I found a case.
Andy Josiah.

He shot him in the back.
In front of his son.

Andy Josiah's family deserves

a full, transparent
investigation into his death,

which is why I have
appointed Aaron Wallace

as special prosecutor
in this case.

You asked for this.

I need people I can trust.
And that's you and Henry.

We've got nothing
without witnesses or video.

Our only chance of video
is surveillance

from the cams
in the neighborhood.

I see you have a camera
on the side of the building.

That camera has been broken
for weeks.

If the cops told you
to get rid of that video,

you can be charged with
obstruction of justice.

I understand
that you were scared,

but now you don't
have a choice.

Show us the video.

In light
of newly discovered evidence,

the people would like to charge
Officers Lindsley and Matranga

with manslaughter
in the first degree.

That cop Matranga
came by my house.

I'm sorry for your loss.

It means
he's hiding something.

Sherwin, what happened?

You said you were going
to protect me!

I cannot believe this.

I cannot believe
this is happening.

I know. I know.
Just try to calm down, Sherwin.

Calm down
and tell me what happened.

This woman,
she came into the store.

And she said she was
picking up some beer

for her father's
birthday party.

She said
she forgot her ID.

So -- So you sold it
to her?

I swear,
she looked like she was 30.

B-But she was working undercover
with the cops.

And she was underage.

They're going to
put me away for a year

a-and take away
my liquor license.

You're not going away
for a year, Sherwin.

It's a scare tactic.

Y-You said the -- the Grand Jury
would be sealed,

that this
would all be a secret.

I know.
There was a-a leak somehow.

You should have known
this would happen.

Or maybe you did
and you just didn't care.

As long as you got
what you needed from me.

Hey, hey, hey.
No one told you to sell alcohol

to a young person without
checking for ID, alright?

But we'll get you
a very good lawyer.

Pro bono.

We will help you
with this.

You were arrested for something
you didn't deserve.

Yeah.

So look me in the eye,
Mr. Wallace, and tell me --

did you know something like this
could happen?

Like I said,
we'll get you a lawyer.

Free of charge.

I'm not stupid,
Ms. Masry.

If I refuse to help you,

they will drop these charges
and leave me alone.

You came forward because
it was the right thing to do.

Now they're coming after me
and my family.

So no.
Enough.

You already authenticated
the video once, Sherwin.

Before a Grand Jury,
under oath.

So if you refuse
to help us,

we can subpoena you
and force you to take the stand,

and then you'll have to
authenticate the video again

or contradict
your previous testimony,

which will be perjury,
a far more serious crime

than selling alcohol
to a minor.

I'm sorry. But it's --
it's just where we are.

It'll be much easier for you
if you cooperate.

So...

what's this about you, uh,
wanting to grill me?

I need to hear your side
of the story, Lieutenant Diaz.

Oh, yeah.
Anything for Eddie.

Then run me through it.

Not much to tell.

I arrived on scene at 9:10 p. m.
after receiving a 10-57.

Upon my arrival, I assessed that
Officer Lindsley and Matranga

had pulled a suspect over
for being on his cellphone

and during what would have been
a normal traffic stop,

the suspect reached
into his vehicle

for what Officer Lindsley
perceived to be a weapon.

Officer Lindsley
then discharged his weapon.

And what about the bodega owner,
Sherwin Maloof?

What about him?

What did you say to him
when you went in there?

Standard procedure
witness interview.

You didn't collect
any evidence?

Why do you ask?

Because the prosecution

entered surveillance cam
video footage at the Grand Jury,

but no one mentioned to me
that it existed,

and it wasn't included
in the file.

The bodega owner told me
the cameras weren't working.

And you took him
at his word?

There's Lieutenant Diaz
wrapping up with Ed Lindsley.

Now he's walking
over to Matranga

to give him a talking-to.

So Diaz shows up, tells them
what the story needs to be,

has Matranga
fill out the report.

So the innocent one
is on the hook,

and the shooter
has never signed anything

or even given
a statement.

Not so innocent if he's part
of the cover-up.

-Hey.
-Hey.

How'd it land with Sherwin?

I had to
strong-arm him a bit,

but I think
he'll come around.

Did you figure out anything
on Matranga?

Mm, pretty classic
circling the wagons,

but if Matranga's squirming,
maybe we have an opening.

