- I never lied.

You don't know the lopezes.

You just met 'em once, right?

I just spent two hours

digging for information,

trying to do you a favor.

Now, stop playing games.

Don't talk to me like that.

I need to get back to work.

I'll defend your brother.

I'll do my job.

There's a lot of things

you don't understand.

Just... I want you

out of here now, please.

Detective pritchard.

Did you make contact

with an individual

named juan torres?

Yes, I did.

Where was he when

you made contact?

Well, based on

the victim's

identification

of the perpetrator,

sergeant smith

and myself traveled

to 1148 pierce street.

While at that location,

we made contact

with an individual

who identified himself

as juan torres.

Do you see that person

in the courtroom today?

Yes, I do.

Can you please identify him

for the record?

He is the individual

seated at the table

next to counsel

wearing dark pants

and with dark hair.

Your honor,

let the record reflect

that the sergeant

has pointed out

the defendant.

It will so reflect.

Sergeant, when you

contacted the defendant,

did you search his person

and his residence?

- Yes, I did.

- And before you

made contact

with the defendant,

did the victim,

mrs. Lopez, identify

any missing items

that were forcibly

removed from her home?

Yes, it was reported to us

by the victim that

a number of items

had been taken...

a couple of rings,

a knife and a wallet...

the knife,

more specifically,

being the knife that

was held to her during

the time of the crime.

That was taken as well.

And did you ever recover

any of these items?

Yes, I did.

Upon searching him,

I found two rings

and a pocket knife,

both of which

were consistent with

the victim's statement

as to what was taken.

And upon searching

the defendant's bedroom,

we found a wallet.

The contents of this wallet

contained the victim's

personal identification.

So it was at that time that

we placed him under arrest

and transported him

to the law enforcement center.

Thank you.

No further questions.

Your witness, mr. Stone.

Thank you,

your honor.

Sergeant pritchard.

Would you say that

it is your responsibility

to do a thorough

and complete job

of every investigation?

Yes, of course. I always do.

And you always do.

You see, that's what

I'm interested in.

I... I'm interested

in how you do

such an incredible job

and such a complete job.

What I'm really interested in

is your theory on how my client

made it through

the alleged point

of entry,

especially considering

that alleged point of entry

was a 9x16 hole

next to a window

with an air conditioning

unit in it.

Now, detective pritchard,

was that air conditioning unit

still in the window

when you arrived?

- Yes, it was.

- It was.

And, um, had anyone called

and, you know,

complained and said

the air conditioner

had been stolen

or maybe removed?

Not to the best

of my knowledge, no.

Not to the best

of your knowledge, no.

Okay, so it's your theory

that my client...

a six-foot, 225-lb grown man...

fit through a 9x16 hole.

Now how do you think

that's possible?

What do you mean?

He crawled through it.

He crawled through it.

That's really

really interesting,

'cause... this

is a 9x16 hole.

And as you can see,

it is physically impossible...

- For my client...

- Objection, your honor.

This exhibit

was not introduced

to the state in discovery

or properly introduced.

It's inappropriate.

Your honor, please please,

if I could just speak...

no. Objection sustained.

No further questions,

your honor.

Dear god.

Law offices of jaxon stone.

This is vanessa.

How may I assist you?

Hey, it's me. Listen, um...

hang on a minute.

Can you hear me?

I'm in an elevator.

I'm losing service.

- Mm-hmm.

- Look, I need a huge favor.

I need you to find out

what hospital

selena lopez went to

and what doctor

she saw, okay?

We need to get ahold

of this rape kit.

I am getting my ass

kicked right now,

and if we don't do something,

I'm gonna lose

this f***ing trial.

All right, um,

give me a few minutes.

I will see what

I can dig up, all right?

Whatever you can do, okay?

You can call anybody.

Just figure

something out, okay?

Yes sir.

Look what the cat drags in.

Yeah, get over here.

What's going on, man?

I thought our terms were clear,

- but obviously they're not.

- All right, look,

I'm withdrawing, okay?

I'm not his attorney anymore,

and this sh*t's

over with, okay?

- You need to leave

their family alone.

- This is non-negotiable.

What do you mean,

"non-negotiable"?

Let me tell you

what is negotiable.

What if I go to the feds

and tell them all about

your little operation?

Can we negotiate then,

or do you wanna negotiate now?

I'll negotiate now.

I suggest that

you'd better do

what you're good at

- and get this f***er off!

- Okay.

'Cause I don't think

you can fly, motherf***er.

We'll let ourselves out.

F***!

What's going on?

So what's going on?

Why are you here?

If you answer

one question for me,

then I'll answer

whatever you ask.

Okay, shoot, ask the question.

- What happened?

- What do you mean,

"what happened?"

"What happened?" Is

a very vague question.

Who was that guy

who shot himself on tv?

That guy...

That guy was tom harper, okay?

And my client raymond ramos

killed his wife and his son.

And you want me to tell you

the worst part of all of it?

I knew he did it.

I knew he was guilty.

I f***ing knew he was guilty

since the first day I met him.

You know why?

He confessed to me.

But hey, you know

what I was interested in?

I wanted to f***ing win.

I wanted the money.

You know why?

'Cause I'm a goddamn winner!

That's why I'm here right now!

I win!

And you know what?

I might as well have sold

my f***ing soul that day too,

'cause that guy

might be alive right now.

But hey, you know what?

That's life.

Let's take

a f***ing shot to it.

Now, what do you have to say?

There's my confession.

Please. I need you

to tell me what's going on.

If you tell me, I can help you.

If you don't tell me,

I can't do anything.

Okay?

This entire thing

with you and your brother...

it doesn't make sense.

It hasn't made sense.

Like, he tells me one thing,

you tell me something else.

You guys are hiding something,

and if you don't come clean,

I can't help you.

Now, do I look like a toy?

Do I look like something you

just f***ing sit on the ground

and play with?

I'm not a f***ing toy.

Now please, god,

tell me what's going on.

De la cruz.

B*tch, get in the car.

F***. No.

I don't know. I don't know.

Let me go. Please let me go.

Please let me go.

We can stop this.

Please. No no. No!
