Previously on "All Rise"...

Mark only kissed Rachel
because--Mark did what?

Grab your bag, leave.

-That looks like it hurts.
-Nah. I'm tough.

This is David Sanders,
strategist

for my attorney general
campaign.

That cop-hating attorney
is trying

to pit you against
your brothers.

You're either with us
or you're against us!

You are safe with me,
always.

Can't you curl the ribbon
any faster?

She'll be here
at any minute.

Each one
has to look perfect.

Uh-huh. ♪ Hey, hey

♪ Now's the time

Oh! You better pick up
the pace. Um...

Good morning,
Judge Carmichael. I'm behind.

It took a while to get Bailey
settled with the nanny.

First time doing it solo.

Aw. Has the defendant accepted
Choi's deal?

Not yet.
Trial's still on.

Day one,
and it's business as usual.

- Can't wait to see you.
-

And to get back to normal.
No fanfare, no fuss.

- Right, ladies?
-

What is--what is
your exact ETA, Your Honor?

Seven minutes, max.
Just turned on Broadway.

Uh, don't forget to park
in the new judges' lot, okay?

'Kay. Great. Bye!
Oh, gosh.

♪ Hey, I'm back

Ugh. Just pop 'em,
just pop 'em! Pop 'em!

♪ I'm back

You wanted to see me?

-You got a blazer on you?
-Y-yes.

Great.
I need a second chair.

I didn't know the head deputy
prosecutes trials.

Well, thanks to COVID,
I'm short on D.A.s.

Besides, felony swatting
is a big one.

Let's send them a clear
message that calling in

a false 9-1-1 threat
is a crime, not a prank.

It's Judge Carmichael's first
trial since maternity leave.

Ah, she's always had
a bleeding heart.

Curious to see
if our young defendant

makes it bleed even more.

Is there still an offer
on the table?

Yes, and if
Ms. Quinn's client

has any sense at all,
she'll take it.

-Ms. Quinn as in Amy Quinn?
-That's the one.

She tore me to shreds on
a motion to suppress last year.

Can't blame the shark
for nabbing the guppy.

No more guppies in
these waters, though, huh?

Well, we shall see.
Follow me.

Victim's in
the conference room.

Where is she?
It's been an hour.

The fact that
a sheriff deputy

agreed to talk at all
is a miracle.

Yeah, uh, Joaquin,
we need to talk about--

-Hey, Em.
-What's up, Lopez?

Sorry, guys,
I'm on a call.

Um ...aquin, I've been
calling you all day.

Is now an okay time to talk?

-Emily, you're scaring me.
-I kissed Luke.

I have been trying to
get ahold of you to tell you.

How did it happen?

He was going through
some stuff, and he--he--

he needed my help,
and we just--we just kissed.

Do you want to be
with Luke?

No.

I-I miss you.

Joaquin,
I miss you like crazy.

But Luke...
you know, it's just...

I'm so sorry.

I should go.

Oka--

Oh. What in the--

Carmichael!
So good to see you.

Lisa! Sorry, I was checking in
with the nanny.

Oh, weird to be away
from Bailey.

It's like having
phantom limb syndrome,

except the limb is my child.

Oh, I felt the same way
after having Ben.

All the gear!

Oh, so much mommy gear!

Yeah.
You'll adjust.

Glad to have you back,
Carmichael.

♪ Huzzah!

You guys.

Aw...

It's my first photo
with Bailey.

And it can go right next
to your hero.

Oh.

-
- Oh.

Shoot.
I thought I muted that.

Still no word
on the plea deal?

- Not a peep.
- Looks like Ms. Quinn has

her work cut out for her
-on this case.
-Whew.

Well,
it's caffeine o'clock.

Oh, shoot! I forgot my lattes
on top of my car.

- The car.
- On it.

Um...

- Sherri?
- Yes, Your Honor?

- I forgot my cooler.
- Your cool--your cooler?

- For my breast milk.
- Breast milk.

My liquid gold.

