You ever seen\Nsuch a sexy search warrant?

Is that\Na judge lola carmichael\Nsignature I detect?

Signed fresh last night.

So this house is the hub\Nof the smash and grabs?

My investigator\Nseemed to think so.

Which means, after today,\NI will be one step closer\Nto nailing their leader.

Which also means...

We can finally\Nhave date nights.

-[mark] uh-huh.\N-Mmm-hmm.

Maybe you can invite collier\Nto the next one.

-Not funny.\N-Wasn't meant to be.

I think it's time I met your\Nsoon to be ex-husband.

And you will\Nbut now is a bad time.

He hasn't been\Nfeeling great lately.

I'm just saying,

I want to be here for you,\Nall right?

Have a great day.

Have fun on hell street.

Shit, it...

[wheels rattling]

-knock, knock.\N-Morning.

-I don't remember--\N-shh.

[whispering] ...Calling\Na family meeting in chambers.

Babysitter cancelled.

And as you so wisely\Npointed out,

the fbi is not\Nthe friendliest day care.

Neither is\Nthe criminal courthouse.

-What about charles and roxy?\N-I tried all\Nthe usual suspects.

You honor, I really need\Nto know if you're attending\Nthe stanford conference...

-[both] shh.\N-...Because I need\Nto put it on the calendar.

-[whispering] why are\Nwe whispering?\N-[mouthing] bailey.

-I thought we agreed\Nyou weren't going.\N-I never said I wasn't going.

Lola, there was a typo\Nin the smash and grab

-search warrant--\N-[both] shh.

[whispering] I need you\Nto re-sign it.

What's going on here?\NSherri, please,\Nguard the door.

Sorry, but with the singing\Nand the shushing,\NI'm just not on my game.

I thought this stanford thing\Nwas settled.

[clears throat]

looks like you to have a lot\Nto talk about.

No you stay,\Nwe're not done here.

I just...\NI'm in a bit of a rush, so...

[lola grunts]

how long will you be gone for?

-It's only\Nfor a couple of hours.\N-I cannot believe you.

Now, what am I signing here?

I wrote, "626 hell street,"\Ninstead of, "626 hill street."

just... It's a lot of sixes.

Enjoy mommy-daughter work day.

Robin taylor... Sherri, stop.

Still on for\Nbreakfast, carmichael?

-[all] shh.\N-Oh, hi, robin.

Hi, lisa. Got to go.\NLove you, baby.

Thanks, lola.\NBye, bailey.

Hmm.

Oh, breakfast for three.

[bailey giggles]

-happy trial day, ladies.\N-[all] hey.

Hey, mr. Callan.

All those weeks of putting\Nheat on our office

to push your case forward\Nfinally paid off.

Only if we get a conviction\Nfor eden.

Unfortunately, another\Nvery capable attorney\Nwill have to pull out the win.

But you're our attorney.

Don't worry, you'll still\Nhave a friendly face.

I promise.

Teddy, smash and grab\Ninvestigation is\Nhitting a crescendo.

I need to bump you up\Nto first chair\Non the roofie case.

-Walk with me.\N-Oh, sure. Yeah.

It was a drug charge.

As you know, the defendant\Nwas caught drugging\Nthe victim's drink.

-He was arrested at the scene.\N-Yeah, I got all that\Nbut that means...

Yeah, I have to talk to them\Non my own, right?

Uh, yeah, is that going\Nto be a problem?

You have done the impossible\Nand earned these women's trust\Nin the system,

and now you're handing them\Noff to your freshest meat?

Teddy is second chair\Non the case.

He's an excellent attorney.\NHe can handle it.

Right, I can handle it.

[mark] great,\Nand I'm just a call away.

Just got to serve\Na search warrant\Nand find a bulletproof vest.

Go, get 'em.

[indistinct]

[teddy] I can do this.

They're just exotic dancers.

You can say,\N"stripper," teddy.

It's not a bad word.

[chuckles nervously] hi.

[police siren blaring]

[mark] who the hell are they?

-Fbi.\N-What the hell\Nis going on here?

You're interfering\Nwith a federal investigation.

Get back in your cars\Nand turn around.

We have a search warrant.

[agent] what part of,\N"federal," don't\Nyou understand?

All right, stand down.

