[sigh]

Asa?

Yes, Mrs. Harris?

Where's Pernell?

- Judge Harris...
- Judge Harris...

Judge Harris, is it true that
you've been seeing a neurologist?

[reporters shouting questions]

Bloodsucking vultures.

Hey, Pernell, you look
like you could use a laugh.

So there's this guy Johnson,
who's going to prison.

So he's rattled because
he's heard stories

of what happens to
people like him in there.

He gets his jumpsuit.
He gets his blanket,

and he gets his toothbrush.

And then... his worst nightmare.

They throw him into a cell

with this big-ass dude named Bubba.

So Bubba says...

"We're gonna play house

"in this cell.

"Do you want to be the mommy,

or do you want to be the daddy?"

And Johnson sees a way out.

He puffs up his chest and
says "I want to be the daddy."

And Bubba says, "Okay, Daddy."

"Well, come on over here

and suck Mama's d*ck."

[laughing]

Fresh fish, ladies.

Fresh fish.

Tap your brakes, judge. Eating for two.

Mr. Harris, you're being charged

with violating Penal Code section .

for electronic monitoring.

That's why your parole
officer had you arrested.

Do you understand the
charges brought against you?

Yes, I do.

Do you wish to contest the charge?

- Yes, I do.
- All right.

We'll set it for hearing for Monday...

the th.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Uh, the people call for
revocation of bail, Your Honor.

- Granted.
- Hold on just a second.

Prisoner is remanded into custody.

I'm going to spend three days in jail?

- Your Honor, we can't do this now?
- Pernell.

The court is not going
to adjust its calendar

to suit you, Mr. Harris.

Judge Harris!

As a colleague, I think you owe me that.

My colleagues don't wear
ankle monitors, Mr. Harris.

Now, you can either take Monday,

or we can do it two weeks from now.

Monday?

That's what I thought.

Don't look at me like that.

You want a pat on the back?

She said I'm gonna have to
stew in jail for three days,

and you say thank you?

Were you expecting something
different out there?

Yeah. I was expecting you to
get the hearing set for today

so I could have slept
in my own f*cking bed.

You're like a piñata.
They hit you with a stick,

and you still sh*t candy.

It doesn't matter.

You're not getting your bail reinstated.

You don't know that.

They have pictures of
you on the Bay Bridge.

Pernell, we're going to lose.

Don't... Don't wave that flag yet.

I could tell them I had an
important reason for leaving.

I didn't have time to get permission.

I'm not talking about
the parole violation.

They have motive.

You think Caldwell r*ped
your daughter-in-law.

I know he did.

They have your DNA on Caldwell's body.

Then they have an eyewitness

that saw you dragging it
into Julio Farkas' backyard.

Pernell, it's all about perception.

Now, I'm going to say this,

and then I'm going to duck.

On the flip side,

there are dozens of
people, including doctors,

that would be willing to
say you're not yourself,

that you were delusional,
psychotic, even.

On the flip side, I didn't
f*cking m*rder anybody, Adam.

They got no w*apon.

We could poke holes in the DNA.

They got a guy said
he saw me dump a body,

but he didn't see me m*rder one.

It's all circumstantial, Adam!

I don't see why you're
looking to pull the rip cord!

Because we're free falling,

and I wouldn't be doing my job if I...

Doing your job? Like
you did it in there?

If you weren't such a
toothless cocker spaniel...

That's it!

Just tell me where I can send the files.

- Guard!
- Adam, come on.

- [door buzzes]
- Come on, sit down.

Find yourself another piñata.

f*ck.

[clatter]

[chuckling]

Jocelyn.

Yeah.

I asked you if you'd
been socializing at all.

Uh...

I guess. Yes. I don't know.

[scoff]

You don't know?

We talked about it.

Now you're to the point

where you don't even
come into my office.

Yeah. I know. Um...

I, um...

I feel like I'm being watched.

By who?

By you, by Asa,

by the mailman,

my neighbors, my dog.

I feel like the whole f*cking
world has an eye on me.

- That's all.
- [barking]

Shh! Stop! Stop!

Moonlight, no! No!

- God damn it!
- [barking]

God f*cking damn it, Moonlight!

[chuckling]

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Have you given any thought

to the exposure therapy
I told you about?

Yeah, I'm thinking about it, okay?

- I'm still thinking about it.
- Mm.

Still sleeping in your car?

What did Hoverman say?

Hoverman sat in jail
with his thumb up his ass

for three weeks after you
charged him with contempt.

