1
00:00:47,416 --> 00:00:48,808
Dad, I'm home.
2
00:01:09,264 --> 00:01:10,482
What you got there?
3
00:01:12,441 --> 00:01:15,139
Oh, that?
Don't worry about that.
4
00:01:15,183 --> 00:01:17,576
I'll have a new job
before any of that happens.
5
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:19,100
You hungry?
6
00:01:19,143 --> 00:01:21,145
How about some
mac and cheese?
7
00:01:43,385 --> 00:01:44,951
-The hell is going on? Hey!
-Damn!
8
00:01:44,995 --> 00:01:46,779
Hey, hey!
9
00:01:56,049 --> 00:01:57,964
Hey!
10
00:01:58,008 --> 00:01:59,096
Get out of here! Go!
11
00:01:59,140 --> 00:02:01,794
Just go!
12
00:02:01,838 --> 00:02:03,056
Now!
13
00:02:12,675 --> 00:02:15,112
You're good, I'm good.
14
00:02:15,156 --> 00:02:17,854
I like your mask,
you like my mask.
15
00:02:17,897 --> 00:02:19,812
So, what's the ask?
16
00:02:19,856 --> 00:02:21,292
Excuse me?
17
00:02:21,336 --> 00:02:23,294
Come on, Anna.
18
00:02:23,338 --> 00:02:25,296
Y-You've been too
busy for five weeks
19
00:02:25,340 --> 00:02:27,429
to chat on the phone
with your dad.
20
00:02:27,472 --> 00:02:29,039
And then today you
want to come to me
21
00:02:29,082 --> 00:02:32,216
and buy me fancy coffee
and a nice scone?
22
00:02:32,260 --> 00:02:35,872
Your dad wasn't born
yesterday, so talk to me.
23
00:02:35,915 --> 00:02:37,352
What's the ask?
24
00:02:37,395 --> 00:02:38,831
Two things.
25
00:02:38,875 --> 00:02:40,181
Two things?
26
00:02:40,224 --> 00:02:41,486
I'm seeing someone.
27
00:02:41,530 --> 00:02:43,880
I've been seeing someone.
28
00:02:43,923 --> 00:02:46,926
Well, hey, that's great.
That-that makes me happy.
29
00:02:46,970 --> 00:02:50,060
Great. 'Cause I-I want you
to meet him.
30
00:02:50,103 --> 00:02:51,714
I want to meet him.
31
00:02:51,757 --> 00:02:53,150
Uh-- Okay.
32
00:02:53,194 --> 00:02:54,934
So, what's the second ask?
33
00:02:56,849 --> 00:02:59,417
He needs a lawyer.
34
00:02:59,461 --> 00:03:00,766
What?
35
00:03:00,810 --> 00:03:03,769
So, what's this guy's problem?
36
00:03:03,813 --> 00:03:05,249
This guy I've never met.
37
00:03:05,293 --> 00:03:07,251
What'd he do?
Why's he need a lawyer?
38
00:03:07,295 --> 00:03:10,254
No, he didn't do anything.
It's for one of his students.
39
00:03:10,298 --> 00:03:13,214
Oh, he's a teacher.
40
00:03:13,257 --> 00:03:15,651
Okay. I like that.
41
00:03:15,694 --> 00:03:19,132
Actually, he's a writer.
42
00:03:19,176 --> 00:03:21,700
A really talented,
published writer.
43
00:03:21,744 --> 00:03:24,616
He has had quite a few
short stories published online.
44
00:03:24,660 --> 00:03:26,705
He wrote a book review
for the Times.
45
00:03:26,749 --> 00:03:30,056
Um, and he's almost done
with his first novel.
46
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:32,276
Okay. I'm impressed.
47
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,278
He also teaches a
creative writing workshop
48
00:03:34,322 --> 00:03:37,934
at an after-school program
for underprivileged kids.
49
00:03:37,977 --> 00:03:39,762
So, okay.
50
00:03:39,805 --> 00:03:41,416
I get it. Look, the thing is,
51
00:03:41,459 --> 00:03:44,375
is that I, I can't just take
a case because I want to.
52
00:03:44,419 --> 00:03:45,855
I work for somebody.
53
00:03:45,898 --> 00:03:48,771
Oh, I know, I know.
54
00:03:48,814 --> 00:03:52,078
But surely an incredible lawyer
like yourself
55
00:03:52,122 --> 00:03:54,603
can convince your boss
to take the case.
56
00:03:54,646 --> 00:03:56,692
So now I'm an
"incredible" lawyer, huh?
57
00:04:16,146 --> 00:04:17,582
Hey.
58
00:04:17,626 --> 00:04:19,497
Come on in.
59
00:04:19,541 --> 00:04:20,933
Hi.
60
00:04:22,370 --> 00:04:24,023
Hey.
61
00:04:24,067 --> 00:04:25,503
Uh, it's great to
meet you, Brooks.
62
00:04:25,547 --> 00:04:26,939
Pleasure to meet you,
too, Mr. Palmer.
63
00:04:26,983 --> 00:04:28,245
Oh, we're doing that.
64
00:04:28,289 --> 00:04:29,942
-Okay.
-And thank you
for agreeing
65
00:04:29,986 --> 00:04:31,553
to-to see me today.
66
00:04:31,596 --> 00:04:34,295
I mean,
about this other matter.
67
00:04:34,338 --> 00:04:36,601
Believe me,
this is not how I imagined
68
00:04:36,645 --> 00:04:38,429
we would be meeting.
69
00:04:38,473 --> 00:04:39,778
Doesn't matter how it happens.
70
00:04:39,822 --> 00:04:41,214
Good news is,
here we are, right?
71
00:04:42,477 --> 00:04:43,782
Uh, and I've heard
nothing but, uh,
72
00:04:43,826 --> 00:04:45,306
great things about you, Brooks.
73
00:04:45,349 --> 00:04:47,656
Oh, I wonder from whom.
74
00:04:47,699 --> 00:04:50,354
Yeah. So, you know what?
Why don't you grab a seat?
75
00:04:50,398 --> 00:04:52,356
I'm gonna sneak out in
the hallway for just a second.
76
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,445
Anna, can I steal you
for a moment?
77
00:05:05,021 --> 00:05:07,066
So, what do you think?
78
00:05:07,110 --> 00:05:08,720
How old is that man?
79
00:05:08,764 --> 00:05:10,026
He's 30.
80
00:05:10,069 --> 00:05:11,810
Does he know
that you're only 21?
81
00:05:11,854 --> 00:05:13,508
Only 21?
82
00:05:13,551 --> 00:05:15,161
I mean, h-he's a grown man.
83
00:05:15,205 --> 00:05:17,773
He's g-- a man,
and-and he's grown.
84
00:05:17,816 --> 00:05:19,644
He's o-- He's old enough
to be your...
85
00:05:19,688 --> 00:05:22,212
My boyfriend. I know.
86
00:05:27,565 --> 00:05:31,264
I'm telling you, I have worked
with this kid for two years now.
87
00:05:31,308 --> 00:05:34,703
He's a good person.
88
00:05:34,746 --> 00:05:36,792
He's a-a bright kid,
89
00:05:36,835 --> 00:05:38,968
and he's an exceptionally
talented writer,
90
00:05:39,011 --> 00:05:40,404
especially for his age.
91
00:05:40,448 --> 00:05:42,058
The thing is,
Mr. Palmer,
92
00:05:42,101 --> 00:05:45,061
this kid has never caught
a break in his life.
93
00:05:46,105 --> 00:05:47,716
His mom died when he was little.
94
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:50,588
His father's been
in and out of work.
95
00:05:50,632 --> 00:05:53,069
They've even been homeless
a couple of times.
96
00:05:53,112 --> 00:05:54,984
I'm not saying this is
in any way an excuse
97
00:05:55,027 --> 00:05:56,638
to break the law, but...
98
00:05:56,681 --> 00:05:58,030
There has to be something
you can do.
99
00:05:58,074 --> 00:06:00,032
Yes.
100
00:06:00,076 --> 00:06:02,513
Uh, look, I'd love to help.
101
00:06:02,557 --> 00:06:05,037
But as I've tried to
explain to my daughter,
102
00:06:05,081 --> 00:06:07,866
it's not exactly
up to me.
103
00:06:07,910 --> 00:06:10,434
Especially when we're taking
about taking the case pro bono.
104
00:06:10,478 --> 00:06:12,131
Oh, no.
I-I'm not expecting you
105
00:06:12,175 --> 00:06:13,437
to do this pro bono.
106
00:06:13,481 --> 00:06:15,961
I'm-- I am happy
to pay for your help.
107
00:06:16,005 --> 00:06:19,138
Well, that's
very nice of you,
108
00:06:19,182 --> 00:06:21,706
but... look around.
109
00:06:21,750 --> 00:06:23,534
This place comes with
more bells and whistles
110
00:06:23,578 --> 00:06:25,493
than your traditional
law firm.
111
00:06:25,536 --> 00:06:27,712
And they don't come cheap.
112
00:06:27,756 --> 00:06:29,888
No, no. I'm aware.
113
00:06:29,932 --> 00:06:33,979
And I'm assuming this could
run into six figures,
114
00:06:34,023 --> 00:06:36,634
but I'm comfortable with that.
