Sure you don't
want me to stay?

No. Sherri,
please go home.

It is a marathon,
not a sprint.

We have had a good few days
easing back in.

No need to blow yourself out.

I'm just taking advantage
of the quiet.

- Where are you headed?
- [ chuckles ]

I found a store
out in Monterey Park

stocked up on TP
and sanitizer.

Shut up.

They keep talking
about a second wave.

I plan to be ready.

Well, can you grab me a couple
rolls while you're at it?

As long as you promise
not to stay much longer.

Robin should be landing soon.
I will be right behind you.

Oh, good.
How long this time?

About a month,
give or take, a few days.

10-day quarantine sucks,
but at least he'll be here.

- I go to go.
- Night.

[ exhales deeply ]

[ button clicks ]

You can't be here.

- You can't see me.
- Oh, but I can, Mr. Callan.

And you can go right back
from whence you came.

I'm just checking on Lo.

Whoa.

I am so sorry.
I didn't mean to--

It kind of seem

Really, Mark? Forget me.

You know you are not
supposed to be up here,

especially smelling
loudly of beer.

- [ exhales ]
- Yeah.

There's a little celebration
going on downstairs.

- You got the job?
- I got the job.

Heading up
the Special Trials Unit.

That is major.

Short time ago,
I wasn't even entirely sure

I wanted to be a D.A.,

and now I'm picking
my own cases.

You earned it, Mark.

This is what I worked
my ass off for, right?

Hell, yeah.

Sherri said five minutes.

Sherri didn't send me.
Judge Benner did. Let's go.

Protesters are starting
to gather out front.

They want everyone out
of the building.

Any idea
what this one's about?

From the looks of it, they're
still not a fan of the D.A.

Huh.

Hey, where are you going?

Make sure
everyone's out of the building

and then back to my office.

Lisa, you can't stay here.

Yes, I can.
I'm the boss.

Take the long way?

[ door squeaks ]

Whew!

Wait. Mark, it's been a minute
since I ran upstairs like that.

Oh, come on.

[ sighs ]

Is it that chaotic
at the D.A.'s office

that you have resorted
to contraband?

Or is this about
the new promotion?

A gift from Choi.
Name's engraved and everything.

Wow, new job.

Colleagues like you.
Live-in girlfriend.

How is it going with...Amy?

It couldn't be better.

- I am happy to hear that.
- I know.

- It surprised me, too.
- I'm not...

Odds are I was gonna
screw it up, right?

But you haven't.

Too many good things
happening at once.

Oh, Mark. Come on.

It's everything
you've been working hard for.

[ crowd chanting in distance ]

That look have
anything to do with you

at my head?

Wanna talk about it?

Man over megaphone:
Defund the police!

Defund the police! Defund
the police! Defund the polic!

I will never understand
why riot gear is necessary.

They are marching peacefully.

Now, but in an hour,
it could devolve into chaos.

And that's
the protestors' fault?

I don't condone violence,

But riot gear,
batons, tear gas--

it's a recipe for agitation
and indignation.

[ crowd chanting
and shouting indistinctly ]

Mark: Ooh, you almost--

- Watch that person, Lo.
- Mark--

Left, Lo. I said left...

Mark, I will empty you
out of this car.

Is that Luke and Emily?

What's Luke doing
in his uniform?

You know he's in
the Sheriff's Reserve.

He probably got called
to help out.

I appreciate the ride,
and I'm sure Amy does as well.

Mark, it's all good.
You were on the way home.

Hey, where are you going?

I didn't do nothing.
I didn't steal nothing.

Keep your hands
where I can see them.

Uh, I might be a little bent,

but I'm pretty sure
that's the path that way.

- Please.
- Where are you going right now?

I'm just going home.
It's that way.

How long have you been
out here?

[ seat belt clacks ]

Lo, where are you going?!
Get back in here!

[ crowd chanting indistinctly ]

I didn't take anything.

Keep your hands
where I can see 'em.

- I'm going home. Please.
- Please.

- My name is Lola Carmichael.
- Stop where you are.

