All language subtitles for Raising the Bar s01e08 Out on the Roof.eng

[siren blares]

[Richard] Deondre Curtis
has a club foot, OK?

A thick shoe maybe.

He limps into arraignment
and Yank My Chain winces.

It's painful to watch.

- "Yank my Chain?"
- Judge Yankershane. Nightmare.

Clerk says robbery
in the second degree.

The ADA gets up
with a straight face

and says Deondre's been ID'd
in a series of purse snatches

on Madison Avenue.
So I say my guy can barely walk.

How's he gonna grab a
purse and run with it?

And "Yank my Chain" says,

"Considering Mr.
Curtis' prior convictions,

I'm sure he can find a way."

Now ask me what
Deondre's priors are.

Possession. Yeah.

- You believe that?
- Wow.

- Huh.
- What?

Rich, when was the last time you...

- Got laid?
- What are you talking about?

The blonde that just
threw herself at you.

- She didn't.
- [Jerry] You're a blind man.

She got a good look at your résumé.

But since we have the
night off, by all means,

tell us more about Deondre
Curtis and his club foot.

All right, I didn't
notice the girl. Truth is,

I don't notice most women.

I've got a confession to make.

I got a thing for Roz.

- Roz?
- Big time.

To the point where everyone else

just kind of fades
into the background.

- You think that's bad?
- Roz is a head turner,

but, brother, she's your boss.

[cell phone rings]

- Hello.
- [man] Blanco?

Hold on. Excuse me.

Rafael?

I didn't want to call
you like this.

- What's going on?
- They arrested me for dealing.

Me! Can you believe it?

I gave an undercover cop
a couple of tabs of...

- Whoa.
- He was begging me for it,

I swear. The whole
thing was a set up

and now the cops are telling me

I'm going to jail for,
like, years.

This is really screwed up.

I need you to help me fix this.

- I can't help you.
- Please.

I'm talking about jail here.

Serious time for something
that I didn't do.

I can't deal with this by myself.

I know you care about me,
even though it scares you.

Blanco, are you there?

You're in the system now.

We can't see each other,
can't talk to each other.

In the courtroom don't
even look at me.

OK, I get it.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna get you a lawyer.

- Blanco?
- He's the best one I know.

OK.

[woman laughs]

[dialing]

[sighs]

I've got to make a call.

Dude.

How much have you had to drink?

- How much have I had to drink?
- Jerry.

I don't know. A beer and a half.
What's going on?

I have a friend who's
about to be arraigned.

- He needs a lawyer.
- You want me to handle it?

I know you worked all day.
I'm asking for a favor.

I definitely owe you one.

What friend of yours
needs a public defender?

Part of this has got to
be that you don't ask why.

Charlie.

Can you live with that?

[siren blares]

[Rafael] I don't know how the
guy found out I had the tabs.

I don't even know why he cared.

I mean, it's the Nico
Fumiyoro afterparty.

Hello! The whole place was rolling.

Even Nico was out of his mind.
That big old queen.

Were you passing
the ecstasy around?

I gave a couple to the
friends I came with.

An hour later we're
sitting in the back,

this guy comes up to me, he's
sweating me so hard for a hit,

half a hit, saying he's gonna
pay me whatever I want,

but I tell him no.

I'm not selling, I
don't even have any.

But he's like, "
No, you're lying, I know you do."

And he starts begging me.
So stupid me, I start to feel bad.

I mean, it's pathetic
how desperate he is.

I'm like, "
Here, just take a couple."

All of a sudden he's
showing me his badge.

I'm looking at him like, "What?"

He's telling me that
he's an undercover cop

and that I'm under arrest.

It's like entrapment or something.

- I wasn't even selling.
- Giving qualifies as dealing.

Unqualify it. 'Cause I
don't want Blanco thinking

- I'm a dealer, 'cause I'm not.
- Blanco?

Charlie. He says you're
an amazing lawyer.

Hopefully we can plead it
to misdemeanor possession,

but you have a felony
conviction on your record.

- Wait. That's a paper felony.
- Rafael.

