All language subtitles for Shots Fired s01e08 Hour Eight Rock Bottom.eng

Previously on "Shots Fired"...

It's possible that all I've accomplished

will be overshadowed by the
deaths of these two young men.

- (groans)
- (gunshots)

Beck was having a bad day,
it doesn't make him a murderer.

- It makes him a liar.
- I heard this was your last week.

- Going out with a bang?
- Might as well.

I'll follow when you are
capable of leading.

Kerry!

I just spoke to Kiana. Where...?

ASHE: There's a young woman in surgery

- fighting for her life.
- It's nothing to do with me.

Why am I not surprised to see
you here, Brother Terry?

She's being charged with
the murder of Joey Campbell.

- (moaning)
- You recorded us?

- Drop this custody suit.
- You're unfit to be a mother.

Assaulting an officer, resisting arrest?

It won't get you your daughter back.

(beeping)

-
Than I thought I could

(footstep)

(gasps)

(yelps)

(coughs)

(pants)

(door opening)

PRESTON: Ashe!

We got to get you checked out.

I'm good.

They beat your ass worse.

- Way, way worse.
- (chuckles)

Whoever "they" are.

Nothing seems to be missing, though.

Looks like you got here just after them.

He was after Jesse's phone
and the video on it.

Why do you think that?

We just told Platt about it.
Too coincidental.

Yeah, but we have files on the Tours.

Notes, witness statements.

Maybe they were after
the safe house address.

Whatever he was after,
he was a professional.

Both our cases blew up tonight.

We got to hit them hard.

We have five days.

(keypad beeping)

(indistinct chatter)

Any, any of y'all seen Shawn?

- No, ma'am.
- What, he ran off?

Yeah, we got into it.

He'll turn up.

You see him, you let me know, all right?

I'm over there in 308, on
the other side of the mailbox.

I know, Miss Campbell.

I'm gonna check the church.

Oh, my God, you don't know.

Know what?

Cops came and arrested
Pastor Janae last night.

They're saying she's the one
who killed your Joey.

REPORTER: You might remember,
Pastor Janae first came

to prominence after bringing
together the mothers

of Jesse Carr and Joey Campbell.

She also called for more scrutiny

on the Gate Station County
Sheriff's Office

and following a dramatic arrest
last night

and the discovery of a gun,
everybody out there is shocked.

Mr. Terry, are you responsible
for Pastor Janae's arrest, sir?

Do you have any comment, sir?

How'd you know the gun
was in the church?

Anonymous tip.

You trace it?

Serial number's been filed down.

Ballistics?

Yeah, it's the gun
that killed Joey Campbell.

Take the shackles off.

It's policy.

My interview, my rules.

(door closes)

How are you?

I spent my night counting
civil rights violations.

- How about you?
- Been better.

The gun found in your office
was the same gun

used to kill Joey Campbell.

This is so Gate Station...
that ain't my gun.

How do you explain it being there?

What motive could I possibly
have for killing him?

You didn't want drug dealers
in the Houses.

- Maybe he didn't listen.
- No.

We had a break-in a few nights ago.

They stole a computer and some speakers.

- Maybe that's when the gun was planted.
- ASHE: Did you report it?

We'd be reporting it to the
people who put it there.

ASHE: Why would they put
the body on you,

and not some petty lowlife?
That'd be easier.

Do you know the origin
of policing in the South?

Slave patrols.

White men given the authority

to question, search, and harass us.

Sound familiar?

Policing in the U.S. wasn't
created to protect and serve.

It was created to control us.

They are trying to control me.

As protected as you think
you are, folks are talking.

Witnesses heard you threaten
Joey Campbell.

His mama didn't have no problem
with me getting in his face

when he was messing up.

Did she know you and The Hands
got physical with him?

Do not answer that, Pastor.

SARAH: I'm having a hard time

reconciling the woman we met
is capable of murder.

Yeah.

People rarely show you
who they really are.

But I'm not gonna rush to judgment.

Let's hold a beat before
putting out a statement.

- The press will ask you about it today.
- I want you to keep them at bay.

I don't want anything
clouding this event.

We are badly in need of a win.

I spoke with both men this morning.

They're excited. And very grateful.

You have the speech?

You're confident about
the timing of this?

They brought Gate Station
together 50 years ago.

And I think that they can help
do it again, ma'am.

(knocking)

- Hey, Shameeka.
- Hey.

