Hey!
Hey!
Drop your g*n!
Son,
we cannot talk
until you put your g*n down.
That's fine.
We don't need to talk.
Heard a rumor
you were back in town.
Who told you?
Don't worry about that.
Just get yourself ready.
Your boy
is taking you out tonight.
One drink, maybe two.
Uh...
I'm kind of tired,
but, um, maybe tomorrow,
if you're around, 'cause I...
You're kidding.
Yo.
How you been?
Julissa! Hey!
You're looking good.
Why don't you
come out with us tonight?
-Out?
-Does this look like
it was my idea?
Derek, I work at 6:00 a.m.
I'm waking you up early.
Mom needs you.
I'm not letting up
on your sis, dude.
That's wife.
Hey, did you get a new car?
Yeah, about that.
Yo, Kev.
You remember Derek.
Yeah, I do.
All right, man,
so where this party at, bro?
Party? Yo, you said two drinks.
Two drinks, at a party.
Tyon, bro, bro, just give me
the address, bro.
We gotta
get the f*ck up outta here.
-It's at Texas Northern.
-Texas Northern?
What, in Denton?
Bro, I told you,
I can't be out all night.
I'm not bringing my a*s
back here.
What's the problem
with coming back here?
- You're about to see
my problem right now.
- I told you.
- Just relax.
- Didn't I tell you?
- Put your hands
on the wheel and chill. Okay?
-All right. All right.
-Damn!
Evening.
What brings you guys out here?
Evening, Officer.
Just going home.
Oh, is that right?
Yeah.
What, you don't believe me?
Why can't that be my house?
Because that's
Jim Harris' house.
Son, do you want to start over,
or do I need to have you
step out of the car?
Officer Horton. Hi.
-Derek.
-These are my friends.
They were just picking me up.
Why did you lie to me?
Why did you pull me over?
Temporary operating permit.
Get that switched out.
Yeah, I work at a car
dealership, buddy.
These plates are legal.
-Hey, what the f*ck was that?
-What?
Bro, that ain't it.
You can't clap back at a cop.
Ty, get your boy, man.
Get your boy.
-Oh, my God! You know what?
-Come on, man.
Fine. How about this? I'm out.
-Yo, yo, wait! No, D! D!
-All right, bounce.
Hold up! Wait!
Yo! Yo, yo.
- Look.
- Hey.
Oh, is that your friend?
Yo. Yeah, that's my boy, Derek.
You're the Ivy League guy.
Yeah, I... I guess.
Hey, Shayne,
come look at this.
Yo, let me see this phone.
Girl, there's another one.
Another one?
Baby, I'm one of a kind,
you see?
Okay, a big talker.
Come up to Denton, put your
money where your mouth is.
Oh, baby, I will
put my mouth on every...
Ah.
We're about to roll out
right now.
Yeah.
Tiffany dad, President of
the Texas Bar Association.
And Shayne is recently single.
Yeah!
-Let's go.
-Let's go.
So you telling me,
you ain't seen nothing wrong
with what just happened?
I'm saying my neighbor's place
got broken into last week,
so he's probably just stopping
anybody he doesn't recognize.
Oh, word? Anybody?
Look, Officer Horton
is not a bad dude.
Even if he messed up,
you gotta make the smart move.
Just play the game
and you'll be straight.
I promise.
So, um...
when'd you get this?
That widebody
Scat Pack Super Bee?
That one, yeah.
And this is your last night
with her?
- Wait, so it's not yours?
- It's my favorite car
on the lot, man,
but somebody else got her,
and I can't be missing
that commission.
So he coming to get
her tomorrow. It's whatever.
Okay.
I know you ain't tripping.
You the...
...last n*gga
- to let go when you sprung.
- Don't do that.
Okay. Okay.
Who the one that took you out
when you couldn't stop crying
about Basic Brianna?
You also got me drunk
for the first time in my life.
On a school night, mind you.
Bro, how is it
y'all are friends?
Please tell me, 'cause I don't
see a lot of commonality
between this dude back here
and... ...a guy that
almost lost his scholarship
f*cking with a stripper
named Candy.
- Her name was Cara.
- Candy, Candy.
You lost your football
scholarship?
Nah, man. I just found
myself in a tough spot.
All right?
I gotta stay out of trouble
from here on out.
- Okay?
- Okay.
Oh, sh*t.
What you mean, "Oh, sh*t"?
You already knew though.
Oh.
Oh, sh*t.
What's this?
Ugh. Hell, no.
Hey, where are we?
Uh, I believe it's called
the as*h*le of nowhere.
"Creekview Hills."
I ain't never
even heard of this town.
Town? Bro,
where do you see a town?
Ah.
Yo, yo, yo, check this out.
Check this out.
"Farm Road 106"?
Swerve!
I don't know, man.
It can't be slower than this,
can it?
Okay. Okay. Here we go.
Right, I see
why you like her, man.
Yeah, 485 horses, fam.
Yeah.
Ooh.
Bro,
what the hell is this?
I told you,
I'm a classic man, bro.
Hey, you guys mind if I plug in?
He ain't doing that.
Hold on right quick.
You a hater.
Yeah!
Hey, this slap, though. Yeah.
- All right, left up here.
- Left up where?
Half a mile
through the residential.
Residential?
Bro, ain't nothing up there.
Oh.
The champagne has been popped.
And the p*ssy look good!
Oh, yeah.
Oh, okay, okay,
it says this is it.
Hold on, hold on.
Ah, sh*t.
Is that...
That's it.
Oh, f*ck.
Is there another way, maybe?
-Uh...
-Damn.
I don't know, bro. Man...
All right, well,
I guess we're calling it.
Yeah, bro, I gotta get back.
- Whoa, come on, fellas.
- I'm sorry...
This ain't what tonight's about.
