Hello, I'm Chief Williams, and I'm here to help the city of Wilmington, North

Carolina with an initiative we're calling Destroy 19.

And what this is, is that we are taking our own responsibility for stopping the

COVID virus in our community.

In order to do that, we're going to have to take some extreme measures.

You will not be able to leave your home for any reason while this is going on.

Emergency crews are standing by to help you with anything you could possibly

need during this time.

Also, we don't know how long this is going to last.

So the county has informed me that utilities will run free of charge until

is over.

And one last thing.

I implore you, do not ingest or inject over -the -counter disinfectant into

bodies.

And if you snitch, I'll kill you.

It's going to be okay.

We got this.

How are we supposed to live like this?

We already got rid of the thing.

Well, none of this is over until it is gone and forgotten about.

I can take care of that.

You better.

This is all your fault.

It may be all my fault, but you're reaping all the benefit.

DeAndre.

DeAndre. My name is DeAndre.

DeAndre. Grow some balls.

Maybe you should grow a heart.

That's why I like you. You crazy just like me.

Oh, man.

I'm hungry.

You want something?

No, I don't.

You don't want anything to eat?

No.

Dr. James?

It's me, Adrian.

I have a situation that you helped me.

I really can't explain it over the phone.

getting cold.

Well, how do you expect me to help you?

Look, I don't know, but I'm in serious trouble.

I can't help you.

Members of the church want signed help.

Idiot. It's life or death.

Why? Is this Jeremy? Boy, you can't fool me. I know that voice anyway. Yeah,

yeah, yeah, it's me, Jeremy.

Can you help me?

Do I have to eat your food if you took any longer?

How did I get here?

Love.

Love.

L -O -V -E, love me.

L -O -V -E, love me.

Not right now, eh? What? It's always now.

Like, what's wrong with you?

I need to be calling my pastor.

Say that again now.

So funny. I need to call my pastor. He's my friend.

Wait a

minute.

So, you go to church and he's your friend.

Nobody calls you through this whole time.

Now, I'm just trying to figure out something.

There's your people in the church, right?

But the only person I've seen here was me.

So who did God send?

Me or them?

Rashida, stop playing, all right?

Me or them?

Stop. Who did he send, me or them?

You, all right? You.

Oh.

Look, we can't go nowhere, right? What do you mean I can't go nowhere?

We're on a statewide lockdown due to Corona.

I don't care about that.

Have you not been paying attention?

We weren't on phase one. We're on phase two now. It's going to be three, four.

They're not playing around with this.

Wow.

If that's the case, then what are we going to do with it?

You almost shot.

Yeah, I'm out here patrolling.

Making sure that everybody's adhering to this quarantine order.

They act like we didn't even have a quarantine order in effect.

Making sure they're wearing masks like they're supposed to.

Yeah, I hear you. I hear you.

But we're not just going to rush in there and arrest them until we get

evidence.

It's too risky.

Look,

we've been after this family for a long, long time.

Marcus is in there right now in the house with Rashida to get the evidence

we need.

Look, when Marcus gets the evidence, we can send Rashida. Why am I even telling

you this? I'm the police chief.

You do what I say. You follow my rules or you find yourself a new job.

I need to find a new job.

Look at this one.

Honey, help me.

Help me, please.

Help me.

He shot me. Who shot you? He shot me, Rashida.

I need help. Sit down.

You know, as long as it is in the room, we're going to have a problem.

And the longer it's in the room,

it's going to be a bigger problem.

Let's just go ahead and chop it up.

Hold on now. Wait a second.

What?

You don't got your feelings?

over. No, we can't do it like that.

Why?

Because that's cruel.

See, she done made you soft.

And you never even knew the truth.

Know what truth?

You know what I mean, DeAndre.

My name is DeDre.

You don't even know who you are.

Move out of my way.

Listen, we're in a quarantine lockdown, aight? We can't leave this house without

eating all the food.

Listen, we're going to have to figure out something tonight.

If we don't, then the whole neighborhood is going to know about it.

So, we're just going to dump it across the street and wait until after it gets

dark tonight.

Listen, we don't really have much of a choice because if we don't handle it

tonight, then we're not going to get another chance. They're going to be

flooding the streets with the military soon.

