[door closes]

Whoa. Pat, help your brother
with that tackle box.

Shotgun!

Nuh-uh.
You had it last time.

So? I called it.
And I'm the oldest.

Uh, Dad, you're still
wearing your badge.

I don't think the fish
will be impressed.

Very funny,
wise guy.

Everyone buckled?

Buckled.

- Me, too.
- All right, then.

[car alarm blaring]

[dog barking]

WOMAN: The beauty of this
bracelet is it can be casual.

You could wear it
for an elegant evening out.

Just look at this.

- Unbelievable, the detail.
- WOMAN 2: Mm.

Just so beautiful.

- WOMAN 2: Right here.
- WOMAN: Yep.

Just beautiful, and look
how beautiful it looks layered.

Can you get a close-up on it?

- MAN: Freeze! FBI! Don't move!
- [child wails]

- [crying] - Stay where you are!
Stay where you are!

Do not move!

WOMAN: Please, I-I need
you to tell me where my son is.

And I need to go home.

MAN: Well, then just answer
the question, Mrs. Doherty.

Where is your
husband?

I told you,
I don't know where he is.

I can only tell you
where he was.

He-he was at dinner
with his cousin.

He was gonna
ask about a job.

When was the last time
you spoke with him?

Earlier this evening.

I really need you to tell me
where my son is

and that he's okay.

Does the name Jackson Miller
mean anything to you?

He's the Special Agent in Charge
of the New York Division

of the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco,

Firearms and Explosives.

He was murdered

a few hours ago,
along with his two little boys.

Car bomb.

You know anything
about that, Alicia?

No, of course not.

Did your husband ever talk
about making bombs,

Mrs. Doherty?

No.Is he a member
of a group

called
the '76 Righteous Crusaders?

I've never heard that name.

What about the
Old World Army?

No. What are those?

T-Teams? Clubs?
Did he ever talk about wanting

to hurt federal law enforcement?

Ever threaten
to hurt anyone?

I need to see my son.

I need to see Max.

[door opens]

Hi, Mrs. Doherty.
I'm Special Agent Easley.

I've been watching
and listening

to you from
the other room.

Now, I know you want
to get out of here.

I know you want to see your
little boy, and I really want

- to make that happen.
- Okay.

Here's my problem.

You know this building?

Yeah.

You have a storage unit
in this building,

don't you, Mrs. Doherty?

Yeah.

This your storage unit?

I-I think so.

It...
it looks like it.

I... I haven't been there
in a long time.

It's the same number.

Hmm. NYPD went in there with
a search warrant, all right?

Took them 20 minutes to take off
all these locks here.

This is what they found.

See that?

Got enough firepower in there
to take out half of Woodside.

I've never seen
any of this before.

Where's your husband,
Mrs. Doherty?

[crying]:
I don't know!

BENNY:
Got a U.S. senator on here.

The heads of the
New York division

of both the FBI and
Homeland Security.

You're looking
at Adam Doherty's hit list?

[sighs]:
Oh, yeah.

Almost a dozen names.

He was convinced
the federal government

was out to murder
its own citizens.

Said he wanted
to "return the country

to the purity of its founding."

I hate to say it, but the more
I learn about this guy,

the happier I am he died

in that police
shoot-out.

How do you feel
about representing his wife?

Well, let's not pretend
we have a choice here.

When the Federal Defenders
Office calls,

they're not asking.

Adam made me get
the storage unit.

He said
we had too much stuff.

So you rented the unit.

Did you know
about the weapons?

No. Right after I rented it,
Adam took the keys.

He said he didn't want me
to lose them.

The one time
I asked for them back...

I wanted to hang on
to some of Max's baby things,

even though
he'd outgrown them...

Adam, he...

What?

He choked me...

and knocked me down
to the floor...

in front of my son.

Did you help your husband
murder that ATF agent

and his two little boys?

Did he force you
to help him?

Did you do it to...

protect yourself
and your son?

I would never...

I could never hurt anyone.

And Adam knew that.

And I need you
to believe me.

