BILLY: I need to land on my feet now. I need to find out what kind of work I want to do here.

OFFICER RAMOS: I will do whatever I can to help, Captain.

JESSE: That is what I like to hear. This community deserves better.

OFFICER RAMOS: I quite admire our drive you have for the youth here. Instead of taking what happened to your daughter as a negative you are trying to turn it into a positive.

JESSE: The people responsible for that shoot out are in custody, but there are some youth out there that have not yet gotten into deep trouble. Those are the ones I would love to help.

OFFICER RAMOS: What are we going to do to help them?

JESSE: We’re going to reach out and I do have an idea how…