Liquid gold?
Right. Um...

Uh, have Ms. Johnson
cover my desk.

I will be on cooler duty.

-
- Um, right.

It's still not too late
to accept the D.A.'s offer.

I can't, Ms. Quinn.
I mean, what about college?

And I'll never be able
to get a job.

-This is so unfair.
-I'll try to argue
for a misdemeanor,

-but it's a long shot.
-My parents retained

Audubon & Associates
to make this go away.

The 9-1-1 call
and your browser history

aren't going anywhere.
You're facing three years.

What'll it be, Ms. Quinn?

Morning, Tommy, Ms. Powers.

- Ms. Powell.
- Huh. Doesn't ring a bell.

Quinn, I'm waiting.

You reject their deal, they'll
push for the highest sentence.

- Going once...
- I can't.

- Going twice...
- Please, help me, Ms. Quinn.

Gone. We'll do this
the hard way.

All rise.

Mr. Choi,
what was your last offer?

Plead to a felony.
Two years' probation,

credit time served.

Ms. Quinn, is your client
interested in the offer?

The defense is ready
for trial.

- Mr. Choi?
- The People are ready.

It's great to be back.

Captioned by
Los Angeles Distribution
and Broadcasting, Inc.

Mr. Heines, what is
your occupation?

Uh, I'm the dean
at Culver City College.

Did something unusual happen
on March 31, 2020?

Uh, an active shooter
was reported on campus.

A SWAT team responded
to the 9-1-1 call.

Did you interact
with the SWAT team?

Uh, yes. Um, I-I stepped out
to water my begonias,

and then suddenly something
like a dozen SWAT officers

trapped me,
shouting and pointing

-huge guns in my face.
-What happened after

you were surrounded
by the SWAT officers?

I, um, I heard a gunshot
and, um, screaming.

What happened after
you heard a gunshot?

I just remember that my stomach
was on fire, and I passed out.

A day later, I woke up
in the hospital,

14 stitches to patch
the bullet wound

and a cane to help me walk.

Did you have any idea
at the time

why the SWAT team showed up
at your residence?

Not the faintest clue.

And how did this incident
impact your campus?

All 1,600 students and faculty
had to be evacuated,

believing that the threat of

an active shooter
was imminent.

Nothing further.

Ms. Quinn,
you may cross-examine.

Did Marnie Forstall shoot you
on March 31st, Mr. Heines?

To my knowledge, no.

- Who pulled the trigger, then?
- Objection.

Calls for speculation,
lack of foundation,

lack of personal knowledge.
- He may answer if he knows.

I believe it was one
of the SWAT officers.

- So why did he shoot you?
- Objection.

Calls for speculation,
lack of foundation,

lack of personal knowledge.
- Sustained.

Rephrase, Ms. Quinn.

- Were you armed?
- No,

but I was holding
a watering can.

I guess it could've looked
like a weapon to the officers.

Do you think
these paramilitary officers

used excessive force
in shooting you, Mr. Heines?

Objection.
Relevance and argumentative.

Your Honor, the actions
of the SWAT officers

is relevant to whether
my client should've known

that the response
to the 9-1-1 call

was likely to cause
great bodily injury.

Overruled.

Mr. Heines, did you expect
the SWAT officers

to fire their weapons?

I was afraid they would.

But did you think it was
likely they would fire

and cause you to sustain
the injuries you sustained?

No.

No further questions.

Deputy Riley.
Pleasure to meet you.

Not often that I get asked
to meet off the record.

I'm curious what you know

about Wayne McCarthy's
training practices.

- Can't help you.
- We're just following a tip.

- Your name came up.
- I was a T.O.

along with McCarthy.
That's all you need to know.

All the guys on this list
were trained by McCarthy.

They're linked for some reason.
We need to know why.

Your name's on here.
What's your best guess?

If we knew,
we wouldn't be asking.

Pham was one of McCarthy's
first trainees. Real zealous.

Already put a call out
to him.

