00:11:36.
00:11:37.
00:11:37.
00:11:37.
00:11:38.
00:11:39.
00:11:40.
00:11:40Wow.
00:11:44What's the occasion?
00:11:46You'll see.
00:11:49You're going to want to sit down for this.
00:12:00Wait, the guards?
00:12:01Aren't going to see anything.
00:12:07I paid them off.
00:12:10I thought we could use a little privacy.
00:12:13Oh, yeah?
00:12:14Privacy for what?
00:12:19So we can get to know each other a little better?
00:12:25This is definitely a homely side of you, MC.
00:12:29But first, I'm going to need to give you a little pat down.
00:12:34Make sure you're not carrying anything.
00:12:42Dangerous.
00:12:55Find anything.
00:12:57I think I've got to do another sweep.
00:13:20What's next?
00:13:23Don't you worry.
00:13:26You're in good hands now.
00:13:45But wait.
00:13:47You've been bad, haven't you?
00:13:49Yes, ma'am.
00:13:51And I need to be punished.
00:13:57I must be dreaming if I think there's any chance my lawyer's going to fall for me.
00:14:01But that doesn't mean I can't hope for it anyway.
00:14:14I know it was just a dream, but I can't stop thinking about her.
00:14:22Yeah, I just didn't sleep well.
00:14:27Well, whatever you do, don't talk.
00:14:31That's a tall order.
00:14:33I think I can allow it.
00:14:36Pre-trial is all about strategy.
00:14:39Whoops.
00:14:43Get these off.
00:14:44Do those look familiar?
00:14:46I'm pretty sure those are the ones we used to use in the bedroom.
00:14:49It was your favorite, if you ask me.
00:14:51Hey, relax, okay?
00:14:53It's just a joke.
00:14:54Let me just take care of that real...
00:14:55Oh.
00:14:56There we go.
00:14:58Much better.
00:14:59Well, shit.
00:15:00I guess dreams really do come true.
00:15:02You really got him under control since the last time we saw each other.
00:15:06You're just lucky it's my strong arm.
00:15:08You got cuffed.
00:15:09That's all I'm saying.
00:15:11Where are the keys?
00:15:14Ah.
00:15:15Damn it, I forgot them in the car.
00:15:17But hey, good luck with that.
00:15:22I'm going to look like an idiot if I appear in front of the court handcuffed to my own client.
00:15:28I now call this court to order.
00:15:33I just got handcuffed to my client during the most important trial of my career.
00:15:38Great.
00:15:40Whatever you do, keep your hand close to mine.
00:15:43Oh, yes, ma'am.
00:15:48Counsel, please state your appearances.
00:15:51Good morning, Your Honor.
00:15:52This is Julian Reed for the people.
00:15:55Um, yes, good morning, Your Honor.
00:15:57Cassie Burns on behalf of Mr. Henninger.
00:15:59Sit up beside me.
00:16:01Good morning, Your Honor.
00:16:04Miss Burns, approach the bench.
00:16:07No, no, I'm totally screwed.
00:16:10Now, please.
00:16:13Go ahead.
00:16:19What?
00:16:20What on ever is going on here?
00:16:24Miss Burns,
00:16:25why are you handcuffed to your client?
00:16:28Never mind, never mind.
00:16:30Bailiff!
00:16:31Will you please disengage these two?
00:16:34Oh, this is going to be fine.
00:16:43Oh, sweetie.
00:16:45I heard.
00:16:47Great.
00:16:48Now, the entire L.A. legal community knows I showed up to the trial in handcuffs.
00:16:52Should we call up the bar association next?
00:16:54Take this as a lesson.
00:16:56Always keep your distance from clients.
00:16:58I can't help but believe his innocence, though.
00:17:00I think that he's a con man with a lot of charm that's got him very far.
00:17:05And I think that you are his next mark.
00:17:08I appreciate you looking out for me, Emily.
00:17:10Of course.
00:17:11It's hard for women to get ahead in this field.
00:17:14We have to support one another.
00:17:16Emily would like nothing more than to see me fail.
00:17:19But could she be right about Lucas?
00:17:21Is he completely playing me?
00:17:25Hinegar, you have a visitor.
00:17:40Hi, baby.
00:17:42Long time no see.
00:17:46Miss me?
00:17:47What the hell are you doing here?
00:17:49Victory lap before they put you away, honey.
00:17:53Considering they stuck you with that bimble of a lawyer.
00:17:56Cassie.
00:17:58Whatever her name is.
00:17:59You keep her name out of your mouth, you hear me?
00:18:01It's really bold of you to be showing your face around here.
00:18:03A fake ID can get you a long way.
00:18:06And mine's gonna take me all the way across the border.
00:18:10Collect thinking you have a chance of getting out of here.
00:18:12She's getting me out, alright?
00:18:15She actually gives a shit about me.
00:18:17Unlike you.
