But what's Camilla's motive?

The same as all the others.
G... Money and power.

But who's to say
Lydell isn't lying?

Della, the man had
a gun to my chest.

It wasn't the other way
around. He's not lying.

It was his son, his cargo
ships, his trying to stop you...

You're in denial.

You're in...

- Oh, Della, my wife, Clara.
- How do you do?

Wha... Can we bring
you something?

A smoke would be nice.

Here.

What Clara snatched
from inside the house.

Maybe this will make
you believe Lydell.

Melville Phipps.

His wife, Constance,
she's our junkie.

Constance Barbour? The pianist?

Went down just like Ozzie
said. Clara and I saw it all.

More than I needed to.

But Camilla's...

Fuck!

Who's Camilla?

She's who Phipps works
for. He's her attorney.

She ordered Phipps to
arrange the murder.

So, how do you want
to play this with her?

You can't play this with
her. She's too smart.

She's... She's not
gonna be intimidated.

I think we should take
everything we have

- and go straight to Burger.
- I agree.

- We might need another way.
- Della, there isn't another way.

Durkin is ruling
tomorrow morning.

There's a reason Burger
won't deal with us.

And that is?

I can't say.

You can't just tell
us the one person

who could possibly
save this trial won't

and then not explain why.

Burger's being blackmailed,
and now we all know who by.

What's she got on him?

Photos.

Of? Come on.

Okay, your word that this
never leaves this room.

You've got it.

Photos of him...

No, you're gonna
judge him. I'm not...

With another man.

Whoa.

Durkin is ruling in eight hours.

What the fuck are we
supposed to do now?

We need more time.

I still feel that
some of the language

in the brief could
be a little stronger,

but it'll get the job done.

Have you decided
who you're putting

- on the Broderick case?
- Not yet.

It'll be a good follow-up
once this is done.

I think I've more
than earned it.

Although, I did promise
Mary and the kids

a couple days at the beach.

- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.

How'd you find
out about the gun?

Had one of our snoops
break into Mason's office.

I hate to admit it, but
you were right about Mason.

He is shrewd, boy.

Well, clearly not
as shrewd as you.

That's why we're
gonna win this thing.

And I'm glad about that.

But it was a risky
move on your part.

You could have
jeopardized this office.

Yeah, but I didn't.

It's the job, isn't it?

That, uh, that book
you were reading,

- The... The Good Earth.
- Mm.

Was it a... a happy ending?

You'll find out in my
chambers in half an hour.

- Of course.
- Yes.

Understood.

- Can I speak off the record?
- I'm not a fan

of ex parte
communications, Mr. Mason.

I know, I know... I know that.
I... I also know you've put up

with a lot of crap
during this trial,

and I just wanted to say
how grateful I am to you

- for being so fair.
- Well, if you didn't know...

being fair is a small
detail of a judge's oath.

I think you see the benefit
of allowing this trial

to continue for these boys
with competent counsel.

Well, be a bit
difficult to include you

in that category currently,
wouldn't you agree?

I still insist that
I'm their best option,

because no public defender

will fight as hard
for them as I have.

However, I also believe
that I deserve some other

kind of punishment that
the court sees fit.

Here.

This one, he needs
a little polish.

- Hello?
- Phippsy,

- where have you been? I looked everywhere this m...
- Camilla. Camilla, I'm sorry,

- I was up half the night.
- You left out

several points on
the Ulrich deal

- which we need to discuss.
- I don't have the Ulrich file

in front of me.

I can ask them that.

And where's the copy
of the covenants?

Yeah... Yeah, let me
get a pad and pen.

Go ahead.

Shit.

And I won't blame
you if you run.

That's what a punk does.

Never took you for one.

We both know the
street's got rules.

- I broke them. Got what's mine.
- Yeah.

Game ain't never gonna be fair.

Not for us, down here.

Is what it is.

You're right.

You're right.

That it, then?

No, no, no. I got one
little piece of business.

- Why would I help you?

You'd be helping yourself.

Well, I was prepared
to declare a mistrial,

but I have reconsidered.

The trial will continue.

