"No contact!" "That plea deal..." "I might consider that." "Are you insane?" "That's like admitting you're guilty." "I mean, they know other people are involved."

"Thank you, Father." "Don't touch me." "Get off me." "(crying):" "You set me up." "(crying)" " I was just trying to help." " Get out." "Get out." "You asked for my help!" "You did!" "Both of y'all are confused." "(door slams)" "(cries softly)" "(crying)" "(door opens)" "Do it." "Pull the trigger, you stupid bitch." "What is wrong with you?" "Put that gun down." "Put that gun down." "Cotton." "You know how nasty your room would've looked if you had pulled that stunt?" "I would've had to clean blood out of these glitter curtains." "(laughs weakly)" " Are you laughing?" " (laughs)" "What happened?" "I can't believe my ma would do that to me." "But at least you got a mama, I guess, crazy." "Is Simone rubbing off on me?" "I think so." "(laughs)" "(both laughing)" "ROSE:" "Where are you, dear?" "You should've been here an hour ago." "I'm not coming." "What do you mean you're not coming?" "Moses posted bail for that boy." "I realized something, Mom." "I've never felt this way about anybody in my life, and I can't just leave." "Alexandra, we had a deal!" "Yeah, just like all those times you made deals to take me to The Nutcracker if I poured you one last drink, but you were too drunk." "I never saw it." "Or how you and Dad made a deal to launch my solo career, but Dad squashed it 'cause he didn't want me on his label." "This is exactly what I was talking about, the influence of those street girls they have on you..." "Please, Mom." "I learned these street smarts on my own." "Besides, ten grand is like a Chanel bag for you." "Don't worry, I'll pay you back." "You really love that boy, Alexandra?" "Yeah." "I really do." "Mark my words, he'll break your heart." "I'll call you back later." "(Derek groans)" "HARRIS: "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."" "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned." "Who am I to judge?" "(crying)" "We ran your John Doe's DNA." "It came back a match to the one in a car." "We ran the plates and it's a rental." " Last rented to an Otis Leecan." " Otis Leecan?" "I have an open case on him." "Looks like we got our John Doe." "Derek's still got to go to trial, but at least he's out." "I still can't believe you pulled that on your mom." "I didn't think you had it in you." " I did." " Thank you." "(laughs)" "I'm glad you guys are here." "What is she doing here?" "Is this about Atlanta NextFest?" "This better only be about handling what we discussed." "Look, I wanted to talk to you all earlier, but I didn't really get a chance." "So, here's the deal." "I have an inside source at the Atlanta NextFest." "The competition is a lot more fierce than I thought, and I'm not really feeling like I want to lose this thing." "I'm expanding our audience." "I'm adding Eva to the group." "Okay." "I quit." "What's the deal with all the cops?" "They're searching around." "Questioning us." "This whole thing could blow up in our faces." "You're being considered as a person of interest in the murder of Otis Leecan." "You can't keep me in here like this." "Do I need a lawyer?" "This is not going away, Talk to me." "I think we found what we were looking for." "You're lying." "Your interaction with Otis is the last time he was seen alive."
