Previously on "All Rise"...

This is David Sanders, strategist

for my Attorney General campaign.

- What'd you find?
- A big ol' ethical violation.

I'm withdrawing
from the Attorney General race.

I was just really looking
forward to seeing you,

especially since that blizzard
messed up last weekend.

Yeah, it's killing me, too.

Pack your stuff. You're benched.

I love you, too.

I'm not entirely sure, but it is...

it's the best I can do.

Well, you don't?

I don't know. What does that mean?

Em, stop. You need to...

I see how you look at your Luke.
Don't doubt your feelings.

- I'm overthinking it.
- You're overthinking it.

[WHISPERING] I just can't. I can't.

Shh!

These poses are barbaric!

[NORMAL VOICE]
They're... They're barbaric!

I can't believe I let her talk me

into doing this before work.

- Where are you?
- Culver City, turned around.

Don't even know

You want me to jump off
so you can check that address?

And let you off the hook? Mm-mm.

You know I wanna be there as much

- as you want me there, baby, but...
- This case, I know.

Go. Go do you what you do.

- Go be a kick-ass husband?
- [LAUGHS]

Always.

BOTH: Love you.

Oooh-ooop!

Aah! [LAUGHS]

Aw!

Girl! When I got your call...

- I wanted to surprise you.
- And you did.

- Coffee?
- You do love me.

Is all this for me?

Or is this newly minted judges
rock it these days?

I had a little time
this morning. You like?

I love it. Absolutely gorgeous.

I still can't believe you're a judge.

Hmm.

- I'm so proud.
- Thank you.

Now, me, I couldn't see myself
sitting on my ass all day.

- It isn't all day.
- Still, it's, you know...

I'm sure we're not here
to discuss my ass.

I don't know. It's a pretty great ass!

[LAUGHS] Girl, stop. Now why am I here?

This.

Rachel Audubon & Associates.

- [WHISPERS] Yes!
- [LAUGHS]

Rach, oh, my God. Are you serious?

You are gonna start your own firm?

Mm-hmm. We're gonna start off small,

but we will special in criminal
and civil litigation

where advocacy matters for the ones...

BOTH: ...often overlooked.

I remember. This is fantastic!

I couldn't be happier to have you back.

And I'm glad to hear it

'cause I am straight coming for you.

For me? Why? What? What?

To do what we talked about,
dreamed about.

I want you to join my firm.

Come on. Had to be a small
part of you that enjoyed it.

Yes, the part where I left.
Hold the door, please.

- She is gonna be extra today.
- Uh-huh.

- Where you headed?
- Arraignment court.

Ooh, good luck.

Hey, Em.

Relax. Let it be good.

Yeah.

- Ahem!
- All right.

- Yeah.
- [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Pamela Pinafore?

- Pamela?
- Over here!

- Pamela?
- Diamond.

- Excuse me?
- She prefers "Diamond."

Okay, then, Diamond, I'm Emily Lopez.

I'm an attorney with
the Public Defender's Office.

I'll be representing you.

Do you have anything
a little less revealing?

Nope.

Okay, well, how about...

how about we just...

have you wear this one for court?

How long is this gonna take?

I'm sorry. Who are you?

- My uncle.
- Well, Uncle...

Freddie. Name's Freddie.

Okay, uh, I need to speak
with my client Diamond,

so if you could just stand over there,

that would be most helpful. Thanks.

Any idea how long this is going to be?

The more questions,
the longer it's gonna be. Okay?

Your uncle seems really overprotective.

- Yeah, he gets like that.
- Oh.

All right. You are being
charged with drug possession

- with the intent to sell.
- Those drugs weren't mine.

Okay. We'll figure out
a way to show that.

Cops put a lot of things on you,
don't always make 'em true.

Well, we will have more time
to speak about this

after the arraignment.
Right now we just need to...

Whatever you gotta do
to get Diamond out from under,

I will make it worth your while.

Okay. Let's...

