1
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:08,258
On the morning
that Mr. Bondurant was murdered,
2
00:00:08,341 --> 00:00:09,509
I saw her very clearly.
3
00:00:09,592 --> 00:00:13,013
A coffee shop near his office
an hour before the murder
4
00:00:13,096 --> 00:00:14,347
is not the crime scene.
5
00:00:14,431 --> 00:00:17,183
Does the prosecution have
any other witnesses to call
6
00:00:17,267 --> 00:00:18,560
or evidence to present?
7
00:00:18,643 --> 00:00:20,103
Something you should know.
8
00:00:20,186 --> 00:00:23,356
I was there that morning
in front of the building, like she said.
9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:24,941
You have to tell me everything.
10
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:26,234
That's everything.
11
00:00:26,943 --> 00:00:28,361
What did you discover?
12
00:00:28,445 --> 00:00:32,032
What appeared to be a small blood stain
on the right-hand glove.
13
00:00:32,115 --> 00:00:35,577
Why is Mitchell Bondurant's blood
on your gardening gloves?
14
00:00:35,660 --> 00:00:38,955
I don't know, okay? I don't know.
15
00:00:41,750 --> 00:00:45,378
Tell me. How much did Alex Grant pay you
to have me beaten up in my garage?
16
00:00:45,462 --> 00:00:46,546
What?
17
00:00:46,629 --> 00:00:48,840
David Webber works for Alex Grant.
18
00:00:48,923 --> 00:00:51,176
That means so do you.
This isn't about a podcast.
19
00:00:51,259 --> 00:00:54,846
It's about making sure Lisa takes the fall
for Mitchell Bondurant's murder.
20
00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:57,474
Now, Mr. Grant,
would you care to explain to the court
21
00:00:57,557 --> 00:01:00,435
what suspicious activity
Mr. Bondurant was alluding to?
22
00:01:00,518 --> 00:01:04,355
One email may have been enough
to goad Mr. Grant into testifying.
23
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:07,567
It is not enough to prove
he is relevant to this case.
24
00:01:07,650 --> 00:01:11,488
Find something else
to suggest Alex Grant's involvement.
25
00:01:11,571 --> 00:01:14,032
That is if you want
to use this defense at trial.
26
00:02:45,665 --> 00:02:48,459
- You want milk or sugar?
- Whatever's fine!
27
00:02:48,543 --> 00:02:50,461
You're gonna be late for court.
28
00:02:50,545 --> 00:02:55,133
Hey. My lesson ends at 6:00.
I can take an Uber home if it's easier.
29
00:02:55,216 --> 00:02:56,843
No, no. I love picking you up.
30
00:02:57,427 --> 00:02:59,554
I did find a stable
that's closer to your mom.
31
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:01,117
Do you wanna try it out?
32
00:03:01,181 --> 00:03:02,473
I don't know.
33
00:03:02,557 --> 00:03:06,227
I love my horse.
And I like that you get to see me ride.
34
00:03:06,728 --> 00:03:08,479
Okay.
35
00:03:11,191 --> 00:03:13,484
You don't have to feel weird
about me and your mom.
36
00:03:13,568 --> 00:03:16,404
- I'm fine, honey. You can pick it up.
- Hurry up.
37
00:03:16,487 --> 00:03:18,990
All right. I love you. Have fun.
38
00:03:19,073 --> 00:03:20,116
Love you.
39
00:03:23,161 --> 00:03:24,161
All right.
40
00:03:27,665 --> 00:03:29,167
Don't tell my doctor.
41
00:03:29,667 --> 00:03:32,170
He's got me on a strict diet.
42
00:03:32,837 --> 00:03:38,051
No booze, no cholesterol,
no carbs, no joy.
43
00:03:38,134 --> 00:03:40,136
Now, what's so important
44
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:43,181
that you had to see me
on the morning your trial starts?
45
00:03:45,099 --> 00:03:48,269
Someone left this
on my doorstep last night.
46
00:03:50,271 --> 00:03:51,814
An FBI target letter?
47
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:55,985
Yeah, addressed to Alex Grant,
also known as Alex Kazarian. My straw man.
48
00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:59,239
I prefer the term "alternate suspect."
49
00:03:59,322 --> 00:04:02,075
And this says that your alternate suspect
50
00:04:02,158 --> 00:04:05,662
is a person of interest
in a federal investigation.
51
00:04:05,745 --> 00:04:06,913
Construction fraud.
52
00:04:06,996 --> 00:04:08,957
You know that email
Mitchell Bondurant sent?
53
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,876
- Well, this puts it in a whole new light.
- How so?
54
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,380
Well, Bondurant sends an email
threatening to expose Alex Grant.
55
00:04:15,463 --> 00:04:17,340
By itself, it's not clear what he meant.
56
00:04:17,423 --> 00:04:19,884
Judge said it wasn't enough
to point the finger at him.
57
00:04:19,968 --> 00:04:22,553
She needed more. Well, this is more.
58
00:04:22,637 --> 00:04:25,807
This makes it look like
Alex Grant was up to something illegal.
59
00:04:25,890 --> 00:04:28,810
And that email he sent?
It wasn't a threat. It was blackmail.
60
00:04:28,893 --> 00:04:32,689
Blackmail's a pretty good motive
to kill someone if it's legit.
61
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:38,486
But this? This just shows up
on your doorstep on the eve of trial?
62
00:04:39,445 --> 00:04:40,280
Yeah, I know.
63
00:04:40,363 --> 00:04:42,907
Either someone's
really trying to help you,
64
00:04:42,991 --> 00:04:45,243
or they're really trying to fuck with you.
65
00:04:45,326 --> 00:04:46,911
You gotta find out which one.
66
00:04:46,995 --> 00:04:48,371
How do I do that?
67
00:04:48,454 --> 00:04:52,166
Well, first, you gotta confirm
that the letter is real or not.
68
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:54,377
And you gotta do it fast.
69
00:04:55,795 --> 00:04:58,172
The cop who handled the investigation.
70
00:04:58,673 --> 00:05:02,051
That's who you wanna spring this on
during cross.
71
00:05:02,135 --> 00:05:04,470
Nah, the prosecutor will call him first.
72
00:05:04,554 --> 00:05:06,973
Then you gotta confirm it
before then.
73
00:05:08,182 --> 00:05:10,268
Kid, you sure about this?
74
00:05:10,935 --> 00:05:13,855
You said this guy Grant
was the one who had you beaten up.
75
00:05:14,355 --> 00:05:16,691
What if he tries something more permanent?
76
00:05:17,859 --> 00:05:20,111
I think I have a way
to make him feel safe.
77
00:05:32,665 --> 00:05:34,667
Mm.
78
00:05:35,418 --> 00:05:37,920
Kenny Dorham, 1955.
79
00:05:38,004 --> 00:05:40,131
- You've been studying, huh?
- Listening.
80
00:05:40,882 --> 00:05:44,093
This guy was one of the most underrated
trumpet players of all time.
81
00:05:44,886 --> 00:05:47,680
My dad used to listen to it
whenever he had a big case.
82
00:05:47,764 --> 00:05:48,806
I don't know why.
83
00:05:49,766 --> 00:05:51,726
Good to have an underdog mentality, right?
84
00:05:52,518 --> 00:05:54,187
No matter how many trials I've done,
85
00:05:54,270 --> 00:05:57,607
it's always like
learning to ride a bicycle again.
86
00:05:58,566 --> 00:06:00,693
It's nerve-racking
starting a new anything.
87
00:06:03,863 --> 00:06:04,906
I, uh...
88
00:06:06,991 --> 00:06:09,118
I wanted to say thank you again.
89
00:06:09,952 --> 00:06:11,037
For what?
90
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,246
Being generous.
91
00:06:12,955 --> 00:06:14,248
With that money Ray got.
92
00:06:14,332 --> 00:06:17,627
I'm meeting with the property manager
tomorrow on the studio
93
00:06:17,710 --> 00:06:19,337
to give him my first month's rent.
94
00:06:19,420 --> 00:06:22,632
Ah, Izzy, that's great. Congratulations.
95
00:06:23,424 --> 00:06:26,636
- So, you have something new too, huh?
- Yeah.
96
00:06:26,719 --> 00:06:29,263
Now I just have to not mess it up.
97
00:06:29,889 --> 00:06:31,265
Oh, almost forgot.
98
00:06:31,349 --> 00:06:34,769
I got your mail from the office.
Figured you wouldn't have time.
99
00:06:35,436 --> 00:06:37,855
See? This is what I'm gonna miss
when you're gone.
100
00:06:37,939 --> 00:06:40,400
What am I gonna do without you, huh?
