1
00:00:01,088 --> 00:00:02,959
Previously on All Rise.
2
00:00:03,003 --> 00:00:04,395
You're one of
those creative judges.
3
00:00:04,439 --> 00:00:06,049
You say it like
it's a bad thing.
4
00:00:06,093 --> 00:00:07,746
SPEAKER 1: We finally
have a judge who's fair.
5
00:00:07,790 --> 00:00:09,357
This is
David Sanders, strategist
6
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,054
for my attorney
general campaign.
7
00:00:11,098 --> 00:00:12,664
Is this
your new law clerk?
8
00:00:12,708 --> 00:00:14,362
- Ness Johnson.
- Meet our newest clerk,
9
00:00:14,405 --> 00:00:16,059
- Mr. Luke Watkins.
- It's over.
10
00:00:16,103 --> 00:00:17,974
- It ain't over Amy Quinn.
- It's about time
11
00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:19,671
someone did
something nice for you.
12
00:00:19,715 --> 00:00:21,499
Hold down the fort
for me while I'm gone, okay?
13
00:00:21,543 --> 00:00:23,675
- We are in for a ride.
- I'm curious to see what kind
14
00:00:23,719 --> 00:00:26,200
of judge you'’re gonna be in a
few years when you're not so wet
15
00:00:26,243 --> 00:00:28,593
behind the ears and have
learned the rules of the game.

00:00:55,142 --> 00:00:57,709
This is way too close.
- The numbers are just coming in.
22
00:00:57,753 --> 00:00:59,407
We're only halfway
through reported districts,
23
00:00:59,450 --> 00:01:01,104
- we're still okay.
- This is not good.
24
00:01:01,148 --> 00:01:02,410
Hey,
we don't know that yet.
25
00:01:02,453 --> 00:01:03,759
There's no way Cuthbert can win,
26
00:01:03,802 --> 00:01:05,369
- right?
- Not good at all.
27
00:01:05,413 --> 00:01:07,110
She had the endorsements
and the money behind her.
28
00:01:07,154 --> 00:01:08,633
She can most definitely win.
29
00:01:09,852 --> 00:01:10,940

You said Cuthbert couldn't win.
34
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:24,519
She had might behind her, but
there's plenty of time left.
35
00:01:24,562 --> 00:01:26,564
We should not panic just yet.
36
00:01:26,608 --> 00:01:29,045
We ran a great campaign,
there'll be no panicking.
37
00:01:29,654 --> 00:01:30,742
Who's telling her?
38
00:01:30,786 --> 00:01:31,961
You or me?
39
00:01:36,357 --> 00:01:37,619
Bye.
40
00:01:38,576 --> 00:01:39,664
Who was that?
41
00:01:39,708 --> 00:01:41,536
It was Rachel.
42
00:01:41,579 --> 00:01:45,105
She was apologizing
for not making it back to L.A.
43
00:01:45,409 --> 00:01:47,716
and warning me not
to trip on my way up
44
00:01:47,759 --> 00:01:49,370
to the podium when
I give my acceptance speech.
45
00:01:51,459 --> 00:01:54,592
I am giving
an acceptance speech, right?
46
00:01:54,636 --> 00:01:56,116
Of course.
47
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:57,552
How many
districts have reported in?
48
00:01:57,595 --> 00:02:00,729
60%. But Corinne Cuthbert
is edging ahead.
49
00:02:04,602 --> 00:02:06,778
It's okay.
We've got options.
50
00:02:06,822 --> 00:02:08,780
- What?
- Option
51
00:02:08,824 --> 00:02:10,913
You kick her
ass in this judgeship race,
52
00:02:11,174 --> 00:02:13,263
we go back to
our normal, wonderful life.
53
00:02:13,307 --> 00:02:14,612
And Option B?
54
00:02:14,656 --> 00:02:16,179
We take time out for ourselves
55
00:02:16,223 --> 00:02:17,963
and our 18-month-old daughter.
56
00:02:18,486 --> 00:02:21,489
Maybe a change of scenery
will do us all some good.
57
00:02:24,013 --> 00:02:27,364
I have always wanted to spend
some time in Martha's Vineyard.
58
00:02:27,408 --> 00:02:28,496
Just say the word.
59
00:02:29,410 --> 00:02:31,020
Thank you, husband.
60
00:02:31,063 --> 00:02:33,588
No. Thank you, wife.
61
00:02:40,377 --> 00:02:42,597
Corinne Cuthbert
is now leading by ten points.
62
00:02:47,254 --> 00:02:50,387
I know everyone is seeing
the same numbers I'm seeing,
63
00:02:50,431 --> 00:02:53,825
but I am telling you that
we are still in it to win it.
64
00:02:58,178 --> 00:03:01,181
I want to thank you
all for coming here tonight
65
00:03:01,224 --> 00:03:03,835
and showing your support,
for putting your all
66
00:03:03,879 --> 00:03:05,707
into this campaign.
67
00:03:09,450 --> 00:03:11,278
It looks like
it's going to be a long night,
68
00:03:12,279 --> 00:03:15,673
But we are not going anywhere.
69
00:03:37,478 --> 00:03:38,783
Hey, you're awake.
70
00:03:40,089 --> 00:03:42,047
- You okay?
- I think I'm still in shock.
71
00:03:42,091 --> 00:03:43,962
Yeah, that
was a shocking thing.
72
00:03:44,006 --> 00:03:46,313
Not in a million years did
I think I would lose my seat.
73
00:03:46,356 --> 00:03:47,923
I blame Sanders.
74
00:03:50,273 --> 00:03:53,711
But, might be
a blessing in disguise.
75
00:03:54,277 --> 00:03:56,497
Maybe the universe
is trying to tell us
76
00:03:56,540 --> 00:03:57,759
we need to take some time.
77
00:03:57,802 --> 00:03:59,369
Time for what?
78
00:04:00,979 --> 00:04:03,895
Go to Costa Rica
or Martha's Vineyard.
79
00:04:04,156 --> 00:04:07,290
And before you say anything,
Roxy already agreed
80
00:04:07,334 --> 00:04:09,423
to watch Bailey,
and I've been looking
81
00:04:09,466 --> 00:04:11,163
at some rental
properties in Oak Bluffs.
82
00:04:11,207 --> 00:04:13,035
When did you
have time to do that?
83
00:04:13,078 --> 00:04:16,995
Your baby is a g-man,
I still have some connections.
84
00:04:17,648 --> 00:04:18,910
What do you say?
85
00:04:20,564 --> 00:04:22,436
Let's take advantage of this
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
86
00:04:25,743 --> 00:04:28,006
- Let's do it.
- Yes!
87
00:04:32,054 --> 00:04:34,012
- Who could that be?
- Doesn't matter.
88
00:04:49,985 --> 00:04:51,639
Judge Carmichael,
it's me, open up!
89
00:04:54,206 --> 00:04:56,252
Sanders, you
are really overstepping.
90
00:04:56,296 --> 00:04:57,949
What the hell
are you doing here?
91
00:04:57,993 --> 00:04:59,081
You need
to call Corinne Cuthbert.
92
00:04:59,124 --> 00:05:00,691
Call Corinne why?
93
00:05:00,735 --> 00:05:02,302
To take back
your concession speech.
94
00:05:03,477 --> 00:05:04,695
You won.
95
00:05:08,090 --> 00:05:10,353
I-- I won? I won!
96
00:05:10,397 --> 00:05:13,008

00:05:27,327 --> 00:05:28,980
and I got you
your favorite muffin.
102
00:05:29,024 --> 00:05:30,852
I even had to fight
off a grandma for it.
103
00:05:30,895 --> 00:05:32,897
No, Callan,
no bribery by muffin.
104
00:05:33,811 --> 00:05:35,596
Amy, it has been six months.
105
00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:37,598
You're the one who
proposed to a married woman.
106
00:05:37,641 --> 00:05:39,513
- Separated, married woman.
- You said you'd be patient!
107
00:05:39,556 --> 00:05:41,341
By any definition
of that word, I have been.
108
00:05:42,864 --> 00:05:44,518
Answer your phone.
We'’ll talk later.
109
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,128
We're not done.
110
00:05:46,171 --> 00:05:47,259
Bye Callan.
111
00:05:48,739 --> 00:05:51,002
The Lola-coaster rides again.
112
00:05:51,046 --> 00:05:53,265
Ah! I can barely
believe it myself!
113
00:05:53,309 --> 00:05:55,572
Somewhere between the last
reported district and the vote
114
00:05:55,616 --> 00:05:57,792
by mail ballots,
it all turned from Cuthbert--
115
00:05:57,835 --> 00:05:59,924
Thank you! To me!
