1
00:00:00,344 --> 00:00:01,921
Previously on In Contempt...
2
00:00:01,962 --> 00:00:04,691
There's obviously unfinished
business between the two of you.
3
00:00:04,974 --> 00:00:07,972
I want you to finish it.
I'm giving you 30 days.
4
00:00:08,106 --> 00:00:10,669
Pack a bag. That 30
days starts right now.
5
00:00:10,805 --> 00:00:12,404
I wanted you to hear it from me first.
6
00:00:12,539 --> 00:00:13,814
- Blackburn had it coming...
- I'm promoting Charlie
7
00:00:13,838 --> 00:00:15,269
- to supervisor.
- Seriously?
8
00:00:15,402 --> 00:00:18,233
- No gloating?
- I'm gonna gloat. Just later.
9
00:00:18,370 --> 00:00:21,034
No need to discuss, discourse, dialogue.
10
00:00:21,169 --> 00:00:22,734
Are you off your meds?
11
00:00:23,234 --> 00:00:25,233
This must be your fianc�e, Alison.
12
00:00:25,367 --> 00:00:27,371
So you think you can just...
13
00:00:27,496 --> 00:00:29,995
- End this.
- Sugar, I just did.
14
00:00:30,130 --> 00:00:31,962
Now we're getting somewhere.
15
00:00:33,465 --> 00:00:37,096
So, which is it? Your place or mine?
16
00:00:39,196 --> 00:00:43,894
? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ?
17
00:00:44,029 --> 00:00:45,959
Well, hello, spa queen!
18
00:00:46,093 --> 00:00:48,124
You all cleansed and karma-balanced?
19
00:00:48,258 --> 00:00:52,989
Nope, but I made you this.
It's a dream-catcher.
20
00:00:53,296 --> 00:00:56,321
Honey, that looks more
like a dream-killer.
21
00:00:56,655 --> 00:00:58,733
And please tell me there was
more to your romantic getaway
22
00:00:58,757 --> 00:01:00,422
- than arts and crafts.
- It was great.
23
00:01:00,555 --> 00:01:02,519
Had its ups and downs but...
24
00:01:03,854 --> 00:01:06,118
Bennett and I might
be moving in together.
25
00:01:06,851 --> 00:01:11,581
My, my! Three days of
Gwen and Alison eats a TKO.
26
00:01:11,715 --> 00:01:14,346
Okay, not so fast! Bennett
got us an apartment together,
27
00:01:14,482 --> 00:01:17,646
we're more like
co-relocating. In 27 days
28
00:01:17,782 --> 00:01:19,690
we'll either be together
or the lease will be up.
29
00:01:19,714 --> 00:01:21,390
Either way, I will not
leave you high and dry.
30
00:01:21,414 --> 00:01:23,113
I'm not worried about that.
31
00:01:23,247 --> 00:01:26,044
But one weekend away together
and suddenly you're shacking up?
32
00:01:26,181 --> 00:01:28,321
- Girlfriend, that's not healthy.
- There's nothing else to do.
33
00:01:28,345 --> 00:01:30,065
We just got to play
house and hope it works.
34
00:01:30,178 --> 00:01:31,342
Thanks.
35
00:01:31,476 --> 00:01:33,020
Don't you have a murder trial starting?
36
00:01:33,044 --> 00:01:34,044
Yeah.
37
00:01:34,176 --> 00:01:35,707
Have you told him about Trial-Gwen?
38
00:01:35,842 --> 00:01:36,940
No, but...
39
00:01:37,075 --> 00:01:38,640
'Cause Trial-Gwen is a challenge.
40
00:01:38,973 --> 00:01:40,271
Well, well...
41
00:01:40,408 --> 00:01:42,605
When the cat's away somebody gets laid.
42
00:01:42,739 --> 00:01:44,670
Derek, Gwen. Gwen, Derek.
43
00:01:44,804 --> 00:01:46,003
- Hi, Derek.
- Good morning.
44
00:01:46,137 --> 00:01:49,901
- Derek has to go.
- Um, thank you.
45
00:01:50,438 --> 00:01:53,145
But do you want to get
some dinner tonight?
46
00:01:53,223 --> 00:01:55,699
- Not really. I'll call you.
- Okay.
47
00:01:55,834 --> 00:01:57,367
Okay.
48
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:03,164
- It was very nice to meet you.
- Yeah.
49
00:02:07,631 --> 00:02:10,037
So, what does Dodson think
about Mr How-Did-You-Do there?
50
00:02:10,076 --> 00:02:12,129
I gave Dodson the old Alabama slammer.
51
00:02:12,261 --> 00:02:14,203
Okay, I need to look that
up in the Urban Dictionary
52
00:02:14,227 --> 00:02:17,090
- and never say that again.
- I mean, we're done. For good.
53
00:02:17,626 --> 00:02:19,326
Couldn't handle the commitment, huh?
54
00:02:19,459 --> 00:02:21,539
Okay, look. So, let's just
agree that, in the future,
55
00:02:21,592 --> 00:02:23,472
you'll stay away from
men of married persuasion.
56
00:02:23,523 --> 00:02:26,087
Says the woman moving in
with someone's fianc�e.
57
00:02:26,224 --> 00:02:28,769
Okay, that is totally different
so you can come back
58
00:02:28,794 --> 00:02:30,886
and get this mic you just tried to drop.
59

