Previously on All Rise...

We can't all be perfect Lola

with the dream job
and the beautiful baby girl.

You see, I'm a psychic.

I'm looking for this job
as a court reporter

to supplement my income.

Don't talk about my mother.
You understand?

My brother is not a murderer.

Darius?

I'm the victim's advocate
assigned to this case.

A Chimera
refers to someone

who could be carrying two
totally different sets of D.N.A.

Those records
include that Mr. Brewer

received
a bone marrow transplant.

Watkins,
are you serious right now?

Council,
you are both out of order.

I want to see you
in my chambers. Now.

You never
should have introduced

this new medical information
without at least--

You have Carl's medical records,
same as me.

Well, it said nothing about
multiple D.N.A. markers.

And what is
this Chimeria crap?

- It sounds like--
- Chimera.

It sounds like science fiction.

And your own expert
just testified that it's not.

I'm not obligated to turn in
any more documentation.

It's impeachment evidence
for the people's expert.

Hey! You done?

Your Honor, I'm requesting that
Mr. Brewer's D.N.A. be retested

and that the people
be granted time

to analyze
and review this claim.

Your Honor, if this continues,

it will be a denial of due
process, a denial of fair trial,

and granting it
would be an interference

by the court
to help the prosecution.

Mr. Watkins,
I understand your position,

but given that this is
a very unusual circumstance,

I am going to grant the request.

Mr. Callan,
you have 48 hours.

Your Honor, it takes time to
run tests from multiple points:

blood, hair follicles,
the works.

We need to ensure that all known
samples of the defendant

are corroborated
not only with each other

but also with evidence
collected at the crime scene.

Then I suggest you hurry
because I've made my ruling.

So, what does all this mean?

Is he getting off because he has
two different sets of D.N.A.?

I really don't know.
I haven't heard of this before.

I'm not sure anyone has.

What happens now?

Well, look:
Mark Callan is a fighter,

and he will do
everything in his power

to get justice for your mom.
That I know.

Okay.

Why don't
you go down for some air

and I'll get us some coffee?

Hi!

Hey.

Oh, come here.
How're you holding up?

Thanks, friend.

This has been a very long,
very strange day.

But I got you
a little housewarming gift.

Oh, and you know
I'm a lavender girl.

I do.
So, how's the new apartment?

I just checked it out.
This building is amazing.

It's got a private gym,
it has a pool, a sauna,

an in-house movie theatre.

Okay,
I'm officially jealous.

I'm grabbing
the rest of my stuff

from my brother's tonight

and I will finally have
a peaceful place of my own.

- Well, it sounds amazing.
- Um, dinner this week?

- I'll bring the wine.
- Okay.

And thank you again
for my candle, I love it.

Of course.

Emily.
Edith.

Do you have a minute?
Yeah.

One of our attorneys
is in the middle of a case,

but her mother was
just rushed to the hospital.

I know this is unusual, but
could you take over her case?

It looks like she's going
to be out for a while.

Sure.

You're a lifesaver.
It's Gloria Hernandez.

Residential burglary.
Grand theft, gun possession.

She's a real peach.
You can handle a juvie case?

- Of course.
- Great.

Uh, the adjudication
starts tomorrow.

I owe you.

Juvie court. Hm.

They'll rerun your blood panel
and track down your donor.

Now, you and your sister
never met him, right?

No. They said
he wanted to be anonymous.

And all this time, I've been
thinking God sent me an angel.

And now it turns out
my angel could be a killer.

Carl,
their entire case

is based on
circumstantial evidence,

and we have a reasonable
explanation for all of it.

You know,
I used to listen to those,

uh, murder mystery podcasts.

You know the ones?

I thought it was entertaining.

Now I feel
like I'm living in one.

Hi.

Um, Emily Lopez
to see Gloria Hernandez?

Oh.
Thank you so much.

Gloria. Hi.
My name is Emily Lopez.

Your attorney has
a family emergency

so I will be
representing you now.

Can we, um,
can we talk for a few minutes?

I know this
whole experience must be scary,

but I just want to ask you
a few questions, okay?

