- Glory Days is dead. - I didn't kill her.

- This guy. - He's following her.

The guy in the hat is Neil Bishop.

Your case does not concern me.

Sam fucking Scales? What is it this time?

Everyone is plucking a bit.

He needs to be taken out. He won't make it any longer!

Julian is in the hospital after a prisoner attack.

The perpetrator's goal was to invalidate the process.

Julian stabbed

A certain Lalo Vasquez.

Prosecution's evidence in the Lalo Vasquez case.

James De Marco. He's got you covered, huh?

James De Marco's agent has arrived.

We will listen to what he has to say.

Good morning. Do you know Mr. Bishop?

We met 10 years ago At a double homicide.

- Do you know Peter Sterghos? - No.

Bishop and De Marco broke in

to the home of a potential defense witness.

You may leave. Thank you.

Say he's awake.

Julian awoke.

Your Honor, my client has awakened.

I ask you to postpone your decision.

You have to get an acquittal.

Mr. La Cosse signed the agreement

To continue the process without him.

With the recording from Sterghos' house You will refute his arguments.

I think I have a better idea.

Don't show it. Not in court or anywhere.

Defense calls on Neil Bishop.

Why can't I come to his game?

Because you will be there?

It's a semi-final, Linda said.

I was at every game, no matter what.

No. No, Linda.

No, listen.

I will not miss my son's match because, Because you're mad at me.

It doesn't work that way.

Linda?

Hello?

Hail.

Cuz.

Detective Bishop?

Agent James De Marco, DEA.

- Can I? - And do I have a choice?

What is it about?

Oh that Lake Balboa double homicide.

On Montgomery Avenue?

Exactly.

Reportedly, our agents were on the spot.

They screwed around a bit. They took flight and that's all I saw of them.

What is the DEA going to seize our case?

It's not like that.

How is your investigation going?

Are you asking about leads?

It doesn't go at all.

Professional work. My bet is on the cartel.

The killers have probably already left the country.

Did they teach you that snacking someone's food is rudeness?

I accidentally heard your conversation.

Is the home fire dimming?

Heck, it's up to you.

Bottom line.

I know from experience that there are times....

uninteresting.

And expensive.

Maybe I could help in some way.

I don't need your help. But thanks.

Neil.

I don't think you fully understand.

You'd better hear me out.

Mr. Haller, another witness.

Defense calls on Neil Bishop.

Do you swear, That your testimony before the court

Will they be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Yes.

You may begin.

Thank you.

Please tell the jury, where you work.

I am an investigator LA district attorney's office.

How did you get there?

I worked 18 years in the police force, 13 as a detective in the homicide division.

After leaving the police

I moved to the prosecutor's office.

And this particular case?

How was she assigned to you?

Well.

Usually, cases are assigned randomly.

But this time I asked for an assignment.

Why?

I had few issues.

And I have heard that with Attorney Forsythe is good to work with.

That was the official reason.

So did you have any other reason?

Yes.

Which one?

I wanted to be able to observe the progress of the case.

Why?

Because someone told me to.

Superior?

No, not the supervisor.

At least not entirely.

So who?

DEA Agent James De Marco.

May we approach?

Please take a quarter-hour break

for an interview with the investigator.

No way, Mr. Forsythe. He is a witness. Anything else?

Someone wants to trick me here.

Who?

Mr. Haller or your investigator?

For seats, gentlemen.

Go ahead.

Thank you.

Mr. Haller.

Excuse me, your honor. I am checking the records.

DE MARCO HAS A SPY IN THE ROOM.

ACTION.

Gotcha.

LINCOLN LAWYER

You testified that De Marco's agent told you to keep an eye on the case.

- Is that correct? - Yes.

Did he reveal the reason?

He said that Gloria Dayton was his informant.

And he wanted to stay up to date With the case of her murder.

Let's step back for a moment.

Do you remember the footage from the Roosevelt Hotel shown here a few days ago?

Yes.

Record of the night, When Gloria Dayton was killed?

Yes.

The hotel manager testified, That the footage shows,

That Gloria is being followed by a man in a hat.

What do you think?

Objection. This goes beyond Beyond the competence of the witness.

Your Honor, the witness was a detective in the homicide division for 13 years.

He can analyze such a recording.

Repeal.

I'll ask again.

Does the video show, That someone is following Gloria Dayton?

Yes.

Why?

Because I was the one who followed her.

I ask for calm.

SERVE THE COURT. WHY.

Are you the one on the recording?

In the hat?

