- [Kevin] Hey Dad.
By the time you read
this, I'll be long gone.
Don't bother trying
to reach me because,
where I'm going, you
won't be able to.
I wish I coulda been a
better son, a stronger son,
someone that you and
Mom could be proud of.
I'm sorry she abandoned
us, but she had
to deal with what
happened in her own way.
Send her my love.
I can't bring myself
to send this to her.
Hope you two find
each other again.
See you on the other side.
Love, Kevin.
♪ Still remain
♪ You gave me strength
but not by name ♪
♪ I earned your love
the Lord he loves ♪
If you wondered who
I am, I'm Kevin.
Kevin Miller,
but none of that will
matter after today,
at least to you, anyway.
♪ My love for you
So why I am here?
What drove me to
this exact moment?
Well, to understand
that, I guess we'll
just start at the beginning,
before I even knew what
real pain felt like.
♪ Ooh, your love proceeds
♪ As my faith grows

- [Woman] Kids bullied
sometimes to death.
- [Man] A woman hired
to watch over children
on a school bus stands accused
of bullying and berating--
- [Woman] Bullied on the bus--
- [Man] Students pulled
out his hearing aids
and threw them off the bus.
- [Man] Bullies, bullies--
- [Woman] Bullied the bullying--
- [Woman] When bullying
orders an assault--
- [Woman] The three teens beat
up an autistic classmate--
- [Woman] While Snapchat
videos are short,
the pain they can cause
can last a lifetime.
- [Woman] In Florida,
two girls face
felony charges this morning.
They're accused of
bullying a classmate
to the point that
she killed herself.
- [Man] Disturbing video
of a locker room fight--
- [Woman] Some of the video
may be upsetting to watch.
- [Man] He was found
dead inside a bathroom.
- [Man] As [inaudible]
reports, his parents
say he was sending a message.
- [Woman] Officials in
Massachusetts believe
there's been another tragic
deadly case of cyber bulling.
A 15 year-old girl
committed suicide
and it appears that she
was being bullied online.
- [Man] The passage of time
has only made bullying worse.
Listen to this.
160,000 kids a day
miss school because
they're too afraid to go,
but it only takes one child
lost to destroy a family.
Until now, you've heard
mostly about the victims,
but tonight, we'll also hear
from the bullies themselves.
- [Kevin] You catch that?
Maybe you've heard it before.
Like I read a Tweet
that somewhere some kid
was getting bullied
and some kid died.
It goes on.
I'm one of those kids.
I am the poster child
for bully abuse.
[clicking]
[tense music]
Ever wonder why bullies pick
on the same kids all the time?
It's like we're magnets
for their punches,
pranks, humiliation.
[tense music]
- Or, he's being
bullied at school.
What, wait.
Oh, wait, wait, Michael.
Hold on!
Just hold on.
I mean, why is it
so hard to believe?
You...
It is more obvious
now than ever.
- [Michael On Phone]
Can't know that for sure.
He would have said
something to us by now.
- Why would he?
I mean, you put so
much pressure on him,
he don't even need
to come talk to us.
- [Michael On Phone]
He's 15 now, okay?
How's he supposed
to become a man
if we don't let him fight
his own battles once in a while?
- Michael, what do you
mean about becoming a man?
He is only 15, and
this is the second time
this year this happened to him.
- [Michael On Phone]
He's not a little kid, Jess.
We both agreed let's enroll
him into public school.
We both said he might
become more social.
- Oh really, what?
Having your face smashed
in is being more social?
Come on, Michael.
- [Michael On Phone]
[inaudible]
- Look, Michael.
You know, I don't have time
for your ridiculous man rules.
I just need you to come
home and talk to your son.
- [Michael On Phone] Our son.
- Just, goodbye.
- Hey.
I just went into your room.
What are you doing in here?
- I need some privacy.
I wanna learn how to tie a tie.
- A tie?
What, on YouTube?
- Look, you always said if a
man never remembers anything--
- [Both] He should
remember how to tie a tie.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, that's right.
Gimme that.
If you're gonna tie a tie,
you gotta stick
with the classics.
- [Kevin] Okay.
- Windsor or half-Windsor.
- [Kevin] Yeah.
[melancholy music]
- So, what happened to your eye?
- This is me, pretending.
Pretending I'm becoming
everything my father
wants me to be.
Kinda hate this
part, mainly because
I have to lie to the guy,
but, here goes nothing.
It turns out, I'm not so
great at catching footballs.
It kinda just like you
know, landed on it.
[chuckling]
- A football?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, okay.
Cool, well, you ain't gotta
be embarrassed about that.
Actually, makes
you look tougher.
[laughing]
I kinda like that.
My boy wants to play
football, that's cool.
Ain't gonna turn pro
overnight, though.
You gotta practice.
- Yeah, practice makes perfect.
- Maybe I'll take
some time off of work.
We can go to the park,
throw the ball around, cool?
- Yeah, I'd love that, yeah.
Oh, wow.
- [Michael] There you go.
- Hey, Dad?
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
[melancholy music]
- Bro, give it up.
You?
Kali Winbrook is the
hottest chick in school.
You don't stand a chance.
[laughing]
- [Lance] Wait, he gonna--
he's crazy.
- I stand a chance.
- Thank you for the
encouragement, but,
- Hey Lan.
Hey bro, ain't that old
boy talking to your girl,
Kali right there?
[tense beat music]
- [Kevin] This was
a big moment for me.
I'm about to talk
to Kali Winbrook.
My God, this girl's beautiful,
but this is also
kinda embarrassing,
so do me a favor and
try not to laugh.
- Wait, you're not
stalking me, are you?
- Who me?
No, no, my mom mentioned
it to me this morning--
- Oh right, yeah,
your mom, sure.
- So, are you going to the
Fall Festival this year?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, my mom
actually has a booth, so...
- [Kevin] Okay, cool.
- If you're gonna be there,
though, you should come
check it out, 'cause it's
gonna be really good.
- Yeah, I'll be
there, I'll be there.
[thudding]
- [Lance] What's good?
It's like a retard's fallen
and he can't even get up.
[tense beat music]
- [Kali] Leave him alone, Lance.
- This is my homey.
We cool.
We little homey, right?
Study partners, right?
- Yeah, we joke like
this all the time.
- [Kali] Lance,
what do you want?
- Besides you, what
do I ever need?
- I asked you what you wanted,
not what you can't have.
- [All] Oooh!
[grunting]
- [Lance] Come here.
Didn't I already tell you?
Better not see you
together no more.
Hear me?
[tense beat music]
[bell ringing]
- [Kevin] You know,
at this point,
seemed like I couldn't
have a good day
without Lance coming
in and just ruining it.
[melancholy music]
- Dude, you know what?
You shoulda pushed Chris down.
- I know, 'cause he
was so obnoxious.
- He really is, and what
is with that hair, girl?
I don't like it.
[mumbling]
♪ One more chance
♪ To say yes it's true love