00:18:22It's just business, baby.
00:18:23It's just business, baby.
00:18:35Hello?
00:18:37Is anyone still here?
00:19:04I have to find out who sent this before they find me.
00:19:10Did you know I got a death threat at my office?
00:19:13Sticking my neck out for you, Lucas.
00:19:16Just so you know, when you decide to not take my advice and dismiss that plea deal, you signed your
00:19:21own death warrant.
00:19:23And possibly mine.
00:19:28Okay.
00:19:31I'll do whatever you want me to.
00:19:39How'd it go?
00:19:41That baddie lawyer version that gets you off?
00:19:44Maybe in more ways than one?
00:19:46I don't know.
00:19:48Don't talk about her like that.
00:19:50Oh, you going soft for her?
00:19:52No.
00:19:53She's different, alright?
00:19:55She actually cares.
00:19:57You know those public defenders don't make enough money to give a fuck about us.
00:20:02So whatever she's telling you, it's all an act.
00:20:06It's not an act.
00:20:07She's a plan, alright?
00:20:10We just need more evidence before the trial.
00:20:13I believe in her.
00:20:19You're really not afraid to get in conflict, though?
00:20:21No.
00:20:22No, and you got nothing to lose.
00:20:25If they find out your plan, I'm screwed over, too.
00:20:29Then they better not find out.
00:20:34You better not be the one who opens his mouth, because if you fucked this up for me, you're a
00:20:39dead man.
00:20:52The death threat was addressed from the Econolodge.
00:20:55Whoever sent it must be familiar with the case.
00:21:02Why wouldn't the police want this footage?
00:21:04If Lucas was guilty, wouldn't it only support their case?
00:21:16The night of the murder.
00:21:19These tapes will finally give me the answer.
00:21:21But if Lucas is guilty...
00:21:28Someone erased the exact moment of footage that could have exonerated Lucas.
00:21:55Cassie, are you okay?
00:21:57What happened?
00:21:59Fine.
00:22:00Hey, keep your distance here, nigger.
00:22:06Listen, I went to the motel last night, and, um, someone attacked me.
00:22:12They ran off before I could see who it was.
00:22:15You shouldn't be out there risking your life for me like that.
00:22:18Well, they figured out why the prosecution hasn't subpoenaed the tapes.
00:22:22There's nothing on them.
00:22:24I'm sorry, Lucas.
00:22:26Someone clearly tampered with them.
00:22:28It's just a video of static when the crime took place.
00:22:31I'm definitely gonna pin it on me now.
00:22:34See, I was trying to cover my tracks.
00:22:37We'll figure out another way.
00:22:42I think I know who's taking that letter.
00:22:45Who?
00:22:48Natalie.
00:22:49My ex-girlfriend.
00:22:51Hey, Dom.
00:22:52Why don't you, uh, go grab yourself a cup of coffee.
00:22:55Just take ten.
00:23:04How do you have that much cash on you?
00:23:06You know what?
00:23:08Don't tell me.
00:23:15Can I see?
00:23:23God.
00:23:27Cassie.
00:23:30I'm so sorry.
00:23:32This is my fault.
00:23:34You didn't know.
00:23:37Natalie came here the other day.
00:23:38She was just taunting me, trying to get in my head.
00:23:41I should have told you.
00:23:43She knows what happened?
00:23:45Yeah.
00:23:46And she's helping that bastard get away with it.
00:23:49They got together soon after we split.
00:23:51We could track her down, talk some sense into her.
00:23:54No.
00:23:55They ain't not talking sense into that woman.
00:23:58Why not?
00:23:59The night of the murder, we...
00:24:03We hooked up.
00:24:08Wait.
00:24:11We shouldn't.
00:24:12What if Ro finds out?
00:24:14Why are you so scared of him?
00:24:16I'm not.
00:24:24Didn't quite enjoy imagining that.
00:24:27It was just a one-time thing, I swear.
00:24:31I wouldn't usually fuck my friend's girl.
00:24:37Even if she was mine first.
00:24:40I'm guessing Natalie won't agree to take the stand for you.
00:24:44No chance at all.
00:24:45If she did, Earl would find out that she cheated on him.
00:24:48It's me.
00:24:49It's your life on the line, Lucas.
00:24:51Yeah, hers too.
00:24:52You'd kill her if you found out.
00:24:55Okay.
00:24:57Then if you want the jury to believe your story, you're going to have to straighten up your act.
00:25:02No more outbursts.
00:25:03No more fighting in court.
00:25:06Be a gentleman.
00:25:09What about that prick ex-boyfriend?
00:25:13I'm just fooling.
00:25:14I'm just fooling.
00:25:44I'm just getting trapped.
00:25:45What are we doing?
00:25:47Grab his piece.
00:25:53Cassie, come with me.
00:25:54Where are we going?
00:25:55Let's go.
00:25:55What?