I had no idea
what Adam was planning.

I swear.

Look, Alicia,
according to the FBI,

your DNA was all over
those homemade detonators

they found in
the storage unit.

Adam had me buy him circuit
boards and electrical tape.

He... he said he was gonna do
freelance computer repairs.

I had no idea

he was using that stuff
to make bombs.

BULL: Okay, but why are

the antigovernment militias
and hate groups

that Adam mentions
in his manifesto

on your computer's
search history?

ALICIA: Have you ever
been around someone

who believes something
so hard you...

you start to think maybe
you'rethe one who's crazy?

Adam would talk about the ATF
stealing people's guns

to kill kids with.

And, I mean, in my mind
I knew it was nuts,

but he was so certain,
and so sometimes I...

I would google what he said

to see if maybe it was real.

The websites that came up,
they...

they were crazier than
he was.

So why not tell
the FBI any of that?

I mean, they questioned you
for hours that night,

and all you did
was lie about Adam,

about his beliefs,
about everything.

Why?

I didn't know he was dead.

I figured I still had
to live with the man.

M-My son still had to live
with the man.

[Alicia sniffles]

Did they tell you
where he is?

My son?

'Cause they won't tell me.

Yes. He's been placed
with a foster family,

pending the outcome
of your trial.

I have to see him.

C-Can you make them
let me see him?

We'll ask, but,

uh, you shouldn't get
your hopes up, Mrs. Doherty.

- In cases like this...
- If you can't get me to see him,

will you let
whoever he's with now know

that he needs a night-light?

He can't sleep
without a night-light.

A-And, then,
even with a night-light,

sometimes you
just have to hold him

while you watch television.

And that-that will get him
to sleep, too.

Night-light, television.

We'll tell them.

Okay, Mrs. Doherty...

I'm sorry,
I...

[sighs]

I've forgotten your names.

I'm Dr. Bull.
This is Mr. Colón.

Bull. Colón.

A doctor of lies.

A perfume man.

Nice
to meet you.

And thank you...

for your help.

Episode Title: "The Head of the Goat"
Aired on: January 25, 2021

[knocking]

Hey!

Are we interrupting anything?

I was over
at A.D.A. Kiehl's office,

and we were talking
about you and the campaign,

and we were gonna call,
and we realized

- you're seven blocks away,
so we walked. - Benny.

No, no, come on in.
Come on in.

KIEHL:
First and foremost,

thanks for sending
your sister my way.

She's got a hell of a Rolodex,

and that is gonna come in
very handy

when it comes time to do
some fundraising.

Well, Izzy's my name,
and arm-twisting's my game.

So, you ready to have
a tough conversation?

What do you mean?
What kind of tough conversation?

[sighs]:
You need to know...

not everybody
at the prosecutor's office

is exactly thrilled
about your new client.

Oh. And why is that?

Well,

there's a lot of people
that work over there...

Yours truly included...
That want to endorse you.

- And?
- And a lot

of those people
are gonna have trouble

speaking up for a guy
who's defending a terrorist.

Particularly
when that guy

is running to be the
city's top prosecutor.

"Miss Ammunition," huh?

Benny, I'm on your side.

You were my idea.

You know, maybe one of us
can talk to Jason

and just see
if you can sit this one out,

have him put Chunk on it.

No, no, no, no, no.
I'm not doing that.

It's a really,
really tough case.

This girl is in a hell of a jam.

She's a kid, a victim of abuse.

Lied to authorities.

It's her word
against the government.

How can I walk away from that?

And you know she's innocent?

I have no clue.

I just know she needs me.

I can't stop doing the job
I have now

just because
I want a new one.

And hopefully,
the voters will understand that,

and if they don't,
then maybe I'm not their guy.

Well, it's
not actually the voters

I'm worried about
at the moment.

We're asking people
to write some big checks,

volunteer their time, and we're
already getting some pushback

with these headlines.

I don't know
what to tell you.

Why don't we
just take a breath.

There's a long way till April,

there's a long way
till Election Day,

and we even have some time
before I have to do

any...
real arm-twisting.

