Ugh, Scandinavia. Even their arrests are freakishly civilized.

Police in New Hampshire say they cited a driver who had a kid in her lap — as in a baby goat.

Marlborough police pulled the woman over on April Fools’ Day when they saw her using her cellphone.

They soon realized she was driving without a valid license — and with a goat. She was released on a citation and was counseled about distracted driving. On Facebook, police wrote, “I wish this was another April Fool’s joke baaaht it’s not.” (AP)

A Maryland man accused of abusing a pelican faces charges in the Florida Keys. William Hunter Hardesty of Riva was booked into jail in Key West late Monday. He was arrested March 15 after a video posted on Facebook went viral, showing him leaping onto the federally protected pelican as it floated next to the Key West Historic Seaport. He resurfaces holding the bird, which snaps at his face.

He loosens his grip and the bird flies away. (AP)

An off-duty police officer in Rinkeby, Sweden, found himself sitting in the same sauna as a fugitive who had dodged a jail sentence for aggravated assault, among other offenses. Police spokeswoman Carina Skagerlind said that after the two recognized each other, “the naked police officer calmly told the man that he should consider himself arrested.” The officer called colleagues to pick up the fugitive, Skagerlind said Tuesday.

Don’t bother the blossoms Park rangers caution that cherry trees are as fragile as the blooms

Bryce Harper set off a firestorm of hot takes after he gave Silver Diner a shoutout in a thank you to Nats fans on Tuesday.

THE DISTRICT With peak bloom in full swing in the District, tourists and locals have descended upon the Tidal Basin to walk and take photos among the cherry blossoms.

But to some of the visitors who might be there to pluck the blossoms or pose on the branches, the National Park Service has a message: Don’t.

“The cherry trees are truly special and they’re very fragile,” said Bob Healy, an NPS park ranger of 34 years.

This is Healy’s 19th Cherry Blossom Festival and part of his job is educating the festival’s annual 1.5 million visitors on how to enjoy the famous trees without damaging them. Last Sunday, Healy staffed an information booth at the Tidal Basin where visitors can receive a Cherry Blossom Protector badge by taking an oath to protect the trees.

Healy said the bark on the trees is easily damaged when visitors pull or climb on them.

The slightest fracture of the bark could let in what he calls “the bad

The cherry blossom trees are “very fragile,” park rangers say. Climbing on them can easily damage the bark.

guys,” or fungus, which causes root rot, shortening the life span of the trees. But fungus isn’t the NPS’s only concern.

Mike Litterst, a spokesman for NPS, said visitors who wander off the paved sidewalk and onto the roots of the trees can compact the soil, preventing nutrients from getting in.

Visitors stripping petals from the trees, or climbing and breaking branches, are also hazards.

“We had someone last year, a photographer, climbing trees to

get the perfect shot of a wedding or engagement portrait,” Litterst said. “They shared [the photo] on Twitter. We had to say, ‘Hey, don’t be that guy.’ ” Healy said he often sees families placing their young children onto the delicate branches of the trees for photographs.

“If I had young children, I’d probably want to do that myself,” he admitted. Instead, Healy asks families to only take photos in front of the trees.

“We see all of these violations

as teachable moments,” Litterst said, adding that even NPS’ junior ranger program and volunteers receive training on educating the public about protecting the trees. NPS also has a fulltime tree crew, which works year-round to prune the trees and repair loose bark.

Luckily, Litterst said, the vast majority of visitors are respectful of the cherry blossoms.

“They’re helping us take care of them,” he said. CHELSEA CIRRUZZO (FOR EXPRESS)

Coalition speaks out against D.C. protest fees Groups could be charged for the costs of protests under a National Park Service proposal.

99-YEAR LEASE

Metro puts its headquarters on the market SALWAN GEORGES (THE WASHINGTON POST)

THE DISTRICT Eight organizations have joined forces against a National Park Service proposal that would require activists to pay the government back for the cost of protests and limit where in Washington demonstrators can gather.

In its first collective act, the coalition submitted a letter Monday to members of Congress, urging them to push the acting director of the Park Service to halt attempts to change how the agency handles demonstrations.

It is the latest push by civil rights groups and activist organizations to scuttle the Park Service’s proposal.

“Our organizations do not agree on all issues, but one principle we unreservedly support is our right to gather together to express ourselves,” the letter said.

