1
00:00:28,486 --> 00:00:32,699
There were 750 murder cases filed
in Los Angeles last year.

2
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:41,750
750 times the prosecutors filed charges
under Penal Code Section 187,

3
00:00:43,126 --> 00:00:46,296
the biggest, most important charge
they can file.

4
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:52,010
No matter how different
the facts were in each of those cases,

5
00:00:53,803 --> 00:00:55,138
at the end of the day,

6
00:00:56,181 --> 00:00:58,016
every one of them was the same.

7
00:01:00,977 --> 00:01:06,566
Because at the end of the day,
every murder case is like a tree.

8
00:01:08,109 --> 00:01:10,361
A tall, shady tree.

9
00:01:12,572 --> 00:01:15,950
And it's the prosecutor's job
to feed and water that tree.

10
00:01:17,577 --> 00:01:20,955
They will use every tool they have
to guard and protect that tree.

11
00:01:23,124 --> 00:01:25,543
Direct evidence,
circumstantial evidence,

12
00:01:25,627 --> 00:01:27,170
forensic science,

13
00:01:27,754 --> 00:01:30,715
motive, means, and opportunity.

14
00:01:31,382 --> 00:01:33,843
The state will spare no expense
to give that tree

15
00:01:33,927 --> 00:01:36,471
everything it needs
to grow big and strong.

16
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,271
Because the bigger and stronger
that tree grows,

17
00:01:45,355 --> 00:01:47,607
the easier it will be to get a conviction.

18
00:01:51,236 --> 00:01:52,821
And that's what it's all about.

19
00:01:53,655 --> 00:01:56,407
That's the number one rule
of any murder case.

20
00:01:59,285 --> 00:02:00,537
No matter what,

21
00:02:01,663 --> 00:02:04,624
somebody… has to pay.

22
00:02:05,375 --> 00:02:09,003
So if you're accused of murder,
what you need is an axe.

23
00:02:09,087 --> 00:02:11,714
Chop that tree down and burn it to ashes.

24
00:02:12,590 --> 00:02:15,635
And… you're the man with the axe?

25
00:02:15,718 --> 00:02:16,970
Huh? Oh, no.

26
00:02:17,053 --> 00:02:18,930
No, Edgar, I don't have an axe for you.

27
00:02:19,013 --> 00:02:21,057
From what I can see,
you're pretty much screwed.

28
00:02:22,475 --> 00:02:25,353
Man, what the hell do you know,
Haller? Hmm?

29
00:02:25,854 --> 00:02:28,231
If you're so smart,
how come you're in here with me?

30
00:02:31,234 --> 00:02:35,238
Well, it's a mistake.
One that I intend to rectify quickly.

31
00:02:35,321 --> 00:02:37,699
Yeah, you and every other pendejo
in this place.

32
00:02:38,408 --> 00:02:40,910
Edgar, they've got
the license plate of the car

33
00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:44,414
and got you on camera at Union Station
dumping the car in the parking lot.

34
00:02:44,497 --> 00:02:48,084
No. I was just the pinche driver, okay?
I didn't shoot nobody.

35
00:02:48,168 --> 00:02:50,545
It doesn't matter.
You're the one they caught.

36
00:02:50,628 --> 00:02:52,922
You got, what? Two priors.

37
00:02:53,423 --> 00:02:56,050
-Three strikes, and you know what happens.
-Man, fuck you!

38
00:03:05,101 --> 00:03:07,645
The way I see it, Edgar,
you've got one shot.

39
00:03:07,729 --> 00:03:09,689
You know why
they got you here in high power

40
00:03:09,772 --> 00:03:11,357
instead of the gang section, right?

41
00:03:12,233 --> 00:03:14,360
Any day now,
they're gonna put you in a room

42
00:03:14,444 --> 00:03:15,945
and ask you the big question.

43
00:03:16,029 --> 00:03:17,906
If you weren't the shooter, then who was?

44
00:03:20,158 --> 00:03:22,493
There's nothing in there
that can help you, Edgar.

45
00:03:22,994 --> 00:03:25,413
The only way you can help yourself now is…

46
00:03:26,915 --> 00:03:28,833
…is to give up some names.

47
00:03:28,917 --> 00:03:30,335
Bullshit!

48
00:03:30,418 --> 00:03:32,378
Are you kidding?
You think I'm gonna do that shit?

49
00:03:32,420 --> 00:03:34,881
Just calm down.
You asked me to look at your file.

50
00:03:34,964 --> 00:03:38,051
You don't like my advice,
then go talk to your own lawyer about it.

51
00:03:39,385 --> 00:03:41,304
I can't talk to him about shit.

52
00:03:42,388 --> 00:03:43,681
Don't you get that?

53
00:03:47,727 --> 00:03:51,356
Edgar, if you're saying
that your lawyer works for the gang,

54
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:53,024
I can recommend a public defender.

55
00:03:57,946 --> 00:04:00,823
Chow time, assholes! Deuce it up!

56
00:04:01,658 --> 00:04:02,658

You okay?

60
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:54,752
You should tell your dad
about your micro plastics report.

61
00:04:56,129 --> 00:04:58,965
Mom, I wanna cheer him up,
not bore him to death.

62
00:05:00,049 --> 00:05:04,220
This is a man who likes to discuss
hearsay exceptions for fun.

63
00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:07,807
Your teacher said you have a future
in environmental law. Trust me.

64
00:05:07,890 --> 00:05:09,017
This will cheer him up.

65
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:10,935
How much longer is he gonna be in there?

66
00:05:11,019 --> 00:05:14,105
It's been six weeks.
You said he was getting a speedy trial.

67
00:05:14,188 --> 00:05:18,484
No, I said that he didn't
waive his right to a speedy trial.

68
00:05:18,985 --> 00:05:21,362
All that means is they can't delay it.

69
00:05:21,446 --> 00:05:23,656
It took two weeks to bring charges.

70
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:27,744
After that, they have 60 court days
before they have to bring him to trial.

71
00:05:28,494 --> 00:05:31,080
There's nothing speedy
about this process, honey.

72
00:05:35,460 --> 00:05:37,712
Hayley, if I know one thing
about your dad,

73
00:05:37,795 --> 00:05:40,506
it's that he wouldn't want you
to worry about him.

74
00:05:40,590 --> 00:05:43,760
He knows the system
like the back of his hand. He's got this.

00:05:52,477 --> 00:05:55,188

78
00:06:04,489 --> 00:06:06,824
That is the section
that covers grand theft.

79
00:06:06,908 --> 00:06:10,119
Now you're usually
only looking at a year in jail.

80
00:06:10,203 --> 00:06:14,374
Unless you have multiple priors,
which, oh, unfortunately, you do.

81
00:06:14,457 --> 00:06:17,126
Oh, uh… I've given all that up.

82
00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:18,461
Uh-huh.

83
00:06:19,837 --> 00:06:22,924
No. No, this was a gift.

84
00:06:23,007 --> 00:06:25,343
I've gone straight, Lorna. Honest.

85
00:06:25,426 --> 00:06:27,887
Well, there's still the matter of the

86
00:06:29,097 --> 00:06:33,351
seven outstanding charges, all of which
we are fully prepared to fight.

87
00:06:33,434 --> 00:06:36,354
Except that Mickey's,
you know, in jail…

88
00:06:36,437 --> 00:06:38,439
…which is where I'd like to avoid going.

89
00:06:38,523 --> 00:06:40,858
Well, that and the trunk of his car.

90
00:06:42,652 --> 00:06:45,488
Yeah. Yeah,
that is an unfortunate speed bump.

91
00:06:45,571 --> 00:06:48,282
But I can assure you,
you are in very good hands.

92
00:06:48,366 --> 00:06:50,076
I'm the firm's most senior associate.

93
00:06:50,159 --> 00:06:52,078
You mean you're the firm's only associate.

94
00:06:52,161 --> 00:06:54,414
Either way,
I'll be taking over Mickey's clients.

95
00:06:54,497 --> 00:06:58,543
So while he deals with his little
murder thingy, why don't you sign here?

96
00:07:00,294 --> 00:07:03,131
Look, I think I have
to consider my options.

97
00:07:03,214 --> 00:07:06,968
I appreciate your hustle and all,
but I just can't afford to get mixed up

98
00:07:07,051 --> 00:07:09,429
with, you know, criminals.

99
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:12,682
You understand, right?

Depends who's asking.

113
00:08:07,862 --> 00:08:09,280
Dennis Wojciechowski.

114
00:08:10,406 --> 00:08:13,910
I'm an investigator
for your former lawyer, Mickey Haller.

115
00:08:15,244 --> 00:08:16,704
Haller. Huh.

116
00:08:17,246 --> 00:08:20,082
-Haven't heard that name in a while.
-Nine years, to be exact.

117
00:08:20,166 --> 00:08:23,252
That's how long ago you were sent up
on a manslaughter charge,

118
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:25,922
and you blamed Mickey
for not getting you a better deal.

