MARK: Previously on All Rise
Your dad reaching out
isn't a bad thing, Mark.
MARK: This is Vic
we're talking about, Amy.
Anytime he reaches out is suspect.
LUKE: Were you serious about,
- not wanting kids?
- I'm not there.
When you pass the bar,
you'll have to give
your client a rigorous defense.
[NESS SQUEALS] I passed the bar!
ROBIN: I told Andre to stay
the fuck away from you.
I probably would've done the same.
I will deal with Andre once and for all.
[SOFT MUSIC]
CAMILA: Take a deep breath.
Inhale the future.
Exhale the past.
Use the rest of your Sunday
to reflect on the present.
Namaste.
- SARA: Namaste.
- [LONG SIGH]
I am not moving.
Why don't we do this more often?
Girl, are you crazy?
Do you know how hard it was
to get into this class?
SARA: [STRAINING] Oh, my God.
Thank you so much for coming to class.
You did a great job
and I can't wait to see you next week.
EMMANUEL: You look amazing, babe.
CAMILA: Before you leave
I invite you to take
some Nectar Studio samples.
We've got a new line of lovely items
that promote the manifestation
of good vibrations,
align chakras, and foster intimacy.
- "Foster intimacy".
- [SARA SNICKERS]
Ugh, I'll give it a shot.
EMILY: Such a good class.
Thanks, Camila.
Man, I could use
all the good intimacy vibes
I can get right now.
Is uh, is Gabriel out of the picture?
Hmm, not exactly.
But, he's not totally
in the picture either.
I don't know, every time we go out
I expect Bravo to leap out
of the bushes and fire me.
[EMILY LAUGHS]
Well, ever since I told Luke
that I don't want kids,
it feels like he is leaping into
the bushes to hide from me.
That's not a deal breaker, is it?
[SIGHS] I don't know.
I'm sure we'll figure it out.
What's the rest of your day like?
No more namaste for me.
I've a ton of work to do.
- You're such a workhorse.
- Ow.
EMMANUEL: This is incredible
content for the channel.
So real.
WOMAN: Can we take
a selfie with you, Camila?
Smiles. Great. Beautiful.
OFFICER: Ms. Callow.
Am I under arrest, officer?
You're being placed
under arrest for murder.

- Gonna be so late.
- Morning sex was your idea.
[SCOFFS] It was a great idea,
but now I gotta go.
- MARK: Shit.

Solicitors are out of control.
- Counselor.
- AMY: Vic.
Oh my, God. What are you doing here?
Well I'm in town on business
and I was in the neighborhood,

