Gondo and Rayam are interviewed as all timelines converge.
Some of the best moments of the episode involve the back and forth between the two interviews, which are written and edited perfectly for the flow of the narrative. The way the writers eventually bring the timelines together is very well done.
More incidents of police criminality are depicted, particularly those against citizens not involved in illegal activity. Scenes of officers stealing legitimately earned money from working class people in order to fuel excessive lifestyles are some of the most damning portrayals in an already bleak picture. This follows on logically from the previous episode's depiction of jurors being dismissed for prejudice against the police following similar incidents and the difficulty on finding people in Baltimore without similar feelings.
It is an episode of monologues. These are quite cinematic ways for writers to make valid points of observation about the themes covered by the story. There is no question they are well written and performed, but for me in this type of series I am less interested in speeches and opinions as the facts portrayed speak for themselves.
As ever the production values and performances are top drawer.