00:26:04Are you sure this was a good idea?
00:26:07Solitaire is the last place anyone wants to be.
00:26:10They're not going to find us here.
00:26:13It's funny how things work out.
00:26:16What do you mean?
00:26:18I mean, I want you to win this case so bad, and now I'm locked up in here with you.
00:26:26Well, you're safer in here than out there.
00:26:30Thank you for keeping me safe.
00:26:33I think I should be the one that's saying thank you.
00:26:36You've always believed in me, Cassie.
00:26:39It's nice to know someone actually cares.
00:26:45Hey.
00:26:47I got you.
00:26:50I'm not going to let anything happen to you, Cassie.
00:26:52Promise.
00:26:58It feels really good, having you in my arms.
00:27:04Yeah.
00:27:06It does.
00:27:28I'm sure you don't have to smile.
00:27:29This is the first time I lay eyes on you.
00:27:31No, you don't have to dream.
00:27:37I'm not going to let anything happen.
00:28:00I'm ready to go.
00:28:02I won't.
00:28:08Are you sure?
00:28:27I just slept with an accused felon and liked it.
00:28:36We should get out of here.
00:28:44What is she doing in here?
00:28:47She's my attorney. We got caught in the lockdown.
00:28:51Come with me.
00:28:58Did he hurt you, ma'am?
00:29:00No, actually, he saved me.
00:29:02Let's get you out of here.
00:29:03What's gonna happen to Luke, my client?
00:29:06We'll determine the necessary disciplinary actions once this riot mess is sorted out.
00:29:10But he did nothing wrong.
00:29:12Ma'am, every man in here has done something wrong.
00:29:15Just not everyone in here is willing to admit to it.
00:29:18Including me.
00:29:24It has to be our little secret.
00:29:30Sorry I'm late.
00:29:32You scared me there for a minute.
00:29:35Might not show.
00:29:37Um, well, about yesterday.
00:29:42I know things got crazy in the heat of the moment.
00:29:45I just...
00:29:46Just let yourself feel.
00:29:50We can't, Lucas.
00:29:53It was a mistake.
00:29:54No, it wasn't a mistake.
00:29:56Not to me.
00:29:57It's okay to feel.
00:29:59I mean, we're human after all, right?
00:30:01And I know I feel something with you.
00:30:04Lawyer or not.
00:30:06It feels real.
00:30:08If anyone found out, I'd have to recuse myself.
00:30:10I couldn't be your lawyer anymore.
00:30:13I know.
00:30:33This stays between us.
00:30:40If anyone found out I've been hooking up with a client, I'd be fired.
00:30:45Cassie, I need to see you in my office.
00:30:47Now.
00:30:52We all heard about what happened at Franklin Penitentiary.
00:30:56There's no way they know what happened between me and Lucas.
00:31:03Yes.
00:31:04Yes, and I know I shouldn't have...
00:31:05First things first.
00:31:07Are you doing okay?
00:31:09Getting locked up in solitary confinement with a dangerous client.
00:31:12Must have been scary for you.
00:31:15Um...
00:31:16Yeah, it was, but...
00:31:18Henninger was a gentleman.
00:31:19It's more than I could have handled as a rookie attorney, I'll tell you that much.
00:31:24I'm trying.
00:31:26I know.
00:31:26And it shows.
00:31:28But look, if you need to come off this case, no one's gonna think less of you for it.
00:31:33I know 20-year veterans who wouldn't touch a case like this.
00:31:37Or would consider him a dead man walking.
00:31:39No, I'm not gonna give up on him.
00:31:42Suit yourself.
00:31:44But a little personal advice?
00:31:47I'd invest in some personal protection.
00:31:59Oh, Cassie.
00:32:01Oh, my God.
00:32:03Oh, you poor, poor thing.
00:32:06Locked in a cell with a client accused of murder?
00:32:09How traumatizing.
00:32:12I wasn't in any danger with him.
00:32:14Oh, if you ever need a shrink.
00:32:18He is the best.
00:32:21He totally got me through my first divorce talk about trauma.
00:32:24Can we table this?
00:32:25I have a lot of emails to answer.
00:32:27Yeah, yeah, of course.
00:32:29I'm just, I'm just so glad that you're coming off this case.
00:32:31I mean, sure, our work is important, but it doesn't mean we have to risk our lives.
00:32:36I'm still representing him.
00:32:38You're what?
00:32:41Cassie, baby.
00:32:43He's a murderer.
00:32:45Everybody knows that.
00:32:46I mean, it's all circumstantial.
00:32:49There's a chance I win this case, and that's a risk I'm willing to take.
00:32:54Speaking of winning.
00:32:59You're engaged.
00:33:01I didn't even know you were dating anyone.
00:33:03He was a lucky guy.
00:33:05I think she's referring to me.
00:33:14Well, I mean, congratulations.