[weeping]
[breathing heavily]
- Olivia, I really
don't think you need
to be here right now.
It's just too soon.
- Are you sending me home?
- It's just for a few days.
- It's not my fault!
It's not my fault!
- No one is blaming you, Olivia.
- [Olivia] It's not my fault!
[melancholy music]
- [Jessica] So, how'd it go
with your son last night?
- [Michael] Went fine.
Worked it all out,
nothing to worry about.
- Nothing to worry about.
Michael, your son
has a bruise on face.
- He was playing
football in gym class.
- Football?
- Yeah, football.
- Michael, you know
that's not true.
- Why would he lie?
If there was really a
problem going on in school,
he would talk to us about it.
I mean, he did it before.
- Yeah,
when his father
didn't pressure him to
be something that he's not.
- [Michael] Oh, so
this is my fault?
- Who else, Michael?
He worships the ground
that you walk on.
- Oh!
Wow.
Look, is it wrong for a
father to want his son
to be more active?
- No, but could you just be
a little bit more easygoing?
- Easygoing?
- [Jessica] Yes.
- Oh, you want me
to be easygoing?
- [Jessica] Yes.
- He's a teenager, not a puppy.
Alright, he got more
things to think about
than being cradled by his
mom every five minutes.
- Bro.
Tell me.
How'd it go with Kali?
- No, no, you don't wanna...
- Let me guess.
She couldn't get
past the black eye.
- Ow.
Okay, first off,
I'll have you know
that Kali Winbrook,
the prettiest girl
invited me to her mom's
tent at the festival.
- You?
Bro, no way.
The way you making
it seem, it's like,
you had a dope conversation.
What y'all talk about?
- Okay, well like,
everything was dope but like,
Lance showed up.
- [Christopher] Hold up, Lance?
- [Kevin] Yeah.
- [Christopher] The Lance?
The same Lance who
gave you the black eye?
- [Kevin] Yeah.
- [Christopher] The Lance
who pulled my pants down--
- [Kevin] Yes, yes, yes.
- [Christopher] The Lance who--
- [Kevin] The Lance that
that glued Miss Dorman's
shoes to the floor, yes, Lance.
- Yeah, but he's been
bullying everybody
since he got to this school.
- Hey, if it isn't Eric.
Money man, what's good, man?
- I don't have it, Lance.
My mom didn't give me
my allowance this week.
- Eric, you know it's not
good to lie to me, right?
- But I really don't have it.
- Yo, guys.
How do we feel about liars?
- [Stanley] We hate
'em, can't stand 'em.
- How do we deal with 'em?
- So, what does
he want with you?
- For me to stay away from her.
- So, basically bro, you
gotta do what he says
and stay away from her.
- No, why would I do that?
- Because if you
don't, then I'm gone.
- Okay.
- And we all know that.
That's not hot.
- Okay, but yo, but I think
she really likes me, bro.
Like it's--
- Yeah, she may like
you, but she loves me.
- Hey guys.
- [Christopher] Yo, yo,
yo, what's good, Kali?
- Hey Kevin, sorry about
what Lance did earlier.
He can be such a jerk sometimes.
- [All] Oohh!
- How are you doing in
Miss Graham's class?
You know we have
a test coming up.
- Yeah, and her tests are
always the hardest, yup.
- Alright, you can go, brother.
Bye.
[chuckling]
[mumbling]
- Yeah, I was actually
thinking about studying
in the library later.
Maybe you can join me,
be my study partner?
- [Both] Yeah.
- [Christopher] Yeah,
we will, we will
definitely be there, for sure.
Thank you.
- Yeah.
- Okay, sounds good.
[giggling]
- Peace out, Kali.
- What does this
clown think he doing?
[tense beat music]
[thudding]
- Pick it up.
- [Kid] Pick it up, you deaf?
- Pick it up.
[mumbling]
- Trashy day.
What is up?
[tense beat music]
- Yo, can you just
leave us alone, man?
[all talking over each other]
- Y'all shut up.
[tense beat music]
Yeah, alright man.
You can go.
[thudding]
- [Kevin] There's only
so much I can take.
Being pushed around, embarrassed
in front of the entire school.
It's enough to make you want
to end it all, you know?
- [Principal] What's
going on, here?
- [Lance] Principal
Evans, I promise,
we was just helping him up.
- Don't try to pull a
fast on me, Mr. Fields.
I saw what just went on here.
We have zero tolerance
for this type of behavior.
You are to report to
my office immediately.
- But I was just--
- Now, Mr. Fields!
[bell ringing]
[chattering]
Mr. Fields.
It's the third time
this week I caught you
stirring up trouble
with the other students.
Now, what do you have
to say for yourself?
- I mean, I'm obviously just not
the luckiest guy in the world.
- Son, I'd suggest you
take this very seriously.
This is your third offense,
and I don't think
you're gonna be
real happy with
the repercussions.
- What is it?
Three days of
after-school detention
or as we like to call it,
after-school lunching.
[chuckling]
- Oh no, Mr. Fields.
You've abused all of
your detention rights.
I got something extra
special in mind for you.
- And what is this?
- Three day out of
school suspension.
You've earned it well.
- Sweet.
Three days of vacation.
What more could a kid ask for?
[chuckling]
- Is that right?
I'm sure your father
would disagree.
[phone ringing]
Yes, Mandy.
Get me Mr. Fields on the phone.
- Yeah.
Please, get that
done for me, okay?
Alright, okay, thanks.
Bye.
Hey Miller.
- [Michael] Yeah?
- This came for you.
A few of the rookies were
going through the storage room.
Found some of
Molly's old things.
Yeah?
[melancholy music]
- [Molly] February 14th.
He's always smiling at me.
Makes me question the
life I now have with Ben.
He's so charming
and the fact that
he's my partner
doesn't help, either.
- We're out here risking
our lives every day
and then you gotta go home
and act like nothing happened.
- Yeah, Benjamin's the same way.
He thinks cops are a liability.
- [Child] Mommy, Mommy,
can I have a lollipop?
- No, baby.
- [Child] Please, please?
- I said no.
- Here you go.
- Thank you, I love this store!
- All he talks about
is his precious school.
- There wouldn't be no
schools if there weren't
good cops out here
doing their job.
[tense music]
- [Dispatcher] Adam 22.
Possible 2-1-1 in
progress at Mill's Market,
720 West Owens Avenue.
Suspects are driving
an all-white sedan.
- [Molly] Copy that, Adam 22
responding to possible suspect.
[siren blaring]
Freeze!
[tense music]
Freeze!
- [Robber] Drop
that fucking gun.
[gunshots popping]
[siren blaring]
[tense beat music]
- You don't have to
do this, alright?
She has nothing to do with this.
Just drop the knife.
I said put the knife down!
- [Robber] Drop it!
Drop it!
- Alright.
- [Robber] Drop it!
- Alright.
- [Robber] Now!
- Alright!
[tense music]
I'm gonna drop it.
Just don't hurt her, alright?
[mumbling]
- [Robber] Take a step back.
[tense beat music]
- Get down.
Get the fuck down, right now.
Get on the fucking floor!
Get!
You got the right to remain
silent mother fucker.
Made me run!
- Jesus Christ.
What were you two
thinking about out there?
I.A. is all over
my ass about this.
- Sir, the suspects
were getting away.
Now, we tried our best to
minimize the situation--
- Minimize the situation?
That punk had a
knife to a kid's head
and you call that
minimizing the situation?
- Sir, if you
would just let me--
- I don't understand how
you two could be so sloppy.
- With all due respect, sir--
- Save that shit, Michael.
There's nothing you two
can say to me about this.
My hands are tied.
This don't make no sense.
I need your badge.
- Oh!
- You're suspending me, sir?
- Yeah, I am.
For a week.
Gimme some time to get
under the stuffing.
[melancholy music]
And you better pray to
God we find your gun
before they shoot.
Media's gonna have a
field day with this shit.
- Jesus Christ.
[melancholy music]
- Don't sweat that.
Now, he can be a dick sometimes.
- Yeah.
But I really messed up today.
- You did what any good
cop would do, saved a life.
You saved a kid's life.
We should be thanking you.
- Yeah, well I don't
feel like much of a hero.
- Michael.
My office.
[knocking]
- Hey Cap, you wanted to see me?
- [Captain] Come on in, Michael.
Have a seat.
Michael, you wanna drink?
- I'm still on the clock,
boss, so no thanks.
- I gonna have me one, though.
I think I've earned it.
So, Michael.
How long you been on the force?
- How long?
- Too long.
[chuckling]
Too long.
I'm sure you've heard by now,
I'm about to check
out of this place.
- Yes, sir.
What do you got going on
here, early retirement?
- Well, I wouldn't call
it early retirement.
I'd say it was
about goddamn time.
[laughing]
