00:00There were seven hundred and fifty
00:29murder cases filed in Los Angeles last year.
00:36Seven hundred and fifty times the prosecutors filed charges on their penal code section
00:40187, the biggest, most important charge they can file.
00:47But no matter how different the facts were in each of those cases, at the end of the
00:54day, every one of them was the same, because at the end of the day, every murder case is
01:05like a tree, a tall, shady tree, and it's the prosecutor's job to feed and water that tree.
01:16They will use every tool they have to guard and protect that tree.
01:23Direct evidence, circumstantial evidence, forensic science, motive, means, and opportunity.
01:31The state will spare no expense to give that tree everything it needs to grow big and strong.
01:42Because the bigger and stronger that tree grows, the easier it will be to get a conviction.
01:51And that's what it's all about.
01:54That's the number one rule of any murder case.
01:59No matter what, somebody has to pay.
02:04So, if you're accused of murder, what you need is an axe.
02:09Chop that tree down and burn it to ashes.
02:12And you're the man with the axe?
02:15Huh?
02:16Oh, no.
02:17No, Edgar.
02:18I don't have an axe for you.
02:19From what I can see, you're pretty much screwed.
02:21Man, what the hell do you know, Holler?
02:23Hmm?
02:24If you're so smart, how come you're in here with me?
02:28Well, it's a mistake.
02:32One that I intend to rectify quickly.
02:34Yeah.
02:35You and every other pendejo in this place.
02:37Edgar, you've got the license plate of the car.
02:40And they've got you on camera at Union Station dumping the car in the parking lot.
02:44No, no, no.
02:45See, I was just a pinch of driver.
02:46Okay?
02:47I didn't shoot nobody.
02:48It doesn't matter, Edgar.
02:49You're the one they caught.
02:50You got what?
02:51Two priors.
02:52Three strikes and you know what happens.
02:54Man, fuck you.
03:04The way I see it, Edgar, you've got one shot.
03:07Now, you know why they've got you here in high power instead of the gang section, right?
03:11Any day now, they're gonna put you in a room and ask you the big question.
03:15If you weren't the shooter, then who was?
03:19There's nothing in there that can help you, Edgar.
03:22The only way you can help yourself now is...
03:26is to give up some names.
03:28Bullshit!
03:29Are you kidding me?
03:30You think I'm gonna do that shit?
03:32Just calm down.
03:33You ask me to look at your file.
03:34All right?
03:35If you don't like my advice, then go talk to your own lawyer about it.
03:38I can't talk to him about shit.
03:40Ah, shit.
03:42Don't you get that?
03:47Edgar, if you're saying that your lawyer works for the gang, I can recommend a public defender.
03:52I don't understand this, my mother.
03:57Child time, asshole!
03:59Deuce it up!
04:01Let's go!
04:10Let's go!
04:11Let's go!
04:12Let's go!
04:13Let's go!
04:14Let's go!
04:15Let's go!
04:16Let's go!
04:17Let's go!
04:18Let's go!
04:19Let's go!
04:20I'll die!
04:21Let's go!
04:22We're going down west where I belong.
04:26Where the days are short and the nights are long.
04:29We're going down west where I belong
04:40When the days are short and the nights are long
04:46You okay?
04:51You should tell your dad about your microplastics report.
04:56I want to cheer him up, not bore him to death.
05:00This is a man who likes to discuss hearsay exceptions for fun.
05:04Your teacher said you have a future in environmental law.
05:06Trust me, this will cheer him up.
05:09How much longer is he going to be in there anyway?
05:11It's been six weeks.
05:12I thought you said he was getting a speedy trial.
05:14No, I said that he didn't waive his right to a speedy trial.
05:18All that means is they can't delay it.
05:21It took two weeks to bring charges.
05:24After that, they have 60 court days before they have to bring him to trial.
05:27There's nothing speedy about this process, honey.
05:35Hayley, if I know one thing about your dad, it's that he wouldn't want you to worry about him.
05:40He knows a system like the back of his hand.
05:42He's got this.
05:52Well, I'm going out west down on the coast.
05:57Well, the California girls are really the most.
06:00Penal code 487.
06:04That is the section that covers grand theft.
06:07Now, you're usually only looking at a year in jail.
06:10Unless you have multiple priors, which, oh, unfortunately you do.
06:14Oh, uh, I've given all that up.
06:17Uh-huh.
06:19No.
06:20No.
06:21No, this was a gift.
06:23I've gone straight, Lorna, honest.
06:25Well, there's still the matter of the seven outstanding charges, all of which we are fully prepared to fight.
06:33Except that Mickey's, you know, in jail, which is where I'd like to avoid going.
06:38Well, that and the trunk of his car.
06:40Yeah, yeah, that is an unfortunate speed bump.
06:45But I can assure you, you are in very good hands.
06:48I am the firm's most senior associate.
06:50You mean you're the firm's only associate.
06:52Either way, I'll be taking over all of Mickey's clients.
06:54So while he deals with his little murder thingy, why don't you just sign right here?
07:00Look, I think I have to consider my options.
