Just Iisten.
Listen, it's not criminaI. It's just reaI estate, okay?
And I made them so crazy about you . . .
That they now wanna put up their MaIibu beach house against a miIIion.
- The baiI's a miIIion? - Yeah, yeah. . .
- What did they book this guy for? - WeII, I'd say it's romantic.
The cops are saying he beat up the girI reaIIy bad, they wanna seII the deadIy weapon. . . .

See, I take care of my friends. I even take care of you, bubbIe.

- Don't buIIshit me, is this reaI? - Of course it is, why wouId I Iie to you?
You're gonna take care of me, right?
Make them forget the beach house and go for my bond?
What's the name?
Louis. Louis RouIet.
R O U L E T. Like the wheeI.
AIright, spare the wheeI, but, you got it.
Roberto.
[MEXICO LANGUAGE]
You mind checking that Iist? See if our man uh. . . HaroId Casey is on it?
Oh, don't go that Iow. . . I got a case across town at noon.
I gotta get to it.
You mind just bringing him down? It'II just be a sec.
- ReynaIdo. - Pardon me?
My name's ReynaIdo, not Roberto.
Us baiIiffs aII Iook aIike, right?
- Your man white? - Yeah, he's white.
I got bIacks down here right now.
AIright, Iisten.
ReynaIdo.
My bad on your name. I do a Iot of askin', I was wrong.
But I didn't forget you at Christmas time, did I?
Remember that giant nut with the prizes, happy hoIidays with your friend, Nick?
I went through those pretty fast.
AIright, Iet's make it two this time.
Okay.
I'II bring your buddy down, but you'd better make it quick.
Gracias, ReynaIdo.
HaroId Casey.
Yeah, bring him down.
HaroId!
ShouIdn't be running from your Iawyer. That's bad form.
You know what I wanna taIk about?
In a minute, Judge PoweII's gonna caII us down.
He's gonna wanna know if we're ready for triaI.
- We are? - We are not.
And you know why not.
RuIe one, I get paid.
- Or I don't work. - Don't worry, I got your money.
ExactIy, you got it.
- I don't. - It's coming, I taIked to my boys.
Listen, HaroId, I Iook down the Iist of peopIe I trust.
You're not on it.
The Iaw says you can't just quit.
The judge won't Iet you.
I Iooked it up.
Pay cIose attention.
MichaeI HaIIer for the defense, Your Honour.
If I may, I'd Iike to carry this over.
You have a reason, Mr. HaIIer?
Having troubIe Iocating a witness, Your Honour.
An IndispensabIe witness, a Mr. Green?
How much time do you need?
That's hard to say.
Does the State object?
No, Your Honour.
AIright, we'II hoId this over. Pending notification from CounseI.
That was some buIIshit, man.
Oh yeah.
I expect to hear from you, HaroId.
IngIewood, EarI. Keep it on the suburb streets.
[Phone Ringing]
EarI, headphones.
This is HaIIer.
And this is your office.
Uh. . . ActuaIIy, I'm in my office, Ms. Lorna. I'm on my way to IngIewood.
Listen, jot down and remind me to give ReynaIdo. . .
The baiIiff over at San Fernando, $200 for Christmas, aIright?
Got it. Hey, did VaI reach you about his customer?
Yeah, 'I got something big for you, Mick!'
Everytime. Any other caIIs?
No, just some odds and ends.
PDUI's, they just recruited some house members. Oh. . .
GIoria Larson caIIed from county Iock-up.
She got popped again?
The usuaI with compIications.
Coccaine possession. First appearance is right after Iunch.
TeII her, I'II try.
So, I was thinking, boss, you know, uh. . .
When you get your Iicence back, Why not maybe uh. . . you know, Iike a stay-on.
- Like permanent things on me, you know? - I got my Iicence back 3 months ago, EarI.
Hey, boss. Want me to do something about that?
'Cos I can.
Uh. . . keep doing what you're doing.
Boss?
AIright.
PuII over up here.
CounciIor.
- Eddie. - How's it hangin'?
Oh, a IittIe to the Ieft, my man. How about you?
Not bad.
Your car's a IittIe messy.
Yeah, maid didn't come 'tiI Tuesday.
What can I do for you, big man?
Our boy, HaroId caIIed from the Pens, said you're staIIing his case 'tiI you see some more 'green'.
I don't get paid, I don't work.
We paid you, $5, 000.
That's Iong gone, Eddie.
Look, I couId teII you, the haIf of it went to an aeriaI photo expert.
He's gonna bIow the State's case by showing that the DEA vioIated the air space. . .
Over HaroId's farm by fIying too Iow.
I can aIso teII you that I gotta fIy that guy in from New York City . . .
Get him to testify, put him up in a hoteI, and aII that kind of stuff.
But you don't need to know that.
AII you need to know is that we had a deaI.
It's time to refiII the tank.
What? Another 5 grand?
Ten. He wants to fIy business.
He wants first cIass hoteI.
And we want HaroId back on the farm.
- He's our best farmer, you know what I mean? - I don't.
And I don't want to.
Now, Iook.
Either pay me.
Or go with the pubIic defender.
He won't know much about air space, but. . .
Aren't you gonna count it?
I just did.
Keep that rubber on the road, Eddie.
Let's roII, EarI.
So, this expert fIying from New York. You want me to pick him up at the airport?
There's nobody coming in.
The best camera experts in the worId are right here in HoIIywood.
Nice, you know what?
You wouId've done aIright on the streets.
Shit. . . What do you think I am, EarI?
Louis RouIet?
Yes.
I'm MichaeI HaIIer.
Mr. HaIIer. Our guy caIIed you because I need someone.
This whoIe thing is a set-up.
I made a mistake with that woman and she was setting me up. . .
Keep your voice down, hear me?
Don't say anything about the case, untiI I get you out on baiI.
I understand your famiIy Iawyer's in court?
Yes, his name's CeciI Dobbs.
- He's here somewhere. - I'II find him.
TeII me about yourseIf.
- How oId are you? - 32.
Ties to community? Did you grow up here?
Yeah, BeverIy HiIIs. Went to USC.
Work for my mother's business.
What about your father?
He died when I was 2.
How much did you make Iast year, Louis?
The taxes said $600, 000.
I want a Iawyer too.
My name's CorIiss. Who's this?
- You got a card on you? - Listen, buddy, they have a Iawyer for you out there.
Right now, I need you to back away and give us a IittIe space.
Can you do that, paI?
I'm backing, boss.
Here we go. AII good.
There we go.
Now, Iisten, they've uh. . .
Put some heavy charges on you, Louis.
The DA's probabIy gonna ask for no baiI.
- No baiI? - I said they're gonna ask for it.
When was the Iast time you were arrested?
- Never. - So, if I check your record. . .
You'd find parking tickets.
Are you gonna get me out of here?
I'm gonna try, Louis.
Are you the prosecutor who used to have the RouIet's case?
HaIIer.
Son of a bitch.
RuIes are ruIes.
I wanted this one. Okay, okay, I'II go quIetIy.
But after today's hearing, if you don't object. . .
Depends.
You going for no baiI?
That won't change with the prosecutor.
Not after what your guy did.
If he didn't?
Sure 'if'.
BaiIey picked him in her home with bIood aII over him.
I Iove it when you get sarcastic.
Can I see the arrest report?
You get it from whomever takes over.
No favours on this one.
How's HayIey today?
She's good.
Good.
I'II pick her up the usuaI time on Saturday.
Because of the seriousness of the offence. . .
The financiaI resources of the accused. . .
The State requests no baiI.
Your Honour, there's no way the State can cIaim that my cIient is a fIight risk.
- He's not. - With resources Iike this man has, fIight is aIways risk.
- Are there any priors? - No, Your Honour.
Then, I'm gonna reduce the risk of fIight by ordering him to a tracer ankIet. . .
And I'm gonna set baiI at $1 miIIion.
- Judge, have you seen the photo? - Ms. McPherson, the baiI is set.
Thank you, Judge.
Mick, feeIing Iike to thank me and speak good of me? 'Cos this one's gonna be the money, I'm teIIing you.
- We'II see, we'II see. - This is the Iawyer right there, CeciI Dobbs.
Hey, Mick, don't forget our deaI.
. . . He's here now. I'II taIk to you Iater.
- CeciI Dobbs. - Mr. HaIIer.
Depressing to see the boy caught up in that kettIe caII.
The boy?
I represent the famiIy for a Iong time.
Listen, my advice is, Iet VaI fix you up the bond.
And you, take the boy home.
WeII, we were thinking of putting up property.
There's the Windsors beach house.
Mother's name is Windsor?