- So, who's gonna be
taking over when you leave?
- That's why I called
you in here, Michael.
I want you to be the Captain
when I officially retire.
- Me?
- Who else?
- Most of those idiots out
there couldn't run a race
if they wanted to, let
alone run a police station.
- I don't know
what to say, boss.
- You got time.
Go home, talk it
over with the family.
Come back when you're ready.
- Copy that.
- Good.
Listen, Michael.
It's been a pleasure
working with you, son.
- Pleasure's been
all mine, boss.
- [Captain] You're gonna
make a fine captain, son.
- Thank you, sir.
- [Captain] Yes, sir.
See you soon.
[tense beat music]
[applauding]
- [Benjamin] Yo, ma.
How long has it been?
- [Molly] What are
you talking about?
- [Benjamin] How long's it been?
- Ben.
- How long's it been, Molly?
And don't lie to me.
Tell me the truth.
How long?
- Ben--
- How long?
- There's nothing
going on, okay?
You just need to calm down.
- Really, really?
Really?
- Alright, you've had a
little too much to drink.
Just give me back
my phone, please.
- First of all, don't tell
me I'm overreacting, alright?
Now, I know when
something's wrong.
Ever since we had our son,
you've been different.
You've changed.
Ever since then,
you're different.
Alright, all the late
night phone calls,
all the extra make-up.
I don't even know who
you are half the time.
[melancholy music]
- You're overreacting, okay?
[stammering]
- Listen--
- Listen to me.
- Stop, stop, just stop.
How long has it been?
Answer me that,
tell me the truth.
Just tell me how long?
- Do me a favor, okay?
You've had too much to drink.
Just pull over,
I'll start driving.
- How long, how long Molly?
How long?
- Listen to me, okay?
There's nothing going on.
I would never do
anything to hurt you
or this family.
[phone ringing]
I would never do
that, just stop.
Don't answer it.
Stop it.
- Yeah, hello?
Yeah, what do you
want with my wife?
[tense music]
No, this is her
husband, asshole.
[crashing]
[melancholy jazzy music]
Hey, hey little shit.
Hey.
Where the hell you been, huh?
Hey, I'm talking to you.
Come here.
I'm talking to you.
So, you're out there
starting trouble again, huh?
- [Lance] No.
- [Benjamin] Huh?
- [Lance] No, just--
- [Benjamin] No,
no, no, no, really?
[stammering]
So, that's why Evans
called me and said
that you was kicked out of
school or something, right?
- Naw, I was just--
- You said you was just what?
I was just, I was just.
It was always just, huh?
I don't wanna hear nothing
you got to say, Lance.
Nothing.
Ain't nothing you can say to me.
I was just, I was just.
Let me tell you something.
I brought you in
this world easy,
and I can take you
out just as easy.
You lucky your mother's
not around to see.
She been turning over in her
goddamn grave looking at you.
What?
- She's dead, get over it.
- What did you say?
What did you say?
What did you say to me?
Huh?
What'd you say?
Say it again!
Say it again!
[thudding]
I want respect for your
mother, you understand me?
Huh, you understand me?
Open that door, Lance.
Open the door, Lance.
Be a man, open the door.
Huh?
Open the door.
Open the door.
Come on, open the door.
Huh, open the door.
Open the door, open the door!
[melancholy jazzy music]
- [Kevin] Wow, I
always thought Lance
was the guy to be afraid of.
Guess he has someone
to be afraid of, too.
- [Man On TV] Now you
just said that you had it
with show business, right?
Now, don't you have to be
to work in the morning?
- [Man On TV] I should be
asking you that, brother.
- [Molly] April 23rd.
- What do you mean?
- Michael has made me feel...
In the same room.
We've been coming here
for a while now, and
we always get the same room.
- That's because I ask
for the cheapest one
and this is what we get.
- Oh, the cheapest one?
[chuckling]
Are you implying that
I don't deserve a more
expensive suite?
- And this is coming
from the person
who makes less than me.
- Only because I'm a woman.
If I were a man, I'd
make Captain in 10 years.
- That's a little far-fetched.
- And why is that?
- Because I'd be up
for the position.
- Oh, and where'd you
get that story from?
- I have my sources.
- Oh, bullshit.
Did Rogers tell you that?
- My sources would like
to remain anonymous.
- You're so full of it.
[soft romantic music]
♪ Oh where do we begin oh
You don't have to leave so fast.
We have the room for
the rest of the night.
- Yeah.
[chuckling]
Look, sweetheart.
Jessica's been having problems
getting Kevin to go to sleep.
I gotta get back.
You should maybe be
gettin' back yourself.
You know you're
husband's gonna freak out
if you don't get home soon.
♪ Will hold you
will love you now ♪
♪ Touch you and kiss you
Yeah.
♪ Will hold you will love you
- [Jessica] Are you sure
you don't need glasses?
- No, I don't need
no damn glasses.
- [Jessica] Mmm, well,
it looks like your eyes
are getting old, old man.
- Old man?
- [Jessica] Yes.
- Wow.
So, since when is 25 old?
- Mmm, like a decade
and a half ago.
[chuckling]
- That's true.
- Exactly what are you reading?
- Oh, it's just something
I found at the station.
- So, you're bringing
work home, again.
Ooh, do I remind
you what happened
the last time you
brought work home?
- Oh, you gonna bring that up?
- Yes, 'cause he was
five years old, Michael.
- They were just some
pictures and if you really
wanna discuss it,
the boy done seen
more dead bodies on TV.
- But he had
nightmares for a week.
- But he's better now.
[laughing]
He's good.
You'd be surprised.
He can handle more
than you think.
- Well, he is my son, so...
Don't hate me for
trying to protect him.
- Our son.
Speaking of our son,
where is the boy?
I didn't see him at dinner.
- Oh, he's upstairs doing
some sky stuff with Chris.
- Yo, bro, so what
time are we linking
with me and Kali to study?
What's up?
- No, dude, no, that's
not your business, no.
- Bro, you gotta let
me go through, please.
Listen, if you let
me come, you won't
even know I'm there.
- Dude, okay no,
that's a lie, okay bro.
Look, I don't need you
messin' this up, alright?
Please, can you...
- Okay, okay, okay, Kav.
I'll see you.
You trying to do a little
more than studying, huh?
- What do you mean?
- You trying to get lucky, huh?
- Dude, where'd you get that?
- This is from my
dad's secret box.
- Secret box?
Really, oh.
- My mom hasn't
even found it yet.
- Right, okay, but
how'd you find it?
- No, that doesn't matter,
but if you need one,
I got you, bro.
You need a couple.
- Yeah, yeah.
Hey, do you think she
wants to do that with me?
[chuckling]
- You?
Naw, bro, chill.
I mean, you're making me,
she may give me a couple
tries, we all know, but--
- Dude, you gotta stop
trying to get with Kali, bro.
I'm just, it's a little
annoying, I'm just sayin'.
- Really think.
Have you seen Kali lately?
- Okay, okay, I mean, alright.
Point taken, point taken.
- Right, but listen, my dad,
he only got these blue ones.
Tyler's dad has these
big gold ones, he said.
I don't know.
You should check if
your dad's got some.
[stammering]
- Yeah, I guess, alright.
Alright.
- Just check, bro.
[tense music]
- Okay, alright
dude, I'm in here.
I don't...
- Hey, yo Kev?
Find 'em yet?
- Naw, just found some of
mom's old shoes in here.
- Alright, then check bathroom
or something, kitchen.
- Yeah, yeah I did that.
- Oh, wait up.
See?
Come on now, you know.
Those are not toys.
Gimme that, stop
playing, you know.
Come on.
Wow, like that, alright.
Playing games, come here.
- Alright, now.
- Yo Kev, what is it?
- It's my dad's gun.
- No.
Oh, bro, you gotta let me
borrow it when I come over.
- Yeah, but doesn't your
dad like a bunch of guns?
- Yeah, but, he keeps his
gun locked up, you know?
It's so secret my mom
hasn't even found it, so,
he'll be trippin'.
- [Kevin] Yeah,
it's kinda heavy.
- Yo, that means it's loaded.
My dad taught me that it's
heavy 'cause of the bullets.
- [Kevin] Okay,
how do you open it?
- I don't know, click
a button or something.
[thudding]
[chuckling]
Bro, you broke that.
- [Kevin] Dude, I can't...
Okay, shit.
The piece fell out, okay.
Dude, [stammering]
- [Michael] Stop.
- Shit, I can hear them coming.
Okay, how do you put
it back in there?
- I don't know how to use a gun.
Look who you talking to.
Yo, bro, you screwed.
- Alright, alright.
[knocking]
[mumbling]
[knocking]
Man, that was close.
Alright, there would have
been no coming back from that.
Alright, anyway,