Okay, so then we just do it tonight.

Like I said.

Remember when we first met?

Yeah. Yeah, I remember.

It was so beautiful.

What? It was beautiful.

Hey, yo, didn't we meet at a McDonald's?

Yeah, but it wasn't like you was one of those guys pulling up on me at the club

with one of those fancy cars.

What's so special about Mickey D's?

It's what you said, how you made me feel.

I remember when you said I was like...

A special gift to the world?

Nobody's ever told me that.

And when you said it, I know that you meant it.

Yeah.

Yeah, you were special.

You are special.

You'll do great things.

And all those guys, they used to try to size me up.

You know, give me gifts.

But that didn't work.

But what you said, that meant a lot.

It really did.

Wow.

Now, where have you been?

Huh?

What?

No, where have you been? You see, now you're acting like the Rashida that I

that night at that restaurant.

This is the Rashida that I know.

I'm going to be honest with you. I walked into that place not expecting to

someone so beautiful that shines so bright that knocked me off my feet.

Where you been?

There's a bunch of planes outside.

You hear that?

There's a bunch of planes.

It was all hard yesterday. Now you're scared of planes?

Look, there's a lot of them.

Are you serious?

Yes. Go, go to the door.

Looks

like

phase one just started.

What? What are we going to do about the rooms?

How did we sleep through all this last night?

You plain freaking lovebirds. You got me all off my game.

Lovebirds?

No, you had us drinking that alcohol last night. That's what had us out.

Man, whatever.

Told you this was real.

Somebody's knocking at the door.

Let's go see.

Shh.

What do you mean, shh? Just be quiet and then they'll leave. Yeah, somebody's

definitely at the door. Let's go see. Shh.

What's wrong with you?

You know we got in the room. Why are we going to let somebody in?

Look, they already know. They already know.

They know what?

They know that we're in here. We got answers.

How about you write this little scary book? Just get a plane, get a door.

If you say the coronavirus, why are we going to let somebody in?

Hold on.

Can I help

you?

Yes, ma 'am. I'm from the local police department.

With the pandemic and everything going on, we're just coming around to check to

make sure you're okay.

Okay. We don't have time for that right now. Thank you.

Whoa. What are you doing?

Can you move your foot?

Excuse me. I don't mean to give you a hard time, but you're already coming to

the door with no mask on.

Hands kind of ashy, so I can tell you ain't got no hand sanitizer.

And I could have sworn I heard a male voice before you opened the door.

What does that have to do with the lockdown?

Well, I'm just curious. I mean, why didn't you come to the door?

Are y 'all hiding something?

No, why do we have to hide something? Just because my husband didn't answer

door, we got to be hiding something?

So you and your husband live here?

Yes. And this is your house? Yes.

May I have your name, please, ma 'am? Can you move your foot, please?

May I have your name, please, ma 'am?

Elizabeth Robertson. So why does my paperwork say DeAndre and Carla James?

Excuse me, ma 'am, but I'm going to have to check the premises.

Can you back up, please? Can you please put on a mask, get some hand sanitizer?

Excuse me, sir.

Let me talk to my wife for a minute, okay?

You don't have a mask, either. Do not let him in.

What are we supposed to do?

We got to do something.

Why did you let him in here?

If we get him, he'll look suspicious.

Forget him going through everything.

Why hang him in the refrigerator?

Just chill out, man.

This is what they do.

Excuse me, officer.

Y 'all got something to drink?

What?

First of all, this ain't even 50. I don't even know what this is.

Number two, I'm just in here doing my job.

Now, I come in here, you ain't got no mask on, no hand sanitizer, and a half a

roll of toilet tissue.

I could have been took you in a long time ago, but I ain't like that.

See, your problem is you're worrying about the wrong thing.

What you need to be worried about is why that man sitting on your leather couch

ain't nothing but his drawers.

Why you taking my water?

I'll tell you what.

Tell him to put some pants on, go to the store, and get you some water.

Oh, I forgot. It's a lockdown.

You can't.

Wasn't that weird?

What? If he was supposed to be coming here to check us for coronavirus, he

didn't check our temperatures. He was, like, looping around the house.

That's just how they do.

Mm -mm.

Like, did you see? He even went by the door where it is.