The gun will be
admitted with no mention

- as to how it was obtained.
- Your Honor,

in lieu of mentioning the gun
was locked in Mr. Mason's safe,

I'd like to provide a
location for the jury

that connects the gun
to the defendants.

That's not in the brief.

Has she completely taken
over the practice now, Mason?

Why, does that scare you?

Enough.

Mr. Milligan's request
seems reasonable.

Where did the gun
come from, Mr. Mason?

- The Hooverville.
- Any more specifics?

No, that's specific enough.

Once the trial is concluded,

Mr. Mason will plead
guilty to Penal Code 135,

concealing evidence,

and be sentenced to four
months in county jail.

Your Honor, that charge
seems a little excessive.

I think it's fair and
fit, don't you, Mr. Mason?

I do.

The state will be granted

two additional witnesses.

Let's keep this thing
short and sweet.

Mr. Mason, it should go
without saying it's likely

in your best interest
to avoid cross-examining

either of these witnesses, huh?

Does this plan suit
the prosecution?

It does, Your Honor.

Can you line up witnesses

- for the top of the week?
- I believe so.

Fine. We're back in session.

Monday morning, 9:00 a.m.

Perry.

- What you just did in there...
- Yeah.

- It was...
- Don't. It's okay.

It...

It buys us some time
to get those pictures.

Come on.

Let's get her into a bath.

- I'm sorry.
- Oh.

- It's all right.
- Phippsy.

Did you hear something?

Oh, Phippsy.

What are you doing?

We thought you might be
busy, so we let ourselves in.

I have a gun.

Yeah, so do I. Look,
mine's right here.

How far away is yours?

- Well?
- We know everything.

And we'd like the
photographs and the negatives

- that you have on Burger.
- Excuse me?

We know Camilla is
blackmailing him.

And we have Ozzie Jackson,

who's agreed to
testify against you.

All it took for Ozzie to agree

was the same persuasive
tactics you used on him.

You're amateurs.

It will never stick.

- Phippsy...

- you're grasping.
- Melville!

Your wife doesn't
sound too good.

Seems like she might
need you around.

You shut your mouth!

Darling, please!

Come on.

I'm not a murderer.

I was just doing my job, like
I've always done for her.

You've clearly been nothing but
a loyal advocate to Camilla.

But where's that
loyalty got you, Phipps?

It got you here, fully exposed,

about to be indicted, and
no one here to protect you.

Or Constance.

Fuck!

Work with us.

What does that mean?

How are you both holding up?

Okay. Anxious.

Monday will probably be
our last day in court.

So, we just wanted
to fill you in

on the proceedings.

The gun will be admitted,
but they don't know anything

about Twist renting it to
you. That won't come up.

Which means they
can't directly connect

the gun to you.

This is a good thing.

Can I ask you something?
About if we lose...

- We can appeal.
- No,

not about that. Just...

Do you know how to write a will?

Uh, yes. We... Well, We... Yes,
we have experience with that.

Can you do one for me?

Of course.

I just had wishes for Maria.

I want one, too.

Just saying you make sure

our bodies are brought back to
our family after we're hung.

That way they have
something to visit

instead of some mass grave.

We can write up
whatever you want.

Thank you.

- Good morning.
- You got a minute?

Not really, no.

You kept your word.

You kept out of sight
during my trial.

You like our neighborhood?

Could be better.

Well, I'm looking
to change that.

I want to build a...
A park, a public pool.

- Give us our own utopia.
- Why are you telling me this?

Because to do any of that,
I need a man of your skills.

You need a man with
my set of skills

to do what?

These are the home addresses

of all the city councilmen

that stand in our way.

Dig up whatever you can.
Help persuade them crackers.

- ♪ (PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING) ♪
- PERKINS: Get zoning permits.

Do good for our people.

Officer Champlin, what
department do you work in?

In the evidence locker.

Would you please
read for the jury

the location in which
this gun was found?

On the corner of 85th
and Lou Dillion Street.

85th and Lou Dillion.
And what's there?

A Hooverville.

The same Hooverville in which
the Gallardo brothers resided.

Mr. Mason?

No, uh, no... no
questions, Your Honor.

