In Justice s01e06 Episode Script

Every trial results in a verdict, but not every verdict results in the truth Mary Beth is always getting at me to put them in a safe deposit box.
- Thank you, dear.
- There you go, mrs.
Terzian.
They're really the only valuables we got out of Armenia.
Beautiful.
They're supposed to bring good fortune.
Mother, it's getting late.
Well, that should be everything.
I just need to write it up, and you should get papers by the end of the month.
Hatbox is bedroom closet, cashbox is bedside and jewelry is on the dresser.
Any weapons? None.
They'll be at the opera a week from thursday.
They invited me, but I said I couldn't come.
I guess they like me.
I'm so disappointed we couldn't stay for the whole performance.
I know, honey.
I know.
If you actually took your blood pressure medicine, you would'nt be falling asleep before the intermission.
I'm fine, Fran.
I just need a little snack.
Maybe a bowl of cereal or something.
I just don't understand why you leave only one sip in the carton.
Not a sound.
The rings.
Give me the rings now.
Come on, come on, come on! Give 'em to him.
Look, you got what you wanted.
- Get on your knees.
-No! Shut up.
Get on your knees! Please.
Please.
But they So her law firm sent her to the client's house to do inventory on the valuables.
They needed the inventory to draft the will.
- So she was just doing her job.
- Exactly.
We have to go see her.
Should we tell Conti or not tell Conti ? I don't want to hear "no.
" I didn't write this.
So it's not about you? No, it's about me.
It's just not Flora! I was just trying to help you.
It's all right.
I gave her some legal advice on a child custody matter, so she's been trying to return the favor ever since.
Look, I know about the national justice project.
David Swain.
Very impressive.
- We specialize in cases like yours.
- Hopeless cases? We can still file a habeas petition, and in a habeas you're not-- Not confined to the record from trial.
You can introduce new evidence.
I know.
May I just ask you one question? Why did the police focus on you? The daughter--Mary Beth.
She said I was acting suspiciously, I wanted to know where all the valuables were, what they were worth, the provenance.
Well, so did you? I was writing up a will.
I was thorough.
But you had an alibi for the murders.
Yeah, I was in a prep class for law school admissions exam.
I was the only black woman in a class of 40.
I stood out.
This is my law school and my law firm all in one.
You know, it's amazing what you can learn with a law library and nothing else to do.
Well, so since you had an alibi, the police accused you of being a.
.
- A ten percenter, right.
I never even heard the term before.
Scouting burglaries for 10% of the take.
The prosecutor was new.
She had something to prove.
She wanted the shooters, but all she had was me.
Are you saying she might have twisted the facts? Saying she wasn't gonna quit until she put somebody away.
Okay, I'm sorry, but you seem really calm about all this.
Yeah, well, I was angry at first first four years.
I calmed down the second four years.
Now I'm working on philosophical.
You think I got a shot? - Only one way to find out - Yeah.
So she doesn't deny talking to the two bikers in the parking lot.
Well, no.
They were lost, you know, complete strangers.
They just needed directions.
Two men admitting they were lost? It's been known to happen.
All right, well, I gave the file to Swain, so let's see what he says, but, you know, meet with her.
See what her story is.
Actually, uh You already met with her? Well, we just wanted to get a jump on her so that-- That's not how we do it.
We're a team, not a bunch of commandos.
And I want the same polling people Newsom used for his campaign, all right? Now I need a briefing on central valley growers.
Speak of the devil.
I only want to hear it if it's good news, Charlie.
Thanks, Barry.
Alyssa Hill.
Yeah, Alyssa Hill.
The paralegal.
She was writing up a will.
The next week she's accused of double homicide.
What about her? You read the file, right? Yeah, of course I read the file, Charlie.
The prosecution had nothing on her.
Where is it? It's right here.
Yeah, except that they found stolen goods in her car.
Well, they always have something.
But this whole "ten percenter" nonsense-- I mean, they wanted to get to the shooters, right? This girl Alyssa, she wouldn't roll because she couldn't roll.
They only put her away to appease an angry public.
You know something? If we get her out in time, Charlie, wow, she'll be a great way to kick off my campaign.
I gotta tell Greta.
How closely did you read the file, David? What, is this a test? Fine.
And just so I'm clear-- Jordana Locallo, the prosecutor who put this girl away.