00:33:18You two are perfect for each other.
00:33:21Well, thanks for being so mature about it, Cassie.
00:33:24We thought you'd be really torn up.
00:33:26I could kill him right now.
00:33:28Yeah, you're a total girl's girl.
00:33:30I just hope you're not spying on me for the case.
00:33:36I can win on my own merit.
00:33:39I don't need Emily gathering until for me.
00:33:42He wins all of his cases.
00:33:45The prosecutor's office has him next in line to be district attorney.
00:33:49They treat us really good over there.
00:33:51I'm guessing no bagel on lox Fridays here.
00:33:54Well, the PD's office doesn't like to waste taxpayer dollars.
00:33:58Daddy wear bucks.
00:33:59Daddy, huh?
00:34:01Haven't heard you call me that since...
00:34:04I've got to go.
00:34:06Dinner reservations.
00:34:07Yeah.
00:34:08Enjoy.
00:34:11Enjoy.
00:34:13All three inches of them.
00:34:15This means war.
00:34:17Horse-sized duck?
00:34:19Or 100 duck-sized horses?
00:34:24Hey.
00:34:26Doing okay?
00:34:28He'll be alright.
00:34:31Don't let him get to you.
00:34:37What is she doing here?
00:34:38Hey, baby.
00:34:41Great. Now I have an audience.
00:34:45All rise.
00:34:48We are here today to examine the case of Lucas Henninger versus the people.
00:34:56Prosecution? Your argument?
00:34:58Thank you, Judge Griffin.
00:35:01This man right here brutally gunned down another man at his place of work.
00:35:07He's an example of the lowest dregs of society.
00:35:11Someone who cannot and will not be redeemed.
00:35:16Over the course of this trial, the prosecution will show that not only Mr. Henninger here committed the crime,
00:35:22but also that there's no more appropriate sentence than the death penalty.
00:35:29Lucas can't die.
00:35:31There is more than his life on the line.
00:35:33It's my heart.
00:35:35Am I starting to fall for him?
00:35:50What's the matter?
00:35:52Nothing.
00:35:58Don't let that loser get to you.
00:36:00You're better than this.
00:36:02Am I?
00:36:04I mean, I'm sleeping with my client.
00:36:07It was more than that to me.
00:36:10No matter what, I'm glad this all happened.
00:36:13The setup.
00:36:14I mean, heck, even the jail time.
00:36:17Why?
00:36:18Because if things hadn't gone this way.
00:36:22I never would have met you.
00:36:31For you.
00:36:38I knew it since the moment I met you, Cassie.
00:36:41I wanted you.
00:36:45Then come and take me.
00:37:06Oh, she is so finished.
00:37:09We will reconvene tomorrow morning at 9am.
00:37:13Court is adjourned.
00:37:16This trial has been a disaster.
00:37:18But I can't lose.
00:37:20None of it means Lucas is gonna die.
00:37:22Come on.
00:37:23Think.
00:37:26We need to talk.
00:37:38You're gonna get me out of this room?
00:37:42The prosecution's built a strong case.
00:37:46It's not looking great.
00:37:49Perfect.
00:37:51They're gonna send me straight to the electric chair.
00:37:53It's lethal injection, not...
00:37:57I'm sorry, I'm not helping.
00:38:00Um...
00:38:00Let's not spiral, okay?
00:38:03Stay positive.
00:38:07Cassie, please.
00:38:08You're the only person left that believes in me.
00:38:11Even if it's hard to prove.
00:38:13Another attorney's just gonna half-ass it until the jury seals my fate.
00:38:17He's right.
00:38:18And withdrawing mid-trial would only delay things more.
00:38:22Everyone else just thinks I'm a hopeless cause.
00:38:25No one is hopeless.
00:38:28I really believe that.
00:38:30Especially not you.
00:38:32I know it's wrong.
00:38:34But I want Lucas as much as he wants me.
00:38:37I can't deny it anymore.
00:38:50Sorry, I'm...
00:38:51I'm...
00:38:52Don't be.
00:38:55This is a huge risk for both of us.
00:38:58If anyone at the PD's office found out I could lose my job...
00:39:01I could lose my life.
00:39:08Maybe we could make this work.
00:39:11But no one...
00:39:12I mean no one...
00:39:14Could know.
00:39:15Could things between Lucas and me actually get serious?
00:39:28After they sentence me, I might not ever see Cassie again.
00:39:32Tomorrow's another day.
00:39:34We could still turn this trial around.
00:39:36Yeah.
00:39:38Yeah, we're in this together.
00:39:39And I can't imagine my life without her.
00:39:42Do you want a comment?
00:39:43No comment, please.
00:39:45Oh, but I have a comment.
00:39:49That's enough, Natalie.
00:39:50Stop fighting it.
00:39:51You're gonna lose.
00:39:53You know exactly what happened that night.
00:39:55Please don't sentence this man to death.
