Previously on All Rise.
People in the state of California
versus Carl Brewer.
We, the jury,
find the defendant not guilty.
I saw you. Can I [indistinct]?
Can we just talk about this, please?
I need some time.
- Collier, you look great. - Why haven't you told him
that the divorce papers were signed?
I wanted to make sure you were okay first.
- What do you mean dead? - I should have taken
Collier's call more seriously.
I could have checked on him sooner.
Saw your case on the news this morning.
- Hm? - Is J-Lo really a witness?
She was in the restaurant when the lobster got stolen,
so technically, yes, she could be.
Whoever stole it is getting all the love
on social media for her activism.
I'm going to go get in the shower.
Oh. Can I join you?
I have no time for round two.
That would be round three.
First time didn't count.
Ouch.
- So you got your hearing today? - Yeah.
Look out, Maggie Palmer is the second
best lawyer at arguing motions.
- Who is the first? - You.
Hey, what's going on?
I've never worked on an organ trafficking case before.
It is overwhelming.
It's been two weeks since Collier died.
- Mark, I told you I'm fine. - I know,
- but I'm just saying-- - You know what I was thinking?
We should elope.
Amy, you've been putting off planning our wedding for months,
and now suddenly you want to elope?
Well, I don't have time to plan a wedding right now,
and I really want to be your wife.
What do you think?
- I think I want a wedding. - You?
- Yeah. - Really?
I want a dance party. I want the drunk uncles.
I want all of our friends bawling their eyes out
when we say I do.
I think... I think we deserve that.
Wedding it is.
Maybe I do have time for round two.
I'll be right there.
Hey, Lola. Am I waking you up?
Just walking into my chambers. This early?
With Robin and Bailey in Detroit,
home just doesn't feel like home.
Robinson said.
- Just be patient. - I know.
Why are you up so early?
I think I need your help planning a wedding.
Your wedding?
Are you sure Amy's ready?
She's the one pushing it.
She just asked me--
she just asked me to elope.
And I think it's too soon.
I mean, she needs space to grieve, right?
Everyone deals with grief differently, Mark.
Just be there for her.
As far as the wedding,
maybe start with something simple.
How about cake?
Cake?
...certain for a judge to reconsider
some of the charges against the defendant.
Gabriel Salas, this is Sara Castillo,
our victim's advocate,
and she'll be taking care of you.
- Gabriel. With pleasure. - Sarah.
Mucho gusto. I can just--
Here, take my seat.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
Just please continue. I'll just be catching up.
Mr. Salas, I want to make sure that you--
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
Mr. Salas' kidney was brutally taken from him,
and he just had another surgery.
- We have a hearing in an hour-- - Sorry,
- what do you brutally taken? - Stolen.
Miss Castillo, I thought Callen briefed you.
How was-- How?
I woke up in downtown L.A.
in pain, not knowing where I was.
I saw that I had stitches on my abdomen,
called 911, took me to the hospital,
and that's where they told me that I was...
missing my kidney.
Cops start an investigation.
They caught the traffickers who took his kidney.
And I am prosecuting the man who bought it.
Now, Mr. Salas, I want to make sure
that you understand what's going to happen--
And why did you have another surgery?
I eventually got an infection.
- Oh, God-- - But it's okay.
I'm all good now. I'll-- I'll recover. I'll recover.
Miss Castillo, one second.
Miss Castillo, your job is that of an advocate.
Not of a therapist.
Look, being empathetic is not a flaw.
In one hour, a judge will determine
whether the charges against the defendant are dismissed.
It is my job to prepare Mr. Salas for what is coming.
Bottom line, I have work to do.
This is my meeting too.
Mr. Salas. I'm sorry.
Let's discuss exactly what's going to happen
once you walk in the courtroom.
Your Honor, I filed a 995 motion to dismiss the mayhem
and residential burglary charges.
It is clear from the preliminary hearing transcript
that my client did purchase the kidney.
But he had no idea violence would be used.
He did not target the victim.
And he certainly didn't perform
the extraction of the organ.
