All Rise (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 9 - Safe to Fall - full transcript

Why is there a
decapitated deer head

being mounted in my chambers?

We are in for a ride.

There's no denying we've
always been good together.

I knew exactly what to do,

how to approach the
problem and solve it.

I had the skill. I
could see the path.

But you can't.

Em, hey.

Morning.

My God. I kept
you waiting all night.



I'm so sorry.

I kinda fell asleep
waiting for you.

So I'm the lucky one.

I spent the night
in a proper bed.

- You, on the other hand...
- I lost track of time.

The verdict is today.

Insanity plea and
attempted murder...

Not my favorite combo.

- Not picking up?
- It's my dad. I owe him a call.

I have to go home and change
before I... I hope I picked a good outfit.

You're a superhero.
Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Aw!
- Aw, look at that little face.



That's the Carmichael
smirk right there. Little hands.

- I'm not...
- No.

- No, me neither.
- Okay, good.

- It's just Bailey.
- She's so cute.

Ridiculously cute.

- I mean, maybe someday but...
- Yeah.

Not now.

Are you serious? The
"anti-police attorney"?

Is that what I am now?

Well, you knew
there'd be push back.

I guess I'd better
get used to it.

Rashel won't be my last.

That's fine, but
you can't do it alone.

- I know. I need a team.
- Callan army.

Rachel? What... the
hell happened to you?

And what is that smell?

Shut up, Callan.

I'm gonna be late for work,

but I definitely wanna hear
more about whatever this is.

Bye, baby. Good luck.

Come in. The pipes
burst at the office.

I was doing my
makeup in the bathroom.

And then I heard a
rattling in the cubicle,

and then the floor
started shaking, and then...

God. You came here? My
apartment is infested with bedbugs.

It's a long story.

I just really need to
get this yucky off of me.

Okay, mi baño es tu baño.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

It's so-quiet.

Shh. Shh.

Ms. Kansky.

Judge Carmichael,
how is the tiny human?

Not so little anymore.
They grow so fast.

Why did no one tell me?

She's actually taking
her fourth nap today.

Aren't you supposed to
be napping when they nap?

Isn't that the key to
sleep? I'll let you go.

No, it is actually
good to see your face.

Is that a smile I see?

Your Honor, Judge Laski is out,

and I undid his damage.

Sherri, you are a godsend.

It looks...

- Sherri.
- Yes.

Where's Uhura?

I... briefly moved her to clean.

God. Good. I almost
had a heart attack.

Looks like little
Bailey's waking up.

You know, I'll let you go.

"Uhura is safe... for now.

Return my stag, or you
shall never see her again."

Shh.

People of the
State of California

vs. Alfredo Castro.

He is present, and all
counsel are present.

Now the court has heard and
considered all of the evidence,

and now I will render a verdict.

As to count number
one, Attempted Murder,

the court finds the
defendant guilty as charged.

The court also finds that
the crime was committed

with willful, deliberate
premeditation.

Now that said, the
defendant entered a plea

of not guilty by
reason of insanity.

This concludes the guilt phase.

Is the defense ready to
proceed with the sanity phase?

We are, Your Honor.

All right, the court will be in
recess until 8:30 a.m. tomorrow.

We'll talk later, okay?

So what exactly happens now?

Well, the defense
will try to prove

that your brother
was illegally insane

- when he stabbed your father.
- Why is it so complicated

to send him to prison
for what he did?

Javier!

Papá

Javier, please.

Alfredo grabbed a
knife from the kitchen

and stabbed my
father, and yet my father

finds a way to be mad at me.

At me. What did I do wrong? I
saved his life! You've been so brave.

I'm tired of being
brave. I wanna feel safe.

Eva... Is there anything we
can do to avoid the sanity phase?

Alfredo was
already found guilty.

Ms. Lopez will try
to get your brother

sent to the state
hospital for treatment.

He's not crazy.
He was high again.

He knew exactly
what he was doing.

Alfredo doesn't
have schizophrenia

just because the
defense says he does.

