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, stop.
00:01:37No, there's no stopping me.
00:01:50Well, Dan, you'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.
00:02:19Uh-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.
00:02:28So, 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, the Honorable Judge Ruth Griffin presiding.
00:02:45Calling to the matter of the People v. Henninger.
00:02:48Counselor, how do you state your appearances for the record?
00:02:51Your Honor, Cassie Burns, on behalf of Mr. Henninger, who's seated beside me.
00:02:56We waive formal reading.
00:02:58And 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. Henninger 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.
00:03:50Okay.
00:03:59Julian, 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.
00:04:15And 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.
00:04:30Oh, wow.
00:04:32Your client has eyes on you like a hawk.
00:04:37Can you stop causing trouble?
00:04:39I'm just saying.
00:04:39I mean, he'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.
00:04:49One more 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.
00:04:56Or 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.
00:05:08He'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.
00:05:29Hey, I'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?
00:05:47I heard the DA is trying to make an example of him.
00:05:50Yeah.
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.
00:06:04He's cocky and a huge flirt.
00:06:06Who you think he's flirting with?
00:06:08You.
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.
00:07:09I'm sorry.
00:07:12Lucas, we can't.
00:07:15I can't help myself.
00:07:19It's just...
00:07:20Every time I'm near you, I just want to touch you.
00:07:24I'm your lawyer, Lucas.
00:07:26Then let me help you in this case.
00:07:28I'll tell you everything.
00:07:31But first...
00:07:35I need to know 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.
00:08:00And 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?
00:08:50So your prints were everywhere.
00:08:52Bingo.
00:08:53The burden of proof is on the prosecution.
00:08:56The court considers you innocent until then.
00:08:58Yeah, but the jury won't.
00:08:59I've seen the news.
00:09:01Everyone out there thinks I'm guilty.
00:09:03I don't.
00:09:05And if we can prove you're innocent with no evidence,
00:09:09I know we could set you free.
00:09:17God, I want her so much.
00:09:19And I will get it at any cost.
00:09:21There's something about him.
00:09:24Stop.
00:09:25He's my client.
00:09:26It's not right.
00:09:27I'm real lucky to have you.
00:09:31Of course, I had to appoint my ex as the opposing counsel.
00:09:34How did you end up with that prick anyway?
00:09:39Julian always said we are in it together.
00:09:41But it was all a lie for him to get ahead.
00:09:50Do you mind if I take a look at those notes?
00:09:52What 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, 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.
00:10:51Like this.
00:10:54Listen.
00:10:55You deserve better.
00:10:56That's all I'm saying.
00:10:58A 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 birth and Julian.
00:11:18But let's focus.
00:11:27Hittiger.
00:11:28Someone is here to see you.
00:11:41Wow.
00:11:44What's the occasion?
00:11:46You'll see.
00:11:49You're going to want to sit down for this.
00:12:00Wait.
00:12:01The guards.
00:12:01Aren't going to see anything.
00:12:07I paid them off.
00:12:10Thought we could use a little privacy.
00:12:13Oh yeah?
00:12:14Privacy 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.
00:12:29But first, I'm going to need to give you a little pat down.
00:12:34Make sure you're not carrying anything.
00:12:42Dangerous.
00:12:55I didn't.
00:12:57I think I got to do another sweep.
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.
00:13:51And 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.
00:14:01But that doesn't mean I can't hope for it anyway.
00:14:14You feeling okay?
00:14:17I know it was just a dream, 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.
00:14:31That's a tall order.
00:14:33I think I can't.
00:14:34I think I can't.
00:14:34I think I can allow it.
00:14:36Pre-trial is all about strategy.
00:14:39Whoops.
00:14:43Get these off.
00:14:44Do those look familiar?
00:14:46I'm pretty sure those are the ones we used to use in the bedroom.
00:14:49It was your favorite if you asked me.
00:14:51Hey, relax, okay?
00:14:53It'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.
00:15:07You're just lucky it's my strong arm you got cuffed.
00:15:09That's all I'm saying.
00:15:11Where are the keys?
00:15:15Damn 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.
00:15:52This is Julian Reed for the people.
00:15:55Um, yes, good morning, Your Honor.
