For The People

Previously on "For the People"...

You asked me out for a drink and I said no.

Because I worried about what would happen.

This is Kate Littlejohn.

It's Anya Ooms with the ATF.

I need your help.

Well, we did it.

You did it.

Yankees tickets?

You're going to the game with him?

We don't go together. We meet there.

And you're gonna go a lot farther than I have.

You're gonna go all the way.

I honestly have no idea who you are

but you have Roger's attention.

Nail this case, and you'll have mine.

I don't believe I can prove it.

If there's no case, there's no case.

Thank you, Mr. Fox.

Knox.

Mr. Knox.

Run it back?

- I already owe you $100. - $200.

- $200. Who's counting? - He's counting.

Have you met Leonard Knox?

I'm counting.

Okay.

Harvard Law annual New York alumni event...

- We need to discuss. - We need a speaker.

I can do it.

I was thinking about Michela Walsh.

Michela? She wasn't even on Law Review.

She's Chief Counsel

to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Whit Caskell just got back

from a tour in Afghanistan...

with a Silver Star.

David Silverman won a MacArthur

for that study he did on ants.

- Are you serious? - Apparently ants have

this really advanced social system...

Not the ants.

I'm just saying, why are we working so hard on this?

The answer is right here.

I got it.

You're doing amazing stuff, Knox.

Supreme Court,

AUSA in the Southern District of New York...

- It's awesome. It's just not... - What?

The same. You know?

I'm sure you'll get a case soon

that's big and splashy and really means something,

but right now,

I think we should run with one of those guys.

Cool?

Dude. Cool.

An arrest was made this morning

in the brutal slaying of 21-year-old Christine Campbell.

Campbell, the sister of an FBI agent

working on a joint NYPD-FBI task force,

was allegedly kidnapped and murdered

by one of the targets of that task force

Brad Hargrove.

Hargrove is expected to be arraigned today

on charges of first-degree murder.

Hargrove's roommate and best friend, Jared Nash,

who investigators say was in the apartment

when Campbell was killed

but did not participate in the murder,

has been questioned and released.

- Insane. - Mm.

That's a difficult defense.

Oh. No, I didn't mean that.

I meant just, like, what people say

when something seems crazy.

You know, like when you see

a huge line outside of a store,

and you're like, "Insane."

What store?

- Insane. - Yes.

This guy, Nash, apparently he just sat

and watched the whole murder, did nothing.

Extortion, bribery, fraud,

organized crime, and still I'm in a good mood?

Why?

Because despite this cornucopia of human depravity,

today I finally got Yankees season tickets.

Do not ruin this day for me.

- What about the Campbell case? - See?

You are trying to ruin this day for me,

and I do not appreciate that.

New York District Attorney has the Campbell case.

- That's a federal case. - It's also a state case,

and the state has a strong interest in this case,

and I have a strong interest in

not talking about this anymore.

Some crimes can be tried

by both the state and federal government.

- Dual sovereignty... - Are you seriously lecturing me

on dual sovereignty?

Insane.

- Insane. - Yes.

I don't have brakes, either.

Hey, "Premium Rush," you're on duty.

- Did you just laugh? - S-Sorry.

That movie was very important to me.

Sorry! I thought it was funny.

Good. You win.

You'll need a sense of humor.

- Caz Murray. - Who?

Caz Murray... She's a comedian.

She posted a photo of herself on Yowler last week

pointing a gun at a picture of the President.

"Dear Mr. President,

is this what it's gonna take

for you to finally sign a gun control bill?"

I liked your joke more.

People went crazy, things escalated,

eventually Caz Yowled that she's "Locked and loaded

and coming for the President."

And people took her seriously?

The Secret Service took her very seriously.

She's been charged with threatening the President.

It was a joke.

The U.S. Attorney's Office

isn't exactly known for its sense of humor.

No.

It's ridiculous.

This comes directly from Washington.

I'm not taking it back.

It's a goofy picture and some online ranting.

- It can't be worth our time. - It's not my time.

And your time isn't worth very much.

Well, I think whoever is pushing this forward

is completely humorless.

That's you now.

- And I agree. - Wha...

- You don't think I'm funny? - No.

- I'm actually very funny. - Okay. Tell me a joke.

I'm not that kind of funny.

You're not that kind of funny who can tell a joke?

My humor is more situational.

Okay, well, let's say you're in this situation

where you told your boss you were funny,

and now you need to prove it.

You're joking.

I wouldn't, not about this.

Section 116. Row 9.

- Seats 1 and 2? - Our seats.

Wow. Wow!

- So, you're in? - Are you kidding? Of course I'm in.

I'll e-mail them back right now.

- Great. - Great.

Does this bother you?

I've gotten used to it.

The Campbell murder.

Oh. Yes.

Very much. It's horrible.

We should be trying it here.

You mean you should be trying it here.

- I do mean that, but regardless... - Let it go.

Roger made it pretty clear it wasn't up for discussion,

and I'm sure the DA can handle it.

Yeah, you're right.

Thank you.

I'm glad you're back from the ATF stuff.

Was that a good experience?

Yes. Very good.

I learned a lot.

Good.

You know, the thing about this Campbell...

Let it go.

Yep.

You're not Tina.

How could you tell?

The eyes.

Also you didn't tell me I was walking too loud.

You were walking too loud.

I'm the FPD on duty today, and...

We e-mail you when cases come in.

No, I know.

I'm the FPD on duty, and I'm friends with Tina.

I just wanted to say hi.

Hi.

I'm Jay.

I'm Lara.

It's a match.

Well, it's early, but, uh...

I think that's what they call it...

in tennis.

Tennis?

Your next case... Guy Watson.

- You're Tina. - How could you tell?

- The eyes. - Don't you have somewhere to be?

You're walking too loud.

Nice to meet you, Lara.

I enjoyed our game.

Match.

What?

You called it a tennis game.
