00:02 Hey, Mom.
00:03 [phone vibrates]
00:05 There is something I want to tell you in person.
00:07 [phone vibrates]
00:09 I love you so much.
00:11 [sobbing]
00:13 Someone killed my son.
00:15 I need to.
00:16 You've got to leave, but I don't think that's what you should be thinking about right now, Mom.
00:20 I loved Michael, and I'm sad he's gone.
00:22 I'm pregnant.
00:23 [dramatic music]
00:24 I'm here to help, but you need to talk to other people in your situation.
00:27 [dramatic music]
00:28 You are my best writer, right?
00:31 You know I didn't make him a junkie.
00:32 No, I don't know that.
00:33 [dramatic music]
00:34 Is he still feeling?
00:35 That's the thing, he had stopped.
00:37 [dramatic music]
00:38 Somebody called him that night.
00:39 He left awfully dumped.
00:41 And then, bam.
00:42 What is that?
00:43 That's about $50,000 worth of dirty heroin.
00:46 [dramatic music]
00:47 I want you to talk to me on the record.
00:49 You remember Mike's friend, Ducky?
00:50 We think him and Michael might have been in business together.
00:53 Selling heroin coated with fentanyl.
00:55 Stuff called Mother's Milk.
00:56 Mike was killed up the block from one of Ducky's stash houses.
00:59 [dramatic music]
01:01 Ducky killed Michael.
01:03 I know he would not do this.
01:05 Then who killed him?
01:06 [dramatic music]
01:08 You saw what happened?
01:09 [dramatic music]
01:15 You feeling OK, man?
01:17 No.
01:18 Not really.
01:19 [dramatic music]
01:21 You followed him?
01:22 He could have killed you.
01:23 [dramatic music]
01:25 [clock ticking]
01:28 [gun cocks]
01:30 [dramatic music]
01:34 Saw the person that broke in.
01:36 [dramatic music]
01:38 Don't make any sense.
01:40 [dramatic music]
01:41 We got a lead.
01:42 A what?
01:43 We got a lead.
01:44 [dramatic music]
01:46 Helping and healing is actually what you want.
01:49 You really need to see it for what it is.
01:51 [dramatic music]
01:53 Don't I get to know who killed my son?
01:55 [dramatic music]
02:04 I assume you know the implications of this.
02:07 I know more than anyone.
02:09 What's the last chance I'll get?
02:12 [dramatic music]
02:13 I'm gonna do what's best.
