Hey, Ma.
Ooh. You look beautiful. I love that color on you.
Here. You're late.
- Love you, baby. - Love you, Mom.

Nah, I got plans with my girl.
[player 5] Man, just say you hanging out with Aaron Hernandez.
[player 6] Get the fuck out of here, bro.
Let's go. Come on.
- [car door closes] - [Odin] All right, man. Good night.
Wow.
My sister's told Aaron all about you.
He's gonna love you, okay?
I mean, I do.
I know. It's just...
I never met a superstar before, you know?
Come on, Odin.
Aaron doesn't bite.
[Shayanna] Sorry. I don't know where Aaron is.
[music playing, muffled]
[Ortiz] Tell 'em, bro.
Who set you up with this place?
Yo, it's nice, right?
You ever heard of Kraft? Kraft Mac & Cheese?
I don't think he owns Mac & Cheese.
[Ortiz] Shut the fuck up, bro. Yeah, he do, bitch.
- Fucking has all these... - [phone buzzing]
- [partygoers laugh] - Fuck. Yo, I gotta take this.
All right. Turn this shit down.
I said fucking quiet!
[inhales deeply, clicks tongue] Hey, what's up baby?
[Shayanna] I told you about dinner with my sister. Where the hell are you?
Yeah, I'm just... I'm with the boys. We're chilling.
You haven't been home in three days! Get your ass home now!
[grunts, inhales sharply]
[Aaron sighs] All right, uh,
stay put.
- If you see anything, all right? - All right.
[Shaneah] ...crim law.
I get to apply for this Justice System Reform Clinic next year.
[Shayanna] Oh, my gosh. My little sister is gonna change the world.
Hey, hey, hey.
- What's up, baby? - Mmm. Hi.
- What's going on, sis? - [Shaneah chuckles]
How you doing? You all right?
Good to see you.
Uh. Aaron, this is my boyfriend, Odin.
- What's up, man? - Hey.
You good?
Sorry, I'm late.
Hey, don't worry, man. It's all good.
It's great to meet you.
Damn, Shay. This food looks good.
[Odin chuckles]
So you, uh, you excited for the season?
Yeah, yeah. Hey, you mind passing me the wine?
[Aaron grunts]
[Odin clears throat]
- [Odin clears throat] - Uh, Odin plays football too actually.
Oh, no shit?
Well, I'm semipro. It's a team out of Boston called the Bandits.
Just a club team. We don't even get paid.
- Did you play in college? - A little.
I had to drop out of Delaware State when my mom lost her job.
Uh, Odin's a linebacker.
A really good one too.
I actually study a lot of your games.
You know, try to pick up tips on how to cover the tight end,
but I don't learn much, you know,
'cause no one can cover you.
[all laugh]
- Hey, it's true. It's true. - [Odin chuckles]
Uh, so, you play for free?
Yeah. I actually pay them. It's 200 a year just to suit up.
Yo, that's some love of the game shit right there.
- [Odin laughs] - Nah, for real, for real. I respect that.
I respect it.
He's handsome and funny,
but more than anything, he's just a good person, you know?
- Yeah. - He's kinda got my heart.
That is a really good feeling.
Things any better since California?
Yeah. We're fine.
Come on, Shay. I can see at dinner.
He's never here.
Sometimes he doesn't even come home to sleep and he's messed up all the time.
Is that what you wanna hear?
No. Of course not.
Hey, where does he go?
I don't care anymore. [scoffs]
- He does what he wants. - [sighs]
So cool.
[Odin whispering] Oh!
So, how'd you hook up with Né?
I was working construction at her law school.
Construction, huh?
Gotta pay for the pads somehow.
[chuckles]
- Take it. - What?
For real, man. I got so much shit.
I saw you looking at it. That should pay for the pads.
[chuckling] Nah. Nah.
This... This is yours, man.
Hey, man, you straight. A lot of people would've pawned that off already.
You know, Florida, that was the best fucking time of my life.