[horns honking]

all right, what the hell\Nhappened out there?

They froze us out, sir.

They rolled up on us\Nin three suvs.

Dda mark callan a pleasure.

You brought the big boss\Nfor back up.

You know us. Who are you?

Zoya hameed, assistant\Nunited states attorney.

My team of federal agents\Nhas been putting together

a multi-state hobbs act\Nrobbery crew

against the owner of that\Nhouse for the past year.

Our task force has\Nalso been building a case.

Surely, we can pool resources,\Nwork together.

Who's the target\Nof your warrant?

Do you really not have a name?

Some resources\Nyou're offering us.

Brandon paige.

That's a freebie.

Even without a name,\Nwe were closer to an arrest.

Based on what?

Unlike your office,\Nwe only fire when ready.

And while your office\Nwaits years to file charges,

brandon paige\Nis out on the streets,

committing more crimes\Nand harming more people.

And by the end of it,\Nhe will be a long term guest

of the federal bureau\Nof prisons.

Now, for the last time,\Nback off.

Brandon paige is mine.

Did lola tell you\Nor did you just overhear us\Nin chambers this morning?

I was just doing my job.

I didn't peg you for the type\Nto take advantage\Nof our friendship, robin.

Let alone your marriage.

Wow, sara is still\Ndodging my texts.

How dare she steal your thing.

I am a reformed text dodger,\Nthank you very much.

Also, you're not much better\Nnow that you have\Nthe pd workload.

So, at least, I own it.

-How are you holding up,\Nby the way?\N-Fine.

But ask me again after today.

I'm defending a man\Naccused of drugging\Nan exotic dancer.

I'm so over this dude.

Hey, lawyer man.

Apologies for\Nthe interruption, my dear.

I require this man's\Nabounding legal wisdom.

-He's all yours.\N-Thank you.

[sighs] ooh.

There is something\Nso corruptible about a woman\Nin a suit, so--

you do not want to finish\Nthat thought.

Thank you again\Nfor being willing to testify.

Ah, you're the only one\Nthat saw the defendant\Ndrug eden's drink.

So without you,\Nwe'd have no case.

Sure. I'm just\Nsurprised you all\Nare taking this seriously.

Oh, it's very serious.

Can you take us through\Nthe events of that night?

I was dancing on the stage,

and eden was sitting with her\Nregular customer, franklin.

Franklin's been my regular\Nfor about a year.

He's goofy but in a fun way.

I have to keep\Nreminding myself that he,

-you know.\N-You didn't see him\Ndrug your drink?

It's very easy to get\Ndistracted when there are\Nboobs on stage.

I... Okay.

[teddy clears throat,\Nchuckles nervously]

so it was just\Nyou and franklin\Nwatching adrianna?

Yeah, she saw it happen.

By the time she got off stage,\NI already drank most of it,

so she took me to the back\Nof the dressing room\Nto take care of me.

And made sure that\Nfranklin stayed distracted

with another girl\Nuntil the cops came.

I got really lucky.

Was security not around?

Yes and no.

They're always around\Nbut they're never\Nreally watching.

We look out for each other.

Did you have a

relationship with franklin\Noutside the club?

No, no.

He doesn't even\Nknow my real name.

Just knows me\Nby my stage name.

-Lilith.\N-Lilith?

As in the legendary\Nsuccubus she-demon?

Wait, yes.

Oh, my god,\Nnobody ever gets that.

When I'm giving lap dances,

I like to imagine I'm draining\Nmy customers of their souls.

-Wow, that's so depraved.\N-[chuckles softly]

and inspiring. [chuckles]

one time, I made\Na succubus the big bad\Nof my d&d campaign.

-Shut up, I love d&d.\N-[cellphone vibrates]

[teddy] you're kidding.

-[eden] are you on discord?\N-[teddy] but, of course.

I host my own rpg server.

-Stud of the tavern.\N-[teddy laughs]

[whispering] oh, bailey,\Nyou're so scrumptious.

[chuckles] I promise, I will\Nfind someone to relieve\Nyour post by lunch.

It's no trouble, really.

I don't have court till later,

and she seems\Nto be enjoying herself.

[bailey coos]

oh, no, let me get that.

Stand down, your honor.

Bottle washing is\Nwell within my capabilities.

Lola, I need to talk to you.

