Your Honor

Previously on Your Honor...

The boy that they arrested died.

Actually, he was murdered.

After being tortured by the NOPD.

Fucking motherfucker killed my brother.

My baby brother.

I was taking care of it!

That's not what Mom said.

There's no homicides in my jail.

And this never happened.

You haven't even spoken to the family yet?

Kofi dead.

What?

Your brother was fam.

That means you fam.

We got eyes on you, little man.

Watch her.

Bring her back.

Why don't you just buy her a motorcycle?

Oh.

Hey, sorry.

Th-That's okay, um...

Adam, after the accident, did you stop anywhere?

I-I stopped for gas.

It was Desire payback.

If we do nothing, we look weak.

The city is waiting.

What is Jimmy Baxter gonna do?

suspenseful music

All right, Counselor, what's the story?

Uh, theft of meat from Rouse's on De Gaulle.

And what are you offering?

Four years.

For stealing meat?

$502 dollars of meat.

Why'd you do that, Mr. James?

I wanted my family back.

What does that mean?

Well, my wife told me I was dead to her.

-When? -Three months ago.

Why?

Booze.

You don't look--

I been sober 59 days now.

Good.

So where are you living?

Claiborne.

Where on Claiborne?

Under it.

Whose phone is that?

It was our tenth wedding anniversary.

The day we got married, we had a barbecue for everybody.

I just wanted to show her what I've done.

I've given up the booze.

Holding it all together.

I thought maybe she'd have me back

if I could just turn the clock back ten years.

But I ain't had no money, so...

So you stole the meat.

It's difficult

to... give up drinking.

Yeah, Mojo Coffee House saved my life.

I go to a 6 a.m. AA meeting every morning, rain or shine.

Proof of that?

Me standing right here.

I'm betting you don't need no piece a paper to judge a man by.

You can see right inside of a man.

Am I right?

Well, here I am.

Ain't no way you wouldn't know if I wasn't telling the truth.

A daily meeting at Mojo's, uh, stands a better chance

at putting this man's life back together than time in prison.

It's not my life I'm worried about.

It's my boy.

I want him to have a father that's gonna provide

and keep him safe.

I just want him to have somebody that he can be proud of.

That's it.

That's all I got.

Jesus, please.

Come on.

tense music

Sorry, Mr. James, I'm gonna put you

out of your misery right now.

12 months probation.

-Call a recess. - Recess!

We'll resume in 15 minutes.

Is there anything I can do, Judge?

Uh, no.

I'm good, Alan. Thank you.

Oh, uh, Alan, wait a second.

When you come in and open up the courtroom

in the morning, are there times when you go back out again?

Yeah, I come and go a little.

Okay. So the courtroom is

open and empty?

Okay.

Is there anything wrong, Judge?

No, uh, no.

No, but would you please tell Betty

I had to leave?

Shit.

Call Adam.

This is Adam. Leave a message.

Adam, pick up your phone, please.

Where are you, son? Call me.

suspenseful music

Django?

Oh, shit! Oh, no!

Hey, I'm sorry, buddy.

Okay. Okay, here we go.

Here we go, here we go, come on.

Here we go, here-here we go.

Okay, there we go.

I saw someone.

Amy, he's had seizures and he could have more.

I've got to get him to the vet right now.

I saw someone.

A-Amy, please not now.

-He was at the house. -Django's...

Well, w-who?

White male, green Toyota Camry

with a horseshoe in the window.

Horseshoe?

-No, a U shape. -Yes.

Two fits, definitely.

-There could be more though. -Right here, Michael.

The last one was 20 minutes ago.

Here I go, okay.

Okay, here we, here we go, buddy.

-There we go, there we go. -Here we go.

Can I get a temperature, please?

-Sure. -Yeah, is he gonna be okay?

Michael, we got him now.

Oh-oh, yeah, okay.

Hey, buddy, okay.

All right, buddy.

-That's a good boy. -Okay, after vitals,

we're gonna put him on oxygen.

- jazz music - Moonbeams got me on my way

Let your subtle glow be all I need to know

That I'm in love

Sometimes it's hard to figure out

If it's night or day

When two hearts are left here on their own

So shine down all your beams upon me

Let me know the way

Without you here to guide my heart

She just might get away

You look...

What?

Uh, older.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, so what are you up to?

What am I up to?

You know, same old stuff.

Lots of drinking and sleeping around.

Any guy comes near my little sis--

Who said it's a guy?

Always with the jokes, right?

People say revenge doesn't help.

What you did, the move you made...

it won't bring him back,

My heart will never heal.

Do I feel better?

Absolutely.

bluesy music

Hey, son, stay strong.

- Ooh! - Uh, it look like...

It look like it ain't been in the oven yet.

Little man.

Why don't you explain it to him.

Explain?

How you had it all under control.

How you was the big man making all the calls by yourself...

and got his mama and them babies blown to pieces

in their own fuckin' home.

Go ahead, Little Mo, tell him.

The cop that keeps the heat off us...

he needed a car to get stole, so I had to make it get stole...

You didn't need to do shit.

That's why I pay him five grand a week.

Now I got this baby with holes in his heart

where his family used to be

and a mob boss motherfucker with a blowtorch.

Now we go to war?

That's your ass.

Follow me.

You pay for my mama funeral?

Everybody say you did.

I ain't never spoken on this.

Don't tell no one.

You hear?

When my mama died,

she died in her bed.

Nobody came.

Only me there.

I was three years old.

Kept her warm after she dead

with blankets and shit, but-but...
