[Michael] The boy you hit
is Jimmy Baxter's son.
I can keep you safe
if no one ever hears about it.
Robin's car,
I need it to disappear.
Drop the key behind
the front left wheel.
- [Rudy] You alone, Little Mo?
- Yeah.
[Rudy] Good. Listen up.
[Mo] Got a job for you, Kofi.
[Michael]
Every morning, there's her car
just sitting there.
Like a bruise.
You want me to let it go?
No. Sorry.
- Wrong cop.
- [siren wails]
- Against the wall.
- [Nancy] We found the car.
Well, that's-that's great news.
[Nancy]
What the hell is that?
I love Vivian Maier.
Yeah, I-I really love her.

Kofi Jones knocked Rocco Baxter
off his motorcycle
and left him bleeding to death
- on the roadside.
- [Michael] I need a favor.
- [Lee] Why him?
- We both know the difference
between you
and a public defender.
How does the accused plead?
- Guilty.

[inmate] Hit him!
What?
Hit him, motherfucker!
[screaming continues]
Hey! Hey! Hey, come on, stop!
- Stop!
- Fucking hit him.
[screaming continues]
[grunts]
He does that shit every night.
He's in your fucking cell,
so you fucking hit him.
I'm gonna lay some truth
on you, Leland.
I didn't come here tonight
to drink away my pain.
I came to do something about it.
[exhales]
You lost me, Dylan.
[pop music playing on jukebox]
I went to your gas station tonight.
Wait
I got there
just as you were leaving.
And I followed you here.
You fucking followed me?
Yeah.
My wife is cheating on me.
Oh, shit.
And I've suspected it
for a while.
You know,
the little things that
- I remember.
- Mm.
I remember.
20 years we've been married.
And I'm reduced to snooping
around in her fucking purse.
What'd you find?
[exhales]
Prepaid credit card.
So I tracked the charges.
There was a $32 charge
at your gas station.
October 9,
9:30 in the morning.
So she came into my station,
bought some gas, filled up.
She didn't have her car
that morning, Leland. I had it.
Oh, goddamn.
You know what the next charge
was on the credit card?
Hmm?
The Destiny Inn Motel.
Oh, fuck me.
Shit.
That is not a classy place.
Hourly rates.
Well, so, she paid
for the motel.
She paid for the bastard's gas
at my station.
Do you know
who this piece of shit is?
Well, that's where you come in.
[Leland] You can't hide
from us, pin dick.
Any second now 8:30.
- 8:50.
- N-No. Stop, stop.
Is that him?
- No.
- Huh?
[sniffling]
- You okay, Dylan?
- [crying softly]
[exhales]
You know what it is, you know
You know what I can't take?
What?
- You.
- Huh?
The kindness of strangers and
[crying]
It's okay.
You're a good man.
You're a fucking honorable man.
Leland, would you give me
a second?
[exhales]
I want to get this over.
- [exhales]
- Yeah. Sure.
Sure. Yeah.

This saved anywhere else
besides the hard drive?
Some server in the sky, maybe?
There's only one server
in my sky, Dylan.
That's the big man Himself.
Nope. Nope, what you see
is what I got.

What the fuck are you doing?
I-I'm just
I don't know.
What's your name, son?
Adam.
Desiato.
You're related?
Is that a tough question
somehow?
- He's my dad.
- You know it's not cool
taking pictures
of a secure facility, right?
Yeah.
Sorry.
[guard] Don't let that
happen again, a'ight?
[siren wailing in distance]
[indistinct P.A. announcement]
I'm thinking
probably the last thing you want
is a smart lawyer
fucking with you.
You made a decision
to plead guilty.
I respect that.
I'm here for one reason only:
to keep
the number of years down.
The sentencing range is
five to 30.
There's a hell of a lot
of discretion built in there.
So what's said on your behalf
really matters.
Your early guilty plea helps.
Having no criminal record
really helps.
Leaving a kid your own age
bleeding to death in the road
[sighs]and then stealing
the cell phone
he was trying to call 911 on,
not so helpful.
Appearances matter.
It shouldn't but it does.
A good haircut
and a clean shave.
And how's that gonna happen?
You've got friends in here.
Little Mo paying for you?
- I'm pro bono.
- [scoffs softly]
There's no such thing
as a free lunch.
Not even in Latin.
Wait. You know Latin?
Lawyer Latin.
Ever since that mean-ass judge
called me "doli incapax"
when I was ten years old.
Too young
to know wrong from right.
- What were you charged with?
- Usual shit.
Skateboarding while Black
or whatever.
Whole courtroom laughing at me.
People still call me Dolly
sometimes.
NOLA PD been good to you?
[sighs]
- So what am I looking at?
- We play it straight, ten.
- And if we don't?
- I go to the DA.
With what?
There's an urban myth.
Shreveport cops using an old
beater car to put suspects in.
You heard that?
They lock the doors,
hog-tie the poor bastards,
then they let in the gas.
- Stop.
- Not a mark on them.
Only thing that shows?
The eyes.
Red, itchy.
Nothing for a smart lawyer
to fuck with.
- Stop!
- Sure.
Urban myth, right?
I ain't changin' my plea.
You do what you do,
but I ain't flipping my plea.
It won't ever come to that.