101
00:06:40,483 --> 00:06:42,944
I have a feeling
Lorna will keep you in line.
102
00:07:00,586 --> 00:07:02,213
Who's covering you at the office?
103
00:07:02,296 --> 00:07:04,132
I hired some temps from law school.
104
00:07:05,216 --> 00:07:06,843
How many?
105
00:07:06,926 --> 00:07:08,636
- Four.
- Four?
106
00:07:09,470 --> 00:07:11,347
Have you seen our caseload lately?
107
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:14,642
That's how many it would take
to cover work Izzy and I've been doing.
108
00:07:14,725 --> 00:07:16,936
Right. All right.
109
00:07:20,857 --> 00:07:22,150
Oh. Mickey.
110
00:07:22,233 --> 00:07:23,359
You look great.
111
00:07:24,068 --> 00:07:26,737
- Perfect choice for the first day.
- Thank you.
112
00:07:28,156 --> 00:07:30,950
Everything's gonna be okay.
All right? Just be calm.
113
00:07:31,033 --> 00:07:34,120
Keep your cool in front of the jury
no matter what you hear, all right?
114
00:07:34,203 --> 00:07:35,788
Yeah. Anything?
115
00:07:35,872 --> 00:07:37,457
Not yet, but he's on it.
116
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,001
Look, man. I can get you tickets.
117
00:07:40,084 --> 00:07:41,961
I need backstage passes.
118
00:07:42,044 --> 00:07:43,588
It's gonna take time.
119
00:07:43,671 --> 00:07:45,715
Yeah, well, you got 24 hours.
120
00:07:45,798 --> 00:07:46,924
Twenty-four hours?
121
00:07:47,425 --> 00:07:48,634
I'll pay double.
122
00:07:50,052 --> 00:07:52,430
All right, then. I'll pay triple.
123
00:07:52,513 --> 00:07:53,973
I'll see what I can do.
124
00:07:55,683 --> 00:07:57,393
Help me with this bad boy, will you?
125
00:08:10,531 --> 00:08:12,325
Which one is our juror?
126
00:08:12,408 --> 00:08:15,119
Front row, second from right.
Gary Furlong.
127
00:08:15,203 --> 00:08:16,454
Why him?
128
00:08:16,537 --> 00:08:18,539
Because when Cisco did a background check,
129
00:08:18,623 --> 00:08:20,917
he found out
that Furlong's father got evicted.
130
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,670
He lost his home to a developer.
Ended up in a lawsuit. So, I asked...
131
00:08:24,754 --> 00:08:27,632
Please raise your hand if you or anyone
in your immediate family
132
00:08:27,715 --> 00:08:31,010
has been involved
in a dispute with a property developer.
133
00:08:38,017 --> 00:08:39,560
Don't you have to report that?
134
00:08:39,644 --> 00:08:40,895
Technically, he didn't lie.
135
00:08:40,978 --> 00:08:43,898
His wife and kids
are his immediate family. Not his father.
136
00:08:44,398 --> 00:08:46,651
Not my problem
if Andrea didn't do her homework.
137
00:08:46,734 --> 00:08:50,238
This guy has a grudge against developers.
Does that mean he'll be on our side?
138
00:08:50,321 --> 00:08:53,783
Maybe. Don't get too excited.
Andrea's got her jurors too.
139
00:08:53,866 --> 00:08:54,951
Haller.
140
00:08:55,034 --> 00:08:56,034
Andy.
141
00:08:57,370 --> 00:08:59,038
She looks extra smug today.
142
00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:00,831
She's confident.
143
00:09:00,915 --> 00:09:03,042
If she gets into a groove,
we're in trouble.
144
00:09:03,125 --> 00:09:06,796
So we've gotta take any opportunity
to throw off her rhythm with the jury.
145
00:09:07,296 --> 00:09:08,631
All rise.
146
00:09:11,175 --> 00:09:12,218
Good morning.
147
00:09:12,927 --> 00:09:15,638
Let me remind everyone
that in this courtroom,
148
00:09:15,721 --> 00:09:20,685
there will be no signs, chanting,
or any outbursts of any kind.
149
00:09:20,768 --> 00:09:23,020
There are penalties for contempt of court.
150
00:09:23,104 --> 00:09:25,898
And trust me,
you don't wanna learn what they are.
151
00:09:26,649 --> 00:09:27,984
Understood?
152
00:09:28,067 --> 00:09:29,151
Good.
153
00:09:29,235 --> 00:09:30,987
Now, Counsel,
154
00:09:31,696 --> 00:09:33,781
we've wasted enough court time
155
00:09:33,864 --> 00:09:37,827
with continuances
and extra days granted after the prelim.
156
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:40,454
So in the interests of expedience,
157
00:09:40,538 --> 00:09:45,501
I will allow prosecution and defense
30 minutes apiece for opening statements.
158
00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:46,502
Are we agreed?
159
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:48,129
Thirty minutes? I'm sorry...
160
00:09:48,212 --> 00:09:51,215
The defense will be fine
with just 20 minutes, Your Honor.
161
00:09:51,299 --> 00:09:53,050
In the interest of expedience.
162
00:09:53,134 --> 00:09:54,969
Let's split the difference, then.
163
00:09:55,052 --> 00:09:57,722
- Let's say 25.
- Twenty-five it is, Judge.
164
00:09:58,306 --> 00:09:59,640
Very well, Your Honor.
165
00:10:13,863 --> 00:10:15,615
Members of the jury, good morning.
166
00:10:16,824 --> 00:10:20,202
My name is Deputy District Attorney
Andrea Freemann,
167
00:10:20,703 --> 00:10:24,624
and I'm here today
to speak on behalf of someone who can't.
168
00:10:24,707 --> 00:10:26,917
A hard-working, successful man
169
00:10:27,001 --> 00:10:29,962
who helped build this city we call home
170
00:10:30,046 --> 00:10:32,548
and employed thousands of people
along the way.
171
00:10:33,132 --> 00:10:34,842
Mitchell Bondurant.
172
00:10:35,843 --> 00:10:42,183
I'm here to tell you about the last brutal
violent moments of his life
173
00:10:42,266 --> 00:10:44,852
and about the person who ended it.
174
00:10:44,935 --> 00:10:48,022
The defendant. Lisa Trammell.
175
00:10:48,105 --> 00:10:50,816
Now, the facts of this case?
176
00:10:51,609 --> 00:10:52,610
They're simple.
177
00:10:53,110 --> 00:10:56,656
The defendant and Mr. Bondurant
were in a dispute.
178
00:10:56,739 --> 00:11:01,243
A dispute which forced Mr. Bondurant
to take out a restraining order
179
00:11:01,327 --> 00:11:05,956
against the defendant
because of her continued harassment.
180
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,835
On the morning of the murder,
after visiting a nearby farmers market,
181
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:15,007
the defendant entered a local coffee shop
near the victim's office,
182
00:11:15,591 --> 00:11:18,719
where she saw Mr. Bondurant
getting a cup of coffee.
183
00:11:18,803 --> 00:11:22,765
The evidence will show
that she then left the coffee shop,
184
00:11:22,848 --> 00:11:26,227
hurried to his parking garage,
and hid behind a pillar,
185
00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:28,312
knowing he'd be arriving soon.
186
00:11:28,396 --> 00:11:29,772
There, she waited for him,
187
00:11:29,855 --> 00:11:33,734
slipping on a pair of gloves to make sure
she didn't leave any fingerprints.
188
00:11:33,818 --> 00:11:37,530
And when Mr. Bondurant finally arrived
and got out of his car,
189
00:11:37,613 --> 00:11:40,700
she viciously attacked him from behind,
190
00:11:40,783 --> 00:11:44,203
bludgeoning him over the head
with a blunt instrument.
191
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:48,332
Beating him literally to death.
192
00:11:48,916 --> 00:11:53,754
The evidence will show
how the defendant hated Mr. Bondurant,
193
00:11:53,838 --> 00:11:55,631
how she stalked him,
194
00:11:55,715 --> 00:11:59,176
and how, on the day of the murder,
she entered his parking garage
195
00:11:59,260 --> 00:12:02,722
with the motive, the means,
and the opportunity to kill.
196
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:14,483
I told you I can't keep doing this.
197
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:16,527
It's the last time. I promise.
198
00:12:19,113 --> 00:12:20,489
I need it confirmed.
199
00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:23,826
The agent who signed the letter
won't return my calls.
200
00:12:23,909 --> 00:12:25,953
This guy. Vasquez.
201
00:12:26,036 --> 00:12:28,164
Felix Vasquez.
202
00:12:28,247 --> 00:12:31,584
All you gotta do is
locate the original letter in the files.
