[00:44]	Your car is… 17 minutes away.
[00:59]	Guess what I did today.
[01:02]	I played hooky.
[01:05]	Had my teaching assistant cover my two classes.
[01:08]	And I went to a pub, sat by myself
[01:10]	and read something that I did not have to read.
[01:17]	What the hell are you doing over there?
[01:26]	Where are you going?
[01:28]	Not going anywhere.
[01:30]	I just thought this thing takes up so much room in the closet.
[01:34]	Might make more sense keeping it…
[01:36]	under the bed, but… doesn’t fit.
[01:39]	Really?
[01:47]	Not going anywhere?
[01:51]	Who do you think you’re messing with…
[01:54]	Haven’t we…
[01:55]	already been through this?
[01:57]	I wasn’t… I needed to get away for a bit
[02:00]	just to… to write and to think.
[02:02]	That’s a bunch of crap, Kate.
[02:04]	That is a bunch of crap!
[02:08]	We both know that you don’t write.
[02:10]	Okay, buying garbage on the Internet
[02:12]	that you don’t need is not writing.
[02:15]	Reading articles that other people wrote is not writing.
[02:20]	I’m sorry.
[02:22]	I should have… I should have told you,
[02:24]	not surprised you.
[02:27]	I just… I knew you’d be upset.
[02:32]	You have any idea
[02:34]	how stupid that accent makes you sound?
[02:38]	Say it again.
[02:43]	Say “I’m sorry,” and say it without the accent.
[02:48]	I’m… sorry.
[02:51]	I’m so s-sorry.
[02:55]	Okay.
[02:57]	You can do it.
[03:00]	Let’s see what else you can do.
[03:15]	No.
[03:18]	No, this is Kate Martin’s husband. Who’s this?
[03:21]	I’m sorry.
[03:24]	Yeah, she changed her mind.
[03:26]	Yeah, Kate Martin isn’t going anywhere today.
[03:36]	Katie, what are you doing?
[03:39]	Doesn’t matter where you go.
[03:43]	I’m gonna find you…
[03:46]	and I’ll bring you back here.
[03:51]	I did it before.
[03:54]	I’ll do it again.
[05:08]	Hey, where’s Benny?
[05:10]	Downstairs, I think.
[05:12]	All right.
[05:14]	And that’s…
[05:15]	that’s an amazing gift.
[05:16]	Well, she’s an amazing girl.
[05:18]	Benny?
[05:19]	Your sister called me three times last night.
[05:21]	Hung up before I could answer.
[05:23]	Something I should know about?
[05:25]	You got me, but if she called you, you should call her.
[05:28]	I did. I left a couple of voicemails; She never returned.
[05:32]	Can’t be an alimony thing.
[05:34]	I mean, it’s not an alimony thing, right?
[05:36]	I have no idea, but you know Izzy.
[05:38]	She’s not shy.
[05:40]	If she has something important to tell you…
[05:42]	Point taken. Yeah..
[05:51]	Good morning to you, too.
[05:52]	Sorry. I just have a bad feeling about something.
[05:55]	Well, I want to warn you.
[05:56]	I-I just put Dr. Grint in your office.
[05:58]	Dr. Grint from the Survivors’ Justice Project?
[06:00]	Is she looking for money?
[06:01]	– I have no idea. – ‘Cause now is not the time.
[06:03]	Izzy’s been calling me, and I… I just have a sense
[06:06]	something’s up, and it’s gonna cost me.
[06:07]	All I know is she said it was important.
[06:10]	Okay.
[06:14]	Dr. Grint. Marian.
[06:16]	For the millionth time… Marian.
[06:19]	What can I do for you… Marian?
[06:22]	Dr. Bull, you once told me if I ever needed a favor…
[06:25]	I’ve been seeing her on and off for two years,
[06:26]	urging her to get out.
[06:28]	– And of course she didn’t. – Of course she didn’t.
[06:30]	Now she’s being charged with murder.
[06:32]	Well, that’s what happens when you kill someone.
[06:34]	She’s been appointed a public defender.
[06:36]	Sounds about right.
[06:37]	And I was hoping you might whisper in his ear
[06:40]	about juries and who to look for
[06:42]	and all that good stuff that
[06:43]	you’re so wonderful at.
[06:44]	Happy to do it, but the truth is,
[06:46]	I’m sure whoever they’ve given your client is more
[06:48]	than up to the task, and I don’t need to tell you,
[06:50]	the courts see a lot of these kinds of cases.
[06:53]	And there’s nothing unusual or exotic about it.
[06:56]	She shot him in the back.
[06:59]	Okay. That makes it a touch more complicated,
[07:01]	but presumably, it was self-defense, so…
[07:04]	While he was fast asleep.
[07:08]	That’s a tough one.
[07:14]	What have we here?
[07:16]	Dr. Jason Bull, this is Mark Burns.
[07:18]	Mark has been appointed Kate’s public defender.
[07:21]	Mark, Dr. Jason Bull.
[07:23]	I’m, just here to help. It’s your show.
[07:26]	Well, it’s pretty cut and dried. It’s not rocket science.
