Jason.

You two must have broke the speed limit

to get here this fast.

She's gone.

She, uh... she pulled over
to the side of the road.

Someone saw her slumped in
the car, called it in.

Paramedics had naloxone,
got her breathing again, but...

It was too much damage.

She passed ten minutes ago.

Getting ready to celebrate
her sixth month being clean and...

I'm so sorry.

What can we do, Jason?

Is there anything that
we can take care of?

Well, um, I... I had...
I had my folks pick up Emily,

but, um...

Jason, why don't you come with us?

You shouldn't be alone, not right now.

Okay.

I keep thinking, um...

what I'm gonna say to Emily,
the actual words.

"Mommy's never coming home."

I mean, she's three.

She... she... she doesn't even
really know what "never" means.

You know?

A book, I guess. I'll...
I'll get a book.

I'm telling you this is the
best food for 100 miles.

DA Glassman. How are ya?

Whoo, Jason.

Synced & corrected by QueenMaddie
www.addic7ed.com

I'm gonna resign as District Attorney.

I think it'd be easier
on Emily if I'm around,

and well, I don't know
if I can do this anymore.

10% of the folks in my
county have an arrest

for opioid possession.

Four years I've been in office.

I feel like all I'm doing
is locking up my own people.

What you say makes sense.

Only advice is, take a beat.

If it is the right decision,

it'll still be right
a few weeks from now.

When she had their daughter,

it was a... really difficult delivery.

So the doctor prescribed some
pills to manage the pain.

And after the first
refill, she was hooked.

You know, something
like that happening to Maya,

that's my worst nightmare.

She went to rehab.

We thought she was doing better, but...

Kate and I are so...

Were so alike.

It just makes you think,
if it could happen to her, it...

That's the whole point about
the opioid crisis, Syd.

It can happen to anyone.

- Dad, you wanted to see me?
- Shut the door, son.

I wanna do a deep dive

into prescription painkiller abuse.

Who's been fighting
these companies in court?

What's worked, what hasn't.

Want me to read Sydney into it?

No, not yet.

I don't wanna get her hopes up.

People thought the settlement was big,

but it was less than half
of 1% of Big Pharma made

on those drugs in one quarter.

It's not exactly a deterrent.

No, all right.

Uh, I'm gonna take a look
at the trial transcripts,

see if there's anything that
they could have done better.

I'll call the capitol and get the latest

on how much these drugs
are costing the state.

Great.

Should I tell your dad
we're looking into this?

Uh, let's wait.

I don't want him thinking I'm
off on one of my crusades.

- All good?
- All good.

Best part about this
approach is if we win,

we don't just get justice for Kate,

we save the whole town.

There we go.

Yes. I think this'll work.

Jason said his whole county
was decimated...

Good work.

- Yeah.
- Oh, track down Briana.

We're gonna need her on this.

- I think there's a case we can make
- I wanna take a run

- ... on Jason's behalf.
- ... at this opioid problem.

So, you've been thinking about it?

Since the minute we got back to Memphis.

Sweet.

♪ If the music make you move ♪

♪ 'Cause you can dig the groove ♪

♪ Then groove on ♪

I'd be interested in hearing...

Memphis Bachelor of the Year?

Robbie, I'm gonna have to call you back.

Okay.

You are Memphis Bachelor of the Year
two times running.

Oh, God.

Someone in the office may put me up
for that as a... as a joke.

I'm pretty certain it was Della.

Well, you know, not to be a buttinsky,

but since I've been staying here,

things have been pretty dry for you

in the feminine company department.

Am I, uh, interfering with your game?

- No.
- Because you can always

put a hat on a door

- or some kind of sign...
- George, George.

I'm good.

Anyway, while we're in here,

I wanna speak to you
about something sensitive.

Okay.

Yeah, the wrongful imprisonment suit,

that's going really well.

Well, that's good,

because I am planning myself

one heck of a world tour.

Part of that case,
that's gonna be letting

the jury see all the
things that you have lost.

So that means, among other things,

we're gonna have Sara testify.

