Previously on Your Honor...

[Michael]
Jimmy Baxter. He and I

have a grandchild.

[Gina] Have you given
any more thought to

the baptism?

Well, God is still dead, so...

Little Man got away.

[Big Mo]
You got to be

fucking shitting me.

When your
guardian angel vanishes,

I'm gonna be
the next thing you see.

[Little Mo]
They cut it with fentanyl.

I ain't got shit to move.

[Little Mo]
Let me make some calls.

[Eugene]
Double latte

-for Maurice.
-It's been a minute.

My cousin looking to move
some product in the Boot.

Top-tier quality
come top-tier price.

Yo, stay put, Little Man.

Watch that.

[Big Mo]
Change of plans.

I need the cash back now.

Don't you
understand what happens

if we piss this guy off?

[Big Mo]
Just get your ass on the road

and bring me my fucking money.

intense music

[Little Mo] I'm gonna
need you to guard that shit.

It's my life in there,
Little Man.

Money's gone.

Bring his ass
back to New Orleans.

Got a pretty good idea
where it's at.

[Jimmy]
I represent a group of investors

who were awarded the lease

to the 12 acres
across the river.

And that lease
still needs city approval.

[Michael] I need you to come
to a birthday party with me.

It's for Jimmy Baxter.

He's trying to get to me
through you

-and you're letting him?
-[Jimmy] Mayor Figaro,

you might be
the perfect candidate

to be baby Rocco's godfather.

[Olivia] I need you
to be my eyes at the party.

[Michael]
What is it you want to see?

[Jimmy] Meet Carmine Conti,
my father-in-law.

[Charlie]
He's been living on some island

off the coast of Italy.

[Michael]
Why's he back here now?

[Fia]
You are family.

Why do I keep seeing you
around my children?

[Michael]
Do it.

Please.

[indistinct chatter in distance]

ominous music

Certainly not in New Orleans

with a bag full of my money.

Little Mo said
you needed it, so...

now you got it.

Yeah, but how'd you get it?

Oh, don't get quiet now.

So, your miraculous escape

not so miraculous after all.

And then Little Mo
hides you out in Houston

with my sister, of all people.

Take brains to outsmart
damn near a whole city

looking for you.

But you coming back now--

now, that take balls.

I hope you ain't
trade one for the other.

[Carlo]
We're about ready to leave.

Dessert in half an hour.

Eat.

I had too much,
uh, cake tonight.

This is tradition.

Papa.

Carlo.

Where's Fia?

She left.

Oh. Of course she did.

After the spectacle
you put on tonight,

I wouldn't want
to celebrate you either.

Gina--

How dare you suggest that man

be godfather of her child.

That is a sacred position,

and you are to treat it as such.

Now eat your fucking cannoli.

slow, suspenseful music

[knocking on glass]

[door closes]

You were supposed
to call me last night

-after you left that party.
-Oh,

did you lose track of me

when I flushed
your listening device?

-That wasn't very nice of you.
-Oh.

And neither was tossing
this to the curb.

Oh.

You should be more careful

with government property,
Michael.

I need details.

Uh, people ate, people drank.

Gina threatened me.

I went to the bathroom,
discovered your bug,

flushed it down the toilet.

I think that's
where your knowledge

of the evening ends,
so let's see.

Uh, Charlie arrived,

Jimmy gave a speech,
there was cake,

Carmine Conti is back in town.

I was summoned to the basement,
where Jimmy

put a gun to my head.

Are those
the details you wanted?

Carmine Conti is back in town?

That's your takeaway?

Oh, my God.

Michael, bringing down Baxter

would be huge,
but bringing down Carmine Conti?

That's some Eliot Ness shit
right there.

Do you really think
that I care about any of this?

Oh, come on.

That's the beauty
of the RICO act.

'Cause, as you know,

whatever crime
is committed by one

is committed by all.

Too bad Jimmy didn't
kill you last night.

Could have taken them
all down for murder.

Wow.

I'm kidding.

Kidding.

Can you be honest
with me, Michael?

When Baxter lowered that gun,

you felt relief, didn't you?

Late start for a workday.