- And I am a judge.
- Stop right there.

She is only a child.
You can see that she's scared.

- Stand back.
- I'm gonna stand here with her

and make sure she's okay.
You can check.

This backlog is a bitch

Here are a few candidates.

They all come

- Oh, come on.

How's it going, by the way,
with your grandparents' store?

They're still rebuilding

It's been hard.

from their insurance company.

Oh, hey. There's Luke. Luke!

Ah-ah. It's--
It's two at a time.

Sherri:
People vs. Jesse Fros.

Ugh. I know.

I could barely sleep
knowing I had to face

both Mark and Rachel
in Courtroom 802

for the first time
at the same time.

Rachel had the nerve
to call me this morning

to make sure I was gonna be okay

because it's gonna be weird.
It was a total tactic.

She was just trying
to butter me up.

Oh. Well, with the kind
of backlog we're having,

that's gonna be happening
a lot more.

I get it. But these two--

they know how to push
each other's buttons,

my buttons.
I can already feel it.

Hmm. And to add on top
of that,

Benner caught me
in the hallway this morning.

[ groans ]

I mean, I tried,
but she came in armed.

I really thought
I got Benner off our backs

about needing a law clerk.

If I may offer up
a little advice?

Please.

Meet with several
of the candidates.

Narrow it down to two.

And if they don't live up
to the Lolacoaster standards,

as well all know they won't,
kick 'em to the curb.

Fine.
I'll meet with the clerks.

But I want the record to stand
that I do not need a law clerk.

I do not need a law clerk.

See, record still standing.

Ooh, pink crystals today.

- Rose quartz. The Hoodwitch.
- The Hood what?

I figured with dealing
with the two besties,

you could use some calming

and compassion-promoting

You know, I really like
this new enlightened attitude

I'm not doing
your interviews for you.

Fine.

I already told him that.

Rachel: Are you really trying
to add a hate crime enhancement

to these charges
right before trial begins?

This is so last minute.

Mark:
I'm filing amended information.

Upon in-depth review
of prelim transcript

and subsequent investigation,

I think a hate crime enhancement
is both warranted and supported.

There was nothing
at the prelim to support this.

Mark: Not only is the racial
distinction made clear

in the transcripts, Rachel,
but I combed over

your client's social media
accounts, interviews.

I think his views
on Black Lives Matter

are pretty clear.
- All rise.

Rachel:
It was a high school newspaper,

and his words
were taken out of context.

And I quote, "If you ask me,
the whole Black Lives Matter

slogan is racist.
All lives matter."

- Okay, you two, that's enough.
- Mark: "All lives matter.

"And if anyone ever got
in my face about it,

I'd show him
how much I value mine."

Hey, you two...

Maybe that's what
he was thinking

when he started swinging
a baseball bat

at a bunch
of Black and brown protestors.

Okay, that's enough.

Jesse Frost
feared for his life...

- You may be seated.
- ...and he reacted.

Is that why he had
a baseball bat at the ready?

Since when does having
a baseball bat

equate to a hate crime?
- We'll find out.

All right, that's enough!
Good morning.

I see we need to set
some ground rules here.

On the record,
People vs. Jesse Frost.

Mr. Frost is present
with his attorney, Ms. Audubon,

and Mr. Callan
is here for the People.

The record should reflect
that the Court,

the prosecutor,
and the defense attorney

all attended law school together
and have been

socially acquainted
for more than a decade.

After careful consideration,
the Court does not believe

these personal relationships
will affect the Court's ability

to hear this matter impartially.

Now, does either side
wish to be heard?

- No, Your Honor.
- No objection here.

Okay then. Great.

Now, Mr. Callan,
what is this I see

about amended information?

You gotta get e
outta here.

I am not good
all cooped up like thi.

The 'Rona is runnig
rampant in here.

When were you placed
into quarantine?

Yesterday mornin.
Right away.

I asked to call yo.
They wouldn't let m.

here tested positive. [ crying ]

Carrie, I'm working

Your kids are good.
They're good.

Carrie, are you hearing me?

