1
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:09,592
You think there's a chance
Elliott might be innocent?
2
00:00:09,676 --> 00:00:11,970
In my business,
that would be what we call a unicorn.
3
00:00:12,053 --> 00:00:13,304
You ever had one before?
4
00:00:13,388 --> 00:00:16,182
[Mickey] Jesús Menendez.
He's doing 15 years for murder.
5
00:00:16,266 --> 00:00:19,686
A witness disappeared on me.
Without her, he was looking at life.
6
00:00:19,769 --> 00:00:22,355
[judge] The court finds
Mr. Soto is a flight risk.
7
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:24,357
Bail will be set at $2 million.
8
00:00:24,441 --> 00:00:26,234
[man] Get here right away.
It's your witness.
9
00:00:26,317 --> 00:00:27,610
[Maggie] It's my fault.
10
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:29,946
He didn't wanna do it,
and I pressured him.
11
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:33,074
Come here. It's okay.
12
00:00:33,742 --> 00:00:35,160
No, you did everything you could.
13
00:00:37,287 --> 00:00:39,122
-[Maggie] I should, um…
-Yeah.
14
00:00:39,205 --> 00:00:41,166
I don't know
what the Feds spoke to Jerry about.
15
00:00:41,249 --> 00:00:43,501
Couple days ago, my assistant told me
16
00:00:43,585 --> 00:00:46,296
there's over a hundred grand
missing from his accounts.
17
00:00:46,379 --> 00:00:48,882
Now we got
two other people to point the finger at?
18
00:00:48,965 --> 00:00:50,717
Neema Shavar.
19
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,844
She was giving money
to this guy, Rilz, too.
20
00:00:52,927 --> 00:00:56,973
And she has a husband.
He runs a private security company.
21
00:00:57,057 --> 00:00:59,642
[Mickey] Trevor,
jury selection starts Wednesday.
22
00:00:59,726 --> 00:01:04,064
The 12 citizens will decide if you spend
the rest of your life in prison or not.
23
00:01:04,147 --> 00:01:06,024
Once we pick a jury,
there's no turning back.
24
00:01:06,107 --> 00:01:08,193
Clear your calendar. We have work to do.
25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:27,837
Thanks.
26
00:01:28,963 --> 00:01:30,256
No. This is me.
27
00:01:31,091 --> 00:01:33,301
Okay, I get it.
28
00:01:33,384 --> 00:01:36,471
You brought me here
to take me down a peg. Is that it?
29
00:01:36,554 --> 00:01:38,515
Rich guy only eats at Nobu.
30
00:01:39,349 --> 00:01:42,102
I make video games.
You think I never had Pink's before?
31
00:01:42,185 --> 00:01:44,896
I brought you here
because I wanted a chili dog.
32
00:01:44,979 --> 00:01:46,940
And another reason, too.
33
00:01:47,023 --> 00:01:48,399
Look around you, Trevor.
34
00:01:49,567 --> 00:01:51,277
This is your jury pool.
35
00:01:51,861 --> 00:01:54,656
My father
used to call the jury the Gods of Guilt
36
00:01:54,739 --> 00:01:56,908
because at the end of the day,
they decide.
37
00:01:56,991 --> 00:01:59,911
You might think your trial
starts with the opening statement.
38
00:01:59,994 --> 00:02:03,039
It doesn't.
It starts tomorrow with jury selection.
39
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:07,001
With them. Every single one
of them will scrutinize you
40
00:02:07,085 --> 00:02:08,628
as soon as you park at the courthouse.
41
00:02:08,711 --> 00:02:10,296
They will judge what you drive,
42
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:12,590
how you dress,
every single expression you make.
43
00:02:12,674 --> 00:02:15,885
-So, please don't make any.
-I really can't drive my own car?
44
00:02:16,803 --> 00:02:19,556
The one that costs five times
what your jurors make in a year?
45
00:02:21,266 --> 00:02:23,309
Lara's Prius is still in the garage.
46
00:02:23,393 --> 00:02:24,477
Good.
47
00:02:24,561 --> 00:02:25,478
Okay, what else?
48
00:02:26,646 --> 00:02:27,647
From you, nothing.
49
00:02:28,731 --> 00:02:31,317
We've got the best
jury consultants in town.
50
00:02:31,401 --> 00:02:32,652
They charge accordingly.
51
00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:36,865
-Just sign this agreement.
-I don't want a jury consultant.
52
00:02:36,948 --> 00:02:38,867
What? Why?
53
00:02:38,950 --> 00:02:41,202
You remember
the last celebrity trial you saw?
54
00:02:41,286 --> 00:02:44,414
People see a rich guy
hiding behind a wall of suits,
55
00:02:44,497 --> 00:02:46,457
they automatically think you're guilty.
56
00:02:46,541 --> 00:02:48,376
I know how to read people, Mickey.
57
00:02:48,459 --> 00:02:50,962
I know what they like.
That's how I got where I am.
58
00:02:51,754 --> 00:02:55,425
I trust my own instincts and yours,
not some consultant I never met.
59
00:02:55,508 --> 00:02:59,304
I appreciate the confidence, Trevor,
but we need all the help we can get,
60
00:02:59,387 --> 00:03:00,722
so please just sign here.
61
00:03:01,306 --> 00:03:02,432
Let me be clear.
62
00:03:03,516 --> 00:03:04,767
No jury consultant.
63
00:03:16,905 --> 00:03:20,074
-What are we doin' here?
-Trevor doesn't want a jury consultant.
64
00:03:21,117 --> 00:03:23,286
-So?
-So I'm not hiring one.
65
00:03:32,253 --> 00:03:34,255
-[Bubba] 'Sup, Haller?
-'Sup, Bubba? She here?
66
00:03:56,319 --> 00:03:57,153
Call.
67
00:03:59,155 --> 00:04:02,242
The chances somebody
doesn't have a full house are not good.
68
00:04:20,927 --> 00:04:21,761
Ten thousand.
69
00:04:24,222 --> 00:04:25,056
All in.
70
00:04:30,019 --> 00:04:31,062
Call.
71
00:04:40,613 --> 00:04:43,408
Kings full. Caught it on a river.
72
00:04:43,491 --> 00:04:45,994
Sorry, big baby. Four of a kind.
73
00:04:46,077 --> 00:04:47,245
[woman exclaims]
74
00:04:49,622 --> 00:04:50,456
Straight flush.
75
00:04:51,249 --> 00:04:52,375
[man whistles]
76
00:04:53,209 --> 00:04:54,085
Fuck.
77
00:05:06,556 --> 00:05:07,807
[woman] Mickey Haller.
78
00:05:09,058 --> 00:05:11,185
[Mickey] Hey, stranger, it's been a while.
79
00:05:12,061 --> 00:05:13,980
Trying to live the clean life.
80
00:05:14,063 --> 00:05:15,189
Yeah, you and me both.
81
00:05:16,733 --> 00:05:20,153
Listen, uh,
I need your help on a murder trial.
82
00:05:20,236 --> 00:05:23,281
I just made more on one hand
than you can pay me in a week.
83
00:05:23,364 --> 00:05:24,365
I know.
84
00:05:24,449 --> 00:05:27,660
I also know reading people
is a skill that has to be practiced.
85
00:05:27,744 --> 00:05:30,705
I'm just giving you
the opportunity to do what you do best.
86
00:05:31,497 --> 00:05:32,540
Hmm.
87
00:05:32,623 --> 00:05:34,292
You always were a sweet talker.
88
00:05:35,626 --> 00:05:36,711
I can give you a day.
89
00:05:36,794 --> 00:05:39,047
Fair enough. I'll text you the details.
90
00:05:39,130 --> 00:05:42,091
Just one thing, my client can't know.
91
00:05:43,926 --> 00:05:45,636
Well, I'm nothing if not discreet.
92
00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:05,698
[line ringing]
93
00:06:05,782 --> 00:06:08,576
You've reached Maggie McPherson.
Please leave a message.
94
00:06:09,243 --> 00:06:11,788
-[voicemail beeps]
-Hey, Mags, it's me.
95
00:06:13,247 --> 00:06:16,334
Look, I'm really sorry about your witness.
96
00:06:18,169 --> 00:06:21,297
And, uh, I'm sorry
how we left things last night.
