HBO:The Night of..Official Discussion Thread

Man the shit is pretty self explanatory. Calvin was setting him up from jump, getting him to let his guard down. Dude that killed his niece didn't take the plea and walked, which is why Calvin made sure to tell him that... seems like he wanted to make sure Nas was in there for a minute first. He threw the water and oil on him because he can't get to the cat that actually did it, that's why he told him her name and said "this is for my niece" before throwing the hot oil on him. The smile was because he respected the fact that he didn't snitch, like Nas is finally learning how to move in there.

I thought the smile was more of a 'fuck you' you can't do nothing about this (including snitching) and that's why nas went back to see the guard to get that short-notice appointment w/ 'omar' and why nas grilled him the whole time walking up them stairs and to dude's cell and why dude look worried...that was nas' response to him smiling and basically saying 'what the fuck you gone do?'

That's one way of looking at it. I don't know, I feel like he was sitting up waiting for the guards and then he didn't start smiling until he realized that he didn't snitch... BUT that's also when Nas realized the only way he's going to survive is if he fucks with Fred

I agree and that's what the smile was about...nas had no options including snitching...in his mind nas' ass was basically his...I meant that figuratively...cuz nas naive ass was about to go back like nothing happened til he seen dude---not even smiling---but smirking and that's when he realized what he had to do to survive...I surprised he waited that long...thought he woulda done it after he got cut

For a split second I swore he was about to snitch

I don't think he ever thought Nas would snitch.

I think he was waiting up to fuck with him.

I think he was planning on torturing Nas for a long while, shit was all mind games fir him.
 
I just binge watched this yesterday and caught up on all 4 episodes.

Read thru the comments here. My sis thinks Bodie did it, I feel like the step dad. But these shows, very intelligent writing, they show you who they want you to think did it, then in the end throw you completely off.

Great show, similar to American Crime. Touching on racial stereotypes that no one wants to talk about. But that show is NYC to the core.

I'm wondering if they're setting it up to have the viewers become attached and empathetic towards Nas only to reveal he really did it
 
I think the guy that was with Bodie did it. I couldn't help but notice how he stood their after "Bodie" walked away and he and Nas locked eyes. That's a classic example of foreshadowing.

Yeah but where's the blood on Naz. It don't add up.

Someone was in the crib watching them have sex, probably the stepdad since it was his wife's house and he was living there.

Who knows if it could of been the weird way that the dude that was with Bodie looked at them like maybe he came back and did it.

Nah whoever did it was familiar with that house and/or was invited in.

There wasn't any broken glass or kicked in doors until Nas had to get his keys.

And if you notice it locked behind him which means the door isn't just left open for someone to walk in.

I wouldn't be surprised if the step dad was fucking and killed her out of jealous rage but I doubt it since that seems too easy.

Could be the route they go. If they do they better at least plant some clues or hints along the way that Nas could have done it. If they do some last episode reveal that he was raped and brutalized by a family friend and had suppressed it I'm not gonna be real happy.

I see on the net everyone is speculating about the Limo driver at the Gas station, or the cat that was with Bodie, but what about the sketchy white dudes that got into the car right before the girl did. They was fucked up and on something.

You forget she let the cat out the 1st floor gate. It's not too much I miss on these type of shows.

The limo driver and dude with Bodie would be too obvious and lazy writing, I would be pissed if it were one of them.

Yeah I don't recall that but I still don't see this being random.

Particularly with 21 stab wounds and nobody else's DNA discovered (which means hes the only one who fucked)

Maybe someone from the rehab clinic?

The limo driver? That's just the racist in peeps online. And what he followed them all night?
The two kids in the cab before her, is reaching, how they follow them all night? After they stopped by the pier, nah...

Basically.

And the killer isn't going to be a brother.

Not random, I'm stuck on the dad. Especially how they are trying to pin everything on the minority and it be a white person.

No doubt but I've thought that too but I feel like thats where they want us to look which usually means that person is ultimately innocent.

I'm thinking maybe not the step dad but some people he was associated with who went after her to get to him.

Or maybe it will turn out she was mixed up in some shit that got her killed and step was trying to prevent it.
 
The limo driver would just be unlikely and would require a lot of explaining and back story. Concerning the guy with Bodie, I wonder why he didn't come to the crime scene with Bodie?


Could have bounced with a chick at the spot they were at, or maybe he (Bodie) left early while his boy was still there.

Nah thats classic misdirection.

They want us to think that but its too obvious.

I think he just wanted to chump Nas and make him shook.

Man! I'm loving all of these theories fellas. Don't forget the guy who was arguing with the step dad at the funeral. This shit has got me on the edge of my seat.

^^^This.

That's why I say the drugged out white dudes is more realistic. They were in the immediate vicinity of where ole girl got in the cab and neither of them was a stranger to drugs. One of the guys was super aggressive when Nas asked him to get out the car. If Police hadn't rolled up Nas probably woulda ended up scrapping with them dudes.

Now ole girl jumped in the car seconds after the police gave Nas directions and drove off. So she likely saw the whole interaction between Nas and those guys and still jumped in the cab anyway.

Go back and watch that scene again.

Then again, the skuzzy white dudes and police might just be way to show the viewers how they establish a timeline of events. :dunno:
