Shots Fired

The mystery is just starting on Shots Fired.

I'll fight you in the alley, and I'll fight you in the courtroom.

Catch all-new episodes Wednesdays,

and check out our other Fox programs...

24: Legacy, Empire and Gotham.

This belongs to you.

Only on Fox.

Previously on Shots Fired...

Please drop this custody suit.

It should have never happened, baby.

The governor called me personally.

She wants a black prosecutor out front... optics.

All the murdering of unarmed black men

by police across this country,

and this is the one that the government is investigating?

Refusing a sobriety test,

assaulting an officer,

and resisting arrest

certainly won't get you your daughter back.

I'm placing you on administrative leave

with pay until this is resolved.

Your mother and I, we're taking a loan

against the house.

We're gonna have enough to cover your legal fees.

Joey Campbell's murderer... You were there that night.

Who says? His mother.

I am not declaring war on my citizens.

Your citizens have already declared war on you.

Shut that thing off!

What are you doing, damn it?

Come here!

Get off my son!

Get off!

That's my mom!

Son!

Extra patrols...

With the exception of a few

isolated pockets of unrest, the violence seems to be contained.

But we're all on alert should there be any more incidents.

That video of you is all over social media, Lieutenant.

How does it feel to be a hero?

I'm no hero... I'm just doing my job.

The Tours part of your job?

Yes, ma'am.

I'd like you to be straight with me.

Were there any abuses within the program?

If there were, I would've reported them immediately

to Sheriff Platt.

Of course.

Stop right there!

Stop here.

Stop.

Stop resisting!

Get those people back.

Get back, now!

Is this level of force necessary?

He was noncompliant with the officers, Governor.

What's the governor doing here?

Move back!

What did this young man do?

He vandalized that building

with spray paint.

Consider this a pardon.

We should leave, ma'am.

Preston Terry.

This is Deputy Carroll.

Hey, how are you, sir?

I've been trying to explain to the AG

why this investigation's produced no meaningful results.

Sir, just because I haven't charged Deputy Beck

with the murder of Jesse Carr doesn't mean

that we're wasting our time here.

We've uncovered a level of police corruption

within the Gate Station Sheriff's Department.

That's obviously over your head.

I take it you haven't spoken to Akino.

She gets back today.

Then I'll be the bearer of bad news.

You're being replaced.

Excuse me?

I've assigned another team

that will arrive next week... You're done.

Sir, sir, that will be a huge mistake.

No, the mistake was putting you in a situation

you're not quite qualified to handle.

I'm sorry.

Be prepared to hand over when they arrive.

What the hell?

This is Ashe, leave it here.

Thanks for meeting me.

I'm listening.

An eyewitness to a murder came forward a few months back,

ID'd the shooter as a drug dealer named Calvin.

Testimony seemed totally legit.

Then when it went to trial, that same eyewitness

recanted his story.

Admitted he lied about ever seeing Calvin shoot someone.

So what, he made the whole story up?

A nice little fairy tale.

What does that have to do with any one of my cases?

The witness fabricated his story because.

Pastor Janae didn't like Calvin.

He was a drug dealer... She wanted him off the streets.

It's all here if you want to see it.

The word is your case is hanging on an eyewitness.

If I were you, I'd take a hard look at them.

People will say whatever the dollar or the pastor calls for.

And you just wanted to look out for me.

No.

No, you're destroying my town and my best friend's life.

I want the DOJ out of Gate Station.

No, you've caused enough problems.

Where's Kai?

Out with her father.

I'll call back.

Javi told me everything.

I'm sure not everything.

We're gonna go to counseling.

We're gonna be okay.

But he's not dropping the custody case.

I think you're a crazy bitch.

You're no good for Kai.

I slept with your man, made him say my name.

And you're gonna stay?

You're weak, Paula.

And you're out of your mind if you think I'm gonna

let Kai learn that from you.

Walking away would have been easy.

Claims residents of the community

assist in the clean up.

However, tensions remain high.

The backlash is from the investigation into the murder

of Joey Campbell that has produced little results

and no answers to the mother of the slain victim.

As protestors spill into the streets,

the beleaguered police force was reinforced

by a military presence and a tank.

Some say this made an already combustible situation

even worse.

Which way are the tanks driving?

Toward us.

Which way are the guns pointed?

At us.

But this city's been burning long before anyone lit a match.

So y'all either don't know,

or y'all just don't give a damn.

Justice for Joey Campbell.

Justice for Joey Campbell.

No justice, no peace.

No justice, no peace! No justice, no peace!

Authorities are bracing themselves

for another night of unrest as residents...

What about Joey...

protests that led to a day of violence

in Gates Station, North Carolina.

While many called this a riot,

residents of this small town called it an uprising...

Sorry, wrong table...

I'll take what she's having.

Vodka orange juice.

Guess the orange juice makes it breakfast.

So are we drinking out of regret or to forget?

Here you go.

Maybe both.

To the mistakes we made today.

May we survive the ones we make tomorrow.

This is the final boarding call

for flight 7044 to New York JFK.

You wanna get out of here?

Wait, you serious?

What, you got something against meaningless sex?

I just know that sex is about everything but the sex.

I'm curious to know what this is for you.

Don't do that.

I mean, what was your endgame when you came over here?

We exchange contact info, send dirty pics back and forth,

sneak away from your wife

once or twice a year for a long-distance booty call?

I'm just cutting out the nonsense.

I considered all that, yeah.

Except for the dirty pics.

I may want to run for office one day.

I parked in long-term.

Meaningless enough for you?

Have a safe flight.

In North Carolina as peaceful protestors

took a violent turn yesterday

when demonstrators clashed with authorities.

However, the actions of one police officer

made a bold statement against injustice.

Some hope his actions illustrate

there is a hope for healing between law enforcement

and African-American residents.

Others remain skeptical.

Flight 610 to Charlotte is now boarding.

Passengers please proceed to Gate D3.

Give me another one.

Who were arrested yesterday.

Sheriff Platt of the Gates Station Sheriff's Department

says these recent acts of violence will not be tolerated.
