1
00:00:01,093 --> 00:00:02,394
Previously on "All Rise"...

2
00:00:02,461 --> 00:00:06,183
I kissed Luke. I have been
trying to tell you.

3
00:00:06,208 --> 00:00:07,575
Do you want to be with Luke?

4
00:00:07,642 --> 00:00:09,477
I care for both of them,
and trying to choose,

5
00:00:09,544 --> 00:00:11,178
I feel like I just... I can't.

6
00:00:11,246 --> 00:00:12,780
Amy kicked me out
of the house. Thank you.

7
00:00:12,848 --> 00:00:14,582
Get mad at those
thin little lips of yours.

8
00:00:14,649 --> 00:00:16,450
You need to
come clean about your marriage.

9
00:00:16,518 --> 00:00:18,486
Collier, I've fallen
in love with someone.

10
00:00:18,553 --> 00:00:20,187
I'm gonna have to tell him about us.

11
00:00:20,255 --> 00:00:21,756
Sorry. Sara, I have to go.

12
00:00:21,823 --> 00:00:23,457
Oh... Nikki?

13
00:00:23,525 --> 00:00:27,261
I heard them get into an... altercation.

14
00:00:27,329 --> 00:00:29,397
I've known Whitney for years.

15
00:00:29,464 --> 00:00:30,564
It's not what I thought.

16
00:00:30,632 --> 00:00:32,600
I'm sorry I disturbed you.

17
00:00:32,644 --> 00:00:34,668
Ms. Castillo... Sara, hold on.

18
00:00:34,748 --> 00:00:35,989
What do you know about McCarthy

19
00:00:36,041 --> 00:00:37,371
fabricating witness statements?

20
00:00:37,439 --> 00:00:39,340
Watkins, you signed
a statement for McCarthy

21
00:00:39,408 --> 00:00:40,875
when we were fresh out of the academy.

22
00:00:40,942 --> 00:00:41,942
You don't remember?

23
00:00:51,653 --> 00:00:53,220
This is how mornings should start.

24
00:00:53,288 --> 00:00:54,889
You can't possibly need all this.

25
00:00:54,956 --> 00:00:56,524
If this lawyering thing
doesn't work out,

26
00:00:56,591 --> 00:00:58,259
you would make an excellent pack mule.

27
00:00:58,326 --> 00:00:59,819
The least I can do for letting
me stay in your guest house.

28
00:00:59,876 --> 00:01:01,195
Amy ready to forgive you yet?

29
00:01:01,263 --> 00:01:03,364
Last time she said my name,
she didn't use any expletives.

30
00:01:03,432 --> 00:01:04,999
You ready for today?

31
00:01:05,066 --> 00:01:07,301
How do you get ready to have
another judge as a defendant?

32
00:01:07,369 --> 00:01:09,236
- It feels wrong.
- Not just any judge...

33
00:01:09,304 --> 00:01:10,738
Prudence Jenkins is a legend.

34
00:01:10,806 --> 00:01:12,773
I saw her on the bench
when I was in college.

35
00:01:12,841 --> 00:01:14,909
It made me realize I could be a judge.

36
00:01:14,976 --> 00:01:16,911
But when they filed those
bribery charges against her...

37
00:01:16,978 --> 00:01:19,613
- Bomb went off.
- I am just getting back to work.

38
00:01:19,681 --> 00:01:21,894
Why can't I get any low-grade felonies?

39
00:01:21,977 --> 00:01:24,151
How's the McCarthy case going?

40
00:01:24,219 --> 00:01:25,486
So much work.

41
00:01:25,554 --> 00:01:26,987
I'm just worried about
what judge we get.

42
00:01:27,055 --> 00:01:29,156
Mm. And Laski's court
is opening back up.

43
00:01:29,224 --> 00:01:30,958
What?!

44
00:01:31,026 --> 00:01:32,326
What? You knew that.

45
00:01:32,394 --> 00:01:33,928
Is this the face
of someone who knew that?

46
00:01:33,995 --> 00:01:35,663
No, it's the face of someone
who's leaving right now.

47
00:01:35,730 --> 00:01:38,299
Sherri, do you always
get here this early?

48
00:01:38,366 --> 00:01:40,968
I get here before you. It's
the natural order of things.

49
00:01:41,036 --> 00:01:43,170
- You do not have an appointment.
- I was helping with her bags.

50
00:01:43,238 --> 00:01:44,472
He was just leaving.

51
00:01:44,539 --> 00:01:46,407
Don't worry. You will not get Laski.

52
00:01:46,475 --> 00:01:48,409
If I do, I'm gonna have to remove him.

53
00:01:48,477 --> 00:01:49,877
Do not paper Laski!

54
00:01:49,945 --> 00:01:51,037
He'll hold it against
everyone in your office.

55
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,247
Go good.

56
00:01:53,315 --> 00:01:55,516
Go good. Sherri, always a pleasure

57
00:01:58,019 --> 00:01:59,820
You do go home, right?

58
00:02:05,060 --> 00:02:06,427
Good morning.

59
00:02:06,495 --> 00:02:07,995
Good morning!

60
00:02:08,063 --> 00:02:10,931
- Hi. How you holding up?
- Oh, I'm fine.

61
00:02:11,317 --> 00:02:13,534
Things are weird between Benner and me,

62
00:02:13,602 --> 00:02:14,869
but... I'm fine.

63
00:02:14,936 --> 00:02:16,670
I'm sure you're both
worried about Nikki.

64
00:02:16,738 --> 00:02:18,639
When kids are endangered
by their parent, it...

65
00:02:18,707 --> 00:02:20,808
No, it is a beautiful morning,

66
00:02:20,876 --> 00:02:23,544
and I am trying to count my blessings.

67
00:02:23,612 --> 00:02:25,513
Absolutely. Stay positive.

68
00:02:25,580 --> 00:02:28,082
Distract me. Have you
heard from Joaquin?

69
00:02:28,149 --> 00:02:30,451
- Radio silence.
- Do you want to hear from Joaquin?

70
00:02:30,519 --> 00:02:32,353
- Hey, Sara.
- Yeah.

71
00:02:32,420 --> 00:02:33,921
- Emily.
- Good morning.

72
00:02:33,989 --> 00:02:36,090
- Hey, Luke.
- Good to see you in the morning.

73
00:02:36,157 --> 00:02:37,858
I mean, not... not like that.

74
00:02:37,926 --> 00:02:40,928
I just mean because our schedules,
we don't... uh...

75
00:02:41,763 --> 00:02:43,330
I am late for work.

76
00:02:43,398 --> 00:02:44,398
Okay.

77
00:02:45,275 --> 00:02:46,650
Bye.

78
00:02:53,909 --> 00:02:56,644
I have no words.

79
00:02:57,846 --> 00:02:59,780
- There she is.
- There who is?

80
00:02:59,848 --> 00:03:03,150
Judge Jenkins. She's even
more impressive in person.

81
00:03:03,218 --> 00:03:06,312
Uh-oh. Looks like
she's fighting with her lawyer.

82
00:03:06,381 --> 00:03:08,722
Oh, I know her lawyer. He's a bully.

83
00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:11,091
Whoa. Her lawyer is crying.

84
00:03:11,159 --> 00:03:12,459
The bully is crying?

85
00:03:12,527 --> 00:03:14,862
Oh. Now her lawyer is leaving.

86
00:03:14,930 --> 00:03:16,130
PRUDENCE? I can't believe it!

87
00:03:16,197 --> 00:03:17,998
Carmichael!

88
00:03:20,817 --> 00:03:22,733
All rise.

89
00:03:23,134 --> 00:03:24,939
Superior Court is now in session.

90
00:03:25,006 --> 00:03:27,041
The Honorable Judge
Lola Carmichael is presiding.

91
00:03:27,108 --> 00:03:28,275
You may be seated.

92
00:03:28,343 --> 00:03:29,843
Good morning.

93
00:03:29,911 --> 00:03:32,346
Looks like I missed out
on all the excitement.

94
00:03:32,733 --> 00:03:35,983
Calling the matter
of People v. Prudence Jenkins,

95
00:03:36,051 --> 00:03:38,252
receiving a bribe
while a public official.

96
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,753
Counsel, your appearances.

97
00:03:40,233 --> 00:03:41,522
Prudence Jenkins, Your Honor.

98
00:03:41,590 --> 00:03:43,123
Clayton Berger for the People.

99
00:03:43,191 --> 00:03:45,726
Uh, Judge Jenkins, I see
your attorney is not present.

100
00:03:45,794 --> 00:03:48,362
Will you be requesting a continuance?

101
00:03:48,430 --> 00:03:49,563
Not at this time, Your Honor.

102
00:03:49,631 --> 00:03:51,665
Uh, um... you won't?

103
00:03:51,733 --> 00:03:54,501
It is unorthodox,
but I've decided it's best

104
00:03:54,569 --> 00:03:56,070
that I represent myself.

105
00:03:56,137 --> 00:04:00,541
These bribery charges
are an attack on my integrity,

106
00:04:00,609 --> 00:04:01,976
my entire career.

107
00:04:02,043 --> 00:04:05,347
I can't leave my fate
in someone else's hands.

108
00:04:05,395 --> 00:04:07,948
I already have the waiver filled out.

109
00:04:08,016 --> 00:04:10,651
I see. Then the procedure is to

110
00:04:10,719 --> 00:04:13,186
go over the disadvantages verbally.

111
00:04:13,699 --> 00:04:16,483
"Disadvantages to include

112
00:04:16,536 --> 00:04:19,793
"but are not limited to the following...

113
00:04:19,861 --> 00:04:21,395
If I had a lawyer..."

114
00:04:21,463 --> 00:04:24,198
"That lawyer would be able
to investigate my case..."

