1
00:00:00,313 --> 00:00:02,531
Previously on "NCIS: New Orleans":

2
00:00:02,556 --> 00:00:03,883
NOPD!

3
00:00:03,908 --> 00:00:06,386
Officer down.

4
00:00:06,430 --> 00:00:08,823
Mark Palmer, a 12-year
veteran of the NOPD.

5
00:00:08,867 --> 00:00:12,897
The D.A. is taking a fresh look
into some excessive force cases.

6
00:00:12,922 --> 00:00:15,179
This is the first time I've
ever had the mayor get involved.

7
00:00:15,203 --> 00:00:18,161
- Not trying to step on any toes.
- You can step on anything you want

8
00:00:18,186 --> 00:00:19,419
if it helps me get to the truth.

9
00:00:19,443 --> 00:00:21,371
Then these cops show up out of nowhere,

10
00:00:21,396 --> 00:00:22,757
started beating the hell out of me.

11
00:00:22,781 --> 00:00:24,996
These three guys had multiple complaints

12
00:00:25,021 --> 00:00:26,396
filed against them over the years.

13
00:00:26,421 --> 00:00:29,258
This is starting to sound like it
wasn't just a random cop killing.

14
00:00:29,283 --> 00:00:31,068
These last few months
have been rough on her.

15
00:00:31,093 --> 00:00:33,575
Seeing Loretta struggle
like this makes me wonder

16
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,709
how any of us are gonna get through it.

17
00:00:35,734 --> 00:00:38,039
NOPD spotted the man who
killed Officer Palmer.

18
00:00:38,064 --> 00:00:40,440
Yeah, I was in fear for my life,
so I took appropriate action.

19
00:00:40,464 --> 00:00:41,667
We're too late, Pride.

20
00:00:41,692 --> 00:00:43,558
None of this has
anything to do with you.

21
00:00:43,582 --> 00:00:44,903
You abuse the badge

22
00:00:44,946 --> 00:00:47,118
and that reflects on
all of us who wear it.

23
00:00:47,143 --> 00:00:48,448
So get ready.

24
00:00:48,473 --> 00:00:49,822
I'm coming for you.

25
00:01:02,225 --> 00:01:04,010
World is falling apart, I'm telling you.

26
00:01:04,035 --> 00:01:06,290
- Walls are closing in.
- Relax, Lenny.

27
00:01:06,315 --> 00:01:08,840
Since when do cops investigate
other cops for doing their jobs?

28
00:01:08,883 --> 00:01:10,493
- Don't get emotional.
- Blakely,

29
00:01:10,518 --> 00:01:12,036
they're not gonna stop
until they get us fired.

30
00:01:12,060 --> 00:01:13,368
Or sent to prison.

31
00:01:13,393 --> 00:01:15,198
No one's getting fired.
No one's going to prison.

32
00:01:15,222 --> 00:01:16,832
You don't know that.

33
00:01:16,897 --> 00:01:17,885
Relax, Yates.

34
00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:19,303
I got some ideas.

35
00:01:39,523 --> 00:01:42,090
? Boom, boom, boom, boom ?

36
00:01:42,134 --> 00:01:44,702
? Bang, bang, bang, bang ?

37
00:01:44,745 --> 00:01:47,182
? Boom, boom, boom, boom ?

38
00:01:47,226 --> 00:01:48,488
? How, how, how, how ?

39
00:01:48,532 --> 00:01:50,882
? Hey, hey ?

40
00:01:54,903 --> 00:01:57,989
Synced and corrected by Octavia
- www.addic7ed.com -

41
00:02:01,950 --> 00:02:03,652
- Hey. You're back.
- Yeah.

42
00:02:03,677 --> 00:02:05,331
Sounds like y'all had your hands full.

43
00:02:05,374 --> 00:02:08,202
Quentin Carter, meet
Investigator Maya Hidalgo,

44
00:02:08,227 --> 00:02:09,968
NOPD Force Investigation Team.

45
00:02:09,993 --> 00:02:11,685
Yeah, I heard you got a bad cop problem.

46
00:02:11,729 --> 00:02:14,780
More like bad cops. And another
officer's dead because of it.

47
00:02:14,805 --> 00:02:17,155
Yeah. Why don't you fill him in?

48
00:02:18,047 --> 00:02:20,397
Officer Mark Palmer was killed

49
00:02:20,422 --> 00:02:22,222
by career criminal
Lamont Russell on what was

50
00:02:22,261 --> 00:02:23,539
a routine B and E call.

51
00:02:23,564 --> 00:02:26,147
But it's pretty clear
Russell was coerced

52
00:02:26,172 --> 00:02:28,417
to kill the officer by Detective
Blakely and Officer Yates.

53
00:02:28,441 --> 00:02:30,878
Which we can't prove since
Blakely shot and killed Russell

54
00:02:30,922 --> 00:02:32,967
while he was supposedly
threatening his life.

55
00:02:33,011 --> 00:02:34,444
Do we know why Blakely and Yates

56
00:02:34,469 --> 00:02:35,834
would set Officer Palmer up?

57
00:02:35,859 --> 00:02:37,639
Palmer was gonna offer testimony

58
00:02:37,664 --> 00:02:39,858
on a series of excessive
force complaints

59
00:02:39,883 --> 00:02:40,976
involving all three of them.

60
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,131
Again, we can't prove that.

61
00:02:42,194 --> 00:02:43,388
He never said a word to anyone.

62
00:02:43,412 --> 00:02:44,885
Wasn't there another officer

63
00:02:44,910 --> 00:02:46,608
that heard what Palmer was gonna say?

64
00:02:46,633 --> 00:02:48,592
If there were, they wouldn't speak up.

65
00:02:48,635 --> 00:02:50,855
They're afraid of being
blacklisted, harassed.

66
00:02:50,898 --> 00:02:53,248
Or killed. Just like Palmer.

67
00:02:53,292 --> 00:02:55,163
Yeah, no good deed goes unpunished, huh?

68
00:02:55,188 --> 00:02:56,524
Face it all the time.

69
00:02:56,549 --> 00:02:58,881
It's why good cops don't
cross the thin blue line.

70
00:02:58,906 --> 00:03:00,821
And how bad cops stay protected.

71
00:03:00,846 --> 00:03:02,555
I'm being told to close the case.

72
00:03:02,580 --> 00:03:04,360
Well, we're not doing that.

73
00:03:05,443 --> 00:03:07,401
Palmer had something to share.

74
00:03:07,907 --> 00:03:09,613
Something worth killing him over,

75
00:03:09,656 --> 00:03:13,051
and when we find out what,
these guys are going to jail.

76
00:03:13,076 --> 00:03:15,245
They brutalized God
knows how many people

77
00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:17,055
with excessive force.

78
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,523
But even if we got a lot
of these victims to testify,

79
00:03:19,548 --> 00:03:21,550
how can we make sure it'll stick?

80
00:03:23,888 --> 00:03:25,585
I may have an option.

81
00:03:25,629 --> 00:03:28,582
The Racketeer Influenced and
Corrupt Organizations Act.

82
00:03:28,607 --> 00:03:30,129
You want to make it a RICO case?

83
00:03:30,154 --> 00:03:31,851
Isn't that usually used against the mob?

84
00:03:31,876 --> 00:03:33,612
In recent years, the Justice Department

85
00:03:33,637 --> 00:03:35,247
has been using it in more creative ways.

86
00:03:35,290 --> 00:03:37,641
They've gone after street
gangs, corporations.

87
00:03:37,684 --> 00:03:39,030
Police departments.

88
00:03:39,210 --> 00:03:40,960
Full disclosure,

89
00:03:40,985 --> 00:03:43,864
it's only been successful once
against a police department.

90
00:03:43,908 --> 00:03:45,605
Rampart in Los Angeles.

91
00:03:45,649 --> 00:03:47,030
This is a long shot?

92
00:03:47,055 --> 00:03:50,537
Long shot, Hail Mary, last stand.

93
00:03:50,591 --> 00:03:52,935
For this to work, you'd
have to prove three things.

94
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,744
That the officers were
coordinated, like a gang,

95
00:03:55,769 --> 00:03:58,275
that they conspired to
commit illegal activity

96
00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:00,925
and that they benefitted
financially from it.

97
00:04:00,950 --> 00:04:03,635
We go RICO, we keep the case open,

98
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:06,089
continue to investigate
on a federal level.

99
00:04:06,114 --> 00:04:07,908
And hope you find something.

100
00:04:07,933 --> 00:04:09,563
Gonna get push back from the department.

101
00:04:09,590 --> 00:04:11,375
- They'll say it's a witch hunt.
- Yeah.

102
00:04:11,399 --> 00:04:13,227
Of course you will, but Zahra,

103
00:04:13,449 --> 00:04:15,247
this is our chance

104
00:04:15,272 --> 00:04:18,841
to hold these men
accountable for their actions.

105
00:04:22,183 --> 00:04:24,988
Okay. I'm willing to try it.

106
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:27,213
- Where do we start?
- Well,

107
00:04:27,238 --> 00:04:30,567
problematic officers tend
to be problematic people.

108
00:04:30,753 --> 00:04:33,483
We do enough digging, we're
bound to find something.

109
00:04:33,527 --> 00:04:35,441
? I'll be on the block
with the homie so dope ?

110
00:04:35,485 --> 00:04:37,289
? Every time you see me I
be chilling with my folks ?

111
00:04:37,313 --> 00:04:39,073
? You can catch me tripping
when I'm thinking of a million ?

112
00:04:39,097 --> 00:04:41,075
? How to get them Jacksons
like I'm Remy on the low ?

113
00:04:41,099 --> 00:04:43,469
? Climbing to the top like I'm
trying to reach the ceiling... ?

114
00:04:43,493 --> 00:04:45,277
CJ!

115
00:04:45,321 --> 00:04:47,802
? Don't worry about no
hater 'cause it's sweet... ?

