When you first started working for me,
did the police already know what you were going to do?

Hey.
What's going on?
Trying to find Angelo.
[ Whispering ]
I'm assuming you have some news.
Uh, yes, Your Honor.
The, uh, the state's witness, Angelo Torres,
cannot be located.
How is that possible?
We even sent a DI to his house to retrieve him.
He's cleared out. We believe he's left the country.
No, but he was under subpoena.
That was for Tuesday.
And he was here ‐‐ that morning.
Your people requested the adjournment.
It's not our fault the witness got spooked.
No, no, listen, Y‐Your Honor, please.
[ Sighs ]
This is just another dilatory tactic
by opposing counsel to impede my ability
to cross‐examine this man!
Mr. Wallace, I'm very sorry
things did not turn out as you had hoped.
But blaming the District Attorney
is not the appropriate response.
You're the one who asked for the adjournment.
This is the unintended consequence.

Tonight's the night.
6:00 in the visiting room.
That's great.
I'm pleased for you.
I'd be honored if you'd be my best man.
[ Sighs ]
You barely know me.
No one's ever done anything for me like what you did.
Please.
Of course.
Hey.
Thank you.

You've reached the voicemail of Jerry McCormick.
If this is business related to the Prison Board,
I'd prefer you call or e‐mail my office directly.
[ Beep ]
Hi, Jerry. It's Safiya Masry.
I wanted you to hear it from me first.
I've decided to go ahead and begin family visits ‐‐
starting tonight, with Nathan Goodleaf and his wife.

The idea that they might have
a few moments together before she dies
seemed more important than placating you.
So...I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing.
And ‐‐ And you can try to stop me if you like.

I watched them go through this ceremony.
It was really beautiful.
And, of course, my mind went to...
what it was like for us.
Mm.
But this wasn't that.
This was the wish of a dying woman
who shouldn't have waited.
She wasted the last 13 years of her life.
That's when I went into the box that's under my bed
and took out these.
When you gave these to me, I didn't like it.
But I understood.
And when you didn't bother me about it again,
I...thought maybe there was a way forward for us.
Then I realized that I was holding on,
dragging you down,
using your guilt to keep you tied to me.
I know what you gave up for me, Marie.
You could've had another child.
You could've had so much more.
But I'm gonna still keep fighting.
I'm not giving up.
But after losing Angelo, there's no reason to say
that anything's gonna happen for me anytime soon.
And I can't ask you to wait.
Not when it could be years.
♪♪
I love you, Marie.
♪♪
I always will.
