00:06What, you don't like the St. Louis no more?
00:09I'm pregnant. I'm happy for you.
00:11I love you.
00:12I love you too.
00:13When you left, you said, I'm gonna start my own church.
00:16I know where your bodies are buried, Pastor.
00:19And I'm willing to keep them there.
00:21Only if you welcome me back.
00:23Welcome back.
00:24I know you're eyeing the nomination for the 7th Circuit Court.
00:28Yes.
00:28If you put him in jail, and it turns out he's innocent,
00:32it'll burn you.
00:35The FBI failed to disclose critical evidence
00:38and substantially prejudiced the defendant, Victor Taylor.
00:42I am ordering that the case be dismissed.
00:44You've terrorized this city long enough.
00:47I should have known you two were conspiring against me.
00:49This was all me, Mr. Big Stuff.
00:52Bianca was just a decoy.
00:54Sorry. Any last words?
00:56Fuck you.
00:58New sheriff in town, ladies.
01:02We don't work for you.
01:05Either can work together, or we can be enemies.
01:07I don't give a fuck.
01:08I'm gonna be your worst fucking nightmare.
01:13Hey, y'all niggas gonna report to me now.
01:15I'm not giving you no more money,
01:17and I don't work for you.
01:18Bye, nigga.
01:19I'm in charge now.
01:29Get your shit and come with me.
01:30No!
01:31I'm done.
01:32I always had your back.
01:34You like my family.
01:35I can't always trust family, nigga.
01:37You can trust me.
01:39It's me or them.
01:40Hey, Bakari.
01:50Get in the front.
01:50I can't wait.
01:57I'm in charge now.
01:59Let's go.
02:00Run for fuck.
02:01Uh huh?
02:01Let's go.
02:02Let's go.
02:02I don't know.
02:32Wake up, motherfucker!
02:34What the fuck?
02:38Did you kill my son?
02:40What?
02:41And leave his body at my doorstep?
02:44Hell no, that wasn't me.
02:50I don't believe you.
02:52I'm in business with Rob. Why would I fuck up my money?
02:59They made the call.
03:02Why would they want to kill my son?
03:08They was arguing about summoning.
03:10Next thing I know, his body dropped.
03:12Arguing over what?
03:14I don't know what they was arguing about,
03:16but when I seen him, he was gone.
03:18I didn't want to throw his body in the river.
03:20I wanted you to give your son a proper barrier.
03:25Why should I believe you?
03:27That motherfucker is not a lawyer.
03:29Ain't he thirsty for power?
03:31You tell me why you keep him around.
03:35I don't want him around anymore.
03:45I'm sorry about your side.
03:52Did you kill that man?
03:53No.
03:59He said it wasn't him.
04:03And you believe that nigga?
04:09Do you know Zay?
04:10I mean, I know you want to do this, Ronis.
04:16Nuck said Zay did it.
04:20You sure?
04:24Do you think he would do something like that?
04:26I do it.
04:32Bring him to me.
04:41Oh, God.
04:48I need to shower, and I need to get my head clear.
04:51Hey.
04:52Hey.
04:56I don't mind your hot bath.
04:59Make yourself full.
05:02Please.
05:05I'm okay, baby.
05:10Oh, no.
05:15I have to tell Tana.
05:17Oh, no.
05:18I ain't got worried about that right now.
05:19No.
05:21I got water to find out from somebody else.
05:26Please.
05:27Let's go.
05:28Bye.
05:29Bye.
05:40Man, I fucked that nigga.
05:43Zay, I don't think he demoted you.
05:46He told Bakari to get up front and told me to get in the back.
05:49Well, Bakari was there before you.
05:52He's my cousin.
05:54Well, with everything going on, I just think you should be quiet.
05:58You telling me not to speak up for myself?
06:01I just think you need to lay low for now.
06:04I don't need to do shit.
06:06Everybody knows he killed Duda.
06:07Ain't no telling what else he's gonna do.
06:09He killed Rob, too.
06:10Why?
06:13Because Rob didn't want to pay him no more.
06:18Oh, my God.
06:22Please.
06:24Don't say anything.
06:26Nick is my family.
06:28He can't kill me.
06:29Says who?
06:30Says us.
06:36Trust me.
06:37I'm good.
06:40I hope so.
07:01What's going on?
07:02Tell.
07:06I have to tell you something.
07:07I have to tell you something.
07:11I'm looking I've could he do something.