115
00:06:42,074 --> 00:06:44,033
What's their ETA?
116
00:06:44,076 --> 00:06:45,643
Do they even have an ETA?
117
00:06:45,687 --> 00:06:47,297
I don't know what
to tell you.
118
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:49,473
I have left several messages.
119
00:06:49,517 --> 00:06:51,562
I keep getting
the father's phone,
120
00:06:51,606 --> 00:06:53,477
I leave him a voice mail...
121
00:06:53,521 --> 00:06:55,044
This is what I get
for going to court
122
00:06:55,087 --> 00:06:56,306
without meeting
the client first.
123
00:06:58,134 --> 00:07:00,310
Courtroom 32. This is it.
124
00:07:00,353 --> 00:07:02,355
Mr. Hartwell. Callum.
125
00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:04,009
Mr. Palmer?
126
00:07:04,053 --> 00:07:06,882
-Yes, that's me. This
is Dr. Jason Bull.
127
00:07:18,328 --> 00:07:20,417
Mr. Hartwell, Callum.
128
00:07:20,461 --> 00:07:22,245
He's looking at some pretty
serious charges.
129
00:07:22,288 --> 00:07:23,681
First degree robbery
130
00:07:23,725 --> 00:07:25,204
and grand larceny.
131
00:07:25,248 --> 00:07:26,771
Just so you know what
you're staring at there,
132
00:07:26,815 --> 00:07:28,599
the maximum penalty
for those two crimes
133
00:07:28,643 --> 00:07:30,514
is 25 years in prison.
134
00:07:30,558 --> 00:07:34,475
Uh-- No, no. 25 years? No, he...
135
00:07:34,518 --> 00:07:36,128
But there is good news.
136
00:07:36,172 --> 00:07:38,261
Because you're 14,
137
00:07:38,304 --> 00:07:40,524
and because
you don't have a record,
138
00:07:40,568 --> 00:07:42,308
I'm able to ask the
judge to consider
139
00:07:42,352 --> 00:07:45,877
moving your case from criminal
court to family court.
140
00:07:45,921 --> 00:07:48,401
And if the judge agrees,
then there's a possibility
141
00:07:48,445 --> 00:07:51,927
you could walk away from this
whole thing with just probation.
142
00:07:53,494 --> 00:07:55,496
Do you know what
probation is?
143
00:07:56,801 --> 00:07:58,934
Here's the thing.
144
00:07:58,977 --> 00:08:00,413
The judge is far more likely
to move the case
145
00:08:00,457 --> 00:08:02,503
if the prosecutor
doesn't object.
146
00:08:02,546 --> 00:08:04,374
Now, we spoke to the prosecutor
this morning,
147
00:08:04,417 --> 00:08:08,509
and she is willing to agree
to all this on one condition.
148
00:08:08,552 --> 00:08:10,249
You have to tell her the names
149
00:08:10,293 --> 00:08:11,990
of the people
you were working with.
150
00:08:12,034 --> 00:08:14,602
You have to give her
the name of every person
151
00:08:14,645 --> 00:08:16,125
who was involved
with you
152
00:08:16,168 --> 00:08:18,562
in the commission
of this crime.
153
00:08:18,606 --> 00:08:21,826
Okay, but...
154
00:08:21,870 --> 00:08:25,526
What if there's nothing to tell?
155
00:08:25,569 --> 00:08:28,006
What if I did
this whole thing myself?
156
00:08:28,050 --> 00:08:31,009
Callum, Mr. Palmer and I know
that's not true.
157
00:08:31,053 --> 00:08:32,794
The prosecutor knows
that's not true.
158
00:08:32,837 --> 00:08:35,318
Somebody drove away in the Range
Rover when you were caught.
159
00:08:35,361 --> 00:08:38,582
Callum, we can't help you
if you lie to us.
160
00:08:40,628 --> 00:08:42,847
Callum, what are you doing?
161
00:08:42,891 --> 00:08:45,067
You need to tell these people
who did this.
162
00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:46,590
Who put you up to this.
163
00:08:46,634 --> 00:08:48,157
You got to tell us
something before we walk
164
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,856
into that courtroom,
or this deal's gonna disappear.
165
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:54,163
Callum, who drove off
in the car?
166
00:08:56,644 --> 00:08:59,429
I'm sorry, but...
167
00:08:59,472 --> 00:09:01,257
I can't tell you that.
168
00:09:14,357 --> 00:09:16,794
Hey! Anybody
from my campaign stop by
169
00:09:16,838 --> 00:09:18,883
this morning
to drop off some boxes?
170
00:09:18,927 --> 00:09:20,624
Boxes? I didn't see any boxes.
171
00:09:20,668 --> 00:09:22,147
Danny, did you see any boxes?
172
00:09:22,191 --> 00:09:23,801
Uh, nope.
173
00:09:23,845 --> 00:09:25,542
And what's all this talk
about a campaign?
174
00:09:25,586 --> 00:09:26,674
Taylor? Do you know
anything about this?
175
00:09:26,717 --> 00:09:28,676
About what?
176
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,418
Thank you.
177
00:09:32,462 --> 00:09:34,333
Look who's here.
178
00:09:36,118 --> 00:09:37,423
You coming in to get
an extra large,
179
00:09:37,467 --> 00:09:39,164
or did you just drop in
to say hi?
180
00:09:39,208 --> 00:09:40,644
Mr. COVID Candidate.
181
00:09:40,688 --> 00:09:42,559
How goes the no handshaking,
182
00:09:42,603 --> 00:09:46,128
no baby-kissing,
no hot dog-eating campaigning?
183
00:09:46,171 --> 00:09:48,304
It goes.
184
00:09:48,347 --> 00:09:51,133
Did Bull tell you about
our excellent morning in court?
185
00:09:51,176 --> 00:09:53,962
Oh, yeah, I just got
off the phone with him.
186
00:09:54,005 --> 00:09:56,225
Now, here's the problem, Chunk.
187
00:09:56,268 --> 00:09:58,575
The police believe
that stolen Range Rover
188
00:09:58,619 --> 00:10:00,272
is just one in a string
189
00:10:00,316 --> 00:10:02,535
of high-end car
thefts in the area.
190
00:10:02,579 --> 00:10:04,233
They can't all be kids, right?
191
00:10:04,276 --> 00:10:06,496
No. No, no. It's too difficult
192
00:10:06,539 --> 00:10:08,498
to fence expensive cars
like that.
193
00:10:08,541 --> 00:10:11,283
Yeah, there's got to be an adult
somewhere calling the shots.
194
00:10:11,327 --> 00:10:13,677
-Yeah.
195
00:10:13,721 --> 00:10:15,505
So, what's your
backup plan?
196
00:10:15,548 --> 00:10:19,727
I mean, if you can't find
one of these adults in time?
197
00:10:21,293 --> 00:10:24,035
They're charging this kid Callum
with first-degree robbery.
198
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:26,255
Right? First degree
meaning that the robbery
199
00:10:26,298 --> 00:10:29,432
involved, uh,
some serious physical injury,
200
00:10:29,475 --> 00:10:31,086
a-a dangerous weapon
201
00:10:31,129 --> 00:10:33,262
or a-a deadly instrument,
right?
202
00:10:33,305 --> 00:10:35,090
Which it did.
203
00:10:35,133 --> 00:10:37,309
I mean, Bull said the kid went
after the guy with a hammer.
204
00:10:37,353 --> 00:10:39,355
Yeah... but he didn't.
205
00:10:39,398 --> 00:10:41,400
He defended himself
with the hammer.
206
00:10:41,444 --> 00:10:43,664
The hammer was meant to be
a tool to get into the car.
207
00:10:43,707 --> 00:10:45,230
You know, smash a window.
208
00:10:45,274 --> 00:10:46,797
It was never meant
to be a weapon.
209
00:10:46,841 --> 00:10:48,712
The plan the whole time was
210
00:10:48,756 --> 00:10:51,280
to steal the car
when nobody else was around.
211
00:10:51,323 --> 00:10:53,717
And your point is...?
212
00:10:53,761 --> 00:10:56,894
If I can prove that the hammer
was never meant to be a weapon,
213
00:10:56,938 --> 00:10:58,983
but that he only used it
in self-defense
214
00:10:59,027 --> 00:11:01,420
when the owner of the car
attacked him,
215
00:11:01,464 --> 00:11:05,033
then that takes the first-degree
robbery charge off the table.
216
00:11:05,076 --> 00:11:08,340
And we're only looking...
at grand larceny.
217
00:11:08,384 --> 00:11:10,342
Ah.
218
00:11:10,386 --> 00:11:14,433
Which gives your kid a chance at
probation instead of jail time.
219
00:11:15,521 --> 00:11:17,219
It's just my opinion, but...
220
00:11:17,262 --> 00:11:19,351
that's pretty good, Chunk.
221
00:11:19,395 --> 00:11:21,614
So, Officer Pearce...
222
00:11:21,658 --> 00:11:24,052
when you arrived on the scene
that night, did you find
223
00:11:24,095 --> 00:11:27,882
any evidence to corroborate
Mr. Shoemaker's statement that
224
00:11:27,925 --> 00:11:30,667
Callum Hartwell used
a weapon to force him
225
00:11:30,711 --> 00:11:32,103
from his vehicle?
