00:09:39Julian always said

00:11:14you're right
00:11:14I deserve
00:11:15rather than Julian
00:11:18but let's focus

00:11:47to
00:11:48when he
00:11:48takes you they
00:11:49You're going to want to sit down for this.
00:12:00Wait, the guards?
00:12:01Aren't going to see anything.
00:12:07I paid them off.
00:12:10Thought we could use a little privacy.
00:12:13Oh, yeah?
00:12:14Trying to see 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.
00:12:34Make sure you're not carrying anything.
00:12:42Dangerous.
00:12:55I think I've got to do another sweep.
00:13:15I think I've got to do another sweep.
00:13:21What's next?
00:13:23Don't you worry.
00:13:26You're in good hands now.
00:13:45But wait.
00:13:47You've been bad, haven't you?
00:13:49Yes, ma'am.
00:13:51I need to be punished.
00:13:57I 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.
00:14:15You're 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, uh, didn't sleep well.
00:14:27Well, whatever you do, don't talk.
00:14:31That's a tall order.
00:14:33And I think I can allow it.
00:14:36Pre-trial's 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 ask me.
00:14:51Hey, relax, okay?
00:14:53It's just a joke.
00:14:54Let me just take care of that real...
00:14:55Oh.
00:14:57There 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, I forgot them in the car.
00:15:17But hey, good luck with that.
00:15:22I'm gonna 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.
00:15:43Well, 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.
00:16:04Miss Burns?
00:16:05Miss Burns, approach the bench.
00:16:07No, no, I'm totally screwed.
00:16:10Now, please.
00:16:13Go ahead.
00:16:19What?
00:16:20What 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?
00:16:30Will you please disengage these two?
00:16:34No, this is going to be fine.
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.
00:16:53Should we call up the Bar Association next?
00:16:54Take this as a lesson.
00:16:56Always 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 women to get ahead in this field.
00:17:14We 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?
00:17:25Henninger, you have a visitor.
00:17:41Hi, baby.
00:17:43Long time no see.
00:17:46Miss me?
00:17:47What the hell are you doing here?
00:17:49Victory lap before they put you away, honey.
00:17:53Considering they stuck you with that bimble of a lawyer.
00:17:56Cassie.
00:17:57Whatever her name is.
00:17:58You keep her name out of your mouth.
00:18:00You hear me?
00:18:01It's really bold of you to be showing your face around here.
00:18:03A fake ID can get you a long way.
00:18:06And mine's going to take me all the way across the border.
00:18:10Collect thinking you have a chance of getting out of here.
00:18:12She's getting me out, all right?
00:18:15She actually gives a shit about me.
00:18:17Unlike you.
00:18:22It's just business, baby.
00:18:25Baby.
00:18:35Hello?
00:18:37Is anyone still here?
00:18:39Is anyone still here?
00:19:04I have to find out who sent this before they find me.
00:19:10Did you know I got a death threat at my office?
00:19:13Sticking my neck out for you, Lucas.
00:19:16Just so you know, when you decide to not take my advice and dismiss that plea deal, you signed your
00:19:21own death warrant.
00:19:23And possibly mine.
00:19:28Okay.
00:19:30I'll do whatever you want me to.
00:19:39How'd it go?
00:19:41That baddie lawyer version that gets you off?
00:19:44Maybe in more ways than one?
00:19:47No, man.
00:19:49Don't talk about her like that.
00:19:50Oh, you going soft for her?
00:19:52No.
00:19:53She's different, all right?
00:19:55She actually cares.
00:19:57You know those public defenders don't make enough money to give a fuck about us.
00:20:02So whatever she's telling you, it's all an act.
00:20:06It's not an act.
00:20:07She's a plan, all right?
00:20:10We just need more evidence before the trial.
00:20:13I believe in her.
00:20:19You're really not afraid to get in contact, too?
00:20:21No.
00:20:22Not when you got nothing to lose.
00:20:25If they find out your plan, I'm screwed over, too.
00:20:29Then they better not find out.
00:20:34You better not be the one who opens his mouth, because if you fucked this up for me, you're a
00:20:39dead man.
00:20:52The death threat was addressed from the Econolodge.
00:20:55Whoever sent it must be familiar with the case.
00:21:01Why wouldn't the police want this footage?
00:21:04If Lucas was guilty, wouldn't it only support their case?
00:21:08Unless...
00:21:11Unless...
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.
00:21:55Cassie, are you okay?
00:21:57What happened?
00:21:59Fine.
00:22:00Hey!
00:22:01Keep your distance here, nigger!
00:22:06Listen, I went to the motel last night, and, um, someone attacked me.
00:22:12They ran off before I could see who it was.
00:22:15You shouldn't be out there risking your life for me like that.
00:22:19Well, they figured out why the prosecution hasn't subpoenaed the tapes.
00:22:22There's nothing on them.
00:22:24I'm sorry, Lucas.
00:22:26Someone clearly tampered with them.
00:22:28It's just a video of Static when the crime took place.
00:22:31I'm definitely gonna pin it on me now.
00:22:34See, I was...
00:22:35Trying to cover my tracks.
00:22:37We'll figure out another way.
00:22:42I think I know who's taking that letter.
00:22:45Who?
00:22:48Natalie.
00:22:49My ex-girlfriend.
00:22:51Hey, Dom.