How many tests did
your laboratory conduct

- on the gun, Mr. Farkas?
- We did a series

of 20 firings of the gun in
a controlled environment.

What did each of
these tests reveal?

The ballistics from
every single bullet fired

was an exact match
for the bullet

that killed Brooks McCutcheon.

Thank you.

Brooks McCutcheon
didn't murder himself.

The defense made a desperate
and unsavory attempt

to paint him as a
villain, but regardless,

no matter what opinions you
may have formed about him,

we are here right now
because he was a victim.

Rafael and Mateo Gallardo
murdered Brooks McCutcheon

in cold blood.

Two Mexicans, resentful
of the more fortunate.

So bitter that they ripped the
life from Brooks McCutcheon

and then discarded it

with as much indifference
as his wallet.

Guests in our country,
they were too lazy

to work their way
out of hardship.

A hardship that
we've all endured

during these trying times,
because law-abiding Americans,

we know something...

that the Gallardos never will.

America is a great country,

and it takes care of those who
are not afraid to work hard.

Now, there are enough
substantiated facts to prove

that the Gallardos are
guilty. Eyewitness testimony,

the evidence of a murder
weapon, and where it was found.

It is your duty to make
an example of those

who take the easy, hateful,
and destructive way out.

Return the verdict of guilty.

Thank you.

Mr. Mason, you may proceed

with your closing argument.

A... A very well-established
attorney here in Los Angeles

once said to me...

"There's no such
thing as justice.

There's only the
illusion of justice."

Now, this case has been
laid out before you.

You have all the information
you need to reach a verdict.

But if... if we're
gonna be truthful,

honest w... with each
other for just a moment,

you, l... ladies and gentlemen,
had predetermined views

when you swore an
oath to be impartial,

and that's not an indictment.
That's merely a... a fact.

Because every instant
of our life, our wealth,

our poverty, our race,
our... our... our passions

predetermine how people
perceive us and our actions.

Now, if that is true...

is real justice possible,
or is it just an illusion?

All I ask is that
you bear that in mind

in reaching a decision.

For the reception,

I want the citrus supreme
and the broiled filet.

I want an assortment
of citrus this time,

not just the grapefruit.

I didn't think you
were coming today.

Just getting the new
contracts to review at home.

Oh.

Did you reach our friend
at the federal office?

All files related

to the Brooks
McCutcheon investigation

have been taken care of.

And the chatty employee?

Same as the files.

How's Constance? Has
Dr. Evans been helpful?

I don't know that his treatment
has been helping much yet...

Don't get dismissive so soon.

Dr. Evans may be unconventional,
but that's why he's effective.

It's not as if anything else
you've tried with Constance

has worked, has it now?

- No.
- You should have

seen this coming.

She always gets like
this before a concert.

It's selfish in a way,

considering how much
goes into these evenings.

It was the only
bright spot for me

with everything else
that's going on.

Well, hopefully
we can salvage it.

They're ready to fit
the dress on you.

Thank you, Louise. In
the Blue Room, yes?

- Yes, of course.
- Do you remember the name

of those orchids Ambassador
Debuchi brought me?

- Tiger's Mouth.
- Of course.

I think I'll order
some for the recital.

Mr. Phipps called six
times in the last hour.

These are all
pictures of Burger?

No.

Who doesn't she
have pictures of?

That's everything
Camilla had on you.

We made sure of it.

I thought I made
it clear, Della,

I did not want your
involvement in this.

I know, and I'm sorry.

But... you're free.

"Free."

Oh, you know better than that.

So now you know.

- I don't care.
- I do.

The pictures and the negatives
are yours no matter what.

We also have proof

that Camilla's behind
Brooks's murder.

A direct line

- from her to the brothers.
- Mm.

And with the federal
investigation,

which has yet to even
scratch the surface

of the real conspiracy.

This is all yours to open
up whatever investig...

I'm... grateful for
what you did for me.

But I'm still the
DA of this city.

A city that has been
reminded of this crime

on the radio, in the
papers, every day.

Someone has to pay for it.

Ham, we are handing
you this on a platter.

You could open up a massive
criminal investigation.

At the center of which
would be the woman

who tried to own
you with blackmail.

All right.

