All language subtitles for Episode 09 Who Are We Now

Hi.

Hi.

Have you seen Seth?

No.
Okay, cool.

If you see him, can you
tell him I'm looking for him?

Yep, no problem.

Are you looking
for Leonard?

No, Seth.

I'm gonna call him.

He doesn't
have his phone.

I have his phone.

Why do you have
Leonard's phone?

No, she's gonna
call Seth.

I'm calling Roger.

About Leonard or Seth?

Where are you?

Where are you?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

I'm picking up
the tickets.

I have the tickets.

What tickets?
Where are you?

Who is that?
Jill.

Yes?

Can you ask her
if she's seen Jay?

Yeah, he's right here.

Is that Seth?
Can I?

Hey.
Hey.

Hey.
Hey.

How's it going?

Has he seen Leonard?

He's right here.

What are you all
doing here?

There's something weird
going on.

Yes.
I'm looking at --

Wait, why did you
just say yes?

Because I'm looking at your
office standing in my office.

I'm looking at your office
standing in my office.

Is this like the Herschel Walker
trade of the Southern District?

Is he in your office
or this office?

Herschel Walker.
He played football.

He was traded from
the Dallas Cowboys

to the Minnesota Vikings.

18 players.

They basically
swapped teams.

I don't follow sport.

"Sport"?
Who says "sport"?

God, you did a semester
in England, didn't you?

University of East Anglia.

How long did you have an accent
when you got back?

Two years.

That's why
you drink tea.

No. I drink tea because
it's calming.

Really? I find all
the leaves stressful.

I'm worried I'm gonna
swallow a leaf.

Have you tried meditation?

Who has time?

They say you only
need a minute.

Who says that?
I don't know,
the meditation lobby.

Jill: Sandra!

Yeah,
I'm seeing it here, too.

Bye.
Bye.

It's good to be home.

Why are you holding
two phones?

Jill: Okay, good news --

Andrew and his husband
just got matched

with a baby girl to adopt.

- Wow!
-Amazing!
! So happy for them.

So that means we all
need to pitch in

and help him out
while he's gone.

-We're here.
-Anything.
-Of course.

Obviously, the big thing
is the Betty Baker trial.

That's Andrew?
Did not realize.

Right now,
she's just being tried

for the East Midtown
Mutual Bank robbery,

but if you've even
glanced at a tabloid

in the last six months,

you know they suspect her

in a string of other robberies
around Manhattan.

It's a tough case.

Facts are bad.

Government isn't
offering anything.

And there's
a sympathetic eyewitness

who was shot in the bank.

And the trial starts
in two days.

I have a verdict coming in,
unfortunately.

Love Andrew,
but I'm buried right now.

So happy for him and Dan.

Don't be nervous.

Easy for you to say.

How many bombs did you
diffuse in Kandahar?

One too few.

Well, more than anyone
on that jury.

They're gonna
find me guilty.

We don't know that.

You have a good story.

That I cashed my dead mom's
Social Security checks?

That you shed blood
for your country

and your injuries
meant unemployment,

which was nowhere
near sufficient --

Which has nothing to do
with their verdict.

That has everything to do
with your sentence.

You are a veteran.

You do not deserve
to be put in a position

where the only way
you could afford

to put a roof
over your head

was to commit a crime.

Even if the jury
finds you guilty --

and I'm not saying
they will --

the judge will understand
what you've been through.

I feel good about this.

Guilty.

Remember,
this is not the ballgame.

Mr. Hardin, we're gonna
set a sentencing date.

At that time, I will consider
any arguments your lawyer

wants to make on your behalf,

but having heard the evidence
against you,

I do want to be clear --

what you did
was deceitful and wrong.

It requires a penalty
that will send a message --

to deter this kind of conduct

and address the seriousness
of your crime.

Jill: Sounds like
Judge Guillotine.

It's Gallatin.
No, it's Guillotine.

The way you're saying it,

it sounds like the thing
with the heavy blade

that chops off heads.

