Previously onYour Honor...

The matter of The State of Louisiana

v. Eugene Jones is called to order.

All that matters now

is that you walk out of here

with your freedom.

[Little Mo] You say when it comes to Desire,

it's all in or all out.

You haven't been all in for a while.

See, I may give up Desire one day, but...

ain't a motherfucker that's gonna take that shit from me.

Everything I got I fought for.

I bled for.

But I need you to love all of me, too.

[explosion]

[Fia] It was a gas leak?

It's got nothing to do with me.

If you choose to do nothing now,

what makes you so different?

I have nowhere else to go.

You may find that you do belong someplace.

Even if it's not the place you've always been.

Whatever you tell me, it'll be okay.

But if I find out that you lied to me,

you will never see me again.

All right.

Are you responsible for the death of the Jones family?

It was a gas leak.

Okay. I should tell you

I spoke with an assistant U.S. attorney.

So whatever it is you are doing

with the Calabri family, you need to stop.

They are watching everything you do.

[Charlie] We got a problem.

Jimmy Baxter just called off the deal.

The entire development is being scrapped.

The State moves to amend the witness list.

I would like to add a name.

Michael Desiato.

Lee?

The prosecution wants you to testify.

What would you have me do?

Lie.

I can't do that.

Don't be the one to send Eugene away for life.

Just keep me out of that courtroom.

[Rocco fussing]

[Rocco cooing]

I didn't know what to keep and what to give away.

Yeah. It must have been hard. So, thank you.

Oh, wow.

Oh, my God. These are amazing.

Did Adam actually wear these?

Yeah. Well, before they were bronzed.

[laughs]

Wow.

[Elizabeth] They're so tiny.

What's that?

[smacks lips, stammers]

[Fia] Mariano Rivera?

He was a relief pitcher for the Yankees.

He was Adam's favorite player.

He was the greatest closer of all time.

Rocco.

Rocco, look. [gasps]

[Lee] State has one more witness.

[Eugene] What does it even matter?

Everybody says they saw me.

[Lee] What the prosecution has put forth

are eight people who were at a party celebrating Carlo Baxter

getting away with murder.

Eight cross-racial identifications.

None of the eight people

actually claim to have seen the gun being shot.

And what about these?

Concede nothing to these people. You hear me?

All we need is one juror, one person to care enough,

to sympathize with what you've been through,

and regardless of what may or may not have happened,

to understand that you do not belong in prison.

You just need to convince one person.

[sighs]

Eighteen months of work

and Jimmy Baxter just decides

to pull the plug at the final hour?

What the fuck?

It's not you.

It's not. There's something about this city.

It's designed to ensure its problems never get solved.

But we can't stop trying.

Oh, I don't want to stop trying.

The question is: Will they give me another shot?

I mean, they transferred me once before, they could do it again.

Yes, they can, Nancy.

First, it was New York to New Orleans.

Now it'll probably be New Orleans to...

fucking New Hampshire.

I'll be prosecuting bootleggers of maple syrup.

[laughter]

Well, those syrup bootleggers better beware.

Look, it doesn't matter if it's Jimmy Baxter or...

Mayor Figaro.

In the history of men,

getting away with shit always emboldens them to do it again.

And we'll be there.

Definitely.

I talthis morning.labri

that husband of yours.

I know the feeling.

Now, if Jimmy doesn't want to run the family,

it might be time we take it from him.

I completely agree.

Maybe I stay here a little while longer

and help right the ship.

Until when?

Until Carlo is ready.

Papa, I am ready.

Please, let's not have that conversation. Okay?

If I were your son, I would be the head of this family.

And you know I would've done a better job than Jimmy's done.

Listen, this might seem antiquated to you,

but it's just not the way things

are done in our business.

I thought we make the rules?

Not this one.

[piano lounge music playing]

They'd like a word.

Hotel living don't suit you, Jimmy.

Though, as far as dog houses are concerned,

I guess it could be worse.

Take a mighty shiny piece of jewelry to mend fences

with the missus, huh?

What do you want?

[Big Mo] French Quarter.

You control the streets,

the police, all of that.

I want Desire to have free reign.

I have no interest in the drug business.

And the drug business ain't got no interest in you.