- Cellphones don't exist, Vic?
- It's nice to see you.
- You too.
Yeah, uh, listen,
I I'd love to catch up,
but we're running late for work, so
I I understand I'll get
right out of your hair.
We'll come by for dinner tonight.
- I would love that.
- Where you staying?
Well, that's a good question.
My hotel double booked,
so I'm having a hell of a time
finding decent accommodations
that aren't gonna cost me
an arm and a leg.
Well, if you can't find a place to stay,
you you can always
- stay in our guest room.
- Deal.
- SHERRI: Morning.
- Whoa.
- Sherri!
- Happy Monday, Your Honor.
You are like
the navy seals of the H.O.J.,
first one in, last one to leave.
What do you got for me today, Kansky?
You are in high demand, Your Honor.
Ever since your face graced the
cover of Legal Motion magazine,
I have received dozens of requests
- for speaking engagements.
- It's about damn time.
- Anything good?
- Mm-hmm.
"International Conference on Law".
- Snooze.
- "The Women in Law Summit".
- [IMITATES SNORING]
- [SHERRI LAUGHS] Okay.
Well, the requests
are gonna keep coming.
The interview for Legal Motion magazine
is still on the calendar,
they're filming that
"Day in the Life of Judge
Lola Carmichael" segment.
[SIGHS] Why did I agree to do that?
Too late to back out now.
They'll be here any minute.
- Wait, that's today?
- Yes it's today,
you know it's today
[PHONE DING]
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
Not today, Andre.
Do I wanna know what the
You know what?
- None of my business
- It's your business by proxy.
Yes, yes it is. It is
my business by proxy.
Do we wanna let him down easy?
- Or
- It doesn't need to be easy.
It just I need him out of my life.
Oh, brutal. I like it.
♪
Good morning, Ms. Palmer.
- Mr. Biswas.
- I just wanna say,
it's an honor to be seating
second chair with you
on this trial today.
Did you know Keurig means
excellence in Dutch?
I did not, but I will be sure
to keep it in mind
the next time I'm in Amsterdam.
Ironically, the use of Keurigs
are frowned upon in Europe.
[STEADY TAPPING]
So, did you get the memo
about the announcement
for Head Deputy D.A.?
- I did.
- Who do you think Bravo chose?
WOMAN: Hello, Mr. Callan.
Big day today, Maggie.
I knew it!
Congratulations.
I cannot wait to be
running this shit show.
Frankly, we thought you'd
be a little more excited
about your first case.
I know this opportunity
means the world to me.
And I don't want to seem
ungrateful, but
- But?
- I just thought
I'd be sinking my teeth into something
with a little bit more substance.
I get it, you want to be
an agent of change.
We all had altruistic intentions
when we signed up for this job.
Yeah, one of these days
you will be arguing cases
in front of the Supreme Court.
But, until that day,
you'll have to pay your bills
by representing some
people you don't like.
- [BELL RING]
- Speak of the devil.
- Knock-knock.
- AMY: Hi, come on in.
NESS: Thank you so much
for coming a little early.
Ms. Callow, I'm Andre.
It's a pleasure to finally
meet you in person.
This is Emmanuel, Camila's boyfriend.
EMMANUEL: Try not to look
directly in the camera.
It takes the viewer out
of the moment. Thanks.
Well, typically we don't allow
filming in the office,
due to the privileged nature.
Oh, I wanna tell her story.
Her struggle.
All of this is going in the documentary,
and it could be good publicity.
Can't be serious. Who
who who is this guy?
I just wanna make people's lives better.
When a stranger comes up to me in public
with a smile on their face,
that is worth more to me
than any amount of money in the world.
'Kay, well someone died
because you violated a court order
and continued to sell
contaminated products
- to the public.
- Allegedly.
CAMILA: Okay, look.
Can I just be honest?
I don't even use this stuff.
I don't need to. It sells itself.
I don't practice half the bullshit
people pay me to preach.
It's just business.
It's certainly not murder.
REPORTER: The lightning
and sounds looks good,
we just wanna make sure that
we get the depth of the office.
Ah, excuse me.
Another trial media request form.
For access to the Callow courtroom feed.
LOLA: Another one?
Yeah, don't you love Hollywood?
- LOLA: It's so good I do.
- SHERRI: Oh, ah, you know,
it is your prerogative
to deny them access.
Prosecution and the defense
have the opportunity to object
