- I found a case.
- Andy Josiah.

He shot him in the
back. In front of his son.

Andy Josiah's family deserves

a full, transparent
investigation into his death,

which is why I have
appointed Aaron Wallace

as special prosecutor
in this case.

You asked for this.

I need people I can trust.
And that's you and Henry.

We've got nothing
without witnesses or video.

Our only chance of
video is surveillance

from the cams in
the neighborhood.

I see you have a
camera on the side of the building.

That camera has
been broken for weeks.

If the cops told you
to get rid of that video,

you can be charged
with obstruction of justice.

I understand that
you were scared,

but now you don't have a choice.

Show us the video.

In light of newly
discovered evidence,

the people would like to charge
Officers Lindsley and Matranga

with manslaughter
in the first degree.

That cop Matranga
came by my house.

I'm sorry for your loss.

It means he's hiding something.

Sherwin, what happened?

You said you were
going to protect me!

I cannot believe this.

I cannot believe
this is happening.

I know. I know. Just try
to calm down, Sherwin.

Calm down and tell
me what happened.

This woman, she
came into the store.

And she said she was
picking up some beer

for her father's birthday party.

She said she forgot her ID.

So... So you sold it to her?

I swear, she looked
like she was 30.

B-But she was working
undercover with the cops.

And she was underage.

They're going to put
me away for a year

a-and take away
my liquor license.

You're not going away
for a year, Sherwin.

It's a scare tactic.

Y-You said the... the
Grand Jury would be sealed,

that this would all be a secret.

I know. There was
a-a leak somehow.

You should have
known this would happen.

Or maybe you did
and you just didn't care.

As long as you got what
you needed from me.

Hey, hey, hey. No one
told you to sell alcohol

to a young person without
checking for ID, alright?

But we'll get you
a very good lawyer.

Pro Bono.

We will help you with this.

You were arrested for
something you didn't deserve.

Yeah.

So look me in the eye,
Mr. Wallace, and tell me

did you know something
like this could happen?

Like I said, we'll
get you a lawyer.

Free of charge.

I'm not stupid, Ms. Masry.

If I refuse to help you,

they will drop these
charges and leave me alone.

You came forward because
it was the right thing to do.

Now they're coming
after me and my family.

So no. Enough.

You already authenticated
the video once, Sherwin.

Before a Grand Jury, under oath.

So if you refuse to help us,

we can subpoena you and
force you to take the stand,

and then you'll have to
authenticate the video again

or contradict your
previous testimony,

which will be perjury, a
far more serious crime

than selling alcohol to a minor.

I'm sorry. But it's...
It's just where we are.

It'll be much easier for
you if you cooperate.

So.

What's this about you,
wanting to grill me?

I need to hear your side of
the story, Lieutenant Diaz.

Yeah. Anything for Eddie.

Then run me through it.

Not much to tell.

I arrived on scene at 9:10
p. M. After receiving a 10-57.

Upon my arrival, I assessed
that Officer Lindsley and Matranga

had pulled a suspect over
for being on his cellphone

and during what would have
been a normal traffic stop,

the suspect reached
into his vehicle

for what Officer Lindsley
perceived to be a weapon.

Officer Lindsley then
discharged his weapon.

And what about the bodega
owner, Sherwin Maloof?

What about him?

What did you say to him
when you went in there?

Standard procedure
witness interview.

You didn't collect any evidence?

Why do you ask?

Because the prosecution

entered surveillance cam
video footage at the Grand Jury,

but no one mentioned
to me that it existed,

and it wasn't
included in the file.

The bodega owner told me
the cameras weren't working.

And you took him at his word?

There's Lieutenant Diaz
wrapping up with Ed Lindsley.

Now he's walking
over to Matranga

to give him a talking-to.

So Diaz shows up, tells them
what the story needs to be,

has Matranga
fill out the report.

So the innocent
one is on the hook,

and the shooter has
never signed anything

or even given a statement.

Not so innocent if he's
part of the cover-up.

- Hey.
- Hey.

How'd it land with Sherwin?

I had to strong-arm him a bit,

but I think he'll come around.