.
she's the same Jordana Locallo that you're currently.
.
Eh, don't say "dating," Charlie, please.
Have some self-respect.
Seeing.
Seeing.
Can we say "seeing"? Yes.
And do me a favor, would you? Don't tell the kids, all right? It'll just complicate things.
- All right, fine.
- Thank you.
If we have this conviction overturned, it's gonna embarrass her, right? And you're telling me, "fine, Charlie, this won't be a problem"? Charlie, I'm telling you, Jordana and I are adults, all right? I'm telling you this Alyssa Hill trial was ten years ago.
I'm telling you she's a judge now.
It's not gonna be a problem.
Take the case, all right? Jordana doesn't embarrass easily.
Believe me, I've tried.
I'll bet you have.
You worry too much.
Alyssa Hill serving 32 years to life for conspiracy to commit a burglary resulting in a double homicide.
She had an alibi, but the prosecution accused her of being a ten percenter.
What's a ten percenter? Someone who scouts a place to burglarize in exchange for a cut of the profits.
I thought we were on my narcoleptic drug smuggler.
Yeah, we were.
Now we're not.
Sonya and Brianna did the intake on tuesday.
Okay.
Evidence against her? Let's have it.
We have the eyewitness at the grocery.
She claims that she saw Alyssa talking to two men a week before the murders.
One guy was wearing a bandanna-- hell's angels types riding very loud motorcycles.
Same description was given by the Terzians' next-door neighbor.
He saw two men running from the terzian home, one in a black bandanna.
Good.
Brianna, check the eyewitness statements in the discovery and talk to the witnesses again.
Press them for any details that might help us distinguish the hell's angels types from the guys the neighbors saw.
- What else, Jon? - I'm gonna need a minute.
I wasn't part of the estrogen fest.
- The stolen jade found in the car.
- Right, her ten percent.
Alyssa thinks it was planted.
You know, the killers could have put it there to throw the police off their own trail.
That's kind of a stretch.
Why her? Well, because when the police picked her up and questioned her, it was all over the news and in the paper.
Yeah, here"police paint paralegal as person of interest.
" Someone got carried away with alliteration.
And the police only found the jade in the trunk after those reports aired.
Right, and that's exactly why we're taking this case.
Alyssa gave the police permission to search her car when they took her in for questioning.
They found nothing.
Three days later, and after this came out, the police do a more "thorough" search.
Guess what? They find the jade.
So where was the car between these two searches? Sonya, we're gonna talk to the police detectives, okay? And, uh, Jon has yet another question.
Well, what about the room-by-room list of valuables they found in Alyssa's desk? Was that planted by the killers as well? No, Alyssa did that with all her clients as part of preparation when you're drafting up a will.
Good, and we need to show that.
So, Jon, find her other clients and ask them if she did the same thing.
That firm has clients all over northern California.
Yeah? Swain will reimburse you for mileage.
Conti, what about the prosecutor.
.
Locallo? What about her? Well, Alyssa thinks she seemed hellbent on putting someone away.
Want me to check her out? Start with what we have, and, uh, see where it leads us.
Thanks.
Time to get up, big boy.
The post-coital bubble gum.
You see, this is what I don't undersnd.
People actually take you seriously.
When I put on my judge voice.
"Mr.
District attorney, I said sit down!" How come you never use your judge voice with me? Ooh, mr.
Swain, I'm holding you in contempt.
What is it with you and your hair? You sleep all night, and it's perfect.
Well, it's glued on.
There.
Perfect is boring.
- I need to see you tonight.
- No.
We need to decompress.
What is it you wanted to talk about? - What did I want to talk about? - Wine, dinner, "we need to talk.
" Oh, right.
Remember how we used to say what small town this was, and how eventually we'd probably end up on the opposite side of a case? - Swain, you're rambling.
Alyssa Hill.
1996.
African-american paralegal arrested for conspiracy.
- The ten percenter.
- Yeah.
You were the prosecutor.
Killers were never found.
Is your little justice league looking into that? How quaint.
I can't wait to hear what you find out.
- Well, I can't wait to tell you.
Game on.
Ernesto would die if he knew I was showing you this, but then again, I never thought it was the strongest case.
- Ernesto's your partner? - Former.
Retired a few years ago.
Is he the one that found the jade in the trunk? No, I did.
