00:04:16I know the option ain't lightweight
00:04:17I'm in the zone and I might stay
00:04:19Yeah, I'm on in the right way
00:04:21Check the scoreboard, look who I play

00:05:26Hey, it's Ray
00:05:29Kayla
00:05:30Yeah
00:05:32It's me
00:05:34Darnell told me you'd be out today
00:05:35Yeah, I figured he'd tell you
00:05:37He wanted me to come with him to pick you up
00:05:41Said it'd mean something
00:05:44So why didn't
00:05:47Thought it might be better to give you some space
00:05:51But I'm here
00:05:52If you need me for anything
00:05:55So
00:05:56How does it feel to be out?
00:05:59It's weird
00:06:01It's like I'm waiting for them to say that they made a mistake
00:06:04Just throw me back in
00:06:07So I'm done, so they can pull some strings and make it happen
00:06:11That's not gonna happen, Trey
00:06:15You're out because you deserve to be
00:06:20Yeah, I just
00:06:22I just can't believe that right now
00:06:26You don't have to
00:06:27Not all at once
00:06:30Just take it in one day at a time
00:06:33Hey, you done logging my phone?
00:06:36I need to send a text
00:06:41Look, I'll talk to you later, alright?
00:06:44Yeah, yeah
00:06:45You better
00:06:46Bye
00:06:50Still?
00:06:56Yeah
00:06:57This time
00:06:59It'll be different
00:07:18Man, you don't know how long
00:07:20I've been waiting to have breakfast with you, man
00:07:24Feels good, don't it?
00:07:26Yeah
00:07:27It's been a while
00:07:29Yeah, but you're here now
00:07:32And that's what counts
00:07:36People said that before
00:07:39Doesn't stick around long enough when things got rough
00:07:46I'm not them, Trey
00:07:48I never left
00:07:51And I'm damn sure not about to leave now
00:07:53Why at all?
00:07:56I mean, especially after everything, why?
00:08:00Because of her
00:08:03Her
00:08:17Because of mom
00:08:19She was the glue for us
00:08:20No matter what
00:08:25She always believed in you, you know
00:08:30Even when
00:08:34Even when you got locked up
00:08:49No, I didn't get to
00:08:50I know
00:08:54You never got to say goodbye
00:08:55And
00:08:56And that's on me now
00:08:59It's on me
00:09:03What do you mean?
00:09:06In her last year
00:09:08All she could do was talk about you
00:09:13How
00:09:14How proud of you she would be
00:09:17When you got out
00:09:22She just wanted to see you get another chance
00:09:29You think I'm doing this out of pity, man?
00:09:34Nah
00:09:37I'm doing this
00:09:38Because I made a promise to her
00:09:40That I would take care of you
00:09:44That's what she'd want
00:09:46I don't deserve it
00:09:50Look, you made mistakes, alright?
00:09:53But mom saw past that
00:09:55And so do I
00:09:57It's not about deserving
00:10:00It's about family, alright?
00:10:05And I'm not letting you go through this alone
00:10:12You know, she'd be proud of you
00:10:15She'd be proud of us
00:10:19Now go ahead and eat your food
00:10:20Before I start calling you out
00:10:21For how skinny you look
00:10:27Yeah
00:10:29I miss this, man
00:10:32Hey, we'll go
00:10:33Walk into my crib, man
00:10:34It ain't much
00:10:36But it's home
00:10:40Yeah
00:10:42You keep it real
00:10:44Neat
00:10:45Yeah, man, you know me
00:10:46Can't keep a mess
00:10:48And you'll thank me, though
00:10:49When you don't chip over nothing
00:10:50In the middle of the night
00:10:51Hmm
00:11:03Mom was the strongest person we ever knew
00:11:07She wanted more for us
00:11:10Every step she took
00:11:12Was so that we could stand on our own
00:11:15You think so?