07:13You know.
07:15That's theuan Em
07:33I don't know.
08:03I'm nothing like that old-ass nigga that was in charge before me.
08:06I don't like none of that flashy shit, and I don't like making too much noise.
08:11Only thing I like doing is getting money and going to fuck home.
08:14That's it, that's all.
08:15I don't tolerate no fucking disrespect, because any one of you niggas disrespect me, I'll kill you.
08:22I don't like doing that shit, but I will if I had to.
08:25Understood?
08:26Is that shit understood?
08:28Yeah.
08:29All right, check.
08:29Now let's stay humble and keep a low profile, all right?
08:33Because I got a son now, somebody to protect.
08:36My life means a lot to me.
08:39All I need y'all niggas to do is to stay loyal and keep y'all eyes open.
08:44If y'all can remain loyal to me, I will make sure every single one of y'all never go hungry.
08:49All right?
08:5063rd over everything.
08:53All right?
08:5363rd over everything.
08:58Over everything, man.
08:59It's my shit.
09:00All right?
09:01All right.
09:01We're good.
09:04So you're really gonna be different than Duke?
09:06Hell yeah.
09:08Okay.
09:09So you're cool when you write my book?
09:16Hell yeah, man.
09:17Hey, look.
09:18Just make that shit a novel, not a memo.
09:19All right?
09:20All right?
09:21All right?
09:21I can do that.
09:22All right.
09:23And I want that shit to see you, too.
09:26You do?
09:27Hell yeah.
09:27Man, I don't want you to be doing this shit forever.
09:30What about me?
09:32You want me to do this shit forever?
09:34Why the fuck is you late?
09:36I was with my girl.
09:37That's not more important than this.
09:39It's the day it was.
09:40You got a problem?
09:41Yeah, I do, actually.
09:45I want to work alongside you, not for you.
09:49I'm not looking for no partner.
09:50I ain't looking for a new boss.
09:51So what the fuck you looking for?
09:52Enemy?
09:53Hmm?
09:55Come on, man.
09:57You'll never be my enemy.
09:59You'll be my cousin.
10:03You either can work for me, or you can leave.
10:06My nigga, that door is right there.
10:08I'm not holding you.
10:13Right.
10:13That's what I thought.
10:20Be safe, Zay.
10:27Oh, my God.
10:51The person who took my son will pay me.
11:06Yes.
11:12Yes.
11:17The victim has been identified as Robert Lafayette, son of real estate developer and philanthropist Alicia Daniels Lafayette.
11:28This comes as a devastating loss just weeks after his father, Alonzo Daniels Lafayette, was found murdered in his vehicle.
11:35Officials have declined to comment on whether there are any connections between the two homicides.
11:41This started to hit too close to home.
11:44It's Chicago. It's always close to home.
11:49I can't believe Rob is gone.
11:51He took a shot at Duda and missed. It's only a matter of time.
11:57I can't stay here.
11:59You just moved back.
12:01Chicago. I can't stay in the city anymore. I think we should move.
12:06Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Duda's gone. The city will be different.
12:09What? Rob was shot after Duda died, so what's the difference?
12:13So where would we go?
12:14Anywhere but here.
12:15We can't run from ourselves.
12:17I'm not trying to. I just want to be safe.
12:20You're safe for me wherever we go.
12:22I don't know if that's true.
12:24All right, look. I need you to trust me.
12:28People around you keep dying.
12:30That's not my fault.
12:32I don't see you doing anything about it.
12:43Do you know something about Duda's murder?
12:50Oh, jeez. Hmm. Hmm.
12:55Okay. What do you need?
12:57A new place to stay.
12:58What happened with Lene?
13:02Mm-mm.
13:04I'm not talking about that.
13:09Well, I wish I could let you stay here with me, but I can't.
13:17What you should do is enroll in school and stay on campus.
13:20Oh, I can't do that.
13:22I don't even have a bank account.
13:25There's scholarships.
13:26I ain't finished high school.
13:28I don't have transcripts, GED, attendance, none of that shit, man.
13:32Where there's a will, there's a way.
13:35Look at me.
13:36Do you want to spend the rest of your life running from death?
13:39Or do you want to change your life?
13:40Do you want to change your life?
