[dog barking]
[officer] Charles-20-Edward-one.
I got two nine-fives,

How do you want me to proceed?
[Kevin] Err on
the side of arrest.
[officer] 10-4.
[dispatch] 10-4, 11-0-Adam.
[officer] Sarge, you hungry?
Sarge, you know
crime stops whenever we're
hungry. It's time to eat.
-[car alarm beeping]
-[car whooshing]
Sarge, can you copy me?
[footsteps shuffling]
-Sarge, do you copy--
-[Kevin] I got another runner!
-[car alarm blaring]
-Get down!
-[dog barking]
-Stop running! Dro!
-[sheet rustling]
-[muffled hip hop music]
[man] Go, Dro, go, Dro!
[Kevin]
Get back, get back! Dro!
[muffled hip hop continues]
[Nick] Slow down! Hey!
[Kevin] Dro!
Stop!
[Nick] Sarge, come on!
It's okay, I got him, I got him.
A hundred bucks says I
run him down before you.
[hip hop music fading]
-[Miles] What up, Sarge?
-What's up, Miles?
I won that scratch-off.
-[Miles] Bullshit.
-No, I did.
[dog barks]
-[Dro muttering indistinctly]
-[upbeat hip hop music muffling]
-[distant dog barking]
-[shoes shuffling]
[fence clinks]
[Dro grunts]
[Dro panting]
On your fucking knees.
-[Dro] Fuck.
-Get on your fucking knees!
[Dro] Simmers.
[Kevin] Turn around.
Hands on your head.
Hands on your fucking
head, Dro. Interlace 'em.
You gotta find a new route, bro.
-Yeah. [panting]
-You got anything
-that's gonna stick me?
-Nah, man.
[Kevin] You got any drugs
on you today, Dro?
-[Dro] No.
-[Kevin] What's this?
-[Dro] Nothing.
-[Kevin] What the fuck is that?
[Dro] Man, it's
all I got, I swear.
Really? Then why'd you run?
[cuffs clinking]
I'll tell you what. I'll
make you a deal, just today.
I'm only gonna tag
you for selling,
not resisting arrest
if you tell my partner
[cuffs scraping closed]
I hopped that fence
and ran you down.
-For real?
-[Kevin] Yeah.
[Nick grunts]
[Kevin] Oh, look who it
is. Look who it is!
-Oh, the tortoise and the hare!
-[Nick panting]
-Where were you?
-Oh, I had him.
[Kevin]
You didn't have shit.
I'll tell you what
you can have though.
Here, Merry Christmas.
And boss did school me.
-Woo!
-[Nick] Bullshit.
-"Bullshit"?
-[Nick] He just went around.
[Kevin] No, tell him.
He jumped right over
that damn fence.
-Yep.
-[Nick] Really?
-Yeah, bro can hops.
-Really?
[Kevin] I'm the mack daddy,
don't be jealous.
You walk him outta here.
He got me all tired.
-Alright, man, respect.
-Ooh, you're fast, Dro.
-[Dro] I know.
-Woo!
-[Nick] Alright Dro, let's go.
-Don't worry,
I'll call your mom.
For real?
[Kevin] Yeah, I got
her on speed dial.
-[Dro] Hey, yo.
-It ain't like that.
How many times I
arrested you this week?
We're old friends,
she's a beautiful woman,
don't get me wrong, but I
ain't have feelings for her.
I'm a married man,
happily married, Dro.
[Dro] I hope not.

