Police! Open up!

No. No, no, no, don't answer it!

What you want me to do? Let 'em break down the door?

Aaron Hernandez,

you're under arrest for the murder of Odin Lloyd.

You have the right to remain silent.

- He didn't do anything. - Anything you say

can and will be used against you in a court of law.

You have the right to an attorney.

If you cannot afford one, one will be provided for you.

Let him put on his shirt.

I love you.

- I love you, too. Love you, too. - It's gonna be okay.

- It's gonna be okay. - Yeah.

Did you kill Odin?

Aaron, did you kill him?

Aaron, right this way.

- Aaron... - Aaron! Aaron!

Hernandez, look this way.

Quick statement, Officer!

Does this void your contract with the Patriots?

Over here!

81, did you do it?

Hernandez!

Hey, Hernandez!

Shock today in North Attleborough

as football star Aaron Hernandez was arrested

for an alleged murder that has left

the entire Patriots Nation in shock.

Out.

We have to cut him, Bill, like now,

- right now, right this second. - Release.

- What? - You release a player, you don't cut a player.

I can cut whoever I want! He killed that guy.

Allegedly.

You know, he was here just two days ago,

and I asked him point-blank if he was involved.

He hugged me. Told me not to worry.

Well, I feel duped. No, absolutely duped.

I mean, do you know how this looks for us?

For this franchise? Effie!

Where are you? Get in here, please.

You know what? I knew it was a mistake to draft him.

He fell to us for a reason, Bill.

Even Meyer warned us about him.

- Fucking Meyer. - Sorry,

I was trying to get a statement out before the league does.

All right, what else do we need to do?

Scrub him from the facility.

All pictures, his locker.

And I would do something for the fans.

Like a jersey exchange.

81 was the third best-selling jersey,

so there's a lot out there.

That's a good idea. Let's do that.

The players shouldn't say a word.

- I'll handle the team. - And we should hold a press conference.

- Fuck. - By tomorrow at the latest.

- I think it should be Coach. - I agree.

And none of the usual shit, Bill.

Put on a clean shirt. Don't mumble.

This is important.

Um, this case involved an individual

who happened to be a New England Patriot.

In no way does this represent the way that we do things.

As head coach,

um, I'm proud.

I'm proud of the players, the hundreds of players

that have come through this program.

And I'm-I'm disappointed.

You know, I'm hurt in a situation like this.

It's time for the New England Patriots to move forward.

And that consists of doing, you know,

WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS DONE:

building a winning football team that our fans can be proud of.

That, and only that, is why we're here.

I won't be taking any questions.

This is the last time that I'll speak of this.

Brittney.

How could you do this to us?

I didn't.

Who else could it have been, Brittney?

Look at this. That is my baby.

I swear, I didn't.

Brittney, I need you to get the fuck out my house.

- Shay. - Bitch,

if you don't get the fuck out my house right now...

- Go! - Shayanna! Shayanna! How's your daughter doing?

- Get out of my house. - Can you make a statement?

Are you considered a person of interest?

Shay, how's Aaron doing?

- He's not here! - Why are you in hiding?

He's not, he's not here.

Hi, Brian.

Hey, Shayanna, hi. How are you?

I'm not having a great day. What's up?

Uh, well,

I just wanted to, uh, fill you in.

I, um... I heard back from the team this morning.

About the money. I wish I had different news.

Uh, they're terminating his contract.

Wait, what do you...? No, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, that's not possible. It's guaranteed.

Well, there's a player conduct clause

in the collective bargaining agreement, and, uh...

They can't just cut us off, Brian.

- I know. - No, no, you don't know.

I have bills. The mortgage, the lawyers.

- I have to pay... - Yeah, I'm gonna work on it, - all right?

Just breathe. Gonna be okay.

How?

How is it gonna be okay, hmm?

Mom, I have been calling you.

- Shay, it's not a good time. - Mom, please.

My life is falling apart,

and I just need you to watch your granddaughter

- for two hours. - About time you showed up.

Give me.

Hi there.

Where have you been?

I buried Odin, Shay.

I've been taking care of his mother and wondering

where the hell my sister is.

I know.

- I'm sorry. - Are you still in his house?

It's our house.

We have a child. Where am I supposed to go?

He killed Odin, Shayanna.

No, we do not know anything.

Do you watch the news or read the paper?