[Carlo]
You want something to eat, Dad?

Coffee.

We were just talking about
the waterfront deal.

We've got to secure this lease

before that mayor
opens it up to other bidders.

We were promised this land.

I'm handling it.

Are you?

Yes.

How?

Establishing a relationship
with our new mayor, hmm?

Uh, hearing him out,

negotiating.

We should never beg.

I never do.

I have built
a few businesses in my time.

[Carmine]
All on your own, huh?

All those city contracts
you were awarded,

the unions that
never caused trouble,

the peace and prosperity
that you've enjoyed--

all of that was earned,
but not by you.

The Baxter business
was built on the Conti name.

[Gina]
That's right.

And we shouldn't let something

as silly as a politician
stand in our way.

What does that mean?

[Gina] It means
if this mayor is a problem,

there are ways to get a new one.

We have hunted
bigger game than that.

[Charlie]
Good morning, Jasmine.

[Jasmine]
Good morning, Mr. Mayor.

[door closes]

[Charlie]
Hey, hey.

So you went to the party?

You know I did.

Everyone knows you did.

Oh, that's just a photo.

We're a year in,

and we haven't delivered
on any of our big promises.

Where are the major initiatives

to support
Black-owned businesses?

Being red-taped to death
by city council.

Look, I may be mayor,

but I'm not God.
What would you have me do?

Your constituents
don't care about red tape.

To them, it just means
you can't get the job done.

We need to demonstrate
to our supporters

and to the city
what it is we stand for.

Because this...

doesn't scream
"The People's Mayor."

slow, ominous music

[Nancy]
What do you got, Connors?

Detective.
We just picked this guy up

in the Lower Ninth
driving a stolen car.

He's got a wild list of priors.

Then he told us a story.

Could just be bullshit,

but I think you're
gonna want to hear it.

You sure about making
this statement?

[muffled conversation]

Hey, Tony.

Otis.

Morning, Michael.

Hey, give these
guys a hand, would you?

Uh, actually, I...

I just wanted to
stop by to thank you.

For the job.

No two weeks' notice?

I doubt I've got two weeks left.

Look, uh,
I'm shorthanded right now.

I can probably
get my brother to fill in,

but can you help me out today?

Yeah.

I appreciate y'all coming here.

You hitting us up for
contributions again already?

Election cycle starts
earlier and earlier.

Politicians are always
running for something,

but that's not
why I asked you here.

My man Zeke here

has a interesting proposal.

The waterfront land in Algiers.

It's the perfect place for
a group like yours to invest.

Every mayor tries
to develop that land.

That ground
has never been broken

-and it never will be.
-[Charlie] Ah,

this is about to become
a major initiative

of my administration.

That land will be developed.

The only question is

will it be by Jimmy Baxter

or by you?

We're not about
to bid against him.

I'm not asking you to bid.

[Zeke] We do a cooperative
endeavor agreement.

Bypass the RFP entirely.

[Charlie]
A public-private partnership.

Your investment,

plus the government
kicks in some funding.

gentle music

Hell, that's even a win
for the people.

[giggling]

Oh, my God, I can't believe
that this place is yours.

I told you it'd be.

[laughs]

You say that like

you always get what you want.

What happens when you don't?

I don't know.

But it ain't happened yet.

[clucks tongue]

-Come on.
-[giggles]

You ready to go, Papa?

I don't know that I can
go to that cemetery now.

It was hard enough
visiting Mama's grave

when she was alone, but...

Rocco was...

just a boy.

A piece of me just...

died that day, and...

...sometimes I worry
there just isn't enough left.

But you endure.

-I never doubt it.
-I just feel like

everything is just
slipping through my fingers.

Then squeeze tighter.

Or just let go.

Of family?

Of Jimmy.

-Marriage is hard.
-Well,

it wasn't for you and for Mama.

Oh, sure. We had tough times.

Well, I don't remember that.

That's because
we kept it from you.

That's the way it was back then.

But, um,

we had our struggles.

He's a lot like her, you know.

I think that's what
drew you to him.

Well, sometimes I--

I just wish
he was more like you.

There we go.

