- God damn it. Where are you?
- 3
- 00:01:31,633 --> 00:01:33,510
- I've sent you four texts, no, five.
- 4
- 00:01:33,593 --> 00:01:35,011
- You can't text me back?
- 5
- 00:01:35,261 --> 00:01:36,262
- Call me.
- 6
- 00:01:43,353 --> 00:01:46,689
- It's me again. Honey, I'm sorry. I--
- 7
- 00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:50,401

- 13
- 00:02:35,238 --> 00:02:37,073
- It's, uh... Tuesday--
- 14
- 00:02:37,157 --> 00:02:39,742
- No, Wednesday night... m-morning. Um...
- 15
- 00:02:42,036 --> 00:02:43,371
- I'm looking for Jamal.
- 16
- 00:02:43,454 --> 00:02:45,748
- He hasn't come home, and I...
- akumenang.com
- 17
- 00:02:45,832 --> 00:02:47,417
- I thought he might be with you.
- akumenang.com
- 18
- 00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:51,254
- I-I'm sorry to bother you,
- or, you know, call so early, but...
- 19
- 00:02:52,380 --> 00:02:56,050
- If you get this message and he's with you,
- can you please have him call me?
- 20
- 00:02:56,134 --> 00:02:58,011
- -My number is 305--
- 21
- 00:02:58,094 --> 00:03:00,555
- Well, it's on your--
- Oh, God, okay, hold on.
- 22
- 00:03:00,638 --> 00:03:06,102
- Just in case, no, um, 305-468-5900.
- 23
- 00:03:07,687 --> 00:03:08,605
- Okay.
- 24
- 00:03:08,813 --> 00:03:10,356
- -Sorry.
- -So I checked,
- 25
- 00:03:10,815 --> 00:03:12,650
- like you asked,
- and the car does show up.
- 26
- 00:03:12,734 --> 00:03:14,527
- -Yeah.
- -It shows up in the system.
- 27
- 00:03:14,611 --> 00:03:16,571
- -Shows--
- -That's all we really know right now.
- 28
- 00:03:17,113 --> 00:03:20,116
- -Show-- Shows up how?
- -It just shows up, as, you know.
- 29
- 00:03:22,535 --> 00:03:25,538
- What's-- How does it end up coming
- to the attention of, you know...
- 30
- 00:03:25,622 --> 00:03:28,249
- Oh, it just was logged in, you know,
- from an incident.
- 31
- 00:03:28,333 --> 00:03:30,293
- It could've been ticketed,
- could've been towed...
- 32
- 00:03:30,376 --> 00:03:32,754
- But Jamal, my son, he was driving it,
- and he--
- 33
- 00:03:32,837 --> 00:03:35,298
- I thought you told me you weren't
- sure whether or not he was...
- 34
- 00:03:35,381 --> 00:03:36,466
- Well, yeah. Yes. Okay,
- 35
- 00:03:36,549 --> 00:03:38,259
- yeah, I didn't see him drive away in it.
- 36
- 00:03:38,343 --> 00:03:41,512
- I did not actually see him get
- in the car. Correct.
- 37
- 00:03:41,596 --> 00:03:43,765
- But the car's not in our driveway.
- 38
- 00:03:44,140 --> 00:03:45,892
- He's been gone
- since eight o'clock last night.
- 39
- 00:03:45,975 --> 00:03:48,269
- Going on eight-- I mean, nine hours.
- 40
- 00:03:48,353 --> 00:03:50,021
- -He's usually home at midnight.
- -Right.
- 41
- 00:03:50,104 --> 00:03:51,481
- He never came home.
- 42
- 00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:53,608
- And when I called the police,
- 43
- 00:03:53,691 --> 00:03:55,777
- they said something happened
- to the car and--
- 44
- 00:03:55,860 --> 00:03:57,528
- I thought you told me they said it was--
- 45
- 00:03:57,612 --> 00:03:58,905
- Hold on. I wrote it down.
- 46
- 00:04:04,327 --> 00:04:07,497
- Okay, um, "An incident."
- I, um--
- 47
- 00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:09,916
- That's what she said, an incident.
- "Identified in an incident."
- 48
- 00:04:09,999 --> 00:04:12,877
- Yes. I understand.
- And, listen, I'm really very sorr--
- 49
- 00:04:12,961 --> 00:04:14,462
- I'm sure that he's gonna turn up.
- 50
- 00:04:14,545 --> 00:04:18,383
- And you've already told me that you're not
- the registered owner of the vehicle.
- 51
- 00:04:18,466 --> 00:04:19,467
- So, I-I mean...
- 52
- 00:04:19,550 --> 00:04:21,719
- I told you I would verify
- the vehicle information anyway.
- 53
- 00:04:21,803 --> 00:04:23,805
- And I did that, okay?
- 54
- 00:04:25,890 --> 00:04:27,183
- He has work.
- 55
- 00:04:28,393 --> 00:04:30,478
- -Sorry?
- -Well, an internship.
- 56
- 00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:33,189
- Jamal, he has a very prestigious...
- 57
- 00:04:34,315 --> 00:04:36,192
- He has some place to be this morning.
- 58
- 00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:37,694
- -Sure.
- -This isn't like him.
- 59
- 00:04:37,777 --> 00:04:38,611
- -Ma'am--
- -Look,
- 60
- 00:04:38,695 --> 00:04:41,197
- can't you do a missing persons report
- or something?
- 61
- 00:04:41,281 --> 00:04:42,991
- Not for 48 hours, no.
- 62
- 00:04:43,074 --> 00:04:45,451
- -Or if there's evidence of, you know--
- -Foul play.
- 63
- 00:04:45,535 --> 00:04:47,870
- We don't really use that term.
- That's the movies.
- 64
- 00:04:47,954 --> 00:04:49,289
- Okay. Something bad. Whatever.
- 65
- 00:04:49,372 --> 00:04:51,207
- -Right.
- -He hasn't come home.
- 66
- 00:04:55,211 --> 00:04:57,463
- He's a responsible kid.
- 67
- 00:04:57,547 --> 00:04:59,799
- -His car could have been stolen.
- -We don't know that.
- 68
- 00:04:59,882 --> 00:05:01,134
- -He's missing!
- -Okay.
- 69
- 00:05:01,217 --> 00:05:02,135
- Isn't that enough?
- 70
- 00:05:02,218 --> 00:05:05,430
- Look, he's-- He's 16, 17.
- 71
- 00:05:05,513 --> 00:05:07,056
- Just turned 18.
- 72
- 00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:09,642
- Oh! Oh, so he's just about
- to graduate high school?
- 73
- 00:05:10,685 --> 00:05:12,729
- -Yeah.
- -So...
- 74
- 00:05:12,812 --> 00:05:14,689
- -So, what?
- -So he's probably...
- 75
- 00:05:15,273 --> 00:05:16,399
- out on South Beach
- 76
- 00:05:16,482 --> 00:05:19,277
- or, you know, well, I know
- you probably don't want to hear this,
- 77
- 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,862
- but hanging out with some girl.
- 78
- 00:05:20,987 --> 00:05:23,364
- You know? Doing what teenage boys do.
- 79
- 00:05:23,448 --> 00:05:24,532
- Yeah.
- 80
- 00:05:24,949 --> 00:05:26,868
- I mean, that's what I was doing
- at that age.
- 81
- 00:05:26,951 --> 00:05:28,119
- Uh-huh.
- 82
- 00:05:30,872 --> 00:05:32,999
- Listen, I'd still appreciate it
- if you all would--
- 83
- 00:05:33,082 --> 00:05:34,417
- Ma'am, we will.
- 84
- 00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:36,753
- But you said that before,
- and you're leaving.
- 85
- 00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:39,922
- And I would really like to know
- what is going on.
- 86
- 00:05:40,006 --> 00:05:42,759
- Look, I told you, as soon as
- the AM liaison officer gets here--
- 87
- 00:05:42,842 --> 00:05:43,843
- -No, I mean now.
- -Sorry?
- 88
- 00:05:43,926 --> 00:05:44,927
- I want to know now.
- 89
- 00:05:45,011 --> 00:05:48,556
- Well, I will be happy to walk you back out
- to reception.
- 90
- 00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:52,018
- -You could check again to see--
- -I was just at reception for half an hour.
- 91
- 00:05:52,101 --> 00:05:54,145
- -There's not much more I can--
- -And the lady there,
- 92
- 00:05:54,228 --> 00:05:56,814
- -she was no help at all.
- -I-- I understand.
- 93
- 00:05:56,898 --> 00:05:58,858
- Look, she sent me to you.
- This can't be that hard.
- 94
- 00:05:58,941 --> 00:06:01,527
- -I'm very sorry, ma'am, I--
- -Either he's in the system or he isn't.
- 95
- 00:06:01,611 --> 00:06:03,363
- Ma'am, no disrespect,
- but we have a protocol.
- 96
- 00:06:03,446 --> 00:06:06,240
- Listen, I may seem paranoid,
- but he's not home.
- 97
- 00:06:07,408 --> 00:06:11,037
- His car is showing up on your radar.
- 98
- 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,163
- -Humor me.
- -Ma'am,
- 99
- 00:06:12,246 --> 00:06:14,248
- as soon
- as the AM liaison officer gets here.
- 100
- 00:06:14,332 --> 00:06:15,708
- Officer, please.
- 101
- 00:06:15,792 --> 00:06:18,711
- -I don't know what you expect me to do.
- -Well, don't you all have computers?
- 102
- 00:06:18,795 --> 00:06:21,464
- I don't know, a database with names
- and DOBs you can--
- 103
- 00:06:21,547 --> 00:06:24,884
- Yes, but I am not authorized
- to just go running down the rabbit hole.
- 104
- 00:06:24,967 --> 00:06:26,969
- -What if somebody walks in, and they...?
- -Please.
- 105
- 00:06:35,103 --> 00:06:36,396
- -Fine.
- 106
- 00:06:37,021 --> 00:06:37,897
- Thank you.
- 107
- 00:06:37,980 --> 00:06:39,857
- But I'm gonna need
- some additional information.
- 108
- 00:06:39,941 --> 00:06:40,817
- -Sure.
- -All right.
- 109
- 00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:42,985
- Just let me-- Let me get something.
- 110
- 00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:53,538
- Hmm.
- 111
- 00:07:03,631 --> 00:07:04,549
- First name again?
- 112
- 00:07:04,632 --> 00:07:06,342
- Jamal, J-A-M-A-L.
- 113
- 00:07:06,717 --> 00:07:07,677
- Last name, Connor.
- 114
- 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:08,636
- Yes.
- 115
- 00:07:09,846 --> 00:07:11,305
- -Is that E-R?
- -No, O-R.
- 116
- 00:07:11,389 --> 00:07:12,640
- C-O-N-N-O-R.
- 117
- 00:07:12,723 --> 00:07:13,641
- DOB?
- 118
- 00:07:13,724 --> 00:07:15,101
- 5/1/2001.
- 119
- 00:07:15,184 --> 00:07:16,018
- Any priors?
- 120
- 00:07:17,061 --> 00:07:17,895
- Sorry?
- 121
- 00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:20,648
- Priors.
- Has he ever been arrested before?
- 122
- 00:07:21,691 --> 00:07:22,984
- Oh. No.
- 123
- 00:07:23,067 --> 00:07:23,985
- -Are you sure?
- -Yes.
- 124
- 00:07:24,068 --> 00:07:26,070
- -Even juvie.
- -Juvie?
- 125
- 00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:28,531
- -Does he have a juvenile record?
- -No.
- 126
- 00:07:28,614 --> 00:07:30,032
- -Nothing?
- -Nothing.
- 127
- 00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:34,537
- Not even a trespassing
- or resisting without, petty theft?
- 128
- 00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:37,874
- He's never so much as torn the tag
- off a new mattress, okay?
- 129
- 00:07:37,957 --> 00:07:39,375
- -Excuse me?
- -Nothing.
- 130
- 00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:41,377
- No-- No arrest record at all.
- 131
- 00:07:42,211 --> 00:07:44,922
- Hmm. Uh, does he go by any other names?
- 132
- 00:07:45,256 --> 00:07:46,340
- Like a nickname?
- 133
- 00:07:46,424 --> 00:07:47,884
- I mean, his father calls him J.
- 134
- 00:07:47,967 --> 00:07:49,427
- No. Uh, AKAs?
- 135
- 00:07:51,012 --> 00:07:52,638
- -I'm sorry?
- -AKAs.
- 136
- 00:07:52,930 --> 00:07:55,808
- You know, "also known as."
- Like, street names.
- 137
- 00:07:55,892 --> 00:07:57,101
- Street names?
- 138
- 00:07:57,185 --> 00:08:00,855
- Yeah. Well, if he was taken into custody
- under a different alias, right?
- 139
- 00:08:00,938 --> 00:08:03,274
- He gave a different--
- Well, different from some other time
- 140
- 00:08:03,357 --> 00:08:05,902
- -is all I'm saying.
- -I just told you he's never been arrested.
- 141
- 00:08:05,985 --> 00:08:08,112
- But just in case
- he might have been printed for,
- 142
- 00:08:08,196 --> 00:08:11,574
- I don't know, whatever.
- Or had a warning issued, or...
- 143
- 00:08:12,158 --> 00:08:13,493
- -A street name?
- -Right.
- 144
- 00:08:14,619 --> 00:08:16,996
- -Like Peanut? Or Black?
- -Exactly.
- 145
- 00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:18,080
- Or Pookie.
- 146
- 00:08:19,081 --> 00:08:19,916
- Yes, ma'am.
- 147
- 00:08:22,418 --> 00:08:24,212
- Well, there's June Bug.
- 148
- 00:08:24,545 --> 00:08:25,880
- -June Bug.
- -Yup.
- 149
- 00:08:25,963 --> 00:08:28,007
- -That's his street name?
- -Jesus Christ.
- 150
- 00:08:28,090 --> 00:08:29,091
- - Is it?
- -No.
- 151
- 00:08:30,593 --> 00:08:32,428
- It's not an alias. It's not a street name.
- 152
- 00:08:32,512 --> 00:08:33,346
- You sure?
- 153
- 00:08:33,429 --> 00:08:35,431
- It's what I used to call him
- when he was little.
- 154
- 00:08:36,849 --> 00:08:39,018
- It's what I call him now
- when I want to knock the cool out of him
- 155
- 00:08:39,101 --> 00:08:41,229
- in front of his friends.
- He doesn't have a street name.
- 156
- 00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:45,733
- Can you please just run all this
- through your computer...
- 157
- 00:08:45,816 --> 00:08:48,653
- -Ma'am! I am going to.
- -...and find out what is going on?
- 158
- 00:08:48,736 --> 00:08:51,781
- I just need to make sure that we have
- all the correct information here,
- 159
- 00:08:51,864 --> 00:08:53,824
- so we aren't just spinning our wheels.
- 160
- 00:08:58,579 --> 00:08:59,413
- Fine.
- 161
- 00:09:04,001 --> 00:09:04,919
- Height?
- 162
- 00:09:05,962 --> 00:09:06,837
- Six-two.
- 163
- 00:09:07,630 --> 00:09:09,674
- Maybe a little taller
- since last time we measured him.
- 164
- 00:09:09,757 --> 00:09:11,842
- -He really shot up this year--
- -Uh-huh. Weight?
- 165
- 00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:20,351
- Uh, 180... 185, thereabouts.
- 166
- 00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:28,234
- Glasses.
- 167
- 00:09:28,734 --> 00:09:29,652
- Hmm.
- 168
- 00:09:30,653 --> 00:09:31,654
- Cornrows.
- 169
- 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,491
- Light green eyes.
- 170
- 00:09:39,036 --> 00:09:39,996
- Okay, good.
- 171
- 00:09:40,079 --> 00:09:43,708
- Uh, do you remember what he was wearing
- when he left last night?
- 172
- 00:09:45,251 --> 00:09:47,670
- I-I don't know.
- Probably jeans and a T-shirt.
- 173
- 00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:51,757
- All right. Does he have
- any distinguishing, you know...
- 174
- 00:09:54,427 --> 00:09:55,595
- Like a birthmark?
- 175
- 00:09:55,678 --> 00:09:59,682
- Yeah. Scars, tattoos, gold teeth.
- That kind of stuff.
- 176
- 00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:02,893
- No. No tattoos. No golds.
- 177
- 00:10:04,645 --> 00:10:07,481
- His only scar is on his stomach,
- right here.
- 178
- 00:10:07,565 --> 00:10:09,108
- Great. And that's from?
- 179
- 00:10:09,191 --> 00:10:11,068
- -The scar?
- -Yeah, where did he get it?
- 180
- 00:10:11,777 --> 00:10:13,529
- You mean, how did he get it?
- 181
- 00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:15,323
- Well, both, I guess, yeah.
- 182
- 00:10:15,406 --> 00:10:16,824
- -Does this matter?
- - Ma'am--
- 183
- 00:10:16,907 --> 00:10:18,576
- -It's not from a gang fight.
- - Okay.
- 184
- 00:10:18,659 --> 00:10:19,869
- -Lady, listen--
- -Officer.
- 185
- 00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:23,539
- Respectfully, are there
- that many 6'2" black boys
- 186
- 00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:25,249
- involved in incidents tonight,
- 187
- 00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:26,959
- you need to know
- if they might just have
- 188
- 00:10:27,043 --> 00:10:28,127
- scars on their tummies?
- 189
- 00:10:28,210 --> 00:10:30,254
- Not unless you want to find him. I mean--
- 190
- 00:10:30,338 --> 00:10:33,424
- Okay, Jamal's sign is Taurus
- with Virgo rising.
- 191
- 00:10:33,507 --> 00:10:35,885
- He's bashful, looks away when he smiles.
- 192
- 00:10:35,968 --> 00:10:38,095
- -Really, I am just looking for...
- -He plays the guitar.
- 193
- 00:10:38,179 --> 00:10:39,847
- -Especially likes blues and rock.
- -Ma'am.
- 194
- 00:10:39,930 --> 00:10:41,557
- -Old '70s and '80s bands.
- - Ma'am--
- 195
- 00:10:41,641 --> 00:10:43,517
- I tried to turn him on to Funkadelic
- 196
- 00:10:43,601 --> 00:10:45,061
- -and DeBarge...
- -Ma'am, I--
- 197
- 00:10:45,144 --> 00:10:46,687
- ...but he's strictly
- mainstream classic stuff.
- 198
- 00:10:46,771 --> 00:10:48,648
- -Clapton. Van Halen.
- - Okay.
- 199
- 00:10:48,731 --> 00:10:50,608
- He throws a mean breaking ball,
- whatever that means.
- 200
- 00:10:50,691 --> 00:10:51,984
- -All right. Listen--
- -He's vegetarian,
- 201
- 00:10:52,068 --> 00:10:54,612
- hates fried chicken,
- and he's afraid of clowns.
- 202
- 00:10:54,695 --> 00:10:56,280
- -Ma'am--
- -He walks like a jock,
- 203
- 00:10:56,364 --> 00:10:59,033
- but he can recite
- almost any Emily Dickinson poem.
- 204
- 00:10:59,116 --> 00:11:00,951
- -Okay.
- -And he still gets a tear in his eye
- 205
- 00:11:01,035 --> 00:11:03,037
- whenever he hears
- "Puff the Magic Dragon."
- 206
- 00:11:08,709 --> 00:11:09,585
- Sorry.
- 207
- 00:11:20,763 --> 00:11:22,598
- I-I love Emily Dickinson.
- 208
- 00:11:24,767 --> 00:11:28,604
- "It is a far, far better thing I do
- than I've ever done.
- 209
- 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,191
- -It is a far, far better..."
- -That's Charles Dickens.
- 210
- 00:11:33,442 --> 00:11:35,945
- Mmm... I don't think so.
- 211
- 00:11:38,155 --> 00:11:40,783
- Anyway, uh, let me see
- what I can find out, okay?
- 212
- 00:11:40,866 --> 00:11:44,704
- Oh, hey, was he angry or upset
- about anything last night?
- 213
- 00:11:45,079 --> 00:11:45,913
- Why?
- 214
- 00:11:46,539 --> 00:11:49,417
- Well, just in case he had a reason to,
- you know, run off
- 215
- 00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:51,460
- and chill for a while.
- 216
- 00:11:52,503 --> 00:11:53,546
- No.
- 217
- 00:11:54,296 --> 00:11:56,298
- -Okay. Cool.
- 218
- 00:11:56,382 --> 00:11:59,135
- -Uh, help yourself to a donut.
- -Really?
- 219
- 00:11:59,218 --> 00:12:01,804
- Yeah. I know. What can I say?
- We really do like 'em.
- 220
- 00:12:04,432 --> 00:12:05,599
- Unbelievable.
- 221
- 00:12:18,112 --> 00:12:20,239
- - Oh, God.
- 222
- 00:12:23,784 --> 00:12:26,036
- Hey, you on your way down here, I hope?
- 223
- 00:12:28,956 --> 00:12:29,957
- O-Okay.
- 224
- 00:12:32,460 --> 00:12:33,377
- Not yet.
- 225
- 00:12:34,795 --> 00:12:35,713
- I don't know.
- 226
- 00:12:36,172 --> 00:12:38,841
- Scott-- No, Scott,
- I said I don't know.
- 227
- 00:12:39,049 --> 00:12:40,509
- I've been trying to find out.
- 228
- 00:12:41,844 --> 00:12:44,513
- Well, because they're being very evasive.