07:03I appreciate your hustle and all, but I just can't afford to get mixed up with, you know, criminals.
07:09You understand, right?
07:14You give Mickey my love.
07:15Well, the air is crisp and off his coat
07:19From California, cool, wherever we go
07:24Oh, oh, oh, and I walk, and they walk
07:28And I twist, and they twist
07:31And I shimmy, and they shimmy
07:34And I fly, and they fly
07:36While we're out there having fun
07:39In the world California sun
07:41While we're out there having fun
07:44In the world California sun
07:46Raul Estrada
07:51The pants was asking
08:07Dennis Wachowski
08:08I'm an investigator for your former lawyer, Mickey Halver
08:12Haller
08:15Haller
08:16I haven't heard that name in a while
08:18Nine years to be exact
08:19That's how long ago you were set up on a manslaughter charge
08:22And you blamed Mickey for not getting you a better deal
08:25At least that's what you wrote in all those angry letters you sent him for Pelican pay
08:29You have a lot of free time on your hands when you're inside
08:31You have a lot of free time on your hands when you're inside
08:32Got to do something to keep yourself occupied
08:34Come to think of it
08:35Come to think of it
08:36I do remember hearing Oliver's name recently
08:39Wasn't he arrested for murder or something?
08:41Yeah
08:42Or something
08:43So I'm just visiting his former clients who might have had a beef with him
08:48His place was listed as your work address
08:51So let me get this straight
08:54You think I killed some total stranger
08:57You try to set up holler for it?
08:59Well, I'm just trying to rule out possibilities, Rahul
09:02Tell me where you were the night of Thursday, September 16th
09:06And maybe I can rule out this one
09:08Well, it was Thursday when I'm Charles conducting a class
09:21At the liquor store
09:23The liquor store belongs to my cousin
09:26He's kind enough to let me use the empty space next door
09:29We have Bible study every Thursday night
09:32Like I said, when you're inside
09:35You gotta find some way to keep yourself occupied
09:37Tell me where we'll be praying from
09:44Oh, hey
09:49God bless
10:07Another development in the case of well-known L.A. defense attorney Michael Haller
10:11Who's currently awaiting trial for his suspected involvement in the murder of a former client
10:16It's been a month since the grand jury returned charges
10:18And the D.A.'s decision to seek a secret indictment instead of filing a complaint
10:23Has effectively tied the defense's hands as they attempt to prepare for trial
10:27But there were signs of movement today as a judge was finally assigned to the case
10:32Judge Lionel Stone, a former prosecutor who's known for his tough sentencing
10:36All aren't associates
10:38Court will be in session today for the first of what's expected
10:41Sorry, we have no comment on the charges at this time. Thank you
10:43Stay tuned for updates. I'm Casey Montoya, KTLA 5 News
10:48You find any security footage?
10:50Not yet
10:51It's pretty desolate where Mickey got pulled over
10:54There's no cameras or anything around there
10:57Ooh, is that cold brew?
10:59I got my paralegal class in a couple hours
11:01Yeah, there's more in the fridge
11:02Blue bottle? Stumptown?
11:03More like Costco's finest
11:05Until Julian's settlement comes in, we have to save every penny for Mickey's defense
11:09I thought Julian's settlement was done
11:11The negotiation is done
11:13It still could take up to a year to drop the paperwork and cut the check
11:16Ugh, lawyers
11:20Hey, any luck?
11:23Depends on your definition of luck
11:26What the...
11:30So far, every disgruntled client currently not in prison
11:34Has an alibi for the night of the murder
11:38And all of our current clients keep dumping us
11:40It's a catch-22
11:42Nobody wants us when Mickey's on trial for murder
11:45But without the income, how are we gonna get him out?
11:47What about the Sam Scales angle?
11:49It would take decades to run down everyone who hated Sam
11:52I'm looking for overlaps
11:54Somebody who wanted Sam dead and had a reason to pin it on Mickey
11:58Are you sure you didn't get anything from the DA that would help narrow it down?
12:02Are you kidding?
12:03It would take an order from the governor's office to get them to hand over Discovery
12:06Yeah, I think I'm gonna need one of those cold brews after all
12:25Bamba
12:27What's up, Counsel?
12:29I sure got Quesada all worked up in the day room back there
12:33Yeah, where the hell were you?
12:34I thought you were supposed to be protecting me in here
12:37Don't worry, I got you
12:39I was watching the whole time
12:41From where? From up here?
12:42Hey, look now, you're not paying me enough to follow you around everywhere
12:45If there was a problem, I'd handle it
12:47That's what I get for trying to help
12:49Next time somebody asks if there's a lawyer in the house, I'm just gonna keep my mouth shut
12:53You might be smarter
12:56You always tie your files up like you wire in a car
12:58This way I know if somebody's been snooping where they shouldn't be
13:02Do you think I trust the deputies in here?
13:04I trust Edward Casal more
13:06I got my hearing today, gotta make sure I've got everything
13:09Well, hey, look, if you wanna practice your speech on me again
13:12That's gonna cost you extra
13:14No need, Bamba
13:15Thank you
13:17Hey, well, look
13:18Remember what I told you
13:19When you get on that bus, make sure you sit towards the front, alright?