that's way less stressful.

- Good old Chris, wait, dude.
- Alright, bro, bro.
Ain't that my baby
Kali over there?
One sec--
- Hey, hey what are you doing?
It's not funny.
- You afraid she may
pick me over you, huh?
- No, I just don't want
you to do anything stupid
that's gonna mess this up.
This is the girl of
my dreams, come on.
- As if you had
a chance, got it.
- Dude, seriously,
dude, seriously.
Come on, dude.
Dude, dude, dude.

I was ready to scrap

It just wasn't meant to be.
Mom showed up, I
thought she was gonna
come rescue me, you know?
- [Jessica] Kevin!
- [Kevin] But the
craziest thing happened.
She invited him to dinner.
This day really couldn't
be any worse, or I thought.
- Kevin, what's wrong?
- [Kevin] Did she
really just ask me that?
- Is your food cold?
- No, it's fine, it's fine.
- Dinner's delicious,
Mrs. Miller.
- Oh, well thank you, Lance.
Aren't you just the gentleman?
[mumbling]
What was that?
- I said he's like
this all the time.
Just so nice.
- Well isn't that good?
Well, maybe you'll
rub off on Kevin here.
- I can't take all the credit.
He's been a real
generous friend.
- Isn't that sweet?
So, Kevin.
When did you and Lance meet?
- Oh,
first day of school.
I saw him walking in
alone, so I, you know,
I started to talk
to him and we're,
we've been friends ever since.
- Well Kevin, why haven't
I met this young man?
- 'Cause he's not--
- Oh, because I didn't want
to be a bother, you know?
Also, he's been spending
a lot of time with Kali.
- Kali?
Kali Winbrook?
The little girl down the street?
Kevin, do you have a crush?
- No, no, no, no, no.
We're just friends.
I help her study sometimes.
[mumbling]
- Okay, well, I need to
hear about this friend
more a little later.
Alright boys, wait here.
I'm gonna get some dessert.
- Why are you still here?
- Relax.
Can't two friends just
enjoy a good, hot meal?
You know, you actually
did get me suspended,
so it's the least you can do.
- Yeah, I think you
need to leave, now.
- Or what?
- Hey, what's up, Michael?
Or should I say Captain?
- Not a captain yet,
definitely don't feel like one.
- [Man] Then what do
you call all this?
- Testing the waters.
- Well lucky you, Rogers
has just given you
your first test.
- What's that?
- Case file on the Martin kid.
Rogers thinks you should
oversee the investigation.
You know, make sure the
detectives are doing their jobs.
- Well, who's on this case?
- Some newbies from the county.
- Rookies.
- Hey, they're the ones
that found the kid.
Rogers says it's for the best.
Good luck with everything.
See ya 'round, Captain.
[melancholy music]
- Michael.
- [Michael] Yeah, yeah.
- What's this?
- [Michael] Where'd
you get that?
- I found it in your laundry.
- [Michael] Alright,
well thank you.
- Whose is it?
- [Michael] Somebody
left this at the station.
I just picked it up.
I thought it would be
like a good luck charm.
- I thought I was
your good luck charm.
- Baby, you are my
good luck charm.
I figured a little extra
luck wouldn't hurt none.
- So, how was work today?
- It was good.
Same old, same old,
chasing down the bad guys
and locking them up.
- Lately that's been
taking a lot of time.
You know, I don't think
this promotion of yours
is gonna work.
- I didn't even
get promoted yet.
Rogers just wants me to take on
a little extra responsibility.
Now, everything's gonna be fine.
- Well, Captain or no
Captain, Rogers is gonna have
to let my husband come
home for dinner sometimes.
- How was dinner?
- It was great.
You know, I think you would
have liked Kevin's new friend.
He was a nice kid.
- Where'd they meet?
- At school.
But you know, Kevin's
just, he was uncomfortable
when I started asking
a lot of questions.
He mentioned about that girl
that lives down the street.
- Who, Mrs. Winbrook's kid?
- I think Kevin
has a crush on her.
- Way to go Kevin.
She's cute.
- Mmm.
But you know, I just
wonder why he was trying
to hide it from us.
- Aw, he just don't wanna
be embarrassed, that's all.
- Embarrassed?
- Yeah.
- Kevin is a good kid.
And plus, any girl would
be lucky to have my baby.
- Man, that's right,
'cause he's my baby.
- No, my baby.
- That's my boy right there.
- Alright.
I know you're not
going to sleep.
- Come on.
- Naw, nuh uh.
Not tonight.
- Long day, baby.
- No, no, no.
- Long day.