119
00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:29,800
At least that's what you wrote in those
angry letters you sent from Pelican Bay.

120
00:08:30,384 --> 00:08:32,720
A lot of free time on your hands
when you're inside.

121
00:08:32,803 --> 00:08:34,889
Gotta do something
to keep yourself occupied.

122
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,849
Come to think of it,

123
00:08:38,059 --> 00:08:41,604
I remember hearing Haller's name recently.
He arrested for murder or something?

124
00:08:41,687 --> 00:08:43,898
Yeah, or something.

125
00:08:44,774 --> 00:08:49,278
So I'm just visiting his former clients
who might have had a beef with him.

126
00:08:49,987 --> 00:08:52,698
This place was listed
as your work address.

127
00:08:54,492 --> 00:08:55,826
So let me get this straight.

128
00:08:56,619 --> 00:09:00,248
You think I killed some total stranger
and tried to set up Haller for it?

129
00:09:00,831 --> 00:09:03,543
Well, I'm just trying
to rule out possibilities, Raul.

130
00:09:03,626 --> 00:09:07,171
Tell me where you were
the night of Thursday, September 16th,

131
00:09:07,255 --> 00:09:09,257
and maybe I can rule out this one.

132
00:09:16,138 --> 00:09:17,138
Well,

133
00:09:18,224 --> 00:09:21,394
if it was Thursday,
then I'm sure I was conducting a class.

134
00:09:22,186 --> 00:09:23,646
At the liquor store?

135
00:09:24,939 --> 00:09:26,774
The liquor store belongs to my cousin.

136
00:09:27,316 --> 00:09:29,777
He's kind enough to let me use
the space next door.

137
00:09:30,486 --> 00:09:32,697
We have Bible study every Thursday night.

138
00:09:32,780 --> 00:09:35,324
Like I said, when you're inside,

139
00:09:35,908 --> 00:09:37,868
gotta find a way
to keep yourself occupied.

140
00:09:44,625 --> 00:09:46,335
Tell Mickey we'll be praying for him.

141
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:50,255
Oh, hey.

142
00:09:51,132 --> 00:09:52,132
God bless.

143
00:10:07,106 --> 00:10:10,526
Another development in the case
of well-known LA defense attorney

144
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:12,987
Michael Haller,
who's currently awaiting trial

145
00:10:13,070 --> 00:10:16,657
for his suspected involvement
in the murder of a former client.

146
00:10:16,741 --> 00:10:19,493
It's been a month
since the grand jury returned charges,

147
00:10:19,577 --> 00:10:21,954
and the DA's decision
to seek a secret indictment

148
00:10:22,038 --> 00:10:23,914
instead of filing a complaint

149
00:10:23,998 --> 00:10:28,169
has effectively tied the defense's hands
as they attempt to prepare for trial.

150
00:10:28,252 --> 00:10:30,004
But there were signs of movement today

151
00:10:30,087 --> 00:10:32,423
as a judge was finally assigned
to the case.

152
00:10:32,506 --> 00:10:34,342
Judge Lionel Stone, a former prosecutor…

153
00:10:35,343 --> 00:10:37,261
…who's known for his tough sentencing…

154
00:10:37,345 --> 00:10:38,471
Haller and Associates.

155
00:10:38,554 --> 00:10:41,140
…court will be in session today
for the first…

156
00:10:41,223 --> 00:10:44,143
Sorry, we have no comment
on the charges at this time. Thank you.

157
00:10:44,226 --> 00:10:48,064
Stay tuned for updates.
I'm Kacey Montoya, KTLA 5 News.

158
00:10:48,731 --> 00:10:50,608
You find any security footage?

159
00:10:51,359 --> 00:10:54,445
Not yet. It's pretty desolate
where Mickey got pulled over.

160
00:10:54,528 --> 00:10:56,197
No cameras or anything around there.

161
00:10:57,948 --> 00:10:59,367
Ooh, is that cold brew?

162
00:10:59,450 --> 00:11:01,410
I got my paralegal class
in a couple hours.

163
00:11:01,494 --> 00:11:04,205
-Yeah. There's more in the fridge.
-Blue Bottle? Stumptown?

164
00:11:04,288 --> 00:11:06,123
More like Costco's finest.

165
00:11:06,207 --> 00:11:09,543
Until Julian's settlement comes in,
we have to save for Mickey's defense.

166
00:11:09,627 --> 00:11:11,671
I thought Julian's settlement was done.

167
00:11:11,754 --> 00:11:13,381
The negotiation is done.

168
00:11:13,464 --> 00:11:14,882
It could take up to a year

169
00:11:14,965 --> 00:11:17,218
to draw up the paperwork
and cut the check.

170
00:11:17,301 --> 00:11:18,469
Lawyers.

171
00:11:21,138 --> 00:11:22,515
Hey, any luck?

172
00:11:23,474 --> 00:11:25,935
Depends on your definition of luck.

173
00:11:26,727 --> 00:11:27,895
What…

174
00:11:30,064 --> 00:11:33,150
So far, every disgruntled client

175
00:11:33,234 --> 00:11:34,985
currently not in prison

176
00:11:35,069 --> 00:11:37,905
has an alibi for the night of the murder.

177
00:11:38,406 --> 00:11:41,117
And all of our current clients
keep dumping us.

178
00:11:42,034 --> 00:11:43,119
It's a catch-22.

179
00:11:43,202 --> 00:11:45,621
Nobody wants us
when Mickey's on trial for murder,

180
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:48,207
but without the income,
how are we gonna get him out?

181
00:11:48,290 --> 00:11:50,084
What about the Sam Scales angle?

182
00:11:50,167 --> 00:11:53,295
It would take decades
to run down everyone who hated Sam.

183
00:11:53,379 --> 00:11:54,588
I'm looking for overlaps.

184
00:11:54,672 --> 00:11:58,342
Somebody who wanted Sam dead
and had a reason to pin it on Mickey.

185
00:11:58,968 --> 00:12:02,388
Sure you didn't get anything from the DA
that would help narrow it down?

186
00:12:02,471 --> 00:12:05,558
Are you kidding? It would take
an order from the governor's office

187
00:12:05,641 --> 00:12:07,560
to get them to hand over discovery.

188
00:12:07,643 --> 00:12:08,853
Yeah.

189
00:12:08,936 --> 00:12:11,605
I think I'm gonna need
one of those cold brews after all.

190
00:12:26,287 --> 00:12:27,329
Bamba.

191
00:12:28,622 --> 00:12:29,957
What's up, Counselor?

192
00:12:30,916 --> 00:12:33,753
You sure got Quesada all worked up
in the day room back there.

193
00:12:33,836 --> 00:12:37,465
Yeah, where the hell were you? I thought
you were supposed to protect me in here.

194
00:12:37,548 --> 00:12:39,049
Don't worry. I got you.

195
00:12:39,633 --> 00:12:41,260
I was watching the whole time.

196
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:42,970
From where? From up here?

197
00:12:43,053 --> 00:12:45,765
Hey, you're not paying me enough
to follow you everywhere.

198
00:12:45,848 --> 00:12:48,100
If there was a problem, I'd handle it.

199
00:12:48,184 --> 00:12:49,984
That's what I get
for trying to help.

200
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:52,980
Next time somebody asks
if there's a lawyer in the house,

201
00:12:53,063 --> 00:12:54,315
gonna keep my mouth shut.

202
00:12:54,398 --> 00:12:55,398
It might be smarter.

203
00:12:56,901 --> 00:12:59,528
You always tie your files up
like you wiring a car?

204
00:12:59,612 --> 00:13:02,698
This way, I know if somebody's
been snooping where they shouldn't be.

205
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:04,784
You think I trust the deputies in here?

206
00:13:04,867 --> 00:13:06,827
I trust Edgar Quesada more.

207
00:13:07,578 --> 00:13:10,414
I've got my hearing today.
Gotta make sure I've got everything.

208
00:13:10,498 --> 00:13:13,375
Well, hey, look. If you wanna practice
your speech on me again,

209
00:13:13,459 --> 00:13:14,877
that's gonna cost you extra.

210
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,796
No need, Bamba. Thank you.

211
00:13:18,130 --> 00:13:20,341
Hey, well, look. Remember what I told you.

212
00:13:20,424 --> 00:13:23,719
When you get on that bus,
make sure you sit towards the front.

213
00:13:23,803 --> 00:13:26,847
That way, if shit goes down,
the guards are right on top of it.

214
00:13:26,931 --> 00:13:29,183
Okay, but what if they put me in the back?

215
00:13:32,061 --> 00:13:33,061
Right.

216
00:13:34,355 --> 00:13:35,355
Hey, good luck!

217
00:13:36,774 --> 00:13:38,901
Don't forget to give the man
the finger for me.

218
00:14:09,265 --> 00:14:10,307
Fuck you!

