1
00:00:07,050 --> 00:00:09,635
You think there's a chance
Elliott might be innocent?
2
00:00:09,719 --> 00:00:12,013
In my business,
that would be what we call a unicorn.
3
00:00:12,096 --> 00:00:13,347
You ever had one before?
4
00:00:13,431 --> 00:00:16,225
Jesús Menendez.
He's doing 15 years for murder.
5
00:00:16,309 --> 00:00:19,729
A witness disappeared on me.
Without her, he was looking at life.
6
00:00:19,812 --> 00:00:22,398
The court finds
Mr. Soto is a flight risk.
7
00:00:22,482 --> 00:00:24,400
Bail will be set at $2 million.
8
00:00:24,484 --> 00:00:26,277
Get here right away.
It's your witness.
9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:27,653
It's my fault.
10
00:00:27,737 --> 00:00:29,989
He didn't wanna do it,
and I pressured him.
11
00:00:30,073 --> 00:00:33,117
Come here. It's okay.
12
00:00:33,785 --> 00:00:35,203
No, you did everything you could.
13
00:00:37,330 --> 00:00:39,165
-I should, um…
-Yeah.
14
00:00:39,248 --> 00:00:41,209
I don't know
what the Feds spoke to Jerry about.
15
00:00:41,292 --> 00:00:43,544
Couple days ago, my assistant told me
16
00:00:43,628 --> 00:00:46,339
there's over a hundred grand
missing from his accounts.
17
00:00:46,422 --> 00:00:48,925
Now we got
two other people to point the finger at?
18
00:00:49,008 --> 00:00:50,760
Neema Shavar.
19
00:00:50,843 --> 00:00:52,887
She was giving money
to this guy, Rilz, too.
20
00:00:52,970 --> 00:00:57,016
And she has a husband.
He runs a private security company.
21
00:00:57,100 --> 00:00:59,685
Trevor,
jury selection starts Wednesday.
22
00:00:59,769 --> 00:01:04,107
The 12 citizens will decide if you spend
the rest of your life in prison or not.
23
00:01:04,190 --> 00:01:06,067
Once we pick a jury,
there's no turning back.
24
00:01:06,150 --> 00:01:08,236
Clear your calendar. We have work to do.
25
00:01:26,963 --> 00:01:27,880
Thanks.
26
00:01:29,006 --> 00:01:30,299
No. This is me.
27
00:01:31,134 --> 00:01:33,344
Okay, I get it.
28
00:01:33,427 --> 00:01:36,514
You brought me here
to take me down a peg. Is that it?
29
00:01:36,597 --> 00:01:38,558
Rich guy only eats at Nobu.
30
00:01:39,392 --> 00:01:42,145
I make video games.
You think I never had Pink's before?
31
00:01:42,228 --> 00:01:44,939
I brought you here
because I wanted a chili dog.
32
00:01:45,022 --> 00:01:46,983
And another reason, too.
33
00:01:47,066 --> 00:01:48,442
Look around you, Trevor.
34
00:01:49,610 --> 00:01:51,320
This is your jury pool.
35
00:01:51,904 --> 00:01:54,699
My father
used to call the jury the Gods of Guilt
36
00:01:54,782 --> 00:01:56,951
because at the end of the day,
they decide.
37
00:01:57,034 --> 00:01:59,954
You might think your trial
starts with the opening statement.
38
00:02:00,037 --> 00:02:03,082
It doesn't.
It starts tomorrow with jury selection.
39
00:02:03,166 --> 00:02:07,044
With them. Every single one
of them will scrutinize you
40
00:02:07,128 --> 00:02:08,671
as soon as you park at the courthouse.
41
00:02:08,754 --> 00:02:10,339
They will judge what you drive,
42
00:02:10,423 --> 00:02:12,633
how you dress,
every single expression you make.
43
00:02:12,717 --> 00:02:15,928
-So, please don't make any.
-I really can't drive my own car?
44
00:02:16,846 --> 00:02:19,599
The one that costs five times
what your jurors make in a year?
45
00:02:21,309 --> 00:02:23,352
Lara's Prius is still in the garage.
46
00:02:23,436 --> 00:02:24,520
Good.
47
00:02:24,604 --> 00:02:25,521
Okay, what else?
48
00:02:26,689 --> 00:02:27,690
From you, nothing.
49
00:02:28,774 --> 00:02:31,360
We've got the best
jury consultants in town.
50
00:02:31,444 --> 00:02:32,695
They charge accordingly.
51
00:02:33,613 --> 00:02:36,908
-Just sign this agreement.
-I don't want a jury consultant.
52
00:02:36,991 --> 00:02:38,910
What? Why?
53
00:02:38,993 --> 00:02:41,245
You remember
the last celebrity trial you saw?
54
00:02:41,329 --> 00:02:44,457
People see a rich guy
hiding behind a wall of suits,
55
00:02:44,540 --> 00:02:46,500
they automatically think you're guilty.
56
00:02:46,584 --> 00:02:48,419
I know how to read people, Mickey.
57
00:02:48,502 --> 00:02:51,005
I know what they like.
That's how I got where I am.
58
00:02:51,797 --> 00:02:55,468
I trust my own instincts and yours,
not some consultant I never met.
59
00:02:55,551 --> 00:02:59,347
I appreciate the confidence, Trevor,
but we need all the help we can get,
60
00:02:59,430 --> 00:03:00,765
so please just sign here.
61
00:03:01,349 --> 00:03:02,475
Let me be clear.
62
00:03:03,559 --> 00:03:04,810
No jury consultant.
63
00:03:16,948 --> 00:03:20,117
-What are we doin' here?
-Trevor doesn't want a jury consultant.
64
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,329
-So?
-So I'm not hiring one.
65
00:03:32,296 --> 00:03:34,298
-'Sup, Haller?
-'Sup, Bubba? She here?
66
00:03:56,362 --> 00:03:57,196
Call.
67
00:03:59,198 --> 00:04:02,285
The chances somebody
doesn't have a full house are not good.
68
00:04:20,970 --> 00:04:21,804
Ten thousand.
69
00:04:24,265 --> 00:04:25,099
All in.
70
00:04:30,062 --> 00:04:31,105
Call.
71
00:04:40,656 --> 00:04:43,451
Kings full. Caught it on a river.
72
00:04:43,534 --> 00:04:46,037
Sorry, big baby. Four of a kind.
73
00:04:49,665 --> 00:04:50,499
Straight flush.
74
00:04:53,252 --> 00:04:54,128
Fuck.
75
00:05:06,599 --> 00:05:07,850
Mickey Haller.
76
00:05:09,101 --> 00:05:11,228
Hey, stranger, it's been a while.
77
00:05:12,104 --> 00:05:14,023
Trying to live the clean life.
78
00:05:14,106 --> 00:05:15,232
Yeah, you and me both.
79
00:05:16,776 --> 00:05:20,196
Listen, uh,
I need your help on a murder trial.
80
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,324
I just made more on one hand
than you can pay me in a week.
81
00:05:23,407 --> 00:05:24,408
I know.
82
00:05:24,492 --> 00:05:27,703
I also know reading people
is a skill that has to be practiced.
83
00:05:27,787 --> 00:05:30,748
I'm just giving you
the opportunity to do what you do best.
84
00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:32,583
Hmm.
85
00:05:32,666 --> 00:05:34,335
You always were a sweet talker.
86
00:05:35,669 --> 00:05:36,754
I can give you a day.
87
00:05:36,837 --> 00:05:39,090
Fair enough. I'll text you the details.
88
00:05:39,173 --> 00:05:42,134
Just one thing, my client can't know.
89
00:05:43,969 --> 00:05:45,679
Well, I'm nothing if not discreet.
90
00:06:05,825 --> 00:06:08,619
You've reached Maggie McPherson.
Please leave a message.
91
00:06:09,286 --> 00:06:11,831
-Hey, Mags, it's me.
92
00:06:13,290 --> 00:06:16,377
Look, I'm really sorry about your witness.
93
00:06:18,212 --> 00:06:21,340
And, uh, I'm sorry
how we left things last night.
