You could've had so much more.
I can't ask you to wait.
When did he give you these?
A few days ago.
Darius left last night.
He's not coming back?
I don't know.
I really don't.
What's up, fellas?
You got any idea how it all went down?
Cassius was in the shower...
Guard!
...now there's three Nazis in medical.
Man also got my burner.
You don't want to get mixed up with him.
I need you to go to Foster.
Get him to testify.
Captain Foster,
I understand you have information about the incident?
I'd like to offer my letter of resignation.
I'll be out of your hair in two weeks.
Even Wallace is working for ‐‐
Are you talking about Cassius Dawkins?
You need to do something about it.
You told us that you would.
Think it's time to file for my retrial.
But I got to know if you're with me.
I used to think I would do anything I could
to survive in here.
For 12 years, I spent every day
just figuring out how to get to the next.
But sooner or later, you're gonna have to decide
if there's anything worth fighting for besides yourself.
It's gettin' real.
Yeah, man.
That's right.
We filed a motion.
Got three pretty strong arguments.
Together, they gotta mean something.
A'ight. Why don't you run it by me, then?
A'ight.
Number one ‐‐ pattern of rushing to judgement.
Case in point ‐‐ Easley Barton.
That wasn't the Bronx, but it was Maskins,
from the beginning of his career.
Number two ‐‐ remember what they did with Rafi?
Hell yeah. How they had the two lineups?
Pattern of messing with eyewitnesses,
just like they did with me.
And number three ‐‐ and this is the most important ‐‐
Angelo Torres, the guy whose testimony put me away,
was a criminal informant on their payroll for years,
with a history of lying in other cases.
Now, that conflict, his identity,
and his history were never disclosed to me.
What about the cat who turned on you and skated?
Oh, this dude, Michael? Yeah.
Yeah, he lied ‐‐ same as Angelo.
But I got nothing on him, so...
Sound rock‐solid to me.
Yeah. Remains to be seen.
But I got no time to waste.
Maskins wins the election, becomes Attorney General,
he'll hold all the cards.
Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!
There he is!
What's up with this?
I thought you were two years from your full pension, Cap.
Well, 32 years is a pretty good run,
and my boat's not getting any younger.
God bless, Cap. God bless.
All of us, we'll miss you.
Sorry I can't stay longer, Captain.
Busy day, but...
congratulations.
Means a lot coming from you, ma'am.
Well, let's party. What are we waiting for?
Let's cut this cake!
I mean, I really don't know how she's gonna play it.
If I were you, I'd lay low.
And what'd you tell Dawkins?
Nothing yet.
He'll find out on his own.
So, that's that?
Whatever you do, stay away from him.
You hear Foster's retiring?
Yeah, you must be relieved.
I would have been if he walked out that day,
but he insisted on staying another two weeks.
He's a lifer. Man's got his pride.
Or he's making another big score
before he rides off into the sunset.
I filed a motion for my retrial.
Now that's all I'm focusing on.
And if the prison goes to hell?
Prison's prison.
Always have tribes, corruption,
retribution, soul‐selling.
I know Frankie's the one you got the intel from.
He seems to think you're working for Cassius Dawkins now.
I can confirm one thing.
Foster was content with what he had.
Whatever he's been doing the past few weeks,
he was coerced.
My guess is,
he just wants to walk out of here with his head held high.
And if I were you...
I'd let it go.
Heard you're about to make a move.
There somethin' I should know?
Whole thing's getting a bit too hot for my taste.
You want to keep things going,
I'm sure you can find another mover.
Yeah, but ain't easy to find another Captain.
You're resourceful, Cassius.
You'll figure it out.
Marie tracked all that down for you?
Yeah. It's unbelievable.
Yeah, sound like that woman's still got a jones
for somebody I know.
Oh, really? It's a lot of work.
Come on, man. Where that husband ‐‐
Yo, my mans is in need of his lawyer.
I'm closed for business.
Got my own case going on right now.
This ain't a case.
I just want to talk about some intel.
Yeah? What about?
You know Foster's retiring.
Cassius is wondering if maybe the warden lady's
got something on him that could affect business.
I don't know anything about that.
You know I can't take that home.
Jamal, get your boy ‐‐
Eh, nah, nah. "Jamal" nothin', man.
That ‐‐ That man makes his own decisions.
I'm staying out of it.
Ain't no Switzerland around here.
You both know that.
Well, I thought I could get some fresh air.
Guess not.
Get your boy on point.
Ain't no Switzerland.
What's going on?
Marie did some digging.
She unearthed a‐a real game‐changer.
You know how Jazz has been working on that website for you?