- 229
- 00:12:45,139 --> 00:12:46,974
- I have no idea why.
- 230
- 00:12:47,057 --> 00:12:50,019
- Well, that's not true.
- I have some idea why. I--
- 231
- 00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:52,354
- I am keeping my cool.
- 232
- 00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:53,898
- It's-- It's not helping.
- 233
- 00:12:53,981 --> 00:12:56,400
- That's why it'd be nice if you were here.
- 234
- 00:13:00,196 --> 00:13:02,239
- Well, I called you almost an hour ago.
- 235
- 00:13:05,826 --> 00:13:08,370
- Yeah, I'm keenly aware
- of what time it is.
- 236
- 00:13:10,998 --> 00:13:12,166
- Well, you know what?
- 237
- 00:13:12,249 --> 00:13:14,960
- Maybe if you were home in your own bed
- 238
- 00:13:15,044 --> 00:13:18,964
- instead of sleeping in someone else's,
- we wouldn't be having this discussion.
- 239
- 00:13:20,382 --> 00:13:21,801
- No, I'm not starting.
- 240
- 00:13:22,718 --> 00:13:23,886
- I said I'm not.
- 241
- 00:13:26,514 --> 00:13:29,517
- No, I'm dropping it.
- Okay, but you--
- 242
- 00:13:31,393 --> 00:13:33,479
- In a waiting room somewhere in the back.
- 243
- 00:13:35,689 --> 00:13:39,485
- When you come through the entrance,
- turn left, park in the main lot up front.
- 244
- 00:13:39,568 --> 00:13:40,736
- Go to the info desk.
- 245
- 00:13:41,445 --> 00:13:44,865
- Ask for Officer Larkin. Larkin.
- 246
- 00:13:45,574 --> 00:13:46,992
- I don't know, some...
- 247
- 00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:50,329
- low-level newbie
- who ain't all that bright.
- 248
- 00:13:51,622 --> 00:13:53,457
- Yeah, okay. Bye.
- 249
- 00:13:56,544 --> 00:13:57,503
- Shit.
- 250
- 00:14:46,552 --> 00:14:48,304
- It's Mama again, baby.
- 251
- 00:14:50,514 --> 00:14:52,641
- I know you're still very upset,
- 252
- 00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:57,938
- and... we both said a lot of things
- we shouldn't have last night,
- 253
- 00:14:58,022 --> 00:15:00,316
- but I am worried about you.
- 254
- 00:15:00,774 --> 00:15:02,443
- Please call me.
- 255
- 00:15:15,122 --> 00:15:17,207
- -So?
- - Okay, there was an incident.
- 256
- 00:15:17,291 --> 00:15:18,292
- -An incident!
- -The car--
- 257
- 00:15:18,375 --> 00:15:20,461
- If you will allow me, please.
- 258
- 00:15:25,674 --> 00:15:28,344
- There was an incident. We don't know what.
- 259
- 00:15:29,053 --> 00:15:30,596
- The car was stopped,
- 260
- 00:15:31,221 --> 00:15:33,807
- and there is a pending investigation.
- 261
- 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,978
- What does that mean?
- 262
- 00:15:38,395 --> 00:15:39,605
- That is all I can tell you.
- 263
- 00:15:39,980 --> 00:15:41,315
- Uh, Lieutenant Stokes,
- 264
- 00:15:41,398 --> 00:15:43,275
- he doesn't normally get in
- until about 8:00,
- 265
- 00:15:43,359 --> 00:15:46,487
- and I've been instructed that all further
- information needs to go through him.
- 266
- 00:15:46,570 --> 00:15:47,613
- I'm sorry, who?
- 267
- 00:15:47,696 --> 00:15:48,864
- Lieutenant Stokes.
- 268
- 00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:51,116
- Oh, he's the AM public affairs
- liaison officer.
- 269
- 00:15:51,533 --> 00:15:54,370
- Look, I'm-- I'm pretty new here.
- I don't know him personally.
- 270
- 00:15:54,453 --> 00:15:57,915
- They told me that he's been paged
- to come down here immediately, but--
- 271
- 00:15:57,998 --> 00:16:00,542
- But he might not get here
- for another few hours?
- 272
- 00:16:00,626 --> 00:16:02,544
- -He's been paged.
- -That's when he normally comes in.
- 273
- 00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:03,545
- Apparently.
- 274
- 00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:05,047
- Not acceptable.
- 275
- 00:16:05,130 --> 00:16:06,632
- No, ma'am. It is what it is. I...
- 276
- 00:16:06,715 --> 00:16:08,133
- No. I called the police
- 277
- 00:16:08,217 --> 00:16:09,969
- -at three o'clock in the morning.
- 278
- 00:16:10,052 --> 00:16:12,137
- -I'm told my car's been involved--
- -It's not your car.
- 279
- 00:16:12,221 --> 00:16:13,555
- My son's car!
- 280
- 00:16:16,141 --> 00:16:18,769
- My son is missing.
- 281
- 00:16:18,852 --> 00:16:20,938
- Now you're telling me he's in custody?
- 282
- 00:16:21,021 --> 00:16:23,107
- -No.
- -He might be?
- 283
- 00:16:23,190 --> 00:16:25,651
- -No. We don't know that yet.
- -We don't really know anything yet.
- 284
- 00:16:25,734 --> 00:16:26,652
- We don't know much.
- 285
- 00:16:26,735 --> 00:16:28,737
- -No. That is my point.
- -Is my son in custody or not?
- 286
- 00:16:28,821 --> 00:16:30,447
- I told you,
- you're gonna have to be patient
- 287
- 00:16:30,531 --> 00:16:32,825
- and wait for the AM liaison officer
- to get here.
- 288
- 00:16:32,908 --> 00:16:34,576
- I sat out in that lobby
- almost half an hour
- 289
- 00:16:34,660 --> 00:16:36,286
- before I even got to speak to you.
- 290
- 00:16:36,370 --> 00:16:38,580
- I completely understand your concerns.
- 291
- 00:16:38,664 --> 00:16:40,582
- Respectfully, officer,
- I don't think you do.
- 292
- 00:16:40,666 --> 00:16:42,126
- -Ma'am, I have kids too.
- - Do you?
- 293
- 00:16:42,209 --> 00:16:44,086
- -Okay. I do.
- -How old are they?
- 294
- 00:16:44,169 --> 00:16:46,130
- - Well, they're--
- -Any of them black?
- 295
- 00:16:49,049 --> 00:16:50,134
- Excuse me?
- 296
- 00:16:50,551 --> 00:16:52,594
- Do you have any black sons...
- 297
- 00:16:53,721 --> 00:16:54,763
- this big...
- 298
- 00:16:55,639 --> 00:16:57,808
- who might just be sitting
- in police custody
- 299
- 00:16:57,891 --> 00:16:59,643
- at four o'clock in the morning?
- 300
- 00:17:02,646 --> 00:17:04,982
- -Look, Ms. Connor. I...
- -Ms. Ellis-Connor.
- 301
- 00:17:07,234 --> 00:17:09,153
- -Ms. Ellis-Connor...
- - Mm-hmm?
- 302
- 00:17:09,236 --> 00:17:10,988
- I am doing the best that I can...
- 303
- 00:17:11,071 --> 00:17:13,157
- -Do you have a black son?
- -...to help figure out--
- 304
- 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,992
- Wow. We are really gonna go there?
- 305
- 00:17:15,075 --> 00:17:16,660
- Oh, we've been there for a while.
- 306
- 00:17:19,621 --> 00:17:21,290
- No, ma'am.
- 307
- 00:17:23,667 --> 00:17:24,918
- I have two...
- 308
- 00:17:26,211 --> 00:17:27,963
- young daughters.
- 309
- 00:17:30,132 --> 00:17:31,258
- White daughters.
- 310
- 00:17:39,433 --> 00:17:43,437
- Then let's skip the empathy tactic, okay?
- 311
- 00:17:44,229 --> 00:17:45,731
- Because, believe me...
- 312
- 00:17:47,024 --> 00:17:48,734
- you got no idea.
- 313
- 00:17:52,112 --> 00:17:52,988
- Fine.
- 314
- 00:17:59,495 --> 00:18:00,329
- Whatever.
- 315
- 00:18:00,704 --> 00:18:03,499
- You know what? I really thought
- that we had developed a kind of--
- 316
- 00:18:03,582 --> 00:18:04,750
- Why are you still here?
- 317
- 00:18:04,833 --> 00:18:06,126
- -I'm sorry?
- -Go.
- 318
- 00:18:06,210 --> 00:18:08,045
- - Excuse me?
- -Please. Go find Jamal.
- 319
- 00:18:08,128 --> 00:18:10,380
- -Find my son.
- -I told you, Lieutenant Stokes
- 320
- 00:18:10,464 --> 00:18:12,674
- -will be here any minute.
- -I don't care who's on his way.
- 321
- 00:18:12,758 --> 00:18:14,176
- You got a badge too!
- 322
- 00:18:14,259 --> 00:18:15,594
- -You people...
- -Ma'am.
- 323
- 00:18:15,677 --> 00:18:17,971
- ...got computers and cell phones,
- police radios.
- 324
- 00:18:18,055 --> 00:18:20,307
- You mean to tell me
- you can't walk out that door
- 325
- 00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:23,018
- in five minutes
- and find out where my son is?
- 326
- 00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:24,937
- -Look, I--
- -Where is he?
- 327
- 00:18:25,020 --> 00:18:26,021
- I understand you're tense.
- 328
- 00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:27,731
- -I understand this must be upsetting.
- 329
- 00:18:27,815 --> 00:18:29,650
- -Stop telling me you understand.
- -Ma'am, listen.
- 330
- 00:18:29,733 --> 00:18:31,401
- -And stop calling me "ma'am."
- -Okay.
- 331
- 00:18:33,403 --> 00:18:34,279
- Okay.
- 332
- 00:18:36,657 --> 00:18:37,616
- Listen...
- 333
- 00:18:38,242 --> 00:18:42,162
- as soon
- as Lieutenant Stokes gets here,
- 334
- 00:18:42,246 --> 00:18:45,290
- I am going to see
- that you speak to him immediately.
- 335
- 00:18:45,374 --> 00:18:47,584
- We are gonna find out
- where Jerome is and--
- 336
- 00:18:47,668 --> 00:18:48,794
- Jamal.
- 337
- 00:18:48,877 --> 00:18:50,754
- -Jamal. His name is Jamal!
- -I'm sorry.
- 338
- 00:18:50,838 --> 00:18:52,089
- -I'm sorry. I--
- -God damn it!
- 339
- 00:18:52,172 --> 00:18:54,174
- -Stop screaming at me!
- -Okay! Okay.
- 340
- 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,176
- Okay.
- 341
- 00:19:00,139 --> 00:19:00,973
- All right.
- 342
- 00:19:03,851 --> 00:19:04,726
- Let me--
- 343
- 00:19:07,855 --> 00:19:09,106
- Let me start again.
- 344
- 00:19:13,235 --> 00:19:15,821
- I am... so sorry
- 345
- 00:19:15,904 --> 00:19:19,992
- if I implied or suggested
- any bad faith on your part.
- 346
- 00:19:20,075 --> 00:19:22,744
- I-I completely understand your concerns.
- 347
- 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:25,914
- What?
- 348
- 00:19:28,917 --> 00:19:31,712
- You keep saying that,
- "I-I understand.
- 349
- 00:19:31,795 --> 00:19:34,965
- I... share your concerns."
- 350
- 00:19:35,048 --> 00:19:38,302
- Is that from some HR training video
- or something?
- 351
- 00:19:38,385 --> 00:19:41,305
- -No.
- -"When dealing with a problem personality,
- 352
- 00:19:41,388 --> 00:19:43,515
- -put the person at ease."
- -What?
- 353
- 00:19:43,599 --> 00:19:44,766
- -"Diffuse the situation."
- -No.
- 354
- 00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:46,351
- -"Echo their feelings."
- -I don't know--
- 355
- 00:19:46,435 --> 00:19:49,771
- Look, I have a PhD in psychology.
- I teach at the university. Okay?
- 356
- 00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:51,440
- So I know when I'm being managed.
- 357
- 00:19:51,523 --> 00:19:52,983
- Ma'am. Ms. Connor.
- 358
- 00:19:53,066 --> 00:19:56,278
- -Ellis-Connor.
- -I am not managing you.
- 359
- 00:19:56,361 --> 00:19:58,739
- Jesus. I'm just trying to be nice.
- 360
- 00:20:00,699 --> 00:20:01,617
- Sure.
- 361
- 00:20:03,410 --> 00:20:04,286
- You...
- 362
- 00:20:04,369 --> 00:20:05,204
- Look...
- 363
- 00:20:06,914 --> 00:20:08,207
- we have a protocol.
- 364
- 00:20:19,635 --> 00:20:20,636
- I...
- 365
- 00:20:21,762 --> 00:20:23,889
- Look, I'm supposed to follow it,
- but, you know,
- 366
- 00:20:23,972 --> 00:20:25,432
- let me see if I can...
- 367
- 00:20:26,934 --> 00:20:28,977
- I-- if I can pull a few strings.
- 368
- 00:20:29,937 --> 00:20:32,522
- You know,
- before Lieutenant Stokes gets here.
- 369
- 00:20:33,106 --> 00:20:35,442
- Just get a little more info, okay?
- 370
- 00:20:35,525 --> 00:20:37,986
- -I would really appreciate that.
- -All right, just--
- 371
- 00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:39,696
- Just give me a few minutes.
- 372
- 00:20:41,323 --> 00:20:43,617
- -Do you-- Do you need anything?
- 373
- 00:20:44,117 --> 00:20:47,120
- I swear, I am just being nice.
- 374
- 00:20:56,129 --> 00:20:57,547
- Some water.
- 375
- 00:20:59,341 --> 00:21:01,510
- There is a water fountain down the hall.
- 376
- 00:21:01,593 --> 00:21:02,636
- Great.
- 377
- 00:21:02,719 --> 00:21:04,471
- It's out the door,
- around the corner to your left.
- 378
- 00:21:04,554 --> 00:21:05,889
- -Thank you.
- -There's two, actually.
- 379
- 00:21:05,973 --> 00:21:07,724
- -They're right next to each other.
- -Two doors?
- 380
- 00:21:07,808 --> 00:21:09,101
- No, sorry. Two water fountains.
- 381
- 00:21:09,184 --> 00:21:11,228
- You can't miss them.
- They're right next to each other.
- 382
- 00:21:11,311 --> 00:21:14,523
- It's 'cause the building's really old,
- and when it was built, it was...
- 383
- 00:21:18,318 --> 00:21:19,444
- Segregated?
- 384
- 00:21:23,907 --> 00:21:24,783
- Yeah.
- 385
- 00:21:28,370 --> 00:21:29,329
- There's, um...
- 386
- 00:21:31,331 --> 00:21:33,667
- you know, above--
- above the water fountains,
- 387
- 00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:34,793
- there's, like, um...
- 388
- 00:21:35,627 --> 00:21:37,713
- there's, like, a commemorative plaque...
- 389
- 00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:40,632
- dedicated to, like, the Big Five
- or something.
- 390
- 00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:41,967
- The Big Six.
- 391
- 00:21:42,050 --> 00:21:43,260
- The Big Six!
- 392
- 00:21:43,844 --> 00:21:47,264
- Yeah. Yeah, Abernathy and, uh...
- 393
- 00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:50,309
- I can't remember all of them.
- It's just-- ah, it's...
- 394
- 00:21:50,392 --> 00:21:52,561
- fascinating, you know, just the history.
- 395
- 00:21:54,938 --> 00:21:56,231
- Well, you know, I mean...
- 396
- 00:21:57,441 --> 00:21:58,608
- all they did for...
- 397
- 00:22:01,862 --> 00:22:02,696
- people.
- 398
- 00:22:18,754 --> 00:22:20,297
- Son of a bitch.
- 399
- 00:23:03,548 --> 00:23:06,760
- -Excuse me. Are you--
- -I was just texting Amy to get your ETA.
- 400
- 00:23:06,843 --> 00:23:08,553
- Jesus Christ, what took you so long?
- 401
- 00:23:08,637 --> 00:23:10,222
- -Excuse me?
- -Yeah. I'm sorry, sir.
- 402
- 00:23:10,305 --> 00:23:12,391
- It's just this lady has been
- really difficult and...
- 403
- 00:23:12,474 --> 00:23:13,934
- Yeah. I'm here about Jamal Connor.
- 404
- 00:23:14,643 --> 00:23:16,645
- Right, right.
- And she's gonna be right back so--
- 405
- 00:23:16,728 --> 00:23:18,772
- Okay. So far, um, all I know,
- 406
- 00:23:18,855 --> 00:23:20,107
- the car is pulled over.
- 407
- 00:23:20,190 --> 00:23:23,527
- Uh, three black males in a Lexus,
- like, a late model Lexus,
- 408
- 00:23:23,610 --> 00:23:25,028
- -I think.
- -Okay. Hold on.
- 409
- 00:23:25,112 --> 00:23:26,863
- Expired tags or the driver's texting,
- 410
- 00:23:26,947 --> 00:23:28,698
- not really clear on the reason
- for the stop.
- 411
- 00:23:28,782 --> 00:23:30,242
- -Exigent circumstances, I guess.
- -Okay.
- 412
- 00:23:30,325 --> 00:23:33,203
- There's not much in the system.
- Logged to the General Investigations Unit.
- 413
- 00:23:33,286 --> 00:23:35,414
- -The GIU?
- -Yeah, so, probably no big deal, right?
- 414
- 00:23:35,497 --> 00:23:38,083
- I mean, I got somebody in the GIU
- to give me a little bit of info...
- 415
- 00:23:38,166 --> 00:23:40,544
- -Listen. Slow down.
- -I know that's against protocol.
- 416
- 00:23:40,627 --> 00:23:43,922
- I'm just trying to keep the natives at bay
- until the cavalry arrives, you know?
- 417
- 00:23:44,005 --> 00:23:45,215
- Man, I'm glad you're here.
- 418
- 00:23:45,298 --> 00:23:46,967
- -Sorry. It's Officer Larkin, right?
- -Yeah.
- 419
- 00:23:47,050 --> 00:23:49,052
- Let me just back up,
- make sure I understand what it is...
- 420
- 00:23:49,136 --> 00:23:51,388
- Wait till you see this lady.
- Bitch is totally out of control.
- 421
- 00:23:51,972 --> 00:23:53,473
- I mean, I got kids too.
- 422
- 00:23:53,557 --> 00:23:57,018
- Right? But she went from, like,
- zero to ghetto in nothing flat.
- 423
- 00:23:58,562 --> 00:24:00,105
- Ma'am, this is Lieutenant...
- 424
- 00:24:00,188 --> 00:24:01,022
- -Hey.
- - Hey.
- 425
- 00:24:01,106 --> 00:24:02,816
- -Jesus Christ, Scott.
- - It's okay.
- 426
- 00:24:02,899 --> 00:24:03,984
- Everything's gonna be fine.
- 427
- 00:24:06,736 --> 00:24:07,946
- Where's our son?
- 428
- 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,079
- Lieutenant Stokes is on his way.
- I'm really sorry for the delay.
- 429
- 00:24:16,163 --> 00:24:17,622
- They haven't told me anything, Scott.
- 430
- 00:24:17,706 --> 00:24:18,623
- -Not a thing.
- -Okay.
- 431
- 00:24:18,707 --> 00:24:21,251
- They don't know if Jamal's been arrested
- or if he's in custody.
- 432
- 00:24:21,334 --> 00:24:24,337
- Calm down. I wanna talk
- to the GIU detective interrogating my son.
- 433
- 00:24:24,421 --> 00:24:26,756
- Listen, as I have been telling your...
- 434
- 00:24:27,549 --> 00:24:29,551
- her, I'm not at liberty
- to give you more information.
- 435
- 00:24:29,634 --> 00:24:31,470
- -Now.
- -I'm sorry. Who exactly are you?
- 436
- 00:24:31,553 --> 00:24:33,555
- I'm Scott Connor.
- I'm Jamal Connor's father.
- 437
- 00:24:33,638 --> 00:24:36,099
- -No. I'm talking about...
- -Oh. I'm an FBI agent.
- 438
- 00:24:36,558 --> 00:24:37,392
- Oh.
- 439
- 00:24:38,351 --> 00:24:40,562
- -I'm sorry if that confused you.
- -Yeah...
- 440
- 00:24:40,645 --> 00:24:43,815
- My son's a minor, we have a right to speak
- with him before you interrogate him.
- 441
- 00:24:43,899 --> 00:24:45,775
- -I'm sorry, sir. I'm not authorized--
- -Scott...
- 442
- 00:24:45,859 --> 00:24:48,945
- I don't want you to be sorry. Take me
- to whoever is interrogating my son.
- 443
- 00:24:49,029 --> 00:24:50,405
- -Scott!
- -What?
- 444
- 00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:53,158
- His birthday was last month.
- Remember? He's 18.
- 445
- 00:24:55,327 --> 00:24:56,912
- -Shit. I knew that.
- - It's okay.
- 446
- 00:24:56,995 --> 00:24:58,413
- -Of course.
- -God damn it. I got him the car.
- 447
- 00:24:58,497 --> 00:25:00,081
- -You know I knew that.
- -Hey, I said it's okay.
- 448
- 00:25:00,165 --> 00:25:02,501
- It's four o'clock in the morning.
- I haven't had a cup of coffee.
- 449
- 00:25:02,584 --> 00:25:03,418
- -I understand.