00:11:17I know so, man
00:11:20You're here
00:11:21You're trying
00:11:23That's all she ever wanted
00:11:29It's a lot being back
00:11:32I get it
00:11:35But you don't have to take it in all at once
00:11:39Just take it a day at a time
00:11:42Want some coffee?
00:11:44Nah, I never got into it
00:11:46Oh, man
00:11:47Suit yourself
00:11:49Hey, but don't go touching my protein bars
00:11:51Those are off limits
00:11:53You sound like
00:11:54One of those fitness gurus
00:11:57Man, somebody gotta keep it together
00:11:59I might have to start dragging you to the gym
00:12:01Now that you're here
00:12:02Hmm
00:12:03Yeah, good luck with that
00:12:06Look, man
00:12:10I'm just glad you're here
00:12:12All right?
00:12:14Whatever you need
00:12:15Whatever it takes
00:12:17We'll figure it out
00:12:19Together, all right?

00:12:33Scream

00:13:51Look, Kayla
00:13:52I was
00:13:54I was just trying to protect you
00:13:57All right
00:13:58I didn't want you to
00:13:59Get caught up in any of that mess
00:14:01That I made
00:14:05Do you know
00:14:08How hard it was to watch you take that charge?
00:14:13Knowing that that could have been me
00:14:15Standing up there next to you
00:14:17In that courtroom
00:14:19That was never an option
00:14:20No, Trey
00:14:21That was my choice
00:14:23And you didn't just take the fall from me, Trey
00:14:25You took everything
00:14:34You know, I never stopped loving you, right?
00:14:39And I never wanted you to stop loving me
00:14:43But
00:14:45What good is all of that
00:14:46To hold on to?
00:14:49I mean
00:14:51You had your whole future ahead of you
00:14:53Me?
00:14:56I made a dumb mistake
00:14:57I paid for it
00:14:59I was in a cell
00:15:03You didn't have to shut me out
00:15:19Hey, man
00:15:19That barbecue, though?
00:15:21Man, fire

00:15:36It was outside
00:15:40Look, man

00:15:42Ain't nothing to worry about
00:15:43All right?

00:15:53Look, man
00:15:53We don't want no trouble
00:15:54Trouble?
00:15:55Don't say anything about some trouble
00:15:57Y'all know what it is
00:15:58Right in the pockets, man
00:16:00Look, man

00:16:08Yeah
00:16:09Come on
00:16:10Let's go
00:16:12Make it light on yourself
00:16:15Sound real tough with that gun
00:16:16But now I see I do
00:16:17Unless you want to make it harder
00:16:21Look, man
00:16:22We gave y'all everything, all right?
00:16:23Just let us go
00:16:24Nah, we can't do that
00:16:26Y'all got some kind of hero complex, huh?
00:16:46Hey, man
00:16:47Hey, hey, hey
00:16:48You stressed too much, all right?
00:16:50It's probably just the neighbors
00:16:52Hold on
00:16:52Let me go check
00:17:04It's your probation officer
00:17:07What's he doing here?
00:17:08Frey, open up the door
00:17:11I know you in there
00:17:25Good evening, gentlemen
00:17:30Frey
00:17:31It's been a while
00:17:37What are you doing here?
00:17:40She'll sit or check on you
00:17:42Make sure you're adjusting
00:17:44Look, we know you've been through a lot
00:17:46We just want to make sure you're good
00:17:48Look, I'm fine
00:17:49Okay, I don't need any help
00:17:53Okay
00:17:54This is starting to feel like harassment
00:17:56All right?
00:17:57He's out
00:17:58He's clean
00:18:00He's staying that way
00:18:02Darnell
00:18:04I understand your concerns
00:18:06But Trey
00:18:08Has been showing serious signs of anxiety
00:18:12And paranoia
00:18:14You know, if that goes unchecked
00:18:17It could lead to unfortunate decisions
00:18:21Look, I said I'm fine
00:18:23Okay
00:18:24Yeah, but it's not about what you think
00:18:27Or how you feel
00:18:29We just want to make sure
00:18:30Everybody understands
00:18:32What's at stake
00:18:33I said I'm fine
00:18:35I don't need this
00:18:37Let him go
00:18:38Let him
00:18:42Where you think you're going?