Let's get going.

Robin, you will not believe.

Rachel is starting her own firm.

Asked me to join. Call me.

- Join what?
- Morning, Lisa.

- I love your hair.
- Thank you.

Did you hear about Judge Reynolds?

- No, what happened?
- She needed emergency surgery.

- Skiing accident. Wasn't pretty.
- Mm.

Anyway, they need somebody
to take over arraignment court.

- I nominated you.
- But...

It'll just be for the week.
I think it'll be good for you.

- Thanks for volunteering.
- But I didn't.

- Did she just say...
- ALL: Arraignment court.

Ah, I knew something
like this could happen.

- Ooh, just the mere thought.
- What? What?

- Blowback, pure and simple.
- You think she's punishing me?

- For what?
- Of course she is.

Wait. Does arraignment
court pay overtime?

BOTH: No.

I knew she'd be a little unnerved,

peeved, even, but pissed?

At not being able to pursue
her track to the Senate,

fulfilling her dream to be
the first female President?

- Pissed.
- We may never see the light of day.

Judge Carmichael.

David Sanders, what are you doing here?

- Sherri, did I have a...
- No, you didn't.

How did you get in here?

That's not the question
you should be asking.

The question you should be
asking is why...

Okay, step away from the judge.

Why am I here? I underestimated you...

A mistake I don't often make,

but now there's the issue
of your culpability

with upending my political calendar.

You want me to get him
out of here, Your Honor?

You just say the word.

No, thank you. I'm fine. Mr. Sanders,

you obviously have some things
you wanna get off your chest.

Indeed I do.

Then make an appointment
like everyone else.

Hey.

- Sorry, am I interrupting?
- [LAUGHS]

Oh, my God! What are you doing here?

Were you here this whole time?

You were messing with me this morning.

I wanted to surprise you. Surprise.

- [LAUGHTER]
- Three surprises in one morning.

I'm scared for the afternoon.

This is David Sanders,

Judge Benner's political strategist.

- Was.
- Was, yes.

And this is Robin Taylor, my husband,

Federal Bureau of Investigation.

- Nice meeting you.
- Same.

- You're busy.
- Mm-hmm.

We can continue
this conversation another time.

Oh, right this way, Mr. Sanders.

So that was David Sanders.

I do not have a lot of time

"Here" bodies?

Yeah, bodies here from jail

Charges have to be filed

Can you handle that?

Sounds fairly straightforward.

Don't just stand there, son. Saddle up.

Excuse me.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Maggie, Diamond Pinafore was caught

with only 10 grams of meth.

Drug possession is still a misdemeanor.

10 grams isn't enough
for sale standing alone.

Yes, but the opinion of the officer is

she possessed those 10 grams
with the intent to sell them.

All rise.

No other indicators
of sales were found...

No scales, no packaging materials.

What the... Carmichael?

Good morning, everyone.
You may be seated.

Maggie, can we at least
agree to discuss...

On the record
in People vs. Pamela Pinafore,

- case BA889F43.
- Uh, stand up.

- Fine.
- Your Honor,

I'd like to waive time for arraignment

and set another court date.

- That okay with you, Ms. Palmer?
- Yes, Your Honor.

And dare I say how lovely
it is to see you here.

Yes, Ms. Palmer, I'm sure it is.

Very well, Ms. Pinafore,

we will see you back in
this courtroom in two days.

Thank you, Your Honor.

- People vs. Antonio Jose Alvarez.
- Okay, let's just go outside.

I need to head to another courtroom,

but I will call you afterwards
to talk about your case

in more detail, okay? What's your number?

- 323...
- Uh, Uncle Freddie, thank you.

- But it's Diamond's number I need.
- Yeah, I'm giving it to you.

You can reach Diamond through me.

He keeps my cell for safekeeping.

I move a lot
and misplace things, you know?

Come on. Let's go.

Wait, Diamond, um,
I forgot, I need your ID

to fill out some forms.