116
00:05:59,968 --> 00:06:01,970
I'm proud of you 'Lo, but
it shouldn't have been close.
117
00:06:02,013 --> 00:06:03,841
But it was, and I'm
not taking it for granted.
118

You want to celebrate?
I can meet you in 30.
119
00:06:05,756 --> 00:06:06,975
Can't, on my way in.
120
00:06:07,018 --> 00:06:08,585
They're making you work already?
121
00:06:08,629 --> 00:06:10,587
- Benner insisted, demanded it.
- Why?
122
00:06:10,631 --> 00:06:12,415
Guess I'll find out soon enough.
Meet up later?
123
00:06:12,459 --> 00:06:14,417
Where? We've been
banned from the rooftop.
124
00:06:14,461 --> 00:06:16,376
The staircase is like
the Underground Railroad now.
125
00:06:16,724 --> 00:06:18,290
- Find somewhere new?
- Alright, go good.
126
00:06:18,334 --> 00:06:19,683

- Excuse me!
- Whoa, slow down!
132
00:06:32,783 --> 00:06:34,437
You practically knocked
my coffee out of my hand.
133
00:06:34,481 --> 00:06:35,960
Oh, sorry dude, I'm late.
134
00:06:36,004 --> 00:06:37,788
Do me a favor,
call off your DDA hounds.
135
00:06:37,832 --> 00:06:39,442
- What's that supposed to mean?
- They are relentless,
136
00:06:39,486 --> 00:06:41,270
they won't even consider
negotiating plea deals
137
00:06:41,313 --> 00:06:43,359
- with me, especially Maggie.
- You left the DA's office
138
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:45,143
to go be with
your girlfriend in the PD.
139
00:06:45,187 --> 00:06:47,189
I did not make
the switch because of Emily.
140
00:06:47,232 --> 00:06:49,234
Whatever you tell yourself
to get through your lonely days.
141
00:06:49,278 --> 00:06:50,888
The PD's office is a better fit.
142
00:06:50,932 --> 00:06:52,716
When's the last
time you heard from Lopez?
143
00:06:54,805 --> 00:06:58,026
Whatever your reasoning, most
of the DDA see it as a betrayal.
144
00:06:58,069 --> 00:07:00,115
- Including you?
- Didn't think about blowback?
145
00:07:01,203 --> 00:07:02,509
So that's how it's going to be.
146
00:07:02,552 --> 00:07:03,814
It's how it is.
147
00:07:05,294 --> 00:07:06,861
Still on for trivia
night at Big Wings on Thursday?
148
00:07:06,904 --> 00:07:08,123
Absolutely.
149
00:07:10,995 --> 00:07:13,389
It's been a steady stream
from the moment I hit the door.
150
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:15,304
People are
very excited for your return.
151
00:07:15,347 --> 00:07:17,132
Wow!
152
00:07:17,175 --> 00:07:19,439
I never thought about
how grateful I'd feel to be
153
00:07:19,482 --> 00:07:21,484
pulling up
to this building again.
154
00:07:21,528 --> 00:07:24,095
Uh, your first case is a prelim
on a smash and grab robbery.
155
00:07:24,139 --> 00:07:25,880
The defendant is
an 18 year old foster kid
156
00:07:25,923 --> 00:07:28,230
who put the owner in
a coma after the two scuffled.
157
00:07:28,273 --> 00:07:30,145
Couldn't I come back
to something lighter?
158
00:07:30,406 --> 00:07:32,364
When is wedding day
back on the docket?
159
00:07:32,408 --> 00:07:33,975
It's just first
day back jitters.
160
00:07:34,018 --> 00:07:36,064
I mean, you took
a month off for your campaign,
161
00:07:36,107 --> 00:07:37,326
you almost lost.
162
00:07:37,369 --> 00:07:38,632
Sherry?
- Yes?
163
00:07:40,155 --> 00:07:41,461
My keycard isn't working.
164
00:07:42,026 --> 00:07:43,724
Wait, did they deactivate
my card?
165
00:07:43,767 --> 00:07:45,595
Don't panic, I am on it.
166
00:07:46,117 --> 00:07:52,384
Sir? Sir? can you
please just let me in? Please?
167
00:07:52,428 --> 00:07:54,343
Please do not
tell me you deactivated
168
00:07:54,386 --> 00:07:55,953
judge Lola Carmichael's
key card.
169
00:07:55,997 --> 00:07:58,565
Yes, right now.
170
00:07:59,740 --> 00:08:00,871
Thank you.
171
00:08:02,569 --> 00:08:04,135
Sherri.
172
00:08:04,179 --> 00:08:06,137
Sara? Oh,
now I'’m hearing things.
173
00:08:06,616 --> 00:08:08,444
It's me, turn around.
174
00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:10,490
Oh, you're back!
175
00:08:10,533 --> 00:08:11,752
Did you finally
come to your senses?
176
00:08:11,795 --> 00:08:13,405
I have gossip about Benner!
177
00:08:13,449 --> 00:08:14,885
- You will not believe--
- Okay, one sec.
178
00:08:14,929 --> 00:08:16,670
Yes, I know there
was a grave mistake,
179
00:08:16,713 --> 00:08:19,020
now fix the grave and let her
in. Okay. Thank you.
180
00:08:20,674 --> 00:08:22,327
Wait. Is your
keycard working?
181
00:08:22,371 --> 00:08:23,459
Well, yeah.
182
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:26,201
I might need this. Okay, go.
183
00:08:26,244 --> 00:08:28,508
Rumor has it Judge Benner
met with the commission
184
00:08:28,551 --> 00:08:30,074
on judicial
performance this morning.
185
00:08:30,118 --> 00:08:31,728
- No!
- Yes!
186
00:08:31,772 --> 00:08:33,556
What does that
have to do with Judge Benner?
187
00:08:34,688 --> 00:08:36,385
Unless it has to do
with Judge Carmichael.
188
00:08:36,428 --> 00:08:38,822
I will leave that
sleuthing up to you.
189
00:08:38,866 --> 00:08:40,868
Oh, it's like old times!
190
00:08:40,911 --> 00:08:42,696
Don't touch that.
191
00:08:42,739 --> 00:08:44,698
Oh, I'm late for my
first day in the DA's office.
192
00:08:44,741 --> 00:08:46,003
Or, or you could just come back!
193
00:08:46,482 --> 00:08:47,788
I miss you, too.
194
00:08:56,013 --> 00:08:58,363
The DA is not
willing to make an offer.
195
00:08:58,407 --> 00:09:00,540
Am I going to jail, Mr. Watkins?
I can't go to jail.
196
00:09:00,583 --> 00:09:01,976
I'm trying to keep
that from happening.
197
00:09:02,019 --> 00:09:03,543
I get pulled into the system,
198
00:09:03,586 --> 00:09:05,022
then my brothers
will get separated.
199
00:09:05,066 --> 00:09:06,589
Aren't they
with your foster mom?
200
00:09:06,633 --> 00:09:07,895
Yeah, but she
can't handle them both,
201
00:09:07,938 --> 00:09:09,461
so she'll have to send one away.
202
00:09:09,505 --> 00:09:11,159
I promised
that I would be the one
203
00:09:11,202 --> 00:09:12,639
to be there
to take care of them.
204
00:09:12,682 --> 00:09:14,945
But the store
owner is still in a coma.
205
00:09:14,989 --> 00:09:16,077
I didn't mean to push him.
206
00:09:16,904 --> 00:09:18,383
I panicked.
207
00:09:18,775 --> 00:09:20,995
I was just trying
to get out of the store
208
00:09:21,038 --> 00:09:22,692
With a pair
of sneakers in your hand.
209
00:09:23,693 --> 00:09:25,782
But listen,
I'll keep working on the DA,
210
00:09:25,826 --> 00:09:27,610
hopefully not having
a record will help us.
211
00:09:32,528 --> 00:09:35,662
Beautiful.
Beautiful, beautiful.
212
00:09:38,926 --> 00:09:40,623
Hi, Betsy Flick.
213
00:09:40,667 --> 00:09:42,756
I was sent over
for the stenographer position.
214
00:09:42,799 --> 00:09:44,888
- Sherri Kansky right?
- Yes.
215
00:09:44,932 --> 00:09:46,586
I've heard a lot
of great things about you.
216
00:09:46,629 --> 00:09:48,239
It would be an honor
to work with you.
217
00:09:48,283 --> 00:09:49,589
Really, an honor?