“The quintessential locations for these expressive gatherings in the United States are the National Mall and the public spaces surrounding the White House. … We are very concerned that, should these rules go into effect, they will chill speech and harm our national discourse.”

The group is led by the American Civil Liberties Union and comprises organizations that include the left-leaning left leaning Public

Citizen and the NAACP, as well as the conservative Charles Koch Institute and the March for Life Education and Defense Fund.

Dan Smith, the acting head of the Park Service, is scheduled to sit before the House Natural Resources Committee today to discuss “the spending priorities and mission of the National Park Service.”

“We’re aware that the Park Service is ostensibly still going through public comments and making their decision on whether to implement these rules, and we wanted to make the point that we have our eye on them, and the best thing that could happen is for the National Park Service to

withdraw them altogether,” said Kate Ruane, senior legislative counsel for the ACLU. Smith “has the authority now to approve [the proposals] if they come before him, and he also has the authority to withdraw them completely.”

Park Service officials have said the agency’s limited resources have made facilitating protests difficult as the frequency and size of demonstrations have grown in recent years.

But the idea of being asked to repay costs has alarmed activists, who said the charges would probably limit large-scale demonstrations to a select few groups that could afford to incur them.

Metro took another step Tuesday toward relocating its headquarters by announcing the site of its current home, the land under the Jackson Graham Building, is available for long-term lease. The hulking, Brutalist-style building, occupying roughly an acre along 5th Street NW between F and G streets in the Judiciary Square area, has not undergone a major renovation since it opened 45 years ago, according to Metro, which described the structure as “inefficient” and out of compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. As part of a 99-year lease offering, the agency pledged to vacate the building by December 2022 as it relocates most of its operations to a new headquarters building on 7th Street SW in the L’Enfant Plaza area.

Judge: Police must stop license plate surveillance A Fairfax County judge on Monday ordered the Fairfax police to stop maintaining a database of photos of vehicle license plates, with the time and location where they were snapped, ruling that “passive use” of data from automated license plate readers on the back of patrol cars violates Virginia privacy law. The ruling is a victory for privacy rights advocates who argued that the police could track a person’s movements by compiling the times and exact locations of a car anytime its plate was captured by a license plate reader.

nation+world Woman was carrying two Chinese passports and a malware device PALM BEACH, FLA. A woman carrying two Chinese passports and a device containing computer malware lied to Secret Service agents and briefly gained admission to President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club over the weekend during his Florida visit, federal prosecutors allege in court documents.

Yujing Zhang, 32, approached a Secret Service agent at a checkpoint outside the Palm Beach club early Saturday afternoon and said she was a member who wanted to use the pool, court documents said. She showed the

passports as identification.

Agents say she wasn’t on the membership list, but a club manager thought Zhang was the daughter of a member. Agents say that when they asked Zhang if the member was her father, she did not answer definitively but they thought it might be a language barrier and admitted her.

Zhang’s story changed when she got inside, agents say, telling a receptionist she was there to attend the United Nations Chinese American Association event scheduled for that evening. No such event was scheduled and agents were summoned.

Agent Samuel Ivanovich wrote in court documents that Zhang told him that she was there for the Chinese American event and

had come early to familiarize herself with the club and take photos, again contradicting what she had said at the checkpoint.

He said Zhang was taken off the grounds. Ivanovich said she became argumentative, so she was taken to the local Secret Service office for questioning.

There, he said, it became clear Zhang speaks and reads English well. He said Zhang said she had traveled from Shanghai to attend the nonexistent event on the invitation of an acquaintance named “Charles,” whom she only knew through a Chinese social media app. Ivanovich said she denied telling the checkpoint agents she was a member wanting to swim.

Ivanovich said Zhang carried four cellphones, a laptop computer, an external hard drive and a thumb drive containing computer malware. She did not have a swimsuit. TERRY SPENCER (AP)

SAUDI ARABIA The children of slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi have received million-dollar houses in the kingdom and monthly five-figure payments as compensation for the killing of their father, according to current and former Saudi officials as well as people close to the family.

Khashoggi’s two sons and two daughters may also receive much larger payouts — possibly tens of millions of dollars apiece — as part of “blood money” negotiations, according to the officials and others who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive talks.

The previously undisclosed payments are part of an effort

by Saudi Arabia to reach a long-term arrangement with Khashoggi family members, aimed in part at ensuring that they continue to show restraint in their public statements about the killing of their father by Saudi operatives in Istanbul six months ago, the officials said.