00:18:43Hmm?
00:18:44Hmm
00:18:47Where you think you're going?
00:18:53Anywhere but here
00:18:59Frey
00:19:01If you walk out that door
00:19:05You'll be getting yourself in some serious trouble
00:19:18They're not going for
00:19:22Hey little birdie
00:19:23They always try to run, don't they?
00:19:28Y'all got some kind of hero complex, huh?

00:19:47How you feeling?
00:19:50I'm fine
00:19:53Same as always
00:19:56Well, you know I need you to be honest with me, right?
00:19:59Look, this is not about judgment
00:20:00It's about getting you better
00:20:02I don't need no fixing
00:20:03I'm good
00:20:05Excuse me for interrupting
00:20:12Wait, give me just one second, okay?
00:20:15I'll be right back
00:20:28How's it going with our guy?
00:20:30I mean, he's resistant
00:20:31But they all are at first

00:20:41I understand
00:20:41But he'll fall in line soon
00:20:45And if he doesn't
00:20:47I have my way of making him
00:20:48Oh, man

00:22:08It's bad enough I already dragged Arnell
00:22:10So we

00:22:15You have people who love you
00:22:17Who are here for you
00:22:18Let us help
00:22:31It's just the neighbors
00:22:33Trey
00:22:35Trey
00:22:36You have to relax
00:22:37Okay?
00:22:40Trey
00:22:40Try and relax
00:22:45I'm trying to take me back
00:22:48Huh?
00:22:49I'm trying to take me back
00:22:49Who?
00:22:50Who's trying to take you back?
00:22:52Nothing
00:22:55Nothing
00:22:56Nothing
00:22:56Okay
00:22:58Okay
00:22:59Okay
00:23:00It's okay
00:23:00Okay
00:23:03It's okay
00:23:05Okay
00:23:05Okay
00:23:31I'm trying to take you back
00:23:34I'm trying to take you back
00:23:35I'm trying to take you back
00:23:49Good morning
00:23:51Good morning, Sleeping Beauty
00:23:54I can't remember the last time I slept like that
00:23:58Feels like forever
00:24:01Yeah, that's good
00:24:02You needed it
00:24:09It just feels weird
00:24:15It's like the walls ain't closing in for the first time
00:24:20That's exactly how it's supposed to feel
00:24:24I'm trying
00:24:26I know you are
00:24:29And
00:24:32You gotta learn how to let people in, Trey
00:24:35You can't do it all on your own
00:24:40You stayed up
00:24:41All night, didn't you?
00:24:43Watching you
00:24:47I did
00:24:49Why?
00:24:50Because I care about you
00:24:53I always have
00:24:55Even when you were
00:24:58Locked away
00:24:59I couldn't stop thinking about you
00:25:03You shouldn't have
00:25:10All right
00:25:12Enough of the heavy stuff
00:25:14How about we go get something to eat, huh?
00:25:17But you're trying to take me to one of your favorite spots, huh?
00:25:20Hmm
00:25:21Yeah
00:25:21Maybe
00:25:22But you'll thank me when you see that menu
00:25:24Hmm
00:25:26Yeah, we'll see
00:25:32Trey, you got another chance
00:25:36I'll throw it away
00:25:40I won't
00:25:44Let me go get dressed real quick
00:25:45Okay
00:25:53Morning
00:25:55Got everything you asked for
00:25:56And?
