You know, drinking and driving

can get you a year

in prison, right?

Thank you.

Probably shouldn't do that.

So if you're an attorney,

can I ask you something?

- Well...

- I need my brother

out of jail.

What's your brother

in jail for?

Murder. He didn't do it.

I'm a good person,

but it does take money.

We're talking 50, 75 grand.

I can find you $50,000.

I'll talk to your brother.

I'll talk to the prosecutor.

I'll find out some facts,

and I'll see

what I can do to help.

Don't worry about payment.

- We'll figure something out.

- That's not a problem.

My cab's here.

Would you like

to take that, or...

yeah, 'cause I'm sick

of hearing you talk.

Prisoner to the front.

Prisoner to the back.

Back up.

Thank you, sir.

Ah, mr. Torres.

What's going on?

I am jaxon stone

and I am your attorney.

First of all,

anything you tell me

is covered under

attorney-client privilege,

meaning that

nothing we talk about

can go further than this room

and it's not

admissible in court.

Do you understand? Okay?

Now let's start off

with a few basics.

Um, what is your official

birth name for the record?

I didn't hire an attorney.

Okay, mr. Torres,

you don't know me,

I don't know you,

but let's come to some sort

of agreement here, okay?

I'm pleading guilty.

Your sister hired me

to help you out,

to keep the needle

out of your arm.

I'm good. That's what I do.

I need you to trust me.

Now... let's talk about

the night of the murder.

Can you tell me

exactly what happened?

I killed a man

with these hands.

If that's the case, we need

to talk about a plea deal.

Can maybe get you 15...

I don't know...

maybe even 12 years.

Are you listening?

- All right.

- Hey, guard?

I'm done.

I'm pleading guilty.

That's all you need to know.

Your brother's not

telling me anything.

I mean, he's knows

I'm here to help him, right?

Sometimes he can be

a little difficult.

Difficult I get.

Difficult I even understand.

But what I don't understand

is why a guy that

I'm trying to get out of jail

is withholding

crucial information.

I'm on his team.

Look, I don't know.

If he doesn't help me,

I'm gonna have to dig up

the information

by myself and build

a case without him.

Got it.

Let me tell both of you guys...

we've got a lot

of work ahead of us.

I mean, this is

some serious sh*t.

You have to have a plan

or something though, right?

Yeah, of course

I've got a plan.

We're gonna review

the documentation.

I'm gonna talk to some people

that know your brother,

talk to some people

that knew the victim,

find out some information

on the wife

and we're gonna

prepare for trial.

Okay, we're gonna

get your brother out.
