How long were you in prison for?

[scoffs]

Too long, man!

I really wanna know, all right.

Three years, man.

Three years?

- Whoo! Damn!

- Three years.

[camera clicks]

Oh, yeah, sorry about

the detective, man...

Hey, drop it. That ain't really

up for discussion, man.

That's your brother Jos's wife?

- Uh-huh.

- Ah, OK.

- Nice to meet you. Naldo.

[speaking Spanish]

She's gone already.

Hey, yo, my nigga,

I'm gonna walk her

down to the train station

real quick.

I'm gonna holla at you.

Meet me back in the club,

[chuckles]

[speaking Spanish]

Mm-hmm.

Uh-huh?

Isabel, and I bet you could

learn to speak English, too.

[sirens blaring]

[woman] Scotty!

Scotty!

[indistinct chatter]

[sobbing]

Is he still here?

I want to see him.

Janine, no.

What happened?

Nobody's telling me anything.

What happened to Joey, Scotty?

- What happened to my husband?

- We don't know.

We want you

to be with the kids, OK?

Hug them,

tell them it's gonna be OK.

We'll get someone

to drive you back, OK?

Marisol?

Close the door.

Charlene wants you to

come by this week... for dinner.

OK?

Sure.

Bring Anthony.

He's staying with my sister

for a little while.

Yeah? Well, when he gets back

we gotta get on the boat,

do some fishing.

Yeah.

Yeah... Charlene's

a little worried about you.

Tell her I'm fine.

Really?

- Yeah.

- Your partner was just killed.

You're not fine.

I wanna put you with Ramirez.

I don't want you working

on this case alone.

And frankly, I don't want you

working on this case at all,

but--

It's fine.

So, what do we know?

[exhales] Not f***ing much.

What, didn't you

talk to someone?

Yeah, Joey's informant,

Kendu Wallace.

[mumbling]

I don't know sh*t!

I don't know sh*t!

I'm telling you the truth!

Shh...

Don't scream, OK?

Just be honest.

You were Joey's snitch.

Who killed Joey?

Tell me the truth.

I don't know sh*t, man!

I'm telling you the truth!

I'm not f***ing lyin' to you!

I... I don't know nothing.

I don't know who killed Cullen.

[Scotty] You could say

we had a conversation.

He knew squat.

Well... why the hell

you talking to him then?

There was a crew over in Harlem

that Joey had his eyes on.

In Harlem?

What the f***

is Joey doing in Harlem?

He was suspended.

I don't know.

When we, uh... We found

his camera near his body.

How's his wife?

She's... not too good.

I'm taking her to the

coroner's office to ID the body.

That poor bastard!

[speaking Spanish]

Hey, I want to scream, too!

- No.

- What's up?

[speaking Spanish]

[laughing]

They killed him, Scotty!

They f***ing killed him!

I mean, who would do that?

They said that when

they found him, he still

had the knife in his back!

Who would do

such a thing to him?

They stabbed him

in the back and then they...

...they threw him away

like he was a piece of trash.

They butchered him.

[laughing]

Oh, come on, are you serious?

Yo, don't say that!

Stuff like that really

be happening. I'm serious!

[speaking Spanish]

I'm laughing at y'all.

Look at your faces

for believing this sh*t.

Shut up!

Here you go.

[speaking Spanish]

In the air?

[boy] He shouldn't

work with the devil.

[speaking Spanish]

Elisa?

[sirens blaring]

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct chatter]

[cell phone rings]

[stops ringing]

Sir...

Do you know where

I can find one of these?

[speaking Spanish]

That's a very beautiful horse.

Does she have a name?

[pop music plays]

[music fades]

- Hey.

- Hey, sweetie.

Listen, you're one of us.

- We're all here for you, OK?

- OK.

Anything you need,

just tell us, OK?

- OK.

- All right.

We're gonna find the cocksuckers

that did this, mark my words.

- OK.

- OK.

- Joey loved you.

- He loved you, too.

Hey, pal.

Hey.

How you doing?

First you lose your wife,

now your partner.

Hey, I'm gonna have a little

birthday party

for the twins in two weeks.

Bring your son.

He's in Florida.

Florida?

Why are you torturing

the poor kid?

[speaking Spanish]

Mm-hmm.

[giggles]

- [gasps]

- [both giggling]

Hmm?

[man] What's the charge?

[officer 1] Shut up.

[officer 2 speaks indistinct]

Do you think he knows

why he's here?

I think he knows

it's for murder.

I think he knows that much.

Why do you think

they call him Black?

I asked his pal, Kendu Wallace,

why they called him Black

but he didn't know.

Did he know anything else?

Well he knew Black

didn't like Joey.

He knew that.

Hmm...

He said Black hated him.

Can I ask y'all something?

Please do.

What did Kendu Wallace

ever do to you?

I don't care

about Kendu Wallace.

He means nothing to me.

Yeah?

Obviously.

[traffic]

[sirens blaring]

[speaking Spanish]

Say "good doggy."

[speaking Spanish]

[all cheering]

Tell him again.

- Aww...

- [laughing]

Who's a good boy?

Who's a good boy?

You're a good boy!

Yeah, you're a good boy.

Come on, come on, come on.

Come on, don't fight it.

Don't fight me...

Hey, look at me, don't fight it.

Come on, I'm almost done.

I'm almost done.

[indistinct chatter

on police radio]

[officer] Victims ID'd as Kendu

Wallace and Jennifer Richards.

[Jos] Where's my bro, Rocky?

Washing your dirty dog.

Hey, careful, that's my baby.

[Jos speaks indistinct]

[all laughing]

[speaking Spanish]

None of that

same stuff again, Eva.

I'm calling from Iraq and

you're still talking about--

Yo, yo, yo, yo!

Who's that causing ruckus

in my house, man?

What?! What?!

Who's calling from the

Middle East?

My brother!

[laughing]

So you're a free man now,

my nigga.

Yeah.

Wow. How it feel?

[groans] I ain't trying

to go back in. Know that.

[Jos] Hey, but listen to me,

you feel me?

You have to stand up

straight, you know?

You don't have

the same opportunities

like you used to have.

Do you hear me, Rocky?

Look at me, look at me

in the camera, over there.

No, your boy is done.

None of that bullshit.

[speaking Spanish]

[all laughing]

[Jos] You like that meat, boy?

[Naldo] So everything OK?