What's our point
of leverage?

He was in the car
when the shooting happened.

Lieutenant forced him to take
the heat, lie on his report.

Is it enough
to take a run at him?

Be a lot better if we had
Marcel's statement.

That they
changed their story

about why they pulled him over
to begin with.

I think I better
handle this one alone.

But he already
told you the story.

Why do you want to make him
go through it all over again?

We just need to record him
saying the part

about having Andy's phone
in the back seat.

That's all it'll take.

I get it, but why didn't you
do it before?

When he told you
the first time.

I'm sorry.
Something came up.

This may be the only way
to nail him.

Mom?

Hey, Marcel.
How you doing, big man?

I saw a commercial
for "Tiger Time."

Oh, honey.

Maybe take a break from TV
for a little.

They used to watch it together
before school.

I'll read you a story,
okay?

If Lindsley had 14 civilian
complaints against him...

Mm-hmm.

...that means
somebody buried them.

I think we should go after

whoever kept letting him
out on the street.

Subpoena the IAB records.
Absolutely.

That's a full-on
declaration of war.

Well, they just manufactured an
arrest against our star witness

to try to coerce him.

That's not all.

There's a new hit piece.

On Andy?

On us.

What?

Ah, better to be a progressive
warden than a regressive drunk.

Last I checked
anyway.

"Incompetent amateurs with no
people of color on his staff."

Thanks.
The Post is always a mouthpiece
for the police union.

But they talk about
Collars for Dollars.

What?
That we dropped the case,
laid off the police.

Yeah, doesn't say why,
though, does it?

The story's
getting traction.

I'd be more than happy
for people to know

it was the Attorney General who
forced us to make that trade.

We can't go scorched earth.
Not now.

We have to fight back somehow,
don't we?

Let's get on
that subpoena.

♪ Heaven must be like this ♪
Can the baby really hear this?

♪ It must be like this ♪
Yeah, the baby can hear it.

Come on in.
You sing, too.

♪ Heaven must be like this ♪
You want to sing to the baby, too?

You want to sing
to the baby?

♪ It must be like this ♪

You want to sing
to your sister?

Mwah!
♪ Heaven must -- ♪

Hello?

to forget who you are,
huh, Wallace?

Everybody knows
you're just a --

Another one?

Yeah.

We might have to
change our number.

You all right?

We never should have dropped
Collars for Dollars.

And if you kept going, spent
two years in court, and lost?

You made the only choice
you could've,

even if you can never
tell anyone how it went down.

I gotta win this, Marie.

No matter what.

God, don't tell me they have
your cellphone, too.

It's Henry.

Maybe he can't sleep,
either.

Hey.
Hey.

Hey, you getting
crank calls, too?
Yeah.

I just breathe real heavy,
and they hang right up.

Maybe I ought to try that.

So, listen,
I've been poring over

these internal
police records,

and I think I found
a game-changer.

Alright.
Hit me with it.

The guy who swept all Lindsley's
bad reports under the rug --

Lieutenant Marco Diaz.

Which means he was covering
his ass as much as anybody's.

I'd sure love
to leak the IABs

or the civilian complaints
to the press,

redirect the story
in our favor.

The judge will crucify us.

So, Safiya's gonna
pay Sherwin another visit,

see if he'll admit Diaz
muscled him about the video.

Where you at
with Marcel?

He's not up for that
right now.

Look, I know it's rough, Aaron,
but we really need it.

We just keep pushing,

this whole thing's gonna tip
like a house of cards.

Alright.

First thing
in the morning.

Okay, buddy.

You understand the people
you're up against

are a, uh,
pretty unconventional group.

Yeah, the press is having
some fun with that.

That may be, but I hope you're
not taking them lightly.

I didn't get
to where I am

by taking anything lightly,
Mr. Burke.

Mm.

Taking this case
was a shrewd move.

Getting your bona fides
with the police union

ahead of making your run
for Manhattan DA.

I'm not surprised
you did your due diligence.

Then maybe onto this,

then onto Washington.

I'm not planning
that far in advance.

Sure you are.

And it's a good time
for someone like yourself.

You're in a position to play
both sides of the aisle.

But I warn you, you can also
alienate both sides

if you're not careful.

Did you invite me here
for career counseling,

or was there something specific
you wanted to discuss?