You want to know why we didn't find it in the first search? - I.
P.
S.
- Idiot patrolman syndrome.
Never give a first responder a task more difficult than tying his shoes.
- So what, they just overlooked it? - Wouldn't be the first time.
Oh, wow.
The bullet fragmented.
All over the kitchen.
.
the walls, the ceiling.
One of those crime scene oddities.
You're ex-Oakland homicide.
You never ran across one? All the time.
Hated them.
S.
I.
found traces of asbestos on the bullet fragment.
Yeah, my partner thought it was from the insulation in the ceiling.
What is this? Oh, yeah.
Don't get all wild-eyed on me.
We thought that was a gang sign or a serial killer.
That's why we withheld it from the public--to test phony tips.
But it didn't match any other crime scenes, so we decided it was a fake out, you know, the shooters just trying to lead us in the wrong direction.
Why wasn't this shown to Alyssa Hill's defense? Ask the prosecutor Locallo.
That was her call.
Will you excuse me? What do you think? I think maybe this wasn't just a burglary.
Maybe it was an execution.
I got it.
Thank you for sending this to us.
I think we could really use this opinion.
It's a different feeling advocating for yourself.
I'm so used to doing this for other people.
We're gonna do our best for you.
That's a different feeling, too.
I'll let you know what we find out.
Okay.
Okay, so the shooters traced this in blood on Mrs.
Terzian's forehead.
What is it? Occult symbol? Satanic marking? What? - Looks like anarchy.
- Ladies and gentlemen, mr.
Swain.
Yes, anarchy.
Anything else? Jessica, Patrick, Jon, check all possibilities.
Where--where-- where's Jon? Oh, he's in Modesto or San Jose, I think, you know, still talking to Alyssa's clients Right.
Checking to see if she had the same M.
O in drafting other wills.
Great, okay, and, Brianna and Sonya, you're coming with me to meet Mary Beth, the daughter.
She still lives in the same house where her parents were killed.
Conti, one more thing.
Look, I know you wanted to hold off checking out the prosecutor, right? Right.
But looking through the discovery of the trial, I discovered this-.
This is a preliminary list of witnesses the prosecution was gonna call at trial.
- This is a final list.
- One witness was dropped.
- Who? - Someone named Cherise Wiggins.
Who's that? I don't know.
There's no mention of her anywhere else, and no mention of what she was gonna testify at trial to.
- You want me to hunt her down? - Definitely.
We need to find her.
We need to know what she knew and why the prosecutor didn't call her.
No stone unturned, Charlie.
Great.
All right.
That's it.
You'll have to remove your shoes.
- What? - Please.
The rugs are original.
Like I said on the phone, I don't recall much.
Her look was unprofessional, and she seemed to view her job as an excuse to snoop.
What do you mean? She kept talking to my mother about the jade-- seemed to know a lot about it for a paralegal.
You mind if I take a look around? Thank you.
Miss Terzian, you didn't tell the police that you thought she killed your parents, did you? I told them I didn't trust her.
As it turns out, I was right.
- Your mother trusted her.
- My mother trusted the law firm.
Should have requested a different paralegal.
There was a blonde one who always wore smart shoes.
Miss Terzian, may I show you something? Looks like the letter "A.
" - Have you seen this before? - No.
Why? - Should it mean something? - We don't know.
This house never had asbestos in it.
What? The insulation's old, but it's too new for asbestos.
Asbestos on the bullet fragments didn't come from the ceiling.
Wait.
I know I should know what that means, but I have no idea what you just said.
- Well, the bullets splintered, right? Yeah.
That can happen sometimes when you fire a bullet through an illegal can.
A what? Homemade silencer.
And the asbestos? There's this guy I arrested once.
He used to work the antique gun shows.
Customized guns for gang-bangers.
If I remember right, he used to use roofing insulation in his silencers.
Roofing insulation-- asbestos.
Right.
So if I can find him, maybe I can get a lead on who we should be looking for.
Great.
I agree, counselor.
I don't see any reason to consider mr.
Hodgkins anythingother than a flight risk.
Bail's set at $100,000.
Recess for 15 minutes.
So how's the justice league doing? Should I pack my bags to Panama? Just a day bag.
- Oh! What did you find? - Cherise Wiggins.
She was on your preliminary witness list, but you dropped her for the trial.
