Warning: SPOILERS for Perry Mason Season 2, Episode 5, a.k.a. “Chapter Thirteen” are ahead!
Perry Mason Season 1 saw Gayle Rankin’s Emily Dodson being put on trial for the death of her infant son, Charlie, and while viewers ultimately knew that she didn’t have anything to do with the crime, her story nonetheless had a tragic ending. For Season 2, it’s brothers Rafael and Mateo Gallardo, respectively played by Fabrizio Guido and Peter Mendoza, who the HBO show’s title character is defending, except unlike Emily, the Gallardos committed the crime for which they’re on trial: murdering philanthropist Brooks McCutcheon. The brothers’ actors have now shared their reactions about this big twist to CinemaBlend, as well reflected on shooting the Gallardos-focused flashbacks in Season 2’s fifth episode.