219
00:14:12,768 --> 00:14:13,894
Fuck you!

220
00:14:16,021 --> 00:14:17,189
You suck!

221
00:14:32,037 --> 00:14:35,916
7211956.

222
00:14:38,502 --> 00:14:42,214
7211956.

223
00:14:42,298 --> 00:14:43,465
Um, here.

224
00:14:50,097 --> 00:14:51,140
Let's go.

225
00:15:05,529 --> 00:15:07,031
-Hey.
-There he is.

226
00:15:07,114 --> 00:15:09,742
Started to think you wouldn't make it
before the hearing.

227
00:15:09,825 --> 00:15:12,161
Sheriff's department
runs on their own schedule.

228
00:15:12,244 --> 00:15:15,456
We brought the motions and your suit.

229
00:15:15,539 --> 00:15:19,543
I was thinking red tie
'cause it projects power and confidence.

230
00:15:19,627 --> 00:15:22,004
No, red's too confrontational.
Let's, uh…

231
00:15:23,797 --> 00:15:26,967
Let's go with blue.
Right? Blue just projects calm.

232
00:15:27,051 --> 00:15:29,678
Even need the suit?
We don't even have a jury.

233
00:15:29,762 --> 00:15:33,432
But we'll pick one soon, and I don't want
them seeing photos of me in jail scrubs.

234
00:15:33,515 --> 00:15:36,685
Also don't want them to see you
looking like a hobo riding the rails.

235
00:15:37,728 --> 00:15:39,521
No offense. It completely works on you.

236
00:15:39,605 --> 00:15:40,522
Yeah, good point.

237
00:15:40,606 --> 00:15:42,232
And before anything else,

238
00:15:42,316 --> 00:15:44,610
I want you to eat
these carnitas tacos we brought.

239
00:15:45,319 --> 00:15:47,988
The last thing you want
is to spill salsa on a clean shirt.

240
00:15:48,072 --> 00:15:49,281
Thank you.

241
00:15:50,532 --> 00:15:51,532
Mm.

242
00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:54,078
You have no idea
how bad the food is inside.

243
00:15:54,161 --> 00:15:57,456
I'm starting to get
a pretty good picture, actually.

244
00:15:57,957 --> 00:16:00,125
So how's everybody feeling? Good?

245
00:16:01,710 --> 00:16:04,922
Well, uh, under the circumstances,
we are...

246
00:16:05,005 --> 00:16:07,132
Listen,
just like Legal always says,

247
00:16:07,716 --> 00:16:09,677
act like a winner,
and you will be a winner.

248
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,179
We're gonna win this thing.
No doubt in my mind.

249
00:16:12,262 --> 00:16:14,306
Let's talk about the motion to suppress.

250
00:16:14,390 --> 00:16:16,266
You found some precedent, probable cause?

251
00:16:16,350 --> 00:16:19,478
Sure. Plenty, but getting a judge
to throw out the discovery of a body

252
00:16:19,561 --> 00:16:22,564
in a murder case is a pretty tall order.
Which reminds me…

253
00:16:23,148 --> 00:16:26,276
Oh, right,
the, uh, judge you're assigned. Stone.

254
00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:29,196
In addition to being a former prosecutor,

255
00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:31,949
apparently, he's got a reputation
for being prickly.

256
00:16:32,032 --> 00:16:34,576
Which means we all need to be
on our best behavior.

257
00:16:34,660 --> 00:16:36,453
Let's not give him any excuses.

258
00:16:36,537 --> 00:16:39,790
I don't know him, but sometimes,
former prosecutors are good.

259
00:16:39,873 --> 00:16:41,333
They don't wanna look biased,

260
00:16:41,417 --> 00:16:44,586
so they try to rule in favor
of the defense as much as possible.

261
00:16:45,629 --> 00:16:48,298
Plus, this deputy DA we got, Richard…

262
00:16:48,382 --> 00:16:50,926
He's green.
He won't know how to fight back. Oh…

263
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,888
I'm taking Officer Collins.
I don't buy his story for a second.

264
00:16:54,972 --> 00:16:57,474
Mickey, you questioning the officer
that pulled you over

265
00:16:57,558 --> 00:16:59,977
might come across a little vindictive.
I should do it.

266
00:17:00,060 --> 00:17:02,771
You take the discovery motion.
It should be straightforward.

267
00:17:02,855 --> 00:17:06,775
They haven't given us anything yet.
Oh, and as for the bail argument…

268
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:09,820
-That's not a priority today.
-What?

269
00:17:09,903 --> 00:17:13,198
I don't know how much time we'll get.
We need to focus on important things.

270
00:17:13,282 --> 00:17:14,742
If there's time, we can argue bail.

271
00:17:14,825 --> 00:17:16,827
If not,
we'll just save it for another day.

272
00:17:18,454 --> 00:17:21,457
Uh, Mick, don't you want out of jail?

273
00:17:21,540 --> 00:17:24,501
Of course I do, but not at any price.

274
00:17:24,585 --> 00:17:26,253
They set bail at five million.

275
00:17:26,336 --> 00:17:29,548
That's 500 grand to a bail bondsman
we don't have,

276
00:17:29,631 --> 00:17:31,133
and we're never gonna get back.

277
00:17:31,216 --> 00:17:33,385
Which is why we're arguing to reduce it.

278
00:17:33,469 --> 00:17:36,764
Even if we get it down, that's Hayley's
college fund we're talking about.

279
00:17:36,847 --> 00:17:38,390
Not to mention law school.

280
00:17:38,974 --> 00:17:40,934
Mick, you know we'll defer our salaries.

281
00:17:41,018 --> 00:17:43,270
No, I'm not asking anyone to do that.

282
00:17:43,353 --> 00:17:46,482
Look, we're almost halfway
into my speedy trial timeline.

283
00:17:46,565 --> 00:17:49,735
I've got two more months
until they have to put up or shut up.

284
00:17:49,818 --> 00:17:51,779
I can do two more months if I have to.

285
00:17:52,613 --> 00:17:55,824
Okay, Mickey, I'm gonna ask you this
one last time.

286
00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:58,702
Do you want me to call Andrea Freemann?
Maybe she can help.

287
00:17:58,786 --> 00:18:00,913
No, I… I'm not dragging Andy into this.

288
00:18:00,996 --> 00:18:03,373
She's got enough problems
in the DA's office.

289
00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:08,170
We got this, all right? Trust me.
Now come on. Let's go win this thing.

290
00:18:17,971 --> 00:18:20,140
The homework and reading is posted online.

291
00:18:20,224 --> 00:18:23,936
Shepardize the cases, and tell me
if there's still good law or not.

292
00:18:24,019 --> 00:18:25,854
Have a good rest of the day, everybody.

293
00:18:31,777 --> 00:18:32,777
You okay?

294
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:34,237
What?

295
00:18:34,947 --> 00:18:35,948
Oh…

296
00:18:36,031 --> 00:18:38,158
Yeah, I was just hoping
for an update from work.

297
00:18:38,242 --> 00:18:39,868
Hmm. Very conscientious.

298
00:18:39,952 --> 00:18:43,497
The majority of us are actively trying
to avoid updates from work.

299
00:18:44,581 --> 00:18:46,250
-Izzy, right?
-That's me.

300
00:18:46,333 --> 00:18:49,086
Izzy with the masterful command
of the California Penal Code.

301
00:18:49,169 --> 00:18:52,589
I don't know about that. I just hear
about it all day long at the office.

302
00:18:52,673 --> 00:18:55,342
And you're…
Don't tell me. It starts with a G?

303
00:18:55,843 --> 00:18:56,844
Grace.

304
00:18:56,927 --> 00:18:58,929
Right. Grace.

305
00:18:59,012 --> 00:19:01,014
Sorry, I'm still learning
everyone's names.

306
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:03,976
I obviously do not have
a masterful command of the contact list.

307
00:19:04,059 --> 00:19:06,186
Well, if you wanna
clear your head a little bit,

308
00:19:06,270 --> 00:19:09,273
a few of us are gonna head
to Tabletop in Echo Park after work.

309
00:19:09,940 --> 00:19:12,067
Is that the place
with all the old arcade games?

310
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:14,653
Yes, and the killer hot wings.

311
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:18,198
Damn. Hot wings and Pac-Man.
It's a tough combination to beat.

312
00:19:18,282 --> 00:19:21,618
Thank you. That's what I'm saying.
You should come. It'll be fun.

313
00:19:21,702 --> 00:19:22,911
Uh…

314
00:19:23,871 --> 00:19:25,122
I don't know. I…

315
00:19:25,622 --> 00:19:28,125
I'd like to. Just a lot going on
at my office right now.

316
00:19:29,209 --> 00:19:33,088
Yeah. So, okay.
I have a confession to make. Um…

317
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:36,300
My boss kind of knows your boss a little.