So I don't know if you want me
to speak to her first, or...

No, I want you to leave her alone.

George, that's your ex-wife.
That's the mother of your son.

Yeah, and she went through hell,

just like I did.

I mean, think, Jake.

The whole point of me lying to her

and tell her I was guilty was
so that she could move on.

- I get it, but...
- No, no buts.

No buts, not on this.

Look, I'm sorry, amigo.

I know you're just doing your job,

but I am telling you on this one,

leave her be.

Okay, "public nuisance."

Now, I admit, it's been
a few years since law school,

but these laws were designed
to prevent things like

companies polluting a
river upstream from a town.

Think of the pain pills as pollution.

Toxic smoke being released to the public

without enough caution or care,

belched from pill mills,
even though we know

the kind of damage they do.

What is that?

Oh, that's a mill and then
smokestacks and smoke.

Looks like a dying train.

The Titanic about to sink.

It's a jack-in-the-box vaping.

Okay, never mind the drawing.

That's not the point
of the presentation.

- What do you think?
- I think it's a national case.

Maybe one day, but for now,

It's about one town a few hours
east that needs our help.

Okay, I see the concept,
and you both know

I'm gonna love getting
dirt off of any scum

who profits off this.

But who exactly is our client?

That's the best part.

You sure about this?

We got continuances on
the cases we need to

and rooms at hotel off the interstate.

We're not leaving without a win.

You're not doing this for me, are you?

We're doing this for you and
for every DA in every town

that's facing the same
impossible tide, Jason.

- I, Sydney Strait...
- I, Elijah Strait...

"Solemnly swear I will
faithfully perform the duties

"of an assistant district attorney

of the state of Tennessee,
so help me God."

BOTH: Solemnly swear
I will faithfully perform

the duties of an assistant
district attorney

of the state of Tennessee,
so help me God.

Congratulations, you now represent

the people of Tennessee.

Didn't know DAs could team
up with private counsel.

Yeah, it's rare,
but it's not unheard of.

We take a temporary
leave from our practice

and then, for one case,

we have all the powers of a prosecutor:

launching investigations,
bringing charges,

recommending sentences.

Hmm, sounds kind of badass.

It is kind of badass.

Do you wanna go up real quick?

Uh, we have almost a
dozen clinics to hit up

and not a lot of time, so...

So that's a no.

I'll meet you at the
DA's offices around 5:00?

- Be careful, you two.
- Oh, we the law now.

Uh, checking in. Strait.

Last name's Corsair.

Like a pirate.

Corsair. Thank you.

One of these days, someone's
gonna get that reference.

Here you are, sir.
Elevator's on the left.

Thank you.

It's French, right?

Are you sure you don't want
me to come in with you?

- To do what?
- I don't know,

just be a concerned friend

who can talk about how
much pain you're in.

Sydney, what's going on?

Is this weird, Bri, doing this,

getting the painkillers? 'Cause...

Is this weird 'cause of my brother?

Look, I already told you,
I used to score for Alec

all the time before I
knew drugs were bad.

Okay, well, you can
shrug it off if you want,

but I am here for you.

- Good.
- Okay.

Stay here, otherwise I'm
not gonna find a ride home.

Okay.

Yeah, so I was picking up my baby

and my back got hurt.

On a scale of one to ten,
ten being the worst,

how do you rate your pain?

Mm, a six.

You mean an eight?

Yes, an eight.

Nonspecific acute back pain.

Here's a prescription for
40 milligrams oxycodone,

three times a day, 30-day supply.

Uh, is 90 pills a lot?

It's a standard initial dosing.

Come back in month and
we'll see if we need to increase it.

Thank you.

Uh, is 90 pills a lot?

It's a standard initial dosing.

Come back in a month and
we'll see if we need to increase it.

90 pills without even a cursory exam.

Horrible but legal.

You got 90 pills from everyone?

Well, since I was a new patient,

most clinics told me to go home,

take an aspirin and apply heat.

Only these three...

... were so generous.

All owned by Dr. Lee Pyle.