Yeah.
Well, I noticed some online chatter
about that girl who OD'd at the club.
Apparently, cops swooped in the next week,
grabbing people a few blocks from the club,
asking them all kinds of questions.
Which means that the original investigation was initiated
because of the girl. Of that girl.
Yeah, I always kind of figured that.
Then why didn't she testify?
Michael told me she was young. I assumed she was underage.
She was 18.
She's not just another witness. She's the reason it started.
And her father just so happens to be a hedge‐fund billionaire
and one of Maskins' biggest donors.
Check it out.
He targeted the club and you as a political favor.
So he was after me from the beginning.
He smelled his shot to reel in some serious financial backing,
but he needed results.
Big results.
Not just the guy working the door at a nightclub ‐‐
the nightclub owner.
Good for fundraising, great for headlines,
and it got him where he is now.
Mm‐hmm.
This is incredible, Marie.
And ‐‐ I mean, I just ‐‐
I don't know how to thank you.
Can you give us a minute?
Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah.
Thanks.
Darius moved out.
I signed the divorce papers. I thought that would ‐‐
He wanted more than I was ready for right now.
A‐And I didn't want to put Jazz in a bad position ‐‐
you know, having to tell you ‐‐
so I just thought that I should.
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
I can't believe this is it.
Three more days, and you're finally gonna get your chance.
Yeah, it's just, uh...
it's just to argue to get the retrial.
I know.
But...
I just never thought this day was gonna come.
I can't even look at those bags.
Well, I won't exactly be happy to be packing them in my car.
Then don't.
Do you love me?
Yes, Darius.
I do.
And Aaron?
None of this has been fair.
I went into it with my eyes open, so...
You don't have to do that.
What?
Let me off the hook.
I've loved you from the moment we met.
There's nothing you can do about that.
So, what do we do now?
Aaron's arguing for his retrial, right?
Yeah. Couple days.
Nobody's gonna be able to think about anything else, so...
...let's just see what happens then.
I know you spoke to my wife about it.
I really appreciate you being willing to testify.
Yeah, I‐I told her I would,
but I'm not sure I can make it down to the Bronx that day.
Please.
Mr. Yates, the ‐‐
The DA's office was hiding you from me because they knew
what you had to say would help me.
My life is literally depending on this.
Yeah. Okay. Okay.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Now, you'll get a ca‐‐
What?
You heard about Jamal?
He took a beating.
Mr. Wallace? Are ‐‐ Are you there?
Yeah. Sorry.
Um...a friend of mine will be calling you.
Henry Roswell.
He'll arrange everything.
Now, I gotta go, but thank you.
It was Dawkins.
And that's on you.
What happened?
Guess Bobby... took his "no" home.
Where'd they get you?
Them chumps cleared out the kitchen.
Must've paid off some guards or something.
Which guards?
You ain't going to the warden with this,
so don't worry about all that.
Listen, Cassius got a problem with me,
he gotta take it up with me.
Yo. Yo.
I'm good. Alright?
Only thing left for you to do is be his bitch,
and I ain't gonna let that happen.
And I ain't gonna let you pay the price for me, neither.
Just stay away from me, alright?!
Just...
...stay away from me.
Do your own thing.
And once Cassius realize that ‐‐ that there's nothing to it,
he‐‐ he'll let it go.
And if he doesn't?
You been waiting nine years to do what you gotta do.
Do your thing, man.
I can take care of myself.
I'm good, baby.
Huh?
Hey, I'm built for this. 10 toes to the ground, man.
I ain't going nowhere.
I'm good, man. Just go.
Get out of here. Get out of here.
You sure? Go. I'm fine.
I'm fine.
How is he?
His blood pressure's back up, and he's breathing on his own,
but he almost didn't make it.
Hey, Frankie.
I'm sorry.
Oh, Frankie.
Please, I need to know.
Where'd you get the drugs?
It's the only way I can help anyone.
You got clean once.
You can do it again.
What's your guess? Heroin? Oxy?
Fentanyl. It was under Frankie's tongue.
"Or do you despise the riches of his goodness,
forbearance, and ‐‐"
Romans 2:4.
Yo, Crawford.
If it ain't the man of the hour.
What brings you down to B block?
Oh, uh, you know... I was headed on my break.
Just figured I'd swing by, see what turned up.
Would you look at that.
Found it between the ace and the king of hearts.
I'm bringing in the Office of Special Investigations.
Doesn't that say you've lost control of your prison?
Oh, I don't care about appearances right now.
I'm confiscating all religious books ‐‐
Qur'ans, Bibles, Talmuds, Dao De Jings.