00:39:56If you ever cared about him.
00:39:58I never cared about him.
00:40:02Come on, she's not worth it.
00:40:04Have a good night's sleep in jail.
00:40:06Cause it's the last time you're gonna see your lawyer alive.
00:40:30Trial day one.
00:40:31Any big wins?
00:40:32Don't.
00:40:34I didn't know you set a date for the wedding.
00:40:37I meant to tell you
00:40:38You've just had your hands full with that client of yours
00:40:42I just don't want to send an innocent man to his death
00:40:45So, yeah, I've been a little preoccupied
00:40:48Seems like Henninger's been getting a lot of your attention, huh?
00:40:56What?
00:40:57She couldn't possibly know about me and Lucas
00:41:00Yeah, because I actually care about my clients
00:41:02Rookie mistake
00:41:04It's a bad idea getting too emotionally invested in
00:41:06Any of these cases
00:41:16Where do you think you're going?
00:41:18Just a little trip south of the border
00:41:21Yeah?
00:41:22Yeah
00:41:24So you can play that game
00:41:28Hey, easy
00:41:29Guard
00:41:30It's okay, don't worry
00:41:32I paid him off to look the other way
00:41:34Oh, so you thought through everything, didn't you?
00:41:37We need to be more careful
00:41:39I can't keep defending you if we get caught
00:41:41Yeah
00:41:42That's half the fun, isn't it?
00:41:44Not getting caught
00:41:47Spoken like a true criminal
00:41:54You know I want you
00:41:57But I feel like I can't
00:42:00Really, truly have you until I'm a free man
00:42:18She's fraternizing with her clients
00:42:22You're kidding
00:42:23It's all of myself
00:42:26Getting all cozy in the holding cell
00:42:29That sounds just like Cassie
00:42:31Throwing herself at any man with a pulse
00:42:34Doesn't that include you?
00:42:36If we can prove this
00:42:37Then we can get this whole trial thrown out
00:42:39And Cassie Burns
00:42:41Will never practice law ever again
00:42:47I am marrying someone so brilliant
00:42:51And hot
00:42:55I can't stand the sight of Julian and Emily
00:42:58Lucas was right about him
00:43:04I've got to find a way to win this case
00:43:06Even if it takes all night
00:43:13Hey, you got a sec?
00:43:14Make it quick
00:43:15My silly, Victor
00:43:17The man before the riot
00:43:18He was shooting off his mouth
00:43:19I was saying about how he was going to take this place down
00:43:22I don't want to hear your gossip
00:43:23It ain't gossip
00:43:25Look, you already got a problem on your hands
00:43:27You're going to have another if you don't stop him
00:43:40Hello?
00:43:43Is anyone here?
00:44:08How'd you sleep?
00:44:12What do you want with me?
00:44:13I heard you made a little stop at the Econo Lodge
00:44:18Additional discovery for the case
00:44:19Well, you can stop looking now
00:44:22I knew you were there with Lucas that night
00:44:24I was there to keep him
00:44:29Distracted
00:44:31That's right, sweetheart
00:44:34What's wrong?
00:44:35Jealous?
00:44:36That makes you an accomplice to murder
00:44:37You knew Earl was about to murder a man in cold blood
00:44:41Well, he's long gone by now
00:44:43And Fez didn't get him
00:44:45They're going to put everything on Lucas
00:44:47Easy target
00:44:48And when they put the hammer down on Lucas
00:44:51I'll join him
00:44:52You're his only alibi
00:44:53Well, tough shit
00:44:55He should have thought about that before dumping me
00:44:58And now I'm going to get rid of you
00:45:00So he doesn't even have a chance
00:45:06You don't have the balls
00:45:08You want to bet?
00:45:17Forgot the ammo, huh?
00:45:22I told you to stay off this case
00:45:25So the letter
00:45:27It was you
00:45:29Your pathetic attempt at intimidation
00:45:32How's this for intimidating?
00:45:37You know, you were right
00:45:38About that security footage
00:45:41I have it right here
00:45:43And soon
00:45:44I'll be destroyed
00:45:46Forever
00:45:54Son of a bitch
00:45:56For what it's worth
00:45:58I really did think you would win this case
00:46:01I guess no one ever knows
00:46:08You fucker
00:46:11How did you get in here?
00:46:12I had to make a little prison break
00:46:14Hey, get back!
00:46:21You know, when you said you had a crazy accent
00:46:23I didn't think you were this literal
00:46:24Yeah, he didn't mention
00:46:26What a deadbeat fucking boyfriend he was to me either
00:46:29You betrayed me
00:46:33You cheated on me with my business partner
00:46:37I'm going to do you one last favor, Natalie
00:46:39I'll let you live
00:46:40But don't ever
00:46:42Show your face around here again
00:46:44Because she's your only alibi
00:46:48Go!
00:46:51This isn't over
00:46:56Are you okay?