115
00:04:24,733 --> 00:04:27,835
23 years on the bench and you'll
have it memorized, too.

116
00:04:27,902 --> 00:04:29,403
You'll also know
when extraordinary measures

117
00:04:29,471 --> 00:04:31,952
are needed to defend yourself.

118
00:04:32,016 --> 00:04:33,607
Then you understand.

119
00:04:33,675 --> 00:04:36,210
I hereby state that
I have read the waiver,

120
00:04:36,277 --> 00:04:37,578
I understand the waiver,

121
00:04:37,646 --> 00:04:40,775
and I have no questions
about the waiver.

122
00:04:41,716 --> 00:04:44,318
- I know what I'm doing.
- You'll need to.

Always hard at work. Good for you, Sam.

125
00:05:00,577 --> 00:05:01,810
Case isn't going to prep itself.

126
00:05:01,878 --> 00:05:03,212
Luke. My office.

127
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:04,533
- On the way.
- Choi.

128
00:05:04,598 --> 00:05:05,948
Morning. Hey, you got a minute?

129
00:05:06,016 --> 00:05:08,450
I could use your insight
on a little judicial strategy.

130
00:05:08,518 --> 00:05:10,185
- McCarthy case?
- Yeah, I just thought that the...

131
00:05:10,253 --> 00:05:12,187
Are we securely in your office?

132
00:05:12,255 --> 00:05:13,689
- No.
- Can anyone hear us

133
00:05:13,757 --> 00:05:15,124
in this location
who isn't supposed to know

134
00:05:15,191 --> 00:05:16,525
the highly classified information

135
00:05:16,593 --> 00:05:18,694
that makes up your top priority case?

136
00:05:18,762 --> 00:05:20,200
- Yeah.
- Then I don't have time

137
00:05:20,224 --> 00:05:22,665
- to talk strategy.
- But... because it's for this case,

138
00:05:22,732 --> 00:05:24,633
I will make time, later.

139
00:05:29,417 --> 00:05:31,040
Was that all for my benefit?

140
00:05:31,733 --> 00:05:33,949
Kind of. It's your lucky morning.

141
00:05:34,001 --> 00:05:36,633
A convicted murderer
is eligible for release.

142
00:05:36,673 --> 00:05:38,574
You'll review the file,
go to the hearing,

143
00:05:38,642 --> 00:05:39,942
and be prepared to make a recommendation

144
00:05:40,010 --> 00:05:41,477
- to the parole board.
- A lifer hearing.

145
00:05:41,545 --> 00:05:43,212
That's... That's above my pay grade.

146
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:44,647
Well, buckle in. There's more.

147
00:05:45,067 --> 00:05:46,649
The recommendation is your call.

148
00:05:47,025 --> 00:05:48,884
- But...
- Meet Shayne Monroe.

149
00:05:48,952 --> 00:05:50,853
He's been in prison for 25 years

150
00:05:50,921 --> 00:05:53,226
for killing his buddy, Cyrus Wilkinson.

151
00:05:53,310 --> 00:05:54,797
Shayne and Cyrus were both members

152
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,926
of the Hazor Brigade,
a white supremacist militia.

153
00:05:56,993 --> 00:05:59,061
- Militia?
- Shayne mistakenly thought

154
00:05:59,129 --> 00:06:01,764
that Cyrus was an FBI informant,
so he killed him.

155
00:06:01,831 --> 00:06:04,133
Is there any particular reason
you chose a Black man

156
00:06:04,201 --> 00:06:06,602
to attend the parole hearing
for a white supremacist?

157
00:06:06,670 --> 00:06:08,337
I do have a particular reason.

158
00:06:08,405 --> 00:06:09,605
The McCarthy case is heating up,

159
00:06:09,673 --> 00:06:10,906
and you're a potential witness.

160
00:06:10,974 --> 00:06:12,627
That means you have to be firewalled.

161
00:06:12,702 --> 00:06:14,877
I thought your advocacy
of restorative justice

162
00:06:14,945 --> 00:06:16,569
might lead you somewhere interesting.

163
00:06:16,593 --> 00:06:19,495
You'll have the authority
to make the recommendation

164
00:06:19,563 --> 00:06:21,831
you feel is appropriate,
and I'll be there.

165
00:06:23,442 --> 00:06:24,934
You're welcome.

166
00:06:39,777 --> 00:06:41,350
We get the wrong judge,

167
00:06:41,418 --> 00:06:42,918
we might as well withdraw the charges,

168
00:06:42,943 --> 00:06:44,110
scrap the whole thing.

169
00:06:44,135 --> 00:06:45,635
And Laski's court just opened up.

170
00:06:45,660 --> 00:06:47,094
- How does everyone know that?
- It's not a secret.

171
00:06:47,119 --> 00:06:49,096
- Laski hates me.
- Also not a secret.

172
00:06:49,121 --> 00:06:50,419
Close call on an objection,

173
00:06:50,489 --> 00:06:53,729
Laski's love of watching me
squirm cannot be a factor.

174
00:06:53,797 --> 00:06:55,765
Might have to go nuclear, paper him.

175
00:06:55,832 --> 00:06:57,333
Requesting a new judge is kind of risky.

176
00:06:57,401 --> 00:06:58,701
Each side only gets
one chance to do that.

177
00:06:58,769 --> 00:07:00,403
I know, it's extreme, but I... I'm...

178
00:07:00,470 --> 00:07:02,671
Hey, we got this. We got this.

179
00:07:02,739 --> 00:07:03,973
High five.

180
00:07:04,041 --> 00:07:05,667
- Oh... okay.
- Yep.

181
00:07:05,729 --> 00:07:06,909
Okay.

182
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,081
Please state your name
and occupation for the record.

183
00:07:12,149 --> 00:07:13,682
Sylvia Arthur. I'm the director

184
00:07:13,750 --> 00:07:15,584
of the nonprofit Rainbow Doors.

185
00:07:15,609 --> 00:07:18,878
On December 3, 2015,
did your organization receive

186
00:07:18,989 --> 00:07:20,656
a donation from Andre Buckingham

187
00:07:20,724 --> 00:07:22,658
in the amount of $50,000?

188
00:07:22,683 --> 00:07:23,816
It did.

189
00:07:23,841 --> 00:07:25,342
Your Honor, I ask that the Court
take notice

190
00:07:25,495 --> 00:07:27,797
that this was the day
before Judge Jenkins

191
00:07:27,864 --> 00:07:29,604
delivered her "not guilty" verdict.

192
00:07:30,125 --> 00:07:32,201
How much is your average donation?

193
00:07:32,567 --> 00:07:34,403
- $40.
- Ms. Arthur,

194
00:07:34,471 --> 00:07:36,765
did you know who Andre Buckingham was

195
00:07:36,813 --> 00:07:38,373
before that donation was made?

196
00:07:38,415 --> 00:07:42,244
No. Afterwards, I learned
he is a lawyer in Santa Barbara

197
00:07:42,312 --> 00:07:44,613
but nothing from our donor files.

198
00:07:44,681 --> 00:07:46,215
No further questions, Your Honor.

199
00:07:46,283 --> 00:07:48,547
Care to cross-examine
the witness, Your Hon...

200
00:07:49,155 --> 00:07:51,020
...Judge Jenkins?

201
00:07:51,045 --> 00:07:52,745
Thank you, Your Honor.

202
00:07:52,856 --> 00:07:54,690
Good afternoon, Ms. Arthur.

203
00:07:54,758 --> 00:07:56,959
As director of Rainbow Doors,

204
00:07:57,027 --> 00:07:59,128
how familiar are you with its donors?

205
00:07:59,196 --> 00:08:00,563
I know many of them personally,

206
00:08:00,630 --> 00:08:02,398
some I even consider friends.

207
00:08:02,466 --> 00:08:04,767
- Do you know every donor?
- No.

208
00:08:04,792 --> 00:08:06,626
You testified that you were
surprised to receive

209
00:08:06,651 --> 00:08:09,040
a donation from Andre Buckingham

210
00:08:09,068 --> 00:08:12,313
because he'd never given
to Rainbow Doors before.

211
00:08:12,362 --> 00:08:15,578
How many donors give
for the first time annually?

212
00:08:15,645 --> 00:08:18,547
Many. Each year our goal

213
00:08:18,615 --> 00:08:20,516
is for 10% to be first-time donors.

214
00:08:20,584 --> 00:08:23,085
When Mr. Buckingham made his donation,

215
00:08:23,153 --> 00:08:24,954
did he in any way mention me

216
00:08:25,021 --> 00:08:27,356
or that his client was
appearing in my courtroom?

217
00:08:27,424 --> 00:08:28,791
- He did not.
- Have there ever been

218
00:08:28,859 --> 00:08:30,926
first-time donors
who you later found out

219
00:08:30,994 --> 00:08:33,462
had heard about
the organization from me?

220
00:08:33,530 --> 00:08:34,997
Oh, yes. Many times.

221
00:08:35,065 --> 00:08:37,066
The money raised through
your network has enabled us

222
00:08:37,134 --> 00:08:40,002
to give a lot of queer
homeless kids a place to stay.

223
00:08:40,525 --> 00:08:42,505
Did Mr. Buckingham ever tell you

224
00:08:42,572 --> 00:08:45,841
that he was donating
because your organization

225
00:08:45,909 --> 00:08:48,177
- was brought to his attention by me?
- Objection.

226
00:08:48,245 --> 00:08:49,645
- Overruled.
- Sustained.

227
00:08:51,802 --> 00:08:53,582
Apologies, Your Honor.

228
00:08:53,650 --> 00:08:56,285
Force of habit. I meant no disrespect.

