Hand of God (2014) s02e01 Episode Script
Gathering Dust
1 [man speaking.]
Moving on is easy to say In the off hours I dream away You've been gone but I still see your face Out there in the dark I'm out there in the dark Nobody knows me like you Nobody holds me like you Nobody scares me And tears me apart Like you do No, nobody [dog barking.]
[car beeps.]
Get down.
Get down! [phone chimes.]
Everything okay? Everything's fine, baby.
Okay, I'm ready now.
Can we start? [fly buzzes.]
[pounding.]
Show him the way back to you, Lord.
[humming.]
Now I'm in love again No, this time it's not with my hand Wandering murdering Every time that I get the chance I'm a human But, remember first, I'm a man These streets got me wandering Looking for my fix again I should've prayed the night before Now I'm losing everything I had Yesterday it felt so good But now today it feels so bad This doesn't feel right.
I should have gave Pernell a heads up.
No, you should've done this three weeks ago.
Then the papers would be talking about your new education initiative instead of how Pernell Harris gets special treatment 'cause the mayor's his lap dog.
Let me see the speech.
Cold little motherfucker, eh, son? Emotions are high, I get it.
But we have to remember the guiding principle of our justice system: innocent until proven guilty.
Now having said that, a San Vicente police officer was killed.
A devoted husband and loving father is no longer with us.
Someone must pay for that.
I have the utmost faith in our police department and in our district attorney that will happen.
I guarantee you justice for Sam Caldwell and his family.
[reporters shouting questions.]
[beeps.]
Step to the side, please.
Al, we got to do this every day? Only if you want to come inside.
[wand beeps.]
[chuckles.]
Have a good day, Judge Harris.
Fuck you.
They fixed the zipper.
Talk to the calendar clerk? Am I gonna be needing that robe anytime soon? She said it was a light month.
Full of shit.
Talked to Morgan.
She's got so many overflow cases, she's sending them to traffic court.
Why do they keep me on ice? You're charged with murder.
Charged, Randy, not convicted.
If I was a plumber, would they make me stop plumbing? If you were a plumber, you wouldn't be able to post bail.
SVPD called.
There's a box of P.
J.
's personal effects down there.
They want to turn it over to family now that he's officially gone.
What about Jocelyn? Knock, knock.
I called her first.
Guess she wasn't interested.
So it's either you or they toss it.
You're late.
I just left Stanton's office.
I've got news, good and bad.
Start with the good.
You were right about the DNA testing.
They used a low copy number analysis.
Well, that's not good news.
That's great news.
That's fucking game-changing news! - It helps.
- It helps? They built their entire case on that DNA.
That's the only thing connects me to Caldwell.
We already had gaps in the chain of custody.
Now they've got a testing process that's proven unreliable in court.
Forget about a trial, this thing won't even make it through evidentiary.
You haven't heard the bad news.
They have a witness.
What? Who? I don't have a name.
Well, they can't say they got a witness without giving the name.
We'll get a name soon enough, but, Pernell, I need to know, could someone have seen you do it? How could you have walked out of that office without getting a fucking name? I asked.
McCauley told Judge Stanton that they had to keep the name anonymous for the witness's safety.
And what did you say? You said, "okay?" Stop waiting for permission! You don't ask for a name, you fucking get the witness's name! Screaming's not going to change anything.
Let's just get through Monday's evidentiary hearing.
Well, thank you, Adam, I mean, that is one hell of a pep talk.
There's one more piece of good news.
Judge Stanton approved a six-hour window for you to leave your house arrest zone.
I just need to tell her exactly where you'll be.
Stockton.
What's in Stockton? I like my town With a little drop of poison Nobody knows They're lining up to go insane I'm all alone I smoke my friends down to the filter But I feel much cleaner after it rains She left in the fall That's her picture on the wall She always had that little drop of poison She left in the fall That's her picture on the wall She always had that little drop of poison Hey.
How you making out? I'm up $7.
All right.
You organized my shelves? You must be feeling better.
I'm hitting those closets next.
Yes, it came.
Yeah, it did, and who gave you permission to use my account? Mom, it's a book I need for school.
What book? The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian.
They banned it from the school library, so we're all getting our own copies and bringing them to school to show them they can't control our minds.
Mm-hmm.
Why was it banned? Because it's real.
It's got swearing and drug use and wait for it, people masturbating.
You think that belongs in high school? What else was there? Please, do not feed the animals.
You don't even read the books you're assigned.
Now you want to protest books that are being banned? Sometimes you have to take a stand for shit.
Well, you just be careful, Denise Louise.
You hear me? I just talked to Mom earlier.
She wants to do something tomorrow night.
You? Yeah, sure.
Is Denise's girlfriend coming? Haven't met her yet.
No, no.
Just the Murphy girls.
Hey, did you give Pernell my cell phone number? No.
Well, he left a message for you.
It's sweet.
Want to hear it? No, thank you.
Mm-kay.
[police radio chatter.]
Most people wait until they get home.
Thank you.
Hope you burn, piece of shit.
- Asshole.
- Murderer.
Let me help you with that, Judge.
You carrying his groceries for him, Kessler? The guy who killed Alex is on death row because of him, so yeah, I am.
You guys got nothing better to do, Toby? A cop killer walks into a police station, he's going to draw a crowd.
But don't worry, I won't let them hurt you.
I need you in one piece for this trial.
Well, thanks for the escort, but there's not going to be any trial, asshole.
Gonna have this piece of shit case kicked on Monday.
No, there's gonna be a trial.
And then there's gonna be prison.
How do you think Judge Maximum is going to make out when he's reunited with all the convicts that he's put away? You'll be begging me for that escort.
Hey.
You find it? Yeah.
I really need this back, though, okay? It's really important to Tucker.
Especially now, anything of Shane's.
Did you see the press conference? Should have left the kids at home.
DA called me, asked me to bring them.
Bullshit.
Don't let them exploit you like that.
They don't give a shit about you.
Julio, I just What is that? Insurance.
Insurance for what? You knew Shane was doing side jobs.
Yeah.
I knew he was pulling little favors and doing bodyguard stuff.
It's a lot more than that.
Neither of us liked it.
But we needed the money.
Okay, I told him I wanted him to stop.
They wouldn't let him.
Once he crossed that line, how could he say no? First, it's shakedowns.
Jacking dealers, pocketing money, losing evidence.
Then it's whatever they want it to be.
They've got a lot of guys like that, Heather.
He had no idea what he was getting into.
That what that key's about? Shane said he made a video.
Of what? I don't know, supposed to be protection.
In case he decided to say no.
He stashed it in a bus locker.
A lot of good that did him.
Yeah.
Look, it may not help Shane, but it might help you and the kids get set up.
I'll call you when I have something.
Yeah.
Hey.
Tell Tucker I'll buy him a new one.
All the meds came back fine.
Baby is perfect.
