Good morning.

You guys already convinced me he killed her, and if he did,

they'll charge him in Wyoming.

Now I have to get back to work here

because I have work because I didn't piss off Roger.

Here's the thing, though...

he won't be charged in Wyoming because he can't be

because Arthur Covington committed the perfect murder.

[CHUCKLES]

You... [GRUNTS]

First the animals, now the national parks.

Bizarre and little-known and explosive legal fact...

even though all of Yellowstone

is in the judicial district of Wyoming

and most of it is in the state of Wyoming,

small parts of it are in Idaho and Montana.

Yeah, okay, that's actually Idaho and that's Montana,

but go ahead.

Anyway, the sixth Amendment to the Constitution says

juries have to be drawn from the state and district

where a crime is committed, right?

Well, in Covington's case, that means a jury has to come

from the Idaho section of Yellowstone

because that is where Covington's wife died.

But that is impossible because nobody lives

in the Idaho section of Yellowstone... nobody.

Population... 0.

- Did you make that? - I thought it would be fun.

This is the ultimate loophole.

A small stretch of land

where you can commit crime with impunity... even murder.

If you're smart and you want to kill someone,

this is the place to do it.

[LAUGHS]

That is the most insane thing I've ever heard in my life.

You're just making fun of the midwest, right?

Kate. I think you want to see this.

We believe that Mr. Arthur Covington

murdered his wife, Cynthia Covington,

in the western area of the park

right here in Idaho.

We intended to file charges against Mr. Covington.

However, because of a disturbing

jurisdictional deficiency,

we are unable to do so...

You're right.

Yes, of course.

But unfortunately, that means you now need another case.

No, it doesn't mean that.

Arthur Covington lives and works in New York,

which means if he planned the crime in New York,

I can get him here.

I am proud of you.

All big predator out on the hunt,

Or the other way around.

The name Merced Garcia isn't coming up

it's very difficult to track him.

And he may not even be processed yet.

Or accurately.

Look, I can try some contacts

I have at the agency, but...

What about Ramon?

You said he was at the courthouse.

I'm asking what if she turns him over to ICE?

If that happens, he goes into a refugee resettlement facility.

Now, that could be in New York or Michigan or Florida.

He could be moved around. He probably would be.

He'd be there for days or months.

There are rules, but the rules don't really apply anymore.

He could be kept in a cage.

He could be given psychotropic drugs.

He could be forced to walk around without shoes,

to clean toilets with his bare hands,

to sleep standing up.

He could be sexually abused.

You want to know what happens?

This happens.

Ramon very well might stay in the US, in foster care,

one week before going to Yellowstone

because you didn't want her

to be able to call for help.

That's better! Yes.

But I change our cellphone service

every six months at exactly six months,

and that's what I did here.

Try again.

You bought an expensive GPS watch at the airport

so you'd know you were in the right area of the park

when you pushed her over the side of the trail.

All right, first of all, I don't appreciate that.

The watch wasn't expensive.

It was reasonably priced.

But anyway, it was never used.

Still in the box at home.

Cynthia didn't like hiking.

She didn't like the outdoors, didn't like to fly.

But on her own,

It's a puzzle to him.

A parlor game. An LSAT problem.

And I'm here,

and I should be able to catch him,

and I can't.

And I aced the LSAT.

This is not what the law is supposed to be.

What's the law supposed to be?

I ask that in all seriousness.

Whose idea was it to take this trip to Yellowstone?

Cynthia's.

which I will mark as Exhibit 1.

"Honey, why don't we go to Yellowstone?

For our anniversary?

I've always wanted to see it.

Can we do it?

Cynthia."

Is this the e-mail that you are referring to?

Yes.

Now, you and Cynthia regularly corresponded by e-mail.

- Is that correct? - Yes.

Even for regular, day-to-day activities?

- Y-Yes. - So, for example...

"I heard the doorbell downstairs,

please leave it outside my bedroom door.

about the e-mail Cynthia sent to you

Well, uh, it is written in Comic Sans,

In fact, Mr. Covington,

the e-mail Cynthia allegedly sent you

proposing the Yellowstone trip

is highly unusual, is it not,

because that e-mail

is the only e-mail of the 1,162 e-mails

sent from Cynthia's account to you

KATE: And she never signed her name

to any e-mail she wrote to you

except for the one e-mail

in which she proposed taking the trip

- That's not true! - No?