- I mean, it is plain as day. - No, it doesn't make sense.

Aaron loved Odin.

He wouldn't hurt him.

He would not do that.

Where did you go that day?

- What? - You thought I was asleep.

Aaron called you, and you went somewhere.

Took my car and left.

Where did you go?

I just needed some air.

You needed air on the worst day of my life?

I know, I'm, I'm sorry.

I've played it over in my head a thousand times.

I let him hug me,

and you looked at each other like you knew.

Like you were protecting him.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Think about what you are saying, okay?

You are my sister. I love you.

I'm just trying to figure this out like everybody else.

Please.

Hey, see him?

That's his brother right there, yeah.

What you looking at, killer?

Don't shoot.

Fucking joke.

- Ruined the whole season. - Ruined the fucking season.

Hey, Ma.

It's so good to see you.

- How was your trip in? - It was fine.

Um...

I had to bring all my stuff. I'm not going back.

- What do you mean? - Coach Ferentz

doesn't want me to be a distraction.

Says I should come home and focus on my family.

Well, I'm going through the same exact shit.

The school wants me to take a leave of absence.

I haven't taken a day off in 22 years.

What the hell?

He hasn't even gone to trial yet.

You do something to your hair?

Everyone keeps looking at me everywhere I go.

I always dreamed my picture would be in the paper,

- but this... - Right.

The whole world is making him out to be

some kind of monster, DJ.

Like I raised a killer.

I've got newspeople camping outside my house,

and you know what I do?

I go out there every day and I say the same damn thing:

"My baby didn't do this."

- Your baby? - He is my baby.

I can be there for him right now.

And I will be.

He pushed me aside for a long time.

But who's out there standing up for him, huh? Me.

I sure as hell don't see Tanya doing anything.

Ma, Tanya's sick. She's really, really sick.

Karma's a bitch.

- Jesus Christ, Ma. - I'm just saying...

...he needs me right now.

He needs his mother more than anything.

And I'm not gonna let him down.

Can I help you?

I'm Assistant District Attorney William McCauley.

This is my colleague Patrick Bomberg.

I don't have anything to say.

Well, we have something to show you.

Might change your mind.

We were able to restore

the damaged security tapes

taken from your basement.

This is the day after Odin Lloyd was killed.

That's you, right?

Whose car is that?

Um, it's my sister's.

And... what's that you're carrying?

- Just some garbage. - To the car?

That's funny, I-I usually throw out my garbage

- in the garbage can. - Hmm.

Looks like you're carrying a box.

I mean, there was a box inside of there,

but there was other stuff, too.

What was in the box?

Uh, I-I don't know.

You didn't look?

- No. - Oh, come on.

He called you, Shayanna.

We have the phone records. Five minutes later

you walk outside the house with a bag of trash?

We know the murder weapon was in there.

- He told you to get rid of it. - No.

- That is not what happened. - Okay.

Um...

Is that your signature?

Yeah?

So you signed a police witness statement

saying that you didn't remove anything from your home.

But you clearly did.

You know what we call that? Obstruction of justice.

Yeah, and unfortunately that comes with

a five-year prison term.

Unless, of course, you cooperate.

- Cooperate? - Testify.

I told you I do not know anything.

Hey, you don't have to be afraid of him anymore.

I am not afraid of Aaron.

You guys don't have a murder weapon,

so you want me to lie so you can take Aaron down?

No, Aaron's done, Shayanna.

The evidence against him is overwhelming.

He's going to prison for the rest of his life.

The only question is, what are you gonna do?

You made a mistake.

This is your chance to fix it.

What happens to Avielle if you go to prison, too?

We'll be in touch.

And a historic move by the NFL,

not on the field, in the court.

The National Football League has reached

a $765 million settlement.

The players had sued the league,

accusing the NFL of concealing the dangers

of head traumas and concussion...

Thank you.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

How you feeling?

Like I'm gonna puke.

My mouth is like a desert.

Jesus.

Thanks.

What do you think happened... that night?

Well, what do you think?

I mean, I-I'll tell you what I know.

Wallace and Ortiz should have been

looking out for him.

I mean, really, all of us should have,

after everything he's done for us.

I tried.

I tried, but now I'm in trouble.

He called me to ask me to get rid of a box.

Wait, you did it?

Hey, you did the right thing.

I mean, look, ride or die.

But they got me on tape.

So?