00:15:57Cassie Burns on behalf of Mr. Henninger.
00:15:59Seated 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.
00:16:13Go ahead.
00:16:19What?
00:16:20What on ever is going on here?
00:16:24Miss Burns?
00:16:25Why are you handcuffed to your client?
00:16:29Never mind, never mind.
00:16:30Bailiff?
00:16:31Will you please disengage these two?
00:16:34Oh, this is going to be fine.
00:16:43Oh, sweetie.
00:16:45I heard.
00:16:47Great.
00:16:48Now, the entire L.A. legal community knows I showed up to the trial in handcuffs.
00:16:52Should 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.
00:17:11It's hard for women to get ahead in this field.
00:17:14We have to support one another.
00:17:16Emily would like nothing more than to see me fail.
00:17:19But could she be right about Lucas?
00:17:21Is he completely playing me?
00:17:25Henniger, you have a visitor.
00:17:40Hi, baby.
00:17:43Long time no see.
00:17:46Miss me?
00:17:47What the hell are you doing here?
00:17:49Victory lap before they put you away, honey.
00:17:53Considering they stuck you with that bimbo of a lawyer.
00:17:56Cassie.
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.
00:18:12She'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.
00:18:35Hello?
00:18:37Is anyone still here?
00:18:39Hello?
00:18:43Hello?
00:18:51Is anyone still here?
00:19:04I have to find out who sent this before they find me.
00:19:10Did you know I got a death threat at my office?
00:19:13Sticking my neck out for you, Lucas.
00:19:16Just so you know, when you decide to not take my advice and dismiss that plea deal, you signed your
00:19:21own death warrant.
00:19:23And possibly mine.
00:19:28Okay.
00:19:31I'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?
00:19:47I 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, it's all an act.
00:20:06It's not an act.
00:20:07She's a plan, 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?
00:20:21Nope.
00:20:22Not when you got nothing to lose.
00:20:25If they find out your plan, I'm screwed over, too.
00:20:29Then they better not find out.
00:20:34You better not be the one who opens his mouth, because if you fucked this up for me, you're a
00:20:39dead man.
00:20:52The death threat was addressed from the Econolodge.
00:20:55Whoever sent it must be familiar with the case.
00:21:01Why wouldn't the police want this footage?
00:21:04If Lucas was guilty, wouldn't it only support their case?
00:21:10Unless...
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.
00:21:54Cassie?
00:21:56Are you okay?
00:21:57What 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.
00:22:18Well, they figured out why the prosecution hasn't subpoenaed the tapes.
00:22:22There's nothing on them.
00:22:25Sorry, Lucas.
00:22:26Someone clearly tampered with them.
00:22:28It's just a video of Static when the crime took place.
00:22:31I'm definitely gonna pin it on me now.
00:22:34See, I was trying to cover my tracks.
00:22:37We'll figure out another way.
00:22:42I think I know who's thinking that letter.
00:22:45Who?
00:22:48Natalie.
00:22:49My ex-girlfriend.
00:22:51Hey, Dom.
00:22:52Why don't you, uh, go grab yourself a cup of coffee.
00:22:55Just take ten.
00:22:57Okay.
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.
00:23:36Natalie came here the other day.
00:23:38She was just taunting me, trying to get in my head.
00:23:41I should have told you.
00:23:43She knows what happened?
00:23:44Yeah.
00:23:45And 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.
00:23:54Hmm.
00:23:54No.
00:23:55They 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 Roe 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, I swear.
00:24:30I wouldn't usually fuck my friend's girl.
00:24:37Even if she was mine first.
00:24:40I'm guessing Natalie won't agree to take the stand for you.
00:24:44No chance at all.
00:24:45If she did, Roe 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.
00:24:52He'd kill her if he found out.
00:24:56Okay.
00:24:58Then if you want the jury to believe your story, you're going to have to straighten up your act.
00:25:02No more outbursts.
00:25:03No more fighting in court.
00:25:06Be a gentleman.
00:25:09What about that prick ex-boyfriend?
00:25:13I'm just fooling.
00:25:32All units, a disturbance has been reported.
00:25:36Initiate lockdown procedure.
00:25:44Shit, I'm trapped.
00:25:45What are we doing?
