Previously
onThe Republic of Sarah...A sizable deposit of coltan

has been discovered
right here in Greylock.

This morning, Governor Taggert
signed eminent domain paperwork

which gives
Greylock's public space

to the state
of New Hampshire.

You're gonna wipe Greylock
off the map.

I know how we can stop
the drilling.

This town was never
legally claimed by either

of its national neighbors.

[chuckles]: Who's in charge
if the mayor quits?

TYLER:
Ms. Cooper. She saved us.
She should be the leader.

I'm your family.No. You're the dude
that knocked my mom up

16 years ago,

then remembered he was gay
and ran off.

Why are you sitting
at the receptionist desk?

[quietly]: I know that this job
isn't gonna solve

all of our problems,

but it's the way
that I can make sure

we still get
to spend time together.

How long have you been sleeping
with Alexis Whitmore?

It-it took us a few tries
to get the ink right.

All the faces on our first round

Yet another reason
you'll make a great cover story.

[laughs softly]

Oh, um, Weston Woods,
Maya Jiménez.

Maya's the whiz kid behind

all of our
anti-counterfeiting measures.

Weston's doing a story on
Greylock for The Yorkshire.

He's gonna be in town
for a few days, so...

be nice.
[chuckles softly]

I'm always nice.

I didn't realize
Greylock had hippos.

[chuckles]
We don't.

[chuckles]
I let, uh, everyone

submit designs for
the ten-dollar bill,

and the second
graders' version

was definitely
the most original.

Third graders wanted
Michelangelo.

The artist?The Ninja Turtle.

That's what you get
for letting the people

have a say.

A hippo with a heart.

Yeah.[chuckles]

[phone vibrates]Oh. I'm sorry.

Got to take this.Yeah. Don't worry.

Marco.
[speaking Italian]

Sorry. Nice to meet you.Uh, you, too.

[speaking Italian]

He's a total babe.

Oh, my God.
I'm not discussing my love life

with a former student.

I'm sorry, what love life?

Very funny.

[chuckles]I agreed to
Weston's article,

because appearing in
a big magazine like his

will be really good
for Greylock.

Mm.It's gonna keep us

in the public eye,
boost tourism,

make us seem legit.

Hopefully it helps
with the endgame

of getting recognition
from the U.S.,

which means we get...

Diplomatic relations,

trade deals, a seat
at the international table.

I took civics in L.A.Okay.

Then you know
how important it is

for us to seem like we know
what we're doing.

That's what I'm focused on
with Weston.

You sure? 'Cause when
he walked off just now,

it kind of looked like
you were focused on his ass.

Any of that, uh, aggression
have to do with Alexis?

I still can't believe
you figured us out.[chuckles]

Dude, I had no idea
that you were sleeping with her

until that night at town hall,

whenever she walked in
and you gave her that... look.

Mm.And I-I know
that look, so...

But, seriously, don't worry.
Your secret's safe with me.

If anyone knows the horrors
of the Greylock rumor mill,

it's a former teen mom.

[sighs]So...

how is it going
with the lovely Mrs. Whitmore?

We're keeping things casual.
Keeping it casual.

Oh, there's no such thing as
casual when it comes to sex.

Maybe not to you,
Little Miss Child Bride,

but most of us still use it
for recreation,

not procreation.[laughs]Okay.

[chuckles]Okay, if the answer
really is just sex,

then can't you be
getting it from somewhere

a little more casual
than a married woman?

I thought you weren't
gonna be judgy about it.

I judge because I care.

I just don't want
you to get hurt.

Listen, I have a cynic's heart.
I'm not gonna get hurt.

We're not watching

We're playing Magic:

It's a strategy card game

He was there

I'm so sorry
about what happened.

Those Lydon guys
are totally out of control.

I know. 14 misdemeanors
in three weeks is a lot.

Yeah. Noise complaints,
shoplifting,

bar fights,
breaking into parked cars.

Those Lydon workers are stealing
the soul of this town.

Yeah.I may not be

the official leader of Greylock,

but I am the town clerk.

And those other civil admins
listen to me.

If you don't stop
those Lydon guys,

we're all gonna call in sick.