I just want your blessing

to expand my operation in the neighborhood.

Now, why would I agree to that?

Because I'll sell you the club.

And that, as far as your wife is concerned,

is shinier than the Hope Diamond.

Nothing Gina hate more than look across that street and see me.

Think of how happy she'd be if...

you gave it to her.

Your offer is rejected.

Hey.

[coos]

I spent the weekend reviewing your briefs

regarding the witness.

The scope of his testimony is to be confined

to the night of the shooting.

He knows far more about this case

than simply the events on the night in question.

If you're gonna allow a convicted felon

to testify as a last-minute addition,

I'm entitled to explore the circumstances

surrounding that event, which are absolutely pertinent

to my client's defense.

I didn't hold this conference to listen to you repeat

the arguments you made in your brief.

The allegations you make against Michael Desiato are damning.

They're also unfounded.

You will not be lodging them in my courtroom.

My ruling on the scope is final.

And Ms. Delamere, if you overstep,

I will have no hesitation about holding you in contempt

and ordering a new trial for Mr. Jones.

If you can't lie,

the least you could do is plead the Fifth.

That's what any lawyer would advise you to do anyway.

[Jarek] The State calls

Michael Desiato.

Do you swear and affirm that the testimony

you're about to provide is the truth,

the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

I do.

- Judge Desiato, were you-- - [Lee] Objection.

The witness is not a judge.

It is a sign of respect

for a previous position that he held.

One that was taken from him.

Approach.

We can't get past the witness's name

without this going off the rails?

[Lee] If I'm not permitted to examine this witness

in a way that impugns his integrity,

surely you won't allow the State

to afford him a deferential title

that he no longer deserves.

Get on with it.

Mr. Desiato...

were you at the Baxter House hotel the night of the shooting?

Yes.

What were you doing there?

I was looking for my son Adam.

[Jarek] And why was Adam there?

[Michael] He was dating Fia Baxter.

[Jarek] How long had they been dating?

[Michael] Uh, I'm not sure.

A few months.

[Jarek] When did you learn of their relationship?

[Michael] That day.

So, you went to get Adam,

and then what happened next?

There was a party at the hotel.

I-I wasn't on the guest list,

so security wasn't letting me in.

I went around the side,

to a window, so I could look in at the bar and restaurant.

And did you see Adam?

Yes.

Did you see anyone else?

Mr. Desiato.

Did you see anyone else through the window?

Yes, I saw Adam and Fia.

The Baxter family.

It-it was a party, so there were a lot of people.

And I'm sorry to have to ask, but...

...did you see your son get shot?

I was trying to get his attention.

And then...

Suddenly, there...

There was a... bang.

The bullet hit Adam in the neck.

I looked past him and I saw someone...

standing next to the kitchen in the back.

And he...

He was holding a gun in his hand.

Adam fell to the floor.

I ran inside and I-I yelled for help.

I held my son in my arms as he died.

[Jarek] And did you see who shot him?

Yes.

[Jarek] And was it the defendant Eugene Jones?

♪ quiet, tense music ♪

♪

Yes, it was.

Mr. Desiato, do you believe in justice?

We've already established that you were a judge.

Do you need me to define justice for you?

Objection, badgering.

Sustained.

Allow the witness to answer.

[Lee] Do you believe in justice?

I don't know.

How about karma?

How about payback, comeuppance, retribution?

Is counsel serious with these questions?

Fine. How about this one:

Do you believe your son deserved to die?

Counsel.

[Judge Doucet] If this is how it's gonna go,

I'll end your cross right now, Ms. Delamere.

Mr. Desiato, do you know of any reason why my client

would've wanted to kill your son?

No, I don't.

Do you know of any reason why my client

would have wanted to kill Carlo Baxter?

Objection!

[Judge Doucet] Approach, now.

[murmuring]

Your Honor, the State has already alleged

revenge as a motive.

Which stems directly from Mr. Baxter's trial

in the witness's courtroom.

And you are free to explore that area...

but not with this witness.

That trial, as far as Mr. Desiato is concerned,

is out of bounds.

Mr. Desiato, can you describe your vantage point

when Adam was shot?

I was looking through a window.

Big window, small window?

Big.

Any obstructions?

Blinds, curtains?

