I cannot believe my dad stood me up again.

You told him to leave me alone?

- I was only thinking of you.

- I really wish
you would have forgiven Daddy

the same way you forgave Paul.

JAX:
Morning, sunshine.

WOMAN:
Oh. Morning.

- Hey.
DANIEL: Whoa. Damn, look at you.

JAX:
I mean...

- Alright, well, it took me some time,
but I finally got into Kaleesha's laptop.

- Anything good?

- Just a couple of cryptic notes
and initials I couldn't decipher,

but they're clearly about Clout.

JAX:
How do you know?

- 'Cause no one talks in code
on their own laptop.

Unless you're a weirdo.

- Who's a weirdo? You?

- Why can't you just love me
the way that I love you, Krystal?

- Now, children,
we cannot hold on to this laptop.

It's unethical,
and actually, it's illegal.

Eventually, we're gonna
have to turn this over to the prosecution

and submit it into evidence.

But we also cannot let Brayden know
that we have the laptop

because we're not supposed
to have the laptop right now.

- First rule of Fight Club.

- So we need to find out
what Kaleesha was gonna whistleblow

about Brayden's company before Mike does.

- He might already know.
You don't think Fallon told him?

- If Fallon knew
about Brayden's dirty little secrets,

she woulda been had spilled them by now.

- "Been had"? What do you mean?
- What do you mean?

- "Been had"?
Been had doesn't make any se--

Why are you guys looking at me
like I'm the crazy one?

- Anyway, in the small chance
that Mike is able to decipher something

from the laptop that we weren't,

Brayden's gonna have to tell us the truth,

once and for all.

KRYSTAL:
Mmm.

- I'd been had to...
understand what you guys talking about.

JAX:
Brayden, look, stakes have changed.

If you don't tell us what Kaleesha
was gonna expose about Clout,

I promise you,
it will be used against you in some way.

You and I have attorney/client privilege.

Whatever you tell me,
I am bound by my legal duty not to repeat.

- I understand,

but I'm telling you,
no one else knows besides Theo.

- And you trust Theo?

- Yes. I've known him
since I was 18 years old.

- And you're sure
he hasn't told anyone else?

- Yes.

- Brayden, if you're worried
about your company selling--

- Honestly, I'm not even sure
I wanna sell anymore.

Since Kaleesha... I'll just say
it's put things in perspective.

But at this point,
I have to think about my company.

It's bad enough
that I'm involved in all this.

The last thing I need is more damage.

- Fine.

But I'm telling you, you're making
it harder for me to do my job.

- But luckily for me, you're good at it.

- Hmm.

- I'll walk you out.

JAX:
Hmm.

- That's one charming mutha for ya.

- His charms aren't gonna
help him win a murder case.

Daniel, go through Mike's witness list,
see if there are any holes.

- Is there someplace I should start?

- Yes. Ryan, Kaleesha's husband.

If there's anyone else who could be
a possible suspect, it's him.

The more ammunition
you get me for cross, the better.

- You got it.

- You really good
with Brayden keeping secrets from you?

- I have to work around it for now.

I mean, everyone keeps secrets, right?

KRYSTAL:
Uh-huh. Speak for yourself.

♪

- It's day one of the Brayden Miller trial
here in Los Angeles.

The DA's office is under a lot of pressure

to deliver a strong case
against the almost billionaire

in the murder of his
former Clout executive Kaleesha Moore.

JAX: Morning.
- Morning.

- How you feeling?
BRAYDEN: We're hanging in there.

JAX:
Oh, don't worry. We got this.

Let's go.

♪

- Good morning, members of the jury.

They say money makes the world go round.

But for some people, it is their world,

and some people will do anything
they can to protect it,

even if that means murder.

And that's why we're here today,

because one woman,

an innocent, brilliant, generous member
of our community,

got in the way of one man

motivated by money
and the pursuit of wealth.

And that man is Brayden Miller.

- Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

a second-degree murder charge

is the charge on which my client,
Mr. Brayden Miller,

has been brought before you today.

You will learn that Mr. Miller
is a successful businessman

who, in fact, was unfaithful
to his wife with Kaleesha Moore.