There.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

I asked Rocco
what he wanted to do today.

He said see his grandpa.

Uh, is now a bad time?

I can't see you anymore.

Is this about my dad?

Did he say something to you?

It's about me.

Look, I-I know
this is a difficult time,

but believe me,

having me in your life

won't make it
any easier for you.

How can you say that to me?
How can you say that to him?

I'm sorry.

[Baby Rocco cries]

haunting music

Hey.

I'm so tired
of our fucking family.

Well, I mean, yeah. What's new?

I think we should just
kill our parents, you know?

We'll split the inheritance.
A fresh start.

Which one of us would do it?

Rock, paper, scissors.

Loser kills Mom?

Yeah, obviously.

Thanks.

So, how would you do it?

Popsicle.

-Okay.
-Yeah, hear me out.

You sharpen one-- a grape one--

make a fine point,
jab her in the neck.

Evidence melts away.

Perfect murder.

You've thought about
this before, maybe?

Once or twice, yeah.

-Hmm.
-[short chuckle]

You okay?

I'm just scared
he'll turn out like them.

[coos]

No, he won't.

Nah.

He's lucky.
He'll end up like you.

How do you know that?

Because I'm like them.

Look at what you're doing, Fia.

You're stronger than all of us.

[scoffs] Right.

Hey.

What'd Dad always call you?

Hmm?

Fia the Lionhearted.

Roar.

Ain't no telling
what I'm hiding in my glovebox

He had the jelly
so I ride with a gun cocked...

Yo, I got to take a piss.

hip-hop music continuing

So take a piss.

Really?

After all the time
I looked after y'all?

You know what it is, bruh.

You know what
she gonna do to me.

I know what she'll do to us
if we let you go.

-[door opens]
-Man, she ain't got to know

that you let me go.

How many times you think
that one's gonna work?

Yo, give me a day
to find the money.

Trey know where Roderick stay.

I can go get it, I just--

slow, somber music

You're my only problem now.

You got what you needed.

[Big Mo]
No thanks to you.

You fucked the cartel.

Nah.
You fucked the cartel.

[phone vibrates]

We got company.

[indistinct chatter]

[speaks Spanish]

[Chris]
You lost?

Busted GPS.
You know how it is.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Don't know how they do it
down in Houston,

but out here, we don't roll up
on other people's spots.

Especially not
without a invitation.

That money was my invitation.

Oh, that money gone.

[chuckles]

I hope that's not true,
for your sake.

We had a verbal contract,
and that's binding.

We ain't have shit.

That what you want me
to bring back to my people?

I don't give a fuck what you
take back to your people.

Oh, yes, you do.

Me and you both know
they're not...

[speaks Spanish]

...forgiving.

[clicks tongue]

Well, I think an arrangement
can still be made.

Money you want, great,

but I'm gonna need product
to make that money.

So you want an advance?

[scoffs]
That's not how things work.

Well, you can
go home empty-handed,

find another way
to offload your shit.

Or you can front me a key,

let me get
that cash flowing again,

and we can make
payment arrangements

to get you what you want.

So... so you want an advance

and installments?

[scoffs] The balls on you.

Yeah, they're bigger
than you know.

Promise you that.

Okay. I'm paid in full,
plus 25% vig.

Ten percent.

Twenty. And you don't get
an ounce of my shit

until I'm paid.

See, I don't know
if you know it,

but you ain't
in a place to negotiate, so...

[speaks Spanish]

Look, you can kill me right now,

but then you have to deal with

my international associates,
and we both know

they're... not too skilled
in the art of negotiation.

But... [speaks Spanish]

...they'll be on standby.

Fifteen percent.

Vig starts now.

Or I send this up the chain.

You just keep your ass
out of New Orleans.

slow, ominous music

[entry bell rings]

I'll be right with you.

[door closes]

Hello, Judge.

Michael.

Might I have
a moment of your time?

[entry bell rings]

May I help you?

Um, I'm gonna need a minute.

I'm sorry, we're all out

of what you're looking for.

What's this, uh, cut over here?

Just leave now.

