00:00:05I'm his lawyer. If I do this, I lose everything.
00:00:16We can't do this here.
00:00:19Yeah.
00:00:21Sometimes being bad, it's a little more fun.
00:00:39I gotta say, seeing you all tied up, it really did something to me.
00:00:49Yeah.
00:01:05No, there's no stopping me.
00:01:07No, don't stop.
00:01:10No.
00:01:30No.
00:01:32No.
00:01:34No.
00:01:46No.
00:01:50Well, Dan.
00:01:52You're my lawyer.
00:01:54Mr. Eninger, it's nice to meet you.
00:01:56You know, just one look at you and the jury's gonna be on our side.
00:02:01I appreciate the confidence, but, um, if we're gonna work together, we need to start by being realistic about your
00:02:07case.
00:02:08What's the matter?
00:02:10We're gonna win this thing. I can feel it.
00:02:12Public Defender's Office would beg to differ.
00:02:14We're taking the plea bargain.
00:02:16You need to know that nobody else wanted to be assigned to you as a client.
00:02:19Uh-huh.
00:02:21So you took this just because you're sweet on me?
00:02:23No, they gave me the case because I'm the newest.
00:02:26Hmm.
00:02:28So, you don't feel this between you and me?
00:02:31Look, I've got a job to do, and you can either work with me or without me.
00:02:35The judge is offering you a plea deal, and we're taking it.
00:02:39No way.
00:02:40All rise, the Honorable Judge Ruth Griffin presiding.
00:02:45Calling to the matter of the People vs. Eninger.
00:02:48Counselor, how do you state your appearances for the record?
00:02:50Your Honor, Cassie Burns, on behalf of Mr. Eninger, who's seated beside me.
00:02:56We waive formal reading.
00:02:58And the defendant, uh, how do you state your appearance?
00:03:03Please, take the deal.
00:03:06Not guilty.
00:03:07Are you kidding?
00:03:09Then, in the case of a conviction, we must consider the death penalty.
00:03:14What?
00:03:15Death penalty?
00:03:17Wait, wait, wait.
00:03:18Hold on a second.
00:03:19Mr. Eninger is to be held in the Franklin County Corrections Center until these proceedings begin.
00:03:29Look, I set the rules here, okay?
00:03:32So pull something like that again, and this is over.
00:03:35Understood.
00:03:36I can't die an innocent man.
00:03:39You have to promise me that I'm going to walk out of here a free man.
00:03:44Good lawyers don't make promises.
00:03:47But I'll try.
00:04:00Julian, what's my ex-boyfriend doing here?
00:04:03What are you doing here?
00:04:04I'm taking over the prosecution.
00:04:07I heard you were going to trial.
00:04:10Look, it wasn't my idea.
00:04:11Oh, I know.
00:04:12You always like complicated cases.
00:04:16And complicated men.
00:04:19Did you come to school me?
00:04:20No, I came to see you screw up.
00:04:23And I'm not gonna lie, it's...
00:04:25It's kind of arousing.
00:04:30Oh, wow.
00:04:32Your client has eyes on you like a hawk.
00:04:37Can you stop causing trouble?
00:04:38I'm just saying.
00:04:40He's, like, obsessed with you.
00:04:42That's funny.
00:04:43I was gonna say the same thing about you.
00:04:45Enough.
00:04:47Say that to me later.
00:04:49When we're alone.
00:04:50Ooh, cute fantasy.
00:04:52Too bad you're cuffed up, and...
00:04:53The jury might kill you.
00:04:55Shut it, Julian.
00:04:56Or what?
00:04:58What's he gonna do?
00:05:00Bite me?
00:05:01You always talk this much?
00:05:03Or is it only when you're scared?
00:05:06Fearful there.
00:05:08It's kind of toxic.
00:05:10Just like all your men.
00:05:18Careful not to bleed on those white shoes.
00:05:21Good luck controlling that maniac in court.
00:05:24Or convincing anyone that he's anything but a monster.
00:05:27You're the monster, Julian.
00:05:29I'll see you in court, baby.
00:05:32Fuck!
00:05:35This is the biggest trial of my career, and I'm going against my ex-boyfriend, of all people.
00:05:45You're handling the Henninger trial.
00:05:47I heard the DA is trying to make an example of him.
00:05:50Yep.
00:05:51Just my luck.
00:05:53I'm ready for all that press.
00:05:55If I stay on the case.
00:05:58You're already trying to dump your clients?
00:06:00No one's going to take him seriously.
00:06:02Lucas Henninger is a wild guard.
00:06:04He's cocky and a huge flirt.
00:06:06Who you think he's flirting with?
00:06:08You?
00:06:10He didn't take the plea deal?
00:06:13He and I agreed he'll plead guilty at trial.
00:06:16Sounds like you're staying on the case.
00:06:21Yes.
00:06:22I can win this case, ma'am.
00:06:24I like that attitude, Burns.
00:06:28Now I've got to save Lucas, and perhaps risk everything to prove his innocence.
00:06:36Lucas, we need to talk.
00:06:39Cassie.
00:06:51Look, I know, I know I shouldn't have...
00:06:56You assaulted another attorney in a public courthouse.
00:06:59I was just protecting you from that asshole.
00:07:02You shouldn't let people treat you like that.
