My father was part of a special envoy
to France at the end of the war.

Was quite influential with some of the
language in the Treaty of Versailles.

You don't say?

President Poincare gave him this bottle
from the personal collection of Napoleon.

There's an inscription by him
on the inside of the label.

See what it says?
A la victoire.

- Yeah, I don't speak...
- To victory.

It's good.

- Where are you from, Peter?
- It's Pete.

- San Bernardino.
- San Bernardino.

- Were you on the force out there?
- For a few years.

L.A. must've been a nice step up
from that place.

More bang for your buck in this city.

I'd say a lot more.

- What's this?
- Your bonus.

I don't need to know
the particulars of how you did it.

But I just wish you could have seen
the look on Mason's face

when I told the judge.

Pretty sure I could picture it.

Sincerely though.

The loyalty that you've shown to me in
this office is gonna go a long way, Pete.

Yeah.

Another belt?

Nah. Wasted on a guy like me.

- Good morning.
- He's running a few minutes late.

Did you really think
I wouldn't figure this one out?

Oh my god.

I would say it would be worth you
spending some time in law school,

but after this meeting,
it might be a moot point.

Fuck you, Milligan.

Off to an auspicious start, I see,
Mr. Mason.

- Anything I need to know about?
- Anything that I do?

Sit, sit.

I spent a good part
of the night looking further into this,

and I could not find a single precedent
to base a decision in this matter on.

Nor do I care to.

What in God's name were you thinking?

l was just doing what I thought
was best for my clients.

That's an interesting way
of going about it.

Judge, the citizens of this city
are on edge.

They want justice, and they deserve it.

And part of that justice is making sure

that it's known that Mr. Mason needed
to conceal evidence

in order to hide the fact that his clients
murdered McCutcheon.

Now, I think that charges of accessory
after the fact are a fitting consequence.

Yeah, save the histrionics for the jury.

You've created quite a shit show,
my friend.

I'm ready to declare a mistrial.

Your honor,
a mistrial wouldn't serve anyone.

I think all parties agree we need to bring
this to a conclusion of some sort.

We can try this again.
I'm not worried.

Your Honor, if news of the gun
were made public,

it would taint any jury going forward.

Then maybe you shouldn't
have hidden it.

All right, all right.
Now, here's what we're going to do.

Your office will put together a brief
outlining two things:

a plan for going forward with the trial

and the charges you plan
to bring against Mr. Mason.

This will include an argument for making
the gun admissible.

And I do not want one leak
about this gun.

Brief on my desk Friday morning.
That's all.

Need some help?

No, I'm good. Thanks.

Thank you.

I'm busy.

Perry Mason's office.

One moment.
It's Pete Strickland.

Hey.

You ever drink cognac?

- Not really, no.
- Pussy punch is what they should call it.

Is that what they're drinking down
at the D.A.'s office to celebrate?

Listen...

I don't like leaving things
bad between us. I just...

Sometimes I get myself pulled into things,

and I don't feel good about it.

But I do it anyway.

Yeah, I've been there.

Anyway, I just needed you to hear
that from me.

You broke into our safe.

You shouldn't have made it so easy.

How did I make it easy?

You never even changed the
combination? E.B.'s birthday?

How could you fucking betray me
like that?

- Betray you?
- Yeah.

Betray you? After all the shit that you
fucking dragged me through, Perry?

Don't start that again.
Don't fucking start that again.

Don't fucking tell me what to start
and not start. You know what?

- We've been through this.
- You've been through this?

Shut the fuck up. Scram.

Just get back on your tricycle
before you embarrass yourself.

Get off me!

So... what are we gonna do
about the case?

There's nothing to do. I'm gonna
get disbarred and thrown in jail.

So that's it? Doesn't sound like you.

I've got this one long shot.

Clickety-clack.

If I can piece together
some fucking bizarre evidence,

I could possibly take down some
of the biggest names in this city.

So let's do it.

Della, you know how long
this meeting is gonna take?

I hate leaving that corner
unmanned for too long.

- So still nothing?
- No.

