00:00:05I'm his lawyer. If I do this, I lose everything.
00:00:16We can't do this here.
00:00:19Yeah.
00:00:21Sometimes being bad, it's a little more fun.
00:00:39I gotta say, seeing you all tied up, it really did something to me.
00:00:49Yeah.
00:01:05No, there's no stopping me.
00:01:07No, don't stop.
00:01:36No, there's no stopping me.
00:01:39No, there's no stopping me.
00:01:50Well, damn.
00:01:53You're my lawyer.
00:01:54Mr. 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.
00:02:08What's the matter?
00:02:10We're going to win this thing.
00:02:12I can feel it.
00:02:12Public 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.
00:02:19Oh.
00:02:21So you took this just because you're sweet on me?
00:02:23No, they gave me the case because I'm the newest.
00:02:26Hmm.
00:02:28So you don't feel this between you and me?
00:02:31Look, I've got a job to do, and you can either work with me or without me.
00:02:35The judge is offering you a plea deal, and we're taking it.
00:02:39No way.
00:02:41All rise.
00:02:42The 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 waive 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?
00:03:09Then, in the case of a conviction, we must consider the death penalty.
00:03:14What?
00:03:15Death penalty?
00:03:17Wait, wait, wait.
00:03:18Hold on a second.
00:03:19Mr. Eninger is to be held in the Franklin County Corrections Center until these proceedings begin.
00:03:29Look, I set the rules here, okay?
00:03:32So pull something like that again, and this is over.
00:03:35Understood.
00:03:36I can't die an innocent man.
00:03:39You have to promise me that I'm going to walk out of here a free man.
00:03:44Good lawyers don't make promises.
00:03:47But I'll try.
00:03:51Okay.
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.
00:04:07I heard you were going to trial.
00:04:10Look, it wasn't my idea.
00:04:11Oh, I know.
00:04:12You always like complicated cases.
00:04:16And complicated men.
00:04:19Did you come to school me?
00:04:21No, I came to see you screw up.
00:04:23And I'm not going to lie, it's kind of arousing.
00:04:30Oh, wow.
00:04:32Your client has eyes on you like a hawk.
00:04:37Can you stop causing trouble?
00:04:39No, I'm just saying.
00:04:40He's like obsessed with you.
00:04:42That's funny.
00:04:43I was going to say the same thing about you.
00:04:45Enough.
00:04:47Say that to me later.
00:04:49When we're alone.
00:04:50Ooh, cute fantasy.
00:04:52Too bad you're cuffed up and 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?
00:05:06Careful 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.
00:05:32Fuck.
00:05:36This is the biggest trial of my career.
00:05:38And I'm going against my ex-boyfriend, of all people.
00:05:45You're handling the Henninger trial?
00:05:48I heard the DA is trying to make an example of him.
00:05:50Yep.
00:05:51Just my luck.
00:05:53We're ready for all that press.
00:05:56If I stay on the case.
00:05:58You're already trying to dump your clients?
00:06:00No one's going to take him seriously.
00:06:02Lucas Henninger is a wild guard.
00:06:05He'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.
00:06:28Now I've got to save Lucas.
00:06:30And perhaps risk everything to prove his innocence.
00:06:37Lucas, we need to talk.
00:06:39Cassie.
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.
00:07:02You shouldn't let people treat you like that.
00:07:09Lucas, I'm sorry.
00:07:12Lucas, 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.
00:07:46Mr. 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.
00:08:00And dated for a bit.
00:08:02Huh?
00:08:04An ex, huh?
00:08:06Never do that again.
00:08:07Understood?
00:08:09Yes, ma'am.
00:08:12You're shaking.
00:08:13Am I making you uncomfortable?
00:08:15I'm fine.
00:08:18You're not a very good liar.
00:08:20Let's focus.
00:08:21I need you to tell me every detail of that night.
00:08:24Okay.
00:08:25We had a real nice thing going for a couple of years in the hospitality business.
00:08:30Till my business partner screwed me over.
00:08:33Earl.
00:08:34Earl Tynes.
00:08:35He'd been doing dirty business in the back.
00:08:38Drugs.
00:08:39Middleman type stuff.
00:08:41Till they had a deal go sour.
00:08:43Earl decided to shoot the dealer with my pistol.
00:08:45Earl?
00:08:46Earl?
00:08:48Earl?
00:08:50Earl?
00:08:52Earl?
00:08:53Earl?