00:07:09I'm sorry.
00:07:12Lucas, we can't.
00:07:15I can't help myself.
00:07:19It's just...
00:07:20Every time I'm near you, I just want to touch you.
00:07:24I'm your lawyer, Lucas.
00:07:26Then let me help you in this case.
00:07:28I'll tell you everything.
00:07:31But first...
00:07:35I need to know I can trust you.
00:07:46Mr. Henninger, this is highly inappropriate.
00:07:51You do that on purpose?
00:07:52Or am I imagining things?
00:07:54Seems like you and White Shoes have a bit of a history.
00:07:58We went to law school together.
00:08:00And dated for a bit.
00:08:01Huh?
00:08:04An ex, huh?
00:08:06Never do that again.
00:08:07Understood?
00:08:09Yes, ma'am.
00:08:12You're shaking.
00:08:13Am I making you uncomfortable?
00:08:15I'm fine.
00:08:18You're not a very good liar.
00:08:19Let's focus.
00:08:21I need you to tell me every detail of that night.
00:08:24Okay.
00:08:25We had a real nice thing going for a couple of years in the hospitality business.
00:08:30Till my business partner screwed me over.
00:08:33Earl.
00:08:33Earl Tynes.
00:08:35He'd been doing dirty business in the back.
00:08:38Drugs.
00:08:39Middleman type stuff.
00:08:41Till they had a deal go sour.
00:08:43Earl decided to shoot the dealer with my pistol.
00:08:45Earl?
00:08:50So your prints were everywhere.
00:08:52Bingo.
00:08:53The burden of proof is on the prosecution.
00:08:56The court considers you innocent until then.
00:08:58Yeah, but the jury won't.
00:08:59I've seen the news.
00:09:01Everyone out there thinks I'm guilty.
00:09:03I don't.
00:09:05And if we can prove you're innocent with no evidence,
00:09:09I know we could set you free.
00:09:17God, I want her so much.
00:09:19And I will get it at any cost.
00:09:21There's something about him.
00:09:24Stop.
00:09:24He's my client.
00:09:25It's not right.
00:09:27I'm really lucky to have you.
00:09:31Of course, I had to appoint my ex as the opposing counsel.
00:09:34How did you end up with that prick anyway?
00:09:39Julian always said we are in it together.
00:09:41But it was all a lie for him to get ahead.
00:09:50Do you mind if I take a look at those notes?
00:09:51What do I get in return?
00:09:54How about dinner?
00:09:55Tonight.
00:09:56I was young.
00:09:58Naive.
00:10:02He not only cheated in law school, but he cheated on me too.
00:10:06Multiple times.
00:10:08So that's why you're here.
00:10:10What do you mean?
00:10:11So you can get back at him.
00:10:14Don't be ridiculous.
00:10:17Let's focus.
00:10:18We need to talk strategy.
00:10:20Why do you listen?
00:10:21If you need someone to take care of them.
00:10:25You can't say things like that.
00:10:28Pam.
00:10:29Relax.
00:10:30It's just a joke.
00:10:32If you think the death penalty is a joke, then suit yourself.
00:10:37I guess I say stupid shit sometimes when I'm scared.
00:10:41It's okay to be scared.
00:10:43You're human.
00:10:44You need to feel things.
00:10:46Yeah.
00:10:50Like this.
00:10:53Listen.
00:10:55You deserve better.
00:10:56That's all I'm saying.
00:10:58A gentleman.
00:11:00Will make you happy.
00:11:05His lips.
00:11:06Why do they feel like fire on my skin?
00:11:10I'm scared of these feelings.
00:11:13You're right.
00:11:15I deserve rather than Julian.
00:11:17But let's focus.
00:11:27Hey nigga.
00:11:28Someone is here to see you.
00:11:40Wow.
00:11:44That's the occasion.
00:11:46You'll see.
00:11:49You're going to want to sit down for this.
00:12:00Wait.
00:12:00The guards?
00:12:01Aren't going to see anything.
00:12:07I paid them off.
00:12:10I thought we could use a little privacy.
00:12:13Oh yeah?
00:12:14Privacy for what?
00:12:19So we can get to know each other a little better.
00:12:25This is definitely a homely side of you, I'm seeing.
00:12:29But first, I'm going to need to give you a little pat down.
00:12:32Make sure you're not carrying anything.
00:12:41Dangerous.
00:12:55Find anything.
00:12:57I think I got to do another sweep.
00:13:20What's next?
00:13:23Don't you worry.
00:13:25You're good hands now.
00:13:45But wait.
00:13:46You've been bad, haven't you?
00:13:49Yes ma'am.
00:13:50And I want to be punished.
00:13:56I must be dreaming if I think there's any chance my lawyer's going to fall for me.
00:14:01But that doesn't mean I can't hope for it anyway.
00:14:14You feeling okay?
00:14:17I know it was just a dream.
00:14:19But I can't stop thinking about her.
00:14:22Yeah, I just didn't sleep well.
00:14:26Well, whatever you do, don't talk.
00:14:31That's a tall order.
00:14:33I don't think I can allow it.
00:14:36Pre-trial is all about strategy.
00:14:39Whoops.
00:14:43Get these off.
00:14:44Do those look familiar?
00:14:46I'm pretty sure those are the ones we used to use in the bedroom.
