Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,502 --> 00:00:04,465
I serve as an equalizer.
2
00:00:04,550 --> 00:00:06,658
I'm the one you call
when you can't call 911.
3
00:00:06,743 --> 00:00:08,055
Previously, in "The Equalizer"...
4
00:00:08,150 --> 00:00:09,252
Federal agents!
5
00:00:09,337 --> 00:00:10,402
Don't move!
6
00:00:10,487 --> 00:00:11,621
Harry "Keys" Keshegian,
7
00:00:11,688 --> 00:00:13,445
you're under arrest
for espionage.
8
00:00:13,530 --> 00:00:14,539
I want to know who
9
00:00:14,624 --> 00:00:15,509
owns this place.
10
00:00:15,594 --> 00:00:17,476
You don't normally need help
with stuff like that.
11
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:18,862
My computer's down.
12
00:00:18,928 --> 00:00:21,525
I have a close friend
who I can't help.
13
00:00:21,610 --> 00:00:23,729
Trust yourself.
You can do it.
14
00:00:23,814 --> 00:00:26,042
Please tell me you have
a miracle up your sleeve,
15
00:00:26,127 --> 00:00:28,048
because I'm all out.
16
00:00:28,192 --> 00:00:29,426
They're releasing him.
17
00:00:29,511 --> 00:00:32,605
I heard it was the
president who intervened.
18
00:00:32,690 --> 00:00:34,658
Well, don't get too excited.
There are conditions.
19
00:00:34,743 --> 00:00:37,618
Harry can never touch
a computer again.
20
00:00:47,988 --> 00:00:49,267
No.
21
00:00:49,366 --> 00:00:51,334
No! Please, no!
22
00:00:59,056 --> 00:01:00,276
Psychology.
23
00:01:00,361 --> 00:01:02,019
Maybe. Economics.
24
00:01:02,104 --> 00:01:04,207
No. Art history.
25
00:01:04,273 --> 00:01:06,042
- You'd like that one, Aunt Vi.
- Yeah.
26
00:01:06,108 --> 00:01:09,512
I have one elective I can take
next semester.
27
00:01:09,579 --> 00:01:10,880
Woodshop might be cool?
28
00:01:10,947 --> 00:01:12,715
We could use a birdhouse.
29
00:01:12,782 --> 00:01:14,585
What does your college counselor
have to say?
30
00:01:14,670 --> 00:01:16,750
Take a class that'll make me
look like an interesting
31
00:01:16,835 --> 00:01:18,087
and well-rounded candidate.
32
00:01:18,154 --> 00:01:19,460
But, I don't know,
33
00:01:19,545 --> 00:01:22,421
that's if I even want
to go to college.
34
00:01:23,273 --> 00:01:25,576
I mean, a degree isn't
the only path to success.
35
00:01:25,661 --> 00:01:28,531
Look at Steve Jobs,
Anna Wintour,
36
00:01:28,598 --> 00:01:29,681
Daymond John...
37
00:01:29,765 --> 00:01:31,439
None of them graduated college.
38
00:01:31,767 --> 00:01:33,719
And none of them live
under this roof.
39
00:01:33,803 --> 00:01:35,187
Morning, Mom.
40
00:01:35,271 --> 00:01:36,960
Dee, you were always so excited
41
00:01:37,045 --> 00:01:38,063
about going
to college.
42
00:01:38,148 --> 00:01:40,491
I know. Well, maybe I'm just...
43
00:01:40,576 --> 00:01:42,195
exploring
different perspectives.
44
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,365
Yeah, well,
from my perspective,
45
00:01:44,598 --> 00:01:45,948
you're going to college.
46
00:01:46,173 --> 00:01:47,557
Okay, we still have
a couple years
47
00:01:47,642 --> 00:01:50,384
- before I'm old...
- You leave for college, yes.
48
00:01:50,812 --> 00:01:52,204
Okay.
49
00:01:52,748 --> 00:01:54,587
I got to go
meet Tiffany.
50
00:01:54,672 --> 00:01:56,322
A bunch of us
are going skating at Wolman's.
51
00:01:56,407 --> 00:01:58,110
But I love you.
52
00:01:58,194 --> 00:01:59,111
Bye.
53
00:01:59,195 --> 00:02:00,279
Bye.
54
00:02:00,363 --> 00:02:01,516
Where do you think
55
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,077
that's coming from?
56
00:02:03,162 --> 00:02:06,117
Sometimes I think she just says
things to see how we'll react.
57
00:02:06,202 --> 00:02:08,187
I swear, man.
58
00:02:08,272 --> 00:02:10,468
I got to skate out
of here, too, Aunt Vi.
59
00:02:10,553 --> 00:02:12,773
All right.
Right behind you.
60
00:02:15,724 --> 00:02:17,116
Look at you.
61
00:02:17,201 --> 00:02:18,952
Mm-hmm.
62
00:02:19,083 --> 00:02:20,407
Upstairs,
63
00:02:20,492 --> 00:02:22,210
in the light of day.
64
00:02:22,939 --> 00:02:24,226
How's it feel?
65
00:02:24,338 --> 00:02:26,637
I think it'd feel a little
better if the, uh, FBI hadn't
66
00:02:26,722 --> 00:02:28,499
repossessed my safe
space and banned me
67
00:02:28,584 --> 00:02:31,054
from... doing the only thing
which gives my life meaning.
68
00:02:31,139 --> 00:02:32,590
At least you're
not in prison, babe.
69
00:02:32,675 --> 00:02:34,984
And you don't have to pretend
to be dead.
70
00:02:35,069 --> 00:02:36,367
Like you wanted.
71
00:02:36,452 --> 00:02:38,489
I know, I know.
Don't get me wrong...
72
00:02:38,574 --> 00:02:41,760
It is amazing
being out in the world again.
73
00:02:41,938 --> 00:02:43,322
Except
for those electric scooters.
74
00:02:43,406 --> 00:02:45,647
Who authorized
those death traps?
75
00:02:45,944 --> 00:02:49,641
But what's the point of
gaining the world if it means
76
00:02:49,726 --> 00:02:51,544
losing your place in it?
77
00:02:51,632 --> 00:02:53,726
We'll find your place.
78
00:02:53,916 --> 00:02:55,100
I promise.
79
00:02:55,185 --> 00:02:56,304
- Yeah.
- But that's not
80
00:02:56,389 --> 00:02:58,273
why we called.
We got a message
81
00:02:58,387 --> 00:03:00,351
from Deidre Blickman.
82
00:03:00,436 --> 00:03:02,520
The wife of the rapper, Dilemma?
83
00:03:02,605 --> 00:03:03,827
That's the one.
84
00:03:03,912 --> 00:03:07,031
The guy gunned down his rival,
Dre Bids, in cold blood
85
00:03:07,116 --> 00:03:08,773
as part of a rap beef.
86
00:03:09,296 --> 00:03:10,881
Yeah, I know who he is.
87
00:03:10,966 --> 00:03:11,983
What does the wife want?
88
00:03:12,089 --> 00:03:13,389
She says he didn't do it.
89
00:03:13,803 --> 00:03:15,087
Well, I thought he confessed.
90
00:03:15,171 --> 00:03:17,890
He did. But she says she has
proof that it wasn't him.
91
00:03:18,271 --> 00:03:20,116
What's the proof?
92
00:03:20,464 --> 00:03:24,117
♪ I might've heard it was
a .38 behind the door ♪
93
00:03:24,202 --> 00:03:27,250
♪ The time of death
when he left the Earth, 9:04 ♪
94
00:03:27,335 --> 00:03:30,437
♪ And now his rival in the game
is sitting in a cell ♪
95
00:03:30,522 --> 00:03:34,437
♪ And plus the one who spit
the shells is living in hell. ♪
96
00:03:34,522 --> 00:03:36,107
The exact time
he died.
97
00:03:36,192 --> 00:03:37,843
Shot by a .38?
98
00:03:37,927 --> 00:03:40,012
Those details
were never released publicly.
99
00:03:40,096 --> 00:03:42,080
This song is
a confession.
100
00:03:42,164 --> 00:03:45,656
So you think whoever recorded
this track killed Dre Bids,
101
00:03:45,741 --> 00:03:46,774
not your husband.
102
00:03:46,859 --> 00:03:48,654
I never believed
Greg's confession.
103
00:03:48,738 --> 00:03:50,812
- Now I know I was right.
- Who's the artist?
104
00:03:50,897 --> 00:03:52,265
He goes by the name Sid Slay.
105
00:03:52,350 --> 00:03:54,515
The track dropped on SoundCloud
just about a month ago.
106
00:03:54,624 --> 00:03:57,195
We tried to find him,
but his account's anonymous.
107
00:03:57,795 --> 00:03:59,725
What does your husband
have to say about this?
108
00:03:59,849 --> 00:04:01,133
Told me to leave it alone.
109
00:04:01,217 --> 00:04:02,901
But we've been married
a long time.
110
00:04:02,985 --> 00:04:03,769
I know
111
00:04:03,853 --> 00:04:05,237
when he's keeping
something from me.
112
00:04:05,321 --> 00:04:08,029
My dad's not a murderer.
113
00:04:08,350 --> 00:04:11,469
I'm not sure if you take cases
from people like me,
114
00:04:11,701 --> 00:04:13,210
but I don't know where to turn.
115
00:04:13,295 --> 00:04:15,077
Something's
not right.
116
00:04:15,498 --> 00:04:18,050
I just need someone
who can tell me the truth.
117
00:04:18,134 --> 00:04:20,319
Come on, Ma.
We know the truth.
118
00:04:20,403 --> 00:04:21,827
He did it.
Shut up!
119
00:04:21,912 --> 00:04:23,563
Watch your mouth, Daoud.
120
00:04:23,648 --> 00:04:25,165
Just speaking the truth, Ma.
121
00:04:25,474 --> 00:04:27,326
Shotta Boys jumped me.
122
00:04:27,410 --> 00:04:28,727
Dad set it right.