[07:28]	It’s one of those stories I can pretty much
[07:30]	tell you the ending of right now, but I’m happy
[07:32]	to listen to anything you have to say.
[07:33]	Is she with us?
[07:35]	That’s the enemy.
[07:38]	That’s A.D.A. Amy Lake. She’s a tough one.
[07:40]	But I’ve been talking to her,
[07:41]	seeing if we can’t find some common ground.
[07:43]	What’s she doing here?
[07:45]	Same thing I’m doing, waiting for the judge.
[07:47]	The girl’s banged up pretty good.
[07:48]	She’s got a couple of broken ribs and a punctured lung.
[07:50]	They’re still doing some tests, but…
[07:52]	they want to do the arraignment here in the hospital.
[07:57]	You think I can have a few minutes with her?
[07:59]	The accused, I mean?
[08:01]	Of course.
[08:11]	Sorry.
[08:12]	I should have warned you.
[08:16]	They do look somewhat alike, don’t they?
[08:20]	She and her husband
[08:21]	have been married almost four years.
[08:23]	He taught writing at Hudson.
[08:25]	Apparently, he’s one of their most popular teachers.
[08:29]	It didn’t help that he was smart.
[08:31]	He only hit her in places that clothing covered…
[08:35]	until now.
[08:37]	And she was the kind of wife… never went to the police.
[08:42]	She went to the emergency room once last year.
[08:46]	Paid cash, gave a false name.
[08:48]	Still.
[08:51]	He was sleeping.
[08:52]	It’s really gonna be a tough sell.
[08:57]	Why now?
[09:00]	You her family?
[09:02]	If she wakes up, tell her we just got the test back.
[09:05]	The baby’s fine.
[09:13]	Aren’t we being a little dramatic?
[09:16]	You got something against hospital cafeterias?
[09:18]	They serve coffee. They have… walls.
[09:23]	Did you know she was pregnant?
[09:25]	Nine weeks.
[09:26]	Doesn’t change anything.
[09:28]	She shot him in the back while he lay sleeping.
[09:30]	That’s all the jury’s gonna hear.
[09:32]	You ever heard of “battered woman syndrome”?
[09:34]	They have a syndrome now?
[09:36]	My older sister was married to a gym teacher.
[09:39]	Ran the youth ministry at church.
[09:42]	Chaired the big school carnival
[09:43]	to raise money for cancer research.
[09:46]	And when they’d fight…
[09:47]	which apparently was more than anybody realized…
[09:50]	he’d get her on the ground and… kick her.
[09:54]	He weighed 215.
[09:55]	She weighed 122.
[09:57]	And one day, he kicked her too hard.
[10:01]	Ruptured her spleen.
[10:04]	And six hours later, she was gone.
[10:07]	I’m sorry.
[10:08]	But I know that you know that has nothing to do with this.
[10:11]	I’m telling you, I have this handled.
[10:13]	I’ve been huddling with the A.D.A.
[10:15]	They’re gonna try her for first-degree murder…
[10:16]	Is that your applause line?
[10:18]	Reducible to second degree manslaughter, which means
[10:21]	that all we have to do is create some kind of doubt,
[10:24]	and then we’ve got a 90% chance that the jury’s gonna convict
[10:26]	on the lesser plea, and she’s looking
[10:28]	at seven to eight years instead of life.
[10:29]	You’ve given up on her already.
[10:31]	Her being found innocent isn’t even on your menu.
[10:34]	She isn’t innocent. She shot him in the back
[10:36]	while he was sleeping.
[10:38]	Have you spoken with her?
[10:39]	Have you conferred with your client?
[10:40]	No. She’s been sedated, but what is it
[10:42]	that you think she would say?
[10:44]	You’re fired.
[10:46]	Excuse me?
[10:48]	Okay. Two things.
[10:50]	I didn’t ask for this job,
[10:51]	You’re not the one who hired me.
[10:53]	Trust me. By the time you get downstairs,
[10:56]	I’ll make sure you’re fired,
[10:58]	unless you go to the judge and you demand
[11:00]	that she be tried on first- degree murder charges,
[11:03]	only first-degree.
[11:06]	It’s all or nothing.
[11:08]	You’re out of your mind.
[11:09]	And you’re out of your depth.
[11:12]	And you’re fired.
[11:14]	Fine by me.
[11:17]	I’m sure it is.
[11:24]	Benjamin Colón.
[11:26]	It’s time to go to work.
[11:41]	This happy couple is Kate and Brian Martin.
[11:44]	He was a writing professor at Hudson College.
[11:46]	She had her master’s and was working on her first novel.
[11:49]	In addition to being a serial adulterer,
[11:51]	Kate claims he physically and psychologically abused her
[11:55]	for at least the past three years.
[11:57]	Last week, while eight weeks pregnant
[11:59]	with their first child, she shot him in the back while he slept.
[12:05]	Then she went to sleep while he bled out next to her.
[12:08]	God.
[12:09]	Sounds horrible.
[12:10]	– I gather she’s our client? – Yes, she is.
[12:13]	And it is horrible.
[12:14]	It’s also daunting from a legal perspective.
