- [phone ringing]

- WOMAN: Hi, Mami.

Sí, I've studied.

If I'm not ready
for this interview now,

I don't think I ever will be.

I'm still crazy nervous.
I mean,

this scholarship...
It could change everything.

I know. I know.
Yo se.

I miss youso bad.

Por favor. Yes.

I need all the prayers
I can get. Okay.

I got to lock up. I'll call you
tomorrow after work?

- Okay.
- Bye, Mami.

Run!

[gunshot]

[gasps]

[siren approaching]

It's the police.

- We can't afford witnesses.
- We'll get her later.

Let's go.

[high-pitched tone,
gunfire, indistinct shouting]

MAN:
Let's go!

[distant barking]

Morning, Robin.

Aunt Vi, what you doing up?

Heard you pacing upstairs.

Not having a reason
to get up in the morning

can keep you up at night.

Thought you could
use some tea.

How do you always know
what I need?

'Cause I know you.
You having second thoughts?

No.

Time to pass that torch.

I'm done with that job.
Let somebody else

run that charity for a while.

Well, if you want
to go back to bed,

I can take Delilah shopping,

spare you her
teenage angst.

Thanks, but I think

this particular errand
is my cross to bear.

[chuckles softly]

[indistinct chatter]

[police radio chatter]

[distant siren wails]

Detective Dante.
I didn't know you were back.

- Just last week.
- You ask me,

they should have given you
a medal, not a suspension.

Yeah, well, they don't
give medals for assault.

Who's our friend here?

Unknown. No wallet,
phone, ID.

We're guessing
it was a robbery.

DANTE:
Fresh tracks.

At least he was high
before they shot him, right?

You said "they."

Uh, yeah, according to the
witness, there was two of them.

Witness? Works at the diner.
Saw both doers.

Said they tried to kill her.

WOMAN:
That's them.

They know
where I work,

who I am.

Is there somewhere
you can go for a while?

Somewhere out of town?

Uh, relatives maybe?

No, it was just my mom and me.

She was deported
last year.

We can put you in protective
custody until we find them.

What if you don't find them?
I have a job,

school...
What about my life?

WOMAN:
Detective Dante,

can I see you a sec?

Jewel, I'm gonna find them,

I promise.

A security cam down the alley
got the whole thing.

Take a look.

Play it again.

WOMAN:
She's our shooter.

Oh, excuse me. D, you almost
ran into that guy.

I saw him.

What's with the attitude?

- [phone chimes]
- [scoffs] My attitude?

What's up with you, Mom?
Isn't this super weird

for you, going shopping
for my dress for Dad's wedding?

- It's not on my bucket list.
- And out of nowhere,

you quit your job last month
and won't talk about it?

You love traveling
all over the world, being

the big shot at your charity.

Who decides to stop being
champion of the downtrodden

so they can just stay home?

It's complicated.

[gasps]
I love that dress.

You want to wear that
to your father's wedding?

He would have
a coronary.

No, I know,
but it's perfect

for the school dance
this weekend.

I don't exactly like
what that dress is saying.

"Buy me."
It's saying "Buy me."

Yeah, it's saying "buy me," just
not in the way you're thinking.

Can't we find something
with a little more fabric?

Delilah got tall.

[chuckles]

How is she?

She thinks I'm an idiot,
thanks for asking.

So the Company must be
pretty desperate

if they sent
your skinny ass up here.

Oh, well, they figured
you'd kill anybody else.

I heard about Venezuela.

About Ed and
Michelle. I'm sorry.

Not just them.

Half the village, too.

Families, kids.

And for what?

Because a couple of congressmen
changed their minds?

Well, they know
you're angry,

and I'm here to
broker the peace.

[scoffs] The CIA
wants you back, Robin.

You're the best they had.

They're gonna offer
you anything you want.

More autonomy, your
own hand-picked team.

More time with
your daughter.

Less time with
your daughter?