Remember? So yeah. He's not interested.

How about Melnick?

How about Johnnie Cochran,

so long as we're talking dead guys?

How about Schulz?

How about digging the
sh*t out of your ears?

Rieder's the only decent lawyer in town

willing to defend you.

Make that was.

You think you can sweet talk him back?

I'll think of something.

Kessler came by with an address.

Said you'd know what it was for.

Hmm.

Make sure you can get that
to Keith Dennison, understand?

Ah, you're k*lling me, Pernell.

Make sure he doesn't do the
same thing with that witness.

Let the money do the talking,

not his f*cking Kn*fe, you understand?

Mm-ah.

Guard.

[door buzzes]

Hey, black guys,

you seen my capsule?

I'm looking for my capsule.
I got to find my capsule.

Oh.

You going to eat both of those?

Oh, yeah. That's a good one.

You want a taste?

I'm allergic.

How long, man?

days.

Swore to God.

One day at a time, sweet Jesus.

Hey, chef, you seen my capsule?

Get out.

Go on, be that way.

Major Tom don't care.

Uno Mundo, my butt!

How'd you know I was here?

Pernell asked me to put an alert

on your Jones account.

I get notifications
every time you order.

What did you get?

Honey.

So he knows I'm back.

Not yet.

You going to let me in?

If Pernell stopped on a dime,

it would take a day and a half

to dig cheap Toby out of his ass.

Why did he go to San
Francisco in the first place?

I don't know.

Is he going to get out?

Not if he doesn't get a new lawyer.

Rieder's quit.

Nobody in this town wants the gig.

He's made a lot of
enemies over the years.

And he's helped a lot of people, too.

Some forget too soon.

Look, Randy,

I don't mean to rush you,

but I have a guest coming for lunch,

and I would really like to be ready.

Well, maybe after lunch
you could go see him.

It would be good.

You don't have to
love him. Just show up.

He needs someone to talk sense into him.

He needs his wife.

He has two wives.

Why don't you ask the other one?

If you didn't come back for Pernell,

why are you here?

For my son. For PJ.

Oh, my God.

[soft piano music]

Pacific Sage raw honeycomb.

This is singular.

[chuckle]

I thought you'd like it.

Consider it my way of saying thank you

for making lunch on such short notice.

Honestly, I was curious.

Didn't even know you were in town.

Just got back this morning.

Just to see me?

In a way.

Hmm.

Have you filled Anne Wu's position?

Narrowed down the applicants,

but if you know anyone,
it's not too late.

I do. Me.

Crystal, this is going
to sound worse than it is,

but when people join Brooks Innovations,

their job comes first.
There is no second.

I hire hungry people who
I can shape and inspire.

Actually, that sounds
like age discrimination

or... [chuckle]... Wishful thinking.

No. Age is not an issue.

I just want blank slates,

people not distracted by
all the little big things.

By that you mean my
husband's legal problems?

That would qualify as a big big thing.

Mayor Boston, care to comment
on Pernell Harris' arrest?

- Ahem.
- [applause]

All right, all right.
What a good turnout.

What a good turnout. What's
the latest on Pernell?

Oh, uh, his bail revocation
hearing was set for Monday,

so he's at least in custody till then.

Oh, and his lawyer quit.

[sigh]

Okay.

All right, all right.

Good to see you.

Hey.

What a turnout. What a turnout.

I want to thank all of you for coming.

Thank you so much.

Now, many of you know

I'm a proud Harris High
Dragon class of ' .

Oo-ooh!

Oo-ooh!

Yes. I'm proud to be standing
in front of my alma mater

to announce the launch
of the Real Initiative.

This is a fully funded program
that will start next fall

with five of our most
challenged schools,

beginning with Eli Harris High School.

[cheering]

That's right. That's right.

Today you're going to
be hearing a speech,

but it won't be from me

because the Real Initiative isn't for me

or any of my boring friends
and fellow colleagues up here.

- [laughter]
- It's for you.

It gives me great pride

to introduce your Student Body President

Mr. Freddie Hampton.

[cheering]

Try not to upstage
Mayor Boston, all right?

Speak on it.

They say they're going
to fix this school.

- Yeah.
- Right.

New books, new paint, new technology.

- That's right.
- It's a dream come true.

I mean, it's been years

since Martin Luther King
said "I have a dream,"

but what's really changed?

Not when native people get

the same nightmare they've always had,

a nightmare that the
truth about black people

and the endless mechanism

of degradation and oppression
under which we suffer

hasn't reached Eli Harris High.