Did you figure out
anything on Matranga?

Pretty classic
circling the wagons,

but if Matranga's squirming,
maybe we have an opening.

What's our point of leverage?

He was in the car when
the shooting happened.

Lieutenant forced him to
take the heat, lie on his report.

Is it enough to
take a run at him?

Be a lot better if we
had Marcel's statement.

That they changed their story

about why they pulled
him over to begin with.

I think I better
handle this one alone.

But he already
told you the story.

Why do you want to make
him go through it all over again?

We just need to record
him saying the part

about having Andy's
phone in the back seat.

That's all it'll take.

I get it, but why
didn't you do it before?

When he told you the first time.

I'm sorry. Something came up.

This may be the
only way to nail him.

Mom?

Hey, Marcel. How
you doing, big man?

I saw a commercial
for "Tiger Time."

Honey.

Maybe take a break
from TV for a little.

They used to watch it
together before school.

I'll read you a story, okay?

If Lindsley had 14 civilian
complaints against him

that means somebody buried them.

I think we should go after

whoever kept letting
him out on the street.

Subpoena the IAB
records. Absolutely.

That's a full-on
declaration of war.

Well, they just manufactured
an arrest against our star witness

to try to coerce him.

That's not all.

There's a new hit piece.

On Andy?

On us.

What?

Better to be a progressive
warden than a regressive drunk.

Last I checked anyway.

"Incompetent amateurs with
no people of color on his staff."

Thanks. The Post is always a
mouthpiece for the police union.

But they talk about
Collars for Dollars.

What? That we dropped
the case, laid off the police.

Yeah, doesn't say
why, though, does it?

The story's getting traction.

I'd be more than happy
for people to know

it was the Attorney General
who forced us to make that trade.

We can't go scorched
earth. Not now.

We have to fight back
somehow, don't we?

Let's get on that subpoena.

Come on in. You sing, too.

You want to sing to the baby?

You want to sing to your sister?

Hello? Man: Guess
it didn't take long

to forget who you are, Wallace?

Everybody knows you're just a...

Another one?

Yeah.

We might have to
change our number.

You all right?

We never should have
dropped Collars for Dollars.

And if you kept going, spent
two years in court, and lost?

You made the only
choice you could've,

even if you can never tell
anyone how it went down.

I gotta win this, Marie.

No matter what.

God, don't tell me they
have your cellphone, too.

It's Henry.

Maybe he can't sleep, either.

Hey.

Hey, you getting
crank calls, too? Yeah.

I just breathe real heavy,
and they hang right up.

Maybe I ought to try that.

So, listen, I've
been poring over

these internal police records,

and I think I found
a game-changer.

Alright. Hit me with it.

The guy who swept all Lindsley's
bad reports under the rug...

Lieutenant Marco Diaz.

Which means he was covering
his ass as much as anybody's.

I'd sure love to leak the IABs

or the civilian
complaints to the press,

redirect the story in our favor.

The judge will crucify us.

So, Safiya's gonna pay
Sherwin another visit,

see if he'll admit Diaz
muscled him about the video.

Where you at with Marcel?

He's not up for that right now.

Look, I know it's rough,
Aaron, but we really need it.

We just keep pushing,

this whole thing's gonna
tip like a house of cards.

Alright.

First thing in the morning.

Okay, buddy.

You understand the
people you're up against

are a, pretty
unconventional group.

Yeah, the press is
having some fun with that.

That may be, but I hope
you're not taking them lightly.

I didn't get to where I am

by taking anything
lightly, Mr. Burke.

Taking this case
was a shrewd move.

Getting your bona fides
with the police union

ahead of making your
run for Manhattan DA.

I'm not surprised you
did your due diligence.

Then maybe onto this,

then onto Washington.

I'm not planning
that far in advance.

Sure you are.

And it's a good time for
someone like yourself.

You're in a position to
play both sides of the aisle.

But I warn you, you can
also alienate both sides

if you're not careful.

Did you invite me here
for career counseling,

or was there something
specific you wanted to discuss?