I mean, look, I've been subpoenaed,

like, three times?

- You have? - Yeah.

I mean, they know I paid for Wallace

to go to Florida after all this went down.

But look, I'm not gonna tell some jury about it.

I mean, I'm not betraying Aaron.

I just wish I knew the truth.

The truth about Aaron?

You read the papers...

...he's a cold-blooded killer.

A thug, a menace.

And before that, he-he was a superstar.

You know, living the dream.

Ah... to me he'll always be just...

the kid with the dimples.

I remember this one time, Aaron was like six or seven.

Everybody was over here. We were all outside.

We were cooking out, and...

DJ and the boys were playing football.

And I see Aaron not in the game

but with the girls.

Yeah, they were all doing cheerleading and,

you know, with pom-poms and everything.

There was Aaron. He was just laughing his head off

and he was dancing.

Man, the kid had moves.

Then I see Dennis.

I mean, you can imagine,

it just, it embarrassed the hell out of him.

He went over and he just...

...he grabbed Aaron by the back of the neck,

like a dog.

He just dragged him out of there,

just in front of everyone.

I thought he was gonna break him in half.

- God. - He was a son of a bitch, my uncle.

And Aaron just...

I mean, he-he took the brunt of it.

All because he was special.

I made a promise after that

that... I would always look out for him,

you know, no matter what.

That's my truth.

Aaron says you, uh...

you haven't been to see him.

Yeah, yeah, you know,

I've just been so crazed, and...

Ride...

...or die.

Hey, Ma.

The drive was awful. Two hours to get here.

There was traffic on 40,

- and the wait just to get in this place? - Yeah.

Sorry.

Don't be. No.

I came here to see you. Your face.

Tell me, how are you?

I'm all right.

I've been reading a lot.

I've been reading the...

I've been reading the Harry Potters.

I thought those were for kids.

I tried to reach out to your lawyers.

What do they say about the trial?

They feel good. Yeah. Yeah.

Um, you know, they know I didn't do it, obviously.

Uh, you know, shit got crazy that night,

but I didn't, like, shoot anybody.

They also know it's gonna be really hard to find

12 people in New England who aren't fans.

So...

- I'm sure that's right. - Yeah, yeah.

I saw Avi the other day.

- Yeah? - She's getting big.

Yeah, I went over there to help Shay out.

I've been asking to help out as much as I can.

Oh, that's good.

- Thanks, Ma. - Oh, you're welcome.

But I was cleaning up the kitchen,

and I found something.

- What is this? - Bomberg.

The guy who's trying to put you away for life.

I guess she's talking to him.

No, no, why-Why would she do that?

Oh, come on, Aaron, why wouldn't she?

Did her mother stand by her father

when he was sent away?

And they're close, those sisters.

I'm sure there's a lot of pressure.

I just don't see what's in it for Shay at this point,

especially if the money's gone.

Has she come to see you? Even once?

I can talk to her.

I'll do anything for you, Aaron.

Anything.

It's nice to get out.

Well, I was worried about you alone in that big house.

What does one wear to her son's murder trial?

A pop of color? Huh?

So, have you decided where you're gonna sit?

Sorry?

At the trial. Which side?

All of us are gonna be sitting on Aaron's side, obviously,

but your sister and your mother...

You haven't talked to them about this yet?

Um, uh, a little.

Oh, you can always wear something more professional

if you were planning on doing something like

testify on their behalf.

Terri...

What are you doing right now?

I'm just trying to figure out

whose side you're on. That's all.

I have no choice. I have to testify...

We always have a choice.

Hopefully it doesn't come down to that.

Maybe it won't, but even if it did,

even if you did have to testify, what would you say, really?

You don't know anything. Isn't that right?

Mm-hmm. No.

- I don't. - Good. That's good.

When this nightmare is over, we're all gonna be

one big happy family again.

And I want you to know that you're a part of that.

Oh, I like this.

Do you like this for me?

Do you like this color?

Ms. Singleton, open up.

Come on, Tanya, we know you're in there.

Oh, great.

What do you want?

We have a warrant for your arrest.

Failure to respond to grand jury subpoena.

Three times, if I'm not mistaken.

Given your condition,

I'm authorized to take down your sworn statement right now

instead.

If you're ready to cooperate.

Let me get my pills.

All right, wrap it up.

Jesus, you need all your friends here?

I got neighbors, you know.

We're searching the premises.