318
00:19:37,384 --> 00:19:40,012
Yeah, it's the whole
defense attorney circle stuff,

319
00:19:40,095 --> 00:19:42,055
but he says really nice things about him.

320
00:19:42,139 --> 00:19:44,224
I'm sorry that you guys
have to deal with this.

321
00:19:44,725 --> 00:19:48,604
Thanks. Actually, this class has been good
for me to get my mind off it a little bit.

322
00:19:48,687 --> 00:19:51,315
Yeah, that's exactly why
you should come out tonight.

323
00:19:51,398 --> 00:19:54,193
My phone number is in that contact list
that you didn't read.

324
00:19:55,277 --> 00:19:57,613
Or you can just show up.
You can just come by.

325
00:19:57,696 --> 00:20:00,115
I think we're gonna get there
at, like, 6:00?

326
00:20:00,908 --> 00:20:01,950
Uh…

327
00:20:02,451 --> 00:20:03,660
Yeah. Okay. I'll try.

328
00:20:03,744 --> 00:20:04,744
Yeah?

329
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:07,206
Can I take that as a definite maybe?

330
00:20:08,165 --> 00:20:10,167
You can take that as a definite maybe.

331
00:20:10,250 --> 00:20:11,710
All right. Great.

332
00:20:11,793 --> 00:20:15,923
Okay. Well, I will maybe
see you later, then, Izzy.

333
00:20:28,101 --> 00:20:29,269
All rise.

334
00:20:30,312 --> 00:20:34,149
Case number BA59972.

335
00:20:34,733 --> 00:20:36,235
People versus Michael Haller.

336
00:20:36,860 --> 00:20:39,196
The Honorable Lionel Stone presiding.

337
00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:40,906
Have you noticed who's not here?

338
00:20:40,989 --> 00:20:44,034
Officer Collins. Still playing games.

339
00:20:45,285 --> 00:20:46,703
Counsel may be seated.

340
00:20:47,537 --> 00:20:50,457
-Before we begin, are there any issues...
-What? I'm in court.

341
00:20:51,708 --> 00:20:54,836
I'm so sorry, Mr. Richards.
Is this court keeping you?

342
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,255
No, Your Honor.

343
00:20:58,340 --> 00:20:59,967
Uh… It's just…

344
00:21:01,301 --> 00:21:02,886
Sorry. Hey, I'm in…

345
00:21:03,971 --> 00:21:04,971
What?

346
00:21:05,389 --> 00:21:07,182
Are you kidding… Hey, wait a minute.

347
00:21:07,683 --> 00:21:09,768
I've been preparing this for…

348
00:21:10,769 --> 00:21:12,938
Your Honor, uh,
if I could request two minutes.

349
00:21:13,021 --> 00:21:14,690
My sincere apologies to the court.

350
00:21:16,858 --> 00:21:17,943
Outside, please.

351
00:21:20,112 --> 00:21:23,156
-I don't believe this.
-Just when you think you've seen it all.

352
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,077
I dropped three cases for this.
One was a gang murder. This is completely…

353
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:31,331
Dana Berg for the People, Your Honor.

354
00:21:31,832 --> 00:21:34,584
My apologies on behalf of our office,

355
00:21:34,668 --> 00:21:36,920
but there has been a personnel change,

356
00:21:37,004 --> 00:21:40,090
and I will be taking over this case
moving forward.

357
00:21:40,173 --> 00:21:41,550
Who the hell is that?

358
00:21:41,633 --> 00:21:42,884
"Death Row" Dana.

359
00:21:42,968 --> 00:21:45,012
They call her Death Row Dana?

360
00:21:45,095 --> 00:21:46,763
-So noted, Ms. Berg.
-Yep.

361
00:21:47,389 --> 00:21:49,516
As is the irregular manner
of your appearance.

362
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,478
Can we please get on with this?
I do have other hearings today.

363
00:21:55,981 --> 00:21:57,149
Absolutely, Your Honor.

364
00:21:57,232 --> 00:22:00,360
Lorna Crane for the defense,
along with pro se counsel Michael Haller.

365
00:22:00,944 --> 00:22:02,779
We're here on a number of motions.

366
00:22:02,863 --> 00:22:05,365
Firstly, a motion to suppress
any evidence obtained

367
00:22:05,449 --> 00:22:07,492
during the illegal traffic stop
of my client.

368
00:22:07,576 --> 00:22:11,038
The defense contends that Mr. Haller
was set up and framed for this murder,

369
00:22:11,121 --> 00:22:13,457
and it began
with a warrant less search of his car.

370
00:22:13,540 --> 00:22:14,583
Set up?

371
00:22:15,250 --> 00:22:16,250
By whom?

372
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,086
I'm sorry?

373
00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:22,174
You just said Mr. Haller was set up
and framed. By whom, Ms. Crane?

374
00:22:22,841 --> 00:22:23,967
Um…

375
00:22:24,051 --> 00:22:27,512
Your Honor, I believe that's irrelevant
for the purpose of this hearing.

376
00:22:27,596 --> 00:22:29,264
Irrelevant? Is that so?

377
00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:31,683
-No. I'm sorry...
-Your Honor, if I may?

378
00:22:32,184 --> 00:22:35,645
And thank you again to the court
for allowing me to appear pro se

379
00:22:35,729 --> 00:22:37,814
alongside my cocounsel, Ms. Crane.

380
00:22:38,857 --> 00:22:39,858
Go ahead, Mr. Haller.

381
00:22:41,026 --> 00:22:44,613
Now, in terms of relevance,
we agree that once we go to trial,

382
00:22:44,696 --> 00:22:47,491
the identity of the party
who framed me will be very relevant.

383
00:22:47,574 --> 00:22:51,370
But at this time, respectfully,
we feel it would be manifestly unjust

384
00:22:51,453 --> 00:22:54,790
to have to reveal every detail
of our case to the prosecution.

385
00:22:54,873 --> 00:22:58,085
We're merely challenging the validity
of a traffic stop. Nothing more.

386
00:22:59,753 --> 00:23:02,047
Fine. Let's just move on, then.

387
00:23:02,714 --> 00:23:05,092
Thank you.
Now, as Ms. Crane said,

388
00:23:05,175 --> 00:23:07,636
we filed a motion challenging
the traffic stop

389
00:23:07,719 --> 00:23:10,639
and the search of my trunk
by Officer Collins.

390
00:23:10,722 --> 00:23:12,432
A hearing is required on this motion,

391
00:23:12,516 --> 00:23:14,851
and yet
Officer Collins is nowhere to be seen.

392
00:23:14,935 --> 00:23:17,854
My investigator has been trying
to contact him for six weeks,

393
00:23:17,938 --> 00:23:19,773
also with no success.

394
00:23:19,856 --> 00:23:22,484
It seems by hiding Officer Collins
until it's too late,

395
00:23:22,567 --> 00:23:25,695
the prosecution is doing everything
they can to prevent a fair trial.

396
00:23:26,405 --> 00:23:29,491
Your Honor, as the court
and the defendant both know,

397
00:23:29,574 --> 00:23:32,411
I'm new to this case,
but I fail to see how anyone

398
00:23:32,494 --> 00:23:34,913
from our side has been hiding anything,

399
00:23:34,996 --> 00:23:37,541
let alone trying to prevent a fair trial.

400
00:23:37,624 --> 00:23:39,668
On the contrary, we look forward to one.

401
00:23:39,751 --> 00:23:42,003
-What...
-Your Honor, may I be heard again?

402
00:23:42,087 --> 00:23:43,964
Will you two make up your minds already?

403
00:23:44,464 --> 00:23:45,715
Go ahead, Ms. Crane.

404
00:23:46,216 --> 00:23:50,011
The prosecution clearly doesn't want us
to talk to Officer Collins before trial.

405
00:23:50,095 --> 00:23:52,973
This goes back to the decision
to seek a grand jury indictment,

406
00:23:53,056 --> 00:23:54,808
where he could testify in secret

407
00:23:54,891 --> 00:23:57,870
instead of holding a preliminary hearing
where we'd be able to question him.

408
00:23:57,894 --> 00:24:01,314
Which is a perfectly valid option
for the prosecution to choose.

409
00:24:01,398 --> 00:24:04,359
And one that prevented Mr. Haller
from confronting his accuser,

410
00:24:04,443 --> 00:24:06,319
not to mention the missing video footage.

411
00:24:06,903 --> 00:24:07,946
There's video footage?

412
00:24:08,029 --> 00:24:11,450
Yes, Your Honor. Officer Collins
was wearing a body camera that night,

413
00:24:11,533 --> 00:24:14,035
and there's also a dashboard camera
in his cruiser.

414
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,037
We've been given none of that footage yet.

415
00:24:16,121 --> 00:24:18,290
I'm confused, Your Honor.

416
00:24:18,373 --> 00:24:23,670
Is this a motion to suppress evidence
or a request for evidence?