I would also like to highlight that
the two traffickers were arrested and charged.
They both confessed to surgically removing
Gabriel Salas' kidney.
Ms. Quinn, you are aware
that whatever is going on in another case is irrelevant?
Yes, Your Honor.
I would just like to add that my client
only had a few months left to live.
Mr. Davis never wished harm on anyone else.
His intention was to simply skip the extensive
transplant waiting list.
People?
Whether the defendant extracted the kidney
or solely purchased it doesn't change the main issue at hand,
which is he contributed to organ trafficking.
Okay.
The motion is granted and the mayhem
and residential burglary charges are dismissed.
However, the charge
for illegally acquiring an organ in violation
of Penal Code Section 367F remains
and the trial will proceed on that charge.
Hey, Em. - Hey.
I was just about to go get my caffeine.
- Thank you. - You sleep better last night?
I don't understand. You're the one who got hurt.
So why am I the one having nightmares?
Because you had to be there for me.
It's okay to be releasing the stress of life.
Luke, I need you to join Emily as co-counsel
in the Blue Lobster case, the defendant, Ann Connelly,
she was cut out of the family.
She can't afford a private attorney.
Carol, you know, um,
Luke is super crazy busy.
Also, the office is overloaded with cases,
so I can just-- I can take this one myself.
Luke has experienced defending animal activists,
and you've proven to make a great team.
Take a look at the case file. I'll just be-- I'll be--
One sec. Hey, Carol. Can I grab you for a sec?
Hey!
You asked me to come back, and all you're kicking me
are death cases and co-counsel.
We're all still recovering from what happened in the courthouse.
Oh, my God. I shouldn't have told you about the nightmares.
- Look, I'm much better. - I don't doubt it.
You're the strongest woman I know.
But in the meantime, it doesn't hurt
to be surrounded by those who love you.
Wow.
Sherri, you want to grab dinner tonight? My treat.
I am actually having dinner with my father tonight.
Right. I forgot your dad was here.
- How is he? - I've been trying
to convince him to go to the doctor,
- but he refuses. So... - Good luck.
Yeah, so no.
Robin hasn't texted since I called Bailey last night.
He's probably busy.
I mean, families can be time consuming.
Believe me, I forgot that, too.
Your Honor, I don't mean to presume,
but should you need a shoulder?
Thank you.
Actually, um...
there is something.
- And you wanted to live? - Of course.
Okay. Well, elaborate on that.
Tell the jury about your reason to live.
I want to see my children graduate college.
I want to grow old with my wife.
We won't deny that you purchased the kidney, Damon.
We will show your motivation for doing so.
- When will I take the stand? - Toward the end.
I want to close with you.
We will hit them with science and facts first.
Your nephrologist will paint a picture
of how messed up our health care system is.
And by the time you speak,
the jury will understand what you had to do.
I feel terrible that the kidney that saved my life
was...
...brutally taken from someone else.
You're lucky to be alive, Damon.
Not everyone gets that chance.
I plan to make sure that you walk free
so that you can live the life that you fought for.
Thank you, Ms. Quinn.
I had no idea the lobster so expensive.
It was a stupid bet with some friends.
It was a bet?
So you weren't trying to save its life
because the media is calling you an activist.
I haven't even talked to the media.
I have never taken anything in my life.
The lobster was up for display.
It seemed harmless.
Okay, well, either way,
the restaurant is putting a ridiculous price on it,
so we need to defend you as if you stole diamonds.
Do you think any of your friends would testify?
Oh, I'm not sure.
Well, we're also going to see text messages
or whatever communication you had with them.
I don't know if we texted about it.
Listen.
I totally understand that you want to protect
your friends, and I get it.
But we have no case if we have no witnesses
to back up your story.
You know what? Why don't you go grab some breakfast, Anna,
and we'll continue this a little bit later, okay?
Okay. Thanks.
What's wrong?
Hey.
So, another dead woman found in the dumpster.
I take it you saw the news.