Last time I was in front
of Guillotine,

he sent my client to prison

because he said
it was time for her to

"learn
a little life lesson."

She was 91.

Great.

What am I gonna do?

This might be time for you
to consider film school.

Thank you for the vote
of confidence.

A sentencing
mitigation video.

A video.

A short film to show
Chris' story in images

in a way you can't
in briefings and arguments.

This is a real thing?
Absolutely real.

And incredibly effective
in the right situations.
Okay.

Well,
the last movie I made

was this little spy camera
I set up in the laundromat --

No, no.

You need a professional
for this.
Even better.

Someone who knows
how to use music,

narration, real emotion.

Who do I contact?

No idea.

Well, what kind of budget
do we have?

No budget.

I've heard about these,

but so far as I know,

nobody in this office
has actually made one.

I'm sorry.

You just got me excited
about something I can't do.

Possibly.

If you do go down this road,
though,

and I really think you should,
it should be good, tasteful.

Otherwise,
it can really backfire.

Let me know how it goes.

Tasteful?

Me?

Betty: Have you ever
been to Paris?

It's on my list.

Illinois.

Paris, Illinois.

No.
Is that...really a place?

I'm not judging.
I'm from Sacramento.

It's a place
where nothing happens.

What got me through
was knowing that someday

I would move to New York.

I felt like when
I got here,

that's when my life
would really start.

And now...

You're here.

I know.

I'm sorry.

I've been getting up to speed
on your case, Betty,

and I see two big hurdles
for us in this trial.

One is the receipt
found at the bank

that was traced back
to your credit card,

and the other is
the eyewitness testimony

from the man who was shot.

We can fight the receipt.

I feel confident about that,

but the eyewitness will
be...more challenging.

It's one person.

Yes, but if
he's credible --

How credible can he be
if he's lying?

I don't trust
anyone anymore.

I completely understand.

I was like that, too.

What changed?

I guess I did.

I realized people
on the other side

can also be on my side.

Yeah, that's crazy.

You were right
the first time.

Don't trust anybody.

Hi!
Hi!

I love your shoes.

You can't see my shoes.

I don't need to see them
to know I love them.

I could be wearing those shoes
with the articulated toes.
No, you couldn't.

Your taste is way
too good for that.

Weird time to admit
I own a pair?

Can I help you
with something?

They're actually great
for natural foot motion.

Is this another
side business?

I remember you were peddling
water filters at one point.

That was my dad.

If you're interested,
we still have 10,757 left.

What do you want?

So, we have a client...
"We"?

...and our client
is being sentenced,

and Jill recommended
a sentencing video,

which is why I need you.

I don't know how
to make a movie.

Neither do I, but at least
you know about movies,

and what's your
favorite movie?

"Lost in Translation."

No idea what that is.

My favorite movie
is about a talking St. Bernard,

and it's not "Beethoven."

Beethoven didn't talk.

Really?

I do have a friend
in film school.

Of course you do.
I'll introduce you,

but we are not doing this
together.

Hey, do your thing.

Just let me be a fly
on the wall.

No, I mean,
I'll introduce you, but --

Listen, it's either
help me on this,

or you get dragged
into her trial.

You have to lose the shoes.

This is Kate.

Hey, it's me.

Have you sent over
a witness list yet?

Not yet.
Okay.

I'm obviously under a bit
of a time crunch here.

Right, I realize that,
which is why, I mean,

technically,
I'm not even required...

Never mind.

I'll get it to you
within the next two hours.

Great.
Thank you so much.

And the trial exhibits?

Yes. On their way.
Fantastic.

Thank you!

This is Sandra.

I just want to confirm
that defense

does not plan to file any
additional motions in limine?

Not as of yet.

Does that mean defense
is still considering some?

No, it just means
that defense,

meaning me,
still has time to decide.

I will file them
on time.

What do you mean by
"on time"?

Kate, no motions, okay?

Okay.
Thank you.

I'm 95% sure.

Agent Brentano, can you please
look at Government Exhibit 4

and explain to the jury
what it is?

