PILOT [over radio]:
Almost to altitude.

Three minutes to jump.

We're all good!
Looking forward to this, Walt.

Yeah, whoo!

12,000 feet!

You guys pumped?!

I am so pumped, Governor!

DEAN:
Ha-ha!

I just wanted
all of you

to experience
this thrill with me.

Because I know,

the next few weeks,
it might feel like a free fall.

But we're gonna get
through it, okay?

And why is that?PILOT: One minute to jump.

Because we're a team.

No, we're family.

And that's what
families do.

Families stick together.
Am I right?

Right! Yes, sir!Am I right?

Yes, sir! Yes!

Do you know when
it's gonna happen, sir?

DEAN: Ronnie thinks
it's gonna come out

in the next few days.

WALT: Here we go!
All right!
Whoo!

Governor Whitfield,
you'll be up first,

and I'll be right behind you.

See you on the ground,
Governor.

Ha-ha! Geronimo!

[whooping]

[whooping]

Yeah!

[grunts]

[cords snap]

[gasping]

Help! Help me!

Help me!

I can't let this happen!

Help!

Help me!

Help me! Help me!

I got you! I got you!

DEAN: Help me!WALT: I got you!

Just hold on!

Governor Whitfield was
an experienced skydiver,

having jumped
several dozen times.

The FAA recently concluded
that the governor's

primary and reserve parachutes
both malfunctioned.

Walter Hyland,
owner of Hyland Skydiving,

apparently died heroically
while attempting to rescue him.

The dive was supposed to be
a team-building exercise

with his chief of staff
Travis Robbins,

treasurer Avery Tottenham,

and lieutenant governor
Garrett Aiken,

who has since been sworn in
as governor of Connecticut.

Now, five months
after the accident,

jury selection begins
in the wrongful-death lawsuit

filed by the late governor's
widow, Addison Whitfield,

against the skydiving company.

This lawsuit is not about
the money.

I'm doing this for my husband,
who deserves justice.

[reporters clamoring]

Mrs. Whitfield just wants
Hyland Skydiving to be

held responsible for
her husband's death

so a tragedy like this
never happens to anyone else.

Our girl Liberty is
moving up in the world.

I feel like
a proud parent.

Bigger cases beget
bigger cases.

I was thinking
maybe we should let her

spread her wings
on this one.

Okay.

But she doesn't need us.

A skydiving company
should give their clients

parachutes that,
you know, open.

It's no slam dunk.

The governor signed
a liability waiver.

Yeah, and the waiver
can be broken

if Liberty proves
either gross negligence

or willful misconduct.

We both know
how clever she is.

She'll be able
to get past the waiver.

Not worried
about Liberty.

Well, then, why would
she need our help?

[chuckles]
She doesn't.

Wait, we're not joining
Liberty's team, are we?

No-- You're actually considering
going up against her?

Yeah.
Well, uh...

BULL: The owner
of the company, Walt Hyland,

died in the accident,
and his daughter Dylan

and his brother Max
run this company now.

What do you think
she'll say?

The daughter?No, Liberty.

You do realize we're not
her parents, right?

I just don't want her
to feel blindsided by us.

Didn't you just say
that we should

let her spread her wings?

Why this case, Bull?

I mean, the governor's widow
has the public behind her,

not to mention the courts and
a lot of money and resources.

I'd say it's time
to level the playing field.

So there it is.

You think this is Goliath
picking on David again.

All I know is
a skydiving company

with a 27-year
spotless safety record

becomes a national
villain overnight.

I'm intrigued,
and a little hungry.

We should have stopped
at that barbecue joint.

Sometimes in David
versus Goliath,

David deserves to lose.

I'll call the author
of the Bible

and tell him you have a few
notes on one of his stories.

Thanks for calling.

Uh, hi. Uh, can I help you?

Hi. I'm Dr. Jason Bull.

This is my colleague
Marissa Morgan.

We left a message.

I'm sorry you came
all this way,

but we can't afford to
bring on a trial consultant.

As you can see,
business isn't exactly

booming at the moment.

Before the accident,
we had 24 employees.