Actually, we don't.

These next couple of weeks are
about endorsements and money.

One gets you the other,
and right now we have neither.

Well, you have my word
that when the time comes,

I will get you
all the money you need.

But for now,
let's let the defender defend.

I mean, who knows,

maybe this whole...

innocent-till-proven-guilty
thing will catch on.

And would you go so far
as to say

that Mrs. Doherty
hindered your investigation?

Absolutely.

She repeatedly made
false or misleading statements

on the night of the bombing

about her husband's
whereabouts, beliefs, behaviors.

She withheld information,
even though we warned her

doing so could be putting
innocent lives at risk.

And when you informed
Mrs. Doherty

that her husband had been killed
exchanging gunfire with police,

what was her reaction?

Uh, she burst into tears.

Completely inconsolable
for a good ten minutes or so.

I guess that's to be expected
from a grieving widow

who loved and supported
her husband.

Objection! Counsel is testifying.

Sustained.

The jury will disregard
the A.U.S.A.'s assertion.

YOUNG: Agent Easley, other than

the DNA and computer forensics
you've detailed so far,

is there further evidence
that Mrs. Doherty

knew of her husband's plansand
assisted in their execution?

Yes. We actually have video

of Mr. and Mrs. Dohertyvisiting

and surveilling the scene of
thecrime a week before the bombing.

Objection, Your Honor!

The defense has not heard
of this video,

and it certainly hasn't
been authenticated, either.

This is a clear violation
of the rules of discovery.

Your Honor,
the FBI was finally able

to decrypt Adam Doherty's phone
late last night.

There was no time
to turn it over

before Agent Easley
took the stand.

But I know he can testify
to the phone's chain of custody

and authenticate the video.

I'm gonna take you at your word,
Ms. Young, and allow it.

Adam, look, it's Daddy!

Oh, now's your big chance.
Are we gonna do it for Daddy?

Can you show him?

Adam, are you getting it?

[chuckles]:
Adam, babe, are you getting it?

ADAM:
Oh, yeah. Don't worry.

I got it all right.

I thought
he was filming Max.

I-I was talking about Max.

He was doing a backwards roll
like in his baby gym class.

Agent Easley.

[sucks teeth]

We all saw your video
and we all heard your video.

And I got to tell you, I'm not
sure I heard what you heard,

and I'm certainly not sure
I saw what you saw.

Well, it is what it is.

Actually, I'm not
so sure about that.

I mean, yes,
Adam was photographing the home

of the ATF agent
he ultimately killed.

The home, the car...
No doubt about that.

But isn't it possible
that Mrs. Doherty had no idea

what he was actually filming?

Isn't it possible that when
she said, "Are you getting it?"

she was actually referring
to the backward roll

her three-year-old son was doing
to impress his father?

Objection, Your Honor.
Calls for speculation.

BENNY: I beg to
differ, Your Honor.

My question requires
no more speculation

than the AUSA's assertion
that this video

somehow shows my client
casing a crime scene.

Mr. Colón has a point.

The witness
will answer the question.

I suppose it's possible.

Isn't it also possible that...
[inhales, sighs]

Alicia Doherty, uh,

thought she was just spending
a beautiful day

at the park with her family?

Isn't it possible
that she had no idea

what her husband was up to,

that he was simply using her
and their child

as pawns in his depraved game?

I suppose anything is possible.

Anything's possible.

Thank you. No further questions,
Your Honor.

Your Honor, may I be
heard on redirect?

Go ahead. Agent Easley,

how far is that park
from the Doherty apartment?

It's 45 minutes.
Two subway rides.

Are there any closer parks
for a family outing,

if that was indeed
what Mrs. Doherty thought was going on?

Dozens. Which is why
I'm all but certain

Alicia Doherty went
to that specific park

for one reason
and one reason only:

To help her husband plan
a terrorist attack.

[quiet murmuring]

YOUNG: How long
had your late husband

been an
ATF agent, Mrs. Miller?

21 years.

And how old were
your little boys?