116
00:04:47,845 --> 00:04:51,497
CJ, turn it down! It's
giving me a headache.

117
00:04:51,522 --> 00:04:54,025
Oh. Hey, Ma.

118
00:04:54,069 --> 00:04:55,766
Sorry, I-I was getting
hyped for tomorrow.

119
00:04:55,810 --> 00:04:58,595
- _
- Check it out. Drama in the front...

120
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:00,031
- _
- comedy in the back.

121
00:05:00,075 --> 00:05:00,989
What is all this?

122
00:05:01,032 --> 00:05:02,490
It's for the protest tomorrow.

123
00:05:02,515 --> 00:05:04,010
What protest?

124
00:05:04,035 --> 00:05:05,149
Through the French Quarter.

125
00:05:05,174 --> 00:05:06,653
Marching to City Hall.
Told you last week.

126
00:05:06,677 --> 00:05:08,579
- You said I could go.
- I said maybe.

127
00:05:08,605 --> 00:05:10,607
And it was depending on COVID numbers.

128
00:05:10,632 --> 00:05:12,677
No. You said that I
need to go with friends

129
00:05:12,702 --> 00:05:15,442
and wear a mask but that
you were "cool" with it.

130
00:05:15,467 --> 00:05:17,120
Well, I'm no longer cool.

131
00:05:17,188 --> 00:05:19,103
I'm the one who organized my friends.

132
00:05:19,170 --> 00:05:21,255
Everyone's expecting me.
What am I supposed to say?

133
00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:23,591
Say that I changed my mind,

134
00:05:23,637 --> 00:05:26,989
and they can march
just fine without you.

135
00:05:27,798 --> 00:05:30,641
Have another glass, maybe
you'll change it back.

136
00:05:30,666 --> 00:05:32,038
You're out of line.

137
00:05:32,063 --> 00:05:34,109
- Whatever.
- CJ.

138
00:05:34,152 --> 00:05:36,633
CJ!

139
00:05:37,032 --> 00:05:39,288
I don't understand.
So she's ghosting you?

140
00:05:39,331 --> 00:05:41,141
No. We talk every day.

141
00:05:41,166 --> 00:05:43,299
Then there's something in her tone?

142
00:05:43,324 --> 00:05:45,173
- Tone is the same.
- Well, then, what is it?

143
00:05:45,198 --> 00:05:47,158
- What's what?
- What nothing.

144
00:05:47,183 --> 00:05:49,056
Something's going on with
Tammy's new girlfriend

145
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,122
and she won't tell me what.

146
00:05:50,146 --> 00:05:52,277
There's nothing to tell.
It's just a sense I get.

147
00:05:52,301 --> 00:05:54,418
Oh. I thought we liked Kara.

148
00:05:54,443 --> 00:05:56,497
We do. That's the problem.

149
00:05:56,522 --> 00:05:58,202
Well, it's only a
problem if she's married.

150
00:05:59,507 --> 00:06:01,941
- She's married.
- Guys, she's not married.

151
00:06:01,966 --> 00:06:04,464
And I'm not getting bored
or scared, which is a first.

152
00:06:04,489 --> 00:06:07,160
I really want her in my
life, which is also a first,

153
00:06:07,185 --> 00:06:10,853
and things are really great,
which is really problematic.

154
00:06:10,878 --> 00:06:12,066
Why?

155
00:06:12,091 --> 00:06:14,577
Because we've been dating
for a while and I really want

156
00:06:14,602 --> 00:06:17,152
to introduce her to my family
and that's not an option.

157
00:06:17,195 --> 00:06:19,195
Because your mom
doesn't know you're gay.

158
00:06:19,220 --> 00:06:21,711
- Yeah.
- Okay, well, then just tell her.

159
00:06:24,039 --> 00:06:26,109
Okay.

160
00:06:26,633 --> 00:06:27,964
I'm gonna.

161
00:06:27,989 --> 00:06:29,599
- Wait, really?
- Yeah.

162
00:06:29,643 --> 00:06:31,728
- That's great!
- What an amazing step.

163
00:06:31,753 --> 00:06:33,836
Yeah, it's great and
amazing, except I feel like

164
00:06:33,861 --> 00:06:35,213
I'm gonna vomit or pass out.

165
00:06:35,257 --> 00:06:38,434
I-I really don't know
how she's gonna react.

166
00:06:38,477 --> 00:06:40,411
Hey, can we just focus on the bad cops

167
00:06:40,436 --> 00:06:42,024
- we're trying to catch, please?
- I guess.

168
00:06:42,048 --> 00:06:43,700
- Fair enough.
- Okay, great.

169
00:06:43,798 --> 00:06:46,720
So the archives allowed us
to see the entirety of Palmer,

170
00:06:46,745 --> 00:06:48,771
Yates, and Blakely's complaint history.

171
00:06:48,796 --> 00:06:50,406
And we found something a little odd.

172
00:06:50,431 --> 00:06:52,660
Typically, with officers who
have a record of complaints,

173
00:06:52,684 --> 00:06:53,853
the incidents are sporadic.

174
00:06:53,878 --> 00:06:55,906
Here and there, usually
later in the officer's career.

175
00:06:55,930 --> 00:06:58,534
Yeah, but in the case of
Palmer, Yates and Blakely,

176
00:06:58,559 --> 00:07:00,011
they were getting
complaints filed against them

177
00:07:00,035 --> 00:07:01,760
right out of the police
academy, as rookies.

178
00:07:01,785 --> 00:07:03,000
Well, that could be a coincidence.

179
00:07:03,024 --> 00:07:05,948
We thought that, too. So
we randomly picked files

180
00:07:05,973 --> 00:07:09,421
of officers who had a high
volume of misconduct complaints.

181
00:07:09,465 --> 00:07:11,776
Same force pattern.
Right out of the academy.

182
00:07:11,801 --> 00:07:13,213
Yeah, and we think we know why.

183
00:07:13,238 --> 00:07:16,515
The common thread is
their academy instructor,

184
00:07:16,715 --> 00:07:18,343
Commander Pat Campbell.

185
00:07:18,387 --> 00:07:20,910
You think he's the reason
they're coming out aggressive?

186
00:07:20,935 --> 00:07:23,497
So there's this concept
in police academies

187
00:07:23,522 --> 00:07:24,872
called "warrior training."

188
00:07:24,915 --> 00:07:27,178
It teaches this "us
versus them" philosophy.

189
00:07:27,222 --> 00:07:28,484
Campbell's been teaching this

190
00:07:28,527 --> 00:07:30,051
in seminars all across the South.

191
00:07:30,076 --> 00:07:32,115
Suggests these behaviors of the officers

192
00:07:32,140 --> 00:07:34,620
is not an isolated
incident but systemic.

193
00:07:34,664 --> 00:07:37,623
And more importantly, organized,
which is a bar for RICO.

194
00:07:37,667 --> 00:07:39,707
I'll let Pride know to
check out Commander Campbell.

195
00:07:40,975 --> 00:07:42,850
Our current modules include psychology,

196
00:07:42,874 --> 00:07:44,893
criminology, investigation and evidence.

197
00:07:44,935 --> 00:07:46,850
But the curriculum changes every year.

198
00:07:46,894 --> 00:07:48,634
Would you say any of your modules

199
00:07:48,678 --> 00:07:51,986
make for officers who are
more forceful or combative?

200
00:07:52,029 --> 00:07:53,944
Ah. Warrior training.

201
00:07:53,988 --> 00:07:56,164
- No, we don't do that.
- Really?

202
00:07:56,225 --> 00:07:58,750
Because you've taught
seminars on the subject.

203
00:07:58,775 --> 00:08:00,516
I did. Few years back.

204
00:08:00,541 --> 00:08:02,319
But like I say, we
change with the times.

205
00:08:02,344 --> 00:08:04,371
There's been a significant
number of officers

206
00:08:04,396 --> 00:08:06,534
accumulating excessive force complaints

207
00:08:06,559 --> 00:08:07,817
right out of the academy.

208
00:08:07,842 --> 00:08:10,889
It suggests that the
times haven't changed much.

209
00:08:11,832 --> 00:08:13,964
I was told I had to talk to you.

210
00:08:14,450 --> 00:08:16,227
Got to ask why a couple of Navy cops

211
00:08:16,271 --> 00:08:18,403
are so interested in our training.

212
00:08:18,447 --> 00:08:21,019
We're just trying to determine
whether there's a correlation

213
00:08:21,044 --> 00:08:23,284
between what your officers learn here

214
00:08:23,309 --> 00:08:25,114
and their actions on the streets.

215
00:08:25,575 --> 00:08:27,499
Any particular officers
you have in mind?

216
00:08:27,543 --> 00:08:28,805
'Cause I've trained hundreds.

217
00:08:28,830 --> 00:08:30,483
Let's just keep it general for now.

218
00:08:30,546 --> 00:08:31,988
Oh, well, general,
you might want to talk

219
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:34,028
to the field training officers.

220
00:08:34,053 --> 00:08:35,707
First thing most FTOs say to a rookie

221
00:08:35,769 --> 00:08:37,677
is "Forget everything you
learned at the academy."

222
00:08:37,701 --> 00:08:39,180
Seems counterproductive.

223
00:08:39,205 --> 00:08:40,505
We try to teach our cadets to be

224
00:08:40,530 --> 00:08:42,592
thoughtful members of the community.

225
00:08:42,617 --> 00:08:45,169
FTOs try to teach them how
to survive in the real world.

226
00:08:45,213 --> 00:08:47,693
Well, what about the, uh,
the recruits themselves?

227
00:08:47,737 --> 00:08:49,607
Any patterns of belligerence?

228
00:08:49,632 --> 00:08:52,239
Are some recruits more
aggressive than others? Sure.

229
00:08:52,263 --> 00:08:55,353
Takes a particular type of
person who wants to be a cop.

230
00:08:55,397 --> 00:08:56,833
And it's a struggle for New Orleans

231
00:08:56,877 --> 00:08:58,182
to find quality candidates.