And because of this,
the police and the prosecution decided

to forego a thorough investigation
in favor of something easier.

Tunnel vision.

- Our evidence and testimony
will establish the following:

The defendant was on the brink
of his biggest achievement yet--

becoming a billionaire.

A very elite club that not many people,

including a person of color, get into.

Would've been quite a feat.
But at what cost?

♪

That cost was the life of Kaleesha Moore.

- That means they picked
who they believed committed the crime,

and they created a story
that they are now hoping you will believe.

- Our victim, Kaleesha Moore,
dedicated four years of her life

to helping the defendant
build up his company.

But because Mrs. Moore was going to
share with the world damaging information

that she had that could have prevented
the defendant from becoming a billionaire,

he came to her home, he seduced her,

and then he murdered her
with the stem of a wine glass.

- But I'm here to tell you
that their story is not true.

You will see that it is not based
on real evidence or hard facts.

It is only based on assumptions,
incompetence and, frankly, laziness.

- You cannot bring
our dear Kaleesha Moore back.

- And that is why we are here today,

because the LAPD and the prosecution

would rather get a quick win
than do real work.

- But... you can prevent the defendant

from committing more evil
by after hearing all of our testimony

and seeing all of our evidence,

finding him guilty of murder.

- So however you may feel
about Mr. Miller's affair,

don't believe the prosecution's hype.

Adultery is not murder.

And you will see that Mr. Miller
is simply an unfaithful man

on trial for a murder crime
that he did not commit.

Thank you.

JUDGE GREEN:
Mr. Ortiz, are you ready to begin?

- Yes, Your Honor.

The people call--
- Detective Samuel Charles.

- Dr. Sanjeev Ahmed.

- Can you please let the jurors know
why you're here today?

- I'm a detective with
the Los Angeles Police Department

and the investigating officer
in this case.

- I was the chief medical examiner.

- And can you tell us what you found?

- Used condom and a wine glass.

Stem of the glass
was used to kill the victim.

The semen in the condom

and the fingerprints
in the wine glass and the stem

both match that of the defendant.

- The decedent had an incise wound,
that is a cutting wound to the neck.

It extended from the cheek to the neck,

and there were small shards of glass
left in the cheek,

as well as
bruising around the hands and arms

from some sort of struggle.

- Detective Charles,
you said the murder occurred

between the hours of
10:30 p.m. and 12 a.m., correct?

- That is correct.

- You spent only one hour
at the crime scene.

- We got everything we needed.

- After only one hour,

you decided Mr. Miller
was the primary suspect?

- Yes.

- Did you question
the victim's ex-assistant

who broke into her car
a month before her murder?

- Didn't need to.

- Well, your job as lead detective is to
do a thorough investigation, correct?

- That is correct.

JAX:
Question as many people as possible.

- As many as necessary
that lead us in the right direction.

JAX:
And yet this disgruntled ex-employee

who broke into Kaleesha's car
you failed to question.

- What did you determine
was the cause of death?

- The decedent died
of shock and hemorrhaging

after being stabbed in her jugular vein.

- And what did you determine
was the manner of death?

- A homicide.

- Dr. Ahmed, you work
for Los Angeles County?

- Yes.

- And you only ever testify
for the prosecution?

- Uh, yes, most of the time.

- Most of the time.

According to my notes,
you've only ever testified for the defense

five times in your entire 15-year career.

DR. AHMED:
Yes. I-- [clears throat]

I suppose.

- And I suppose that maybe your reports
tend to benefit the side

that's kept you employed
for these last 15 years.

MIKE:
Objection. Argumentative.

- Never underestimate
the power of money and privilege.

- Ryan, you said you and Kaleesha
were working on your marriage.

Were you aware of the affair
between her and the defendant?

- I was.

But I love--

loved Kaleesha.

So I forgave her.

- And on the night in question,

where were you?

- A faculty event
honoring the dean of our college.

- When did you find out
what happened to Kaleesha?

- Her cousin Fallon
called me the next day.

- And you saw her?

- In a body bag.

- Nothing further, Your Honor.

- Mr. Moore, you mentioned
on the night in question

you were at a faculty event, correct?