60
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,949
- She should be here any minute.
- It's a death card.
61
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,183
- I'm sorry, what?
- My tag. I saw you wondering.
62
00:02:51,952 --> 00:02:53,881
Sorry I'm late.
Did Vanessa catch you up?
63
00:02:54,483 --> 00:02:56,580
Yeah, we was just getting' acquainted.
64
00:02:57,249 --> 00:02:59,246
Okay, well here's the deal:
20 years is the lowest
65
00:02:59,381 --> 00:03:01,613
- the DA's office will go.
- What happened with motions?
66
00:03:01,654 --> 00:03:02,873
Denied. The prosecution
67
00:03:02,940 --> 00:03:04,740
can bring in all your
prior domestic violence.
68
00:03:04,791 --> 00:03:06,157
That is why the offer is 20.
69
00:03:06,205 --> 00:03:07,658
You gotta get me something better.
70
00:03:07,683 --> 00:03:09,294
I'm not going to be
able to do that, Justin.
71
00:03:09,318 --> 00:03:11,158
They have no motive to
offer you anything less.
72
00:03:11,275 --> 00:03:12,929
You're sitting here on
bail you can't make and...
73
00:03:12,953 --> 00:03:14,686
Your girlfriend was burned alive.
74
00:03:18,163 --> 00:03:20,545
- Plus, there's your sheet.
- The two drug sales,
75
00:03:20,585 --> 00:03:23,849
- the robbery, and you're on parole.
- So you saying you think I did it?
76
00:03:23,892 --> 00:03:24,970
No... I...
77
00:03:24,995 --> 00:03:27,213
You ever even do a murder case?
How old is she?
78
00:03:27,238 --> 00:03:29,426
Old enough to be your lawyer,
and I'm old enough to tell you
79
00:03:29,450 --> 00:03:33,713
- to shut the hell up. Clear?
- Look at you.
80
00:03:33,799 --> 00:03:35,713
Twenty years. Flat. Out in about 17.
81
00:03:35,738 --> 00:03:37,236
Do you want it, or not?
82
00:03:38,489 --> 00:03:41,687
Twenty is not an offer.
Just roll the dice.
83
00:03:45,652 --> 00:03:48,276
- You can breathe now.
- Why doesn't he take the plea?
84
00:03:48,301 --> 00:03:50,142
He's not wrong.
They don't have much of a case.
85
00:03:50,166 --> 00:03:52,495
Would you take 20 years based on
the evidence you've seen so far?
86
00:03:52,519 --> 00:03:54,972
- I would if I did it.
- You're a responsible person,
87
00:03:54,997 --> 00:03:57,180
and responsible people
don't light people on fire.
88
00:03:57,246 --> 00:03:59,074
- So you think he did it too?
- Maybe.
89
00:03:59,099 --> 00:04:00,434
Probably. Doesn't matter.
90
00:04:00,459 --> 00:04:02,523
If our guy wants a trial
and his decision is rational,
91
00:04:02,547 --> 00:04:04,377
then we fight like
hell for him at trial.
92
00:04:04,512 --> 00:04:06,810
You wanted more serious cases.
Here's more serious cases.
93
00:04:06,904 --> 00:04:08,236
He gives me the creeps.
94
00:04:08,309 --> 00:04:10,078
Well, if it isn't Uncle Ruckus himself!
95
00:04:10,153 --> 00:04:12,309
Thanks for stalling
on the discovery, EJ.
96
00:04:12,443 --> 00:04:14,452
Was that your junior varsity
way of trying to irritate us?
97
00:04:14,476 --> 00:04:17,473
Believe it or not, the world
doesn't revolve around you.
98
00:04:17,553 --> 00:04:18,751
Oh. wait. Are you sure?
99
00:04:18,832 --> 00:04:20,695
I have bigger fish to fry at the moment.
100
00:04:21,375 --> 00:04:23,273
So, did your client tell you all about
101
00:04:23,406 --> 00:04:24,805
how he set his girlfriend on fire?
102
00:04:24,939 --> 00:04:26,437
In gory detail. Right after we donned
103
00:04:26,569 --> 00:04:28,415
our Satan's capes and
sacrificed small children.
104
00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:30,038
Do you have the discovery?
105
00:04:34,634 --> 00:04:38,699
- What about the photos?
- You sure you wanna see these?
106
00:04:38,834 --> 00:04:40,632
Oh, no, it might be too much to bear!
107
00:04:40,681 --> 00:04:43,844
- Give me that.
- Enjoy!
108
00:04:46,897 --> 00:04:49,526
Alright. I need three full
sets of these all collated.
109
00:04:49,663 --> 00:04:51,372
And don't forget to use
the yellow tabs every time
110
00:04:51,396 --> 00:04:53,502
you see the complainant,
green for the arresting officer,
111
00:04:53,526 --> 00:04:55,166
and purple for any
inconsistent statement.
112
00:04:55,262 --> 00:04:57,036
- Right, you said it.
- Make sure you get it right.
113
00:04:57,060 --> 00:04:59,067
I need something when
I'm crossing the witness.
114
00:04:59,124 --> 00:05:00,756
I got it. Really.
115
00:05:04,892 --> 00:05:07,355
- What?
- They're not pretty.
116
00:05:07,490 --> 00:05:09,125
That's for sure.
117
00:05:09,169 --> 00:05:11,833
Damn. Number 13 is super nasty.
118
00:05:18,353 --> 00:05:20,816
[VOMITING]
119
00:05:23,783 --> 00:05:26,914
- Oh my God. I'm sorry, I just...
- No, they're horrible.
120
00:05:27,050 --> 00:05:29,181
And that's covered by
co-counsel privilege.
121
00:05:29,368 --> 00:05:32,427
- Thank you.
- When you make copies of the photos,
122
00:05:32,452 --> 00:05:35,349
make sure they're collated
by exhibit number, and....
123
00:05:37,014 --> 00:05:38,780
You coming?
124
00:05:43,043 --> 00:05:45,108
Make sure they're
collated by exhibit number.
125
00:05:50,707 --> 00:05:52,306
Your diet's finally getting to you.
126
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,303
That, or you're finally sick of Vanessa.
127
00:05:54,370 --> 00:05:56,716
- Vanessa's great. Lay off her.
- Sugar, I don't have to pretend
128
00:05:56,740 --> 00:05:59,836
to like people I don't like.
That's not mean. That's honest.
129
00:05:59,971 --> 00:06:01,536
- She's trying.
- No. She's snotty,
130
00:06:01,591 --> 00:06:03,024
she's weak, and she's pretentious.
131
00:06:03,085 --> 00:06:05,178
And you should have never
taken her on a homicide.
132
00:06:05,202 --> 00:06:06,668
Cut her some slack. She'll do fine.
133
00:06:06,803 --> 00:06:09,932
Tracy knows, I'm just
saying, Tracy knows.
134
00:06:10,067 --> 00:06:12,332
It must be nice to be so wise.
135
00:06:14,300 --> 00:06:19,368
Sergeant Jacob Lockman,
a 14-year veteran with the NYPD,
136
00:06:19,393 --> 00:06:21,839
was killed during a chance encounter
137
00:06:21,901 --> 00:06:25,088
- with a teenage skateboarder...
- Please, God, not a black man!
138
00:06:25,127 --> 00:06:27,060
Suspect in custody, but no additional
139
00:06:27,194 --> 00:06:29,293
information is being released.
140
00:06:32,826 --> 00:06:37,358
Tracy! I have to go
prep and Franklin's here.
141
00:06:38,125 --> 00:06:41,120
- I'll take care of it.
- Thank you.
142
00:06:42,544 --> 00:06:44,904
Gwen's on trial, Franklin.
She can't talk to you right now.
143
00:06:44,988 --> 00:06:46,348
But I need to confer with counsel.
144
00:06:46,423 --> 00:06:48,379
Have you been protesting
the library again?
145
00:06:48,450 --> 00:06:50,287
Gwen already told you:
their late-fee policy
146
00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:52,618
is not a form of discrimination.
147
00:06:52,752 --> 00:06:53,949
Are your working for the man
148
00:06:54,013 --> 00:06:55,810
or are you working for the people?
149
00:06:55,864 --> 00:06:58,998
Man's always makin' up rules.
You can't even talk your mind.
150
00:06:59,084 --> 00:07:00,659
Are you going to be silenced by the man?
151
00:07:00,683 --> 00:07:03,169
Honey, there's not a man
alive who can silence me.
152
00:07:03,568 --> 00:07:06,466
You know what I think?
I think you're a legal saboteur.
153
00:07:06,630 --> 00:07:09,944
I'm not a saboteur, Franklin.
I'm Gwen's office mate.
154
00:07:10,219 --> 00:07:12,284
Honey, are you off your meds again?
155
00:07:13,838 --> 00:07:15,343
Those pills have a radio transmitter.
156
00:07:15,478 --> 00:07:17,962
Okay, you know what?
Why don't we take a trip downstairs
157
00:07:17,994 --> 00:07:20,655
- to social services?
- This whole building is bugged.
158
00:07:21,337 --> 00:07:24,706
- Tell Gwen I need to see her.
- Okay, sure thing.
159
00:07:26,507 --> 00:07:28,204
Nutjob.
160
00:07:28,572 --> 00:07:30,471
- Can I help you?
- Nope, I'm done.
161
00:07:30,793 --> 00:07:32,682
- Doing what?
- As your new supervisor,
162
00:07:32,731 --> 00:07:35,130
it's my duty to prepare
your performance review.
163
00:07:35,317 --> 00:07:36,418
Oh, please. No.
164
00:07:36,489 --> 00:07:38,786
Tom usually just lets me
write it and then he signs.
165
00:07:38,858 --> 00:07:40,822
Well, new sheriff in town.
166
00:07:41,435 --> 00:07:45,266
Oh. You really need to work
on your client sensitivity.
167
00:07:45,966 --> 00:07:47,464
? Babe, I want ?
168

