"Asa?" "Yes, Mrs. Harris?" "Where's Pernell?" " Judge Harris..." " Judge Harris..." "Judge Harris, is it true that you've been seeing a neurologist?" "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 dick."" "Fresh fish, ladies." "Fresh fish." "Tap your brakes, judge." "Eating for two." "Mr. Harris, you're being charged with violating Penal Code section 1210.7 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 29th." "Thank you, Your Honor." "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 fucking bed." "You're like a piñata." "They hit you with a stick, and you still shit 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 raped 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 fucking murder anybody, Adam." "They got no weapon." "We could poke holes in the DNA." "They got a guy said he saw me dump a body, but he didn't see me murder 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." "Come on, sit down." "Find yourself another piñata." "Fuck." "Jocelyn." "Yeah." "I asked you if you'd been socializing at all." "I guess." "Yes." "I don't know." "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 fucking world has an eye on me." "That's all." "Shh!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Moonlight, no!" "No!" "God damn it!" "God fucking damn it, Moonlight!" "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." "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 shit 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." "Make sure you can get that to Keith Dennison, understand?" "You're killing me, Pernell." "Make sure he doesn't do the same thing with that witness." "Let the money do the talking, not his fucking knife, you understand?" "Guard." "Hey, black guys, you seen my capsule?" "I'm looking for my capsule." "I got to find my capsule." "You going to eat both of those?" "Yeah." "That's a good one." "You want a taste?" "I'm allergic." "How long, man?" "67 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." "My God." "Pacific Sage raw honeycomb." "This is singular." "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." "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... 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." "All right, all right." "What a good turnout." "What a good turnout." "What's the latest on Pernell?" "His bail revocation hearing was set for Monday, so he's at least in custody till then." "And his lawyer quit." "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 '86." "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." "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." "It's for you." "It gives me great pride to introduce your Student Body President." "Mr. Freddie Hampton." "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 50 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!" "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 racist 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."" "You know, if it was left to our school's namesake, 80% of us wouldn't even be here." " 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." " Yeah!" " Change the name!" " Yeah!" "Change the name!" "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, take refuge in knowing that God loves everyone, even cop killers." "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, keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, they hardly work in this shit hole." "Ye of little faith." "Fuck you!" "Guard!" "Guard!" " 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 fucking 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." " Ma'am..." " That's okay." "How are you doing, Valerie?" "Not a good day, but, 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." "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." "You okay?" "Fuck." "No." "Crys." "When'd you get back?" "This morning." "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?" "What?" "Pernell, are you okay?" "The CO gave me a beat-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 killer." "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." "You're gonna rep..." "How many people have done that in your courtroom?" " Did they win?" " Crys," "I know the law, okay?" "I..." "I fucking wrote the law." "Pernell, look at yourself." "Look what you're wearing." "You're not special anymore." "Hey." "Come on back." "No." "I'll make it quick." "My husband is heading to prison for murder, 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 9 a.m." "Okay." "And wear jeans." "What do you want?" "Quiet." "Fuck, quiet, Moonlight, please." "What is it?" "What do you see?" "What?" "It's nothing." "It's just the wind." "Fuck." "Stop barking, God damn it." "Stop barking!" "My God." "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." "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 homo." "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." "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?" "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 war?" "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 fucking gloves." "Ready?" "Set?" "Pull!" "Aah!" "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." "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." "Sir, you left your backpack." "Thanks." "I'd be out 50 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 50 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?" "16 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?" "Ha ha ha." "For you." "How'd you find me?" "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." "Hi." "Terminal 4?" "All terminals, ma'am." "You beat on me, Berchiolli, but 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 10,000 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 shit about you." "Lifer." "Did it with an ax blade." " Give me your hand." " Fuck you." "I said give me your hand!" "Fuck you!" "You know, I heard the last thing PJ did before he swallowed that bullet 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." "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?" "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." "There's one bullet in the cylinder." "Do you believe in the power of the Almighty!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "I believe!" "I believe in God!" " Do you believe?" " I believe." "Do you love Him?" "I love Him!" "I love God!" "May the Lord be with you, Pernell." "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 fucking 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 48 hours." "In the meantime, you'll be protected 24/7." "Mike." "Can you tough this out?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Good." "Good." "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." "Alicia?" "W-What are you doing?" "Hey!" "Get off her!" "Get away from her!" " I said get..." " No!" "No!" "He's my pastor!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "No!" "My God, what the fuck have you done!" "Is this seat taken?" "You here to gloat?" "No." "I'm here to defend you." "Why in the fuck would I ever agree to that?" "The first time you open your mouth," "Stanton is gonna ram her dick into your Adam's apple." "Now why wouldn't you say yes?" "Well, you did fuck my wife." "No." "You fucked your wife the minute you married that 5K-a-night piece of chocolate cake." "I slept with your wife." "But you're the one who fucked 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?" "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." "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." "2:17 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 673 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." "Looks like you dodged a bullet, Mr. Harris." "Judge." "Judge Harris." "Every time I mention Anne Wu's name," "Crystal looked like she wanted to shit 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 raped." "She was raped during the time" "Anne Wu was making those mysterious payments." "Maybe it was some kind of extortion or, 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." "Fuck." "Something's still in there." "It's driving me fucking insane." "Can you see if something's in my eye?" "Move back." "Do you see anything?" "I know." "I know." "It's the air." "Drugs would have been less painful, but they can be discovered." "I'm sorry about that, Guy." "Thank you." "I did not like seeing you in there." "You should have tasted the bologna." "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." "Then for what?" "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..." "I'll find someplace else." "Thank you." "This is what happens to sinners." "You lied, Pernell."