Let me guess.

That's the guy Jason cold-cocked?

Mm-hmm.

At least he got the right guy.

Pyle graduated top of his
class at Johns Hopkins,

but quit internal
medicine when he realized

he could make more money
opening pain clinics.

Since Pyle's clinics opened...

Drug arrests have tripled

and 14% of babies born in the county

now have prenatal exposure to opioids.

Get this. One of
Pyle's clinics prescribed

13 million pills in the last five years.

13 million to a town of 400 people.

Dad, he is our case.
He's our public nuisance.

I mean, his clinics are
killing this part of the state.

Let's not forget about
his history with Jason.

If we go after him,

it could look a lot like
malicious prosecution.

The numbers speak for themselves.

I mean, Pyle is just as evil

as anyone in a drug cartel.

All right, let's bring him
in with his lawyer.

Apply some heat.

You hear what I said, Jake?

Yeah.

You were saying whoever it was

that framed George,
it's not some big conspiracy.

How's he doing?

Sometimes... sometimes,
he's the life and soul

of the party, you know.

He does these great, crazy things.

And then other times...

I have... I have a friend,
he's a shrink,

and he says that he suffers
from something called

the Don Quixote syndrome.

George... acts like the world is

this amazing place so that...

he doesn't have to deal
with all that he lost.

I wish I could get you more
than just Detective Walker

for your case.

His testimony implicates the Chief

as the man behind the cover-up.

With Chief being dead,

I think the mystery on who
killed Tess dies with him.

Is Sydney around?

No, no, she's on a case
with her dad out of town.

Why?

I heard that she lost the case.

She doesn't handle losses well,
so I guess I still worry.

She seems okay.

She and I used to come out here a lot.

- It's a good place.
- All right.

There's open container law
in Memphis, by the way.

I'll arrest you next time, Reilly.

Yes, Officer.

Hello?

- Where's your lawyer...
- Oh, I've brought no lawyer.

I have nothing to hide.

Please have a seat.

You're friends of Jason's,
acting now in his absence.

I hope he's doing well.

Please tell him I harbor
no ill will towards him.

He's a hero, and
his wife's overdose is a tragedy.

Mr. Pyle, as acting ADAs,
it is our duty to inform you

that you are under investigation

for you role in the proliferation

of opioid abuse in this county.

Sir, we have evidence that will prove

beyond a reasonable doubt
your part in destroying

a generation of citizens for profit.

Now, we are prepared to
discuss terms of a settlement

that would include the
shuttering of your clinics,

the funding of a rehab program,

and the surrendering of
your medical license.

You know, most of the men and women

in this part of the state,

they work jobs that
require manual labor.

And unlike everyone in this room,

they can't afford to
miss work due to pain.

I help them.

I keep food on their plates.

I allow them to live their lives,

and once I've got them
back on their feet,

I stop writing them prescriptions...

Which just forces them to
buy drugs on the black market.

I force them? Is that your legal theory?

Because I was under the impression

that most people simply stop
and go on with their lives.

As for the addicts, they're... well...

... addicts.

I could have told you
trying to scare Pyle

would be a waste of time.

I get why you punched him, though.

He's a smug son of a bitch.

A jury won't see that.

He'll fool 'em.

We are going to make this case, Jason.

What am I gonna do, Elijah?

I feel like I'm gonna suffocate.

You're gonna take one breath at a time,

live for your daughter,
do whatever it takes

to get it all one more day behind you.

Till when?

Oh, hey.

Hi.

I will let you know when I...

figure that part out.

Can we, uh...
can we get the check, please?

You're prosecuting Pyle?

Yes.

Then your money's no good here.

You like that wine you picked?

It's not bad.

This is my cell number.

Everything okay?

I just saw someone,
reminded me of a guy I used to know.

Thank you.

You got it.

A company builds a coal mine upriver,

and a few years later,
children downstream get sick.

A power plant burns toxic fumes

and people downwind
develop lung disease.

We've all heard these
kinds of stories before.