Carmichael. What are

Dangerous beauty?

Callan, have you
narrowed down your selection?
234
00:10:50,301 --> 00:10:52,521
Sir, picking Choi's
replacement as head deputy D.A.
235
00:10:52,564 --> 00:10:53,653
should not be my job.
236
00:10:53,696 --> 00:10:55,437
Oh, Airpods, not bad.
237
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,917
You're enjoying
this, aren't you?
238
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,440
Look, I asked
if you'd take the job.
239
00:10:58,483 --> 00:11:00,703
You refused.
Now it's your choice.
240
00:11:00,747 --> 00:11:03,401
You never should have gotten
rid of Choi in the first place.
241
00:11:03,445 --> 00:11:06,143
- I didn't, he was promoted.
- He was transferred to Pomona.
242
00:11:06,187 --> 00:11:08,537
I'd suggest you pick
Choi's successor sooner
243
00:11:08,580 --> 00:11:10,713
rather than later,
or you know, stop being
244
00:11:10,757 --> 00:11:12,976
difficult and just
take the job yourself.
245
00:11:16,763 --> 00:11:17,981
Okay, higher.
246
00:11:19,461 --> 00:11:22,116
Now lower, yeah, smidge
to the left, a little more.
247
00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:23,726
Would you like
to ask what I think?
248
00:11:23,770 --> 00:11:25,728
No, I'm good.
You got a problem with it?
249
00:11:25,772 --> 00:11:27,948
No, it looks great, in fact.
250
00:11:27,991 --> 00:11:31,603
Turn it on.
Oh, perfect!
251
00:11:31,647 --> 00:11:33,518
Thank you guys so much,
I appreciate you.
252
00:11:33,867 --> 00:11:36,130
In the future, I would
love to be consulted first.
253
00:11:36,173 --> 00:11:37,740
Yeah, I did call you
but you didn't answer.
254
00:11:37,784 --> 00:11:39,437
- I don't think I--
- And then I called Rachel
255
00:11:39,481 --> 00:11:41,483
on her way to court,
although, the DC traffic
256
00:11:41,526 --> 00:11:43,354
did sound a lot
like Caribbean waves.
257
00:11:43,398 --> 00:11:44,965
I did my due diligence
258
00:11:45,008 --> 00:11:47,315
and consulted the powers
that be. And voila.
259
00:11:47,358 --> 00:11:49,273
Rachel happened to
mention when she was returning?
260
00:11:49,317 --> 00:11:51,275
No, but she did say
something about the case
261
00:11:51,319 --> 00:11:53,974
she was working on somehow
raining down money on the firm.
262
00:11:54,017 --> 00:11:56,585
Ah, she always says
that, well, I will just
263
00:11:56,628 --> 00:11:59,283
be happy when you are
able to take on new clients,
264
00:11:59,327 --> 00:12:02,852
though, I appreciate
all of the organizing, filing,
265
00:12:02,896 --> 00:12:05,899
calling and everything
you're doing to keep us afloat.
266
00:12:11,469 --> 00:12:13,950
Lisa, should I worry
Corinne Cuthbert never conceded?
267
00:12:14,690 --> 00:12:17,954
Judge Carmichael, I want you
to meet Judge Thomas Marshall.
268
00:12:17,998 --> 00:12:20,740
The infamous
Judge Lola Carmichael.
269
00:12:20,783 --> 00:12:23,133
Infamous, I wouldn't
quite put it like that.
270
00:12:23,177 --> 00:12:24,569
Your
reputation precedes you.
271
00:12:25,005 --> 00:12:26,876
- Reputation?
- Congratulations
272
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,704
on retaining
your seat at the 11th hour.
273
00:12:28,748 --> 00:12:30,575
- Thank you, sir.
- I look forward to getting
274
00:12:30,619 --> 00:12:32,839
to know you very well so
that I can judge for myself.
275
00:12:34,057 --> 00:12:35,667
A little judicial humor.
276
00:12:36,581 --> 00:12:38,018
Talk to you later, Lisa.
277
00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:39,541
You bet.
278
00:12:41,021 --> 00:12:43,197
I'm not sure if I'm on
his good side or his bad side.
279
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,851
Oh, I wouldn't
think too much on it.
280
00:12:44,894 --> 00:12:47,984
Thomas is a hard one
to read, he can be rough
281
00:12:48,028 --> 00:12:49,943
around the edges,
but he grows on you.
282
00:12:49,986 --> 00:12:51,727
You'll have plenty
of time to figure it out.
283
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:53,076
He's joining the fray.
284
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,338
Really?
285
00:12:54,382 --> 00:12:55,949
Does that have anything to do
286
00:12:55,992 --> 00:12:57,820
with you meeting
with the Judicial Committee?
287
00:12:57,864 --> 00:13:00,562
News certainly travels
fast, but no, it doesn't.
288
00:13:01,345 --> 00:13:06,437
Just be conservative in your
rulings in the next few weeks.
289
00:13:06,481 --> 00:13:08,831
- What does that even mean?
- Corinne Cuthbert challenging
290
00:13:08,875 --> 00:13:11,399
your seat puts you
on an elevated stage.
291
00:13:11,442 --> 00:13:13,270
Even more eyes are on you.
292
00:13:13,314 --> 00:13:14,924
Including Judge Marshall.
293
00:13:14,968 --> 00:13:16,534
All I'm asking
is for you to park
294
00:13:16,578 --> 00:13:18,319
the Lola-coaster temporarily.
295
00:13:18,362 --> 00:13:20,538
You face the fire,
rose to the occasion
296
00:13:20,582 --> 00:13:22,149
and came out
of it smelling like a...
297
00:13:23,324 --> 00:13:24,412
petunia.
298
00:13:26,718 --> 00:13:27,807
Don't push it.
299
00:13:31,723 --> 00:13:35,162
In my courtroom, there
will be no talking, no eating.
300
00:13:35,205 --> 00:13:38,556
Phones must
be turned off or on silent.
301
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,168
Take a seat.
Be right back.
302
00:13:43,431 --> 00:13:44,606
Maggie.
303
00:13:45,825 --> 00:13:48,175
You cannot
keep denying my client.
304
00:13:48,218 --> 00:13:49,611
You're the one
denying your client Watkins.
305
00:13:49,654 --> 00:13:51,526
You still
haven't made me an offer.
306
00:13:51,569 --> 00:13:53,136
- Assault by means of force.
- Are you kidding me?
307
00:13:53,180 --> 00:13:55,312
The great bodily
injury suffered by the victim?
308
00:13:55,356 --> 00:13:59,273
The kid can either get a PC211
robbery or a PC245 with GBI.
309
00:13:59,316 --> 00:14:00,840
Either way, it's a strike.
310
00:14:00,883 --> 00:14:02,015
Maggie, It was
an isolated incident.
311
00:14:02,058 --> 00:14:03,843
What happened was an accident.
312
00:14:03,886 --> 00:14:05,453
I already told you,
Watkins, I'm not going along--
313
00:14:07,585 --> 00:14:09,674
Whoa, wait, Maggie,
314
00:14:09,718 --> 00:14:11,459
did you just growl at me?
315
00:14:11,502 --> 00:14:12,982
You're not
gonna listen to reason?
316
00:14:13,026 --> 00:14:14,505
Mr. Watkins looks
like you're the winner
317
00:14:14,549 --> 00:14:16,333
and the first
person to break my rules.
318
00:14:16,377 --> 00:14:18,466
Let's hear
it for Mr. Watkins, everybody.
319
00:14:21,556 --> 00:14:24,602
All rise,
court is now in session.
320
00:14:24,646 --> 00:14:27,605
Honorable Lola Carmichael,
judge presiding.
321
00:14:29,912 --> 00:14:33,176
Miss Sara Castillo,
if you would've bet me
322
00:14:33,220 --> 00:14:35,004
a year ago that we'd
been working together
323
00:14:35,048 --> 00:14:36,963
in the DA's office,
I would have lost my shirt.
324
00:14:37,006 --> 00:14:38,921
Know what you're
getting yourself into?
325
00:14:38,965 --> 00:14:40,923
I finished my training,
I've shadowed a few victims
326
00:14:40,967 --> 00:14:45,319
advocates, and I know the job's
not easy, but I am looking
327
00:14:45,362 --> 00:14:47,669
forward to helping victims
and witnesses become survivors.
328
00:14:47,712 --> 00:14:50,541
That's the right attitude, just
like your best friend, Lopez.
329
00:14:51,107 --> 00:14:52,152
Welcome.
