    Who Is Golding?

    Harry is sent to prison for the murder of Becker. He realizes that his brother Rich is threatened all the time and the prisoners and guards belong to Golding. Meanwhile, Anna asks Nikhail Julian to see Harry. Orwell hides evidence from Suri that will release Rich.

    "The House Always Wins" is probably the best episode of the First Season of "Lucky Man". The episode is full of action and betrayals, and Suri learns how wrong she was supporting Orwell. Winter is not a corrupt cop, and the most important, the identity of the notorious and powerful Golding is finally disclosed. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "The House Always Wins"

    • Goofs
      When Harry asks for his brother, Rich, to go on Rule 43 (isolation from other prisoners for fear of physical abuse), it hasn't been known as rule 43 since 1999, when it was renamed rule 45. As an experienced detective, Harry would not have made this mistake.