Only one of them
pulled the trigger...

so if he confesses...

I'll drop the
charges on the other.

Fifteen years for the
one who pleads guilty.

- Life.
- Thirty.

But no parole. That's
the best I can do.

- Twenty.
- Della. Okay, all right.

We'll talk to the brothers.

Thank you.

- Hello, Ms. Street, Mr. Mason.
- Hello.

It's nice to see
you all together.

Uh... We know you're in
the middle of your visit...

But we need to talk to you now.
The DA has come back with a...

- much better deal.
- How much better?

He's agreed to drop the
charges for one of you.

- One of us?
- Yeah.

And the other one?

Plead guilty with
a 30-year sentence.

Parole?

No.

- You're gonna get out of here.
- No.

It should be you. You have
Sofía, you have Maria.

- I'll still have them.
- Sí.

It's time to end this.

- Verdict come in yet?
- No.

Okay. Why did you
want to see me?

I'm taking you off
the Gallardo case.

You're not needed anymore.

The jury is a...

Is about to deliver a
verdict in our favor.

Verdict is irrelevant now.
I made a deal with Mason.

I'm sorry, you made a deal?

Mateo Gallardo is
pleading guilty

with an agreed-upon sentence.
Rafael Gallardo is going free.

- Is this some sort of joke?
- Hardly.

Why would you go behind my back?

I'm the DA.

And I won the fucking case.

Goodbye, Tommy.

This is bullshit.

It has been brought
to my attention

that the defense and prosecution
have reached an agreement.

Mateo Gallardo,

will you please stand
and address the court?

Mateo Gallardo,
you've previously pled

not guilty to the murder
of Brooks McCutcheon

in the first degree. How
do you wish to plead now?

Guilty, Your Honor.

Your Honor, my client

would like to give a brief
statement, if that's possible.

Go ahead.

Today I stand before you
to let it be known...

that I alone shot and
killed Brooks McCutcheon,

and I alone shall pay the price.

You'll get it, Bake.

- We're not out of this.
- Brooks...

We can have the Governor,

invite them out.
Do a whole tour.

Make it first class,

have the owners see
it all for themselves.

- Sure.
- Yeah, might turn the trick.

- We'll talk about it.

Hey. Hey. We don't
have to do this.

I got it.

Bake.

Bake!

I know there's no excuse

for killing a man.

Do I wish things had
been different for me?

Of course.

More food to eat. A real home.

But none of those
things can compare

to the feeling one gets

from the love and
loyalty of family.

We may have come from
different worlds...

but I think it's the one
thing that we can both agree

is the most important in life.

I am truly sorry for
robbing that from you.

If you will remain standing.

Will the other
defendant please rise?

Mateo Gallardo,

you are hereby sentenced to
30 years in state prison.

Pursuant to Penal Code 1202...

you will be taken to the warden

of the state prison
at San Quentin.

Rafael Gallardo, you
are hereby dismissed

- from this proceeding...
- It's okay.

- It's all right. It's okay.
- And immediately discharged

from custody.

This court is now adjourned.

Mateo...

My office

is very satisfied
with the outcome.

We set out to ensure
that justice was served.

Today, it has been.

It is my great hope that
Mateo Gallardo's conviction

will bring the McCutcheon
family some much-needed solace.

I don't think an
internal investigation

into the planting of Rafael
Gallardo's fingerprint

in evidence is out
of the question.

Are you upset about losing?

I honestly don't
see it as a loss.

We did what we had to do. And
we did it as best we could.

But none of this would
have been possible

without the real
star of this trial,

- which was Ms. Della Street.
- Ms. Street,

how did it feel to expose
Brooks as a woman strangler?

It's not a pleasant truth,

but I'm glad we were able
to speak up for Ms. Lawson

and the other women
he mistreated.

Did you find it difficult
to be taken seriously

- with Councilman Taylor?
- Do you find it difficult

to be taken seriously
as a reporter?

Miss Street, my sources tell me

you've been seen out on the
town with a special someone.

Oh.

You've been on the arm

of the district attorney
on more than one occasion.

We're old friends.

Well, can you tell the readers,

is there anyone who's more than
an "old friend" in your life?

Currently? No.