94
00:06:22,842 --> 00:06:24,885
Anyway, I'll try you later. Okay?
95
00:06:25,511 --> 00:06:26,512
Bye.
96
00:06:34,061 --> 00:06:37,148
Janelle Simmons
has made women in Los Angeles less safe.
97
00:06:37,231 --> 00:06:39,108
As chief of the Major Crimes Unit,
98
00:06:39,191 --> 00:06:41,819
she stood by
while an overburdened laboratory
99
00:06:41,902 --> 00:06:44,697
neglected rape kits, and tainted evidence.
100
00:06:44,780 --> 00:06:47,783
Her negligence victimized women again.
101
00:06:47,867 --> 00:06:50,953
When you needed her,
Janelle Simmons didn't do her job.
102
00:06:51,036 --> 00:06:53,747
Vote Robert Cardone for district attorney.
103
00:06:53,831 --> 00:06:56,500
I'm Bob Cardone
and I approve this message.
104
00:06:57,376 --> 00:07:00,004
Every crime lab
in the country is backed up.
105
00:07:00,087 --> 00:07:02,089
And he's in charge of conviction review.
106
00:07:02,173 --> 00:07:04,884
He's just milking this
to make me look bad.
107
00:07:05,926 --> 00:07:08,846
Right now,
every case needs to be airtight.
108
00:07:08,929 --> 00:07:10,890
Well, we are airtight, Janelle.
109
00:07:10,973 --> 00:07:12,766
Your lead witness is dead.
110
00:07:13,309 --> 00:07:15,686
Because Angelo Soto had him killed.
111
00:07:15,769 --> 00:07:17,938
I am under a microscope here, Maggie.
112
00:07:18,022 --> 00:07:20,357
Without your witness,
the case falls apart.
113
00:07:20,441 --> 00:07:22,276
We have his testimony from the grand jury.
114
00:07:22,359 --> 00:07:25,112
Which you can't use
if defense can't cross-examine him.
115
00:07:25,196 --> 00:07:28,115
-They'll move to dismiss and win.
-Not if we prove Soto killed him.
116
00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:31,035
We do that,
the grand jury testimony comes back in.
117
00:07:31,118 --> 00:07:32,369
Can you?
118
00:07:32,453 --> 00:07:35,039
If you can prove
that Soto was behind this, do it.
119
00:07:35,956 --> 00:07:39,001
Or we need to drop the charges
before it gets to a hearing.
120
00:07:39,084 --> 00:07:41,587
-Wait, what?
-You heard me, Maggie.
121
00:07:42,254 --> 00:07:43,088
Airtight.
122
00:07:53,390 --> 00:07:55,893
Track anyone with ties to government.
123
00:07:56,644 --> 00:07:59,021
Family in the military, contractors.
124
00:08:00,731 --> 00:08:02,233
We want rule followers.
125
00:08:02,316 --> 00:08:03,734
This is it, right here.
126
00:08:03,817 --> 00:08:05,569
You know, anyone's who's…
127
00:08:21,210 --> 00:08:23,254
His name is Anton Shavar.
128
00:08:24,088 --> 00:08:26,465
This is the guy
with the private security firm?
129
00:08:27,383 --> 00:08:29,552
Arms dealers, oligarchs.
130
00:08:29,635 --> 00:08:32,680
He's not particular
about where his clients get their money.
131
00:08:33,389 --> 00:08:37,142
Supposedly, he's ex-Mossad,
but that may just be PR.
132
00:08:37,226 --> 00:08:39,478
Sorry, I know
I'm only here 'cause there's donuts,
133
00:08:39,562 --> 00:08:42,273
but how does this all
tie in with Trevor Elliott?
134
00:08:42,356 --> 00:08:44,900
Don't apologize.
That's exactly what the jury will ask.
135
00:08:44,984 --> 00:08:45,818
So…
136
00:08:48,362 --> 00:08:52,866
Elliott's wife was found dead
with this guy, Jan Rilz.
137
00:08:52,950 --> 00:08:55,452
-The yoga gigolo.
-That's about the size of it.
138
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:58,747
Rilz was sleeping
with a bunch of his female clients.
139
00:08:58,831 --> 00:09:03,627
Mostly wealthy, mostly married.
Like Neema Shavar, Anton's wife.
140
00:09:04,211 --> 00:09:05,129
Now ex-wife.
141
00:09:05,212 --> 00:09:07,631
It's called the
"it could have been this guy" defense.
142
00:09:07,715 --> 00:09:10,050
-Mmm.
-Anton's potentially dangerous.
143
00:09:10,134 --> 00:09:13,387
He's got a motive. Got anything else
I can use to point a finger at him?
144
00:09:13,470 --> 00:09:14,471
Yes and no.
145
00:09:14,555 --> 00:09:15,389
Okay.
146
00:09:17,224 --> 00:09:21,061
Rilz filed
a restraining order against Anton
147
00:09:21,145 --> 00:09:22,980
two months before the murders.
148
00:09:23,063 --> 00:09:25,733
He said Anton
came to his house and threatened him.
149
00:09:25,816 --> 00:09:26,734
Now we're talking.
150
00:09:26,817 --> 00:09:29,612
So, you said, "Yes, and no." What's no?
151
00:09:29,695 --> 00:09:32,906
Rilz never showed up
for the hearing. The order wasn't granted.
152
00:09:32,990 --> 00:09:36,243
How did you find out about it?
Never mind, I don't wanna know.
153
00:09:36,327 --> 00:09:40,164
If Anton's violent, maybe he threatened
Rilz into dropping the restraining order.
154
00:09:40,247 --> 00:09:42,249
That's smart, but we can't prove it.
155
00:09:42,333 --> 00:09:44,293
Not that he threatened him,
156
00:09:45,127 --> 00:09:47,546
but there may be
a way to show that he's violent.
157
00:09:48,631 --> 00:09:50,466
And you definitely don't wanna know.
158
00:09:52,217 --> 00:09:53,969
All right. Surprise me, Cisco.
159
00:09:54,053 --> 00:09:56,764
Just make it quick.
We pick a jury tomorrow. You ready?
160
00:09:56,847 --> 00:09:58,098
Mmm.
161
00:10:02,102 --> 00:10:02,936
Cheers.
162
00:10:04,438 --> 00:10:05,481
-Mick.
-Yeah?
163
00:10:05,564 --> 00:10:06,607
Where you going?
164
00:10:06,690 --> 00:10:09,401
I got one more thing
I gotta do before tomorrow. Old business.
165
00:10:09,485 --> 00:10:11,987
Anything to do
with the Jesús Menendez case?
166
00:10:14,156 --> 00:10:16,492
You asked me
to get you a file, out of nowhere,
167
00:10:16,575 --> 00:10:18,869
for a case that got put to bed a year ago.
168
00:10:18,952 --> 00:10:22,081
Did it? 'Cause it's eating at me, Lorna.
It was driving me crazy.
169
00:10:22,164 --> 00:10:24,458
-Mick…
-Just forget it for now, okay?
170
00:10:24,541 --> 00:10:27,670
Did you at least get Trevor
to sign off on the jury consultant?
171
00:10:27,753 --> 00:10:29,630
Not exactly, no. Goodbye, Lorna.
172
00:10:30,255 --> 00:10:33,842
The one who's
driving me crazy is you. My God.
173
00:11:01,954 --> 00:11:03,330
Knock-knock.
174
00:11:06,667 --> 00:11:10,337
-You motherfucker.
-Wait, Cherry. Let me explain.
175
00:11:11,296 --> 00:11:14,341
You tricked me. I took two buses
to get here from Hollywood.
176
00:11:14,425 --> 00:11:17,553
-Sorry. You wouldn't meet me otherwise.
-We had a deal.
177
00:11:17,636 --> 00:11:20,764
I was looking for Glory Days.
You're gonna get me off that drug charge.
178
00:11:20,848 --> 00:11:23,600
I know. I'm sorry. I ended up in rehab.
179
00:11:24,268 --> 00:11:26,061
An accident, shit went from bad to worse.