Residential burglary,
grand theft and gun possession

are really serious charges,
did you know that?

You were seen on surveillance
entering a home in Pasadena

through an unlocked
dog door in broad daylight.

People should learn
to lock their shit up.

You were accused of trying
to steal $100,000 vase.

I didn't expect
a wireless sensor.

That was...
that was my bad.

Why would you want
to steal a vase?

It was a Shang Dynasty. Duh.

And you had a gun?

Okay, that was also my bad.

I just didn't mean
to bring it with me.

- But it's yours?
- Yeah, but I keep it unloaded.

It's just to...
scare off the pervs.

You do understand that
these are very serious charges?

You said that already.

Wow. Okay, well, uh,

if you would like
to throw your life away,

I guess that's your choice.

I'll get, like,
nine months and probation camp.

That's not my life.

You don't have to be
so dramatic about it.

There were people home
and you had a gun,

so... you could get
a lot longer.

Edith.

Oh, good.
I was hoping I'd catch you.

What happened?

I am no
child psychologist, okay?

And I get that
she has been through a lot

but I really don't think that

she cares at all
about her circumstances.

You know kids.

How could you call her
a peach?

I don't like peaches.
You have to see this.

What is this?

She filmed the burglary.

Hey.
Whew, a little quiet in here.

- Man, am I glad to see you.
- Yeah, I'll bet.

You know this whole building is
talking about your hybrid human.

Don't remind me, all right?

I'm trying to track down

the bone marrow donor
through the cancer center.

Good.
What else have you got on him?

Aside from his D.N.A.
on the victim?

Carl was seen at the restaurant
where she worked.

He lived in that neighborhood,
didn't he?

He also had the same
caliber gun, nine-millimeter,

although it was reported
stolen a few years prior.

Yeah, if he's clever,
he could still have it.

What about his neighbors,
his co-workers.

What are they saying about it?

Not much. Said he was quiet.
Kept to himself.

Any reluctant witnesses
we can persuade?

I'm still waiting
to hear back from a few,

but he basically just
hung out with his sister

and she's definitely
not talking to us.

Yeah, well, something's
got to stand out, you know?

Either about him,
about his past,

or about the day of the murder.

Tony, I've got
to be honest with you,

I am running out of rocks
to turn over, here.

Then we'll find
some boulders to move,

because if you set
a murderer free,

you will never forgive yourself.

Trust me.

It will haunt you
for the rest of your life.

Knock-knock.
I figured you hadn't eaten yet.

Oh, God,
I love you so much right now.

Thank you.

Sorry I missed dinner.
How's Rachel?

Oh, she's Rachel,
so, she's great.

She says hi.

Did she bring her usual storm
of chaotic energy?

Never leaves home without it.

Oh. Collier just
texted that my insurance

is finally covering
his new medication.

I can't believe
that took so long.

That is terrific.

I am so glad he's taken care of.

So, what's the latest
with the case?

Well, with Carl Brewer possibly
having two sets of D.N.A.,

we're scrambling.

Can't you get a blood sample
from before he had the surgery?

We tried.

The original lab shut down
almost ten years ago.

All the samples were lost.

So, what now?

The lead detective
is trying to track down

the bone marrow donor,
but since the lab closed

the records were transferred.
They could be anywhere.

Why don't we use the press
to help track this donor.

You might never
get the hospital records,

so you might as well
utilize the public.

No, it's just...
it's not me, Amy.

I don't want this to be more
of a circus than it already is.

Detectives are on it,
and once they find the donor

and where he was when
Brenda Fletcher disappeared,

we'll know who killed her.

Carl, or the donor.

Unless Carl isn't the
only person he donated to.

Okay, now, I don't want you
to be nervous, okay?

The trial is going
to break down like this--

It's not called a trial, here.
It's an adjudication.

Right.
That's what I meant.

There are going
to be a few witnesses.

The prosecution will introduce
all of their evidence.

Tomorrow
we'll appeal to the judge

for leniency during sentencing.

Disposition.

Yes.
During the disposition.

