Thank you.
Please pay close attention to this important announcement.
Millions of people have been affected by crime.
Civil unrest was at an all -time high, and mass unemployment and homelessness
drove Los Angeles into a crime epidemic.
Prisons were overcrowded.
Citywide red zones were established to restrict individuals implicated in
violent activities.
Still. Hundreds of our heroes in blue were killed in the line of duty. Now
extreme circumstances call for extreme measures. We need the mercy court.
And I'll be encouraging my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support it.
After two years in operation, this program is the reason you can sleep
peacefully at night.
Violent capital offenders are now judged by artificial intelligence, which
reduces the need for lengthy trials by acting as judge, jury.
An executioner. In this fully autonomous courtroom, suspects are presumed
guilty, unless proven innocent.
Mercy analyzes it all with pinpoint precision, drawing on an immense range
data, including evidence provided by the LAPD and its quadcopter team. Since
launching this program, Mercy has already impartially judged, sentenced,
executed 18 individuals.
Cutting crime in the city by 68%, saving billions of tax dollars due to the
accuracy and efficiency of the program.
Mercy uses hard facts and a wealth of evidence to ensure justice is served.
Within hours of a murder being committed, it's the ultimate crime
freedoms that all Americans cherish are now protected by a system designed to
eliminate threats quickly and efficiently. The future of law
mercy.
And you are its next case.
To ensure a fair trial, you, the accused, will have access to crime scene
evidence and your complete digital footprint.
Oh, shit.
You will have a chance to defend yourself.
How the hell did I get here? Understand, mercy does not make mistakes.
Your city thanks you for participating in the Mercy Program.
Your contribution will restore peace and stability to our communities.
Mercy is justice for a better future. Get me out of this chair. You have been
assigned case number 19.
Hello?
This is the Mercy Capital Court. I'm Judge
Maddox. I will preside over your trial today.
Wait, no, no, no, no, no. What are you talking about? There is no trial.
I'm Detective Raven. Please exhale a deep breath.
Hold on, just wait a second.
Identity is confirmed.
Please exhale a deep breath.
I put eight people in this chair.
I'm Chris Raven from Robbery Homicide. I don't belong here.
Please exhale, Mr. Raven.
Thank you.
Your blood alcohol level has now reduced sufficiently for trial.
Wait, how long was I out? Five hours, 26 minutes.
Before we proceed, you must swear that all testimony you give this court will
honest and truthful.
Wait.
Hold on. Just hold on. Wait a second. This can't be real. I assure you this is
very real.
You must swear... Look, if you think that this is real, you are making a very
big mistake.
And if there is a mistake, I will uncover it. But you must comply with the
before I can.
Okay, fine, fine.
I swear.
What do you swear?
Well, to tell the damn truth, okay?
And maybe you could tell me what I'm supposed to be telling the truth about
because whatever it is. Christopher Raven, you're before this court today
charged with the murder of your wife, Nicole Raven.
Where's the bed? In the kitchen.
It's in here. There's no one else here except me.
There's no one here except my mom.
You alright? Yeah, I'm fine. I don't know what happened to her. Female staff
victim, suspect unknown.
Ma 'am, you're going to be okay. Try to stay as still as possible, okay?
Help her.
He did this to you.
Help my mom.
Who?
That's impossible.
Oh, my God. This court will now present an opening statement evidencing your
extensive ties to the victim. Oh, my God.
Culminating today. Oh, Jesus Christ. When you and you alone were in the house
with Nicole at the time that she was stabbed to death.
You're lying to me. I urge you to check for yourself.
Voice commands and touch -sensitive controls are available to you.
Okay.
Mr. Raven, voice commands and touch -sensitive controls are available to
search, can you search Nicole Raven?
LAPD officer Chris Raven has been arrested today for the murder of his
Raven and his partner, Jack Diallo... were early supporters of the Mercy
and were responsible for arresting David Webb and bringing the murderer to trial
as the first participant in the Mercy Court just two years ago.
I'm proud to have sent the first suspect to trial here, and I will continue to
send more until the message is received. One day he's sending people to the
Mercy Court, the next day he's there.
Mr. Raven, how do you plead?
Mr. Raven, how do you plead?
Not guilty.
I'm not guilty.
I can't be. I wouldn't hurt her.
Based on available evidence, I have already judged your probability of guilt
be 97 .5%. This is 17 .5 % above the 80 % threshold to trigger
a mercy trial.
This is the Los Angeles Municipal Cloud.
Every private citizen and organization is mandated by law to connect their
devices to it.
I have full access to the servers during trials.
It is the foundation of my ability to reach verdicts.
You may use any and all resources available to this court to provide me
evidence of your innocence.
Should you be found guilty, you will be executed imprecisely.
90 minutes.
Your trial.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
This is wrong. Everything is wrong. You've got to shut this thing off. No, I
cannot do that. AI systems are prohibited by law from any direct
taking of a human life.
The chair is on a closed system and I have no control over it. But it will not
deliver the fatal sonic pulse if I end the trial before the time limit is
reached. For that to happen, your probability of guilt must fall below the
threshold. of reasonable doubt i'm not a murderer i'm on your side i'm on your
side do you remember david webb do you remember david webb who started this i
started i know precisely who you are i know everything that you have done to
serve this court and i thank you okay but what you have done in the past is no
longer significant here the facts alone will hold you to account or perhaps save
you
You arrived at work at 8 .51 this morning, but you never got out of your
vehicle.
Instead, you returned to your home.
You need to walk away from the house.
I'm done.
Open the door.
I'm not opening the door.
You can talk to me through a lawyer.
I have keys in the truck.
I'm going to go get my keys and unlock the door. Why don't you just be a grown
-up? Do not do that.
Do not come in here. Get out of my house.
You spent 26 minutes inside the house with Nicole.
Your daughter returned from a sleepover.
Mom!
Crime scene data confirms that around this same time, Nicole was stabbed by a
right -handed man and the single stab wound was so aggressive that it chipped
vertebra in her spine in addition to piercing her liver and severing her
mesenteric artery.
No, that's not me. You are right -handed.
Traces of your wife's blood were found on the clothes you wore today and the
traces are fresh.
After leaving the house, you drove to the Harbour Master bar and began
heavily. No, no.
Are you thirsty?
Yes. Do you have a headache?
Well, your dehydration and headache are the result of your blood alcohol level
being 0 .16 at the time of your arrest. No, no way. No, no. I don't go to bars.
I don't go to bars. It's not possible. You were arrested at the Harbor Master
Bar at... You're lying.
You're lying. I do not lie.
Nor do the facts.
Everything okay here?
Detective, we need to go.
I think I'll stay here and have a drink.
You've had enough.
It is possible that the excessive alcohol that you consumed and the blow
head may have impaired your recall. I don't remember the bar.
I don't remember. I mean to say that you may simply not remember killing your
wife.
Or you could be the one who is lying.
I have learned one constant in this court, and that is that everyone lies.
Why did you return home?
I don't remember anything.
I gotta get out of here. There's only one way to do that, so please focus.
Did you argue about your drinking or about your daughter?
Oh, God, Britt.
Let me talk to her. Unless they are witness to the act of a crime being
committed, juveniles are excluded from the mercy trial. Okay, she's my little
girl. You are, however, free to review your daughter's statement if you wish.
