A 12-year-old boy is injured and his baby brother is killed by gunshots and the investigation reveals that they were accidental victims of a hit and run against a real estate broker.

Kay's business is in fact a cover for laundering drug money. He used $300,000 of Ingrams' money for a personal investment but lost it, so Ingrams took out a hit on him. Kay refuses to testify against Ingrams even at the risk of another, successful hit. Since T-Ball will not be enough to convince the jury, Stone convinces the IRS to prosecute Kay for tax fraud, and then offers him a deal in exchange for immunity to the fraud charges.

** Kay was nearly murdered because he thought it was a good idea to gamble with a violent drug baron's money.
** Even without being able to read the address, T-Ball failed to realize that wealthy, white Kay probably wouldn't live in a poor Black neighborhood like the Winters'; and could easily have been killed for bungling the hit. Stone wryly points this out to him.