Yeah, I know.

You've done this before, right?

Yes, of course.

- Hello, Miss Lopez.
- Hello.

All rise.
Court is now in session.

Your Honorable Judge
Alister Khoo presiding.

Good morning.
Be seated.

Gloria Hernandez
is present with council.

The people are represented.

Well, Miss Gloria.

This is quite a step up
from your previous theft charge

and the trespassing charge
before that.

This is disappointing.
Very disappointing.

Okay, let's begin.

- Good morning.
- Morning.

Sherri,
before this trial,

had you ever heard of
someone having two D.N.A.'s?

No. Two personalities,
but not two D.N.A.'s, no.

Thank you.
Oh, you have that look.

I'm worried all this press is--

Is going
to affect the jury.

Do you want to sequester them?

These headlines
are keeping me up at night.

I can only imagine that
it's affecting them, too.

Oh, they are most affected.

Their energy is at times
chaotic and overwhelming.

You know what's keeping me up
at night?

Girl, really?
You love this stuff.

Oh, I do.
It's just she is too good.

You know the pregnant court
reporter on three?

Olani correctly predicted
the sex of that baby

and she knew that Ronnie

was going to propose
to his girlfriend today.

- So, what happened?
- Well, he hasn't proposed yet.

No, with you.

Oh, well,
let's just say she gave me

a reading
that hit too close to home.

Here is probation reports.

Don't forget you have lunch
with Rachel Audubon today.

Oh, she's just speaking
in her high voice,

which usually means--

Oh, that means
she's got juicy gossip.

You know it.

- Hey.
- Yes?

- I missed this.
- What?

Us.

Me too,
Your Honor.

Me too.

And can you identify
who's walking on the property?

The defendant.

You can see her walking
directly to the kitchen door.

When we lose sight of her,

that's when she went through
the dog door to enter the hall.

- Objection, foundation.
- Sustained. Lay a foundation.

You don't have
to keep standing.

How do you know it was the
defendant seen on this video?

We zoomed in
to make an identification.

Overruled.
Showing you people's five.

What is this photograph?

These images are thin,
rubber wheel marks

found on both
the kitchen and hall floor,

which match the skateboard
the defendant was caught with.

It's how she didn't set off
the motion sensors

which were set at four feet.

Objection, foundation.
Motion to strike.

He's not an expert
on wheel marks.

Sustained and stricken.

Miss Lopez,
you can keep your seat.

We're not formal here.

And if there
are no more questions

for this witness,
let's pick up here after lunch.

Callan, I need your help.

How many juvie cases
have you tried?

A few.
Early days. Why?

Will you teach me
everything you know, and fast?

They called you out on
terminology, didn't they?

"Adjudication,"
"aftercare," "intake."

And we don't stand
when we address the judge?

What happened here?

This is me going over
cold cases,

trying to think
outside the box,

which, as it turns out,
is not as easy as it sounds.

What the hell is going on?

It's all over the media.

Five different people
claiming they know

who the anonymous
bone marrow donor is.

Your Honor,
the people are requesting

a short continuance
so that we can investigate--

What? No! We will not
accept another delay.

This is a blatant violation
of due process

and my client's speedy trial rights.

We need to investigate
two new viable leads

regarding
the bone marrow donor.

Mr. Callan has not given good
cause for another continuance.

We will not sit around while
he investigates claims

from every
attention-hungry loon

claiming to know something
about the anonymous donor.

Okay.
Enough, you two.

Though I do believe
the people have established

good cause for a continuance,
Mr. Watkins is correct.

We need to move this along.

So, Mr. Callan, you
have 24 hours, but that is all.

Yes, Your Honor.
Thank you.

You are clearly smart,

with a surprisingly
strong grasp on juvie law.

But, Gloria,
you're just a kid.

You shouldn't be so carefree

about losing your freedom
for any amount of time.

It would be nice
to have something productive

to say at your sentencing.

I mean, your disposition.

Can you at least tell me
if someone put you up to it?

I mean, how would you
even know the vase was there,

and where would
you even sell it?

