Jessica Nash I think you should come to



dinner with me tonight oh that's sweet

Scott but what I'm I'm too young and we

work together no it's just that he

deserves somebody so much better than me

oh yes that tropical island you've been

fantasizing about a couple weeks from

tree alone okay Jess it's the usual drop

location and if you decide that you're

hungry my offer still stands

[Music]

whoa wait what's with the hardware

Jessica's been ripping me off and that

was just about to end

[Music]

emergency calling from the playpen

I think someone's about to be killed

[Music]

goodnight kiss Miss Mary darlin you seem

nervous

just shoot her she's already dead man

she was dead the second she stuck her

hand in that cookie jar oh my god put

her in the trunk do it

you can join her

all right now get rid of her and get rid

of the car Wayne this is crazy Brooks

Katya do you want to live right okay

okay right

[Music]

[Music]

right problem officers no we just got a

nine one one call regarding some

possible incident would you put in the

trunk nothing yeah well I guess somebody

must have dropped it look man there's no

dead body in there all right so if it's

all the same to you how did you know

we're we're looking for a murder always

said it was incident did you mind

opening the trunk yeah was my man unless

you got a warrant never heard of

probable cause means we don't need a

warrant I don't even think we need

probable cause this thing's not even

latched and what did you find in the

trunk officer crews money with the girls

blood all over it objection your honor

the blood evidence has not been linked

to the alleged to CD yet yet mr. Blake

well of course not yet you don't even

have a body to match it to come on let's

move this along I got a family to get

home to what else did you find in the

trunk officer crews a nine-millimeter

beretta objection your honor I move that

both the gun and the money be excluded

as evidence because the search was

illegal we've already been through this

in the preliminary hearing hello are you

in Judge Taylor's courtroom now mr.

Blake no no you're in my courtroom and

in my courtroom I make the decisions now

both of you sit down and shut up

it's the opinion of this court that

Officer Granger and officer Cruz didn't

have anything even remotely resembling

probable cause for the search of the

defendants car therefore defense motion

is granted contents of the trunk or

ruled inadmissible

[Music]

how they know could a judge do that why

do you think he got the name Hank Matt

Halloran from stringing up criminals not

cops

well he's an equal-opportunity fascist

okay so where do we stand now either we

find our missing witness Scotstoun or

when Stiles walks man this is all

personal Helen thinks I got a

get-out-of-jail-free card and Father

Damien confessed in my trial I hate to

tell you this partner but a lot of

people think that a lot of people are

judging this murder case for us hey Cruz

where are we going Bobby don't do this

radio chatter and I know this is highly

irregular well I try to stop them

[Music]

maybe that's a pretty good idea

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Oh

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

highly your regular you guys come

storming into my chambers without

knocking and that's the best you can

come up with with all due respect judge

highly irregular describes what your

Ridge is doing in here and whatever you

guys think you saw in here

this is private what we think we saw um

judge you know you're absolutely right

we probably didn't get a good look and

it's none of our business

anyway Oh none of our business the hell

it isn't

a Mary judge doing some broad in his

chambers the same judge who just ruled

our search improper she happens to be a

student of mine a law clerk very bright

with a very big future so then it's okay

whoo I happen to see with the full

knowledge and permission of my wife

who's been in a wheelchair since her

accident wheelchair yeah we were skiing

in Aspen two years ago our 25th wedding

anniversary we were outside the boundary

line so you must have read about it in

the newspaper

geez judge

I'm really sorry to hear that we had no

idea well it's not something I discuss

for obvious reasons and as far as those

insinuations about my ruling on evidence

hey you guys know my reputation if it

was halfway to a decent search I would

have allowed it yes sir

I'm sorry I had no right to bust in here

well we all make mistakes I'll forget it

if you will I think that's our cue now

let's get out of here

[Music]

about your wife judge again I'm really

sorry go ahead and find that witness

you'll go a long ways toward making your

case officers

[Music]