Aaron Wallace has a knack
for winning against all odds,

and juries tend to
be sympathetic to him

because of what
he's been through.

If I were you, I'd
think long and hard

before stepping foot
into a courtroom on this.

If you lose, the police union
will never come back to you.

And even if you win,

do you really want to
walk into Queens Supreme

next to the racist cop who shot
one of your own in the back?

Those images tend to
have a very long shelf life

in a public career.

Are you telling me to do
what's in my own interest

instead of my client?

I'm telling you... work out a
deal here, everybody wins.

Mr. Wallace, why'd you
drop Collars for Dollars?

Is that why you were
appointed Special Prosecutor?

Are you trying to
make up for it now?

People are saying
they have no faith

in your ability to deliver
justice for Mr. Josiah.

Is that why you're
coming to see his wife?

- Any comment?
- Mr. Wallace?

I can't right now, Aaron.

If it's about what you read
about me, I can explain.

It's not about you, Aaron.

I don't give a damn
about that right now.

Mrs. Josiah, can you tell
us what you're talking about?

You're on her
property! Now step back!

If I could just come inside...

You wanna put Marcel
through that again?

Then you ask him.

'Cause I just got him to sleep
after he's been up all night

too scared of whatever's
going on in his head.

So come on in.

Go. Wake him up.

I'm sorry, Elaine.

Mr. Wallace, what
was that about?

Is there a rift between
you and Mrs. Josiah?

Mr. Wallace, any comment?

What's going on here?

We posted a petition

demanding that the police
drop the charges against Ronnie.

Over 9,000 signatures
in less than a few hours.

Hold on. You wrote
that he got arrested?

At a peaceful protest,

and that the cops assaulted
him for literally no reason.

Did you ask Ronnie about this?

Yeah, he was down.

Do his parents know?

I don't know. I guess.

Take it down. Dad...

You're putting him in the
middle of a media circus,

and you're creating
another headache for me.

Now take it down. Right now.

O-Okay. Yes. Right away.

Tell me this was her idea.

We were sort of
feeding off of each other.

You didn't have the
sense to talk her out of it?

Or at least ask me

how this was gonna affect
what we're doing here?

The way they've
been gunning for us,

we figured it was
gonna come out anyway.

This is how we were
getting in front of it.

It's not "us," Charlotte.

It's me. And my family.

You're right. I'm sorry.

It's no badge of honor for a
young black man to get arrested.

Even if he's protesting,
even if he's innocent.

Now please just

just get back to
your work on Diaz.

Yes.

The bodega owner won't
even talk to us right now,

but we subpoenaed the IABs.

Diaz has been covering
for Lindsley for a decade.

Blue Wall's high in Manhattan.

In Staten Island,
it's in the clouds.

So can you dig around for me?

Look.

You thought I was out on a
limb with Collars for Dollars?

This is...

You don't realize what
you're asking of me.

No, I-I do.

No, you don't, Henry.

This is Serpico time.

You remember what
happened to him?

Well, it's a different time.

It's not different enough.

I get it.

I appreciate your stopping by.

Alright. Take care.

You know... how we
used to break the perps.

Even if we didn't have squat,
we'd make 'em think that we did

and turn them
against each other.

Even if the bodega owner
won't corroborate the video.

Bluff if you have to.

See what happens.

So you're willing to
offer my client immunity.

That's right.

And all he has to do
is rat on his partner

and throw his
lieutenant under the bus.

If he wants to avoid
time upstate, yeah.

That'd be the move.

Why don't we show him the video?

This is surveillance footage
from outside the bodega

the night Andy Josiah was shot.

It's all cued up for you.

All you gotta do is press play.

Obviously, we don't
need to remind you

that everything
we talk about here,

you're obligated to
share with your client.

I'm really sorry, Dad.

I-I didn't mean to mess
anything up for you.

I know you didn't, sweetheart,

but you got to
think long and hard

before you do
something like that.

I get it.

And Ronnie's parents
weren't happy about it, either.

Put him on speaker.

Aaron, it's Ronnie.

Look, I don't want you
taking this out on Jazz.

I was the one
pushing for it, too.

You read what some people
are saying about you online now?