[12:17]	I mean, how do you prove that shooting someone
[12:19]	while they slept is, in fact, self-defense?
[12:22]	Between you and me, I don’t think you can.
[12:24]	Your opinion notwithstanding, Bull believes she’s innocent.
[12:28]	In fact, he believes it so strongly
[12:30]	that he and I argued in front of a judge yesterday
[12:32]	that the only charge that the jury should consider
[12:36]	is first-degree murder.
[12:37]	No lesser charges,
[12:39]	no manslaughter, no assault with a deadly weapon…
[12:42]	it’s all or nothing.
[12:44]	Life in prison or no jail time at all.
[12:47]	Right now there is precious little evidence to offer
[12:49]	with regard to Brian’s propensity for violence.
[12:52]	Kate didn’t talk about it with anyone.
[12:54]	So I need the two of you to drill down
[12:57]	on Brian’s romantic life
[12:59]	and find some other victims…
[13:00]	victims willing to testify on Kate’s behalf.
[13:03]	Finding exes online? That’s my area.
[13:06]	Can I ask a highly inappropriate question?
[13:09]	How much of this has to do with Bull’s sister?
[13:13]	How did you know about Bull’s sister?
[13:15]	I came here from the FBI.
[13:17]	I wasn’t about to change jobs
[13:19]	without knowing everything I could about my employer.
[13:21]	Wait a minute.
[13:23]	What do you guys know that I don’t know?
[13:25]	I got to go. I’m meeting Bull.
[13:29]	And I have a jury pool list
[13:31]	I need to pick up from the county clerk.
[13:35]	Danny?
[13:37]	You have a keyboard. Use it.
[13:39]	Professor Jameson.
[13:42]	Professor Jameson.
[13:45]	You failed me.
[13:47]	I did nothing of the kind, Mr. Palmer.
[13:48]	You failed yourself. All I did was record
[13:51]	and aggregate an average of your grades in my class.
[13:53]	Grades that you gave me.
[13:55]	Grades that I’m convinced reflect your biases
[13:56]	far more than they reflect my work.
[13:58]	You’re entitled to your opinion, Mr. Palmer.
[14:00]	It’s not my opinion.
[14:01]	I got A’s in my other two courses.
[14:04]	Well, I can’t speak to your work in other courses,
[14:06]	but in mine, your work was deficient,
[14:08]	and your grade reflects that.
[14:09]	And by the way, I don’t take kindly
[14:11]	to being shanghaied in the hallway.
[14:13]	Well, I tried for a week to get an appointment with your office,
[14:15]	but no one returned my calls.
[14:16]	I can’t imagine why.
[14:18]	Is it just that I work for a trial scientist?
[14:21]	Or is there more?
[14:23]	What does it matter?
[14:24]	I’ll almost certainly never see you again,
[14:26]	and you’ll almost certainly never see me.
[14:27]	I prefer to focus on the positive.
[14:30]	I prefer to focus on that.
[14:33]	Good day, Mr. Palmer.
[14:37]	She told me she left once before.
[14:39]	Headed down to Florida.
[14:40]	Within a week, he found her, begged her to return,
[14:43]	said that it would be different, that he had changed.
[14:45]	Apparently, on their whole car trip back to New York,
[14:48]	he was wonderful… funny, charming, loving.
[14:51]	And then as soon as they got back
[14:53]	in the apartment, he broke her collarbone.
[14:55]	Boy, I’d love to get somebody to testify to that…
[14:57]	a doctor or insurance adjustor…
[14:59]	They don’t exist.
[15:01]	He covered his tracks very well.
[15:03]	And because she loved him, she helped.
[15:06]	And having fled once, she realized…
[15:09]	running wouldn’t solve anything.
[15:11]	That no matter where she went,
[15:13]	he’d find her and keep hurting her,
[15:16]	and, by extension, hurt the baby.
[15:18]	So…
[15:20]	no witnesses, no hospital records.
[15:22]	How do we get the jury to understand
[15:24]	what her life was like?
[15:25]	For that matter, what kind of jurors are we looking for?
[15:28]	It’s actually easier for me to tell you
[15:29]	who we’re not looking for.
[15:31]	We’re not looking for people who are rigid and rule-bound.
[15:34]	They’re just gonna follow the law
[15:35]	and send our lady to prison for life.
[15:37]	Forgive me, but how do you find something like that out?
[15:40]	How do you see if a person is rigid or rule-bound?
[15:43]	It’s all about the questions.
[15:45]	It’s Christmas morning, and your kids are opening up presents.
[15:48]	Lots of toys to put together.
[15:50]	Anybody here actually look at the instructions?
[15:55]	Your Honor, we’d like to thank and excuse this juror.
[15:58]	Once we weed out the rule-bound,
[16:00]	we need to identify folks with strong survival instincts,
[16:04]	people who listen to their intuition
[16:05]	when it comes to dangerous situations
[16:08]	and act on it without fear of the consequences.
[16:11]	You’re on the street, and you see an older man
[16:13]	with a child who seems frightened and is pulling away.
[16:16]	What do you do?