00:47:03I can't believe he risked everything to save me
00:47:05I would do anything to protect you
00:47:08You should do the same for me
00:47:10How did you know Natalie was going to be here?
00:47:13At my waist
00:47:17Now that she's gone
00:47:18We can't prove you're innocent
00:47:24How about this little guy?
00:47:32We can win your case with that
00:47:36But we need to get you back to prison
00:47:39Wait
00:47:40This is my first time being free
00:47:43In a long time
00:47:45And who knows
00:47:46What the judge is going to say
00:47:47Even with the evidence
00:47:49What do you mean?
00:47:55I just want to know
00:47:56What it's like to be with you
00:47:56As a free man
00:48:14We can't do this here
00:48:17Yeah
00:48:20Sometimes being bad
00:48:22Is a little more fun
00:48:45I gotta say
00:48:46Seeing you all tied up
00:48:49It really did something to me
00:48:55Yeah
00:49:11No, there's no stopping me
00:49:13No, stop
00:49:16I'm fine
00:49:16Alyssa
00:49:17I'm fine
00:49:21No, don't you
00:49:21I can't John
00:49:21I can't do this
00:49:27I just give you
00:49:30I can't do this
00:49:35I can't do this
00:49:37I should give you
00:49:38I can't do this
00:49:38I can't do this
00:49:43God
00:49:44I can't do this
00:49:45Can't do this
00:49:46Take a항
00:49:46If they find you here, we're both in huge trouble.
00:49:49No.
00:49:51I don't want that to happen.
00:49:55Casey, do you trust me?
00:49:58As long as I do.
00:50:02Hey, stop right there.
00:50:04Let's just talk about this.
00:50:06Please, Mr. Henninger, turn yourself in.
00:50:08You guys think you can take me?
00:50:10I'd like to see you try.
00:50:12I just want to see everybody get out of here in one piece.
00:50:14Key evidence was missing.
00:50:16He just wanted to ensure he could find it.
00:50:18It was a matter of life and death.
00:50:20You guys would love to see me on the chopping block.
00:50:22Please, Lucas, don't do this.
00:50:28For you.
00:50:30And only you.
00:51:04Son of a bitch.
00:51:06There it is.
00:51:07The truth of the night.
00:51:08In black and white.
00:51:10It was a cover-up.
00:51:11They blamed Lucas, knowing the police wouldn't look into it that much.
00:51:15Knowing the LAPD, I'm not surprised.
00:51:17This is the smoking gun we needed.
00:51:19We can win this case for Lucas.
00:51:21Only if you're quick enough to enter it into evidence.
00:51:29You fucking snitch.
00:51:35What?
00:51:36I don't know what you're talking about.
00:51:38I saw that pretty little lady lawyer of yours.
00:51:42You getting some of that?
00:51:45You have no idea what you're saying.
00:51:46Oh, maybe I should get a piece of that, huh?
00:51:49Shut your mouth, Victor.
00:51:51Don't talk about a woman like that.
00:51:52Woman stuck a bitch is more like it.
00:51:55I heard you two got in a conjugal during the riot.
00:52:00That's not what happened.
00:52:01Then why the fuck are you telling the guards I started that shit?
00:52:05Hell, you should be thanking me.
00:52:10Uh-uh-uh.
00:52:12Either you keep your mouth shut,
00:52:14or I cut that snitch tongue of yours out.
00:52:18You know what, asshole?
00:52:20Why don't you shut it for me?
00:52:46I heard your client had a bit of a prison break.
00:52:51So I guess that means a trial.
00:52:54It's over.
00:52:56You'd like that, wouldn't you?
00:53:06Is he okay?
00:53:08Yeah, I'll be right there.
00:53:19I came as fast as I could.
00:53:22That's just a scratch.
00:53:24Good thing I'm thick-skinned.
00:53:26And hard-headed.
00:53:27You were supposed to stay out of trouble.
00:53:30Yeah, well, you know me.
00:53:32Trouble follows.
00:53:33You're not going to be fit to stand trial.
00:53:35This could tank the case.
00:53:37Not to mention the additional charges for escape and kidnapping.
00:53:40And if I hadn't showed?
00:53:42Natalie would have killed you.
00:53:45The state already considers me a dead man.
00:53:48I'm just trying to do what good I can with the little time I got left.
00:53:51Stop.
00:53:52You have a lot of time left.
00:53:54I'm going to make sure of that.
00:53:58And remind us, how many gunshots did you hear, Mr. Henninger?
00:54:02Two, ma'am.
00:54:04I'd like to bring in the new tape submitted into evidence this morning, Judge Griffin.
00:54:08I'm sorry, Ms. Burns.
00:54:10We have no record of this alleged tape.
00:54:14What?
00:54:14But that's impossible.
00:54:19No further questions.
00:54:20Thank you, Ms. Burns.
