, he did. He shot my kid. Hey, sir, you're the father? Hey, hey, you're the

father? Yes, sir. You're the father.

Okay. They killed my boy. Okay, you can see your son.

If you stop yelling, you hear me? Hey, look at me, sir.

If you stop yelling, you can sit with your son right now.

Okay?

You just can't touch him, you understand?

You sit with him as long as you need.

Are you ready?

Okay. Come on, let's go.

Grab Burgess, go talk to the family.

I got you. Come on.

You are trying to do your job, but this wasn't our son. Okay. Okay, then help us

eliminate him as a suspect.

Where is he? We told you he's out. That is not an answer. You know that that's

not an answer. Cam didn't do this.

He would never do this. What time did he leave?

Does he own a weapon?

Do you?

I saw Cam injured, fleeing.

I saw the blue Nissan.

Do you understand that? What you saw was a black man in the wild hundreds

running from police. That could have been anybody. Green coat with a hood.

that sound familiar?

I saw him here when Malik was trying to make things right. You remember that?

That was social media. That was just online talk. Stop talking.

Okay, we can come back with a warrant. Then do that. Okay.

Okay.

What happened to owning up to your actions? Don't act like Malik was an

Enough. We're done talking.

My family has nothing else to say without a lawyer present.

Nothing. No sign of Cam.

Depressed. Parents won't talk.

I mean, they're protecting their kid. They don't want to offer up a timeline.

Bolo? No hits.

Cam's cell phone's off. TTA card's unused.

Kansas asset forfeiture putting out a financial alert now. What? We run pods

the area?

CPD stopped replacing pods on that stretch after gangs destroyed them about

dozen times.

Neighborhood's owned by the gangster profits.

Runs deep.

You know if Cam's affiliated?

He's indexed. The only charges on his sheet are driving without a license,

possession of paraphernalia. I mean, his school records are solid. Just got a

partial scholarship to UIC. He's a smart kid.

Wow. All right, so what was the beef about that got him involved in

justice? A girl.

Yeah, details are vague.

CPIC's still running it, but it sounds like Malik hit on the wrong girl.

Cam wrote to Malik, no place to hide. Malik the creep, bang, bang. And then

karma coming, bitch.

KYS for real. I'm sorry, what? What is KYS?

Kill yourself.

Yeah. Yo, Cam's credit card popped to the corner store inside the perimeter.

cashier said he was banged up, bought bandages, left in a hurry. These kids

to be hiding somewhere local.

No one in this neighborhood is going to talk.

No. Not unless we make them.

All right, so let's clear their sights. We'll force it out of them.

What?

Me?

50 -21, all units in position.

Roll time.

Here we go. Over there. Yeah.

Now turn around. I got you. I got you.

Got anything on you?

Huh? Got anything I need? Ooh, ain't doing nothing.

Man, I saw you throwing up gang times. That's the only time. Look, boy. Are you

serious? I was scratching my face. Ooh, wait. All right, get him to the wagon.

What's that?

VIP in the wagon. Here we go. Take him in. Grab him later.

Man, whatever, dog.

We got one wagon for you, boy.

mind the OT.

The Tiki wants to know if I'll be home for dinner.

What are we doing, man?

Let me see.

Where are they taking this? Indiana?

I mean, one more lap, Mikey.

I heard that one before.

Come on, catch up in here.

Man, chill out. This is behind the words down so we talk.

We keep your mouth shut.

You know them police be having no sales bug to me, bro. They just looking for

that boy.

I'm a B -cam man for this, dog.

I seen him run up to Shorty's spot an hour ago.

Face all bloody and... What you talking about? He ain't back with Shorty.

Sorry to the spot.

Little sorry I said.

He ain't back with her. Shut the hell up.

You can't sit in silence for 20 more minutes.

Shut up. Did you hear that?

I need Shorty.

CPD has 53 women documented with the nickname Shorty. 11 of them link with

gangster profits. I'm still working camp socials. I don't think this kid went an

hour without posting something.

Damn it, every girl he posts about, he calls Shorty. Right here, I got one from

July.

Shorty at Reggie's Beef hooked it up with the extra glizzy. Yeah, I followed

on that one. The only girl working at Reggie's at the time didn't know him. Do

want to know what glizzy is?

Hold on.

There's an Instagram story from six months ago.

Cam posted the link to a baby registry. Link's still up.

There's an address for a Catherine Short, 1899 Framingham Avenue.

Catherine Short.

That's the neighborhood.

Okay, well, according to Social Security, Catherine Short gave birth

months ago. No father on the birth certificate.

She's got no sheep.

19 years old. Works as a hairdresser.

Cam's the ender.

He calls her angel.

Who? You locked down all the sets looking for Cam?

I ain't an idiot.

He ain't here.

Okay, so we can come in then.

My baby's got to go down. It's okay. I mean, if he's not here, it's just going

to take two minutes.

So you're saying you're sure he isn't here? I'm sure I haven't had contact

Cam. That ain't a thing you can be unsure about.

You either spoke or you didn't.