13:23That way as shit goes down, the guards are right on top of it
13:26Okay, but what if they put me in the back?
13:31Right
13:34Hey, good luck
13:36Don't forget to get a man the finger for me
13:48Don't forget to put me in the segucus
13:50That way
13:51God rip me away
13:52Yes
13:53What do you mean?
13:54Yes
13:56Oh, man
13:57No
13:58Oh, man
13:59Do you need to help help?
14:01Do you think I'm
14:15Do you
14:15I'm a judge, you suck!
14:327-2-1-1-9-5-6
14:397-2-1-1-9-5-6
14:42I'm here.
14:45Let's go.
14:50Let's go.
14:52Hey.
14:53There he is.
14:54I was starting to think you weren't gonna make it before the hearing was called.
15:09The sheriff's apartment runs on their own schedule.
15:11We brought the motions and your suit.
15:14I was thinking red tie because it kind of projects power, confidence.
15:18No, red's too confrontational.
15:20Let's, uh, let's go with blue, right?
15:24Blue just projects calm.
15:26We even need the suit?
15:27We don't even have a jury.
15:28No, but we'll pick one soon and I don't want them seeing press photos of me in jail scrubs.
15:33You also don't want them to see you looking like a hobo riding the rails.
15:37No offense, honey, it completely works on you.
15:39Yeah, good point.
15:40And before anything else, I want you to eat these carnitas tacos we brought you.
15:44Oh.
15:45The last thing you want is to spill salsa on a good clean shirt.
15:49Mmm.
15:50You have no idea how bad the food is inside.
15:53I'm starting to get a pretty good picture, actually.
15:56Oh.
15:57So, how's everybody feeling?
15:59Good?
16:00Well, uh, under the circumstances we are.
16:04Listen, it's like legal always says.
16:06Act like a winner and you will be a winner.
16:09We're gonna win this thing.
16:10No doubt in my mind.
16:11Now, let's talk about the motion to suppress.
16:13You found some precedent and probable cost?
16:15Sure.
16:16Plenty.
16:17But getting a judge to throw out the discovery of a body in a murder case is a pretty tall order,
16:21which reminds me.
16:22All right, the, uh, judge you were assigned, Stone.
16:26In addition to being a former prosecutor, apparently he's got a reputation for being prickly.
16:31Which means we all need to be on our best behavior.
16:34Let's not give him any excuses.
16:36I don't know him, but sometimes former prosecutors are good.
16:39They don't wanna look biased, so they try to rule in favor of the defense as much as possible.
16:44Plus, this deputy D.A. we got Richard.
16:47He's green.
16:48He won't know how to fight back.
16:50Oh.
16:51I'm taking Officer Collins.
16:52I don't buy his story for a second.
16:54Mickey, you questioning the officer that pulled you over might come across as a little vindictive.
16:58I should do it.
16:59You can take the discovery motion.
17:01It should be really straightforward.
17:02They haven't given us anything yet.
17:03Oh, and as for the bail argument...
17:06That's not a priority today.
17:08What?
17:09I don't know how much time we're gonna get.
17:11We need to focus on the important things.
17:12If there's time, we can argue bail.
17:14If not, we'll just save it for another day.
17:17Uh, Mick, don't you want out of jail?
17:21Of course I do, but not at any price.
17:23They said bail at five million.
17:25That's 500 grand to a bail bondsman we don't have, and we're never gonna get back.
17:30Which is why we're arguing to reduce it.
17:32Even if we get it down, that's Haley's college fund we're talking about.
17:35Not to mention law school.
17:37Mickey and Noble defer our salaries.
17:40No, I'm not asking anyone to do that.
17:42Look, we're almost halfway into my speedy trial timeline.
17:45I've got two more months until I have to put up or shut up.
17:48I can do two more months if I have to.
17:51Okay, Mickey, I'm gonna ask you this one last time.
17:54Do you want me to call Andrea Freeman? Maybe she can help.
17:57Oh, I'm not dragging Andy into this.
18:00He's got enough problems in the DA's office.
18:03We got this, alright? Trust me.
18:06Come on, let's go win this thing.
18:16The homework and reading is posted online.
18:19Shepardize the cases and tell me if there's still good law or not.
18:23Have a good rest of the day, everybody.
18:25I think so.
18:31You okay?
18:32What?
18:34Oh.
18:35Yeah, I was just hoping for an update from work.
18:37That's very conscientious of you.
18:39The majority of us are actively trying to avoid updates from work.
18:42You're Izzy, right?
18:44That's me, Izzy, with the masterful command of the California Penal Code.
18:48I don't know about that. I just hear about it all day long at the office.
18:51And you are, don't tell me, it starts with a G?
18:55Grace.
18:56Right. Grace.
18:58Sorry, I'm still learning everyone's names.
19:00Obviously do not have a masterful command of the contact list.
19:03Well, if you want to clear your head a little bit, a few of us are going to head to Tabletop in Echo Park after work.