- Wow, Bennett! This is great.
- What do we have here?

- Flame bolts.
- Aha.

And barbecued chips.

- Oh, I'm good.

You know, I was thinking, how about
we order something great?

drinking too much of this stuff.

right after my trial.

- Yes. I promise.

- Shit.
- Yeah.

might do better with
a well-rested lawyer?

We do. We move to preclude
all the crime scene photos.

That's ridiculous!

- The photos are evidence.
- Prejudicial evidence.

They show exactly what the
defendant did to his girlfriend.

example of how evidence

But so was the crime, Counselor.
I'm not going to exclude them.
235

Then we ask that you limit
the scope to 3 to 4 photos.
236

Anything more than that is overkill.
237

That's a reasonable proposal,
Mr. Dashay.
238
00:11:46,146 --> 00:11:47,386
Three photos should do it.
239
00:11:47,411 --> 00:11:50,067
And I'll ask that photos 10,
13 and 15 be excluded.

As much as Ms. Sullivan would like

that's not how it works.

00:11:54,152 --> 00:11:56,949
Photos 10, 13 and 15 are the
very three we intend to use.

their evidence, Ms. Sullivan.

No. Photographs 10, 13 and
15 were close-ups of the body.

00:12:14,413 --> 00:12:15,745
They don't show the front door.
248
00:12:15,877 --> 00:12:17,255
So what's wrong with the front door?

00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:18,744
It's what's not wrong with it.

- So there was no forced entry.
- Which means...

The killer had a key or
the victim let him in.
253
00:12:27,707 --> 00:12:29,838
Which means she knew the killer.

If Dashay knew you
wanted those photos out...

00:14:12,657 --> 00:14:15,454
he sold Justin lighter fluid
the day before the murder.

- Yeah.
- You think if he knows

who the witness is,
he might do something?

We don't have a choice.
We have to give that to him.

You can't turn it over if he
might intimidate the witness.

If Dashay was worried,
he could have asked the judge

We arrived on the scene right
after the fire department.

The victim, Cecilia Duncan,
was already dead.

Her body was badly charred.

Most of the flesh from
her skull was burned off.

The apartment smelled
strongly of lighter fluid.

00:16:17,554 --> 00:16:19,155
Officer, did you have
any previous contact
320
00:16:19,179 --> 00:16:21,279
with Cecilia Duncan before
you found her dead body?
321
00:16:21,342 --> 00:16:22,741
Yes. I previously responded
322
00:16:22,790 --> 00:16:24,536
to a domestic violence
call at the same address.
323
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,960
And what happened on that occasion?
324
00:16:26,045 --> 00:16:28,529
I found Cecilia with a
black eye, a head wound...
325
00:16:28,615 --> 00:16:31,160
She said the defendant attacked
her so I arrested Mr. Wilson.
326
00:16:31,185 --> 00:16:34,583
He was then convicted of assaulting her.
327
00:16:34,719 --> 00:16:37,182
Thank you. No further questions.
328
00:16:39,668 --> 00:16:42,768
Officer, when you arrested
Mr. Wilson, did you find
329
00:16:42,793 --> 00:16:45,263
any evidence of lighter fluid
on his clothes or his skin?
330
00:16:45,288 --> 00:16:47,154
No, but Mr. Wilson
evaded us for the first...
331
00:16:47,179 --> 00:16:49,145
- Your Honor!
- Sustained.
332
00:16:49,381 --> 00:16:51,313
You know how to do this, Officer.
333
00:16:53,317 --> 00:16:56,069
We didn't arrest the defendant
until 24 hours after the fire.
334
00:16:56,094 --> 00:16:57,738
He would have had time to
shower and change his clothes.
335
00:16:57,762 --> 00:16:58,918
Right, but I'm asking...
336
00:16:58,943 --> 00:17:00,685
If he changed his clothes,
we wouldn't find lighter fluid.
337
00:17:00,709 --> 00:17:01,875
My question was did you?
338
00:17:01,910 --> 00:17:03,378
And my answer was maybe he showered.
339
00:17:03,403 --> 00:17:05,185
That or he didn't have
anything to do with it.
340
00:17:05,209 --> 00:17:06,918
Objection! Who's doing the questioning?
341
00:17:06,943 --> 00:17:08,864
Counsel wouldn't have to
if the Officer would just
342
00:17:08,888 --> 00:17:10,778
- answer the questions.
- Sustained.
343
00:17:10,903 --> 00:17:12,536
Actually, Judge, I'll take it from here.
344
00:17:16,324 --> 00:17:18,588
Officer, yes or no. At the crime scene,
345
00:17:18,613 --> 00:17:20,046
did you find any evidence that anyone
346
00:17:20,070 --> 00:17:22,302
other than Ms. Duncan
had been in the apartment?
347
00:17:23,226 --> 00:17:25,057
- No.
- So the crime scene tells us
348
00:17:25,090 --> 00:17:27,853
only that something horrible
happened. Not who did it.
349
00:17:29,414 --> 00:17:31,812
- That's right.
- No further questions.

351
00:17:38,037 --> 00:17:40,069
It feels a little like
we're hitting a wall.
352
00:17:40,494 --> 00:17:43,660
Just bounce on the ball.
It helps you think. Bounce!
353
00:17:45,587 --> 00:17:46,820
Alright. Justin's girlfriend
354
00:17:46,866 --> 00:17:48,406
is a crucial witness we
have to undermine.
355
00:17:48,430 --> 00:17:51,343
And we still don't have a solid
theory about why she's lying.
356
00:17:51,585 --> 00:17:54,025
Do you think it might be because
she's just telling the truth?
357
00:17:55,241 --> 00:17:57,853
I really need you to focus. Bounce.
358
00:18:01,013 --> 00:18:03,732
It's midnight, Gwen. Can't we
just continue this tomorrow?
359
00:18:03,810 --> 00:18:06,284
The witness testifies tomorrow, Vanessa.
360
00:18:07,304 --> 00:18:11,000
You know, fine, forget it.
I'll just see you tomorrow at 6 a.m.

