A.J. & Buddy

1
What's your name?
- Christy.
- A.J.
Didn't ask your name.
It's A.J.
You go to Santa Cruz?
Dropped out.
You're not in tech, right?
You don't like tech?
I work at a law firm
that deals with it all day.
I'm not in tech.
You want to get donuts?
I got work.
I'll go in for you.
Tell me what to wear.
Okay.
That black dress
is probably the cleanest.
Underwear in the top drawer.
You ever hang your clothes?
I put them on hangers,
and then I get bored.
Wow, are these all friends?
- Relatives.
- Seriously?
Yeah. I have a big family.
No one moves away.
It's like a disease.
Everyone needs to stay
within 20mi of each other
or they die.
That's yours.
- Yeah?
- The cops are here. It's a bust.
- Where are you?
- My my place.
They're right outside.
You need to take off.
Don't use the credit cards.
I think that's how they found me.
- What was that?
- I gotta go.
Okay. Nice knowing you.
Hey, Christy
can you give me a lift?
Come on.
I have another hour of sleep.
No, it's not that far.
Come on, I'll buy you donuts.
Okay. Where am I going?
2021 Embarcadero.
What's that, the airport?
What do you do, you work there?
Sometimes.
Come on. Get out, take a look.
So, what are you,
a baggage handler or something?
Something.
So you handle baggage
for rich people.
Morning, Mr. Cutter.
All fueled up and ready to go.
Beautiful day to fly.
Hey, who the hell are you?
Just another lost soul
trying to make sense
of this crazy world.
You ever been on one of these?
No, no.
More of a Spirit Air kind of girl.
Come on.
Hot towel.
Thank you.
So, what exactly is it you do
for a living, Mr. Cutter?
I sort of lied, Christy.
I founded WagerMode.
Do you know what that is?
So I hooked up with a tech bro?
- Technically, yes.
- Oh, dear god.
But I'm more of a gambler.
Pop-Tart?
Is there a bathroom on this thing?
Yo, what's happening?
They breached the office.
I'm in the bunker.
Do you have the laptop?
No. I left it
at your place last night.
- Damn it!
- Yeah.
I have to hang up,
I think they found the door.
All right, I'll get you a lawyer.
You too. They're coming for you next.
Okay, and I need
Hey, hey! We're moving.
Have you ever aisle-surfed before?
Wait. Okay.
Seriously, we are moving, bud.
Here, sit on it.
Wait for it. Wait for it!
Here! Your turn!
Come on, the plane
will be leveling off soon!
- Where are we going?
- St. Kitts.
Where is that?
The Caribbean. Seven hours.
You kidnapping me?
Yeah. Is that a problem?
You can take the jet right back
when I get there.
I did tell you I have work, right?
Yeah.
In fact, tell me about
the lawyers you work for.
- Hi. I live above you.
- Oh, yeah.
Would you mind not lighting incense?
The particles do a number
on my servers.
That That's from next door.
You worked at S-Talk?
I did.
Too bad about it going bankrupt.
Yeah.
Would you mind waiting until seven
to run these things?
Oh, my bad.
I I design video games.
I'm on deadline right now,
but I should be done by tomorrow.
Okay.
Christy, what's up?
Hey, Olivia.
Hold on. I'm merging you.
Okay, do I have you both?
Yeah. What's the problem?
I'm gonna be late into work today.
Okay, Christy,
you don't have to call.
I thought it was an emergency.
Well, it's a little bit
more complicated than that.
I'm on a jet to St. Kitts.
- Sorry, what?
- St. Kitts. In the Caribbean.
- Why are you on a jet to St. Kitts?
- I'm okay, thank you.
I met a guy last night, A.J. Cutter.
- I thought he was fine.
- I am fine.
But it's his jet,
and he needs to hire us.
He's about to get arrested
for running a betting site
- called WagerMode.
- It's not a betting site.
It's not a betting site.
It's a prediction market.
- Like PolyBetting?
- No.
In fact, they keep stealing
our ideas from us.