232
00:08:58,207 --> 00:08:59,851
People who can not only do the job,

233
00:08:59,876 --> 00:09:01,403
but who want to do the job.

234
00:09:01,508 --> 00:09:03,946
So you just rubber-stamp anyone
who comes through the door.

235
00:09:06,884 --> 00:09:08,733
Was that a question or a statement?

236
00:09:08,758 --> 00:09:11,195
We're just trying to understand
what you're telling us.

237
00:09:11,837 --> 00:09:14,024
Recruiting's a challenge,

238
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:16,113
but we weed out the
hotheads and the gun nuts

239
00:09:16,157 --> 00:09:18,977
to put the best men and
women on the streets.

240
00:09:19,247 --> 00:09:21,124
Now, unless there's
any specific officers

241
00:09:21,149 --> 00:09:22,336
you want to ask me about...

242
00:09:22,361 --> 00:09:23,953
Yeah, we do.

243
00:09:25,149 --> 00:09:26,925
What can you tell us about these two?

244
00:09:26,950 --> 00:09:29,374
Hmm. Blakely and Yates.

245
00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:30,736
Middle-of-the-pack candidates.

246
00:09:30,780 --> 00:09:32,216
Made it through without a problem.

247
00:09:32,260 --> 00:09:35,414
There's been nothing but
problems since they graduated.

248
00:09:35,872 --> 00:09:37,852
We're investigating
them for excessive force,

249
00:09:37,877 --> 00:09:40,610
- among other things.
- Come on, guys, you're in law enforcement.

250
00:09:40,635 --> 00:09:43,159
You know how many complaints get
lodged against every one of us.

251
00:09:43,184 --> 00:09:47,141
No. I've never put anyone in the
hospital for "resisting arrest."

252
00:09:47,166 --> 00:09:49,647
No, me neither, but Blakely and Yates,

253
00:09:50,282 --> 00:09:52,710
it's like a revolving door at the ICU.

254
00:09:52,735 --> 00:09:54,300
I told you what I know.

255
00:09:54,325 --> 00:09:57,546
They were good cadets. No problems here.

256
00:09:57,589 --> 00:09:59,408
As far as I understand,
they sacrifice a lot

257
00:09:59,433 --> 00:10:01,033
to keep the public safe.

258
00:10:01,058 --> 00:10:03,726
Now, if you'll excuse me.

259
00:10:04,097 --> 00:10:06,396
Got a difference of opinion on that one.

260
00:10:15,477 --> 00:10:19,611
? When we are apart ?

261
00:10:19,655 --> 00:10:24,094
? I will remember ?

262
00:10:24,138 --> 00:10:27,793
? The summer ?

263
00:10:29,752 --> 00:10:33,974
? Remember when everything ?

264
00:10:34,017 --> 00:10:36,454
? Was bright and new... ?

265
00:10:41,045 --> 00:10:42,520
Rita?

266
00:10:42,545 --> 00:10:44,593
What is that incredible smell?

267
00:10:44,705 --> 00:10:47,621
It's craw fish étouffée.

268
00:10:48,708 --> 00:10:50,791
And, yes, I know the risk I take

269
00:10:50,816 --> 00:10:52,601
cooking one of your specialties.

270
00:10:52,644 --> 00:10:54,690
I have no doubt that it will be amazing.

271
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,674
You know that's not necessary.

272
00:10:58,277 --> 00:11:00,627
All I need is for you to be here.

273
00:11:00,652 --> 00:11:02,959
Well, it's been a few months.

274
00:11:03,003 --> 00:11:05,676
And, you know, you won't let me
give you any money for rent or...

275
00:11:05,701 --> 00:11:07,964
Well, that's the
Southern gentleman in me.

276
00:11:08,008 --> 00:11:10,445
So I put it all on the
line with my étouffée.

277
00:11:10,488 --> 00:11:12,229
Okay.

278
00:11:12,273 --> 00:11:14,971
So I want you to have
a taste, but be kind.

279
00:11:17,974 --> 00:11:21,108
? I will be wishing ?

280
00:11:21,151 --> 00:11:24,372
? On starlight... ?

281
00:11:24,493 --> 00:11:26,539
Mmm.

282
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:28,854
Mmm.

283
00:11:28,898 --> 00:11:30,595
That's nice.

284
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:32,249
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

285
00:11:32,293 --> 00:11:33,729
Mm.

286
00:11:34,773 --> 00:11:37,167
NOPD! NOPD, get on the ground!

287
00:11:37,211 --> 00:11:39,449
On the ground now!
Fingers behind your head!

288
00:11:39,474 --> 00:11:41,519
- Show us your hands!
- Rita, stay down!

289
00:11:41,544 --> 00:11:42,737
Down, down!

290
00:11:50,731 --> 00:11:52,994
Ollie Harris, we have a
warrant for your arrest.

291
00:11:53,038 --> 00:11:55,779
My name's Dwayne Pride. I'm
a federal agent with NCIS.

292
00:11:55,823 --> 00:11:57,346
My credentials are in my back pocket.

293
00:11:57,390 --> 00:11:59,870
- I'll show you right...
- Oh, Dwayne!

294
00:11:59,914 --> 00:12:02,369
Okay, this is Rita Devereaux.

295
00:12:02,394 --> 00:12:04,447
She's a former attorney with
the Department of Justice.

296
00:12:04,471 --> 00:12:05,791
Handcuff the suspects.

297
00:12:05,816 --> 00:12:07,897
Look, if you'll just
look at my credentials

298
00:12:07,922 --> 00:12:09,532
that are in the back pocket...

299
00:12:09,576 --> 00:12:12,666
You're about to make
a huge mistake here.

300
00:12:13,351 --> 00:12:15,016
What the hell is this?

301
00:12:15,060 --> 00:12:16,539
It's what I told you!

302
00:12:16,734 --> 00:12:18,193
I'm NCIS!

303
00:12:18,237 --> 00:12:19,412
No Ollie Harris?

304
00:12:19,455 --> 00:12:20,935
No! No, no!

305
00:12:20,979 --> 00:12:22,589
There's no Ollie Harris here.

306
00:12:22,632 --> 00:12:24,504
It's just the two of us
that you've handcuffed

307
00:12:24,547 --> 00:12:26,593
on the floor of my apartment.

308
00:12:26,636 --> 00:12:27,768
Uncuff them.

309
00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:32,381
- You okay? You okay?
- No.

310
00:12:32,425 --> 00:12:35,167
My heart is beating so fast, it
feels like it's gonna explode.

311
00:12:35,192 --> 00:12:36,305
It'll be okay.

312
00:12:36,330 --> 00:12:38,201
Your credentials, Agent Pride.

313
00:12:40,259 --> 00:12:41,782
What the hell was that?

314
00:12:41,825 --> 00:12:44,635
We were executing a no-knock
warrant on an Ollie Harris.

315
00:12:44,660 --> 00:12:46,662
Wanted on gun possession
and manslaughter.

316
00:12:46,687 --> 00:12:48,484
C.I. gave us this address.

317
00:12:48,528 --> 00:12:50,921
And you didn't think to double-check?

318
00:12:50,965 --> 00:12:53,098
My God, Dwayne's owned
this building for years.

319
00:12:53,141 --> 00:12:54,577
He's well-known in the community.

320
00:12:54,621 --> 00:12:56,057
And your department!

321
00:12:56,101 --> 00:12:57,624
Who's the lead detective on this case?

322
00:12:57,667 --> 00:12:58,929
I couldn't tell you that.

323
00:12:58,973 --> 00:13:00,973
Commanding SWAT officer
gave us that assignment.

324
00:13:00,998 --> 00:13:03,541
- I'm gonna want his name.
- And your supervisor.

325
00:13:03,566 --> 00:13:05,066
Pack it up, team.

326
00:13:05,344 --> 00:13:06,867
Sorry for the mix-up.

327
00:13:13,473 --> 00:13:14,832
Rita?

328
00:13:14,965 --> 00:13:16,424
Rita, are you sure you're okay?

329
00:13:16,449 --> 00:13:17,905
No, I'm not!

330
00:13:17,948 --> 00:13:19,863
I'm gonna call and find
out who's responsible

331
00:13:19,888 --> 00:13:21,542
for this and raise some hell.

332
00:13:22,313 --> 00:13:23,805
Don't bother.

333
00:13:24,922 --> 00:13:26,740
This was Blakely.

334
00:13:26,783 --> 00:13:27,828
Dwayne!

335
00:13:29,371 --> 00:13:31,198
- I mean, I don't know what...
- Hey! Hey!

336
00:13:32,702 --> 00:13:34,650
Get your hands off him!

337
00:13:34,675 --> 00:13:36,768
You want to come after
me, fine, I can take it.

338
00:13:36,793 --> 00:13:38,554
That's felonious assault,
Special Agent Pride.

339
00:13:38,578 --> 00:13:40,686
But you come after the people I
care about, you're gonna get hurt.

340
00:13:40,710 --> 00:13:42,322
He seems upset, doesn't he, Yates?

341
00:13:42,347 --> 00:13:44,428
You sent SWAT to my home.

342
00:13:44,453 --> 00:13:46,405
Oh, I heard about that.
Hit the wrong address?

343
00:13:46,430 --> 00:13:48,484
- Hell of a mistake.
- It was no mistake.

344
00:13:48,509 --> 00:13:50,068
You got a lot of accusations.

345
00:13:50,111 --> 00:13:51,330
But not a lot of proof.

346
00:13:51,373 --> 00:13:52,505
I know it was you.

347
00:13:52,548 --> 00:13:53,742
And what are you gonna do about it?

348
00:13:53,766 --> 00:13:55,016
- Let's go outside, I'll show you.
- Hey!

349
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,508
What the hell are you thinking, Pride?

350
00:13:56,532 --> 00:13:58,230
Let go of him!

351
00:14:00,405 --> 00:14:02,036
Excellent timing, Hidalgo.