Patrick was 12.

Teddy was ten.

MARISSA:
Wow. Even with no mirror jurors,

I can tell you from here
they're all red.

Not a one of 'em on our side.

[quietly]:
Marissa,

your job is to tell me
what I don'tknow.

Now, tell me about the day
it happened.

The day you lost your husband
and your children.

Jack was late

coming home from work.

And the boys were...
[chuckles softly]

the boys were stir-crazy,

between school at home and not
getting to see their friends.

So when...

When Jack took them...

I was relieved.

Of course,
now I-I wish...

I wish I would have
never let them out the door.

[sniffles]

Uh...

I had just turned on
the computer,

and there was...
this flash.

It lit up
the whole house.

The front windows
shattering.

The SUV blowing apart.

And what I realize now
was probably screaming.

Then I ran outside,

and there was just this heat.

A wall of fire and smoke.

And that smell.

And I knew
that that smell was my babies.

[sniffles]

IZZY:
Jason?

Try to contain your happiness,
but... [sighs]

I have a feeling this whole
"Benny for D.A." thing

is gonna go away.

Did you say something
or was I dreaming?

I said I think this whole
"Benny for D.A." thing

is just gonna evaporate.

Okay.

Well, can you
help me out here?

Do you want me
to cry or...

throw a party?

I just want to
make you happy.

[sighs]

I learned something today

in my new, voluntary
campaign finance job.

Oh, gosh.

I'm... all ears.

Which actually isn't a very
attractive look, but...

Endorsements
beget contributions,

and contributions
beget endorsements.

It's symbiotic.

Everybody wants to back
a winner.

You know,
the electorate sees

that someone gets
an endorsement,

they want to contribute.

If the press,

opinion makers,
fellow politicians see

that someone's raking in
the finance money,

then they are happy
to endorse.

Please don't take
this the wrong way,

but I'm not sure that
was worth waking up for.

No, I'm not done.

Nobody wants to endorse
or contribute

to someone
who defends a woman

who may very well have aided
and abetted an anarchist

that killed three people,

two of them children.

I don't know
what to tell you.

We're already
into the trial.

I mean, even if I wanted
to make a change...

Throw Chunk in
there, maybe...

I think
the damage is done.

That's all
you got for me?

No.

[grunts]

Do you mind if I share
some words of wisdom

from this really beautiful
Puerto Rican woman

I used to date,
then married, then divorced,

then we had a child together but
I plan on marrying her again?

I knew you were keeping secrets
from me.

She always used to say...

And did I mention that she had
this really successful company

that she sold for
millions of dollars?

Something called
a lifestyle company.

Which is essentially
a fancy way of saying

that she would
sell people products

they neverwould have
thought that they needed,

but she convinced them
that they weren't products...

They were essentials,

essentials they had to have.

Otherwise, their lives
were completely meaningless.

Are you making fun of me?

Of my work?

She said...

every setback,

every potential disaster,

every product that hasn't been
successfully sold

by some maverick maven

is an opportunity.

A roll of brown toilet paper
is a very off-putting idea

until you show people
how chic it can be

in a bathroom fitted
with gold fixtures.

This isn't gonna work.

Quoting me to me?

That's just another form
of marketing.

You're trying to...

compliment me
out of my misery.

But, Izzy,

take a step back.

What your brother's doing
is a very noble thing,

and you know that.

He believes in
the justice system.

He believes everybody
deserves their day in court.

There's got to be some way
to turn that into a positive,

particularly for somebody
running for D.A.

Hmm.

Should I give you the... digits

of that beautiful Puerto Rican
girl I used to date?

Oh. Roll over.

Go back to sleep.
[grunts]

Okay.

But only because
you're making me.

[grunts]

RENFROW:
We had my daughter Grace's

birthday party at this tots gym
a few months back.

Gracie was so excited
that Alicia brought Max.

She just adores him.

And the kids were having
a great time.

That is,
until Max's dad showed up.

You mean Adam Doherty?

Yeah. That's who I mean.