"Will Taylor Swift's
first birth be cesarean
or vaginal?" That was us first.
"Will there be
a 7.0 earthquake this month?"
- Yeah, that's us.
- "Will 25,000 Americans
get measles in '27?"
Yeah yeah, it's real-time wagering
on sports, current events
Why do you think
you're being arrested?
My partner just got arrested
and called me.
Do you have
a California gaming license?
No, because they won't let us.
PolyBetting is jealous.
Their stock took a hit
because we're cutting
into the prediction market.
And they're friends
with the president's sons.
- So you're fleeing?
- No
Wait, are you my lawyers?
Can I say anything to you?
Put Christy on.
Yeah?
He doesn't sound serious. Is he?
I think that's just his manner.
- His jet seems pretty serious.
- So he has money?
- A.J., do you have money?
- How much do they need?
A thousand dollars an hour
for the two of them.
Yeah, sure.
- Eighty thousand dollars upfront?
- Sure.
Actually, a hundred thousand?
- Fantastic.
- Yes.
Michael, if he gets arrested,
they might freeze his assets.
Right. Christy, put us on speaker.
You guys are all on.
A.J., in light of your circumstances
we're going to require
our fee up front.
Can you ACH it to us?
No?
But I do have a hundred G's
in a shoebox in my house.
Does that work?
You'll have to go get it.
- Where?
- 1212 Whitewell, Hillsborough.
It's on a shelf in the closet.
Top of the stairs.
Oh, I I have a few shoe boxes.
I don't know which one it's in.
Okay, this is what I suggest.
Don't tell us or anyone
you're fleeing because you're not.
You were taking this trip anyway.
Good. Yeah, I can do that.
Okay, we'll head to court
and try to get
this arrest warrant quashed.
Oh, crap. My my partner.
Buddy Lachlan.
- He'll need a lawyer too.
- You got money for that?
Yeah, there's another 40 G's
in baking powder in the kitchen.
You really should consider a bank.
Yeah, well,
get me out of this, and I will.
Please.
I was looking up
illegal gaming online.
It says I can get 10 to 20 years.
Okay.
Wait. So when did you join them?
About a month ago.
- You're the contractor?
- Oh, no.
My dad's the general contractor.
When they pay him.
And I work for him.
When he pays me.
Well, it's nice work.
- Cool hallway.
- Thanks.
- Where are they?
- No clue. Here's the key.
Thanks. It's a cute hat.
Olivia, where are you?
I came by to check on my investment,
and no one's here.
It's not a great look.
Donnie. Guy.
Bring me something. I'm bored.
On an angle here.
Come here. Come on.
Okay.
Let's go a little bit. Guy, that way.
That way. Wait wait.
Let's see
Oh, great!
Okay, I'll see you guys
in, like, an hour.
I'm kind of thinking Italian.
Someone entertain me! I'm bored!
Where is everyone?
- This is wild.
- Yeah, thanks.
I'm on with them,
trying to get the code.
So I have to confess something.
I've never done criminal law before.
You took it in school, though.
Yeah, but I did a lot
of things in school
and I'm finding it
very different in practice.
Yeah, criminal law isn't fun.
You have to push more. Be tougher.
Watch out for cops.
They don't like defense attorneys.
You might be fine, because you're
Sweet?
It's it's not a bad thing.
I don't like being sweet.
Hey, Christy.
We need the passcode for his gate.
- What is it?
- 6969.
- Of course.
- And the key is under the mat.
Oh, and and look
for Buddy's backpack.
It's red. It's got his laptop in it.
The police cannot get it.
It has everything on it.
Pass me back to Christy.
- Yeah.
- Be careful.
You can be seen as an accomplice.
I know. I'm documenting everything.
Good. Smart.
- What are you documenting?
- You kidnapping me.
These fold out into a bed.
Mile High Club. We can document that.
Okay, so why am I here, A.J.?
Why'd you want to take off with me?
I get lonely.
- Oh, god.
- No, I do.
I don't know many people out here,
and I like a party.