Aaron Wallace has a knack
for winning against all odds,

and juries tend
to be sympathetic to him

because of what
he's been through.

If I were you,
I'd think long and hard

before stepping foot
into a courtroom on this.

If you lose, the police union
will never come back to you.

And even if you win,

do you really want to walk
into Queens Supreme

next to the racist cop who shot
one of your own in the back?

Those images tend to have
a very long shelf life

in a public career.

Are you telling me to do
what's in my own interest

instead of my client?

I'm telling you -- work out
a deal here, everybody wins.

Mr. Wallace, why'd you drop
Collars for Dollars?

Is that why you were appointed
Special Prosecutor?

Are you trying
to make up for it now?

People are saying
they have no faith

in your ability to deliver
justice for Mr. Josiah.

Is that why you're coming
to see his wife?

-Any comment?
-Mr. Wallace?

I can't right now, Aaron.

If it's about what you read
about me, I can explain.

It's not about you,
Aaron.

I don't give a damn about that
right now.

Mrs. Josiah, can you tell us
what you're talking about?

You're on her property!
Now step back!

If I could
just come inside...

You wanna put Marcel
through that again?

Then you ask him.

'Cause I just got him to sleep
after he's been up all night

too scared of whatever's
going on in his head.

So come on in.

Go.
Wake him up.

I'm sorry, Elaine.

Mr. Wallace,
what was that about?

Is there a rift between you
and Mrs. Josiah?

Mr. Wallace,
any comment?

What's going on here?

We posted a petition

demanding that the police
drop the charges against Ronnie.

Over 9,000 signatures
in less than a few hours.

Hold on.
You wrote that he got arrested?

At a peaceful protest,

and that the cops assaulted him
for literally no reason.

Did you ask Ronnie
about this?

Yeah, he was down.

Do his parents know?

I don't know.
I guess.

Take it down.
Dad --

You're putting him in the middle
of a media circus,

and you're creating
another headache for me.

Now take it down.
Right now.

O-Okay. Yes.
Right away.

Tell me
this was her idea.

We were sort of feeding
off of each other.

You didn't have the sense
to talk her out of it?

Or at least ask me

how this was gonna affect
what we're doing here?

The way they've been
gunning for us,

we figured it was gonna
come out anyway.

This is how we were getting
in front of it.

It's not "us,"
Charlotte.

It's me.
And my family.

You're right.
I'm sorry.

It's no badge of honor for a
young black man to get arrested.

Even if he's protesting,
even if he's innocent.

Now please just...

just get back to your work
on Diaz.

Yes.

The bodega owner won't even
talk to us right now,

but we subpoenaed
the IABs.

Diaz has been covering
for Lindsley for a decade.

Blue Wall's high
in Manhattan.

In Staten Island,
it's in the clouds.

So can you dig around
for me?

Look.

You thought I was out on a limb
with Collars for Dollars?

This is...

You don't realize
what you're asking of me.

No, I-I do.

No, you don't, Henry.

This is Serpico time.

You remember
what happened to him?

Well,
it's a different time.

It's not different enough.

I get it.

I appreciate your
stopping by.

Alright.
Take care.

You know...how we used to
break the perps.

Even if we didn't have squat,
we'd make 'em think that we did

and turn them
against each other.

Even if the bodega owner
won't corroborate the video.

Bluff if you have to.

See what happens.

So you're willing
to offer my client immunity.

That's right.

And all he has to do
is rat on his partner

and throw his lieutenant
under the bus.

If he wants to avoid time
upstate, yeah.

That'd be the move.

Why don't we show him
the video?

This is surveillance footage
from outside the bodega

the night
Andy Josiah was shot.

It's all cued up
for you.

All you gotta do
is press play.

Obviously,
we don't need to remind you

that everything
we talk about here,

you're obligated to share
with your client.

I'm really sorry, Dad.

I-I didn't mean to mess
anything up for you.

I know you didn't,
sweetheart,

but you got to think
long and hard

before you do
something like that.

I get it.

And Ronnie's parents weren't
happy about it, either.

Put him on speaker.

Aaron, it's Ronnie.

Look, I don't want you
taking this out on Jazz.

I was the one
pushing for it, too.

You read what some people are
saying about you online now?

I can take it if it means
standing up for what's right.

