Help me identify this movie/series thread

So There is two movies and one old tv-series I have not been able to identify. Reason being that I remember very little.

Movie #1: I only remember this small sequence: Believe it's night, it's definitely dark outside. A white and a black man (with glasses I think) have just killed one or more persons. They are in a car on their way away from the village where the murder occurred. They have a good lead but are being hunted by police. The black man with glasses is in the back seat asks the white man to take a 90, as police will catch up if they continue the flight, and the best shelters will certainly be behind them.

I think the black man was more calm and rational post killing, while the white was a little panicky and just wanted to get out of place as soon as possible.

Do not think the duo was part of a larger network. The murder(s) was definitely not a result of gang-related violence or a settlement between two rival groups.
The characters spoke English with an American accent.

Movie # 2: Some woman has been hiding for a specific person several times, but this person always finds her, But he never hurts her physically

One day when she comes home, he has killed some Parrot. It is set to be ready for serving and she screams. At one point, They stand near a rock where she asks him to stop stalking her. While he says he cant stop, With tears in his eyes.

TV series: In the intro, we can see a man waking up, and removing a Pistol/revolver from under his pillow. The protagonist often wore a blue shirt, similar to Mel Gibsons shirt in Lethal Weapon.
I was about 5-6 years old when I saw this, so I don't remember much more.
But this was the first show, meant for adults I watched. Would be so nice to see it again

Movie #1 has some similarities to the movie "One False Move" but in the situation similar to what you describe, they are stopped by a police officer, who knows something is suspicious (they have just killed several people in another town in the state) and a woman in their group of 3 kills the officer. They jump in the car and flee, and at some point I think the black man tells the driver (white) to turn the car around (180, not 90) and go in the direction they just came.

This probably isn't the movie you are referring to, but it has some similarities.

Pretty sure that is the movie, thanks.

I hope that is the movie you are looking for. In case it is not, just a warning - there are couple scenes in the movie that were difficult for me to watch. They weren't very graphic, but one in particular was difficult for me to watch because of how cold/methodical one of the killers was towards his victims.

Is Movie #2 "Nightlight," also known as "View of Terror"? It was a television movie made in 2003.

For your TV series, could it be "Sledge Hammer!"?

Opening intro:

http://youtu.be/cQl6r0fqRAI

From wikipedia: "'Sledge Hammer!' is an American satirical police sitcom produced by New World Television that ran for two seasons on ABC from 1986 to 1988. The series was created by Alan Spencer and stars David Rasche as Inspector Sledge Hammer, a caricature of the standard 'cop on the edge' character."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sledge_Hammer!#Intro_and_theme_music

"The introduction to the show features long, near-sensual closeup shots of Hammer's .44 Magnum as it rests on a luxurious satin pillow. The show's ominous theme music, composed by Danny Elfman, plays in the background. Hammer then picks up his gun, spins it expertly like a cinematic Old West gunslinger, and utters his catch phrase ("Trust me, I know what I'm doing") just before firing into the screen, making a hole in it."

thank for your suggestions, but they are both wrong.

I'm starting to think the series is definitely not an american one, because the gun under the pillow would have gotten instant recognition with the number of American eyeballs on this site.