Well, in 1995,

a new kind of pain pill was introduced.

And what exactly is
your title, Dr. Banks?

I am the Chief of Medicine
at McCrae General.

Physicians were told that
it was not as addictive

as other painkillers.

Patients were promised
relief without risk.

It was hailed as a wonder drug.

Unfortunately,
none of that was accurate.

These medicines are highly addictive.

Like a poisoned river or polluted air,

the damage was subtle at first.

Ms. Stafford, what do you do?

I run a home that takes in children

whose parents have been deemed

temporarily unfit to care for them.

Manmade disasters take time

to reveal the true
extent of their horror.

When I opened in 2004,
I handled 13 children.

This year, so far, I've had 87,

almost all of them the
children of opioid addicts.

Our communities are being ravaged.

75% of all arrests are drug-related.

Our people are dying.

My three deputies have handled

47 overdose deaths since January.

And yet, even now, at this moment,

the epidemic continues to spread.

Why? Because
the defendant's pain clinics

sold more pills this
year than ever before.

More pills, even though
the people whose job it is

to take care of us are saying...

My hospital is strained
to the breaking point.

An entire generation of kids
are losing their parents.

My town is dying.

I should not be the one
speaking with you here today.

Your DA, Jason Glassman,
should, but he can't.

Because his wife recently became

the 48th overdose death
this year in the county.

Dead because of pills...

that trace back to one
of Dr. Pyle's clinics.

Clinics that dare to call themselves

places of healing, when in reality,

all they do is exploit
the vulnerable for profit

and wipe out entire communities.

And they are wiping out your community.

Thank you.

- Hello.
- Hi. Is Mr. Reilly in?

I'm Sara Carpenter,
George Bell's ex-wife.

- Just a moment.
- Thank you.

I don't understand.

You said my testimony would
be important to this trial.

Why would you call and cancel?

My hope is that we
won't even go to trial.

Okay? This case, it's so strong...

And I would make it stronger.

This is George, isn't it?

He doesn't want me to be a part of this,

because he hates me.

No. No, he doesn't hate you.

Then why?

He doesn't wanna put you through it.

- That doesn't make any sense.
- Well, it does to him.

Is he okay?

'Cause I've... I've asked around,

and people have said that
men in George's situation

can really struggle.

He's... he's working his
way through a few things,

and he's... he's doing it his way.

You sound like a guy
who's trying really hard

to not answer my question.

I'm just a guy who is doing his best

to try and respect George's wishes.

I respected his wishes once.

Maybe if I hadn't,
I could have saved him.

Your message said you had
something important to tell us.

So here we are, Mr. Carlson.

We are in the middle
of a trial right now,

so we'd appreciate if
you got to the point.

I was the EMT who found

District Attorney Glassman's wife.

Well, I... I don't wanna
screw anything up.

I just want assurances.

Why don't you tell us
what's troubling you

and we can go from there.

Well, all of us love DA Glassman, right?

Uh, so when we found his wife,

it was bad enough she died.

We all knew it was the
pills that hooked her.

She had those empty bottles
right where we left 'em.

But she, um... she also
had some burnt tinfoil

with a lighter.

Heroin. She was smoking heroin.

When she coded, me and my partner

wanted to spare Mr. Glassman the insult.

So... we threw it out.

We didn't know there'd
be some big trial.

Say the word and I
won't ever repeat this.

I mean, I'll... I'll...
I'll lie if I need to.

You did the right thing coming to us.

So why don't you let us
discuss what we need to do

and we'll get back to you
first thing in the morning.

You can't tell anyone,
not if you wanna win the case.

If we were the defense,
we would have no obligation

to turn over evidence
that could hurt us.

As prosecutors, we have to turn over

any exculpatory evidence.

- Maybe there's a loophole.
- Sydney.

If she was using heroin,
Pyle is the reason.

I'm not saying we break the law.

I'm just saying... I'm wondering,
since we're not real DAs...

We are real DAs.

If the jury hears
"heroin," you are done.

They will no longer see some sweet lady

who was led astray.