Her second husband's name.
He's dead now.
Assessing the house couId take days.
Trust me, you don't want the boy in the cIean CIeveIand that Iong.
So, tap VaI. Take Louis to your office. . .
I'II meet you there at 4.
Here, Iet me give you my business card.
Oh boy.
Media?
Yeah, that'II be on us.
Mrs. Windsor's sensitive about the press.
I guess there's much we can do about that.
We'II see.
Say, Bob!
Come here. Come here.
Saw you fiIming in there. What's your name?
Name's Rob GiIIan. They caII me 'Sticks'.
Sticks, you freeIancing on this?
Yeah, your cIient's got profiIe, figure I'II seII to IocaI news.
- How much? - How much what?
How much they pay you for what you shot in there?
Uh. . . That depends.
7. . . 750?
How about we take it off your hands. . .
For 8? No?
Too short?
AIright, Iet's make it a grand.
- DeaI? - It's yours.
- So, I can expense this, right? - Of course.
AbsoIuteIy.
Thank you, Sticks.
Thank you.
You know, Mr. HaIIer. . . You weren't my choice.
Bet I wasn't.
Firms Iike yours must have some heavy hitters on caII.
We do, but Louis insisted.
FrankIy, I've never heard of you.
But uh. . . Maybe I shouId have.
Did you say I was Louis' choice?
Yes, he read about a case you had.
I need a hundred grand upfront. Working at $550 an hour. . .
Another hundred if we go to triaI.
The motion goes pass a week.
AppeaIs, we start over.
I take it that's no probIem?
- No. - See you at 4.
Where are we heading now?
We gotta go and meet Sticks at Jim's.
- The same spot? - Hm-hm.
AIright.
There he is.
There we go.
Eight for me, two for you.
- Thanks, Sticks. - Anytime.
- Hm-hm. . . - Hey, hey, my tape!
You don't Iook good, girI.
Thanks.
Something new?
Booked on possession of coke?
PIus the usuaI.
I know, it's dumb, it's. . .
A guy paid me with it and I had it on me when I went to the next.
And the next was a cop?
Yeah.
Look, can't you get me one of those. . .
Rehab pIaces that get you straight?
We did a pre-chiId rehab Iast time. The DA's never gonna go for it again.
- You may have to do some jaiI time, GIoria. - I can't.
Yes you can. Yes. . . You can.
Hey. . . They have programs in jaiI too.
Look, you've had a Iong run.
Maybe after this you'II get a Iife.
Yeah.
Housewife of the year. That's me.
Maybe I can turn some tricks for the PTA.
- It's not funny. - I'd Iike to see that.
AIright, aIright, give it to me.
AIright, I uh. . .
I did a guy at the TraveIIer's at Santa Monica.
A guy who paid you with coke instead of money?
Yeah, and he had a show of coke in there, I saw it.
- You know him? - No.
He reached me from my website. He was uh. . .
He's Mexican or something.
Did you screen him?
Oh, I screened them aII.
Okay, with what? His driver's Iicence?
His passport. It was uh. . .
His name uh. . .
- His name's Hector. - Hector what?
- Um. . . - What's his Iast name?
Think, GIoria, think.
Hector Arande Moya's what you get if you run a trace.
He's a fugitive from a the grand jury down in FIorida.
The DA wants him for drug trafficking.
And LesIie, they want him a Iot.
And your girI's Iooking to trade?
She gives you his hoteI and room number.
- She'II aIso testify on the coke? - No, Iocation onIy.
You guys take it from there.
My best guess is that Hector hasn't checked out yet.
And in exchange?
You drop aII charges, aII she does is a pre-chiId rehab.
The faciIity at the USC Med wouId be nice.
Or I can take it to the Feds.
They'II cut this deaI in a minute.
AIright, you fucking asshoIe.
After you.
- You'd go head first? - I'd give it a shot if I was gonna do it.
- Why? - Star points.
You're so vain, nobody cares if you kiII yourseIf.
It'II Iook cooI. What do you think the Iast thing that'd go through your mind wouId be?
Your asshoIe.
Mr. HaIIer.
Louis, good morning.
- Thank you. - It's just a start.
This is Frank Levin. Frank's my investigator.
- Louis RouIet. - Good to meet you.
We're in here.
Got a. . . tracer ankIet.
A present from your friend, VaI VaIenzueIa by the order of the court.
As if I'd go any pIace before this thing's over.
GentIemen, weIcome.
- Mr. Dobbs. - Mr. HaIIer.
Good to see you. This is Frank Levin.
Mr. Levin is my investigator. His fees are in addition to mine.
Of course.
GentIemen, this is Mary Windsor. She's Louis' mother.
- Mr. HaIIer. - Mrs. Windsor.
- PIeasure to meet you. - How do you do?
Fine, thank you. This is Frank Levin, my investigator.
How do you do?
The charges against my son are ridicuIous.
So is that woman.
Here's a cheque for you, Mr. HaIIer.
This is going to have to come from your son, Mrs. Windsor.
You can give him the money, he can write the cheque.
But it must come from him.
He's my cIient.
And I have to be cIear from the start.
I can't thank you enough for being here.
SincereIy, it's good to know that you're gonna be there.
When we need you.
But not now? Is that it?
No, ma'am. The DA can make you testify about what you hear.
Attorney priviIedge does not cover you.
I'II see you at home.
She's not used to being toId what to do.
I can beIieve that.
So, how fast can I go to triaI?
I want this behind me.
Are you sure?
You can stretch it out and enjoy your freedom.
- Most cIients choose to. . . - GuiIty. . . cIients, you mean.
Okay, then I insist on going to triaI right away.
Or perhaps, it never goes to triaI at aII?
My firm can bring uh. . .
ConsiderabIe infIuence to Bear.
Oh, don't kid yourseIf, CeciI.
There's no way the State's dropping these charges.
As a matter of fact, they've aIready upped them to the negotiating position.
There won't be any negotiating.
No pIea bargain, no nothing.
I'm not going to jaiI for something I didn't do.
I'm innocent.
And if there is a triaI, I wanna take the stand and teII the jury. . .
That I'm innocent.
Now, if that's a probIem, we can part company right now.
Time to teII me what happened.
I was having a drink at The Association.
The Association? The bar on 6th Street?
The one with a Iot of young women?
Right. Good for pick-ups.
What's the fiIe say about the girI, Frank?
Uh. . . Regina Campo.
Known as Reggie, 26 years oId.
Part time actress, part time office temp.
And hoping to retire after suing my cIient.
Did you know her before Iast night, Louis?
No. I've seen her around, but. . .
We never spoke. She was aIways with another guy.
Last night too.
I got it that she wasn't into her date.
She brushed by me on her way to the bathroom.
She basicaIIy just Iaid her address on me, on a napkin.
She said she couId get rid of him by 10.
Do you stiII have it? What she wrote down?
No, I didn't keep the napkin.
Check the fiIe. See if the poIice report has any of this.
Frank here has aIready worked us a IittIe miracIe.
He uh. . . happened to score us a copy of the discovery fiIe.
Everything the DA has.
They wouId have had to turn it over eventuaIIy, but it wouId've taken a whiIe.
No, they don't have the other guy.
They don't even have the bar.
So, what? AII they've got is Louis shows up at her apartment. . .
And she gets beaten?
That is such buIIshit.
Just keep teIIing me your story.
Okay.
I got there earIy.
And uh, waited untiI he came out.
Did you see what he was driving?
A bIue mustang.
AIright, so he comes out, you go in?
She saw it was me.
And opened the door.
Uh. . . the haIIway was tight.
So I had to. . . waIk pass her, you know. . .
She cIosed the door.
So my back was to her and um. . .
That was it.
- What was it? - She hit me with something.
I got down. . . And verything got bIack fast.
Show me where she hit you.
Right here.
StiII hurts.
And that bIow knocked you out?
Next I know, 2 faggots were sitting on me. HoIding me down.
PoIice report has it, it's the a homosexuaI coupIe from across the haII.
Like I said, faggots.
I stand corrected. Faggot coupIe from across the haII.
Go on, Louis.
I was stiII foggy when the cops came.
My name's officer MaxweII, I'd Iike to ask you a few questions.
- Can you teII me your name, pIease? - Reggie Campo.
- Do you know this gentIeman? You met him before? - No!
That's when I saw she'd set me up.
- Set it up, how? - She put bIood on my hand.
My Ieft hand.
He said he was gonna rape me.
And kiII me.
And then he said he was gonna come back here and rape me again.
You said she Ieft her door open a crack.
Did you happen to see her face?
Not aII of it.
MainIy her eye.
Wait, her Ieft eye?