"70 miles west of Baltimore
"sits Hagerstown, Maryland,
"a small town
that shaped America.
"But with one state prison,
"and equidistant from
D.C. and Baltimore,
"Hagerstown is the major
stop on Heroin Highway.
-[indistinct radio chatter]
-[somber music continues]
"An unmistakable
weariness lives there.
"Like a slow train crash you
see coming but can't stop.
"You can get drugs there
in 60 seconds flat.
[eerie piano music]
Quicker than ordering a pizza."
This is what "The Baltimore
Gazette" thinks of us.
Baltimore.
Yeah, let's, uh, let's
welcome Deputy Dormer
from the Sheriff's Department.
He's gonna be joining
Kevin's task force.
Go take our city back.
-Have a good shift.
-[desk creaking]
[officers chatter indistinctly]
-[officer] Pfft, easy.
-50 bucks says
I got the first arrest.
-[officer] Bullshit, Sarge.
-[officer 2] Oh, yeah, sure.
-I'll take that action.
-[officer] Bullshit, bullshit.
-[officer 2] Let's go.
-Walk with me.
[Nick]
Welcome to Hub City.
Now, I don't know how you
dipshit sheriffs roll,
but I don't care if it's
10 kilos or one needle.
If they're breaking
the law, we book 'em.
-But no dirty shit.
-Yes, sir.
-[doors clanging shut]
-[Kevin] Clean hands make cases.
-[car starts]
-[dispatch] Copy [indistinct].
[Brooke]
Hands up, pig! [laughing]
[Kevin]
What's up, sweetie?
Who's the newbie?
Uh, Dormer, this is
my daughter, Brooke.
Don't believe a word she says.
Can I come?
You know what, alright, yeah.
Dormer, get in the back.
I want her to see this.
[Brooke] Yeah!
Get in the back, newbie,
[car doors clattering]
and maybe gimme your gun too.
[Dormer chuckles]
You want my daughter
defenseless?
You're jo-- [chuckles]
you're joking, right?
About my daughter's safety?
[distant birds chirping]
[Brooke and Kevin laughing]
-[Kevin] His face was stunned!
-[Brooke] What the fuck?
[Kevin] You were gonna give my
teenage daughter your gun?
You sheriffs really
are a piece of work.
That was a good one, baby.
-Thanks, Dad.
-[seatbelt clicks]
[dispatch] All units stand by.
[Kevin] You're high.
-[Brooke] I'm not fucking high!
-[Kevin] You are high as a kite.
You're high! LeBron is king.
Only rings make you king,
and Duncan has five.
He has five.
[indistinct radio chatter]
How's everything going with
Mandy and the apartment?
You guys staying outta trouble?
Yeah.
[Kevin] This isn't
high school anymore.
I don't want to catch
you too with weed again.
I know, Dad.
[Kevin] You know, sometimes
she leads to, uh,
you making wrong choices.
That is so not true.
-[Rosa] Hey.
-She's more responsible
-than I am.
-[Rosa] Hey.
-Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
-[Rosa] Hey, Simmers, Simmers!
[Brooke] Hey-hey, look who
it is, what's up?
Y'all got some meeting
in there, Simmers?
No, no, get your hands
off my cruiser, please.
[Brooke] Don't be an ass, she
just wants some food.
I've arrested this
woman like five times.
[Rosa]
Gimme something to eat, man!
[Kevin] I'm not-- I'm not a
fucking food pantry!
[Rosa]
Hey, yeah, forget then, Simmers.
-I know what you want--
-[Brooke] Shh, stop.
We don't have it,
we don't have it.
[Brooke] Can I get a Coke?
-Bring me change.
-Okay.
[car door clattering]
How's the newbie
doing over there, bro?
[Nick] He's already
flipping some girl
in the back to inform.
I guess the, uh, lady junkies
love them a sheriff, huh?
-[radio clicking]
-You jealous?
[Nick] And hey, uh, look, I
got one here only got needles.
He's maybe 20 years old.
If he's carrying,
book him, brother.
-[Rosa] Yeah.
-[Brooke] And a Coke.
-Yeah, you are my sunshine!
-[Kevin] Oh, come on.
[laughs] Yeah!
[soft somber music]
[soft somber music continues]
-[indistinct chattering]
-[soft somber music continues]
[Mandy] You want one?
[Brooke]
If only we had a bunch more.
[Mandy]
Where did you get all those?
Does it matter? How
many you take? One?
[Mandy] Yeah.
-[somber music continues]
-[pills rattling]
[chilling cymbals surging]
[somber music rings]
[phone vibrating]
Dude, your dad's just
gonna keep calling.
Where can we get more Percs?
-[door clatters]
-[Brooke squeals]
Fuck, my dad, my
dad, my dad, Mand--
[Mandy] Fuck, Brick, fuck.
Yeah, dude, just walk right in.
[Brick]
I know you're a thief, Brooke.
Where're my pills?
-[Brooke] I didn't steal shit.
-Hey!
[chair dragging]
Where are they?
Hm?
I don't have shit!
-[Brick] Hey!
-[chair clatters]
[Mandy] Brick!
-[bowl clattering]
-[Brick] What the fuck. Where--
Where are my pills?
Where they at, Brooke?
[Mandy] I didn't take them!
[Brick] I know you're fucking
lying to me, Brooke.
-Where are they?
-Okay, it was me. It was me!
I ripped 'em all, they're gone.
Let her go!
-[Mandy grunts]
-[soft chilling music]
[Mandy coughing]
[soft somber music]
[Lasinger]
Aight, see what they're doing?
They're stealing the car for
wire, flipping it for cash.
You hear about Dro?
Got 20 years.
What?
[officer] Easy to fix, come on.
I only tagged him for selling.
-[officer] Let's go.
-I know. Harsh, right?
-20 years?
-Yeah.
Well, he shouldn't have
been selling drugs.
Don't lose sleep over it.
[Lasinger]
Kevin, are you listening?
[Kevin] Yes, Captain, junkies
are stealing copper wire.
[officer chuckling]
[soft ominous music]
[Lasinger] All right,
let's get on this shit.
I'm tired of these phone calls.
Too many smart guys in here.
They're not that smart, alright?
See what they're doing?
-We're smarter.
-[dial tone ringing]
[voicemail beeps]
[Kevin] Hey, Brookie, it's
Dad, gimme a call.
-[door pounding]
-[voicemail beeps]
Why aren't you in
your apartment?
Call me back.
[soft somber music]
[voicemail beeps]
Brooke, you better
fucking call me now!
-[somber music continues]
-[water roaring]
I gotta call you 20
times for you to answer?
You better start talking now.
Hey, look at me.
Oh my God.
Baby, who did that to you?
I will fucking kill
whoever did this to you.
How do you
get off Percocet?
How long?
-A month or so.
-[Kevin] A month?!
You've been using for a month?
Can you help me or not?
Do you want help or you
just want outta trouble?
Jesus, Brooke, you grew up in
the, in the police station!
You're on our team!
How could you let
this happen to you?
[scoffs] Yeah, yeah,
no, you know what?
I'm actually gonna be fine.
I'm gonna stop on my
own, it's whatever.
[Kevin] No, you have to go
to drug treatment.
Fine, what's treatment?
[Kevin] It's-- It's-- It's a
treatment for drugs.
It's where you go.
I thought you'd have
me in handcuffs by now.
If I had 'em on me,
you're damn right.
[shoes shuffling]
-[Rosa] Simmers!
-Jesus.
[Rosa]
What you doing here, huh?
What, [chuckles] no bad cop
jokes today, huh? [chuckling]
Keep moving.
Oh, shit.
You got somebody in here
messed up, don't you?
[Rosa laughing]
Not so funny now,
is it? [laughs]
Simmer on, Simmers!
-[Rosa laughing]
-Yeah, fuck you.
Fuck you!
[Rosa] You tried to. [laughing]
I have a history with that
woman, don't worry about it.
How-- How'd it go, baby?
[Irene]
My name is Irene.
I'm one of
the health counselors here.
Uh, this is the address for
a substance abuse class.
-[Kevin] Okay.
-They'll be expecting Brooke.
-[Kevin] Alright, thank you.
-[paper crinkling]
Uh, Mr. Simmers?
Um, you're gonna need to
talk to her about her mother.
[Kevin] Dana?
She's not the problem;
she's a saint.
She's probably, probably having
coffee with Jesus right now.
I mean her birth mother.
-[paper slaps]
-Thank you.
-[Kevin snaps]
-What happened?
Drug class is full of losers.
[Kevin] If there's one loser in
this hallway, it's you
right now. You got a black
eye and Percocets
-in your tiny belly.
-[Brooke] Ah, shut--
[traffic rustling]
[Kevin] You wanna tell me who
did that to your face?
You know, Brookie,
the way things ended
with your mom and me, I don't
think I've ever really--
Yeah, she broke up with you
a month before I was born?
What else is there?
[Kevin] Wait a minute,
you gotta be shitting me.
This is where the cla-,
the drug class is?
This is where the fucking
druggies hang out!
-[Brooke] Wait a, don't--
-I busted that guy last week.
-[siren beeping]
-For fuck's sake--
-[Kevin] Hey!
-[junky] Holy shit!
-[Brooke] Can you not?
-[Kevin] Where you going?
[Brooke] Now people are really
gonna wanna share
with the fucking cop's kid, huh?
Come on.
[Brooke]
Fuck you. I fucking hate you.
[counselor] I wanna welcome
everybody
to this evening's group.
We've got a couple new people,
so I just want you to know
we're gonna be passing around
the One Day At A
Time coin, okay?
So as this coin comes around,
put your prayers in it,
put your love in it.
Put hope and strength
in it, and support.
[soft piano music]
If anyone's here and you
chose to be an addict,
I would ask you to
raise your hand.
Did anyone see addiction
coming in their life?
Did anyone plan on it?
Who wanted powerlessness,
unmanageability?
[addict]
And I became unrecognizable,
like you said, that
shame in the mirror.
[counselor] So, many of
you probably have families
that you can see it in their
eyes when they look at you.
[Kevin] Oh!
[counselor] You can see...
Alright, bruh.
...the idea that somehow you
chose the drug over them,
that their love wasn't enough.
That all the pain that
they're going through, watching
-you, breaks their heart.
-[indistinct dialog]
So the whole ripple
effect of that disease
-touches everybody.
-It's definitely a foul.
Get the fuck off.
[Naomi] There was a
revelation to me one day.
God said to me, "What
makes you think--
-[soft music rings]
-[Naomi sniffles]
[Naomi breathes deeply]
"What makes you think
"that you're more
self-righteous than me
and you can't forgive yourself?"
The drugs were not the problem.
The drugs were the
solution to my problem.
My problem is standing
here in front of you
and her name is Naomi.
You are a miracle sitting here
and God has a higher
purpose for you.
-[soft music]
-[waters rustling]
[Brooke and Kevin laughing]
[Kevin] Come on.
-[distant birds cawing]
-[soft music continues]
[soft music continues]
Whoa, what're you doing?
[soft music continues]
[Brooke mimics dog howling]
[Kevin mimics dog howling]
[Kevin and Brooke
mimic dog howling]
-[soft music continues]
-[wind whipping]
[Brooke mimicking dog howling]
[Brooke and Kevin
mimicking dog howling]
-[Dana] And Brooke established-
-[Kevin] Alright.
-Two dribbles-
-From there.
-[Dana] and then--
-[Brooke] You fancied that one,
-huh?
-Oh!
[Dana] Aw, dang it!
That's a H-O, baby.
[Brooke]
Oh, sorry, Mom, you're a "ho".
I always lose at
horse to you two.
-[Brooke] That's a "ho".
-You two always gang up on me
and plan matching outfits
and don't tell me about it.
Okay, don't, come on, babe,
no one likes a quitter.
You're a ho. I
love you very much.
[Dana laughs]
My turn, three pointer.
Alright, tell you what,
you make this shot,
I'll give you 50 bucks.
50 bucks?
-[Brooke] 50 bucks?
-[Kevin] Exactly.
Alright.
-Align.
-[Brooke] I'll get another one.
Hey, batter, batter, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
[hands slap]
Nice doing business
with you, sir.
Sure you don't wanna stay
over, watch the game?
No, I'm good.
Play ball next Saturday?
Yep.
And then Christmas in two
weeks, Dana's already cooking.
I'll be in there.
-Okay, gimme a kiss. I love you.
-[lips smooch]
[Brooke]
Love you, see you Saturday.
[Kevin] Be safe.
-[bird hooting]
-[bicycle wheels whirring]
[soft ominous music]
-[hands slap]
-[money crinkles]
[soft piano music]
[bicycle wheels whirring]
[soft ominous music]
[Brooke]
I feel a hole in me.
I'm not really sure why.
Sometimes I feel like
when the wind blows,
it just blows right through me.
And I don't wanna
feel like that.
[chilling music surging]
[eerie music surging]
[eerie music surging continues]
[door creaks]

