- Hey.
- AMY: My doctor just called.
You still haven't
dropped off your sample?
I'm kinda busy here.
- What's the rush?
- My receptionist's husband
just found out he has enlarged
veins in the scrotum,
which causes DNA damage.
Varicocele, otherwise
known as "hot balls".
I do not have roasted chestnuts.
A healthy man filling up a small cup
should not be brain surgery.
Do it, Callan. I'll send the messenger.
Yeah, hold on.
Sir, I just need to hit the head.
- What if we get a verdict?
- Oh, it'll be quick.
All right, it's on, I just
need you to do that thing.
Your closing was off the charts.
Bravo did not prove
first-degree burglary.
You just need one juror.
- Are you counting corn nuts?
- Sorry, I'm just...
this trial...
I cannot believe I might bring down
a district attorney who's
willing to experiment
with progressive justice.
Bravo's fate is not on you.
- And...
- What about Dante?
In and out of the system his whole life.
What if he'd had resources.
This is exactly why I still feel
holistic law is key.
When people have support
and they have skills,
they're less likely to turn to crime.
I'm just gonna grab George some tea.
We're set up in the conference room.
- How's he doing?
- I mean, he's... he's worried.
- [SOMBER MUSIC]
- He didn't mean what he said.
No, he did.
But I get it, I might've just...
you know, freed the person
who k*lled his soulmate.
Oh, Emily.
Hey.
Your Honor, documents confirming
the defendant's identity,
including a copy of her
original birth certificate,
will arrive by the end of day.
Thank you for that update,
Madame District Attorney.
Your Honor, given that
the -hour notice period
has been met, we'd like
to request a hearing.
Granted. DA Ketchem, what is
Texas's position on bail?
Bail? When did bail come up?
Two days ago, when we first
noticed the hearing.
This is a setup.
Nobody said anything about bail.
And nobody told you to show up
in a California courtroom
without a copy
of the California Penal Code.
Here you go. Page .
I flagged it for you.

But that's a...
longer story for another day,

with my nephew, Kiyoshi.
He's awesome.
He's named after my grandfather,
who d*ed in an internment camp
during World w*r Two.
You know, it's the reason
I became a prosecutor.
To ensure that those with power
don't abuse it in such horrible ways.
I had no idea.
You're not exactly a sharer, sir.

Hm.
You know, there's this hole
in the wall in Koreatown

- I am all for that.
But, uh, better head back to court.
Jury's reached a verdict.
- [SIGHING]
- Okay, okay.
I'll just...
You're not bringing that with, are you?
The idea of releasing
this defendant on bail
when she has already fled
Texas to escape arrest?
This is outrageous.
She couldn't be more of a flight risk.
No bail bondsman
will post a dollar for her.
We agree with Miss Ketchem.
Our client does not have
the financial resources to post bail.
Which is a problem when wealth
is a factor in deciding
who gets released, pending trials.
It... it hurts poor people.
Our own district attorney
has rejected cash bail.
We therefore request that
the court does the same,
and only considers
whether our client's release
poses a danger to the public safety.
Given this is supported
by the California Supreme Court,
I will follow it.
Mrs. Avila, please stand.
The court finds the defendant does not
pose a risk to public safety,
and orders her immediate release.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Your Honor, I'm heading back to Texas.
My office will notify you
regarding our next steps.
That is your prerogative.
Court is adjourned.
I should've known
your local rules better.
But an ambush is still an ambush.
And to a lot of good people,
this is not a victory,
but a loss.
So, when can I go home?
That warrant will
still be waiting for you.
Unless there's a radical
change in Texas laws,
you can't go home.