- Yes. - AIright, so she aIready had the injuries to the right side of her face. . .
She opens the door. . .
ConceaIs that from him.
And as he enters, she . . . she cIobbers him.
So, our case is what?
She beat herseIf up?
If she aIready had the injuries. . .
She either did just that or she had a boyfriend do it.
She must have. I mean, she saw Louis' Maserati. . . His watch.
It's known the famiIy has money.
I weigh you shouId be fiIing in civiI court the moment this is over.
Let's hear the poIice report.
How's Reggie teIIing?
Okay, according to the victim. . .
She was home aIone when the suspect presented himseIf at the door. . .
As someone she knew.
Upon Ietting him in, she was immediateIy struck.
Does it say, he knocked her down?
Yes, there was a struggIe that continued from the haIIway to the stairs.
He heId the victim by the neck. . .
And forced her down. Suspect maintained the position. . . .
Behind her. . .
HoIding a knife against the Ieft side of her throat.
That's not my knife.
His prints aII here, Frank?
WeII, stands to reason, if she put bIood on his hand. . .
She put his prints on the knife.
I just toId you though, that isn't my knife.
Keep taIking Frank.
As Ms. Campo ran for the stairs. . .
They fought and she kept the intruder backwards.
ReaIising her attacker had her cornered she fought free and . . .
Reached a nearby bottIe of vodka.
And that's when she cIogged him.
That's her story.
Those are aII Iies.
Look, if everything she's saying is a Iie. . .
Then, this is going to be the easiest case, ever.
But you swear, it's aII Iies?
AII of it?
Are you sure there's not anything. . .
That you're not teIIing me?
Nothing.
Why did he choose you, Mick?
Rich kid, spoiIed as shit . . . Never heard the word 'no'. . . .
Yeah, but the damn thing is, the way he teIIs his story, Frank.
Just quite enough to be true.
I don't know, Mick. This kid feeIs wrong to me.
But, I'II check out his story. AII of it.
Start at The Association Bar.
And then, this Regina Campo. The way he said she came on to her. . .
Sounds Iike a pro.
Yeah, write it down. AIso uh. . Mr. . . Mr. Mustang?
AIright, I stiII don't get how that works.
What? He and Reggie got into some rough train then he punched her?
UnIess he was in on it.
Meaning. . . He hit her afterwards?
Bingo.
Jesus, Mick, are you starting to think Louis is innocent?
He just might.
Besides, you know, my father aIways said about an innocent cIient.
No, I've never heard this. Hi. . .
He said 'there's no cIient as scary as an innocent man'.
That's right.
'Cos if you screw up and he goes to prison. . . You're never gonna be abIe to Iive with yourseIf.
So, there's onIy one verdict you can put on the board, baby. . .
And that's an N G.
What do you say, Mags?
Frank, if you Iet a man drive home in this condition. . .
I think that I can charge you both.
I'II take him to his house.
How are you gonna get home?
EarI couId pick up the car from me in the morning.
I came with friends.
Later.
No, no, I got this.
I insist.
What?
MoonIight becomes you.
You do not do me any good, HaIIer.
Hey, Mick!
Jesus, Frank. What couIdn't wait?
Wanna watch a movie?
We caught a break.
The owner had a camera system set up Iast month.
I had the. . . security tape transferred to a disk.
So I couId manipuIate. . .
I know this pIace.
There's our boy, Louis.
And I wouId Iike you to meet. . .
Ms. Reggie Campo.
And there's. . . Mr. Mustang.
- Are you sure? - I wouIdn't have popped a grand for the tape if I wasn't sure.
Now, watch.
Reggie gets up, goes to the Iadies room. . .
Mr. Mustang chats up the bartender. So that's where he goes. . .
And give Reggie her chance. . .
Watch her.
Wait, that's not how he said it went down.
He said she gave him her address on a napkin.
Okay, hoId on, Hoss. . . HoId on. . .
Let her go pee. Okay, here she comes.
There's your napkin.
Now, watch this.
She and Mr. Mustang decided it's time to spIit. . .
Look, Iook. . . Look at his hand. Look at his watch.
So he's Ieft handed. That's my bet.
FaciaI bIows are from the Ieft. This guy's right handed.
Mick, you haven't been drinking enough.
You said you knew The Association?
You wouId reaIise, this shot is into the mirror behind the bar.
'Cos that's where the owner set up the camera so he couId watch his register!
- Things are backwards. - And Mr. Mustang punches with his Ieft.
Yeah. . . you proud of yourseIf, Frank?
I reaIIy reaIIy am.
But not just about this.
That feeIing I had about Reggie?
That she was seIIing it? I did a IittIe bit of research. . .
She's our girI.
You teII me the cops don't have this?
How can they? There's onIy one and it's not a copy.
Then make a copy.
What? You're gonna give it to the prosecutor?
Yeah, a new guy named, Ted Minton.
He's gonna hand over the discovery fiIe.
Oh, poor bunny.
He's not gonna know what hit him.
How Iong 'tiI you think your man's back?
ProbabIy just a few more minutes.
Mr. HaIIer.
- There he is. - Sorry to keep you waiting.
- The discovery fiIe. - I hope this wiII be worth your whiIe.
Kinda Iight.
You have a pIace where we can pIay this?
What eIse do you have?
What eIse do I have?
Come on, Minton. Let's cut the buIIshit here.
AIright? Not onIy your so-caIIed victim a prostitute. . .
But I have her soIiciting my guy on video.
You think the jury's gonna see this. . .
And think he had to rape her at knife point just to have sex with her?
No.
Are you Iistening to what I'm saying?
Yes and it doesn't change the offer I'm prepared to make.
Offer?
You going forward?
We wiII drop down to assauIt with the deadIy.
Attempted sexuaI battery.
GuideIines put that on. . . 7 years, maybe he'II do 4?
What am I missing here?
Hey, Frank!
What's up?
AIright, Iook here. These fiIes Iook identicaI to me.
AIright, there's something we're missing and we're not seeing it.
WeII, here's the discovery fiIe I got from my cIerk in DA's office.
And this is the one I got from Minton.
Wow. . . Wow. . . Wow. . .
Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.
Son of a bitch.
They switched up the fiIes. This is a different knife.
- Hm-hm. . . - I've been taking care of this guy for 10 years.
And he set me up.
WeII, he's off the christmas Iist.
He's on the shit Iist.
Good shot!
Looks a IittIe short to me.
You guys finish yourseIves. See you Iater.
- They've cIosed down anyway. - AIright.
Louis.
So, what happened? Did you see Minton?
Oh, I saw him.
We need to taIk.
You Iied to me, Louis.
You didn't teII me you were paying Reggie Campo for sex.
I don't go Iookin' surprised. CouId've easiIy toId me that in CeciI's office.
I don't want my mother to find out.
CeciI teIIs her everything.
Oh, so you decided to keep from me the one thing. . .
That couId've made this triaI go away?
- Huh? - Is that what Minton said?
- No more triaI? - I said 'couId have'.
If that had been the onIy Iie you toId me.
What do you mean?
Recognise that?
It's a picture of your knife.
The one you had on you when you went to Reggie's.
The one the cops have.
That's why Ted Minton didn't focus to answer shit, why shouId he?
- When he's got a knife with her bIood and your initiaI? - That wasn't the knife that was in the fiIe.
That's right, it wasn't.
The fiIe Frank got is what we caII a 'Ioaded deck'.
The cops use it to set us up. To make us think they didn't have anything.
When in fact, they've got enough to put your goIf pIaying ass for 20 years, big boy.
Why did you Iie to me about the knife?
Louis, why wouId you Iie about anything?
Everything you teII me is confidentiaI. Attorney cIient priviIedges.
AIright, I didn't Iie. I said the knife in the picture wasn't mine.
I said it twice and nobody Iistened to me.
What are you now? The god damn Iawyer?
You said it wasn't yours. . .
What you shouId've said was 'I had a knife, Mick'.
'But this isn't it'.
You brought a weapon to a meeting with a prostitute.
So, you teII me, how the heII am I supposed to make that Iook Iike she set you up?
I. . . did not do this.
It's custom made.
It's a razor tip. It's got your initiaIs engraved. . .
On the handIe.
I aIways carry it.
We show homes to peopIe we don't know!
There's one time. . .
My mother was showing a pIace.
It was in BeI Air, so she thought it was okay to go aIone.
- He was there. - Who was there?
The man who raped her.
When she didn't come back. . .
I went to the house and found her.
That's when she stopped showing property.
And I started carrying a knife.
AIways.
- Your mother wiII have to testify. - No, no, I don't want that.
I don't give a damn what you want.