00:14:49It was your favorite if you asked me.
00:14:51Hey, relax, okay?
00:14:52It's just a joke.
00:14:54Let me just take care of that real...
00:14:55Oh.
00:14:56There we go.
00:14:58Much better.
00:14:59Well, shit.
00:15:00I guess dreams really do come true.
00:15:02You really got him under control since the last time we saw each other.
00:15:06You're just lucky it's my strong arm you got cuffed.
00:15:09That's all I'm saying.
00:15:10Where are the keys?
00:15:14Ah.
00:15:15Damn it.
00:15:16I forgot them in the car.
00:15:17But hey, good luck with that.
00:15:22I'm going to look like an idiot if I appear in front of the court handcuffed to my own client.
00:15:28I now call this court to order.
00:15:33I just got handcuffed to my client during the most important trial of my career.
00:15:38Great.
00:15:40Whatever you do, keep your hand close to mine.
00:15:42Well, yes, ma'am.
00:15:48Counsel, please state your appearances.
00:15:51Good morning, Your Honor.
00:15:52This is Julian Reed for the people.
00:15:55Um, yes.
00:15:56Good morning, Your Honor.
00:15:57Cassie Burns on behalf of Mr. Henninger.
00:15:59Is he there beside me?
00:16:01Good morning, Your Honor.
00:16:03Mr. Burns, approach the bench.
00:16:07No, no, I'm totally screwed.
00:16:10Now, please.
00:16:13Go ahead.
00:16:18What?
00:16:19What on ever is going on here?
00:16:24Miss Burns?
00:16:25Why are you handcuffed to your client?
00:16:28Never mind, never mind.
00:16:30Bailiff?
00:16:31Will you please disengage these two?
00:16:34Oh, this is going to be fun.
00:16:43Oh, sweetie.
00:16:45I heard.
00:16:47Great.
00:16:48Now, the entire L.A. legal community knows I showed up to the trial in handcuffs.
00:16:52Should we call up the Bar Association next?
00:16:54Take this as a lesson.
00:16:55Always keep your distance from clients.
00:16:58I can't help but believe his innocence, though.
00:17:00I think that he's a con man with a lot of charm that's got him very far.
00:17:05And I think that you are his next mark.
00:17:08I appreciate you looking out for me, Emily.
00:17:10Of course.
00:17:11It's hard for a woman to get ahead in this field.
00:17:13We have to support one another.
00:17:16Emily would like nothing more than to see me fail.
00:17:19But could she be right about Lucas?
00:17:21Is he completely playing me?
00:17:25Hinegar, you have a visitor.
00:17:40hi baby long time no see

00:19:13sticking my neck out for you lucas
00:19:16just so you know when you decide to not take my advice and
00:19:18dismiss that plea deal you signed your own death warrant
00:19:23and possibly mine
00:19:30okay i'll do whatever you want me to
00:19:39how'd it go
00:19:41that baddie lawyer version i get you off maybe in more ways than one

00:20:38you're a dead man
00:20:52the death threat was addressed from the econolodge
00:20:54whoever sent it must be familiar with the case
00:21:01why wouldn't the police want this footage
00:21:04if lucas was guilty
00:21:05wouldn't it only support their case
00:21:08unless
00:21:17the night of the murder
00:21:19these tapes will finally give me the answer
00:21:21but if lucas is guilty
00:21:28someone erased the exact moment of footage that could have exonerated lucas

00:28:07Are you sure?
00:28:27I just slept with an accused felon and liked it.
00:28:36I should get out of here.
00:28:44What is she doing in here?
00:28:46She's my attorney. We got caught in the lockdown.
00:28:51Come with me.
00:28:58Did he hurt you, ma'am?
00:29:00No, actually, he saved me.
00:29:02Let's get you out of here.
00:29:03What's going to happen to Luke, my client?
00:29:06We'll determine the necessary disciplinary actions once this riot mess is sorted out.
00:29:10But he did nothing wrong.
00:29:11Ma'am, every man in here has done something wrong.
00:29:14Just not everyone in here is willing to admit to it.
00:29:18Including me.
00:29:24It has to be our little secret.
00:29:30Sorry I'm late.
00:29:32You scared me there for a minute.
00:29:35My nutshell.
00:29:36How do you feel?
00:29:37Um, well, about yesterday.
00:29:42I know things got crazy in the heat of the moment.
00:29:45I just...
00:29:46Just let yourself feel.
00:29:50We can't, Lucas.
00:29:52There was a mistake.
00:29:54No, it wasn't a mistake.
00:29:56Not to me.
00:29:57It's okay to feel.
00:29:59I mean, we're human after all, right?
00:30:01And I know I feel something with you.
00:30:04Lawyer or not.
00:30:06It feels real.
00:30:07If anyone found out, I'd have to recuse myself.
00:30:10I couldn't be your lawyer anymore.
00:30:13I know.
00:30:33This stays between us.
00:30:40If anyone found out, I've been hooking up with a client, I'd be fired.
00:30:45Cassie, I need to see you in my office.
00:30:47Now.
00:30:52We all heard about what happened at Franklin Penitentiary.
00:30:55There's no way they know what happened between me and Lucas.
00:31:03Yes, and I know I shouldn't...