Their doctor says he does,
but we have a strategy.

Our doctor found
that it's unclear

whether he suffers
from a mental illness,

and that is enough to
argue against their diagnosis,

plus there's no medical
records, no family history.

And that is why we
still have a great case.

If you hadn't there to
stop your brother's attack,

this would be a
murder trial, Eva.

I really do miss my brother,

but that person
doesn't exist anymore.

I am so sorry, Alfredo.

You work very
hard, Señorita Lopez.

I'm lucky to have
you as my lawyer.

When can I go home?

Alfredo, you can't...

Do you know what just happened?

- The judge found you guilty.
- It wasn't him.

I don't know how to
explain it, Ms. Lopez.

That night, it wasn't my father.

The Other took over him. I
would never hurt my family. I know.

And I need my family and the
judge to know that, too, okay?

I'll try, but it is
gonna get personal,

and I want you to be
ready for that, okay?

This phase determines
whether you're going to prison

or a state hospital.

The guilty verdict is one thing,

but the judge also found that
the crime was premeditated.

So, Alfredo... Now I'm
facing life in prison. I know.

I do remember that.

I am going to fight like hell

to not let that happen, okay?

I heard you got
the "guilty" verdict,

so I brought you
celebratory waffles.

I'm starving. Thank you.

We were hoping that Emily
would drop the insanity plea.

- She didn't.
- I'm not surprised.

She's not gonna give
in on a case like this.

- This is important to her.
- It's important to me, too.

It's horrible, what the trial's
doing to this poor family.

- Breaks my heart.
- Could you imagine

if your only sister
wanted you in prison?

- Maybe he is mentally ill.
- He isn't.

Hey, why did you take
a Lyft this morning?

I said I could drive you.

Who are we hiding from, Luke?

I'm pretty sure everyone
knows that we're...

Okay, but we're not
hiding. We're being discreet.

I thought you said
you were cool with this.

You are, right?

This is good.

I can't believe my boy
won't be coming home.

Javier, it doesn't help
when my client's family

doesn't believe he's ill.

All I know is that he needs
me. He needs his family,

and he needs to come home.

I know it's not that simple,
but there has to be a way.

Can Can you appeal?

It's not how it works.
I'm a public defender.

Our office doesn't
handle appeals.

But if you take the stand...

And say what? That he's crazy?

That he didn't recognize
you when he attacked you,

that he thought you
were an imposter,

that he wasn't
trying to kill you.

Your testimony can
save your son from prison.

Rotting in prison
or a state hospital

seems the same to me.

His life has been
taken away from him.

A state hospital is
not prison, Javier.

It's where he can go
to get the help he needs

to get better.

And you could visit
him whenever you want.

You could talk to him.
You could hug him.

Why won't you help your son?

What do you think I've
been doing his whole life?

You play golf?

No.

I just needed a change of view.

I'm stuck inside
here all the time.

Look at all these plants.

How do you keep them all alive?

My plants always die.

Well, they're not that complex.

Most people neglect
them and then wonder why

their favorite plants
turn brown and die.

You got the transcript.

- Is something wrong?
- No, no, no.

Some people replay conversations

over and over in their heads.

- I revisit transcripts.
- Why?

Sanity cases test
me like no others.

Now, Ms. Castillo, it
is gonna be a wild ride.

I suggest a game of poker
at lunch to calm our nerves.

What do you think?

Did you know that
poker for two people

is actually called Heads-up?

- Hey, Mark.
- Hey.

So this is where the
kings and queens play?

Not much of a kingdom.
Things have been different

since I put Deputy
Rashel behind bars.

Bravo went from
showing up at my house

to barely returning my
calls, and I get hate mail now.

Yeah, well, I knew you
didn't invite me for coffee,

so what do you need?

You. I need you. I want
you to come back to Trials.

Not everyone
enjoys the spotlight

as much as you, Callan.

You know, every
attorney can only stand

a finite number of trials,

and I have already
reached my limit.

Carver, I am running
a thick blue wall here.

