Previously on All Rise...
I want you to know this little war of ours is far from over.
Drop the gun!
- I love you, Em. - I love you, too.
We were a thing, like, a million years ago.
You two were more than a thing.
I've got you, Lo.
I saw you and Andre.
Can we just talk about this, please?
I need some time.
My brother is not a murderer.
- I take it you saw the news? - It can't be a coincidence.
You think we have a serial killer on our hands?
Police arrested a man they believe
is a serial killer.
Long-time South L.A.
forklift operator, Carl Brewer, did not resist arrest.
He barely said a word as police took him away.
Brewer is accused of murdering four women
between 2004 and 2017.
Earlier this year, Brewer was acquitted
in the murder of one South L.A. woman.
He is now charged in the brutal deaths
of four additional women.
All of the victims shot to death.
Their bodies found in alleys and landfills.
Brewer says he's innocent, but prosecutors
maintain they've collected new evidence against him
over the past few months.
They said he may have committed other murders
that have gone unsolved for a years.
The question on everyone's mind,
will Carl Brewer be acquitted once again?
A new set of jurors will decide.
Big day. You ready?
Yeah. Yeah, hell, yeah.
Always down to put a serial killer behind bars,
especially a creep like Carl Brewer.
I don't know. I have this sneaking suspicion
he's got another trick up his sleeve.
You've built a rock-solid case.
Now, you've just got to convince a jury.
Yeah.
Don't look so surprised,
I've been known to make breakfast from time to time.
I'm not complaining.
All that tossing and turning you were doing last night.
That's what a crying baby will do to you.
You, my dear, were comatose.
I was tired after that flight.
Thank you for taking care of Bailey,
I mean, with you having to get up early and everything.
Funny thing happened after you drifted off
to Never Neverland.
I couldn't sleep.
So, I go to cast a movie from my husband's cell phone.
Let me guess. Love and Basketball?
It never gets old.
Anyway, I'm all thumbs with your phone as usual.
And instead of my movie,
I get my husband's emails splashed across the TV screen.
No biggie.
Until I come across one particular email
with the subject line, "Operation Double A,"
- a.k.a. Andre Armstrong. - Here we go.
You're running a background check on Andre, Robin, really?
It's not an FBI thing.
I just want to know a little more
about the man I saw kissing my wife.
It was a huge mistake and I am sorry.
And I will continue to say I'm sorry.
Lola, Lola, Lola! Let's not wake up Bailey.
- Andre is a nonfactor. - Well, I don't trust him.
So, I'm doing my deep dive.
I wanna know where he's lived, his blood type,
what rock he crawled out from underneath. All of it.
You didn't do a deep dive
with your little mommy friend, coupon scammer.
There it is. Lola Carmichael reaches in her back pocket
and pulls out what she'd been saving for a rainy day.
The infamous coupon scam. Well-played.
High five.
No?
Maybe it's me you don't trust?
Oh, hello. Bona fide lawyer here.
I should be arguing cases and stacking courtroom wins,
instead I'm still here doing this grunt work.
You've been a great help,
especially since Rachel is still in D.C.
and I know it's a lot.
The Big Pharma case and supervising
all these paralegals.
Wait, they're not pushing you around, are they?
Yeah, they are especially the snooty one right over there.
- Andre's paralegal? - Ben Fischer.
the man turns his nose up so much at me,
I'm surprised he doesn't have whiplash.
Hey, I survived a stabbing, I can certainly survive him.
Don't worry, Amy, it's just a 12-inch scar.
I should be fine. Now, the non-visible scar,
I'm still working on that one.
You know, we could all benefit
from the counseling that Lola set up.
Yeah, well, listening to my grandpop helps.
I swear, the old man talks to me like he's still here.
I was nine when I first told him that I wanted to be a lawyer.
He used to say to me, "Nessa, you're my little Themis.
"You're my little lady of justice.
"You have the power to overcome anything."
I have two favorite superheroes,
Themis and my grandpa.
It would be great to hear his voice right about now.
