Bull

Previously on Bull...

Arthur.

Wasn't sure you'd remember me after 12 years.

Have you got any new evidence? How about a signed confession?

We need these commissioners to grant parole

to a guy who's been convicted of double murder.

My name is Leo Craddick,

and I'm Arthur Craddick's son.

12 years of prison is enough to break most anyone's soul.

Please extend

this opportunity to him.

Hey, Detective Kaminsky,

cops who place innocent people behind bars

need to face consequences.

This young man just threatened me.

Leonard Craddick, you are under arrest

for the murder of Detective Joseph Kaminsky.

Anything you say... Kaminsky's dead.

You gonna miss it?

Not even a little.

Bus usually comes on the hour.

You might have to wait a bit.

My son's picking me up.

Guard inside just texted him for me.

Got it all planned out.

Gonna stop at the first open pizza place we see.

Good luck, Craddick.

Says here.

Kaminsky was parked across the street

from a 24-hour bodega

when he was shot in his car at close range.

CCTV cam captured a suspect fleeing the scene

who roughly matches Leo's height and weight.

I would think a quarter of the world's population

roughly matches Leo's height and weight.

Boy.

Here's something. According to this,

a palm print was recovered from the roof of the victim's car.

They're saying it's a match to Leo's.

Palm print.

A conscientious grad student spends years

working with his inmate father, pouring over court documents,

filing motions, tracking down witnesses,

and they finally get their day in court,

and suddenly, murder is the only way they can get what they want.

I don't care what they say they found on that guy's car.

I don't buy it.

Hey, stranger, need a lift?

Mr. Colón.

Mr. Craddick.

I can't. I'm waiting for Leo.

He should be along any minute.

Actually, Leo has been detained.

Hey, Leo.

Look, I'm trying every trick in the book

to get you out of here, but you are accused of killing a cop,

so the likelihood... I know.

Okay.

By the way, we spoke with your landlord.

Told him your father had been exonerated,

and he said he was fine with letting your dad stay there.

Benny's picking him up at prison right now.

Thank you.

Mr. Craddick,

my name's Chester Palmer.

I'm an attorney in Dr. Bull's office.

He and I will be spearheading your case.

And what ismy case?

On what basis am I being accused of this crime?

What in the world did I have to gain

- by killing a police detective? - Well,

Leo, it's only the morning after.

We don't have a lot of answers.

I'm sorry.

Am I being impatient with the wheels of justice?

I certainly didn't mean to be rude.

It's only my freedom.

It's only my life.

I would like to know.

Why am I here?

You want to know the truth?

You look the part.

Yeah?

Well, so do you.

Kind of.Yeah. Not really.

I aged out of that angry young Black man category

a long time ago, but you... You fit the profile perfectly.

Which is why the most important thing

that we have to do right now is remind them

that you are not that person.

You are an educated, socially-engaged young citizen.

And that this is an incredible miscarriage of justice.

So we're gonna need you to take it on good faith

that we're doing everything that we can as fast as we can.

Don't have much choice, do I?

Let's start at the beginning.

They know exactly what time

- that detective was shot... - 19 p.m.

So we need to know... where were you two nights ago at 11:19?

I was at home. Asleep.

Is there anyone who can verify that?

Verify that I was asleep?

No. I live alone.

So you don't have an alibi?

Guess not. Didn't know I'd be needing one.

You know they found your hand print

on Detective Kaminsky's car.

Well... there you go.

That's simply not possible.

Unless the cops planted it, which I'm sure they did.

Okay, well, we'll continue to investigate that possibility.

We'll take nothing for granted,

but why don't we give some thought as to

how that print could have legitimately gotten there?

Hey, man, I didn't even know the man had a car.

I wouldn't know Kaminsky's car if it ran over me.

Okay, but you were seen verbally accosting him at the courthouse.

He locked up an innocent man.

He robbed me of my father for over 12 years.

We're just trying

to give you an idea of what you're up against here.

But I didn't do it.

Again, why would I do it?

How does it help me?

He's a cop, and you're a man

who's shown anger towards the cops

for reasons that make perfect sense to the two of us.

But that anger

in a courtroom

is gonna play right into the district attorney's hands.

Let's get down to it here.

Leo, you ever attend any demonstrations,

rallies, protests that would be considered anti-police?

What do you think?

You ever speak at any of these rallies?

Lead any of these rallies? I certainly have.

And would the D.A.'s office recognize the name

of any of these groups that you were associated with?

You ever heard of Black Lives Matter?

Say the name.

There is no fear in that name.

It is a simple statement of fact.

Black... Lives... Matter.

No one is disagreeing with you.

We're just trying to figure out how to defend you.

Curfew's 10:00 p.m.

Failure to make curfew,

failure of any random drug screening,

failure to secure employment

and/or failure to notify of any change

of employment or residence,

and your parole is subject to revocation.

Understood? Yes, ma'am, I understand.

Officer Schiraldi, my client has a special request.

Now, his son is currently being held at Rikers,

and we were hoping that you would be willing

to authorize such a visit.

I'm sorry, but that is not possible.

Well, you should know

that A.D.A. Glover has filed a motion

to vacate the conviction against my client,

which we are very confident will be granted.

And since my client has been barred from the courtroom

due to COVID restrictions, we were hoping

that you would make an exception.

I understand you have a job to do,

but I have been away from my son for over 12 years,

and now he needs me.

I understand.

But in my experience,

allowing felons to visit prisons is just asking for trouble.

Now, once you're exonerated,

you are free to do what you want.

But in the meantime, I'm sorry, the answer is still no.

Urine sample.

I need to walk him

down to the bathroom.

You mind showing us where it is?

Mr. Palmer, you have

a pretrial motion you'd like the court to hear

with regard to some of the prosecution's evidence?

Yes, Your Honor.

I'm requesting permission to exclude any mention

of my client's involvement with Black Lives Matter

or photographic evidence of affiliation with same.

With the court's permission,

we'd like to direct your attention to the monitors

that are at the front of the courtroom.

Now, I would like to make note

that investigations after the fact proved

that the police car in this photo was set on fire

by people who are not associated with my client

or the Black Lives Matter movement.

Nonetheless, the prosecution would like

to present this photo solely with the purpose

of inflaming the jury.

Now, given the intense media coverage

of this trial

and the current climate with regards to law enforcement,

inclusion of photos like these
