1
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:07,149
- You're the DA?
- [Andrea] Yeah.
2
00:00:07,173 --> 00:00:09,860
I'd think twice about doing this case,
too, if I were you.
3
00:00:09,884 --> 00:00:12,321
I've beat you so many times.
I've lost count.
4
00:00:12,345 --> 00:00:14,532
[Mickey] Bondurant was bleeding money
from The Terrazzo,
5
00:00:14,556 --> 00:00:16,909
and he wanted Alex Grant
to share the burden.
6
00:00:16,933 --> 00:00:17,910
We found a straw man.
7
00:00:17,934 --> 00:00:20,788
Now, Mr. Grant,
would you care to explain to the court
8
00:00:20,812 --> 00:00:23,273
what suspicious activity
Mr. Bondurant was alluding to?
9
00:00:24,482 --> 00:00:26,961
It's possible Grant
will plead the Fifth rather than risk it.
10
00:00:26,985 --> 00:00:28,212
And what if he does?
11
00:00:28,236 --> 00:00:31,340
Can't lose him before the trial starts.
I need him in front of a jury.
12
00:00:31,364 --> 00:00:34,844
You're gambling this entire case
on Alex Grant not taking the Fifth?
13
00:00:34,868 --> 00:00:35,886
Are you insane?
14
00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:39,807
One email may have been enough
to goad Mr. Grant into testifying.
15
00:00:39,831 --> 00:00:42,977
It is not enough
to prove he is relevant to this case.
16
00:00:43,001 --> 00:00:45,438
Remember I said the police
confiscated Lisa's toolkit?
17
00:00:45,462 --> 00:00:49,108
Supposed to have 150 pieces,
but it only has 149.
18
00:00:49,132 --> 00:00:50,443
Wanna guess which one's missing?
19
00:00:50,467 --> 00:00:53,320
The prosecution has come into possession
of a new piece of evidence.
20
00:00:53,344 --> 00:00:54,637
The murder weapon.
21
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,617
Mr. Kim, is this the photo you took
of the protest on that date?
22
00:00:58,641 --> 00:00:59,642
Yes, it is.
23
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:04,123
René?
24
00:01:04,147 --> 00:01:08,127
In the recordings, did the defendant
ever discuss her specific plans
25
00:01:08,151 --> 00:01:10,421
to stop Mr. Bondurant's development?
26
00:01:10,445 --> 00:01:11,338
Yes.
27
00:01:11,362 --> 00:01:13,174
[Lisa] We learned everything about him.
28
00:01:13,198 --> 00:01:16,117
Where he parked his sports car
in his garage.
29
00:01:17,368 --> 00:01:18,554
I have to take a risk.
30
00:01:18,578 --> 00:01:22,224
This isn't a risk, Mickey. It's like
the rules don't apply to you anymore.
31
00:01:22,248 --> 00:01:25,102
[judge] Mr. Haller, are you ready
to call your first witness?
32
00:01:25,126 --> 00:01:28,564
I am, Your Honor. The defense
calls Lisa Trammell to the stand.
33
00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:30,799
[dramatic music playing]
34
00:01:43,353 --> 00:01:45,664
Mickey, wh... what are you doing?
35
00:01:45,688 --> 00:01:46,707
Not here.
36
00:01:46,731 --> 00:01:48,900
[tense music playing]
37
00:01:49,609 --> 00:01:50,610
[Lisa exhales]
38
00:01:52,529 --> 00:01:54,340
You said you weren't going to call me.
39
00:01:54,364 --> 00:01:57,009
I know, but it's Friday afternoon, Lisa.
40
00:01:57,033 --> 00:01:59,720
I can't let Dahl's podcast be
the last thing the jury hears
41
00:01:59,744 --> 00:02:00,763
before the weekend.
42
00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:01,972
We've gotta strike back.
43
00:02:01,996 --> 00:02:05,226
Okay, but what if I screw up
or say the wrong thing? I mean...
44
00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:10,088
Just tell the truth, okay?
Let them see you the way I see you.
45
00:02:11,422 --> 00:02:12,465
You can do this.
46
00:02:16,052 --> 00:02:19,573
Ms. Trammell, can you tell the jury
what you do for a living?
47
00:02:19,597 --> 00:02:20,807
Um, I'm a chef.
48
00:02:21,724 --> 00:02:25,454
And I own a restaurant
called Elysian in Frogtown.
49
00:02:25,478 --> 00:02:27,790
We've been there for about 11 years.
50
00:02:27,814 --> 00:02:32,461
Eleven years. That's... That's a long time.
You must really love what you do.
51
00:02:32,485 --> 00:02:36,865
Oh, it was my dream all my life.
I grew up in that neighborhood.
52
00:02:37,448 --> 00:02:42,263
My father bought the building
for next to nothing. He made cabinets.
53
00:02:42,287 --> 00:02:46,457
So he ran a shop on one side
and raised a family on the other.
54
00:02:47,041 --> 00:02:48,727
I wanted to do the same thing.
55
00:02:48,751 --> 00:02:49,895
You live there as well?
56
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,022
Yes, it's my home.
57
00:02:52,046 --> 00:02:55,609
That's why I didn't want to sell it
to Mitchell Bondurant or to anyone.
58
00:02:55,633 --> 00:02:57,486
My whole life is in that building.
59
00:02:57,510 --> 00:03:01,073
When you told Mr. Bondurant
that you wouldn't sell, what happened?
60
00:03:01,097 --> 00:03:03,641
Oh, that's when the real torture started.
61
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:09,748
Bulldozers at 6:00 a.m.,
and construction dust at happy hour.
62
00:03:09,772 --> 00:03:13,586
- He did everything to run me out of there.
- Objection, narrative.
63
00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:16,088
The witness will only answer
the questions asked.
64
00:03:16,112 --> 00:03:17,715
[Mickey] It's okay, Ms. Trammell.
65
00:03:17,739 --> 00:03:21,343
Yesterday, we heard
from your neighbor, Valerie Stern,
66
00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:24,430
about your relationship
with your former husband.
67
00:03:24,454 --> 00:03:27,582
Can you tell us why
you and your husband separated?
68
00:03:28,374 --> 00:03:30,835
I'm not the easiest person to live with.
69
00:03:32,295 --> 00:03:34,064
I mean, I can be stubborn.
70
00:03:34,088 --> 00:03:38,694
And when I want something,
I want it with all my heart.
71
00:03:38,718 --> 00:03:42,281
And I had a dream
that I wasn't willing to let go of,
72
00:03:42,305 --> 00:03:45,784
and Jeff, my ex, he had other ideas.
73
00:03:45,808 --> 00:03:47,310
So we just grew apart.
74
00:03:47,810 --> 00:03:49,872
Did growing apart lead to fights?
75
00:03:49,896 --> 00:03:51,332
[Lisa] Yeah. Of course we fought.
76
00:03:51,356 --> 00:03:55,526
But no more than any other couple,
and there was never any violence.
77
00:03:56,819 --> 00:04:00,925
[Mickey] Now, I'd like to talk about
the podcast interview we heard.
78
00:04:00,949 --> 00:04:04,929
You seemed pretty fired up.
Is that fair to say?
79
00:04:04,953 --> 00:04:06,430
Uh, I guess.
80
00:04:06,454 --> 00:04:09,516
[hesitates] But that was the seventh take,
I think.
81
00:04:09,540 --> 00:04:11,518
Seven? Well, why so many?
82
00:04:11,542 --> 00:04:14,730
Well, Henry kept saying
that I didn't sound passionate enough
83
00:04:14,754 --> 00:04:17,191
and that he needed "the sound bite."
84
00:04:17,215 --> 00:04:20,277
So, Mr. Dahl was pushing you
to sound more dramatic?
85
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:21,654
[Lisa] That's what it felt like.
86
00:04:21,678 --> 00:04:25,765
Is it true, then, what you said to him
about your tactics against Bondurant?
87
00:04:26,724 --> 00:04:29,286
Yes, more or less.
88
00:04:29,310 --> 00:04:32,873
Including your knowledge
of where Mr. Bondurant parked his car?
89
00:04:32,897 --> 00:04:34,375
- [gallery murmurs]
- Yes.
90
00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:35,960
Why did you tell Detective O'Brien
91
00:04:35,984 --> 00:04:38,671
you've never been
inside Mr. Bondurant's parking garage?
92
00:04:38,695 --> 00:04:40,422
[Lisa] Because I haven't been.
93
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:45,010
There's this photo of Mitchell Bondurant
posed next to his car in some magazine.
94
00:04:45,034 --> 00:04:49,330
No, I didn't have to go into his garage
to know where he parked his car.
95
00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:52,083
He advertised it.
96
00:04:52,709 --> 00:04:54,419
It was all part of his image.
97
00:04:56,754 --> 00:04:58,548
[Mickey] Defense Exhibit G, Your Honor.
98
00:04:59,090 --> 00:05:00,776
Is this the photo you found?
99
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,694
Yes.
100
00:05:01,718 --> 00:05:03,636
[Mickey] So, you've never
been in his garage?
101
00:05:04,137 --> 00:05:06,448
But you did have some run-ins
with Mr. Bondurant?
102
00:05:06,472 --> 00:05:07,515
Plenty. [chuckles]
103
00:05:08,725 --> 00:05:10,727
Yeah, but he kept running into me.
104
00:05:11,352 --> 00:05:12,871
He was harassing me.
105
00:05:12,895 --> 00:05:16,333
He loved to shut down the street
during the dinner rush.
106
00:05:16,357 --> 00:05:19,044
I mean, the noise and the dust,
107
00:05:19,068 --> 00:05:22,989
it made it impossible for our customers
to eat out on the terrace.
108
00:05:23,573 --> 00:05:24,842
It was endless.
109
00:05:24,866 --> 00:05:27,511
Seems like Mr. Bondurant
wasn't so easy to deal with.
110
00:05:27,535 --> 00:05:29,555
Oh God, he was an asshole.
111
00:05:29,579 --> 00:05:30,889
[hushed laughter]
112
00:05:30,913 --> 00:05:33,309
Um, I'm sorry. Can I say that?
113
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:34,667
It's okay, Ms. Trammell.
114
00:05:35,501 --> 00:05:39,297
Look, honestly, I couldn't stand him.
115
00:05:39,797 --> 00:05:40,882
I don't deny that.
116
00:05:42,633 --> 00:05:44,886
In my experience, he wasn't a good man
117
00:05:45,970 --> 00:05:47,096
or an honest one.
118
00:05:48,181 --> 00:05:50,200
But I didn't hate what he was doing to me.
119
00:05:50,224 --> 00:05:51,410
You didn't?
120
00:05:51,434 --> 00:05:53,353
[Lisa] No. I mean, I didn't love it.
121
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,040
But it really wasn't about me.
122
00:05:56,064 --> 00:05:57,499
[somber music playing]