And what happened after
Mr. Doherty showed up to the party?

He just...

went off on his wife.

On Alicia.

He started
calling her words

that you should never use
in front of children.

Words you should never use
at all.

A lot of the kids were crying,
and it was ugly.

BENNY: And do you recall,
Mrs. Renfrow,

what, uh, Mr. Doherty
was so angry about?

It was something
about the car.

He was mad that Alicia
had driven to the party.

Apparently, he had arranged
to sell the car that day,

and when the buyer came
to get it, it wasn't there.

Only Alicia didn't know that
because he never told her.

Uh... [scoffs]

So, let me get this straight.

Mr. Doherty was going to sell
the family's only car

and didn't tell his wife?

That's the way I heard it.

And when Alicia tried
to remind him of that

to defend herself, he said
of course he didn't tell her,

because she's too stupid
to tell stuff to.

Objection, Your Honor.
Hearsay.

I beg to differ,
Your Honor.

The witness is testifying
to what was said

in what was
a very public display of temper.

She's not testifying
as to the veracity

of the events themselves,
only that they were

spoken about loudly in front
of many adults and children.

Overruled.

"Too stupid to tell stuff to."

So let me ask you,
Mrs. Renfrow,

does that sound like someone
who would trust their wife

- to help them plan
a terrorist attack? - Objection.

Calls for speculation,
relevance, no foundation.

The list goes on, Your Honor.

Sustained. Watch it, Mr. Colón.

Forgive me, Your Honor.

I have no further questions.

Mrs. Renfrow,
do you know a woman

by the name of Hannah Hinson?

Sure. She's my best friend
at the office.

Did you ever discuss the
defendant with your colleague?

Once, yes.

YOUNG: And what was the nature
of this discussion?

W-Well, I needed some advice.

I mean, Alicia had asked me
a pretty big favor,

and I wasn't sure
how to respond.

What was the favor?

She asked if I would
look after Max

if anything
ever happened to her.

Objection. Hearsay.

No, it is not hearsay
because it's not being offered

for the truth
in the matter discussed,

but as evidence
of Alicia Doherty's mental

and emotional state at the time.

I'm going to allow it.

You may continue,
Ms. Young.

And when did Mrs. Doherty
make this request, Mrs. Renfrow?

Sometime in early November,
I think.

Early November.

Well, that's just
before Adam Doherty

murdered Agent Miller
and his little boys.

Sounds to me like Alicia
knew what was coming.

Sounds to me
like she was making plans

in case she got caught
in the fallout.

BENNY:
Objection.

Counsel is testifying,
inflammatory.

It's not true, I swear.

HANCOCK:
Objection sustained.

The jury will disregard

Ms. Young's
assertions.

MARISSA:
Oh, my.

Is this going as badly
as it sounds?

No.

It's worse.

It had been a bad few days,
so I promised Max

we could do something fun.

And I always used
to love making

those snowflakes
when I was a kid.

You-you know, the ones
where you fold the paper

and you cut-cut out
the pieces?

But I-I couldn't
find the scissors,

so I started looking in
Adam's desk, and that...

that was a no-no.

No one was supposed
to go near Adam's desk.

So I'm looking...

and all of a sudden
I feel something

pressed against my head...

and it's Adam's gun.

And he cocks it

and he tells me that
if I ever touch his stuff again,

he'll end me.

And I looked over and Max
was standing in the doorway.

And he wasn't crying anymore,
he was just staring at us,

at his dad and his mom
and the gun.

[sniffles]

And that's why I asked
Mrs. Renfrow

if she would
look after Max.

I was just scared.

Adam had been acting
really extreme lately.

A-And I... I don't know,

maybe I should have known
that he was up to something,

- but I just...
- Okay.

I'm gonna stop you
right there, Alicia.

Don't second-guess yourself.

Don't say things like
"I should have known."

I don't understand.

When you apologize
or editorialize,

you're giving the prosecutor
fuel for her cross-examination.

"How could you not know
what your husband was up to?

You're his wife."
Does that make sense?

Yeah, I guess so.