And Mommy is completely healthy, too, except for a slight Vitamin D deficiency.
You need to get some more sun, girl.
Have you made the father aware of your decision? Um no.
Do I have to? No, not legally.
But if he can be a part of the process, it does make things easier.
He can't be.
I don't even know where he is.
Left you to fend for yourself, huh? Don't feel bad, sweetie.
You are not the first girl to lay down with a loser.
Well, don't know that he's a loser.
He just can't be involved.
May I? Do you know him? No, I'm just not quick to judge.
I guess it's the Christian in me.
Mmm.
So, who's the lucky family? Uh, the Stolnjaks.
Oh my God, I can't wait to call them.
Seven long years they've been waiting, and you are their Super Lotto ticket.
They're gonna be so thrilled.
Why don't you go ahead and sign the contract so I can call the Stolnjaks? You're doing a wonderful thing for this family.
And for your baby.
Excuse me, I need to use the bathroom.
It's great that she's got you for support, Reverend Curtis.
It just tears my heart to see some of these young girls just get left in the cold by men who don't care enough to do the right thing.
Not even by their own kid.
No moral backbone.
Not enough men like you, am I right? Can can we can I keep this for her? Sure.
[phone rings.]
Woman: Hello? Dawn? Hey, it's Wendy from Agnes Christian Family Services.
[saw running.]
Never say he doesn't answer.
Praise Jesus.
Boy, you really messed this place up, didn't you? Yeah.
I'll make it good, though.
Jessie know you're doing this? Yes, sir.
Nothing a fresh coat of paint can't fix, huh? Hey, um, you need some money for the supplies, you just let me know, I can help with that.
No, my debt, no sir.
I pay.
You know what I'm up against, huh? Yeah.
But I know God won't fail us.
Listen, Keith, I'm trying to make this situation right for both of us.
Yeah.
But they got a witness.
Who? I don't have a name yet, but when I do I don't want to hurt anybody.
I just use this.
You give him $40,000.
You keep the rest for yourself.
No, I don't want your money.
No, I do this for God and for my Solomon.
Don't don't call me that, okay? I'm not Solomon, I'm not anointed.
- But you are.
- I'm Pernell Fucking Harris.
And I'm charged with murder.
God talks right to you.
Not anymore he doesn't.
I haven't had a hallucination or heard a voice since we spread P.
J.
's ashes.
Don't look at me like that.
That's the one thing I've got to be thankful for.
If there was a God, I'd thank him for that.
There is a God, and he shines.
If there was a God, my son would still be alive.
I'll call you when I get a name.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord.
Plans for welfare, not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah, 29:11.
I'm sorry, Keith.
I just don't believe that shit anymore.
That's all right.
I'll believe enough for the both of us.
Hey, thanks for coming.
Yeah, my driver's coming back around in five minutes.
What's up? Just enough time to have a toast.
Hell of a good time to be Robert Boston.
Here's to approval ratings going through the roof.
Okay, you're not listening.
We can't make this an all-nighter.
We got to toast to me, too, though.
Pernell Harris, charged with murder.
Estranged wife in Stockton won't even take his calls.
Best friend making "Someone will pay" statements all over TV.
What are you trying to say, I'm turning my back on you? I'm just keeping my distance until these charges are handled.
- You don't see that? - Hold on, hold on.
I haven't even told you the best part.
McCauley he says he's got a witness that connects me to the body.
Oh shit.
Is that possible? A witness? I don't think you've got time for that talk.
Shit.
Don't worry about it.
All you've got to do is reach out to Pete Janacek, get me the name of this witness.
Why you can't reach out to him? Same reason you can't be seen with me, man.
I'm toxic.
And I'm an elected official.
You want me to lean on a grand jury clerk? That's Watergate waiting to happen.
See what I mean? You're good at being careful.
Sometimes being careful means saying "No.
" My shit is heating up, Pernell.
My name's coming up in Sacramento and D.
C.
For real, man.
You want congratulations? No, I want you to understand what's at stake right about now.
I understand.
I understand exactly what happens if I go on trial.
You don't think Toby and McCauley want to take you down right alongside me? They're going to dig into everything we've done.
They're going to find things.
They're going to put you on the stand, Bobo.
Right along the same time people are going to be deciding whether to re-elect Robert Boston, and you'll be all over TruTv, trying to explain why you had Toby Clay bring in a cop for questioning.
That dead cop.
I get you a name, and you do what? No witness, no trial.
Not like that.
Then like what? You just give me the name of the witness.
I'll take care of it for the both of us.
Text me, I'll be in Stockton.
Someone loses something Hey, how much do you think I could get for my book? Shit.
Stacy got 15 for hers.
All the big wigs in yours, you could double that.
Why? This baby's got me thinking it might be time to wrap it up.
Oh, no, no, that's backwards thinking.
A baby means you need to ramp it up.
No, I'm not working while I'm pregnant.
Why not? Girl, the first six months, they don't even notice.
The last three months, freaks'll pay you double because you are.
Whatever.
You know I'm right.
Oh, when you start lactating, now that shit's a goldmine.
- They want to suck it - Carla.
Stop being ratchet.
Excuse me? Miss Prissy, didn't mean to get real on you, but you know, kids cost.
'Cause they want to eat and have clothes to wear.
And a place to sleep, and, oh yeah, they want to be somebody when they grow up, and that shit's on you.
I know that, and I have money put away.
Huh, yeah? Well, whatever it is, it ain't enough.
Look, it's not just the money I'm thinking about.
I'm keeping this baby.
I want to raise it right.
And a working girl can't be a good mommy? I got two kids on honor roll.
They go to Kumon and piano lessons, and learn French, bitch.
Fucking well adjusted kids with college funds in the bank paid for.
I'm not saying you can't be a working girl and be a good mommy.
I'm just saying I can't.
And I'm just saying, fuck you.
Denise.
It is Denise, right? Wait here.
[phone buzzes.]
Hey, Tammy.
Crystal's not here.
Where is she? [bell dings.]
From the guy at the counter.
[sighs.]
Ah.
I'm not ready for this.
Well, maybe it's like jumping into cold water.
I mean, you're never ready, but once you get in, you get used to it and you're glad you did it.
I'm not talking about us.
Fine, let's talk about you.
Not that either.
Aren't you under house arrest? I got six hours so I could come see you.
I'm gonna beat the charge.
I'm gonna put everything back to the way it was.
But none of it's going to mean anything if you're not with me.
You really don't listen, do you? Oh, okay, I'm sorry.
Crys, come on.
You don't miss San Vicente? I do miss some things.
The steaks at the Corner Club.
Mmm.
You know, you really don't appreciate them until you're eating surf and turf at an Applebee's wannabe.
Well, we could be there in an hour.
You know what I don't miss? My husband on the hotline to Heaven.
I'm not having visions anymore.
I swear to God.
I mean I swear.
So you don't think any of that came from God? The voices, the visions? No, I think it was temporary insanity.