352
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,492
- This isn't over.
- It's absolutely over.

353
00:14:03,516 --> 00:14:04,734
Start walking!

354
00:14:04,778 --> 00:14:06,007
Now!

355
00:14:15,223 --> 00:14:17,000
What were you thinking?

356
00:14:17,025 --> 00:14:18,242
I'm already out on a limb

357
00:14:18,267 --> 00:14:20,074
keeping this case open
and now you pull this?

358
00:14:20,098 --> 00:14:22,117
They sent a tactical team to my house.

359
00:14:22,142 --> 00:14:23,368
They terrorized Rita.

360
00:14:23,393 --> 00:14:25,243
Yeah, I know. Confronting
him might feel good,

361
00:14:25,268 --> 00:14:26,869
but it only screws you.

362
00:14:27,061 --> 00:14:28,169
I got plenty of witnesses who saw you

363
00:14:28,193 --> 00:14:29,286
put your hands on Blakely.

364
00:14:29,311 --> 00:14:31,283
You've got nothing to
prove they swatted you.

365
00:14:31,326 --> 00:14:32,980
You're jeopardizing our credibility.

366
00:14:33,005 --> 00:14:35,138
- They're not getting away with this.
- They will...

367
00:14:35,349 --> 00:14:36,853
unless you act smart.

368
00:14:36,878 --> 00:14:38,488
Think about it... they're scared.

369
00:14:38,513 --> 00:14:40,458
Why else would they
harass you like this?

370
00:14:40,669 --> 00:14:42,382
Whatever path you're on
must be the right one,

371
00:14:42,406 --> 00:14:43,944
so stay on it.

372
00:14:44,439 --> 00:14:47,311
Stay out of their way until
you can put cuffs on them.

373
00:14:53,905 --> 00:14:56,257
It's nice tonight. Stars out.

374
00:14:56,296 --> 00:14:59,180
Mosquitos aren't sucking us dry.

375
00:15:02,662 --> 00:15:04,104
Where's CJ?

376
00:15:04,129 --> 00:15:07,188
Usually he'd be trying to dip
in our conversation about now.

377
00:15:07,232 --> 00:15:08,745
Well, he's in his room. He's mad at me,

378
00:15:08,769 --> 00:15:10,705
'cause I won't let him go
to the protest tomorrow.

379
00:15:10,729 --> 00:15:12,603
March to City Hall... Why can't he go?

380
00:15:12,628 --> 00:15:15,604
Because he's 16 without
a clue about the world

381
00:15:15,629 --> 00:15:18,068
and the dangers that lie out there.

382
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,775
It's a peaceful protest.

383
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,933
Even I'm participating.

384
00:15:24,057 --> 00:15:27,278
These kids think that
they will live forever.

385
00:15:28,173 --> 00:15:31,361
But this expert will
tell you they will not.

386
00:15:33,135 --> 00:15:35,065
That's a lot to carry, Loretta.

387
00:15:35,090 --> 00:15:36,482
Mm.

388
00:15:36,572 --> 00:15:38,219
That's what I keep telling him.

389
00:15:38,263 --> 00:15:40,088
I'm talking about you.

390
00:15:40,746 --> 00:15:42,900
Me? I'm fine.

391
00:15:42,925 --> 00:15:44,405
I'm a strong Black woman.

392
00:15:44,430 --> 00:15:46,736
I can't be anything but fine.

393
00:15:46,947 --> 00:15:49,448
Well, this strong Black
woman is struggling.

394
00:15:49,473 --> 00:15:52,227
Arguing more with my husband.

395
00:15:52,252 --> 00:15:54,075
Getting three hours of sleep at night.

396
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:56,058
And when I can close my eyes...

397
00:15:56,444 --> 00:15:58,794
I can't rest for
worrying about the city.

398
00:15:59,638 --> 00:16:01,764
I'm running on fumes.

399
00:16:01,808 --> 00:16:03,984
And I'm not too proud to admit it.

400
00:16:04,669 --> 00:16:08,014
Now that's the brave face
our mothers force on us.

401
00:16:08,039 --> 00:16:11,223
Heaven forbid a woman,
especially a Black woman,

402
00:16:11,248 --> 00:16:13,472
show the least bit of righteous anger.

403
00:16:13,515 --> 00:16:15,996
It just shifts so quickly
from strong, Black woman

404
00:16:16,039 --> 00:16:18,101
to angry Black woman
in these people's eyes.

405
00:16:18,126 --> 00:16:20,607
And a thin line between them.

406
00:16:20,715 --> 00:16:22,108
I swear...

407
00:16:22,481 --> 00:16:24,726
sometimes I can't breathe.

408
00:16:25,518 --> 00:16:27,374
Pressure's so crushing.

409
00:16:29,413 --> 00:16:31,062
- This will help.
- Oh, no, no, no.

410
00:16:31,087 --> 00:16:33,089
Loretta, look...

411
00:16:35,130 --> 00:16:36,479
Does it?

412
00:16:38,061 --> 00:16:40,368
Well, takes the edge off.

413
00:16:41,848 --> 00:16:43,864
Keeps me sane.

414
00:16:44,342 --> 00:16:46,081
But does it give you peace?

415
00:16:47,653 --> 00:16:50,030
Well, gee, that sounds...

416
00:16:50,341 --> 00:16:52,772
less like a question and
more like a judgment, Zahra.

417
00:16:52,833 --> 00:16:54,792
No judgment.

418
00:16:55,043 --> 00:16:56,958
Just observation.

419
00:16:58,135 --> 00:17:00,703
I don't think the wine is helping.

420
00:17:03,215 --> 00:17:05,840
I don't think it's
none of your business.

421
00:17:09,693 --> 00:17:11,324
You know, it's getting pretty late.

422
00:17:12,686 --> 00:17:14,398
And we both have a long night

423
00:17:14,423 --> 00:17:16,469
of not sleeping ahead of us.

424
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,087
Of course.

425
00:17:27,233 --> 00:17:29,279
Take care, Loretta.

426
00:17:48,175 --> 00:17:49,481
You know...

427
00:17:49,524 --> 00:17:52,179
Carter, you have a really unnatural

428
00:17:52,222 --> 00:17:54,007
relationship with that machine.

429
00:17:54,050 --> 00:17:56,357
What's wrong with regular coffee, huh?

430
00:17:56,401 --> 00:17:58,490
Mm-hmm, you're not fooling me.

431
00:17:58,533 --> 00:18:01,144
You're the one who
clogged my milk frother

432
00:18:01,188 --> 00:18:02,739
while I was gone, weren't you?

433
00:18:03,505 --> 00:18:05,669
I don't know what you're talking about.

434
00:18:05,694 --> 00:18:06,856
You use it, you clean it.

435
00:18:06,881 --> 00:18:08,055
That's the rule.

436
00:18:12,423 --> 00:18:13,710
Everything okay?

437
00:18:13,968 --> 00:18:16,666
Call I have to make and I don't want to.

438
00:18:22,335 --> 00:18:25,168
Traditionally, this is where you
ask me what call I have to make.

439
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,695
Mm, uh-uh.

440
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,765
See, that's complicated.
I keep it simple.

441
00:18:29,034 --> 00:18:30,601
You want to tell me, you will.

442
00:18:30,739 --> 00:18:32,179
Well...

443
00:18:33,296 --> 00:18:35,367
I'm telling my mom I'm gay.

444
00:18:35,695 --> 00:18:36,963
Roman Catholic?

445
00:18:37,006 --> 00:18:39,093
Oh, yeah, real old-school.

446
00:18:39,118 --> 00:18:41,427
My cousin married a Protestant
and was practically disowned

447
00:18:41,451 --> 00:18:42,570
by the whole family.

448
00:18:42,595 --> 00:18:44,611
I'm not even sure how
she's gonna react to this,

449
00:18:44,636 --> 00:18:46,189
but I'm sure it's not good.

450
00:18:46,233 --> 00:18:48,728
How do you deliver bad
news to your family?

451
00:18:48,753 --> 00:18:50,315
With unbridled joy.

452
00:18:50,340 --> 00:18:52,805
I live to piss them off.

453
00:18:52,830 --> 00:18:54,484
But the difference
between our situations

454
00:18:54,546 --> 00:18:55,971
is your news isn't bad.

455
00:18:55,996 --> 00:18:57,034
It's not good.

456
00:18:57,059 --> 00:18:58,651
You're telling your mom who you are.

457
00:18:58,676 --> 00:19:00,635
That's all... not bad, not good.

458
00:19:00,660 --> 00:19:01,745
Just the truth.

459
00:19:01,770 --> 00:19:03,550
Yeah, well...

460
00:19:04,253 --> 00:19:08,255
the truth is that my mother
had really high expectations

461
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,755
for me, Carter... I'm not
sure I lived up to any of them.

462
00:19:10,780 --> 00:19:12,491
Well, if she doesn't, screw her.

463
00:19:12,516 --> 00:19:13,995
Respectfully.

464
00:19:14,129 --> 00:19:16,760
I mean, you're a beautiful, confident,

465
00:19:16,785 --> 00:19:19,701
capable woman... any parent
would be proud to have you.

466
00:19:19,983 --> 00:19:22,333
If your mom needs time
to catch up to that fact,

467
00:19:22,358 --> 00:19:24,010
that's on her.

468
00:19:24,053 --> 00:19:25,577
That's nice, Carter.

469
00:19:25,994 --> 00:19:27,463
Thank you.

470
00:19:27,488 --> 00:19:28,705
I try.

471
00:19:28,893 --> 00:19:30,582
Pride.

472
00:19:33,697 --> 00:19:35,369
We heard what happened, Pride.

473
00:19:35,413 --> 00:19:36,502
You okay?

474
00:19:36,527 --> 00:19:37,658
Yeah, I'm fine.

475
00:19:37,827 --> 00:19:39,261
We need copies of all the NOPD

476
00:19:39,286 --> 00:19:42,073
archived misconduct files
on Blakely and Yates.