The Khashoggi siblings have refrained from any harsh criticism of the kingdom, even as their father’s death provoked widespread condemnation of the heir to the Saudi throne, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The homes and monthly payments of $10,000 or more to each sibling were approved late last year by King Salman as part of what one former official described as an attempt “to make a wrong right.” GREG MILLER (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Lawmakers pass initial vote for new gun restrictions

Ailing President Bouteflika steps down after 20 years

House to subpoena official over security clearances

New Zealand lawmakers on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly in favor of new gun restrictions during the first stage of a bill they hope to rush into law by the end of next week. The bill would ban the types of weapons a gunman used to kill 50 people at two mosques last month. Only a single lawmaker from the 120 in Parliament voted against the bill.

The vote was the first of three that lawmakers must pass. It would ban “military-style” semi-automatic guns and high-capacity magazines, semi-automatic shotguns that could be fitted with detachable magazines and pump-action shotguns that can hold more than five rounds. (AP)

Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika stepped down Tuesday after 20 years in office, and six weeks of massive nationwide protests aimed at pushing him from power. The announcement followed soon after a stern call from the powerful army chief for Bouteflika, 82 and ailing, to “immediately” bow out. The Constitutional Council is expected to convene today to formalize his departure. Under the constitution, the president of the upper house steps in as interim leader for 90 days so that elections can be organized. The move came a day after Bouteflika’s office said he would leave by April 28. (AP)

The House Oversight and Reform Committee voted Tuesday to subpoena Carl Kline, the former White House personnel security director accused of overturning denials for security clearances. The move follows whistleblower Tricia Newbold’s allegation that President Trump’s White House has behaved recklessly regarding national security. Newbold told the panel in March that Kline, then her direct manager, overruled clearance denials and retaliated when she objected.

Newbold also said she has counted over 25 clearance denials that had been approved since 2018 despite red flags. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Trump postpones ACA fight POLITICS President Trump abandoned plans to press for a vote on a bill to replace the Affordable Care Act ahead of next year’s elections following a conversation with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky Republican said Tuesday.

McConnell told reporters that he and Trump had “a good conversation” Monday afternoon in which he said that Senate Republicans had no intention of trying to overhaul President Obama’s signature health care law during a campaign season — a move many in the GOP saw as politically perilous, given that the issue helped Democrats in last year’s midterm elections.

“I made it clear to him we were not going to be doing that in the Senate,” McConnell said, also citing the difficulty in crafting a bill that could pass the Democratic-led House. “We don’t have a misunderstanding about that.”

In tweets late Monday night after the two men had talked, Trump signaled that he was punting on the issue.

“Vote will be taken right after the Election when Republicans hold the Senate & win back the House,” Trump wrote. “It will be truly great HealthCare that will work for America.”

McConnell said Tuesday that Trump still plans to develop a health care plan to present to

voters during the campaign.

Congressional Republicans were caught off guard by Trump’s rapid pivot to health care last week, which was set off by his decision to direct the Justice Department to intervene in a federal court case seeking to eliminate the ACA on constitutional grounds.

Trump later showed up at a Senate Republican luncheon where he declared that the GOP should be the “party of health care” and asked for assistance in writing a new bill.

It soon became apparent, however, that other Republicans had little appetite to take on the issue.

Despite the delay in legislative action, the Trump administration is continuing to push for the dismantling of the ACA through the courts.

On Tuesday morning, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., held an event outside the Supreme Court urging the Justice Department to reverse its position in the case.

“We’re here to condemn what the president did,” Pelosi said.

“Americans need to know where their representatives stand.”

Schumer mocked Trump for pushing off the health care debate until after the elections.

“Translation: They have no health care plan,” Schumer said.

NASA: India’s space test was ‘unacceptable’ One week after India became the fourth country to target and shatter a satellite in low Earth orbit with a missile, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine condemned the move.

During a town hall meeting Monday, Bridenstine, above, called the test “unacceptable.” He said, “Intentionally creating orbital debris fields is not compatible with human space flight.”

According to a NASA assessment last week, the Indian space test increased the likelihood of small debris hitting the International Space Station (ISS) by 44 percent over a period of 10 days. The risk is expected to eventually return to normal. In space, even small objects can do catastrophic damage.

“What we’re tracking right now — objects big enough to track, we’re talking about 10 centimeters or bigger — about 60 pieces have been tracked,” Bridenstine said, referring to the fallout of the Indian space test.

