1
00:00:06,005 --> 00:00:08,049
- They arrested me.
- What?
2
00:00:08,049 --> 00:00:09,968
They said I killed
Mitchell Bondurant.
3
00:00:09,968 --> 00:00:12,679
If the DA files for murder,
the bail will be high.
4
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:15,265
- I don't have that kind of money.
- We'll figure it out.
5
00:00:15,265 --> 00:00:17,892
You choose high-profile clients
for a reason.
6
00:00:17,892 --> 00:00:20,186
You love all eyes being trained on you.
7
00:00:20,186 --> 00:00:22,605
The people charge Lisa Marie Trammell
8
00:00:22,605 --> 00:00:25,567
with the first-degree murder
of Mitchell Bondurant.
9
00:00:25,567 --> 00:00:27,986
Bail will be set
at two million dollars.
10
00:00:27,986 --> 00:00:32,157
- Bondurant was found dead next to his car.
- The wound looks circular.
11
00:00:32,157 --> 00:00:34,784
So no murder weapon,
which means it's still out there.
12
00:00:34,784 --> 00:00:37,203
- That's good for us.
- As long as it never shows up.
13
00:00:37,203 --> 00:00:41,249
My friend, Henry, put up the bond for me.
Henry's a podcast producer.
14
00:00:41,249 --> 00:00:44,711
I don't know you. I don't trust you.
I want you far away from this case.
15
00:00:44,711 --> 00:00:48,089
I do believe that
maybe Kaz cut a deal.
16
00:00:48,089 --> 00:00:51,968
You'll stay on him until I'm satisfied
I know what I'm dealing with.
17
00:00:51,968 --> 00:00:54,012
I don't want you involved in this.
18
00:00:54,012 --> 00:00:56,473
I just gotta finish this one thing.
19
00:00:56,473 --> 00:00:58,767
- Lie to me again, and I'm out.
- What do you want?
20
00:00:58,767 --> 00:01:02,187
Not to go to the judge every time
I don't get something I'm entitled to.
21
00:01:02,187 --> 00:01:04,689
Just so you know,
there will not be a plea offer.
22
00:01:04,689 --> 00:01:06,399
Good. 'Cause we don't want one.
23
00:01:06,399 --> 00:01:10,028
You know I'm attracted to you,
but we have to keep it professional.
24
00:01:10,612 --> 00:01:11,488
Sure.
25
00:01:45,647 --> 00:01:48,441
- Where do you want this?
- How many more are there?
26
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:50,318
About 80 total, give or take.
27
00:01:50,318 --> 00:01:51,736
Eighty more boxes?
28
00:01:51,736 --> 00:01:53,363
No, sandwiches.
29
00:01:53,363 --> 00:01:55,573
Yes, boxes. Where to?
30
00:01:55,573 --> 00:01:57,826
Wherever you see an empty space.
31
00:01:57,826 --> 00:01:59,160
What is all this?
32
00:01:59,786 --> 00:02:02,122
This is discovery
for the Trammell case
33
00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:04,290
and a big middle finger
from Andrea Freemann.
34
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:07,377
Old prosecutor's trick.
Bury the defense in paperwork.
35
00:02:07,377 --> 00:02:10,296
Bondurant's high school yearbook
is probably in one of these.
36
00:02:10,296 --> 00:02:12,132
Good thing you kept this office.
37
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:14,175
There's no way
to pile these in the Lincoln.
38
00:02:14,175 --> 00:02:16,886
We're gonna need all hands on deck.
Where's Lorna?
39
00:02:23,309 --> 00:02:24,394
Hey, Izzy. What's up?
40
00:02:24,394 --> 00:02:26,020
Mickey's asking for you.
41
00:02:26,020 --> 00:02:28,022
We've got a situation here.
42
00:02:28,022 --> 00:02:29,941
Ugh. They've buried us in boxes.
43
00:02:29,941 --> 00:02:31,025
Uh-huh.
44
00:02:31,025 --> 00:02:32,527
Okay, I'm coming in.
45
00:02:32,527 --> 00:02:35,488
Cancel all your plans.
It's gonna be a very long day.
46
00:02:41,578 --> 00:02:45,707
Darn it. I am blind without my glasses.
Can you read the menu?
47
00:02:46,207 --> 00:02:48,751
I come here often.
I practically know it by heart.
48
00:02:48,751 --> 00:02:50,086
What is it you wanna know?
49
00:02:50,086 --> 00:02:53,464
Oh, uh, my boyfriend
wants to know the specials.
50
00:02:54,090 --> 00:02:57,969
Avocado toast. Why is that even a special?
It's on every menu in LA.
51
00:02:57,969 --> 00:03:00,096
I know, right? Calm down, avocados.
52
00:03:01,180 --> 00:03:03,224
"Turkey meatloaf
with chili aioli."
53
00:03:03,224 --> 00:03:04,934
"Baby gem lettuce cups
54
00:03:04,934 --> 00:03:08,146
with bacon, brussels sprouts,
chicken, grapes, and almonds."
55
00:03:08,146 --> 00:03:10,523
Oh, "...in a champagne vinaigrette."
56
00:03:10,523 --> 00:03:14,777
It says all those words up there?
Maybe I really do need glasses.
57
00:03:15,820 --> 00:03:18,865
Oh, sorry. Just thinking out loud.
Great scarf.
58
00:03:22,785 --> 00:03:23,745
Wow.
59
00:03:24,454 --> 00:03:26,956
The police confiscated Lisa's entire life.
60
00:03:27,457 --> 00:03:28,625
Journal, laptop, clothes.
61
00:03:28,625 --> 00:03:30,877
Even her gardening equipment
and tool kits.
62
00:03:30,877 --> 00:03:32,587
Did they return the laptop?
63
00:03:33,087 --> 00:03:34,464
Yeah, it's on the list.
64
00:03:34,464 --> 00:03:36,841
I can go through
the recently opened files.
65
00:03:36,841 --> 00:03:39,594
Might be a window
into the prosecution's thinking.
66
00:03:39,594 --> 00:03:41,596
No, Freemann's too sneaky for that.
67
00:03:41,596 --> 00:03:45,600
If there was anything good in that laptop,
she'd bury it deep and cover her tracks.
68
00:03:46,726 --> 00:03:49,020
Whoa, I should've brought coffee.
69
00:03:49,646 --> 00:03:52,649
Uh, Lorna, what is that on the hound?
70
00:03:52,649 --> 00:03:56,319
I'm trying out tie colors. I was thinking
Winston could walk me down the aisle.
71
00:03:56,319 --> 00:03:57,570
Like a flower girl.
72
00:03:58,571 --> 00:04:01,616
What? I don't have any bridesmaids.
I have to have someone.
73
00:04:01,616 --> 00:04:03,409
Thought your sister was gonna be one.
74
00:04:03,409 --> 00:04:05,912
My sister will roll into this wedding
in a white dress
75
00:04:05,912 --> 00:04:07,705
and have no idea why I wanna strangle her.
76
00:04:07,705 --> 00:04:11,167
All right, now that we're all here,
can we, uh, get started?
77
00:04:12,168 --> 00:04:15,004
We need to answer
one simple question. Why?
78
00:04:15,004 --> 00:04:17,090
Why did the cops arrest Lisa Trammell?
79
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:21,678
Some rich developer gets murdered.
Why is a chef the prime suspect?
80
00:04:22,345 --> 00:04:23,471
Well...
81
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:25,848
What?
82
00:04:25,848 --> 00:04:27,517
I don't wanna say this out loud,
83
00:04:27,517 --> 00:04:32,146
but sometimes the simplest answer
is the right one. Maybe Lisa did it.
84
00:04:33,147 --> 00:04:34,983
Why wouldn't you say that out loud?
85
00:04:35,608 --> 00:04:38,277
Because you've never represented someone
you've slept with,
86
00:04:38,277 --> 00:04:41,447
and we're all watching
what we say around here
87
00:04:41,447 --> 00:04:44,826
because you're not exactly unbiased.
88
00:04:46,703 --> 00:04:48,705
Okay, let's be clear on something.
89
00:04:48,705 --> 00:04:51,666
Lisa is a client.