Sorry to bother you. We just
need to ask you a few questions.

I heard they arrested her.

She say she did it?

No.

How would you describe
her relationship with Joey?

What'd Pastor say?

We want to hear from you.

I found out Joey was selling weed.

Told me he was doing it to help
me out, and I nearly lost it.

Pastor... stepped in.

Stepped in how?

She told him she'd help him get
into NC State

if he stopped hustling.

Took him on a tour of the campus
and everything.

He came home all excited about it.

Jesse Carr went to NC State.

- Any chance they knew each other?
- I don't know, I don't think so.

If Pastor Janae was such
a positive influence,

why are you not surprised
she was arrested?

I heard Joey was selling again.

I asked Pastor to take care of it.

"Take care of it"?

Look, I didn't know what else to do.

He came home all roughed up, and...

And I didn't ask no questions.

So if it's true,

if Pastor Janae had something
to do with my baby's death,

then it's my fault, too.

We're supposed to protect them,
no matter what.

- And here I am, two boys gone.
- Where's Shawn?

Ran away last night.

- Like he punishing me.
- For what?

Losing Joey.

- We've got to keep an eye out for Shawn.
- No doubt.

- They're setting her up.
- Why?

They're trying to assassinate
the sister.

You one of them or one of us?

I don't trust them
and I don't trust you.

Better stay woke.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Which one of those boys don't
like cheese in their grits?

Mmm... Christian.

I haven't had the energy
to make them anything

but cold cereal the past couple weeks.

- Oh, they'll survive.
- (chuckles)

So...

you ready to talk now?

Nothing to talk about.

We had a fight.

- I needed space.
- "Space"?

You need space, you put
his butt on the couch.

You don't walk out.

31 years, your daddy and I,

we never went to sleep on a fight.

Now, that don't mean there
weren't a whole lot of nights

that turned into morning.

Mama, he's different.

Oh, baby, what do you expect?
Of course he's different.

He's a grown man who can't go to
work, can't go out in public...

You think this has been easy on me?

No, but this is not about you right now.

The world is talking about your man
like they know his heart.

And now he's wondering
if he lost his family.

For better or for worse.
This right here's the worse.

We've never talked about it.

Talked about what?

What actually happened... the shooting.

You asking him is the same

as accusing him of murdering that man.

Kerry, you know his heart.

Do you think Josh is capable
of something like this?

- No.
- Then never ask him.

PRESTON: Used to be a Gate Station
deputy parked out front.

What happened?

I didn't need him anymore.

That your decision or theirs?

What difference does that make?

I just want to make sure
they're still being supportive.

They ain't your family,
Josh, never were.

Is there a point here?

Why are you protecting them?

We know you know about the Tours.

We believe you know what happened
that night Joey was killed.

- What are the Tours?
- I don't.

Someone broke into our
work space, sucker-punched me,

and I'm still mad about it.

They were after a video
we recovered from Jesse's phone.

He recorded your stop.

They're afraid that if you go down,

you're gonna take the entire
department with you.

Now we're giving you
a chance to come clean.

Tell us what you know,
maybe we can help you out.

Show us the evidence.

They don't have a video.
They're bluffing.

We're done here, thank you.

You lied, Deputy Beck.

Jesse didn't open his door.

You pulled it open for him after
he threw his I.D. on the ground.

I don't bluff.

(reporters clamoring outside)

(door closes)

PRESTON: We have an
eyewitness, maybe two

who says Arlen Cox killed Joey.

ASHE: But the murder weapon was
found in Pastor Janae's office.

PRESTON: Which she says was
planted there during the robbery.

ASHE: Alleged robbery... you think

the Hands are going to let
somebody jack the pastor?

PRESTON: So why be the
loudest person in the room

- yelling, "What about Joey?"
- Takes suspicion off.

What are you arguing, Ashe?

(sighs)

She beat him.

A 17-year-old kid.

We can't ignore that.

So we ignore everything else we know?

Look.

I know you believe Cory.

And I know you believe
this department is dirty.

I need a look at that gun.

I know you all pulled triple shifts

to make sure we had
a strong presence out there,

and the city is grateful.

Now that things are back to normal,

we got to get our numbers back up.

So we need to go fish.

Speeders, expired tags,
anything you can pull in.

These riots ain't gonna
pay for themselves.

All right, dismissed.

PLATT: I feel like we've
been here before.