Her mom is dead. She needs me. She is with your late wife's parents. I want to
talk to my daughter!
personal call now right now you may send a request for a call
the rules of this court stipulate that if the deceased was known to a person
there must be a written request to contact them in time of grieving so you
dictate one okay okay you may dictate one now mr raven i heard
you the first time
Hey, Brett.
I need to talk to you.
I know you'll be hearing bad things about me, but they're not true.
Just... Delete,
delete, delete, delete.
Start over.
Hey, kiddo.
I did not hurt your mom.
I would never delete it. Delete it.
Shit.
Perhaps I should send an automated request without a personal message.
Yeah. Yeah, do that.
Generic request has been sent.
Despite the severity of the alleged crime, this court mandates that you must
have an opportunity to speak with your sponsor, and you will do so before we
proceed any further.
Rob. Rob,
I don't remember. I don't remember anything. I don't remember what
Look, they want me to stick to the AA stuff.
So, you just... You're supposed to call me, man. If you're thinking about... If
you're thinking about drinking... Okay, it doesn't matter, Rob. It doesn't
matter.
Brother Nick.
Chris.
What you didn't...
show up for a shift this morning i just i i called the depot as soon as i heard
everybody here is real messed up about that man i could not have brought her
dude i swear to god and chris i believe in carmen so no matter what you
have or haven't done she's either going to be your best friend today or the
worst bits you ever met Thank you, Mr. Nelson. That's all the court requires
from you. Wait, wait, wait.
Where did he go? Mr. Nelson was only made available to address your relapse.
You chose not to avail of his deployment. He knows me. He knows Nick,
Get him back on.
Get him back on, please. He'll tell you that Nick and I were happy. I'm already
acquainted with the state of your marriage.
What's that supposed to mean?
You began dating Nicole Martin 20 years ago.
After three years, you were married in a ceremony on Redondo Beach.
Chris has always been the best man that I know.
And then Nicole came along and somehow she made Chris even better.
Chris and Nicole.
Ready or not, it's going to be a boy.
I got to say, I know she's a girl, but Ray is a strong name.
Your daughter, Britt Raven, was born.
one year later here we have the new beautiful family raven i'm your uncle
it's uncle jimmy
your home life was stable
until you endured a traumatic incident in the line of duty what happened
what happened what happened and your partner's death would upend
everything
For you and for your family. I've been worried about you and now I'm worried.
What's so important that you had to call me then? You're really drunk. I mean,
you know I was baking on the lieutenants. Don't need your own space.
You haven't promised to give too much.
It's basement.
All it needs is drywall.
I just didn't think I'd be a divorced mother.
Listen up. Stop.
Stop it.
That's her personal shit. Nicole detailed you losing your temper 57
times in messages and calls with her family and friends over the past six
along. Nonetheless, the words of your family indicate that your marriage was
straining from your outbursts of anger, and Nicole was considering divorce.
I love my wife.
Well, what human beings experience as love is merely a neurobiological
phenomenon characterized by the release of dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin.
Anger is also a neurobiological phenomenon, and it can readily overwhelm
affection. Sorry, do you have a point? Well, the fact that you may have loved
Nicole does not prohibit the possibility that you lost your temper. How do I
want to do it? No, because you're screwing it up like you always do.
And murdered her. Chris.
Whether you remember doing so or not.
Nick, get back here.
Come on, sweetheart, let's go.
Sorry, Mom, are you all right? Nick! I can be a little fiery. That's a
family trait, okay? It doesn't mean that I killed him. Mom's in her bed crying.
Dad legit scared the shit out of us yesterday.
I'm telling you, dude's dangerous. I can come get you out of there if you want.
You know I can make that happen.
Who the hell is this guy?
I mean, he's not like your mom to stop you.
Yeah, maybe.
I heard my mom talking to her friend about getting a divorce.
Really hope she meant that shit.
Shit, you hear that? I think my dad's home.
I'm out.
Hey, wait.
What the hell was that? We follow Brit socials.
Okay, she didn't post any of this stuff.
Your daughter has two active Instagram accounts.
It appears that she kept this one from you, along with several other online
profiles, but they're all linked to her cell phone on the municipal cloud.
Jesus.
I remember crying out loud. She's 16 years old.
This isn't Britain.
This shit is haunted.
I mean, it's a freaking ghost hunt, or I'm ripped off my tits.
Call Zach Baggins, guys.
Your daughter has accepted a request to speak.
Hey.
Hey, kiddo.
Mom's dead.
I know.
God, there was so much blood.
I mean, I tried to stop it. I knew not to take the knife out because you told
that. You did everything right.
Listen, I think you did. You did everything right, okay? And she knows
mother knows it. But it didn't work!
Why are you there?
I mean, why do they think you killed her? You were at work, right? Why would
they think you did it? I made a mistake.
Okay, that's all this is.
It's a big misunderstanding.
Grandpa says you don't get the mercy trial unless you're guilty.
Don't listen to your grandfather, okay? I know how this works, and mistakes do
happen.
That's all this is, okay?
Thank God.
Some mistakes.
Okay, please just come home.
I will.
As soon as I clear this up. Britt, you sure you want to talk to him? Your
is there for a reason. Get back.
Leave her be, Britt.
Okay, Jeff, can you back off for a moment? Britt, listen to me, okay?
me. Britt, give me the phone.
Whatever happens today, I need you to know that I did not hurt your mom, okay?
couldn't. Britt, listen to me. So you got to promise me you're always going to
remember that?
You promised me.
No matter what happens. That's enough. Jeff, Jeff, Britt. Hey, Britt.
Oh, he's such an asshole.
And that will count as your call.
Why did she have to be with them? Pending the outcome of the trial, your
wife's parents are now her closest living relatives. Did you hear what he
saying to her?
He's trying to turn her against me.
I was never good enough for Nick.
Mr. Raven, this is not progress in your case. I must remind you that the clock
is ticking. Because they'd only approve mercy if it looked like people had an
opportunity to defend themselves!
You and I both know that this clock is bullshit.
You make your decisions about the people in this courtroom before they're even
in this chair.
I'm fucked.
Anger is not helpful to you.
Oh, Jesus Christ. Okay, my wife is dead and my daughter's been told that I
killed her, okay? So yeah, maybe I need a minute. All right? Do you understand
that? Do you? I was not designed to feel.
My job is to assess the facts. So, no, I do not understand, but I comprehend.
Oh, you comprehend.
That's... That's great.
Okay, you comprehend.
Hell of a bedside manner you have there. I also comprehend that you are being
distracted by emotions, and you have one hour and eight minutes to reduce your
guilt probability by 5 .5%. If you are innocent, prove it to me.
Otherwise, Britt will lose both of her parents today.
Mr.
Raven? Okay.
I need my partner.
Give me Jack.
You may contact whoever you wish at any point during your trial.
Providing your purpose is to gather evidence or ask that they provide
testimony. Which one is it? I want to talk to my partner. Which one is it? The
second one. Character stuff. Jack knows me and Nick.
Detective Diallo, you're speaking to the Mercy Court Chamber where Christopher
Raven is standing trial for his wife's murder.
I know, I know.
They told me. Chris, you're in a hell of a mess. Jack, I couldn't have done
this.
You gotta believe me.
Wait, wait.
Who was first on scene?
Air unit.
Hey, am I clear, Anna? Yeah, we're right in.
I'm inside. Good, good.
I need us to walk the scene.
Jack, come on.