Nothing more, nothing less.
90
00:04:51,666 --> 00:04:54,085
Like any client,
she deserves our full scrutiny.
91
00:04:54,085 --> 00:04:57,005
You think she's guilty?
Go ahead, make your case.
92
00:04:58,673 --> 00:04:59,507
Come on.
93
00:05:05,221 --> 00:05:07,056
Okay.
94
00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:12,854
So Lisa and Bondurant were enemies.
95
00:05:12,854 --> 00:05:14,230
That was no secret.
96
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:16,566
Bondurant did construction
in her neighborhood.
97
00:05:16,566 --> 00:05:18,192
He was messing up her restaurant,
98
00:05:18,192 --> 00:05:21,571
and he ordered
a temporary restraining order against Lisa
99
00:05:21,571 --> 00:05:25,366
when she protested at his office.
Plus, we all saw that police interview.
100
00:05:25,366 --> 00:05:29,203
She hated the guy.
All of this adds up to motive.
101
00:05:29,203 --> 00:05:32,957
Guy like Bondurant doesn't get where he is
without pissing off a lot of people.
102
00:05:32,957 --> 00:05:34,584
Lisa can't be his only enemy.
103
00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:38,379
But she is the only one a witness
can put at the scene of the crime.
104
00:05:39,505 --> 00:05:42,717
Margot Schafer. Bondurant's receptionist.
105
00:05:42,717 --> 00:05:47,096
She saw Lisa walking away from the office
at the same time as the murder.
106
00:05:47,096 --> 00:05:48,639
That is opportunity.
107
00:05:49,223 --> 00:05:51,434
Lisa was at the farmers market.
108
00:05:51,434 --> 00:05:52,977
She goes there every week.
109
00:05:52,977 --> 00:05:55,855
As far as their witness,
Cisco, what do we have?
110
00:05:58,399 --> 00:05:59,275
Cisco?
111
00:05:59,817 --> 00:06:02,528
Sorry. Um, Margot Schafer.
112
00:06:03,154 --> 00:06:07,408
She is a model citizen.
Uh, not so much as a parking ticket.
113
00:06:07,408 --> 00:06:10,286
Nothing weird about her relationship
with the victim,
114
00:06:10,286 --> 00:06:15,416
and the only line of attack might be
her perception on the day.
115
00:06:15,416 --> 00:06:18,086
Which is why
I tested her eyesight this morning.
116
00:06:18,086 --> 00:06:19,504
You-- You what?
117
00:06:19,504 --> 00:06:22,507
I wanted to prove
that she saw what she said she saw.
118
00:06:22,507 --> 00:06:25,259
So I may have stalked her
at the cute local coffee shop.
119
00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:27,762
And turns out she has eagle eyes.
120
00:06:27,762 --> 00:06:28,805
And...
121
00:06:31,224 --> 00:06:32,183
Mickey...
122
00:06:34,185 --> 00:06:35,603
I might need glasses.
123
00:06:37,271 --> 00:06:40,858
- All of that is beside the final point.
- Which is?
124
00:06:41,734 --> 00:06:46,030
It's subjective, granted,
but I get feelings about people.
125
00:06:46,030 --> 00:06:47,323
You know this, Mickey.
126
00:06:47,323 --> 00:06:51,244
And I just have a feeling
that there's something off about Lisa.
127
00:06:51,244 --> 00:06:54,080
You don't think that might be
your bias coming out?
128
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,999
Luckily, your feelings
are not admissible in court, Lorna.
129
00:06:56,999 --> 00:07:00,378
Maybe so, but it does leave us
with motive and opportunity.
130
00:07:00,378 --> 00:07:04,715
Yeah, but not the means.
I mean, how did Lisa kill Bondurant?
131
00:07:04,715 --> 00:07:08,553
I've been thinking about
that circular wound on top of his head.
132
00:07:08,553 --> 00:07:12,140
Not a lot of things in that shape.
Maybe a hammer?
133
00:07:12,140 --> 00:07:14,433
- We have no evidence to indicate that--
- Um...
134
00:07:15,601 --> 00:07:19,188
About that. Remember I said that
the police confiscated Lisa's tool kit.
135
00:07:19,188 --> 00:07:23,234
It's one that comes in a case
where there's a space for every tool.
136
00:07:23,234 --> 00:07:28,322
It's supposed to have 150 pieces,
but it only has 149.
137
00:07:29,740 --> 00:07:31,325
Wanna guess which one's missing?
138
00:07:47,758 --> 00:07:49,427
I don't know, Mickey.
139
00:07:49,927 --> 00:07:52,013
I have no idea where that hammer is.
140
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,765
God, the mess the police left here.
141
00:07:55,516 --> 00:07:57,435
It's a wonder I can find anything.
142
00:07:58,144 --> 00:07:59,854
Remember the last time you saw it?
143
00:08:00,521 --> 00:08:01,397
No.
144
00:08:02,106 --> 00:08:06,402
But I've had dozens of employees,
and they all had access to the shed.
145
00:08:06,402 --> 00:08:08,279
- Right.
- It wasn't even my tool kit.
146
00:08:08,279 --> 00:08:09,989
It's my ex's.
147
00:08:10,948 --> 00:08:13,868
- You think he could've misplaced it?
- Yeah, maybe.
148
00:08:14,869 --> 00:08:16,662
Can you call and ask him?
149
00:08:19,790 --> 00:08:22,501
Yeah, I don't speak to him anymore, Mickey.
150
00:08:23,753 --> 00:08:25,588
He wouldn't remember anyway.
151
00:08:26,631 --> 00:08:29,634
Knowing Jeff, he doesn't even remember
what he had for breakfast.
152
00:08:29,634 --> 00:08:32,345
This isn't just about
a missing hammer, Lisa.
153
00:08:33,095 --> 00:08:35,306
Your ex-husband may come up in the trial.
154
00:08:35,806 --> 00:08:39,685
The prosecution will dig through your past
and find anything to make you look bad.
155
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,020
What are you saying?
156
00:08:41,729 --> 00:08:43,231
I'm not saying. I'm asking.
157
00:08:43,231 --> 00:08:45,983
Is there anything about your ex
that could be a problem?
158
00:08:49,570 --> 00:08:52,281
All right. Can you at least tell me why
you got divorced?
159
00:08:58,913 --> 00:09:00,498
I'm an ambitious person.
160
00:09:00,498 --> 00:09:04,418
When my food truck took off,
I wanted to open a brick-and-mortar,
161
00:09:04,418 --> 00:09:05,920
and we already had the space.
162
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,590
Jeff was more interested in smoking weed
and playing guitar all day.
163
00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:12,134
Something just changed in the marriage.
164
00:09:13,970 --> 00:09:15,137
I wanted more.
165
00:09:15,721 --> 00:09:17,515
He didn't want any part of it.
166
00:09:18,683 --> 00:09:23,271
We just grew apart, you know?
Nothing mean. Nothing bad.
167
00:09:25,439 --> 00:09:28,943
Honestly, it was just sad.
You know what I mean?
168
00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:31,988
Yeah.
169
00:09:32,989 --> 00:09:34,073
Think he'll talk to me?
170
00:09:35,491 --> 00:09:36,742
If you can find him.
171
00:09:37,493 --> 00:09:40,162
You said he was in Mexico, right?
Ensenada?
172
00:09:40,162 --> 00:09:43,666
Last I heard,
but who knows if he's there anymore.
173
00:09:44,458 --> 00:09:47,837
- He wasn't exactly a model of stability.
- Excuse me. Lisa.
174
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,551
Shit, I-- I really gotta get back
to work, Mickey.
175
00:09:53,551 --> 00:09:54,468
Of course.
176
00:09:54,468 --> 00:09:57,013
I'm having a community dinner tonight.
177
00:09:57,513 --> 00:09:59,307
It's pay what you can.
178
00:10:00,016 --> 00:10:03,269
I do it once a month for
lower-income families in the neighborhood.
179
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:04,478
Wow, that's great.
180
00:10:04,478 --> 00:10:05,563
Yeah.
181
00:10:06,814 --> 00:10:08,482
Hopefully, people will show up.