[Sarah]
I'm your boss, Michael.
It's my job to tell you
you look terrible.
You know why you look terrible?
Field trips to the Lower Ninth.
Trials that shouldn't be trials.
Probation reports
when nobody needs them.
- Too much justice?
- Oh, don't you get
all moral high ground
with me, Michael.
Neither of us has the energy
for that thinned-out
fucking oxygen that
you're living off up there.
It's basic math we have
an unbelievable case load,
and you are taking too long
to get through your work.
I'm telling you this
because I love you.
Stop clearing your throat,
Sarah, and say it.
A reporter from The Washington Post
called me yesterday
to comment on his story.
- Know what that story's about?
- No.
Murderers and rapists
freed pretrial
because NOLA judges
are backlogged.
Every judge in this building
is about to take a massive hit
so that Michael Desiato
can sleep at night.
We're good to go, Judge.
[sighs]
I'll see you later, Michael.
[warden] Well,
thank you forjoining us, Judge.
- Don't do it, Warden.
- I thought judges
- were supposed to be impartial.
- You are confusing impartiality
with something else.
Carlo Baxter is
a vicious, dangerous racist.
Those are very loose terms
you're bandying about, Judge.
With respect, those are terms
representing an impartial
description of the truth.
[warden]
The motion is for Mr. Baxter
to attend his brother's funeral.
We're not asking
for any favors here,
just some
basic human compassion.
Judge, do you have the court
reporter's notes from the trial?
[Sarah] I don't need them.
Baxter's defense was
that he wasn't there,
that it was someone else who
snapped Justin James's spine
and put him in a wheelchair
and then somehow
planted Carlo's DNA
all over the victim
and the scene.
- Is she there?
- Who?
- The mother.
- Mrs. Baxter's present, yes.
- Why?
- Gina Baxter said
that her son was with her all day.
Which makes him and his mother
proven liars.
We object to the tone
and, frankly, the veracity
of her characterization.
- Do you object to proven liars?
- Why don't we get back
to some facts
instead of slinging mud around?
Mr. Baxter has been
an exemplary prisoner.
Exemplary.
Now, it would be just cruel
not to let him be
with his family
when they bury his brother.
And here's the thing.
There are only two weeks left
on his sentence.
What kind of idiot would he be
to mess things up now?
The kind of idiot
who comes within an inch
of murdering a 15-year-old boy
for no other reason
than he doesn't like
the color of his skin.
The Baxter family is happy
to meet the full cost
of transport and security
for Carlo to attend
his brother's funeral
if, God willing,
you see fit to grant the motion.
Is that the best you can do,
Mr. Zander?
The old combination punch
of cash and God?
[warden]
I'll retire to make my decision.
[elevator bell dings]
[sighs]
Man, what you up on?
Possession.
Single wrap of diesel.
- Mm.
- You?
Eh, some bullshit shoplifting.
[both mutter softly]
Murder.
[laughing]
Okay, killer.
The New York Times,
I'm thinking, would be
- my paper of choice for this.
- For what?
I've been working
at a white-shoe firm
- doing white-collar crime.
- I heard.
Fifteen years ago, when I left
the Public Defender's office,
police beat people up,
got what they wanted,
nobody looking or caring.
Now? It doesn't exist, right?
He pleaded guilty.
- After he was gassed.
- And he had legal advice.
45 seconds from an exhausted PD.
Advice is advice. It's done.
Seventeen-year-old
who killed mob boss's son
faced mock execution
at a New Orleans
Police Department black site.
- Headline writes itself.
- So you're telling me
this Kofi Jones kid wants to
change his plea to not guilty,
and invite the rest of the world
to just watch what happens next?
You took the words
right out of my mouth.
Flipping his plea,
taking on the NOPD
and the Baxter family?
That's got to come from him, right?
Warden, I wanted to thank you.
For the religious instruction
my son has received.
I know he'll leave here
with a structure for his life
provided by Jesus Christ
and his teachings.
May God bless you.
It's an unconditional gift.
If you grant my son
permission
if you allow him home
to be with us
when we bury Rocco,
then take the costs
out of this.
The remainder is
for the refurbishment
of your beautiful chapel.
And if you don't let him home,
the whole amount is
for the chapel.

