So do I have the green lightto return?

When Margaret returns, your office will be waiting.

- Mr. Sanders... - I wanted to apologize.

Bennett droppingout of the race

caught me off-guard. I'll be in touch.

Robin, how'd your interview go?Pretty sure that I nailed it.

It's be great to have you back here for good.

Mark: Some good news, though.Robin's home.

And Rachel's back. You know she asked me to join her new firm.

We did discuss itin law school--

Audubon, Carmichael,Callan & Associates.

Lola: Hold on. We are in for a ride.

Your boyfriend's letting offa little steam.My boyfriend?

Sorry. Was thatsupposed to be a secret?

No, but it's none of your business.

When did you knowyou picked the wrong guy?When he hit me.

The wrong question, and he would just get soinsulted.

But I got out, and I justwanted to turn the page.

But it is a process--long one.

Good, good, good.Keep looking good.

Nice. Nice. Emily, good.

Robin, you've got this in the bag.

Except they haven't made an offer.

fantasizes about landing the director track,

and I've got it, and now I want out.

- But you do want out, right? - Of course I do.

Another agent here, she said that the L.A. field office,

they're understaffed, so she thinks that

it's a strong incentive for them to hire me.

- "She"? - She's engaged.

And attractive, from the sound of it.

Who said anything about attractive?

You did when you told me about "she's" relationship status

Souvenir from last night.

Come on, you got to admit last night was pretty mm-hmm!

Big day today. First hearing since partnering

with the fancy law offices of Rachel Audubon.

It's just a motion to suppress.

Ah, suppression motion. What's the charge?

Client's on felony probation,

and cop found a gun in his house.

Automatic violation.Loser case.

Which is why we took it. We get the gun quashed.

Case gets dismissed. Word gets around.

We secure the bigger clients.

Just gotta bring my "A" game today.

Lot of "we's"in that statement.

You and Rachelbecoming fast friends, huh?

Weshare the same philosophy-- go big or go home.

I like that. So I like her.

You have a problem with that?

Why would I have a problem with that?

Rachel and I are old friends, so... [ sighs ]

Motion to suppress sounds like a cakewalk right now.

Choi emails me less than an hour ago,

telling me one of my colleagues got the stomach flu,

so he dumps the guy's felony domestic violence case on me,

but the kicker-- the trial starts today.

- Where is my yogurt? - Oh, then it gets better.

The D.A. investigator emailed the subpoenas to the witnesses,

so I don't even know if anyone's gonna show up.

If the victim's a no-show...Mark, where--

which isn't abnormalin a D.V. case--Mark.

Felony domestic violence.

Young couple living together, attending law school.

I'm defending the boyfriend-- Aiden Matthews,

Isn't this the firstdomestic violence trial

Thanks for coming in early, Aiden.

Hey, no problem.I'm an early riser.

If first day of your trial on a felony D.V. charge

doesn't get you up before dawn, don't know what does.

Wasn't tryingto be insincere.

I know. Let's just have a seat.

I want to go over a couple things

that you should expect in court.

Almond latte, extra shot.

Sorry, did I get that wrong?

That's what you orderedlast time.

It is my order. Thank you.

But I can't accept gifts from clients.

Oh, I haven't takenProfessional Responsibility

If I had,I would have known that

and avoidedfeeling like a jerk.

D.A. has the burden of proving

beyond a reasonable doubt that you intentionally

pushed Molly into the glass coffee table.

Which I did not.

She was the onewho initiated contact.

She was the aggressor.I'm aware,

which is why we're arguing self-defense.

You really thinkthat theory would work?

Absolutely. As you stated, she scratched you

and proceeded to swing at you

with a fist.

Ms. Lopez?

Yeah. Um...

Molly swung at you with a fist.

You blocked it, and she fell into the table.

Accordingto her police statement,

Molly wasn't the aggressor,

but the defensewill argue she was.

Aiden has scratches on his neck.

They were minor,but playing devil's advocate,

even if Molly attacked Aiden first, which I doubt,

her injuries indicatedisproportionate force.

Unless she actually fell.That'd bea pretty vigorous fall

to cause a broken leg.But Molly didn't show up

at the preliminary hearing to testify.

That raises questions.Like what? She's lying?

Victims in D.V. casesdon't show up to prelims

all the time.Same with trials.

Speaking of, Molly hasn't gotten back to me.