I like a lot of people around.
You want to drop some acid?
No.
And I don't want you
to drop it either.
You have to stay lucid
for any more legal questions.
I need sugar.
I'll check upstairs.
I got the kitchen.
In a box of baking powder.
Where did he say the money was?
In a shoebox in his closet.
This guy sure buys
everything in bulk.
Tell me about it!
- You hear that?
- Yeah.
But it might not be for us.
Any luck with the cash?
Not yet. There's a lot of canisters.
We're not doing anything illegal.
Okay.
Got it!
I got it! I got them.
Wait, that's not good.
It's baking powder, I tasted it.
I got it!
This is the police!
We have a search warrant
for these premises!
Open up, or we're coming in!
Okay, wash your hands quick.
You have to answer the door.
- Why me?
- You're White.
We're coming through the door now!
No sudden moves, Olivia.
Cops are unpredictable
at this moment.
Hands in the air.
Raise them high. ID in your hands.
Breach breach!
We're Mr. Cutter's lawyers!
We're here to preserve evidence
for you! We are unarmed!
- Get down!
- Do not move!
- Get down!
- Do not move!
- What are you doing?
- Put your hands
Hello?
Is anybody here?
Oh, you.
It's Nichole, right?
Natalia.
How's my ex-husband?
I'm guessing fine.
He doesn't need
my services anymore.
Oh, you must have turned 40.
Is Michael here?
No, but he'll be back soon.
You want to have a seat? Or
Did I interrupt something?
You ever boxed?
- In college.
- Here.
This can't end well.
Well, didn't start great either.
So, why not? Come on.
Okay.
Fake it till you make it.
No, we're like Nike. "Just fake it."
My name is Michael Price.
We're A.J. Cutter's attorneys.
My ID was kicked away
with a card from my law firm.
Where's your client, counselor?
He's in transit. May I please get up?
Keep your hands where they are.
Tell me, what's that over there?
Baking powder.
We had to dig through it
to find our retainer.
Your mouth retainer?
No. Our money.
Get up.
Mind telling us
what you're doing here?
Mr. Cutter instructed us
to retrieve our pay.
Or abscond with evidence.
You always get paid in cash?
It's been a weird day.
- Bag it up.
- Deputy
Proceeds of illegal activity.
You want your money?
Take it up with the judge.
They seized the cash.
Without payment,
we can't represent you.
I'm good for it.
No, you're in danger of having
your resources frozen, sir.
Oh, god.
Hold on.
Michael, I've got our retainer.
- Is it cash?
- No, it's a gold brick.
- How big?
- Big.
Four hundred ounces.
Worth 1.3 million.
You can refund me what you don't use.
Officer!
Officer, your search warrant
doesn't cover that backpack.
Everything on the premises.
That doesn't belong to Cutter.
And as his legal representatives,
we do not consent.
Listen, lady,
I found it on his premises.
- Now back the hell off.
- Look at the tag.
It doesn't belong to Cutter.
It's his partner's
who doesn't live here.
- You can't search it.
- I'm taking it in.
You want to argue against it?
Go to a judge.
I'll get to the courthouse,
try to quash the arrest warrant.
I'll get to the business partner.
What's his name?
Buddy Lachlan.
Tell him, "Mountain Goats."
- It's our secret code.
- I'm on it.
And what were you saying
about the PolyBetting again?
- They tried to block your license?
- They're our competition.
They've been lobbying
against us the last six months
keeping us from getting
our gaming license.
Okay, stay by the phone.
What are the chances
of getting the arrest quashed?
- A chance.
- Seventy-thirty?
Mr. Cutter, that's not how
our business works.
You need to get back here,
either way. Seriously.
If you're considering fleeing, don't.
- What do you think?
- I think they're good.
I don't know a lot about the law
but if anyone's
gonna get you off, it's them.
- Yo, how far are we?
- Halfway.
The point of no return?
Almost. Not yet.
Cool, if we circle around here
for a while?
I may want to head back to Palo Alto.