Listen,
I get that you want

to fight this thing
in your own way,

but you gotta understand
that something like this

can follow you around
for the rest of your life.

Pull over.

Dad?
What is that?

I don't know. I must have been
speeding or something.

I-I'm staying on.
Keep me on the phone.

They need to know
that you're not alone.

Dad?

Relax, sweetheart.

They're coming
toward the car.

I'm gonna talk to them,
alright?

Just be quiet.

The point is to let them know
I'm listening.

Jazz, just -- please.

Evening, Officer.

You know the drill.
Let's see your paperwork.

I'm just gonna reach
into the glove box

and get my registration.

Is that all right?

Dad?

Hey, you on the phone?

I'm talking to my daughter.
I'm on my way home.

Hang up.
It's our time now.

Dad?

I'll call you back,
sweetheart.

I'll be fine.

Dad?
Dad?!

I guess
she's worried about me.

We tell you to do that?

You told me you didn't want me
on the phone with her.

Just give me
the papers.

What do you want me
to do?

Turn off the phone.

Mom. The cops pulled Dad over
for no reason.

I was on the phone with him,
and they made him hang up.

I keep calling him back.
He's not picking up.

He's taking a long time
to run the plates.

They kept me waiting
for almost two hours

to intimidate me
and make me late for my curfew.

You're saying
they knew who you were?

That they followed you?

Do you doubt it?

Daddy!

Dad, I thought
they killed you.

It's okay, sweetheart.

You're not gonna file this
as a violation, are you?

Did you happen to get
their badge numbers?

I was on the phone with him
when they pulled him over.

We both were.
I heard the sirens.

Tell me where
you were pulled over.

I'll see
if I can corroborate.

East Hawthorne
and Woodhull Avenue.

Come on.

Let's get inside.

Come on.
Pick up, pick up.

Who are you calling?

The AG again.
No response.

He's never gonna pick up
at 1:00 in the morning.

Not even for you.

Can't believe they think
they can do this

to a special prosecutor.

Well, ever hear
of Thurgood Marshall?

Well, we have to get Burke to
launch a separate investigation.

Two cops pulled a guy over
and ran his plates?

Good luck proving
conspiracy theory on that.

Burke?

Andrea Kayser.

What?
Your journalist?

Andy.

Tell me
you're not calling me

for a comment
on that pathetic hit piece.

I'm afraid it's
a little more substantial

than taking shots at
your extracurricular habits.

I don't like
the sound of that.

Did Staten Island brass
bury the CCRB complaints

about Officer Lindsley?

Don't know
where you heard that.

I've got plenty of sources,
Henry.

In fact, I'm surprised
you haven't leaked it already.

We're playing this one
by the book.

Well, that's one way
I can interpret it.

The other way
is that the same people

who buried
the Collars for Dollars

are a bit soft
around the midsection.

For not doing
something unethical?

I'm going hot with
this story tomorrow,

so now's your chance
to comment.

Me?
Why not Aaron?

You're the one who killed
the police oversight bill.

You're gonna
include that?

If I don't print it,
you know another reporter will.

I'm giving you the chance
to get ahead of it.

Henry?

No comment, Andrea.

Appreciate the heads-up.

What was that?

Guess it was just
a matter of time.

The man was murdered.

Shot in the back.

And why do so many people
have to suffer

for him to get justice?

Henry should have known
his past would come up.

Henry's
the least of it.

It's Sherwin, Elaine, Marcel,
you, Jazz, Ronnie...

Everything
you're sacrificing...

all the people doubting you,
all the hurt,

it's going to fuel you.

Just like it did when you were
fighting for yourself.

Yeah, but I'm fighting
for Andy now.

And I'm not even sure
he'd want all this.

Or maybe he'd want
somebody more ruthless.

I don't know which way
I'm supposed to go.

You can do this
without losing yourself.

I was scared.

When they pulled me over
tonight.

I was really scared.

I know.

We all were.

Not hearing from you
for so long.

I'm in over my head,
Marie.

You know, when I was in prison
and I'd take on those cases...

I'd map it out
in my head.

I could see all the ways
it was gonna go.

And even see
where I might lose.

I could predict it.

But this...

There's a reason

why you watch those videos
of Andy every night.

He's calling to you.

Or you're calling
to him.