[Michael] There were curtains, but they were open.

[Lee] How wide?

[Michael] Wide enough to see inside clearly.

Inside, how many people were there?

Twenty, thirty at least.

[Lee] Were you able to see Adam right away?

No, I-I was...

scanning the room until I spotted him.

And the shooter...

did you see him before he fired?

[Michael] No, after.

Did he run?

[Michael] Yes.

How long were you able to see him for?

A couple seconds.

So you're looking through a window,

past curtains, into a dark room

with a lot of people,

and you were focused on your son.

Are you certain,

that past all of that,

that it was Eugene Jones you saw holding the gun?

Yes.

[Lee] You saw his face?

[Michael] I did.

[Lee] Did you see what he was wearing?

Jeans and a white T-shirt

and a checkered hoodie, unzipped.

You only had a couple seconds

and you claim to have seen his face,

his pants, his shirt?

No, that... that is what he was wearing.

I-I didn't ask you what he was wearing.

I'm asking how can you remember that?

How can you confidently identify a boy

who you have never seen before?

You wanted to tell the truth.

Objection. Argumentative.

[Judge Doucet] Sustained.

He was wearing the same clothes

that I had seen him in earlier that day.

Objection! Beyond the scope! Move to strike.

[Lee] The witness opened the door, Your Honor.

[Judge Doucet] Yes, he did.

You may proceed, carefully.

When did you see Eugene Jones earlier that day?

I saw him in my chambers.

He was selling me a baseball.

Objection! The witness is offering

narrative not asked for.

- Sustained. - Fine.

Why was he in your chambers?

He was selling me a baseball.

[Lee] How much for?

[Michael] $500.

Why so expensive?

It was autographed by Mariano Rivera.

What was your interest in that ball?

It once belonged to my son.

Do you know how Adam's baseball

came into the possession of Eugene Jones?

[Michael] He inherited it,

from his brother Kofi Jones

after he died.

How did Kofi Jones end up with that baseball?

It was in my car.

[Lee] The car that hit Rocco Baxter?

[Michael] Yes.

[Lee] The car that Kofi stole?

[Michael] Yes.

The car that he stole October ninth?

No.

He stole the car on October tenth.

The day after the car hit Rocco Baxter?

Yes.

[Lee] So Kofi Jones wasn't driving that car

that was involved in the hit-and-run?

No.

Who was driving?

I didn't want to hurt you.

You failed.

You're a liar.

And so was your son.

[Elizabeth] Oh, Fia...

[exhales]

Well, based on Desiato's testimony today--

How fucked are we?

He-he hasn't said anything that implicates anyone in this room.

Yet.

So, then...

how exposed are we?

Well, that depends on what Desiato might say,

and on what he can prove.

Well, it's simple then.

Let's make sure he never talks again.

Shut the fuck up, Carmine.

Don't you talk to my father that way.

I can make sure you never talk again, too.

[Zander] Okay, okay.

A couple of things, since we're all here.

A couple of reminders.

One, attorney-client privilege

does not extend to future crimes.

Two, it certainly doesn't extend to crimes

that you planned in my presence.

He was just blowing off a little steam.

Yeah, but he's got a point though.

If we could get rid of Michael--

Okay, I'm going to take a walk around the hotel.

Talk amongst yourselves while I'm gone.

Wait, wait. Wait.

What do you recommend we do right now, this very minute?

Nothing. Nothing.

All Michael did today was implicate himself.

So then we return to court tomorrow, as a family...

...and show we have nothing to hide.

[door beeps]

[Gina] Fia...?

Oh, God.

- [sniffling] - It's all right, it's all right.

[shushing]

It's all right.

[indistinct chatter]

You did a good job today.

Negligent homicide, time served.

[sighs] You didn't do that good of a job.

Your boss is in real danger of having to retry every conviction

from Desiato's courtroom.

Every defense lawyer will file an appeal for retrial,

every prosecutor will be forced to double their workload.

The district attorney's reelection hopes, dashed.

I've already got Michael talking.

Who knows what else he's willing to say?

One thing he will say is that Eugene Jones killed his son.

You really think you can plead this down, Lee?

Your narrative is crumbling.

Eugene is as much a victim as he is a culprit.