417
00:24:23,753 --> 00:24:24,838
-It's both.
-Both.

418
00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:27,632
Which is why we filed motions on both.

419
00:24:27,716 --> 00:24:30,302
The prosecution has the burden
of justifying the search.

420
00:24:30,385 --> 00:24:32,888
So far, they haven't justified anything.

421
00:24:32,971 --> 00:24:35,056
All they've done
is violate rules of discovery.

422
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,518
Ms. Berg, where are we
with this video footage?

423
00:24:38,602 --> 00:24:39,769
Your Honor, my apologies.

424
00:24:39,853 --> 00:24:42,814
I'm told there were technical difficulties
with the transferring...

425
00:24:42,898 --> 00:24:44,065
Technical difficulties?

426
00:24:44,649 --> 00:24:46,067
My freedom is on the line here,

427
00:24:46,151 --> 00:24:48,570
and the best they can do
is technical difficulties?

428
00:24:48,653 --> 00:24:52,991
If the defendant would stop interrupting,
Your Honor, I can explain.

429
00:24:53,074 --> 00:24:55,744
Hold your powder, Mr. Haller.
Go ahead, Ms. Berg.

430
00:24:55,827 --> 00:24:56,827
Thank you.

431
00:24:56,870 --> 00:24:58,830
As I was saying, I'm new to the case,

432
00:24:58,914 --> 00:25:02,042
so any tardiness
with the discovery is news to me.

433
00:25:02,125 --> 00:25:06,630
That said, I can have Officer Collins here
at the court's convenience.

434
00:25:06,713 --> 00:25:09,341
And as far as the video footage, yes.

435
00:25:09,424 --> 00:25:11,927
Our office
had some technical difficulties.

436
00:25:12,010 --> 00:25:13,595
Emphasis on had.

437
00:25:13,678 --> 00:25:15,639
We have rectified the situation

438
00:25:15,722 --> 00:25:18,725
and are delivering the footage
to the defendant immediately,

439
00:25:18,808 --> 00:25:21,645
along with the rest
of the discovery they requested.

440
00:25:22,145 --> 00:25:24,856
I assume that arrangement
would be satisfactory, Mr. Haller?

441
00:25:25,815 --> 00:25:28,693
It's fine, Your Honor,
but point of order, please.

442
00:25:29,611 --> 00:25:31,112
What is it now?

443
00:25:31,613 --> 00:25:36,618
Your Honor, Ms. Berg has now referred
to me three times as the defendant.

444
00:25:37,202 --> 00:25:40,372
Now, it is true.
I am the accused in this case.

445
00:25:40,455 --> 00:25:46,044
But when I am arguing before the court,
I am counsel for the defense.

446
00:25:48,088 --> 00:25:51,091
I would ask the court to direct Ms. Berg
to refer to me as such.

447
00:25:51,174 --> 00:25:53,843
Come on. That's just semantics.
You are the defendant.

448
00:25:53,927 --> 00:25:57,180
You are also the defense counsel.
Same difference in this case.

449
00:25:57,764 --> 00:25:59,891
Members of the jury
might see the difference.

450
00:26:00,642 --> 00:26:03,687
No response necessary, Ms. Berg.
Request is denied.

451
00:26:04,187 --> 00:26:06,565
I'd advise you
not to press your luck, Mr. Haller.

452
00:26:08,567 --> 00:26:09,567
Now,

453
00:26:10,694 --> 00:26:13,154
I'm gonna continue this hearing
until tomorrow morning,

454
00:26:13,238 --> 00:26:15,448
at which time,
I'll expect to see Officer Collins

455
00:26:15,532 --> 00:26:17,158
in this courtroom ready to go.

456
00:26:17,242 --> 00:26:20,203
Any matters we didn't get to today
can be taken up then.

457
00:26:20,787 --> 00:26:23,665
But first, I wanna have a word
with both sides about discovery.

458
00:26:24,332 --> 00:26:25,625
Let me be clear.

459
00:26:26,418 --> 00:26:29,129
In this courtroom,
discovery is a two-way street.

460
00:26:29,212 --> 00:26:32,924
What comes in must go out.
No review, no arguments.

461
00:26:33,508 --> 00:26:36,845
What the people get, the defense gets,
and vice versa, without delay.

462
00:26:36,928 --> 00:26:40,515
The penalty for violation
is the disallowance of the evidence.

463
00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:43,518
Ms. Berg, that means if Officer Collins
fails to appear tomorrow,

464
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:46,396
I will be granting the motion to suppress.
Is that clear?

465
00:26:46,479 --> 00:26:47,897
Yes, Your Honor.

466
00:26:47,981 --> 00:26:48,982
Good.

467
00:26:49,482 --> 00:26:51,901
In that case,
I will see counsel and the defendant

468
00:26:51,985 --> 00:26:53,445
at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.

469
00:26:53,945 --> 00:26:55,071
Court is adjourned.

470
00:27:05,248 --> 00:27:07,709
Well, at least we got discovery.

471
00:27:07,792 --> 00:27:09,592
As soon as I have it,
I'll bring it to county.

472
00:27:09,669 --> 00:27:10,879
As fast as you can.

473
00:27:10,962 --> 00:27:14,633
Maggie and Hayley are coming to see me
during visiting hours. I can't miss that.

474
00:27:14,716 --> 00:27:15,967
I am going to get going.

475
00:27:16,635 --> 00:27:17,510
Where?

476
00:27:17,594 --> 00:27:20,055
I have to meet with another client.

477
00:27:20,138 --> 00:27:22,641
I'm busy. So I will see you tomorrow,

478
00:27:22,724 --> 00:27:25,685
and we can talk discovery
when we get back to the office.

479
00:27:50,669 --> 00:27:52,253
-Maggie.
-Hey.

480
00:27:52,337 --> 00:27:53,546
Hi.

481
00:27:53,630 --> 00:27:56,591
Wow! This place is beautiful.

482
00:27:56,675 --> 00:27:59,177
Yeah, when you work down here
for as long as I did,

483
00:27:59,260 --> 00:28:01,346
you find a few secret spots.
I got you a latte.

484
00:28:01,429 --> 00:28:03,264
Oh my God. Thank you.

485
00:28:03,848 --> 00:28:04,848
Mm.

486
00:28:05,266 --> 00:28:08,353
I have never needed coffee
as much as I need it right now.

487
00:28:08,436 --> 00:28:11,439
They should hook me up
to an IV drip and cut out the middleman.

488
00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:13,900
You've been dealing with a lot.

489
00:28:14,401 --> 00:28:16,569
I know I usually text you
for Mickey updates,

490
00:28:16,653 --> 00:28:19,864
but Hayley wanted to see a friend
from USC, so I had some time.

491
00:28:20,365 --> 00:28:22,409
-Thanks for taking a minute.
-Of course.

492
00:28:22,992 --> 00:28:26,204
Believe it or not, talking to you
is the one thing that's kept me sane.

493
00:28:26,287 --> 00:28:28,998
I don't mean, like, believe it or not.
I just mean...

494
00:28:29,082 --> 00:28:30,250
No, Lorna. It's fine.

495
00:28:30,333 --> 00:28:32,961
Honestly, me too.

496
00:28:34,337 --> 00:28:36,756
Mickey said that you're gonna bring
Hayley to see him.

497
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,758
That's great. That'll mean a lot to him.

498
00:28:38,842 --> 00:28:40,719
That's why I wanted to see you, actually.

499
00:28:40,802 --> 00:28:43,596
I… I need to know
what I'm gonna be dealing with.

500
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,056
How's he doing today?

501
00:28:45,140 --> 00:28:48,977
Today? He is psychotically optimistic,
and I kind of wanna choke him.

502
00:28:49,060 --> 00:28:51,354
Oh, I know that guy.

503
00:28:51,438 --> 00:28:53,857
I know the other guy
who thinks everything is doomed,

504
00:28:53,940 --> 00:28:57,068
so right now, this is the guy we want.

505
00:28:59,988 --> 00:29:02,073
He's in jail, Maggie.

506
00:29:02,657 --> 00:29:04,325
It's affecting the firm,

507
00:29:04,409 --> 00:29:06,953
and it's affecting our reputation.

508
00:29:07,537 --> 00:29:10,206
I am burning the candle at every end,

509
00:29:10,290 --> 00:29:12,083
trying to keep the lights on.

510
00:29:12,167 --> 00:29:13,752
But honestly,

511
00:29:14,335 --> 00:29:16,713
the case doesn't seem like
it's going that well.

512
00:29:17,213 --> 00:29:19,674
They just assigned
this new prosecutor, Dana Berg.

513
00:29:19,758 --> 00:29:21,009
"Iceberg"?

514
00:29:21,092 --> 00:29:23,219
Seriously? She has two nicknames?

515
00:29:23,303 --> 00:29:25,013
She has a lot more than that.

516
00:29:27,223 --> 00:29:30,059
I'm not gonna lie. She is really tough.