97
00:06:22,799 --> 00:06:24,842
Anyway, I'll try you later. Okay?
98
00:06:25,468 --> 00:06:26,469
Bye.
99
00:06:34,018 --> 00:06:37,105
[reporter on TV] Janelle Simmons
has made women in Los Angeles less safe.
100
00:06:37,188 --> 00:06:39,065
As chief of the Major Crimes Unit,
101
00:06:39,148 --> 00:06:41,776
she stood by
while an overburdened laboratory
102
00:06:41,859 --> 00:06:44,654
neglected rape kits, and tainted evidence.
103
00:06:44,737 --> 00:06:47,740
Her negligence victimized women again.
104
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:50,910
When you needed her,
Janelle Simmons didn't do her job.
105
00:06:50,993 --> 00:06:53,704
Vote Robert Cardone for district attorney.
106
00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:56,457
[Robert] I'm Bob Cardone
and I approve this message.
107
00:06:57,333 --> 00:06:59,961
Every crime lab
in the country is backed up.
108
00:07:00,044 --> 00:07:02,046
And he's in charge of conviction review.
109
00:07:02,130 --> 00:07:04,841
He's just milking this
to make me look bad.
110
00:07:05,883 --> 00:07:08,803
Right now,
every case needs to be airtight.
111
00:07:08,886 --> 00:07:10,847
Well, we are airtight, Janelle.
112
00:07:10,930 --> 00:07:12,723
Your lead witness is dead.
113
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:15,643
Because Angelo Soto had him killed.
114
00:07:15,726 --> 00:07:17,895
I am under a microscope here, Maggie.
115
00:07:17,979 --> 00:07:20,314
Without your witness,
the case falls apart.
116
00:07:20,398 --> 00:07:22,233
We have his testimony from the grand jury.
117
00:07:22,316 --> 00:07:25,069
Which you can't use
if defense can't cross-examine him.
118
00:07:25,153 --> 00:07:28,072
-They'll move to dismiss and win.
-Not if we prove Soto killed him.
119
00:07:28,156 --> 00:07:30,992
We do that,
the grand jury testimony comes back in.
120
00:07:31,075 --> 00:07:32,326
Can you?
121
00:07:32,410 --> 00:07:34,996
If you can prove
that Soto was behind this, do it.
122
00:07:35,913 --> 00:07:38,958
Or we need to drop the charges
before it gets to a hearing.
123
00:07:39,041 --> 00:07:41,544
-Wait, what?
-You heard me, Maggie.
124
00:07:42,211 --> 00:07:43,045
Airtight.
125
00:07:50,011 --> 00:07:51,304
[cellphone chimes]
126
00:07:53,347 --> 00:07:55,850
Track anyone with ties to government.
127
00:07:56,601 --> 00:07:58,978
Family in the military, contractors.
128
00:08:00,688 --> 00:08:02,190
We want rule followers.
129
00:08:02,273 --> 00:08:03,691
This is it, right here.
130
00:08:03,774 --> 00:08:05,526
You know, anyone's who's…
131
00:08:11,991 --> 00:08:13,534
[camera shutter clicks]
132
00:08:21,167 --> 00:08:23,211
[Cisco] His name is Anton Shavar.
133
00:08:24,045 --> 00:08:26,422
This is the guy
with the private security firm?
134
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:29,509
Arms dealers, oligarchs.
135
00:08:29,592 --> 00:08:32,637
He's not particular
about where his clients get their money.
136
00:08:33,346 --> 00:08:37,099
Supposedly, he's ex-Mossad,
but that may just be PR.
137
00:08:37,183 --> 00:08:39,435
Sorry, I know
I'm only here 'cause there's donuts,
138
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:42,230
but how does this all
tie in with Trevor Elliott?
139
00:08:42,313 --> 00:08:44,857
Don't apologize.
That's exactly what the jury will ask.
140
00:08:44,941 --> 00:08:45,775
So…
141
00:08:48,319 --> 00:08:52,823
Elliott's wife was found dead
with this guy, Jan Rilz.
142
00:08:52,907 --> 00:08:55,409
-The yoga gigolo.
-That's about the size of it.
143
00:08:55,993 --> 00:08:58,704
Rilz was sleeping
with a bunch of his female clients.
144
00:08:58,788 --> 00:09:03,584
Mostly wealthy, mostly married.
Like Neema Shavar, Anton's wife.
145
00:09:04,168 --> 00:09:05,086
Now ex-wife.
146
00:09:05,169 --> 00:09:07,588
It's called the
"it could have been this guy" defense.
147
00:09:07,672 --> 00:09:10,007
-[Izzy] Mmm.
-Anton's potentially dangerous.
148
00:09:10,091 --> 00:09:13,344
He's got a motive. Got anything else
I can use to point a finger at him?
149
00:09:13,427 --> 00:09:14,428
Yes and no.
150
00:09:14,512 --> 00:09:15,346
[Mickey] Okay.
151
00:09:17,181 --> 00:09:21,018
Rilz filed
a restraining order against Anton
152
00:09:21,102 --> 00:09:22,937
two months before the murders.
153
00:09:23,020 --> 00:09:25,690
He said Anton
came to his house and threatened him.
154
00:09:25,773 --> 00:09:26,691
Now we're talking.
155
00:09:26,774 --> 00:09:29,569
So, you said, "Yes, and no." What's no?
156
00:09:29,652 --> 00:09:32,863
Rilz never showed up
for the hearing. The order wasn't granted.
157
00:09:32,947 --> 00:09:36,200
How did you find out about it?
Never mind, I don't wanna know.
158
00:09:36,284 --> 00:09:40,121
If Anton's violent, maybe he threatened
Rilz into dropping the restraining order.
159
00:09:40,204 --> 00:09:42,206
That's smart, but we can't prove it.
160
00:09:42,290 --> 00:09:44,250
Not that he threatened him,
161
00:09:45,084 --> 00:09:47,503
but there may be
a way to show that he's violent.
162
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:50,423
And you definitely don't wanna know.
163
00:09:52,174 --> 00:09:53,926
All right. Surprise me, Cisco.
164
00:09:54,010 --> 00:09:56,721
Just make it quick.
We pick a jury tomorrow. You ready?
165
00:09:56,804 --> 00:09:58,055
[Izzy] Mmm.
166
00:10:02,059 --> 00:10:02,893
Cheers.
167
00:10:04,395 --> 00:10:05,438
-[Lorna] Mick.
-Yeah?
168
00:10:05,521 --> 00:10:06,564
[Lorna] Where you going?
169
00:10:06,647 --> 00:10:09,358
I got one more thing
I gotta do before tomorrow. Old business.
170
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:11,944
Anything to do
with the Jesús Menendez case?
171
00:10:14,113 --> 00:10:16,449
You asked me
to get you a file, out of nowhere,
172
00:10:16,532 --> 00:10:18,826
for a case that got put to bed a year ago.
173
00:10:18,909 --> 00:10:22,038
Did it? 'Cause it's eating at me, Lorna.
It was driving me crazy.
174
00:10:22,121 --> 00:10:24,415
-Mick…
-Just forget it for now, okay?
175
00:10:24,498 --> 00:10:27,627
Did you at least get Trevor
to sign off on the jury consultant?
176
00:10:27,710 --> 00:10:29,587
Not exactly, no. Goodbye, Lorna.
177
00:10:30,212 --> 00:10:33,799
[in Spanish] The one who's
driving me crazy is you. My God.
178
00:10:33,883 --> 00:10:35,885
[opening theme music playing]
179
00:11:01,911 --> 00:11:03,287
Knock-knock.
180
00:11:06,624 --> 00:11:10,294
-You motherfucker.
-Wait, Cherry. Let me explain.
181
00:11:11,253 --> 00:11:14,298
You tricked me. I took two buses
to get here from Hollywood.
182
00:11:14,382 --> 00:11:17,510
-Sorry. You wouldn't meet me otherwise.
-We had a deal.
183
00:11:17,593 --> 00:11:20,721
I was looking for Glory Days.
You're gonna get me off that drug charge.
184
00:11:20,805 --> 00:11:23,557
I know. I'm sorry. I ended up in rehab.
185
00:11:24,225 --> 00:11:26,018
An accident, shit went from bad to worse.
186
00:11:26,102 --> 00:11:28,729
I did two months in County
because you ghosted me.