00:31:05First things first.
00:31:07Are you doing okay?
00:31:09Getting locked up in solitary confinement with a dangerous client.
00:31:12Must have been scary for you.
00:31:14Um.
00:31:15Yeah, it was.
00:31:17But I think there was a gentleman.
00:31:19It's more than I could have handled as a rookie attorney, I'll tell you that much.
00:31:24I'm trying.
00:31:25I know.
00:31:26And it shows.
00:31:28But look, if you need to come off this case, no one's going to think less of you for it.
00:31:33I know 20-year veterans who wouldn't touch a case like this, or would consider him a dead man walking.
00:31:39No, I'm not going to give up on him.
00:31:42Suit yourself.
00:31:43But a little personal advice?
00:31:47I'd invest in some personal protection.
00:31:59Oh, Cassie.
00:32:01Oh, my God.
00:32:03Oh, you poor.
00:32:04Poor thing.
00:32:06Locked in a cell with a client accused of murder?
00:32:09How traumatizing.
00:32:12I wasn't in any danger with him.
00:32:14Oh, if you ever need a shrink.
00:32:18He is the best.
00:32:20He totally got me through my first divorce talk about trauma.
00:32:24Can we table this?
00:32:25I have a lot of emails to answer.
00:32:27Yeah.
00:32:28Yeah, of course.
00:32:29I'm just so glad that you're coming off this case.
00:32:31I mean, sure, our work is important, but it doesn't mean we have to risk our lives.
00:32:36I'm still representing him.
00:32:38You're what?
00:32:41Cassie, baby, he's a murderer.
00:32:45Everybody knows that.
00:32:46I mean, it's all circumstantial.
00:32:49There's a chance I win this case, and that's a risk I'm willing to take.
00:32:54Speaking of winning.
00:32:59You're engaged.
00:33:01I didn't even know you were dating anyone.
00:33:03It was a lucky guy.
00:33:05I think she's referring to me.
00:33:14Well, I mean, congratulations.
00:33:18You two are perfect for each other.
00:33:21Well, thanks for being so mature about it, Cassie.
00:33:24We thought you'd be really torn up.
00:33:26I could kill him right now.
00:33:28Yeah, you're a total girl's girl.
00:33:30I just hope you're not spying on me for the case.
00:33:36I can win on my own, Merit.
00:33:39I don't need Emily gathering intel for me.
00:33:42He wins all of his cases.
00:33:44The prosecutor's office has him next in line to be district attorney.
00:33:48They treat us really good over there.
00:33:51I'm guessing no bagel on lox Friday is here.
00:33:53Well, the PD's office doesn't like to waste taxpayer dollars.
00:33:57Daddy wear bucks.
00:33:59Daddy, huh?
00:34:00Haven't heard you call me that since...
00:34:04I've got to go.
00:34:06Dinner reservations.
00:34:07Yeah.
00:34:08Enjoy.
00:34:10Enjoy.
00:34:12All three inches of them.
00:34:15This means war.
00:34:17Horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?
00:34:25You doing okay?
00:34:28He'll be all right.
00:34:31Don't let him get to you.
00:34:37What is she doing here?
00:34:38Hey, baby.
00:34:41Great.
00:34:42Now I have an audience.
00:34:45All rise.
00:34:48We are here today to examine the case of Lucas Henninger versus the people.
00:34:56Prosecution?
00:34:57Your argument?
00:34:58Thank you, Judge Griffin.
00:35:01This man right here brutally gunned down another man at his place of work.
00:35:06He's an example of the lowest dregs of society.
00:35:11Someone who cannot and will not be redeemed.
00:35:15Over the course of this trial, the prosecution will show that not only Mr. Henninger here committed
00:35:21the crime, but also that there's no more appropriate sentence than the death penalty.
00:35:28Lucas can't die.
00:35:31There is more than his life on the line.
00:35:32It's my heart.
00:35:35Am I starting to fall for him?
00:35:37I'm sorry.
00:35:50What's the matter?
00:35:52Nothing.
00:35:58Don't let that loser get to you.
00:36:00You're better than this.
00:36:02Am I?
00:36:04I mean, I'm sleeping with my client.
00:36:07It was more than that to me.
00:36:09No matter what, I'm glad this all happened.
00:36:12The setup.
00:36:14I mean, heck, even the jail time.
00:36:17Why?
00:36:18Because if things hadn't gone this way.
00:36:22I never would have met you.
00:36:31For you.
00:36:38I knew it since the moment I met you, Cassie.
00:36:41I wanted you.
00:36:45Then come and take me.
00:37:06Oh, she is so finished.
00:37:09We will reconvene tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.
00:37:13Court is adjourned.
00:37:16This trial has been a disaster.
00:37:18But I can't lose.
00:37:19None of it means Lucas is going to die.
00:37:22Come on.
00:37:23Think.
00:37:26We need to talk.
00:37:38You're going to get me out of this room?
00:37:42The prosecution's built a strong case.
00:37:46It's not looking great.
00:37:49Perfect.
00:37:51They're going to send me straight to the electric chair.
00:37:53It's lethal injection, not...
00:37:57I'm sorry.
00:37:58I'm not helping.
00:38:00Um...
00:38:00Let's not spiral.
00:38:02Okay?
00:38:03Stay positive.