13:45I had a vision of you
13:48And just like that
13:50I was left to live without it
13:54Left to live without it
13:58I found a version of love
14:01And just like that
14:03I was left to live without it
14:06Left to live without it
14:09Left to live without it
14:11Waiting for this storm to pass
14:16Waiting on this side of the glass
14:24I had a version of home
14:27And just like that
14:29I was left to live without it
14:32My daughter is lucky to have y'all in her life.
14:57Thank you for being her chosen family.
15:00For y'all we got.
15:02This can't be easy for you either.
15:13Girl, me and Griefer just old friends now.
15:20Look, you just know that you have support too, okay?
15:26I always knew that this day would come.
15:28I just, I didn't know it was going to feel like this.
15:33Like what?
15:36Like through this, breaking my heart all over again.
15:38Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful and worship God with reverence and awe.
16:04For our God is a consuming fire.
16:07Our city's already on fire.
16:10Sounds like you're fanning the flames.
16:12Sometimes things need to be burned down so we can rebuild again.
16:17Hmm.
16:18For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.
16:22Corinthians 14, 33.
16:24Sounds like somebody's been reading their Bible.
16:26I guess so.
16:27Well, everyone turns to God in times of unrest.
16:30They turn to their pastors too.
16:34Well, how can I help you?
16:37Judah had Pastor Jackson killed when he warned his congregation to stay away from him.
16:42Yeah, I heard about that.
16:43Now it's time for you to step forward and be the voice for your community.
16:51People look to the pulpit when they have nowhere else to go.
16:54I'm not that kind of pastor.
16:55Well, maybe you need to be.
16:56We will guide our congregation the way we see fit.
16:58Look, you've got their attention.
17:01Do something with it.
17:02I got a church to run.
17:03A church or a business?
17:04What do you want me to do?
17:10Gather the people.
17:12Get them to talk.
17:13Remind them to pray.
17:14But make sure they know that it's better to build a bridge than to burn it.
17:23Maybe you should write the sermon.
17:27No, you got it.
17:34I knew this day would come.
17:58So did I.
18:01The funeral is tomorrow.
18:03If either of you would like to attend.
18:07I might.
18:09I'd be there just to make sure he's dead.
18:13Easy.
18:15That is my husband.
18:18My son is gone.
18:19I could give a fuck about niceties.
18:25So, you're planning revenge?
18:28Aren't you?
18:29My manicure is way too expensive to be pulling triggers.
18:37Besides, I got a shooter for that.
18:41So you don't care who killed Duda?
18:43I'm sure whoever did it has their reasons.
18:48And I'm not trying to get caught in any crossfire.
18:53If you ever need me, I'm just a call away.
18:56I'll keep that in mind.
19:08I'm sorry for your loss.
19:12I think that you should get away for a few days.
19:23Take time to grieve.
19:26Or grieve when the person who killed my son is dead.
19:29Tiff, turn that off.
19:56You don't need to be watching that right now.
19:59I can watch what I want.
20:03Why you want to trigger yourself?
20:11I'm sorry.
20:13I know.
20:14Everybody's sorry.
20:16Is there anything I can do for you?
20:18Bring him back?
20:19I know y'all loved each other.
20:27Please do not say it's better to have loved and lost than not loved at all.
20:32I wasn't going to say that.
20:34What are you going to say?
20:36I was going to say, some people go their whole lives without experiencing love like y'all had.
20:44So be grateful that you had it.
20:47Even though now you have to grieve it.
20:51Isn't it basically the same thing?
20:55It's not the same thing, girl.
20:57So what does he expect you to do?
21:14Be Martin Luther King Jr.?
21:15I gotta do more than collect tides.
21:18Nah, Pastor, we do way more than that.
21:20Come on.
21:21He's right.
21:22We don't do a lot of community outreach.
21:25Well, that's because people come to us.
21:27We don't go looking out for the flock.
21:29Well, now we need to go to them.
21:35So who's in charge of the extra cash flow now that your plug is dead?
21:41His number two.
21:45Do you have a relationship with him?
21:47Nah, but I need to build one.
21:52I mean, do you want me to go with you?
21:54I-I can go.
21:55I think I need to handle this myself.
22:02Is everything else okay?
22:07If you're inquiring about my marriage, I suggest you mind the business that pays you.
22:14You are the business that pays me, Pastor.
22:20I'm figuring it out.
22:21All right.
22:24Well, I'm here if you ever want to talk about it.
22:28I know.
22:36He's tired of people asking what they can do for you.
22:40Yeah.
22:41Well, if you need anything at all, I got you.
22:53I'm worried.
22:56About what?