Okay, at least tell me why you
did it in the middle of the day.

Everyone is at work and school.

Right. That's...

Listen, I am really
sorry that your parents

passed away
in that car accident.

I really am.

You and your sister
were lucky to have survived it.

And I cannot imagine
how difficult

it's been for you
to be in foster care.

But at least you guys
are there together.

Gloria, your future matters.

No, it doesn't.
Hers does.

My sister is all that matters.
I'm good.

The new D.N.A. test came back

and you do have
two distinct marks.

So, now
we've got reasonable doubt.

That's right,
but, Mark Callan

is one of the best D.A.'s
in L.A. County,

so we need to be prepared
for anything and everything.

Now, I know
I keep asking you this,

but is there anyone who can
establish an alibi for you

the day Brenda Fletcher
reportedly went missing?

You're telling me the D.N.A.
ain't enough now?

I am trying to build
the strongest defense I can.

Man.

Okay,
you tell me something.

If they find the donor
and he's some richy rich

that can get a hotshot lawyer
to get him off,

what happens to me?
Huh?

I ain't got no alibi so I get
stuck holding the bag, right?

Don't the poor
always take the fall?

I could get screwed
no matter what.

Shoot.

Probably be better off
they never find him.

Powerful forces are around you.

They're guiding you
to another path.

Now you must stop resisting,
for this is your destiny.

What is?
What is my destiny?

All will be revealed in time.

But how much time?

When you're ready,
you'll know.

How did you know
I needed a giant cookie today?

Every day is better with
a giant cookie, come on now.

So, did
she tell you your future?

I guess so.

Honestly, I don't know.

After yesterday I thought
it might be a good idea

to get a reading, but--

Why, what happened?

While I was moving
my stuff out of Rachel's office

because she's
back in town this week,

I got a call
that I lost my new apartment.

Wow.
That's a lot. I'm sorry.

If you still need a place to
crash, the offer's still open.

Thank you,
I... I'll let you know.

How's your juvie case?

Not only did my 16-year-old
client livestream herself

stealing $100,000 vase
in the middle of the day,

and yes,
the metadata on the video

confirmed that it did
come from her phone,

but she was also caught
on surveillance breaking in.

So, literally, the only defense
that I have right now

is that she's a kid
that did a stupid thing.

So, they've got her
dead to rights.

All you can do
is convince the judge

that she has a future
worth saving.

She doesn't even think
she has a future worth saving.

How's it going
with you and Mark?

Judge Carmichael keeps granting

his every wish
like a fairy godmother.

I'm trying to connect with Carl,

but even with the good news,
he has no hope.

The guy has
been sitting in jail

while fighting for his life,
you know?

He's probably trying
to manage his expectations.

He's had a lot of people
fail him his entire life.

I just don't know if
he believes in anyone anymore.

Then make him believe in you
by giving him back his freedom.

She is getting so big.

She is growing so fast and
I feel like I'm missing it all.

When she's older,
she'll understand

that her mommy
was a very important person.

Besides, her daddy is perfectly
capable of changing a diaper.

He even potty-trained her.

Robin has been great.

I'm the one who's trying
not to be jealous

that he gets to be with her
all the time,

and that he never misses
a first.

Are you guys getting
a nanny,

or is Robin planning on

not going back
to work and this is it?

"It?"
What do you mean by "it?"

Raising our daughter
is no small feat.

It is a huge responsibility.

Girl, girl, girl, girl.
Don't get defensive.

I was suggesting
that you two find yourselves

some "oh" baby time.

Oh baby.
Where is that?

Turks and Caicos.

I took a "just because"
weekend getaway.

Wow.
This looks fabulous.

And if you haven't hired help,

ask Roxy to watch her
and just go.

Girl, you earned it.
You and Mr. Mom.

Two iced teas.

Thank you.
Maybe one day.

Hey, there is something
I want to talk to you about.

Don't sound so serious.
She making me nervous.

It's just, um,
I told you that André and I

were hanging out
a little bit in D.C.

Yeah, how is he?

He's great.