For years, I have

Who is gonna stop me, you?
[crowd catcalling]
- [Kali] Don't
touch me, let me go.
Stop it.
- [Boy] What's the matter?
You can't breath, Lance?
- Give it back to him.
Give it back to him,
Lance, this is serious.
Stop it.
This is not a joke.
You guys, stop.
How 'bout I tell Mr.
Miller what you guys
are doing over here?
- Chill, man.
Ain't no need to get
the old folks involved.
Oops.
- [Kali] Give it back to him.
- Alright, there.

kids'll take a liking
to their new uniforms?
- To be honest, they're
not gonna have a choice.
We're just trying to establish
some order around here.

Principal Evans!
- What is it now?
- There's a kid on the floor.
He can't breathe!

He can't breathe!

Hello?
Yeah, this is Mr. Miller.
What?
[somber music]
Okay, yeah, I'll be right there.
Handle that.
[chattering]
[melancholy music]
Kevin, can you hear me?
This is all my fault, man.
I'm so sorry.
I shoulda known that something
was going on at school.
It's time,
they just been pushing you.
Been pushing you to be
something that you're not.
[mumbling]
How could I have been so stupid?
- Michael, this
is not your fault.
You're a good father.
- Good father wouldn't
have done this.
Good father would not
have let this happen.
- Can't blame yourself for this.
Things happen like
this dealing with kids.
- No they don't.
Not like this.
Not like this.
[melancholy music]
- Mr. Miller.
Is Kevin gonna be okay?
- Yeah, he's gonna be alright.
Christopher, how you doin'?
Christopher, do
you know anything
about what happened tonight?
[tense music]
- I wasn't there when
everything happened, but...
- But what?
You can talk to me.
[melancholy music]
- When Kevin was
getting in the ambulance
I overheard kids
talking, you know.
- What they sayin'?
- He said that Lance
and his friends,
Lance and his friends
snuck in the festival,
they didn't pay.
- So what does that
have to do with Kevin?
- Lance has been out to
get him since day one.
- What are you talking about?
Wait a minute.
What do you mean out to get him?
- He's the reason he has a
black eye and everything.
- Wait a minute.
Kevin told me that he got
hurt playing football.
- No, it was Lance.
[melancholy music]
He wanted to make you proud.
- Make me proud?
- Lance is the reason
we're all here.
- Christopher.
Do you know where
this kid lives?
[tense music]
[tense music]

Hello?
Local police.
Anyone home?
Mr. Fields.
[knocking]
Mr. Fields, I just wanna
ask you a few questions
about your son.
- So, do you remember anything?
Figures.
You know, my uncle
once passed out
and T.G. couldn't
remember anything, so...
But, my parents thought
that was a good idea
'cause there was some
things he wouldn't
want to remember, you know?
- [Michael] Hello?
[phone ringing]
[tense music]
- Kali keeps asking about you.
She feels horrible
about the whole thing,
and she tried to stop
Lance and the crew
and I guess it was too late.
Someone's gotta do
something about this kid
getting away with this stuff.
I guess hero's don't
exist in general life,
but I bought you some things
I knew that you'd like.
I'll leave 'em here for you.
Alright, gotta go.

this whole time
and I desperately wanted
to believe it was his.
Now I don't know what to do.
How am I gonna explain this?
This could ruin my family.
My son would grow
up to despise me
and my husband would hate me.
I can't do it, he
can never know.
Michael can never know

Lucky bastard, I'm

- There's anybody in the house?
- Naw, it was empty
when I got here.
The neighbors saw him out
and decided to call it in.
They said he's always
doing something crazy.
My guess is that he got
drunk and fell over.
Oh, yeah.
Neighbors said that the

Transport to get a wheelchair.
- Is that necessary?
- It's procedure, but if
you want, you can bring
your car around to
the main entrance
and meet him there.
- Thanks, I will.
- Oh, Mrs. Miller.
- Your husband left this
earlier sitting outside
your son's room.
- Oh.
- Mrs. Miller?
Hi, Dr. Wells.
May I speak with
you for a moment?
He's been through a
very traumatic event
and in situations like this,
feelings of self-doubt,
remorse or even guilt
are very common.
- Guilty about what?
- What happened to
him is his fault,
he somehow brought
this upon himself.
- That's ridiculous
because it wasn't.
- [Dr. Wells] I agree with you.
What these are are
issues that you may have
to work through with
Kevin and actually,
I recommend some type of
counseling or therapy.
Keep in mind that
we've healed his body,
however, the real process
begins afterwards.

Just hold on, don't move, okay?
I'm gonna go get help, okay?

- What'd you say to me?
- Oh.
[mumbling]
[tense music]
[gunshots blasting]
- I need multiple brushes in
the cafeteria, right now.
Immediately, I got
five people down.
Get 'em here now!

Don't bother trying

I wish I coulda been a

someone that you and
Mom could be proud of.
I'm sorry she abandoned
us, but she had
to deal with what
happened in her own way.
Send her my love.
I can't bring myself
to send this to her.

