00:00:05I'm his lawyer. If I do this, I lose everything.
00:00:17We can't do this here.
00:00:19Yeah.
00:00:22Sometimes 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, I'm stopping.
00:01:36No, there's no stopping me.
00:01:39No, there's no stopping me.
00:01:50Well, Dan, you're my lawyer.
00:01:55Mr. Eninger, it's nice to meet you.
00:01:57You know, just one look at you and the jury's going to be on our side.
00:02:01I appreciate the confidence, but if we're going to work together, we need to start by being realistic about your
00:02:07case.
00:02:09What's the matter?
00:02:10We're going to win this thing. I can feel it.
00:02:13Public Defender's Office would beg to differ.
00:02:15We'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.
00:02:29So you don't feel this between you and me?
00:02:32Look, 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.
00:02:41All 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?
00:02:51Your Honor, Cassie Burns, on behalf of Mr. Eninger, who's seated beside me.
00:02:56We wait formal reading.
00:02:57And the defendant, how do you state your appearance?
00:03:03Please, take the deal.
00:03:06Not guilty.
00:03:08Are you kidding?
00:03:10Then, in the case of a conviction, we must consider the death penalty.
00:03:14What?
00:03:16Death penalty?
00:03:18Wait, wait, wait, hold on a second.
00:03:19Mr. Eninger is to be held in the Franklin County Corrections Center until these proceedings begin.
00:03:30Look, I set the rules here, okay?
00:03:33So pull something like that again, and this is over.
00:03:35Understood.
00:03:37I 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.
00:03:51Okay.
00:04:00Julian, what's my ex-boyfriend doing here?
00:04:03What are you doing here?
00:04:05I'm taking over the prosecution.
00:04:08I heard you were going to trial.
00:04:10Look, it wasn't my idea.
00:04:12Oh, I know.
00:04:12You always like complicated cases.
00:04:15And complicated men.
00:04:19Did you come to school me?
00:04:21No, I came to see you screw up.
00:04:23And I'm not going to lie, it's kind of arousing.
00:04:31Oh, wow.
00:04:33Your client has eyes on you like a hawk.
00:04:37Can you stop causing trouble?
00:04:39No, I'm just saying.
00:04:40Who wants?
00:04:40He's like obsessed with you.
00:04:42That's funny.
00:04:44I was going to say the same thing about you.
00:04:46Enough.
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 the jury might kill you.
00:04:55Shut it, Julian.
00:04:57Or what?
00:04:58What's he going to do?
00:05:00Bite me?
00:05:01You always talk this much?
00:05:03Or is it only when you're scared?
00:05:07Careful there.
00:05:08It's kind of toxic.
00:05:11Just like all your men.
00:05:18Careful not to bleed on those white shoes.
00:05:21Good luck controlling that maniac in court.
00:05:24We're 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.
00:05:33Fuck.
00:05:36This is the biggest trial of my career.
00:05:39And I'm going against my ex-boyfriend, of all people.
00:05:46You're handling the Henninger trial?
00:05:48I heard the DA is trying to make an example of him.
00:05:51Yep.
00:05:52Just my luck.
00:05:54We're ready for all that press.
00:05:56If I stay in 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.
00:06:05He's cocky and a huge flirt.
00:06:07You think he's flirting with you?
00:06:11He 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.
00:06:25I like that attitude, Burns.
00:06:29Now I've got to save Lucas.
00:06:30And perhaps risk everything to prove his innocence.
00:06:37Lucas, we need to talk.
00:06:40Cassie.
00:06:49Look.
00:06:52I know.
00:06:55I know I shouldn't have...
00:06:56You assaulted another attorney in a public courthouse.
00:07:00I was just protecting you from that asshole.
00:07:03You shouldn't let people treat you like that.
00:07:10I'm sorry.
00:07:13Lucas, we can't.
00:07:16I can't help myself.
00:07:19It's just...
00:07:21Every 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 how I can trust you.
00:07:47Mr. Henninger, this is highly inappropriate.
00:07:51You do that on purpose?
00:07:53Or am I imagining things?
00:07:55Seems like you and White Shoes have a bit of a history.
