The mystery is just starting on Shots Fired.

This belongs to you.

Only on Fox.

Previously on Shots Fired...

It's possible that all I've accomplished

will be overshadowed by the deaths of these two young men.

Beck was having a bad day, it doesn't make him a murderer.

It makes him a liar. I heard this was your last week.

Going out with a bang? Might as well.

I'll follow when you are capable of leading.

Kerry!

I just spoke to Kiana. Where...?

There's a young woman in surgery

fighting for her life. It's nothing to do with me.

Why am I not surprised to see you here, Brother Terry?

She's being charged with the murder of Joey Campbell.

You recorded us?

Drop this custody suit.

You're unfit to be a mother.

Assaulting an officer, resisting arrest?

It won't get you your daughter back.

Ashe!

We got to get you checked out.

I'm good.

They beat your ass worse.

Way, way worse.

Whoever "they" are.

Nothing seems to be missing, though.

Looks like you got here just after them.

He was after Jesse's phone and the video on it.

Why do you think that?

We just told Platt about it. Too coincidental.

Yeah, but we have files on the Tours.

Notes, witness statements.

Maybe they were after the safe house address.

Whatever he was after, he was a professional.

Both our cases blew up tonight.

We got to hit them hard.

We have five days.

Any, any of y'all seen Shawn?

No, ma'am.

What, he ran off?

Yeah, we got into it.

He'll turn up.

You see him, you let me know, all right?

I'm over there in 308, on the other side of the mailbox.

I know, Miss Campbell.

I'm gonna check the church.

Oh, my God, you don't know.

Know what?

Cops came and arrested Pastor Janae last night.

They're saying she's the one who killed your Joey.

You might remember, Pastor Janae first came

to prominence after bringing together the mothers

of Jesse Carr and Joey Campbell.

She also called for more scrutiny

on the Gate Station County Sheriff's Office

and following a dramatic arrest last night

and the discovery of a gun, everybody out there is shocked.

Mr. Terry, are you responsible for Pastor Janae's arrest, sir?

Do you have any comment, sir?

How'd you know the gun was in the church?

Anonymous tip.

You trace it?

Serial number's been filed down.

Ballistics?

Yeah, it's the gun that killed Joey Campbell.

Take the shackles off.

It's policy.

My interview, my rules.

How are you?

I spent my night counting civil rights violations.

How about you?

Been better.

The gun found in your office was the same gun

used to kill Joey Campbell.

This is so Gate Station... That ain't my gun.

How do you explain it being there?

What motive could I possibly have for killing him?

You didn't want drug dealers in the Houses.

Maybe he didn't listen. No.

We had a break-in a few nights ago.

They stole a computer and some speakers.

Maybe that's when the gun was planted.

Did you report it?

We'd be reporting it to the people who put it there.

Why would they put the body on you,

and not some petty lowlife? That'd be easier.

Do you know the origin of policing in the South?

Slave patrols.

White men given the authority

to question, search, and harass us.

Sound familiar?

Policing in the U.S. wasn't created to protect and serve.

It was created to control us.

They are trying to control me.

As protected as you think you are, folks are talking.

Witnesses heard you threaten Joey Campbell.

His mama didn't have no problem with me getting in his face

when he was messing up.

Did she know you and The Hands got physical with him?

Do not answer that, Pastor.

I'm having a hard time

reconciling the woman we met is capable of murder.

Yeah.

People rarely show you who they really are.

But I'm not gonna rush to judgment.

Let's hold a beat before putting out a statement.

The press will ask you about it today.

I want you to keep them at bay.

I don't want anything clouding this event.

We are badly in need of a win.

I spoke with both men this morning.

They're excited.

And very grateful.

You have the speech?

You're confident about the timing of this?

They brought Gate Station together 50 years ago.

And I think that they can help do it again, ma'am.

Hey, Shameeka. Hey.

Sorry to bother you. We just need to ask you

a few questions.

I heard they arrested her.

She say she did it?

No.

How would you describe

her relationship with Joey?

What'd Pastor say?

We want to hear from you.

I found out Joey was selling weed.

Told me he was doing it to help me out, and I nearly lost it.

Pastor... stepped in.

Stepped in how?

She told him she'd help him get into NC State

if he stopped hustling.

Took him on a tour of the campus and everything.

He came home all excited about it.

Jesse Carr went to NC State.

Any chance they knew each other?

I don't know, I don't think so.

If Pastor Janae was such a positive influence,

why are you not surprised she was arrested?

I heard Joey was selling again.

I asked Pastor to take care of it.

"Take care of it"?

Look, I didn't know what else to do.

He came home all roughed up, and...

And I didn't ask no questions.

So if it's true,

if Pastor Janae had something to do with my baby's death,

then it's my fault, too.

We're supposed to protect them, no matter what.

And here I am, two boys gone.

Where's Shawn?

Ran away last night.

Like he punishing me.

For what?

Losing Joey.

We've got to keep an eye out for Shawn.

No doubt.

They're setting her up. Why?

They're trying to assassinate the sister.

You one of them or one of us?

I don't trust them and I don't trust you.

Better stay woke.

Morning. Morning.

Which one of those boys don't like cheese in their grits?

Mmm... Christian.

I haven't had the energy to make them anything

but cold cereal the past couple weeks.

Oh, they'll survive.

So...

you ready to talk now?

Nothing to talk about.

We had a fight.

I needed space.

"Space"?

You need space, you put his butt on the couch.

You don't walk out.

31 years, your daddy and I,

we never went to sleep on a fight.

Now, that don't mean there weren't a whole lot of nights

that turned into morning.

Mama, he's different.

Oh, baby, what do you expect?

Of course he's different.

He's a grown man who can't go to work, can't go out in public...

You think this has been easy on me?

No, but this is not about you right now.

The world is talking about your man

like they know his heart.

And now he's wondering if he lost his family.

For better or for worse.

This right here's the worse.

We've never talked about it.

Talked about what?
