Giving a rousing speech to the jury, the calmness in Roberts’ voice is broken as the teaser quickly descends into chaos. Questions surrounding Roberts’ credibility are immediately put into place by Lt. Tardelli (McCallany) who wonders how the lawyer tracked down the suspect before the police. After a heartfelt moment between Roberts and his wife, Martha (Ellis), the teaser takes another plummet into madness and confusion before coming to a close.