A living nightmare.

When we look at our reading
list for American Lit,

you know, they still want
us to read Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Lawd bless ye, yeah!

[hooting]

These critters ain't like
white folks, you know.

They gets over things.

Nah.

I have a nightmare every
time I hear the word "real."

Ahem. Okay, who picked
Malcolm X Junior to speak?

How can we keep it real

when Eli Harris High, the very school

we're taught to respect and compete for,

the school that wants
our undying loyalty,

is named after a devout
r*cist and segregationist?

Look, Eli Harris said,

"History and science have
returned an irrefutable fact."

"Colored people lack the aptitude"

"to learn at a normal rate."

[booing]

You know, if it was left
to our school's namesake,

% of us wouldn't even be here.

- Male student: Oh, man.
- Yes, but we are here.

We are here, and change
is about to happen.

- We are here.
- Look, you want to keep it real?

- Change the name.
- Students: Yeah!

- Change the name!
- Yeah!

Change the name!

[chanting] Change the
name! Change the name!

Change the name! Change the name!

Change the name! Change the name!

- Change the name!
- Thank you for coming.

Thank you so much for coming out.

Change the name! Change the name!

Change the name! Change the name!

Change the name! Change the name!

Change the name!

Going to change the name, Mayor?

- Gonna change the name?
- Please, no comment.

How you doing, judge?

I'm in jail.

Yeah.

I know it's hard, man.

Just, uh, take refuge in knowing

that God loves everyone,
even cop K*llers.

[scoff]

You want to know what I think about God?

He's full of this.

You think the Almighty lacks
the power to set you free?

Well, the, uh, keys to
the Kingdom of Heaven,

they hardly work in this sh*t hole.

Ye of little faith.

f*ck you!

Guard! Guard! [groan]

- Guard!
- They don't care about you.

He does.

You blasphemous doubting Thomas.

Do you believe

in the power and the glory

of the Almighty?

Here's my f*cking answer.

- You want God to save you?
- Go to hell!

You poor stupid soul.

You don't believe in God?

Who's going to save you?

...of this world,

and with that he could reach...

Don't tell me you think
that means something.

Did you catch the part

where he's talking about
men becoming too powerful,

how they start thinking like the devil?

No, I never heard him say that.

All I heard was some woman talking crazy

in the middle of her orgasm.

She was translating his tongues.

That something is going on with Pernell.

Okay, look, just lose it permanently.

- Receptionist: Ma'am...
- That's okay.

How are you doing, Valerie?

Not a good day,

but, uh, hopefully you
can make it a bit brighter.

Pernell. Look,

the spotlight on Pernell
it too bright right now.

It's not about Pernell.

I heard what transpired
today at your alma mater.

Hmm. And you...

You care more about some school protest

than Pernell bring in jail?

My nephew sowed his seeds.

We shall see what he reaps.

But the Harris family
legacy is bigger than him.

That is my concern.

Yeah. I understand.

Do you know what my
favorite book is, Robbie?

Let me guess.

Uncle Tom's Cabin.

The Great Gatsby.

The novel is quite beautiful.

A man, desperate to belong,

trying hard to reinvent his past.

You know, maybe I should
check it out again,

catch the movie or something.

What you should have checked out

was that young man's speech

before he gave it, don't you think?

Or maybe he had your blessing.

Well, maybe someone should have
vetted your grandfather's speech,

cut out the part where he
said black people are stupid.

This is all about some fired-up kid

popping up at the gums,

trying to increase his
social media status,

maybe sell a couple of T-shirts.

That's how they protest nowadays.

This will all blow over, I promise you.

I hope so, Robbie,

because I truly feel that
your family is one of us.

Understood.

Okay.

Please, God, just let
him take the money.

Take the money.

[car door slams]

[chatter]

You okay?

f*ck.

Oh, no.

Ohh.

[door buzzes]

Crys.

When'd you get back?

This morning.

[chuckle]

What happened?

You know,

I was just finishing up
my scotch at the Court Club

when SVPD's Finest
comes in with a warrant.

Guess I should have left sooner.

I kept thinking you'd show.

- You look tired.
- Well, what can I say?

It was a tough day.

Why did you go to San Francisco?

[grunt]

What?

Pernell, are you okay?

The CO gave me a b*at-down.

Everybody just let it happen.

You cannot do anything to incur...

Do you think I provoked this, Crys?

They think I'm a cop k*ller.

That's why I got to get
the hell out of here.

Who's your new lawyer?

I haven't figured that out yet.

