She's not a citizen.

- But I've always...
- Voted illegally?

Yeah, where's your I.D.?

Let me show you my I.D. You know why?

'Cause I bring my I.D.
'Cause I do it legally.

Come on. And them, too,
where's their documentation?

They don't need I.D. to vote.

They're committing voter fraud.

- You need to back up!
- Oh, ho, hey.

Hey, don't leave.
You don't need to leave.

Jay, maybe we should vote another day.

- People show their I.D.s.
- There is no other day. This is the day.

Maybe we vote another year.

You're citizens. I was at the swearing-in.

- You were, too.
- Can I just ask you,

did you show your I.D.?

Oh, I can't be yelling?
All right, let me tell you this.

Voter fraud is a felony!

You vote illegally, you go to jail!

Intimidating voters is a federal crime!

Is there security around here somewhere?

There's a hotline you could try calling.

We're gonna vote. After...

Better go call the hotline.

This is Kate.

Kate, this is Jay. Jay Simmons.

I need your help.

I'm at my polling place...

Oh, wow. Word has really gotten out.

Okay. So, "no" on Question 1.

- I pref...
- No, I don't need help with my ballot.

There's a problem here
at my polling place.

What kind of problem?

Voter intimidation in New York?

New York has some of the most regressive,

voter-restrictive laws in the country...

I'm from Texas.

Can you come with me to the courthouse?

Why do you need me?

Anything not in this warrant or affidavit

I should know about, Ms. Littlejohn?

- No.
- I know you sometimes like to

squirrel away information

and then turn it over at the last minute.

No. Your Honor, those documents
are complete and accurate.

Good idea bringing him along.

Oliver, let's go.

Petrini crime family. Do you know them?

Violent and Organized Crime Unit
has been trying to build

a RICO case against the Petrini
family for two years,

getting nowhere, then, two weeks ago,

Angelo Petrini,
nephew of boss Gaetano Petrini,

walks into a field office on
23rd Street, and he is singing.

- No.
- What?

No. I know exactly what this is.

You tell me I'm working
on the Petrini case,

I look skeptical,
you convince me it's real,

we start humming the theme
from "The Godfather,"

and then I wake up, and there's
some kid in my office

telling me it's "Avatar"!
I'm not doing that again!

No!

On the other hand, if this isn't a dream,

then what I'm saying sounds
completely insane.

That is correct.

Rosen had to jump off the case,
so this is yours.

Lock down the Angelo testimony.

Personal or professional?

Professional.

Personal. I'm not actually sure.

You didn't, uh, show up the other night.

I haven't seen you in days.

I can't really talk now.

I'm sorry.

You two haven't talked?

The integrity of our entire
democracy is at risk here,

and I'm the one being arrested?

Our government should be thanking me.

I understand that's your opinion,

but intimidation of voters is
a federal crime, a serious one.

What's serious is the epidemic
of election fraud.

Don't you read FraudWars?

- I do not.
- FraudWars is where the facts are.

All those secrets the mainstream
media tries to bury?

FraudWars finds them.

Do you have any idea
how many foreign nationals

voted in the last election?

- Nineteen.
- Millions.

Only nineteen were charged, I mean.

- In the entire country.
- You see?

My point exactly.

Let's talk about your defense.

They said a lawyer was part of the deal.

Are... Are you the lawyer?

Who said a lawyer was part of what deal?

If I'm charged
with any crime in connection

with the verification of voter identity,

a lawyer will be provided,

the compensation for which
will not be reduced

from the amount otherwise due to me.

You were paid for what you were doing

this morning at the polling place?

Well, I haven't been paid yet.

You were hired to disrupt
a federal election?

That was the idea.

Democracy isn't free.

Synced & corrected by -robtor-

Four instances of voter intimidation

- in the tri-state area alone.
- And I found dozens more

all around the country
just like this one.

Same phrases. Same techniques.

Challenging people's
residency and citizenship.

- And you're saying they were paid?
- Yes.