That's actually what
I wanted to talk to you about.

It-it's been
a few months now,

and things are-are-are
going really well.

- But?
- No but.

I just... it feels like
we're going to the next level

and I want to make sure
you're cool with it.

What?
Are you serious?

Dré is great,
and we were a thing,

like, a million years ago.

You two
were more than a thing.

I know.

But he is a wonderful man
and I am happy for you.

Honestly.

Lola.

Dré, she didn't tell me
that you were here.

Oh, my god,
what a surprise.

You look sensational.

Oh, thank you.

Come on, sit, sit, sit.

Please tell us
that you have good news.

Wasn't easy,
but we finally tracked down

where the medical records
have been transferred.

A Mr. Leonard Green
was Carl Brewer's

anonymous bone marrow donor
back in 1987.

The lab we ran both his and
Brewer's D.N.A. through CODIS

and they do have
a shared D.N.A. marker.

And according to the data bank,

Mr. Green only made
the one bone marrow donation.

Any other links?

He lived
in Brewer's neighborhood

where they held
the bone marrow drive,

and even frequented the bar
where your victim used to work.

Did you pick him up?

Unfortunately,
Mr. Green is no longer with us.

He died two months ago in a
house fire due to faulty wiring.

We did some asking around,
but it seems the guy

was a homebody who pretty
much kept to himself.

If he was the killer, any
evidence we would have collected

went up in flames with him.

- All right, thanks.
- Sorry it wasn't better news.

You know without
Carl's interrogation statements,

the gun,
and questionable D.N.A.,

I just don't see a strong
chance for conviction here.

Not with a Hail Mary.

But we can go through
this all again, all right?

Maybe something else will pop.

Tony, I can't shake
the feeling that

there is something more that
we are missing with Carl Brewer.

Yeah, but you know
we cannot convict on feelings.

I know, I know.

Look, I saw a glance
that he gave his sister

in court once,
and it was...

I mean, it was a moment,

but it made the hair on the
back of my neck stand up.

There was something
in the interrogation video

I wanted to show you.

It's not evidence,
but I think

it might help us understand
who Carl Brewer really is.

People with psychopathologies,
they share a certain tell.

They don't yawn
when other people yawn.

They lack a basic ability
to make empathetic connection.

Okay, I know it's a reach,

but I'm telling you there is
something wrong with this guy.

Yeah, well,
I'm with you there.

Guy certainly gives me a vibe.

But, we're going
to need more than yawns

and glances to put him away.

And it was my first time
clerking and I wanted to,

you know,
make a good impression,

but I was
so nervous around Judge Avery.

The man never smiled. Never.

But Lola hadn't been there
a full week as an intern

before she had the man
doubled over in laughter.

He was a teddy bear.

No, no,
you are a lion tamer.

You have a talent
for calming beasts.

Thank you.

Oh, please excuse me.
I've got to get this.

I'm so glad this isn't weird.

No, I am happy for you.

Thank you.
- Perfect.

Mark.

Found someone in the lobby
who was looking for you.

Mr. Callan.

Huh-mmm?

You've been trying
to reach me about Carl Brewer.

- Yeah?
- My name is Charlayne Addison.

16 years ago,
Carl Brewer tried to kill me.

I realized
if I don't speak up,

and he gets off,
I'd feel worse.

Charlayne,
in your previous statement

you said you first met
Mr. Brewer in 2006,

is that right?

I waitressed in a
little dive bar off Figueroa.

And he came in one night.

We talked a bit.

After my shift,
we had a few drinks,

and then he asked me if
I wanted to get some food.

Walking to his car,
that's when I started

to get a weird feeling
about him.

He touched my hair,
asked me if it was mine.

But it was the way he said it.

Then later we were leaning
against his car, kissing.

I glanced inside

and I saw a rope on the backseat
and gloves on the floor.

I tried to leave,
but he wouldn't let me.

He grabbed me by my throat,

and I just felt myself
blacking out,

and then all of a sudden
a car backfired

and it startled him,
and he loosened is grip

and that's when I shoved him
and I ran for my life.

