for my Attorney General
campaign.

- What'd you find?
- A big ol' ethical violation.

I'm withdrawing
from the Attorney General race.

I was just really looking
forward to seeing you,

especially since that blizzard
messed up last weekend.

Yeah,
it's killing me, too.

Pack your stuff.
You're benched.

I love you, too.

I'm not entirely sure,
but it is...

it's the best I can do.

- What? What?

- Blowback, pure and simple.
- You think she's punishing me?

- For what?
- Of course she is.

pay overtime?Both: No.

I need to talk to you
about Diamond.

- Okay. Who now?
- Pamela Pinafore.

I think--I believe
she's being trafficked

by her so-called uncle,
who I think is really her pimp.

I didn't like my uncles
much, either.

What's your proof, counselor?

He controls her whole life.

He holds her ID,
her cell,

when I asked, she didn't even
know her own phone number,

but he jumped right in
and rattled it off for her.

Sounds like the definition
of trafficking.

What's that got to do
with her drug charge?

I think a small amount
of drugs is insignificant

in comparison
to sex trafficking.

You're gonna have to give me
something more than that, Lopez.

In exchange for the uncle,

I want a misdemeanor
straight possession.

You don't have enough evidence
to prove intent anyway.

She was caught
with only 10 grams of meth.

Well, did you talk to her?

Did she say that she'd roll
on this pimp-uncle?

No, Diamond, I know Freddie
is your pimp, not your uncle,

and you are facing jail time
because of him.

I know those were
Freddie's drugs, not yours.

I can help you.You don't know my life,

what he does,
how he protects us.

Us? Who's us?
Diamond, how many girls

does he have working
for him on the street?

I don't work.
I'm not some street whore.

Can I see your house keys,
please?

What?What about your wallet?
Is your wallet in there?

No wallet, no keys,
no cellphone.

This is about more
than just drugs, Diamond.

If he is taking you places

and forcing you
to do sex work,

that is called trafficking,
and we can get him arrested.

You're fired.
I want a new lawyer.

No, no, Diamond, please,
let me help you.

If you roll on Freddie,

I will keep my end
of the bargain.

He gets arrested,
and you get out of the life.

And he--
he's not gonna be hurt

or nothing like that, right?Diamond,
he is going to prison,

not a 5-star resort.
Why would it even matter?

He is the only one
who has ever cared for me.

Diamond, no.

about somebody looks like.

Mr. Davidson, your attorney
wants to come back tomorrow.

You agree?

Yes, Your Honor.

Then that will be the order.

- Thank you.
- No, Ms. Lopez, thank you.

You bought me an extra day.

So that's it?
You're just leaving?

- I have other clients.
- I don't really care.

I want to know what you're
doing about this one.

I do not work for you,
Ms. Lopez.

No, you're right.
You work for the scum

who's selling young women
for sex

like they are property
to be auctioned off.

It is appalling.
It is slavery.Freddie's a street pimp.

Exactly, a pimp, who could
somehow afford to hire

a rainmaker out of D.C.

I do my research.
So do I,

and you and I both know

that taking one Freddie
off the street means nothing.

There will just be another
to take his place.

[ elevator bell dings ]What do you want me to do
about that?

I want you to go
after the bastard

who is funding this entire
sex trafficking operation.

I want you to go
after the person

who keeps pimps like Freddie
in the sick business

of preying
upon the vulnerable,

and I want everyone

in the exploitation
of my client to pay.

You think
I can do all that?

No. I think

Young woman, 19, was

And you're afraid he's going

I know that it's unorthodox,

who has the power
to assign cases.

The counselors have forged
a delicate stack of deals

to bring down the entire
trafficking ring.

I'd really like to be
the one to see it through.

And I did just do you
a favor.

I want to make sure
that the record reflects

that the parties had
an off-the-record discussion

regarding plea negotiations

in Ms. Pinafore
and Mr. Davidson's matters.

It is the contemplation
of the parties

that Ms. Pinafore
will be pleading

to misdemeanor drug possession

and will receive
probation and treatment.

Mr. Davidson will plead
to pimping

and will receive three years
in prison.

Both of these offers
are in exchange

for Ms. Pinafore
and Mr. Davidson

having identified
Dr. Matthew Denton

and agreeing
to testify against him.

Mr. Denton has been arrested
and charged with trafficking

hundreds of women
over the span of four years.

I will take the pleas

of both defendants