- By whom?
- We don't know.

But if you immunize Harley,
we can help you find out.

- He'll cooperate?
- He told me he would.

How does Jay feel about that?

Jay? I have no idea.

Why?

- You were there?
- I reported the case to Kate.

- She got the warrant.
- Did Jill know this?

I guess not. You're defending him?

Well, not for very much longer!

I can't defend the guy if you're
going to be a potential witness.

Harley is going to need new counsel.

- He has new counsel.
- So you did know about this?

- Know about what?
- I was there.

He was intimidating my parents.

I didn't know that.

We just got a notice that
he substituted in new counsel.

A private firm. And a very good one.

You guys met. Good.

- A bodyguard?
- Yes.

Why do I need a bodyguard?

'Cause they're gonna try to kill you.

- Kill me?!
- Yes.

You didn't mention anything about that!

- Really?
- I-Is that why Rosen isn't on the case?

Well, Rosen has a kid and a wife.

He has a lot to live for.

You'll probably be fine, though. Right?

Sure.

I need to talk to you.

Listen.

I told her.

That I know about her and Roger.

You told me not to, but I did.

I didn't tell you not to.
I told you I wouldn't.

Well, I did.

Because what she's doing is wrong

and I think she needs to end it.

Okay. You don't have to convince me.

You got me the swatting report.
I just thought you should know.

Jill's been good to me.

Really good to me when I needed it.

I'm not neutral on Jill.

But I'm not neutral on you, either.

Which I think you know.

If you believe this
is the right thing to do,

then I'm with you.

Chief of the Criminal Division
and the Federal Public Defender.

I can see why you're here.

Is there any way around this, Judge?

Not if you want to keep your jobs.

Look, if you were a client in your office

and you found this out,
how would you feel?

What would you think?

If we lived in a different time,
I might answer differently.

But we're all that's left now.

This. Us.

An independent judicial system.

We're the last fortification
against tyranny,

and it's not the marble around
here that's gonna protect us.

It's our integrity.

In the eyes of others.

That's all we have.

I'm sorry, Jill.

Hey. How's it going?

Really bizarre day.

- Who are you?
- Oh, Jay, this is Gabe.

He's gonna be staying with us
for a while.

- What?
- I have a case in which

I could be killed.

- You could be, too.
- Are you serious?

I don't know. Could he?

Sure.

Hey!

What the hell?! That was my dinner!

It smelled like poison.

See. He's here for both of us.

Good night, Jay!

Good night, Gabe.

- Why does he have a new lawyer?
- Because whoever is paying him

to disrupt this election
wants to control his defense

so he doesn't talk.

Look, this isn't our case anymore,

so I can express an opinion here.

I hope you guys pursue this.

- Plus one.
- Oh, we will.

We can still bring the weight
of the government down on him.

I'm not sure how much putting
pressure on him will even help.

- Harley's the key.
- Or maybe this new lawyer is.

- Why do you say that?
- How much does Harley even know

about this whole operation?
I'm guessing he's a stooge.

Based on my time with him,
I think that's a good guess.

But if we figure out
who this new lawyer is,

we might be able to unravel this.

That might have given us a gift here.

Okay. So who is this new lawyer?

Bob Dickerson. Sorry I'm late.

He's a partner at Walsh Gates,
where he represents

multiple high-ranking
government officials who serve

on the Board of the Alliance
for American Advancement,

a "pro-business" advocacy group
that was responsible

for paying Harley Kemp
to harass my parents.

I was up all night 'cause
Seth's bodyguard was snoring,

but I found the time
unusually productive.

- Oh, so gross.
- Can you run through this again?

Okay, the Alliance
for American Advancement claims

to be a responsible non-profit
which raises money

for "issue advocacy."

Deregulation, tax cuts,
that sort of thing.

But, in fact, it's a front
for voter suppression

that uses well-connected lawyers

and a series of artfully named
shell companies...