330
00:14:52,195 --> 00:14:53,675
So do I get an office?
331
00:14:53,718 --> 00:14:57,461
Desk.
Take your pick.
332
00:14:57,505 --> 00:14:59,550
Ah ha, okay.
333
00:14:59,594 --> 00:15:01,422
Maybe I should
find my first assignment.
334
00:15:01,465 --> 00:15:04,251
Tricia Ornelas her dad
was left in a coma after
335
00:15:04,294 --> 00:15:05,861
a smash and grab
in their family-owned
336
00:15:05,905 --> 00:15:08,559
sneaker store,
and Maggie is the DDA.
337
00:15:08,603 --> 00:15:10,605
She's already in 802. Good luck.
338
00:15:11,649 --> 00:15:12,955
Thank you.
339
00:15:13,782 --> 00:15:15,305
Get it!
Let's go! Let's go!
340
00:15:17,307 --> 00:15:18,395
Dad!
341
00:15:18,439 --> 00:15:19,614
Come on, let's go!
342
00:15:19,962 --> 00:15:21,007
Dad!
343
00:15:21,703 --> 00:15:22,747
Go! Go!
344
00:15:24,053 --> 00:15:26,534
Now, Miss Ornelas,
is the person who violently
345
00:15:26,577 --> 00:15:28,405
pushed down
your father in this room?
346
00:15:28,449 --> 00:15:30,320
Yes.
Can you point him out?
347
00:15:30,364 --> 00:15:32,148
He's right there at the table,
wearing the gray vest.
348
00:15:32,192 --> 00:15:33,715
Identifying the defendant.
349
00:15:33,758 --> 00:15:35,064
No further
questions, Your Honor.
350
00:15:35,108 --> 00:15:36,283
Mr. Watkins.
351
00:15:40,678 --> 00:15:42,202
You said my
client was wearing a mask?
352
00:15:42,245 --> 00:15:43,943
- Yeah.
- And a hoodie,
353
00:15:44,204 --> 00:15:46,162
- with the hood pulled up, right?
- Yeah.
354
00:15:46,206 --> 00:15:48,121
So are you saying that
you can identify my client
355
00:15:48,164 --> 00:15:51,298
even though his face
was hidden by a mask and hoodie?
356
00:15:51,341 --> 00:15:53,300
- No, uh, what I'm trying to--
- Thank you miss Ornelas.
357
00:15:53,343 --> 00:15:55,911
Mr. Watkins, I don't
believe the witness
358
00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:58,218
was finished answering
your previous question.
359
00:15:58,261 --> 00:16:00,655
Miss Ornelas, please continue.
360
00:16:01,656 --> 00:16:05,007
What I was trying
to say is that they scuffled.
361
00:16:05,051 --> 00:16:06,966
My father grabbed him
and pulled down his mask.
362
00:16:07,009 --> 00:16:08,706
That's when I saw his face.
363
00:16:13,276 --> 00:16:14,712
No further questions Your Honor.
364
00:16:28,552 --> 00:16:29,989
- What is this?
- My hours.
365
00:16:30,032 --> 00:16:31,773
I'm not
yet a salaried employee.
366
00:16:31,816 --> 00:16:32,904
You're also not an attorney.
367
00:16:33,209 --> 00:16:34,863
What, you're
asking for overtime?
368
00:16:34,906 --> 00:16:36,343
I ordered and made
sure all the furniture
369
00:16:36,386 --> 00:16:37,909
was delivered
to every office, updated
370
00:16:37,953 --> 00:16:39,911
the website,
and updated future events.
371
00:16:39,955 --> 00:16:41,957
- I've been busting my butt.
- It's called, paying your dues.
372
00:16:42,218 --> 00:16:44,003
- Not overtime.
- In my world, I like to call
373
00:16:44,046 --> 00:16:46,483
- them expandable hours.
- And I appreciate every
374
00:16:46,527 --> 00:16:48,833
expandable hour you
have committed to this firm.
375
00:16:48,877 --> 00:16:51,619
And since Rachel's been gone
you have been an absolute asset.
376
00:16:51,662 --> 00:16:53,186
Now we're talking.
377
00:16:53,229 --> 00:16:55,014
But, practicing law,
billable hours will come
378
00:16:55,057 --> 00:16:57,233
to you after
you pass the bar and get
379
00:16:57,277 --> 00:16:59,061
hired to work
here as an attorney.
380
00:16:59,105 --> 00:17:02,325
In the meantime,
if you don't mind.
381
00:17:04,371 --> 00:17:05,459
All of this?
382
00:17:06,329 --> 00:17:07,417
Please and thank you.
383
00:17:15,164 --> 00:17:16,731
Your Honor, the people called--
384
00:17:24,869 --> 00:17:26,784
No, no, no!
385
00:17:26,828 --> 00:17:28,569
- Miss Palmer?
- Your Honor,
386
00:17:28,612 --> 00:17:30,179
I'm sorry to say Mr. Ornelas
387
00:17:30,223 --> 00:17:32,051
has succumbed to his
injuries and has died.
388
00:17:32,094 --> 00:17:34,096
Due to the change
in circumstances.
389
00:17:34,140 --> 00:17:36,011
The people will be dismissing
this complaint and refiling--
390
00:17:36,055 --> 00:17:38,666
- Objection Your Honor!
- Adding murder and violation
391
00:17:38,709 --> 00:17:40,450
of penal code section 187a.
392
00:17:40,494 --> 00:17:43,062
- Mr. Watkins?
- I ask that the case
393
00:17:43,105 --> 00:17:44,846
be dismissed, that the defendant
be remanded
394
00:17:44,889 --> 00:17:47,066
And bail set at 2 million,
and that he be ordered
395
00:17:47,109 --> 00:17:48,719
forthwith
to the arraignment court.
396
00:17:48,763 --> 00:17:50,895
Your Honor may
I confer with my client?
397
00:17:50,939 --> 00:17:53,768
Do that in arraignment court.
Ms. Palmer, restrain yourself.
398
00:17:54,551 --> 00:17:56,771
Previously posted
bond is exonerated.
399
00:17:56,814 --> 00:17:59,034
The defendant
is remanded into the custody
400
00:17:59,078 --> 00:18:00,818
of the sheriff's department.
401
00:18:00,862 --> 00:18:03,038
Hold on, I was only 17,
how can I go to jail?
402
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:05,084
- What?!
- What did you just say?
403
00:18:05,127 --> 00:18:07,216
Your Honor I need time
to confirm that this is true.
404
00:18:07,260 --> 00:18:08,957
- Your Honor the people will--
- Ms. Palmer,
405
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,002
I will consider
the people's motion to dismiss
406
00:18:11,046 --> 00:18:14,702
and refile murder charges if
the defense is unable to prove
407
00:18:14,745 --> 00:18:18,140
by a preponderance
of the evidence that Mr. Paolo
408
00:18:18,184 --> 00:18:20,360
was, in fact, a juvenile
at the time of the offense.
409
00:18:20,403 --> 00:18:22,231
Your Honor, this is just a ploy!
410
00:18:22,275 --> 00:18:24,625
Mr. Watkins, I need to
see proof of your client's age.
411
00:18:27,193 --> 00:18:29,543
Due to the change in
circumstances, I will be
412
00:18:29,586 --> 00:18:34,069
remanding Mr. Paolo
and increasing bail to $500,000.
413
00:18:52,783 --> 00:18:55,699
Judge Carmichael, kudos on
your epic comeback from behind.
414
00:18:55,743 --> 00:18:57,832
- Hello Jonas.
- And I thought you were a goner.
415
00:18:57,875 --> 00:18:59,834
- Glad to prove you wrong.
- Me too.
416
00:18:59,877 --> 00:19:02,184
Your support throughout
my campaign did surprise me.
417
00:19:02,228 --> 00:19:04,186
Oh well, someone
comes for a judge's seat,
418
00:19:04,230 --> 00:19:05,666
it's as if they're
coming for us all.
419
00:19:05,709 --> 00:19:07,233
And here
I thought I was special.
420
00:19:07,276 --> 00:19:08,973
Well, you can
go on thinking that,
421
00:19:09,017 --> 00:19:11,193
from now on,
it's back to business as usual.
422
00:19:14,283 --> 00:19:16,024
What can you tell me about him?
423
00:19:16,067 --> 00:19:17,895
Judge Marshall? Not much.
424
00:19:18,548 --> 00:19:21,203
Rumor is that he's
even more conservative than I,
425
00:19:21,247 --> 00:19:23,292
which makes sense that
he would be interested in you.