I can take it if it means
standing up for what's right.

Listen, I get that you want

to fight this thing
in your own way,

but you gotta understand
that something like this

can follow you around
for the rest of your life.

Pull over.

Dad? What is that?

I don't know. I must have
been speeding or something.

I-I'm staying on.
Keep me on the phone.

They need to know
that you're not alone.

Dad?

Relax, sweetheart.

They're coming toward the car.

I'm gonna talk to them, alright?

Just be quiet.

The point is to let
them know I'm listening.

Jazz, just... please.

Evening, Officer.

You know the drill.
Let's see your paperwork.

I'm just gonna reach
into the glove box

and get my registration.

Is that all right?

Dad?

Hey, you on the phone?

I'm talking to my daughter.
I'm on my way home.

Hang up. It's our time now.

Dad?

I'll call you back, sweetheart.

I'll be fine.

Dad? Dad?!

I guess she's worried about me.

We tell you to do that?

You told me you didn't want
me on the phone with her.

Just give me the papers.

What do you want me to do?

Turn off the phone.

Mom. The cops pulled
Dad over for no reason.

I was on the phone with him,
and they made him hang up.

I keep calling him
back. He's not picking up.

He's taking a long
time to run the plates.

They kept me waiting
for almost two hours

to intimidate me and
make me late for my curfew.

You're saying they
knew who you were?

That they followed you?

Do you doubt it?

Daddy!

Dad, I thought they killed you.

It's okay, sweetheart.

You're not gonna file this
as a violation, are you?

Did you happen to get
their badge numbers?

I was on the phone with him
when they pulled him over.

We both were. I
heard the sirens.

Tell me where you
were pulled over.

I'll see if I can corroborate.

East Hawthorne and
Woodhull Avenue.

Come on.

Let's get inside.

Come on. Pick up, pick up.

Who are you calling?

The AG again. No response.

He's never gonna pick
up at 1:00 in the morning.

Not even for you.

Can't believe they
think they can do this

to a special prosecutor.

Well, ever hear of
Thurgood Marshall?

Well, we have to get Burke to
launch a separate investigation.

Two cops pulled a guy
over and ran his plates?

Good luck proving
conspiracy theory on that.

Burke?

Andrea Kayser.

What? Your journalist?

Andy.

Tell me you're not calling me

for a comment on
that pathetic hit piece.

I'm afraid it's a little
more substantial

than taking shots at
your extracurricular habits.

I don't like the sound of that.

Did Staten Island brass
bury the CCRB complaints

about Officer Lindsley?

Don't know where you heard that.

I've got plenty of
sources, Henry.

In fact, I'm surprised you
haven't leaked it already.

We're playing this
one by the book.

Well, that's one
way I can interpret it.

The other way is
that the same people

who buried the
Collars for Dollars

are a bit soft around
the midsection.

For not doing
something unethical?

I'm going hot with
this story tomorrow,

so now's your chance to comment.

Me? Why not Aaron?

You're the one who killed
the police oversight bill.

You're gonna include that?

If I don't print it, you
know another reporter will.

I'm giving you the
chance to get ahead of it.

Henry?

No comment, Andrea.

Appreciate the heads-up.

What was that?

Guess it was just
a matter of time.

The man was murdered.

Shot in the back.

And why do so many
people have to suffer

for him to get justice?

Henry should have known
his past would come up.

Henry's the least of it.

It's Sherwin, Elaine,
Marcel, you, Jazz, Ronnie...

Everything you're sacrificing

all the people doubting
you, all the hurt,

it's going to fuel you.

Just like it did when you
were fighting for yourself.

Yeah, but I'm
fighting for Andy now.

And I'm not even
sure he'd want all this.

Or maybe he'd want
somebody more ruthless.

I don't know which
way I'm supposed to go.

You can do this
without losing yourself.

I was scared.

When they pulled
me over tonight.

I was really scared.

I know.

We all were.

Not hearing from
you for so long.

I'm in over my head, Marie.

You know, when I was in prison
and I'd take on those cases

I'd map it out in my head.

I could see all the
ways it was gonna go.

