All right, Earl.

Next, come on, step right through.

Mick! Mick, I just called you...

Hey, I was just calling you
at the office.

I gotta talk to you.

- Come on, stick with me. - how long
you gonna be in today?

Depends if the judge calls my client.

See, what does this say about me that I
let you treat me like this, huh?

I'm giving you a big cashing whoop in
the world... help me man.

- My daughter's about to go to surgery.
- I've heard it all before, val.

- You understand? - come on. Talk to
me. What do you got?

Okay, I got something big for you.

This guy's gonna be the big money to
Inglewood.

But the problem is, if he goes up
before the judges.

At noon, okay? You listening to me?
- I'm listening.

So, the client, his mother... his
mother comes to the office at 8 am in
the morning...

- and...
- has he already got a lawyer?

Just listen.

Listen, it's not criminal. It's just
real estate, okay?

And I made them so crazy about you...

that they now wanna put up their malibu
beach house against a million.

- The bail's a million?
- yeah, yeah...

- What did they book this guy for?
- well, I'd say it's romantic.

The cops are saying he beat up the girl
really bad, they wanna sell the deadly weapon...

- throw in it the gpis...
- the da filed yet?

See, I take care of my friends. I even
take care of you, bubble.

Inglewood by noon.

Go do it, man. Go do some mid-life.

- Spread the seeds...
- how did you find out? Is this real?

- Don't bullshit me, is this real?
- of course it is, why would I lie to you?

You're gonna take care of me, right?

Make them forget the beach house
and go for my bond?

What's the name?

Louis. Louis roulet.

R o u l e t. Like the wheel.

Alright, spare the wheel, but, you
got it.

Roberto.

[Mexico language]

You mind checking that list? See if our
man uh... harold casey is on it?

Oh, don't go that low... I got a
case across town at noon.

I gotta get to it.

You mind just bringing him down?
It'll just be a sec.

- Reynaldo.
- pardon me?

My name's Reynaldo, not Roberto.

Us bailiffs all look alike, right?

- Your man white?
- Yeah, he's white.

I got blacks down here right now.

Alright, listen.

Reynaldo.

My bad on your name. I do a lot of
askin', I was wrong.

But I didn't forget you at christmas
time, did I?

Remember that giant nut with the prizes,
happy holidays with your friend, Nick?

I went through those pretty fast.

Alright, let's make it two this time.

Okay.

I'll bring your buddy down, but you'd
better make it quick.

Gracias, Reynaldo.

Harold casey.

Yeah, bring him down.

Harold!

Shouldn't be running from your lawyer.
That's bad form.

You know what I wanna talk about?

In a minute, judge powell's gonna call
us down.

He's gonna wanna know if we're ready for
trial.

- We are?
- We are not.

And you know why not.

Rule one, I get paid.

- Or i don't work.
- Don't worry, I got your money.

Exactly, you got it.

- I don't.
- It's coming, I talked to my boys.

Listen, harold, I look down the list
of people I trust.

You're not on it.

The law says you can't just quit.

The judge won't let you.

I looked it up.

Pay close attention.

Michael haller for the defense,
your honour.

If I may, I'd like to carry this over.

You have a reason, Mr. Haller?

Having trouble locating a witness,
your honour.

An indispensable witness, Mr. Green?

How much time do you need?

That's hard to say.

Does the state object?

No, your honour.

Alright, we'll hold this over. Pending
notification from counsel.

That was some bullshit, man.

Oh yeah.

I expect to hear from you, harold.

Inglewood, earl. Keep it on the suburb
streets.

[Phone ringing]

Earl, headphones.

This is haller.

And this is your office.

Uh... actually, i'm in my office,
ms. Lorna. I'm on my way to inglewood.

Listen, jot down and remind me to give
reynaldo...

the bailiff over at san fernando, $200
for christmas, alright?

Got it. Hey, did val reach you about
his customer?

Yeah, 'i got something big for you,
mick! '

Everytime. Any other calls?

No, just some odds and ends.

Pdui's, they just recruited some house
members. Oh...

gloria larson called from county
lock-up.

She got popped again?

The usual with complications.

Coccaine possession. First appearance
is right after lunch.

Tell her, i'll try.

So, i was thinking, boss, you know,
uh...

when you get your licence back, why not
maybe uh... you know, like a stay-on.

- Like permanent things on me, you
know? - I got my licence back 3 months
ago, earl.

Hey, boss. Want me to do something
about that?

'Cos i can.

Uh... keep doing what you're doing.

Boss?

Alright.

Pull over up here.

Councilor.

- Eddie. - how's it hangin'?

Oh, a little to the left, my man. How
about you?

Not bad.

Your car's a little messy.

Yeah, maid didn't come 'til tuesday.

What can i do for you, big man?

Our boy, harold called from the pens,
said you're stalling his case 'til you
see some more 'green'.

I don't get paid, i don't work.

We paid you, $5, 000.

That's long gone, eddie.

Look, i could tell you, the half of it
went to an aerial photo expert.

He's gonna blow the state's case by
showing that the dea violated the air
space...

over harold's farm by flying too low.

I can also tell you that i gotta fly
that guy in from new york city...

get him to testify, put him up in a
hotel, and all that kind of stuff.

But you don't need to know that.

All you need to know is that we had a
deal.

It's time to refill the tank.

What? Another 5 grand?

Ten. He wants to fly business.

He wants first class hotel.

And we want harold back on the farm.

- He's our best farmer, you know what i
mean? - I don't.

And i don't want to.

Now, look.

Either pay me.

Or go with the public defender.

He won't know much about air space,
but...

aren't you gonna count it?

I just did.

Keep that rubber on the road, eddie.

Let's roll, earl.

So, this expert flying from new york.
You want me to pick him up at the
airport?

There's nobody coming in.

The best camera experts in the world are
right here in hollywood.

Nice, you know what?

You would've done alright on the
streets.

Shit... what do you think i am,
earl?

Louis roulet?

Yes.

I'm michael haller.

Mr. Haller. Our guy called you because
i need someone.

This whole thing is a set-up.

I made a mistake with that woman and she
was setting me up...

keep your voice down, hear me?

Don't say anything about the case,
until i get you out on bail.

I understand your family lawyer's in
court?

Yes, his name's cecil dobbs.

- He's here somewhere. - i'll find him.

Tell me about yourself.

- How old are you? - 32.

Ties to community? Did you grow up here?

Yeah, beverly hills. Went to usc.

Work for my mother's business.

What about your father?

He died when i was 2.

How much did you make last year, louis?

The taxes said $600, 000.

I want a lawyer too.

My name's corliss. Who's this?

- You got a card on you? - listen,
buddy, they have a lawyer for you out
there.

Right now, i need you to back away and
give us a little space.

Can you do that, pal?

I'm backing, boss.

Here we go. All good.

There we go.

There we go.

Now, listen, they've uh...

put some heavy charges on you, louis.

The da's probably gonna ask for no bail.

- No bail? - i said they're gonna ask
for it.

When was the last time you were
arrested?

- Never. - so, if i check your record.
...

you'd find parking tickets.

Are you gonna get me out of here?

I'm gonna try, louis.

Are you the prosecutor who used to have
the roulet's case?

Haller.

Son of a bitch.

Rules are rules.

I wanted this one. Okay, okay, i'll
go quletly.

But after today's hearing, if you don't
object...

depends.

You going for no bail?

That won't change with the prosecutor.

Not after what your guy did.

If he didn't?

Sure 'if'.

Bailey picked him in her home with blood
all over him.

I love it when you get sarcastic.

Can i see the arrest report?

You get it from whomever takes over.

No favours on this one.

How's hayley today?

She's good.

Good.

I'll pick her up the usual time on
saturday.

Because of the seriousness of the
offence...

the financial resources of the accused.
...

the state requests no bail.

Your honour, there's no way the state
can claim that my client is a flight
risk.

- He's not. - with resources like this
man has, flight is always risk.

- Are there any priors? - no, your
honour.

Then, i'm gonna reduce the risk of
flight by ordering him to a tracer
anklet...

and i'm gonna set bail at $1 million.

- Judge, have you seen the photo? - ms.
Mcpherson, the bail is set.

Thank you, judge.

Mick, feeling like to thank me and
speak good of me? 'cos this one's gonna
be the money, i'm telling you.