He ain't hiding in my fridge magnet.

You didn't stop by today?

No. Are you aware of the beef you had with Malik Hunter? Don't try and catch

on some motive.

Cam didn't kill anyone.

He wouldn't do that.

He's not a crap person.

He's got a life. He's got people that he cares about.

Like the two of you? Yeah, you dick, the two of us.

So you're the girl that Malik hit on and shouldn't have. You started the whole

thing? Yo, are you done searching yet? I'm done. What the hell is taking so

long? We're just asking questions. You come into my house, you bother my baby.

Because the boy is dead. He wasn't no boy. And he wasn't killed by Cam.

Get the hell off my property.

She crammed underneath the sink in the bathroom.

Glock 42.

380.

Where is he?

You don't understand.

Kim didn't kill anybody.

Where is he? I don't know, okay? I don't.

My baby needs to sleep. Get out. Get out now.

No,

you're not taking my baby and I'm not going anywhere.

Why am I here?

What did you bring me in for? You didn't come into my house with a warrant. Why

am I here? You harbored a wanted offender. You lied to the police, and

possession of a murder weapon. Cam didn't murder anybody.

I want my child. I understand that, Catherine. Your child is safe. She's

your mother, okay?

And you will see her as soon as you're released. That will happen faster if you

cooperate. You gotta tell us where Cam is. I don't know. He isn't some

She's a wanted offender. Do not say offender again.

Cam didn't murder anybody. I saw him!

Understand? I saw him.

My boobs are killing me.

I'm about to leak all over this table.

Where did Cameron tell you? You want to watch me leak milk? Is that why you

signed up to be police?

That make you feel big?

A 17 -year -old kid was shot down in broad daylight.

He will get justice.

You want justice for that kid?

That little innocent kid?

You're a fool.

Melissa just came back on the Glock and camp jacket.

It's the murder weapon, matches the slugs on steam, and it's a street gun.

It links to four other shootings in the neighborhood.

He used a street gun?

Yes.

A local dirty street gun.

This kid's that much of an idiot? He used a gun we could trace back to him?

This is a strange rookie move.

Kid that grew up in the game, you would think he'd be able to get his hands on a

clean piece.

He did use his own car.

Oh, okay.

I just got an email from forensics. Cam's jacket came back negative for

residue. Maybe worse to sleep.

No, the report would have indicated that.

Well, we know he was in the car. The comparison's a match.

Dante, you saw him.

They're fleeing.

I saw him fleeing.

When do I get to see my baby?

As soon as I release you.

All right.

Look.

I was with Malik when he got shot.

He was trying to make things right with Cam. At least, that's what he says.

Now, I do want justice for that boy.

For his whole family.

But if Cam didn't kill him, I'd want to help him too.

When somebody fires a gun, it leaves an invisible trace.

It's called GSR.

And we ran Cam's vehicle for it, and we found plenty.

But it was all on the passenger side, okay?

Nowhere else.

So somebody else fired the gun.

Somebody else was in that car.

Yeah, cool speech, buddy. What have I been telling you? I said he didn't shoot

him.

Then who did?

I don't know.

Why do you keep saying that Malik is not a kid, that he's not innocent?

You keep saying that. Why?

Did someone else want him dead?

I just want to see my baby. If Cam didn't kill Malik... I just want to see

baby. Yeah, but if Cam is the infant... Stop saying that!

You know he is.

He didn't kill anybody.

He didn't.

He calls her Bud -Bud.

pictures on your fridge.

He drew them for his daughter.

But, but...

Look.

Maybe I had it all wrong.

Tell me where he is and I can bring him back to you.

And her.

Catherine.

Where is he?

He'll hate me. He doesn't have to know the info came from you. And I'll protect

him best I can.

Let me try and help him.

He's hiding at a friend's house.

Marcus Everett. Lives in the Wild Hundreds.

Everett's got a sheet.

Looks like a hitter for the gangster profits.

Stints for aggravated battery with a firearm and drug to throw.

Charges dropped in a homicide. Witness recanted.

And he's a suspect in two other shootings.

This could be a shooter.

Yeah, it's possible.

Everett lives alone in a two -flat, 10439 102nd Street.

Let's hit it.

Can you hold up?

Back door's already been breached.

What? How?

I don't know. It's busted open.

I go towards.

When they try to get me out from the beginning.

But I kept on going, they kept winning.

Shot, they be sending.

Might have to write a couple in as well.

Don't we all got opinions? Yeah, I'm back in the building.

I be on my knees praying to God.

Serge, I'm opening the door now.

Troy.

He took my son away.

Let him go.

Listen to me. He took my son away. You don't want to do this. You don't want to

do this.

Listen to me.

I don't think he did, Troy. Listen to me. I don't think he did. Don't mess

me. I'm not messing with you. Listen to me. Listen to me. Drop it right now. He

was going to run.

He was going to slip away. Troy. Hey!

You all right?

I did it.

I shot him.

I shot him.

I told you. I told you.

I told you I killed him.

Look at this.

Look at this.

I killed him. Look at this.