It can't be a coincidence, Tony
Aha, that is the voice
of obsession I'm hearing, Callen.
Don't tell me you don't see it, too.
It's not about what I see.
So why don't you allow the detectives to collect
more evidence before you jump to any conclusion?
Well, there's not even a suspect yet.
- Delivery for Mark Callen. - Oh, yeah.
hose birthday? - I'm planning my wedding.
You do know you can get samples, right?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Why don't you hire a wedding planner
like everybody else?
I don't want to hire a wedding planner
in case Amy decides to pull the brakes.
Thank you.
That is not something you want to hear
from a groom to be.
Her ex-husband recently passed away
and... she's dealing with it by...
avoiding it completely.
Well, obsessing over Carl Brewer
isn't going to change that.
- Then what will? - Your presence, Mark.
Just be the required presence for her.
Let her face it when she's ready.
You've got correspondents.
Thank you, Sherri.
Oh.
Did anything else come with this postcard?
- No. - Are you sure?
It doesn't have a sender.
Well, I guarantee you the only things
I ever put aside
are intense love letters and potential anthrax.
You might be joking, but I know
that's not too far from the truth.
I'm worried it could be from...
Andre.
Marky Mark, what are you doing tonight?
Okay, so when is your next checkup with your doctor?
Next week. Tuesday.
Oh. All right.
How are you holding up?
I'm-- I'm worried about my daughter.
- You have a daughter? - Yeah. Gina.
Here. Yeah, she's--
- Oh, she's so cute. - She's ten now.
Wow.
Oh, gosh.
This trial must really be affecting her, too.
It's not just that.
Gina's mom and-- and her new boyfriend...
they drink a lot.
Yeah, I'm fighting for custody right now.
I'm just worried that my ex is going to use
all of this against me.
Well, look,
I'm going to make sure that you continue
to receive ongoing medical attention.
There is therapy that's specifically
tailored to organ donors.
And, um, I could see about
getting some counseling for Gina, too.
- Really? - Yeah, absolutely.
Thank you.
I mean, you're welcome.
That would be so good for Gina.
I really appreciate your time.
Thank you so much. Bye bye.
Hey. So I just spoke
with her old high school principal.
Apparently, she was in detention a lot.
How did it go with her parents? Any luck?
You know, they didn't say much.
They said...
"We gave Anna everything she needed.
"Trips, cars, money," but then they cut her off.
Did they say when they cut her off?
Erratic behavior, but they didn't elaborate.
They said they tried to make it work,
but they couldn't turn it around.
- So they don't talk anymore. - All right.
There's a brother we can talk to. I can try.
Yeah? Yeah.
Dr. Barkley, could you please explain, Mr. Davis' journey
- toward getting a transplant? - Certainly.
Mr. Davis had six months left to live
due to end stage renal disease.
The wait list for a kidney transplant was at 250.
And how many transplants from that
waiting list are performed per month?
Two or three.
So, is it fair to say that the waiting list
was longer than Mr. Davis life expectancy?
It is.
It could have ended in tragedy.
No further questions.
Cross examination.
Are you okay?
Could have ended in a tragedy.
What do you mean by that, Dr. Barkley?
I mean, Mr. Davis could have died.
You seem to be really affected by that.
Sounds to me, like, you agree
with organ trafficking practices, do you?
- Objection. Argumentative. - Sustained. Ms. Palmer--
Seeing people die
is part of my job, but that never gets easy.
Gabriel. Are you okay?
- I sold my kidney. - You what?
I sold my kidney.
But-- Okay.
I just got a small installment.
I was meeting with someone downtown at a diner
to let them know that I changed my mind,
that I was no longer interested.
I order coffee, and that's when I got drudged.
Why would you ever do that?
I was terrified of losing Gina.
I thought that I could pay for a good lawyer
to fight for custody.
Gabriel, we have to tell Maggie.
Please, no. Let me be the one to tell Ms. Palmer.
Okay.
Thank you.
So does Gabriel have a job?
He does, but, you know,
constantly switching jobs during the pandemic
just doesn't look good.