I'm sorry, I have to go deliver this.
Good morning.
Stalking me, Watkins? I thought we changed the door code.
- Don't you ever sleep? - I do not.
You should try counting chimeras instead of sheep.
- I hear it works wonders. - Let it go, Callan.
What's new with the Brewer trial?
You my friend, need to let that go.
You can watch it on the 11:00 news like everybody else.
Gentlemen, Choi's in the building.
Hey! Thomas Choi, we missed you around here, sir.
Oh, I didn't miss you guys one bit.
- The lies you tell. - Watkins.
All right, time to get down to business.
Hey, Luke, about the Carl Brewer case,
do me a favor. Step to the other side of that door.
Damn, Choi, you gonna do me like that?
Oh, I'm going to do you like that.
I need to talk a little trial strategy
with my co-counsel here.
- Love that guy. - Ice cold, Choi.
Hey, thank you for coming down here all the way from Pomona.
I appreciate your expertise on this.
Carl Brewer's left a trail of murders
in your jurisdiction and mine.
Let's run down our biggies, we've got our witnesses
who've seen Brewer in locations where he's buried bodies.
- Check. Hair from the victims. - Yep. We've got a murder weapon.
Hell yeah. We also have the only woman that Carl Brewer
gives a damn about, his sister, Mildred Brewer.
Defense still plan on calling her as a witness.
Great, Callan, are you sure you want to stick
with what we discussed?
Oh, abso-frickin-lutely.
When we go to cross-examine Ms. Brewer,
that's when I toss the grenade in.
My finger's already on the pin.
Okay, so that is definitely not court business.
Those googly eyes you're making.
Sarah, who are you flirt texting?
- Spill the tea. - Mmm. No, no!
The tea just stay in my cup.
- Yeah? - Yeah. I'm sorry.
Actually, I need a favor.
Mmm, all right. I'm all ears.
- I need you to be my wingwoman. - Come again.
My wingwoman.
I am finally going to introduce my dad
to Luke for the first time.
The thing is, my dad has always had this crazy tic
when it's come to every single guy I have ever dated.
You're afraid he's going to go all tick, tick, boom with Luke?
Exactly. Yes. So your mission, should you choose to accept it,
is to stymie my dad's tic with your wit.
- What? - Yeah.
- No. Hell to the no. - Why? Come on.
You know you'll be-- you'll be a fun diversion
to make things go right should shit veer left.
- Fine. - Really?
Yes. I will be your wing thingy, whatever.
- You're the best. - You will owe me big, Lopez.
Deal.
Good morning.
- Your Honor, you look kinda-- - I'm not.
Are you sure? You look a little--
- I'm fine. - Well, if you want
a little cheer me up, we've got fan mail.
It's been sitting in the mail room for months
and security has finally done their sweep
and now you are allowed to enjoy it, and the rest of the judges
to be jealous because you get so much more fan mail than them.
- More postcards? - Mm hmm.
"Judge Carmichael, would love to see you here in Lawndale.
"When are you coming to Agoura Hills?"
"Judge, hello. We would love for you
"to visit us here in Irvine."
That's a pretty card. "Love you, Judge Carmichael.
"From your friends in beautiful Temecula, greetings."
Wow. Riverside County.
- Hemet. - Hemet?
Now, I've been to all of these places and they're wonderful.
But you're not sure if they'd be in your top ten travel hot list?
Well, I do love my supporters.
And they do love you. Ooh, you could call them risers.
Get it, because all rise, risers.
You should work on something different.
- I like it. - Speaking of my number one fan,
has she made it into the courtroom?
She's been here for like an hour.
Carl Brewer fires two attorneys and then hires her.
And why is she working with him anyway?
He doesn't seem like her type.
It's like she stepped into the private sector just for this.
and you kicked her ass up and down on Election Day,
Well, I mean, she's been pleasant so far, I guess.
- And did you just say ass? - Yes.
I'm putting it on my naughty word of the day.
All rise.
Judge Lola Carmichael presiding.
Miss Cuthbert, welcome to my courtroom.