[birds chirping]
-[backboard clattering]
-[hoop chains clink]
[bicycle bell chimes]
[bicycle whirring]
[birds chirping]
[basketball slams]
You wanna call her again--?
I'm not calling her again.
Let's eat. Let's eat.
It looks great, honey.
[phone vibrating]
-It's Brooke.
-[phone beeps]
Hi, sweetheart, are you okay?
Maybe she got scared.
She said she'll be
here. She'll be here.
-[distant traffic rustling]
-Kevin,
should we check her apartment?
It has to be her choice, Dana.
Kevin, is it possible
that she can't choose
for herself right now--?
I think that I know my daughter.
-There she is.
-Oh my god.
[Brooke grunts]
-Oh my god, oh my god.
-Stay here, stay here.
-[Brooke] No, no--
-[Brick] You can relax at my
-place. You have to--
-No, no, man--
-I got Percs, ampher's.
-I'm fucking dying.
-My skin's crawlin'--
-You're gonna get sicker
-if you go with the--
-[Brooke grunts]
-[Brick slams]
-[Brick grunting]
-Dad!
-[Brick] Fuck, man!
I'm trying to help her, man!
Do you know who the fuck I am?
[Brick] Yeah, let me go!
[Brooke] Dad, stop!
[Kevin] Go to Dana, get the
fuck outta here!
[Brick] God, I'ma press
charges on your ass!
I'll give you something to
press charges on, motherfucker.
-[knee slams]
-[Brick] Ah, fuck!
-[Brick groans]
-[body thuds]
[Dana] Brooke, no!
[Kevin] Hey, hey,
hey, no, no, no!
-[Dana] Brooke, please!
-[Kevin] Don't do this! Please!
[Brooke] Leave me
the fuck alone!
Brooke!
[Dana]
Oh my God, what do we do?
We have to go after her!
We can't chase her. We're
not gonna chase her.
No, we have to go after her!
-What?
-[Kevin] I'm not gonna--
What do you mean?
I'm not gonna chase
after her! Come on.
-[shifter cranks]
-[engine quits]
I'll call you if she shows up.
[car door clattering]
[car door slams]
[cicadas buzzing]
Edward-one for
Washington County.
[dispatch] Washington
County, Edward-one, go ahead.
My daughter Brooke is
in really bad shape
and, uh, she can't
help herself right now.
I really, really need
you guys to find her.
Even if you have to
arrest her, just do it.
Brooke Simmers,
white female, 19 years old.
[radio clicks]
[radio clicks]
5'4", blonde hair, green eyes.
100 pounds.
[radio clatters]
-[soft ominous music]
-[police radio alert beeping]
[dispatch] Washington
County, all units,
continue to be on the
lookout for a Brooke Simmers.
She's described as
number two female.
Hi, I'm really
sorry to bother you.
I'm looking for my daughter.
Have you seen this girl?
-[dispatch] Angel-one, clear.
-[radio static]
-Unit 14 clear.
-[soft piano music]
[Kevin]
I'm really sorry to bother you,
I'm looking for my daughter.
I have a picture of
her I could show you.
[soft piano music continues]
I'm sorry.
[Kevin] You've never seen
this girl, huh?
Never.
[Kevin] Never seen her face?
[doors clatter]
I'm not trying to bust
anybody, I'm just,
just looking for my daughter.
If you can just take
a look for a second.
[soft piano music continues]
-[soft dramatic music]
-[phone vibrating]
-[phone beeps]
-Talk to me, Dormer.
Where?
[soft music fading]
[distant dog barks]
[woman] Oh, wow, you show up for
the white girl, huh? [chuckles]
You know you drug cops? Y'all
the real gangsters, huh?
-Big gang. [laughs]
-[man chatters indistinctly]
-Sarge.
-[Kevin] How'd you find her?
You might wanna
give her a second.
What are you talking about?
-[Dormer] Sir, it--
It's not really her in there.
[Kevin]
Brookie. Hey.
-[car door clatters]
-Hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey,
what'd you take?
What'd you take?
Look at me.
Mom?
No, Brookie, it's Dad.
[soft ominous music]
Look at me, what'd you take?
[somber music]
Fuck.
What did you do?
[soft somber music]
[bicycle clatters]
[soft somber music rising]
[somber music surging]
[somber music softening]
-No, no, no, no, no, I need...
-[Dana] I, I don't understand.
-...to get her in a bed today.
-[Dana] Why we would take her
-off of Kevin's insurance now?
-[Kevin] Right fucking now.
[Dana] Kevin, will you
please stop cursing?
[Kevin]
What do you not understand?
Can you please repeat that?
-I'm so sorry.
-[Kevin] Three weeks!
Can you imagine-- Can you
imagine you called 9-1-1
and I said, "Okay, I'll
be there in three weeks."?
$1,500 a day?
-Oh- okay.
-[Kevin] She doesn't-- I'll,
I'll, I'll-- Put her on. She
doesn't know anything, but--
-[Dana] No, it's just so...
-[Kevin] Yeah, hold on,
-hold on a second, okay?
-[Dana]...expensive.
[Kevin] They need to hear your
information directly from you.
Come on, wake up,
snap out of it.
Let's talk to them.
Hello?
Dad, what's my insurance?
Maryland State Health.
Maryland State Health.
And my deductible?
You don't have one. There's
no de-- There shouldn't
-be a deductible.
-None.
-Does it cover injections?
-Oh my god.
What the fuck is the
point of talking to her?
She doesn't know any of this.
I'm her father, talk to me.
Okay, 2:00 PM,
you call me back,
and you better
have a fucking bed.
[phone beeps]
[phone clatters]
You know what, screw
this. We'll go--
We'll go check out some of
the 28-day treatment centers,
right? Let's go.
Dana, if that private house
doesn't call back at 2:00 PM,
you tell 'em that
Hagerstown PD's
gonna kick their
fucking door in,
and I'm not bringing cuffs.
Come on, put your shoes on.
[Kevin's hands clapping]
They've been here five years.
The actual house has been
fully renovated, and none of--
[Kevin]
Guys and girls aren't separated?
[guide] It's co-ed living.
One of the things that we
love the most is the garden.
[Doug] Women have this entire
floor, it's all theirs.
They, uh, they
really bond together.
They-- It's like they
become a family.
It's kind of beautiful
in its way, the recovery.
[electricity humming]
They sleep during the day?
[Doug] Well, one girl takes
the bed at night
and in the morning,
another lady takes over
and uses it for the day.
It doubles our capacity.
[soft piano music]
[car humming]
[basketball bouncing]
[Kevin]
You know, this was the hoop
you did your very
first layup on.
Must have been five, maybe?
[soft piano music continues]
That guy who pushed
you in the car,
is that who beat up your face?
[Brooke]
Interrogating me again?
[Kevin] Just asking
you some questions.
[hoop chains clink]
[basketball bounces]
[Brooke]
His name's Brick.
He gets the hook in girls
and then he uses us to sell.
Am I gonna get you fired?
You just worry about you.
Okay?
[phone vibrating]
Dana, please tell
me something good.
Yeah, okay.
-Okay, bye.
-[phone beeps]
A private home has a bed.
A private home has a
bed, in 10 days though.
Okay.
[Kevin]
But you gotta show up sober
or they won't take you.
Promise me.
I got you.
I hate you! [gagging]
[Dana] Okay, okay.
-[Dana] I got you, I got you.
-Get him outta here, please.
It ain't my fault
that you're sick.
-[Brooke] Yes, it is!
-[Kevin] That's bullshit!
How about that guy, Brick, that
gave you the fucking drugs
-in the first place?
-[Brooke] Oh, oh,
you, you big super cop, huh?
So what's next?
I want more all the
time, so what's next?
-What's next?
-[chilling music rising]
[Kevin] I'm gonna fucking kill
you when I get you!
[intense music]

Sarge?
[Kevin] Go around, I'm
gonna flush him out.

I want you fucking buried.

[footsteps shuffling]
[soft dramatic music rising]
-[Dormer] Whoa! Whoa!
-[Kevin] Jesus fucking Christ!
-Whoa, look--
-[Kevin] Where is he?
I don't know, I
thought you were him.
What the fuck, we had him, man.
Where did he go?
[Dormer] I, I don't know,
I'm sor-- I'm sorry.
Fuck!
-[Dormer] Are you okay?
-I'm fine!
We were right on him!
I had him!
[soft somber music]
[Dana] When you're not
with us, we're blue
Oh, Brookie, we love you
[soft somber music continues]
[Brooke] You're too nice to me.
[Dana] Some day, all of
this is gonna turn around.
[Brooke] I'm 19,
and I'm dying.

[Brooke whispering] Dad?
Dad?
Hey, how are you feeling?
Better. Better.
-[sniffs]
-[Kevin] You look better.
-[Brooke] Thanks.
-Back to life.
[Brooke chuckles]
[Brooke]
I'm really sorry, Dad.
I was a mess, huh?
[Kevin] Yeah, you were.
You're still a mess.
[Brooke sniffling]
Um, there's maybe one thing
that you can do for me though.
Anything, what?
Get me a few pills to get me
through this.
-Huh? Just a few pills--
-No!
[Brooke] No one will know.
Just--
-[Kevin] Absolutely not.
-Not the H, Dad, just Percs.
-No!
-[Brooke] Please, come on.
-Brooke, no.
-[Brooke] Dad, I'm so close.
-Please!
-That's fucking crazy.
[Brooke] I wanna get better,
I really do, okay?
[Kevin] Yeah.
But I'm hurting and it
doesn't feel good. Please!
Just a few more
pills, that's it.
And then it-- And it's all done.
And it's all done, right?
Just--
Come on, Dad, please.
Please.

Isn't that funny?

Hey. [whispers indistinctly]
Thanks, man, for
having me for a night.
[Doug] Ah yeah Bazzano told me
you were in a bit of a jam,
so I'll make you a deal.
-You're so cold.
-[soft chilling music]
You're so cold.
How is it possible
you're still shaking?
[Brooke]
No, I'm not, I'm fine, Doug.
I'm going to a private
house tomorrow.
-No--
-[Doug] Just relax.
-No, Doug, no.
-[Doug whispers indistinctly]
-[Brooke] I'm fine.
-Warm you up.
No, no, no, no, no,
please, I don't want--
It's alright, be cool.
Don't--
Doug, fucking chill.
I don't want to.
-Please, man.

Gimme your eyes.
Okay, look, pound this, okay?
Drink as much as you can.
When we get there, no

[Dana] Okay, sweetheart, it's

[Brooke shrieks]
-[Kevin] That's good.
-[Dana] I know.
-Okay, sweetheart.