I mean, the family court looks at him as someone
- who can't keep a job. - Family court can be brutal.
Why did he lie?
Because if he was backing out,
then that could have been his argument.
Well, he was afraid no one would believe him.
He would lose custody of Gina if he went to prison.
What did Maggie say?
- I haven't told her. - Sarah.
Gabriel asked me to wait.
I mean, it's his story to tell.
You're an angel.
You have a freaking heart of gold.
You do, but you're risking your job
for someone that you just met.
Emily, this man has been though hell.
This is Brady evidence, Sarah, okay?
You are legally obligated to disclose this information.
You need to tell Maggie. Like now.
Okay. You're right. I-- I will tell her.
Good.
We've pushed back far enough already.
Well, I don't think it's that bad.
- If we had... - Maggie.
Maggie!
He's on interrim. Yeah...
And I don't think we're going it.
The client was [indistinct].
- Maggie. - We got it--
All rise, Department 802
of the Superior Court is back in session.
Be seated.
Do we have any housekeeping before we bring in the jury?
Yes, Your Honor.
I would like to admit
some newly discovered evidence.
What is the evidence?
Gabriel Salas is no victim here.
His kidney wasn't taken. He sold it voluntarily.
What an interesting and farfetched theory.
The first instalment payment is proof.
Great.
- Oh, sake. - And sushi.
How did you know I wanted sushi?
I don't know. Also, I thought
maybe we could keep working for a few hours.
Yeah. Cool.
I wasn't able to meet with Anna's brother,
but he is coming by the office tomorrow.
What are you doing?
The moment that Carl Brewer walked free,
there was something in his eyes,
something that made me feel like--
like I had been wrong about him all along.
You think he was actually guilty?
And are those cold cases?
The same signature killing?
It's possible that this man has been doing this for years.
You know what you're saying, right?
I am saying I put a serial killer back out
on the street and now he's killed again.
No.
You cannot feel guilty about this.
You did an incredible job.
The D.A. failed to prove their case
beyond a reasonable doubt.
This-- It's a coincidence.
And you know what?
Even if it isn't,
you are certainly not to blame.
Thank you.
Okay. Let's eat.
Um.
Would you mind if I crash here tonight?
Nightmares?
I'll take the couch. You can take my bed.
Deal. I'm not going to argue with you.
Thanks for getting us this private karaoke room, Mark.
I love Robin, I do.
And I never, ever meant for any of this to happen.
And now I'm worried that he's never going to forgive me.
This is the guilt talking.
You...
- acted on impulse-- - Yeah.
During a life-threatening event.
- And you acknowledge it. - Yeah.
And Robin will forgive you.
But you've got to forgive yourself first.
Now who sounds like Yoda?
Are you sure you really want to get married?
Yeah, I do.
- Aw. - I really do.
I want to have something different
than what Vic had.
You know, I want to build...
the family that I never had.
So... yeah.
Come on, man.
Are we going to karaoke or what?

It's okay. Oh, my God.

[indistinct].
What the hell?
Oh.
Why is your address
on my arm?
Uh, because you insisted on showing it to the Uber driver,
to make sure he knew how to g-- get there.
No, I--
- No, I didn't. - Yeah, you did.
I have video as proof.
You better delete that right now.
No way, man. Bailey needs to see that.
She needs to see how her mama get down.
I will sue you.
Oh, bye.
Yeah, bye.
I know you're going to say I told you so.
But I swear, I tried to tell her.
You should have seen her face
when she dropped the bomb. I feel for Maggie.
You know, she's probably going crazy, re-strategizing.
Hey, Sara.
Oh, good morning, Luke.
Okay. Well, you're probably busy.
I'll let you go. Love you.
Call you later. Goodbye.
"Luke and I, we're just friends--"
Hey, so, um...
I was thinking a little bit.
Mm-hmm?
And, um, I'm really used to taking care of myself.
Like, that is what I do.
But maybe love...
is being vulnerable and...
And letting some-- someone else in.
Yeah. So what are you saying?