123
00:05:57,523 --> 00:05:59,859
I hated what he was doing to my community.
124
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:05,007
Because I watched him
kick out my neighbors one by one
125
00:06:05,031 --> 00:06:08,284
just so he can put up
some shiny new playground.
126
00:06:10,286 --> 00:06:11,537
It was heartbreaking.
127
00:06:12,580 --> 00:06:15,708
Heartbreaking enough
for you to want to take revenge?
128
00:06:16,584 --> 00:06:18,127
No, I didn't want revenge.
129
00:06:20,171 --> 00:06:21,631
What good would that do?
130
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:24,568
The construction is still going on.
131
00:06:24,592 --> 00:06:27,178
I can't stop the city
from remaking itself.
132
00:06:28,012 --> 00:06:30,390
It's gonna happen
whether I like it or not.
133
00:06:33,267 --> 00:06:34,143
No.
134
00:06:36,938 --> 00:06:38,731
I just wanted to save my home.
135
00:06:44,570 --> 00:06:46,131
[bell dings]
136
00:06:46,155 --> 00:06:48,699
- [distant car horns blaring]
- [footsteps approach]
137
00:06:49,617 --> 00:06:50,535
Hey.
138
00:06:52,995 --> 00:06:54,390
[somber music continues]
139
00:06:54,414 --> 00:06:55,790
You did great today.
140
00:06:59,419 --> 00:07:03,131
You know, they built all this
when I was a kid.
141
00:07:05,341 --> 00:07:08,094
I used to come here with my dad
when they were putting it up.
142
00:07:09,887 --> 00:07:11,431
We used to ride the train.
143
00:07:13,141 --> 00:07:15,143
Even then, it was always changing.
144
00:07:19,063 --> 00:07:20,064
So, what now?
145
00:07:20,898 --> 00:07:22,942
Now we prepare you for cross.
146
00:07:24,569 --> 00:07:27,321
We have the weekend to get you ready,
and we're gonna use it.
147
00:07:30,616 --> 00:07:32,219
Today was the easy part.
148
00:07:32,243 --> 00:07:35,788
Monday morning, Andrea's gonna
come after you with everything she has.
149
00:07:37,498 --> 00:07:39,500
[opening theme music playing]
150
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:49,528
[Lorna] I sent you the prep questions,
and I left a copy on your desk.
151
00:07:49,552 --> 00:07:52,030
There's only so much
you can ever prepare anyone.
152
00:07:52,054 --> 00:07:53,907
After that, it is what it is.
153
00:07:53,931 --> 00:07:56,434
Well, we knew it was a risk
when you called her.
154
00:07:57,059 --> 00:07:59,538
At least it'll make for
an interesting presentation.
155
00:07:59,562 --> 00:08:00,873
[Mickey] Presentation?
156
00:08:00,897 --> 00:08:02,666
[Lorna] In my criminal practice clinic.
157
00:08:02,690 --> 00:08:04,626
That reminds me.
I have to find someone to vet it.
158
00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:07,504
- I thought that was my job.
- [Lorna] No, you're my mentor.
159
00:08:07,528 --> 00:08:09,339
You're supposed to teach me.
160
00:08:09,363 --> 00:08:11,467
Someone's gotta judge
the job you're doing.
161
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:13,260
[Mickey] All right, what about Legal?
162
00:08:13,284 --> 00:08:15,053
There's nobody better. Trust me.
163
00:08:15,077 --> 00:08:16,096
[Lorna] Would he do it?
164
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,556
[Mickey] I bet he'd love to.
165
00:08:17,580 --> 00:08:19,766
It'd give him an excuse
to come down to court.
166
00:08:19,790 --> 00:08:21,185
[Lorna] Hmm. Thank you.
167
00:08:21,209 --> 00:08:23,896
Hey, listen, Mickey.
Try to get some rest this weekend.
168
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,940
I know you're buried,
but you have to be sharp on Monday.
169
00:08:26,964 --> 00:08:28,049
[Mickey] I'll try.
170
00:08:29,008 --> 00:08:30,343
Good night, Lorna.
171
00:08:30,927 --> 00:08:31,761
Good night.
172
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,918
[Elena] What are you saying, Doctor?
173
00:08:45,942 --> 00:08:48,295
You mean he'll never wake up?
174
00:08:48,319 --> 00:08:50,446
He'll be like this forever?
175
00:08:50,947 --> 00:08:52,466
Oh, no.
176
00:08:52,490 --> 00:08:55,117
After everything
my family has been through.
177
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,497
I don't know if
they can handle any more tragedy.
178
00:09:00,581 --> 00:09:02,017
[Mickey, in Spanish] What's all this?
179
00:09:02,041 --> 00:09:05,378
[in Spanish] I have an audition.
180
00:09:05,962 --> 00:09:08,982
Can you believe it?
They're making me read.
181
00:09:09,006 --> 00:09:11,652
I thought actors just sent video now.
182
00:09:11,676 --> 00:09:14,887
[Elena] If they're gonna make me read,
183
00:09:15,429 --> 00:09:20,452
they are getting the full experience,
whether they like it or not.
184
00:09:20,476 --> 00:09:21,703
[both chuckle]
185
00:09:21,727 --> 00:09:24,873
That reminds me. You have a driver, yes?
186
00:09:24,897 --> 00:09:26,416
Yes. I have a driver.
187
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,502
Good, I need to borrow her.
188
00:09:28,526 --> 00:09:31,296
She's not a taxi, Mama.
She takes me to court.
189
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,409
So she can take you to court
and then take me to my audition.
190
00:09:37,785 --> 00:09:39,161
Where is this audition?
191
00:09:39,745 --> 00:09:41,139
- Burbank.
- Burbank?
192
00:09:41,163 --> 00:09:42,057
Uh-huh.
193
00:09:42,081 --> 00:09:45,477
[in Spanish] The courthouse is downtown.
That's hours away in traffic.
194
00:09:45,501 --> 00:09:48,379
It won't work. I'll get you an Uber.
195
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:51,841
[sighs]
196
00:09:57,346 --> 00:10:00,099
[mellow music playing]
197
00:10:02,184 --> 00:10:03,144
Pothole.
198
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:07,356
[short rumble]
199
00:10:11,402 --> 00:10:12,445
You nervous?
200
00:10:13,779 --> 00:10:15,048
- Well...
- [Elena] Darling.
201
00:10:15,072 --> 00:10:19,428
I was the lead of the second
most popular telenovela in all of Mexico.
202
00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:22,598
Nerves are for people
who have something to prove.
203
00:10:22,622 --> 00:10:25,309
I watched a couple episodes.
I thought you were great.
204
00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:26,435
[Elena] Thank you, sweetie.
205
00:10:26,459 --> 00:10:29,646
You're already a bigger fan than my son.
206
00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:33,758
It's because you're a performer like me
that you get it. This one, never.
207
00:10:34,342 --> 00:10:37,029
I don't know about that.
You should see him in court.
208
00:10:37,053 --> 00:10:39,072
No. No, she shouldn't.
209
00:10:39,096 --> 00:10:42,534
Drop me off. Take her to her audition.
Then straight home.
210
00:10:42,558 --> 00:10:44,393
[in Spanish] Did I say I wanted to go?
211
00:10:46,896 --> 00:10:48,022
[sighs quietly]
212
00:10:51,233 --> 00:10:54,004
[Andrea] You seem to make
a lot of enemies, Ms. Trammell.
213
00:10:54,028 --> 00:10:58,133
We all know about Mitchell Bondurant,
who had a restraining order against you.
214
00:10:58,157 --> 00:10:59,551
All I did was protest.
215
00:10:59,575 --> 00:11:03,371
Yes, 23 times,
according to the application for the TRO.
216
00:11:05,122 --> 00:11:08,685
Twenty-three times you'd led
demonstrations to his office.
217
00:11:08,709 --> 00:11:11,587
- His building was vandalized...
- Not by me.
218
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:15,508
No, I was there to make my voice heard.
219
00:11:16,092 --> 00:11:17,677
Peacefully and lawfully.
220
00:11:18,636 --> 00:11:19,470
That's all.
221
00:11:19,970 --> 00:11:23,116
So, you weren't the one
who left repeated threatening messages
222
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:24,910
on Mr. Bondurant's voice mail?
223
00:11:24,934 --> 00:11:26,495
No, I was not.
224
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:30,773
Or the one who threw a raw egg at him
on September 9th of last year?
225
00:11:32,775 --> 00:11:33,734
Is that funny?
226
00:11:35,569 --> 00:11:36,779
I didn't do it.
227
00:11:37,822 --> 00:11:39,341
But I can't say it wasn't funny.
228
00:11:39,365 --> 00:11:41,009
[hushed laughter]
229
00:11:41,033 --> 00:11:44,346
And then there's your husband.
Jeff, is it?
230
00:11:44,370 --> 00:11:45,597
That's right.
231
00:11:45,621 --> 00:11:50,334
I would say "ex-husband," but you two
never actually divorced, did you?
232
00:11:50,918 --> 00:11:52,753
I'm sorry, is that a crime?
233
00:11:53,337 --> 00:11:54,380
[Andrea] It's unusual.
234
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,192
A couple must not get along
for one of them to leave the marriage
235
00:11:57,216 --> 00:11:59,403
without even bothering to legally end it.
236
00:11:59,427 --> 00:12:00,737
Objection, relevance.
237
00:12:00,761 --> 00:12:03,532
My client's relationship
with her husband is not on trial.
238
00:12:03,556 --> 00:12:05,492
[judge] Overruled, Mr. Haller.
239
00:12:05,516 --> 00:12:08,745
You opened that door.
Ms. Freemann is free to walk through it.
240
00:12:08,769 --> 00:12:13,023
How often would you say you
and your husband fought, Ms. Trammell?
241
00:12:13,774 --> 00:12:16,777
[hesitates] I don't know
the exact frequency.
242
00:12:18,821 --> 00:12:20,656
Once a month? Every day?
243
00:12:21,782 --> 00:12:23,593
It wasn't a regular schedule.
244
00:12:23,617 --> 00:12:25,411
Why did your husband leave you?
245
00:12:26,996 --> 00:12:30,434
I guess he couldn't handle
the responsibility.
246
00:12:30,458 --> 00:12:33,019
Of your restaurant?
247
00:12:33,043 --> 00:12:34,938
Among other things, yes.
248
00:12:34,962 --> 00:12:36,898
Not because you were
difficult to get along with?
249
00:12:36,922 --> 00:12:39,609
[scoffs] I was difficult?
That's a good one.
250
00:12:39,633 --> 00:12:41,677