VoteSafe, the Voter Sanctity Project,

the Voter Justice League...

to pay people like Harley
to intimidate voters.

These companies fund lawsuits

to purge legitimate voters from the rolls

and media campaigns to scare voters.

People of color. Poor people.

Brand-new citizens.
People like my mom and dad.

So who do we go after?

Who's running the Alliance?

Thorne Spiller.
I did a little digging, too.

Spiller started off
as a political operative.

Smear campaigns. Dirty tricks.

Then he graduated to corporate espionage.

Now suppression of votes.

So Spiller runs the Alliance,

which uses shell companies
to pay the Harleys.

What do we charge Spiller with?

We can't get him on
voter intimidation directly...

and even if we could,
that wouldn't be enough

to bring down an elaborate
operation like this.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Unlikely.

RICO?

Yes, the same racketeering statute

they use to take down the mob

can be used to take down
a voter-suppression cabal.

Spiller told donors to the Alliance

that their money
would be used for one thing,

but it was used for another.

Any funds they sent anywhere
at that point were fraudulent.

Which means RICO laws apply.

Which has never been tried
in this context.

Well, we're not trying it now.

We know it's uphill...

You don't know the half of it.

All voting cases
are supposed to be prosecuted

by the Justice Department.

All of them. You know that.

This warrant shouldn't
ever have come through

this office in the first place.

These charges shouldn't have been filed.

Well, this is where we are now.

And now we're getting out.

This is political treason.

If we can't do this,
what are we doing here?

You see this chair, Roger?

This chair belonged
to Henry Lawrence Burnett.

He held my job in the early 1900s.

After fighting in the Civil War

and prosecuting the conspiracy
to assassinate Lincoln.

The Attorney General himself
got it out of storage for me

when I was first sworn in.

Nice gesture, right?

No. It wasn't a gesture at all.

It was a warning that the chair
lives longer than I do.

That I can be out of this job
faster than it stops spinning.

You're asking me to approve an uphill,

untested, untried prosecution

against the people
who own all the chairs.

The board of this organization?

And what it represents?

It's everything this
administration stands for.

I'm gonna take that on for
a prosecution we can't even win?

No.

I'm not ready to give up this chair.

It's not my time yet.
It's not yours, either.

Plead out Kemp and bury the Spiller case.

I'm sorry.

I want to review some of the testimony

you gave to Mr. Rosen, okay?

On April 8th, FBI surveillance
picked up an incoming call

to your cellphone from Salvatore Parisi.

If you say so.

In that call, Mr. Parisi said,

"I need you to clean up
that dirt Little Matty spilled.

Come by and pick up the tools."

That's what that paper says, I guess.

When you met with Mr. Parisi,

he further clarified what he meant?

Did he?

You said he gave you the "tool,"

which was then passed on
to Giancarlo Cabrizzi

and used in the murder of Hector Cruz.

Is that correct?

No, no, not at all. What happened was...

Sal just wanted me to help him
in the garden.

See, Sal, he's got a real
green thumb, but his kid,

Little Matty, total friggin' klutz.

So I go over there, and then
Sal gave me one of those,

uh... you know...

- The thing.
- A planter?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, uh, one of the...

- A shovel.
- Right, right,

but one of those little baby ones,

and then, uh, I was supposed to
put a thing in it.

- A...
- Plant.

This is all wildly contradictory
to your previous statements.

I was really stressed.

Things weren't going so good
for me at work.

You know how that goes.

You're no longer cooperating
with the government?

In that case,

you will likely spend
the rest of your life in jail.

But I will be alive.

There's a reason why Rosen
left this case.

Follow him.

Because they will kill you
to kill this case.

Personal or professional?

Professional.

- Spiller.
- We can't talk about that.

I took it as far as I could.

Personal.

Sandra knows about us.

This doesn't have to be a problem.

It is, though. You know it is.

We haven't done anything wrong.

We don't talk about work.

We just proved it.

We're not even talking about
work right now...