And even see where I might lose.

I could predict it.

But this...

There's a reason

why you watch those
videos of Andy every night.

He's calling to you.

Or you're calling to him.

Get a shot of the
surveillance camera.

You got it.

Hi. Hi.

You're that cop
lawyer I saw on TV.

Shame on you.

Hi, Aaron.

How you doin', Marcel?

You be him, I'll be Tank.

We're fighting our
way out of school.

Um.

Hey, Marcel?

I'm gonna need
you to tell me again

what happened to your dad
the night he got pulled over.

But I already did.

I know. And I'm sorry.

But I'm gonna need
you to tell me again.

No.

This is really
important, Marcel.

I don't want to.

I know. I'm so sorry.

But we're gonna have to do this.

He said my dad did a bad U-turn.

And you're
sure it had nothing to do

with him talking
on the cellphone?

No. I had the phone in the back.

I was watching "Elephants."

You like elephants, Marcel?

My dad and I used to
watch together all the time.

I know you miss him.

Everybody keeps telling
me I'll see him again one day.

When will that be, Aaron?

I didn't know what to say there.

So you manipulated a kid

into putting a guilt trip
on a cellphone video.

There's no saying he's
gonna pass a swear ability test.

This little boy watched his
father get shot in the back,

and every time I have to make
Marcel go back to that night,

he has to see
him get shot again.

He has to see him.

On the ground.

Bloody. Screaming.

And he has to carry
that for the rest of his life.

Yeah.

You look away.

The U-turn on that
intersection was legal.

Is that why you
lied on your report?

Made up that Andy
was using his cellphone?

That's what we thought we saw.

Was it that?

Or was it a "driving while
black" thing all along?

Give me a break.

I think we should show
him the surveillance footage.

I've already told
him what's on it.

I know. I think he should
see it with his own eyes.

That's why you
came here, right, Phil?

Now, you were in the
car when all this was going down.

No way you could have
known what was going on.

No way to know if Andy
was provoking or resisting.

So why, in your report,

did it imply that you were
standing by the victim's car

observing his behavior?

You came running out afterward,

calling an ambulance,
like you should have.

And there's your partner,

pointing a gun at a 7-year-old.

Looks to me like you're
yelling at him to stop.

You know you can't hinge
your case on any of this.

Let's fast-forward.

There's Lieutenant Diaz

spending a lot of time
telling you what's what.

We believe he's the one who
told you to change your story.

Never even had Lindsley complete
a report or make a statement.

He put you in the hot seat.

Then he walks into the bodega

to lean on the owner
to bury this video.

Did you know about that?

I had no idea what
he was doing in there.

But falsifying the report

hinged on Diaz believing
there was no video.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have
put yourself in that position.

You don't have to
go down for them.

Think of yourself.

Think of your family.

So what are they
offering exactly?

Immunity.

If you testify against
Lindsley and Lieutenant Diaz.

Well, we have certainly
got a lot to think about.

Phil?

Heard what you needed to hear.

Let's go talk now?

You had him.

Just about.

He's going back to
the cop cave now.

They're gonna lean on
him from every angle.

We need the footage
from inside the bodega.

We've pushed Sherwin enough.

At this point, even
if we subpoena him,

who knows what he's gonna say?

So we just let all that go?

We make a horse trade.

Offer to stand down on Diaz

if they drop the
charges on Sherwin.

But the lieutenant's dirty.

And in some ways he's
worse than Lindsley.

Because he sent a guy
he knew was dangerous

back on the street.

And then he coerced
Matranga into lying.

He's the institution.

We can't let him off the hook.

She's right.

We have a chance
to take a bigger swing

than we even imagined.

I know.

But Sherwin's gonna
lose everything he built.

I don't want to
muscle him no more.

I'm afraid we might
have to withdraw

from the joint
defense agreement.

Matranga's gonna
flip? I'm not saying that.

But I want you to
know that our interests

may end up not being aligned.

It's the video.

They showed it to me.

And?

Let's just say there
are inconsistencies

with my client's statement and
what the surveillance shows.