Okay. I know

it's been a long day,
I know you're tired.

But this is our last chance

to prepare you
for your testimony tomorrow.

And what I'd like to do
is have Mr. Palmer here pretend

to be the A.U.S.A.
cross-examining you.

Okay?

CHUNK:
Then at 8:56 p.m.,

two and a half hours
after the bomb detonated,

you placed a call
to your husband. Why?

To see when he'd be home
from dinner.

CHUNK: Well, if that's all
that it was,

then why didn't you leave
a message?

I-I don't know.
I-I just didn't.

Are you sure that you weren't
calling him to see

if he'd made his escape?

If everything had gone
according to plan?

There was no plan.

I thought he was at dinner.

I didn't know
what was going on.

I just thought he'd be home
by 8:00 or-or 8:15,

and I hadn't heard
from him.

So it's your testimony, then,
that at the time that you placed

that call, you had no idea
about the bombing?

- Yes.
- Remember,

Ms. Doherty,
you are under oath.

Is something the matter?

Can the other side tell
what I was watching on TV?

I mean, could, like, the cable
company tell them or something?

Is there a record somewhere?

Uh, why do you ask, Alicia?

The truth is, I didn't know
what Adam was gonna do.

And I definitely didn't
help him do it.

But that night, Max fell asleep

and-and I was flipping
through channels and...

and a news report came on
about an attack.

So I changed the channel
right away because,

because I didn't want Max
to wake up and see it.

But I heard "bombing,"
and I heard "ATF,"

and-and I don't know,
I couldn't help it.

I thought that-that maybe...

You thought
it might be Adam?

You thought that your husband
was responsible for the attack,

and you decided to call him

and not the authorities?

What if he had been planning
to hurt more people?

[crying]:
I don't know.

I don't know... I-I didn't know
for sure that it was him.

And-and I thought
that maybe I would call him

and-and he would be
with his cousin

and everything would be fine.

But-but then he didn't answer
and then suddenly the FBI

was at the door
and it all just ha...

It all happened so fast.

You know what?

I think we can still
put Alicia on the stand.

Now...

what she told us back there
wasn't great,

but it doesn't
materially change the case.

I mean, she didn't know about
Adam's plans beforehand

or share his intent
on committing that bombing,

so she's still not guilty
of aiding and abetting.

BULL:
Well,

technically, you are right,
but I don't think

the letter of the law
is gonna to save us here, Benny.

Jury's looking
for someone to blame,

and if they hear that Alicia

was even slightly suspicious
of Adam,

even if it was after the fact,
I'm worried they will feel

that's reason enough
to hold her accountable.

Come on, guys, she thinks
her husband did it,

but she didn't call
the police or tell the FBI

when they showed up?

I'm sorry. Game over.
[chuckles]

I don't think the
"It all happened so fast"

is gonna fly as an excuse.

Wait a second.

What time was the bombing?

Sometime around 6:30.

And what time did the FBI
get to Alicia's house?

About 9:00.

Am I the only one
who thinks that's awfully fast?

All rise for the honorable
Judge Tia Hancock.

[door opens]

[speaking indistinctly]

[whispers]:
You can sit right here.

HANCOCK:
Mr. Colón,

you may call
your next witness.

Yes, Your Honor.
The defense would like to recall

FBI Agent Easley to the stand.

Agent Easley,
you are part

of the FBI's Joint Terrorism
Task Force, are you not?

I am. And I'm guessing, as part

of that task force,
you are familiar

with the extremist group
the '76 Righteous Crusaders?

Yes, I'm very familiar
with them.

They're a paramilitary
fringe group.

- Organized mostly online.
- Ah.

And... uh, what is it, exactly,
that they stand for?

Well, the Righteous Crusaders
idealize America

at the time of its founding.

They believe
that since that time,

the ideas and principles
upon which this country

was founded have,
one by one, become eroded.

And that the federal government
has become

increasingly more tyrannical
over the last 200 years,

and that to be a true patriot
is to take up arms against it.

So they incite violence,
against their own government?

They do.