Ms. Trammell, please answer the question.
251
00:12:42,178 --> 00:12:45,907
Look, I don't know why he left.
You'd have to ask him.
252
00:12:45,931 --> 00:12:47,933
Okay, maybe I will.
253
00:12:49,185 --> 00:12:51,204
- Where's your husband now?
- [Lisa] Couldn't tell you.
254
00:12:51,228 --> 00:12:52,313
You don't know?
255
00:12:53,355 --> 00:12:55,500
On a beach in Mexico, last I heard.
256
00:12:55,524 --> 00:12:58,378
He had to get as far away from you
as possible, huh?
257
00:12:58,402 --> 00:13:01,214
- Objection!
- That piece of shit was lucky to have me.
258
00:13:01,238 --> 00:13:04,760
Order! I will not tolerate outbursts
in my courtroom.
259
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:06,911
[tense music playing]
260
00:13:08,454 --> 00:13:10,307
We can all see why he left, can't we?
261
00:13:10,331 --> 00:13:11,999
- Objection.
- Withdrawn.
262
00:13:13,292 --> 00:13:14,502
Nothing further.
263
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:17,630
Redirect.
264
00:13:21,091 --> 00:13:24,261
Ms. Trammell, one question.
Did you kill Mitchell Bondurant?
265
00:13:24,845 --> 00:13:25,930
No, I didn't.
266
00:13:28,390 --> 00:13:29,409
Nothing further.
267
00:13:29,433 --> 00:13:30,768
[cell phone vibrates]
268
00:13:38,234 --> 00:13:40,170
- [Cisco] Baby.
- Please tell me you have good news.
269
00:13:40,194 --> 00:13:41,505
[Cisco] Half and half.
270
00:13:41,529 --> 00:13:45,383
Doctor's on her way,
but Manny's running late.
271
00:13:45,407 --> 00:13:49,012
You have to get him here, Cisco.
We're already in a hole. Hurry up.
272
00:13:49,036 --> 00:13:52,724
Babe, I'm on it.
As soon as he touches ground, we're there.
273
00:13:52,748 --> 00:13:54,333
[Lorna] Okay, drive safe.
274
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:58,230
The universe is aligning in my favor.
The universe is aligning in my favor.
275
00:13:58,254 --> 00:14:00,023
The universe is aligning in my favor.
276
00:14:00,047 --> 00:14:03,360
[René] Lisa's taught me so much.
She's really been a mentor to me.
277
00:14:03,384 --> 00:14:06,512
Do you have any complaints
about the way she runs her kitchen?
278
00:14:07,012 --> 00:14:07,948
I admire it.
279
00:14:07,972 --> 00:14:10,116
She's very level-headed,
even under pressure.
280
00:14:10,140 --> 00:14:13,310
And would you say that Mitchell Bondurant
added to that pressure?
281
00:14:13,936 --> 00:14:15,121
[René] Oh, definitely.
282
00:14:15,145 --> 00:14:17,207
We all had run-ins with him or his crew,
283
00:14:17,231 --> 00:14:19,793
but Lisa was always
the one keeping us calm.
284
00:14:19,817 --> 00:14:21,527
Can you elaborate on that?
285
00:14:22,278 --> 00:14:24,589
[René] It was always something
with the construction.
286
00:14:24,613 --> 00:14:25,924
We'd get so mad about it.
287
00:14:25,948 --> 00:14:28,635
We'd joke about, like,
leaving rotting meat over there.
288
00:14:28,659 --> 00:14:30,011
Silly stuff like that.
289
00:14:30,035 --> 00:14:33,765
But she'd be like, "No.
No, we can't be like them." You know?
290
00:14:33,789 --> 00:14:36,792
"Don't lose hope.
It's gonna be okay." Stuff like that.
291
00:14:37,418 --> 00:14:40,021
You seem quite fond
of the defendant, Mr. Morales.
292
00:14:40,045 --> 00:14:41,898
[René] Like I said, she's a great boss.
293
00:14:41,922 --> 00:14:45,652
I'm sure. But has she ever
crossed a line with you?
294
00:14:45,676 --> 00:14:46,760
[René] A line?
295
00:14:47,303 --> 00:14:50,973
In terms of her temper
or how she treats you or the staff?
296
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,893
No, I don't think so.
297
00:14:54,393 --> 00:14:55,269
No?
298
00:14:56,228 --> 00:14:57,730
People's 32, Your Honor.
299
00:14:59,648 --> 00:15:02,586
You posted this four years ago,
Mr. Morales.
300
00:15:02,610 --> 00:15:04,153
Can you please read it?
301
00:15:06,989 --> 00:15:09,593
[René] "To all our loyal customers
at Elysian."
302
00:15:09,617 --> 00:15:12,095
"Thank you so much for your patronage,
303
00:15:12,119 --> 00:15:14,306
but I can't take this shit anymore."
304
00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:15,390
"On to the next."
305
00:15:15,414 --> 00:15:18,268
Can you tell us
what this post was in reference to?
306
00:15:18,292 --> 00:15:19,293
[René] I, um...
307
00:15:20,711 --> 00:15:23,857
That day Lisa and I
kind of got into a little bit. That's all.
308
00:15:23,881 --> 00:15:26,050
Enough to make you quit your job?
309
00:15:27,217 --> 00:15:29,487
It wasn't our best moment, but...
310
00:15:29,511 --> 00:15:31,448
I mean, I came back a week later.
311
00:15:31,472 --> 00:15:33,599
Okay. Well, what did you fight about?
312
00:15:34,224 --> 00:15:39,456
[René] I... didn't like the way
she talked to me in front of a customer.
313
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,999
She just snapped at me.
314
00:15:41,023 --> 00:15:43,043
She lost her temper with you?
315
00:15:43,067 --> 00:15:46,630
I... I guess so. But, you know,
this is a very unusual occurrence.
316
00:15:46,654 --> 00:15:47,589
Was it?
317
00:15:47,613 --> 00:15:50,675
Can you read this reply from foodienista
318
00:15:50,699 --> 00:15:52,785
and then your response to that?
319
00:15:53,369 --> 00:15:55,639
They wrote, "It happened again?"
320
00:15:55,663 --> 00:15:59,017
And I said,
"She's crazy when she gets like this."
321
00:15:59,041 --> 00:16:00,769
"You can't talk to her."
322
00:16:00,793 --> 00:16:04,189
- Look, I was just angry, but...
- I have no further questions, Your Honor.
323
00:16:04,213 --> 00:16:06,882
[suspenseful music playing]
324
00:16:15,057 --> 00:16:17,160
I thought we checked
everybody's social media.
325
00:16:17,184 --> 00:16:20,413
I did. It must have been an old account.
It was four years ago.
326
00:16:20,437 --> 00:16:22,439
- [sighs] Lorna.
- [cell phone vibrates]
327
00:16:23,273 --> 00:16:24,400
Let me take this.
328
00:16:26,276 --> 00:16:27,671
Hey, Izzy. You survived?
329
00:16:27,695 --> 00:16:31,591
[chuckles] So far. I don't think I'm gonna
make it back in time to pick you up.
330
00:16:31,615 --> 00:16:33,242
What? Where are you?
331
00:16:33,951 --> 00:16:34,928
Culver City.
332
00:16:34,952 --> 00:16:37,639
Culver City?
I thought the audition was in Burbank.
333
00:16:37,663 --> 00:16:39,182
[Izzy] The audition was in Burbank.
334
00:16:39,206 --> 00:16:43,311
But then there was a meeting
in Santa Monica and lunch in Brentwood...
335
00:16:43,335 --> 00:16:45,188
Oh my God. Izzy, just tell her, "No."
336
00:16:45,212 --> 00:16:47,399
[scoffs] Have you met your mother?
337
00:16:47,423 --> 00:16:48,632
[sighs]
338
00:16:49,425 --> 00:16:50,276
Fine, whatever.
339
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:51,444
Just get her home.
340
00:16:51,468 --> 00:16:52,654
Okay. I'll try.
341
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:54,406
[alarm buzzes]
342
00:16:54,430 --> 00:16:56,557
[mellow music playing]
343
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:10,195
[Cisco] Pardon me. Excuse me. Pardon me.
344
00:17:12,114 --> 00:17:13,032
Sorry.
345
00:17:14,116 --> 00:17:15,510
I don't know. That way.
346
00:17:15,534 --> 00:17:17,137
[Mickey] You flew in this morning?
347
00:17:17,161 --> 00:17:19,180
Yes. I apologize for cutting it so close,
348
00:17:19,204 --> 00:17:21,349
but the United Nations
couldn't reschedule.
349
00:17:21,373 --> 00:17:25,020
That's okay, Dr. Arslanian.
I know you have a very busy schedule.
350
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:28,773
Now, I asked you to study the evidence
in this case, correct?
351
00:17:28,797 --> 00:17:31,234
- Police reports, autopsy findings.
- That's right.
352
00:17:31,258 --> 00:17:34,112
You asked if I thought
it would've been possible for your client
353
00:17:34,136 --> 00:17:37,991
to commit this crime which,
to cut to the chase, I don't.
354
00:17:38,015 --> 00:17:39,951
- You don't?
- [Dr. Arslanian] Definitely not.
355
00:17:39,975 --> 00:17:41,077
Can you tell us why?
356
00:17:41,101 --> 00:17:43,621
I could, but it would be easier
if I could show you.
357
00:17:43,645 --> 00:17:44,831
Sure.
358
00:17:44,855 --> 00:17:47,107
[suspenseful music playing]
359
00:17:49,860 --> 00:17:52,571
- Uh... Your Honor...
- [door opens]
360
00:17:53,197 --> 00:17:54,907
[excited chatter]
361
00:17:55,657 --> 00:17:57,076
[Dr. Arslanian] Ah, perfect.
362
00:17:59,328 --> 00:18:02,682
Your Honor, I'd like to bring up
my associate to help me demonstrate.
363
00:18:02,706 --> 00:18:06,126
- Is this man your associate?
- Not him. The one in the box.
364
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,404
Ladies and gentlemen,
this is my associate, Manny.
365
00:18:16,428 --> 00:18:18,782
[cameras clicking]
366
00:18:18,806 --> 00:18:20,891
[upbeat music playing]
367
00:18:22,476 --> 00:18:23,703
Just one thing, Your Honor.
368
00:18:23,727 --> 00:18:26,814
If Ms. Crane here could help
me and Manny out with something?
369
00:18:29,399 --> 00:18:31,586
So Mr. Bondurant was six-foot-three.
370
00:18:31,610 --> 00:18:34,714
As you can see, Manny is the same.
371
00:18:34,738 --> 00:18:40,386
And Ms. Crane is wearing four-inch heels
to simulate Ms. Trammell's height of 5'6".
372
00:18:40,410 --> 00:18:42,246
Lovely choice, I might add.
373
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:49,395
The injuries to Mr. Bondurant tell us
that he was killed by blunt force trauma
374
00:18:49,419 --> 00:18:51,356
to the top of his head.
375
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:53,900
A single blow delivered with great force.
376
00:18:53,924 --> 00:18:55,902
In fact, we know the weapon was a hammer,
377
00:18:55,926 --> 00:19:00,889
which is why I've procured