229
00:08:56,353 --> 00:08:59,188
Apology accepted, but I will handle

230
00:08:59,256 --> 00:09:00,623
the objections in my courtroom.

231
00:09:00,690 --> 00:09:02,992
I think that would be best.

232
00:09:03,059 --> 00:09:04,527
No further questions.

233
00:09:05,317 --> 00:09:06,829
You may step down.

234
00:09:13,103 --> 00:09:14,870
Well, you can remind Deputy Lori

235
00:09:14,938 --> 00:09:16,739
that his testimony ensures that McCarthy

236
00:09:16,806 --> 00:09:19,308
won't be in a position to retaliate.

237
00:09:19,376 --> 00:09:21,644
No, it's not the same thing.

238
00:09:21,711 --> 00:09:24,493
Cold feet is not a negotiating
position for your client.

239
00:09:24,570 --> 00:09:26,649
No, do not put me... on hold.

240
00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:29,371
You always had a way with people.

241
00:09:29,435 --> 00:09:31,366
I swear, this case, it's like if I'm not

242
00:09:31,446 --> 00:09:33,989
convincing someone to testify,
I'm explaining someone's

243
00:09:34,057 --> 00:09:35,858
immunity deal for the hundredth time.

244
00:09:36,442 --> 00:09:38,827
At least I managed
to convince Bravo to let me

245
00:09:38,895 --> 00:09:41,363
paper Laski if Judge Benner
assigns him to the case.

246
00:09:41,431 --> 00:09:43,566
- You did not.
- I did.

247
00:09:44,858 --> 00:09:46,035
It's... really good to see you.

248
00:09:46,102 --> 00:09:47,275
You, too.

249
00:09:47,771 --> 00:09:48,904
There are things to say.

250
00:09:48,972 --> 00:09:50,906
Yeah. There are.

251
00:09:50,974 --> 00:09:52,208
Uh...

252
00:09:52,275 --> 00:09:55,336
I-I-I know you're swamped,
so I was thinking

253
00:09:55,410 --> 00:09:57,913
a hike this weekend
to talk things through?

254
00:09:57,981 --> 00:09:59,982
- I like that thinking.
- Good.

255
00:10:00,050 --> 00:10:02,384
Sorry for the hold-up. How can I help?

256
00:10:02,452 --> 00:10:04,420
Uh...

257
00:10:04,487 --> 00:10:06,088
Mr. Callan? Hello?

258
00:10:06,156 --> 00:10:07,957
Yeah.

259
00:10:08,024 --> 00:10:09,158
One down.

260
00:10:09,228 --> 00:10:10,793
Don't put me on hold a...

261
00:10:10,860 --> 00:10:13,162
Hey. High five.

262
00:10:27,143 --> 00:10:30,233
Uh, Luke Watkins, D.A.'s office?

263
00:10:31,025 --> 00:10:32,721
So what's this all about?

264
00:10:32,792 --> 00:10:34,717
The D.A.'s office can weigh in
on whether or not

265
00:10:34,784 --> 00:10:36,585
the parole board
should grant someone parole.

266
00:10:36,653 --> 00:10:38,921
Why are you here?
The answer should be obvious.

267
00:10:38,989 --> 00:10:40,256
I want to know about Shayne's victim.

268
00:10:40,775 --> 00:10:42,524
Your brother, Cyrus.

269
00:10:42,592 --> 00:10:44,326
Look, I don't know what you heard,

270
00:10:45,067 --> 00:10:47,096
but Cyrus wasn't like those
other guys in the militia.

271
00:10:47,163 --> 00:10:50,132
He wasn't a killer, like Shayne Monroe.

272
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,035
- What was he like?
- He was a normal kid.

273
00:10:54,537 --> 00:10:56,108
Liked working on cars.

274
00:10:57,067 --> 00:10:58,942
He was stubborn as hell.

275
00:11:01,578 --> 00:11:04,013
But also funny, really funny.

276
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,149
After he was killed,
my mom never really...

277
00:11:07,525 --> 00:11:09,652
got her laugh back.

278
00:11:09,719 --> 00:11:12,321
Does the parole board care about that?

279
00:11:12,389 --> 00:11:14,189
The parole board's
main concern is whether or not

280
00:11:14,257 --> 00:11:15,991
Shayne will be a danger
to the community.

281
00:11:16,059 --> 00:11:17,860
Cyrus wasn't a danger to the community.

282
00:11:17,927 --> 00:11:21,063
He didn't believe in
that white supremacist stuff.

283
00:11:21,567 --> 00:11:23,565
He was a good kid.

284
00:11:23,633 --> 00:11:25,734
If Cyrus never got a second chance,

285
00:11:25,802 --> 00:11:28,671
why should Shayne Monroe
ever get out of prison?

286
00:11:29,775 --> 00:11:31,573
I really hope you're the kind of man

287
00:11:31,641 --> 00:11:33,409
who'll keep him there.

288
00:11:37,247 --> 00:11:38,947
I wrote a paper about
Judge Jenkins in college,

289
00:11:39,015 --> 00:11:40,549
and one of my professors knew her.

290
00:11:40,617 --> 00:11:43,952
She introduced us,
and we just... we clicked.

291
00:11:44,020 --> 00:11:46,322
How long were you Judge Jenkins'
judicial assistant?

292
00:11:46,389 --> 00:11:50,059
Just four years. I thought I was
gonna be there a lot longer.

293
00:11:50,126 --> 00:11:52,178
How would you describe the relationship

294
00:11:52,250 --> 00:11:55,097
between Judge Jenkins and the lawyer
Andre Buckingham?

295
00:11:55,165 --> 00:11:57,132
Objection, Your Honor. Lacks foundation.

296
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,868
Sustained. Mr. Berger,
care to try again?

297
00:11:59,936 --> 00:12:02,805
What, if anything, did you see

298
00:12:02,872 --> 00:12:05,974
between the defendant
and attorney Andre Buckingham?

299
00:12:06,042 --> 00:12:08,077
They were professional at first,

300
00:12:08,144 --> 00:12:09,712
then he started crossing lines,

301
00:12:09,779 --> 00:12:11,447
and I just never understood

302
00:12:11,514 --> 00:12:12,915
why the judge didn't stop him.

303
00:12:12,982 --> 00:12:14,683
- Like what?
- He would tell her that

304
00:12:14,751 --> 00:12:16,318
he had tickets to an event or something,

305
00:12:16,386 --> 00:12:19,742
at Will Call under his name
if she wanted them. It just...

306
00:12:19,835 --> 00:12:22,091
It flew in the face of all of

307
00:12:22,158 --> 00:12:23,625
the amazing work that she'd done.

308
00:12:23,693 --> 00:12:25,227
Did you overhear a conversation

309
00:12:25,295 --> 00:12:27,096
between Judge Jenkins and Mr. Buckingham

310
00:12:27,163 --> 00:12:30,332
in December of 2015 that troubled you?

311
00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:31,901
Yes.

312
00:12:31,970 --> 00:12:33,235
They were in the judge's chambers,

313
00:12:33,303 --> 00:12:35,237
and I heard him talking about his client

314
00:12:35,305 --> 00:12:37,339
who was on trial for money laundering.

315
00:12:37,407 --> 00:12:39,208
I-I thought she should
have kicked him out,

316
00:12:39,275 --> 00:12:41,944
- because that is so unethical.
- Objection. Hearsay.

317
00:12:42,012 --> 00:12:44,213
It informs the defendant's
statement, Your Honor.

318
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,749
- Overruled, but...
- Your Honor, with all due respect,

319
00:12:46,816 --> 00:12:48,751
asking a witness about
what a third party said

320
00:12:48,818 --> 00:12:50,626
is textbook hearsay.

321
00:12:51,125 --> 00:12:53,989
Judge Jenkins, I would advise
against interrupting me.

322
00:12:54,057 --> 00:12:55,657
If you hadn't, I could have

323
00:12:55,725 --> 00:12:57,226
finished instructing the witness

324
00:12:57,293 --> 00:13:00,129
to stick to the actions
made by the defendant.

325
00:13:00,275 --> 00:13:01,697
You.

326
00:13:01,765 --> 00:13:03,832
Well, all she said was,
"You shouldn't be here,"

327
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:05,947
because they were
in the middle of the trial.

328
00:13:05,991 --> 00:13:08,670
- Can I say that?
- I will allow it. Thank you.

329
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,983
Judge Jenkins, would you
like to cross-examine?

330
00:13:15,311 --> 00:13:18,080
Ms. Carlile, the tickets
that Mr. Buckingham

331
00:13:18,148 --> 00:13:19,915
allegedly left for me at will call,

332
00:13:19,983 --> 00:13:21,617
did you ever see me pick them up?

333
00:13:22,025 --> 00:13:24,317
- No.
- Do you know if...

334
00:13:24,888 --> 00:13:26,588
for example, I paid for them,

335
00:13:26,656 --> 00:13:28,424
voiding their status as gifts?

336
00:13:28,491 --> 00:13:31,293
- Uh, no.
- I see.

337
00:13:31,361 --> 00:13:34,062
Please tell the Court why I fired you.

338
00:13:34,145 --> 00:13:35,998
You know that was a mistake.

339
00:13:36,065 --> 00:13:38,567
Ms. Carlile, please,
just answer the question.

340
00:13:38,635 --> 00:13:40,169
Uh, sorry, Your Honor.

341
00:13:40,236 --> 00:13:42,704
I made one scheduling mistake,
and I apologized.

342
00:13:42,772 --> 00:13:44,606
And did that one scheduling error

343
00:13:44,674 --> 00:13:46,408
fit within a pattern of mistakes

344
00:13:46,476 --> 00:13:49,077
- and overlooked details?
- I wouldn't call it a pattern.