That sounds more like treason
than patriotism.

[laughs softly] Well,
that's why they're classified

as a terrorist organization.

And isn't it also true
that the ATF

is a favorite target
of this group?

Well, the Righteous Crusaders
very much view

the ATF as a threat
to the Second Amendment.

There's a lot of conspiracy
theories revolving around

the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives

if you spend any time at all
in these, uh,

Crusader chat rooms.

Ah, yes, the chat rooms.

Turn up the volume.

Here comes
the good stuff.

Can't wait.

BENNY:
Agent Easley...

I have a transcript...

of an online
conversation

between Adam Doherty

and some members of the, uh,
'76 Righteous Crusaders.

And in it, Adam writes...

And I'm
quoting here...

"When are we gonna slaughter
those murderous ATF bastards

"like the pigs they are?

"I'm going to bomb them
to hell and back

"and make them rue the day

they perverted our country
and all it stands for."

Then there's a response

from someone
named "Minuteman 90."

Um, would you be so kind as
to read that response for me?

"You, sir, are a true patriot.

"Death to the ATF.

"Be sure to hit me up.

"I can get you all
the explosives

and firepower that you need."

Whoa.

"All the explosives
and firepower you need."

Sounds like scary stuff.

You know what
it also sounds like?

It sounds like Minuteman 90

and Adam Doherty were
working together on something.

Maybe even had a hand
in the very murders

we're talking about here today.

Which makes me curious.

You ever look into this guy?

This Minuteman 90?

You know, send out agents
to talk to him?

Follow him?
See what he's up to?

No, we did not.

Really? Huh.

Just sounds like
such a no-brainer to me.

[laughs]

Here's something funny.

I had a cyber analyst
I work with do some digging,

and she found
the most amazing thing.

It turns out that several

of Minuteman 90's posts
can be traced back

to an IP address at the FBI's
New York field office.

Does that surprise you?

No.

Here's another funny thing.

The IP address associated

with those posts
is actually registered...

to you.

[gallery and jury murmuring]

Isn't that right, Agent Easley?

He's so good at this stuff.

Yes, it is.

So how do you explain that,
Agent Easley?

"Minuteman 90"
is an online alias.

It's myonline alias.

I used it
to go undercover to try

and infiltrate the Righteous
'76 Crusaders online

so that the Bureau could have
their eyes and ears

on the group,
know what they were up to

and... and monitor
potential bad actors.

And is that when you first
became aware of Adam Doherty?

Yes.

Was he one of the bad actors

you were monitoring?

Yes, he was.

So, let's review.

You knew Adam Doherty wanted
to build bombs

so as to wreak havoc
on the government.

You knew he hated the ATF.

So in fact, isn't it true

that you knew so much
about Adam Doherty,

that the second
that bomb went off,

you knew exactly who set it?

I had a strong suspicion,
yes.

Of course you did,

because you'd been
following him,

you had agents following him,

you saw him case
the Miller home.

Isn't that right?

I asked you
a question, Agent Easley.

Isn't that why
you were able to get a warrant

less than two and a half hours
after it happened,

and go to his house

and break down his door?

Yes.

So explain something to me
and the jury.

If you knew all of this,

then why didn't you arrest
Adam Doherty

before he killed Agent Miller
and those two little boys?

Before Monica Miller
lost her entire family?

Before we all ended up
here?

Objection! Agent Easley
is not the one on trial here.

Well, maybe
he should be!

Objection overruled.

The counsel

for the defense will ask
the question one more time,

and the witness will answer it.

Agent Easley,

why in the world did you not
arrest Adam Doherty

before he killed Agent Miller
and his two young sons?

Because we couldn't.

Because as disturbing
as Doherty's threats were

online in that chat room,

they were vague enough
to be under the safety net

of constitutionally-protected
speech.

That's why I was attempting, to

try and sell him those
explosives in that conversation.

I wanted to get him
on something solid,

something that would stick
in a court of law.

But ultimately,
he-he wouldn't make a deal.