What about Anne Wu? She did order the rape.
She did steal P.
J.
's program.
How could you be right about that? I don't have that part of it figured out yet.
All I know is it wasn't God.
Whenever you're ready.
- I'm ready.
- I got this.
[beeping.]
Warning, you are outside the designated zone.
My ankle monitor.
Return to an authorized location.
I'm supposed to stay within a certain distance of the address I gave them.
Well, then you better get going.
Well, it'd be okay if we were at your sister's house.
Go home.
Crys.
Crys? Police gave me a box of P.
J.
's stuff.
[beeps.]
Warning, you are outside the designated zone.
Return to an authorized location.
Shane never told me that he was involved.
He tried to keep you out of it.
You heard him on there, right? You heard his voice.
He didn't want to be there.
He didn't have a choice.
No, this is too risky.
Julio, if they find out what you're doing Only one person is going to find out.
Do you think he's gonna pay? He's obsessed with his son.
When he sees what is on this video, he'll pay.
Heather, there's no one to protect anymore.
Except you.
[chuckles.]
Which one's yours? Bottom.
Mm-hmm.
[pigeons cooing.]
They come every day.
Tammy leaves seeds for them.
Mind if I $471 and 26 cents.
What was he doing with all that cash? You want it? No.
I think he read an article.
Decided credit cards were evil.
[sighs.]
Still smells like him.
Didn't P.
J.
give this to you for your birthday? I thought I lost that.
About two years ago.
What's P.
J.
doing with my signing pen? Signing his suicide note? [laughs.]
[cries.]
[sobs.]
[footsteps.]
I'm looking for Judge Harris.
He isn't in.
Do you know when he will be? What's this about? I'll come back later.
Drive safely.
Come back with me, Crys.
I'm serious, let's just get all your things and get out of here right now.
Don't push it, Pernell.
I have to.
I love you.
It's more than that.
I can't live without you.
If I didn't have this shit on my ankle, I would go buy a Winnebago right now and park it in your fucking sister's front yard.
Oh, right.
You see? You see? If we play this thing right, maybe we'll be back to laughing one day.
What's here, Crys? Back in San Vicente, you were throwing galas.
You were going to opening night of the ballet.
Your big night here is, what? The Voice? Couple of boxes of wine? Crys? That's how easy it is.
What? You said "wine".
I thought of the wine bottle.
I thought of Anne.
I thought if I hadn't gotten there before you, I never would've And how I was only going there to protect you.
And how I hate That's how easy it is.
You love me.
You remember that? Yeah, I do.
But I remember everything, and it's not enough.
Even for love.
[horn honking.]
Asa? Are you Asa? Where's where's Pernell? He's visiting his wife.
He sent me.
He said you got a name for me.
Have him call me when he gets back.
No, look.
You're just going to tell Judge Harris the name, he's going to tell me.
So what's the difference? I know him, I don't know you, okay? No, no, I can't let you go unless you tell me that name.
Okay, okay, man.
Just ease up.
Ease up, man! I gotta Oh, shit! Get the fuck off of me! Where were you going? Man, get the fuck off of me, man! I don't want to hurt you.
Just tell me the name.
I'll break this.
Okay, Paul Curtis.
Paul Curtis.
Get the fuck off of me, man! [car starts.]
Hey, kid.
It's Daddy.
How are you doing? You ready? I hope you know I'm doing this for you.
I hope someday that you can forgive me.
It's not 'cause I don't love you.
It's because I do.
You deserve a good family.
A good daddy.
[kisses.]
It's just tiny little things.
She has these tattoos.
Oh, Jesus.
On both of her boobs.
Save one for me, role models.
Here.
No, no, no, no.
She's 16.
And I'm sure alcohol has never passed her lips.
Oh, no.
Of course not.
Hey, hey, I was 17 the first time I ever tried any of that.
Bullshit, you were eight.
Eight? You were eight? Oh my God, yeah.
When I fell in the toilet.
Wait, what happened? - Ask her.
- For God's sake.
I your mom and Aunt Sherry, they didn't want to go to sleep and I was fucking tired.
So I made them some hot chocolate.
And put a little rum in it.
Too much rum, way too much rum.
Sherry just passed out, and your mom, she just got plain stupid.
Yeah, I forgot to put the toilet seat down.
You fell in the toilet? I was a baby.
I just fell in the seat.
And this was a trailer toilet, so it's smurf piss.
There's no water in there, okay? So, blue down there for like, a week.
What'd you do, grandma? Did you whup their asses? - No.
- Grandma wasn't there.
No, she wasn't there.
Grandma was in the hospital.
She was trying to pull a P.
J.
What do you mean? It was a long time ago.
You know, ach.
But pills.
What? Sorry.
Too soon? Over a month, you've been here.
Never talked about P.
J.
Didn't even invite us to the funeral.
You made us tip-toe all around what happened.
So this is how it comes up.
Ma, she asked a question.
I answered it.
Of course you did.
Why should I be so surprised you wait until you can take it out on me? Oh.
Take it out on you.
P.
J.
I'm just talking about how you weren't there because you swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills.
Okay, whatever we're talking about, can we stop? - Please? - No.
No, no, no.
We're here now.
We are here and I would like to know.
Did you ever once stop to think about how it would affect my sisters or me? You? [scoffs.]
You get out of your head, girl.
I was to the point where I was ready to take my last breath.
I wasn't thinking about you.
And I promise you, in that moment, your precious P.
J.
wasn't thinking about you either.
I'm sorry.
Too soon? Mom.
Ma, wait.
We aren't the only ones who miss him, you know.
I'm not talking about P.
J.
But there's this memorial website.
You should see it, Aunt Crystal.
I mean, thousands of people have posted messages for him.
I mean, look, all these people loved him.
Jesus Christ.
Are you deaf, are you stupid, or are you just being a fucking bitch? I learned to lay my head On the bed I made Fuck, you gave him the name? Dad, he had me pinned on the ground like we were fighting at recess.
His knees were on my arms and shit.
Hey, hey.
Thanks.
You could have made something up.
Right? You got to be quicker on your feet.
Think.
So he can find me and kill me for lying to him? This is a bona this is a bonafide killer we're talking about.
Lower your voice.
We don't know that for sure.
Fuck! Man: Great party, Mayor Boston! I told you this was a mistake.
I don't understand why you keep putting yourself out there like that.
Hey, you don't ask that question, okay? He's my friend, your godfather.
That's why.
Go wash up.
Val.
Why are you empty handed? You know what, let's get you a glass of champagne, huh? Pernell should be here, Robert.
Yes, I talked to Pernell, and he agreed that having you represent the Harris family trust was best.
He hasn't been convicted of anything.
Yes, ma'am, this is true, but people start trying his case every time he walks into a room.
Which would distract from the theme of this evening, don't you think? Let me take care of some business.