It's a receipt in the amount of
$14.72 for Taqueria Isidoro.

Have you seen
this receipt before?

Yes, it was found --
Objection.
Move to strike.

The witness is answering a
question she wasn't asked.

If Ms. Littlejohn wants to
know where it was found,

she can ask her that.

Thank you, Ms. Bell.

Agent Brentano,
where was this receipt found?

On the floor of the bank,
just after the robbery.

Do you know how
it got there?

I believe it fell --
Sandra: Objection.

No foundation.
Speculation.

Sustained.

Agent Brentano, in reviewing
the evidence in this case,

did you come to a conclusion
as to when and how

this receipt came to be
on the floor of the bank?

Objection.
It's a compound question.

It is, and I appreciate
counsel's concern for precision,

but I believe the witness
can answer both parts.

Agreed. Overruled.
You may answer.

Agent Brentano: In reviewing
the surveillance video,

I was able to determine

the receipt fell
during the robbery.

How did you determine

that this receipt
belonged to Ms. Baker.

Objection.
Misstates the testimony.

Assumes facts
not in evidence.

I found
a meditation app.

Should we try
tomorrow at lunch?

That witness
doesn't matter.

They all matter.
Only one matters.

Andrew had this case
for weeks.

You've had it
for a few days.

This loss is gonna go to him,
not you.

Everyone knows that.

Tomorrow at lunch.

Let's do it.

Mr. Loomis,
can you please tell the jury

what happened after you entered
East Midtown Mutual Bank?

I was waiting for the ATM

when I saw this woman enter
with her head down.

She had one of those
ski caps bunched on her head.

She was beautiful.
What I saw of her.

I stared for a second,

and then she saw me
and pulled on the mask.

Turned around again,

and that's when I saw
the gun in her hand.

And what happened next?

There was...chaos.

It all happened so fast.

I saw the security guard
getting ready to make his move,

so naturally I tried to
get out of his way.

That's when she shot me.

Where did she shoot you?
In the stomach.

Mr. Loomis, is the woman
who shot you at the bank

here in this courtroom
today?

No.

Mr. Loomis, are you sure?

Yes.

Isn't it true that the
defendant, Ms. Baker --

Objection, the question
has been asked and answered.

I am asking
a different question.

If the question is about
the identity of the person

who shot the defendant,
it's the same question.

Ms. Littlejohn, I'll allow you
another shot at this

if you rephrase it in
an appropriate way.

Mr. Loomis, when you
were interviewed

by FBI Agent James Wellner,

did you identify someone
you believed responsible

for shooting you
at East Midtown Mutual Bank?

Yes, I did.

When I looked at
her photographs,

I thought it was the woman
sitting there, Ms. Baker.

But seeing her now,
in person...

I was wrong.

It wasn't her.

Weeks of preparation, and
suddenly he isn't sure Betty

was the person who shot him?
The bank robber's
named "Betty"?

I'm headed this way.
I'll see you later.

I had a pet hedgehog
when I was a kid.

Guess what its name was.
Betty.

Nope.
Sonic.

No.
Do you want another guess?

No.
Bill Clinton.

What about him?

My hedgehog's name
was Bill Clinton.

How would I ever
guess that?

That's why I gave you
three chances.

Anyway, Bill Clinton died
when I was 12,

I buried him in the backyard,
we had a funeral,

I presided over it
and everything.

Why are you
telling me this?

Because I just found out that
Bill Clinton actually died

while I was away at camp
when I was 10.

My mom just bought
another hedgehog

and switched
Bill Clinton out.

I couldn't identify
my own pet!

We went over his testimony
50 times.

We showed him
the photo spread.

He identified her
without any hesitation.

Nick was sure.

I was sure I was burying
the real Bill Clinton.

That's the point.
Isn't the point that
your mom lied to you

because she didn't want you to
know she killed your hedgehog?

You know what?
That hurts.

Wait, that's it.

You know what's happened
in the world since 1986?

The Soviet Union fell.