477
00:19:42,098 --> 00:19:44,379
- Yeah, I got them here.
- Good.

478
00:19:44,547 --> 00:19:47,159
Hidalgo's getting us
their employment records,

479
00:19:47,293 --> 00:19:50,707
psychiatric evaluations,
background checks... we'll,

480
00:19:50,732 --> 00:19:52,927
we'll cross-reference.
What are we looking for?

481
00:19:52,952 --> 00:19:54,693
I'm not sure exactly.

482
00:19:55,012 --> 00:19:57,260
But Hidalgo had a good point.

483
00:19:57,304 --> 00:19:58,784
Blakely wouldn't have come at me

484
00:19:58,809 --> 00:20:00,291
unless we were on to something.

485
00:20:00,316 --> 00:20:02,416
Well, last place that
we went was the academy.

486
00:20:02,527 --> 00:20:04,111
Commander Campbell.

487
00:20:04,136 --> 00:20:06,617
Pointing us to the
field training officers.

488
00:20:06,642 --> 00:20:09,030
But something tells me we need to look

489
00:20:09,055 --> 00:20:10,970
for a connection to him.

490
00:20:10,995 --> 00:20:12,606
Dwayne Pride?

491
00:20:12,631 --> 00:20:15,547
Ned Jacobs, Blakely
and Yates' union rep.

492
00:20:15,646 --> 00:20:17,038
What do you need?

493
00:20:17,385 --> 00:20:19,650
Well, I need for you to
leave them the hell alone.

494
00:20:19,675 --> 00:20:21,525
They're under federal investigation.

495
00:20:21,550 --> 00:20:24,001
Yeah, yeah, I heard all
about your wild accusations

496
00:20:24,026 --> 00:20:26,939
of misconduct, murder
of one of their own.

497
00:20:27,268 --> 00:20:28,596
You got no evidence.

498
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,293
Investigation's ongoing.

499
00:20:30,318 --> 00:20:31,798
Yeah, well, it's a witch hunt.

500
00:20:31,860 --> 00:20:34,795
You're slandering these officers'
good names and reputations.

501
00:20:34,820 --> 00:20:36,474
And Mark Palmer?

502
00:20:36,517 --> 00:20:38,084
He was a cop, too.

503
00:20:38,109 --> 00:20:40,460
Officer Palmer was killed
by a career criminal.

504
00:20:40,485 --> 00:20:41,878
Who was killed by Blakely.

505
00:20:41,903 --> 00:20:43,775
That doesn't seem strange to you?

506
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,672
It seems like justice.

507
00:20:45,787 --> 00:20:47,615
What is your agenda here, Pride?

508
00:20:47,659 --> 00:20:49,399
Other than assaulting my officers?

509
00:20:49,443 --> 00:20:51,953
How about keeping bad cops off
the streets so the rest of us

510
00:20:51,978 --> 00:20:54,728
can do our jobs and the
public doesn't live in fear?

511
00:20:54,753 --> 00:20:57,554
Yeah, well, these men,
they're exceptional officers.

512
00:20:57,579 --> 00:21:00,618
Brutally beating a sailor
for a misunderstanding?

513
00:21:00,977 --> 00:21:03,326
Putting another man in a
coma? There's a pattern!

514
00:21:03,351 --> 00:21:05,000
Yeah, well, let's talk
about patterns, Pride.

515
00:21:05,024 --> 00:21:07,263
Because you don't have to go too
far into your past to see one.

516
00:21:07,287 --> 00:21:09,399
- Watch it.
- Maybe it's not official record,

517
00:21:09,424 --> 00:21:12,124
but, oh, you dig deeper,

518
00:21:12,149 --> 00:21:13,663
you hear stories.

519
00:21:13,688 --> 00:21:15,789
Kidnapping elected officials,
questionable shootings.

520
00:21:15,814 --> 00:21:18,646
That's enough! That's enough. Leave.

521
00:21:19,306 --> 00:21:22,088
Maybe take a hard look
at yourself, Pride...

522
00:21:22,736 --> 00:21:24,040
before you come at one of my guys.

523
00:21:24,064 --> 00:21:25,566
Out! Now.

524
00:21:26,414 --> 00:21:28,024
Go.

525
00:21:29,396 --> 00:21:30,528
What was that about?

526
00:21:30,571 --> 00:21:33,023
Nothing. Listen, Pride...

527
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,239
You think that union
rep was threatening you?

528
00:22:10,067 --> 00:22:12,113
More like a warning, I guess.

529
00:22:14,202 --> 00:22:16,813
I try to stand by the
actions I've taken.

530
00:22:17,577 --> 00:22:19,129
But...

531
00:22:21,242 --> 00:22:22,863
I've done things.

532
00:22:23,584 --> 00:22:25,432
You're a good cop.

533
00:22:25,457 --> 00:22:27,183
A good man.

534
00:22:29,066 --> 00:22:31,065
You're also your father's son,

535
00:22:31,090 --> 00:22:35,810
which sometimes that can
manifest in unexpected ways.

536
00:22:35,835 --> 00:22:37,458
You think I'm like him?

537
00:22:37,483 --> 00:22:40,968
I think you've worked so
hard to not be like him

538
00:22:41,631 --> 00:22:45,569
that maybe you've overcompensated.

539
00:22:46,451 --> 00:22:48,616
We are our actions.

540
00:22:54,194 --> 00:22:56,733
I've crossed the line, Rita.

541
00:22:58,647 --> 00:23:00,354
More than once.

542
00:23:00,420 --> 00:23:02,553
Even if it was for the right reasons.

543
00:23:03,422 --> 00:23:05,598
I tried to adjust.

544
00:23:07,436 --> 00:23:12,231
But when SWAT was cuffing
you on the ground, I saw red.

545
00:23:12,260 --> 00:23:13,565
I'm okay.

546
00:23:13,609 --> 00:23:14,958
And when I went after Blakely,

547
00:23:15,002 --> 00:23:16,699
I was ready to kill him.

548
00:23:16,743 --> 00:23:18,962
Okay, you were angry. So was I.

549
00:23:19,006 --> 00:23:21,008
I'm not kidding.

550
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:24,381
I would've killed him.

551
00:23:24,838 --> 00:23:26,591
But you didn't, Dwayne.

552
00:23:26,616 --> 00:23:28,711
You got your head back in the game.

553
00:23:29,364 --> 00:23:30,926
This time.

554
00:23:35,948 --> 00:23:37,993
I have so many doubts.

555
00:23:41,182 --> 00:23:45,651
Look... you don't like the way you act,

556
00:23:45,676 --> 00:23:46,658
you fix it.

557
00:23:46,683 --> 00:23:48,185
You get your house in order,

558
00:23:48,210 --> 00:23:50,909
but you don't stop going
after Blakely and Yates.

559
00:23:51,374 --> 00:23:53,972
They need to answer
for what they've done.

560
00:24:02,268 --> 00:24:03,414
What'd you get?

561
00:24:03,439 --> 00:24:05,794
I'm the one that's supposed to
be doing the emotional eating.

562
00:24:05,818 --> 00:24:07,783
This is how I think. I eat.

563
00:24:08,816 --> 00:24:10,383
I got it, by the way. Don't move.

564
00:24:10,408 --> 00:24:11,914
Sebastian, I'm stuck.

565
00:24:11,939 --> 00:24:14,148
I called my mom earlier
and I can't do this.

566
00:24:14,191 --> 00:24:16,696
I don't know what to say.
Maybe I should, like, um,

567
00:24:16,721 --> 00:24:19,100
send her a meme or a text
or something, you know?

568
00:24:19,125 --> 00:24:20,685
Like, break her in.

569
00:24:20,710 --> 00:24:22,436
Do they make "coming out" memes?

570
00:24:22,461 --> 00:24:24,505
That's, like, the worst idea
I've ever heard in my life.

571
00:24:24,529 --> 00:24:26,147
Well, then, what should I say?

572
00:24:26,553 --> 00:24:28,031
Why don't you just practice on me?

573
00:24:28,056 --> 00:24:30,226
That way you can work it
out without any pressure.

574
00:24:30,251 --> 00:24:32,764
- Mm, I don't know.
- Yeah. Aw, it's gonna be great. Come on.

575
00:24:32,789 --> 00:24:35,000
Give me a second, I've gotta...

576
00:24:36,490 --> 00:24:38,275
All right, I'm ready.

577
00:24:39,630 --> 00:24:41,633
Mom, I'd like to talk to you.

578
00:24:41,658 --> 00:24:43,115
Tammy, oh, my God, where have you been?

579
00:24:43,139 --> 00:24:45,166
I was so worried that
something had happened to you.

580
00:24:45,190 --> 00:24:47,268
I've been praying for you
all week. Are you okay?

581
00:24:47,293 --> 00:24:49,213
I've been worried that something
has happened with your job...

582
00:24:49,237 --> 00:24:50,299
What is this?

583
00:24:50,415 --> 00:24:51,881
That was your mom. Was that no good?

584
00:24:51,925 --> 00:24:54,014
No, it's too good and
it's weirding me out.

585
00:24:54,057 --> 00:24:56,177
All right, well, let's, come
on, take if from the top.

586
00:24:56,512 --> 00:24:58,872
All right. Um...

587
00:25:01,913 --> 00:25:05,418
- Ma? Um...
- Hmm?

588
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,680
I'd like to talk to you.

589
00:25:08,724 --> 00:25:11,024
I'd really appreciate if
you'd listen to me and...

590
00:25:11,049 --> 00:25:12,659
and let me finish what I have to say.

591
00:25:12,684 --> 00:25:15,339
Of course, my little Tammy bear.
What do you want to talk about?

592
00:25:15,835 --> 00:25:17,489
This is really hard for me.

593
00:25:17,514 --> 00:25:19,517
Yeah, I'm listening, baby girl.

