MAN: Your Honor, a moment of your time.
Mr. Fisk, your trial doesn't

Well, Your Honor, I'd hoped you'd respond
to my motion for summary judgment,
and Carissa Shaw could walk free now.
First of all, I've already
granted your motion
to have your clients' priors excluded,
which is huge in an armed robbery case.
I suggest you take that win.

The People will show

that Carissa Shaw was
the woman behind the mask

Carissa Shaw committed armed robbery.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Mr. Fisk, you may begin.
When I first met Carissa,
she was just this big,
a wide-eyed, innocent girl
so pure of heart.
Once she saw a candy bar
on a television commercial
and tried to grab it from the screen,
and when it disappeared, she wept.
- Objection.
- Let's start a little closer
to the alleged robbery, shall we?
Carissa's character is on trial.
Context is everything.
There is a time and place
for that context.
Ladies and gentlemen, the cashier
who ID'd my client
is about to lie to you.
Counsel, you need to stick
to the facts of the case.
I plan to demonstrate
that is a fact, Your Honor.
He misidentified
a partially covered face.
Which you are not permitted
to state during your opening.
Arguments are to be made
after you've established the facts.
Are you more concerned about the cashier
- or about my client?
- Mr. Fisk, my responsibility
is to ensure both sides
receive a fair trial.
Move on. Carefully.
CARISSA: Judge hates my lawyer.
Right from the start,
she all over the guy.
I wouldn't say that she's...
She's calling out on what, like,
what, like, technicalities?
There are rules. She's a fair judge.
How is this fair? I got clean.
I got out early on good behavior,
and here I am,
and some jacked-up cashier's
about to lie on me,
and I'm, like, another strike,
going back for years.
Sorry. If you're me,
you don't care about rules.
Thrilled you could make it, Dr. Rycroft.
Sleep psychs are hard to find.
So are solutions to the mysteries

So, Danny Stahler, residential burglary,
claims he was sleepwalking

It's not like he mistook
the fireplace for the bathroom.
Quite thoroughly documented.
Complex tasks, driving,
eating, all while asleep,
triggered by medication, by stress.
Danny crawled in
through the bathroom window,
- stole jewelry...
- The mind creates
some wonderfully elaborate defenses.
So do desperate lawyers.
[CHUCKLES] Already I can
see we're alike, Mark.

Discomfort is very revealing.
You avoid discomfort, don't you?
No, I'm just, you know,
always comfortable.
What do you avoid to maintain that?
[CELLPHONE BUZZES]
Or... who?
It's healthy to keep destructive people
at arm's length, doctor.
Therapist told me that on TV.
- Hmm.
- So...
when can you evaluate Danny?
I hear your concerns, Your Honor,
but I know the law.
Mr. Fisk, yours is not
a criminal practice.
Maybe you could use
additional time to prepare.
I'm ready to go, Your Honor.
I've watched Carissa grow up,
and, yes, make some bad choices
after her brother died.
She's suffered,
but she does not deserve...
Then perhaps we should request
an experienced public defender.
Who will sleepwalk through her trial.
Mr. Fisk, the public defenders I know
are some of the hardest-working
people in the justice system.
Their passion and dedication
is unmatched.
Rivaled only by
their cynicism and fatigue.
- Judge Carmichael, if I may...
- By all means, Ms. Gray.
The only question is if Mr. Fisk's client
is satisfied with his representation.
Which Carissa is.
Then forgive me, Your Honor.
I'm not entirely clear

The longer between an event

this magic the last time.
Your right to a vigorous defense
is not a Get Out Of Jail Free card.
This time you were innocent.
Jury saw that.
Just be good out there
like you've been doing.

I heard about the chase.
If I had just listened
to his girlfriend's mother
or not put the fear of God in him,
- he wouldn't have fled.
- You did nothing wrong.
Then why does it feel like I did?
'Cause criminals make you feel that way.
Trust me. [SIGHS]

So...
you saw your dad.
He wants me to represent him.
Doesn't he know that,
as a lawyer for the People,
you can't advocate for anyone else?
Maybe, or not.
But there's a lot I need to learn
about his side of things, too.
Are you really thinking about
quitting the D.A.'s office?

Travis lost control of his car.
T-boned another vehicle
at an intersection.
Doesn't look good for either driver.

How you holding up?
The other driver survived.
Minor injuries,
but... Travis.
His kid without a father because I...
- Made a decision.
- The wrong one.
- He lied.
- Maybe, or maybe he believed
what he was saying when he said it,
or I heard what I wanted to hear.
You think this building is
trying to tell me something?
I hate to pile on, but this can't wait.
I just spoke with Judge Sato.
She's part of a Committee
on Judicial Performance.
A serious complaint has been filed.
This is how Fisk is coming after me?
He was inadequate.
I had to fire him
to protect the defendant.
Which is the basis of the complaint...
not from Fisk, but from Maggie Palmer.
I'm sorry, what?
Palmer is leading a renegade charge
from the D.A.'s office
claiming that you are judicially biased
towards your defendants.
Has Driscoll, Berger,
and Tanya Gray on board.
The CJP reviewed her claims,
which were only bolstered by firing Fisk.
My old colleagues in the D.A.'s office
- are coming for me?

I'm sorry, Carmichael.
You have had great success
pushing the system,
but sometimes the system pushes back.
I could lose my job.
It doesn't happen often, but it happens.
Try not to get ahead of yourself on this.
Let's talk tomorrow.
Good night.