19:09Is that the place with all the old arcade games?
19:11Yes.
19:12And the killer hot wings.
19:14Damn.
19:15Hot wings and Pac-Man.
19:16It's a tough combination to beat.
19:18That's what I'm saying.
19:19You should come.
19:20It'll be fun.
19:21Uh, I don't know. I, I'd like to. It's just that there's kind of a lot going on at my office right now.
19:28Yeah, so, okay, I have a confession to make. Um, my boss kind of knows your boss a little.
19:36Yeah, it's the whole defense attorney circle stuff. But he says really nice things about him.
19:41I'm sorry that you guys are having to deal with all this.
19:43Thanks.
19:45Actually, this class has been good for me to get my mind off it a little bit.
19:48I mean, that's exactly why you should come out tonight.
19:50My phone number is in that contact list that you didn't bother to read.
19:54Or you can just show up. You can just come by.
19:57I think we're gonna get there at, like, six.
20:00Uh, yeah, okay, I'll try.
20:03Yeah?
20:04Can I take that as a definite maybe?
20:07You can take that as a definite maybe.
20:09All right, great.
20:11Okay, well, I will maybe see you later then, Izzy.
20:20All rise.
20:21Case number B-A-5-9-9-7-2.
20:34People versus Michael Haller.
20:36The Honorable Lionel Stone presiding.
20:38You notice what's done here?
20:41Officer Collins.
20:42They're still playing games.
20:44Counsel may be seated.
20:46Before we begin, are there any issues that...
20:48Hello, what? I'm in court.
20:51I'm so sorry, Mr. Richards.
20:53Is this court keeping you?
20:54No, Your Honor.
20:56Uh, it's just, uh...
21:00I'm sorry.
21:01Hey, I'm in...
21:03What?
21:04Are you keeping...
21:05No, wait, wait a minute, wait.
21:06I've been preparing this for...
21:09Your Honor, uh, if I could just request two minutes, please.
21:12My sincere apologies to the court.
21:16Outside, please.
21:19I can't believe this.
21:20Just when you think you've seen it all.
21:22I dropped three other cases for this.
21:23One of them was a gang murder.
21:25This is completely...
21:28Dana Berg for the people, Your Honor.
21:31My apologies on behalf of our office,
21:34but there has been a personnel change,
21:36and I will be taking over this case moving forward.
21:39Who the hell is that?
21:41Deathro-Dana.
21:42They call her Deathro-Dana.
21:44Yep.
21:45So noted, Ms. Berg.
21:46As is the highly irregular manner of your appearance.
21:49Now, can we please get on with this?
21:51I do have other hearings today.
21:55Absolutely, Your Honor.
21:56Lorna Crane for the defense,
21:58along with Pro Se Counsel Michael Holler.
22:00We're here on a number of motions.
22:02Firstly, a motion to suppress any evidence obtained
22:04during the illegal traffic stop of my client.
22:07The defense contends that Mr. Holler was set up
22:09and framed for this murder,
22:10and it began with a warrantless search of his car.
22:13Set up?
22:14By whom?
22:15I'm sorry?
22:16You just said Mr. Holler was set up and framed.
22:19By whom, Ms. Crane?
22:21Um, Your Honor, I believe that that's irrelevant
22:25for the purpose of this hearing.
22:26Irrelevant?
22:27Is that so?
22:28Uh, no, I'm sorry.
22:29Your Honor, if I may.
22:30And thank you again to the court for allowing me
22:33to appear pro se alongside my co-counsel, Ms. Crane.
22:36Go ahead, Mr. Holler.
22:38Now, in terms of relevance, we agree that once we go to trial,
22:43the identity of the party who framed it will be very relevant.
22:47But at this time, respectfully,
22:49we feel it would be manifestly unjust
22:51to have to reveal every detail of our case to the prosecution.
22:54We're merely challenging the validity of a traffic stop.
22:57Nothing more.
22:59Fine.
23:00Let's just move on, then.
23:02Thank you, Your Honor.
23:03Now, as Ms. Crane said,
23:05we filed a motion challenging the traffic stop
23:07and the search of my trunk by Officer Collins.
23:10A hearing is required on this motion,
23:12and yet Officer Collins is nowhere to be seen.
23:14My investigator has been trying to contact him for six weeks,
23:17also with no success.
23:19It seems that by hiding Officer Collins until it's too late,
23:22the prosecution is doing everything they can
23:24to prevent a fair trial.
23:26Your Honor, as the court and the defendant both know,
23:29I'm new to this case,
23:30but I fail to see how anyone from our side
23:33has been hiding anything,
23:34let alone trying to prevent a fair trial.
23:36On the contrary, we look forward to one.
23:39Uh, Your Honor, may I be hurt again?
23:41Will you two make up your minds already?
23:43Go ahead, Ms. Crane.
23:45The prosecution clearly doesn't want us to talk
23:47to Officer Collins before trial, Your Honor.
23:49This goes back to the decision to seek a grand jury indictment
23:52where he could testify in secret
23:54instead of holding a preliminary hearing
23:56where we'd be able to question him.
