- You look sensational. - Well, thank you.
We were a thing like a million years ago.
You two were more than a thing.
They make more arrests last night?
- What the hell's going on? - Intend to find out.
You think one of these kids is capable
of organizing all these hits?
- They're scared of something. - Or someone.
Is this Brandon Page's place?
You can't be here. You got to kick rocks.
- Get out of here! - Sykes, come on.
I can assure you the only funny
business going on is Tik-bate videos.
People are not your friends, Maddy. They're dangerous.
You're being dramatic.

Yoink.
Are you serious? Why are you so smiley?
The last time you rode along in a cop car,
you became a witness.
Ever seen such a sexy search warrant?
Is that a Judge Lola Carmichael signature, I detect?
Signed fresh last night.
This house is the hub of the smash and grabs?
My investigators seem to think so,
which means after today,
I will be one step closer to nailing their leader.
Which also means--
We can finally have date nights.
Maybe we can invite Collier to the next one.
- Not funny. - Wasn't meant to be.
I think it's time I met your soon to be ex-husband.
And you will. But now is a bad time.
He hasn't been feeling great lately.
I'm just saying I want to be here for you, all right?
- Have a great day. - Have fun on Hell Street.
Shit. It-- it's supposed to say "Hill Street."
Yeah. You might want to go get that fixed
before you go play cops and robbers.
Yeah.

Hey! Our new court reporter.
Moses Meyers. Stenographer by day.
Dueling pianist by night.
Hogwarts Choir at the Wizarding World on weekends.
- I hold the singing frog. - Oh, I bet you do.
Knock, knock.
- Morning. I don't remember-- - Shh.
Calling a family meeting in chambers.
Babysitter canceled.
And as you so wisely pointed out,
the FBI is not the friendliest daycare.
Neither is the criminal courthouse.
- What about Charles and Roxy? - I tried all the usual suspects.
Your Honor, I need to know if you're attending
the Stanford conference. Because I--
Shh!
Why are we whispering?
I thought we agreed you weren't going?
- Never said I wasn't going. - There's a typo
in the smash and grab search warrant--
Shh!
I need you to re-sign it.
Sherri, please guard the door.
Sorry, between the singing and the shushing,
I'm just off my game.
I thought the Stanford thing was settled.
Looks like you two have a lot to talk about.
No, you stay. We're not done here.
I'm in a bit of a rush, so...
- How long will you be gone? - It's only for a couple hours.
I can't believe you. Now, what am I signing here?
I wrote 606 Hell Street instead of 606 Hill Street.
Enjoy mommy daughter work day!
Robin Taylor! Sherri, stop my husband!
Still on for breakfast, Carmichael? Oh, hi Robin.
Hi Lisa. Got to go. Love you, baby. Thanks, Lola!
Bye, Bailey.
Breakfast for three!
Happy trial day, ladies.
- Hey. - Hey, Mr. Callan.
All those weeks of putting the heat
on our office to push your case paid off.
- Only if we get a conviction. - For Eden.
Unfortunately, another very capable attorney
will have to pull out the win.
But you're our attorney.
Don't worry. You'll still have a friendly face. I promise.
Teddy, smash and grab investigation
is hitting a crescendo. I need to bump you up
to first chair on a roofie case. Walk with me.
- Sure, yeah. - A drug charge, as you know.
The defendant was caught drugging the victim's drink.
- He was arrested at the scene. - Yeah, I got all that.
But that means I have to talk to them on my own, right?
Yeah, is that gonna be a problem?
You've done the impossible and earned
these women's trust in the system.
And you're handing them off to your freshest meat?
Teddy is the second chair on the case.
He's an excellent attorney. He can handle it.
Right. I can handle it.
Great. And I'm just a call away.
Just got to serve a search warrant and find
a bulletproof vest. Go get him.
I can do this. They're just... uh, exotic dancers.
You can say "stripper," Teddy. It's not a bad word.
Eh. Hi.
Who the hell are they?
- FBI! - The hell is going on here?
You're interfering with a federal investigation.
Get back in your cars, and turn around.
We have a search warrant.
All right, what the hell happened out there?