182
00:10:10,109 --> 00:10:11,068
Hey.
183
00:10:12,862 --> 00:10:14,155
Are you okay?
184
00:10:16,365 --> 00:10:18,326
I'm sorry. I'm just, um...
185
00:10:20,036 --> 00:10:22,288
I'm dealing with a lot.
186
00:10:22,288 --> 00:10:23,331
Yeah.
187
00:10:25,416 --> 00:10:28,002
Besides the crimp in my social calendar...
188
00:10:30,004 --> 00:10:33,507
turns out being accused of murder
isn't great for business.
189
00:10:34,592 --> 00:10:38,054
Our reservations are way down
since I've been arrested and...
190
00:10:40,139 --> 00:10:44,352
I honestly don't know
what I would do without you, Mickey.
191
00:10:48,064 --> 00:10:50,399
Love for you to come to the event tonight.
192
00:10:51,025 --> 00:10:53,694
I mean, if you can.
193
00:10:54,820 --> 00:10:57,823
Having my lawyer there
might make people feel like
194
00:10:58,866 --> 00:11:01,535
maybe their chef isn't
a cold-blooded killer after all.
195
00:11:02,745 --> 00:11:03,954
I'll try to make it.
196
00:11:05,748 --> 00:11:06,624
Okay.
197
00:11:09,460 --> 00:11:11,128
I'd better get inside.
198
00:11:25,184 --> 00:11:27,144
Hey, Terrell. What's going on?
199
00:11:28,229 --> 00:11:31,065
Mickey, thank you for coming.
I'm sorry I didn't call sooner.
200
00:11:31,065 --> 00:11:34,735
I thought it was just kid shit. Judge said
Angelica could get hit with a felony.
201
00:11:34,735 --> 00:11:36,529
First offense. Juvenile court.
202
00:11:36,529 --> 00:11:38,656
She'll probably get community service,
203
00:11:38,656 --> 00:11:40,908
and it's wiped off her record
when she turns 18.
204
00:11:40,908 --> 00:11:43,285
- Well, that's not the problem.
- What's the problem?
205
00:11:43,285 --> 00:11:45,955
Things aren't exactly chill
with Angelica's mom.
206
00:11:45,955 --> 00:11:47,415
All this happened on my watch.
207
00:11:47,415 --> 00:11:50,126
If anything happens to Angelica,
she'll use it against me.
208
00:11:50,126 --> 00:11:53,921
She can get my custody revoked.
I only get Angelica two days a week as is.
209
00:11:53,921 --> 00:11:58,008
And I got my shit together now.
I'm working in promos for the Lakers.
210
00:11:58,509 --> 00:12:01,429
Wha-- Hold up.
You want seats? I could hook it up.
211
00:12:01,429 --> 00:12:04,432
I haven't done a juvenile case
since I was a public defender.
212
00:12:04,432 --> 00:12:06,976
That's 15 years ago.
Sure you don't want somebody else?
213
00:12:06,976 --> 00:12:10,396
No way, Mickey Haller.
I need the big guns for my baby.
214
00:12:15,818 --> 00:12:16,694
All right, come on.
215
00:12:26,078 --> 00:12:28,956
Angelica. I'm Mickey.
I'm gonna be your lawyer, all right?
216
00:12:30,124 --> 00:12:34,295
I thought my dad was kidding when he said
he'd get the lawyer from the bus stop ads.
217
00:12:35,004 --> 00:12:37,506
- Do you get real business off those?
- I do.
218
00:12:37,506 --> 00:12:40,760
Cool. I'll tell my friend
to stop drawing dicks on your face.
219
00:12:43,888 --> 00:12:46,640
Mr. Haller, it's been a while.
220
00:12:48,476 --> 00:12:49,643
You don't remember.
221
00:12:50,770 --> 00:12:53,981
I was one of the juvenile DAs
when you were a public defender.
222
00:12:55,816 --> 00:12:58,152
Your career
has certainly taken off since then.
223
00:12:58,152 --> 00:12:59,528
As has yours, Your Honor.
224
00:13:00,488 --> 00:13:02,406
Well, you can drop the formality.
225
00:13:03,115 --> 00:13:05,201
We like to keep things casual here.
226
00:13:05,201 --> 00:13:06,535
It's Judge Sandy.
227
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:09,413
Uh, lollipop?
228
00:13:09,413 --> 00:13:12,458
No, thanks, Your Honor.
Thank you. Judge Sandy.
229
00:13:12,458 --> 00:13:14,251
Okay.
230
00:13:15,044 --> 00:13:16,754
Very well. Uh...
231
00:13:16,754 --> 00:13:20,216
Then just a little housekeeping matter
before we begin.
232
00:13:20,925 --> 00:13:22,051
Tardiness.
233
00:13:25,805 --> 00:13:28,182
Yes, Your Honor.
I apologize for being late.
234
00:13:28,182 --> 00:13:31,185
Uh, I was just brought on
as Miss Coleman's counsel, so--
235
00:13:31,185 --> 00:13:34,939
Excuses don't give me thrills
and don't pay my bills, Mr. Haller.
236
00:13:34,939 --> 00:13:37,191
- Right.
- We get the newspaper here too.
237
00:13:37,191 --> 00:13:39,985
I've no doubt you are busy
with all your press commitments,
238
00:13:39,985 --> 00:13:44,657
but the next time you are late,
I will find you in contempt,
239
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:47,034
and you can expect the maximum fine.
240
00:13:49,870 --> 00:13:51,163
Are we good?
241
00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:53,874
Very good, Judge Sandy.
242
00:13:53,874 --> 00:13:56,544
Wonderful. Ernest.
243
00:13:56,544 --> 00:13:58,337
Thank you, Judge Sandy.
244
00:13:58,337 --> 00:14:01,882
The victim in this case, Karen Foster,
is the owner of the Lux...
245
00:14:01,882 --> 00:14:04,677
- Is this the lady I saw outside?
- Yeah.
246
00:14:04,677 --> 00:14:07,388
Miss Foster alleges
that Miss Coleman vandalized her store
247
00:14:07,388 --> 00:14:09,765
causing over $2,000 worth of damage.
248
00:14:09,765 --> 00:14:12,351
I'm sorry, I-- I just see a black wall.
249
00:14:12,351 --> 00:14:13,936
The wall was previously white.
250
00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:18,524
Okay, am I-- Am I missing something?
251
00:14:19,608 --> 00:14:21,443
It's an homage to Virgil Abloh.
252
00:14:22,611 --> 00:14:23,863
The fashion designer?
253
00:14:24,822 --> 00:14:28,325
Off-White?
Anyway, they sell Off-White at her store,
254
00:14:28,325 --> 00:14:30,953
and he died, and I wanted to honor him.
255
00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:34,373
He put words and quotes on his designs
to comment on things.
256
00:14:34,373 --> 00:14:38,711
I see pink and white walls all over LA.
I've never seen a black one.
257
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,132
Judge, um, sidebar? Please?
258
00:14:43,132 --> 00:14:46,051
You see the size of this room, Mr. Haller?
259
00:14:46,051 --> 00:14:48,053
We can all hear everything.
260
00:14:48,053 --> 00:14:50,973
But if you'd like to pretend
we're downtown,
261
00:14:50,973 --> 00:14:54,310
you're welcome to speak
in hushed whispers by my chair.
262
00:14:55,060 --> 00:14:55,895
Thank you.
263
00:14:58,147 --> 00:15:02,818
Your Honor-- Judge Sandy, this is silly.
I mean, she's obviously a smart girl.
264
00:15:03,319 --> 00:15:06,655
Can't we drop the charges?
She will happily paint over the wall.
265
00:15:06,655 --> 00:15:09,700
I'm afraid Miss Foster insists
on pressing charges.
266
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:11,660
Her store's been tagged nonstop recently.
267
00:15:11,660 --> 00:15:14,246
She wants to make a point
so it doesn't happen again.
268
00:15:14,246 --> 00:15:16,123
Maybe we can work out a diversion,
269
00:15:16,123 --> 00:15:19,251
but your client's gonna have to spend
some time on probation.
270
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:24,840
Can I ask for a continuance, then?