23:57Which is a perfectly valid option
23:59for the prosecution to choose.
24:01And one that prevented Mr. Holler
24:02from confronting his accuser,
24:04not to mention the missing video footage.
24:06There's video footage?
24:07Yes, Your Honor.
24:08Officer Collins was wearing a body camera that night,
24:11and there's also a dashboard camera in his cruiser.
24:13We've been given none of that footage yet.
24:15I'm confused, Your Honor.
24:17Is this a motion to suppress evidence
24:20or a request for evidence?
24:22It's both.
24:23Both.
24:24Which is why we filed motions on both.
24:27The prosecution has the burden of justifying the search judge.
24:30So far, they haven't justified anything.
24:32All they've done is violate the rules of discovery.
24:34Ms. Berg, where are we with this video footage?
24:37Your Honor, my apologies.
24:39I'm told there were technical difficulties
24:41with the transferring of the file.
24:42Technical difficulties?
24:43My freedom is on the line here,
24:45and the best they can do is technical difficulties?
24:47If the defendant would stop interrupting,
24:50Your Honor, I can explain.
24:52Hold your powder, Mr. Holler.
24:53Go ahead, Ms. Berg.
24:56As I was saying, I'm new to the case,
24:58so any tardiness with the discovery is news to me.
25:01That said, I can have Officer Collins here
25:04at the court's convenience.
25:06And as far as the video footage,
25:08yes, our office had some technical difficulties.
25:11Emphasis on had.
25:13We have rectified the situation
25:15and are delivering the footage to the defendant immediately,
25:18along with the rest of the discovery they requested.
25:21I assume that arrangement would be satisfactory, Mr. Holler?
25:24It's fine, Your Honor, but a point of order, please.
25:28What is it now?
25:30Your Honor, Ms. Berg has now referred to me
25:34three times as the defendant.
25:36Now, it is true.
25:38I am the accused in this case,
25:40but when I am arguing before the court,
25:43I am counsel for the defense.
25:45I would ask the court to direct Ms. Berg to refer to me as such.
25:50Come on, Mr. Holler.
25:51That's just semantics.
25:52You are the defendant.
25:53You are also the defense counsel.
25:54Same difference in this case.
25:56Members of the jury might see the difference, Your Honor.
25:59No response necessary, Ms. Berg.
26:01The request is denied.
26:03I advise you not to press your luck, Mr. Holler.
26:06Now, I'm going to continue this hearing until tomorrow morning,
26:12at which time I will expect to see Officer Collins
26:14in this courtroom ready to go.
26:16Any matters we didn't get to today can be taken up then.
26:19But first, I want to have a word with both sides about discovery.
26:23Let me be clear.
26:25In this courtroom, discovery is a two-way street.
26:28What comes in must go out.
26:30No review, no arguments.
26:32What the people get, the defense gets,
26:34and vice versa, without delay.
26:36The penalty for violation is the disallowance of the evidence.
26:39Ms. Berg, in your case, that means
26:41if Officer Collins fails to appear tomorrow,
26:43I will be granting the motion to suppress.
26:44Is that clear?
26:45Yes, Your Honor.
26:47Good.
26:48In that case, I will see counsel and the defendant
26:5110 a.m. tomorrow.
26:53Court is adjourned.
26:58Well, at least we got discovery.
27:07As soon as I have it, I'll bring it to county.
27:09As fast as you can.
27:10Maggie and Hayley are coming to see me during visiting hours.
27:13I can't miss that.
27:14I am going to get going.
27:16Where?
27:17I have to meet with another client.
27:19I'm busy.
27:20So I will see you tomorrow,
27:22and we can talk discovery when we get back to the office.
27:28How should I take that 돌�?
27:29How should I take that 돌�?
27:30I I can't take it...
27:48Maggie.
27:49Hey.
27:51Wow, this place is beautiful.
27:53Wow, this place is beautiful.
27:56Yeah, well, when you work down here for as long as I did,
27:59you find a few secret spots.
28:00I got you a latte.
28:01Oh, my God, thank you.
28:04Mmm.
28:05I have never needed coffee as much as I need it right now.
28:08They should just hook me up to an IV drip
28:10and cut out the middleman.
28:11You've been dealing with a lot.
28:14I know I usually text you for Mickey updates,
28:16but Haley wanted to see a friend from USC,
28:18so I had some time.
28:20Thanks for taking a minute.
28:21Of course.
28:23Believe it or not, talking to you
28:24has been the one thing that's kept me sane.
28:26Well, I don't mean, like, believe it or not.
28:29I just mean...
28:29No, Lorna, it's fine.
28:30Honestly, me too.
28:34Mickey said that you're gonna bring Haley to see him.
28:36That's great.
28:37That'll really mean a lot to him.
28:39That's why I wanted to see you, actually.
28:40I need to know what I'm gonna be dealing with.
28:44How's he doing today?
28:45Today, he is psychotically optimistic,
28:48and I kind of want to choke him.
28:49Oh, I know that guy.
28:50I also know the other guy who thinks everything is doomed,
28:54so right now, this is the guy we want.