It was a bad check on a
used car and I paid it back

so it doesn't count.
It was, like, seven years ago.

They gave me a slap on the wrist.

It counts. All felonies count.

You don't understand.

I cannot do time.

I know what will
happen to me in prison.

I'll kill myself before
I go through that.

Time served, surcharges waived.
Let's keep it going.

[man] Docket ending 6287, People v.
Rafael de la Cruz.

Charged with criminal sale
of a controlled substance

in the fourth degree.

Jerry Kellerman for the Office of the
Public Defender for Mr. De la Cruz.

Mr. De la Cruz has a prior
felony and with the sale

there's a mandatory state prison
sentence of at least two years.

We're asking for $3,500 bail.

My client is an up and coming
fashion designer. There was no sale.

And you in dungarees, Mr.
Kellerman.

Make your case to the grand jury.

Bail is set at $2,500, over $2,500.

Case is adjourned for grand jury action.
Part Nine Judge Kessler.

Next!

We just caught a break here.
Sit tight.

Hey.

Tell me this is good news,

'cause now Kessler is
all we got going for us.

- I wish I could.
- She won't do you a favor?

Not without asking questions
that I can't answer.

Charlie.

Can you post bail if I
pay you back right away?

Can I post bail for my client?

Of course not, never mind.

I'd do it if my name wasn't
on the notice of appearance.

No, no, I get it.

Ask the CO's to hold him
for a couple of hours

instead of sending him
straight to Rikers?

- I can do that.
- OK. Good.

I don't care how you're
involved with this guy.

Do you hear me? If you're
thinking about posting bail

for a defendant in
your courtroom, don't.

Just work your magic with the CO's.

Come on, man, talk to me.

Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.

- Good news?
- Whatever suits you.

What we have is the
liquor store owner

who says you were holding the gun.

But since the gunman was wearing
a hoodie and sunglasses,

the ID is based on height
and build. It's flimsy.

- Plus your record's clean.
- I'm 18.

I'm a youthful offender
with no predicate.

That makes me eligible
for probation.

Eligible, but the
more likely scenario

because of the shotgun...

And the fact the liquor
store also sells weed.

Right.

Probably looking at
a six month split.

Four months at Rikers.

And the balance of five
years on probation.

You been talking to
your jailhouse lawyer?

Something like that.

Can you get me the split, Roberta?

I'm gonna do my best.

I'll do the four months.

Docket ending 6322, People v.
Timothy Nolan.

Charged with robbery
in the first degree.

Roberta Gilardi, Public
Defender for Mr. Nolan,

- waive readings, not rights.
- Defendant used a shotgun

to rob a liquor store.
People ask for $50,000 bail.

For an 18-year-old kid with no prior?
Hardly a flight risk.

You could say the same for
armed robbery, yet here we are.

Bail is set for
50,000, over 50,000.

Case is adjourned for grand
jury action Part Six,

which would be... me.

Fifty large? I must be dangerous.

This will count against
my time, right?

Then all is well.
You just get me my split.

Posting bail for Rafael de la Cruz.

De la Cruz, Rafael, $2,500.

Write your name and address

where you want your
bail sent back to.

He'll be coming out of the...

...of the courtroom.

Appreciate you guys coming in.

Always a pleasure to pay a visit.

You ever get jungle fever?

You're pretty clever for a fat guy.

You're pretty black for
a guy named McGrath.

Since I know you won't be making
an intelligent contribution.

- I'm the grand jury. Go.
- All right. Timmy Nolan...

The report says we got
the call at about 10:30.

Mmm. Cream. Good.

We found the liquor
store owner and his wife

waiting at the scene.
She was working the register.

He was in the back
during the robbery.

Wife described the perp as a
white male, 5'11", 165 pounds.

He wore a green hooded sweatshirt.

Took her and her husband for a ride

in the neighborhood next day
and she saw the defendant

crossing 10th Avenue
and 52nd Street

and identified him as the
individual in question.

- Boom. We good?
- Your partner's good.

You got schmutz on your face.

One last question so
we're not tripped up.