They froze us out, sir.
They rolled up on us in three SUVs--
DDA Mark Callan, a pleasure.
You brought the big boss for backup.
You know us. Who are you?
Zoya Hamid. Assistant United States attorney.
My team of federal agents has been putting together
a multi-state Hobbs Act robbery crew against
the owner of that house for the past year.
Our task force has also been building a case.
Surely we can pool resources, work together.
Who's the target of your warrant?
Do you really not have a name?
Some resources you're offering us. Brandon Page.
That's a freebie.
Even without a name we were closer to an arrest.
Based on what? Unlike your office, we only fire when ready.
And while your office waits years to file charges,
Brandon Page is out on the streets,
committing war crimes and harming more people.
By the end of it, he will be a long term guest
of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
Now, for the last time, back off.
Brandon Page is mine.
Did Lola tell you or did you or did you just overhear
us in chambers this morning?
I was just doing my job--
I didn't peg you for the type to take advantage
of our friendship, Robin, let alone your marriage.
Oh. Sarah is still dodging my texts.
How dare she steal your thing?
I am a reformed text dodger, thank you very much.
Also, you're not much better now that you have a PD workload.
Well, at least I own it.
How you holding up, by the way?
Fine. But ask me again after today,
I'm defending a man accused of drugging an exotic dancer.
I'm so over this dude--
Hey, lawyer man.
Apologies for the interruption, my dear.
I require this man's abounding legal wisdom.
He's all yours.
Oh. Mm. There's something so corruptible
about a woman in a suit, so--
You do not want to finish that thought.
Uh, thank you again for being willing to testify.
You're the only one that saw
the defendant drug Eden's drink.
So without you, we'd have no case.
Sure. I'm just surprised ya'll are taking this seriously.
Oh, it's very serious.
Can you take us through the events of that night?
I was dancing on stage and Eden was sitting
with her regular customer. Franklin.
Franklin's been my regular for about a year.
He's goofy, but in a fun way.
I have to keep reminding myself that he... You know?
You didn't see him drug your drink?
It's very easy to get distracted
when there are boobs on stage.
- I... okay. -
So it was just you and Franklin watching Adriana?
Yeah. She saw it happen.
By the time she got off stage,
I already drank most of it.
She took me to the back of the dressing room
to take care of me and made sure that Franklin
stayed distracted with another girl until the cops came.
I feel really lucky.
Was security not around?
Yes and no. They're always around,
but they're never really watching.
We look out for each other.
Did you have a... relationship
with Franklin outside the--?
No. No. He doesn't even know my real name.
Just knows me by my stage name.
- Lilith. - Lilith?
As in the legendary succubus she-demon?
No way! Yes!
Oh, my God. Nobody ever gets that!
When I'm giving lap dances, I like to imagine
I'm draining my customers of their souls.
Wow. That's so depraved and inspiring.
One time I made a succubus the big bad of my D&D campaign.
Shut up. I love D&D!
You're kidding! Are you on Discord?
But of course. I host my own RPG server.
It set in a tavern.
Oh Bailey, you are so scrumptious.
I promise I will find someone
to relieve your post by lunch.
It is no trouble, really.
I don't have court 'til later.
And she seems to be enjoying herself.
- Oh, no. Let me get that. - Stand down, Your Honor.
Bottle washing is well within my capabilities.
Lo, I need to talk to you.
- You are really slacking today. - I'm sorry.
Your husband tipped off the feds about my search warrant.
That's six months of work down the drain.
They shut it down.
- He did what? - Did you tell him about it?
Of course not. I can't believe you're even asking me that.
Wow. - Hey.
I've been helping out the surveillance team
at the Brandon Page house for months.
Were you eavesdropping on us earlier?
I was in the vicinity of the conversation.
That's not technically eavesdropping.
- Robin Taylor. - I didn't mean to hear it,
but I felt duty bound to report it.
Any other events in my life you'd like to implode?
C'mon, man, it's not personal--
Judge Carmichael needs to be in court now.
Your cat fight can wait.
Yeah.
This conversation is far from over.
Hey. You were right.
My client, Gloria, is no longer in juvie.