It's nice to see you again, Judge Carmichael.
Two of the women were buried in landfills,
one we found in a dumpster,
and the most recent at a construction site in Pomona.
The murders all followed a pattern.
Gunshot wound to the head, rope burns, hair ripped out.
Detective, did you recover a firearm
during the course of your investigation?
We did. In my presence, an officer found
a 9mm at the scene of a gang murder in Pomona.
That was several months ago.
Showing what was previously marked
as People's Exhibit three.
Detective, do you believe
that this firearm is connected to this case?
Yes. When we ran the serial number of the firearm,
it came back as registered to Carl Brewer.
We suspect he tried to sell it through a gun buyback program.
This asshole cop is lying, you need to object.
Brewer's gun ended up in the hand of the gang member
who was recently shot to death.
Objection, speculation and lack of foundation.
Sustained. The last portion of the answer is stricken.
Detective on the monitor is a piece of paper
marked People's Exhibit 19.
Do you recognize this?
Yes. That's a receipt for ammo.
We found it a couple of months ago
in the trunk of Mr. Brewer's vehicle.
The bullets that Mr. Brewer purchased
were for a 9mm.
They are the same type of bullet that killed
all four of the victims in this case.
- Objection, foundation. - Overruled.
Subject to a foundation being laid. Mr. Callan.
Your Honor, I'll be calling a ballistics expert.
She'll be testifying that she test-fired
the weapon and determined that it matched the projectiles
found in the victim's, as well as spent bullets
found near each of the crime scenes.
- That's all, your Honor. - Miss Cuthbert.
Detective Collins, you took the lead
in all four of these murder investigations,
and you certainly are a seasoned detective.
But I think it's important the jury know more about you.
I apologize if this gets uncomfortable.
What I'm handing the court is a document
marked Defense Exhibit C.
Opposing counsel already has one.
I would like to give one to the detective.
You may.
Detective, what you're holding is a disciplinary report
from the Board of Police Commissioners during
the time you were investigating the second murder, is it not?
You were under disciplinary proceedings
with the LAPD Internal Affairs Division, is that correct?
- That was way back in 2009. - You were being investigated
for planting stolen jewelry, is that correct?
- Yes. - And that's because you,
in fact, tried to pin a burglary on your wife's boyfriend
by planting stolen jewelry in his home. Is that right?
The D.A. dropped all the charges.
I didn't ask you that, Detective.
You attempted to set up the man
with whom your wife was having an affair.
Is that true?
That was the allegation.
Detective, do you believe that an officer
who could frame his wife's lover for residential burglary
is an officer who could frame Carl Brewer for murder?
- Objection. - Sustained.
I think I've made my point.
No further questions, Your Honor.
There.
What the...
What the hell just happened?
I've been producing legal docs for 30 years.
I use a state-of-the-art digital indexing system.
Yes, so do I. But the error occurred on your side, Ben.
Oh my God, I can't believe I did this.
I'm gonna get fired.
You beamed our confidential documents
to the opposing attorney. We are the CIA,
and you just gave the codes to the Kremlin.
Just let me think!
Just bring your blood pressure down.
I'm sure Andre will understand,
you've worked for him for, like a 100 years.
Without making a mistake,
that's why I've worked for him a 100 years.
Okay. Where's the fire?
We might have a slight problem.
So, you said Carl Brewer would come into
Jansen gas station to fill up his tank.
All the time. He's been coming to that station for years,
and he'd always come, like, around 1:30
in the morning during my shift.
I took a graveyard shift so I wouldn't have to be
bothered much to with customers, you know.
Anywho, he was kind of weird,
but it seemed he got weirder these past few months.
Always wanting exactly $13.06 in gas.
He'd give me $13 and a dime and then stand there,
waiting on four pennies back in change.
- I'm like, are you kidding me? - Any other unusual behavior?
He was flirty, but in a serious way.
Had this smirk and I though he was tweaking on meth.
Oh yeah. And he'd ask me what kind of perfume I was wearing,
if my hair was really mine. Now, I ain't gonna to lie,
he was kinda fine for an old dude.