Stay strong. Okay?

You looking for work?
Because I've got plenty.

The D.A.s
are filing a ton of cases,

and the numbers
keep going up.

How do I get my client
out of custody

while her case
is still pending?

- What's she in for?
- Theft-related robbery.

All of her priors
are for stealing.

But this time,
she pushed the security guard

when he tried to stop her.
- They're not letting her out.

She stole supplies
for her kids.

File a bail motion.

I did.
The court's not budging.

Well, then I don't know
what to tell you. Unless...

if the D.A. gets on board...
- Mm-hmm.

...then the court won't have
much choice but to follow along.

And maybe you can
convince them

to help get her out
before she gets the 'Rona.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Who's the D.A. on the case?
- Uh...

- Have a good one.
- Thanks, man.

to know that?

How did he know

by a mob of angry protesters.

She couldn't have been
more than 14 years old.

You have no idea what she did
before the cops stopped her.

It doesn't matter
what she did, Mark.

She didn't deserve
to be treated that way.

She didn't deserve to be treated
the way she was treated.

Neither of us did,
for that matter.

- Are you okay?
- No, Mark, I am not okay.

I am far from okay.

[ shouting indistinctly ]

All right. Assuming that
Lola allows my amendment to add

to the hate crime enhancement,
we still need to prove at trial

that Jesse Frost
started swinging a baseball bat

because
they were people of color

and not because he feared
for his life.

Why are you going so hard
at this hate crime enhancement?

It doesn't add up
to any extended sentencing.

Don't we have to prove
intent to kill first?

He's shoving in
the enhancement

because he's going
to try to depict you

and those around you
as racists.

Yeah. I say we stick
with Jesse acted off instinct,

based on fear for his safety.

You drove off the freeway,

you got surrounded
by a crowd of protesters,

you took out your bat,
and you started swinging.

Well, that's the truth, right?
That's exactly how it happened.

- I was scared out of my mind.
- Are you sure?

Yes.

You, in no way,
got out of that car

because you didn't see anyone
who looked like you?

- No.
- Wait, wait a minute.

Wait. What is this?

Mr. Frost,
these are serious charges.

We have to be ready
for anything.

Oh, I understand
how serious they are.

I just can't believe my family
has to go through this.

of this makes any sense.

We are respected business

And my football scholarship

Just going over my argument

for why the hate crime

- How do you feel about it?
- Good. Lola will go for it.

Confident. Good for you.

- So, Mark...
- [ crunching ] Mm?

Any way Lola can't be
unbiased in this case?

I told you that
in confidence.

And now we're having
a confidential conversation.

Lola has always
been able to separate

her personal feelings
from the job.

- This is different.
- No, it's not!

Mark, I know how strong
a woman Lola is,

but come on,
I mean, being arrested?

That had to have
some effect on her.

Regardless of
what happened that night,

Lola will not allow her personal
feelings to come into play.

Besides, Lola's arrest
has no bearing

in the facts
of Jesse's case. Yeah.

Please tell me you did not
speak to Rachel about this.

♪♪♪

Rachel: Of course not.

The day I'm worried
about Mark Callan

is the day I give up law.

So what are the odds
Judge Carmichael will allow Mark

to amend the information to add
the hate crime enhancement?

Racists commit crimes
all the time,

but they're not all hate crimes.
Intent has to be proven.

Preliminary hearing transcript
doesn't contain

any evidence of intent
except a bunch of old tweets

and blurry video that
was admitted into evidence.

- Mm.
- What?

- Nothing.
- It seems like something.

The video may be blurry,
but it is extremely damning.

I mean, he struck
African Americans

and Latinx people.
- And?

And I think
it could be tough for...

some people to be
unbiased.

Mark told you about Lola?

What? No. No.

- [ sighs ]
- Wait, you know?

Lola's my best friend.
Of course I know.

Okay. Now that it looks
like we both know,

what were you getting at?

Do you think
Judge Carmichael

can be impartial
considering what happened

the night of the protest?

Yes. Without a doubt.

So using this
to our advantage is out?