You need to convince 12 people

that this kid hasn't already suffered enough.

It's too late now, Lee.

I'll take my chances with the verdict.

[lock buzzing]

Hey.

What'd the prosecutor say?

Don't worry about him.

The jury heard what happened.

[Lee] They heard Michael's story.

Well, would it help if they hear mine?

I don't know.

Everybody's just always trying to make me disappear.

Uh, New Orleans.

The Lower Ninth. Born and raised.

Where were you on the morning of October ninth?

[Eugene] Uh, I was in Judge Desiato's courtroom.

[Lee] Why?

[Eugene] My mom had been busted for possession.

[Lee] What happened that day in court?

Judge Desiato had let her go.

[Lee] Why?

[Eugene] Uh, because the cop that arrested her

had lied about seeing her hide drugs.

And were you in court alone?

No.

Your three youngest siblings were with you?

Yeah. I was taking care of them.

[Lee] So you and your family went home.

What happened the next day?

[Eugene] Cops arrested my older brother Kofi

for stealing Judge Desiato's car.

[Lee] And that's how he came to be charged

with the hit-and-run that killed Rocco Baxter?

Yeah.

[Lee] Did you have any more run-ins with the police?

[Eugene] They had raided our house,

and they were looking for a phone.

Rocco's phone, I guess.

But they didn't find it?

No.

Because my brother didn't kill Rocco.

And, as we've already heard,

even though your brother didn't kill Rocco Baxter,

Rocco's brother killed Kofi in jail.

How did you learn about that?

I, um...

I heard my mom crying in the other room.

She kept calling his name.

[Lee] What happened the following day?

Um...

The next day...

I went to go get us some food.

Because...

we hadn't eaten all day.

And I was walking back to the house...

...and it exploded.

[Lee] With your mother and your siblings inside?

Yes, ma'am.

[Lee] What did you think had happened?

Objection. Calls for speculation.

[Judge Doucet] Sustained.

What was going through your head

when you saw that your house was engulfed in flames?

That the Baxters did this.

[Jarek] Objection.

Your Honor, to call that speculation

is an understatement.

There was an investigation

and a police report that concluded

that the explosion of the Jones home was an accident.

The result of a gas leak.

[Judge Doucet] Sustained.

Strike the witness's last answer.

Members of the jury, you are to disregard

what the witness just said.

Eugene, were you ever made aware

of any investigations into the death of your family?

[Eugene] No.

How do you feel about the same police department

that falsely accused your brother of killing Rocco Baxter

also failing to uncover the truth

about your family's death?

Objection.

Your Honor, this is a ploy by counsel

to engender sympathy for her client

by mischaracterizing the deaths of a mother and her children.

They have names.

[Judge Doucet] What did you say, Mr. Jones?

Everyone keeps saying...

..."mother and her children."

Can you tell me what you found out?

Yeah, absolutely.

We went to, um, Entergy New Orleans this afternoon.

Checked the records.

The Jones family hadn't paid their gas bill in months.

Eugene was right. The gas was turned off seven weeks

before the explosion.

On top of that,

the investigation into the explosion

was headed by Lieutenant Brendan Cusack.

I'm pretty sure he's Baxter-owned.

So, if Eugene agrees to be a cooperating witness

against the Baxters, the federal government

will grant him protective custody.

I can't be sure that he witnessed

any criminal activity from the Baxters.

Well, then I guess I won't be able to call on him.

Then why?

Because I want to help this kid.

So no prison time?

You'll be free tomorrow.

Can I go back to Houston?

Eugene, you saw what the Baxters did to your family.

You'll never be safe in Houston,

or anywhere that people know where to look for you.

No one can know where you are, or who you are.

I can't give up my name.

It's the only part of them that I got left.

Hey. Look at me.

Regardless of what anyone calls you,

you will always be Kofi's brother and Female's son.

You'll always be Eugene Jones,

because that name is a part of who you are.

And no one can take that away from you.

The Justice Department has offered my client

witness protection.

[Jarek] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

This meeting was just a courtesy.

I'm looking forward to a new era in our special relationship.

[Little Mo] The whole city's ours.

Real soon, we're gonna be minting cash.

Can I help you?

Yeah. Any chance y'all looking for performers?

New owner's across the street.