Is that good? I-I don't even know.

This whole situation
is totally messed up.

You know that.

We are compromised in ways
we don't even understand.

We don't know what we can talk
about and what we can't

or how the things that are
unsaid impact what we do.

Or don't do.

- If this comes out...
- What are you saying?

You know what I'm saying.

- There's an answer here.
- The only answer

is for one of us to give up our jobs.

And that is not an answer.

We had fun. We hid. We got caught.

That's not what this was.

No, it wasn't.

But it can't be anything else.

Jill...

You're late.

Um, it's 1:15 a.m.

Well, if we're gonna give up
everything for this job,

then what we do ought to be worth it.

I want you to bring me everything we have

on Spiller and voter suppression.

We're taking this
son of a bitch to trial.

Mr. Knox. Ms. Littlejohn.

We're ready when you are.

We need to show fraud.

That the money spent on voter suppression

was raised for other purposes.
Who do we have?

My firm was contracted to do fundraising

for the Alliance for over four years.

When you raised these funds,
how would you do it?

I would visit corporate leaders and CEOs,

generally in person,
and explain how their money

would be used to advocate issues.

Issues such as...

Corporate tax cuts, deregulation.

Did those issues
include voter suppression?

Did I ask for donations to break the law?

Never. Not once.

We need to show intent.

That Spiller knew laws were being broken.

I've been on the
Alliance's board for five years.

And you've given money
to the Alliance, Ms. Denman?

- I have.
- Were you aware

that much of the money you gave

for the purpose of business advocacy

was actually being used
for voter suppression?

No, but in retrospect,
I should have been.

- Can you explain?
- Mr. Spiller told me

he had "ways and means"

of defeating anti-corporate candidates.

Did he describe these "ways and means"?

When I expressed concern over
a close Congressional race,

he told me not to worry.

He said, "Our people on the
ground will take care of it."

We need to show harm.

That the money Spiller raised
was actually being used

on the ground to stop people from voting.

We lost Harley. He won't cooperate.

Well, then, we need to make him
cooperate. Release the hounds.

Thank you, Your Honor.
In addition to a pending charge

for voter intimidation,
the government expects to file

14 new charges against Mr. Kemp

related to an illegal tax scheme

involving Mr. Kemp and his sister.

This investigation is ongoing,
and there may still be

additional counts forthcoming.

Of course, as always,
we are happy to discuss

a comprehensive cooperation
agreement with Mr. Kemp.

I was paid $4,000 to challenge voters.

Were you told specifically
how to challenge them?

Yeah, we had training.

How to single out an illegal

or someone who looked like they
were gonna be fraudulent.

How to single "an illegal" out
and do what?

To get them not to vote.

I think we have this.

- Well done.
- We don't have it. Not yet.

Anyone ever tell you you're
terrible with compliments?

That wasn't a compliment.

It was premature self-congratulation.

- Terrible.
- We analyzed some spreadsheets.

We connected some dots and lines.

We broke down tactics, but
we didn't show a real victim,

and we're not gonna win
the jury without one.

You taught me that.

- She's right.
- I know she's right.

- I'm just not sure what to do.
- I know what to do.

You taught me this, too.

These guys will never flip.

They'll never turn on their family.

Family? What family?
They all hate each other.

What kind of family kills each other?

Polar bears.

I'm just talking to myself here.

Sand tiger sharks.

Female wolf spiders eat male
spiders during copulation...

You know what? That is really...

helpful.

Thank you for sitting down with me.

You picked me up in the produce aisle.

I really didn't have a choice.

I'm Seth Oliver.

Seth Benjamin Oliver. Two older sisters.

Law school at the University of Michigan,

and then onto a mid-tier firm.

Not entirely accurate.

How's your mom, Miriam?

Is that, like, a threat?

You people have been harassing
my family for months.

It's only fair I know a little about you.

Now, listen, Ben...

- Seth.
- You entrapped my husband.

You squeezed some lies out of him.