I'm trying to bring the squad
together.
I'm not trying to let
the whole night fall apart
because of some static. Come on.
What do you want us to do?
All right, well, maybe I can
finesse this.
Ah, hell, no.
- Just relax. I got it.
- Uh-uh, bro.
Hi, there.
Hi.
Hey.
Hi. I was just wondering
if you could help us out,
by any chance?
See, we're here
visiting a friend,
but we don't have that code
to the gate. So...
I was wondering
if you could maybe let us in?
You must be out your damn mind
if you think this b*tch is...
You wanna go in there?
Uh...
Yeah.
Um...
Thank you.
What the f*ck?
All right, go.
Go, go, go, go.
Let's go, D!
Yes, sir!
That's how
you talk to people.
Oh, no, bro.
Nah, I don't know
about none of this, bro.
Okay, well, I know
that we just got let in
by a resident, so technically,
we can't be trespassing.
Whatever, bro.
We just need to figure out
how to get the f*ck up
out of here. Okay?
- Yeah.
- Uh, go left.
Hey, yo, T,
can I please plug in?
- It's like...
- D!
Look at this.
Who lives here?
-Wow.
-Bro, that's not the question.
The question is, how do we get
the f*ck up out of here?
Yo, they built these gates
because they don't want us
getting in.
They sure as hell won't have
no problem helping us get out.
All right?
Is that it up there?
Mmm, yeah, see, that should
lead us back to the freeway.
So, now what, counselor?
Well, I mean, it's supposed
to open automatically
when you pull up to it,
like fire code.
Well, it ain't opening,
so, now what?
Chill out. Just...
-ask someone for help.
-Eh.
-Oh, that's easy-peasy, huh?
-Well, yeah, if you have...
-All right.
-Yo, yo, yo!
Yo!
Hey!
Hey!
Hold up, b*tch.
I need your clicker.
What the hell was that?
That sh*t ain't work, huh?
I said talk to someone,
not f*cking verbally as*ault
them out the window.
All right, so go ahead,
you do it, then.
- Fine.
- Kev.
No, f*ck that.
Let me see you play the game.
Go ahead. Go ahead.
Watch this.
Excuse me.
Okay.
-How'd that work out for you?
-Well, they had the AirPods in.
I think they just saw
a brother in a hoodie.
Bro, not everyone is like that.
Oh, for real? Like the cop
in your neighborhood, right?
-Guys, can we focus?
-How about this?
If you're an as*h*le
to everyone,
they're going to treat you
like an as*h*le. Be better.
Oh, not "be better."
Who are you talking to, bro?
That's what I said.
I'm talking to you, in fact.
Guys. Yo, yo, yo, guys.
Look, look, look.
She'll remember us.
Yeah, depending on how much
of that Jack she drank.
Okay.
Hey.
What?
Yo. Yo, yo.
You hear that?
Get in your car.
You need to get out of my house.
I'm not going anywhere.
Oh, no, f*ck this.
You want to try the neighbors?
Don't ever come here again!
I might as well
make myself at home.
- Put it down. Put it down.
- Yeah, you like this?
Put that down.
Oh.
-sh*t.
-No, no.
-We gotta get the f*ck...
-Should we help her?
Man, hell, no.
I think she doing just fine.
f*ck.
Bro.
Bro, we gotta get the f*ck up
out of here, bro, now.
Is... is... Is she...
- sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!
- Go! Go, go!
- Get to the car!
- No, no, just go!
- Go!
- Just run!
Go, go, go!
- No, this way, this way!
- Come on, come on!
- Come on.
- Bro!
sh*t, sh*t!
sh*t!
Just go! Go, go!
Let's go, let's go.
Oh, sh*t.
Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t.
sh*t.
Come on.
He f*cking k*lled her.
He f*cking k*lled her.
I told you! I told you this!
I'm calling the cops.
No. No, no, no, no. sh*t!
sh*t. Okay, good.
Now tell the operator...
There's no f*cking operator.
I'm calling the homies, man.
The homies?
What are the homies gonna do?
They're gonna bust us
out of here!
We're stuck
in a gated community!
The authorities are a much
smarter call!
Hey, hey. Kid.
What are y'all doing in my yard?
- Listen...
- You gotta go.
I just need your help.
- Hello, sir. Um...
- I told them.
-They won't listen.
-I heard, son.
-Hey, hey, hey!
-Whoa, whoa, whoa.
-Just, please call the police.
-Come on.
- What's that in his hand?
- Drop it!
-It's a phone!
-It's a phone, it's a phone!
There, there.
This is so f*cked.
That's the first real sh*t
you've said all night.
Hey, Tyon, bro, bro,
please, just...
just call the cops, please.
What? Tyon, no.
Call Boogie and them, bro.
Boogie? Who the f*ck is Boogie?
- We should get the cops...
- No, yo...
I ain't calling nobody.
I left my phone in the car.
It was... That kid, just... Ah!
-f*ck that kid!
-So what? We just keep
trying and sh*t?
Hoping somebody believe us,
hoping they don't
-f*cking call 5-0?
-Shh, man!
Don't tell me
to f*cking shush, man.
Listen, we need to talk
to the cops,
and we need to talk
to them first.
That is our move.
That is our only move.
Real talk, bro?
I didn't check with my manager
before I took the car
off the lot.
That is on you. All right?
I'm not risking my life out here
so that you don't get fired.
Fired? You think
that's all that's gonna happen?
I'm gonna get f*cking fired?
If you're guilty of one thing,
you're guilty of everything.
You don't f*cking get that,
-do you? You know what?
-No, Kev.
You think you've been
f*cking grinding, right?
-Hey.
-Guys like you think
that means reading,
like, eight f*cking books.
You don't know sh*t!
No, f*ck that...
You know what, Ty?
I tried, bro, but I can't.