to media request.
If they don't I don't really
have a reason to deny them.
SHERRI: Um.
[PHONE VIBRATING]
Just gonna go around, yeah.
[LOLA EXHALES DEEPLY]
REPORTER: Shouldn't be
too much longer setting up,
Judge Carmichael.
♪
All right folks, listen up.
I'm gonna make this as quick
and painless as possible.
I wanna review the memo I sent
out regarding my policies
for L.A. County moving forward.
First and foremost, we are
suspending the pursuance
of cash bail for misdemeanors,
non-violent,
and non-serious felony offenses.
We already tried this, it doesn't work.
Let's save the questions until the end.
The numbers show a good
percentage of these people
commit more crimes while
awaiting their trial dates.
Well frankly,
it's a system rooted in racism.
We're no longer letting criminals free,
just because they're
rich enough to pay bail.
And we're not going
to punish poor people
who haven't been convicted of a crime,
because they can't afford bail.
Mhm, fair enough.
We're also putting a hold
on alleging gang enhancements
and the transfer
of juveniles to adult court.
Does this new gang enhancement
policy have anything to do
with the recent discovery of gangs
within the L.A. County
Sheriff's Department?
No.
Any other questions?
Terrific. All right.
Now that we have that out of the way,
I have a very special
announcement to make.
Ladies and gentlemen
I'd like to introduce you
to our new Head Deputy D.A
Mr. Mark Callan.
SARA: What?!
[LOUD CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
- No. Absolutely not.
- TEDDY: Congrats, Mr. Callan.
Woo!
[LOUD CHEERING & APPLAUSE]
Congratulations, Mark.
[APPLAUSE]
[CHEERING]
[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]
- Sir, I
- A little professional
courtesy would've been nice.
Guys, with everything in life,
things change.
Where is this decision coming from?
Look, I gave you the opportunity
to fill this role
or choose a qualified
candidate who could.
You didn't, so, I chose for you.
I wrote a letter of
recommendation for Tony Carver.
- Ah!
- No offense.
That is the least offensive thing
I've heard in this office today.
Carver is a dinosaur
counting the days until his retirement.
What's the issue here?
I wasn't ready for commitment.
BRAVO: This isn't up for debate, Callan.
Either take the job, or find a new one.
Now Maggie, I can assure you,
there are other opportunities
on the horizon that
you will be next in line for.
Don't patronize me.
You just lectured us
about the importance
of a quality and equity
in the justice system.
Then you promoted "the white guy".
It's all performative, no offense.
- None taken.
- Are we done here?
I have a hearing in 30.
[SIGHS] Well, that wasn't nearly as bad
as I thought it was gonna be.
The day is not over yet.
[LOUD SIGHING]
Hey, thanks for marking
those exhibits for me.
What are you talking about?
Those are the exhibits
I'm using in court today.
Wait, this this isn't
evidence, Teddy.
- It's lotion.
- No, no, I I
It smells so good, too.
So, uh, about that,
we're charging the CEO
with second degree murder.
Which is unfortunate, 'cause
I'm a big fan of her movies.
Oh, my God, and I loved her yoga class.
B b but that lotion
is linked to the spread
of a rare tropical disease here in L.A.
Someone died using that stuff.
Tell me you were joking.
I I mean I wouldn't
worry about it too much.
The Marburg viruses
only fail about half the time.
But, if you find yourself
with a fever, ulcers,
- sores, dry cough, chest
- SARA: Oh, my God,
Teddy. Just shut up!
Oh, my God. Get it off of me.
Please get out of the way
my hands are poison.
Mr. Watkins.
I don't believe we've ever formally met.
I've been quietly watching
your work after the Camera case.
Between that and rogue
arson investigation
you're making a name
for yourself in these hallways.
I appreciate that.
You ever thought about
joining a private firm?
Not really. The public defender's office
is right where I wanna be.
I feel like I just had this conversation
with one of my associates.
You know, doing good work
for the community
and being broke doesn't
have to be synonymous.
- Ouch.
- [CHUCKLES]
Hey, I'm just giving
you a hard time. Here.
Take my business card.
Yeah, I get one of these
for each of my associates
on their one year anniversary.
Wow.
All I got was a $25
gift card to Shake Shack.
Well, you have my number,