Why did you do that? She was on to me.
I had to dump her body in the bay.
15 minutes are up.
You're not gonna tell me? About the missing witness? I dropped witnesses all the time.
I picked up witnesses all the time.
And you are gonna lead a sad little life, Swain, looking them all up.
That's why I have interns.
It could be a cult symbol.
A cult symbol? Are we talking Manson family here? Too soon to tell, but we're supposed to keep our eyes open for any match with the symbol.
You keep breaking up.
Well, yeah.
That's because I'm in friggin' Stockton.
How goes it with Alyssa's other clients? Things a suddenly looking up.
Howdy.
Hi.
Sandra Hauser? Hi there.
And just so I'm clear, ms.
Hauser-- Sandra-- you were with Alyssa when she did the inventory? Oh, yes.
She was very thorough.
Said her boss was the kind that got hot as fish grease if she didn't verify every item on the list.
There was nothing suspicious about her behavior? - Suspicious? - Yeah.
No.
Conscientious, yes.
Well, uh, thank you, ms.
Hauser.
It's been great.
No problem.
I sure do miss that silver, though.
Sold it? - No.
It was taken in the robbery.
- Robbery? Yeah.
Not even a month after we'd done the inventory.
And she wasn't the only one.
I talked to other people that Alyssa made wills for over the years, and guess what.
Three other clients had the exact same thing happen to them --three other robberies, each just weeks after Alyssa visited their homes, all about nine months apart.
Less chance of getting caught if they spread 'em out.
That's why the police missed them.
And not only that, all the stuff that was taken in each of the robberies-- stuff that Alyssa inventoried for the wills-- things like jewelry, silver, watches, stuff like that.
This job was just the perfect cover for her.
It gave her access and told her what stuff was worth taking.
Guess the cops got it right-- she was a ten percenter.
- Okay.
Thanks, Jon.
- I mean, sorry, I-- No, no.
It's-- good work.
- I'll contact our client.
- All right.
Locallo.
Guess who just got free for dinner.
- I can't believe I'm back here.
- Back where? Feeling like this-- when I lost each appeal, feeling each door slam in my face.
At least back then I could blame my lawyer.
This time-- - But we haven't lost yet.
If you can just give us something, some way that this could have happened.
I'm sorry.
I can't tell you anything other than I'm as surprised as you are.
Do you remember doing the inventories of these homes? Yes.
Did you tell somebody about them-- friends, family, boyfriend? No.
The firm has strict rules on client confidentiality.
Sorry.
All them girls she's helped, and nobody can help her? Excuse me? You ask any con in here who they look up to-- it's Alyssa Hill.
She works on everyone's case for free.
She teaches some girls to read, teaches some girls english.
Be nice to see her get out of here.
As long as she's here, my job's easier.
So what do you think? He's not letting it drop.
- What did she say? Her law firm had - Strict rules about confidentiality.
National justice project.
Yeah, Jon, I want you to check the law firm where Alyssa worked.
Get a list of all the employees who worked there when she did.
Ten years ago? Yeah, anyone who had access to her inventories.
- Run background checks.
- Look at this.
I want to know who has a criminal record, who got fired, who sold office supplies and who didn't wash their hands after using the toilet.
I want to know it all.
- So we're not dropping the case.
- No.
There's a pattern here.
Alyssa inventoried four clients.
Four clients then got burglarized.
So either Alyssa is the connection, or it's someone who had access to the same information as her.
- Someone at the law firm.
- Yeah.
Get on it.
Hang on.
Hey, I got a lead on Cherise Wiggins in San Jose.
She's the woman who was dropped from Locallo's witness list.
- Should we go talk to her? - Yeah, both of you.
Let me know what happens.
Where you going? Find the guy who made that silencer.
Excuse me.
Try graphite lubricant? Works for me.
I'm just sayin'.
What can I do you for, mister? Looking for a guy named Joe Mandak.
Yeah, I bought the place from Joey.
He's doing 10 to 20 up in Pelican Bay.
Damn.
Yeah, he used to help me out with something-- it's a silencer.
Can't help you there, man.
Go to jail for just selling it to you.
You know, I tried to make my own, but I couldn't get the baffles to line up straight.
'Bout blew my hand off last time out.
- It's tricky.
- I figure I could risk the other hand or go see a pro.