[scoffs]

You can't buy back trust.

Well, what are
you gonna do now?

Get a job at Starbucks.

Get the free coffee.
Join the PTA.

Well, that's 'cause you're
such a people person, right?

Or you could
come work for me.

Babysitting billionaires

and oil companies?

Private security is
just like working

for the CIA,
except it pays a lot better.

Oh, hell, it's all the same
chessboard, you know that.

See, that's the problem,
right there.

Everybody's playing chess.

Nobody's thinking about
the living, breathing pieces

that we sacrifice along the way.

You know, it's funny. When
I can't sleep at night, it's not

the things I've done
that keep me up.

It's the people I couldn't save.

And that's what
made you so good.

If you ever
change your mind...

Come on, sweetie.

You have the money?

New passport and ID?

You got cops
looking for you?

My friend said
that you can help?

[chuckling]
Yeah, I can help.

Come on.
We'll get you set up.

It's through here?

- MAN: Come on!
- MAN 2: Get out of here.

Hey, guys!

This is Jewel.

Jewel, say "hello."

Hmm.

[men chuckling]Hey, Jewel.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Let me go!
Get off of me!

Or what?
You'll call the cops?

Don't worry.

You'll still get
your new IDs.

[door opens, Jewel gasps]

Who the hell are you?

Neighborhood watch.

I just came to make sure
the girl was all right.

She don't look all right.

[whimpers]

MAN: Maybe
you should mind

your own business.

You know, I'll tell you...
[laughs]

I've tried.

But it turns out
I'm really bad at it.

But there are other things
I'm real good at.

So, why don't
you let that girl go,

and I'll let you
walk out of here?

[laughs]

Let her go?

Because you said so?

Lady,
I don't know

who you think you are,
but this is my world.

And in my world...

Season 01 Episode 01

Episode Title: "The Equalizer"
Aired on: February 07, 2021

JEWEL: I know how it
sounds... like I'm crazy.

The police have a video of me.

That's why I ran.

I swear,
I didn't do it.

I believe you.

I've been
where you are.

Alone, no one to turn to.

When I was a few years
younger than you,

I thought my whole
life was over.

What happened?

Somebody helped me.

I don't think
anyone can help me.

I mean, a minute ago,
I had a future.

And now, it's like
someone just dropped a bomb

in the middle
of everything good in my life.

I mean, who do you go to
if you can't go to the cops?

[keys jingle]

[car engine starts]

Where are we going?

To see some old friends.

- MAN: All right, let's do this.
- WOMAN: Money on the bar!

♪ Feels so good, so fine...

All right, last one.

♪ Hey, oh, oh, oh my

♪ The room feel good...

There's no way.

Zip it.

MAN:
Whoa!

[cheering]
Yes!

No!

Thank you for playing, fellas.

Now get out. The bar's closed.

- Get out! Get out!
- ROBYN: Hey, sharpshooter!

- [laughs]
- Shut up!

Get over here.

Here.
[laughs]

Hey. You still hustling
your customers?

Ah, you know, a lady's got
to have some game.

- [both laugh]
- We heard

you left the Company.

Eh, that's a story
for later, but...

right now I need a favor.

Yeah, anything.

ROBYN:
The girl's in trouble.

I need you to put her
up for a few days.

Okay.
Trouble's my specialty.

Yes, it is.

[both laugh]

Jewel, this is Melody,

one of my
oldest friends.

Now, I'm gonna need Harry

on this one.

Okay. Jewel, uh,
have a seat at the bar. Mike...

Yeah... will get you a soda.

Follow me.

Let's go down
and see Harry.

[door opens]

Unless you're bringing me food,
go away.

Damn.

I forgot to bring
a hostess gift.

Robyn McCall?

[chuckles]:
Oh, man.

It's been a minute.

About three years.

How's it going, Harry?

[sighs]: Oh, the government's
reading our e-mails,

fascism's on the rise,
ice caps are melting.