The hearing's in two days.

I... I'll represent
myself at the hearing.

Oh, you're gonna rep...

How many people have done
that in your courtroom?

- Did they win?
- Crys,

I know the law, okay?

I... I f*cking wrote the law.

Pernell, look at yourself.

Look what you're wearing.

You're not special anymore.

Hey.

Come on back.

Uh, no. I'll make it quick.

My husband is heading to prison

for m*rder,

and my son is dead.

You say you need a blank slate?

I need something I
can pour my life into.

Come back tomorrow at a.m.

Okay.

And wear jeans.

Mm.

What do you want?

[dog growling]

[snarling]

[barking]

- [barking]
- Quiet.

Oh, f*ck, quiet, Moonlight, please.

[barking]

What is it? What do you see? What?

[barking continues]

It's nothing. It's just the wind.

[barking, whimpering]

f*ck. Stop barking, God damn it.

Stop barking!

[whimpering]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry. Come here.

God, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Come on. I'm so sorry.

Come here.

[door closes]

I'm the only one adding
names to the list.

You need to pitch in.

Pedro.

Pedro Stoljnak?

I don't think so.

Joke, Dawn. Joke.

Sandy.

Sandy's great

if you want people to think

he's some kind of h*m*.

Eddie, get serious.

What about Paul?

I always liked Paul as a boy's name.

We will add it to the list.

Did you take your prenatals?

And my vitamin D.

Great.

What about Alfred?

Big Al. I like it.

How many of those sandwiches

can she eat in one day?

She's a machine.

Hey.

Hi.

- Here.
- Beautiful animal.

Hi, baby.

Yes. Yes, of course you can kiss me.

Aw.

Hi, baby. Hi.

Aw.

You sure about this?

We urge new owners to
take at least three months

to get used to their pets.

I know. He's a really great dog.

It's just that, um... Very sweet.

It's just that he starts
barking and he doesn't stop,

and... and...

Yeah.

You know how this is probably
going to go for Moonlight, right?

No one's going to
want a two-time loser.

I'm sorry.

All right. Come here, baby.

Come here, Moonlight.

See? It wasn't so bad.

[whimpering]

All right. Go ahead.

Hi.

August Cacciatore.

Crystal Harris.

You here for the job?

Hello, hello.

The two of you had a chance to meet.

Want to tell us what's going on?

We're about to determine
who we want to hire.

See? A simple résumé and interview

just couldn't cut it, huh?

No, both résumés were stellar.

This is the interview,

and these... are optional.

What are those for?

Well, it's a game.

I'm sure you've seen it before.

You each pull on the rope,

and whoever gets to
their champagne first...

Is this for your
amusement or your pleasure?

This is to decide who fits best
in the Brooks Innovations culture.

Over a game of tug of w*r?

We're not trying to be firefighters.

I'm fine with it.

Well, you shouldn't be.

Why should we be tied
to old-fashioned ways

of determining who's the best for a job?

Crystal, we do things differently here.

If that offends you,

I'm sorry we've wasted your time.

Give me the f*cking gloves.

Ready?

Set?

Pull!

Aah! Oh!

Brava, Crystal.

I'm... I'm good.

I imagine it must have
seemed a little outlandish

but we here at Brooks
have a particular aversion

for tradition.

This is one of the
ways we evaluate talent.

Well, I get it.

That's one of the ways I celebrate.

Oh.

See you Monday.

All right, guys.


Be careful. Watch your step.

Watch your step.

Thanks.

Thank you.

God bless. Take care, okay?

All right, buddy.

All right, let's get going.

[humming]

Sir, you left your backpack.

Oh. Thanks.

I'd be out grand if I left it.

Ooh.

That's a lot of money.

Yeah, I won it at the track.

Lucky guy.

No, not really. I got a friend

who's got a gift for picking winners.

We could all use a
friend like that, right?

I don't even know what to do with it.

Never had cash like that.

Champagne problems, right?

What would you do with grand?

- Me?
- Yeah.

I don't know. I got two kids.

Probably buy a house.

Maybe put some away for college.

They're both real smart.

You married?

years.

But she's easy.

She doesn't like fancy.

I don't, either. I
don't care about money.

I care about my friends.

Hey, that's how it should be.

Friends and family first, right?

Yeah. My friend now, the
one who picks the winners,

he's in big trouble now

over something that's not his fault.

I'd gladly leave this money right here,

walk off this bus, and never look back

if I knew he'd be okay.

We could all use a friend like you, huh?

