'Baptiste' Season 1 Episode 2 Recap: "Measure of a Man"

'Baptiste' Season 1 Episode 2 Recap: "Measure of a Man"

After last week's wild ending which revealed Natalie Rose alive and Edward Stratton with a head in his basement, this week's Baptiste picks right back up at Natalie's houseboat hideout. Stratton isn't her uncle; he's a client, and an obsessive one at that. Natalie says he began double and triple booking and then demanding to know how much she would charge to be his kept woman.

When she told him that wasn't an option, Stratton broke her jaw. Baptiste is perplexed, both that this man he trusted was such a liar, and must have known his lies would collapse the moment she was found. Natalie is amazed she has to spell it out for him: Stratton doesn't give a damn about the police because he's untouchable.

Baptiste: The only way to trust someone is to trust them.
Stratton: Ernest Hemmingway.