She has agreed to testify against Brandon Page.
So the feds are holding her in protective custody.
I had targeted her as my main witness.
You know, she has a younger sister who was also wrapped up
in the Brandon Page scene. Maddy Hernandez.
You think you could convince her to talk to us?
I'm not sure.
Honestly, she's not my client and I'm not her babysitter.
What happened to Ms. Holistic Law?
I promised Gloria that I would help keep Maddy safe.
And believe me, I have tried.
But this is turning into something that is way beyond
the scope of my practice.
As long as Maddy is roaming the streets,
she's within Brandon Page's reach.
You can help protect her.
- She trusts you. - Trust is a big word. Okay?
She doesn't even want my help.
And I guarantee you, she would choose
Brandon Page over me right now.
You underestimate the power of the Lopez charm.
Okay. We both know flattery is not my strongest motivator.
You're right. But helping people is.
Maddy needs your help. I need your help. This case--
Okay. Just please stop.
You're driving.
Dr. Goodwin, what is your occupation?
I'm a criminologist employed by the Los Angeles
Police Department's Technical Investigation Division.
What do you know about the drug called ketamine?
Ketamine is an anesthetic drug.
It can have an effect similar to alcohol,
but in larger doses, it can cause a loss of memory,
loss of body control, even a loss of consciousness.
Did any of the samples you tested for this matter
show the presence of ketamine?
Yes. The sample of blood taken from Miss Porter,
item one, and the sample of the beverage
taken at the scene, item three.
Was the amount present in Ms. Porter's blood
of any significance?
Well, it was higher than is typically
seen in a recreational user.
How can ketamine be used non-recreationally?
It can be administered to an individual,
to assist in what's commonly referred to as date rape--
Objection, lack of foundation
and outside the witness's expertise.
- Overruled. No further questions.
Mr. Watkins, your witness.
You said that ketamine can be used recreationally.
That means that people take it on purpose, right?
Well, it can sometimes be considered a party drug.
You mentioned that you detected ketamine
in the complaining witness' blood sample.
Can you determine how it got there?
No, I cannot.
You also mentioned that you detected ketamine
in the drink at the scene.
Can you determine how it got there?
I can't do that either.
And finally, in the materials collected
from Mr. Hastings, there were no traces
of ketamine detected at all, correct?
That's also correct.
No further questions.
Psst. Donuts in the judge's lounge.
You didn't hear it from me.
Oh, would you sign this document first?
I thought your parents lived in Marin County.
- They do. - What's the Lindon community?
Is there a reason why you're snooping
- through my personal mail? - I didn't snoop, I glanced.
It's a mobile home community.
But more importantly, Moses has been writing
on the rough transcripts in gel pens.
- Moses? - Yes, Madame Justice?
Is there a reason you've been making comments
in the transcripts?
I need an outlet for my opinions.
Does that say "this is sus?"
It was sus.
Oh! And while we're interested in my opinions,
you should really be giving Bailey these--
No! Mm-mm. I'm going to stop you right there.
You know, it's been forever since
we've had the chance to actually talk.
- Aren't you getting married? - Allegedly.
Amy's divorce is still processing.
Have you met the current husband?
- Not yet. - That's really weird, right?
Right? Yes, it is weird. Thank you.
I thought I was just being sensitive.
I mean, if the guy's so important to her
and there's no bad blood,
I don't know why she's hiding him from me.
- Something I'd look into. - I'm working on it.
How are things between you and Luke?
There are no things, you know, we're just friends.
We're in a really good place right now,
and I'm just glad that he's still in my life.
Maddy! Hey!
I got to go. You can't be here.
Why are you still harassing me?
He could be watching us.
Hey, our agreement was that you were gonna stop
- hanging out with Brandon Page. - Not him.
Sykes. You have to go.
Wait, wait. This is Mark Callan. He's a prosecutor.
He might be able to help you, if you tell him
what you know about Brandon Page.
He will make sure you're protected.
I'm sorry. I can't talk to anybody. Leave me alone.
One time I ran out of arrows,
so I beat an orc to death with my bow.
Once I had a bard character, his weapon of choice
was a lute with knives sticking out of its neck.