426
00:19:23,336 --> 00:19:24,424
What makes you say that?
427
00:19:24,467 --> 00:19:25,555
He's heading this way.
428
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,471
Hello, Judge Carmichael.
429
00:19:28,515 --> 00:19:30,299
- Judge Marshall.
- I heard that the defendant
430
00:19:30,343 --> 00:19:32,954
in your courtroom
is possibly a minor.
431
00:19:32,997 --> 00:19:36,697
I would have to see
irrefutable proof before
432
00:19:36,740 --> 00:19:38,351
dismissing
the adult court action.
433
00:19:38,394 --> 00:19:40,135
It seems we think alike.
434
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:42,920
I will only certify
the case to juvenile court
435
00:19:42,964 --> 00:19:45,532
if the defense proves
he was a minor.
436
00:19:47,490 --> 00:19:48,578
Interesting.
437
00:19:54,715 --> 00:19:56,630
Oh, ho, ho,
this is going to be fun.
438
00:19:59,502 --> 00:20:01,548
Who tells the cops they're 18
439
00:20:01,591 --> 00:20:03,463
when they're
actually a juvenile?
440
00:20:03,506 --> 00:20:05,204
I just didn't want
them calling my foster mom,
441
00:20:05,247 --> 00:20:06,857
because she's got
enough to deal with.
442
00:20:06,901 --> 00:20:08,642
Me and my brothers,
we bounced around.
443
00:20:08,685 --> 00:20:10,644
Her house was the first
one that felt like a home.
444
00:20:10,687 --> 00:20:12,733
You knew, if they
thought you were an adult,
445
00:20:12,776 --> 00:20:14,517
- they wouldn't call.
- I just didn't think
446
00:20:14,561 --> 00:20:15,997
lying about
my age was a big deal.
447
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,564
You gotta get me out of here.
448
00:20:17,607 --> 00:20:19,261
Well, do you have
someone that can pay bail?
449
00:20:19,305 --> 00:20:20,871
No. No.
450
00:20:20,915 --> 00:20:22,221
We need to prove your age.
451
00:20:25,180 --> 00:20:26,225
So I got to stay here?
452
00:20:27,748 --> 00:20:31,099
Until I get proof, you stay.
453
00:20:47,942 --> 00:20:51,772
They're asking
insurance, arrangements.
454
00:20:51,815 --> 00:20:53,252
I can help you talk to them.
455
00:20:53,295 --> 00:20:55,210
Help you
with seeking restitution
456
00:20:55,254 --> 00:20:56,733
and finding other resources.
457
00:20:56,777 --> 00:20:58,257
I thought
he was going to wake up,
458
00:20:59,736 --> 00:21:01,564
and this whole
nightmare would be over.
459
00:21:10,051 --> 00:21:12,227
It was hard enough
losing my mother to COVID,
460
00:21:12,749 --> 00:21:15,317
now I lose my father
to some senseless robbery.
461
00:21:15,361 --> 00:21:16,579
I know exactly how you feel.
462
00:21:16,623 --> 00:21:18,146
You lost a parent too?
463
00:21:19,147 --> 00:21:20,235
No.
464
00:21:21,497 --> 00:21:23,934
You know nothing
of how I feel, Ms. Castillo.
465
00:21:27,155 --> 00:21:28,809
- You're right.
- I want that asshole
466
00:21:28,852 --> 00:21:31,115
to pay for what
he took from my family.
467
00:21:32,943 --> 00:21:35,990
Juvie is too easy,
I want his life for my father's.
468
00:21:44,781 --> 00:21:46,696
- You're suing me?
- Not you. The firm.
469
00:21:46,740 --> 00:21:48,829
Wow, that got here
a lot faster than I expected.
470
00:21:48,872 --> 00:21:50,526
Have you lost your mind?
471
00:21:50,570 --> 00:21:52,485
This is not how
you treat people who are
472
00:21:52,528 --> 00:21:55,052
in the position to hire you
or recommend you elsewhere.
473
00:21:55,096 --> 00:21:57,403
And though I commend
you for the strategic move,
474
00:21:57,446 --> 00:21:59,579
I would like
for you to point your powers
475
00:21:59,622 --> 00:22:01,407
for bad away from this firm.
476
00:22:01,450 --> 00:22:03,713
It's just a small little
lawsuit, the firm can handle it.
477
00:22:15,595 --> 00:22:17,248
- Lisa!
- Carmichael.
478
00:22:17,292 --> 00:22:19,381
- How is it being back?
- Enlightening.
479
00:22:19,425 --> 00:22:21,252
Talk to me
about Judge Thomas Marshall.
480
00:22:21,296 --> 00:22:23,864
- Has he said or done anything?
- No, not exactly.
481
00:22:23,907 --> 00:22:26,388
But my gut is telling
me that I'm suddenly being
482
00:22:26,432 --> 00:22:28,129
- watched from within.
- News Flash Carmichael:
483
00:22:28,172 --> 00:22:30,087
you've been watched since
the moment you first took
484
00:22:30,131 --> 00:22:31,567
your seat on the bench.
485
00:22:31,611 --> 00:22:33,134
He quizzed me
on my recent case.
486
00:22:33,177 --> 00:22:34,483
- He's testing you.
- Why?
487
00:22:34,527 --> 00:22:37,704
What are
you not telling me? Lisa?
488
00:22:44,014 --> 00:22:45,842
She's being so entitled.
489
00:22:45,886 --> 00:22:47,453
You've got to ask
yourself two questions.
490
00:22:47,496 --> 00:22:49,324
Does she bring
value to the company?
491
00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:51,587
And with Rachel gone,
does she make your job easier?
492
00:22:51,631 --> 00:22:53,502
Yes and yes.
493
00:22:53,546 --> 00:22:55,852
But that does not give her
the right to sue the company.
494
00:22:55,896 --> 00:22:58,246
Maybe I should sue
you for a wedding date.
495
00:22:58,289 --> 00:23:00,814
Amy for real.
What is the hold-up?
496
00:23:00,857 --> 00:23:03,077
I mean.
Is it still Collier?
497
00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:05,166
Don't start with Collier.
498
00:23:05,209 --> 00:23:10,476
Maybe I should talk to him,
just fiancé to husband.
499
00:23:10,519 --> 00:23:13,783
Stay away, Callan, he has
enough to deal with medically.
500
00:23:14,131 --> 00:23:17,483
Let me just get the firm
back on its feet and then I will
501
00:23:17,526 --> 00:23:20,268
turn my attention
back to the wedding, okay?
502
00:23:23,314 --> 00:23:24,490
Let me get my stuff.
503
00:23:24,533 --> 00:23:27,536
♪ True
504
00:23:28,102 --> 00:23:31,061
♪ You've gotta keep
that guy you've got ♪
505
00:23:31,105 --> 00:23:34,064
I just think people are never
going to stop coming for me.
506
00:23:34,108 --> 00:23:35,849
Now I got judges testing me.
507
00:23:36,458 --> 00:23:37,807
I think you're
being paranoid, baby.
508
00:23:39,287 --> 00:23:40,680
After everything
I've been through,
509
00:23:40,723 --> 00:23:41,811
you're calling me paranoid?
510
00:23:41,855 --> 00:23:43,247
Are you tired of fighting?
511
00:23:43,813 --> 00:23:46,686
That's the question
that you have to ask yourself.
512
00:23:47,164 --> 00:23:50,429
Which side of the line
are you going to stand on?
513
00:23:53,823 --> 00:23:55,608
Just last night,
we were going to pick up
514
00:23:55,651 --> 00:23:58,001
Bailey and go
start a whole new life
515
00:23:58,045 --> 00:23:59,438
somewhere else.
516
00:24:00,351 --> 00:24:02,789
If that's what you want to do
I'm still down.
517
00:24:06,314 --> 00:24:11,275
Look at you,
with the sage wisdom.
518
00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:14,409
Is my sage
wisdom turning you on?
519
00:24:14,453 --> 00:24:16,019
Because that's
what I need the answer to.
520
00:24:16,063 --> 00:24:17,673
Ooh, a little bit, ooh!
521
00:24:23,026 --> 00:24:25,246
Em... no.
522
00:24:27,509 --> 00:24:28,641
Hey, Watkins.
523
00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:32,122
Tomorrow's
another day, you know?
524
00:24:32,166 --> 00:24:33,646
I'm not sure
that'll make a difference.
525
00:24:33,689 --> 00:24:35,343
Are we talking
about the case or--
526
00:24:35,386 --> 00:24:37,214
It's okay, you can say her name.