- -Look--
- 450
- 00:25:03,502 --> 00:25:05,253
- Lieutenant Stokes
- should be here very soon.
- 451
- 00:25:05,337 --> 00:25:08,632
- I wanna know what's going on with my son,
- you've been in contact with the detective.
- 452
- 00:25:08,715 --> 00:25:09,674
- I'd like to have a word.
- 453
- 00:25:09,758 --> 00:25:10,926
- - No, sir.
- -Excuse me?
- 454
- 00:25:11,009 --> 00:25:13,845
- I have not been in contact
- with the GIU detective.
- 455
- 00:25:13,929 --> 00:25:15,722
- Two seconds ago,
- you just said you had.
- 456
- 00:25:15,805 --> 00:25:18,016
- No, sir. That is not correct.
- I got somebody in GIU
- 457
- 00:25:18,099 --> 00:25:21,895
- to-- to read me a bit of information,
- secondhand, off the daily log sheet.
- 458
- 00:25:21,978 --> 00:25:22,979
- -That is all.
- -Uh-huh.
- 459
- 00:25:23,063 --> 00:25:25,273
- I've not been able to speak with anybody
- about the case yet.
- 460
- 00:25:25,357 --> 00:25:29,903
- There's a protocol that we have to follow,
- and it involves the AM liaison officer.
- 461
- 00:25:29,986 --> 00:25:32,989
- -And you don't know when he'll be here?
- -Very soon, I hope.
- 462
- 00:25:36,076 --> 00:25:38,828
- But if you'd rather not wait here,
- that's fine.
- 463
- 00:25:38,912 --> 00:25:41,957
- Uh, you can leave me your cell number.
- I'd be happy to call you when he arrives.
- 464
- 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,750
- There's a Denny's on the corner.
- 465
- 00:25:43,833 --> 00:25:46,378
- -Yeah, it's a very short walk.
- -Thank you. We'll wait.
- 466
- 00:25:47,963 --> 00:25:48,797
- Sure.
- 467
- 00:25:49,631 --> 00:25:51,258
- Can I-- Can I get you anything?
- 468
- 00:25:51,341 --> 00:25:52,259
- -Coffee?
- -I'm fine.
- 469
- 00:25:52,342 --> 00:25:53,426
- Coffee would be great.
- 470
- 00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:55,554
- - Cream? Sugar?
- -No, I like it black.
- 471
- 00:25:55,637 --> 00:25:56,513
- Well...
- 472
- 00:26:01,309 --> 00:26:03,353
- Listen, I'm sure
- that this is no big deal.
- 473
- 00:26:03,436 --> 00:26:06,356
- I just started working here,
- but they tell me this happens every night.
- 474
- 00:26:07,357 --> 00:26:10,110
- We have a skeleton crew in admin
- on the late shift.
- 475
- 00:26:10,193 --> 00:26:13,196
- It can take forever for information
- to filter down, so...
- 476
- 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,490
- Well, I apologize if I was, you know...
- 477
- 00:26:15,574 --> 00:26:16,616
- No, not at all.
- 478
- 00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:19,578
- And, listen, I'm really sorry
- about when you came in and I--
- 479
- 00:26:19,661 --> 00:26:21,121
- -Yeah.
- -Sorry about what?
- 480
- 00:26:21,204 --> 00:26:22,122
- Nothing.
- 481
- 00:26:29,170 --> 00:26:30,171
- -FBI, huh?
- -Yeah.
- 482
- 00:26:30,255 --> 00:26:31,464
- -That's awesome.
- - Thanks.
- 483
- 00:26:31,548 --> 00:26:32,549
- It's my dream job.
- 484
- 00:26:32,632 --> 00:26:34,259
- -Is it?
- -Mm-hmm. Behavioral analysis.
- 485
- 00:26:34,342 --> 00:26:35,927
- -Really?
- -Yeah. I applied,
- 486
- 00:26:36,011 --> 00:26:38,054
- but they told me
- I needed investigative experience,
- 487
- 00:26:38,138 --> 00:26:39,431
- which is why I joined the force.
- 488
- 00:26:39,514 --> 00:26:42,017
- Well, I hope you kicked ass
- in differential equations
- 489
- 00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:43,393
- -or whatever...
- - Yeah.
- 490
- 00:26:43,476 --> 00:26:46,187
- BS in Forensics at Jacksonville State.
- Go, Gamecocks!
- 491
- 00:26:46,271 --> 00:26:48,148
- Good. 'Cause those guys
- in the Ted Bundy Brigade,
- 492
- 00:26:48,231 --> 00:26:49,107
- they're smart as hell.
- 493
- 00:26:49,190 --> 00:26:51,401
- The Ted Bundy Brigade,
- that is awesome.
- 494
- 00:26:51,484 --> 00:26:53,111
- Yeah. They don't like to be called that.
- 495
- 00:26:53,194 --> 00:26:55,530
- It's what the rest of us call 'em
- when we wanna piss 'em off.
- 496
- 00:26:55,614 --> 00:26:56,448
- Right.
- 497
- 00:26:56,531 --> 00:26:58,950
- I'd be happy to put a good word in for you
- when the time comes.
- 498
- 00:26:59,034 --> 00:27:00,285
- - Really?
- -Give me a call.
- 499
- 00:27:00,368 --> 00:27:01,494
- That would be so awesome.
- 500
- 00:27:01,578 --> 00:27:02,829
- -Thank you so much.
- - You bet.
- 501
- 00:27:02,912 --> 00:27:04,623
- So, the Lexus.
- 502
- 00:27:04,706 --> 00:27:05,999
- It's registered to me.
- 503
- 00:27:06,374 --> 00:27:07,292
- -The...
- -The car,
- 504
- 00:27:07,375 --> 00:27:09,294
- my son's car, is registered in my name.
- 505
- 00:27:09,377 --> 00:27:10,629
- Scott Alan Connor.
- 506
- 00:27:10,712 --> 00:27:12,881
- -It was a birthday gift.
- - Oh, nice.
- 507
- 00:27:12,964 --> 00:27:15,342
- Yeah. Well, pre-owned.
- Still a little indulgent, I guess...
- 508
- 00:27:15,425 --> 00:27:16,384
- Oh, yeah. Whatever.
- 509
- 00:27:16,468 --> 00:27:17,802
- He worked very hard.
- 510
- 00:27:17,886 --> 00:27:19,512
- -Bit of a reach for us, but...
- -We thought he'd earned it.
- 511
- 00:27:19,596 --> 00:27:21,890
- Anyway, we kept it in my name
- for the insurance.
- 512
- 00:27:21,973 --> 00:27:24,100
- But I can tell all that
- to the GIU guy myself
- 513
- 00:27:24,184 --> 00:27:26,019
- when you bring me down there
- to talk to him.
- 514
- 00:27:26,102 --> 00:27:28,021
- Right. So, coffee...
- 515
- 00:27:28,897 --> 00:27:29,856
- No cream, no sugar.
- 516
- 00:27:29,939 --> 00:27:30,815
- I'm on it.
- 517
- 00:27:40,617 --> 00:27:41,451
- What?
- 518
- 00:27:42,327 --> 00:27:43,453
- -What?
- -Nothing.
- 519
- 00:27:43,536 --> 00:27:45,246
- No, not nothing. What?
- 520
- 00:27:45,330 --> 00:27:47,666
- Why don't you just offer
- to cut and blow out his hair,
- 521
- 00:27:47,749 --> 00:27:49,626
- give him a hand massage, for God's sake?
- 522
- 00:27:49,709 --> 00:27:50,669
- -Kendra.
- -I mean...
- 523
- 00:27:50,752 --> 00:27:52,337
- -I'm just trying to be civil.
- -Whatever.
- 524
- 00:27:52,420 --> 00:27:53,838
- -Acting all crazy...
- -Who's acting crazy?
- 525
- 00:27:53,922 --> 00:27:55,340
- ...isn't gonna help the situation.
- 526
- 00:27:56,007 --> 00:27:57,425
- They have our son.
- 527
- 00:27:58,051 --> 00:28:00,261
- We wanna know where he is.
- They can tell us.
- 528
- 00:28:00,345 --> 00:28:01,346
- This ain't complicated.
- 529
- 00:28:01,429 --> 00:28:02,681
- This is a bureaucracy.
- 530
- 00:28:02,764 --> 00:28:04,974
- I think you're assuming the worst,
- when the truth be told,
- 531
- 00:28:05,058 --> 00:28:06,768
- the current situation
- is probably a whole nother thing.
- 532
- 00:28:06,851 --> 00:28:08,353
- -Oh...
- -Look, I work at a bureaucracy.
- 533
- 00:28:08,436 --> 00:28:10,063
- I'm telling you,
- you're not gonna get anywhere
- 534
- 00:28:10,146 --> 00:28:11,940
- chewing out some low-level yes-man.
- 535
- 00:28:12,023 --> 00:28:13,817
- I've been here for almost an hour.
- 536
- 00:28:13,900 --> 00:28:15,360
- -Look, alls I'm saying--
- -"All."
- 537
- 00:28:15,443 --> 00:28:16,361
- All?
- 538
- 00:28:16,528 --> 00:28:17,904
- "All you're saying."
- 539
- 00:28:17,987 --> 00:28:20,740
- "All" is not plural.
- It's not a possessive.
- 540
- 00:28:20,824 --> 00:28:23,410
- There's no such word as "alls."
- Just "all."
- 541
- 00:28:24,786 --> 00:28:25,870
- Seriously?
- 542
- 00:28:26,496 --> 00:28:28,206
- Jamal doesn't "ax a question."
- 543
- 00:28:28,289 --> 00:28:29,666
- He doesn't speak Ebonics.
- 544
- 00:28:29,749 --> 00:28:32,627
- -You don't get to speak white trash.
- -Oh, Christ, Kendra...
- 545
- 00:28:32,711 --> 00:28:33,670
- "Alls I'm saying."
- 546
- 00:28:33,753 --> 00:28:34,879
- "A whole nother."
- 547
- 00:28:34,963 --> 00:28:36,047
- Just purge that shit.
- 548
- 00:28:36,131 --> 00:28:37,465
- -I'm sorry. "A whole nother"?
- -Yeah.
- 549
- 00:28:37,549 --> 00:28:39,968
- "The current situation is probably
- a whole nother thing."
- 550
- 00:28:40,051 --> 00:28:41,720
- Sweet sweating Jesus, Kendra.
- 551
- 00:28:41,803 --> 00:28:43,304
- -The word is "another." One word.
- -Okay.
- 552
- 00:28:43,388 --> 00:28:45,557
- Don't go shoving the word "whole"
- in the middle of it.
- 553
- 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,684
- Can we not just go off in the weeds
- on some...
- 554
- 00:28:47,767 --> 00:28:49,352
- This isn't "off in the weeds."
- 555
- 00:28:50,395 --> 00:28:53,732
- You know how I killed myself to make sure
- Jamal speaks proper English.
- 556
- 00:28:53,815 --> 00:28:55,900
- -Yeah, believe me, I know. Yeah.
- -Okay? Good.
- 557
- 00:29:05,452 --> 00:29:07,454
- I mean, you just said "ain't"
- two seconds ago,
- 558
- 00:29:07,537 --> 00:29:09,581
- but I ain't allowed to.
- That makes perfect sense.
- 559
- 00:29:09,706 --> 00:29:11,374
- I said "ain't" for emphasis.
- 560
- 00:29:11,458 --> 00:29:13,168
- -You just speak bad English.
- -Jesus.
- 561
- 00:29:13,251 --> 00:29:15,170
- It's like every little thing
- with you lately.
- 562
- 00:29:15,253 --> 00:29:17,088
- No, this isn't every little thing.
- 563
- 00:29:18,339 --> 00:29:22,051
- As hard as I worked to make him fit in,
- 564
- 00:29:22,135 --> 00:29:25,138
- it's a slap in my face
- when you cavalierly lapse
- 565
- 00:29:25,221 --> 00:29:26,681
- into "Okie from Muskogee."
- 566
- 00:29:27,182 --> 00:29:28,183
- Can we just--
- 567
- 00:29:28,683 --> 00:29:30,852
- Let's see if we can get our arms
- around the here and now.
- 568
- 00:29:30,935 --> 00:29:32,854
- Find out where J's at and not, you know,
- 569
- 00:29:32,937 --> 00:29:34,606
- rehash the last five years
- of our marriage.
- 570
- 00:29:34,689 --> 00:29:35,899
- -Would that be okay?
- - Sure.
- 571
- 00:29:35,982 --> 00:29:36,816
- Good.
- 572
- 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,739
- And I've never forced you
- to make him fit in.
- 573
- 00:29:42,822 --> 00:29:44,657
- -Whatever.
- -Hey, I let you name him Jamal.
- 574
- 00:29:44,741 --> 00:29:46,284
- -Didn't I?
- -"Let me"?
- 575
- 00:29:46,743 --> 00:29:48,036
- -Here we go again.
- -Right?
- 576
- 00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:49,370
- Baby, I'm sorry,
- 577
- 00:29:49,454 --> 00:29:52,248
- I love your Irish people and all,
- 578
- 00:29:52,332 --> 00:29:54,667
- but I simply wasn't gonna go through life
- with a son named--
- 579
- 00:29:54,751 --> 00:29:57,003
- What was it you were putting on the table
- at the time?
- 580
- 00:29:57,378 --> 00:29:58,546
- Seamus.
- 581
- 00:29:58,630 --> 00:30:01,132
- - Hell, no.
- 582
- 00:30:01,549 --> 00:30:04,469
- I'd have gone with something else.
- Liam, Aidan...
- 583
- 00:30:04,552 --> 00:30:05,595
- Lord.
- 584
- 00:30:08,932 --> 00:30:11,226
- I needed to commemorate my brother.
- 585
- 00:30:14,938 --> 00:30:16,648
- I thought you understood that.
- 586
- 00:30:17,357 --> 00:30:18,191
- I did.
- 587
- 00:30:19,567 --> 00:30:20,401
- You know...
- 588
- 00:30:20,902 --> 00:30:23,863
- you may not remember,
- but in Arabic, Jamal means beauty.
- 589
- 00:30:23,947 --> 00:30:25,824
- Means beauty. Yes, how could I forget?
- 590
- 00:30:27,242 --> 00:30:29,244
- "Hey, Beauty.
- You wanna toss a football around?"
- 591
- 00:30:29,327 --> 00:30:31,246
- -I can't wait 'til he's 21
- 592
- 00:30:31,329 --> 00:30:33,540
- so me and the guys can head on over
- to the tavern
- 593
- 00:30:33,623 --> 00:30:35,667
- and hoist a glass of whiskey
- with ol' Beauty.
- 594
- 00:30:35,750 --> 00:30:37,085
- -My, oh, my.
- -Maybe he'll bring his friends
- 595
- 00:30:37,168 --> 00:30:39,712
- Chastity and Mother's Milk
- along as designated drivers.
- 596
- 00:30:39,796 --> 00:30:41,756
- Is your sense of masculinity
- really that delicate?
- 597
- 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,342
- -Of course not, Kenny. Come on.
- 598
- 00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:46,427
- It's just a hell of a fun button to push.
- 599
- 00:30:46,511 --> 00:30:49,305
- His name is fine, all right?
- 600
- 00:30:52,267 --> 00:30:54,227
- You can't even say it half the time.
- 601
- 00:30:55,228 --> 00:30:57,188
- It's always "J" this, "J" that.
- 602
- 00:30:57,272 --> 00:31:00,608
- Oh, come on. I got a nickname for my son.
- That's just a male bonding thing.
- 603
- 00:31:00,692 --> 00:31:01,901
- Just man up and say it.
- 604
- 00:31:01,985 --> 00:31:03,695
- You've always hated his name...
- 605
- 00:31:03,987 --> 00:31:05,405
- because it's too black.
- 606
- 00:31:05,905 --> 00:31:07,156
- You're the one who just said
- 607
- 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,243
- -Seamus was too Irish.
- -You think his name's a handicap.
- 608
- 00:31:10,326 --> 00:31:12,620
- Well, you know what? On a scale from...
- 609
- 00:31:13,121 --> 00:31:16,583
- Eric Holder to, you know, Darnell Jackson,
- 610
- 00:31:17,417 --> 00:31:19,586
- Jamal is brushing
- right up against Darnell.
- 611
- 00:31:21,504 --> 00:31:25,383
- It must be terrible feeling so alienated
- from your own flesh and blood.
- 612
- 00:31:26,259 --> 00:31:29,387
- Hey, I'd challenge hell's furies
- for that kid, and you know that.
- 613
- 00:31:31,180 --> 00:31:32,181
- My only son.
- 614
- 00:31:36,936 --> 00:31:40,106
- -Should we try calling him again?
- -I've already tried about 15 times.
- 615
- 00:31:40,189 --> 00:31:41,608
- I just keep getting his voicemail.
- 616
- 00:31:41,691 --> 00:31:44,611
- Yeah, me too.
- "Hey, this is Jamal. Have a blessed day."
- 617
- 00:31:44,694 --> 00:31:46,446
- When did that bullshit start?
- 618
- 00:31:46,654 --> 00:31:48,698
- He's been going
- with me and Mama to church.
- 619
- 00:31:50,408 --> 00:31:51,743
- Thank you, by the way.
- 620
- 00:31:51,826 --> 00:31:53,870
- - For what?
- -For taking her to dialysis.
- 621
- 00:31:53,953 --> 00:31:55,830
- - Oh, please.
- -No, it's a huge help.
- 622
- 00:31:55,914 --> 00:31:57,540
- Bobby's like my own mother, you know that.
- 623
- 00:31:57,624 --> 00:31:59,292
- - I know.
- -She is a tough old broad.
- 624
- 00:31:59,375 --> 00:32:02,253
- She thinks the sun rises and sets on you.
- 625
- 00:32:05,924 --> 00:32:07,926
- She blames me for all of this.
- 626
- 00:32:17,268 --> 00:32:18,353
- You look good.
- 627
- 00:32:18,436 --> 00:32:20,063
- -Oh, Jesus.
- - Well, you do.
- 628
- 00:32:20,146 --> 00:32:21,397
- Please don't go there.
- 629
- 00:32:21,481 --> 00:32:23,358
- We haven't really
- seen each other since... you know.
- 630
- 00:32:23,441 --> 00:32:24,984
- -Oh, I know.
- -Oh, can't I just notice?
- 631
- 00:32:25,068 --> 00:32:26,152
- What did you expect, Scott?
- 632
- 00:32:26,235 --> 00:32:28,488
- Four months without you,
- and I'd completely fall apart?
- 633
- 00:32:28,571 --> 00:32:29,822
- Is that what you were hoping?
- 634
- 00:32:29,906 --> 00:32:32,367
- -Christ. Forget I said anything.
- -Yes! Let's just forget it.
- 635
- 00:32:32,450 --> 00:32:35,286
- Let's just find our son and go back
- to our respective corners, okay?
- 636
- 00:32:35,370 --> 00:32:36,704
- - Fine.
- 637
- 00:32:39,791 --> 00:32:40,708
- Is it Jamal?
- 638
- 00:32:42,210 --> 00:32:43,211
- No.
- 639
- 00:32:43,795 --> 00:32:45,713
- So, where was he last night?
- 640
- 00:32:45,797 --> 00:32:47,298
- -I assume he went out.
- -Yeah.
- 641
- 00:32:47,382 --> 00:32:48,549
- -With who?
- -I don't know.
- 642
- 00:32:48,633 --> 00:32:49,467
- You don't know?
- 643
- 00:32:49,550 --> 00:32:52,011
- -Why should I know?
- -Jesus Christ. Kendra.
- 644
- 00:32:52,095 --> 00:32:53,972
- I don't grill him every time
- he leaves the house.
- 645
- 00:32:54,055 --> 00:32:55,682
- He's a grown man. I trust his judgment.
- 646
- 00:32:55,765 --> 00:32:57,976
- You're the one who insisted
- that J live with you.
- 647
- 00:32:58,059 --> 00:32:59,310
- -Which I was okay with.
- 648
- 00:32:59,394 --> 00:33:01,229
- But you took on an obligation
- to be responsible--
- 649
- 00:33:01,312 --> 00:33:03,940
- I thought we weren't going to rehash
- our entire relationship?
- 650
- 00:33:04,023 --> 00:33:05,274
- -Okay. Fine.
- - Fine.
- 651
- 00:33:05,358 --> 00:33:06,818
- It's just, I hate to keep harping on it,
- 652
- 00:33:06,901 --> 00:33:09,195
- but this kid's going to West Point
- in, like, a month.
- 653
- 00:33:09,278 --> 00:33:11,990
- -It is just not acceptable that he--
- -Here we go.
- 654
- 00:33:12,073 --> 00:33:13,241
- It's not, Kenny.
- 655
- 00:33:15,368 --> 00:33:18,329
- Last few times he stayed at my place,
- he looked like a goddamned gangster.
- 656
- 00:33:18,413 --> 00:33:19,706
- A gangster?
- 657
- 00:33:19,789 --> 00:33:21,541
- Yeah. A "gangsta." There, I said it.
- 658
- 00:33:21,624 --> 00:33:24,252
- Why? Because he's not wearing
- Brooks Brothers?
- 659
- 00:33:24,335 --> 00:33:26,587
- Oh, the baggy pants, the cornrows,
- 660
- 00:33:26,671 --> 00:33:30,341
- that stupid loping,
- surly walk he suddenly developed.