Yes, sir. We've got enough fuel
to circle for an hour.
Cool. Let's do it.
ATC, requesting holding
at our current position.
Mr. Lachlan
I'm District Attorney Clausen.
Good afternoon.
I didn't do anything.
Operating an illegal gambling website
money laundering, racketeering,
is doing something.
No, it's not illegal.
It's just just some fun, really.
Well, that's a good place
to start, Buddy.
Who's in charge of this fun?
Who coded WagerMode?
I'm Mr. Lachlan's lawyer.
We have not given permission
for this questioning.
Mr. Lachlan has already waived
his right to counsel.
- Please step out.
- He now changes his mind.
Buddy, "Mountain Goats."
What does that mean?
I change my mind.
I want to talk to my lawyer.
You already waived
your rights, Mr. Lachlan.
No, you did not.
Ask her to step outside.
She has to do it.
I need you to step outside.
Did you know he has bets on his site
for whether world leaders
will be assassinated this year?
Like, you can actually bet
on which politician
Ma'am, I need to speak
with my client.
And so, for the right odds
and a big enough bet
some degenerate might kill someone.
Thank you, ma'am.
How much is he paying you
to sell your soul?
Where's A.J.?
In transit.
I don't know more specifically,
but his house was searched
and they found your backpack.
Wait, everything's on there.
I mean, the the whole business.
My partner's trying to get it back
and quash the arrest.
What, my arrest too?
I'll be the one handling that.
How do you know each other?
You and A.J.?
From college.
He saw I could code
and suggested we partner.
Whose idea was WagerMode?
Mine. Well, actually, both of ours.
We have a fifty-fifty agreement.
We split everything down the middle.
We even have a contract.
But he's the brave one. He barges in.
I tend to be the one
who thinks too much.
I can relate.
Any cure for that?
I don't think so,
but I'm working on it.
Yeah, I'm on my way.
Clearly, the DA has
not brought charges
against a dozen
other prediction markets.
- It is only because he wants to
- Okay, I get it.
Mr. ADA, are we inconveniencing you?
Are you off your little call yet?
That was the DA, Your Honor.
- She's on her way in.
- How exciting.
This stinks of selective prosecution.
And given the DA's coming election
I tend to sympathize
with the defense counsel here.
This WagerMode site, Your Honor
offers bets on
the assassination of politicians.
So does PolyBetting,
a site licensed by the state.
We have received no charges
against PolyBetting.
'Cause you've been too busy
counting the cash
- they throw at you in lobbying.
- Your Honor, that is not true.
No, but it's a good retort.
Where is your client, Counselor?
- In transit, Your Honor.
- In transit from where to where?
I I'm not sure, Your Honor.
- How are you in touch with him?
- By phone.
Well, next time
you're on the phone with him
simply say, "Where are you?"
And when he tells you, you say,
"You need to appear in court. Now."
Look, Mr. Wonders,
your job isn't that hard.
Just say Mr. Cutter is a flight risk
and we ask
that the warrant not be quashed.
Go ahead and try it.
Mr. Cutter is a flight risk
and we ask that his arrest
not be quashed.
So agreed. And here comes
your backup, Mr. Wonders.
No need, Madam DA,
your man did well.
Yes, Your Honor. One other thing.
We have collected evidence
at Mr. Cutter's residence
- that belongs to his accomplice.
- Objection. To accomplice.
- You want to search this evidence?
- Yes.
Your Honor,
with the court's permission
Granted. And everybody's happy.
Great. Next!
A.J., bad news.
The judge has ordered you
to appear in court.
Look, I've checked
this PolyBetting information.
You have a good case here.
But you have to appear in court,
or this truly will be over.
Look, if he says it's a good case,
it's a good case.
I'm just afraid.
I don't do well with being closed in.
Well, it's worse
if you can never come home
to your friends, your family, anyone?
I don't have anyone.
- That's not true.
- Not like you, anyway.
I don't have any photos on my wall.
None of us stay in touch. I just
I've always worked.