They will see a drug addict
who crossed the line.

- Bri, hold on that is not...
- I'm sorry, it's true.

Well, doesn't that just prove our point

that pills led to that...

Nuh-uh-uh, weakness led to that,

not some doctor, not
some pill mill... weakness.

I think, maybe,
your judgment is clouded here.

Actually, my experience
is informing my judgment.

Thank you. I know
how people see drug users.

Look, she won't be a victim.

She will be some woman who chose drugs

even though she had a great life

and a loving husband.

Oh, my God, we'll have to tell Jason.

Not if you bury it like you should.

- How we doing here?
- Okay.

That was something the other day.

You hit me with that French thing

and then you sauntered
off to the elevator

like you claimed victory

and then you just departed the field.

Is that what I did?

Kind of.

- I'm Hannah.
- Elijah.

I know, 'cause everyone in this hotel is

talking about you,

'cause you and your daughter
are kind of a big deal.

I wouldn't say all that.

Motorcycle?

Yeah.

"Easy Rider" kind of thing?

You just really dated both of us.

But yeah, actually,
I'm riding cross-country.

It's part of a midlife crisis, I think.

The marriage blew up

and my son got safely off to college,

and I realized I couldn't
even remember the last time

I looked at things,
you know, in real life.

Hmm.

Coast to coast with just
what you can carry, huh?

It's kind of freeing, in a way.

Sounds nice.

You have a heavy heart?

So much for the poker face, huh?

Uh, ethical dilemma.

I gotta do something tomorrow
I really don't wanna do.

I'm sorry.

- Max?
- Yeah.

Can I have another and
whatever Hannah's having?

You got it.

It was really nice talking
to you, Elijah.

It was like I needed it,
and I didn't even know it.

Yeah, same.

On behalf of my client Dr. Pyle,

I'm gonna to choose to believe you

when you say that this man
came forward yesterday.

Planning on dismissing the charges?

No, we don't feel that
it hurts our case.

Right.

Okay, so we know he's going to use it.

- Put me on the stand.
- Jason.

Let me protect my wife's reputation

before Pyle tries to destroy it.

No, no, no, you don't let

the loved ones of the an addict
try to defend the addict.

- It will backfire.
- He loved her.

- The jury will see that.
- It will only make it worse.

And so when did you first know

that Katie was addicted to opioids?

When our daughter was two,
I found a stash of pills.

I'm embarrassed to say that I was guilty

of a basic bias.

I thought that drug addicts
looked a certain way

or had a certain character.

And even though I'd been prosecuting

plenty of good, normal people,

I still thought that...
that it was a weakness.

I take it you wouldn't
describe your wife as weak.

Oh, she's the strongest
person I ever met.

She ran her practice, our house,

did ten other things
all at the same time.

She was Superwoman.

After you discovered
your wife's addiction,

- you sent her to rehab.
- Yes.

You asked her to submit

to weekly drug tests as
part of her recovery.

- Yes.
- Did life ever go back to normal?

When a person you love becomes addicted

to this poison, there is no normal.

Every unanswered text is sinister.

Every unexplained hour is a nightmare.

My wife was the addict, but her illness

turned me into someone
who wasn't so much living

as accumulating day after day of dread.

But if she was doing everything right,

why be worried?

Because there's an endless
river of pills out there.

And men like to defend
it and make sure to put

their clinics next to supermarkets,

dry cleaners,
so that people like my wife,

who they hooked in the first place,

are never more than one bad moment away.

Jason, your wife did not die
from taking pills, did she?

No.

Like so many other
people in this county,

she graduated to the only
thing that was easier to get

than one of his prescriptions.

Heroin?

Yes.

The love of my life...

my soul mate...

my wife...

walked into a pharmacy one day

and then died on the side
of the road, smoking heroin,

less than three years later.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

Mr. Glassman,
I'm very sorry for your loss.

Is it true that when Dr.
Pyle tried to talk to you

after your wife's death,
you punched him in the face?

Yes.

Because you blame him for her death?

Yes.