203
00:12:31,667 --> 00:12:33,085
Like hell I will.
204
00:12:33,669 --> 00:12:38,299
That would mean going up three floors
to a department that's not my department,
205
00:12:38,382 --> 00:12:40,509
talk to some asshole I don't like,
206
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:45,055
and explain why I need to see a letter
that's none of my business to begin with.
207
00:12:45,139 --> 00:12:47,558
It's bad enough I had to schlep here
to talk to you.
208
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,436
Well, that's fair enough.
209
00:12:51,145 --> 00:12:53,939
But I am so thankful
for all that you do for me.
210
00:12:54,023 --> 00:12:56,358
Yeah, just quit the bullshit. Will you?
211
00:12:56,984 --> 00:12:59,153
I'm retiring in five months.
212
00:12:59,236 --> 00:13:03,449
If I'm gonna risk my pension,
you better tell me what's in it for me.
213
00:13:06,035 --> 00:13:10,414
Def Leppard with Mötley Crüe and Poison.
214
00:13:12,082 --> 00:13:15,211
I already got tickets. Fourth row.
215
00:13:16,170 --> 00:13:17,421
Backstage passes.
216
00:13:19,423 --> 00:13:20,423
Let me see 'em.
217
00:13:21,926 --> 00:13:23,052
Don't get greedy.
218
00:13:23,844 --> 00:13:25,679
I'll have 'em for you tomorrow.
219
00:13:30,726 --> 00:13:31,727
So, you'll do it?
220
00:13:32,394 --> 00:13:36,106
I'm not doing shit
until I see those passes.
221
00:13:38,901 --> 00:13:44,114
Lastly, you'll hear how
police found the defendant's garden gloves
222
00:13:44,198 --> 00:13:48,786
in her garage
with Mitchell Bondurant's blood on them.
223
00:13:48,869 --> 00:13:51,163
The gloves she used to murder him,
224
00:13:51,247 --> 00:13:53,874
with blood that could have only been
from that murder.
225
00:13:54,458 --> 00:13:57,795
As I said, it's simple.
The facts don't lie.
226
00:13:58,921 --> 00:14:02,591
Now, defense counsel
will try to paint the defendant
227
00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:05,094
as an upstanding member of her community,
228
00:14:05,177 --> 00:14:09,348
a victim of gentrification,
who was harassed by Mitchell Bondurant.
229
00:14:09,431 --> 00:14:13,143
All I would say to that
is don't be fooled.
230
00:14:13,769 --> 00:14:16,856
Don't be fooled by the calm expression,
231
00:14:16,939 --> 00:14:20,150
the crisp white blouse,
the manicured nails.
232
00:14:20,651 --> 00:14:23,737
Don't be fooled by all the red herrings
and smoke and mirrors.
233
00:14:23,821 --> 00:14:27,074
Defense counsel will put on a good show.
234
00:14:27,658 --> 00:14:30,327
That's all it is. A show.
235
00:14:30,411 --> 00:14:34,874
Because he has no answers
to the evidence we will present.
236
00:14:35,624 --> 00:14:40,713
And in the end, his shiny bag of tricks
does not erase the fact
237
00:14:40,796 --> 00:14:44,300
that Mitchell Bondurant
was brutally and violently murdered.
238
00:14:45,467 --> 00:14:49,305
And the woman who murdered him
is sitting right there.
239
00:15:10,659 --> 00:15:11,660
Mr. Haller.
240
00:15:11,744 --> 00:15:13,495
Yes. Thank you, Your Honor.
241
00:15:13,579 --> 00:15:15,831
Well, that was, uh, intense.
242
00:15:17,207 --> 00:15:19,543
So, why don't we take a few steps back?
243
00:15:19,627 --> 00:15:22,963
I'd like to start off by introducing you
to my client, Lisa Trammel.
244
00:15:23,589 --> 00:15:26,926
As you may know, she's a chef
at a very good restaurant called Elysian.
245
00:15:27,009 --> 00:15:28,260
Anybody here like to eat?
246
00:15:28,344 --> 00:15:30,179
Yeah? Well, take it from me.
247
00:15:30,262 --> 00:15:32,890
The food in that place
is just out of this world.
248
00:15:32,973 --> 00:15:36,560
Lisa has worked hard
for over ten years, perfecting the menu.
249
00:15:36,644 --> 00:15:38,312
The prosecution says she's got a temper.
250
00:15:38,395 --> 00:15:39,897
What? Really?
251
00:15:39,980 --> 00:15:42,733
A chef with a temper?
Who ever heard of such a thing.
252
00:15:42,816 --> 00:15:46,737
Guess the prosecutor has never seen
one of those cooking TV shows.
253
00:15:46,820 --> 00:15:49,657
Yes, she's got a temper.
A lot of chefs do.
254
00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:52,743
It comes with the territory.
The stress. The long hours.
255
00:15:53,243 --> 00:15:57,206
Sure it's not a quality Lisa's proud of,
but it doesn't make her a killer, does it?
256
00:15:57,915 --> 00:16:00,125
That's what the prosecutor
will have you believe.
257
00:16:00,209 --> 00:16:03,003
That just because she was
angry at Mitchell Bondurant,
258
00:16:03,087 --> 00:16:04,922
it automatically means she killed him.
259
00:16:06,757 --> 00:16:08,550
That's not what the evidence will show.
260
00:16:09,134 --> 00:16:12,054
The evidence, or lack thereof,
261
00:16:12,137 --> 00:16:15,224
is a glaring problem
in the prosecution's case.
262
00:16:15,307 --> 00:16:17,810
You've heard Miss Freemann
promise all this evidence,
263
00:16:17,893 --> 00:16:20,729
but there's one giant piece of evidence
they don't have.
264
00:16:20,813 --> 00:16:22,314
The most important piece.
265
00:16:22,815 --> 00:16:23,899
The murder weapon.
266
00:16:25,359 --> 00:16:26,694
They never found one.
267
00:16:26,777 --> 00:16:30,197
They wanna throw around
a lot of ideas about what it might be,
268
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,451
but they don't have a weapon or any way
to connect Lisa Trammell to a weapon.
269
00:16:34,535 --> 00:16:38,372
In fact, the only true thing
the prosecution said was the obvious.
270
00:16:38,455 --> 00:16:40,249
Mitchell Bondurant was murdered.
271
00:16:40,916 --> 00:16:44,294
Brutally, violently, in cold blood.
272
00:16:45,337 --> 00:16:47,881
They wanna make you think
Lisa committed that murder,
273
00:16:47,965 --> 00:16:52,886
but we will show you how and why
Lisa could not have done it.
274
00:16:52,970 --> 00:16:54,513
So, what does this mean?
275
00:16:55,222 --> 00:16:56,348
Simple.
276
00:16:56,432 --> 00:16:58,809
Lisa Trammell was set up from the start.
277
00:16:59,893 --> 00:17:03,313
Whatever evidence Miss Freemann presents
is just a part of that setup.
278
00:17:03,397 --> 00:17:04,773
Your Honor, I must object.
279
00:17:04,857 --> 00:17:07,192
This is argument
and desperate argument at that.
280
00:17:08,027 --> 00:17:11,572
Judge, I'm merely discussing the evidence
that I believe would be introduced.
281
00:17:11,655 --> 00:17:13,490
Just stick to the point, Mr. Haller.
282
00:17:13,574 --> 00:17:14,867
Of course, Your Honor.
283
00:17:14,950 --> 00:17:16,452
Sorry about that. Where were we?
284
00:17:16,535 --> 00:17:19,621
The evidence. Okay.
So, where did it come from?
285
00:17:19,705 --> 00:17:22,833
Well, from the LAPD,
who investigated the murder.
286
00:17:22,916 --> 00:17:26,754
And, who, in the rush to build the case
against the first suspect they found,
287
00:17:26,837 --> 00:17:28,380
they missed the big picture,
288
00:17:28,464 --> 00:17:31,216
and Miss Freemann was very happy
to go along with that story.
289
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:32,926
- Objection, Your Honor.
- Shh.
290
00:17:33,010 --> 00:17:35,471
I'll withdraw the statement.
If the court will allow me,
291
00:17:35,554 --> 00:17:37,890
I'd like to get through
my opening statement in peace.
292
00:17:37,973 --> 00:17:39,266
Continue.
293
00:17:39,975 --> 00:17:43,062
Thank you. I'll sum it up for you
in a way Miss Freemann,
294
00:17:43,145 --> 00:17:44,688
hopefully, will be okay with.
295
00:17:44,772 --> 00:17:45,856
Simply put,
296
00:17:46,815 --> 00:17:48,358
Lisa Trammell was framed.
