Previously on "All Rise"...

I'm running for
State Attorney General.

If you would look

into Judge Benner's time
at Slefinger & Feste.

I was hoping you could talk
to me about the Cuprillon case.

Six months after we settled,

an anonymous source leaked
internal docs--

proof that Cuprillon knew
it was poisoning its workers

and did nothing to stop it.

- Have you met my son Ben?
- Your name is Ben Benner.

I hope she doesn't get
too comfortable up there

because it's not
gonna last.

Palmer is leading a renegade
charge from the D.A.'s office

claiming that you are judicially
biased towards your defendants.

There was one thing
we weren't able to address--

Travis Bolson.What about him?

- He died.
- Yes, he did.

I love you.

Okay, the only weird thing--

Judge Benner
still doesn't know.

Ben Benner hasn't told her yet,
which, I mean, thank God.

I'm gonna need a strategy
to deal

with that little piece
of awkwardness.Ben Benner?

I know, I know.
I'm calling him that now, too.

Weird to think Judge Benner
could soon be

dropping off muffins

or whatever
your boyfriend's mother does.

You have been
on two dates.

Both of which I will remind you
went spectacularly well.

Oh, I know. I heard.

- Sorry.

- Hunting an appeal.
- Never gonna happen.

But I will take his cash.[ cellphone bloops ]

No.

She's going to give me

Exciting times.

Full report, which I suspect
you could also give me,

You have had, I must say,

all in all
an exemplary career.

Which is why I would make
an awesome Attorney General.

I have the experience,
the vision.

There's just one thing
we need to--

Cuprillon Industries.

Your first gig.
Private practice.

A client with a workplace
that poisoned its workers.

Your firm withheld
key documents.
A memo.

- A memo.
- Yes.

Which showed Cuprillon
knew about the toxicity

and failed to act.

Because you withheld
the documents,

payouts were lower,
and workers got screwed.

So it was two
of the senior partners,

and when it came out,
they were disbarred.

It's all
on the public record.

The other seven of us
on the team had no clue

what was going on.You didn't know?

I had no idea
the memo existed.

None of us did,
not until later.

Half the time, you know what I'm

One of the brothers,

the other brother Troy.

However, Douglas always
maintained his innocence.

What does this have to do
with Teflon Mitch?

I'm trying to tell you.
Douglas claimed

that an intruder
killed his brother,

that Troy heard someone

it was my job

end up using.

Somebody had been smoking
cigarettes in the backyard.

We assumed it was
one of the brothers,

but it could've been--The intruder

It's making me nauseous.

Okay, okay. How about
you go to Judge Campbell,

give him a heads up
that you saw it

and that the lawyer might
see it, too, and then you--

Ugh. I spent three days
in his courtroom,

and he never spoke to me

or looked at me.
Not once.

Oof.

The man scares me.

Thank you.

It's research on PTSD.
- Mm.

Heartbreaking.

When you have it,

you can't remember the trauma
without reliving it.

- That's so awful.
- There you are, just--

You're just in some bar.

Someone looks at you
a certain way,

touches you by mistake,
and boom.

All those feelings
and that fear...

And anything
can trigger it--

a sound, a smell.

Three words?

Yeah.

And it all comes
rushing back.

Look, I just have to say that
honestly, the whole concept

of mental health diversion
eludes me.

You are either responsible
for your actions,

or you are legally insane.

Not true.
Diminished actuality.

Legal unconsciousness.

It's an end run around,
actual criminal liability.

You are nothing, Jonas,
if not predictable.

There are reasons why this
defendant hasn't had treatment.

- I agree with Judge Carmichael.
- No, you don't.

- You do?
- These poor souls can't afford

medication or doctors.
- Are you trying to get my goat?

Well, perhaps, if we lived
in Canada or Sweden,

maybe then we wouldn't have
this epidemic of the untreated.

- That's exactly right.
- 40% of the prison population

has mental health issues.
- 46.

- How many of them are veterans?
- More than is comfortable.

No, the system is not working,
my young friend,

and why shouldn't the judiciary
take the lead?

I'll tell you exactly why
and at some length.

It's not worth the risk,
that's why.

What if he reoffends?
Another bar fight,

except this time
he kills somebody?

Who wants that
on their conscience...again?

That was a cheap shot.

Of course.
I know. I apologize.

Travis Bolson is
a completely different--

Except that it
really isn't.