That won't go down too well.
Which is why I need you to back my play.
Those books are protected
by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Probably why they're using Bibles.
Look, I've placed a rush order on new religious materials.
Every inmate who wants one will get one.
Listen, anyone who cares about their Bible or Qur'an
is not gonna be content with a new one.
Their old ones have got dog‐eared pages,
passages underlined,
some of them passed down for generations.
Yeah, which is why I'm sequestering them at the warehouse.
The K‐9 team will come in, identify the contaminated ones.
As the books are cleared, they'll be returned.
You still represent all the prisoners, don't you?
Enough of that. 'Course I do.
Then you have a responsibility to help me.
Oof. Gotta hurt, huh?
I just knew it.
Sooner or later, you monkeys were gonna turn on each other.
Just knew it.
Woulda thought your boy woulda come seen me by now.
What I gotta do? Keep beating your ass?
He's only in it for himself.
Beatin' my ass ain't gonna change a thing.
Only one reason I can think of
he wouldn't want to help find the snitch.
I mean, everybody here know
he in real good with the warden.
Nah. I can't see all that.
The way he be ridin' her leg all the time,
don't reflect too good on you, do it?
Don't go there yet.
Let me ‐‐
Let me suss it out for a minute.
Huh?
Pick this up again later.
Boss ordered a shakedown of Frankie's cell.
They found a piece of the Bible.
She's gonna sweep the whole place.
I need that book back.
There's Bibles all over the place, man.
Why you think I used it?
Well, I'm glad you're so confident,
but I'm not gonna let this blow up in my face.
I tell you what.
I'll give you back Leviticus
if you confirm one thing for me.
Aaron Wallace is the rat.
That would make the most sense, wouldn't it?
That's what I thought.
This belonged to my wife.
You'll get it back.
Yo!
She came to you, too, huh?
She said you understood her point of view.
Understood? Yeah.
Like it? No.
Come on.
12 hours.
That's all she's asking for.
This is on you, Wallace!
You're prison rep! Do your job!
Come on, lawyer man! Where you at, man? Step up!
The dogs haven't found anything yet.
I need a 24‐hour extension.
You're kidding me.
What about the books already cleared?
We're gonna go through them again.
You know I'm doing the right thing.
You made a promise.
And I gave my word to the inmates, to Hassan.
You expect me to just let this ride?
When I have a chance to ‐‐
To what? Stick it to Foster?
That's what you think this is about?
I don't know.
But I can't stick my neck out any farther.
Oh, that's it, then.
I got something on Maskins
that will help your wife with the election.
I'm hoping that'll play into your decision.
My decision for what?
Let me go to court.
You really think you have to dangle something over my head
for that?
It's always been quid pro quo.
Did something change?
I don't want to fight. I just want to talk.
We spent a lot of time in these exact spots.
Aaron right there.
Sometimes we were on the porch...
Sometimes hiding under it.
Remember the time we threw the water balloon
at Professor Leroy's house?
And didn't know the window was open?
Thing exploded on his lap.
Man, that guy was so scary.
Made it back, hid under here...
Didn't come out all night.
Angelo ran.
He fled the country.
Hey, I didn't tip him off, if that's what you're thinking.
Nah, nah, I didn't think that.
But, uh... I want you to know
it seems pretty clear the whole thing started
that night you and him dropped that girl off at the hospital.
That's when the DEA honed in on the club,
and Aaron was the big fish.
You know, I spent all these years
thinking Aaron was the one behind it.
That's what allowed me to even think about being with Marie.
So, I got to ‐‐ I got to ask you now, man,
'cause we grew up together, and you know who I am.
I need the truth.
Come on. Please, man. It's just me and you.
Just, I g‐‐ I got to know.
I couldn't do the time.
I just couldn't.
So you let him rot in there?
Knowing?
I thought he would take the plea.
I don't know why he didn't take it.
Thought about what you said.
I'm listening.
I was thinking, man...
all this stuff with the Bible and the warden,
he been playing us, man.
Especially me.
You was right, man.
Gotta get my name back.
You got a plan?
Back door parole.
I gots to take him out of here.
Whatchu thinkin'?
I just need a piece.
I got you there, bruh.
It's been a long time.
Two years.
Three.
You look good, Deshaun.
Thanks for comin' so quick.
Seemed important all of a sudden.
Ohh, yeah.
You, uh ‐‐ Y‐You ever run in‐‐ into my sister?
Can't seem to get in contact with her.
I checked on her last year.
She got some new dude?
Yep.
Knocking her around?
What you think?
You threw your life away to protect her.
For what?
I'm sorry.