22:58About whether or not I can really be here for EJ right now.
23:03We can take him for a few days.
23:04Oh, I mean full-time.
23:13I can't sleep.
23:14I feel nauseous.
23:16I just don't feel like myself.
23:18I need some time.
23:22Normally, I would ask my mom, but I don't think she can handle it.
23:25I hear you.
23:32We'll do it.
23:36EJ.
23:37EJ.
23:37EJ.
23:37EJ.

24:10EJ.
24:11Look, I'm cool, bro. We ain't gonna use your church to hide money anymore, all right?
24:16Well, you gonna quit it.
24:19You know what? I might start trusting in my guys a little more.
24:23But let them hold that shit for you.
24:25I can't count on somebody I don't know.
24:28Maybe it's time we get to know each other.
24:31Now, how the fuck is that gonna benefit me?
24:34It's always good to have a man of God in your corner.
24:37I can believe that.
24:38And I'm here to make sure your path is protected.
24:43Definitely need that.
24:45I do spiritual advising for a lot of high-profile folks in the city.
24:51It's not easy being the leader. Trust me.
24:55So what kind of man are you?
25:00I'm a work in progress.
25:02So is God working on you?
25:03He's working on all of us. It's just a matter of being obedient.
25:08Not too good at that.
25:11Most of us aren't.
25:13So how did this work?
25:16We'll set up a time and I'll send you an invoice.
25:19An invoice? Get the fuck out of here, man.
25:21My guidance ain't free.
25:23So how much is your guidance, pastor?
25:27Two racks a session.
25:28Two racks a session?
25:29You better make sure my ass gets to heaven.
25:31Got you.
25:40So which student is it now?
25:41Oh, sorry.
25:43Um, he's more of a mentee.
25:45Hmm.
25:45Yeah.
25:46Is this the one who wants to write the book?
25:47Yes. Yes.
25:49He says he wants to turn it into a novel now.
25:52Oh, great.
25:54Another novel about street life.
25:56It's exactly what we need.
25:56Baby, kids don't want to read books about worlds they don't relate to.
26:01Yeah, neither did we, but we did it.
26:03Yeah, and it bored me to tears.
26:05But look at you now.
26:06No.
26:07No.
26:07Stop, stop.
26:09My father and my big brothers are the reason I'm the man I am today.
26:13Okay.
26:16Bakari doesn't have that.
26:18Bakari.
26:19Mm-hmm.
26:19Is that his real name?
26:22Now you sound like your mother.
26:23Well, may God rest her soul.
26:24Oh, you know she didn't get into heaven with all of that gossiping and that down-talking
26:29on the middle class that she did.
26:31Mm-mm.
26:32Okay.
26:33She was a little bougie.
26:34A little bougie.
26:35But I am grateful that she pushed me.
26:37Yeah.
26:39She raised an amazing woman.
26:43Mm-hmm.
26:44You're doing a lot right now.
26:46What you need.
26:47Mm-hmm.
26:49I need you to ask your friend to give Bakari a scholarship.
26:55Alicia?
26:57Yes.
26:58I know she gives him out once a year.
27:01So there's a whole interviewing process and...
27:05And her son just died.
27:07So I'm not even sure if she's going to give it out this year.
27:10I didn't know.
27:11I'm sorry.
27:12What happened to him?
27:14Someone shot and killed him.
27:15I feel that if Bakari doesn't get this scholarship, he may meet the same fate.
27:29Let me talk to her.
27:31You are the one.
27:32I know.
27:35So are you.
27:42What's the occasion?
27:46What, I got to have a reason to break bread with you or something?
27:51You all right?
27:52You all right?
27:52How you been?
28:01You okay?
28:03No.
28:08What you getting into, shorty?
28:09I was trying to get out.
28:15Yeah.
28:16What happened?
28:17Nook needs me.
28:20Yeah.

32:08It's too soon for me to ask for favors.
32:11Well, I owe you one.
32:15Well, it's not really a favor for me.
32:18It's more of an ask for my husband.
32:20Go on.
32:25He's been mentoring a young man who wants to get off the street.
32:29And he thinks your scholarship could help him.
32:31He actually thinks it could save his life.
32:34Why couldn't I save my own son's life?
32:39That wasn't your fault?
32:41Yes, it was.
32:42You were a good mother.
32:44No.
32:45I wasn't.
32:46I wanted him to be like me, and he just wasn't.