Buy him Wita's,
he'll sing like a bird.

Hmm.
Lee Lori's not on here.

- What can he tell us?
- Ask Lee Lori.

Have a good day, fellas.

What about Lori?

I know how
to get ahold of him.

Meantime, let's find
Deputy Pham.

Mom and Dad
still not coming?

Oh, uh--uh, no.

They said it's fine
to just start without them.

We're gonna beat this,
right?

Swatting's usually
a misdemeanor.

But your charge got bumped up
to a felony

because Norman Heines
got shot.

Now you've maintained you
didn't send SWAT to his house--

I wasn't
trying to get this old man shot.

What happened?
The truth this time.

I did make the call,

-but not to Mr. Heines.
-To who, then?

My boyfriend.
Or...my ex, or...

I don't even know
what he was.

- We met playing "Fortnite."
- What's his name?

Um, I-I don't know.

You dated him for two years,
and you don't know his name?

We planned to meet up
in person,

but...then he just blew me
-off, just like that.
-That still doesn't explain

how SWAT wound up
at Norman Heines's.

'Cause I swatted my ex's
gamertag, GrayArea54.

I just traced his IP address
to find his geolocation.

Tracing IP addresses
isn't always exact.

Why swat a guy
who ghosted you?

'Cause I was hurt.

And then I got pissed,
and--and then I got scared,

- Scared?
- I never met GrayArea54.

But we--
we shared photos.

What kind of photos?

Nudes.

He reached out to me
after a while,

asking for more pics.
I said no,

so he threatened
to post them.

You were trying
to protect yourself.

We need to talk.

Marnie, thank you
for telling me the truth.

Go home. Get some rest.

What do you want?
I don't have time--

I watched your cross.
You need to be careful.

I don't need you telling me
how to cross-examine a witness.

Clearly you do if you think
harping on police misconduct

in front of Lola is going
to help Marnie Forstall.

No, but finding out
who GrayArea54 is

and why Marnie felt
she needed to call a SWAT team

to stop him from
posting nudes of her will.

You think she's telling
the truth this time?

I'm becoming a bit
of an expert

on people lying to me
these days.

What was his name again?
I'll find him.

GrayArea54, right?
Give me two hours.

Sherri tasked me
with giving you this,

said it was temporary.
-

Anyway, Georgia and I
are going to

a breakfast mixer on Friday.
-Come with.
-Ooh.

The Hamilton Club
is hosting.

Mm. The bigwigs
and power players Hamilton Club?

Lisa--As I've said before,

can't hurt to rub elbows.
Besides, the Hamilton Club

knows a mover and shaker
when they see one.

Just a friendly reminder--

you do have to get up
at 6:30 a.m. to feed Bailey.

um, brief the nanny at 8 a.m.
before you leave,

and then get in at 9
to pump and run before trial.

Thank you, Ness.

Don't worry about
the breakfast.

You've got enough
going on.

I do not!
No more than usual.

Ooh.

This proves nothing.

Let me just go grab
a hoodie.

Good night, Carmichael.

What?
You did say no fanfare.

Ooh.

What's with the hoodie?

Oh, long story.
Why the SOS?

Luke and I are on the trail

to discovering a monster
of corruption.

- Like, Godzilla status? Or...
- More like a hydra.

Every time you cut off one head,
two more take its place.

Hydra in
the Sheriff's Department.

In sheriff training.
You surprised?

-Not even.
-Amy's in 802.
How is she?

Why don't you call her
and ask her?

After she kicked me out
for the second time,

I figured I'd give her
some space.

Amy tried to use
excessive use of force

as a defense today.
Do you think that she would

use that with Judge Campbell
or Laski?

Your reputation as being an
activist judge and that video--

Gives people the right
to politicize my courtroom?

Of course not.

How goes day one back?

Hectic. Felt like I was pulled
in five different directions

between the trial and Bailey
and the Hamilton Club, but...

in a good way.

I guess it's nice to still
feel needed here.