Here I am.
Micah Mason.
Don't ask too many questions.
I'll call him and let him know you're coming.
Okay? - Thank you.
- You bet.
Mr.
Mason? Easy.
Easy.
- Micah Mason? - Nobody's home.
Put your hands up.
Your buddy from the independence gun store sent me.
It's about par for that knucklehead to send me a cop.
Oh, I'm not a cop.
Git! Git! Not a cop, huh? In that case, you're trespassing, and I could just shoot you, no questions asked.
I'm looking to buy a silencer.
I'm told you're the man.
I'm not in that game anymore.
Get out of there! Go! Roll over.
Roll over! On your belly.
Hands in front of you where I can see 'em.
Stay down.
All right! I'll sell you a silencer.
Shut up.
All right.
I want a list of all the people you've sold silencers to since 1990.
This ain't a hardware store.
I ain't got receipts.
Well, you better think hard, 'cause if you don't, this whole place is gonna be crawling with cops, D.
E.
A.
, A.
T.
F.
and everyone else who wants a turn sticking a microscope up your butt.
Your name is on the D.
A.
's list, Cherise.
What kind of lawyer you say you were again? We work for Alyssa Hill.
Yeah, you were supposed to testify against her at her trial ten years ago.
Do you remember that? I don't remember nothin' ten years ago.
Would it jog your memory if I told your P.
O.
about the track marks on your arm? Alyssa Hill.
Alameda County.
Yeah, so? We were locked up in county together after she got herself arrested.
- So did you snitch on her? - I ain't no snitch.
Then why were you gonna testify? That lawyer made me.
- What lawyer? - The D.
A.
Skinny bitch.
Look, she wanted me to testify that your girl told me she planned the robbery-- some old peoples' house.
- Wait.
The D.
A.
asked you to lie? - Yeah.
I said I'd do it if she dropped one of my possession counts.
But my lawyer got both counts dismissed because of an illegal search.
I didn't need her deal.
Guess she found some other way to put your girl in prison.
- We done here? - Yeah.
So Locallo stacked the deck against Alyssa to make her case stronger.
Yeah, but it doesn matter if that girl never testified.
Yeah, other witnesses did.
So who knows who else she tampered with? I got up to use the restroom and looked out the window and saw two men running away from the Terzians' house-- over there.
Yeah, actually, we're more interested in what happened after that.
After? Yeah.
When you told the police what you saw, was there a D.
A.
here when they interviewed you? No, I met with her later.
Pretty girl.
Redhead.
Yeah, tough as tacks.
Said she wanted to go over my testimony before the trial, make sure I remembered all the details.
Such as? Oh, the bandanna one of the men was wearing.
Said it was important I say it was black.
Wait.
Are you saying it might have been a different color? Look, Doug and Fran were my friends for years.
I felt I owed them a small measure of justice.
I'm not even sure there was a bandanna at all.
It might have been his hair.
Can't have drinks tonight.
Maybe tomorrow? Are you in love? Yeah, with my caseload.
No, no, no, no.
You have that certain glow.
Judge Locallo? Yes? Could you help us out with something? It's better if you call my chambers and make an appointment.
It's about Alyssa Hill, a case you prosecuted in 1996.
Double homicide.
- Oh, now I see.
You're with the justice league.
- National justice project.
Well, I'm in a bit of a rush.
We'll talk another time.
We talked to Cherise Wiggins.
She said you asked her to lie in order to convict miss Hill.
Let's see.
A convicted drug dealer tells you a prosecutor is lying, and you choose to believe the drug dealer.
That sound about right? - What about Richard Jelkes? You got him to say that he saw a shooter wearing a bandanna that didn't exist.
So you needed him to see the bandanna because Alyssa Hill was seen talking to a man in a bandanna.
Okay, very nice.
Tell David nicely played, but he can call off his bloodhounds now.
Excuse me? Yeah, check with your boss.
He'll know what I'm talking about.
But nice work, girls.
Okay, both of you need to calm down.
She said, "you can back off now.
" She said Swain would know what she's talking about.
Is there some kind of deal? Because we've been working our asses off! There's no deal! I'm gonna give you a piece of advice now.
I work for David Swain.
You work for me.
I know you've grown attached to this client-- Oh, no, no, no.
We are not attached, no! We are pissed off, okay? She got railroaded by a crooked D.