Ha ha ha.

For you.

How'd you find me?

Uh, you found me.

You picked me up.

I'm not talking to you. I won't lie.

You don't have to lie.

Just whatever you think you saw,

just keep it to yourself.

Think I saw?

No, I know.

You're never going to get
those kids through college

driving a bus.

There.

It's all yours.

Take it!

Yeah.

But I'll be able to
look them in the eye.

Get off my bus.

Take your backpack with you.

This isn't my stop.

[no audible dialogue]

[gasp]

Woo

[whistling]

[door opens]

You b*at on me, you better k*ll me,

'cause I'm going to see you go down.

Do you know what it's like

to serve a long sentence, judge?

Jesus did.

He was only on that
cross for three hours,

but it must have felt like an eternity.

He paid in blood for
, years of sins.

Your sins.

You want to hurt me, judge?

You wouldn't be the first.

I've been bitten, kicked,

stabbed, shanked.

You want proof?

I don't give a sh*t about you.

Lifer.

Did it with an a* blade.

- Give me your hand.
- f*ck you.

I said give me your hand!

f*ck you!

You know, I heard the last thing PJ did

before he swallowed that b*llet

was call your cell phone.

What do you think he wanted to tell you?

Get out of here!

What did your pillow say to you?

What...

No, no, no.

It spoke to you. What did it say?

"Please help me."

"Somebody please help me."

That's what you heard, didn't you?

Was it PJ?

Was it PJ after you
didn't answer his call?

Or was it you talking to God?

You enjoy hearing people
beg for their own lives,

but you refuse to hear
the voice of your only son.

[sobbing]

The voice of the Almighty.

Please leave me alone. Leave me alone.

Please, please spare me.

Only God can save you
from scratching and clawing

on the hem of existence cold and alone,

locked in this...

cage,

while other men are free

to hold and fondle your beautiful wife.

You're alone for the rest of your life.

Face the truth.

And what's the truth, judge?

[knocking]

What is the truth?

You could have prevented PJ's death.

You son of a bitch.

Circumcise, therefore,
the foreskin of your heart

and be no longer stubborn!

Tell me you believe in
the power of the Almighty.

[click]

There's one b*llet in the cylinder.

Do you believe in the
power of the Almighty!

[click]

Aah! Aah! I believe! I believe in God!

- Do you believe?
- I believe.

Do you love Him?

I love Him! I love God!

[sobbing]

May the Lord be with you, Pernell.

[panting]

[door opens]

[door closes]

Mike, we warned you,

but you wanted to keep working.

How'd the psycho find me?

I think he may have
tracked you from here.

- Are you f*cking kidding me?
- Easy, easy.

We're making arrangements to move you.

You're taking a state-paid
vacation from work,

and you'll be in a new
place within hours.

In the meantime, you'll
be protected / .

Mike.

Can you tough this out?

Yeah.

Okay.

Good.

Good.

- [muffled scream]
- Shh. Alicia.

It's me. It's me. It's me.

Shh. Shh.

What are you doing here?

I love you.

Okay.

Are you high?

No. No, no, no.

You have to get out of here now.

I was high,

but I'm not high now, I promise.

I want us to be a family.

You are high.

Alicia.

I've never been more clear
in my entire crazy life.

I want you.

I want our baby.

And I want us to be together.

With the people at the church?

Forget about the church.
We are the church.

I sure love you.

And I love our baby.

I love you so much.

[door opens]

Ed: Alicia?

W-What are you doing?

Hey! Get off her!

Get away from her!

- I said get...
- No! No! He's my pastor!

Aah!

[gasp] Aah!

No!

[screaming]

My God, what the f*ck have you done!

Is this seat taken?

You here to gloat?

No. I'm here to defend you.

Why in the f*ck would
I ever agree to that?

The first time you open your mouth,

Stanton is gonna ram her
d*ck into your Adam's apple.

Now why wouldn't you say yes?

Well, you did f*ck my wife.

No. You f*cked your wife

the minute you married that
K-a-night piece of chocolate cake.

I slept with your wife.

But you're the one who f*cked her.

And now you're going to
do the same to yourself.

So you feel that way,

but I'm supposed to believe
you're going to help me.

I already did. How do you think

your case got called first?

And I can get your bail reinstated.

You want out of here or not?

Who called you? Randy?

[door closes]

Judge Stanton: Good morning, Mr. Harris.

Mr. Tremble. You are...

Representing the defendant, Your Honor.

Good.

Now what's your client's excuse

for breaking the law, counselor?