Get a shot of
the surveillance camera.

You got it.

Hi.
Hi.

You're that cop lawyer
I saw on TV.

Shame on you.

Hi, Aaron.

How you doin', Marcel?

You be him,
I'll be Tank.

We're fighting our way
out of school.

Um...

hey, Marcel?

I'm gonna need you
to tell me again

what happened to your dad
the night he got pulled over.

But I already did.

I know.
And I'm sorry.

But I'm gonna need you
to tell me again.

No.

This is really important,
Marcel.

I don't want to.

I know.

I know.
I'm so sorry.

But we're gonna
have to do this.

He said my dad
did a bad U-turn.

And you're sure
it had nothing to do

with him talking
on the cellphone?

No.
I had the phone in the back.

I was watching
"Elephants."

You like elephants,
Marcel?

My dad and I used to watch
together all the time.

I know you miss him.

Everybody keeps telling me
I'll see him again one day.

When will that be, Aaron?

I didn't know
what to say there.

So you manipulated a kid

into putting a guilt trip
on a cellphone video.

There's no saying he's gonna
pass a swearability test.

This little boy watched
his father get shot in the back,

and every time I have to make
Marcel go back to that night,

he has to see him
get shot again.

He has to see him.

On the ground.

Bloody.
Screaming.

And he has to carry that
for the rest of his life.

Yeah.

You look away.

The U-turn on that intersection
was legal.

Is that why you lied
on your report?

Made up that Andy
was using his cellphone?

That's what
we thought we saw.

Was it that?

Or was it a "driving
while black" thing all along?

Oh, give me a break.

I think we should show him
the surveillance footage.

I've already told him
what's on it.

Oh, I know. I think he should
see it with his own eyes.

That's why you came here,
right, Phil?

Now, you were in the car
when all this was going down.

No way you could have known
what was going on.

No way to know if Andy
was provoking or resisting.

So why, in your report,

did it imply that you were
standing by the victim's car

observing his behavior?

You came running out
afterward,

calling an ambulance,
like you should have.

And there's your partner,

pointing a gun
at a 7-year-old.

Looks to me like you're
yelling at him to stop.

You know you can't hinge
your case on any of this.

Let's fast-forward.

There's Lieutenant Diaz

spending a lot of time
telling you what's what.

We believe he's the one who
told you to change your story.

Never even had Lindsley complete
a report or make a statement.

He put you
in the hot seat.

Then he walks
into the bodega

to lean on the owner
to bury this video.

Did you know about that?

I had no idea what he was doing
in there.

But falsifying the report

hinged on Diaz believing
there was no video.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have
put yourself in that position.

You don't have to
go down for them.

Think of yourself.

Think of your family.

So what are they offering
exactly?

Immunity.

If you testify against Lindsley
and Lieutenant Diaz.

Well, we have certainly
got a lot to think about.

Phil?

Heard what you
needed to hear.

Let's go talk now, huh?

You had him.

Just about.

He's going back
to the cop cave now.

They're gonna lean on him
from every angle.

We need the footage
from inside the bodega.

We've pushed Sherwin enough.

At this point,
even if we subpoena him,

who knows
what he's gonna say?

So we just
let all that go?

We make a horse trade.

Offer to stand down
on Diaz

if they drop the charges
on Sherwin.

But the lieutenant's dirty.

And in some ways
he's worse than Lindsley.

Because he sent a guy
he knew was dangerous

back on the street.

And then he coerced Matranga
into lying.

He's the institution.

We can't let him
off the hook.

She's right.

We have a chance
to take a bigger swing

than we even imagined.

I know.

But Sherwin's gonna lose
everything he built.

I don't want
to muscle him no more.

I'm afraid
we might have to withdraw

from the joint
defense agreement.

Matranga's gonna flip?
I'm not saying that.

But I want you to know
that our interests

may end up
not being aligned.

It's the video.

They showed it to me.

And?

Let's just say
there are inconsistencies

with my client's statement
and what the surveillance shows.

But the fact is, they may not
be able to use it

if the bodega owner
crumbles.

What are you
talking about?

He was arrested for selling
alcohol to a minor.

That can't be
a coincidence.

The point is,
if they lose the video,

their entire case
falls apart.

That's what you should
tell your client.

And if he happens
to speak to mine,

he should probably
be impassioned about that.