Mmm.
- We didn't get paid for that shit neither. - Hey.
Oh, hey. I brought something. I heard you like to smoke.
Look at this motherfucking hoarder holding out on me.
Hey.
Sheesh, you all right, O.
[Odin] Come on.
Smells good. Wanna play some Madden?
- All right. I'm the Patriots. - All right.
Don't do that shit where you're running slants the whole time.
I hate that shit. You feel me?
[Odin] Mmm.
- [Tanya] It sounded like a late night. - [Aaron chuckles]
It was nothing too crazy. It was, uh...
We got dinner with Shay's sister and her boyfriend.
- Oh, what... what's he like, the boyfriend? - He's cool.
- Yeah? - Yeah, he's cool.
He fits in with us, and, uh, I'm... I'm hoping he sticks around.
- That's great. - Mmm.
What's up with you?
[clears throat]
- Nah, I'm just not feeling good. - Oh.
That's what I wanna talk to you about.
Can you sit?
Oh, what you need? I can run out and get you an aspirin.
It's not a headache.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
I got cancer.
All right?
What? You want me to yell it to the rooftops so my fucking kids can hear.
[whispering] Jesus.
[kids clamor in distance]
Like where?
The left one.
I started chemo last week.
You started... When the hell were you gonna tell me?
- Well, you got enough to worry about. - Nah, fuck that.
What do you need? Like we can get you-- I can get you anything.
- You need good doctors? You-- - No, I-I got... [chuckling] ...doctors.
- Okay. What did they say? - They don't know.
[stammers] It's kind of spread.
I mean... [stammering] ...look at you. You're okay.
Right? Like...
Like... You know... You're gonna be okay.
Tanya?
Uh, yeah.
Yeah. [stammering] You know, I'm gonna be fine.
Everything's gonna be fine. I just, um...
I just wanted to tell you before my hair started falling out and shit.
You just quit worrying, all right?
'Cause... [stammers] ...I'm not going anywhere.
You know, I'm still the toughest Hernandez there is.
[sniffles]
Shit.
[phone rings]
- Hey, what's up, Murph? - Hey.
- You someplace you can talk? - Uh.
- I can listen. - Okay.
Um. Well, we got a problem.
Uh, Bradley's lawyer officially filed a civil suit.
I told you I'm not paying anything.
Oh. [stammers] You don't have a choice, Aaron.
Don't you get it?
Do you really want some guy with one eye telling the world
that you shot him in the face?
The team will cut you. The League will suspend you.
I cannot protect you if this gets out.
Whose fucking side are you on, Murph?
Yours. Always yours. Which is why I am telling you, let me settle this.
It's worth what you make in endorsements.
You can walk away, and you can just go back to playing football.
It's what you're good at.
[softly] Fine. Fine.
Fine, fine, fine.
- Fine. - Okay.
Fuck!
[gunshots from video game]
[Shayanna] Aaron?
Aaron, are you down here?
Oh, my God, Aaron.
I heard about Tanya.
- Yeah? - Yes. Why didn't you tell me, Aaron?
I did.
No, I would've remembered.
[video game stops]
- Yeah. I mean, you know how I forget shit. - [inhales deeply]
I'm sorry.
No. No, no, no, I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- Yeah, it's fucked up. - Hmm.
She's, like, the most loyal person I've ever known.
- You know, she'd do anything for me. - Mmm.
[inhales sharply]
Ain't nobody like her.
[Shayanna sighs]
I'm loyal.
[Shayanna clears throat]
Né and I are going to see Odin.
When? Where?
He has a game today. You wanna come?
Whoo! Let's go!
What number is he?
Fifty-three. Right there.
There he is. Let's go, Odin! Let's go!
Let's go, Odin!
Looking good, O!
This is awesome.
Whoo!
Let's go!
Shit. He's on the tight end.
He's jumping it. Pick it off, pick it off!
Yeah! Let's go!
Attaboy, pimp! [laughs]
Let's go!