226
00:11:32,147 --> 00:11:33,496
Uh, yes, ma'am.
227
00:11:33,539 --> 00:11:35,280
We recovered
a hammer from the scene
228
00:11:35,324 --> 00:11:37,282
that had Callum Hartwell's
fingerprints on it.
229
00:11:37,326 --> 00:11:39,589
Now, in his opening statement,
230
00:11:39,632 --> 00:11:41,983
Defense Counsel
asserted that
231
00:11:42,026 --> 00:11:44,463
his client only used the hammer
232
00:11:44,507 --> 00:11:46,596
in self-defense.
233
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:49,904
Presumably to fight off
Mr. Shoemaker,
234
00:11:49,947 --> 00:11:52,515
who surprised him
by being in the car
235
00:11:52,558 --> 00:11:54,735
he was attempting to steal.
236
00:11:54,778 --> 00:11:57,041
I'm curious.
237
00:11:57,085 --> 00:11:59,435
In the course
of your investigation,
238
00:11:59,478 --> 00:12:03,134
is that what the evidence
revealed, that this
239
00:12:03,178 --> 00:12:06,790
hammer was used
in a purely defensive way?
240
00:12:06,834 --> 00:12:09,358
No, it's not
what the evidence revealed.
241
00:12:09,401 --> 00:12:10,925
How so?
242
00:12:10,968 --> 00:12:13,362
I actually found a written plan
for the attack
243
00:12:13,405 --> 00:12:15,407
in a notebook,
which we found inside
244
00:12:15,451 --> 00:12:16,757
the defendant's backpack.
245
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,671
I don't know what she means.
246
00:12:18,715 --> 00:12:20,848
Objection, Your Honor!
247
00:12:20,891 --> 00:12:24,242
We never received any copy of
any so-called plan in discovery.
248
00:12:24,286 --> 00:12:26,244
Your Honor,
249
00:12:26,288 --> 00:12:28,681
I haven't had the opportunity
to share this evidence
250
00:12:28,725 --> 00:12:32,294
with defense because I only
became aware of it over lunch.
251
00:12:32,337 --> 00:12:34,687
I'm going to allow the
prosecution to introduce this.
252
00:12:34,731 --> 00:12:36,907
And, Mr. Palmer,
you'll receive ample time
253
00:12:36,951 --> 00:12:39,301
to examine the evidence
before your cross.
254
00:12:40,911 --> 00:12:42,652
Ooh, uh, here it is.
255
00:12:43,914 --> 00:12:45,873
Uh, as I mentioned, it's a list.
256
00:12:45,916 --> 00:12:49,050
And it's labeled
"Weapons for Carjacking."
257
00:12:49,093 --> 00:12:50,355
"Weapons."
258
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:52,836
Not tools. Weapons?
259
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,446
Uh, yes, ma'am.
260
00:12:54,490 --> 00:12:57,885
Uh, and then under that heading,
it says, "Gun,
261
00:12:57,928 --> 00:13:00,148
knife, crowbar, hammer."
262
00:13:00,191 --> 00:13:03,020
Uh, "hammer" is the last entry.
263
00:13:03,064 --> 00:13:05,109
And, again, just to be clear,
264
00:13:05,153 --> 00:13:08,852
this list is labeled
"Weapons for Carjacking,"
265
00:13:08,896 --> 00:13:12,029
not "Weapons for Self-Defense,"
correct?
266
00:13:12,073 --> 00:13:13,596
That's correct.
267
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:16,729
And is there
anything else in this notebook
268
00:13:16,773 --> 00:13:18,079
that caught
your attention?
269
00:13:18,122 --> 00:13:20,124
One other thing, but, um,
270
00:13:20,168 --> 00:13:22,997
I-I'm not quite sure
what to make of it.
271
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,521
Can you be more specific?
272
00:13:25,564 --> 00:13:27,131
What I would describe as, uh,
273
00:13:27,175 --> 00:13:29,264
almost like a, a script.
274
00:13:29,307 --> 00:13:31,919
A list of violent threats.
275
00:13:31,962 --> 00:13:34,182
Things someone might say
if they were executing
276
00:13:34,225 --> 00:13:36,358
a carjacking and got caught.
277
00:13:36,401 --> 00:13:39,448
And can I ask you
to please read them to us?
278
00:13:42,146 --> 00:13:44,757
"Don't make me smash
your face in.
279
00:13:44,801 --> 00:13:46,629
"Just get out of the car
280
00:13:46,672 --> 00:13:48,239
and give me the keys."
281
00:13:48,283 --> 00:13:50,720
And here's another.
282
00:13:50,763 --> 00:13:52,374
"I got a gun.
283
00:13:52,417 --> 00:13:54,245
"I'd rather not use it
and get your blood
284
00:13:54,289 --> 00:13:56,204
all over these nice
leather seats."
285
00:13:56,247 --> 00:13:58,032
And then there's
this one.
286
00:13:58,075 --> 00:13:59,772
"Just walk away.
287
00:13:59,816 --> 00:14:01,731
"Don't say a word.
288
00:14:01,774 --> 00:14:03,385
"Just tell the police
you came back
289
00:14:03,428 --> 00:14:05,561
to where you parked
and it was gone."
290
00:14:07,606 --> 00:14:09,957
It's just ideas
for a story.
291
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,915
That's all it is.
292
00:14:11,959 --> 00:14:13,874
My God.
293
00:14:13,917 --> 00:14:16,137
Can we recover from that?
294
00:14:16,180 --> 00:14:17,442
I don't know.
295
00:14:17,486 --> 00:14:19,357
20 minutes ago they were
smiling at our client.
296
00:14:19,401 --> 00:14:21,969
Now they all look as if
they'd be scared to run
297
00:14:22,012 --> 00:14:23,448
into him in a dark alley.
298
00:14:31,369 --> 00:14:32,936
Chunk just got back
from court.
299
00:14:32,980 --> 00:14:35,286
I am afraid it's all hands
on deck tonight.
300
00:14:35,330 --> 00:14:37,767
Tonight?
But my ex is out of town.
301
00:14:37,810 --> 00:14:39,073
Yeah, don't you have a neighbor?
302
00:14:39,116 --> 00:14:40,726
That's where Mauricio is
right now.
303
00:14:40,770 --> 00:14:43,120
But she has a strict 6:00 p.m.
and done policy.
304
00:14:44,121 --> 00:14:45,862
No, I know, Mrs. Bishoff.
305
00:14:45,906 --> 00:14:48,169
And I'm so grateful
for all you do for us.
306
00:14:48,212 --> 00:14:51,346
I was just wondering if there
was any way you could make
307
00:14:51,389 --> 00:14:54,610
an exception just this one time
and let Mauricio stay over.
308
00:14:54,653 --> 00:14:56,742
Mm-hmm.
309
00:14:56,786 --> 00:14:59,223
I just...
310
00:14:59,267 --> 00:15:01,182
I just found out
I have to work late tonight
311
00:15:01,225 --> 00:15:03,271
and I don't have anyone.
312
00:15:04,402 --> 00:15:06,056
No. I understand.
313
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:08,624
I'll try someone else.
314
00:15:08,667 --> 00:15:10,713
Yes. I promise you
someone will be there
315
00:15:10,756 --> 00:15:12,758
before 6:00 to round him up.
316
00:15:12,802 --> 00:15:15,718
No. I-I don't know who just yet.
317
00:15:17,198 --> 00:15:20,070
Actually, can I speak
with Mauricio for just a second?
318
00:15:22,551 --> 00:15:24,248
Hi, honey.
319
00:15:24,292 --> 00:15:26,468
I need your help with something.
320
00:15:26,511 --> 00:15:28,165
Mommy has to work late tonight.
321
00:15:28,209 --> 00:15:30,428
And I need someone
to pick you up and take you home
322
00:15:30,472 --> 00:15:32,735
and stay with you.
Now, do you have your key?
323
00:15:32,778 --> 00:15:34,693
You do? Great.
324
00:15:34,737 --> 00:15:37,044
And do you remember
that nice lady
325
00:15:37,087 --> 00:15:38,741
you met while you were
with Daddy?
326
00:15:38,784 --> 00:15:41,526
She really liked you
and you really liked her?
327
00:15:41,570 --> 00:15:44,007
Yes, the one Mommy was mean to.
328
00:15:44,051 --> 00:15:46,009
Remember she gave you
her number?
329
00:15:46,053 --> 00:15:47,793
You memorized it.
330
00:15:47,837 --> 00:15:50,535
Do you happen to remember it?
331
00:15:52,276 --> 00:15:54,409
Mr. Palmer, you have a visitor.
332
00:15:54,452 --> 00:15:56,411
Evening, Brooks.
333
00:15:56,454 --> 00:15:58,674
Thank you, Marissa.
334
00:15:58,717 --> 00:16:01,242
I hope you don't mind
my just popping by.
335
00:16:01,285 --> 00:16:04,245
I spoke to Callum
after court.
336
00:16:04,288 --> 00:16:06,899
And I was hoping you might
be able to give me a more...
