- Still no
word on the cause of death

of basketball
player Trent Murphy.

The player was at
a reception being-

- I've never
cared much for wine,

if I'm being honest,
sulfites, histamine headaches,

it's never been more than
an occupational hazard.

But it only takes a few
keystrokes to reveal

the biggest threats to
the production of wine.

Drought, bacteria, fungi,
and of course insects,

aphids can destroy
a whole vineyard.

In the 19th century,
an epidemic of them

nearly wiped out
every vine in Europe,

and once they're gone...

Hey, it's me.

They're gone.

Did you get the video?

Yeah, I'll have it queued up.

So how do
you protect your vines?

Water for the
droughts and chemicals

for the bacteria and fungi,

but once the aphids come,

you're better off
burning the whole thing

to the fucking ground.

No, I prefer a
scotch on the rocks.

- All right, Lacey,
you got us here.

Care to tell us what for?

- You're gonna drop the charges

you and your husband
filed against Daniel.

- How dare you?

After what he did to me?

Your brother, Miss
McCullough, raped me.

- Did he?

Let me show you something
before you decide.

- I don't need to decide, I
told you exactly what I want.

Harder, harder!

- For fucks sake, look at me,
this shit is on you, fix it!

- That's not even the
best part, keep watching.

- What were you thinking?

- I was thinking that
I need a good fuck.

- Nice try.

But that so called footage
won't even get past discovery

because I know damn well it
was not obtained legally.

How do we even know
it wasn't doctored

to fit your versions of events?

- Who said anything about
submitting it into evidence?

The court of public opinion

is a hell of a lot faster
than a court of law

and then by the time we're
done counter-suing for damages,

your claim won't even
be able to afford

a fucking AAU team.

- If my client agrees
to drop the charges

than that footage-

- Becomes what footage?

- You'll have an agreement
by end of business today.

- I'd say that makes us even.

- Not quite.

- Hey, Vincent, I need a date
for tomorrow for an event,

figured we'd get a suite
at the Ritz afterwards.

After tomorrow I won't
be free until next week.

Yeah.

You're right.

Next week.

- I saw the video,
I'm surprised,

but you know, public perception
is always against us,

but let's see what we can do.

No, I'll talk to her.

Yeah, she just walked in.

That was Sheriff Olsen,

you need to see the whole video,

she thinks you got a
strong against Miss Mills.

- I have somewhere to go, okay.

If you need to know
who I am, Google me.

- Listen, bitch, this
could only go one way.

- Bitch?

How dare you are?

Get your hands off of me.

- Sloan, where did
this footage come from?

- Fuck if I know, but at
least this gives you a shot.

I mean, with the footage
out there right now,

Garcia is a monster
to anyone who sees it.

- Which is why if there's
more to this video,

I need to see it.

- Lacey, this video
is the whole truth

and nothing but.

Speaking of which, they
need you there today

for the announcement.

- Miss Gamble?

- No comment.

- I just need a couple
of minutes, not even.

- Don't you have some
kids to perv out to?

- That's not even a...

Don't you even want to
hear what I have to say?

- No, now get away
from me before I file

a fucking restraining order.

- Okay, listen-

- Thank you.

- I have some information
about your new boss

that you might find interesting.

She's never gonna tell you
the whole story, you know?

About she and her
firm really move,

who she has in her
pocket and why.

You might get a little taste,

maybe you already have,

but the whole story, no,

as soon as she's done with you

she'll throw you out
like today's trash.

- And you know this how?

- I've seen it happen.

You think I got where I am today

by not knowing what's
fact and what's bullshit?

- Then what do you need me for?

- Well, you and I are
uniquely positioned

for mutual benefit.

You with McCullough
and Associates,

and me with all
my other sources.

- Word on the vine
is that your sources

have begun to dry up.

- Just hear me out, please.

- Meet me back here
at eight tonight.

- You won't regret it.

- We'll see.

- Before you say anything,

guess who just acquired
the Fedorov brothers?

- The Fedorov brothers?

- The $50,000,000
retainer Fedorov.

- Nice.

- Dance with me.

Come on.

Not even for 50 mil?

- Not now.

- Not even for 50 mil, we
used to do this all the time.

- College was a different time.

- Well, let's celebrate.

- We are going to
represent the sheriff

in the LaDonna Mills case and
I wanna go over my strategy.

