JAMES: Just gotta make sure they
didn't redecorate while I was gone.

(CHUCKLES)

(WHOOPING, CHEERING)

Just giving me a ride, huh?

Hey, we love you, man.

- Welcome back.
- (LAUGHS)

What are you doing here?

What do you mean, what am I doing here?

Couldn't miss your triumphant return.

And, you know, with everything
that went down, man, I, uh...

Thank you for saving my life.

Please. Other way, bro. Thank you.

Yeah.

Nice to see everybody's still
at it while the boss is out.

(LAUGHTER)

Almost everybody. Where's Walker?

Yeah. About that...

DENISE: Your honor, Thomas
Serano is clearly a flight risk.

GRAHAM: Oh, the bigger risk
to my client, Your Honor,

is the D.A.'s office and their
fabrication of police reports.

(SCOFFS) That A.D.A.
is no longer part of my office,

nor does that have any relevance

- to this case.
- I'll decide that, Counselor.

A.D.A. Walker's behavior
under your supervision, though

appalling, doesn't necessarily

warrant a dismissal
of Mr. Serano's charges.

- But Your Honor...
- However,

it certainly doesn't help
the state's credibility.

That, and given the fact

the defendant has only minor infractions

from over years ago...

I hereby grant Mr. Serano bail,

set at $ , .

(GALLERY MURMURING)

You did that.

I can't believe that just happened.

Look, we knew this case
wasn't bulletproof.

Yeah, I know, I know, and
I-I half expected this,

but now that Serano's actually
out, he's a thr*at to my family.

I understand. But
the best thing that we can do

for this case is remain
completely on the up-and-up.

Okay? I can't overstate that enough.

Yeah, I get it.

Do you? Because

your brother already
colored outside the lines

- to try and take down my husband.
- Okay,

- what are you getting at?
- I just need to know

that you're not gonna try
something similar with Serano.

And more to the point, I need
to know that I can trust you.

Okay? No lies, no omissions.

Just the truth.

Can you do that?

You know what,
if Micki taught me anything,

it's that the end doesn't
justify the means.

I'll go completely by the book.

Trust me. You have my word.

Ranger Walker.

- Let's not do this.

You should listen to your counsel.

It's been a while.

Tell me... how's the family?

Well, damn, she has got you trained.

Okay, that's enough.

Thomas, please.

Hey, Serano.

Now I'm watching you.

Yeah.

- Yeah, great, great.

- Never better.

(FORK CLATTERS)

GRAHAM: Dan Miller.

District attorney's husband.

Yeah, what about him?

It appears Earl Gibbons
made a substantial deposit.

We were also able
to gain access to his emails,

which suggest... he may have

passed off evidence that implicates you.

English.

Dan Miller may have video

that links you
to the Walker surveillance op.

With that, you're looking at
five years per count.

- Get off me.
- Ah...

The good news:

it's more than likely that
if Miller does have anything,

he hasn't shared it with his wife.

And how do you know that, smart guy?

Because you're eating a steak.

Miller may not be a problem.

He has a checkered past.

Even if he does have something, maybe...

a deal could be made.

Look, I don't make deals with vultures.

You find this, uh, Dan Miller.

You find out what he has,
you take it from him,

and you send his ass packing.
¿Entiendes?

As I live and breathe.

Ranger Walker.

Come, join us.

I highly advise against this.

No, no, no, no.
He can join us for a drink.

We can clear the air. Say our piece.

That is, while one of us still can.

All right. Yeah, don't mind if I do.

Uh, fair point...

we didn't get a chance to
finish our conversation, right?

Why don't you tell, uh,

your nanny and, uh, and the kiddos

to take a hike

so the adults can have
a little chat? Yeah?

Go.

Hey, out.

So, you got me all to yourself.

So where were we?

(WALKER CHUCKLES)

Uh, well...

(CLEARS THROAT)

I was gonna propose that you, uh...

... surrender.

- Just admit to everything

you've done, and maybe

you won't die behind bars.

Wow.

So, what...

is that it?

Wow, a man of your stature really

shouldn't be embarrassing
yourself like this.

Your, uh,

little brother...

... dealt me a
"get out of jail free" card.

So all I have to do is just

sit back,

wait for my day in court.

That's true. But...