Yes.

Why did you follow Gloria?

At the request of De Marco's agent.

Was he the one who told you to keep an eye on the case?

Yes.

I was supposed to find Gloria and find out where she lives.

Did he reveal to you the reasons for this request?

Objection. Encouragement of rumors.

I want to determine why Mr. Bishop

He agreed to follow the victim.

Repeal. Please respond.

He said that Gloria Dayton was his informant.

But it sank into the ground.

He wanted to talk to her about something.

How did you find her?

De Marco gave me a picture of her.

I knew how he was making money.

I found it on Julian La Cosse's website.

She operated under a different name.

Giselle Dallinger.

What did you do then?

I agreed with her.

I went to the Roosevelt Hotel.

I gave a made-up name.

On the way to peace

I noticed a boy with luggage At the door opposite.

Anyone checking out?

Yes.

When they left the room,

I held the door.

When they left, I went into their room.

For what reason?

Before I ended up in the homicide department, I was in customs.

I know how prostitutes don't get caught.

I felt that Giselle's helper would call me.

That's how they checked to see if you were a cop.

I arranged a meeting To the room opposite mine.

On the name of that guy.

I'm lost.

You were looking for an agent's informant.

Why go to so much trouble to hide?

Because I know that everything can be traced.

I didn't want to let it hiccup on me.

I was protecting my four letters. And that was it.

Okay. What happened next?

I arranged a meeting for the evening.

After a while, the phone rang.

As I thought.

Yes?

Yes, says Daniel Price.

That's right. Room 837.

Then I left the hotel.

I returned around 9 pm.

What did you do then?

I waited for her in the lobby.

The hat was to hide Your face from the cameras?

Yes.

Did you suspect, That something was going to happen to Gloria that night?

Is that why you hid your face and tried to cover your tracks?

No, I didn't suspect anything.

I just felt uncomfortable.

I wanted to be careful.

Well. You have been waiting.

Ms. Dayton arrived on time?

Yes.

I had not seen it live before.

I only had a photo.

But there was no mistaking it.

She took the elevator to room 837.

I knew he wouldn't find anyone.

Did you wait downstairs until her return?

Yes.

Hi. Is there a Daniel Price in room 837?

We do not provide information about guests.

I understand, but I have an appointment with Mr. Price.

He may not have heard the knock on the door.

Sorry. Please call the room.

About.

And does anyone even spend the night in this room?

Thank you.

Room 837 is vacant.

Is there anything else I can do for you?

No, thank you.

You have done enough.

I stood up as she walked to the door.

But then she turned around again.

Hit me up ... a receipt.

Enjoy your evening.

Finally, she left and I followed her.

What did you do next?

The carriage stood on the other side of the street.

Thank you.

I got in and waited, for the parking attendant to pull up.

Did you follow her to her apartment?

Yes.

Right. Detective...

Mr. Haller, a moment.

You will be forgiven.

We are just getting started, But I need to get something done.

We will take a short break.

Please wait in the meeting room and remember the instructions.

The parties and the witness remain.

Mr. Bishop, do you have a lawyer?

Don't.

I should withhold your testimony, to seek the advice of a lawyer?

No, your honor. I want to do it.

I did not break the law.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I want to testify further.

The Guardian?

Mr. Bishop, please stand up.

Do you carry a gun?

Well, sure.

Please give it to the guard.

We will store the weapons until you finish testifying.

Mr. Bishop.

Please hand over your weapons.

Thank you.

I also have a pocket knife. Is this a problem?

No, it's not a problem.

Please take a seat.

Oathkeepers may return.

Julian?

He will survive. He is still lying in the ICU.

HOW TO.

I thank the jury for their patience.

WHERE TO GO.

I ask, Mr. Haller.

Thank you.

Mr. Bishop.

A while ago you testified, That on the night of Gloria Dayton's murder

You followed her from the hotel to her apartment.

What came next?

On site

I stood on the other side of the street.

I sent De Marco's agent the address.

Were you waiting for him?

Yes.

But it took a while. More than an hour.

Did anyone enter the building at that time?

Yes, around 10:45 pm Julian La Cosse appeared.

Yes?

Julian here. Let me in.

I didn't know him at the time, I didn't particularly look at him.

He left after a quarter of an hour.

When did De Marco's agent arrive?

Ten minutes later.

He asked if she was still there.

I replied that I did.

Did you go in with him?

No. I drove away from there.

Did you see him enter?

- It was impossible. - How so?

He did not approach the intercom.