187
00:11:30,022 --> 00:11:31,357
Wait, you went to rehab?
188
00:11:31,941 --> 00:11:34,402
Yeah, I don't wanna get into it.
189
00:11:34,485 --> 00:11:36,570
Don't stand there waving cash in my face.
190
00:11:36,654 --> 00:11:38,572
If you're here
to make it right, make it right.
191
00:11:39,532 --> 00:11:42,910
Cherry, I'm here
because I really need your help
192
00:11:42,993 --> 00:11:44,370
finding Glory Days again.
193
00:11:46,455 --> 00:11:49,917
Maybe you should've paid her more.
You're not exactly Mr. Big Spender.
194
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,838
There's more of that if you can help me.
When was the last time you saw her?
195
00:11:54,672 --> 00:11:56,173
Not since last time you asked.
196
00:11:56,257 --> 00:11:58,759
Her profile's been dark.
She's not working parties.
197
00:11:58,843 --> 00:12:00,970
A girl doesn't disappear without a trace.
198
00:12:01,053 --> 00:12:02,763
-She got cold feet.
-On what?
199
00:12:02,847 --> 00:12:05,558
I don't know.
She was my key witness in a murder trial.
200
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,853
Where would you go for work
if you had to start fresh?
201
00:12:08,936 --> 00:12:09,854
[Cherry scoffs]
202
00:12:10,604 --> 00:12:12,064
The world is my oyster.
203
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,776
Look, if you wanna
pay me to chase a ghost,
204
00:12:15,860 --> 00:12:17,069
I'm not complaining.
205
00:12:17,695 --> 00:12:20,030
But instead of a down payment,
206
00:12:21,657 --> 00:12:23,951
maybe I can earn the rest of it right now,
207
00:12:24,702 --> 00:12:26,162
help you forget about her?
208
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:29,498
Enjoy the room for another 50 minutes.
209
00:12:30,666 --> 00:12:33,961
Take a bath.
Watch some cable. Keep me posted.
210
00:12:34,044 --> 00:12:35,087
[Cherry] Mmm-hmm.
211
00:12:51,103 --> 00:12:52,396
[gadget beeping]
212
00:12:56,484 --> 00:12:58,319
What the hell is that doing?
213
00:12:58,402 --> 00:13:01,238
Mapping the place.
That way he knows where everything is,
214
00:13:01,322 --> 00:13:03,324
so he doesn't bump into things.
215
00:13:03,407 --> 00:13:05,117
-"He"?
-Mr. Geary.
216
00:13:06,076 --> 00:13:07,995
He was our custodian in middle school.
217
00:13:08,078 --> 00:13:09,205
He was so nice.
218
00:13:09,288 --> 00:13:11,916
'Course.
Don't we have a janitor to do that?
219
00:13:11,999 --> 00:13:15,127
The service has been
a little spotty since the whole gun thing.
220
00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:20,382
Look at you! My man can sew.
221
00:13:21,592 --> 00:13:23,052
Well, I'm an Eagle Scout.
222
00:13:23,135 --> 00:13:24,261
[Lorna] Hmm.
223
00:13:24,345 --> 00:13:27,264
Look, I know you're
onto something with this Anton guy,
224
00:13:27,348 --> 00:13:29,558
but you should look into this one.
225
00:13:29,642 --> 00:13:30,893
Carol Dubois.
226
00:13:30,976 --> 00:13:32,353
The insurance lady?
227
00:13:33,187 --> 00:13:34,230
I already did, babe.
228
00:13:34,814 --> 00:13:36,690
She has got an alibi.
229
00:13:36,774 --> 00:13:38,776
She was at some conference in Tucson.
230
00:13:38,859 --> 00:13:40,903
Unless you think she hired a triggerman
231
00:13:40,986 --> 00:13:43,364
'cause she was upset
about losing 25 grand.
232
00:13:43,447 --> 00:13:46,325
No, it wasn't about the money.
She didn't care about that.
233
00:13:47,284 --> 00:13:48,244
It was Rilz.
234
00:13:50,079 --> 00:13:53,249
Alibi or no alibi,
there is something off about her.
235
00:13:53,332 --> 00:13:55,334
I'm telling you, it's the women.
236
00:13:56,377 --> 00:13:57,670
[Cisco] Mmm.
237
00:13:57,753 --> 00:14:00,714
Hello and welcome to jury duty.
238
00:14:00,798 --> 00:14:05,052
I'm Mary Holder, presiding judge
of the Los Angeles Superior Court.
239
00:14:05,135 --> 00:14:09,265
And as I like to say,
there is no justice without you.
240
00:14:12,768 --> 00:14:15,479
But let's talk about how you got here.
241
00:14:15,563 --> 00:14:20,526
It all begins in the Jury Services office,
when your name was randomly generated
242
00:14:20,609 --> 00:14:24,029
from voter registration rolls
and other public sources.
243
00:14:26,031 --> 00:14:28,200
[Izzy] How come
whenever I get called for jury duty
244
00:14:28,284 --> 00:14:30,744
it's at some court
on the other side of town?
245
00:14:30,828 --> 00:14:33,956
Because they assign jurors
randomly from all over the county.
246
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:38,335
That way, you get a diverse jury pool.
That's the theory anyway.
247
00:14:38,419 --> 00:14:39,837
What's the reality?
248
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,923
The reality is,
it doesn't matter where they come from,
249
00:14:43,007 --> 00:14:47,219
almost none of 'em wanna be there,
but your entire case depends on them.
250
00:14:47,303 --> 00:14:48,345
[elevator dings]
251
00:14:54,685 --> 00:14:57,855
-These are the people deciding my fate?
-Yep, and they start right now.
252
00:14:57,938 --> 00:15:00,941
Don't say anything.
Don't smile. Keep your head down.
253
00:15:01,025 --> 00:15:03,193
What do you think
I've been doing the last six months?
254
00:15:03,277 --> 00:15:06,155
Literally. Cameras can whip around
and cause a concussion.
255
00:15:06,238 --> 00:15:08,449
-[woman] Haller!
-All right, Lorna. Come on.
256
00:15:08,532 --> 00:15:11,911
DA says the evidence
against your client is overwhelming.
257
00:15:11,994 --> 00:15:13,746
What evidence? What evidence?
258
00:15:13,829 --> 00:15:15,915
They have no murder weapon, no witnesses,
259
00:15:15,998 --> 00:15:18,250
not one drop of blood
on my client's clothes.
260
00:15:18,334 --> 00:15:21,962
The only thing overwhelming
is Mr. Elliott's innocence.
261
00:15:22,046 --> 00:15:23,005
Please excuse us.
262
00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:25,424
-Mr. Haller, the DA evidence…
-[indistinct chatter]
263
00:15:25,507 --> 00:15:28,594
Voir dire. That's what
they call jury selection, right?
264
00:15:28,677 --> 00:15:29,637
[Mickey] Mmm.
265
00:15:30,971 --> 00:15:33,307
That's French, means to speak the truth.
266
00:15:35,809 --> 00:15:36,644
What?
267
00:15:37,436 --> 00:15:41,106
The truth is the least of my concerns.
I don't want fair-minded jurors.
268
00:15:41,190 --> 00:15:43,984
I want them biased as hell. Biased for me.
269
00:15:44,068 --> 00:15:45,778
I want 12 lemmings in a box.
270
00:15:46,403 --> 00:15:48,906
And the DA wants the exact same thing.
271
00:15:48,989 --> 00:15:53,911
So I try to get rid of his lemmings
and he tries to get rid of mine.
272
00:15:53,994 --> 00:15:55,537
That's how you pick a jury.
273
00:15:57,831 --> 00:16:00,209
Hey, you handled
the press like a pro out there.
274
00:16:00,292 --> 00:16:01,377
It's part of the job.
275
00:16:02,044 --> 00:16:04,505
Case as big as this,
you can't get many of those.
276
00:16:04,588 --> 00:16:06,298
[Mickey] Once you get through those doors,
277
00:16:06,382 --> 00:16:08,926
it's just another homicide.
Nothing I haven't seen before.
278
00:16:12,388 --> 00:16:14,765
This is gonna move fast
once the jurors come in.
279
00:16:14,848 --> 00:16:18,227
I'll input the basics right away.
Age, ethnicity, flesh it out as we go.
