LOLA: Previously on All Rise...

I want you to know this little
w*r of ours is far from over.

Drop the g*n!

- I love you, Em.
- I love you, too.

We were a thing, like,
a million years ago.

You two were more than a thing.

I've got you, Lo.

I saw you and Andre.

Can we just talk about this, please?

I need some time.

My brother is not a m*rder*r.

- I take it you saw the news?
- It can't be a coincidence.

You think we have a serial
k*ller on our hands?

REPORTER : Police arrested a man

they believe is a serial k*ller.

REPORTER : Long-time
South L.A. forklift operator,

Carl Brewer, did not resist arrest.

He barely said a word
as police took him away.

REPORTER : Brewer is accused
of murdering four women

between and .

REPORTER : Earlier this year,
Brewer was acquitted

in the m*rder of one South L.A. woman.

REPORTER : He is now charged
in the brutal deaths

of four additional women.

All of the victims sh*t to death.

REPORTER : Their bodies
found in alleys and landfills.

REPORTER : Brewer says
he's innocent, but prosecutors

maintain they've collected
new evidence against him

over the past few months.

REPORTER : They said he may
have committed other murders

that have gone unsolved for a years.

REPORTER : The question
on everyone's mind,


will Carl Brewer
be acquitted once again?


A new set of jurors will decide.

Big day. You ready?

Yeah. Yeah, hell, yeah.

Always down to put
a serial k*ller behind bars,

especially a creep like Carl Brewer.

I don't know. I have
this sneaking suspicion

he's got another trick up his sleeve.

You've built a rock-solid case.

Now, you've just got to convince a jury.

Hmm.

Yeah.

Don't look so surprised,

I've been known to make
breakfast from time to time.

I'm not complaining.

Especially with all that tossing and
turning you were doing last night.

That's what a crying baby
will do to you.

You, my dear, were comatose.

I was tired after that flight.

Thank you for taking care of Bailey,

I mean, with you having
to get up early and everything.

Funny thing happened
after you drifted off

to Never Neverland.

I couldn't sleep.

So, I go to cast a movie
from my husband's cell phone.

Let me guess. Love and Basketball?

It never gets old.

Anyway, I'm all thumbs
with your phone as usual.

And instead of my movie,

I get my husband's emails
splashed across the TV screen.

No biggie.

Until I come across one particular email

with the subject line,
"Operation Double A",

- a.k.a. Andre Armstrong.
- Here we go.

You're running a background
check on Andre, Robin, really?

It's not an FBI thing.

I just want to know a little more

about the man I saw kissing my wife.

It was a huge mistake and I am sorry.

And I will continue to say I'm sorry.

Lola, Lola, Lola!
Let's not wake up Bailey.

- Andre is a nonfactor.
- Well, I don't trust him.

So, I'm doing my deep dive.

I wanna know where he's lived,
his blood type,

what rock he crawled out
from underneath. All of it.

You didn't do a deep dive

with your little mommy friend,
coupon scammer.

There it is. Lola Carmichael
reaches in her back pocket

and pulls out what she'd been
saving for a rainy day.

The infamous coupon scam. Well-played.

High five.

No?

Maybe it's me you don't trust?

I'm surprised he doesn't have whiplash.

Hey, I survived a stabbing,
I can certainly survive him.

Don't worry, Amy,
it's just a -inch scar.

I should be fine.
Now, the non-visible scar,

I'm still working on that one.

You know, we could all benefit

from the counseling that Lola set up.

Yeah, well, listening
to my grandpop helps.

I swear, the old man talks
to me like he's still here.

I was nine when I first told him
that I wanted to be a lawyer.

He used to say to me, "Nessa,
you're my little Themis.

You're my little lady of justice.

You have the power
to overcome anything".

I have two favorite superheroes,

Themis and my grandpa.

It would be great to hear
his voice right about now.

I'm sorry, I have to use the *** room.

Good morning.

Stalking me, Watkins? I thought
we changed the door code.

- I do not.

You should try counting
chimeras instead of sheep.

What's new with the Brewer trial?

You my friend, need to let that go.

You can watch it on the :

Gentlemen, Choi's in the building.

Hey! Thomas Choi,
we missed you around here, sir.

Oh, I didn't miss you guys one bit.

All right, time to get down to business.

Hey, Luke, about the Carl Brewer case,

do me a favor. Step to
the other side of that door.

Damn, Choi, you gonna do me like that?