You're the only person
who knows what that's like,

and somehow the cops still
respect the hell out of you.

That's because I
hold them accountable,

- and I don't suffer fools.
- Like in The People vs. Cooper.

They sent you down after
that case. What happened?

You know, I'm real
sorry that Special Trials

isn't so special
for you anymore,

but life's like that, Callan.

Get used to it.

I got your message.
Absolutely not.

Mark, what's the
big deal? It's Rachel.

I got a lot going on at
work, and having a guest...

It’s it’s too much.

Her apartment's being
treated for bedbugs,

and besides, I already said yes.

How the hell did
she get bedbugs?

Why does anyone get bedbugs?
So you're okay with it, right?

- He's excited to have you.
- Thank you so much.

It'll just be until I can
get into my apartment.

Okay. So where were we? Right.

I think I've come up with a
way for us to expand our brand,

to broaden our
clients' spectrum.

Let me pitch this to
you. Pro Bono work.

Amy, um... my apartment
isn't being treated for bedbugs.

- Spiders?
- No apartment.

I needed to downsize. I
haven't found a place yet.

I've been crashing
at the office.

My back hurts from
sleeping on the couch,

and this morning
is the first day

I've had a proper
shower in a week.

Why didn't you say something?

Well, I'm saying something now.

- Why don't you take my condo?
- No. I-I couldn't. I have

I've been renting it out.

I just need a couple
days to get it cleaned up.

But mi condo, tu condo.

Just until I can find
a cheaper apartment.

Thank you.

All right. Not bad for
a first-timer, all right?

I doubt this is your first time.

So how are your grandparents?

I heard your store was looted.

How did you... Heard you were
helping them with the repairs.

Yes, they have finally reopened.

I couldn't be happier for them.

They're just the hardest
working people I know.

You're a good kid, Ms. Castillo.

The Castro case
is pretty stressful.

Judge Delgado cornered me
to talk about the deficiencies

of mental health
resources in prison,

lectured me for 20 minutes

on how I need to consider
all of the sanity evidence.

Number onel know this.

Number two burden’s
on the defense, not me.

Number three haven't heard
the sanity phase yet, so...

Maybe you should add a
suggestion box to your office.

I like you.

Crap. Wait. Who is
the small blind again?

Me.

Hey. Is Kiara here?

She just left. What do you need?

Look, you and I both
know how the trial

absolutely destroyed
the Castros.

It's not too late to
stipulate to insanity

and just end this.

He's not mentally ill.

He thought his father
was an imposter, Sam.

Our experts see it differently,

and the Castros need justice.

They also need
compassion. You know what?

You don't know what
it's like to be Latino

and come from a community
where therapy is frowned upon

and is only for
people who are crazy.

Please don't tell me what I
know and don't know, Emily.

You don't know me. Well, you
clearly don't know what it's like

to have a father who
is in absolute denial

about his son's mental
illness and a sister who thinks

that her brother's
mental breakdown

is nothing more than him
just being high on drugs.

Drugs were found in
his system that night.

He's completely sane,

and he knew perfectly
well what he was doing.

A mentally ill man has
been self-medicating

throughout his entire
life because he has had

no one to help him
seek proper treatment.

You don't stab someone
three times by accident.

If you can't see how the stigma
is affecting Javier and Eva,

then you need to
educate yourself.

Lola's gonna kill someone.
Judge Carmichael can't find out.

All right, whoever took the
stag head had to be seen.

They had to go past security.

- And elevators.
- And elevators.

He could have taken the stairs.

What? That's eight
floors. I don't know, Sherri.

That's some intense Pilates. You're
right. We're over complicating this.

You study the judges' calendar
for the names of anyone

who came in on
the day of the crime.

- Where are you going?
- To interrogate Security.

Rachel.

- What are you...
- Breakfast.

It's the least I can do for
you guys letting me stay here.

Come on, Mark. It's not like I
haven't seen you... Morning.

- Hey.
- Morning.

Hi.