345
00:13:49,145 --> 00:13:50,879
And what was the immediate
effect of that error?

346
00:13:50,947 --> 00:13:52,247
You were a few minutes late.

347
00:13:52,315 --> 00:13:54,516
Isn't it true that I, the judge,

348
00:13:54,584 --> 00:13:55,884
only showed up at that trial

349
00:13:55,952 --> 00:13:57,286
because the bailiff came to get me?

350
00:13:57,353 --> 00:13:58,554
Objection. Relevance.

351
00:13:58,621 --> 00:14:00,489
- Sustained.
- Overruled.

352
00:14:00,917 --> 00:14:02,704
Once was funny, Judge Jenkins.

353
00:14:02,770 --> 00:14:04,326
Won't happen again, Your Honor.

354
00:14:06,442 --> 00:14:08,297
Isn't it true that
when you were terminated,

355
00:14:08,364 --> 00:14:10,666
security had to remove you
from the building?

356
00:14:10,733 --> 00:14:13,168
- They escort everyone out.
- And while being removed,

357
00:14:13,236 --> 00:14:14,970
- you said...
- You knew what you were doing.

358
00:14:15,038 --> 00:14:16,371
..."I know your secrets and I will tell

359
00:14:16,439 --> 00:14:18,040
- anyone who listens"?
- I believed in you,

360
00:14:18,107 --> 00:14:19,641
- and you fired me!
- Answer the question.

361
00:14:19,709 --> 00:14:23,045
That's enough! Ms. Carlile,
did those events take place?

362
00:14:23,112 --> 00:14:24,279
Yes or no?

363
00:14:26,735 --> 00:14:28,302
Fine.

364
00:14:29,085 --> 00:14:30,773
- They happened.
- Thank you.

365
00:14:30,842 --> 00:14:33,889
I hope you lose everything,
and I get to watch!

366
00:14:33,957 --> 00:14:35,691
She is ruthless!

367
00:14:35,758 --> 00:14:39,728
Okay, everybody.
Just take a deep breath.

368
00:14:50,481 --> 00:14:52,315
I knew this case was gonna test me,

369
00:14:52,340 --> 00:14:54,074
but not like this. So many feelings.

370
00:14:54,272 --> 00:14:55,572
And I'm the one who has to see through

371
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,642
all the emotions to the facts.
Judge on trial?

372
00:14:58,710 --> 00:15:00,577
Believe this verdict
is gonna be remembered.

373
00:15:00,645 --> 00:15:02,780
- The pressure.
- Imagine losing your job

374
00:15:02,847 --> 00:15:04,414
over a mistake on a calendar.

375
00:15:04,439 --> 00:15:06,574
She was late for her own trial.

376
00:15:06,599 --> 00:15:08,033
Judge Jenkins must've been mortified.

377
00:15:08,058 --> 00:15:09,659
But that's no reason to fire the woman.

378
00:15:09,684 --> 00:15:11,819
Oh, you only say that because
you're not an assistant.

379
00:15:12,791 --> 00:15:14,224
Oh, I'm sorry.

380
00:15:14,292 --> 00:15:15,826
I'm sorry, Your Honor. I didn't...

381
00:15:15,894 --> 00:15:18,929
Sherri, it's okay. I just want
to know what you meant.

382
00:15:18,997 --> 00:15:20,400
It's just...

383
00:15:21,018 --> 00:15:23,487
Judge Jenkins is a great
and powerful person,

384
00:15:23,601 --> 00:15:25,335
and she has had people
tell her how great

385
00:15:25,403 --> 00:15:27,304
and powerful she is for a long time,

386
00:15:27,372 --> 00:15:28,705
and the thing you cannot do

387
00:15:28,773 --> 00:15:31,708
to powerful people is embarrass them.

388
00:15:34,278 --> 00:15:35,692
Sherri.

389
00:15:36,928 --> 00:15:38,362
Yes, Your Honor.

390
00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:44,354
You are also a great
and powerful person.

391
00:15:44,422 --> 00:15:47,324
And your perspective
is valued around here.

392
00:15:47,983 --> 00:15:50,494
I appreciate that, Your Honor.

393
00:15:51,016 --> 00:15:52,149
Thank you.

394
00:15:58,837 --> 00:16:01,338
I want to get an idea
of who Mr. Monroe is,

395
00:16:01,692 --> 00:16:03,674
how he spends his time in prison.

396
00:16:04,192 --> 00:16:06,210
We don't usually get in-person visits.

397
00:16:06,277 --> 00:16:08,278
Most D.A.s just read the file.

398
00:16:08,346 --> 00:16:09,980
My office takes parole seriously.

399
00:16:10,048 --> 00:16:11,682
I've only worked with Shayne
a few years,

400
00:16:11,749 --> 00:16:14,484
but he's been focused on
self-improvement the whole time.

401
00:16:14,552 --> 00:16:17,821
You're not going to get "danger
to the community" out of me.

402
00:16:19,733 --> 00:16:22,059
Does he have any people on the outside?

403
00:16:22,084 --> 00:16:23,218
Family, friends, contacts?

404
00:16:23,243 --> 00:16:24,877
Prison does a pretty good job of

405
00:16:24,902 --> 00:16:26,558
- destroying social bonds.
- Listen,

406
00:16:27,192 --> 00:16:29,132
I'm trying to approach this
with an open mind.

407
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,635
If there's anything you wish
D.A.s would ask...

408
00:16:31,703 --> 00:16:35,072
I'll admit that when a lot of
guys see parole coming up,

409
00:16:35,139 --> 00:16:37,374
they start saying all the right things,

410
00:16:37,442 --> 00:16:40,611
but it's all excuses and they
just talk about themselves.

411
00:16:40,678 --> 00:16:44,047
But with Shayne, he talks
about his victim all the time.

412
00:16:44,115 --> 00:16:46,650
By name. Cyrus Wilkinson.

413
00:16:46,898 --> 00:16:48,565
I feel like I know him.

414
00:16:50,355 --> 00:16:52,422
Please state your name
and occupation for the record.

415
00:16:52,490 --> 00:16:54,391
Andre Buckingham, lawyer.

416
00:16:54,459 --> 00:16:55,893
Mr. Buckingham, how would you describe

417
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,468
your professional relationship
with the defendant?

418
00:16:58,493 --> 00:17:00,120
Very successful.

419
00:17:00,145 --> 00:17:01,712
I could rely on her to be a fair judge,

420
00:17:01,737 --> 00:17:03,605
and she could rely on me
for certain perks.

421
00:17:03,801 --> 00:17:07,228
Perks. Such as theater tickets,
fine wines?

422
00:17:07,253 --> 00:17:08,854
Objection, leading the witness.

423
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,667
I'm establishing a pattern of behavior.

424
00:17:10,692 --> 00:17:13,594
Then let your witness
testify. Sustained.

425
00:17:15,775 --> 00:17:17,214
What do you mean, perks?

426
00:17:17,282 --> 00:17:18,882
Tickets to sold-out shows.

427
00:17:18,950 --> 00:17:22,152
Once a client paid me
with a 2010 Château Margaux.

428
00:17:22,220 --> 00:17:23,387
I gave it to Judge Jenkins.

429
00:17:23,454 --> 00:17:24,621
Mr. Buckingham, what was different

430
00:17:24,689 --> 00:17:27,691
about the case in December of 2015?

431
00:17:27,716 --> 00:17:28,949
I couldn't win it.

432
00:17:28,974 --> 00:17:30,107
One of my most important clients

433
00:17:30,132 --> 00:17:31,399
was up for money laundering

434
00:17:31,596 --> 00:17:33,497
and the case against him was rock solid.

435
00:17:33,564 --> 00:17:35,198
And what did you do about that?

436
00:17:36,174 --> 00:17:38,875
I realize now I made a poor decision.

437
00:17:38,910 --> 00:17:40,377
I knew her weak spot.

438
00:17:40,402 --> 00:17:42,636
So I told her if my client
was found not guilty,

439
00:17:42,661 --> 00:17:45,229
a substantial donation could be
made to her favorite charity.

440
00:17:45,543 --> 00:17:48,111
And how did Judge Jenkins respond

441
00:17:48,179 --> 00:17:49,713
when you presented this offer?

442
00:17:49,781 --> 00:17:51,448
All I had to do
was mention Rainbow Doors,

443
00:17:51,473 --> 00:17:52,673
and she was on board.

444
00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:55,251
No further questions, Your Honor.

445
00:17:55,452 --> 00:17:57,453
Judge Jenkins?

446
00:17:58,636 --> 00:18:00,037
Mr. Buckingham.

447
00:18:00,331 --> 00:18:01,565
Did you recently plead guilty

448
00:18:01,590 --> 00:18:03,824
to multiple charges of extortion?

449
00:18:03,995 --> 00:18:05,629
Regretfully, I did.

450
00:18:05,654 --> 00:18:08,555
Including an instance in which
you threatened baseless lawsuits

451
00:18:08,666 --> 00:18:11,401
against a mother-and-daughter
owned wellness center

452
00:18:11,469 --> 00:18:13,737
unless they paid thousands of dollars?

453
00:18:14,167 --> 00:18:17,207
At the time, I believed
I was protecting consumers.

454
00:18:17,275 --> 00:18:19,242
Did you extort the wellness center?

455
00:18:19,650 --> 00:18:21,345
The law says I did.

456
00:18:21,370 --> 00:18:23,605
Uh-huh. And after you were charged,

457
00:18:23,715 --> 00:18:26,416
did you attempt to negotiate
a reduced sentence

458
00:18:26,441 --> 00:18:28,509
by claiming knowledge of further crimes?

459
00:18:28,534 --> 00:18:30,135
You know how a plea deal works.

460
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,660
And you know how to weaponize the law.