The original description
has the suspect

as a white male in his early 30's.

- Yes.
- Timmy Nolan's 18.

He looks old, though. Life of crime.
It'll do that to you.

Savvy.

When she ID'd the kid he
was wearing the sweatshirt.

She said she was sure.

- She's not good with ages.
- He did the thing, OK.

- He's a Nolan.
- So?

The whole family's bad.
The grandfather,

father, uncle, brother...

Kid's got Irish scumbag
in his blood, McGrath.

Thanks for the donut.

What happened to you
guys last night?

Something very wrong with
the yams came on quick.

I got an easy adjournment over
in Jacowitz's Part. Cover it?

Uh... I'm kind of buried.
What time?

Clients like familiar faces.
Got a conflict?

Trying to pull a
rabbit out of the hat

for Rafael de la Cruz.
Undercover cop begs him for drugs

so he gives him a couple
of his extra tabs.

They arrest him for distribution
and the DA wants two...

- ...which they're gonna get.
- His word against the cop.

Kid's not a dealer.
He's just... I don't know.

Club queen. I can't figure it out.

Can I see the complaint?

- The chemical name for ecstasy?
- Methylenedioxymethamphetamine.

Shouldn't it be on there?

Facial insufficiency.
I can run with that.

And you can take care of the
Jacowitz adjournment yourself.

Timmy Nolan's older
brother is Adam.

Same height and weight, same build

and two shotgun
robberies on his record.

Both neighborhood weed spots
like the liquor store.

Where there's weed there's cash.

Big bro taught little
bro how to get ahead.

Maybe, but the owner's
first description

said the gunman was
in his early 30's.

Adam's 31. Timmy's 18.

I think Zuicki and
Damiglio got the wrong guy.

The kids wants to deal.

Probably the family tells him to.

Adam would be looking at 25
to life if he'd been pinched.

But it's the luck of the Irish
and they grab the kid instead.

The brother, father,
uncle, they all done time.

They tell the kid forget
about trial and bend over.

They know the most he's gonna do

being 18 and clean is
a couple of months.

Mm-hmm. Wow.

You're good. This must have come
to you in a dream or something.

It adds up, Nick.

Timmy Nolan doesn't.

That's for the cops to worry about.

We got a bird in the hand, and
he wants to deal. Make a deal.

So Adam can reload and go again,
maybe shoot somebody next time?

All right. Dig around
if you want to.

But not on my time and you're
not cutting this kid loose.

Unless they charge
the older brother.

Ain't gonna happen.

How much do I hate Michelle
Ernhardt right now?

This much?

Darryl Brooks has been in jail

for almost two years
waiting for her.

- How many chargeable days?
- 165.

Eighteen more, they gotta dismiss.
Speed trial clock.

She just filed a statement of
readiness which stops the clock.

She's not ready to go to trial.

She's trying to buy more days.

You know what? I'm ready.

Brooks is grand larceny.

You don't want to
risk going to trial.

She doesn't have a case.
She knows that.

She's trying to stall.

I'm tired her
manipulating the system.

She says she's ready,
she can saddle up.

- Hola, Ricky.
- Lisa.

- Everything OK?
- Yeah.

- What's going on?
- Uh, paperwork.

[Lisa] Fun.

- Yeah.
- Thanks.

Um... Hey, just
because I visited you

at your place of employ

doesn't mean you need
to return the favor.

Our interaction should have
ended when your case did.

- Wendell begs to differ.
- Who's Wendell, your cat?

Are you thinking
about my cat, Ricky?

Wendell is my Ethics professor.

He said that certain relationships

between a client and attorney
are perfectly ethical.

I need help in criminal procedure.

I'm on the cut line
for the Barry Award.

Barry Award. Constitutional
law, criminal law...

And ethics.

I'll pay you.

- You're not gonna pay me, Lisa.
- You'll do it?

Listen, I'm not sure that I'm...

Qualified? You couldn't
be more qualified.

And I really need the help.

Come on. What's the problem?

[cars honking]

What do you think?

I don't know.

You're questioning our police work.