Sounds like he played some pretty killer tunes.
Hey, Teddy, can I talk to you for a second?
Sorry. Sorry.
I think you may be getting a little distracted
- from the task at hand. - Nonsense.
Eden's just an incredibly delightful and engaging person.
Who's counting on you to get a conviction
on a crime that thousands of other men
have gotten away with.
An assault was prevented,
and there's still evidence. That is rare.
- I'm aware. - If you win,
you can prove that someone doesn't
have to get hurt for there to be justice.
I know what I'm doing. I'm the attorney here.
How did Mr. Hastings approach you the night of the incident?
He told me he would like to purchase an hour
with me in the VIP room,
but that he wanted to grab a drink first.
He didn't know that I was recently sober,
so I ordered a mocktail and drank most of it.
When I started to feel hazy, I knew that something was wrong.
Has Mr. Hastings ever expressed wanting
more than the standard lap dance?
Asked me to have sex with him more than once,
even offering payment a few times.
But that's common in the club.
No further questions.
Mr. Watkins, your witness.
Ms. Porter, have you ever used recreational drugs
to get through a shift?
Um...
- Yes, I have. - In fact, you've been to rehab
for the abuse of recreational drugs, haven't you?
Objection. Improper character evidence.
Your Honor, the witness testifying that she's recently
sober opened the door for evidence of her drug history.
He is correct, Mr. Biswas.
The door was opened. Overruled.
Ms. Porter, you may answer the question.
But I was clean at the time that I was drugged.
How is this relevant?
Ms. Porter, please answer yes or no.
Yes.
Wasn't ketamine one of the drugs
you were admitted to rehab for?
He's acting like I'm some drugged out stripper.
It was a party phase.
Have you ever blacked out at work
after taking recreational drugs of your own volition?
Objection Your Honor. Relevance, prejudicial, argumentative.
- I can go on! - Mr. Biswas--
Mr. Watkins is knowingly playing into tasteless
stereotypes of exotic dancers that no way described
the remarkable woman that Eden is.
I mean, Ms. Porter.
I think this will be a great time
to take our evening recess.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we will see you back here tomorrow morning.
And Mr. Biswas...
a word in my chambers, please.
- Hey. - We can not do this right now.
Relax. I'm just picking up Bailey.
I have an attorney on his way back to my chambers.
So my double-crossing husband better find
a way to disappear before--
- Double crossing? Really? -
Your daughter seems to think so.
I got the kid. You keep telling off your man.
I know--
Baby, I was just doing my job.
That's what you call it? Just doing your--
Robin.
We'll finish this discussion at home.
Muah!
Bye, Bailey!
Mr. Biswas, I just wanted to check in with you.
As a former DDA myself who shares your empathetic nature,
I can understand how defining the boundary between victim
and client can be challenging.
She thinks you have the hots for the stripper.
- Moses! - What? No, of course not.
What you saw in court was passion. Not lust.
Mr. Biswas, in the interest of a fair trial,
- are you able to proceed? - Yes, Your Honor.
I will 100% monitor myself from here on out.
Glad to hear it. You may go.
Hey, boss. Got a grant of immunity
for you to sign for Maddy Hernandez.
- She agreed to testify? - Not yet. She's scared to talk.
An offer for witness protection might convince her.
That's the plan if the feds don't get to her first.
They already have her sister, Gloria, in protective custody.
- Then you'd better be faster. - Right, I just--
Adriana just texted me. She's out.
She was just here this morning.
- I don't know what happened. - She's our only eyewitness.
Exactly. We're doomed.
Hey busy bee!
- Tonight's the night, right? - Oh, yeah. Drink plans.
Yeah.
- You're bailing? - No, I'm not.
We are just going to kill two birds with one stone.
Let's go. Don't be tardy for the party!
They didn't even card, Baby Biswas. Pretty sketchy.
I cannot believe I let you convince me to come here.
- Oh will you relax-- - Ladies, listen up.
Consent is the name of the game.
So ask before you touch and do not sit at the tip rail
unless you're sending ones flying.
No less than $10 per dancer,
according to the stripper forum I studied.