Pretty good, though. You?

- About the same.
- Mm.

- Is that credit card information?
- Yeah.

From every single customer
at Combstreet Holdings.

They hired me...
Well, not me,

an "anonymous
high-level hacker"...

To crack
their uncrackable server.

How long
did it take you?

17 minutes.
I know. Slow, right?

Looks like you made

some improvements
with the place. Right?

Enjoying being dead?

Are you kidding me?

Not having to look
over my shoulder

every two seconds
for the Feds...

This is the best thing
you ever did for me.

I thought introducing you

to your wife was the best thing

I ever did for you.

Even trade. You got him
out of one life sentence

and straight into another.

[Harry chuckles]

I'll get the girl settled.

What... what girl?

Okay, why do I
have a feeling

this is not a social call?

I need those freaky-ass
superpowers of yours.

[chuckles]:
All right. I'll get my cape.

- What's the target?
- NYPD.

[laughs]

Living room.
Kitchen.

Bathroom's
behind that door.

Towels, shampoo,
bath robe.

I also brought you
a change of clothes.

I used to wear that
top all the time.

It's super cute.

I know, it's
weird, right?

Strange people, strange place.

No, no, it's just, um
I'm used to being able

- to take care of myself.
- Don't worry,

we got you...
You're completely safe here.

But there are some rules.

No looking out the window,
no phone calls,

except to McCall and me,
and only use the land line.

I call my mom every night.

She'll be upset if I don't.

Oh, my scholarship
interview tomorrow.

If I don't make this,
I might lose my shot.

Okay, listen.

You want to live
to fight another day?

Just hang tough.

And do not leave
this apartment

for any reason.

Do you really think
she could help?

If anyone can,
it's McCall.

I'll see you tomorrow.

[sighs]

[door closes]

Okey dokey, I'm in.

Cops ID'd the victim
as Chance Kovak.

25. First-year associate

- at Steinem and Roe.
- Okay,

so what is a
fancy firm lawyer

doing in a downtown
alley after hours?

Place is a hot spot
for dealing.

Your boy had a history
of substance abuse.

They found heroin
in his system.

Cops figured
he went there

to score...
he got rolled.

Well, the girl said
there was a video.

It's attached to the file.

You want me to play it?

Okay. You don't have to give me
the mean look. Geez.

Oof.

Doesn't look like a fake.
No.

Which means it's really good.

Or she did it.

Which, believe me, is much,
much better than the alternative.

And what's the alternative?

Something very, very bad.

I mean, you're telling me
these things

are fake, right, which means
someone had to do this

in less than a few hours.

There is no deep fake
software on the market

that good, that fast,
which means it's either

Russian black hats or one
of the damn alphabet agencies.

What is this, Rob?
Is this some kind of intel op?

Who is this girl?

Just someone caught
in the middle.

And someone's going to a lot
of trouble to set her up.

[laughs]:
Oh, man, come on.

I got a good thing going here.

All right?
You've got to tell me

what you're bringing
down on us.

You know what?
It's okay.

I got it from here.

Really?
You sure?

You really want to do this?

Because you
have no idea

how deep these waters run.

What do you want me
to do?

Let her drown?

What do you need?

You know, I can't let
you do this alone.

That'd be s-sad, really.

Okay, dig into this lawyer's
background: Public records,

social media,

maybe hack his, uh, law firm.

What's a felony
among friends, right?

Wh-Where are you going?

To do what I'm good at.

Hey, hey. We've got a hit

ROBYN [over radio]:
We good?

Blip is up.
Unless they're vampires,

we should have
their pied-à-terre

It's 3:00 in the morning.
Go home.

DELILAH:
Mom?

Mom!

School? Remember?

Look, just because
you're unemployed

doesn't mean I can sleep in.

[sighs]

Come on, I can't be late.

What is so important today?

It's volleyball practice.

If I'm not on time,
Coach won't start me tonight.