Yet you just told the
court that she died

of a heroin overdose.

That's correct.

I'm confused.

Did Dr. Pyle prescribe your wife heroin?

- Of course not, but he...
- Mr. Glassman,

how long have you been the
District Attorney here?

Coming up on five years.

And in that five years,

how many drug prosecutions
have you brought

against licensed medical
doctors like Dr. Pyle?

- None.
- How many prosecutions

have you brought against pain clinics?

- None.
- How many times

have you asked your former employer,

the esteemed Elijah Strait,
to represent the county?

- None, but obviously that's...
- Have you ever before

prosecuted a physician
as a "public nuisance"?

- No.
- So everything about this case

is unprecedented.

Is that because you're
an angry, grieving,

- district attorney...
- Objection.

- Indulging in a malicious...
- Objection, Your Honor!

Prosecution so that you
have someone to blame

- other than your wife...
- Mr. Colton,

- that is enough.
- Or her heroin dealer?

- Or yourself for her death?
- Objection!

Another word and I'll
hold you in contempt.

So just to be clear, Mr. Glassman,

before your wife's death,
did you ever tell anyone

anywhere in any capacity that
you were bringing charges

against my client or
any pain clinic owner?

No, but I wish I had.

I'm sure you do.

Nothing further.

You can't miss Istanbul.

Two words for you.

"Midnight Express."

It's, uh... it's a movie, George.

It's a cautionary tale.

What, lady friend?

It's... it's Sara.
I-I didn't ask her to come.

Well, tell her to go away.

She's your ex-wife, George.

I can't... I can't tell her to go away.

- Hey.
- Hi.

- Please, come in.
- Thank you.

Hi.

Hi.

Jake said you were good.
I was happy to hear that.

Yeah.

I'm a principal at a
school outside of Atlanta.

I went admin, can you believe it?

Had you told me back in
the day that I'd end up

with a job like that...

Well, whoever they are, they're...

they're lucky to have you.

When I first got word
that you were innocent,

I was so mad.

All I could think was,

you let me think that
you were a monster.

And some part of me always
knew you were lying.

I knew it,
and yet I let myself believe that...

I'm so sorry, George. I am so sorry.

No. Hey, hey.

You did the right thing.

I mean, we got a bad hand

and we played it the best we could.

No, I am not gonna
do this again, George.

I'm not gonna pretend that
you're okay when you're not.

But I am. I'm... all things considered.

I don't believe you.

There may have been 20 years,

but I still know you.

Okay, now this...

... see, this is why
I didn't wanna see you.

I didn't even wanna tell you.

Why would you say that?

Because...

I'm trying to move on,

and I can't do that

by talking to you or
anyone else about the past.

My life was destroyed.
Is that what you wanna hear?

God reached down and picked me up

and threw me into hell,

where I was left to rot

while everybody else got to go on.

Is that what you want me to say? There.

Are you satisfied?

Go home, Sara.

Go back to your friends
and your husband,

and forget about me.

Forget all about me.

Live your life

and let me try to live
what's left of mine.

Okay, is it good or really good?

I kept telling you
addicts are all the same.

Then I realized dealers
are all the same too.

Guys like Pyle don't get to the top

playing by the rules.

I don't understand. You're not in pain.

I'm not, but see,

I have a steady supply
of people who are,

people I will bring to you
if I know you can handle

such a large demand.

You just proposed
large-scale insurance fraud.

Did they go for it?

Turned out, they didn't
have the authority to say yes.

I have to call the boss.

Come back same time tomorrow?

I went to clinics I hadn't
been to further out,

found two that said yes,
provided their boss said okay.

- Pyle.
- Yeah.

Look, forget about "public nuisance."

You get these guys to flip,
he'll be looking at 25 years.

Now, hold on. Y'all are working
for the DA's Office, remember?

Which means what you just did,
Briana, is entrapment.

Can't use that tape.

Oh, we don't need to.

You think this is the first time

they ever did a deal like that?

That's the thing about dealers.
Their drug is greed.

