Jill: Okay, good news --

Andrew and his husband
just got matched

with a baby girl to adopt.

-Wow!
-Amazing!
-Ah! So happy for them.

So that means we all
need to pitch in

and help him out
while he's gone.

-We're here.
-Anything.
-Of course.

Obviously, the big thing
is the Betty Baker trial.

That's Andrew?
Did not realize.

Right now,
she's just being tried

for the East Midtown
Mutual Bank robbery,

but if you've even
glanced at a tabloid

in the last six months,

you know they suspect her

in a string of other robberies
around Manhattan.

It's a tough case.

Facts are bad.

Government isn't
offering anything.

And there's
a sympathetic eyewitness

who was shot in the bank.

And the trial starts
in two days.

[ Groans ]

I have a verdict coming in,
unfortunately.

Love Andrew,
but I'm buried right now.

So happy for him and Dan.

Don't be nervous.

Easy for you to say.

How many bombs did you
diffuse in Kandahar?

One too few.

Well, more than anyone
on that jury.

They're gonna
find me guilty.

We don't know that.

You have a good story.

That I cashed my dead mom's
Social Security checks?

That you shed blood
for your country

and your injuries
meant unemployment,

which was nowhere
near sufficient --

Which has nothing to do
with their verdict.

That has everything to do
with your sentence.

You are a veteran.

You do not deserve
to be put in a position

where the only way
you could afford

to put a roof
over your head

was to commit a crime.

Even if the jury
finds you guilty --

and I'm not saying
they will --

the judge will understand
what you've been through.

I feel good about this.

Guilty.

Remember,
this is not the ballgame.

Mr. Hardin, we're gonna
set a sentencing date.

At that time, I will consider
any arguments your lawyer

wants to make on your behalf,

but having heard the evidence
against you,

I do want to be clear --

what you did
was deceitful and wrong.

It requires a penalty
that will send a message --

to deter this kind of conduct

and address the seriousness
of your crime.

Jill: Sounds like
Judge Guillotine.

It's Gallatin.
No, it's Guillotine.

The way you're saying it,

it sounds like the thing
with the heavy blade

that chops off heads.

Last time I was in front
of Guillotine,

he sent my client to prison

because he said
it was time for her to

"learn
a little life lesson."

She was 91.

Great.

What am I gonna do?

This might be time for you
to consider film school.

Thank you for the vote

This is a real thing?
Absolutely real.

And incredibly effective

Okay.

Well,
the last movie I made

was this little spy camera
I set up in the laundromat --

No, no.

You need a professional

Even better.

Someone who knows
how to use music,

narration, real emotion.

Who do I contact?

No idea.

Well, what kind of budget
do we have?

No budget.

I've heard about these,

but so far as I know,

nobody in this office
has actually made one.

I'm sorry.

You just got me excited
about something I can't do.

Possibly.

If you do go down this road,

it should be good, tasteful.

I've been getting up to speed

for us in this trial.

One is the receipt
found at the bank

that was traced back
to your credit card,

and the other is
the eyewitness testimony

from the man who was shot.

We can fight the receipt.

I feel confident about that,

but the eyewitness will
be...more challenging.

It's one person.

Yes, but if
he's credible --

How credible can he be
if he's lying?

I don't trust
anyone anymore.

I completely understand.

I was like that, too.

Anyway, Bill Clinton died
when I was 12,

Bill Clinton actually died

You are putting on a defense
you know is false.

I don't know it's false.

I wasn't there.
Neither were you.

The only thing
I actually know

is that you withheld evidence
that you knew would help me.

Ms. Littlejohn, is there an
objection you'd like to make?

I object to her.

Overruled.

So, um, the bad guys
in "Die Hard" were German.

But one of them
was Russian.

So, it's confusing.

Ah, yes.

So, let's say I did want
to move this along with Jill.

Okay, what direction?

Forward.
Yes.

Like, uh,
living together.

Right.

Uh, how would you
approach that?

You were married, right?

You proposed.
Didn't go well.

The proposal or
the marriage?
All of it.

Well, tell me
what you'd say.

[ Door closes ]

So, listen --
Sounds like you're
delivering bad news.

Hold my hands.

Look me in the eye.

Call me by my name.

Tina or Jill?

Jill.

Jill, I've been
thinking a lot --

No, stop.

Okay.
Stop.

Thinking a lot?

Why are you thinking a lot?

This should be easy.

You're offending me.

Are you Jill
or Tina when --
Both!

Go ahead.

[ Exhales ]

Jill.

You make me happy.

There isn't a day
that goes by

that I don't want
to talk to you.

See you.

Be with you.

That I don't think of you
when I'm not with you.

That I don't wish I'd met you
a long time before I did.

That I'm not thankful
for any time

I've gotten to
spend with you.

I want to live with you.

I-I want to live together.

I think it's lovely.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Hey.
Hey.

Thanks for dropping off
the Jenkins dismissal.

I appreciate it.

Sorry about the mix-up
the other day.

No problem.

Is that a bird?

In a uniform?

We're making a sentencing
mitigation video,

and I mistakenly
hired David Lynch,

if David Lynch
was British and obnoxious

and had no talent
and really loved crows.

Aren't all those
videos stupid?

I mean, I think
the idea is okay.

To manipulate a judge
with a movie.

To do what we can to
humanize our clients.

I guess this is one area
where prosecutors

and defense attorneys really
see things differently.

I'm not sure it's
all prosecutors

and defense attorneys.
It might just be you and me.

Those things are manipulative
and ridiculous.

What's ridiculous about
telling a client's story?

