- He's already in the box.

David Hagan, line up.

Let's go.

Lieutenant.

How are you doing, Mike?

Great.

Lieutenant.

Jeremy, hey.

I'm Detective Mike Celia,

District Attorney Sharon Westlake.

Harold Gethers,

criminal attorney.

When you see the man

you saw at the store,

say his number

and he'll step forward

and repeat one

of the phrases you heard.

What he claims to have heard.

It's number four.

Number four, step forward

and repeat the phrase.

Number four,

please step forward.

Yeah.

Jeremy Thomas Coleman.

Oh my God.

- Social security number:

He lives at-

Okay, for the record

I knew nothing about that.

And what he just said does not

constitute an actual threat.

Your client just read--

- I believe my client

has not been formally identified.

That's him.

We have a responsibility

to our witness

and I don't mean procedurally.

- Obviously.

I mean emotionally, morally.

He ID-'d Hagan.

Jeremy needs to know

who he's testifying against

and he needs to know your end of it.

I'm telling you we're gonna have

to play good cop, bad cop here.

All right, tell me about him.

Local, born and bred; parents died

in a fire when he was eight;

couple of group homes,

some juvie stuff;

entered the fire academy,

only job he's ever had.

No other family?

- Hm-mmm.

Good.

Makes it easier for us.

See you in a minute.

Hello, Jeremy,

thanks for waiting.

Before Detective Cella

gets here,

I'd like to give you some

background information, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

A few years ago,

after David Hagan tumed

his Aryan following

in San Quentin into a street crew,

Detective Cella

and his partner decided

to go after his organization.

They made cases against

some of these guys.

They wanted them to flip,

to testify for the state.

That didn't work out.

Hagan killed

Detective Celia's partner

and his partner's wife.

You gonna tell him

how the DA's office

gave up on the case?

- Stop.

That had nothing to do

with this case.

Yeah, and neither does

a half a dozen or so crimes

on Hagan's rap sheet.

Tell him the truth!

- The truth is...

we can't get Hagan

unless you testify.

The truth is

Hagan is a sociopath.

He is a stone-cold killer.

He doesn't give a f***.

I will put you

in witness protection.

The feds will keep you safe.

So my whole life just--

just goes away?

You get to keep your first name.

You-- you gotta be

f***ing kidding me.

F***ing witness protection.

All right.

I'll do it.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

I'll do it.

Your driver's license,

Mr. Coleman.

Put your bag

on the side please.

Step on through.

Thank you.

You're late.

Come on.

Right through here.

Hey, Mullen.

Mullen, they're here.

Go ahead and patch it in.