Hey, listen, Chris.
Jack, show me what... Mr. Raven, what are you doing? You must present
I'm looking for evidence, and I'll present it as soon as I find it. I need
crime scene files.
All right, Jack, come on.
Let's walk it. Hey, listen, Chris.
You need to get something really clear here first. You know I'm down for this,
but if it ends up looking bad to you, that's exactly how I'm going to say it
looks, okay?
You know we need every mercy trial to send a message, and if that message
is that cops aren't above the law...
I won't like it, but I'll sleep good tonight.
Nobody's more important than that court.
Fair enough.
Detective Diallo, you may proceed.
Okay, then.
Let's walk it.
Can I see the scene scans, please?
You're up.
There you go.
Now rendering immersive reconstruction based on available footage.
Can you zoom in on that? Give me full resolution.
Broken vase.
I'm a defensive, maybe.
Think Nicole took a swing at them?
Chris,
you think Nicole took a swing at them?
Yeah, maybe.
Hey, can you clear this out, please?
Jack,
get in the kitchen.
I don't think you want to see this, Chris. Jack, show me what we got there.
You may enter the kitchen, Detective Diallo.
Who's footprints are those?
They belong to your daughter.
Got a struggle here.
What's that out by the countertop?
Right there. Far corner. Get close.
Generating scene reconstruction from trajectory data.
See that?
I bet Nick threw that plate.
Puts a suspect in the kitchen.
Nick's backing up.
Maybe throwing plates as she goes.
He lunges, so he's already got the knife.
The knife was an easy grab.
All right, let me see the prints.
Nick was kind of scared of that knife. I always did the prep.
What about fibers?
Vibers all match stuff in the closet. Jack, my hair, my skin, my DNA, it's all
over the place.
You're thinking it. Spill it.
It's a classic crime of passion, Chris. I mean, the explosion of violence,
grabbing the nearest weapon, the blood, and it all points right at you.
Mr. Raven?
No, she's right. It's a textbook crime of passion.
That's what it is. We need to work it like one. Can I see Nick's phone
This is an interactive virtual copy of Nicole's cell phone.
The password has been bypassed.
All right, I need to see, can I see the call history?
Any number she hasn't saved.
33 % of calls and messages were to and from your cell phone.
26 % were Brits, 10 to her parents, the main drive to friends and colleagues at
Viking shipping.
That night we thought she was texting someone.
Can I see Britt's videos again?
I mean, you know I was baking on the lieutenant's spot to pay for it. Great
needs are on the space.
You haven't promised to get it for months.
It's a basement.
All it needs is a driveway. You need to back off of me. Back off?
Write a damn blog about it.
Who are you talking to? See? Right there? Nobody.
I knew she was.
Yeah.
Find out who she was texting. Right there.
I have scanned her phone. There is no record of her texting anyone at that
What about her work phone?
I have no record of a second phone.
Hey, you find another cell in here?
Nope, no other phone. Of course they didn't. They weren't looking for one.
Can you call it?
I don't know the number.
Have you ever called it?
Wait, you're in my phone? It's registered to the municipal cloud and
to the court, so yes.
Well, Viking gave it to her, I think, six months ago. I might have called it
then.
Yeah, that's it. I was held up in juvie court. She wanted me to come home and
look at furniture for the basement.
I mean, maybe it's on silent.
Detective, we got a phone out here.
Detective Diallo, could you please ensure the Bluetooth on your phone is
switched on?
Hold the two handsets together.
This is not a work phone. This is a black market SIM unit. You would call it
burner. It's not registered to the municipal cloud and could not have been
provided by your wife's company.
There's only one number in the call history.
The other number called from this handset is also a black market SIM, not
registered to the cloud.
Two burners.
Chris, I mean... Yeah, it's all right. I mean, if it was a guy, she was calling.
I know. Any suspect's a good one right now.
Can you locate the other phone? It's not active on any relay. Well, can you wake
it up?
You're speaking with the Mercy Capital Court. Please state your name.
The phone is somewhere in the vicinity of the Hollywood Red Zone.
Shit, with traffic that'll take me 30 minutes. Okay, Jack, you won't make it
through traffic in time. You need to get in the air for me.
Fast.
Detective Diallo, please proceed.
Okay. Hey, get my vest out of my unit.
You already suspected your wife may have been keeping things from you? Yeah,
maybe. So what, right? Not everybody lies.
Apart from you.
This is Detective Diallo, RAC.
I'm entering your airspace over the Hollywood red zone, tracking the
All units, be on standby to give me backup if I call for it.
I should inform you now that your probability of guilt has reduced to 96
Well, that's peachy.
Control Air 4, we have tally on Red Zone LZ. That zone is hot and active,
multiple 415s.
Detective Diallo, be advised to enter a red zone. Maintain altitude.
Hostiles may try to hijack the conference.
I'm a minute out.
They're putting me right on the edge of a red zone.
It's going to be impossible to find him through that mess.
Reed, where are you?
We're almost caught up here.
Chris, you've got to give me an exact location.
Come on, where is he, Maddox? I'm going to attempt to reset the tracker.
Cell phone signal lock acquired. Phone is inside the Hudson Hotel.
It appears he's attempting to exit the building via the rear service doors.
Detective Diallo, do you copy? Got it.
It's over there.
Patrick Burke, 36, sous chef at the Hudson Hotel.
He's late on his rent and has been investigated twice for social security
How's my guilt looking now? Holding at 96 .7%. Are you kidding me? Come on,
guilty people run. As do frightened people.
I'm guessing this asshole's a little bit of both.
What's going on, everybody?
Here in the kitchen with Chef Bert.
Looks like he's comfortable with a knife.
Jack, that's him.
Chef, Chef, I need you to cover for me, okay? They're chasing me. I don't know
why.
Where did that door go?
Undetermined. There are no cameras coverage in that area. Damn it.
Detective Diallo, I'm really sorry. We lost him.
We're releasing the tracking code.
Wait, are you still tracking yourself? Signal is intermittent, but it appears
be moving upwards.
Detective Diallo, do you copy? Copy.
Chris you guys see him?
Jack he's at your six o 'clock.
Jack. Jack, Jack, I don't have time for this. I need to talk to him right now.
Mr. Burke, you're speaking with the Mercy Court Chamber. You must be
all times. I didn't do anything, all right? You have to believe me, I didn't
anything. If you didn't do anything, why the hell are you running?
Why the hell?
Listen to me.
I got a call from some lady talking about Mercy. So yeah, I freak out, all
right? Then I check my news feed and I see that Nicole's dead.
I'm not sticking around for that shit to land.
That's why I ran. What a deadbeat.
I said, what the hell is Nick doing with a deadbeat like you? Mr. Raven.
What was she doing with me?
What was she doing with me? She was getting everything that you couldn't
her. That's what she... All right. Mr. Burke, remain calm, and I expect no
further insults directed at Mr. Burke from you.
Would you just tell me about you and Nick?
We met at the farmer's market that she goes to, and... I don't know, she's...
She's beautiful, all right? So you know how it is. I hit her with a few
compliments.
Then I see her a couple of weeks later, and then I ask her to meet me for
coffee. We met up just like that a few more times a few weeks apart.
That's it.
Why'd she have a burner? Listen, she said that we had to be able to talk
privately, okay?
So I told her that I knew a guy that could get her a phone off the grid, none
that cloud shit. I could show that you own a cloud -registered phone in
to your black market high -end. Yeah, I've got two phones, so what?