Now we only have six.

We understand.

Just want to hear
your side of the story.

Okay, sure.

Oh, this is
my Uncle Max.

Max, this is Marissa Morgan
and Dr. Jason Bull.

Did Dylan mention that
we can't afford your services?

She did.
And we're still here.

DYLAN: Max handles
our business affairs.

He's also been
a real lifesaver for me,

after Dad died.

MAX:
As in-house counsel,

I'll be representing us
at the trial.

Didn't the
insurance company

assign an attorney
to litigate the case?

DYLAN: Well, they're
expecting us to admit fault,

which would destroy
my dad's legacy.

MAX:
Even if we did admit fault,

the insurance won't
cover the settlement.

It'll bankrupt us.

Why is the governor's widow
doing this?

My dad gave his life
trying to save her husband.

She needs
someone to blame.

So whose fault was it?

The FAA ruled that
both parachute cords snapped

due to wear and tear.

That's impossible.

My dad double-checked
every pack before each jump.

He would have easily noticed
if those cords were worn.

My dad never would have
made that mistake.

Did your father have
a separate office?

Yes.

Can you show it to me?

[printer whirring]

Hey. You gonna be long?

I just got to scan
a couple things.

Uh, no. Done.

It's all yours, Chunk.

Thanks.

Hey, Benny.

Who's Hayden Watkins?

Someone I prosecuted
a long time ago.

You look exactly the same.

[laughs]

[chuckles]

Not on the inside.

So, Hayden Watkins-- bad guy?

Yeah, bad guy.

This is you.

Telluride.
Four years ago.

I was training
for the X Games.

Wow.

You're the real deal, huh?

I used to be,
I guess.

Haven't been able to do
much of anything since...

you know,
the accident.

I haven't even been able
to jump with our clients.

How's that make you feel?

Out there.

Competing in the X Games?

Fearlessness.

Is there such a thing?

Of course.

[sighs]

If anyone was fearless,
it was my dad.

He was the real deal.

People used to tell me
I was just like him.

But lately I've been
nothing but afraid.

Afraid of losing
the company he built.

Afraid of not being able
to restore his name.

[sighs]

Is there anything
else I can show you,

Dr. Bull?

No, this is great.

Thank you, Dylan.

BULL:
Her father was meticulous.

Had an engineer's
mindset.

Believed in redundancy--
two sets of keys,

two calendars,
both filled out.

Somebody like that
doesn't forget

to check parachutes
multiple times.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Both parachutes
still malfunctioned,

so even if he did check them,
he's still at fault

for not discovering
that the cords were worn

and about to break.

That's gross negligence,
which is all Liberty needs

to get around the waiver.

Unless...

You don't need to pause
for dramatic effect.

Unless, when Walt
checked those parachutes,

they were in perfect condition.

But, then, why did they break?

A popular U.S. governor died.

Maybe he wasn't popular
with everyone.

Bull...

It wasn't gross negligence.
Walt didn't make a mistake.

He followed the same
procedure he had for years.

And if that's the case,

somebody sabotaged
the governor's parachutes.

♪

Wait, so who are we
pointing the finger at?

Danny's investigating everyone

who had access
to the governor's parachutes.

Chunk.

Did you put all that
GoPro footage together?

It's good to go.

Let's focus on senior staff.
Who had motive?

Everyone has certainly moved on
to bigger and better things.

Well, former
lieutenant governor

Garrett Aiken is now
the governor of Connecticut.

Nice upgrade there.

Former chief of staff
Travis Robbins

is now partner
at Gage/White,

and former treasurer
Avery Tottenham

runs one of the most successful
hedge funds in the country.

Let's find out how they felt
about their boss.

DYLAN: Excuse me, Dr. Bull?Max, Dylan.

We were just
getting started.

We're talking about bosses.

Everybody hates the boss,
don't they?

Not everybody.

"Hate's" a strong word.
I wouldn't say hate.CABLE: No!

Oh, look at you scramble.
It's adorable.

MAX:
I know you guys are

the experts on strategy,

but I'm not sure I'm
comfortable with this.