Oh, I'm going to do you like that.

I need to talk a little trial strategy

with my co-counsel here.

- Love that guy.
- Ice cold, Choi.

Hey, thank you for coming down
here all the way from Pomona.

I appreciate your expertise on this.

Carl Brewer's left a trail of murders

in your jurisdiction and mine.

Let's run down our biggies,
we've got our witnesses

who've seen Brewer in locations
where he's buried bodies.

- Check. Hair from the victims.
- Yep. We've got a m*rder w*apon.

Hell yeah. We also have the only
woman that Carl Brewer

gives a damn about,
his sister, Mildred Brewer.

Defense still plan on
calling her as a witness.

Great, Callan, are you
sure you want to stick

with what we discussed?

Oh, abso-frickin-lutely.

When we go to cross-examine Ms. Brewer,

that's when I toss the grenade in.

My finger's already on the pin.

She's been here for like an hour.

Carl Brewer fires two

It's like she stepped into the

It's nice to see you again,
Judge Carmichael.

Two of the women
were buried in landfills,

one we found in a dumpster,

and the most recent at
a construction site in Pomona.

The murders all followed a pattern.

g*nsh*t wound to the head,
rope burns, hair ripped out.

Detective, did you recover a firearm

during the course of your investigation?

We did. In my presence, an officer found

a mm at the scene
of a g*ng m*rder in Pomona.

That was several months ago.

Showing what was previously marked

as People's Exhibit three.

Detective, do you believe

that this firearm is
connected to this case?

Yes. When we ran the serial
number of the firearm,

it came back as registered
to Carl Brewer.

We suspect he tried to sell it
through a g*n buyback program.

This assh*le cop is lying,
you need to object.

Brewer's g*n ended up in
the hand of the g*ng member

who was recently sh*t to death.

Objection, speculation
and lack of foundation.

Sustained. The last portion
of the answer is stricken.

Detective on the monitor
is a piece of paper

marked People's Exhibit .

Do you recognize this?

Yes. That's a receipt for a*mo.

We found it a couple of months ago

in the trunk of Mr. Brewer's vehicle.

The b*ll*ts that Mr. Brewer purchased

were for a mm.

They are the same type
of b*llet that k*lled

all four of the victims in this case.

- Objection, foundation.
- Overruled.

Subject to a foundation
being laid. Mr. Callan.

Your Honor, I'll be calling
a ballistics expert.

She'll be testifying that she test-fired

the w*apon and determined
that it matched the projectiles

found in the victim's,
as well as spent b*ll*ts

found near each of the crime scenes.

- That's all, your Honor.
- Miss Cuthbert.

Detective Collins, you took the lead

in all four of these
m*rder investigations,

and you certainly are
a seasoned detective.

But I think it's important
the jury know more about you.

I apologize if this gets uncomfortable.

What I'm handing the court is a document

marked Defense Exhibit C.

Opposing counsel already has one.

I would like to give one
to the detective.

You may.

Detective, what you're holding
is a disciplinary report

from the Board of Police
Commissioners during

the time you were investigating
the second m*rder, is it not?

You were under disciplinary proceedings

with the LAPD Internal Affairs
Division, is that correct?

- That was way back in .
- You were being investigated

for planting stolen jewelry,
is that correct?

- Yes.
- And that's because you,

in fact, tried to pin a burglary
on your wife's boyfriend

by planting stolen jewelry
in his home. Is that right?

The D.A. dropped all the charges.

I didn't ask you that, Detective.

You attempted to set up the man

with whom your wife
was having an affair.

Is that true?

That was the allegation.

Detective, do you believe
that an officer

who could frame his wife's
lover for residential burglary

is an officer who could frame
Carl Brewer for m*rder?

- Objection.
- Sustained.

I think I've made my point.

No further questions, Your Honor.

There.

What the...

[MACHINE BEEPS]

What the hell just happened?

I've been producing
legal docs for years.

I use a state-of-the-art
digital indexing system.

Yes, so do I. But the error
occurred on your side, Ben.

Oh my God, I can't believe I did this.

I'm gonna get fired.

You beamed our confidential documents

to the opposing attorney.
We are the CIA,

and you just gave the codes
to the Kremlin.

Just let me think!

Just bring your blood pressure down.

I'm sure Andre will understand,

you've worked for him for,
like a years.

Without making a mistake,

that's why I've worked
for him a years.

Okay. Where's the fire?