00:08:53The burden of proof is on the prosecution.
00:08:56The court considers you innocent until then.
00:08:58Yeah, but the jury won't.
00:08:59I've seen the news.
00:09:01Everyone out there thinks I'm guilty.
00:09:03I don't.
00:09:05And if we can prove you're innocent with no evidence,
00:09:10I know we could set you free.
00:09:18I want her so much.
00:09:19And I will get it at any cost.
00:09:21There's something about him.
00:09:24Stop.
00:09:25He'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?
00:10:11So you can get back at him.
00:10:14Don't be ridiculous.
00:10:17Let's focus.
00:10:18We need to talk strategy.
00:10:20Why do you listen?
00:10:21If you ever need someone to take care of them...
00:10:25You 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.
00:10:49Like...
00:10:50Like...
00:10:51This.
00:10:54Listen.
00:10:55You deserve better.
00:10:57That's all I'm saying.
00:10:59A gentleman...
00:11:00Will 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.
00:11:27I'm scared of this.
00:11:30I'm scared of this.
00:11:44This is a joke.
00:11:46You're right.
00:11:47I'm scared of this.
00:11:48You're right.
00:11:49You're gonna want to sit down for this
00:12:00Wait, the guards? I'm gonna see anything
00:12:07I paid them off
00:12:10Thought we could use a little privacy. Oh, yeah trying to see for what
00:12:19So we can get to know each other a little better
00:12:25This is definitely a home inside of you I'm seeing
00:12:29But first, I'm gonna need to give you a little pat down
00:12:34Make sure you're not carrying anything
00:12:42Dangerous
00:12:54Find anything
00:12:56I think I gotta do another sweep
00:12:58I don't know
00:12:59I don't know
00:13:04I don't know
00:13:06I don't know
00:13:15I don't know
00:13:17I don't know
00:13:18I don't know
00:13:19I don't know
00:13:21What's next?
00:13:23Don't you worry
00:13:26You're a good answer
00:13:45But wait
00:13:47You've been bad, haven't you?
00:13:49Yes, ma'am
00:13:51I don't want to be punished
00:13:57I must be dreaming if I think there's any chance my lawyer's gonna fall for me
00:14:01But that doesn't mean I can't hope for it anyway
00:14:11Thank you
00:14:12Thank you
00:14:14You feeling okay?
00:14:17I know it was just a dream
00:14:19But I can't stop thinking about her
00:14:22Yeah, I just didn't sleep well
00:14:27Well, whatever you do
00:14:28Well, whatever you do
00:14:28Don't talk
00:14:31That's a tall order
00:14:33I think I can allow it
00:14:36Pre-trial is all about strategy
00:14:39Whoops
00:14:43Get these off
00:14:44Do those look familiar?
00:14:46I'm pretty sure those are the ones we used to use in the bedroom
00:14:49It was your favorite if you 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, there 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?
00:15:15Damn 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
00:15:40Whatever you do, keep your hand close to mine
00:15:43Well, yes, ma'am
00:15:47Counsel
00:15:49Please state your appearances
00:15:51Good morning, Your Honor
00:15:52This is Julian Reed for the people
00:15:55Um, yes, good morning, Your Honor
00:15:56Cassie Burns on behalf of Mr. Henninger
00:15:59Seated beside me
00:16:01Good morning, Your Honor
00:16:04Ms. Burns
00:16:05Approach 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?
00:16:24Ms. 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?
00:16:34Oh, this is gonna be fun
00:16:43Oh, sweetie
00:16:45I heard
00:16:47Great
00:16:48The entire LA legal community knows I showed up to the trial in handcuffs
00:16:52Should we call up the Bar Association next?
00:16:54Take this as a lesson
00:16:56Always 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, it'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?
00:17:25Henniger
00:17:26You have a visitor
00:17:40Hi, baby
00:17:42Long time no see
00:17:47Miss 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
00:17:58Whatever her name is
00:17:58You 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
00:18:23It's just business, baby
00:18:35Hello?
00:18:37Is anyone still here?
00:19:04I have to find out who sent this
00:19:07Before they find me
00:19:08I have to find out who sent this
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
00:19:18And dismiss that plea deal
00:19:20You signed your own death warrant
00:19:23And possibly mine
00:19:28Okay
00:19:30I'll do whatever you want me to
00:19:32Okay
00:19:43I'll do whatever you want me to
00:19:47I don't know
00:19:48Don'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
00:20:04It's all an act
00:20:06It's not an act
00:20:07She'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 to get in contact, dude?