My brother was a good man;
the last thing he would want

is an innocent person
to be accused of murder.

Do you think
this was Walt's fault?

Of course not.

Neither do I.

So, if our strategy
of pointing the finger

helps us find out
who actually did this,

then you and Dylan
get to keep your company,

and the governor's widow

gets justice.

Okay, let's talk about
voir dire.

Who do we not want on the jury?

Her.

We do not want risk-takers.

People who don't
take risks

like to blame
people who do.

They'll blame the skydiver
and not the skydiving company.

There's our jury plan.

Let's keep her off the jury

and find some people
who don't take risks.

Hello, Dr. Bull.

Liberty.

So... here we are.

Opposing sides.

Here we are.

Um, I have to admit,
I was surprised

to hear you took this case--
pro bono, I'm assuming--

out of all the other cases
in the entire country.

But still,

no hard feelings.

Good luck, Liberty.

Why did you say it
like that?

How'd I say it?

It was a little
adversarial.

Well, we are adversaries.

So, the gloves are off already?

You're not gonna get
inside my head, Dr. Bull.

I wasn't trying to. Sounds like
I'm already in there.

You're not.

Okay.

Raise your hand
if you like camping.

MARISSA:
How'd it go with Liberty?

She's fine.

How come you don't
like camping?

Just doesn't seem very safe.

That's okay.

So, for those of you
who do like camping,

raise your hand if you've ever
purchased bear repellant.

Plaintiff would like to strike

jurors three, five and 11.

She's weeding out
all the risk-averse jurors.

Striking all our favorites.

Looks like Liberty
did her homework.

This isn't really the time for
a proud-parent moment, Marissa.

Please raise your hand
if your favorite color is red.

Raise your hand if your
least favorite color is red.

Okay. She might be
taking this personally.

MARISSA:
It's not all about you, Bull.

MAX:
Please raise your hand

if you don't buy extra insurance

when you rent a car.

Please raise your hand
if you always

buy extra insurance
when you rent a car.

Taxi or Uber?Subway?

Raise your hand if you think
you deserve a raise.

Please raise your hand

if you would feel burdened
if you went to work tomorrow

and your salary was tripled.

He's the one I want.

Jacob.

She doesn't know
if she should strike him.

Doesn't realize
he's risk averse.

Come on, Liberty.
Don't do it.

Hmm.

Acceptable to the plaintiff,
Your Honor.

It's more fun than
I thought it'd be.

DANNY: I'm writing an article
forVisionary Weekly,

ranking the top PR firms
in New York.

I'm sure you know we have
unparalleled resources here.

I'm very proud of
what we've built.

It's very impressive,
and in such a short time.

So, before this, you worked

for the late Connecticut
governor, Dean Whitfield?

I was his
press secretary.

You know, that must've been

a really difficult
transition for you.

Do you mind talking about
the skydiving accident?

I don't mind,
but I wasn't there,

so there's not much
I can say about it.

Well, you may not have
been there physically,

but you certainly
were there in spirit.

What do you mean?

Well, I obtained some video
footage from the plane that day.

AVERY: Do you know when
it's gonna happen, sir?

DEAN: Ronnie thinks it's gonna
come out in the next few days.

We need to prepare
for the worst.

DANNY: "Ronnie thinks
it's going to come out

in the next few days."

You're Ronnie, right, Veronica?

What was coming out
in the next few days?

It was a chaotic time.
I-I don't remember.

You don't remember
preparing for the worst?

Stellar damage control.

Tell me how
you dealt with this.

Okay.

Off the record.

Understood.

There was an FBI investigation
into Governor Whitfield.

Some false accusations.

After he died, they closed it,
as they should have.

There's no reason for any of
this to be in your article.

Oh, you have my word.

This will never be mentioned
in Visionary Weekly.

Perfect.

Let's continue.

Let's.

MARISSA: Well, it's not
an ideal jury, but pretty solid,

considering Liberty
guessed our strategy,

and used all her strikes
on risk-averse jurors.

This case is about control,
risk and fear.

Everybody's afraid of something,

usually something
they don't understand.