I have a full docket and--
271
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,136
So do I, Mr. Haller,
and I can't afford a Lincoln.
272
00:15:30,679 --> 00:15:32,681
I'll give you one day. No more.
273
00:15:32,681 --> 00:15:33,974
Thank you.
274
00:15:33,974 --> 00:15:36,185
Sure you don't want a lollipop?
275
00:15:36,769 --> 00:15:38,604
The watermelon are really good.
276
00:15:40,606 --> 00:15:41,482
Thank you.
277
00:15:44,151 --> 00:15:46,654
I wasn't vandalizing her store. It's art.
278
00:15:47,613 --> 00:15:49,573
Conceptual, but still art.
279
00:15:49,573 --> 00:15:52,242
I'm not an art critic, Angelica.
I'm your lawyer.
280
00:15:52,242 --> 00:15:53,410
What are we gonna do?
281
00:15:53,410 --> 00:15:57,081
I'll think of something. In the meantime,
keep the art in your notebook.
282
00:15:57,081 --> 00:15:58,540
Okay.
283
00:15:59,667 --> 00:16:01,669
- All right. I'll call you.
- All right.
284
00:16:30,406 --> 00:16:33,200
Andy. What couldn't wait
until after lunch?
285
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,285
Do you have more discovery for me?
286
00:16:35,285 --> 00:16:37,371
Maybe a chance for you to avoid it.
287
00:16:37,371 --> 00:16:38,706
Against my better judgment,
288
00:16:38,706 --> 00:16:41,417
my office is willing
to offer your client a plea.
289
00:16:42,167 --> 00:16:46,588
You told me there would be no plea offer,
and you spent all that taxpayer money
290
00:16:46,588 --> 00:16:49,174
delivering a truckload of boxes
to my office, so--
291
00:16:49,174 --> 00:16:50,342
Don't overthink it.
292
00:16:50,342 --> 00:16:53,679
The new mandate from Cardone.
Saving department time and resources.
293
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:55,097
Blah, blah, blah.
294
00:16:55,097 --> 00:16:59,893
We'll go down to voluntary manslaughter.
Midterm, six years.
295
00:17:02,813 --> 00:17:04,982
Well, that's-- That's not crazy, at least.
296
00:17:04,982 --> 00:17:09,028
Seriously? We're coming down
off of premeditated and lying in wait.
297
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:11,238
If you come down to an involuntary...
298
00:17:11,238 --> 00:17:13,657
I'd like to see even you
make a case for that.
299
00:17:13,657 --> 00:17:16,577
What, she just happened to hit him
over the head in his garage?
300
00:17:16,577 --> 00:17:18,954
Come on. She wasn't in the garage.
301
00:17:18,954 --> 00:17:22,082
You have the offer, Haller.
Will she take it or not?
302
00:17:24,835 --> 00:17:27,087
I don't know. I'll try to sell it.
303
00:17:27,087 --> 00:17:31,467
My advice would be that you do
because it's one time and one time only.
304
00:17:31,467 --> 00:17:34,386
You have until tomorrow,
then it's off the table.
305
00:17:34,386 --> 00:17:35,554
I'll talk to her.
306
00:17:36,638 --> 00:17:37,556
Tomorrow.
307
00:17:47,608 --> 00:17:49,485
Department mandate.
308
00:17:49,485 --> 00:17:51,028
Sounds plausible to me.
309
00:17:51,028 --> 00:17:53,322
Freemann notches up a win.
Doesn't have to do any work.
310
00:17:53,322 --> 00:17:57,618
No. I could have kicked her off this case,
and she did everything to stay on it.
311
00:17:57,618 --> 00:18:00,496
She wants to go to trial.
She wants the spotlight.
312
00:18:00,496 --> 00:18:03,165
She wants to beat me again.
It's not gonna happen.
313
00:18:03,165 --> 00:18:05,209
Maybe it really is a mandate
from her boss.
314
00:18:05,209 --> 00:18:06,460
I don't buy that.
315
00:18:06,460 --> 00:18:10,923
No DA gets reelected pleading murders out,
especially high-profile ones.
316
00:18:10,923 --> 00:18:14,676
If they're offering that,
it's because there's something wrong.
317
00:18:14,676 --> 00:18:16,553
Her case has a flaw. A fatal one.
318
00:18:16,553 --> 00:18:19,473
She's burying us with discovery
because she's hiding it.
319
00:18:19,473 --> 00:18:23,393
And we have 24 hours to find out
what that is. 23 and a half now.
320
00:18:23,393 --> 00:18:27,397
If I keep pulling all-nighters,
they'll have to carry me down the aisle.
321
00:18:27,397 --> 00:18:30,609
Plus, I've been through all the forensics.
I've got nothing.
322
00:18:30,609 --> 00:18:34,363
We can start pulling financial statements.
Maybe there's something there.
323
00:18:34,363 --> 00:18:39,326
All right. Let's look for enemies,
angry business partners, jealous lovers.
324
00:18:39,326 --> 00:18:42,538
Anyone who had a grudge
against Bondurant. Where's Cisco, huh?
325
00:18:42,538 --> 00:18:44,998
- Talking to the witness on Lisa's TRO.
- Good.
326
00:18:44,998 --> 00:18:48,418
If we can discredit that witness,
then the TRO is dead in the water.
327
00:18:48,418 --> 00:18:51,755
That's a rung out of their ladder,
but this is the whole ladder.
328
00:18:51,755 --> 00:18:53,132
Let's knock it down.
329
00:19:00,848 --> 00:19:05,269
Mickey, you're letting Andrea get
under your skin. You know that, right?
330
00:19:05,269 --> 00:19:08,397
She's damn good, Lorna.
Maybe even better than Maggie.
331
00:19:08,397 --> 00:19:10,899
Don't tell anyone I said that, all right?
332
00:19:11,733 --> 00:19:14,319
- Where you going?
- I have to bring this plea deal to Lisa.
333
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:15,404
I have no choice.
334
00:19:15,404 --> 00:19:17,447
Don't forget you have Hayley tonight.
335
00:19:17,447 --> 00:19:18,991
I didn't forget.
336
00:19:19,867 --> 00:19:21,285
- Definitely forgot.
- Yep.
337
00:19:30,377 --> 00:19:33,505
The manager says you're looking for me?
About the building permit?
338
00:19:34,464 --> 00:19:35,382
Walter Kim?
339
00:19:35,382 --> 00:19:38,635
That's me. But if you need paperwork,
you need to go down to city hall.
340
00:19:38,635 --> 00:19:43,557
You were a witness on a temporary
restraining order against Lisa Trammell.
341
00:19:43,557 --> 00:19:45,475
So this isn't about the permit.
342
00:19:46,351 --> 00:19:47,853
I'm calling security.
343
00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:49,271
That's your right.
344
00:19:49,271 --> 00:19:52,107
It's my right to file a complaint
about corruption
345
00:19:52,107 --> 00:19:54,443
in the building inspector's office.
346
00:19:54,443 --> 00:19:58,447
Hold on. What corruption?
Who are you anyway?
347
00:19:58,447 --> 00:20:01,950
Lisa Trammell's being accused of a crime
she didn't commit.
348
00:20:01,950 --> 00:20:07,915
One of the reasons for that is this TRO
in which you state she was violent.
349
00:20:07,915 --> 00:20:10,876
She was. Now Mitchell Bondurant is dead,
350
00:20:10,876 --> 00:20:14,463
and you're throwing around accusations
like you know what the hell's up.
351
00:20:14,463 --> 00:20:16,465
Big developer like Bondurant?
352
00:20:16,465 --> 00:20:20,302
He carries a lot of clout
with city inspectors, so I get it.
353
00:20:20,302 --> 00:20:22,763
He asked you to vouch
for his side of the story.
354
00:20:22,763 --> 00:20:23,972
It's not like that.
355
00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:27,142
You were the only witness
356
00:20:27,142 --> 00:20:30,103
who claimed to have seen Lisa
attacking Bondurant.
357
00:20:30,604 --> 00:20:34,566
And this whole TRO rested on your word.
358
00:20:36,610 --> 00:20:37,945
It's not just my word.
359
00:20:49,331 --> 00:20:52,167
No, it's a little different
than film and TV.