Like Damiglio said,
woman ID'd Timmy Nolan,

case should be closed.

It should be closed, but no.

Shaft here had to
ride up on the scene.

Somewhere inside your tiny mind
what I'm saying makes sense.

All right, you got a theory.

What do you want us to do?

Pull Adam in, see if he'll talk.

Oh, that won't be a waste of time.

I'm asking for a favor here.

All right, Marcus, one time.

One pick up.
We're bringing him to you.

Perfect. Consider yourself owed.

I hate you, McGrath.

Is this a bad time to tell
you I'm dating your sister?

[Kessler] Motion to dismiss?

This ought to be good.

If you look at the complaint

it asserts that Mr.
De la Cruz offered, I quote,

"Ecstasy to undercover
number 6734."

And?

I'm confused about what happened.

Webster defines ecstasy as "joy."

Or "exaltation" or "bliss."

- Maybe he meant "bliss."
- Yeah. Maybe.

Are we talking about attempted
solicitation? If we are,

that's a misdemeanor, not a felony.

[Jerry] At the least,
we'd have to revisit bail.

Chemical name of the
drug was left out.

[Michelle] We'll fix
it before grand jury.

The complaint is
facially insufficient.

There's no real
controlled substance

and no real assertion
that my client

did anything illegal. It's grounds

- for immediate dismissal.
- Please.

I happen to think this
is an excellent motion.

- Well done, Mr. Kellerman.
- Thank you.

Now write it up and
I'll consider it.

I'll give you a week.

I'll have it in this afternoon.

People have two weeks to respond.

Two weeks? She said it herself.
The complaint will be corrected

- and my motion will be moot.
- I made my decision.

- [Jerry] No.
- Excuse me?

You're not screwing me.
You have to dismiss.

Judge Kessler, it
is unconstitutional

to hold someone under
a defective complaint.

You are violating his rights.
You must dismiss.

You are pushing just about all
of my buttons, Mr. Kellerman.

Not the one that makes
you a decent judge.

Enough! Let it go!

I'm sorry.

What the hell was that?

- I'm sorry.
- You had to come to my defense?

No.

At the end of the day
I could care less

what Kellerman says to me.

- I was just...
- What you did

was actually damaging

because it undermined my authority.
Totally unacceptable.

I know. I'm sorry.

It was inappropriate.

Yes, it was.

[door shuts]

Travesty of justice.

My little brother would
never hit a liquor store.

Too green for a sophisticated
job like that, right?

- Ain't really his style.
- But it is your style.

I'm just a citizen who
abides by the law, detective.

That's funny, 'cause I see here

you like to rob, what do
you know, liquor stores.

So said the jury.
It doesn't make it true.

Besides, I was home that day.

- Of course you were.
- June 4 is my ma's birthday.

We had a party for her.
Tea and cake.

It's a Nolan family tradition.

You gonna let little
Timmy take the fall?

My hands are tied, detective.

You don't expect me
to confess to a crime

I didn't commit, do you?

We've got to bring back
the woman who made the ID.

- Let her get a look at him.
- Whoa whoa. We?

I love these ADA's.

They all want to be Kojak
as long as we do the work.

We're not bringing in the witness.

He just gave you a nothing alibi.

You gotta keep pressing him. Guys.

We're done. You got your favor.

We're going back to
playing straight.

If you still got a hard-on for
this guy you're on your own.

- You rang?
- Come in, have a seat.

- So, Lisa Landis.
- Lisa Landis.

- Your client.
- My tutee.

- Your tutee?
- Yeah.

You remember she's a
law student at Fordham?

She needs help on criminal law.

So she asked you?

- Yes.
- Hmm.

There's a reason we don't get
involved after their cases end.

Because they usually end
up as return customers.

The question of what we were
thinking when they were clients.

We're not involved.

Lisa asked me to help
her with her studies...

Please tell me you're
not this blind.

I'm not blind, Roz, honestly.

She's smart and motivated.

She's young and impressionable
and she's got some issues.

Burlesque is a legitimate
form of artistic expression.