Get into their clinics,

tell them you have
proof of prior bad acts,

you'll flip 'em.

Well,

I'll talk to the Sheriff,

and you can hit him up
first thing in the morning.

Elijah, what a nice surprise.

I was actually looking for you.

I wanted to say good-bye.
I'm heading out in the morning.

Open road, huh?

Something like that.

Well, it was a genuine pleasure
meeting you, Hannah.

Yeah, you too.

Do you feel that?

That feeling that in another universe

or in another lifetime...

Then I won't say good-bye.

I will say... to be continued.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Mr. Donnelly, I'm Assistant
District Attorney Elijah Strait.

- What do you want?
- You.

Mr. Deitchman, my name is Sydney Strait.

I'm with the DA's Office.

I'd like to talk to you
about your relationship

with Dr. Lee Pyle.

I'm an independent businessman,

haven't worked with Dr. Pyle in years.

Well, that's just not
true, Mr. Donnelly.

We know about the arrangement you

and Malcolm Deitchman have with Pyle.

This is your last chance.

Whoever gives us Pyle
first gets immunity.

The other will spend the next 15 years

in West Tennessee State Penitentiary.

- Do what you want.
- You're bluffing.

- I'll plead the Fifth.
- I'll plead the Fifth.

He's pleading the Fifth too.

Are we out of moves, Bri?

No, we just gotta get creative.

You're wasting both
of our time, Mr. Strait.

I've got nothing on Pyle.

He's just my former boss.

I send him a fruit basket at Christmas.

That's about all.

Are you sure about that "former" part?

Yes. Like I said yesterday, former.

Did you think that bringing me in here

was gonna scare me into
changing my answer?

I was hoping it might make
you do the right thing.

Obviously, I was wrong.

Well, you should have
believed me yesterday

when I told you I'd plead the Fifth.

Son of a bitch.

Well, Mr. Deitchman,
I won't be bothering you again.

No, wait.

I'll cooperate. I'll give you Pyle.

That ship has sailed.

Do you have him on Medicare fraud?

I kept records just
in case I needed them.

I'll... I'll make your case.

Did you get to the best part?

Where Deitchman describes
how drug dealers bus in

homeless people to get
prescriptions at your clinics

and then gives you a cut
of the street profits.

I'm particularly looking forward

to a jury hearing that one.

- What do you want?
- Don't say a word.

Shut up, Neil.

What do you want, Mr. Strait?

For starters, all of
your clinic's, assets, and profits.

We'll use that for drug prevention.

Okay.

I mean, all of it,

every last penny of
the millions you made

killing this community,

Then Federal time.

No. No, I'm not going to prison.

Oh, you're going to prison.

The only question is,
will it be 50 years or 15?

What do I need to do to get 15?

Give me your suppliers,

drug companies themselves.

You are still here.

Well, you know me, always another case.

I haven't heard from Alec in six months.

Uh, that is the longest
stretch since I was 15.

I know he's okay.

I pay off his dealers,
and I keep tabs on him.

I know I'm not supposed
to pay off his dealers,

'cause I'm supposed to
let him hit rock bottom.

It's just, uh, I am worried

when he hits, he's not gonna make it.

And that's where I am on all that.

Okay, come here.

I'm sorry, Bri.

Yeah, me too.

Wanna get something to eat?

Yeah, I'd like that.

Okay, good.

Come on.

I caved.

Istanbul is on the schedule.

"In another lifetime." I like that.

On the drive back, I was thinking, uh,

"How did I do what I used to do?

How did I compartmentalize like that?"

♪ Lay it down ♪

I love Carolyn very much.

And that's why you stopped.

It feels like now...

♪ I just met you ♪

Like, anything I do now

feels like a... a betrayal.

This just in.

You're a human being,

and it would be strange if
you didn't feel that way.

But you're not the man that you were.

And just because Carolyn is gone

doesn't mean you're gonna change back.

And that said,
here's what I know that I know

about your Carolyn.

She wouldn't want you to spend

the rest of your life mourning her.

And you wouldn't want that for her.