- Okay, I'm gonna go to the field. - That's right.
Yo! Look who it is!
Hey, what up, O?
Yo.
Hey, good game, y'all.
That shit was tight. Good game.
Good game. Good game.
Yo, bro, I can't believe you came.
Of course, man. I gotta check it out.
Like I said, "It's not the NFL."
Nah, man. You a baller. You balling out there for real.
You know, sort of feels like I'm waiting for my dad to pull up and drive me home.
You know what I'm saying?
- Yo. Can we get a pic, bro? - Yeah.
- You ain't gotta do that, man. - No, man. It's your teammates. Of course.
- Come on in. - Hey, hey. Come on. Come on.
[player 7] There we go.
[player 8] All right, man.
[player 9] Thanks, bro. One more. Patriots!
It was so cool you came out.
Yeah. Of course, man.
Hey, listen, what you doing tonight?
Uh, I'm stepping out with some of my boys.
I think we're going to the Rumor Lounge. You wanna come?
Oh. I would love to, but I have work early tomorrow.
- Oh, what? Construction? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Twelve-hour shift.
Nah, nah. Hold up. Hold up.
I'm not gonna lie to you, man. That sounds like it sucks.
So I'll tell you what. Here's a G.
You call in sick tomorrow. You come out with me.
Yeah.
- Yeah. Don't question it. Come on. - [Odin laughs]
- It's all right. Let's go. - Whoo-hoo. Yay.
Get that cough ready when you call your employers tomorrow.
Hey, Né. I got O for the night.
[scoffs] You better bring him back home in one piece.
- [Aaron] Yeah. - Where are you going?
Taking my boy out.
[R & B music playing]
- [Julie] Some shots for my boys. - [Bo] Hey, that's what I'm talking about.
- Take this. Take this. For you. - Yeah.
Thank you, Julie.
Everybody say, "Thank you, Julie." To Julie.
- Thank you Julie! - To Julie!
Yeah!
[Julie] You're welcome.
[Aaron] Mmm. Oh.
- This is insane. - Mm-hmm.
Hey, you want some of this?
I'm cool.
It's not coke. This is, uh, dust.
I usually smoke it with my weed but in a pinch.
Oh.
Damn.
Burns like shit, but it makes everything fucking fun.
- Big boy! - Get that! Get it, boy!
Hey!
What's going on, everybody?

Mmm. See, this is the shit that I was talking to you about.
Do you like pussy, nigga?

He's just a little whipped. [grunts]
- Né got him on a leash, huh? - Yeah, a little bit.
But, yo, this place sick.
Yeah. Yeah, man.
Listen, the team tells me to relax...
so I do.
[grunts]
Do you want some of this?
Take one. Huh?
I'm good, bro.
You know? These are gifts. That's right.
Gifts from the team.
[grunts]
Yo, what's... [chuckling] ...wrong?
Now my-my hand just feels like...

It's like you're not, like, a human being.
Maybe you should take it easy, bro.
[partygoer] Hey, baby.
Hey, hold this.
Yo, I wanna show you something. Check it out. Come on, stand up.
You ready?

Look at that.
You ever shoot before?
- No, not for real. - No?

So what do you need all this for?
It's protection.
From who?
Oh, I got...
You don't even fuckin' know the half of it, man.
I got...
There's people I can't trust, man.
I got a friend and, uh, he's like-- he's like a brother--
- Hey, Aaron. - And he was like--
Now, listen, he was like a brother to me.
- Now, listen, we got into some shit. - [Bo] Aaron.
Like, some real shit. And now he wants to take everything I got.
It's fucked up, man. I fucking hate it.
But, you know, now I'm armed.
I'm fucking ready.
That's it, man. That's it. Hey, we gotta go, bro.
Yeah. Maybe I-- Maybe I should go too, huh?
No, no. Come on. We can hang.
If they wanna leave, they can be fucking pussies if they wanna leave.
- Bye. - [Bo] Bye.