But, he was way too extra.
Thank you, Miss Dale.
You told Mr. Choi that you noticed a woman
that you thought was sleeping in the back
of Mr. Brewer's car one night. Is that right?
Yep, I took a look inside the car
when Brewer was taking a piss.
Looked like the woman was wasted.
And that was over five years ago?
And I still remember that moment.
You also said that a couple of weeks later
that you learned from the news that the same woman was missing?
Did you-- did you call the police then?
Yeah. No, I mean, I did call recently, when they found--
Recently?
But you weren't alarmed enough then to call the police?
I didn't think anything about that lady until I heard
police suspected she might have been murdered.
That's all. Thank you.
- Mr. Choi, any redirect? - Thank you.
Ms. Dale, the police interviewed you many times.
What did you eventually learn from them
about the woman you saw in Brewer's vehicle?
- Objection, calls for hearsay. - Mr. Choi.
Effect on the listener Your Honor.
Overruled. The answer will be admitted
for that non-hearsay purpose.
You may answer the question.
Detective Collins told me they were investigating her murder.
That's when I put two and two together
about Carl Brewer and realized the woman
I thought was passed out was probably dead.
And that's what I told the police.
I'm sure Brewer was wanting me to be his next victim.
Objection, speculation and 352.
Sustained. That last sentence is stricken.
So again, let me try and understand this?
Our confidential, privileged documents
are now in the hands of the opposing attorney.
About 100 of them.
I've checked the E-system log about a gazillion times
and I don't know how it happened.
It just did. I am-- I'm so sorry.
Every scintilla of communication between us
and our Big Pharma client is written in those documents.
Yes, I understand.
As I said, our legal strategies, our weaknesses.
We are fighting a major civil class action lawsuit
and that plaintiffs firm represents dozens of litigants.
Do you know how much this sets us back?
- Let's take a moment here. - Who made the mistake?
It was me. I made the mistake.
But I put a digital key on the document,
so the plaintiff's lawyer's shouldn't be able
to access them.
Yes, we've actually spoken to the opposing attorney
and he's threatening to bring a motion to unlock
the documents due to negligent production.
Moe Wardlow is a very shady lawyer.
If he so much as even peeks at the page count,
we are drowning in multimillion dollar lawsuits.
God damn it! Shit!
You had two very important duties, Vanessa.
To oversee the paralegals
and to maintain previous logs of attorney client documents.
I know I made a huge mistake,
and I've only been a lawyer for six minutes and two seconds.
And this is not how I imagined my beautiful
new chapter to begin. But I will figure this out.
I will fix this.
Hey, no Dad, this is a state park.
You can't smoke that here, so please put it away.
Thank you.
I am so sorry I'm late.
I was actually sitting in on the trial.
It's okay. Luke, this is my father, Claudio Lopez.
Dad, this is Luke Watkins.
- It is an honor to meet you. - Hello, young man.
I've heard a lot of great things about you.
Only the great things are true.
It's good to see you.
- So, Mr. Lopez. - Mmm...
Emily is just such a great friend,
I just love her and I love Luke.
She's great and he's great, and together they're even greater.
Dad, I know Mom had to work, but it's so great to see you.
Really good to see you too, mija.
You know, I see your brother all the time.
He's never too busy to come by.
Yeah, I know that he's-- Well, you know--
I have a secret agenda for coming here today.
You see mijita, you're an attorney,
and I need an attorney.
- I'm a lawbreaker. - Excuse me. What do you--
I have to see a judge about these-- these tickets
that I sort of forgot about, and I think I owe a few thousand,
and I think they're going to throw me in the clink.
So, Lucius, do you smoke cigars?
Because to me, you seem like a man
who prefers the football hookah.
It's actually, uh, Luke, sir.
"Dear Judge, wish you were here in gorgeous Lake Elsinore."
Lake Elsinore?
At least this postcard comes from a well-known vacation spot.
They just keep coming in.
- What the hell? - Everything okay?