I'm sorry, gentlemen,
I just need a minute.

Not at all.

Let me, uh, show you
where the restroom is.

Just down the hall to the left.

Brenda Fletcher
had rope burns on her wrist.

And she was a waitress.

Looks like
this creep has a type.

Maddy, thank you again
for being willing

to talk to the court
about your sister.

I know this must be scary.

You just want me to say

what a good sister she is
and stuff, right?

Yes, exactly.

We just want the judge
to understand that

she's a good person
who did a dumb thing.

Do you know why
she tried to steal that vase?

Maddy, your sister is up
on some very serious charges,

and if you tell me
why she did it,

it might help
with sentencing.

So, how long
have you been skating?

Since I was six.

Looks like I'll make it
to nationals this year.

What?

That's amazing.
Congratulations, that...

Your sister
must be so proud of you.

That's why she did it.

We saw the vase on some rich
influencer's social media post.

Gloria thought it would
be a good thing

to take for
a Tik Bait Challenge.

For a what?

People livestream
themselves doing stupid

or dangerous things for clicks.

The more clicks,
the more cash you get.

When Gloria livestreamed
the burglary,

we made enough money for me
to train and get to nationals.

She's not a bad person,
it was just a dumb game.

Right.

Um, I am so sorry.

Just excuse me
for one minute, okay?

Yeah.

Right. Okay.

It's time to go, Maddy.

Ready?

Good.

When our parents died,

the only thing I had left
was my sister and skating.

Our foster parents are nice, but
they can't afford my training.

So, we babysit,
dog sit, wash cars,

anything to get us some money.

Nationals is my big break,
but if I qualify,

we can't afford the entry fee,
travel, costumes.

She wasn't keeping it,
I swear.

She was just trying to help me.

Thank you, Maddy.

You may step down.

I can't believe you did that.

I did that to try
to get you out

in time to see her skate
at nationals.

Your Honor,
the only person in the world

who matters to Gloria
is Maddy.

They are all they have left,

and she was simply trying
to help her little sister

fulfill a dream.

Her intent
was never to hurt anyone.

She did not know that anyone was
home, and the gun was unloaded.

It was a Tik Bait Challenge,
a modern-day prank.

I beg of you, please consider
the child beyond the crime.

Mr. Blake?

The prosecution
rests on the evidence.

Gloria, is there
anything you wish to say?

Just that I know it was
a really stupid thing to do.

I'm sorry.

The youth are our future,
so we must treat them,

regardless of their
current maturity level,

with respect and patience.

In this case, however,
Miss Hernandez has squandered

two previous opportunities
to correct her behavior.

Understand this, young lady:

I'm presenting you
with your very last chance

to set yourself straight,
so don't blow it.

Your sister needs you.

I will allow Gloria Hernandez
to remain a dual-ward

and remand her for
six months of probation camp.

We are adjourned.

Nice working with you.

Well done.

Hey.
Could I ask a favor?

Yeah?

Could you keep
an eye on Maddy for me?

Yeah, absolutely.

Thanks.

All Rise.

Judge Lola Carmichael presiding.

You may be seated.

On the record,
people v. Carl Brewer,

parties are present
and represented,

and the jury is not present.
Mr. Callan.

Your Honor,
the people have 1101 evidence

on the issue of identity.

Wait, why am
I just now hearing about this?

She was on
the witness list, Mr. Watkins,

and her preliminary evidence
was in the discovery.

We have been given
no notice

that any potential
propensity evidence

would come in
during this trial.

Mr. Callan, have you turned
over any new statements?

This is unacceptable.
This calls for misconduct.

While I agree it's not ideal,

I will allow the people
to bring the witness in

and conduct a 402 hearing

outside the presence
of the jury.

It will allow Mr. Watkins

the opportunity
to cross-examine her.

Then I will decide if
she will testify during trial.

I told him I was tired
just to get out of there.

That's when he attacked me.

Miss Addison,
did you fear for your life?

I was sure
he was going to kill me.

Objection, relevance.
Motion to strike.

Sustained and stricken.