280
00:16:22,773 --> 00:16:24,483
Colored pens and post-its, is he for real?
281
00:16:25,651 --> 00:16:27,528
You know they make software for that.
282
00:16:27,611 --> 00:16:29,989
A computer
can't hear how somebody answers.
283
00:16:30,072 --> 00:16:32,574
-It can't read their eyes.
-They can now, actually.
284
00:16:33,742 --> 00:16:34,702
[cellphone chimes]
285
00:16:38,038 --> 00:16:38,956
[cellphone buzzes]
286
00:16:41,083 --> 00:16:42,418
[woman] Go get 'em, tiger.
287
00:16:47,798 --> 00:16:50,426
Relax, I've picked dozens of jurors.
288
00:16:50,509 --> 00:16:51,593
You're in good hands.
289
00:16:52,177 --> 00:16:53,595
I read about how this works.
290
00:16:54,179 --> 00:16:57,641
Once they take their seats,
they're on the jury unless they get cut.
291
00:16:57,725 --> 00:17:01,395
That's right. My job is
to figure out who to cut, who to keep.
292
00:17:02,563 --> 00:17:03,397
Our job.
293
00:17:05,649 --> 00:17:07,776
This isn't some video game launch, Trevor.
294
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:10,404
This is my domain.
Just leave it to me, okay?
295
00:17:10,487 --> 00:17:11,363
And it's my life.
296
00:17:11,447 --> 00:17:13,574
I'd like some input
into the people deciding it.
297
00:17:14,992 --> 00:17:17,119
I built my brand on trusting my instincts.
298
00:17:17,202 --> 00:17:20,664
I don't want you cutting anyone
unless we make that decision together.
299
00:17:23,208 --> 00:17:26,295
[man] All rise.
The honorable Judge Stanton presiding.
300
00:17:30,591 --> 00:17:31,842
Be seated.
301
00:17:32,509 --> 00:17:35,262
Wanna weigh in? Fine.
But just be quiet and brief.
302
00:17:35,345 --> 00:17:37,139
If the jury sees us arguing, you're dead.
303
00:17:38,223 --> 00:17:40,642
All right, let's bring in the first 18.
304
00:17:41,935 --> 00:17:43,604
Thank you for being here.
305
00:17:43,687 --> 00:17:47,316
I'm going to ask you some questions,
then the lawyers will have a turn.
306
00:17:47,399 --> 00:17:48,817
There are no wrong answers.
307
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:50,861
Your only obligation is to be truthful.
308
00:17:50,944 --> 00:17:54,740
Now, due to the media attention,
this will be an anonymous jury.
309
00:17:54,823 --> 00:17:57,159
Attorneys haven't
been provided with your identities.
310
00:17:57,242 --> 00:17:59,995
If you slip up
and say anything that identifies you,
311
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:02,372
I will be forced to excuse you myself.
312
00:18:03,290 --> 00:18:04,291
Any questions?
313
00:18:05,375 --> 00:18:07,878
Good. Let's start with some basics.
314
00:18:07,961 --> 00:18:09,755
Juror number one, tell us your occupation,
315
00:18:09,838 --> 00:18:11,632
marital status, and where you live.
316
00:18:12,382 --> 00:18:17,012
I'm a stay-at-home mom
with two kids in high school, divorced.
317
00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:18,806
I live in Woodland Hills.
318
00:18:18,889 --> 00:18:21,350
I'm a writer, technical manuals mostly.
319
00:18:21,433 --> 00:18:25,062
I'm engaged so,
sort of married, Culver City.
320
00:18:25,145 --> 00:18:27,356
I'm an attorney. I am divorced.
321
00:18:27,439 --> 00:18:29,900
No kids, I live in Los Feliz.
322
00:18:32,486 --> 00:18:34,947
I'm an aerospace engineer
at Lockheed Martin.
323
00:18:35,030 --> 00:18:37,491
I'm single and I live in Palos Verdes.
324
00:18:38,742 --> 00:18:41,620
I'm a caterer,
married with three kids in Altadena.
325
00:18:42,287 --> 00:18:44,790
I do weddings, buddy.
Give you a juror's discount.
326
00:18:44,873 --> 00:18:46,166
I'm an artist.
327
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:48,418
I just moved to Silver Lake from Ohio.
328
00:18:48,502 --> 00:18:49,336
I'm single.
329
00:18:49,419 --> 00:18:52,131
I'm a graduate student
and a rideshare driver.
330
00:18:52,214 --> 00:18:54,758
Van Nuys. Not married, no.
331
00:18:54,842 --> 00:18:57,219
My name's Janice. I'm a stand-up comedian.
332
00:18:58,178 --> 00:19:00,848
I'm sorry.
I wasn't supposed to say my name, was I?
333
00:19:03,058 --> 00:19:04,810
Juror number 12 is excused.
334
00:19:05,686 --> 00:19:06,770
Excuse me.
335
00:19:09,606 --> 00:19:11,817
Good morning. My name is Jeffrey Golantz.
336
00:19:11,900 --> 00:19:12,985
I'm the prosecutor.
337
00:19:13,694 --> 00:19:15,070
This is a murder trial.
338
00:19:16,196 --> 00:19:20,075
The defendant is charged
with murdering his wife and her lover.
339
00:19:20,909 --> 00:19:23,078
Now, we want a fair, impartial jury.
340
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:25,080
So, I need to ask,
341
00:19:25,164 --> 00:19:28,417
would the fact that the victims
were having an extramarital affair
342
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:30,919
make it hard
for anyone here to be impartial?
343
00:19:34,089 --> 00:19:35,382
[cellphone buzzes]
344
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:38,218
[woman] Two, four and 15 are bluffing.
345
00:19:38,302 --> 00:19:39,136
Keep them.
346
00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:44,433
Your Honor, the People thank
and excuse jurors two, four, and 15.
347
00:19:45,809 --> 00:19:47,352
[woman] Shit, this guy's good.
348
00:19:51,315 --> 00:19:54,359
See, jury selection
is the one part of a trial that's a game,
349
00:19:54,443 --> 00:19:56,028
and like any game it has rules.
350
00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:59,489
Each side gets ten challenges.
351
00:19:59,573 --> 00:20:03,410
You can use those to strike
any juror you want, but be careful.
352
00:20:03,493 --> 00:20:06,163
Because the replacement
may be even worse, right?
353
00:20:06,246 --> 00:20:09,499
Exactly. So the trick is to hold on
to as many bullets as you can
354
00:20:09,583 --> 00:20:11,919
and get the other side to fire theirs.
355
00:20:12,002 --> 00:20:13,337
Plus, this is your chance
356
00:20:13,420 --> 00:20:16,131
to introduce yourself
and your client to the jury.
357
00:20:16,215 --> 00:20:18,342
Not just as a lawyer or a defendant,
358
00:20:18,425 --> 00:20:21,220
but as human beings. So use it.
359
00:20:22,179 --> 00:20:23,472
[Trevor exclaims] Oops.
360
00:20:24,890 --> 00:20:26,350
Off to a rough start, folks.
361
00:20:28,977 --> 00:20:30,312
Thanks.
362
00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:32,522
All right. Good morning, everyone.
363
00:20:33,148 --> 00:20:34,733
My name is Michael Haller.
364
00:20:34,816 --> 00:20:37,152
And this is my client, Trevor Elliott.
365
00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:38,445
I'm the defense attorney
366
00:20:38,528 --> 00:20:42,366
and I'm here to help you find the facts
in this case so we can get to the truth.
367
00:20:42,449 --> 00:20:44,576
Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
368
00:20:44,660 --> 00:20:48,455
I have a daughter, right?
She's 13, and what can I say?
369
00:20:48,538 --> 00:20:50,916
She's got me
wrapped around this little finger.
370
00:20:50,999 --> 00:20:54,002
If I ask her, did you make your bed?
371
00:20:54,086 --> 00:20:56,296
Did you do your homework?
Did you wash the dishes?
372
00:20:56,380 --> 00:20:58,674
She'll say yes,
and I'll want to believe her
373
00:20:58,757 --> 00:21:03,262
even when I can see her unmade bed
or her school bag unopened.
374
00:21:03,345 --> 00:21:04,179
Why?
375
00:21:04,972 --> 00:21:07,474
Well, because
she's my baby girl, you know?