to make the move, come see me.

SHERRI: Good morning, Ms. Johnson.
NESS: Hi.
Hey, a little advice between you and me.
You look scared shitless.
These cameras are going to catch
every facial expression
you make in high def.
The whole world is gonna be watching.
I'm a decent poker player.
And you're gonna be
an even better lawyer.
- You got this.
- Yeah, I got this.

- [CHUCKLES] Yes.
[LOUD EXHALE]
REPORTER: Ms. Callow, Camila,
do you have any comments?
Ms. Callow will not be making
any public statements
until the completion of the trial.
Would she like to say
anything to the people
who fell ill using her product?
We're confident our client will
be exonerated of any wrongdoing.
Now please, no further
comments, thank you.
- C'mon
- Don't forget to tag her.
Nectar Studio.
LOLA: Before we go on the record,
I would like to say
it's lovely to have you
in my courtroom today, Ms. Johnson.
I'm glad you made a full recovery.
Thank you, Your Honor.
LOLA: As a reminder,
although I have elected
to close the courtroom to parties
not directly involved with the case,
Bravo has approved live cameras,
so you will be recorded at all times.
Back on the record.
People v. Camila Callow,
the defense has filed
a 9-9-5 motion.
As such, I will allow
the moving party to proceed.
NESS: Thank you, Your Honor.
The defense is moving
to dismiss both counts
in the information
penal code section 3-47
distribution of poison
foods and medicines
and penal codes section 1-87 murder.
On what grounds?
Let's go ahead and let the
defense finish their argument.
- Well
- [SHERRI CLEARS HER THROAT]
Ms. Callow does not run the day-to-day
operations of her business.
She doesn't even handle the product.
Nectar employs an ethical
drop ship business model.
State law stipulates that
the importers considered
the manufacturer and has
a duty of reasonable care.
Eh, the keywords there are
"her business".
The defendant flagrantly
disobeyed a court order
and her negligent mismanagement
led to someone's death.
The issue here is that,
Ms. Callow failed
to cease the sale
of those harmful products,
after being ordered by a court to do so.
It will be up to a jury to decide
whether that amounts to implied malice.
The defense's motion
to dismiss is denied.
Hey uh, Helen, have you seen Luke?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC BUILDS]
Okay.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
Ms. Sawskin, do you remember
when you started using Nectar product?
Around two years ago.
I was a big fan of Camila as an actress,
then began purchasing her
self-help books and yoga videos.
And you were also
an employee of Camila's,
- correct?
- SAWSKIN: Yes.
MAGGIE: Were you employed with Nectar
when the original court order,
to cease and desist
- was issued?
- I was.
What was the company's response?
Nothing. Camila told us
not to worry about it.
Different labeling maybe, but we
never stopped selling anything.
This was around the time
- that you got sick, right?
- SAWSKIN: Yes.
MAGGIE: Wha what were
you diagnosed with?
SAWSKIN: Marburg virus.
I was so sick, I couldn't move.
I started hallucinating,
and vomiting blood.
The doctor said I'm lucky to be alive.
NESS: Objection. Hearsay
and lack of foundation.
Ms. Sawskin's physician
isn't present in this courtroom.
- Sustained.
- MAGGIE: That's no problem.
No more questions.
Ms. Sawskin, I only have
a few questions for you.
I was actually going
through your medical records,
and criminal records, and I noticed
that you have been convicted
of fraud not once but twice.
Yes, but it was a while ago
NESS: No, I wasn't asking
about the time frame.
Were one of those convictions related
to healthcare insurance fraud?
I couldn't afford my medical bills.
Mm. No further questions.
♪
All those files you asked for.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- How's it going?
- It's going.
What are you working on?
Just reading through
the transcript statements
- for the Sannor case.
- With the triplets?
- It's a mess.
- Nice.
Do, ah do you wanna get
some dinner tonight?
We've been meaning to try that
new Ethiopian spot in Frogtown.
Yeah, I can't, I mean, this
thing's gonna be an all-nighter.
- Got it.

you know, I'm kind of dragging,
I'm gonna go grab a coffee.
- You want anything?
- No. Thanks.
LUKE: Okay, see ya.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
I understand that,
but my hands are tied.
We're on a hiring freeze.
Look, I gotta run into a budget meeting.
I will call you after.
All right, thanks.
- How was court?
- I need you to sign these.
Can you leave them on my desk?
I'll sign them after
I need you to sign them now, Callan.
Okay.
Look, Maggie, we don't have to do this,
we can
[MARK SIGHS] I guess maybe we do.
[LOUD SIGH]
I want you to put me on the stand.
- NESS: Absolutely not.
- That's a terrible idea.
EMMANUEL: She deserves
a chance to speak her truth.
I can't just let an employee,
someone who I called a friend,
defame me like that without responding.
Okay, first of all, that's
not what defamation is.
Second, there are million things
that could go wrong
if you're just up on
the stand improvising.
I'm an actress, I'll be fine.
Oh, we do not need you up there acting.
No, you need me on the stand,
because people like me.
I can read that jury and there's nothing
that tells me you've won them over.
I'm paying you $500 an hour.
This isn't a request.
You're paying us a lot of money
because we know what we're doing.
Like I said, I'm not asking.
♪
No, mm-hmm.
Ms. Callow, did you
ever tell Ms. Sawskin
to ignore any injunctions
or to break the law?
CAMILA: Of course not.
I told her not to worry.
I said we'd figure things out.
AMY: And what was
the conversation you had
with your overseas manufacturer
after receiving the court order?
I was told that they
would abide by the orders.
They had concerns about profit margins,
but I made it clear, I'm no
longer living for success.
I'm living to be of value to others.
AMY: Mhm, did you ever personally
handle the goods that were sold?
CAMILA: No, never.
But, I did handle the criticism,
the threats, the heartache,
the scrutiny, the pain.
See, I think it's all about
how you treat people.
This entire experience has taught me
just how fragile life is.
And so, I'm learning
to handle it with care.