517
00:29:30,685 --> 00:29:33,688
And if they put her on the case,
it means they're serious about it.

518
00:29:35,148 --> 00:29:36,733
But Mickey, he's beaten her before.

519
00:29:36,816 --> 00:29:40,737
Great, so add payback
to her list of motivations.

520
00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:45,241
Have you had any issue with discovery?

521
00:29:45,825 --> 00:29:48,536
Oh my God, it's like pulling teeth
from an angry walrus.

522
00:29:49,204 --> 00:29:51,623
But the judge did read her
the riot act today,

523
00:29:51,706 --> 00:29:53,541
so maybe it's gonna be okay?

524
00:29:54,125 --> 00:29:55,502
If she gives you more trouble,

525
00:29:55,585 --> 00:29:58,797
just tell her she's not gonna want
another Rodriguez situation.

526
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,089
She'll know what it means.

527
00:30:02,759 --> 00:30:03,759
Okay.

528
00:30:04,594 --> 00:30:05,595
Thank you.

529
00:30:06,763 --> 00:30:09,933
Why do I feel this is the type of thing
you wouldn't have told Mickey?

530
00:30:10,558 --> 00:30:12,560
Mickey's never been on trial before.

531
00:30:13,269 --> 00:30:14,479
That's a good point.

532
00:30:17,774 --> 00:30:19,651
Lorna, he's beaten her before.

533
00:30:20,193 --> 00:30:21,528
He can do it again.

534
00:30:22,195 --> 00:30:23,363
You both can.

535
00:30:24,447 --> 00:30:25,573
I hope you're right.

536
00:30:33,206 --> 00:30:36,000
She's just
another prosecutor. I can handle her.

537
00:30:36,084 --> 00:30:39,379
They can't keep playing games.
You're missing out on your life.

538
00:30:39,462 --> 00:30:41,422
You are missing out on your daughter

539
00:30:41,506 --> 00:30:44,551
and the possibility
of finding a future wife!

540
00:30:44,634 --> 00:30:45,927
Mama, don't be so dramatic.

541
00:30:46,010 --> 00:30:50,431
The one who should be
more dramatic in your situation is you.

542
00:30:50,515 --> 00:30:55,186
-Tell me what they're feeding you.
-Yes. I'm eating well, Mama.

543
00:30:55,687 --> 00:30:57,355
Ramen from the commissary store.

544
00:30:57,438 --> 00:31:00,233
Your sodium will go through the roof.

545
00:31:00,316 --> 00:31:02,735
You remember Señora Ramirez,
who lived next door?

546
00:31:03,653 --> 00:31:07,782
-Had a stroke from high blood pressure.
-I'm not going to...

547
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:09,075
No, enough.

548
00:31:09,158 --> 00:31:11,286
It has to have some bounce to it.

549
00:31:11,369 --> 00:31:12,620
It's not a helmet.

550
00:31:12,704 --> 00:31:15,039
Are you getting your hair done?

551
00:31:15,123 --> 00:31:17,333
I'm just shooting a commercial.

552
00:31:17,417 --> 00:31:20,378
Now listen. You have to get out of there.

553
00:31:20,461 --> 00:31:22,581
What am I going to do if you don't
come to my wedding?

554
00:31:22,630 --> 00:31:24,299
Who will give away the bride?

555
00:31:24,382 --> 00:31:25,884
You're getting married?

556
00:31:26,384 --> 00:31:27,510
Again?

557
00:31:27,594 --> 00:31:28,469
To who?

558
00:31:28,553 --> 00:31:30,096
Well, Rick, naturally.

559
00:31:30,889 --> 00:31:32,348
Rick, your new agent?

560
00:31:32,432 --> 00:31:34,893
I know it's kind of
a conflict of interest, but…

561
00:31:34,976 --> 00:31:36,728
But he came to visit me in Calgary.

562
00:31:36,811 --> 00:31:41,190
We fell in love
during an ice fishing excursion.

563
00:31:41,858 --> 00:31:43,151
It was very romantic,

564
00:31:43,234 --> 00:31:45,945
and very… cold.

565
00:31:46,029 --> 00:31:48,698
Okay, well,
I'm happy if you're happy, Mama.

566
00:31:49,198 --> 00:31:51,284
I have to go talk to Cisco.

567
00:31:51,367 --> 00:31:54,287
-I'll call you tomorrow.
-Yes, but please be safe.

568
00:31:54,370 --> 00:31:57,373
And remember,
you need to walk me down the aisle.

569
00:31:57,457 --> 00:31:58,875
I love you, son.

570
00:31:58,958 --> 00:32:00,585
I love you too.

571
00:32:00,668 --> 00:32:02,045
Okay. Bye.

572
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,748
Wait. Stop there.

573
00:32:39,832 --> 00:32:41,250
Is this all they sent?

574
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:42,669
What do you mean?

575
00:32:42,752 --> 00:32:46,464
This video only starts when Collins
gets out of the car to come talk to me.

576
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:50,134
They sent the dashboard camera footage,
but it starts and ends

577
00:32:50,218 --> 00:32:51,844
in the exact same place.

578
00:32:52,345 --> 00:32:53,429
Ah, this is bullshit.

579
00:32:53,513 --> 00:32:54,973
Dana Berg knows it.

580
00:32:55,056 --> 00:32:58,518
I wanna know what prompted Collins
to pull me over in the first place.

581
00:32:58,601 --> 00:33:01,437
I wanna see what he was doing
before he decided to follow me.

582
00:33:01,521 --> 00:33:04,524
-You want Lorna to file another motion?
-If she has to.

583
00:33:04,607 --> 00:33:08,528
We need a full hour of body cam footage
prior to the start time they gave us.

584
00:33:08,611 --> 00:33:09,737
Dashboard camera too.

585
00:33:09,821 --> 00:33:13,825
Mick, Lorna's really swamped
trying to keep all the balls in the air.

586
00:33:13,908 --> 00:33:16,786
I know. I'm hoping Izzy
can get up to speed on legal filings,

587
00:33:16,869 --> 00:33:18,579
take some things off Lorna's plate.

588
00:33:19,872 --> 00:33:21,082
Now come on. Keep playing.

589
00:33:24,627 --> 00:33:26,921
See your license,
registration, insurance?

590
00:33:27,005 --> 00:33:31,092
Certainly can, Officer… Collins,
but can I ask why you pulled me over?

591
00:33:31,843 --> 00:33:35,304
I mean, I wasn't speeding,
and all the lights were green.

592
00:33:35,805 --> 00:33:37,515
License,
registration, insurance.

593
00:33:37,598 --> 00:33:40,226
Skip to where he shows me
the missing license plate?

594
00:33:44,564 --> 00:33:46,190
See why I pulled you over?

595
00:33:46,816 --> 00:33:48,359
You have no license plate, sir.

596
00:33:48,443 --> 00:33:49,944
Ah, damn it.

597
00:33:51,112 --> 00:33:55,950
So… Look, uh, I parked downtown,
and somebody must have stolen it.

598
00:33:56,034 --> 00:33:59,537
See, that's the thing.
I don't think anybody stole it.

599
00:33:59,620 --> 00:34:01,664
Why would they?

600
00:34:01,748 --> 00:34:04,917
I think somebody put Sam in my trunk
and then took the plate,

601
00:34:05,001 --> 00:34:07,503
hoping it would give some cop
an excuse to pull me over.

602
00:34:08,254 --> 00:34:10,548
Well, I would say the plan worked, then.

603
00:34:10,631 --> 00:34:12,925
You know
you can't open that trunk.

604
00:34:13,676 --> 00:34:16,679
You don't know if that's blood
or if it's coming from the car.

605
00:34:16,763 --> 00:34:19,515
Whatever it is, maybe I drove through it.

606
00:34:19,599 --> 00:34:21,726
Hey! You can't do that!

607
00:34:28,149 --> 00:34:29,149
Come on.

608
00:34:35,073 --> 00:34:36,074
You okay, Mick?

609
00:34:39,535 --> 00:34:42,330
Sam was a con artist and a crook, but

610
00:34:43,164 --> 00:34:44,665
he didn't deserve this.

611
00:34:47,418 --> 00:34:49,587
Who the hell would do this to him,

612
00:34:50,797 --> 00:34:52,507
and why try to put it on me?

613
00:34:58,346 --> 00:35:00,640
All right, well, what else
did we get in discovery?

614
00:35:01,307 --> 00:35:04,685
Uh, police reports, preliminary forensics.

615
00:35:04,769 --> 00:35:09,982
The ME is estimating Sam was killed
the night before your arrest.

616
00:35:10,858 --> 00:35:13,319
We're still missing
the tox reports though.

617
00:35:13,820 --> 00:35:17,406
Oh, that could take months.
You know how backed up the state labs are.

618
00:35:17,490 --> 00:35:19,158
I may have a way to speed it up.