No, man. Come on. Chill out. Chill out.
Let's hang out.
It'll be... [chuckling] ...fun.
Come on.
[Aaron] You know?
You gotta find people you can trust though.
You know that someday we could be brothers?
Whoo!
- Ain't that crazy? - [chuckles]
- That shit's tight. - That's cool!
- Yeah. That's so cool. - [laughs]
Do you love her?
Who? Né?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm ready.
Ready for what?
To ask her to marry me.
Damn.
Wow.
How long y'all known each other?
Long enough to know.
Yeah.
[inhales sharply] I love Shayanna too.
[huffs]
You know?
Know what?
What?
You said, "You know?"
[stammers]
[Odin chuckles]
[chuckling] Oh, shit.
Oh. Odin, Odin.
You know? I'm a real piece of shit.
What? Nah, man. Come on. That's...
What's that... What's that mean? That's crazy.
No.
You know, I don't want you to fucking hate me for this.
You're cool, man.
You know, I wish I was...
Sometimes, I just wish...
I was more like...
Aaron?
[Shaneah] Big night?
I waited up for you.
- And waited and waited and-- - I know, baby. I should have called.
Should have?
Né, don't worry, okay? I didn't do nothing.
Listen, I'm not my sister, okay? I won't put up with the shit he does.
Whoa, it wasn't like that.
It wasn't like that.
- [scoffs] Yeah, okay. - Come on. It wasn't. Babe, look...
I couldn't leave him like that, okay? He was too fucked up.
- [scoffs] - Okay?
Like, listen, I... I like to get high and shit,
but this dude is no fucking joke, man.
Like, you're worried about me. I'm worried about him.
And some of the shit that he said.
Oh, yeah? Like what?
[whispering] Like, I don't even know.
But I tell you this, the dudes that he hangs out with, they don't give two fucks.
[whispering] Hey.
- Where were you, guys? - His place.
- And Shay wasn't there? - The other place.
What other place?
Maybe it wasn't his place.
What other place, Odin?
Odin?
[phone buzzing]
[grunting]
Oh, shit.
Hey, Coach.
Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'm on my way.
[Shayanna] Aaron,
what is this place?
- Hmm? - Uh.
Ortiz and Wallace. [stammers] They got a spot here.
- Right. - Yeah, they do.
Yeah, 'cause they could afford some place like this.
[stammers]
How did you...
How did I know?
Is that what you care about?
How did I know?
[whispering] Aaron.
[Shayanna breathing heavily]
Wait. Shay.
- Wait, how? - [sniffles]
How?
'Cause you finally shit too close to where you fucking sleep, Aaron.
Not every man is a fucking liar like you.
Odin?
Are you talking about Odin?
She is my sister.
You don't think she's gonna tell me?
What did she say? What did he tell her?
- Hey! Hey! - Everything!
She told me everything!

Listen, man, I don't know what's happening.
- Man, you really fucked me up, O. - If I did, I'm sorry.
Yeah, you're fucking sorry.
[Odin sobbing] Come on, man. This don't make no sense.
I gotta know that I can trust you, O.
You can, you can, you can.
Nah, if that were fucking true,
then...
[grunts]
...then Né wouldn't be running her fucking mouth to Shay!
I didn't say nothing!
- She showed up to the fucking house, O! - I didn't know it was a secret.
- Don't fucking lie to me! - I'm not, man!
Don't you fucking lie to me!
- Come on. - Come on, man.
If we're gonna be f... If we're gonna be family, I gotta know I can trust you.
You can. You can.
Oh, you slipped up.
So what else you slip up on?
Nothing. I promise, okay? All I mentioned was the pad.
I didn't say shit about anything else.
What the fuck do you mean "anything else"? What do you mean? What else?
- What else? What else? - Nothing. Nothing, I swear!
[Bo] Yo! You good?
- What else do you think you heard? - [Odin pants]
[whispering] Nothing.
Nothing.
Man, I don't wanna do this, O. I don't wanna be here.