297
00:17:49,318 --> 00:17:51,904
We will show you exactly how and why.
298
00:17:52,404 --> 00:17:53,655
The cops fell for it.
299
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:55,991
The prosecution fell for it.
300
00:17:57,993 --> 00:17:59,328
Don't you fall for it.
301
00:18:00,996 --> 00:18:01,872
Thank you.
302
00:18:09,546 --> 00:18:13,092
My trial advocacy professor says
it's bad form to object during an opening.
303
00:18:13,175 --> 00:18:14,676
Makes you look petty to the jury.
304
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,430
Yeah, well, the only thing worse
than doing it once is doing it twice.
305
00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:25,938
I'll send you the info
on the new client.
306
00:18:26,021 --> 00:18:28,649
Oh, and I filed the motions
in the Barkley case.
307
00:18:28,732 --> 00:18:31,401
I figured out how to use
the online system for the court.
308
00:18:31,485 --> 00:18:34,530
Look at that.
We have a functioning office again.
309
00:18:35,030 --> 00:18:36,406
Somebody had to do it.
310
00:18:36,490 --> 00:18:39,243
Those temps Lorna hired
barely know how to work a phone.
311
00:18:39,326 --> 00:18:40,911
When is she coming back?
312
00:18:40,994 --> 00:18:43,205
As soon as this trial wraps up.
313
00:18:43,705 --> 00:18:45,541
Thanks for picking up the slack, Izzy.
314
00:18:46,041 --> 00:18:49,545
Don't mention it.
So, how's Hayley doing with the riding?
315
00:18:50,087 --> 00:18:52,631
Ah, great. She's really taking to it.
316
00:18:56,593 --> 00:18:58,804
And I think I just figured out
the real reason
317
00:18:58,887 --> 00:19:00,889
she wants to keep riding here in LA.
318
00:19:00,973 --> 00:19:03,475
Let me guess.
Is it tall, dark, and dreamy?
319
00:19:04,101 --> 00:19:05,310
Something like that.
320
00:19:05,811 --> 00:19:10,190
My advice, speaking as a daughter.
Don't be too hard on her.
321
00:19:11,692 --> 00:19:13,485
You're getting to spend time with her.
322
00:19:20,784 --> 00:19:23,579
The People call
Detective Howard O'Brien.
323
00:19:23,662 --> 00:19:25,581
Detective, can you please describe
324
00:19:25,664 --> 00:19:28,083
your professional experience
for the court?
325
00:19:28,167 --> 00:19:30,836
Sure. I spent six years in the Marines.
326
00:19:30,919 --> 00:19:33,130
I was ROTC, but I re-upped during Iraq.
327
00:19:33,213 --> 00:19:36,717
Then 18 years in LAPD.
I've been a detective for the last ten.
328
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,304
And, in that time, how many
homicide cases have you worked?
329
00:19:40,387 --> 00:19:41,680
Over 60.
330
00:19:41,763 --> 00:19:45,851
Kind of a depressing statistic,
but it is what it is.
331
00:19:45,934 --> 00:19:48,770
Well, you certainly have
a lot of experience.
332
00:19:49,354 --> 00:19:53,567
Now, can you please walk us through
the stages of your investigation here?
333
00:19:53,650 --> 00:19:57,905
Certainly. My partner, Detective Long,
and I arrived on the scene at 9:45 a.m.
334
00:19:58,572 --> 00:20:01,825
Patrols had secured the area,
and a forensic unit was on the way.
335
00:20:02,326 --> 00:20:03,577
But even without forensics,
336
00:20:03,660 --> 00:20:06,788
it was obvious the victim had suffered
blunt force trauma to the head.
337
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:08,040
There was a lot of blood,
338
00:20:08,123 --> 00:20:11,585
so our first priority was
to preserve and collect any evidence.
339
00:20:11,668 --> 00:20:14,004
- And was there any?
- Not much of note.
340
00:20:14,087 --> 00:20:18,050
Near the body, we found a paper cup
from a nearby coffee shop, Café Maurice.
341
00:20:18,133 --> 00:20:20,427
We also found a shard of glass
with a rounded edge,
342
00:20:20,510 --> 00:20:23,347
which we surmised was from
a side-view mirror of a vehicle.
343
00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:26,016
But when we checked
all the vehicles in the lot,
344
00:20:26,099 --> 00:20:27,809
none of them had broken mirrors.
345
00:20:27,893 --> 00:20:30,020
Was there any security video?
346
00:20:30,103 --> 00:20:31,438
None that was useful.
347
00:20:31,521 --> 00:20:35,651
There are no cameras in that garage,
only by the entrance and by the elevator,
348
00:20:35,734 --> 00:20:38,111
and there were no unusual
or unaccounted-for vehicles
349
00:20:38,195 --> 00:20:39,196
entering that morning.
350
00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:42,741
Based on that, we surmised
that the killer must have entered on foot.
351
00:20:42,824 --> 00:20:46,411
I see. And having canvassed the scene,
what did you do next?
352
00:20:46,495 --> 00:20:49,748
Our next priority was
to interview any witness we could find.
353
00:20:49,831 --> 00:20:52,542
Why don't you
walk us through them one at a time?
354
00:21:09,226 --> 00:21:12,354
That's when security gave us
a list of names of ongoing threats.
355
00:21:12,437 --> 00:21:15,816
And was the defendant's name on this list?
356
00:21:15,899 --> 00:21:18,110
She was at the top of that list.
357
00:21:18,193 --> 00:21:21,154
Especially once we learned
she was in proximity to the building
358
00:21:21,238 --> 00:21:22,698
around the time of the murder.
359
00:21:22,781 --> 00:21:25,742
And proximity means access, doesn't it?
360
00:21:25,826 --> 00:21:27,452
Objection. Leading the witness.
361
00:21:27,536 --> 00:21:28,453
Sustained.
362
00:21:28,537 --> 00:21:30,163
Withdraw the question.
363
00:21:31,081 --> 00:21:33,000
What did you do next, Detective?
364
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:35,919
Once we considered Lisa Trammell
a person of interest,
365
00:21:36,003 --> 00:21:39,840
we needed to move quickly
or risk losing evidence or more lives.
366
00:21:40,340 --> 00:21:42,009
So we immediately went to her home.
367
00:21:42,092 --> 00:21:43,427
What happened there?
368
00:21:44,761 --> 00:21:48,140
Miss Trammell was calm
and courteous. At first.
369
00:21:49,933 --> 00:21:53,061
We asked her about her morning,
where she'd been, whom she'd seen.
370
00:21:53,145 --> 00:21:56,898
She told us she went to the farmers market
down the street from Bondurant's office.
371
00:21:56,982 --> 00:22:00,235
When we asked her if she went
inside the office building, she said no.
372
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:01,862
What happened then?
373
00:22:01,945 --> 00:22:03,613
We felt she was being evasive,
374
00:22:03,697 --> 00:22:07,576
so we asked if she'd be willing to come
to the station to continue questions.
375
00:22:07,659 --> 00:22:08,869
She willingly agreed.
376
00:22:08,952 --> 00:22:12,289
And you didn't read
her Miranda rights because...
377
00:22:12,372 --> 00:22:14,291
She wasn't technically
a suspect yet.
378
00:22:14,374 --> 00:22:16,543
As I said, she volunteered
to go to the station.
379
00:22:17,252 --> 00:22:19,755
Once we got there,
and I started questioning her,
380
00:22:19,838 --> 00:22:22,299
there were some inconsistencies.
381
00:22:22,382 --> 00:22:24,718
Let's have a look at this interview.
Shall we?
382
00:22:37,439 --> 00:22:38,607
No, no, no, no.
383
00:22:39,191 --> 00:22:41,443
First, you gotta pour some sugar on me.
384
00:22:42,569 --> 00:22:44,404
Don't ever say that again.
385
00:22:45,947 --> 00:22:46,947
Fair enough.
386
00:22:47,699 --> 00:22:51,078
But no passes
until you confirm that letter.
387
00:22:53,330 --> 00:22:57,918
Twelve o'clock, that Szechuan place
over on Santa Monica.
388
00:22:58,710 --> 00:23:01,296
Try the mutton. It's surprisingly good.
389
00:23:07,761 --> 00:23:08,761
Mutton?
390
00:23:10,639 --> 00:23:12,599
Honestly, it doesn't surprise me.
391
00:23:13,183 --> 00:23:16,478
There's a long list of people
who would love to take a shot at that guy.
392
00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:18,396
Right.
393
00:23:18,980 --> 00:23:22,651
According to you, he's a pathological liar
and an all-around shitty human.
394
00:23:23,151 --> 00:23:24,820
So maybe you're one of those people.
