American Son (2019)

1
00:01:27,837 --> 00:01:29,255
Jamal.

2
00:01:30,048 --> 00:01:31,549
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
<i>It's me again. Honey, I'm sorry. I...</i>

7
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:50,401
I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to get angry.

8
00:01:50,485 --> 00:01:51,903
Call me, please.

9
00:02:26,437 --> 00:02:28,916
- <i>Hello. Hey, it's Jeffrey.</i>
- Hi, this is...

10
00:02:28,940 --> 00:02:30,066
- Shit.
<i>- Leave a message,</i>

11
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:31,276
<i>and I'll get back to you.</i>

12
00:02:32,402 --> 00:02:35,155
Jeffrey, this is Jamal's mother.

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...

17
00:02:45,832 --> 00:02:47,417
I thought he might be with you.

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 --> 00:03:08,687
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 --> 00:03:35,317
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 --> 00:03:45,940
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 --> 00:04:09,975
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 --> 00:04:21,779
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 --> 00:05:54,204
- 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 --> 00:06:01,587
- I'm very sorry, ma'am, I...
- Either he's in the system or he isn't.

95
00:06:01,611 --> 00:06:03,371
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 --> 00:06:18,771
- 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 --> 00:07:07,717
Last name, Connor.

114
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:08,760
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 --> 00:07:16,184
Any priors?

120
00:07:17,061 --> 00:07:18,061
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 <i>juvenile</i> 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 --> 00:08:20,081
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 --> 00:08:39,077
It's what I call him now
when I want to knock the cool out of him

155
00:08:39,101 --> 00:08:41,261
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 --> 00:08:59,579
Fine.

161
00:09:04,001 --> 00:09:05,001
Height?

162
00:09:05,962 --> 00:09:06,962
Six-two.

163
00:09:07,630 --> 00:09:09,733
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 --> 00:09:29,734
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 --> 00:09:40,036
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 --> 00:10:16,883
- Does this matter?
- Ma'am...

183
00:10:16,907 --> 00:10:18,635
- 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 --> 00:10:38,155
- Really, I am just looking for...
- He plays the guitar.

193
00:10:38,179 --> 00:10:39,859
- Especially likes blues and rock.
- Ma'am.

194
00:10:39,930 --> 00:10:41,617
- 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 --> 00:10:46,747
...but he's strictly
mainstream classic stuff.

198
00:10:46,771 --> 00:10:48,707
- Clapton. Van Halen.
- Okay.

199
00:10:48,731 --> 00:10:50,667
He throws a mean breaking ball,
whatever that means.

200
00:10:50,691 --> 00:10:52,044
- 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 --> 00:11:09,709
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 --> 00:11:46,079
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 --> 00:12:33,460
Not yet.

225
00:12:34,795 --> 00:12:35,795
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 --> 00:13:57,544
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 --> 00:15:18,331
- 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 --> 00:16:02,604
- 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 --> 00:16:12,197
- 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 --> 00:16:25,710
- 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 --> 00:16:28,797
- No. That is my point.
- Is my son in custody or not?

286
00:16:28,821 --> 00:16:30,501
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 --> 00:16:34,588
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 --> 00:16:42,185
- 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 <i>while.</i>

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 --> 00:17:53,112
Fine.

314
00:17:59,495 --> 00:18:00,495
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 --> 00:18:12,734
- 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 --> 00:18:26,060
I understand you're tense.

328
00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:27,791
I understand this must be upsetting.

329
00:18:27,815 --> 00:18:29,709
- 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 --> 00:18:34,403
Okay.

332
00:18:36,657 --> 00:18:37,657
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 --> 00:19:01,139
All right.

342
00:19:03,851 --> 00:19:04,851
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 --> 00:19:26,080
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 --> 00:19:44,826
- "Diffuse the situation."
- No.

354
00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:46,411
- "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 --> 00:20:01,699
Sure.

361
00:20:03,410 --> 00:20:04,286
You...

362
00:20:04,369 --> 00:20:05,369
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 <i>swear,</i> 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 --> 00:21:04,530
It's out the door,
around the corner to your left.

378
00:21:04,554 --> 00:21:05,949
- Thank you.
- There's two, actually.

379
00:21:05,973 --> 00:21:07,784
- 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 --> 00:21:11,287
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 --> 00:21:24,907
Yeah.

385
00:21:28,370 --> 00:21:29,370
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 --> 00:22:02,862
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 --> 00:23:30,301
- Exigent circumstances, I guess.
- Okay.