But future husbands are
a topic for another day.

Well, Mr. Mason, that completes
our business together.

- Yes. Paul, I will be back.
- I don't need you to be.

Look, this case, Perry,
I sacrificed too much.

With Clara, with Lucius,
and none of it was for them.

I think It's time I start
taking care of my own.

Yes.

Now, you watch out. She's
better at that than you.

I finished up those contracts

for the new Sunny
Markets properties.

You just have to sign
them before you go.

♪ We made a lot of
money Out of Sunny ♪

You know what you said in court
about justice being an illusion,

did you mean that?

What I asked was if real
justice was possible.

Perry, look at
what we had to do.

We... We hid a murder weapon,

we pre-arranged a witness,
a cop, to lie on the stand.

Well, that was more like

- half-truths, but go on.
- Mm.

And stopped a blackmail
with another blackmail.

Does any of that add
up to real justice?

It... It's like Sunny's melons.

- Excuse me?
- Well, we both know

he pumps his melons
full of water.

And no one knows what he's
doing in the back room,

but they still get to walk
out with a juicy melon.

It's not justice
that's an illusion,

- it's the system.
- Okay, so...

what are we supposed
to do with that?

We... We fight.

- Fight?
- Mm-hmm.

- What?
- Nothing.

Is there any place you
want to go tonight,

your last night?

My treat.

Right here is just fine.

I'm headed to jail today.

It has to do with the gun.

Turns out the
prosecutor had, uh...

Well, had someone
break in to my office.

I know.

Wh... What was that thing
you said about Los Angeles?

No one tells you what was...

Only what can be.

Maybe, eventually, you
could see me that way.

Anyway.

Hey.

When did you say
you're getting out?

Four months.

So, it'll be autumn then?

I suppose.

They say Yosemite's
lovely that time of year.

Oh. What a lovely surprise.

I just have a few more laps

if you don't mind
waiting a moment.

I won't take up
much of your time.

Could you hand me a towel, dear?

There's power in the truth.

Isn't that what you said to me?

And what is the "truth"

you came all the
way here to share?

I know who you really are.

Your impression of
me is too simple,

- I can assure you.
- Brooks McCutcheon.

It was you, Camilla.

Della...

the way Brooks abused
those women was atrocious.

And what you did in court,

exposing him for all
the world to see,

that was very important.
I'm proud of you...

I acted on behalf of my clients.

Don't pretend you acted
for the greater good.

Brooks was malignant.

He was a spoiled boy

who ravaged
everything he touched.

He had to be taken care of.

And the truth about him
had to come to light.

You simply finished
what I started.

I can't believe I
ever admired you.

I'm nothing like you.

Oh, get off your
goddamn high horse.

You know, you can say
the word "husband"

to the press all day long,

but that is not
going to protect you.

You, more than anyone,
should understand

the hard choices we have to make

and the dangers that
ripple out from them.

They ripple and ripple
until it catches up with you

and you're drowning.

Camilla Nygaard, Bureau
of Investigation.

We'll meet again, I'm sure.

But until then,
good luck to you.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.
If you'd like to step inside,

I'd be happy to answer
any of your questions.

Have you eaten?

Thinkin' about your skills?

No.

You're gonna need
something to trade on.

Yeah, you keep saying.

What was yours, again,
when you were locked up?

Sewing.

- Sewing?
- Yeah, my mother taught me.

You can laugh, but in
the joint, it's gold.

- Got me a lot of goodwill.
- Yeah, I think, uh,

being an attorney
will be an asset.

No, no, no. No.

If you go blabbing about
being a lawyer in there,

you're gonna have
every hard-luck case

knocking on your cell
bars, begging you for help.

Huh? That's what got you here.

You got me here, Pete.

Yeah, fair enough.

Look, I'll make sure I
start your bike once a week.

I tell you I pissed

in Milligan's beloved
cognac bottle?

One way of handing
in your notice.

À la victoire, asshole.

I better go.

Yeah.

Hey, take these.

Actually, you got any Beech-Nut?

So long.

Yeah, I'll see ya around...

Fuck-o.

Give him your bag,
empty your pockets

in the tray, take
off your watch.