180
00:11:26,145 --> 00:11:28,772
I did two months in County
because you ghosted me.
181
00:11:30,065 --> 00:11:31,400
Wait, you went to rehab?
182
00:11:31,984 --> 00:11:34,445
Yeah, I don't wanna get into it.
183
00:11:34,528 --> 00:11:36,613
Don't stand there waving cash in my face.
184
00:11:36,697 --> 00:11:38,615
If you're here
to make it right, make it right.
185
00:11:39,575 --> 00:11:42,953
Cherry, I'm here
because I really need your help
186
00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:44,413
finding Glory Days again.
187
00:11:46,498 --> 00:11:49,960
Maybe you should've paid her more.
You're not exactly Mr. Big Spender.
188
00:11:50,043 --> 00:11:53,881
There's more of that if you can help me.
When was the last time you saw her?
189
00:11:54,715 --> 00:11:56,216
Not since last time you asked.
190
00:11:56,300 --> 00:11:58,802
Her profile's been dark.
She's not working parties.
191
00:11:58,886 --> 00:12:01,013
A girl doesn't disappear without a trace.
192
00:12:01,096 --> 00:12:02,806
-She got cold feet.
-On what?
193
00:12:02,890 --> 00:12:05,601
I don't know.
She was my key witness in a murder trial.
194
00:12:06,643 --> 00:12:08,896
Where would you go for work
if you had to start fresh?
195
00:12:10,647 --> 00:12:12,107
The world is my oyster.
196
00:12:13,442 --> 00:12:15,819
Look, if you wanna
pay me to chase a ghost,
197
00:12:15,903 --> 00:12:17,112
I'm not complaining.
198
00:12:17,738 --> 00:12:20,073
But instead of a down payment,
199
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:23,994
maybe I can earn the rest of it right now,
200
00:12:24,745 --> 00:12:26,205
help you forget about her?
201
00:12:27,623 --> 00:12:29,541
Enjoy the room for another 50 minutes.
202
00:12:30,709 --> 00:12:34,004
Take a bath.
Watch some cable. Keep me posted.
203
00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:35,130
Mmm-hmm.
204
00:12:56,527 --> 00:12:58,362
What the hell is that doing?
205
00:12:58,445 --> 00:13:01,281
Mapping the place.
That way he knows where everything is,
206
00:13:01,365 --> 00:13:03,367
so he doesn't bump into things.
207
00:13:03,450 --> 00:13:05,160
-"He"?
-Mr. Geary.
208
00:13:06,119 --> 00:13:08,038
He was our custodian in middle school.
209
00:13:08,121 --> 00:13:09,248
He was so nice.
210
00:13:09,331 --> 00:13:11,959
'Course.
Don't we have a janitor to do that?
211
00:13:12,042 --> 00:13:15,170
The service has been
a little spotty since the whole gun thing.
212
00:13:16,839 --> 00:13:20,425
Look at you! My man can sew.
213
00:13:21,635 --> 00:13:23,095
Well, I'm an Eagle Scout.
214
00:13:23,178 --> 00:13:24,304
Hmm.
215
00:13:24,388 --> 00:13:27,307
Look, I know you're
onto something with this Anton guy,
216
00:13:27,391 --> 00:13:29,601
but you should look into this one.
217
00:13:29,685 --> 00:13:30,936
Carol Dubois.
218
00:13:31,019 --> 00:13:32,396
The insurance lady?
219
00:13:33,230 --> 00:13:34,273
I already did, babe.
220
00:13:34,857 --> 00:13:36,733
She has got an alibi.
221
00:13:36,817 --> 00:13:38,819
She was at some conference in Tucson.
222
00:13:38,902 --> 00:13:40,946
Unless you think she hired a triggerman
223
00:13:41,029 --> 00:13:43,407
'cause she was upset
about losing 25 grand.
224
00:13:43,490 --> 00:13:46,368
No, it wasn't about the money.
She didn't care about that.
225
00:13:47,327 --> 00:13:48,287
It was Rilz.
226
00:13:50,122 --> 00:13:53,292
Alibi or no alibi,
there is something off about her.
227
00:13:53,375 --> 00:13:55,377
I'm telling you, it's the women.
228
00:13:56,420 --> 00:13:57,713
Mmm.
229
00:13:57,796 --> 00:14:00,757
Hello and welcome to jury duty.
230
00:14:00,841 --> 00:14:05,095
I'm Mary Holder, presiding judge
of the Los Angeles Superior Court.
231
00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:09,308
And as I like to say,
there is no justice without you.
232
00:14:12,811 --> 00:14:15,522
But let's talk about how you got here.
233
00:14:15,606 --> 00:14:20,569
It all begins in the Jury Services office,
when your name was randomly generated
234
00:14:20,652 --> 00:14:24,072
from voter registration rolls
and other public sources.
235
00:14:26,074 --> 00:14:28,243
How come
whenever I get called for jury duty
236
00:14:28,327 --> 00:14:30,787
it's at some court
on the other side of town?
237
00:14:30,871 --> 00:14:33,999
Because they assign jurors
randomly from all over the county.
238
00:14:34,082 --> 00:14:38,378
That way, you get a diverse jury pool.
That's the theory anyway.
239
00:14:38,462 --> 00:14:39,880
What's the reality?
240
00:14:39,963 --> 00:14:42,966
The reality is,
it doesn't matter where they come from,
241
00:14:43,050 --> 00:14:47,262
almost none of 'em wanna be there,
but your entire case depends on them.
242
00:14:54,728 --> 00:14:57,898
-These are the people deciding my fate?
-Yep, and they start right now.
243
00:14:57,981 --> 00:15:00,984
Don't say anything.
Don't smile. Keep your head down.
244
00:15:01,068 --> 00:15:03,236
What do you think
I've been doing the last six months?
245
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,198
Literally. Cameras can whip around
and cause a concussion.
246
00:15:06,281 --> 00:15:08,492
-Haller!
-All right, Lorna. Come on.
247
00:15:08,575 --> 00:15:11,954
DA says the evidence
against your client is overwhelming.
248
00:15:12,037 --> 00:15:13,789
What evidence? What evidence?
249
00:15:13,872 --> 00:15:15,958
They have no murder weapon, no witnesses,
250
00:15:16,041 --> 00:15:18,293
not one drop of blood
on my client's clothes.
251
00:15:18,377 --> 00:15:22,005
The only thing overwhelming
is Mr. Elliott's innocence.
252
00:15:22,089 --> 00:15:23,048
Please excuse us.
253
00:15:23,131 --> 00:15:25,467
-Mr. Haller, the DA evidence…
254
00:15:25,550 --> 00:15:28,637
Voir dire. That's what
they call jury selection, right?
255
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:29,680
Mmm.
256
00:15:31,014 --> 00:15:33,350
That's French, means to speak the truth.
257
00:15:35,852 --> 00:15:36,687
What?
258
00:15:37,479 --> 00:15:41,149
The truth is the least of my concerns.
I don't want fair-minded jurors.
259
00:15:41,233 --> 00:15:44,027
I want them biased as hell. Biased for me.
260
00:15:44,111 --> 00:15:45,821
I want 12 lemmings in a box.
261
00:15:46,446 --> 00:15:48,949
And the DA wants the exact same thing.
262
00:15:49,032 --> 00:15:53,954
So I try to get rid of his lemmings
and he tries to get rid of mine.
263
00:15:54,037 --> 00:15:55,580
That's how you pick a jury.
264
00:15:57,874 --> 00:16:00,252
Hey, you handled
the press like a pro out there.
265
00:16:00,335 --> 00:16:01,420
It's part of the job.
266
00:16:02,087 --> 00:16:04,548
Case as big as this,
you can't get many of those.
267
00:16:04,631 --> 00:16:06,341
Once you get through those doors,
268
00:16:06,425 --> 00:16:08,969
it's just another homicide.
Nothing I haven't seen before.
269
00:16:12,431 --> 00:16:14,808
This is gonna move fast
once the jurors come in.
270
00:16:14,891 --> 00:16:18,270
I'll input the basics right away.