[16:17]	What do you mean?
[16:18]	How do you know it’s not the kid’s father?
[16:20]	Maybe the kid’s being difficult?
[16:22]	I’m not sure there’s anything to do.
[16:24]	Your Honor, we move to strike this juror.
[16:26]	We’re looking for people who,
[16:28]	when confronted with a potentially dangerous situation,
[16:31]	don’t hesitate, don’t ask if it’s the right move…
[16:34]	they just act, like Kate did.
[16:37]	And you, sir, what do you do?
[16:38]	If I’m reading it as a dangerous situation,
[16:40]	maybe I pretend to be the kid’s dad.
[16:42]	Get him away from the guy so I can find the real parents.
[16:45]	This juror’s acceptable to the defense, Your Honor.
[16:54]	Nice to see you again, Kate.
[16:56]	You’re looking better.
[16:57]	I’m guessing they’re weaning you off the sedatives?
[17:00]	I was never on a lot to begin with
[17:02]	because of the baby.
[17:05]	Kate, remember…
[17:08]	you did what you had to do.
[17:12]	You can’t let go of that.
[17:22]	A.D.A. Lake.
[17:24]	Dr. Bull.
[17:26]	I have been staring at you from across the courtroom,
[17:29]	and last night I finally got the chance
[17:32]	to do a little homework and find out something about you.
[17:34]	A.D.A. Lake,
[17:36]	you’ve been assigned to the Domestic Violence unit
[17:38]	for the past 15 years.
[17:40]	You’ve made a career out of putting abusers away,
[17:43]	protecting people like my client.
[17:46]	What’s wrong with this picture?
[17:47]	Nothing’s wrong with this picture, Dr. Bull.
[17:51]	Sometimes it’s harder than you might think
[17:53]	to tell the abused from the abuser.
[18:03]	Sometimes it’s harder than you might think.
[18:17]	My God.
[18:18]	His whole family is here.
[18:20]	Maybe I made a mistake.
[18:21]	Maybe I should have let you call my family.
[18:25]	It’s okay.
[18:26]	We’ll make some calls after court.
[18:32]	It’s been said
[18:34]	that every marriage is its own secret society,
[18:37]	with its own rules and customs and understandings.
[18:40]	Was abuse part of the Martin marriage?
[18:43]	Yes, it was…
[18:45]	on both sides.
[18:47]	That’s not what happened at all.
[18:49]	Were there infidelities?
[18:51]	Yes, as we will prove, on both sides.
[18:55]	That woman certainly can spin a yarn, can’t she?
[18:58]	Officer Levy,
[19:00]	can you please tell us about your visit
[19:02]	to the Martins’ home some two years ago
[19:05]	on April 8, 2016?
[19:06]	A noise complaint was called into the station.
[19:09]	I responded.
[19:10]	And what did you find?
[19:11]	I arrived on scene, where the defendant and her husband
[19:14]	had clearly been fighting.
[19:16]	Broken pictures, knickknacks on the floor,
[19:18]	laptop computer looked like it’d been thrown against the wall.
[19:21]	They had apparently calmed down prior to my arrival.
[19:24]	And both assured me everything was okay.
[19:27]	While I didn’t see any evidence of physical abuse,
[19:30]	I followed protocol, separated the defendant and her husband,
[19:33]	urged Mrs. Martin to speak candidly to me.
[19:36]	It’s a tiny apartment… Brian could hear everything.
[19:39]	And what did she say?
[19:41]	She appeared calm.
[19:42]	Said it was a misunderstanding.
[19:44]	And what happened the next day?
[19:46]	Mr. Martin reached out to me at the station.
[19:49]	He was interested in filing a restraining order
[19:51]	against Mrs. Martin.
[19:56]	I thought it couldn’t get any worse,
[19:57]	but it actually has.
[20:00]	What restraining order is he talking about?
[20:03]	I-I have no idea.
[20:04]	Danny here.
[20:05]	Look, no restraining order was ever actually issued.
[20:08]	And no official report was filed with the station house.
[20:11]	So are you saying
[20:13]	that the victim was afraid of his wife,
[20:15]	that he felt the need to protect himself?
[20:17]	Objection, Your Honor.
[20:18]	There is no restraining order,
[20:21]	not that we’ve been able to determine,
[20:22]	and not that the prosecution offered in discovery.
[20:26]	Can I answer?
[20:27]	Go ahead.
[20:29]	I never said Mr. Martin actually filed the order.
[20:32]	I only said that he inquired about the process.
[20:34]	I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear about that.
[20:36]	Bearer of bad news here.
[20:38]	The jurors find Officer Levy credible,
[20:39]	and they’re buying into the idea
[20:41]	that Brian could have been afraid of Kate.
[20:43]	It’s all feeding into the prosecution’s story.
[20:46]	Officer Levy,
[20:48]	isn’t it true that sometimes people seek out
[20:50]	restraining orders for duplicitous reasons?
[20:54]	People can and do abuse the system, sure.
[20:57]	And isn’t it true that sometimes abusive partners
[21:00]	will go through the motions of taking out a restraining order
[21:04]	against their victims to… create a false narrative
[21:08]	or to neutralize a situation
[21:10]	should they ever be taken to court?