-Sherri, you are\Nreally slacking today.\N-I'm sorry.

Your husband\Ntipped off the feds\Nabout my search warrant.

That's six months of work,\Ndown the drain.

-They shut it down.\N-He did what?

-Did you tell him about it?\N-Of course, not.

I can't believe you're even\Nasking me that.

-[mark] wow.\N-Hey.

I've been helping out\Nthe surveillance team

at the brandon paige house\Nfor months.

Were you eavesdropping\Non us earlier?

I was in the vicinity\Nof the conversation.

That's not\Ntechnically eavesdropping.

Robin taylor.

I didn't mean to hear it.

But I felt duty-bound\Nto report--

-judge carmichael needs\Nto be in court.\N-[mark] are there

any other events in my life\Nyou'd like to implode, robin?

Come on, man,\Nit's not personal.

-Okay, hey.\N-Judge carmichael needs\Nto be in court now.

Your catfight can wait.

-Yeah.\N-[bailey coos]

this conversation\Nis far from over.

Hey. You were right.

My client, gloria,\Nis no longer in juvie.

She has agreed to testify\Nagainst brandon paige

so the feds are holding her\Nin protective custody.

I had targeted her\Nas my main witness.

[sighs]

you know,

she has a younger sister\Nwho was also wrapped up\Nin the brandon paige scene.

-Maddy hernandez.\N-You think you can\Nconvince her to talk to us?

I'm not sure.

Honestly, she's not my client\Nand I'm not her babysitter.

What happened\Nto, "miss holistic law?"

I promised gloria that I would\Nhelp keep maddy safe,

and believe me, I have tried,\Nbut this is\Nturning into something

that is way beyond\Nthe scope of my practice.

As long as maddy\Nis roaming the streets,

she's within\Nbrandon paige's reach.

You can help protect her,\Nshe trusts you.

Trust is a big word, okay?

She doesn't even want my help

and I guarantee you,\Nshe would choose brandon paige\Nover me right now.

-You underestimate the power\Nof the lopez charm.\N-Okay.

-We both know flattery is not\Nmy strongest motivator.\N-Right.

But helping people is.

Maddy needs your help,\NI need your help.

-This case needs--\N-okay, just, please, stop.

You're driving.

Dr. Goodwin,\Nwhat is your occupation?

I'm a criminologist

employed by the los angeles\Npolice department's technical\Ninvestigation division.

What do you know about\Nthe drug called ketamine?

[dr. Goodwin] ketamine\Nis an anesthetic drug.

It can have an effect\Nsimilar to alcohol,

but in larger does,\Nit can cause a loss of memory,

loss of body control,\Neven a loss of consciousness.

Did any of the samples\Nyou tested for this matter\Nshow the presence of ketamine?

Yes, the sample\Nof the blood taken\Nfrom ms. Porter, "item 1,"

and sample of the beverage\Ntaken at the scene, "item 3."

was the amount present\Nin ms. Porter's blood\Nof any significance?

Well, it was higher than\Nis typically seen\Nin a recreational user.

How can ketamine\Nbe used non-recreationally?

It can be administered\Nto an individual

through a system\Nthat's commonly\Nreferred to as, "date rape."

objection,\Nlack of foundation, outside\Nthe witness' expertise.

Overruled.

[teddy] no further questions.

Mr. Watkins, your witness.

You said that ketamine\Ncan be used recreationally.

That means that people\Ntake it on purpose, right?

Well, it can sometimes\Nbe considered a party drug.

You mentioned that you\Ndetected ketamine

in the complaining\Nwitness' blood sample.

-Can you determine\Nhow it got there?\N-No, I cannot.

You also mentioned that you\Ndetected ketamine\Nin the drink at the scene.

-Can you determine\Nhow it got there?\N-I can't do that either.

And, finally, in the materials\Ncollected from mr. Hastings,

there were no traces\Nof ketamine detected\Nat all, correct?

That's also correct.

No further questions.

Psst, doughnuts\Nin the judge's lounge,\Nyou didn't hear it from me.

Oh, would you sign\Nthis document first?

[keyboard clacking]

[lola] hmm.

-I thought your parents\Nlived in marin county.\N-They do.

What's the lindon community?

Uh, is there a reason\Nwhy you're snooping\Nthrough my personal mail?