He circled the building. I lost sight of him.

For what reason did he go around the building?

Objection. Encouraging speculation.

Your Honor, I am asking the witness for his opinion.

Repeal.

I presumed,

that it was all about the camera

Above the door.

To bypass it, you have to enter from the side.

An hour later, Gloria Dayton was dead.

Is that right?

Yes.

Mr. Bishop, I will ask again.

Did you know, That Gloria Dayton would die that night?

I didn't know.

Otherwise...

Yes?

I don't know.

I don't know what I would do.

So let me ask it another way.

What did you expect From De Marco's agent?

I don't know.

I asked him what was going on.

I said...

That I want nothing to do with it,

If something was to happen to her.

And he replied...

Neil, I just want to talk to her. Word.

About what? I'm sticking my neck out for you.

She called me a week ago.

I?

She received a summons in a civil case.

Some snapper tries to to pull a cartel shmuck out of the box.

She is terrified, I just need to calm her down.

You know the snitches

They are afraid of their own shadow.

Don't worry about it.

Thank you for helping me.

I won't forget it.

Go home and get some sleep.

You look terrible.

Then I drove away.

I don't know what happened after that.

Curses.

Hail.

Mr. Bishop,

please explain something.

For what reason were you helping De Marco's agent?

Because.

Because he had a hook on me.

He had me at arm's length.

Meaning?

Ten years ago, when I was a detective,

I was investigating a double homicide.

Two dealers were killed.

We suspected the Juárez cartel.

The case was stuck. We had no leads.

One day De Marco's agent approached me.

I made a mistake.

Certain people...

they would pay crores, to keep this case unraveled.

Two dead bodies in a case, That no one will ever solve.

And in light of

family troubles

You could use the money for a good lawyer.

Wolf satiated, Neil said.

And a sheep all the way.

Did you take the money?

Yes.

My son was nine years old.

He needed a father.

I couldn't lose him.

And my police career was falling apart.

You probably associate.

What happened next?

Fuck, should I draw it out?

He had a hook on me. Do you understand me?

I couldn't get away anymore.

The case at the hotel?

Not the first time De Marco has made fun of me.

This has been repeated. Repeatedly.

He treated me as his snitch.

One last point, Mr. Bishop.

Have you asked Agent De Marco about the fate of Gloria Dayton?

I asked him directly if he had killed her.

Because I didn't want to have her on my conscience.

He replied that she was already dead, when he entered her apartment.

He confessed that he started the fire,

Because he didn't know, whether she had anything that connected him to her.

He wanted to avoid the consequences.

Did you believe him?

Wanted.

I'll ask again, Mr. Bishop said.

Did you believe him?

Don't.

I didn't believe it.

No further questions.

Holy crap.

May my son forgive me.

No!

Haller.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Looking for you.

Are you holding on?

What?

Get in line, Mickey.

What are you thinking about?

I don't know.

- Maybe I overreacted to Bishop. - I didn't.

You've done your part.

And that's it.

And he was hiding a second weapon.

He had planned it from the beginning.

- I called him up. - Because you had to, Mickey.

Cops, agents, the case stank a mile away.

I'm beginning to understand that.

you were right.

Meaning?

The whole system is messed up.

You can't blame yourself for that.

Your words regarding Deborah Glass.

Exactly, what about this case?

Vanessa is said to be completely eaten up.

Glass is defended by a shark.

I want Vanessa to lose.

But I want more, Scott Glass to be put behind bars.

Suarez doesn't give a damn anyway.

How so?

Haven't you heard?

Bob Cardone has been nominated for the position of federal judge.

And Suarez became a district attorney.

As you said, the whole system.

I have to go home.

The jury is waiting at dawn.

Thank you for your concern.

Always at your service.

Andy?

Fuck the system.

You want Scott Glass behind bars, put him there yourself.

Someone has already woken up.

How do you feel?

Terrible.

But happily.

Thank you for the flowers.

Minor.

I will make you even happier.

The charges were officially dismissed.

You are a free man.

Thank you, Mickey.

I owe you my life.

You owe your life to the doctors.

What can we do after, What happened to Julian?

They will offer money, to twist the case,

But for a fair amount they will have to be pressed.

Should we sue them?

If necessary.

Mickey.

I don't think I can do it.

I never want to go back to court again.

Not all at once.

For now, rest. I'll take care of everything.

Right.

- Bottom line. - Yes.

I am just now moving.

Right.

Thank you, senator. Goodbye.

May I take your word for it?

Not really, Freemann said.