00:25:58He's unraveling
00:26:01Paranoia is eating him alive
00:26:03Especially since that robbery
00:26:05It's just a matter of time
00:26:06Before he does something stupid
00:26:09Good
00:26:11Keep applying the pressure
00:26:13You know, the more fragile he looks
00:26:16The easier to get him to commit
00:26:19I got guys already on him
00:26:22He doesn't have much of a support system
00:26:25Just his brother
00:26:27That makes him easier to isolate
00:26:29Darnell
00:26:31Darnell
00:26:31Isn't that his name?
00:26:32Yeah, Darnell
00:26:33You know, he could pose a problem for Trey
00:26:37Especially if he leans on him too much
00:26:39Nah
00:26:41Mm-mm
00:26:43See, Trey
00:26:43With paranoia
00:26:45It's gonna push him away soon enough
00:26:47That's what happens with guys like him
00:26:48They don't trust anybody
00:26:50Yeah, but trust is fragile
00:26:53Especially for somebody like Trey
00:26:57We need to make him feel like the walls are closing in on him
00:27:03Yeah
00:27:04So what's the play, Vanessa?
00:27:07Because I need my money
00:27:08Oh
00:27:10Document everything
00:27:13Outbursts, mishaps
00:27:17Anything that can get him committed
00:27:19If he so much as looks at someone the wrong way
00:27:23I wanna know that
00:27:24I'm already on that
00:27:26He's a goldmine of bad decisions
00:27:30We'll just make him feel like he's in control
00:27:33But just long enough to get him to
00:27:36Push over the edge
00:27:48What if he doesn't break?
00:27:50Everybody breaks, Dante
00:27:53It's just a matter of knowing where to apply the pressure
00:28:00That's it
00:28:07Yeah
00:28:07I'll keep you updated, Vanessa
00:28:17He won't even know what he'd have
00:28:29I was gonna be good, huh?
00:28:31I told you it would be
00:28:34So, man
00:28:36Took y'all long enough
00:28:39Thought you'd be back earlier
00:28:44Keeping tabs on me now?
00:28:48Someone has to
00:28:50Darnell, that's not the way to start a conversation
00:28:57Yo, what's on your mind, man?
00:29:01You, man
00:29:03This whole thing with Dante and Dr. Taylor
00:29:08I get it, okay?
00:29:10I do
00:29:12But you don't even know if it's real
00:29:14I know enough
00:29:17Look, it's not a coincidence that guys like me keep getting sent back
00:29:21For stupid stuff
00:29:24They're playing the system, darnelly
00:29:26And what are you gonna do about it?
00:29:28Huh?
00:29:30We're just going back inside
00:29:31That's what they want, man
00:29:33Okay, okay
00:29:35Trey
00:29:37He's not wrong
00:29:39If there is something there
00:29:41Then you cannot take it on without proof
00:29:44Acting on a hunch is not worth your freedom
00:29:50That's what I'm supposed to do, huh?
00:29:52Sit back and do nothing?
00:29:53No
00:29:54But you have to be smart about it
00:29:59If there's something there, then you need evidence
00:30:02Solid evidence
00:30:04And what is he supposed to do?
00:30:06Is he supposed to just walk into Dante's office and ask him to confess?
00:30:11Darnell, of course not
00:30:13You start by paying attention
00:30:16By listening
00:30:17By watching for patterns
00:30:20If something is there, it'll out itself
00:30:28And if I find that it's true
00:30:35Then we figure it out together
00:30:38Okay?
00:30:41And we take it slow
00:30:50If we do this
00:30:53You have to promise me
00:30:54That you'll take it slow
00:30:57Alright?
00:30:59No stupid moves
00:31:05Alright
00:31:07Slow
00:31:12I'm telling y'all no
00:31:14If I find out it's true
00:31:16I'm not holding back
00:31:37Hello?
00:31:40Hello?
00:31:42Is this Darnell?
00:31:46Yes, who's this?
00:31:49This is Dr. Vanessa Taylor
00:31:52I work with Trey
00:31:56I know who you are
00:31:59What do you want?