Now...
I'm going to go grab a stack.
Oh, there she is. Hey, Teddy!
Teddy!
Okay, I will just go talk to her myself.
- Stop! - Don't leave me! Sara!
Sara... God!
Hello. Hi.
Adriana. Hey.
What are you doing here?
You can't just show up and drop my real name like that.
What happened? I mean, you were so committed
to putting Franklin away, and now you're out? Just like that?
I love Eden, but I need this job.
Vince fired her this morning.
What? Wait, who's Vince's?
Shh! It's our manager.
He texted all the girls that if any of us show
up at that courthouse, that we're next.
Turns out he's a witness for the defense.
He's testifying tomorrow.
What if I help get you a job at a new club?
Money's good here, and other clubs are worse,
believe it or not.
I'd rather take my chances getting drugged
than trafficked. If you'll excuse me.
Your word is the only thing to help put Franklin away.
My word don't mean shit to a jury.
Sex workers report crimes all the time that pick up dust.
You know why? Because no one cares about us.
And I was so stupid to think
that this time could be different.
You won't know if it could be different,
unless you try.
Look, I'm at work.
So if you want to keep talking...
Is that camera recording?
Don't worry. They only capture the register.
Big Brother isn't watching
what you're doing with the girls on the floor.
Hello. This young man would love
to have a private dance with this young lady.
This man is very content to stay where he is.
It is your turn to try and convince her. Go on.
Have fun! Ay! Ay!
Go on. Go on, Teddy.
What?
Ugh, Emily.
Sherri, can you come in here, please?
To say thank you for the many hats
I asked you to wear today.
Babysitter, bouncer, j'aie.
You're going to be late getting home.
We both could use a little cooling off.
Yeah.
That postcard you got from your parents
seemed to ruffle your feathers.
My feathers do not get ruffled, thank you very much.
I could have completely misread the situation.
Especially considering the postcard
didn't have a whole lot to say.
Your Honor, I really don't want to get--
Sherri. I'm listening.
I don't hear from my parents very often.
So when I do, it usually means something.
And you don't know if that something is good or bad.
Why don't you call them and find out?
It's complicated.
They're not easy to track down.
Even when I do, it's near impossible to visit
without jumping through a lot of hoops.
I don't want to overstep, but I need for you to know
that my support for you extends beyond these walls.
Thank you.
If you ever want to talk, I am here to listen.
- Can it please be time? - Oh, it's been time.
Moses!
- You rang? - I was very impressed
by how you calmed my crying daughter today.
Babies and I share an understanding.
My mom owned a daycare growing up,
and I was an au pair in Paris.
I really appreciate you helping out today,
but unfortunately,
this will be your last day as my stenographer.
Oh my God, how is your skin so soft?
Sugar scrub.
Wow!
Woohoo!
That was amazing!
- Amazing! - Oh!
There are cameras in the private VIP rooms.
Yeah, so?
You didn't disclose them to the police.
The hell are you talking about?
You were served a subpoena in a case I'm prosecuting,
and you only disclosed footage from the registers.
Get the hell out of my club.
I'm not leaving till you hand over the footage.
The cameras didn't capture the drugging, okay?
So it's none of your damn business.
It's most certainly is. Search warrant.
I can have the judge issue a body attachment
for your arrest, or you can hand it over right now.
Your choice.
Hey.
I'm so glad everyone was able to accommodate your plans today.
Come on, now.
It would have been such a shame
if you would have let insignificant things
like friendship, or your marriage, or fatherhood,
get in the way of your investigation.
You never let those things get
- in the way of your judgeship. - Excuse me?
Who put everything on hold to support your career?
Who's the primary caretaker of our child?
You offered.
And if I'd known you were gonna resent me--
I'm carrying everything!
I've been carrying all this.
I asked you to take some of it off my shoulders
for one day, so I can do my damn job.
No, not so you could do your job,
so that you can backstab our best friend.
- Backstab? Really? - Yeah.
So every time you hit Mark with a not guilty verdict,
- that's a betrayal? - You know that that's different.
How is that different? Mark's not bigger than the law.
Forget the law. What about me?