Buddy is my only friend,
and now he's going to prison.
So let's keep you out of prison.
I am still conferring with my client.
Please step out.
Is this your laptop, Mr. Lachlan?
Under advisement from counsel,
my client will not be answering that.
Good thing I got a judge's permission
to inspect it.
What's the passcode, Mr. Lachlan?
I forgot.
- Give me your finger.
- No, he won't.
Deputy?
Ex excuse me.
No, we do not consent!
- Give me your hand.
- We don't need your consent.
- Officers?
- Stop struggling!
This is coercive police misconduct!
A violation of his Fourth Amendment.
Excuse me, sir! You're hurting him.
He has carpal tunnel syndrome!
Open your hand. Now.
Stop resisting!
You're making this worse
for yourself!
My client is entitled
to reasonable accommodations
per the Americans
with Disabilities Act.
Denial of which
is a per se violation!
Grab his hand! Grab it now!
Right there!
I am this close
to booking both of you
for obstruction of justice.
You're denying him
his religious freedom!
What religious freedom?
Heavenly Father,
we ask your guidance and patience
during these trials and difficulties.
Help me find peace, give me peace
What now?
Take her down.
No! You will not take me down!
I'll take you down, lady!
I think you really needed this.
It's good.
So why are you looking for Michael?
I have something for him.
- What?
- Something!
What's your relationship?
- With Michael?
- With the firm!
I am partially funding their rent.
It looks a bit more 33, 33, 33.
- Why do you ask?
- Because.
If you're a representative
of the firm
then I can serve you
this cease and desist order.
ColtAI is suing you for illegally
accessing its chatbot, Bo.
Come on, Olivia.
What the hell? Olivia!
- Hey, Michael.
- What are you guys doing?
- She's half your size.
- She resisted arrest.
- So you battered her?
- Michael
they're getting access
to Buddy's laptop.
Get on with Cutter. Find out
what we can do to address it.
No, first things first.
I'm gonna go talk to the judge.
This is beyond an overreaction.
- Your Honor.
- She resisted, Your Honor.
Come on, ADA.
She's 5'4", uncuff her right now!
Your Honor, she shoved our officers
That's exactly right, Your Honor.
There's no way she could resist.
No, this is a direct order
from the DA.
- I cannot be ordered
- Give me the keys.
If you're not doing it, I'm doing it.
- Uncuff her.
- Okay.
Can we stop arresting lawyers
and get some criminals in here?
Your Honor,
we have a much larger matter.
A new bet was just placed
on a prediction market site.
"Will A.J. Cutter fly his private jet
to St. Kitts before he is arrested?"
Would you like to explain,
Counselors?
- Which prediction site is this?
- Why does that matter?
If it's PolyBetting,
they may have a reason to lie.
Where are they getting
their information?
I'm guessing they did
what I just did.
Call the airport.
Mr. Cutter's pilot
had to submit a flight plan
- with passengers and destination.
- Okay, Counselor.
When you said "in transit" earlier
did you mean on a jet
to the Caribbean?
We have no knowledge of that,
Your Honor.
Defense counsel admitted
he was on the phone with his client.
Yes, and he was instructed
to ask where he was
and to get his ass back here.
- So, Counselor?
- I will call him right now.
You do that. And to add some urgency
get him here,
or I will hold you in contempt.
You'll spend the night in jail
if he doesn't make himself available.
- What happened?
- PolyBetting put a bet on their site
about your flight to St. Kitts.
What? How would they know that?
I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.
But you realize the pilot had
to submit a detailed flight plan.
- Oh, damn.
- So the judge is pissed.
Christy, you need
to have him come back.
The judge is holding us in contempt.
I come back, and I go to prison.
No, there are other options.
Like what?
I think we need
to discuss cooperating, A.J.
You want me to turn on Buddy?
I can get your charges brought down
from illegal ownership
of a gambling site to a participant.
That's the difference
between a misdemeanor and a felony.
- Michael, we need to talk.
- Let's get A.J. squared away first.