461
00:18:31,685 --> 00:18:34,320
- Objection. Argumentative.
- Sustained.

462
00:18:34,459 --> 00:18:36,360
I want you to help me understand.

463
00:18:36,817 --> 00:18:38,889
Isn't it true that you used gifts

464
00:18:38,950 --> 00:18:40,497
and a substantial donation

465
00:18:40,522 --> 00:18:42,771
to try to curry favor with a judge?

466
00:18:42,796 --> 00:18:44,615
I did not try. I successfully...

467
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,341
Isn't it true that you use your position

468
00:18:46,403 --> 00:18:48,605
as a lawyer to threaten and intimidate?

469
00:18:48,806 --> 00:18:51,358
I admit, I may have erred in the past.

470
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,259
And isn't it true
that you pride yourself

471
00:18:53,284 --> 00:18:55,960
on your ability to outmaneuver people

472
00:18:55,985 --> 00:18:57,085
in negotiation?

473
00:18:57,110 --> 00:18:58,444
I was very good at my job.

474
00:18:58,469 --> 00:19:00,393
And isn't it then reasonable to conclude

475
00:19:00,418 --> 00:19:02,586
that you are the kind of person

476
00:19:02,653 --> 00:19:06,057
who would say or do anything
to avoid the consequences

477
00:19:06,101 --> 00:19:08,515
- of your criminal behavior?
- Objection.

478
00:19:08,540 --> 00:19:10,808
- Overruled.
- Sustained. Judge Jenkins,

479
00:19:10,962 --> 00:19:13,497
you will remember
whose courtroom you are in

480
00:19:13,522 --> 00:19:15,089
and act accordingly.

481
00:19:15,128 --> 00:19:17,516
This is your final warning.

482
00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:25,025
I think we all need a recess.

483
00:19:30,558 --> 00:19:32,592
Everyone involved with
this case is terrible!

484
00:19:32,677 --> 00:19:34,077
They should all be sent to an island

485
00:19:34,102 --> 00:19:35,208
where they can only hurt each other.

486
00:19:35,253 --> 00:19:36,720
A cold island.

487
00:19:36,788 --> 00:19:39,790
I can't tell if Buckingham
is lying or just gross.

488
00:19:39,857 --> 00:19:42,359
And if Judge Jenkins
interrupts Judge Carmichael

489
00:19:42,384 --> 00:19:45,119
one more time, I am going to
march right up to her,

490
00:19:45,144 --> 00:19:46,678
and I'm gonna give her a piece...

491
00:19:46,831 --> 00:19:47,864
Oh.

492
00:19:47,932 --> 00:19:49,266
Sara?

493
00:19:49,333 --> 00:19:50,434
You okay?

494
00:19:50,501 --> 00:19:52,035
That was Whitney.

495
00:19:53,271 --> 00:19:54,704
That was Nikki's mom.

496
00:19:57,032 --> 00:19:59,533
Obviously I can't discuss
an ongoing case

497
00:19:59,644 --> 00:20:01,011
in the courthouse I oversee,

498
00:20:01,079 --> 00:20:02,779
but I wanted to reach out as a friend.

499
00:20:02,847 --> 00:20:06,083
Thank you. I appreciate that. All of it.

500
00:20:06,150 --> 00:20:08,351
The arraignment must have been
difficult for you.

501
00:20:08,419 --> 00:20:10,053
Apparently it's just illegal

502
00:20:10,121 --> 00:20:11,488
to be a good parent.

503
00:20:11,556 --> 00:20:14,791
If you need any help with Nikki...

504
00:20:14,859 --> 00:20:16,893
You cannot recommend any more tutors.

505
00:20:18,429 --> 00:20:21,531
Whitney, we can't talk about the case,

506
00:20:21,599 --> 00:20:24,534
but we can talk about how you're doing.

507
00:20:27,872 --> 00:20:29,506
I'm not at my best.

508
00:20:29,531 --> 00:20:30,774
I know that.

509
00:20:32,291 --> 00:20:34,118
The pandemic gutted the restaurant.

510
00:20:34,258 --> 00:20:37,614
- I barely leave the house.
- You can call anytime.

511
00:20:37,682 --> 00:20:40,750
And Nikki is so difficult.

512
00:20:40,818 --> 00:20:43,187
She's always been so difficult.

513
00:20:43,258 --> 00:20:46,356
Do you remember how colicky
she was as a baby?

514
00:20:46,381 --> 00:20:48,215
- I didn't sleep for months.
- Well...

515
00:20:48,326 --> 00:20:49,593
And it's... it's just never stopped.

516
00:20:49,660 --> 00:20:52,662
Now she is willfully tanking her grades.

517
00:20:52,730 --> 00:20:54,664
I think her teachers
don't even like her.

518
00:20:54,732 --> 00:20:56,166
I don't know that I blame them.

519
00:20:56,858 --> 00:21:01,238
W... Look,
parenting is very challenging.

520
00:21:01,305 --> 00:21:03,273
She thinks I am so strict.

521
00:21:03,900 --> 00:21:07,608
She has no idea what strict is.

522
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,947
I see.

523
00:21:14,345 --> 00:21:15,919
Am I a hypocrite?

524
00:21:15,987 --> 00:21:18,522
You lied about making good margaritas,

525
00:21:18,589 --> 00:21:20,757
but I don't think
that makes you a hypocrite.

526
00:21:20,825 --> 00:21:22,959
Parole hearing has me spinning.

527
00:21:23,027 --> 00:21:24,394
You know, you can't keep using work

528
00:21:24,462 --> 00:21:25,695
as an excuse to talk to me.

529
00:21:25,763 --> 00:21:27,230
Okay, this is strictly business.

530
00:21:27,298 --> 00:21:28,331
If I say something too personal,

531
00:21:28,399 --> 00:21:29,699
just say..."margarita."

532
00:21:29,767 --> 00:21:31,501
You mean like a safe word?

533
00:21:31,569 --> 00:21:33,537
Okay, what do you got?

534
00:21:33,604 --> 00:21:35,438
Murderer up for parole.

535
00:21:35,506 --> 00:21:37,177
Victim's brother wants him to rot.

536
00:21:37,202 --> 00:21:38,808
- Understandable.
- I've risked my job

537
00:21:38,876 --> 00:21:40,443
fighting for restorative justice,

538
00:21:40,511 --> 00:21:42,579
saying people are more than their crime,

539
00:21:42,647 --> 00:21:44,014
that change is possible and that...

540
00:21:44,081 --> 00:21:45,916
- What is different about this?
- Murder.

541
00:21:47,051 --> 00:21:49,452
And the murderer is a white supremacist,

542
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,621
- militia type.
- So Choi assigns this

543
00:21:51,689 --> 00:21:53,390
to the first Black lawyer he could find.

544
00:21:53,457 --> 00:21:55,192
- Like it's a test.
- With no right answers.

545
00:21:55,259 --> 00:21:58,133
And why is it that we
always have to forgive them?

546
00:21:58,222 --> 00:22:00,097
Yes, but...

547
00:22:00,122 --> 00:22:01,955
is this actually about forgiveness?

548
00:22:02,066 --> 00:22:04,871
Or is the real question does
he pose a threat if released?

549
00:22:04,896 --> 00:22:06,793
That is my point.

550
00:22:06,818 --> 00:22:09,320
At the root of this is a question

551
00:22:09,345 --> 00:22:10,879
of the entire justice system.

552
00:22:10,988 --> 00:22:12,655
Are you putting too much on this?

553
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,649
It's about retribution
versus rehabilitation,

554
00:22:15,686 --> 00:22:17,854
and are some crimes
beyond rehabilitation?

555
00:22:18,082 --> 00:22:20,784
I get it. I do. I want it all, too.

556
00:22:20,809 --> 00:22:23,478
Dismantle systemic racism.
Reform parole.

557
00:22:23,503 --> 00:22:25,570
Pursue restorative justice. I want that.

558
00:22:25,595 --> 00:22:27,963
But, one fight at a time,
and you have to know

559
00:22:27,988 --> 00:22:30,623
which fight you are fighting right now.

560
00:22:33,130 --> 00:22:34,525
Margarita.

561
00:22:35,312 --> 00:22:37,747
But this wasn't about
our personal lives.

562
00:22:37,788 --> 00:22:39,522
No, but...

563
00:22:41,772 --> 00:22:43,773
Work and play tend to
get mixed up around you.

564
00:22:43,841 --> 00:22:45,442
You mean, like, as a general rule?

565
00:22:45,467 --> 00:22:46,895
I can only speak
from my own experiences.

566
00:22:49,442 --> 00:22:51,014
And thanks for the advice.

567
00:22:51,039 --> 00:22:52,172
Mm-hmm.

568
00:22:56,192 --> 00:22:58,093
- Bye.
- Bye.

569
00:23:00,891 --> 00:23:03,126
The prosecution rests, Your Honor.

570
00:23:03,194 --> 00:23:05,362
Judge Jenkins, the floor is yours.

571
00:23:05,387 --> 00:23:06,588
Thank you, Your Honor.

572
00:23:07,108 --> 00:23:09,775
I begin by calling my first witness,

573
00:23:10,407 --> 00:23:12,108
Judge Prudence Jenkins.

574
00:23:13,524 --> 00:23:15,425
Judge Jenkins,
you're behaving recklessly.

575
00:23:15,706 --> 00:23:17,374
I understand the legal risks.

576
00:23:17,441 --> 00:23:19,342
With all due respect, Your Honor,

577
00:23:19,367 --> 00:23:21,435
if I were in your seat,

578
00:23:21,545 --> 00:23:24,447
I'd defer to the more experienced judge.