Age, ethnicity, flesh it out as we go.
271
00:16:22,816 --> 00:16:24,526
Colored pens and post-its, is he for real?
272
00:16:25,694 --> 00:16:27,571
You know they make software for that.
273
00:16:27,654 --> 00:16:30,032
A computer
can't hear how somebody answers.
274
00:16:30,115 --> 00:16:32,617
-It can't read their eyes.
-They can now, actually.
275
00:16:41,126 --> 00:16:42,461
Go get 'em, tiger.
276
00:16:47,841 --> 00:16:50,469
Relax, I've picked dozens of jurors.
277
00:16:50,552 --> 00:16:51,636
You're in good hands.
278
00:16:52,220 --> 00:16:53,638
I read about how this works.
279
00:16:54,222 --> 00:16:57,684
Once they take their seats,
they're on the jury unless they get cut.
280
00:16:57,768 --> 00:17:01,438
That's right. My job is
to figure out who to cut, who to keep.
281
00:17:02,606 --> 00:17:03,440
Our job.
282
00:17:05,692 --> 00:17:07,819
This isn't some video game launch, Trevor.
283
00:17:07,903 --> 00:17:10,447
This is my domain.
Just leave it to me, okay?
284
00:17:10,530 --> 00:17:11,406
And it's my life.
285
00:17:11,490 --> 00:17:13,617
I'd like some input
into the people deciding it.
286
00:17:15,035 --> 00:17:17,162
I built my brand on trusting my instincts.
287
00:17:17,245 --> 00:17:20,707
I don't want you cutting anyone
unless we make that decision together.
288
00:17:23,251 --> 00:17:26,338
All rise.
The honorable Judge Stanton presiding.
289
00:17:30,634 --> 00:17:31,885
Be seated.
290
00:17:32,552 --> 00:17:35,305
Wanna weigh in? Fine.
But just be quiet and brief.
291
00:17:35,388 --> 00:17:37,182
If the jury sees us arguing, you're dead.
292
00:17:38,266 --> 00:17:40,685
All right, let's bring in the first 18.
293
00:17:41,978 --> 00:17:43,647
Thank you for being here.
294
00:17:43,730 --> 00:17:47,359
I'm going to ask you some questions,
then the lawyers will have a turn.
295
00:17:47,442 --> 00:17:48,860
There are no wrong answers.
296
00:17:48,944 --> 00:17:50,904
Your only obligation is to be truthful.
297
00:17:50,987 --> 00:17:54,783
Now, due to the media attention,
this will be an anonymous jury.
298
00:17:54,866 --> 00:17:57,202
Attorneys haven't
been provided with your identities.
299
00:17:57,285 --> 00:18:00,038
If you slip up
and say anything that identifies you,
300
00:18:00,122 --> 00:18:02,415
I will be forced to excuse you myself.
301
00:18:03,333 --> 00:18:04,334
Any questions?
302
00:18:05,418 --> 00:18:07,921
Good. Let's start with some basics.
303
00:18:08,004 --> 00:18:09,798
Juror number one, tell us your occupation,
304
00:18:09,881 --> 00:18:11,675
marital status, and where you live.
305
00:18:12,425 --> 00:18:17,055
I'm a stay-at-home mom
with two kids in high school, divorced.
306
00:18:17,139 --> 00:18:18,849
I live in Woodland Hills.
307
00:18:18,932 --> 00:18:21,393
I'm a writer, technical manuals mostly.
308
00:18:21,476 --> 00:18:25,105
I'm engaged so,
sort of married, Culver City.
309
00:18:25,188 --> 00:18:27,399
I'm an attorney. I am divorced.
310
00:18:27,482 --> 00:18:29,943
No kids, I live in Los Feliz.
311
00:18:32,529 --> 00:18:34,990
I'm an aerospace engineer
at Lockheed Martin.
312
00:18:35,073 --> 00:18:37,534
I'm single and I live in Palos Verdes.
313
00:18:38,785 --> 00:18:41,663
I'm a caterer,
married with three kids in Altadena.
314
00:18:42,330 --> 00:18:44,833
I do weddings, buddy.
Give you a juror's discount.
315
00:18:44,916 --> 00:18:46,209
I'm an artist.
316
00:18:46,293 --> 00:18:48,461
I just moved to Silver Lake from Ohio.
317
00:18:48,545 --> 00:18:49,379
I'm single.
318
00:18:49,462 --> 00:18:52,174
I'm a graduate student
and a rideshare driver.
319
00:18:52,257 --> 00:18:54,801
Van Nuys. Not married, no.
320
00:18:54,885 --> 00:18:57,262
My name's Janice. I'm a stand-up comedian.
321
00:18:58,221 --> 00:19:00,891
I'm sorry.
I wasn't supposed to say my name, was I?
322
00:19:03,101 --> 00:19:04,853
Juror number 12 is excused.
323
00:19:05,729 --> 00:19:06,813
Excuse me.
324
00:19:09,649 --> 00:19:11,860
Good morning. My name is Jeffrey Golantz.
325
00:19:11,943 --> 00:19:13,028
I'm the prosecutor.
326
00:19:13,737 --> 00:19:15,113
This is a murder trial.
327
00:19:16,239 --> 00:19:20,118
The defendant is charged
with murdering his wife and her lover.
328
00:19:20,952 --> 00:19:23,121
Now, we want a fair, impartial jury.
329
00:19:23,205 --> 00:19:25,123
So, I need to ask,
330
00:19:25,207 --> 00:19:28,460
would the fact that the victims
were having an extramarital affair
331
00:19:28,543 --> 00:19:30,962
make it hard
for anyone here to be impartial?
332
00:19:36,343 --> 00:19:38,261
Two, four and 15 are bluffing.
333
00:19:38,345 --> 00:19:39,179
Keep them.
334
00:19:40,513 --> 00:19:44,476
Your Honor, the People thank
and excuse jurors two, four, and 15.
335
00:19:45,852 --> 00:19:47,395
Shit, this guy's good.
336
00:19:51,358 --> 00:19:54,402
See, jury selection
is the one part of a trial that's a game,
337
00:19:54,486 --> 00:19:56,071
and like any game it has rules.
338
00:19:57,072 --> 00:19:59,532
Each side gets ten challenges.
339
00:19:59,616 --> 00:20:03,453
You can use those to strike
any juror you want, but be careful.
340
00:20:03,536 --> 00:20:06,206
Because the replacement
may be even worse, right?
341
00:20:06,289 --> 00:20:09,542
Exactly. So the trick is to hold on
to as many bullets as you can
342
00:20:09,626 --> 00:20:11,962
and get the other side to fire theirs.
343
00:20:12,045 --> 00:20:13,380
Plus, this is your chance
344
00:20:13,463 --> 00:20:16,174
to introduce yourself
and your client to the jury.
345
00:20:16,258 --> 00:20:18,385
Not just as a lawyer or a defendant,
346
00:20:18,468 --> 00:20:21,263
but as human beings. So use it.
347
00:20:22,222 --> 00:20:23,515
Oops.
348
00:20:24,933 --> 00:20:26,393
Off to a rough start, folks.
349
00:20:29,020 --> 00:20:30,355
Thanks.
350
00:20:30,438 --> 00:20:32,565
All right. Good morning, everyone.
351
00:20:33,191 --> 00:20:34,776
My name is Michael Haller.
352
00:20:34,859 --> 00:20:37,195
And this is my client, Trevor Elliott.
353
00:20:37,279 --> 00:20:38,488
I'm the defense attorney
354
00:20:38,571 --> 00:20:42,409
and I'm here to help you find the facts
in this case so we can get to the truth.
355
00:20:42,492 --> 00:20:44,619
Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
356
00:20:44,703 --> 00:20:48,498
I have a daughter, right?
She's 13, and what can I say?
357
00:20:48,581 --> 00:20:50,959
She's got me
wrapped around this little finger.
358
00:20:51,042 --> 00:20:54,045
If I ask her, did you make your bed?
359
00:20:54,129 --> 00:20:56,339
Did you do your homework?