If she doesn't show,it'll sink our case.

But we have the 911 call.

Mm-hmm.And that's another thing.

If Molly did fall, why did shecall the cops?

Why didn't the boyfriend?

Because Aiden was afraid.

Afraid for his future. He needed those minutes

between the 911 call and the cops arriving

to craft his lie.

That's for coming in,Ms. Park. I'm Mark Callan.

I heard the other lawyer got sick.

He did, but I've been broughtup to speed on the case.

I just wantedto talk to you in person.

To serve me with a subpoena?

Excuse me?

Your D.A. investigator emailed me a subpoena.

That's improper service.

I see you nailedCivil Procedure.

Not exactly, but I do my homework.

And since I just acknowledged that I did receive it..

Service is effective.That's good.

You feel ready to testify?

Mr. Callan, I came to assure the new prosecutor--

well, you--that I am.

I know I may not fit the bill of battered woman,

but please don't mistake my lack of tears

for lack of emotion.

I'll see you in court. Thank you.

Can't tell if her poise helps us or hurts us.

Hmm. I don't doubt her pain,

They want to feel what the victim feels.

What is Joshua Raymond's probationary status?

He's on formal felonyprobation for three years

for possession with intent to sell narcotics.

Officer Schneider,

what happened on the morning of January 5th?

At approximately 11:15 a.m,

I conducted a routine probation search

of defendant's residence.

He lives with his granny, Eloise Raymond.

I then recovered a 9-millimeter semi-automatic handgun

in his bedroom closet.

Did Mr. Raymond--

Objection. Leading the witness.

Overruled. Let's let Ms. Powell

finish her question first, counsel.

Officer Schneider, did Mr. Raymond violate

his probation when you found the gun--

Objection.Leading and legal conclusion.

Sustained.

Officer, can you please tell us

whether Mr. Raymond's probation prohibits

the possession of firearms?

Oh, it most definitely does.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Ms. Quinn, your witness.

Officer Schneider, did you have a warrant

when you searched Mr. Raymond's residence?

- No. - Why not?

Because when he agreed to felony probation,

he waived his search and seizure rights.

Meaning his probation officer or police officer

such as yourself could search his home at any time

without probable cause?

That's exactlywhat that means.

Officer, isn't it true that your mother

lives on the same street as Mr. Raymond?

Yeah. She does.

- Do you love your mother? - Yes.

Do anything to protect her?

I got to take this.

Don't you agree that Mr. Raymondis a no-good thug?

- Objection. Argumentative. - I'll rephrase.

Isn't it true that you referred to Mr. Raymond

as a no-good thug when you arrested him?

Yeah, I did. So?

So isn't it true that your probation search

was part of a pattern of harassment?

- Objection. - No, it's not true at all.

Um...

What are the grounds for your objection, Ms. Powell?

- Um... - [ scoffs ]

That's the one you want, sweetie.

Assumes factsnot in evidence.

Counsel, approach the bench.

[ elevator bell dings ]

Lopez.

Lopez!

Got wheels on those pumpsor what?

Callan, I don't have time to chat.

I have a-- - Trial, I know.

I got the handoff this morning.

You're going against me?

Yeah, I'm trying the case.

Listen, I know we're technically adversaries here,

but I just wanted to say I understand

if this case is--[ scoffs ]

Do you want to talk about an offer or...

My offer stays the same.Domestic battery.

243 misdemeanor for summaryprobation, no jail time.

Matthews is facing nine years in state prison, plus a strike.

It's overcharged.He was acting in self-defense,

and I have the scratcheson his neck to prove it.

Scratches which pale in comparison

to the victim's multiple lacerations

requiring stitches, not to mention the broken leg.

The severity of the injuries alone

could have five years.Matthews has no priors.

He fully compliedwith the protective order,

andhe ranks top of his class in law school.

So does Molly. The GBI alone is worth more than your offer.

It's reasonablegiven the totality

of the circumstances.

Circumstances which warrant the felony charge.

These D.V. guys walk all the time.

Reducing the charge risks condoning the behavior.

So your dad gettingcharged with murder

didn't inspireany compassion in you?

Ah, that's a shame.

Anyway, hope you're ready for trial.

How do you know Molly and Aiden?We're good friends.

Tell me about the party you attended on May 17th.

Our cohort had just finished law school finals,

and so Molly and Aiden threw a party at their place.