We cloned a sheep.

Cars drive themselves,

but the Mets haven't won
a World Series in 32 years.

Rooting for the Yankees
is like cheering for Jaws

or the German guys
from "Die Hard."

Were they German?
I have no idea.

His name was Hans.
Hans Solo wasn't German.

That's, like,
an inter-galaxy thing,

and his name was Han,
not Hans.

Either way, Yankees suck.

Have a great trial.

What are you doing?

Waiting.
For who?

Jill.

To exchange tickets.

You have to exchange tickets
in the courthouse hallway?

We tried it in the office,
but it got confusing.

Long story.

Look, I know this
is complicated,

but you and Jill need
to move this along.

Me and Jill need
to move what along?

You and Jill need to move
you and Jill along.

No.
No, there's nothing going --

I've known you a long time,
Roger.

Until you met Jill,

the only time I'd ever
seen you even smile

was when Ronald Mark Wilson
was sentenced to death.

He ate his math teacher.
I'm not apologizing for that.

The point is,
you're not a happy person.

Or you weren't.

But ever since you've been
spending time with Jill,

there's a light
in your eyes.

Now, I normally wouldn't
involve myself in this,

but when you're happy,

everything around here
is happier.

I-I think you're exaggerating
a little --

Hey!

Hey.
Sorry I'm late.

Judge Friedman brought his
Pomeranian to work again,

and he ended up gagging
on a crispy shrimp burrito

under the bench.

The Pomeranian,
not Judge Friedman.

Good news is I got
a continuance.

This is a great moment for me.

Working for us...for free?

The chance to move people.
Through film.

Well, I'm truly humbled to
be able to share my gifts

with all of you.

Just the judge.

Tell me your vision
for this.

We need to get
Judge Gallatin

to feel for Chris
at sentencing.

To really understand him
as a person.

Chris is a decorated
bomb specialist.

He served two tours
in Afghanistan.

He came back with a shattered
shoulder and a fused hip.

He could barely
hold down a job.

So, when his mom
passed away

and her benefit checks
kept coming in the mail...

he was just
trying to survive.

Service.

Sacrifice.

Survival.
That's his story.

Exactly right.

I'm gonna get to
the heart of it.

That's what
we need you for.

The beating,
pulsing heart.

Beating and pulsing --
are those two things?

I...

Trust me.

Has it been three minutes?

42 seconds.

No, that can't be right.
No -- 44, 45...

It's stressing me out.
I just want tea.

Do not say "tea."

I never realized how
many thoughts I have.

Maybe we're just being
too ambitious.

Three minutes is pretty
aggressive.

One minute?

I can do anything
for one minute.

One minute it is,
starting...now.

What if I don't want
to meditate for one minute?

Who has the time?
We're in trial.

Ridiculous.
We tried.
Yeah.

Whatever happens in there,
that is in there.

It isn't personal.

Of course not.
Not "of course."

Well, it's not.

I'm glad you said that,
though.

I was feeling bad because
of Nick's testimony,

and if you want
to dismiss the case.

Let's leave that inside.

We're here now.

Tomorrow?
Same time.-

Aren't you supposed
to be in court?

On my way.
I was meditating.

Good.
That'll come in handy.

What is this?
From Kate's office.

Is it a dismissal?

It is not a dismissal.

What is it?

Security photos
from all the robberies

they suspect Betty
was involved in.
Why?

She's not charged in any
of those robberies.

You can't identify her
in any of these photos.

No, but you can
identify him.

Who?

My God.

I was handed these photos

minutes before
coming into court.

I only discovered them
last night, Your Honor.

Last night was last night.

I turned over the evidence
as soon as it was practical.

That is demonstrably
untrue.

It was deliberately withheld
until the last minute

to gain a strategic
advantage.

Well, now, this is more
what I was expecting.

Mr. Loomis
is now cooperating?

Yes, Your Honor.

And there is an immunity
agreement in place?

Yes, Your Honor.

I'm surprised and unhappy

with how long it took you

to produce this material,
Ms. Littlejohn.