00:07:58We went to law school together.
00:08:01And dated for a bit.
00:08:03Huh?
00:08:04An ex, huh?
00:08:06Never do that again.
00:08:08Understood?
00:08:10Yes, ma'am.
00:08:12You're shaking.
00:08:14Am I making you uncomfortable?
00:08:16I'm fine.
00:08:18You're not a very good liar.
00:08:20Let's focus.
00:08:22I need you to tell me every detail of that night.
00:08:24Okay.
00:08:26We 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.
00:08:34Earl Tines.
00:08:36He'd been doing dirty business in the back.
00:08:38Drugs.
00:08:40Middleman 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?
00:08:46Earl?
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.
00:09:00I've seen the news.
00:09:02Everyone out there thinks I'm guilty.
00:09:04I don't.
00:09:05And if we can prove you're innocent with no evidence,
00:09:10I know we could set you free.
00:09:18God, I want her so much.
00:09:19And I will get it at any cost.
00:09:22There's something about him.
00:09:24Stop.
00:09:25He's my client.
00:09:26It's not right.
00:09:27I'm very lucky to have you.
00:09:31Of course, they 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?
00:09:52What do I get in return?
00:09:54How about dinner?
00:09:56Tonight.
00:09:57I was young.
00:09:58Naive.
00:10:03He not only cheated in law school, but he cheated on me too.
00:10:07Multiple times.
00:10:08So that's why you're here.
00:10:10What do you mean?
00:10:12So 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 don't you listen?
00:10:21If you ever need someone to take care of them...
00:10:26You can't say things like that.
00:10:28Damn.
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.
00:10:51Like this.
00:10:54Listen.
00:10:55You deserve better.
00:10:57That's all I'm saying.
00:10:59A gentleman.
00:11:01Will make you happy.
00:11:05His lips.
00:11:07Why do they feel like fire on my skin?
00:11:10I'm scared of these feelings.
00:11:14You're right.
00:11:15I deserve better than Julian.
00:11:18But let's focus.
00:11:27Hey nigga.
00:11:29Someone is here to see you.
00:11:41Wow.
00:11:45What's the occasion?
00:11:46You'll see.
00:11:49You're gonna wanna sit down first.
00:12:00Wait.
00:12:01The guards?
00:12:02Aren't gonna see anything.
00:12:08I paid them off.
00:12:10I thought we could use a little privacy.
00:12:13Oh yeah?
00:12:15Privacy for what?
00:12:19So we can get to know each other a little better.
00:12:25This is definitely a whole new side of you, I'm seeing.
00:12:30But first, I'm gonna need to give you a little pat down.
00:12:35Make sure you're not carrying anything.
00:12:54I think I gotta do another sweep.
00:13:06I think I gotta do another sweep.
00:13:21What's next?
00:13:23Don't you worry.
00:13:26You're good handsome.
00:13:46But wait, you've been back, haven't you?
00:13:49Yes, ma'am.
00:13:51And I need to be punished.
00:13:57I must be dreaming if I think there's any chance my lawyer's gonna fall for me.
00:14:02But that doesn't mean I can't hope for it anyway.
00:14:15You feeling okay?
00:14:17I know it was just a dream, but 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.
00:14:32That's a tall order.
00:14:33And I think I can allow it.
00:14:36Pre-trial's all about strategy.
00:14:40Whoops.
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...
00:14:56Oh.
00:14:57There we go.
00:14:58Much better.
00:14:59Well, shit.
00:15:01I guess dreams really do come true.
00:15:03You really got him under control since the last time we saw each other.
00:15:07You're just lucky.
00:15:07It's my strong arm.
00:15:08You got cuffed.
00:15:09That's all I'm saying.
00:15:11Where are the keys?
00:15:14Ah.
00:15:16Damn it.
00:15:16I forgot them in the car.
00:15:18But 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.
00:15:39Great.
00:15:40Whatever you do, keep your hand close to mine.
00:15:43Oh, yes, ma'am.
00:15:48Counsel, please state your appearances.
00:15:51Good morning, Your Honor.
00:15:53This is Julian Reed for The People.