I didn't snoop, I glanced.

It's a mobile home community.

But, more importantly,

[whispering] moses has been\Nwriting across transcripts\Nin gel pens.

[lola] moses.

Yes, madam justice?

Is there a reason\Nyou've been making comments\Nin the transcripts.

I need an outlet\Nfor my opinions.

Does that say, "this is suss"?

It was suss.

[gasps] and while we're\Ninterested in my opinions,

-you should really\Nbe giving bailey--\N-oh, mmm-mmm.

I'm going to stop you\Nright there.

Mmm-hmm. Mmm, mmm-hmm.

You know, it's been forever\Nsince we've had the chance\Nto actually talk.

-Aren't you getting married?\N-Allegedly.

Amy's divorce\Nis still processing.

-Have you met\Nthe current husband?\N-Not yet.

-It's really weird, right?\N-Right?

Yes, it is weird, thank you.

I thought\NI was just being sensitive.

I mean, if the guy\Nis still important to her\Nand there's no bad blood,

I don't know why\Nshe's hiding him from me.

Something I'd look into.

I'm working on it.

How are things\Nbetween you and luke?

There are no things, you know,\Nwe're just friends.

We're in a really\Ngood place right now

and I'm just glad\Nthat he's still in my life.

All right.

Maddy, hey.

[friend] who is that?

I got to go.

You can't be here.

Why are you\Nstill harassing me?

He could be watching us.

Hey, hey, our agreement was\Nthat you were going to stop

hanging out\Nwith brandon paige.

Not him. Sykes.

-You have to go.\N-Wait, wait.

Maddy, this is mark callan,\Nhe's a prosecutor,\Nhe might be able to help you.

If you tell him what you know\Nabout brandon paige

they will make sure\Nyou're protected.

I'm sorry,\NI can't talk to anybody.

Leave me alone.

[teddy and eden laughing]

one time, I ran out of arrows,

so I beat an orc to death\Nwith my bow.

Once, I had a bard character\Nwhose weapon\Nof choice was a lute

with knives\Nsticking out of its neck.

Sounds like you played\Nsome pretty killer tune.

[teddy laughs, snorts]

um, hey, teddy, can I just\Ntalk to you for a second?

Sorry. Sorry. [chuckles]

I think you may be\Ngetting a little distracted\Nfrom the task at hand.

Nonsense, eden's just\Nan incredibly delightful\Nand engaging person.

Who is counting on you\Nto get a conviction

on a crime that\Nthousands of other men\Nhave gotten away with.

An assault was prevented,\Nand there's still evidence,\Nthat is rare.

I'm aware.

If you win, you can prove that\Nsomeone doesn't have to get\Nhurt for there to be justice.

I know what I'm doing.

I'm the attorney here.

[sighs]

how did mr. Hastings approach\Nyou the night of the incident?

He told me he'd like\Nto purchase an hour with me\Nin the vip room

but that he wanted\Nto grab a drink first.

He didn't know\Nthat I was recently sober

so I ordered a mocktail,\Ndrank most of it.

When I started to feel hazy,\NI knew that something\Nwas wrong.

Has mr. Hastings ever\Nexpressed wanting more than\Nthe standard lap dance?

He's asked me to have sex\Nwith him more than once.

-[hastings clears throat]\N-[eden] even offering payment\Na few times,

but that's common in the club.

[teddy] no further questions.

Mr. Watkins, your witness.

Mr. Porter, have you ever used\Nrecreational drugs\Nto get through a shift?

Um...

Yes, I have.

In fact, you've been to rehab

for the abuse\Nof recreational drugs,\Nhaven't you?

Objection, improper\Ncharacter evidence.

Your honor,\Nthe witness testifying\Nthat she's recently sober

opened the door for evidence\Nof her drug history.

He's correct, mr. Biswas,\Nthe door was opened.

Overruled.

Ms. Porter, you may\Nanswer the question.

But I was clean at the time\Nthat I was drugged.

-How is this relevant?\N-Ms. Porter, please,\Nanswer yes or no.

Yes.

Wasn't ketamine one\Nof the drugs you were\Nadmitted to rehab for?

He's acting like I'm\Nsome drugged out stripper.

It was a part phase.

Have you ever\Nblacked out at work

after taking recreational\Ndrugs of your own volition?