412
00:23:30,325 --> 00:23:33,245
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 --> 00:23:38,142
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 --> 00:23:47,018
- Sorry. It's Officer Larkin, right?
- Yeah.

419
00:23:47,050 --> 00:23:49,112
Let me just back up,
make sure I understand what it is...

420
00:23:49,136 --> 00:23:51,536
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 --> 00:24:17,643
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 --> 00:24:29,610
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 --> 00:24:37,558
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 --> 00:24:45,835
- 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 --> 00:24:56,971
- Shit. I knew that.
- It's okay.

446
00:24:56,995 --> 00:24:58,473
- Of course.
- God damn it. I got him the car.

447
00:24:58,497 --> 00:25:00,141
- You know I knew that.
- Hey, I said it's okay.

448
00:25:00,165 --> 00:25:02,560
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 --> 00:25:08,657
I wanna know what's going on with my son,
you've been in contact with the detective.

452
00:25:08,715 --> 00:25:09,715
I'd like to have a word.

453
00:25:09,758 --> 00:25:10,985
- 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 --> 00:25:15,769
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 --> 00:25:25,333
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 --> 00:25:42,016
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 --> 00:25:48,963
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 --> 00:25:56,637
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 --> 00:26:22,204
Nothing.

481
00:26:29,170 --> 00:26:30,171
- FBI, huh?
- Yeah.

482
00:26:30,255 --> 00:26:31,524
- That's awesome.
- Thanks.

483
00:26:31,548 --> 00:26:32,608
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 --> 00:26:43,452
- 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 --> 00:26:48,191
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 --> 00:26:51,460
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 --> 00:26:55,590
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 --> 00:26:59,010
I'd be happy to put a good word in for you
when the time comes.

498
00:26:59,034 --> 00:27:00,344
- Really?
- Give me a call.

499
00:27:00,368 --> 00:27:01,494
That would be so awesome.

500
00:27:01,578 --> 00:27:02,888
- 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 --> 00:27:16,425
Oh, yeah. Whatever.

509
00:27:16,468 --> 00:27:17,802
He worked very hard.

510
00:27:17,886 --> 00:27:19,572
- 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 --> 00:27:29,897
No cream, no sugar.

516
00:27:29,939 --> 00:27:30,939
I'm on it.

517
00:27:40,617 --> 00:27:41,617
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 --> 00:27:50,709
- Kendra.
- I mean...

523
00:27:50,752 --> 00:27:52,392
- I'm just trying to be civil.
- Whatever.

524
00:27:52,420 --> 00:27:53,898
- 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 --> 00:28:05,034
I think you're assuming the worst,
when the truth be told,

531
00:28:05,058 --> 00:28:06,827
the current situation
is probably a whole nother thing.

532
00:28:06,851 --> 00:28:08,411
- Oh...
- Look, I work at a bureaucracy.

533
00:28:08,436 --> 00:28:10,122
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 --> 00:28:16,443
All?

538
00:28:16,528 --> 00:28:17,904
<i>"All </i>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 --> 00:28:33,711
"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 --> 00:28:37,525
- 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 --> 00:28:43,364
- 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 <i>ain't</i> 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 <i>little</i> 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 --> 00:29:30,911
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 --> 00:29:34,617
rehash the last five years
of our marriage.

570
00:29:34,689 --> 00:29:35,958
- Would that be okay?
- Sure.

571
00:29:35,982 --> 00:29:36,982
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 --> 00:29:54,727
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 --> 00:30:20,567
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 --> 00:30:37,144
- 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 --> 00:30:46,483
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 <i>blessed</i> 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 --> 00:31:57,594
Bobby's like my own mother, you know that.

623
00:31:57,624 --> 00:31:59,351
- 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 --> 00:32:23,417
We haven't really
seen each other since... you know.

630
00:32:23,441 --> 00:32:25,001
- 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 --> 00:32:40,791
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 --> 00:32:54,015
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 --> 00:32:59,370
Which I was okay with.

648
00:32:59,394 --> 00:33:01,288
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 --> 00:33:06,877
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 --> 00:33:35,280
- 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 --> 00:34:07,878
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 --> 00:34:23,495
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 --> 00:34:48,062
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 --> 00:34:54,777
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 --> 00:34:58,537
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 --> 00:35:09,064
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 --> 00:35:26,391
I wouldn't necessarily say
"full of answers."