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
00:20:38You'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?
00:21:08Unless
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
00:21:45What?
00:21:47Bitch!
00:21:54Cassie?
00:21:56Are you okay?
00:21:57What happened?
00:21:59Fine
00:21:59Hey!
00:22:01Keep your distance here, nigger
00:22:07Listen, I went to the motel last night
00:22:09And, 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
00:22:18Well, they figured out why the prosecution hasn't subpoenaed the tapes
00:22:22There'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
00:22:31They're 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 sent you that letter
00:22:45Who?
00:22:48Natalie
00:22:49My ex-girlfriend
00:22:51Hey Dom, why 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?
00:23:06You 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
00:23:38She was just taunting me, trying to get in my head
00:23:41I should've told you
00:23:43She knows what happened?
00:23:45Yeah, and she's helping that bastard get away with it
00:23:49They had together soon after we split
00:23:51We could track her down, talk some sense into her
00:23:53Hm, no
00:23:55They 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
00:24:09Wait...
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
00:24:24Didn't quite enjoy imagining that
00:24:27It was just a one time thing
00:24:29I swear
00:24:31I wouldn't
00:24:32Usually
00:24:33Fuck 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
00:24:44No chance on hell
00:24:45If she did, Earl would find out that she cheated on him
00:24:48With me
00:24:49It's your life on the line, Lucas
00:24:51Yeah, hers too
00:24:52He'd kill her if he found out
00:24:56Okay
00:24:58Then if you want the jury to believe your story, you're gonna have to straighten up your act
00:25:02No more outbursts, no more fighting in court
00:25:06Be a gentleman
00:25:09What about that prick ex-boyfriend?
00:25:10I'm...
00:25:13I'm just falling
00:25:28Attention all staff
00:25:31Code red
00:25:33All units, a disturbance has been reported
00:25:36Initiate lockdown procedure
00:25:44Oh shit, I'm trapped
00:25:45What do we do?
00:25:47Grab his piece
00:25:53Cassie, come with me
00:25:54Where are we going?
00:25:55Stop what?
00:26:04Are you sure this was a good idea?
00:26:07Solitary is the last place anyone wants to be
00:26:10They're not gonna 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...
00:26:22Now I'm locked up in here with you
00:26:26Well, you're safer in here than out there
00:26:30Thank you
00:26:31For 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
00:26:40It's nice to know someone actually cares
00:26:46Hey
00:26:48I got you
00:26:50I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, Cassie
00:26:52I promise
00:26:58It feels really good
00:27:01Having in my arms
00:27:04Yeah
00:27:06It does
00:27:28The journey of this moment is the first time I light eyes on you
00:27:31No, you don't have to dream
00:27:44I'm gonna go
00:27:45Go
00:28:00Come on.
00:28:02I 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?
00:29:06We'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.
00:29:19Including me.
00:29:24It has to be our little secret.
00:29:30Sorry I'm late.
00:29:32You scared me there for a minute.
00:29:35My nutshell.
00:29:37Um, well.
00:29:40About 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.
00:29:54No, 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?
00:30:01And 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.
00:30:11I couldn't be your lawyer anymore.
00:30:13I know.
00:30:33This stays between us.
00:30:40If anyone found out I've been hooking up with a client, I'd be fired.
00:30:45Kelsey.
00:30:46I need to see you in my office.
00:30:47Now.
00:30:52We 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.
00:31:04Yes, 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...
00:31:18Henninger 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.
00:31:26I know.
00:31:27And it shows.
00:31:28But look.
00:31:29If you need to come off this case, no one's gonna think less of you for it.
00:31:33I know 20-year veterans who wouldn't touch a case like this.
00:31:37Or would consider him a dead man walking.
00:31:39No, I'm not gonna 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?
00:32:09How 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.
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.
00:32:36I'm still representing him.
00:32:38You're what?
00:32:41Cassie, baby.
00:32:43He'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.
00:33:03He was a lucky guy.
00:33:05I think she's referring to me.
00:33:14Well, I mean, congratulations.
00:33:18You two are perfect for each other.
00:33:21Well, thanks for being so mature about it, Cassie.
00:33:24We thought you'd be really torn up.
00:33:26I could kill him right now.
00:33:28Yeah, you're a total girl's girl.
00:33:30I just hope you're not spying on me for the case.
00:33:36I can win on my own merit.
00:33:39I don't need Emily gathering intel for me.
