Rebel (2021) s01e09 Episode Script
Trial Day
1
I will have dinner with you
if you'd still like to do that.
And by dinner, I mean
I will consider being in
a monogamous relationship with you.
Previously on "Rebel"
- Okay.
- Okay, then.
Do you know if there is a characteristic
in the Stonemore valve that
causes people to be sick?
Yes.
My dad had a kid
with a woman named Allison.
I want to get high, except I
don't actually want to get high,
so I came here.
Can I sleep over?
You were mad when I brought home Ziggy,
so you went and had a baby
with someone else?
Get off the boat. I'm leaving.
Aah!

REPORTER #4:
As Stonemore Medical Corporation
goes to trial today
defending their groundbreaking
mechanical heart valve,
consumer advocate Annie Flynn Ray Bello,
who is the face
of the case against them
faces charges of drunk
and disorderly conduct
- REBEL: Oh! I can't stand you, Grady!
- amidst swirling rumors
- of a troubled marriage
- Oh, God!
and increasingly erratic behavior.
Well, I think they were both drunk.
For sure, they were both loud and messy.
I'm just grateful the world
is finally seeing this woman
- for what she is.
- REPORTER: Which is what?
She's a grifter.
She's got no education, no expertise.
She's basically a con artist
who uses the legal system
to run her cons.
I'm honestly looking forward
to our day in court.
REBEL: Turn it off!
[TELEVISION CLICKS OFF]
Oh, my God.
I'm really sorry, babe.
No. You don't talk.
You have to be here,
but you don't get to talk.
[SIGHS] This is why Benji didn't settle.
Because now he has the jury
prejudiced against our case
because my name is attached to it
and my reputation is trash.
It's trash this week. But the
news cycle will change and
The trial is this week.
Where do you think you're going?
I'm going for a walk.
- No!
- No!
Grady, sit down!
You're not the boss of me, Lana.
Grady!
,
If you ever loved me,
you will sit back down.
It is trial day, and there are
reporters in the yard.
We cannot afford
to feed this story in any way.
Ugh!

WOMAN: Hey. Ziggy: Damn it.
MAN: Actually, I think
we're going live here.
ZIGGY: Park over there.
WOMAN #2: Ziggy, is there
anything you want to say to