I'm gonna go take a shower.
Can't wait for breakfast.

- It's Lola.
- Lola. Can I say hi?

It's about a case.

Lo. Mark, what do you
think it means if Bailey cries

every time I read her this book?

Do you think she's getting
sick of the sound of my voice?

Impossible. She's probably
just sick of the book.

Hey, listen, Lo. I
need some help.

I need you to call Rachel
and get her out of my house.

Rachel is at your house? Yeah,
apparently she's having problems

with her apartment or something.

Why didn't she call me? She didn't call
me. She just showed up out of the blue.

She hasn't even seen Bailey.

- Wow, I didn't know that.
- Just tell Rachel how you feel.

You know, you two have
always been able to talk.

So... how are things
at work? Any better?

Well, I'm considering bringing
Tony Carver on the team.

Carver has been at the CEU for

- 20 years, I know.
- The man is a legend.

Yeah, well, he, he
kinda blew me off.

Of course he did. He knows
it's not gonna be that simple.

Talk to Choi. See
if it's even possible.

And don't worry about Rachel.

Actually, now
that you mention it,

- your voice is kinda screechy.
- You are evil.

Bye.

I just got off the phone with our
psychiatrist. Good news, I hope.

Alfredo could be suffering from
schizoid personality disorder.

We already knew that.
No, not schizophrenia.

Schizoid personality disorder.

- And the difference is?
- It's huge.

And I would like to do
a cross-examination.

Samantha, you've been
doing a remarkable job.

Kiara, I can do this. It has
nothing to do with your abilities.

- It's about experience.
- You'll be right there.

The moment that you ask
me to sit down and take over,

we'll switch.

Look.

What am I looking at?

Our smoking gun.

Dr. Johnson, did
you reach a diagnosis

when you evaluated
Alfredo Castro?

Yes, I did. Schizophrenia.

And can you
please tell the court

what the main symptoms
of schizophrenia are?

Lack of normal thinking,
withdrawal, lack of interest.

Exaggerated ideas such as
hallucinations or delusions.

Could you please tell us
what the Capgras delusion is?

Whoever's suffering from
it has this irrational belief

that a person close to him

has been replaced
by an imposter.

In your opinion, is it
possible that Mr. Castro

could have been experiencing
a Capgras delusion

- on the night in question?
- Yes.

Thank you. Nothing
further, Your Honor.

All right. Prosecution may
cross-examine the witness.

For how long have you been a
licensed psychiatrist? 22 years.

Are you familiar with schizoid
personality disorder? Yes, I am.

Is it true that SPD does not

cause delusions
or hallucinations?

Meaning that a person
suffering from SPD maintains

a complete understanding
of their surroundings

and is therefore
completely sane at all times?

Yes.

Are you familiar with the
book onscreen, Dr. Johnson?

Um, yes, we use it as a
standard diagnostic reference.

Isn't it true that in order

to get an official
diagnosis of schizophrenia,

a person has to show at least
two of the following symptoms

most of the time for a month,

and some mental disturbance
over six months. Yes, that's true.

Now you, Dr. Johnson,
a licensed psychiatrist

for 22 years,
diagnosed the defendant

with schizophrenia after
only a couple of hours?

Objection. Calls for
speculation and argumentative.

No. Overruled. You may answer.

That is correct.

Is it possible that you could
have misdiagnosed Alfredo?

Objection. Leading
and prejudicial.

It's a fair question,
Ms. Lopez. Overruled.

It's possible but not likely.

Is it possible that Alfredo has
SPD and not schizophrenia?

Anything's possible.

Is it possible that on
the night in question,

Alfredo acted solely
on the influence of drugs

and was not experiencing
symptoms of schizophrenia?

Yes, it is possible.

No further questions.

Carver hasn't had

a courtroom
assignment in decades.

Any trial would be a challenge.

Trials are challenging for
anyone, and I need the help.

After 20 years, I guarantee
Carver will never return

to the level of
trial competence.

He'll come on. He'll
start as my second chair.