00:33:42He wins all of his cases.
00:33:45The 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?
00:34:25Hey.
00:34:26Doing okay?
00:34:29He'll be alright.
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? Your 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, but
00:35:23also 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?
00:35:52Am I starting to fall for him?
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.
00:36:31For 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 9am.
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 gonna die.
00:37:22Come on.
00:37:23Think.
00:37:26We need to talk.
00:37:38You're gonna 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 gonna send me straight to the electric jet.
00:37:53It's lethal injection, not...
00:37:57I'm sorry, I'm not helping.
00:38:00Um...
00:38:01Let's not spiral, okay?
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's just gonna 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.
00:38:36I can't deny it anymore.
00:38:50Sorry, I'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, and I mean no one, could 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.
00:39:33Tomorrow's another day.
00:39:34We could still turn this trial around.
00:39:36Yeah.
00:39:38Yeah, we're in this together.
00:39:39And I can't imagine my life without her.
00:39:44No comment, please.
00:39:45Oh, but I have a comment.
00:39:49That's enough, Natalie.
00:39:50Stop fighting it.
00:39:51You're gonna lose.
00:39:53You 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, so...
00:40:46Yeah, I've been a little preoccupied.
00:40:48Seems like Henninger's been getting a lot of your attention, huh?
00:40:56What?
00:40:57She couldn't possibly know about me and Lucas.
00:40:59Yeah, because I actually care about my clients.
00:41:02Rookie mistake.
00:41:04It's a bad idea getting too emotionally invested in any of these cases.
00:41:16Where do you think you're going?
00:41:18Just a little trip south of the border.
00:41:21Yeah?
00:41:22Yeah.
00:41:24So you can play that game.
00:41:28Hey, easy.
00:41:29Guard.
00:41:31It's okay.
00:41:31Don't worry, I 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.
00:41:48Hmm.
00:41:55You know I want you.
00:41:57But I feel like I can't really, truly have you until I'm a free man.
00:42:16Hmm.
00:42:19She's fraternizing with her clients.
00:42:22You're kidding.
00:42:23It's all of myself.
00:42:26Getting all cozy in the holding cell.
00:42:29That sounds just like Cassie.
00:42:32Throwing herself at any man with a pulse.
00:42:34Doesn't that include you?
00:42:36If we can prove this, then we can get this whole trial thrown out.
00:42:40And Cassie Burns will never practice law ever again.
00:42:47I am marrying someone so brilliant and hot.
00:42:53Hmm.
00:42:56I 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.
00:43:16My celly, Victor?
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 you 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.

00:50:02Hey, stop right there
00:50:04Let's just talk about this
00:50:06Please, Mr. Henninger, turn yourself in
00:50:08You guys think you can take me?
00:50:10I'd like to see you try
00:50:12I just want to see everybody get out of here in one piece
00:50:14Key evidence was missing
00:50:16He just wanted to ensure he could find it
00:50:17It was a matter of life and death
00:50:20I'd sure you guys would love to see me on the chopping block
00:50:22Please, Lucas, don't do this
00:50:28I'm you
00:50:30And only you
00:51:04Son of a bitch
00:51:06There it is
00:51:06The truth of the night
00:51:08In black and white
00:51:10It was a cover-up
00:51:11They blamed Lucas
00:51:12Knowing the police wouldn't look into it that much
00:51:15Knowing the LAPD, I'm not surprised
00:51:17This is the smoking gun we needed
00:51:20We can win this case for Lucas
00:51:21Only if you're quick enough to enter it into evidence
00:51:29You fucking snitch
00:51:35What?
00:51:36I don't know what you're talking about
00:51:38I saw that pretty little lady lawyer of yours
00:51:42You getting some of that?
00:51:45You have no idea what you're saying
00:51:46Oh, maybe I should get a piece of that, huh?
00:51:49Shut your mouth, Victor
00:51:51Don't talk about a woman like that
00:51:52Woman stuck a bitch is more like it
00:51:55I heard you two got in a conjugal during the riot
00:52:00That's not what happened
00:52:01Then why the fuck are you telling the guards I started that shit?
00:52:06Hell
00:52:06You should be thanking me
00:52:12Either you keep your mouth shut
00:52:14Or I cut that snitch tongue of yours out
00:52:18You know what, asshole?
00:52:20Why don't you shut it for me?