He kept looking at us like, you think he know somebody?

I don't know. Never mind.

Either way, we have a problem.

What if this lockdown is for weeks?

Maybe we can chop it up.

Into little small pieces.

No.

No, we can't do it like that.

That's the only way we can get it out of here.

Look, I said no.

Okay.

Maybe we can figure out a way to burn it.

Really?

So that's an option right now.

That is my dead wife.

Okay.

Now I see.

It's not how.

It's who.

Don't do that.

But you said you love me. I do love you. No, it's... To me, it feels like you

still love her.

Hey, yo, put me in here.

Calm down.

Calm down. You liar.

I'm not a liar. Listen,

I did not lie to you, all right?

You're the only man that told me that you love me, and I believe you.

I do love you, okay?

Just never stop loving her.

You still love her. Stop playing with my heart, DeAndre.

I guess you didn't even know she didn't love you.

And how you know that?

I know more than you think.

How do you know that?

If you do it, then I'll snitch.

Mark,

I'm going to take whatever is in here and chop your wife up like a...

You said you'd listen to me.

Whoa.

Don't move.

I love you, and we're going to be together forever.

You know, when this is all over with, we're going to have to leave the country

together and live our best lives.

What was that that you gave me?

Something that helped me live my best life.

I thought that you loved me.

I do, but I love me more.

Let me make this a little easier for you.

What you doing?

Waiting for you to wake up.

You were planning to kill me, huh?

If I wanted to kill you, I would have done that already.

Besides, I can't kill my baby daddy.

Your what?

I can't kill my baby daddy.

So, what are you trying to say?

Baby daddy gotta be the dumbest man ever.

You're pregnant?

Yes.

Why you lying for? All that coke and alcohol?

So how do I know it's mine?

What?

Now, one thing I know I never did to you, and that was cheat on you.

Unlike your wife.

What's that supposed to mean?

Oh, God.

You're so gullible.

Everybody knew that. Even I knew that.

That was a perfect opportunity for her.

You know that?

We see found out about me and you.

What? Why you think that she came home early that day?

No, no, you're lying.

My wife loved me.

Oh. My wife, she loved me.

So, is this you?

In this video?

Nah.

You told me we would be together.

It sounded like it was forever.

Your phrases make me feel better about all of us on the weather.

You said I was the only one, but you got me the only one.

I see I'm not the only one who's feeling like the only one.

Some call it stupid.

Some say I'm an addict.

I'm beautiful,

the only one.

And baby, you're the only one who makes me.

All the work we put in to get this quarantine going and people just driving

around like it doesn't even exist.

You look well for losing all that blood.

Guess it didn't hit any vital organs.

How you doing?

I'm old enough.

Good.

Listen, T, I got a question to ask and it's a serious question. I need an

answer. Anything, Chief.

What were you doing in the house while the investigation was going on and

was there?

I was trying to grab something before it happened.

Tia, I need an honest answer.

What was going on?

What was going on?

You have my husband in my house with some skank doing who knows what,

it's a part of the investigation?

Was this a part of your plans, Chief?

Tia, you know everything we do, we do for the A -Team.

The A -Team.

I must not be a part of the A -Team.

You got my husband pretending to be in a relationship with some woman?

Nobody asked me how I felt about it.

She tried to kill me.

What is it?

They're checking houses.

Yeah, but...

They have 2 ,500 troops checking houses.

If you don't let them in, they can force themselves in by law.

Every house will not require a full search.

A full search may be what it takes to get control of the coronavirus.

Search begins now.

So, if they're beginning now, who was that guy that was here earlier searching

the house?

I have no idea.

I just got this feeling that...

Somebody's on to us. How can they be on to us if it was just you and I? We

didn't tell anyone, right?

We didn't tell anyone, right?

Right. Why would I tell on myself?

Yeah.

We gotta go ahead and chop her up. After all of this, you still talking about

chopping her up? What else do you have in mind?

Just give me a few minutes with her.

You got five minutes.

Five minutes. I said your time is up.

It's time.

I cannot do it.

You have no choice.

I can't.

By tomorrow, the body will be stinking.

I can't. You have no choice. Do it or die.

Thank you.

At least she's alive.

What?

What did you say?

Nothing.

Oh, so you think I didn't hear what you said?