360
00:20:52,167 --> 00:20:55,545
I actually produce true-crime podcasts.
361
00:20:55,545 --> 00:20:57,881
Murder on the Hudson?
You may have heard of it?
362
00:20:57,881 --> 00:21:00,509
- Mm-mm.
- No? Ah, it was really great.
363
00:21:00,509 --> 00:21:03,387
It was a hit on the New York Times list
for three months--
364
00:21:03,387 --> 00:21:04,471
Excuse me.
365
00:21:05,973 --> 00:21:06,848
Thank you.
366
00:21:08,016 --> 00:21:10,644
Mr. Haller.
Lisa told me you might show up.
367
00:21:10,644 --> 00:21:12,771
Yeah, well,
what did I tell you about that?
368
00:21:12,771 --> 00:21:14,106
I'm not breaking any rules.
369
00:21:14,106 --> 00:21:17,234
I haven't interviewed Lisa,
just her loyal supporters.
370
00:21:17,234 --> 00:21:19,861
- Now that you're here, did you--
- Don't point that at me.
371
00:21:19,861 --> 00:21:22,572
I still don't want you posting
anything you record.
372
00:21:23,573 --> 00:21:27,619
We got the truth on our side, Mickey.
Nobody's hiding anything.
373
00:21:29,037 --> 00:21:30,998
- Hey.
- Hey.
374
00:21:30,998 --> 00:21:32,165
You made it.
375
00:21:32,165 --> 00:21:34,501
Hey, can we talk in private real quick?
376
00:21:35,210 --> 00:21:36,503
Yeah. Let's take a walk.
377
00:21:39,965 --> 00:21:41,341
A plea deal?
378
00:21:42,050 --> 00:21:43,719
As in, plead guilty?
379
00:21:43,719 --> 00:21:48,098
It's voluntary manslaughter,
which is a huge step down from murder one.
380
00:21:49,641 --> 00:21:50,934
I didn't say to take it.
381
00:21:50,934 --> 00:21:53,603
I'm required to bring you any offer
from the prosecution.
382
00:21:53,603 --> 00:21:55,814
You didn't say I shouldn't take it either.
383
00:21:57,441 --> 00:21:59,109
It's not my call, Lisa.
384
00:21:59,109 --> 00:22:01,695
No. No, the answer is no.
385
00:22:01,695 --> 00:22:04,781
I'm not going to plead guilty
to something I didn't do.
386
00:22:05,657 --> 00:22:09,036
Okay, well, at least
let me explain the offer first.
387
00:22:09,953 --> 00:22:13,707
Voluntary manslaughter
carries a max sentence of 11 years,
388
00:22:13,707 --> 00:22:15,042
suffering six.
389
00:22:15,625 --> 00:22:18,462
Good behavior,
you'll be out in less than five.
390
00:22:18,462 --> 00:22:20,047
I don't believe this.
391
00:22:21,548 --> 00:22:23,508
What about my restaurant, Mickey?
392
00:22:23,508 --> 00:22:25,844
My career? Hell, my life?
393
00:22:26,511 --> 00:22:28,221
What about the alternative?
394
00:22:28,221 --> 00:22:31,350
Which is going to trial
and showing everyone the truth.
395
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:35,937
If the justice system were that simple,
innocent people would never be accused.
396
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,232
Your trial is a gamble.
397
00:22:40,776 --> 00:22:42,903
If we lose, Lisa, it's...
398
00:22:43,487 --> 00:22:45,322
It's life without parole.
399
00:22:52,496 --> 00:22:53,789
Oh my God.
400
00:23:01,922 --> 00:23:03,173
Come on. You okay?
401
00:23:19,606 --> 00:23:24,361
You know, this... nice path wasn't here
when I was a kid.
402
00:23:28,532 --> 00:23:30,659
You came down here at your own risk.
403
00:23:32,536 --> 00:23:35,372
Well, see? Not all gentrification is bad.
404
00:23:41,878 --> 00:23:43,380
What should I do, Mickey?
405
00:23:48,718 --> 00:23:50,178
Okay. We have until tomorrow,
406
00:23:50,178 --> 00:23:53,473
so give me one night
to see if I can find something.
407
00:24:01,898 --> 00:24:04,067
The building inspector took these?
408
00:24:04,067 --> 00:24:06,278
He's the witness on the TRO.
409
00:24:11,491 --> 00:24:12,742
Oh shit.
410
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,455
I told Lisa to give us a night
to find something,
411
00:24:16,455 --> 00:24:18,039
and everything we find is bad.
412
00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:19,374
There is some good news.
413
00:24:19,374 --> 00:24:22,043
We cross-referenced Bondurant's books
with his tax return.
414
00:24:22,043 --> 00:24:25,505
Turns out he was bleeding money.
Took a $200 million loss last year.
415
00:24:25,505 --> 00:24:26,673
200 million?
416
00:24:26,673 --> 00:24:28,466
Uh-huh. Two, zero, zero.
417
00:24:28,466 --> 00:24:31,178
Most of it's connected to
an unfinished apartment complex
418
00:24:31,178 --> 00:24:32,679
called "The Terrazzo."
419
00:24:33,472 --> 00:24:36,475
- That big ugly thing off the 110?
- That's the one.
420
00:24:36,475 --> 00:24:41,938
It was sitting empty for three years,
bleeding Bondurant dry. Permitting issues.
421
00:24:41,938 --> 00:24:46,109
There were questions about
exceeding zoning limits. In LA, go figure.
422
00:24:46,109 --> 00:24:48,320
Plenty of players involved, Mick.
423
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,364
Bondurant owed money to a lot of people.
424
00:24:51,364 --> 00:24:55,243
Which means a lot of suspects,
so divide and conquer.
425
00:24:55,243 --> 00:24:58,413
We're looking for anything in those files
that mention The Terrazzo.
426
00:24:58,413 --> 00:24:59,831
I'm way ahead of you.
427
00:24:59,831 --> 00:25:03,710
I already sent you your share of the work,
plus a bit extra for those all-nighters.
428
00:25:03,710 --> 00:25:04,920
Yeah, I can't wait.
429
00:25:05,420 --> 00:25:08,715
We're gonna find it,
whatever Freemann's afraid of. Keep it up.
430
00:25:21,394 --> 00:25:22,521
Where you going?
431
00:25:23,063 --> 00:25:25,815
Uh, I gotta take care of something.
432
00:25:26,691 --> 00:25:28,527
If I don't do it now, it, uh...
433
00:25:29,194 --> 00:25:30,779
Yeah. Can't wait.
434
00:25:30,779 --> 00:25:32,364
Does it have to do with Kaz?
435
00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:35,408
I usually drive him
to his parole officer meeting,
436
00:25:35,408 --> 00:25:38,662
but this morning,
he canceled on me, and then he...
437
00:25:40,455 --> 00:25:43,166
He might be doing
something stupid.
438
00:25:43,166 --> 00:25:47,295
And if I don't deal with it now,
then it's gonna go bad for him.
439
00:25:47,295 --> 00:25:48,547
And for you?
440
00:25:50,131 --> 00:25:51,800
I gotta put an end to this.
441
00:25:53,134 --> 00:25:54,052
All of it.
442
00:26:00,141 --> 00:26:05,438
Izzy and I have things here under control.
Hurry back. You hear me? And be careful.
443
00:26:07,232 --> 00:26:08,108
Hey.
444
00:26:09,442 --> 00:26:11,069
Be careful.
445
00:26:40,223 --> 00:26:41,558
That...
446
00:26:43,018 --> 00:26:44,311
Can I get another Coke?
447
00:26:45,478 --> 00:26:46,938
Only if I get half.
448
00:26:48,189 --> 00:26:49,190
All right.
449
00:26:50,859 --> 00:26:55,196
Whatever you're working on must be even
more boring than my homework.
450
00:26:55,196 --> 00:26:59,159
It's real estate documents.
I don't understand half of them.
451
00:27:00,952 --> 00:27:03,038
I'm gonna have to make
a pot of coffee later.
452
00:27:03,997 --> 00:27:08,043
Well, when I can't focus,
I switch subjects for a minute.