- [Woman] In Florida,
two girls face
felony charges this morning.
They're accused of
bullying a classmate
to the point that
she killed herself.
- [Man] Disturbing video
of a locker room fight--
- [Woman] Some of the video
may be upsetting to watch.
- [Man] He was found
dead inside a bathroom.
- [Man] As [inaudible]
reports, his parents
say he was sending a message.
- [Woman] Officials in
Massachusetts believe
there's been another tragic
deadly case of cyber bulling.
A 15 year-old girl
committed suicide
and it appears that she
was being bullied online.
- [Man] The passage of time
has only made bullying worse.
Listen to this.
160,000 kids a day
miss school because
they're too afraid to go,
but it only takes one child
lost to destroy a family.
Until now, you've heard
mostly about the victims,
but tonight, we'll also hear
from the bullies themselves.
- [Kevin] You catch that?
Maybe you've heard it before.
Like I read a Tweet
that somewhere some kid
was getting bullied
and some kid died.
It goes on.
I'm one of those kids.
I am the poster child
for bully abuse.
[clicking]
[tense music]
Ever wonder why bullies pick
on the same kids all the time?
It's like we're magnets
for their punches,
pranks, humiliation.
[tense music]
- Or, he's being
bullied at school.
What, wait.
Oh, wait, wait, Michael.
Hold on!
Just hold on.
I mean, why is it
so hard to believe?
You...
It is more obvious
now than ever.
- [Michael On Phone]
Can't know that for sure.
He would have said
something to us by now.
- Why would he?
I mean, you put so
much pressure on him,
he don't even need
to come talk to us.
- [Michael On Phone]
He's 15 now, okay?
How's he supposed
to become a man
if we don't let him fight
his own battles once in a while?
- Michael, what do you
mean about becoming a man?
He is only 15, and
this is the second time
this year this happened to him.
- [Michael On Phone]
He's not a little kid, Jess.
We both agreed let's enroll
him into public school.
We both said he might
become more social.
- Oh really, what?
Having your face smashed
in is being more social?
Come on, Michael.
- [Michael On Phone]
[inaudible]
- Look, Michael.
You know, I don't have time
for your ridiculous man rules.
I just need you to come
home and talk to your son.
- [Michael On Phone] Our son.
- Just, goodbye.
- Hey.
I just went into your room.
What are you doing in here?
- I need some privacy.
I wanna learn how to tie a tie.
- A tie?
What, on YouTube?
- Look, you always said if a
man never remembers anything--
- [Both] He should
remember how to tie a tie.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, that's right.
Gimme that.
If you're gonna tie a tie,
you gotta stick
with the classics.
- [Kevin] Okay.
- Windsor or half-Windsor.
- [Kevin] Yeah.
[melancholy music]
- So, what happened to your eye?
- This is me, pretending.
Pretending I'm becoming
everything my father
wants me to be.
Kinda hate this
part, mainly because
I have to lie to the guy,
but, here goes nothing.
It turns out, I'm not so
great at catching footballs.
It kinda just like you
know, landed on it.
[chuckling]
- A football?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, okay.
Cool, well, you ain't gotta
be embarrassed about that.
Actually, makes
you look tougher.
[laughing]
I kinda like that.
My boy wants to play
football, that's cool.
Ain't gonna turn pro
overnight, though.
You gotta practice.
- Yeah, practice makes perfect.
- Maybe I'll take
some time off of work.
We can go to the park,
throw the ball around, cool?
- Yeah, I'd love that, yeah.
Oh, wow.
- [Michael] There you go.
- Hey, Dad?
- Yeah.
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
[melancholy music]
- Bro, give it up.
You?
Kali Winbrook is the
hottest chick in school.
You don't stand a chance.
[laughing]
- [Lance] Wait, he gonna--
he's crazy.
- I stand a chance.
- Thank you for the
encouragement, but,
- Hey Lan.
Hey bro, ain't that old
boy talking to your girl,
Kali right there?
[tense beat music]
- [Kevin] This was
a big moment for me.
I'm about to talk
to Kali Winbrook.
My God, this girl's beautiful,
but this is also
kinda embarrassing,
so do me a favor and
try not to laugh.
- Wait, you're not
stalking me, are you?
- Who me?
No, no, my mom mentioned
it to me this morning--
- Oh right, yeah,
your mom, sure.
- So, are you going to the
Fall Festival this year?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, my mom
actually has a booth, so...
- [Kevin] Okay, cool.
- If you're gonna be there,
though, you should come
check it out, 'cause it's
gonna be really good.
- Yeah, I'll be
there, I'll be there.
[thudding]
- [Lance] What's good?
It's like a retard's fallen
and he can't even get up.
[tense beat music]
- [Kali] Leave him alone, Lance.
- This is my homey.
We cool.
We little homey, right?
Study partners, right?
- Yeah, we joke like
this all the time.
- [Kali] Lance,
what do you want?
- Besides you, what
do I ever need?
- I asked you what you wanted,
not what you can't have.
- [All] Oooh!
[grunting]
- [Lance] Come here.
Didn't I already tell you?
Better not see you
together no more.
Hear me?
[tense beat music]
[bell ringing]
- [Kevin] You know,
at this point,
seemed like I couldn't
have a good day
without Lance coming
in and just ruining it.
[melancholy music]
- Dude, you know what?
You shoulda pushed Chris down.
- I know, 'cause he
was so obnoxious.
- He really is, and what
is with that hair, girl?
I don't like it.

- Are you sending me home?

[melancholy music]
- [Jessica] So, how'd it go
with your son last night?
- [Michael] Went fine.
Worked it all out,
nothing to worry about.
- Nothing to worry about.
Michael, your son
has a bruise on face.
- He was playing
football in gym class.
- Football?
- Yeah, football.
- Michael, you know
that's not true.
- Why would he lie?
If there was really a
problem going on in school,
he would talk to us about it.
I mean, he did it before.
- Yeah,
when his father
didn't pressure him to
be something that he's not.
- [Michael] Oh, so
this is my fault?
- Who else, Michael?
He worships the ground
that you walk on.
- Oh!
Wow.
Look, is it wrong for a

to be more active?

Alright, he got more

- Bro.
Tell me.
How'd it go with Kali?
- No, no, you don't wanna...
- Let me guess.
She couldn't get
past the black eye.
- Ow.
Okay, first off,
I'll have you know
that Kali Winbrook,
the prettiest girl
invited me to her mom's
tent at the festival.
- You?
Bro, no way.
The way you making
it seem, it's like,
you had a dope conversation.
What y'all talk about?
- Okay, well like,
everything was dope but like,
Lance showed up.
- [Christopher] Hold up, Lance?
- [Kevin] Yeah.
- [Christopher] The Lance?
The same Lance who
gave you the black eye?
- [Kevin] Yeah.
- [Christopher] The Lance
who pulled my pants down--
- [Kevin] Yes, yes, yes.
- [Christopher] The Lance who--
- [Kevin] The Lance that
that glued Miss Dorman's
shoes to the floor, yes, Lance.
- Yeah, but he's been
bullying everybody
since he got to this school.
- Hey, if it isn't Eric.
Money man, what's good, man?
- I don't have it, Lance.
My mom didn't give me
my allowance this week.
- Eric, you know it's not
good to lie to me, right?
- But I really don't have it.
- Yo, guys.
How do we feel about liars?
- [Stanley] We hate
'em, can't stand 'em.
- How do we deal with 'em?
- So, what does
he want with you?
- For me to stay away from her.
- So, basically bro, you
gotta do what he says
and stay away from her.
- No, why would I do that?
- Because if you
don't, then I'm gone.
- Okay.
- And we all know that.
That's not hot.
- Okay, but yo, but I think
she really likes me, bro.
Like it's--
- Yeah, she may like
you, but she loves me.
- Hey guys.
- [Christopher] Yo, yo,
yo, what's good, Kali?
- Hey Kevin, sorry about
what Lance did earlier.
He can be such a jerk sometimes.
- [All] Oohh!
- How are you doing in
Miss Graham's class?
You know we have
a test coming up.
- Yeah, and her tests are
always the hardest, yup.
- Alright, you can go, brother.
Bye.
[chuckling]
[mumbling]
- Yeah, I was actually
thinking about studying
in the library later.
Maybe you can join me,
be my study partner?
- [Both] Yeah.
- [Christopher] Yeah,
we will, we will
definitely be there, for sure.
Thank you.
- Yeah.
- Okay, sounds good.

clown think he doing?
[tense beat music]