Don't know what
this courthouse would do

without you, Carmichael.

You're just trying
to butter me up so I don't

kick you out
of my guest house.

You think I want to be
in your damn guest house?

Who's Collier Owens?

- What'd you say?
- Collier Owens.

Left two messages here.

You're dodging him...
and me.

Still waiting
for that apology.

You have a right
to be pissed.

Of all the ways I messed up

over that stupid,
idiotic kiss,

risking our partnership
was the worst.

For you. I told you
my deepest secret,

that I'm married, because
I needed help from someone

who I thought was becoming
a really good friend.

I finally put down roots again,
and it just

goes up in flames.

Now if you'll excuse me,
I have work to do.

I located GrayArea54.

We need to get Marnie
in here now.

How'd Joaquin take the news?

He shut down.
Super blindsided.

-Mm, can you blame him?
-No!

Why am I so stuck?

Are you stuck?
Like, truly?

Yeah,
I care for both of them.

You know?
And trying to choose,

I feel like I just...
I can't.

Are you sure that's it?

- What do you mean?
- To me, this isn't about

whether you prefer lawyers
or revolutionaries.

I'm sure they're both good men,
but they're leading

two radically
different lives.

So you choosing Luke
or Joaquin means choosing

where you want
your life to go.

Oh! Nikki just sent
her latest essay.

How's tutoring going?

Mm, we hit it off
at first,

but I don't know, lately
Nikki's seemed, like, off.

- Off how?
- Just tired, melancholy even.

Like, I made this whole
K-pop-themed lesson.

And she didn't bat an eye,
-and she loves BTS.
-Huh.

And then last week,
I overheard her mom, Whitney,

like, lecturing Nikki
about her grades,

and let's just say Whitney

doesn't have
the gentlest touch.

You think Whitney's
-hit a rough patch?
-Oh, totally.

I mean, her restaurant's
been shuttered,

they've been trapped
under one roof for over a year.

And Nikki is in middle school,
and puberty is a bee-yotch.

Oh, yeah, I had feathered bangs
in sixth grade.

-Wow.
-Yeah. Ah, maybe I'm just
overthinking it with Nikki.

Your intuition has never
steered you wrong.

Just...feel it out.

Pot, kettle, Ms. Lopez.

- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Marnie...

we were able to identify
GrayArea54.

You were? Who is he?

Norman Heines.

What?
The Culver City College dean?

No.
No, that's impossible.

I wasn't lying, Ms. Quinn--My investigator
was able to trace

the gamertag GrayArea54

to Norman Heines's
IP address.

Yeah, but even
you said yourself,

IP address location tracking
-isn't always reliable.
-Not always,

which is why I had 'em do
an extensive search.

It still came back
as Norman Heines.

Marnie, you didn't mix up
your ex's address

with Heines's address.

They're the same person.

He catfished me?
The whole time?

- Oh, my God.
- You should call your parents.

Are you kidding?!
I can't do that.

-They would never understand!
-Marnie, you need support.

And we still have a trial
to get through.

-W-where are you going?
-To talk to the judge.

I'm bringing
this bastard down.

Thanks for meeting
on such short notice.

Thanks for buying
the carne asada.

Hey, you called it. Wita's
is the best taco truck in LA.

Right? I know
all the hidden gems.

So how can I
help you fellas?

Looking to set
the record straight

on Wayne McCarthy's time
as a T.O.

Big Mick always checked in
on me and the guys.

Gave advice
like a father figure.

He even came to support me
after my first incident.

What incident was this?

Had this one inmate,
a real pill.

Always loudmouthing.

One day I told him
I'd heard enough.

He didn't like that,
got aggressive.

I put him in a chokehold--

standard when subduing
an armed assailant.

He coded.

So the inmate was armed?

McCarthy oversaw
the search,

found a shiv on him,
concealed.

You saw the inmate's shiv
-before you choked him?
-I had a hunch.

And once McCarthy confirmed,
it was a done deal.

When--when did you
say this was?

