special I totally agree which is why
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
you know
besides I'm thinking of quitting all of
this just getting far far away from

oh yes that tropical island you've been
fantasizing about a couple weeks from
now I'm gonna be sitting under a palm
tree alone okay Jess it's the usual drop
location and if you decide that you're
hungry my offer still stands
you're dancing
[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

[Music]

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
[Music]

are you friend of mr. Stiles who seems
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

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]

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

you guys for stalking me
correction Your Honor we're
investigating a silent alarm that went

building

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

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

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

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

[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

choice either I kill you right now but

attorney's office has offered you any