Do you think Ozzie could've lied?

No. No, Della, I can guarantee
there's no chance of that.

Oh, no. No, no, no.
You've got to be fucking kidding me.

- I know this isn't ideal.
- No, it's far from ideal, Perry.

Mason thought you all could use
an extra hand.

And this is what you brought us?
I'm not working with him.

Nothing's keeping you here.

He is here to make amends
because he was the...

Perry. Perry. Yeah, no, don't.

Because he was the one
who broke into our safe.

What?

I'm not surprised.
Trash is trash. That's my point, Perry.

You son of a bitch.
What the hell were you thinking?

- Ease up, you two. Ease up.
- Stop.

Dirty fucking cracker.

You just call me a cracker?

- You heard me.
- No, I heard you.

I heard you.
You want to take it outside?

- What are you gonna do?
- Stop, stop.

I'll go. Let's go right now.
Stop it!

- What do you what to do about it?
- Man, you shut the fuck up!

- Let's go outside, Strickland...
- Stop it! What is wrong with you?

You want to lose two fights today?
Be my guest.

This is my responsibility. All of it.

But I'm gonna ask all of you for your help

'cause I think we owe those brothers
everything we've got until Friday morning.

Friday morning, Pete Strickland is fair
game. You do to him whatever you want.

Whatever you want.

Okay.

Della, he's the only one
who knows what Milligan's got.

God, fuck...

Thank you. Shut the fuck up.

All right. With that said...

Della,
what's going to ask for from this brief?

He's gonna make arguments to have the
case continue with the gun in evidence.

Right. And that thing will drop
on Durkin's desk in less than two days,

so let's forget about where we were.

Let's start with
where we are, all right?

What do we know?

I'm told your emperor is fond of horses.

Yes. Shirayuki is Emperor Hirohito's
most cherished possession.

A good steed can give joy
and pride like nothing else can.

If he's ever looking for more,
I recently put an Arabian out to stud.

A perfect specimen.

It'd be an honor to give it to the emperor
as a gesture of my appreciation.

You're very kind but not necessary.

Gentlemen.

Now that we've gotten all the
pomp and circumstance out of the way...

Our government may be placated
for the time being,

but I think it's evident
to both our companies

that these shipping restrictions
will only continue to tighten.

Perhaps the three of us can discuss
setting up our own operations in Japan,

so we never have to worry
about another hiccup again.

Yes, I think that would be
in all of our best interests.

I look forward to speaking with you
gentlemen again soon.

What the hell was that?

It was difficult to speak with
our business partners from my seat.

It would've been rude to go the whole
meal without saying hello.

Come now, Lydell,
there's no conspiracy here.

We all want the same thing
out of this deal.

Can't we forget about business for a
moment and just speak as friends?

- Friends?
- Yes.

Lydell, all those unpleasant truths about
Brooks that were made so public in court.

I can only imagine your shame.
But this will pass. People will move on.

My grandsons won't.

They'll wake up without a father
every day for the rest of their lives.

And their lasting memory of him

will be his name on the front pages
of the paper as a deviant.

Today's newspaper wraps
tomorrow's fish.

You have the power
to make people remember Brooks

the way you want him to be remembered.

And what do you suggest
in your infinite wisdom?

Well... a monument

or something that could depict Brooks

in whatever you think is his best
light as opposed to all this ugliness.

It could serve as a beautiful tribute
to your son.

What do you know of beauty,
you fucking barren spinster?

You've said enough.

Of course.

An act of the most egregious
moral turpitude, period.

Furthermore, comma, the defense
counsel's conducts violates...

What are you doing here?

Remember the night
of the lightning storm?

At the Adam and Eve?

Your friend, the architect,
stumbled over to our table and...

I do, and voice down.

What did I say when he left?

Yeah, you said...

"And here I thought I was the only
modern architecture enthusiast around."

That was the best night.
To know I wasn't alone.

What is this, Della?

I'm concerned.

- About?
- You.

If someone leaned on you
to offer us that plea deal,

if they're still leaning on you...

Stop it. Stop it.