[21:11]	Objection.
[21:12]	That is not a question.
[21:14]	Jury heard it, though.
[21:16]	Ask a question, Mr. Colón.
[21:18]	Are restraining orders ever sought as a preemptive defense?
[21:22]	So, in case the abuser
[21:25]	ever got caught, they could point
[21:26]	to the order and say that they were defending themselves.
[21:29]	Sure.
[21:31]	I’ve heard of that happening.
[21:33]	Not a lot, but…
[21:35]	But you are aware of it, aren’t you?
[21:38]	I am.
[21:39]	Thank you, Officer Levy.
[21:41]	No further questions.
[21:45]	Good job, Benny.
[21:46]	We finally picked up a juror.
[21:48]	One down, 11 to go.
[21:55]	A girl’s first day in court… a memory I’ll always cherish.
[22:00]	And by the way, I was never unfaithful
[22:02]	to my husband, and I never struck him.
[22:07]	It’s easy to get discouraged.
[22:09]	Just remember, nobody’s heard our side yet.
[22:13]	Okay?
[22:23]	So, you and Izzy connect yet?
[22:26]	Nope. I left her three messages.
[22:30]	I guess whatever the reason for her call was,
[22:33]	she decided it wasn’t so important after all.
[22:36]	Well, no matter what, I’m your guy.
[22:40]	Okay.
[22:42]	I don’t remember asking for a loyalty oath,
[22:44]	but I appreciate the gesture.
[22:47]	You know…
[22:49]	I’ve never felt less prepared to do my job
[22:52]	than I did today.
[22:53]	We know precious little about this woman.
[22:56]	Now wait a second.
[22:57]	Dr. Grint… Marian…
[22:59]	from the Survivors’ Justice Project, she…
[23:01]	Marian is not a lawyer. She’s not a detective.
[23:03]	She is a doctor of social work.
[23:07]	She knows what Kate tells her.
[23:10]	I know you trust her.
[23:11]	I know she did everything she could to help your sister.
[23:15]	I don’t know.
[23:17]	Two and a half years and all these supposed beatings,
[23:20]	not a-a single doctor to testify for us?
[23:23]	Not a single hospital bill? Not a single friend?
[23:26]	Everybody’s working. Everybody’s trying.
[23:28]	I know. I know.
[23:30]	Like I said, I’m your guy.
[23:34]	But I need you to know
[23:36]	that I don’t have a lot to work with.
[23:39]	And I just don’t want to let you down.
[23:53]	I just went through the witness statement
[23:54]	for Alyssa Bell, Brian’s current teaching assistant
[23:57]	and the woman he was having an affair with when Kate shot him.
[23:59]	According to her, he wasn’t violent,
[24:02]	he never struck her, barely even raised his voice.
[24:05]	Not to pile on,
[24:06]	but I’ve gone through all of his social media
[24:08]	and even hacked his e-mail.
[24:09]	The guy was clearly a dog.
[24:11]	I mean, every semester, he would get a new T.A.,
[24:13]	and by “get,” I’m pretty sure you guys know what I mean.
[24:17]	But I guess I’d be lying if I said there was even a hint
[24:20]	that anyone was afraid of him
[24:22]	or concerned for their physical safety.
[24:24]	I was able to get a set of medical files
[24:27]	from the walk-in clinic that she told us she went to
[24:29]	in the fall for her collarbone injury.
[24:31]	The problem is, is the patient name she used
[24:34]	when she checked in is Jane Doe,
[24:36]	and the doctor who attended to her no longer works there.
[24:41]	Any other discouraging news on the investigative front?
[24:48]	Excellent.
[24:50]	We need to talk strategy for tomorrow.
[24:51]	The A.D.A. is gonna call Brian’s sister to the stand.
[24:54]	– Surprise, surprise. – We need to get ahead of it.
[24:57]	Counteract what we know is gonna be emotional testimony
[25:00]	without making it look like we are attacking a woman
[25:02]	who just lost her brother.
[25:04]	You think she knew about Brian’s abuse?
[25:07]	Judging from the way she and everyone else in her family
[25:09]	are glaring at Kate…
[25:11]	I don’t think she had a clue.
[25:13]	Can’t we use that in our favor?
[25:15]	How do you mean?
[25:16]	She’s just like the jurors.
[25:18]	In her mind, there’s no abuse.
[25:20]	There’s no possible justification for what Kate did.
[25:23]	But if we can educate her,
[25:25]	show her while she’s on the stand
[25:28]	what she didn’t know about her brother,
[25:29]	make her see the truth,
[25:31]	the jurors are gonna see it, too.
[25:34]	That’s a nice plan, Chunk.
[25:35]	Unfortunately, we have no evidence
[25:37]	to support any of Kate’s assertions.
[25:40]	Can’t just say things to the woman
[25:42]	without being able to back them up.
[25:45]	Well, I’ll get to work on this list of exes.
[25:47]	Yeah, I’ll keep hacking away.
[25:49]	Maybe one of the T.A.s texted a friend
[25:51]	or their mother… something we can use.