He's still the same wack-a*s
dude from high school.
Staring out a f*cking window,
but ain't never touched
no grass.
I just need you
to calm down, bro.
I'm calm, bro!
I'm just trying to figure out
how this bougie-a*s dude can't
buy no f*cking common sense.
Jacob?
Sandy.
How are you?
Everything okay?
Oh, I'm fine. I've just, uh...
got a few things on my mind,
that's all.
And here I am bothering you
when you're trying to steal
a moment for yourself.
I am so sorry.
No, not at all. Not at all.
I never mind
chatting with a neighbor.
That's the point of all this.
What's troubling you, Sandy?
Well, Sarah called a minute ago,
and she said there were
these guys running around.
They were...
not from the neighborhood.
I'm sure they won't bother you,
but just be safe.
Thank you for telling me.
Did she say which way
they might have gone?
Said they, uh, went back
towards the main road.
I'll check it out. Thank you.
- You might have just
saved my life.
-Good night, Jacob.
-Good night.
Have a blessed evening.
Hey, real smart, Kev.
-m*therf*cker, I swear...
-Oh, come on, man.
Come on out now.
I got cameras on you.
Oh, f*ck.
Ah.
You must be the guys
I've been hearing about.
Look, the police
have been called.
That's... That's great,
actually. Thank you.
What are you doing here
in my garage?
Oh, sh*t!
Is this an A12?
It is.
'69 and a half.
I've never seen
one of these in person.
Wow.
Now I'm gonna ask you again.
-What is your business here?
-None...
sir. We were
just passing through
and we saw something.
A woman was k*lled.
Okay? And we've been trying
to call the police,
but nobody will help us.
You're saying
a woman has been k*lled?
Yes. A man k*lled her,
and now he is after us,
and if you could
maybe let us inside,
we would happily
talk to law enforcement
the second they arrive.
Well, if what you're saying
is true,
then I'd be willing
to let you wait inside.
But you gotta know that...
...that I've got this
right here.
If that's all right with you.
Yes.
Yes, it is.
Everybody up here
be having g*ns.
Yeah, this is Texas, son.
You play?
Two years for Houston,
one year for Philly.
But I don't tell the neighbors
about that.
- Offense?
- Ah, no.
Defense. Yeah.
Now I'm the head coach
at the high school.
Quarterback, Abilene.
Transferred over last year.
Abilene. That's a good program.
Yes, sir.
They brought me in
to run a new RPO system
before I... banged up my knee.
Ooh. It's ACL?
MCL. Uh...
But it's just a grade two.
Mmm.
Well, take it easy.
My name is Christopher.
-Tyon.
-Tyon.
-Derek.
-Derek.
Good to meet you. And you?
- Kevin.
- Kevin. Good to meet you.
You guys go ahead, sit down.
Police will be here shortly.
They don't take too much time
around here.
That's a surprise.
We have a dedicated officer.
Like a security guard?
The community
has its own subdivision.
They have their own cops.
You know what?
Can I actually get one of those?
What?
So...
tell me exactly...
exactly what happened.
Well, we were on our way
up to Texas Northern,
trying to take a shortcut,
and we got locked in here.
So, we went to knock on the door
to ask someone to open the gate,
but when we looked inside,
uh, this guy, he was fighting
with his wife and suddenly he...
Grabbed her and shoved her
and she hit her head, and...
You saw it?
You're sure?
Yes.
Well, that isn't
supposed to happen up here.
Which house was it?
Uh, well,
it was the big one.
By the back gate.
The one with the long driveway
that has trees on each side?
Yes, that one.
That...
is Jacob Andrews' house.
Pastor Jacob Andrews.
My pastor.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa.
-Hey, hey, hey.
Now I want you to tell me
the story again.
And this time,
tell me the truth.
-Hey, man,
he told you the truth...
-Sit down.
And I've known Jacob
for over a decade.
He's a good Christian man
and he's a community leader.
And for his wife,
well, she's down in Austin
for the rest of the week.
Sir, sir, I'm a Christian, too,
and I swear to God,
he's telling the truth.
- Oh.
- What are you doing?
- Christopher.
- Jacob.
You know those kids
that have been running
around the neighborhood?
I got them here.
No, you wouldn't believe
what they said.
I'm on my way over now.
Oh, well, good.
All right.
You're in luck.
He's one block over.
Oh, what the hell, bro?
Oh, oh, oh. Now, now, now, you
just don't do anything stupid.
Jacob believes in forgiveness.
And if you repent,
I think we can avoid
the police altogether.
-Sir, sir, if you...
-Oh, I like you, son.
And I'd like to see you
back on the field,
but you make one false move,
I'm gonna sh**t you dead.
-Wait, wait, sir, sir. Okay.
-One wrong move...
- Wait, just wait...
- Waiting
is exactly what we're doing.
Go, go, go, go, go!
- Go, go, go!
- Go this way!
Open the door!
- Hell, no!
- sh*t!
sh*t!
- Stop!
- Go back! Back, back!
- Go, go!
- f*ck! f*ck!
This way, this way,
this way!
Come on, come on, come on!
Go, go, go.
Oh, f*ck that!
Go, go, go!
f*ck me!
Come here, girl.
-Evening.
-Yeah, Jacob.
Come on in.
Where are they?
Well...
you just missed 'em.
It's all right.
Ready? Let's go. Come on.
Come on.
Hey, Ty. All right, Ty.
All right. Easy, easy, easy.
Is it bad?
I don't know.
sh*t.
- Are we out?
- Nope.
We're still in here.
So they tried
to lie their way out of it,
and then when that didn't work,
they assaulted you
in your own home.
I'm fine.
Maggie didn't come back
from Austin, did she?
No.
Mmm.
There's no truth at all
in what they said?
Even if they thought
they saw something,
-they didn't...
-No.