Did you wash the dishes?
360
00:20:56,423 --> 00:20:58,717
She'll say yes,
and I'll want to believe her
361
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,305
even when I can see her unmade bed
or her school bag unopened.
362
00:21:03,388 --> 00:21:04,222
Why?
363
00:21:05,015 --> 00:21:07,517
Well, because
she's my baby girl, you know?
364
00:21:08,268 --> 00:21:09,894
-Anyone with me?
-Yeah.
365
00:21:09,978 --> 00:21:11,187
All right.
366
00:21:11,271 --> 00:21:13,231
Does anyone feel that way about cops?
367
00:21:13,940 --> 00:21:16,651
About people in uniforms
with badges and guns?
368
00:21:16,735 --> 00:21:20,530
You just believe them
even when your eyes are telling you
369
00:21:20,613 --> 00:21:21,990
they're not being truthful?
370
00:21:25,910 --> 00:21:28,788
Number one is bluffing.
Hand to her mouth is a lie.
371
00:21:28,872 --> 00:21:29,748
Dead giveaway.
372
00:21:29,831 --> 00:21:34,127
Does anybody here have relatives
or family members in law enforcement?
373
00:21:35,337 --> 00:21:37,005
How about you, juror number one?
374
00:21:37,714 --> 00:21:38,673
Maybe in the past?
375
00:21:40,592 --> 00:21:44,387
Well, my ex-husband
was a cop in Long Beach.
376
00:21:44,471 --> 00:21:47,724
I mean, he's not a relative
or family member anymore.
377
00:21:47,807 --> 00:21:48,641
How long?
378
00:21:48,725 --> 00:21:49,851
Fifteen years.
379
00:21:49,934 --> 00:21:53,396
What if you wanna get rid of somebody,
but you don't wanna waste a challenge?
380
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,482
You get unlimited strikes
for cause.
381
00:21:55,565 --> 00:21:58,693
And the judge
can kick anybody for being biased.
382
00:21:58,777 --> 00:22:02,405
So you've got to try and bring out
that bias in your questioning.
383
00:22:02,489 --> 00:22:06,201
Usually cops try to stick it out for 20
so they can get their full pension.
384
00:22:06,993 --> 00:22:09,162
Why did your ex leave the force so early?
385
00:22:10,622 --> 00:22:12,874
Because being a cop is a tough job.
386
00:22:13,458 --> 00:22:15,251
He just couldn't do it anymore.
387
00:22:15,335 --> 00:22:17,379
So, there wasn't an incident?
388
00:22:18,171 --> 00:22:19,422
What do you mean?
389
00:22:19,506 --> 00:22:23,134
An allegation
of misconduct like excessive force?
390
00:22:23,218 --> 00:22:25,428
Corruption? Maybe he just cut corners?
391
00:22:25,512 --> 00:22:28,681
Objection, Your Honor,
to the entire line of questioning.
392
00:22:28,765 --> 00:22:30,266
Counsel, approach.
393
00:22:33,895 --> 00:22:36,815
Your Honor, their case rests
entirely on the shoulders of the cops.
394
00:22:36,898 --> 00:22:39,275
I've a right to explore
her feelings on law enforcement.
395
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,946
-You're baiting her.
-I'm drawing out her biases.
396
00:22:43,029 --> 00:22:44,948
You've got ten challenges, Mr. Haller.
397
00:22:45,031 --> 00:22:47,784
You wanna strike her, use one.
I'm not doing it for you.
398
00:22:52,622 --> 00:22:55,583
The defense will like to thank
and excuse juror number one.
399
00:23:00,463 --> 00:23:01,631
Well, that didn't work.
400
00:23:02,340 --> 00:23:04,926
Yes and no. I used a challenge,
401
00:23:05,009 --> 00:23:07,595
but I put the idea
of corrupt cops in their heads.
402
00:23:09,556 --> 00:23:11,349
We need another way
to get to Soto.
403
00:23:11,433 --> 00:23:12,767
What about his girlfriend?
404
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,021
Tanya Cruz, 26. Came over
from the Philippines four years ago.
405
00:23:17,105 --> 00:23:18,314
No record.
406
00:23:18,398 --> 00:23:21,109
No money either,
until Soto started taking care of her.
407
00:23:21,192 --> 00:23:23,945
-Think she knows something?
-It's worth finding out.
408
00:23:24,028 --> 00:23:26,865
If we can turn her,
maybe she can give us the shooter.
409
00:23:26,948 --> 00:23:28,032
How long do we have?
410
00:23:28,116 --> 00:23:29,742
A week, maybe.
411
00:23:29,826 --> 00:23:35,415
They'll file a motion to dismiss today,
ask for an expedited hearing. What?
412
00:23:35,498 --> 00:23:36,624
Nothing, it's just…
413
00:23:37,625 --> 00:23:41,212
Most DAs,
when it gets political, they cut and run.
414
00:23:42,964 --> 00:23:45,758
I'll let that go on account
you've never worked with me before.
415
00:23:45,842 --> 00:23:48,845
Look at you,
making me think twice about lawyers.
416
00:23:50,388 --> 00:23:52,140
We're gonna need some leverage.
417
00:23:52,223 --> 00:23:53,808
Yeah, we are.
418
00:24:06,905 --> 00:24:09,115
Nothing like a pedicure,
huh, Neema?
419
00:24:10,658 --> 00:24:13,453
Me, I can't ever get 'em.
420
00:24:13,536 --> 00:24:15,788
My feet are too ticklish, drives me crazy.
421
00:24:16,623 --> 00:24:17,749
Do I know you?
422
00:24:17,832 --> 00:24:18,708
Oh.
423
00:24:18,791 --> 00:24:20,710
I work for the defense attorney.
424
00:24:21,336 --> 00:24:23,379
Representing Trevor Elliott.
425
00:24:24,047 --> 00:24:25,340
The guy who killed Jan?
426
00:24:26,216 --> 00:24:27,634
Innocent till proven guilty.
427
00:24:28,301 --> 00:24:30,637
It's a fundamental tenet
of our justice system.
428
00:24:31,262 --> 00:24:32,430
What do you want?
429
00:24:32,514 --> 00:24:36,976
Were you aware your ex-husband
threatened Jan before he was murdered?
430
00:24:37,060 --> 00:24:39,896
If you were, why didn't you
report it to the authorities?
431
00:24:39,979 --> 00:24:41,314
What the hell?
432
00:24:41,397 --> 00:24:44,651
Just some of the questions
you'll be asked when you're subpoenaed,
433
00:24:44,734 --> 00:24:47,779
not to mention the ones
about your affair with the deceased.
434
00:24:50,907 --> 00:24:53,576
You might wanna start
thinkin' about your answers now.
435
00:24:56,079 --> 00:24:57,497
I think we're done.
436
00:24:58,623 --> 00:24:59,541
Great job.
437
00:25:05,338 --> 00:25:07,173
-Hey.
-Hey, where are you?
438
00:25:07,257 --> 00:25:08,716
Just pokin' a bear.
439
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,677
Like you said, it's the women.
440
00:25:11,261 --> 00:25:12,554
They get everything done.
441
00:25:15,223 --> 00:25:19,060
This case may involve testimony
from experts in the field of firearms.
442
00:25:19,143 --> 00:25:21,479
Anyone have a problem
accepting their opinion?
443
00:25:23,773 --> 00:25:25,567
My client is a wealthy man.
444
00:25:26,192 --> 00:25:29,112
Does anybody think
that makes him more likely to be guilty?
445
00:25:30,780 --> 00:25:32,282
Any video game players here?
446
00:25:34,075 --> 00:25:36,703
-What's your favorite game?
-Who has family in the military?
447
00:25:37,704 --> 00:25:40,164
Who has had
a negative experience with the police?
448
00:25:41,332 --> 00:25:44,586
You know what drives me crazy?
Putting together IKEA furniture.
449
00:25:44,669 --> 00:25:45,628
Anyone else?
450
00:25:45,712 --> 00:25:46,588
Yeah.
451
00:25:51,467 --> 00:25:54,470
People thank and excuse
jurors 16, nine and 18.
