We have regular fire inspections.

We also found traces of an accelerant,

multiple sources of origin,
abnormal burn patterns.

All these traits are consistent

with arson, Ms. Bordelon.

I... [CLEARS THROAT]

I want to talk to you about the story

I read in your book,

the night you saw Ernest
burying something in the cane?

Before he was your Daddy,
he was my friend.

I mean, there were times me
and your Daddy walked the field.

Some nights, he wouldn't say a word.

Other nights, he did.

He told you about those white men
who attacked him at the bait shop?

Yeah. One of them actually
came out to the farm,

planning to do you harm.

Now, your Daddy fought that man
and almost killed him.

Said it was like being back in the war

doing what he had been trained to do.

But then... then there was a moment

when they're both covered
in blood and dirt,

and the man's barely conscious.

Your father heard your mother
singing to Ralph Angel.

He had woke up crying,
but it was Trudy's voice

that brought him out of the dark.

Mama had a voice clear as a bell.

Yeah. So pure and clear.

Brought him to himself.
And he ended up helping the man.

He dropped him off at the hospital,

and then he came on back to the house.

But... but I saw him digging.

What you saw was your Daddy
burying his pain, his anger.

Now, he took off them bloody
clothes and the bat he used

and anything that reminded him
of that night,

and he buried it deep.

He was hoping to forget
that he'd been trained to kill,

and he saw that it was still
in him to do it again.

He was a man of integrity, of honor.

And it's been an honor for me
to help folk, offer 'em work.

Y'all gotta know,
I would never do anything

to shame the legacy of my father.

Thank you for your heartfelt
words, Mr. Bordelon.

But in light of
Benjamin William's arrest,

we still need to conduct a
thorough review of your program.

As you can see there, Mr. Williams

has been a model citizen
during his parole.

That, plus the fact sheriff Guidry

has three open files
of possible police misconduct

casts doubt on the veracity
of this so-called bust.

Taken together,
Mr. Williams' suspicious arrest

does not reflect on the good work

and effectiveness of
Mr. Bordelon's re-entry program.

MAN: That may or may not be true,

but there's another matter
that's come to our attention.

The news says there was a fire
at Queen Sugar mill last night.

That's where you mill your cane, right?

Yes, sir, but I milled
more than two-thirds

of my harvest before the fire.

It's a minor setback, but it
doesn't affect the program.

It does if you're unable
to recuperate your losses

in time to make payroll.

How will you repay the parolees

who require 40 hours of work per week?

How will your program survive

if you can't afford to plant next season?

I mean, it wasn't a total loss.

Yeah, things might get tight
for a minute, but...

Mr. Bordelon, surely
you know we'll have to take

this new loss into consideration.

The panel will reconvene this week,

and you'll receive
our decision shortly after.