123
00:04:28,811 --> 00:04:29,528
Daoud,
124
00:04:29,612 --> 00:04:31,029
take your brother
to his art class
125
00:04:31,113 --> 00:04:32,109
and pick him up after.
126
00:04:32,194 --> 00:04:33,679
Yo, you can't just call him
an Uber?
127
00:04:33,883 --> 00:04:34,900
I got somewhere to be.
128
00:04:34,984 --> 00:04:37,335
Take your brother
to his class.
129
00:04:37,754 --> 00:04:39,128
Now.
130
00:04:40,084 --> 00:04:41,958
Get your stuff, Nasir.
131
00:04:47,359 --> 00:04:48,413
Bye, Ma.
132
00:04:48,497 --> 00:04:49,681
It was nice
meeting you.
133
00:04:50,866 --> 00:04:52,820
You have
to forgive Daoud.
134
00:04:53,038 --> 00:04:54,956
All his life, he wanted
to be like his father.
135
00:04:55,041 --> 00:04:56,825
Started rapping
when he was eight years old.
136
00:04:57,070 --> 00:04:59,835
He's been in so much pain ever
since his dad went to prison.
137
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:01,405
He became hard.
138
00:05:01,490 --> 00:05:03,464
Started running the streets.
139
00:05:04,046 --> 00:05:05,601
Trying to take up the mantle?
140
00:05:05,686 --> 00:05:07,612
My husband's gangsta image
sold a lot of records,
141
00:05:07,697 --> 00:05:08,947
but that's not who he is.
142
00:05:09,032 --> 00:05:10,178
Is that so?
143
00:05:10,263 --> 00:05:12,237
Because from what I read,
even before the murder,
144
00:05:12,321 --> 00:05:14,439
things were getting violent
between the two crews.
145
00:05:14,523 --> 00:05:16,308
Joke is...
146
00:05:16,392 --> 00:05:19,999
whole damn beef started out
as a PR stunt to sell tracks.
147
00:05:20,655 --> 00:05:22,079
It just got so out of hand,
148
00:05:22,164 --> 00:05:24,316
with them trying to be
what they rapped about.
149
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,093
Last year, Dre Bids' gang,
the Shotta Boys,
150
00:05:27,210 --> 00:05:31,456
beat Daoud up so badly
he had to be hospitalized.
151
00:05:31,859 --> 00:05:34,760
My husband's crew
wanted revenge, but...
152
00:05:34,844 --> 00:05:37,773
he saw what the music was doing.
153
00:05:38,419 --> 00:05:41,101
He just wanted to be done
with the violence.
154
00:05:42,418 --> 00:05:44,870
That's how I know it wasn't him.
155
00:05:45,373 --> 00:05:46,771
If your husband is innocent,
156
00:05:46,856 --> 00:05:48,398
he confessed for a reason.
157
00:05:48,915 --> 00:05:50,585
He must be covering
for something.
158
00:05:50,670 --> 00:05:52,654
I know what you're thinking,
159
00:05:52,739 --> 00:05:54,352
but Nasir was home with me
160
00:05:54,437 --> 00:05:56,687
and Daoud and his boys
were at Club Cypher.
161
00:05:57,339 --> 00:05:58,990
If Greg's covering,
162
00:05:59,075 --> 00:06:00,812
it's for someone else...
163
00:06:00,897 --> 00:06:02,614
This Sid Slay...
164
00:06:02,904 --> 00:06:05,146
And I need to know why.
165
00:06:06,627 --> 00:06:08,101
Your client's right.
166
00:06:08,429 --> 00:06:10,648
Those details about the murder
were never made public.
167
00:06:10,733 --> 00:06:12,717
So how'd they wind up
in that SoundCloud track?
168
00:06:12,813 --> 00:06:14,665
Does it matter?
Dilemma confessed.
169
00:06:14,757 --> 00:06:16,766
It matters
if he isn't the real killer.
170
00:06:16,851 --> 00:06:18,196
I thought we were all about
the truth.
171
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:19,303
You want the truth?
172
00:06:19,388 --> 00:06:21,907
How about the toll their beef
has taken on the community?
173
00:06:21,991 --> 00:06:23,508
How about the ten-year-old girl
who got killed
174
00:06:23,592 --> 00:06:25,377
in the crossfire of a shoot-out
175
00:06:25,461 --> 00:06:26,812
between Shotta Boys and B-Set,
176
00:06:26,896 --> 00:06:29,015
all because Dilemma
killed Dre Bids?
177
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:30,349
And what if he didn't?
178
00:06:30,434 --> 00:06:31,755
Imagine what that would change.
179
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:33,354
Why confess if he didn't do it?
180
00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:34,867
That's what I want to ask him.
181
00:06:35,004 --> 00:06:36,388
You think
you can arrange a visit?
182
00:06:36,472 --> 00:06:37,522
I can.
183
00:06:37,606 --> 00:06:38,857
But I'm coming along.
184
00:06:38,941 --> 00:06:40,192
I'll meet you there.
185
00:06:40,276 --> 00:06:43,128
In the meantime,
I'll track down this Sid Slay,
186
00:06:43,351 --> 00:06:47,121
find out how he has details
only the real killer could know.
187
00:06:48,184 --> 00:06:50,469
Okay, so you want me
to trace the IP
188
00:06:50,553 --> 00:06:52,003
of whoever it is
that dropped that track?
189
00:06:52,087 --> 00:06:53,804
I would love to.
Oh! Wait, that's right...
190
00:06:53,889 --> 00:06:56,642
The FBI forbade me from
ever using a computer again.
191
00:06:56,855 --> 00:06:59,040
Rob, if anyone
were to see me...
192
00:06:59,125 --> 00:07:00,942
You can't touch a computer,
but Mel can.
193
00:07:01,027 --> 00:07:03,387
Why don't you walk her through
it? That's technically legal.
194
00:07:03,538 --> 00:07:05,283
Yeah. Legal, uh, yeah.
195
00:07:05,367 --> 00:07:06,885
Uh, a good idea? Eh.
196
00:07:06,969 --> 00:07:09,133
I mean, you want us
to stay married, right?
197
00:07:09,218 --> 00:07:11,857
I mean, between her control
issues and my control issues...
198
00:07:11,941 --> 00:07:13,291
Oh, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
199
00:07:13,375 --> 00:07:14,765
We would murder each other.
200
00:07:14,850 --> 00:07:16,490
Can you at least try?
201
00:07:17,101 --> 00:07:20,148
I guess it's got to be better
than being completely useless.
202
00:07:20,247 --> 00:07:22,755
Um, want to give it a shot?
203
00:07:24,999 --> 00:07:27,060
Uh, yeah.
204
00:07:27,145 --> 00:07:28,393
I'll go get
the laptop.
205
00:07:28,478 --> 00:07:30,285

That ain't nothing.
212
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,224
Just some fraud
looking for street cred.
213
00:07:47,358 --> 00:07:51,211
That fraud is confessing to a
murder you're serving time for.
214
00:07:51,413 --> 00:07:53,966
With details only someone
at the scene would have.
215
00:07:54,146 --> 00:07:55,600
Like cops don't talk?
216
00:07:55,684 --> 00:07:57,927
That same talk
can hit the streets.
217
00:07:58,012 --> 00:08:00,630
And you're sure no one else
was there that night?
218
00:08:00,715 --> 00:08:02,042
Just me.
219
00:08:02,166 --> 00:08:04,718
Not your boys? Not your crew?
220
00:08:05,060 --> 00:08:07,445
You just walked up to
Dre Bids and shot him?
221
00:08:07,530 --> 00:08:09,011
That's right.
222
00:08:09,096 --> 00:08:13,038
Yeah? And how'd you know he
was gonna be there that night?
223
00:08:14,103 --> 00:08:15,372
Guard!
224
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:16,815
You know
what's happening
225
00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:18,084
out there?
226
00:08:18,340 --> 00:08:19,891
Shotta Boys sending hitters,
227
00:08:19,976 --> 00:08:21,099
B-Set doing the same,
228
00:08:21,184 --> 00:08:23,168
all because they think
you killed Dre Bids.
229
00:08:23,253 --> 00:08:24,738
But if you didn't do it...
230
00:08:24,826 --> 00:08:27,134
We're done here.
231
00:08:28,121 --> 00:08:29,595
Let's go.
232
00:08:30,119 --> 00:08:32,370
If you knew
what was best for you,
233
00:08:32,454 --> 00:08:34,206
you would leave this
alone.
234
00:08:37,907 --> 00:08:40,115
He's hiding something.
No doubt.
235
00:08:41,330 --> 00:08:43,515
I'll take a look
at the case files,
236
00:08:43,599 --> 00:08:45,517
see if anything
got overlooked.
237
00:08:45,601 --> 00:08:47,419
I'll talk
to the players involved.
238
00:08:47,503 --> 00:08:49,321
Hey. Be careful.
239
00:08:49,405 --> 00:08:51,957
A lot of bodies between
Shotta Boys and B-Set.
240
00:08:52,041 --> 00:08:53,153
They don't mess around.
241
00:08:53,238 --> 00:08:55,379
Neither do I.
242
00:08:55,811 --> 00:08:58,530
But thanks for the concern.
243
00:09:19,493 --> 00:09:21,311
Cops are back.
244
00:09:21,396 --> 00:09:22,654
Asking questions,
245
00:09:22,738 --> 00:09:24,763
digging into that thing.
246
00:09:26,075 --> 00:09:27,692
You know what to do.
247
00:09:29,529 --> 00:09:31,529
*THE EQUALIZER (2021)*
Season 02 Episode 09
248
00:09:31,613 --> 00:09:33,613
Episode Title: "Bout That Life"
Aired on: January 09, 2022.
249
00:09:39,654 --> 00:09:41,939
Oh, you don't have
to hit Search every time.
250
00:09:42,016 --> 00:09:43,523
You know what?
You want to do it?
251
00:09:43,608 --> 00:09:45,609
Oh, wait, you can't. So...