705
00:35:26,415 --> 00:35:28,268
But he told you Jamal was in a car
with two kids?

706
00:35:28,292 --> 00:35:29,812
- They were stopped.
- Two other black kids.

707
00:35:29,836 --> 00:35:31,796
- Yeah.
- Well, he never told <i>me</i> 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 --> 00:35:38,885
No.

712
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:41,681
And I think you'll agree this demonstrates

713
00:35:41,764 --> 00:35:43,404
- 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 --> 00:35:51,125
No one's saying
he doesn't have a right...

718
00:35:51,149 --> 00:35:52,909
Even if he's in a car
with his <i>black </i>friends!

719
00:35:52,942 --> 00:35:54,622
- What black friends?
- Oh, Scott, come on.

720
00:35:54,652 --> 00:35:55,652
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 --> 00:36:08,433
- 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 <i>exactly</i> 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 --> 00:36:54,545
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 <i>any </i>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 --> 00:37:09,190
Oh, come on, Kenny,
that's not what I'm saying.

751
00:37:09,227 --> 00:37:10,495
- Let me ask you.
- You know that!

752
00:37:10,519 --> 00:37:12,831
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 --> 00:37:19,415
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 --> 00:37:32,666
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 --> 00:37:45,530
- 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 --> 00:38:08,136
- 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 --> 00:38:20,899
- 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 --> 00:38:32,517
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 --> 00:38:47,991
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 --> 00:38:57,751
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 --> 00:39:24,110
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 --> 00:39:57,727
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
<i>Most nights, my eyes fire wide open
out of a sound sleep.</i>

817
00:40:40,354 --> 00:40:44,358
<i>Heart beating so hard
I feel it throbbing in my ears.</i>

818
00:40:44,733 --> 00:40:46,694
<i>Always right about this time.</i>

819
00:40:49,822 --> 00:40:52,032
<i>Too late to go back to sleep...</i>

820
00:40:53,951 --> 00:40:55,995
<i>too early to get on with the day.</i>

821
00:41:00,499 --> 00:41:05,004
<i>You... just snoring away.</i>

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
<i>and listen to him breathe.</i>

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
<i>Stand there and bullshit myself,</i>

827
00:41:36,827 --> 00:41:41,832
<i>"Don't worry, Kendra,
he is big and powerful.</i>

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
<i>And whatever nightmare
that has just woke me up,</i>

831
00:41:56,347 --> 00:42:01,101
<i>someone texting in an SUV
or an errant punch in a bar fight,</i>

832
00:42:01,477 --> 00:42:03,479
<i>a ruptured appendix</i>

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 --> 00:42:44,037
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 --> 00:42:47,415
- Too young?
- We disagreed and we moved on.

843
00:42:47,439 --> 00:42:49,119
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 <i>young?</i>

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
<i>And I see ankle-high boots and...</i>

864
00:44:15,027 --> 00:44:16,070
badges...

865
00:44:19,073 --> 00:44:21,033
<i>and nightsticks.</i>

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 --> 00:45:05,681
This is just some frivolous nonsense.

878
00:45:05,744 --> 00:45:07,624
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 --> 00:45:26,055
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 --> 00:45:59,894
- 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 --> 00:46:26,092
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 --> 00:46:53,745
- don't take it out on him.
- Oh, please.

916
00:46:53,769 --> 00:46:54,929
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 --> 00:47:00,313
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 --> 00:47:25,193
- 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 --> 00:47:37,663
Thanks.

935
00:47:37,729 --> 00:47:39,940
So, I got some more information for you.

936
00:47:40,023 --> 00:47:41,023
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 --> 00:48:35,077
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 --> 00:48:55,723
- 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 --> 00:49:28,399
- I think you're mistaken.
- The rest of it in little fonts,

974
00:49:28,423 --> 00:49:30,943
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 --> 00:49:39,725
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 --> 00:49:58,012
- 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 --> 00:50:16,114
- 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 --> 00:50:30,645
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 --> 00:50:44,100
- 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 --> 00:50:52,900
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 --> 00:51:27,175
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 --> 00:52:02,451
Sure thing.

1034
00:52:04,079 --> 00:52:05,956
- Refill?
- That'd be great.

1035
00:52:15,132 --> 00:52:16,132
"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 --> 00:52:27,120
- "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 --> 00:52:30,581
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 --> 00:53:02,188
they helped build
just so they had something

1052
00:53:02,220 --> 00:53:03,860
to put on their application to Princeton.