I'll only assign him cases
involving the prosecution...

Carver will not
work in any other unit

while I'm still working
here. Is that clear?

Is this personal? Did something
happen between you two?

I've made my decision, Callan.

I wish you were in court today.

I was able to make
everyone consider

an alternative diagnosis.

I totally buried
Emily's witness.

Hey. Don't underestimate
her. She can bounce back.

Whoa. How about "Congrats,
Sam. Proud of you, girl"?

Of course all of
that. I just mean...

Listen, I can't say
much, but I'm guessing

that this case is affecting her.
Affecting her, yeah. She was rude, Luke.

She came at me condescending
and ready to argue,

- and you're defending her?
- No, I'm not defending her.

I'm just saying
that this case is...

Important to her,
right, right, right.

Have you thought about
how it's important to me?

This is my first real
cross-examination,

and I was terrified to
go up against the woman

that you clearly
still care about.

- Sam, come on.
- Um, I have work to do.

I am not taking the stand.

I already said no, but
yet, here you are again.

Trust me, Javier, I
wouldn't be asking again

if I didn't have to.

You are not just my best
option. You are my only option.

You don't understand.

Okay, then help me understand.

What would change if you
admit that your son needs help?

Would you... would
you love him less?

- No, never.
- Then what?

What would keep
you from doing...

My mother.

She went from mental
hospital to mental hospital,

never getting better.

What was her diagnosis?

Schizophrenia.

I asked you before
the trial, Javier,

if there was any mental
illness in your family,

and you said no.

You know how hard it is.

This could have been
entered as evidence.

We We would've been
in much better shape.

All I'm trying to do is
to protect my family.

I protected her.
I'll protect my son.

Your son's mental
illness almost killed you,

and now it's gonna kill him

if he doesn't get the
help that he needs, Javier.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Hey, how's it going with Sam?

What do you mean? Isn't
it, like, weird and awkward?

You've been a little tense.

The problem isn't
with Sam. It's this case.

Eva's influencing
the prosecution.

She has zero compassion
for her brother whatsoever,

and Javier is in total denial.

You're not prosecuting
the family here, Em.

You're defending Alfredo.

You need to get in a room
with Kiara Foster and Sam

- I don't wanna deal.
- I know you don't,

but no one else is
working with you here, Em,

so you might as well
work with the D.A.

You are wound up.

I'm okay. I'm just... I don't
know, a little stressed.

You know.

This isn't about
the case, is it?

It's Javier. He...

He reminds you of your dad.

This is totally different, Em.

Your dad would understand
if you just talk to him.

Don't you have a
bathroom in your room?

Amy's using it, but go.

No, no. I gotta take
a shower. You go.

Okay.

What a surprise.

Rachel Audubon with
a working cellphone.

Lola, Mark is being weird.

It's like he's avoiding
me in his own house.

His and Amy's house.
Don't forget that.

I can't forget that. I
think he thinks less of me

because I'm... I'm
crashing on his couch.

Mark would never
think less of you.

He just needs his space.

And you need to tell me
why you haven't been here

to meet Bailey yet.

What are you talking
about? Didn't get my present?

I got your presents,
Rach, but... It's not safe.

I'm a COVID risk for you two.

My life's a mess. I've
been running all over town.

I don't even have a place
to live. Yeah, you know

that my guest house is
yours whenever you need it.

I know. Amy offered
me her condo.

Can I call you later?

Bye, Bailey! Mwah, mwah, mwah.

Ms. Lopez, a
knock would be nice.

Smoothie?

If I lose the sanity phase,

Alfredo will be facing
life in prison. Life.

Help me avoid that.

Alfredo's grandmother
had schizophrenia.

Javier just told me.

But he is unwilling to testify,
and I do not have the time

to get the medical
records from Mexico.

Why is Javier refusing?

Because he thinks that
he's protecting his son.

Or he knows that
Alfredo was entirely aware

of what he was doing.

No. No. It’s it’s stigma.

He is afraid of what
people will think of his family

if he tells the truth, and I...