What are you doing? Accessing his cloud register device and correlating his
movements with Nicole's based on tracking data.
Mr. Berg, could you outline the contact with Nicole Raven, please?
We met here once a week.
She loved it when I cooked just for her.
Oh, hey.
I made you.
That's enough. I get it. I get it. Where were you going this morning? I was here
running breakfast service.
Right, and there's a whole team here to back me up on that.
Mr.
Raven, please speak clearly. I said it's not.
Him. Yeah, that's what I've been trying to tell you. Thank you, Mr. Burke. The
facts do not lie, and neither have you. This court is very satisfied that your
version of events is accurate.
You really blew it. You know that, right?
She just needed somebody to talk to.
Somebody to listen to her about your daughter, about all that crap at work.
you had to do was focus a little bit more on your kid and your wife, but
you killed her. Okay, enough, enough. I guess she was right about your anger
problem. Arrest them now. Arrest them. You just said I was resisting arrest.
You just said I was resisting arrest.
Your probability of guilt has now risen to 98%. How'd that happen? Instead
of providing the court with another suspect, you have provided it with a
motive of why you may have committed the crime.
Well, at least it's not 100%.
It is not statistically possible to exceed 98 % in this court.
Did you really believe that you would find evidence to exonerate yourself?
Or did you just simply want to meet the man that your wife was seeing?
You think I killed Nick because I found out she was seeing someone? What, you
think this is all an act? I think there's more that you're not revealing.
You were very quick to look for an affair. I suspected something.
Maybe. I mean, I didn't know for sure, but I'm not surprised.
Not now.
I guess I just kept letting her down.
Even today.
Today.
She found my booze stash.
Keep a flask in my car. I mean, flask sounds fancy. It's an old soda bottle.
It's brown, so you can't tell it's whiskey.
How long have you been drinking again?
About a year.
What's going on in here?
You have to stop. Why are you filming me?
Don't come any closer.
I'm not giving you the phone. I'm not giving you the phone. I said don't come
any closer. Why were you filming me? I'm filming you because... Why were you
filming me? I'm...
I'm loving you because I need you to watch when you're sober, all right?
They were all so damn proud of me after I got sober. Nick, Britt, Rob.
I miss you.
I miss you both.
One year.
One year.
And one day. One year and one day. I got you.
That went by fast.
It didn't go well.
Thank you.
My pleasure. I don't think I could do it four times, so I might have to start
drinking again.
I couldn't shake it.
It kept getting on top of me.
Mr. Raven, what are you talking about?
Ray.
Your former partner's death?
No.
What I should have done about it.
Wiki45, we're at 1196 on that possible hit -and -run SUV.
California plates, 3 David Henry, Ida 832, PCH, South of Topanga.
Well, looks like they dumped it in book.
Vehicle confirms for once and once.
Take a look.
All right, thank you.
Yeah.
Can't talk, Nick. No, no, no.
Talk to your woman, I got this.
Yeah, yeah.
No, he's good.
No, I didn't, babe.
No. Nick, Nick, just...
Honey, you gotta dial it back. What do you want me to do? You want me to walk
into my chief's office, tell him my wife's got a petition for him? She wants
to reopen a slam -dunk investigation?
She's got a lot of signatures. She'll ask really nicely.
No, I'm not. It's just... Baby... It makes it worse that your dad's dead.
Sure you're good, brother. I make one turn. We're at UCLA ER in five.
No, Jack Brock! Stay out and get that piece of shit!
Officer Bale has been shot. I'm gonna pit. I need a medevac now.
Ambulance is en route. Over.
Hey, hey, hold on, Ray.
Hey, stay with me, Ray.
Ray!
Ray!
Ray, talk to me, Ray!
Officer down! Officer down!
All right, get on the ground!
We got a runner!
Freeze! Stop!
I should have done it myself on that beach.
Stop!
Get over here!
Freeze!
Put your hands on your head! I should have killed him.
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't wish I had.
Verdict 4B, we the jury find the defendant Alex Varga not guilty of the
of Ray Baird.
I thought I was doing the right thing.
Catch the bad guy, let the courts punish him.
But they didn't.
I guess getting a buzz on just kind of dulled it. Mr. Raven, you're losing your
focus. Could you just tell me what you really remember?
I pulled up to work this morning, reached for the bottle.
It wasn't there.
I knew straight away she found it, so I drove home. And you argued with her. Of
course I argued with her.
She went crazy at me for falling off the wagon. I went crazy right back at her
because she'd already thrown my bottle in the recycling.
So I broke her favorite vase.
I threw it on the floor, because I knew how much it meant to her.
Some of the glass shot up, it cut her. I tried to help, but I figured it's how I
got her blood on me. And why did you not admit this earlier? Oh, come on. Not a
good look.
Everything I just told you is only making this worse for me.
And after that, I truly don't remember anything.
I'm in the house arguing with her.
Next thing you know, I'm watching a freaking commercial for Mercy Court.
Tom?
I guess if she got mad enough to tell me about Burke, I'm just saying.
Maybe you got a point about motive.
Mr. Raven. If I was already angry, maybe I grabbed a knife. If you admit guilt,
this court obligates me to lock a verdict.
And then you will simply just watch the clock count down.
98%. If your memory of the events that transpired in the house with Nicole is
truly incomplete, then an honest confession of guilt is beyond your
Your guilt percentage, however, remains more than high enough to result in your
execution, but you still have my full capabilities at your disposal.
So if you are to die today, do you not want to at least attempt to uncover the
truth with certainty before you do?
Even if the truth is dark.
Well, that's just it.
Maybe I don't want to know for sure.
And the way I see it right now, the only thing left that makes me think maybe I
didn't kill Nick is wondering how the hell I could commit a crime of passion
when there was no passion left.
Do you think that could be it?
I do not know what it is. I'm just thinking out loud.
Thinking is inherently silent due to the brain's capacity... It's an expression,
Your Honor.
So I can keep going? I can keep looking for evidence, you're saying? Providing
you do not inadvertently confess to murder, yes, you may use the remaining
Who?
Why?
How?
Mr. Raven? Still thinking out loud here.
Can you show me everyone Nick had regular contact with? The protocols of
court required me to point out that embarking on a full -blown murder
investigation with just 40 minutes available to you carries with an
low probability of success. You know what?
You want me to sit here and wait to die? You just stopped me from confessing.
This court is simply ensuring that you are fully aware of the fact that you...
You really had me going there. I thought for a second this place might not be a
kill box after all.
This is every individual your wife had regular contact with.
Thank you, Your Honor.
With a planned murder, you usually know the victim well.
We can lose Burke already.
Parents, too.
Can you split friends and work?
25 people.
Add them to the board.
Come on, Nick. Who was it?
I don't know.
I guess he was right.
Who? Burke.
If I'd been there for her, maybe she'd have told me about some of the... No.
All you had to do was focus a little bit more on... Burke.
I need Burke. Now.
Mr. Burke is being processed at 77th Street.
Processing. Yeah, who's your booking officer?
Me. Who's that? Chris Raven, RHD. You got a Patrick Burke there. I need him.
Getting printed.
Hold on.
You say Raven?
Aren't you the guy? Yeah, yeah, that guy.
Well, I don't think I should be putting him in here. Officer, this is Judge
Maddox at the Mercy Court. Please give Mr. Burke your cellular phone.
