1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.800
- So you're getting ready
to start season three.

2
00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:03.427
What can we expect from the new season?

3
00:00:03.427 --> 00:00:04.260
- [Diallo And Bashir] Oh man.

4
00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:05.120
- So much. We do, we doing so much.

5
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:06.374
- Aw man, so, so much.

6
00:00:06.374 --> 00:00:07.980
(group laughing)

7
00:00:07.980 --> 00:00:09.780
- No, we think that like, you know

8
00:00:09.780 --> 00:00:12.060
as opposed to season
one and even season two,

9
00:00:12.060 --> 00:00:15.330
we're not really introducing
characters as much.

10
00:00:15.330 --> 00:00:19.050
Like we're really going back
to sort of our core squad.

11
00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:21.390
Simon and Kay working out of the RTO,

12
00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:24.240
under the management of
Kay's older brother, Q.

13
00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:25.830
We've got this man,

14
00:00:25.830 --> 00:00:27.300
and his real life wife, Chandra Russell,

15
00:00:27.300 --> 00:00:29.650
playing Officers Turner
and Officers Goodnight.

16
00:00:29.650 --> 00:00:30.690
You know-

17
00:00:30.690 --> 00:00:32.987
- [Bashir] This man is
playing officer, excuse me,

18
00:00:32.987 --> 00:00:33.820
Alderman Allen Gayle.

19
00:00:33.820 --> 00:00:35.400
- A corrupt politician in Chicago.

20
00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:36.233
I know, it's a little unexpected.

21
00:00:36.233 --> 00:00:37.066
- It's hard to believe.

22
00:00:37.066 --> 00:00:37.977
- [Angela] No such thing!

23
00:00:37.977 --> 00:00:40.260
- But even there we try to
put a couple of layers on it

24
00:00:40.260 --> 00:00:41.430
because we don't wanna just be like,

25
00:00:41.430 --> 00:00:42.810
he's a politician and he's crooked.

26
00:00:42.810 --> 00:00:45.750
Like it's all of his
failings are more sort of

27
00:00:45.750 --> 00:00:47.580
like personal failings.

28
00:00:47.580 --> 00:00:48.413
- Yeah.

29
00:00:48.413 --> 00:00:49.710
- You know, he's just a
personally ambitious person

30
00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:51.690
who wants the title, but
doesn't want the work.

31
00:00:51.690 --> 00:00:52.523
- Yeah.

32
00:00:52.523 --> 00:00:53.356
- That comes with it. So-

33
00:00:53.356 --> 00:00:55.800
- Likes having the job,
it's the doing the job.

34
00:00:55.800 --> 00:00:56.633
- He likes telling people he has the job

35
00:00:56.633 --> 00:00:58.410
more than he likes the job.

36
00:00:58.410 --> 00:01:01.410
- Whelan and I were just
discussing the urgent need

37
00:01:01.410 --> 00:01:02.626
for more black-owned businesses

38
00:01:02.626 --> 00:01:04.140
right here on the South Side.

39
00:01:04.140 --> 00:01:05.713
- Mmm. This ain't the South Side.

40
00:01:05.713 --> 00:01:07.710
- This ain't a black-owned business.

41
00:01:07.710 --> 00:01:08.543
- [Allen] Oh.

42
00:01:08.543 --> 00:01:09.963
- Unless he ain't just light-skinned.

43
00:01:10.884 --> 00:01:11.730
- No, no, no, that's,
that is a white man. Yes.

44
00:01:11.730 --> 00:01:13.260
- What is this? What,
we're in South Michigan.

45
00:01:13.260 --> 00:01:15.810
So technically, this is the South Side.

46
00:01:15.810 --> 00:01:17.940
- I have to say one of my
personal favorite episodes

47
00:01:17.940 --> 00:01:20.520
is the one about the
Herald's, the mild sauce-

48
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:22.680
- [Bashir] Mild Sauce meatballs.

49
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.390
- And there's so many things
that I love about the show

50
00:01:24.390 --> 00:01:27.030
that are just so authentically Chicago.

51
00:01:27.030 --> 00:01:27.863
- Yeah.

52
00:01:27.863 --> 00:01:29.730
- So, being a Southsider,
is there something

53
00:01:29.730 --> 00:01:32.820
that you say that really
makes you uniquely South Side

54
00:01:32.820 --> 00:01:33.660
that you don't know about

55
00:01:33.660 --> 00:01:34.860
unless you're from the
South Side of Chicago?

56
00:01:34.860 --> 00:01:37.527
- You know, I think the
thing that I love the most

57
00:01:37.527 --> 00:01:39.514
doing the show is the accents.

58
00:01:39.514 --> 00:01:40.347
- [Angela] Yes.

59
00:01:40.347 --> 00:01:41.180
- You know, people don't realize

60
00:01:41.180 --> 00:01:43.140
that Chicago is really
just Mississippi North.

61
00:01:43.140 --> 00:01:44.370
A lot of people don't understand that,

62
00:01:44.370 --> 00:01:46.650
but in most of your major northern cities,

63
00:01:46.650 --> 00:01:48.232
or Philadelphias, even your LA's,

64
00:01:48.232 --> 00:01:51.540
there are southern cities
that a lot of the black folk

65
00:01:51.540 --> 00:01:52.740
actually came from.

66
00:01:52.740 --> 00:01:54.806
I think Memphis is one.

67
00:01:54.806 --> 00:01:56.550
I have a lot of family from Arkansas,

68
00:01:56.550 --> 00:01:57.750
but my family specifically,

69
00:01:57.750 --> 00:01:59.610
and a lot of Chicagoans
are from Mississippi.

70
00:01:59.610 --> 00:02:01.080
And you hear it in that accent.

71
00:02:01.080 --> 00:02:01.913
- Yeah.

72
00:02:01.913 --> 00:02:02.998
- With characters like Stacy,

73
00:02:02.998 --> 00:02:04.890
you know, with characters like the twins,

74
00:02:04.890 --> 00:02:06.270
you hear that sort of southern drawl,

75
00:02:06.270 --> 00:02:07.860
and people go like, where are they from?

76
00:02:07.860 --> 00:02:09.630
And it's like, that's part
of the Chicago action.

77
00:02:09.630 --> 00:02:11.220
- I thought everybody was
pulling a prank on me.

78
00:02:11.220 --> 00:02:13.410
I thought guy was from Atlanta
when I first got to Chicago.

79
00:02:13.410 --> 00:02:15.225
- It has that southern root in it.

80
00:02:15.225 --> 00:02:17.250
- Yeah. Yo, yo from Gwinnett County.

81
00:02:17.250 --> 00:02:18.083
I can tell.

82
00:02:18.083 --> 00:02:19.933
(group laughing)

83
00:02:19.933 --> 00:02:21.956
(bright music)
