#FreeRayshawn s01e08 Episode Script
No Way Back
I just want to know what's happening!
What are you doing? What are you doing?
You don't understand.
Don't make me go off.
Chief Guillory. Madam DA.
- Lieutenant Poincy.
- Chief.
Detective Lincoln, we're gonna
have to stop meeting like this.
You're negotiating?
Lieutenant Poincy's in the
negotiator's chair this time
as per the subject's request and
the delicate nature of the standoff.
I'm coaching his efforts
to broker a surrender.
Well, that's a hell of an undertaking.
You got a wife and child in there?
Yeah, they're in there with him, Chief.
- Oh, Lord.
- Litigating his charges is off the table.
Understood.
That woman and child are in danger.
We're going to have to
accelerate this to an end.
He's claiming entrapment,
and he'd like to discuss
it with you, Madam DA.
He wants to talk? We can
talk when he surrenders.
He will not mount a defense with
this standoff and social media.
And why haven't we cut his phone?
It's in the works.
Prepare to cut the power!
Mommy.
Yes, baby.
What's happening?
Just play your game.
Okay?
I got candles.
You get that high score yet, little man?
Not yet.
All right.
You keep working at it, okay?
Baby.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Tay.
Baby, I love you.
I love you.
What's up!
Oh, my God, look!
Rayshawn is on the news!
We've got local news
interview on Rayshawn.
How come my five-year-old son
in the next room with his
mother dodging bullets?
They shot up our window, and
they tried to break down my door.
And now they cut the power off.
This whole day New Orleans Police
has been trying to kill me.
Are you planning on coming out?
I'm planning on keeping my family safe.
For the love of Jesus.
Someone find that cellphone
carrier and get his phone cut off.
It's a very tense scene out here
with a lot of concern
over your hostages.
Hostages?

- Excuse me.
I need to let our viewers know
that we've just gotten word
that the police officer
has died at the hospital.
- What?
- The identification of the officer
- is being held at this time
- Jesus.
while authorities notify the family.
A cause of death has not been given,

Guillory declined to comment.
Further details to come.
Rayshawn, will this change
how you handle this
Rayshawn? Are you there?

at the scene of an apparent
hostage situation,
taking place right here behind me
at an apartment complex in Central City.
And we have reported