376
00:21:08,225 --> 00:21:09,851
-Anyone with me?
-[man] Yeah.
377
00:21:09,935 --> 00:21:11,144
[Mickey] All right.
378
00:21:11,228 --> 00:21:13,188
Does anyone feel that way about cops?
379
00:21:13,897 --> 00:21:16,608
About people in uniforms
with badges and guns?
380
00:21:16,692 --> 00:21:20,487
You just believe them
even when your eyes are telling you
381
00:21:20,570 --> 00:21:21,947
they're not being truthful?
382
00:21:23,073 --> 00:21:24,366
[cellphone buzzes]
383
00:21:25,867 --> 00:21:28,745
[woman] Number one is bluffing.
Hand to her mouth is a lie.
384
00:21:28,829 --> 00:21:29,705
Dead giveaway.
385
00:21:29,788 --> 00:21:34,084
Does anybody here have relatives
or family members in law enforcement?
386
00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:36,962
How about you, juror number one?
387
00:21:37,671 --> 00:21:38,630
Maybe in the past?
388
00:21:40,549 --> 00:21:44,344
Well, my ex-husband
was a cop in Long Beach.
389
00:21:44,428 --> 00:21:47,681
I mean, he's not a relative
or family member anymore.
390
00:21:47,764 --> 00:21:48,598
How long?
391
00:21:48,682 --> 00:21:49,808
Fifteen years.
392
00:21:49,891 --> 00:21:53,353
What if you wanna get rid of somebody,
but you don't wanna waste a challenge?
393
00:21:53,437 --> 00:21:55,439
[Mickey] You get unlimited strikes
for cause.
394
00:21:55,522 --> 00:21:58,650
And the judge
can kick anybody for being biased.
395
00:21:58,734 --> 00:22:02,362
So you've got to try and bring out
that bias in your questioning.
396
00:22:02,446 --> 00:22:06,158
Usually cops try to stick it out for 20
so they can get their full pension.
397
00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:09,119
Why did your ex leave the force so early?
398
00:22:10,579 --> 00:22:12,831
Because being a cop is a tough job.
399
00:22:13,415 --> 00:22:15,208
He just couldn't do it anymore.
400
00:22:15,292 --> 00:22:17,336
So, there wasn't an incident?
401
00:22:18,128 --> 00:22:19,379
What do you mean?
402
00:22:19,463 --> 00:22:23,091
An allegation
of misconduct like excessive force?
403
00:22:23,175 --> 00:22:25,385
Corruption? Maybe he just cut corners?
404
00:22:25,469 --> 00:22:28,638
Objection, Your Honor,
to the entire line of questioning.
405
00:22:28,722 --> 00:22:30,223
Counsel, approach.
406
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:36,772
Your Honor, their case rests
entirely on the shoulders of the cops.
407
00:22:36,855 --> 00:22:39,232
I've a right to explore
her feelings on law enforcement.
408
00:22:39,316 --> 00:22:42,903
-You're baiting her.
-I'm drawing out her biases.
409
00:22:42,986 --> 00:22:44,905
You've got ten challenges, Mr. Haller.
410
00:22:44,988 --> 00:22:47,741
You wanna strike her, use one.
I'm not doing it for you.
411
00:22:52,579 --> 00:22:55,540
The defense will like to thank
and excuse juror number one.
412
00:23:00,420 --> 00:23:01,588
Well, that didn't work.
413
00:23:02,297 --> 00:23:04,883
Yes and no. I used a challenge,
414
00:23:04,966 --> 00:23:07,552
but I put the idea
of corrupt cops in their heads.
415
00:23:09,513 --> 00:23:11,306
[Maggie] We need another way
to get to Soto.
416
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:12,724
What about his girlfriend?
417
00:23:13,517 --> 00:23:16,978
Tanya Cruz, 26. Came over
from the Philippines four years ago.
418
00:23:17,062 --> 00:23:18,271
No record.
419
00:23:18,355 --> 00:23:21,066
No money either,
until Soto started taking care of her.
420
00:23:21,149 --> 00:23:23,902
-[Lankford] Think she knows something?
-It's worth finding out.
421
00:23:23,985 --> 00:23:26,822
If we can turn her,
maybe she can give us the shooter.
422
00:23:26,905 --> 00:23:27,989
How long do we have?
423
00:23:28,073 --> 00:23:29,699
A week, maybe.
424
00:23:29,783 --> 00:23:35,372
They'll file a motion to dismiss today,
ask for an expedited hearing. What?
425
00:23:35,455 --> 00:23:36,581
Nothing, it's just…
426
00:23:37,582 --> 00:23:41,169
Most DAs,
when it gets political, they cut and run.
427
00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:45,715
I'll let that go on account
you've never worked with me before.
428
00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:48,802
Look at you,
making me think twice about lawyers.
429
00:23:50,345 --> 00:23:52,097
We're gonna need some leverage.
430
00:23:52,180 --> 00:23:53,765
Yeah, we are.
431
00:24:06,862 --> 00:24:09,072
[Cisco] Nothing like a pedicure,
huh, Neema?
432
00:24:10,615 --> 00:24:13,410
Me, I can't ever get 'em.
433
00:24:13,493 --> 00:24:15,745
My feet are too ticklish, drives me crazy.
434
00:24:16,580 --> 00:24:17,706
[Neena] Do I know you?
435
00:24:17,789 --> 00:24:18,665
[Cisco] Oh.
436
00:24:18,748 --> 00:24:20,667
I work for the defense attorney.
437
00:24:21,293 --> 00:24:23,336
Representing Trevor Elliott.
438
00:24:24,004 --> 00:24:25,297
The guy who killed Jan?
439
00:24:26,173 --> 00:24:27,591
Innocent till proven guilty.
440
00:24:28,258 --> 00:24:30,594
It's a fundamental tenet
of our justice system.
441
00:24:31,219 --> 00:24:32,387
What do you want?
442
00:24:32,471 --> 00:24:36,933
Were you aware your ex-husband
threatened Jan before he was murdered?
443
00:24:37,017 --> 00:24:39,853
If you were, why didn't you
report it to the authorities?
444
00:24:39,936 --> 00:24:41,271
What the hell?
445
00:24:41,354 --> 00:24:44,608
Just some of the questions
you'll be asked when you're subpoenaed,
446
00:24:44,691 --> 00:24:47,736
not to mention the ones
about your affair with the deceased.
447
00:24:50,864 --> 00:24:53,533
You might wanna start
thinkin' about your answers now.
448
00:24:56,036 --> 00:24:57,454
I think we're done.
449
00:24:58,580 --> 00:24:59,498
Great job.
450
00:25:04,294 --> 00:25:05,212
[line ringing]
451
00:25:05,295 --> 00:25:07,130
-[Cisco] Hey.
-Hey, where are you?
452
00:25:07,214 --> 00:25:08,673
Just pokin' a bear.
453
00:25:08,757 --> 00:25:10,634
Like you said, it's the women.
454
00:25:11,218 --> 00:25:12,511
They get everything done.
455
00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:19,017
[Golantz] This case may involve testimony
from experts in the field of firearms.
456
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:21,436
Anyone have a problem
accepting their opinion?
457
00:25:23,730 --> 00:25:25,524
My client is a wealthy man.
458
00:25:26,149 --> 00:25:29,069
Does anybody think
that makes him more likely to be guilty?
459
00:25:30,737 --> 00:25:32,239
Any video game players here?
460
00:25:34,032 --> 00:25:36,660
-What's your favorite game?
-Who has family in the military?
461
00:25:37,661 --> 00:25:40,121
Who has had
a negative experience with the police?
462
00:25:41,289 --> 00:25:44,543
You know what drives me crazy?
Putting together IKEA furniture.
463
00:25:44,626 --> 00:25:45,585
Anyone else?
464
00:25:45,669 --> 00:25:46,545
[man] Yeah.
465
00:25:50,131 --> 00:25:51,341
[inaudible conversation]
466
00:25:51,424 --> 00:25:54,427
People thank and excuse
jurors 16, nine and 18.
467
00:25:57,889 --> 00:25:59,516
[inaudible conversation]
468
00:26:07,732 --> 00:26:11,069
I'd like to thank and excuse
juror number eight, 13…
469
00:26:13,196 --> 00:26:14,030
and 28.
470
00:26:17,993 --> 00:26:19,244
Three and 35.