619
00:35:19,242 --> 00:35:22,328
There's also a witness statement
from one of your neighbors,

620
00:35:22,411 --> 00:35:24,997
a Margaret Shogren,
who says she heard two men

621
00:35:25,081 --> 00:35:26,749
arguing at your place that night.

622
00:35:26,833 --> 00:35:28,793
Ah, I don't think that'll hold up.

623
00:35:28,876 --> 00:35:32,004
She's almost 90.
I didn't think she could hear at all.

624
00:35:33,464 --> 00:35:34,549
We, uh…

625
00:35:36,259 --> 00:35:39,929
…also have the ballistics report, Mick,
and it's not good news.

626
00:35:41,722 --> 00:35:46,185
Bullet that went through Sam's stomach
was found embedded in your garage floor.

627
00:35:47,854 --> 00:35:51,149
Are you saying that whoever did this
shot Sam in my garage?

628
00:35:52,859 --> 00:35:55,361
How? I…
I have security cameras everywhere.

629
00:35:55,444 --> 00:35:58,656
Yeah, we installed cameras
after the rattlesnake incident, sure,

630
00:35:58,739 --> 00:36:01,450
but the front two were on the fritz.

631
00:36:01,534 --> 00:36:03,369
Someone cut the connection.

632
00:36:03,870 --> 00:36:04,954
They cut…

633
00:36:05,746 --> 00:36:08,833
I was home that night.
Why didn't I hear the shots?

634
00:36:09,458 --> 00:36:10,918
They probably used a silencer.

635
00:36:16,674 --> 00:36:18,509
So what's the prosecution's theory?

636
00:36:18,593 --> 00:36:21,888
That I kidnapped Sam,
shot him in my garage,

637
00:36:21,971 --> 00:36:24,682
and then left his body
in my trunk for 24 hours

638
00:36:24,765 --> 00:36:26,559
until I left for Palm Springs?

639
00:36:26,642 --> 00:36:27,935
That's insane.

640
00:36:28,019 --> 00:36:30,188
Well, I don't disagree with you, Mick.

641
00:36:30,813 --> 00:36:35,193
My guess is they'll say you were taking
the body out to the desert to dump it,

642
00:36:35,693 --> 00:36:39,530
and you cut the feed on your own cameras
to avoid being caught on tape.

643
00:36:39,614 --> 00:36:42,241
And now they have the bullet
to sprinkle on top.

644
00:36:45,995 --> 00:36:47,246
You have visitors.

645
00:36:47,330 --> 00:36:49,373
That's Maggie and Hayley. I gotta go.

646
00:36:49,957 --> 00:36:52,460
Cisco, we have to get
the rest of that footage.

647
00:36:52,543 --> 00:36:54,587
I'm on it. And, Mick,

648
00:36:55,379 --> 00:36:56,464
don't sweat it.

649
00:36:56,964 --> 00:36:58,341
We'll figure it out.

650
00:37:08,184 --> 00:37:09,268
Mrs. Chugani.

651
00:37:09,894 --> 00:37:13,189
I know that losing your lead attorney
so close to trial on…

652
00:37:15,066 --> 00:37:17,485
…embezzlement charges
is a tough pill to swallow,

653
00:37:17,568 --> 00:37:22,323
but I can assure you we are going
to work day and night on your defense.

654
00:37:22,406 --> 00:37:23,407
And the good news is

655
00:37:23,491 --> 00:37:26,494
narcotics cases are my specialty,
Mr. Rhedus.

656
00:37:26,577 --> 00:37:29,664
Mickey trained me for years.
I learned from the best.

657
00:37:29,747 --> 00:37:32,083
And I am ready to take on
the toughest cases,

658
00:37:32,166 --> 00:37:33,417
even money laundering.

659
00:37:33,501 --> 00:37:35,378
Especially money laundering.

660
00:37:35,461 --> 00:37:38,089
I will be consulting with Mickey
every step along the way.

661
00:37:38,172 --> 00:37:39,799
So what do you say, Mr. Bieber?

662
00:37:42,218 --> 00:37:46,264
Listen, kid, I hired the Lincoln Lawyer,
not Legally Blonde.

663
00:37:46,347 --> 00:37:48,766
Let me know
when your law degree hits puberty.

664
00:38:07,201 --> 00:38:08,369
Oh, here he is.

665
00:38:15,084 --> 00:38:18,087
Hey! I'm so happy to see you, honey.

666
00:38:18,796 --> 00:38:19,672
Me too.

667
00:38:19,755 --> 00:38:21,507
How are those college courses?

668
00:38:21,590 --> 00:38:24,510
I'm sure there's new restaurants
around USC I need to know about.

669
00:38:24,593 --> 00:38:25,886
Tell me everything. Come on.

670
00:38:26,887 --> 00:38:29,974
Classes are fine. I don't really care.
But are you okay?

671
00:38:30,850 --> 00:38:32,810
Honey, I… I'm totally fine.

672
00:38:32,893 --> 00:38:35,313
I don't want you to worry about me, okay?

673
00:38:35,396 --> 00:38:39,150
-How can you say that? You're in jail.
-I'll be out of here before you know it.

674
00:38:39,233 --> 00:38:41,527
They've got nothing. Their case is weak.

675
00:38:41,610 --> 00:38:42,778
How weak?

676
00:38:43,571 --> 00:38:46,615
Well, I just saw the discovery,
and there's plenty I can do with it.

677
00:38:47,491 --> 00:38:49,577
Tomorrow,
I finally get to question that cop.

678
00:38:49,660 --> 00:38:51,912
He's hiding something. I know he is.

679
00:38:53,581 --> 00:38:56,667
Hey, you know
what a case like this is like, right?

680
00:38:56,751 --> 00:38:57,877
It's like a tree.

681
00:38:59,462 --> 00:39:00,504
I know, Dad.

682
00:39:01,172 --> 00:39:06,010
A tall tree, and the state does
everything they can to feed and water it.

683
00:39:06,093 --> 00:39:07,678
Right. So what am I?

684
00:39:10,264 --> 00:39:11,474
What am I, Hayley?

685
00:39:12,350 --> 00:39:13,642
You're the man with the axe.

686
00:39:14,226 --> 00:39:15,686
Right. I'm the man with the axe.

687
00:39:15,770 --> 00:39:17,938
I'm gonna cut that tree
down to the ground.

688
00:39:20,816 --> 00:39:22,026
Roll call.

689
00:39:23,152 --> 00:39:25,905
7752962.

690
00:39:26,447 --> 00:39:27,448
Here.

691
00:39:27,531 --> 00:39:30,409
-What's going on?
-They're making sure no one's escaped.

692
00:39:30,493 --> 00:39:32,286
Just like school attendance.

693
00:39:32,370 --> 00:39:34,580
6155321.

694
00:39:34,663 --> 00:39:35,664
Yeah.

695
00:39:39,001 --> 00:39:41,629
7122485.

696
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:42,712
Here.

697
00:39:43,381 --> 00:39:45,966
-What are the numbers?
-It's just their booking numbers.

698
00:39:46,050 --> 00:39:47,760
The way they keep track of everybody.

699
00:39:47,843 --> 00:39:49,720
It's nothing, honey. It's just, um…

700
00:39:49,804 --> 00:39:52,515
7211956.

701
00:39:55,351 --> 00:39:56,351
721…

702
00:39:56,394 --> 00:39:57,394
Here.

703
00:40:03,901 --> 00:40:06,362
7043559.

704
00:40:07,113 --> 00:40:08,113
Here.

705
00:40:13,953 --> 00:40:17,665
Why don't you tell him about the class
you're taking on the history of Mexico?

706
00:40:19,583 --> 00:40:22,211
I have to go to the bathroom.
Love you, Dad.

707
00:40:32,763 --> 00:40:34,807
I don't want you to bring
Hayley here anymore.

708
00:40:36,183 --> 00:40:37,017
Mickey.

709
00:40:37,101 --> 00:40:39,145
If she wants to come to court,
that's fine.

710
00:40:39,228 --> 00:40:40,938
I don't want her to see me like this.

711
00:40:43,607 --> 00:40:45,776
I had clients ask me that before.

712
00:40:46,277 --> 00:40:47,570
I never understood.

713
00:40:49,488 --> 00:40:50,573
Now I do.

714
00:40:55,202 --> 00:40:56,202
Okay.

715
00:41:06,046 --> 00:41:08,507
If you have a delivery,
leave it at the reception desk.

716
00:41:09,008 --> 00:41:10,426
Oh, um…

717
00:41:10,509 --> 00:41:12,303
I'm actually looking for a lawyer.

718
00:41:13,053 --> 00:41:14,597
Am I in the right place?

719
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,141
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Mickey's not here right now.

720
00:41:17,224 --> 00:41:18,350
Oh, um,

721
00:41:18,434 --> 00:41:20,603
I'm actually looking for.