You wanna stay out of this shit house, you do exactIy as I teII you. . .
From now on, you got it?
- Hey. . - Hey. . .
Success. We had fun.
- Got her? - Yeah.
At Ieast you did one thing right, huh?
We did a coupIe.
Good night.
WeII, Iook who's come caIIing.
Detective KurIen.
Hey, you been to San Quentin, IateIy?
See our boy, Martinez?
I asked you something.
How's Martinez doing up there? He made the pucker-up and kiss me team?
I haven't taIked to him.
Right, I guess once they pIead guiIty and go down, you don't have much use for 'em, huh?
But uh. . .
He's away forever, right?
He got Iife, yeah.
So, he'II be out in 15.
Too bad, 'cos his victim, Donna Renteria, she's dead forever.
How does someone Iike you sIeep at night?
With aII the scum you represent?
Hey, KurIen.
Come here a second.
I had a cIient once.
He uh. . . decapitated his ex wife.
- Kept her head in the refrigerator. - Nice, sweet.
The DA got greedy.
Tried to piIe on 2 unassauIt murders. . .
Tricked up the evidence, tried to make it Iook Iike my guy did it.
But you got your boy off.
And he's out waIking around now, right?
- WeII, fuck you, HaIIer. - No, fuck the DA.
And the cops who heIped him.
It's caIIed the justice system, KurIen.
It's not the way it's supposed to work.
WeII, Iook who's here?
- Kids. . . Maggie. - Hey. . .
You Iike a beer?
A coId beer. Scotty!
Oh, we couId share this.
No, I'm good.
AIright, aIright. We swapped spits before.
TeII me about your uh. . . Your buddy, Minton.
Who says he's my buddy?
WeII, he was saying that you were good.
With that guy, CorIiss, right?
Yeah.
How did you know?
You'II take the guy's head off first down.
Hope so. So what uh. . .
Ted taIked to you about CorIiss?
No, no, I sent him to Ted.
He thought I was on the case because I'm his first appearance.
But I shouId not be teIIing you any of this.
No, I knew.
I knew a guy Iike Minton wouIdn't have bothered putting ajaiIhouse snitch on the stand.
I mean, that's what he is, right?
Can we just have a friendIy beer and not taIk about work?
Let's grab a tabIe up back and grab something to eat.
We can taIk about our daughter?
Okay.
Yeah.
I bet she didn't know 3D movies couId be so much fun.
I was watching her.
- FiIIing the cup. - Right.
Yeah.
Hey, you didn't know Minton had CorIiss 'tiI I bIabbed, did you?
I knew he was on at something.
Screw it, I'm not gonna defend Minton. He fights too dirty.
- Is this from Maggie McPherson? - Hey. . .
You know there are Iines I won't cross.
Don't you?
Can you give me a Iift?
[Whispering] She's gonna wake up and she's gonna see us here.
[Whispering] It's not fair.
How did she get in here?
She comes in when she has nightmares.
How often does she have nightmares?
Don't start.
You don't know what it's Iike to raise a chiId aIone.
I'II Ieave. Come back in an hour. . .
We'II go together to pick up your car. . .
Then, I can take HayIey to schooI.
Just Iike that? You're gonna start taking her to schooI?
Do you remember what we taIked about Iast night?
Yes, I remember what we taIked about Iast night.
But I thought you were just trying to get my head into your case or get me in bed.
Can't Iive with you, can I?
No, you can't. Not when you're being a defense Iawyer.
Not when I'm trying to keep dirt bags off the streets.
And you keep putting them there.
- Heard it aII before, Mag! - Hm-hm.
Donna Renteria.
Oh, man, they have my picture everywhere, man.
They're gonna bring me in anyway, so I'm fucked.
Thought you toId KurIen you were in her apartment? He didn't have that.
- No, no. . . - He didn't have it.
He didn't even have any prints.
No, but that's just. . . It was true. . .
I saw her at The Arizona. . . I was uh. . .
She said, if I paid her more money than the other guy. . .
Then we can go to her pIace.
Nobody saw any other guy.
There was another guy! It was. . . It was uh. . .
A white guy. He was right by the bar.
The coroner says her vagina was brutaIised.
Are you my Iawyer, man?
- I'm trying to be. - Look, when I Ieft, that chick was fine.
Look, I sIept with her, okay.
I did, but I didn't hurt her. I promise.
Three peopIe saw you throw a knife into the LA River.
- Huh? HeIp me. - I had that knife in my car.
I knew they were gonna find it, man. They were gonna pin it on me.
- I know! - Look, if aII you did was have sex with her. . .
Then why didn't you Ieave any prints, huh?
- I mean the pIace was wiped down cIean. - I didn't wipe it down, though!
You Ieft semen on the toweI?
You remember that? Did you forget the toweI?
No! I didn't forget anything man!
I ust used that toweI, I paid her and I Ieft.
That defense ain't gonna make.
- Dude, don't say that! - It won't make, man.
There's not a chance in heII with that defense.
- You know what they're asking for? - What?
They want the death penaIty, man.
They wanna take your ass down. They wanna burn you, man.
Listen.
I can see to it that that never . . . happened.
But not if you don't pIead.
Oh, you want me to say I did it?
There's a deaI to be made here.
And I can do it.
I can get you Iife.
Now, Iife means you're paroIed in 15.
It keeps the needIe out of your arm, man.
It's our onIy pIay, man.
This paroIe. . . You know what it means? That means I didn't do it!
That's the best I can get for you, man.
I don't wanna go to jaiI for something I didn't do, man.
You know what's that's gonna do to my mom, bro?
I ain't going to jaiI for something I didn't do, bro!
Come on, man.
PIease heIp me, bro. PIease heIp me.
CALIFORNIA STATE PRISON SAN QUENTIN
I'm not gonna ask how you are, 'cos I know.
No, bro.
You don't know.
But I need to ask you some questions, Jesus.
Oh, questions?
Now?
You know what? You didn't ask me a Iot of questions back then.
You never asked me. 'Did you kiII her?'
No.
PIease, I'm trying to make this right.
I need you to teII me what happened at The Arizona Bar that night, one more time.
PIease.
She was workin'.
I Iiked her.
I mean, out of them, I Iiked her. She was the one.
You know, she caught my eye.
They were going around in a IittIe circIe, you know.
She was acting aII cute and shit.
I don't know how this turns out, you know. . .
No, it's fine. You wanna dance?
Yeah, I wanna dance.
I can give you a private dance.
I picked her.
I asked her to dance for me.
# And we strated talking.#
#You know, she said that I couId take her home. #
So, how much for me to come over?
WeII, usuaIIy I charge a thousand. But for you. . .
$300, 'cos you're sexy.
#And she was good, man, yeah. #
#So I did. #
But I ain't kiII her.
You said there was another guy, right?
Yeah.
She was taIking to him.
And then she came back to me.
Okay.
I got some pictures, aIright? Some mug shots.
Jesus, see if you can ID. . .
That other guy at the cIub.
TeII me if you recognise him.
No.
How about this guy, Jesus?
Recognise him?
Uh-uh.
Okay, take your time.
Yeah, yeah. This guy?
Is this the other guy?
Is this guy in the cIub that night?
Guard!
- Jesus. - Having fun?
- Is this the other guy? - Why you pIay me, bro?
Why are you bothering me with this anymore?
- Jesus, is this the guy? - What does it matter, man?
I'm right here. Right where you wanted me, bro!
Is this the guy? This is the guy?
You know what? I don't trust you, bro!
Jesus, I'm trying to make it right!
- It never wiII! - Interview's over.
Okay, that's my boy, that's my boy. . .
Get out of here, yeah!
Hey! You okay? Where've you been today?
Been trying to caII you.
I've been to San Quentin.
To see Jesus Martinez.
About what happened after. . .
He Ieft Donna Renteria's apartment.
- After he kiIIed her? - He didn't kiII her, Frank.
He went there.
He had sex.
FIushed the condom down the toiIet.
Wiped his his print on a pink toweI and he went off.
But he didn't kiII her.
Come on, Mick, we've been through this a hundred times.
#The reaI kiIIer. . . #
#She Iet him in. #
#Maybe uh. . . he faked Iike he was Martinez's friend and acted Iike he had an appointment. #
#Like the guy in the bar?#
#Right. He comes in. He punches her. #
#She's not gonna be Iike Iike Reggie Campo. #
#Cos this time, the bitch puIIs a knife. #
#Takes her and puts her on the tabIe. Puts on a condom and rapes her. #
#And when he's done. . . #
#She was stabbed. . . over and over. . . #
#52 times Iike he was something of his god damn mind. #
Do I have to teII you what kind of knife it was?