the same model for this demonstration.
378
00:19:01,473 --> 00:19:03,350
So, have at it.
379
00:19:06,562 --> 00:19:07,646
Stop.
380
00:19:08,355 --> 00:19:10,524
There's your problem right there.
381
00:19:11,316 --> 00:19:14,420
As you can see,
Ms. Crane is reaching as high as she can.
382
00:19:14,444 --> 00:19:16,422
She's even on her tippy-toes,
383
00:19:16,446 --> 00:19:19,384
and yet the hammer
is hitting the back of Manny's head.
384
00:19:19,408 --> 00:19:22,137
Mr. Bondurant's injuries
weren't to the back of his head.
385
00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:25,807
They were right on top.
And, clearly, she can't reach it.
386
00:19:25,831 --> 00:19:28,750
Not well enough to deliver a blow
with sufficient force.
387
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:32,296
Which means Ms. Trammell
wouldn't have been able to either.
388
00:19:32,963 --> 00:19:33,964
Thank you.
389
00:19:34,590 --> 00:19:36,359
[quiet laughter]
390
00:19:36,383 --> 00:19:39,803
Okay, that all makes sense,
but what if Bondurant was bending over?
391
00:19:41,013 --> 00:19:43,366
Couldn't he have
bent down to, say, tie his shoe?
392
00:19:43,390 --> 00:19:46,786
He could have, but Mr. Bondurant
sustained injuries to his knees
393
00:19:46,810 --> 00:19:48,246
at the time of death,
394
00:19:48,270 --> 00:19:51,541
which indicate that he fell forward
after he was struck.
395
00:19:51,565 --> 00:19:55,128
If he had been bending over, the distance
between his knees and the ground
396
00:19:55,152 --> 00:19:57,797
wouldn't have been great enough
to create those injuries.
397
00:19:57,821 --> 00:20:01,009
So, there's no way
someone of my client's height
398
00:20:01,033 --> 00:20:04,554
could have hit Mitchell Bondurant
on the top of his head with a hammer?
399
00:20:04,578 --> 00:20:08,224
Under the circumstances
as we know them, no, there is not.
400
00:20:08,248 --> 00:20:09,893
It's not possible?
401
00:20:09,917 --> 00:20:11,769
It's physically impossible.
402
00:20:11,793 --> 00:20:13,295
[hushed chatter]
403
00:20:14,671 --> 00:20:15,756
Thank you, Doctor.
404
00:20:20,052 --> 00:20:21,053
Ms. Freemann.
405
00:20:25,641 --> 00:20:27,392
- May I?
- [Dr. Arslanian] Of course.
406
00:20:41,448 --> 00:20:43,301
- [gallery murmurs]
- [camera clicking]
407
00:20:43,325 --> 00:20:44,385
How about now?
408
00:20:44,409 --> 00:20:46,804
[tense music playing]
409
00:20:46,828 --> 00:20:47,746
Sure.
410
00:20:48,288 --> 00:20:51,601
In a scenario in which Mr. Bondurant
was staring straight up into the sky,
411
00:20:51,625 --> 00:20:53,144
it might be possible.
412
00:20:53,168 --> 00:20:56,064
But there's no evidence
to indicate that was the case.
413
00:20:56,088 --> 00:20:58,983
[Andrea] Did you examine the crime scene
yourself, Doctor?
414
00:20:59,007 --> 00:21:01,152
No, but I did examine
every police photo of it.
415
00:21:01,176 --> 00:21:04,030
I also checked
the maintenance logs from the garage.
416
00:21:04,054 --> 00:21:06,950
There were no leaky pipes
or burned-out light bulbs.
417
00:21:06,974 --> 00:21:08,850
Nothing he would've been staring up at.
418
00:21:09,434 --> 00:21:10,477
What about a spider?
419
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:12,437
A spider?
420
00:21:13,021 --> 00:21:15,166
You know, lowering itself from its web.
421
00:21:15,190 --> 00:21:17,085
You see something
out of the corner of your eye
422
00:21:17,109 --> 00:21:20,279
or feel something on your head,
and instinctively...
423
00:21:21,780 --> 00:21:23,198
It's possible, isn't it?
424
00:21:24,241 --> 00:21:28,054
Perhaps, but forensics
is about the likely probabilities,
425
00:21:28,078 --> 00:21:30,139
not the endless possibilities.
426
00:21:30,163 --> 00:21:34,435
The truth is, though, Doctor,
that you have no way of knowing for sure
427
00:21:34,459 --> 00:21:36,920
what happened in the garage
that day, do you?
428
00:21:38,005 --> 00:21:38,922
None of us do.
429
00:21:40,507 --> 00:21:41,526
[clicks fingers]
430
00:21:41,550 --> 00:21:44,052
Thank you. Nothing further.
431
00:21:47,597 --> 00:21:49,867
[hushed chatter]
432
00:21:49,891 --> 00:21:53,145
[suspenseful music playing]
433
00:22:12,956 --> 00:22:15,393
[sniffling]
434
00:22:15,417 --> 00:22:16,543
Izzy, what happened?
435
00:22:17,127 --> 00:22:20,255
She made me stop for the wine,
but I talked her out of more Botox.
436
00:22:21,048 --> 00:22:21,882
[Mickey] Mama.
437
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,530
[in Spanish] What happened?
438
00:22:27,554 --> 00:22:29,240
[in Spanish] Time, son.
439
00:22:29,264 --> 00:22:30,366
[she sniffles]
440
00:22:30,390 --> 00:22:31,433
I was dropped.
441
00:22:32,976 --> 00:22:34,436
My agent dropped me.
442
00:22:35,228 --> 00:22:36,146
Me.
443
00:22:36,813 --> 00:22:38,273
I was a star.
444
00:22:39,816 --> 00:22:42,361
Now I'm begging for scraps.
445
00:22:43,278 --> 00:22:44,630
[Elena cries]
446
00:22:44,654 --> 00:22:45,739
Mama.
447
00:22:48,033 --> 00:22:51,703
Maybe this is a sign.
448
00:22:52,913 --> 00:22:58,168
The universe is telling me
it's time for something else.
449
00:23:01,046 --> 00:23:03,590
Time to focus on my family, maybe.
450
00:23:08,136 --> 00:23:09,113
Mama.
451
00:23:09,137 --> 00:23:13,517
I think sometimes the universe
likes to knock you around a little bit
452
00:23:14,726 --> 00:23:17,396
to remind you that you have to fight back.
453
00:23:20,148 --> 00:23:23,360
Mama. Why don't you
come to court tomorrow?
454
00:23:24,111 --> 00:23:27,465
You don't really want me there.
455
00:23:27,489 --> 00:23:30,450
I do. I'm asking you to come.
I could use the support.
456
00:23:32,452 --> 00:23:33,262
Really?
457
00:23:33,286 --> 00:23:34,204
[Mickey] Mm-hmm.
458
00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:36,998
Okay. If you really need me...
459
00:23:38,625 --> 00:23:39,435
I'll come.
460
00:23:39,459 --> 00:23:40,419
Okay.
461
00:23:41,211 --> 00:23:42,647
I can do that for you.
462
00:23:42,671 --> 00:23:43,713
[Mickey speaks Spanish]
463
00:23:44,214 --> 00:23:45,507
[Elena speaks Spanish]
464
00:23:48,969 --> 00:23:51,221
I think I'll even wear my new sweater.
465
00:24:16,955 --> 00:24:19,100
[Legal] All right, kid, lay it on me.
466
00:24:19,124 --> 00:24:22,711
[Lorna] Well, the problem all along
was the evidence.
467
00:24:23,503 --> 00:24:25,130
It was just too strong.
468
00:24:25,881 --> 00:24:29,527
Sure, we could put our experts up there
to poke holes in the prosecution's theory,
469
00:24:29,551 --> 00:24:31,320
but at the end of the day,
470
00:24:31,344 --> 00:24:34,490
the murder weapon was our client's hammer.
471
00:24:34,514 --> 00:24:36,826
They had her gloves
with the victim's blood on it.
472
00:24:36,850 --> 00:24:39,328
Just saying those things were planted
wasn't enough.
473
00:24:39,352 --> 00:24:42,522
We had to tell the jury
who planted them and why.
474
00:24:52,491 --> 00:24:53,992
[Mickey] The defense calls Alex Grant.
475
00:24:57,329 --> 00:25:00,016
Mr. Grant, can you tell us
what you do for a living?
476
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,851
I'm an entrepreneur.
477
00:25:01,875 --> 00:25:03,126
[Mickey] In what field?
478
00:25:03,710 --> 00:25:06,481
My primary business is Argel Construction.
479
00:25:06,505 --> 00:25:10,735
It's a commercial contractor
in the Los Angeles area.
480
00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:13,029
A pretty major contractor, no?
481
00:25:13,053 --> 00:25:14,447
I can't complain.
482
00:25:14,471 --> 00:25:18,910
Now, this guy is a total asshat
but a predictable asshat.
483
00:25:18,934 --> 00:25:21,704
After the motion to quash,
we knew we had to play him a bit.
484
00:25:21,728 --> 00:25:25,875
You know, stroke his ego,
which was plenty inflated to begin with.
485
00:25:25,899 --> 00:25:28,944
Can you say "asshat" in your presentation?
486
00:25:29,444 --> 00:25:32,715
In fact, your company has
a very important bid out. Is that correct?
487
00:25:32,739 --> 00:25:34,217
The Olympic Village?
488
00:25:34,241 --> 00:25:35,176
Yeah.
489
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,220
They haven't made a decision yet,
have they?
490
00:25:37,244 --> 00:25:40,372
There have been some delays
in the approval process.
491
00:25:40,956 --> 00:25:42,600
[Mickey] Ah. Still, very exciting.
492
00:25:42,624 --> 00:25:45,019
And is construction your only business?
493
00:25:45,043 --> 00:25:48,022
No. I have investments in other areas.
494
00:25:48,046 --> 00:25:49,857
Uh, entertainment, for one.
495
00:25:49,881 --> 00:25:53,444
I own a small production company
called PanMedia.
496
00:25:53,468 --> 00:25:55,696
I own a management consulting firm.
497
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:56,614
A courier service?
498
00:25:56,638 --> 00:25:58,348
Eagle Couriers, yes.
499
00:25:59,683 --> 00:26:02,828
- All different kinds of things.
- And they're all profitable businesses?
500
00:26:02,852 --> 00:26:05,581
I mean, clearly,
your track record speaks for itself.
501
00:26:05,605 --> 00:26:07,792
[upbeat music playing]
502
00:26:07,816 --> 00:26:11,045
[Lorna] We got our inside man to tell him
we didn't have anything on him.
503
00:26:11,069 --> 00:26:12,046
The podcaster?
504
00:26:12,070 --> 00:26:15,132
- Henry Dahl.
- Also an asshat, but that's another story.
505
00:26:15,156 --> 00:26:18,177
For this to work,
we really had to rope-a-dope this guy.
506
00:26:18,201 --> 00:26:22,414
You know, lower his defenses,
and then let the games begin.
507
00:26:23,540 --> 00:26:26,060
[Mickey] Can you tell us
what this email was about?
508
00:26:26,084 --> 00:26:29,063
Mitch was, uh, up to his eyeballs in debt.
509
00:26:29,087 --> 00:26:32,775