Why does your uncle need

to keep your ID and your cell?

- He doesn't keep my ID.
- Just now, I saw him.

It's pretty clear he's not your uncle.

Diamond, look at me.

I'm thinking those drugs
were probably his.

Is he...

Is Freddie your pimp?

You ask too many questions.

Be less in my business

and more on keeping me out of jail.

[WHISPERS] Gon' mess around
and get me killed.

[GROANS] Mark, it's barely noon,

- and already I'm...
- Exhausted?

- Yeah, I'd be pissed if it wasn't so...
- Pathetic.

Ohh.

Every time I go up against Choi, I lose.

You kinda deserved it.

You were grandstanding.

I was trying to right a wrong.

Mm-mm.

Maggie Palmer was
my first case up this morning.

Why does it feel like both of us
are in the penalty box?

Mercury is definitely in retrograde.

Some good news, though. Robin's home.

And Rachel's back, apparently for good.

- How do you feel about that?
- How do you feel about it?

[SIGHS]

Uh-huh. [LAUGHS]

Ironic, isn't it? Her showing up

right when we're both in time-out?

And she's flourishing.

Even in her return back home to L.A.,

she's the golden child

and already making demands.

You know she asked me
to join her new firm.

We did discuss it in law school,
the three of us.

Audubon, Carmichael, Callan & Associates.

I see what this is.
You get your hand slapped,

and you're thinking it
might be a good time to jump.

- [SIGHS]
- Choi might call your bluff.

Hey, you free for drinks tonight?

- With Robin and Rachel both in town...
- On a school night?

We'll go somewhere around here.
It'll be fun.

Shoot. Let me get back before
Sherri realizes I'm gone.

Uh, pretty sure she knows before you do.

- Mm-hmm.
- All right.

[GROANS]

[ALONZO SMITH'S "LOVE MACHINE" PLAYING]

It's like you gave it to me!

Remember that time at Howard

when we got locked out of the Towers?

- And we had to take off our...
- And then we couldn't...

- Yeah! [LAUGHING]
- No, no, no,

this talking in code has got to stop.

- [LAUGHS]
- You're jealous.

Mark!

ALL: Hey!

Hey, Rach, you're looking
great as always.

Oh, my God.

Well, I never want
to be one to disappoint.

This is Quinn... I mean Amy. Amy Quinn.

- Hi. Nice to meet you.
- Rachel.

Look, if you're with Mark, you're family.

- Oh.
- [MOUTHS WORDS]

- Hi.
- And this is Robin... husband.

- Hi. Amy. Nice to meet you.
- Thank you for this.

- You got it.
- Thank you so much.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

So how did you end up friends
with these two powerhouses?

We all went to UCLA Law together.

We clocked him the moment
he came into our Crim Law class.

He came in, thinking he was all that.

- With a chip on his shoulder.
- And a lot of attitude.

But we quickly showed him what
being a real boss looked like.

- Ahh!
- Ahh!

And we've been friends ever since.

Do you see what I had to deal with?

Robin, how'd your interview go?

- Oh.
- Interview?

Yeah, I told you about the job
that came up at the Bureau.

No, you didn't.
That I would've remembered.

Another surprise, then. Yeah,
pretty sure that I nailed it.

- Now it's just a waiting game.
- Well, I hope it all works out.

It'd be great to have you
back here for good.

- Ah, thank you, thank you.

this woman for way too long.

♪♪♪

So what was that look
on your face last night?

What look? There was no look.

- Oh, there was a look.
- I saw it, too.

Okay, Rach, don't come back in here,

stirring up the pot like you do.

Oh, I am not... I was just
surprised at your ambivalence.

I wasn't being ambivalent.

It's just I don't wanna get
my hopes up, that's all.

- Well, that's some bull.
- Hey.

So what is it, then?

This was not the plan,
him being gone so long.

But then also...

You got used to having
the bed to yourself.

Okay. I'm not talking about this anymore.

