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.
00:01:13No, there's no stopping me.
00:01:36No, there's no stopping me.
00:01:41No, 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 gonna be on our side.
00:02:01I appreciate the confidence, but, um, if we're gonna work together, we need to start by being realistic about your
00:02:07case.
00:02:08What's the matter?
00:02:10We're gonna win this thing. I 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.
00:02:21So 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 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, uh, 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?
00:03:16Death penalty?
00:03:18Wait, wait, wait, hold 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.
00:03:31Okay?
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.
00:03:59Julian?
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.
00:04:11Oh, 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.
00:04:24It's kind of arousing.
00:04:30Oh, wow.
00:04:33Your client has eyes on you like a hawk.
00:04:37Can you stop causing trouble?
00:04:39I'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 gonna 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?
00:05:47Well, I heard the DA is trying to make an example of him.
00:05:50Yeah.
00:05:51Just my luck.
00:05:53I'm 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 gonna take him seriously.
00:06:02Lucas Henninger is a wild guard.
00:06:04He's cocky and a huge flirt.
00:06:06Who do 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.
00:06:24I 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.
00:06:41Cassie.
00:06:42Cassie.
00:06:43Cassie.
00:06:44Cassie.
00:06:45Cassie.
00:06:47Cassie.
00:06:47Cassie.
00:06:47Cassie.
00:06:47Cassie.
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...
00:07:19It'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.
00:07:46Mr. 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?
00:08:50So 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,
00:09:10I 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 very 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 jaded in law school, but he jaded 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 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.
00:10:50Like...
00:10:51This.
00:10:54Listen.
00:10:55You deserve better.
00:10:57That's all I'm saying.
00:10:58A gentleman.
00:10:59A gentleman.
00:11:01Who'll 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.
00:11:27Hennigan.
00:11:28Some one is here.
00:11:30See you.
00:11:41Wow.
00:11:44Macia, queijo.
00:11:46I'm sorry.
00:11:49You're going to want to sit down for this.
00:12:00Wait, the guards?
00:12:01Aren't going to see anything.
00:12:07I paid them off.
00:12:10Thought we could use a little privacy.
00:12:13Oh, yeah?
00:12:14Trying to see for what?
00:12:19So we can get to know each other a little better?
00:12:25This is definitely a home inside 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.
00:12:55Find anything.
00:12:57I think I've 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 want 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.
00:14:11I can't think there's any chance my lawyer's going to fall for me.
00:14:12I 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.
00:14:31That'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...
00:14:56Oh.
00:14:57There we go.
00:14:58Much better.
00:14:59Well, shit.
00:15:00I guess dreams really do come true.
00:15:02You really got him under control since the last time we saw each other.
00:15:07You'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.
00:16:03Mr. 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?
00:16:24Mr. Burns, why are you handcuffed to your client?
00:16:28Never mind, never mind.
00:16:30Bailiff, will you please disengage these two?
00:16:34Oh, this is going to be fun.
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.
00:16:55Ben, always 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.
00:17:19Because she'd be right about Lucas.
00:17:21Is he completely playing me?
00:17:26Henniger, you have a visitor.
00:17:41Hi, baby.
00:17:43Long time no see.
00:17:46Miss me?
00:17:47What the hell are you doing here?
00:17:49Victory lap before they put you away, honey.
00:17:53Considering they stuck you with that bimbo of a lawyer.
00:17:57Cassie, whatever her name is.
00:17:59You keep her name out of your mouth, you hear me?
00:18:01It's really bold of you to be showing your face around here.
00:18:03A fake ID can get you a long way.
00:18:06And mine's gonna take me all the way across the border.
00:18:10Collect thinking you have a chance of getting out of here.
00:18:12She's getting me out, alright?
00:18:15She actually gives a shit about me.
00:18:17Unlike you.
00:18:22It's just business, baby.
00:18:36Hello?
00:18:37Is 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 to get in contact with her?
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?
00:21:16The 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.
00:21:55Cassie, are 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.
00:22:25I'm sorry, Lucas.
00:22:26Someone clearly tampered with them.
00:22:28It's just a video of Static when the crime took place.
00:22:31I'm definitely gonna pin it on me now.
00:22:34See, I was...
00:22:35trying to cover my tracks.
00:22:37We'll figure out another way.
00:22:42I think I know who's sending that letter.
00:22:45Who?
00:22:48Natalie.
00:22:49My ex-girlfriend.
00:22:51Hey, Dom.
00:22:52Why don't you, uh, go grab yourself a cup of coffee.
00:22:55Just take ten.
00:23:04How do you have that much cash on you?
00:23:06You know what?
00:23:07Don'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 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 had together soon after we split.
00:23:51We could track her down, talk some sense into her.
00:23:54No.
00:23:55There ain't no talking sense into that woman.
00:23:58Why not?
00:23:59The night of the murder, we, uh, we 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.
00:24:31I wouldn't usually fuck my friend's girl.
00:24:37Even if she was mine first.
00:24:40I'm guessing Natalie won't agree to take the stand for you.
00:24:44No 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 gonna have to straighten up your act.
00:25:02No more outbursts.
00:25:03No more fighting in court.
00:25:06Be a gentleman.
00:25:08What about that prick ex-boyfriend?
00:25:13I'm just fooling.
00:25:27Hey, stop!
00:25:29Attention, all staff.
00:25:31Code red.
00:25:32Code red.
00:25:33All units, a disturbance has been reported.
00:25:36This is lockdown procedure.
00:25:44Shit, I'm trapped.
00:25:46What do we do?
00:25:47Grab his piece.
00:25:53Cassie, come with me.
00:25:54Where are we going?
00:25:55Stop watching.
00:25:56What?
00:26:05Are you sure this was a good idea?
00:26:07Solitaire is the last place anyone wants to be.
00:26:10They're not 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 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.
00:26:33Thank you for keeping me safe.
00:26:34I 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 if someone actually cares.
00:26:46Hey.

