For The People

Previously on "For the People"...

The bear claw this week goes to Allison,

who got a full dismissal in the Locarno matter.

You love that watch.

It bothers me it isn't real.

Am I really supposed to believe

that what's on the inside doesn't count?

We have to do this together.

I don't want to do it any other way.

I'm the guy who makes it worse.

I'm the guy you don't want to go up against.

I didn't stumble into this case.

I saw it, I wanted it, and I took it.

I don't want fun. I want challenging, interesting.

- Would it work? - Would what work?

Us. Would we work?

I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression.

Bajo Le cama, metete debajo De la cama!

Go, go, go!

Closet's not clear.

Come on. Get out here!

Is this him?

Is this him?

Yeah, that's our guy.

- Agatha? -

Play "Sandra's Not Home."

Of course. I can do that.

Playing playlist "Sandra's Not Home."

Yes, I unplugged everything and restarted the modem.

That's what you guys tell me to do very time,

and it works better for five minutes,

then it slows down again.

No. No, I can't hold.

I'm late for work.

What is life without Internet?

The whole of human civilization up until 20 years ago?

- Ugh. I prefer the Internet. -

We have no Internet at home.

What are you doing in here?

My office, there's stuff in it.

- Did you call? - Oh, I called. I unplugged.

I waited 10 seconds. I plugged.

I've never understood the waiting 10 seconds part.

It's either on or it's off. Right?

The waiting feels like the modem's mad at me or something.

Like we need to give it time to calm down, cool off.

My ride in wasn't great, either.

This might be the worst day of your life.

Top three, probably, but I'm turning it around.

You always do.

Lemonade.

Does that mean you're gonna make lemonade from lemons

or you're gonna play "Lemonade"?

Yes.

Okay. I have to go.

Cool if I leave my stuff here?

That's how it starts.

- I need you for 10 minutes. - No.

- Five minutes. - No. Why do you need me?

I have a meeting with the ATF. I need you to back me up.

- About what? - Whatever I say.

What if I don't like what you say?

Why are you assuming you're not gonna like what I say?

Well, I don't like what you're saying right now.

Please, come and just sit in the room.

You don't have to do anything. Just sit for five minutes.

Nobody will even notice you're there.

Then when I say something, you say,

"Good point" or "Yes, I agree."

You're not going to tell me when I can and cannot make an arrest!

Who is she? Who are you?

Kate. She's my colleague.

I agree. Good point.

Look, I'm saying you have enough to arrest McCallister now.

He's the one we want. Why are we waiting?

We're waiting because we should work on this from the bottom up.

We can cut the head off, but the head grows back.

Let's start on the lower rungs

and dismantle this piece by piece.

- I agree. - What?

What does that even mean, "The head grows back"?

When does a head ever grow back?

If he's low enough, no one in the ring

will think twice when he disappears.

We get the evidence we need...

Without compromising the investigation.

It's a good idea.

Agree with what I say.

Me. Agree.

You should've said something better.

I'm never gonna invite you to a meeting

so you can back me up again.

See, like that. That's better.

Hey.

Hey.

Thank you.

Oh, it was a good idea.

Can I get your number?

If anything comes up.

The island nation of Córdoba is still reeling this morning

after damage caused by Category 5 Hurricane Jasper.

They also now face a graver threat... armed acts of piracy.

According to U.S. officials,

island resident Arturo Marquez

was armed with automatic weapons

when he boarded a relief ship

and forcibly removed thousands of pounds of supplies.

Marquez is now in custody with the United States Marines.

Marquez... Is he in the Southern District?

I can't comment on that.

I want it.

I can comment on that. No.

I do have something for you, though.

Just came in.

Assault? Roger...

Not just any assault.

This guy and others like him

are creating a real problem in this city,

and it's time to put the federal foot down.

And it's not just any opposing counsel.

It's someone you will enjoy going up against.

So, take a closer look

before you start flicking your applesauce in my face.

Oh.

Right.

Your Honor, Mr. Morris is being charged

with a single count under 18 USC 113...

assault on federal land.

As alleged in the complaint, Mr. Morris dove...

uh, "flew", his words...

and tackled an unarmed tourist

at the African Burial Ground National Monument.

I'm sorry... I keep referring to him as Mr. Morris.

Would the defendant prefer "Captain Shadow," Ms. Bell?

Captain Shadow.

Captain Shadow.

Very well, Captain.

Your Honor, Mr. Shadow...

my client had a good-faith belief

that he was stopping a kidnapping.

The victim was chasing after his toddler.

Yeah, I... I don't... I didn't...

Do you understand the charges, Mr. Morris?

Yes, Your Honor.

And how do you plead?

Not guilty, Your Honor.

I'll release Mr. Morris on a $5,000 bond.

Normal restrictions,

but I'll add an additional requirement

of an 8:00 p.m. curfew.

Crime spikes in the city around 10:00.

I really need to be out there.

The curfew is fine, Your Honor.

We'll also need the costume... as evidence.

"Costume"?

Defendant will surrender the costume.

We're in recess.

Does this look like a costume to you?

It's not Halloween.

I do not like that guy.

Director Fury.

Mm. Is that the joke they programmed into you?

I thought I'd enjoy this more.

Come by my office. Let's work out a deal.

You can come to me.

I could, but I'm not going to.

Like your client, the Eagle does not fly.

You live with Sandra, right?

She's a little tidier at home.

She actually lives out of a bag.

A go-bag. I had one of those when I was married.

Used it.

You saw the news this morning?

I don't have Internet.

There are papers.

The big, floppy things with the...

No.

Arturo Marquez.

The United States Marines took him into custody in Córdoba

and brought him to New York.

There was some question about

whether he was gonna be held as an enemy combatant,