Oh, FYI,
Dad's picking me up after.

[phone chiming]

Mom.

Make sure you call me
before you go to bed,

so I can say good night.

Do we really need to do that
every time I go to Dad's?

Fine. I'll call.

But tomorrow I'm sleeping over
at Caitlyn's after the dance.

So I'll just text. Yeah, 'cause we can't
have Caitlyn thinking

you still say good
night to your mom.

[quietly]:
'Kay.

Wasn't too much
at the room she was renting.

Mostly school books
and SAT prep.

I'm telling you,
this doesn't add.

Model student.
No record.

You don't just graduate
to first degree.

Maybe she's an overachiever.

Then why'd she stick
around to talk to us?

She's a thrill seeker,

or maybe she wanted
the attention.

[sighs]: Well... there's
something we're missing.

Dude, we have her
on video.

What's to miss?

I just ran your stealthies
through facial rec. Big nada.

Whoever these guys are,
they ain't on Facebook.

But your victim, Chance,
he's all over the place.

Twitter. IG.

Snap. But then about a week ago,
he goes crickets.

Stops posting anything.

Very unusual for him.

ROBYN:
37 Blackbird tattoo.

Really?
Uh-oh.

Thanks, Harry. Keep me posted.

♪

[clicking]

[beep]

[beeping]

MEL: 37 Blackbird?
I haven't seen that tattoo

since we were all
in Afghanistan.

What are ex-Special Forces doing
mixed up in all this?

I don't know, but it's something
important enough to blow up

me and a building
just to cover it up.

As expected, they neutralized
the tracker.

You sure it was the 37?

Positive. Why?

Well, I used some
of my old backdoors

to comb the military databases,
and neither of them are there.

Which means... Even the government

doesn't want to acknowledge
their existence.

Well, I can put out some feelers,

but they were definitely
focused on this.

I'm guessing
not his Netflix password?

It could be anything.

But look at the date

on the coatroom check.

MEL:
Two days ago.

The day he was killed.

You said he was
a junior associate?

- Yeah, first year. Why?
- Because of that symbol.

It's an Ouroboros.

- What?
- A snake eating its own tail.

It's also the emblem
of a private dining club

in Midtown.

They keep
their membership secret,

but they're titans only...

So why was Chance there?

Sucking up?

Getting business
for his firm?

There's no way they
would let a first-year

be their face in
a place like that.

No, he was there
for something else.

HARRY: Well, if the
club's so secretive,

we're never gonna
find out what.

They're not gonna
talk to us.

Sure they will.

You just have to know
how to ask.

Yes. This is Dr. Anika Kyle,

- State Health.
- [laughs]

We are tracking
a potential measles outbreak,

and we need to determine
if an individual

was in your club and who
he may have had contact with.

Thank you.

Chance came there with a note

to deliver
to one of the club members,

a Reese Pruitt.

The tech entrepreneur?

- Mm-hmm.
- What do we know about him?

I mean, he's at the forefront
of artificial intelligence:

Corporate robots, facial rec,
self-driving cars.

So could he pull off
that deep fake?

- Yeah, maybe.
- MEL: But why would he?

The guy's a saint.

He's donated millions:
Cancer research,

climate change.

I don't know,
but Pruitt invited Chance

to his table,
and things got heated.

Manager said
that Chance

- was pretty upset when he left.
- [phone chimes]

Yeah. Then he's murdered
the same night?

What a coincidence.

Find out what
connects these two.

37 Blackbird?

What the hell are
you into, McCall?

Just a little side project

for one of those living,
breathing people

we were
talking about.

This is not a side project,
not with these guys.

Just tell me
what you found.

Come on.

Hey, when your ex-wife
wanted to do that, uh...

screw-you trip to Cancun,

with her new boyfriend,

who put her on
the no-fly list?

The reason
you didn't find it

was because
the records are sealed.

Henry Willard...

James Burke.

