All Rise

Mark only kissed Rachel because Mark did what?

Grab your bag, leave.

- That looks like it hurts. - Nah. I'm tough.

This is David Sanders, strategist

for my attorney general campaign.

That cop-hating attorney is trying

to pit you against your brothers.

You're either with us or you're against us!

You are safe with me, always.

Can't you curl the ribbon any faster?

She'll be here at any minute.

Each one has to look perfect.

You better pick up the pace. Um...

Good morning, Judge Carmichael. I'm behind.

It took a while to get Bailey settled with the nanny.

First time doing it solo.

Aw. Has the defendant accepted Choi's deal?

Not yet. Trial's still on.

Day one, and it's business as usual.

Can't wait to see you.

And to get back to normal. No fanfare, no fuss.

Right, ladies?

What is what is your exact ETA, Your Honor?

Seven minutes, max. Just turned on Broadway.

Don't forget to park in the new judges' lot, okay?

'Kay. Great. Bye! Gosh.

Just pop 'em, just pop 'em! Pop 'em!

You wanted to see me?

- You got a blazer on you? - Y-yes.

Great. I need a second chair.

I didn't know the head deputy prosecutes trials.

Well, thanks to COVID, I'm short on D.A.s.

Besides, felony swatting is a big one.

Let's send them a clear message that calling in

a false 9-1-1 threat is a crime, not a prank.

It's Judge Carmichael's first trial since maternity leave.

She's always had a bleeding heart.

Curious to see if our young defendant

makes it bleed even more.

Is there still an offer on the table?

Yes, and if Ms. Quinn's client

has any sense at all, she'll take it.

- Ms. Quinn as in Amy Quinn? - That's the one.

She tore me to shreds on a motion to suppress last year.

Can't blame the shark for nabbing the guppy.

No more guppies in these waters, though?

Well, we shall see. Follow me.

Victim's in the conference room.

Where is she? It's been an hour.

The fact that a sheriff deputy

agreed to talk at all is a miracle.

Yeah, Joaquin, we need to talk about...

- Hey, Em. - What's up, Lopez?

Sorry, guys, I'm on a call.

Um ...aquin, I've been calling you all day.

Is now an okay time to talk?

- Emily, you're scaring me. - I kissed Luke.

I have been trying to get a hold of you to tell you.

How did it happen?

He was going through some stuff, and hehe...

He needed my help, and we just we just kissed.

Do you want to be with Luke?

No.

I-I miss you.

Joaquin, I miss you like crazy.

But Luke... you know, it's just

I'm so sorry.

I should go.

Oka...

What in the...

Carmichael! So good to see you.

Lisa! Sorry, I was checking in with the nanny.

Weird to be away from Bailey.

It's like having phantom limb syndrome,

except the limb is my child.

I felt the same way after having Ben.

All the gear!

So much mommy gear!

Yeah. You'll adjust.

Glad to have you back, Carmichael.

You guys.

Aw...

It's my first photo with Bailey.

And it can go right next to your hero.

Shoot. I thought I muted that.

Still no word on the plea deal?

- Not a peep. - Looks like Ms. Quinn has

her work cut out for her on this case.

Well, it's caffeine o'clock.

Shoot! I forgot my lattes on top of my car.

- The car. - On it.

Um...

- Sherri? - Yes, Your Honor?

- I forgot my cooler. - Your cool your cooler?

- For my breast milk. - Breast milk.

My liquid gold.

Liquid gold? Right. Um...

Have Ms. Johnson cover my desk.

I will be on cooler duty.

Um, right.

It's still not too late to accept the D.A.'s offer.

I can't, Ms. Quinn. I mean, what about college?

And I'll never be able to get a job.

- This is so unfair. - I'll try to argue for a misdemeanor,

- but it's a long shot. - My parents retained.

Audubon & Associates to make this go away.

The 9-1-1 call and your browser history

aren't going anywhere. You're facing three years.

What'll it be, Ms. Quinn?

Morning, Tommy, Ms. Powers.

- Ms. Powell. - Doesn't ring a bell.

Quinn, I'm waiting.

You reject their deal, they'll push for the highest sentence.

- Going once... - I can't.

- Going twice... - Please, help me, Ms. Quinn.

Gone. We'll do this the hard way.

All rise.

Mr. Choi, what was your last offer?

Plead to a felony. Two years' probation,

credit time served.

Ms. Quinn, is your client interested in the offer?

The defense is ready for trial.

- Mr. Choi? - The People are ready.

It's great to be back.

Mr. Heines, what is your occupation?

I'm the dean at Culver City College.

Did something unusual happen on March 31, 2020?

An active shooter was reported on campus.

A SWAT team responded to the 9-1-1 call.

Did you interact with the SWAT team?

Yes. Um, I-I stepped out to water my begonias,

and then suddenly something like a dozen SWAT officers

trapped me, shouting and pointing

- huge guns in my face. - What happened after

you were surrounded by the SWAT officers?

I, um, I heard a gunshot and, um, screaming.

What happened after you heard a gunshot?

I just remember that my stomach was on fire, and I passed out.

A day later, I woke up in the hospital,

14 stitches to patch the bullet wound

and a cane to help me walk.

Did you have any idea at the time

why the SWAT team showed up at your residence?

Not the faintest clue.

And how did this incident impact your campus?

All 1,600 students and faculty had to be evacuated,

believing that the threat of

an active shooter was imminent.

Nothing further.

Ms. Quinn, you may cross-examine.

Did Marnie Forstall shoot you on March 31st, Mr. Heines?

To my knowledge, no.

- Who pulled the trigger, then? - Objection.

Calls for speculation, lack of foundation,

- lack of personal knowledge. - He may answer if he knows.

I believe it was one of the SWAT officers.

- So why did he shoot you? - Objection.

Calls for speculation, lack of foundation,

- lack of personal knowledge. - Sustained.

Rephrase, Ms. Quinn.

- Were you armed? - No,

but I was holding a watering can.

I guess it could've looked like a weapon to the officers.

Do you think these paramilitary officers

used excessive force in shooting you, Mr. Heines?

Objection. Relevance and argumentative.

Your Honor, the actions of the SWAT officers

is relevant to whether my client should've known

that the response to the 9-1-1 call

was likely to cause great bodily injury.

Overruled.

Mr. Heines, did you expect the SWAT officers

to fire their weapons?

I was afraid they would.

But did you think it was likely they would fire

and cause you to sustain the injuries you sustained?

No.

No further questions.

Deputy Riley. Pleasure to meet you.

Not often that I get asked to meet off the record.

I'm curious what you know

about Wayne McCarthy's training practices.

- Can't help you. - We're just following a tip.

- Your name came up. - I was a T.O.

along with McCarthy. That's all you need to know.

All the guys on this list were trained by McCarthy.

They're linked for some reason. We need to know why.

Your name's on here. What's your best guess?

If we knew, we wouldn't be asking.

Pham was one of McCarthy's first trainees. Real zealous.

Already put a call out to him.

Buy him Wita's, he'll sing like a bird.

Lee Lori's not on here.

- What can he tell us? - Ask Lee Lori.

Have a good day, fellas.

What about Lori?

I know how to get a hold of him.

Meantime, let's find Deputy Pham.

Mom and Dad still not coming?