00:15:54Um, yes, good morning, Your Honor.
00:15:57Cassie Burns on behalf of Mr. Henninger seated beside me.
00:16:01Good morning, Your Honor.
00:16:04Ms. Burns, approach the bench.
00:16:07No, no, I'm totally screwed.
00:16:11Now, please, go ahead.
00:16:19What?
00:16:20What on ever is going on here?
00:16:24Mr. Burns, why are you handcuffed to your client?
00:16:29Never mind.
00:16:30Never mind.
00:16:30Bailiff!
00:16:31Will you please disengage these two?
00:16:34Oh, this is gonna be fine.
00:16:44Oh, sweetie.
00:16:46I heard.
00:16:48Great.
00:16:48Now the entire LA legal community knows I showed up to the trial in handcuffs.
00:16:53Should we call up the Bar Association next?
00:16:55Take this as a lesson.
00:16:56Always keep your distance from clients.
00:16:59I 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.
00:17:11Of course.
00:17:11It's hard for women to get ahead in this field.
00:17:14We have to support one another.
00:17:17Emily would like nothing more than to see me fail.
00:17:19But could she be right about Lucas?
00:17:22Is he completely playing me?
00:17:25Henniger.
00:17:26You have a visitor.
00:17:41Hi, baby.
00:17:43Long time no see.
00:17:47Miss me?
00:17:48What the hell are you doing here?
00:17:50Victory lap before they put you away, honey.
00:17:53Considering they stuck you with that bimbo of a lawyer.
00:17:57Cassie, whatever her name is.
00:17:59You keep her name out of your mouth, you 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 gonna 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, alright?
00:18:15She actually gives a shit about me.
00:18:17Unlike you.
00:18:22It's just business, baby.
00:18:36Hello?
00:18:38Is anyone still here?
00:19:05I have to find out who sent this before they find me.
00:19:10Did you know I got a death threat at my office?
00:19:14Sticking my neck out for you, Lucas.
00:19:16Just so you know, when you decide to not take my advice
00:19:19and dismiss that plea deal, you signed your own death warrant.
00:19:23And possibly mine.
00:19:28Okay.
00:19:31I'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?
00:19:48No, man.
00:19:49Don't talk about her like that.
00:19:50Oh, you going soft for her?
00:19:52No.
00:19:54She's different, alright?
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.
00:20:08She's a planner, alright?
00:20:10We just need more evidence before the trial.
00:20:13I believe in her.
00:20:19You're really not afraid of getting convicted?
00:20:21No.
00:20:22No, and 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,
00:20:36because if you fucked this up for me, you're a dead man.
00:20:52The death threat was addressed from the Econolodge.
00:20:55Whoever sent it must be familiar with the case.
00:21:02Why wouldn't the police want this footage?
00:21:04If Lucas was guilty, wouldn't it only support their case?
00:21:09Unless...
00:21:17The night of the murder.
00:21:19These tapes will finally give me the answer.
00:21:22But if Lucas is guilty...
00:21:28Someone erased the exact moment of footage that could have exonerated Lucas.
00:21:32What is this?
00:21:47Bits!
00:21:55Cassie?
00:21:56Are you okay?
00:21:58What happened?
00:21:59Fine.
00:22:00Hey, keep your distance here, nigger.
00:22:07Listen, I went to the motel last night, and, um, someone attacked me.
00:22:12They ran off before I could see who it was.
00:22:16You 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.
00:22:23There's nothing on them.
00:22:25Sorry, Lucas. Someone clearly tampered with them.
00:22:28Um, it's just a video of Static when the crime took place.
00:22:32I'm definitely gonna pin it on me now.
00:22:34See, I was trying 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.
00:22:50My ex-girlfriend.
00:22:51Hey, Dom.
00:22:52Why don't you, uh, go grab yourself a cup of coffee.
00:22:56Just take ten.
00:23:04How do you have that much cash on you?
00:23:06You know what?
00:23:08Don't tell me.
00:23:15Can I see?
00:23:24God.
00:23:27Cassie.
00:23:31I'm so sorry.
00:23:32This is my fault.
00:23:34You didn't know.