Honestly,
I don't know if I'm more offended

that you would exploit our friendship
to try to win a case

or that you actually thought this I'm
concerned move would work on me.

I am concerned.
And I want to finish what I started.

It is finished.

No, it's more than the gun
and the brothers, and you know that.

You had one good day in court.

Do you think that means
you can change the world?

Ham, I'm looking for the truth.

You won't like it.

Blackmail?

By whom? Lydell?

I don't know who it is.

Ham...

I'm so sorry.

I am so careful, and they still got in.

You cannot and should not
go poking into this.

It's not worth it.

If we can figure out who's behind the
blackmail, we can hit them back.

Christ, you're starting to sound
like Mason. Accept defeat gracefully.

- Let the feds handle the rest.
- Feds?

Why would the feds handle anything?

Just let it go.

Anything else?

Where is Rafael?

They're not letting him see visitors.

- Is he okay?
- He's fine.

- Mr. Mason told us that they found...
- I know.

I still cannot understand

how you could have done
such a stupid thing.

Such a horrible thing.

That's what a person does
when they don't have any other options.

I had so much hope for you two.

For the futures you had.

Take it.

He got accepted to art school.

I didn't even know he applied.

I'll let you decide if you want
to give it to him or not.

He's become a liability.
I don't like it.

You saw him at the lunch.
He snapped at me out of nowhere.

That sort of display is frowned upon,
especially amongst the Orientals.

Perhaps he doesn't like it when
you undercut him in public.

Which reminds me.

Did you remember to send our Japanese
friends an invitation to the concert?

It was hand-delivered to the embassy
this morning.

Anything on your mind, Phippsy?

I'm fine.

No, you're not. You're distant.

If you're not pleased with my work,
you should say so.

Don't be paranoid.

All I'm suggesting is...
you seem tired.

Yes, well, the sun never sets
on the Nygaard Empire.

I've been thinking...

I wonder if there's room
for Della Street in our office.

- What do you know, fucko?
- God damn it.

Take a look.
Place is swarming with inspectors.

Really?

Who knew the federal government
cared so much about produce?

Come on. You tellin' me this
is all about price gouging?

Yeah. Does the DA know that you're
moonlightin' for the other side?

Does your wife know you're
moonlightin' as an asshole?

All right. How often
do these boats leave port?

No idea. My guy in the fed office
says they always leave at night.

So clearly, they don't want people to see
what they're dumping.

- Any idea where they're headed?
- Some port in Japan.

We got to get on that boat.
Get a better look.

Figure out why
they're dumping all that veg.

And that's my cue.

- It's been lovely, gentlemen.
- Thank you.

Say, think we can pass for deckhands?

Did you hear what he said?
It's headed to Japan.

Yeah, but they gotta be dumping it close
to shore; otherwise, it wouldn't wash up.

So we go, see why, grab a lifeboat,
and get outta there.

All right, let's try.

I'd lose the leather jacket.

What? What?
What if I'm freezing on the boat?

Ever known a deckhand
to wear leather?

- Hey, Mason.
- What?

- Put that on.
- It's still gonna be fucking freezing.

- Just put it on.
- Shut up.

- Hey, you feel that?
- What?

- Feels like we're stopped.
- Release the bow!

I told you it wouldn't be far.

- Clear the halyard.
- Here we go.

Holy shit, Perry.
It's another fucking boat.

Oh my god.

Would you look at that?

- That's black gold, Perry.
- Yeah. That's a lot of oil.

What the hell you think
they're doing with it?

I don't know,
but we don't have time to find out.

We gotta get the fuck
off this thing. Let's go.

Mase, lifeboat.

What? Those things hold 40 people.
You don't think we'll get noticed?

Shit.

You know what? I can still make out the
shore from here. We ain't that far.

We just got to grab one of them crates
that they threw over the side.

What? Hold on. Hold on.
You're not suggesting we swim back?

I don't know...
Either that or learn Japanese.

God damn it!

Hey. We'll be on land in an hour tops.

Holy fucking god.

You thought stealing a horse
was going too far?