Look, I'm glad that she's alive, alright?

There, I said it.

So what?

If she's alive, then that means we go to prison, idiot.

You know, maybe we should just call the cops and turn ourselves in.

Man, I tell you, besides sex, you're useless.

Let's call her phone.

If she answers, at least we know something.

I don't know about that. No.

Okay. We're going to call, but we're going to call from your phone.

Okay. All right.

Wait a minute.

You're a little bit too happy to make that call.

Hey. Don't say anything.

What? Why?

Because we don't even know anything. Like, why would you do that? I don't

even...

There's no way I can get myself locked up. I can't.

I can't do it.

Just be like everybody else in my family.

We should just make a run for it.

Have you not been paying attention to the alerts on your phone?

Fourteen people got shot and killed for running.

If they come back, it's because she told them.

Either way, we screwed.

Yeah.

They come back for another checkup.

We gotta clean that bedroom.

I'm not going back in there.

I can't.

What was that?

The power went out.

Looks like everything except the streetlights.

What do you think? Are they coming?

To get us?

Yeah.

I think that it's over with.

I think they're coming to get us.

Quarantine is not supposed to be like this.

Neither a relationship.

I think that we should call our families.

You really don't know me.

I don't have a family.

Like literally?

I mean, I would adopt it.

And my family's in Maine, but I haven't talked to them in like 15 years.

Well, if you're not going to call anyone, then I'm not going to call

either. No, no, no, no.

If you got family and you want to call them, go ahead and call them.

Don't do it because of me.

I mean, I doubt they'll care anyway.

They pretty much disowned me after I married her.

Wow.

She was trouble at the start, huh?

What you gonna do with that?

I think we should tell our story.

I mean, think about it.

My wife is going to tell her story. The police are going to tell theirs, and so

is the media. So we owe it to ourselves to tell ours, right?

You got a point.

Give it here. I'll go first.

Hi.

My name is Rashida Hamilton.

I was abandoned by my teenage mom.

But then I was adopted by a rich white family in Maine.

Every day, I was either molested or raped by

white men in my community.

I mean, I reached out for help, but no one wanted to help this little black

girl.

So I ran away.

And I ran away to Atlanta.

Here, it taught me how to survive.

Even taught me that being a black girl was a cool thing.

Then I ran into this amazing guy, horrible name.

I don't know if his parents was on crack or not, but he still was amazing.

He was so amazing that I...

I killed his wife, Maggie Simmons.

That's how amazing he was to me.

Your turn.

How do I follow that?

I mean, that was my story. You tell yours.

Yeah, but I think I need some inspiration first.

Only if you let me tie you up one more time.

It is quarantine, right?

Yeah.

Let's have fun in this quarantine relationship.

Sorry to interrupt.

Get her.

She killed my wife.

She? We killed her.

What is this?

Get her. I have the evidence on my phone.

Okay, we got this, Marcus.

Marcus?

Oh, yeah.

Marcus? I said my name is D -Drake, but it's Marcus, and I'm an undercover cop.

I'm an undercover cop, and so is my wife.

Good thing she had that vest on.

You're under arrest.

She don't love you!

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be held against you. You have the right to an

attorney. You're gonna pay!

You're gonna afford an attorney.

It's Deidre!

It's crazy.

Watch it.

You!

Man, why you ain't get her the first time you came through?

You know what was going on? You here making all them faces sitting here in

drawers? I was confused.

Man, look, I had to do something with her one more time.

Boy, stop it. Bet you didn't even have a mask on. I need to lock you up.

All right, six feet.

Oh, look, I got to give it to you, man. You caught on quick with them signs.

Hey, man, stay ready. You ain't got to get ready. I've been studying all night.

This Jeremy, boy, don't you owe me $40?

What's going on there, hero?

What's up?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Social distancing, remember? Six feet apart.

Yeah, yeah, my bad. I forgot.

I thought you went on vacation yesterday.

Well, I think I did.

Okay.

Well, you didn't call me here to chit -chat, so what's going on?

Okay.

Something I can't get past.

You fell in love with Rashida for real this time.

What?

No, no, it's nothing like that.

Okay, then what is it then?

Well Rashida, she showed me this video of my wife.

Oh, yeah.