00:54:23Now that the witness testimony has concluded, the jury will retire to the jury room for final deliberations.
00:54:32In a matter of hours, my fate will be sealed.
00:54:35And I might not ever see Cassie again.
00:54:37If I can't win this case for Lucas, they'll be sentencing an innocent man to death.
00:54:51I know you're screwing him.
00:54:53What?
00:54:54No.
00:54:55Playing dumb.
00:54:57Well, you certainly have a lot of experience doing that.
00:54:59I'm tired of your constant sabotaging.
00:55:01Mr. Henninger and I have remained completely professional.
00:55:04Then why?
00:55:06Did I see the two of you making out in the holding cell?
00:55:10She's bluffing.
00:55:11She has to be.
00:55:12But what if she saw us?
00:55:15We're in court.
00:55:17Your statements are nothing without proof.
00:55:19Don't worry.
00:55:20I've got some.
00:55:28Emily, please don't do this.
00:55:32Oh, look.
00:55:34Just the person I wanted to talk to.
00:55:37And who are you?
00:55:38Emily Dimmons.
00:55:39Public defender.
00:55:44You're so lucky to have Cassie as your lawyer.
00:55:47Isn't she so attentive?
00:55:49And personal.
00:55:51Yeah.
00:55:52She's a real professional.
00:55:54Emily was just leaving.
00:55:56Right.
00:55:57Off to the judge.
00:55:59Good luck, you two.
00:56:10Judge Griffin.
00:56:12Can I help you?
00:56:15About Miss Burns.
00:56:17There's something you should know.
00:56:23What are you doing out here?
00:56:26Bathroom break.
00:56:28Look, if she knows.
00:56:29She saw the two of us together in the holding cell last week.
00:56:32And when she tells the judge they're going to throw this whole case out.
00:56:38What makes you think they're going to believe her?
00:56:47It was on my phone.
00:56:48It's just right here.
00:56:50Hey.
00:56:51I got it under control.
00:56:52Don't worry.
00:56:53What are you talking about?
00:56:54The judge isn't going to find out.
00:56:57She has the proof on her phone.
00:57:02Not exactly.
00:57:04While she was busy trying to get under your skin,
00:57:07I took the liberty of securing the evidence.
00:57:10Lucas.
00:57:11What?
00:57:12Just take a little trip to the men's restaurant?
00:57:15Then we'll be halfway through the sewer by the time she finds out.
00:57:18Lucas just saved my career.
00:57:24What did you do with it?
00:57:26With what?
00:57:28You.
00:57:29Both of you.
00:57:31You are going to pay for this.
00:57:33Hey, what's the problem?
00:57:34This criminal stole my phone.
00:57:37Are you accusing my client of theft?
00:57:39No.
00:57:40I'm accusing both of you.
00:57:42I know you have it.
00:57:45Hey.
00:57:46Ma'am, you must leave now.
00:57:51Hello?
00:57:53Do something.
00:57:57Go.
00:57:59You're not getting away with us.
00:58:01Go.
00:58:07You shouldn't have done that.
00:58:08What else was I supposed to do?
00:58:10I had no other choice.
00:58:11They want to paint you as a criminal.
00:58:12We can't give them any more ammunition.
00:58:14She was going to ruin this case for us.
00:58:17Now life's over.
00:58:18No, it's not.
00:58:20It's not.
00:58:26But we have to be ready for their verdict.
00:58:29No matter what.
00:58:32Look, Cassie, whatever happens, I just want to say thank you.
00:58:40You've done more than give me just a voice.
00:58:43It's hope.
00:58:45You're the only person that's believed I was innocent ever since the get-go.
00:58:49You've always believed in me.
00:58:50Because you were honest.
00:58:53When I look at you, Lucas, I see a good man.
00:58:57The jury will see you too.
00:59:01I hope so.
00:59:05You know, this might sound crazy, but I'm falling for you, Cassie Burns.
00:59:12Run away with me.
00:59:14Lucas is a passionate man.
00:59:16That much I know.
00:59:17Is this really more than just a fling?
00:59:33Tomorrow, I'm a free man.
00:59:37When I think about my future, I see you in it.
00:59:43I do too, Lucas.
00:59:51Cassie, I love you.
01:00:01This could be the last time I ever see Lucas again.
01:00:04We both know this has been more than just a fling.
01:00:07I feel it too, but...
01:00:10Members of the jury, have you reached a unanimous verdict?
01:00:14We have, Your Honor.
01:00:25In the case of Lucas Henninger versus the people,
01:00:29the jury finds the defendant.
01:00:33Please, please, let him be innocent.
01:00:36Let Lucas live.
01:00:38Guilty.
01:00:40For the offense of murder in the first degree,
01:00:44the court imposes a sentence of death by lethal injection.
01:00:52I can't believe we lost.
01:00:54Lucas will die in prison.