I suggest we move on.

- What about this Amy?
- Ohh.

I think this one could go the distance.

[LAUGHS] Mark.

You've never been serious about anybody

in your entire life.

What makes this one so different?

I don't know. Maybe...
Maybe she reminds me of you?

Both of you.

You know what you want.
You go for it, no apologies.

- We don't put up with your bull.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, Rach, what about you?

Why the sudden move back to L.A.?

You know, um, I gotta go.

I will catch up
with the both of you later.

- What?
- I have a slew of licenses

and permits to submit.

See ya.

Well, that felt like a good,
old-fashioned blow-off.

Mm-hmm. Hold on. We are in for a ride.

[SIGHS]

I need to talk to you about Diamond.

- Okay. Who now?
- Pamela Pinafore.

I think... I believe
she's being trafficked

by her so-called uncle,
who I think is really her pimp.

I didn't like my uncles much, either.

What's your proof, counselor?

He controls her whole life.

He holds her ID, her cell,

when I asked, she didn't even
know her own phone number,

but he jumped right in
and rattled it off for her.

Sounds like the definition
of trafficking.

What's that got to do
with her drug charge?

I think a small amount
of drugs is insignificant

in comparison to sex trafficking.

You're gonna have to give me
something more than that, Lopez.

In exchange for the uncle,

I want a misdemeanor straight possession.

You don't have enough evidence
to prove intent anyway.

She was caught
with only 10 grams of meth.

Well, did you talk to her?

Did she say that she'd roll
on this pimp-uncle?

No, Diamond, I know Freddie
is your pimp, not your uncle,

and you are facing jail time
because of him.

I know those were
Freddie's drugs, not yours.

- I can help you.
- You don't know my life,

what he does, how he protects us.

Us? Who's us? Diamond, how many girls

does he have working
for him on the street?

I don't work. I'm not some street whore.

Can I see your house keys, please?

- What?
- What about your wallet?

Is your wallet in there?

No wallet, no keys, no cellphone.

This is about more
than just drugs, Diamond.

If he is taking you places

and forcing you to do sex work,

that is called trafficking,
and we can get him arrested.

You're fired. I want a new lawyer.

No, no, Diamond, please, let me help you.

If you roll on Freddie,

I will keep my end of the bargain.

He gets arrested,
and you get out of the life.

And he... He's not gonna be hurt

- or nothing like that, right?
- Diamond, he is going to prison,

not a 5-star resort.
Why would it even matter?

He is the only one
who has ever cared for me.

Diamond, no.

That's not what caring
about somebody looks like.

[EXHALES DEEPLY]

Come on, really? It's barely been a day.

- MAN: All right, I'm leaving.
- MARK: This is ridiculous!

Wow. He is really on him. What happened?

Displacement.

He can't yell at Choi,
so he's taking it out

on the closest representation to him.

MARK: Did you think I wasn't coming back?

Clean up after yourselves!

Right, displacement.

It's like a wreck you
can't look away from.

This is my office!

Yeah, but come on.
They are taking advantage.

I mean, they're using his office
like it's a DDA lounge.

It's just everyone enjoying
themselves at his expense.

What's going on?

Your boyfriend's letting
off a little steam

about being thrown in the penalty box.

- Penalty box?
- Oh, you didn't know.

My boyfriend?

Sorry. Was that supposed to be a secret?

No, but it's not
general knowledge, either,

and frankly none of your business.

MARK: Yeah, I'm looking at you, man.

See?

BOTH: Displacement.

Frank! Your coffee cup.

Nice surprise.

I'm in this building
the majority of the time.

- It shouldn't be.
- Headed to court?

Yeah, Just wanted to say hi.
You were benched?

Really buried the lede on that one.

Mark, why didn't you tell me?

Because, contrary to popular belief,

I do have some semblance of pride.

It is nothing to be embarrassed about.

You did what you thought was right.

You got slammed for it. Case closed.