CABLE:
Oh, I understand spiders,

but I'm still
afraid of them.

BULL: But there are
fears we all share:

failure, success,
interestingly,

death... and intimacy.

Wait, why look at me
when you say intimacy?

Well, I'm most afraid
of an IRS audit.

That's more of an admission
of guilt than anything else,

but it's a very popular fear.

Oh. Glad to know
that I'm not original.

[chuckles]
Benny?

What you afraid of?

Making a mistake.

Fear of failure,
previously mentioned.

Well, she didn't strike
our top pick, Jacob.

Yeah, what makes him
good for us?

He's got a strong fear
of losing control.

I think he's a perfectionist,
but outside the box.

He needs to know the
outcome before it happens.

You just described yourself.

You like Jacob because
he's basically your mirror.

Back to work, everyone!

Uh, forgetting something?

Your biometric watch.

So we can keep tabs
on your juror.

BULL:
I get it.

Hey. Got a minute?

Depends.
Another favor?

Maybe.

I'm all out of favors.

Aw, since when?

Oh, since you got
the last three.

Favors usually go both ways.

I'm starting
to feel used here.

Oh. Should I do you
a favor, then?

Mm. That'd be nice.

Like right now?

I could use a coffee.

Iced latte.

Seriously?
Yeah.

A coffee?

This must be
a really big favor.

What do you need?

So, we are representing

the skydiving company

in Governor Whitfield's
wrongful death lawsuit.

I just met with his
former press secretary,

and she told me that the FBI
was investigating Whitfield

during the time of his death.

RICK:
Uh, this was an investigation

out of the
Washington Field Office.

Ongoing for two years.

How's the boyfriend?

Gabe was his name?

We're fine. He's fine.
Everything's fine.

Looks like Governor Whitfield

was under investigation
for corruption.

At the time
of the accident,

a federal grand jury was about
to indict him on 28 counts.

Whoa.

Obviously, this is
highly-sensitive information,

so you cannot disclose.

Don't worry. I know the drill.

Now, we have to find out
who had access

to the governor's parachutes
that day.

So, we're gonna
retrace their steps.

Where's Chunk?

He's afraid of heights.

Wait, does that
mean we're...?

Class starts in
five minutes!

Yes.

BULL: In Walt's flight logs,
he noted that he packed

the governor's parachutes
at precisely 4:17

the afternoon
before the accident.

He then locked it up
until he retrieved it

the following day.

Governor Whitfield
and his senior staff

arrived around 6:00 a.m.

for their Accelerated
Free Fall program.

That class lasted
about four hours.

INSTRUCTOR:
There we go. Perfect.

Nice.Good job. You got it.

One, pull.
Two, hold the safety altitude.

Three, pull stable.
Four, land safely.

[quietly]: This is
gonna take four hours?

Everybody ready?

Thumbs up?
Thumbs up.

Let's go have some fun.

Good. Let's head out.

Thanks, boss.

Between that moment and
the time the governor jumped,

we know someone cut
the cords on his parachutes.

Couldn't have been easy.

CABLE:
Are you kidding?

I've had at least three
opportunities to cut your cords.

BULL: They walked directly from
the lockers to the plane,

and were together
the entire time.

So, they probably
did it right here.

You okay?

Yeah.

So, when do we jump?

We're not jumping.

What?

You can tell the pilot to turn
the plane around, head back.

But I want to jump.

Yeah, why did we take
a four-hour class

if we're not gonna jump?

We were retracing steps.

I'm with Bull.

There's a perfectly good runway

about ten minutes
from here.

But, Bull, how are you a pilot
and scared to jump?

I don't have a fear, I just have
a healthy respect for gravity.

All right, if they want
to jump, they should jump.

They're fully prepped.

It's safe.
[whoops]

♪ It's all right, baby...

BULL: Just remember
to pull your rip cord.

I'll see you at the office.

Okay. Ready?

[whoops]

Okay, I'm ready.

BULL:
You're up, blondie.

I hope I see you
at the office.

Get it, girl.