453
00:27:08,668 --> 00:27:09,628
Usually helps.
454
00:27:11,921 --> 00:27:14,507
Yeah. That's a good idea.
455
00:27:30,857 --> 00:27:36,112
If you saw this on the side of a building,
would you think it's art or vandalism?
456
00:27:37,656 --> 00:27:40,742
It just looks like a cool place
to take a selfie.
457
00:27:40,742 --> 00:27:43,828
You know, it's like the, um,
the pink Paul Smith wall,
458
00:27:43,828 --> 00:27:45,455
or those angel wings.
459
00:27:45,455 --> 00:27:48,083
- Hmm.
- We're always looking for the next thing.
460
00:27:50,210 --> 00:27:53,755
Right. Influencers make a lot of money
out of these, right?
461
00:27:53,755 --> 00:27:56,841
Yeah, sure. Especially if it goes viral.
462
00:28:09,145 --> 00:28:13,316
Hey, Terrell. I have an idea.
You say you're working for the Lakers.
463
00:28:15,151 --> 00:28:17,112
Hey, I don't mean to be nosy,
464
00:28:17,112 --> 00:28:20,865
but, uh, did you ever talk to Cisco
about those credit card charges?
465
00:28:20,865 --> 00:28:23,368
Yeah, we're good.
At least he wasn't cheating on me.
466
00:28:23,368 --> 00:28:24,911
Yeah, I didn't think so.
467
00:28:26,037 --> 00:28:28,665
He was just dealing with some stuff
with an old friend.
468
00:28:29,249 --> 00:28:30,750
Someone from the Road Saints?
469
00:28:31,835 --> 00:28:36,881
Sorta. And he didn't want me to worry,
which only made it worse.
470
00:28:36,881 --> 00:28:38,091
Mm.
471
00:28:38,091 --> 00:28:43,221
I don't know if you've noticed,
but he's not exactly the most chatty.
472
00:28:43,221 --> 00:28:45,515
Yeah. Yeah, I got that.
473
00:28:47,183 --> 00:28:49,769
So, uh, is that where he is now?
474
00:28:51,229 --> 00:28:52,522
Unfortunately.
475
00:28:55,775 --> 00:28:56,651
Lorna.
476
00:29:00,572 --> 00:29:01,740
Is Cisco okay?
477
00:29:04,784 --> 00:29:06,161
Honestly, I don't know.
478
00:29:53,917 --> 00:29:55,084
Cisco, what the fuck?
479
00:29:55,084 --> 00:29:57,378
Why are you looking
over your shoulder, Kaz?
480
00:29:58,254 --> 00:30:00,340
- You worried about something?
- No, I was--
481
00:30:00,340 --> 00:30:02,258
Oh, you're going somewhere, huh?
482
00:30:03,676 --> 00:30:05,220
Were you even gonna say goodbye?
483
00:30:08,264 --> 00:30:10,934
Teddy thinks you're a rat,
484
00:30:10,934 --> 00:30:15,021
and I swore on my life that you weren't
because I trusted you.
485
00:30:16,564 --> 00:30:18,900
But I guess I was wrong.
486
00:30:24,322 --> 00:30:25,406
You following me?
487
00:30:30,245 --> 00:30:33,248
- It's not like that.
- Yeah? What's it like, Kaz? Hmm?
488
00:30:33,248 --> 00:30:34,666
Who are you meeting with?
489
00:30:38,545 --> 00:30:39,546
The feds.
490
00:30:41,047 --> 00:30:42,173
I didn't have a choice.
491
00:30:42,173 --> 00:30:44,717
Shit went down in Corcoran,
and this guy jumped up.
492
00:30:44,717 --> 00:30:48,137
One thing led to another, and I--
It was self-defense!
493
00:30:48,137 --> 00:30:51,891
And the fed, the guy in the photo,
they were gonna use it to lean on me.
494
00:30:52,517 --> 00:30:55,520
Cisco, they were
gonna charge me with murder.
495
00:30:56,104 --> 00:30:57,605
Why didn't you tell me?
496
00:30:58,815 --> 00:31:00,400
I didn't wanna get you involved.
497
00:31:02,068 --> 00:31:03,820
I had to get out from under this.
498
00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:07,532
I can run from the Saints,
but I can't run from the feds.
499
00:31:07,532 --> 00:31:09,534
What did you tell your handler?
500
00:31:09,534 --> 00:31:13,496
I told him Hard Case Casey got hammered
and ran his mouth about a gun run.
501
00:31:13,496 --> 00:31:15,999
Six figures of metal
traveling through the clubhouse.
502
00:31:15,999 --> 00:31:18,209
Now my fingerprints
are nowhere near this deal.
503
00:31:18,209 --> 00:31:22,130
So I figured it'd be
a good piece of info to trade.
504
00:31:22,130 --> 00:31:25,884
If anything, Teddy's gonna think
it was Casey who tipped off ATF.
505
00:31:25,884 --> 00:31:27,093
No, you fuck!
506
00:31:27,719 --> 00:31:30,388
I already told you
Teddy thinks you're the snitch.
507
00:31:30,889 --> 00:31:34,475
And if the ATF raids him,
then he'll know it's you,
508
00:31:34,475 --> 00:31:36,853
and he'll blame me
'cause I vouched for you!
509
00:31:39,105 --> 00:31:40,273
Let me talk to my guy.
510
00:31:40,982 --> 00:31:44,694
I'm gonna talk to my guy.
He's puttin' me in witness protection.
511
00:31:45,445 --> 00:31:47,947
Maybe he can help you. I can--
512
00:31:51,909 --> 00:31:53,328
I got a new life,
513
00:31:54,370 --> 00:31:57,373
a good job, a woman that I love.
514
00:31:57,999 --> 00:32:00,251
And I can't just walk away.
515
00:32:01,294 --> 00:32:02,712
And I won't walk away.
516
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,091
This whole situation, it is fucked!
517
00:32:52,845 --> 00:32:54,597
Leave me a message.
518
00:32:55,682 --> 00:32:57,350
Cisco, it's me. Call me back.
519
00:32:57,350 --> 00:33:00,561
I think I've got something,
but I need you on it ASAP.
520
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:10,196
- Hey, Mick.
- Hey. Any luck over there?
521
00:33:10,196 --> 00:33:13,366
No, just a bunch of emails from Bondurant
bullying people.
522
00:33:13,366 --> 00:33:15,284
Employees, tenants.
523
00:33:15,284 --> 00:33:17,453
The custodian
for not taking out the trash.
524
00:33:17,453 --> 00:33:21,916
- Any luck with those credit card reports?
- He spent $1,000 on a single massage.
525
00:33:21,916 --> 00:33:24,669
Although that sounds like motive
to keep someone alive.
526
00:33:24,669 --> 00:33:27,505
Also, I'm guessing
it wasn't just a massage.
527
00:33:27,505 --> 00:33:30,049
This feels like
a weird game of Clue, Mick.
528
00:33:30,049 --> 00:33:32,719
It was the janitor
in the parking garage with a pipe.
529
00:33:32,719 --> 00:33:34,804
Well, I think I found something.
530
00:33:34,804 --> 00:33:38,057
An email from Bondurant
to a guy named Alex Grant.
531
00:33:38,057 --> 00:33:40,977
He was a contractor at The Terrazzo.
Listen to this.
532
00:33:40,977 --> 00:33:44,856
"I, therefore, demand a full refund
of all payments made thus far."
533
00:33:44,856 --> 00:33:46,566
"If we cannot agree on terms,
534
00:33:46,566 --> 00:33:48,943
I will have no choice
but to pursue this matter
535
00:33:48,943 --> 00:33:50,945
through the appropriate legal channels."
536
00:33:50,945 --> 00:33:53,698
"Reporting it to our lenders,
which, as fiduciaries,
537
00:33:53,698 --> 00:33:57,702
are required under federal law
to report any suspicious activity."
538
00:33:57,702 --> 00:34:01,039
- Hmm.
- Which means... what exactly?
539
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:04,250
A suspicious activity report
is a form banks have to file
540
00:34:04,250 --> 00:34:07,003
when they suspect wrongdoing
in a financial transaction.