-There's no...
-Maggie's not back.
How many of these have you had?
I know. It numbs the pain.
And Lord knows, brother,
you've had more than
your fair share.
But we need to
keep our minds clear.
Don't forget
why we built these gates
and why we need them.
We're building something
special in here.
But out there is an enemy
that would seek to destroy us.
That there is.
Do not underestimate them.
- These boys
have breached our gates.
Who knows what they've done
or what they might do next.
I need to know
that if I call on you
to defend what we hold most
sacred, that you'll answer.
I'll make some coffee.
Bobby will be here shortly.
I didn't even know
she had a boyfriend.
Next thing I know,
I'm jumping out of her window,
feeling it pop.
-It's a hell of a way
to get hurt.
-Wait.
The stripper?
You hurt your knee
hooking up with that stripper?
It was just a sprain.
But now...
Yo.
Check this out.
That's it.
-That is our way out of here.
-No, man.
You ain't learned sh*t yet,
have you?
That is a public place...
Bro, these people don't give
a f*ck about us.
We just had everything
in common with that guy.
Cars, football.
Privilege.
When that sh*t got real,
who did he trust, man?
Well, he trusted his friends.
Are we friends?
Cool. I didn't think so.
f*cking crazy.
-Man, where are you going?
-Away from that.
Y'all coming or not?
Nah, man, not with you.
- Come on, Ty,
let's get out of here.
D, D, no.
We tried your way, man.
Look at the sh*t we in.
The cops come now,
and Coach finds out
I had a setback doing this...
Bro, I cannot lose
my scholarship.
-I can't. I can't.
-Tyon.
You have to listen to me. Okay?
We have to get to the police
before that guy does,
and tell the truth.
If he gets to them before we do
and sets the narrative,
we are f*cked.
You know...
I don't know
if it's occurred to you
that we actually would not have
been in this sh*t if you had
your head on straight.
-What you talking about?
-I'm talking about
you brought us out here
because you were chasing a*s.
And that is after you got
yourself hurt chasing a*s.
Yo, what is it you call
my sister again?
You call her a wife?
Like what, that's something
that you deserve?
Until you get
your sh*t together,
nobody worth a damn
is gonna waste their time
on someone like you.
Including me.
- Pastor Andrews?
- Bobby.
Does this have to do
with the disturbances
I heard about?
Yeah, it's some...
kids casing the neighborhood.
Sounds like, uh...
inner-city kids.
They still here?
No, Christopher
had some words with them,
must have scared 'em off.
Why don't you come on in?
It's a bit
of a delicate situation.
I think it's best
if we're on the same page
about how to handle it.
- Shouldn't have left him.
- Man, he left us.
Really, though, bro,
how you still trying
to be tight with that dude?
Look, man, you ain't
know this about me, but...
I used to be real shy.
Like...
...I was a weird,
awkward kid, man.
I ain't know
how to talk to nobody.
But, D,
he saw me
first day of seventh grade,
and he, like...
got me.
He's just book smart.
He probably was just
analyzing you and sh*t.
I ordered champagne.
-Uh, I don't...
-This is Prosecco.
Honey. Honey, do you want
another bourbon?
Grab him one while you're at it.
Same way you lifted
me up first year at JC,
when I was tripping about
not getting into that program,
he did that same thing for me
way back.
Without both of y'all,
I would not be here.
I just wish y'all could see
what I see.
Yeah, I see what I always seen.
A dude that think
his sh*t don't stink.
And that's why
I never f*cked with him.
Hey, I think the kid at table 15
spit up his fries.
-Can you wipe it down for me?
-No, I don't work here.
Can I please use your phone?
If you're not a member,
I'm gonna have to ask you
to leave.
-Listen, this is an emergency...
-Sir.
Please leave.
Bro, I am not leaving D
in here.
We're hoping somebody else
come through the gate.
If not, bro, we're climbing it.
Climbing? Dawg,
the wall is 15 feet high.
I can barely walk.
You're trying to leave me
in here, too?
You think I'm gonna
leave my car here?
Bro, we're just trying to get
somebody to open the gate.
After that, we're coming back
with the squad.
You guys lost?
Uh...
How could you tell?
Do you live here?
- Why do you ask?
- We just...
really want the gate open
so we can leave.
Sounds like a plan.
I'll make you guys a deal.
I'll help you get out of here,
as long as you give me
an excuse to bail, too. Yeah?
Uh, yeah, absolutely.
- You guys coming?
- Come on.
I'll work this.
You find a phone.
Did you see
which way they went?
Here you are.
Did you take that out
when they were here?
Maybe.
Well, they were saying
all kinds of things.
I wasn't gonna use it.
You shouldn't.
You shouldn't have to. I mean...
those boys are confused.
Right? We know
where they come from,
what kind of education
they've had,
what kind of environment
they've grown up in.
I mean, it's everything we built
this place to keep out.
The Lord says, "When your enemy
is hungry, give him food.
"When he is thirsty,
give him water."
- Proverbs 25.
- That's right.
Now, that sounds nice when
you say it on a Sunday morning.
But what do we do with the Word
of God in the dead of night?
Mmm? When you find those boys,
I'd like you
to bring them to me,
see if we can resolve this
the Christian way.
It's just protocol, is all.
I mean, there's trespassing,
-as*ault...
-It's up to you.
Now...
...search your heart and...
may God speak to you
as he's spoken to me.
Hey, Roxy, hold up.
Um...
-Who are these guys?
-Oh, chill, Preston.
They're my friends. Okay?
Ah. Okay. Cool.
Yeah, we were
just heading out, so.
What? Come on,
you just got here.
Well, I've actually been here
for over an hour.
- But that's not really any...
- Look, just...
one more drink.
I'm not trying to have you
leave before we can kick it.
- Mmm.
- Uh, here, guys.