And then Greylock
will grind to a halt.

Liz, we are
on the same side here.

Just because I voted
for independence

doesn't mean I voted for you.

[door opens, closes]

So what did you end up
charging him with?

Officially, public intoxication,
battery and reckless buffoonery.

That's the best we could do?Drunk driving

wasn't quite covered
in the Greylock town charter.

I mean, it's hard
to foresee the need

to define "vehicular assault"

when horseback is
as far as you've gotten.

I'm sorry, do we not have
the same laws that we had

before you declared
independence?

No, when Greylock
became a country,

all American legal authority
over us was voided.

No more New Hampshire
state laws, no more U.S. Code.

The only document that
still holds water in our borders

is the town charter.

So why not reinstate
the U.S. Code?

The joy of starting a new
nation is fixing the things

that America got wrong instead
of just copy-pasting them.

And the town charter
gives us more than enough

to maintain
public safety.

Well, maybe before.

But now Lydon has unleashed
hundreds of rabid employees

onto our streets.

People are pissed.

Our phones are ringing...[phone rings]

Good morning. Greylock PD.

Of course you can make
a complaint.

You got to put a stop to this

before the whole thing
boils over.Stupid Lydon.

It's more like a frat house
than a Fortune 500.

[scoffs]Sorry about the accident
last night.

I'm here to post bail
for my client.Uh, yeah.

Hold on a sec.
Yeah, go ahead.

Lydon will pay
for Fernsby's medical bills,

as well as the cost
of replacing the hot dog stand.

You can't just buy your way out

of every problem
you create, Danny.

Maybe tensions
wouldn't be so high

if you'd bend a little on some

of the things we discussed--
adding midnight shows

at the movie theater,
keeping bars open later.Oh, yeah.

Okay, maybe we go old-school,
bring back opium dens?

Would that help them
behave better?

Make all the jokes you want.

Our other sites don't
have this problem,

because those towns understand

that a little compromise
goes a long way.

I'm not gonna let Lydon

SARAH:
In order to maintain
public safety,

I'm issuing an executive order.

Effective immediately,

all new arrivals to Greylock

will be subject to
a six-month probation period.

If, during those six months,

a person endangers the life
of a Greylock citizen,

causes damage
in excess of $5,000

or operates a motor vehicle
in a reckless manner,

they will be prosecuted
aggressively

and face deportation.

Lydon's only been in Greylock
four months.

Sarah's new rule
puts a leash on them

without affecting our people.

It's... very smart.

That's why
she's in charge.[chuckles softly]

So, how long
is William in the city?

Till Friday. His bank's put him
back to three days a week.

Mm. And what about Bella?

She's not due back until
the holidays, sad to say.

I miss her.

But we have the house
all to ourselves.

We can finally focus on us.

I like
the sound of that.

[both chuckle]

Ah, you know,
once you start spoiling me,

I'm not gonna let you stop.

Really? You saying I'm not
gonna be able to get rid of you?

No, no, no. I'm sorry.
That's not what I meant.

I'm not gonna be here
all the time.

You know? Unless you want me to.

I think things are great
the way they are.

Mm.We play house when we can,
and when we can't...

We keep it light.

That's what we agreed to
from the start.

Exactly. Why change it?

[indistinct chatter, laughter]

Tomato sandwich for the boss.

Grits with sugar
for the tourist. Ugh.

Oh, food comes
with critique now?Can't trust a man

who puts his sweet where he
should be putting his savory.

Who is that guy anyway?

He's a writer
for The Yorkshire.

He's doing an article on us.

I'm trying to get Greylock

some good publicity.

Or some bad.
I've read that magazine.

Some of their profiles
are pretty unforgiving.

Yeah, which is why
I'm trying to play nice.

Nice to meet you.
Weston Woods.

You must be Grover.Yeah.

Uh, yeah, have a seat.

Uh, no, maybe next time.

Duty calls.Okay.

[Sarah clears throat]

Oh.So, where were we?

Your executive order.

I'm a little unclear
on how you did that.

Um, we've been operating
under the Greylock town charter

since we gained independence.

It grants me the authority

to issue mandates
in times of crisis.

Uh, you plan on updating
that document any time soon?