I need five minutes.

You know, I had a customer
in here calling me a snitch.

And I had protestors from the
other side in front of the shop,

as if I had something to do
with killing Andy.

I'll never be able
to stay here.

I'll have to sell the shop for a
fraction of what it's worth now.

I may have a solution
that will work for everybody.

Book a trip to see
your brother in Iran.

Just for a few weeks,
and when the smoke clears,

come back
and pick up your life.

And how does it
help you?

Well, if you're not
in the country

to authenticate the video,

by law, we can proceed
without you.

Are you allowed
to tell me to do this?

You'll need to keep it
between us.

Only a few weeks?

But we will need
the interior video, Sherwin.

The jury needs to see that
what Lieutenant Diaz did --

that is not how this country
is supposed to work.

But it is.

Even if I do as you say,
you will lose.

Everyone will lose.

Maybe.

But I have to try.

Looks like Diaz
is hammering him.

Sherwin looks scared.

He's going to the back room,
where he keeps the footage.

He just gave him
the flash drive.

Hey, Charlotte,
where's Henry?

I don't know.

He's not picking up
or answering his texts.

Did he go home?
He needs to see this.

You want me to go over there
and check?

No, just keep trying him.

So if he gave Diaz
the files...

He had a backup server,
which he never deleted

because part of him wanted
someone to come knocking.

But he didn't tell you
about that part.

He just handed you the flash
drive for us to see it here.

Guess he was too ashamed
to say it out loud.

Will he say this
in court?

That's what he said.

I'll confirm
with him later.

This is good.

Um...maybe I shouldn't
be saying this, but...

Henry was having kind of
a tough time when you were out.

About what?

He kind of went down
an Internet rabbit hole,

deep-diving into all of
the commentary about his past.

You all right?
Yeah.

Other than the fact
that I just spent

27 minutes
in a liquor store,

trying to decide
how to fall off the wagon?

Yeah, great.

From reading comments
on the Internet?

If all those complaints against
Lindsley were public knowledge,

he would have been fired.

He might have
been fired.

They're blaming me
for Andy's death.

And they're not wrong.

Alright,
let's say it's true.

That you did it.

Now what you doing?

Riding your coat-tails.

No.

You're taking the hit for me
on Collars for Dollars.

And you're taking
plenty of hits,

and it's worse 'cause
I'm standing next to you.

You want to resign?

I can help you out
from behind the scenes,

but I'm baggage
for you, pal.

I'm dragging you down.

You're not quitting.

Now, enough
of the pity party.

We got some work to do.

Okay, thanks.

That was Larry.
You need to pack a bag.

You, Jazz, and AJ are gonna
go stay there, alright?

For how long?

Until the trial's over.

Y'all can't be
around me.

Who is it?

It's Scotty.

I got here
as soon as I heard.

They have any idea
who did this?

No.
Nothing yet.

I looked into
that pull-over.

Cops never called it in.
They never ran your plates.

There's no record
of the stop.

Well, that comes down to
whether you believe me or not.

I told my superiors
I'm not gonna file a report.

Will that end it?

It should.

Thank you.

You need more
of a presence here.

Let me make some calls.

Yeah.

I heard about what happened
at your house.

Are you
and your family okay?

I'd say I appreciate
you asking, but...

you know there's a direct line
right back to your client.

Come on.
That could've been anyone.

That's what you're
telling yourself, huh?

My client doesn't know
we're even meeting.

I'm here to gauge your thoughts
on a plea.

You mean you want to see
if I'm scared now?

Leverage my family's fear to get
a better deal for your client?

He'll plead
second-degree manslaughter.

One-year sentence.

One year?

For shooting an unarmed,
innocent civilian in the back?

He panicked.

The rest of it
isn't what you think.

I don't have to tell you
how most of these cases end.

That's what
you're banking on.

Go ahead and say whatever it is
you need to say, Mr. Wallace.

I'm not gonna
waste my breath.

Well, whenever
you're ready,

I'd be happy to have
that conversation.

Hey, y'all all right?

I had Anya
take the kids.

They'll be upstate
with her parents.

Henry?

After your
Lombardi-esque tough-love

get-off-your-sorry-ass pep talk
you were working last night?

I'm not going anywhere.

We're gonna indict
Lieutenant Diaz

whether you testify
against him or not.