- 661
- 00:33:30,425 --> 00:33:32,218
- He's a teenage boy, okay?
- 662
- 00:33:32,301 --> 00:33:35,221
- -A second ago he was a grown man.
- -He's just trying to figure out who he is.
- 663
- 00:33:35,304 --> 00:33:38,099
- -Oh, he's trying to figure out who he is?
- -Explore his own identity.
- 664
- 00:33:38,182 --> 00:33:39,726
- Christ almighty. Today it's cornrows,
- 665
- 00:33:39,809 --> 00:33:42,395
- tomorrow he'll be out helping OJ
- find the real killer.
- 666
- 00:33:42,478 --> 00:33:45,356
- Okay. See that right there?
- Comments like that...
- 667
- 00:33:46,107 --> 00:33:49,152
- You just don't get it.
- His world is not your world, Scott.
- 668
- 00:33:49,235 --> 00:33:51,112
- Oh, yes, it is. It most certainly is.
- 669
- 00:33:51,195 --> 00:33:53,948
- Look, I completely appreciate
- how you had to grow up.
- 670
- 00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:56,617
- Okay? The hard streets of Liberty City.
- 671
- 00:33:56,701 --> 00:33:58,953
- Interstate cutting through. Redlining.
- All of that.
- 672
- 00:33:59,037 --> 00:34:00,997
- I admire it. I always have.
- 673
- 00:34:02,081 --> 00:34:03,583
- It's one of the many reasons I...
- 674
- 00:34:06,878 --> 00:34:07,754
- You what?
- 675
- 00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:14,635
- -You what?
- -His world is not that world.
- 676
- 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,804
- His world is definitely my world.
- 677
- 00:34:16,888 --> 00:34:18,890
- We worked hard to make it my world.
- 678
- 00:34:18,973 --> 00:34:21,100
- We spent almost
- a quarter of a million dollars
- 679
- 00:34:21,184 --> 00:34:23,436
- putting that kid
- through the best prep schools in the city.
- 680
- 00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:25,646
- He grew up in Coral Gables,
- for Christ's sake.
- 681
- 00:34:25,730 --> 00:34:27,106
- He's had every possible advantage.
- 682
- 00:34:27,190 --> 00:34:29,484
- I simply will not accept him
- regressing into...
- 683
- 00:34:29,567 --> 00:34:31,027
- Into what?
- 684
- 00:34:32,487 --> 00:34:33,696
- Just say it, Scott.
- 685
- 00:34:33,780 --> 00:34:36,866
- That young man has no excuse
- for getting himself into this situation.
- 686
- 00:34:36,949 --> 00:34:38,326
- What situation?
- 687
- 00:34:38,743 --> 00:34:40,411
- We don't even know what happened yet.
- 688
- 00:34:40,495 --> 00:34:42,705
- Something happened.
- I can take a pretty good guess what.
- 689
- 00:34:42,789 --> 00:34:46,417
- Why are you automatically gonna blame him
- before you even know anything?
- 690
- 00:34:46,501 --> 00:34:48,002
- You know he's driving around
- with two black kids?
- 691
- 00:34:48,086 --> 00:34:48,920
- Oh, God forbid.
- 692
- 00:34:49,003 --> 00:34:50,463
- Oh, please don't. Don't do that.
- 693
- 00:34:50,588 --> 00:34:51,422
- Are you kidding me?
- 694
- 00:34:51,506 --> 00:34:54,717
- Look, Kenny, it's just you and me in here,
- so you can quit with the performance art.
- 695
- 00:34:54,801 --> 00:34:56,094
- -Seriously?
- -Kendra, come on.
- 696
- 00:34:56,177 --> 00:34:58,513
- He was out with two other black kids,
- that's the issue here?
- 697
- 00:34:58,596 --> 00:34:59,847
- I mean what if--
- 698
- 00:35:03,518 --> 00:35:05,186
- How do you know who he was with?
- 699
- 00:35:08,064 --> 00:35:08,940
- This guy.
- 700
- 00:35:10,358 --> 00:35:11,567
- -This cop?
- -Yeah.
- 701
- 00:35:11,651 --> 00:35:13,861
- -Well... when?
- -When I walked in.
- 702
- 00:35:18,157 --> 00:35:21,327
- So the whole hour I'm here,
- he doesn't know a thing.
- 703
- 00:35:21,410 --> 00:35:24,580
- The minute you walk in the door,
- he's full of answers.
- 704
- 00:35:24,664 --> 00:35:26,332
- I wouldn't necessarily say
- "full of answers."
- 705
- 00:35:26,415 --> 00:35:28,209
- But he told you Jamal was in a car
- with two kids?
- 706
- 00:35:28,292 --> 00:35:29,752
- -They were stopped.
- -Two other black kids.
- 707
- 00:35:29,836 --> 00:35:31,796
- -Yeah.
- -Well, he never told me any of that.
- 708
- 00:35:31,879 --> 00:35:33,089
- I wonder why that might be.
- 709
- 00:35:33,172 --> 00:35:36,134
- Right now, I don't really care.
- I just wanna know who they are.
- 710
- 00:35:36,217 --> 00:35:37,802
- Didn't your new buddy there tell you?
- 711
- 00:35:37,885 --> 00:35:38,803
- No.
- 712
- 00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:41,681
- And I think you'll agree this demonstrates
- 713
- 00:35:41,764 --> 00:35:43,349
- -some pretty questionable judgment.
- -No.
- 714
- 00:35:43,432 --> 00:35:44,767
- -Not necessarily.
- -Really?
- 715
- 00:35:44,851 --> 00:35:47,311
- He's got a right to be in a car
- with his friends
- 716
- 00:35:47,395 --> 00:35:49,438
- without getting dragged downtown
- at 3:00 a.m.
- 717
- 00:35:49,522 --> 00:35:51,065
- No one's saying
- he doesn't have a right--
- 718
- 00:35:51,149 --> 00:35:52,859
- Even if he's in a car
- with his black friends!
- 719
- 00:35:52,942 --> 00:35:54,569
- -What black friends?
- -Oh, Scott, come on.
- 720
- 00:35:54,652 --> 00:35:55,611
- What are you--
- 721
- 00:35:56,195 --> 00:35:57,572
- Can't you see what you're saying?
- 722
- 00:35:57,655 --> 00:35:59,615
- This is exactly what I'm saying.
- Listen to me.
- 723
- 00:35:59,699 --> 00:36:00,783
- What black friends?
- 724
- 00:36:00,867 --> 00:36:02,034
- Was he with Jeffrey?
- 725
- 00:36:03,035 --> 00:36:06,080
- Was he out with Nate or Manny?
- Kids that we know and trust?
- 726
- 00:36:06,164 --> 00:36:08,374
- -Because that'd be one thing.
- -I told you, I don't know.
- 727
- 00:36:08,457 --> 00:36:10,084
- No. And he certainly wasn't out with Al.
- 728
- 00:36:10,168 --> 00:36:12,170
- No. Al's in Europe with his family
- on vacation.
- 729
- 00:36:12,253 --> 00:36:15,047
- Yeah. And Al is the only black kid
- he hangs out with,
- 730
- 00:36:15,131 --> 00:36:18,217
- -which is exactly my point.
- -Funny. That's exactly my point.
- 731
- 00:36:18,301 --> 00:36:21,179
- -Oh, look, Kendra, I--
- -You think our bougie son
- 732
- 00:36:21,262 --> 00:36:23,598
- has no right to associate
- with other black kids
- 733
- 00:36:23,681 --> 00:36:26,142
- without stamping a presumption of guilt
- all over himself?
- 734
- 00:36:27,018 --> 00:36:30,938
- No. I think our half-white, half-black,
- who-gives-a-shit-what-race-he-is son...
- 735
- 00:36:31,522 --> 00:36:34,650
- The one who got 1470 on his SATs
- and aced AP Physics,
- 736
- 00:36:34,734 --> 00:36:36,861
- knows better than to commit
- unforced errors in life
- 737
- 00:36:36,944 --> 00:36:38,196
- by taking stupid risks.
- 738
- 00:36:39,113 --> 00:36:41,657
- Especially, when he is on the cusp
- of doing great things.
- 739
- 00:36:41,741 --> 00:36:44,493
- I think he understands that,
- like it or not,
- 740
- 00:36:45,203 --> 00:36:47,830
- the way that you present yourself in life
- has consequences.
- 741
- 00:36:47,914 --> 00:36:50,541
- If you wear your pants
- halfway down your ass
- 742
- 00:36:50,625 --> 00:36:52,501
- and ghetto hair, then you got--
- 743
- 00:36:52,585 --> 00:36:54,503
- Then you got no right to complain
- when you walk by
- 744
- 00:36:54,587 --> 00:36:56,505
- and a white lady clutches her purse?
- 745
- 00:36:57,048 --> 00:36:59,217
- You got no right to complain
- when you walk by
- 746
- 00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:00,843
- and any lady clutches her purse.
- 747
- 00:37:00,927 --> 00:37:02,929
- No. No, no, no, no, no. That is not-- No.
- 748
- 00:37:03,012 --> 00:37:05,765
- You are saying that associating
- with other black kids
- 749
- 00:37:05,848 --> 00:37:07,266
- is taking a stupid risk.
- 750
- 00:37:07,350 --> 00:37:09,143
- Oh, come on, Kenny,
- that's not what I'm saying.
- 751
- 00:37:09,227 --> 00:37:10,436
- -Let me ask you.
- -You know that!
- 752
- 00:37:10,519 --> 00:37:12,772
- If this little asshole had told you
- that Jamal was in a car
- 753
- 00:37:12,855 --> 00:37:15,983
- with two white boys he barely knew,
- would you be blaming him then?
- 754
- 00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:17,652
- Would that be an unforced error?
- 755
- 00:37:17,735 --> 00:37:19,362
- If I didn't know 'em, if I hadn't met 'em,
- 756
- 00:37:19,445 --> 00:37:21,447
- black or white,
- you're damn right, it would be.
- 757
- 00:37:21,530 --> 00:37:22,740
- Scott...
- 758
- 00:37:23,241 --> 00:37:26,077
- no matter how many privileges he's got,
- 759
- 00:37:26,619 --> 00:37:29,872
- the world still looks at him
- like it looks at me,
- 760
- 00:37:30,748 --> 00:37:31,582
- not you.
- 761
- 00:37:31,666 --> 00:37:32,500
- Oh, boy.
- 762
- 00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:35,419
- I tell you,
- I can see exactly what's been going on.
- 763
- 00:37:35,503 --> 00:37:38,172
- I'm out of the house a few months,
- and sure enough,
- 764
- 00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:39,382
- you are filling his mind
- 765
- 00:37:39,465 --> 00:37:41,509
- full of victimhood psychobabble.
- 766
- 00:37:41,592 --> 00:37:43,761
- -Oh, you know what?
- -"Pity me! Pity me!"
- 767
- 00:37:43,844 --> 00:37:45,471
- -I've done nothing of the sort.
- - Yeah.
- 768
- 00:37:45,554 --> 00:37:47,056
- Instead of pointing a finger at me,
- 769
- 00:37:47,139 --> 00:37:49,308
- maybe you ought to be looking
- in the mirror.
- 770
- 00:37:49,392 --> 00:37:50,476
- Oh, this is my fault now?
- 771
- 00:37:50,559 --> 00:37:54,188
- Well, you're the one who disappeared
- at the pivotal moment in his life.
- 772
- 00:37:54,272 --> 00:37:55,314
- Excuse me?
- 773
- 00:37:55,398 --> 00:37:57,275
- You know exactly what I'm saying.
- 774
- 00:37:57,358 --> 00:37:59,819
- I coached his baseball team for ten years.
- 775
- 00:37:59,902 --> 00:38:02,321
- -Mmm.
- -I went to every one of his concerts.
- 776
- 00:38:02,405 --> 00:38:03,990
- Have I ever missed a banquet
- 777
- 00:38:04,073 --> 00:38:05,491
- or a game or an event or a meet?
- 778
- 00:38:05,574 --> 00:38:08,077
- -That's not what I'm talking about.
- -What are you talking about?
- 779
- 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,620
- You walked out on him.
- 780
- 00:38:13,874 --> 00:38:14,792
- I did not.
- 781
- 00:38:14,875 --> 00:38:16,294
- -Yes, you did.
- -Bullshit.
- 782
- 00:38:16,377 --> 00:38:17,420
- -You did.
- -No, I didn't.
- 783
- 00:38:17,503 --> 00:38:19,463
- I'm sorry, but that is exactly what you--
- 784
- 00:38:19,547 --> 00:38:20,798
- - You know what?
- -You did!
- 785
- 00:38:20,923 --> 00:38:22,133
- You up and walked out on him.
- 786
- 00:38:22,216 --> 00:38:24,427
- I didn't walk out on him.
- I walked out on you.
- 787
- 00:38:31,517 --> 00:38:32,351
- Oh.
- 788
- 00:38:32,935 --> 00:38:35,021
- I didn't mean for it
- to come out like that.
- 789
- 00:38:46,991 --> 00:38:47,825
- I just--
- 790
- 00:38:48,784 --> 00:38:52,163
- I'm so sick and tired of having
- the same frickin' argument with you
- 791
- 00:38:52,246 --> 00:38:55,624
- over and over and over again.
- That is what I walked away from. Not--
- 792
- 00:38:56,751 --> 00:38:57,626
- You know.
- 793
- 00:39:01,797 --> 00:39:03,758
- Shit. Kenny, I'm sorry.
- 794
- 00:39:03,841 --> 00:39:05,092
- -Stop.
- -I didn't mean to...
- 795
- 00:39:05,176 --> 00:39:07,261
- Just put the shovel down
- and stop digging.
- 796
- 00:39:07,345 --> 00:39:10,473
- Listen, J is on his way to being
- a commissioned officer
- 797
- 00:39:10,556 --> 00:39:12,975
- at one of the most elite institutions
- on Earth.
- 798
- 00:39:13,059 --> 00:39:14,143
- My job is done.
- 799
- 00:39:14,226 --> 00:39:15,644
- He is a man now.
- 800
- 00:39:16,103 --> 00:39:17,355
- A man I am so proud of.
- 801
- 00:39:17,438 --> 00:39:18,272
- I know.
- 802
- 00:39:18,356 --> 00:39:22,610
- So I cannot-- I cannot have you telling me
- I didn't do my job as a father.
- 803
- 00:39:23,110 --> 00:39:23,986
- Okay.
- 804
- 00:39:26,864 --> 00:39:28,824
- -I am not your father, Kendra.
- - Okay.
- 805
- 00:39:28,908 --> 00:39:30,951
- -That's what walking out looks like.
- -All right.
- 806
- 00:39:31,035 --> 00:39:32,119
- -So don't. Don't.
- -Scott.
- 807
- 00:39:32,203 --> 00:39:33,954
- -Please. Please.
- -I said I get it.
- 808
- 00:39:56,727 --> 00:39:57,561
- Hey.
- 809
- 00:39:59,313 --> 00:40:00,648
- - Kenny.
- 810
- 00:40:04,276 --> 00:40:06,070
- Everything's gonna be fine, all right?
- 811
- 00:40:06,153 --> 00:40:08,114
- -Let's just try and relax.
- 812
- 00:40:14,578 --> 00:40:17,748
- This time of night, I always get agitated.
- 813
- 00:40:19,583 --> 00:40:21,585
- You have no idea.
- 814
- 00:40:22,545 --> 00:40:25,464
- I'm usually awake about this time.
- 815
- 00:40:25,548 --> 00:40:29,051
- I don't know I've had a sleep-filled night
- since that boy was born.
- 816
- 00:40:35,808 --> 00:40:39,937
- Most nights, my eyes fire wide open
- out of a sound sleep.
- 817
- 00:40:40,354 --> 00:40:44,358
- Heart beating so hard
- I feel it throbbing in my ears.
- 818
- 00:40:44,733 --> 00:40:46,694
- Always right about this time.
- 819
- 00:40:49,822 --> 00:40:52,032
- Too late to go back to sleep...
- 820
- 00:40:53,951 --> 00:40:55,995
- too early to get on with the day.
- 821
- 00:41:00,499 --> 00:41:05,004
- You... just snoring away.
- 822
- 00:41:11,969 --> 00:41:15,097
- Usually, I go stand
- in the door to his room...
- 823
- 00:41:18,142 --> 00:41:20,102
- and listen to him breathe.
- 824
- 00:41:22,980 --> 00:41:28,277
- Sometimes I go in and...
- touch the muscle on his neck.
- 825
- 00:41:30,863 --> 00:41:32,239
- Or shoulder.
- 826
- 00:41:34,533 --> 00:41:36,744
- Stand there and bullshit myself,
- 827
- 00:41:36,827 --> 00:41:41,832
- "Don't worry, Kendra,
- he is big and powerful.
- 828
- 00:41:41,916 --> 00:41:43,375
- This world can't hurt him."
- 829
- 00:41:46,045 --> 00:41:51,425
- Until that nagging feeling comes back,
- and I dwell on how fragile he is.
- 830
- 00:41:53,427 --> 00:41:56,263
- And whatever nightmare
- that has just woke me up,
- 831
- 00:41:56,347 --> 00:42:01,101
- someone texting in an SUV
- or an errant punch in a bar fight,
- 832
- 00:42:01,477 --> 00:42:03,479
- a ruptured appendix
- 833
- 00:42:03,562 --> 00:42:06,232
- in some third world country. Most...
- 834
- 00:42:06,315 --> 00:42:09,610
- Most mothers can sit there in the dark
- and get rational,
- 835
- 00:42:09,693 --> 00:42:10,736
- go back to sleep.
- 836
- 00:42:10,819 --> 00:42:15,908
- But sometimes, in my nightmares,
- I see nooses and crosses
- 837
- 00:42:15,991 --> 00:42:19,286
- and white men with Brylcreem crew cuts.
- 838
- 00:42:33,092 --> 00:42:37,846
- Last summer... when Jamal
- wanted to drive with Jeff to Bonnaroo,
- 839
- 00:42:37,930 --> 00:42:41,725
- -I was-- I just...
- - No, look, J and I just thought
- 840
- 00:42:41,809 --> 00:42:43,978
- you were a little over-the-top
- with the mother hen thing,
- 841
- 00:42:44,061 --> 00:42:45,354
- thinking he was too young.
- 842
- 00:42:45,437 --> 00:42:47,356
- -Too young?
- - We disagreed and we moved on.
- 843
- 00:42:47,439 --> 00:42:49,108
- Too young
- had nothing to do with that shit.
- 844
- 00:42:49,191 --> 00:42:52,570
- My granddaddy was fighting in Okinawa
- when he was 17.
- 845
- 00:42:52,653 --> 00:42:53,862
- Too young?
- 846
- 00:42:56,323 --> 00:42:57,449
- It wasn't that.
- 847
- 00:42:58,742 --> 00:43:04,206
- It was the prospect of him
- driving through the Deep South.
- 848
- 00:43:06,041 --> 00:43:09,712
- My son, alone with a white boy
- 849
- 00:43:09,795 --> 00:43:12,965
- driving Sherman's March to the Sea
- in reverse.
- 850
- 00:43:15,551 --> 00:43:19,763
- Maybe he and Jeff stopped
- to get gas in some little town
- 851
- 00:43:19,847 --> 00:43:21,432
- 'cause he doesn't know any better
- 852
- 00:43:21,515 --> 00:43:25,227
- because we raised him to believe
- that the world is full--
- 853
- 00:43:26,395 --> 00:43:27,855
- full of goodness.
- 854
- 00:43:30,566 --> 00:43:35,279
- And he starts batting his doe eyes
- at some cute little white girl.
- 855
- 00:43:38,115 --> 00:43:40,534
- Maybe the two of them walk
- into a burger joint,
- 856
- 00:43:40,993 --> 00:43:43,203
- happens to be an alt-right hangout.
- 857
- 00:43:46,665 --> 00:43:52,004
- Maybe... some guy with a swastika
- tattooed to his biceps
- 858
- 00:43:52,087 --> 00:43:54,298
- had a little too much to drink, and...
- 859
- 00:43:55,883 --> 00:43:58,927
- doesn't like the look...
- of this boy
- 860
- 00:43:59,011 --> 00:44:02,389
- who's poisoning
- the country's racial purity.
- 861
- 00:44:03,307 --> 00:44:06,518
- But the worst one,
- the one that always comes back,
- 862
- 00:44:06,602 --> 00:44:10,439
- is I see him getting stopped by a cop
- for doing nothing in particular.
- 863
- 00:44:10,522 --> 00:44:13,192
- And I see ankle-high boots and...
- 864
- 00:44:15,027 --> 00:44:16,070
- badges...
- 865
- 00:44:19,073 --> 00:44:21,033
- and nightsticks.
- 866
- 00:44:25,829 --> 00:44:28,332
- And I think back on that night I was...
- 867
- 00:44:30,584 --> 00:44:32,294
- five years old...
- 868
- 00:44:32,378 --> 00:44:36,632
- and watched
- my stoic mother doubled over,
- 869
- 00:44:37,174 --> 00:44:38,926
- sobbing in the kitchen
- 870
- 00:44:39,009 --> 00:44:42,137
- because Arthur McDuffie
- had been beaten to death by the cops...
- 871
- 00:44:42,221 --> 00:44:44,682
- ...and they'd acquitted those cops.
- 872
- 00:44:49,061 --> 00:44:54,441
- And you... were a little boy
- asleep on the other side of town,
- 873
- 00:44:54,525 --> 00:44:56,819
- dreaming of becoming one.