01:00:56And it's all my fault.
01:00:59Lucas, I'm so sorry.
01:01:01You did the best you could, Cassie.
01:01:03I wasn't good enough.
01:01:05Hey, um, good game, by the way.
01:01:07Fuck you, Julian.
01:01:09I'll be sending you an invoice for that cell phone stunt, by the way.
01:01:16I'm sorry if we just had gotten to the tape.
01:01:18No.
01:01:19I'm glad about the way things turned out.
01:01:22I got to experience real love.
01:01:24For the first time in my life.
01:01:27Yeah, I did too.
01:01:30Henninger.
01:01:32It's time.
01:01:41Hope you enjoyed your little affair with your felon boyfriend.
01:01:45Probably the last time you'll ever see him, now that he's in the chair.
01:01:48Oh, it's lethal injection now.
01:01:50You know that, right?
01:01:51It's a figure of speech.
01:01:55Cassie, I need to speak with you.
01:02:01Have a good talk.
01:02:02Might be the last one you ever have in this office.
01:02:06I don't know what happened to the tapes we submitted in evidence.
01:02:09I mean, if we had just...
01:02:10Cassie, stop.
01:02:11When you started here, I wasn't sure you had what it takes.
01:02:15But after this trial, now more than ever...
01:02:19The cameras.
01:02:21Oh, no.
01:02:22Does Ronnie Russell know about me and Lucas?
01:02:25I'm calling a mistrial.
01:02:27What?
01:02:29Why, did I do something wrong?
01:02:30Not you.
01:02:31The prosecution.
01:02:34Apparently, their attorney decided it was a good idea to prevent you from entering the tape into evidence.
01:02:42He used water to erase the information on the tape.
01:02:50The digital forensic team at the precinct was able to recover your footage.
01:02:54Your smoking gun.
01:02:56I can't believe it.
01:02:57Your client deserves another chance.
01:02:59But we have to move quickly.
01:03:01The penitentiary has already scheduled Mr. Henninger's execution.
01:03:05Any final words?
01:03:07Yes.
01:03:09He's innocent.
01:03:11Cassie.
01:03:12The judge has stayed the execution.
01:03:14They're declaring a mistrial.
01:03:17Lucas Henninger deserves to live.
01:03:20All right.
01:03:21We gotta shut this down until the courts can get their shit together.
01:03:30Hey, God, you're okay.
01:03:33Cassie.
01:03:33Hi.
01:03:34You saved my life.
01:03:36The DEA tracked down Natalie and Earl.
01:03:38They're rating them as we speak.
01:03:41Good.
01:03:42They deserve what they got coming to them.
01:03:46Let's get you out of these restraints.
01:03:48No, wait.
01:03:50It's been too long since we've been alone together.
01:04:55Baby!
01:04:57Ow!
01:04:59What are you looking at?
01:05:06Wow, you look...
01:05:09I'm fine.
01:05:11Cast him free.
01:05:13Let me tell you something.
01:05:14It feels great.
01:05:18First day of freedom.
01:05:19Yeah.
01:05:20I'm just grateful for another day above ground.
01:05:23And I want to spend it with you.
01:05:25The parole is only temporary until the next trial.
01:05:28So make sure you enjoy every last bit of it.
01:05:30I will.
01:05:33And speaking of which, I wanted to talk to you with the retrial coming up and everything.
01:05:41Cassie, you've done more than just set me free.
01:05:44You've changed my life.
01:05:47You saw me when no one else would.
01:05:50And you always believed in me.
01:05:54Thank you for believing in yourself.
01:05:56Well, you know, honestly, I'm just excited to get to do normal stuff with you now in the outside world.
01:06:01Before anything, I think we need to figure something out.
01:06:05Yeah?
01:06:06What's that?
01:06:08Am I going to be your lawyer?
01:06:10Or your girlfriend?
01:06:20I know it's not much, but...
01:06:22I made this for you.
01:06:24On the first day we met.
01:06:27Lucas, I don't know what to say.
01:06:30Cassie, I know what it's like to take life for granted.
01:06:35And I'm not ever going to do that again.
01:06:38Starting now, I want to speak my truth.
01:06:47Cassie, I've been given a second chance at life.
01:06:51I'm going to do things right.
01:06:53Starting with you.
01:06:57Cassie Burns, will you marry me?
01:07:02Yes.
01:07:03Yes, I do.
01:07:05I'm going to do things right now.
01:07:07I'm going to do things right now.
01:07:11I'm going to do things right now.
01:07:12I'm going to do things right now.
01:07:12I'm going to do things right now.
01:07:12I'm going to do things right now.
01:07:13I'm going to do things right now.
01:07:14I'm going to do things right now.
01:07:14I'm going to do things right now.
01:07:15I'm going to do things right now.
01:07:18I'm going to do things right now.
01:07:18I'm going to do things right now.
01:07:19You
