A jailed Julian says his dead friend Giselle sent him; at the morgue Mickey identifies her by her real name, Gloria Dayton.
In jail, Julian says he knew the victim as Giselle and runs an encrypted site vetting clients' dates, taking a 20% cut.
Julian admits he was at her place over money, says he only pushed her, and Mickey agrees to the arraignment but not yet to the case.
Mickey forces out that Julian grabbed Glory by the neck and walks out, until Julian repeats her words: tell Mickey. Mickey takes the case.
After Mickey's bail pitch, Forsythe produces a final autopsy saying smoke, not strangling, killed Glory, and bail vanishes.
Told trial may be eight months off, Julian begs Mickey to tell David to stop visiting so he will not see him like this.
Julian is furious Mickey let David come, but the moment David reaches out, his resolve breaks.
At the suppression hearing Mickey presses the detective on why Julian was never read his Miranda rights.
The judge credits Mickey's points and doubts the detective, then denies the motion anyway.
Julian La Cosse and David fear a conspiracy theory will sink the case; Mickey explains the crooked agent and ex-cop and asks them to trust him.
Mickey brings Julian a refitted suit; they trade Oscar Wilde lines, and Julian wonders if he could have saved Gloria that night.
At sidebar Mickey argues third-party culpability and the judge finally allows the DEA agent on the stand, on a short leash.
In his hospital bed, Julian hears the charges are dismissed, thanks Mickey, and balks at the idea of ever suing in court.