Cheers?
Come on, it's good. Trust me.
You swear on your life
that you'll let us out
after this drink?
I swear. I swear so hard.
This big-a*s crib
gotta have a house phone.
One of these rooms
gotta have one.
Damn!
Oh!
sh*t, my bad.
So, you're not into this dude,
not into this party.
Why are you here?
His dad is, like, this
big country music producer,
and there's
a recording studio upstairs.
And Preston knows
I'm trying to be a singer.
So he told you to come through
so you can record,
come to find out he's just
trying to get you drunk
so he can smash?
What's up, bro?
Uh... I was just trying to
find somewhere to piss, man.
Bro. Get your a*s out here.
Yeah, I think I got lost, bro.
No, no, no, no. Come on.
After you.
Hey, ma'am.
Is there any way I could use
your phone?
I just need
to make a quick call.
You said they left on foot?
Yeah. So we know they're close,
but they could be anywhere.
Oh, you... you don't have to...
Boy, get inside.
Okay.
-Thank you.
-Mm-hmm.
You cannot be out there
running around
looking like this.
Um... I did not
necessarily expect
to be out tonight.
-Wait here.
-No. No, it's okay. I... I...
Okay.
-All right, so what's up, man?
-Yo, so check this out.
We're about to lay down a track,
and I seen you out there,
and I was like,
"This dude keeps it trill."
You feel me?
What?
He's saying he wants
you to spit a verse
on our next track.
Sp...
Oh, sh*t.
Look, man, I don't know
if I can do that, bro.
I'm just looking for a phone
to call my boy.
Why y'all want me
to do this anyway?
Bro, we're from the 'burbs.
Ain't nobody gonna
take this sh*t seriously
unless we get a dude
from the street. You feel me?
Look, if you do this,
you can have my phone,
call whoever you want. No cap.
People up here
have a certain standard
and expectation.
There.
I just need to make
a phone call.
-What's the rush?
-Well...
there's this pastor...
Jacob?
Jacob Andrews?
You know him?
Of course. Don't you?
Here.
- Sorry, who is that?
- That's his wife.
His wife?
Maggie Andrews.
She is running for
state representative.
At first, people thought
it was his idea,
but now, it seems like
she might win.
And to think that it all came
from such humble beginnings.
Jacob started with
a small congregation,
and then, right away, he just
started building and building.
And then
word spread around
that he was starting
a city on a hill,
like it says in the Bible,
and, well,
everyone wanted to get involved.
What do you got, girl?
What is it?
My God.
He k*lled a woman.
-Excuse me?
-I saw it.
Okay? And I need your help,
because nobody else will listen
to me.
No one else?
You've told others?
I tried.
I need to use your phone.
-You need to get out of here.
-No, I need to call the police.
Ten years ago,
there was nothing up here. Okay?
Now, the smallest house
on my street
is worth more than
both of my parents
ever made in their lives.
And that's because of Jacob.
He's built all of this.
And he was able to do that
because people believe in him,
and they will keep believing.
But you believe me.
- Creekview Hills Police.
- Yes.
This is Kendra Williams
at 1-8-4-2-0.
There's a young man here
I think you should speak to.
African American male?
Early 20s?
Yes, that's him.
Are you in danger?
Yes.
The deputy
is on his way.
Thank you.
You can wait outside.
Dispatch to 315.
Go ahead, Dispatch.
Suspicious
African-American male
reported at 1-8-4-2-0. Over.
Copy that, Dispatch.
I'm 10-8 now.
I don't... I don't know, man.
That's...
That's not really
working for me neither.
Bro, I don't know
who told you I could rap.
I... I just figured.
All right, man, I gotta roll.
No doubt, but...
after we get this track.
-Let's bounce.
-He said that...
f*ck what he said. Let's bounce.
I just...
I guess I'm just trying
not to piss him off.
It'd be dope
to get in that studio.
Yeah, you're right.
Roxy, what are you
doing in here?
Preston's starting your session.
My... my studio session?
Go k*ll it.
So, how do you know Roxy?
We're old friends.
No sh*t.
You're from Richardson, too?
Yep.
That's so funny, 'cause, um,
she told me she's from McKinney.
You know what, bro?
I'm done talking to you.
That's okay.
But, hey, why don't you find
that little guy,
you know, the one
you're actually friends with,
and get the f*ck outta here.
Yeah.
I think I'll do that.
All right, give me something...
Give me something like old
school then.
K-dawg!
-K-dawg!
-Hey, that was fire!
- Hey, it's f*cking boss.
- f*cking dope.
I told you.
Dude! Dude.
-I knew that'd hit.
-So, all right, look, look.
So can I get the phone now
to call my boy?
Yes. Yes. Uh... After...
after that,
you can call China, bro.
Damn.
Bro, I didn't think
you was gonna step up.
What you mean?
I don't know, I just thought
you was gonna try to play me.
Bro.
I live for this music sh*t.
Right? The dopest rhyme
doesn't mean anything
if I'm a trifling-a*s
m*therf*cker.
You had my back, I got yours.
-Damn, appreciate it, man.
-Yes, sir.
Yo, Kev.
Bro, I got the phone.
I'm finna call the crew.
Okay, this is the studio.
Where's Roxy?
Where's who?
Roxy, bro.
The one that got us in?
Oh. I thought she was with you.
Oh, sh*t!
Hey, keep your hands
where I can see them.
Yes, sir.
What are you doing out here?
-Waiting for you.
-Waiting for me?
I got a call
about criminal activity.
-Is that about you?
-No, sir.
I think there's been
some kind of misunderstanding.
I'm a witness.
A witness?
To what?
A homicide.
Why don't you hop in?
Just... Let's talk about this
somewhere more private.
Yes, sir.
Yo, Roxy.
What's wrong with you?