no body no weapon out stone man they got

nothing

trust me whatever rock you signed under

he's not gonna want to come out and get

slapped with an accessory rap yeah the

cops find him they're gonna offer him

immunity to testify against me I can't

risk that risk management

my specialty well what am I looking at

50 grand money-back guarantee I had half

up front the restaurant delivery even

talk to my lawyer he knows where my cash

is buried consider it done now what

about the girl the girl it's a problem

what does she understand everything that

I want her to do and that she doesn't

have a choice I'm just about to remind

her that a woman is missing we find

money with blood on it a gun that was

recently fired and all that is

meaningless guys the law is the law yeah

but what about what is right lieutenant

where does that fit in you heard what

Halloran said our best bet is finding

Scott stone yeah but I really we've got

anonymous turned up cold then put Jamie

Monica inside the club it's the only

thing our players have in common they're

gonna love that

you know um normally I wouldn't suggest

this because I think it's beneath us but

um maybe we could use what we saw in

Halloran's Chamberlain stop I am NOT

gonna be a part of trying to influence

the ruling of a judge the guy is gonna

walk so you two would just like the

ruined Halloran's life to get a

conviction no no it would never go that

far we just threatened a little leak put

the idea in his head forget about it

it's not gonna happen

I don't care how you try and soft-pedal

this it is still blackmailing a judge

okay I just thought maybe I should bring

it up don't bring it up again in fact if

I were you I'd forget about what I saw

easy for you to say so I guess this

brings us back to Scott stone how the

hell we gonna find this guy I have to be

a stripper again no way Sarge this is

not what I signed up at the academy for

look I had no I have to meet myself in

the past partying undercover is not

demeaning yourself what if you were

Jessica Nash's sister what I'm doing

this made the difference between a

killer getting the punishment he

deserves are going free that is not fair

we're cops

there has nothing to do with it

[Music]

settle down pay what is gonna hurt you

yeah yeah isn't that better

do you want I got a message from Wayne

Stiles he wants the judge in the bag by

tonight

are you in a steel drawer by tomorrow

guess again

what the hell it is you stay here be

seven 60-second Pacific and for suitable

black navigator request me back damn

show me you got the plate number no

plate how's the girls she's okay but she

split I got one for you that guy in the

black navigator I think I saw him in

Helens courtroom today yeah well I got a

better one the girl he was chasing was

Halloran's law student

there's no doubt about it the woman was

definitely a Lord's law clerk well get

the judge howling through the girl then

why does she stick around the talk to us

unless there's some connection between

Halloran and Wayne Styles maybe a

connection that she didn't want us to

know about if you're implying judicial

misconduct you're gonna have to give me

more than maybe like what probable cause

this is personal with you isn't it no

it's not yes it is you want to get back

at Halloran for throwing out your

evidence hey that was a righteous search

we made okay it doesn't matter how we

get there as long as Stiles ends up on

death row you know this is kind of

thinking they got your evidence thrown

out in the first place

Cory's right Halloran may have made our

lives tough here but he's a damn good

judge he's backed us up more often than

not so we're gonna get the Stiles we're

gonna do it without dragging Halloran

through the mud

[Music]

We Need to Talk the girl may be a bigger

problem than we thought

you explained her options and no

uncertain terms we're back in court

tomorrow she has to come through by then

what if she doesn't my clients life is

on the line he's depending on you don't

let him down

[Music]

hey how's it going counselor I got a

message you wanted to see me yeah I

thought maybe we could go over your

testimony again see if there's any

pieces of evidence we could still use

yes absolutely will Blake well you're

looking terrific as always how's that

killer forehand still being neutralized

by a worthless back-end I'm afraid good

to see you this oh um Bobby Cruz Santa

Monica's finest it's meatless Halloran

Halloran as in judge J Gunnar Heller

that's right

wait you mean yours wait unless there's

another one I don't know about do you

ski oh no listen it was nice to meet you

officer Cruz will I'll see you at the

club

sure bye bye that sick no-good lying

perfect Oh

three guesses

[Applause]