Like me, I'vel've been
in therapy for a year now,

and I Wow, that's the first
time I've said it out loud.

We're so afraid to
be seen as different,

to be seen as
vulnerable, and why?

Why is it so hard to be real
with the people that we love?

Because once we
do, it's out there,

and it is real.

Ms. Lopez, I appreciate
you sharing this,

but my position still stands.

I know that schizophrenia
can be genetic,

but just because
you have those genes

doesn't necessarily mean
that you will develop the illness.

He stabbed his
father three times.

He's a dangerous man.

For the record, please
state your whereabouts

on February 8th of this year.

You do realize there's
nowhere we can go.

I asked a question, and that
does not seem like an answer.

- Home.
- Home. A likely story.

Judge Benner? I did not
take Laski's stag head.

Judge Benner, you seem on edge.

If there's no stag
head and no Uhura,

you are facing the wrath
of not one but two judges,

and I for one, do not
wanna see Lola upset.

So yes, I'm nervous.
I'm nervous for you.

- Did you talk to security?
- She did.

My report indicates
that no human was seen

or caught on camera
carrying a stag head.

- The stairs.
- More than likely,

but I am more curious
on who had access

to Judge Carmichael's chambers.

We would never hurt Lola.

Intentionally, no, but
unintentionally, you did.

All right. You can
intentionally or unintentionally

exclude me from
the list of suspects.

I've got some work
to do. Ms. Castillo?

Sorry.

All right. Someone
who had access

to the building after hours.

Someone who was
fit enough to carry

a decapitated animal carcass
down eight flights of steps.

Someone who wants
revenge on Laski.

Someone who cares about Lola.

I have to say, Ms. Kanski,
you have a talent for this.

It is... so obvious.

Choi?! You went to Choi?!

- Just hear me out, okay?
- I cannot come back, son!

Nobody wants me up
there! It's been too long!

What happened in
the Cooper case?

You filed charges
against an LAPD officer,

excessive force after a
young Black man is wounded.

Judge rules "not guilty."

Now I know that's
not the whole story.

The defense
wanted a bench trial.

I pushed for a jury trial.

I wanted my downtown
jury, my jurors of color.

My boss overruled me,
and I had to waive jury,

so the case went to
trial before Judge Collins.

Collins was tough, but he
had a reputation for being fair.

- He ruled "not guilty."
- So?

So I lost it. Right there
in front of everybody,

I lost my temper, and
I accused that judge

of not having the
nerve to rule "guilty"

because Cooper wore a badge.

- You weren't wrong.
- I wasn't right either, Callan.

I should have
handled it differently.

Maybe it's time for you to
pick up where you left off.

Think about it. Retirement
can't be that far off, right?

How nice would it
be to come full circle,

you finish back on top?

I really appreciate what
you're doing, Callan.

I really do, but do me a favor?

Leave it alone.

You have a way with Tony Carver.

He won't let me help him.
You can't fix everything, Callan.

Look, I'm leaving tomorrow,

so you can either
have that beer with me,

or you can continue avoiding me.

I'm not avoiding you. I'm...

Just been swamped at
work, and I'm... stressed out.

The Mark I know talks nonstop

when he's stressed
and swamped at work.

Can I ask you...
why'd you come here?

The firm's not doing well.

And I guess I just wanted
to feel safe for a couple days.

I mean, why didn't
you go to Lola's?

You know how much I love Lola.

But COVID's been a lonely time,

and seeing her with
Bailey and Robin,

I'm scared I'll never have that.

You are Rachel frickin'
Audubon, all right?

You'll be fine.

You think?

Yeah.

You always make me feel
like I can take on the world.

Rachel, I'm.

I can't take the
stand, Señorita Lopez.

I mean, doctors can't even
agree on what's happening to me.

How much help can I be?

Listen...

A few years ago,
I suffered trauma,

and it took me a while to
accept that I needed help.

You were sick, too?

I was wounded.

And I couldn't heal alone. I

I couldn't even
talk to my father.