I saw that video.

You guys went all out to make that look real.

See, that's the thing, bro.

That wasn't me in that video.

Wait, what?

Yeah, that video was real, but that wasn't me in the video.

No. No, your wife wouldn't do that to you, man.

Okay, well, if it was something for the case, then why don't I know anything

about it?

Wait, hold on.

Let me take this phone call real quick.

When?

Wait, what?

When?

How much?

You ain't got to be kidding me.

All right, I need a man on that right away.

And you keep me informed as to what information you find out on that.

And while I got you, um... Hey, you know that video?

Yeah, that video.

Got any information on that?

Email address, anything?

Really?

Okay, thanks a lot. And remember, keep me abreast of everything that goes on

with that missing money.

Okay, so apparently...

This originated from an A -Team Jeremy's email.

I mean, we're A -Team.

Do you know a Jeremy?

A -Team.

Jeremy?

Yo,

I gotta go.

What you mean? I'm at your house now. Ain't nobody here.

Girl, I done stole this money.

We got to get out of town.

I ain't got time for to be playing around.

What you mean? I'm at your house now. I got the money.

Nobody's here.

Listen, girl, I done stole this money.

It's only a matter of time for the whole police force to be after us.

Marcus. Nobody worried about Marcus.

Divorce him. Do whatever you gotta do. He's not a factor.

Listen, listen.

Just meet me by the lake in 30 minutes.

Let me call you back.

Marcus! Boy, you're gonna live a long time. You know I was just thinking about

you. Really?

What you mean, man? I came to see if you wanted to get a drink or something. I

got a reason to see my boy.

Your boy?

Yeah, my boy.

Okay, so I'm your boy now.

What's all this about, Marcus?

The thing is, I heard something different.

Yo, I don't know what you think you might have heard or might have not

but you got it all wrong, man.

It's 18.

I got it wrong.

It's 18.

Tell me what it is then, Calvin.

Tell me what it is.

Because what I think is, you've been smashing my wife behind my back.

Alright. Yeah, I've seen the video. Before you try to lie, I've seen the

I just messed up, baby.

I just messed up.

If I was you, I would be very careful of the next words I let come out of my

mouth. Blue lives matter, black lives matter, we all matter, baby.

Let's just take a knee and talk about this.

Did my wife matter? Did my life matter when you smashed my wife?

Calvin. What's going on, Chief?

You tell me what's going on.

It don't concern you. Wherever you came from, I advise you to go back.

What do you mean it doesn't concern me? I just came from Marcus' house.

I'm pretty sure you done told you everything you need to know.

Calvin, we're cops.

We're better than this. No, you're better than this.

This is my way out. You don't turn around and go the other way. I promise

next suit you wear gonna come with a hearse.

You're a good man. A good cop.

I brought you on to the 18 for a reason.

Yeah, you did bring me on the 18.

But I made the 18.

I don't want to took them sacrifices on what I got to show for it. Another

pension of 10, 15 years? My son's 10 years old. I can't wait on that.

Give me one last chance.

Put the gun down.

Hand me the bag.

You know, that was Marcus' mistake.

He thought I wouldn't shoot him either.

Was it worth it, Kelvin?

Dispatch. I lost him.

Meet me down at Carolina Beach Road.

Folks, it's been four months since the lockdown started, and the city is

starting to get back together.

That's the good news.

But since then, we've run into a few problems.

Several officers have been killed, and money is missing.

We have no clues, no leads.

I just want to say, these are good people.

They had families.

Didn't have to shoot them down like animals.

These officers These officers were friends of mine

They did not have to be killed like this

I'm sorry.

I can't do this.

What I decided to do is, at the end of every movie, I'm going to give you some

information that helped me in my life, and I have learned, and hopefully it

help you. So, this time, what I want to speak with for the first time, what I

want to speak about is understanding the difference between being employed, self

-employment, and running a business.

entrepreneur spirit because of the internet and information people have and

everybody wants to be our newer now and everybody wants to make a bunch of money

and all these different things and all those things are actually great if

in the right space when doing that the goal is not really to make a bunch of

money the goal is to have personal freedom and thrive so

Just because you become self -employed does not mean you have personal freedom

and does not mean you will thrive.

A lot of people thrive in employment, working for someone.