_
363
00:18:53,133 --> 00:18:55,064
Where were you? We had a plan.
364
00:18:56,530 --> 00:18:59,438
- I had to work.
- I know. But you promised me
365
00:18:59,463 --> 00:19:03,179
90 minutes to be together.
Just us. To forget about work.
366
00:19:03,210 --> 00:19:06,526
Bennett, I have a client
who's facing life in prison.
367
00:19:06,659 --> 00:19:08,258
The one who lit his girlfriend on fire.
368
00:19:08,394 --> 00:19:10,326
- Don't do that.
- Do what?
369
00:19:10,559 --> 00:19:13,190
Make me feel bad for choosing
to spend time on my work.
370
00:19:13,326 --> 00:19:15,234
It's just that I shouldn't
have to be a felon
371
00:19:15,259 --> 00:19:16,970
to get a chance to
spend some time with you.
372
00:19:16,994 --> 00:19:18,192
Okay, you know what?
373
00:19:18,692 --> 00:19:22,655
Let's just hold the feelings
until my homicide trial is over.
374
00:19:24,324 --> 00:19:25,689
Sure.
375
00:19:26,922 --> 00:19:30,720
Good luck in court tomorrow.
I'm sure you'll do great.
376
00:19:46,348 --> 00:19:48,879
When he found out I was pregnant
Justin promised me
377
00:19:48,904 --> 00:19:51,331
he would break up with Cecilia
so I could move in with him,
378
00:19:51,356 --> 00:19:52,644
but he never did.
379
00:19:52,669 --> 00:19:54,559
And did he say why he hadn't
broken up with Cecilia?
380
00:19:54,583 --> 00:19:56,981
- Objection, hearsay!
- Goes to show state of mind.
381
00:19:57,743 --> 00:19:59,141
Overruled.
382
00:19:59,277 --> 00:20:00,834
He said they had a business together.
383
00:20:00,859 --> 00:20:02,884
She said, if he broke up with her,
384
00:20:02,909 --> 00:20:04,854
- she'd take everything.
- And what kind of business?
385
00:20:04,878 --> 00:20:06,111
Objection!
386
00:20:06,558 --> 00:20:10,752
- Withdrawn. No more questions.
- Were you promised anything
387
00:20:10,777 --> 00:20:13,209
in exchange for your
testimony here today?
388
00:20:13,418 --> 00:20:15,315
I got arrested for shoplifting.
389
00:20:15,537 --> 00:20:17,279
The prosecutor said, if I cooperated,
390
00:20:17,304 --> 00:20:18,878
they would take it
into account in my case.
391
00:20:18,902 --> 00:20:20,811
And if you go to jail,
you lose your baby, right?

