[PENSIVE MUSIC]

I've worked both sides of the line

because while everyone
is entitled to a defense...

some people need to sit in a room

and think about what they've done.

You've likely made calls about me.

If not, you will.

And you're going to be told
that Carolyn's not good

at playing the game,

making me ideally suited for that bench.

ADRIANE: I respect that.

And I appreciate your résumé, Carolyn,

and all that you've accomplished.

But I probably don't need
to tell you that

this process is complicated.

In other words, in the eyes
of the governor,

nothing I just said matters a whole lot.

Like I said, it's complicated.

I get that, but here's the thing.

I can be an ally to you.

How can you do that exactly?

Be an ally?

I'd start by telling you you
should probably tell your boss

not to nominate any of his
country club buddy friends

or someone he thought he knew well.

Diane Rogers, for example,

who then turns out to be

dirtier than
the Playboy Mansion jacuzzi.

You wanna explain this?

You wanna tell me
what it is Internal Affairs

thinks they have?

Or do you all just wanna
sit there looking

like your prized poodle d*ed?

BRYL: Okay.

Maureen, your name is listed
next to payouts.

Dollar amounts corresponding to
trials that Judge Guy presided over,

trials in which a guilty conviction
was based on your testimony.

[LAUGHS]

[LAUGHING]

So you have nothing.

Let me tell you something.

The worst thing I've done recently

is put full cream in my coffee.

Dollars to f*cking donuts,

every one of you
does more dirt every day

before I'm even out of bed
making lunches for my kids.

And you wanna sit here and accuse me?

Of what?

Being in league
with a world-class assh*le

like Judge Guy?

Yeah, you think that's gonna hold up?

Some scribblings in some bullshit book?

Well, I'm telling you
right now, it's not.

It's nonsense,
and I hope you remember that

when you next catch your
f*cking face in the mirror

and think about your time
in these streets

and what you did to keep
people safe at night.

Now, I want my lawyer,
and I want my union rep.

And in the meantime...

You all can go f*ck yourselves.

Okay.

CAROLYN: If creatures came down
from another planet,

they would wonder what kind

And after they got done
with their probing

and their cataloging...
they still wouldn't know.

This was Jamal's dream.

He wanted his place to stand out

from everybody in the neighborhood.

He... he had to have a pool.

He insisted on us heating that pool

even in the dead of winter.