579
00:23:33,958 --> 00:23:36,826
For an intelligent person whose
entire career is on the line,

580
00:23:36,894 --> 00:23:39,162
Judge Jenkins is doing everything wrong.

581
00:23:39,230 --> 00:23:41,631
- Your Honor...
- First, she wants to represent herself,

582
00:23:41,699 --> 00:23:43,266
and then she wants to testify?

583
00:23:43,334 --> 00:23:45,841
- It is unorthodox.
- It is the behavior of an amateur.

584
00:23:45,892 --> 00:23:49,105
She is getting under your skin.

585
00:23:49,173 --> 00:23:52,149
Have you considered it is her strategy?

586
00:23:52,228 --> 00:23:54,044
To distract me? Of course!

587
00:23:54,111 --> 00:23:56,012
Because I feel like
the key to this whole case

588
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,215
is already in front of me,
like I've missed it somehow.

589
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,841
Judge Carmichael.

590
00:24:00,951 --> 00:24:04,307
Mr. Sanders, an appointment
would be appropriate.

591
00:24:04,333 --> 00:24:05,467
Ah. In the building.

592
00:24:05,498 --> 00:24:07,304
Potential state office run.
Can't say who.

593
00:24:07,458 --> 00:24:08,558
And yet you want me to know.

594
00:24:08,626 --> 00:24:10,126
How can we help you, Mr. Sanders?

595
00:24:10,567 --> 00:24:14,164
A political donor with
significant capacity... can't say,

596
00:24:14,231 --> 00:24:15,865
but he was instrumental
in the governor's race.

597
00:24:15,933 --> 00:24:17,400
This donor mentioned you.

598
00:24:17,425 --> 00:24:19,092
- Is there a point?
- If you'd like there to be.

599
00:24:19,203 --> 00:24:21,838
Mr. Sanders, I am
in the midst of a trial.

600
00:24:21,906 --> 00:24:24,274
Understood. I'll be in touch.

601
00:24:27,544 --> 00:24:29,545
What am I supposed to do with that?

602
00:24:29,847 --> 00:24:31,196
"I'll be in touch."

603
00:24:42,023 --> 00:24:43,424
You should get an alarm.

604
00:24:43,491 --> 00:24:45,059
Anybody could just walk in.

605
00:24:45,126 --> 00:24:47,554
Twice in a month.
What'd I do to deserve this?

606
00:24:47,721 --> 00:24:49,088
You married me.

607
00:24:49,156 --> 00:24:52,650
Not for long. Papers are on the table.

608
00:24:53,427 --> 00:24:55,127
Thank you.

609
00:24:56,070 --> 00:24:58,067
I'd left these in order.

610
00:25:01,521 --> 00:25:03,388
Sorry.

611
00:25:03,570 --> 00:25:05,271
I get scattered.

612
00:25:08,275 --> 00:25:09,742
Collier, is this how much
your treatments cost

613
00:25:09,810 --> 00:25:11,944
- without my insurance?
- I'm getting it straightened out.

614
00:25:12,012 --> 00:25:14,413
- Don't worry.
- I still owe you.

615
00:25:14,481 --> 00:25:17,183
We didn't keep score.
That's not how love works.

616
00:25:17,250 --> 00:25:19,952
You worked insane hours.
You kept me in law school.

617
00:25:20,020 --> 00:25:22,254
Well, I could work then.

618
00:25:23,775 --> 00:25:25,124
Right.

619
00:25:26,626 --> 00:25:28,361
I'm not your responsibility.

620
00:26:13,893 --> 00:26:17,262
Mr. Watkins,
would you like to join us at the front?

621
00:26:21,525 --> 00:26:23,968
I take responsibility for my crime.

622
00:26:24,692 --> 00:26:26,504
You have to know that I'm no longer

623
00:26:26,572 --> 00:26:29,192
a part of the Hazor Brigade.

624
00:26:30,042 --> 00:26:31,909
I'm not a danger to the community.

625
00:26:32,154 --> 00:26:33,571
Thank you, Mr. Monroe.

626
00:26:33,632 --> 00:26:35,067
Mr. Watkins?

627
00:26:36,682 --> 00:26:38,049
Madame Chair, Mr. Monroe says

628
00:26:38,117 --> 00:26:39,717
he's taken anger management courses.

629
00:26:39,785 --> 00:26:43,317
Could he describe
a de-escalation technique?

630
00:26:43,856 --> 00:26:45,456
Mr. Monroe?

631
00:26:45,524 --> 00:26:47,858
Sure. There's a lot of different...

632
00:26:48,794 --> 00:26:51,262
Mostly, it's an attitude shift.

633
00:26:51,757 --> 00:26:54,325
But you can count to 10.

634
00:26:55,534 --> 00:26:57,302
Madame Chair, could Mr. Monroe

635
00:26:57,369 --> 00:27:00,004
recite the third precept
of the Hazor Brigade?

636
00:27:00,072 --> 00:27:03,041
United States is a white nation,
as ordained by God,

637
00:27:03,108 --> 00:27:05,276
to be governed by the appointed.

638
00:27:12,084 --> 00:27:15,787
I became friends with a lot of
African American men in here.

639
00:27:16,233 --> 00:27:18,890
Could Mr. Monroe explain

640
00:27:18,958 --> 00:27:21,559
how he plans to support
himself if released?

641
00:27:21,627 --> 00:27:23,521
Won't be easy, I know.

642
00:27:23,572 --> 00:27:27,866
I've been in here a long time,
and people drift away.

643
00:27:28,525 --> 00:27:30,336
I regret killing Cyrus...

644
00:27:30,775 --> 00:27:33,099
every single day.

645
00:27:33,161 --> 00:27:34,773
- I didn't plan on it.
- If it wasn't planned,

646
00:27:34,841 --> 00:27:37,443
could Mr. Monroe explain
why he was armed

647
00:27:37,510 --> 00:27:41,146
with a Sig Sauer P320 when
he went to meet with Cyrus?

648
00:27:41,214 --> 00:27:44,275
We were always armed. I mean, we were...

649
00:27:45,608 --> 00:27:47,086
I'm not making excuses.

650
00:27:47,153 --> 00:27:49,755
I chose to believe lies,
and I've been so sorry...

651
00:27:49,823 --> 00:27:51,056
You don't fool me.

652
00:27:51,124 --> 00:27:53,567
- Ms. Wilkinson...
- That's all right.

653
00:27:54,094 --> 00:27:55,594
I don't expect for you to forgive me.

654
00:27:55,662 --> 00:27:58,264
Don't buy his act. Don't believe it.

655
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,234
- He was almost repentant.
- He wants out.

656
00:28:02,302 --> 00:28:04,970
That's the thing. Am I a prosecutor that

657
00:28:05,038 --> 00:28:07,139
believes in punishment
or rehabilitation?

658
00:28:07,207 --> 00:28:09,446
- Cyrus Wilkinson was murdered.
- I know.

659
00:28:09,522 --> 00:28:11,510
The two people most connected
to that are inside.

660
00:28:11,578 --> 00:28:12,811
The important thing is how

661
00:28:12,879 --> 00:28:14,813
your possible recommendation
affects them,

662
00:28:14,881 --> 00:28:17,383
not what it says about you.

663
00:28:19,286 --> 00:28:20,920
When a defendant represents herself,

664
00:28:20,987 --> 00:28:23,889
more flexibility
is demanded of the court.

665
00:28:23,957 --> 00:28:26,091
If I need clarification, I will ask.

666
00:28:26,159 --> 00:28:28,127
And once we have finished,
the People will be given

667
00:28:28,194 --> 00:28:29,895
the opportunity to cross-examine.

668
00:28:29,963 --> 00:28:32,298
- More than fair, Your Honor.
- You may proceed.

669
00:28:34,467 --> 00:28:38,003
I want to state on the record
that I stand by my verdict.

670
00:28:38,071 --> 00:28:41,807
To criminalize a verdict
you disagree with is dangerous,

671
00:28:41,875 --> 00:28:45,277
dangerous for judges,
dangerous for the law.

672
00:28:45,345 --> 00:28:48,380
I am most interested
in the case at hand.

673
00:28:48,448 --> 00:28:50,349
Andre Buckingham is corrupt.

674
00:28:50,417 --> 00:28:53,052
And if he hadn't been so busy
looking for shortcuts,

675
00:28:53,119 --> 00:28:54,920
he would've seen that the prosecution

676
00:28:54,988 --> 00:28:57,122
failed to prove the case
against his client.

677
00:28:57,190 --> 00:29:00,626
And every defendant is innocent
until proven guilty.

678
00:29:00,694 --> 00:29:02,061
I am aware.

679
00:29:02,896 --> 00:29:04,630
Mr. Buckingham's donation

680
00:29:04,698 --> 00:29:06,832
was a calculated attack against me.

681
00:29:07,571 --> 00:29:10,102
Did I mention Rainbow Doors
to him at some point?

682
00:29:10,170 --> 00:29:13,372
Certainly. But they do such vital work

683
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,408
that I often try to send
new donors their way.

684
00:29:16,476 --> 00:29:20,346
Question... has anyone else
donated at your suggestion?

685
00:29:20,371 --> 00:29:21,805
Many people, Your Honor.

686
00:29:21,915 --> 00:29:24,516
You've heard from
Sylvia Arthur, their director.

687
00:29:24,584 --> 00:29:28,087
When she gets a donation from
someone she doesn't recognize,

688
00:29:28,154 --> 00:29:31,323
she's started calling me to
find out if I referred them.

689
00:29:31,391 --> 00:29:34,393
That is how many donors
I've sent their way.

690
00:29:34,461 --> 00:29:35,868
I see.

691
00:29:35,893 --> 00:29:38,821
And did she call you on the day
of Buckingham's donation?

692
00:29:39,632 --> 00:29:41,000
Pardon me?