[Marissa screams]

♪ Doesn't mean
there ain't honey inside. ♪

BULL: Looks like
we've got ourselves

a murder mystery.

Now we just need to solve it.

All three of these people
have motive and opportunity.

If the governor's senior staff
was involved in the corruption,

why did the FBI shelve
the investigation?

Well, my contact said Governor
Whitfield was the big fish.

Everyone knows that the senior
staff usually takes the fall.

BULL:
Unless they flip.

Testify against the boss
to gain immunity.

Which is why Whitfield took them
on that team-building exercise,

keep them close.

I got to admit,
I'm still feeling

the adrenaline rush
of that jump.

Me, too. It was
life-changing.

It was an eye-opening,
team-building exercise.

You didn't even jump.

Not all bonding
is with the boss.

Right.

Thanks, Bull.
It was almost as fun

as High-Five Day.

I forgot about High-Five Day!

Oop. [chuckles]

Are we seriously
considering

putting Governor Aiken
on the stand?

Not if the governor
has anything to do with it.

Check this out.

Ah, yes. You know,
I've always liked

the seal of the state
of Connecticut.

It's sturdy yet soft.

MARISSA: This is
a cease and desist

from the Connecticut
attorney general.

We have been
put on notice

that it will be considered
harassment if we contact

any of the governor's
former staff.

It's all bark,
very little that's actionable.

It's just a warning.

Am I the only one that's
intimidated by all of this?

These guys could bury us.

Plus, it seems
a little bit unethical

to point a finger
at a sitting governor.BULL: We won't,

not until we've ruled out
the other suspects.

The evidence that Danny
brought us on Travis and Avery

should be enough
to go after them.

Wait, we can't bring
this evidence up in court.

BULL: It's relevant
to our defense.

The judge will allow it.

No, what I mean is, um,
I promised my contact

that this wouldn't get out.

The details are specific
to the FBI's investigation.

If it gets out,
I-I could burn my source.

We need to convince the jury
it was sabotage.

This evidence provides motive.

You deal with your
source, Danny.

Okay.

Just to be clear,
you want me to accuse

two of the former
governor's staff of murder.

Just to be clear, yes.

MARISSA:
Hey.

Uh, Chunk, got a sec?

Yeah, I was just tinkering

with, uh, Max's look
for the trial.

I'm thinking
British traditional.

Okay, this might be a mistake.

The color or cut?

No, uh, the suit is great.

I just am worried about Max

trying this case.

Maybe we should put Benny on it.

Bull's got his eye on him.

Max has been

resistant to our strategy.

I mean, if he doesn't fully
commit, the jury'll know.

He hasn't been in front
of a jury in years.

Well, at least he'll look good.

I'm serious, Chunk.

Look, I know.

I've been working with him
on his presentation,

his posture;
he's doing his best.

Max is trying
to save his company.

He just lost his brother,
and clearly that impacted him.

The jury will feel his pain.

Just got to give him a chance.

Okay. But Benny is on deck.

We need to have
a quick hook

in case Max can't get
his head in the game.

You were Governor Whitfield's
chief of staff.

Yes.

Did you like him?

Objection. Relevance.

Overruled.

Witness can answer.

I liked him very much.

No, I did not like him, at all.

Why not?

He was an arrogant,
lying blowhard.

At least she's honest.

Well, oddly enough,

they like her.

So do I.

Why were you skydiving

that day?

Governor Whitfield loved
team-building activities.

One year,
we drove race cars.

Last year, we did paintball.
This year, skydiving.

What if you were afraid to jump

out of a plane?I wasn't afraid.

Avery and Garrett
were a little scared.

I was pumped.
[chuckles]

So we hate this guy, right?

MARISSA: Mirror Bull
does not like this guy.

There is no Mirror Bull.

AVERY: Governor Whitfield
would take us

on these thrill-seeking
adventures to show off.

I guess the last one didn't
turn out too good for him.

Ouch.

MAX: Isn't it true
a corruption scandal

involving all of you
was about to come out?

Objection!

This is clearly a cheap stunt

by the defense, in an attempt
to distract the jury

from the facts of this case.
This case is about

fault in a skydiving accident.