Just got an alert that Carl Brewer did an interview.
So wonderful to be with you.
Thank you for allowing my client to tell his story.
Carl, you wanted to say? Yes.
You know, first of all, I just want to say I'm--
I'm so blessed to be here.
I cannot believe her.
I want to speak to her before we bring in the jury.
Look, I don't want my sister up there on that witness stand.
I understand it's a huge risk.
It's the best shot we've got.
The jury should know about your personal struggles.
And your sister wants to testify.
Judge Carmichael must have gotten a news alert.
- Why do you say that? - She wants to see me.
Hey.
Got I.T. to do a scrub down.
Hopefully, there's a glitch in there somewhere.
I still don't understand how the opposing lawyer
- got a hold of our files. - Ben just talked to Andre
and took full responsibility for the error.
So, you were covering for him?
I found out that he's got a sick wife at home.
Cancer explains why he's been so off putting and scatterbrained.
Andre fired him.
Of course you work for Audubon and Quinn, not Andre.
And no one is firing you.
Ness, we're not going to let this setback defeat us.
What would Themis and grandpop say to you in this moment?
Oh, I know you didn't just bring
my two favorite superheroes into this.
I thought we had an understanding
about not litigating this case in the media?
Ms. Cuthbert, what you pulled was a slick move
to try to drum up public support.
Sometimes a gag order is unconstitutional
due to a prior restraint on free speech.
And I don't have to follow it.
I didn't make a gag order. I merely asked both sides
if they were considering talking to the media.
You said you would not,
and yet you do an interview that drops on day one.
I just told the facts in that interview.
My client did suffer from leukemia.
His Miranda rights were violated one time
and he was acquitted of murder.
I want to ensure this trial proceeds
with proper decorum and not like a circus.
And for months, your client has sought
media attention, book offers.
How many book offers have you entertained since
you've been reelected, Your Honor?
I hear it's quite a number.
Move to strike, go off record.
Something you want to get off your chest, Corrine?
I just can't help but wonder how you and your sketchy cohorts
at the D.A.'s office managed to subvert the election.
I'm here because voters put me here.
That's because they didn't know about the corruption.
Tell me, did you manage to get the taxpayers back
the $500,000 that evaporated from your campaign?
If a document can be leaked from the Supreme Court,
it most certainly can be leaked from the public integrity unit.
There was nefarious activity within my campaign.
Once we found out, we tied it up and took out the trash.
Now I did not owe you that explanation, Corrine,
but damn, I'm glad I gave it to you.
Now, you may step back.
Back on the record.
Ms. Cuthbert, if I discover that any one of my jurors
caught wind of your little publicity stunt,
I will give serious consideration
to holding you in contempt.
Five red light camera violations,
all unpaid plus the speeding tickets.
What are we gonna do about this, sir?
Five, Dad? You didn't tell me about--
Okay.
Your Honor, my name is Emily Lopez.
I am Claudio Lopez's daughter, and I am his attorney.
And on behalf of my client.
- Ms. Lopez? - Yes?
It's not the trial of the century. Would you mind?
Mr. Lopez, talk to me.
Stand, Dad.
Judge. I never put anyone's life in danger.
I always look both ways before I run the light.
No.
It's amazing you were never picked up on the bench warrant.
Ready to go to jail today, because I can put you there.
You don't have to go through all that hassle, Your Honor.
Then, tell me why you are a speed demon
who likes to run red lights?
Well, the truth is, there are way too many
of those damn red light cameras in my neighborhood.
And the lights are super long.
Up to three, sometimes four minutes.
I'm an old man. I've survived two heart attacks,
the failure of my trucking business.
I picked myself back up,
I got my company running again.
And I'm just trying to enjoy every millisecond of life
before the credits roll.
I just don't have time to wait for a long red light.
This bubbly behavior's unusual even for you. What's up?
You've got 40 minutes before your trial starts.
- There's plenty of time. - For?
You may enter.
Sherri, who's on the other side of that door?
Just-- Okay--
We've really got to work on your timings.