Objection, your honor,\Nrelevance, prejudicial,\Nargumentative, I can go on.

-Mr. Biswas.\N-Mr. Watkins\Nis knowingly playing

into tasteless stereotypes\Nof exotic dancers

that in no way describe\Nthe remarkable woman\Nthat eden is.

[people whispering]

I mean, ms. Porter.

I think this will be\Na great time

to take our evening recess,\Nladies and gentlemen.

We will see you back here\Ntomorrow morning.

And, mr. Biswas,

a word in my chambers, please.

[door closes]

hey.

-We cannot do this right now.\N-Relax, I'm just\Npicking up bailey.

I have an attorney on his way\Nback to my chambers,

so my double-crossing husband\Nbetter find a way to disappear

-before he gets here.\N-"double-crossing?" really?

-[bailey crying]\N-[lola] your daughter\Nseems to think so.

I got the kid,\Nyou keep telling off your man.

Baby, I was just doing my job.

-That's what you call it?\NJust doing your--\N-[bailey stops crying]

[whispering]

-oh.\N-[moses] oh, so cute.

-[bailey laughing]\N-[knocking on door]

robin.

We'll finish this discussion\Nat home.

[moses] come in.

[lola] hmm.

[bailey coos]

[moses] bye, bailey.

Mr. Biswas, I just wanted\Nto check in with you.

As a former dda myself,\Nwho shares your\Nempathetic nature.

I can understand\Nhow defining the boundary

between victim and client\Ncan be challenging.

-She thinks you have the hots\Nfor the stripper.\N-Moses!

What? No, of course, not.

What you saw in court\Nwas passion not lust.

Mr. Biswas, in the interest\Nof a fair trial,\Nare you able to proceed?

Yes, your honor, I will\None hundred percent monitor\Nmyself from here on out.

Glad to hear it.

You may go.

Hey, remind me\Nto make that donation\Nto your daughter's school...

Hey, boss.

I got a grant of immunity\Nfor you to sign\Nfor maddy hernandez.

Why, she agree to testify?

Not yet, she's scared to talk.

An offer for\Nwitness protection\Nmight convince her.

That's the plan, if the feds\Ndon't get to her first.

They already have her sister,\Ngloria, in protective custody.

Well, then you\Nbetter be faster.

Right, I just, I'm, I'm...

Adrianna just texted me.

She's out, she was\Njust here this morning,\NI don't know what happened.

-What? She's our\Nonly eye witness.\N-Exactly. We're doomed.

[singsong] hey, busy bees.

-[normally] tonight's\Nthe night, right?\N-Oh, yeah, drink plans.

[emily] yeah.

-You're bailing?\N-No.

I'm not.

We are just going to kill\Ntwo birds with one stone.

What...

-[sara] let's go,\Ndon't be tardy for the party.\N-Oh.

[hip-hop music playing]

they didn't even card\Nbaby biswas.

Pretty sketchy.

-I can't believe I let you\Nconvince me to come here.\N-Oh, we--

all right, right, ladies,\Nlisten up.

Consent is\Nthe name of the game,\Nso ask before you touch.

And do not set tip rail\Nunless you're\Nsending ones flying.

No less than $10 per dancer\Naccording the stripper forum\NI studied.

Now, I'm going\Nto go grab a stack.

[chuckles]

oh, there she is.

Hey, teddy.

Teddy.

I'll just go\Ntalk to her myself.

-Get... Stop. Get off me.\N-What? Sara.

Sara. God.

Hello, hi.

Adrianna, hey.

What are you doing here?

You can't just show up\Nand drop my real name\Nlike that.

What happened?

I mean, you were so committed\Nto putting franklin away,

and now, you're out,\Njust like that?

I love eden\Nbut I need this job.

Vince fired her this morning.

What?

Wait, who's vince.

Shh, it's our manager.

He texted all the girls

that if any of us showed up\Nat that courthouse,\Nthat we're next.

Turns out, he's the witness\Nfor the defense.

He's testifying tomorrow.

What if I get you a job\Nat a new club?

Money's good here.

And other clubs are worse,\Nbelieve it or not.

I'd rather take\Nmy chances getting\Ndrugged than trafficked.

So if you'll excuse me.

Your word is the only thing\Nto help put franklin away.

