Burden of Truth

Your client is incapacitated

and in need of legal protection.

If you don't put someone forward, the court will.

It should be me. I'll do it.

We just put a giant target on your back.

That's... an offer.

So is the position after graduation.

Highest starting salary in the city.

- Think it over. - I think I messed up.

That girl from the van, I kind of

took her back to my place and finished the interview.

And she was so close to talking. She called someone when I was

- out and they just... took off. - They think Helen fell asleep

at the wheel. They found medication on her that causes drowsiness.

Does it say anything about the second car?

- What? - Helen's driving down the road,

a second car cuts her off. Second car re-corrects and makes

the scrub mark, drives away. Her car veers

that way into the ditch and rolls.

I need you to understand how serious this is, kip.

I just thought if I do one job, I'll have enough money for my own place.

I love you, and I would like to argue with you

for the rest of our lives, if you'll let me.

Joanna Chang, will you marry me?

Joanna Chang, we have a warrant for your arrest.

I have to go.

- Pick up. Pick up. Pick up. Pick up.

- Hey. - Don't worry, Cass.

Everything is going to be fine.

Your mother is one of the toughest people

I have ever met in my life.

Is something funny?

I don't understand. What is the charge?!

Why won't you say anything?

You think there are no consequences for your actions,

but I can't imagine the devastation you've

left in your wake.

- Where is she? - She's in the holding cell.

- Are you serious? - I'm sorry, I can't.

- It's not our show. - I didn't know, Billy.

I lent the feds a couple of cops to carry out a warrant.

I had no idea. Look, I'll find out what I can. Sit tight.

- Owen! - I know.

It's gonna be all right.

Don't worry.

It's always worse in your imagination.

Yeah, I don't have an imagination.

In your head, that thing you're picturing is worse than

- what's actually gonna happen. - I have 15 years experience

in the legal justice system. I think I know how bad it can get.

- There's nothing you can do. Get some sleep or something.

My daughter's gonna wake up soon. I need to get home.

- You have a baby? Did you tell the cops that?

Maybe they'll let you go.

- I'm a lawyer. This is a misunderstanding.

Well, in my 15 years of experience

in the legal system, when someone says

it's a misunderstanding, it usually isn't.

- I need clear this up. - Mm-hmm.

- Guard! - This is her partner.

She's just stepped away from her phone for a minute.

You know, now is not really...

Yep. She will do her best.

OK...

Hey. It's me. Look, everything is fine.

- I just need you to... - Joanna's been arrested.

I'm already on my way.

Billy, what happened? Is she OK?

- She's... she's fine. We'll talk about it

when you get here. I just...

I need you to do something for me first.

Anything we say here is on the record. It is being recorded

and may be used against you in a trial.

If you could just tell me

what the charges are, I'm sure that I could clear this all up.

I wanna make sure that you are aware of your right to counsel.

- Why won't you answer me? - And that you are sitting here

of your own volition.

Fine.

I would like to make sure that you are aware

that I have more education and legal experience

than your entire department combined.

I am not here of my own volition.

I was sitting in my house with my family

of my own volition. I am sitting here now

because you raided my house in the middle of the night

like it was a drug lab and ripped me away

from my five-month-old baby.

The phrasing that you were supposed to use...

Is am I speaking to you of my own volition.

And the answer to that is...

Yes.

Hey, we need to find...

- Chief? - Billy. She's talking.

What?!

- Uh... here, take Cassidy. - Uh...

Take this human?

You're all over the map here.

I don't know what my travel history and CTS

- have to do... - you're avoiding the question.

I am not avoiding the question.

- This is not your jurisdiction. You need to wait outside.

- Excuse me, Mr.? - Cassidy. Officer Cassidy.

Oh.

OK. Well, officer Cassidy,

- I'm an attorney. - Ms. Chang has waived

- her right to counsel. - Ms. Chang made a bad decision.

What she should do now is reassert her right to counsel

and say nothing until she speaks to someone.

I reassert my right to counsel.

- Thank you. If you'd excuse us, please.

I hope you remember this moment when it all goes

to hell.

Hey.

- Billy, something's wrong here. I don't know

- what's going on. - It's OK. It's gonna be OK.

- I didn't do anything. - I know you didn't.

We are gonna figure this out. It will all be fine.

We have to change Cassidy's name.

Yeah, I figured.

- I can't believe I talked. That's 101.

They don't teach getting arrested in law school.

- You're under pressure. - It's no excuse.

Did you say anything?

I don't know! I don't even know why I'm in here!

It's OK. We're gonna find out.

As my lawyer, what's our next step?

I'm not gonna be your lawyer.

- What? - I have someone else in mind.

Someone better suited for this.

So, um...

Heh.

What are you in here for?

Aggravated assault.

Oh! Uh...

Well, I am...

Sure it will all work itself out.

- Luna! - Hey.

- It's gonna be OK. - I know.

Thank you.

- I was so... - I know.

I'm OK.

I knew you wouldn't leave me in there, so I hope

you know I'm not gonna leave you in here either.

OK?

- OK. - So sweet.

Why are you allowed back here?

I'm part of your new legal team.

- Do we really need... - No.

Are you gonna listen to me?

- Yes. - Mm-mm. I need more than that.

I'm not gonna be your instrument.

If I'm gonna represent you, I need to know that you're gonna

do what I say.

- Yes. - Then I think this should work out.

- Very well. Can we get back... - What are you still doing here?

Ahem!

I'm sorry Joanna.

Why?

- You've pissed someone off. They wanna come down

- hard on you. - Yeah, but I didn't

- do anything. - Not according to the crown.

The charge is securities fraud.

- That doesn't make any sense. - And they're gonna push for

- the maximum custodial sentence. - What's the full sentence?

14 years in jail.

They found plane tickets to an unspecified

non-extradition country in your name.

- You going on vacation? - We weren't going anywhere.

They're setting me up.

- Any enemies of note? - We don't keep a list.

But... yes.

- This is serious. The tickets are evidence

of an intention to flee and they want bail to be revoked.

- What?! - I'll look into the plane tickets.

No time to waste.

Then you better let go.

It's gonna be fine.

Luna, hey.

- Hey! - Oh, how is it with, uh...

Yeah, it's gonna be fine...

Probably. How are you?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, it's OK.

Matheson.

To think I could've inherited a steel mill.

See you.

BOLO's out on the boyfriend's car, we just need to track her down.

- How's Luna doing with Joanna? - Fine, probably.

I'm telling you, Dee will talk. We just need to find her.

Any luck with the others?

Stay on the boyfriend. Ride the radio.

- We need names. - OK. What about Dee?

She's the only one who looked like she might roll.

- Dee's one woman. It's bigger than that.

Stay on the boyfriend. Keep me in the loop.

Where are you going?