395
00:23:26,113 --> 00:23:27,739
Look.
396
00:23:28,990 --> 00:23:31,326
I hate the guy.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat that...
397
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:32,869
Enough to kill him?
398
00:23:32,953 --> 00:23:34,579
What did this interview tell you?
399
00:23:34,663 --> 00:23:38,417
Besides the fact that, in her own words,
the defendant hated Mr. Bondurant.
400
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:41,294
It told us that she concealed something
from us earlier,
401
00:23:41,378 --> 00:23:44,464
namely that she had an encounter
with the victim at the coffee shop,
402
00:23:44,548 --> 00:23:46,550
in violation of her restraining order.
403
00:23:46,633 --> 00:23:47,633
Based on this,
404
00:23:47,676 --> 00:23:50,846
we were able to obtain a warrant
for her home and restaurant.
405
00:23:50,929 --> 00:23:53,056
And what items did you find there?
406
00:23:53,140 --> 00:23:56,726
We retrieved her laptop,
some personal documents and items,
407
00:23:56,810 --> 00:24:00,188
as well as a pair of gardening gloves
we found in her shed.
408
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,278
People's Exhibit 3, Your Honor.
409
00:24:06,361 --> 00:24:09,614
Are these the gardening gloves
you found at the defendant's home?
410
00:24:09,698 --> 00:24:10,991
They are.
411
00:24:11,074 --> 00:24:13,994
Gloves that were tested
and later determined to have
412
00:24:14,077 --> 00:24:16,288
traces of Mitchell Bondurant's blood
on them.
413
00:24:16,371 --> 00:24:17,539
That's correct.
414
00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:20,750
- Did you find any other evidence?
- Nothing of note.
415
00:24:20,834 --> 00:24:23,628
What was more interesting was
what was missing from the house.
416
00:24:23,712 --> 00:24:24,963
What was that?
417
00:24:25,046 --> 00:24:28,633
In the course of our search, we found
a tool kit in the defendant's shed.
418
00:24:28,717 --> 00:24:31,803
It was a commercial one
with a space for every tool.
419
00:24:31,887 --> 00:24:34,181
Only one tool was missing. A hammer.
420
00:24:34,264 --> 00:24:35,974
And why was that interesting?
421
00:24:36,057 --> 00:24:39,227
Objection. This line of questioning
is nothing but speculation.
422
00:24:39,311 --> 00:24:42,314
Your Honor, the witness
is simply testifying to his own opinion
423
00:24:42,397 --> 00:24:44,357
based on his extensive experience.
424
00:24:44,441 --> 00:24:46,902
Overruled. The witness may answer.
425
00:24:46,985 --> 00:24:48,737
I'll ask the question again.
426
00:24:48,820 --> 00:24:52,949
Why was the defendant's missing hammer
so interesting?
427
00:24:53,033 --> 00:24:56,703
Because when the forensics team arrived
on the scene, they were able to determine
428
00:24:56,786 --> 00:25:00,749
that the wound which killed Mr. Bondurant
had an unusual circular shape.
429
00:25:00,832 --> 00:25:04,753
There are not many blunt instruments
in that shape which come to mind.
430
00:25:04,836 --> 00:25:06,046
A hammer is one of them.
431
00:25:06,129 --> 00:25:07,464
Thank you, Detective.
432
00:25:08,173 --> 00:25:09,216
Nothing further.
433
00:25:15,639 --> 00:25:16,640
Mr. Haller.
434
00:25:17,307 --> 00:25:18,683
Cross-examination?
435
00:25:18,767 --> 00:25:21,228
The cop who handled the investigation.
436
00:25:21,853 --> 00:25:25,357
That's who you wanna spring this on
during cross.
437
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:31,738
Uh, Your Honor, I'm sure
the jury could use some rest.
438
00:25:31,821 --> 00:25:33,448
Perhaps we should break for lunch?
439
00:25:33,532 --> 00:25:37,327
It's not even noon, Mr. Haller.
We'll break for lunch at the usual time.
440
00:25:41,706 --> 00:25:43,458
Good morning, Detective O'Brien.
441
00:25:43,542 --> 00:25:44,542
Counselor.
442
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,170
Among the things
you found at the crime scene,
443
00:25:47,254 --> 00:25:50,048
you mentioned a coffee cup
from a nearby café?
444
00:25:50,131 --> 00:25:51,508
Café Maurice. Yes.
445
00:25:51,591 --> 00:25:53,468
Did that cup belong to Lisa Trammell?
446
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:55,345
At first, we weren't sure.
447
00:25:55,428 --> 00:25:58,014
Then we found the receipt
in Mr. Bondurant's pocket.
448
00:25:58,098 --> 00:26:00,183
We also found his prints on the cup.
449
00:26:00,267 --> 00:26:02,185
We determined he dropped it
when he was hit.
450
00:26:02,269 --> 00:26:05,230
So, the cup didn't tie Lisa Trammell
to the crime scene, did it?
451
00:26:06,147 --> 00:26:07,023
No, but...
452
00:26:07,107 --> 00:26:09,192
Just yes or no,
please, Detective.
453
00:26:09,901 --> 00:26:10,901
No.
454
00:26:10,944 --> 00:26:13,405
What about that shard of glass
on the ground?
455
00:26:13,488 --> 00:26:14,406
Can you describe it?
456
00:26:14,489 --> 00:26:18,535
It was a piece of mirrored glass,
rounded on one side.
457
00:26:19,828 --> 00:26:23,623
Okay. And you deduced this was
part of a broken side-view mirror?
458
00:26:24,207 --> 00:26:26,376
In a garage,
that seemed most likely.
459
00:26:27,043 --> 00:26:29,212
Did you check Lisa Trammell's car?
460
00:26:29,296 --> 00:26:31,381
Were any of her mirrors broken?
461
00:26:34,175 --> 00:26:35,427
No. They weren't.
462
00:26:37,470 --> 00:26:38,470
Right.
463
00:26:39,097 --> 00:26:42,601
Now, Detective, let's talk about
what you found at Miss Trammell's home.
464
00:26:56,781 --> 00:26:59,701
Did you find other
traces of blood, or just on the gloves?
465
00:26:59,784 --> 00:27:01,119
It was just the gloves.
466
00:27:01,202 --> 00:27:04,164
And how did you transport these gloves
from my client's house?
467
00:27:04,247 --> 00:27:08,001
A forensic technician placed them
in the appropriate evidence package.
468
00:27:08,084 --> 00:27:10,253
Can you describe that packaging?
469
00:27:11,254 --> 00:27:14,341
It was an envelope that was sealed.
470
00:27:15,550 --> 00:27:17,427
Well, sealed how, exactly?
471
00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:19,262
Objection. Relevance?
472
00:27:19,346 --> 00:27:22,474
I'm just trying to ascertain
chain of custody, Your Honor.
473
00:27:22,557 --> 00:27:25,894
Overruled.
But please move it along, Mr. Haller.
474
00:27:31,066 --> 00:27:32,651
Is everything okay?
475
00:27:32,734 --> 00:27:35,403
Yeah,
I'm sure everything's gonna be fine.
476
00:27:53,338 --> 00:27:54,673
Donna's not coming.
477
00:27:57,050 --> 00:28:00,303
I'm Vasquez, FBI.
I heard you've been looking for me.
478
00:28:04,474 --> 00:28:06,851
This letter has your signature on it.
479
00:28:08,061 --> 00:28:09,562
Can you confirm that it's real?
480
00:28:12,857 --> 00:28:16,069
I cannot comment
on any ongoing investigation.
481
00:28:17,570 --> 00:28:19,030
I don't need you to comment.
482
00:28:19,114 --> 00:28:23,076
I just need you to tell me
whether or not that letter is authentic.
483
00:28:23,159 --> 00:28:26,913
I cannot confirm nor deny
the authenticity of that letter.
484
00:28:28,498 --> 00:28:32,711
But I can give you a piece of advice.
Do yourself and your boss a favor, huh?
485
00:28:34,295 --> 00:28:35,295
Leave it alone.
486
00:28:38,007 --> 00:28:40,510
And Donna said something
about backstage passes?
487
00:28:53,398 --> 00:28:56,025
I wrote my name and badge number
across the tape,
488
00:28:56,109 --> 00:28:57,944
then went to the lab for testing.
489
00:28:58,027 --> 00:29:02,657
Okay, and you never left the envelope
with the gloves unattended?
490
00:29:02,741 --> 00:29:05,243
Objection, Your Honor. Asked and answered.
491
00:29:05,326 --> 00:29:06,578
Sustained.
492
00:29:11,791 --> 00:29:15,170
Your Honor, may I request a brief recess?
