All Rise

Previously on "All Rise"...

We finally have a judge who's fair.

I don't know what I'd do if we didn't have her.

I was wondering if Ms. Kansky was gonna drop by.

He likes you!

I don't do cheer during work hours.

If I have questions about gaining another perspective,

- might that be all right? - Yes.

It might be weird, us showing up together.

Two weeks ago, you kissed me in front of all your friends.

But not the whole courthouse.

I haven't tried a murder case in a while.

So? You're the best lawyer I know, Amy.

Best lawyer in L.A. is my son,

and he chooses not to represent me.

Take responsibility for your situation.

I didn't do anything.

I don't believe you.

Ya, ya, sepáranse. Sepáranse.

Be with you in a minute, Ms. Lopez!

Mike, good job.

Let's go! Game on!

Hey.

They're all gang members, FDS?

- Yeah. - And you're the coach?

You kidding? No, I organize the games,

bring the equipment, cold drinks.

Gives me a chance to show 'em there's more to life

besides colors and territories, you know?

- That's amazing, Alex. - Hard to believe, right?

Pssh. Come a long way.

Yeah, I'm done with that life, Ms. Lopez.

I've got a job. I'm a peace ambassador now.

Anyone wants to step back from the life,

organizing things like this

helps them know where to find me.

I'm proud of you.

There's a kid I want you to meet.

He was in FDS, but he's out now.

He's trying. He's a good kid.

I can't be his lawyer. Alex, they have to assign me.

- I'm a P.D. - He just has some questions, that's it.

- What kind of questions? - If something is a crime or isn't.

A specific thing. I'll let him tell you about it.

- Which one is he? - He's not here.

He's back at my place. It's not far.

You need to hurry.

Construction at LAX is a nightmare.

Reading for the plane.

It's a red eye, Sherri. I am going to be sleeping.

Also, your puffy.

They have winter in Washington.

I'm flying to D.C. to talk to my husband.

- Can you believe that? - Also have drinks.

And have drinks with his people, but really just to talk.

You spend all your time texting and on Skype.

You can't have an actual conversation.

So I'm flying to D.C.

Is he getting a job? Is that why you need to talk?

The FBI want him to stay, make it permanent?

Don't know. We don't know.

Please don't move to Washington.

I just got used to you,

and you have so much more to learn.

I love D.C.

Oh, the culture and the politics,

the people from all over the world,

the same city that has got the Supreme Court,

the Museum of African American History,

Howard University, H.U.! My alma mater.

It's the best place on earth.

Don't forget your reading.

Research and case law for upcoming motions.

200 pages.

Each way.

I hate it when the judge leaves town.

I gotta sit around in holding

instead of basking up here in the bright light of justice.

The bar exam's next month.

- Have you applied for clerk positions? - Not yet.

Have you decided which team you're joining...

- Prosecution or defense? - Not yet.

So you have plenty to do. Now go away.

There you are. Good.

Detective Harris, what can I do for you?

- You could call me Kevin. - Eventually, maybe. Not today.

- So listen... - You want to ask me to dinner.

It's been coming for a while. I've been observing the signs.

Go ahead.

I've actually just been called to a murder

literally 30 seconds ago. As I'm sure you're aware,

the first 24 hours of murders are crucial.

I need to focus. Also, it could jinx the date.

So I should solve the murder,

and then I'll come back and...

Okay? I've gotta go.

I still intend to ask you to...

Understood.

I moved us out of the neighborhood.

He's in 12th grade. He got a job.

He just turned 18. He's a good boy.

He hates it when I say that.

- We're talking about tattoo removal. - That's great.

Diego, you talk to Ms. Lopez.

Uh, before you do, Ms. Fondo,

Maria, you, Diego, you both need to know

that I am not his lawyer.

Me dijistes que ella era una abogada.

Sí, soy abogada, pero no del Diego.

El tendría que ser...

Diego, I get assigned my cases

at arraignment, not before.

It's just the way the system...

The point is that anything you say to me

is not covered under attorney-client privilege.

Do you understand?

You didn't tell her?

Tell me what?

The police are looking for Diego.

They came to the house. I told 'em I didn't know where he was.

He's a suspect? I thought you said...

- I thought he had questions. - He's innocent.

He was with me the night of the murder.

- The murder? - Ms. Lopez, please.

You need to understand that he had nothing to do...

Stop talking.

The kids from a rival gang, they shot him,

- but Diego wasn't there. - Stop talking now.

Diego, listen to me. Diego.

If the police are showing up at your house,

they're not going away.

You can be a fugitive for the rest of your life,

or you can surrender.

That's what I told him, but he needs a lawyer.

If he surrenders, he will be assigned a lawyer,

either me or someone else.

It has to be you. You care, Ms. Lopez.

You don't just see the tattoos. You see past them.

If you go in, you do not answer any questions.

You say nothing. Nothing.

Do you understand? Good.

I will try my best to be there for you tomorrow,

but right now I have to go. I have to go.

He's innocent, Ms. Lopez.

Sorry I'm late. A car was literally burning on the 101.

- There were flames. - Brought you a quinoa quiche

from the vegan place around the corner.

Thanks. I've had this quiche.

- Not good, huh? - Let's go. We can talk upstairs.

What's going on? Why'd you want to see me?

- Let's talk upstairs. - I have to get to work.

You really want to do this in the lobby?

Okay.

I got some new discovery last night.

The police recovered a gun in your father's home.

Ballistics?

Matched. It's the murder weapon.

What's Vic saying? He denying it's his?

- That's... privileged. - Privileged.

Don't leap to any conclusions. It doesn't mean...

Doesn't mean he killed her.

You know how this works. It's one piece of the puzzle.

- And anyway... - I got to, uh...

I'll call you.

Mark.

I think I can get it excluded. Don't panic.

There's my baby. There's my baby.

- Hi, baby! - Hey.

Ha ha ha! Mmm!

Mmm!

Whoa! Get inside.

It is freezing.

This? This is balmy.

You can take the man out of California.

You got jokes.

Ooh, I didn't read a single page.

Sherri is gonna be so mad at me.

So, this thing tonight...

This drinks thing.

Mm-hmm. They're looking forward to meeting you.

My temp duty is going well. People like me, apparently.

Can you please just cut to the chase?

Deputy Assistant Director

of the Criminal Investigative Division.

- I'm getting an offer. - When?

- Soon. - Ah!

Congratulations, baby. I'm so proud of you.

It's your dream job.

I know I was only supposed to be here for a couple of months.

Wait. How long is the...

We won't know until they make the offer.

But once they do, I'll pitch working

part-time in L.A., part-time in D.C.

Does the FBI let people do that?

Not usually, but I'm sure I could swing it.

- I can be pretty convincing. - Yeah, you can.

We're gonna talk about it. We're gonna think it through.

Nothing's been decided yet,

but right now I have to go in.

I can't believe you're going to work.