I'm busy.

I'll just take a moment.

Let me know,

That I will be on vocalization only until the end of the week.

And if you don't want a new fave to start with

lose the Scott Glass cases,

You will give it back to me.

- Andrea, you already had... - Adam.

I'm the best here, you know that.

So, Mr. Prosecutor,

Or you can fire me,

Or he will give the case away.

I'm sick and tired of the sodden penance.

Congratulations.

Good morning, Izzy.

Good morning.

I am wrapping up this month's invoices. A lot of customers are in arrears.

And can we stop paying Road Saints?

I was beginning to tolerate one of them, Nick.

He is familiar with carbonated water.

We don't know where De Marco is.

Road Saints could come in handy.

Who hasn't paid?

Sam Scales.

How else.

Has it been sitting there long?

He was there when I came.

He is working on Julian's case.

He is taking it hard.

I suggested he take a vacation.

He stated that he may not return.

Injuries.

Cisco checks something from Andrea,

But it may not be enough.

It hasn't been this bad with him for a long time.

Since the accident.

Maybe I'll take him to a meeting.

I don't know myself.

He needs to shake things up somehow.

Guys.

Hello?

Is anyone here?

Dad?

Hayley?

Bottom line. This is my daughter.

What are you doing here?

I missed you.

I follow you more.

Is everything okay?

Yes, and at your place?

Mom said of the attack on this innocent customer.

I read that they are looking for a DEA agent.

Screwed up is everything.

That's exactly what it is.

Sorry, Dad.

That I treated you this way.

I feel sad for Eddie, But it wasn't your fault.

Hugs.

You don't have to apologize.

I'm glad you're back.

And you will be happy, Because I'm thinking of quitting my job.

Do you want to leave?

Well...

I think I've had enough, Hayley.

The system is not changing.

And I don't think I want to bang my head against the wall.

You can't quit.

You hate my work.

After all, you saved an innocent person.

This is a serious matter.

For the system to work, someone has to change it.

This is quite a change.

I'm even considering following in your footsteps.

According to the counselor with my grades I will get into a good university.

I can start classes in the fall, I have passed enough courses.

College classes?

This is a great addition to the certificate.

Maybe one day I will also get law school at a top university.

Honey, you are my brilliant daughter.

You will definitely get there, Wherever you want to go.

Can we postpone the future? I have missed you.

I want to know how you are doing.

Well, and I'm starving.

That's good, because I have Thai.

The delicacies themselves. We'll sit up late.

I have to tell you something.

What's that?

I want to be a prosecutor.

Well, nice.

- We will have a problem. - I know.

I'll bring the plates. I'll be right back.

FOUR MONTHS LATER

With this information

I related the cocaine,

which Neil Bishop and agent James De Marco

planted in the home of Peter Sterghos

With cocaine, which Amber Dell...

from Las Vegas, an associate of De Marco's agent, wanted to sell me.

I also related that cocaine

With fentanyl-laced cocaine,

Behind which sat Lalo Vasquez.

He was the one who stabbed

Mr. La Cosse in prison.

How did you determine that?

In all three cases

The bags of cocaine had a distinctive blue star.

Why is this important?

Such a star

used exclusively by Juárez Cartel affiliates.

It is this cartel that has a record of double homicide,

Which on De Marco's dime Bishop was not supposed to solve.

I did a little research.

De Marco's agent often brought to court

Tijuana cartel members.

But he never accused

Juárez Cartel members.

Not a single one.

Thank you, sir.

We have a lot to think about, Mr. Haller.

We'll get back to you as soon as we digest this.

Wait outside.

How about skipping the courtship?

What my client went through, is your fault. All of you.

One moment, Haller said.

This is a serious accusation.

No, Adam. It's a fact. And even a lot of facts.

Here is one of them.

James De Marco, a distinguished DEA agent,

worked for the most dangerous Mexican cartel.

That's why he had to close Moya,

head of a rival cartel, behind bars.

He used Gloria Dayton for this purpose.

He killed her when she threatened to start sleeping.

This was not an isolated case of corruption.

This went on for decades.

And that didn't just apply to the DEA.

The prosecutor's investigator was De Marco's puppet,

While he was still a police officer in LA.

And when the case went sour, my client was about to die

Under the watchful eye of the sheriff's office.

The whole thing is a sham.

From the very beginning.

I doubt if anyone will find James De Marco.

The DEA, out of shame, will not want to.

It is better to sweep the issue under the rug.