- Were you drinking? - No, I don't drink.

What did you see that night?

I saw Aiden corner Molly at the end of the hallway.

Aiden followed her. They were outside

Molly was crying, and I saw Aiden yank her arm.

Objection. May we approach?

[ sighs ]

Your Honor, this is clearly propensity evidence

that we did not discuss pre-trial.

The witness statements weredisclosed.

Besides, testimony goes toa prior act of domestic violence

under 11.09 of the evidence-- - Don't blow smoke, Callan.

It's a cheap shot,and you know it.

If the court allows this in,it will condone

the People's flagrant,deliberate,

and unconscionable disregardfor my client's right

to a fair trial.

I appreciate your zeal, Ms. Lopez,

but the evidence is both probative and material.

I'll allow it. Overruled. You may continue, Mr. Callan.

Mr. Alnatour, you were in the process

of describing what happened that night. Please continue.

Your Honor...

this is proof

of Officer Schneider's pattern of harassment.

California law bans probation searches

that are arbitrary, capricious, or harassing.

Objection. The defense did notgive the People proper notice.

Your Honor, we are still more than 30 days from trial,

so I was under no obligation

to turn this evidence over until now.

Unfortunately, Ms. Powell,

despite the normalprofessional practice

of disclosing material in advance,

Ms. Quinn is correct.Overruled.

This photograph was pulled

from Mr. Raymond's doorbell security system.

It appears that on Tuesday, October 15th,

an uniformed LAPD officer paid a visit

Marking Defense Exhibit "B." This is yet another photograph

Ms. Lopez, your witness.

Hmm.

Ahem.

Wouldn't you agree that youwere the aggressor that night?

Objection. Calls for legal conclusion and argumentative.

Sustained. Your next--So you lied to the police,right?

- Objective. Argumentative. - Overruled.

Witness may answer.

- Y-Yes, but-- - Are we to believe

that the lie you choseto come clean about

removes the possibility that youwere lying about something else?

- Objection. - Withdrawn.

Are you omitting another truth,like you fell into the table?

- Ms. Lopez. - Objection, Your Honor.

- What else are you lying about?- Counsel, that's enough!

Look, you can gaslight me all you want,

and maybe it'll work for that jury,

but you're not gonna break me.

He already did.

Counsel, you know better...

than to raise your voice at a witness.

[ voice fading ] If you need a moment

to regain your composure...

I think...permission to approach.

- [ grunts ] - Hey, hey, hey. Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Man: What's going on?

- Emily? - [ whispers ] I'm fine.

Are you okay?I'm fine.

Man: I don't know. Something happened.

Is she okay?

[ breathing heavily ]

I'm fine. I just need to eat something.

Right, and you didn'tjust have a panic attack?

I can't believe you don't see what you're doing.

What am I doing? Defending my client?

Em, you're hurting yourself.I'm fine, Sara.

Just stop.

I love you, Em.

No case is worthyour health.

Sara, I love you, too.

I really do.

Now please take your hands off me.

[ door opens and closes ]

I will not tolerate any more grandstanding.

If I want theater, I will pay a visit to the Pantages.

[ cellphone buzzes ]Need to take that,Your Honor?

No.[ buzzing continues ]

Apologies.

Respectfully,I was acting on behalf

of my client'sbest interest.

I know Raymond ison felony probation.

For which he agreed to waive his 4th Amendment right

against unreasonable searches and seizures.

But he still has the rightto be free from a search

that's the productof harassment.

Raymond is genuinely tryingto stay out of trouble

and comply with hisprobation requirements.

Except that he failed to comply with them.

Okay, I have heard enough.

We can save it for court later today.

I look forwardto your ruling, Your Honor.

Yes, I, too, look forwardto your ruling, Your Honor.

Do you...need me here during lunch?

I can stay, but I kind of maybe

want to have lunch with Detective Harris outside--

Go. Embrace the--

Unexpected. Yeah.

What about Molly?

I made it very clear what going to trial would dredge up.

Molly and I haveso much history together.

For it to go down like this, I just--I--

Do you want to be a great trial lawyer one day?

Then you need to be prepared to get dirty.

Molly's not the only onewho lied.

What?

I pushed her, okay?

I pushed her.

All this time, you--you were lying?

Ms. Lopez, please,just let me explain.

I've defended you.

I have had your back, and you lied to me?

- I just-- - Who do you think you are?