337
00:16:06,943 --> 00:16:09,598
optimistic assessment
of how the day went?
338
00:16:09,641 --> 00:16:11,382
I wish that I could.
339
00:16:11,426 --> 00:16:13,384
Is it that bad?
340
00:16:13,428 --> 00:16:15,647
Well, it certainly wasn't good.
341
00:16:17,432 --> 00:16:20,000
I'm hoping it might finally
scare some sense into him.
342
00:16:20,043 --> 00:16:21,871
Get him to name some names.
343
00:16:21,914 --> 00:16:24,439
Stop protecting
whoever he's protecting.
344
00:16:24,482 --> 00:16:27,050
Uh, maybe you could speak
to him about it again.
345
00:16:27,094 --> 00:16:29,009
He obviously respects
the hell out of you.
346
00:16:29,052 --> 00:16:30,793
I just tried,but he's
347
00:16:30,836 --> 00:16:32,316
not budging.
348
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,493
But may I please make
another suggestion?
349
00:16:35,537 --> 00:16:37,756
I'm always happy
to take suggestions.
350
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,541
Put me on the stand.
351
00:16:39,584 --> 00:16:40,759
What?
352
00:16:40,803 --> 00:16:41,978
I can testify that the things
353
00:16:42,022 --> 00:16:43,023
they found in his notebook
354
00:16:43,066 --> 00:16:44,328
are parts of an assignment
355
00:16:44,372 --> 00:16:45,808
I had given the class.
356
00:16:45,851 --> 00:16:47,288
That I had asked him to
write about a crime.
357
00:16:47,331 --> 00:16:48,593
That I had asked him
358
00:16:48,637 --> 00:16:50,160
to write about a criminal.
359
00:16:50,204 --> 00:16:51,901
The kind of words he would say.
360
00:16:51,944 --> 00:16:54,947
The kind of things he would
need to do his job.
361
00:16:54,991 --> 00:16:56,862
Yeah, but...
362
00:16:56,906 --> 00:16:59,082
you didn't.
363
00:16:59,126 --> 00:17:00,910
Okay.
364
00:17:00,953 --> 00:17:04,566
Maybe I didn't assign it
specifically.
365
00:17:04,609 --> 00:17:07,699
But I assign all
types of stories.
366
00:17:07,743 --> 00:17:10,224
I give out all kinds
of assignments.
367
00:17:10,267 --> 00:17:12,965
It would only be stretching
the truth just a little bit.
368
00:17:13,966 --> 00:17:16,056
Yeah, but in my line of work,
369
00:17:16,099 --> 00:17:18,232
we don't stretch the truth.
We honor it.
370
00:17:19,755 --> 00:17:22,497
And the people
that do stretch the truth,
371
00:17:22,540 --> 00:17:24,716
we charge them with perjury.
372
00:17:26,849 --> 00:17:28,807
No. I know that.
373
00:17:29,808 --> 00:17:31,854
It's just...
374
00:17:33,073 --> 00:17:36,206
I'm just trying
to keep the kid out of jail.
375
00:17:36,250 --> 00:17:38,556
I know you are.
376
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,124
But I got to tell you,
the best way to do that is
377
00:17:41,168 --> 00:17:43,474
to sit him down and convince him
378
00:17:43,518 --> 00:17:45,520
to give up the names
of whoever it is
379
00:17:45,563 --> 00:17:47,522
that's running this operation.
380
00:17:55,356 --> 00:17:57,009
That guy that was just here.
381
00:17:57,053 --> 00:17:58,750
Anna's boyfriend?
382
00:17:58,794 --> 00:18:00,361
Our client.
383
00:18:00,404 --> 00:18:01,884
Or at least the man paying
our client's bills.
384
00:18:01,927 --> 00:18:03,407
Do me a favor.
385
00:18:03,451 --> 00:18:05,670
Find out everything
that you can about him.
386
00:18:06,932 --> 00:18:08,412
You're asking me
to do a deep dive
387
00:18:08,456 --> 00:18:09,935
on your daughter's boyfriend?
388
00:18:09,979 --> 00:18:11,589
I mean, no judgment,
I'm just saying
389
00:18:11,633 --> 00:18:13,025
that's probably not a cool move,
390
00:18:13,069 --> 00:18:14,288
-father-daughter wise.
-He's a client.
391
00:18:14,331 --> 00:18:15,724
A customer.
392
00:18:15,767 --> 00:18:17,595
And I need to know
who I'm working for.
393
00:18:17,639 --> 00:18:20,076
Okay, well,
say I do find something...
394
00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:22,078
concerning about him. What then?
395
00:18:22,122 --> 00:18:24,167
Are you willing to admit
to your daughter
396
00:18:24,211 --> 00:18:25,908
you asked me to snoop
on her boyfriend?
397
00:18:30,130 --> 00:18:33,089
Look, there are a lot of things
that I'm not comfortable with.
398
00:18:33,133 --> 00:18:34,830
For starters,
why is he so anxious
399
00:18:34,873 --> 00:18:37,093
to spend all of this money
defending a kid
400
00:18:37,137 --> 00:18:39,356
that he teaches
one afternoon a week?
401
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,923
The man just came in here
and offered
402
00:18:40,966 --> 00:18:42,620
to perjure himself in court.
403
00:18:42,664 --> 00:18:44,883
Now maybe he's got
more skin in the game
404
00:18:44,927 --> 00:18:46,798
than the welfare
of a 14-year-old boy
405
00:18:46,842 --> 00:18:48,496
he barely knows.
406
00:18:48,539 --> 00:18:51,151
What are you saying?
Are you saying you think
407
00:18:51,194 --> 00:18:53,675
Brooks is involved
with these car thefts?
408
00:18:53,718 --> 00:18:55,459
I'm saying I need you
to find out
409
00:18:55,503 --> 00:18:57,331
everything that you can
about him.
410
00:18:57,374 --> 00:18:59,463
And I would be grateful
if you kept it
411
00:18:59,507 --> 00:19:01,900
between the two of us.
412
00:19:18,874 --> 00:19:21,616
Rachel, you're a lifesaver.
413
00:19:21,659 --> 00:19:23,792
That's crazy.
414
00:19:23,835 --> 00:19:25,750
Like I told you the last time,
415
00:19:25,794 --> 00:19:27,970
I love your little boy.
416
00:19:28,013 --> 00:19:30,233
Plus you keep all of the cool
food that little boys
417
00:19:30,277 --> 00:19:31,930
and 20-something ladies
love to eat
418
00:19:31,974 --> 00:19:34,977
that your ex-husband refuses
to keep in the apartment.
419
00:19:35,020 --> 00:19:37,284
I mean,
peanut butter for dinner.
420
00:19:37,327 --> 00:19:39,808
You had me at hello.
421
00:19:40,330 --> 00:19:42,898
And you're gonna let me
pay you, right?
422
00:19:42,941 --> 00:19:44,769
You said that on the phone.
423
00:19:45,988 --> 00:19:47,859
If that's what I said.
424
00:19:47,903 --> 00:19:50,035
On one condition.
425
00:19:50,079 --> 00:19:52,777
Come over here
and give me a hug.
426
00:20:02,657 --> 00:20:04,789
What you do is so hard.
427
00:20:04,833 --> 00:20:07,314
What you do is
so amazing.
428
00:20:07,357 --> 00:20:10,491
And that little boy,
whatever you're doing,
429
00:20:10,534 --> 00:20:12,580
you're doing it perfectly.
430
00:20:14,930 --> 00:20:17,628
But to get paid
to spend time with him?
431
00:20:17,672 --> 00:20:19,717
That just seems wrong.
432
00:20:19,761 --> 00:20:22,851
And to take money from you...
433
00:20:22,894 --> 00:20:25,201
I don't know, I, um,
434
00:20:25,245 --> 00:20:27,029
I know it sounds stupid, but I
keep trying to convince myself
435
00:20:27,072 --> 00:20:28,813
that we're friends, you and I.
436
00:20:32,208 --> 00:20:34,732
Uh, I guess that's
crazy, isn't it?
437
00:20:34,776 --> 00:20:36,865
No. We are friends.
438
00:20:36,908 --> 00:20:38,780
We really are.
439
00:20:38,823 --> 00:20:40,608
I mean...
440
00:20:40,651 --> 00:20:42,871
you came through for me tonight.
441
00:20:42,914 --> 00:20:45,700
I mean, if you had said no...
442
00:20:48,790 --> 00:20:51,096
If you really don't
want the money...
443
00:20:54,361 --> 00:20:56,841
I owe you, Rachel.
444
00:20:57,712 --> 00:21:00,105
I owe you. And yes.
445
00:21:00,149 --> 00:21:02,630
You are my friend.
446
00:21:02,673 --> 00:21:05,415
And now it's up to me
to start being yours.
447
00:21:10,899 --> 00:21:13,293
Tell that little Mauricio
448
00:21:13,336 --> 00:21:15,556
thanks for remembering
my number.
449
00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:20,212
And, uh, you and I...
450
00:21:20,256 --> 00:21:21,562
we'll talk soon, I guess?
451
00:21:21,605 --> 00:21:23,868
Sure.
452
00:21:23,912 --> 00:21:25,305
That's what friends do.