2010 or so.

All right, boys.
Gotta get back on the radio.

We'll be in touch.

Always glad to put in
a good word for Big Mick.

A deputy sheriff
openly admits

to falsifying
police documents

like he knows
he's untouchable.

Chokes a man to death,
and then "Big Mick"

helps him get off scot-free.
Why wouldn't he feel that way?

I'm gonna meet up
with Lori tonight,

see if he can
connect some dots.

I'm gonna hunt down
that incident report,

try to nail this guy.

The defense calls
Norman Heines to the stand.

-
- He's here and ready.

The defense already questioned
Norman Heines.

And the witness
was excused.

- He was subject to recall.
- Ms. Quinn is correct.

Your--Your Honor, may I ask
for an offer of proof

as to why this witness
is being recalled?

I have additional questions
about the extent

of his involvement
-in video games.
-Real convincing, Ms. Quinn.

I allow the defense
some leeway on this topic,

but I am going to need
more than that, Ms. Quinn.

I have additional questions
that I believe

will impeach
Mr. Heines's testimony.

All right, you may recall
the witness, Ms. Quinn.

Do you know
Marnie Forstall?

No, I do not.

Do you know
what a gamertag is?

Uh, an alter ego
in the Xbox world?

A username of sorts?

Mr. Heines,
are you familiar with

the gamertag GrayArea54?

- No.
- Are you sure, Mr. Heines?

Yes.

I-I mean,
now that I think about it,

it does sound familiar.

In fact GrayArea54 is
your gamertag, correct?

Uh ...mean, um...

yes.

And you recently shut down
the account GrayArea54

and tried to delete it,
correct?

Uh, I was shot, Ms. Quinn.

I am not the one
on trial here.

Mr. Heines,
for the past two years,

did you pose as
Marnie Forstall's boyfriend

and knowingly solicit
pornographic images

from her, when she was a minor?
-

I am the victim here,
Your Honor.

Ms. Quinn, the witness
has a right to counsel.

That is my daughter!

Bailiff, detain the witness.

He has not been excused
-from further testimony.
-Daddy!

You filthy pig!
I'll kill you!

-Daddy, don't! Don't!
-Mr. Forstall, I'll have you
arrested and charged

if you do not control yourself.
- Calm down.

Now everyone
except counsel, out!

Let's go.

Keep it moving.

Ms. Quinn, you know better

than to lead a witness

down the path of admitting
to a crime

on the stand without first
informing the Court,

that the witness
-may need a lawyer.
-Your Honor,

it's not my job to protect
anyone other than Ms. Forestall.

At minimum, it is
a professional courtesy

to give the Court notice.

Your Honor,
the People move to strike

Mr. Heines's testimony.

It was a discovery violation.

No, this is
classic impeachment!

I had no obligation
to disclose.

Until she decided to call him
as a witness.

I didn't know whether
he would admit it.

I learned it
from my investigator.

Do you have evidence
to prove it, Ms. Quinn?

Chat transcripts
dating back two years,

complete with
every explicit image

Heines sent to
and solicited from Marnie.

-Thank you.
-I move to admit these
transcripts into evidence.

-On what grounds?
-Heines solicited pornographic
images and threatened her!

She was a minor,
and she was traumatized.

Her actions--Her actions are still criminal.

How about you
drop the charges?

The charges remain.
Your Honor--

If he had no preyed upon
Ms. Forstall

and exploited her, she never
would have made that call.

Enough. I will hear
your motions tomorrow,

and, Ms. Quinn,
this is your final warning.

Let today be the last stunt
you ever pull in my courtroom.

You lied under oath.

Your alleged crimes
hijacked this entire trial!

Threatening to deny
an entire university of victims

the justice they deserve.
- But that attorney came at me.

Get a defense attorney, Heines.
We're done here.

Sir, if I may?

-What is it, Ms. Powell?
-In light of
this new evidence

regarding Ms. Forstall's
relationship with Mr. Heines,

continuing to pursue a felony
conviction seems troubling.