00:52:46I 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
00:53:19I 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
00:53:27He was supposed to stay out of trouble
00:53:30Yeah, well
00:53:31You know me
00:53:32Trouble follows
00:53:33You're not going to be fit to stand trial
00:53:35This could tank the case
00:53:37Not 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
00:53:54I'm going to make sure of that
00:53:58And remind us
00:53:59How 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
00:54:06Judge Griffin
00:54:07I'm sorry, Ms. Burns
00:54:10We have no record of this alleged tape
00:54:13What?
00:54:14But that's impossible
00:54:19No further questions
00:54:20Thank you, Ms. Burns
00:54:23Now that the witness testimony has concluded
00:54:26The jury will retire to the jury room for final deliberations
00:54:32In a matter of hours, my fate will be sealed
00:54:35And I might not ever see Cassie again
00:54:37If I can't win this case for Lucas
00:54:40They'll be sentencing an innocent man to death
00:54:51I know you're screwing him
00:54:52What?
00:54:54No
00:54:55Plain dumb
00:54:57Well, you certainly have a lot of experience doing that
00:54:59I'm tired of your constant sabotaging
00:55:01Mr. Henninger and I have remained completely professional
00:55:05Then why?
00:55:06Did I see the two of you making out in the holding cell?
00:55:10She's bluffing
00:55:11She has to be
00:55:12But what if she saw us?
00:55:15We're in court
00:55:16Your statements are nothing without proof
00:55:19Don't worry
00:55:20I've got some
00:55:28Emily, please don't do this
00:55:32Oh, look
00:55:34Just the person I wanted to talk to
00:55:36And who are you?
00:55:38Emily Dibbons
00:55:39Public defender
00:55:44You're so lucky to have Cassie as your lawyer
00:55:46Isn't she so attentive?
00:55:49And personal
00:55:51Yeah, she's real professional
00:55:53Emily was just leaving
00:55:55Right
00:55:57Off to the judge
00:55:59Good luck, you two
00:56:10Judge Griffith
00:56:12Can I help you?
00:56:15About Miss Burns
00:56:17There's something you should know
00:56:24What are you doing out here?
00:56:26Bathroom break
00:56:28Lucas, she knows
00:56:30She 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
00:56:38What makes you think they're going to believe her?
00:56:47It was on my phone
00:56:48It's just right here
00:56:50Hey
00:56:51I got it under control
00:56:52Don't worry
00:56:53What are you talking about?
00:56:55The 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
00:57:07I took the liberty of securing the evidence
00:57:10Lucas
00:57:10What?
00:57:12Just take a little trip to the men's restaurant
00:57:15Then we'll be halfway through the sewer by the time she finds out
00:57:18Lucas just saved my career
00:57:25What 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?
00:57:34This criminal stole my phone
00:57:37Are you accusing my client of theft?
00:57:39No
00:57:40I'm accusing both of you
00:57:42I know you have it
00:57:45Hey
00:57:46Ma'am
00:57:47You must leave
00:57:48Now
00:57:52Hello
00:57:53Do something
00:57:57Go
00:57:59You're not getting away with this
00:58:01Go
00:58:07You shouldn't have done that
00:58:08What else was I supposed to do?
00:58:10I had no other choice
00:58:10They want to paint you as a criminal
00:58:12We can't give them any more ammunition
00:58:13She was going to ruin this case for us
00:58:17Now life's over
00:58:18No, it's not
00:58:26But we have to be ready for their verdict
00:58:29No matter what
00:58:32Look, Cassie
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 that I was innocent ever since the get-go
00:58:49You've always believed in me
00:58:50Because 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
00:59:05You 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
00:59:15That much I know
00:59:17Is this really more than just a fling?
00:59:33Tomorrow I'm a free man
00:59:37When I think about my future
00:59:40I see you in it
00:59:43I do too, Lucas
00:59:49Cassie
00:59:51I love you
01:00:01This could be the last time I ever see Lucas again
01:00:04We both know this has been more than just a fling
01:00:07I feel it too
01:00:08But
01:00:10Members of the jury
01:00:11Have you reached a unanimous verdict?