We believe
the two are connected.

On what planet?

Your Honor,

the governor's
senior staff

has been implicated

in an investigation
alleging

they accepted bribes
for political gain.

I've made copies
for everyone

and would like to enter
them into evidence.

[scoffs]

JUDGE:
I'll allow it.

Would you like me
to repeat the question?

That's not necessary.

At this time, I'd like to invoke
my Fifth Amendment...

...right against
self-incrimination.

MAX:
Did you...

sabotage Governor
Whitfield's parachutes?

Did you murder your boss?

I did not.

Of course not. No.

MARISSA:
The jurors

all believe 'em, Bull.

So do I.

Neither of these staffers
killed Whitfield.

What's our next move?

This murder is looking like
a power play by Aiken

to become governor.

I think we have no choice

but to put Governor Aiken
on the stand.

Why didn't you tell Rick
you broke up with Gabe?

Why does it matter?

Because you like him
and you're single.

When did I say
I liked him?

You told me he asked
you about Gabe.

So?
Before you mentioned
the corruption scandal.

I was just telling you about our
meeting in chronological order.

Right.
Can we just focus?

Aiken is taking the stand
any minute,

and we need
something on him.

[sighs]

Okay, it's not very juicy.

But when he was
lieutenant governor,

Aiken moved his office
to another building.

You're right,
that's not juicy.

A week before the accident.

Juicier.

RICK:
Danny?

Hey.

Can we speak privately?

Sure.

Cable.

I'll go tell Bull about
the semi-juicy detail.

She broke up with Gabe.

I'll let you go first.

We had to use the information.

Right. I thought
maybe you would lead off

with some sort of apology.

I mean, you could've
given me a warning.

I am sorry, Rick, but I didn't
have a choice, okay?

And these people may be suspects
in the governor's murder.

"Sensitive and specific
to the FBI investigation."

That's what I said.

I had planned on telling you.

But I didn't have a choice.

This is my fault.

I should've known
this would happen.

That's not fair.

No... it's not.

REPORTER: Governor Aiken!
Governor Aiken, any comment?

No comment.

[reporters clamoring]

Connecticut Governor
Garrett Aiken

has arrived at the courthouse

and is scheduled
to testify today

in the wrongful death suit.

Governor Aiken
will take the stand shortly.

It is unclear
if he will be implicated

in the corruption allegations
brought up

during the former chief of staff
Travis Robbins' testimony.

MAX:
Governor Aiken,

would you say that you

and Governor Whitfield
were friends?

We had a strong relationship.

But you had differences.

We were both from Connecticut,

and we loved our state,

but we had different ideas

for its future.

MARISSA:
Oh, as I'm sure you know,

the jurors love this guy.

He's a natural leader.

MAX:
You had ideas,

but it didn't matter because
he was the governor, not you.

And I accepted that.

And when you became governor,

were you able
to implement your ideas?

I changed course

on a few things
I didn't agree with. Yes.

But I've done everything
in my power to honor

Governor Whitfield's legacy.
I'm well aware

that I wasn't voted
into office, he was.

Look, this past year
has been difficult

on the entire state
of Connecticut.

And to be honest, I don't think
I could've gotten through it

without the love
and support

of my wife,

Colleen.

Colleen is my rock.

She always steers me
in the right direction.

She's been incredible
during this difficult time,

and I've relied
on her thoroughly.

Yeah, the jury just spiked
for this guy.

Maybe he should run
for president.

GARRETT: When I think of
how I should fill

Governor Whitfield's shoes...

When did Cable say Aiken moved
his office to another building?

[types]

Six days before the accident.

Why?

What? Bull? What's going on?

Bull, Bull, you should probably
have Max cut him off

before they throw a parade
for Aiken.

[whispers]:
Max.

Come here.

Uh...
[clears throat]

Your Honor, I-I...
I just have one more question.

About a week before
the accident,

you moved your office
out of the building

where Governor Whitfield
had his office.

Objection.
Where is this going?

Let's find out together.
Overruled.