453
00:21:31,223 --> 00:21:32,660
Uh, it took me a minute
454
00:21:32,703 --> 00:21:33,878
to understand
what was happening,
455
00:21:33,922 --> 00:21:37,404
but then I saw the defendant...
456
00:21:37,447 --> 00:21:39,754
uh, just
standing outside
457
00:21:39,797 --> 00:21:41,625
my car with his hammer.
458
00:21:41,669 --> 00:21:43,801
And did he say anything?
459
00:21:43,845 --> 00:21:47,109
Well, yeah.
He ordered me out of the car.
460
00:21:47,152 --> 00:21:48,980
Said if I didn't do
what he said,
461
00:21:49,024 --> 00:21:50,895
he was gonna use
his hammer on me.
462
00:21:50,939 --> 00:21:53,768
And did you get out?
463
00:21:53,811 --> 00:21:56,553
Oh, of course I did. But, um, I
guess I didn't move fast enough,
464
00:21:56,597 --> 00:21:59,164
because he came after me
with it anyway.
465
00:21:59,208 --> 00:22:00,557
None of that's true.
466
00:22:00,601 --> 00:22:02,124
He came after me first.
467
00:22:02,167 --> 00:22:04,779
Don't worry.
We're gonna get our turn.
468
00:22:04,822 --> 00:22:07,129
...came after you
with a hammer,
469
00:22:07,172 --> 00:22:09,131
did he actually strike you?
470
00:22:09,174 --> 00:22:11,960
Oh, yeah.
He struck me repeatedly.
471
00:22:12,003 --> 00:22:15,311
And that's when his partner
made off with the car.
472
00:22:17,618 --> 00:22:21,535
Thank you, Mr. Shoemaker.
473
00:22:21,578 --> 00:22:23,406
No more questions, Your Honor.
474
00:22:23,450 --> 00:22:25,843
Your witness, Mr. Palmer.
475
00:22:30,326 --> 00:22:31,588
Mr. Shoemaker,
476
00:22:31,632 --> 00:22:33,416
any idea how many
alcoholic beverages
477
00:22:33,460 --> 00:22:35,462
you consumed that evening?
478
00:22:35,505 --> 00:22:37,377
No. Not exactly.
479
00:22:37,420 --> 00:22:39,640
But, uh, too many, obviously,
480
00:22:39,683 --> 00:22:42,817
or I would not have been
passed out in the car.
481
00:22:42,860 --> 00:22:45,036
It's fair to say that you were
extremely intoxicated
482
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,821
that night, isn't it?
483
00:22:46,864 --> 00:22:48,953
Yes. That's fair to say.
484
00:22:48,997 --> 00:22:52,130
When a person is so intoxicated
485
00:22:52,174 --> 00:22:56,308
as to be rendered unconscious,
isn't it reasonable to assume
486
00:22:56,352 --> 00:22:59,224
that his memory might be
a little foggy?
487
00:22:59,268 --> 00:23:01,313
No, I don't think so.
488
00:23:01,357 --> 00:23:03,011
I mean, I may have
started out drunk,
489
00:23:03,054 --> 00:23:04,926
but waking up to your car window
being smashed in
490
00:23:04,969 --> 00:23:06,623
when you're laying there,
you know,
491
00:23:06,667 --> 00:23:08,582
tends to sober a guy up
pretty quickly.
492
00:23:08,625 --> 00:23:11,106
Out of curiosity,
how tall are you?
493
00:23:11,149 --> 00:23:15,893
Uh... last time I checked,
about six-two.
494
00:23:15,937 --> 00:23:17,852
And how much do you weigh?
495
00:23:17,895 --> 00:23:20,855
I don't know, uh,
200 pounds or so.
496
00:23:20,898 --> 00:23:22,944
Your Honor,
with your permission,
497
00:23:22,987 --> 00:23:24,946
I would like to ask
my client to stand.
498
00:23:24,989 --> 00:23:26,556
Permission granted.
499
00:23:29,733 --> 00:23:32,910
Mr. Shoemaker,
if you had to guess, how tall
500
00:23:32,954 --> 00:23:35,260
would you say
that Callum Hartwell is?
501
00:23:36,784 --> 00:23:40,091
I'd say maybe five-foot-four,
five-five.
502
00:23:40,135 --> 00:23:41,919
And how much do you think
he weighs?
503
00:23:41,963 --> 00:23:46,010
I don't know,
120 pounds or thereabouts?
504
00:23:46,054 --> 00:23:49,536
Good 70 or 80 pounds
lighter than you.
505
00:23:49,579 --> 00:23:50,928
Yes, I guess so.
506
00:23:50,972 --> 00:23:52,887
You can sit down now, Callum.
507
00:23:52,930 --> 00:23:56,281
Now, Mr. Shoemaker,
when you regained consciousness
508
00:23:56,325 --> 00:23:58,588
and you realized that someone
was trying to steal
509
00:23:58,632 --> 00:24:00,764
your Range Rover,
that made you...
510
00:24:00,808 --> 00:24:02,505
angry, didn't it?
511
00:24:02,549 --> 00:24:06,944
Upset, uh, scared, angry.
512
00:24:06,988 --> 00:24:08,555
I was a lot of things.
513
00:24:08,598 --> 00:24:10,774
Okay, so let's review.
514
00:24:10,818 --> 00:24:14,212
You were angry, you were drunk,
515
00:24:14,256 --> 00:24:16,911
and you were almost
twice the size
516
00:24:16,954 --> 00:24:19,174
of the person that you claim
to be in fear of.
517
00:24:19,217 --> 00:24:22,220
Now, given the disparity
in your sizes,
518
00:24:22,264 --> 00:24:28,052
doesn't common sense suggest
that he had far more reason
519
00:24:28,096 --> 00:24:30,925
to feel threatened than you did?
520
00:24:30,968 --> 00:24:33,797
I was just s-sitting...
521
00:24:33,841 --> 00:24:36,713
laying there,
minding my own business.
522
00:24:36,757 --> 00:24:39,455
He's the one who came after me
with a hammer.
523
00:24:39,499 --> 00:24:44,112
Yes, yes, we heard you
testify-- and I quote--
524
00:24:44,155 --> 00:24:48,943
"Oh, yeah, he hit me repeatedly
with that hammer."
525
00:24:48,986 --> 00:24:52,816
Now, let me ask
you a question.
526
00:24:52,860 --> 00:24:57,560
If he repeatedly struck you
with a hammer,
527
00:24:57,604 --> 00:24:59,867
where are your injuries?
528
00:24:59,910 --> 00:25:02,870
Hmm? Where are your bruises?
529
00:25:04,175 --> 00:25:06,090
Go get him, Chunk.
My client
530
00:25:06,134 --> 00:25:08,571
wasn't struck with a hammer.
531
00:25:08,615 --> 00:25:11,922
He was struck with your fist,
and yet,
532
00:25:11,966 --> 00:25:13,881
he's severely bruised
533
00:25:13,924 --> 00:25:17,537
and his shoulder
was dislocated.
534
00:25:19,887 --> 00:25:23,020
I'm sorry, I didn't hear
an answer, Mr. Shoemaker.
535
00:25:23,064 --> 00:25:24,718
I don't know.
536
00:25:24,761 --> 00:25:26,894
Maybe he didn't
actually hit me that hard.
537
00:25:26,937 --> 00:25:28,939
Aha.
538
00:25:28,983 --> 00:25:32,160
"Maybe he didn't actually
hit me that hard."
539
00:25:32,203 --> 00:25:34,292
Or maybe you were
540
00:25:34,336 --> 00:25:37,600
just too drunk to remember
whether he even hit you at all.
541
00:25:37,644 --> 00:25:40,864
I mean, how can we
be expected to trust
542
00:25:40,908 --> 00:25:44,302
the memory of a man
who was so drunk
543
00:25:44,346 --> 00:25:46,304
that he passed out
in his own driveway?
544
00:25:46,348 --> 00:25:47,958
I mean, it's a miracle
545
00:25:48,002 --> 00:25:51,092
that you didn't kill
somebody on your way home.
546
00:25:51,135 --> 00:25:53,355
Objection. Inflammatory.
547
00:25:53,398 --> 00:25:55,009
Counsel is testifying.
548
00:25:55,052 --> 00:25:56,576
Sustained.
549
00:25:56,619 --> 00:26:00,188
The jury will disregard
that last statement.
550
00:26:00,231 --> 00:26:02,277
Let's play nice, Mr. Palmer.
551
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:03,757
Yes, Your Honor.
552
00:26:05,976 --> 00:26:09,327
My point is, isn't it possible
553
00:26:09,371 --> 00:26:11,982
that in your state
of, uh, inebriation,
554
00:26:12,026 --> 00:26:15,203
in the fog of anger,
555
00:26:15,246 --> 00:26:17,379
that you went
after Callum first,
556
00:26:17,422 --> 00:26:19,990
and-and since he
was so much smaller,
557
00:26:20,034 --> 00:26:22,253
so much lighter,
558
00:26:22,297 --> 00:26:24,647
that he was simply forced
into fighting you off
559
00:26:24,691 --> 00:26:28,782
with that hammer, which he has
freely admitted to doing?