252
00:09:45,694 --> 00:09:48,246
stop hovering.
Wow. Way to kick a man when he's down.
253
00:09:48,305 --> 00:09:49,746
Well, you're...
254
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,244
Hey, Rob.
255
00:09:52,368 --> 00:09:53,519
How'd it go with Dilemma?
256
00:09:53,603 --> 00:09:55,320
He was uncooperative,
to say the least.
257
00:09:55,404 --> 00:09:58,157
Uncooperative, huh?
That must be really frustrating.
258
00:09:58,241 --> 00:09:59,558
I have the Feds on speed dial.
259
00:09:59,642 --> 00:10:00,704
- I do.
- Okay.
260
00:10:00,789 --> 00:10:02,446
How 'bout you kill
each other later?
261
00:10:02,531 --> 00:10:04,196
Any luck IDing our artist?
262
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,464
Yeah, so this Sid Slay
263
00:10:05,548 --> 00:10:06,735
may have implicated himself
in murder,
264
00:10:06,819 --> 00:10:09,540
but he was smart enough to, uh,
use a VPN while doing it.
265
00:10:09,625 --> 00:10:11,969
So now we're analyzing
the recording itself,
266
00:10:12,054 --> 00:10:13,205
pulling apart the tracks
and looking
267
00:10:13,289 --> 00:10:14,506
for anything distinctive.
268
00:10:14,590 --> 00:10:15,672
- How's that going?
- Uh, you know,
269
00:10:15,756 --> 00:10:17,306
it's a pretty sparse track,
but he's got
270
00:10:17,390 --> 00:10:19,030
lots and lots of layers
of effects
271
00:10:19,115 --> 00:10:20,993
- on his vocals.
- Probably to disguise it.
272
00:10:21,078 --> 00:10:24,172
That's what I would do if I was
trying to get away with murder.
273
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:27,062
Speaking of murder,
did Dante send the case files?
274
00:10:27,148 --> 00:10:28,754
Yeah, he did.
275
00:10:28,838 --> 00:10:29,888
You just hit Comman...
276
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,124
Andre Smith,
277
00:10:33,209 --> 00:10:35,594
better known
as the rap artist Dre Bids.
278
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,732
He was shot outside his
recording studio three times.
279
00:10:38,848 --> 00:10:40,732
The only eyewitness
280
00:10:40,816 --> 00:10:42,734
was Cordell Marshall,
a rapper known as Brawlah.
281
00:10:42,818 --> 00:10:45,875
The report says that Brawlah
was a protégé of Dre Bids.
282
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,111
Seems friendly.
283
00:10:47,199 --> 00:10:48,337
So, this Brawlah
284
00:10:48,422 --> 00:10:49,773
actually witnessed the shooting?
285
00:10:49,959 --> 00:10:51,710
He arrived to
find the body,
286
00:10:51,794 --> 00:10:54,086
and he told his boys that he
saw Dilemma fleeing the scene.
287
00:10:54,170 --> 00:10:56,570
And the gun recovered
was registered to Dilemma.
288
00:10:56,655 --> 00:10:57,805
I don't know, Rob.
289
00:10:57,921 --> 00:10:59,617
I mean, it was Dilemma's gun.
290
00:10:59,702 --> 00:11:00,578
He confessed.
291
00:11:00,663 --> 00:11:02,382
- Are you sure it's not him?
- No.
292
00:11:02,558 --> 00:11:04,743
But there's more to it
than folks are letting on.
293
00:11:05,335 --> 00:11:07,626
Where can I find Brawlah?

306
00:11:32,034 --> 00:11:34,030
Uh, yes. I'm Sandra Wright.
307
00:11:34,303 --> 00:11:36,234
From Beat Muse podcast.
308
00:11:36,319 --> 00:11:37,953
I'm here
to interview Brawlah.
309
00:11:38,038 --> 00:11:39,805
It's for our piece
on the one-year anniversary
310
00:11:39,889 --> 00:11:41,047
of Dre Bids' death.
311
00:11:41,132 --> 00:11:42,730
I'm sorry.
You're not on the schedule.
312
00:11:42,845 --> 00:11:44,296
I should be.
313
00:11:44,421 --> 00:11:45,931
Uh...
Either we do this now
314
00:11:46,015 --> 00:11:47,666
or we produce it
without him.
315
00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:50,095
All I know is I wouldn't want
to be the person who tells him
316
00:11:50,179 --> 00:11:52,952
he wasn't included in
the big tribute to his mentor.
317
00:11:55,993 --> 00:11:57,611
He was the best to ever do it.
318
00:11:57,696 --> 00:12:00,348
And when Dre Bids took me
under his wing, it was like...
319
00:12:00,687 --> 00:12:02,548
being drafted into the NBA.
320
00:12:02,858 --> 00:12:05,328
I know his death
must have been painful for you.
321
00:12:05,413 --> 00:12:07,586
But can you take me
through that night?
322
00:12:07,670 --> 00:12:09,778
I got a text from him earlier.
323
00:12:09,863 --> 00:12:11,538
He thought something
might be poppin' off
324
00:12:11,623 --> 00:12:12,742
at the studio that night.
325
00:12:12,827 --> 00:12:14,326
But by the time
I got there, I...
326
00:12:14,562 --> 00:12:15,874
I couldn't believe it.
327
00:12:17,647 --> 00:12:19,765
My man's lying dead
on the ground.
328
00:12:20,669 --> 00:12:22,163
And Dilemma?
329
00:12:25,635 --> 00:12:28,187
It ain't snitching
if the man already confessed.
330
00:12:29,692 --> 00:12:31,610
He was peeling off
just as I rolled up.
331
00:12:31,921 --> 00:12:34,613
So you actually saw him
or just his car?
332
00:12:34,791 --> 00:12:36,538
Who else would it be
in his whip?
333
00:12:38,501 --> 00:12:40,319
What's the deal
with all of these questions?
334
00:12:40,409 --> 00:12:41,969
Ain't you here about his music?
335
00:12:42,054 --> 00:12:45,490
Yeah, but this new
confession track by Sid Slay
336
00:12:45,702 --> 00:12:47,392
made it seem
like he was there, too.
337
00:12:47,476 --> 00:12:50,629
Look, I don't know nothin'
about a Sid Slay.
338
00:12:50,713 --> 00:12:53,565
All I know is I got Dre's text,
left Cypher
339
00:12:53,649 --> 00:12:54,633
and found
him dead.
340
00:12:54,717 --> 00:12:56,001
And had I seen his text sooner,
341
00:12:56,085 --> 00:12:57,336
it'd be Dilemma in the dirt.
342
00:12:57,420 --> 00:12:59,037
You were at Cypher Club
that night?
343
00:12:59,121 --> 00:13:00,194
What I said.
344
00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:02,640
Anything go down that night?
Any conflict?
345
00:13:02,725 --> 00:13:04,249
Nah, we were celebrating.
346
00:13:04,527 --> 00:13:06,523
My man just came home
from a ten-year bid.
347
00:13:06,608 --> 00:13:07,446
It was all love.
348
00:13:07,530 --> 00:13:09,481
What about Daoud Blickman?
349
00:13:09,601 --> 00:13:10,949
Did you see him there
that night?
350
00:13:11,226 --> 00:13:12,841
Dilemma's son?
351
00:13:12,926 --> 00:13:14,844
Hell nah,
his punk ass wasn't there.
352
00:13:15,136 --> 00:13:17,054
Shotta Boys had the spot
on lock.
353
00:13:17,194 --> 00:13:19,424
If Daoud or anybody else
repping B-Set
354
00:13:19,508 --> 00:13:20,789
would've showed up that night,
355
00:13:20,874 --> 00:13:23,352
they'd've left
in a body bag.
356
00:13:23,843 --> 00:13:27,241
So Daoud lied about
where he was the night of the murder?
357
00:13:27,326 --> 00:13:28,543
You don't think...
358
00:13:28,628 --> 00:13:30,368
He's someone
Dilemma would want to protect.
359
00:13:30,453 --> 00:13:31,937
And the kid's got motive.
360
00:13:32,021 --> 00:13:33,405
You think he's Sid Slay.
361
00:13:33,489 --> 00:13:35,340
It'd explain
why the voice is disguised.
362
00:13:35,424 --> 00:13:37,409
But if his father
is covering for him,
363
00:13:37,493 --> 00:13:39,016
why would he risk
putting it out there?
364
00:13:39,101 --> 00:13:40,679
I mean, what does
he have to gain?
365
00:13:40,763 --> 00:13:42,614
I'm on my way to find out now.
366
00:13:42,698 --> 00:13:44,499
How's it going
analyzing that track?
367
00:13:44,584 --> 00:13:46,502
Mm, nothing yet.
368
00:13:46,587 --> 00:13:48,055
But you know how they say
369
00:13:48,140 --> 00:13:49,620
married people
shouldn't work together
370
00:13:49,705 --> 00:13:51,233
if they want to stay married?
371
00:13:51,419 --> 00:13:53,627
Yeah, we have, uh...
372
00:13:54,004 --> 00:13:56,623
...made a few
adjustments.
373
00:13:57,116 --> 00:13:57,963
You look nervous.
374
00:13:58,047 --> 00:13:59,054
You want to stop?
375
00:13:59,139 --> 00:14:01,280
Just don't get caught.
376
00:14:02,650 --> 00:14:04,736
- No. Stop. No.
- Uh-uh.
377
00:14:04,820 --> 00:14:07,105
No. No. Stop. No.
378
00:14:07,189 --> 00:14:08,707
Do it again.
You'll live to regret it.
379
00:14:08,791 --> 00:14:09,903
Oh, so you want
to throw hands, huh?
380
00:14:09,995 --> 00:14:11,980
- Yeah, I do.
- Oh.
381
00:14:13,729 --> 00:14:15,070
Hey.
382
00:14:15,155 --> 00:14:16,266
You're back.
383
00:14:16,351 --> 00:14:18,517
Aunt Vi, you're... here.