00:32:02Hmm
00:32:02Okay
00:32:03I haven't seen Trey in a while
00:32:06I'm worried about him
00:32:09You know missing appointments like this can put him in a bad position
00:32:13And
00:32:15I wanted to check in with you
00:32:20Trey's fine
00:32:23Got anything else to say?
00:32:26Look Darnell, I'm not trying to overstep
00:32:29But if he doesn't check in soon
00:32:32It's gonna look like he's violating his probation
00:32:37His PO is already starting to notice
00:32:40And I just want to help him avoid trouble
00:32:47Help him
00:32:49So that's why you called me
00:32:51So I can do your job
00:32:53No
00:32:55I called you because
00:32:57You're his brother
00:32:59He listens to you
00:33:01Now if you can talk to him
00:33:02Let him know that I'm here to help him, okay?
00:33:05Not to judge him
00:33:13So you're saying the same is set up?
00:33:15Oh, absolutely not
00:33:18I don't work for the system
00:33:21I'm just trying to make sure
00:33:22That Trey doesn't get swaddled up by it again
00:33:32Are you there?
00:33:36What do you want me to tell him?
00:33:40Tell him to meet me in my office tomorrow at 2 p.m. sharp
00:33:45No strings, no surprises
00:33:47Just a short conversation
00:33:55I'll think about it
00:33:59Thank you, Mr. Darnell
00:34:01You're doing more than you realize
00:34:03I appreciate your time
00:34:19Vanessa
00:34:21What the hell is my money?
00:34:25Shut the door, Dante
00:34:26I'm not closing no door
00:34:28Look, I done done everything that you've asked me to do
00:34:30You say bring your patience
00:34:31I brought you patience
00:34:33The only problem I'm having right now
00:34:34Is I don't have the 40 racks that you promised me
00:34:37Where is my money for the last four patience I brought in here?
00:34:43Such short-term thinking, Dante
00:34:45What the hell is that supposed to mean?
00:34:50It means
00:34:53You
00:34:54Should have never got in bed with me
00:34:58You and I both know I did what I had to do
00:35:00And I did what I had to do
00:35:02You know how hard it is in this world to get by?
00:35:05Huh?
00:35:06When the world is set to work against you
00:35:11I spent years watching this system fall apart
00:35:17Watching the forgotten slip through cracks
00:35:23There's no fairness in this world
00:35:27Only opportunity
00:35:30And that's for those who take it
00:35:35And that's exactly what I did
00:35:38I took it
00:35:40Yeah
00:35:41You see, I built a system that works for me
00:35:48And you
00:35:52Just like everybody else
00:35:57Walking around with your damn hand out
00:36:02Looking for opportunity
00:36:05Ain't no fairness in this world
00:36:10Tell you something
00:36:12Huh?
00:36:14My wife's medical bills
00:36:15They're piling up right now
00:36:17And I'm one order of the way on my job
00:36:20From all this blowing up in my face
00:36:21And you know damn well
00:36:22I never asked you for no hand out
00:36:24I'm only asking you
00:36:26To give me what I asked for in the beginning
00:36:28What you owe me
00:36:30Give me my $40,000
00:36:32And give it to me right now
00:36:43I own you, Dante
00:36:52You just said you
00:36:54You think you owe me
00:36:56I don't think
00:36:58I know
00:36:59I own you
00:37:01Yeah
00:37:07You know how easy it is for me to ruin you
00:37:12Hell, all I gotta do is make one phone call to the state
00:37:16One message to the media
00:37:19And they'll tell apart every case you ever worked on
00:37:25Expose every parole
00:37:28Yeah
00:37:34And then
00:37:37There's your wife
00:37:40Vanessa, you gotta leave my wife out of this
00:37:44Oh
00:37:47You don't think that poor lady
00:37:48Deserves to know what type of monster she married, huh?