[26:07]	You gonna be okay?
[26:09]	No.
[26:13]	They’re all correct, you know.
[26:17]	I’ve done a stupid thing.
[26:20]	Relied on a faulty piece of calculus.
[26:23]	Helping this woman will not change the fact
[26:25]	that I did nothing to help my own sister.
[26:30]	It’s true. You failed at being God.
[26:33]	You are responsible for everyone and everything.
[26:35]	Just indulge me.
[26:36]	Let me wallow in my own self pity.
[26:39]	You know what, Jason?
[26:40]	Your sister was an adult.
[26:42]	She made her own decisions,
[26:44]	her own choices about who to be with.
[26:46]	And nothing you could have done would have changed that.
[26:49]	You loved her.
[26:52]	And that is really your only obligation
[26:54]	as a brother.
[26:56]	As for our client, you can only do what you can do.
[26:59]	She’s giving you very little to work with.
[27:03]	Get some sleep.
[27:05]	Tomorrow is gonna come
[27:07]	whether we’re ready for it or not.
[27:11]	And as a brilliant trial scientist
[27:14]	once said to me, if anyone tells you they know
[27:18]	how a criminal proceeding is gonna end,
[27:20]	they’ve never been to more than one.
[27:23]	See you in the morning.
[27:30]	My brother had a really good heart.
[27:32]	He loved his wife.
[27:34]	He always spoke so highly of her.
[27:36]	It was like he was constantly selling her to us.
[27:39]	I was like, “We already bought her.”
[27:41]	We love her.”
[27:43]	I just…
[27:48]	I don’t understand.
[27:52]	Objection, Your Honor.
[27:54]	Relevance?
[27:55]	Take your seat, Mr. Colón.
[27:58]	You may continue.
[28:00]	What do you mean?
[28:01]	What don’t you understand?
[28:02]	All of it.
[28:03]	How you can say you love a man and then kill him.
[28:07]	Can’t say you love him
[28:09]	knowing you watched him bleed out on your bed.
[28:13]	Now, Kate and Brian
[28:16]	were married almost four years.
[28:18]	In all that time,
[28:19]	how often would you say you visited their apartment?
[28:23]	Actually, I’ve never been to their apartment.
[28:26]	Really?
[28:27]	I find that surprising. He was your brother.
[28:31]	Well, they lived in Brooklyn.
[28:33]	It’s hard to get to from where we are.
[28:35]	But they invited you, right?
[28:37]	Tried to get you over?
[28:39]	Actually, I’m not sure that they did.
[28:41]	I mean, he was always talking about
[28:43]	how small the apartment was,
[28:45]	and-and I’m not sure that they felt comfortable
[28:48]	entertaining there.
[28:49]	We had a house.
[28:50]	But they visited you. Am I correct?
[28:53]	All the time.
[28:55]	Brian loves…
[28:57]	loved my daughters, his nieces.
[29:00]	He and Kate would play with them for hours.
[29:03]	I always thought when the time was right,
[29:05]	they would have a beautiful family of their own.
[29:08]	She really had no idea.
[29:09]	No.
[29:11]	What about vacations? Did you all vacation together?
[29:14]	We’d try, but Brian’s schedule was so unpredictable.
[29:17]	Something was always coming up.
[29:19]	What about the Hawaii vacation last summer?
[29:24]	They had to cancel. Um, something at the university.
[29:27]	What if I told you Brian canceled
[29:30]	because he didn’t want anyone seeing Kate in a bathing suit
[29:33]	with all her various bruises and injuries on display?
[29:36]	Objection. No foundation.
[29:38]	Your Honor, I have a good faith basis
[29:40]	for asking the question.
[29:44]	Answer the question, please.
[29:46]	Well, that’s just not true.
[29:48]	I-I don’t, I don’t understand what you’re saying.
[29:51]	He-he had a meeting come up, a lecture, something.
[29:54]	What about the hiking trip last fall?
[29:58]	What if I told you that Brian fractured Kate’s clavicle
[30:01]	just two days before the trip?
[30:03]	Objection. Facts not in evidence.
[30:05]	Your Honor, I’d like to submit
[30:07]	the following Chelsea West Walk-In Clinic records
[30:12]	under the name Jane Doe,
[30:13]	which our client was just able to provide us with this morning.
[30:17]	I’ve got medical records, X-rays.
[30:20]	May I please show the witness?
[30:22]	I’ll allow it, subject to future verification.
[30:32]	Well, that’s fine. I…
[30:34]	But I don’t know what I’m looking at here.
[30:36]	It’s what your brother did to his wife.
[30:38]	Objection. No one has authenticated those images.
[30:41]	My apologies, Your Honor. I’m getting ahead of myself.
[30:44]	Now, let’s just talk about… the long sleeves in the summer.
[30:48]	The fact that you never met Kate’s family.
[30:50]	The fact that Kate never spoke
[30:52]	for herself when Brian was there…
[30:55]	and he was always there.
[30:56]	Perhaps ’cause he was afraid of what she might say.
[31:00]	What she’d tell you.