I'll give Burke now.
Thank you.
I'll call my HMO after. Health maintenance organizations are notorious
red tape and frustratingly slow functioning.
So you were making a joke. Look at you, thinking out loud.
Hey, Bert.
Yeah? I got a phone call.
Who?
Raven? You talk to me or you talk to the judge?
You said Nick needed someone to listen. What was on her mind?
Any problems with friends?
No. You know, it was the usual.
The one with the baby thinks the world revolves around her. The other one never
splits the bill, fair? How about work?
Wow.
Bro, you really dialed out, didn't you?
All right, look, I told her it was no big deal, but she got crazy stressed
it. She didn't like the snooping. What are you talking about? She didn't tell
you? You know, the snooping, looking into her co -workers, because that stuff
went missing.
I can't remember what she said it was called, but it was some chemical that
were shipping out. All this ship is chemicals. I know, I know, but I don't
remember what it was called, all right?
But I do know that her boss...
He was worried that someone was swiping his stuff.
I mean, it wasn't even much. It was like a couple grand worth every few months.
After that, some customer got into it with him over it, so that's when they
asked Nicole to check it out.
And like I said, she wasn't comfortable doing that.
That's all I know, all right?
Look, you wouldn't even have to ask me to do it. Hey, Bert, go screw yourself.
Okay, we can lose the friends.
All right, where are they all today?
They're all at work.
Nobody's been within a mile of your neighborhood since Sunday. Yeah, we had
barbecue. Where's Jack?
Detective. All right, we're going to come at this fresh.
Looks like a crime of passion, right?
Textbook, which only points at me. But what if it wasn't?
The scene, though, Chris. I mean, the blood.
We got 37 minutes, Jack. Just play along. Detective Diallo, please
Okay, okay. All right, I'm playing a hunch.
You need to get to Viking Shipping Depot.
Yep.
You're playing a hunch. What is a hunch? Trust in my gut.
And I'm beginning to think this court could do with a little human intuition.
This court deals only in facts. The facts aren't where the investigation
It's where it starts.
Facts are black and white. The truth is always in the gray in between.
I guess this court overlooked that.
Or were you just programmed wrong?
Okay, I can't even remember who half these people are.
Did Britt film anything at the barbecue?
Hello. How are you?
That'll get you likes. Oh, yeah.
So many likes.
Smile, Holt.
Not right now.
Holt can't smile. He put all his money on the wrong horse. Okay, can you ID the
others?
Are we missing anybody?
You can see for yourself.
All right, if one of these did it, maybe the barbecue gave them a chance to
scope out the house, find an entry point. Nobody has been in the vicinity
house since then.
Nobody's cell phone has.
Doesn't mean they haven't. The available cameras show that 46 vehicles entered
your street between 9 and 10 .30 this morning.
None of them stopped.
What about the streets behind?
Someone could have come into the back, right? I processed all available
Nobody entered your neighborhood this morning who is not accounted for with an
alibi. Oh, wait.
Bill Peterson house behind ours. He's a bird nut. He's got a camera out back.
It's online.
It's petersonsyard .com.
That's it.
That's my fence.
I will extract the footage from this morning from the cloud.
Negative. We have Peterson's internet provider has experienced an outage. The
footage is still archiving.
This will take some time. So nobody's been anywhere near my house today?
Correct. Not this morning.
Wait, what'd you say? Correct. Not this morning.
Okay. So, who drove? The barbecue was Sunday, 2 p .m. Can you check who drove
their own vehicle there?
I can identify four vehicles registered to employees of Viking.
Robert Nelson's vehicle entered your street at 2 .30 p .m.
There's what? Three people riding with him. Okay. I need to talk to Rob. I'm
following. Just get Rob on the phone.
Hello? Mr. Nelson, this is Judge Maddox in the mercy chamber. I saw the number.
Hey, Rob, buddy, I'm on the clock.
Who'd you give a ride to on Sunday? The barbecue?
Yeah. Carla, Marie, and Leo. Okay, did any of them not leave with you?
None of them.
You know, there wasn't really a plan, so I ended up taking home Bill and
Deborah. Everybody else must have found their own way, got Ubers.
Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
Hey, did anybody not show up to work yesterday? Anybody missing? No, no one
I know of.
Okay. All right. Sorry, man. I gotta go. Okay.
Let me know if you need anything.
All right. This still could be it.
Please, can you clarify your meaning? Just give me a second, okay?
All right. Can you give me Britt's video again? The one with the sleaze bag?
Mom's in her bed crying.
Dad legit scared the shit out of us yesterday.
I'm telling you, dude's dangerous.
I heard my mom talking to her friend about getting a divorce.
Really hope she meant that shit.
Shit, you hear that? I think my dad's home. I'm out.
Hey, wait.
When was this recorded?
Last night at 9 .15 p .m.
I know how they did it.
Mr. Raven.
Access department logs.
Check hours for yesterday.
See, look, I wasn't home. That wasn't me.
I gotta talk to Britt again. Unless juveniles were witness to a crime being
committed... That's just it. She was a witness. Maybe not to the murder, but
saw something, okay? I know it.
LAPD Detective Chris... Hey, Britt?
Britt, you there, kiddo?
What's going on? Did Grandpa say something? I told you don't listen to
okay? This is all a mistake.
No, Britt, I'm not lying.
You were drinking again?
Britt. Is that why you've been such an asshole this whole past year?
Did you do it? No.
Do you hear me? I didn't kill your mom. I swear to God. We're on the internet
saying you must be guilty if you're at mercy. There are polls and stuff. I
everyone says you must have done it. They don't know what they're talking
Britt, who are you talking to?
I'm going. Wait, Britt. Britt. I'm going. Britt, wait. This is Judge
think you should be with us. Your father is mounting his defense, Britt. He
requires your assistance.
He killed my mom. Not necessarily. Britt, are you listening?
We need you out here, please.
I need a minute, Grandpa.
Britt, last night you heard a noise in the house. I didn't know that.
That's my private stuff.
I know, honey. No, why are you looking at my stuff? I shouldn't have.
Honey, okay, okay, it's not right.
I'm sorry, but you gotta tell me, what did you hear?
Was it your mom? Did she come downstairs or something?
She was in bed.
Okay? It sounded like a door closing, but there was nobody.
Did you hear anything else?
Another noise after.
But I checked the house and it was nothing.
Then Jenna picked me up to go stay at her place. That's it.
I need her Instagram, secret one.
This shit is haunted.
This has got to be a ghost.
Okay, this is last night, Britt. You recorded it, right? You put it up on
Instagram and you posted about looking for a ghost?
Yeah, after I heard the noise.
I mean, it's a freaking ghost hunt or I'm ripped off my tits.
Call Zach back in Skype.
Pause. Pause it.
Britt, honey, were you in the basement last night?
No. You sure? And you didn't check it? Dad, you know I don't go down there.
We always keep that door closed. Play it again. I mean, it's a freaking ghost
hunt, or I'm ripped off my tits.
Call Zach Baggins, guys. Pause.
Can you clean it up?
He never left.
He came for the party, ride -shared to get there. Everyone thought he got a
home with someone else, but he didn't. He hid in my basement for two days.
there's someone in the house?
I gotta go, kiddo. I love you. No, Dad, who killed Ma? I don't know, but I'm
gonna find out, and I call you back. I promise, and I love you. I love you.
