The trial just started and it’s already back to the drawing board for Mason, Street, and Drake.
Mateo, Rafael, and Sofia look out over an unfinished McCutcheon stadium’s moonlit. “It’s hard to look at and not think about what happened,” Sofia says. The dust and fog and eerie midnight silence of the place hit like echoes of a trumpet over a haunted battlefield. As we’ll soon learn, this ground doesn’t just represent the loss of a home but the loss of life. But Mateo is here to remember the good times too.
Mason’s counter is the best he can muster under the circumstances, a way to talk around the fact that his clients, as far as he knows, pulled the trigger: “This prosecution maintains that Brooks McCutcheon was our city’s last great shining star […], but when we introduce you to the real Brooks McCutcheon, you won’t be asking who in this town wanted him killed. You’ll be asking who didn’t?”
What about Councilman Taylor, Noreen Lawson’s brother whose district just so happens to be home to McCutcheon stadium? This guy “turned six shades of red” when Drake came around asking about his sister and her connection to Brooks. Maybe Brooks wronged his sister and Taylor wanted payback, hired two young guys at arm’s length so the McCutcheons wouldn’t suspect him. Again, given where we are in the season, it’s safe to assume this is a little off, but it’s pointing them in the right direction.
Mason has the rest of the day to yea-or-nay Burger’s deal, and he takes it to the Gallardo brothers in their cell, the searing light of the L.A. sun crashing against his face through the shadows of the bars . And this is where we get the full backstory. Yes, Mateo and Rafael took the hit job out of desperation and hunger, but it wasn’t just about that. McCutcheon stadium. “That used to be our neighborhood, our whole family lived there,” Rafael says.