We might have a slight problem.

So, you said Carl Brewer would come into

Jansen gas station to fill up his t*nk.

All the time. He's been coming
to that station for years,

and he'd always come, like, around :

in the morning during my shift.

I took a graveyard shift
so I wouldn't have to be

bothered much with customers, you know.

Anywho, he was kind of weird,

but it seemed he got weirder
these past few months.

Always wanting exactly $. in gas.

He'd give me $ and a dime
and then stand there,

waiting on four pennies back in change.

- I'm like, are you kidding me?
- Any other unusual behavior?

He was flirty, but in a serious way.

Had this smirk and I thought
*** he was tweaking on meth.

Oh yeah. And he'd ask me what
kind of perfume I was wearing,

if my hair was really mine.
Now, I ain't gonna to lie,

he was kinda fine for an old dude.

But, he was way too extra.

Thank you, Miss Dale.

You told Mr. Choi that
you noticed a woman

that you thought was
sleeping in the back

of Mr. Brewer's car one night.
Is that right?

Yep, I took a look inside the car

when Brewer was taking a piss.

Looked like the woman was wasted.

And that was over five years ago?

And I still remember that moment.

You also said that
a couple of weeks later

that you learned from the news
that the same woman was missing?

Did you... did you call the police then?

Yeah. No, I mean, I did call
recently, when they found...

Recently?

But you weren't alarmed enough
then to call the police?

I didn't think anything
about that lady until I heard

police suspected she might
have been m*rder*d.

That's all. Thank you.

- Mr. Choi, any redirect?
- Thank you.

Ms. Dale, the police
interviewed you many times.

What did you eventually learn from them

about the woman you saw
in Brewer's vehicle?

- Objection, calls for hearsay.
- Mr. Choi.

Effect on the listener, Your Honor.

Overruled. The answer will be admitted

for that non-hearsay purpose.

You may answer the question.

Detective Collins told me they
were investigating her m*rder.

That's when I put two and two together

about Carl Brewer and realized the woman

I thought was passed out
was probably dead.

And that's what I told the police.

I'm sure Brewer was wanting
me to be his next victim.

sentence is stricken.

So again, let me try
and understand this?

Our confidential, privileged documents

are now in the hands
of the opposing attorney.

About of them.

I've checked the E-system
log about a gazillion times

and I don't know how it happened.

It just did. I am... I'm so sorry.

Every scintilla
of communication between us

and our Big Pharma client
is written in those documents.

Yes, I understand.

As I said, our legal strategies,
our weaknesses.

We are fighting a major
civil class action lawsuit

and that plaintiffs firm
represents dozens of litigants.

Do you know how much this sets us back?

- Let's take a moment here.
- Who made the mistake?

It was me. I made the mistake.

But I put a digital key on the document,

so the plaintiff's lawyer's shouldn't
be able to access them.

Yes, we've actually spoken
to the opposing attorney

and he's threatening
to bring a motion to unlock

the documents due
to negligent production.

Moe Wardlow is a very shady lawyer.

If he so much as even
peeks at the page count,

we are drowning in
multimillion dollar lawsuits.

God damn it! sh*t!

You had two very
important duties, Vanessa.

To oversee the paralegals

and to maintain previous logs
of attorney client documents.

I know I made a huge mistake,

and I've only been a lawyer
for six minutes and two seconds.

And this is not
how I imagined my beautiful

new chapter to begin.
But I will figure this out.

I will fix this.

I thought we had an understanding

about not litigating
this case in the media?

Ms. Cuthbert, what you pulled

to try to drum up public support.

Sometimes a gag order
is unconstitutional

due to a prior restraint on free speech.

- And I don't have to follow it.
- I didn't make a gag order.

talking to the media.

were violated one time

media attention, book offers.

How many book offers

Move to strike, go off record.

Something you want to
get off your chest, Corrine?

I just can't help but wonder
how you and your sketchy cohorts

Tried to accuse him of these
brutal crimes these murders.

It got so bad, we moved
a couple of times.

- [CARL BREWER GASPS]
- Mr. Brewer.

Bailiff, he needs medical attention.

- I'm calling a medic.
- Carl.

Ms. Brewer, please.

- Help him!
- Get the jury out.

... difficulty breathing.

Carl Brewer.

Carl!

Yes, please, immediately.

I don't know. I don't know, we need
a medic at *** immediately.

Please.

Y'ello! Y'all need a cowbell
on that front door.