00:22:52Why don't you, uh, go grab yourself a cup of coffee.
00:22:55Just take ten.
00:23:04How do you have that much cash on you?
00:23:05You know what?
00:23:08Don't tell me.
00:23:14Can I see?
00:23:23God.
00:23:27Cassie.
00:23:30I'm so sorry.
00:23:32This is my fault.
00:23:33You didn't know.
00:23:37Natalie came here the other day.
00:23:38She was just taunting me, trying to get in my head.
00:23:41I should have told you.
00:23:43She knows what happened?
00:23:45Yeah.
00:23:46And she's helping that bastard get away with it.
00:23:49They got together soon after we split.
00:23:51We could track her down, talk some sense into her.
00:23:54No.
00:23:55They ain't not talking sense into that woman.
00:23:58Why not?
00:23:58The night of the murder, we, uh, we hooked up.
00:24:08Wait.
00:24:11We shouldn't.
00:24:12What if Ro finds out?
00:24:14Why are you so scared of him?
00:24:16I'm not.
00:24:17I'm not.
00:24:24Didn't quite enjoy imagining that.
00:24:27It was just a one-time thing, I swear.
00:24:31I wouldn't usually fuck my friend's girl.
00:24:37Even if she was mine first.
00:24:40I'm guessing Natalie won't agree to take the stand for you.
00:24:43No chance at all.
00:24:45If she did, Earl would find out that she cheated on him.
00:24:48It's me.
00:24:48It's your life on the line, Lucas.
00:24:51Yeah, hers too.
00:24:52You'd kill her if you found out.
00:24:55Okay.
00:24:57Then if you want the jury to believe your story, you're going to have to straighten up your act.
00:25:02No more outbursts.
00:25:03No more fighting in court.
00:25:06Be a gentleman.
00:25:09What about that prick ex-boyfriend?
00:25:13I'm just full of it.
00:25:34I'm just full of it.
00:25:53Cassie, come with me.
00:25:54Where are we going?
00:25:55Let's go, Juan.
00:25:56What?
00:26:05Are you sure this was a good idea?
00:26:07Solitaire is the last place anyone wants to be.
00:26:10They're not going to find us here.
00:26:13It's funny how things work out.
00:26:16What do you mean?
00:26:18I mean, I want you to win this case so bad, and now I'm locked up in here with you.
00:26:26Well, you're safer in here than out there.
00:26:30Thank you for keeping me safe.
00:26:33I think I should be the one that's saying thank you.
00:26:36You've always believed in me, Cassie.
00:26:39It's nice to know someone actually cares.
00:26:46Hey.
00:26:47I got you.
00:26:50I'm not going to let anything happen to you, Cassie.
00:26:52I promise.
00:26:58It feels really good having you in my arms.
00:27:02Yeah.
00:27:05It does.
00:27:28I'm sure you have to smell it.
00:27:29This is the first time I lay eyes on you.
00:27:30You don't have to dream.
00:28:00I'm ready to go.
00:28:02I won't.
00:28:08Are you sure?
00:28:27I just slept with an accused felon.
00:28:30And liked it.
00:28:36We should get out of here.
00:28:44What is she doing in here?
00:28:47She's my attorney.
00:28:48We 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.
00:29:12Ma'am, every man in here has done something wrong.
00:29:15Just 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.
00:29:35Might not show.
00:29:37Um, well, about yesterday.
00:29:42I know things got crazy in the heat of the moment.
00:29:45And I just...
00:29:46Just let yourself feel.
00:29:50We can't, Lucas.
00:29:53It 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.
00:30:08If 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,
00:30:43I'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, yeah, it was, but Edinger 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.
00:31:26I know.
00:31:26And it shows.
00:31:28But look, if you need to come off this case,
00:31:31no 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
00:31:36or would consider him a dead man walking.
00:31:39No, I'm not going to give up on him.
00:31:42Suit yourself.
00:31:44But a little personal advice?
00:31:47I'd invest in some personal protection.
00:32:00Cassie, oh my God.
00:32:03Oh, you poor, poor 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.
00:32:21He 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, yeah, 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,
00:32:33but 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,
00:32:50and 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.
00:33:33Oh!
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.
00:33:49They treat us really good over there.
00:33:51I'm guessing no bagel on lox Friday is here.
00:33:54Well, the PD's office doesn't like to waste taxpayer dollars.
00:33:58Daddy wear bucks.
00:33:59Daddy, huh?
00:34:01Haven't heard you call me that since...
00:34:04I've got to go.
00:34:06Dinner reservations.
00:34:07Yeah.
00:34:08Enjoy.
00:34:11Enjoy.
00:34:13All three inches of them.
00:34:15This means war.
00:34:17Horse-sized duck?
00:34:19Or 100 duck-sized horses?
00:34:26Doin' okay?
00:34:29He'll be all right.
00:34:31Don't let him get to you.
00:34:37What is she doing here?
00:34:39Hey, 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.
00:35:07He'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 the crime,
00:35:22but also that there's no more appropriate sentence than the death penalty.
00:35:29Lucas can't die.
00:35:31There's more than his life on the line.
00:35:33It's my heart.
00:35:35Am I starting to fall for him?
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.
00:36:10No matter what, I'm glad this all happened.
00:36:13The 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.