- Objection!
- Sustained.
393
00:20:23,701 --> 00:20:25,733
Ms. Malbon, you must have
been pretty angry to find out
394
00:20:25,757 --> 00:20:27,529
that Justin was still with Cecilia.
395
00:20:27,654 --> 00:20:29,631
- He wasn't with her.
- Oh!
396
00:20:29,917 --> 00:20:33,296
�Shameless hoe trying to hold on
to a man who doesn't love you�.
397
00:20:33,338 --> 00:20:35,151
Isn't that a text that you sent to her?
398
00:20:35,176 --> 00:20:37,424
- Yeah, but that's �cause...
- �I'm gonna F-you up
399
00:20:37,449 --> 00:20:39,945
if you don't get the hell
out of Justin's house�.
400
00:20:40,794 --> 00:20:44,884
Wait. I didn't kill her.
She was a drug dealer.
401
00:20:44,909 --> 00:20:46,957
She probably got high
and set herself on fire.
402
00:20:46,982 --> 00:20:48,990
- Objection, Your Honor!
- Sustained.
403
00:20:49,124 --> 00:20:50,689
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
404
00:20:50,824 --> 00:20:53,555
you will please disregard
the witness' last statement.
405
00:20:54,489 --> 00:20:58,519
- No more questions.
- Then Court is now in recess.
406
00:21:03,525 --> 00:21:04,923
Pass me the victim's rap sheet.
407
00:21:04,948 --> 00:21:07,063
I want to see which officer
arrested her for the drug sales.
408
00:21:07,087 --> 00:21:09,368
- I don't see why it's relevant.
- I asked you to yellow-flag
409
00:21:09,392 --> 00:21:11,116
any mention of her. Do you have it?
410
00:21:11,417 --> 00:21:13,548
- Yes, but...
- Then hand it over.
411
00:21:13,916 --> 00:21:16,413
I understand tactics,
but are you really going
412
00:21:16,438 --> 00:21:19,503
- to go after the victim?
- If that's what we have to do.
413
00:21:20,081 --> 00:21:22,388
I'm sorry, but I am not
comfortable with this.
414
00:21:22,488 --> 00:21:25,270
We have a client to defend.
And, honestly, Vanessa,
415
00:21:25,304 --> 00:21:26,958
I'm more concerned
about winning this case
416
00:21:26,983 --> 00:21:28,782
than I am about your comfort.
417
00:21:37,806 --> 00:21:39,875
What is going on with you?
You won your last case,
418
00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:41,845
you made supervisor,
why are you doing this?
419
00:21:42,048 --> 00:21:43,740
- What are you talking about?
- I don't know.
420
00:21:43,764 --> 00:21:46,484
�Ms. Campbell displays at best
a perfunctory amount of civility
421
00:21:46,509 --> 00:21:48,437
toward her clients, with a distinct dose
422
00:21:48,462 --> 00:21:50,718
of disdain toward the more
recalcitrant individuals�?
423
00:21:50,743 --> 00:21:53,833
What? You're trying
stuff this with SAT words?
424
00:21:53,968 --> 00:21:55,601
Try again, sugar.
425
00:21:56,535 --> 00:22:01,033
Insubordination.
Also a problem area for you.
426
00:22:02,066 --> 00:22:03,365
And you're late for court.
427
00:22:03,443 --> 00:22:04,785
I'll have to add that to your eval.
428
00:22:04,809 --> 00:22:07,909
- I am not doing this right now.
- Use your inside voice.
429
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,125
Charlie!
430
00:22:10,358 --> 00:22:11,616
According to sources,
431
00:22:11,641 --> 00:22:13,538
the shooter's name is Jackson Whitmore.
432
00:22:14,248 --> 00:22:16,655
Sources say that he and
the officer struggled,
433
00:22:16,709 --> 00:22:19,592
and that the officer was
shot with his own gun.
434
00:22:19,936 --> 00:22:21,622
Witnesses, however, contend
435
00:22:21,647 --> 00:22:23,891
that the officer was
choking the young man.
436
00:22:24,228 --> 00:22:27,922
- This could get really ugly.
- Yeah, it sure could.
437
00:22:31,861 --> 00:22:35,032
Officer Fisher, isn't it true
that in 2012 you had occasion
438
00:22:35,057 --> 00:22:37,185
to arrest the victim for
selling crack cocaine?
439
00:22:37,293 --> 00:22:38,452
I don't remember.
440
00:22:38,477 --> 00:22:41,183
Perhaps this arrest report
will refresh your recollection.
441
00:22:44,917 --> 00:22:46,097
I guess I did.
442
00:22:46,122 --> 00:22:48,191
And did that arrest
result in a conviction?
443
00:22:48,254 --> 00:22:50,879
Objection! Your Honor, may we approach?
444
00:22:56,969 --> 00:22:58,673
We have information
that Cecilia Duncan took
445
00:22:58,697 --> 00:23:00,493
the rap for the defendant in this case.
446
00:23:00,618 --> 00:23:01,922
The drugs were really his.
447
00:23:01,993 --> 00:23:04,139
That's a nice theory, Judge,
but this is issue preclusion.
448
00:23:04,163 --> 00:23:05,928
There's a certificate of conviction.
449
00:23:06,081 --> 00:23:08,325
We're not going to re-litigate
the issue of who owned the drugs
450
00:23:08,349 --> 00:23:11,273
in that case, Mr. Dashay.
You may proceed, Ms. Sullivan.
451
00:23:12,693 --> 00:23:16,269
Ms. Duncan was convicted of
drug sales and served two years.
452
00:23:16,687 --> 00:23:18,242
- Correct?
- Yes.
453
00:23:18,351 --> 00:23:20,343
You also arrested her
for assault, didn't you?
454
00:23:20,554 --> 00:23:22,865
Ms. Duncan beat up a woman
to collect on a drug debt.
455
00:23:22,890 --> 00:23:24,929
- Allegedly.
- Well, you arrested her for it.
456
00:23:25,031 --> 00:23:26,396
- Yes.
- Pretty typical behavior
457
00:23:26,421 --> 00:23:27,696
for a drug dealer in
that neighborhood, right?
458
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,285
- Objection!
- Sustained.
459
00:23:29,467 --> 00:23:31,989
Fair to say that drug dealers
can have a lot of enemies?
460
00:23:32,036 --> 00:23:33,441
- Yes.
- So Ms. Duncan's death
461
00:23:33,466 --> 00:23:35,208
could be a result of her
drug-dealing business, right?
462
00:23:35,232 --> 00:23:36,965
- Objection!
- Withdrawn.
463
00:23:37,098 --> 00:23:38,564
No further questions.
464
00:23:41,228 --> 00:23:45,459
- That's got to feel good.
- I can't take this.
465
00:23:46,593 --> 00:23:48,059
Vanessa!
466
00:23:59,672 --> 00:24:01,405
You need to take me off this trial.
467
00:24:01,487 --> 00:24:03,286
- Rookie, say what?
- I'm not ready.
468
00:24:03,654 --> 00:24:06,503
- I thought I was, but...
- Okay. Whoa! Easy now.
469
00:24:06,557 --> 00:24:08,073
You're the one who
wanted more serious cases.
470
00:24:08,097 --> 00:24:10,408
I know, but Gwen calls me
like five times a night,
471
00:24:10,433 --> 00:24:12,908
and she may be undead,
because she never sleeps,
472
00:24:12,933 --> 00:24:14,790
and she acts like
everything is World War III
473
00:24:14,815 --> 00:24:16,172
and she does horrible things,
474
00:24:16,197 --> 00:24:18,096
and that guy burned up his girlfriend!
475
00:24:18,182 --> 00:24:19,961
And I know I'm not supposed to care,
476
00:24:19,986 --> 00:24:21,540
but I can't stop thinking about it.
477
00:24:21,565 --> 00:24:25,680
- And I'm freaking out.
- Freaking out is what trial is.
478
00:24:25,705 --> 00:24:29,661
I can't do this. Please.
I'm asking you as my supervisor.
479
00:24:29,715 --> 00:24:32,799
Okay. Okay. Let me talk to Gwen.
480
00:24:33,478 --> 00:24:36,842
But for now you stay on. Understood?
481
00:24:40,842 --> 00:24:42,306
? Say you care ?
482
00:24:42,439 --> 00:24:43,538
Sullivan.
483
00:24:43,673 --> 00:24:45,472
? Nothing but me ?
484
00:24:45,758 --> 00:24:48,180
- Sullivan!
- What?
485
00:24:48,414 --> 00:24:50,086
I'm on trial, in case you didn't notice.
486
00:24:50,127 --> 00:24:51,953
I can see that. We need to talk.
487
00:24:52,062 --> 00:24:54,234
Don't try on your little
supervisor suit with me.
488
00:24:54,327 --> 00:24:55,624
- Looks are...
- You know what makes
489
00:24:55,648 --> 00:24:56,846
a good supervisor?
490
00:24:56,871 --> 00:24:58,779
Being empathetic enough
to know when not to talk.
491
00:24:58,803 --> 00:25:00,510
- You're burning out the rookie.
- No. She's burned out.
492
00:25:00,534 --> 00:25:02,703
- The rookie's fine.
- The rookie is not fine.
493
00:25:02,780 --> 00:25:03,991
The rookie is distressed
494
00:25:04,086 --> 00:25:06,529
because you're sucking her
into your orbit of crazy.
495
00:25:06,756 --> 00:25:09,063
You know I'm working on a
really hard homicide, Charlie.
496
00:25:09,772 --> 00:25:12,178
There's a reason we start
them off with misdemeanors.
497
00:25:12,326 --> 00:25:14,568
They're not supposed to
just jump into murders,
498
00:25:14,615 --> 00:25:16,772
especially not
disgusting ones like this.
499
00:25:16,857 --> 00:25:18,346
- She complained?
- Of course not.
500
00:25:18,401 --> 00:25:20,056
- But I can see it.
- Bullshit, Charlie!
501
00:25:20,081 --> 00:25:21,729
You haven't been able to
see past your own reflection
502
00:25:21,753 --> 00:25:23,010
since you were six.
503
00:25:23,035 --> 00:25:25,946
Aside from the fact that you
just insulted your superior,
504
00:25:25,971 --> 00:25:27,940
as your supervisor, I'm telling you:
505
00:25:28,253 --> 00:25:30,245
burning out the rookie is bad for us.
506
00:25:30,338 --> 00:25:31,759
We need warm bodies around here.
507
00:25:31,807 --> 00:25:34,158
Especially warm Caldwell fellow bodies.
508
00:25:34,291 --> 00:25:37,158
So don't burn out the rookie. We cool?
509
00:25:37,236 --> 00:25:39,744
- You sound like Tom.
- That's my job.
510
00:25:39,783 --> 00:25:41,553
Oh, oh, wait! Have you heard this song?
511
00:25:42,053 --> 00:25:45,782
? You might be a supervisor
but you are still a dick ?
512
00:25:46,417 --> 00:25:50,214
? Wanna burn a hole in my head ?
513
00:25:51,078 --> 00:25:54,224
Yeah. Flag the second page for me.
Oh, God, you again.
514
00:25:54,249 --> 00:25:55,647
I was hoping you were a hallucination
515
00:25:55,671 --> 00:25:57,366
- that I only saw the courtroom.
- And I was hoping
516
00:25:57,390 --> 00:25:59,248
that you'd fall in love
and move far, far away.
517
00:25:59,273 --> 00:26:00,968
- What do you want, EJ?
- New offer.
518
00:26:00,999 --> 00:26:03,067
I'll give your guy 14 years right now.
519
00:26:03,092 --> 00:26:04,577
Or we could start his funeral.
520
00:26:04,647 --> 00:26:06,452
You're dropping this offer
in the middle of a trial?
521
00:26:06,476 --> 00:26:08,008
My assessment of the case has shifted.
522
00:26:08,144 --> 00:26:10,514
My 98% chance of winning
has dropped to 94%.
523
00:26:10,561 --> 00:26:12,418
That's funny. It sounds to me
like you're finally realizing
524
00:26:12,442 --> 00:26:14,175
I've got your scrawny ass on the ropes.
525
00:26:14,245 --> 00:26:16,106
Tell you what? Why don't you
just call your next witness?
526
00:26:16,130 --> 00:26:18,105
Don't you want to run it by your client?
527
00:26:18,222 --> 00:26:20,323
My client will believe me when
I tell him you're bluffing.
528
00:26:20,347 --> 00:26:22,603
Then I'll send you some
tissue when he gets life.
529
00:26:23,503 --> 00:26:25,902
Are the People prepared to proceed?
530
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,143
Your Honor, I've been
informed this morning
531
00:26:33,168 --> 00:26:35,495
that our key witness,
Mr. Khan, the bodega owner
532
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,830
who sold the lighter
fluid to the defendant...
533
00:26:39,999 --> 00:26:41,700
Yes, Counselor, what is it?
534
00:26:43,531 --> 00:26:45,216
He's been murdered, Your Honor.
535
00:26:46,061 --> 00:26:47,660
Oh, my Gosh.
536
00:26:52,572 --> 00:26:54,018
You just tried to sell me a plea?
537
00:26:54,072 --> 00:26:56,624
Your scumbag client
had a witness murdered.
538
00:26:56,658 --> 00:26:57,736
Oh, please.
539
00:26:57,761 --> 00:26:59,619
If you had proof of that,
you'd be arresting him now.
540
00:26:59,643 --> 00:27:01,345
- Did you give him discovery?
- Of course, I did.
541
00:27:01,369 --> 00:27:03,705
- He's my client!
- How could you be so reckless?
542
00:27:03,822 --> 00:27:05,986
- This is on you.
- Don't you dare pin this on me!
543
00:27:06,072 --> 00:27:08,195
If you had concerns about
your witness' safety,
544
00:27:08,228 --> 00:27:10,025
you could have asked
for a protective order.
545
00:27:10,064 --> 00:27:12,301
- You didn't, which is your bad.
- Counselor!
546
00:27:12,650 --> 00:27:15,336
Did you have any specific reason
to be worried about the safety
547
00:27:15,361 --> 00:27:17,001
- of the witness?
- Of course not!
548
00:27:17,269 --> 00:27:19,800
Your Honor, we move to dismiss
this case for lack of evidence.
549
00:27:19,825 --> 00:27:21,202
That's some cold-ass shit!
550
00:27:21,227 --> 00:27:22,771
Without the witness,
there is no evidence
551
00:27:22,795 --> 00:27:24,564
connecting my client to the crime.
552
00:27:24,697 --> 00:27:26,196
The motion is denied, Counselor.
553
00:27:26,331 --> 00:27:28,496
Mr. Dashay, do you have anything else?
554
00:27:28,798 --> 00:27:30,339
- No, Your Honor.
- Ms. Sullivan,
555
00:27:30,409 --> 00:27:32,917
- are you presenting a defense?
- Not anymore.
556
00:27:32,989 --> 00:27:35,553
Okay, then. Summations after lunch.
557
00:27:37,860 --> 00:27:40,097
That man's blood is on your hands...
558
00:27:40,222 --> 00:27:42,918
Tell yourself that all you want,
EJ, but in the dark of night,
559
00:27:42,943 --> 00:27:44,509
you know this was your screw-up.
560
00:27:49,489 --> 00:27:51,021
Don't start.