- Moe Wardlow, it's been a while.
- Sure has, Armstrong.

Heck, I still tell
stories about you and I

doing battle during
the tobacco litigation wars.

Never repped big tobacco.
You've got me confused.

- Amy Quinn, meet Moe Wardlow.
- Okay, okay.

Help yourself to water, coffee,

or if you prefer something
a little more robust,

- we've got that too.
- I'll stick with water

'til you all give me that
cheque we know is coming.

Nah, who needs water? I ain't a boat.

Okay, we do not need
to settle with this guy, okay.

We can get our documents back.

As I said, Wardlow is the mosquito

that can suck the lifeblood out
of all of us.

That's worth the hefty price
to make this right.

Yeah. Thank you.

Just confirmed another cold case m*rder.

Woman's remains found in Pomona.

Autopsy revealed a similar
k*lling pattern to...

How close to Jensen gas station?

Less than a mile. They found her
at the construction site

off Dorsey Road. Been dead for a while.

Same area the police found the
victim Rydell testified about.

It will be a shame if Brewer croaks.

Kills a bunch of people,

then goes out like some kind of martyr.

[PHONES CHIMING]

Looks like Brewer's
number is not up yet.

Don't think I've ever prayed
for a serial k*ller's

speedy recovery before.

- Asked and answered.
- Amen!

It's illegal, Mr. Lopez.

You're a lucky man.

bucks is a far cry from
the few thousand dollars

you owe for those speeding tickets.

- And a far cry from jail.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Mr. Lopez, your daughter
means a lot to me.

She helped me through
some really rough times.

Emily told me you took
a b*llet or something.

Yeah, she was with me the whole time.

She helped me recover.

I need her in my life.

I'm hoping that you
and I can get to know

each other a little better.

I'll tell you what,
the next time we talk,

bring some old cognac.

It goes down nice with a good cigar.

It looks like Luke and your
dad are going to be just fine.

Uh-uh. Nope!

My dad, he is playing it cool.
Okay, I know him.

Luke is going to have
a challenge on his hands.

- Trust me.
- I still say you did not need me

to be your wingwoman.

Yeah, I know. I just
like having you around.

- Mm.
- Okay.

Tell me right now who you have
been texting like a mad woman.

Fess up. Who is it?

Wardlow, what you received
are privileged

and confidential attorney
client documents.

Oh, I know.

Forstaff v. Casper.

Southern District of New York
held that gross negligence

by competent counsel can waive
attorney client privilege.

Now, I'm assuming that
you guys are competent.

No federal court's gonna give
you access to our documents.

Beyond that, you don't have a case.

Our client's drug works.
It helps people.

And we know you can't back up
your nonsense claims of damages.

Oh, I can and I will.

But before we even get to trial,
your Big Pharma clients

are going to sue you up
the wazoo for malpractice,

giving away their
privileged communication,

exposing their national
liability. But remember,

I gave you the opportunity
to close Pandora's box.

Five million. Full settlement,
and you immediately drop

your motion for us to deliver
the digital caseload.

Too slow, too low. million.

Andre, we're not doing this.

- million.
- million.

But that is my final.

Time's a ticking folks. You're
the hare, not the tortoise.

Me and my brother moved
to Pomona about years ago,

I guess. Lived there a few years.

Was Carl bedridden the entire time?

- He was sick?
- Was he bedridden?

I don't know what you're asking.

Ask it a different way. Mr. Callan.

Yes, Your Honor. Were there
times where your brother

was well enough that he could
leave the house on his own?

- I suppose so. But not often.
- No. You said at one point,

Ms. Brewer, that you had to get
rid of most of your furniture?

To make room for his gurney
and his medical supplies.

It was a lot.

What did you do with
all of that furniture?

- You sell it, you store it?
- I put it in self-storage.

- You still have that unit?
- I haven't been there in years.

But you still have it?
This is the unit that's leased

under your married name, Price.

- Yes!
- I understand that you've lost

your husband a number of years back.

Does anyone else have
access to this storage unit?

No, just me.

Ms. Brewer, of course, you
understand that your brother

is charged with the murders
of these four women

and that each of them
was found with a patch

of hair missing from
the back of their heads.

Prosecution would like to present

People's Exhibits , , and .

Each of these bags contains hair ripped

from the scalps of these four women.

These four bags, along with eight others

just like them, were found in
your storage unit Ms. Brewer.