527
00:24:37,258 --> 00:24:38,346
I miss Emily being around too.
528
00:24:38,738 --> 00:24:40,304
But there's
a reason why I have
529
00:24:40,348 --> 00:24:41,567
bad bitch on my nameplate.
530
00:24:41,610 --> 00:24:43,438
Your nameplate does not say--
531
00:24:43,482 --> 00:24:46,136
Well, in my mind it does.
And it should in yours too.
532
00:24:46,180 --> 00:24:47,747
So how's it going?
533
00:24:47,790 --> 00:24:49,183
I'm hoping that
my client isn't staring
534
00:24:49,226 --> 00:24:51,054
down 25 years to life in prison.
535
00:24:52,099 --> 00:24:54,493
Yes.
Miles' birth certificate.
536
00:24:54,536 --> 00:24:56,103
Is it the original?
537
00:24:56,146 --> 00:24:58,061
That will take
too long, he's a foster kid.
538
00:24:58,105 --> 00:24:59,933
Fingers crossed they accept
the copy and that your kid
539
00:24:59,976 --> 00:25:02,022
gets sent to juvenile
court and not tried as an adult.
540
00:25:09,595 --> 00:25:10,639
Mr. Watkins.
541
00:25:12,423 --> 00:25:13,555
Um.
542
00:25:15,209 --> 00:25:17,820
Your Honor, this is a photocopy
of Miles' birth certificate.
543
00:25:17,864 --> 00:25:19,866
I object to anything
that's not an original document.
544
00:25:19,909 --> 00:25:21,215
I've got
the original right here.
545
00:25:21,258 --> 00:25:22,956
Mama Shelton, Why are you here?
546
00:25:23,957 --> 00:25:25,611
Miles, it's okay,
everything's going to be okay.
547
00:25:25,654 --> 00:25:27,351
I asked you not to call her.
548
00:25:27,395 --> 00:25:29,049
I've got his ID, too.
549
00:25:29,092 --> 00:25:30,485
Thank you, you can have a seat.
550
00:25:36,883 --> 00:25:38,232
Thank you, Burke.
551
00:25:40,843 --> 00:25:43,106
This appears
to be an original copy
552
00:25:43,150 --> 00:25:45,108
of the defendant's
birth certificate showing
553
00:25:45,152 --> 00:25:48,938
Mr. Paolo indeed turned
18 after the alleged incident.
554
00:25:49,678 --> 00:25:51,375
Ms. Palmer,
any objections?
555
00:25:51,419 --> 00:25:52,551
No objection, Your Honor.
556
00:25:54,117 --> 00:25:58,165
However, that does not
end the jurisdictional analysis.
557
00:25:58,208 --> 00:26:00,210
This is a copy
of the incident recall
558
00:26:00,254 --> 00:26:02,038
report from
the LAPD that shows that
559
00:26:02,082 --> 00:26:04,258
the incident
was ongoing past midnight
560
00:26:04,301 --> 00:26:07,000
when the defendant
was legally an adult.
561
00:26:07,043 --> 00:26:12,527
The victim's daughter
called 911 at 12:07 a.m.
562
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:15,312
and stated that
the suspects had just fled
563
00:26:15,356 --> 00:26:17,837
in a vehicle
and provided the plate number.
564
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:23,799
This means that Mr. Paolo
was 17 when the incident began
565
00:26:23,843 --> 00:26:26,410
and turned
18 in the middle of it.
566
00:26:26,454 --> 00:26:27,934
Is that your
understanding, Mr. Watkins?
567
00:26:36,377 --> 00:26:39,293
Your Honor,
the complaint in this case
568
00:26:39,336 --> 00:26:40,903
alleges that
the date of the incident
569
00:26:40,947 --> 00:26:42,862
was the day before
my client turned 18.
570
00:26:42,905 --> 00:26:45,647
That means he was 17 on the date
of the alleged incident.
571
00:26:45,691 --> 00:26:47,127
- Ms. Palmer?
- The people will be amending
572
00:26:47,170 --> 00:26:48,694
the complaint
to reflect the fact
573
00:26:48,737 --> 00:26:50,913
that the incident
spanned two calendar days.
574
00:26:50,957 --> 00:26:53,481
Council you are both
ordered to find authority
575
00:26:53,524 --> 00:26:56,702
for your respective
positions and brief the issue.
576
00:26:57,180 --> 00:26:59,748
For now, I'm going to suspend
proceedings in this matter
577
00:26:59,792 --> 00:27:02,621
until we resolve
the jurisdictional issue.
578
00:27:09,715 --> 00:27:10,933
Hang in there.
579
00:27:21,117 --> 00:27:22,553
You've both
made it clear that I'm not
580
00:27:22,597 --> 00:27:24,033
an attorney,
but that does make me
581
00:27:24,077 --> 00:27:25,513
a non-salaried
employee of this firm.
582
00:27:25,556 --> 00:27:27,950
Thus I am
entitled to overtime pay.
583
00:27:27,994 --> 00:27:30,997
Under FLAS and California
law, as a professional,
584
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,173
you are not
entitled to overtime pay.
585
00:27:33,216 --> 00:27:34,914
You have made
it clear that I'm not
586
00:27:34,957 --> 00:27:37,525
a professional,
so you can pay me accordingly.
587
00:27:37,568 --> 00:27:40,223
Well, uh, uh--
Amy, your turn.
588
00:27:40,267 --> 00:27:41,485
Uh--
589
00:27:43,052 --> 00:27:45,011
We will discuss amongst the two
of us and get back to you.
590
00:27:46,055 --> 00:27:47,274
Thanks for hearing me out.
591
00:27:50,364 --> 00:27:51,931
The audacity.
592
00:27:51,974 --> 00:27:54,020
She is good.
593
00:27:54,498 --> 00:27:56,500
Going to make a damn
good attorney one day.
594
00:27:56,544 --> 00:27:58,981
Agreed.
So what do we do?
595
00:27:59,025 --> 00:28:01,636
I'm going to leave
it in your very capable hands.
596
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,246
Just deal with her,
Amy Quinn style.
597
00:28:03,290 --> 00:28:04,465
She'll get the message.
598
00:28:07,773 --> 00:28:09,470
I'm assuming
you know something I don't,
599
00:28:09,513 --> 00:28:10,863
which is fine,
you're the supervising judge.
600
00:28:10,906 --> 00:28:12,516
It is your right.
601
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,388
But if it has
anything to do with me,
602
00:28:14,431 --> 00:28:16,390
give me a heads up,
because I don't like surprises.
603
00:28:16,433 --> 00:28:18,174
Most surprises at least.
604
00:28:18,218 --> 00:28:20,481
I've been designated
to the Court of Appeal.
605
00:28:21,961 --> 00:28:23,049
That's it.
606
00:28:25,094 --> 00:28:28,402
Don't get me wrong, Lisa!
This is huge!
607
00:28:28,445 --> 00:28:31,231
Congratulations.
But why wouldn't you tell me?
608
00:28:31,274 --> 00:28:33,363
I hadn't decided
to take it just yet.
609
00:28:33,407 --> 00:28:36,715
It means that
I no longer will be
610
00:28:37,585 --> 00:28:40,588
with the HOJ
and working with all of you.
611
00:28:40,631 --> 00:28:43,069
And frankly, it gives me pause.
612
00:28:43,112 --> 00:28:44,984
But it is a huge opportunity.
613
00:28:45,027 --> 00:28:46,899
Oh, it's what I worked for.
614
00:28:46,942 --> 00:28:49,379
I mean, your decisions
can become opinions.
615
00:28:49,423 --> 00:28:50,903
And if those
opinions are published,
616
00:28:50,946 --> 00:28:52,295
you get to establish law.
617
00:28:52,339 --> 00:28:54,297
- I know.
- So what's the problem?
618
00:28:54,341 --> 00:28:56,647
It just isn't
the best time to be leaving.
619
00:28:56,691 --> 00:29:00,260
And Judge Marshall
is in the running to...
620
00:29:01,174 --> 00:29:04,743
take over the supervising
judgeship, as is Lasky.
621
00:29:06,266 --> 00:29:07,484
Wow.
622
00:29:07,528 --> 00:29:09,748
Oh, you've come against worse.
623
00:29:09,791 --> 00:29:11,532
Yeah, I barely
eked out this win.
624
00:29:11,575 --> 00:29:12,838
But you did.
625
00:29:12,881 --> 00:29:14,796
You won.
626
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,190
Yet you still feel the need
to be a buffer for me here.