Did you ever for one second stop
to think about the position that you were putting me in?
I did, but not as long as it's taken you to make
a decision about going to Andre's conference.
That's what this is about?
You did this because you're mad?
- I may have overstepped. - You overstepped.
Big time.
And now I'm stuck in the middle between two people I love.
- Now, how is that fair? - It's not.
But it's done. What do you want me to do?
I want you to sleep on the couch tonight.
Seriously?
- Fine. - Fine.
And if you wake up before me, here's Bailey's morning
schedule, so you know what to do.
Jesus, Teddy, you scared the hell out of me.
- Thank God you're here. - Is everything alright?
No. I need you to see this.
What am I watching here?
I find out they didn't disclose security footage
from the private VIP rooms, so I scrubbed through
a few weeks of it off a hunch.
Turn that off.
This wasn't the first time
Franklin drugged Eden.
He sexually assaulted her not once, not twice,
but three times, at least.
- Shit. - I don't know what to do.
What the hell do we do?
The only decent thing we can do.
We tell her.
Oh my God. Wait, did you sleep here?
I wish. I couldn't get comfortable.
Yeah, Mark filled me in. It's horrible.
It got worse. The manager, Vince, knew. Look.
Oh, that's just absolutely disgusting.
Look alive. Maddy's willing to talk about Brandon Page.
She's on her way up now. I need you to take notes.
I cannot right now.
Look, I know it's tough, but you can afford to give Eden
a few more moments of ignorant bliss.
I'm not your secretary.
You expect me to put a senior DDA
on this to take notes? This is your job.
Why don't you let Teddy just sit this one?
We deal with unspeakable crimes in this office
on a daily basis.
We put our emotions aside and do the work.
Build that habit today.
Okay.
Hi.
Brandon would challenge a group of kids to rob
a store and they'd swarm it.
I never went with them.
Neither did Brandon.
They'd bring all this stuff back and store it
at the attic in his house.
- We have what we need. - Go ahead and arrest him.
Maddy, we know that speaking out against Brandon
is scary, but in witness protection,
he can't get to you, okay? You'll be safe.
How do you feel?
- Worried... - I know. But you did good, okay?
And listen, I gave Gloria my word
that I would look out for you.
I intend to keep my promise. Okay?
- You ready to go? - Yeah.
Let's go.
Teddy, I need you change the witness name
on the warrant from Gloria to Maddy, okay?
Yeah. Of course.
Peace and quiet. Who knew it was possible? Sherri?
It's okay to not be okay.
Thank you.
- - I think something is wrong.
What can I do?
I think I need to go see
if my parents are okay, because I won't know
that they're okay until I do.
But there's so much to do here--
That is for me to worry about.
Family first. Always.
Take as much time as you need to handle everything.
- Okay? - Okay.
But that means I need to leave now.
Okay.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
We found footage of Mr. Hastings
sexually assaulting you in the private VIP rooms.
What does that mean?
How far did he go?
I... he, uh...
it was digital penetration.
How would I not notice?
It's likely you were drugged during those occasions as well.
What am I supposed to do with that?
You don't have to do anything for now.
My office will pursue more serious charges.
We can get a bigger sentence and sex offender
registration in addition to the drug charges--
- No. What do you mean?
I don't want to go to another trial.
I don't wanna go back on the stand,
have all this information be made public.
We can put this guy away for years.
I just want this all to be over.
I'm not doing it.
Any of it.
Can't shake the feeling that I signed up for this.
You signed up to sell a fantasy.
What he stole from you was not for sale.
But I just feel so powerless.
I know there's power in pushing forward with the case.
What if it destroys me?
Well, it's not justice if we lose you in the process.
Protecting yourself is what's most important.
I just don't want to disappoint anyone.
Looks like you haven't.
Won't Vince fire you guys for being here?
Fuck Vince. We are standing with you,
and whatever you decide to do.
We threw you into the deep end with this case, Teddy,
- but you did a great job. - It doesn't feel like it.
Offering a deal seems wrong
when we can peg Franklin for much worse.
When we have a chance to honor
a victim's wishes, we do it.
This is how she wanted to move on.
Good morning, Your Honor.