Ms. Forstall
has been charged

with calling in
a false 9-1-1 emergency.

The evidence points
-straight to her.
-Given this new information--

Ms. Powell, the allegations
against Norman Heines

are as yet unproven,
but the D.A. has all we need

to hold Ms. Forstall
accountable.

But if we--We can discuss this
further after the trial.

Understood.

Been a long time, Lori.

Six years since we worked
Men's Central Jail.

Yeah.

I don't know if you heard,
but I'm not a sheriff anymore.

Look, man, I'm not so sure
talking to a D.A.'s a good idea.

Serve and protect the public--
that's what we swore to do.

Our job's not done,
not yet.

You mind if I record this?

Not like it'll make
a difference.

What do you know
about McCarthy fabricating

witness statements,
police records?

Happened all the time.

McCarthy would do a clean-up
for any trainee

who got caught
in the hot seat.

- Okay, what for?
- Aw, man, you name it.

Intimidating personnel,
roughhousing rookies,

instigating inmate disputes.

But why didn't I ever
hear about this?

Is that a trick question?

Watkins, you signed
a statement for McCarthy

when we were fresh out
of the academy.

You don't remember?

Sorry, man.

Nikki!

This was
your strongest essay yet.

Hey, wait, just one question.

Since Super Stacy
saved the day,

why did you write that
she has no hope left?

Um, even though
she does everything right,

it's still not good enough.

What makes you say that,
Nikki?

Nikki!

I am not paying for you to write
like you're in kindergarten!

Sorry. Sara, I have to go.

Oh...

You are such
a stupid waste of space.

I'm ashamed to even
be your mother.

You are
just driving me crazy!

thud, scuffling ]
Nikki?

Um, Mrs. Gessner,
is everything all right?

Nikki?

Sara? Wh--

Whitney and Nikki just
got into it, and I--

I heard a loud thud
-and then just silence.
-What was it?

I don't know, it was like--
I don't know, like a bang.

Okay.
Did Whitney hit Nikki?

I couldn't see anything. I--

-Oh, my God, what do I do?
-Well, call Nikki back
and make sure she's okay.

Well, what if she
-doesn't answer?
-Then you call the police.

And say what?

"I'd like to file a report,
only I didn't see anything,

and I'm not sure what I heard"?
I mean...it's a big deal

to call Child Services
to someone's house.

We've only tutored online.

I don't even know
where she lives.

Maybe you should reach out
to Benner.

If I'm wrong, I could
implode this whole family.

But what if you're right?

Fancy seeing you here, Judge.

Mr. Sanders.
I would love to chat,

but I'm in a rush.

Wait, how did you get
into the judges' parking?

Walked over
with Jonas Laski.

Just left
the Hamilton Club breakfast.

Totally forgot.

Anyway, I am
in a rush to trial, so...

Could've gotten a jump
on the upcoming election.

The election?

- For your judicial seat.
- I beg your pardon.

My seat has not been challenged,
-Mr. Sanders.
-Not yet.

You created quite a stir
in your first two years.

Some people like me
are fans.

Others, well--

Carmichael, there you are.

Still on for
our chambers meeting?

Yes. Mr. Sanders and I
were just saying goodbye.

Oh, great. Good to see you
at the breakfast, David.

Who does that man
think he is?

The last thing I need
added to my plate

is worrying
-about the elections.
-Well, Sanders can be pushy,

but he's always armed
with priceless information.

I missed you
at the breakfast.

I was hoping
to introduce you to Georgia.

I know. I'm sorry,

but I have had whiplash
with this trial.

I heard about
your witness bolting.

I thought I had my head
wrapped around this case,

but then I see
that teenage girl

trembling before the man who
allegedly abused her for years,

and I look at her mother,

and she just has
this look like

she has no clue
how in the world she got there.

Any parent's nightmare.

But how does it happen,
Lisa?

You can only control
so much.