452
00:26:07,775 --> 00:26:11,112
I'd like to thank and excuse
juror number eight, 13…
453
00:26:13,239 --> 00:26:14,073
and 28.
454
00:26:18,036 --> 00:26:19,287
Three and 35.
455
00:26:26,169 --> 00:26:28,588
Six, 37, 11, and 40.
456
00:26:37,388 --> 00:26:39,265
Number five's a lawyer.
457
00:26:39,349 --> 00:26:40,725
Lawyers make bad jurors.
458
00:26:40,808 --> 00:26:42,935
Not necessarily. She could be our foreman.
459
00:26:44,103 --> 00:26:47,857
Juror number five,
what kind of law do you practice?
460
00:26:48,441 --> 00:26:50,652
Real estate. Mostly transactional.
461
00:26:51,235 --> 00:26:54,280
You know once you're a juror,
you can't wear your lawyer hat.
462
00:26:54,364 --> 00:26:57,033
-Would you be able to separate the two?
-Of course.
463
00:26:58,201 --> 00:27:00,787
She likes you,
but number ten likes you even more.
464
00:27:04,540 --> 00:27:06,417
Have you ever practiced criminal law?
465
00:27:07,001 --> 00:27:09,629
No, but I have an interest in it.
466
00:27:09,712 --> 00:27:11,005
What kind of interest?
467
00:27:11,089 --> 00:27:13,966
I read novels.
I listen to true crime podcasts.
468
00:27:15,051 --> 00:27:17,387
I've been working on a screenplay.
469
00:27:18,096 --> 00:27:19,555
Me and everyone else in LA.
470
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:32,985
Any more questions, Mr. Haller?
471
00:27:33,069 --> 00:27:35,905
I beg the court's indulgence
for just one moment.
472
00:27:42,662 --> 00:27:46,290
Your Honor, my sincere apologies,
but I have an urgent personal matter.
473
00:27:46,374 --> 00:27:48,209
Okay if we take a ten-minute recess?
474
00:27:48,292 --> 00:27:49,377
No more than that.
475
00:27:49,460 --> 00:27:50,461
Thank you.
476
00:27:50,545 --> 00:27:53,673
Jurors, you may take
this opportunity to stretch your legs.
477
00:27:57,051 --> 00:27:58,886
What the hell was that about?
478
00:27:58,970 --> 00:28:00,263
If it works, you'll see.
479
00:28:08,855 --> 00:28:10,773
Back on record
on People vs. Elliott.
480
00:28:10,857 --> 00:28:14,277
All parties present.
Peremptories are with the People.
481
00:28:16,779 --> 00:28:19,782
People would like to thank
and excuse juror five, Your Honor.
482
00:28:31,335 --> 00:28:33,129
I thought you liked the lawyer.
483
00:28:33,212 --> 00:28:36,507
I did. Until I found out
she was a frustrated writer
484
00:28:36,591 --> 00:28:39,385
who wants to turn this into a movie.
The last person I want.
485
00:28:39,469 --> 00:28:41,429
And you didn't
wanna waste your last challenge.
486
00:28:41,512 --> 00:28:42,764
Now you're getting it.
487
00:28:42,847 --> 00:28:44,390
I left my folder open.
488
00:28:44,474 --> 00:28:47,518
Thought maybe Golantz
couldn't resist a little peek.
489
00:28:47,602 --> 00:28:49,353
He thought blue meant I wanted her.
490
00:28:49,437 --> 00:28:50,897
But blue means cold.
491
00:28:51,481 --> 00:28:53,191
You learn that from your dad, too?
492
00:28:54,150 --> 00:28:55,818
I told you, you're in good hands.
493
00:28:56,611 --> 00:28:58,029
I'll see you tomorrow.
494
00:28:58,112 --> 00:29:00,782
No, Ray,
you know exactly what you're doing.
495
00:29:00,865 --> 00:29:02,658
And you know where it's gonna lead.
496
00:29:03,451 --> 00:29:05,369
Look, I gotta go. I'll call you later.
497
00:29:05,995 --> 00:29:07,330
Everything all right?
498
00:29:07,413 --> 00:29:10,291
Yeah, fine. How was day one?
499
00:29:10,374 --> 00:29:12,043
I threw some punches.
500
00:29:12,126 --> 00:29:13,127
Took some, too.
501
00:29:14,837 --> 00:29:15,880
Sure you're okay?
502
00:29:19,467 --> 00:29:20,718
It's my ex.
503
00:29:21,761 --> 00:29:24,013
Exes are complicated.
504
00:29:24,597 --> 00:29:26,432
Take it from me, I have two of them.
505
00:29:27,099 --> 00:29:30,353
She posted photos partying
with some people we used to tour with
506
00:29:30,436 --> 00:29:32,355
which means she's using again.
507
00:29:32,438 --> 00:29:34,899
There's an old saying
about horses and water.
508
00:29:37,109 --> 00:29:38,069
Thing is,
509
00:29:39,403 --> 00:29:41,030
I'm the one that got her hooked.
510
00:29:43,533 --> 00:29:44,659
I gotta make it right.
511
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,375
You know these guys?
512
00:29:52,458 --> 00:29:53,709
Yeah, give me a second.
513
00:29:58,631 --> 00:29:59,507
Counselor.
514
00:30:00,091 --> 00:30:01,551
Could've just called, Ted.
515
00:30:01,634 --> 00:30:03,511
Yeah, well, we happened to be out.
516
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,056
Saw you on TV. Guess you're back.
517
00:30:07,765 --> 00:30:09,016
I guess so.
518
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:11,602
Good. I got some business for you.
519
00:30:11,686 --> 00:30:13,437
One of our boys needs help.
520
00:30:13,521 --> 00:30:17,108
Hard Case Casey,
some bullshit parole violation.
521
00:30:18,401 --> 00:30:21,112
Well, I'm nothing
if not a man of my word, Ted.
522
00:30:21,195 --> 00:30:23,322
Call my office,
we'll figure something out.
523
00:30:23,906 --> 00:30:24,782
-Will do.
-All right.
524
00:30:24,866 --> 00:30:25,700
Oh.
525
00:30:26,701 --> 00:30:28,119
Say hi to Cisco for me.
526
00:30:33,916 --> 00:30:35,543
You owe those guys or something?
527
00:30:35,626 --> 00:30:37,253
Or something. Come on, let's go.
528
00:30:50,892 --> 00:30:52,727
We're down to the wire.
529
00:30:52,810 --> 00:30:55,771
We've each got one challenge left.
Who do you think they're gonna cut?
530
00:30:56,647 --> 00:30:58,274
Number ten. That's his best bet.
531
00:30:59,692 --> 00:31:01,736
I might have a way to deal with that.
532
00:31:02,653 --> 00:31:03,696
Who should I cut?
533
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,698
What does your gut tell you?
534
00:31:05,781 --> 00:31:07,575
Seven or 27.
535
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,578
Twenty-seven? That's the Marlboro man.
536
00:31:11,287 --> 00:31:13,873
Everything about him
screams prosecution, but…
537
00:31:13,956 --> 00:31:15,374
He's an independent thinker.
538
00:31:15,458 --> 00:31:18,210
He might not accept
the State's line on the gunshot residue.
539
00:31:19,295 --> 00:31:21,047
On the other hand, number seven,
540
00:31:21,672 --> 00:31:22,840
he is laser-focused.
541
00:31:22,924 --> 00:31:24,592
Barely moves a muscle.
542
00:31:24,675 --> 00:31:25,968
Can't get a read on him.
543
00:31:26,052 --> 00:31:29,513
He's an engineer.
That means he's detail-oriented.
544
00:31:29,597 --> 00:31:32,350
A guy like that
can see through the State's case.
545
00:31:32,433 --> 00:31:33,392
It's a tough call.
546
00:31:34,018 --> 00:31:36,103
If it were a science, I'd win every hand.
547
00:31:36,187 --> 00:31:39,440
To make matters worse,
I have to run every choice by my client.
548
00:31:39,523 --> 00:31:40,858
You do have problems.