Thank you,
Miss Addison.

I know this wasn't easy for you.
Nothing further.

Cross-examination?

How many drinks
did you have that night?

Two. Maybe.

- Maybe three, maybe four?
- Maybe.

And were you feeling
the effects of the alcohol?

I guess so.

Now, you testified
that you were in an alley.

- Was the alley dark?
- Yes.

And you had never
seen the person that did this

- before that night?
- No.

So, your testimony is that
you were positive the person

you met 16 years ago,
at night, in a bar,

while feeling the effects
of alcohol was my client.

Yes, I know. It was him.
He was the one.

Do you have proof
or should we just trust you?

No, he was the one.

I know he was
the one who tried to kill me.

Your Honor, objection. Argumentative.

Sustained.
Mr. Watkins, ease up.

You want us to trust you,
so tell us...

did you testify that my
client drove a light blue Chevy?

Yes.

Marking
defense exhibit G.

A certified D.M.V.
registration record

showing that my client
never owned a blue Chevy.

Hi, how are you?
How're you doing?

You look great.

Muah, you too.

Come on, we just ordered
a delicious bottle of Bordeaux.

I hope you don't mind me
crashing ladies' night.

Not at all.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

We were just discussing
a mutual friend we have in D.C.

- You okay?
- Mm-hmm.

She's in the middle of
that murder case with Mark.

I should give her
the bottle with a straw.

Okay, well, you know what,
let's go find you a straw.

Girl,
I've known you too long.

What's wrong?

This is going to sound petty
and selfish and totally insane.

Come on.
Out with it.

Even though I said
I was okay with it...

I don't think I am.

Lo, do you still have feelings
for André?

Hey, sorry to interrupt,

but I have a nervous client
who needs some handholding.

Uh, Lola,
it was really great seeing you.

Oh.

Maybe we can catch up
next time I'm in town?

That would be great.

I will walk you out.

All right.

What's all this?

So, I got a bit sidelined
when Lola denied our request

to introduce
Charlayne's testimony at trial,

but then I remembered
something Charlayne said

when she was on the stand.
Um, okay, take it back.

Brenda Fletcher,
shot once in the head

and her body
dumped in the trash, right?

In Charlayne's testimony
she said that Carl

had a rope
in the back of his car.

There are rope burns
on Brenda's wrists.

Charlayne also mentioned
that Carl asked about her hair.

There's a lock of hair
missing from Brenda's head.

Which the coroner thought was
torn out during the struggle.

Yeah, but what
if it was intentional?

You know, I've been
going over cold cases all week.

These four black women,
they were all killed

in different neighborhoods
at different times,

but they were killed
the exact same way, Tony.

One shot to the head,

rope burns on their wrists,
bodies dumped in the trash

with a lock of hair missing
from their heads.

Jesus Christ, Mark.

You think we have
a serial killer on our hands.

I don't know yet, but
it's one hell of a coincidence.

We're going to have to pivot.

We're going to have
to ask the judge--

Tony, I'm out of continuances
and it'll take weeks.

We've got to investigate,

we've got to run D.N.A. tests,
get warrants--

Then you're going to have
to give the closing argument

of your career, otherwise,
this guy could walk free.

Okay. I believe we are to begin
here in closing arguments,

that is if we don't have any
additional requests or delays.

People are ready to proceed.

We are ready if you are,
Your Honor.

Then let's begin.

So, the facts in this case
may seem complicated,

but, in fact, they're pretty
simple when we break it down.

One: the defendant
was seen with the victim,

Mrs. Brenda Fletcher,
at her workplace

in the days preceding
her disappearance.

Two: the defendant
owned a nine-millimeter weapon,

the same caliber gun used
to end Miss Fletcher's life.

Three:
the defendant has no alibi

for the day in which
Brenda Fletcher went missing.

Four: the defendant
clearly has anger issues,

as we saw ourselves
in this very courtroom.

And five, and most importantly:
the defendant's D.N.A.

was found
on Brenda Fletcher's body.