- We'll see, we'll see. - this is the
lawyer right there, cecil dobbs.

Hey, mick, don't forget our deal.

...he's here now. I'll talk to you
later.

- Cecil dobbs. - mr. Haller.

Depressing to see the boy caught up in
that kettle call.

The boy?

I represent the family for a long time.

Listen, my advice is, let val fix you
up the bond.

And you, take the boy home.

Well, we were thinking of putting up
property.

There's the windsors beach house.

Mother's name is windsor?

Her second husband's name.

He's dead now.

Assessing the house could take days.

Trust me, you don't want the boy in the
clean cleveland that long.

So, tap val. Take louis to your
office...

i'll meet you there at 4.

Here, let me give you my business card.

Oh boy.

Media?

Yeah, that'll be on us.

Mrs. Windsor's sensitive about the
press.

I guess there's much we can do about
that.

We'll see.

Say, bob!

Come here. Come here.

Saw you filming in there. What's your
name?

Name's rob gillan. They call me
'sticks'.

Sticks, you freelancing on this?

Yeah, your client's got profile,
figure i'll sell to local news.

- How much? - how much what?

How much they pay you for what you shot
in there?

Uh... that depends.

7... 750?

How about we take it off your hands...

for 8? No?

Too short?

Alright, let's make it a grand.

- Deal? - it's yours.

- So, i can expense this, right? - of
course.

Absolutely.

Thank you, sticks.

Thank you.

You know, mr. Haller... you weren't
my choice.

Bet i wasn't.

Firms like yours must have some heavy
hitters on call.

We do, but louis insisted.

Frankly, i've never heard of you.

But uh... maybe i should have.

Did you say i was louis' choice?

Yes, he read about a case you had.

I need a hundred grand upfront. Working
at $550 an hour...

another hundred if we go to trial.

The motion goes pass a week.

Appeals, we start over.

I take it that's no problem?

- No. - see you at 4.

Where are we heading now?

We gotta go and meet sticks at jim's.

- The same spot? - hm-hm.

Alright.

There he is.

There we go.

Eight for me, two for you.

- Thanks, sticks. - anytime.

- Hm-hm... - hey, hey, my tape!

You don't look good, girl.

Thanks.

Something new?

Booked on possession of coke?

Plus the usual.

I know, it's dumb, it's...

a guy paid me with it and i had it on me
when i went to the next.

And the next was a cop?

Yeah.

Look, can't you get me one of those...
.

Rehab places that get you straight?

We did a pre-child rehab last time. The
da's never gonna go for it again.

- You may have to do some jail time,
gloria. - I can't.

Yes you can. Yes... you can.

Hey... they have programs in jail too.

Look, you've had a long run.

Maybe after this you'll get a life.

Yeah.

Housewife of the year. That's me.

Maybe i can turn some tricks for the
pta.

- It's not funny. - i'd like to see
that.

Alright, alright, give it to me.

Alright, i uh...

i did a guy at the traveller's at santa
monica.

A guy who paid you with coke instead of
money?

Yeah, and he had a show of coke in
there, i saw it.

- You know him? - no.

He reached me from my website. He was
uh...

he's mexican or something.

Did you screen him?

Oh, i screened them all.

Okay, with what? His driver's licence?

His passport. It was uh...

his name uh...

- his name's hector. - hector what?

- Um... - what's his last name?

Think, gloria, think.

Hector arande moya's what you get if you
run a trace.

He's a fugitive from a the grand jury
down in florida.

The da wants him for drug trafficking.

And leslie, they want him a lot.

And your girl's looking to trade?

She gives you his hotel and room number.

- She'll also testify on the coke? - no,
location only.

You guys take it from there.

My best guess is that hector hasn't
checked out yet.

And in exchange?

You drop all charges, all she does is a
pre-child rehab.

The facility at the usc med would be
nice.

Or i can take it to the feds.

They'll cut this deal in a minute.

Alright, you fucking asshole.

After you.

- You'd go head first? - i'd give it a
shot if i was gonna do it.

- Why? - star points.

You're so vain, nobody cares if you
kill yourself.

It'll look cool. What do you think the
last thing that'd go through your mind
would be?

Your asshole.

Mr. Haller.

Louis, good morning.

- Thank you. - it's just a start.

This is frank levin. Frank's my
investigator.

- Louis roulet. - good to meet you.

We're in here.

Got a... tracer anklet.

A present from your friend, val
valenzuela by the order of the court.

As if i'd go any place before this
thing's over.

Gentlemen, welcome.

- Mr. Dobbs. - mr. Haller.

Good to see you. This is frank levin.

Mr. Levin is my investigator. His fees
are in addition to mine.

Of course.

Gentlemen, this is mary windsor. She's
louis' mother.

- Mr. Haller. - mrs. Windsor.

- Pleasure to meet you. - how do you
do?

Fine, thank you. This is frank levin,
my investigator.

How do you do?

The charges against my son are
ridiculous.

So is that woman.

Here's a cheque for you, mr. Haller.

This is going to have to come from your
son, mrs. Windsor.

You can give him the money, he can
write the cheque.

But it must come from him.

He's my client.

And i have to be clear from the start.

I can't thank you enough for being here.

Sincerely, it's good to know that
you're gonna be there.

When we need you.

But not now? Is that it?

No, ma'am. The da can make you testify
about what you hear.

Attorney priviledge does not cover you.

I'll see you at home.

She's not used to being told what to do.

I can believe that.

So, how fast can i go to trial?

I want this behind me.

Are you sure?

You can stretch it out and enjoy your
freedom.

- Most clients choose to... - guilty.
...clients, you mean.

Okay, then i insist on going to trial
right away.

Or perhaps, it never goes to trial at
all?

My firm can bring uh...

considerable influence to bear.

Oh, don't kid yourself, cecil.

There's no way the state's dropping
these charges.

As a matter of fact, they've already
upped them to the negotiating position.

There won't be any negotiating.

No plea bargain, no nothing.

I'm not going to jail for something i
didn't do.

I'm innocent.

And if there is a trial, i wanna take
the stand and tell the jury...

that i'm innocent.

Now, if that's a problem, we can part
company right now.

Time to tell me what happened.

I was having a drink at the association.

The association? The bar on 6th street?

The one with a lot of young women?

Right. Good for pick-ups.

What's the file say about the girl,
frank?

Uh... regina campo.

Known as reggie, 26 years old.

Part time actress, part time office
temp.

And hoping to retire after suing my
client.

Did you know her before last night,
louis?

No. I've seen her around, but...

we never spoke. She was always with
another guy.

Last night too.

I got it that she wasn't into her date.

She brushed by me on her way to the
bathroom.

She basically just laid her address on
me, on a napkin.

She said she could get rid of him by 10.

Do you still have it? What she wrote
down?

No, i didn't keep the napkin.

Check the file. See if the police
report has any of this.

Frank here has already worked us a
little miracle.

He uh... happened to score us a copy
of the discovery file.

Everything the da has.

They would have had to turn it over
eventually, but it would've taken a
while.

No, they don't have the other guy.

They don't even have the bar.

So, what? All they've got is louis
shows up at her apartment...

and she gets beaten?

That is such bullshit.

Just keep telling me your story.

Okay.

I got there early.

And uh, waited until he came out.

Did you see what he was driving?

A blue mustang.

Alright, so he comes out, you go in?

She saw it was me.

And opened the door.

Uh... the hallway was tight.

So i had to... walk pass her, you
know...

she closed the door.

So my back was to her and um...

that was it.

- What was it? - she hit me with
something.

I got down... and verything got black
fast.

Show me where she hit you.

Right here.

Still hurts.

And that blow knocked you out?

Next i know, 2 faggots were sitting on
me. Holding me down.

Police report has it, it's the a
homosexual couple from across the hall.

Like i said, faggots.

I stand corrected. Faggot couple from
across the hall.

Go on, louis.

I was still foggy when the cops came.

My name's officer maxwell, i'd like to
ask you a few questions.

- Can you tell me your name, please? -
reggie campo.

- Do you know this gentleman? You met
him before? - No!

That's when i saw she'd set me up.

- Set it up, how? - she put blood on my
hand.

My left hand.

He said he was gonna rape me.

And kill me.

And then he said he was gonna come back
here and rape me again.

You said she left her door open a crack.

Did you happen to see her face?