560
00:26:28,825 --> 00:26:30,348
Look, I don't know
what to tell you,
561
00:26:30,392 --> 00:26:32,437
but that's not what happened.
562
00:26:32,481 --> 00:26:35,527
And, you know,
what you said before,
563
00:26:35,571 --> 00:26:38,487
about m-me maybe killing
somebody on the drive home,
564
00:26:38,530 --> 00:26:39,967
that didn't happen either.
565
00:26:40,010 --> 00:26:42,056
Mr. Shoemaker,
I've already instructed the jury
566
00:26:42,099 --> 00:26:43,492
to disregard that statement.
567
00:26:43,535 --> 00:26:45,320
Yes, I know,
Your Honor, but...
568
00:26:45,363 --> 00:26:47,496
I'd just like to set
the record straight.
569
00:26:47,539 --> 00:26:49,280
All right, I don't want
these people thinking
570
00:26:49,324 --> 00:26:51,152
that that's the kind
of person I am.
571
00:26:51,195 --> 00:26:53,937
I had a few drinks
at a bar.
572
00:26:53,981 --> 00:26:55,678
Okay? But like this man
keeps trying to point out,
573
00:26:55,722 --> 00:26:57,593
I'm a big guy.
574
00:26:57,637 --> 00:26:59,987
It takes more than a few drinks
before I even feel anything.
575
00:27:00,030 --> 00:27:02,685
I was perfectly fine
driving home.
576
00:27:02,729 --> 00:27:07,472
Look, the reason I was
passed out in my car...
577
00:27:09,692 --> 00:27:11,999
...I bought a bottle of whiskey
on the way home,
578
00:27:12,042 --> 00:27:16,177
but I didn't open it until
I was safely in my driveway.
579
00:27:16,220 --> 00:27:17,874
That's the truth.
580
00:27:17,918 --> 00:27:20,877
That's a pretty strange choice.
581
00:27:20,921 --> 00:27:24,925
Mr. Shoemaker, why would you
drink a bottle of whiskey
582
00:27:24,968 --> 00:27:29,407
in your car when your house
is 15 feet away?
583
00:27:31,801 --> 00:27:34,195
Mr. Shoemaker?
584
00:27:38,416 --> 00:27:41,028
Because my wife was inside.
585
00:27:43,030 --> 00:27:45,685
Packing her things.
586
00:27:48,949 --> 00:27:52,779
We were supposed to have flown
to Hawaii that day.
587
00:27:54,824 --> 00:27:58,001
But when I woke up that morning,
588
00:27:58,045 --> 00:28:00,438
she was already dressed.
589
00:28:03,311 --> 00:28:05,835
And she told me
that she was leaving me.
590
00:28:10,013 --> 00:28:12,581
Met some guy on the Internet.
591
00:28:20,502 --> 00:28:22,417
I have no further questions,
Your Honor.
592
00:28:28,379 --> 00:28:30,294
-There he is, Chester
Palmer, attorney at law,
593
00:28:30,338 --> 00:28:32,470
eating... cottage cheese?
594
00:28:32,514 --> 00:28:34,559
I don't know if you've heard,
but I'm getting my ass kicked
595
00:28:34,603 --> 00:28:37,214
in court, so I figured,
if I lose a little weight,
596
00:28:37,258 --> 00:28:39,390
I have a little less ass
to kick.
597
00:28:39,434 --> 00:28:41,044
You care for a curd?
598
00:28:41,088 --> 00:28:43,090
No, thank you.
I came to talk business.
599
00:28:43,133 --> 00:28:44,613
I was thinking about
600
00:28:44,656 --> 00:28:46,789
the supposed victim's testimony
yesterday.
601
00:28:46,833 --> 00:28:48,878
Yeah. You and me both.
602
00:28:48,922 --> 00:28:50,227
Do you remember the part
where he said he was supposed
603
00:28:50,271 --> 00:28:51,794
to be out of town that night?
604
00:28:51,838 --> 00:28:53,361
That he was supposed
to have gone to Hawaii?
605
00:28:53,404 --> 00:28:56,146
-Yeah.
-Well, I had Danny
check with the police,
606
00:28:56,190 --> 00:28:58,148
and it turns out
that almost all of the people
607
00:28:58,192 --> 00:28:59,889
whose high-end cars
were stolen were out of town
608
00:28:59,933 --> 00:29:01,325
the night of the theft.
609
00:29:02,413 --> 00:29:04,154
It just seems like
maybe the ringleader
610
00:29:04,198 --> 00:29:06,504
had some way of knowing
when people were gonna be away.
611
00:29:06,548 --> 00:29:07,941
I mean, maybe we're looking
for someone
612
00:29:07,984 --> 00:29:10,595
who works for a security
company, or the mailman.
613
00:29:10,639 --> 00:29:12,162
Do you mind if I have Danny
keep digging?
614
00:29:12,206 --> 00:29:13,555
No. Dig away.
615
00:29:13,598 --> 00:29:15,339
Oh, and, uh, Bull
wanted me to let you know
616
00:29:15,383 --> 00:29:18,168
that he will be in after lunch.
617
00:29:18,212 --> 00:29:19,909
And what are you looking at?
618
00:29:19,953 --> 00:29:21,998
It's a copy of one
of Callum's notebooks.
619
00:29:23,870 --> 00:29:25,523
He's got all kinds
of stuff in here.
620
00:29:25,567 --> 00:29:28,135
It's, uh, schoolwork,
uh, drawings.
621
00:29:28,178 --> 00:29:29,919
Uh...
622
00:29:29,963 --> 00:29:31,616
ideas for short stories. Poetry.
623
00:29:31,660 --> 00:29:33,444
Poetry?
624
00:29:33,488 --> 00:29:36,186
Oh, yeah. All kinds of poetry
about all kinds of things.
625
00:29:36,230 --> 00:29:39,189
But most of it is about
this girl Vanessa.
626
00:29:39,233 --> 00:29:42,758
Vanessa. You think he's in love?
627
00:29:42,802 --> 00:29:44,978
14-year-old love? Yeah.
628
00:29:45,021 --> 00:29:47,023
I'd say he's got
a full-blown case.
629
00:29:47,067 --> 00:29:49,286
I remember what it was like
to be 14 and in love.
630
00:29:50,374 --> 00:29:52,942
Wait, here's
a crazy idea.
631
00:29:52,986 --> 00:29:54,422
I know that
we have got his father
632
00:29:54,465 --> 00:29:55,815
and your daughter's
boyfriend trying
633
00:29:55,858 --> 00:29:57,729
to convince him
to talk to the D.A.
634
00:29:57,773 --> 00:30:00,645
Why don't you try and get
this Vanessa to talk to him?
635
00:30:00,689 --> 00:30:03,518
Excuse me? I don't know
who this Vanessa is.
636
00:30:03,561 --> 00:30:05,215
I don't even know
if she's a real person.
637
00:30:05,259 --> 00:30:07,000
And how hard
can that be to find out?
638
00:30:07,043 --> 00:30:09,132
How many Vanessas
can there be in his school?
639
00:30:10,525 --> 00:30:11,656
So, did you call
640
00:30:11,700 --> 00:30:13,310
your daughter's
boyfriend?
641
00:30:13,354 --> 00:30:14,921
Is he having any luck?
642
00:30:14,964 --> 00:30:17,575
No. Actually,
I haven't spoken to him,
643
00:30:17,619 --> 00:30:19,055
nor has he reached out to me.
644
00:30:19,099 --> 00:30:22,015
The last time
that we had a conversation
645
00:30:22,058 --> 00:30:23,451
about this matter,
it was a little...
646
00:30:25,409 --> 00:30:27,368
Never mind.
I'll-I'll call him today.
647
00:30:27,411 --> 00:30:29,370
Could you, would you?
He's only paying the bills.
648
00:30:29,413 --> 00:30:31,024
Where are we with the Vanessas?
649
00:30:31,067 --> 00:30:34,418
Uh, turns out there are three
in Callum's grade.
650
00:30:34,462 --> 00:30:36,899
Danny's out tracking them down
as we speak.
651
00:30:36,943 --> 00:30:39,597
Excellent.
652
00:30:39,641 --> 00:30:41,295
What day is today?
653
00:30:41,338 --> 00:30:43,253
I was up all night
with my favorite little client.
654
00:30:43,297 --> 00:30:46,256
She's teething. I need coffee.
655
00:30:48,650 --> 00:30:52,045
I guess we're done here.
656
00:30:52,088 --> 00:30:53,307
Mm-hmm.
657
00:30:55,962 --> 00:30:59,922
Since it's just us, thought
you might want to see this.
658
00:30:59,966 --> 00:31:02,098
-What's this?
-It's a bank statement.
659
00:31:02,142 --> 00:31:04,274
It's from your daughter's
boyfriend's account.
660
00:31:04,318 --> 00:31:05,449
Okay.
661
00:31:05,493 --> 00:31:06,929
See all those deposits?
662
00:31:06,973 --> 00:31:09,062
Notice how they're all
just under $10,000?
663
00:31:10,890 --> 00:31:14,110
$8,700, $9,167?