00:38:07Cassie, please.
00:38:08You're the only person left that believes in me.
00:38:11Even if it's hard to prove.
00:38:13Another attorney is just going to half-ass it until the jury seals my fate.
00:38:17He's right.
00:38:18And withdrawing mid-trial would only delay things more.
00:38:22Everyone else just thinks I'm a hopeless cause.
00:38:25No one is hopeless.
00:38:27I really believe that.
00:38:30Especially not you.
00:38:32I know it's wrong.
00:38:33But I want Lucas as much as he wants me.
00:38:36I can't deny it anymore.
00:38:39I can't deny it anymore.
00:38:49I can't deny it anymore.
00:38:50I'm...
00:38:51I'm...
00:38:52Don't be.
00:38:55This is a huge risk for both of us.
00:38:57If anyone at the PD's office found out, I could lose my job.
00:39:01I could lose my life.
00:39:08Maybe we could make this work.
00:39:11But no one...
00:39:12I mean no one...
00:39:13Could know.
00:39:15Could things between Lucas and me actually get serious?
00:39:28After they sentence me, I might not ever see Cassie again.
00:39:32Tomorrow's another day.
00:39:34We could still turn this trial around.
00:39:36Yeah.
00:39:38Yeah, we're in this together.
00:39:39And I can't imagine my life without her.
00:39:44No comment, please.
00:39:45Oh, but I have a comment.
00:39:49That's enough, Natalie.
00:39:50Stop fighting it.
00:39:51You're gonna lose.
00:39:53I know exactly what happened that night.
00:39:55Please don't sentence this man to death.
00:39:57If you ever cared about him.
00:39:58I never cared about him.
00:40:01Come on, she's not worth it.
00:40:04Have a good night, sleep in jail.
00:40:06Because it's the last time you're going to see your lawyer alive.
00:40:29Trial day one.
00:40:31Any big wins?
00:40:32Don't.
00:40:34I didn't know you set a date for the wedding.
00:40:37I meant to tell you.
00:40:38You've just had your hands full with that client of yours.
00:40:42I just don't want to send an innocent man to his death, so...
00:40:46Yeah, I've been a little preoccupied.
00:40:48Seems like Henninger's been getting a lot of your attention, huh?
00:40:56She couldn't possibly know about me and Lucas.
00:40:59Yeah, because I actually care about my clients.
00:41:02Rookie mistake.
00:41:04It's a bad idea getting too emotionally invested in any of these cases.
00:41:16Where do you think you're going?
00:41:18Just a little trip south of the border.
00:41:19All right.
00:41:21Yeah?
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:24So you can play that game.
00:41:28Hey, easy.
00:41:29Guard.
00:41:30It's okay.
00:41:31Don't worry, I paid him off to look the other way.
00:41:33Oh.
00:41:34Well, so you thought through everything, didn't you?
00:41:37We need to be more careful.
00:41:39I can't keep defending you if we get caught.
00:41:41Yeah.
00:41:42That's half the fun, isn't it?
00:41:44Not getting caught.
00:41:46Spoken like a true criminal.
00:41:54You know I want you.
00:41:57But I feel like I can't...
00:42:00Really, truly have you until I'm a free man.
00:42:19She's fraternizing with her client.
00:42:22You're kidding.
00:42:23Mm-hmm.
00:42:24It's all of myself.
00:42:26Getting all cozy in the holding cell.
00:42:29That sounds just like Cassie.
00:42:32Throwing herself at any man with a pulse.
00:42:34Doesn't that include you?
00:42:36If we can prove this, then we can get this whole trial thrown out.
00:42:40And Cassie Burns will never practice law ever again.
00:42:51I can't stand the sight of Julian and Emily.
00:42:58Lucas was right about him.
00:43:04I've got to find a way to win this case.
00:43:07Even if it takes all night.
00:43:12Hey, you got a sec?
00:43:14Make it quick.
00:43:15My cell evictor?
00:43:17The man before the riot, he was shooting off his mouth.
00:43:19I was saying, now, he's going to take this place down.
00:43:21I don't want to hear your gossip.
00:43:23It ain't gossip.
00:43:25Look, you already got a problem on your hands.
00:43:27You're going to have another if you don't stop him.
00:43:40Hello?
00:43:43Is anyone here?
00:44:08How'd you sleep?
00:44:11What do you want with me?
00:44:13I heard you made a little stop at the Econo Lodge.
00:44:17Additional discovery for the case.
00:44:19Well, you can stop looking now.
00:44:21I knew you were there with Lucas that night.
00:44:24I was there to keep him...
00:44:29distracted.
00:44:31That's right, sweetheart.
00:44:33What's wrong? Jealous?
00:44:36That makes you an accomplice to murder.
00:44:38You knew Earl was about to murder a man in cold blood.
00:44:40Well, he's long gone by now.
00:44:43And Fez didn't get him.
00:44:45They're gonna put everything on Lucas.
00:44:47Easy target.
00:44:48And when they put the hammer down on Lucas,
00:44:50I'll join him.
00:44:52You're his only alibi.
00:44:54Well, tough shit.
00:44:55He should have thought about that before dumping me.
00:44:58And now I'm gonna get rid of you.
00:45:00So he doesn't even have a chance.
00:45:05You don't have the balls.