I guess he thought he could
strong-arm me into helping him out.
510
00:26:32,799 --> 00:26:33,901
Bondurant was in debt?
511
00:26:33,925 --> 00:26:37,095
Yeah, to the tune of
a couple hundred million.
512
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:41,450
The Terrazzo, that's the high-rise
that he hired us to do some work on,
513
00:26:41,474 --> 00:26:43,977
was stalled due to inspection issues.
514
00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:46,581
He started hemorrhaging cash.
515
00:26:46,605 --> 00:26:49,000
But wouldn't an issue
with building inspection
516
00:26:49,024 --> 00:26:50,334
involve the contractor?
517
00:26:50,358 --> 00:26:54,362
Sure, but when we were on the job,
the inspections passed.
518
00:26:54,946 --> 00:26:57,633
The holdup came after,
during final approval.
519
00:26:57,657 --> 00:27:00,761
I don't know if Mitch had hired
finishing contractors
520
00:27:00,785 --> 00:27:05,099
who were doing subpar work
or if he had architectural problems,
521
00:27:05,123 --> 00:27:10,146
but all I know is it had nothing to do
with me or my company.
522
00:27:10,170 --> 00:27:11,338
[Lorna] Yeah, right.
523
00:27:12,130 --> 00:27:14,358
Our investigator
found the inspection paperwork.
524
00:27:14,382 --> 00:27:17,612
Turns out everything was approved
when Grant's company was on the job,
525
00:27:17,636 --> 00:27:20,489
but as soon as it finished,
the city found a bunch of issues.
526
00:27:20,513 --> 00:27:23,784
Which means he was probably
spreading bribes around
527
00:27:23,808 --> 00:27:25,870
so his company's half-assed job
could get approved
528
00:27:25,894 --> 00:27:27,687
so they could do it on the cheap.
529
00:27:28,813 --> 00:27:31,000
Sorry. Keep going, babe.
You're doing great.
530
00:27:31,024 --> 00:27:34,211
Right. Well, there was no way to prove it.
Not directly, anyway.
531
00:27:34,235 --> 00:27:38,257
So we did the next best thing,
which was to heavily imply it.
532
00:27:38,281 --> 00:27:41,093
It's called circumstantial evidence.
533
00:27:41,117 --> 00:27:44,162
I would've hoped
somebody might have taught you that.
534
00:27:44,871 --> 00:27:48,225
[Mickey] This FBI target letter
was introduced to the jury earlier.
535
00:27:48,249 --> 00:27:49,959
Do you recognize it, Mr. Grant?
536
00:27:51,127 --> 00:27:51,937
I do.
537
00:27:51,961 --> 00:27:54,565
[Mickey] This letter identifies you
as a person of interest
538
00:27:54,589 --> 00:27:58,301
in an ongoing federal investigation
into construction fraud, correct?
539
00:27:59,803 --> 00:28:00,613
Theoretically.
540
00:28:00,637 --> 00:28:01,739
Theoretically?
541
00:28:01,763 --> 00:28:04,200
Contractors get scrutinized all the time,
542
00:28:04,224 --> 00:28:08,287
but I had nothing to hide,
which is why nothing came of this letter.
543
00:28:08,311 --> 00:28:11,040
It was sent months ago,
and they never even followed up.
544
00:28:11,064 --> 00:28:12,232
I see.
545
00:28:12,774 --> 00:28:15,652
Can you read the date
on the target letter, Mr. Grant?
546
00:28:16,236 --> 00:28:18,130
January 18th.
547
00:28:18,154 --> 00:28:21,092
Let's take a look at
the email Mitchell Bondurant sent you.
548
00:28:21,116 --> 00:28:22,301
What's the date there?
549
00:28:22,325 --> 00:28:24,261
It looks like January 10th.
550
00:28:24,285 --> 00:28:27,473
Eight days after Mitchell Bondurant
sent you this threatening email,
551
00:28:27,497 --> 00:28:29,374
you received a letter from the FBI.
552
00:28:29,874 --> 00:28:31,977
Were you worried
he reported you to the feds?
553
00:28:32,001 --> 00:28:35,898
Real estate is a messy business.
Nothing would surprise me.
554
00:28:35,922 --> 00:28:37,942
Again, I have nothing to hide.
555
00:28:37,966 --> 00:28:40,528
Is it possible this investigation
had something to do
556
00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:42,887
with the holdup on your Olympics deal?
557
00:28:44,055 --> 00:28:45,181
I wouldn't know that.
558
00:28:45,682 --> 00:28:46,575
[hushed chatter]
559
00:28:46,599 --> 00:28:50,371
All in all, your life would've been easier
if Bondurant was out of the way.
560
00:28:50,395 --> 00:28:51,455
Objection.
561
00:28:51,479 --> 00:28:53,189
Apologies, Your Honor, withdrawn.
562
00:28:53,773 --> 00:28:55,960
[judge] Color inside the lines,
Mr. Haller.
563
00:28:55,984 --> 00:28:57,318
[Mickey] Understood, Your Honor.
564
00:28:58,570 --> 00:29:01,197
Grant. That's not your real name, is it?
565
00:29:03,283 --> 00:29:05,761
My legal last name is Grant, yes.
566
00:29:05,785 --> 00:29:07,972
But you weren't born Alex Grant, were you?
567
00:29:07,996 --> 00:29:11,225
Objection. What does the witness's name
have to do with this trial?
568
00:29:11,249 --> 00:29:13,811
I'll make that clear
in a few minutes, Your Honor.
569
00:29:13,835 --> 00:29:15,003
See that you do.
570
00:29:16,796 --> 00:29:17,982
Your last name, Mr. Grant.
571
00:29:18,006 --> 00:29:20,234
I was born Alex Kazarian,
572
00:29:20,258 --> 00:29:24,345
but I legally changed my surname to Grant
some years ago.
573
00:29:25,180 --> 00:29:26,991
Kazarian. That's a nice name.
574
00:29:27,015 --> 00:29:28,308
Why change it?
575
00:29:28,933 --> 00:29:32,037
I was trying to find my footing
as a businessman in America,
576
00:29:32,061 --> 00:29:35,124
and Armenian last names
are difficult to pronounce.
577
00:29:35,148 --> 00:29:38,753
Yeah, but there's a very large
Armenian community in Los Angeles, no?
578
00:29:38,777 --> 00:29:41,172
Yes, but xenophobia is everywhere,
579
00:29:41,196 --> 00:29:44,157
especially when you're dealing with
the LA City Council.
580
00:29:44,657 --> 00:29:46,218
[quiet laughter]
581
00:29:46,242 --> 00:29:49,537
Sad but true.
Although you were born here, correct?
582
00:29:50,413 --> 00:29:51,599
That's correct.
583
00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:54,018
[Mickey] It's your father
who first came to Los Angeles.
584
00:29:54,042 --> 00:29:56,854
- Can you tell us about him?
- Objection. Again, relevance.
585
00:29:56,878 --> 00:29:57,813
Overruled.
586
00:29:57,837 --> 00:29:59,982
Your Honor, if I may be heard.
587
00:30:00,006 --> 00:30:01,650
I am Jacob Zimmer.
588
00:30:01,674 --> 00:30:04,820
I represent the witness, and if I could
get a moment with my client?
589
00:30:04,844 --> 00:30:08,324
I see no reason
to go down that rabbit hole at the moment.
590
00:30:08,348 --> 00:30:12,745
But your rope is running out, Mr. Haller.
Get to the point.
591
00:30:12,769 --> 00:30:15,438
Of course, Your Honor.
Thank you. Mr. Grant?
592
00:30:17,357 --> 00:30:19,001
What is it you wanna know about?
593
00:30:19,025 --> 00:30:21,319
Your father, Sasha Kazarian.
594
00:30:21,820 --> 00:30:25,466
Isn't it true he's currently serving time
in federal prison
595
00:30:25,490 --> 00:30:29,595
for multiple counts
of racketeering, fraud,
596
00:30:29,619 --> 00:30:31,847
association with organized crime,
597
00:30:31,871 --> 00:30:33,915
even conspiracy to commit murder?
598
00:30:34,624 --> 00:30:36,352
[cameras clicking]
599
00:30:36,376 --> 00:30:38,395
[somber music playing]
600
00:30:38,419 --> 00:30:39,814
Yes, it's true.
601
00:30:39,838 --> 00:30:43,025
My father's background is public knowledge
602
00:30:43,049 --> 00:30:47,029
to anyone willing to dig deep enough,
which clearly you have.
603
00:30:47,053 --> 00:30:51,116
Did changing your name have anything to do
with hiding from your family history?
604
00:30:51,140 --> 00:30:52,392
Of course it did.
605
00:30:53,434 --> 00:30:55,913
But you told the court
you wanted to Americanize it.
606
00:30:55,937 --> 00:30:57,665
[Grant] Both things can be true.
607
00:30:57,689 --> 00:31:00,960
I wanted to distance myself
from my father's past,
608
00:31:00,984 --> 00:31:04,088
and I wanted
a consumer-friendly last name.
609
00:31:04,112 --> 00:31:06,799
I know what you're trying to do,
Mr. Haller,
610
00:31:06,823 --> 00:31:09,635
but I have no ties to my father's world.
611
00:31:09,659 --> 00:31:12,620
You can dig as deep as you want.
You won't find anything.
612
00:31:13,121 --> 00:31:16,016
It wasn't enough
just to show his dad was a criminal.
613
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,310
We needed more.
That's where this one came in.
614
00:31:18,334 --> 00:31:20,771
It was just simple detective work, babe.
615
00:31:20,795 --> 00:31:23,232
You are too modest. He's too modest.
616
00:31:23,256 --> 00:31:26,944
[Mickey] This is a photograph
taken by my investigator on April 14th.
617
00:31:26,968 --> 00:31:29,804
Is this you in the picture
entering the Taron Bakery?
618
00:31:31,180 --> 00:31:32,324
Yeah, looks like it.
619
00:31:32,348 --> 00:31:34,851
And can you tell us
the significance of this bakery?
620
00:31:36,060 --> 00:31:37,937
They have the best baklava in town.
621
00:31:38,438 --> 00:31:39,874
[laughter]
622
00:31:39,898 --> 00:31:41,733
Is that the only reason you go?
623
00:31:43,568 --> 00:31:45,462
My uncle owns the place.
624
00:31:45,486 --> 00:31:48,382
What, is it a crime
to visit my uncle's bakery?
625
00:31:48,406 --> 00:31:50,408
Your uncle, Armen Kazarian?
626
00:31:52,118 --> 00:31:55,788
Didn't he also go to prison
for being associated with organized crime?
627
00:31:56,873 --> 00:32:01,937
Yes, but he turned his life around,
which is why he opened a bakery.
628
00:32:01,961 --> 00:32:05,465
To become an honest businessman
like myself.
629
00:32:06,549 --> 00:32:09,028
Defense Exhibit R, Your Honor.
Offered for impeachment.
630
00:32:09,052 --> 00:32:10,446
These are visitation records
631
00:32:10,470 --> 00:32:15,367
for the prison where Sasha Kazarian,
the witness's father, currently resides.
632
00:32:15,391 --> 00:32:16,452
Sidebar, Your Honor?
633
00:32:16,476 --> 00:32:19,103