Both were covert ops.

Both currently wanted
for war crimes.

Fun.

Don't be cavalier, Robyn.

Whatever this pet project is
of yours, drop it.

These guys are lethal.

I love you too, Bish.

But I was trained by the best.

You're damn right you were.

And remember Tangiers?

How that went down?

I remember.

When I see these guys,
I'm gonna do the same thing.

[phone ringing]

[car horn honks]

Harry, what'd you find?

Chance's law firm?

We went through
their client list.

Pruitt's on it. But there
was nothing in the case files

worth killing for.

I smell a rat.

I don't care how much money
this guy's donated.

He's involved.

Where can I find him?

PRUITT:

Hi, my name is Jewel Machado.

I'm here for my interview.

All right, let's go.

ROBYN: You know, I never
liked the idea of driver-less cars.

I prefer to be in control.

[locks click]

Got to love those child locks.

Where's my driver?

On a break.

Chance Kovak.

You met with him the
other day at your club.

What'd you two talk about?

You're not one of my employees,
I'm guessing.

Did you know
he was dead?

No.

I'm sorry
to hear that.

But what does that have
to do with me?

You tell me.

Look, fine.

The meeting was nothing.

The kid was a fan.
He said he liked

my vision for the future,

he said he hoped
to work for me someday.

So I gave him
a few minutes at lunch.

I was being kind.

Yeah, I hear
you're a real giver.

I try.

By the way,
what you said about

"being in control,"
that's just an illusion.

It doesn't matter
how carefully youdrive,

you never know when someone's
gonna cross over the line

and smash right into you.

Remember that.

Oh, I will.

You have a good day.

[car door opens]

[rings]Kapow.

[line ringing]Ooh!

Look at that,
already making a call.

Yeah. The woman that found you?
She found me, too.

I want to know who she is,
I want her

gone and I want those files!

Not a saint after all.

[phone rings]

Hey, Mel. What's up?

Jewel, please...
just talk to me.

I already told
you the truth.

What's it matter
what I say to you now?

[knocking]

Her lawyer's here.

ROBYN:
Detective Dante.

Tracy Sloan, Public
Defender's office.

I, um, thought no one was
available until tomorrow.

Well, my other case pled out.

[chuckles]

I haven't, uh, seen you before.

You new?

Two months.

But you've been
on leave, right?

For punching a lawyer?
[chuckles]

If you don't mind,
I'd like

to speak to my client now.

[imitates plane crashing]

What is it with teenage girls
and not listening?

It was stupid, I know,

but that scholarship is my only

shot at a real college,
to be something.

You should've told me.
You would've said no.

I've worked so hard
my whole life,

but I'm still going
to prison anyway.

I told you I was not gonna
let that happen.

I will get you out of this,
but I need you

to stay safe until I do.

Can you do that?

It wasn't just a lawyer.

The guy I punched?

He was the A.D.A.

On a case I had
against a dealer.

Guy hid his stash
at his girlfriend's.

She had no idea,
but this A.D.A.,

he leveraged her anyway,

threatened 20 years unless
she rolls on him, so she does.

Just as we go to trial,
he drops the case.

He says it isn't strong enough,

and he doesn't want
to hurt his conviction record

because he may
run for office one day.

So the dealer walks.

Guess what he did
to the girlfriend.

Why am I telling
you this?

So you know what kind
of man I am when I say

the case against that kid
in there is rock solid.

And you're gonna want
to plead her out.

Don't.

Something about
this isn't right.

I don't know what yet,

but I think
she's telling the truth.

Damn.[phone ringing]

Yeah, Harry, what's up?

Pruitt just got a call
from your mercs.

They know Jewel's been arrested.
They're planning on

killing her as soon as she's
transferred to Central Jail.

PRUITT: We can't
afford any more questions.

- I need this to be over.
- BURKE: We have friends inside.

Once she's at Central,
we'll be in control.