But we're offering you
a chance

to come clean
and do the right thing.

First you're asking me
to flip on my partner --

That shot a man in the back
without provocation.

Now you're asking me
to testify

against one of the most
respected men in my precinct.

Let me ask you something.

What did you think
when you got assigned

to ride with
Edgar Lindsley?

I honestly didn't know
anything about him.

You didn't know
about his reputation?

What is this now?

Everybody knew
who the dude was.

It was Lieutenant Diaz
who protected him for years,

swept all his crap
under the rug,

and then stuck you
with him.

And when it finally
all went to hell,

left you holding the bag.

That's never gonna
sway him, Aaron.

He rode with Lindsley
for 18 months.

Never spoke up about him.

Never requested a change
of assignment.

Or transfer.

This whole thing's
a waste of time.

Cut the crap, Ms. Masry.

That's what we're gonna say
in our opening statement, Mike,

when we tie your client
to Lindsley and Diaz.

And the jury
will believe it.

You know why?
Because it's true.

You were complicit.

Every day you stepped into
a squad car with that sociopath.

And if it was up to me,

we wouldn't even
be offering this deal.

It's your last chance,
Phil.

You walk out that door,
there'll be no mercy.

A new turn of events
in the Andy Josiah case.

NYPD Lieutenant Marco Diaz
of Staten Island

has been indicted
for accessory after the fact.

We take you live to Special
Prosecutor Aaron Wallace.

Good afternoon.

I'm here to announce
that we will be indicting

NYPD Lieutenant Marco Diaz
with hindering prosecution,

tampering with
physical evidence,

and obstruction of
governmental administration.

Now, I couldn't have done this
without my team.

Henry Roswell,
a brilliant legal mind

who understands the flaws
in our system

better than almost anyone else.

And Safiya Masry,

forever a champion
of voices that aren't heard.

And people question them
and question me.

They say we were novices,
that we were in over our heads.

But I think
it's pretty clear to see

that we have Andy Josiah's
family in our hearts,

and that's what we're fighting
for, every second of every day.

I'll take any questions now.

You think I'm biting off
more than I can chew?

I'm afraid you're gonna awaken
a sleeping giant.

They're not sleeping,
Spencer.

So you're
doubling down?

I'm not bringing a knife
to a gun fight.

Hmm.

I heard about
your daughter's boyfriend.

Yeah, everyone has.

He's a "thug" now,
just like me.

I'm surprised you never
told me about it.

It was a family issue.
I wanted to keep it private.

Well, I made some calls.

Case against him
has been dropped.

Just like that.

I know exactly what you're
thinking, and you're right.

I had the same power
10 years ago,

and I used it
the wrong way.

When they showed me a nightclub
owner from my community

and pointed their finger,
I should have said, "Who is he?

What's his background?

Does he have a family?"

I had a responsibility,
and I didn't live up to it.

And I go to bed
too many nights

thinking about that
these days.

I wouldn't dare ask
your forgiveness,

but I want you to know I will
spend the rest of my life

trying to make up for it.

For you.

For everyone
in our community.

Hey, Marcel.

Got you another Tank.

It's the new model.

I don't play
with Tank anymore.

I just wanted to say
I'm sorry.

For the other day.

It's what we had to do,
right?

Yeah.

♪ Are we okay? ♪

♪ Hear the whisper out in the pouring rain ♪

♪ Like a calling for just another ♪

♪ Are you scared like me? ♪

♪ Do you wonder why... ♪

You all right?

Yeah.

It was a good day,
all in all.

♪ And are we just enough ♪

♪ From the whiskey pain ♪

♪ That I pour each day in the doorway ♪

♪ Do we walk in line, do I walk in shame ♪

♪ Do I walk these nights for another ♪

♪ And I'm sorry and I apologize for the mistakes ♪

♪ And it's bloody now ♪

You're supposed to be staying
at Larry's.

Why aren't you there?

Jazz and AJ
are staying put.

I'm gonna be here
with you.

Marie.

Look, I left you, Aaron,
when you were in prison.

I lost faith in you,
in us,

and I'm not gonna
abandon you again.

Not when
things get tough.

It's you and me through
every case, every threat,

whatever the world
throws our way.

I'm gonna be by your side,
no matter what.

So...here.