The Indian Foreign Ministry defended its test last week, saying in a statement: “Whatever debris that is generated will decay and fall back onto the earth within weeks.” It did not acknowledge that debris could pose a threat to the ISS. The satellite destroyed by India last week was 186 miles from Earth, whereas the ISS usually circles Earth at 205 miles.

But the test pushed some debris deeper into space. RICK NOACK

Experts warn of census risks

Sound. Informed.

NATIONAL SECURITY With just a year to go before the 2020 Census, the U.S. government is urgently working to safeguard against hacking and disinformation campaigns as it develops a plan to count about 330 million people largely online for the first time.

Going digital is intended to cut costs. But cybersecurity experts say it may also put the survey at unprecedented risk in a nation embroiled in fallout from Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Any outside attempt to discredit or manipulate the decennial survey could drive down response rates, imperiling the integrity of data that help determine a decade’s worth of federal funding, congressional apportionment and redistricting throughout the country.

“Just as with voting, completing the census is a powerful exercise in our democracy, and there are always people who want to prevent others from exercising their power,” said Indivar DuttaGupta, co-executive director of the Georgetown Center on Poverty and Inequality and an expert on the census. “I think there will be lots of attempts. We should be concerned.”

So far, there has been no indication of anyone trying to target the survey, but experts say the risks will probably grow as the launch draws closer. Census Bureau officials say they are working with experts in the

Census Bureau officials say such activity will be detected as incoming responses are automatically checked against existing records; if a discrepancy is spotted, it will be flagged for human review. The bureau has been working with DHS’ Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security

Agency, where a team of about 20 people is focused on helping secure the system and gaming out possible hacks.

“The two most important things that I’ve got going on in both prepping and executing next year are the election and the census,” an official there said.

Even if census data aren’t hacked, cybersecurity concerns could create an atmosphere ripe for disinformation campaigns seeking to influence how, or whether, people fill out surveys.

“It’s tough, for those who care about the census,” Dutta-Gupta said. “We have to be careful in not raising false alarms or concerning people more than they need to be, since trust is essential in ensuring a fair and accurate count.”

The U.S. Government Accountability Office has put the 2020 count on its high-risk list, and in a report last month it cited more than 1,000 system security weaknesses and warned that the bureau needs to address them “before systems are deployed.”

Nick Marinos, director of IT and cybersecurity issues at the GAO, said: “This is an unprecedented effort. … Globally, there haven’t been too many online censuses performed. I think the bureau itself is anxious and I think that is warranted. I think we are also holding our breath, waiting to see what the next six months brings.” TARA BAHRAMPOUR (THE WASHINGTON POST)

House approves subpoenas over census question POLITICS The House Committee on Oversight and Reform voted Tuesday to compel the Trump administration to provide more information on its decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census.

The 23-to-14 vote authorizes committee chair Elijah Cummings, D-Md., to issue subpoenas for a deposition of principal deputy assistant attorney general John Gore and for documents from the Departments of Commerce and Justice related to the decision.

It comes three weeks before the Supreme Court is set to consider whether the question will be allowed on the forms every household in the U.S. will be required to fill out next year.

Two federal judges have struck it down, saying Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross’ actions in adding the question were in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act. The committee met last month with Gore but said he refused to answer over 150 questions, citing ongoing litigation.

Opponents of the question say that its inclusion will deter many immigrants from participating. A reduced response rate would threaten the count’s accuracy and could harm people who live in areas with large immigrant populations. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the matter

by June, shortly before the survey forms are due to go to the printer. TARA BAHRAMPOUR (TWP)

RETURN TO D.C.

Bryce offers a good vibe on first visit

Wizards fire longtime GM WIZARDS Wizards majority owner Ted Leonsis finally ran out of patience with team president Ernie Grunfeld.

The team announced Tuesday that it had fired Grunfeld after 16 years at the helm of the franchise’s basketball operations.

Under his watch, the Wizards never won 50 games in a season or advanced past the second round of the playoffs.

Overall, the team was 568724 — a winning percentage of .440 — since Grunfeld was put in charge in June 2003.

At 32-46, Washington will miss the playoffs this season after making the postseason two years in a row.

“We did not meet our stated goals of qualifying for the playoffs this season and, despite playing with injuries to several key players, we have a culture of accountability and a responsibility of managing to positive outcomes,” Leonsis said in a statement, in which he also thanked Grunfeld, 63, for his service.