[31:02]	What she’d show you.
[31:04]	Objection, Your Honor.
[31:05]	They were a beautiful couple. He adored her.
[31:09]	Your Honor, those are not questions.
[31:11]	Counselor, ask the witness a question
[31:14]	and give her a chance to answer.
[31:16]	Actually, I have no further questions, Your Honor.
[31:19]	Wow, Bull. You and Benny just doubled our green jurors.
[31:22]	Meaning we have two jurors out of 12.
[31:25]	We’re like a runaway train.
[31:27]	So, in all your time together,
[31:29]	you never saw a propensity to violence?
[31:31]	He never lost his temper? Um, never made you feel afraid?
[31:37]	Okay. Well, um, I appreciate
[31:39]	you taking the time to speak with me.
[31:41]	Enjoy your new home. Enjoy Florida.
[31:44]	I found one more, and she’s local.
[31:47]	Hailee Sparks.
[31:49]	She dropped out of the grad program a couple years ago,
[31:51]	transferred to a different school.
[31:53]	Cross your fingers.
[31:55]	Maybe he scared her away.
[31:59]	We made some progress today.
[32:01]	I know. I felt it.
[32:03]	What’s our next move?
[32:07]	You’re our next move.
[32:11]	It’s time for us to tell our story,
[32:13]	and we have no one to tell it but you.
[32:15]	But isn’t that a risky thing to do?
[32:18]	I’ve always read that you try
[32:19]	to never put an accused murderer on the stand.
[32:22]	That’s true.
[32:23]	But we really have no choice.
[32:25]	My best guess is
[32:26]	we have two jurors on our side.
[32:28]	If no one in the jury room
[32:30]	is able to-to sway them during deliberations…
[32:34]	best case is you’re looking at a hung jury and a mistrial.
[32:37]	With ten jurors ready to convict,
[32:39]	the district attorney’s office is
[32:41]	definitely going to move to retry,
[32:43]	which means you spend a year in prison… pregnant…
[32:48]	having watched your baby
[32:49]	taken from you and put into foster care.
[32:55]	You testifying is the best chance we have
[32:57]	to change some minds.
[32:59]	I think we have to take it.
[33:11]	Did you know your husband Brian was having an affair?
[33:15]	I assumed he was having an affair.
[33:17]	I realized shortly after our first anniversary
[33:20]	that he was always having affairs.
[33:23]	Affairs were his oxygen.
[33:25]	I think they made him feel better
[33:28]	about just being the most popular professor,
[33:30]	instead of the acclaimed novelist,
[33:32]	which is really what he always wanted to be.
[33:34]	In her opening statement, the A.D.A. mentioned
[33:36]	that you were also having extramarital affairs.
[33:40]	Is that true?
[33:42]	Not only have I never cheated on my husband,
[33:45]	my husband is actually the only man I’ve ever been with.
[33:49]	I met him when I was 19, and I was instantly besotted.
[33:54]	I love that word.
[33:55]	Brian taught me that word.
[33:57]	So let me ask you the million-dollar question.
[34:00]	If you knew your husband was having an affair,
[34:03]	if he beat you, as you claim, why not leave?
[34:08]	Because I loved him.
[34:11]	And… maybe I…
[34:14]	I hated me a little bit.
[34:18]	And also, because he’d always sense when it was too much,
[34:21]	and he’d tell me he was sorry,
[34:23]	that he was putting a stop to it, and I believed him.
[34:27]	Our ten to two just
[34:28]	became nine to three.
[34:30]	But isn’t it true that you tried to leave once before?
[34:33]	Yes. I left once.
[34:36]	Why? What happened between you
[34:39]	that finally made you willing to leave?
[34:41]	He was drunk. He came home.
[34:45]	Told me I was boring.
[34:48]	He told me I was a boring person,
[34:51]	a boring woman,
[34:54]	and most of all…
[34:57]	a boring writer.
[34:59]	And that was the straw that broke the camel’s back?
[35:04]	No.
[35:06]	He, punched me in the vagina.
[35:09]	Objection.
[35:11]	Your Honor, this woman, this murderer
[35:12]	is telling stories about a dead man
[35:14]	that no one can corroborate.
[35:16]	Sit down, please.
[35:17]	You’ll have your chance to cross-examine.
[35:20]	Continue, Mr. Colón.
[35:24]	What happened?
[35:26]	Um… he… found me,
[35:28]	drove me home, promised to change.
[35:32]	Broke my collarbone.
[35:34]	Can you tell the jury
[35:36]	what compelled you to leave this last time?
[35:42]	A hundred things.
[35:44]	A million things.
[35:47]	And then I… I found out that I was eight weeks pregnant.
[35:53]	No further questions, Your Honor.
[35:55]	I’m staring at eight red and four green.
[36:00]	It’s not good enough.
[36:03]	I know you feel I sent you out there half-naked,
[36:05]	but for what it’s worth, you acquitted yourself beautifully.
[36:10]	She acquitted herself beautifully.
[36:11]	I only wish it were enough.
[36:13]	Yeah, I know what you mean.