00:23:37Natalie came here the other day.
00:23:39She was just taunting me, trying to get in my head.
00:23:42I 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.
00:23:49And they got together soon after we split.
00:23:51We could track her down, talk some sense into her.
00:23:54Hmm.
00:23:54No.
00:23:56There ain't no talking sense into that woman.
00:23:58Why not?
00:23:59The night of the murder, we...
00:24:03We 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?
00:24:17I'm not.
00:24:24Didn't quite enjoy imagining that.
00:24:27It was just a one-time thing, I swear.
00:24:32I wouldn't usually fuck my friend's girl.
00:24:37Even if she was mine first.
00:24:41I'm guessing Natalie won't agree to take the stand for you.
00:24:44No chance at all.
00:24:46If she did, Earl would find out that she cheated on him.
00:24:48It's me.
00:24:49It's your life on the line, Lucas.
00:24:51Yeah, hers too.
00:24:53He'd kill her if he found out.
00:24:56Okay.
00:24:58Then if you want the jury to believe your story, you're going to have to straighten up your act.
00:25:02No more outbursts.
00:25:04No more fighting in court.
00:25:06Be a gentleman.
00:25:09What about that prick ex-boyfriend?
00:25:13You're just falling.
00:25:29Attention, all staff.
00:25:31Code red.
00:25:32Code red.
00:25:33All units.
00:25:34A disturbance has been reported.
00:25:37This is lockdown procedure.
00:25:45Get in the trap.
00:25:46What are we doing?
00:25:47Grab his piece.
00:25:53Cassie, come with me.
00:25:54Where are we going?
00:26:05Are you sure this was a good idea?
00:26:08Solitaire is the last place anyone wants to be.
00:26:10They're not going to find us here.
00:26:14It's funny how things work out.
00:26:17What do you mean?
00:26:19I 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.
00:26:34I think I should be the one that's saying thank you.
00:26:37You've always believed in me, Cassie.
00:26:40It's nice to know someone actually cares.
00:26:46Hey.
00:26:48I got you.
00:26:51I'm not going to let anything happen to you, Cassie.
00:26:53Promise.
00:26:59It feels really good, having you in my arms.
00:27:04Yeah.
00:27:06It does.
00:27:28I'm trying to have this moment.
00:27:29This is the first time I light eyes on you.
00:27:31No, you don't have to dream.
00:27:32I'm not going to let anything happen.
00:28:01I won't.
00:28:07Are you sure?
00:28:27I just slept with an accused felon, and 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.
00:29:04What's going to happen to Luke, my client?
00:29:07We'll determine the necessary disciplinary actions once this riot mess is sorted out.
00:29:11But 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.
00:29:19Including me.
00:29:24It has to be our little secret.
00:29:30Sorry I'm late.
00:29:33You scared me there for a minute.
00:29:35My night show.
00:29:37Um, well, about yesterday.
00:29:42I know things got crazy, and in the heat of the moment, I just...
00:29:46Just let yourself feel.
00:29:50We can't, Lucas.
00:29:53It was a mistake.
00:29:55No, it wasn't a mistake.
00:29:56Not to me.
00:29:58It's okay to feel.
00:29:59I mean, we're human after all, right?
00:30:02And 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.
00:30:11I couldn't be your lawyer anymore.
00:30:14I know.
00:30:16I know.
00:30:33This stays between us.
00:30:41If anyone found out, I've been hooking up with a client, I'd be fired.
00:30:45Kelsey, I need to see you in my office.
00:30:48Now.
00:30:53We all heard about what happened at Franklin Penitentiary.
00:30:56There's no way they know what happened between me and Lucas.
00:31:03Yes, and I know I shouldn't have...
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.
00:31:15Um.
00:31:16Yeah, it was, but...
00:31:18Eninger 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.
00:31:27And it shows.
00:31:29But 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.
00:31:44But 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, poor thing.
00:32:07Locked in a cell with a client accused of murder?
00:32:10How traumatizing.
00:32:12I wasn't in any danger with him.
00:32:14Well, if you ever need a shrink, he is the best.
00:32:21He totally got me through my first divorce talk about trauma.