- Hey.
- Hey.

- What are you doing here?
- How else am I supposed to see you?

You left before breakfast.

Thank you.

Clara.

I don't need the hows and the whys.

You want to keep it locked up, fine,
I'll respect it.

Clara, I'm just up to my neck on this one,
and I don't want you drowning, too.

Paul, if you drownin', I'm drownin'.

So whatever happened, I don't need you
treating me like I was the one who did it.

You're right.

It's just...

Clara, the choices I made,
they used to have fewer consequences.

They didn't have this long reach.

What does that mean?

It means I'm scared, Clara.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Listen...

Come here.

You look tired.

I'm not gonna fight you on that one.

Maybe you should rest a while.
I could watch the corner.

- No, no, no.
- Why? What?

What? It's a bad idea, Clara.
It's dangerous.

How so? I'm just watching and writing.
You need to rest.

Something happens in the next hour,
trust me, I'll wake you.

Fine.

- We're looking for...
- Old white man in a fancy red car.

Clara.

I know. White girl. Blue sedan. Now
shut your mouth and close your eyes.

Okay. Okay.

Thank you, Clara Drake.

What is this?

It's passage on the Santa Paula
to Havana.

Why am I going there?

Because you won't accept reality,
and I have no other choice with you.

I'll tell Elizabeth and the boys
it's for the company.

If this is about announcing the team
at the soup kitchen,

you have to trust me that...

Every time I tell you to do something,

it blows through your ears
like the goddamn wind.

There are other people who matter
in all yourfuck-ups.

What other people?

This is about the subpoena.

You will get on that boat,
you will stay in Havana,

and you will not come back
until I tell you to.

Concentrate on your charity work.

- What?
- Those were your words to me.

And that's what I did...

taking all that produce
you were greedily wasting.

Feeding a nation that's starving.

I think the feds would understand that.

I didn't tell you about it, but what
are we talking here? A fine at worst?

But this illegal oil deal
you have going...

Yeah. I have nothing to do with that.

I mean, you made it very clear I was to
have nothing to do with your business.

My hands are clean.

So, I'm not so sure I'm the one with the
real fuck-ups right now, am I, father?

I don't think I'm going anywhere.

From what I understand,

Brooks McCutcheon was under federal
investigation before his death.

And the Bureau said you were the man
to see about the matter.

Brooks was doing business

with a produce distributor
named Charlie Goldstein.

He certainly was.

Two of them made a nice little piece
of change

selling produce around the country.

Trouble is,
they neglected to notify us first.

Do you think they knew you were
investigating them?

Think the subpoenas probably
tipped 'em off, yeah.

Brooks and Goldstein were subpoenaed?

Called to testify before a grand jury.
Neither one made it.

Is the case file confidential?
Do you have access to it?

Yes. And yes.

- Just a moment.
- Of course.

What?

Nah, I'm just remembering
the first time you assisted me...

that rent party around the corner
from here.

How long had you been on the force,
about a week?

No, five days.

The first big assignment
I had on my own,

and he said Drake,
your people too loud.

You've got to go down
there and break that up.

But I walked through that door

and see the most gorgeous woman
I've ever seen.

She is dancing.

Oh my goodness, in a way that make
the good Lord blush.

You such a liar.

Then you get right up in my face.
You remember what you said?

I never forgot.
I said, "Look here, cop.

"Either you start moving your feet
to this beat,

"or you take your Black ass back
out on that street."

Oh, Clara Drake...

I'm so happy that I started moving my
feet with you and not out that door.

- Til them other police came.
- I know.

And you had to duck out that back
bedroom window

with your pants around your ankles.

Paul.

That's her.

Okay.

That's it.

It must have been a hard...

- I thought you were Mr. Denning.
- Mr. Denning had an emergency.

He won't be coming back
to the office today.

- But he was just...
- That'll be all, Miss Street.

Mason & Associates.

Marion, it's Della. I need
to speak to Perry. It's urgent.

Della thinks Brooks was taking the
produce that Lydell was dumping

and selling it on the black market.