My word don't mean shit\Nto a jury.

Sex workers report crimes\Nall the time\Nthat pick up dust.

You know why?\NBecause no one cares about us.

And I was so stupid\Nto think that this time\Ncould be different.

Hey, you won't know\Nif it could be different\Nunless you try.

Look, I'm at work.

So if you\Nwant to keep talking...

[sighs]

[teddy] thank you.

Is that camera recording?

Don't worry, they only\Ncapture the register.

Big brother isn't watching\Nwhat you do with the girls\Non the floor.

Hello, this young man\Nwould love to have

a private dance\Nwith this young lady.

This young man is very content\Nto stay where he is.

No, it is your turn\Nto try and convince her.

Go on.

Have fun.

♪ eh, eh, go on,\N go on, teddy ♪

what?

Mmm-hmm.

[sighs] emily.

Sherri, can you\Ncome in here, please?

-Wh--\N-to say thank you.

For the many hats\NI asked you to wear today.

Baby sitter, bouncer, ja.

Oh, you're going to be late\Ngetting home.

We could both\Nuse a little cooling off.

Yeah, yeah.

[sighs]

that postcard you got\Nfrom your parents seemed\Nto ruffle your feathers.

My feathers\Ndo not get ruffled,\Nthank you very much.

I could've completely\Nmisread the situation.

Specially, considering\Nthe postcard didn't have\Na whole lot to say.

-Your honor,\NI really don't want to--\N-sherri.

I'm listening.

Yeah. Um.

I don't hear from my parents\Nvery often,

so when I do,\Nit usually means something.

And you don't know\Nif that something\Nis good or bad.

Mmm-mmm.

Why don't you call them\Nand find out?

That's complicated.

They're not easy\Nto track down.

But even when I do,

it's near impossible to visit\Nwithout jumping through\Na lot of hoops.

I don't want to overstep.

But I need for you to know\Nthat my support for you\Nextends beyond these walls.

-Thank you.\N-If you ever wanna talk,

I'm here to listen.

[moses humming loudly]

-can it please be time.\N-Oh, it's been time.

Moses.

-[moses] oh.\N-[lola] mmm-hmm.

-You rang?\N-I was very impressed

by how you calmed\Nmy crying daughter today.

Babies and I share\Nan understanding.

My mom owned\Na day care growing up.

And I was an au pair in paris.

Hmm.

I really appreciate you\Nhelping out today,

but, unfortunately,\Nthis will be your last day\Nas my stenographer.

[inhales]

hmm.

You never let those things\Nget in the way\Nof your judgeship.

-Excuse me.\N-I put everything on hold\Nto support your career.

Who's the primary caretaker\Nof our child?

You offered, and I had known\Nyou were going\Nto resent me for it,

I'm carrying everything.

I've been carrying all this.

I asked you take some of it\Noff my shoulders for one day,

so I can do my damn job.

No, not so you could\Ndo your job,

so that you can backstab\Nour best friend.

-"backstab?"\N-yeah.

Really? So every time you hit\Nmark with a "not guilty,"\Nverdict, that's a betrayal?

You know that\Nthat's different.

How is that different?\NMark's not bigger\Nthan the law.

Forget the law, what about me?

Did you ever for one second

stop to think\Nabout the position\Nthat you were putting me in.

I did.

But not as long\Nas it's taking you

to make a decision about you\Ngoing to andre's conference.

That's what this is about,\Nyou did this\Nbecause you're mad?

-I may have overstepped.\N-No, you overstepped.

Big time.

And now, I'm stuck\Nin the middle

between two people I love,\Nnow how is that fair?

It's not.

But it's done.

What do you want me to do?

I want you to sleep\Non the couch tonight.

Seriously?

Fine.

Fine.

And if you wake up before me,\Nhere's bailey's\Nmorning schedule.

So you know what to do.

[sighs]

jesus, teddy,\Nyou scared the hell out of me.

Thank god, you're here.

-Is everything all right?\N-I don't know,\NI need you to see this.

What am I watching here?

I found out they didn't\Ndisclose security footage\Nfrom the private vip rooms,

so scrubbed through\Na few weeks of it off a hunch.

[mark] turn that off.

This wasn't the first time\Nfranklin drugged eden.

