"Man, you in the flower business now?" "Oh, man, this is for Miss April." "I ain't paid not one overdraft fee in years." " I like that." " Charley still in L.A.?"

"Charley." "Girl, I didn't know you were back in town." "Well, I'm sure I mentioned it in my voicemails." "Been meaning to hit you back." "You know how crazy it's been." "No, of course." "I didn't know you two were friends." "L.A. is a small town." "I'm sorry to hear about your dad." "Pull... pull up a chair, join us." "You know, that is so sweet, but I really cant." "Lunch is on me." "Oh, Charley, you don't have to do that." "Girl, I haven't seen you in so long, it is the least I can do." "(water sprays, stops)" "That's a pretty classy move, picking up the tab." "So, what are we dealing with?" "Felix and Eddie are mounting a joint defense." "They're gonna try to settle without Davis." "They're even talking to Estelle Peterson the high-profile attorney who handled the Parker NFL assault case." "I'm familiar." "I'll call you when I need you." "Hi, sorry I'm late." "I just found out about this meeting." "(softly) I thought we already had a criminal attorney." "I fired him." "Estelle Peterson." "It's a pleasure." "Please sit." "I was just telling your wife that the detectives have been tight-lipped about the details of your case, which is fine." "They have yet to provide any sufficient evidence." "So, silence indemnifies them." "But you... you should be ready." "Assuming that there is a rape kit, and any damning evidence, the prosecutors could have a solid case." "What are our options?" "I want to handle this in a way that gets you exactly what you're looking for." "You have options, and I'm not talking settlement." "My P.I. has been tracking Melina Gold." "Her real name is Melina Galoudian." "She's 26 years old and she lives in Houston, Texas." "It won't take much to discredit a call girl with priors who offers group sex on her agency's site." "But, on occasion," "I have clients who use backchannels... to make cases like this disappear." "Melina's a prostitute." " She's gotta have a price." " No." "No." " Charley, we're leaving." " Davis..." "Find out how much it'll cost to make this go away." "About to hit this break." "You smoke?" "Nah." "Thanks for letting me dip earlier." "Ain't no thing, wodie." "Hey, you got your seed cane?" "All sold out." "Ah-hh..." "You know, I was thinking about your cousin," " the one up in Jackson?" " Mm-hmm." "You, uh... mind hitting' him up?" "Since he's offloading' his farm, maybe he got some seed cane I can buy." "Yeah, yeah, I'll give him a call." "I mean, he ain't got but 70 acres, but probably still cut you a deal though." "Aw, no, I appreciate that." "We cover each other around here." " I'll see you out there." " All right." ""Nola Daily News"" "start printing the truth yet?" "Your issue is with the paper, not with me, Francine." "You and the American Civil Liberties Union, y'all can sue anyone y'all want." "My organization helps the disenfranchised, yours is part of the problem." "I ain't come here to fight." "I wouldn't have called it if wasn't important." "I hear the ACLU is takin' on the DA's office?" " Somebody has to." " Well, they're not talkin'." "I got the brush-off this afternoon." "I could use a little more background information on these plea deals." " What do you have?" " From what I've gathered, the number of plea deals offered by the DA's office has tripled this year." "Now, these are low-level offenses and they aggregate around the Ninth." "They're rounding' these kids up like it's a circus." "You got the right bricks, Nova, but you don't have the right foundation." "It isn't about plea deals or the Ninth." "It's about convictions." "After the FEMA money dried up, and budget cuts, whole government departments got gutted, including NOPD." "Yeah, but everybody knows there's a deficit." "Yes, but not the prisons." "Law enforcement... is financed by money skimmed off the top of these for-profit prisons, and inmate labor." "Short-term or long-term sentence, it doesn't matter, as long as the bodies keep coming in." "Inmate count drops, sheriff's lose money." "DA, prisons, police... they're all working together, trading inmates like horses." "Exactly." "If you need 'em, I got a mountain of case files." "If I do this right, my story will change everything." "(music playing)" "Okay... it's not about you, Micah, it's about your dad." "Okay, but we're the ones in those frickin' pictures." "When my parents split, things got weird." "What does your mom think?" "She has enough to deal with." "I just wish everyone would stop talking about it." "I didn't mean you." " I didn't mean you!" " (laughing)" "I love you." "Oh, Micah." "Woman:" "Stella?" "Stella?" "Oh, Micah." "I thought I reminded you to, uh, cancel your study date, seeing as we have that dinner tonight." " What dinner?" " The Foremans' dinner." "That was last week." "Micah, I wish you'd, uh, checked with me before you stopped by." " Mom, he's never checked..." " Stella." "Sorry, yeah." "Um..." "I'll take an Uber home." "Hell, yeah." "Yeah." " Hey!" " Hey, boy." " Man, I appreciate you comin'." " Glad you called." " I got the cane like I said I would." " All right." "It's only 70 acres, but it's a start." "Yo, maybe we could use some of your connects at LSU, get the rest to cover the 230 acres." "Yeah." "You check it?" "Make sure it's healthy?" "I didn't see