- 874
- 00:45:00,322 --> 00:45:01,949
- I'm scared.
- 875
- 00:45:02,032 --> 00:45:03,200
- Don't be scared.
- 876
- 00:45:03,283 --> 00:45:04,118
- - Yeah?
- -Yeah.
- 877
- 00:45:04,201 --> 00:45:05,661
- This is just some frivolous nonsense.
- 878
- 00:45:05,744 --> 00:45:07,621
- They probably had
- the music cranked up too loud.
- 879
- 00:45:07,705 --> 00:45:09,915
- -You think?
- -Yeah, you know how he likes to do.
- 880
- 00:45:12,626 --> 00:45:15,337
- Or his buddies had a couple of beers
- in the back seat, stupid shit,
- 881
- 00:45:15,421 --> 00:45:17,172
- kids sowing wild oats.
- 882
- 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,928
- But let's not piss these people off, okay?
- 883
- 00:45:25,055 --> 00:45:25,889
- Let's just...
- 884
- 00:45:27,266 --> 00:45:28,308
- keep calm.
- 885
- 00:45:29,226 --> 00:45:31,770
- Half an hour,
- the three of us will be at Denny's...
- 886
- 00:45:33,605 --> 00:45:35,566
- having a teachable moment.
- 887
- 00:45:42,030 --> 00:45:43,991
- Have you talked to him recently?
- 888
- 00:45:44,450 --> 00:45:45,576
- I talk to him every day.
- 889
- 00:45:45,659 --> 00:45:47,369
- -Texting mostly, but...
- - No.
- 890
- 00:45:47,453 --> 00:45:51,165
- I mean, have you talked to him about...
- 891
- 00:45:51,248 --> 00:45:52,291
- About what?
- 892
- 00:45:53,333 --> 00:45:54,376
- West Point.
- 893
- 00:45:55,627 --> 00:45:56,628
- What about it?
- 894
- 00:45:57,254 --> 00:45:59,757
- -I don't wanna get in the middle of this.
- - What about it?
- 895
- 00:46:01,550 --> 00:46:03,135
- -Well, he's...
- - He's what?
- 896
- 00:46:03,218 --> 00:46:04,803
- He's rethinking it.
- 897
- 00:46:06,388 --> 00:46:07,806
- He's rethinking what?
- 898
- 00:46:10,017 --> 00:46:11,393
- You should talk to him.
- 899
- 00:46:11,477 --> 00:46:12,770
- About what, Kendra?
- 900
- 00:46:15,230 --> 00:46:17,983
- He's thinking about taking
- the farm team contract.
- 901
- 00:46:18,817 --> 00:46:20,903
- Or maybe seeing
- where the guitar thing might go.
- 902
- 00:46:20,986 --> 00:46:21,987
- Really?
- 903
- 00:46:22,070 --> 00:46:23,697
- -Listen...
- -Jesus Christ, Kenny. Again?
- 904
- 00:46:23,781 --> 00:46:26,033
- It'd probably just be a deferment.
- He's afraid to tell you.
- 905
- 00:46:26,116 --> 00:46:27,409
- Yeah, well, he should be.
- 906
- 00:46:30,579 --> 00:46:31,747
- I hope this wasn't your idea.
- 907
- 00:46:31,830 --> 00:46:33,791
- -Okay, look.
- -Are you encouraging this nonsense?
- 908
- 00:46:33,874 --> 00:46:36,335
- He doesn't have the arm speed
- to make it out of Double-A ball.
- 909
- 00:46:36,418 --> 00:46:37,961
- He doesn't have the talent.
- 910
- 00:46:40,464 --> 00:46:42,716
- A brutal reckoning that I, his father,
- 911
- 00:46:43,175 --> 00:46:45,385
- not you, got to make with him, thank you.
- 912
- 00:46:45,469 --> 00:46:46,678
- And the guitar?
- 913
- 00:46:47,346 --> 00:46:49,848
- He's gonna, what?
- Play the guitar, like, for a living?
- 914
- 00:46:49,932 --> 00:46:52,100
- Just because you were too scared
- to pursue your dreams,
- 915
- 00:46:52,184 --> 00:46:53,685
- -don't take it out on him.
- -Oh, please.
- 916
- 00:46:53,769 --> 00:46:54,895
- Let him try while he's young.
- 917
- 00:46:55,562 --> 00:46:58,190
- At worst,
- he spends some time finding himself.
- 918
- 00:46:58,273 --> 00:47:00,275
- Oh, sure.
- You kick around trying to "find yourself,"
- 919
- 00:47:00,359 --> 00:47:02,444
- and before you know it,
- you're a 40-year-old dude
- 920
- 00:47:02,528 --> 00:47:05,572
- with a 150 IQ and no college degree.
- 921
- 00:47:07,115 --> 00:47:11,370
- Then you're making, what, 450 a week
- in a goddamn wedding cover band.
- 922
- 00:47:12,329 --> 00:47:13,831
- Being hired by a guy
- 923
- 00:47:13,914 --> 00:47:16,124
- who can afford to drop $100K
- on the wedding
- 924
- 00:47:16,208 --> 00:47:18,252
- because he didn't waste
- ten years of his life
- 925
- 00:47:18,335 --> 00:47:20,879
- pursuing his dreams of, you know,
- the Olympic curling team,
- 926
- 00:47:20,963 --> 00:47:23,048
- or writing the next great American novel.
- 927
- 00:47:23,131 --> 00:47:25,133
- -That's not what I meant.
- -The men in my family have
- 928
- 00:47:25,217 --> 00:47:27,469
- served this country every generation
- since they got here.
- 929
- 00:47:27,553 --> 00:47:29,304
- He is not entitled
- to break that tradition.
- 930
- 00:47:29,388 --> 00:47:30,639
- -Scott.
- -It's not an option.
- 931
- 00:47:30,722 --> 00:47:32,307
- -End of discussion.
- 932
- 00:47:32,391 --> 00:47:33,725
- Sorry to interrupt.
- 933
- 00:47:34,101 --> 00:47:36,019
- Coffee. No cream, no sugar.
- 934
- 00:47:36,103 --> 00:47:37,646
- - Thanks.
- 935
- 00:47:37,729 --> 00:47:39,940
- So, I got some more information for you.
- 936
- 00:47:40,023 --> 00:47:40,899
- It's not a lot.
- 937
- 00:47:41,775 --> 00:47:43,777
- I checked the computer intake log again.
- 938
- 00:47:46,655 --> 00:47:50,200
- Your son was identified
- as a vehicle occupant
- 939
- 00:47:50,284 --> 00:47:52,119
- in a traffic stop in your Lexus.
- 940
- 00:47:52,202 --> 00:47:55,956
- I also confirmed there were
- two other black males
- 941
- 00:47:56,039 --> 00:47:57,833
- in the vehicle when it was stopped.
- 942
- 00:47:57,916 --> 00:47:59,042
- Why were they stopped?
- 943
- 00:47:59,126 --> 00:48:00,669
- The log's not really that specific.
- 944
- 00:48:00,752 --> 00:48:02,713
- The general "infraction" category
- was checked off.
- 945
- 00:48:02,796 --> 00:48:04,047
- What does that mean?
- 946
- 00:48:04,756 --> 00:48:06,967
- It's just whatever
- the patrol officer logged in
- 947
- 00:48:07,050 --> 00:48:09,177
- from his laptop in the patrol car.
- 948
- 00:48:09,261 --> 00:48:10,470
- He, like, checks off a box.
- 949
- 00:48:10,554 --> 00:48:11,930
- So this tells us nothing.
- 950
- 00:48:12,014 --> 00:48:15,058
- Well, it's not showing up
- as a pursuit following felony,
- 951
- 00:48:15,434 --> 00:48:17,728
- a stolen car, BOLO.
- You know, the really bad stuff...
- 952
- 00:48:17,811 --> 00:48:19,271
- -Okay.
- -...you can check off.
- 953
- 00:48:19,354 --> 00:48:22,608
- - Who were the other boys?
- -Yeah, I'm not allowed to, um...
- 954
- 00:48:25,444 --> 00:48:28,113
- Okay, this stays between us.
- Badge to badge.
- 955
- 00:48:31,033 --> 00:48:33,994
- DaShawn Rolle and Jarvis Bell.
- 956
- 00:48:34,077 --> 00:48:34,953
- You know them?
- 957
- 00:48:35,871 --> 00:48:38,665
- Uh, Bell is a 20-year-old
- with misdemeanor convictions.
- 958
- 00:48:38,749 --> 00:48:39,875
- He had an open warrant.
- 959
- 00:48:39,958 --> 00:48:41,418
- -For what?
- -That I cannot tell you.
- 960
- 00:48:41,501 --> 00:48:43,295
- You see, Ken? Do you see what I'm saying?
- 961
- 00:48:43,378 --> 00:48:45,213
- Um, one other thing.
- 962
- 00:48:45,297 --> 00:48:47,925
- I gave your son's social media accounts
- a quick look over.
- 963
- 00:48:48,008 --> 00:48:51,470
- Really? That's what you've been doing
- while we're standing around in here?
- 964
- 00:48:51,553 --> 00:48:54,640
- Social media is, like, the first stop
- in missing persons cases.
- 965
- 00:48:54,723 --> 00:48:55,682
- -Oh, please.
- -Fact!
- 966
- 00:48:59,019 --> 00:49:01,480
- And that I did learn in a training video.
- 967
- 00:49:05,776 --> 00:49:08,445
- Your son posted something on Instagram.
- 968
- 00:49:08,862 --> 00:49:12,199
- A photo of a bumper sticker
- on the back of your Lexus.
- 969
- 00:49:14,076 --> 00:49:18,789
- "Shoot cops with your camera phone
- whenever they make a bust."
- 970
- 00:49:19,581 --> 00:49:21,333
- -Excuse me?
- -That is what it says.
- 971
- 00:49:21,416 --> 00:49:23,043
- -"Shoot cops"?
- -Yeah, yeah.
- 972
- 00:49:23,126 --> 00:49:26,046
- And those words
- were in, like, huge letters, okay?
- 973
- 00:49:26,129 --> 00:49:28,340
- -I think you're mistaken.
- -The rest of it in little fonts,
- 974
- 00:49:28,423 --> 00:49:30,884
- so all anyone who wasn't two feet away
- from the bumper could see
- 975
- 00:49:30,968 --> 00:49:32,636
- is a Lexus that says, "Shoot cops."
- 976
- 00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,180
- No... No, not my son.
- 977
- 00:49:38,725 --> 00:49:39,643
- Afraid so.
- 978
- 00:49:53,573 --> 00:49:54,866
- "Shoot cops."
- 979
- 00:49:54,950 --> 00:49:56,743
- Shoot people just trying to do their jobs.
- 980
- 00:49:56,827 --> 00:49:57,953
- -That's all you can see?
- -Yup.
- 981
- 00:49:58,036 --> 00:50:00,330
- -Jesus Christ.
- -Shoot people with wives and kids.
- 982
- 00:50:00,414 --> 00:50:01,331
- Son of a bitch.
- 983
- 00:50:01,415 --> 00:50:04,584
- Just shoot 'em 'cause you're part
- of the revolution or whatever, I guess.
- 984
- 00:50:04,668 --> 00:50:05,669
- -Kendra.
- -What?
- 985
- 00:50:05,752 --> 00:50:08,130
- -That car is registered in my name.
- -God...
- 986
- 00:50:08,213 --> 00:50:11,299
- This isn't about us, remember?
- Our son is in police custody.
- 987
- 00:50:11,383 --> 00:50:14,469
- Our son has a bumper sticker
- on his car that says, "Shoot cops."
- 988
- 00:50:14,553 --> 00:50:16,054
- -My son. I'm the cops.
- - Scott.
- 989
- 00:50:16,138 --> 00:50:19,224
- -God damn it. I'm the cops!
- -This is about a camera phone.
- 990
- 00:50:20,517 --> 00:50:21,351
- Jesus, Scott!
- 991
- 00:50:21,435 --> 00:50:23,562
- Right now, I couldn't care less
- about you and him
- 992
- 00:50:23,645 --> 00:50:25,022
- and your goddamn thin blue line.
- 993
- 00:50:25,105 --> 00:50:26,481
- I care about finding our son.
- 994
- 00:50:26,565 --> 00:50:28,442
- Did you know about this? Had you seen it?
- 995
- 00:50:28,525 --> 00:50:30,610
- Kenny, please tell me
- that you didn't know about this.
- 996
- 00:50:30,694 --> 00:50:32,863
- -Please tell me that you didn't--
- -Listen to me.
- 997
- 00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,867
- There are three black kids in his school.
- 998
- 00:50:37,242 --> 00:50:40,037
- Three out of 400 and something.
- 999
- 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,581
- And the other two are dating each other.
- 1000
- 00:50:42,664 --> 00:50:44,041
- -He's...
- -Oh, no, I totally get it.
- 1001
- 00:50:44,124 --> 00:50:45,500
- Being one of the only black kids
- 1002
- 00:50:45,584 --> 00:50:47,753
- at the most expensive prep school
- in the city...
- 1003
- 00:50:48,587 --> 00:50:50,756
- versus being a black kid at,
- you know, MLK Senior,
- 1004
- 00:50:50,839 --> 00:50:52,841
- where you gotta go through metal detectors
- every day,
- 1005
- 00:50:52,924 --> 00:50:56,344
- that entitles you to put a bumper sticker
- on your Lexus
- 1006
- 00:50:56,428 --> 00:50:59,431
- that says, "Shoot the stupid dumbass
- who bought me this car."
- 1007
- 00:50:59,514 --> 00:51:02,100
- He is grappling with a lot right now.
- 1008
- 00:51:02,934 --> 00:51:04,936
- -He's depressed.
- -Oh, Jesus.
- 1009
- 00:51:05,020 --> 00:51:06,063
- He's confused.
- 1010
- 00:51:06,146 --> 00:51:09,316
- Bullshit. Look, I'm sorry to be venting
- like this in front of you.
- 1011
- 00:51:09,399 --> 00:51:11,151
- Oh, no, listen, I totally hear you.
- 1012
- 00:51:11,234 --> 00:51:12,736
- Where is Jamal now?
- 1013
- 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,031
- What I just told you,
- that is all that is in the system,
- 1014
- 00:51:16,114 --> 00:51:17,991
- and I wasn't even supposed
- to tell you that.
- 1015
- 00:51:18,075 --> 00:51:19,242
- I'm really supposed to wait
- 1016
- 00:51:19,326 --> 00:51:21,411
- for this Lieutenant Stokes guy
- to get here.
- 1017
- 00:51:22,287 --> 00:51:25,332
- But, I tell you what,
- I will go and check the computer again,
- 1018
- 00:51:25,415 --> 00:51:27,125
- see if someone might have
- logged something in
- 1019
- 00:51:27,209 --> 00:51:28,460
- in the last few minutes.
- 1020
- 00:51:30,796 --> 00:51:31,922
- You know what?
- 1021
- 00:51:32,047 --> 00:51:34,132
- I sat around here almost half an hour.
- 1022
- 00:51:34,216 --> 00:51:36,343
- You couldn't tell me a damn thing.
- 1023
- 00:51:36,718 --> 00:51:38,303
- Except for maybe how to go on
- 1024
- 00:51:38,386 --> 00:51:40,847
- a self-guided, Jim Crow tour
- through the building...
- 1025
- 00:51:40,931 --> 00:51:44,810
- And then as soon as my husband shows up,
- my white husband,
- 1026
- 00:51:44,893 --> 00:51:46,978
- suddenly you are as helpful as can be.
- 1027
- 00:51:47,062 --> 00:51:48,438
- - Kendra!
- -Why is that?
- 1028
- 00:51:49,314 --> 00:51:52,025
- Do you not want me to go look
- at the computer again?
- 1029
- 00:51:52,109 --> 00:51:54,194
- -If you wouldn't mind too much.
- 1030
- 00:51:54,277 --> 00:51:56,113
- I'm sorry, I didn't get your first name.
- 1031
- 00:51:56,947 --> 00:51:57,781
- Paul.
- 1032
- 00:51:57,864 --> 00:52:00,325
- Paul, if you wouldn't mind,
- we'd really appreciate it.
- 1033
- 00:52:01,451 --> 00:52:02,410
- Sure thing.
- 1034
- 00:52:04,079 --> 00:52:05,956
- -Refill?
- -That'd be great.
- 1035
- 00:52:15,132 --> 00:52:16,049
- "That'd be great."
- 1036
- 00:52:17,259 --> 00:52:18,844
- You know what else would be great?
- 1037
- 00:52:18,927 --> 00:52:20,929
- If you took my side at some point.
- 1038
- 00:52:21,012 --> 00:52:22,264
- Damn it, Kendra.
- 1039
- 00:52:22,347 --> 00:52:24,349
- You're so goddamn nice to him,
- it's making me sick.
- 1040
- 00:52:24,432 --> 00:52:27,060
- -"Shoot cops"? For Christ's sake.
- -That's why you're kissing this guy's ass?
- 1041
- 00:52:27,144 --> 00:52:29,312
- No. I'm ready to put my fist
- through the goddamn wall.
- 1042
- 00:52:29,396 --> 00:52:30,522
- Put yourself in Jamal's place.
- 1043
- 00:52:30,605 --> 00:52:33,150
- -Oh, give me a break.
- -No! Just for one minute,
- 1044
- 00:52:33,233 --> 00:52:36,278
- put yourself in your son's place.
- 1045
- 00:52:42,242 --> 00:52:44,411
- He is the only black person
- 1046
- 00:52:44,494 --> 00:52:47,122
- most of those little white kids
- at his school know.
- 1047
- 00:52:48,081 --> 00:52:49,166
- Most of 'em...
- 1048
- 00:52:50,500 --> 00:52:53,628
- only black people
- they've ever exchanged two words with
- 1049
- 00:52:53,712 --> 00:52:57,382
- are the Jamaican hospice woman
- who wipes bubbie's ass,
- 1050
- 00:52:57,757 --> 00:53:00,385
- and the people
- at some Habitat for Humanity house
- 1051
- 00:53:00,468 --> 00:53:02,137
- they helped build
- just so they had something
- 1052
- 00:53:02,220 --> 00:53:03,805
- to put on their application to Princeton.
- 1053
- 00:53:03,889 --> 00:53:05,682
- -Look, I get that.
- -You have to understand, Scott.
- 1054
- 00:53:05,765 --> 00:53:07,517
- Jamal is going through...
- 1055
- 00:53:15,817 --> 00:53:17,027
- an awakening.
- 1056
- 00:53:17,527 --> 00:53:18,987
- -An awakening? To what?
- - Yes.
- 1057
- 00:53:19,070 --> 00:53:20,155
- To this.
- 1058
- 00:53:39,007 --> 00:53:39,841
- Okay.
- 1059
- 00:53:41,718 --> 00:53:43,470
- And?
- 1060
- 00:53:44,221 --> 00:53:45,180
- And...
- 1061
- 00:53:46,598 --> 00:53:48,683
- Philando Castile.
- 1062
- 00:53:50,644 --> 00:53:52,020
- And Eric Garner.
- 1063
- 00:53:53,355 --> 00:53:55,023
- And Tamir Rice.
- 1064
- 00:53:56,107 --> 00:53:57,943
- Every time it happens,
- 1065
- 00:53:58,026 --> 00:54:00,779
- he feels the world
- close in on him a little.
- 1066
- 00:54:00,862 --> 00:54:03,073
- And it's coming at him from both sides
- 1067
- 00:54:03,156 --> 00:54:07,369
- because all of his white friends
- think he represents the entire race.
- 1068
- 00:54:07,452 --> 00:54:11,706
- It's not like if he was at a school
- with other black kids he could lean on.
- 1069
- 00:54:11,790 --> 00:54:14,459
- He is the one all the white kids look to.
- 1070
- 00:54:14,542 --> 00:54:17,796
- There is immense pressure on him to--
- 1071
- 00:54:18,505 --> 00:54:21,758
- I'll tell you what he calls it,
- "the face of the race."
- 1072
- 00:54:23,635 --> 00:54:27,847
- That's what he says,
- "I feel like I am the face of the race."
- 1073
- 00:54:28,848 --> 00:54:30,809
- -He told you this?
- - Many times.
- 1074
- 00:54:32,310 --> 00:54:34,271
- He never said anything like that to me.
- 1075
- 00:54:38,149 --> 00:54:39,985
- Baby, look at you...
- 1076
- 00:54:40,652 --> 00:54:43,196
- and look at me
- and reckon why that might be.
- 1077
- 00:54:48,535 --> 00:54:50,870
- When these men get shot down,
- 1078
- 00:54:50,954 --> 00:54:53,331
- he can feel their ghosts.
- 1079
- 00:54:55,333 --> 00:54:57,002
- That bumper sticker was--
- 1080
- 00:54:58,295 --> 00:54:59,587
- Was what?
- 1081
- 00:55:01,381 --> 00:55:02,966
- No, really, I--I...
- 1082
- 00:55:04,301 --> 00:55:06,469
- -I want to understand.
- 1083
- 00:55:15,228 --> 00:55:19,316
- Can you see that Jamal
- is also right, here?
- 1084
- 00:55:20,775 --> 00:55:23,236
- Filming cops is all these kids have.
- 1085
- 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,238
- It is their last line of defense.
- 1086
- 00:55:25,322 --> 00:55:28,867
- Shit. God forbid I'm stopped,
- it's mine too.