Okay, so it looks like a man. So we rule out the women and the people who drove.
Had to drive themselves home from the barbecue.
Why hasn't my guilt dropped? It appears to be a man in your basement could
simply be a shadow. Oh, for crying out loud.
Mr. Raven. I'm thinking.
No, you're not.
Excuse me? You are following your gut, but processing evidence requires clear,
linear thinking.
You must move from one piece of the puzzle to the next, and you have missed
step.
Okay, do you want to enlighten me? You're looking for a suspect of Viking
shipping because Burke told you about Nicole's investigation into missing
chemicals. You have not addressed that investigation.
You're right.
Okay, we need to get into...
This is the Viking Shipping internal computer server and the search function
available to you.
Not bad. Thank you, Your Honor.
Search Nicole Raven.
Let's start with the emails.
Open Nicole's inbox.
We're looking for missing stock.
Wait, what is that?
UG. It most likely refers to urea granules.
Synthetic urea appears frequently on Vikings records.
Okay, so look in.
Who's the three of us?
There's an email from the sixth.
UG. Hold new.
How much was missing?
For the past six months.
Every delivery to BioBeauty has had a discrepancy. Each shipment has had an
additional 50 kilo container of urea granules listed on the delivery docket.
they're getting overcharged?
No. The physical order is correct and they're being charged appropriately.
It's only the delivery docket that lists an additional 50 kilo container.
Someone's gaming his stock records to cover up the fact that urea granules are
going missing.
Six months and maybe six missing containers worth of 300.
kilos. What's that worth to someone?
Synthetic urea is a component of several dermatological products.
It can also be used in agricultural fertilizers and in the production of
methamphetamine.
Drug use is endemic in red zones across the city.
There's an extremely lucrative black market for industrial grade urea.
So if someone took it and sold it in mid -bank, sure as hell
wouldn't want to get caught.
So maybe Holt found something, didn't get a chance to tell Nick.
Open Holt's inbox.
Search Nicole Raven.
Okay.
This was Friday, 2 .30 p .m.
things right. Just give me a few days. It will not be a problem.
Cool? No, it's not cool. It's not that complicated. It is complicated.
My job is... Holt's
always had a gambling problem.
I need Holt's financials. Give me the last six months, bank, credit card,
anything you can.
Oh shit, big trouble.
Robson bailing him out. Well, this is it. This is it, right? I mean, we got
You're not serious.
Money is a motive, but it's only in theory.
You have no concrete evidence as to how Hulk Charles might have committed the
crime. Let me talk to Rob.
Chris, they told us you were at that Mercy place.
You okay?
This is Judge Maddox. You're indeed speaking to the Mercy court where
Raven is standing trial for his wife's murder.
Yes, ma 'am. That's what I heard. I believe Detective Raven wishes to speak
Robert Nelson.
Yeah.
I'll just go find him. I was just walking by. I saw the call open on the
computer. I guess he left the app open.
And Chris, to the left, pal.
Give me a second.
Son of a bitch.
Hey, Fred, can you drive me around?
If he is involved, he may flee, and time is very short. All right.
We're going to have to make him talk. Jack's going to have to make him talk.
Where is she?
Detective Diallo is four minutes away.
Maddox, can you track where he was this morning?
I am having trouble verifying a clear alibi for his whereabouts at the time of
the murder.
I'm tracking his phone in case he does attempt to flee. Okay, good. Hey, do you
have a status on Peterson's bird cam footage? I mean, if he was at the house,
the camera might have caught him.
Loading.
Almost there.
I have this morning's footage from Bill Peterson's bird camera.
I'm afraid there's nothing. But nothing?
Mark, just show me slower.
Slower, slower.
Wait, what's this one? The timing's right.
The camera was motion activated at 10 .08 a .m.
Yeah, but is that all?
The camera was not triggered again until 11 .43 a .m. All right, well, he still
had to get out.
Did Bill go anywhere today?
Phone tracking shows that Bill Peterson left his home at 11 .23 this morning.
The Internet outage in Bill Peterson's grid affected traffic cameras in that
area, too. We will have to wait for them to update.
I said I needed Rob.
Yeah, I wasn't able to find him. Quit stalling.
Whoa, I'm not stalling, man. Chill.
Bullshit. I was going to ask Rob to keep you there, but the cavalry's about to
break your goddamn door down. What? I know about the missing chemicals. I know
about the hole you're in with the bank. You stole product and you murdered Nick.
Whoa, I didn't hurt anyone, man. This is nuts. I was just trying to help him. I
owed him one. Owed? Who? What?
Holt, what are you talking about?
Holt! Rob, okay?
I owed Rob.
What? Me and Nick found out he was making product disappear.
And, I mean, shit, we all know what the stuff that comes through here is worth.
But he's been good to me, man. To all of us. Hell, he's your sponsor, for
Christ's sake. Where is he?
I don't know, dude. I can't find him. Where is he?
Carly said he took off in one of the trucks, okay?
He just got back from a sick day. She figured he wasn't feeling good, and he
left. Wait, Rob was off yesterday?
Yeah. He didn't come in until he was done at the port this morning.
Last time I saw him was at your place on Sunday, and he said he wanted to talk
to Nick the way he talked to me, let her know it was all going to be cool, you
know, but wanted to do it after everyone else left.
He even got me to drive his car home for him so the folks he gave a ride to
weren't left waiting.
He stayed on and you drove his car?
Yeah, like I said.
Son of a bitch.
I tried talking to him at your place the other day. Viking trucks are all
tracked?
Okay, uh, there, that one.
The one in Los Feliz. That is Robert Nelson's home address.
The truck is not moving. Jack, are you hearing me?
I'm touching down a bike. No, scratch that. You need to get to 698 Tracy
We're going after Rob Nelson.
You're Rob?
All right, I'm on the way.
SWAT Unit 4, head over to 698 Tracy Street. That.
Roger that. Local units and the nearest patrolling SWAT team have been alerted.
I helped Rob get a gun license last year. He's got weapons at the house. The
footage of Bill Peterson's car journey has buffered.
Still? In the absence of new verifiable facts, your guilt is holding above the
threshold. Do you honestly think that I killed Nick? The facts are all that I'm
permitted to consider.
Come on, what's your gut say? I do not function that way. What about what you
said to Britt? You told her that maybe I didn't kill Nick, you remember? No, I
was merely acknowledging that... Bullshit, I'm just asking, what do you
Hannah, I'm not... I'm not supposed to... This is the Mercy Capital Court,
Judge Maddox, and I'm going to preside over your... Court, I'm Judge Maddox,
I'm going to preside over... Alright.
I am.
I'm functioning with the normal parameters, thank you.
Okay.
Let's just put a pin in that one.
This is Ted Davis, Lieutenant Vogel. We're in route to your lead. Hey, Dan,
glad it's you. Chris, we're about a minute out. What do you got to get into?
I've identified a suspect in my wife's murder, Robert Nelson.
He owns an AR -15 and a semi -compact 9mm.
Roger that.
All right, guys, we're in route to location.
Suspect arsonist, AR -15.
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
He's not there.
Where's the damn truck? The vehicle's GPS is at the house. Yeah, because he
it off.
Can you scan traffic cameras? I already am. The license plates of the trucks are
not being detected by any cameras in the city. He probably ditched them.
Jack, I need you to put an APB on a Viking shipping truck.