You and your brother
kept hair as souvenirs

from the women you k*lled
and you covered for him.

Objection! Assumes facts
not in evidence.

There's no evidence
that this witness knew that

these items were in storage.
In fact, maybe they weren't?

Detective Collins had a search
warrant and several others

of his colleagues were present
when this evidence was seized.

Leave my sister alone!

You leave my damn sister alone!

- Bailiff!
- Judge Carmichael please,

please don't throw my sister in jail.

She ain't have nothing to do with this.

Mildred, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Mildred!

♪ ♪

- We should take the deal.
- You can't be serious?

- Listen to me.
- No, no.

I'm not cutting a deal with Brewer.

We are going after the
death penalty. That's it.

Let's at least hear him out.
Maybe Brewer can help us.

Time's ticking.

Judge Carmichael gave us minutes.

We'll go along with
to life on each m*rder.

The death penalty
and life without parole

will both be taken off the table.

If your client gives us what we want

and I am not budging on that.

I'm only standing here
because my client wanted me to.

I insist we go back to trial.

- No, no.
- Mr. Brewer?

I said no.

I'm tired of it.

I'm tired.

I think million is a bargain,
Armstrong. Come with it.

No, I think you owe us
the inadvertent disclosure.

It wasn't negligence by us.
It was deception against us.

What the hell are you talking about?

Shut up, Wardlow. Go on, Ness.

The privileged documents
were accidently sent

to Mr. Wardlow because of a tech error

that occurred due to differences

in software systems between us and them.

Us meaning us and them meaning him.

I finally found the gremlin.

Our software systems are top notch.

- Your system is booty.
- So what?

Glen Fischer did nothing wrong.

He properly downloaded and transferred

the electronic documents.

It was Wardlow's secret server

that caused the malfunction.
And yes, I say secret server.

I broke the code to this
man's private cloud.

He's been hiding plenty of
privileged documents in there.

These are actually just a few.

Mr. Wardlow, you have been holding back

from producing in
violation of federal law.

Now, I have reviewed
these docs up and through,

and they prove that
your lawsuit is meritless

and your claims of damages
are utter foolishness.

We've taken steps to prevent disclosure.

- We are protected.
- And who, pray tell are you?

Vanessa "Ness" Johnson, Esquire.

Wardlow, get the hell out of here.

I'll send you a bill for reimbursement

for our litigation expenses.

to life on each count.

Is that both parties
understanding of the agreement?

- Yes, Your Honor.
- Yes, Your Honor.

Mr. Brewer, I understand
you have disclosed

to law enforcement where
you have buried women

that you've m*rder*d. Is that correct?

Yes, Judge Carmichael.

You have a document in front of you

that lists those locations, correct?

Yes. Judge Carmichael.

Before I approve this agreement,
I would like for you

to read those places aloud
to this court as a matter

of public record and
as a matter of justice.

Yes, Judge Carmichael.

Just like old times, boss. Thank you.

My bravo assigned you
with finding my replacement.

What's the hold up, Callan?

It's no small task,
filling your shoes, sir.

Well, heads up, something's coming down

the pike that's going
to rock the D.A.'s office.

Get any more info on that heads up?

Good, bad?

Just buy yourself a warm coat, Callan,

it's going to be a cold winter in L.A.

See you soon.

So, if I had been spending
more quality time with my dad,

I probably would have known

about the tickets stacking up, you know?

But I'm... I'm gonna be better
at the whole family thing.

Mm-hmm.

I will even visit my idiot
brother more often once I...

Move out of your idiot brother's house.

Exactly.

- Hey, Em.
- Yeah.

Could you can give me a moment?

Yeah, yeah.

Mr. Watkins, I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to interrupt.

It's okay.

Thank you for representing
Carl the first time.

My brother doesn't know this,

but I found a picture he had of a woman.

She had a tattoo of a Bible
verse from first Corinthians.

"Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth".

Chapter , verse .

:.

The verse on the woman
he swears he didn't k*ll.

A serial k*ller is not who I have loved

and taken care of all these years.

That's not my brother.
That can't be him.

I'm so sorry.

[SOBBING]

Congratulations on the Brewer case.

Thanks. It feels like
a bit of a hollow victory.

There's just so many victims,
more than we even realized.

Lola was all shaken up at the end.

Do me a favor and circle
Saturday, October th,

- on your calendar.
- Okay.

Because that is the day

that I would like to become Mrs. Callan.

Oh, yeah.