Now, it is true
that the defendant

has two distinct
D.N.A. markers,

but that doesn't change
the fact that one of them

was found on the victim.

When you add this all up,
it is abundantly clear

that the defendant, Carl Brewer,
is guilty of murder.

Carl was seen in the same
South L.A. neighborhood

because that is where he lives.

That doesn't make him
a killer.

Carl spoke with Brenda

when she took his drink order
once or twice.

That doesn't make him a killer.

Carl once owned a gun.

And yes, he does,
at times, have a short temper.

Doesn't make him a killer.

This case is dripping
in reasonable doubt

because there is another man

that could be responsible
for Mrs. Fletcher's death.

When Carl was 20, he received
a life-saving transplant,

which, as it turns out,
left him with two sets of D.N.A.

Perhaps Carl's donor, another
man from the neighborhood,

had a motive because
Carl Brewer certainly does not.

And the people
have not proven

beyond reasonable doubt
that he did.

Why?

Because Carl Brewer
is not a killer.

Has the jury
reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

Thank you.

The people of the State of
California versus Carl Brewer,

we the jury
in the above-entitled case

find the defendant not guilty.

I know you were happy
with your new therapist,

but I'm always here for you,
too, okay?

Thanks, Sara.

I really appreciate you being
at my side this whole time.

I can't imagine
having to do this by myself.

Darius, I just wanted to tell
you I'm sorry for your loss.

If your guy didn't do it,

I'm not going to stop
until I find out who did.

♪ Where do we go?

Love does
not delight in evil,

but rejoices with the truth.

That's my mom's mantra.

- You ready?
- Yeah.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Good work, Watkins.

You too.

Okay, I don't want to know
my future,

but I do want to know
why someone from my past

has come back into my life.
Where's Olani?

She must have known that we were
feeling uneasy with her around,

that I was considering
transferring her

to another courtroom,

because she just left
her letter of resignation.

Damn.
The woman is good.

Shit.

Okay, seriously?

This has to be
our worst spot yet.

Yeah, I really miss the rooftop.

To think that this case has been
keeping you up at night, too.

You telling me
I look as bad as I feel?

Protesters marching outside the
courthouse every day were right.

There are so many women
of color that have been killed,

or disappeared,
and without money, resources--

Or just being
in the middle of a trial--

Or if they don't look
a certain way,

the media
just doesn't cover it.

I like to think that
the media is doing their best,

but you're right.

White victims get spot lit more
often than women of color do.

More often?

This woman's murderer
is still out there somewhere,

just like the countless victims

of unsolved,
uninvestigated crimes.

The only hope that
I have is that the media,

and law enforcement,
and everyone,

will start treating victims
of color,

and specifically black women,

with the respect
and the resources

and the urgency needed
to solve these crimes.

I did my best, Lo.

I know you did.

Can we just...
switch the subject?

How's my beautiful goddaughter?

Miss Bailey is amazing.
Her father is spiraling.

I found the long lens
on his camera

and he is glued
to that Citizen App.

It sounds like he's just, you
know, misses his mommy group.

I think he needs some guy time.

Beer, a game.

- Sure.
- Thank you.

Between him and Rachel--

Rachel? I missed dinner
with her and Amy,

but apparently Amy met her
hotshot D.C. attorney boyfriend.

I think he clerked
for the same judge

you used to intern
for in D.C. or--

Are you okay?

Yeah, fine. Cool.

What's happening to your face.
You're sweating.

Nothing's wrong with my face.

It's hot.
We're in a boiler room.

It's not that hot, Lo.

And the only time
I've seen you like this

is when you
used to talk about...

Holy shit!

André is your Dré!

Love-of-your-life
from college, Dré,

like Mr. Mighty Might-tay.

Mr. Watkins.

Thank you again
for all of your hard work.

You have been a blessing.

Just doing my job.

Be one second.

Hey.

My sister was right
to believe in you.

And, listen, I'm sorry
I gave you such a hard time,

you know, it's, uh,
it's been a lot to deal with.

I'm just glad
the truth came out.

Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices in the truth.

Well, thank you again, brother.