This is where we are.

I'll allow you
to go forward.

Your Honor, respectfully,

this is a flagrant
Brady violation.

I understand the objection,
Ms. Bell.

We're moving forward.

Ms. Littlejohn, you are on
a short leash here.

Now. What exactly is Mr. Loomis
testifying to?

Betty Baker
was my girlfriend.

We had been together a year

when she first raised
the idea of robbing a bank.

I thought she was joking,
but she wasn't.

She was bored.

She needed money.

And she was
very convincing.

I went along with it.

I was the scout.
The lookout.

And if we got into trouble,

I was going to help us
get out.

Mr. Loomis, can you please
tell the jury

what happened the day of the
East Midtown Mutual robbery?

It started just like
the others.

The planning.

But on that last day,

on the walk to the bank,

I felt something
different from her.

She kept complaining that
she was doing all the work.

I didn't understand
what that meant

until we got in the bank
and she shot me.

She wanted the money.

You previously testified

that you could not
identify the person

who shot you in
the East Midtown Mutual Bank.

Was that testimony
truthful?

No. It was not.

Why not?

Honestly?

Because I love her.

And I didn't want her
to go to jail.

Even though she did
shoot me in the stomach.

But this is the truth.

Betty Baker was the woman
under that mask.

How goes bank robbery?

My witness turned on me.
Not good.

But I turned him,
and he turned on the defendant.

It's a lot of turns.
Are we back in the same place?

No,
we're in a better place.

When did she tell you
this witness had turned?

About 15 minutes
before he testified.

That's a Brady violation.
I made this argument.
I lost.

If you want me to
get into this...

And do what?
I can talk to Roger.

You don't need to
talk to Roger.

She sandbagged me.
I objected.

I lost.
I have to move on.

This could be grounds
for appeal.

Maybe, or maybe I win
and there is no appeal.

I need to talk to Betty.

Allison: Kings are the slaves
of history?

That doesn't
sound like Chris.

No. It's Leo.

He didn't mention a Leo
in his unit.

It's from "War and Peace."

The narration
is from Leo Tolstoy?

Every luminous word of it.

Can you tell us what those
luminous words mean?

It all depends on
who is watching.

The judge is watching.
The judge.

The crows that pick
at Chris' wounds,

in the battle sequence...

why are they in uniforms?

Also, why are there crows?

The fossil record
is rather dense.

In the video -- why are there
crows in the video?

It's a spirit animal,
a symbol of death and destiny.

In United States Army
uniforms.

A symbol of death
and destiny.

She has a good point.
This is federal court.

Could we switch up
the uniforms?

How are they putting on
the uniforms?

We may have to do
that in post.

Not my preference,
of course.

My friend Rusty takes his
Dachshund trick-or-treating.

In costume.
I'm just saying.

This is insane.
About adding the uniforms
in post?

I'm worried
about that, too.

Doing any of this
in any way.

Spirit animals
and Russian novels?

The brutality of war.
That is Chris' story.

If he was enslaved
by a King.

No, see, the Kings are the ones
who are enslaved,

burdened by --

Look, I get where Theo's
headed with this.
So do I.

It's better than any
of the videos we've seen.

Your cellphone pointed
at the ground is better

than the videos
we've seen.
What's your solution,
then?

With two days till
sentencing.

Something, anything that shows
the truth of Chris' life.

Like the stuff I tried
to raise every day at trial?

Or the cane he used in court
whenever he moved an inch?

Judge Guillotine
didn't care.

Yes, Theo's taking
a big swing.

Chris needs one,
so let's get back in there

and figure out how we are gonna
get the crows dressed!

I didn't think
he'd turn on me.

After you shot him?

I only shot him because
he was gonna shoot me.

What are you talking about?

He was reaching into
his jacket.

He had a gun, but the --

the plan was only for him
to use it if I needed backup.

There were no sirens,
no cops.

I was about to get away, just
like I had the other times,

but then I saw his hand
in his jacket,

the expression on his face.