471
00:26:26,126 --> 00:26:28,545
Six, 37, 11, and 40.
472
00:26:37,345 --> 00:26:39,222
Number five's a lawyer.
473
00:26:39,306 --> 00:26:40,682
Lawyers make bad jurors.
474
00:26:40,765 --> 00:26:42,892
Not necessarily. She could be our foreman.
475
00:26:44,060 --> 00:26:47,814
Juror number five,
what kind of law do you practice?
476
00:26:48,398 --> 00:26:50,609
Real estate. Mostly transactional.
477
00:26:51,192 --> 00:26:54,237
You know once you're a juror,
you can't wear your lawyer hat.
478
00:26:54,321 --> 00:26:56,990
-Would you be able to separate the two?
-Of course.
479
00:26:58,158 --> 00:27:00,744
[woman] She likes you,
but number ten likes you even more.
480
00:27:04,497 --> 00:27:06,374
Have you ever practiced criminal law?
481
00:27:06,958 --> 00:27:09,586
No, but I have an interest in it.
482
00:27:09,669 --> 00:27:10,962
What kind of interest?
483
00:27:11,046 --> 00:27:13,923
I read novels.
I listen to true crime podcasts.
484
00:27:15,008 --> 00:27:17,344
I've been working on a screenplay.
485
00:27:18,053 --> 00:27:19,512
Me and everyone else in LA.
486
00:27:19,596 --> 00:27:20,597
[jurors chuckle]
487
00:27:24,934 --> 00:27:25,977
[cellphone chimes]
488
00:27:31,316 --> 00:27:32,942
Any more questions, Mr. Haller?
489
00:27:33,026 --> 00:27:35,862
I beg the court's indulgence
for just one moment.
490
00:27:42,619 --> 00:27:46,247
Your Honor, my sincere apologies,
but I have an urgent personal matter.
491
00:27:46,331 --> 00:27:48,166
Okay if we take a ten-minute recess?
492
00:27:48,249 --> 00:27:49,334
No more than that.
493
00:27:49,417 --> 00:27:50,418
Thank you.
494
00:27:50,502 --> 00:27:53,630
Jurors, you may take
this opportunity to stretch your legs.
495
00:27:57,008 --> 00:27:58,843
What the hell was that about?
496
00:27:58,927 --> 00:28:00,220
If it works, you'll see.
497
00:28:08,812 --> 00:28:10,730
[judge] Back on record
on People vs. Elliott.
498
00:28:10,814 --> 00:28:14,234
All parties present.
Peremptories are with the People.
499
00:28:16,736 --> 00:28:19,739
People would like to thank
and excuse juror five, Your Honor.
500
00:28:31,292 --> 00:28:33,086
[Trevor] I thought you liked the lawyer.
501
00:28:33,169 --> 00:28:36,464
I did. Until I found out
she was a frustrated writer
502
00:28:36,548 --> 00:28:39,342
who wants to turn this into a movie.
The last person I want.
503
00:28:39,426 --> 00:28:41,386
And you didn't
wanna waste your last challenge.
504
00:28:41,469 --> 00:28:42,721
Now you're getting it.
505
00:28:42,804 --> 00:28:44,347
I left my folder open.
506
00:28:44,431 --> 00:28:47,475
Thought maybe Golantz
couldn't resist a little peek.
507
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:49,310
He thought blue meant I wanted her.
508
00:28:49,394 --> 00:28:50,854
But blue means cold.
509
00:28:51,438 --> 00:28:53,148
You learn that from your dad, too?
510
00:28:54,107 --> 00:28:55,775
I told you, you're in good hands.
511
00:28:56,568 --> 00:28:57,986
I'll see you tomorrow.
512
00:28:58,069 --> 00:29:00,739
No, Ray,
you know exactly what you're doing.
513
00:29:00,822 --> 00:29:02,615
And you know where it's gonna lead.
514
00:29:03,408 --> 00:29:05,326
Look, I gotta go. I'll call you later.
515
00:29:05,952 --> 00:29:07,287
[Mickey] Everything all right?
516
00:29:07,370 --> 00:29:10,248
Yeah, fine. How was day one?
517
00:29:10,331 --> 00:29:12,000
[Mickey] I threw some punches.
518
00:29:12,083 --> 00:29:13,084
Took some, too.
519
00:29:14,794 --> 00:29:15,837
Sure you're okay?
520
00:29:19,424 --> 00:29:20,675
It's my ex.
521
00:29:21,718 --> 00:29:23,970
[groans] Exes are complicated.
522
00:29:24,554 --> 00:29:26,389
Take it from me, I have two of them.
523
00:29:27,056 --> 00:29:30,310
She posted photos partying
with some people we used to tour with
524
00:29:30,393 --> 00:29:32,312
which means she's using again.
525
00:29:32,395 --> 00:29:34,856
There's an old saying
about horses and water.
526
00:29:37,066 --> 00:29:38,026
Thing is,
527
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:40,987
I'm the one that got her hooked.
528
00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:44,616
I gotta make it right.
529
00:29:44,699 --> 00:29:46,034
[motorcycles revving]
530
00:29:50,997 --> 00:29:52,332
You know these guys?
531
00:29:52,415 --> 00:29:53,666
Yeah, give me a second.
532
00:29:58,588 --> 00:29:59,464
Counselor.
533
00:30:00,048 --> 00:30:01,508
Could've just called, Ted.
534
00:30:01,591 --> 00:30:03,468
Yeah, well, we happened to be out.
535
00:30:04,677 --> 00:30:07,013
Saw you on TV. Guess you're back.
536
00:30:07,722 --> 00:30:08,973
I guess so.
537
00:30:09,057 --> 00:30:11,559
Good. I got some business for you.
538
00:30:11,643 --> 00:30:13,394
One of our boys needs help.
539
00:30:13,478 --> 00:30:17,065
Hard Case Casey,
some bullshit parole violation.
540
00:30:18,358 --> 00:30:21,069
Well, I'm nothing
if not a man of my word, Ted.
541
00:30:21,152 --> 00:30:23,279
Call my office,
we'll figure something out.
542
00:30:23,863 --> 00:30:24,739
-Will do.
-All right.
543
00:30:24,823 --> 00:30:25,657
Oh.
544
00:30:26,658 --> 00:30:28,076
Say hi to Cisco for me.
545
00:30:33,873 --> 00:30:35,500
You owe those guys or something?
546
00:30:35,583 --> 00:30:37,210
Or something. Come on, let's go.
547
00:30:50,849 --> 00:30:52,684
[Mickey] We're down to the wire.
548
00:30:52,767 --> 00:30:55,728
We've each got one challenge left.
Who do you think they're gonna cut?
549
00:30:56,604 --> 00:30:58,231
Number ten. That's his best bet.
550
00:30:59,649 --> 00:31:01,693
I might have a way to deal with that.
551
00:31:02,610 --> 00:31:03,653
Who should I cut?
552
00:31:04,237 --> 00:31:05,655
What does your gut tell you?
553
00:31:05,738 --> 00:31:07,532
[Mickey] Seven or 27.
554
00:31:08,157 --> 00:31:10,535
Twenty-seven? That's the Marlboro man.
555
00:31:11,244 --> 00:31:13,830
Everything about him
screams prosecution, but…
556
00:31:13,913 --> 00:31:15,331
He's an independent thinker.
557
00:31:15,415 --> 00:31:18,167
He might not accept
the State's line on the gunshot residue.
558
00:31:19,252 --> 00:31:21,004
On the other hand, number seven,
559
00:31:21,629 --> 00:31:22,797
he is laser-focused.
560
00:31:22,881 --> 00:31:24,549
Barely moves a muscle.
561
00:31:24,632 --> 00:31:25,925
Can't get a read on him.
562
00:31:26,009 --> 00:31:29,470
He's an engineer.
That means he's detail-oriented.
563
00:31:29,554 --> 00:31:32,307
A guy like that
can see through the State's case.
564
00:31:32,390 --> 00:31:33,349
It's a tough call.
565
00:31:33,975 --> 00:31:36,060
If it were a science, I'd win every hand.
566
00:31:36,144 --> 00:31:39,397
To make matters worse,
I have to run every choice by my client.
567
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:40,815
You do have problems.