594
00:25:19,663 --> 00:25:21,345
And...

595
00:25:21,553 --> 00:25:24,348
- I've been keeping something in.
- Mm.

596
00:25:24,499 --> 00:25:27,134
Not-not telling you
something because I love you

597
00:25:27,177 --> 00:25:28,840
and I don't want to hurt you.

598
00:25:29,504 --> 00:25:30,964
But it's like I'm living a lie,

599
00:25:31,007 --> 00:25:33,958
a-and I don't want to live
like this anymore, you know?

600
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:35,794
What is it, sweetheart?

601
00:25:37,083 --> 00:25:38,493
I...

602
00:25:38,536 --> 00:25:39,809
I-I can't. I can't...

603
00:25:39,834 --> 00:25:41,481
I can't, I can't do this.

604
00:25:41,506 --> 00:25:43,606
- You're doing great.
- It's all fun and games

605
00:25:43,631 --> 00:25:45,284
until I drop the bomb on her.

606
00:25:45,309 --> 00:25:46,638
Nope.

607
00:25:46,814 --> 00:25:48,957
- T, you got this.
- You're fine. I don't got this.

608
00:25:51,158 --> 00:25:52,768
Is that my mother?

609
00:25:52,812 --> 00:25:53,987
Is she texting you?

610
00:25:54,030 --> 00:25:55,181
Why would your mother text me?

611
00:25:55,205 --> 00:25:57,512
Because she's got this sick sixth sense,

612
00:25:57,555 --> 00:25:58,992
and she knows something's going on.

613
00:25:59,035 --> 00:26:01,255
It's not your mother. It's
a friend of mine in D.C.

614
00:26:01,298 --> 00:26:03,170
I had him run Yates' and Blakely's name

615
00:26:03,213 --> 00:26:05,613
through a government database.
Looks like he found something.

616
00:26:20,752 --> 00:26:23,760
Ordinance number 99.230
requires all persons

617
00:26:23,785 --> 00:26:25,503
within the New Orleans
city limits to wear a mask.

618
00:26:25,527 --> 00:26:27,174
I have a mask.

619
00:26:27,199 --> 00:26:29,556
Wearing it around your
chin doesn't count.

620
00:26:29,581 --> 00:26:31,253
I'm outside. There's no one around.

621
00:26:31,278 --> 00:26:32,887
Still got to write
you up. Step over here,

622
00:26:32,911 --> 00:26:34,777
- put your hands on the hood.
- Wh-Why, man?

623
00:26:34,802 --> 00:26:36,956
Need to check you for weapons.

624
00:26:37,030 --> 00:26:39,206
- Or drugs.
- You're on some BS and you know it.

625
00:26:39,249 --> 00:26:40,685
Just trying to harass people.

626
00:26:40,729 --> 00:26:42,576
Every word out of your mouth
makes this harder on you.

627
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,212
Hey. Officer Yates.

628
00:26:46,014 --> 00:26:48,476
I'm gonna need you to step
over here for a minute.

629
00:26:50,619 --> 00:26:52,110
Inspector Hidalgo was kind enough

630
00:26:52,135 --> 00:26:54,430
to provide us with your
detail authorizations.

631
00:26:54,455 --> 00:26:56,219
Those are just a bunch
of permission slips

632
00:26:56,244 --> 00:26:58,601
NOPD gives us to work outside security.

633
00:26:58,626 --> 00:27:00,090
Yeah. I know.

634
00:27:00,115 --> 00:27:01,856
Nothing shady about it.

635
00:27:02,204 --> 00:27:04,562
Well, according to this, you
worked a substantial number

636
00:27:04,587 --> 00:27:08,539
of hours over the last couple
of years at Cleo's Canteen.

637
00:27:08,583 --> 00:27:11,211
Yeah. Worked security.

638
00:27:11,236 --> 00:27:12,587
You got a problem with that?

639
00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:14,067
No, I don't.

640
00:27:14,500 --> 00:27:16,372
Internal Revenue Service might.

641
00:27:19,282 --> 00:27:21,884
This is the last five years

642
00:27:21,909 --> 00:27:23,815
of your tax returns.

643
00:27:26,147 --> 00:27:28,236
A lot of unreported income.

644
00:27:30,144 --> 00:27:31,917
This is a joke.

645
00:27:32,307 --> 00:27:34,729
Well, there's nothing
funny about tax evasion.

646
00:27:35,158 --> 00:27:37,092
Al Capone went to prison for it.

647
00:27:37,542 --> 00:27:39,493
However, if you are willing

648
00:27:39,518 --> 00:27:41,477
to open up about
Officer Palmer's murder,

649
00:27:41,502 --> 00:27:43,792
we might be able to
help you out with this.

650
00:27:43,995 --> 00:27:46,882
You don't have the authority
to arrest me for tax evasion.

651
00:27:46,944 --> 00:27:48,728
That's true. I don't.

652
00:27:48,753 --> 00:27:50,338
But, uh...

653
00:27:51,541 --> 00:27:52,811
he does.

654
00:27:53,695 --> 00:27:55,344
This is Larry from the IRS.

655
00:27:55,369 --> 00:27:57,169
I flew him in from D.C.,

656
00:27:57,194 --> 00:27:59,851
special, just for you.

657
00:28:00,316 --> 00:28:02,819
You Navy cops are a trip.

658
00:28:04,046 --> 00:28:06,795
Yeah, okay, bring him on.

659
00:28:07,060 --> 00:28:09,325
Just make sure to call
my union rep first,

660
00:28:09,350 --> 00:28:11,395
'cause I got nothing to say.

661
00:28:21,423 --> 00:28:22,986
You get anything out of Yates?

662
00:28:23,011 --> 00:28:24,790
No, he's not gonna talk.

663
00:28:25,399 --> 00:28:27,556
But he may not have to.

664
00:28:28,564 --> 00:28:31,282
Happen to remember
Commander Campbell's tattoo?

665
00:28:31,603 --> 00:28:33,304
Uh, the fire-breathing dragon?

666
00:28:33,329 --> 00:28:35,024
Yeah, yeah, kind of hard to miss.

667
00:28:35,049 --> 00:28:36,149
Yeah.

668
00:28:36,192 --> 00:28:37,454
Yates has the same one.

669
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,164
You know, secret
societies have flourished

670
00:28:41,189 --> 00:28:43,915
among police departments
since before the Civil War.

671
00:28:43,940 --> 00:28:46,289
Yeah. They used to call them
brotherhoods, fraternities,

672
00:28:46,314 --> 00:28:47,856
but they're really just a gang.

673
00:28:47,899 --> 00:28:49,626
If that's what we got going on here,

674
00:28:50,018 --> 00:28:52,618
we'll meet one of the
requirements for RICO.

675
00:28:53,790 --> 00:28:55,094
I've been going through photos

676
00:28:55,118 --> 00:28:58,625
on the NOPD's public website
as well as their social media.

677
00:28:58,677 --> 00:29:00,164
Look what I found.

678
00:29:03,054 --> 00:29:05,077
Campbell, Yates, Blakely, Palmer,

679
00:29:05,102 --> 00:29:06,405
all with the same tattoo.

680
00:29:06,430 --> 00:29:08,624
Call themselves the Spitfires.

681
00:29:08,649 --> 00:29:10,858
Their creed: "Order by any means."

682
00:29:10,883 --> 00:29:13,055
And there's a lot of them. I counted 13.

683
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,820
They all graduated from the academy

684
00:29:14,883 --> 00:29:16,276
when Campbell took command.

685
00:29:16,301 --> 00:29:18,477
All with questionable psych evals.

686
00:29:18,694 --> 00:29:21,249
Campbell's passing them through
to feed the organization.

687
00:29:21,274 --> 00:29:22,678
Sounds like conspiracy to me.

688
00:29:22,703 --> 00:29:24,622
Ain't that another bar to meet RICO?

689
00:29:24,647 --> 00:29:27,939
We don't need Yates to
flip on Blakely at all.

690
00:29:28,053 --> 00:29:32,857
We've met two of the three bars
needed for a RICO prosecution.

691
00:29:33,530 --> 00:29:36,348
And if these Spitfires are using
their positions to make money...

692
00:29:36,373 --> 00:29:38,201
We'd meet the third bar for RICO.

693
00:29:39,506 --> 00:29:41,602
Taking Yates and Blakely down,

694
00:29:41,627 --> 00:29:43,629
and every other Spitfire with them.

695
00:29:51,906 --> 00:29:53,192
Anything yet?

696
00:29:53,513 --> 00:29:55,855
We've been going through NOPD's
excessive force complaints

697
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,292
for members of the Spitfires.

698
00:29:57,317 --> 00:29:59,823
They average 40% more
complaints than the others.

699
00:29:59,848 --> 00:30:01,933
How does something like
that not get noticed?

700
00:30:01,977 --> 00:30:03,792
Police department's not tracking data.

701
00:30:03,817 --> 00:30:06,682
If you want to curb
excessive force at the NOPD,

702
00:30:06,707 --> 00:30:08,679
start with these 13 cops.

703
00:30:09,050 --> 00:30:13,285
Rita spoke to the Organized
Crime and Gang Section at the DOJ.

704
00:30:14,488 --> 00:30:16,096
They're gonna hear our RICO pitch.

705
00:30:16,121 --> 00:30:17,732
- That's good news.
- Yeah.

706
00:30:17,775 --> 00:30:19,560
But it means we have to have one.

707
00:30:19,603 --> 00:30:21,356
I mean, we can make a case

708
00:30:21,381 --> 00:30:25,831
that these Spitfires are a
gang involved in a conspiracy,

709
00:30:25,856 --> 00:30:27,393
but are they profiting from it?

710
00:30:28,293 --> 00:30:29,674
Might have something there.

711
00:30:29,699 --> 00:30:31,432
We knew Yates was
earning cash on the side

712
00:30:31,457 --> 00:30:33,534
doing security work, so we
looked into the other guys.