LUKE: Ness! Over here, come join me.
- Hi, hey.

No, I I'm good, thank you.

Yeah, I'm covering
the Camila Callow trial.
Yo, that is big time. Congrats.
You know, I've been waiting for this
opportunity for a very long time.
And now that it's here,
just kinda feel little
- off.
- I get it.
I had a really hard time reconciling
defending people
who had done bad things.
But somewhere along the way,
I found that everyone has good in them.
Sometimes, you just gotta search
a little harder to find it.
Mm, look at you, sounding like Oprah.

INTERVIEWER: It's been
a pleasure shadowing you.
But, I feel obligated to ask you
some of the tough questions.
I would expect nothing less.
Your tenure hasn't been an easy one.
It's been marred by scandal,
impropriety, and even tragedy.
You have an explanation for that?
There have certainly been
some challenging moments
These things happened in you courtroom.
That would give you some degree
of responsibility, no?
Actually, they didn't happen
in my courtroom.
But, my main priority
has always been to ensure

I I I'm just a a big fan.
I just wanted to say that. Sorry.
You said you never handled
your company's merchandise,
- correct?
- Huh, yes, that's correct.
And I believe your exact words were,
"I'm no longer living for success,
I'm living to be of value to others".
- Did I hear that right?
- Yes, you did.
You also said "This entire experience
taught me just how fragile life is,
so I'm learning to handle it with care".
Did I remember that correctly?
Yeah, I think that's what I said.
Great. I wanna ask you
a couple questions
- about your acting career.
- Objection. Relevance.
Can I finish my question?
Yes, you may, Mr. Biswas.
Ms. Callow, do you remember
playing a psychiatrist
in the movie On Death and Dying?
- Sure.
- TEDDY: One of your character's
lines was, and I quote,
"Kelly's death taught me
just how fragile life is,
so I'm learning to handle it with care".
Aren't those the exact words
you just said on the stand?
- I guess so.
- Interesting.
Did you play the part of a lab assistant
in the film Relativity?
I did.
Do you remember that one scene
where your character quits and says
"I'm no longer living for success,
I'm living to be of value to others".
Yeah, something like that.
So, are you on the stand, under oath

We met at Sundance five, six years ago.
Hit it off, and we've been
best friends ever since.
And in that time, have
you seen Ms. Callow
engage in anything unlawful?
Not even close.
She's the kindest,
most selfless soul I've ever met.
I've been following her around,
filming her,
because I want the rest of the world

our film is debuting
at Sundance next year.

it's a system rooted in racism.

just because they're
rich enough to pay bail.

who haven't been convicted of a crime,
because they can't afford bail.

to dismiss both counts
in the information
penal code section 3-47
distribution of poison
foods and medicines

On what grounds?
Let's go ahead and let the
defense finish their argument.
- Well
- [SHERRI CLEARS HER THROAT]
Ms. Callow does not run the day-to-day
operations of her business.
She doesn't even handle the product.
Nectar employs an ethical
drop ship business model.
State law stipulates that
the importers considered
the manufacturer and has
a duty of reasonable care.
Eh, the keywords there are
"her business".
The defendant flagrantly
disobeyed a court order
and her negligent mismanagement
led to someone's death.
The issue here is that,
Ms. Callow failed
to cease the sale
of those harmful products,
after being ordered by a court to do so.
It will be up to a jury to decide
whether that amounts to implied malice.
The defense's motion
to dismiss is denied.