549
00:31:41,609 --> 00:31:43,486
You know, Trevor has a tell, too.
550
00:31:43,569 --> 00:31:45,529
Lining things up when he's nervous?
551
00:31:45,613 --> 00:31:46,656
Yeah, I noticed.
552
00:31:46,739 --> 00:31:48,616
Not just that, he rubs his legs.
553
00:31:49,408 --> 00:31:52,411
He does it to pacify himself.
It can be a sign of deception.
554
00:31:53,537 --> 00:31:57,124
You owe me dinner for all this.
I'll take anything with a Michelin star.
555
00:31:58,751 --> 00:32:01,087
-It's a date.
-Well, I wouldn't go that far.
556
00:32:01,170 --> 00:32:02,338
Maybe someday.
557
00:32:03,422 --> 00:32:04,757
If you ever get over her.
558
00:32:58,310 --> 00:33:00,312
Cute. Is this electric?
559
00:33:12,658 --> 00:33:14,035
A couple of things.
560
00:33:14,118 --> 00:33:17,538
Number 27 drives a hybrid
with a Sierra Club bumper sticker.
561
00:33:17,621 --> 00:33:20,332
Good. So, he goes his own way.
What else?
562
00:33:20,416 --> 00:33:22,793
Number seven
looks like he lives out of his car.
563
00:33:22,877 --> 00:33:25,504
What kind of engineer
makes a mess like that?
564
00:33:25,588 --> 00:33:27,757
That's a good question. All right. Thanks.
565
00:33:31,427 --> 00:33:32,428
What was that about?
566
00:33:33,429 --> 00:33:34,388
Our last challenge.
567
00:33:40,728 --> 00:33:41,854
Lorna?
568
00:33:43,731 --> 00:33:46,358
It's Ryan. From first year torts.
569
00:33:46,442 --> 00:33:47,651
Southwestern Law?
570
00:33:47,735 --> 00:33:49,737
-Right. Ryan.
-Yeah.
571
00:33:49,820 --> 00:33:51,322
I'm interning for a firm.
572
00:33:51,405 --> 00:33:53,532
-You?
-You know, same.
573
00:33:53,616 --> 00:33:54,533
I gotta ask.
574
00:33:54,617 --> 00:33:57,036
Where did you go?
You were a rock star in that class.
575
00:33:57,119 --> 00:34:01,749
Wheaton used to call on you all the time
and then one day you were just gone.
576
00:34:03,167 --> 00:34:04,335
I don't know, um…
577
00:34:05,878 --> 00:34:09,006
Work. Stuff. I don't know. Um…
578
00:34:10,049 --> 00:34:12,259
It was really good
to see you. I have to go.
579
00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:22,728
I think we've got to cut number seven.
There's something off about him.
580
00:34:22,812 --> 00:34:24,980
Don't look at the jury. Look at the grid.
581
00:34:27,149 --> 00:34:30,402
-Seven's an engineer. I like him.
-I did, too. But…
582
00:34:30,486 --> 00:34:32,738
No. He was giving me
good eye contact all day.
583
00:34:32,822 --> 00:34:36,700
Don't cut him. Cut number ten.
I don't like the way she looks at me.
584
00:34:36,784 --> 00:34:39,787
Ten? That's your best juror, Trevor.
585
00:34:39,870 --> 00:34:41,831
Got to try
and stop Golantz from cutting her.
586
00:34:41,914 --> 00:34:44,166
Mickey. What did I tell you?
587
00:34:45,209 --> 00:34:46,293
All rise.
588
00:34:49,755 --> 00:34:50,798
You may be seated.
589
00:34:52,675 --> 00:34:55,302
Ladies and gentlemen,
I apologize for the late start.
590
00:34:55,386 --> 00:34:58,264
But if we move quickly,
we can still finish before lunch.
591
00:34:58,347 --> 00:34:59,557
Counsel, you ready?
592
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,810
The defense has a motion
that's best brought up in chambers.
593
00:35:02,893 --> 00:35:03,769
May we confer?
594
00:35:09,150 --> 00:35:12,319
Your Honor, the defense
would like to make a Wheeler motion.
595
00:35:12,403 --> 00:35:14,780
-I'm sorry, what?
-On what grounds?
596
00:35:14,864 --> 00:35:17,449
Mr. Golantz
has used nine of his challenges,
597
00:35:17,533 --> 00:35:19,493
seven of which have been on women.
598
00:35:19,577 --> 00:35:21,579
In my view that's called discrimination.
599
00:35:21,662 --> 00:35:24,832
It's called offensive. I have
a valid reason for every juror I've cut.
600
00:35:24,915 --> 00:35:26,792
I'm sure we would love to hear them.
601
00:35:26,876 --> 00:35:30,296
It doesn't make sense. Your client is
accused of murdering his wife.
602
00:35:30,379 --> 00:35:32,882
-I want all the women I can get.
-Then why did you cut so many?
603
00:35:32,965 --> 00:35:34,758
Mr. Golantz, save it.
604
00:35:35,467 --> 00:35:37,344
You're reaching here. Motion denied.
605
00:35:38,846 --> 00:35:42,016
So much for finishing this morning.
We'll take an early lunch.
606
00:35:42,099 --> 00:35:45,436
You each have one challenge left.
Let's not make this a nail-biter.
607
00:35:47,563 --> 00:35:51,150
-That's bullshit and you know it.
-Then you have nothing to worry about.
608
00:35:57,781 --> 00:35:59,074
Dennis Wojciechowski.
609
00:36:00,659 --> 00:36:02,077
Yeah, I can find you, too.
610
00:36:02,786 --> 00:36:03,954
You threatened my wife?
611
00:36:06,874 --> 00:36:08,083
Ex-wife.
612
00:36:08,167 --> 00:36:11,712
And I didn't threaten her.
Just presented her with a couple of facts.
613
00:36:12,796 --> 00:36:14,131
Here's a fact for you.
614
00:36:14,215 --> 00:36:17,426
You come near me or my family again,
I break you like a toy.
615
00:36:18,302 --> 00:36:19,261
Is that a gun?
616
00:36:19,345 --> 00:36:20,638
You don't wanna find out.
617
00:36:21,388 --> 00:36:23,265
Stay the fuck away from my wife.
618
00:36:40,532 --> 00:36:41,659
Tanya Cruz.
619
00:36:43,077 --> 00:36:44,536
Detective Lankford, LAPD.
620
00:36:44,620 --> 00:36:47,122
This is Maggie McPherson
from the DA's office.
621
00:36:48,582 --> 00:36:49,708
What is this about?
622
00:36:49,792 --> 00:36:51,001
It's about Angelo Soto.
623
00:36:52,086 --> 00:36:54,964
Don't worry. We have eyes on him.
He's waiting for you at home.
624
00:36:55,047 --> 00:36:57,549
-What do you want?
-Just a minute of your time.
625
00:36:58,801 --> 00:37:01,595
Only one reason
a man goes to the gynecologist with you.
626
00:37:01,679 --> 00:37:03,597
How many months pregnant are you?
627
00:37:05,182 --> 00:37:08,310
Three months.
I have to go now. He's waiting.
628
00:37:09,395 --> 00:37:12,106
Are you aware your name
is on several of his bank accounts?
629
00:37:13,065 --> 00:37:13,899
I…
630
00:37:14,858 --> 00:37:17,152
He had me sign some papers.
631
00:37:17,236 --> 00:37:18,904
That's how guys like him operate.
632
00:37:18,988 --> 00:37:21,907
They insulate themselves
so someone else takes the fall.
633
00:37:21,991 --> 00:37:23,158
I don't understand.
634
00:37:23,242 --> 00:37:25,035
Okay. Well, let me be clear.
635
00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:26,203
Soto's gonna go down,
636
00:37:26,287 --> 00:37:29,164
if you're part of the paper trail,
you're going down with him.
637
00:37:29,248 --> 00:37:32,251
Give birth to your baby in jail.
They'll take it away from you.
638
00:37:32,334 --> 00:37:34,920
Please. I don't know
anything about his business.
