Wes calls all the shots.
And his boys just got punked by some white dudes,
so he's hot as hell, but...I got it.
- Good.
- Yeah, uh-huh.
- So wait a minute, you want me to overlook what happened?
Just smile? Turn the other cheek
and let them boys just piss all over us?

Why we even discussing this?
They played us like some damn fools.
I say we go over there and do what's right.

the white boy, Nate.
Cracker think it's okay to violate me like that, us?

but I feel like we missing a big move right here.
Now why would we get revenge, when we could just use
that whole situation, that whole beat-down,
as some kind of bargaining chip or something?
Let me go over there and talk to Dexter.
I'll tell him that you pissed off.
Naturally he expected you to clap back,
but you smarter than that, right?

You may be seated.
State of Illinois vs. Alvin Olinsky.
Murder in the second degree, case #542234.
Mr. Osha?
- Your Honor, given the serious nature of the charge,
and the fact that the defendant was a veteran police officer
with unique knowledge of the criminal justice system,
as well as having access to confidential informants
and members of organized crime syndicates,
we believe he poses a significant flight risk.
And as such, we would request that
no bail be set, and that the defendant
be remanded to Cook County Jail until trial.
- Your Honor, the state's request
is both preposterous and punitive.
This case is built on sand.
The only evidence connecting Alvin Olinsky
to the homicide victim is a single strand of hair
and the testimony of a drug-addled witness.
As such, to hold Mr. Olinsky in prison
to leverage some sort of plea bargain
is unconscionable. Moreover, Mr. Olinsky's
put his life on the line for the people of this city
for over 30 years. - Mr. Manetti,
this is a bond hearing, not a closing argument.