Not all of it.

Mainly her eye.

Wait, her left eye?

- Yes. - alright, so she already had
the injuries to the right side of her
face...

she opens the door...

conceals that from him.

And as he enters, she... she
clobbers him.

So, our case is what?

She beat herself up?

If she already had the injuries...

she either did just that or she had a
boyfriend do it.

She must have. I mean, she saw louis'
maserati... his watch.

It's known the family has money.

I weigh you should be filing in civil
court the moment this is over.

Let's hear the police report.

How's reggie telling?

Okay, according to the victim...

she was home alone when the suspect
presented himself at the door...

as someone she knew.

Upon letting him in, she was
immediately struck.

Does it say, he knocked her down?

Yes, there was a struggle that
continued from the hallway to the
stairs.

He held the victim by the neck...

and forced her down. Suspect maintained
the position...

behind her...

holding a knife against the left side of
her throat.

That's not my knife.

His prints all here, frank?

Well, stands to reason, if she put
blood on his hand...

she put his prints on the knife.

I just told you though, that isn't my
knife.

Keep talking frank.

As ms. Campo ran for the stairs...

they fought and she kept the intruder
backwards.

Realising her attacker had her cornered
she fought free and...

reached a nearby bottle of vodka.

And that's when she clogged him.

That's her story.

Those are all lies.

Look, if everything she's saying is a
lie...

then, this is going to be the easiest
case, ever.

But you swear, it's all lies?

All of it?

Are you sure there's not anything...

that you're not telling me?

Nothing.

Why did he choose you, mick?

Rich kid, spoiled as shit... never
heard the word 'no'...

yeah, but the damn thing is, the way
he tells his story, frank.

Just quite enough to be true.

I don't know, mick. This kid feels
wrong to me.

But, i'll check out his story. All of
it.

Start at the association bar.

And then, this regina campo. The way
he said she came on to her...

sounds like a pro.

Yeah, write it down. Also uh... mr...
. mr. mustang?

Alright, i still don't get how that
works.

What? He and reggie got into some rough
train then he punched her?

Unless he was in on it.

Meaning... he hit her afterwards?

Bingo.

Jesus, mick, are you starting to think
louis is innocent?

He just might.

Besides, you know, my father always
said about an innocent client.

No, i've never heard this. Hi...

he said 'there's no client as scary as
an innocent man'.

That's right.

'Cos if you screw up and he goes to
prison... you're never gonna be able
to live with yourself.

So, there's only one verdict you can
put on the board, baby...

and that's an n g.

What do you say, mags?

Frank, if you let a man drive home in
this condition...

i think that i can charge you both.

I'll take him to his house.

How are you gonna get home?

Earl could pick up the car from me in
the morning.

I came with friends.

Later.

No, no, i got this.

I insist.

What?

Moonlight becomes you.

You do not do me any good, haller.

Hey, mick!

Jesus, frank. What couldn't wait?

Wanna watch a movie?

We caught a break.

The owner had a camera system set up
last month.

I had the... security tape transferred
to a disk.

So i could manipulate...

i know this place.

There's our boy, louis.

And i would like you to meet...

ms. Reggie campo.

And there's... mr. Mustang.

- Are you sure? - i wouldn't have popped
a grand for the tape if i wasn't sure.

Now, watch.

Reggie gets up, goes to the ladies
room...

mr. Mustang chats up the bartender. So
that's where he goes...

and give reggie her chance...

watch her.

Wait, that's not how he said it went
down.

He said she gave him her address on a
napkin.

Okay, hold on, hoss... hold on...

let her go pee. Okay, here she comes.

There's your napkin.

Now, watch this.

She and mr. Mustang decided it's time
to split...

look, look... look at his hand.
Look at his watch.

So he's left handed. That's my bet.

Facial blows are from the left. This
guy's right handed.

Mick, you haven't been drinking enough.

You said you knew the association?

You would realise, this shot is into
the mirror behind the bar.

'Cos that's where the owner set up the
camera so he could watch his register!

- Things are backwards. - and mr.
Mustang punches with his left.

Yeah... you proud of yourself,
frank?

I really really am.

But not just about this.

That feeling i had about reggie?

That she was selling it? I did a little
bit of research...

she's our girl.

You tell me the cops don't have this?

How can they? There's only one and it's
not a copy.

Then make a copy.

What? You're gonna give it to the
prosecutor?

Yeah, a new guy named, ted minton.

He's gonna hand over the discovery file.

Oh, poor bunny.

He's not gonna know what hit him.

How long 'til you think your man's back?

Probably just a few more minutes.

Mr. Haller.

- There he is. - sorry to keep you
waiting.

- The discovery file. - i hope this
will be worth your while.

Kinda light.

You have a place where we can play this?

What else do you have?

What else do i have?

Come on, minton. Let's cut the
bullshit here.

Alright? Not only your so-called victim
a prostitute...

but i have her soliciting my guy on
video.

You think the jury's gonna see this...

and think he had to rape her at knife
point just to have sex with her?

No.

Are you listening to what i'm saying?

Yes and it doesn't change the offer i'm
prepared to make.

Offer?

You going forward?

We will drop down to assault with the
deadly.

Attempted sexual battery.

Guidelines put that on... 7 years,
maybe he'll do 4?

What am i missing here?

Hey, frank!

What's up?

Alright, look here. These files look
identical to me.

Alright, there's something we're
missing and we're not seeing it.

Well, here's the discovery file i got
from my clerk in da's office.

And this is the one i got from minton.

Wow... wow... wow...

here we go. Here we go. Here we go.

Son of a bitch.

They switched up the files. This is a
different knife.

- Hm-hm... - i've been taking care of
this guy for 10 years.

And he set me up.

Well, he's off the christmas list.

He's on the shit list.

Good shot!

Looks a little short to me.

You guys finish yourselves. See you
later.

- They've closed down anyway. -
alright.

Louis.

So, what happened? Did you see minton?

Oh, i saw him.

We need to talk.

You lied to me, louis.

You didn't tell me you were paying
reggie campo for sex.

I don't go lookin' surprised. Could've
easily told me that in cecil's office.

I don't want my mother to find out.

Cecil tells her everything.

Oh, so you decided to keep from me the
one thing...

that could've made this trial go away?

- Huh? - is that what minton said?

- No more trial? - i said 'could have'.

If that had been the only lie you told
me.

What do you mean?

Recognise that?

It's a picture of your knife.

The one you had on you when you went to
reggie's.

The one the cops have.

That's why ted minton didn't focus to
answer shit, why should he?

- When he's got a knife with her blood
and your initial? - That wasn't the
knife that was in the file.

That's right, it wasn't.

The file frank got is what we call a
'ioaded deck'.

The cops use it to set us up. To make
us think they didn't have anything.

When in fact, they've got enough to put
your golf playing ass for 20 years, big
boy.

Why did you lie to me about the knife?

Louis, why would you lie about
anything?

Everything you tell me is confidential.
Attorney client priviledges.

Alright, i didn't lie. I said the
knife in the picture wasn't mine.

I said it twice and nobody listened to
me.

What are you now? The god damn lawyer?

You said it wasn't yours...

what you should've said was 'i had a
knife, mick'.

'But this isn't it'.

You brought a weapon to a meeting with a
prostitute.

So, you tell me, how the hell am i
supposed to make that look like she set
you up?

I... did not do this.

It's custom made.

It's a razor tip. It's got your
initials engraved...

on the handle.

I always carry it.

We show homes to people we don't know!

There's one time...

my mother was showing a place.

It was in bel air, so she thought it
was okay to go alone.

- He was there. - who was there?

The man who raped her.

When she didn't come back...

i went to the house and found her.

That's when she stopped showing
property.

And i started carrying a knife.

Always.

- Your mother will have to testify. -
no, no, i don't want that.

I don't give a damn what you want.

You wanna stay out of this shit house,
you do exactly as i tell you...

from now on, you got it?

- Hey... - hey...

success. We had fun.

- Got her? - yeah.

At least you did one thing right, huh?

We did a couple.

Good night.

Well, look who's come calling.

Detective kurlen.

Hey, you been to san quentin, lately?

See our boy, martinez?

I asked you something.

How's martinez doing up there? He made
the pucker-up and kiss me team?

I haven't talked to him.

Right, i guess once they plead guilty
and go down, you don't have much use
for 'em, huh?