-Yo, what the hell, man?
-Get the f*ck off me!
What the hell
are you doing?
Nothing, man, all right?
Just mind your business.
He said he was taking me
to the studio.
I said I was taking you
for a session.
You f*cking as*h*le.
I'm just trying to save you
from this simp.
We're trying to leave, bro.
All right.
Gate code's 2-5-0-4.
That's what you wanted, right?
Look, man,
don't be such a c*ck.
Bros before hoes, am I right?
You got what you wanted,
so go.
Don't leave me.
- Roxy, chill.
- Stop.
-sh*t.
-You guys are so f*cked.
Guys, he hit me.
Damn!
Oh.
Bro, you good?
I just realized I don't know
nobody's number by heart.
-Yo, Kev, let's go.
-We got the gate code.
sh*t. Thanks. All right, man.
-Thank you, bro.
-Y'all keep it real.
-How you get the code?
-Man, don't ask.
I don't give a f*ck as long
as we're getting out of here.
-Let's go, let's go.
-Yeah.
We were trying to
get out of the gates,
but we needed help.
Uh, so we went up
to this house...
Slow down.
What are you doing
here in the first place?
We got turned around
and we were trying to
take a shortcut,
-but...
-A shortcut through
this neighborhood?
Yeah, there was a backup
on the highway.
Anyway, we went up
to the house...
-Who's we?
-My friends and I.
Well, where did y'all come from?
Highland Park, but...
Yeah. Yeah. Highland Park.
That's a good one.
Okay, this is me.
You guys need a ride?
Oh, sh*t.
D.
I'm sorry, how is
my neighborhood relevant here?
Okay, listen, it's just I have
been getting calls all night
about three Black males sneaking
around the neighborhood,
looking into people's windows...
No, we were asking for help.
Hey, hey, wait.
Bro, he got
what he wanted, right?
He wanted the law,
he got the law.
He with his people now, bro.
He's going to the station.
- We gotta get up out of here.
- Uh...
There's no station over there.
I just find it mighty curious
that you and your...
your homies, that y'all would
come up here
from one of the fanciest parts
in town
just to peep
into people's windows,
like a bunch of th*gs.
No, th*gs? What are you...
Hey, hey, where are you
taking me right now?
There's just nothing up there.
Everything else
is back that way.
Well, he's not taking him
to the station.
Pastor Andrews
is giving you
the opportunity
to talk this over
before he decides
whether to press charges.
What? What are you
talking about?
You have been given
a second chance.
Those don't come around
all the time.
You're taking me to his house
right now?
You have been accused
of a crime.
What crime?
-What are you talking about?
-You can fight me on this,
or you can cooperate.
I suggest you make
the smart decision.
We gotta stay.
You sure?
Fine. Fine.
I... I...
I will cooperate, but...
under... under one condition.
Yeah, we got a car,
we got the code.
We'll be straight.
Bros before hoes?
f*ck that dude.
Come on.
Come on.
This way.
- Evening.
- Evening.
Derek, this is Jacob Andrews,
pastor of
the Creekview Hills Church.
Pastor, this is Derek.
Good work, Bobby.
Uh... You should
maybe just let us talk?
These conversations tend
to work better in private.
Uh... I... I get that.
But at the same time,
the fact is he's accused you
of a crime,
and I'm obligated
to investigate.
A crime?
Yeah, I...
Look, just... If I don't do
a quick sweep of the house now
and we do bring charges
against him,
he'll have a defense.
You've agreed to cooperate
if I conduct a search, right?
Yes, sir. That's right.
Come on in, search all you want.
sh*t! f*ck, man!
She was right here.
No, no, he...
They were arguing,
and he pushed her
and she hit her head
right there.
Okay, well, you said that
-she was breaking things.
-Yes! Yes.
-She was breaking things...
-Well, what...
What did she break?
He must have cleaned it up.
Listen, you have to...
you have to search the house.
It's just protocol.
Ty.
Bro, dude's inside,
cop's inside.
We know they ain't watching us.
You still trying
to roll out, huh?
Trying to save your own a*s?
Bro, what other move do we got?
If he come out
of that house in cuffs,
that's the best-case scenario.
Either we stay here
and we go down with him
or we get the f*ck up out of
here and give ourselves a shot.
Bro...
You've seen what happens to guys
like us in a place like this.
If your mans
was out here right now,
he'd say, "Make the smart move."
What's the smart move?
- Okay, come on.
- I really love
what you've done
with this place.
Look anywhere you want,
nowhere is off limits.
Take your time.
It'll give us a chance
to get to know each other.
This yours?
I found it on my lawn.
Derek.
From Highland Park.
Wait, wait, wait.
Smart move, huh?
What? We got the code,
we got the whip.
We ain't got
no other moves, bro.
We got my phone.
What the f*ck?
I know I left that sh*t...
Have a seat, Derek.
I think you and I both know
he's not gonna find anything.
What do you want to do
with your life?
I'm gonna study law.
Really?
Why?
I want to help people.
And you think being a lawyer
is the best way to do that?
I think it would help me
right now.
You mind if I play lawyer
for just a second?
Can you...
testify that you heard
any of what was said
through that window?
I saw you.
-You saw me?
-I saw you.
Did you see what she was
reaching for in that cabinet?
The truth,
I can guarantee you...
is much more complicated
than what you think
you saw through that window.
Now, less complicated,
is how an arrest
and a false accusation
are going to look
on your law school application.
I'd like to show you something.
Oh, sh*t!
This is the new church.
When it's done,
it'll seat 10,000.
That's 10,000 souls per service,
gathered together in worship,
and love,
in reverence of the possibility
that by binding together
against the forces of evil,
we might be the tide
that lifts all boats
and washes away
the sins of the individual.
I get goosebumps
just thinking about it.
You know,
my wife is in politics.