Just five minutes?
493
00:29:15,253 --> 00:29:19,799
As long as you're not going to be
studying the forensics manual. Yes.
494
00:29:19,883 --> 00:29:21,009
Five minutes.
495
00:29:21,092 --> 00:29:22,761
"He can neither confirm nor deny."
496
00:29:22,844 --> 00:29:24,554
It's like a non-denial denial.
497
00:29:24,637 --> 00:29:26,723
That's gonna have to do.
We're out of time.
498
00:29:26,806 --> 00:29:27,640
Are you sure?
499
00:29:27,724 --> 00:29:31,352
We should wait for solid confirmation.
You can recall the witness in a few days.
500
00:29:31,436 --> 00:29:34,564
This case will be dead in a few days.
Andrea is killing us.
501
00:29:34,647 --> 00:29:37,275
Who knows if we're getting
a better confirmation than this?
502
00:29:37,358 --> 00:29:38,735
We go now. Come on.
503
00:29:39,611 --> 00:29:41,154
Detective, you testified earlier
504
00:29:41,237 --> 00:29:44,491
about investigating threats
made against Mitchell Bondurant.
505
00:29:45,241 --> 00:29:46,241
That's right.
506
00:29:46,284 --> 00:29:48,953
Did you investigate
any threats he made against others?
507
00:29:49,037 --> 00:29:50,705
I'm not sure what you mean.
508
00:29:51,456 --> 00:29:53,291
Defense Exhibit D, Your Honor.
509
00:29:54,542 --> 00:29:56,961
Can you tell us
what this document is, Detective?
510
00:29:57,045 --> 00:30:01,132
It's a copy of an email from Bondurant
to a contractor named Alex Grant.
511
00:30:01,216 --> 00:30:02,634
And have you seen it before?
512
00:30:02,717 --> 00:30:06,179
We reviewed all of the victim's emails
and correspondence. Yes.
513
00:30:06,262 --> 00:30:10,433
So you've seen this email where Bondurant
threatens to extort Alex Grant.
514
00:30:10,517 --> 00:30:12,101
Objection. Foundation?
515
00:30:12,185 --> 00:30:14,187
The foundation is in the email.
516
00:30:14,270 --> 00:30:16,981
Could you read the highlighted portion
for the jury, please?
517
00:30:17,065 --> 00:30:19,067
"If we cannot come
to an agreement on terms,
518
00:30:19,150 --> 00:30:21,277
I will have no choice
but to pursue this matter
519
00:30:21,361 --> 00:30:23,238
through the appropriate legal channels."
520
00:30:23,321 --> 00:30:26,741
"This includes reporting it
to our lenders, which, as fiduciaries,
521
00:30:26,825 --> 00:30:30,078
are required under federal law
to report any suspicious activity."
522
00:30:30,161 --> 00:30:33,873
Okay, so Mitchell Bondurant
was gonna rat Alex Grant out to the feds
523
00:30:33,957 --> 00:30:35,667
for suspicious activity unless he...
524
00:30:35,750 --> 00:30:36,918
Objection. Speculation.
525
00:30:37,001 --> 00:30:38,211
Sustained.
526
00:30:38,294 --> 00:30:39,546
I'll rephrase.
527
00:30:40,088 --> 00:30:42,715
Given the contents
of this email, Detective,
528
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:45,301
why didn't you consider
Alex Grant as a suspect?
529
00:30:45,385 --> 00:30:48,721
We considered everyone,
but this is a business dispute.
530
00:30:48,805 --> 00:30:51,558
There's no evidence
Mr. Grant was involved in any wrongdoing.
531
00:30:51,641 --> 00:30:55,103
So, if there was evidence of wrongdoing,
that might change the situation?
532
00:30:57,981 --> 00:31:01,401
Detective O'Brien, do you know
what an FBI target letter is?
533
00:31:01,484 --> 00:31:03,236
Objection, Your Honor. Sidebar.
534
00:31:03,945 --> 00:31:05,238
Here we go.
535
00:31:10,159 --> 00:31:12,287
Even if this is legitimate, which I doubt,
536
00:31:12,370 --> 00:31:14,664
this shouldn't be admissible
this late in the game.
537
00:31:14,747 --> 00:31:18,126
Let me explain the delay.
Someone left me a copy of the letter.
538
00:31:18,209 --> 00:31:20,128
- An anonymous source.
- Seriously?
539
00:31:20,211 --> 00:31:23,214
I had to confirm it like Miss Freemann
delayed notice of the gloves
540
00:31:23,298 --> 00:31:25,383
because she had to test and verify them.
541
00:31:25,466 --> 00:31:27,427
He's got a point, Miss Freemann.
542
00:31:27,510 --> 00:31:31,472
Then I'd ask to give me until tomorrow
to confirm the authenticity myself.
543
00:31:31,556 --> 00:31:35,351
I'll give you till the end of lunch,
but we're finishing this witness today.
544
00:31:35,435 --> 00:31:36,561
Thank you, Your Honor.
545
00:31:41,649 --> 00:31:44,986
We can do the mirrors along this wall,
put the barres there.
546
00:31:45,486 --> 00:31:46,738
It's perfect.
547
00:31:47,572 --> 00:31:48,615
I can't wait.
548
00:31:49,157 --> 00:31:52,368
First two months' like we agreed.
When can I move in?
549
00:31:53,077 --> 00:31:56,205
There's been an adjustment to the rent.
550
00:31:57,916 --> 00:31:59,125
What kind of adjustment?
551
00:31:59,208 --> 00:32:02,962
The rent's gone up to 15,000 a month.
So I would need a check for 30,000...
552
00:32:03,046 --> 00:32:04,339
Whoa, whoa. Hold on.
553
00:32:05,048 --> 00:32:08,635
Ray renegotiated 10,000, Carlos.
10,000. That was the deal.
554
00:32:08,718 --> 00:32:11,930
That was months ago.
Rents have shot up in this neighborhood.
555
00:32:12,013 --> 00:32:13,598
And your deal was only an option.
556
00:32:13,681 --> 00:32:16,643
I gave her plenty of time
to come up with the money,
557
00:32:16,726 --> 00:32:19,687
but I have to adjust to market conditions.
558
00:32:19,771 --> 00:32:22,523
- I can't believe this.
- The option's good for another week.
559
00:32:22,607 --> 00:32:25,693
It's still yours if you can
come up with the rest of the money.
560
00:32:25,777 --> 00:32:28,905
Even if I could,
I don't think I can cover 15K a month.
561
00:32:29,405 --> 00:32:31,699
Ten is as high as I can go.
562
00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:35,662
Then I'll have to put the space
back on the market. I'm sorry.
563
00:32:46,631 --> 00:32:47,631
Well?
564
00:32:48,257 --> 00:32:49,759
The Bureau confirmed the letter.
565
00:32:49,842 --> 00:32:50,760
There you go.
566
00:32:50,843 --> 00:32:54,639
But my objection on the grounds
of relevance still stands, Your Honor.
567
00:32:54,722 --> 00:32:56,724
Relevance? Based on the letter alone,
568
00:32:56,808 --> 00:33:00,228
we can assume there's a federal grand jury
looking into construction fraud.
569
00:33:00,311 --> 00:33:02,563
And maybe Alex Grant
has been called to testify.
570
00:33:02,647 --> 00:33:03,982
Is that true, Miss Freemann?
571
00:33:04,065 --> 00:33:06,567
My understanding is
there is a grand jury investigation.
572
00:33:06,651 --> 00:33:11,072
But to my knowledge,
Alex Grant has not been called to testify.
573
00:33:11,155 --> 00:33:12,615
Yeah, well, not yet.
574
00:33:13,616 --> 00:33:14,492
Fine.
575
00:33:14,575 --> 00:33:18,496
You've connected the dots, Mr. Haller,
but I am warning you.
576
00:33:18,579 --> 00:33:20,999
Do not turn this trial into a circus.
577
00:33:21,082 --> 00:33:24,502
The minute you cross the line
from fact to conjecture,
578
00:33:24,585 --> 00:33:25,920
I will cut you off.
579
00:33:27,755 --> 00:33:29,215
Hope you know what you're doing.
580
00:33:29,966 --> 00:33:31,217
Thank you, Your Honor.
581
00:33:31,300 --> 00:33:33,469
"Dear Mr. Grant,
this letter is to inform you
582
00:33:33,553 --> 00:33:35,555
that you are a target
of an FBI investigation
583
00:33:35,638 --> 00:33:38,099
into construction fraud
in Southern California."
584
00:33:38,182 --> 00:33:40,101
"Receipt of this letter puts you on notice
585
00:33:40,184 --> 00:33:42,770
to not destroy any documents
related to your business."