541
00:34:07,003 --> 00:34:09,172
The bank has to report it
to the authorities.
542
00:34:09,172 --> 00:34:11,632
He'll go to the feds
if he doesn't get what he wants?
543
00:34:11,632 --> 00:34:14,010
And Bondurant is
demanding millions
544
00:34:14,010 --> 00:34:15,428
even though he owes millions.
545
00:34:15,428 --> 00:34:17,555
This sounds like Bondurant's MO.
546
00:34:17,555 --> 00:34:20,099
Yeah, but the question is this.
What was the threat?
547
00:34:20,099 --> 00:34:23,686
What's the suspicious activity
the feds might be interested in?
548
00:34:23,686 --> 00:34:24,604
Is Cisco there?
549
00:34:25,229 --> 00:34:28,149
Uh, no, he--
He just ran out for a coffee run.
550
00:34:28,149 --> 00:34:31,194
I've been calling all day.
He doesn't answer. It's not like him.
551
00:34:31,194 --> 00:34:34,322
Oh, he just left his phone here, so...
552
00:34:34,822 --> 00:34:36,616
Whatever. I gotta sleep.
553
00:34:36,616 --> 00:34:39,368
Just tell him to call me
first thing in the morning.
554
00:34:39,368 --> 00:34:40,661
I need him on this, Lorna.
555
00:34:40,661 --> 00:34:41,704
Okay, great.
556
00:34:41,704 --> 00:34:42,747
Good night.
557
00:34:45,875 --> 00:34:47,126
I swear, I never lie.
558
00:34:48,961 --> 00:34:49,796
Almost never.
559
00:34:50,755 --> 00:34:52,715
It's all good. I got your back.
560
00:35:19,408 --> 00:35:22,203
Mr. Haller,
what did I say about tardiness?
561
00:35:22,203 --> 00:35:25,414
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
I-I know I'm late and have no excuse.
562
00:35:25,414 --> 00:35:28,334
You can give me whatever fine
you think is appropriate.
563
00:35:28,334 --> 00:35:29,794
If you allow me a moment,
564
00:35:29,794 --> 00:35:33,714
I, uh, I think we can move this case
off your docket very quickly.
565
00:35:34,549 --> 00:35:35,424
May I?
566
00:35:37,051 --> 00:35:39,637
Don't even think about the watermelon.
567
00:35:39,637 --> 00:35:40,555
Right.
568
00:35:42,181 --> 00:35:45,017
Uh, can I confer with Karen?
569
00:35:45,726 --> 00:35:46,602
Sure.
570
00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:51,566
I know you've recommended
a diversion.
571
00:35:51,566 --> 00:35:55,027
The problem with a diversion
is that probation goes on her record.
572
00:35:55,027 --> 00:35:58,656
I'm gonna ask one more time
if you're open to dropping the charges.
573
00:35:58,656 --> 00:36:00,825
I mean, she's only 14.
574
00:36:00,825 --> 00:36:04,078
There are custody issues here
that have nothing to do with this case.
575
00:36:04,078 --> 00:36:06,956
She should have thought of that
before defacing my store.
576
00:36:07,456 --> 00:36:10,042
We can discuss
alternative sentencing with the judge.
577
00:36:10,042 --> 00:36:11,627
That's the best I can do.
578
00:36:12,670 --> 00:36:14,964
Okay. Then, uh, in that case,
579
00:36:14,964 --> 00:36:19,635
this is a copyright application
for my client's artwork titled Black Wall.
580
00:36:21,220 --> 00:36:24,765
I'm sorry.
Are you calling her graffiti art?
581
00:36:24,765 --> 00:36:28,185
She painted my wall without permission.
That's vandalism.
582
00:36:28,185 --> 00:36:30,438
I'm afraid
that's in the eye of the beholder.
583
00:36:30,438 --> 00:36:34,317
The law is very protective of artists
and their work. Street art included.
584
00:36:34,317 --> 00:36:36,402
But it doesn't negate
the vandalism charge.
585
00:36:36,402 --> 00:36:38,279
No, but this might.
586
00:36:38,279 --> 00:36:41,407
This is your store's Instagram page,
and that is a promotional post
587
00:36:41,407 --> 00:36:45,912
featuring one of your salespeople
in front of my client's protected artwork
588
00:36:45,912 --> 00:36:49,832
with former Laker
and seven-time NBA champion Robert Horry,
589
00:36:49,832 --> 00:36:51,918
without compensation, I must add.
590
00:36:52,418 --> 00:36:53,669
You can't be serious.
591
00:36:53,669 --> 00:36:56,422
This is not promotional material.
592
00:36:56,422 --> 00:37:00,301
It's just one of my employees posing
with some basketball player.
593
00:37:00,301 --> 00:37:02,053
Does the caption not say,
594
00:37:02,053 --> 00:37:06,182
"Shop at The Lux
like Laker Legend Big Shot Bob Horry"?
595
00:37:06,974 --> 00:37:09,227
I don't even handle our Instagram.
596
00:37:09,227 --> 00:37:11,103
He doesn't have a case, does he?
597
00:37:11,103 --> 00:37:15,566
Using my client's protected artwork
in your advertising without her permission
598
00:37:15,566 --> 00:37:18,903
opens you up to a lawsuit,
which I will happily file.
599
00:37:18,903 --> 00:37:21,822
That's if you really wanna
continue this dispute.
600
00:37:22,657 --> 00:37:24,367
Just give me a second.
601
00:37:25,660 --> 00:37:26,994
Take all the time you need.
602
00:37:31,832 --> 00:37:32,708
Well played.
603
00:37:33,376 --> 00:37:35,711
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut
now and then.
604
00:37:35,711 --> 00:37:36,754
Counsel.
605
00:37:39,048 --> 00:37:42,468
I told you I can hear every word in here.
606
00:37:42,969 --> 00:37:44,762
It's a wood-paneled shoebox.
607
00:37:47,390 --> 00:37:49,642
Very clever, Mr. Haller.
608
00:37:50,893 --> 00:37:53,104
Take a watermelon for the road.
609
00:37:53,854 --> 00:37:55,231
Oh. Thank you.
610
00:37:56,232 --> 00:37:59,652
I assume if we drop the charges,
your client will still repaint the wall?
611
00:37:59,652 --> 00:38:03,072
No, I don't think she wants the wall
repainted anymore. Do you, Karen?
612
00:38:04,281 --> 00:38:07,743
See, I was late today because
I drove by your store on the way here.
613
00:38:07,743 --> 00:38:09,996
There's already a line down the block.
614
00:38:09,996 --> 00:38:12,248
Amazing what a little publicity can do.
615
00:38:15,418 --> 00:38:20,423
Fine. Leave the wall as it is,
and I will drop all the charges.
616
00:38:21,090 --> 00:38:22,508
You'll do more than that.
617
00:38:22,508 --> 00:38:24,135
You'll pay Angelica royalties
618
00:38:24,135 --> 00:38:26,846
on all sales made
since her artwork went up.
619
00:38:26,846 --> 00:38:28,180
Say, 5%?
620
00:38:31,434 --> 00:38:33,561
- Two and a half.
- Three, and you have a deal.
621
00:38:41,152 --> 00:38:43,404
When Terrell called me,
I thought he was crazy.
622
00:38:43,404 --> 00:38:45,865
He said, "You really want me to do what?"
623
00:38:45,865 --> 00:38:49,994
No, crazy was watching you sink
that Game 4 winner against the Kings.
624
00:38:49,994 --> 00:38:52,204
'02. You were at that game?
625
00:38:52,204 --> 00:38:54,165
I was a law student with no money.
626
00:38:54,165 --> 00:38:57,001
Had to watch it outside the Staples Center
on the big screen.
627
00:38:57,001 --> 00:39:00,296
If you need a new case, I've been known
to rob people in the playoffs.
628
00:39:00,296 --> 00:39:02,006
- Excuse me.
- Excuse me.
629
00:39:02,506 --> 00:39:04,759
You don't have to stand in the cold now.
630
00:39:04,759 --> 00:39:08,179
At least let me get you tickets to a game.
You guys can sit together.
631
00:39:08,179 --> 00:39:09,388
Don't worry about it.