Like d?j? vu, wouldn't you say?

I want that gun.

We're in the middle
of the investigation.

So are we. And federal trumps Mayberry.

We'll turn it over as soon
as we're done with that testing.

We'll take it now.

PRESTON: What more can the gun tell us?

Who it really belongs to.

Platt said the serial number's gone.

When I was in Mexico, we were
tracking so many illegal guns

coming in from the U.S.

Cartels would shave the numbers off,

but they were actually embedded three,
four layers deep in the steel.

Right person can still pull them up.

Who's the right person?

I'll get it done.

(sighs)

(computer ringing)

Hey.

(sighs)

Appreciate you picking up.

What do you want?

I'm sorry.

I deleted the audio.

I was never gonna send it,
anyway, you know that.

No.

I know nothing when it comes to you.

Not no more.

It was a desperate move, Javi,
but when it comes to Kai,

you'd do the same.

That it?

I need a favor.

It's not for me, it's this case I'm on.

They killed a 17-year-old black boy.

I have the murder weapon, but
the serial number's been filed.

I need to get at that number.

I'm not the only one
who can do this, so...

send it through proper channels.

That'll take days... I need it now.

This is what we do, Javi,
get the bad guys.

Get it to me.

(sighs)

DOJ courier will be on the next plane.

Thank you.

(exhales)

(indistinct chatter)

(siren wailing)

(siren stops)

Morning, sir.

Your license and registration, please.

I need to reach into my glove box.

Go right ahead.

Can I ask what I did?

You have to signal at least 100
feet before making a turn.

You've got to be kidding me...
how am I supposed to know that?

It's the law.

How much is the ticket?

150.

150?

I already got a $75 jaywalking
ticket I can't afford.

And if I can't pay it, y'all
will put a warrant out on me

and I'll get locked up and lose my job,

and I can't pay it no way.

(sighs)

Can you let me off with a warning?

Just this once, please.

I'm sorry, sir.

I'm just doing my job.

Then can at least I go to mine now?

Yeah, have a good day, sir.

(engine starts)

You ready, Mom?

SHAMEEKA: Been ready for five minutes.

Mm-hmm.

(tapping in rhythm)

(pounding beat on both sides of wall)

(rapping):
Last name Campbell,
first name Shameeka

- Happy birthday.
- Happy birthday, Mom.

All that!

(crying)

Are you ready, Mom?

SHAMEEKA: I've been ready
for five minutes.

EAMONS: In 1962, segregation was
a way of life in Gate Station.

Most people accepted it.

But not Horace Alvers and Darius Smith.

These two men, one black and one white,

went together to the Main Street Diner

and sat down at the lunch counter.

They were taunted, they were humiliated,

and they were arrested.

But they came back the next day,
and the next, and the next,

for seven days straight.

And then on the eighth day,

five people joined them at the counter.

And the next day, it was ten.

And soon, that room was packed

with black and white diners,
eating together.

These two brave men created
a new normal...

Governor, you might want
to cut it short.

(camera clicking)

It appears Mr. Smith is taking
a well-deserved nap.

(laughing)

That's not the kind of nap
you wake up from, Governor.

Mr. Smith?

Oh...

(audience gasping)

- Governor.
- Oh, my God.

MAN: Governor, we need to go right now.

(camera clicking)

(audience murmuring)

(indistinct chatter, children yelling)

CHILD: Kick it!

Daddy!

Daddy!

- (laughing)
- Daddy!

Ah!

What's going on, crazies?

(Beck laughs)

Mama Moore.

Josh.

Go ahead, go play.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Look, the way that I acted,

um, taking out all my
frustration on y'all...

I'm sorry.

The boys missed you.

I missed you.

I missed you so much more.

Pastor Janae Jones currently in custody

at the Gate Station Sheriff's Office.

- Now in a statement,
- (phone buzzing)

Governor Eamons says she's

really shocked by this arrest.

Janae, who took to Governor
Eamons to the Houses...

Hey.

JAVIER (on phone):
I'm faxing you the info.

- You got the number?
- Yep.

REPORTER: However, Governor Eamons...

Thanks, Javi.

Ashe, we're not partners.

We're not friends.

If it ain't about Kai, don't call me.

(phone beeps)

(fax machine printing)

(indistinct chatter on TV)

(door closes)

The gun used to kill
Joey Campbell is yours.

Excuse me?