No, we need to talk now.
- I represent Buddy.
- Right.
We'll have to get him another lawyer.
No, I want to represent him.
- Why?
- I think he's getting a raw deal.
It's fifty-fifty between them
and he's always
the one left holding the bag.
But the DA will only offer one deal.
It's either Buddy or A.J.
They'll have to turn on each other.
We'll have to turn on each other.
Are you sure?
I don't know. Yes. I'm sure.
Okay, I'll take A.J.
You'll take Buddy.
We'll put a legal screen between us.
I won't go easy on you.
I wouldn't want you to.
- Good luck.
- Yeah.
A.J.
They've got Buddy in custody,
and they're questioning him.
It'll only be a matter of time
before he turns on you.
What are you talking about?
Buddy's my friend.
He would never do that.
His lawyer is going to him right now
to convince him.
Up to 20 years in prison versus
a misdemeanor with no jail time.
What would you do?
A.J., this is one
of those moments in life.
The decision you make
in the next few minutes
could ruin your life
or give you a clean slate.
The clock is ticking.
Buddy, you need to hurry and decide.
How's your cheek?
Good. Thank you.
Look, if we don't make a deal,
A.J. will
and then you're looking at 20 years.
What? I thought A.J.
was on his way to St. Kitts?
He is. He was.
The judge threatened him
and his lawyer's convincing him
to come back and testify against you.
A.J., I'm on my way
to the DA's office now
but I need something
to tempt her with.
Can I say, with your cooperation,
she won't need Buddy's laptop?
I'm still thinking.
Where's the DA?
At an interrogation room.
She's talking to Buddy.
You don't even know
what Bo is, do you?
Why don't you tell me what Bo is?
It's our intellectual property.
It's a chatbot my client created,
trained, and decided to delete.
- Why delete?
- It hallucinates too much.
There's a lot of that going around.
So what's your concern?
My concern is our intellectual
property is on your servers
and your partners are using it
to access ColtAI trade secrets.
No, sorry.
If you lost track of your IP
that is your fault, not ours.
And that's why we need to move
this conversation to court.
Here you go.
The real court.
So, what? This is just
a nuisance suit to slow us down?
And what makes you think that?
I saw the way that my ex worked.
Lawsuits were just
the language of business.
He never expected to win
or even settle.
He knew that the lawsuit itself
was the real goal.
Talk to Michael. See what he thinks.
That's outrageous.
She's making up claims
I'm not making up anything.
- My client is here right now.
- Because he was arrested!
Yes, because he didn't flee
jurisdiction.
A.J. wasn't fleeing.
This fight was already scheduled.
That's a lie.
My client can testify to it.
- And you know it's a lie, too.
- That's an appalling accusation!
It's not an accusation. It's a fact.
If this is from knowledge from when
you yourself represented my client
that is a breach
of attorney-client privilege
doesn't need prior knowledge
- to see you're
- to warn Ms. Siffre.
- the same thing
- Stop, stop, both of you.
All I want
Oh, your your cheek is bleeding.
Yeah.
- Here. Oh, okay.
- I got it.
- Does that hurt?
- No.
- You okay?
- Yes.
And then let's all sit down.
I want to explain something
to you two.
We accessed all
the WagerMode user data.
We got all their names,
all their bets except these
The high rollers.
Every gambler whose bets exceeded
one million dollars is blacked out.
Why does it matter?
You have everyone else.
This case isn't
about illegal gambling.
It is about election interference.
- How is that?
- What?
Several high rollers
put money on Candidate A
and then Drudge reports
that Candidate A is the frontrunner
which then becomes
a self-fulfilling prophecy
because it influences
how voters vote.
The bets are placed
not to gamble on who will win
but to push the narrative
that the candidate they want
is going to win.
It is more effective than campaign
contributions, and it's untraceable.
There is an anonymous user
who is single-handedly trying
to buy elections in this state
by placing bets through WagerMode.
He placed a six-million-dollar bet
on a proposition race
and an eight-million-dollar bet
on the governor's race.