[36:15]	If only there were one other person,
[36:17]	someone who would testify
[36:18]	that this guy was genuinely dangerous.
[36:20]	Actually, there is.
[36:23]	Two years ago, I T.A.’d his class.
[36:25]	Helped with lectures, small groups, that sort of thing.
[36:29]	He was charming, flirty… aggressively so.
[36:33]	I knew he was married, I knew it was wrong,
[36:37]	but I started sleeping with him anyway.
[36:40]	I told myself
[36:42]	I didn’t really have a choice.
[36:43]	He was on the faculty board in charge of my scholarship,
[36:46]	grading my thesis.
[36:48]	It was easier to just go along with it.
[36:52]	I wish I had been smarter, stronger.
[36:55]	Objection. Relevance?
[36:57]	Overruled. Continue, please.
[37:00]	Did you ever have occasion to meet with Mrs. Martin
[37:03]	during your relationship with her husband?
[37:05]	I did. Sort of.
[37:08]	There was this one night. It was winter.
[37:11]	I went back to the office late, which I never did.
[37:14]	I had left my laptop there.
[37:16]	Anyway, there’s an outer office
[37:18]	where I worked and an inner office where Brian worked.
[37:22]	And as I unlocked the front door, I could hear him in there.
[37:26]	And I could hear a woman’s voice, as well.
[37:28]	So, anyway, I didn’t flip on the light,
[37:31]	didn’t do anything.
[37:33]	Just stood there in the doorway.
[37:35]	They were yelling, fighting.
[37:39]	Brian had this tone. I had never heard it before.
[37:43]	It was… it was so vicious.
[37:46]	He was calling her names,
[37:48]	calling her “stupid,” calling her his “bitch wife.”
[37:53]	And then the woman was crying,
[37:55]	telling him she was going to go to the police.
[37:58]	And then he laughed, and then…
[38:01]	there was this sound.
[38:03]	I didn’t know if he punched her or if he kicked her,
[38:06]	but you could hear him make contact,
[38:09]	and you could hear her moan.
[38:11]	And then I heard him
[38:12]	tell her that if she ever went to the police, he’d kill her.
[38:15]	And what did you do?
[38:18]	God.
[38:20]	I did nothing.
[38:22]	I was just kind of frozen.
[38:24]	And then, like, a second later,
[38:26]	the inner door office opens, and it’s Brian,
[38:28]	and he sees me standing there,
[38:29]	and I must have just had this look on my face.
[38:32]	Why? What did he do?
[38:34]	He just blew by me, just disappeared,
[38:38]	through the door, down the hall, just left the building.
[38:41]	And what did you do?
[38:44]	Once I knew he was gone, I called out.
[38:48]	I didn’t leave the doorway, but I called out.
[38:52]	I asked if whoever was in there was all right,
[38:54]	and she said she was,
[38:57]	so I grabbed my laptop and I left.
[39:00]	Next morning, I withdrew from school.
[39:03]	Never saw Brian again.
[39:06]	And I’m so, so sorry.
[39:21]	What you feeling, boss?
[39:23]	Nine days.
[39:25]	We certainly know they thought about it, struggled with it.
[39:31]	That’s all we know.
[39:34]	Why did I plead with that judge
[39:35]	to disallow manslaughter or any other lesser charge?
[39:38]	What possessed me to go for all or nothing?
[39:41]	I should have left those jurors a door to walk through.
[39:46]	Okay.
[39:47]	But I think you need to pull yourself together, Bull.
[39:50]	That girl is depending on you.
[39:54]	I know.
[39:56]	I know you know.
[40:00]	Good afternoon, Dr. Bull, Mr. Colón,
[40:03]	Dr. Grint.
[40:07]	I’m sorry. I… I can’t stop shaking.
[40:11]	Here.
[40:15]	Hold on to me.
[40:21]	That’s better, isn’t it?
[40:24]	Now you just hang on and don’t let go, ’cause I’m here.
[40:28]	This thing’s gonna go one of two ways.
[40:32]	Either it’s all been one big bad dream
[40:34]	and you’re about to become a free woman,
[40:36]	in which case I’m gonna take you for a walk,
[40:39]	because walking is very good for pregnant women, you know.
[40:44]	My sister told me that.
[40:48]	Or…
[40:51]	if, for some reason, things don’t… go our way in there…
[40:58]	well, you’re not rid of me, ’cause…
[41:01]	we’re just gonna appeal the living daylights
[41:02]	out of this thing.
[41:04]	I mean, you are gonna be so sick of me.
[41:06]	Not possible.
[41:09]	You’ll see.
[41:11]	I’m very unusual.
[41:13]	I’m actually an acquired dislike.
[41:32]	We the jury find the defendant,
[41:35]	Kate Martin…
[41:38]	not guilty of murder in the first degree.
[41:47]	Thank you for your service.
[41:48]	This court is adjourned.
[42:09]	Good call on
[42:10]	the all-or-nothing strategy.
[42:12]	Hey, when you’ve been doing this as long as I have…
[42:18]	And you should reach out to your family.
[42:21]	You’re gonna need them, now more than ever.
[42:34]	It’s okay. Let him go.
