The Defenders - Nevada vs. Carter

This episode of The Defenders started a little ho-hum but very quickly became something much cleverer.  The initial story has a dancer being accused of solicitation.  Nick tried to ring Pete to get him to go to the club because he has his son for the night.  Pete is in a poker game which he loses and has to defend an African-American man who is accused of robbing a white college boy with his friend.  While his friend only has a public defender who is overworked and cuts a deal of nine years from the DA who Pete is sleeping with.  Pete does some investigating and finds that the white boy lied and was in the area wanting to buy drugs and was not robbed.  Pete confronts the boy outside the court and convinces him to tell the truth, which he does but the DA doesn't care about that now and wants to get not only a win but to bring Pete down for confronting the college boy.  This turned out to be a great episode.