[suspenseful music playing]
634
00:32:19,687 --> 00:32:20,897
[clears throat]
635
00:32:22,732 --> 00:32:25,794
Judge, I think it is clear
what Mr. Haller is trying to do here.
636
00:32:25,818 --> 00:32:27,796
I'm doing exactly what I said I'd do.
637
00:32:27,820 --> 00:32:30,215
Paint Mr. Grant as an alternate suspect.
638
00:32:30,239 --> 00:32:32,801
The court told me
to find more evidence, so I did.
639
00:32:32,825 --> 00:32:34,970
I'm afraid I have to agree, Ms. Freemann.
640
00:32:34,994 --> 00:32:38,164
There's nothing here that should be
a surprise to the prosecution.
641
00:32:40,166 --> 00:32:42,269
You can't possibly think this will work.
642
00:32:42,293 --> 00:32:45,296
Just pointing out this guy's family
has mob connections?
643
00:32:46,881 --> 00:32:49,068
[Mickey] Mr. Grant,
you'll notice from these records
644
00:32:49,092 --> 00:32:51,862
that you visited your father
on April 13th.
645
00:32:51,886 --> 00:32:53,221
Do you recall this?
646
00:32:54,263 --> 00:32:56,849
[hesitates] It sounds right. Yeah.
647
00:32:57,475 --> 00:33:00,204
This is one day before my investigator
took that photo of you
648
00:33:00,228 --> 00:33:01,705
entering your uncle's bakery?
649
00:33:01,729 --> 00:33:02,706
If you say so.
650
00:33:02,730 --> 00:33:04,983
The evidence says so, Mr. Grant.
651
00:33:06,985 --> 00:33:08,403
Defense S, Your Honor.
652
00:33:09,570 --> 00:33:11,614
Mr. Grant's travel records.
653
00:33:13,533 --> 00:33:17,346
So, it seems you visited your father,
654
00:33:17,370 --> 00:33:19,390
returned to Los Angeles the next day,
655
00:33:19,414 --> 00:33:23,668
and went straight to your uncle's bakery
even before going home.
656
00:33:25,169 --> 00:33:26,563
[exhales] I was hungry.
657
00:33:26,587 --> 00:33:28,190
It's 40 minutes out of your way.
658
00:33:28,214 --> 00:33:30,359
Objection, counsel is testifying.
659
00:33:30,383 --> 00:33:34,863
Sustained. The jury will disregard
that last editorial comment.
660
00:33:34,887 --> 00:33:36,782
Mr. Grant, you mentioned before
661
00:33:36,806 --> 00:33:39,535
a number of legitimate businesses
you've invested in,
662
00:33:39,559 --> 00:33:42,037
including a courier service,
Eagle Couriers.
663
00:33:42,061 --> 00:33:44,665
Is it true that your uncle,
who owns the bakery,
664
00:33:44,689 --> 00:33:47,442
is also a partial investor
in Eagle Couriers?
665
00:33:48,067 --> 00:33:50,820
I mean, I have the records
if you can't recall.
666
00:33:55,116 --> 00:33:57,886
My uncle's bakery
has been successful enough
667
00:33:57,910 --> 00:34:02,331
that, yes, he's been able
to make some additional investments.
668
00:34:03,082 --> 00:34:04,709
That's the American dream.
669
00:34:06,002 --> 00:34:07,170
Indeed, it is.
670
00:34:07,837 --> 00:34:11,466
I don't know, kid.
A guy like this is a pro.
671
00:34:11,966 --> 00:34:14,737
He's spent years covering his tracks.
672
00:34:14,761 --> 00:34:17,781
This prosecutor, Andrea,
she's beaten him ten straight times.
673
00:34:17,805 --> 00:34:20,367
- I don't think it's ten.
- It is. I counted. It was ten.
674
00:34:20,391 --> 00:34:25,414
What were you thinking?
A good DA could tear this all to shreds.
675
00:34:25,438 --> 00:34:28,399
That's why we had to make sure
she never got the chance.
676
00:34:29,192 --> 00:34:31,754
These are three more photographs
taken by my investigator.
677
00:34:31,778 --> 00:34:33,380
Each time you visited your father,
678
00:34:33,404 --> 00:34:37,217
you flew back the next day
and went straight to your uncle's bakery.
679
00:34:37,241 --> 00:34:40,429
About once every six weeks on average.
680
00:34:40,453 --> 00:34:44,141
So you mean to tell us, Mr. Grant,
that after every visit to your father,
681
00:34:44,165 --> 00:34:47,770
currently in prison for his association
with a crime syndicate,
682
00:34:47,794 --> 00:34:49,313
you visited your uncle,
683
00:34:49,337 --> 00:34:53,007
a former member of that syndicate
and your business partner,
684
00:34:54,050 --> 00:34:55,569
and it's just for the baklava?
685
00:34:55,593 --> 00:34:57,154
Objection, badgering.
686
00:34:57,178 --> 00:34:58,221
Overruled.
687
00:34:58,763 --> 00:35:01,658
- [suspenseful music continues]
- [scoffs]
688
00:35:01,682 --> 00:35:03,535
- [Grant] I...
- [cameras clicking]
689
00:35:03,559 --> 00:35:05,412
This is not what it looks like.
690
00:35:05,436 --> 00:35:08,290
Here's another possibility.
Maybe you're passing information...
691
00:35:08,314 --> 00:35:10,876
- Objection, speculation.
- Overruled.
692
00:35:10,900 --> 00:35:13,295
...from one member
of a criminal organization to another...
693
00:35:13,319 --> 00:35:15,547
- Badgering!
- Overruled, Ms. Freemann.
694
00:35:15,571 --> 00:35:19,534
...which would make you a member
of that criminal organization as well.
695
00:35:20,535 --> 00:35:22,120
Is that what it is, Mr. Grant?
696
00:35:22,787 --> 00:35:24,330
That's what it looks like.
697
00:35:24,956 --> 00:35:26,040
[sighs]
698
00:35:31,921 --> 00:35:32,755
Your Honor, uh...
699
00:35:35,967 --> 00:35:39,571
"On the advice of counsel,
pursuant to my Fifth Amendment right,
700
00:35:39,595 --> 00:35:44,433
I respectfully decline to answer this
or any further questions."
701
00:35:45,143 --> 00:35:46,495
[gallery clamoring]
702
00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:49,248
- [cameras clicking]
- Order! Order!
703
00:35:49,272 --> 00:35:52,584
I will have order,
or I will clear this courtroom!
704
00:35:52,608 --> 00:35:54,044
[clamoring continues]
705
00:35:54,068 --> 00:35:57,738
And I will see counsel
in my chambers right now!
706
00:35:58,739 --> 00:36:00,741
[suspenseful music swells]
707
00:36:05,830 --> 00:36:07,707
[Legal] Holy shit!
708
00:36:09,041 --> 00:36:12,187
"Nemo tenetur seipsum accusare."
709
00:36:12,211 --> 00:36:14,439
"No man can be made to accuse himself."
710
00:36:14,463 --> 00:36:16,841
That goes back to the 16th century.
711
00:36:17,508 --> 00:36:22,030
That's why the prosecution
can't force the defendant to testify
712
00:36:22,054 --> 00:36:23,532
if he doesn't want to.
713
00:36:23,556 --> 00:36:27,035
And the jury's not supposed to
infer that he's guilty
714
00:36:27,059 --> 00:36:29,329
if he doesn't want to answer questions.
715
00:36:29,353 --> 00:36:31,707
Usually applies to the defendant,
716
00:36:31,731 --> 00:36:35,294
but if the defense
puts somebody else on the stand
717
00:36:35,318 --> 00:36:38,380
and corners them into taking the Fifth,
718
00:36:38,404 --> 00:36:42,718
there's no way the jury's not gonna think
that they're guilty of something.
719
00:36:42,742 --> 00:36:44,136
That was kind of the idea.
720
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,431
You know how risky that is, kid?
The hot water you could get into?
721
00:36:47,455 --> 00:36:51,185
If I did it on purpose, sure,
but if it just happened...
722
00:36:51,209 --> 00:36:54,730
Mr. Haller, you know damn well
it is your duty to inform the court
723
00:36:54,754 --> 00:36:56,148
if you have any indication
724
00:36:56,172 --> 00:36:59,067
that a witness might be even
thinking about pleading the Fifth.
725
00:36:59,091 --> 00:37:01,904
I had no way to know
what this witness would do on the stand.
726
00:37:01,928 --> 00:37:04,388
- You gotta be fucking kidding me.
- [judge] Ms. Freemann.
727
00:37:04,889 --> 00:37:06,950
You will conduct yourself
with professionalism
728
00:37:06,974 --> 00:37:10,787
when you are in my chambers
and in my court, is that understood?
729
00:37:10,811 --> 00:37:12,271
I apologize, Your Honor.
730
00:37:13,397 --> 00:37:15,209
She's got a fucking point, Counsel.
731
00:37:15,233 --> 00:37:18,879
Mr. Grant agreed to testify
at the motion to quash.
732
00:37:18,903 --> 00:37:22,007
He didn't plead the Fifth then.
I had no way to know he'd do it now.
733
00:37:22,031 --> 00:37:23,800
No. [exhales deeply]
734
00:37:23,824 --> 00:37:26,303
He planted the story in the jury's minds.
735
00:37:26,327 --> 00:37:29,473
Now that his witness has pled the Fifth,
I can't cross-examine him.
736
00:37:29,497 --> 00:37:32,643
Your Honor, he has manipulated
the entire trial with this stunt.
737
00:37:32,667 --> 00:37:33,560
Oh, come on.
738
00:37:33,584 --> 00:37:37,731
Mr. Haller, if I find any evidence
that this was premeditated,
739
00:37:37,755 --> 00:37:40,508
I will bring you up
on disciplinary charges with the bar.
740
00:37:41,217 --> 00:37:44,279
As it is, I am striking
the witness's testimony. All of it.
741
00:37:44,303 --> 00:37:46,698
Your Honor,
there's no unringing this bell.
742
00:37:46,722 --> 00:37:48,492
I understand, Ms. Freemann,
743
00:37:48,516 --> 00:37:52,287
but unless you have proof that Mr. Haller
was planning this from the start,
744
00:37:52,311 --> 00:37:54,272
I am not granting a mistrial.
745
00:37:55,564 --> 00:37:58,418
I will instruct the jury
that they may not infer guilt
746
00:37:58,442 --> 00:38:01,171
from Mr. Grant's refusal
to answer questions.
747
00:38:01,195 --> 00:38:03,298
You still had a problem though.
748
00:38:03,322 --> 00:38:06,843
Sure, once you got this guy
to plead the Fifth,
749
00:38:06,867 --> 00:38:09,346
the jury would assume he was guilty.
750
00:38:09,370 --> 00:38:11,056
But guilty of what?
751
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,393
All you did was show that
he might be a criminal.
752
00:38:14,417 --> 00:38:18,188
You still didn't have anything concrete
to connect him to the murder.
753
00:38:18,212 --> 00:38:21,048
Well, we did have
one more trick up our sleeve.
754
00:38:22,466 --> 00:38:25,821
Mr. Wojciechowski, is it okay if
I make our court reporter's life easier?
755
00:38:25,845 --> 00:38:27,388
Just call you Dennis?
756
00:38:28,639 --> 00:38:29,473