My timing was a little off, I know.
These past couple months have been really hard
and it's felt like we were strangers.
I don't want us to be. I just needed some time alone.
I can tell you that there will be no more
personal background checks, into Mr. Armstrong.
I promise.
Baby, I never meant
for any of this to happen.
- But it did. - It was a stupid kiss.
Will you please forgive me?
I already have.
But...
if there are any more stupid kisses...
we're done.
I'm not trying to be an asshole, baby. Just being honest.
The only stupid kisses I want are from my husband.
That's sweet, a little corny but sweet.
Corny? Look who's talking.
The hearing will probably go an hour.
Then we can get back to that fire we need to put out.
Like I said, Nessa's doing her best to turn things around.
- There is no need to browbeat-- - She still hasn't found a fix
for the mistake that happened on her watch.
Oh, the mistake your paralegal may have made.
Termination is not a dirty word, Amy.
You need to hold Vanessa accountable.
Rachel and I will handle this the best we see fit.
Excuse me.
Hello.
Andre Armstrong, Robin Taylor, Lola's husband.
Figured it's about time you and I met.
Oh, yes nice to meet you. She speaks so highly--
I'm gonna need you to stay away from my wife.
- Hold up now. - No, you hold up.
The next time you think about planting a kiss
on my wife, think twice. It's going to be a problem
if I see some shit like that again.
- Oh, you saw that? - Yeah.
Oh wow. Look, I'm really sorry, I am.
I'll be more careful next time.
There's not gonna be a next time.
There's no need for hostility.
We can sit down like two mature adults, talk this out,
crack open a bottle of the hard stuff with the blue label.
My treat.
Just know I don't like no grown ass man walking up on me.
I said all I needed to say.
Heard you're an FBI agent.
Anything in the building we need to be concerned about.
Must be a reason you're here?
There's a reason, I'm visiting my beautiful wife.
I'm friends with all the security in the H.O.J.
I know all the ins and outs, I pop up over here all the time.
Is that right?
Well, since you're familiar with the H.O.J. layout,
I'm sure you know
there's a dual entrance to Lola's chambers.
The front and the back.
Ah damn, I prefer the back.
Okay...
Robin, hi, nice to see you. How's Lola? How's Bailey?
Bailey's great. It's great to see you, too Amy.
Tell Mark I say hey.
The leukemia nearly killed him.
He was bedridden for most of his young life.
My brother is not evil.
He is a warm and gentle soul.
After our mother left us...
I've always been there to protect Carl since we were kids.
Miss Brewer, I used to represent the police union,
so I understand that most officers go above and beyond
their commitment to serve and protect.
But I do want to ask you
what your experience was with the police?
Oh, for years they harassed Carl.
Tried to accuse him of these brutal crimes these murders.
It got so bad, we moved a couple of times.
Mr. Brewer.
Bailiff, he needs medical attention.
- I'm calling a medic. - Carl.
- Help him! - Get the jury out.
Carl!
Y'ello! Y'all need a cowbell on that front door.
- Moe Wardlow, it's been a while. - Sure has, Armstrong.
Heck, I still tell stories about you and I
doing battle during the tobacco litigation wars.
Never repped big tobacco. You've got me confused.
- Amy Quinn, meet Moe Wardlow. - Okay, okay.
Help yourself to water, coffee,
or if you prefer something a little more robust,
- we've got that too. - I'll stick with water
'til you all give me that check we know is coming.
Nah, who needs water? I ain't a boat.
Okay, we do not need to settle with this guy, okay.
We can get our documents back.
As I said, Wardlow is the mosquito
that can suck the lifeblood out of all of us.
That's worth the hefty price to make this right.
Yeah. Thank you.
Just confirmed another cold case murder.
Woman's remains found in Pomona.
Autopsy revealed a similar killing pattern to--
How close to Jensen gas station?
Less than a mile. They found her at the construction site
- off Dorsey Road. - Been dead for a while.
Same area the police found the victim Rydell testified about.
It will be a shame if Brewer croaks.