You paid for it in October of last year.
Old North Firearms.

Oh, my God.

That's my gun.

- It was stolen.
- Really? When?

About two months ago.

My son and I went for lunch

after spending time
shooting at the range

- and the gun was taken from my car.
- You filed a report?

Of course I did!

I know that stolen guns usually
end up on the street.

And I wanted to do things
in a proper manner.

(door closes)

MAN: Gates Station Sheriff's Office.

Yes, ma'am.

Do you have a police report
filed by Arlen Cox

for a stolen Beretta 92?

(typing)

(document printing)

Gate Station, best department
money can buy.

Cory and Kiana can be enough to indict.

Even if we have to compel
Kiana to testify.

Except both are black, poor.

Don't speak the King's English.

Justice is supposed to be blind,
but she can be a racist bitch.

We needed that gun.

Shirlane's out of recovery.

We should find out what she knows.

So where did that ten G's
you gave her come from?

I know first-year attorneys
ain't rolling like that.

Borrowed it from my brother.

You sure ain't the same cat
I met six weeks ago.

For a minute, I didn't think you
were the same person, either.

I know.

My head was messed up from the hearing.

But I'm good now.

You know, it's like
I want to do what's right,

but nobody's playing fair.

We all get into this wanting
to ride in on the white horse.

But you learn pretty quick

you can't play a clean game
against dirty players.

But you're still good, Preston.

I think Beck could be guilty.

But I don't want to put
a brother away for this.

And I want Arlen because
he's a racist bastard.

I don't want to see color, but I do.

What no one seems to get,
it ain't about seeing race.

It's about seeing where
people are coming from.

We do that, we do our jobs.

You can imagine how shocked I was

when I discovered that it was my gun

that was recovered
from the pastor's church.

- I was, too, Arlen.
- I want to know how that happened.

I'm finding out.

Those two people are aiming
to blame that killing on me.

They're gonna be gone
in less than a week.

Oncology, 554, please. Oncology, 554.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't think I was
putting you in any danger.

It was almost worth it.

This is a hell of a story.

What did Kiana tell you?

She said she was coming
around the corner

to see who was hollering,

when she heard the gunshot.

She saw Arlen Cox

kneeling over Joey, holding a gun.

Arlen Cox.

She said there were two
sheriff's deputies with him.

Did she name the deputies?

She knew one of them.

Derkin.

He-he worked the Houses.

Didn't know the other one,

but maybe if you put some
pictures in front of her,

she might recognize him.

Kiana went ghost again.

Well, even if you find her,
she won't testify.

She's too scared.

She has good reason to be.

(knock at door)

Alicia.

I heard on the news.

About Pastor Janae.

SHAMEEKA: I hope you like it.

Some folk think I make mine
too sweet, but...

No, it's good.

(laughs)

Anyone ever tell you your voice
go up a little when you lie?

(laughing): Oh, I was...

I leave the bags in too long, though.

Lord knows I don't need nothing else

keeping my eyes open at night.

Oh, yeah.

I can't even fall asleep
without a little help.

It's like I sleep, but I don't rest,

if that makes any sense.

I listen to Jesse's old voice messages.

You know, or I-I watch him.

(laughs)

Do you, uh...

Do you want to meet him?

Yeah.

Okay, okay.

(sighs): Oh, boy.

(laughing)

Let's see.

Okay, it's graduation,
this is my beautiful baby!

He's going away!

I love you, baby,
he's leaving high school!

JESSE: I love you, too.

You're leaving high school,
how do you feel?

I feel... good, ready.

Ready, that's good.
Okay, ready for what?

Uh, the world.

Go out and conquer.

Conquer like Deadpool!

ALICIA: You're a superhero.

Shawn will be back.

- Play another one.
- Okay.

(sighs)

- Hi, there, boss. How you doing?
- Good, Calvert.

You want to come in?

Maybe we could talk outside.

Sure.

(Breeland and Platt
talking softly outside)

Okay, well, I guess I'll leave.

There's nothing that,
there's nothing I need to know.

(door opens)

Hey, everything okay?

Yeah, honey.

I'm fine.

(phone buzzes)

_

GIRL: 12! 12!

(indistinct shouting)

MAN: Just give me the bag back!
Give me it!

(grunts)

- Stay down! Don't move!
- Get off me, man!

- What the hell you doing here?
- Nothing.

Stay down.