- 1087
- 00:55:28,950 --> 00:55:31,077
- That is the world we live in.
- 1088
- 00:55:31,161 --> 00:55:32,662
- Whether you get it or not.
- 1089
- 00:55:41,338 --> 00:55:42,881
- No, I get it. I do.
- 1090
- 00:55:45,216 --> 00:55:46,134
- I get it.
- 1091
- 00:55:48,386 --> 00:55:49,262
- I just--
- 1092
- 00:55:52,223 --> 00:55:55,143
- He still should've known
- where this kind of thing can lead.
- 1093
- 00:55:55,226 --> 00:55:56,061
- Where?
- 1094
- 00:55:56,644 --> 00:55:58,438
- Here?
- 1095
- 00:55:58,521 --> 00:55:59,481
- -Tonight?
- -Yeah.
- 1096
- 00:55:59,564 --> 00:56:00,982
- -Because of a bumper sticker?
- -Yes.
- 1097
- 00:56:01,066 --> 00:56:02,692
- You really think
- that's what this is about?
- 1098
- 00:56:02,776 --> 00:56:04,194
- -Sure didn't help.
- -A bumper sticker?
- 1099
- 00:56:04,277 --> 00:56:06,821
- Look, if I'm a cop rolling down the street
- at 2:00 a.m.,
- 1100
- 00:56:06,905 --> 00:56:08,782
- and it's a close call on probable cause...
- 1101
- 00:56:08,865 --> 00:56:10,867
- The bumper sticker would push you
- over the edge?
- 1102
- 00:56:10,950 --> 00:56:12,369
- -You bet.
- -Oh...
- 1103
- 00:56:12,452 --> 00:56:14,913
- Especially, if after I make
- a warning stop,
- 1104
- 00:56:14,996 --> 00:56:18,208
- I got some uppity asshole
- lecturing me about his rights.
- 1105
- 00:56:18,291 --> 00:56:19,584
- Son of a bitch.
- 1106
- 00:56:20,001 --> 00:56:21,002
- What?
- 1107
- 00:56:23,171 --> 00:56:24,172
- "Uppity"?
- 1108
- 00:56:25,965 --> 00:56:27,759
- -Oh, come on.
- -Is that what you just said?
- 1109
- 00:56:27,842 --> 00:56:29,344
- - Kendra, please.
- -Unbelievable.
- 1110
- 00:56:29,427 --> 00:56:30,720
- - Jesus Christ.
- -From you?
- 1111
- 00:56:30,804 --> 00:56:32,097
- I don't even know what to say.
- 1112
- 00:56:32,180 --> 00:56:35,642
- God damn it, don't make this about
- how I tripped on some coded word fossil.
- 1113
- 00:56:40,897 --> 00:56:43,858
- I cannot have J lapsing into a life
- 1114
- 00:56:43,942 --> 00:56:46,569
- where he makes excuses for himself
- all the time. I won't.
- 1115
- 00:56:46,653 --> 00:56:49,239
- And I won't have him walking around
- apologizing for who he is.
- 1116
- 00:56:49,322 --> 00:56:51,950
- -No one is asking him to do that.
- -Yes, they are.
- 1117
- 00:56:55,745 --> 00:56:58,081
- "Keep your hands on the wheel, boy.
- Look straight ahead.
- 1118
- 00:56:58,164 --> 00:57:00,125
- Don't make any sudden moves.
- 1119
- 00:57:00,208 --> 00:57:04,087
- Wouldn't want to make the man
- in the bulletproof vest nervous
- 1120
- 00:57:04,170 --> 00:57:08,383
- when he walks up to your window
- pointing a glock at your head."
- 1121
- 00:57:12,220 --> 00:57:14,013
- Your father ever tell you that?
- 1122
- 00:57:14,931 --> 00:57:17,475
- -He never had to.
- -You're goddamn right, he didn't.
- 1123
- 00:57:32,574 --> 00:57:33,867
- Look, Kenny.
- 1124
- 00:57:38,455 --> 00:57:41,458
- I'm as eager to sort this out as you are.
- He is my son, too.
- 1125
- 00:57:43,001 --> 00:57:44,794
- I just don't think that, you know,
- 1126
- 00:57:45,503 --> 00:57:48,882
- lecturing these people
- on Black Lives Matter is gonna help.
- 1127
- 00:57:50,467 --> 00:57:51,801
- Let's try...
- 1128
- 00:57:53,219 --> 00:57:55,138
- catching flies with honey, okay?
- 1129
- 00:57:55,221 --> 00:57:57,098
- Maybe they need a little lecture.
- 1130
- 00:57:58,266 --> 00:58:01,186
- They sure fittin' to get one
- when I sue their asses.
- 1131
- 00:58:01,686 --> 00:58:02,854
- Look, alls I'm saying...
- 1132
- 00:58:02,937 --> 00:58:03,813
- all...
- 1133
- 00:58:05,231 --> 00:58:06,483
- all I'm saying...
- 1134
- 00:58:06,858 --> 00:58:09,068
- is let's give these people
- the benefit of the doubt
- 1135
- 00:58:09,152 --> 00:58:12,071
- and not act like we're
- in some ass-backwards Klan county
- 1136
- 00:58:12,155 --> 00:58:14,491
- in South Carolina.
- This is Miami, for God's sake.
- 1137
- 00:58:14,574 --> 00:58:17,327
- Where my black, PhD-having ass
- 1138
- 00:58:17,410 --> 00:58:20,622
- still has to drive down
- something called "South Dixie Highway"
- 1139
- 00:58:20,705 --> 00:58:21,998
- to get to work every day.
- 1140
- 00:58:22,081 --> 00:58:24,626
- Kenny, I see your point. I do.
- 1141
- 00:58:26,127 --> 00:58:28,213
- But throwing all that up
- in white people's faces
- 1142
- 00:58:28,296 --> 00:58:29,464
- makes them feel like shit.
- 1143
- 00:58:29,547 --> 00:58:32,467
- And when you make people feel like shit,
- they tend to not wanna help you.
- 1144
- 00:58:32,550 --> 00:58:34,052
- Yes, sir, Massa Scott.
- 1145
- 00:58:34,135 --> 00:58:36,471
- Auntie Kendra don't wanna hurt
- nobody feelings.
- 1146
- 00:58:36,554 --> 00:58:38,348
- I sorry, Massa Scott.
- 1147
- 00:58:43,353 --> 00:58:44,729
- What is so funny?
- 1148
- 00:58:48,566 --> 00:58:49,442
- You.
- 1149
- 00:58:51,110 --> 00:58:52,737
- Being ridiculous.
- 1150
- 00:58:54,822 --> 00:58:57,951
- My husband laughs
- when I pretend to be a house slave,
- 1151
- 00:58:58,034 --> 00:59:01,120
- -and I wonder why we're separated.
- - Oh, Jesus.
- 1152
- 00:59:03,039 --> 00:59:06,960
- Boy. I tell you,
- did you and I ever agree on anything?
- 1153
- 00:59:07,043 --> 00:59:09,170
- -Oh, come on.
- -No, did we?
- 1154
- 00:59:09,254 --> 00:59:10,547
- Seriously?
- 1155
- 00:59:13,758 --> 00:59:15,051
- Seriously?
- 1156
- 00:59:27,021 --> 00:59:28,898
- The importance of hard work.
- 1157
- 00:59:30,817 --> 00:59:31,859
- Frugality.
- 1158
- 00:59:34,529 --> 00:59:36,489
- Respect for our elders.
- 1159
- 00:59:39,826 --> 00:59:42,120
- Bourbon Manhattans at dusk
- out on the patio.
- 1160
- 00:59:42,203 --> 00:59:43,830
- -Okay.
- 1161
- 00:59:45,456 --> 00:59:47,292
- -Thelonious Monk. Right?
- -Mmm.
- 1162
- 00:59:47,375 --> 00:59:49,294
- Yeah. We always agreed on Thelonious Monk.
- 1163
- 00:59:49,377 --> 00:59:50,461
- Yes, we did.
- 1164
- 00:59:53,423 --> 00:59:54,382
- Thai food.
- 1165
- 00:59:56,718 --> 00:59:57,635
- -Right.
- -The U.
- 1166
- 00:59:57,719 --> 00:59:59,846
- Yes.
- 1167
- 01:00:02,265 --> 01:00:04,684
- -Cormac McCarthy.
- -Mmm.
- 1168
- 01:00:04,767 --> 01:00:06,019
- The Cayman Islands.
- 1169
- 01:00:06,853 --> 01:00:07,687
- Sex.
- 1170
- 01:00:08,605 --> 01:00:09,522
- Yeah.
- 1171
- 01:00:34,005 --> 01:00:37,091
- The morning J was born
- was the best day of our lives.
- 1172
- 01:00:37,175 --> 01:00:39,469
- -We definitely agree on that.
- -Right?
- 1173
- 01:00:52,273 --> 01:00:53,566
- I mean, I still can't.
- 1174
- 01:00:58,071 --> 01:00:59,113
- I just can't...
- 1175
- 01:01:01,908 --> 01:01:03,534
- I mean, Jesus Christ.
- 1176
- 01:01:09,332 --> 01:01:12,043
- When I was at that conference in Atlanta
- a couple months ago,
- 1177
- 01:01:12,126 --> 01:01:14,212
- I saw another bumper sticker,
- 1178
- 01:01:14,295 --> 01:01:17,590
- "Don't Blame Me,
- I Voted for Jefferson Davis."
- 1179
- 01:01:18,049 --> 01:01:19,592
- Nobody was pulling him over.
- 1180
- 01:01:19,676 --> 01:01:21,803
- That's just some bigoted asshole, Kenny.
- 1181
- 01:01:21,886 --> 01:01:23,012
- But in Atlanta.
- 1182
- 01:01:23,262 --> 01:01:25,723
- In the capital of black America,
- 1183
- 01:01:25,807 --> 01:01:28,935
- white people get to glue their anger
- all over their car bumpers.
- 1184
- 01:01:29,018 --> 01:01:31,938
- Well, I cannot answer
- for every racist white person.
- 1185
- 01:01:32,021 --> 01:01:34,107
- No? You're not the "face of the race"?
- 1186
- 01:01:35,650 --> 01:01:38,486
- Well, I'm glad to see that this is
- the standard we're holding our son to.
- 1187
- 01:01:38,569 --> 01:01:39,821
- What standard is that?
- 1188
- 01:01:39,904 --> 01:01:41,572
- Looking for a bigot behind every tree.
- 1189
- 01:01:41,656 --> 01:01:43,324
- Because that's what this shit leads to.
- 1190
- 01:01:43,408 --> 01:01:46,077
- "Shoot cops" bumper stickers
- and all this micro-aggression bullshit...
- 1191
- 01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:47,745
- -Can we drop it?
- -...on college campuses.
- 1192
- 01:01:47,829 --> 01:01:50,206
- I mean, seriously, Kendra,
- what were you thinking?
- 1193
- 01:01:50,289 --> 01:01:52,041
- He just put it on the car today
- or yesterday,
- 1194
- 01:01:52,125 --> 01:01:53,292
- I'm losing track of time here.
- 1195
- 01:01:53,376 --> 01:01:55,837
- -So you did know it was there?
- -Scott, yes, I saw it.
- 1196
- 01:01:56,713 --> 01:01:57,964
- I didn't like it either,
- 1197
- 01:01:58,047 --> 01:02:00,508
- but Jamal has been on edge
- about everything lately.
- 1198
- 01:02:00,591 --> 01:02:03,344
- You weren't around.
- It was up to me to do triage.
- 1199
- 01:02:03,428 --> 01:02:06,472
- I decided the bumper sticker was a battle
- that could wait till morning.
- 1200
- 01:02:06,556 --> 01:02:09,308
- I-- I told him not to get in that car
- until he got rid of it.
- 1201
- 01:02:09,392 --> 01:02:11,060
- Okay. Fine. But once this is done,
- 1202
- 01:02:11,144 --> 01:02:12,854
- we're gonna sit down,
- have a little chat
- 1203
- 01:02:12,937 --> 01:02:15,231
- about the quality of your judgment
- on this.
- 1204
- 01:02:17,859 --> 01:02:18,735
- Wow.
- 1205
- 01:02:19,861 --> 01:02:20,737
- Okay.
- 1206
- 01:02:21,487 --> 01:02:22,363
- You know what?
- 1207
- 01:02:22,447 --> 01:02:24,782
- I'm not running cover for you anymore.
- 1208
- 01:02:25,616 --> 01:02:28,911
- He put the bumper sticker on the car
- to get back at you.
- 1209
- 01:02:29,704 --> 01:02:32,290
- He's furious with you.
- 1210
- 01:02:32,749 --> 01:02:33,916
- What? For what?
- 1211
- 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:35,376
- What do you think, Scott?
- 1212
- 01:02:35,460 --> 01:02:36,961
- For leaving him.
- 1213
- 01:02:37,044 --> 01:02:38,588
- Sorry, leaving me.
- 1214
- 01:02:38,671 --> 01:02:40,298
- -He told you this?
- -Told me...
- 1215
- 01:02:40,715 --> 01:02:43,468
- I had to watch my six-foot tall son
- 1216
- 01:02:43,551 --> 01:02:46,721
- cry his eyes dry
- about three nights running.
- 1217
- 01:02:46,929 --> 01:02:49,056
- Calling you names
- they haven't invented yet.
- 1218
- 01:02:49,140 --> 01:02:53,269
- That poor child was curled up in my arms
- like a little baby.
- 1219
- 01:02:53,352 --> 01:02:55,354
- -I... I...
- -I...
- 1220
- 01:02:55,730 --> 01:02:58,775
- Yeah. That's what all this is about.
- The bumper sticker. The cornrows.
- 1221
- 01:02:58,858 --> 01:03:00,359
- -It is a rebellion against you.
- -No. No.
- 1222
- 01:03:00,443 --> 01:03:02,361
- -Bullshit.
- -No, honey. It's not bullshit.
- 1223
- 01:03:02,445 --> 01:03:04,822
- It's called
- the science of human psychology.
- 1224
- 01:03:05,364 --> 01:03:08,159
- This is what young men do
- 1225
- 01:03:08,242 --> 01:03:13,706
- when the person they have modeled
- their whole identity and moral code over--
- 1226
- 01:03:14,123 --> 01:03:16,083
- Hell, what is the clinical term?
- 1227
- 01:03:16,167 --> 01:03:17,835
- -"Fucks over his family."
- -Kenny...
- 1228
- 01:03:17,919 --> 01:03:19,212
- He hates you right now!
- 1229
- 01:03:19,295 --> 01:03:22,715
- And for the first time in his life,
- he hates being half-white!
- 1230
- 01:03:30,556 --> 01:03:31,641
- I told you,
- 1231
- 01:03:31,724 --> 01:03:34,602
- I am not happy
- about the goddamn bumper sticker
- 1232
- 01:03:34,685 --> 01:03:36,687
- or the cornrows or the baggy pants,
- 1233
- 01:03:36,771 --> 01:03:39,816
- but it is just a phase he will get over.
- Hopefully a short one.
- 1234
- 01:03:39,899 --> 01:03:45,822
- I am just trying to help him reassemble
- a very fragile identity,
- 1235
- 01:03:45,905 --> 01:03:50,701
- an identity that you busted into pieces
- when you walked out that door.
- 1236
- 01:03:50,785 --> 01:03:52,370
- So get off my back about this
- 1237
- 01:03:52,453 --> 01:03:54,413
- because you don't get
- to take the high road here.
- 1238
- 01:03:54,497 --> 01:03:55,373
- -Stop it.
- 1239
- 01:03:55,456 --> 01:03:56,457
- No! You--
- 1240
- 01:03:58,417 --> 01:03:59,919
- It's not J. Fuck.
- 1241
- 01:04:00,002 --> 01:04:01,838
- You really need to be texting her now?
- 1242
- 01:04:01,921 --> 01:04:02,964
- -It's my brother.
- -What?
- 1243
- 01:04:03,047 --> 01:04:05,299
- -He sent a link, he said it's urgent.
- -Dwyane Wade dunking?
- 1244
- 01:04:05,383 --> 01:04:08,094
- You two can't bond over your man crush
- some other time?
- 1245
- 01:04:09,595 --> 01:04:12,765
- Aw, man. Aw, man.
- 1246
- 01:04:12,849 --> 01:04:14,976
- - Don't do it, man.
- - Nigga, stay down.
- 1247
- 01:04:15,059 --> 01:04:16,102
- Don't do it, man!
- 1248
- 01:04:16,853 --> 01:04:18,145
- Stay down, nigga.
- 1249
- 01:04:21,607 --> 01:04:22,525
- Jesus.
- 1250
- 01:04:22,608 --> 01:04:23,734
- Scott, what is that?
- 1251
- 01:04:23,818 --> 01:04:24,735
- It's, um...
- 1252
- 01:04:25,403 --> 01:04:26,362
- I-- I don't...
- 1253
- 01:04:27,613 --> 01:04:29,490
- -Uh...
- -Scott?
- 1254
- 01:04:30,366 --> 01:04:32,368
- -I-- No. Nope. No, honey?
- -Yes.
- 1255
- 01:04:32,451 --> 01:04:35,371
- Kendra, stop it.
- God damn it, honey, please don't.
- 1256
- 01:04:36,747 --> 01:04:39,667
- Aw, man. Aw, man.
- 1257
- 01:04:39,750 --> 01:04:41,878
- - Don't do it, man.
- - Nigga, stay down.
- 1258
- 01:04:41,961 --> 01:04:43,170
- Don't do it, man!
- 1259
- 01:04:43,754 --> 01:04:45,131
- Stay down, nigga.
- 1260
- 01:04:46,632 --> 01:04:47,466
- Okay.
- 1261
- 01:04:49,093 --> 01:04:49,927
- Jesus.
- 1262
- 01:04:54,765 --> 01:04:55,641
- What...
- 1263
- 01:04:56,851 --> 01:04:58,352
- -What's it mean?
- -I don't know.
- 1264
- 01:05:00,521 --> 01:05:02,273
- -Is that Jamal?
- -Jesus.
- 1265
- 01:05:02,356 --> 01:05:03,733
- -Scott, is that him?
- -I don't know.
- 1266
- 01:05:03,816 --> 01:05:05,109
- Is that him?
- 1267
- 01:05:05,192 --> 01:05:06,819
- No, Kendra, I don't know.
- Give me a second.
- 1268
- 01:05:06,903 --> 01:05:09,947
- -Well, what does the text say?
- -I wasn't paying attention. Um...
- 1269
- 01:05:10,323 --> 01:05:13,826
- "Look ASAP, AM stringer posted this
- on the CBS4 site. Is this J?"
- 1270
- 01:05:13,910 --> 01:05:15,328
- Let me see. Let me see it.
- 1271
- 01:05:15,411 --> 01:05:18,247
- - Aw, man.
- 1272
- 01:05:18,331 --> 01:05:19,916
- Scott, I think that's him.
- 1273
- 01:05:19,999 --> 01:05:21,667
- Is that him? The one running?
- 1274
- 01:05:21,751 --> 01:05:23,794
- -Kendra.
- -No-- No, God. In the blue shirt.
- 1275
- 01:05:23,878 --> 01:05:25,671
- - Stay down, nigga.
- -I think that's his shirt.
- 1276
- 01:05:25,755 --> 01:05:27,632
- Let's just take this
- one step at a time, okay?
- 1277
- 01:05:27,715 --> 01:05:29,216
- -Okay.
- -I'm gonna call my brother at the station.
- 1278
- 01:05:29,300 --> 01:05:30,801
- -I wanna see it again, make sure.
- -Give me a second.
- 1279
- 01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,845
- Let me get a hold of my brother,
- see if he knows anything.
- 1280
- 01:05:32,929 --> 01:05:34,138
- Hey, John. It's me.
- 1281
- 01:05:34,555 --> 01:05:35,932
- So is that J in the...?
- 1282
- 01:05:39,352 --> 01:05:41,896
- -Well, did he say whether or not he...
- -What did he say?
- 1283
- 01:05:44,815 --> 01:05:45,691
- Okay.
- 1284
- 01:05:47,151 --> 01:05:49,028
- Well, can you text me his number
- so that I can...
- 1285
- 01:05:49,111 --> 01:05:50,571
- -Who? Who is he?
- -You don't? Okay.
- 1286
- 01:05:50,655 --> 01:05:51,906
- - All right?
- -Yeah. Thanks.
- 1287
- 01:05:51,989 --> 01:05:53,074
- What did he say?
- 1288
- 01:05:53,157 --> 01:05:56,118
- Just that the police station monitors,
- the-- the police scanner,
- 1289
- 01:05:56,202 --> 01:05:58,537
- and they heard reports
- of a warrant stop, a traffic stop,
- 1290
- 01:05:58,621 --> 01:06:01,749
- and a witness, a bystander,
- some guy happens to be there
- 1291
- 01:06:01,832 --> 01:06:02,959
- and he sends in this footage.
- 1292
- 01:06:03,042 --> 01:06:05,252
- -Is it Jamal? Was he hurt?
- -John doesn't know.
- 1293
- 01:06:05,336 --> 01:06:07,964
- Just that the chatter came back
- with my car, and he sent the link.
- 1294
- 01:06:08,047 --> 01:06:09,256
- -He doesn't know.
- -Wait.
- 1295
- 01:06:09,340 --> 01:06:11,509
- It could be him, Scott. He could be hurt.