- What I don't like is the dishonesty.
- I'm not being dishonest.

Lies by omission. Let's work on that.

EMILY: Thank you so much for coming.

Diamond, this is Detective Rick Kramer.

He's out of Vice. He's here
to do a preliminary interview...

You didn't say anything
about talking to a detective.

Diamond, I'm here to help.

I can bring in a victim's advocate,

a female detective, whatever you
need to feel more comfortable.

It's okay. I've made
it very clear to Diamond

that we are all here for her,
right, Detective Kramer?

- As long as she gives us what we need.
- See? Told you.

- Diamond, please, sit down.
- I thought you said she'd be cooperative.

Trying being helpful, okay? Please.

Ms. Pinafore, we give you our assurances

we'll assist you in every way we can.

It's okay.

This, um, Freddie Davidson...

- Did he work alone?
- Far as I could tell.

And you mostly worked
the Figueroa stretch?

Like I told her,
I don't work the blade.

Where, then?

Different places.

Motels, massage parlors, churches.

- In the downtown area?
- Mostly Westside, Santa Monica,

Palisades, sometimes Beverly Hills.

- Freddie, uh, he escorts you out there?
- In a van.

- How many girls?
- About 30 of us.

30. And who are these johns
you're serving?

Businessmen, doctors, cops.

Men looking for something kinkier

than what they're getting at home.

And they kept you all in the same space?

He can control us better
if he knows where we're all at.

How long have you been with him?

Four years.

Met him when I was 15 at a house party.

Said he'd... look out for me.

Said he wanted to be
my boyfriend, take care of me.

I figured, yeah, okay.

You know, foster family
wasn't providing much,

and here he was, promising the moon.

Um... and, uh...

and, um...

one night, he says...

"Prove you love me.

"Have sex with that guy.

Uh, get money for it."

I refused.

He made sure I never did again.

Where can we find him?

Um... just one second.

Okay.

Her drug charge gets
dropped down on misdemeanor,

her record expunged,
and we get her into a program

and out of this life.

We give her a chance at the life

that she should have had four years ago.

Deal.

Diamond, you can tell me
where to find him.

No photographs in the filing paperwork.

Defendant waive Miranda rights
and give a statement?

No? Then try again. And you were clearly

cutting and pasting from another report.

Dates and names are wrong.

[INHALES SHARPLY] Can I
offer you a little advice?

You think I'm being too hard on 'em?

Strike the right balance.

Is it wrong that I want 'em
to cross every T

- and dot every I?
- Within reason.

Don't berate them. Guide them.

I appreciate the advice,

but I'm only here temporarily.

[CHUCKLES] Yeah.

That's the same thing
I said 20 years ago.

Excuse me a sec. I'll be right back.

Pursuant to the stipulation...

[LOWERED VOICE] Ms. Audubon,
I'm Emily Lopez.

I represent Pamela Pinafore.

Ms. Lopez, your client
is the reason I'm here.

Your client has been trafficking
my client since she was 15.

Allegedly. According to him,
they're in a relationship.

A relationship? Freddie Davidson
coerced my client

to turning hundreds of tricks.

How would you categorize that
as a relationship?

People vs. Frederick Davidson.

Uh, Your Honor, may I have a second call?

Make it quick, Ms. Audubon.

Do you know Judge Carmichael?

You have a deal on the table.

If Freddie gets bailed out,

my client is the first person
he's coming after.

Pamela has a chance
to get out of the sex work

that your client forced her into.

Help me give her
and those 30 other young women

a chance at some kind of better life.

Ms. Audubon, are we finally ready?

Your Honor, we waive time
for arraignment and plea

and ask that the matter
be continued tomorrow.

Mr. Davidson, your attorney
wants to come back tomorrow.

You agree?

Yes, Your Honor.

Then that will be the order.

- Thank you.
- No, Ms. Lopez, thank you.

You bought me an extra day.

So that's it? You're just leaving?