[laughing]:
Yes. It's in the top five

of my Build-A-Nation to-do list.

I have bigger fish to fry
at the moment.

Everyone is up in arms
about Lydon running amok,

so, I had to act fast,

or there was gonna be a mutiny.

Hey, sis, care to explain

how your new
commandment isn't just

a veiled attempt
to target our employees?

All they have to do to stay
in town is behave themselves.

Is that...
is that really too much to ask?

No matter how we behave,
the law's discriminatory.

You're issuing different
punishments to different groups

for committing the same crimes.

Hi. My people are gonna flip
when they hear this.

They can flip all they want.

My people are happy
with the law,

and they're the only people
I care about.

You're playing
with fire, Sarah.Well, I've been

burned so much lately, I...

I doubt I'll feel a thing.

Nice guy.Not really.

Hey. Cooper.

[groans softly]I'm sorry

about the other night.

I was a bit of a dickhead
when you came in. It's my bad.

Yeah, look, I wasn't exactly
sunshine and rainbows myself.

Plus when people see me,
they see Lydon,

and I know that Lydon rubs
some people the wrong way,

so...It's all good, man.

I know you came back
to Greylock for work,

not to personally
blow up my household.Yeah, thanks.

Some people think
the only reason I'm here is

to ruin everything in town.

Nah, she doesn't think that.

That's not the way she acts.

It's just her nervous energy,
you know?

Well, listen, um, I know you got
your Lydon stuff going on,

and we got a lot going on here,
too, so, bygones, right?

Right.

Yeah.

Hi. I got your
text. What's up?

Somebody already broke
your new executive order.

What? I can't believe
someone was dumb enough

to get in trouble again so fast.

These Lydon dopes have
zero self-control.

It's not a Lydon employee.

♪

What the hell happened?[sighs]

Maya had one too many,

accepted a dare to climb
into a Lydon bulldozer

and knocked over an entire row
of porta potties.

Was anyone hurt?No, but Maya's lived
in Greylock

less than six months, and
her little stunt just so happens

to check every box
on your deportation bingo board.

I mean, reckless driving,

endangering lives, and damage
in excess of $5,000.

Yeah, but she's only 16.
She's a minor.

That doesn't count.I mean,

in ye olden days,
you'd be married

with three kids and a farm
by the time you were 16.

And the Greylock town charter
says 15 is the legal age.

And you said to prosecute
violators aggressively.

Yeah, well, then I'll unsay it.

I'll tell the D.A.
to drop the charges on Maya.

There's no way
I'm letting her get deported.

Okay. I gave you
an hour to cool off.

Now it's time to talk.

What you did tonight was the
most careless, irresponsible...

Immature thing ever.

Yeah, I know.

You could've gotten

Okay, it was nothing.

It's not nothing

I may not be
the most experienced dad

on the block,

What were you doing
with those girls anyway?

I told you,

I was just trying

If those girls

are encouraging you
to drink and cause trouble,

then they're the wrong kind

of friends have all ignored me

so I don't know
what you want me to do.

Yeah, but the someone you're

Only if you have chocolate.

Is there any other kind?

[both laugh]

All rise.

The Honorable Judge
Paula Judge presiding.

You may be seated.

According to the town's charter,
we will be having a bench trial,

which means no jury.

I alone will decide
Ms. Jiménez' fate.

Gentlemen...

you may proceed.

"Let's scorn
the tools bought by a sop,

"and every cringing fool.

"The man who basely
bends's a fop,

a vile insipid tool."

Those are song lyrics published
in October 1734

in The New York Weekly Journal.

And though they may not sound
very controversial today,

they landed the man
who printed them in prison.

His name was John Peter Zenger,

and he was accused of libeling

New York's royal governor.

In court,
Zenger confessed to the crime,

but when it came time for
the jury to render a verdict,

they did
the seemingly unthinkable.

They found him not guilty.

Zenger's case is often credited

as the origin
of jury nullification,

which is the power
of a jury--

acting as the conscience
of the community--

to acquit defendants
despite evidence of guilt

in order to challenge
a specific law

and prevent oppression.

Judge Judge,
today you are the jury.