I look at Bailey, and--Carmichael, at the risk
of stating the obvious,

Bailey is not the defendant
in this case.

She's not
even 8 months old.

But I would do anything
to protect her.

Stay focused.

Watkins,
-everything all right?
-Uh, yeah.

There's over a dozen fabricated
deputy statements here.

Gonna be a long road to get
the grand jury

to indict these guys.
- Indicted, right.

I'll take those over
to Bravo,

see if he approves
conspiracy charges.

- You sure you're good?
- Yeah, of course. Just tired.

All right.

Ms. Quinn, you are moving
to admit the chat transcripts

between your client
and GrayArea54,

AKA Mr. Heines.
What's the relevance?

The evidence directly impeaches
Mr. Heines' testimony,

And it explains why
Ms. Forstall called 9-1-1.

She was the victim

of an illegal cybersexual
relationship with Mr. Heines

while she was a minor.

Do you remember what it means
to be 18 and profoundly lonely?

To finally have someone
tell you they love you

and to so badly need
to believe them?

And then the pain of losing
that love, that lifeline.

At 18 years old, Marnie lacks
the developmental ability

to understand the seriousness
of her actions.

For all these reasons,
the transcripts are relevant,

and they should be admitted
as evidence.

Thank you, Ms. Quinn.
Mr. Choi.

The defendant's alleged history
of sexual trauma is tragic,

but it in no way excuses
her crimes.

Penal code 148.3 states
that it is a crime

to make a false report
of an emergency

At 18 years old,
I believe the defendant knows

gunfire on
a public college campus

is a very bad thing.

She launched
an emergency evacuation

under false pretenses
that jeopardized lives.

Any probative value that
the transcripts might have

is substantially outweighed

by the risk
of undue prejudice

and should be excluded
under 352.

I feel profound empathy

for the trauma Ms. Forstall
has suffered.

But this trial is not about
those alleged crimes.

Therefore I am excluding
the chat transcripts.

I will hear closing arguments
after the break,

and then render my verdict.

Looking at Bailey
on the nanny cam,

and all I can think is...

we did good.

I love you, baby.
See you soon.

Come in.

Luke.

Talk to me.

What is this?

A witness statement I gave
when I was working the jails.

I don't understand.

I didn't witness that incident,
Judge Carmichael.

Oh. Luke.

My training officer told me
that's what happened.

I trusted him.

Did you intentionally falsify
this police record?

No, but it's right there in
black and white. Case closed.

No. Only a judge or a jury
can decide that.

But I did it.
Facts are facts.

And the facts

of a person's circumstances
cannot be overlooked,

especially when a human being's
freedom is at stake.

But you and I both know
the law's not designed

to account
for 360-degree examination.

And that is exactly why
we have to interpret the law

with as complete a picture
as possible.

Luke...people commit crimes
every day

for all sorts of reasons.

And in a truly just
court of law,

those reasons matter.

Come in.

Sara!

Something wrong?

Um...it's, uh, about
Whitney and Nikki.

Go on.

Last night I heard them
get into an...altercation.

And it sounded serious,

and now I'm scared
for Nikki's safety.

What? I--

I've known
Whitney for years.

That...

Precisely what do you think
you saw, Ms. Castillo?

Well, I saw Whitney come in
and start yelling,

and then Nikki turned
her camera off.

So you saw a mother
disciplining her daughter.

Is that all?

There was a...
thud.

Thud.

You know, maybe...
You're right.

It's--
it's not what I thought.

I'm sorry I disturbed you.

Ms. Castillo, Sara, hold on.

I understand that we make
mistakes when we're young,

but that is no excuse
for sending a SWAT team

to a false emergency.

Such behavior is illegal
and absolutely unacceptable.

The prosecution failed
to prove that Ms. Forstall

called 9-1-1 intending
to cause great bodily injury.

Thus, I find Ms. Forstall
not guilty

of felony swatting.
-

The People did, however,
prove the lesser charge.

Ms. Forstall, I find you guilty
of misdemeanor swatting.

