Bull

Ladies and gentlemen,

Where's your fiancé?

Formation, formation!

Go, Lauren!

Lauren, you okay?

I'm so sorry, Kelvin.

I totally blanked. No, you're doing an amazing job.

It's okay, it happens.

Okay? Come on, shake it off, okay?

Shake it off. You got it, you're okay.

All right.

Baby, it's me again.

I'm on my way home; Hopefully, you'll be there.

Call me back.

I know you're angry, but please, just let me explain.

Babe?

Jules?

Babe!

In a shocking development,

controversial celebrity defense attorney Jules Caffrey

has been arrested for the murder of his fiancée, Lauren Wilson.

Of course, Caffrey first garnered national attention

15 years ago,

when he won the landmark Abel Alcindor case.

In the years since, Caffrey has defended

a number of infamous criminal clients,

including a long list of celebrities.

Jules Caffrey is a successful black man in America.

Of course they're going after him.

There's only one JC I'd pray to if I got in trouble:

Jules Caffrey. The guy's a legend.

He's scum. He deserves to go to prison

just like any other killer.

I think it's pretty clear we have a rock solid case

against Jules Caffrey.

Fingerprints, DNA evidence,

and a key eyewitness that all link Mr. Caffrey

to the murder of his fiancée.

JC cannot talk his way out of this one.

He is going to prison.

Whoa, Bull.

Bull, look. Ooh, purple tank, 4:00.

She's checking you out, my friend.

You gotta see this, Bull. Look closer.

Purple tank has a wedding ring.

Although, that was a valiant attempt

at trying to distract me.

Well,

you bet me twice in a row, I had to try something.

Next drink's on you.

Yes.

Look what I found.

A cupcake for my cupcake. Oh...

Wes.

Computer nerd humor. Nice.

And now, he's fighting to clear his own name.

Please welcome Jules Caffrey.

Jules Caffrey on Gayle King?

Now this should be entertaining.

What do you have to say about that?

The charges are a complete fabrication, Gayle.

Lauren and I were in love.

These vindictive attacks by the NYPD and the DA's office

is an insult to me, to Lauren

and to the entire justice system.

Confident body language,

expressive, emotional.

Knows how to play to an audience.

- Not to me. - Says the former prosecutor

who lost to him how many times?

Wow.

So how do you intend to prove your innocence?

Well, when the entire system is trying to bring you down,

then you hire the best.

That's why I've brought on the world-renowned

trial consultant Dr. Jason Bull.

What the hell is he talking about?

Dr. Jason Bull is a highly regarded psychologist,

widely considered a pioneer in the field of trial science.

But let's talk about the facts of this particular case.

Why didn't you tell us we took on Jules Caffrey?

Because we didn't.

The great Dr. Jason Bull, everybody.

My partner.

Jules Caffrey.

You've got a lot of fans.

I'm not exactly one of them.

You don't get my help by lying about hiring me.

It got you here, didn't it?

Yeah. Well, so would a text with a smiley face emoji.

You pull that crap again and I'll be on Gayle King

saying how you did hire me,

but I quit, 'cause I couldn't believe

how guilty I found you.

Wait, wait. I'm not guilty.

Just hear me out.

Thank you, guys.

Thank you so much.

I see.

Well, renovations can cause

a lot of tension in a relationship.

Eh, it's Lauren's idea.

She wants everything to be Tiffany blue.

She says it'll calm me down.

She "says" that?

I, uh, I meant, uh, "she said that."

Jules Caffrey is a jealous,

controlling man who could not stand to be disobeyed.

The people of New York owe it to Lauren, and to all the women

who live in fear of their abusers, to stand up

and say enough is enough.

She's everywhere.

This whole thing is a witch hunt.

I even set up a tip line

to help them look for the real killer.

Any leads?

None that the police will follow-up on.

They just want me.

Vindictive bastards.

So tell me, Jules.

What's your theory?

I'm sure you have one.

It's possible that Lauren had a fling with someone.

A fling?

Wow.

That's not the ideal fiancée.

It was recent.

A week before all of this,

she was hiding something. I...

Phone calls she didn't want me to hear.

I came to surprise her at the rehearsal, she wasn't there.

Never showed up.

Well, she was 25.

And 20 years younger than I am.

She gets a lot of attention.

And I wasn't always around, so I...

I don't know.

Looking at your wall here,

one of these plaques kind of stands out.

The New York Foundation for Mankind Humanitarian Award,

Jules Caffrey, 1999.

Where'd that guy go?

He has three expensive exes.

Choices.

Now I got a question for you, Mr. Trial Consultant.

Do you believe in justice?

Because you're looking at an innocent man.

Why would you take the case?

'Cause he didn't do it.

And you can tell that

just by meeting him once.

Jules speaks about Lauren in the present tense.

The murder was three months ago.

It's as if he can't believe she's dead,

and killers aren't in denial. I'm with Bull.

I mean, look, the guy's theatrical.

He's a showman in every way,

but he's also done a lot of good.

I don't believe he did it.

The evidence, the witness, this voice mail.

I know you're angry, but please,

just let me explain.

Hear that? She's scared.

The prosecution is honing in on their narrative.

Jules was Lauren's sugar daddy.

Rich, powerful, controlling.

Killed her in a jealous rage.

It's true. The mock jurors hated the Jules and Lauren.

May-December romance.

Well, if he was a saint it would be easy.

He doesn't even have an attorney. Yeah.

I was thinking about that.

No. No, no, no, no.

Look. Jules' only defense

is that the police want payback.

Come on, Bull. I-I can't sell that.

And I'd never expect you to.

And that was the day that I realized

I loved Alfredo sauce.

Hello, trial consultants.

Ready to get to work?

Team.

Meet our client, Jules Caffrey.

And the man who's gonna represent him...

Jules Caffrey.

You want me to defend myself?

Seems to me you're the only one who can.

I cross-referenced the last six months

of Lauren's texts, phone calls and e-mails.

All her top pings are basketball people.

Any family, exes or whatnot?

None. She's a foster kid that bounced around a lot.

Who were her top two contacts?

Dance squad leader, Kelvin Li, and power forward, Grant Combs.

Hmm. Looks like Kelvin held a lot

of private dance sessions with Lauren. And Grant,

just look at him.

I know the squad's wardrobe person from my days at Vogue.

I'm sure she's got some intel.

Let's see what it is.