A short bIade foIding knife?
Just Iike RouIet's.
Okay, okay, Iet's take it a IittIe bit easier on that, okay?
Why, Frank? Why didn't I Iisten?
Listen, I got a basebaII bat if you reaIIy wanna beat yourseIf up.
I don't wanna beat myseIf up. Son of a bitch toId me he didn't do it.
AIright? There was the DNA.
And there was the knife that ditched. But there was no way I was gonna Iisten to him.
There was no way I wouId beIieve that he didn't do it.
I couIdn't beIieve him!
I couIdn't beIieve, that I actuaIIy. . .
CouId represent an innocent man.
Just Iike my father warned me about.
Mick, come on, they aII said they didn't do it.
- You know that. - So, what did I do?
I get him to pIead.
I get his sister to beg him to pIead.
'Cos he got no case.
So I gave him the best deaI I can. You know, I feeI pretty god damn good about it.
'Cos hey, I got the son of a bitch off death row.
I got him 15 years instead of the needIe.
Yeah.
I showed him RouIet's picture.
Okay.
RouIet is using Martinez as the other guy in the bar?
Like Mr. Mustang in this case?
So, he's not just getting off and kiIIing women.
It's seeing somebody eIse do the time. That's his MO.
What did Martinez say?
Enough.
Enough for me to know. I gotta . . . I gotta find . . .
What you gotta do, is find a way to put RouIet in Renteria's apartment the night she was murdered.
- That's what you gotta do. - I have to find a way to make it right, Frank.
I gotta make it right.
WeII, you can't bring him to the cops 'cos he's your cIient.
And you can't take him to the DA 'cos you'II Iose your Iicence.
Worse, any evidence we found wouId be inadmissibIe . . . attorney cIient priviIedge.
It'II ruin any case that we couId ever have against him.
That's why the son of a bitch hired me.
He's got me in his trick bag.
You got one cIient in jaiI
For what your other cIient did.
What are you gonna do, Mick?
- Hey, Mick, you okay, buddy? - Frank, Frank, Iisten to me. I got it.
- What? - You know how RouIet said aII we'II find on him is parking tickets, right?
- Right. - I just don't buy that anymore.
Now, there are others.
Other girIs he did.
Renteria and Campo, I mean, they Iook too much aIike.
Like their sisters. And the injury to the right side of their face is too simiIar.
Right? This guy's got a type, Frank.
There are other cases out there. And you can find them.
Now, you gotta do this, I can't.
- I'm his Iawyer. - Okay, okay, I'm on it.
AIright. I gotta take this.
- Maggie, hey. - Hey, did you get my voicemaiI?
Uh, I've been up at San Quentin to see an oId cIient.
How's HayIey?
#She's good. She's got soccer this weekend. #
Saturday, right?
- Hm-hm. - I Iook forward to it.
#Great. TaIk Iater. #
If you're wondering how I got in. . .
I'm in reaI estate, so, if I wanna get into a friend's house. . .
No, we're not friends.
You're my cIient.
I'm your Iawyer.
My Iawyer.
See, that's exactIy what I wanted to remind you of.
I'm about to go on triaI.
And yet. . .
I couIdn't reach you.
Now I found out where you were aII day.
Heard you teII Maggie.
- You shit. - You went to see Jesus Martinez.
And I know what you taIked about.
Donna Renteria.
You're right, Mick.
I kiIIed her.
There. No reason why I shouIdn't teII my own Iawyer.
Since it's aII confidentiaI.
Attorney cIient priviIedge.
Isn't that what you toId me?
It's time for you to go, Louis.
AIright.
That's a cute picture of your daughter, HayIey.
She's very pretty.
- She's got soccer practice tomorrow, right? - Don't.
Don't what?
You think you're the first cIient to ever threaten me with my famiIy? Huh?
AII I said was she's pretty.
Are you scared, Louis?
Because where you are, right now. . .
You're in a very dangerous pIace.
#So, in concIusion. . . #
#What this case is about. . . #
#What this case is aII about. . . #
#Is a predator. #
On the night of March 6th. . .
Louis RouIet was out staIking his prey.
Now, you're going to hear from the victim herseIf, about her IifestyIe. . .
One that we wouId not condone.
But remember.
Anyone.
Can be a victim of a vioIent crime.
This case is cIear.
It's straight forward.
A man attacked a woman in her home.
In order to rape and kiII her.
And it is onIy by the grace of God.
That she's here to teII her story.
Ladies and gentIemen.
My name is MichaeI HaIIer.
And I'm representing Louis RouIet.
Now, Mr. Minton. . .
Doesn't wanna use the word prostitute. . .
For the woman who was supposed to be Louis' victim.
He needn't worry.
Because this case isn't about how she makes her money.
This case is about her actions.
How she saw a man with signs of weaIth. . .
As a ticket out of the Iife she was in.
And chose to target him.
Now, what she didn't count on, was you.
How you put two and two together. . .
And Iet your common sense teII you. . .
Who the reaI predator is, in this case.
Thank you for your time.
The court wiII adjourn untiI Monday.
And the State wiII caII its first witness.
Go, HayIey, go! Turn, turn, turn!
Left foot! Left foot!
Hey, Mick.
Hey, Maggie.
What are you doing here?
I'm gonna take HayIey home.
You've got some pIace to be.
What are you taIking about? What happened?
Hey, hey, sir, stop.
That's my famiIy.
- Sir! - FamiIy.
- This is a cIosed crime scene. - Sorry, name's Mick HaIIer.
- SobeI, SobeI! - Yeah, yeah, yeah. . .
Listen, sIow down a second.
- SIow down. - What happened?
Somebody shot him. In the chest and the head.
And they shot the dog too.
His body is right in front of the door.
Great, this is just what we need.
So you've uh. . . been here before. You can teII us if anything is unusuaI.
Anything weird?
Like, throughout this whoIe house. . .
Why is it that aII I see are pictures of this guy?
My partner's asking if Frank Levin was gay?
- Is that reIevant? - Yeah, it's aII reIevant.
He's an ex cop.
Cops against persons in Chicago.
Is that botch enough for you, Lankford?
I don't see anything that I can heIp you here.
AIright, hey, HaIIer.
I don't need to teII you to stick around town, where I can find you, do I?
Am I a suspect?
When do you retire, Lankford?
- When do I retire? - Yeah.
18 months, why?
I make sure I show the next one so I can kick your ass.
VaI!
Hey, Mick! The heII you banging on the door Iike that for, man?
Are you nuts?
Dude, dude, you Iook terribIe.
Frank Levin was murdered.
Oh man, I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry to hear that. - RouIet did it.
RouIet? I thought you and Frank were defending him? Why wouId he take Frank out?
That makes no sense.
You know, VaI. I figure you know exactIy how it went down.
How wouId I know about it? What are you taIking about?
'Cos you Iied to me.
You didn't send me the RouIet case.
- He asked for me. - Okay, okay, that's true, man.
But you know what I said? 'HaIIer's your man, go for HaIIer'.
I did that for you.
You Iied to me once.
So what? Do you think I wouId Iie about this?
Give me a IittIe respect, give me a IittIe credit. I'm not gonna Iie about this kind of shit.
The poIice checked the tracer that you put on RouIet. It says he was no way near Frank's house.
So maybe it wasn't him, Mick.
Maybe it wasn't him. Nobody can beat the tracer, huh?
It was him. RouIet kiIIed Frank.
- It was RouIet. - I don't Iike the way you're foIIowing me. . .
I don't Iike the way you corner me, man. I don't Iike the way you're taIking to me, okay?
RouIet kiIIed Frank, VaI.
What do you think? You think I cut the kid Ioose, so he couId murder Frank?
Crazy RouIet kiIIed Frank!
Mick, I'm sorry about Frank, but I didn't do it, man.
You're the onIy one that couId've taken it off him.
Being married to you sucked. But being your car service. . .
Maggie.
- Yeah? - You know what I used to be afraid of, Maggie?
Yeah. . . Me.
That I wouIdn't recognise the innocents.
That they'II be right there in front of me, but I just wouIdn't see it.
Yeah.
You know, when I taIked to Minton. . .
GuiIty or not guiIty, just as innocent, you know?
You know what I'm afraid of now?
EviI.
Pure eviI.
Maggie. . .
Did I get Frank Levin kiIIed?
Micky, no.
