your attempted m*rder

You're facing life in prison

Are the accounts of the two of you
having big blowout arguments true?
I am ashamed to say they are.
What would you argue about?
Me.
Female sushi chefs are not common,

decided to give me the restaurant.
When Yuma proved herself,
I felt it was only right
to leave Kainami to her

I've worked my ass off

And even though he's got his
own place now, he's still bitter.
My father would never hurt

[CHUCKLING]
How long did you work for Kainami Sushi?
I started out as Chef
Hiroto's dishwasher,
and then I spent nearly
ten years as his protégé.
And then I went to school
to learn about restaurant
management 'cause
Chef was going to pass
Kainami Sushi onto me.
- And did he?
- No.
His daughter, Yuma,
suddenly wanted to
play chef, so I was out.
When an investor
offered me my own place,
I jumped at the chance.
I fused dishes from my Peruvian
heritage with my sushi training.
And you received a Michelin
star for your efforts,
- is that correct?
- Yes.
How long were you
open before you got it?
About a year. A COVID year
too, which was pretty crazy.
And what happened the night
you were awarded the Michelin star?
I went to celebrate and
make peace with Chef.
So, I sent over my signature dish.
I guess I was still in the need
of his approval or something.
Anyway, when he replied
with his own dish,
I thought we were in a better place,
like we had exchanged olive branches.
What happened next?
Not long after I finished the dish,
I was rushed to the hospital
with blowfish poisoning.
CLAYTON: Thank you.
Chef Hiroto invested a lot
of time in you, didn't he?
- Yes.
- Was he aware that you were going to repay him
by opening your own restaurant
just down the street?
I... It's not the same food. I wasn't...
Has Chef Hiroto's business
suffered since you've been open?
- Unfortunately, it has...
- And did you ever think...
Your Honor, is she ever going
to let him complete an answer?
Apologies.
Chef Renalto, fugu, or blowfish,
is a specialty because it's imperative
that the chef avoids
puncturing the ovaries or liver,
which contains the deadly toxins.
- Is that correct?
- Yes.
- Well, how'd it taste that night?
- Objection.
Is this a joke?
Mr. Renalto could have d*ed.
Your Honor, my client is
up for attempted m*rder.
I would simply like to know
how the allegedly poisoned food tasted.
I'll allow it.
Please tell us, how did it taste?
Fine, I guess.
Um, it was... it was with some new
pairings that I didn't recognize.
It was also a crazy night.
I am ashamed to say that I finished
the dish faster than I wanted to.
So, is that why you
didn't taste the fugu?
Or is it because Chef Hiroto
knows you don't like fugu,
and in fact, never added it
to the dish he served you.

- Objection.

People's Eight. Is this
your father's fuguhiki Kn*fe?
Uh, yes.
Is it true that is only
used to cut blowfish?
Yes.
Did your father use the fuguhiki to cut
any other fish when he
prepared for Mr. Renalto's dish?
A fuguhiki is never used
to cut any other fish,
even after it's cleaned.
But what if it did?
Had fugu or blowfish
been served that night?
- Yes.
- Who prepared it?
My father.
Is it possible the fuguhiki transferred
the blowfish poison
to another cut of fish?
Objection. Speculation
and foundation ground.
She is an expert. She
would know if it's possible.
Overruled. You may answer.
Yes, it could happen.
Did your father try
to disguise his actions
by not serving
Mr. Renalto actual blowfish,
but another fish laced
with blowfish poison?
- Objection. Speculation.
- Sustained.
Thank you. No further questions.
LOLA: Ms. Quinn.
How has your father been
feeling since he had COVID?
Ms. Kudo?
Um, he got a bad case,
and is still not quite himself.
He has limited smell and
suffers from brain fog.
[SPEAKING JAPANESE]
Has it affected his work?
[TEARFULLY] In small ways, yes, it has.
He could be um, less organized
and forgetful at times.
AMY: Thank you. Nothing
further, Your Honor.

- Alma.
- Thank you for coming in.
We just have to look over
this waiver form together,
and I will just need you
to initial and sign, please.
I also wanted to let
you know that we offer
emotional support counseling services...
Excuse me? Counseling?
I'm not some head case off the street.
You do realize that.
But Alma, you qualified
for a public defender,
which means that you are
struggling financially.
And more importantly,
I suspect emotionally.
My husband was my best friend.
When he d*ed, I found out
that he invested
all of our money and lost everything.
So, I do not appreciate being shamed
for requesting free counsel,
which is my right.
Hold on a second. Alma,
that's not what I...
I am so sorry.
I cannot imagine how hard this has been,
but therapy could help.
Yeah, well, I don't have
the time or the resources.
So, sitting on some couch
complaining about my life
isn't going to pay the
mortgage or the kids' tuition.
Thank you for negotiating
the plea agreement.
I appreciate your time.
I understand that you're
unable to reach a verdict.
- Is that correct?
- Yes, Your Honor.
Do you think additional
time deliberating
would assist the jury?
- No, I do not, Your Honor.
- Very well.
Then I will find that the jury
is hopelessly deadlocked.
You all are excused from further
jury service in this case.
Thank you for your service.
Your Honor, the defense would like
to make a motion to dismiss.
Mr. Berger?
We oppose the motion, Your Honor.
I will take the motion under submission.
In the meantime, I think
this is an opportune time
to reflect on what makes a family.
Some of the strongest bonds we have
are not limited to people
we share bloodline with.
Our chosen family can be just
as significant, if not more so.
Mr. Kudo, Ms. Kudo, Mr. Renalto,
perhaps you will take
this additional time that
you've been afforded
to have an open and honest conversation.
It's at least worth a try
before new strangers
decide your fate.
We are adjourned.
What if it was an accident?
Will the charges be dropped?
Um, without proof,
I... I don't think so.
Am I allowed to speak to Hiroto?
Oh, well, I don't know if I would.

Berger. The jury deadlocked?
Yes. Ms. Quinn made a motion to dismiss,
and Judge Carmichael
took it under submission.
What do you recommend?
The tox report is solid
and the chef's temper
is well documented.
It's also possible the chef may have hid
the blowfish poison
in another cut of fish,
but there's no way to prove
that it wasn't just a mistake.
Doesn't seem like we have a
strong enough case anymore.
Let's dismiss. Are you sure?