- Isn't what?
- That different.

And the only reason
Maggie Palmer

isn't bludgeoning you with it
is because she's sucking up.

If I choose
to trust a defendant--

Oh, I find it fascinating,
Carmichael,

who you choose to trust
and who you choose to judge.

You think I'm judging you?

What else
would you call it?You asked me.

I made a mistake,
and I fixed it.

No, you didn't.
Stop saying you fixed it.

Why can't you give me
the benefit of--

You came to me.
You asked me to dig around.

You must have known that I
would find all of this.

I could make
a genuine difference.

You know that I could.That is not the issue here.

Yes, it is.

Everything
that we stand for--

all the change that you
want to see happen.

Don't do that.Sentencing reform,

diversion program.
Lisa.

I want you to be a part
of it, Carmichael,

all of it,
a part of my team.

In exchange for what?
Keeping your secret?

Defending you
when this comes out?

And how is that
gonna look in the press?

Not one but two sitting judges
saying that it is okay

to break attorney--No one is going to
ask you to--

You violated your duty of
loyalty to your client, Lisa.

Youdid that, and you
should have been disbarred.

And now I could be disbarred
for not reporting it.

I think that you're
overstating your--

I don't think I am.

Your good intentions

You're off the case, Sam.

Do not sit down.

Is Douglas Wardle
innocent or not?

Answer the question.

Yes.

Then you're gonna fix it,
and I got your back.

All rise.

Department 61 of
the Los Angeles Superior Court

is now in session.
Judge Jonas Laski presiding.

All right, Mr. Callan,
if you're sufficiently healthy,

we can get this thing
back on the rails.

Let's get the jury in here.

Your Honor, the People move

to dismiss the charges
in this case

under Penal Code
section 1385.

- Wait. What?
- Really?

The People aren't confident

that we can prove this case
beyond a reasonable doubt.

No argument here,
Your Honor.

Okey-doke.

Motion granted.

Case dismissed.

Yes.

[ indistinct chatter ]

Detective?

Mitchell Sanderly,
you're under arrest

for the murder of Troy Wardle.

Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa. What the hell, Callan?

New evidence has come
to light, Your Honor--

enough to make an arrest.You're gonna do this
in the middle of the courtroom?

I have a warrant
for a buccal swab.

We're gonna go ahead and harvest
the DNA of your client.

This is because you were losing.[ gavel banging ]

Go! Get him outta here.
Go! Get him out!All right.

[ exhales deeply ]

Poor Mitch. He's gonna need
a new nickname.

[ exhales deeply ]

It's called hyperarousal.
Patients are reckless,

self-destructive,
aggressive outbursts.

In your opinion,
is there a connection

between the alleged crime
and a diagnosis of PTSD?

A direct connection.

Tommy's PTSD
causes hyperarousal.

In this case, that is
exactly what happened

the night of the bar fight.

And what impact would treatment
have on my client?

Tommy's aggressive behavior
would stop.

Thank you, doctor.

Ms. Palmer, any questions?

Has PTSD robbed Tommy
of his faculties?

I'm sorry. I don't
understand the question.

Does it make him hallucinate?
Does he know who he is?

Where he is?
Who he's talking to?
Yes.

Is he capable
of making choices, doctor?

For example, the choice
of whether or not

to attack someone with a bottle.
- Objection, Your Honor.

Inflammatory.Overruled. Careful, Ms. Palmer.

Of course he does. PTSD--

Doctor, if Tommy
goes into treatment,

if he receives medication,
it's still possible

that he will reoffend,
is it not?

There's always a risk.Could he kill someone,
doctor?

Objection.
Calls for speculation.

I'm simply trying
to establish whether--Sustained.

That's enough, Ms. Palmer.

Thank you, doctor.
Nothing further.

The witness may step down.

Your Honor, we've outlined
a treatment plan--

Yes, thank you, counsel.
I've read it.

[ clears throat ]

Your Honor?

And why should I believe
that you're committed

to this treatment,
Mr. Farrell?

Your Honor, if I could have
just one minute?

One minute.

Tommy, look at me. Tommy.

Ever since you've come back,

you have been running
from what happened.

And you have to stop
and turn and face it...

now.

If you'd asked me last week,

I'd have said I don't need
a doctor or treatment.

I need a job.

You know, everyone always says
"Move on," so...I tried.

I did.