What is up?
[tense beat music]

leave us alone, man?
[all talking over each other]
- Y'all shut up.
[tense beat music]
Yeah, alright man.
You can go.
[thudding]
- [Kevin] There's only
so much I can take.
Being pushed around, embarrassed
in front of the entire school.
It's enough to make you want
to end it all, you know?
- [Principal] What's
going on, here?
- [Lance] Principal
Evans, I promise,
we was just helping him up.
- Don't try to pull a
fast on me, Mr. Fields.
I saw what just went on here.
We have zero tolerance
for this type of behavior.
You are to report to
my office immediately.
- But I was just--
- Now, Mr. Fields!
[bell ringing]
[chattering]
Mr. Fields.
It's the third time
this week I caught you
stirring up trouble
with the other students.
Now, what do you have
to say for yourself?
- I mean, I'm obviously just not
the luckiest guy in the world.
- Son, I'd suggest you
take this very seriously.
This is your third offense,
and I don't think
you're gonna be
real happy with
the repercussions.
- What is it?
Three days of
after-school detention
or as we like to call it,
after-school lunching.
[chuckling]
- Oh no, Mr. Fields.
You've abused all of
your detention rights.
I got something extra
special in mind for you.
- And what is this?
- Three day out of
school suspension.
You've earned it well.
- Sweet.
Three days of vacation.
What more could a kid ask for?
[chuckling]
- Is that right?
I'm sure your father
would disagree.
[phone ringing]
Yes, Mandy.
Get me Mr. Fields on the phone.
- Yeah.
Please, get that
done for me, okay?
Alright, okay, thanks.
Bye.
Hey Miller.

He's always smiling at me.
Makes me question the
life I now have with Ben.
He's so charming
and the fact that
he's my partner
doesn't help, either.
- We're out here risking
our lives every day
and then you gotta go home
and act like nothing happened.
- Yeah, Benjamin's the same way.
He thinks cops are a liability.
- [Child] Mommy, Mommy,
can I have a lollipop?
- No, baby.
- [Child] Please, please?
- I said no.
- Here you go.

thinking about out there?
I.A. is all over
my ass about this.
- Sir, the suspects
were getting away.
Now, we tried our best to
minimize the situation--
- Minimize the situation?
That punk had a
knife to a kid's head
and you call that
minimizing the situation?
- Sir, if you
would just let me--
- I don't understand how
you two could be so sloppy.
- With all due respect, sir--
- Save that shit, Michael.
There's nothing you two
can say to me about this.
My hands are tied.
This don't make no sense.
I need your badge.
- Oh!
- You're suspending me, sir?
- Yeah, I am.
For a week.
Gimme some time to get
under the stuffing.
[melancholy music]
And you better pray to
God we find your gun
before they shoot.
Media's gonna have a
field day with this shit.
- Jesus Christ.
[melancholy music]
- Don't sweat that.
Now, he can be a dick sometimes.
- Yeah.
But I really messed up today.
- You did what any good
cop would do, saved a life.
You saved a kid's life.
We should be thanking you.
- Yeah, well I don't
feel like much of a hero.
- Michael.
My office.

- Hey Cap, you wanted to see me?
- [Captain] Come on in, Michael.
Have a seat.
Michael, you wanna drink?
- I'm still on the clock,
boss, so no thanks.
- I gonna have me one, though.
I think I've earned it.
So, Michael.
How long you been on the force?
- How long?
- Too long.
[chuckling]
Too long.
I'm sure you've heard by now,
I'm about to check
out of this place.
- Yes, sir.
What do you got going on
here, early retirement?
- Well, I wouldn't call
it early retirement.
I'd say it was
about goddamn time.
[laughing]
- So, who's gonna be
taking over when you leave?
- That's why I called
you in here, Michael.
I want you to be the Captain
when I officially retire.
- Me?
- Who else?
- Most of those idiots out
there couldn't run a race
if they wanted to, let
alone run a police station.
- I don't know
what to say, boss.
- You got time.
Go home, talk it
over with the family.
Come back when you're ready.
- Copy that.
- Good.
Listen, Michael.
It's been a pleasure
working with you, son.
- Pleasure's been
all mine, boss.
- [Captain] You're gonna
make a fine captain, son.
- Thank you, sir.
- [Captain] Yes, sir.
See you soon.
[tense beat music]
[applauding]
- [Benjamin] Yo, ma.
How long has it been?
- [Molly] What are
you talking about?
- [Benjamin] How long's it been?
- Ben.
- How long's it been, Molly?
And don't lie to me.
Tell me the truth.
How long?
- Ben--
- How long?
- There's nothing
going on, okay?
You just need to calm down.
- Really, really?
Really?
- Alright, you've had a
little too much to drink.
Just give me back
my phone, please.
- First of all, don't tell
me I'm overreacting, alright?
Now, I know when
something's wrong.
Ever since we had our son,
you've been different.
You've changed.
Ever since then,
you're different.
Alright, all the late
night phone calls,
all the extra make-up.
I don't even know who
you are half the time.
[melancholy music]
- You're overreacting, okay?
[stammering]
- Listen--
- Listen to me.
- Stop, stop, just stop.
How long has it been?
Answer me that,
tell me the truth.
Just tell me how long?
- Do me a favor, okay?
You've had too much to drink.
Just pull over,
I'll start driving.
- How long, how long Molly?
How long?
- Listen to me, okay?
There's nothing going on.
I would never do
anything to hurt you
or this family.
[phone ringing]
I would never do
that, just stop.
Don't answer it.
Stop it.
- Yeah, hello?
Yeah, what do you
want with my wife?
[tense music]
No, this is her
husband, asshole.
[crashing]
[melancholy jazzy music]
Hey, hey little shit.
Hey.
Where the hell you been, huh?
Hey, I'm talking to you.
Come here.
I'm talking to you.
So, you're out there
starting trouble again, huh?
- [Lance] No.
- [Benjamin] Huh?
- [Lance] No, just--
- [Benjamin] No,
no, no, no, really?
[stammering]
So, that's why Evans
called me and said
that you was kicked out of
school or something, right?
- Naw, I was just--
- You said you was just what?
I was just, I was just.
It was always just, huh?
I don't wanna hear nothing
you got to say, Lance.
Nothing.
Ain't nothing you can say to me.
I was just, I was just.
Let me tell you something.
I brought you in
this world easy,
and I can take you
out just as easy.
You lucky your mother's
not around to see.
She been turning over in her
goddamn grave looking at you.
What?
- She's dead, get over it.
- What did you say?
What did you say?
What did you say to me?
Huh?
What'd you say?
Say it again!
Say it again!
[thudding]
I want respect for your
mother, you understand me?
Huh, you understand me?
Open that door, Lance.
Open the door, Lance.
Be a man, open the door.
Huh?
Open the door.
Open the door.
Come on, open the door.
Huh, open the door.
Open the door, open the door!
[melancholy jazzy music]
- [Kevin] Wow, I
always thought Lance
was the guy to be afraid of.
Guess he has someone
to be afraid of, too.
- [Man On TV] Now you
just said that you had it
with show business, right?
Now, don't you have to be
to work in the morning?
- [Man On TV] I should be
asking you that, brother.
- [Molly] April 23rd.
- What do you mean?
- Michael has made me feel...
In the same room.
We've been coming here
for a while now, and
we always get the same room.
- That's because I ask
for the cheapest one
and this is what we get.
- Oh, the cheapest one?

Are you implying that
I don't deserve a more
expensive suite?
- And this is coming
from the person
who makes less than me.
- Only because I'm a woman.
If I were a man, I'd
make Captain in 10 years.
- That's a little far-fetched.
- And why is that?
- Because I'd be up
for the position.
- Oh, and where'd you
get that story from?
- I have my sources.
- Oh, bullshit.
Did Rogers tell you that?
- My sources would like
to remain anonymous.
- You're so full of it.