MAN #2: We're up We're up front.
Ziggy, is your mother an alcoholic?
Can you confirm if your mother
has been sent to rehab?
MAN #3: Is your mother abusive
or just neglectful?
My mother is not the problem.
My father is a lying, cheating
asshat who never wanted me!
That's the problem! Report on that.
- Ziggy!
- Ziggy!
[REPORTERS CLAMORING]
Why hasn't he called, mm?
Why am I getting ready
for court? Any thoughts on that?
Mm?
[CELLPHONE CHIMES]
You calling me?
REPORTER: The teenage daughter
of Annie Flynn Ray Bello
has confirmed rumors
that Bello's marital distress
may be the cause
of her latest public meltdown.
My father is a lying, cheating
asshat who never wanted me!
That's the problem! Report on that.
[HORN HONKS IN DISTANCE]
I guess this may be why.
Mornin', Zig.
Uh, can we go get a cup of coffee?
Coffee machine in there is broken.
Uh, there's some coffee in the house.
- I'd like to go to a coffee shop.
- That's a bad idea.
Okay, you can't keep me locked up
like I'm some kind of prisoner.
Well, that's not what I'm doing.
I'm protecting you.
Because you were scared to go home.
Really? Because it seems like
you're a cop telling me
I can't go to a coffee shop.
I'm just here to keep you safe
and get you to court on time.
Unless you want a bunch
of cameras in your face,
I suggest you get some coffee
in the house.
You did this. You did this to our lives.
It's almost over.
I will go and get the coffee.
[DOOR SLAMS]
LANA: Seriously, Zig, that was not cool.
They ambushed me! I had nowhere to go!
You gave them an exclusive,
and now it has gone viral.
We told you not to comment!
- I didn't comment!
- They told us not to pass!
GRADY: Of course I wanted you, Ziggy!
How could you even think that?
That is called gaslighting, Dad.
LANA: Alright, everybody
just needs to calm down!
Yeah, you tell her to calm down!
REBEL: You do not talk to me that way!
- Oh, my God!
- You do not tell me to calm down!
- Who are you talking to?!
- Oh, whatever!
[ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]
What is wrong with you?!
My father is a lying, cheating asshat
- Hey, um, which shoe?
- who never wanted me! That's
What was that?
Oh, Ziggy just made a statement,
started a whole new news cycle.
Really? What did she say?
You know, you could sound
a little less giddy.
Our sister's in pain.
You're right. It's just
Mom always makes the press work for her,
and now she's not.
So, yeah, I am a little giddy.
Even though I feel for Ziggy
and want to kill Grady
and it's all very confusing.
But which shoe?
Uh, the pink one says,
"I'm down to party."
The black one says,
"My client's innocent."
But my girlfriend says
your client's guilty as sin,
so I'd go with the pink one.
Girlfriend?
Ooh. [LAUGHS]
I don't think I've heard you
use that word since
Becky in 11th grade.
- Becky in the 11th grade!
- Yeah.
She was so cool.
She was so cool. Way too cool for me.
Just like Misha.
Misha's not too cool for you.
Too cold for you, maybe.
Too, uh, self-satisfied?
I think I love her.
What?
I mean, I-I c I could love her.
You know, if I let myself, I-I
I could love her.
Uh, do I tell her?
[CHUCKLING] No. I mean,
you ghosted her the last time.
I know, which is brutal,
'cause her last boyfriend
lied to her for like two years.
- Really?
- He was her mentor,
and she trusted him
when he said he was separated,
that he was getting divorced,
that he needed more time
because he had kids.
And it turns out, he's just married.
- Damn.
- Yeah.
So she's got trust issues,
I've got intimacy issues,
and it's like
[INHALES SHARPLY]
I don't know what the play is.
Do I tell her how I feel?
Try to lock it in?
No. Definitely not that.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Just keep showing up,
being the amazing human being
that you are and she'll warm up.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
And by the way,
I kind of hate both shoes. Mm, too late.
Good luck at trial. And by good
luck, I mean I hope you lose,
but I hope you impress everyone
you're trying to impress.
- [DOOR OPENS]
- Thanks, big brother.
[DOOR CLOSES] [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
Come on. Let's do this.
I just don't understand
why they haven't settled.
The chemist is a smoking gun.
- Do you have a theory?
- I have a theory.
Yeah.
[CELLPHONE RINGING]
It's her. Give me a second.
- Yeah.
- REBEL: Let me talk to them.
Not a good time.
Let me talk to them.
Let her talk to us.
She got us here. People make mistakes.
Pretty big mistake.
Hi, everybody.
I wanted to say good luck.
I wanted to tell you, you got this.
Your case is righteous,
and you're gonna save thousands
of lives all over the world.
And I'm sorry
I'm sorry about that mugshot.
It It isn't what it looks like.
You look like a drunk drowned rat.
I wasn't drunk, Jason.
But that doesn't matter now.
What matters now is the case.
It is bigger than me
or any photograph of me.
Helen, you did this.
You organized. You fought.
Now go in there and win.
Thank you.
And you look great, Helen.
Oh, well, thanks to you, I feel great.
Come on.
She looks too good.
I don't think
I can put her on the stand.
Tell her to take
some of that lipstick off.
And, Cruz, listen to me
You got this. You got the chemist.
And Benji's trying
to hang this whole thing
on the press surrounding me?
This never had anything to do with me.
- So he is a fool. You're not.
- [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
And you've got this.
Hey! Trial day.
Better than Christmas, am I right?
And that mugshot,
that was the star
on the top of the tree.

Cruz?
Get in there and crush that bitch.

Call it love if you will
I'm aware of this
I didn't let you in
BAILIFF: All rise. Department 1
of the Superior Court
of the State of California
for the County of Los Angeles
is now in session.
The Honorable Katerina Bobiak,
judge presiding.
Please be seated.
Gentlemen, I'll admit
I'm surprised to find myself here today.
I fully expected news of a settlement.
You and I both, Your Honor.
My client prefers to take his
chances with a jury, Your Honor.
In that case, let's proceed.
Bailiff, please show the jury in.
Hey. You want to hit a meeting?
No, I really very much do not.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
Hey, Zig. Time to go to court.
You're going to court?
No, I can't. I'm a distraction.
But you can, and you should.
Mom, your mugshots
are literally everywhere.
Do you get how embarrassing
that is for me?
You should see the memes!
- I'm a meme?
- No, you're not a meme.
You're like a hundred memes.
"When a really good Friday night
turns into a really bad Saturday."
Oh, "When you have one too many
and you make your bed in a dumpster."
"That day your hair dryer
goes on the fritz."
And, "Mama's got a brand new warrant."
[CHUCKLING] That's my favorite one.
Mom, there's just no way
that Cruz is gonna win today.
And I can't stand going to
watch him lose this case
because Dad didn't want me.
Oh, Ziggy.
Your dad loves you.
It was a complicated time.
And I'm mad at him, too, clearly.
But you have earned the right
to go to court
and watch Cruz win
Which he will, because
my mugshot means nothing.
And because we have the chemist
and he has admitted to everything.
So, you deserve to go to court
and watch Cruz win.
Also, I need someone
to go and text me updates
because I'm gonna go crazy not knowing.
- Do you want to hit a meeting?
- Yeah.
Well
[SIGHS]
I guess it goes without saying but
I won't talk to the press.
Thank you!