568
00:31:41,566 --> 00:31:43,443
You know, Trevor has a tell, too.
569
00:31:43,526 --> 00:31:45,486
Lining things up when he's nervous?
570
00:31:45,570 --> 00:31:46,613
Yeah, I noticed.
571
00:31:46,696 --> 00:31:48,573
Not just that, he rubs his legs.
572
00:31:49,365 --> 00:31:52,368
He does it to pacify himself.
It can be a sign of deception.
573
00:31:53,494 --> 00:31:57,081
You owe me dinner for all this.
I'll take anything with a Michelin star.
574
00:31:58,708 --> 00:32:01,044
-It's a date.
-Well, I wouldn't go that far.
575
00:32:01,127 --> 00:32:02,295
Maybe someday.
576
00:32:03,379 --> 00:32:04,714
If you ever get over her.
577
00:32:07,216 --> 00:32:08,384
[call disconnects]
578
00:32:58,267 --> 00:33:00,269
[Lorna] Cute. Is this electric?
579
00:33:01,854 --> 00:33:03,356
[car lock beeps]
580
00:33:12,615 --> 00:33:13,992
[Lorna] A couple of things.
581
00:33:14,075 --> 00:33:17,495
Number 27 drives a hybrid
with a Sierra Club bumper sticker.
582
00:33:17,578 --> 00:33:20,289
[Mickey] Good. So, he goes his own way.
What else?
583
00:33:20,373 --> 00:33:22,750
Number seven
looks like he lives out of his car.
584
00:33:22,834 --> 00:33:25,461
What kind of engineer
makes a mess like that?
585
00:33:25,545 --> 00:33:27,714
That's a good question. All right. Thanks.
586
00:33:31,384 --> 00:33:32,385
What was that about?
587
00:33:33,386 --> 00:33:34,345
Our last challenge.
588
00:33:40,685 --> 00:33:41,811
[Ryan] Lorna?
589
00:33:43,688 --> 00:33:46,315
It's Ryan. From first year torts.
590
00:33:46,399 --> 00:33:47,608
Southwestern Law?
591
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:49,694
-Right. Ryan.
-Yeah.
592
00:33:49,777 --> 00:33:51,279
I'm interning for a firm.
593
00:33:51,362 --> 00:33:53,489
-You?
-You know, same.
594
00:33:53,573 --> 00:33:54,490
I gotta ask.
595
00:33:54,574 --> 00:33:56,993
Where did you go?
You were a rock star in that class.
596
00:33:57,076 --> 00:34:01,706
Wheaton used to call on you all the time
and then one day you were just gone.
597
00:34:03,124 --> 00:34:04,292
I don't know, um…
598
00:34:05,835 --> 00:34:08,963
Work. Stuff. I don't know. Um…
599
00:34:10,006 --> 00:34:12,216
It was really good
to see you. I have to go.
600
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:13,217
[hesitates]
601
00:34:19,057 --> 00:34:22,685
I think we've got to cut number seven.
There's something off about him.
602
00:34:22,769 --> 00:34:24,937
Don't look at the jury. Look at the grid.
603
00:34:27,106 --> 00:34:30,359
-Seven's an engineer. I like him.
-I did, too. But…
604
00:34:30,443 --> 00:34:32,695
No. He was giving me
good eye contact all day.
605
00:34:32,779 --> 00:34:36,657
Don't cut him. Cut number ten.
I don't like the way she looks at me.
606
00:34:36,741 --> 00:34:39,744
Ten? That's your best juror, Trevor.
607
00:34:39,827 --> 00:34:41,788
Got to try
and stop Golantz from cutting her.
608
00:34:41,871 --> 00:34:44,123
Mickey. What did I tell you?
609
00:34:45,166 --> 00:34:46,250
[man] All rise.
610
00:34:49,712 --> 00:34:50,755
You may be seated.
611
00:34:52,632 --> 00:34:55,259
Ladies and gentlemen,
I apologize for the late start.
612
00:34:55,343 --> 00:34:58,221
But if we move quickly,
we can still finish before lunch.
613
00:34:58,304 --> 00:34:59,514
Counsel, you ready?
614
00:34:59,597 --> 00:35:02,767
The defense has a motion
that's best brought up in chambers.
615
00:35:02,850 --> 00:35:03,726
May we confer?
616
00:35:09,107 --> 00:35:12,276
Your Honor, the defense
would like to make a Wheeler motion.
617
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,737
-I'm sorry, what?
-On what grounds?
618
00:35:14,821 --> 00:35:17,406
Mr. Golantz
has used nine of his challenges,
619
00:35:17,490 --> 00:35:19,450
seven of which have been on women.
620
00:35:19,534 --> 00:35:21,536
In my view that's called discrimination.
621
00:35:21,619 --> 00:35:24,789
It's called offensive. I have
a valid reason for every juror I've cut.
622
00:35:24,872 --> 00:35:26,749
I'm sure we would love to hear them.
623
00:35:26,833 --> 00:35:30,253
It doesn't make sense. Your client is
accused of murdering his wife.
624
00:35:30,336 --> 00:35:32,839
-I want all the women I can get.
-Then why did you cut so many?
625
00:35:32,922 --> 00:35:34,715
[judge] Mr. Golantz, save it.
626
00:35:35,424 --> 00:35:37,301
You're reaching here. Motion denied.
627
00:35:38,803 --> 00:35:41,973
So much for finishing this morning.
We'll take an early lunch.
628
00:35:42,056 --> 00:35:45,393
You each have one challenge left.
Let's not make this a nail-biter.
629
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,107
-That's bullshit and you know it.
-Then you have nothing to worry about.
630
00:35:57,738 --> 00:35:59,031
[man] Dennis Wojciechowski.
631
00:36:00,616 --> 00:36:02,034
Yeah, I can find you, too.
632
00:36:02,743 --> 00:36:03,911
You threatened my wife?
633
00:36:06,831 --> 00:36:08,040
Ex-wife.
634
00:36:08,124 --> 00:36:11,669
And I didn't threaten her.
Just presented her with a couple of facts.
635
00:36:12,753 --> 00:36:14,088
Here's a fact for you.
636
00:36:14,172 --> 00:36:17,383
You come near me or my family again,
I break you like a toy.
637
00:36:18,259 --> 00:36:19,218
Is that a gun?
638
00:36:19,302 --> 00:36:20,595
You don't wanna find out.
639
00:36:21,345 --> 00:36:23,222
Stay the fuck away from my wife.
640
00:36:40,489 --> 00:36:41,616
[Lankford] Tanya Cruz.
641
00:36:43,034 --> 00:36:44,493
Detective Lankford, LAPD.
642
00:36:44,577 --> 00:36:47,079
This is Maggie McPherson
from the DA's office.
643
00:36:48,539 --> 00:36:49,665
What is this about?
644
00:36:49,749 --> 00:36:50,958
It's about Angelo Soto.
645
00:36:52,043 --> 00:36:54,921
Don't worry. We have eyes on him.
He's waiting for you at home.
646
00:36:55,004 --> 00:36:57,506
-What do you want?
-Just a minute of your time.
647
00:36:58,758 --> 00:37:01,552
[Maggie] Only one reason
a man goes to the gynecologist with you.
648
00:37:01,636 --> 00:37:03,554
How many months pregnant are you?
649
00:37:05,139 --> 00:37:08,267
Three months.
I have to go now. He's waiting.
650
00:37:09,352 --> 00:37:12,063
Are you aware your name
is on several of his bank accounts?
651
00:37:13,022 --> 00:37:13,856
I…
652
00:37:14,815 --> 00:37:17,109
He had me sign some papers.
653
00:37:17,193 --> 00:37:18,861
That's how guys like him operate.
654
00:37:18,945 --> 00:37:21,864
They insulate themselves
so someone else takes the fall.
655
00:37:21,948 --> 00:37:23,115
I don't understand.
656
00:37:23,199 --> 00:37:24,992
Okay. Well, let me be clear.
657
00:37:25,076 --> 00:37:26,160
Soto's gonna go down,
658
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:29,121
if you're part of the paper trail,
you're going down with him.
659
00:37:29,205 --> 00:37:32,208
Give birth to your baby in jail.
They'll take it away from you.
660
00:37:32,291 --> 00:37:34,877
Please. I don't know
anything about his business.
661
00:37:34,961 --> 00:37:36,629
For your sake, I hope you're wrong.