The preliminary hearing
in the Brandon Page case was sent here.
What time would you like to call the case?
Counselor, I'm impressed by how quickly you were able
to push this case through.
I have trial here until at least this afternoon.
And I will wait. Thank you.
Can you tell me where defense witnesses sit?
Figure it out.
I'll take it to my client.
The People have footage of you sexually assaulting Eden.
- Three times. - They're lying.
It's you, plain as day.
They're offering a deal.
Prison time with no sex registration.
No deal. We can win them over. Bring on the jury.
If you don't take this deal, the prosecution will
charge you with multiple sex crimes,
and you will almost certainly lose at trial
and get more time than the offer.
My advice is to take the deal
because it's less time than you...
than you deserve.
Okay.
Yeah. I'll take the deal.
I feel like, overall, we did the best we could.
You have to feel good about that, seriously.
- Oh, my God, Sara. - What?
Can we ask you something?
Okay.
Hey.
It's done?
It's done.
I thought it would feel better than this.
Yeah, it's only day one. Give it time.
Thank you for everything.
Why'd you want us to meet you outside anyway?
Figured you'd earned a show.
Vince Orla, you're under arrest.
You have the right to remain silent.
I know the drill.
Ha ha! Fucker! - WOMAN 2: Busted!
- You did this? - I handed LAPD the footage
of Vince taking payment from Franklin,
and the threatening text he sent the dancers.
He's being charged with conspiracy
to commit sexual battery.
"SheDemon327."
Excuse me?
My Discord user.
Now that the trial's over, we can really be friends.
Hey, I got a lawyer at an organization
called Strippers United who wants to connect with you.
Wants to help you file
and get your job back at the club.
- Let's do it. - Awesome.
Come on. First, I'm taking us all out to celebrate.
I mean, you guys almost cleaned me out last night.
Yeah.
On the record in People v. Page Case LS210C32.
He is present and represented.
The people are represented.
Council, state your--
Assistant United States Attorney Zoya Hamid
on behalf of the United States.
Your Honor, I'm filing with the court a mission
to intervene, a mission to transfer,
and a five count grand jury indictment just unsealed
from federal district court.
We are asking that this defendant
be removed to federal court, pending trial.
- On what grounds? - The DA's office is ill-equipped
to handle this case.
Transferring Brandon Page
into federal custody will ensure a swifter conviction,
which will lead to a much longer sentence.
- What's the People's position? - This is a community issue.
If there is one thing the Los Angeles District
Attorney's Office can handle, it's gang activity.
Let us take the shot.
I will rule on this matter after a brief recess.
How did you get here so fast?
Got an alert about leftover donuts in the judge's lounge.
Been stuffing my face all morning.
Well praise God for pastries,
because I need the Benner strain of brutal honesty.
My best advice? Let the feds do their thing.
They can pack a bigger punch
with a hefty sentence and no parole.
But the DA's office got there first.
If we're going by the book, state courts should get
the first chance at a conviction on a public offense.
The feds can wait their turn.
But you're forgetting about optics.
Ruling in favor of your best friend could appear improper
and even worse, if he doesn't win.
Do you trust Mark to get a conviction?
You'll make the right decision.
You always do.
Well, most of the time.
The United States motion to intervene
and motion to transfer is denied.
Brandon Page will remain in county custody.
Hi. It's Sherri Kansky. I have more money this time.
Can I please see my mother?

Don't worry. He's been vetted.
I will no longer be helping out on the Brandon Page case.
And I won't be attending the Stanford conference.
Great.
Things can get back to normal.
Once you apologize to Mark, then we can talk about normal.

Mark?
- Collier. - Hey.
Oh, it's great finally meeting you.
Ames was right. You are a handsome guy.
- You look great yourself. - Thanks.
I'm on this new cheap insurance plan that covers
my medication, so never felt better.
- That's news. - That's great news.
We can finally get divorced and can finally get married.
Give her that fantasy wedding she deserves.
I thought the papers had already been submitted.
No. No, Amy said she was gonna hold off sending
'em until the insurance got settled.
- You know she worries. - Yeah.
I thought you knew.