- 1296
- 01:06:11,592 --> 01:06:12,969
- Jamal could be hurt.
- 1297
- 01:06:13,052 --> 01:06:14,220
- -We have to...
- -I don't know.
- 1298
- 01:06:14,303 --> 01:06:16,138
- I saw what you saw, okay? I mean, I--
- 1299
- 01:06:16,222 --> 01:06:17,223
- -Hey!
- -I got your refill.
- 1300
- 01:06:17,306 --> 01:06:18,349
- -Have you seen this?
- -Huh?
- 1301
- 01:06:18,432 --> 01:06:19,725
- Have you seen this?
- 1302
- 01:06:19,809 --> 01:06:21,602
- No-- No. Seen what?
- 1303
- 01:06:27,191 --> 01:06:30,152
- Aw, man. Aw, man.
- 1304
- 01:06:30,236 --> 01:06:32,238
- - Don't do it, man.
- - Nigga, stay down.
- 1305
- 01:06:32,321 --> 01:06:33,406
- Don't do it, man!
- 1306
- 01:06:34,407 --> 01:06:35,658
- Stay down, nigga.
- 1307
- 01:06:37,743 --> 01:06:40,037
- I want to know
- what's going on with my son, now.
- 1308
- 01:06:40,121 --> 01:06:41,664
- I don't know what this is.
- 1309
- 01:06:41,789 --> 01:06:43,499
- It's a video.
- Apparently from a traffic stop.
- 1310
- 01:06:43,582 --> 01:06:44,792
- What video, from what stop?
- 1311
- 01:06:44,875 --> 01:06:46,877
- The stop where--
- I don't know, that's why I'm asking.
- 1312
- 01:06:46,961 --> 01:06:48,921
- Our son and other kids, we think.
- 1313
- 01:06:49,005 --> 01:06:51,048
- -Where did you get it?
- -Forget about where we got it.
- 1314
- 01:06:51,132 --> 01:06:53,384
- I'm trying to understand why you think
- this has to do with your son.
- 1315
- 01:06:53,467 --> 01:06:55,928
- His brother sent it
- and thinks it could be Jamal.
- 1316
- 01:06:56,012 --> 01:06:57,555
- Forget about all that. Where is our son?
- 1317
- 01:06:57,638 --> 01:06:59,015
- We just wanna know if he's okay.
- 1318
- 01:06:59,098 --> 01:07:02,059
- Look, I told you, Lieutenant Stokes
- is on his way down here.
- 1319
- 01:07:02,143 --> 01:07:03,185
- He'll be able to tell you.
- 1320
- 01:07:03,269 --> 01:07:04,645
- Okay. Listen to me. I have been--
- 1321
- 01:07:04,729 --> 01:07:06,605
- We have been waiting
- and we've been patient.
- 1322
- 01:07:06,689 --> 01:07:09,567
- But our son is in custody, your custody.
- You have him.
- 1323
- 01:07:09,650 --> 01:07:12,194
- We would like to know where he is.
- We would like to talk to him.
- 1324
- 01:07:12,278 --> 01:07:13,863
- - I understand.
- -We want to talk to him.
- 1325
- 01:07:13,946 --> 01:07:15,823
- - I'm doing everything I can.
- - This is easy!
- 1326
- 01:07:15,906 --> 01:07:17,366
- I'm gonna make this very easy for you.
- 1327
- 01:07:17,450 --> 01:07:20,703
- I wanna know where my son is right now!
- I wanna talk to him.
- 1328
- 01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,206
- Okay. As I have explained,
- 1329
- 01:07:24,290 --> 01:07:27,084
- I am not authorized to tell you that.
- 1330
- 01:07:27,501 --> 01:07:30,337
- All right? I think that
- if we all just calm down here for a second
- 1331
- 01:07:30,421 --> 01:07:31,630
- and stop jumping to conclusions--
- 1332
- 01:07:31,714 --> 01:07:33,049
- -Oh, God!
- -Where is my son?
- 1333
- 01:07:33,758 --> 01:07:35,051
- Where is my son?
- 1334
- 01:07:35,134 --> 01:07:37,595
- Sir, you just committed a battery
- on a law enforcement officer.
- 1335
- 01:07:37,678 --> 01:07:39,889
- -That is a second-degree felony.
- -Listen to me, you little shit.
- 1336
- 01:07:39,972 --> 01:07:41,515
- If you don't tell me
- where my son is right now,
- 1337
- 01:07:41,599 --> 01:07:45,061
- I'm gonna commit a capital felony.
- We are done being strung along!
- 1338
- 01:07:45,144 --> 01:07:46,062
- - Scott.
- - Sir!
- 1339
- 01:07:46,562 --> 01:07:48,647
- I'm gonna ask, please,
- take a seat and calm down.
- 1340
- 01:07:48,731 --> 01:07:49,607
- -Who are you?
- -Sir, please.
- 1341
- 01:07:49,690 --> 01:07:50,775
- Take your fuckin' hands off me.
- 1342
- 01:07:50,858 --> 01:07:54,195
- -I'm gonna ask you nice one more time.
- -Sorry, who the fuck is this?
- 1343
- 01:07:54,278 --> 01:07:56,072
- Officer, your cuffs, please.
- 1344
- 01:07:56,155 --> 01:07:58,199
- -You have the right to remain silent.
- -You kidding me?
- 1345
- 01:07:58,282 --> 01:08:00,367
- Anything you do or say
- may be used against you...
- 1346
- 01:08:00,451 --> 01:08:02,453
- -You're kidding.
- -You have the right to consult an attorney
- 1347
- 01:08:02,536 --> 01:08:04,080
- -before speaking with police.
- -You kidding?
- 1348
- 01:08:04,163 --> 01:08:05,623
- - Afraid not.
- -Why am I arrested?
- 1349
- 01:08:05,706 --> 01:08:07,041
- You have the right to an attorney...
- 1350
- 01:08:07,124 --> 01:08:09,335
- -What is happening?
- -You are kidding me.
- 1351
- 01:08:09,418 --> 01:08:11,128
- If you can't afford an attorney,
- one will be appointed
- 1352
- 01:08:11,212 --> 01:08:13,547
- free of charge before any questioning,
- if you wish.
- 1353
- 01:08:13,631 --> 01:08:14,507
- If you decide-- Stop.
- 1354
- 01:08:14,590 --> 01:08:16,801
- Listen to me. You wanna keep on
- racking up charges
- 1355
- 01:08:16,884 --> 01:08:19,678
- -or calm down and get this over with?
- -Just don't fucking touch me.
- 1356
- 01:08:19,762 --> 01:08:21,680
- Officer, give me a hand.
- Turn and face the wall.
- 1357
- 01:08:21,764 --> 01:08:23,057
- -I'm not gonna turn--
- -Don't resist.
- 1358
- 01:08:23,140 --> 01:08:25,309
- -Take your goddamn hands off me.
- - Sir!
- 1359
- 01:08:25,392 --> 01:08:27,019
- - Take your hands off me!
- -Stop it.
- 1360
- 01:08:27,103 --> 01:08:28,729
- -Let me go.
- -Stop it. No!
- 1361
- 01:08:28,813 --> 01:08:31,649
- -Let me go!
- -He has a heart murmur.
- 1362
- 01:08:31,732 --> 01:08:33,859
- -Sit him down.
- -He has a heart murmur!
- 1363
- 01:08:33,943 --> 01:08:35,861
- Son of a bitch. Fuck.
- 1364
- 01:08:35,945 --> 01:08:37,238
- -Hey.
- 1365
- 01:08:37,321 --> 01:08:39,198
- What is wrong with you people?
- 1366
- 01:08:39,281 --> 01:08:40,908
- -That's enough.
- -What is wrong with you?
- 1367
- 01:08:40,991 --> 01:08:42,993
- I said that's enough. You injured?
- 1368
- 01:08:43,536 --> 01:08:45,162
- -Uh...
- -Are you injured?
- 1369
- 01:08:45,246 --> 01:08:47,498
- -Well, he certainly could have been.
- - Sir?
- 1370
- 01:08:47,915 --> 01:08:50,126
- Get pictures of him. His face and hands.
- 1371
- 01:08:50,209 --> 01:08:51,210
- Yours and mine, too.
- 1372
- 01:08:52,002 --> 01:08:53,796
- Was that at all necessary?
- 1373
- 01:08:53,879 --> 01:08:56,715
- -Unfortunately, it was.
- 1374
- 01:08:56,841 --> 01:08:59,426
- Now, we all calm?
- 1375
- 01:09:01,303 --> 01:09:02,555
- We all settled down?
- 1376
- 01:09:04,181 --> 01:09:07,476
- Good. My name is Lieutenant John Stokes.
- 1377
- 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:09,520
- I'm the AM shift liaison officer.
- 1378
- 01:09:09,603 --> 01:09:11,063
- I understand there was an incident.
- 1379
- 01:09:11,147 --> 01:09:12,648
- -We wanna know where our son is.
- -Quiet.
- 1380
- 01:09:12,731 --> 01:09:14,400
- We wanna know now.
- We wanna know right now.
- 1381
- 01:09:14,483 --> 01:09:16,527
- Okay, I'm gonna try this one more time.
- 1382
- 01:09:16,610 --> 01:09:18,154
- I don't wanna take you into custody.
- 1383
- 01:09:18,237 --> 01:09:20,072
- I'd hate to see you lose
- that badge and pension
- 1384
- 01:09:20,156 --> 01:09:21,615
- I'm sure you've worked very hard for.
- 1385
- 01:09:21,699 --> 01:09:23,284
- I have a right to know
- where my son is.
- 1386
- 01:09:23,367 --> 01:09:25,161
- You're mistaken.
- You have no such right, sir.
- 1387
- 01:09:25,244 --> 01:09:28,622
- Your son is an adult
- who's the subject of an investigation.
- 1388
- 01:09:28,706 --> 01:09:32,209
- Right now, you have the right
- to sit down and shut up.
- 1389
- 01:09:32,293 --> 01:09:33,669
- -Do you understand?
- -He understands.
- 1390
- 01:09:33,752 --> 01:09:35,254
- I'm talking to him. Do you understand?
- 1391
- 01:09:35,337 --> 01:09:37,173
- -Fuck you!
- -Scott, please.
- 1392
- 01:09:37,256 --> 01:09:39,008
- -Take him up to intake and book him.
- -No.
- 1393
- 01:09:39,091 --> 01:09:41,093
- Two counts battery
- on a law enforcement officer,
- 1394
- 01:09:41,177 --> 01:09:42,720
- two counts resisting with violence.
- 1395
- 01:09:42,803 --> 01:09:46,849
- And every time he so much as flinches
- or looks at you cross-eyed
- 1396
- 01:09:46,932 --> 01:09:48,809
- between now and being fingerprinted,
- 1397
- 01:09:48,893 --> 01:09:50,728
- add a charge of resisting without. Got it?
- 1398
- 01:09:50,811 --> 01:09:51,812
- Yes, sir.
- 1399
- 01:09:51,896 --> 01:09:53,439
- Do I take him into custody?
- 1400
- 01:09:53,522 --> 01:09:56,483
- If he can calm himself, give him
- a "promise to appear" and cut him loose.
- 1401
- 01:09:56,567 --> 01:09:57,526
- You people are animals.
- 1402
- 01:09:57,610 --> 01:10:00,654
- Do I need to call in a taser and backup,
- or you gonna hold it together?
- 1403
- 01:10:00,738 --> 01:10:01,822
- -I'm fine.
- - All right.
- 1404
- 01:10:01,906 --> 01:10:04,700
- -And you'll be hearing from my lawyer.
- -And you'll be hearing from mine.
- 1405
- 01:10:04,783 --> 01:10:06,452
- My lawyer's name is the state attorney.
- 1406
- 01:10:06,535 --> 01:10:08,120
- What's your lawyer's name?
- 1407
- 01:10:09,455 --> 01:10:10,331
- Get him out of here.
- 1408
- 01:10:21,634 --> 01:10:23,219
- Now, again...
- 1409
- 01:10:23,802 --> 01:10:26,096
- my name is Lieutenant John Stokes.
- 1410
- 01:10:26,180 --> 01:10:28,849
- I would very much like to know
- if my son is okay.
- 1411
- 01:10:28,933 --> 01:10:32,019
- If you will be still, I will tell you
- everything I currently know.
- 1412
- 01:10:32,102 --> 01:10:34,021
- I will not be lectured
- 1413
- 01:10:34,104 --> 01:10:36,398
- and this will not devolve
- into a shouting match.
- 1414
- 01:10:36,482 --> 01:10:38,400
- When did I ever shout at you?
- 1415
- 01:10:38,484 --> 01:10:39,401
- Ma'am...
- 1416
- 01:10:42,071 --> 01:10:42,905
- Fine.
- 1417
- 01:10:42,988 --> 01:10:44,573
- I will tell you what I know.
- 1418
- 01:10:44,657 --> 01:10:47,451
- You will quietly and politely listen,
- 1419
- 01:10:47,534 --> 01:10:49,662
- or I will simply walk out that door
- 1420
- 01:10:49,745 --> 01:10:52,331
- and you can find out what it is
- you want to know in due course.
- 1421
- 01:10:52,414 --> 01:10:53,540
- Understood?
- 1422
- 01:10:55,793 --> 01:10:57,836
- Who is your supervisor?
- 1423
- 01:11:02,841 --> 01:11:04,176
- Sorry, understood.
- 1424
- 01:11:05,886 --> 01:11:06,804
- Excuse me?
- 1425
- 01:11:13,269 --> 01:11:14,603
- I said "understood."
- 1426
- 01:11:15,854 --> 01:11:16,730
- Good.
- 1427
- 01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:18,607
- This is what I know.
- 1428
- 01:11:19,525 --> 01:11:22,736
- At approximately 02:15 this morning,
- 1429
- 01:11:22,820 --> 01:11:26,782
- a late model silver Lexus was pulled over
- by a patrol officer.
- 1430
- 01:11:27,157 --> 01:11:30,119
- That Lexus is registered
- to a Scott Alan Connor.
- 1431
- 01:11:30,202 --> 01:11:31,453
- That's my husband.
- 1432
- 01:11:31,537 --> 01:11:34,832
- Three African-American males
- have been taken into police custody
- 1433
- 01:11:34,915 --> 01:11:36,292
- in connection with the incident.
- 1434
- 01:11:36,375 --> 01:11:38,210
- We don't know much more
- about the stop except...
- 1435
- 01:11:38,294 --> 01:11:39,878
- -The cop shot at someone.
- -I won't compete
- 1436
- 01:11:39,962 --> 01:11:42,631
- -with your outrage and speculation.
- -I saw a video.
- 1437
- 01:11:42,715 --> 01:11:44,341
- There were shots fired.
- 1438
- 01:11:45,009 --> 01:11:47,886
- -I don't have confirmation of that.
- -But I heard it.
- 1439
- 01:11:48,512 --> 01:11:49,847
- I heard it.
- 1440
- 01:11:49,930 --> 01:11:53,809
- You heard noises on a grainy video.
- I'm trying to get facts.
- 1441
- 01:11:53,892 --> 01:11:55,936
- He called one of the kids a nigger.
- 1442
- 01:11:56,020 --> 01:11:57,396
- If you'll let me finish...
- 1443
- 01:11:57,479 --> 01:11:59,606
- He called him a nigger.
- I saw it. I heard it.
- 1444
- 01:11:59,690 --> 01:12:01,150
- -No, ma'am.
- -You saw it!
- 1445
- 01:12:01,233 --> 01:12:02,151
- Incorrect.
- 1446
- 01:12:02,234 --> 01:12:05,279
- One of the people taken into custody
- was a bystander,
- 1447
- 01:12:05,654 --> 01:12:07,072
- a black bystander,
- 1448
- 01:12:07,156 --> 01:12:09,366
- who shot that footage with his cell phone.
- 1449
- 01:12:09,450 --> 01:12:11,201
- It's his voice you hear on the video.
- 1450
- 01:12:11,285 --> 01:12:13,287
- Not the voice
- of a law enforcement officer.
- 1451
- 01:12:25,174 --> 01:12:28,427
- Why was Jamal stopped?
- He-- He doesn't drink.
- 1452
- 01:12:29,553 --> 01:12:31,638
- We just bought the car.
- The brake lights were working.
- 1453
- 01:12:31,722 --> 01:12:33,265
- -Ma'am--
- -He had his registration
- 1454
- 01:12:33,349 --> 01:12:34,600
- and insurance card with him.
- 1455
- 01:12:34,683 --> 01:12:36,310
- -I made sure of that.
- -Ma'am.
- 1456
- 01:12:36,393 --> 01:12:38,604
- He wouldn't have given anyone
- any reason to stop him.
- 1457
- 01:12:38,687 --> 01:12:41,440
- No one has said your son was stopped.
- 1458
- 01:12:41,523 --> 01:12:44,985
- There are at least three individuals
- involved in this incident.
- 1459
- 01:12:45,736 --> 01:12:49,406
- I don't know who was driving the vehicle
- when it was pulled over,
- 1460
- 01:12:49,490 --> 01:12:50,908
- and neither do you.
- 1461
- 01:12:52,034 --> 01:12:54,244
- You'll cause yourself
- a lot less heartache
- 1462
- 01:12:54,328 --> 01:12:57,206
- if you'll stop jumping to conclusions.
- 1463
- 01:12:57,831 --> 01:13:01,418
- At the moment... I don't know
- why the car was stopped. Okay?
- 1464
- 01:13:01,502 --> 01:13:02,378
- Okay.
- 1465
- 01:13:02,461 --> 01:13:04,922
- And right now,
- what I've told you is all I know.
- 1466
- 01:13:05,005 --> 01:13:05,839
- All right.
- 1467
- 01:13:05,923 --> 01:13:07,800
- As soon as I know anything else,
- I'll immediately--
- 1468
- 01:13:07,883 --> 01:13:09,134
- Fine!
- 1469
- 01:13:15,891 --> 01:13:17,434
- I will tell you this.
- 1470
- 01:13:18,894 --> 01:13:22,564
- The car had a bumper sticker on it
- that raises some concerns.
- 1471
- 01:13:25,442 --> 01:13:27,111
- I am aware of that.
- 1472
- 01:13:29,238 --> 01:13:32,449
- Kind of makes your close scrutiny
- of your son's insurance
- 1473
- 01:13:32,533 --> 01:13:35,077
- and registration card moot,
- now doesn't it?
- 1474
- 01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:36,412
- I don't see how.
- 1475
- 01:13:36,495 --> 01:13:38,914
- Come on, my sister,
- I know you know better than that.
- 1476
- 01:13:38,997 --> 01:13:40,332
- I am not your sister.
- 1477
- 01:13:40,416 --> 01:13:41,875
- A black boy in that car
- 1478
- 01:13:41,959 --> 01:13:43,544
- with a bumper sticker like that?
- 1479
- 01:13:43,627 --> 01:13:44,753
- He's asking for trouble.
- 1480
- 01:13:44,837 --> 01:13:46,505
- And what does that tell you?
- 1481
- 01:13:46,588 --> 01:13:51,677
- It tells me that the world is not the same
- for people who look like you and me.
- 1482
- 01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:53,262
- -Oh, Jesus Christ.
- -Yes.
- 1483
- 01:13:53,345 --> 01:13:54,763
- That's what it tells me.
- 1484
- 01:13:54,847 --> 01:13:58,350
- And it tells me that the people
- who patrol the streets
- 1485
- 01:13:58,434 --> 01:14:01,770
- with legal authority to use deadly force
- are not robots.
- 1486
- 01:14:01,854 --> 01:14:04,231
- They help their kids
- brush their teeth at night
- 1487
- 01:14:04,314 --> 01:14:05,899
- and read them Dr. Seuss
- 1488
- 01:14:05,983 --> 01:14:08,610
- and pray they get to do it again
- the next night.
- 1489
- 01:14:08,694 --> 01:14:12,406
- And when they see some nihilistic,
- agitating young thug,
- 1490
- 01:14:12,489 --> 01:14:14,700
- -pride may get the best of them.
- -Who do you think you are
- 1491
- 01:14:14,783 --> 01:14:15,951
- calling my son a thug?
- 1492
- 01:14:16,410 --> 01:14:18,745
- Running cover for some cracker-ass cop.
- 1493
- 01:14:19,955 --> 01:14:20,914
- The cop is black.
- 1494
- 01:14:22,666 --> 01:14:24,251
- The one who made the stop...
- 1495
- 01:14:24,334 --> 01:14:25,961
- he's black as you and me.
- 1496
- 01:14:26,628 --> 01:14:28,255
- Let me tell you something, lady.
- 1497
- 01:14:28,881 --> 01:14:30,799
- I parachuted out of planes.
- 1498
- 01:14:30,883 --> 01:14:33,594
- I crawled through VC tunnels in Vietnam,
- 1499
- 01:14:33,677 --> 01:14:36,930
- but the most scared I have ever been
- in my life, ever,
- 1500
- 01:14:37,473 --> 01:14:40,350
- was when I made my first traffic stop
- on a ghetto street.
- 1501
- 01:14:40,434 --> 01:14:41,268
- You know why?
- 1502
- 01:14:41,810 --> 01:14:45,397
- Because there are hip-hop songs
- and bumper stickers
- 1503
- 01:14:45,481 --> 01:14:47,441
- and mobs shutting down the interstate
- 1504
- 01:14:47,524 --> 01:14:49,485
- saying that the cops are the enemy.
- 1505
- 01:14:49,860 --> 01:14:52,196
- So it's okay to challenge them,
- it's okay to question them.