662
00:37:37,922 --> 00:37:39,590
You're gonna need a lawyer.
663
00:37:39,674 --> 00:37:40,800
You can't trust his.
664
00:37:40,883 --> 00:37:43,970
Say anything to anyone, you're dead.
You know that, right?
665
00:37:45,179 --> 00:37:47,473
You're gonna need someone you can trust.
666
00:37:47,556 --> 00:37:48,474
Trust him.
667
00:38:06,367 --> 00:38:07,368
[judge] Mr. Golantz.
668
00:38:15,376 --> 00:38:18,296
People would like to thank and excuse
juror 27, Your Honor.
669
00:38:23,634 --> 00:38:25,511
You said he was gonna cut number ten.
670
00:38:25,594 --> 00:38:28,014
I said I'd keep that
from happening and I did.
671
00:38:29,098 --> 00:38:30,975
Counsel, approach, please.
672
00:38:46,782 --> 00:38:47,616
What?
673
00:38:49,201 --> 00:38:50,911
Juror ten just spoke to the clerk.
674
00:38:50,995 --> 00:38:54,123
She thought you were
following her in the parking lot at lunch.
675
00:38:54,206 --> 00:38:55,041
What?
676
00:38:56,292 --> 00:38:59,211
-That's ridiculous.
-Were you trying to intimidate a juror?
677
00:38:59,295 --> 00:39:00,296
No.
678
00:39:02,590 --> 00:39:04,175
I was trying to find my car.
679
00:39:05,134 --> 00:39:06,677
The one you made me drive.
680
00:39:07,303 --> 00:39:08,137
The Prius.
681
00:39:08,220 --> 00:39:11,140
Do you have any idea
how many Priuses are in Los Angeles?
682
00:39:12,892 --> 00:39:14,268
Is the judge gonna cut her?
683
00:39:14,352 --> 00:39:16,979
There's not
enough evidence you did anything wrong.
684
00:39:17,063 --> 00:39:18,230
There, see?
685
00:39:18,314 --> 00:39:20,983
That doesn't change the fact
she still thinks you did.
686
00:39:21,067 --> 00:39:22,610
So now I have to kick her,
687
00:39:23,235 --> 00:39:24,528
with my last challenge.
688
00:39:28,199 --> 00:39:29,075
Mr. Haller?
689
00:39:29,658 --> 00:39:32,995
The defense would like
to thank and excuse juror number ten.
690
00:39:36,457 --> 00:39:38,376
I didn't do it on purpose.
691
00:39:38,459 --> 00:39:39,794
I hope not, Trevor.
692
00:39:39,877 --> 00:39:41,670
With you, I never really know.
693
00:39:46,801 --> 00:39:48,594
And with that, we have our jury.
694
00:39:48,677 --> 00:39:50,304
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.
695
00:39:50,388 --> 00:39:51,847
We'll see you Monday morning.
696
00:39:57,436 --> 00:39:59,605
Truth is,
you can never really know for sure
697
00:39:59,688 --> 00:40:01,524
if you picked the right jury or not.
698
00:40:01,607 --> 00:40:03,484
That's why
they call them the Gods of Guilt.
699
00:40:04,693 --> 00:40:06,695
All you can do is pray to them.
700
00:40:18,666 --> 00:40:20,000
I'll break you like a toy.
701
00:40:20,835 --> 00:40:21,877
[Cisco] Is that a gun?
702
00:40:21,961 --> 00:40:23,379
You don't wanna find out.
703
00:40:24,505 --> 00:40:26,298
Stay the fuck away from my wife.
704
00:40:35,224 --> 00:40:36,058
-Hey.
-Hey.
705
00:40:37,476 --> 00:40:40,521
I was on my way home.
I figured I'd check on Hayley.
706
00:40:40,604 --> 00:40:43,232
She's online with some friends.
I'd leave her be.
707
00:40:44,984 --> 00:40:46,610
I figured I'd check on you too.
708
00:40:48,487 --> 00:40:51,323
-You don't have to do this, Haller.
-Do what?
709
00:40:54,660 --> 00:40:57,121
I'm sorry I haven't called you back.
710
00:40:57,204 --> 00:40:58,330
Rough couple of days.
711
00:40:59,540 --> 00:41:04,462
And the other night
I was upset, obviously,
712
00:41:04,545 --> 00:41:08,174
and things went
somewhere they shouldn't have, and…
713
00:41:08,257 --> 00:41:09,341
I'm sorry.
714
00:41:09,425 --> 00:41:11,385
Whoever that was, that was not me.
715
00:41:14,763 --> 00:41:16,765
No, that was you.
716
00:41:16,849 --> 00:41:18,767
I mean, it smelled like you.
717
00:41:18,851 --> 00:41:19,727
It felt like you.
718
00:41:19,810 --> 00:41:20,686
Mickey.
719
00:41:22,229 --> 00:41:24,148
Can we agree
it's good you left when you did?
720
00:41:25,608 --> 00:41:29,153
Yeah. Good. We're both glad I left, so.
721
00:41:32,865 --> 00:41:35,451
What are you doing here?
Don't you have jury selection?
722
00:41:35,534 --> 00:41:36,827
No, we finished today.
723
00:41:36,911 --> 00:41:39,872
Besides I can walk
and chew gum at the same time.
724
00:41:39,955 --> 00:41:41,582
Gum? Is that what I am?
725
00:41:42,958 --> 00:41:43,959
Very tasty gum?
726
00:41:44,043 --> 00:41:45,127
Okay.
727
00:41:46,337 --> 00:41:47,338
You know what?
728
00:41:47,421 --> 00:41:50,508
I actually have a favor
I need for my case.
729
00:41:50,591 --> 00:41:51,634
Anything.
730
00:41:51,717 --> 00:41:54,053
I don't have time
to talk about it tonight,
731
00:41:54,136 --> 00:41:55,471
but I'll call you tomorrow?
732
00:41:56,764 --> 00:41:58,807
The things I do for you, McFierce.
733
00:42:20,996 --> 00:42:22,164
[sighs]
734
00:42:24,583 --> 00:42:26,502
-[detective] Counselor.
-Jesus.
735
00:42:26,585 --> 00:42:30,297
You scared the hell out of me.
Couldn't this wait until morning?
736
00:42:30,381 --> 00:42:34,343
Sorry, but that missing money
of Jerry's you mentioned?
737
00:42:34,426 --> 00:42:36,178
I checked it with his bank.
738
00:42:36,262 --> 00:42:40,432
He took out 150 grand, in cash.
739
00:42:40,516 --> 00:42:42,017
Told the banker it was to buy a boat.
740
00:42:42,101 --> 00:42:44,728
I've checked every marina
from here to San Diego.
741
00:42:44,812 --> 00:42:45,896
There is no boat.
742
00:42:46,605 --> 00:42:48,357
Not one registered to Jerry anyway.
743
00:42:50,109 --> 00:42:52,194
So, what are you thinking?
744
00:42:52,278 --> 00:42:53,779
After Bruce Carlin's death,
745
00:42:53,862 --> 00:42:57,283
Riverside PD searched his place
and found a burner phone he used.
746
00:42:57,366 --> 00:42:59,118
-Great.
-Don't get too excited.
747
00:42:59,201 --> 00:43:01,870
Carlin was careful.
There's nothing explicit.
748
00:43:02,788 --> 00:43:06,166
But the messages show
he made a delivery to somebody
749
00:43:06,250 --> 00:43:09,169
the same day Jerry took out all that cash.
750
00:43:09,253 --> 00:43:10,379
What kind of delivery?
751
00:43:10,462 --> 00:43:13,632
No idea. But we've got missing money.
752
00:43:13,716 --> 00:43:15,843
We've got mystery calls from the Feds.
753
00:43:15,926 --> 00:43:19,221
And the Elliott case
is the biggest one you inherited, right?
754
00:43:19,305 --> 00:43:21,473
The biggest case of Jerry's career?
755
00:43:22,099 --> 00:43:24,852
Lot of pressure
to beat a high-profile murder like that.
756
00:43:24,935 --> 00:43:26,312
Yeah, tell me about it.
757
00:43:26,937 --> 00:43:27,938
All right, so?
758
00:43:29,273 --> 00:43:31,900
What if the money was for a bribe?