632
00:39:09,388 --> 00:39:11,515
Are you sure? I owe you, Mickey Haller.
633
00:39:11,515 --> 00:39:13,309
Come on. I'm just happy to help.
634
00:39:13,309 --> 00:39:14,310
I'll pay.
635
00:39:15,394 --> 00:39:18,689
What? Karen isn't the only one
getting money off my work.
636
00:39:18,689 --> 00:39:21,233
People are raising money on social
to finance me,
637
00:39:21,233 --> 00:39:23,277
and now you got me royalties too?
638
00:39:24,070 --> 00:39:26,197
- What's your hourly?
- Okay.
639
00:39:26,197 --> 00:39:29,909
I'll just call it 500.
So gotta account for early traffic.
640
00:39:29,909 --> 00:39:32,536
So, that's what? Six hours worked,
641
00:39:32,536 --> 00:39:35,664
even though it was my dad
who came through with Big Shot Rob.
642
00:39:35,664 --> 00:39:40,878
So that's 3,000, but you're gonna give us
a friends-and-family discount, right?
643
00:39:41,462 --> 00:39:43,339
So, 2,500?
644
00:39:44,465 --> 00:39:46,133
Okay, if you say so.
645
00:39:46,133 --> 00:39:48,260
Great. You got Venmo?
646
00:39:48,260 --> 00:39:49,595
That's my baby right there.
647
00:39:49,595 --> 00:39:52,056
If she ever wants to be a lawyer,
you give me a call.
648
00:39:52,890 --> 00:39:54,392
- Thank you.
- Of course.
649
00:39:54,975 --> 00:39:56,435
I'll send you that invoice.
650
00:39:59,980 --> 00:40:02,608
Argel Construction,
Alex Grant's company.
651
00:40:02,608 --> 00:40:05,027
He's the contractor from The Terrazzo.
652
00:40:05,027 --> 00:40:09,824
The address is a building in Glendale,
but when I went down there,
653
00:40:09,824 --> 00:40:11,867
place was locked up tighter than a drum.
654
00:40:11,867 --> 00:40:15,413
So I looked up the building's owner.
Her name is Ada Kazarian.
655
00:40:15,413 --> 00:40:16,831
- Armenian?
- Uh-huh.
656
00:40:16,831 --> 00:40:19,834
Now, Grant isn't an Armenian name,
657
00:40:19,834 --> 00:40:22,086
but it didn't take me long to figure out
658
00:40:22,086 --> 00:40:27,091
that Alex Grant is, in fact,
Alex Kazarian, Ada's brother.
659
00:40:27,091 --> 00:40:29,510
Right, so he changed his name.
That's not a crime.
660
00:40:29,510 --> 00:40:30,970
Take a look at the last page.
661
00:40:33,556 --> 00:40:38,018
That is Ada and Alex's father,
Sasha Kazarian.
662
00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:42,690
He's currently serving 27 years
in a federal supermax
663
00:40:42,690 --> 00:40:44,859
from where, by all accounts,
664
00:40:44,859 --> 00:40:46,819
he continues to be the head
665
00:40:46,819 --> 00:40:49,947
of one of the biggest Armenian
crime families on the West Coast.
666
00:40:51,740 --> 00:40:54,076
Ah. Now, that's a reason
to change your name.
667
00:40:54,076 --> 00:40:55,202
Lorna!
668
00:40:55,202 --> 00:40:56,162
Yeah?
669
00:40:56,162 --> 00:40:58,455
You have that email
from Bondurant to Alex Grant?
670
00:40:58,455 --> 00:41:00,624
- Mm-hmm.
- Can you read it to me, please?
671
00:41:00,624 --> 00:41:03,294
"If we cannot agree on terms,
I will have no choice
672
00:41:03,294 --> 00:41:06,338
but to pursue this matter
through the appropriate legal channels."
673
00:41:06,338 --> 00:41:09,383
"That includes reporting it
to our lenders, which, as fiduciaries,
674
00:41:09,383 --> 00:41:12,428
are required under federal law
to report any suspicious activity."
675
00:41:12,428 --> 00:41:16,056
Okay, so this isn't a business dispute.
It's extortion.
676
00:41:16,056 --> 00:41:18,684
Mitchell Bondurant was bleeding money
from The Terrazzo,
677
00:41:18,684 --> 00:41:20,769
and he wanted Alex Grant
to share the burden,
678
00:41:20,769 --> 00:41:22,480
or he was going to expose him.
679
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,148
But expose what?
680
00:41:24,148 --> 00:41:27,526
That Kazarian
is connected to organized crime?
681
00:41:27,526 --> 00:41:31,113
Maybe. Maybe he was skimming money,
and Bondurant wanted in.
682
00:41:31,113 --> 00:41:33,407
Maybe something else was going on.
I don't know.
683
00:41:33,407 --> 00:41:37,369
Either way, it's a compelling reason
to kill somebody, right?
684
00:41:38,412 --> 00:41:40,456
- Care to fill us in?
- Please.
685
00:41:40,456 --> 00:41:45,085
This is what Andrea was trying to hide,
which means we found a straw man.
686
00:41:51,842 --> 00:41:53,052
I'm on pins and needles.
687
00:41:53,052 --> 00:41:55,262
We found something. Something good.
688
00:41:55,262 --> 00:41:57,014
Oh, thank God.
689
00:41:57,014 --> 00:42:00,392
Yeah. It's up to you,
and there's never any guarantee.
690
00:42:00,392 --> 00:42:02,770
So, what do you wanna do?
691
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,732
If you found something,
then we fight, right?
692
00:42:07,942 --> 00:42:08,776
Right.
693
00:42:08,776 --> 00:42:10,069
I'll call you later.
694
00:42:18,077 --> 00:42:20,287
Hey. Everything okay?
695
00:42:21,038 --> 00:42:22,790
Um, not yet.
696
00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:24,792
But I'm working on it.
697
00:42:27,836 --> 00:42:28,963
Ahem.
698
00:42:30,381 --> 00:42:31,715
Uh,
699
00:42:31,715 --> 00:42:33,551
appreciate all your help.
700
00:42:34,093 --> 00:42:37,263
All in a day's work.
And I do mean a 24-hour day.
701
00:42:37,846 --> 00:42:39,390
See ya.
702
00:42:39,390 --> 00:42:42,560
Oh! I thought you might
appreciate the red.
703
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,186
Izzy suggested a tux.
704
00:42:45,271 --> 00:42:48,732
I'm not really in a position
to draw a line in the sand.
705
00:42:49,525 --> 00:42:51,110
- Am I?
- No.
706
00:43:09,378 --> 00:43:10,212
So?
707
00:43:10,713 --> 00:43:13,924
No deal, Andy.
My client wants to go to trial.
708
00:43:15,926 --> 00:43:18,262
You buried it well, but we found it.
709
00:43:18,262 --> 00:43:21,765
Wait, is this about the plea deal?
I pulled that offer this morning.
710
00:43:24,393 --> 00:43:25,853
You said 24 hours.
711
00:43:25,853 --> 00:43:29,398
I said, "Until tomorrow."
It's semantics either way.
712
00:43:29,398 --> 00:43:32,484
But there's no longer an offer
for you to accept or reject.
713
00:43:33,902 --> 00:43:37,239
Let's just say
circumstances on the ground have changed.
714
00:43:39,616 --> 00:43:40,951
See you in court, Haller.
715
00:43:51,754 --> 00:43:53,422
What? We're going home.
716
00:43:53,422 --> 00:43:55,132
She just pulled the offer.
717
00:43:56,008 --> 00:43:57,885
She pulled the offer?
718
00:43:58,636 --> 00:44:00,929
- What does that mean?
- She's not afraid anymore.
719
00:44:00,929 --> 00:44:05,017
She found something. Something that'll
blow us out of the water.
720
00:44:05,017 --> 00:44:07,895
So now we have to figure out what that is.
721
00:44:08,437 --> 00:44:09,396
Yeah.
722
00:44:10,731 --> 00:44:12,608
Cancel your plans, everyone.
723
00:44:12,608 --> 00:44:14,818
It's gonna be another long night.