Hey, can I get your attention? I'm sorry, everybody.
Everybody, your attention please.
Can you gather around? I want to thank everybody for coming.
- I mean that.
- Good evening.
You see this? This is a picture of me when I was nine years old.
And you could already see I had an inspired sense of style.
Am I rocking specs? I think I'm rocking specs.
I mean, whoever let me walk out of the house wearing that Wizard of Oz bowtie should have been reported to child protection services, but that's another story.
But the reason I wanted you to see this picture was that was the year that changed my life.
When I was nine years old I wrote a paper in school about what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I said I wanted to be a janitor, because my father was a janitor at city hall.
And I worshipped my father.
I got an A+ on that paper.
Brung it home all proud, but when I gave it to my father, he ripped it up right in front of me and said, "Well, if all you want to be is a janitor, what the hell do you need an education for?" True story.
I was lucky, I had a mother and father who made me dream big and strive for more.
I mean, it was obvious my school didn't care.
Now, I work in the same offices where my father used to sweep and mop, and I'm not a janitor.
My name is Robert Boston, the mayor, your mayor, of San Vicente.
Thank you, thank you so much.
I appreciate it, I'm proud of what I've accomplished.
But the one thing I'm not proud of is our schools.
Public education is a disgrace in this country, and I'm sorry to say, in our city, too.
That's why I created the REAL initiative.
REAL.
Reviving Education and Leadership.
REAL.
It will fix our schools.
It will change our future.
Bayard Rustin said, "The proof that one truly believes is in action.
" Are we ready to take action? - Crowd: Yes! - I know some of you are.
The Harris Family Trust and our host for this evening Nathan Brooks have each committed 10 million dollars to the REAL initiative.
Thank you.
[cheering.]
Thank you so much.
That means we're halfway there.
They believe.
Do you believe? Crowd: Yes.
Then let's get them checkbooks out.
[sighs.]
You awake? Yeah.
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
No, it's not.
My dad hit me once.
A real punch.
Mom said it was because he was mad at the world, not at me.
It's not okay, either.
I'm just saying I get it.
Do you know whatever happened to P.
J.
's software? No.
Don't you think you should? [crowd chattering.]
I'm not that great at parties, either.
So you're, what, a wallflower billionaire? Seems a very unlikely combination.
Not shy, bored.
I'm afraid I lose interest in most people fairly quickly.
Hi, can I have water, please? Of course.
I begin to tune them out and then the conversation falls apart.
Very funny.
So you're not interested in getting to know people face to face, but you want to collect every single bit of information about them behind their backs.
Is there any real difference between me watching that woman over there walk across the room, or watching her surf across the web? Yes, there is, she has no expectation of privacy here.
And what has the expectation of privacy on the web given us? Silk road? Sex trafficking and drug deals.
You can't hide behind the most egregious outliers of on-line society.
You stole that line from your husband.
I understand his concerns.
I watched that manifesto of his.
But P.
J.
was never willing to take time to hear me out.
Excuse me.
You know what? I'm in.
I'll hear you out.
You have a minute.
The world is generating 1.
7 million billion bytes of data per minute.
Six megabytes per day for every man, woman and child on the planet and almost all of it is wasted.
Dust in the digital wind.
Who knows what else is hidden in all that information we're throwing away? Big Pharma started sharing data, you know what they figured out? That desipramine, an antidepressant might help cure cancer.
96% of the data gathered on cancer patients goes unanalyzed.
What else is hidden in there? Isn't that at least worth a look? Portland, Oregon massively reduced its carbon footprint by using data to time its traffic lights better.
Tracking cell phones helped contain Ebola in Africa.
Tracking Ebola didn't make you a billionaire.
Knowledge is the engine of our economy.
Data is its fuel.
And my company refines the finest fuel in the world.
From oil that you steal from people.
Or whatever the fucking metaphor is.
I just want to know, how do people benefit from it? With enough data and enough analysis, there are no more Silk Roads.
Not on the web, not on our city streets.
I don't think that people understand what they're giving up.
And you don't understand how much they will get in return.
Are already getting in return.
New algorithms tracking social media are predicting potential suicides.
Hmm.
Time's up.
Very nice party.
If you're getting other offers for Bathwater, - I'll beat 'em.
- I'm not.
That program is worth You could name a figure.
Really? Really.
I have absolutely no idea where it is.
And even if I found it, I would never sell it to you.
I have to go home now.
[glass breaks.]
[gasps.]
KD, how long you been there for? You really can't see that he's been chosen? Who? Judge Harris.
Chosen? You came crying to me not long ago because of the darkness and sin Pernell lead you to.
The Lord corrected my error.
He sent me to correct yours.
Judge Harris has been anointed by God.
KD, I'm going home.
No.
I won't let you betray him.
Pull your head out of the sand.
He dragged you through a pit of evil.
I would be failing you as a pastor - Shut up! - Oh, jeez.
- Shut up! - I'm You are covered in the blood of Jesus Christ.
KD, don't let sin rule your heart.
Listen to me.
The things I said.
Whatever you heard, things you've seen.
Whatever you know, that stays between us and God.
Understand? I don't know what Yes, or no.
Yeah.
This is from him.
If it's me, I'm slitting your throat, and if you talk, I swear to God I will.
[panting.]
Judge Harris? The witness was Reverend Paul.
He's half the reason why I'm in this shit.
You don't have to worry about him.
Thanks, Keith.
[chattering.]
Well, you had your chance, boys.
It was a nice shot.
I'll give you that.
But when you come after somebody like me, it's a zero sum game.
You either kill me or, well you know.
You give that back to Pernell.
You tell him I'm not that guy anymore and I never will be again.
I told you, Reverend Paul.
You testify, you die.
Testify? What are you talking about? Here you go.
The assholes want to wait until the last second like we're doing a Law & Order episode.
Let them play their games.
So the witnesses name is Mike Alcala.
Ring a bell? [door opens.]
[phone rings.]
Yeah? You're kidding me.
Nah, I'll be right there.
Okay.
You brought me all the way back here for this bullshit? Just because you're getting fucked doesn't mean you should let your membership lapse.
You think there's American Judicial Association meetings in prison? You need some gang to belong to.
This was the last thing in my inbox.
Oh, well Well, now you have a Quizno's receipt.
Stop being a crybaby.
You okay, boss? I'm gonna need you to print me out another copy.
Okay.
What you writing, Dad? I never thought that I would ever lose you Haunts me every time I close my eyes And there's nothing I can do about my love for you It never dies Woke up in the morning to the blinding light Got so angry and it felt so right Just going to let it burn away for now I heard it from the mouth of your gun So this is it, what's done is done You just gotta let it ride away to her Droning of the bees and the roaming of your teeth The heat under my skin and the blood that flows within The dark behind your eyes that we all have deep inside The end of innocence and the losing of your pride But I never thought that I would ever lose you Haunts me every time I close my eyes And there's nothing I can do about my love for you It never dies
Moving on is easy to say In the off hours I dream away You've been gone but I still see your face Out there in the dark I'm out there in the dark Nobody knows me like you Nobody holds me like you Nobody scares me And tears me apart Like you do No, nobody [dog barking.]