She's got some issues.

I've seen what she wears
when she comes to see you.

- She wore a sweater.
- Do you not see these things

or do you just choose not to?

Her point is to make an impression

that has nothing
to do with her GPA.

By the way, I've seen
you respond to it.

Lisa and I get along.

That's it.

I went out of my way
to clearly define

the boundaries in our relationship.

Good. It would reflect
badly on this office

if it were otherwise.

I think you've got
this all wrong, Roz.

Well, I hope so.

Yeah.

[telephone rings]

Michelle.

Bobbi.

Got your statement of readiness
for the Brooks trial.

- Great.
- So let's do it.

I'm ready.

My client's more than
ready, you're ready,

let's go pick a jury.

- I'm gonna get back to you.
- So you're not ready?

I just have to get back to you.

I don't get it. Why say
you're ready if you're not?

- Enough, all right?
- Enough?

The third time you tried
to stop the clock on this?

My client is rotting in prison,
you can't get your act together.

Get it together or cut
your losses and get out.

I've been trying to get in touch.

Timmy Nolan wants to make a deal.

Yeah, we should go for a walk.

Maybe not the spitting
image of Timmy,

but the same height,
weight, just older.

Adam matches the original
description. - Yep.

She sees Timmy wearing the same
hoodie and makes the bad ID.

- Marcus, you gotta dismiss.
- Not that simple.

- You got the wrong guy.
- Not according to Timmy Nolan.

Timmy Nolan wants to
make a deal, remember?

He's just following a script.

He's got to give us Adam.
Then I let him walk.

- Marcus.
- That's where we're at, Bobbi.

Timmy's going to
jail for his brother.

No way he'll rat him out.

Is he willing to go to
jail for five years?

Five years? Are you out of your mind?
He's a youthful offender.

Not in my book.

He should get a six month split.

So he can let his hoodlum
brother off the hook?

No, thanks. Either he
does the right thing

or he does the whole indictment.

- You know this isn't right.
- I've done what I can.

Talk to your client.

- What's up with your friend?
- My friend?

Gilardi. Bobbi?

I'm trying to stop the
clock on this case

and she's being a total pain.

Her client deserves a
speedy trial, Michelle.

Come on. You and I both know

she doesn't want to risk a trial.

Trying to call my bluff.

Stop bluffing.
You got a case, try it.

- If not, drop it.
- I have a case.

I'm just not ready yet.

- Can you talk to her?
- And say what?

That she should consent
to an adjournment.

Which I've asked for,
like, five times.

Come on, Jerry.

I can't count how many times
you've asked me for a favor.

- I'll see what I can do.
- You rock.

If we can talk about
Rafael de la Cruz.

Did I say rock? I meant suck.

What about him?

[electric buzz]

Roberta. You couldn't stay away.
But you look sad.

DA isn't willing to reduce charges.

The best we can do is five years.

Five years?

- How much of that is probation?
- None.

You plead to the entire indictment

you get a straight five years.

Otherwise we go to trial and
you gamble against five to 25.

The odds are against us.

What happened to
my six month split?

You said you'd get that.

Five years was never
part of the plan.

Whose plan is that?

Your brother's?

Timmy, I'm your lawyer.

Anything you say is between
you, me and nobody else.

You got fingered for a
crime your brother did.

Since he figured your
sentence would be light

he asked you to do time for him.

That's a hell of a story, Roberta.

But the way I tell it, the older
brother doesn't have to ask.

It's a family decree.

Time for the boy to sacrifice

for the family that's
done so much for him.

Time for the boy to be a man.

You should be in school.
Let me help.

What's the cost?

- Cost?
- What do I have to do?

Tell the truth about Adam.

- Well, this discussion is over.
- Just listen.

You don't understand my family.

I know what it's like
when the word "family"

makes you feel powerless.

I know what it is to feel lost.

But that's just a mirage, you know?

Your life is your life,
no matter what they think.

I love what you're
saying, Roberta, I do.

But I'm just not sure it's true.

[man talking on TV]

Say your last name for me again.

Gilardi.