He strung you along for a little
bit, but now he's done talking.

Angelo ain't perfect,
but he's a provider,

and he cares for his family,

and he has always been loyal to us.

Are you kidding?

Karen ain't no innocent bystander.

We'd run the poker game
in the back of her salon.

She handled the rake, ran the
money through the salon's books

so it came out clean.

I'm sorry.

That can't feel great to hear.

That your husband was willing to
give you up to save himself.

There is no reason for you to go down

for people who don't
really care about you.

You don't care about me, either.

And those people? They're my family.

And I'm not a snitch.

So I'll stick with the devil I know.

We need to talk.

Okay.

Yes.

Not here.

Where did you go to college, again?

Berkeley.

Did you take philosophy?

I was a history major.

One of the fundamental laws of logic

is the law of non-contradiction.

Two contradictory statements
cannot both be true.

I am the Federal Public Defender.

I am in a relationship with the
Chief of the Criminal Division

of the U.S. Attorney's Office.

You were right.

Those two things cannot both be true.

And yet they are.

They were.

You're young, Sandra.

You have to trust that I know
some things you don't.

And one of those things is that
life doesn't follow axioms.

There's no bright-line ethical standard.

There are people who do
everything by the book

and are deeply immoral.

There are those who break
all kinds of rules

who are compassionate
and decent and good.

That's true here in the work we do,

and it's true in the world.

It is complicated.

You asked me who I am?

I am this.

I...

This body.

This person.

We are not our jobs, Sandra.

I know it may feel that way
to you now, but eventually,

even if you never want anything more,

you will realize you need something more.

You are a lawyer.

You are the most talented lawyer
I've ever seen in my life.

You are a lawyer. That is who you are.

But that is not all you are.

Can you please state your name
for the record?

Vera Simmons.

Is this your first time
testifying in court,

- Ms. Simmons?
- Yes.

Are you nervous?

Very.

I understand.

I'm gonna ask you a few questions,

and you just need to answer
truthfully, okay?

Yes.

I want to draw your attention
to election day.

Yes.

Did you vote?

No.

Why not?

There was a man there

who told us that we were
voting illegally.

That we needed documentation.

Is the man in this photo,

which is marked as Government Exhibit 38,

the man who was at the polling place?

Yes.

When he asked you for
documentation, what did you do?

I l-left.

I went home. I was scared.

How long have you been

a United States citizen, Ms. Simmons?

Seventeen months and two weeks.

This would have been
your first vote in this country?

This would have been
my first vote anywhere.

You never voted in Syria?

I went to the polls one time.

I was 23. I had a newborn.

A boy.

It was a two-hour bus ride from our home.

I wore nice clothes.

I heard that was what
you were supposed to do.

I might have seen that
on American television.

I waited in line for three hours,

and then I opened my ballot...

and there was only one candidate.

One.

I wept.

I remember looking at the face
of my son, and I wept.

A vote is a choice between two things.

I did not vote that day.

I still have never voted.

Gabe?

What are you doing?

Is that a shoe?

Why are you looking at those files?

I had to use the bathroom,

and I just saw this stuff on my way out.

I was curious how things are going.

How is it going?

You gonna make another run at Karen?

I... can't talk about the case.

Of course you can't.

I'm gonna post up out here.

Okay.

The Petrinis are very dangerous people,

capable of heinous things.

I can feel you're getting close.

Oh, thank God!

Gaetano Petrini would like to say hello.

No.

Dude, drama, drama, drama.

So much drama with you.

You saved my life.

In your dreams.

Is this a dream?

You think I'd do this in real life?

I might.

I would. We're family.

Now get up. You've got to talk to Karen.

You're really desperate.

Yes, I am.

I am desperate.

Look, Karen.

I don't know the Petrini family.

I know their names.
I know what they look like.

I know what crimes they've committed.

I know I want to take them down.

But I don't know them like you know them.

Like a family.

This is your family.

I'm not gonna try and convince
you to turn on people you love

by telling you all
the bad things they've done.