We checked Cynthia's cell tower records,

and she was nowhere near her home computer

when this e-mail was sent.

But you were.

Isn't it true, Mr. Covington,

that you planned to murder your wife

in a place where you knew you could never be prosecuted?

No.

That you knew the only way

you could be prosecuted for the crime

was if there was evidence

you planned the crime from somewhere else.

No.

That in order to remove any doubt that you

did not plan this trip to Yellowstone

in order to murder your wife, you logged on to her computer

and e-mailed the suggestion to yourself.

But you made a mistake, didn't you?

You signed her name.

You forgot, or maybe you never even realized

and there is nothing in Mr. Garcia's record that...

Thank you, Ms. Bell.

Bond is denied.

You can call the next case.

[SIGHS] Your Honor, Mr. Garcia...

I've issued my ruling, Ms. Bell.

Mr. Garcia has a son

who will be separated from his father...

Then Mr. Garcia should've thought about that

when he crossed over the border illegally with his child.

I've issued my ruling. Bond is denied.

One more word out of you

and I will hold you in contempt, Ms. Bell.

One more word.

One more word.

Call the next case.

♪♪

I've complained to ICE, to the Secretary directly.

We can hope this won't happen again,

but we're at the end of the line now.

You can make a call...

The call has been made, Roger.

It has come in. From Washington.

This needs to be cleaned up.

They're not gonna have a standoff

- in the courthouse anymore. - [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

They're going to take the boy.

Then it won't just be the boy.

They're on their way?

Soon.

I don't understand what's happening here.

What country is this?

This is America.

This is not the America I know.

When I came here with my family,

we had nothing, and we struggled,

but we built a life here, and we were welcome here.

For years, my dad kept this little picture of Ronald Reagan

above our kitchen table, with these quotes from him.

About immigrants.

"These families came here to work.

They came to build.

They brought with them courage, ambition,

and the values of family."

That is the America I know.

I am an immigrant. I am the child of immigrants.

We were welcome here.

And today you probably wouldn't be.

This is America.

It expands and it contracts.

Advances and recedes.

Opens and closes.

This is a country birthed in freedom

and built on slavery.

Separating families?

They separated black families in America for 250 years.

What makes this feel so bad now is that we expect more.

And that's a good thing.

This pain is progress.

But do not forget who we are and where we came from.

I do not forget where I came from.

I grew up in West Baltimore,

around the corner from where Justice Marshall grew up.

This Justice Marshall.

He knew my father.

He stood in my living room.

The elementary school I went to, Mt. Royal,

I went to because of him.

I'm here because of him.

He was the grandson of a slave,

and he changed American law.

He changed the very idea of the Constitution!

He made a document

that considered him three-fifths of a man

a document of liberation.

This is the America I know.

A beacon and a curse.

Light and darkness.

Hope and despair.

This is America right now.

But America never ends.

Mr. Knox.

- This isn't what we agreed to. - What?

Mr. Boyd's gun possession not being considered

"relevant conduct" under the sentencing guidelines.

I specifically said "no" to that.

- That's not what I remember. - Yes, it is.

You're just trying to reopen the deal

by misrepresenting the conversation,

hoping you can do just a little bit better this time,

but I'm not in the mood for that,

and if you want to press me on it,

I will withdraw the offer and we will go to trial.

Do you want to press me on it?

You waited too long. The offer is withdrawn.

You want me to bring him back?

I need him as a witness.

That case is over.

The plea deal fell apart.

The plea deal fell apart. I...

I am trying this case.

I'm going to try it, and I'm going to win.

I will win.

And since Merced Garcia is a material witness,

after I win,

you can take your time sentencing Mr. Boyd,

and Merced will have to be here for as long as that takes.

It could be years,

and you can order ICE not to take Ramon

because you have determined

that it's essential to Merced's well-being

not to be separated from his son.

And it is within your supervisory powers as a Judge

to care for witnesses in this way.

Those are your indisputable, inviolable powers.

This is what I'm going to do.

It's not my case, Mr. Knox.

Then take it.

Go to Judge Reed and take it.

Because you can do that, too.