713
00:30:33,558 --> 00:30:36,228
Got the detail authorizations
for the other Spitfire members.

714
00:30:36,272 --> 00:30:39,416
They all have healthy
moonlighting gigs across the city.

715
00:30:39,441 --> 00:30:40,814
More security work.

716
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:42,275
Well, that's not unusual.

717
00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:45,254
Moonlighting as a cop is voluntary.

718
00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:47,150
Some want it more than others.

719
00:30:47,175 --> 00:30:49,357
True, but what stands out
about these authorizations

720
00:30:49,382 --> 00:30:51,592
is that they all work for one company:

721
00:30:51,617 --> 00:30:53,014
Alpha Dog Security.

722
00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:57,827
Commander Pat Campbell
established the LLC in 2017.

723
00:30:58,055 --> 00:30:59,535
He owns the company

724
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,483
that employs every single
one of the Spitfires?

725
00:31:03,212 --> 00:31:06,128
You two... may have
just proved our case.

726
00:31:15,555 --> 00:31:18,297
It just never seems to end, does it?

727
00:31:19,471 --> 00:31:22,440
Uh, it's slowed down some, at least.

728
00:31:22,817 --> 00:31:25,362
Loretta, I want to apologize
for the other night.

729
00:31:25,387 --> 00:31:27,799
Running my mouth. I
didn't mean to overstep.

730
00:31:27,824 --> 00:31:29,268
I should apologize.

731
00:31:29,293 --> 00:31:31,395
You were just trying to help, and...

732
00:31:31,590 --> 00:31:33,698
I am having a hard time.

733
00:31:33,723 --> 00:31:36,104
I get it. We're all suffering.

734
00:31:36,129 --> 00:31:39,418
All looking for relief.

735
00:31:39,780 --> 00:31:41,522
If you need a little
extra wine at night...

736
00:31:41,547 --> 00:31:45,827
Oh, it helps quiet my
mind, let's me sleep.

737
00:31:46,125 --> 00:31:47,474
I know.

738
00:31:47,577 --> 00:31:49,567
It's just not like you.

739
00:31:49,592 --> 00:31:51,201
These are desperate times, Zahra.

740
00:31:51,226 --> 00:31:54,263
There's so much needless suffering.

741
00:31:54,942 --> 00:31:57,118
I keep trying to look for the meaning,

742
00:31:57,143 --> 00:32:00,407
why are they putting us
through this... can't find it.

743
00:32:01,487 --> 00:32:04,534
May be above our pay grade, Loretta.

744
00:32:04,577 --> 00:32:08,364
May be something we
just have to get through.

745
00:32:08,407 --> 00:32:10,192
And we may need support to do it.

746
00:32:10,235 --> 00:32:11,536
Friendship and family.

747
00:32:11,561 --> 00:32:13,345
Yes, of course.

748
00:32:13,405 --> 00:32:16,670
But sometimes we need
to go to a professional.

749
00:32:19,654 --> 00:32:21,047
Talk to someone.

750
00:32:21,072 --> 00:32:24,075
I know you have in the
past, and it's been helpful.

751
00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:27,035
Therapy? Who's got the time?

752
00:32:27,078 --> 00:32:28,340
You make the time.

753
00:32:28,384 --> 00:32:31,284
Okay. I'll drink herbal tea at night

754
00:32:31,309 --> 00:32:33,302
and just get my act together.

755
00:32:33,364 --> 00:32:36,534
Sure, but being a strong Black woman

756
00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:41,200
sometimes means having the
courage to ask for help.

757
00:32:47,699 --> 00:32:50,916
Commander Campbell pushes
these guys through the academy.

758
00:32:50,941 --> 00:32:52,496
He cultivates them.

759
00:32:52,625 --> 00:32:55,803
And if they're
aggressive and keep quiet,

760
00:32:56,012 --> 00:32:57,674
they're Spitfire material.

761
00:32:57,699 --> 00:32:59,701
"Order by any means" is their motto?

762
00:32:59,726 --> 00:33:01,119
They're nothing but a gang.

763
00:33:01,151 --> 00:33:02,755
And Campbell's making money off them,

764
00:33:02,780 --> 00:33:04,558
hiring them out as security.

765
00:33:04,583 --> 00:33:06,204
Gang, conspiracy, racketeering.

766
00:33:06,248 --> 00:33:08,163
You think it'll make as a RICO case?

767
00:33:08,188 --> 00:33:10,538
Rita's pitching it to DOJ now.

768
00:33:11,169 --> 00:33:12,776
Listen,

769
00:33:13,559 --> 00:33:14,800
when I went after Blakely...

770
00:33:14,825 --> 00:33:16,426
You don't have to.

771
00:33:17,067 --> 00:33:21,661
We all got something inside
that we try to keep at bay.

772
00:33:22,421 --> 00:33:24,206
Sometimes it's harder than others.

773
00:33:24,231 --> 00:33:27,605
Far as I'm concerned, Blakely
and Yates are murderers.

774
00:33:27,630 --> 00:33:29,653
As bad as any criminal we ever go after.

775
00:33:29,678 --> 00:33:31,857
Worse really, since we
have to jump through hoops

776
00:33:31,882 --> 00:33:34,082
on the slim hope we can take
them down for racketeering.

777
00:33:34,378 --> 00:33:36,685
I want to take a swing at them, too.

778
00:33:37,711 --> 00:33:38,716
Rita.

779
00:33:38,772 --> 00:33:40,639
The Justice Department
understood what the team

780
00:33:40,664 --> 00:33:43,709
was trying to accomplish,
they commended our work

781
00:33:43,734 --> 00:33:47,437
and creativity for meeting the
standards of the RICO statute.

782
00:33:48,460 --> 00:33:50,553
Uh, so we got an "attaboy"?

783
00:33:50,596 --> 00:33:53,437
They applauded your effort
to take down bad cops,

784
00:33:54,007 --> 00:33:56,162
but they're declining the case.

785
00:33:56,187 --> 00:33:58,866
The evidence just wasn't strong
enough to get a conviction.

786
00:33:58,909 --> 00:34:00,693
They won't commit the resources.

787
00:34:00,830 --> 00:34:02,266
Where does this leave us?

788
00:34:03,871 --> 00:34:05,567
Back at square one.

789
00:34:16,808 --> 00:34:19,637
Well, it's official. Yates lawyered up.

790
00:34:19,873 --> 00:34:21,309
He won't flip on Blakely.

791
00:34:21,334 --> 00:34:23,319
He's willing to take the IRS hit.

792
00:34:23,362 --> 00:34:25,638
And let's face it, he's
probably not gonna get any time.

793
00:34:25,662 --> 00:34:27,410
Which means Blakely's gonna walk, too.

794
00:34:27,453 --> 00:34:29,586
No justice for Palmer or
any of the other victims.

795
00:34:29,629 --> 00:34:31,691
- Yeah, this pisses me off.
- Me, too.

796
00:34:31,716 --> 00:34:35,026
But all we can do is keep
working, the right way.

797
00:34:35,070 --> 00:34:37,449
T-There's plenty of other
cops doing the same thing.

798
00:34:37,474 --> 00:34:39,552
And these guys just get away with it.

799
00:34:39,596 --> 00:34:41,095
How are we supposed to change the system

800
00:34:41,119 --> 00:34:42,860
when the system keeps
getting in the way?

801
00:34:42,904 --> 00:34:44,375
Honestly, I don't know.

802
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,620
But we can't give up.

803
00:34:45,663 --> 00:34:47,709
Hey. I'm looking for Pride.

804
00:34:47,978 --> 00:34:49,954
Got something he requested.

805
00:34:49,997 --> 00:34:51,758
You know I'm willing to
help whenever possible,

806
00:34:51,782 --> 00:34:54,256
but I'm still not understanding
why you wanted the time cards

807
00:34:54,281 --> 00:34:55,687
of the Spitfire officers.

808
00:34:55,712 --> 00:34:58,933
I had a hunch, but I wanted
proof before I said anything.

809
00:34:58,958 --> 00:35:00,546
And I have the proof right here.

810
00:35:00,757 --> 00:35:02,865
Pride wanted me to
cross-reference the time cards

811
00:35:02,890 --> 00:35:04,466
with the Alpha Dog's work schedule.

812
00:35:04,491 --> 00:35:06,068
You notice anything unusual?

813
00:35:06,093 --> 00:35:09,991
It looks like these
officers are working security

814
00:35:10,016 --> 00:35:11,124
while on patrol.

815
00:35:11,149 --> 00:35:12,703
Can't be two places at the same time.

816
00:35:12,728 --> 00:35:15,086
They're double-dipping, and lying.

817
00:35:15,632 --> 00:35:17,881
Either they're getting paid
not to work for the city

818
00:35:17,906 --> 00:35:20,055
or they're getting paid
not to work for security.

819
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,624
Both ways are against the rules.

820
00:35:22,659 --> 00:35:25,406
But not the law. It's
not a criminal offense.

821
00:35:25,444 --> 00:35:27,576
But it is a fireable one.

822
00:35:28,987 --> 00:35:31,695
So if we can't put them behind bars...

823
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,999
We can get them off the force.

824
00:35:39,221 --> 00:35:41,911
- This is ridiculous.
- Take it easy, Yates.

825
00:35:41,936 --> 00:35:43,590
We'll be back.

826
00:35:50,029 --> 00:35:52,443
Oh, I bet you think
you did something today,

827
00:35:52,888 --> 00:35:54,453
but I got your number.

828
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,555
By the time I'm done suing, I
will own you, this department,

829
00:35:57,580 --> 00:36:00,260
- this entire city.
- Yeah. Until then,

830
00:36:00,285 --> 00:36:01,765
the badge stays with us.

831
00:36:01,885 --> 00:36:03,887
You got my number too, right?

832
00:36:07,379 --> 00:36:09,033
Feeling pretty good about yourself?

833
00:36:09,173 --> 00:36:11,253
You're a bad cop and a murderer.