722
00:41:21,103 --> 00:41:22,229
Lorna Crane.

723
00:41:22,730 --> 00:41:23,730
Oh.

724
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,609
I'm Lorna Crane. How can I help you?

725
00:41:26,692 --> 00:41:28,944
My friend,
Jessica Schwartz, recommended you.

726
00:41:29,028 --> 00:41:31,447
She said you helped her
with her divorce and that, uh,

727
00:41:32,072 --> 00:41:35,367
you got
her ex-husband's Lambo repossessed.

728
00:41:35,451 --> 00:41:36,744
I did do that.

729
00:41:36,827 --> 00:41:39,747
Yeah, well,
I have my own shitty ex situation.

730
00:41:39,830 --> 00:41:42,249
That's… horrible. I'm so sorry.

731
00:41:42,333 --> 00:41:44,502
I tried calling,
but I couldn't get through,

732
00:41:44,585 --> 00:41:47,755
and I was meeting a friend downtown,
so I thought I'd just stop by.

733
00:41:48,255 --> 00:41:50,799
But are you even taking new clients?

734
00:41:51,675 --> 00:41:54,762
Um, as you can see…
…we are so busy right now.

735
00:41:54,845 --> 00:41:58,098
But I am happy to provide you
with a free consultation

736
00:41:58,182 --> 00:42:01,310
and see where we can fit you in.
Why don't you step into my office?

737
00:42:01,393 --> 00:42:03,270
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

738
00:42:28,587 --> 00:42:30,089
-Hey, Grace.
-Damn it!

739
00:42:30,172 --> 00:42:31,507
Hey, you came.

740
00:42:31,590 --> 00:42:33,175
Yeah, where's everybody else?

741
00:42:33,259 --> 00:42:37,680
Oh, they, uh…
They took off to a karaoke bar… I think.

742
00:42:37,763 --> 00:42:38,806
And you stayed?

743
00:42:38,889 --> 00:42:41,016
Yeah. I mean,
I couldn't leave you high and dry

744
00:42:41,100 --> 00:42:43,185
if you actually decided to show up.

745
00:42:44,061 --> 00:42:46,355
Do you wanna get a drink?
Should we get a drink?

746
00:42:46,438 --> 00:42:48,899
I… actually don't drink,

747
00:42:48,983 --> 00:42:51,402
and full disclosure,
I gotta be at work really early.

748
00:42:51,485 --> 00:42:53,904
That's cool. That's fine. Um… That's fine.

749
00:42:53,988 --> 00:42:57,575
How about one mocktail
and a game of Centipede?

750
00:42:57,658 --> 00:42:58,492
Okay.

751
00:42:58,576 --> 00:43:01,870
I should warn you. I do currently hold
the high score in that game.

752
00:43:01,954 --> 00:43:04,873
-But I will take it easy on you.
-Oh, yeah. Uh-huh. Centipede.

753
00:43:04,957 --> 00:43:06,208
-Hmm? Centipede.
-Mm-hmm.

754
00:43:06,292 --> 00:43:08,711
I mean, we could go Pac-Man
if that's more your jam.

755
00:43:08,794 --> 00:43:10,504
No, no. Centipede's good.

756
00:43:10,588 --> 00:43:12,131
-All I need is one game.
-Okay.

757
00:43:12,214 --> 00:43:13,214
Maybe two.

758
00:43:13,257 --> 00:43:15,426
Okay, now we're talking.

759
00:43:15,509 --> 00:43:16,510
Over here.

760
00:43:27,605 --> 00:43:31,317
So send me all of those emails,
and I can take care of all the paperwork.

761
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,819
We are going to get
that lying sack of shit.

762
00:43:33,902 --> 00:43:37,865
I am so glad
I made the decision to come by here today.

763
00:43:37,948 --> 00:43:40,034
-Thank you, Lorna.
-Oh, you're welcome.

764
00:43:40,117 --> 00:43:42,369
-Okay, we'll talk later.
-Okay, bye-bye.

765
00:43:46,081 --> 00:43:47,458
I did it!

766
00:43:47,541 --> 00:43:50,336
I got a new client! Bam!

767
00:43:50,419 --> 00:43:53,505
See, you can single-handedly
keep this place up and running.

768
00:43:53,589 --> 00:43:55,799
Mm, I really can't, Cisco.

769
00:43:55,883 --> 00:43:58,927
I snagged one client, but I lost five.
We need Mickey back.

770
00:43:59,637 --> 00:44:00,846
Maybe this can help.

771
00:44:00,929 --> 00:44:02,890
Did the DA send it over?

772
00:44:02,973 --> 00:44:06,185
Yes, in between getting fired by clients,
I called Dana Berg's office.

773
00:44:06,268 --> 00:44:08,312
And you didn't have to file a motion?

774
00:44:09,021 --> 00:44:10,021
Look at that.

775
00:44:10,064 --> 00:44:13,901
Well, she grumbled until I mentioned
this trial that Maggie told me about.

776
00:44:13,984 --> 00:44:17,613
Turns out, Dana had a whole case
thrown out due to discovery shenanigans.

777
00:44:17,696 --> 00:44:19,365
And Maggie told you this?

778
00:44:19,448 --> 00:44:24,036
It's kind of an ex-wives thing
that you wouldn't really understand.

779
00:44:30,709 --> 00:44:33,128
So this is
the dashboard camera footage,

780
00:44:33,212 --> 00:44:34,588
and this

781
00:44:35,130 --> 00:44:38,175
is the body camera footage
synced together.

782
00:44:38,258 --> 00:44:42,137
Right now,
Collins is sitting in his squad car.

783
00:44:46,183 --> 00:44:48,060
Did you hear that?

784
00:44:49,144 --> 00:44:50,771
Sounds like he got a text message?

785
00:44:50,854 --> 00:44:54,149
Right, and then he moved
like he was picking up a phone.

786
00:44:54,942 --> 00:44:57,611
Now, here comes Mickey.

787
00:45:21,510 --> 00:45:23,262
So how does any of this help us?

788
00:45:23,345 --> 00:45:26,765
He saw the missing plates,
he pulled out, and he pulled Mickey over.

789
00:45:26,849 --> 00:45:27,850
Seems cut-and-dried.

790
00:45:27,933 --> 00:45:29,935
Were you looking
at the body camera footage

791
00:45:30,018 --> 00:45:31,812
or just the dashboard camera?

792
00:45:31,895 --> 00:45:34,106
You can't see anything
on the body camera footage

793
00:45:34,189 --> 00:45:35,566
until Collins gets out of the car.

794
00:45:36,525 --> 00:45:38,152
You can see one thing.

795
00:45:42,698 --> 00:45:43,698
Look.

796
00:45:47,786 --> 00:45:49,204
He put the car in drive.

797
00:45:49,288 --> 00:45:52,666
Before he ever saw
that Mickey's rear plate was missing.

798
00:45:52,750 --> 00:45:56,587
Holy shit. He didn't just randomly
pull Mickey over. He was waiting for him.

799
00:45:56,670 --> 00:45:59,173
And he got a text message
right beforehand,

800
00:45:59,256 --> 00:46:01,258
which means somebody
might've tipped him off

801
00:46:01,341 --> 00:46:04,511
that Mickey was about to come out.
The question is, who?

802
00:46:05,095 --> 00:46:06,138
And why?

803
00:46:17,107 --> 00:46:19,985
8724535.

804
00:46:20,068 --> 00:46:21,068
Here.

805
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,241
7445269.

806
00:46:26,325 --> 00:46:27,325
Here.

807
00:46:29,745 --> 00:46:32,122
6834485.

808
00:46:32,206 --> 00:46:33,206
Here.

809
00:46:36,126 --> 00:46:39,296
6162904.

810
00:46:39,379 --> 00:46:40,214
Yo.

811
00:46:42,925 --> 00:46:45,803
7113869.

812
00:46:46,303 --> 00:46:47,303
Here.

813
00:46:50,349 --> 00:46:53,435
7211956.

814
00:46:54,019 --> 00:46:55,019
Here.

815
00:47:01,443 --> 00:47:04,363
7841651.

816
00:47:04,446 --> 00:47:05,446
Here.

817
00:47:08,325 --> 00:47:11,036
6280254.

818
00:47:11,537 --> 00:47:12,538
Here.

819
00:47:14,790 --> 00:47:17,876
7301455.

820
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:18,836
Here.

821
00:47:21,797 --> 00:47:24,174
6432558.

822
00:47:25,676 --> 00:47:27,219
I'm the man with the axe.

823
00:47:28,303 --> 00:47:29,805
I'm the man with the axe.

824
00:47:30,722 --> 00:47:32,349
I'm the man with the axe.

825
00:47:33,225 --> 00:47:34,852
I'm the man with the axe.

826
00:47:35,686 --> 00:47:37,437
I'm the man with the axe.

827
00:47:38,146 --> 00:47:39,815
I'm the man with the axe.