nothin' wrong." "(rustling)" "Yo, chill." "You gonna ruin it before we put it in the ground." " What?" " (sighs)" "This cane ain't right, Ralph Angel." "Ain't right?" "What you mean?" "Farmer I got it from said it's legit." "Nah, this cane is infected with smut." " Smut?" " You see that?" "That's fungus." "And that's just the pieces that I checked." "It's likely the whole load." "Yeah, see, this fungus infects the center of the stalk." "Makes it sallow, kills it." "Dead cane don't produce no sugar." "I paid $15,000 for this." "Can you get your money back?" "No." "(grunts)" "What am I supposed to do?" "Want me to put the okra in the hot water?" "Mm-hmm." ""Amending policing laws would bankrupt the $182 million for-profit prison industry." "Inmates, like minor Devonte Bonclair, pay the price."" "How is this even legal?" "That's the world we live in." "I mean, we already know they don't care about us but it's another thing to come on and flat-out say it." "I pray this boy pulls through." "Ernest would be very proud of you." "You know, it seems you, Ralph Angel, and Charley, y'all are just goin' on." "Me, one minute I'm cryin', the next minute I'm mad as hell, I..." "I don't want Hollywood to go back to work." "Trust me, we're not gettin' on." "We're just gettin' through." "Stella." "Stella...?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey." " What's wrong?" " I'm sorry, I can't talk right now." "Yeah, you couldn't talk last night or this morning." "Did I do something?" "Stella?" "What is it?" "No, I spent months negotiating that Mercedes deal." " Yeah..." " (line beeping)" "Nathan, hold on." "Yeah, I've gotta take this." "It's my kid's school." "Yep." " (beeps)" " Hello." "Hi, Mr. Oliver." "What kind of incident?" "Okay." "No, I'm..." "I'm on my way." "We take this issue very seriously." "Distribution of this sort of material is outside our code of conduct." "It's grounds for expulsion." "This is ridiculous." "They're kids." "They text and tweet and Snapchat all kinds of silliness." " How about that website?" " What website?" "Well, there's a whole website dedicated to them because of her husband." "And how is that Micah's fault?" "Mrs. West, we don't police our students' personal lives." "But that's exactly what you're doing." "That picture, it's..." "My daughter's only 15." "So is Micah." " I wanna see it." " Mrs. West..." "No." "Apparently everyone in this room has seen it." "Now you wanna expel my son over a lewd picture you claim he sent to his girlfriend?" "I wanna see what's in the picture." "You gave birth to him, I'm sure you've seen it." "Our guidelines are clear, Mrs. West." "We can't make exceptions." "Micah has to clear out his locker." "Don't think for one second we won't fight this." "Charley:" "Micah." "Micah." "Stop!" "Micah, stop!" "You sent that girl a picture of your... (whispers) A picture of your penis?" "You better answer me, boy, or I swear to God, it's gonna be me and you all day today." "It wasn't mine." "I didn't send that to Stella." "I didn't even know what was in that picture until he just said it." "Wait, what?" "(sobs)" "Stella's cheating on me." " Baby, I'm so sorry..." " Mom, stop." "I've just been so busy with your father, baby, I'm..." "Micah, we need to go back in, sweetheart..." "Micah." "Come on, Mom, let's go!" "15,000?" "So that's why Ralph Angel's avoiding my calls?" "Remy:" "Trust me, Charley." "He feels like hell." "Okay?" "It was an honest mistake." "So, you'd make that mistake?" "Well..." "Charley:" "Yeah, that's what I thought." "(laughing)" "You know, you Bordelons are a funny bunch." "Okay, I told you to hire a farm manager." "I already have a job." "Oh, and what is it again?" "Okay, we've been over this." "I'm a water irrigation specialist." "Charley:" "Oh, right." "Professor... part-time chef, I cut hair," " I do oil changes..." " (laughing)" "Stop." "Oh... you're stupid." "(Remy laughing)" "Okay, so, when are you headed back?" "'Cause if you're serious about this farm, and I take it that you are, you can't be double-minded." "You gotta be all-in, Charley." "Thanks, Remy." "Good night." "'Night, Charley." "(sighs)" "There's my boy!" "We painted today at school." "I learned 10 new colors." "And I wanna hear all about it." "Go and wash up for dinner, okay?" "Okay." "(door closes)" "I'm sorry, Rah." "You were right." "I should have been there more for you." "I read your article." "It was dope." "I'm gonna be around more to help." "Mm-hmm." "I'll believe it when I see it." "Hey!" ""When you see it." Whatever!" " You know exactly what I mean." " I'm serious!" " All right." " I love you." "I love you, too." "Oh, Lord." "The loud Negroes have returned." " Hey!" " What up, Wood?" " Hey, my baby." " How you doing?" "Hey, buddy." "Now, do I smell ham hocks?" "I guess you ain't mad at me no more." "Look in the oven." "(laughs)" "You know I don't wanna leave, neither." "Yeah, well, it is what it is." "Maybe I've been leaning' on you too much." "Ain't nothin' wrong with that." "No, I'm gonna call you." "You gonna call me." "And them days gonna be gone before we know it." "Mm-hmm." "I'll be all right." "(laughing)" "I have news." "Okay." "My P.I. reached out to Melina Galoudian, and we offered her $500,000." "Oh, Christ." "So, that's the going rate these days?" "Fine." "As long as this case disappears." "Well, that's just it." "She didn't accept the payoff." "She doesn't want the money." "Then what does she want?"