You are the conscience

of this community.

And though there may be
evidence that my client broke

Sarah Cooper's...
woefully inept law,

I believe you'll see--

like the jury in
John Peter Zenger's case did--

that acquitting Maya Jiménez

is the only decision
that serves real justice.

I'd like to call the
arresting officer to the stand.

In your professionalopinion,

how common is it
for a law to treat

minors and adults the same way?

It doesn't happen much.In fact,

only in extreme cases
will a prosecutor

specifically ask for a child
to be tried as an adult.

And this case
wouldn't be considered extreme

were it not for this
ridiculous law, isn't that true?

All I know is I regret it
and it was an accident.

Ms. Jiménez was born
into criminal behavior.

Her mother was...Objection.

Your Honor, whatever
my client's mother

may have done is entirely

irrelevant to this case.

If we all had to answer
for the sins of our parents,

we'd probably all be in prison
right now.

My sister and I
would be doing life.

[laughter]
JUDGE:
Sustained.

Do you like
it here, Maya?I don't know.

I miss L.A.,
and I don't really fit in here.

But I guess there are
some things I like.

Fall leaves, and helping
with the government.

And I've made
some good friends, so...

Do you want to stay?

Yes.

I don't want

Not anymore.

Please just let me stay.

I will review all the evidence

and be back with a verdict
in the morning.

Now let's just hope we all get
the verdict we're looking for.

I really hate to admit it,

but Danny's really
good at lawyering.

Like, annoyingly good.

Yeah, he made the D.A. look
like a lost puppy.

I know he only did it
because Lydon told him to,

but Maya's lucky he stepped in
to represent her.

The judge was
pretty stone-faced.I've never seen anyone

thoroughly dominate
a courtroom like that.

Maya's gonna walk. No doubt.

DANNY:
Boom! Confiscate.

Got you on the ropes now.Look at you,

you're still losing.

this was like chess

Hey, man, let
him have it.

It'll make him feel better
when he loses this game.

I'm not gonna lose this game.

I got plenty of tricks
up my sleeve.

No, you don't.

I am gonna lose this game.

I had a lot to consider
in making this decision.

The language
of the town charter,

archaic though it may be,
clearly places the burden

of moral authority
on the town's chosen leader.

In this case,

Sarah Cooper.

She is "the conscience
of the community,"

as you so elegantly stated,
Mr. Cooper.

And she has chosen to issue
this executive order.

I am therefore obligated,

despite what other
personal objections I may have,

to find Maya Jiménez

guilty as charged.

[gallery murmuring, gasping]

I sentence you to be deported.

You're a fine young woman,

and I wish you all the best,
wherever you may land.

Maya, the only reason
I'm packing your stuff

I'm done packing mine.

I'm leaving Greylock with you.

Why would you do that?Because I've
been trying

to bring you into my life
for so long, Maya.

Now that you're here,
I don't want to lose you.

You're right.

I did give you up.

Look, your
mother and I,

it was a one-time thing.

But then, three months later,
she called me from L.A.

She told me she was pregnant.

I was living in Miami,
and let's just say...

I wasn't ready to be a father.

So when she gave me an out,

I took it.

And I regretted
it immediately,

started searchingfor you.

But the problem is,
is I was looking for a woman

who didn't want to be found,

living in a big city
on the opposite coast.

Which is why the day
that I got the call

that you were coming to Greylock
was the happiest day of my life.

Okay, you can't change history

Yeah. And what's that?

The fact that your mother...

♪ 'Cause I'm gonna love you

when you were five years old.

[crying]:
She left you
in a park, Maya.

[sniffles]

And the cops found
you, and your tia

talked them out
of taking you away.

And she convinced your mom
to stick with it.

But papers were filed
with the state.

It's one of the only leads
I had to know where you were.

I kept it a secret

because I wanted you to feel
like you've always been loved.

You're lying.

I am not lying...Just like Mom lied

when she said
she'd take care of me,

I've moved on, and that's
exactly what you should do,

so...

[birds squawking]

I know you're upset
with me, Luis.

That's an understatement.

I'll probably never forgive you
for what you're doing to Maya.

Dashing the little bit
of faith in humanity

that girl had left.