00:45:07You wanna bet?
00:45:17Forgot the ammo, huh?
00:45:22I told you to stay off this case.
00:45:25So the letter.
00:45:27It was you.
00:45:29Your pathetic attempt at intimidation.
00:45:31How's this for intimidating?
00:45:37You know, you were right.
00:45:38About that security footage?
00:45:41I have it right here.
00:45:43And soon,
00:45:44I'll be destroyed.
00:45:46Forever.
00:45:54Son of a bitch.
00:45:56For what it's worth,
00:45:58I really did think you would win this case.
00:46:01I guess no one ever knows.
00:46:08You fucker.
00:46:10How did you get in here?
00:46:12I had to make a little prison break.
00:46:14Hey, get back.
00:46:21You know,
00:46:22when he said you had a crazy accent,
00:46:23I didn't think you were this literal.
00:46:25Yeah, he didn't mention
00:46:25what a deadbeat fucking boyfriend
00:46:27he was to me either.
00:46:29You betrayed me.
00:46:33You cheated on me
00:46:34with my business partner.
00:46:36I'm gonna do you
00:46:37one last favor, Natalie.
00:46:39I'll let you live.
00:46:41But don't ever
00:46:42show your face around here again.
00:46:44Because she's your only alibi.
00:46:48Go!
00:46:50This isn't over.
00:46:56Are you okay?
00:47:03I can't believe
00:47:04he wasted everything
00:47:05to save me.
00:47:06How would we do anything
00:47:06to protect you?
00:47:08Would you do the same for me?
00:47:10How did you know
00:47:10Natalie was gonna be here?
00:47:13I had my ways.
00:47:17Now that she's gone,
00:47:18we can't prove you're innocent.
00:47:24How about this little guy?
00:47:32We can win your case for that.
00:47:36But we need to get you
00:47:37back to prison.
00:47:39Wait.
00:47:40This is my first time
00:47:41being free.
00:47:42A long time.
00:47:45And who knows
00:47:46what the judge is gonna say
00:47:47even with the evidence.
00:47:49What do you mean?
00:47:55I just want to know
00:47:55what it's like
00:47:56to be with you
00:47:56as a free man.
00:48:14I just want to know
00:48:16what it's like
00:48:16to be with you
00:48:16as a free man.
00:48:17Yeah.
00:48:20Sometimes being bad
00:48:21it's a little more fun.
00:48:45I gotta say
00:48:46seeing you all tied up
00:48:49that really did
00:48:50something to me.
00:48:55Yeah?
00:48:57No, there's no stopping me.
00:49:15Don't stop.
00:49:44What?
00:49:44Shit, the guy.
00:49:45What?
00:49:46If they find you here, we're both in huge trouble
00:49:49No
00:49:50I don't know why that happened
00:49:54Casey
00:49:55Do you trust me?
00:49:58As long as I do
00:50:02Hey, stop right there
00:50:04Let's just talk about this
00:50:06Please, Mr. Henninger, turn yourself in
00:50:08You guys think you can take me?
00:50:10I'd like to see you try
00:50:11I just want to see everybody get out of here in one piece
00:50:14Key evidence was missing
00:50:15He just wanted to ensure he could find it
00:50:17It was a matter of life and death
00:50:20You guys would love to see me on the chopping block
00:50:22Please, Lucas, don't do this
00:50:28You
00:50:30And only you
00:51:03Son of a bitch
00:51:05There it is
00:51:06The truth of the night
00:51:07In black and white
00:51:10It was a cover-up
00:51:11They blamed Lucas
00:51:12Knowing the police wouldn't look into it that much
00:51:15Knowing the LAPD, I'm not surprised
00:51:17This is the smoking gun we needed
00:51:19We can win this case for Lucas
00:51:21Only if you're quick enough to enter it into evidence
00:51:29You fucking snitch
00:51:35What?
00:51:36I don't know what you're talking about
00:51:38I saw that pretty little lady lawyer of yours
00:51:41You getting some of that?
00:51:44You have no idea what you're saying
00:51:46Oh, maybe I should get a piece of that, huh?
00:51:49Shut your mouth, Victor
00:51:50Don't talk about a woman like that
00:51:52Woman stuck a bitch is more like it
00:51:54I heard you two got in a conjugal during the riot
00:51:59That's not what happened
00:52:01Then why the fuck are you telling the guards I started that shit?
00:52:05Hell, you should be thanking me
00:52:12Either you keep your mouth shut
00:52:14Or I cut that snitch tongue of yours out
00:52:18You know what, asshole?
00:52:20Why don't you shut it for me?
00:52:39So no sign of him?
00:52:46I heard your client had a bit of a prison break.
00:52:51So I guess that means the trial is over.
00:52:55You'd like that, wouldn't you?
00:53:05Is he okay?
00:53:08Yeah, I'll be right there.
00:53:19I came as fast as I could.
00:53:22That's just a scratch.
00:53:24Good thing I have thick skin.
00:53:26And hard-headed.
00:53:27You were supposed to stay out of trouble.
00:53:29Yeah, well, you know me.
00:53:32Trouble follows.
00:53:33You're not going to be fit to stand trial.
00:53:35This could tank the case.
00:53:36Not to mention the additional charges for escape and kidnapping.