664
00:31:14,154 --> 00:31:17,200
When you deposit $10,000
or more in a bank account,
665
00:31:17,244 --> 00:31:20,290
the bank is required by law
to report it to the IRS.
666
00:31:20,334 --> 00:31:22,510
A lot of times what people
who don't want the government
667
00:31:22,553 --> 00:31:25,295
to know what they have
and where it came from will do
668
00:31:25,339 --> 00:31:27,515
is deposit just shy
of the $10,000 limit
669
00:31:27,558 --> 00:31:29,256
to keep the money
and its movement
670
00:31:29,299 --> 00:31:31,127
just under the radar.
671
00:31:31,171 --> 00:31:32,868
And that's what you think
Brooks is doing?
672
00:31:32,912 --> 00:31:34,652
I know that's what
Brooks is doing.
673
00:31:34,696 --> 00:31:36,480
I just don't know
why Brooks is doing it.
674
00:31:36,524 --> 00:31:40,267
And I also don't know how a guy
who writes for magazines
675
00:31:40,310 --> 00:31:42,965
and websites creates
an income stream for himself
676
00:31:43,009 --> 00:31:46,534
where he's making $8,000
and $9,000 deposits,
677
00:31:46,577 --> 00:31:48,797
but I'll keep digging.
678
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,190
Thanks.
679
00:31:56,457 --> 00:31:58,111
Hey, it's Anna.
When you hear the beep,
680
00:31:58,154 --> 00:31:59,547
just start to speak.
681
00:31:59,590 --> 00:32:01,984
Hey, Princess. Dad here.
682
00:32:02,028 --> 00:32:04,987
Listen, I'm having some trouble
reaching Brooks.
683
00:32:05,031 --> 00:32:06,641
I-I tried all his numbers,
and...
684
00:32:06,684 --> 00:32:09,383
I didn't get nothing
but his voice mail.
685
00:32:09,426 --> 00:32:11,733
Kind of like what happens
when I call you. Ha!
686
00:32:11,776 --> 00:32:14,692
Anyway, really curious to see
if he's made any progress
687
00:32:14,736 --> 00:32:16,259
talking with Callum.
688
00:32:16,303 --> 00:32:19,088
Would you please have him
give me a call?
689
00:32:21,177 --> 00:32:24,485
Also, uh,
when you have a chance,
690
00:32:24,528 --> 00:32:26,487
I'd love to have
a private conversation
691
00:32:26,530 --> 00:32:28,097
with you about Brooks.
692
00:32:28,141 --> 00:32:31,492
I want to share with you
some thoughts, some impressions.
693
00:32:31,535 --> 00:32:33,842
I know you may not want
to hear 'em,
694
00:32:33,885 --> 00:32:35,670
but, hey,
that's the price you pay
695
00:32:35,713 --> 00:32:37,541
for introducing
the new man in your life
696
00:32:37,585 --> 00:32:39,239
to the first man in your life.
697
00:32:39,282 --> 00:32:41,023
All right? I love you.
698
00:32:41,067 --> 00:32:43,069
Talk to you later. Bye.
699
00:32:50,076 --> 00:32:51,294
No one's home.
700
00:32:51,338 --> 00:32:52,992
Hmm. Well, you're home.
701
00:32:53,035 --> 00:32:55,298
And you just may be
the person I'm looking for.
702
00:32:55,342 --> 00:32:57,257
Are you Vanessa Phillips?
703
00:32:57,300 --> 00:32:58,432
Maybe.
704
00:32:58,475 --> 00:33:00,086
Why? Who are you?
705
00:33:00,129 --> 00:33:02,349
My name's Danny James.
I'm an investigator,
706
00:33:02,392 --> 00:33:05,700
and I'm trying to help
somebody that you might know.
707
00:33:05,743 --> 00:33:07,876
You're friends
with Callum Hartwell, right?
708
00:33:07,919 --> 00:33:09,965
He goes to your school.
709
00:33:10,009 --> 00:33:14,230
Why? Did Callum say something
about me or something?
710
00:33:14,274 --> 00:33:15,536
No. Not that I'm aware of.
711
00:33:15,579 --> 00:33:17,538
But like I said,
I'm an investigator,
712
00:33:17,581 --> 00:33:19,105
and I'm trying to help Callum.
713
00:33:19,148 --> 00:33:21,150
And one of the ways
I'm doing that
714
00:33:21,194 --> 00:33:23,065
is speaking
to everyone he knows.
715
00:33:23,109 --> 00:33:25,111
Or everyone he might know.
716
00:33:25,154 --> 00:33:28,201
You do know him,
don't you?
717
00:33:28,244 --> 00:33:30,507
It's okay. I can
tell that you do.
718
00:33:30,551 --> 00:33:33,380
Did he ever talk to you
about stealing nice cars?
719
00:33:33,423 --> 00:33:35,556
Expensive cars?
720
00:33:37,645 --> 00:33:39,734
You know that he likes you,
right?
721
00:33:39,777 --> 00:33:42,302
And you like him?
722
00:33:42,345 --> 00:33:45,392
Well, if I'm not able
to get some answers,
723
00:33:45,435 --> 00:33:49,831
if I'm not able to help
keep him out of trouble...
724
00:33:49,874 --> 00:33:52,094
they're not gonna let him go
to school anymore.
725
00:33:52,138 --> 00:33:53,835
They're not gonna let him
live here.
726
00:33:53,878 --> 00:33:55,837
And they're gonna put him
in jail,
727
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,579
and they're gonna keep him there
for a really, really long time.
728
00:34:07,370 --> 00:34:09,024
Need something?
729
00:34:10,808 --> 00:34:12,767
Um, no, I was just
speaking with Vanessa.
730
00:34:12,810 --> 00:34:13,942
You're talking to my sister?
731
00:34:13,985 --> 00:34:15,813
Why?
732
00:34:15,857 --> 00:34:19,208
She's just collecting
for charity.
733
00:34:19,252 --> 00:34:21,689
I told her we
have no money.
734
00:34:24,822 --> 00:34:27,086
I need you to go.
735
00:34:27,129 --> 00:34:29,131
Yeah, you got it.
736
00:34:29,175 --> 00:34:30,654
Bye, Vanessa.
737
00:34:37,008 --> 00:34:38,575
Marissa? It's Danny.
738
00:34:38,619 --> 00:34:40,142
I found our girl.
739
00:34:40,186 --> 00:34:42,057
I think I may have also found
our ringleader.
740
00:34:47,323 --> 00:34:49,282
Here's what we know, Callum.
We're about to walk into court
741
00:34:49,325 --> 00:34:51,458
and present our case, except
we don't have a case to present.
742
00:34:51,501 --> 00:34:53,155
We can't put you
on the stand,
743
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:55,026
we don't have any witnesses
to support your story,
744
00:34:55,070 --> 00:34:58,247
and the district attorney's
745
00:34:58,291 --> 00:35:00,771
if you are willing
to name the people
746
00:35:00,815 --> 00:35:03,600
that participated
in this with you...
747
00:35:03,644 --> 00:35:05,776
I don't have...
748
00:35:05,820 --> 00:35:07,604
any names.
749
00:35:08,605 --> 00:35:10,346
Yes, you do.
750
00:35:10,390 --> 00:35:13,001
And I have one.
751
00:35:13,044 --> 00:35:14,524
Vanessa Phillips.
752
00:35:14,568 --> 00:35:18,528
I don't know
a-a Vanessa Phillips.
753
00:35:18,572 --> 00:35:20,661
Yes, you do, Callum.
754
00:35:20,704 --> 00:35:24,230
And we're guessing
that it's Vanessa
755
00:35:24,273 --> 00:35:27,755
that roped you into this whole
car theft ring to begin with.
756
00:35:27,798 --> 00:35:29,757
Her and her brother Victor.
757
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,802
That's right, we know
about her brother Victor.
758
00:35:31,846 --> 00:35:33,587
We know
about the dog kennel.
759
00:35:33,630 --> 00:35:35,154
We know
about Mr. Shoemaker,
760
00:35:35,197 --> 00:35:37,199
how he boarded his dog
at that kennel
761
00:35:37,243 --> 00:35:39,027
in anticipation
of his trip to Hawaii,
762
00:35:39,070 --> 00:35:41,072
which is why Victor thought
it would be safe
763
00:35:41,116 --> 00:35:42,639
to steal his car that night.
764
00:35:42,683 --> 00:35:44,989
We also know
765
00:35:45,033 --> 00:35:46,948
four other car theft victims
who had their dogs boarded
766
00:35:46,991 --> 00:35:50,778
at Victor's kennel the nights
their cars were stolen.
767
00:35:52,780 --> 00:35:54,260
Please, Callum.
768
00:35:54,303 --> 00:35:55,739
This is crazy!
769
00:35:55,783 --> 00:35:57,741
You're throwing
your life away!
770
00:35:57,785 --> 00:35:59,395
Just so we're clear
about who you're protecting,
771
00:35:59,439 --> 00:36:01,223
Vanessa's brother Victor,
772
00:36:01,267 --> 00:36:03,225
he never does
the dirty work himself.
773
00:36:03,269 --> 00:36:05,140
That's why he's never
been caught by the police.