It appears that she
was an aggressor.

I've seen the entire video.

- I don't like the
optics of this one Lace.

- Not all law
enforcement are bad.

- And not all Black women

should be mistreated
and mishandled.

- You wanna talk to me
about the mistreatment

of Black women?

You?

- Lace, I didn't mistreat you.

You made a decision.

You got everything you
wanted, the way you wanted it.

The house, the husband,
the kid, the career.

You like to act like
you don't need anyone,

like you don't need
me until you do.

- If you don't wanna
help with the Mills case

than that's fine,

but it's my firm
and my decision.

- Oh, and here I thought
that we were partners.

- Employer, employee,
that's the dynamic.

Where are you going?

- As your employee,

I am going to
celebrate my big win.

- We need to discuss this-

- What is there
to discuss, boss?

- Enter.

- Fantastic sermon
as always, pastor.

- Well, when it's
the word of the Lord

how can you expect
anything less?

- Pastor,
I have some news.

- What is it now?

Is this about my son?

- No sir, we lost
a bid for the land

to the Fedorov brothers.

- I thought we had
this in the bag.

- The mayor's office said
there'd be no competition.

- But?

- But we didn't realize
who was representing

the Fedorov brothers, it's
McCullough and Associates.

- So why wouldn't you...

Nevermind.

I'll handle this,
thank you, Deacon.

- Thank you, sir.

- God!

- Well, well,, what's up, bro?

- I see you brought back up.

Hello, JR.

- Good to see you, Othello.

- Likewise.

- I figured it was a
celebration, right?

So what's the occasion?

- Guess.

- Damn man, I should've
got two rounds.

- Three.

- Seems to be more
than a celebration.

- What did she do now, man?

- What didn't she do?

- Which she are we referring to?

- Take a wild guess.

I told him, you need to get
out from under her shadow.

- Now do you remember
the advice I gave you

when you told me you
were moving to LA?

- Yes JR, I do.

Never take a job for a woman,

never leave a job for a woman.

- Now you've done one,

don't make the mistake
of doing the other.

- Well, she made
it crystal clear

what ground what stand on,

and it sure as hell
wasn't a common one.

- So you leave for the
betterment of your career,

not 'cause she got you
steeping in your feelings.

- I am not steeping, JR.

Whatever.

- Look man, I know
you the big brother,

but I was gonna call
you about this anyway.

Walden and Reeves is
looking for a new partner,

hear me out, you got the
experience and the contacts.

You can do for them
what you did for her

except now you have
some fucking equity,

and you'll be the first
Black male partner

the firm's ever had.

- I don't know, Hannibal.

- What is there
not to know, man?

When are you gonna get out
from under Lacey's shadow?

She chose Mark, she didn't
choose you, remember?

Look man, there's not a
firm in town that wouldn't

meet with you if they
knew you were looking,

this is Walden and Reeves, man,

at least listen to
what they gotta say.

I've been trying to get this one

to hang up the
gavel and come to.

This is your time, O.

Didn't you just land
the Fedorov brothers,

and a deal with Chen
World properties?

- Yes.

- Isn't that $100,000,000
in billable hours?

- Yes.

- That's all you, bro.

You gotta stop being her
high price tool, you hear me?

You hear me?

- Yes.

- Now let's drink to that.

- To that.

- You the little brother, huh?

Just saying.

- Not funny, JR.

- I said Jack and Coke, mom.

- How many has he had?

- Enough that his brother's
gonna have to drive

his Black ass home.

So what's new at the firm?

- Same old.

I found an old brief
of Tony's case,

but I'm not too sure
where that stands.

Lacey's been working
on the appeal

but you know she likes to
keep that close to her wrist.

Have you spoke to Tony recently?

- No, kiddo.

Not since they lost
that last appeal.

That shit was so
intense, I was waiting

for things to cool off.

- Yeah, things do
feel a little intense.

- What do you mean?

- I don't know,
it just seems like

everybody's mind
is somewhere else.

Britney's been acting weird,

Chelsea's there, but she's not,

even Lacey's a little more
high strung than usual.

Not to mention I heard
her and O going at it

earlier today.

Seems like the only ones
not tripping are the twins.

- Look here, Benjamin,

you just do what you gotta
do, you keep grinding.