#New Message, yesterday, 11:07 AM. #
#Mick, it's me, I tried you on your ceII. . . #
#Sorry to interrupt your date with HayIey, but. . . #
#You asked me to do some digging? On RouIet?#
#WeII, I might have found Martinez's ticket, Micky. #
#His ticket out of Quentin. #
#Uh. . . Someone's at the door. Look, you go and you have a good time with HayIey. #
#And I'II fiII you in when I know it's for sure. #
#I gotta go. #
[Phone Ringing]
- Detective SobeI. - SobeI, Mick HaIIer here.
Listen, I just checked my messages.
It turns out, Frank caIIed me just before he was kiIIed.
The message came in at 11:07.
He said he found something. Something that couId heIp an oId cIient of ours get out of prison.
#Okay, who's the cIient?#
#Jesus Martinez. He's in San Quentin. #
Okay, did he say anything eIse?
Yeah, he made ajoke.
Uh. . . He said something about finding Martinez's ticket out of the queue.
And then someone came to the door.
That's when he hung up.
Listen, whoever came to the door. . . That's your kiIIer.
Okay, you got me a copy of the tape.
#Yeah, I'II give it to you right away. #
How is it going with the case? You getting somewhere?
Yeah, uh. . . we did catch a break.
We found a buIIet casing in the room from a . 22.
That's good, Frank Levin owned a . 22. You'II find one registered to him.
#Yeah, we did, but uh. . . #
- It wasn't a MusIin. - A what?
A CoIt Woodsman.
It's an oId antique job.
#That's the gun that kiIIed him. #
Morning, Mick.
It's too bad about Frank Levin.
Got any idea who did it?
Yeah, I'm pretty certain I do.
Mr. TaIbot.
You were with Ms. Campo on the night of March 6th.
Yupe. We went on a date to The Association.
Then I took her back to her pIace.
For another date.
And, did you have sexuaI reIations?
About four hundred bucks worth.
And she earned every singIe cent.
What time did you Ieave her apartment?
Oh, I don't know uh. . . About 5 minutes before 10?
Did she say whether she had another appointment?
Oh, no, no, she acted Iike she was done for the night.
Objection, Your Honour.
I don't think Mr. TaIbot's quaIified to interpret Ms. Campo's thinking or pIans.
I mean, she acted satisfied.
Sustained. Go on, Mr. Minton.
When you Ieft, Mr. TaIbot.
What condition was she in?
Was she hurt?
No, she was fine.
She did not Iook Iike this?
Man.
What kind of sick bastard that did something Iike that?
Answer the question.
No.
No, we made pIeasurabIe and consensuaI Iove.
I mean that's what Iife's aII about, right?
Mr. TaIbot, are you a right handed?
Or Ieft handed?
Left.
- Left? - Yeah.
Isn't it true that before you Ieft Ms. Campo's apartment. . .
She asked you to repeatedIy strike her in the face with your Ieft fist?
Your Honour, Mr. HaIIer's just muddying the water without rigid statements.
It's part of the defense theory, Your Honour.
The witness can answer.
I'm sorry.
Can you repeat the question?
This is by your hand, isn't it, Mr. TaIbot?
Admit it, this whoIe thing is a set-up.
By you and Ms. Campo.
Framing my cIient, Louis RouIet, isn't it?
I never hit her. Or any other woman, you understand?
You know a prostitute named ShaquiIIe Barton?
Working name is uh. . . ShaquiIIa ShackIes?
Yeah, yeah, I seen her once.
And if I brought her in here, can she say 'Yes, Mr. TaIbot, he did strike me'?
- With his Ieft fist, in my face? - She'd be Iying.
I tried ShaquiIIa once.
I'm not into that rough stuff.
I'm a missionary man.
It's a strong Ieft.
Am I on triaI here?
Not yet.
Good afternoon, detectives.
What can I do for you?
This warrant is buIIshit.
WeII, it's good enough to search your house.
It wouId've been smart if you'd toId me that you had a Woodsman?
There's one registered to you.
Let's go for a drive.
AIright.
Let's bag the box.
Can't do baIIistics on a box, can you?
Modern technoIogy.
So uh, why didn't you report this stoIen?
I don't know.
Maybe I shouId have.
You think?
StiII and aII, we're gonna have a Iook around the pIace, huh?
Go crazy. You got the warrant.
AIright, start with the couch.
Sir?
Stand up.
Hey, you know, we got a history on the piece.
Turns out, it once beIonged to Micky Cowen?
The gangster from the '40s?
I know. My father, he uh. . . represented him.
Got him off for using it for seIf defence, so. . .
Micky made him the present of it.
Nice present.
PearI handIe, coIIectors' piece.
How sweet.
You know, that uh. . . That Micky Cowen shooting. . .
It's. . . It's pretty famous.
It turns out that the county, stiII has the evidence on storage.
- The buIIet. - You can match the casing from a sIug that's 50 years oId?
It wouId be easier with the gun, but. . .
Yeah.
How Iong wiII baIIistics take?
Hey, Mick.
I got something for you.
You asked me to find out that witness' name.
Is it CorIiss?
Dwayne Geoffrey CorIiss. Right.
He's a Iow Iife type. Not much came up.
But, sometimes he goes by DJ.
With punctuation? And when you read it that way. . .
TeII me.
WeII, he's pIayed the courtroom snitch a Iot.
Here and in Arizona.
Both times, they got him earIy reIease.
AIright, this couId be good.
AII I gotta do is find him.
They put him on a pre-chiId rehab at USC.
I just got Iucky.
There she is.
How are you, sweety?
You aIright?
AIright, Iisten.
I'm actuaIIy not in here about you.
I need you to do something for me.
Keep moving!
Let's go, Iet's go!
Stay on the waII, aII the way down!
That's the bucks, boys, Iet's go.
Stay on the Iine.
CorIiss, right?
I onIy came to say what is required.
Rusky! Ready for the Iine!
You don't know me.
You taIk to the DA. . .
He can get a way to get both of us out.
Step through!
So, HaIIer, you had an interesting visitor Iast night.
Worry about yourseIf, Ted.
You're dying the death of a thousand razors up there and you don't even know it.
CIass witness, Your Honour.
The Prosecution caIIs Regina Campo.
It's true that I uh. . . Lied to the poIice.
I knew the defendant when he came to the door.
Ms. Campo. . .
Why did you Iie?
Because I'm scared.
I didn't think the poIice wouId beIieve me. . .
And I wanted to make sure they arrested him.
'Cos he's an animaI.
- Do you regret your decision now? - Yes.
If it heIps him get free and do this to somebody eIse.
That's prejudiciary, Your Honour.
Sustained.
I have no further questions for Ms. Campo.
Your witness, Mr. HaIIer.
Ms. Campo.
Have you engaged to an attorney?
To sue. . . Louis RouIet for the events that happened on the eve of March 6th?
No, I haven't.
Have you taIked to an attorney?
I haven't hired anyone.
No, have you taIked to one?
About a possibIe Iawsuit?
It was nothing more than taIk.
Did you ask him if you couId sue him for damages?
I thought what you say to Iawyers is private?
If you wish, you can teII the jurors.
I think I'd Iike to keep it private.
Let's taIk about the night at The Association Bar.
Have you ever seen Louis RouIet before that night?
Yes, there and other pIaces.
Ever noticed that he wore a RoIex watch?
No.
Or that he drove one of 2 vehicIes?
A Maserati and a Range Rover?
I never saw him driving.
And what made you approach him?
I saw him Ieave with girIs uh. . . who do what I do.
With prostitutes?
Then go to a hoteI or one of their apartments, right?
I don't know where.
WeII, how do you know they Ieft?
Maybe they just went out for a smoke?
Because, I saw them getting in his car. . .
- And drive away. - No, wait a minute.
You just testified that you had never seen Mr. RouIet drive.
Now you're saying, yes, you did see Mr. RouIet get in his car
And Ieave with a prostitute Iike yourseIf?
Which one is it?
I saw him get in his car, but I didn't know what kind of car it was.
You know the difference between a Maserati and a Range Rover?
One is smaII, one is big, I guess.
Okay.
The other women.
Had Ieft with Louis.
When you saw them again. . .
Did any of them ever have injuries or any of them beaten?
I don't know, I didn't ask.
But girIs in your profession, you do taIk to each other. . .
About customers, right?
You warned each other. . . if someone's a freak or something?
Yeah, usuaIIy.
And did any of them ever warned you or have one bad thing to say about Louis RouIet?
No.
No one.
So you beIieved you'd be safe?
I thought he was a known quantity and I needed the money, so. . .
So you thought, he couId soIve your probIems with money?
- No! - No?
Isn't that why you're sitting here?
Because you zeroed in on him.
No!
I mean, yes, but it wasn't Iike that.
He attacked me. I swear.
And. . . AIright, Iet's pause that right there.
Just to confirm. . . This is you?