- 1506
- 01:14:52,279 --> 01:14:54,740
- If they pull you over,
- it's okay to bust out with an attitude
- 1507
- 01:14:54,823 --> 01:14:56,492
- and act like gangsters
- and have swagger.
- 1508
- 01:14:56,575 --> 01:14:59,119
- You step up to a cop,
- that makes you hard, right?
- 1509
- 01:14:59,203 --> 01:15:01,330
- Well, all that bullshit gets cops killed.
- 1510
- 01:15:01,413 --> 01:15:04,374
- I don't know who you're talking about,
- but that is not my son.
- 1511
- 01:15:04,458 --> 01:15:07,961
- My son was taught to be respectful
- and assert his rights.
- 1512
- 01:15:08,045 --> 01:15:12,633
- When I pull you over, you got no grounds
- to "assert your rights."
- 1513
- 01:15:12,716 --> 01:15:14,760
- You know what you got the right to do?
- 1514
- 01:15:14,843 --> 01:15:16,929
- Shut up and do what I say.
- 1515
- 01:15:18,347 --> 01:15:20,557
- I can't believe what I'm hearing.
- 1516
- 01:15:20,641 --> 01:15:23,894
- You serve us. Not the other way around.
- 1517
- 01:15:23,977 --> 01:15:27,272
- What if your car matches one
- in an Amber Alert?
- 1518
- 01:15:27,773 --> 01:15:31,401
- What if you fit the BOLO of someone
- who just shot up a school?
- 1519
- 01:15:31,485 --> 01:15:34,821
- When you get pulled over,
- you got no idea what it might be.
- 1520
- 01:15:34,905 --> 01:15:37,407
- Some hard-acting fool
- just gets in the way.
- 1521
- 01:15:37,491 --> 01:15:39,952
- Maybe if you'd have grown up
- in the Pork 'n' Beans like me,
- 1522
- 01:15:40,035 --> 01:15:43,080
- you'd understand that black boys
- don't act gangsta to be hard.
- 1523
- 01:15:44,456 --> 01:15:46,416
- They do it to hide their fear.
- 1524
- 01:15:46,500 --> 01:15:48,126
- I come up in Overtown, lady.
- 1525
- 01:15:48,627 --> 01:15:51,171
- Ain't nobody got to tell me
- why they do what they do.
- 1526
- 01:15:51,255 --> 01:15:52,172
- But hold up.
- 1527
- 01:15:52,256 --> 01:15:55,717
- Y'all's family is living
- the American Dream, ain't ya?
- 1528
- 01:15:56,134 --> 01:15:58,554
- Your son got no reason
- to be afraid, right?
- 1529
- 01:15:58,929 --> 01:16:01,139
- Is that what I'm supposed to be doing?
- 1530
- 01:16:01,223 --> 01:16:03,475
- Teaching him to be scared?
- 1531
- 01:16:03,559 --> 01:16:05,561
- Be a good boy, keep his mouth shut?
- 1532
- 01:16:05,644 --> 01:16:07,062
- -Damn right.
- 1533
- 01:16:07,145 --> 01:16:10,440
- And make sure he understands,
- that for us...
- 1534
- 01:16:10,524 --> 01:16:12,276
- there ain't no American Dream.
- 1535
- 01:16:14,236 --> 01:16:18,448
- Well, I guess I just wasn't raised
- to be a bitter Uncle Tom like you.
- 1536
- 01:16:19,700 --> 01:16:20,867
- Lady, you got a nerve.
- 1537
- 01:16:20,951 --> 01:16:22,244
- You damn right, I do.
- 1538
- 01:16:22,327 --> 01:16:23,829
- - I'll tell ya...
- -Mm-hmm.
- 1539
- 01:16:23,912 --> 01:16:25,330
- ...two minutes with you,
- 1540
- 01:16:25,872 --> 01:16:27,541
- and I know your whole adult life.
- 1541
- 01:16:27,624 --> 01:16:29,001
- -Oh, bullshit.
- -No, but I do.
- 1542
- 01:16:29,835 --> 01:16:31,545
- I know you got a husband
- 1543
- 01:16:32,087 --> 01:16:34,673
- carries around a picture of you
- on his phone,
- 1544
- 01:16:34,756 --> 01:16:37,884
- and every time he say
- some fool-ass racist remark,
- 1545
- 01:16:37,968 --> 01:16:39,428
- he pull out that picture and go,
- 1546
- 01:16:39,511 --> 01:16:42,222
- "Oh, no, not me.
- 'Cause looky here at my black wife."
- 1547
- 01:16:43,390 --> 01:16:47,853
- I know you could never explain to him
- that pain in your heart.
- 1548
- 01:16:48,937 --> 01:16:51,273
- That pain that claws out your contentment
- 1549
- 01:16:51,356 --> 01:16:54,735
- because every public service announcement
- for hepatitis C
- 1550
- 01:16:54,818 --> 01:16:57,571
- and every malt liquor billboard
- got somebody on it
- 1551
- 01:16:57,654 --> 01:16:59,364
- look just like your baby boy.
- 1552
- 01:17:00,157 --> 01:17:04,995
- Or why your son was the tallest
- and the smartest kid in third grade,
- 1553
- 01:17:05,078 --> 01:17:07,247
- but the teacher never seemed
- to call on him
- 1554
- 01:17:07,331 --> 01:17:10,042
- no matter how high
- he raised his little brown hand.
- 1555
- 01:17:10,125 --> 01:17:14,046
- See, 'cause that's a pain
- your man could never understand.
- 1556
- 01:17:14,129 --> 01:17:17,507
- So you tried to kill that pain
- by making your son proud
- 1557
- 01:17:17,591 --> 01:17:19,718
- and telling him to live
- the American Dream
- 1558
- 01:17:19,801 --> 01:17:22,346
- and teaching him to assert his rights,
- 1559
- 01:17:22,429 --> 01:17:25,557
- instead of teaching him how to survive
- as a black man in this country.
- 1560
- 01:17:25,641 --> 01:17:26,808
- Fuck you!
- 1561
- 01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:31,188
- One thing I already know for sure
- about this incident.
- 1562
- 01:17:31,271 --> 01:17:33,523
- Just like almost every other one of them,
- 1563
- 01:17:34,024 --> 01:17:36,693
- if the young brothers
- would have just shut their mouths
- 1564
- 01:17:36,777 --> 01:17:38,528
- and done what they were told,
- 1565
- 01:17:38,904 --> 01:17:40,656
- none of us would be here tonight,
- 1566
- 01:17:41,406 --> 01:17:43,158
- which is what I suggest you do.
- 1567
- 01:17:44,034 --> 01:17:44,868
- Sit tight.
- 1568
- 01:17:46,244 --> 01:17:47,120
- And shut up.
- 1569
- 01:17:49,873 --> 01:17:50,707
- And, sister,
- 1570
- 01:17:51,291 --> 01:17:53,710
- next time you call a black man
- an Uncle Tom,
- 1571
- 01:17:54,044 --> 01:17:56,171
- it'd play a whole lot better
- if that black man
- 1572
- 01:17:56,254 --> 01:17:59,257
- hadn't just dragged your white husband
- out the room in handcuffs.
- 1573
- 01:18:24,366 --> 01:18:27,285
- They booked me.
- Gave me a "promise to appear."
- 1574
- 01:18:27,369 --> 01:18:28,578
- Stupid. Stupid...
- 1575
- 01:18:28,662 --> 01:18:30,706
- I don't understand this.
- I don't understand...
- 1576
- 01:18:30,789 --> 01:18:32,791
- Why did you walk up to me
- at Carl and Joy's party?
- 1577
- 01:18:33,542 --> 01:18:34,376
- What?
- 1578
- 01:18:34,459 --> 01:18:37,379
- The first time we ever met,
- why did you walk up to me?
- 1579
- 01:18:37,462 --> 01:18:38,839
- Why did I... oh...
- 1580
- 01:18:38,922 --> 01:18:40,924
- -Kenny... What? Now?
- -Tell me.
- 1581
- 01:18:41,007 --> 01:18:43,176
- -Tell me again. Please.
- -Babe. I...
- 1582
- 01:18:45,929 --> 01:18:46,763
- Hey.
- 1583
- 01:18:49,766 --> 01:18:50,600
- Because...
- 1584
- 01:18:54,020 --> 01:18:55,522
- Because I was staring at you?
- 1585
- 01:18:55,605 --> 01:18:57,482
- No. I was staring at you.
- I couldn't help myself.
- 1586
- 01:18:57,566 --> 01:18:58,775
- -What else?
- -I, um...
- 1587
- 01:18:58,859 --> 01:18:59,693
- What else?
- 1588
- 01:18:59,776 --> 01:19:02,529
- You don't think Jamal got himself
- into some kind of situation...
- 1589
- 01:19:02,654 --> 01:19:05,949
- We were standing on Carl and Joy's patio
- and we were staring at each other...
- 1590
- 01:19:06,032 --> 01:19:07,743
- That's right.
- We were staring at each other.
- 1591
- 01:19:07,826 --> 01:19:09,453
- We couldn't take our eyes off each other.
- 1592
- 01:19:09,536 --> 01:19:10,912
- - And?
- -And I...
- 1593
- 01:19:11,580 --> 01:19:12,456
- walked over.
- 1594
- 01:19:12,539 --> 01:19:13,832
- You walked over to me.
- 1595
- 01:19:13,915 --> 01:19:16,293
- And my heart was beating
- so fast I could hardly talk.
- 1596
- 01:19:16,376 --> 01:19:19,212
- And there were all these girls
- parading back and forth to the bar,
- 1597
- 01:19:19,296 --> 01:19:20,756
- but you never looked at one of them.
- 1598
- 01:19:20,839 --> 01:19:23,842
- You just kept walking and staring at me.
- 1599
- 01:19:24,551 --> 01:19:25,969
- - Yeah.
- 1600
- 01:19:26,052 --> 01:19:27,971
- -But then you looked up.
- - I looked up.
- 1601
- 01:19:28,054 --> 01:19:29,097
- Right past me.
- 1602
- 01:19:29,431 --> 01:19:33,477
- And I thought... "Okay. Maybe not."
- 1603
- 01:19:33,727 --> 01:19:35,228
- - But I...
- - But you...
- 1604
- 01:19:35,312 --> 01:19:36,897
- ...put my hand on your shoulder.
- 1605
- 01:19:36,980 --> 01:19:38,815
- And you pointed out a bird...
- 1606
- 01:19:40,317 --> 01:19:41,443
- in a tree.
- 1607
- 01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:48,408
- This gorgeous little red bird.
- 1608
- 01:19:48,492 --> 01:19:49,785
- And it flew away.
- 1609
- 01:19:49,868 --> 01:19:52,204
- And you told me it was tired of being...
- 1610
- 01:19:52,287 --> 01:19:55,415
- The second most beautiful creature
- at the party.
- 1611
- 01:19:56,750 --> 01:19:59,211
- - That's what you said.
- - That's right.
- 1612
- 01:20:00,462 --> 01:20:02,088
- -Hey.
- 1613
- 01:20:02,798 --> 01:20:04,257
- Hey, come here.
- 1614
- 01:20:07,260 --> 01:20:09,262
- It's okay. It's okay.
- 1615
- 01:20:12,849 --> 01:20:14,601
- -It's coming apart.
- -Mm-mmm.
- 1616
- 01:20:14,684 --> 01:20:16,520
- Yeah, everything's coming apart.
- 1617
- 01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:18,313
- Kenny.
- 1618
- 01:20:22,192 --> 01:20:23,777
- I know you're not coming back.
- 1619
- 01:20:28,907 --> 01:20:31,493
- It-- it hurts, Scott.
- 1620
- 01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:35,372
- It hurts.
- 1621
- 01:20:36,331 --> 01:20:37,958
- And the fact that she's white
- 1622
- 01:20:38,583 --> 01:20:40,710
- makes it almost unbearable.
- 1623
- 01:20:45,006 --> 01:20:46,258
- I don't love her.
- 1624
- 01:20:47,509 --> 01:20:48,593
- Oh...
- 1625
- 01:20:50,303 --> 01:20:52,055
- Then why?
- 1626
- 01:20:54,349 --> 01:20:55,267
- I just...
- 1627
- 01:20:58,311 --> 01:21:00,105
- I don't...
- 1628
- 01:21:25,922 --> 01:21:28,216
- - Kenny. Ken.
- - No.
- 1629
- 01:21:35,932 --> 01:21:38,560
- We made a magnificent person,
- didn't we?
- 1630
- 01:21:39,060 --> 01:21:39,936
- We did.
- 1631
- 01:21:42,898 --> 01:21:44,190
- I was thinking...
- 1632
- 01:21:45,150 --> 01:21:46,359
- before you came back,
- 1633
- 01:21:46,443 --> 01:21:48,528
- about that time
- when you and I were fighting--
- 1634
- 01:21:48,612 --> 01:21:50,405
- I don't even remember what it was about--
- 1635
- 01:21:50,488 --> 01:21:54,409
- But Jamal was a baby, and I was upset.
- 1636
- 01:21:55,201 --> 01:21:58,747
- And he thought that I was crying
- about the thunder and the lightning...
- 1637
- 01:21:58,830 --> 01:22:01,833
- -I remember.
- -And he said...
- 1638
- 01:22:02,542 --> 01:22:04,669
- "Don't cry, Mama.
- 1639
- 01:22:04,753 --> 01:22:08,173
- It's just God taking pictures
- of the rain."
- 1640
- 01:22:08,256 --> 01:22:10,800
- Yeah. We...
- 1641
- 01:22:10,884 --> 01:22:13,428
- We put it in his baby book.
- 1642
- 01:22:13,511 --> 01:22:16,222
- And he... He grabbed my tears
- 1643
- 01:22:16,848 --> 01:22:21,102
- with his itty-bitty hands
- and he tried to put them back in my eyes.
- 1644
- 01:22:24,314 --> 01:22:25,440
- Oh!
- 1645
- 01:22:29,611 --> 01:22:31,988
- -Last night, I told him...
- 1646
- 01:22:33,823 --> 01:22:34,658
- What?
- 1647
- 01:22:37,202 --> 01:22:38,036
- What?
- 1648
- 01:22:39,996 --> 01:22:42,332
- -Ken. Kenny? Kenny.
- -No.
- 1649
- 01:22:51,049 --> 01:22:57,138
- We were both furious,
- and he was yelling at me, and-- and I...
- 1650
- 01:22:57,597 --> 01:22:59,891
- -You what?
- - I said things to him.
- 1651
- 01:22:59,975 --> 01:23:00,976
- Okay. What things?
- 1652
- 01:23:01,059 --> 01:23:03,061
- -Oh, God.
- -Kendra. Hey, hey.
- 1653
- 01:23:03,812 --> 01:23:05,021
- -Ken...
- -Horrible...
- 1654
- 01:23:05,605 --> 01:23:06,439
- Hey.
- 1655
- 01:23:06,523 --> 01:23:07,399
- ...ugly...
- 1656
- 01:23:10,568 --> 01:23:13,238
- things a mother
- should never say to a child.
- 1657
- 01:23:13,321 --> 01:23:14,489
- -Okay.
- -Oh, God.
- 1658
- 01:23:19,244 --> 01:23:21,705
- I just wanna hold him.
- 1659
- 01:23:25,166 --> 01:23:28,586
- I wanna look him in the eyes
- and I just wanna--
- 1660
- 01:23:28,670 --> 01:23:31,464
- I wanna take every word I said
- out of his head
- 1661
- 01:23:31,548 --> 01:23:33,383
- and bury it in the ground.
- 1662
- 01:23:33,466 --> 01:23:35,593
- -It's okay.
- -God damn it! "Shoot cops."
- 1663
- 01:23:41,391 --> 01:23:45,353
- I should-- I should have
- gone out there with a razor
- 1664
- 01:23:45,437 --> 01:23:47,939
- and peeled that goddamn thing
- off his car.
- 1665
- 01:23:48,023 --> 01:23:48,857
- No.
- 1666
- 01:23:48,940 --> 01:23:50,859
- I should've gone out there
- as soon as I saw it.
- 1667
- 01:23:50,942 --> 01:23:52,527
- Shouldn't matter,
- shouldn't make a difference.
- 1668
- 01:23:52,610 --> 01:23:54,654
- It's not your fault. It's not his fault.
- 1669
- 01:23:54,738 --> 01:23:57,866
- I'll never say a cross word to him again.
- I just need to know he's okay.
- 1670
- 01:23:57,949 --> 01:23:59,159
- He is. He's okay.
- 1671
- 01:23:59,242 --> 01:24:01,036
- -Please, Jesus, let him be okay.
- -He's okay.
- 1672
- 01:24:01,536 --> 01:24:02,454
- He's okay.
- 1673
- 01:24:05,165 --> 01:24:06,916
- -He's okay.
- 1674
- 01:24:18,428 --> 01:24:23,475
- Your son, Jamal Connor,
- was a rear seat passenger
- 1675
- 01:24:23,558 --> 01:24:26,686
- in a vehicle with a Jarvis Bell
- 1676
- 01:24:26,770 --> 01:24:28,396
- and a DeShawn Rolle.
- 1677
- 01:24:29,147 --> 01:24:32,400
- Bell was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant
- for marijuana possession.
- 1678
- 01:24:33,651 --> 01:24:36,154
- The car was tailed by a Metro cruiser
- 1679
- 01:24:36,237 --> 01:24:38,865
- near the Scott Projects in Liberty City,
- 1680
- 01:24:38,948 --> 01:24:42,744
- where the driver was observed
- purchasing a nickel bag of marijuana.
- 1681
- 01:24:42,827 --> 01:24:43,703
- God damn it.
- 1682
- 01:24:43,787 --> 01:24:48,124
- Following the purchase,
- while driving westbound on 79th Street,
- 1683
- 01:24:48,208 --> 01:24:50,794
- the car was approached
- by a marked patrol car.
- 1684
- 01:24:50,877 --> 01:24:54,672
- Officer Rodney Banks,
- who had witnessed the purchase,
- 1685
- 01:24:54,756 --> 01:24:55,924
- pulled the car over.
- 1686
- 01:24:57,050 --> 01:24:58,968
- The camera on the patrol car
- 1687
- 01:24:59,052 --> 01:25:02,639
- shows Officer Banks approaching
- the driver's side of the vehicle.
- 1688
- 01:25:03,306 --> 01:25:05,517
- Mr. Bell was driving the car.
- 1689
- 01:25:06,684 --> 01:25:10,563
- The officer returns to his vehicle
- with the occupants' identification
- 1690
- 01:25:10,647 --> 01:25:14,067
- and apparently begins checking them
- on his laptop.
- 1691
- 01:25:14,692 --> 01:25:20,115
- After approximately 30 seconds,
- Mr. Bell exits the vehicle
- 1692
- 01:25:20,198 --> 01:25:21,950
- and attempts to approach the officer.
- 1693
- 01:25:22,408 --> 01:25:25,829
- The officer pulls his gun
- and gets Mr. Bell to the ground.
- 1694
- 01:25:25,912 --> 01:25:26,746
- Oh, God.
- 1695
- 01:25:26,830 --> 01:25:28,790
- As the officer calls for backup,
- 1696
- 01:25:28,873 --> 01:25:31,960
- DeShawn Rolle exits
- from the rear of the vehicle.
- 1697
- 01:25:32,043 --> 01:25:34,462
- The officer trains his gun on Rolle.
- 1698
- 01:25:35,171 --> 01:25:38,258
- At that moment,
- Jamal Connor exits the vehicle
- 1699
- 01:25:38,341 --> 01:25:40,969
- in an apparent effort
- to place his hands on the hood of the car.
- 1700
- 01:25:41,052 --> 01:25:43,304
- -No.
- - It's wet, he may have slipped,
- 1701
- 01:25:43,388 --> 01:25:48,143
- as Jarvis Bell simultaneously
- begins to stand up and take flight.
- 1702
- 01:25:48,518 --> 01:25:51,938
- The officer, now confronted
- with all three vehicle occupants,
- 1703
- 01:25:52,021 --> 01:25:53,356
- one of whom has a warrant,
- 1704
- 01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:55,692
- and not having searched the vehicle
- for a possible weapon...
- 1705
- 01:25:55,775 --> 01:25:56,651
- Oh, no.
- 1706
- 01:25:57,235 --> 01:25:59,863
- ...fires three shots
- at the fleeing suspect.
- 1707
- 01:26:00,864 --> 01:26:03,449
- Either a stray shot or a ricochet,
- we don't know which yet,
- 1708
- 01:26:04,117 --> 01:26:05,869
- strikes Jamal Connor in the head...
- 1709
- 01:26:07,620 --> 01:26:08,830
- killing him instantly.
- 1710
- 01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:13,042
- I am...
- 1711
- 01:26:13,585 --> 01:26:15,295
- terribly sorry for your loss.
- 1712
- 01:26:15,378 --> 01:26:16,254
- No...
- 1713
- 01:26:16,588 --> 01:26:18,047
- No!
- 1714
- 01:26:18,756 --> 01:26:21,092
- There will be a full inquiry.
- 1715
- 01:26:21,176 --> 01:26:22,886
- No, no.
- 1716
- 01:26:22,969 --> 01:26:24,262
- I'll give you a moment.
- 1717
- 01:26:26,723 --> 01:26:27,891
- No...
- 1718
- 01:26:34,022 --> 01:26:36,691
- I can't breathe.