And mind your damn business.

- Yes ma'am.

Shoot, I got
midterms, see you Mom.

- All right, baby.

- No.

We haven't done it like
that in a long time.

- It's been a day.

- Mine was too.

Ever since your father
canceled our contract.

- What contract?

- He hired my firm to design
a new children's center

down by the Staples center,

but he canceled the
contract at the last minute.

Said it was the Russians' fault.

2016 all over again.

That's the Rev for you.

- So that's why he's calling?

- Always something, baby.

- Settle?

This is an open and shut case,

you saw the video.

- Deputy Garcia's jacket.

You might've wanted to mention

the charges filed against him.

Charges for misconduct,
excessive force.

- Any deputy doing the work
is gonna ruffle some feathers,

besides all the
footage is out now.

LaDonna Mills slapped him,
he was defending himself.

- By putting a woman half
his size in a choke hold

and throwing her against a car?

Listen to me, no matter what

public perception is not
going to be on our side,

and his past complaints
are going to hit the news

before you even get to court.

Your deputy is risking
his livelihood,

his pension, and possibly three
to five years of his life.

Look, I know the
union won't like it,

but his best option
is to settle.

- This is bullshit
and you know it.

Whenever we settle
we look guilty.

- Think of it as a
way to restore peace.

You want order, peace
is where it starts.

- You think a settlement's
gonna do that, huh?

Heal the community?

- No, but anything can
happen in the courtroom.

The longer this drags out the
worse your department looks.

And sure, she may be
brought up on charges

for resisting arrest,
assaulting an officer,

maybe public intox, but they'll
all be her first offense.

She'll probably just plead
out to community service,

then what?

- Fine.

- You and I both know, Sheriff,

this only goes one way.

Your only option is to trust me.

LaDonna, it's Lacey,
I did my part,

now it's time for
you to do yours.

- Praise the Lord,
Reverend McCullough.

- Daddy.

- Lacey.

- When were you going to tell me

that you hired Mark's firm

to design the new
children's center?

- I didn't know I needed
to, he's a grown man.

- A heads up would've been nice.

- Would it
have made a difference?

- That's not the point, why
go to Mark without telling me?

- I didn't tell him
to keep it a secret.

- We could've made it work
if I would've just known

now I have one of the
biggest land developers

on retainer.

- Congratulations, now I
gotta find a new location

for the children's center.

Tony was the one that
found that location.

- All the more reason why
you should've told me.

- Lacey, now I know you
a big time LA lawyer,

but I'm still your father.

How's Daniel?

- Better now.

He dodged a bullet
with Elena Marzili.

- Yeah, it's because of you.

You worked your magic for him.

- He's still family.

- Yes, he is.

But he needs a job, but
one thing at a time.

- The property downtown
wasn't the only slot of land

in Los Angeles, you'll
find a better location.

- We'll see.

- I gotta go,
I have another call.

- Lacey, sweetheart, Sunday
dinner, will I see you?

I haven't seen my
granddaughter in a long time.

- Maybe.

We'll see.

- Oh my god.

I can't believe I'm
actually meeting you.

Your art is genius.

- I wouldn't say
genius, but thank you.

- I follow you on The Grapevine,

I'm a huge fan of yours.

- You're sweet, thank you.

- So what inspired you
to create such meaningful

pieces of art?

- What inspires me?

You, my fans, life.

I put all my struggles and
successes into my work.

And of course, my
husband inspires me.

- This is your husband?

- For eight years now.

Behind every great woman is
a man willing to be there.

You two know each other?

- Remember my client that
was killed by her husband.

- You're with McCullough
and Associates.

Well look, since you're
one of my biggest fans,

you're redeemed
from practicing law.

I'm sorry, I didn't
get your name.

- Britney.

- Excuse me.

- I can explain.

- Fuck you!

- Peter, take it easy,

you're gonna give
yourself a heart attack.

- Fuck that, we didn't
hire Lacey McCullough

so the department could settle.

She is there for optics only.

- It still looks
like excessive force.

And Garcia's complaints
will come out,

just a matter of when.

- Well, McCullough's
right about that.

A trial could go either way.

- So we just pay?

We'll look like a bunch of
idiots, the whole department.

- But Garcia stays
on, keeps his pension,

and admits no wrongdoing.

