S4(A)E4 - Works of Mercy

“I’m not some candyass white liberal looking to turn you into better citizens.”

Beecher’s children, Holly and Gary, have been kidnapped. Beecher is certain that Schillinger is involved, but he has a hard time of proving it so he enlists Unit B’s Eli Zabitz to gather information. An FBI investigation is launched, with the evidence seemingly pointing the finger at Keller, who makes his return to Em City following his latest handshake with death. To make matters worse, a suspicious package arrives in the mailroom for Beecher.

Chucky dusts off his Boxing Gloves in Mobay’s latest labour in his attempt to “get in” with The Partners. Despite taking his licks, Mobay is set the ultimate final test.

Saide continues to play Amateur Lawyer as he informs the inmates involved in the Riot Lawsuit that despite the jury ruling in their favour, it’s likely to be a long time until they receive their payout. A confession from a Homicide Detective could prove beneficial to Jason’s case, but will Sadie’s conscience get the better of him?