so you both worked in Honolulu that's

right

rocks on golden dolls but we hear the

tips are better here especially for

those little extras if you know what I

mean okay show me what you got

dream on we'll audition but only alright

you passed the first test you can dance

you can wait tables that's not fair

this is a strip club there's nothing to

do with it well then maybe you'll change

your mind later maybe

still can't believe it which part that

Halloran would lie through his teeth or

that someone would actually marry the

bastard you think his wife has any clue

she will soon along with the rest of the

world wants that tupis sounded [ __ ] of

his to dismiss himself in the case yeah

Granger yeah we'll be right there silent

alarm just went off at 1100 fourth

Street isn't that the Criminal Courts

Building yeah let's go you've been found

guilty you need to be punished you're

getting there I throw myself on the

mercy of the court

do exactly as I say

what's that hell I thought I'd seen it

all will you see what happens when I get

you guys for stalking me

correction Your Honor we're

investigating a silent alarm that went

off here I didn't set off any alarm well

then whoever did may still be in the

building

maybe it's the same clown that chased

your girlfriend on the beach this

afternoon

go ahead judge ask her so what happened

on the beach

[Music]

the guy from the beach all right great

so what do I win

[Music]

her name is Patti Wolfson and no she's

not my law clerk what a surprise

look you think this is easy for me do I

care why don't we cut to the bottom line

your honor

okay I have an addiction to sex

I got to have it and have it a lot and

since my wife does doesn't what this

wouldn't be the same crippled for life

accident victim I met bounding into the

courthouse now would it what you see for

lying there covering up that's all part

of it

so this Patti Wolfson is is what near

sex therapist who I see with a full

knowledge and consent of my wife that

part is true I swear look I'll take you

to her office I'll show you her

certification she's got her master's

from UCLA now let's just say that we

even bought that who's the guy in the

black navigator Patti says it's an

ex-boyfriend who still hung up on her

what if we told you he knows Wayne

styles and that he may be using Patti to

get to you no Patti would have told me

they might you run from us this

afternoon she was trying to protect me

come on look we're all guys here I'm

asking for your help from the same cops

whose evidence you bounced helping a guy

we all know is guilty look that was the

courtroom officer Cruz this is my

personal life I never connected to I

suggest you don't either Your Honor if

you would like for us to keep this as

our secret and get back to business as

normal it's gonna cost you cost me what

I believe your judgment is clouded not

only off the bench but on it as well I

suppose that has something to do with

your love life I'm listening

get help stay focused on the trial and

we will leave your personal affairs

alone okay

[Music]

[Music]

well congratulations you no longer on

employed

[Applause]

who's that Oh her name's Betty Wilson

she works there on the weekends

Patti Wolfson isn't that the name of

Halloran sex therapist yeah see her

degree hanging in here anywhere call

your next witness mr. Curran defense

calls lieutenant Susan Jessup Santa

Monica Police Department internal

affairs objection Your Honor I fail to

see what relevance this witness has to

these proceedings mr. Tiburon quite

simple I plan to show a pattern of

criminal misconduct in the police duties

of officers Granger and Cruz if it

please the court sit down mr. Blakeley

stager he'll have all the time you need

to cross-examine you're not gonna let

this in is he telling you how to run

your Court your honor

don't push it mr. Tiburon lieutenant

aren't you understand yet what the hell

was Halloran doing I'd say feeding you

to the wolves after that tap dance last

night

that's it I'm blowing the whistle

lieutenant Jessup in your capacity as an

internal affairs investigator you have

had contact with officers Granger and

Cruz multiple contacts yes in my

department we refer to these two as the

Teflon cops objection sustained you're

on a real short chain here counselor

don't test me and make me yank it of

course your honor lieutenant Jessup

these multiple contacts you described

have they all shared a common thread yes

they've all concerned allegations of

misconduct in the handling of evidence

specifically the planting of evidence

objection is the court forgetting that

the key evidence in this case has

already been disallowed this is a

blatant ambush by the defense intended

to undermine the credibility of officers

Cruz and Granger yeah like that's even

possible objection your honor is making

overtly prejudicial statements and

you're very close to a contempt citation

mr. Blake

okay look lure the lateness of the hour

I'm gonna hold lieutenant Jessup to

testimony over until the morning this

Court is in recess until 9:00 a.m.