I don't need to be down here. You can book me.

There's no cameras down here.

That's why you're here, because you keep falsely confessing.

I'm not falsely confessing.

I killed Malik.

I shot him.

All right? I confess.

We could take you back to med.

I don't need it. Just book me. We're not booking you.

We know there was another person in your car.

Was it Everett? No.

I killed him.

I shot Malik.

I confess, okay?

All right.

Tell us how it happened.

What? How you shot him.

I took a few shots.

Through the window.

You tested your jacket for gunshot residue.

Came back clean.

I fell.

You fell?

Slipped in a puddle. Must have just washed it off.

I don't know.

Where'd you get the gun?

Crackhead.

Down on 42nd.

We traced the gun back to the gangster profits.

It was a local street gun, not 42nd.

Catherine Short says you didn't kill him.

She's hormonal.

She'll say anything.

I killed him.

I shot Malik. Cam. I confess.

I killed him.

I shot Malik. I confess.

I killed him.

I shot Malik. I confess.

I killed him.

I shot Malik.

I confess.

He's just repeating his confession.

It's like he wants this to be over.

He could be scared of someone.

I could be protecting someone.

I had anything from Troy. No.

He heard about where Cam was hiding the same way we did, street contact.

He hadn't heard any more information.

Shorty? No, she won't say anything else. She finally lawyered up, and she's got

a good alibi. Yeah, Marcus got an alibi, too. I ran it. It's bulletproof.

We got him on footage at a bar halfway across town during the time of the

shooting. He wasn't in Cam's car.

So we're missing something.

It's simple. We go back to the why. Why the hell was Malik shot down? The why

will always get us to who.

All right, so we split it up.

Go down every path again. Let's go.

There's 48 posts between Kim and Malik, but not a single post between Malik and

Shorty.

She's not the girl he hit on.

Why'd you go to that program, restorative justice?

What was that?

Well, that doesn't sound like a real answer.

It's a nice idea that people can be... ...restored.

Wait. Come here.

I think that's Ayana.

Kim's sister? Yeah.

She's using a dummy name.

She was following my leak on social media and they posted back and forth.

Until the day before it kind of started talking trash.

What the hell happened that day?

Fresh ice.

Have you been booking me yet?

No.

Why? I don't know how many more times I can confess.

About three months ago, Malik and Ayana began interacting on Instagram.

And eventually, they met up in person.

The day after they met up, Ayana went to a medical clinic.

And she got treated for injuries consistent with sexual assault.

The medical clinic was obligated to report the injuries, but they didn't.

So I spoke to the doctor that treated her.

And she said that Ayana insisted.

She said she got in a fight with a friend, and she begged him not to tell.

The next night, you posted a story threatening Malik.

Yeah, that's right.

I did.

I threatened him.

And I was the one that shot him.

So don't bring my sister into this. He traced the gun that was used to kill

Malik. The last gangster prophet had sold it. He confirmed he sold it to

Cam, we found gloves and a jacket in our locker. It tested positive for gunshot

residue.

We have evidence.

Thank you.

She told me what happened and I didn't know what to do.

I went online.

I threatened Malik.

I should have done more.

He kept saying things back. I should have known she would... I get it.

Then please, please, let me take the time.

I can't do that. Yes, you can.

Have the evidence disappear, right? Say it was me. She bought the gun from me.

Look, I can do the time. She can't. She's strong like that.

A jury will go easy on her and she won't be tried as an adult. She'll be just as

bad. Let me do the time.

She's the victim here. Do you get that?

She took a life. He took from her.

I know.

I know.

Help me.

We can end this the right way.

Just let me say my little baby sister, please.

I will help Ayana as much as I can.

I promise you that.

But that's the best that I can do.

I'm sorry.

More police?

This can't be legal. You can't just sit here and not tell us anything.

It's lawful detainment, sir. Now, you can't just hold us here.

My daughter needs to go to school. We have work. We have rights, man. Please

tell us you're here to stop this nonsense and let this child go to

Diana, I'm Officer Torres.

I'm here to arrest you for the murder of Malik Hunter.

I need you to stand up and place your hands behind your back.

What? Gerald? What's going on?

Stop. Mr. Rodney?

Diana? No, we need our lawyer. Daddy? The lawyer's on his way.

Right now, I need you to stand up and place your hands behind your back.

Yana, look at me.

We're going to do this one thing at a time, okay?

Can you do that for me?

Stand up.

Now, just give me your hand.

Hold them up for me.

Okay, now, can you turn to the other side, please?

Ayana, could you turn to the other side, please?

Now face the front.

Hey, it's okay.

Ayana, would you look up for me, please?

All right.

We can wait here until they arrive.

Have a seat.

Are your hands hurting you?

Here.

What's going to happen to me?

When you get inside, you keep your head down.

Okay? You try not to draw eyes on you.

You understand what I mean?

You listen to the correction officers who are nice, and you stay far away from

the rest.

You don't fight.

Ever.

And if you have a problem, you contact your lawyer.

Or you contact me.

You got that?