(breathlessly): Come with me.

Now, why would you be
in a place like that?

Nowhere else to go.

What's wrong with home?

Not trying to be there right now.

Don't you think your mom
might be worried about you?

It can't be easy for her.

Losing her oldest boy.

It's easy for y'all
to kill black people?

- Now that's what you think we do?
- I know that's what y'all do.

You used to lynch us,
and now y'all shoot us.

Like we ain't even human,
like my brother was a dog.

I'm sorry about your brother.

But there's nothing I can do
to bring back your brother.

Nothing I can do about the lynchings

that happened before I was born.

You know, I pulled over someone today

and gave him a ticket.

And he asked me for a break.

Guy needed a break.

That's all.

You know, maybe I'm making
you my do-over.

My brother doesn't get a do-over.

Tell me something about him.

Why?

Because I'd like to know.

My brother always used to walk
around with a basketball.

Like a baller.

But he can't play.

He thought he could, but he was so bad.

(laughs)

Now, you think he'd want you
staying in abandoned buildings?

Not being with your mom?

(sighs)

What?

I just wish that she'd just stop

trying to make me her do-over with Joey.

ASHE: Hey, Boogs.

I'm wearing your bracelet.

I never take it off.

Reminds me I did one good thing.

You are the most beautiful girl
in the world.

And the fastest, and
the strongest, and the bravest.

You ever feel down, you hear
my voice telling you that.

I know this is hard,

but just remember,
this is part of your journey,

and one day, you'll be proud
you made it through.

You'll be like a superhero.

You are the very best part of me.

Embrace your fearlessness, okay?

And your curls and your pretty
brown skin and your butt.

(laughs): You got that from me, too.

You are loved, Kai.

So deeply.

(crying): Don't ever let anyone
take that truth away from you.

If anything ever happens to me,

I need you to know this.

I love you, Boogs.

EAMONS: I'm sorry about your friend.
This was supposed to be a special day.

Life doesn't always agree
with our plans,

so you have to stay open to new ones.

How do you do that?

See life so simply, after
everything you've been through?

My daddy raised me to be
a 24-hour person.

A 24-hour person?

It means you're not
the righteous preacher

that cheats on his wife.

You don't do right by the boss
and then backstab your friends.

A 24-hour person knows who they are,

is consistent.

Somebody you can depend on
24 hours a day.

That's what Darius and I tried to be.

(chuckles)

I ain't been in that diner in... years.

Mind if I go in and take a look?

Sarah, you and Trevor

- take Mr. Alvers inside?
- Yes, ma'am.

(car door closes)

(crying)

(dog barking)

(car door closes)

So how come we're not just
drinking at the hotel?

Better music.

You want to tell me what
the hell is going on here?

I'll be back.

Got a minute, Lieutenant?

Sure.

(urinating)

What?

You looking for a heart-to-heart?

I got your text.

You're done messing with my daughter.

You're done messing with my head.

You drove under the influence.

You assaulted a police officer.

I'm just telling the truth.

So am I.

You were there
when Arlen Cox killed Joey.

You covered it up.

Well.

The difference is that I can prove mine.

What you're missing, Lieutenant,

is I'm smarter than you.

(chuckles)

- (grunts)
- (gasps)

You ever want to be a mother
to your little girl again,

you better start figuring out
what the word "smart" means.

You got that, you relentless bitch?

Huh?

(handcuffs click)

(gasps)

No.

(yells)

(panting)

(grunting)

(struggling and choking)

PRESTON: Ashe.

Ashe!

Ashe!

(gasps)

(unlocking handcuffs)

I just lost Kai.

- I lost her.
- What?

Breeland made a report.

Assaulting an officer, drunk driving.

- Did you?
- No, it doesn't matter.

He's gonna send it to the
judge and it's over.

Ashe, I will destroy him on the stand.

- I could've killed him.
- Nobody's going to hurt you like that!

I could have killed him, I wanted to.

But you didn't.

- I don't deserve her.
- Don't say that.

I killed somebody's child,
why shouldn't I lose mine?

I'm no good, I'm no good.

- I'm not good for anybody, I'm no good.
- Yes, you are.

Hey, yes, you are.

You are.

You don't want this.

-
With my stubborn silence? - Hey.

Look at me.

Ashe, look at me.

Was it self-defense, Josh?

Yes.

(lock beeping)

JESSE: Great, popo.

Check this out.