I just saw it.

Saw what?

That he didn't
trust me anymore.

And I didn't trust him.

We'd started
fighting a lot.

We'd even argued on the way
to the bank that day.

How much of the money
we could spend

without people getting
suspicious,

what was okay to spend it on,
what wasn't,

what the long-term plan
was gonna be.

He figured out the perfect way
to get rid of me,

keep the money, and even
come out looking like a hero.

So I shot him.

We really did love
each other once.

The mistake was going
into business together.

What do we know
about Nick?

He's from Edina,
Minnesota.

Moved to New York
three years ago.

He played the oboe
in college.

She told you
she shot him?
Yes.

But the first time
you talked to her,

she told you she
didn't shoot him.

Clients change their stories
all the time

for all kinds of reasons.

I don't know which story of hers
is true, and I don't have to.

Our job is to make sure
the government

can actually
prove their story.

They have the burden.

Who's that?
Nick's sister.

Every year, his family takes
a holiday photo inside a canoe.

I can kinda see
why Betty shot him.

What do we know about her?

She was married to a man
named Luke,

but he spells his name
without the "e."

She's had
a lot of money problems

since she moved
to New York last year.

Any other pictures?

Of Nick?
Of his sister?

No, you're not.

I am.

What choice do I have?

We have to tell
a different story.

Who is this, Mr. Loomis?

That's my sister, Jenny.

Are you close?
Objection. Relevance.

I can assure Your Honor
this will be relevant.

I'll give you a few more,
Ms. Bell.

Mr. Loomis,
you may answer.

Yes.

Your sister, Jenny,

is five foot three inches tall,
is that about right?

Yes.

About 120 pounds?
Yes.

Brown hair?

Yes.

Isn't it true, Mr. Loomis,

that your sister Jenny
is the one

who robbed the East Midtown
Mutual Bank with you

and not Betty Baker?

What? No.
Objection.

Judge Byrne: Counsel.

She has no evidence that Jenny
had anything to do with this.

She doesn't need evidence.
She's asking questions.

She's raising doubt.
That's her job.

It's a cross.
Your Honor,

she's gonna leave the jury
with these wild accusations,

and then she's gonna
rest her case,

and then I will have
no ability to respond.

That is correct.

You are putting on a defense
you know is false.

I don't know it's false.

I wasn't there.
Neither were you.

The only thing
I actually know

is that you withheld evidence
that you knew would help me.

Ms. Littlejohn, is there an
objection you'd like to make?

I object to her.

Overruled.

So, um, the bad guys
in "Die Hard" were German.

But one of them
was Russian.

So, it's confusing.

Yes.

So, let's say I did want
to move this along with Jill.

Okay, what direction?

Forward.
Yes.

Like,
living together.

Right.

How would you
approach that?

You were married, right?

You proposed.
Didn't go well.

The proposal or
the marriage?
All of it.

Well, tell me
what you'd say.

So, listen --
Sounds like you're
delivering bad news.

Hold my hands.

Look me in the eye.

Call me by my name.

Tina or Jill?

Jill.

Jill, I've been
thinking a lot --

No, stop.

Okay.
Stop.

Thinking a lot?

Why are you thinking a lot?

This should be easy.

You're offending me.

Are you Jill
or Tina when --
Both!

Go ahead.

Jill.

You make me happy.

There isn't a day
that goes by

that I don't want
to talk to you.

See you.

Be with you.

That I don't think of you
when I'm not with you.

That I don't wish I'd met you
a long time before I did.

That I'm not thankful
for any time

I've gotten to
spend with you.

I want to live with you.

I-I want to live together.

I think it's lovely.

Hey.
Hey.

Thanks for dropping off
the Jenkins dismissal.

I appreciate it.

Sorry about the mix-up
the other day.

No problem.

Is that a bird?

In a uniform?

We're making a sentencing
mitigation video,

and I mistakenly
hired David Lynch,

if David Lynch
was British and obnoxious

and had no talent
and really loved crows.