00:32:25Can we table this?
00:32:26I have a lot of emails to answer.
00:32:28Yeah.
00:32:28Yeah, of course.
00:32:29I'm just so glad that you're coming off this case.
00:32:32I mean, sure, our work is important, but it doesn't mean we have to risk our lives.
00:32:37I'm still representing him.
00:32:39You're what?
00:32:42Cassie, baby.
00:32:44He'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.
00:33:04He was a lucky guy.
00:33:06I think she's referring to me.
00:33:15Well, 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.
00:33:31I 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.
00:33:43He wins all of his cases.
00:33:45The prosecutor's office has him next in line to be district attorney.
00:33:49They treat us really good over there.
00:33:52I'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.
00:34:08Yeah?
00:34:09Enjoy.
00:34:11Enjoy.
00:34:13All three inches of them.
00:34:14This means war.
00:34:17Horse-sized duck?
00:34:19Or 100 duck-sized horses?
00:34:25Hey.
00:34:27Doing 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.
00:34:49We are here today to examine the case of Lucas Henninger versus the people.
00:34:56Prosecution?
00:34:57Your argument?
00:34:59Thank 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.
00:35:12Someone who cannot and will not be redeemed.
00:35:16Over the course of this trial, the prosecution will show that not only Mr. Henninger here committed the crime,
00:35:23but 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?
00:35:51What's the matter?
00:35:53Nothing.
00:35:58Don't let that loser get to you.
00:36:01You're better than this.
00:36:03Am I?
00:36:05I 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.
00:36:32For 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.
00:37:10We 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.
00:37:20None of it means Lucas is going to die.
00:37:22Come on.
00:37:23Thanks.
00:37:26We need to talk.
00:37:39You'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...
00:37:58I'm sorry.
00:37:58I'm not helping.
00:38:01Let's not spiral.
00:38:02Okay?
00:38:04Stay positive.
00:38:07Cassie, please.
00:38:09You're the only person left that believes in me.
00:38:11Even if it's hard to prove.
00:38:13Another attorney's just going to half-ass it until the jury seals my fate.
00:38:17He's right.
00:38:19And withdrawing mid-trial would only delay things more.
00:38:23Everyone 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.
00:38:37I can't deny it anymore.
00:38:50I can't deny it anymore.
00:39:08Maybe we could make this work.
00:39:11But no one...
00:39:12I mean no one...
00:39:14Could know.
00:39:16Could things between Lucas and me actually get serious?
00:39:29After they sentenced me, I might not ever see Cassie again.
00:39:33Tomorrow's another day.
00:39:34We can still turn this trial around.
00:39:37Yeah.
00:39:38Yeah, we're in this together.
00:39:40And I can't imagine my life without her.
00:39:44No comment, please.
00:39:46Oh, but I have a comment.
00:39:49That's enough, Natalie.
00:39:50Stop fighting it.
00:39:52You'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.
00:40:06Cause it's the last time you're gonna see your lawyer alive.
00:40:30Trial day one.
00:40:31Any big wins?
00:40:33Don'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.
00:40:45So, yeah, I've been a little preoccupied.
00:40:48Seems like Henninger's been getting a lot of your attention, huh?
00:40:56What?
00:40:57She couldn't possibly know about me and Lucas.
00:41:00Yeah, because I actually care about my clients.
00:41:03Rookie 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.
00:41:21Yeah?
00:41:23Yeah.
00:41:24So you can play that game.
00:41:28Hey, easy.
00:41:30Guard.
00:41:31It's okay.
00:41:32Don't worry.
00:41:32I paid him off to look the other way.
00:41:34Oh.
00:41:35Well, 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.
00:41:42Yeah.
00:41:43That's half the fun, isn't it?
00:41:44Not getting caught.
00:41:47Spoken like a true criminal.
00:41:55You know I want you.
00:41:58But I feel like I can't really, truly have you until I'm a free man.
00:42:19She's fraternizing with her clients.
00:42:22You're kidding.
00:42:24I'm going to sell it myself.
00:42:26Getting all cozy in the holding cell.
00:42:29Oh, that sounds just like Cassie.