[Music]

better get your beauty rest gentlemen

you're gonna need

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

nothing yet we're keeping an eye on

Patti

we'll keep the other one on this team

[Music]

what are you doing I was just looking

for someone to party with you know

someone who let me dance the customers

are thirsty okay we'll talk later yeah

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

it's me I know you said not to call but

something's happened

yeah something bad I need to see you you

know where

are you okay why'd you call sorry I

called I'm scared I didn't know what to

do

[Music]

lowlife Pig hey I'm not the one on my

knees breathe please put the gun down

now

[Music]

[Applause]

you okay I don't believe this why don't

you tell us you were getting blackmailed

well you'll probably find this hard to

believe but I don't know what the hell

you're talking about

yeah it's hard to believe your therapist

is stripper but I got a hundred

witnesses at a club called the playpen

we had a deal my personal life and the

case stays separate you want to help

stay the hell away and in that criminal

case the people versus Robert Cruz what

crime was the defendant charged with

objection your honor mr. Cruz was

acquitted overall he's just trying to

establish a pattern intentional

destruction of evidence in a murder case

officer Cruz was acquitted based on

questionable testimony by Father Damien

crane and there were allegations

specific to officer Granger as well

Granger went undercover in a college

betting sting over $100,000 in evidence

money disappeared I lost that money

that's how we made our case put a lid on

it Granger and there's a more recent

case involving the removal of three

pounds of heroin from the SFPD evidence

lockup I can't comment on an ongoing

investigation but she can't dredge up a

relevant material from cases she's lost

and proceed mr. Tiburon but come on

let's bring it on home okay lieutenant

Jessup can you describe what your office

recently learned regarding a missing gun

officers Granger and Cruz allegedly

confiscated a weapon in an assault case

which was never logged into evidence a

weapon which by total coincidence

matches the gun they claimed to have

found in the trunk of Wayne Styles car

this is totally outrageous your honor

not only his counsel cross-examining his

own witness he's referring to evidence

you yourself eliminated at his request I

am NOT addressing the evidentiary issue

I am merely trying to establish a

pattern of behavior by these officers as

it pertains to my client Oh

it's turn a noose around our neck can

you describe the missing gun lieutenant

a Beretta nine-millimeter

and yes it was the same type gun they

allegedly found in the car belonging to

Wayne Stiles thank you for adding that

no further questions oh come on the

circus

I'm warning you Cruz why don't you just

admit judge they've got you in the back

that's it you're under arrest for

contempt Granger to me what did I do

get them the hell out of here court

adjourned

[Music]

good news is that Halloran dropped the

contempt charges against you

forget that what was that BS about a

missing 9-millimeter well for the record

a gun like that did slip past our

paperwork a year ago in a Toys for gun

exchange so technically you could have

taken it it was so could have 50 other

people well then the only plausible

explanation for Hollerin behaviors that

he's still acting under duress

yeah penny whoops ins working at the

club Stiles has his muscle put the

screws to her to get her to take dirty

pictures with the judge and blackmails

him to toss the murder case to save his

own sick ass you know if Stiles walks

and there's even a perception you guys

blew this you'll be in front of the

review board before Stiles even gets

into a cab look we can't meet Halloran

if we don't win the case and we can't

win the case if we don't have a witness

so it all comes down to the same thing

fine Scott Stone our Styles goes free

the judge has given the cops 48 hours if

Scott stone isn't in court by then

you're a free man

look the guys that oughta know where he

is don't more than being paid not to

tell which means he's getting a lot of

money from somewhere from club we check

with Lee County place has been packed

but receipts are down 20% yeah cuz the

cash drops are paid by the club manager

the student named Tebow

he's gotta be Scotty's guy

you want to talk about it is it that

obvious

yeah those judges can be a real handful

who are you for Lex Patti I'm on their

side

here a cop you end that friend of yours

Monica level with me are you

blackmailing judge Halloran yes no I

mean I was supposed to don't tell me you

actually care for the guy I'm in love

with him and now they're forcing me to

the play pen is really excited now to

bring you miss patty Wilson okay put

your hands together guys I think the

money's on the move

to think you might be running cash to

Scott stone I wouldn't do that you got a

choice either I kill you right now but