Another losing scheme by
the bumbling prince of the city.

Yeah, but the feds got wind of it.

So they subpoena him and Goldstein
to testify about the scam.

And someone's worried that's not the
only thing they'll testify about, huh?

Ain't that the truth.

So then why the big charade?

Why pretend to send veg to Japan
and sneak on all that oil?

That I don't know. Maybe he's trying
to hide his profits from the government?

Yeah.

- May I offer something?
- Yeah, of course.

Could it be possible the Japanese
are using the oil for their military?

- Who are they at war with?
- Oh my god.

They've taken over Korea, Manchuria...
China will probably be next.

See, it's here.

League Member Nations
call for embargoes on Japan.

And McCutcheon clearly wouldn't
want anyone knowing

he was selling oil to them.

Making buckets
of cash under the table.

And Brooks' little side scam was shining
a very bright light on Daddy's bigger one.

So, Daddy needed to extinguish
that light.

If that's true, that means...

Lydell really did have
his own son killed.

Clara, you wait here.

Paul, you can't go up to that house.
Not around here.

So what do I say?

How about I'm a maid looking for work?

No, no, no, Clara.
We've got to get a name.

How 'bout you're Jehovah's Witness?

I don't know nothing about those people.

Clara, Clara, all you've got to do,
ask for a donation.

Then you ask for their name

so you can inscribe them into the
Kingdom of Heaven.

Clara, you sure about this?

Hell no.

Be careful.

- Hello?
- Hello?

Ma'am, I was wondering
if I could have a moment of your time.

Come in.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Ma'am?

Ma'am?

I know you.

You do?

You're Josephine Baker.

No, ma'am.

You're such a beautiful negro, Josephine.

Have you come to dance for me?

Let me play you something.

Ma'am?

Pull!

You're anticipating, Phillip.

Wait until the pigeon is at the high point
of its trajectory.

And don't lean back so much.
Weight forward. Watch.

Pull!

See what I mean?

You should listen to your grandfather.
He knows plenty about hitting targets.

What are you doing here, Mason?

Just returning something you dropped.

- Phillip.
- Yes, sir?

Go play.

This whole time

I thought you were worried about
protecting your son's name,

but you were just protecting
your profits.

Now, don't get me wrong,
I'm a lousy dad.

But I would do anything
to protect my son.

- Just get to what you want.
- I want a fair deal for my clients.

- And just how am I supposed to do that?
- You work that out with Burger.

But you bring us something
better this time

because if you don't,

if I'm suddenly no longer around
when this offer is completed,

then all my research goes to the FBI
and the press,

telling them that you've been feeding
the fish more fruits and vegetables

than you have people
in your own soup kitchen.

- No.
- No, no. I can tell them more.

I can tell them a whole lot more.

How you illegally schemed
with the Japanese to sell them oil.

And how you had such little faith in your
own son not to tell people about it

that you paid to have him executed.

I did nothing but try to save him!
But he wouldn't let me.

And you and everyone else made it
impossible to protect his name.

I won't take the blame for this.

Hey! Hey, you in the car.

- Afternoon, ma'am.
- You can't just park here.

I'm just waiting for my wife.

She works in the kitchen in one of them
houses over there.

- I've never seen you here before.
- I know. She just started.

She should be out, any second now, and
then we gonna be right out your way.

Thank you, ma'am.

Shit. Come on, Clara.

Shit.

I'm home.

Any interest in going
to Perino's this evening?

I ran into Gerald Nance, who said that he
and his wife were headed there...

Constance!
Constance! Constance!

Constance! Oh, god damn it!

How much did you use? Constance!

Fuck!

I need an ambulance sent to the Phipps
residence. 820 North Canon Drive.

820 North Canon Drive.

Yes. Yes, I understand. Please hurry.

- Are you okay?
- Paul, drive.

Brooks was clearly a liability to you.

How are you not to blame for his death?

Because I didn't want it, god damn it!

Then who did?

Rafa?

Rafa?

Pardon the interruption, Miss Nygaard.
From this afternoon.

Get Mr. Phipps on the phone.