Mmm.

For Pete's sake, Frank,

you could turn off the
TV while we have company.

[groans]

- Oh, no.
- American chop suey.

I raised my boys on this.

So, Timmy didn't tell us he
had such a pretty lawyer.

Have either of you
spoken to Timmy recently?

Not in a couple of days.

Then you haven't heard the DA won't go
any lower than five years in prison.

- Five years?
- Brilliant. There you go.

Pipe it.

But Timmy's a good boy.

He should be getting a better deal.

The deal he should be getting

is freedom, considering
he's innocent.

Isn't that your job?
Are you a lawyer

or just a pair of tickets?

Maybe if you stop looking
at my tickets, Frank,

you'd see Timmy getting raked
over coals because of you.

You don't know what
you're talking about.

I know Adam was the one who
robbed the liquor store.

Watch your mouth.

You best be careful what you say.

[woman] What are you doing?

Don't threaten me.

When's the last time
you begged for mercy?

Shut up! Get out!

- Ma!
- Get out! Go! Go!

Take your food and get out.

Here. Eat in the street like
the animals you are. Go!

Move it! Both of you!

Go on!

I'm sorry.

They're not used to company.

Timmy's 18 years old, Mrs. Nolan.

He's got nothing but opportunity
staring him in the face.

Five years in jail
takes it all away.

I know my son.

- He'll be OK.
- He'll survive.

Maybe.

But he'll lose every ounce
of the optimism and innocence

that makes him such an amazing kid.

You have any children,
sweetheart? - No.

Adam spent half his adult
life in the penitentiary.

What kind of mother would I be
if I let him do 15 more? Hmm?

And for what?
So Timothy can run around

begging for change with his guitar?

And meanwhile, my oldest
is behind bars when I die?

It's the toughest job in the world.

And we do what we have to.

You'll see.

- Hey.
- [sighs]

Bad time to ask for a favor?

It's never a bad time, Jerry,

because I am made of Teflon.

The world can throw
crap at me for a week

and it just slides right off.

Wow. OK, I'll get back to you.

- What do you need?
- You sure?

I need you to give
Michelle Ernhardt

an adjournment on the
Darryl Brooks case.

You're kidding me, right?

Suddenly I kinda
wish I was, but no.

That girl consistently shows
nothing but contempt for me.

Meanwhile, she's screwing my
client six ways to Sunday.

I'm not gonna tell
you you're wrong.

Good. She's not
getting squat from me.

But I'd still like you to
give her the adjournment

as a favor to me.

- I bust my ass for my clients.
- I know.

I don't appreciate my work
being reduced to leverage

- so you can make a deal.
- You're saving somebody

from years in a state pen.
Does that make it better?

Is that somebody Timmy Nolan?

No. Sorry.

Me, too.

The proposed disposition

is misdemeanor possession
and time served?

- Yes, Your Honor.
- Which is all of three days.

Nice to see the District
Attorney's office

bringing the hammer down.

Further review by
the People revealed

some flaws in the
evidence, Your Honor.

See to it your work's more
professional in the future.

Yes, Your Honor.

And Mr. De la Cruz, I assume
you agree to plead guilty

to criminal possession
of a controlled substance

in the seventh degree?

I agree.

Sweet freedom.

You are the most
amazing lawyer ever.

Congratulations.

- I'm gonna give you a hug.
- Come on.

Hi.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Get me out of here.

Oh, my God. You saved my life.
You don't even know.

I'm saying goodbye.

Right.

You're scared. You're not ready.
You know where this all leads.

Us going like this.

And bad things happening.
I'm not making that mistake again.

This girl's sticking to you.

- Rafael, listen.
- Be still, honey baby.

Don't make me take
this to the next level.

You don't have to.

[sighs] You are unbelievably sexy.

And you know it and...

You're comfortable with it.

I envy you that.

But you can't seem to
stay out of trouble.

- Look, Blanco, it wasn't...
- And it's never your fault.

It's always somebody else.

You don't take responsibility.

Gay or straight, I can't
have that in my life.