Kills a bunch of people,
then goes out like some kind of martyr.
Looks like Brewer's number is not up yet.
Don't think I've ever prayed for serial killer's
speedy recovery before.
- Asked and answered. - Amen!
It's illegal, Mr. Lopez.
You're a lucky man.
500 bucks is a far cry from the few thousand dollars
you owe for those speeding tickets.
- And a far cry from jail. - Mm hmm. Yeah.
Mr. Lopez, your daughter means a lot to me.
She helped me through some really rough times.
Emily told me you took a bullet or something.
Yeah, she was with me the whole time.
She helped me recover.
I need her in my life.
I'm hoping that you and I can get to know
each other a little better.
I'll tell you what, the next time we talk,
bring some old cognac.
It goes down nice with a good cigar.
It looks like Luke and your dad are going to be just fine.
Uh-uh. Nope!
My dad, he is playing it cool. Okay, I know him.
Luke is going to have a challenge on his hands.
- Trust me. - I still say you did not need me
to be your wingwoman.
Yeah, I know. I just like having you around.
- Mm. - Okay.
Tell me right now who you have been texting like a mad woman.
Fess up. Who is it?
Wardlow, what you received are privileged
and confidential attorney client documents.
Oh, I know.
Forstaff v. Casper.
Southern District of New York held that gross negligence
by competent counsel can waive attorney client privilege.
Now, I'm assuming that you guys are competent.
No federal court's gonna give you access to our documents.
Beyond that, you don't have a case.
Our client's drug works. It helps people.
And we know you can't back up your nonsense claims of damages.
Oh, I can and I will.
But before we even get to trial, you Big Pharma clients
are going to sue you up the wazoo for malpractice,
giving away their privileged communication,
exposing their national liability. But remember,
I gave you the opportunity to close Pandora's box.
Five million. Full settlement, and you immediately drop
your motion for us to deliver the digital caseload.
Too slow, too low. 30 million.
Andre, we're not doing this.
- 7 million. - 25 million.
But that is my final.
Time's a ticking folks. You're the hare, not the tortoise.
Me and my brother moved to Pomona about 20 years ago,
I guess. Lived there a few years.
Was Carl bedridden the entire time?
- He was sick? - Was he bedridden?
I don't know what you're asking.
Ask it a different way. Mr. Callan.
Yes, Your Honor. Were there times where your brother
was well enough that he could leave the house on his own?
- I suppose so. But not often. - No. You said at one point,
Ms. Brewer, that you had to get rid of most of your furniture?
To make room for his gurney and his medical supplies.
It was a lot.
What did you do with all of that furniture?
- You sell it, you store it? - I put it in self-storage.
- You still have that unit? - I haven't been there in years.
But you still have it? This is the unit that's leased
under your married name, Price.
- Yes! - I understand that you've lost
your husband a number of years back.
Does anyone else have access to this storage unit?
No, just me.
Ms. Brewer, of course, you understand that your brother
is charged with the murders of these four women
and that each of them was found with a patch
of hair missing from the back of their heads.
Prosecution would like to present
People's Exhibits 23, 24, 25 and 26.
Each of these bags contains hair ripped
from the scalps of these four women.
These four bags, along with eight others
just like them, were found in your storage unit Ms. Brewer.
You and your brother kept hair as souvenirs
from the women you killed and you covered for him.
Objection! Assumes facts not in evidence.
There's no evidence that this witness knew that
these items were in storage. In fact, maybe they weren't?
Detective Collins had a search warrant and several others
of his colleagues were present when this evidence was seized.
Leave my sister alone!
You leave my damn sister alone!
- Bailiff! - Judge Carmichael please,
please don't throw my sister in jail.
She ain't have nothing to do with this.
Mildred, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Mildred!
- We should take the deal. - You can't be serious?
- Listen to me. - No, no.
I'm not cutting a deal with Brewer.
We are going after the death penalty. That's it.
Let's at least hear him out. Maybe Brewer can help us.
Time's ticking.
Judge Carmichael gave us 15 minutes.