1053
00:53:03,889 --> 00:53:05,741
- 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 --> 00:53:19,046
- An awakening? To what?
- Yes.

1057
00:53:19,070 --> 00:53:20,155
To this.

1058
00:53:39,007 --> 00:53:40,007
Okay.

1059
00:53:41,718 --> 00:53:43,470
And?

1060
00:53:44,221 --> 00:53:45,221
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 <i>immense</i> 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 --> 00:55:46,216
I get it.

1091
00:55:48,386 --> 00:55:49,386
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 --> 00:55:56,226
Where?

1094
00:55:56,644 --> 00:55:58,438
Here?

1095
00:55:58,521 --> 00:55:59,521
- Tonight?
- Yeah.

1096
00:55:59,564 --> 00:56:01,004
- Because of a bumper sticker?
- Yes.

1097
00:56:01,066 --> 00:56:02,746
You really think
that's what this is about?

1098
00:56:02,776 --> 00:56:04,253
- 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 --> 00:56:29,403
- Kendra, please.
- Unbelievable.

1110
00:56:29,427 --> 00:56:30,780
- 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 --> 00:58:03,937
<i>all...</i>

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 --> 00:58:34,110
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 --> 00:58:49,566
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 --> 00:59:54,423
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 --> 01:00:07,853
Sex.

1170
01:00:08,605 --> 01:00:09,605
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 --> 01:01:38,530
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 --> 01:01:46,136
"Shoot cops" bumper stickers
and all this micro-aggression bullshit...

1191
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:47,805
- 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 --> 01:01:52,049
He just put it on the car today
or yesterday,

1194
01:01:52,125 --> 01:01:53,325
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 --> 01:02:18,859
Wow.

1205
01:02:19,861 --> 01:02:20,861
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 <i>me.</i>

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 --> 01:03:00,419
- 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 --> 01:04:05,359
- 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
<i>Aw, man. Aw, man.</i>

1246
01:04:12,849 --> 01:04:15,009
- <i>Don't do it, man.
- Nigga, stay down.</i>

1247
01:04:15,059 --> 01:04:16,102
<i>Don't do it, man!</i>

1248
01:04:16,853 --> 01:04:18,145
<i>Stay down, nigga.</i>

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 --> 01:04:24,818
It's, um...

1252
01:04:25,403 --> 01:04:26,403
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
<i>Aw, man. Aw, man.</i>

1257
01:04:39,750 --> 01:04:41,910
- <i>Don't do it, man.
- Nigga, stay down.</i>

1258
01:04:41,961 --> 01:04:43,170
<i>Don't do it, man!</i>

1259
01:04:43,754 --> 01:04:45,131
<i>Stay down, nigga.</i>

1260
01:04:46,632 --> 01:04:47,632
Okay.

1261
01:04:49,093 --> 01:04:50,093
Jesus.

1262
01:04:54,765 --> 01:04:55,765
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 --> 01:05:03,792
- 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 --> 01:05:06,872
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
<i>Aw, man.</i>

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 --> 01:05:25,731
- <i>Stay down, nigga.</i>
- 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 --> 01:05:29,276
- Okay.
- I'm gonna call my brother at the station.

1278
01:05:29,300 --> 01:05:30,861
- I wanna see it again, make sure.
- Give me a second.

1279
01:05:30,885 --> 01:05:32,905
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 --> 01:05:45,815
Okay.

1284
01:05:47,151 --> 01:05:49,071
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 --> 01:05:51,965
- <i>All right?</i>
- 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 --> 01:06:02,992
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 --> 01:06:14,252
- 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 --> 01:06:17,262
- Hey!
- I got your refill.

1300
01:06:17,306 --> 01:06:18,386
- 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
<i>Aw, man. Aw, man.</i>

1304
01:06:30,236 --> 01:06:32,297
- <i>Don't do it, man.
- Nigga, stay down.</i>

1305
01:06:32,321 --> 01:06:33,406
<i>Don't do it, man!</i>

1306
01:06:34,407 --> 01:06:35,658
<i>Stay down, nigga.</i>

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 --> 01:06:43,549
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 --> 01:06:46,937
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 --> 01:06:51,108
- Where did you get it?
- Forget about where we got it.

1314
01:06:51,132 --> 01:06:53,443
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 --> 01:06:57,612
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 --> 01:07:13,922
- I understand.
- We want to talk to him.