Aren't all those
videos stupid?

I mean, I think
the idea is okay.

To manipulate a judge
with a movie.

To do what we can to
humanize our clients.

I guess this is one area
where prosecutors

and defense attorneys really
see things differently.

I'm not sure it's
all prosecutors

and defense attorneys.
It might just be you and me.

Those things are manipulative
and ridiculous.

What's ridiculous about
telling a client's story?

The fact that you're
not telling it.

You're turning it into
a cheesy infomercial.

Infomercials can be
very informative.

If the facts spoke for
themselves,

they wouldn't need
mood lighting

and a soundtrack by Enya.

I like Enya.

And the judge in this case

didn't hear all the facts.

Whose fault is that?

My bad. We should just keep
this stuff out of the apartment.

Yes, this is Switzerland.

Seth: I don't have to
respect what you do

to get along
with you at home.

Are you saying you don't
respect what I do?

I didn't mean you
specifically.

So I'm a bad lawyer
and a cheap stereotype.

I didn't say cheap.

We're just talking about facts
versus production values.

No. We're talking about
empathy for people

versus being executed
by Judge Guillotine.

It's Gallatin!
I know it's Gallat--

You know, maybe just stay out
of my business here, okay?

You're the one who asked me
to try to help you put

a tiny uniform on
a stuffed bird!

The pants don't even fit!

Betty Baker walked into
East Midtown Mutual Bank,

pulled a ski mask over her face,

demanded money, and threatened
to kill whoever got in her way.

When things didn't
go as planned,

she turned on her boyfriend,
Nick Loomis, and shot him.

Without hesitating.

She didn't pause to see
if he was all right.

She fled the scene

so quickly that, in her haste,

she dropped a receipt with her
credit card number on it.

This is what happened.

These are the facts.

Ms. Bell wants you to believe

that the truth in this case
is muddled.

That the testimony you have
heard points to someone

other than Betty Baker
robbing a bank

and trying to kill her boyfriend
to cover her tracks,

but that is simply untrue.

Mr. Loomis is a flawed man

who has made some
very poor choices
and big mistakes,

but none has been greater

than the simple, essential,
elemental one

of falling
for the wrong person.

Of believing someone
to be decent and honorable

when she is not.

In believing that a relationship
can be anything more

than expedient and
transactional.

That the person he trusted
was motivated by something

other than avarice and anger
and self-regard.

We don't agree on a lot.

That's the nature
of this system.

That's why we are here
talking to you

from opposite sides of the room.

To give you our perspective.

The evidence as we see it.

To let you decide.

But Ms. Littlejohn
and I do agree

on one important thing
in this case.

The only important thing,
really.

That what we do here
comes down to trust.

Do you trust Mr. Loomis?

That's it.

If you do, you can
and probably should

convict Betty Baker.

If you don't, then you cannot
convict Betty Baker.

Do you trust him?

You know he lied.
He told you he lied.

He came in here, and he looked
you in the eye,

and he said, "I lied."

That is the only thing you know
for a fact about Nick Loomis.

That the government
offered him immunity,

and he changed his testimony.

That he is a liar.

That he will say and do
whatever it takes

to avoid responsibility
for his role in this crime.

Ms. Littlejohn wants you to
focus on the relationship

between Betty and Nick.

I want you to think
about the relationship

between Nick and you.

You are good people.

You believe things,

and you fight for the things
you believe in,

and you are honest
in that fight.

Your friends and co-workers,
your fellow jurors,

trust you because they
know what you believe.

Nick Loomis is a man who doesn't
believe in anything.

And how do you trust someone
who doesn't believe in anything?

So, we've got to
make this quick

because I have
a hearing to get to.

Hi.
Hi.

Okay, your charging documents
in the last two fraud cases

have been inflammatory and
preposterously aggressive.

Even for you.
Um, you like
smoked fish, right?

Yes.

And you have this little weasel
first year over here

who keeps badgering
one of my first years.

I don't remember his name --
Barney Greengrass.

I don't think that's it.