384
00:14:18,601 --> 00:14:20,523
Yes. I got back early.
385
00:14:20,707 --> 00:14:21,962
Who's your friend?
386
00:14:22,047 --> 00:14:23,754
Um...
387
00:14:23,981 --> 00:14:25,640
Aunt Vi, this
is Cameron.
388
00:14:25,725 --> 00:14:28,377
But he has to get home, so...
389
00:14:28,475 --> 00:14:30,773
Oh, nonsense. Cameron...
390
00:14:30,895 --> 00:14:32,130
...why don't you come on in
for a bit.
391
00:14:32,214 --> 00:14:33,665
I just ordered
a pizza.
392
00:14:34,007 --> 00:14:37,759
A'ight. Yeah,
that sounds cool. Thanks.
393
00:14:42,093 --> 00:14:43,442
So...
394
00:14:43,718 --> 00:14:45,577
you go to
Dee's school?
395
00:14:45,780 --> 00:14:47,646
Nah, to Jefferson.
In the Bronx.
396
00:14:47,730 --> 00:14:49,414
So then how'd you two meet?
397
00:14:49,498 --> 00:14:50,515
Uh, through Tiffany.
398
00:14:50,599 --> 00:14:52,150
- Yeah, she's my cousin.
- Oh.
399
00:14:52,234 --> 00:14:53,608
That's nice.
400
00:14:53,693 --> 00:14:54,777
So,
401
00:14:54,862 --> 00:14:56,153
are you a sophomore, too?
402
00:14:56,238 --> 00:14:57,723
Junior, actually.
403
00:14:57,807 --> 00:15:00,058
So you must be starting
to think about colleges.
404
00:15:00,142 --> 00:15:01,366
Oh, nah.
405
00:15:01,482 --> 00:15:03,656
Not going
to college.
406
00:15:04,013 --> 00:15:05,163
Really?
407
00:15:05,247 --> 00:15:06,679
And why is that?
408
00:15:06,764 --> 00:15:09,049
Well, I just believe it's
not worth going into debt for.
409
00:15:09,655 --> 00:15:10,968
I got
other plans.
410
00:15:11,053 --> 00:15:12,003
Oh, I see.
411
00:15:12,087 --> 00:15:14,139
You're a... you're a pragmatist.
412
00:15:15,858 --> 00:15:18,523
Well, college is a luxury
that most of us can't afford.
413
00:15:18,766 --> 00:15:20,817
And that's why people
in my position, we...
414
00:15:20,902 --> 00:15:23,031
we create other options
for ourselves.
415
00:15:23,116 --> 00:15:25,817
You know, Cameron,
I'm all for options, but...
416
00:15:25,901 --> 00:15:28,125
I think a degree
can be very helpful,
417
00:15:28,210 --> 00:15:30,989
especially for those of us
who aren't starting out on a...
418
00:15:31,073 --> 00:15:32,724
on a level playing field.
419
00:15:32,929 --> 00:15:35,527
Well, Cameron's
a straight A student.
420
00:15:35,611 --> 00:15:38,052
I mean, it doesn't take money
to be smart.
421
00:15:38,325 --> 00:15:40,391
Growing up in the hood,
it never stopped
422
00:15:40,476 --> 00:15:42,200
my parents from exposing me
to everything,
423
00:15:42,530 --> 00:15:44,469
from politics
to poetry.
424
00:15:44,553 --> 00:15:46,038
And those
high tuitions,
425
00:15:46,123 --> 00:15:47,474
they're there for a reason.
426
00:15:47,559 --> 00:15:49,344
It's to keep people
like me away.
427
00:15:49,498 --> 00:15:51,809
So why should I go broke
for the privilege
428
00:15:51,894 --> 00:15:54,179

Hey, yo,
437
00:16:16,318 --> 00:16:17,476
let me get a minute.
438
00:16:17,561 --> 00:16:19,469
- All right, dude.
- Mm-hmm.
439
00:16:28,110 --> 00:16:29,561
Look,
440
00:16:29,732 --> 00:16:32,250
all due respect,
whatever you think you need,
441
00:16:32,334 --> 00:16:33,985
my moms is wasting her time.
442
00:16:34,069 --> 00:16:35,086
Is that right?
443
00:16:35,170 --> 00:16:37,522
Why did you tell your mom
you were at Club Cypher
444
00:16:37,606 --> 00:16:39,335
the night Dre Bids was killed?
445
00:16:39,444 --> 00:16:40,727
Because I was.
446
00:16:40,812 --> 00:16:41,860
Really?
447
00:16:41,968 --> 00:16:44,179
So how was the Shotta Boys
homecoming party?
448
00:16:45,638 --> 00:16:47,122
You know
what I think?
449
00:16:47,207 --> 00:16:49,484
After Shottas jumped you,
you wanted some payback.
450
00:16:49,885 --> 00:16:51,452
But Gangsta Jr. got sloppy,
451
00:16:51,537 --> 00:16:54,133
- and Daddy had to come clean up after him.
- It ain't like that.
452
00:16:54,225 --> 00:16:56,404
Got some other reason
you'd lie to your mom?
453
00:16:56,959 --> 00:16:59,277
All right, you want to know
where I was?
454
00:16:59,361 --> 00:17:00,712
I was here, recording.
455
00:17:00,796 --> 00:17:01,947
Now, you can check
the booking records.
456
00:17:02,031 --> 00:17:03,548
Well, why would you lie
about that?
457
00:17:03,632 --> 00:17:04,983
Because my pops
would've flipped.
458
00:17:05,067 --> 00:17:06,953
With all the heat
between B-Set and Shotta Boys,
459
00:17:07,038 --> 00:17:08,643
he told me
I couldn't record anymore.
460
00:17:09,155 --> 00:17:11,056
Because you were making
diss tracks.
461
00:17:11,140 --> 00:17:12,858
Like the one you're making
right now.
462
00:17:12,942 --> 00:17:15,194
Said with the crews warring,
it was too dangerous.
463
00:17:15,617 --> 00:17:17,902
When I found out
what he did for me,
464
00:17:18,233 --> 00:17:20,280
I didn't want to disrespect him
on top of it.
465
00:17:21,101 --> 00:17:22,901
After the Shotta Boys
messed me up,
466
00:17:22,985 --> 00:17:24,937
when I woke up
in the hospital,
467
00:17:26,155 --> 00:17:27,741
my pops
was there,
468
00:17:28,290 --> 00:17:29,749
crying.
469
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,866
I ain't never
seen him like that.
470
00:17:35,006 --> 00:17:36,701
He said it was his fault.
471
00:17:37,399 --> 00:17:39,312
He swore to put an end to it.
472
00:17:40,155 --> 00:17:42,460
Two weeks later,
Dre Bids was dead.
473
00:17:43,241 --> 00:17:45,790
My pops is in jail
because I got caught slippin'.
474
00:17:45,874 --> 00:17:47,225
He's in jail because of me.
475
00:17:47,523 --> 00:17:48,727
Did he tell you that?
476
00:17:48,811 --> 00:17:50,128
Nah, but I know.
477
00:17:50,212 --> 00:17:51,229
You sure?
478
00:17:51,313 --> 00:17:53,064
Because gunning down Dre Bids
479
00:17:53,187 --> 00:17:55,867
in front of his own
recording studio... Why?
480
00:17:55,951 --> 00:17:57,903
The whole thing,
it just sounds...
481
00:17:58,229 --> 00:17:59,412
clumsy.
482
00:17:59,921 --> 00:18:02,476
I think your father
is hiding something.
483
00:18:02,656 --> 00:18:04,202
From all of us.
484
00:18:04,869 --> 00:18:08,296
And this Sid Slay has
something to do with it.
485
00:18:10,075 --> 00:18:11,726
I got to get back to it.
486
00:18:11,967 --> 00:18:13,218
Yo, Terry!
487
00:18:13,348 --> 00:18:14,827
Sup?
488
00:18:18,974 --> 00:18:20,570
Hey, Dante. Got something?
489
00:18:20,655 --> 00:18:21,826
You could say that.
490
00:18:21,910 --> 00:18:23,795
I was looking
at witness statements.
491
00:18:23,879 --> 00:18:25,997
The night Dre Bids was shot,
there was a janitor
492
00:18:26,081 --> 00:18:28,499
working at the recording studio
earlier that night.
493
00:18:28,584 --> 00:18:29,797
He witness the shooting?
494
00:18:29,882 --> 00:18:31,155
He left before it happened,
495
00:18:31,265 --> 00:18:33,104
but I just
re-interviewed him.
496
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,241
He says Dilemma wasn't
the only one there that night.
497
00:18:36,325 --> 00:18:37,585
As the janitor was leaving,
498
00:18:37,670 --> 00:18:39,588
someone else was heading
into the studio,
499
00:18:39,768 --> 00:18:41,986
only ten minutes
before Dre Bids' murder.
500
00:18:42,164 --> 00:18:43,281
He recognize 'em?
501
00:18:43,365 --> 00:18:44,921
He ID'd Jacob Styles,
502
00:18:45,130 --> 00:18:46,719
head of Trigger Beat Records.
503
00:18:46,804 --> 00:18:47,796
Label mogul.
504
00:18:47,881 --> 00:18:49,799
Trigger Beat?
That's Dilemma's label.
505
00:18:50,072 --> 00:18:51,389
If Styles was there that night,
506
00:18:51,473 --> 00:18:52,991
how come we're just finding out?
507
00:18:53,075 --> 00:18:55,226
When I leaned on him,
he got nervous, confessed.
508
00:18:55,310 --> 00:18:57,996
Someone paid him 25 Gs
not to mention it.
509
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,621
Now, why would someone do that?
510
00:19:00,916 --> 00:19:02,867
Is risking arrest
and hiding
511
00:19:02,951 --> 00:19:04,702
in the dark like a cockroach
really better
512
00:19:04,787 --> 00:19:06,804
than... patiently telling me
what to do?
513
00:19:06,889 --> 00:19:08,773
Yes.