MAX: Sir, did you
move your office

because you found out that

Governor Whitfield
was sleeping with your wife?

LIBERTY: Objection!
This is completely

outrageous and irrelevant.

JUDGE: Sounds kind of
relevant to me.

Overruled.

The witness will
answer the question.

Yes.

That's why
I moved my office

to another building.

[gallery murmuring]

So the murder wasn't political,

it was personal.

Biometrics have completely
shifted on Aiken.

There goes his shot
at president.

Do you think
this is a game?

Maybe it's best
if we don't interact

until after the trial,
Liberty.

Exposing an
irrelevant affair?

You couldn't win this
case on the facts,

so you had to
play dirty?

Uh, I'm on the right side
of this one, Liberty.

You know,

you always have to be
in control, don't you?

That's not why I took this case.

You saw me on a big case,
national news,

and you had nothing
to do with it.

I didn't call you
for help,

so you ran to the other side.

Oh, I've learned so much
from you, Dr. Bull.

Every time I've worked
with you, but this time,

I've learned my biggest lesson.

So thank you for that.

[sighs]

We have 11 of 12 jurors,

one more than we need
in a civil trial.

BENNY: So we move on
to closing arguments.

Benny, you have a call.

Tell them I'll
call them back.

It's the U.S. Attorney's Office.

They say it's important.

I'm not your
secretary, man.

So, out of curiosity,

who was the lone
holdout on the jury?

Jacob.

Huh. The man
in the mirror.

So you're not convinced
it was Aiken, either.

It doesn't matter.

Doesn't it?

Your Honor, we'd like to call
a rebuttal witness.

Dylan Hyland.

[gasps softly]

LIBERTY:
Ms. Hyland,

first, I am very sorry
for your loss.

Thank you.

Were you aware that a few
weeks before the accident,

the late governor,
Dean Whitfield,

signed a new zoning bill

that would allow for local and
regional airports to expand?

No.

It turns out, the airport your
skydiving company leased from

was going to expand
dramatically,

and established airlines

were coming in
to take over

the existing hangars
and runways.

What are you talking about?

It's right here.

In fact,

two days before the accident,
your company

received notification
that its lease

would not be renewed
at the airport,

effectively
shutting you down.

Did your father
tell you about this?

No. I had no idea.

After the governor's death...

...his replacement,
Garrett Aiken,

reversed the
new zoning laws,

which ended up
saving your company.

So maybe you should
be thanking him

instead of accusing him
of murder.

Here is a portion
of the videos obtained

from Governor Whitfield's

and your father's GoPro cameras
moments before the accident.

I don't want to see this.

MARISSA:
What's Liberty doing?

Attacking.

DEAN:
You okay, Walt?

You don't seem like
yourself today.

Should we not do this?

WALT:
I'm okay.

Just business stuff.

DEAN:
All good?

I hope so.

[grunts, cords snap]

DEAN:
Help me!

WALT:
I can't let this happen!

I got you, I got you!Help me! Help!

I got you!Help me!

Just hold on!

LIBERTY: Governor
Whitfield signed a bill

that was going to put
your father out of business.

I know this is difficult
to hear, Ms. Hyland,

but your father sabotaged
the governor's parachutes.

Objection!

This is a
preposterous theory

fabricated by Ms. Davis

to further slander
my brother's name!

The defense has their theory,

and we have ours.

We have motive,
we have audio

of the murderer
changing his mind

at the last minute.

You heard him.

"I can't let
this happen!"

So it wasn't Governor Aiken
who killed him.

That leaves only one person

with motive and means
to kill the governor.

MARISSA:
Bull, what are you thinking?

BULL: In order to win this
case, we're gonna have to

change our strategy
for your closing, Max.

What would you
like me to say?

Now we know Walt
was responsible

for the
governor's death.

Right?

Maybe you shouldn't
be in here for this.

BULL:
I'd like her to stay.

The only way we win this case

is for you to get out
in front of that jury

and tell them Walt did this.

Uh, you want me to, um...

tell the jury...

that my brother
murdered the governor?

But he was acting outside
the scope of his employment,

which proves that the
company's not liable.