No, I'm saying Barney Greengrass
tomorrow morning.

Can you do it?

Sure, yes, right.

We can go together.

Meet me here tonight.

The Baker case.

I'm sure you know,

Kate Littlejohn withheld
Brady material --

No, open it later.

Okay.

We're gonna appeal if we lose,
which we probably won't.

Byrne left us an opening.

Wait, what happened
in the Baker case?

When you tell your story,

I need you to tell it
as if it's happening now.

Right here.

My story?
Your story.

My whole life story
is now?

Here and now.

I'm not sure
I understand.

Neither do I.

You get it?

Blue and the khaki,
thanks.

Should Chris
shave as well?

He won't be on camera
for this.

You're just using
the audio?

I won't be recording that,
either.

It's to give me the emotion.

I'm afraid I still don't
understand what to do, exactly.

Thank God you're
not a director.

Just asking what I --

and let me start
doing, okay?

Thank you.

I think it's time
for you to leave.

Excuse me?
You need to leave, Theo.

Now.
This is about Chris.

Not you.
Not "your work."

Which seems to be terrible.

He used to be such a normal,
down-to-earth guy.

Really?
Freshman year.

I don't know, maybe not.

We're screwed.
We're totally screwed.

We are.

What?

I'd like to take a break.

Clearly, in light of this
powerful defense presentation,

a prison sentence in this case
is unwarranted.

When the door opens,

I'm going in first.

Roger: Have a seat.
I don't have time.

I'm waiting for a verdict.

There's not gonna
be a verdict.

Sit down.

What's going on?

She's pleading out.

Three years on the robbery,
and we dismiss the gun charges.

I never offered a deal.
I offered it.

I'm about to win
this case.

By withholding
Brady material --

Judge Byrne ruled with me.

And if you win,
which you probably will,

they're gonna appeal,
and we're gonna get slapped,

and I'm not gonna let
that happen.

You negotiated a deal with
Sandra behind my back --

I negotiated a deal.
It wasn't with Sandra.

I don't understand.

You were gonna lose.

I was not going to lose.

When did she offer this?

Who?
Kate.

This didn't come from Kate.

Roger made me the offer.

Are you kidding me?

You took my case away
and cut a deal with Roger?

Yes.

What?

You two are in
a relationship.

Sandra --

You were with him
the night he was swatted.

You're digging into
my personal life?

This isn't about
your personal life.

This is about
professional liability.

You are the Federal Public
Defender.

Your name is on every pleading
in this office.

You represent every client
in this office,

and you have a relationship

with the Chief of
the Criminal Division

of the U.S. Attorney's
Office --

I've had a relationship with
Roger Gunn for seven years.

That relationship
has been different things

at different times.

I don't know what it is now.

And it's not your business.

We're not married.

We have
no entangling interests.

You think I haven't
thought about this?

This isn't about
what I think.

It's about the perception
of a conflict.

What happens when some
disgruntled client

finds out about this

and alleges ineffective
assistance of counsel?

Then they will lose

because nothing I have done
or am doing

is a violation of my
professional responsibility.

You don't believe that.

It's complicated --

It's not complicated.

You're having a relationship

that compromises
your ability to do your job.

And my ability
to do my job.

You want to know
what I think?

That is what I think.

You're upset
about this case.

Yes.
I'm upset about this case.

I am upset because you
negotiated a deal with Roger,

and I don't know
if you did that

because it was in the best
interest of our client

or because Roger offered it.

I'm upset because I don't know
if I can trust you.

And it's not just you.

It's --
It's not just this case.

I'm upset about everything
going on around here.

Everything. Everybody.
Me!

Meditating in the park
with Kate Littlejohn.

Jay and Seth
living together.

Everybody walking around
these offices

like we're all one
big happy family.

We are not.

We cannot be.

How did this happen?

They don't have to be enemies,

but that doesn't mean
they are friends.

Or lovers.

We cannot do this job
that way.

We are warriors.

We once were warriors.

Who are we now?

Who are you?