586
00:33:42,854 --> 00:33:46,399
"We'll make every effort to meet with you
to discuss this matter."
587
00:33:46,482 --> 00:33:48,901
"Signed Felix Vasquez, Special Agent."
588
00:33:48,985 --> 00:33:52,030
- What's the date on the letter?
- January 18th.
589
00:33:52,613 --> 00:33:56,242
And what's the date on the email
Mitchell Bondurant sent to Alex Grant?
590
00:33:57,243 --> 00:33:58,411
January 10th.
591
00:33:58,494 --> 00:34:02,373
So Mitchell Bondurant threatens
to expose Alex Grant to the feds.
592
00:34:02,457 --> 00:34:05,126
Eight days later,
Alex Grant gets a letter from the FBI
593
00:34:05,209 --> 00:34:07,587
saying he's the target
of an investigation?
594
00:34:08,755 --> 00:34:09,589
Well?
595
00:34:09,672 --> 00:34:12,091
And a week after that,
Bondurant is brutally murdered.
596
00:34:12,175 --> 00:34:15,136
Objection.
Is there an actual question here?
597
00:34:15,219 --> 00:34:16,554
Sustained.
598
00:34:16,637 --> 00:34:18,264
Given this alarming fact,
599
00:34:18,347 --> 00:34:23,561
do you think your failure to consider
Alex Grant as a suspect was reasonable?
600
00:34:23,644 --> 00:34:26,439
As I said before, we considered everyone.
601
00:34:26,522 --> 00:34:29,734
Not for very long, apparently.
You arrested Lisa Trammell the same day.
602
00:34:29,817 --> 00:34:32,445
That's who the evidence pointed to.
The motive was clear.
603
00:34:32,528 --> 00:34:34,280
"Motive"? Don't these documents show
604
00:34:34,363 --> 00:34:37,909
that Alex Grant had a crystal clear motive
to kill Mitchell Bondurant?
605
00:34:37,992 --> 00:34:39,160
Objection. Argumentative.
606
00:34:39,243 --> 00:34:41,370
I guess that's one way
to interpret it. Yeah.
607
00:34:41,454 --> 00:34:44,165
- Overruled.
- You had tunnel vision.
608
00:34:44,248 --> 00:34:45,750
You found an easy suspect,
609
00:34:45,833 --> 00:34:48,878
and you weren't gonna let anything
distract you from that path.
610
00:34:48,961 --> 00:34:52,632
No, no! I did not know
about the target letter.
611
00:34:52,715 --> 00:34:53,758
And if I had, I...
612
00:34:54,467 --> 00:34:57,762
If you had, what?
Would you have done things differently?
613
00:35:01,682 --> 00:35:05,311
I stand by our investigation
and where it led.
614
00:35:06,771 --> 00:35:09,273
- We got the right person.
- Did you?
615
00:35:11,734 --> 00:35:13,444
No further questions, Your Honor.
616
00:35:39,262 --> 00:35:40,805
That's LA for you, huh?
617
00:35:40,888 --> 00:35:43,432
Nobody sees where you live.
They just see what you drive.
618
00:35:43,516 --> 00:35:45,351
I gotta keep up appearances, right?
619
00:35:46,561 --> 00:35:49,981
I was hoping to move, but I can't cash in
on my podcast yet, can I?
620
00:35:50,064 --> 00:35:52,692
Why don't you ask your investor
who works for Alex Grant?
621
00:35:52,775 --> 00:35:54,569
What's his name? David Webber?
622
00:35:54,652 --> 00:35:56,612
Look, I know that you don't believe me,
623
00:35:56,696 --> 00:36:00,241
but I swear, I had no idea
they were trying to put this on Lisa.
624
00:36:00,324 --> 00:36:01,534
I never would've done that.
625
00:36:01,617 --> 00:36:04,370
Doesn't matter what you knew.
What matters is what you do.
626
00:36:04,453 --> 00:36:06,372
What do you want me to tell him?
627
00:36:06,455 --> 00:36:08,833
That Alex Grant
has nothing to worry about.
628
00:36:09,333 --> 00:36:11,419
We're not trying to point a finger at him.
629
00:36:11,502 --> 00:36:15,590
These guys aren't stupid. You think
they don't have people watching you?
630
00:36:15,673 --> 00:36:18,134
I'm sure they do,
but they'll trust their inside man,
631
00:36:18,217 --> 00:36:22,054
so tell him we don't have
anything concrete on Alex Grant.
632
00:36:22,138 --> 00:36:23,639
It's just smoke and mirrors.
633
00:36:23,723 --> 00:36:27,476
Tell him all we're trying to do is show
that Mitchell Bondurant was an asshole.
634
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,353
That a lot of people wanted him dead.
635
00:36:29,437 --> 00:36:32,398
So Alex Grant has nothing to worry about
if he takes the stand.
636
00:36:32,481 --> 00:36:35,401
- And you think he's gonna buy that?
- Yeah, I'm counting on that.
637
00:36:37,028 --> 00:36:38,696
All right. I'll do it.
638
00:36:40,573 --> 00:36:42,283
Henry, just remember,
639
00:36:42,366 --> 00:36:44,577
if you want any chance
to recoup your money
640
00:36:44,660 --> 00:36:48,164
and get anything out of that podcast,
do exactly as I say.
641
00:36:48,247 --> 00:36:49,415
Don't fuck this up.
642
00:36:50,082 --> 00:36:51,082
I get it.
643
00:37:01,010 --> 00:37:02,011
You like this?
644
00:37:02,094 --> 00:37:03,971
It's bison. Healthier for you.
645
00:37:04,513 --> 00:37:05,513
Really?
646
00:37:05,848 --> 00:37:08,059
I mean, as long as it's not ostrich.
647
00:37:08,142 --> 00:37:09,142
- Nah.
- Too cute.
648
00:37:10,353 --> 00:37:13,439
And these, I made in the air fryer.
649
00:37:14,232 --> 00:37:15,983
- Look at you.
- Mm-hmm.
650
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,861
You know, I really think
this new case is rubbing off on you.
651
00:37:18,945 --> 00:37:21,030
I've never seen you cook this much.
652
00:37:22,448 --> 00:37:25,910
Honey, I was thinking we should go riding
together before the summer's over.
653
00:37:25,993 --> 00:37:27,370
I gotta show off my skills.
654
00:37:27,995 --> 00:37:29,580
Sure. Let's do it.
655
00:37:32,458 --> 00:37:36,212
So that, um, boy at the stable.
What's his name?
656
00:37:37,004 --> 00:37:39,423
- Taylor?
- Yeah. He works there?
657
00:37:39,507 --> 00:37:42,343
- Yeah. Part-time. In the summer.
- Hmm.
658
00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:47,056
Okay, so what?
You have a crush on him or what?
659
00:37:47,139 --> 00:37:48,140
Dad.
660
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:49,517
What? Sorry. I...
661
00:37:50,017 --> 00:37:52,228
I bet you already told your mom about him.
662
00:37:52,311 --> 00:37:54,939
Are you kidding me? No. She's even worse.
663
00:37:55,022 --> 00:37:57,817
Well, your mom leads with her head, mija.
664
00:37:58,317 --> 00:38:00,403
You and me? We lead with our hearts.
665
00:38:00,486 --> 00:38:03,322
I don't want anybody breaking yours, so...
666
00:38:03,906 --> 00:38:05,866
Dad. Slow your roll.
667
00:38:06,409 --> 00:38:07,994
I mean, he's cute.
668
00:38:08,577 --> 00:38:09,577
That's all.
669
00:38:09,620 --> 00:38:12,206
You know, I've got school.
I gotta study for my SATs.
670
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:14,709
I am way too busy to get my heart broken.
671
00:38:14,792 --> 00:38:15,626
Good.
672
00:38:15,710 --> 00:38:18,546
If anything,
you should be worrying about him.
673
00:38:18,629 --> 00:38:20,589
- Now that's what I like to hear.
- Yeah.
674
00:38:25,845 --> 00:38:26,845
What's up, Lorna?
675
00:38:27,596 --> 00:38:29,598
We just got an amended witness list.
676
00:38:29,682 --> 00:38:32,685
Freeman's calling the FBI agent,
Felix Vasquez.
677
00:38:32,768 --> 00:38:35,062
He must have agreed to testify.
678
00:38:35,146 --> 00:38:37,481
The only reason
I can think of why he would do that
679
00:38:37,565 --> 00:38:39,066
is to shut the whole thing down.
680
00:38:39,150 --> 00:38:40,192
What are you gonna do?
681
00:38:45,448 --> 00:38:48,784
Can you tell us what target letters
are used for, Agent Vasquez?
