He's discovered a way to get past the typical images of Asian porn to positive images of Asian men and women caught on tape: it's "Asian Pride Porn," a videotape Mr. Hwang is pitching. We see excerpts as he talks about smart women and sexually empowered men. He urges his listeners to move from onanism to activism and never be embarrassed again when lonely and bored. He wants viewers to reach for "Asian Pride Porn" - available in sex shops and commercial centers everywhere, except Georgia and Alabama.
- In Judgement County, Texas, a rookie cop gets the ultimate test when an APB for a child killer fits the general description of a man he stops for speeding. By day's end, his boss, the sheriff, is out of reach, a power outage blocks him from checking the suspect's identity or getting a better description of the wanted man, and the town has become a mob set on vengeance. Race complicates things slightly (the suspect is Black, the cop and most townsfolk are White), as does the brotherhood of war (one's a Vietnam vet, the other Desert Storm). Our rookie is used to applying his boss's pithy sayings to situations he's in, but in this case, he may need to make his own judgment.

Enraged, pop gives his son 24 hours to deliver a corpse, so the young man sets out to ice the man who asked him for help earlier that day. Junior's target is a young actor, Tom, going through opening night and loved by Sarah, a rather histrionic young woman. A near-Death experience awaits them all as Junior comes of age.