A hundred times yes.
514
00:19:08,857 --> 00:19:10,749
Just don't let anybody see me.
515
00:19:10,854 --> 00:19:13,414
I feel like a 12-year-old
sneaking a cigarette.
516
00:19:13,499 --> 00:19:15,947
With a life sentence if I'm caught.
517
00:19:16,031 --> 00:19:17,538
Hey, Rob.
518
00:19:17,623 --> 00:19:18,973
Oh. Hey.
519
00:19:19,058 --> 00:19:20,209
Hey.
520
00:19:20,294 --> 00:19:22,746
Hey, were you able to access
Jacob Styles' financial records?
521
00:19:22,888 --> 00:19:24,973
The answer's yes,
in spite of the subpar Wi-Fi
522
00:19:25,174 --> 00:19:25,924
in this gin joint.
523
00:19:26,008 --> 00:19:27,392
People come here to drink,
not to...
524
00:19:28,510 --> 00:19:29,461
Sorry.
525
00:19:29,545 --> 00:19:31,863
That's all right.
So, um, yes,
526
00:19:31,947 --> 00:19:33,832
this guy Styles,
he likes to drop a lot of quiche
527
00:19:33,916 --> 00:19:35,967
in fancy restaurants,
uh, strip joints.
528
00:19:36,051 --> 00:19:38,303
So, nothing unusual
for a record label exec.
529
00:19:38,387 --> 00:19:39,871
What about the 25 K?
530
00:19:39,955 --> 00:19:41,444
Pretty sure
it came from Styles.
531
00:19:41,802 --> 00:19:42,919
He took out that much cash
532
00:19:43,015 --> 00:19:44,204
right before the janitor
got his bribe.
533
00:19:44,288 --> 00:19:45,790
But, listen,
I-I'm onto something else.
534
00:19:45,874 --> 00:19:48,785
Styles has been receiving
regular money transfers
535
00:19:48,870 --> 00:19:51,088
from an account
belonging to Dilemma.
536
00:19:51,173 --> 00:19:52,352
That's not unusual.
537
00:19:52,437 --> 00:19:54,419
Some artists have to pay back
record labels
538
00:19:54,503 --> 00:19:55,954
for advances on their projects.
539
00:19:56,038 --> 00:19:58,189
Yeah, but this is going
to Styles' personal account,
540
00:19:58,273 --> 00:19:59,086
not the label's.
541
00:19:59,171 --> 00:20:00,959
And it began
ten months ago,
542
00:20:01,043 --> 00:20:02,360
right after Dilemma
got locked up.
543
00:20:02,444 --> 00:20:05,263
So, payments to a guy
who was secretly there
544
00:20:05,347 --> 00:20:06,585
at the scene of the murder?
545
00:20:06,670 --> 00:20:08,054
Now, that is unusual.
546
00:20:08,282 --> 00:20:09,834
Right? Um, babe...
547
00:20:09,918 --> 00:20:11,469
...it's getting crowded.
Put your cigarette away.
548
00:20:11,553 --> 00:20:14,150
Hi! Come on in.
549
00:20:14,235 --> 00:20:17,207
Hey, Mike, would you
mind keying me in?
550
00:20:17,292 --> 00:20:19,344
- I left my card upstairs.
- Do I know you?
551
00:20:19,428 --> 00:20:20,745
Yolanda, from Marketing.
552
00:20:20,829 --> 00:20:22,697
Katey introduced us
at my onboarding.
553
00:20:22,924 --> 00:20:25,736
Well, you were kind of
busy with deliveries.
554
00:20:25,846 --> 00:20:28,353
Look, Mr. Styles sent
me on a coffee run.
555
00:20:28,908 --> 00:20:31,949
I'm already ten minutes late,
and you know how he gets.
556
00:20:32,034 --> 00:20:33,352
It's only my second week.
557
00:20:33,436 --> 00:20:34,887
I don't want to get fired.
558
00:20:42,129 --> 00:20:43,146
Yeah?
559
00:20:43,379 --> 00:20:45,453
Yeah. Okay.
560
00:20:48,695 --> 00:20:51,002
Yeah, I know how
Mr. Styles gets.
561
00:20:51,087 --> 00:20:52,971
Especially when you wannabes
try to sneak in
562
00:20:53,056 --> 00:20:55,814
to give him your demos.
Now beat it.
563
00:20:56,699 --> 00:20:59,151
- I'll be back.
- I'll be here.
564
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,246
Hit a wall with Styles.
565
00:21:01,330 --> 00:21:03,299
Looks like I'm gonna
need your badge.
566
00:21:03,401 --> 00:21:04,852
Couldn't charm your way in?
567
00:21:05,014 --> 00:21:06,564
Well, not everybody is
568
00:21:06,649 --> 00:21:07,732
as easy a mark as you are.
569
00:21:15,244 --> 00:21:16,908
Hey, what's happening?
570
00:21:17,620 --> 00:21:19,938
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
571
00:21:20,023 --> 00:21:21,140
But it looks like someone
572
00:21:21,225 --> 00:21:23,100
doesn't want me
looking into this.
573
00:21:25,291 --> 00:21:26,660
Got here as quick as
I could. You okay?
574
00:21:26,744 --> 00:21:29,244
Aside from my bruised ego?
575
00:21:29,328 --> 00:21:30,752
You get a look at the rider?
576
00:21:30,899 --> 00:21:33,384
Black-clad leather. Five-nine.
577
00:21:33,631 --> 00:21:35,127
Nothing distinct.
578
00:21:35,212 --> 00:21:36,752
Right-handed, but
he shot with his left
579
00:21:36,837 --> 00:21:38,955
because of the throttle.
Nine millimeter.
580
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,588
Bike was a modified Ducati 848.
581
00:21:41,673 --> 00:21:43,458
Black stealth finish, no plates.
582
00:21:43,856 --> 00:21:46,416
Next time, try to get
a little more detail, will you?
583
00:21:47,557 --> 00:21:49,525
Question is, who's mad enough
584
00:21:49,610 --> 00:21:51,694
about you poking around
to take a shot at you?
585
00:21:52,025 --> 00:21:53,471
One way to find out.
586
00:21:53,556 --> 00:21:56,338
I'm sorry, I honestly don't know
what you're talking about.
587
00:21:56,423 --> 00:21:58,080
Oh, just like you
have no idea why
588
00:21:58,165 --> 00:21:59,949
someone just shot at me
outside your offices.
589
00:22:00,034 --> 00:22:01,619
What the hell is this
all about?
590
00:22:01,744 --> 00:22:04,636
The murder of
Andre "Dre Bids" Smith.
591
00:22:05,154 --> 00:22:07,205
NYPD's reopening
the investigation,
592
00:22:07,290 --> 00:22:08,520
and for some reason,
we don't seem
593
00:22:08,604 --> 00:22:10,355
to have your statement on file.
594
00:22:10,756 --> 00:22:12,629
Why would you if I wasn't there?
595
00:22:12,836 --> 00:22:16,222
You know, you can lie to me.
It just pisses me off.
596
00:22:16,572 --> 00:22:18,023
You lie to him,
597
00:22:18,239 --> 00:22:20,683
it's obstruction.
That's a crime.
598
00:22:20,768 --> 00:22:22,777
We have a witness placing you
at the scene
599
00:22:22,869 --> 00:22:24,887
- just before the murder.
- We also have evidence
600
00:22:24,972 --> 00:22:27,334
you paid the witness
to keep his mouth shut.
601
00:22:27,419 --> 00:22:29,308
I think I should
call my lawyer.
602
00:22:29,477 --> 00:22:32,363
If you killed Dre Bids,
you definitely should.
603
00:22:32,473 --> 00:22:34,472
Of course, then
I'll have to arrest you
604
00:22:34,557 --> 00:22:35,908
and perp-walk you out of here
605
00:22:35,993 --> 00:22:38,129
in time to be the lead
on the 6:00 news.
606
00:22:39,191 --> 00:22:41,543
Or if you didn't,
you can just tell the truth.
607
00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:46,160
Fine. I was there.
608
00:22:46,498 --> 00:22:48,543
But I had nothing to do
with the shooting.
609
00:22:49,011 --> 00:22:52,519
I went there to try to talk
some sense into Dilemma.
610
00:22:52,986 --> 00:22:55,705
He and Dre Bids were supposed
to record a track that night.
611
00:22:55,789 --> 00:22:59,008
Dre Bids and Dilemma, together?
612
00:22:59,233 --> 00:23:02,144
It was a peace track.
613
00:23:02,505 --> 00:23:04,636
Dilemma told me
he'd had enough.
614
00:23:04,721 --> 00:23:06,739
The beef was messing
with his family.
615
00:23:06,932 --> 00:23:09,183
He and Dre Bids had come
to a truce.
616
00:23:09,268 --> 00:23:11,420
But he wasn't thinking right.
617
00:23:11,860 --> 00:23:14,543
They had just jumped his kid.
618
00:23:14,676 --> 00:23:16,332
I didn't want him
to do anything rash.
619
00:23:16,417 --> 00:23:18,144
Wait, you tried to
talk him out of it?
620
00:23:19,674 --> 00:23:20,992
Like it or not,
621
00:23:21,077 --> 00:23:22,355
violence sells.
622
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,785
He was making a fortune.
623
00:23:23,901 --> 00:23:25,066
We all were.
624
00:23:25,151 --> 00:23:26,702
It was career suicide.
625
00:23:26,989 --> 00:23:29,027
And why let some senseless
killings here and there
626
00:23:29,112 --> 00:23:30,801
stop you from making a buck?
627
00:23:32,446 --> 00:23:34,030
What happened that night?
628
00:23:34,115 --> 00:23:37,004
Like I said,
I was talking to Dilemma.
629
00:23:37,089 --> 00:23:38,777
Then shots rang out.
630
00:23:38,862 --> 00:23:40,446
You were with Dilemma
when it happened?
631
00:23:40,742 --> 00:23:41,959
Upstairs in the studio.
632
00:23:42,044 --> 00:23:43,356
He ran down to see
what was happening...
633
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,363
And you? You got the hell
out of there, didn't you?
634
00:23:46,616 --> 00:23:48,363
Couldn't afford to have
your image sullied,
635
00:23:48,448 --> 00:23:50,043
so you paid to keep
your name out of it.
636
00:23:50,235 --> 00:23:52,722
You knew Dilemma
was innocent,
637
00:23:52,807 --> 00:23:54,472
and you still let him
go down for it?
638
00:23:54,557 --> 00:23:55,847
He insisted.
639
00:23:55,932 --> 00:23:58,052
Why would he take the fall
for something he didn't do?
640
00:23:58,165 --> 00:24:00,511
I asked. He said
it was none of my concern.
641
00:24:00,596 --> 00:24:03,410
And he's been paying you to keep
your mouth shut ever since.
642
00:24:03,502 --> 00:24:05,519
That's business.
643
00:24:05,643 --> 00:24:08,429
Do you know how much
him going away cost me?
644
00:24:08,514 --> 00:24:09,831
Tell me about this peace track.
645
00:24:09,998 --> 00:24:13,005
I think Dre Bids might've
laid down a few verses
646
00:24:13,098 --> 00:24:13,683
the night before.
647
00:24:13,768 --> 00:24:15,842
I'm gonna need that master.
648
00:24:28,704 --> 00:24:31,057
If Dilemma didn't fire
those shots, who did?
649
00:24:31,370 --> 00:24:33,291
Cops ran ballistics
on the gun, right?
650
00:24:33,376 --> 00:24:34,486
Did they run DNA?
651
00:24:34,601 --> 00:24:36,491
They didn't need to.
He confessed.
652
00:24:36,576 --> 00:24:38,494
And it's too late
to do it now.
653
00:24:38,579 --> 00:24:40,194
During the rains
last year,
654
00:24:40,279 --> 00:24:43,132
the facility where the case
evidence was stored flooded.
655
00:24:43,216 --> 00:24:45,467
Some material was lost,
some destroyed.
656
00:24:45,551 --> 00:24:47,403
This just keeps getting better
and better.
657
00:24:51,042 --> 00:24:52,493
Hey.
658
00:24:52,578 --> 00:24:54,008
Tell me
you're making some progress
659
00:24:54,093 --> 00:24:55,144
on that SoundCloud track.
660
00:24:55,228 --> 00:24:56,549
Well, technically, I didn't,
661
00:24:56,641 --> 00:24:58,212
'cause it would've required,
you know,
662
00:24:58,297 --> 00:24:59,541
borrowing
some NSA software,
663
00:24:59,626 --> 00:25:01,256
which didn't really seem
like the best idea right now.
664
00:25:01,340 --> 00:25:03,758
So I outsourced it
to a hacker pal of mine.
665
00:25:03,936 --> 00:25:05,354
She pulled apart the audio
and found this
666
00:25:05,438 --> 00:25:07,156
- under one of the tracks.
- This is an announcement
667
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,324
to students to show
your Bulldog pride
668
00:25:09,408 --> 00:25:10,275
for spirit week.
669
00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:12,011
Spirit week?
Like high school.
670
00:25:12,096 --> 00:25:14,361
Yep, and there are
only two high schools
671
00:25:14,446 --> 00:25:16,332
in the New York area
with bulldogs as their mascots.
672
00:25:16,416 --> 00:25:18,167
And only one has
a music lab.
673
00:25:18,251 --> 00:25:20,814
Uh, Washington-Hamilton High
in Queens.
674
00:25:20,899 --> 00:25:23,017
That's kind of a rough school.
675
00:25:23,204 --> 00:25:26,157
I could see B-Set and
Shotta Boys crew going there.
676
00:25:26,242 --> 00:25:28,827
Well, I checked the sign-in
records, and a student named...
677
00:25:28,912 --> 00:25:30,463
Excuse me.
678
00:25:33,135 --> 00:25:35,379
A student named
Sidney Rodgers
679
00:25:35,464 --> 00:25:36,393
had been there repeatedly.
680
00:25:36,478 --> 00:25:38,630

About a month ago,
700
00:26:16,862 --> 00:26:18,746
I was in Washington Square Park.
701
00:26:18,831 --> 00:26:20,049
Crews meet there to battle,
702
00:26:20,147 --> 00:26:21,631
and newbies try to make a name.
703
00:26:21,716 --> 00:26:23,033
That's why you were there?
704
00:26:23,118 --> 00:26:24,169
I tried to spit,
705
00:26:24,254 --> 00:26:25,872
but they weren't
trying to hear me.
706
00:26:26,218 --> 00:26:28,057
Later, the cops
rolled through.
707
00:26:28,142 --> 00:26:29,385
When everybody bounced,
708
00:26:29,655 --> 00:26:31,106
someone left a notebook.
709
00:26:31,190 --> 00:26:33,166
The rhymes were
dope as hell.
710
00:26:33,251 --> 00:26:35,636
So I laid it down
over a track I made
711
00:26:35,721 --> 00:26:37,038
and dropped it on SoundCloud.
712
00:26:37,396 --> 00:26:39,268
And you disguised your voice?
713
00:26:39,353 --> 00:26:41,461
Ain't no one gonna
take me serious as a girl.
714
00:26:42,244 --> 00:26:43,829
Female rappers these days,
715
00:26:43,914 --> 00:26:45,365
they lean into
their sexuality.
716
00:26:45,605 --> 00:26:47,791
It's all anacondas
717
00:26:47,876 --> 00:26:49,027
and peaches.
718
00:26:49,242 --> 00:26:51,150
It's empowering,
but not my thing.
719
00:26:51,235 --> 00:26:52,252
I'm more...
720
00:26:52,352 --> 00:26:53,702
Lauryn Hill.
721
00:26:53,809 --> 00:26:55,694
- MC Lyte.
- Exactly.
722
00:26:55,779 --> 00:26:57,130
But I need to stand out.
723
00:26:57,346 --> 00:27:00,732
I figured maybe I can get
some traction by being hard,
724
00:27:00,817 --> 00:27:02,034
like the guys.
725
00:27:02,125 --> 00:27:03,843
Sid, the best rappers
726
00:27:04,123 --> 00:27:06,603
are the ones who aren't trying
to be anyone but themselves.
727
00:27:07,343 --> 00:27:08,560
But I tried that.
728
00:27:08,645 --> 00:27:09,829
No one was interested.
729
00:27:09,914 --> 00:27:11,416
So, keep practicing.
730
00:27:11,501 --> 00:27:12,852
You got skills.
731
00:27:12,937 --> 00:27:14,788
But you got to be authentic.
732
00:27:14,873 --> 00:27:17,181
Only you know
what that means for you.
733
00:27:19,438 --> 00:27:21,127
You still got that notebook?
734
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,521
There wasn't a name in it.
735
00:27:30,935 --> 00:27:33,043
I checked.
736
00:27:35,332 --> 00:27:37,373
No need for a name.
737
00:27:38,444 --> 00:27:40,939
I know exactly
whose book this is.
738
00:27:47,055 --> 00:27:48,572
It's your notebook,
Nasir.
739
00:27:48,977 --> 00:27:51,377
I recognized the drawing
from your other sketchbook.
740
00:27:56,347 --> 00:27:58,111
You wrote those rhymes?
741
00:28:00,273 --> 00:28:02,018
Nas, baby, why?
742
00:28:03,482 --> 00:28:05,572
Because he was there
that night.
743
00:28:05,995 --> 00:28:07,955
It was you your dad was
covering up for.
744
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,758
No. He was home.
745
00:28:11,245 --> 00:28:13,854
No, Ma. I wasn't.
746
00:28:15,208 --> 00:28:16,963
Baby, what are you saying?
747
00:28:17,048 --> 00:28:18,655
You were here.
748
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,085
I was. But...
749
00:28:21,333 --> 00:28:22,783
when you left
to get your braids,
750
00:28:22,868 --> 00:28:24,376
I heard Dad's phone go off.
751
00:28:24,828 --> 00:28:27,770
He must've left it in a
rush to get to the studio.
752
00:28:28,089 --> 00:28:29,507
It was a text
753
00:28:29,592 --> 00:28:32,110
saying that the studio session
was a setup.
754
00:28:32,334 --> 00:28:34,786
Dre Bids was strapped
and coming for him.
755
00:28:34,871 --> 00:28:36,545
Who sent the text?
756
00:28:37,066 --> 00:28:38,683
I don't know.
757
00:28:38,822 --> 00:28:42,541
But I couldn't reach Dad,
and Daoud wasn't picking up.
758
00:28:42,626 --> 00:28:43,976
So...
759
00:28:44,061 --> 00:28:46,403
I grabbed Dad's gun.
760
00:28:46,992 --> 00:28:49,603
I only brought it to the studio
so he could protect himself.
761
00:28:49,963 --> 00:28:51,414
When I got there,
762
00:28:51,578 --> 00:28:54,666
I saw Dre Bids pulling a piece
from his trunk.
763
00:28:55,334 --> 00:28:57,096
He saw me, and...
764
00:28:57,603 --> 00:29:01,322
and I didn't mean to, but I got
scared and he...
765
00:29:03,201 --> 00:29:04,252
So I shot him.
766
00:29:06,063 --> 00:29:07,424
Twice.
767
00:29:07,790 --> 00:29:09,752
Next thing I know,
Dad grabbed the gun,
768
00:29:09,837 --> 00:29:12,088
wiped it down and pushed me
into his car.
769
00:29:12,557 --> 00:29:15,549
Said it was his fault for
beefing, but...
770
00:29:15,788 --> 00:29:17,518
...it wasn't Dad's fault.
771
00:29:18,412 --> 00:29:19,650
I'm the one who killed him.
772
00:29:19,735 --> 00:29:21,410
No. Oh, baby.
773
00:29:24,740 --> 00:29:26,432
Nasir...
774
00:29:26,978 --> 00:29:28,877
you said
you shot him twice.