[MUSIC PLAYING]
562
00:28:24,987 --> 00:28:26,885
- Do we have a problem?
- No.
563
00:28:27,054 --> 00:28:28,918
You sure? �Cause I'm pretty sure
564
00:28:29,053 --> 00:28:31,249
you asked Charlie to
take you off my case.
565
00:28:31,950 --> 00:28:35,016
- I'm sorry. It's just that...
- I chose you.
566
00:28:38,082 --> 00:28:42,478
I took you under my wing and
I chose you for a murder case.
567
00:28:42,612 --> 00:28:45,977
I know. And I'm grateful. I really am.
568
00:28:47,263 --> 00:28:48,263
But he is awful.
569
00:28:48,288 --> 00:28:50,287
We fight for everyone, Vanessa.
570
00:28:50,911 --> 00:28:52,675
- Everyone.
- Yeah, we say that.
571
00:28:52,977 --> 00:28:56,050
But this psycho client killed
someone and he might go free.
572
00:28:56,075 --> 00:28:58,274
- And he's guilty!
- What do you want to do exactly?
573
00:28:58,941 --> 00:29:01,499
You want to hold your own
mini-trial before you decide
574
00:29:01,524 --> 00:29:02,774
who it is you're going to represent?
575
00:29:02,798 --> 00:29:04,478
We are supposed to be
fighting for justice.
576
00:29:04,606 --> 00:29:07,269
Wrong, wrong, wrong!
577
00:29:08,225 --> 00:29:11,005
The canons of ethics demand
that prosecutors pursue justice.
578
00:29:11,030 --> 00:29:15,654
But our job is to fight like
hell for every single client.
579
00:29:15,755 --> 00:29:17,301
Because it's not a fair fight.
580
00:29:17,433 --> 00:29:19,316
It's just you and me against them,
581
00:29:19,341 --> 00:29:22,247
and their cops, and their labs,
and their corrupt-ass judges.
582
00:29:22,458 --> 00:29:26,293
We're fighting for the underdog.
And you're damned right,
583
00:29:26,348 --> 00:29:29,786
we fight to the death for
every single one of them.
584
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,075
Because if we can't win
when our clients are guilty,
585
00:29:32,114 --> 00:29:34,259
but the case against them is shitty,
586
00:29:34,795 --> 00:29:36,793
we can't win when they're innocent.
587
00:29:37,794 --> 00:29:40,693
And if you don't like
it, it is high-time
588
00:29:40,718 --> 00:29:43,725
you take your bougie-ass
back to Caldwell.
589
00:29:46,490 --> 00:29:50,588
Now get out.
I have a summation to finish.