We'll go along with 25 to life on each murder.
The death penalty and life without parole
will both be taken off the table.
If your client gives us what we want
and I am not budging on that.
I'm only standing here because my client wanted me to.
I insist we go back to trial.
- No, no. - Mr. Brewer?
I said no.
I'm tired of it.
I'm tired.
I think 15 million is a bargain, Armstrong. Come with it.
No, I think you owe us the inadvertent disclosure.
It wasn't negligence by us. It was deception against us.
What the hell are you talking about?
Shut up, Wardlow. Go on, Ness.
The privileged documents were accidently sent
to Mr. Wardlow because of a tech error
that occurred due to differences
in software systems between us and them.
Us meaning us and them meaning him.
I finally found the gremlin.
Our software systems are top notch.
- Your system is booty. - So what?
Glen Fischer did nothing wrong.
He properly downloaded and transferred
the electronic documents.
It was Wardlow's secret server
that caused the malfunction. And yes, I say secret server.
I broke the code to this man's private cloud.
He's been hiding plenty of privileged documents in there.
These are actually just a few.
Mr. Wardlow, you have been holding back
from producing in violation of federal law.
Now, I have reviewed these docs up and through,
and they prove that your lawsuit is meritless
and your claims of damages are utter foolishness.
We've taken steps to prevent disclosure.
- We are protected. - And who, pray tell are you?
Vanessa "Ness" Johnson, Esquire.
Wardlow, get the hell out of here.
I'll send you a bill for reimbursement
for our litigation expenses.
25 to life on each count.
Is that both parties understanding of the agreement?
- Yes, Your Honor. - Yes, Your Honor.
Mr. Brewer, I understand you have disclosed
to law enforcement where you have buried 12 women
that you've murdered. Is that correct?
Yes, Judge Carmichael.
You have a document in front of you
that lists those locations, correct?
Yes. Judge Carmichael.
Before I approve this agreement, I would like for you
to read those places aloud to this court as a matter
of public record and as a matter of justice.
Yes, Judge Carmichael.
Just like old times, boss. Thank you.
My bravo assigned you with finding my replacement.
What's the hold up, Callan?
It's no small task, filling your shoes, sir.
Well, heads up, something's coming down
the pike that's going to rock the D.A.'s office.
Get any more info on that heads up?
Good, bad?
Just buy yourself a warm coat, Callan,
it's going to be a cold winter in L.A.
See you soon.
So, if I had been spending more quality time with my dad,
I probably would have known
about the tickets stacking up, you know?
But I'm-- I'm gonna be better at the whole family thing.
I will even visit my idiot brother more often once I--
Move out of your idiot brother's house.
Exactly.
- Hey, Em. - Yeah.
Could you can give me a moment?
Yeah, yeah.
Mr. Watkins, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
It's okay.
Thank you for representing Carl the first time.
My brother doesn't know this,
but I found a picture he had of a woman.
She had a tattoo of a Bible verse from first Corinthians.
"Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth."
Chapter 13, verse 6.
6.
The verse on the woman he swears he didn't kill.
A serial killer is not who I have loved
and taken care of all these years.
That's not my brother. That can't be him.
I'm so sorry.
Congratulations on the Brewer case.
Thanks. It feels like a bit of a hollow victory.
There's just so many victims, more than we even realized.
Lola was all shaken up at the end.
Do me a favor and circle Saturday, October 15th,
- on your calendar. - Okay.
Because that is the day
that I would like to become Mrs. Callan.
Oh, yeah.

But I already told you where I buried those bodies.
And you weren't-- you weren't paying attention.
Just read the document in front of you, Mr. Brewer.
Irvine, 2011, buried a body in open field off of the 133.
Agoura Hills, 2014.
Lawndale, Temecula, Pomona,
Buried a body near the Jensen Gas Station.
$13.06, ooh.
Five in Los Angeles.
Hemet, Lake Elsinore...
He never mentioned Baldwin Hills.
I live in Baldwin Hills.
Oh, uh, I'm signing.