627
00:29:17,233 --> 00:29:21,411
You've come up
to the challenge every time.
628
00:29:21,455 --> 00:29:23,892
Even pushing
back as you're doing
629
00:29:23,936 --> 00:29:26,416
right now with me, to do better.
630
00:29:26,721 --> 00:29:29,419
And now it's time
for you to show them
631
00:29:29,463 --> 00:29:32,248
what you showed me
these past couple of years.
632
00:29:37,166 --> 00:29:39,125
Why you've won.
633
00:29:44,043 --> 00:29:45,653
'Lo, will you slow down?
634
00:29:46,697 --> 00:29:48,525
Where the hell are we?
635
00:29:48,569 --> 00:29:50,571
Old tunnels underneath
the courthouse. Doesn't matter.
636
00:29:50,614 --> 00:29:52,268
Give me the goods on Marshall.
637
00:29:52,312 --> 00:29:54,357
For starters,
he makes Lasky look like RBG.
638
00:29:54,401 --> 00:29:56,359
He is cut and dry
when it comes to the law.
639
00:29:56,403 --> 00:30:00,189
He never wavers. Ever.
Why so interested in Marshall?
640
00:30:00,233 --> 00:30:02,844
Because I am pretty sure
he is going to become my boss.
641
00:30:02,888 --> 00:30:04,585
- Where's Benner going?
- Court of Appeal.
642
00:30:05,238 --> 00:30:07,153
So, how's your thing going?
643
00:30:07,196 --> 00:30:10,286
It's not. I've got Maggie Palmer
and Burger smiling at me
644
00:30:10,330 --> 00:30:13,855
with daggers for teeth, they
want Choi's job in a bad way.
645
00:30:13,899 --> 00:30:15,074
Any ideas?
646
00:30:15,117 --> 00:30:16,510
- Yeah, you take it.
- No!
647
00:30:18,077 --> 00:30:19,905
No, no, no, no, I am a lone
wolf, not a manager of folk.
648
00:30:19,948 --> 00:30:21,820
Mark, come on,
let's be honest, you are more
649
00:30:21,863 --> 00:30:24,866
of a domesticated cat
than lone wolf.
650
00:30:24,910 --> 00:30:26,912
Now how the hell
do we get out of here?
651
00:30:57,029 --> 00:30:58,726
Oh, my God!
652
00:31:04,036 --> 00:31:05,907
I can't-- I just
can't believe you're here.
653
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,258
I hope that Puerto Rico was
all that you dreamed and more.
654
00:31:09,868 --> 00:31:11,608
Honestly, I really don't care.
655
00:31:11,652 --> 00:31:13,915
Don't get me wrong,
Luke, Andy, the others,
656
00:31:13,959 --> 00:31:15,786
they have really
been pulling their weight.
657
00:31:16,352 --> 00:31:18,485
Especially Luke,
he really surprised me.
658
00:31:18,528 --> 00:31:20,269
- Carol?
- Yes. Luke missed you.
659
00:31:20,313 --> 00:31:22,054
Of course, he'd never admit it,
660
00:31:22,097 --> 00:31:23,925
basically threw
himself into work.
661
00:31:23,969 --> 00:31:25,927
That's what I love about
you, Lopez, your doggedness.
662
00:31:25,971 --> 00:31:27,668
In and out of the courtroom.
663
00:31:27,711 --> 00:31:29,931
You're barely back
and here you are ready to--
664
00:31:29,975 --> 00:31:31,237
- Leave.
- What?
665
00:31:31,759 --> 00:31:32,847
I'm leaving.
666
00:31:33,152 --> 00:31:34,327
To go where?
667
00:31:35,023 --> 00:31:37,112
To-- Look, don't.
668
00:31:39,419 --> 00:31:42,074
To practice holistic law.
669
00:31:42,117 --> 00:31:46,513
Really helping clients
beyond just their immediate
670
00:31:46,556 --> 00:31:49,429
legal needs, helping
them find creative, constructive
671
00:31:49,472 --> 00:31:51,605
solutions to whatever
isn't working in their lives.
672
00:31:51,648 --> 00:31:54,695
And then, and then helping them
navigate through all of that.
673
00:31:54,738 --> 00:31:56,436
- You can do that here.
- I can't.
674
00:31:56,479 --> 00:32:00,005
Not with 50 to 100 clients
at any given moment.
675
00:32:00,048 --> 00:32:02,442
I-- I can't.
676
00:32:02,485 --> 00:32:04,139
Where will you go?
677
00:32:04,183 --> 00:32:06,881
I have no idea.
Which makes me really excited,
678
00:32:08,013 --> 00:32:10,319
and scared at the same time.
679
00:32:10,363 --> 00:32:11,755
Both.
680
00:32:12,191 --> 00:32:13,975
But if the last six
months have taught me anything
681
00:32:14,019 --> 00:32:17,370
it's that whatever
happens, I will be okay.
682
00:32:24,812 --> 00:32:26,422
You always have a job here.
683
00:32:27,510 --> 00:32:29,034
You're a tremendous, boss.
684
00:32:34,953 --> 00:32:35,997
Really?
685
00:32:36,041 --> 00:32:37,129
Yeah.
686
00:32:37,738 --> 00:32:39,131
How soon do you have to leave?
687
00:32:39,174 --> 00:32:40,349
Effective immediately.
688
00:32:43,700 --> 00:32:48,879
But there's someone
I have to see first. So, yeah.
689
00:32:59,151 --> 00:33:01,240
- Where's Ms. Palmer?
- I needed to talk to you first.
690
00:33:01,283 --> 00:33:04,156
Mr. Watkins! Come back
when you have Ms. Palmer.
691
00:33:04,199 --> 00:33:05,722
This kid is not
a hardened criminal.
692
00:33:05,766 --> 00:33:07,289
He made a mistake.
693
00:33:07,333 --> 00:33:08,987
One plus one
equals three is a mistake.
694
00:33:09,030 --> 00:33:10,510
Intentionally robbing a store
695
00:33:10,553 --> 00:33:12,860
resulting in
a man's death is a felony.
696
00:33:12,903 --> 00:33:15,036
- Goodbye, Mr. Watkins.
- Can you--
697
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,820
Do not start
a sentence with "can I."
698
00:33:16,864 --> 00:33:19,475
- I do what the law tells me.
- Sometimes you try--
699
00:33:19,519 --> 00:33:21,129
I try to sometimes
do what others don't.
700
00:33:21,173 --> 00:33:24,002
I try to give everyone
a fair crack at the law.
701
00:33:24,045 --> 00:33:26,439
And I try to judge
without prejudice or bias
702
00:33:26,482 --> 00:33:29,703
which is why I can't
have ex-parte communications
703
00:33:29,746 --> 00:33:33,924
with lawyers.
Now go, Mr. Watkins.
704
00:33:33,968 --> 00:33:35,013
Yes, Your Honor.
705
00:33:39,234 --> 00:33:42,977
The law draws
a bright line and states
706
00:33:43,021 --> 00:33:44,674
that a person's
birth date is deemed
707
00:33:44,718 --> 00:33:47,503
to be midnight
on the date of their birth.
708
00:33:47,982 --> 00:33:50,811
However, the facts
of this case blur that line.
709
00:33:51,290 --> 00:33:55,120
Upon review of the surveillance
video introduced by the people,
710
00:33:55,163 --> 00:33:58,514
the shove that
resulted in the death
711
00:33:58,558 --> 00:34:02,170
of the decedent
occurred at 11:58 p.m.,
712
00:34:02,431 --> 00:34:08,176
which is before
Mr. Paolo was legally an adult.
713
00:34:08,220 --> 00:34:10,396
Under these
circumstances, I believe
714
00:34:10,439 --> 00:34:13,747
that the gravamen
of the alleged offense
715
00:34:13,790 --> 00:34:16,228
occurred while
Mr. Paolo was still a minor.
716
00:34:16,706 --> 00:34:19,187
Therefore, I believe
fundamental fairness requires
717
00:34:19,231 --> 00:34:23,713
that this case be
certified to juvenile court.
718
00:34:23,757 --> 00:34:25,889
Ms. Palmer,
if the people wish to try
719
00:34:25,933 --> 00:34:28,936
Mr. Paolo as an adult,
they are free to file
720
00:34:28,979 --> 00:34:31,069
a transfer motion
in juvenile court.
721
00:34:31,112 --> 00:34:33,897
Your Honor, I'd like
to state for the record
722
00:34:34,333 --> 00:34:36,422
that I will definitely
be pushing my office
723
00:34:36,465 --> 00:34:38,032
to file a transfer
motion in this case.