00:37:53How the money that's keeping her alive
00:37:54Is sucking her life out of other people
00:37:59Yeah
00:38:01You wouldn't do that
00:38:03Try me
00:38:09Look
00:38:09Uh-huh
00:38:10This is not what we agreed to, okay
00:38:13This is not the plan
00:38:14The plan is whatever the hell I say it is
00:38:19Yeah
00:38:23You wanted a way out
00:38:25I gave it to you
00:38:29Now I suggest you fall in line
00:38:32And let me take care of what I've been taking care of
00:38:36Uh-uh
00:38:37Uh-uh
00:38:39Uh-uh
00:38:39Uh-uh
00:38:39Uh-uh
00:38:40Come here
00:38:41Uh-uh
00:38:45Saretha
00:38:46You agree with it or not?
00:38:51Uh-huh
00:38:52I own you
00:38:54And I am your way out
00:39:01Now get the hell out of my office
00:39:03Let's do this.
00:39:33And shut my door.
00:40:24You've been carrying this weight around for a long time now.
00:40:30I can see that you're tired.
00:40:35You know there's a place you can go to find relief, right?
00:40:41You don't have to do this alone anymore.
00:40:46A place to go.
00:40:47Yes.
00:40:50You're talking about locking me up, ain't you?
00:40:53No, it's not about locking you up.
00:40:55It's about helping you.
00:40:59Trey, you've been through so much trauma and anxiety.
00:41:05I know it's taking a toll on you.
00:41:11Look, I'm simply offering you a place to rest.
00:41:25So you really think that this place is going to fix me?
00:41:32It's not about fixing you.
00:41:36It's about helping you regain control.
00:41:43The facility can help you, Trey.
00:41:47There's also people there that's exactly like you.
00:41:50They can help you get through this.
00:42:01Why not, Doc?
00:42:02Because I can see you falling apart.
00:42:04That's why.
00:42:08Trey, the nightmares are getting worse.
00:42:15And it's a breaking point.
00:42:32It's funny that the people that swear they can help you the most
00:42:36never walk a mile in your shoes.
00:42:44You don't even know why I have nightmares.
00:42:49Tell me this, Doc.
00:42:50What if I say no?
00:42:52I won't force you.
00:42:56But what I need you to understand is
00:43:01the longer you take to take care of this,
00:43:04the harder it be to come back from this.
00:43:08I don't want you to lose yourself.
00:43:12I'll try the ultimate decision is yours.
00:43:26I'll think about it, all right?
00:43:29But I got to go, Doc.
00:43:32Yeah.
00:43:35Trey, I'm on your side.
00:43:45What's been going on, man?
00:43:47You good?
00:43:49What's up?
00:43:51Yes, I'm good, man.
00:43:53You've been saying that a lot lately,
00:43:55but you don't look it.
00:43:57What's been going on?
00:44:00No, man, I just got a lot going on.
00:44:03A lot going on like dodging people
00:44:06you're supposed to be checking in with.
00:44:09What are you talking about?
00:44:11Dr. Tather called.
00:44:14What?
00:44:16She called you?
00:44:17Why is she calling you?
00:44:18Because you're not calling her, man.
00:44:21Look, you missed an appointment, all right?
00:44:28You know that ain't any good luck.
00:44:29Bro, they don't care about me, D.
00:44:32She damn sure don't.
00:44:35It's all a setup.
00:44:38That's the paranoia talking, all right?
00:44:41Look, she just said she wanted to have a conversation.
00:44:45All right, and you got to check in with her
00:44:47before Dante starts sniffing around.
00:44:48These people don't care about me, D.
00:44:51You have no idea what it's like
00:44:53for people to be watching every single move,
00:44:56waiting for you to make a mistake.
00:45:00You think I don't understand?
00:45:04I understand it's hard out here, bro, okay?
00:45:08But sitting around dodging people's phone calls
00:45:11ain't going to make it better.
00:45:17Look, D, you're my brother, all right?
00:45:20And I love you.
00:45:21I would do anything for you.
00:45:26But you got to fight smart, all right?
00:45:29Play the game so they don't take you out of it.