[Brooke softly laughs]
-Woo!
-[Brooke giggles]
Yeah!
[counselor] Brooke
Simmers? You ready?
Yes, sir.
[Kevin] So I'm standing on
the side of the road
with this guy I
got for DUI, right?
His wife's coming to pick him up
and all he keeps saying is,
"Please, just let me
throw away my bag.
Please, just let me
throw away my bag!"
So I'm thinking, I gotta know
what's in this fucking bag.
Yeah. [chuckles]
I look in the backseat,
there's this garbage bag.
I'm thinking guns, drugs, right?
-You know what was in there?
-What?
-Pantyhose, thongs.
-Oh, sh--
The guy just didn't
want his wife
to know he's a cross-dresser.
Oh, she got off on him or?
No, I threw it away,
I felt bad for him.
What's going on here?
[fist slams]
[fists slam]
[fists pounding rhythmically]
[all together] Brooke, Brooke!
Brooke, Brooke, Brooke, Brooke!
-You had me, you had me!
-Brooke, Brooke!
Brooke, Brooke, Brooke, Brooke!
Brooke, Brooke, Brooke, Brooke!
Brooke, Brooke, Brooke, Brooke!
Brooke, Brooke, Brooke, Brooke!
-Brooke, Brooke, Brooke!
-Yeah!
-Brooke, Brooke, Brooke!
-Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
While she's getting
right in there,
we gotta do our part, okay?
Let's go clean up
these fucking streets!
-Let's go! Let's go!
-[all cheering]
[all together] Brooke,
Brooke, Brooke, Brooke!
-[police siren blaring]
-Brooke, Brooke, Brooke, Brooke!
Brooke, Brooke, Brooke, Brooke!
Brooke, Brooke, Brooke, Brooke!
-Brooke, Brooke, Brooke, yeah!
-[cuffs clinking]
[Dormer] Don't buy drugs in
Hagerstown, asshole.
Go to Baltimore.
-[sirens muffling]
-[train surging]
[dramatic music]
[officer] I got one
here who got needles.
[Kevin] Come on, I wanna fill up
the fucking jail
tonight, let's go.
[Lasinger]
He's coming for you, kid.
[dramatic rock music]
[indistinct muttering]
-[Kevin] Hey.
-[car door clicks]
You good for a few more busts?
Okay.
[Dormer]
What about you, boss?
You need to take a
break for a second?
I can be your pop-out
man if you need me to.
-[Kevin] No, no, let's go.
-[hands clapping]
You just keep delivering
those pizzas, alright?
[faucet water dripping]
[faucet water
dripping continues]
[knuckles knocking]
[dealer] Hey, what up?
What's wrong?
I guess I'm used to it.
-[gun clicks]
-[indistinct muffled dialog]
Here's your pizza.
Hands, hands, hands!
[electricity humming]
[bag crinkles]
[distant train horn blows]
[Dormer] Hey, Sarge!
-[Nick] Sarge!
-Stand down, stand down.
[Nick] What is it?
[Kevin]
This is all on you.
It doesn't matter that
she ran away. Why-- Why--
How'd you let her run away?
Why is she on my
fucking couch right now?
Because I pay you
thirty fucking thousand
dollars a month, that's why.
She made a mistake,
she's coming back.
If you do not let her back in,
you know the, the, the,
those fancy koi fish
you have in, in your, in
your, in your courtyard?
I will kill every single one
of those fucking koi fish.
Hung up.
You actually gonna
kill those fish?
No, I love those fish.
Go to your room, go to bed.
[Brooke] Goodnight.
Goodnight.
You two are addicted
to each other.
What is that supposed to mean?
She runs away so
you can save her.
So she runs away again so
you can save her again.
It's a cycle.
I don't know how
that's helpful, Dana.
I'm gonna go check on her.
I'll try not to
continue the cycle.
[shoes shuffling]
[Dana sighs]
-Dana!
-[dramatic beat strikes]
-[Dana breathing heavily]
-[911] Okay, what's your name?
[Dana] Oh my God, my name
is Dana Simmers.
It's my daughter. We think
she-- She's overdosed on a--
I think it's a heroin overdose
or something, she she she--
[911] Okay, you
think she overdosed?
[Dana] I mean, her
eyes are wide open,
but she's not moving.
[911] Okay, alright--
-Oh, please hurry.
-[911] Stay with us, okay?
[Dana] Please, hurry, oh my--
[911] Ma'am, are
you with her now?
[Dana] No, my husband is.
[911] How old is she?
[Dana] She's 19.
[heart monitor beeping]
[Nick] Sergeant.
-Hey.
-[Dana whimpers]
How's she doing?
She's sleeping,
thanks for coming.
[Nick] Of course.
Anything you need
from me, just say.
Okay.
[Kevin] I want anyone who
would sell heroin
to a 19-year-old girl.
That's what I want.
You should go in there,
ask for her phone,
get whatever dealer's
number sold to her last.
It can't be me 'cause that
shit will stink in court.
I can try, but sir, she
ain't gonna tell me shit.
[coffee pouring]
-[distant phone ringing]
-[distant people chattering]
[carafe clatters]
Tell her she's gonna die.
Tell her she has like
some kind of heroin poison
and she has two hours to live.
Are you out of your mind?
[Kevin] If she thinks this is
her last day on earth,
she'll do the right thing.
I know my girl, she will.
-I don't care.
-[Kevin] Well, you will
next time she tries to score
and the next dealer
is too afraid
of me to fucking sell
to her, you will care.
I'm done playing. Try.
[heart monitor beeping]
Hey, okay, how's she doing?
[Dr. Boone] She's good, I've
got her on an IV.
[Kevin] We need to get her
back in treatment.
Well, I can certainly
recommend some--
[Kevin] No, no, I need y'all
to handle the transfer
and we gotta go private.
[Boone] Well Kevin, she can stay
here tonight, of course, but--
Then you'll bounce her.
It's hospital policy.
She mentioned
committing suicide.
[Dana] She did?
Yeah, and now you
have to keep her
on a 72-hour hold, per
hospital policy, right?
Did she actually
bring up suicide?
[clears throat] I, I, I
wasn't there, so I don't know.
But I wouldn't be
surprised if she did.
I was there, I was in the room
and I can sign the affidavit
so I can do this shit
all night if you want to.
Fine. I'll start the paperwork.
What are you doing?
I'm keeping her alive.
[Nick] Sarge, Brooke wants
to talk to you.
Did you hear?
They're telling
me I'm gonna die.
I'm so, so, so--
-I'm sorry for everything.
-No, no, don't worry,
don't worry, don't
worry, don't worry.
[labored breath]
His-- His name is Daniel.
I had a few hits
hidden in my room.
His number's in there.
[labored breathing]
I didn't wanna be like this.
I didn't. [sobbing]
Come here, come here, baby.
-[Brooke sobbing]
-[soft somber music]
[somber music continues]
[Dana sniffles] Please, please,
I know you can make her,
[sniffles] make her well.
I'm scared. Please make
her well. [sniffling]
Don't worry. We'll nail him.
[Kevin]
Call me when it's done.
[soft somber music]
[Kevin] Hey.
How you feeling?
[Brooke] Better.
I really do feel better.
You look better.
I think you're gonna be fine.
[Brooke]
Did the doctor say anything new?
[Kevin] No, but you're a
Simmers, you know?
We're tough. We don't fold.
So I'm not gonna die?
No.
Doctors don't always know
everything, you know?
How long am I here then?
[Kevin]
Three days, then we can go home.
Dad?
[Kevin] Yeah?
I won't last a day back home.

You taking me home?
-[Nick] Brooke.
-[cuffs clinking]
I need you to put these on.
Wha-- What?
Oh, Nick, you're
fucking with me.
[cuffs clinking]
Nick, are you
fucking kidding me?
Gimme your wrist, Brooke.
-[Brooke] This is a joke, right?
-[cuffs clinking]
Nick, if you're actually
fucking arresting me--
-Let's go.
-My dad's gonna
kick your fucking ass.
-What the fuck, man, come on.
-[Nick] Let's go.
Nick, you're, you're
not actually putting me
-in fucking handcuffs, dude.
-Brooke!
What the fuck?
Let's go.
[Brooke]
Dad, Dad, wha-- What?
What the fuck is going on?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Nick, fucking let go of me, man.
-Let's go.
-Dad.
You're fucking with me, Dad!
Dad, I'm fucking sorry,
but you don't need to--
I can't go to fucking jail!
-[Nick] Let's go, stop, Brooke.
-You're fucking kidding me!
Dad, you're not-- This
isn't fucking real!
This isn't real!
[sobbing]
Nick, what the fuck, man?
You literally teach me
fucking basketball,
you commie man! No!
What the fuck, Nick?
The fuck?
[gate buzzing]
[gate clattering]
[distant prisoners
chatter indistinctly]
[gate clanks]
[prisoner] Cop's kid.
[Brooke]
You know what? Fuck you.
[prisoner chuckling]
Hey, I don't want no problems.
I don't want you to
calling 5-0 or nothing.
[prisoner 2] Woo-hoo!