724
00:34:38,467 --> 00:34:40,078
What does that mean?
725
00:34:40,121 --> 00:34:42,515
It means, Mr. Paolo,
that if it were solely up
726
00:34:42,558 --> 00:34:46,519
to me to decide whether
to transfer you to adult court
727
00:34:46,562 --> 00:34:51,480
to face 25 years
to life or be released at 25,
728
00:34:51,524 --> 00:34:54,962
frankly, I don't
know what I would do,
729
00:34:55,005 --> 00:34:58,444
contrary to what some
people in this room may believe.
730
00:35:00,968 --> 00:35:04,972
Powerful consequences
for such a dire decision.
731
00:35:05,015 --> 00:35:06,408
Learn from it.
732
00:35:11,500 --> 00:35:12,675
I'm so sorry.
733
00:35:48,407 --> 00:35:50,322
- What's this?
- An order of summary
734
00:35:50,365 --> 00:35:52,150
judgment
dismissing your lawsuit.
735
00:35:52,541 --> 00:35:54,674
Well, you
failed to exhaust admin
736
00:35:54,717 --> 00:35:56,719
remedies before
the California Labor Commission.
737
00:35:56,763 --> 00:35:58,634
Okay, well then I'll just--
738
00:35:58,678 --> 00:36:01,246
Claims typically go first
through the labor commission.
739
00:36:01,289 --> 00:36:02,899
- How long does that take?
- Over six months.
740
00:36:02,943 --> 00:36:04,597
The alternative would be for you
741
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,817
to just be a salaried
professional at the firm.
742
00:36:07,861 --> 00:36:09,906
We can hire
you as a paralegal while
743
00:36:09,950 --> 00:36:11,343
you await your bar results.
744
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,085
Well, let me
know what you decide.
745
00:36:23,703 --> 00:36:26,401
Come on, come on!
746
00:36:26,923 --> 00:36:28,969
Oh!
747
00:36:29,012 --> 00:36:33,539
You did not
have to do all of this.
748
00:36:33,582 --> 00:36:34,975
Oh, yes, I did.
749
00:36:35,018 --> 00:36:37,064
Speech, speech speech speech!
750
00:36:37,107 --> 00:36:38,892
Oh, no, no, I'm not
going to give a speech
751
00:36:38,935 --> 00:36:40,807
because this
is far from goodbye.
752
00:36:40,850 --> 00:36:42,678
In fact, I'm going
to be right across the street.
753
00:36:42,722 --> 00:36:47,074
Then, I would
like to say a few words.
754
00:36:49,294 --> 00:36:52,558
Judge Lisa Benner
is a trailblazer.
755
00:36:53,428 --> 00:36:58,172
When I first started this job,
she mentored and supported me,
756
00:36:58,216 --> 00:37:04,134
but she also kept my feet
to the fire, never letting up,
757
00:37:04,178 --> 00:37:06,136
allowing me
to be the kind of judge
758
00:37:06,180 --> 00:37:09,270
I wanted to be,
even if she disagreed
759
00:37:09,314 --> 00:37:12,012
with some
of my more creative methods.
760
00:37:12,882 --> 00:37:16,930
And for that,
she has my utmost respect.
761
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,542
She constantly reminds me
762
00:37:20,586 --> 00:37:23,893
why I became a judge
and why I belong here.
763
00:37:24,329 --> 00:37:28,550
And this election
has proven that I still
764
00:37:28,594 --> 00:37:30,465
have some work
to do, even today,
765
00:37:30,813 --> 00:37:34,687
I was reminded
of my resolve going forward,
766
00:37:34,730 --> 00:37:39,039
being staunch in my pursuit
of justice and fairness.
767
00:37:39,474 --> 00:37:43,086
And that will
never waver because
768
00:37:43,130 --> 00:37:45,828
you have shown me
that it doesn't have to.
769
00:37:46,438 --> 00:37:51,225
So, thank you, Lisa Benner.
770
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:59,189
Besides being
a mentor and a supporter,
771
00:38:00,974 --> 00:38:05,239
I am grateful
to also call you my friend.
772
00:38:08,329 --> 00:38:09,417
Here, here.
773
00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:17,077
I want to take
pictures of my cake.
774
00:38:20,994 --> 00:38:23,213
Nice speech,
that campaign training
775
00:38:23,257 --> 00:38:25,868
has come in handy,
but watch your back.
776
00:38:26,608 --> 00:38:28,306
Lots of eyes on you now.
777
00:38:32,919 --> 00:38:34,399
Edible Balls?
- No thank you.
778
00:38:56,203 --> 00:38:58,336
So, I didn't reach out
to you before now because--
779
00:38:58,379 --> 00:39:00,338
There's no need to explain.
780
00:39:00,381 --> 00:39:02,340
Because there's something that
I want to tell you in person.
781
00:39:05,125 --> 00:39:06,779
I'm leaving the PD's office
782
00:39:07,301 --> 00:39:10,565
and I am going
into holistic law.
783
00:39:10,609 --> 00:39:12,524
I had the feeling
you were up to something.
784
00:39:12,567 --> 00:39:14,090
I just didn't know what.
785
00:39:14,134 --> 00:39:16,528
I'll still be
trying cases in the HOJ,
786
00:39:16,571 --> 00:39:18,747
so I'll probably be
seeing a lot more of you now.
787
00:39:18,791 --> 00:39:19,879
Here?
788
00:39:19,922 --> 00:39:22,229
Or... or um--
789
00:39:22,272 --> 00:39:24,057
I'm going to
be staying with my brother.
790
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:26,233
- So, yeah, there's that.
- I'm just glad you're back.
791
00:39:27,190 --> 00:39:28,322
Puerto Rico was good?
792
00:39:29,062 --> 00:39:30,716
- Life-changing.
- And Joaquin?
793
00:39:30,759 --> 00:39:33,762
He's good, but he's not here.
794
00:39:35,285 --> 00:39:36,461
Hey, Watkins.
795
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,291
- I bet you're Emily.
- Yes, I am, Emily.
796
00:39:41,335 --> 00:39:46,166
And you must be--
I'm sorry, I have no idea.
797
00:39:46,209 --> 00:39:48,560
Delia Burke, new bailiff in 802.
798
00:39:48,603 --> 00:39:51,563
Oh, That's-- That's amazing.
It's nice to meet you.
799
00:39:51,606 --> 00:39:53,173
- Delia Burke.
- Just Burke.
800
00:39:53,216 --> 00:39:54,348
Burke.
801
00:39:54,870 --> 00:39:56,176
- Still want to grab dinner?
- Absolutely.
802
00:39:57,482 --> 00:39:58,831
Talk later?
803
00:39:58,874 --> 00:40:00,833
Uh-huh.
Yeah, of course. Yeah.
804
00:40:01,224 --> 00:40:02,530
- Bye.
- Bye.
805
00:40:06,491 --> 00:40:07,840
Really happy you're back, Em.
806
00:40:08,971 --> 00:40:10,059
Yeah.
807
00:40:12,148 --> 00:40:15,369
♪ When I told you,
when I told you ♪
808
00:40:15,413 --> 00:40:17,110
♪ To go
809
00:40:17,153 --> 00:40:19,504
♪ Before I close my door
810
00:40:21,114 --> 00:40:24,334
Be right there,
Sherri, I forgot the card.
811
00:40:26,380 --> 00:40:27,729
Finally come to concede?
812
00:40:27,773 --> 00:40:30,906
Hmm. I came
to congratulate.
813
00:40:30,950 --> 00:40:32,168
Next time, use a phone.
814
00:40:32,212 --> 00:40:33,648
I prefer a personal touch.
815
00:40:35,302 --> 00:40:36,869
I want you to know this little
war of ours is far from over.
816
00:40:36,912 --> 00:40:39,698
I didn't
realize we were in a war.
817
00:40:39,741 --> 00:40:41,264
Ah, nice of me to warn you.
818
00:40:42,483 --> 00:40:45,225
I want you to see me coming
because I love a good fight.
819
00:40:45,878 --> 00:40:47,706
This election
exposed your vulnerabilities,
820
00:40:47,749 --> 00:40:49,229
I look forward
to illuminating them.
821
00:40:49,272 --> 00:40:50,709
I welcome that Ms. Cuthbert.
822
00:40:50,752 --> 00:40:52,232
I do too, Ms. Carmichael.
823
00:40:52,275 --> 00:40:54,974
It's Judge Carmichael.
824
00:40:55,017 --> 00:40:56,236
Hmm, for now.