So, what I'm saying is, um...
I'm saying...
Luke, do you want to go steady with me?
- Yes. - With me?
Yes.
Do you know if Anna was ever bullied in school?
Mmm. I wouldn't know.
Anna was always acting up.
Your parents call it "erratic behavior."
Yeah, but I don't--
I don't think they knew what was going on.
They didn't know how to deal with it.
My parents were not the most...
patient or attentive.
I was fine doing my own thing.
But Anna did a lot to get their attention.
You mean like fighting in school, cutting class?
Mostly stealing. She would steal things a lot.
And that pissed off my parents.
We had plenty of money.
She only got in a fight once,
because she stole something from another girl,
then refused to go to class, because she was so embarrassed.
So, no, I don't think this was due to bullying.
Anna was always a train wreck.
So good. [indistinct].
Mmm. Gonna get some more.
Great cake, Mark.
Okay, I'm listening.
We are pushing for mental health diversion
for our client.
Ms. Connolly is a kleptomaniac.
We have gone through all of her family,
medical and school history.
It seems like she's been dealing with this disorder
since high school. Exactly.
She lies about stealing out of shame.
She doesn't understand why she does it.
Her family certainly didn't understand it.
Look, you both know that I can't do anything
without an official diagnosis.
We had her evaluated this morning.
We cannot punish her
for an untreated disorder.
She still committed the theft.
I'll think about it and I'll get back to you.
What do you think about that body
turned up in South LA?
Coincidence.
- You? - Yeah.
Yeah. Coincidence.
Fuck! - What?
According to these documents Nestor sent me,
Dr. Barkley had a malpractice suit seven years ago
in which she lost all of her privileges.
When Maggie finds that,
she'll move to exclude Barkley's testimony.
But I don't understand.
How is she doing so well?
She comes to court showing off Cartier,
but she also bought a house in Laurel Canyon
only three years ago.
Do you know something about this?
When I knew I was running out of time
for a kidney transplant
and would most likely die...
Dr. Barkley offered to find a kidney for me.
I thought you said you purchased one
off the black market.
Dr. Barkley is the black market.
She has contacts that do the dirty part of the job.
- She said it usually goes well. - Usually?
So that's how she's making her money.
Trafficking organs.
I put a-- an organ trafficker on the stand
and you said nothing.
I have been fighting for you to walk free.
Look at it however you want to.
She saved my life.
I need you to leave.
Now.
I'm sorry.
My colleague sent these to me.
I knew there was something off about Dr. Barkley.
The two traffickers that were charged are her minions.
They do the organ extractions.
That, along with Damon's confession,
and whatever evidence he can provide,
I mean, we have enough to start.
You want immunity for Davis?
Mr. Salas may have intended to sell his organ,
but he was robbed of his autonomy
when he changed his mind.
Instead of sending one guy to prison,
together, we can take down
an entire organ trafficking ring.
I need your help.
There's a relatively recent law here in California
that allows people with certain mental health conditions
to earn a dismissal of their case
by doing treatment.
- You qualify. - Thank you.
I knew something was wrong with me
and I always felt guilty
for not being able to control it.
Why not seek treatment?
I guess I didn't want a diagnosis.
I was dealing with so much shame,
that I didn't want it to be real.
- Yeah. - Ooh! Ooh!
I have something for you.
Don't worry. I didn't steal it.
This is my hobby.
Oh!
And I would like you to remember me
as the girl who knows how to crochet,
not the girl who steals.
These are so cute.
This is exactly how we will remember you.
Good. Thank you.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Bye.
Ah, 'kay.
Uh, as long as it doesn't interfere with work,
I really don't care.
What do you have for me today, Counsel?
Your Honor, the parties have reached a resolution
that we're hoping the courts will allow.
Can you lay out the terms?
My client deeply regrets his actions,
but we have proof that Dr. Barkley coerced him
to buy the kidney for her own benefit.
She runs an organ trafficking ring.
Dr. Tanya Barkley, your witness?