Besides being a reach,
it's completely unethical.

Not to mention Mark
would never speak to me again.

Mark not speaking to me,
I could handle.

But Lola...

The Carrie Banks case.
The woman's got kids,

We're trying to get her out

[ telephone ringing

Hit me.

Carrie Banks
has made mistakes,

but she was
on the right path.

And then COVID hit.
Her life became a nightmare.

She lost her job. She was
unable to pay her bills,

her rent,
but even worse,

she couldn't afford food
for her kids.

Carrie didn't steal
thousands of dollars

of useless merchandise.

She took basic essentials
for her children to survive--

an amount that would have been
an infraction

if she hadn't slightly
pushed the security guard

out of desperation,
and for that,

she was taken from her children
and put in a jail?

This was not
a crime of greed.

It was one of necessity

and one we have a chance
to make right.

Like you said,
you got this.

Thanks, Mark.

Maybe it is this case
that is flooding back memories

of everything
that happened that night.

But I just haven't been able
to shake that feeling.

What feeling, Lo?
Uh, how did I disrespect you?

Since when does
a Black person have to say

or do anything wrong to get
arrested in this country?

But instead of asking the cop
why I was being zip-tied,

you asked me
what I did wrong.

I didn't understand why
he was arresting you.

Exactly!

It didn't occur to you
that he could never believe

I was who I said I was.

Well, how was
he supposed to know that?

Did he believe you?

Eventually. I had to show
my credentials to--

He never even asked

Lola: Ms. Audubon,

would you like to be heard
regarding the People's intention

to amend the information to add
the hate crime enhancement?

Yes, Your Honor.

The preliminary hearing
transcript in this matter

does not contain
any evidence to support

a hate crime enhancement.

It is insulting
to even suggest that

that was
this young man's motivation.

And leaving it
to the day of trial

feels rather desperate.

Thank you. Mr. Callan,
do you wish to respond?

[ clears throat ] Your Honor,

the evidence at the prelim
showed that all the victims

were people of color.

The defendant targeted them,

attacked them,
and tried to kill them,

explicitly based
on the color of their skin.

Judge Carmichael,
with the utmost respect for you,

the Court,
and all it represents,

these facts not only speak
for themselves,

but shout so loudly
that any reasonable person

would come
to the same conclusion.

This is a hate crime.

Thank you both.

to review the transcripts.

I will issue
my ruling tomorrow.

Good night, ladies.

Sara: Night.

Did I, uh, break some rule?

Yes.
But you knew that.

How are you gonna rule on
that hate crime enhancement?

Have a seat, Ms. Johnson.

The American flag,
Lady Justice.

To me, those are more
than just symbols of freedom

and justice for all.

They are a constant reminder
of my responsibility.

Being a judge means
coming into this room

committed to being patient,

knowledgeable and fair,
no matter who stands before me.

- Not true.
- Excuse me?

It does matter
who stands before you.

Sure, those symbols
mean justice and freedom,

but not for people like for us,
not for people like you and me.

And if you think that way,
then you've lost me because--

I am well aware
of the imbalances

in the justice system.

- It's why I became a judge.
- Then educate me.

What is there left to weigh
about the crime enhancement?

Because from where
I'm standing,

that white boy
is straight-up guilty,

and he's hiding
behind his entitlement.

Ms. Johnson,
you did not read

the prelim transcripts
or see all of the evidence.

You walked in here with
your own preconceived notions

based on the color
of his skin,

which is the exact opposite
of what a judge should do,

what anyone should do.

Now if you had heard
all the evidence

and had all the facts,

would you still be convinced
of Mr. Frost's guilt

based on the facts

or based on your own biases
and prejudices?

And know
that you must be certain...

absolutely certain

that you can put
those biases aside,

that your own personal
experiences and feelings,

when you put on this robe,
do not sway your decisions

because another human being
is depending on that judgment.

And that is the difference
between debating theory in class

and delivering a ruling
in court.

I hope all judges
get down with justice like you,

Judge Carmichael.

Because I hear you.

Our people's lives
do depend on it.