But the fact is, they
may not be able to use it

if the bodega owner crumbles.

What are you talking about?

He was arrested for
selling alcohol to a minor.

That can't be a coincidence.

The point is, if
they lose the video,

their entire case falls apart.

That's what you
should tell your client.

And if he happens
to speak to mine,

he should probably be
impassioned about that.

I need five minutes.

You know, I had a customer
in here calling me a snitch.

And I had protestors from the
other side in front of the shop,

as if I had something
to do with killing Andy.

I'll never be able to stay here.

I'll have to sell the shop for a
fraction of what it's worth now.

I may have a solution
that will work for everybody.

Book a trip to see
your brother in Iran.

Just for a few weeks, and
when the smoke clears,

come back and pick up your life.

And how does it help you?

Well, if you're
not in the country

to authenticate the video,

by law, we can
proceed without you.

Are you allowed
to tell me to do this?

You'll need to
keep it between us.

Only a few weeks?

But we will need the
interior video, Sherwin.

The jury needs to see that
what Lieutenant Diaz did

that is not how this
country is supposed to work.

But it is.

Even if I do as you
say, you will lose.

Everyone will lose.

Maybe.

But I have to try.

Looks like
Diaz is hammering him.

Sherwin looks scared.

He's going to the back room,
where he keeps the footage.

He just gave him
the flash drive.

Hey, Charlotte, where's Henry?

I don't know.

He's not picking up
or answering his texts.

Did he go home?
He needs to see this.

You want me to go
over there and check?

No, just keep trying him.

So if he gave Diaz the files...

He had a backup server,
which he never deleted

because part of him wanted
someone to come knocking.

But he didn't tell
you about that part.

He just handed you the
flash drive for us to see it here.

Guess he was too
ashamed to say it out loud.

Will he say this in court?

That's what he said.

I'll confirm with him later.

This is good.

Um... maybe I shouldn't
be saying this, but

Henry was having kind of a
tough time when you were out.

About what?

He kind of went down
an Internet rabbit hole,

deep-diving into all of the
commentary about his past.

You all right? Roswell: Yeah.

Other than the
fact that I just spent

27 minutes in a liquor store,

trying to decide how
to fall off the wagon?

Yeah, great.

From reading comments
on the Internet?

If all those complaints against
Lindsley were public knowledge,

he would have been fired.

He might have been fired.

They're blaming
me for Andy's death.

And they're not wrong.

Alright, let's say it's true.

That you did it.

Now what you doing?

Riding your coat-tails.

No.

You're taking the hit for
me on Collars for Dollars.

And you're taking
plenty of hits,

and it's worse 'cause
I'm standing next to you.

You want to resign?

I can help you out
from behind the scenes,

but I'm baggage for you, pal.

I'm dragging you down.

You're not quitting.

Now, enough of the pity party.

We got some work to do.

Okay, thanks.

That was Larry. You
need to pack a bag.

You, Jazz, and AJ are
gonna go stay there, alright?

For how long?

Until the trial's over.

Y'all can't be around me.

Who is it?

It's Scotty.

I got here as soon as I heard.

They have any idea who did this?

No. Nothing yet.

I looked into that pull-over.

Cops never called it in.
They never ran your plates.

There's no record of the stop.

Well, that comes down to
whether you believe me or not.

I told my superiors I'm
not gonna file a report.

Will that end it?

It should.

Thank you.

You need more
of a presence here.

Let me make some calls.

Yeah.

I heard about what
happened at your house.

Are you and your family okay?

I'd say I appreciate
you asking, but

you know there's a direct
line right back to your client.

Come on. That
could've been anyone.

That's what you're
telling yourself?

My client doesn't know
we're even meeting.

I'm here to gauge
your thoughts on a plea.

You mean you want to
see if I'm scared now?

Leverage my family's fear to
get a better deal for your client?

He'll plead second-degree
manslaughter.

One-year sentence.

One year?

For shooting an unarmed,
innocent civilian in the back?

He panicked.

The rest of it isn't
what you think.

I don't have to tell you how
most of these cases end.

That's what you're banking on.