I just wish...
you had let somebody else do it for you.
Sorry I cut you off.
I just couldn't take it ‐‐ you know, you coming in here.
You know, and us...
not being able to...
You seeing anyone?
There ain't never been nobody but you.
You know that.
This ain't a good idea.
Jamal.
What is going on?
Why are you doing this?
Why now?
I just want to feel you again.
Forget about me.
Live your life now.
Hey, guys. Ma'am.
This is investigators Merrill and Crooks from O.S.I.
We need the room, please.
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you.
Go ahead.
Cue up last week's footage.
Got what you're looking for.
I told you to stay away.
Now you're his messenger boy?
What the hell are you doing?
There's one more thing he needs you to do
before you're off the hook.
What about the C. O. who did the frisk?
That's Vasquez.
Let's stay with Foster.
Camera 11 should pick him up in the hallway.
Don't suppose you have cameras in the bathroom?
Not yet.
Fast‐forward. See what he does when he comes out.
Wait. Blow that up.
You son of a bitch.
Keep following him.
Let's see if we can find the hand‐off.
Come on.
Wallace!
Got a call from Admin. You got a visitor.
Hey, I gotta get to the gym.
What about your visitor?
It's my time, and I want it.
Now, open up. Come on.
We need more guys out there.
Go on.
Whatever you say, Cap.
You're clear.
Yo. Saw you with your friend in the visiting room.
What of it?
Cassius don't mind, long as you take care of business.
You really gonna do this?
Gotta get my name back.
Hey. Slow down.
Can I pass by you?
Time's running out.
Game on?
Yeah, man. Game on.
Good?
You're good.
Where's Jamal?
Yo, Jamal!
Your boy here.
Hey, Jamal!
Jamal!
Go! Go, go, go, go!
C‐Come on! Come on!
Now's your chance, boys. Go get your revenge. Go!
Hey! Hey! Stand back! Stand ‐‐
Shut the gate! Shut the gate! Lock it down!
Open the gate!
Hands up!
Monitors are back live.
This is Superintendent Masry. We need an update.
Captain Foster here.
We got a riot in the gym.
It appears to be gang‐related.
All departments, initiate a full facility lockdown.
Emergency Operations Center will be in Surveillance Room C.
Initiate CERT.
Full lockdown is now in effect.
Secure all entrances and exits.
Confine inmate movement to authorized areas.
Everyone out.
Khardi, get all the inmates back to their cells.
Guard! We're gonna need a medic!
Hang on, Jamal.
Medic!!
Okay, there's a situation in the gym.
Get me every angle.
Okay, go live on cameras 3 and 6.
We've got some catching up to do.
‐Help! ‐Get out! Let's go!
Officer down! Officer down!
We got an officer down.
What happened?
He tried to stop those white power guys!
I repeat, officer down!
Help!
Help!!
What's Vasquez doing there?
He's assigned to the security checkpoint today.
Get the medics in there now.
Stay with me.
Stay with me, Jamal.
Hold on! Just hold on!
I'm at the prison. Something's going down.
Wait, why are you at the prison?
Forget about that for right now.
Just whatever it is, it's not good, Marie.
I'm trying to get more information.
Medic!
You hear me? You're not going anywhere.
Just hold on!
You hear me?
I can't do this without you, Jamal.
You're my only friend here.
Jamal!
Medic!!
We need support up here now!
You stay with me!
Everybody down! Everybody down on the ground!
While names and numbers have not been released
pending notification of families,
at least one fatality at the prison has been confirmed.
Mom?
No, no, no. It's gonna be okay.
Hey.
They won't give us any updates. No one's saying anything.
Yeah, uh, the news is saying there are fatalities,
but w‐we're just gonna come up there.
No. No, Marie.
Another visitor just told me they blocked off the roads.
You can't get anywhere near this place.
So, then, what am I supposed to do from here?
Just ‐‐ Just sit tight.
I'm not leaving until I see him.
What happened, Darius?
What are you doing up there?
I went to see Michael.
He admitted Aaron never had anything to do with it.
It was all a lie.
Oh, my God.
He's really innocent.
Yeah, Michael will never testify to it,
but that's what he told me.
I came up here to try to make things right with Aaron.
This is a developing story,
and we are updating our information
as new details become available.
We did this.
How is he?
Stand back, ma'am. We're doing everything that we can.
I know what everyone will say.
They'll say that we brought this on ourselves.
That we were animals.
That this is why we need to be locked up.
What'll never get outside these walls
is that all of this went down because I loved my brother
and I was willing to die for him ‐‐
same as he was for me.
Would you do that?