That is, no one will ever pay for the murder of Gloria Dayton,

The murder of my driver, Eddie Rojas, and God knows what else.

But you,

All of you, you will pay for it.

I will make you pay.

In truth

I wanted to avoid a court hearing.

I doubted whether I would have enough strength, but now?

Now I'm raring to go.

If you think that my client Is asking for a substantial amount of money,

WAIT.

For the jury's verdict. You know where to find me.

- Thanks, Jess. - Please.

What's the deal with the new customer?

Remember the type that took Eddie as a parking attendant?

That asshole?

Little said.

His wife is divorcing him.

He flanked the top lawyers in the city

And he messed with her.

Because of the conflict of interest she can't hire them.

She came to us.

Do we handle divorces?

No worries, you will definitely get beach house.

I'll leave the Lamborghini to him.

Let's hope that the hoard kills him, While I sip my drinks in Malibu.

Sounds great.

- I'll get back to you. - Right.

I will pluck her knitted husband bare.

Her gaze frightens me.

Good morning.

Hey good morning, Mick.

What happened, Izzy?

What's going on?

Are you okay?

NUMBER BLOCKED

Hello?

Señor Haller.

Has the gift arrived?

Yes.

I dealt with De Marco's agent.

For Good.

I understand,

But what about the people from Juárez, for whom he worked?

I will take care of them.

Trust me.

I will cause them so much trouble, That they won't worry about you.

May we not meet.

Thank you for your help, Mr. Haller.

Have a great day.

Who made the call?

We can check in with Road Saints.

Sorry.

- And how? - Check the mail.

You will like the amount.

You've made it, Haller.

Really? Are you sure?

The system cannot stand still.

See you there.

ANSWER: JULIAN LA COSSE - TERMS OF SETTLEMENT

Mickey, will you tell us what's going on?

What is happening is that we won.

I'm fretting!

That's a lot of zeros.

Guess what. No more work for today.

It's true.

What did Julian say?

He dropped the phone.

He said he and David would buy an RV.

We all have dreams.

Mine has a spa and chlorine.

Maybe we can do something about it, because....

there will be bonuses.

Awesome.

Gosh. Thank you, Mick. A generous gesture.

Petty. You've earned it.

Eddie's mother, Esperanza, will also get the money. It will come in handy for her.

I will listen to you.

Completely change your life?

No, I will go on vacation.

I'm going to Palm Springs for a tennis tournament.

And then maybe I'll get hooked on Baja.

But you don't want to give up anymore?

Of course not.

I just need to recuperate.

You will take care of the law firm in my absence.

No problem.

I have preliminary hearings and drunk driving cases,

And the Schwartzes' divorce is going off without a hitch.

Is it wrong to like divorces?

No hard feelings. Divorce freeloaders.

Take any case. Don't do something I wouldn't do.

So hullo soul?

Seriously.

To Julian.

To Julian.

And for the gods of guilt.

Not for the jury.

For those we carry with us.

Gods of Guilt.

Gods of Guilt.

It's time to eat something.

Yum.

I'm not sure.

Is it passion fruit?

And after Lorna.

Okay, I'm moving on.

Stay here as much as you want. I pay for everything.

- See you next week. - Right.

Nice. Love you guys.

- Bye. - See you later.

INNOCENT

Documents please.

Of course, Officer Collins. Why did you detain me?

I did not exceed the speed limit, and the lights were green.

Documents.

Bright.

Will you tell me what this is all about?

Please get off.

Come on. Really?

Please exit the vehicle.

Let it be.

I say right away, I haven't had a drink in three years.

I can blow and whatnot to my heart's content.

Good. Congratulations. Please stand behind the car.

Should I walk the line? Count backwards?

I am a lawyer. I know the games.

Here.

I stopped Mr.

For failure to register.

Curses.

I parked in the center, Someone must have stolen it.

Excuse me. Please hand me a ticket.

Please stop.

What?

- Is it blood? - What?

Please approach.

- Blood? What are you talking about? - Here.

Please open the trunk.

Luggage Carrier.

Don't.

I want a sheet metal fine.

I don't open the trunk. You have no reason to.

I am arresting you.

For what?

- Don't move. Hands together. - What are you doing?

It escaped you that I'm a lawyer, huh?

I will leave you here for safety.

You will sit next to my carriage.

Please do not move from here.

You can't open the trunk.

You don't know if it's blood or fluid from the cart.

Maybe I ran over something.

Hey, you must not!

- Go ahead, on your feet. - Satisfied?

I said. I only have a spare there....