775
00:29:28,968 --> 00:29:30,275
Are you sure?
776
00:29:30,590 --> 00:29:32,942
I've replayed the details
in my head for a year.
777
00:29:33,049 --> 00:29:34,213
Why?
778
00:29:34,506 --> 00:29:35,939
Because the coroner's report
779
00:29:36,024 --> 00:29:38,099
said that there were
three shots.
780
00:29:38,525 --> 00:29:40,744
Two shots were from a distance.
781
00:29:40,905 --> 00:29:42,556
They weren't fatal.
782
00:29:42,781 --> 00:29:45,807
A third shot
was from close range.
783
00:29:46,064 --> 00:29:47,115
To the heart.
784
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,260
What are you saying?
785
00:29:49,491 --> 00:29:52,783
I don't think Nasir fired
the shot that killed Dre Bids.
786
00:29:54,278 --> 00:29:55,195
You still have
787
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,421
your husband's cell?
788
00:30:01,539 --> 00:30:02,908
A year-old text?
789
00:30:02,993 --> 00:30:05,096
No one in Dilemma's circle
recognized the number
790
00:30:05,181 --> 00:30:06,331
that sent that warning.
791
00:30:06,416 --> 00:30:07,533
Can you trace it?
792
00:30:07,618 --> 00:30:09,643
With my current lack
of resources,
793
00:30:09,728 --> 00:30:12,213
I don't know.
Didn't Brawlah say.
794
00:30:12,298 --> 00:30:14,167
Dre Bids was worried
something might be going down
795
00:30:14,251 --> 00:30:15,468
at the studio that night?
796
00:30:15,553 --> 00:30:17,695
You think Dre Bids got
a warning text, too?
797
00:30:17,780 --> 00:30:21,367
Well, someone was trying
to stir up trouble.
798
00:30:21,554 --> 00:30:25,314
Probably that same someone who
sent that hitter at me today.
799
00:30:25,897 --> 00:30:27,148
I need you to find out who.
800
00:30:27,388 --> 00:30:28,572
It was a year ago.
801
00:30:28,769 --> 00:30:30,010
Uh, but I'll give it
a shot.
802
00:30:30,095 --> 00:30:31,846
It may take a minute though.
803
00:30:31,931 --> 00:30:33,683
I'm gonna need some privacy.

Nah, she's mad cool.
832
00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:37,509
And the free pizza?
It was worth the questions.
833
00:31:41,775 --> 00:31:43,421
Hey, what's in your head?
834
00:31:44,853 --> 00:31:46,633
I'm just thinking
about this whole
835
00:31:46,718 --> 00:31:47,802

836
00:31:47,978 --> 00:31:49,629
Okay.
837
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:50,992
What about it?
838
00:31:51,077 --> 00:31:52,261
For real?
839
00:31:52,419 --> 00:31:54,576
I actually think
going is really important.
840
00:31:54,660 --> 00:31:58,002
A'ight. I mean, you should go
if that's what you want.
841
00:31:58,696 --> 00:31:59,847
But...
842

I don't know, I just...
843
00:32:01,935 --> 00:32:03,769
I wonder if you're frontin'
like you don't want to go
844
00:32:03,853 --> 00:32:04,903
because you don't believe
you can.
845
00:32:04,987 --> 00:32:06,087
Yo, what?
846
00:32:06,495 --> 00:32:08,332
First off, I don't front.
847
00:32:08,417 --> 00:32:10,153
But you're a straight A student.
848

doesn't mean that I do.

Info on that warning text.

Why do you sound

Don't ask. Listen,
861
00:32:35,541 --> 00:32:37,359
the texts came
from a burner phone, okay?
862
00:32:37,498 --> 00:32:38,616
It was only active for a month,
863
00:32:38,700 --> 00:32:39,879
but I was able to pull
the records.
864
00:32:39,963 --> 00:32:43,464
And, look, a similar text
was sent to Dre Bids that night.
865
00:32:43,706 --> 00:32:46,698
Someone was playing these two
against each other.
866
00:32:46,837 --> 00:32:48,321
And because it was
a burner phone,
867
00:32:48,406 --> 00:32:50,476
we have no way of finding out
who sent the texts.
868
00:32:50,578 --> 00:32:52,496
Normally, yeah.
But the same phone was used
869
00:32:52,580 --> 00:32:53,998
to text and call
a slew of others.
870
00:32:54,082 --> 00:32:55,266
All young women...
A couple connected
871
00:32:55,350 --> 00:32:56,500
to Dre Bids' crew.
872
00:32:56,584 --> 00:32:57,807
A side piece burner.
873
00:32:57,892 --> 00:32:58,676
Oh, yeah.
874
00:32:58,761 --> 00:33:00,737
But there was one woman
who was, uh,
875
00:33:00,822 --> 00:33:02,506
a little different
from the others.
876
00:33:02,590 --> 00:33:04,275
A Mrs. Gladys Marshall.
877
00:33:04,359 --> 00:33:05,509
Marshall?
878
00:33:05,593 --> 00:33:09,113
As in
Cordell "Brawlah" Marshall?
879
00:33:09,197 --> 00:33:12,249
Uh-huh. The genius used a burner
to call his mom.
880
00:33:12,333 --> 00:33:14,051
I mean, there's definitely
something Freudian
881
00:33:14,135 --> 00:33:14,785
about all this.
882
00:33:15,206 --> 00:33:17,531
So if Brawlah sent those texts,
883
00:33:17,772 --> 00:33:19,123
then he must've known
884
00:33:19,207 --> 00:33:22,049
that Dilemma and Dre Bids
were gonna meet.
885
00:33:22,134 --> 00:33:24,401
He knew about the truce.
886
00:33:25,246 --> 00:33:27,284

I ain't got time
for your BS podcast today.
896
00:33:47,135 --> 00:33:48,956
I'm not here
for no damn podcast.
897
00:33:49,041 --> 00:33:50,225
But I guess
you know that,
898
00:33:50,371 --> 00:33:52,089
since you sent
your little motorcycle guy
899
00:33:52,173 --> 00:33:53,090
to gun me down.
900
00:33:54,642 --> 00:33:56,627
Lady, you trippin'.
901
00:33:56,711 --> 00:33:59,063
You can drop the act.
902
00:33:59,147 --> 00:34:01,365
I know you sent texts
to Dilemma and Dre Bids
903
00:34:01,449 --> 00:34:02,533
the night of the murder,
904
00:34:02,617 --> 00:34:04,201
setting them
against each other.
905
00:34:04,285 --> 00:34:05,502
And why would I do that?
906
00:34:05,586 --> 00:34:07,671
Peace is a problem
if your brand is beef.
907
00:34:07,755 --> 00:34:10,341
It would've been the
end of your career.
908
00:34:10,425 --> 00:34:11,642
You wanted gunfire that night.
909
00:34:11,726 --> 00:34:13,277
You needed to keep it going.
910
00:34:13,361 --> 00:34:16,513
But when you saw Dre Bids
on the ground, wounded,
911
00:34:16,597 --> 00:34:17,748
you got scared.
912
00:34:17,832 --> 00:34:19,650
I mean, if he survived,
913
00:34:19,734 --> 00:34:21,585
he might ask questions.
914
00:34:21,669 --> 00:34:23,577
But if he died...
915
00:34:24,105 --> 00:34:26,620
...then look who inherits
his kingdom.
916
00:34:27,308 --> 00:34:30,361
Everybody knows
that Dilemma killed Dre Bids.
917
00:34:30,445 --> 00:34:31,462
He confessed.
918
00:34:31,546 --> 00:34:33,364
True.
919
00:34:33,448 --> 00:34:36,066
But, thanks to me,
920
00:34:36,150 --> 00:34:39,126
the gun just got retested
for DNA.
921
00:34:39,486 --> 00:34:41,738
And it came back
with three matches.
922
00:34:41,823 --> 00:34:43,607
One was Dilemma's.
923
00:34:43,691 --> 00:34:45,532
One was his
son's. And...
924
00:34:47,106 --> 00:34:51,143
...I'm sure if they were
to run saliva on this blunt...
925
00:34:52,163 --> 00:34:54,807
...the third
would match yours.
926
00:35:00,529 --> 00:35:01,768
I guess I was right.
927
00:35:01,876 --> 00:35:03,984
Doesn't matter if you dead.
928
00:35:04,862 --> 00:35:06,363
One of 'em had to go.
929
00:35:06,454 --> 00:35:08,846
Even if you had to shoot
Dre Bids yourself.
930
00:35:08,931 --> 00:35:10,334
Damn straight.
931
00:35:10,418 --> 00:35:12,940
I'm supposed to fall off
'cause they went soft?
932
00:35:13,338 --> 00:35:14,588
Give up what's mine?
933
00:35:14,782 --> 00:35:16,333
I worked too hard for this, yo.
934
00:35:16,418 --> 00:35:18,174
Ain't nobody taking it away.
935
00:35:18,310 --> 00:35:19,894
Not Dre Bids.
936
00:35:19,979 --> 00:35:21,096
Not Dilemma.
937
00:35:21,462 --> 00:35:23,036
And not you.
938
00:35:23,177 --> 00:35:25,218
That's where
you wrong.
939
00:35:27,103 --> 00:35:29,211
Because I'm here
to end you.
940
00:35:35,540 --> 00:35:37,691
Daoud, don't. I got this.
941
00:35:37,776 --> 00:35:39,330
- The hell you do.
- Put the gun down.
942
00:35:39,415 --> 00:35:41,033
Nah, Nasir told me everything.
943
00:35:41,139 --> 00:35:43,681
How he shot Dre Bids twice
but there was a third bullet.
944
00:35:43,947 --> 00:35:45,502
You were first
on the scene.
945
00:35:45,587 --> 00:35:46,768
The witness.
946
00:35:46,970 --> 00:35:48,703
I was gonna ask this fool
what he saw,
947
00:35:48,788 --> 00:35:50,546
but guess I don't need to
anymore.