I just don't know
if I can do that.

Here, I prepared your
summation for you.

All you have to
do is read it.

I'd like to hear
it out loud.

"My brother...

"...Walt...

...became a bitter,
angry, vengeful man."

Keep reading.

"He murdered the governor...

to get back at him."

[inhales sharply]

I-I can't do this.

You have to, Max.

He blamed me.

[sniffles]

He thought it was my fault
the company was going under.

He blamed me.

Who did?

Walt.

The airport wasn't
gonna renew the lease.

He assumed that
I screwed it up again,

that I missed a deadline
or something, but I didn't.

It wasn't my fault,
it wasn't...

[sniffles]
He-he fired me.

I gave 22 years
to that company.

I gave 22 years to him.

I gave my whole life!
My whole life![pounds on table]

And it was
Governor Whitfield's fault.

It was his fault.

It was all his fault.

And I wanted
him to pay.

So I checked to see the next
time that he was gonna be in.

And Walt went
through the packs,

and he double and triple checked
everything like he always did.

And after
he locked it all up,

I did it, I frayed the cords.

I'm so sorry, honey.

I'm so sorry.

I just want it all to be over.

It's over.

[talking quietly]

Excuse me, can I have a minute?

No, I think
you were right.

I think we should wait
until after the trial.

It's important.

Will you give
us a minute?

You should both
hear this.

Max Hyland turned himself
in to the police today.

He confessed to
killing your husband.

Dylan is the only person
left at Hyland Skydiving.

She's lost her father,
now her uncle.

So I'm asking you,

please don't take away
the only thing she has left

that reminds her
of her father.

After everything you've
exposed during this trial?

My husband's
infidelities, corruption?

You've destroyed his legacy.

I know. I'm sorry.

I know this has been
very painful,

but why punish Dylan for that?

Max is going to prison
for the rest of his life.

Walt cared about
your husband.

And he died trying
to save his life.

Do you think
you can let go of this

so everyone can move on?

Yes.

Oh, I hope so.

So, about what
I said earlier...

I liked seeing this side of you;
she should come out more often.

I'll check her schedule.

[chuckles]

You were right.

About what?

Well, I was intrigued
about this case

because you were on it
and I wasn't.

That's worrisome.

Should I expect this challenge
every time I'm on my own case?

Maybe.

Without you,
we don't solve this.

We were looking
in the wrong direction.

You pointed
the finger at Walt.

Which was a little heartless,
by the way.

I learned from the best.

I guess we make a good team,

even when
we're on opposing sides.

Hmm.

Until next time.

Liberty, you said you learned
your biggest lesson

from me on this case.

Can you tell me
what it was?

How to win.

I brought a peace offering.

Coffee. I can't accept that.

Why not?

Well, I'm on a short leash here.

You give me that, I'm gonna
have to fill out a gift receipt.

Okay.

I'll take it.

But it's mocha mint.

Just don't tell anyone.

I'm really sorry, Rick.

It'll never
happen again.

So why didn't you tell me
you broke up with Gabe?

I don't know.

What, you thought I was gonna
ask you out or something?

Would you have asked me out?

I guess we'll never know now.

[scoffs]

So you want to grab a drink?

CHUNK:
Hey, man.

You good?

Yeah.

I don't know.

You want to
talk about it?

[sniffs]

Remember the guy
I told you I prosecuted?

Hayden Watkins?

Yeah.

Turns out he may be innocent.

New DNA evidence.

But I thought you said
he was a bad guy.

Thought he was.

How long has
he been inside?

Nine years.

His wife...

remarried and...

started a whole new family.

I may have destroyed
an innocent man's life.

You know this is statistically
safer than cheerleading?

That's my kind of statistic,
but it can't possibly be true.

Look it up.

[laughs]

You don't have
to do this.

Yes, I do.

♪

You're the real deal, Dylan.

Your father would want you to
live your life the way he did.

Fearless.

You good?

Ready?

"It's safer than cheerleading."

♪ Follow me down

[whoops]

♪ Don't let me, don't let me

♪ Don't let me drown

life to give. ♪
