Diane says it was clear to her that Ippei didn't understand the gravity of the situation.

Because [laughs] I knew he was gonna be indicted, and he'd been out of the country, so why would he come back? And he said, "Oh, I shouldn't have?" I felt so terrible for him, and I said, "Well, no, your family is here.

You did the right thing."

As a criminal defense attorney, Diane knew that what had just happened to Ippei was going to fundamentally change his life.

And I said, "I'm so sorry you lost your best friend." And he said, "Well, it's my fault," you know? And he basically owned it.

And then I just quickly said, "Look, I really wish I could represent you, but I can't." I had a conflict of interest because Matt had given the government information about him.