639
00:37:35,004 --> 00:37:36,672
For your sake, I hope you're wrong.
640
00:37:37,965 --> 00:37:39,633
You're gonna need a lawyer.
641
00:37:39,717 --> 00:37:40,843
You can't trust his.
642
00:37:40,926 --> 00:37:44,013
Say anything to anyone, you're dead.
You know that, right?
643
00:37:45,222 --> 00:37:47,516
You're gonna need someone you can trust.
644
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:48,517
Trust him.
645
00:38:06,410 --> 00:38:07,411
Mr. Golantz.
646
00:38:15,419 --> 00:38:18,339
People would like to thank and excuse
juror 27, Your Honor.
647
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:25,554
You said he was gonna cut number ten.
648
00:38:25,637 --> 00:38:28,057
I said I'd keep that
from happening and I did.
649
00:38:29,141 --> 00:38:31,018
Counsel, approach, please.
650
00:38:46,825 --> 00:38:47,659
What?
651
00:38:49,244 --> 00:38:50,954
Juror ten just spoke to the clerk.
652
00:38:51,038 --> 00:38:54,166
She thought you were
following her in the parking lot at lunch.
653
00:38:54,249 --> 00:38:55,084
What?
654
00:38:56,335 --> 00:38:59,254
-That's ridiculous.
-Were you trying to intimidate a juror?
655
00:38:59,338 --> 00:39:00,339
No.
656
00:39:02,633 --> 00:39:04,218
I was trying to find my car.
657
00:39:05,177 --> 00:39:06,720
The one you made me drive.
658
00:39:07,346 --> 00:39:08,180
The Prius.
659
00:39:08,263 --> 00:39:11,183
Do you have any idea
how many Priuses are in Los Angeles?
660
00:39:12,935 --> 00:39:14,311
Is the judge gonna cut her?
661
00:39:14,395 --> 00:39:17,022
There's not
enough evidence you did anything wrong.
662
00:39:17,106 --> 00:39:18,273
There, see?
663
00:39:18,357 --> 00:39:21,026
That doesn't change the fact
she still thinks you did.
664
00:39:21,110 --> 00:39:22,653
So now I have to kick her,
665
00:39:23,278 --> 00:39:24,571
with my last challenge.
666
00:39:28,242 --> 00:39:29,118
Mr. Haller?
667
00:39:29,701 --> 00:39:33,038
The defense would like
to thank and excuse juror number ten.
668
00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:38,419
I didn't do it on purpose.
669
00:39:38,502 --> 00:39:39,837
I hope not, Trevor.
670
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,713
With you, I never really know.
671
00:39:46,844 --> 00:39:48,637
And with that, we have our jury.
672
00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:50,347
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.
673
00:39:50,431 --> 00:39:51,890
We'll see you Monday morning.
674
00:39:57,479 --> 00:39:59,648
Truth is,
you can never really know for sure
675
00:39:59,731 --> 00:40:01,567
if you picked the right jury or not.
676
00:40:01,650 --> 00:40:03,527
That's why
they call them the Gods of Guilt.
677
00:40:04,736 --> 00:40:06,738
All you can do is pray to them.
678
00:40:18,709 --> 00:40:20,043
I'll break you like a toy.
679
00:40:20,878 --> 00:40:21,920
Is that a gun?
680
00:40:22,004 --> 00:40:23,422
You don't wanna find out.
681
00:40:24,548 --> 00:40:26,341
Stay the fuck away from my wife.
682
00:40:35,267 --> 00:40:36,101
-Hey.
-Hey.
683
00:40:37,519 --> 00:40:40,564
I was on my way home.
I figured I'd check on Hayley.
684
00:40:40,647 --> 00:40:43,275
She's online with some friends.
I'd leave her be.
685
00:40:45,027 --> 00:40:46,653
I figured I'd check on you too.
686
00:40:48,530 --> 00:40:51,366
-You don't have to do this, Haller.
-Do what?
687
00:40:54,703 --> 00:40:57,164
I'm sorry I haven't called you back.
688
00:40:57,247 --> 00:40:58,373
Rough couple of days.
689
00:40:59,583 --> 00:41:04,505
And the other night
I was upset, obviously,
690
00:41:04,588 --> 00:41:08,217
and things went
somewhere they shouldn't have, and…
691
00:41:08,300 --> 00:41:09,384
I'm sorry.
692
00:41:09,468 --> 00:41:11,428
Whoever that was, that was not me.
693
00:41:14,806 --> 00:41:16,808
No, that was you.
694
00:41:16,892 --> 00:41:18,810
I mean, it smelled like you.
695
00:41:18,894 --> 00:41:19,770
It felt like you.
696
00:41:19,853 --> 00:41:20,729
Mickey.
697
00:41:22,272 --> 00:41:24,191
Can we agree
it's good you left when you did?
698
00:41:25,651 --> 00:41:29,196
Yeah. Good. We're both glad I left, so.
699
00:41:32,908 --> 00:41:35,494
What are you doing here?
Don't you have jury selection?
700
00:41:35,577 --> 00:41:36,870
No, we finished today.
701
00:41:36,954 --> 00:41:39,915
Besides I can walk
and chew gum at the same time.
702
00:41:39,998 --> 00:41:41,625
Gum? Is that what I am?
703
00:41:43,001 --> 00:41:44,002
Very tasty gum?
704
00:41:44,086 --> 00:41:45,170
Okay.
705
00:41:46,380 --> 00:41:47,381
You know what?
706
00:41:47,464 --> 00:41:50,551
I actually have a favor
I need for my case.
707
00:41:50,634 --> 00:41:51,677
Anything.
708
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,096
I don't have time
to talk about it tonight,
709
00:41:54,179 --> 00:41:55,514
but I'll call you tomorrow?
710
00:41:56,807 --> 00:41:58,850
The things I do for you, McFierce.
711
00:42:24,626 --> 00:42:26,545
-Counselor.
-Jesus.
712
00:42:26,628 --> 00:42:30,340
You scared the hell out of me.
Couldn't this wait until morning?
713
00:42:30,424 --> 00:42:34,386
Sorry, but that missing money
of Jerry's you mentioned?
714
00:42:34,469 --> 00:42:36,221
I checked it with his bank.
715
00:42:36,305 --> 00:42:40,475
He took out 150 grand, in cash.
716
00:42:40,559 --> 00:42:42,060
Told the banker it was to buy a boat.
717
00:42:42,144 --> 00:42:44,771
I've checked every marina
from here to San Diego.
718
00:42:44,855 --> 00:42:45,939
There is no boat.
719
00:42:46,648 --> 00:42:48,400
Not one registered to Jerry anyway.
720
00:42:50,152 --> 00:42:52,237
So, what are you thinking?
721
00:42:52,321 --> 00:42:53,822
After Bruce Carlin's death,
722
00:42:53,905 --> 00:42:57,326
Riverside PD searched his place
and found a burner phone he used.
723
00:42:57,409 --> 00:42:59,161
-Great.
-Don't get too excited.
724
00:42:59,244 --> 00:43:01,913
Carlin was careful.
There's nothing explicit.
725
00:43:02,831 --> 00:43:06,209
But the messages show
he made a delivery to somebody
726
00:43:06,293 --> 00:43:09,212
the same day Jerry took out all that cash.
727
00:43:09,296 --> 00:43:10,422
What kind of delivery?
728
00:43:10,505 --> 00:43:13,675
No idea. But we've got missing money.
729
00:43:13,759 --> 00:43:15,886
We've got mystery calls from the Feds.
730
00:43:15,969 --> 00:43:19,264
And the Elliott case
is the biggest one you inherited, right?
731
00:43:19,348 --> 00:43:21,516
The biggest case of Jerry's career?
732
00:43:22,142 --> 00:43:24,895
Lot of pressure
to beat a high-profile murder like that.
733
00:43:24,978 --> 00:43:26,355
Yeah, tell me about it.
734
00:43:26,980 --> 00:43:27,981
All right, so?
735
00:43:29,316 --> 00:43:31,943
What if the money was for a bribe?