00:37:23Thanks.
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.
00:38:28I 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.
00:38:38What?
00:38:49Sorry.
00:38:51I'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...
00:39:14Could know.
00:39:15Could things between Lucas and me actually get serious?
00:39:29After they sentence me, I might not ever see Cassie again.
00:39:32Tomorrow's another day.
00:39:34We can 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.
00:39:42No 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.
00:39:53You 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.
00:40:02Come 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 gonna see your lawyer alive.
00:40:29Trial day one.
00:40:31Any big wins?
00:40:32Don't.
00:40:35I didn't know you set a date for the wedding.
00:40:37I meant to tell you.
00:40:39You'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...
00:40:45Yeah, I've been a little preoccupied.
00:40:48Seems like Henninger's been getting a lot of your attention, huh?
00:40:55What?
00:40:56She couldn't possibly know about me and Lucas.
00:41:00Yeah, because I actually care about my clients.
00:41:02Rookie mistake.
00:41:03Like, it'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.
00:41:21Yeah?
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:24So you can play that game.
00:41:27Hey, easy.
00:41:29Guard.
00:41:30It's okay.
00:41:31Don't worry.
00:41:32I paid him off to look the other way.
00:41:34Oh.
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.
00:41:47Spoken like a true criminal.
00:41:54You know I want you.
00:41:57But I feel like I can't.
00:42:00I'm really, truly happy until I'm a free man.
00:42:19She's fraternizing with her clients.
00:42:22You're kidding.
00:42:23I'm going to sell it 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.
00:43:13Hey, 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 about how he was going to take this place down.
00:43:22I 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?
00:44:12What do you want with me?
00:44:13I heard you made a little stop at the Econo Lodge.
00:44:18Additional discovery for the case.
00:44:19Well, you can stop looking now.
00:44:22I knew you were there with Lucas that night.
00:44:24I was there to keep him.
00:44:27I was there to keep him.
00:44:29Distracted.
00:44:31That's right, sweetheart.
00:44:33What's wrong?
00:44:35Jealous?
00:44:36That makes you an accomplice to murder.
00:44:38You knew Earl was about to murder a man in cold blood.
00:44:41Well, he's long gone by now.
00:44:43And Fez didn't get him.
00:44:45They're going to 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 going to get rid of you.
00:45:00So he doesn't even have a chance.
00:45:06You don't have the balls.
00:45:08You want to 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.
00:45:32How'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, I'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.
00:46:08Fuck it.
00:46:08You fucker.
00:46:11How did you get in here?
00:46:12I had to make a little prison break.
00:46:14Hey, you're back.
00:46:15Fuck.
00:46:21You know, when you said you had a crazy accent,
00:46:23I didn't think you were this literal.
00:46:25Yeah, he didn't mention what a deadbeat fucking boyfriend
00:46:27he was to me either.
00:46:29You betrayed me.
00:46:33You cheated on me with my business partner.
00:46:36I'm going to do you one last favor, Natalie.
00:46:39I'll let you live.
00:46:41But don't ever show your face around here again.
00:46:44Because she's your only alibi.
00:46:48Go!
00:46:51This isn't over.
00:46:57You okay?
00:47:03I can't believe he risked everything to save me.
00:47:06I would do anything to protect you.
00:47:08You'd do the same for me.
00:47:10How did you know Natalie was going to be here?
00:47:13I had no 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 back to prison.
00:47:39Wait.
00:47:40This is my first time being free.
00:47:42A long time.
00:47:45And who knows what the judge is going to say
00:47:47even with the evidence.
00:47:49What do you mean?
00:47:55I just want to know what it's like
00:47:56to be with you as a free man.
00:48:13We can't do this here.
00:48:17Yeah.
00:48:20Sometimes being bad
00:48:21is a little more fun.

01:02:50the digital forensic team at the precinct was able to recover your footage your 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

01:04:32Do you have any integrity?
01:04:34I can get another license.
01:04:37You're no better than Cassie.
01:04:39But 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?
01:04:46Maybe we can get through this.
01:04:50I'm keeping the ring.
01:04:53Consider it billable hours.
01:04:56Baby.
01:04:58Ow.
01:04:59What are you looking at?

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.
01:05:25The 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.
01:05:47You saw me when no one else would.
01:05:50And you always believed in me.
01:05:54Thank 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.
01:06:01Well, before 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 or your girlfriend?
01:06:20I know it's not much, but I made this for you on 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.
01:06:47Cassie, I've been given a second chance at life.
01:06:51I'm going to do things right.
01:06:53Starting with you.
01:06:57Cassie Burns, will you marry me?
01:07:02Yes.
