THE NIGHT OF on HBO. Mini-Series Part
3. Last night's episode was called, “The Dark Crate." The main
characters are, “Naz” (Riz Ahmed) John Stone (John Tuturro). HBO
will run repeats of this episode after the original airing. Check your listings.
“The Dark Crate.” The prison known
as “Riker's Island” has “Naz” sitting by himself with his
asthma inhaler. He's being watched by the leader inside that prison
who used to be a champion boxer. Freddy has money, drugs, cell phones
and gives sexual favors to a female guard. “Naz” is told to keep
to himself or he could likely be killed. The other prisoners watch TV
news about him who becomes a celebrity rapist and killer.
The parents of “Naz” have no money
to pay for a lawyer. John brings his fee down from $75,000 to
$50,000. The press already assumes “Naz” has ties to middle-east terrorism because he is a Pakistan. Detective Box makes sure his
homicide investigation is solid. John hasn't received any money, but defends
“Naz” to the press. He also goes to the crime scene to record his
own video. The victim named Andrea had a cat and John lets it back
inside her home. (Is this a clue?).
Alison Crowe is a top defense lawyer
who trashes John. She wants to represent “Naz” for no money. She
persuades his parents, but “Naz” likes John.
Alison is a lot more sleazier because her law firm goes after media-hyped
murder cases. Who cares about the guilt or innocence of
“Naz?." Apparently, only his parents, who know nothing about the U.S., judicial system. They are in way over their heads.