But uh...

he's away forever, right?

He got life, yeah.

So, he'll be out in 15.

Too bad, 'cos his victim, donna
renteria, she's dead forever.

How does someone like you sleep at
night?

With all the scum you represent?

Hey, kurlen.

Come here a second.

I had a client once.

He uh... decapitated his ex wife.

- Kept her head in the refrigerator. -
nice, sweet.

The da got greedy.

Tried to pile on 2 unassault murders...
.

Tricked up the evidence, tried to make
it look like my guy did it.

But you got your boy off.

And he's out walking around now, right?

- Well, fuck you, haller. - no, fuck
the da.

And the cops who helped him.

It's called the justice system, kurlen.

It's not the way it's supposed to work.

Well, look who's here?

- Kids... maggie. - hey...

you like a beer?

A cold beer. Scotty!

Oh, we could share this.

No, i'm good.

Alright, alright. We swapped spits
before.

Tell me about your uh... your buddy,
minton.

Who says he's my buddy?

Well, he was saying that you were good.

With that guy, corliss, right?

Yeah.

How did you know?

You'll take the guy's head off first
down.

Hope so. So what uh...

ted talked to you about corliss?

No, no, i sent him to ted.

He thought i was on the case because i'm
his first appearance.

But i should not be telling you any of
this.

No, i knew.

I knew a guy like minton wouldn't have
bothered putting ajailhouse snitch on
the stand.

I mean, that's what he is, right?

Can we just have a friendly beer and not
talk about work?

Let's grab a table up back and grab
something to eat.

We can talk about our daughter?

Okay.

Yeah.

I bet she didn't know 3d movies could be
so much fun.

I was watching her.

- Filling the cup. - right.

Yeah.

Hey, you didn't know minton had corliss
'til i blabbed, did you?

I knew he was on at something.

Screw it, i'm not gonna defend minton.
He fights too dirty.

- Is this from maggie mcpherson? - hey.
...

you know there are lines i won't cross.

Don't you?

Can you give me a lift?

{whispering] she's gonna wake up and
she's gonna see us here.

{whispering] it's not fair.

How did she get in here?

She comes in when she has nightmares.

How often does she have nightmares?

Don't start.

You don't know what it's like to raise a
child alone.

I'll leave. Come back in an hour...

we'll go together to pick up your car...
.

Then, i can take hayley to school.

Just like that? You're gonna start
taking her to school?

Do you remember what we talked about
last night?

Yes, i remember what we talked about
last night.

But i thought you were just trying to
get my head into your case or get me in
bed.

Can't live with you, can i?

No, you can't. Not when you're being a
defense lawyer.

Not when i'm trying to keep dirt bags
off the streets.

And you keep putting them there.

- Heard it all before, mag! - hm-hm.

Donna renteria.

Oh, man, they have my picture
everywhere, man.

They're gonna bring me in anyway, so
i'm fucked.

Thought you told kurlen you were in her
apartment? He didn't have that.

- No, no... - he didn't have it.

He didn't even have any prints.

No, but that's just... it was true...
.

I saw her at the arizona... i was uh.
...

she said, if i paid her more money than
the other guy...

then we can go to her place.

Nobody saw any other guy.

There was another guy! It was... it
was uh...

a white guy. He was right by the bar.

The coroner says her vagina was
brutalised.

Are you my lawyer, man?

- I'm trying to be. - look, when i
left, that chick was fine.

Look, i slept with her, okay.

I did, but i didn't hurt her. I
promise.

Three people saw you throw a knife into
the la river.

- Huh? Help me. - i had that knife in
my car.

I knew they were gonna find it, man.
They were gonna pin it on me.

- I know! - look, if all you did was
have sex with her...

then why didn't you leave any prints,
huh?

- I mean the place was wiped down clean.
- I didn't wipe it down, though!

You left semen on the towel?

You remember that? Did you forget the
towel?

No! I didn't forget anything man!

I ust used that towel, i paid her and i
left.

That defense ain't gonna make.

- Dude, don't say that! - it won't
make, man.

There's not a chance in hell with that
defense.

- You know what they're asking for? -
what?

They want the death penalty, man.

They wanna take your ass down. They
wanna burn you, man.

Listen.

I can see to it that that never...
happened.

But not if you don't plead.

Oh, you want me to say i did it?

There's a deal to be made here.

And i can do it.

I can get you life.

Now, life means you're paroled in 15.

It keeps the needle out of your arm,
man.

It's our only play, man.

This parole... you know what it
means? That means i didn't do it!

That's the best i can get for you, man.

I don't wanna go to jail for something i
didn't do, man.

You know what's that's gonna do to my
mom, bro?

I ain't going to jail for something i
didn't do, bro!

Come on, man.

Please help me, bro. Please help me.

California state prison san quentin

i'm not gonna ask how you are, 'cos i
know.

No, bro.

You don't know.

But i need to ask you some questions,
jesus.

Oh, questions?

Now?

You know what? You didn't ask me a lot
of questions back then.

You never asked me. 'did you kill her? '

No.

Please, i'm trying to make this right.

I need you to tell me what happened at
the arizona bar that night, one more
time.

Please.

She was workin'.

I liked her.

I mean, out of them, i liked her. She
was the one.

You know, she caught my eye.

They were going around in a little
circle, you know.

She was acting all cute and shit.

I don't know how this turns out, you
know...

no, it's fine. You wanna dance?

Yeah, i wanna dance.

I can give you a private dance.

I picked her.

I asked her to dance for me.

#And we started talking. #

#you know, she said that i could take
her home. #

so, how much for me to come over?

Well, usually i charge a thousand. But
for you...

$300, 'cos you're sexy.

#And she was good, man, yeah. #

#so i did. #

but i ain't kill her.

You said there was another guy, right?

Yeah.

She was talking to him.

And then she came back to me.

Okay.

I got some pictures, alright? Some mug
shots.

Jesus, see if you can id...

that other guy at the club.

Tell me if you recognise him.

No.

How about this guy, jesus?

Recognise him?

Uh-uh.

Okay, take your time.

Yeah, yeah. This guy?

Is this the other guy?

Is this guy in the club that night?

Guard!

- Jesus. - having fun?

- Is this the other guy? - why you play
me, bro?

Why are you bothering me with this
anymore?

- Jesus, is this the guy? - what does
it matter, man?

I'm right here. Right where you wanted
me, bro!

Is this the guy? This is the guy?

You know what? I don't trust you, bro!

Jesus, i'm trying to make it right!

- It never will! - interview's over.

Okay, that's my boy, that's my boy...
.

Get out of here, yeah!

Hey! You okay? Where've you been today?

Been trying to call you.

I've been to san quentin.

To see jesus martinez.

About what happened after...

he left donna renteria's apartment.

- After he killed her? - he didn't kill
her, frank.

He went there.

He had sex.

Flushed the condom down the toilet.

Wiped his his print on a pink towel and
he went off.

But he didn't kill her.

Come on, mick, we've been through this
a hundred times.

#The real killer... #

#she let him in. #

#maybe uh... he faked like he was
martinez's friend and acted like he had
an appointment. #

#like the guy in the bar? #

#right. He comes in. He punches her. #

#she's not gonna be like like reggie
campo. #

#cos this time, the bitch pulls a
knife. #

#takes her and puts her on the table.
Puts on a condom and rapes her. #

#and when he's done... #

#she was stabbed... over and over...
#

#52 times like he was something of his
god damn mind. #

do i have to tell you what kind of knife
it was?

A short blade folding knife?

Just like roulet's.

Okay, okay, let's take it a little bit
easier on that, okay?

Why, frank? Why didn't i listen?

Listen, i got a baseball bat if you
really wanna beat yourself up.

I don't wanna beat myself up. Son of a
bitch told me he didn't do it.

Alright? There was the dna.

And there was the knife that ditched.
But there was no way i was gonna listen
to him.

There was no way i would believe that he
didn't do it.

I couldn't believe him!

I couldn't believe, that i actually...
.

Could represent an innocent man.

Just like my father warned me about.

Mick, come on, they all said they
didn't do it.

- You know that. - so, what did i do?

I get him to plead.

I get his sister to beg him to plead.

'Cos he got no case.

So i gave him the best deal i can. You
know, i feel pretty god damn good about
it.