My friends, people I'm close to,

would bend over backwards for me,

as I would for them.

They make me feel safe.

I don't think you can do that.

I can try.

I'm a better person
with you in my life.

But I'm worse.

And I'm not willing
to live with that.

Take care of yourself.

You're really not gonna back off?

Client agreed to the plea.

Marcus, it's a ridiculous
deal and you know it.

I hate this case, Bobbi,

but Balco is not giving
me any wiggle room.

Plus, I'm not doing my job

if I let these people
work the system.

Tell me you're here
to turn yourself in.

For what?

[man] Number five. People of the State
of New York v. Timothy Nolan.

- Robbery in the first degree.
- We have a disposition.

- What would that be?
- Defendant pleads to

robbery 1st, robbery
in the second degree,

possession of a weapon second,

possession of weapon
in third degree,

criminal possession of
stolen property. Five years.

- The entire indictment?
- That's correct, Your Honor.

Does this represent your wishes?

- You don't have to do this.
- Mr. Nolan?

Do me a favor and
hold my hand again.

I'll take the five years, Judge.

Mr. Nolan, by entering this
plea you admit that on June 4

at approximately 5:36pm you
attempted... [fades out]

We're all going over to the
bar if you want to join us.

Probably be talking
about, I don't know, work.

- Really?
- Yeah, for a change.

Thanks, but I'm gonna
make my way home soon.

I was thinking about what
you said the other day,

about me being blind.

- I was rude. I'm sorry.
- No, you were right.

You see, when it comes
to the arena of women,

um...

...I have a blind spot where
I just kind of miss stuff.

- Richard...
- So, it occurred to me that

I might have missed something

when we were talking
about Lisa Landis.

- Like what?
- Like that you were jealous.

Don't be ridiculous.

I'm just throwing it out there.

Well, reel it back in.

OK.

Well, just in case I'm still right,

I want you to know something.

If you said you were available...

...no other woman in
the world would exist.

I'll see you tomorrow.

[distant siren blares]

[soft rock music plays]

[women laugh]

Thank you.

- Keller Boy.
- Still mad?

Maybe a little.

Seems like you got
a new best friend.

She bought me a drink.

She's not a monster.

- I guess you'd know.
- Meaning what?

Something between you two.

I can't believe it took
me this long to see it.

- There's nothing between us.
- Yes, there is.

I lost sleep thinking about why
she's been so bitchy to me.

Because she's an ambitious ADA.

That, and you're dating her.

[chuckles]

- Categorically false.
- Then you two dated recently.

Jerry, I'm a woman.
I know the signs when I see them.

Uh, excuse me.

Come on.

Where?

Out of a sticky situation.

Somewhere where we can talk.

[cars honking]

Is this sticky situation
called life, Jerry?

'Cause you might want to
go higher than six stories.

Spoken like a true expert.

Career suicide.
You're on the brink.

- Tell me why.
- Why was not part of the deal.

But I don't care. The deal ended

when you bailed out a defendant
you were adjudicating.

You're gonna lose your
job anybody finds out.

Your law license will
be suspended. Insane.

Then I guess we have to
hope that no one finds out.

Come on, brother, talk to me here.

I have nothing to say.

Fine. But you know what?
I'm gonna say it for you.

Your career. Everything you've
worked for since high school.

The chance to be a judge.

You jeopardize it all

because you don't want
anybody to know you're gay.

But we love who we love, Charlie.

We all have secrets. But what
pisses me off about your secret

is that it is so damn unnecessary.

Drumbowski, Fintenielo, Schneidman.

I can name ten judges in Manhattan.

You can be a gay judge.
That's acceptable.

But what you can't be
in this world is a liar.

Are you done?

I think so. I guess so, yeah.

Burlson, he's another one.

I didn't bail Rafael out.

Who did?

Deondre Curtis.

Who?

Richard's client
with the club foot.

I found his address in the system,

signed his name when I posted.

They'll get the refund in the mail,

which his family can then
use to post his bail.

I will take your motion
under advisement.

It's the best I can do.

OK.

Good.
