Dr. Goodwin, what is your occupation?

I'm a criminologist employed by the Los Angeles

Police Department's Technical Investigation Division.

What do you know about the drug called ketamine?

Ketamine is an anesthetic drug.

It can have an effect similar to alcohol,

but in larger doses, it can cause a loss of memory,

loss of body control, even a loss of consciousness.

Did any of the samples you tested for this matter

show the presence of ketamine?

Yes. The sample of blood taken from Miss Porter,

item one, and the sample of the beverage

taken at the scene, item three.

Was the amount present in Ms. Porter's blood

of any significance?

Well, it was higher than is typically

seen in a recreational user.

How can ketamine be used non-recreationally?

It can be administered to an individual,

to assist in what's commonly referred to as date rape--

Objection, lack of foundation

and outside the witness's expertise.

- Overruled. - TEDDY: No further questions.

Mr. Watkins, your witness.

You said that ketamine can be used recreationally.

That means that people take it on purpose, right?

Well, it can sometimes be considered a party drug.

You mentioned that you detected ketamine

in the complaining witness' blood sample.

Can you determine how it got there?

No, I cannot.

You also mentioned that you detected ketamine

in the drink at the scene.

Can you determine how it got there?

DR. GOODWIN: I can't do that either.

And finally, in the materials collected

from Mr. Hastings, there were no traces

of ketamine detected at all, correct?

That's also correct.

No further questions.

- No. - SARA: What do you mean?

I don't want to go to another trial.

I don't wanna go back on the stand,

have all this information be made public.

TEDDY: We can put this guy away for years.

I just want this all to be over.

I'm not doing it.

Any of it.

[sighing]

[street din]

[crying]

Can't shake the feeling that I signed up for this.

You signed up to sell a fantasy.

What he stole from you was not for sale.

But I just feel so powerless.

I know there's power in pushing forward with the case.

What if it destroys me?

Well, it's not justice if we lose you in the process.

Protecting yourself is what's most important.

I just don't want to disappoint anyone.

[approaching footsteps]

Looks like you haven't.

Won't Vince fire you guys for being here?

Fuck Vince. We are standing with you,

and whatever you decide to do.

We threw you into the deep end with this case, Teddy,

- but you did a great job. - It doesn't feel like it.

Offering a deal seems wrong

when we can peg Franklin for much worse.

When we have a chance to honor

a victim's wishes, we do it.

This is how she wanted to move on.

Good morning, Your Honor.

The preliminary hearing

in the Brandon Page case was sent here.

What time would you like to call the case?

Counselor, I'm impressed by how quickly you were able

to push this case through.

I have trial here until at least this afternoon.

And I will wait. Thank you.

Can you tell me where defense witnesses sit?

Figure it out.

I'll take it to my client.

The People have footage of you sexually assaulting Eden.

- Three times. - They're lying.

It's you, plain as day.

They're offering a deal.

Prison time with no sex registration.

No deal. We can win them over. Bring on the jury.

If you don't take this deal, the prosecution will

charge you with multiple sex crimes,

and you will almost certainly lose at trial

and get more time than the offer.

My advice is to take the deal

because it's less time than you...

[softly] than you deserve.

Okay.

Yeah. I'll take the deal.

I feel like, overall, we did the best we could.

You have to feel good about that, seriously.

- Oh, my God, Sara. - What?

Can we ask you something?

Okay.

Hey.

It's done?

It's done.

I thought it would feel better than this.

Yeah, it's only day one. Give it time.

Thank you for everything.

Why'd you want us to meet you outside anyway?

Figured you'd earned a show.

Vince Orla, you're under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent.

[laughing]

VINCE: I know the drill.

[laughing]

- WOMAN: Ha ha! Fucker! - WOMAN 2: Busted!

- You did this? - I handed LAPD the footage

of Vince taking payment from Franklin,

and the threatening text he sent the dancers.

He's being charged with conspiracy

to commit sexual battery.

Hey, I got a lawyer at an organization

called Strippers United who wants to connect with you.

Wants to help you file

Come on. First, I'm taking us all out to celebrate.

I mean, you guys almost cleaned me out last night.

Yeah.

On the record in People v. Page Case LS210C32.

He is present and represented.

The people are represented.

Council, state your--

Assistant United States Attorney Zoya Hamid

on behalf of the United States.

Your Honor, I'm filing with the court a mission

to intervene, a mission to transfer,

and a five count grand jury indictment just unsealed

from federal district court.

We are asking that this defendant

be removed to federal court, pending trial.

- On what grounds? - The DA's office is ill-equipped

to handle this case.

Transferring Brandon Page

into federal custody will ensure a swifter conviction,

which will lead to a much longer sentence.

- What's the People's position? - This is a community issue.

If there is one thing the Los Angeles District

Attorney's Office can handle, it's gang activity.

Let us take the shot.

♪

I will rule on this matter after a brief recess.

How did you get here so fast?

Got an alert about leftover donuts in the judge's lounge.

Been stuffing my face all morning.

Well praise God for pastries,

because I need the Benner strain of brutal honesty.

My best advice? Let the feds do their thing.

They can pack a bigger punch

with a hefty sentence and no parole.

But the DA's office got there first.

If we're going by the book, state courts should get

the first chance at a conviction on a public offense.

The feds can wait their turn.

But you're forgetting about optics.

Ruling in favor of your best friend could appear improper

and even worse, if he doesn't win.

Do you trust Mark to get a conviction?

You'll make the right decision.

You always do.

Well, most of the time.

The United States motion to intervene

and motion to transfer is denied.

Brandon Page will remain in county custody.