'Cos hey, i got the son of a bitch off
death row.

I got him 15 years instead of the
needle.

Yeah.

I showed him roulet's picture.

Okay.

Roulet is using martinez as the other
guy in the bar?

Like mr. Mustang in this case?

So, he's not just getting off and
killing women.

It's seeing somebody else do the time.
That's his mo.

What did martinez say?

Enough.

Enough for me to know. I gotta... i
gotta find...

what you gotta do, is find a way to put
roulet in renteria's apartment the night
she was murdered.

- That's what you gotta do. - i have to
find a way to make it right, frank.

I gotta make it right.

Well, you can't bring him to the cops
'cos he's your client.

And you can't take him to the da 'cos
you'll lose your licence.

Worse, any evidence we found would be
inadmissible... attorney client
priviledge.

It'll ruin any case that we could ever
have against him.

That's why the son of a bitch hired me.

He's got me in his trick bag.

You got one client in jail

for what your other client did.

What are you gonna do, mick?

- Hey, mick, you okay, buddy? -
frank, frank, listen to me. I got it.

- What? - you know how roulet said all
we'll find on him is parking tickets,
right?

- Right. - i just don't buy that
anymore.

Now, there are others.

Other girls he did.

Renteria and campo, i mean, they look
too much alike.

Like their sisters. And the injury to
the right side of their face is too
similar.

Right? This guy's got a type, frank.

There are other cases out there. And
you can find them.

Now, you gotta do this, i can't.

- I'm his lawyer. - okay, okay, i'm
on it.

Alright. I gotta take this.

- Maggie, hey. - hey, did you get my
voicemail?

Uh, i've been up at san quentin to see
an old client.

How's hayley?

#She's good. She's got soccer this
weekend. #

saturday, right?

- Hm-hm. - i look forward to it.

#Great. Talk later. #

if you're wondering how i got in...

i'm in real estate, so, if i wanna get
into a friend's house...

no, we're not friends.

You're my client.

I'm your lawyer.

My lawyer.

See, that's exactly what i wanted to
remind you of.

I'm about to go on trial.

And yet...

i couldn't reach you.

Now i found out where you were all day.

Heard you tell maggie.

- You shit. - you went to see jesus
martinez.

And i know what you talked about.

Donna renteria.

You're right, mick.

I killed her.

There. No reason why i shouldn't tell
my own lawyer.

Since it's all confidential.

Attorney client priviledge.

Isn't that what you told me?

It's time for you to go, louis.

Alright.

That's a cute picture of your daughter,
hayley.

She's very pretty.

- She's got soccer practice tomorrow,
right? - Don't.

Don't what?

You think you're the first client to
ever threaten me with my family? Huh?

All i said was she's pretty.

Are you scared, louis?

Because where you are, right now...

you're in a very dangerous place.

#So, in conclusion... #

#what this case is about... #

#what this case is all about... #

#is a predator. #

on the night of march 6th...

louis roulet was out stalking his prey.

Now, you're going to hear from the
victim herself, about her lifestyle...
.

One that we would not condone.

But remember.

Anyone.

Anyone.

Can be a victim of a violent crime.

This case is clear.

It's straight forward.

A man attacked a woman in her home.

In order to rape and kill her.

And it is only by the grace of god.

That she's here to tell her story.

Ladies and gentlemen.

My name is michael haller.

And i'm representing louis roulet.

Now, mr. Minton...

doesn't wanna use the word prostitute...
.

For the woman who was supposed to be
louis' victim.

He needn't worry.

Because this case isn't about how she
makes her money.

This case is about her actions.

How she saw a man with signs of wealth.
...

as a ticket out of the life she was in.

And chose to target him.

Now, what she didn't count on, was
you.

How you put two and two together...

and let your common sense tell you...

who the real predator is, in this case.

Thank you for your time.

The court will adjourn until monday.

And the state will call its first
witness.

Go, hayley, go! Turn, turn, turn!

Left foot! Left foot!

Hey, mick.

Hey, maggie.

What are you doing here?

I'm gonna take hayley home.

You've got some place to be.

What are you talking about? What
happened?

Hey, hey, sir, stop.

That's my family.

- Sir! - family.

- This is a closed crime scene. -
sorry, name's mick haller.

- Sobel, sobel! - yeah, yeah, yeah...
.

Listen, slow down a second.

- Slow down. - what happened?

Somebody shot him. In the chest and the
head.

And they shot the dog too.

His body is right in front of the door.

Great, this is just what we need.

So you've uh... been here before.
You can tell us if anything is unusual.

Anything weird?

Like, throughout this whole house...

why is it that all i see are pictures of
this guy?

My partner's asking if frank levin was
gay?

- Is that relevant? - yeah, it's all
relevant.

He's an ex cop.

Cops against persons in chicago.

Is that botch enough for you, lankford?

I don't see anything that i can help you
here.

Alright, hey, haller.

I don't need to tell you to stick around
town, where i can find you, do i?

Am i a suspect?

When do you retire, lankford?

- When do i retire? - yeah.

18 months, why?

I make sure i show the next one so i can
kick your ass.

Val!

Hey, mick! The hell you banging on the
door like that for, man?

Are you nuts?

Dude, dude, you look terrible.

Frank levin was murdered.

Oh man, i'm sorry.

- I'm sorry to hear that. - roulet did
it.

Roulet? I thought you and frank were
defending him? Why would he take frank
out?

That makes no sense.

You know, val. I figure you know
exactly how it went down.

How would i know about it? What are you
talking about?

'Cos you lied to me.

You didn't send me the roulet case.

- He asked for me. - okay, okay,
that's true, man.

But you know what i said? 'haller's your
man, go for haller'.

I did that for you.

You lied to me once.

So what? Do you think i would lie about
this?

Give me a little respect, give me a
little credit. I'm not gonna lie about
this kind of shit.

The police checked the tracer that you
put on roulet. It says he was no way
near frank's house.

So maybe it wasn't him, mick.

Maybe it wasn't him. Nobody can beat
the tracer, huh?

It was him. Roulet killed frank.

- It was roulet. - i don't like the way
you're following me...

i don't like the way you corner me,
man. I don't like the way you're
talking to me, okay?

Roulet killed frank, val.

What do you think? You think i cut the
kid loose, so he could murder frank?

Crazy roulet killed frank!

Mick, i'm sorry about frank, but i
didn't do it, man.

You're the only one that could've taken
it off him.

Being married to you sucked. But being
your car service...

maggie.

- Yeah? - you know what i used to be
afraid of, maggie?

Yeah... me.

That i wouldn't recognise the innocents.

That they'll be right there in front of
me, but i just wouldn't see it.

Yeah.

You know, when i talked to minton...

guilty or not guilty, just as innocent,
you know?

You know what i'm afraid of now?

Evil.

Pure evil.

Maggie...

did i get frank levin killed?

Micky, no.

#New message, yesterday, 11:07 am. #

#mick, it's me, i tried you on your
cell... #

#sorry to interrupt your date with
hayley, but... #

#you asked me to do some digging? On
roulet? #

#well, i might have found martinez's
ticket, micky. #

#his ticket out of quentin. #

#uh... someone's at the door. Look,
you go and you have a good time with
hayley. #

#and i'll fill you in when i know it's
for sure. #

#i gotta go. #

[phone ringing]

- Detective sobel. - sobel, mick
haller here.

Listen, i just checked my messages.

It turns out, frank called me just
before he was killed.

The message came in at 11:07.

He said he found something. Something
that could help an old client of ours
get out of prison.

#Okay, who's the client? #

#jesus martinez. He's in san quentin. #

okay, did he say anything else?

Yeah, he made ajoke.

Uh... he said something about finding
martinez's ticket out of the queue.

And then someone came to the door.

That's when he hung up.

Listen, whoever came to the door...
that's your killer.

Okay, you got me a copy of the tape.

#Yeah, i'll give it to you right away.
#

how is it going with the case? You
getting somewhere?

Yeah, uh... we did catch a break.

We found a bullet casing in the room
from a. 22.

That's good, frank levin owned a. 22.
You'll find one registered to him.

#Yeah, we did, but uh... #

- it wasn't a muslin. - a what?

A colt woodsman.

It's an old antique job.

#That's the gun that killed him. #

morning, mick.

It's too bad about frank levin.

Got any idea who did it?

