I, Aaron Wallace,

am serving a life sentence
for something I didn't do.

No!

But today, I've got a way
to fight back.

I'm gonna start attacking
the D. A. case by case.

This is gonna get me home.

This man has preened
before the press.

He has used his position
in prison

to find vulnerable inmates
and twisted their cases around

to malign me
and my record.

Daddy!

I'm gonna need you,

and your grandson
is gonna need you, too.

Aaron Wallace is the rat.

I can't do this
without you, Jamal.

You're my only friend here.

Hold on!

Burke: I didn't create
this situation. You did.

You might want
to take some responsibility,

instead of lashing out
at the people who've come

to clean up your mess.

All that chatter
about you and the riot,

I'll make sure
it gets buried.

You're mine now.

Marie unearthed
a game‐changer.

Marie: That girl
who OD'd at the club ‐‐

I got her hospital records.

Which can get me
my retrial.

Judge Cummings:
I am compelled to find
that a retrial is warranted.

Yes!

Mr. Wallace deserves
an opportunity

to present his defense
before a new jury.

I have a way for all of this
to come to an end.

Take the deal.

You're a very smart man,
Mr. Wallace.

Do the smart thing.

of seeing a jury declare
my innocence

the justice?

to live with that?

Cyrus: Yeah. No,

through the deal.

Maskins: You know
Roswell's not his lawyer.

Aaron.

That's why they don't
want you to finish this.

Yeah, but they're
going after Marie.

at someone's medical records.

I've never heard of anyone
being charged with that.

Worst case, they report her
to the hospital.

What? She loses her job?
No.

No, I can't have that.

Not after how hard
you worked.

When's that
supposed to go through?

Uh, four days.

Okay, so you can sit

And you asked Cyrus Hunt

to end the lockdown
I mandated after the riot

in order
to intimidate Wallace,

after the man had asked
for protective custody

and a prison transfer.

Where did you hear that?

Henry Roswell.

You've got to be
kidding me.

But Cyrus Hunt confirmed it.

He also told me that you and he
colluded to destroy evidence.

He said what?

I saw the raw footage, Glen ‐‐

before you had Hunt
erase it.

I was just trying
to make it go away.

with Angelo Torres,

when you got him
out of the country

before Wallace could
get him on the stand?

So...

this is an ambush.

I could help you
bury some of this, Glen,

you're gonna end up

Walk away now,
with your reputation intact.

You'll land on your feet
in the private sector.

Maskins: I know this will come
as a surprise to many of you,

but after
careful consideration,

I have decided to step down
as Attorney General‐elect

to spend more time
with my family.

Dez O'Reilly will take my place

as acting District Attorney
of the Bronx.

And for now,

Attorney General Burke
will stay on

until a special election
can be arranged.

Let me just say,

[ Camera shutters clicking ]
it has been an honor

to serve the great people
of New York.

O'Reilly: You got
everything you wanted.

Jamal Bishop and your wife
are off the hook.

You're exonerated,
going home,

gonna get to
practice law.

And Maskins is gone.

One thing we can't do.

The assault charge
from the prison riot.

Only way out of that is to plead
guilty to an "A" misdemeanor

and accept probation.

For three years.

Mind your P's and Q's,
stay out of trouble,

you'll be fine.