Mr. Davis and Mr. Salas have agreed to give her up
in exchange for dropping the charges against Mr. Davis.
And for Mr. Salas to not be prosecuted
for initially attempting to sell his organ.
Thank you, counsel. Mr. Salas, please stand.
Are you aware that
the case in which you were the alleged victim
will be dismissed and you will not be entitled
- to restitution? - Yes, Your Honor.
Mr. Davis did not target me personally,
and it's not my place to judge him for his actions.
Okay.
Thank you. Mr. Davis?
Are you aware of the severity of your actions?
I sincerely regret how everything has transpired.
And I-- I'm truly sorry, I--
I'm sorry, Mr. Salas.
Ms. Quinn, while I understand
the parties have reached a resolution,
I am not willing to dismiss this case,
unless Mr. Davis pleas to the charge.
My client agrees to the charge of a misdemeanor.
As a felony.
Mr. Davis can earn the dismissal
by doing community service at the Children's Hospital
three times a week for a full year.
We accept your terms, Your Honor.
Very well.
Dr. Barkley will be prosecuted separately
and an arrest warrant will be out today--
That won't be necessary.
I'm turning myself in.
You have the right to legal representation, Dr. Barkley,
but you do not need to do this right now.
The health care system needs to do a better.
And until that happens, I've been striving to fix it,
saving lives.
Yes, I make money.
But that money enables me
to give free transplants
to those who can't afford to purchase.
So...
while I understand that this is legally wrong...
my heart is at peace.
Did you give Dr. Barkley a heads up?
I owed her at least that.
I hope you live a good, long life, Damon.
You too, Ms. Quinn.
I hope you have the life you dreamed of.
It could be gone in an instant.
I'm sorry for not being honest
with you and Miss Palmer from the beginning.
Again, I have no words to thank you.
Well, I'm-- I'm just so glad it's over.
And now you can focus on getting your daughter back.
Yes, um, can I buy you a cup of coffee sometime?
Please. I owe you.
Oh, um, yeah.
- Yeah, sure. - Great. Uh, I'll be in touch.
- Okay. Bye. - Bye.
You knew.
I-- I did.
Just for, like, a hot second.
And you didn't come forward?
Well, I was going to.
You withheld information from me.
- Okay, let me just clarify-- - Justify, you mean.
I don't forget disloyalty, Miss Castillo.
This case made me feel so lucky, you know?
Lucky that Bailey and Robin are healthy.
Lucky I had good insurance to have a good birth.
Isn't it terrifying that we consider ourselves lucky
when our basic rights
- are being met? - Agreed.
I mean, both the victim and the defendant's actions
were the result of a failure of our system.
Speaking of...
did you convince your dad to go to the doctor?
Henry Park is a stubborn man,
but I will get there.
Park, not Kansky?
I told you my parents were in a mobile home community.
But the truth is...
I grew up on a commune.
Growing up in a commune is...
It's a layered experience.
Getting out was the hardest thing
I've ever had to do.
So I changed my last name...
when I left.
- Who's this? - Anna Kansky.
She's the first female chemist to go to university.
I promised myself
I would do the same.
Become the first woman to leave my commune
and go to college.
It will be all right with your dad.
Thank you.
It will be all right with Robin.
Hey, what is all this?
Samples.
For the wedding.
I thought I was planning the wedding.
You know what I realized?
Guilt is a bully.
Makes us do things we don't want to do
and it makes us punish ourselves.
Guilt told me I was a terrible person
for leaving Collier alone, for...
not being able to love him...
the way I used to.
It told me...
I couldn't have a second wedding, that...
That I didn't deserve you.
But, this case, Damon...
I need to live my life.
And the life that I want is with you.
It's okay to miss him.
He was a...
He was a really good guy.
And I'm so happy
that you have that chapter of your life with him.
We all process grief in different ways.
But I need you to know that you can let it out, okay?
- Please try some. - That looks really delicious.
- But I am so hungover. - Oh!
I am so, so hungover.
Oh. Please don't puke on me.
I think I might.