00:45:35She say anything else?
00:45:39She said to meet her tomorrow at two for a conversation.
00:45:43No strings, no nothing.
00:45:45And you believe him?
00:45:47I don't know.
00:45:50But I do know you can't run forever, all right?
00:45:53And if you're going to fight,
00:45:55you might as well be on your terms.
00:46:03All right, man, I'll go.
00:46:04Oh, thank you.
00:46:06And Trey,
00:46:10don't make me regret vouching for you.

00:52:38Like another land that
00:52:39Trying to stay free
00:52:40In the paper trap
00:52:43Freedom
00:52:46Is never really free
00:52:51Sometimes a cage
00:52:55Why'd you learn how to do that?
00:52:57You pick up a lot when you need to
00:52:58Come on
00:53:30Jay, we gotta go, man
00:53:31Come on
00:53:32I think I found something
00:53:34What is it?
00:53:38Man, look at this, D
00:53:41She's been making a killing off of these patients
00:53:44Every single one that she had a medic
00:53:47Probably avoiding taxes, too
00:53:48Look at these bank statements
00:53:50You think people know about this?
00:53:51Not a chance
00:53:56Man, this is enough
00:53:57This is it
00:53:58We gotta go now
00:53:59We gotta go
00:54:00Come on
00:54:03Let's go
00:54:10Man, what else you lie for?
00:54:17Come on
00:54:22It's my file
00:54:23What?
00:54:31Everything about me is in here
00:54:36She's been watching me longer than I thought
00:54:41Trey, this is it, man
00:54:43This is enough
00:54:44We gotta go
00:54:45Now
00:54:46Now, man, now, now, now
00:54:47Come on
00:54:50What else is it?
00:54:51There's gotta be more
00:54:52Susan Taylor
00:54:55That's her mom
00:54:57What?
00:54:58Come on
00:55:06They've been switching her medication
00:55:11She became
00:55:13A doctor
00:55:13To fix what they were doing to her
00:55:17Let's go
00:55:19Okay
00:55:19Okay
00:55:20Okay
00:55:20Okay
00:55:20Okay
00:55:20Okay
00:55:23Okay
00:55:23Okay
00:55:23Mommy isn't getting better
00:55:25They keep giving her different medicine
00:55:28She says she doesn't feel real anymore
00:55:32So that's why
00:55:34She became a doctor
00:55:36To fix what they did to her mother
00:55:40Yeah
00:55:42It isn't right
00:55:42But
00:55:44Somewhere along the journey
00:55:45She
00:55:47She went way too far
00:55:51Too far
00:55:52And this is it
00:55:53Come on
00:56:01Let's hope this was worth it
00:56:03We'll be
00:56:03Let's go
00:56:03Come on
00:56:04Let's
00:56:04Let's
00:56:09Let's
00:56:19We've been at this for hours
00:56:21You sure you know what you're looking for?
00:56:24Patterns
00:56:25Discrepancies
00:56:26If you follow that money you'll find the truth
00:56:30Man this is some FBI level stuff
00:56:33You sure you know what you're doing?
00:56:36Darnell
00:56:37Our project manage multi-million dollar bills for a living
00:56:40Tracking dirty money
00:56:41It's just another piece of the puzzle
00:56:44All right
00:56:45All right
00:56:45Go ahead Sherlock
00:56:50Okay
00:56:51Look
00:56:55Regular payments
00:56:56Every two weeks
00:56:57Same amount
00:56:58Looks normal right?
00:57:00You know so?
00:57:01Except they're being sent to a show company
00:57:02The name doesn't match any legitimate business
00:57:05Look
00:57:06The company was opened three months ago
00:57:10Guess who signed the paperwork?
00:57:12That son of a
00:57:15So he's been funneling money this whole time?