- Yes, ma'am.
- What time did you leave the event?

RYAN:
Uh--

I'm not sure. Late.

- I see. And why did you leave the event?

Did you know Brayden
was at Kaleesha's house that night?

- No, I did not.

JAX:
And when did you find that out?

- I found out later,
after he had killed her.

- Mr. Moore, please answer the questions
without commentary.

JAX:
Thank you, Your Honor.

Okay, so why did you
leave the event early?

- I got into a disagreement
with a colleague.

JAX: And what was the reason
for this disagreement?

- It was about my tenure track.

- Because it was stalled, correct?

[stammers]
- Mr. Moore, please answer.

- I had some issues to sort out.

JAX:
Hmm.

And by issues, do you mean
you were committed on the 5150?

- Yes.

- And a 5150 allows for temporary
involuntary psychiatric commitment

of those who present a danger
to themselves or others.

- Yes.
JAX: And Kaleesha called the authorities

on the 5150, correct?
RYAN: Yes.

JAX:
And this was after she came to work

with a red eye?
- Uh-- That was a mistake!

- So you tend to do violent things

THEO:
Got here as soon as I could.

Everything alright?

- Do you remember when we met? College?

Freshman year.

John Jay 6.

[Brayden laughs]

- We spent way too much time
on that floor.

- Yeah, in that lounge
that was by the elevator

with that small-ass television.

- [Theo laughs]
In the middle of Manhattan,

and all we wanted to do
was stay in and watch sitcoms.

- No.

I hung out there because

from there you could see everyone.

Who left with who, when they came back,
what was going on.

It was the Columbia University version
of Instagram.

- I didn't know that.

- My point is, is that
while you were watching Must See TV,

I was gathering information
because that's what I do.

And that's how I found out

you've been trying to sell Clout
behind my back.

- Yeah, I wanted
to talk to you about that.

- When? Before or after
you went to the board?

Are you trying to take my company from me?

- What?
Brayden, no, I--

Kaleesha was stealing from the company.

From you.

- I don't believe you.

- She was using you, Brayden.

This woman threatened to take down
the company you built,

almost ruined your marriage,

stole funds from right under your nose.

And now you're being accused
of her murder.

Still, from that look on your face,

I can tell you're still in love with her.

♪

You know, if I wanted
to take this company, I could have.

Alright, alright.
There's no need for that.

I'll let myself out.

was stealing from the company.

Some of these are even dated
before the breakup.

She claimed to love me,
but it turns out that she was

playing me all along.

- I'm sorry.
- Yeah.

Me too.

JAX: How did you find out?
- Theo.

- And you trust him?

- I don't know.

- We have Kaleesha's laptop.

- What do you mean?

- We were able to locate it
through her cousin Morgan.

- What does it say?

- There's plenty about Clout all over it.

Kaleesha was smart enough
to write about it in code,

but, Brayden,

I have a responsibility
to turn this over to the prosecution.

So I will ask you one last time.

What was Kaleesha gonna whistleblow?

- Theo overvalued the company
in preparation for the sale.

- Okay.

- It happens all the time.
It's not a big deal.

But knowing that Kaleesha was stealing

means that the company's worth
even less than I originally thought.

Which is why I didn't wanna tell you
what Kaleesha knew

when we were deciding to sell.

- Well, look, Brayden,
my job as your attorney

is to keep you out of prison,

not protect your stock options.

- I just--

I just need a moment to figure this out.

- Until you do, do whatever you need to do
to keep Theo as close as you can

and those documents,
as far away from you as possible.

- Miss Konner, can you please
tell the jury what your job is?

- I am a telecommunications expert
with the phone company.

Additionally, I keep track
of pinging for the company.

- And you were able to verify
the authenticity of a voice mail

left on Ryan Moore's phone
the night Kaleesha died?

- That's correct.

- Before I play the voice mail,
I'd like to warn everyone

that we're gonna hear
some disturbing sounds

of Kaleesha's final minutes.

Miss Konner, how long's the voice mail?

- It is approximately four minutes,

but at some point
it does cut off due to length.

- Judge Green,
I'd like to play that voice mail

and mark it as the people's exhibit 42.

- Proceed.