00:53:40And if I hadn't showed?
00:53:42Natalie would have killed you.
00:53:45The state already considers me a dead man.
00:53:48I'm just trying to do what good I can with the little time I got left.
00:53:50Stop.
00:53:52You have a lot of time left.
00:53:54I'm going to make sure of that.
00:53:57And remind us, how many gunshots did you hear, Mr. Henninger?
00:54:02Two, ma'am.
00:54:03I'd like to bring in the new tape submitted into evidence this morning, Judge Griffin.
00:54:08I'm sorry, Ms. Burns.
00:54:10We have no record of this alleged tape.
00:54:13What?
00:54:14But that's impossible.
00:54:18No further questions.
00:54:20Thank you, Ms. Burns.
00:54:23Now that the witness testimony has concluded, the jury will retire to the jury room for final deliberations.
00:54:32In a matter of hours, my fate will be sealed.
00:54:35And I might not ever see Cassie again.
00:54:37If I can't win this case for Lucas, they'll be sentencing an innocent man to death.
00:54:51I know you're screwing him.
00:54:53What?
00:54:54No.
00:54:55Plain dumb.
00:54:56Well, you certainly have a lot of experience doing that.
00:54:59I'm tired of your constant sabotaging.
00:55:01Mr. Henninger and I have remained completely professional.
00:55:04Then why?
00:55:06Did I see the two of you making out in the holding cell?
00:55:10She's bluffing.
00:55:11She has to be.
00:55:12But what if she saw us?
00:55:15We're in court.
00:55:17Your statements are nothing without proof.
00:55:19Don't worry.
00:55:20I've got some.
00:55:28Emily, please don't do this.
00:55:32Oh, look.
00:55:34Just the person I wanted to talk to.
00:55:36And who are you?
00:55:37Emily Dimmons.
00:55:39Public defender.
00:55:44You're so lucky to have Cassie as your lawyer.
00:55:47Isn't she so attentive?
00:55:49And personal.
00:55:51Yeah.
00:55:52She's a real professional.
00:55:54Emily was just leaving.
00:55:56Right.
00:55:57Off to the judge.
00:55:59Good luck, you two.
00:56:10Judge Griffin.
00:56:12Can I help you?
00:56:15About Miss Burns.
00:56:17There's something you should know.
00:56:24What are you doing out here?
00:56:26Bathroom break.
00:56:28Lucas, she knows.
00:56:29She saw the two of us together in the holding cell last week.
00:56:32And when she tells the judge they're going to throw this whole case out.
00:56:38What makes you think they're going to believe her?
00:56:47It was on my phone.
00:56:48It's just right here.
00:56:50Hey.
00:56:51I got it under control.
00:56:52Don't worry.
00:56:53What are you talking about?
00:56:54The judge isn't going to find out.
00:56:57She has the proof on her phone.
00:57:01Not exactly.
00:57:04While she was busy trying to get under your skin, I took the liberty of securing the evidence.
00:57:10Lucas.
00:57:11What?
00:57:12Just take a little trip to the men's restaurant?
00:57:15Then we'll be halfway through the sewer by the time she finds out.
00:57:18Lucas just saved my career.
00:57:24What did you do with it?
00:57:26With what?
00:57:28You.
00:57:29Both of you.
00:57:31You are going to pay for this.
00:57:33Hey, what's the problem?
00:57:34This criminal stole my phone.
00:57:37Are you accusing my client of theft?
00:57:39No.
00:57:40I'm accusing both of you.
00:57:42I know you have it.
00:57:44Hey.
00:57:46Ma'am, you must leave now.
00:57:52Hello?
00:57:53Do something.
00:57:57Go.
00:57:59You're not getting away with us.
00:58:00Go.
00:58:06You shouldn't have done that.
00:58:08What else was I supposed to do?
00:58:09I had no other choice.
00:58:10They want to paint you as a criminal.
00:58:12We can't give them any more ammunition.
00:58:14She was going to ruin this case for us.
00:58:17Now life's over.
00:58:18No, it's not.
00:58:26But we have to be ready for their verdict.
00:58:29No matter what.
00:58:32Look, Cassie, whatever happens, I just want to say thank you.
00:58:39You've done more than give me just a voice.
00:58:42It's hope.
00:58:45You're the only person that's believed I was innocent ever since the get-go.
00:58:48You've always believed in me.
00:58:50Because you were honest.
00:58:53When I look at you, Lucas, I see a good man.
00:58:57The jury will see it too.
00:59:01I hope so.
00:59:05You know, this might sound crazy, but I'm falling for you, Cassie Burns.
00:59:11Run away with me.
00:59:14Lucas is a passionate man.
00:59:16That much I know.
00:59:17Is this really more than just a fling?
00:59:33Tomorrow I'm a free man.
00:59:37When I think about my future,
00:59:40I see you in it.
00:59:43I do too, Lucas.
00:59:48Cassie?
00:59:51I love you.
01:00:01This could be the last time I ever see Lucas again.
01:00:04We both know this has been more than just a fling.
01:00:07I feel it too, but...
01:00:10Members of the jury, have you reached a unanimous verdict?
01:00:14We have, Your Honor.
01:00:24In the case of Lucas Henninger versus the people,
01:00:29the jury finds the defendant.