A lot of people thrive in running a business and have personal freedom in

So my whole point is I hear a lot of people complain about...

hating their job and hate working at their job and yada, yada, yada. They

hate being there. But I think it's your perspective that has messed everything

up.

Your job prepares you for your success.

It prepares you to get in a position to thrive.

It prepares you to get in a position of personal freedom.

It prepares you to make money and pass jewels down to your family.

So instead of going to your job, hating your job, understanding that your job is

a training ground.

Self -employment is transition.

Business is when you are thriving. We could say that it's thriving,

but you must understand, don't be such in a rush to be self -employed and

start your business if you haven't conquered employment.

And what I'm saying is, A lot of people want to be self -employed. A lot of

people want to leave their job.

But when you're employed, they tell you what to do, when to do it, how to do it,

and they guarantee your check.

But when you're self -employed, none of that stuff is guaranteed. You have to

just get up early enough, work late enough, and you just have to keep going,

hoping the job is done. When you're running the business, you're putting the

responsibility onto somebody else.

So my point is, When you're working for somebody, if you can't, if they're

telling you what to do and how to do it and you can't be to work on time every

day and you can't work to a high level and you know what you need to be doing,

how are you going to do that for yourself?

How are you going to be self -employed and do that for your own business?

If you don't become a great employer, excuse me, a great employee.

How are you going to be able to hire great employees?

You don't know what that is.

And so, and I'm really speaking to the people that take their job for granted

and don't give 100 % for their job because they know it's not their last

They know it's not their goal, but it's a part of the process and you have to

master each step to get to the top.

Once the game starts, that's not when you learn. It's not when you start doing

right. That's when the habits of everything you've done in the past kick

sorry if the camera's shaking i don't have it on the gimbal but um so it's

important while you're at your job be the best employee you can be this is

training ground to run your business and you're working for a business whether

you think it's a good business or bad there are always lessons and rules to

learn so while you're at their job you need to know um the company's profile

need to know the company's customer profile you need to know why y 'all

eight hour shifts and not 12 hour shifts You need to know why y 'all work Monday

through Friday, not seven days a week. You need to know why y 'all take breaks,

15 -minute breaks instead of 30 -minute breaks.

When a supervisor job comes up and people are applying for the job, you

be able to guess who is going to get the job. But you need to understand the

business that you are working with because this is practice for running

business. This is not a place to get your head down. This is not a place to

to get over. This is not a place that when you come there, you come in just

enough time to still get paid. You leave just early enough to still get paid.

No, this is your practice. This is your habits. No matter what you do in life,

you are creating a habit.

So if you're not trying to eat healthy, every time you don't, you are creating

the habit of not eating healthy.

Every time you try to eat healthy, guess what you are doing?

You are creating the habit of eating healthy. So every time you go to work

you don't give it 100%, you are creating a habit in your life of not giving it

100%. If anybody has ever played sports before, one thing a coach will always

tell you during practice is to practice full speed.

So when you're in the game, you don't have to try. It's like muscle memory.

just the habits. That's what practice is for.

Game time is not a time to learn. Game time is a time to execute.

So when you're at work, it's a time to learn. So when you get your own

you can execute.

This is very, very important.

And I feel like there's a lot of people that need to hear this because they want

to start a business and do different things, but they don't know how to be

for a business.

They don't know how to help a business grow.

I'm going to end by saying this. One of the biggest things I have learned.

One of the biggest things is when I go to learn something, I don't, and I say

I work with somebody else, helping them with their project, and you know, I want

to learn.

The best way to learn, the best way to create your habits is to not go there

do what most people do that I have seen. Snoop around, get equipment, snoop

around. then try to go and copy what they're doing. The habit you are trying

get when you go help somebody is making something great.

So when you go help somebody else with their film, when you go help somebody

else with their salon, when you go help somebody else with their barbershop, you

go help somebody else with their computer business or their delivery

your job is to help that business be the best it can be while you are there.

Because when you start your own business, that is the habit that you are

carrying over.

And this is going to end up being longer than I thought it was.

But yeah, hey, hey, always give 100%. That's the bottom line. No matter what

is, how it is, what you're doing, just make sure it's good, it's righteous, and

give 100 % every time. Be blessed.