[BREATHING HEAVILY] Hey. You okay?
Define okay.
Neither homicidal or suicidal
at the present moment.
Well, I can't lie
I do have some fantasies
about running Grady over with my car.
- Yeah, me, too.
- But I have no plans to do it,
so I guess by your definition,
yes, I'm okay.
- Are you in court?
- No. For some crazy reason,
Cruz wants a heart doctor on
the stand instead of an OB-GYN.
- And you're not interested?
- Of course I'm interested.
But, you know, Misha's nervous,
and I don't want to make her
any more nervous.
Hey, is there any chance that
out of love for your mother,
who pushed your giant head
into the world
and suffered a vaginal tear
that required nine stitches
- Ugh!
- you might consider
going to court and texting me updates?
Because I get it Misha is nervous,
but I am on the verge
of a nervous breakdown.
A simple "please" would've sufficed
without a reference
to your vaginal tear.
Alright. Whatever works.
[SIREN WAILING, HORN HONKS IN DISTANCE]
We should be able to trust our doctors.
But in order to trust our doctors,
we need to be able to trust
the companies
that provide our doctors
with the tools they use to heal us.
But you look at the faces
in this courtroom
[WOMAN CLEARS THROAT LIGHTLY]
you see people
that have been gravely injured
by the very people
they trusted to heal them.
And that's why this case matters.
Because what you decide in this case
could have a very real impact
Not just on these people,
but on how medical device companies
do business in the future.
Stonemore Medical Corporation
did not take the time or spend the money
to test their heart valve
on human beings
before they put it on the market,
and that decision
gravely injured people.
And when they learned that their
product was injuring people,
they did nothing about it.
And that's what I'll prove to you.
They poisoned people,
they knew they were doing it,
and they refused to stop.
And that should not only anger
you, it should terrify you.
Because whether you personally
will ever need a heart valve,
you will need a doctor.
And you should be able
to trust that doctor.
Thank you.
Mr. Ray.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
I put on a blue suit this morning,
and the sun rose this morning.
Both of those things are facts.
But it would be an absurdity
for me to believe
that because I put on my blue
suit, I caused the sun to rise.
Just because two things are true
doesn't mean they're connected.
These folks that Mr. Cruz
is representing are sick.
That's a fact.
And they all have
Stonemore heart valves
That's also a fact.
But just because two things are true
doesn't mean they're connected.
It is up to the plaintiffs
and Mr. Cruz to prove
that the heart valve
caused their illness
and Stonemore knew it did
and ignored it.
So, I'm asking you to listen
carefully for that proof.
Don't be swayed by emotional stories.
Look past the coincidence and innuendo
and look for the hard evidence
that links the heart valve
with the plaintiffs' illness.
You won't find it.
Thank you.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
MISHA: [EXHALES DEEPLY]
Hey. You okay?
Yeah, I'm just, uh, shaking out my arms.
I can see that. Why?
Anxious energy. It needs out,
and this helps get it out.
I mean, I know it looks a little
crazy, but what's crazier
I mean, shaking out your arms
and looking a little weird
or shoving it down and giving
yourself a panic attack
because you don't want to look weird?
- [SHUDDERING]
- Yeah.
Feels good, right? Yeah, kind of does.
[LAUGHS]
Ugh, I know too much.
- Huh?
- About FDA loopholes.
I stayed up all night
reading about FDA loopholes.
I pray to God I never need a new hip.
- A hip?
- The key is
to find the oldest model.
If you ever need
a-a hip replacement or a knee
or, God forbid, a heart valve
Just basically any foreign object
that someone like me
wants to sew into your body,
make sure you get
the oldest model you can find,
because that one was actually
tested on human beings.
The new ones have all
been grandfathered in
because of that freakin' FDA loophole
that was sold to the medical
device industry
by those crooked politicians.
[SIGHING] What?
What what?
Why are you looking at me like that?
I don't know. Just 'cause
love.
What?
Or you know, I-I could almost just
Never mind. Wow. Okay.
Y-You mind if I go in and watch?
My mom asked me
if I'd live-tweet
the whole thing via text.
You're a good son.
Yeah. [CHUCKLES]
Me, too.
Huh?
I "could just wow
almost never mind," too.
I hope you sound smarter
than that on the stand.
You were on the verge of death.
I was. And my doctor will
testify to that later today.
And now, since you removed the valve?
I haven't had energy like this in years.
You're healthy. You're strong.
Healthy. I'm not so sure
about strong just yet,
because I'm grieving my granddaughter,
who died at only two days old
because of Stonemore.
Objection, lacks foundation.
Sustained. Strike that
last sentence from the record.
Helen, physically, you feel better?
Um, physically, I feel whole.
Emotionally, I never will be.
Nothing further. Thank you, Helen.
Yes.
Mr. Ray, your witness.
Ms. Peterson, do you have
a history of hypochondria
or psychosomatic illness in your family?
I-I don't know what
Let me help you out.
What was that name again, Mr. Chapman?
Wilhelmina Harper.
Right.
My memory is not what it was
before I got the Stonemore valve.
Wilhelmina Harper
was my father's mother,
and she was briefly institutionalized
during the polio era.
She had hysterical polio.
So she didn't test positive for polio,
but she managed to manifest
all of the symptoms of polio?
- That's right.
- Wow.
The brain is a powerful thing, isn't it?
It can manifest real symptoms
based on a hard and fast belief.
Do you think it's possible
it can do the opposite?
Relieve physical symptoms
based on hard and fast belief?
- I don't know.
- Like if you believed
a heart valve was making you sick
and then you had it removed?
Objection, Your Honor.
Calls for speculation.
JUDGE BOBIAK: Sustained.
Was your grandmother ever
released from the institution?
- She was.
- How did they treat her?
I don't know.
Didn't they give her a placebo shot
and tell her it was a vaccine
that reversed symptoms of polio?
My grandmother was also an alcoholic
who beat her husband
and her children with a broom.
I am nothing like her,
and her experience does not inform mine.
But genetics. I mean
It's hard to know
which ones you got, isn't it?
Objection, Your Honor.
He is badgering my witness.
- JUDGE BOBIAK: Sustained.
- Just one last question.
How did you meet Annie Flynn Ray Bello,
the advocate
who introduced you to Mr. Cruz?
Objection, relevance.
I withdraw the question, Your Honor.
Nothing further for this witness.