00:35:15over the course of this trial the prosecution will show that not only mr henninger here
00:35:21committed the crime but also that there's no more appropriate sentence than the death penalty
00:35:29lucas can't die

00:38:15until the jury seals my fate
00:38:17he's right
00:38:18and withdrawing mid-trial would only delay things more

00:53:40and if I hadn't showed
00:53:42Natalie would have killed you

01:02:30not 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
01:02:42used 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

01:03:05any 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

01:03:46let's get you out of these restraints
01:03:48no wait
01:03:50it's been too long since we've been alone together
01:03:57so
01:04:21it's been a mess
01:04:21and
01:04:21we're in 10 minutes
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.
01:04:39But please don't be like this.
01:04:40You were in line to be DA, Julian.
01:04:43If I can't marry a lawyer, then what is the point?
01:04:46Maybe we can get through this.
01:04:50I'm keeping the ring.
01:04:53Consider it billable hours.
01:04:56Baby.
01:04:58Ow.
01:04:59What are you looking at?
01:05:06Wow.
01:05:08You look...
01:05:09Damn fine.
01:05:11Cassian-free.
01:05:13Let me tell you something.
01:05:14It feels great.
01:05:18First day of freedom.
01:05:19Yeah.
01:05:20I'm just grateful for another day above ground.
01:05:23And I want to spend it with you.
01:05:25The parole is only temporary until the next trial.
01:05:28So make sure you enjoy every last bit of it.
01:05:30I will.
01:05:33And speaking of which, I wanted to talk to you about the retrial coming up and everything.
01:05:41Cassie, you've done more than just set me free.
01:05:44You've changed my life.
01:05:47You saw me when no one else would.
01:05:50And you always believed in me.
01:05:54Thank you for believing in yourself.
01:05:56Well, you know, honestly, I'm just excited to get to do normal stuff with you now in the outside world.
01:06:01Before anything, I think we need to figure something out.
01:06:06Yeah?
01:06:06What's that?
01:06:08Am I going to be your lawyer or your girlfriend?
01:06:20I know it's not much, but I made this for you on the first day we met.
01:06:27Lucas, I don't know what to say.
01:06:30Cassie, I know what it's like to take life for granted.
01:06:35And I'm not ever going to do that again.
01:06:38Starting now.
01:06:39Well, I want to speak my truth.
01:06:47Cassie, I've been given a second chance at life.
01:06:51I'm going to do things right.
01:06:53Starting with you.
01:06:57Cassie Burns, will you marry me?
01:07:02Yes.
01:07:03Yes, I do.