You are placed on
12 months' probation,

during which time you must
attend mental health counseling

and repay the full cost
of the emergency response.

Last, you must write
and publish

a formal letter of apology
to Culver City College.

Before I close this case,
Ms. Forstall,

is there anything you wish
to say to the Court?

Stand up. It's okay.

This past
year has been really hard,

with--with barely anyone
to talk to.

No hugs. N-No nothing.

It felt really special to have
something all to myself,

and for me,
GrayArea54 was real.

And I loved him.

So when it was taken away,
it just felt

like he took the rest
of my world away with him.

I was lost.

My hope for you is that

now that you know the truth,
you can heal...

...and that your parents
will remain

close by your side
-while you do.
-We will, Your Honor.

Court is adjourned.

Go.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I'm glad you texted me.

I can't stop thinking
about our kiss.

Hmm. I guess it's not
just me.

No. And I told
Joaquin about us.

I like that there's an us.

There is a me and you,

and there's a me and him,
kind of, us.

Oh. And what did he say?

That's TBD.

Look, I'm not asking you
to wait,

and I don't expect you
to understand.

I am just--I just want
-to be real with you both.
-Emily...

I love you.

And I know that
those three little words

bring up complicated feelings,

but they're real for me.

Listen, advocating for
a child's safety is never wrong.

- You are not wrong.
- I'm just nervous that--

No, no, no.
Don't be nervous.

I have an amazing officer
coming to talk to you.

Just tell them
what you observed.

They'll write a report,
and they'll take it from there.

Just thank you both
for this,

for being here,
this is just a lot.

Where else would we be?

- Sherri.
- Thanks for coming.

Wait, Detective Harris is
the amazing officer

who's helping me out?
- That's right.

Um, we will be
in Lola's chambers

Okay, let's do this.

You and me, right here,
right now.

No. You don't get
to do this.

- Do what?
- Kiss my boyfriend

and then decide we're
doing this on your terms.

Look, I screwed up.
Okay? Royally.

And I know it's gonna
take a minute--

- More than a minute.
- A-A few minutes.

What I don't understand
is why.

I regretted it
the moment it happened.

And I admit, it was
a petty move, going to New York,

but you and Mark
are good together.

Better than good,
you're the best thing that--

Okay, now you're going
overboard.

And you and I have
a good partnership, too, Amy.

I would hate to see you
throw it all away--

- Equal partners.
- I--I'm sorry, what?

You want this to work,
we become equal partners.

Oh...

...'kay. Y-yes.
Let's do it.

I'm still mad at you,
but it's a good start.

And when this pandemic
is officially over,

you and me got a date
in the boxing ring.

Whitney and I have been
friends for years,

but...

when I saw the fear
in Sara's eyes,

I have to do something.

Maybe there's something
no one knows,

some context to help you
understand.

Yeah.
Yeah, thanks.

Time to go
feed my baby girl.

Such a great age.

And then
there's high school.

Oh, Bailey can't even walk,

and I'm struggling
to find the balance.

Uh, a little
unsolicited advice?

- Please.
- Compartmentalize.

When you're at work,
be present at work,

and when you get home,
check your gavel at the door

and just be Bailey's mom.

That sounds like
a great place to start.

Ames.
You finally came.

Let go. Let go of me!

I want to see your face.

Brought you something.

What's that?

Collier, I've fallen
in love with someone.

I'm going to have
to tell him about us.

So you told Lopez
you loved her.

Hmm. Yep.

She's the one.
I'm gonna fight for her.

Hey, bravo, Romeo. Just don't go
puppy-dogging after her again.

Hey, you should be
puppy-dogging after Amy.

You're not wrong.

- What's this?
- 13 counts of conspiracy

to be filed
against McCarthy.

Just hope Bravo gives us
the green light.

Then we bring
his whole corrupt scheme

crashing to the ground.

Bro, I thought
you'd be pumped.

I am, just...processing.
Cheers.

Bottoms up.