774
00:36:05,184 --> 00:36:06,489
-Instead,
775
00:36:06,533 --> 00:36:08,622
he recruits young kids
just like you
776
00:36:08,665 --> 00:36:11,320
and always makes sure that he's
working a shift at the kennel
777
00:36:11,364 --> 00:36:13,017
when the cars are stolen.
778
00:36:13,061 --> 00:36:14,628
Shoemaker said your
accomplice that night
779
00:36:14,671 --> 00:36:15,846
was smaller than you.
780
00:36:15,890 --> 00:36:17,239
Let me guess.
781
00:36:17,283 --> 00:36:20,329
It was Vanessa
who drove the car away.
782
00:36:20,373 --> 00:36:22,723
I don't know.
Whoever it was, was-was...
783
00:36:22,766 --> 00:36:24,551
well, he... wearing a mask.
784
00:36:24,594 --> 00:36:25,813
Callum,
785
00:36:25,856 --> 00:36:28,076
can I tell you what I think?
786
00:36:29,686 --> 00:36:31,906
I look at you...
787
00:36:31,949 --> 00:36:33,995
and I see me.
788
00:36:34,038 --> 00:36:36,171
Nobody in this room
knows this,
789
00:36:36,215 --> 00:36:38,304
but when I was
a year younger than you,
790
00:36:38,347 --> 00:36:41,263
I got into a lot of trouble.
791
00:36:41,307 --> 00:36:44,571
Me and a bunch of my pals.
792
00:36:44,614 --> 00:36:46,529
Breaking and entering.
793
00:36:46,573 --> 00:36:49,532
We went
to the rich part of town
794
00:36:49,576 --> 00:36:52,753
and broke into
this girl we knew's house.
795
00:36:53,797 --> 00:36:57,105
Took about a week,
but they eventually caught us.
796
00:36:58,149 --> 00:37:00,674
Police told my folks
I would be going
797
00:37:00,717 --> 00:37:03,372
to reform school.
798
00:37:03,416 --> 00:37:05,896
And then the craziest thing
happened, Callum.
799
00:37:07,028 --> 00:37:08,769
The man who owns the house,
800
00:37:08,812 --> 00:37:11,075
the father of this girl,
801
00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:15,166
offered to drop all the charges,
802
00:37:15,210 --> 00:37:17,952
that me and my friends agree
to work for him
803
00:37:17,995 --> 00:37:20,128
over the next three summers.
804
00:37:21,129 --> 00:37:23,610
He kept telling us,
805
00:37:23,653 --> 00:37:25,960
"You were only willing
to throw away your futures
806
00:37:26,003 --> 00:37:29,137
because you didn't know
what your futures held."
807
00:37:31,661 --> 00:37:33,184
Turns out...
808
00:37:33,228 --> 00:37:36,318
this man built
luxury apartment buildings.
809
00:37:37,493 --> 00:37:41,454
Now, legally, we were too young
for him to hire us.
810
00:37:41,497 --> 00:37:43,804
So we worked for free.
811
00:37:43,847 --> 00:37:48,548
But in exchange, he gave each
of us a tenth of one percent
812
00:37:48,591 --> 00:37:52,421
of each building we worked on
over the next three summers.
813
00:37:52,465 --> 00:37:54,467
Yeah. And like I said,
814
00:37:54,510 --> 00:37:57,470
at the time,
it meant nothing-- a tenth
815
00:37:57,513 --> 00:37:59,254
of one percent of nothing.
816
00:38:01,865 --> 00:38:03,998
But over the years, the...
817
00:38:04,041 --> 00:38:07,088
buildings started
to turn in some profit, and...
818
00:38:07,131 --> 00:38:08,350
to this day,
819
00:38:08,394 --> 00:38:10,874
I make money.
820
00:38:10,918 --> 00:38:13,181
I get money
from a man
821
00:38:13,224 --> 00:38:16,967
I worked for 15, 16 years ago.
822
00:38:19,056 --> 00:38:20,449
And...
823
00:38:20,493 --> 00:38:22,669
sometimes, actually,
it's a lot of money.
824
00:38:22,712 --> 00:38:24,801
Which is good.
825
00:38:24,845 --> 00:38:28,370
So, my only point is,
826
00:38:28,414 --> 00:38:31,242
the only reason why I ever
got involved in this for you
827
00:38:31,286 --> 00:38:33,201
is because you...
828
00:38:33,244 --> 00:38:36,465
don't know
what your future holds.
829
00:38:37,945 --> 00:38:39,773
But I do.
830
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,474
You want to throw away
your future today,
831
00:38:45,518 --> 00:38:47,781
you'll never see me again,
Callum.
832
00:38:47,824 --> 00:38:52,002
I have all the time in the world
for people who want to use words
833
00:38:52,046 --> 00:38:55,963
to share pieces of their soul
with others.
834
00:38:56,006 --> 00:38:59,706
But I have no time at all
for a fool.
835
00:39:04,145 --> 00:39:06,887
What do you have to say
to this man?
836
00:39:06,930 --> 00:39:10,151
This man who believes
in you so much.
837
00:39:20,509 --> 00:39:22,729
Can we talk about Vanessa?
838
00:39:27,386 --> 00:39:30,084
She didn't want
to steal cars either.
839
00:39:30,127 --> 00:39:33,914
It was her brother
who made her do it.
840
00:39:33,957 --> 00:39:36,786
That guy's a scary dude.
841
00:39:40,137 --> 00:39:42,401
I'll tell the police everything.
842
00:39:42,444 --> 00:39:45,708
Under one condition.
843
00:39:45,752 --> 00:39:49,364
That you give Vanessa
a deal, too. No jail time.
844
00:39:49,408 --> 00:39:53,455
And they protect her,
same as me.
845
00:40:08,383 --> 00:40:09,558
Yes.
846
00:40:15,521 --> 00:40:18,567
So? Goodnews, huh?
Yeah.
847
00:40:18,611 --> 00:40:20,569
Looks like I recommended
the right lawyer.
848
00:40:20,613 --> 00:40:23,790
Well, I had a lot of help.
849
00:40:24,834 --> 00:40:26,575
-Thanks, Dad.
-No problem.
850
00:40:26,619 --> 00:40:28,011
Thanks for doing this.
851
00:40:28,055 --> 00:40:30,318
Thanks for letting me do it.
852
00:40:30,361 --> 00:40:32,276
So, would now
be a good time
853
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,496
to ask about your thoughts
and impressions?
854
00:40:34,540 --> 00:40:35,845
Hmm?
855
00:40:35,889 --> 00:40:37,325
About Brooks.
856
00:40:37,368 --> 00:40:38,935
Remember the... the voice mail,
857
00:40:38,979 --> 00:40:40,894
about your thoughts
and impressions?
858
00:40:40,937 --> 00:40:43,766
Oh, oh. Of course, yes.
859
00:40:43,810 --> 00:40:48,162
Um, yeah,
my thoughts are...
860
00:40:48,205 --> 00:40:50,164
"Wow, have I got
a smart daughter."
861
00:40:50,207 --> 00:40:53,210
'Cause... look what kind
of guy she picked, right?
862
00:40:53,254 --> 00:40:54,951
You're about knee-deep, Dad.
Keep shoveling.
863
00:40:54,995 --> 00:40:56,300
No, I'm sorry.
864
00:40:56,344 --> 00:40:58,738
I'm serious.
My impressions are
865
00:40:58,781 --> 00:41:01,784
that he is
an awfully special guy.
866
00:41:01,828 --> 00:41:06,006
And he's almost good enough
to be with my baby girl.
867
00:41:06,049 --> 00:41:09,488
Almost. So...
868
00:41:14,580 --> 00:41:16,582
Mauricio!
869
00:41:16,625 --> 00:41:18,322
Everybody's waiting
for you!
870
00:41:19,367 --> 00:41:22,152
You're wasting your
whole Saturday morning!
871
00:41:22,196 --> 00:41:23,502
Mm-mm.
872
00:41:23,545 --> 00:41:24,851
Mauricio!
873
00:41:24,894 --> 00:41:26,853
You want me to go see
if I can round him up?
874
00:41:26,896 --> 00:41:29,116
Who am I kidding?
He'll do it for you.
He loves you.
875
00:41:33,381 --> 00:41:35,339
Everybody loves Rachel.
876
00:41:35,383 --> 00:41:37,820
Everybody does love Rachel.
877
00:41:37,864 --> 00:41:40,823
Even I love Rachel.
878
00:41:40,867 --> 00:41:42,825
God, she's...
879
00:41:42,869 --> 00:41:45,132
really special.
880
00:41:58,101 --> 00:42:00,016
Come on, now,
881
00:42:00,060 --> 00:42:03,454
give your fantastic mama a kiss
and let's get out of here.
882
00:42:04,455 --> 00:42:05,718
I'll miss you, Mambo.
883
00:42:05,761 --> 00:42:07,937
I'll miss you,
too, Mauricio.
884
00:42:08,895 --> 00:42:11,245
We are
out of here, team.
885
00:42:12,855 --> 00:42:14,074
Aye, aye,
Captain Grouchy.
886
00:42:14,117 --> 00:42:15,249
Aye, aye,
887
00:42:15,292 --> 00:42:17,164
Captain Grouchy.