CRUZ: Professor, how did you feel
during the time that you had the
Stonemore valve in your body?
I suffered immensely. Intensely.
Profoundly. Just, every other
adverb you can think of.
And some adjectives, too.
And how was your life affected
by your illness?
For starters, my boyfriend left me.
It wasn't a perfect relationship.
Uh, he wasn't all that bright,
and he would tell you
I'm not all that kind, but
A-Anyway, uh,
once I started to get sick,
I became truly miserable, and he left.
But eventually,
you had the valve removed?
Yes, I did. Uh, because
my sister-in-law works
for the insurance company,
and so she pulled some strings.
[CHUCKLES]
She gives the world's worst
birthday presents,
so she made up for it
by falsifying some documents for me.

I-I was kidding.
Th Th
That was a joke.

I'm I'm nervous.
And when I get nervous,
I get caustic, so that I'm sorry.

How did you feel when the valve
was removed from your body?
Th-The removal repaired everything.
Except my personality. [CHUCKLES]
Is this thing on?
Sorry. Yeah.
Thank you, Professor.
No further questions, Your Honor.
Professor Erickson,
were you recently accused

Professor, did you
break a student's ribs?

If I die in prison,
you have to promise me
to get my research
to to another scientist.

who can think outside the box.
I'm so close to fixing this.
- I'm so close.
- Karsten, listen to me.
I know you feel responsible
for all these people suffering

that new valve coating
is gonna solve everything, but it won't.