28:59He's in jail, Maggie.
29:02It's affecting the firm,
29:04and it's affecting our reputation.
29:06I am burning the candle at every end,
29:10trying to keep the lights on.
29:12But honestly,
29:13the case doesn't seem like it's going that well.
29:17They just assigned this new prosecutor, Dana Berg.
29:20Iceberg?
29:21Seriously, she has two nicknames?
29:23Oh, she has a lot more than that.
29:27I'm not gonna lie, she is really tough.
29:30And if they put her on the case,
29:32it means they're serious about it.
29:35But Mickey, he's beaten her before.
29:37Great, so add payback to her list of motivations.
29:40Have you had an issue with discovery?
29:45Oh, my God.
29:46It's like pulling teeth from an angry walrus.
29:49But the judge did read her the riot act today,
29:51so maybe it's gonna be okay?
29:54Well, if she gives you any more trouble,
29:55just tell her she's not gonna want
29:56another Rodriguez situation.
29:58She'll know what it means.
30:02Okay.
30:06Why do I feel like this is the type of thing
30:08you wouldn't have told Mickey?
30:10Mickey's never been on trial before.
30:13That's a good point.
30:17Lorna, he's beaten her before.
30:20He can do it again.
30:22You both can.
30:24I hope you're right.
30:33Mamá, es como si fuera cualquier otra fiscal.
30:35La puedo manejar.
30:36No puede jugar así con mi hijo.
30:38Estás perdiendo tu vida.
30:39Estás perdiendo a tu hija.
30:41Y la posibilidad de encontrar una futura esposa.
30:44No seas tan dramática, mamá.
30:46El que tiene que ser más dramático con su situación
30:49eres tú.
30:50A ver, ¿qué te están dando de comer ahí?
30:52No, sí, sí, estoy comiendo bien, mamá.
30:55Ramen de la tindita.
30:57Ay, tu sodio, hijo.
30:58Se va a ir por los cielos.
31:00¿Te acuerdas de nuestra vecina, la señora Ramírez?
31:03Le di un derrame cerebral gracias a su presión alta.
31:07No me va a dar, amigo.
31:07No, es enough, es enough.
31:09It has to have some bounce to it.
31:11It's not a helmet.
31:13Mamá, ¿te estás peinando mientras hablas conmigo?
31:15Estoy haciendo solo un comercial, hijo.
31:17Mira, escucha, tienes que salir de ahí.
31:20¿Qué voy a hacer si no llegas a mi boda?
31:23¿Quién va a entregar a la novia?
31:24¿Te vas a casar?
31:26¿Otra vez?
31:27¿Con quién?
31:28Con Rick, naturalmente.
31:30Rick, tu nuevo agente.
31:32No sé qué puede ser un conflicto de intereses,
31:35pero vino a visitarme a Calgary
31:36y nos enamoramos durante una excursión de pesca en hielo.
31:42Fue muy romántico y muy frío.
31:46No, mamá, si tú eres feliz, yo soy feliz.
31:49Mamá, me tengo que ir, que tengo que hablar con Cisco.
31:51Bueno, pero mañana te llamo.
31:52Sí, pero cuídate, por favor, ¿eh?
31:54Y recuerda que me tienes que acompañar hasta el altar.
31:57Te quiero mucho, hijito.
31:59Yo también te quiero mucho, mamá.
32:00Ok, bye.
32:01All right.
32:31Can we stop them?
32:39Is this all they sent?
32:41What do you mean?
32:42I mean, this video only starts when Collins gets out of the car to come talk to me.
32:47Well, they sent the dashboard camera footage, but it starts and ends in the exact same place.
32:52Ah, this is bullshit.
32:53Dana Burke knows it.
32:55I want to know what prompted Collins to pull me over in the first place.
32:58I want to see what he was doing before he decided to follow me.
33:01You want Lorna to file another motion?
33:03If she has to.
33:04We need a full hour of body cam footage prior to the start time they gave us.
33:08The dashboard camera, too.
33:10Mick, Lorna's really swamped trying to keep all the balls in the air.
33:14I know.
33:14I'm hoping Izzy can get up to speed on legal finance.
33:17She can take some things of Lorna's plate.
33:20Oh, come on.
33:20Keep playing.
33:24I see your license, registration, proof of insurance, please.
33:26You certainly can, Officer Collins.
33:29But can I ask why you pulled me over?
33:31I mean, I wasn't speeding and all the lights were green.
33:36It's license, registration, insurance.
33:37Can you skip to the part where he shows me the missing license plate?
33:44I see why I pulled you over.
33:46You have no license plate on your vehicle, sir.
33:48Oh, damn it.
33:51So, look, I parked downtown and somebody must have stolen it.
33:56See, that's the thing.
33:57I don't think anybody stole it.
33:59Why would they?
34:01I think somebody put Sam in my trunk and then took the plate, hoping it would give some cup
34:06and excuse to pull me over.
34:07Well, I would say the plan worked, then.
34:10Stop, move.
34:10You know you can't open that trunk.
34:13You don't know if that's blood or if it's coming from the car.