693
00:29:41,067 --> 00:29:43,902
Did Sylvia Arthur call you
the day she received

694
00:29:43,970 --> 00:29:45,471
the $50,000 donation?

695
00:29:45,538 --> 00:29:49,835
You are asking for more than
clarification, Your Honor.

696
00:29:49,873 --> 00:29:52,811
Then perhaps you haven't read
the latest bench guide?

697
00:29:52,879 --> 00:29:56,115
It clearly states
that in cases like these,

698
00:29:56,182 --> 00:30:00,265
judges must ask questions
and modify procedures

699
00:30:00,339 --> 00:30:01,787
to bring out all relevant facts.

700
00:30:01,855 --> 00:30:03,389
Be that as it may, Your Honor,

701
00:30:03,456 --> 00:30:05,057
there's a fine line between

702
00:30:05,125 --> 00:30:06,759
bringing out all the relevant facts

703
00:30:06,826 --> 00:30:09,294
and doing the People's job for them.

704
00:30:10,397 --> 00:30:12,031
Then in the interest of neutrality,

705
00:30:12,098 --> 00:30:13,399
I withdraw the question.

706
00:30:13,466 --> 00:30:14,700
Thank you, Your Honor.

707
00:30:14,768 --> 00:30:16,602
- Anything further?
- No, Your Honor.

708
00:30:16,669 --> 00:30:20,472
Mr. Berger, do you care to
cross-examine Judge Jenkins?

709
00:30:20,540 --> 00:30:22,107
Not at this time, Your Honor.

710
00:30:22,175 --> 00:30:26,108
But I would like to recall
Sylvia Arthur to the stand.

711
00:30:30,884 --> 00:30:33,085
Ms. Arthur, did you speak
to Judge Jenkins

712
00:30:33,153 --> 00:30:35,954
the day you received
Mr. Buckingham's donation?

713
00:30:40,452 --> 00:30:41,619
I did.

714
00:30:42,026 --> 00:30:44,483
What was the content of that call?

715
00:30:46,839 --> 00:30:48,239
Ms. Arthur.

716
00:30:50,470 --> 00:30:53,572
Judge Jenkins, uh, told me to call her

717
00:30:53,658 --> 00:30:55,147
as soon as I received the donation

718
00:30:55,232 --> 00:30:56,675
to make sure it went through.

719
00:30:56,740 --> 00:30:59,344
You didn't think to
divulge this information earlier?

720
00:30:59,412 --> 00:31:01,213
I answered every question I was asked.

721
00:31:01,281 --> 00:31:03,582
You didn't question
where the money came from?

722
00:31:03,650 --> 00:31:05,017
Objection, argumentative.

723
00:31:05,085 --> 00:31:07,019
Sustained. You don't need to answer.

724
00:31:07,087 --> 00:31:08,554
You have no idea what we're up against.

725
00:31:09,233 --> 00:31:12,391
40% of homeless youth
in this country are LGBTQ,

726
00:31:12,459 --> 00:31:14,159
and we have to beg for support.

727
00:31:14,227 --> 00:31:19,131
So when someone offers
my organization $50,000,

728
00:31:19,199 --> 00:31:20,833
part of being good at my job is knowing

729
00:31:20,900 --> 00:31:22,367
which questions not to ask.

730
00:31:22,435 --> 00:31:25,370
Did Judge Jenkins tell you
the donation was coming

731
00:31:25,395 --> 00:31:27,317
before it was made?

732
00:31:30,343 --> 00:31:31,775
Yes.

733
00:31:32,479 --> 00:31:34,980
No further questions, Your Honor.

734
00:31:40,687 --> 00:31:42,287
Can we walk and talk?

735
00:31:42,355 --> 00:31:44,323
Uh, Benner's taking the bench
in a minute,

736
00:31:44,390 --> 00:31:46,558
and I've got Corrine Cuthbert
and her bag of tricks.

737
00:31:46,626 --> 00:31:48,560
I wouldn't try to pull you away
if it wasn't something...

738
00:31:50,029 --> 00:31:52,664
Uh... I want to talk.
It's just, I have...

739
00:31:52,732 --> 00:31:54,933
Tonight, then? At home?

740
00:31:55,001 --> 00:31:58,570
- At home?
- Yeah.

741
00:31:58,638 --> 00:32:00,272
- Yeah.
- Okay.

742
00:32:06,246 --> 00:32:08,623
Feels just like Christmas
morning, doesn't it, Callan?

743
00:32:08,647 --> 00:32:09,848
You need a miracle?

744
00:32:09,916 --> 00:32:11,850
If we get Laski,
we paper him immediately.

745
00:32:11,918 --> 00:32:14,186
- You ready?
- Form 170.6 is my favorite form.

746
00:32:14,254 --> 00:32:15,454
Yes.

747
00:32:15,522 --> 00:32:17,233
All rise.

748
00:32:18,758 --> 00:32:21,693
Calling the matter of
People v. Wayne McCarthy.

749
00:32:21,761 --> 00:32:23,962
Counsel, your appearances.

750
00:32:24,030 --> 00:32:25,624
Corrine Cuthbert on his behalf.
He is present.

751
00:32:25,674 --> 00:32:27,866
Mark Callan for the People.
You may be seated.

752
00:32:29,335 --> 00:32:32,804
When a controversial case
catches public attention,

753
00:32:32,872 --> 00:32:35,833
people speculate
on the judge's leanings.

754
00:32:35,890 --> 00:32:39,444
The primary duty of a judge
is not leaning.

755
00:32:39,512 --> 00:32:42,281
Counsel would do well to remember that.

756
00:32:44,150 --> 00:32:45,450
The matter of People v. McCarthy

757
00:32:45,518 --> 00:32:47,519
is assigned to Judge Albert Campbell.

758
00:32:47,587 --> 00:32:49,221
- Mm.
- We can work with Campbell.

759
00:32:49,289 --> 00:32:50,989
Love Campbell.
That's not gonna work for me.

760
00:32:51,412 --> 00:32:52,858
Hold on. I've got it.

761
00:32:53,439 --> 00:32:56,562
Ms. Cuthbert, as you found
fault in my original choice,

762
00:32:56,629 --> 00:32:58,797
we'll need to move on
to the next available judge.

763
00:32:58,865 --> 00:33:00,132
Thank you.

764
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,168
Judge Lola Carmichael will preside.

765
00:33:03,236 --> 00:33:05,157
Judge "Defund the Police"?
You're joking.

766
00:33:05,197 --> 00:33:07,839
Judge Carmichael is meticulously fair

767
00:33:07,907 --> 00:33:10,742
and highly respected.
She's the next judge in line.

768
00:33:10,810 --> 00:33:12,978
Everyone in this courthouse
knows that Judge Carmichael

769
00:33:13,046 --> 00:33:14,733
and Mr. Callan are personally close.

770
00:33:14,792 --> 00:33:17,349
I don't want to file
an affidavit of actual bias.

771
00:33:18,333 --> 00:33:20,118
Should you chose to do so, Ms. Cuthbert,

772
00:33:20,186 --> 00:33:22,233
there is a form for that as well.

773
00:33:23,856 --> 00:33:25,757
Carmichael. High five.

774
00:33:26,358 --> 00:33:28,994
You see Carmichael as an advantage.

775
00:33:29,062 --> 00:33:31,730
I will make her your Achilles' heel.

776
00:33:32,317 --> 00:33:33,899
This is not good.

777
00:33:40,191 --> 00:33:42,818
Shayne Monroe has asked us
to believe a lot today.

778
00:33:43,923 --> 00:33:46,170
He's asked us to believe
that he regrets his crime,

779
00:33:46,238 --> 00:33:49,442
to believe he is capable of change.

780
00:33:58,150 --> 00:34:00,518
Mr. Watkins, are you
making a recommendation?

781
00:34:10,395 --> 00:34:11,462
Mr. Watkins.

782
00:34:12,025 --> 00:34:13,397
Thank you.

783
00:34:13,465 --> 00:34:16,252
Shayne must've died inside
when he saw you.

784
00:34:16,333 --> 00:34:18,002
Mr. Monroe doesn't have
a good support network outside.

785
00:34:18,069 --> 00:34:19,503
He needs more insight

786
00:34:19,571 --> 00:34:22,483
on how his ideology
drove him to kill, but...

787
00:34:23,542 --> 00:34:25,376
if he works on those issues,
he could be released,

788
00:34:25,443 --> 00:34:28,479
especially if those he harmed
came to support it.

789
00:34:28,547 --> 00:34:30,648
My brother joined that militia

790
00:34:30,715 --> 00:34:32,816
because he thought the country
was failing the people

791
00:34:32,884 --> 00:34:35,025
it was supposed to take care of.

792
00:34:35,887 --> 00:34:37,288
Don't prove him right.

793
00:34:45,497 --> 00:34:47,932
Do you think that
compassion for a criminal

794
00:34:47,999 --> 00:34:49,867
is the same as cruelty to a victim?

795
00:34:49,935 --> 00:34:51,468
I gave you this assignment hoping

796
00:34:51,536 --> 00:34:53,437
you would ask questions like that.

797
00:34:53,505 --> 00:34:55,239
As long as you keep asking them,

798
00:34:55,817 --> 00:34:58,075
you're doing a good job, Watkins.

799
00:35:06,708 --> 00:35:08,352
Will the defendant please stand?

800
00:35:14,259 --> 00:35:17,294
There has been a lot of debate
in the last year

801
00:35:17,319 --> 00:35:20,955
about holding law enforcement
to a higher standard.

802
00:35:21,066 --> 00:35:23,200
I believe the judicial branch

803
00:35:23,225 --> 00:35:25,726
should be asking those same questions.