00:25:47Grab his piece.
00:25:53Cassie, come with me.
00:25:54Where are we going?
00:25:55Stop watching.
00:25:56Watch.
00:26:05Are you sure this was a good idea?
00:26:07Solitary is the last place anyone wants to be.
00:26:10They're not going to find us here.
00:26:13It's funny how things work out.
00:26:16What do you mean?
00:26:18I mean, I want you to win this case so bad, and now I'm locked up in here with you.
00:26:26Well, you're safer in here than out there.
00:26:30Thank you for keeping me safe.
00:26:33I think I should be the one that's saying thank you.
00:26:36You've always believed in me, Cassie.
00:26:39It's nice to know someone actually cares.
00:26:46Hey.
00:26:47I got you.
00:26:50I'm not going to let anything happen to you, Cassie.
00:26:52Promise.
00:26:56I promise.
00:26:58It feels really good.
00:27:01Having you in my arms.
00:27:04Yeah.
00:27:06It does.
00:27:27I'm sure you have this moment.
00:27:29This is the first time I light eyes on you.
00:27:31No, you don't have to dream.
00:27:34I'm not going to let anything happen.
00:27:37I'm not going to let anything happen to you.
00:28:00I'm not going to let anything happen.
00:28:02I'm here.
00:28:08Are 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. We got caught in the lockdown.
00:28:51Come with me.
00:28:58Did he hurt you, ma'am?
00:29:00No, actually, he saved me.
00:29:02Let's get you out of here.
00:29:03What's going to happen to Luke, my client?
00:29:06We'll determine the necessary disciplinary actions once this riot mess is sorted out.
00:29:10But he did nothing wrong.
00:29:12Ma'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're scaring me there for a minute.
00:29:35It might not show.
00:29:37Um, well, about yesterday.
00:29:42I know things got crazy in the heat of the moment.
00:29:45And I just...
00:29:46Just let yourself feel.
00:29:50We can't, Lucas.
00:29:53It was a mistake.
00:29:54No, it wasn't a mistake.
00:29:56Not to me.
00:29:57It's okay to feel.
00:29:59I mean, we're human after all, right?
00:30:01And I know I feel something with you.
00:30:04Lawyer or not.
00:30:06It feels real.
00:30:08If anyone found out, I'd have to recuse myself.
00:30:10I couldn't be your lawyer anymore.
00:30:14I know.
00:30:33This stays between us.
00:30:40If anyone found out I've been hooking up with a client,
00:30:43I'd be fired.
00:30:45Cassie, I need to see you in my office.
00:30:47Now.
00:30:52We all heard about what happened at Franklin Penitentiary.
00:30:56There's no way they know what happened between me and Lucas.
00:31:03Yes, and I know I shouldn't...
00:31:05First things first.
00:31:07Are you doing okay?
00:31:09Getting locked up in solitary confinement with a dangerous client
00:31:12must have been scary for you.
00:31:14Um, yeah, it was, but Eninger was a gentleman.
00:31:19It's more than I could have handled as a rookie attorney,
00:31:21I'll tell you that much.
00:31:24I'm trying.
00:31:26I know.
00:31:27And it shows.
00:31:28But look, if you need to come off this case,
00:31:31no one's going to think less of you for it.
00:31:33I know 20-year veterans who wouldn't touch a case like this
00:31:36or would consider him a dead man walking.
00:31:39No, I'm not going to give up on him.
00:31:42Suit yourself.
00:31:44Got a little personal advice?
00:31:47I'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?
00:32:09How traumatizing.
00:32:12I wasn't in any danger with him.
00:32:14Oh, if you ever need a shrink.
00:32:18He is the best.
00:32:21He totally got me through my first divorce talk about trauma.
00:32:24Can we table this?
00:32:25I have a lot of emails to answer.
00:32:27Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:32:29I'm just so glad that you're coming off this case.
00:32:31I mean, sure, our work is important,
00:32:33but it doesn't mean we have to risk our lives.
00:32:37I'm still representing him.
00:32:38You're what?
00:32:42Cassie, 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,
00:32:51and that's a risk I'm willing to take.
00:32:54Speaking of winning.
00:32:59You're engaged.
00:33:01I didn't even know you were dating anyone.