948
00:35:50,655 --> 00:35:51,486
Daoud, please.
949
00:35:51,571 --> 00:35:53,989
Yo, you been sweatin'
me and my pops for years.
950
00:35:54,377 --> 00:35:57,019
Now you got my little brother
wrapped up in this mess?
951
00:35:57,476 --> 00:35:58,860
Nah, this ends right now.
952
00:35:59,139 --> 00:36:01,591
You ain't about that life.
953
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,218
Daoud, listen.
954
00:36:03,302 --> 00:36:04,698
Do you think this is
what your dad would want?
955
00:36:04,782 --> 00:36:05,946
I ain't trying to hear all that!
956
00:36:06,030 --> 00:36:08,228
He was willing
to spend 25 years in prison
957
00:36:08,407 --> 00:36:10,225
to keep your brother
from this life.
958
00:36:10,309 --> 00:36:12,267
Doesn't that mean
something to you?
959
00:36:12,367 --> 00:36:14,795
You think he would
go through all that
960
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,831
just for you
to switch places with him?
961
00:36:16,915 --> 00:36:18,700
Someone's got to pay a price.
962
00:36:18,978 --> 00:36:21,852
Yeah, but not you.
963
00:36:29,257 --> 00:36:31,209
He's ruined
enough lives.
964
00:36:31,294 --> 00:36:33,368
You want him to ruin yours, too?
965
00:36:43,394 --> 00:36:44,834
You ain't got nothing.
966
00:36:44,919 --> 00:36:46,369
When my lawyer's done,
967
00:36:46,454 --> 00:36:48,438
that DNA won't mean jack.
968
00:36:48,523 --> 00:36:50,241
Yeah, but your
confession will.
969
00:36:50,420 --> 00:36:51,978
Your mic's still open.
970
00:36:52,113 --> 00:36:54,635
I got a feeling that's the last
track you're gonna be recording
971
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:56,761
for a while.
972
00:37:02,319 --> 00:37:04,026
So...
973
00:37:04,796 --> 00:37:06,155
...what are we watching?
974
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:09,159
Action? Comedy?
Psychological thriller?
975
00:37:09,594 --> 00:37:11,201
It doesn't matter.
976
00:37:12,808 --> 00:37:14,845
You sure you don't want
to talk about it?
977
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,825
No. It's nothing, Aunt Vi.
Really.
978
00:37:22,378 --> 00:37:24,029
Go on.
979
00:37:24,114 --> 00:37:26,022
Take it.
980
00:37:35,267 --> 00:37:37,785
All the drama in this house,
who needs a movie?
981
00:37:37,870 --> 00:37:39,455
Hey. What's good?
982
00:37:39,562 --> 00:37:41,446
- Not much.
- Uh...
983
00:37:41,606 --> 00:37:43,691
- Look, about earlier...
- I just wanted to see if...
984
00:37:43,885 --> 00:37:45,570
Sorry, you go.
985
00:37:45,670 --> 00:37:46,728
I just wanted to see
986
00:37:46,813 --> 00:37:48,339
if you was down to catch
the new Jordan Peele movie
987
00:37:48,423 --> 00:37:49,759
next weekend.
988
00:37:51,027 --> 00:37:52,744
Uh... yeah.
989
00:37:52,944 --> 00:37:54,896
Yeah, sure.
That-That'd be great.
990
00:37:55,345 --> 00:37:57,095
Well, I mean, we don't have to.
991
00:37:57,180 --> 00:37:59,933
No, no. I-I just...
992
00:38:00,341 --> 00:38:02,181
You know, honestly,
I thought we were done.
993
00:38:02,288 --> 00:38:03,505
Yeah, look,
994
00:38:03,590 --> 00:38:05,375
I'm sorry for tripping
like that yesterday.
995
00:38:05,636 --> 00:38:07,252
Uh, I was just...
996
00:38:08,468 --> 00:38:11,210
Look, I respect
that college matters to you.
997
00:38:11,627 --> 00:38:14,849
I'm just hoping you can respect
that it's not for me.
998
00:38:15,071 --> 00:38:17,584
I'm not mad at you, though,
for pushing back.
999
00:38:18,017 --> 00:38:19,463
Well, good,
1000
00:38:19,548 --> 00:38:21,933
'cause I do that.
1001
00:38:22,018 --> 00:38:23,546
It's kind of who I am.
1002
00:38:24,980 --> 00:38:26,931
That's what I like about you,
Dee.
1003
00:38:27,145 --> 00:38:29,464
Most girls,
they wouldn't even care.
1004
00:38:29,642 --> 00:38:31,833
Okay, and it helps
that you fine, too.
1005
00:38:31,917 --> 00:38:33,667
Stop.
1006
00:38:33,752 --> 00:38:34,767
Okay, I got to go.
1007
00:38:34,852 --> 00:38:35,871
All right,
I'm-a talk to you later.
1008
00:38:35,955 --> 00:38:37,589
Okay. Bye.
1009
00:38:39,157 --> 00:38:40,908
Yes!
1010
00:38:41,159 --> 00:38:43,979
Beefing on records,
I provided for my family.
1011
00:38:44,439 --> 00:38:47,198
I never imagined
the damage it could cause.
1012
00:38:47,947 --> 00:38:51,003
My son has a price to pay,
and that's on me.
1013
00:38:51,792 --> 00:38:53,956
But us getting to this truth,
1014
00:38:54,221 --> 00:38:57,760
us being free
from all of this...
1015
00:38:58,790 --> 00:39:01,221
...we owe that to you.
1016
00:39:02,981 --> 00:39:04,498
Well,
1017
00:39:05,083 --> 00:39:08,175
your family can
come back from this.
1018
00:39:08,260 --> 00:39:09,464
Stronger,
1019
00:39:09,564 --> 00:39:11,104
with a
fresh start.
1020
00:39:12,108 --> 00:39:14,783
You got some work to do
in the community, though.
1021
00:39:15,153 --> 00:39:17,112
To repair what you helped break.
1022
00:39:17,197 --> 00:39:20,449
But the good thing is Daoud
is already doing his part.
1023
00:39:20,534 --> 00:39:21,901
What do you mean?
1024
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,667
He's in the studio right now,
1025
00:39:24,509 --> 00:39:27,925

Well, the truth is, this track
would still be locked away
1039
00:40:03,617 --> 00:40:05,525
if it wasn't for your help.
1040
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,612
I know it wasn't easy.
1041
00:40:07,697 --> 00:40:08,698
Our pleasure.
1042
00:40:08,783 --> 00:40:10,164
- It was a nightmare.
- It's a nightmare.
1043
00:40:10,248 --> 00:40:11,583
Don't ever ask us
to do that again.
1044
00:40:14,190 --> 00:40:17,438
Look, I know
not being able to be seen
1045
00:40:17,522 --> 00:40:19,456
using a computer is not ideal.
1046
00:40:19,541 --> 00:40:20,892
- It's more like impossible.
- Untenable.
1047
00:40:20,976 --> 00:40:22,871
- It's harrowing.
- Bad for our relationship.
1048
00:40:22,956 --> 00:40:23,924
Still,
1049
00:40:24,009 --> 00:40:26,427
it was really nice to be
back in the saddle again.
1050
00:40:26,512 --> 00:40:28,564
What you need is your own spot.
1051
00:40:28,649 --> 00:40:30,150
Away from prying eyes.
1052
00:40:30,235 --> 00:40:32,120
Yeah. Because the city
is full of those.
1053
00:40:32,315 --> 00:40:35,901
I may have managed to find
a place you can use.
1054
00:40:36,166 --> 00:40:38,010
Seriously? Are you...
1055
00:40:38,245 --> 00:40:41,031
are you taunting me?
Because d-don't taunt me.
1056
00:40:41,337 --> 00:40:43,057
I'm not taunting.
1057
00:40:43,227 --> 00:40:46,937
It's an area
of condemned subway tunnel.
1058
00:40:48,464 --> 00:40:49,853
Right below the bar.
1059
00:40:52,057 --> 00:40:54,208
Subway rattling in distance...
1060
00:40:54,307 --> 00:40:55,932
No.
1061
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,498
How did you pull it off?
1062
00:40:59,746 --> 00:41:01,697
Me? Oh, no.
1063
00:41:01,991 --> 00:41:03,976
I had nothing to do with it.
1064
00:41:04,068 --> 00:41:06,143
Because this space
no longer exists.
1065
00:41:06,235 --> 00:41:07,338
All evidence of it
1066
00:41:07,423 --> 00:41:09,856
has been erased
from city records in a way that
1067
00:41:09,941 --> 00:41:12,525
cannot and will not
ever be traced back to me.
1068
00:41:12,852 --> 00:41:14,463
And no one else knows
about it, either...
1069
00:41:14,548 --> 00:41:15,832
Not the Feds or the military.
1070
00:41:16,029 --> 00:41:17,580
To their knowledge, this whole place
1071
00:41:17,665 --> 00:41:18,846
has been sealed off
for good.
1072
00:41:18,931 --> 00:41:20,707
Okay, well, what about
his digital footprint?
1073
00:41:20,792 --> 00:41:21,943
- If anyone tracks him...
- No.
1074
00:41:22,027 --> 00:41:24,435
We're gonna have
to replace a few things.
1075
00:41:25,656 --> 00:41:27,574
Leech a different
electric source.
1076
00:41:27,659 --> 00:41:30,978
Reroute a network junction box.
1077
00:41:31,150 --> 00:41:32,980
And no-no more stupid risks.
1078
00:41:33,064 --> 00:41:35,516
Right? If we can do all that,
1079
00:41:35,768 --> 00:41:37,416
we could be completely invisible.
1080
00:41:37,594 --> 00:41:39,745
The only difference is, now,
1081
00:41:40,082 --> 00:41:41,846
you can leave.
1082
00:41:45,018 --> 00:41:47,268
So, what do you think?
1083
00:41:51,898 --> 00:41:54,440
I think I got my life back.