[MUSIC PLAYING]
591
00:30:05,951 --> 00:30:08,151
Have you turned in my review yet?
592
00:30:09,350 --> 00:30:13,647
Good. I evaluated myself. Honestly.
593
00:30:13,882 --> 00:30:15,053
Hmmm.
594
00:30:23,610 --> 00:30:25,243
I'm going to stick with what I wrote.
595
00:30:26,642 --> 00:30:30,825
Wow. Is this a bribe?
Actually, does it matter?
596
00:30:30,926 --> 00:30:35,879
- So we'll go with my eval then.
- No. We'll go with mine.
597
00:30:42,939 --> 00:30:45,402
This is better than
what I wrote for myself.

00:30:47,535 --> 00:30:50,633
Thank you, sugar. Why the change?

00:30:51,235 --> 00:30:54,617
Something Gwen said
about being empathetic.
600
00:30:54,719 --> 00:30:59,829
And I realized I might have been
acting like an asshole, so...
601
00:31:00,939 --> 00:31:02,775
Is there anything else
you want to talk about?
602
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:03,843
Like what?
603
00:31:03,868 --> 00:31:05,508
She won't know unless
you tell her, honey.

Natalie? She's just
a girl from upstairs.

I need to go file this one.
This is really nice.
606
00:31:14,878 --> 00:31:16,291
Oh, yeah, it is nice.

00:31:16,316 --> 00:31:17,682
- I'm keeping this.
- No!

- Oh, yeah...
- Riggs, you haven't changed!

00:31:23,249 --> 00:31:25,347
Judge, I'm sorry.
I don't know where she is.

00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,077
Unless she was going to
deliver the closing statement...
611
00:31:28,213 --> 00:31:31,377
- No, that will be me.
- Then let's get to it.
612
00:31:31,512 --> 00:31:33,345
You can fill her in afterwards.
613
00:31:36,097 --> 00:31:38,974
Let's be clear about one thing
that matters in this case.
614
00:31:40,142 --> 00:31:44,672
There is no evidence that
actually links Mr. Wilson
615
00:31:44,807 --> 00:31:47,938
to the death of Ms. Duncan. None.
616
00:31:48,373 --> 00:31:50,779
Mr. Dashay will tell you
all about their history
617
00:31:50,804 --> 00:31:52,971
of domestic violence,
but while that makes
618
00:31:53,105 --> 00:31:57,769
Mr Wilson unlikeable,
it does not make him a murderer.
619
00:31:58,302 --> 00:31:59,843
Mr. Dashay will also tell you
620
00:31:59,868 --> 00:32:01,634
about Linda Malbon, his ex-girlfriend,
621
00:32:01,770 --> 00:32:04,267
who supposedly provided a motive.
622
00:32:04,867 --> 00:32:06,832
Except there are plenty of other reasons
623
00:32:06,857 --> 00:32:09,832
why Ms. Duncan might have ended up dead.
624
00:32:10,698 --> 00:32:15,296
She was a crack dealer who lived
a life of crime and violence.
625
00:32:15,431 --> 00:32:16,904
Who knows who she might have crossed?
626
00:32:16,928 --> 00:32:18,459
Who knows who she might have shorted?
627
00:32:18,596 --> 00:32:20,337
Any number of people might
have had beef with her,
628
00:32:20,361 --> 00:32:25,690
including Linda Malbon herself.
The sad truth is this:
629
00:32:26,359 --> 00:32:31,456
When you live by drug violence,
you often die by drug violence.
630
00:32:32,424 --> 00:32:36,320
All the prosecution has in this case,
are theories and conjecture.
631
00:32:37,127 --> 00:32:39,594
They certainly didn't bring
you any witnesses who provided
632
00:32:39,619 --> 00:32:43,652
any evidence directly connecting
Mr. Wilson to the crime.
633
00:32:45,287 --> 00:32:50,517
You swore an oath to do a job,
to follow that singular rule
634
00:32:50,851 --> 00:32:54,747
of holding the prosecution
to their burden of proof.
635
00:32:55,549 --> 00:32:59,646
They must prove Mr. Wilson
guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
636
00:33:02,703 --> 00:33:05,700
Ladies and gentlemen,
you don't have to like Mr. Wilson.
637
00:33:06,235 --> 00:33:10,667
But you must find him not guilty.
638
00:33:18,231 --> 00:33:22,427
Ms. Sullivan says there's
no evidence in this case.
639
00:33:22,963 --> 00:33:25,626
Well, you heard the evidence.
You heard it
640
00:33:25,761 --> 00:33:28,559
from his current girlfriend,
the mother of his child,
641
00:33:28,694 --> 00:33:31,491
tell you about his motive
to kill Cecilia Duncan.
642
00:33:31,792 --> 00:33:34,589
How she threatened to take
everything if they broke up.
643
00:33:35,090 --> 00:33:38,656
You also heard that he was
violent with the victim.
644
00:33:38,791 --> 00:33:42,321
He had an ongoing
history of beating her up.
645
00:33:43,089 --> 00:33:44,815
Now, Ms. Sullivan would have you believe
646
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,750
that it is a long road
from assault to murder.
647
00:33:47,887 --> 00:33:50,917
It's not. And everyone
sitting in here knows it.
648
00:33:52,186 --> 00:33:55,116
With domestic violence,
women all too often end up dead
649
00:33:55,117 --> 00:33:56,916
at the hand of their abuser.
650
00:33:57,637 --> 00:34:02,502
This man had motive. He had opportunity.
651
00:34:02,748 --> 00:34:05,812
And that is enough to
make him a murderer.
652
00:34:20,109 --> 00:34:21,907
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
653
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:23,772
I understand you have a verdict.

- We do, Your Honor.
- How do you find?
655
00:34:27,139 --> 00:34:29,669
On the charge of murder
in the second degree,
656
00:34:29,804 --> 00:34:32,381
we find the defendant, Justin Wilson,
657
00:34:32,455 --> 00:34:33,987
not guilty.
658
00:34:35,835 --> 00:34:37,301
Nice job.
659
00:34:39,469 --> 00:34:41,534

[MUSIC PLAYING]
661
00:34:56,468 --> 00:34:57,967
All I've been able to think about
662
00:34:58,101 --> 00:35:00,465
is whether or not I did the right thing.
663
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,264
She told me we had an ethical
duty not to say anything.
664
00:35:04,565 --> 00:35:06,362
But I should have said something.
665
00:35:07,296 --> 00:35:09,661
- I'm sorry.
- It's not your fault.
666
00:35:10,296 --> 00:35:12,600
I mean, I messed up. I should have asked
667
00:35:12,625 --> 00:35:14,193
for a protective order, and I didn't.
668
00:35:14,327 --> 00:35:16,726

given the report to him.

I mean, she just wants to win.