I

I was so scared,
just like you are now.

And I understand

how hard this is, I do.

But I'ml'm just asking
you to be braver than I was.

All you have to
do is tell the truth

what thoughts were
going on in your head,

how you were
feeling, what we are...

Why are you telling me
all these things right now?

Because your father won't
testify, Alfredo, but you can.

- No, I can't.
- We're running out of options...

No!

Okay. Hey.

I'm s... Um, I didn't
mean to stress you out.

I thought you were
gone. Why are you back?

Back? Alfredo? It's me, Emily.

No. I know who you are.
You stay away from me!

Look at me. Look at me. What
did you do to Señorita Lopez?!

It's Emily Lopez...

Señorita Lopez! If you're
in there, can you hear me?!

Calm down. Señorita Lopez,
I'm not gonna let him hurt you!

- Guard! Guard?!
- I'm not gonna let him...

- Guard, please...
- Señorita Lopez!

I'm not gonna let him.

Alfredo had an
episode last night.

Is he okay? They gave
him some medication.

He didn't know who I was.

He didn't recognize me.
It was really hard to watch,

and I can't imagine how
hard it must have been for you.

Alfredo is facing
life in prison.

I have tried to work
with the prosecution,

but it's not happening.

His episode could be grounds

to have him declared
mentally incompetent,

so I-I can push for a mistrial
if you're okay with that.

I don't have money to get
him treatment on my own.

I want him to get better.

You say I can visit him
in the state hospital, right?

Yes.

Would it help if the judge
knows about my mother?

I don't have time to get
any evidence to prove that.

Is it too late for
me to testify?

He was confused. He
kept calling me an imposter,

asking me not
to hurt his father.

There was fear in his eyes.

I was just trying to understand
where all this was coming from.

Is there any history of
mental illness in your family?

My mother had schizophrenia.

By the time she was diagnosed,

the illness had
fully taken over.

Hospitals didn't seem to help.

I had no idea what
was happening to her.

Everyone abandoned her. I
didn't want that for my son.

Mr. Castro, have you
witnessed on multiple occasions

over the past six months
any behaviors from your son

that may mirror your mother's
schizophrenic symptoms?

Objection. We all know
what she's doing, Your Honor.

Yes, we do. The witness
may answer the question.

Every day.

Lo siento, mijo.

Judge.

Please.

Send him where they
can help him, Your Honor.

Please?

Mija.

You should have told
me. I had a right to know.

You let me believe he
was a reckless addict.

The first time I've ever heard

about his illness
was here, in court.

All this time, you knew.

- I wanted to be wrong.
- We wouldn't be here

if you would've just
talked to me, Papá.

I could have helped.

I apologize on Callan's
behalf for wasting your time.

Why'd you call this meeting,
then, just to watch us beg?

Yeah, I'm not doing that.
You have a good day, fellas.

Judge Collins was a good
man. I was there that day.

- How old are you?
- I was a young D.A.

Judge Collins was
not only my mentor,

but he also helped
me find my career path.

And your outburst set
a few things in motion,

including a formal
grievance filed against Collins.

Yeah, but only one
of us got punished.

You see, Mark, one
loud moment in your life

can define the rest of it,

no matter how much good
you've done before that.

Life is like that... at
least it is for some of us.

Well, I look at Carver, right?

I read about his old
cases, the work that he did.

And it makes me wanna do better.

I want change, and
I know you do, too,

but we need all
the help we can get.

Do you wanna come back?

- Do you want me back?
- We need to take this to Bravo.

But I think we can make it work.

- That's all I need for now.
- Whoa, what does that mean?

As you get older, Mark,
your priorities change.

We see each other
differently now,

and that tops any
job offer for me.

That said, if you
get a Special Trial,

and you feel that
it's special enough

go ahead and call me.

The prosecution may
cross-examine the witness.

Your Honor, no
questions for the witness.

The People are willing
to enter into a stipulation

as to the issue of
the defendant's sanity

and concede that
he was legally insane

when he committed the crime.