The user's handle is "Go4Broke."
And the user's real name
is hidden there.
You want the deal I have to offer?
Cough up the real name of Go4Broke
and whoever gets it to me
first gets the deal.
Go!
Christy! Christy, can you hear me?
Christy? Christy, put him on.
Yo, what did we get?
There's only one deal,
but we have to act fast.
Someone rich has been going on
WagerMode to manipulate elections.
Someone named Go4Broke.
The DA wants their real identity.
They're not after you guys.
They're after this user.
You have the names
of the high rollers, right?
And you have access
to your site up there?
- Yeah.
- Does Buddy have access to it?
Well, then you need to hurry.
Give me his name.
Give him the name. What's wrong?
I have to safeguard
my users' identities.
A.J., you're out of moves.
You're facing 20 years in prison.
I have to safeguard the identities
of my users, especially high rollers.
Okay. Michael, can you let me
talk to him?
Good. But fast.
I don't understand,
when did you get so noble?
It's just a good business practice.
You know who Go4Broke is?
Yeah.
Is it someone you're scared of?
- Is it you?
- No.
I don't care about politics.
Who is that?
Buddy.
And you're sure you don't know
who Go4Broke is?
No. I never had access
to the users logs.
That was all A.J.
Still might be worth testifying,
even for mitigation.
What mitigation?
You'd have to testify against A.J.
as the organizer.
Didn't A.J. already make a deal?
No. I talked to the DA.
He turned her down.
A.J. didn't give up Go4Broke?
Maybe he didn't know who it was.
No, he does. But he'll go to prison?
Maybe. He's got a good lawyer.
What was that about?
We don't have enough fuel
to make it to St. Kitts anymore.
But we could make it
just across the border
to a small airfield
in Sonora, Mexico.
But you're not doing that.
It's taking a chance.
They still have extradition.
You're not doing that.
A.J., you need to stop running.
Didn't you know? Running is gangsta.
No.
You know, what's actually "gangsta,"
is getting arrested.
What are you talking about?
- Just give up?
- No.
Fight. Face to face. No fear.
The verdict won't actually matter
as long as you stand tall.
Don't let them hunt you down.
You show them you're not afraid.
That's how you become a legend.
You need to make a deal.
Should I send the DA in?
No. I'm sorry, I can't.
Why can't you?
I had only one friend in life.
I don't want to lose him, too.
Can I use your phone?
- Why?
- I want to make one last bet.
We are making our approach.
Please take your seats.
You think I'm doing the right thing?
Yeah. It's very adult.
Yeah.
One last time?
Go for it.
Hey, it's the kidnap victim.
How did A.J.'s surrender go?
He was a real hero.
- Whoa, what happened to you?
- Nothing.
She took on half
the police department.
- And me.
- Well, congratulations.
For what?
Seems like for this much gold,
we should have gotten them off.
It's not over yet.
Well, we have two clients in custody.
Two potential trials.
- Maybe not.
- What is it?
A new bet just went up on WagerMode.
"Will District Attorney Sally Clausen
win reelection in November?"
Go4Broke just bet
a million dollars on "no."
That'll hurt her campaign.
So, was Go4Broke A.J. all along?
It was Buddy.
Well, at least there's still honor
among thieves.
You're not drinking?
- I don't. I haven't.
- Really?
Come on. You just got in, like,
a fistfight or something.
I think you deserve a drink.
Okay. This is an event.
Us corrupting her.
- How is it?
- Bitter.
Okay, well, I took it from the plane.
That's a three-thousand-dollar
bottle of champagne.
What's a three-thousand-dollar
bottle of champagne?
Ms. Boutella?
How long have you been here?
Like ten hours.
What happened to your face?
Wow, that's cool. I like it.
That'll come in handy.
I'm glad you both like it,
because it's staying.
Also, I revised our contract.
How long ago did that happen?
Around the time
your ex showed up and served us.
With what?
A cease and desist.
About what?
I think it's time we have a talk
about your mysterious
little friend Bo.