Not without a warrant.

I have that, too.

Come on.

When our clients enter the league,

it really is their first job.

We like to take care of everything

so that you can just focus on the job of being

a professional athlete. Nancy, I asked not to be disturbed.

Line one. It's an emergency.

An emergency. Sorry. Just a sec.

Yeah?

How is that possible?

Book me a flight to Boston.

Now.

- Hey. - Hey.

Thanks for coming over.

I didn't even know you were in town.

- What's-what's going on? - Have a seat, Shay.

You heard that, uh, Tanya got arrested?

- Yeah. Yeah. - Yeah.

Because she didn't talk to the cops?

Oh, it's worse than that.

Um, they found a car in her garage

that is apparently tied

to a double murder in Boston from 2012.

All right.

The car is Aaron's, Shay.

The case had gone cold,

but this is what happens when there's blood in the water.

They have Aaron on video in the club that night.

Apparently he's their prime suspect.

But I... wouldn't be surprised if they charged him

- with the Kennedy assassination next. - Wait.

Aaron...

is being charged with another murder?

We're gonna plead not guilty, obviously.

But it's gonna be all over the news by tonight.

I just wanted you to hear it from me.

- What the fuck is going on? - I don't know.

I mean, I knew there was trouble.

- With all of the Bradley stuff... - Wait.

What Bradley stuff?

Brian, what did you do?

Nothing. I did my job.

I took care of my client. That's-that's what I do.

I love the kid. I was just tryin' to do right by him.

Prosecutors announced new murder charges

for former NFL star Aaron Hernandez.

Hernandez is already awaiting trial

in another shooting death.

Boston police say

he shot two men

outside a Boston nightclub in 2012.

Detectives got their big break

when Hernandez's Toyota 4Runner was found

stashed in his cousin's garage.

They've yet to give any further detail on the nature

of the new charges...

Please tell me...

please tell me that this one is not true, Aaron,

'cause I cannot handle any more.

I can't believe you didn't bring Avi.

Are you joking?

I am not bringing her here.

I don't want her to remember

- any of this. - Well, then why'd you come?

Because I want to know... what the hell, Aaron?

I defend you.

That why you're talking to the D.A.?

What am I supposed to do?

I am in fucking trouble because of you.

And I cannot believe you made me go out there...

What's gonna happen to Avi

if you and I are both in prison, Aaron, huh?

Do you realize I am torn,

I am torn between you and my family?

I'm your family.

I'm your family, Shay.

I didn't do this.

Shay, you know I didn't do this.

Come on.

It's me.

It's me, Shay. This is gonna go to court.

And then everybody's gonna see.

And then we're gonna get it all back.

We're gonna get us back.

Look at me.

You just got to stay with me, Shay.

Shayanna, Shayanna,

do you think your husband did it?

- Will you clear his name? - Do you think

your fiancé did it? Ms. Jenkins! Ms. Jenkins!

Do you still stand with Aaron?

Aaron Hernandez is a killer.

He murdered Odin Lloyd in cold blood,

and we have irrefutable evidence to prove it.

Now, the defense is gonna tell you

that that... no, no... that's-that's impossible.

You know Aaron Hernandez.

Watched him grow up.

Playing football countless Sundays,

just up the road from here.

Look, I'm a fan, too.

Our fandom allows players like Aaron Hernandez

to get away with things.

Aaron has been getting away with things his entire life.

And because he's fast and strong,

he's been rewarded with fame and riches.

But you cannot let him get away with this.

Not with murder.

Did you see your brother go somewhere that night?

Yes. He got into the back seat of a silver car.

Later, you received a text message from him?

Yes. It said, "I'm with NFL."

Was that the last time you heard from your brother?

Yes.

How many casings did you find at the scene, Detective?

Four. From a Glock 45 millimeter handgun.

And when you got to the quarry?

Aaron and Odin got out the car and took a walk.

Where were you during this time?

Me and Wallace, we stayed back in the car.

I must've, like, fallen asleep 'cause...

you know, I woke up when I heard gunshots.

And all of a sudden, Aaron,

you know, he gets back in the car

and was like, "Yo, we got to bounce."

Did you see the gun?

Yeah, he was holding it.

And Odin?

He didn't come back.

We believe that object in his hand is a Glock.

So, what happened to it?

We believe he disposed of it

in the days before we searched his house.

Or someone else did it for him.