He sexually assaulted her\Nnot once, not twice,\Nbut three times, at least.

[softly] shit.

I don't know what to do.

What the hell do we do?

The only decent thing\Nwe can do.

We tell her.

Oh, my god.

Wait, did you sleep here?

I wish, I couldn't\Nget comfortable.

Yeah, mark filled me in,\Nit's horrible.

It got worse.\NThe manager, vince, knew.

Look.

[inaudible]

[teddy sighs]

[inaudible]

oh, this is\Nabsolutely disgusting.

Look alive, maddy's willing\Nto talk about brandon paige.

She's on her way up now,\NI need you to take notes.

[teddy] I can't,\Nnot right now.

Look, I know it's tough,

you can afford to give eden\Na few more moments\Nof ignorant bliss,

I'm not your secretary.

Do you expect me\Nto put a senior dda on this,\Nto take notes?

This is your job, teddy.

Why don't you let teddy\Njust sit this one out?

We deal with\Nunspeakable crimes in this\Noffice on a daily basis.

We put our emotions aside\Nand do the work.

Build that habit today.

Okay.

[whispers] hi.

Brandon would challenge\Na group of kids to rob a store\Nand they'd swarm it.

I never went with them.

Neither did brandon.

They'd bring all the stuff\Nback and store it\Non the attic in his house.

-We have what we need.\N-Go ahead and arrest them.

Maddy, we know\Nthat speaking out\Nagainst brandon is scary

but in witness protection,\Nhe can't get to you, okay,\Nyou'll be safe.

How do you feel?

I'm worried.

I know.

But you did good.

Okay?

Now, listen.

I gave gloria my word\Nthat I would look out for you,

I intend to keep\Nmy promise, okay?

You ready to go?

-Yeah.\N-Let's go.

Teddy, I need you\Nto change the witness name\Non the warrant

from gloria to maddy, okay?

Yeah, of course.

Peace and quiet,\Nwho knew it was possible?

[chuckles]

-sherri.\N-Yes, your honor.

It's okay to not be okay.

Thank you.

[sherri grunts softly]

I think something is wrong.

What can I do?

I think I need to go see\Nif my parents are okay.

Because I won't know\Nthat they're okay until I do.

But there's\Nso much to do here.

That is for me to worry about.

Family first, always.

Take as much time as you need\Nto handle everything, okay?

Okay.

But that means\NI need to leave now.

[exhales deeply]

[softly] okay.

Okay.

Okay.

[teddy] we found footage\Nof mr. Hastings

sexually assaulting you\Nin the private vip rooms.

What does that mean?

How far did he go?

I...

He, uh...

It was digital penetration.

How would I not notice?

[sara] it's likely you were\Ndrugged during\Nthose occasions as well.

What am I\Nsupposed to do with that?

[teddy] you don't have\Nto do anything for now.

My office will pursue\Nmore serious charges.

We can get a bigger sentence\Nand a sex\Noffender registration,

-in addition\Nto the drug charges, we--\N-no.

[sara] what do you mean?

I don't want\Nto go to another trial.

I don't want to go back\Non the stand,

have all this information\Nbe made public.

[teddy] we can put this guy\Naway for years.

[sobs]

[inhales loudly]

I just want this all\Nto be over.

I'm not doing it.

Any of it.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[elevator bell dings]

[crying softly]

[footsteps approaching]

can't shake the feeling\Nthat I signed up for this.

You signed up\Nto sell a fantasy.

What he stole from you\Nwas not for sale.

I just feel so powerless.

I know there's power\Nin pushing forward\Nwith the case.

What if it destroys me?

Well, it's not justice\Nif we lose you in the process.

Protecting yourself\Nis what's most important.

I just don't want\Nto disappoint anyone.

[women talking indistinctly]

well, looks like you haven't.

Won't vince fire you guys\Nfor being here?

Fuck vince.

We are standing with you\Nand whatever you decide to do.

-[sighs]\N-[woman 1] yeah, girl.

-[woman 2] that's right.\N-[woman 3] we got you.

I just threw in\Nto the deep end\Nwith this case, teddy,

but you did a great job.

It doesn't feel like it.

Offering a deal seems wrong,\Nwe can peg franklin\Nfor much worse.

When we have a chance\Nto honor victim's wishes,\Nwe do it.