But...

it's not working right.

And this feels like this...

really feels like
this could be...a chance to...

I want to get better,
Your Honor.

Um, Judge Campbell,
the instructions to the jury--

you left out a paragraph.

The Union
of Act and Intent provision

per Penal Code section 20.My dear, I am sure
you're mistaken.

Sir--I've never done anything
remotely like that in my life.

I appreciate that, sir,
but this time--

Young lady, your transcription
is incorrect.

All right?
The error is yours.

Now perhaps we can both of us
can get back to work here.

It's Ms. Castillo.

Excuse me?

Or, uh, Sara, if you must,

but not "young lady"
and not "my dear."

Now, it is unlikely that I
would miss a single word.

The notion that I could

miss an entire paragraph
is laughable.

I mean,
I don't make mistakes.

Now, sir, you give
these instructions every day.

You went on autopilot
for a split second.

Judges have been known
to skip an entire page.

Now I had the courtesy
to let you know.

I'd appreciate
if you had the courtesy

to treat me
as a professional.

Stop!

You're right.

Ms. Castillo, I do apologize.
That was impertinent.

If it was my error
and it's exposed,

I will pay
that particular piper.

Thank you.

If you'd ever like
to change judges,

you come find me.

The defendant Tommy

stands there in front of me
making promises,

and I want for him
to be better, to succeed.

I ache for him
for what he's been through.

But at the same time,

I have a responsibility
to the man that he hurt,

to the people
he could hurt next.

That's the job.I know it's the job.

I just have to...
Grapple.

Grapple! I am grappling.

You're a grappler.
Grappler.

So Judge Benner leaked
the memo

that brought
Cuprillon down.

When you were fighting,
I was listening at the door.

Sherri, you can't--Get over it.
I shouldn't have to.

If I'm gonna protect you,
you need to tell me things.

It's not your job
to protect me.

Now, Tommy--pros and cons.

Let's talk it out.
I will tell you what to do,

at which point you will proceed
to do the exact opposite.

What are you doing here?

Sorry for just showing up.
I should have texted.

That's okay. I was working.
I'm so behind.

I just thought if I asked
if I could come over,

you'd probably say no.

So listen--I've been avoiding you.
I'm sorry.

It's okay.
It's incredibly awkward

working in the same courtroom.
- That's not why--

And obviously we can't
discuss the case.

I've been running away.
That's why we haven't talked--

It's okay.
Not from you.

From what you said,
and that's not fair.

We don't have to talk about it.
That's not why I'm here.

I have a question for you.

What?

If you could only eat pizza
for the rest of your life,

every meal, or only eat fries,
which would it be?

Take your time.

That's easy. Pizza.
Multiple food groups.

Yeah. If you had to lose
your arms or your legs...

- Legs.
- Mm!

[ laughs ]Uh, no books or no music
for the rest of your life?

Oh, that's a good one.

Mm-hmm.

- Oh, damn.
- Mm.

Huh.

Hmm.

Mmm. Mmm. [ laughs ]

This entire diversion exercise
is ill-advised.

Carmichael's trying
to force me to--

The kid is a repeat violent.

He needs to go to prison
for many years.

I forget. When did you
serve in uniform?

When did you see combat?Excuse me?

I mean, do you think
maybe it's possible

that different rules
apply in this case,

given who Tommy is
and what he's done?

Maybe having a little bit
of compassion,

looking beyond the obvious
and addressing the real problem?

And keeping this guy
out of custody

isn't such a crazy idea.

- I'm looking for Mark Callan.
- He's right there.

You're wrong,
and I'm gonna tell you why.

I'm sure you are.

Rhonda McRhonda.

Quite the spectacle, Callan.
Are you pleased with yourself?

Ready to cut a deal?

Ms. McReady, Thomas Choi.

Uh, we could talk
in my office.

Samantha,
if you wouldn't mind?

Hi, uh, yeah.
Just through here.

I told you to leave it alone,
and you didn't.

- I know, but--
- You were showboating.

We put an innocent man
in jail.

And we have a process
to deal with that.

It would have taken them
months, years.

For good reason--

so that we don't
screw it up again.

[ sighs ]
Look, when you pull
this kind of crap--

Thomas.I gave you a direct order,
and you ignored it.

I am sending you home.

I'm serious. Pack your stuff.
You're benched.

Mr. Farrell, I am satisfied

was there a voice