32:53And he'd always say he was the black sheep of the family.
32:57They didn't fit in with us, but...
33:01Now he's gone.
33:03If you help this young man, it could be a way for you to honor your son's life.
33:15Send him to me.
33:33Hey, bro, it's beautiful in here, man.
33:39Yeah.
33:40And a nigga ain't even know about it.
33:45Hey, look at me, man.
33:46Look at the fish.
33:47Look at the fish.
33:48Hey, you're a fish.
33:49Yeah.
33:50You too.
33:54Got me feeling like a dad right now.
33:56Got me feeling like a dad right now.
33:59Because I'm who they come to.
34:01Because I'm who they come to.
34:02And there's no way to run.
34:03When it's no way to run.
34:04Got me feeling like a dad right now.
34:07And he's feeling like a dad.

34:35Yeah, I want my sons to be better than me, too.
34:38This way.
34:41See the fish.
34:43Point at something.
34:44So how do we make sure that happens, though?
34:48You got to tell them who you are.
34:50Look, what if I want to tell them everything?
34:52Then you might make the same mistakes.
35:00Just no one would be ashamed of you.
35:05When you become somebody, you won't be ashamed of.

35:56They gave you money and they think they own you.
35:58No, he beat me up because I gave it back.
36:01The fuck you do that for?
36:02Because I knew you didn't want me to have it.
36:07And because I got scared.

37:53Lord, I ask that you cover my baby with your mercy, with all of your graciousness, God.
38:19Lord, keep her wrapped in the blood of Jesus, because we know no weapon formed against her shall prosper.
38:33Order her steps, Lord.
38:38Heal her broken heart.
38:49Help me, Lord, oh, help me, Lord, I need your hand of grace.
38:58Oh, mercy, Lord, oh, mercy, Lord, I need your hand of grace.
39:07There are a lot of candidates who really need this scholarship.
39:15Why should I give it to you?
39:17Um, I thought my professor spoke to you.
39:21You have to speak for yourself.
39:24I don't do handouts.
39:26I had to do a lot of bad shit in my life.
39:40Not because I wanted to, but because I had to.
39:46What have you done?
39:47Why does that matter?
39:49It's all a part of your story.
39:50If you're not ready to share it, then maybe you're not ready for this opportunity.
39:56I killed someone, but only because he took someone I love.
40:14In that case, it may have been justified.
40:20You think so?
40:22I do.
40:23Well, if, if you give me this scholarship, I won't disappoint you.
40:29I promise.
40:33If I give you this scholarship, you owe me your life.
40:38So, am I getting you?
40:51As long as you know nothing comes for free.
40:55I do.
40:56Good.
40:58I'll be in touch.
40:59So, I hear you met with Alicia Daniels Lafayette.
41:10I don't think she liked me.
41:13Hmm.
41:14Well, you clearly left an impression because she is officially granting you the Daniels Lafayette scholarship.
41:22Is everything okay?
41:34I thought you might be more excited about this.
41:40Yeah, I am.
41:42I, I just wasn't expecting it to happen all so fast.
41:45Oh, you deserve it.
41:47I see you.
41:47You've been working diligently on your book.
41:49And I'm so glad you decided to get your degree.
41:51It'll open so many doors for you.
41:53Yeah.
41:57You know, I really appreciate you coming through for me, Professor G.
42:02What?
42:03What?
42:03Come on, man.
42:05I know you won't let me down.
42:06And Alicia's a great mentor to have on your side.
42:14What the fuck?
42:16I know you killed my son.
42:19It wasn't me.
42:20You're lying.
42:21I swear, I swear on my girl's life, I ain't killed her.
42:23Well, if you didn't do it.
42:24No, no, no, please.
42:25No, no, no, no, no.
42:26Who did?
42:27I know.
42:27Who did?
42:27No, no, no, no, no.
42:28She was about to say something.
42:41The last time I hesitated, somebody else took my glory.
42:48Nobody's going to avenge the death of my son with me.
42:58Look, I ain't going to hold you, but you had a good time.
43:18Oh, he makes me so happy.
43:21I'm so glad y'all getting along.
43:23Ronnie needs both of y'all in his life.
43:25Uh, how's it doing?
43:31She's a bit overwhelmed.
43:33Yeah, I'm sure.
43:35She asked if we could take EJ for a while.
43:39What's the while?
43:41I don't know.
43:43What'd you say?
43:44I said we would do it.