This concerns
your friend Charlie.

slow, dramatic music

I had an arrangement
with the previous

administration, but he's
considering backing out of it.

I can't control that.

Could be very,
very dangerous for him.

If I can't do this deal
the way I wanted to,

then other people
are gonna get involved,

unfortunately.

People like my father-in-law,

which is the last thing
I would want, frankly.

I'm concerned

for Charlie's safety.

So, uh...

...perhaps there's
another option.

Just let him know, please.

You should've never
came back, Little Man.

She was gonna kill you
if you took the money.

And now she gonna kill you, too.

Maybe.

Maybe she won't, but...

I had to try something.

You made the right call,

which is more
than I can say about you.

Thanks to your
overeager-ass drug deal,

I got cartel shit
I got to worry about now.

The deal was good.

How about you explain to me

how I got visited by
the Ghost of Christmas Past.

[Little Mo]
Like you said,

Kofi was on me.

And with the rest
of his family gone,

I had to do right by Little Man.

I owed him.

Nah, you owe me.

slow, dramatic music

And that's a debt
you ain't never gonna repay.

As my right hand man,

how would you advise me
to deal with someone

who disobeyed my orders

and lied to my face?

what the fuck I do with you now?

[Janelle]
Monique.

What are you doing?

You know who I am.

You know what I do.

And we agreed.

You don't ask, I won't tell.

He's your nephew.

He's not some corner boy
you took in from the streets.

-He is family.
-Mm.

Yeah.

And family can fuck up, too.

And when they do,
we got to handle it.

Handle it how?

That's my business.

No, that's your blood.

And if that's what
family means to you...

...I'm not sure
what we're doing here.

-Hey.
-Hey.

So, what's up?

Um...

I have a habit

of getting too close to a case.

It's caused me to miss things,

sometimes things that are
right in front of my face.

Some new information
came in today,

pointed me in a direction

I should have looked at
a long time ago.

slow, ominous music

[quiet, indistinct chatter]

Thank you, Jasmine.

Not bad, right?

-Mm.
-[Charlie chuckles]

I remember starting
the first petition

to get you on the ballot
for city council.

Who'd have thought
it would have led to all this?

Me.

Sit.

So, what's on your mind?

[sighs]

You should make that deal
with Jimmy Baxter.

What are you, his lobbyist?
[short chuckle]

I don't understand.
Wh...

What do you get out
of helping him?

They want this deal,
and they will do everything

to make sure they get it.

I'm not gonna be intimidated.

Charlie, the last time
I saw someone get in his way,

Jimmy shot that man in the head

right in front of me.

And yet...

...here you are,
doing his bidding?

What are you not telling me?

I am part
of a federal investigation

into the Baxter organization.

slow, ominous music

That's why
they let you out of prison?

Yes.

And you just
let me in on this now?

I was trying to protect you.

From the feds
who could prosecute me

or the mobster
who could kill me?

Both.

Why did you agree to cooperate?

Don't lie to me.

The night Adam died,

Nancy Costello
came to the hospital.

[sighs]

I was...

overcome with grief.

And I confessed

everything to her.

The hit-and-run,
Carlo Baxter's trial, all of it.

I told her that

you got rid of the car.

What?

Goddamn it, Michael.

What--

Are you fucking kidding me?

I-I was...

I was in shock.

I wasn't thinking clearly.
I'm-I'm sorry.

To hell with your apology.

This keeps happening.

You ask me to disappear a car,

I'm covering up a killing.

You invite me to a party,

I'm mixed up with mobsters
who could murder me.

My greatest liability
in life is you.

I'm trying to help.

You're the last person
whose help I'd ever want.

Get the fuck out of here.

[slurping]

[slurping continues]

Why do I have to
be here for this?

I'm so tired
of explaining myself to you.

I'm tired of being
treated like a child.

Then don't act like one.

Sit down.

Would you both
cut her some slack?

Stay out of this.

Jimmy,

your family's dysfunctional.

[Jimmy] You know,
I'm actually quite tired

of explaining myself as well.

How I run my family
is my business.

Not when you leverage
the soul of my grandson.

I was trying to bring
the mayor into our world.