01:00:33Please, please let him be innocent.
01:00:36Let Lucas live.
01:00:38Guilty.
01:00:40For the offense of murder in the first degree,
01:00:44the court imposes a sentence of death by lethal injection.
01:00:52I can't believe we lost.
01:00:54Lucas will die in prison.
01:00:56And it's all my fault.
01:00:58Lucas, I'm so sorry.
01:01:01You did the best you could, Cassie.
01:01:03I wasn't good enough.
01:01:05Hey, um...
01:01:06Good game, by the way.
01:01:07Fuck you, Julian.
01:01:09I'll be sending you an invoice for that cell phone stunt, by the way.
01:01:15I'm sorry if we just had gotten to the tape.
01:01:18No.
01:01:19I'm glad about the way things turned out.
01:01:22I got to experience real love.
01:01:24For the first time in my life.
01:01:27Yeah, I did too.
01:01:30Henninger.
01:01:32It's time.
01:01:41Hope you enjoyed your little affair with your felon boyfriend.
01:01:44Probably the last time you'll ever see him, now that he's in the chair.
01:01:48Oh, it's lethal injection now.
01:01:50You know that, right?
01:01:51It's a figure of speech.
01:01:55Cassie, I need to speak with you.
01:02:01Have a good talk.
01:02:02Might be the last one you ever have in this office.
01:02:06I don't know what happened to the tapes we submitted into evidence.
01:02:09I mean, if we had just...
01:02:10Cassie, stop.
01:02:11When you started here, I wasn't sure you had what it takes.
01:02:15But after this trial, now more than ever...
01:02:19The cameras.
01:02:21Oh, no.
01:02:22Does Ronnie Russell know about me and Lucas?
01:02:25I'm calling a mistrail.
01:02:27What?
01:02:29Why?
01:02:29Did I do something wrong?
01:02:30Not you.
01:02:31The prosecution.
01:02:34Apparently, their attorney decided it was a good idea to prevent you from entering the tape into evidence.
01:02:42He used water to erase the information on the tape.
01:02:50The digital forensic team at the precinct was able to recover your footage.
01:02:54Your smoking gun.
01:02:55I can't believe it.
01:02:57Your client deserves another chance.
01:02:59But we have to move quickly.
01:03:01The penitentiary has already scheduled Mr. Henninger's execution.
01:03:05Any final words?
01:03:07Yes.
01:03:09He's innocent.
01:03:11Cassie.
01:03:12The judge has stayed the execution.
01:03:14They're declaring a mistrial.
01:03:17Lucas Henninger deserves to live.
01:03:20All right.
01:03:21We gotta shut this down until the courts can get their shit together.
01:03:30Hey, God, you're okay.
01:03:32Cassie.
01:03:33Hi.
01:03:34You saved my life.
01:03:36The DEA tracked down Natalie and Earl.
01:03:38They're rating them as we speak.
01:03:41Good.
01:03:42They deserve what they got coming to them.
01:03:46Let's get you out of these restraints.
01:03:48No, wait.
01:03:49It's been too long since we've been alone together.
01:04:11I'm sorry.
01:04:17It's been too long since we've been alone together.
01:04:29Disbarred?
01:04:31That's what they told me.
01:04:32Do you have any integrity?
01:04:34I can get another license.
01:04:36You're no better than Cassie.
01:04:38But please don't be like this.
01:04:40You were in line to be DA, Julian.
01:04:43If I can't marry a lawyer, then what is the point?
01:04:46Baby, we can get through this.
01:04:50I'm keeping the ring.
01:04:52Consider it billable hours.
01:04:56Baby.
01:04:58Ow.
01:04:59What are you looking at?
01:05:06Wow.
01:05:07You look...
01:05:09I'm fine.
01:05:11Cassie, I'm free.
01:05:13Let me tell you something.
01:05:14It feels great.
01:05:18First day of freedom.
01:05:19Yeah.
01:05:20I'm just grateful for another day above ground.
01:05:22And I want to spend it with you.
01:05:24The parole is only temporary until the next trial.
01:05:27So make sure you enjoy every last bit of it.
01:05:30I will.
01:05:33And speaking of which, I wanted to talk to you.
01:05:37With the retrial coming up and everything.
01:05:41Cassie, you've done more than just set me free.
01:05:44You've changed my life.
01:05:46You saw me when no one else would.
01:05:49And you always believed in me.
01:05:53Thank you for believing in yourself.
01:05:56Well, you know, honestly, I'm just excited to get to do normal stuff with you now in the outside world.
01:06:01Before anything, I think we need to figure something out.
01:06:05Yeah?
01:06:06What's that?
01:06:08Am I going to be your lawyer?
01:06:10Or your girlfriend?
01:06:20I know it's not much, but...
01:06:22I made this for you.
01:06:24On the first day we met.
01:06:27Lucas, I don't know what to say.
01:06:30Cassie, I know what it's like to take life for granted.
01:06:35And I'm not ever going to do that again.
01:06:38Starting now, I want to speak my truth.
01:06:45Lucas.
01:06:47Cassie, I've been given a second chance at life.
01:06:50I'm going to do things right.
01:06:52Starting with you.
01:06:57Cassie Burns.
01:06:59Will you marry me?
01:07:02Yes.
01:07:03Yes, I do.