00:57:19Looks like it
00:57:21But look at her face
00:57:23She's got more
00:57:25I do
00:57:26Guess who else's name is tied to it
00:58:00Listen up
00:58:03Trey is becoming a liability
00:58:06He's digging into things that he shouldn't
00:58:09And if he keeps digging
00:58:11We're all going to be exposed
00:58:14You make it seem like he's Sherlock Holmes
00:58:17The man is a thug with PTSD
00:58:20Yeah, but he's resourceful
00:58:23He has help
00:58:25With that brother and that woman helping him out
00:58:27He's pretty much unpredictable
00:58:29Hold on, hold on, hold on, girl
00:58:31Are you telling me you're that worried about this man?
00:58:35This isn't just about Trey
00:58:39He has help
00:58:43Look
00:58:44He needs to be isolated
00:58:47What's the plan?
00:58:52Surveillance
00:58:55We're going to watch his every move
00:58:58Where he's staying
00:59:00Who he's talking to
00:59:03When he hangs out with everything
00:59:08Girl
00:59:10You heard what she just said
00:59:14Effective immediately
00:59:16Keep an eye out on Trey's brother, Darnell
00:59:18Now, I will tell you this
00:59:20He is clean
00:59:22But we'll give the cops a good reason to look at him
00:59:25Got it
00:59:26We'll keep him in our sights for sure
00:59:28Hmm
00:59:29Plenty of evidence
00:59:33Cash
00:59:34A weapon
00:59:37Anything to get Darnell's attention
00:59:42And once he's in trouble
00:59:44Hell, try and follow
00:59:48Ah, hell
00:59:49Sounds like this is about to get interesting
00:59:51Say, man
00:59:53No
00:59:57Doc, you got a twisted mind
01:00:00Yeah, well, hell
01:00:01We can always go with phase two
01:00:03Phase two?
01:00:05What the hell is phase two?
01:00:07Use his trauma and paranoia
01:00:08He's
01:00:09Mm
01:00:11Mm-hmm
01:00:12He's already on edge
01:00:17All he needs is just a little push to get him created
01:00:23Seems a little risky
01:00:24You think he gonna crack?
01:00:27Oh, he gonna crack
01:00:28Dudes like Trey
01:00:29He always crack
01:00:33He's Tito
01:00:36He's on the edge
01:00:39He's gonna fall right into our hands
01:00:45I get the guys to play their part
01:00:48Mm-hmm
01:00:50Yeah
01:00:51I heard what she said
01:00:55Keep the pressure on
01:00:58No mistakes
01:01:05Whoever encrypted these files thought they were slick
01:01:09Can you crack it?
01:01:11I'm already halfway there
01:01:14Anything?
01:01:16Nothing yet
01:01:18But Dante's men don't play around
01:01:22They'll make a move soon
01:01:26Hey, it's gonna be okay
01:01:27We're gonna get through this, okay?
01:01:32Okay
01:01:33Oh, oh, oh, oh
01:01:35We're in, we're in
01:01:36This is Kale
01:01:39Look, claiming that people have been a danger to themselves
01:01:41In order to keep them locked up indefinitely
01:01:45I'm in
01:01:48Dozens
01:01:49Dozens
01:01:50Maybe more
01:01:54That name right there
01:01:56I've heard people talk about him
01:01:58They said he disappeared after a parole meeting
01:02:01So it's not just me
01:02:03She's been running this game for years
01:02:08Oh, wait
01:02:10Wait, wait
01:02:11Wait, wait
01:02:11These transfers
01:02:13They're funneling money to Dante
01:02:18That's how they work together
01:02:20She keeps the facility full
01:02:22He gets his cut
01:02:29We got company
01:02:31Let's move
01:02:46Hello
01:02:51They're moving a lot tonight
01:02:52So I need eyes on them at all times
01:02:57No, I don't need backup
01:02:58I can handle this by myself
01:03:01They think they're getting ahead of me
01:03:02They got another thing coming
01:03:08Just stick to the plan
01:03:10If anything changes
01:03:12I need to know immediately