00:33:03It was a lucky guy.
00:33:05I think she's referring to me.
00:33:14Well, I mean, congratulations.
00:33:18You two are perfect for each other.
00:33:21Well, thanks for being so mature about it, Cassie.
00:33:24We thought you'd be really torn up.
00:33:26I could kill him right now.
00:33:28Yeah, you're a total girl's girl.
00:33:30I just hope you're not spying on me for the case.
00:33:33Oh!
00:33:36I can win on my own merit.
00:33:39I don't need Emily gathering intel for me.
00:33:42He wins all of his cases.
00:33:44The prosecutor's office has him next in line to be district attorney.
00:33:49They treat us really good over there.
00:33:51I'm guessing no bagel on lox Friday is here.
00:33:54Well, the PD's office doesn't like to waste taxpayer dollars.
00:33:58Daddy, where bucks?
00:33:59Daddy, huh?
00:34:00I haven'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.
00:34:12All three inches of them.
00:34:15This means war.
00:34:17Horse-sized duck?
00:34:19Or 100 duck-sized horses?
00:34:24Hey.
00:34:26Doing okay?
00:34:28He'll be all right.
00:34:31Don't let him get to you.
00:34:37What is she doing here?
00:34:39Hey, baby.
00:34:41Great.
00:34:42Now I have an audience.
00:34:45All rise.
00:34:48We are here today to examine the case of Lucas Henninger versus the people.
00:34:56Prosecution?
00:34:57Your argument?
00:34:58Thank you, Judge Griffin.
00:35:01This man right here brutally gunned down another man at his place of work.
00:35:07He's an example of the lowest dregs of society, someone 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
00:35:22also that there's no more appropriate sentence than the death penalty.
00:35:29Lucas can't die.
00:35:31Lucas can't die.
00:35:31There's more than his life on the line.
00:35:33It's my heart.
00:35:35Am I starting to fall for him?
00:35:50What's the matter?
00:35:53Nothing.
00:35:58Don't let that loser get to you.
00:36:00You're better than this.
00:36:03Am I?
00:36:04I mean, I'm sleeping with my client.
00:36:07It was more than that to me.
00:36:10No matter what, I'm glad this all happened.
00:36:13The setup.
00:36:14I mean, heck, even the jail time.
00:36:17Why?
00:36:18Because if things hadn't gone this way.
00:36:22I never would have met you.
00:36:31For you.
00:36:38I knew it since the moment I met you, Cassie.
00:36:41I wanted you.
00:36:45Then come and take me.
00:37:06Oh, she is so finished.
00:37:09We will reconvene tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.
00:37:13Court is adjourned.
00:37:16This trial has been a disaster, but I can't lose.
00:37:19None of it means Lucas is going to die.
00:37:22Come on.
00:37:23Think.
00:37:26We need to talk.
00:37:28Okay.
00:37:38You're going to get me out of this room?
00:37:42The prosecution's built a strong case.
00:37:46It's not looking great.
00:37:49Perfect.
00:37:51They're going to send me straight to the electric chair.
00:37:53It's lethal injection, not...
00:37:57I'm sorry.
00:37:58I'm not helping.
00:38:00Um...
00:38:01Let's not spiral.
00:38:02Okay?
00:38:03Stay positive.
00:38:07Cassie, please.
00:38:08You're the only person left that believes in me.
00:38:11Even if it's hard to prove.
00:38:13Another attorney is just going to half-ass it until the jury seals my fate.
00:38:17He's right.
00:38:19And withdrawing mid-trial would only delay things more.
00:38:22Everyone else just thinks I'm a hopeless cause.
00:38:25No one is hopeless.
00:38:28I really believe that.
00:38:30Especially not you.
00:38:32I know it's wrong.
00:38:33But I want Lucas as much as he wants me.
00:38:36I can't deny it anymore.
00:38:47No one.
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
00:39:13Could know
00:39:15Could things between Lucas and me actually get serious
00:39:28After they sentenced me
00:39:30I might not ever see Cassie again
00:39:32Tomorrow's another day
00:39:34We can still turn this trial around
00:39:36Yeah
00:39:38Yeah we're in this together
00:39:39And I can't imagine my life without her
00:39:41No 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
00:39:54Please 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
00:40:29Trial day one
00:40:31Any big wins?
