MM, YEAH.
NEVER OUTSHINE THE BIG BOY.

LISTEN, I'VE GOT TO GO.
THE STATE'S ABOUT TO BE
IN THE MIDDLE OF A NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT
IF WE CAN'T WRAP OUR ARMS AROUND THAT LITTLE GIRL WHO WAS KILLED.

YOU KNOW, THE ENTIRE AFRICAN‐AMERICAN COMMUNITY
IS IN AN UPROAR.
EVERY CIVIL‐RIGHTS ACTIVIST IN THE ENTIRE STATE
WILL BE HERE TOMORROW PUTTING PRESSURE ON THIS TOWN
FOR US TO SOLVE THIS CASE AND BRING SOMEONE TO JUSTICE.
POLICE HAVE ANY SUSPECTS, ANY LEADS, ANYTHING AT ALL?
WELL, THE WITNESSES ARE SAYING THAT IT WAS A WHITE MAN,
WHICH DOESN'T REALLY HELP,
THAT HE WAS DRIVING ERRATICALLY THROUGH THE STREETS.
YOU KNOW, HE STRUCK THIS LITTLE GIRL,
AND THEN HE HIT A MAN.
IT'S JUST SO SAD. THAT, IT IS.
LISTEN, I'M SORRY. I HAVE TO GO.
NICE TO SEE YOU, JIM.
GREAT TO SEE YOU, MAGGIE.
I'LL CALL YOU LATER.
THANK YOU AGAIN. MM‐HMM.

WHY WERE YOU SO QUIET?
[ DOOR CLOSES ] WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
OH, DAMN IT, JIM. IF THIS IS ABOUT CANDACE ‐‐
NO, NO, NO. CANDACE IS NOT A PROBLEM. BELIEVE ME.
WHAT WE HAVE IS A REAL PROBLEM, DAVID.
[ SIGHS ] ALL RIGHT, THEN, WHAT IS IT?
THE BLACK SEDAN.
YEAH?
THE BLACK SEDAN IS YOUR SON'S CAR.

YES.
JEFFREY'S CAR?
DAVID, I'M SORRY.
BUT I THINK YOUR SON RAN OVER THAT KID.
SAY THAT AGAIN.
I UNDERSTAND IT'S GOT TO BE PAINFUL FOR YOU,
BUT I THINK YOUR SON RAN OVER THAT KID.
JIM, DON'T DO THIS.
DON'T DO WHAT?
YOU KNOW THAT JEFFREY DIDN'T DO THAT.
I DON'T KNOW THAT.
WYATT WAS DRIVING THAT CAR.
OH, REALLY? HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THAT?
BECAUSE WYATT TOOK JEFFREY'S CAR WHEN HE LEFT THE REHAB.
AND YOU KNOW THIS HOW? BECAUSE JEFFREY TOLD ME.
JEFFREY IS FAR FROM A WHITE MAN. OH, COME ON.
SO, YOU'RE GONNA STAND THERE, AND YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME
THAT YOUR SON DID NOT RUN OVER THAT LITTLE GIRL,
YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THAT JEFFREY WAS NOT DRIVING THAT CAR!!
I DON'T KNOW THAT, DAVID!
HOW DARE YOU TRY AND PIN THIS ON MY SON?!
HOW DARE I WHAT?!
AFTER ALL I'VE DONE FOR YOU ‐‐ YOU SON OF A BITCH!
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW?
I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH!
YOU WILL NOT SACRIFICE MY SON!
YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO TO PROTECT WYATT.
AND I KNOW YOU WILL. I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY!
BUT SACRIFICE MY SON? I SWEAR, JIM ‐‐
I AM SORRY.
DO NOT MAKE ME YOUR ENEMY.
I'M A GOOD FRIEND, BUT I'M A BETTER ENEMY.
I'M SORRY.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
MY SON, WYATT... WAS DRIVING YOUR SON'S CAR.
HE WAS DRIVING JEFFREY'S CAR.
[ SNIFFLES ] HE WAS DRIVING THE CAR, DAVID.
[ Crying ] HE WAS DRIVING ‐‐
THIS IS A POWDER KEG.
I KNOW. [ SNIFFLES ]
A LITTLE GIRL IS DEAD.
DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU NEED TO TELL ME THAT?
IF THEY PUT WYATT BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THAT CAR ‐‐
IF THEY PUT WYATT BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THE CAR,
THEN THE...
CAMPAIGN IS OVER, AND MY SON GETS TO GO TO PRISON
FOR THE REST OF HIS NATURAL LIFE.
I KNOW HOW IT WORKS, DAVID.

WYATT DITCHED THE CAR SOMEWHERE. I HAVE NO IDEA.
WE'VE BEEN OUT ALL NIGHT LOOKING FOR IT, WYATT AND ME,
LOOKING FOR IT, AND I CAN'T FIND IT.
THAT'S...PERFECT.
I KNOW.
WAIT. WAIT A MINUTE.
WHO ARE YOU CALLING? JEFFREY.
NO, DAVID, WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THIS THING.
WE HAVE TO THINK IT THROUGH. THERE'S NOTHING TO THINK ABOUT.
WE NEED TO FIND JEFFREY'S CAR. YOU CAN'T TELL JEFFREY.
YOU TELL JEFFREY, HE'S GONNA PUT IT TOGETHER.
HE'S TOO DAMN SMART. HE'S GONNA FIGURE IT OUT.
IT'S JEFFREY.
IT'S HIS CAR. YOU'RE RIGHT.
JEFFREY WOULD NEVER TURN ON WYATT. HE LOVES HIM TOO MUCH.
WHAT?
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
I SAID THAT JEFFREY WOULD NEVER TURN ON WYATT.
THE SECOND PART.
HE LOVES HIM.
SO, WHAT?
WHAT DO YOU KNOW, JIM?

YES.
UH, YOU ARE? HIS MOTHER.
UM, HE'S OUT OF SURGERY.
IS HE OKAY?
HE HAS A LOT OF SWELLING IN HIS BRAIN.
YOU SHOULDN'T BE TOO HOPEFUL.
I‐I'M SORRY. WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
I'M SAYING THAT IT DOESN'T LOOK GOOD.
WHAT?
W‐W‐WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
THAT'S IT? I'M SORRY.
WAIT, NOW! LASHONDA MORRIS?
WAIT! YOU GOT TO TELL ME SOMETHING!
WHAT IS THAT? DOCTOR!
I'M REVEREND CHARLES WATERS, CIVIL‐RIGHTS ACTIVIST.
DO YOU WANT A LINE OUTSIDE THIS HOSPITAL PICKETING YOU?
THEN, TELL HER WHAT'S GOING ON.
AS I SAID,
THERE'S A LOT OF BRAIN SWELLING FROM THE TRAUMA.
HE HIT HIS HEAD REALLY HARD,
AND WE OPERATED AND STOPPED ALL THE BLEEDING.
BUT IF THE SWELLING DOESN'T GO DOWN, THEN HE COULD DIE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO PUT IT, OKAY?
I'M SORRY, BUT THAT'S ALL I CAN TELL YOU.
YOU REALLY SHOULD THINK ABOUT MAKING FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.

THE WAY THAT I WANT HIM TO.
I GOT SOME NEW TOYS. IT'S HUGE.

EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR ENTIRE LIVES.