00:35:19,858 --> 00:35:21,624
She doesn't care about the greater good.
671
00:35:21,992 --> 00:35:25,423
I used to think that I
could do this job, but now...
672
00:35:25,557 --> 00:35:27,822
But now you're starting
to see the truth.
673
00:35:27,895 --> 00:35:29,749
That there's no difference
between the criminals,
674
00:35:29,773 --> 00:35:34,037
- and the ones who defend them.
- And where does that leave me?
675
00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:41,151
I don't know. I guess
you'll have to decide.
676
00:35:48,847 --> 00:35:52,012

? Oh, oh, oh ?

? God, give me the strength
To meet my life's demands ?
683
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,423
? Help me to break the bonds
That hold me down ?
684
00:36:53,559 --> 00:36:56,856
? To things of a lesser cost ?
685
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,852
? Help me to climb To greater heights ?
686
00:36:59,902 --> 00:37:00,945
Bennett!
687
00:37:01,004 --> 00:37:04,568
? Because my soul demands
That I must wait for it ?
688
00:37:05,753 --> 00:37:09,218
? Wait for it, wait for it ?
689
00:37:12,145 --> 00:37:13,809
Bennett!
690
00:37:15,684 --> 00:37:18,715
- I heard you won your case.
- Yeah.
691
00:37:19,485 --> 00:37:23,749
I also heard about the
witness and I... I'm sorry.
692
00:37:23,882 --> 00:37:25,514
I am too.
693
00:37:28,259 --> 00:37:30,649
You know you didn't do
anything wrong, right?
694
00:37:30,947 --> 00:37:32,878
I know, but...
695
00:37:38,378 --> 00:37:40,476
Someone's dead.
696
00:37:44,016 --> 00:37:46,464
Look, I know me being on trial
is really hard to deal with.
697
00:37:46,547 --> 00:37:48,321
You being on trial is not the hard part.
698
00:37:48,399 --> 00:37:50,203
It's who you become
when you're on trial.
699
00:37:50,289 --> 00:37:52,903
And, I know you're
under a lot of pressure
700
00:37:53,300 --> 00:37:55,028
and you have people's
lives in your hands, but...
701
00:37:55,052 --> 00:37:57,548
It's not an excuse to shut you out.
702
00:37:58,137 --> 00:38:01,434
I know. And I'm sorry.
703
00:38:04,907 --> 00:38:07,410
- I bought us a cake.
- A cake.
704
00:38:07,763 --> 00:38:10,028
I don't cook and a whole
meal would have gotten cold,
705
00:38:10,161 --> 00:38:14,196
so I ordered us a cake.
It says �Home Sweet Home�.
706
00:38:15,731 --> 00:38:18,294
I'm in love with the
worst potential wife ever.
707
00:38:18,661 --> 00:38:21,257
- Is that so bad?
- Mmm-mmm.
708
00:38:21,567 --> 00:38:24,792
It's just going to take
a little getting used to.
709
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,091
Does that mean you want some cake?
710
00:38:29,224 --> 00:38:30,757
I want some cake.
711
00:38:33,191 --> 00:38:34,534
It's good. It's chocolate.
712
00:38:34,660 --> 00:38:35,660
Hmm-mmm.
713
00:38:35,789 --> 00:38:39,058
Oh! I got you these.
714
00:38:39,190 --> 00:38:42,419
I wanted to give them to you
during our celebration dinner.
715
00:38:44,752 --> 00:38:45,892
A private tour
716
00:38:45,917 --> 00:38:47,925
of the National Museum of
African-American history?
717
00:38:48,175 --> 00:38:50,583
- Haven't you been already?
- Not with you.
718
00:38:51,316 --> 00:38:53,282
Oh, Bennett.
719
00:38:55,416 --> 00:38:58,079
Oh shit, that's the courthouse.
I... I have to...
720
00:38:58,159 --> 00:38:59,924
- Answer it.
- OK.
721
00:39:01,813 --> 00:39:03,312
Gwen Sullivan.
722
00:39:05,001 --> 00:39:07,510
Yes, Your Honor, of course.
I'll be right there.
723
00:39:11,244 --> 00:39:13,275
I get it. Go.
724
00:39:17,705 --> 00:39:19,470
De-de-di-di-di.
725

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
726
00:39:30,422 --> 00:39:31,619
Come in.
727
00:39:32,376 --> 00:39:34,017
Thank you for coming
on such short notice.
728
00:39:34,135 --> 00:39:35,467
Of course, it sounded urgent.
729
00:39:35,751 --> 00:39:38,063
You're aware of the cop that was killed?
730
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,631
Yes, it's been all over the news.
731
00:39:41,487 --> 00:39:43,331
I want you to represent the defendant.
732
00:39:44,132 --> 00:39:45,664
Me? Why?
733
00:39:46,089 --> 00:39:48,425
A white cop killed by a young black man.
734
00:39:48,652 --> 00:39:51,605
The witnesses say he shot
the officer in self-defense.
735
00:39:51,667 --> 00:39:53,662
This case is going to
be bigger than Ferguson.
736
00:39:54,305 --> 00:39:56,398
The prosecution has been building a case
737
00:39:56,423 --> 00:39:59,344
since the shot was fired.
The black community... no!
738
00:39:59,407 --> 00:40:01,477
The whole city needs to know.
739
00:40:01,571 --> 00:40:03,456
This kid is going to get a fair trial.
740
00:40:04,063 --> 00:40:06,721
I can't think of a better attorney
than you, Ms. Sullivan.
741
00:40:08,178 --> 00:40:09,509
I don't know what to say.
742
00:40:09,786 --> 00:40:11,951
Right now, you don't
have to say anything.
743
00:40:12,601 --> 00:40:14,233
But there is something you could do.
744
00:40:14,900 --> 00:40:16,515
- What's that?
- You could go home
745
00:40:16,540 --> 00:40:18,984
and get some sleep.
You're about to be the attorney
746
00:40:19,009 --> 00:40:21,250
in what could be the
trial of a lifetime.
747
00:40:30,581 --> 00:40:32,412
Next time, on In Contempt...
748
00:40:32,546 --> 00:40:35,010
Jackson Alan Whitmore
of Washington Heights
749
00:40:35,146 --> 00:40:38,244
is accused of shooting
officer Jacob Lockman.
750
00:40:38,378 --> 00:40:40,744
Like so many other black
men in this country,
751
00:40:40,878 --> 00:40:44,141
Jackson was aggressively
confronted by a police officer.
752
00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:47,172
The prosecution is moving
to preclude self-defense.
753
00:40:47,309 --> 00:40:49,383
Shouldn't you be sitting at
the other table, Counselor?
754
00:40:49,407 --> 00:40:51,383
Ms. Hastings recently
joined our office, Your Honor.
755
00:40:51,407 --> 00:40:53,104
You don't eat well, you don't sleep,
756
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:54,739
and you�re addicted to that shit.
757
00:40:54,872 --> 00:40:55,872
I'm fine.
758
00:40:55,940 --> 00:40:57,003