You know.

I just want to ask what you think

they would do in your situation.

Would they be as loyal to you
as you are to them?

Are you sure?

Was Angelo?

I don't know the Petrinis,

but I do know that family...

sticks with you no matter what.

Family would take a bullet for you,

and they know you'd do the same for them.

Do you really feel that way
about these people?

Are you willing to risk your
son's future on their word?

If so, go with God.

If not, I'm offering you a way out.

The choice is yours.

I don't know.

Then let's keep talking.

In a few hours, you're going
to go through that door,

you're going to sit down together,

you're going to
sort through the evidence,

you're going to listen to each other,

you're going to argue... you will...

and then you're gonna do

what humans have done throughout history

to make difficult
and important decisions.

You are going to vote.

We are here so that you can vote.

Our entire system of justice
is built on this.

Your vote.

So, now, imagine,

you go back into that room,
and someone comes in and says,

"Wait, no. Not you.

No. No. No. No.

No. You can't vote.

He votes.

And him. And him.

And that's it.

That is this case.

Mr. Spiller created
a sophisticated operation

to deprive Americans
of their existential right

to participate in self-government.

It is flagrantly undemocratic,
but what is so pernicious

and insidious about this
operation is that it pretends

to preserve the democratic
government it undermines.

"Oh, we're just rooting out 'fraud.'

We're just trying to 'protect' the vote.

We care about the 'integrity'
of the election."

These are lies.

And these are dangerous lies,
because the greatest threat

to democracy is making it meaningless.

Hollow.

Dysfunctional.

If you live in an authoritarian
government...

and some of you have, I'm sure...

there is always the promise of democracy.

There is hope.

But if appears to be a democracy

and it doesn't work...

what is there left to hope for?

There is here, now,
something left to hope for.

Democracy isn't one story.
It is our story.

Of coming together.

Of building and progress.

Of unity and participation
and representation.

It is a story.

That starts with one person

on one day in one line pulling one lever.

An ink-stained thumb. A red pinky.

A paper ticket in a plastic bucket.

An X. A number. A digit.

A pencil mark. A raised hand.

A voice. A vote.

A choice.

A choice between two things.

And this choice today is yours.

You can continue to tell
this story... our story...

or you can help end it.

I understand the jury has
reached a unanimous verdict.

Yes, Your Honor.

In the matter of United States
v. Spiller on Count One,

Racketeering, how do you
find the defendant,

guilty or not guilty?

Guilty.

The chair is yours.

We won.

This isn't a win to them.
This is an insurrection.

We are the sovereign district,

and Washington has never liked that,

but they have lived with it.

They are not gonna live with this.

This was a direct assault on their power.

Someone has to pay.

Then someone will.

I have 30 days.

No. Not you.

What are you doing here?

I came to see you.

Personal or professional?

- Personal.
- You shouldn't be here.

They offered me Acting U.S. Attorney.

What are you talking about?

Washington didn't like the Spiller case.

They want Delap out.

And what did you say?

I said I was honored.

I said, uh, this is the job
I've wanted my whole life.

I said I love this office
and everything it represents...

...but I love the woman
across the street even more.

- Roger...
- I actually didn't say the last part.

They would have thought that was weird.

Roger.

I quit, Jill.

I quit.

- You didn't.
- I did.

And I know you're thinking,

"I didn't want you to quit your job.

I don't want that responsibility."

I know you're thinking this.

But it's not your responsibility.

It's mine.

And I don't care if this
all falls apart tomorrow.

I really don't.

We are here now,

and I want five minutes with you

more than I want that chair.

We're taking the party down to Tiny's.

- You coming?
- Yes.

You?

- Yes, of course.
- Of course?

something like this.

13 after-work drinks.

4 trivia nights. 2 softball games.

One darts tournament.

- We won.
- Against who?

Sandra.

Never at work.

Never.

That's a lot of rules.

Well, I am a lawyer.