[car beeps.]
Get down.
Get down! [phone chimes.]
Everything okay? Everything's fine, baby.
Okay, I'm ready now.
Can we start? [fly buzzes.]
[pounding.]
Show him the way back to you, Lord.
[humming.]
Now I'm in love again No, this time it's not with my hand Wandering murdering Every time that I get the chance I'm a human But, remember first, I'm a man These streets got me wandering Looking for my fix again I should've prayed the night before Now I'm losing everything I had Yesterday it felt so good But now today it feels so bad This doesn't feel right.
I should have gave Pernell a heads up.
No, you should've done this three weeks ago.
Then the papers would be talking about your new education initiative instead of how Pernell Harris gets special treatment 'cause the mayor's his lap dog.
Let me see the speech.
Cold little motherfucker, eh, son? Emotions are high, I get it.
But we have to remember the guiding principle of our justice system: innocent until proven guilty.
Now having said that, a San Vicente police officer was killed.
A devoted husband and loving father is no longer with us.
Someone must pay for that.
I have the utmost faith in our police department and in our district attorney that will happen.
I guarantee you justice for Sam Caldwell and his family.
[reporters shouting questions.]
[beeps.]
Step to the side, please.
Al, we got to do this every day? Only if you want to come inside.
[wand beeps.]
[chuckles.]
Have a good day, Judge Harris.
Fuck you.
They fixed the zipper.
Talk to the calendar clerk? Am I gonna be needing that robe anytime soon? She said it was a light month.
Full of shit.
Talked to Morgan.
She's got so many overflow cases, she's sending them to traffic court.
Why do they keep me on ice? You're charged with murder.
Charged, Randy, not convicted.
If I was a plumber, would they make me stop plumbing? If you were a plumber, you wouldn't be able to post bail.
SVPD called.
There's a box of P.
J.
's personal effects down there.
They want to turn it over to family now that he's officially gone.
What about Jocelyn? Knock, knock.
I called her first.
Guess she wasn't interested.
So it's either you or they toss it.
You're late.
I just left Stanton's office.
I've got news, good and bad.
Start with the good.
You were right about the DNA testing.
They used a low copy number analysis.
Well, that's not good news.
That's great news.
That's fucking game-changing news! - It helps.
- It helps? They built their entire case on that DNA.
That's the only thing connects me to Caldwell.
We already had gaps in the chain of custody.
Now they've got a testing process that's proven unreliable in court.
Forget about a trial, this thing won't even make it through evidentiary.
You haven't heard the bad news.
They have a witness.
What? Who? I don't have a name.
Well, they can't say they got a witness without giving the name.
We'll get a name soon enough, but, Pernell, I need to know, could someone have seen you do it? How could you have walked out of that office without getting a fucking name? I asked.
McCauley told Judge Stanton that they had to keep the name anonymous for the witness's safety.
And what did you say? You said, "okay?" Stop waiting for permission! You don't ask for a name, you fucking get the witness's name! Screaming's not going to change anything.
Let's just get through Monday's evidentiary hearing.
Well, thank you, Adam, I mean, that is one hell of a pep talk.
There's one more piece of good news.
Judge Stanton approved a six-hour window for you to leave your house arrest zone.
I just need to tell her exactly where you'll be.
Stockton.
What's in Stockton? I like my town With a little drop of poison Nobody knows They're lining up to go insane I'm all alone I smoke my friends down to the filter But I feel much cleaner after it rains She left in the fall That's her picture on the wall She always had that little drop of poison She left in the fall That's her picture on the wall She always had that little drop of poison Hey.
How you making out? I'm up $7.
All right.
You organized my shelves? You must be feeling better.
I'm hitting those closets next.
Yes, it came.
Yeah, it did, and who gave you permission to use my account? Mom, it's a book I need for school.
What book? The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian.
They banned it from the school library, so we're all getting our own copies and bringing them to school to show them they can't control our minds.
Mm-hmm.
Why was it banned? Because it's real.
It's got swearing and drug use and wait for it, people masturbating.
You think that belongs in high school? What else was there? Please, do not feed the animals.
You don't even read the books you're assigned.
Now you want to protest books that are being banned? Sometimes you have to take a stand for shit.
Well, you just be careful, Denise Louise.
You hear me? I just talked to Mom earlier.
She wants to do something tomorrow night.
You? Yeah, sure.
Is Denise's girlfriend coming? Haven't met her yet.
No, no.
Just the Murphy girls.
Hey, did you give Pernell my cell phone number? No.
Well, he left a message for you.
It's sweet.
Want to hear it? No, thank you.
Mm-kay.
[police radio chatter.]
Most people wait until they get home.
Thank you.
Hope you burn, piece of shit.
- Asshole.
- Murderer.
Let me help you with that, Judge.
You carrying his groceries for him, Kessler? The guy who killed Alex is on death row because of him, so yeah, I am.
You guys got nothing better to do, Toby? A cop killer walks into a police station, he's going to draw a crowd.
But don't worry, I won't let them hurt you.
I need you in one piece for this trial.
Well, thanks for the escort, but there's not going to be any trial, asshole.
Gonna have this piece of shit case kicked on Monday.
No, there's gonna be a trial.
And then there's gonna be prison.
How do you think Judge Maximum is going to make out when he's reunited with all the convicts that he's put away? You'll be begging me for that escort.
Hey.
You find it? Yeah.
I really need this back, though, okay? It's really important to Tucker.
Especially now, anything of Shane's.
Did you see the press conference? Should have left the kids at home.
DA called me, asked me to bring them.
Bullshit.
Don't let them exploit you like that.
They don't give a shit about you.
Julio, I just What is that? Insurance.
Insurance for what? You knew Shane was doing side jobs.
Yeah.
I knew he was pulling little favors and doing bodyguard stuff.
It's a lot more than that.
Neither of us liked it.
But we needed the money.
Okay, I told him I wanted him to stop.
They wouldn't let him.
Once he crossed that line, how could he say no? First, it's shakedowns.
Jacking dealers, pocketing money, losing evidence.
Then it's whatever they want it to be.
They've got a lot of guys like that, Heather.
He had no idea what he was getting into.
That what that key's about? Shane said he made a video.
Of what? I don't know, supposed to be protection.
In case he decided to say no.
He stashed it in a bus locker.
A lot of good that did him.
Yeah.
Look, it may not help Shane, but it might help you and the kids get set up.
I'll call you when I have something.
Yeah.
Hey.
Tell Tucker I'll buy him a new one.
All the meds came back fine.
Baby is perfect.
And Mommy is completely healthy, too, except for a slight Vitamin D deficiency.