Kofi Jones.
You said he'd go down easy.
That's right.
He's got a lawyer now.
Fancy sister.
Big firm.
That's just
some pro bono bullshit.
You know
all the big firms do it.
They don't mean nothing.
She's up in the DA's face.
Threatening a trial.
Telling him your boy's ready
to flip his plea.
I got eyes on him in O.P.P.
Your facts are backwards.
My boy's staying strong.
All right.
Hope so.

This is the coolest spot
in the coolest spot

what my man Deandre here
has accomplished
is something to behold.

Giving back to the community.
Oh, no. See, see, see,
that just a little appetizer.
I'm talking
about Black-owned Gentilly.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Do I got to hand out Q-Tips?
What I just say?
[all] Don't shop where you can't work.
- Oh, yeah!
- I heard that.

I'm punching one-handed
as Congressman.
Make me mayor

[cheering]
Lee Delamere?
Lee Delamere?
What the hell you thinking,
Michael?
She'll get the case tossed,
and the whole thing dies, Charlie.
You sure?
Oh, Jesus Christ.
And if she doesn't,
you think she's just gonna
up and walk away?
She's a Michael Desiato
protégée, for God's sake.
Her next move? She gets the kid
to open up on this,
explore his goddamn options.
He starts feeling loquacious.
- She starts digging up shit.
- No, she's looking the DA
right in the eye, and my money's
on the DA blinking.
- Now, if-if Kofi walks
- Your money's on it?
What the hell is this,
a night at the fucking casino?
You playing roulette
with my life?
- I've got this, Charlie.
- I don't think you have.
What have you gotten me
into here, Michael?
- This is a felony.
- I'm sorry. Okay?
- Listen to me.
- No, no, no, no. Michael.
- Listen to me.
- Michael. No, no!
Fuck you!
Fuck you.
[indistinct chatter]
I'm sorry.
I'm very sorry.
And you're right.
I never should have
Whatever happens,
I can manage Lee Delamere.
You fucking her?
You better be.
You need to be fucking her
to manage her.
Jesus, who are you?
W-Why are you talking like that?
Because you give me no choice.
Because my career
and everything I've worked for
could be over
because my best friend
just threw me
in the fucking deep end.
I got it.
I got all of it, Charlie.
They come here to die.
Just drop dead
off of the wall once a week.
And always on a Monday.
Just when my man Razim here
is on "clean up the yard" duty.
- Take that.
- Hmm.
Like a gift from heaven.
You know your bid yet?
Nah.
Well
whatever they hand down,
hearing the number's
gonna settle you.
[Zo] Hmm.
Till you get there.
Where?
B.B. Rayburn. Wade, maybe.
Most likely Angola.
Meantime, we got your back.
You feel me?
Little Mo sent me word.
I got you.
Wow.
These are really good.
[chuckles]
[Frannie] He's doing great.
He's got such sensitivity
and a real eye for detail.
His mother
would be proud of him.
Aw. That's nice.
It's what I think.
And very hardworking.
Yeah, he's
he's really got something.

Maybe a little.
Anything you could
put your finger on?