I just wanna go home.
[Brooke sobbing]
I don't wanna do this
anymore. [sobbing]
-Yeah.
-[Lasinger laughs]
[Lasinger]
This don't work out for you,
you damn sure could be a model.
You a pretty
motherfucker, Dormer.
[officers laughing]
-[Dormer] Yeah.
-[Lasinger] Way to step up.
-Nice.
-Hey,
some dumb junkie
led me right to it, so.
[cameras clicking]
Alright boys, get in
here, you did this too.
-[officer] Yeah, nice work.
-[Nick] That's the shit,
Dormer.
Yeah, nice work, Davey, yeah.
-[Nick] Yeah, nice.
-[Dormer] Hell yeah.
-[officer] Woo.
-[officer 2] Let's go.
[cameras clicking]
[Kevin] I'm gonna go get 'em.
Who?
[Kevin] Brick, all of 'em-- I'm
gonna round 'em up.
By the time you get out,
you're gonna be able
to lick the pavement,
Hagerstown is gonna be so clean.
It's not gonna change me, Dad.
[Kevin] Well, that's why you
gotta keep fighting.
You fight in here
and stay sober,
and I'll fight out there, okay?
What about my friends?
You know Mandy's dad
won't even talk to her.
Please stop worrying about
anybody else's problems.
Just focus on you.
And do you know that
someone got raped
at the 28-day program?
Jesus. Who?
Just some girl.
[Kevin] Well, I'm sorry.
That's horrible.
But she's not your
responsibility.
[Brooke]
It would mean something to me
to help my friends.
It's important. They
deserve it more.
Why? Why would they
deserve it more than you?
[Brooke]
Because I got you.
And I know eventually
I'll get my together
because you'll hound
my ass until I do.
You're right.
[sighs]
One year.
One year what?
You stay clean one year,
and I'll build a house for you
and all your friends myself.
Now please help me go
round up these fuckers.
Gimme something.
[door knocking]
[Kevin] Emily Bazzano?
[distant dog barking]
Listen, it's about Brooke.
I need help, she--
[Brick] Don't you fucking
go to that door.
[Kevin] She really cares about
you and she misses you and--
[Brick]
No, no, no, no--
I'm her dad.
I was wondering if you could
help me help her, please.
She's not in a great place.
[distant dog barking]
How's she doing?
She's in jail,
you fucking idiot.
-Oh!
-[Brick] I told you not
-to fucking open it!
-Oh shit!
[Bazzano]
What the hell, man?
Fuck.
[Kevin]
Run away, you little cockroach.
I'm gonna cavity search
you with a baseball bat.
[Brick] Suck my dick!
Sit down.
Fuck you, dude.
Look, I would never hit a woman,
but you and that asshole
were the very first people
to ever stick a needle
in my daughter's arm.
Now your eyes are clear,
which tells me you don't
deal to feed your habit.
You deal for profit.
And your heart is
barely beating,
which tells me
you're cold-blooded.
But I've been doing this
my whole fucking life.
It's the only thing I'm good at.
So sit the fuck down.
[Bazzano]
Look, there's nothing here.
You can search all you want.
You're not gonna find anything.
[Kevin] You seem like a very
trustworthy person.
Oh, would you mind
if I have a gumball?
I love these. [chuckles]
Ever since I was a kid.
[lever clattering]
Oh, I don't have a quarter.
That's too bad.
[gumballs rattling]
Would you look at that?
[patting plastic]
What are these for?
Something tells me
you're not diabetic.
Brooke told me
about your promise
to build the house, it's--
[Kevin]
I gotta round up your patients,
ask 'em if they know this guy.
He strings girls out,
uses 'em to sell.
You seen him?
Mr. Simmers,
let's talk about Brooke.
[Kevin] We are.
This is her dealer.
Oh, no more drug dealers,
no more cushy job for you.
My son died of drugs.
Well, no disrespect,
I will not let
that happen to her.
Hmm, heroin's a
powerful trickster.
So am I.
[Irene] Mr. Simmers,
heroine don't care that I'm a
counselor, that you're blue,
that she's white.
It will take her soul
and feed it right
to the grim reaper.
Then help me get to him first.
I'll leave that with you.
-Kevin.
-[door clatters]
Imagine a plastic bag taped
around her head
all day, every day,
and the only way to breathe
is through a needle.
That's her fight.
[soft somber piano music]
[door clatters]
[soft somber music]
[soft somber music continues]
[gate clatters]
What the fuck?
Brooke loves me, you know.
I'm her real family.
Brooke loves people
that have dope.
[Dormer] Go crawl
under a bridge, scab.
What the fuck?
Her lawyer claimed there
wasn't significant evidence
to prove that the
needles weren't already
in the motel room...
-[Kevin] Ohh!
-...from a previous renter.
[Kevin]
Come on, that is such bullshit!
[Dormer] Yeah, but, [sighs]
how did you find the
needle so easy, sir?
Are you questioning
my integrity?
No, sir.
Brick buy her a lawyer?
That's my bet.
Always comes back
to him, every time.
[door clatters]
[Kevin]
Use the backboard.
I'm just shooting.
[Kevin]
You don't have any size.
You gotta work on
your fundamentals.
[guard] Cool it, boss.
I'm talking to my daughter!
I'm talking to you.
I'm on my side of the fence!
-[Brooke] Dad!
-[guard] Don't test me, man.
[Kevin]
What are you gonna do with that?
What, you gonna poke
me through the fence?
-Come over and try and poke me.
-[guard] Fuck you.
-[Brooke] Dad--
-[Kevin] Can you twirl that up
in the air and catch it too?
-Fuck you.
-Fuck you!
-[guard] Fuck you!
-[Brooke] Shut up!
-Fuck you!
-[guard] Fuck you!
-Shut up!
-[ball slams]
I like that spirit.
Now put that towards the basket,
maybe you'll get one in.
[Brooke] Fuck off.
[Kevin] I can't help you if
you won't tell me
who's fucking with you.
You're the reason I'm getting
-my ass kicked, Dad.
-What?
Bazzano has friends
that are cops.
-[laughs] Bazzano!
-[Brooke] She told me.
[Kevin] Sweetheart, cops use the
Bazzanos of the world
to get shit done.
-She doesn't know anything.
-[Brooke] Yeah? Yeah?
Every time you do
something out there,
I get my ass kicked in here.
So you tell me.
It's not 'cause of the cops.
Isn't Mom gonna come visit?
No, Brookie.
I'm sorry, you're stuck with me.
Yeah.
[Kevin] Now look, I'll keep my
name off the streets.
I'll be like a ghost.
What do you say we start going
after these dirty rehabs?
I say fuck 'em.