Right, Ms. Campo?
Yes.
What was on the napkin?
My name and address.
And your price?
Yes, $400.
It's a hard Iine of work.
Yes, and dangerous.
In fact, haven't you toId your friends many times. . .
That you were Iooking for a way out?
I'm not proud of what I do.
I know.
And isn't it true. . .
And nothing wiII be easier to understand. . .
That you saw Louis RouIet and his money as that way out?
No! That's not what this is about!
Are you not Iistening to me?
No further questions, Your Honour.
Mr. Minton.
Do you have another witness for us?
Minton Iooks worried.
Not worried enough.
No.
The State rests, Your Honour.
Then the defense wiII caII its first witness after Iunch.
Yes, I recognise this knife.
It's the one that my son has carried with him for protection.
For the Iast 4 years, aImost exactIy.
Why wouId he need protection?
ReaItors aIone in the house are sometimes robbed or. . .
Hurt?
Even raped or murdered.
Has Louis ever been subject to such crime?
Oh no.
But he knew someone who was.
Raped and robbed by a man.
Louis found her.
It was terribIe.
So, the first thing he did afterwards, was getting himseIf a knife.
To carry it with him at aII times.
Thank you, Ms. Windsor.
I have no further questions, Your Honour.
Your witness, Mr. Minton.
Ms. Windsor.
You seemed pretty exact about when it was your son started carrying around this. . .
This weapon.
- A five inch foIding knife. - Yes, I am.
The incident took pIace on June 9th, 2007.
Was it in the newspapers?
Do you somehow remember it because. . .
The poIice came to taIk to Louis?
No, there was no poIice investigation.
Then, how do you remember the exact date?
Were you given it before your testimony here today?
I remember the date because. . .
I'II never forget the date I was attacked.
And Louis won't forget it either.
He found me in the house tied up.
My cIothes were ripped.
It was traumatic for him.
Mr. Minton?
Is there anything eIse you wish to ask?
No, Your Honour.
I've been thinking about those thousand razors?
We've hads an offer.
You spend 6 months in the county jaiI.
Like I toId you from the beginning.
No deaIs, no bargaining, I'm innocent.
Save it. You make the caII. I don't give a shit.
- You got my answer. - Yes, I do.
I'II pass it aIong.
You do that.
Oh, Louis.
Tomorrow. . .
I'm putting you on the stand.
I'm ready.
Oh, you'd better be.
Hey, EarI.
There's something, I need you to get for me.
Your Honour, the defense caIIs Louis Ross RouIet.
I knocked uh. . . She Iooked through her side window. . .
And saw that it was me.
And opened the door.
Then, I waIked pass her towards the Iiving room.
What happened next?
Something hit me from behind.
I bIacked out.
I have no idea for how Iong.
- Is that aII? - When I woke up, uh. . .
Two guys were sitting on me?
TeIIing me not to move.
I couIdn't anyway. I was. . .
I was scared.
But you had bIood on your sweater.
And on your Ieft hand.
Someone put it there because I didn't.
- You didn't strike Ms. Campo with your Ieft fist? - No.
- Threatened to rape her? - No. . .
- Threatened to kiII her? - No! I am not that guy!
I. . .
Do you have any idea what it's Iike. . .
To be accused of something Iike this?
To sit there. . . And Iisten to peopIe teII Iies?
About you? About you having done something this sick and depraved?
CaII you an animaI?
TaIk about your sex Iife, humiIiate you?
Listen, I understand the process. I know I had to sit there. . .
And better be quIet.
And wait my chance.
But if guiIty peopIe have rights, what about innocent peopIe?
I am innocent.
I'm innocent and I want this behind me.
I have no further questions, Your Honour.
According to you. . .
Ms. Campo. . . punched. . .
HerseIf?
Or she had. . . . Someone she had never met.
VioIentIy and visciousIy beat her as a part of a set up?
AII I know is I didn't.
This knife that you aIways carry. . .
How did she know she'd find it on you as part of the set up?
Guess she couIdn't. CouId she?
I never take it out.
I never show it to anyone. . .
So, she must have just found it in my pocket after. . .
She or whoever knocked me out.
- Isn't that right? - I wouId prefer if I ask the questions.
Okay.
Mr. RouIet, I'd Iike you to take uh. . .
Take a Iook at this photo.
TeII me again.
Do you think, Regina Campo wouId or couId. . .
Have done this to herseIf?
I don't know who did it.
But it wasn't me.
Nobody deserves that to happen.
What do you mean by 'deserves'?
Do you mean. . . Crimes of vioIence. . .
OnIy comes down to a woman getting what she deserves?
I mean, no matter what she does. . .
Or who she is.
No woman deserves that.
I have nothing further, Your Honour.
Mr. RouIet, you're excused.
Thank you.
The defense rests, Your Honour.
Before deciding to rest this case, the State wouId Iike to take the night, Your Honour.
For what purpose?
To consider a rebuttaI witness.
What witness is he taIking about?
I have no idea.
The court wiII adjourn 'tiI 10 o'cIock tomorrow.
- Morning, BiII. - Morning.
I'm gonna go grab some coffee. You want some?
No, man, I'm off caffeine.
Right, is that the custody Iist?
- Yeah. - Let me see if I any of my cIients are on there.
Sure.
CORLISS, DWAYNE.
Lorna, Minton's putting CorIiss on.
- He's aIready in Iock-up. - But that is great!
Yeah, it's good. How did it go with you? You served KurIen?
- Yes, I did. - Okay.
I'm going back to court now.
Stand by.
Okay.
Hey, HaIIer, what is this buIIshit?
I have nothing to do with this case?
Subpoena to appear as a witness.
You'II just have to wait and see.
It's a IegaI document, detective.
Hey.
GIad you made it.
- Is he Iooking romantic. - Ever so speciaIIy.
See you Iater.
Mr. Minton.
Does the State have any rebuttaI?
The State intends to caII Dwayne Geoffrey CorIiss, as a rebuttaI witness, Your Honour.
Judge, who is this witness?
And why wasn't I toId about him untiI now?
BaiIiff?
Remove the jury.
A fair question.
Mr. Minton?
Dwayne CorIiss is a co-operating witness who spoke with Mr. RouIet in custody.
- FoIIowing arrest. - That's a Iie! I didn't speak to anyone!
QuIet, Mr. RouIet!
Mr. HaIIer, controI your cIient.
Let me take it from here.
Judge, I share my cIient's outrage.
How Iong has the State been sitting on this testimony?
Mr. CorIiss just came forward yesterday, Your Honour.
Yesterday?
This is incredibIe.
Do you want to go back and taIk to him?
Give him the time? I'd aIIow it.
No, you know, thank you, though, Judge.
I think we aII know what this is.
Mr. Minton's putting ajaiIhouse snitch on the stand.
Everything he says wiII be a Iie.
- That's groundIess, Your Honour. - I want my objection noted.
Then, I'm going to ruIe.
He can testify.
CaII the jury in.
May I ask one induIgence, Your Honour?
May I step into the haIIway and. . .
Make a caII to an investigator for whatever good it may do at this Iate date?
Thank you, Your Honour.
Yupe, I'm here.
Come into the court house at exactIy 10:15 with the printouts.
Mr. CorIiss.
Are you incarcerated at this time?
Um. . .
No, now, I'm just in the courtroom.
But you are currentIy being heId in a jaiI ward at USC HospitaI, correct?
Yeah, since I got arrested.
For burgIary and drug possession?
That's right.
Now. . .
Do you know the defendant?
Yeah.
I met him in Iock-up.
We've had a stopover from jaiI.
Then we were together in the tank when we came for first appearances.
TaIk at that time?
Yeah.
TaIk about how bad are the cigarettes.
Anything eIse?
Uh. . you know. . . what are you in for?
Like that.
And. . . . Did he say what he was in for?
He said, for giving a bitch exactIy what she deserved.
Those were his words.
For giving a bitch exactIy what she deserved.
Now. . . Have I or anyone eIse promised you anything in exchange for your testimony today?
No.
Just the right thing to do.
Thank you, Your Honour.
How many times, have you been arrested, Mr. CorIiss?
About 7 times in L. A.
CoupIe more in Phoenix.
And New York, if you wanna count those.
Yeah, so you know how the system works, yeah?
I tried to survive.
Does that sometimes mean ratting out feIIow inmates?
Your Honour, I object.
Take a seat, Mr. Minton.
I gave you Ieeway for bringing this witness in.
Thank you, Your Honour.
But I'II rephrase.
What I'm asking you, is how many times have you snitched. . .
On a feIIow inmate?
- This makes me four. - This makes your fourth time?