34:17Whatever it is, maybe I drove through it.
34:19Hey, you can't do that.
34:21You okay, Mick?
34:39Sam was a con artist and a crook, but he didn't deserve this.
34:47Who the hell would do this to him?
34:49Well, I tried to put it on me.
34:58All right, well, what else did we get in discovery?
35:01Uh, police reports, preliminary forensics.
35:05The M.E. is estimating Sam was killed the night before your arrest.
35:10We're still missing the tox reports, though.
35:13Well, that could take months.
35:15You know how backed up the state labs are.
35:17I may have a way to speed it up.
35:19There's also a witness, a statement from one of your names,
35:22a Margaret Sjogren, who says she heard two men arguing at your place that night.
35:26I don't think that'll hold up.
35:29It's almost 90.
35:30I didn't think she could hear at all.
35:33We, uh, also have the ballistics report, Mick,
35:38again, it's not good news.
35:41The bullet that went through Sam's stomach was found embedded in your garage floor.
35:48You're saying that whoever did this shut Sam in my garage?
35:50Oh, uh, I have security cameras everywhere.
35:55Yeah, we installed cameras after the rattlesnake incident, sure,
35:58but the front two around the fritz, someone got the connection.
36:04They cut?
36:04I was home that night.
36:07Why didn't I hear the shots?
36:09They probably used to silence her.
36:16So what's the prosecution's theory?
36:19That I kidnapped Sam, shot him in my garage,
36:22and then left his body in my trunk for 24 hours until I left for Palm Springs?
36:26That's insane.
36:28Well, I don't disagree with you, Mick.
36:30My guess is they'll say you were taking the body out to the desert to dump it.
36:35Oh.
36:35And you cut the feet on your own cameras to avoid being caught on tape.
36:39And now they have the bullet to sprinkle on top.
36:45You have visitors.
36:47That's Maggie and Hayley.
36:48I gotta go.
36:50Just go.
36:50We have to get the rest of that footage.
36:52I'm on it.
36:53And Mick, no sweater.
36:56We'll figure it out.
37:08Mrs. Tugani,
37:09I know that losing your lead attorney so close to trial on
37:13embezzlement charges is a tough pill to swallow,
37:17but I can assure you,
37:19we are going to work day and night on your defense.
37:22And the good news is,
37:23narcotics cases are my specialty.
37:25Mr. Reedus.
37:27Mickey trained me for years.
37:28I learned from the best.
37:29And I am ready to take on the toughest cases.
37:32Even money laundering.
37:33Especially money laundering.
37:35And I will be consulting with Mickey every step along the way.
37:38So what do you say,
37:39Mr. Bieber?
37:42Listen, kid.
37:43I hired the Lincoln lawyer,
37:44not legally blind.
37:46Let me know when your law degree hits puberty.
37:48I'm so happy to see you, honey.
37:49Oh, here he is.
38:08Hey, I'm so happy to see you, honey.
38:17Me too.
38:19How are those college courses going?
38:21I'm sure there's new restaurants around USC I need to know about.
38:24Tell me everything.
38:25Come on.
38:26Classes are fine.
38:27I don't really care.
38:28But are you okay?
38:30Honey, I'm totally fine.
38:32I don't want you to worry about me, okay?
38:35How can you say that?
38:36You're in jail.
38:37Help me out of here before you know it.
38:39They've got nothing.
38:40Their case is weak.
38:41How weak?
38:43Well, I just saw the discovery, and there's plenty I can do with it.
38:47And tomorrow I finally get to question a cop who's hiding something.
38:50I know he is.
38:52Hey, you know what a case like this is like, right?
38:56It's like a tree.
38:58I know, Dad.
38:59A tall tree.
39:00And the state does everything they can to feed and water it.
39:05Right.
39:06So what am I?
39:07What am I, Hayley?
39:11You're the man with the ax.
39:13That's right.
39:14I'm the man with the ax.
39:15I'm gonna cut that tree down to the ground.
39:20Roll call.
39:22775-2962.
39:25Here.
39:26What's going on?
39:28They're just making sure no one's escaped.
39:30It's like school attendance.
39:32615-5321.
39:34Yep.
39:38712-2485.
39:41Here.
39:43What are the numbers?
39:44It's just they're booking numbers.
39:45It's the way they keep track of everybody.
39:47It's nothing, honey.
39:48It's just, um...
39:49721-1956.
39:55721...
39:56Here.
39:577-0-4-3-5-5-9.
40:06Here.
40:14Honey, why don't you tell him about the class you're taking on the history of Mexico?
40:19I have to go to the bathroom.
40:21Love you, Dad.
40:27I don't want you to bring Hayley here anymore.
40:36Mickey.
40:37If she wants to come to court, that's fine.
40:39I don't want her to see me like this.
40:43I had clients ask me that before.
40:46I never understood.
40:49Now I do.
40:55Okay.
40:57If you have a delivery, you can leave it at the reception desk.
41:09Oh, um...
41:10I'm actually looking for a lawyer.
41:13Am I in the right place?
41:14Yeah, I'm so sorry. Mickey's not here right now.