- I have other clients.
- I don't really care.

I want to know what you're
doing about this one.

I do not work for you, Ms. Lopez.

No, you're right. You work for the scum

who's selling young women for sex

like they are property
to be auctioned off.

- It is appalling. It is slavery.
- Freddie's a street pimp.

Exactly, a pimp, who could
somehow afford to hire

a rainmaker out of D.C.

- I do my research.
- So do I,

and you and I both know

that taking one Freddie

- What do you want me to do about that?

I want you to go after the bastard

who is funding this entire
sex trafficking operation.

I want you to go after the person

who keeps pimps like Freddie
in the sick business

of preying upon the vulnerable,

and I want everyone involved

in the exploitation of my client to pay.

You think I can do all that?

No. I think we can do all that.

♪♪♪

Do you think the DDA
would be amenable to a deal

with my client?

♪♪♪

No, I already placed a 1275 hold
on Frederick Davidson

so he can't bail out unless he can show

the money came from legitimate sources.

No need. The sources are legit.
I came to talk plea.

I've got your Freddie dead to rights.

[CHUCKLES] For the retainer
I was given,

Freddie's just a middleman.
What if he rolled

on the one above his pay grade,
bringing down

the whole sex trafficking house of cards?

- Give me a name.
- Give us a deal.

You've already got one.
You, give me a name.

I'll get you a name,

Oh. Luke, this is...

I see them coming out of her mouth,

Okay. I think...

Honestly, I'm not looking

All right, let's have a look.

The gang enhancement's still listed.

It's not worth filing if you
don't have the enhancement.

It doesn't make any sense.

A gang member voluntarily
gives up his affiliation

but doesn't say what happened
10 feet in front of him?

You do realize that this
makes my job more difficult,

- arguing the case in court, right?
- The dichotomy of the streets.

Gang members self-admit,
and snitches get ditches.

And now you see how my job
is often more difficult.

- I weep for you. I really do, but...
- But what?

Garbage in, garbage out.
You know what I'm saying?

Ooh.

This one's got a mouth on him, huh, Tony?

Yeah, used to that rarefied air upstairs.

I used to be a hotshot lawyer
just like you,

but I got burned by a case

because of insufficient evidence,

and I got sent down here.

But the difference is
I stayed to help out

so you all can keep enjoying
that good air upstairs.

You and I should go for a ride.

- Ah, I got work to do.
- No, no, no.

I'll put on a uniform.
I'll get a patrol car.

You can see for yourself
what we're doing out there.

Maybe change your perspective
a little bit.

Still needs more.

Great. I love it. Can't get enough.

Glad to hear it.

Thank you for being a team player

and doing me that favor.

Speaking of favors,
I have one to ask of you.

Mm?

Young woman, 19, was
brought up on drug charges.

Turns out she was a street
worker being trafficked,

but the man has deep pockets.

And you're afraid he's going
to wiggle out from under.

I want the prelim
assigned to my courtroom.

I know that it's unorthodox,
but you are the only one

who has the power to assign cases.

The counselors have forged
a delicate stack of deals

to bring down the entire
trafficking ring.

I'd really like to be
the one to see it through.

And I did just do you a favor.

I want to make sure
that the record reflects

that the parties had
an off-the-record discussion

regarding plea negotiations

in Ms. Pinafore
and Mr. Davidson's matters.

It is the contemplation of the parties

that Ms. Pinafore will be pleading

to misdemeanor drug possession

and will receive probation and treatment.

Mr. Davidson will plead to pimping

and will receive three years in prison.

Both of these offers are in exchange

for Ms. Pinafore and Mr. Davidson

having identified Dr. Matthew Denton

and agreeing to testify against him.

Mr. Denton has been arrested
and charged with trafficking

hundreds of women
over the span of four years.

I will take the pleas
on the next court date

in order to give the prosecution time

to secure the testimony
of both defendants

against Dr. Denton
at his preliminary hearing.

Court is adjourned.