Yeah, i'm pretty certain i do.

Mr. Talbot.

You were with ms. Campo on the night of
march 6th.

Yupe. We went on a date to the
association.

Then i took her back to her place.

For another date.

And, did you have sexual relations?

About four hundred bucks worth.

And she earned every single cent.

What time did you leave her apartment?

Oh, i don't know uh... about 5
minutes before 10?

Did she say whether she had another
appointment?

Oh, no, no, she acted like she was
done for the night.

Objection, your honour.

I don't think mr. Talbot's qualified to
interpret ms. Campo's thinking or
plans.

I mean, she acted satisfied.

Sustained. Go on, mr. Minton.

When you left, mr. Talbot.

What condition was she in?

Was she hurt?

No, she was fine.

She did not look like this?

Man.

What kind of sick bastard that did
something like that?

Answer the question.

No.

No, we made pleasurable and consensual
love.

I mean that's what life's all about,
right?

Mr. Talbot, are you a right handed?

Or left handed?

Left.

- Left? - yeah.

Isn't it true that before you left ms.
Campo's apartment...

she asked you to repeatedly strike her
in the face with your left fist?

Your honour, mr. Haller's just
muddying the water without rigid
statements.

It's part of the defense theory, your
honour.

The witness can answer.

I'm sorry.

Can you repeat the question?

This is by your hand, isn't it, mr.
Talbot?

Admit it, this whole thing is a set-up.

By you and ms. Campo.

Framing my client, louis roulet, isn't
it?

I never hit her. Or any other woman,
you understand?

You know a prostitute named shaquille
barton?

Working name is uh... shaquilla
shackles?

Yeah, yeah, i seen her once.

And if i brought her in here, can she
say 'yes, mr. Talbot, he did strike
me'?

- With his left fist, in my face? -
she'd be lying.

I tried shaquilla once.

I'm not into that rough stuff.

I'm a missionary man.

It's a strong left.

Am i on trial here?

Not yet.

Good afternoon, detectives.

What can i do for you?

This warrant is bullshit.

Well, it's good enough to search your
house.

It would've been smart if you'd told me
that you had a woodsman?

There's one registered to you.

Let's go for a drive.

Alright.

Let's bag the box.

Can't do ballistics on a box, can you?

Modern technology.

So uh, why didn't you report this
stolen?

I don't know.

Maybe i should have.

You think?

Still and all, we're gonna have a look
around the place, huh?

Go crazy. You got the warrant.

Alright, start with the couch.

Sir?

Stand up.

Hey, you know, we got a history on the
piece.

Turns out, it once belonged to micky
cowen?

The gangster from the '40s?

I know. My father, he uh...
represented him.

Got him off for using it for self
defence, so...

micky made him the present of it.

Nice present.

Pearl handle, collectors' piece.

How sweet.

You know, that uh... that micky
cowen shooting...

it's... it's pretty famous.

It turns out that the county, still has
the evidence on storage.

- The bullet. - you can match the
casing from a slug that's 50 years old?

It would be easier with the gun, but...

Yeah.

How long will ballistics take?

Hey, mick.

I got something for you.

You asked me to find out that witness'
name.

Is it corliss?

Dwayne geoffrey corliss. Right.

He's a low life type. Not much came up.

But, sometimes he goes by dj.

With punctuation? And when you read it
that way...

tell me.

Well, he's played the courtroom snitch
a lot.

Here and in arizona.

Both times, they got him early release.

Alright, this could be good.

All i gotta do is find him.

They put him on a pre-child rehab at
usc.

I just got lucky.

There she is.

How are you, sweety?

You alright?

Alright, listen.

I'm actually not in here about you.

I need you to do something for me.

Keep moving!

Let's go, let's go!

Stay on the wall, all the way down!

That's the bucks, boys, let's go.

Stay on the line.

Corliss, right?

I only came to say what is required.

Rusky! Ready for the line!

You don't know me.

You talk to the da...

he can get a way to get both of us out.

Step through!

So, haller, you had an interesting
visitor last night.

Worry about yourself, ted.

You're dying the death of a thousand
razors up there and you don't even know
it.

Class witness, your honour.

The prosecution calls regina campo.

It's true that i uh... lied to the
police.

I knew the defendant when he came to the
door.

Ms. Campo...

why did you lie?

Because i'm scared.

I didn't think the police would believe
me...

and i wanted to make sure they arrested
him.

'Cos he's an animal.

- Do you regret your decision now? -
yes.

If it helps him get free and do this to
somebody else.

That's prejudiciary, your honour.

Sustained.

I have no further questions for ms.
Campo.

Your witness, mr. Haller.

Ms. Campo.

Have you engaged to an attorney?

To sue... louis roulet for the events
that happened on the eve of march 6th?

No, i haven't.

Have you talked to an attorney?

I haven't hired anyone.

No, have you talked to one?

About a possible lawsuit?

It was nothing more than talk.

Did you ask him if you could sue him for
damages?

I thought what you say to lawyers is
private?

If you wish, you can tell the jurors.

I think i'd like to keep it private.

Let's talk about the night at the
association bar.

Have you ever seen louis roulet before
that night?

Yes, there and other places.

Ever noticed that he wore a rolex watch?

No.

Or that he drove one of 2 vehicles?

A maserati and a range rover?

I never saw him driving.

And what made you approach him?

I saw him leave with girls uh... who
do what i do.

With prostitutes?

Then go to a hotel or one of their
apartments, right?

I don't know where.

Well, how do you know they left?

Maybe they just went out for a smoke?

Because, i saw them getting in his car.
...

- and drive away. - no, wait a minute.

You just testified that you had never
seen mr. Roulet drive.

Now you're saying, yes, you did see
mr. Roulet get in his car

and leave with a prostitute like
yourself?

Which one is it?

I saw him get in his car, but i didn't
know what kind of car it was.

You know the difference between a
maserati and a range rover?

One is small, one is big, i guess.

Okay.

The other women.

Had left with louis.

When you saw them again...

did any of them ever have injuries or
any of them beaten?

I don't know, i didn't ask.

But girls in your profession, you do
talk to each other...

about customers, right?

You warned each other... if someone's
a freak or something?

Yeah, usually.

And did any of them ever warned you or
have one bad thing to say about louis
roulet?

No.

No one.

So you believed you'd be safe?

I thought he was a known quantity and i
needed the money, so...

so you thought, he could solve your
problems with money?

- No! - no?

Isn't that why you're sitting here?

Because you zeroed in on him.

No!

I mean, yes, but it wasn't like that.

He attacked me. I swear.

And... alright, let's pause that
right there.

Just to confirm... this is you?

Right, ms. Campo?

Yes.

What was on the napkin?

My name and address.

And your price?

Yes, $400.

It's a hard line of work.

Yes, and dangerous.

In fact, haven't you told your friends
many times...

that you were looking for a way out?

I'm not proud of what i do.

I know.

And isn't it true...

and nothing will be easier to
understand...

that you saw louis roulet and his money
as that way out?

No! That's not what this is about!

Are you not listening to me?

No further questions, your honour.

Mr. Minton.

Do you have another witness for us?

Minton looks worried.

Not worried enough.

No.

The state rests, your honour.

Then the defense will call its first
witness after lunch.

Yes, i recognise this knife.

It's the one that my son has carried
with him for protection.

For the last 4 years, almost exactly.

Why would he need protection?

Realtors alone in the house are
sometimes robbed or...

hurt?

Even raped or murdered.

Has louis ever been subject to such
crime?

Oh no.

But he knew someone who was.

Raped and robbed by a man.

Louis found her.

It was terrible.

So, the first thing he did afterwards,
was getting himself a knife.

To carry it with him at all times.

Thank you, ms. Windsor.

I have no further questions, your
honour.

Your witness, mr. Minton.

Ms. Windsor.

You seemed pretty exact about when it
was your son started carrying around
this...

this weapon.

- A five inch folding knife. - yes, i
am.

The incident took place on june 9th,
2007.

Was it in the newspapers?

Do you somehow remember it because...

the police came to talk to louis?

No, there was no police investigation.

Then, how do you remember the exact
date?

Were you given it before your testimony
here today?

I remember the date because...

i'll never forget the date i was
attacked.

And louis won't forget it either.

He found me in the house tied up.

My clothes were ripped.

It was traumatic for him.