- Well, with Garcia's record,

it's a good deal.

A settlement could
protect him and the union.

- That is not the point.

No one turns their back
on one of my union members

and walks away, not even
the Lacey McCullough.

Now if she doesn't fall in line,

then we put her in her place.

- What are you thinking?

- McCullough's got
friends, but so do we.

Now there's a threat
out there somewhere

and you're gonna find it.

- Why did you call me here?

- Because I wanted
to talk to you.

- And this couldn't
have been a phone call?

- No.

- I'm tired of the
fucking games, Lacey.

I've done enough for
you, more than enough.

For the last time, what the
hell do you want with me?

- You don't want to
leave my protection now.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Recognize this man?

Because he knows you well
enough to be following you.

- I don't know what
you're talking about.

- Oh, I think you know.

- I really don't.

- He would've had
you killed already

if he didn't think that you
were leading him to something.

Tell me about Samantha.

- Who?

- Do you think that
you would be here

if I didn't know
who you really were?

- Those files are
supposed to be sealed.

- They are, for some.

I just wanna know why.

- He worked for my dad.

- Old news, next.

- I'm the reason he went
away for embezzlement.

- I figured that
out on my own, next.

- He thinks I may have
had something to do

with his daughter being killed.

- There it is.

Did you have something to do it?

- I put him away
for five plus years,

killing his daughter's
a hat on a hat.

- That's not a no.

- Fucking no, I didn't
have anything to do

with Samantha dying.

- I'm not sure if
he believes that.

Either way, I can take
care of Sousa for you.

- In exchange for a favor.

- You wanted to play with
the big boys, here we are.

I don't wanna see you harmed,

but you're gonna do
what I want you to do.

- And what's that?

- Reach out to your father.

- We aren't exactly
on good terms.

- I'm sure he'll take your call.

You want Sousa off your
back, call your father

and set up a meeting,
sooner than later.

- And then I'll be
rid of you, right?

- If that's what you want.

- Dad, it's Chelsea, ladybug,

look, I know it's been a while,

call me back on
this number, please.

Vine growers can
prepare for most hazards

when they know they're coming.

Fire, floods, and
frost, and of course,

those small sap-sucking aphids.

- This was an
unfortunate incident

for all parties concerned,

and while we feel the
video evidence shows

that Deputy Garcia
conducted a proper arrest,

I'm not convinced
that Deputy Garcia

would receive a fair trial or
hearing in this environment,

to that end we've offered
LaDonna Mills a settlement.

- It's the
insects we don't expect

that damage our vines the most.

Like the glassy-winged
sharpshooter,

they spread an incurable
disease that kills the vine.

It's the element of surprise.

- This ought to
take the sting out.

How's Garcia doing?

- Not bad, time off
will do him some good.

- So what do you got?

- Captain Warren Sloan,
LAPD, 20 plus years

with central bureau, real
chummy with Lacey McCullough.

If you look at her
recent criminal cases,

she always had
some kind of edge.

- Yeah, that edge has landed
her grand standing ass

in my courtroom more times
than I care to count.

- Sounds like you've
got an ax to grind.

- We all have an
ax to grind, Bobbi,

that's why we're sitting here.

Mine's is a bit shaper
and ready to be utilized.

- So Sloan's her guy?

- Gotta be.

Remember Elena Marzilli
charged her brother with rape

then the mysteriously
dropped the charges.

That doesn't happen without
help from the inside.

- Well, McCullough has
a cadre of insiders,

Sloan is just one of many.

They get all kinds
of favors in return,

but no one can prove it.

- Yeah, but will
Sloan give her up?

- He's crooked as a loaded
dice, but he's smart.

jacket's clean, but
he'll give up something.

- I think he will,

if he wants to keep
his pension, that is.

- She's more than
just a good lawyer,

she learned the game on a
level that most people don't.

Here's a thought,
there's an easier way

to deal with this situation.

- We've got to be careful.

- No, my friend, she
needs to be careful of us.

She fucked with the
wrong police force.

- Well, let's welcome
Peter's balls back.

- To the badge.

- To the badge.

- Fuck that badge, to justice.

- Protecting
vines and grapes from rot

or bad weather is overrated,

that's why I drink whiskey,

preventing the complete
destruction of the vines

from unseen forces, well,
that's not my problem.