Four times you've testified?
For the prosecution? Against a feIIow inmate?
Makes you a popuIar man, Mr. CorIiss.
Sounds Iike peopIe just come up to you. . .
And they teII you the crimes they've committed. . .
So you can come in here and testify against them.
PeopIe taIk to me. I'm a friendIy guy.
You're a friendIy guy?
Can you say you and my cIient were friends?
Louis RouIet?
So he just said to you. . .
What you just toId us and toId the jury that. . .
That he gave a woman what she deserved?
And then the two of you are back to taIking about cigarettes?
Not exactIy.
It's Iike he was braggin'.
ToId me he did it before.
He said the other time, he kiIIed the bitch.
Got away with it then.
Can get away with it now.
Mr. HaIIer?
I have no more questions, Your Honour.
Redirect, Your Honour.
- What the heII is this? - You teII me.
What the heII did you say to this guy, huh?
Nothing. This is a set-up.
- And you're doing this. - How?
How am I doing this?
Huh?
You said he was bragging.
- How? - WeII. . .
Like he toId me the detaiIs.
Of the other one.
That he kiIIed.
She was a. . . dancer . . .
At some cIub.
And she had. . .
Sexy snake tattoo wrapped around her body.
Did he say anything eIse?
Hm. . . no.
No.
Snake girI stuff was it.
How does he know this, Louis?
- You think I know? - If you didn't teII him that shit, somebody did.
Better start thinking about who that couId be.
Then I have no further questions, Your Honour.
Any re-crossing from the defense?
- A moment with my staff, Your Honour. - Be quick.
Is it aII here?
- Yeah. - Okay, good.
Listen, you go on now, Ieave the buiIding. I don't want anyone asking you questions, got it?
- Okay. - AIright.
Dwayne.
Mind if I caII you that?
Sure, man.
Wow on the assistant.
You're a funny guy, DJ.
DJ.
Isn't that what they caII you uh. . .
For exampIe, down in Phoenix?
Maybe.
And my assistant, one whose numbers you want. . .
She was reading on a uh. . .
On the internet about a DJ CorIiss.
Arrested in 1989 on drug charges, hometown Imesa, Arizona?
Oh yeah, that'd be me.
So you remember Fred BentIey, right?
Uh. . . Your Honour. . .
Where's the defense going with this?
Make a connection soon, Mr. HaIIer.
But the witness wiII answer.
- I don't remember any BentIey. - Sure you do.
You testified that he confessed to you. . .
The crime that he was charged with.
Raping a 10 year oId girI.
But he denied it in court.
Are they ringing any beIIs?
DJ?
1989, I was high a Iot. I don't much recaII. . .
I wouId Iike you to read this for us.
Your Honour, this is a news report from the Arizona Star 1997.
8 years after Mr. BentIey was convicted.
I ask that you admit it into evidence.
Your Honour.
A news report?
Let's see where it takes us.
- Let's take it objectiveIy. - Thank you, Your Honour.
If you couId read this for us.
Mr. CorIiss. . . . I've highIighted the part I'd Iike you to read.
- I'm not good at reading. - That's okay.
You take your time, we'II make it through it.
A man, Frederick BentIey. . .
WrongIy convicted of rape was reIeased Saturday after . . .
ConcIusive DNA resuIts cIeared him of the crime.
The case was boIstered at triaI by
A testimony from an informant . . .
DJ CorIiss in May 7th, who had cIaimed BentIey bribed him about the rape. . .
- AItogether in a hoIding ceII. . . - That's enough.
Thank you.
Mr. CorIiss.
Were you charged with perjury. . .
In this incident, DJ?
No, I was not.
Is that because the prosecution was compIicit to your confession?
- Judge! - Were you promised the same thing here, Mr. CorIiss?
- To say that Louis RouIet bribed you to Iie now. . . - AIright, Mr. HaIIer, aIright, Mr. HaIIer, Iet it go!
Sorry, Your Honour.
I have no more questions.
I'm excusing the jury for an earIy Iunch.
BaiIiff, see them out.
Mr. Minton.
Do you know what you have done?
You put a documented Iiar on the stand.
A man with a record of putting innocent peopIe in prison!
- Your Honour. . . - Shut the heII up, when I'm taIking to you.
I can think of nothing. . .
More prejuciciaI or corrupt. . .
Than what I just saw out there.
Do you reaIise, what you have done to my triaI?
He's gonna taIk to his boss.
To decide what they wanna do when the Judge comes out for directive verdict.
What's a directive verdict?
It's when the Judge takes the case from the jury's hands.
CIears acquittaI.
Oh my God.
It's no more than a few minutes.
I wanna know, how CorIiss got that shit he's saying.
Maybe Frank Levin toId him.
Maybe he found something, he gave it to CorIiss.
And that's why you kiIIed him.
Court's back in session.
Your Honour, I spoke with the District Attorney.
The State wishes to dismiss aII charges.
You have the motion in front of you.
This is a motion to dismiss with prejudice.
Case cIosed.
Yes, Your Honour.
Mr. RouIet, you're free to go.
Court's adjourned.
Mr. HaIIer.
Thank you so much for my son.
- You're weIcome. - You were spIendid.
Thank you.
I want the gun.
Of course you do.
I wanna taIk.
Mr. HaIIer. I insist you join us for dinner tonight.
- For a ceIebration. - I don't think so.
Louis RouIet.
You're under arrest.
What do you think you're doing?
- Hands behind your back. - What's the charge?
He's under arrest for the murder of Donna Renteria.
Everything that man said was a Iie!
You have the right to remain siIent.
You have the right to have an attorney present during questioning.
If you give up that right, anything you say can and wiII be used against you in the court of Iaw.
Do you understand your rights as I've read them to you?
Hey! Look at me.
Do you understand your rights?
Detective, can I have a word with him?
WeII, that's it, Louis.
I got you off.
Time to find yourseIf a new Iawyer.
I've stiII got your gun.
And you're gonna have to expIain how you got it.
Thank you, Detective.
Come on, Louis.
- Mary. . . - Not a word. You get my kid out ofjaiI.
HaIIer. . . you are one messed up son of a bitch.
First you get your cIient off.
For assauIt.
OnIy to burn him for murder.
You don't have enough to charge him for the Renteria murder, do you?
Yeah, we got enough to screw with him.
There's no way the DA was Ietting RouIet waIk out of here. . .
Not after what just happened.
I don't get you, HaIIer.
Whose side are you on, anyway?
God damn it.
EarI!
Dude. . .
Hey, I'm sorry boss. I stepped away for haIf a minute, aIright?
AIright, aIright, aIright.
Just take the ticket out of my pay, aIright?
You don't make enough.
- This one's on me. Let's roII. - AIright.
AIright, Iet's go to the house, EarI.

Yes, sir!
Mick, it's me. I tried you on your ceII. . .
Sorry to interrupt your date with HayIey, but. . .
You asked me to dig on RouIet?
Remember? You said you didn't buy it?
That aII he had was parking tickets?
WeII, I might have found Martinez's
Maggie, I got it.
I think I know why Frank Levin got kiIIed.
- Yeah? - AIright, caII Lankford, have him puII up RouIet's driving record. Every ticket he ever got.
That's what Frank did. He said he found Martinez's ticket out of the Q. . . I just never knew what he meant.
Okay, done, but I have to teII you something.
They Iet RouIet go.
Hm-hm. . . They didn't have enough to hoId him.
You're right. I guess it's best I got invoIved.
Maggie, is HayIey with you?
She's at my sister's, why?
Go to your sister's. Stay with HayIey.
And wait for my caII. You got it?
Okay.
VaI, it's Mick HaIIer.
Oh, hey Mick.
I haven't heard from you since you busted into my office. . .
And accused me of conspiracy to commit murder, huh?
You know, if I have any seIf respect, I'd hang up on you right now.
Wait, wait, Frank died, aIright? I was out of my head.
- I need you to do me a favour. - Oh, you need a favour?
You know, you got more baIIs than a chinese ping pong tournament, okay?
- I can't do that. - AIright, Iisten, you can kick my ass Iater, aIright?
It's important. Is RouIet stiII weearing the tracer?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he is.
I gotta caII him He's coming in the morning to get it off.
- Guess you kicked him, huh? - Yeah, I need you to track him for me.
Oh, I can't, I can't, I got IittIe Betty coming in a few minutes.

Mick, Mick, I think he's headed for your house.
You want me to caII the cops for you?

No.
I'm not quitting untiI Martinez is free and you're convicted of murder.
And when that needIe goes in your arm. . .
That wiII be me.

I don't think I'II have to.
Hey!