Go ahead and say whatever it
is you need to say, Mr. Wallace.

I'm not gonna waste my breath.

Well, whenever you're ready,

I'd be happy to have
that conversation.

Hey, y'all all right?

I had Anya take the kids.

They'll be upstate
with her parents.

Henry?

After your
Lombardi-esque tough-love

get-off-your-sorry-ass pep
talk you were working last night?

I'm not going anywhere.

We're gonna
indict Lieutenant Diaz

whether you testify
against him or not.

But we're offering you a chance

to come clean and
do the right thing.

First you're asking me
to flip on my partner...

That shot a man in the
back without provocation.

Now you're asking me to testify

against one of the most
respected men in my precinct.

Let me ask you something.

What did you think
when you got assigned

to ride with Edgar Lindsley?

I honestly didn't know
anything about him.

You didn't know
about his reputation?

What is this now?

Everybody knew who the dude was.

It was Lieutenant Diaz
who protected him for years,

swept all his crap
under the rug,

and then stuck you with him.

And when it finally
all went to hell,

left you holding the bag.

That's never
gonna sway him, Aaron.

He rode with
Lindsley for 18 months.

Never spoke up about him.

Never requested a
change of assignment.

Or transfer.

This whole thing's
a waste of time.

Cut the crap, Ms. Masry.

That's what we're gonna say
in our opening statement, Mike,

when we tie your client
to Lindsley and Diaz.

And the jury will believe it.

You know why? Because it's true.

You were complicit.

Every day you stepped into a
squad car with that sociopath.

And if it was up to me,

we wouldn't even
be offering this deal.

It's your last chance, Phil.

You walk out that door,
there'll be no mercy.

A new turn of events
in the Andy Josiah case.

NYPD Lieutenant Marco
Diaz of Staten Island

has been indicted for
accessory after the fact.

We take you live to Special
Prosecutor Aaron Wallace.

Good afternoon.

I'm here to announce
that we will be indicting

NYPD Lieutenant Marco
Diaz with hindering prosecution,

tampering with
physical evidence,

and obstruction of
governmental administration.

Now, I couldn't have
done this without my team.

Henry Roswell, a
brilliant legal mind

who understands
the flaws in our system

better than almost anyone else.

And Safiya Masry,

forever a champion of
voices that aren't heard.

And people question
them and question me.

They say we were novices,
that we were in over our heads.

But I think it's
pretty clear to see

that we have Andy
Josiah's family in our hearts,

and that's what we're fighting
for, every second of every day.

I'll take any questions now.

You think I'm biting off
more than I can chew?

I'm afraid you're gonna
awaken a sleeping giant.

They're not sleeping, Spencer.

So you're doubling down?

I'm not bringing a
knife to a gun fight.

I heard about your
daughter's boyfriend.

Yeah, everyone has.

He's a "thug" now, just like me.

I'm surprised you
never told me about it.

It was a family issue. I
wanted to keep it private.

Well, I made some calls.

Case against him
has been dropped.

Just like that.

I know exactly what you're
thinking, and you're right.

I had the same
power 10 years ago,

and I used it the wrong way.

When they showed me a
nightclub owner from my community

and pointed their finger, I
should have said, "Who is he?

What's his background?

Does he have a family?"

I had a responsibility,
and I didn't live up to it.

And I go to bed too many nights

thinking about that these days.

I wouldn't dare ask
your forgiveness,

but I want you to know I
will spend the rest of my life

trying to make up for it.

For you.

For everyone in our community.

Hey, Marcel.

Got you another Tank.

It's the new model.

I don't play with Tank anymore.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

For the other day.

It's what we had to do, right?

Yeah.

You all right?

Yeah.

It was a good day, all in all.

You're supposed to
be staying at Larry's.

Why aren't you there?

Jazz and AJ are staying put.

I'm gonna be here with you.

Marie.

Look, I left you, Aaron,
when you were in prison.

I lost faith in you, in us,

and I'm not gonna
abandon you again.

Not when things get tough.

It's you and me through
every case, every threat,

whatever the world
throws our way.

I'm gonna be by your
side, no matter what.

So... here.
