Maroun quotes from Law & Order

[after Price loses the case] You know, a really smart prosecutor once told that if you try a good case, the jury is always right, even if it doesn't feel good.

A man is dead and a family has been destroyed. All because a good man blurted out a stupid, hateful word.

[about Nicole] She put on a hell of a show today.

Jury ate it up, too. Juror number four had tears in her eyes.

I get it. Her story's heartbreaking. But they have to know that she's lying, that this self-defense claim is nonsense.

They know. They just don't care.

[looking suspiciously at Price's takeout] What's "jiang reed"?

Better not to ask.

What's that mean?

It means it's really good, but it's better not to know what you're actually eating. [pause] It's sauteed crickets.

Seriously?

There's a lot of money in being an influencer.

Your point?

All they have to do is convince one juror that there's a possibility that Amanda is alive, that this is all a publicity stunt, and we have a mistrial.

So, let's keep all social media addicts and aspiring influencers off the jury.

That's pretty much everyone under 30.

And everyone with negative views of social media stars.

That's pretty much everyone over 30.

Hell of a verdict, Nolan. It'll make people think twice about tweeting venom.

I'm not so sure. Someone called "Garrett From the Country" just tweeted me a particularly venomous death threat.

My father told me to stand up for myself. Be strong. Someone hits you, you hit back. There's nothing wrong with that.

You brought a gun to a fistfight. You fired that gun and killed an innocent man. There's no walking that back.

My client has an opioid addiction.

Let's cut to the chase. You're asking me to send him to rehab?

Yes, in-patient rehab so he can get treatment.

He can detox in Rikers, like everyone else.

The U.S. Attorney wants to take over this prosecution.

What?

I can't say I appreciate their approach, but their interest in the case is understandable.

That doesn't mean...

I agree. The NYPD investigated this case. They put in the sweat. They consoled the victims' families. They took the heat from the press. This happened in our city, New York. Hell, I was there. I saw what this man did. There's no way I'm letting this case go.

I'm on board, but there's a few more people you need to convince.

I'm so sorry about what happened today. Are you here to fire me?

McCoy

I know who you are, Miss Maroun.

I'm not sure that's a good thing. I screwed up.

McCoy

Like everyone else. If you don't screw up, you're not trying hard enough.

Thank you.

For what?

Winning the trial. If it weren't for you, Castillo would have walked out of here a free man yet again.

If it weren't for me, Perry Sutton would still be alive.

If you didn't consent to the recording, I can go back in there and ask the judge to suppress it. [Pollard shakes her head] Well, he's not allowed to play the entire tape. It'll be limited in scope...

I am half-naked, Mr. Price, asking a man, asking that man, to take charge of my body. Do you understand how that looks?

It looks like a woman engaged in a consensual act, making a choice.

It will be my undoing.

The jury will see right through his charade.

I've seen thousands of women torn to shreds on the stand. It always comes down to one thing: sex. You can do this.

You've made a career out of encouraging women to stand up for themselves. Now that it's your turn, what, you're just going to try to look the other way? You can do this.

Don't you think it's a little too convenient that this perfect piece of evidence just fell from the sky at exactly the right moment?

McCoy

Gift horses, Ms. Maroun.

You were right. Alexander Lockett tried to protect his men, but chose to follow the chain of command, and he ended up dying for it.

He was a soldier, and he was following orders.

Still not sure that makes it right.

No one ever said it did.