1325
01:07:13,946 --> 01:07:15,882
- I'm doing everything I can.
- This is easy!

1326
01:07:15,906 --> 01:07:17,426
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 --> 01:07:31,690
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 --> 01:07:37,614
Sir, you just committed a battery
on a law enforcement officer.

1335
01:07:37,678 --> 01:07:39,948
- That is a second-degree felony.
- Listen to me, you little shit.

1336
01:07:39,972 --> 01:07:41,575
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 --> 01:07:46,304
- 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 --> 01:07:50,834
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 --> 01:07:58,258
- You have the right to remain silent.
- You kidding me?

1345
01:07:58,282 --> 01:08:00,427
Anything you do or say
may be used against you...

1346
01:08:00,451 --> 01:08:02,512
- You're kidding.
- You have the right to consult an attorney

1347
01:08:02,536 --> 01:08:04,139
- before speaking with police.
- You kidding?

1348
01:08:04,163 --> 01:08:05,682
- Afraid not.
- Why am I arrested?

1349
01:08:05,706 --> 01:08:07,100
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 --> 01:08:11,188
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 --> 01:08:23,116
- 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 --> 01:08:27,079
- 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 --> 01:08:40,921
- 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 --> 01:09:12,707
- We wanna know where our son is.
- Quiet.

1380
01:09:12,731 --> 01:09:14,411
We wanna know now.
We wanna know <i>right now.</i>

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 --> 01:09:20,077
I'd hate to see you lose
that badge and pension

1384
01:09:20,156 --> 01:09:21,636
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 --> 01:09:33,728
- Do you understand?
- He understands.

1390
01:09:33,752 --> 01:09:35,272
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 --> 01:09:57,567
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 --> 01:10:01,882
- I'm fine.
- All right.

1404
01:10:01,906 --> 01:10:04,759
- 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 --> 01:10:10,455
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 --> 01:10:39,484
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 --> 01:11:06,886
Excuse me?

1425
01:11:13,269 --> 01:11:14,603
I said "understood."

1426
01:11:15,854 --> 01:11:16,854
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 --> 01:11:38,255
We don't know much more
about the stop except...

1435
01:11:38,294 --> 01:11:39,938
- 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.
<i>- You</i> 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 --> 01:12:31,673
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 --> 01:13:07,859
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 --> 01:14:14,759
- 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 --> 01:14:20,955
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, <i>ever,</i>

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 --> 01:14:41,434
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 --> 01:17:45,034
Sit tight.

1568
01:17:46,244 --> 01:17:47,244
And shut up.

1569
01:17:49,873 --> 01:17:50,873
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 --> 01:18:46,929
Hey.

1583
01:18:49,766 --> 01:18:50,766
Because...

1584
01:18:54,020 --> 01:18:55,522
Because I was staring at you?

1585
01:18:55,605 --> 01:18:57,525
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 --> 01:19:07,752
That's right.
We were staring at each other.

1591
01:19:07,826 --> 01:19:09,466
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 --> 01:19:16,315
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 --> 01:19:35,287
- <i>But I...
- But you...</i>

1604
01:19:35,312 --> 01:19:36,912
<i>...put my hand on your shoulder.</i>

1605
01:19:36,980 --> 01:19:38,815
<i>And you pointed out a bird...</i>

1606
01:19:40,317 --> 01:19:41,443
<i>in a tree.</i>

1607
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:48,408
<i>This gorgeous little red bird.</i>

1608
01:19:48,492 --> 01:19:49,785
<i>And it flew away.</i>

1609
01:19:49,868 --> 01:19:52,204
<i>And you told me it was tired of being...</i>

1610
01:19:52,287 --> 01:19:55,415
<i>The second most beautiful creature
at the party.</i>

1611
01:19:56,750 --> 01:19:59,211
- <i>That's what you said.
- That's right.</i>

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 --> 01:20:18,479
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 --> 01:20:55,349
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 --> 01:21:40,060
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 --> 01:22:34,823
<i>What?</i>

1647
01:22:37,202 --> 01:22:38,202
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 --> 01:23:07,523
...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 --> 01:23:52,586
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 --> 01:24:01,042
- Please, Jesus, let him be okay.
- He's okay.

1672
01:24:01,536 --> 01:24:02,536
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
<i>pulled the car over.</i>

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 --> 01:25:55,751
and not having searched the vehicle
for a possible weapon...

1705
01:25:55,775 --> 01:25:56,775
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 --> 01:26:16,378
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