834
00:36:11,278 --> 00:36:13,470
And all you did was lose your job.

835
00:36:13,733 --> 00:36:17,314
I've had better days, but it's a start.

836
00:36:17,339 --> 00:36:19,043
Want to pick up where we left off?

837
00:36:19,087 --> 00:36:22,394
No. I don't want to
kick your ass anymore.

838
00:36:22,698 --> 00:36:24,614
I want to make you pay.

839
00:36:24,657 --> 00:36:28,922
Full freight, for ruining
the reputation of the NOPD

840
00:36:28,966 --> 00:36:30,663
and for killing two men.

841
00:36:30,924 --> 00:36:32,502
This isn't over.

842
00:36:33,518 --> 00:36:35,320
Not by a long shot.

843
00:36:39,283 --> 00:36:41,626
Can't believe how satisfying that felt.

844
00:36:41,651 --> 00:36:43,627
Feel better when we
can put him in cuffs.

845
00:36:43,658 --> 00:36:45,765
Problem for another day. Lunch?

846
00:36:45,926 --> 00:36:47,275
If you're buying.

847
00:36:52,245 --> 00:36:55,558
Okay. Yeah, no, let me get back to you.

848
00:36:55,909 --> 00:36:57,784
Let me think about it.

849
00:36:58,376 --> 00:37:00,089
Okay. Yeah.

850
00:37:01,223 --> 00:37:02,495
Bye.

851
00:37:03,696 --> 00:37:05,456
Hey. Everything all right?

852
00:37:05,742 --> 00:37:06,886
I think so.

853
00:37:07,874 --> 00:37:09,175
What happened?

854
00:37:10,268 --> 00:37:11,835
I just spoke to my mother.

855
00:37:12,299 --> 00:37:13,736
You told her?

856
00:37:13,761 --> 00:37:15,491
Didn't have to.

857
00:37:15,516 --> 00:37:17,475
She already knew I was gay.

858
00:37:17,500 --> 00:37:19,676
- She did?
- Yes.

859
00:37:19,700 --> 00:37:23,220
All these years I've agonized
over telling her, like,

860
00:37:24,184 --> 00:37:27,315
suffering in silence,
dreading the day she found out.

861
00:37:28,470 --> 00:37:30,037
She knew it.

862
00:37:30,119 --> 00:37:32,534
She knew it the entire time.

863
00:37:33,472 --> 00:37:35,728
That's great. You should be happy.

864
00:37:37,407 --> 00:37:39,104
I am...

865
00:37:39,129 --> 00:37:40,821
- I guess.
- Ah...

866
00:37:40,846 --> 00:37:44,899
It's just, like, she wants
to meet Kara, like, now.

867
00:37:45,248 --> 00:37:47,102
I've never had my
mother meet a girlfriend.

868
00:37:47,127 --> 00:37:50,109
I've never had a girlfriend
for more than a few weeks.

869
00:37:50,134 --> 00:37:53,330
Yeah, it's-it's... it's growth.

870
00:37:53,659 --> 00:37:55,470
It's terrifying.

871
00:38:00,382 --> 00:38:03,541
Oh. Hey, Mom. Another
late night at work?

872
00:38:03,705 --> 00:38:08,094
Actually, I took off early
because I had an appointment

873
00:38:08,728 --> 00:38:10,421
with a therapist.

874
00:38:10,971 --> 00:38:12,711
Black people don't go to therapy.

875
00:38:12,736 --> 00:38:14,085
This one does.

876
00:38:14,914 --> 00:38:17,094
It can help when you're
struggling with a problem

877
00:38:17,125 --> 00:38:19,250
you don't know how to solve by yourself.

878
00:38:19,468 --> 00:38:21,604
Especially in these times when life

879
00:38:21,629 --> 00:38:24,023
just seems so out of control.

880
00:38:25,608 --> 00:38:28,402
I know I've been a
pain in the butt lately.

881
00:38:28,488 --> 00:38:31,996
Been drinking more than usual.

882
00:38:32,363 --> 00:38:34,011
I haven't noticed.

883
00:38:34,036 --> 00:38:35,776
Yes, you have.

884
00:38:36,006 --> 00:38:38,239
And that's fine. You're
old enough to know

885
00:38:38,264 --> 00:38:40,397
what's going on in the world right now.

886
00:38:41,751 --> 00:38:44,362
It feels like I have
a lot on my shoulders.

887
00:38:44,780 --> 00:38:47,248
You don't have to explain. Yes, I do.

888
00:38:48,071 --> 00:38:50,029
It's, uh, it's just that...

889
00:38:50,459 --> 00:38:54,677
things have been enormously
stressful, and to cope,

890
00:38:54,826 --> 00:38:58,555
I'd been using the wine as a crutch.

891
00:38:59,367 --> 00:39:02,554
That's not fair to you. I'm sorry.

892
00:39:03,328 --> 00:39:05,209
I can help take care of you.

893
00:39:08,157 --> 00:39:10,321
Thank you, CJ.

894
00:39:11,255 --> 00:39:13,300
But you're my son.

895
00:39:14,116 --> 00:39:16,466
You shouldn't have to take care of me.

896
00:39:18,179 --> 00:39:21,235
I take care of me. And you.

897
00:39:22,367 --> 00:39:26,589
And the first steps
are to be with these.

898
00:39:28,573 --> 00:39:30,831
Need to get your signs together.

899
00:39:31,753 --> 00:39:33,854
- Protest happened a few days ago.
- Mm.

900
00:39:33,879 --> 00:39:38,908
There's a Black Lives
Matter protest on Saturday,

901
00:39:38,933 --> 00:39:40,353
and we're gonna be there.

902
00:39:40,378 --> 00:39:41,378
Word?

903
00:39:42,133 --> 00:39:43,344
Word.

904
00:39:47,563 --> 00:39:50,211
Oh, Rita? Those go up there.

905
00:39:50,472 --> 00:39:52,899
Okay. Got it.

906
00:39:57,740 --> 00:39:59,220
Uh-uh.

907
00:40:20,938 --> 00:40:23,574
- Ah, Mayor Taylor.
- Yeah.

908
00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:24,863
Come on in.

909
00:40:24,888 --> 00:40:26,177
Sorry for the late visit.

910
00:40:26,202 --> 00:40:27,788
Oh, no. No-no problem at all.

911
00:40:27,813 --> 00:40:29,133
Can I get you something to drink?

912
00:40:29,162 --> 00:40:30,618
- Uh, you want to sit down?
- Oh, no. No.

913
00:40:30,642 --> 00:40:32,078
I'm fine, thank you.

914
00:40:32,122 --> 00:40:34,521
Uh, this will actually be a brief visit.

915
00:40:35,107 --> 00:40:36,169
What's going on?

916
00:40:36,213 --> 00:40:38,324
I just wanted to thank you
for all the work you did

917
00:40:38,349 --> 00:40:39,964
on the Palmer case.

918
00:40:39,989 --> 00:40:44,724
Oh, well, I appreciate that,
but it feels incomplete to me.

919
00:40:45,442 --> 00:40:47,528
Blakely and Yates are
still walking the streets.

920
00:40:47,553 --> 00:40:49,250
Don't sell yourself short, Dwayne.

921
00:40:49,275 --> 00:40:51,224
Due to your efforts,
they're off the force,

922
00:40:51,249 --> 00:40:54,034
as well as 11 other
officers who had no business

923
00:40:54,059 --> 00:40:56,078
wearing the badge in the first place.

924
00:40:56,103 --> 00:40:57,496
That's a great start.

925
00:40:57,521 --> 00:40:59,000
Much more to be done.

926
00:40:59,176 --> 00:41:01,325
That's actually why I'm here.

927
00:41:01,699 --> 00:41:05,166
Loretta said something to me
about the collective trauma

928
00:41:05,191 --> 00:41:06,987
New Orleans is going through right now,

929
00:41:07,012 --> 00:41:09,104
and how the city deserves better.

930
00:41:09,129 --> 00:41:10,471
I couldn't agree more.

931
00:41:10,496 --> 00:41:13,455
I started thinking about
everything we need to rebuild

932
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,558
once COVID is over and
how to rebuild in a way

933
00:41:16,601 --> 00:41:19,082
that serves all the citizens better.

934
00:41:19,470 --> 00:41:20,950
Well, what did you have in mind?

935
00:41:20,975 --> 00:41:23,099
A lot of systemic
issues plaguing the city.

936
00:41:23,124 --> 00:41:25,528
Not just over-policing, but housing,

937
00:41:25,553 --> 00:41:28,053
schools, health care, childcare. It...

938
00:41:28,078 --> 00:41:30,371
Ooh, each one of those
could take years of work

939
00:41:30,396 --> 00:41:32,045
just to unravel the problems.

940
00:41:32,070 --> 00:41:35,465
Which is why I've decided
to create a task force

941
00:41:35,490 --> 00:41:37,622
to look into some of these issues.

942
00:41:37,779 --> 00:41:42,192
Uh, recommend the big changes,
yes, but also the small ones

943
00:41:42,217 --> 00:41:44,952
that could really make a
difference in someone's life,

944
00:41:44,977 --> 00:41:47,284
and I'd like you to join, Dwayne.

945
00:41:47,445 --> 00:41:50,141
Well...

946
00:41:52,828 --> 00:41:54,545
Oh, y... No.

947
00:41:54,570 --> 00:41:57,214
I'm-I'm flattered,
but I am no politician.

948
00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,895
No, you are someone
who gets things done.

949
00:42:02,255 --> 00:42:03,996
And that's why I want you.

950
00:42:04,315 --> 00:42:06,331
I need you, really.

951
00:42:07,409 --> 00:42:08,971
I'd ask you to think about it,

952
00:42:08,996 --> 00:42:11,823
but the Dwayne I know
already has an answer.

953
00:42:13,151 --> 00:42:15,051
So, are you in?

954
00:42:22,483 --> 00:42:27,683