A.
She lost her family and her friends.
And now you ask us to calm down just to keep Swain happy? Well, you know what? He's not the one in prison.
Did you tell us not to concentrate on Locallo because you knew Swain was dating her? I'm done talking to you.
No, there were three other burglaries.
We're off the case.
Huh? What? - We're not dropping Alyssa Hill.
- We're not? Sonya and Brianna have built a strong case for her.
Based on what? Prosecutorial misconduct.
Locallo tampered with two witnesses that we know of.
It wasn't a fair trial.
There are other ways we can get our client out.
We don't know that.
What we do know is that Locallo acted unethically and illegally.
What if I told you I don't want you to go there? Then this whole project becomes a joke.
You like the high horse, don't you? No, no.
I wanted to avoid this, remember? You said it wasn't gonna be a problem.
That was before I She's beginning to matter to me.
Then make her not matter.
It's not that simple.
So step away, or get another lawyer to argue the habeas.
Or find another investigator.
'Cause if we start changing the rules when they affect your love life, I quit.
Over this? Bad time? What is it? You asked me to look into the other employees at Alyssa's law firm? You found a suspect? Sure did-- Darryl Lencoski.
He worked in the mailroom.
But two weeks after Alyssa was arrested, he quit-- goes to work at an accounting firm, and get this-- he was fired for using crystal meth on the job.
Well, supporting a drug habit would give him motive to steal.
And to quit his job and find a new one-- that's to put distance between himself and the law firm.
Yeah, I think we should at least talk to him.
Yeah.
I remember when she was arrested.
Everybody thought it was a mistake.
- You were friends? - We were friendly.
She was nicer than a lot of people who worked there.
Did she ever talk to you about her work? No.
Just basketball.
She liked the sonics.
I like the warriors.
Now you left the firm two weeks after Alyssa was arrested, right? I had to find a job closer to home.
The job you lost from using crystal.
That was I've been clean for years, thanks to my church.
I thought you were here to talk about Alyssa.
Do you remember what you were doing the night before Alyssa was arrested? Probably taking my mom to church.
.
St.
Constantine's, thursday services.
Yeah, we're checking out his alibi now.
St.
Constantine's on Howard, right.
Okay.
Hey, hey.
Give me the folder.
Listen, Conti About earlier, I know we lost it, all right, but No, no.
You deserve an answer to your question, Sonya.
Look I did know that Swain was with Locallo at the time I told you to back off, and, um I apologize.
I was I was wrong.
Thanks.
Hold on a second.
I think Brianna got something.
What? The symbol.
- Conti, talk to Lencoski again.
- Okay.
The symbol on mrs.
Terzian's head looks like a russian orthodox cross.
Darryl? Yeah, I need an ambulance, corner of Marshall and Chavez streets.
We're closed, man.
I'm not here to shop.
Oh, hey, man.
It's not my fault that Mason went all Gulf war syndrome on you.
I'm here about Darryl Lencoski.
Am I supposed to know who that is? The friend who owed you money for crystal once upon a time.
Look, man, I don't know where you-- He's the guy you tried to kill tonight.
By the way--next time you break into a house, don't get your pick stuck in the lock.
Should've tried that graphite lubricant, huh? So Darryl phones you.
Is that it Told you we were on to him-- onto the fact that he slipped Alyssa's inventories out of her files, onto the fact that you cased the Terzian home, but you didn't expect them to come home early that night.
So you had to kill them.
And onto the fact that Darryl, good churchgoing boy that he was, felt so guilty about the murders that he made a cross on mrs.
Terzian's head.
And onto the fact that when Darryl saw the police take Alyssa away, it was your perfect chance to plant the jade in her car and let her hang for what you did.
- I knew you were a cop.
No.
Much worse-- an ex-cop without a pension.
Freeze! Hands behind your head.
Now! Okay, let's go.
- Nice catch, detective.
- That's what backup's for.
It's been a while since I had it.
So that other guy-- Darryl Lencoski-- he's on his way to the hospital.
Two for one.
We should do this more often.
I thought Sonya and Brianna might Yeah, they're on another case.
Here.
You all right? I bet women don't even wear dresses like this anymore.
I got a lot of catching up to do.
Well - Ready? - Yeah.
- Surprise! - Oh, my god.
