COUNSELOR-AT-LAW

- Hello? - Making progress?

Almost done.

The building super won't testify.

- What? - The building super won't testify.

Will the jury buy this?

That's my problem, I'll deal with it.

We'll make the case for suicide.

Suicide.

You got it.

Sure, sir.

- I'm counting on you. - I'm on it.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

This prick kills his wife

and we call it suicide.

GABRIEL MENDOZA OPENING ARGUMENT

A routine case?

Mr. Magistrate,

your Honor,

honorable lawyers for the family of the deceased,

honorable colleagues for the plaintiff,

esteemed members of the jury, etc.

I agree with my colleagues from the prosecution.

This case is far too...

commonplace.

It's a case about violence.

Thanks.

More coffee?

Please.

A big-hearted man, now a victim

of the media that repeatedly slandered him.

Excuse me?

You'll be late.

You're right, shit!

Gabriel Mendoza

did not kill his wife!

She took her own life!

This is a trial by the media

that repeatedly slander him!

They subjected my client and his wife to public scrutiny.

We are right to blame him

and to condemn the harm he's done.

Today, I wish...

Well...

That idiot forgets everything.

I wish to appeal

to your consciences, ladies and gentlemen.

I wish to appeal to your consciences, ladies and gentlemen.

- Do you think my client... - Do you think my client...

He looks like such a criminal.

Against any woman? Against any person?

I have refuted not one,

but all the prosecution's arguments.

I demand the release of my client...

Mr. Gabriel Mendoza.

Thank you.

What bullshit!

My client and I never doubted our country's judicial system.

Hello, Mom?

Yes, we won.

We won!

Yes, I'm glad.

But I feel like I ate shit.

I said...

No, forget it.

Sunday?

Uh, yes, yes, yes. The thing is...

No, I have tons of work.

I'll call you back, Mom.

Wish me luck. Okay.

Excuse me.

- Got a tampon? - Yes.

I'm out of whack.

- Don't worry. - Thanks.

This is a case that really stands out.

Fuck.

Mom, can I call you back?

Ms. Rita Mora Castro?

Yes? What?

Why are you in the bathroom?

You're the one deserving of applause, Counselor.

Who is this?

Do you want to become rich?

I have a proposition for you.

Be at the newsstand in 10 minutes.

Excuse me, but I don't know who...

Hello?

After all...

DEATH

SHOT 8 TIMES!

MASSACRED IN THE STREET

- Ma'am? - Yes.

Calm down.