And every day, she rubs elbows
with the most powerful people
in the state.
Nay, the country.
And most of them are lost,
because they've forgotten
what it means
to live in community.
We need to remember who we are,
who our hearts want us to be,
and the way we do that is
by putting God back
in the center of our lives,
by building a town
around the church.
As the town grows,
we could use a good lawyer.
What do you think about that?
Now you know
what's at stake.
Listen, I've got
no illusions about myself.
I mean, I...
God's created, I don't know
how many trillions of people
since the dawn of time,
and to my knowledge,
only one of them was perfect,
and that sure as hell wasn't me.
But by His grace, I have been
given an opportunity
to lead this community.
This is my truth.
This is my purpose.
And I've sworn to Him
that I will let nothing
stand in my way.
Do you understand me?
Pastor Andrews?
We're in here, Bobby.
I'm... I'm sorry, Pastor.
I just... I'm really sorry
for invading your home.
Oh, Bobby, not at all.
Happy to see my tax dollars
at work.
Plus, I believe this young man
has begun to see the light.
You can go on ahead,
find the others.
You can leave him with me. I...
I don't feel he's a threat.
I want you to take me in.
Come again?
I was trespassing.
That's against the law.
I want my due process.
You want to go to jail?
He's trying to protect
his friends.
Go out, find the others.
No sense in getting one
confession when you can get
three, right?
Be careful out there.
Christopher?
I found this cross
in my backyard.
The kid's name
is engraved on it.
The name he gave me.
His real name.
I just wondered
why he would tell me the truth
if he had anything to hide.
I'll take care of this.
Don't let him out of your sight.
I don't know, Christopher.
He probably told you
his real name
so that you'd believe the rest
of what he was saying.
Yeah, well, maybe
he's telling me the truth.
How much more have you had
to drink tonight?
I told you
I needed you sharp.
I coach kids like this.
Listen, I appreciate you,
thank you for your help.
Bobby and I have this
about wrapped up.
All right?
Whose car is that?
How should I know?
Well, it's parked
- in front of your house.
- That's it!
That's her car!
A friend of yours, Pastor?
No.
Looks like a resident, though.
What I'm more concerned about
is whose car is that?
-sh*t!
-No, no, wait! Kev, come on.
No, no, wait.
No, Kev, stop!
-In the car! Now! Now!
-Hey, hey.
Jacob.
What's going on?
Christopher, I've interrupted
your night enough.
Go home.
-No, he had them!
-No, bro, they had him!
Man, it's him! I'm telling you
the f*cking truth!
Whoa, Kev, watch out!
Wait, stop, stop,
stop, stop!
Ah, sh*t!
sh*t!
Bro!
f*ck!
I... I can...
I can make it through
this sh*t on foot, bro.
You'll be straight if you just
stay here
-and wait on the homies.
-Nah, man, nah.
You've been trying to save
your own a*s all night.
You do you, but don't act like
you give a f*ck about me
or nobody else.
Get out of the car
and show me your hands!
Step into the light.
-What did we do?
-Shut up!
-We didn't do nothing.
-Shut up!
Hands on the car!
Hands on the car!
Hey, hey,
why are you searching them?
Shut up!
No! What law did they break?
I said, shut the hell up!
You guys want to tell me what
the hell you're doing out here?
Man, nothing, man.
We're just trying to figure out
how to get home. That's it.
Y'all sure took the long way
to get there.
Sir, sir, sir, that's him!
- That's him! He k*lled her!
- Stop!
- That's him!
- I have had enough of this!
He's not lying, man! That's him!
-I have had enough!
-We're all telling
the same story.
Why would we lie?
You know, Bobby,
they sure tore out of there
in quite a hurry.
Why don't you check the car?
Yeah, check the car. Check it.
You just consented to a search.
Yo... Get...
Get down on the ground!
- What?
- Do it now!
- What?
- Now!
- 315 to Dispatch.
- Go ahead, 315.
Code 8.
I've got a possible 214.
Adult female,
unable to locate a pulse.
- Sir, please!
- The suspect...
Get on the gr...
I said get on the ground
and stay there!
Okay. The suspects...
The suspects, they...
No, cancel that!
Cancel that, okay?
Okay. We've got a 123,
but she's unresponsive.
Requesting backup
and urgent medical
on North Farm Road 106!
Roger that, 315.
Stand by and await attendance
from local units.
Okay, 10-4.
You two, sit tight.
If you move an inch,
I will make sure
that you never move again.
Bobby, what's a 123?
I found a pulse.
She's still alive.
She's alive. She's...
Damn.
Officer!
Will you shut
your damn mouth?
I'm trying to save your life!
Are you threatening me?
No, I am not the threat! He is!
Listen, okay? I... I'm gonna
tell you this one more time.
You say one more word,
I will drag you out
in the dirt with your friends!
If she is alive, she will tell
the truth about what happened.
Okay? He needs her dead,
and you are the only one
standing in his way!
No. No, to hell with it, okay?
-I have given you more than...
-What are you doing?
-No! No, no, no, no!
-...more than enough!
- Hey, hey!
- No!
It's all just such a shame.
- f*ck!
- f*ck!
You know I meant
everything I said at the house.
Nothing can stand in my way,
and if you'd just seen that,
we could have both
come out of this.
Is that what she was doing?
Was just standing in your way?
They're gonna find her car
and your g*n,
and then are gonna
trace it back to you,
you son of a b*tch!
Son, I'm not stupid,
and you're way
out of your league.
Come on, man,
-you're a pastor.
-That's right.
- A man of God.
- I am a man of God.
I am the leader
of this community
and its shepherd,
and I will not abandon my flock.
For wide are the gates
and broad is the way
that leads to destruction,
and many may enter through it.
But small are the gates
and narrow the path
that leads to life and...
few will find it.