00:42:32Throwing herself at any man with a pulse.
00:42:35Doesn'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.
00:42:52I can't stand the sight of Julian and Emily.
00:42:59Lucas was right about him.
00:43:05I'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.
00:43:16My cello evictor?
00:43:18The man before the riot, he was shooting off his mouth.
00:43:20I was saying how he was going to take this place down.
00:43:22I don't want to hear your gossip.
00:43:24It 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?
00:44:14I heard you made a little stop at the Econo Lodge.
00:44:18Additional discovery for the case.
00:44:20Well, you can stop looking now.
00:44:22I knew you were there with Lucas that night.
00:44:25I was there to keep him.
00:44:30Distracted.
00:44:32That's right, sweetheart.
00:44:34What'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,
00:44:51I'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?
00:45:23I told you to stay off this case.
00:45:26So 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.
00:45:39About that security footage?
00:45:41I have it right here.
00:45:43And soon, I'll be destroyed.
00:45:46Forever.
00:45:55Son of a bitch.
00:45:57For what it's worth,
00:45:58I really did think you would win this case.
00:46:02I guess no one ever knows.
00:46:08Lucas, you fucker.
00:46:11How did you get in here?
00:46:12I had to make a little prison break.
00:46:14Hey, get back!
00:46:22You know, when he said you had a crazy accent,
00:46:24I 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.
00:46:34You cheated on me with my business partner.
00:46:37I'm going to do you one last favor, Natalie.
00:46:40I'll let you live.
00:46:41But don't ever show your face around here again.
00:46:45Because she's your only alibi.
00:46:49Go!
00:46:51This isn't over.
00:46:57Are you okay?
00:47:03I can't believe he risked everything to save me.
00:47:06I would do anything to protect you.
00:47:09You'd do the same for me.
00:47:10How did you know Natalie was going to be here?
00:47:14I had my ways.
00:47:17Now that she's gone, we can't prove you're innocent.
00:47:24How about this little guy?
00:47:32We can win your case with that.
00:47:36But we need to get you back to prison.
00:47:40Wait.
00:47:41This is my first time being free.
00:47:43A long time.
00:47:45And who knows what the judge is going to say
00:47:47even with the evidence.
00:47:50What do you mean?
00:47:55I just want to know what it's like
00:47:56to be with you as a free man.
00:48:14We can't do this here.
00:48:17Yeah.
00:48:20Sometimes being bad
00:48:22is a little more fun.
00:48:46I've got to say,
00:48:47seeing you all tied up,
00:48:49I really did something to me.
00:48:55Yeah?
00:49:12No, there's no stopping me.
00:49:15No, stop.
00:49:46If they find you here,
00:49:48we're both in huge trouble.
00:49:49No.
00:49:51I'm not going to let that happen.
00:49:54Casey,
00:49:56do you trust me?
00:49:58As long as I do.
00:50:02Hey, stop right there.
00:50:05Let's just talk about this.
00:50:06Please, Mr. Henninger,
00:50:07turn yourself in.
00:50:09You guys think you can take me?
00:50:11I'd like to see you try.
00:50:12I just want to see everybody
00:50:13get out of here in one piece.
00:50:15Key evidence was missing.
00:50:16He just wanted to ensure he could find it.
00:50:18It was a matter of life and death.
00:50:20You guys would love to see me
00:50:21on the chopping block.
00:50:22Hey, Lucas,
00:50:23don't do this.
00:50:28You.
00:50:30And only you.
00:50:38I don't know.
00:51:04Son of a bitch.
00:51:06There it is.
00:51:07The truth of the night in black and white.
00:51:10It was a cover-up.
00:51:11They blamed Lucas, knowing the police wouldn't look into it that much.
00:51:15Knowing the LAPD, I'm not surprised.
00:51:18This is the smoking gun we needed.
00:51:20We can win this case for Lucas.
00:51:22Only if you're quick enough to enter it into evidence.
00:51:29You fucking snitch.
00:51:35What?
00:51:37I don't know what you're talking about.
00:51:38I saw that pretty little lady lawyer of yours.
00:51:42You getting some of that?
00:51:45You have no idea what you're saying.