Works for me.
757
00:38:30,391 --> 00:38:32,393
Can you tell us what you do for a living?
758
00:38:33,227 --> 00:38:34,788
I'm your investigator.
759
00:38:34,812 --> 00:38:36,123
[laughter]
760
00:38:36,147 --> 00:38:37,833
[Mickey] And on this case,
761
00:38:37,857 --> 00:38:41,878
did your work for me lead you
to investigate any person in particular?
762
00:38:41,902 --> 00:38:44,381
Yes. Uh, Alex Grant.
763
00:38:44,405 --> 00:38:46,508
What did you learn about Mr. Grant?
764
00:38:46,532 --> 00:38:50,053
Well, I followed him repeatedly
from the airport
765
00:38:50,077 --> 00:38:52,514
to his uncle's bakery in Glendale.
766
00:38:52,538 --> 00:38:53,432
[Andrea] Objection.
767
00:38:53,456 --> 00:38:57,102
Mr. Grant's testimony has been stricken.
It's no longer relevant to our trial.
768
00:38:57,126 --> 00:38:58,478
To the contrary, Your Honor.
769
00:38:58,502 --> 00:39:01,315
This witness's testimony
will demonstrate the relevance.
770
00:39:01,339 --> 00:39:02,774
[sternly] Just get on with it.
771
00:39:02,798 --> 00:39:04,860
Understood. So, Dennis,
772
00:39:04,884 --> 00:39:07,696
why did Mr. Grant's visits
to his uncle interest you?
773
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:09,781
Because I discovered something else.
774
00:39:09,805 --> 00:39:15,311
Something that seemingly tied Mr. Grant
directly to Mitchell Bondurant's murder.
775
00:39:16,604 --> 00:39:18,081
Can you tell us what that was?
776
00:39:18,105 --> 00:39:23,837
Well, Mr. Bondurant's garage only had
cameras at the entrance and the exit.
777
00:39:23,861 --> 00:39:27,257
There were no unusual vehicles
coming or going that day.
778
00:39:27,281 --> 00:39:28,550
Yes, we established that.
779
00:39:28,574 --> 00:39:31,011
[Cisco] But on the building
across the street,
780
00:39:31,035 --> 00:39:33,263
there's a camera, an old one,
781
00:39:33,287 --> 00:39:36,933
that takes still photographs
once every minute,
782
00:39:36,957 --> 00:39:40,753
and it captures
the side of the Bondurant building.
783
00:39:41,253 --> 00:39:42,522
[Mickey] Defense T, Your Honor.
784
00:39:42,546 --> 00:39:46,467
This footage was previously
given to the prosecution in discovery.
785
00:39:47,093 --> 00:39:52,032
Well, I studied the photos
to see if Ms. Trammell was in any of them.
786
00:39:52,056 --> 00:39:54,934
She wasn't.
But I noticed someone else who was.
787
00:39:56,185 --> 00:40:02,900
Eagle Couriers, which is co-owned
by Mr. Grant and his uncle.
788
00:40:03,526 --> 00:40:06,213
How long was this truck parked
outside Mr. Bondurant's building?
789
00:40:06,237 --> 00:40:10,241
Truck was there from 8:19 a.m. until 9:05.
790
00:40:11,117 --> 00:40:12,761
And why was this of note?
791
00:40:12,785 --> 00:40:15,621
[Cisco] Because,
according to the medical examiner,
792
00:40:16,205 --> 00:40:19,500
the murder occurred
between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m.
793
00:40:20,167 --> 00:40:21,561
[hushed chatter]
794
00:40:21,585 --> 00:40:23,021
[suspenseful music playing]
795
00:40:23,045 --> 00:40:24,880
[cameras clicking]
796
00:40:26,882 --> 00:40:29,093
Thank you, Dennis. Nothing further.
797
00:40:31,637 --> 00:40:34,241
All right, we're already behind
on our afternoon break,
798
00:40:34,265 --> 00:40:35,784
so let's take it now.
799
00:40:35,808 --> 00:40:36,785
Thirty minutes.
800
00:40:36,809 --> 00:40:39,395
Then we'll reconvene
for cross-examination.
801
00:40:40,646 --> 00:40:43,250
[Legal] Unbelievable. Excellent work.
802
00:40:43,274 --> 00:40:45,460
I give you an A for your presentation.
803
00:40:45,484 --> 00:40:47,129
You, on the other hand,
804
00:40:47,153 --> 00:40:50,757
I give you a D-minus for legal ethics
805
00:40:50,781 --> 00:40:53,093
but A-plus for strategy.
806
00:40:53,117 --> 00:40:56,328
Kid, even he wouldn't have
come up with this one.
807
00:40:57,079 --> 00:41:00,642
It's quarter to 4:00.
Your recess is almost over.
808
00:41:00,666 --> 00:41:05,272
Now, you're gonna go back in there,
and she's gonna cross-examine you.
809
00:41:05,296 --> 00:41:09,818
And then the jury will go home
and stew on this all night.
810
00:41:09,842 --> 00:41:10,944
It's brilliant.
811
00:41:10,968 --> 00:41:12,988
I just got one more question.
812
00:41:13,012 --> 00:41:15,514
You came up with this on the fly?
813
00:41:16,140 --> 00:41:17,159
[Lorna] Uh,
814
00:41:17,183 --> 00:41:18,368
not exactly.
815
00:41:18,392 --> 00:41:19,453
Like I said,
816
00:41:19,477 --> 00:41:21,955
we knew all along
that the evidence was too strong.
817
00:41:21,979 --> 00:41:25,608
So, Mickey knew we had to have
the press there for the pre-trial hearing.
818
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,295
I couldn't have him take the Fifth then.
819
00:41:28,319 --> 00:41:30,547
Because you had to get him to trial,
820
00:41:30,571 --> 00:41:33,365
so he could do it now,
in front of the jury.
821
00:41:33,991 --> 00:41:35,159
[elevator dings]
822
00:41:37,453 --> 00:41:38,972
Well, thanks for sticking around.
823
00:41:38,996 --> 00:41:43,501
You kidding me?
Being back here is like oxygen.
824
00:41:44,043 --> 00:41:45,711
You go ahead. I'll be right in.
825
00:41:49,965 --> 00:41:52,801
Agent Vasquez,
what brings the FBI to State Court?
826
00:41:53,302 --> 00:41:55,012
This wasn't our deal, Haller.
827
00:41:55,763 --> 00:41:57,157
What are you talking about?
828
00:41:57,181 --> 00:42:00,619
I gave you what you needed
to get Alex Grant to testify,
829
00:42:00,643 --> 00:42:02,102
not to plead the Fifth.
830
00:42:02,770 --> 00:42:03,687
You used me.
831
00:42:04,271 --> 00:42:06,875
Well, I think that goes both ways,
don't you?
832
00:42:06,899 --> 00:42:10,110
You have your job to do, and I have mine.
833
00:42:11,904 --> 00:42:14,758
Well, I'll tell you what the Bureau has.
834
00:42:14,782 --> 00:42:16,200
A long memory.
835
00:42:16,784 --> 00:42:18,595
I'll see you around, Counselor.
836
00:42:18,619 --> 00:42:21,247
[mysterious music playing]
837
00:42:25,834 --> 00:42:28,563
Ms. Freemann, cross-examination?
838
00:42:28,587 --> 00:42:31,924
No, Your Honor.
I have no questions for this witness.
839
00:42:32,466 --> 00:42:35,135
[judge] Very well. The witness is excused.
840
00:42:35,678 --> 00:42:36,554
Mr. Haller?
841
00:42:37,054 --> 00:42:38,156
[clears throat]
842
00:42:38,180 --> 00:42:39,848
Your Honor, the defense rests.
843
00:42:40,599 --> 00:42:43,078
Excellent. Rebuttal witnesses?
844
00:42:43,102 --> 00:42:44,538
None, Your Honor.
845
00:42:44,562 --> 00:42:45,688
Even better.
846
00:42:46,272 --> 00:42:50,377
In that case,
seeing as it is late, why don't we...
847
00:42:50,401 --> 00:42:53,279
Your Honor, the people are ready
to move to closing now.
848
00:42:56,198 --> 00:42:57,342
[Mickey] Uh,
849
00:42:57,366 --> 00:43:00,554
may I suggest we adjourn for the evening
and begin closing in the morning?
850
00:43:00,578 --> 00:43:02,580
- We have 20 minutes left.
- It's okay.
851
00:43:04,081 --> 00:43:05,433
I'll only need ten.
852
00:43:05,457 --> 00:43:08,210
[suspenseful music playing]
853
00:43:17,219 --> 00:43:19,888
Well, that was quite a performance,
wasn't it?
854
00:43:20,639 --> 00:43:23,368
Mr. Haller pulled out all the stops.
855
00:43:23,392 --> 00:43:25,894
I mean, a dog and pony show.
856
00:43:27,187 --> 00:43:29,749
He could give the magicians in Las Vegas
a run for their money.
857
00:43:29,773 --> 00:43:31,376
[laughter]
858
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,612
But, just like a magician,
859
00:43:35,446 --> 00:43:38,675
all the defense is trying to do
is distract you.
860
00:43:38,699 --> 00:43:40,200
That's all they've got.
861
00:43:41,702 --> 00:43:47,309
Now, Mr. Haller wants you to believe
that just because a man named Alex Grant
862
00:43:47,333 --> 00:43:51,855
has a questionable family history,
that makes him a killer.
863
00:43:51,879 --> 00:43:56,985
Or that he had a vague business dispute
with Mr. Bondurant,
864
00:43:57,009 --> 00:43:59,011
and that was motive for murder.
865
00:43:59,845 --> 00:44:04,075
Or maybe he doesn't actually care
if you believe those things or not.
866
00:44:04,099 --> 00:44:09,205
Maybe he's just happy if
it diverts your attention from the facts
867
00:44:09,229 --> 00:44:12,292
because the facts of this case
are immutable.
868
00:44:12,316 --> 00:44:16,546
The murder weapon
was not Alex Grant's bloody hammer.
869
00:44:16,570 --> 00:44:18,739
That belonged to the defendant,
Lisa Trammell.
870
00:44:20,616 --> 00:44:23,345
The gloves we found
with Mitchell Bondurant's blood on them,
871
00:44:23,369 --> 00:44:26,205
again Lisa Trammell's.
872
00:44:26,747 --> 00:44:28,016
Unlike Alex Grant,
873
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:33,480
Lisa Trammell had the motive, the means,
and the opportunity to commit murder.
874
00:44:33,504 --> 00:44:35,273
Unlike Alex Grant,
875
00:44:35,297 --> 00:44:41,071
Lisa Trammell repeatedly made
damning, even threatening, statements
876
00:44:41,095 --> 00:44:43,806
to and about the victim.
877
00:44:46,225 --> 00:44:49,913
In fact, her conduct was so threatening
878
00:44:49,937 --> 00:44:54,650
that it forced Mitchell Bondurant to
take out a restraining order against her.
879
00:44:55,526 --> 00:44:58,213
But, of course,
a restraining order only works
880
00:44:58,237 --> 00:45:01,740
if the person being restrained
chooses to obey it.
881
00:45:04,159 --> 00:45:06,537
Just like a magic trick only works
882
00:45:07,329 --> 00:45:10,999
if the audience allows themselves
to be fooled.
883
00:45:12,876 --> 00:45:14,586
Don't let yourselves be fooled.
884
00:45:15,254 --> 00:45:17,840
See through Mr. Haller's parlor tricks.
885
00:45:18,382 --> 00:45:19,901
See through them...