[Kevin] I love you.
[Mandy] No, I've never seen
him before, I told you.
[Kevin] Mandy.
[Mandy]
I don't know this fucking guy.
[Kevin] Be honest with me.
Jesus Christ, I don't
fucking know him!
[Kevin]
Mandy, you're safe.
I'm not letting this guy
touch you ever again.
[sighs] Brooke said he hurt me?
[Kevin] Well, I think she's
trying to help you,

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You were taking off a load
Heavy drinkin'
The world, it carries on
Your memories in songs
And your pictures on my wall
Are not forgotten
Goodbye
Dear friend

-[Brooke] Ow!
[Kevin] Dana's gonna take you

[officer] Calm down.
[Dormer]
We're about done here, sir.
-Good job.
-[officer] Hey, we're coming out

Check this out,
Brooke got out today.
-[man] Love you.
-[woman] I love you, baby.
[Dormer]
Oh wow, she looks great.
[Kevin]
Doesn't she look amazing?
Color's back in her
face, she looks happy.
Did I ever tell you
when, when, when, uh...
-[officer] Knock it off.
-...she was a kid,
she would hang out
at the police station
during my night shifts.
We used to joke it
was police daycare.
[chuckles]
She would try and stay up all
night, make sure I got home.
Make sure you get bloody before
all your slick
sleeves, you know?
Laugh, try to make
everybody laugh.
That's helped me a lot.
You gotta make sure
everybody gets home.
What's going on, Sarge?
I've just been thinking with,
with Brooke getting out,
I'm probably gonna
step back a little bit.
You are a really good
cop and you're a leader.
And without you and the guys,
I don't know what
I would've done.

And it was Friday afternoon,
they were closed for
the weekend and I,
I couldn't get ahold of you.
Why didn't you pay cash?
[Dana] It was $2,100.
[Brooke] It's fine, I'll take
that stupid Viv-,
whatever it's called, on Monday.
-Vivitrol.
-[Dana] Vivitrol.
Can you learn how
to say it? Vivitrol.
You're gonna be
okay all weekend?
Yeah, it's not like I'm
going anywhere, right?
[Kevin]
Get off your computer, come on.
It's your first night out.
Come watch the game with me.
I was just texting
Mandy and some NA girls.
You know, they're already
talking about the house.
What house?
You know it's gonna be a

She was clean six months,
it must have been laced.
That's why her body
couldn't handle
what was a normal

She died because she was clean?
She was just sick, Sarge.
[Kevin]
Ain't no one sick as Dormer.
I mean, this guy is-- This guy's
using his badge to fuck girls?
I can't stop thinking about,
do you think maybe he was,
do you think maybe he
was messing with Brooke?

agreement for four years in a

Ms. Emily Bazzano.
[Emily] Oh, that's me.
[Stetson]
Sergeant Kevin Simmers,
do you agree to this plea deal?
Your Honor, what are
you doing this Sunday?
Seeing your daughters?
I'll be at High Rock Dam
visiting my daughter's ashes.
That girl sold drugs that led
to the death of a human being.
She kicked my daughter
off a porch like a dog.
[Stetson] Sergeant Simmers,
we understand--
I have bled blue my entire life!
But I gotta tell you,
when it was a black man
with dreadlocks named
Dro, he got 20 years,
and nobody had died!
I agree to nothing
until Sheriff Deputy Dormer
is in this room on trial.
[Stetson]
Sergeant, are you about done?
[Kevin] And you know who else
should be on trial?
-[Stetson] Who?
-Me.
I love my daughter to death.
I think I loved her to death.
I, I, I--
I tried everything I could
think of to, to ease her pain.
I, I, I, I took her to rehabs
thinking, "this is where
you're supposed to get sober?".
This, this, this, this dump?
I'd rather she be in jail.
And, and so I tried that too.
It obviously didn't
work, but I tried it.
And I, I just couldn't--
I couldn't defeat it.
Your Honor, I couldn't
defeat it for her.
[hand slapping]
[soft somber music]
She was 19 years old.
This was just the beginning.
[Stetson] Sergeant, again, I'm
terribly sorry for your loss.
[Kevin whimpers]
The court hears you. Your
words are duly noted.
I'm afraid we must continue.

Okay, okay, I got you, okay?
Okay, I got you,

Dana, no.

Take that off, take it off.
Nice and easy, you came

-Don't worry, alright?
-[Mandy] Thank you.
[Kevin] Don't thank us,
we're not doing this.
Come on, Dana, no--
-[Mandy] No, listen to me--
-No.
[Mandy] I-- I told
Brooke the night,
I, I told her to go home.
Brook's dead, Mandy, so--
[Mandy]
No, the night she died,
I told her because
she called me!
[Dana] Don't worry
about that now, sweetie.
Wait, you talked to
her the night she died?
-What happened?
-[Dana] Please, Kevin,
-what does it matter?
-It matters to me.
What-- What-- What happened?
What did she say
the night she died?
-Was she with Dormer?
-[Mandy] She couldn't, no, no--
Was something going
on with Dormer?
-[Mandy] No, she couldn't--
-[Kevin] She couldn't what?
Speak! She couldn't what?
She couldn't get
away from Dormer?
She couldn't let you down again.
She said she couldn't
let you down again.
That's what she told me.
-That's not true.
-[Mandy] Yes.
-I told her--
-That's not true.
-You, you're--
-[Mandy] No, I told her
-to go home.
-You're a fucking liar.
-That's not true.

And I can tell you that
the old way is fucked.
Well, that's not what we're
doing. This isn't just beds!
Sorry, the old way is not good.
You know, they're just gonna
spit you out in 28 days.
I'm trying to make
something new here.
This is-- This is gonna
be work programs.
No, no one has ever
trusted these girls.
That's-- That's the whole
point, I'm gonna trust them.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna
trust them with a-
at a cash register
because I'm gonna,
you gotta break
the cycle, right?
I watch "Shark Tank",
they're always talking about,
"What problem are you solving?"
Well, I'm, I'm solving--
I'm solving a problem.
No, no, no, I'm a, I
was a, I was a cop.
I don't, I don't have any,
I don't have any
business training.
I know how rich
you are. [chuckles]
No, I Googled, I Googled.
We wouldn't be talking if you
weren't someone who's been,
who's been blessed by the Lord.
Hello, Rabbi,
hopefully the first one

Wouldn't it be exciting,
eh, for your legacy?
This is a fast-moving train

The office here is humming.
I mean, every day
there's another,
there's another cubicle
that's going in.
We got so many
people working here.
Can you guys be quiet please?
Sorry, but like I said,
there's not, it's not,
there's not money to be made.
This isn't about making money.
This could be one
of the greatest
things to happen in your life.
I'd love you to be in
for about a hundred,
a hundred, a hundred grand,
150 grand, 200 grand somewhere.
So what do you say? Yeah.
[Dana]
You gotta tell her story.
-I don't wanna do that, Dana.
-[Dana] Neither do I--
Okay, but, but you, but,
but really do call me back.
Don't just say that.
Do call me back.
And you got my number
if you change your mind.
How the-- How the hell
am I supposed to know
you're going through a divorce?
Okay, you're headed, uh--
What's a "bris", exactly?
And you do that right in, in,
right in there in
someone's house? Wow.
I can understand why
that might be happening
'cause you sound like a
bit of a fucking asshole.
-You promised her!
-[Kevin] I made it up!
I was lying. It
was a stupid lie.
Not to her!
Well, just don't,
don't say, "no".
I mean, just think about it.
You could think about it, okay.
Alright, thank you.
Fuck. Fuck.
Fuck.
Well, you can tell me
you're thinking about it,
even if you're not...
Just say you're fucking
thinking about it.
Well, fuck you too.