00:51:47Oh, maybe I should get a piece of that, huh?
00:51:49Shut your mouth, Victor.
00:51:51Don't talk about a woman like that.
00:51:52A woman stuck a bitch is more like it.
00:51:54I heard you two got in a conjugal during the riot.
00:52:00That's not what happened.
00:52:02Then why the fuck are you telling the guards I started that shit?
00:52:06Hell, you should be thanking me.
00:52:11Uh-uh-uh.
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?
00:52:22Uh-uh-uh.
00:52:39Still 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.
00:52:56You'd like that, wouldn't you?
00:53:06Is he okay?
00:53:09Yeah, I'll be right there.
00:53:20I came as fast as I could.
00:53:23That's just a scratch.
00:53:25Good thing I have thick skin.
00:53:26And hard-headed.
00:53:27You were supposed to stay out of trouble.
00:53:30Yeah, well, you know me.
00:53:32Trouble follows.
00:53:34You're not going to be fit to stand trial.
00:53:36This could tank the case.
00:53:37Not 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.
00:53:51Stop.
00:53:52You have a lot of time left.
00:53:55I'm going to make sure of that.
00:53:58And remind us, how many gunshots did you hear, Mr. Henninger?
00:54:02Two, ma'am.
00:54:04I'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.
00:54:14What?
00:54:15But that's impossible.
00:54:19No further questions.
00:54:21Thank 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, and 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?
00:54:54Oh, plain dumb.
00:54:57Well, you certainly have a lot of experience doing that.
00:54:59I'm tired of your constant sabotaging.
00:55:02Mr. Henninger and I have remained completely professional.
00:55:05Then why did I see the two of you making out in the holding cell?
00:55:10She's bluffing.
00:55:12She has to be.
00:55:13But what if she saw us?
00:55:16We're in court.
00:55:17Your statements are nothing without proof.
00:55:19Don't worry.
00:55:21I've got some.
00:55:28Emily, please don't do this.
00:55:33Oh, look.
00:55:34Just the person I wanted to talk to.
00:55:37And who are you?
00:55:38Emily Tippins.
00:55:39Public defender.
00:55:44You're so lucky to have Cassie as your lawyer.
00:55:47Isn't she so attentive?
00:55:50And personal.
00:55:51Yeah, she's real professional.
00:55:54Emily was just leaving.
00:55:56Right.
00:55:58Off to the judge.
00:56:00Good luck, you two.
00:56:01Well.
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.
00:56:28Look if she knows.
00:56:30She saw the two of us together in the holding cell last week.
00:56:33And when she tells the judge they're going to throw this whole case out.
00:56:39What makes you think they're going to believe her?
00:56:47It was on my phone.
00:56:49It's just right here.
00:56:51Hey.
00:56:51I got it under control.
00:56:53Don't worry.
00:56:53What are you talking about?
00:56:55The judge isn't going to find out.
00:56:57She has the proof on her phone.
00:57:02Not 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?
00:57:13Just 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.
00:57:19Lucas just saved my career.
00:57:25What did you do with it?
00:57:27With what?
00:57:28You.
00:57:30Both of you.
00:57:31You are going to pay for this.
00:57:33Hey, what's the problem?
00:57:35This criminal stole my phone.
00:57:38Are you accusing my client of theft?
00:57:40No.
00:57:40I'm accusing both of you.
00:57:42I know you have it.
00:57:45Hey.
00:57:46Ma'am, you must leave now.
00:57:52Hello?
00:57:54Do something.
00:57:57Go.
00:57:59You're not getting away with this.
00:58:01Go.
00:58:07You shouldn't have done that.
00:58:09What else was I supposed to do?
00:58:10I had no other choice.
00:58:11They 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.
00:58:19No, it's not.
00:58:26But we have to be ready for their verdict.
00:58:29No matter what.
00:58:33Look, Cassie.
00:58:35Whatever happens,
00:58:37I just want to say thank you.
00:58:40You've done more than give me just a voice.
00:58:43It's hope.
00:58:45You're the only person that's believed I was innocent ever since the get-go.
00:58:49You've always believed in me.