Every day, Odin would check on me.

"How are you, Mom?"

"Can I do anything for you, Mom?"

And did you see him the day he was taken from you?

Yes.

He wished me a happy Father's Day.

Told me how beautiful I looked in my dress.

This dress.

Every time I wear it,

I remember his smile when he told me that.

I'm never gonna see that smile again.

Not on this earth.

Court will be adjourned for the weekend.

The Super Bowl is on Sunday and the Patriots are playing.

If they start talking about this case, mute it.

We are adjourned.

I hear you're testifying next week.

Yeah.

I am.

Wait.

I don't care what you did.

I don't care that you're sitting with them,

or that you lied to me.

I just need you to go up there and tell the truth.

Please.

I can't lose you, too.

The Patriots are champions again.

I'm here with Coach Bill Belichick.

Coach, how have you managed

to put a team together year after year

that can win, no matter the circumstances?

These guys, we have a great team.

A lot of great players.

I-I'm so proud of all these players.

I love these guys.

Let's hear it one more time

for Coach Belichick and all the New England Patriots,

your Super Bowl XLIX champions.

Are you gonna go against your family?

How do you feel about your sister now?

Justice for Lloyd!

Ms. Jenkins, are you okay with your testimony?

We got your back, Ms. Jenkins.

The prosecution calls Shayanna Jenkins to the stand.

Ms. Jenkins...

on the day after Odin Lloyd was murdered,

do you recall receiving a phone call from the defendant

at 1:08 p.m.?

- Yes. - All right.

And on that call, did the defendant

ask you to do something?

- Yes. - What did he ask you to do?

To remove a box.

And just tell us about that. What did he say?

He told me to go downstairs in our storage room

and remove a box from our home.

And what did he tell you to do with the box?

To take it out of our house.

Right. Which you did.

Yes.

Did he tell you why he wanted you to do that?

I believe he said it was important.

Okay. Did you look inside?

No.

No?

- No, I did not. - You didn't even look?

No.

Did you have any conversation with the defendant

with regards to the contents of the box?

No.

What did you do with the box?

I put it in a bag and... disposed of it.

- Where? - I can't remember.

A dumpster, I think, somewhere.

Is there anything interfering with your ability to remember?

- Objection. - I'll allow that.

There were...

you know, a lot of things going on.

And I was trying to play a neutral role

and, um, you know, comforting my sister...

...and dealing with...

Everyone's emotions were on me.

And...

...there was a form of breaking down

at that point.

I was nervous.

As you were throwing it out,

did you have any thought about what was in there?

I did.

And what did you think?

That it was marijuana.

I couldn't do it.

I could not leave him.

Everyone leaves him.

They use him and they throw him away.

His mother, his family, they do not care.

And the team?

Every team.

His body was broken.

And he was not thinking straight.

And they still told him to go out there and play.

And it didn't matter if he was getting into trouble

because he was good.

And he was bringing in money.

And even you didn't mind that, Mom.

I leave, and there is nothing.

We're all that he has left.

Me and Avi.

I'll pray for you.

Will the defendant stand, please?

Madam Foreperson...

...on indictment 2013-9A3-A,

charging the defendant, Aaron Hernandez, with murder,

what say you, Madam Foreperson?

Is the defendant not guilty,

guilty of murder in the first degree,

or guilty of murder in the second degree?

Guilty of murder in the first degree.

Okay.

Hi.

Seriously?

Hey, happy birthday, Avi.

Look, your daddy's saying happy birthday, look.

Happy birthday, Avi.

Oh, man, she looks beautiful.

Yeah, she does, but what about Mommy?

Oh, you look beautiful, too, Shay.

Okay, lookit, I brought...

a cupcake.

Cupcakes? Oh, my goodness.

And we brought some...

party hats.

- Party hat? Can I have one. - Yes, you can.

There you go. Lookit, Daddy's putting on his party hat.

- Oh, a perfect fit. - Avi puts on her party hat.

Do you want to blow out the candles, Avi?

You want to blow out the candles?

You got to close your eyes...

I'm gonna count to three, we're gonna make a wish, okay?

Close your eyes. Close your eyes.

Ready? One...

Two, three.

Well, I am going to get her some water

because they didn't let me bring anything in here.

- Okay. - Okay. I'll be back.

Avi, watch your daddy, okay?

Hey.

I'm sorry.