The fact that you're
not telling it.

You're turning it into
a cheesy infomercial.

Infomercials can be
very informative.

If the facts spoke for
themselves,

they wouldn't need
mood lighting

and a soundtrack by Enya.

I like Enya.

And the judge in this case

didn't hear all the facts.

Whose fault is that?

My bad. We should just keep
this stuff out of the apartment.

Yes, this is Switzerland.

Seth: I don't have to
respect what you do

to get along
with you at home.

Are you saying you don't
respect what I do?

I didn't mean you
specifically.

Oh, so I'm a bad lawyer
and a cheap stereotype.

I didn't say cheap.

We're just talking about facts
versus production values.

No. We're talking about
empathy for people

versus being executed
by Judge Guillotine.

It's Gallatin!
I know it's Gallat--

You know, maybe just stay out
of my business here, okay?

You're the one who asked me
to try to help you put

a tiny uniform on
a stuffed bird!

The pants don't even fit!

Betty Baker walked into
East Midtown Mutual Bank,

pulled a ski mask over her face,

demanded money, and threatened
to kill whoever got in her way.

When things didn't
go as planned,

she turned on her boyfriend,
Nick Loomis, and shot him.

Without hesitating.

She didn't pause to see
if he was all right.

She fled the scene

so quickly that, in her haste,

she dropped a receipt with her
credit card number on it.

This is what happened.

These are the facts.

Ms. Bell wants you to believe

that the truth in this case
is muddled.

That the testimony you have
heard points to someone

other than Betty Baker
robbing a bank

and trying to kill her boyfriend
to cover her tracks,

but that is simply untrue.

Mr. Loomis is a flawed man

who has made some
very poor choices
and big mistakes,

but none has been greater

than the simple, essential,
elemental one

of falling
for the wrong person.

Of believing someone
to be decent and honorable

when she is not.

In believing that a relationship
can be anything more

than expedient and
transactional.

That the person he trusted
was motivated by something

other than avarice and anger
and self-regard.

♪♪

We don't agree on a lot.

That's the nature
of this system.

That's why we are here
talking to you

from opposite sides of the room.

To give you our perspective.

The evidence as we see it.

To let you decide.

But Ms. Littlejohn
and I do agree

on one important thing
in this case.

The only important thing,
really.

That what we do here
comes down to trust.

Do you trust Mr. Loomis?

That's it.

If you do, you can
and probably should

convict Betty Baker.

If you don't, then you cannot
convict Betty Baker.

Do you trust him?

You know he lied.
He told you he lied.

He came in here, and he looked
you in the eye,

and he said, "I lied."

That is the only thing you know
for a fact about Nick Loomis.

That the government
offered him immunity,

and he changed his testimony.

That he is a liar.

That he will say and do
whatever it takes

to avoid responsibility
for his role in this crime.

Ms. Littlejohn wants you to
focus on the relationship

between Betty and Nick.

I want you to think
about the relationship

between Nick and you.

You are good people.

You believe things,

and you fight for the things
you believe in,

and you are honest
in that fight.

Your friends and co-workers,
your fellow jurors,

trust you because they
know what you believe.

Nick Loomis is a man who doesn't
believe in anything.

And how do you trust someone
who doesn't believe in anything?

So, we've got to
make this quick

a hearing to get to.

Hi.
Hi.

Okay, your charging documents
in the last two fraud cases

have been inflammatory and
preposterously aggressive.

Even for you.
Um, you like

Yes.

And you have this little weasel

who keeps badgering
one of my first years.

I don't remember his name --

I don't think that's it.

No, I'm saying Barney Greengrass

Can you do it?

Uh, sure, yes, right.

We can go together.

Uh, meet me here tonight.

The Baker case.

I'm sure you know,

Kate Littlejohn withheld
Brady material --

Uh, no, open it later.

Okay.

We're gonna appeal if we lose,
which we probably won't.

Byrne left us an opening.

Wait, what happened
in the Baker case?

When you tell your story,

I need you to tell it
as if it's happening now.

Right here.

My story?
Your story.

My whole life story
is now?

Here and now.

I'm not sure
I understand.

Neither do I.

You get it?

Uh, blue and the khaki,
thanks.

Should Chris
shave as well?

Oh, he won't be on camera
for this.

You're just using
the audio?

I won't be recording that,
either.

It's to give me the emotion.

I'm afraid I still don't

Not "your work."

There's not gonna

Sit down.

What's going on?

She's pleading out.

Three years on the robbery,

I never offered a deal.
I offered it.

I'm about to win
this case.

By withholding
Brady material --

Judge Byrne ruled with me.

And if you win,

they're gonna appeal,

You represent every client

with the Chief of
the Criminal Division

of the U.S. Attorney's
Office --

I've had a relationship with
Roger Gunn for seven years.

That relationship
has been different things

at different times.

I don't know what it is now.

And it's not your business.

We're not married.

We have
no entangling interests.

You think I haven't
thought about this?

This isn't about
what I think.

It's about the perception
of a conflict.

What happens when some
disgruntled client

finds out about this

and alleges ineffective
assistance of counsel?

Then they will lose

because nothing I have done
or am doing

is a violation of my
professional responsibility.

You don't believe that.

It's complicated --

It's not complicated.

You're having a relationship

that compromises
your ability to do your job.

And my ability
to do my job.

You want to know
what I think?

That is what I think.

You're upset
about this case.

Yes.
I'm upset about this case.

I am upset because you
negotiated a deal with Roger,

and I don't know
if you did that

because it was in the best
interest of our client

or because Roger offered it.

I'm upset because I don't know