00:58:51Because you were honest.
00:58:53When I look at you, Lucas,
00:58:55I see a good man.
00:58:57The jury will see you too.
00:59:01I hope so.
00:59:06You know, this might sound crazy, but...
00:59:08I'm falling for you, Cassie Burns.
00:59:12Run 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?
00:59:34Tomorrow 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.
00:59:49Cassie?
00:59:51I love you.
01:00:01This could be the last time I ever see Lucas again.
01:00:05We both know this has been more than just a fling.
01:00:07I feel it too.
01:00:09But...
01:00:10Members of the jury,
01:00:12have you reached a unanimous verdict?
01:00:14We have, Your Honor.
01:00:25In the case of Lucas Henninger versus the people,
01:00:30the jury finds the defendant.
01:00:33Please, please, let him be innocent.
01:00:36Let Lucas live.
01:00:39Guilty.
01:00:41For the offense of murder in the first degree,
01:00:45the 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.
01:00:59Lucas, I'm so sorry.
01:01:02Did you do the best you could, Cassie?
01:01:03I wasn't good enough.
01:01:05Hey, um, good game, by the way.
01:01:08Fuck you, Julian.
01:01:10I'll be sending you an invoice for that cell phone stunt, by the way.
01:01:16I'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 for the first time in my life.
01:01:28Yeah, I did, too.
01:01:31Henninger, it's time.
01:01:41Hope you enjoyed your little affair with your felon boyfriend.
01:01:45Probably 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?
01:01:52It's a figure of speech.
01:01:55Cassie, I need to speak with you.
01:02:01Have a good talk.
01:02:03Might 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.
01:02:10I mean, if we had just...
01:02:11Cassie, stop.
01:02:12When you started here, I wasn't sure you had what it takes.
01:02:15But after this trial, now more than ever...
01:02:20The cameras.
01:02:21Oh, no.
01:02:23Does Ronnie Russell know about me and Lucas?
01:02:26I'm calling a mistrial.
01:02:27What?
01:02:29Why? Did I do something wrong?
01:02:31Not you.
01:02:32The prosecution.
01:02:35Apparently, their attorney decided it was a good idea to prevent you from entering the tape into evidence.
01:02:43Used 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.
01:02:56I can't believe it.
01:02:58Your client deserves another chance.
01:02:59But we have to move quickly.
01:03:02The penitentiary has already scheduled Mr. Henninger's execution.
01:03:06Any final words?
01:03:08Yes.
01:03:08Yes.
01:03:10He'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.
01:03:22We've got to shut this down until the courts can get their shit together.
01:03:30Thank God you're okay.
01:03:33Cassie.
01:03:34Hi.
01:03:35She saved my life.
01:03:36The DEA tracked down Natalie and Earl.
01:03:39They'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.
01:03:50It's been too long since we've been alone together.
01:03:53Okay.
01:04:13Let's get you out of these restraints.
01:04:30Disbarred?
01:04:31That's what they told me.
01:04:33Do you have any integrity?
01:04:35I can get another license.
01:04:37You're no better than Cassie.
01:04:39But please don't be like this.
01:04:41You were in line to be DA, Julian.
01:04:44If I can't marry a lawyer, then what is the point?
01:04:47Baby, 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?
01:05:07Wow.
01:05:08You look...
01:05:09I'm fine.
01:05:12Cassie, I'm free.
01:05:13Let me tell you something.
01:05:14It feels great.
01:05:18First day of freedom.
01:05:20Yeah.
01:05:20I'm just grateful for another day above ground.
01:05:23And I want to spend it with you.
01:05:25The parole is only temporary until the next trial.
01:05:28So 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.
01:06:02Before anything, I think we need to figure something out.
01:06:06Yeah?
01:06:07What'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.
01:06:28Lucas, 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.
01:06:38It's starting now.
01:06:40I want to speak my truth.
01:06:45Lucas.
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.
01:07:04Yes, I do.
01:07:08I'll show you my husband.
01:07:11Yes.
01:07:11Yes.
01:07:15I lado mine.
01:07:17I take care.
01:07:18You're going to get some fun.
01:07:19You're welcome.