And this is how she\Nwanted to move on.

Good morning, your honor.

The preliminary hearing\Nin the brandon paige case\Nwas sent here.

What time would\Nyou like to call the case?

Counsellor, I'm impressed\Nby how quickly

you were able\Nto push this case through.

I have trial here until,\Nat least, this afternoon.

Then I'll wait, thank you.

Tell me where\Nthe defense witnesses sit.

Figure it out.

[luke] I'll take it\Nto my client.

The people have footage\Nof you sexually\Nassaulting eden.

-Three times.\N-They're lying.

It's you plain as day.

They're offering a deal.

Prison time\Nwith no sex registration.

No deal, we can win them over.\NBring on the jury.

If you don't take this deal\Nthe prosecution\Nwill charge you

with multiple sex crimes,

and you'll almost certainly\Nlose at trial,

and get more time\Nthan the offer.

My advice is to take the deal\N'cause it's less time\Nthan you...

[whispers] than you deserve.

Okay.

Yeah, I'll take the deal.

[indistinct chattering]

so, oh, come on,\Nwe did the best we could.

You have to be\Nokay with that, seriously.

Oh, my god, sara.

-What?\N-Can we ask you something?

Hey.

It's done?

It's done.

Thought it would\Nfeel better than this.

Yeah, it's only day one.

Give it time.

Thank you for everything.

Why did you want us\Nto meet you outside, anyway?

Figured you earned a show.

[vince] come on, now,\Nyou got to be kidding.

[policeman] anything you say\Ncan and will...

Oh, my god. [laughs]

wait.

[indistinct chattering]

that's great. Oh, great.

You did this?

I handed lapd the footage\Nof vince taking payment\Nfrom franklin,

and that threatening text\Nhe sent the dancers.

He's being charged\Nwith conspiracy\Nto commit sexual battery.

Shedemon327.

-Excuse me?\N-My discord user.

Now that the trial is over,\Nwe can really be friends.

Ah.

Hey.

I got a lawyer\Nin an organization\Ncalled strippers united,

who wants to connect with you.

Wants to help you file\Nand get your job back\Nat the club.

-Let's do it.\N-Awesome.

Come on.

First, I'm taking us\Nall out to celebrate.

I mean, you guys almost\Ncleaned me out last night.

-[eden laughing]\N-[sara] yeah.

On the record\Nin people v. Paige,\Ncase ls210-c32

is present and represented.

The people are represented.

-Counsel, state your case--\N-[door opens]

assistant united states\Nattorney, zoya hameed,

on behalf\Nof the united states.

Your honor,\NI'm filing with the court,\Na mission to intervene,

a mission to transfer,\Nand a five-count\Ngrand jury indictment

just unsealed\Nfrom federal district court.

We are asking this defendant\Nbe removed to federal court\Npending trial.

-On what grounds?\N-[zoya] the da's office

is ill-equipped\Nto handle this case.

Transferring brandon paige\Ninto federal custody

will ensure\Na swifter conviction

which will lead\Nto a much longer sentence.

-What's the people's position?\N-This is a community issue.

If there's one thing\Nthe los angeles district\Nattorney's office can handle,

it's gang activity.

Let us take the shot.

I will rule on this matter\Nafter a brief recess.

[door opens]

how did you get here so fast?

Got an alert\Nabout leftover doughnuts\Nin the judges lounge.

I've been stuffing my face\Nall morning.

Well, praise god for pastries,\Nbecause I need the benner\Nstrain of brutal honesty.

My best advice?

Let the feds do their thing.

They can pack a bigger punch\Nwith a hefty sentence\Nand no parole.

But the da's office\Ngot there first.

If we're going by the book,\Nstate court should\Nget their first chance

at a conviction\Non a public offense.

The feds can wait their turn.

But you're forgetting\Nabout optics.

Ruling in favor\Nof your best friend\Ncould appear improper

and, even worse,\Nif he doesn't win.

Do you trust mark\Nto get a conviction?

You'll make\Nthe right decision.

You always do.

Well, most of the time.

The united states motion\Nto intervene and motion\Nto transfer is denied.

Brandon paige will remain\Nin county custody.

[door closes]

[birds chirping]

[exhales]

hi, it's sherri kansky,\NI have more money this time.

Can I please see my mother?