682
00:38:48,868 --> 00:38:51,954
They have a number of uses.
One use is to gather information.
683
00:38:52,038 --> 00:38:53,798
- Can you explain?
- Sure.
684
00:38:53,873 --> 00:38:56,000
If the FBI is conducting an investigation,
685
00:38:56,083 --> 00:38:58,419
and we believe
that someone might be culpable,
686
00:38:58,502 --> 00:39:01,297
we might send them a target letter
to convince them to talk to us.
687
00:39:01,380 --> 00:39:03,299
As a way of scaring them into cooperating.
688
00:39:03,382 --> 00:39:04,467
Something like that.
689
00:39:04,550 --> 00:39:06,844
The mere fact that
you sent someone a target letter
690
00:39:06,927 --> 00:39:09,472
doesn't indicate
they've done anything wrong, right?
691
00:39:09,555 --> 00:39:10,555
That's right.
692
00:39:10,598 --> 00:39:13,351
So, how did you come
to send Alex Grant a target letter?
693
00:39:13,434 --> 00:39:16,228
Well, his name and business
came up in our investigation.
694
00:39:16,312 --> 00:39:20,191
There were certain irregularities
in some of the buildings he worked on.
695
00:39:20,274 --> 00:39:23,361
- How did Mr. Grant respond?
- His lawyer responded.
696
00:39:23,944 --> 00:39:25,905
He said Mr. Grant ran a clean business,
697
00:39:25,988 --> 00:39:28,783
and he welcomed the opportunity
to demonstrate that to us.
698
00:39:28,866 --> 00:39:30,576
And have you followed up with him?
699
00:39:30,659 --> 00:39:33,454
No, I've been busy
on other pressing investigations.
700
00:39:33,537 --> 00:39:37,458
So Alex Grant is just
a person of interest. Is that right?
701
00:39:37,541 --> 00:39:41,212
Someone you thought may have information,
but, so far, nothing has come of it?
702
00:39:41,295 --> 00:39:42,338
That's right.
703
00:39:42,421 --> 00:39:46,759
Agent Vasquez, is Alex Grant currently
under investigation by the FBI?
704
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:48,928
No, he's not.
705
00:39:51,514 --> 00:39:52,514
Not technically.
706
00:39:54,350 --> 00:39:55,350
Uh...
707
00:39:55,393 --> 00:39:57,228
Just a yes or no answer, please.
708
00:39:58,062 --> 00:40:01,774
Agent Vasquez, is Alex Grant
under investigation by the FBI?
709
00:40:03,692 --> 00:40:04,692
No.
710
00:40:06,529 --> 00:40:07,529
Thank you.
711
00:40:08,406 --> 00:40:09,657
No further questions.
712
00:40:15,454 --> 00:40:18,040
You said "technically," Agent Vasquez.
713
00:40:18,541 --> 00:40:21,961
Technically, Alex Grant
is not currently under investigation.
714
00:40:22,044 --> 00:40:23,337
Is there more to that story?
715
00:40:23,421 --> 00:40:24,964
Objection. Asked and answered.
716
00:40:25,047 --> 00:40:26,047
Overruled.
717
00:40:26,465 --> 00:40:29,176
Alex Grant may not be
currently under investigation,
718
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:30,970
but that doesn't mean he's in the clear.
719
00:40:31,053 --> 00:40:31,929
I see.
720
00:40:32,012 --> 00:40:34,640
And does the FBI
typically send target letters
721
00:40:34,723 --> 00:40:36,809
to people they believe are innocent?
722
00:40:38,561 --> 00:40:40,271
No, we do not.
723
00:40:40,855 --> 00:40:44,859
Now, following that logic, do you believe
Alex Grant is guilty of something?
724
00:40:44,942 --> 00:40:46,861
Objection. Calls for speculation.
725
00:40:46,944 --> 00:40:48,028
Sustained.
726
00:40:48,612 --> 00:40:51,240
Okay. If Mitchell Bondurant were alive,
727
00:40:51,323 --> 00:40:54,493
would he be someone
you might wanna talk to about Alex Grant?
728
00:40:54,577 --> 00:40:55,577
Objection!
729
00:40:56,078 --> 00:40:58,456
Sustained. Mr. Haller.
730
00:40:58,539 --> 00:40:59,415
Let's try again.
731
00:40:59,498 --> 00:41:03,878
Agent Vasquez, you said Alex Grant
is not currently under investigation.
732
00:41:03,961 --> 00:41:06,714
Does the FBI intend
to open an investigation into Alex Grant?
733
00:41:06,797 --> 00:41:08,215
Objection.
734
00:41:08,299 --> 00:41:10,384
I'm afraid I cannot answer any questions
735
00:41:10,468 --> 00:41:13,888
that might compromise
an ongoing FBI operation.
736
00:41:14,930 --> 00:41:15,931
"Ongoing."
737
00:41:19,810 --> 00:41:21,312
No further questions, Your Honor.
738
00:41:31,322 --> 00:41:32,323
Mr. Haller.
739
00:41:38,621 --> 00:41:39,747
Aren't you curious?
740
00:41:41,540 --> 00:41:43,125
About where I got the letter?
741
00:41:45,127 --> 00:41:46,879
There must be a leak in your office.
742
00:41:48,714 --> 00:41:53,844
Yeah, well, whoever did it
did me a big favor, so thank them for me.
743
00:41:55,262 --> 00:41:58,933
I don't know what you're talking about,
Mr. Haller, but I will say
744
00:41:59,850 --> 00:42:02,144
the FBI looks forward
to hearing what you can learn
745
00:42:02,228 --> 00:42:04,313
from having Mr. Grant on the stand.
746
00:42:09,693 --> 00:42:10,693
Have a good day now.
747
00:42:13,489 --> 00:42:15,449
Where's the scotch?
748
00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:18,285
In a restaurant
your doctor won't let you go to.
749
00:42:18,953 --> 00:42:23,332
That letter, it didn't just show up
on your doorstep, did it?
750
00:42:23,999 --> 00:42:25,459
You made it happen.
751
00:42:25,543 --> 00:42:29,838
When Grant tried to quash the subpoena,
I made sure there were reporters there.
752
00:42:29,922 --> 00:42:32,299
I was trying to scare him
into not taking the Fifth,
753
00:42:32,383 --> 00:42:35,469
but I also figured the feds
might be watching.
754
00:42:35,553 --> 00:42:39,431
And if they were, they might reach out.
755
00:42:39,515 --> 00:42:41,559
I didn't know for sure, but now I know.
756
00:42:41,642 --> 00:42:44,812
They want me to put this guy on the stand
and do their work for them.
757
00:42:44,895 --> 00:42:47,231
Grand juries are expensive.
758
00:42:47,314 --> 00:42:51,193
If you can get this guy
to make damning admissions on the stand,
759
00:42:51,277 --> 00:42:52,444
so much the better.
760
00:42:52,528 --> 00:42:54,863
That's what they want.
761
00:42:54,947 --> 00:42:57,116
The question is, what do you want?
762
00:42:57,199 --> 00:43:00,828
Don't worry, Legal.
I got a plan to get what I want.
763
00:43:06,375 --> 00:43:07,209
What's up?
764
00:43:07,293 --> 00:43:09,837
What's up is Andrea's requested
a conference in chambers.
765
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:10,963
About what?
766
00:43:11,046 --> 00:43:13,632
I have no idea,
but Judge Medina's waiting.
767
00:43:13,716 --> 00:43:14,716
Oh shit.
768
00:43:15,092 --> 00:43:18,137
Miss Freemann,
you asked for this little tea party,
769
00:43:18,220 --> 00:43:20,931
so what is it that couldn't be
brought out in open court.
770
00:43:21,015 --> 00:43:24,310
The prosecution has come into possession
of a new piece of evidence.
771
00:43:24,393 --> 00:43:26,562
Oh, what... Judge, seriously?
772
00:43:26,645 --> 00:43:30,274
I understand Mr. Haller's reaction.
If I were in his shoes, I'd feel the same.
773
00:43:30,357 --> 00:43:31,191
Yeah.
774
00:43:31,275 --> 00:43:34,320
But I'm afraid
this particular piece of evidence
775
00:43:34,403 --> 00:43:35,904
is so dispositive
776
00:43:36,405 --> 00:43:38,699
I don't see how the court
could refuse to admit it.
777
00:43:42,202 --> 00:43:44,204
Wow. Now I'm intrigued.
778
00:43:44,288 --> 00:43:47,249
What is this mysterious evidence,
Miss Freemann?
779
00:43:49,501 --> 00:43:50,878
The murder weapon.