01:00:14We have, Your Honor
01:00:25In the case of Lucas Henninger versus the People
01:00:29The jury finds the defendant
01:00:33Please, please, let him be innocent
01:00:35Let Lucas live
01:00:38Guilty
01:00:41For the offense of murder in the first degree
01:00:44The court imposes a sentence of death by lethal injection
01:00:52I can't believe we lost
01:00:54Lucas will die in prison
01:00:56And it's all my fault
01:00:59Lucas, I'm so sorry
01:01:01You did the best you could, Cassie
01:01:03But I wasn't good enough
01:01:05Hey, um
01:01:06Good game, by the way
01:01:07Fuck you, Julian
01:01:10I'll be sending you an invoice for that
01:01:11Cell phone stunt, by the way
01:01:16I'm sorry if we just had gotten to the tape
01:01:19I'm glad about the way things turned out
01:01:22I got to experience real love
01:01:24For the first time in my life
01:01:28Yeah, I did too
01:01:30Henninger
01:01:32It's time
01:01:41Hope you enjoyed your little affair with your felon boyfriend
01:01:45Probably 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
01:02:02It might be the last one you ever have in this office
01:02:06I don't know what happened to the tapes we submitted into evidence
01:02:09I mean, if we had just
01:02:10Cassie, stop
01:02:11When you started here, I wasn't sure you had what it takes
01:02:15But after this trial, now more than ever
01:02:20The cameras
01:02:21Oh, no
01:02:22Does Ronnie Russell know about me and Lucas?
01:02:25I'm calling a mistrial
01:02:27What?
01:02:29Why? Did I do something wrong?
01:02:31Not you
01:02:31The prosecution
01:02:34Apparently, their attorney decided it was a good idea to prevent you from entering the tape into evidence
01:02:39He used water to erase the information on the tape
01:02:50The digital forensic team at the precinct was able to recover your footage
01:02:54Your smoking gun
01:02:55I can't believe it
01:02:57Your client deserves another chance
01:02:59But we have to move quickly
01:03:01The penitentiary has already scheduled Mr. Henninger's execution
01:03:05Any final words?
01:03:07Yes
01:03:09He's innocent
01:03:11Cassie
01:03:12The judge has stayed the execution
01:03:14They're declaring a mistrial
01:03:17Lucas Henninger deserves to live
01:03:20All right
01:03:22We gotta shut this down until the courts can get their shit together
01:03:30Thank God you're okay
01:03:33Cassie
01:03:35She saved my life
01:03:36The DEA tracked down Natalie and Earl
01:03:38They're rating them as we speak
01:03:41Good
01:03:42They deserve what they got coming to them
01:03:46Let's get you out of these restraints
01:03:48No, wait
01:03:50It's been too long since we've been alone together
01:04:18Let's get you out of here
01:04:30Disbarred?
01:04:31That's what they told me
01:04:32Do you have any integrity?
01:04:34I can get another license
01:04:37You're no better than Cassie
01:04:38But please don't be like this
01:04:40You were in line to be DA, Julian
01:04:44If I can't marry a lawyer, then what is the point?
01:04:47Maybe we can get through this
01:04:50I'm keeping the ring
01:04:53Consider it billable hours
01:04:56Baby
01:04:58Ow
01:04:58What are you looking at?
01:05:06Wow
01:05:07You look
01:05:09Damn fine
01:05:11Cassie, I'm free
01:05:13Let me tell you something
01:05:14Feels great
01:05:18First day of freedom
01:05:19Yeah
01:05:20I'm just grateful for another day above ground
01:05:23And I want to spend it with you
01:05:24The 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
01:05:34I wanted to talk to you
01:05:37With the retrial coming up and everything
01:05:40Cassie
01:05:42You'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
01:05:53Thank you
01:05:53Thank you for believing in yourself
01:05:56Well, you know
01:05:57Honestly, I'm just excited to get to do normal stuff with you now
01:06:00In the outside world
01:06:01Before anything
01:06:02I think we need to figure something out
01:06:05Yeah?
01:06:06What's that?
01:06:08Am I going to be your lawyer?
01:06:10Or your girlfriend?
01:06:20I know it's not much
01:06:21But
01:06:23I made this for you
01:06:24On the first day we met
01:06:27Lucas, I don't know what to say
01:06:30Cassie
01:06:30I 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
01:06:40I want to speak my truth
01:06:45Lucas
01:06:47Cassie
01:06:47I'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
01:07:00Will you marry me?
01:07:02Yes
01:07:03Yes, I do
01:07:05I don't know
01:07:05I don't know
01:07:06I don't know
01:07:08I don't know
01:07:08I don't know
01:07:09I don't know
01:07:09I don't know
01:07:09I don't know
01:07:10I don't know
01:07:11I don't know
01:07:13I don't know
01:07:15I don't know
01:07:16You