- So, the valve was corroded?
- [DOOR OPENS]
Yes. And those valves
are not supposed to corrode.
- Not so much?
- Not at all.
Not at all.
So, your theory is?
Our study found that patients
with the Stonemore valve
had elevated nickel levels,
compared to those without the valve.
So, the theory is that
the corroded valve leaks nickel
into the bloodstream,
and nickel causes autoimmunity,
and that's what caused Helen's
liver to stop functioning.
- Objection, speculative.
- Sustained.
Well, of course it's speculative.
I can only speculate,
because before I could study it,
- Stonemore stole it.
- Objection.
- Sustained.
- Or they had it stolen.
- Objection! Lacks foundation.
- Sustained.
Oh, okay. So, I guess the valve
just randomly disappeared
out of the lab from which
nothing ever disappears?
- Objection, Your Honor!
- Dr. Nelson, I'll caution you
to please avoid sarcasm, as
tempting as it can sometimes be.
Okay, then. Um
How about this?
I'm a scientist.
As a scientist, it is my job
to posit theories
and then try to prove it.
If this was a thesis,
the theory that I would
set about trying to prove
The most likely theory,
all things considered
Is that someone working for Stonemore,
possibly one of their lawyers,
stole the damning valve.
Objection!
Sustained.
Dr. Nelson, in your medical opinion,
is the Stonemore valve causing harm?
In my medical opinion,
in certain patients,
the Stonemore valve
is causing more than harm.
It's causing death.
No further questions, Your Honor.
[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]
[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]
Mr. Ray?
What? No.
This one's got to come from you.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Dr. Nelson, we can all see
that you are a rule breaker,
as evidenced by your performance
here today.
Ms. Ray, ask a question.
Dr. Nelson, are you
in the habit of lying,
exaggerating, deceiving?
I am not.
Huh. Did you spend two years
in an adulterous relationship
with a married colleague?
CRUZ: Objection, relevance!
I'll rephrase.
While you were in that relationship
with your married mentor,
did you co-author any studies with him?
Objection, relevance.
It goes to the witness's
character, Your Honor.
She's speculating and theorizing.
Therefore, her character,
her trustworthiness,
whether or not she sleeps
her way to the top, is relevant.
She was in a romantic relationship
with a married mentor.
Who knows what kind
of leg up he gave her?
Who knows if her medical opinion
can be trusted?
She's currently in a relationship
with her co-author
on the Stonemore study,
and I think that establishes
a pattern that is relevant.
I disagree, Counselor.
Not only is it irrelevant,
I find this line of questioning
repugnant.
Mr. Cruz, your objection is sustained,

You said that you were inspired
to develop this valve
because of your own brother's
heart issues.
My brother's, my father,
and two of my uncles.
I'd like to focus
on your brother for the moment.
After developing
this mechanical heart valve
out of a desire to help your brother,
why did you then tell him
not to get the Stonemore valve?
Objection, lacks foundation.
My apologies, Your Honor. I'll rephrase.
Mr. Duncan, does your brother,
Jacob Duncan,
currently have
the Stonemore mechanical valve?
No.
Can you explain to us why not?
My brother Jake suffers from,
uh, a condition called hyperacusis.
It means he's hypersensitive
to ordinary sounds
that most of us wouldn't notice.
All mechanical heart valves
make a gentle oscillating sound.
Uh, most people adjust.
Uh, as with our heartbeat
or our pulse, the brain adjusts,
and eventually
you don't hear it anymore.
But we were concerned that Jake,
who could fly into a rage
at the sound of somebody chewing
popcorn in a movie theater
20 seats away, would not adjust.
So, while the Stonemore valve
was developed with him in mind,
uh, we ultimately decided
that he should stick
with a porcine valve
because it is silent.
I'd like to remind you
that you're under oath.
Okay?

any reason at all,

for the porcine valve?

yes, I'm okay.

Cruz wants a heart doctor on
the stand instead of an OB-GYN.
- And you're not interested?
- Of course I'm interested.
But, you know, Misha's nervous,
and I don't want to make her
any more nervous.
Hey, is there any chance that
out of love for your mother,
who pushed your giant head
into the world
and suffered a vaginal tear
that required nine stitches
- Ugh!