I mean, normally,
he would tell me, but
Is he seeing anyone?
I mean,
does he have a girlfriend?
Did he tell you
that he has a girlfriend?
Because
if he didn't, it's not
really appropriate for me to
Oh, I'm sorry.
You're right. Sorry.
[both chuckle]
What happened to his shoulder?
Oh, yeah. You saw it.
Well, uh, getting better.
[chuckles softly]
We were wrestling.
Stupid, I know, but we've
been doing it for years,
and, well, just happened.
Ms. Latimer, I've been meaning
to speak to you.
When his mother died,
I know you stepped in.
I know you looked after him.
And that means a lot to me,
and I appreciate that.
So
thank you.
[Michael] So, how'd it go?
[Lee] There's a word everybody's
been too scared to use.
What's the word?
"Torture."
Jesus.
[jazz music playing]
Okay.
- Okay.
- He thought
they were gonna kill him.
Well, you can't just stand up
in court and say,
"Your Honor,
my client's been tortured.
Please reduce his sentence."
I mean, Harris is 100% pro-cop.
He spends half his drinking life
drinking with cops,
so he's not gonna let anyone
assert anything like that
in his own courtroom
without backing it up.
So, evidence.
What have you got?
Okay, so
where does that leave you?
Well, the judge will hate you
and hate your client
because you're besmirching
the good name
of his drinking buddies
in the NOPD.
So, end result,
possibly more years than less.
What Why are you smiling?
I remember how you used to test
my arguments
by taking the other side
and arguing
the hell out of things.
- [Michael] Mm-hmm.
- Uh-huh.
You know, of all the clerks
over all the years,
I got to say
- Don't embarrass me.
- Were in the top four.
- Five.
- Four?
- Yeah. Well
- Thanks. [laughs]
Okay. So,
how are you going to win?
The DA is in his office
right now
asking himself
one of those questions
that comes along roughly once
in the career
of a man like him.
Does he want a police brutality
scandal in the city,
or would he prefer it went away?
And the only way
he can make it go away
is if he drops the charges.

October 9.

where was it parked?
Who drove it last?

You know, truth is,
I don't remember.
Do you?

people don't remember stuff.
I mean, unless they
have a reason to.
I Put a gun to my head,
I couldn't swear
I locked the front door
this morning.
I-I lied.
[Nancy] Sorry?
What do you what do you mean?
Uh, t-to the cop.
Uh, the one who drove Dad home
from the impound.
I-I told him
I'd never driven Mom's car.
But I-I do drive it.
I mean
I-I did drive it.
Why'd you lie to him?
[Adam] Uh
B-Because, um
I used to drive it
when I was underage.
At 15.
Which is pretty illegal, I know.
A-And Dad being a judge and all,
I just

if I drove it,
that popped into my head, and
I lied to him.
I rode shotgun.

I'm not so sure,

No. Latin for "my fault."

Part of the benefits package.
You get beat down,
they make sure
the other guy gets it worse.
It wasn't a fight.
Carlo kicked the shit
out of him.
But why would they wait all
this time to come back at us?
Fuck knows
how these people think.
What I do know is
that if we do nothing,
we look weak.
They came for us,
we take it to them.
That's how it goes.
Then where does it end?
We go big.
We go big once,
and that ends it.

Don't you put your hands on me.

Calling from the PD's office.
Ah, got you clerking
on the weekends, huh?
Yes, sir. Anyway, we noticed
that you've got a prisoner
headed your way.
Well, son of a bitch!
[man on TV] Uh, you get
an aggressive defense
- What happened?
- Oh.
Yeah, hang on.
No, I don't have
any transfers today.
Well, it-it
must be last minute.
Got himself
a compassionate release.
Anyway,
he's headed your way now.
What the fuck is that?!
All right, the name is Baxter.
- What?
- Carlo Baxter.
[mutes TV]
Will you do us a favor
and move
uh, Jones, Kofi Jones,
into protective custody?
Oh, yeah, he's the
hit-and-run perp, right?
Yeah, uh,
he has to be separated
until Baxter goes back
to Angola.
I got it.
We'll "keep away" him.
Good, good. Great.
Uh, that name again is
"Kofi Jones."
And thank you, Sheriff.
Damn!

He blinked, Michael.
They're dropping the charges.

- We did it.
You did it.
Kofi goes free in the morning.
Jones, let's go.
What for?
The infirmary. Intake physical.
They stripped me down
when I got here.
Looked up every hole.
What else they want with me?
Your sheet says "intake physical,"
so away we fucking go.