... we both know you won't.

(CHUCKLES)

Right? You can't help yourself.

You're gonna mess up again, Serano.

You always do. And when you do,

next time, just know...

I'll be there.

Be seeing you.

Morning, kid.

Yeah, morning, Pops.

Hey, that isn't for me, right?

No. Here, take this.

long have you had this?

LIAM: Just this morning.

The video is in possession of my client,

who they won't give it up
without an immunity deal.

If we agree not to charge
for the illegal recording

and the wiretap, then we get the video,

which will end Serano.

Great.

Okay. So, so,

convince your client to turn it over.

My client also wants
to remain anonymous.

Only the judge and myself
will know who they actually are.

Not even the people in this room
can know their identity.

Herein lies the problem.

WALKER: Yeah. Um,

okay. Uh, well, I mean,
ultimately, this is your call,

but I think

we got to do whatever we can
to take Serano down.

Yeah, I know the stakes.

My client is very concerned

that their identity will leak.

And it's not lost on anybody

who watches the news what happens

when you try and testify against Serano.

Be that as it may, I am uncomfortable

giving blanket immunity to a shadow.

I say we do it. Serano had guys

casing the bungalow last week.

Sooner he's off the streets, the better.

Yeah. I agree with Cap.

Serano is a thr*at

completely dismantle.

Uh...

I don't like you, Dan.

- (CHUCKLES)
- And even though you tried to

screw over me and my family again,

you did your part, so I did mine.

I got your immunity
and your identity sealed.

We're square.

I know the only way

you could have gotten that hard drive

was if you were somehow
connected to Serano.

We both know that.

We also know that you're my lawyer,

so you gotta keep your mouth shut,

or else you're gonna be disbarred.

And just remember,

a few weeks ago, you were gonna be sh*t,

and I saved your life.

- Yeah.
- So we're not square.

In fact, you owe me
a hell of a lot more.

Yeah, about that.

Just one question.

When you sh*t Earl Gibbons in the back,

was that to save my life or yours?

Defense of others is one thing.

Committing m*rder to cover up a crime,

that's another.

Uh...

- hey, can you give me one sec, honey?
- Yeah.

I'll grab a table.

(ALT-ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

Congratulations, Ranger Walker.

Serano is no longer a thr*at.

Yeah. Thanks. Um...

Would have rather
seen him rot in prison.

Yeah. Me, too.

Is there, um, something
else on your mind?

Yes, actually. Uh...

Denise, you and I both know

who Liam's client was, right?

I can't say that I do, no.

Okay. Come on, Denise.

Liam's client didn't want
his identity kept from Serano.

He wanted his identity kept from us.

I went to the train station

because I knew whose plates to run.

And they weren't Serano's.

Careful, Counselor.

You're sleeping with the enemy.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Hey, uh, so,

- can I, can I ask you something?
- Sure.

GERI: All right. Let's
get this show started.

(APPLAUSE)

Hello, everyone. Thank you so much

for coming tonight.

We hope you enjoy this
very special performance

from Austin's own Sucker Punch.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Thank you. This performance is dedicated

to two special ladies in the room

who brighten our day.

("SLOW DIVE" BY ANDREW
ST. JAMES PLAYING)

- Rough night?
- No, ma'am.

You can call me Geri.

Yeah, I've seen this movie before, kid.

Been in it a few times myself.

Yeah, they've just known
each other longer.

Should that matter?

I just... It's whatever.

I-I do not care.

Well, for what it's worth,

um, I know what it's like.

Being the new kid in town,

- don't look like their parents.
- You're...

You're adopted, too?

People make a lot of
assumptions about us.

Which is why you have to put it
all out there for Stella.

Okay? Tell her exactly how you feel.

And don't leave it up
to being misunderstood.

Just like that? And then...
And then what?

I don't know.

But he's already made a move,
so... you better hurry.

You got this.

Yeah.

LIAM: All right, back to Serano.

Um, convoy's en route to Austin now.

Should be able to question him tomorrow.

No, I have my phone on me.
It's just a family thing.

Talk soon. Bye.

WALKER: I remember taking a lantern

into the barn, and leaving it there.

I know I did.

The fire in the barn, Marv's death...

It's my fault.

ABELINE: No, baby...
