All Rise

It feels like Andre and I are going to the next level.

And I am happy for you. Honestly.

We were a thing, like, a million years ago.

Are you serious? We use that...

Do you have a better idea?

Please, come over here and enlighten me, Callan.

You know, I'm good.

Mark Callan. Head deputy district attorney.

It's got a nice ring to it.

We are suspending the pursuance of cash bail

for misdemeanors, non-violent, and non-serious felony of fences.

Reporting on the high-profile Los Angeles murder

of renowned 63-year-old philanthropist,

Reba McAllister,

wife of successful cardiothoracic surgeon,

George McAllister, of Tarzana, California.

This case has certainly created a buzz,

and especially with the news that Los Angeles...

You've gotta go. Somebody reported you.

But I can't do it.

Texas State Police just arrested Dr. Farooq.

They're coming for you next.

Here's some clothes and your antibiotics.

Leave out the back. Now.

Honey, those are egg whites.

That's disgusting.

Honey...

You still upset about Vic getting mugged?

No, the old man is fine, he's already

bounced back at the tables in Vegas.

It's Bravo, he's second-guessing

all of my strategies.

I understand he's under a lot of pressure,

but he gave me three pages of notes on just my opening.

Sounds like you need a little downtime.

Or maybe even a little...

Sexy time.

What do you say you and I pull the goalie?

Where is this comin' from?

Well, I was just thinking,

you know, we're not in our twenties anymore,

and we both know we wanna start a family someday, so

you know, if it happens, it happens.

I just assumed that after we babysat Bailey

you seemed like...

Like a terrible babysitter?

Well, I mean, we didn't know what we were doing, right?

But don't you feel like

most new parents feel that way?

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess.

Okay.

Let's, um

let's do it.

Great.

Because I actually already had an appointment

at the O.B.G.Y.N., but I do need a sample from you.

Just to do a count.

You already got the container?

I can't do this now.

Well, just get it done.

Bravo's calling.

Yes, sir.

Sir, please don't.

- Good morning, Your Honor. - Good morning.

Breaking news.

A poll shows the "“Recall Bravo" ” movement is winning.

It's like they want to blame him for every problem in the city.

- Could it happen? - I don't know.

- I feel bad for him. - Yeah.

Some of his reforms were

trying to do the right thing.

This Reba McAllister murder?

Is a political blow, for sure.

Her killer would have been in jail

on a burglary charge, but instead he was released

as a result of Bravo no longer seeking cash bail.

I've been reading about her all morning.

A renowned philanthropist.

I've known her since I was a kid.

She was incredible.

Roxy took it especially hard.

They knew each other from their work in the community.

It's just absolutely tragic.

My heart just breaks for her husband.

Life is precious.

This morning, I thought I heard her in the house.

She has

had the most loving smile.

40 years together.

Wow, your wife is just beautiful.

Um, so, court is about to start.

Do you need anything?

I need to see that man punished.

How come I can't be in the courtroom?

Unfortunately, witnesses aren't allowed to watch the trial

until after they testify.

Judge Marshall's a real stickler and has limited

who can be in the courtroom given the publicity.

Look, why don't we go back to my office?

We have a lovely conference room,

and I can set you up there and...

And get you some tea, all right?

Nate Benty. KXCU.

Dr. McAllister, do you blame DA Bravo

for your wife's death given his policy on bail

contributed to the release of your wife's killer?

- I do have some thoughts... - No... no comment at this time.

I'm speaking to Dr. McAllister.

Yeah, and I'm telling you to back off.

My Reba would've loved you.

Seems like everyone already found me guilty.

I only care about the 12 members of the jury.

You think they're any different?

If I do my job right, then hopefully yes.

All rise, the Honorable Thomas Marshall, presiding.

You may be seated.

Are the people ready to bring in the jury?

Could we just get a few more minutes, Your Honor?

Co-counsel should be here any minute.

Sorry I'm late, Your Honor.

I forgot how long

those elevator lines get on Monday mornings.

Excuse me, Mark.

- Miss Lopez. - Hello.

Hello.

Um...

Your Honor

given that district attorney Bravo

is a well-known public figure,

the defense objects to his presence in court,

as it may greatly influence the jury.

- Sir, I've got this. - Mr. Bravo, while I'm deciding

whether or not to kick you out of my courtroom,

to what do we owe this pleasure?

Your Honor, I am here to try this defendant

for the murder of Reba McAllister.

Are you... is he even allowed to try a case?

As the elected district attorney of Los Angeles, yes.

Well, who says that Mondays are boring?

Let's bring in the jury.

I am so glad you're in town.

We are closing the Audubon,

Quinn and Associates merger with Andre's firm.

Right, and Robin's still working back in DC,

and you and I haven't seen each other in months.

- It's just been really busy. - Me too.

But I was thinking, dinner? Tonight?

Yeah, that's, that's great.

Something casual? Bavel? Seven?

Great. We meet at my place, we can ride together.

- That sounds good. - See you tonight.

- Awesome. - Rachel just referred

to one of LA's hottest restaurants as casual.

I love it.

But... but what?

You still haven't told her about Andr... no.

And you can go now.

- No. - Stop it.

I was so lucky that nurse helped me.

But I still can't believe Dr. Farooq is in jail.

- She's our family doctor. - Aiding and abetting.

Abortion is a felony.

What a world, in the 21st century.

Back to the warrant.

You're a fugitive who's wanted in Texas

for medical identity theft.

- Three months ago. - Why did you use

a fake ID to get an abortion?

I was scared.

Texas has a law

that lets people sue women.

Happened to my friend Erika

after her abortion.

My mom and dad barely get by as it is.

So, a friend drove me to California.

I've been here ever since, staying with cousins.

- Until you got pulled over. - I didn't do anything wrong.

- I just started nursing school. - No, we get it.

Losing these basic human rights is destroying

the lives of women all over our country.

I'm terrified of prisons.

Maya, your case is important to us.

And we are going to help you.

The Los Angeles DA is not going to enforce this warrant,

given they have their own massive backlog

of their own cases.

And since this is a relatively open

and shut matter, Ness, why don't you take lead?

Right on, thank you, Amy, but, look, I got this.

We got this.

So, you're telling me Miss Avila has been in county jail

for five days for using a fake ID?

Yes, Your Honor, and under the Texas anti-abortion statute,

the woman getting the procedures

cannot be charged with the crime,

so this charge is just a pretext.

Miss Avila had just started her first semester

at a top nursing program,

only now she's facing prison.