Ms. Lopez, are you
willing to stipulate?

Yes...

Yes, Your Honor.

Very well. The court will
accept that stipulation,

and on that basis,
find the defendant

was legally insane at
the time of the offense.

Alfredo Castro...

You will be committed

to the Department
of State Hospitals

for care and
treatment forthwith,

and that will be the order.

Thank you, Ms. Lopez.
I'm so grateful. Thank you.

Yeah, you know?

Hey! Sam, Kiara, I just
wanted to say thank you.

You were both kind
and fair throughout,

and the D.A. needs
more people like you.

Appreciate that. Thank you.

Hey, Sam.

Really, thank you.

That was nice.

No, no, no. That
one's still moist.

These in particular
have to dry out completely

before being watered again.

Few things sadder than
a post-holiday poinsettia.

Hey, Judge Campbell, can I ask,

why do you hate
sanity cases so much?

Mental illness
affects many families.

Mine's one of 'em.

You know, I just needed
a little light, some fun.

I thank you for both. You are
a good man, Judge Campbell.

You've been an absolute
pleasure to work with.

It would be an honor if you
would consider working for me.

No pressure. Just
promise you'll think it over.

Sherri, is everything okay?

That depends, Mr. Callan,
on how honest you are.

Am I supposed to
be following this?

Laski took Uhura. He
wants his stag head back.

Sherri, I would never...

On the night of February 8th,

you waited until everyone left,

and you used the
copy of your extra key

to get into the building.

I don't have keys
to Lola's chambers.

She gave you one for
emergencies during her pregnancy.

Nothing's gonna happen to
Uhura, and I'll deal with Laski.

You'd better.

Sam?

I'm sorry I didn't show my
support the way you needed it.

I'm really proud of
you. Sam, you killed it.

Thanks. I'm proud, too.

Should we celebrate?

Wine and dine,
pandemic style? I cook?

I actually wanna go home.

Understandable.
You had a big day.

I can't do this anymore.

This?

This... situation-ship,
this entanglement,

this "I want this, but I
don't want that." I can't.

Okay, I-I didn't know.

I thought you were okay with our
understanding. I was. I'm not anymore.

You kept saying that
we would talk later,

- and later never came.
- Sam

I've been putting
your needs first,

and I completely
forgot about my own.

And I justl wanna
feel safe to fall in love.

So you're breaking up with me?

We're just friends.
There's nothing to break.

- I love it.
- Yeah?

Yeah.

You never actually told me why

you named your organization
"More Than Three."

In 2016, I was part of an event

that changed my life.

U.S. Customs and
Border Protection

opened the gate
for three minutes

so thousands of
families could hug.

Can you imagine that?

Only three minutes?

Families deserve to be together
for more than three minutes.

You reunite immigrant
families, and I'm here panicked

about having to talk
with my dad tomorrow.

Why are you so afraid?

Um...

My ex-husband... hit
me, and land I just

I needed help to heal from it,

and that takes a little time.

I'm finally at a place
where I feel like

I'm reconnecting with myself.

Wait. Your dad doesn't know? I
told him that we got divorced because

my ex wanted kids
and I didn't, but...

My dad raised me to be tough.

And I just... I didn't want him

to think differently of me.

I didn'tl didn't want him
to know that his daughter,

that his his baby
girl... was that weak.

You're not weak.

We have the right to be safe
when we're not at our best.

You're safe to fly or
fall with me, Lawyer Bae.

Come here.

Well, something smells
good in the kitchen.

What's the occasion?

We finally have our
house to ourselves.

Where is Rachel? She has
not been picking up her phone.

She said she had
a family emergency.

She went to stay with
her cousin or something.

So... start looking for
tenants for your condo.

I was thinking I
would sell the condo.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I already have a home.

I love you.

Wow.

Boy. Wow. I justl
said that. Yeah.

I love you, too, Callan.

So... what's for dinner?

Did I ever tell you

that I make the most
unbelievable lasagne?

No way.