She won't survive the night.

She's scheduled to be
transferred in the morning.

We can't let her
get there.

MEL:
I know that look.

That's your "I'm gonna do
something crazy" look.

Yeah.

How's your aim these days?

Detective Dante?
Jack Gaynor from the PD's office.

I've been assigned

met with her
yesterday.

That was fun while it lasted.

ROBYN: We need to know
what Chance discovered.

What's in those files
that Pruitt is looking for?

Did you find anything with
those numbers he wrote down?

No. I mean, it's like finding
an old key on the sidewalk.

Until you know what door
it opens, it's useless.

I did, however, find this.

After he visited Pruitt
at the club,

Chance tried to contact
an old law professor of his,

Edward Freeman;
Teaches ethics at Columbia.

He even took an Uber up
to campus the same day,

but Freeman was out of town.

That means there has to be
something connected

to a legal issue.

Chance uncovered something
about Pruitt.

Something that even his law firm
was willing to hide.

Well, there was nothing
on their servers.

What if it's not on
their servers?

[phone ringing]

Aunt Vi.

- Your ex called.
- What's wrong?

It's Delilah. She never
showed up at Caitlyn's.

DELILAH: I don't want
to talk about this anymore.

- Thank goodness you found her.
- Yeah.

And humiliated me
in front of all my friends.

I'm going to my room.

You ain't going nowhere.

Sit.

She lied to her father.

She was at a party,
drinking and smoking weed.

And that dress
she's wearing?

She boosted it.

I think I'm just gonna
let the two of you

hash this out privately.

I will be in my room.

Stealing?

What the hell were you thinking?

You got a closet
full of clothes.

You have any idea
how lucky you are?

Right. You work with orphans
in third-world countries

so I can't ever be unhappy.

Unhappy about what?

These kids would kill
to have your life.

We give you everything
you want.

You mean everything
youwant.

You have no idea what
I want or who I am.

I mean, you and Dad just hop
in and out of my life.

Do you know how hard it is,

what I have to do every day

just to fit in?

Oh, you think you'd
fit in better

if you've been arrested?

I mean, I might as well
be in prison

living here with you.

You know what?

No phone. No iPad.

No TV, and...

Library code.

Chance went to the university.

Okay, and...?

And you're grounded
until I tell you you're not.

Thanks. We've been looking
all over for that.

[high-pitched ringing]

I'm not gonna lie.
You're gonna die tonight.

It's already
been decided.

Now what's up
to you is how.

Quick and painless

or slow and agonizing.

Like this bad guy speech?

[chuckles]
BURKE: That's funny.

[groans, coughs]

[groaning]

We had eyes
on the law firm.

We saw you putting
the pieces together.

Now, the question
is why.

We want to know
who you are

and who you're working for.

Hmm.

[shouting]

[muffled shouting]

[gurgling, groaning]

WILLARD:
Bring her up.

[coughing]

[exhales]
You know,

it's gonna be hard to stage

my death if you waterboard me.

You can't just
shoot me up with dope

and pop me
like you did Chance.

Not with water in my lungs.

We'll think of something
more creative for your death.

What's in these files anyway?

What's Pruitt hiding
that's worth killing for?

Honestly, we don't care.

He just hired us
to get them back.

I'm gonna ask you
one more time.

Who are you?

It's funny.

You don't know anything
about me,

when I know all about you.

Henry Willard.

James Burke.

I knew you were coming for me,
so I made some arrangements

with an old friend of mine.

Uh-oh.

Red dots.

That can't be good.

See, the moment
you put that gun to my head,

I activated the
tracker I'm wearing.

They just knew not to move in
until I got your confession.

Hands up!
Let me see 'em!

Turn around!

Now!
On your knees!

Down, down.[
ties zipping]

Gentlemen.

I have some dear friends
in Washington... [grunts]

...who are anxious

to meet you.

Just like Tangiers.

Yeah, except, this time,
you're cutting me loose.