00:40:32Don't
00:40:35I didn't know you set a date for the wedding
00:40:37I meant to tell you
00:40:38You've just had your hands full with that client of yours
00:40:42I just don't want to send an innocent man to his death
00:40:45So
00:40:46Yeah I've been a little preoccupied
00:40:48Seems like Henninger's been getting a lot of your attention
00:40:51Huh?
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 guard
00:41:30It's okay
00:41:31Don't worry I paid him off to look the other way
00:41:33Oh
00:41:34Well so you thought through everything didn't you?
00:41:37We need to be more careful
00:41:39I can't keep defending you if we get caught
00:41:41Yeah
00:41:42That's half the fun isn't it?
00:41:44Not getting caught
00:41:47Spoken like a true criminal
00:41:54You know I want you
00:41:57But I feel like I can't
00:42:00Really truly have you until I'm a free man
00:42:19She's fraternizing with her client
00:42:22You're kidding
00:42:23I saw it myself
00:42:26Getting all cozy
00:42:27In 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
00:42:37Then we can get this whole trial thrown out
00:42:39And Cassie Burns
00:42:41Will never practice law ever again
00:42:47I am marrying someone so brilliant
00:42:51And hot
00:42:55I can't stand the sight of Julian and Emily
00:42:58Lucas was right about him
00:43:04I've got to find a way to win this case
00:43:07Even if it takes all night
00:43:13Hey you got a sec?
00:43:14Make it quick
00:43:15My cell evictor
00:43:17The man before the riot
00:43:18He was shooting off his mouth
00:43:19I was saying now he's going to take this place down
00:43:22I don't want to hear you gossip
00:43:23I 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
00:43:41Hello?
00:43:43Is anyone here?
00:43:46Is anyone here?
00:44:08How'd you sleep?
00:44:12What do you want with me?
00:44:13I heard you made a little stop at the Econo Lodge
00:44:18Additional discovery for the case
00:44:19Well you can stop looking now
00:44:22I knew you were there with Lucas that night
00:44:24I was there to keep him
00:44:29Distracted
00:44:31That'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
00:44:53Well 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
00:44:59So he doesn't even have a chance
00:45:06You don't have the balls
00:45:08You want to bet?
00:45:17Forgot the ammo, huh?
00:45:22I told you to stay off this case
00:45:26Said 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
00:45:44I'll be destroyed
00:45:46Forever
00:45:54Son of a bitch
00:45:56For what it's worth
00:45:58I really did think you would win this case
00:46:01I guess no one ever knows
00:46:08Lucas
00:46:08You fucker
00:46:11How did you get in here?
00:46:12I had to make a little prison break
00:46:14Hey
00:46:14Get back
00:46:21You know when he said you had a crazy accent
00:46:23I didn't think you were this literal
00:46:24Yeah
00:46:25He didn't mention what a deadbeat fucking boyfriend he was to me either
00:46:29You betrayed me
00:46:33You cheated on me with my business partner
00:46:36I'm gonna do you one last favor, Natalie
00:46:39I'll let you live
00:46:40But don't ever
00:46:42Show your face around here again
00:46:44Because she's your only alibi
00:46:48Go!
00:46:51This isn't over
00:46:57You okay?
00:47:00Okay
00:47:03I can't believe he risked everything to save me
00:47:05I would do anything to protect you
00:47:08You'd do the same for me
00:47:10How did you know Natalie was gonna be here?
00:47:13I had my ways
00:47:17Now that she's gone
00:47:18We can't prove you're innocent
00:47:24How about this little guy?
00:47:32We can win your case with that
00:47:36But we need to get you back to prison
00:47:39Wait
00:47:40This is my first time being free
00:47:43In a long time
00:47:45And who knows
00:47:46What the judge is gonna say
00:47:47Even with the evidence
00:47:49What do you mean?
00:47:55I just wanna know
00:47:56What it's like to be with you as a free man
00:48:14We can't do this here
00:48:17Yeah
00:48:20Sometimes being bad
00:48:22It's a little more fun
00:48:45I gotta say
00:48:46Seeing you all tied up
00:48:49I really did something to me
