Pete lied to protect you.
- Olga, if you testify...
- I can't.
I won't.
You want me to take the stand against Sergei, hmm?
You know what that means for me?
I get it.
It isn't easy to put your own brother away in prison.
I don't care about him.
If Pete's family knew I was there, they would think I set Mike up, in which case they will k*ll me.
If I take the stand against Sergei, then my family that has already cut me off, disowned me, they will take me away, and they will t*rture me, and then they will k*ll me.
You think they care about my baby?
Their flesh and blood with a Petrovic name?
Hmm.
Forgive me.
Forgive Pete for trying to protect me and our son.
Olga, let us help you.
Help me?
Let me tell you about Sergei.
My first memory is him getting expelled from high school for stabbing a teacher.
He b*rned his ex-girlfriend's house down.
My whole life I have been running away from him, trying to break free from my family, and I'm not stopping now, not with this baby.
Pete and I cut our families off because we want to raise this baby without family problems.
- But there is no place like that.
- What if there was?
I'm trying to understand why you need more time, counsel.
You rest, the defense rests, we move on.
I'm aware, Your Honor.
However, new information has come to light that the People need time to investigate before resting.
Defense is ready now, Your Honor.
Your Honor, if we could just have until lunch.
What is this new information, specifically?
The People may have identified the actual percipient witness to the sh**ting.
You gonna call Pinocchio next, counsel?
Enough.
You two are trying my patience.
I'll give you till after the lunch break, and not a moment longer.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Hey, pal.
How are we doing?
Mind if I come in?
Nice digs for a lawyer.
Your girl does all right for herself.
- She's not my girl anymore.
- You broke up?
Oh.
Y'all were cute.
- Checked all the diversity boxes.
- What are you doing here?
Checking on you.
You had a bad b*at,
- figuratively and literally.
- What are you doing, tailing me?
How'd you even know I was here?
Well, you know me.
I have my ways.
Look, you said you wanted to talk to me.
I thought you were stopping by the station.
You know why I didn't.
You had your goon squad touch me up, so I don't need to talk.
I need you to go.
Easy, son.
Your attitude just needed a little tune-up.
There's nothing wrong with my attitude.
I didn't stomp on anybody's ribs.
In fairness, you did throw the first punch.
The boys reacted.
I saw the sheriffs' reaction from the other side.
No wonder why folks hate us.
Yeah, well, that's the problem.
You want to be a lawyer, fine.
But people get hurt when they buck their past.
And people around 'em get hurt as well.
You've made your point.
You need to go.
Sure.
I'll go.

You tell me what the hell is going on, or you are getting kicked out next.
Was that McCarthy?
Does he know that I haven't slept in two days,
- that I almost sh*t him?

Okay?
I shouldn't have come.

The night of the protest, I stood with them, and I should've stood with you, and I didn't, and it's been hellish ever since.

How would you characterize your relationship

- Fear.
I have been afraid of Sergei my entire life.
Objection, Your Honor.
Sibling rivalry isn't relevant.
Overruled.
This speaks to witness credibility.
I'll allow it.
Ms. Petrovic, would you please tell us what you did on January , ?
Pete and I went over to his brother's house...
Mike.
Um...
Pete and Mike hadn't seen each other much since our wedding.
Pete wasn't welcome around this family.
- Why is that?
- Objection.
Relevance.
Calls for speculation.
Overruled.
I'll allow it.
Because he married a Kirilenko...
Me.
Um, but Pete and Mike stayed in touch, and we went over for a special occasion.
Pete was going to tell Mike we were having a baby.
Mike was so thrilled, he actually hugged me.
Said he'd never hugged a Kirilenko before.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
- MARK: Your Honor.
Quiet, Mr. Kirilenko.
Go on, Mrs. Petrovic.
And what happened next?
Pete was in the backyard on a call.
I was in the front with Mike.
He talked about having us over more often, about how much he missed Pete, about how excited he was to be an uncle, and then Sergei came there for me.
He yelled disgusting things at me.
He challenged Mike, and Mike didn't back down, so Sergei sh*t him, and then he sh*t him again and again.
Mike crawled away...
and Sergei stood over him and sh*t him twice more.
And then he looked right at me...
and he smiled.
No further questions, Your Honor.
You're dead to me!
- Dead to the family!

Cross-examination?
♪♪ I have, uh, no questions, Your Honor.
In the matter of the People vs.
Sergei Kirilenko,
as to count one, a violation of Penal Code section (A), m*rder, the Court finds the defendant guilty.
As to the allegation that the m*rder was willful, deliberate, and premeditated, the Court finds that allegation to be true.
The clerk will record the verdicts as read.

With a little help from a friend.

I'm not God.
No, no, no, you're not, but maybe I could help you, if you help me.
- But your boss isn't gonna like it.
- I'm listening.
I'm scheming on a transfer back home.
I could expedite that if I snag a massive case, something like the Kirilenkos.
I don't think this m*rder rises to the federal level.
Ah, but Olga Petrovic does.
She's the thread that I'm looking for.
Now if she could help me,
I'll put her family in Witness Protection

I need you to watch Bailey for a few nights.
Me and Lo need some quality time.

So tell me, Ralph, Ralph Carson, 'cause I have to know, why a dollhouse courthouse?
I'm glad you asked, Sherri.
I spent a year in a rut.