You.
I thought
there'd be hope for you.
But now I know you just
weren't meant to find it.
"But beware
"of false prophets."
Christopher.
"They come
to you in sheep's clothing.
"But inside, they're wolves."
Matthew 7:15.
Thank God you're here.
They shot Bobby.
I managed to get their g*n.
That is a f*cking lie!
He shot him!
There are two more
of them. Help me.
Who's that woman?
Is that Elizabeth Carson?
From the church?
It is.
They must have taken her.
Taken her?
From her home
in Prosper?
And brought her
all the way here?
That was her car, wasn't it?
Are you
starting to doubt me?
He gave me his real name.
I ain't have nothing to hide.
Look at her.
He bashed her head in.
That is enough lies out of you!
Hey! Drop it!
You are pointing your g*n
at the wrong guy.
Let's talk about this.
Drop your g*n.
Son,
we cannot talk
until you put your g*n down.
That's fine.
We don't need to talk.
The deputy
called for reinforcements.
They should be here any minute.
Christopher, take him out.
I don't need to sh**t a man
that doesn't need to be shot.
The police are coming
and we're gonna wait,
and that's final.
Is there something
you want to say to me, Jacob?
Maggie's been down in Austin
more and more.
And something happened
with Elizabeth.
If word got out on that,
you'd lose everything.
What do you want me to say,
Christopher?
The truth.
You ever have a woman decide
she wants to ruin your life?
No, I never gave one
a reason to.
Son,
just put your g*n down.
We're gonna wait
for the police to sort this out.
All right?
Christopher...
I'm sorry I've let you down.
No!
Amen, m*therf*cker!
Bro.
Hey.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I thought I'd save y'all a*s
for a change.
Hey.
Man, we gotta go.
Yeah.
Okay.
Derek, where are you?
I'm sorry.
- Hmm?
- This is on me.
All of it.
I...
felt my best friend slipping
away, and I just...
I wanted to have
a great night...
feel tight again,
like it used to be.
Maybe we both
got a lot of sh*t
we gotta work on, but...
no matter what,
you'll always be my boy.
Are y'all gonna f*ck?
Hey, Derek.
Julissa told me
what happened, but...
I'm still required
to call the police.
I know.
I have to get home to my mom.
Ty.
No.
I got this.
- You sure, man?
- Yeah.
Police should be here soon.
You just get the car
back to the lot.
Keep your job.
Yo.
Thanks.
No.
Man, your... your scholarship.
Yes, man.
My best friend.
Derek, thank God.
Mom, I am so sorry,
but I promise you
I can explain everything.
Derek.
There he is.
Hello, Derek.
Come join us.
Where is she?
Why are you doing this?
It's over.
-Hey.
-There's no need to...
Where is she?
What do you want with us?
Y'all know your Scripture?
Oh, you're so full of sh*t.
I'm named after Jacob.
Founder of the Twelve Tribes
of Israel.
But Jacob was born
the younger brother to Esau,
who, being the first born,
was entitled to the birthright
and all the blessings
that came along with it.
You know why you've never
met anyone named Esau?
Because Jacob
stole that birthright.
He conspired to
deceive his blind father
and he took what was his,
because he was not called upon
to simply let
God's will be done.
He was called upon
to seize his destiny.
That church...
is my destiny.
-I'm here for my birthright.
-Just tell him, D.
I'm not gonna do that.
He will k*ll us.
Son, that is not
what I want to do.
It's time for you
to get realistic about
what's gonna happen
when you go to the cops
with a different story than me.
You think they're gonna take
your word for it over mine? Hmm?
No.
You're gonna be a suspect
in a criminal m*rder trial.
You wanna be a lawyer?
You ready to trust your destiny
in the hands of the criminal
justice system?
Or you tell me where she is,
and we can all just walk away
from this.
So, what,
you want me to trust you?
I've seen what happens
when people trust you.
No.
You've seen what happens
when people get in my way.
You're gonna get in my way?
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
Leave them out of this!
I will take you to her.
I will take you to her
right now.
- Derek, no!
It's not
a negotiation, son.
You will tell me
where she is right now!
Last chance.
No.
-Fine.
-No! Don't!
Please.
This isn't over.
Ty... Tyon, Tyon.
Hands where I can see them.
Officer...
...this is a misunderstanding.
I need your help.
I'm a pastor.
Nah.
That's him.
Officer, listen to me.
Be very careful.
That guy and his friends
k*lled two people.
They've kidnapped a woman
- and we need to find her...
- Turn around.
Put your hands behind your head.
He tried to run me over
with a car.
-Look at me.
-I said, put your hands
behind your head.
You're gonna
believe him over me?
Put your hands
behind your head.
Are you a man of God?
Do it. Now.
You are.
I can see it in you.
And a man of God...
does not sh**t a pastor
in the back.
- Don't move!
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Get down on the ground!
g*n!
God!
Call it in.
What time the dealership open?
Don't even matter, man.
I feel like if you're slick,
you could p...
sh*t.
Well,
after we sue the sh*t
out of Creekview,
you won't even need that job.
You can get any car you want.
Where you get that shirt from?
Coming through.
Hey.
Hey, how's it looking?
No bones,
no major arteries.
He's lucky.
All right.
Well, good. Look, nothing vital.
It's my leg, man.
-Everything's vital.
-Hey, look at me.
It's okay.
Yeah, this sh*t sucks,
but if anyone's gonna come back
better than they were before,
man, that's you.
Then it's just
part of the legend.
Big picture sh*t?
Big picture sh*t.
Can Julissa be my nurse?
Oh, boy.
Yeah, I got you, Ty.
Heard she's the best nurse
in the ward.
Smart move, right?
Smart move.
Hey, Derek?
These detectives would like
to have a word with you.
I think I'll call
my lawyer first, Officer.
