Cisco looks for some backstage passes to some concert.

The trial begins, and Mickey knows one juror might be on their side.

Opening statements begin, and prosecution goes first. Andrea paints a complete picture of Lisa murdering Bondurant because Lisa hated him.

On his time, Mickey tells the jury that Lisa was framed, and they'll prove it. Andrea interrupts Mickey several times during his statement.

The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2 Episode 7 Quotes

Legal: Now, what's so important that you had to see me the morning your trial starts?
Mickey: Someone left this on my doorstep last night.
Legal: That's an FBI target letter.
Mickey: Yeah, addressed to Alex Grant, also known as Alex Gazarian, my strawman.
Legal: I prefer the term alternate suspect, and this says that your alternate suspect is a person of interest in a federal investigation.
Mickey: Construction fraud. You know that e-mail Mitchell Bondurant sent? This puts it in a whole new light.
Legal: How so?
Mickey: Well, Bondurant sends an e-mail threatening to expose Alex Grant. By itself, it's not clear what he meant. The judge even said it wasn't enough to point the finger at him. She needed more. Well, this is more. This makes it look like Alex Grant was up to something illegal. That e-mail he sent wasn't a threat. He was blackmailed.
Legal: Blackmail's are pretty good motive to kill someone if it's legit. But this? This just shows up on your doorstep on the eve of trial. Either someone's really trying to help you, or they're really trying to fuck with you. You gotta find out which one.
Mickey: How do I do that?
Legal: Well, first, you gotta confirm that the letter is real or not, and you gotta do it fast.

Members of the jury, good morning. My name is Deputy District Attorney Andrea Freeman, and I'm here today to speak on behalf of someone who can't. The hard-working, successful man who helped build this city we call home and employed thousands of people along the way, Mitchell Bondurant. I'm here to tell you about the last brutal, violent moments of his life and about the person who ended it. The defendant, Lisa Trammel. Now the facts of this case. They're simple. The defendant and Mr. Bondurant were in a dispute. A dispute which forced Mr. Bondurant to take out a restraining order against the defendant because of her continued harassment. On the morning of the murder, after visiting a nearby farmers market, the defendant entered a local coffee shop near the victim's office, where she saw Mr. Bondurant getting a cup of coffee. The evidence will show that she then left the coffee shop, hurried to his parking garage, and hid behind a pillar, knowing he'd be arriving soon. There, she waited for him, slipping on a pair of gloves to make sure she didn't leave any fingerprints. And when Mr. Bondurant finally arrived and got out of his car, she viciously attacked him from behind, bludgeoning him over the head with a blunt instrument. Beating him literally to death. The evidence will show how the defendant hated Mr. Bondurant, how she stalked him, and how on the day of the murder, she entered his parking garage with the motive, the means, and the opportunity to kill.
