I've been thinking
about initiating

a prisoner transfer
to Bellmore

who would most certainly
give our Ms. Masry

one helluva headache.

We are cracking down
on any kind of drug trade.

But who brings it in?

[ Sighs ]

A Captain.

Boss ordered a shakedown
of Frankie's cell.

They found
a piece of the Bible.

I'm not gonna
let this blow up in my face.

Aaron Wallace is the rat.

Cassius got a problem with me,
he gotta take it up with me.

Officer Vasquez
was taken away.

Why are these people
still lying here?

At least three prisoners dead,
one corrections officer,

36 seriously injured.

This is what happens
when you apply the softer touch?

There were 150 people
in here.

Most of them
stayed out of the fighting.

Many tried to help.

Officer Vasquez
was pulled out of the fray

by two of the inmates.

A lot of good
that did him.

[ Scoffs ] So, this is just
gonna be a rush to judgment?

I guess we already know that's
one of your favorite tricks.

You'll have your hearing.

In the meantime,
my detectives will need access

to all
the security footage.

We have four homicides
to deal with.
Of course.

While you're at it,
I'd like you to look into

how Cassius Dawkins got here
in the first place.

I don't follow ‐‐

Dawkins was a prisoner
at Lubeck, a level four max,

and he was transferred here

when all the reports on him,
from every superintendent

at every facility
he's ever been at,

indicated
that he's high‐risk.

So, you're blaming
the entire breakdown

of your security apparatus
on one dangerous inmate?

I believe he was sent here

to unleash precisely
this kind of damage

to my facility
and my program.

So it's a conspiracy.
To bring you down.

You're
the Attorney General.

Snap your fingers, and you can
get to the bottom of it.

I'll see what I can do.
Thank you.

Now, if I can get back
to doing my job ‐‐

Let me remind you
that a gag order is in place.

No one speaks to anyone
outside these walls.

Aaron Wallace's wife

They had to medevac him

I tried to save him.

I've seen the surveillance.

Jamal struck the first blow
at Dawkins.

Then you jumped in.

Dawkins is unlikely
to survive.

It was him or us.

That's the real.

You know I'm gonna need

Okay, what you want?
Money.

Ma'am.

I drove by
Captain Foster's house.

Wanted to pay
my respects, but...

I knew there was no chance
his family wanted me there.

I'm sorry about that.

We all should have gave you
more of a chance.

Everyone knows that Foster
let Jamal come in with the shiv.

But what it looks like now

is that Foster used Jamal
to try to kill Cassius Dawkins.

Now, that's not true,
ma'am.

Captain Foster
made a mistake, but ‐‐

I‐I‐I know
what really happened, Huey.

It was Cassius
coercing Foster

to try to take out
Aaron Wallace.

Now, if I can show
that Foster was under duress,

he was afraid
for his own life,

then we can save what's left
of Foster's reputation.

And his pension.

Dawkins sent men
to Foster's house.

Threatened his family.

He was over a barrel.

It's our understanding

did approve
Mr. Wallace's appearance,

but that due
to bureaucratic issues ‐‐

Oh, you gotta be kidding,
right?
He was on the bus.

Look, he's not here.

matters is if he's here.

Come on, come on,

Hello?

Roswell: Safiya.

Henry Roswell here.

I got a big problem.

Yeah, you and me both.

That prick Cyrus Hunt
reversed your order,

sent Wallace back to Bellmore,
threw him in the hole.

How'd you even hear
about this?

One of the guards just called,
tipped me off.

I'm standing outside
the courtroom right now

is supposed to appear.

You got to be able

We refused it because we were

The, uh, corrupt
Commissioner of the Board

You lost me at hello, kiddo.

I have the documents from Lubeck
right here in this folder.

Uh, the transfer papers
for Cassius Dawkins,

which you authorized
and then tried to bury.

You wanna see?

Oh, look. Oh.

"Adjusting well to custody."

"No transfer restrictions."

So, you want
your job back?

No, Jerry.

I‐I know I'm damaged goods
at this point.

I'd just be going back
with my hands tied.

But unlike you,
I believe in something.

So, here's
what's gonna happen.

You're gonna stop Cyrus Hunt
from overturning my reforms.

No, as a matter of fact, you're
gonna find his replacement

in the next six months.

Someone moderate, less likely
to ruffle feathers than me,

but someone who will
maintain what I started

and build on what I've done
incrementally,

without fanfare
but with real progress.

As long as you do that,

these papers
stay in my drawer.