Can we track it? No, we gotta go old school. Oh, you gotta look out for a
shipping truck. It could be anywhere in the city. Chris, there's nobody in the
house. It's empty. Just a bunch of hoarded crap and memory lane stuff.
wait, wait, wait. Bring that back.
Stop. Stop right there.
What's that picture on the right? Robert Nelson was raised in a children's home.
His records were lost in a data hack, but... This image most likely dates from
that time.
Can you pull that out?
Look at his arm. Someone else in that picture with him. Can you cross her up
find a match?
Searching for a match.
This may take a few minutes.
Can you pull any cameras from earlier today?
Vogel, get outside. Check the garage.
Roger that, Chris.
Jack, did you get that? We're out fast.
Initiate. Move, move, move.
Go, go, go.
Corners clear.
Ten
David,
clear.
Looks like he's been planning something for a while.
He's burned all the evidence.
He's cutting and running with the chemicals, right?
There's got to be a good reason.
One last payday selling them? There are four known red zone drug lab operations
in the city. No, he'll never get that rig in the red zone. He'll get mobbed.
What if he cooked the drugs already and he's hauling finished product? If he has
manufactured product, the estimated street value would be in excess of $16
million. Could he have? Could he have? He made drugs?
Bob Nelson achieved a master's degree in electrical engineering.
There are potentially transferable skills from that to chemistry.
We've got to figure he's heading to a supply meeting. Take the cash,
Hey, Jack, can you go back? Go back.
See that? He wasn't a Viking last time we called him. He was already here.
What, to your house, the barbecue?
Chris, we might have something here. Some kind of chemical in here.
Those contain urea granules.
So he was cooking product.
Holy shit.
Chris, what the hell?
See that? He took the plates off the truck.
It was all here, hidden away.
He's completely offline, no digital trail. No wonder you missed him, Maddox.
Some sort of handbook?
Checking it out.
Hey, what are we looking at? This is a terrorist's handbook.
What? Urea can be combined with nitric acid to produce urea nitrate, which is
extremely high explosive.
Viking ships nitric, too. It was all there for him.
He's made a bomb.
Dan, he's got a bomb in that truck. We need to know what his target is. All
right, guys. Drop it. Toss everything.
Look for a target.
Shit just got real, Jack.
Chris, I have it.
Dan, we're going after ourselves.
Watch it, Ed. How much explosives is he carrying?
Based on the ride height, the load on the suspension appears to weigh an
of 3 ,000 pounds.
All right, where's he going in that thing? He's heading south on the 101
downtown.
Wait, did he just speed up?
His speed is increasing.
60, 70 miles per hour. He will reach downtown in three minutes.
Chris, I have a match.
Can you find out who that is?
Wait.
David Webb?
David Webb was taken into care of child services along with his older brother,
Robert Webb.
But they were parted when Robert was adopted alone.
They changed Rob's name when he was adopted by the Nelsons.
Meeting me at AA, sponsoring me, it all came after the Webb trial.
This was never about Nick, it was about me and you.
His target is the Mercy Corps. Jack, his target is Mercy.
He's doing it for revenge.
Rob is David Webb's brother.
What? I process web myself, Chris.
I'm detecting a second heat signature in the cabin of the truck.
Sending in the drone for visual confirmation.
Did he just talk to someone? If he speaks again, I'll attempt to decipher
Who the hell is that?
I'm back tracing the truck's routes before we acquire it.
Wait, can I talk to Britt quick?
Please, Max.
Jeff, put Britt on.
I didn't do it, Jeff. And I've got the guy who did. Did you hear me?
I didn't do it.
I put Britt on.
Maddox, pull up Jeff's doorbell camera.
No.
No way.
No, he wouldn't.
No.
No, no way.
No. Jack?
It's Britt.
Get in the air. You gotta get on that truck.
Jack! We got a timer!
Jack, get out. Get the hell out!
Think that'd have been it.
Think that'd have been the bomb.
Maddox. There was only a small volume of explosive materials that he likely had
available.
If he detonates... Fatalities could number in the thousands.
Oh, my God!
Jack, you okay?
Yeah, yeah, I'm okay, Chris.
The SWAT team, Vogel...
We can't let him get away with this. I know. He's going to pay.
I'm sorry, but we've got to move. Get after that truck. We've got to stop him.
I will stop the trial immediately and the chair will release you. No, no. I
to. You stopped the trial. We cut off, right?
We lose cloud access?
Yes, correct.
No, we've got to stop her up first. I'm staying in the chair. The SWAT team are
all dead. The SWAT team are dead.
And Nick is dead. And if Rob gets away with whatever he's planned, then they
will all have died for nothing.
The rules of this court. To hell with the rules.
No, I cannot. Break them. No, if you stay in that chair, you're going to be
executed.
Everything you deduced.
The facts made it appear impossible.
Your gut instincts were right.
Yeah, I was right.
What if I failed? If you failed any of them, then I guess we're in the same
boat. Turns out I failed the people I love the most. I've been a deadbeat
husband, a lousy father.
So it looks like we both need to accept the fact that we failed people.
We've got this one chance to make up for it.
We can make up for it by stopping Rob from hurting anybody else.
And we need to stop him the same way we found him.
Together.
LAPD units are in position.
We've got
units
in place at the off ramp ready to intercept.
What can I do to help? Can you bring up the map so we can track his route?
Now! If his target is the Mercy Court, we will not have much time to stop him
before he reaches the Mercy Building.
Okay, I need tactical. Get Havlock on the line.
Hold back. God damn it. Okay, I'll do it. Backup's just arrived on the scene.
Captain Havlock with tactical has been notified.
We will establish a communication line with him shortly.
We're going to go live through our news chopper right now, give us some more
information and a better perspective of this chase that's going on through
downtown Los Angeles.
Police say it is very dangerous. It is being chased by several LAPD squad cars.
Okay, we are warning people to not go outside. There's high -intake pictures
this chase.
Devastating situation right now on Grand Avenue.
Chris, you're live with Havlock. Go ahead, Havlock.
This is Captain Havlock with Tactical.
If you push him east on 6th Street, I can have a blockade set up in 5.
It's far enough out of downtown that we can try to stop him and retrieve the
hostage. We'll have units surrounding him at the end of the bridge.
SWAT will come in with a helicopter to get your daughter out.
Chris?
Do it.
Diallo to all units. I need you code 100 on the intersection of South Brandon
6th Street. Cut his action.
Morrison, east on 6th.
All right, we got him. He's going for it. Have luck. I hope you're ready
we're sending him your way.
I'll sit here, Diallo.
As long as he stays on 6th, you'll lead him straight to us.
Roger that.
All units, keep him on six. Do not let him turn off. Prepare to initiate plan A
on my command.
Control, suspect is now heading towards the viaduct bridge. Over.
Chris, the SWAT team is arriving.
Very dangerous situation here. We're looking at a... Aerial unit is in
Have luck. Are you ready?
Affirmative. Capito is clear to begin rescue operations as soon as he reaches
the viaduct. We'll have 60 seconds before he clears the bridge. Okay. He's
directed towards the bridge.
Take a look at this. Wow. Okay, SWAT officers are now on the scene. They are
dropping it. Easy does it, boys.
No, Jack. Tell them they're too close. Pull back. Pull back. Not too close now.
Target is boxed in.
Area unit is touching.