Go finish this.

[exhales]

[phone rings]

She dead yet?

ROBYN:
No. But she is pissed.

She's here.
Find her.

I found all those files
you've been looking for.

Especially that secret study

about the flaw
in your self-driving software.

The one
that's already caused 87 deaths.

Now, you know
you should've reported that.

But you had to cover it up,

putting millions at risk.

- [guard grunts]
- [glass shatters]

Somehow Chance found out.

He knew he needed
to warn people

but he couldn't violate
attorney-client privilege.

So he came to you.

[guard 2 grunts]

But you,

you knew it would destroy
your golden reputation,

cost you billions,

probably land you in jail.

So you figured
you'd crunch the numbers.

87 lives...

What's one more?

[gasps]

And then when the girl saw
what happened...

...you went after her, too.

Framed her for murder
with that video.

Listen, we can work this out.

What do you want?

Money?

You people.

You think that you can buy
and sell the whole world.

You think your life is more
valuable than everybody else's.

I can make you rich

beyond your wildest dreams.

Everyone has a price.

Not me.

You're right.

Control is just an illusion.

Thanks, Harry.

My pleasure.

[indistinct police transmission]

DANTE: We were able to
recover the undoctored video

from Mr. Pruitt's safe.

It confirms
that you were telling the truth.

All charges against you
have been dropped.

So that's it?

I'm free to go?

You are.

I do have a question.

That public defender
who visited you...

What'd you two talk about?

Just my case.

Ever see her before?

No, but... she was nice, though.

And the attack
on the police van...

You said it was
the same men from the alley.

Why do you think
they'd do that?

I don't know. I'm just...

lucky I got away and could hide.

Very lucky.

You must have
a guardian angel.

[exhales]

I said what
you told me.

It's over.

Not completely.

[indistinct conversation]

Now, I can't guarantee
the scholarship,

but I can at least make sure
you get to shoot your shot.

What can I do to thank you?

Go be something.

- Ms. Machado.
- Hi.

♪

[indistinct conversation]

Aunt Vi,

tell Delilah to get dressed.

[lock buzzes,
indistinct chatter]

DELILAH:
Why are we here?

We're here because...

when I was 17,

I stole a car.

It was after my dad was killed.

I was... running
with the wrong crowd.

I was young. I was dumb.

I was hurting.

But you know what
the world saw?

They saw a young Black girl
in a stolen car.

Most judges would've
just sent me away.

But I got lucky.
I got this one judge who...

didn't look at my priors.

She-she looked at me.

She saw me, all of me,

and decided there was something
that was worth saving.

So she gave me a choice,

jail or the Army.

And every day, I wonder
who I would be

if she didn't give
me that choice.

Now, baby girl,
you are at a age

where you are making choices.

You have to decide who
and what you want to be.

But I want you
to take a look out there.

Look at those girls.
Tell me what most of them

have in common.

[indistinct chatter]

[quietly]:
I see it.

Now, I know the world
is shifting under your feet.

And you're just expected
to roll with everything.

And I know
it's hard.

But the world
is just looking for a reason

to put a young Black girl
like you

on the other side of that fence.

Don't help it along.

Now, about this dress.

I will settle things
with the store,

but you're gonna
pay me back.

Oh, I could use
my birthday money.

Or you could make the world
a better place.

They just happen to be looking
for volunteers

for their literacy program.

And I'm thinking about
25 hours ought to do it.

You think
you scared her straight?

[chuckles]
Who knows?

I think
she was just relieved

that I didn't check
her ass in.

But...

it did make me wonder
about Jewel.

What would've happened
if I hadn't followed her?

And how many others
are out there like her,

desperate, with
nowhere to turn?

Got to be
legions of 'em.

They have somewhere
to turn.

To me.

They turn to me.

We just have to
let 'em know.

- Ohhhh!
- Oh! What?!

MEL: Over the
shoulder!
