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?
00:13:23I think I'm gonna need to get to know each other.
00:13:26You're good hands now.
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 going to 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 didn't sleep well.
00:14:27Well, whatever you do, don't talk.
00:14:32That's a tall order.
00:14:34And 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.
00:14:59Much 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 it's my strong arm.
00:15:08You got cuffed.
00:15:09That's all I'm saying.
00:15:11Where are the keys?
00:15:16Damn it, I forgot them in the car.
00:15:18But 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.
00:15:43Oh, 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.
00:15:55Um, yes, good morning, Your Honor.
00:15:57Cassie Burns, on behalf of Mr. Henninger, seated beside me.
00:16:01Good morning, Your Honor.
00:16:04Miss 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, never mind.
00:16:30Bailiff, will you please disengage these two?
00:16:34Oh, this is going to be fine.
00:16:44Oh, sweetie.
00:16:46I heard.
00:16:48Great.
00:16:49Now, 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?
00:16:55Take this as a lesson.
00:16:56Always keep your distance from clients.
00:16:59I can't help but believe his innocence, though.
00:17:01I 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?
00:17:26Henniger, you 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?
00:17:49Victory lap before they put you away, honey.
00:17:53Considering they stuck you with that bimbo of a lawyer.
00:17:57Cassie.
00:17:58Whatever her name is.
00:17:59You 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 gonna take me all the way across the border.
00:18:10Collect thinking you have a chance of getting out of here.
00:18:13She'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 and dismiss that plea deal, you signed your
00:19:21own 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?
00:19:48I don't know, 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, 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, right?
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, 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.
00:21:02Why wouldn't the police want this footage?
00:21:04If Lucas was guilty, wouldn't it only support their case?
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.
00:21:56Cassie, are you okay?
00:21:58What happened?
00:21:59Fine.
00:22:01Hey, 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.
00:22:25I'm sorry, Lucas.
00:22:26Someone clearly tampered with them.
00:22:28It's just a video of Static when the crime took place.
00:22:32I'm definitely gonna pin it on me now.
00:22:34See, I was...
00:22:36trying 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?
00:23:23God.
00:23:27Cassie.
00:23:30I'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.
00:23:49They got together soon after we split.
00:23:51We could track her down, talk some sense into her.
00:23:54No.
00:23:56They ain't not 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.
00:24:31I 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?
00:25:13I'm just fooling.
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.
00:25:44Shit.
00:25:46What are we doing?
00:25:47Grab his piece.
00:25:53Cassie, come with me.
00:25:54Where are we going?
00:25:55It's all what?
00:25:56What?
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.
00:26:53I promise.
00:26:59It feels really good.
00:27:01Having you in my arms.
00:27:04Yeah.
00:27:06It does.
00:27:28I've been dreaming of this moment.
00:27:29This is the first time I light eyes on you.
00:27:31No, you don't have to dream.
00:28:00I'm in the car.
00:28:01I'm in the car.
00:28:08Are you sure?
00:28:27I just slept with an accused felon.
00:28:30I'm in the car.
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.
00:29:04What'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 in the heat of the moment.
00:29:46I 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.
00:30:45Cassie, 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.
00:31:17But I think I 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.
00:31:34I 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.
00:31:44Got a little personal advice?
00:31:48I'd invest in some personal protection.
00:32:00Cassie, oh my god.
00:32:03Oh, you poor.
00:32:05Poor 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, yeah, 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, 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.
00:33:04It 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's here.
00:33:54Well, the PD's office doesn't like to waste taxpayer dollars.
00:33:58Daddy were 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.
00:34:15This means war.
00:34:18Horse-sized duck?
00:34:19Or one hundred 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.
00:34:48We 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,
00:35:22but 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?
00:35:51What'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.
00:37:23Come on.
00:37:24Think.
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.
00:37:54It's lethal injection, not...
00:37:58I'm sorry.
00:37:58I'm not helping.
00:38:00Um...
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 is just going to half-ass it until the jury seals my fate.
00:38:18He'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.
00:38:34But I want Lucas as much as he wants me.
00:38:37I can't deny it anymore.
00:38:38I can't deny it anymore.
00:38:49Sorry.
00:38:51I'm...
00:38:51Um...
00:38:52Don't be.
00:38:55This is a huge risk for both of us.
00:38:58If 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.
00:39:16Could things between Lucas and me actually get serious?
00:39:29After they sentence me...
00:39:30I might not ever see Cassie again.
00:39:33Tomorrow's another day.
00:39:34We could still turn this trial around.
00:39:36Yeah.
00:39:38Yeah, we're in this together.
00:39:40And 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.
00:40:06Because it's the last time you're going to see your lawyer alive.
00:40:09I don't think so.
00:40:29Do you have a good night.
00:40:33I don't know what you're going to say.
00:40:36a date for the wedding i meant to tell you you've just had your hands full with that client of
00:40:41yours
00:40:42i just don't want to send an innocent man to his death so yeah i've been a little preoccupied
00:40:48seems like henninger's been getting a lot of your attention huh
00:40:57what she couldn't possibly know about me and lucas yeah because i actually care about my
00:41:01clients rookie mistake it's a bad idea getting too emotionally invested in any of these cases
00:41:16where do you think you're going just a little trip south of the border
00:41:22yeah yeah so you can play that game
00:41:28hey easy guard it's okay don't worry i paid him off to look the other way