On top of that,
you made it so that newcomers

will always feel unwelcome
in our community,

which means they'll
never let their guard down,

which means they'll never
truly be a part of Greylock.

If they're not
treated equally by the law,

that opens the door
for inequality

to become a cornerstone
of this country's values.

You set a precedent
that Greylock's

gonna be
stuck with forever.

Unless you make it right.

You admit you were wrong.

You take your lumps
like the best leaders do

when things go bad.

Owning your mistakes doesn't
make you look weak, Sarah.

It makes you look strong.
It makes you look human.

Look, there's
always hell to pay

for doing
the right thing, but...

when you do,
it makes you better.

A better leader.

Better father.

Better person.

You want to fix this?

Be courageous
and do the right thing.

That's a precedent
worth setting.

[indistinct chatter]

Boy, you're not good
at this game, either.

I don't like you.

Yeah, well, you're gonna like
me even less after I do...

this. That's a checkmate.

Matter of fact, I hate you.

And I hate chess, and I hate...

all games.Hey, man,

it's not my fault
you abandoned your queen.[chuckles]

[groans]Oh, hey, gorgeous.

Hey.

Mwah.I thought you were, uh,

taking Josh to the
doctor's this afternoon.

Oh, it got canceled last-minute,
so...

ADAM [fading]:
Well, I think we're
just gonna play

one or two more games.
Is that okay?

I have to admit something.

My executive order
was a mistake.

I issued it because I didn't...
I didn't have a better way

to stop Lydon's workers
from misbehaving.

But today,

a friend reminded me that...

targeting newcomers
would break our community,

not build it.

At least, I-I really hope
he's still my friend.

As of an hour ago,
I've pardoned Maya Jiménez

and I've replaced
my bad executive order

with a better one.

From now on,

every crime in Greylock

will require
mandatory community service.

No more buying
your way out of trouble.

If you do wrong in Greylock,
you'll make up for it

by doing right in Greylock.

I've already informed Lydon
about the new policy,

and they've instituted
a company-wide code of conduct.

Knowing violators

would miss work
for community service

made them play nice
pretty quick.

I hope
that by admitting my mistake,

you will see how serious I am

about always doing what's right
for Greylock,

even when it means
confronting my own faults.

Especiallywhen it means
confronting my own faults.

Thank you. [knock on door]

You could've told me

Adam was Corinne's husband.

And you could've
not bulldozed my house.

Okay, fair point.

But Adam
should've said something.Well, he tried.

That's what that whole
awkward-ass apology was about.What?

I thought he was talking
about Sarah.

He brought her up when
we first met. That's...

That's who I thought he meant
when he said "she."

He was talking
about his household

and you coming back
into town to blow it up.

He was talking about Corinne,
his wife.

Well, that definitely
could've been more clear.

What was he supposed to say?
"Hey, man, I'm Adam.

We boned the same girl.
Nice to meet you."

Yeah, that definitely
would've been worse.

But how could Corinne

not have known
we were hanging out?

How do you tell your wife

that your new best bud
is her high school sweetheart?

[chuckles]
Right.

Right.
So, it's tough all around.

Adam's still a good dude,
though.
Yes.

I know.

It's annoying.

Hey, you want to play Magic?

I do.

You're smart
and charismatic,

and I don't think
there's many people

who could've saved this
town the way you did.

But the fact remains:
you've been running Greylock

for three months
without checks or balances.

The town charter grants me
the power

to do everything I've done.[scoffs]

And I was elected.

Plenty of dictators are elected.
Al-Bashir in Sudan,

Kagame in Rwanda.
I could go on.
Do not

compare me to them.Sarah,

you negotiated a power deal,

entered into diplomatic
relations with New Hampshire

and started a new currency,
all with no oversight.

Yesterday, you repealed a law
to save your friend.

And if all that doesn't add up
to totalitarianism,

I'm not sure what does.

The article is fair.

But if you can point out
anything in it

that's not true,
I will change it, okay?

You want to change
the perception of Greylock,

I've got an open mind
and plenty of column inches.

But for now, I've got
to call them the way I see them,

and...
[inhales]

I see a dictator.