You need to get some more sun, girl.
Have you made the father aware of your decision? Um no.
Do I have to? No, not legally.
But if he can be a part of the process, it does make things easier.
He can't be.
I don't even know where he is.
Left you to fend for yourself, huh? Don't feel bad, sweetie.
You are not the first girl to lay down with a loser.
Well, don't know that he's a loser.
He just can't be involved.
May I? Do you know him? No, I'm just not quick to judge.
I guess it's the Christian in me.
Mmm.
So, who's the lucky family? Uh, the Stolnjaks.
Oh my God, I can't wait to call them.
Seven long years they've been waiting, and you are their Super Lotto ticket.
They're gonna be so thrilled.
Why don't you go ahead and sign the contract so I can call the Stolnjaks? You're doing a wonderful thing for this family.
And for your baby.
Excuse me, I need to use the bathroom.
It's great that she's got you for support, Reverend Curtis.
It just tears my heart to see some of these young girls just get left in the cold by men who don't care enough to do the right thing.
Not even by their own kid.
No moral backbone.
Not enough men like you, am I right? Can can we can I keep this for her? Sure.
[phone rings.]
Woman: Hello? Dawn? Hey, it's Wendy from Agnes Christian Family Services.
[saw running.]
Never say he doesn't answer.
Praise Jesus.
Boy, you really messed this place up, didn't you? Yeah.
I'll make it good, though.
Jessie know you're doing this? Yes, sir.
Nothing a fresh coat of paint can't fix, huh? Hey, um, you need some money for the supplies, you just let me know, I can help with that.
No, my debt, no sir.
I pay.
You know what I'm up against, huh? Yeah.
But I know God won't fail us.
Listen, Keith, I'm trying to make this situation right for both of us.
Yeah.
But they got a witness.
Who? I don't have a name yet, but when I do I don't want to hurt anybody.
I just use this.
You give him $40,000.
You keep the rest for yourself.
No, I don't want your money.
No, I do this for God and for my Solomon.
Don't don't call me that, okay? I'm not Solomon, I'm not anointed.
- But you are.
- I'm Pernell Fucking Harris.
And I'm charged with murder.
God talks right to you.
Not anymore he doesn't.
I haven't had a hallucination or heard a voice since we spread P.
J.
's ashes.
Don't look at me like that.
That's the one thing I've got to be thankful for.
If there was a God, I'd thank him for that.
There is a God, and he shines.
If there was a God, my son would still be alive.
I'll call you when I get a name.
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord.
Plans for welfare, not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Jeremiah, 29:11.
I'm sorry, Keith.
I just don't believe that shit anymore.
That's all right.
I'll believe enough for the both of us.
Hey, thanks for coming.
Yeah, my driver's coming back around in five minutes.
What's up? Just enough time to have a toast.
Hell of a good time to be Robert Boston.
Here's to approval ratings going through the roof.
Okay, you're not listening.
We can't make this an all-nighter.
We got to toast to me, too, though.
Pernell Harris, charged with murder.
Estranged wife in Stockton won't even take his calls.
Best friend making "Someone will pay" statements all over TV.
What are you trying to say, I'm turning my back on you? I'm just keeping my distance until these charges are handled.
- You don't see that? - Hold on, hold on.
I haven't even told you the best part.
McCauley he says he's got a witness that connects me to the body.
Oh shit.
Is that possible? A witness? I don't think you've got time for that talk.
Shit.
Don't worry about it.
All you've got to do is reach out to Pete Janacek, get me the name of this witness.
Why you can't reach out to him? Same reason you can't be seen with me, man.
I'm toxic.
And I'm an elected official.
You want me to lean on a grand jury clerk? That's Watergate waiting to happen.
See what I mean? You're good at being careful.
Sometimes being careful means saying "No.
" My shit is heating up, Pernell.
My name's coming up in Sacramento and D.
C.
For real, man.
You want congratulations? No, I want you to understand what's at stake right about now.
I understand.
I understand exactly what happens if I go on trial.
You don't think Toby and McCauley want to take you down right alongside me? They're going to dig into everything we've done.
They're going to find things.
They're going to put you on the stand, Bobo.
Right along the same time people are going to be deciding whether to re-elect Robert Boston, and you'll be all over TruTv, trying to explain why you had Toby Clay bring in a cop for questioning.
That dead cop.
I get you a name, and you do what? No witness, no trial.
Not like that.
Then like what? You just give me the name of the witness.
I'll take care of it for the both of us.
Text me, I'll be in Stockton.
Someone loses something Hey, how much do you think I could get for my book? Shit.
Stacy got 15 for hers.
All the big wigs in yours, you could double that.
Why? This baby's got me thinking it might be time to wrap it up.
Oh, no, no, that's backwards thinking.
A baby means you need to ramp it up.
No, I'm not working while I'm pregnant.
Why not? Girl, the first six months, they don't even notice.
The last three months, freaks'll pay you double because you are.
Whatever.
You know I'm right.
Oh, when you start lactating, now that shit's a goldmine.
- They want to suck it - Carla.
Stop being ratchet.
Excuse me? Miss Prissy, didn't mean to get real on you, but you know, kids cost.
'Cause they want to eat and have clothes to wear.
And a place to sleep, and, oh yeah, they want to be somebody when they grow up, and that shit's on you.
I know that, and I have money put away.
Huh, yeah? Well, whatever it is, it ain't enough.
Look, it's not just the money I'm thinking about.
I'm keeping this baby.
I want to raise it right.
And a working girl can't be a good mommy? I got two kids on honor roll.
They go to Kumon and piano lessons, and learn French, bitch.
Fucking well adjusted kids with college funds in the bank paid for.
I'm not saying you can't be a working girl and be a good mommy.
I'm just saying I can't.
And I'm just saying, fuck you.
Denise.
It is Denise, right? Wait here.
[phone buzzes.]
Hey, Tammy.
Crystal's not here.
Where is she? [bell dings.]
From the guy at the counter.
[sighs.]
Ah.
I'm not ready for this.
Well, maybe it's like jumping into cold water.
I mean, you're never ready, but once you get in, you get used to it and you're glad you did it.
I'm not talking about us.
Fine, let's talk about you.
Not that either.
Aren't you under house arrest? I got six hours so I could come see you.
I'm gonna beat the charge.
I'm gonna put everything back to the way it was.
But none of it's going to mean anything if you're not with me.
You really don't listen, do you? Oh, okay, I'm sorry.
Crys, come on.
You don't miss San Vicente? I do miss some things.
The steaks at the Corner Club.
Mmm.
You know, you really don't appreciate them until you're eating surf and turf at an Applebee's wannabe.
Well, we could be there in an hour.
You know what I don't miss? My husband on the hotline to Heaven.
I'm not having visions anymore.
I swear to God.
I mean I swear.
So you don't think any of that came from God? The voices, the visions? No, I think it was temporary insanity.