And without him actually
buyingthe contraband,

we didn't have enough
to bring him in on.

And I...
and I convinced myself then,

since he wasn't able

to buy the explosives
that he was looking for,

that he... that he couldn't
really do any harm.

And clearly, I was wrong.

BENNY:
Okay. Let's talk about

the, uh, woman on trial here,

his wife.

On what basis
did you arrest her?

She was his wife.

It was her storage
unit, and

it was her fingerprints we found
on some of the bombs.

All made from components
she freely admitted under oath

to purchasing
without having any knowledge

of what they were going
to be used for.

So she says.Okay.

So she says.
So, you know what?

Now the burden falls on you.

Agent Easley,
do you have a single piece

of concrete evidence
that supports your assertions

against my client?

Do you have a
single piece

of surveillance video
that indicates

she's visited the storage unit
in the last 18 months?

No.

The testimony of a single agent
that followed her there?

No.

Come on. Something!

A-a-a text?
A-a-a cell phone transcript?

A single piece
of physical proof that indicates

she had anything at all
to do with this?

No, I do not.

[sniffles]

Your Honor,

the defense rests.

Alicia Doherty is charged
with aiding

and abetting her husband.
That means

she's charged
with knowingly helping him

commit his heinous crime.

Now, ladies and gentlemen

of the jury, I've been
sitting in this courtroom

every day single day
alongside of you, and I've heard

nothing that proves
beyond a reasonable doubt

that Alicia had any idea what
it was that Adam was planning.

I mean, she didn't know what was
on that tape in the park.

She didn't know
what was in the storage unit.

And she certainly didn't know
about the plans

he was hatching online
with his fellow extremists.

So what didshe know?
Did she know

her husband believed
in conspiracy theories

- and belonged
to extremist groups? - Yes.

Do you know who else knew?

The FBI.

Did she know
her husband hated the ATF?

Yes, of course
she knew that.

But you know who else
knew that?

That's right.

The FBI.

Now here's the big one.

Did she know
her husband was getting ready

to plant a bomb underneath
the family car of an ATF agent?

No, she did not.

In fact, the only person

who might have known that
was Minuteman 90.

And as you heard him testify,

he didn't believe Adam Doherty
had the explosives material

to pull off the things
he was threatening to do.

So, he kept the information
to himself.

[sighs]

Ladies and gentlemen,
the only person we can blame

for the deaths of Agent Miller

and his two little boys
is already dead.

Sure. Yeah, we can be
critical of the FBI,

with all of their expertise
and resources,

for not doing more
to stop this madman.

But you cannot blame
my client.

Because all that would
accomplish would be

to add Alicia
and her three-year-old boy

to a parade of innocent victims,
both living and dead,

who have already suffered
at the hands

of this misguided zealot
and his heinous crime.

And if that's not enough

to convince you
to vote "not guilty,"

remember that-that...
that monstrous government?

That terrible country

that Adam Doherty
was striking out against?

Well, in that place we all call
"the United States of America,"

in that country,

we are all innocent
until proven guilty.

And ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

nothing has been proven here
today.

Except, hopefully,
Alicia Doherty's innocence.

Thank you for listening.

[quiet murmuring]

Guy's good, isn't he?

And if I lose him
to the D.A.'s office, then...

MAX:
Mommy!

[gasps]

Mommy!

Oh. [cries]

Thank you. Thank you so much.

You are very,
very welcome.

Okay. Let's... Oh.

Ah. Oh!

Congrats on the verdict.

And what are you
doing here?

I saw an opportunity,
and I took it.

Quoting me to me?
How dare you.

This is my new friend,

Vincent Moreau
from the New York Ledger.

And what did you say
the title of the editorial

that you're writing
for tomorrow's paper's gonna be?

"Why Benjamin Colón is
the Right and Just Choice

for Manhattan's
District Attorney."

Oh, my goodness.

[laughs]

Is the Ledgerendorsing
my candidacy?

New York needs a man
like you.

Very impressive, Ms. Colón.

[whispers]:
I hate you.

[laughs]

You're making me blush.