Well, you failed.

And you corrupted
the spirit of the baptism.

There isn't gonna be a baptism.

Then you have
condemned your child

to hell for all eternity.

Save us a seat
when you get there.

Okay, that is enough!

Your mother's faith
is what keeps this family whole.

When I have failed,

when I have faltered,

she has held us together.

You are both adults.

But you are our children.
Always.

We have your
best interests at heart,

just like you, Fia,

have little Rocco's.

Now, there are things
we must do for ourselves

and there are things
we must do for our family.

We want our grandson baptized.

Then I want Carlo
to be godfather.

Good.

[indistinct conversation]

[coughs]

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault, Little Man.

Were you and Kofi friends?

You can have friends

or you can have soldiers.

You can't have both.

Eugene.

You should have had
a big brother looking after you.

I'm sorry about that.

slow, ominous music

It's all right, I guess.

You like my sister?

I mean, she took
good care of you?

Yes, ma'am.

Yeah, she took care of me, too.

How was school?

Straight A's.

Before all this shit
went down with the money,

was you ever planning on
coming back to New Orleans?

Ever?

No.

There's nothing
for me here anymore.

You gonna stay here tonight.

Tomorrow, your ass
is on a bus back to H-Town.

Wake up.

What's going on?

Take Little Man to the back.

[Russell]
Let's go.

[Big Mo]
Hey.

You ain't fam.

Not to me.

Not no more.

Not to us.

intense, dramatic music

You know what it is.

Blood in, blood out.

pulsing, ominous music

[grunting]

[coughs]

I appreciate the opportunity
to discuss this in private.

Seemed more appropriate
than at your birthday party.

Apologies if my, uh,

calling you down
caught you off guard.

And it appears my suggestion

that you be godfather
to my grandchild

was vetoed in favor
of my son doing the honors.

Let's stick to business.

I've revisited your proposal.

I'm pleased to hear it.

I can't make this deal.

Not without some changes.

Such as?

I want preferred contractors,

union workers, and disadvantaged
business enterprises

at 35% participation, minimum.

It's important to you
who builds this project.

It's important
to the people who put me here.

A project this size must
include Black-owned businesses

and livable wages.

As you wish.

You've also got to build more
than what was in your proposal.

The Baxter District
needs a school, a library,

a community center
and low-income housing.

[chuckles]

Well, that's
a very, very long list.

Sounds a bit more
fitting for Santa.

The North Pole doesn't run
without the elves.

And I get the waterfront?

You get to lease the waterfront.

From the city.

Either this development
is a genuine partnership

or it's an empty plot of land.

ominous music

Hello.

[Charlie]
The deal is done.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

What if she fails?

She'll either
bring down the Baxters

or the Baxters
will build up the waterfront.

Either way, it's a win for us.

And I live to fight another day.

pensive music

You had a hell of a day.

You deserve a hell of a night.

[Django whines]

[whines]

Okay.

[drawer opens]

-[Django whines]
-Okay.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

All right.

[chuckles]

Mmm.

[knocking on glass]

Good morning. Again.

Seems like you and I
have started quite the routine.

Coffee is a routine.
You are a nuisance.

[chuckles]

So, what did you say to Charlie?

I agreed to your scheme
to protect him,

so that's what I did.

-Well, it worked.
-Good.

The city leased
the waterfront to Jimmy Baxter.

Great, so we're done.

-Not quite.
-[chuckles]

I need your help
on something else.

No. No, no, no.

You are not gonna keep
moving the goalposts on me.

-Hear me out--
-No, I am done

playing your puppet.

Can we not do this again?

I was trying to help Charlie

and look what that did for him.

So, you can
take me back to prison,

but we are through.

I will tell you
when we are through.

You know, that is not
how this is gonna work out.

I am done.

[soft chuckle]

Okay.

low, dramatic music

[phone whooshes]

tense music

[door opens]

[door closes]

He's all yours.

What? Uh...

[handcuffs clink]

[scoffs]

[indistinct chatter]

Sit down.

New evidence has come to light

that you lied to police
on your statement.

Where were you

on the night
of your wife's murder?