I'm sorry. I'm just finding it difficult
to breathe at the moment.

Oh, Jesus.
I can go to prison tomorrow, Mickey.
892
00:46:05,095 --> 00:46:06,138
Hey, hey.
893
00:46:07,306 --> 00:46:10,642
Lisa, I'm doing everything in my power
to make sure that doesn't happen.
894
00:46:11,643 --> 00:46:12,478

[Lorna] Andale, Mickey.
We have to work on your closing.
897
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:21,528
I'll be right out.
898
00:46:24,364 --> 00:46:26,950
I have to go. It's gonna be a late night.
899
00:46:27,701 --> 00:46:28,577
Right.
900
00:46:31,205 --> 00:46:32,790
I can bring you some food.
901
00:46:34,208 --> 00:46:35,959
I'm not sure that's the best idea.
902
00:46:38,003 --> 00:46:40,774
Well, I mean,
René can bring you something.
903
00:46:40,798 --> 00:46:42,800
It's the least I can do, Mickey.
904
00:46:45,010 --> 00:46:46,821
Maybe some of that pozole, then?

[tense music playing]

[Lorna] She killed us with that closing.
Now we gotta hit back.

Start with the evidence and work your way
to the emotion or the other way around?

- I think we should...
- [René] Hello?

[gasps] Yes, dinner.

[René and Lorna speak Spanish]

[in English] Can I ask you something?
What's this guy got to do with it?
919
00:47:36,812 --> 00:47:38,665
- [Lorna] The building inspector?
- Yeah.
920
00:47:38,689 --> 00:47:42,109
I saw him at the courthouse, too,
but isn't he with the Health Department?
921
00:47:42,860 --> 00:47:45,839
Health Department?
Walter Kim is a city building inspector.
922
00:47:45,863 --> 00:47:47,674
No, no. That's the same guy.
923
00:47:47,698 --> 00:47:49,843
He came by the restaurant
to do a surprise check.
924
00:47:49,867 --> 00:47:52,703
I remember 'cause it was the day
before Lisa got arrested.
925
00:47:55,414 --> 00:47:57,082
[hesitates] The day before?
926
00:47:58,458 --> 00:48:01,896
When he was inspecting the restaurant,
did he have access to Lisa's garage?
927
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,148
Yeah. The gas line runs through it.
928
00:48:04,172 --> 00:48:05,942
Did you go in with him?
929
00:48:05,966 --> 00:48:08,969
[René] No, I mean,
it was the middle of a lunch rush.
930
00:48:10,721 --> 00:48:12,764
[Mickey] Where are the files
on The Terrazzo?
931
00:48:15,350 --> 00:48:16,160
Here.

[pensive music playing]
933
00:48:22,816 --> 00:48:25,753
It was Walter Kim. He's the one
who signed off on the inspections.
934
00:48:25,777 --> 00:48:28,155
That's who Alex Grant
was paying the bribes to.

[scoffs]
936
00:48:33,243 --> 00:48:35,430
When Bondurant sent the email
threatening Grant,
937
00:48:35,454 --> 00:48:37,164
he was threatening Kim too.
938
00:48:37,664 --> 00:48:41,185
Kim's signature is on the paperwork,
so he had no protection.
939
00:48:41,209 --> 00:48:45,189
Which means he had everything to lose.
His home. His family.
940
00:48:45,213 --> 00:48:46,506
His American dream.
941
00:48:47,215 --> 00:48:49,944
He knew about
Lisa's anger at Bondurant too.
942
00:48:49,968 --> 00:48:51,929
He's the one who took this picture.
943
00:48:52,596 --> 00:48:54,490
He knew she'd be perfect to frame.
944
00:48:54,514 --> 00:48:56,784
You think
Walter Kim killed Mitchell Bondurant?
945
00:48:56,808 --> 00:49:01,146
Maybe. Maybe he knows who did.
Maybe Alex Grant put him up to it.

- I'm already on it.

We need him.

Well, his wife reported him missing
two days ago.

He never came home from work.