804
00:35:25,837 --> 00:35:28,439
Rigorous adherence to ethical standards

805
00:35:28,506 --> 00:35:32,710
is how we protect the integrity
of this institution.

806
00:35:33,553 --> 00:35:35,613
On the count of agreeing to take a bribe

807
00:35:35,638 --> 00:35:37,573
in violation of PC 93,

808
00:35:37,682 --> 00:35:40,651
this Court finds the defendant
guilty as charged.

809
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,483
The clerk shall record
the verdict as rendered.

810
00:35:48,693 --> 00:35:51,061
Only two years in, you think you know.

811
00:35:52,192 --> 00:35:53,397
It's only two years in.

812
00:35:53,465 --> 00:35:56,008
Mrs. Jenkins, you will be given
the opportunity

813
00:35:56,033 --> 00:35:57,380
to speak at sentencing.

814
00:35:57,405 --> 00:35:59,139
"Missus."

815
00:36:00,739 --> 00:36:03,442
For years, we see people at their worst.

816
00:36:04,776 --> 00:36:08,646
And even as a judge,
you can never do enough.

817
00:36:09,483 --> 00:36:13,050
You will see a chance
to make a real impact,

818
00:36:13,118 --> 00:36:16,520
and you will do the right thing,
even if it isn't legal.

819
00:36:16,588 --> 00:36:19,423
Do not pretend your moral failing

820
00:36:19,491 --> 00:36:22,078
was some sort of grand sacrifice.

821
00:36:22,140 --> 00:36:26,997
The right thing is the legal
thing, especially for us.

822
00:36:27,065 --> 00:36:29,085
Enjoy your superiority while it lasts.

823
00:36:29,136 --> 00:36:32,202
Enjoy? Do you have any idea
what you have done?

824
00:36:32,270 --> 00:36:36,240
If a judge can be bribed,
how can we ever

825
00:36:36,308 --> 00:36:38,442
convince someone on the margins

826
00:36:38,510 --> 00:36:41,077
that this building stands for them, too?

827
00:36:41,150 --> 00:36:43,580
That they can find justice here?

828
00:36:44,567 --> 00:36:47,084
I once thought that
you blazed a trail for me,

829
00:36:47,152 --> 00:36:49,025
but now you're just in my way.

830
00:36:49,621 --> 00:36:51,802
Sentencing will be in two weeks.

831
00:36:51,850 --> 00:36:53,357
We are done here.

832
00:37:09,574 --> 00:37:13,263
It wasn't skepticism. It was fear.

833
00:37:13,341 --> 00:37:14,531
Okay.

834
00:37:14,587 --> 00:37:17,393
When you came to me about Whitney,

835
00:37:17,459 --> 00:37:19,983
I-I just didn't want to believe it,

836
00:37:20,051 --> 00:37:22,853
- and I-I handled it poorly.
- Yes.

837
00:37:22,921 --> 00:37:24,855
I-I can't apologize enough.

838
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,315
What you did took bravery.

839
00:37:27,650 --> 00:37:29,817
Whitney is your friend,

840
00:37:30,505 --> 00:37:31,838
but she is not well,

841
00:37:31,863 --> 00:37:34,798
and she's gonna need
a lot of help to get better.

842
00:37:39,070 --> 00:37:40,471
Good night.

843
00:37:45,710 --> 00:37:48,412
I have got to do more cardio.

844
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,814
I'm putting a spin bike in my chambers.

845
00:37:52,617 --> 00:37:56,153
Jenkins threatened everything
I love about this job.

846
00:37:56,750 --> 00:37:59,169
- Jenkins?
- Yeah. Jenkins.

847
00:37:59,608 --> 00:38:02,172
- What?
- You haven't been told?

848
00:38:03,067 --> 00:38:04,561
Don't tell me you kissed somebody else.

849
00:38:04,629 --> 00:38:05,896
I don't even want to know.

850
00:38:05,964 --> 00:38:09,417
Lo, Benner named the presiding
judge in the McCarthy case.

851
00:38:10,068 --> 00:38:11,442
It's you.

852
00:38:12,733 --> 00:38:15,706
That... is a surprise.

853
00:38:15,774 --> 00:38:18,242
This is gonna get ugly.
You have a family now.

854
00:38:18,309 --> 00:38:20,844
I'm a judge, it's what
I've been called to do.

855
00:38:21,150 --> 00:38:23,213
And even though we won't be
able to talk for a while...

856
00:38:23,281 --> 00:38:26,517
- Not even a little bit?
- Not even a little. We will be okay.

857
00:38:30,255 --> 00:38:33,195
This McCarthy case, it's... big, Lola,

858
00:38:33,234 --> 00:38:34,691
and Cuthbert is gonna
hit us with everything...

859
00:38:34,759 --> 00:38:36,039
All right, go.

860
00:38:36,083 --> 00:38:37,795
- Now?
- Yes, now.

861
00:38:37,862 --> 00:38:39,730
Just standing here could tank your case.

862
00:38:39,798 --> 00:38:42,433
- Starting tomorrow.
- And move out of the guest house, stat.

863
00:38:47,605 --> 00:38:50,774
- Love you.
- Love you, too, goof.

864
00:39:11,329 --> 00:39:12,763
I was wrong about us.

865
00:39:13,041 --> 00:39:14,474
I preferred you talking about work.

866
00:39:14,499 --> 00:39:16,600
I'm sorry. I couldn't wait.

867
00:39:17,402 --> 00:39:18,802
You want to sit?

868
00:39:23,675 --> 00:39:26,143
I've been thinking about
our future like it's one...

869
00:39:26,211 --> 00:39:27,511
single decision.

870
00:39:27,579 --> 00:39:29,646
You choose me, I choose you, the end.

871
00:39:29,714 --> 00:39:32,216
You've put me under a lot of pressure.

872
00:39:32,283 --> 00:39:34,275
And that's where I was wrong.

873
00:39:35,086 --> 00:39:39,567
It's not one huge decision.
It's a hundred little ones.

874
00:39:40,291 --> 00:39:42,459
You know, building a life
together isn't jumping off a cliff.

875
00:39:42,527 --> 00:39:44,127
- It's...
- Climbing up one?

876
00:39:44,195 --> 00:39:47,164
It's having faith that
your partner's gonna choose you

877
00:39:47,232 --> 00:39:49,500
every one of those little times.

878
00:39:49,567 --> 00:39:52,402
I want you to have faith in me.

879
00:39:52,900 --> 00:39:58,208
That everyday, simple "yes"?
That sounds wonderful.

880
00:39:58,775 --> 00:40:00,233
But?

881
00:40:01,246 --> 00:40:03,313
I worry that I only know

882
00:40:03,381 --> 00:40:05,315
how to operate in crisis mode.

883
00:40:05,383 --> 00:40:09,386
I want to stop and just be...

884
00:40:09,454 --> 00:40:12,222
uncomplicated with someone.

885
00:40:12,290 --> 00:40:13,900
With me.

886
00:40:17,762 --> 00:40:21,398
I think about it... a lot.

887
00:40:24,536 --> 00:40:27,738
Me saying "I love you" is not

888
00:40:27,805 --> 00:40:30,192
the first step in the relationship.

889
00:40:31,175 --> 00:40:33,076
But what... What if we took one?

890
00:40:33,144 --> 00:40:36,113
One... one simple,
one uncomplicated one?

891
00:40:45,657 --> 00:40:48,792
What would that first step look like?

892
00:40:49,542 --> 00:40:52,796
Little choices. I'll cook you dinner.

893
00:40:54,999 --> 00:40:56,442
That sounds nice.

894
00:40:57,150 --> 00:40:58,902
As long as there are
no margaritas involved.

895
00:41:00,104 --> 00:41:01,705
Okay?

896
00:41:01,773 --> 00:41:05,976
Because, wow. They're so bad.

897
00:41:20,411 --> 00:41:22,145
This is nice.

898
00:41:30,335 --> 00:41:31,568
Amy...

899
00:41:31,636 --> 00:41:35,872
you have every right to be angry.

900
00:41:37,141 --> 00:41:41,578
I did something so stupid,
and then I made it worse

901
00:41:41,646 --> 00:41:43,547
- by not telling you I...
- Mark, I've been trying...

902
00:41:43,615 --> 00:41:45,182
Look, I know you have.

903
00:41:45,249 --> 00:41:46,557
And the fact that you're

904
00:41:46,581 --> 00:41:48,218
- even considering...
- I'm married.

905
00:42:02,707 --> 00:42:04,434
We were young.

906
00:42:04,502 --> 00:42:05,502
19.

907
00:42:05,570 --> 00:42:07,437
For a while, it was...

908
00:42:08,317 --> 00:42:09,640
We were each other's ticket out.

909
00:42:09,707 --> 00:42:10,741
He was actually the reason I...

910
00:42:10,808 --> 00:42:12,676
- Out of what?
- What?

911
00:42:12,744 --> 00:42:14,444
Your ticket out of what?

912
00:42:14,512 --> 00:42:19,400
Just... a small town, I guess.

913
00:42:20,275 --> 00:42:22,719
- I wanted to be extraordinary.
- Amy...

914
00:42:22,787 --> 00:42:25,889
you are extraordinary.

915
00:42:29,594 --> 00:42:33,263
But we grew up, and apart.

916
00:42:33,331 --> 00:42:35,132
We decided to end things, but...

917
00:42:35,199 --> 00:42:36,433
then he got sick and...

918
00:42:36,501 --> 00:42:38,969
- I need to take a walk.
- Mark...

919
00:42:39,037 --> 00:42:41,911
Come on, Mark. Ask me anything.

920
00:42:54,385 --> 00:42:55,652
Mark?

921
00:43:04,655 --> 00:43:09,735