Mr. Minton?

Is there anything else you wish to ask?

No, your honour.

I've been thinking about
those thousand razors?

We've hads an offer.

You spend 6 months in the county jail.

Like i told you from the beginning.

No deals, no bargaining, i'm innocent.

Save it. You make the call. I don't
give a shit.

- You got my answer. - yes, i do.

I'll pass it along.

You do that.

Oh, louis.

Tomorrow...

i'm putting you on the stand.

I'm ready.

Oh, you'd better be.

Hey, earl.

There's something, i need you to get
for me.

Your honour, the defense calls louis
ross roulet.

I knocked uh... she looked through her
side window...

and saw that it was me.

And opened the door.

Then, i walked pass her towards the
living room.

What happened next?

Something hit me from behind.

I blacked out.

I have no idea for how long.

- Is that all? - when i woke up, uh...
.

Two guys were sitting on me?

Telling me not to move.

I couldn't anyway. I was...

i was scared.

But you had blood on your sweater.

And on your left hand.

Someone put it there because i didn't.

- You didn't strike ms. Campo with your
left fist? - No.

- Threatened to rape her? - no...

- threatened to kill her? - no! I am not
that guy!

I...

do you have any idea what it's like...

to be accused of something like this?

To sit there... and listen to people
tell lies?

About you? About you having done
something this sick and depraved?

Call you an animal?

Talk about your sex life, humiliate
you?

Listen, i understand the process. I
know i had to sit there...

and better be qulet.

And wait my chance.

But if guilty people have rights, what
about innocent people?

I am innocent.

I'm innocent and i want this behind me.

I have no further questions, your
honour.

According to you...

ms. Campo... punched...

herself?

Or she had... someone she had never
met.

Violently and visciously beat her as a
part of a set up?

All i know is i didn't.

This knife that you always carry...

how did she know she'd find it on you as
part of the set up?

Guess she couldn't. Could she?

I never take it out.

I never show it to anyone...

so, she must have just found it in my
pocket after...

she or whoever knocked me out.

- Isn't that right? - i would prefer if
i ask the questions.

Okay.

Mr. Roulet, i'd like you to take uh...
.

Take a look at this photo.

Tell me again.

Do you think, regina campo would or
could...

have done this to herself?

I don't know who did it.

But it wasn't me.

Nobody deserves that to happen.

What do you mean by 'deserves'?

Do you mean... crimes of violence...

only comes down to a woman getting what
she deserves?

I mean, no matter what she does...

or who she is.

No woman deserves that.

I have nothing further, your honour.

Mr. Roulet, you're excused.

Thank you.

The defense rests, your honour.

Before deciding to rest this case, the
state would like to take the night,
your honour.

For what purpose?

To consider a rebuttal witness.

What witness is he talking about?

I have no idea.

The court will adjourn 'til 10 o'clock
tomorrow.

- Morning, bill. - morning.

I'm gonna go grab some coffee. You want
some?

No, man, i'm off caffeine.

Right, is that the custody list?

- Yeah. - let me see if i any of my
clients are on there.

Sure.

Corliss, dwayne.

Lorna, minton's putting corliss on.

- He's already in lock-up. - but that
is great!

Yeah, it's good. How did it go with
you? You served kurlen?

- Yes, i did. - okay.

I'm going back to court now.

Stand by.

Okay.

Hey, haller, what is this bullshit?

I have nothing to do with this case?

Subpoena to appear as a witness.

You'll just have to wait and see.

It's a legal document, detective.

Hey.

Glad you made it.

- Is he looking romantic. - ever so
specially.

See you later.

Mr. Minton.

Does the state have any rebuttal?

The state intends to call dwayne
geoffrey corliss, as a rebuttal
witness, your honour.

Judge, who is this witness?

And why wasn't i told about him until
now?

Bailiff?

Remove the jury.

A fair question.

Mr. Minton?

Dwayne corliss is a co-operating witness
who spoke with mr. Roulet in custody.

- Following arrest. - that's a lie! I
didn't speak to anyone!

Qulet, mr. Roulet!

Mr. Haller, control your client.

Let me take it from here.

Judge, i share my client's outrage.

How long has the state been sitting on
this testimony?

Mr. Corliss just came forward
yesterday, your honour.

Yesterday?

This is incredible.

Do you want to go back and talk to him?

Give him the time? I'd allow it.

No, you know, thank you, though,
judge.

I think we all know what this is.

Mr. Minton's putting ajailhouse snitch
on the stand.

Everything he says will be a lie.

- That's groundless, your honour. - i
want my objection noted.

Then, i'm going to rule.

He can testify.

Call the jury in.

May i ask one indulgence, your honour?

May i step into the hallway and...

make a call to an investigator for
whatever good it may do at this late
date?

Thank you, your honour.

Yupe, i'm here.

Come into the court house at exactly
10:15 with the printouts.

Mr. Corliss.

Are you incarcerated at this time?

Um...

no, now, i'm just in the courtroom.

But you are currently being held in a
jail ward at usc hospital, correct?

Yeah, since i got arrested.

For burglary and drug possession?

That's right.

Now...

do you know the defendant?

Yeah.

I met him in lock-up.

We've had a stopover from jail.

Then we were together in the tank when
we came for first appearances.

Talk at that time?

Yeah.

Talk about how bad are the cigarettes.

Anything else?

Uh... you know... what are you in
for?

Like that.

And... did he say what he was in
for?

He said, for giving a bitch exactly
what she deserved.

Those were his words.

For giving a bitch exactly what she
deserved.

Now... have i or anyone else promised
you anything in exchange for your
testimony today?

No.

Just the right thing to do.

Thank you, your honour.

How many times, have you been arrested,
mr. Corliss?

About 7 times in l. A.

Couple more in phoenix.

And new york, if you wanna count those.

Yeah, so you know how the system works,
yeah?

I tried to survive.

Does that sometimes mean ratting out
fellow inmates?

Your honour, i object.

Take a seat, mr. Minton.

I gave you leeway for bringing this
witness in.

Thank you, your honour.

But i'll rephrase.

What i'm asking you, is how many times
have you snitched...

on a fellow inmate?

- This makes me four. - this makes your
fourth time?

Four times you've testified?

For the prosecution? Against a fellow
inmate?

Makes you a popular man, mr. Corliss.

Sounds like people just come up to you.
...

and they tell you the crimes they've
committed...

so you can come in here and testify
against them.

People talk to me. I'm a friendly guy.

You're a friendly guy?

Can you say you and my client were
friends?

Louis roulet?

So he just said to you...

what you just told us and told the jury
that...

that he gave a woman what she deserved?

And then the two of you are back to
talking about cigarettes?

Not exactly.

It's like he was braggin'.

Told me he did it before.

He said the other time, he killed the
bitch.

Got away with it then.

Can get away with it now.

Mr. Haller?

I have no more questions, your honour.

Redirect, your honour.

- What the hell is this? - you tell me.

What the hell did you say to this guy,
huh?

Nothing. This is a set-up.

- And you're doing this. - how?

How am i doing this?

Huh?

You said he was bragging.

- How? - well...

like he told me the details.

Of the other one.

That he killed.

She was a... dancer...

at some club.

And she had...

sexy snake tattoo wrapped around her
body.

Did he say anything else?

Hm... no.

No.

Snake girl stuff was it.

How does he know this, louis?

- You think i know? - if you didn't tell
him that shit, somebody did.

Better start thinking about who that
could be.

Then i have no further questions, your
honour.

Any re-crossing from the defense?

- A moment with my staff, your honour.
- Be quick.

Is it all here?

- Yeah. - okay, good.

Listen, you go on now, leave the
building. I don't want anyone asking
you questions, got it?

- Okay. - alright.

Dwayne.

Mind if i call you that?

Sure, man.

Wow on the assistant.

You're a funny guy, dj.

Dj.

Isn't that what they call you uh...

for example, down in phoenix?

Maybe.

And my assistant, one whose numbers you
want...

she was reading on a uh...

on the internet about a dj corliss.

Arrested in 1989 on drug charges,
hometown imesa, arizona?

Oh yeah, that'd be me.

So you remember fred bentley, right?

Uh... your honour...

where's the defense going with this?

Make a connection soon, mr. Haller.

But the witness will answer.

- I don't remember any bentley. - sure
you do.