I n a more sp spont ont a ne ous

comment, Leonsis said, “I take responsibility … we failed and I failed.”

Injuries were certainly a factor this season. Point guard John Wall and center Dwight Howard both missed most of the season, and forward Markieff Morris also was injured before getting traded.

For now, the club’s senior vice president of basketball operations, Tommy Sheppard, will report to Leonsis on all basketball matters.

The team said that Sheppard, a longtime assistant to Grunfeld, will be a candidate when it begins a search for a new head of basketball operations upon the conclusion of the regular season next week.

The Wizards have four games left, including a home game tonight against Chicago.

Wizards fans eager to see Grunfeld ousted often noted that only four other NBA executives served as long in the same role — Miami’s Pat Riley, Dallas’ Donnie Nelson, San Antonio’s R.C. Buford and Boston’s Danny

Team president Ernie Grunfeld took over the Wizards’ basketball operations in 2003.

Early success, then poof Soon after being hired in 2003, Ernie Grunfeld helped build a team led by Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler that made the playoffs four years in a row, starting in spring 2005. That squad was undone by an infamous incident in which Arenas brought guns into the locker room, leading Grunfeld to later rebuild around John Wall. (TWP)

Ainge — and all won at least one championship during that time.

Among Grunfeld’s notable recent decisions was a four-year, $64 million deal for center Ian Mahinmi in the summer of 2016 and maximum contracts for

three core players he drafted — Wall, Bradley Beal and Otto Porter Jr. — that hampered the team’s financial flexibility and ability to improve.

Porter was traded to Chicago on Feb. 6 mostly for financial relief.

Wall is expected to miss most or possibly all of next season with an Achilles tendon rupture, just as his supermax contract kicks in at a base salary of $37.8 million for the 2019-2020 season.

Grunfeld joined the Wizards after a successful NBA playing career — most notably with the New York Knicks — and front-office positions with the Knicks and Milwaukee Bucks.

Wearing a black baseball hat with “Positive Vibes” stitched in white and an attitude to match, Bryce Harper showed up at Nationals Park as an opponent for the first time Tuesday with his new club, the Philadelphia Phillies.

“It was definitely different. But it felt good. Felt normal,” he said before donning his Phillies uniform to face Max Scherzer and the Nationals. “Just coming to another stadium and try to do my job.” Earlier Tuesday, he posted a thank you message to Nationals fans and the city of Washington on Instagram. Harper was third in the Phillies’ batting order as the right fielder Tuesday, but his first at-bat had to wait because the start of the 7:05 p.m. game was delayed by rain. (AP)

The Bears reached their first Final Four since 2012 by dismantling the offense of No. 2 seed Iowa.

In a matchup billed as the battle of the bigs, Baylor center Kalani Brown, above, and forward Lauren Cox went against Iowa star Megan Gustafson. Baylor won 85-53 as Gustafson made nine field goals, the same number her Iowa teammates combined to make.

The Ducks relied on their star to push them over the Elite Eight hump in the regional final in Portland, Ore. Junior guard and Pac-12 player of the year Sabrina Ionescu had 31 points, eight assists and seven rebounds as No. 2 seed Oregon upset No. 1 seed Mississippi State 88-84 on Sunday. The Ducks had been eliminated in the regional final the past two seasons.

The Huskies reached their 12th consecutive Final Four by beating No. 1 seed Louisville 80-73 on Sunday.

They were led by senior guard Katie Lou Samuelson, who scored 29 while still recovering from the back injury that kept her out of four games heading into the tournament. UConn is seeking its 12th national title, having lost on last-second shots in the past two national semifinals.

CAPITALS Defenseman Michal Kempny will miss the rest of this season, including the playoffs, after having surgery for a torn left hamstring, the Capitals announced Tuesday. The expected recovery time is four to six months.

The news is a blow to the Capitals’ blue line with the postseason just a week away. Washington acquired Kempny from Chicago before the trade deadline last season, and his strong skating made him a good fit beside top defenseman John Carlson.

Kempny, 28, had been enjoying a career season before

Defenseman Michal Kempny has a recovery time of four to six months.

getting hurt against Tampa Bay on March 20. He averaged more than 19 minutes per game and scored six goals with 19 assists.