What about Anne Wu? She did order the rape.
She did steal P.
J.
's program.
How could you be right about that? I don't have that part of it figured out yet.
All I know is it wasn't God.
Whenever you're ready.
- I'm ready.
- I got this.
[beeping.]
Warning, you are outside the designated zone.
My ankle monitor.
Return to an authorized location.
I'm supposed to stay within a certain distance of the address I gave them.
Well, then you better get going.
Well, it'd be okay if we were at your sister's house.
Go home.
Crys.
Crys? Police gave me a box of P.
J.
's stuff.
[beeps.]
Warning, you are outside the designated zone.
Return to an authorized location.
Shane never told me that he was involved.
He tried to keep you out of it.
You heard him on there, right? You heard his voice.
He didn't want to be there.
He didn't have a choice.
No, this is too risky.
Julio, if they find out what you're doing Only one person is going to find out.
Do you think he's gonna pay? He's obsessed with his son.
When he sees what is on this video, he'll pay.
Heather, there's no one to protect anymore.
Except you.
[chuckles.]
Which one's yours? Bottom.
Mm-hmm.
[pigeons cooing.]
They come every day.
Tammy leaves seeds for them.
Mind if I $471 and 26 cents.
What was he doing with all that cash? You want it? No.
I think he read an article.
Decided credit cards were evil.
[sighs.]
Still smells like him.
Didn't P.
J.
give this to you for your birthday? I thought I lost that.
About two years ago.
What's P.
J.
doing with my signing pen? Signing his suicide note? [laughs.]
[cries.]
[sobs.]
[footsteps.]
I'm looking for Judge Harris.
He isn't in.
Do you know when he will be? What's this about? I'll come back later.
Drive safely.
Come back with me, Crys.
I'm serious, let's just get all your things and get out of here right now.
Don't push it, Pernell.
I have to.
I love you.
It's more than that.
I can't live without you.
If I didn't have this shit on my ankle, I would go buy a Winnebago right now and park it in your fucking sister's front yard.
Oh, right.
You see? You see? If we play this thing right, maybe we'll be back to laughing one day.
What's here, Crys? Back in San Vicente, you were throwing galas.
You were going to opening night of the ballet.
Your big night here is, what? The Voice? Couple of boxes of wine? Crys? That's how easy it is.
What? You said "wine".
I thought of the wine bottle.
I thought of Anne.
I thought if I hadn't gotten there before you, I never would've And how I was only going there to protect you.
And how I hate That's how easy it is.
You love me.
You remember that? Yeah, I do.
But I remember everything, and it's not enough.
Even for love.
[horn honking.]
Asa? Are you Asa? Where's where's Pernell? He's visiting his wife.
He sent me.
He said you got a name for me.
Have him call me when he gets back.
No, look.
You're just going to tell Judge Harris the name, he's going to tell me.
So what's the difference? I know him, I don't know you, okay? No, no, I can't let you go unless you tell me that name.
Okay, okay, man.
Just ease up.
Ease up, man! I gotta Oh, shit! Get the fuck off of me! Where were you going? Man, get the fuck off of me, man! I don't want to hurt you.
Just tell me the name.
I'll break this.
Okay, Paul Curtis.
Paul Curtis.
Get the fuck off of me, man! [car starts.]
Hey, kid.
It's Daddy.
How are you doing? You ready? I hope you know I'm doing this for you.
I hope someday that you can forgive me.
It's not 'cause I don't love you.
It's because I do.
You deserve a good family.
A good daddy.
[kisses.]
It's just tiny little things.
She has these tattoos.
Oh, Jesus.
On both of her boobs.
Save one for me, role models.
Here.
No, no, no, no.
She's 16.
And I'm sure alcohol has never passed her lips.
Oh, no.
Of course not.
Hey, hey, I was 17 the first time I ever tried any of that.
Bullshit, you were eight.
Eight? You were eight? Oh my God, yeah.
When I fell in the toilet.
Wait, what happened? - Ask her.
- For God's sake.
I your mom and Aunt Sherry, they didn't want to go to sleep and I was fucking tired.
So I made them some hot chocolate.
And put a little rum in it.
Too much rum, way too much rum.
Sherry just passed out, and your mom, she just got plain stupid.
Yeah, I forgot to put the toilet seat down.
You fell in the toilet? I was a baby.
I just fell in the seat.
And this was a trailer toilet, so it's smurf piss.
There's no water in there, okay? So, blue down there for like, a week.
What'd you do, grandma? Did you whup their asses? - No.
- Grandma wasn't there.
No, she wasn't there.
Grandma was in the hospital.
She was trying to pull a P.
J.
What do you mean? It was a long time ago.
You know, ach.
But pills.
What? Sorry.
Too soon? Over a month, you've been here.
Never talked about P.
J.
Didn't even invite us to the funeral.
You made us tip-toe all around what happened.
So this is how it comes up.
Ma, she asked a question.
I answered it.
Of course you did.
Why should I be so surprised you wait until you can take it out on me? Oh.
Take it out on you.
P.
J.
I'm just talking about how you weren't there because you swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills.
Okay, whatever we're talking about, can we stop? - Please? - No.
No, no, no.
We're here now.
We are here and I would like to know.
Did you ever once stop to think about how it would affect my sisters or me? You? [scoffs.]
You get out of your head, girl.
I was to the point where I was ready to take my last breath.
I wasn't thinking about you.
And I promise you, in that moment, your precious P.
J.
wasn't thinking about you either.
I'm sorry.
Too soon? Mom.
Ma, wait.
We aren't the only ones who miss him, you know.
I'm not talking about P.
J.
But there's this memorial website.
You should see it, Aunt Crystal.
I mean, thousands of people have posted messages for him.
I mean, look, all these people loved him.
Jesus Christ.
Are you deaf, are you stupid, or are you just being a fucking bitch? I learned to lay my head On the bed I made Fuck, you gave him the name? Dad, he had me pinned on the ground like we were fighting at recess.
His knees were on my arms and shit.
Hey, hey.
Thanks.
You could have made something up.
Right? You got to be quicker on your feet.
Think.
So he can find me and kill me for lying to him? This is a bona this is a bonafide killer we're talking about.
Lower your voice.
We don't know that for sure.
Fuck! Man: Great party, Mayor Boston! I told you this was a mistake.
I don't understand why you keep putting yourself out there like that.
Hey, you don't ask that question, okay? He's my friend, your godfather.
That's why.
Go wash up.
Val.
Why are you empty handed? You know what, let's get you a glass of champagne, huh? Pernell should be here, Robert.
Yes, I talked to Pernell, and he agreed that having you represent the Harris family trust was best.
He hasn't been convicted of anything.
Yes, ma'am, this is true, but people start trying his case every time he walks into a room.
Which would distract from the theme of this evening, don't you think? Let me take care of some business.
Hey, can I get your attention? I'm sorry, everybody.