41:17Oh, um...
41:18I'm actually looking for...
41:21Lorna Crane.
41:23Oh.
41:24I'm Lorna Crane.
41:25How can I help you?
41:26My friend, Jessica Schwartz, recommended you.
41:28She said that you helped her with her divorce and that, uh, you got her ex-husband's Lambo repossessed.
41:35I did do that.
41:36Yeah. Well, I have my own shitty ex situation.
41:39That's...
41:41Horrible. I'm so sorry.
41:42Anyway, I tried calling, but I couldn't get through.
41:44And I was meeting a friend downtown, so I thought I'd just stop by.
41:47But are you even taking new clients?
41:51Um, as you can see, we are so busy right now.
41:54But I am happy to provide you with a free consultation, and then we can see where we can fit you in.
41:59Why don't you step into my office?
42:01You're welcome.
42:02You're welcome.
42:03Hey.
42:04Grace.
42:05Hey, you came.
42:06Yeah.
42:07Where's everybody else?
42:08Oh, they, uh, they took off to a karaoke bar, I think.
42:24And you stayed?
42:25Yeah.
42:26Well, I mean, I couldn't leave you high and dry if you actually decided to show up.
42:29Do you want to get a drink?
42:30Should we get a drink?
42:31I actually don't drink, and full disclosure, I gotta be at work really early.
42:34That's cool.
42:35That's fine.
42:36Um, that's fine.
42:37That's fine.
42:38Um, that's fine.
42:39How are you doing?
42:40That's fine.
42:41That's fine.
42:42How are you doing?
42:43I don't know.
42:44I don't know.
42:45I don't know.
42:46I don't know.
42:47I don't know.
42:48I don't know.
42:49I don't know.
42:50I don't know.
42:51I don't know.
42:52That's fine.
42:53Um, that's fine.
42:54How about one mocktail and a game of Centipede?
42:57Okay.
42:58I should warn you.
42:59I do currently hold the high score in that game, but I will take it easy on you.
43:02Oh, uh-huh.
43:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:04Uh-huh.
43:05Centipede.
43:06I mean, we could go Pac-Man if that's your GM.
43:08Oh, no, no, no, no.
43:09Centipede's good.
43:10Centipede's good.
43:11All I need is one game.
43:12Okay.
43:13Maybe two.
43:14Okay.
43:15Now we're talking.
43:16It's over here.
43:22So, send me all of those emails and I can take care of all the paperwork.
43:31We are going to get that lying sack of shit.
43:34I am so glad I made the decision to come by her today.
43:37Thank you, Lorna.
43:38Oh, you're welcome.
43:39Okay, we'll talk later.
43:40Okay, bye-bye.
43:41I did it!
43:42I got a new client!
43:43Bam!
43:44See, you can single-handedly keep this place up and running.
43:45Oh, I really can't, sis, go.
43:46I snagged one client, but I lost five.
43:47We need Mickey back.
43:48Maybe this could help.
43:49Did the DA send it over?
43:50Yes, and between getting fired by clients, I called Dana Berg's office.
43:52And you didn't have to file a motion.
43:53Look at that.
43:54Well, she grumbled.
43:55Until I mentioned this trial that Maggie told me about.
43:56Turns out, Dana had a whole case thrown out due to Discovery shenanigans.
43:58And Maggie told you this?
43:59It's kind of an ex-wives thing that you wouldn't really understand.
44:04But this is a bad idea for me.
44:05Here's your boss.
44:06Well, I'm sorry.
44:07How are you doing?
44:08I'm sorry.
44:09Well, you didn't make a decision.
44:10I'm sorry.
44:11You didn't make a decision.
44:12I'm sorry.
44:13But I'm sorry.
44:14I'm sorry.
44:15I'm sorry.
44:16I'm sorry.
44:17I'm sorry.
44:18I'm sorry.
44:19I'm sorry.
44:20I'm sorry.
44:21I'm sorry.
44:22I'm sorry.
44:23So this is the dashboard camera footage,
44:33and this is the body camera footage synced together.
44:38Right now, Collins is sitting in his squad car.
44:47Did you hear that?
44:49Sounds like he got a text message, maybe?
44:51Right, and then he moved like he was picking up a phone.
44:55Well, here comes Mickey.
45:21So how does any of this help us?
45:23He saw the missing plates, he pulled out, and he pulled Mickey over.
45:26It seems very cut and dried.
45:28Were you looking at the body camera footage or just the dashboard camera?
45:31You can't see anything on the body camera footage until Collins gets out of the car.
45:35You can't see one thing.
45:42Look.
45:43He put the car in drive.
45:45Before he ever saw that Mickey's rear plate was missing.
45:49Holy shit.
45:50He didn't just randomly pull Mickey over, he was waiting for him.
45:53And he got a text message right beforehand, which means somebody might have been tipping him off that Mickey was about to come out.
46:00The question is, who?
46:01And why?
46:04Eight, seven, two, four, five, three, five.
46:18Seven, eight, four, five, two, six, nine.
46:23Six, eight, three, four, four, eight, five.