He tore his hamstring during a tussle with Lightning center

Cedric Paquette. Kempny landed awkwardly on his left leg while Paquette wrestled him to the ice, and the Capitals took issue with how Paquette continued to punch Kempny while he was down.

With Kempny out for the past six games, Washington has played second-year defenseman Christian Djoos in Kempny’s place beside Carlson. Coach Todd Reirden also has tried playing Carlson on the left, his off side, while having Nick Jensen on the right. Jensen was acquired from Detroit before the trade deadline this season.

CRITIC’S NOTEBOOK

Kane Brown

Lion Babe roars on the dance floor

Brooks & Dunn

Brothers Osborne

The more the merrier Brooks & Dunn enlisted country music’s biggest stars to rework their classic hits

MUSIC Country superstar duo Brooks & Dunn got back in the studio together for the first time in about a decade to rework their classic songs with the next generation of country stars, including Kacey Musgraves, Kane Brown and Luke Combs.

The covers album called “Reboot,” out Friday, shows the timelessness of the duo’s catalog of No. 1 country hits, which has continued to influence a new generation of country singers.

The idea came from noticing that many newer country acts were including covers of Brooks & Dunn hits in their live shows.

“A couple of acts, like Luke Combs, were playing our music,”

Kix Brooks says. “Ronnie [Dunn] shows me this online live version of ‘Neon Moon’ that Kacey Musgraves was doing.”

After their manager suggested a collaborative covers album, Dunn said he thought none of the artists they reached out to would actually want to do it. But he was wrong.

“Everybody called back,” Dunn says. “Everybody had a song they wanted to do, and lo and behold they wanted us to be in the studio with them when they did it.”

The Dann Huff-produced record includes a mix of today’s country hit makers, including Thomas Rhett, Jon Pardi, Ashley McBryde, Brothers Osborne,

There’s no doubt that Lion Babe has created a collection of beatdriven, catchy songs in the duo’s sophomore album, “Cosmic Wind,” released Friday. Jillian Hervey’s strong, soulful vocals shine through, accompanied by the production influence of Lucas Goodman.

The first single, “Western World,” fits the album’s penchant for dance-floor songs.

“Reminisce” shows off Hervey’s hip-hop chops, while “Hit the Ceiling” shows off her range. Although the songs do struggle to distinguish themselves, at times running together, Lion Babe still created a feel-good album certain to make the listener move.

Bill Hader, left, and Henry Winkler won Emmys for the first season of “Barry.”

‘Barry’ on target with killer encore The hit-man comedy plunges deeper into darkness in Season 2 TV REVIEW Although it was among the best shows on TV last year, HBO’s dark comedy “Barry” also made a strong, if unintended, case for the one-and-done theory of superior television: If a single season is so taut and fully realized, why not admire its sublime perfection and agree to walk away?

The answer, of course, rests in one of the great promises of the medium: In TV, more isn’t merely a suggestion; more is the ideal state of being. “Barry,” created

by Alec Berg and Bill Hader, returned Sunday with almost no trace of encore jitters.

Instead “Barry” takes us deeper into the wounded heart of darkness belonging to its title character — played by Hader, who won an Emmy for his performance in Season 1. The show now further explores Barry’s ability to compartmentalize his life as a ruthless hit man for hire who is responsible for killing so many people (including the L.A. detective who tracked him down) with the part of himself who aspires to be an actor, finding unexpected happiness in workshop classes taught by Gene Cousineau

(Henry Winkler, “Barry’s” other big Emmy winner).

Picking up a few weeks from where Season 1 left off, “Barry” steps back to expand on its flawed protagonist’s delusional hope that his criminal days are behind him, even as Detective Loach (John Pirruccello), the bereaved partner of the missing/ presumed murdered Detective Moss (Paula Newsome), picks up on the leads she left behind, which brings Barry’s estranged boss, Fuches (Stephen Root) back into the picture.

To that, add the reappearance of fan-favorite NoHo Hank (Anthony Carrigan), the hilariously inept Chechen mob boss.

Hank now needs Barry to help him eliminate a newly arrived Burmese crime lord. The idea, obviously, is that Barry can only continue to sink into the moral quagmire that requires his sharpshooting prowess, no matter how much sympathy we feel for him.

The darkness gets darker, yet “Barry” is sticking to its comedic intent and half-hour format. This is remarkable, given that it plays as intensely and satisfyingly as “Breaking Bad” once did. Here, however, the one who knocks would give anything to not have to be the one who knocks.