- Then let's go, baby. Let's go. - What did I say? What did I say?
- Nothing. - What did I say, Odin?
[sobbing] Nothing.
[Bo] Yo, Aaron! Let's fucking go.
Aaron.
I don't fucking believe you!
- What did I tell you, Odin? - Nothing, Aaron!
What did I fucking say?
Okay.
Don't fucking lie to me!
What did I tell you?
Please, Aaron!
We gonna be brothers, huh?
We gonna be brothers.
This is your last fucking chance!
Okay! Okay! All I said was...
[gunshots]
[Odin's body thuds]
[car approaches]
[Ortiz, muffled] ...scare him. Fucking shooting him, that's fucked up, dawg.
You put us in a fucking situation.
[speaking indistinctly]
[jogger panting]
[reporter] Now, you can see here behind me that there are still police on the scene,
though the primary investigation has mostly concluded.
Authorities were there all day looking for...
It's already on the fucking news, bro.
...trying to find any...
- Man, let's roll. Come on. - ...through the area.
This is where the body was found.
Hey, Aaron, I'm about to head back to Bristol, let shit die down.
- ...body was discovered by a jogger... - Cool.
...pathway behind this business complex here...
- What you do with the gun? - ...in north Attleboro.
- Stashed it. - The jogger...
Nah, bro, get fucking rid of it.
There's not much around here, so it is a secluded area,
but it is popular with those that come through it.
Now, authorities, they have not released the victim's name,
but, apparently, he was from Boston.
They have said that much.
Um, this comes as a huge surprise
to those who do regularly jog
- through this area... - [phone buzzing]
Hey.
Hey, I... I don't know how to tell you this but, um...
- Odin's dead. - [sighs]
Yeah.
Did someone tell you?
No, just... Who told you?
Né.
[sniffles, sobs]
[sighs] She's here at the house.
Né's at the house?
Yeah, I had to give her a whole bunch of Xanax because she's just--
Um.
Can you get back here?
[stammers]
- You ain't mad at me anymore? - Aaron.
Did you hear what I said? Somebody killed Odin.
You need to come home.
Okay.
I love you.
Okay.
I do.
I need you to do something for me.
I will. I'll do anything. I need you to get here--
No, it's gotta be now.
I can... I can explain later, but it's important.
Okay.
[Avi cries]
[Aaron] I'm just sad.
I wish I could've talked to him yesterday.
But I've been through this death thing before,
and, you know, it's hard but it gets better.
[Shaneah sniffles, sighs]
I promise. I promise it gets better.
- What's up, baby? - Hey.
- Where did you go? - I... [stammers]
...just needed to go for a drive.
You know, it's just... It's all too much. [clears throat]
- [sighs] I'm gonna go change her. - I got it. Here.
[Shaneah sniffles]
- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. - [Shaneah crying]
[breathing heavily] Aaron, someone's here.
[Aaron breathing heavily]
[line ringing]
- [phone beeps] - Hey, Bud.
[breathing heavily] Hey, Murph, there's cops outside my door.
[knocking on door]
They're knocking now.
Shay. Shay, leave it alone.
Did you do anything wrong?
No.
They stopped knocking. I think they might have left.
Why are there cops at your house?
Is this about Bradley?
- I don't know. I don't know. - Okay.
Well, if you haven't done anything...
why don't you go out and ask?
Really?
Yeah.
Hey. Can I help you?
Mr. Hernandez.
I'm Detective Arrighi. This is Trooper Cherven.
All right, well, it's late. What's up?
Do you know a guy named Odin Lloyd?
O? Yeah. Yeah, I know him.
H-How do you know him?
He's, uh, he's... [sniffles] ...dating my girl's sister.
When was the last time you saw him?
Why are you asking so many questions?
Mr. Hernandez, do you know what this is about?
No.
We're investigating a murder.
I gotta, uh, talk to my attorney.
[door opens]
[footsteps approaching]
What did they say?
[door slams]