No excuses. Judge Harris' actions

are well within the stipulations
of his bail, Your Honor.

Therefore, we motion to have my client's

previous terms of
house arrest reinstated.

Oh, for God's sake, dream on, Nick.

You're saying he didn't run?

Judge Harris was arrested at
a restaurant in San Vicente,

which is where he lives.

Does that sound like he's running?

We're not here because
he went to dinner.

We're here because of his
little jaunt to San Francisco.

Your Honor, we have photos

of the defendant on the Bay Bridge.

- Are those photos time-stamped?
- Absolutely.

The evidence is indisputable.

I think I can save us a ton of time.

Your Honor, may I approach?

This is a copy of Mr.
Harris' bail agreement.

I flagged the part that matters.

According to the terms
of his house arrest,

Judge Harris is entitled
to go anywhere in the county

during work hours. I'm glad
those photos are time-stamped.

: p.m.

That is well within the parameters

of my client's duly
reported hours of work.

Hold on. It has to be work related.

The defendant is not currently
adjudicating any cases,

and if he were,

they'd be right here in this building,

- not San Francisco.
- Your Honor,

I have a signed affidavit
from Judge Harris' clerk,

Miss Randy Wilkins, who is here

and ready to testify

that Judge Harris went to San Francisco

to do research.

Research. That's part
of the job description.

Am I right, Judge Stanton?

Your Honor, I don't care

if Mr. Harris went to Mexico
to talk law with El Chapo.

The fact of the matter is
he removed his ankle device.

It was a clear act of deception

and contrary to the terms of
his electronic supervision.

The DA makes a point, counselor.

That device isn't a swatch watch.

It's supposed to stay on.

Without question, Your Honor.

And here is a list of
documented cases

of electronic monitors malfunctioning

during the course of
the past three years.

Now we're just talking about
the cases in California.

Your Honor, nobody said anything

about the device malfunctioning.

You never asked.

All right, I'm accepting
counsel's motion

to reinstate conditions of bail

with one adjustment.

No more leaving the city
limits for any reason.

[gavel pounds]

Looks like you dodged
a b*llet, Mr. Harris.

Judge.

Judge Harris.

Every time I mention Anne Wu's name,

Crystal looked like she
wanted to sh*t a starfish.

Then she pretended Anne just
disappeared from the party

after the concrete pour.

But I have video of them
leaving the ceremony together

in Crystal's car.

You're saying she lied to you.

She lies about seeing Anne.

Then Anne vanishes,

and who ends up with Anne's job?

And there's more, okay?

There's a lot more.

All right, all right.

Take a breath.

What else?

Anne Wu ran point

on acquiring a piece of
software from PJ Harris.

Bathwater.

I think Crystal Harris refused to sell,

and I think Anne couldn't accept that.

I think Anne hired some
people to steal the software.

I found suspicious payments from Anne

to vendors I've never heard of.

Turns out they don't exist.

Anne knew what that software was worth.

Maybe she even had a buyer lined up.

But here's the connective tissue.

You know who Jocelyn Harris is, right?

I'm presuming she's a Harris relative.

PJ's wife, Crystal's daughter-in-law.

She was r*ped.

She was r*ped during the time

Anne Wu was making those
mysterious payments.

Maybe it was some kind of
extortion or, uh, cover.

I don't know.

But there's got to be something there.

Look, I am sure that
these things are related.

And Anne Wu covered her tracks so well,

she must have had a partner

working with her inside the company.

Nathan needs to be informed.

There was someone in the
company working with her.

f*ck.

Something's still in there.

It's driving me f*cking insane.

Can you see if something's in my eye?

Move back.

- Do you see anything?
- Mm-mm.

I know. I know.

It's the air.

[groans]

dr*gs would have been less painful,

but they can be discovered.

[gasping]

I'm sorry about that, Guy.

Thank you.

I did not like seeing you in there.

You should have tasted the bologna.

[chuckle]

You hungry?

I already called the Court Club.

Our table's waiting.

Pernell...

It's going to be better now.

I'm not having any visions.

You're here.

It's going to be better.

I'm here, but I'm not here for you.

Oh.

Then for what?

PJ.

That Bathwater software
was his life's work,

and I need to know what happened to it

for his sake.

PJ's gone, Crys.

We're here, you and me.

Let's find out what happened to that.

I'll be checking into
a hotel in the morning.

Crys.

You stay. I'll, uh...

I'll find someplace else.

Thank you.

This is what happens to sinners.

You lied, Pernell.
