The Philadelphia Eagles show their support for the movement by taking the field during the Super Bowl to Meek's song "Dreams & Nightmares." Although the city celebrates him, Meek is locked in a prison cell during the game. Private investigators Tyler Maroney and Luke Brindle-Khym were originally hired by Meek's defense team to investigate the Judge, but they turn their attention instead to Meek's original case and revisit all the events of January 2007. They notice irregularities in the paperwork filed by Meek's arresting officer Reggie Graham, a member of Philly's elite Narcotics Field Unit. Tyler and Luke's attempts to talk to other police officers are unsuccessful until another former NFU officer, Jeffrey Walker, reveals explosive allegations about Graham's policing methods and the beating that Meek suffered at the hands of the police.

The FREE MEEK movement coalesces efforts to make changes to the legal system. The protests are at fever pitch when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court intervenes and decides that Meek should be released on bail while his hearings play out. Although he is whisked from prison on a helicopter and given a hero's welcome at a Philadelphia 76ers basketball game, he is not yet truly free. Judge Brinkley still presides over his case and will be the ultimate decider of his fate.