We should be able to trust our doctors.
But in order to trust our doctors,
we need to be able to trust
the companies
that provide our doctors
with the tools they use to heal us.
But you look at the faces
in this courtroom
[WOMAN CLEARS THROAT LIGHTLY]
you see people
that have been gravely injured
by the very people
they trusted to heal them.
And that's why this case matters.
Because what you decide in this case
could have a very real impact
Not just on these people,
but on how medical device companies
do business in the future.
Stonemore Medical Corporation
did not take the time or spend the money
to test their heart valve
on human beings
before they put it on the market,
and that decision
gravely injured people.
And when they learned that their
product was injuring people,
they did nothing about it.
And that's what I'll prove to you.
They poisoned people,
they knew they were doing it,
and they refused to stop.
And that should not only anger
you, it should terrify you.
Because whether you personally
will ever need a heart valve,
you will need a doctor.
And you should be able
to trust that doctor.
Thank you.
Mr. Ray.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
I put on a blue suit this morning,
and the sun rose this morning.
Both of those things are facts.
But it would be an absurdity
for me to believe
that because I put on my blue
suit, I caused the sun to rise.
Just because two things are true
doesn't mean they're connected.
These folks that Mr. Cruz
is representing are sick.
That's a fact.
And they all have
Stonemore heart valves
That's also a fact.
But just because two things are true
doesn't mean they're connected.
It is up to the plaintiffs
and Mr. Cruz to prove
that the heart valve
caused their illness
and Stonemore knew it did
and ignored it.
So, I'm asking you to listen
carefully for that proof.
Don't be swayed by emotional stories.
Look past the coincidence and innuendo
and look for the hard evidence
that links the heart valve
with the plaintiffs' illness.
You won't find it.
Thank you.

Ms. Peterson, do you have
a history of hypochondria

I-I don't know what
Let me help you out.
What was that name again, Mr. Chapman?
Wilhelmina Harper.
Right.
My memory is not what it was
before I got the Stonemore valve.
Wilhelmina Harper
was my father's mother,
and she was briefly institutionalized
during the polio era.
She had hysterical polio.
So she didn't test positive for polio,
but she managed to manifest
all of the symptoms of polio?
- That's right.
- Wow.
The brain is a powerful thing, isn't it?
It can manifest real symptoms
based on a hard and fast belief.
Do you think it's possible
it can do the opposite?
Relieve physical symptoms
based on hard and fast belief?
- I don't know.
- Like if you believed
a heart valve was making you sick
and then you had it removed?
Objection, Your Honor.
Calls for speculation.
JUDGE BOBIAK: Sustained.
Was your grandmother ever
released from the institution?
- She was.
- How did they treat her?
I don't know.
Didn't they give her a placebo shot
and tell her it was a vaccine
that reversed symptoms of polio?
My grandmother was also an alcoholic
who beat her husband
and her children with a broom.
I am nothing like her,
and her experience does not inform mine.
But genetics. I mean
It's hard to know
which ones you got, isn't it?

For starters, my boyfriend left me.
It wasn't a perfect relationship.

and he would tell you
I'm not all that kind, but
A-Anyway, uh,
once I started to get sick,
I became truly miserable, and he left.
But eventually,
you had the valve removed?
Yes, I did. Uh, because
my sister-in-law works
for the insurance company,
and so she pulled some strings.

Yes. And those valves

So, your theory is?
Our study found that patients
with the Stonemore valve
had elevated nickel levels,
compared to those without the valve.
So, the theory is that
the corroded valve leaks nickel
into the bloodstream,
and nickel causes autoimmunity,
and that's what caused Helen's
liver to stop functioning.

All mechanical heart valves
make a gentle oscillating sound.

to this case,
so I will excuse your
tone of voice this one time.
Bring me proof of witness tampering,
and I will consider granting a mistrial.
But without that proof
I don't always like the law,
but I always have to follow it.
Understood, Your Honor,
then, respectfully,
I'd like to request a continuance
to give time for the
Los Angeles Police Department
to find where Stonemore
hid my star witness.
- Your Honor
- The continuance is granted.
This court is in recess for 36 hours.
We will proceed at 9:00 a.m. Thursday,
witness or no witness, Mr. Cruz.
Now, if you will please
excuse me, I have a headache
and a dinner date.

Thank you, Sean.
You did excellent work.
Whoa.
Whoa is right.
You drive a hard bargain, kid.
Don't look so sad.
You stole a phone, and you got $20,000
for your efforts.
This is life-changing money.
Huh? You could put
a roof over your head.
You could maybe go to school
and make something out of your life.
Just don't do it in L.A.,
'cause your girlfriend's mom owns guns.
Hey, uh
You You think it's alright
if I say goodbye to Ziggy?
No, sweetheart, that is not a good idea.
Just get out of town.
For God's sake,
put that money in the bank.