You think you're someone special

because you can remember coffee orders

and you have this charming Atticus Finch bit

tucked in your back pocket?

You want to know the truth, Aiden? You are not special.

You take away the lies, and all that is left

is a miserable, spineless piece of--

Do you feel guilty enough to plead guilty?

That's what I thought.

See you in court.

♪♪♪

Aren't you gonna talk?

I'm still recovering from shock.

Hilarious.[ chuckles ]

Hello again.

Hi.

It's my day off.

But don't worry. I won't try to convince you.

Mmm.

What? You can orderanother one.

I mean, Emily'sworse for the wear,

but I did notsee that coming.

You can only bury pain like that for so long

before it just...

Breaks you? I'm torn.I wanna talk to her for real,

but...I don't know.

You two are adversaries.

That's unfortunately where you have to draw the line,

as crappy as that sounds.

You know, Emily said earlierthat she wasn't a victim?

She's right. The label is different

for everyone coming out of an abusive relationship.

On another note,

Amy Quinn has been one hell of a force to reckon with.

- I've heard all about it. - She is an excellent lawyer.

I'll give her that, but it's like she is intentionally

getting on my damn nerves.

That's your girlfriend.

Hey! She's yours, too.

Rachel, I mean.

You and Rachel are friends, too.

I didn't say we weren't.

You've been saying her name weird.

How? Like "Rachel," with a little pause.

There is no pause.

It's weird, right?[ laughs ]

Amy and Rachel workingtogether. It's ew.

I love seeing you like this.

It just means that things are going really well

with you and Amy.

Actually, we hadour first argument.Hmm.

She saysI'm invading her space,

treating it like it's mine,

and then she saidsomething bizarre.

She said I'm treating her like...you.

I knew it.

Knew what?

[ inhales deeply ]

Tell me.

Our friendship is

the healthiest relationship you have, Mark.

It only makes sense that you would use it as a template

for how you act with the first woman that you really like.

Huh.

That's enough Yoda for today.

I have a motion to suppress to rule on.

[ as Yoda ] Like her you do.

[ laughs ]

[ sighs heavily ]

This hearinghas been theatrical--

unnecessarily so, I must say.

[ hiccups loudly ]

- Despite being on probation-- - [ Sherri hiccups ]

...for drug possession with the intent to sell,

a low level felony,

Mr. Raymond retained the right to be free from a search

that is arbitrary, capricious, or harassing.

Based on the evidence presented in this court,

I believe the probation search was the product of harassment.

Motion granted. How do the People wish to proceed?

The People are unable to proceed, Your Honor.

The defense moves to dismiss.

Case dismissed.Mr. Raymond, you're free to go.

[ gavel bangs and clatters ]

Ms. Powell, a word.

You did good.

You should be very proudof yourself.

Thank you, Your Honor.

It was just one martini. Okay, it was two,

Gin makes me loopy.

Impressed?If Benner finds out...

She will never.

Robin,

before you say anything, I know I said

moving back had to be your idea,

but I miss waking up next to you.

I miss coming home to you.

Baby, I need you to come home.

I need you.

I miss you, too, baby,

Lo, I didn't get the L.A. job.

Your Honor, the jury is deadlocked.

Then I have no choice but to declare a mistrial.

Members of the jury, we thank you for your time.

I give you my word, we aregoing to retry your case.

I admire your persistence, Mr. Callan, really,

but I don't expect this case to go anywhere.

I promise.

It makes no sense. How can you still love someone

you feel so much anger and resentment towards?

You got me there.

What's the next move?

D.A.'s probably gonna retry the case,

meaning you're looking at-- - Another trial. Great.

Or you plead guilty to the felony.

Since it's your first offense, you may get probation.

What do you thinkwe should do?

I think...

I think...that...

I am going to head back up to my office,

march right up to my boss, and tell her

I'm removing myself from your case.

What?

- Emily. - Yeah.

Hey.

How about we all grab a beer? I'm buying.

I'm game. Em?

You go ahead.

I just... wanna be alone right now.

I'll see you guys.

It's not you.

Catch up with you later, all right?

Two days since we talked.

And?

And peace offering.

[ exhales deeply ]

Don't show up to my place without a call or a text.

Don't alter my décor,

and you were right about the mugs.

Roger that,and for the record,

I know you're not Lola.

You are the woman I'm crazy about.