Everybody, your attention please.
Can you gather around? I want to thank everybody for coming.
- I mean that.
- Good evening.
You see this? This is a picture of me when I was nine years old.
And you could already see I had an inspired sense of style.
Am I rocking specs? I think I'm rocking specs.
I mean, whoever let me walk out of the house wearing that Wizard of Oz bowtie should have been reported to child protection services, but that's another story.
But the reason I wanted you to see this picture was that was the year that changed my life.
When I was nine years old I wrote a paper in school about what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I said I wanted to be a janitor, because my father was a janitor at city hall.
And I worshipped my father.
I got an A+ on that paper.
Brung it home all proud, but when I gave it to my father, he ripped it up right in front of me and said, "Well, if all you want to be is a janitor, what the hell do you need an education for?" True story.
I was lucky, I had a mother and father who made me dream big and strive for more.
I mean, it was obvious my school didn't care.
Now, I work in the same offices where my father used to sweep and mop, and I'm not a janitor.
My name is Robert Boston, the mayor, your mayor, of San Vicente.
Thank you, thank you so much.
I appreciate it, I'm proud of what I've accomplished.
But the one thing I'm not proud of is our schools.
Public education is a disgrace in this country, and I'm sorry to say, in our city, too.
That's why I created the REAL initiative.
REAL.
Reviving Education and Leadership.
REAL.
It will fix our schools.
It will change our future.
Bayard Rustin said, "The proof that one truly believes is in action.
" Are we ready to take action? - Crowd: Yes! - I know some of you are.
The Harris Family Trust and our host for this evening Nathan Brooks have each committed 10 million dollars to the REAL initiative.
Thank you.
[cheering.]
Thank you so much.
That means we're halfway there.
They believe.
Do you believe? Crowd: Yes.
Then let's get them checkbooks out.
[sighs.]
You awake? Yeah.
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
No, it's not.
My dad hit me once.
A real punch.
Mom said it was because he was mad at the world, not at me.
It's not okay, either.
I'm just saying I get it.
Do you know whatever happened to P.
J.
's software? No.
Don't you think you should? [crowd chattering.]
I'm not that great at parties, either.
So you're, what, a wallflower billionaire? Seems a very unlikely combination.
Not shy, bored.
I'm afraid I lose interest in most people fairly quickly.
Hi, can I have water, please? Of course.
I begin to tune them out and then the conversation falls apart.
Very funny.
So you're not interested in getting to know people face to face, but you want to collect every single bit of information about them behind their backs.
Is there any real difference between me watching that woman over there walk across the room, or watching her surf across the web? Yes, there is, she has no expectation of privacy here.
And what has the expectation of privacy on the web given us? Silk road? Sex trafficking and drug deals.
You can't hide behind the most egregious outliers of on-line society.
You stole that line from your husband.
I understand his concerns.
I watched that manifesto of his.
But P.
J.
was never willing to take time to hear me out.
Excuse me.
You know what? I'm in.
I'll hear you out.
You have a minute.
The world is generating 1.
7 million billion bytes of data per minute.
Six megabytes per day for every man, woman and child on the planet and almost all of it is wasted.
Dust in the digital wind.
Who knows what else is hidden in all that information we're throwing away? Big Pharma started sharing data, you know what they figured out? That desipramine, an antidepressant might help cure cancer.
96% of the data gathered on cancer patients goes unanalyzed.
What else is hidden in there? Isn't that at least worth a look? Portland, Oregon massively reduced its carbon footprint by using data to time its traffic lights better.
Tracking cell phones helped contain Ebola in Africa.
Tracking Ebola didn't make you a billionaire.
Knowledge is the engine of our economy.
Data is its fuel.
And my company refines the finest fuel in the world.
From oil that you steal from people.
Or whatever the fucking metaphor is.
I just want to know, how do people benefit from it? With enough data and enough analysis, there are no more Silk Roads.
Not on the web, not on our city streets.
I don't think that people understand what they're giving up.
And you don't understand how much they will get in return.
Are already getting in return.
New algorithms tracking social media are predicting potential suicides.
Hmm.
Time's up.
Very nice party.
If you're getting other offers for Bathwater, - I'll beat 'em.
- I'm not.
That program is worth You could name a figure.
Really? Really.
I have absolutely no idea where it is.
And even if I found it, I would never sell it to you.
I have to go home now.
[glass breaks.]
[gasps.]
KD, how long you been there for? You really can't see that he's been chosen? Who? Judge Harris.
Chosen? You came crying to me not long ago because of the darkness and sin Pernell lead you to.
The Lord corrected my error.
He sent me to correct yours.
Judge Harris has been anointed by God.
KD, I'm going home.
No.
I won't let you betray him.
Pull your head out of the sand.
He dragged you through a pit of evil.
I would be failing you as a pastor - Shut up! - Oh, jeez.
- Shut up! - I'm You are covered in the blood of Jesus Christ.
KD, don't let sin rule your heart.
Listen to me.
The things I said.
Whatever you heard, things you've seen.
Whatever you know, that stays between us and God.
Understand? I don't know what Yes, or no.
Yeah.
This is from him.
If it's me, I'm slitting your throat, and if you talk, I swear to God I will.
[panting.]
Judge Harris? The witness was Reverend Paul.
He's half the reason why I'm in this shit.
You don't have to worry about him.
Thanks, Keith.
[chattering.]
Well, you had your chance, boys.
It was a nice shot.
I'll give you that.
But when you come after somebody like me, it's a zero sum game.
You either kill me or, well you know.
You give that back to Pernell.
You tell him I'm not that guy anymore and I never will be again.
I told you, Reverend Paul.
You testify, you die.
Testify? What are you talking about? Here you go.
The assholes want to wait until the last second like we're doing a Law & Order episode.
Let them play their games.
So the witnesses name is Mike Alcala.
Ring a bell? [door opens.]
[phone rings.]
Yeah? You're kidding me.
Nah, I'll be right there.
Okay.
You brought me all the way back here for this bullshit? Just because you're getting fucked doesn't mean you should let your membership lapse.
You think there's American Judicial Association meetings in prison? You need some gang to belong to.
This was the last thing in my inbox.
Oh, well Well, now you have a Quizno's receipt.
Stop being a crybaby.
You okay, boss? I'm gonna need you to print me out another copy.
Okay.
What you writing, Dad? I never thought that I would ever lose you Haunts me every time I close my eyes And there's nothing I can do about my love for you It never dies Woke up in the morning to the blinding light Got so angry and it felt so right Just going to let it burn away for now I heard it from the mouth of your gun So this is it, what's done is done You just gotta let it ride away to her Droning of the bees and the roaming of your teeth The heat under my skin and the blood that flows within The dark behind your eyes that we all have deep inside The end of innocence and the losing of your pride But I never thought that I would ever lose you Haunts me every time I close my eyes And there's nothing I can do about my love for you It never dies