[Kevin] Can I help you?
I'm your congressman,
David Trone.
Nice to meet you.
[hands clasp]
I heard about this guy
who gave it pretty hard
to an ignorant judge,
right in his own courtroom.
I hear that judge
was a dickhead.
I lost a nephew a few years ago.
Ian, 24 years old.
Died alone in a hotel room.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I'd sent him to every 28-day
house you can think of.
He'd get clean,
but then he couldn't get a
job because of his record,
so he'd use again.
And around and around.
And I have daughters.
What's gonna make your
house any different?
You know,
I don't think my
Brooke loved drugs.
She just didn't like
herself very much.
And I didn't know
how to handle that.
I'm not a businessman.
I'm not a drug counselor.
I'm just some dad.
But I'm gonna treat these girls
like every single one
of them is my daughter.
I'm gonna treat
'em with respect,
I'm gonna hold them accountable,
and most importantly, I'm
gonna give them some purpose
so that maybe they can
find some self-respect
for themselves.
See, I'm, I'm not trying
to get these girls clean
for when they walk out the
door. That doesn't work.
I'm trying to get
them clean for life.
-[birds chirping]
-[wind rustling]
This is a personal check.
Good thing I'm rich.
And you'd already signed it!
Had to make sure you
weren't full of shit.

We don't have time
to fix your makeup.
Looking good, is that a rental?
Mine's a rental.
If I get it back Monday,
I get a discount.
You two, stop flirting, you're
both married, I see you.
[Lasinger] Come on, Kev, you
could get me in trouble.
[Kevin] Hey everybody.
By the way, have you seen Rosa?
Rosa's supposed to
be greeting guests.
I said black tie, that's maroon.
[groom] Dude, I'm the groom.
I love your hair
like that, Mallory.
That's very pretty. Keep
it like that I think.
[Mallory] Thanks, Kev.
No boyfriend still?
I got a guy for you,
I'll set him up.
[soft violin music muffling]
[indistinct crowd chattering]
[soft uplifting music]
[soft uplifting music continues]
Thanks, Kev.
I'm so proud I got to
be the one to walk you.
I always have a gun on me.
-Get out. [chuckles]
-[hand slaps]
Go sit down.
[soft uplifting music rising]
[Dana] You okay?
[soft uplifting music continues]
[car rustling]
[car door clatters]
[car door shuts]
[Kevin] Hey Rosa.
I was looking for
you at the wedding.
You use today?
Got a year clean.
Just moved into your own
place, what happened?
Ain't never lived by
myself in 30 years.
I was alone.
Well, what do you
say we get you back
to Brooke's house, start over?
No, I can't let you down again.
Hey.
You know I'm pretty
sure I gave Brooke
whatever she had in her,
whatever, whatever
made her keep chasing,
'cause I got a little of
that in me too, you know?
Nothing's ever enough.
[soft music]
Sometimes I think I
can still save her.
I know that sounds
crazy, but I do.
Rosa, as long as
you keep trying,
you'll never let me down.
[soft music continues]
-Guess what.
-Mm-hm?
I brought you something
from the wedding,
a bad piece of chocolate
covered strawberry.
[Rosa chuckles]
People are attacking
'em like hyenas.
I said my girl Rosa's gonna
want one with milk chocolate.
-Ooh!
-I have six of 'em
-in the car for you.
-Ooh, good.
[Kevin]
Milk chocolate, dark chocolate.
I even brought you one with
a little white drizzle.
[Rosa] Oh, you know I love
me a white drizzle.
[both laughing]
[Kevin] You crack me up,
get up in there.
-[Rosa laughs]
-[Rosa sighs]
There's a guy in Robinwood
whose daughter's
having some trouble.
You mind rolling
with me for a second?
[Rosa] Yeah, I gotchu.
Hey, you gonna get
out that tux first?
Heck no, I'm like the James Bond
of fighting addiction, baby.
[Rosa laughing]
[Kevin mimics dog howl]
[Kevin and Rosa
mimicking dog howl]
[Rosa laughing]
[soft music rings]
[basketball bouncing]
[soft uplifting music]
[engine starting]
[soft uplifting continues]
Come on, Daddy!
[person filming laughing]
That's Brooke,
baby, that's Brooke!
[real-life Kevin] 'Cause we're
never gonna win this war
as long as the drug is more
accessible than the treatment.
-One, two,...
-[man] Two--
-[Kevin] Three.
-[cameras clicking]
[crowd applauds and cheers]
[Kevin] There was miracles
building Brooke's House
and there's miracles happening
there every single day.
You're seeing lives change.
God bless you, Brooke.
I feel you, and I love you.
The community
responded in a fashion
like I've never seen before.
Without the support, this
never would have been possible.
At Brooke's House, we try to
give you occupational training
and job skills while
you're a resident there.
[real-life Dana]
The real purpose behind them is
to give the ladies a purpose
and doing something to
contribute to society.
[Kevin] Ah we can move anything,
man, come on.
Brooke's House girl power!
[all] Brooke's House!
[Kevin] We have at least
100 success stories.
We have girls that
have graduated
that are now bankers
or school teachers.
We have girls who have
their children back
in their life,
restored their faith.
Because the people
like this empower me
and will be there with me,
and pushing me to be the
best version of myself.
Empowered me to do
different things
that I didn't even believe
in myself back then.
[man] Get the script, y'all
are rewriting it.
[people laughing]
[Kevin]
You never stop being a cop.
I mean, you can retire, but it
becomes part of who you are.
Everybody here, they
all supported me,
even though they might not
believed it was gonna happen.
[man] This is the kind of
camaraderie you have to have
and you have to be
able to joke and laugh.
It's those friendships
that carry it.
[David] You know, they're doing
the hard work day to day.
I'm just trying to drive the
funding and the awareness.
We need to get people to realize
that they can make a difference.
[Kevin] I mean, a lot of
people are just,
"What do you know
about recovery?
What do you know about ladies?
What do you know about
running a nonprofit?
What do you know
about raising money?"
And I said, "I really don't
know, but I'm gonna try."
["In My Mind"

[uplifting rock music]
[Brooke mimicking dog howling]
[uplifting rock music continues]
I've been, I've
been in my head
I've been so obsessed
Lately I'm a mess
Circles, circles in my brain
I must sound insane
But good girls
don't complain
I just say some things,
things I don't mean
So I bite my tongue,
sit and overthink
The shit I say, stupid crazy
Round and round in my brain
I get so in my head when
it gets late at night
I have to leave the bar,
didn't think I was fine
So ran all the way home in
my dress that's too tight
But it's all in my mind
It's all in my mind
I've been, I've
been losing sleep
I've been having dreams
Of monsters chasing me
Call you, call
you on the phone
Leave my message at the tone
So that I'm not so alone
And I still say some
things, things I don't mean
So I bite my tongue,
sit and overthink
The shit I say, stupid crazy
Round and round in my brain
I get so in my head when
it gets late at night
I have to leave the bar,
didn't think I was fine
So ran all the way home in
my dress that's too tight
It's all in my mind
This car is slowing down,
trying to give me a ride
I guess girls really can't
walk alone late at night
I just had to get out,
didn't look at the time
But it's all in my mind
It's all in my mind
Oh, oh-oh
It's all in my mind