What's up?
- No, dude, no, that's
not your business, no.

Listen, if you let

really just ask me that?

this all the time.
Just so nice.

Well, maybe you'll

He's been a real

So, Kevin.
When did you and Lance meet?
- Oh,
first day of school.
I saw him walking in
alone, so I, you know,
I started to talk
to him and we're,
we've been friends ever since.
- Well Kevin, why haven't
I met this young man?
- 'Cause he's not--
- Oh, because I didn't want
to be a bother, you know?
Also, he's been spending
a lot of time with Kali.
- Kali?
Kali Winbrook?
The little girl down the street?
Kevin, do you have a crush?
- No, no, no, no, no.
We're just friends.
I help her study sometimes.

hear about this friend
more a little later.

- Hey, what's up, Michael?
Or should I say Captain?
- Not a captain yet,
definitely don't feel like one.
- [Man] Then what do
you call all this?
- Testing the waters.
- Well lucky you, Rogers
has just given you
your first test.
- What's that?
- Case file on the Martin kid.
Rogers thinks you should
oversee the investigation.
You know, make sure the
detectives are doing their jobs.
- Well, who's on this case?
- Some newbies from the county.
- Rookies.
- Hey, they're the ones
that found the kid.
Rogers says it's for the best.
Good luck with everything.
See ya 'round, Captain.
[melancholy music]

- [Michael] Yeah, yeah.
- What's this?
- [Michael] Where'd
you get that?
- I found it in your laundry.
- [Michael] Alright,
well thank you.
- Whose is it?
- [Michael] Somebody
left this at the station.
I just picked it up.
I thought it would be
like a good luck charm.
- I thought I was
your good luck charm.
- Baby, you are my
good luck charm.
I figured a little extra
luck wouldn't hurt none.
- So, how was work today?
- It was good.
Same old, same old,
chasing down the bad guys
and locking them up.
- Lately that's been
taking a lot of time.
You know, I don't think
this promotion of yours
is gonna work.
- I didn't even
get promoted yet.
Rogers just wants me to take on
a little extra responsibility.
Now, everything's gonna be fine.
- Well, Captain or no
Captain, Rogers is gonna have
to let my husband come
home for dinner sometimes.
- How was dinner?
- It was great.
You know, I think you would
have liked Kevin's new friend.
He was a nice kid.
- Where'd they meet?
- At school.
But you know, Kevin's
just, he was uncomfortable
when I started asking
a lot of questions.
He mentioned about that girl
that lives down the street.
- Who, Mrs. Winbrook's kid?
- I think Kevin
has a crush on her.
- Way to go Kevin.
She's cute.
- Mmm.
But you know, I just
wonder why he was trying
to hide it from us.
- Aw, he just don't wanna
be embarrassed, that's all.
- Embarrassed?
- Yeah.
- Kevin is a good kid.
And plus, any girl would
be lucky to have my baby.
- Man, that's right,
'cause he's my baby.
- No, my baby.
- That's my boy right there.
- Alright.
I know you're not

- Come on.
- Naw, nuh uh.
Not tonight.
- Long day, baby.
- No, no, no.

Lance and his friends
snuck in the festival,

- So what does that
have to do with Kevin?
- Lance has been out to
get him since day one.
- What are you talking about?

once passed out

But, my parents thought
that was a good idea
'cause there was some
things he wouldn't

- [Michael] Hello?

- Kali keeps asking about you.
She feels horrible
about the whole thing,
and she tried to stop
Lance and the crew
and I guess it was too late.
Someone's gotta do
something about this kid
getting away with this stuff.

Officer Miller.
- [Dispatcher] Okay, you want
to clear and be in route.
- Copy that.
- [Both] Three, two, one, up.
- [Woman] Well, that's
where I found him.
Right there.
Lucky bastard, I'm
surprised he's still alive.
- There's anybody in the house?
- Naw, it was empty
when I got here.
The neighbors saw him out
and decided to call it in.
They said he's always
doing something crazy.
My guess is that he got
drunk and fell over.
Oh, yeah.
Neighbors said that the
wife died a long time ago,
so it's just he and the
kid living here now.
I think his name is Logan.
- It's Lance.
Lance Fields.
- You know him?
- No, I knew the mother.
[melancholy music]
- [Jessica] Excuse me,
I'm here for my son.
- [Nurse] Name?
- [Jessica] Kevin Miller,
he's being discharged today.
Can I just go get him?
- I'm sorry ma'am.
We have to call Patient
Transport to get a wheelchair.
- Is that necessary?
- It's procedure, but if
you want, you can bring
your car around to
the main entrance
and meet him there.
- Thanks, I will.
- Oh, Mrs. Miller.
- Your husband left this
earlier sitting outside
your son's room.
- Oh.
- Mrs. Miller?
Hi, Dr. Wells.
May I speak with
you for a moment?
He's been through a
very traumatic event
and in situations like this,
feelings of self-doubt,
remorse or even guilt
are very common.
- Guilty about what?
- What happened to
him is his fault,
he somehow brought
this upon himself.
- That's ridiculous
because it wasn't.
- [Dr. Wells] I agree with you.
What these are are
issues that you may have
to work through with
Kevin and actually,
I recommend some type of
counseling or therapy.
Keep in mind that
we've healed his body,
however, the real process
begins afterwards.
[tense music]
- Miss Jenkins?
- [Miss Jenkins] Yes, Stanley.
- [Stanley] Could I
go to the bathroom?
- You know the rules, Stanley.
No one can leave during testing.
- [Stanley] Miss Jenkins,
I will be right back.
I just really have to go pee.
- [Miss Jenkins]
Okay, just this once.
- Thank you.
- And Stanley, come
straight back, okay?
[stammering]
No funny business.
[mumbling]
[tense music]
- Oh no, Takis.
What are those?
[laughing]
Bro...
[gunshot blasting]
[tense music]
[gunshots blasting]
- We have breaking news
of an active shooting
happening at a local high
school here in North Las Vegas.
Coming in that someone
has opened fire
and the scene is chaotic.
Please stay tuned for updates
as the story develops.
Back to you, Dion.

April 23rd.
July 14th.
[tense music]
[gunshot blasting]
Michael has made me feel,
he's so charming.
Today was just
full of surprises.
[screaming]
Michael can never know
that Lance is his son.
[tense music]

- [Principal Evans]
How could you?
How could you?
Put the gun down.
Put it down!
[gunshot blasting]
[tense music]
- [Kali] It's okay, it's okay.
Just hold on, don't move, okay?
I'm gonna go get help, okay?
[tense music]
- [Lance] Didn't I tell you?
- What'd you say to me?
- Oh.
[mumbling]
[tense music]
[gunshots blasting]
- I need multiple brushes in
the cafeteria, right now.
Immediately, I got
five people down.
Get 'em here now!
[tense music]
- [Kevin] This was the moment.
The moment everything changed.

It won't be that way for long.

Oh no!
No, Kevin!

Oh shit, come on boy.
Oh no!

No!
Alright, come on.
Two, three.