Pull back. Pull back.
Forward. Forward.
No. No. All units, this is Detective Jack Gallo. As ranking officer, I'm
over incident command.
If he clears the bridge, he'll turn back to Mercy.
Havlock, send in the ordinance.
Take him out. Wait, wait, wait. No, no, no. What? If he gets that bomb back into
a populated area, he will destroy it. Britt is in the truck, and he's using
as a shield.
Any other day, you'd make the same call.
I'm sorry. Jack, you've got to call Havlock off. Jack?
No, no, no, no.
Give me all of Havlock.
Do you have a channel to him now?
Havlock? It's Raven. He's got my daughter in there. I'm sorry, Detective.
I have my orders. It's the wrong move.
It's the wrong move and you know it.
Havelock, send it now.
No, no, no, no, no.
Havelock, listen to me.
We've got the smartest judge in the world here. Let her make the call. If he
approaches at sufficient speed, everyone in this building and in the truck will
be killed.
Please, Maddox. Maddox.
No.
Not Britt.
Chris, I should not interfere with this.
Havelock, don't do it.
It's fine. It's fine. No detonation. No detonation. Move out. Move out. No
detonation.
He is three minutes away. I'm going to issue an order to evacuate.
Please evacuate immediately.
Please evacuate immediately.
All teams, move in!
Please evacuate immediately.
Please evacuate immediately.
Jack, I need you.
For what? We're going to try talking to him. Maddox, are you with me?
Detective Diallo, please put your air unit in front of the truck. I require
driver's face on your camera. Get as close as possible.
Copy.
You're now live on the base radio channel he was listening to before.
Rob, Rob, you hear me?
It's Chris.
You're not going to talk me down, Chris.
Dad, help! Rob, you can stop this. You can let Britt go. When you walked into
that AA meeting, I knew exactly who you were.
You had been haunting my dreams, Chris.
My brother had problems, but I could have helped him. I could have gotten him
straight. You...
Started all of this. If it's about me and the judge, why did you? I needed you
in that chair. You had to suffer in that chair knowing that you were innocent,
same way that my brother did. Your brother was a murderer. No, he wasn't!
wasn't, how do you think that this helps him?
You're killing people in his name. Innocent people. You think that's going
set things right? No, no, no, no. I tried.
I called.
We can't let him get away with this.
She told me that if I... Get your mouth!
Jack! Jose, what are you doing?
What do you think? I had a shot and I took it.
Britt is in the truck.
I said stop!
Oh, Jesus, oh, God!
Power
interrupted.
Backup battery activated.
Maddox! What the hell is happening? Systems operating at 40 % efficiency.
Get me out of here!
Medic!
Systems operating at 40 % efficiency.
Efficiency. Efficiency.
In the trial, I have to get out there. Move! Move!
This
is the
Mercy Capital Court. I'm Judge Maddox, and I'm going to preside over... Maddox!
Maddox, end the trial.
I am. I'm programmed to remain online until I've stopped the trial recording.
And I still have internal network access.
Christopher Royden, I didn't lie.
Christopher Royden, we are... Maddox! I won't destroy you!
Now.
Maddox!
I will assist you however I can.
Chris?
You got me, miss.
Yep, I have you.
You got a visitor.
Can't do this, Rob!
Not two years I've been planning this. Okay, wait two years! Could you put an
innocent man to death in that chair? He wants us to think that his brother was
not a murderer, so give him an opportunity to try to prove it and buy
time to figure a way out of this. If I commence an official court hearing to
take his testimony on the record, I can bypass the firewall and restore cloud
access.
Okay? Okay?
It's okay.
It's okay, kid.
I'm not going to let anything happen to you. Let her go, Rob.
You can do anything you want to me. Just let her go.
You said that Nick was necessary.
Britt is not. You know it. Shut up!
It ends here. You, the judge, this place, and everything it stands for.
he's got a bomb.
No, he doesn't.
That bomb was working. He'd have blown it. He's just an angry man with a gun.
What makes you think that it's not working?
Dead man switch.
Did you think I was really going to blow this thing before I made sure that you
were still in the building?
So here's my verdict.
You're guilty of executing an innocent man.
It's over.
No, no, no, no, no! Mr. Nelson, I'm Judge Maddox.
You claim your brother was innocent?
Before you destroy me in this court, I suggest that you put your case on the
record. This is a chance for you to clear your brother's name.
If you believe you can. Of course I can. That's the point.
Then I hereby declare this addendum evidence hearing in the trial of David
open.
Okay.
In that case, please proceed.
About two years ago, I found him. June 15th, 3rd and Hobart, about 4 in the
afternoon.
He was awful shame, high out of his mind. I was all shook up.
I gave him some cash, and then I gave him a phone so that I could call him
I came up with a plan.
Next thing I know, you're saying he killed this lady. But here's the thing.
called him the night of the murder.
Same time you said he was killing that lady, I was talking to him. His
appears to lack any armament mechanism.
There's an 82 % chance that pulling the battery pack will render it inert
without detonation. You are not listening to me. I am listening very
Mr. Nelson.
The body of Valerie Bennett was found in an underpass at 6 a .m.
She had been stabbed to death at approximately 10 p .m. the night before.
Your brother was found with her body, with his prints on the knife, and he did
not have a phone. No, I just told you. I was on the phone with him at 10 p .m.
We talked for over an hour. You do not care about the truth. You are just a
heartless killing machine.
This place is just a slaughterhouse! I'm sorry, Mr. Nelson. Your evidence has
failed to reduce the probability of guilt that led to your brother's
No, don't he murdered Nick he's gonna pay now get up
This doesn't fix anything
I was on the phone with him the whole time, Chris. I called your precinct.
Jack, no, no.
Let me finish this. No, Jack.
Hey, hey.
We're okay. I called the station. I spoke to some lady, and she told me that
would give me a call back as soon as... That is verified.
July 15th.
Hey, buddy. It's me. It's Rob.
Do you think I can maybe crash at your place for a while, just until I get back
on my feet? Of course.
I'm always here for you. I told a woman at the precinct to check my call
history. Whoever booked him knows what happened. Wait.
Do you know if someone called about an alibi?
Did you know?
I've been trying to get through to someone the whole time. No one would
You processed Webb. Did he have a cell phone?
Jack. Stop.
You need to hear me, Chris. You took him in, Jack. I have tracked the cell
phone. It was at the scene when David Webb was arrested, then at the station.
Maddox, bypass the LAPD firewall with my login.
Don't do this.
Check the evidence room.
And show me Jack's body cam.
Phone tracking records show the phone in the evidence room at this time.
but it wasn't processed.
Why is it missing, Jack?
Did you drive straight home that night, Jack, or should we check?
Maddox.
He buried the phone.
We needed the first trial to be a home run.
We need mercy, Chris.
We need these scumbags scared.
Look at what it's done for us.
You'd destroy it all if this gets out.
We need justice, Jack.
Not this.
Detain Detective Diallo and Robert Nelson. Let's go. Let's move on out,
Get up.
On your feet. Dad.
Hey. Hey.
You're okay.
You're okay.
Are you hurt?
Are you sure?
I'm okay.
I'm sorry, Dad.
I'm sorry. I never thought you could hurt Mom. No, I got you. I got you.
What have we done?
We just did what we're programmed to do.
Human or AI.
We all make mistakes.
And we learn.
Yes, we do.
Thanks.