You testified that he confessed to you.
...

the crime that he was charged with.

Raping a 10 year old girl.

But he denied it in court.

Are they ringing any bells?

Dj?

1989, i was high a lot. I don't much
recall...

i would like you to read this for us.

Your honour, this is a news report from
the arizona star 1997.

8 years after mr. Bentley was
convicted.

I ask that you admit it into evidence.

Your honour.

A news report?

Let's see where it takes us.

- Let's take it objectively. - thank
you, your honour.

If you could read this for us.

Mr. Corliss... i've highlighted
the part i'd like you to read.

- I'm not good at reading. - that's
okay.

You take your time, we'll make it
through it.

A man, frederick bentley...

wrongly convicted of rape was released
saturday after...

conclusive dna results cleared him of
the crime.

The case was bolstered at trial by

a testimony from an informant...

dj corliss in may 7th, who had claimed
bentley bribed him about the rape...

- altogether in a holding cell... -
that's enough.

Thank you.

Mr. Corliss.

Were you charged with perjury...

in this incident, dj?

No, i was not.

Is that because the prosecution was
complicit to your confession?

- Judge! - were you promised the same
thing here, mr. Corliss?

- To say that louis roulet bribed you to
lie now... - alright, mr. Haller,
alright, mr. Haller, let it go!

Sorry, your honour.

I have no more questions.

I'm excusing the jury for an early
lunch.

Bailiff, see them out.

Mr. Minton.

Do you know what you have done?

You put a documented liar on the stand.

A man with a record of putting innocent
people in prison!

- Your honour... - shut the hell up,
when i'm talking to you.

I can think of nothing...

more prejucicial or corrupt...

than what i just saw out there.

Do you realise, what you have done to
my trial?

He's gonna talk to his boss.

To decide what they wanna do when the
judge comes out for directive verdict.

What's a directive verdict?

It's when the judge takes the case from
the jury's hands.

Clears acquittal.

Oh my god.

It's no more than a few minutes.

I wanna know, how corliss got that shit
he's saying.

Maybe frank levin told him.

Maybe he found something, he gave it to
corliss.

And that's why you killed him.

Court's back in session.

Your honour, i spoke with the district
attorney.

The state wishes to dismiss all charges.

You have the motion in front of you.

This is a motion to dismiss with
prejudice.

Case closed.

Yes, your honour.

Mr. Roulet, you're free to go.

Court's adjourned.

Mr. Haller.

Thank you so much for my son.

- You're welcome. - you were splendid.

Thank you.

I want the gun.

Of course you do.

I wanna talk.

Mr. Haller. I insist you join us for
dinner tonight.

- For a celebration. - i don't think
so.

Louis roulet.

You're under arrest.

What do you think you're doing?

- Hands behind your back. - what's the
charge?

He's under arrest for the murder of
donna renteria.

Everything that man said was a lie!

You have the right to remain silent.

You have the right to have an attorney
present during questioning.

If you give up that right, anything you
say can and will be used against you in
the court of law.

Do you understand your rights as i've
read them to you?

Hey! Look at me.

Do you understand your rights?

Detective, can i have a word with him?

Well, that's it, louis.

I got you off.

Time to find yourself a new lawyer.

I've still got your gun.

And you're gonna have to explain how you
got it.

Thank you, detective.

Come on, louis.

- Mary... - not a word. You get my
kid out ofjail.

Haller... you are one messed up son of
a bitch.

First you get your client off.

For assault.

Only to burn him for murder.

You don't have enough to charge him for
the renteria murder, do you?

Yeah, we got enough to screw with him.

There's no way the da was letting roulet
walk out of here...

not after what just happened.

I don't get you, haller.

Whose side are you on, anyway?

God damn it.

Earl!

Dude...

hey, i'm sorry boss. I stepped away
for half a minute, alright?

Alright, alright, alright.

Just take the ticket out of my pay,
alright?

You don't make enough.

- This one's on me. Let's roll. -
alright.

Alright, let's go to the house, earl.

- Hey, boss. - hm-hm?

You know you had a favour you asked me?

The guy i know, he picked it up on the
street.

Real clean.

Hey, boss. Be careful, alright?

Yes, sir!

Mick, it's me. I tried you on your
cell...

sorry to interrupt your date with
hayley, but...

you asked me to dig on roulet?

Remember? You said you didn't buy it?

That all he had was parking tickets?

Well, i might have found martinez's

maggie, i got it.

I think i know why frank levin got
killed.

- Yeah? - alright, call lankford, have
him pull up roulet's driving record.
Every ticket he ever got.

That's what frank did. He said he found
martinez's ticket out of the q... i
just never knew what he meant.

Okay, done, but i have to tell you
something.

They let roulet go.

Hm-hm... they didn't have enough to
hold him.

You're right. I guess it's best i got
involved.

Maggie, is hayley with you?

She's at my sister's, why?

Go to your sister's. Stay with hayley.

And wait for my call. You got it?

Okay.

Val, it's mick haller.

Oh, hey mick.

I haven't heard from you since you
busted into my office...

and accused me of conspiracy to commit
murder, huh?

You know, if i have any self respect,
i'd hang up on you right now.

Wait, wait, frank died, alright? I
was out of my head.

- I need you to do me a favour. - oh,
you need a favour?

You know, you got more balls than a
chinese ping pong tournament, okay?

- I can't do that. - alright, listen,
you can kick my ass later, alright?

It's important. Is roulet still
weearing the tracer?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he is.

I gotta call him he's coming in the
morning to get it off.

- Guess you kicked him, huh? - yeah, i
need you to track him for me.

Oh, i can't, i can't, i got little
betty coming in a few minutes.

Val, val, stop whatever you're doing.
I need it, man.

I need you to do it now.

It's about my family.

Yeah?

It's me. He's heading out north on san
fernando.

Mick, mick, i think he's headed for
your house.

You want me to call the cops for you?

- Bullshit. - i'm telling you, he's
just passed down the stadium.

No, no, no. He's not going to my
house, val.

Oh, hey, hey, hey...

you're right, you're right. He's just
drove passed your street.

He's not headed for your house.

I know where he's going.

Hello?

You're welcome.

Not, it's alright,
don't worry about it.

Hello, Louis.

My famiIy's here.

I know.

Bring your knife?

And my gun?

Maybe.

Good.

'Cos I brought this.

You got one chance to turn around and
Ieave.

And then what?

You gonna keep coming back every night?

Everyday?

Or, just try to get me sent up to San

No.

I'm not quitting untiI Martinez is free

And when that needIe goes in your arm. .
.

That wiII be me.

WeII, why don't you just shoot me right

I don't think I'II have to.

Hey!

That's my car!

What are you doing?

It's Louis' car, man!

Come on, now. Get him up. Get up!

HospitaI, not the morgue.

Hey, Mags.

You were right, Mick.

RouIet got a ticket outside of
Renteria's apartment on the night that
she was murdered.

It's aII gonna be on the DA's desk in
the morning.

Where are you?

Just about home.

So, what do you say, I come pick up

You need to get the heII out of my
house, Ms. Windsor.

You knew. You set him up.

The onIy person that was set up here. .
.

Was me.

And how did that turn out for you?

You have no idea who we are.

I know that your son, Louis is going
down for the murder of Donna Renteria.

I aIso know that I'm gonna burn his ass
for kiIIing my friend, Frank Levin.

- He didn't kiII him. - Yes, he did.

He beat the tracer, and he kiIIed him.

Look, I'm not gonna taIk about it with
you.

And for the Iast time. . .

Get the heII out of my house.

You're not Iistening to me.

No, you're not Iistening to me.

Ms. Windsor, get the heII out of my

Hey boss! FeeIing aIright?

Yeah, EarI. SoIid.

I heard down at the court house.
Martinez is out, is that right?

Yes, he did.

Do you think he wiII pay for what he

Nothing is free.

Hey, boss, we got some company.

PuIIover here.

- What you say, Eddie?
- Did you gather your team?

You really shot the client's mother?

Right. She shoot me first.

Well, my boys, Harold...

- He had a difficult case
- How a file?

He needs your helps, Counsellor.

Ok. Call me the details.

... I have to say that the situation
goes on like this.

We have deserved a discount!

I tell you what.

How about I do this one for free?

You sure you feel allright?

Repetitive customers, Earl
Next time double.
