Previously
on "The Practice"...

Did you murder her
because she was going

to break off
a sexual affair?

I did not have an affair with
her, and I did not kill her!

You're going down for murder
now, you get that?

It was Steven.

Your son Steven?

I saw the dark clothes
on him when he left.

Why haven't you
told anybody?

Because I don't want
him to spend life in jail

for something I drove him to.

-Let me go to the D. A.
-Absolutely not.

This is between you
and me.

You gave me your word.

Man: We find
the defendant guilty.

I didn't do it.

I didn't do it.

Jimmy, are you okay?

What? Oh, uh,
I was just thinking

about something
the doctor said.

What are you
looking for?

Evidence in connection

with the attempted murder
of Lindsay Dole.

What?

On what basis do you
get such a warrant?

I'm sorry.

I saw the picture
of Bobby and Lindsay

with the face
all scratched.

My brain just started
going sideways.

Lindsay, Lindsay, are --

Oh, sorry.

Do you guys brush or you
just start right in
with morning breath?

Helen.

Never mind I just got
called to a crime scene

so I got to go.

Okay well, thanks for
coming in to tell me.

Sorry again.

She's not sorry.
She likes doing that.

I'll get a lock.

Never mind a lock.

Move in with me.

Bobby.

Why do we have to wait
till we're married?

We haven't set the date.

You can still wear white
if we live together first.

Tell that to my father.

What about Helen?

She can't afford this place
by herself.

And that's the real issue,
isn't it?

You don't want
to bail on Helen.

We go back and forth
just to collect clothes.

This is ridiculous.

What do we got?

Big ticket. The suspect's
thepresident of
Boston Liberty bank--

Pierce Stanton.

This is officer Henderson.

Helen Gamble,
district attorney.

Okay, let's go take a look.

I pulled him over
for a traffic violation.

He ran a stop sign.

I haven't
touched anything yet.

And he confessed?

Just started crying
and said he strangled her.

Mr. Stanton,
I'm Helen Gamble

from the
district attorney's office.

We're going to take you
to the police station.

And we'd like you
to make a statement, okay?

We'll try to help you.

I think I should call
my lawyer.

Okay. That's fine.

Would you call him?

His name is Bobby Donnell.
I'm sure he's listed.

♪

She may have jumped the gun on
the search a little,

that's why
I called you down here.

Jumped the gun how?

Well, reasonable suspicion
is iffy.

She's the one
he confessed to?

Yeah.

Officer Henderson.

Can you come by my office
this morning?

Sure.

Okay. Bye, Mike.

I can't continue
to just sit on this.

You gave me your word,
Jimmy.

Let me ask you something,
Henry.

Are you sure?

Have you talked
to your son about it?

It's a little difficult
to have a conversation

from where I'm situated
at the moment.

Have you told your wife?

No.

So what we got here,
your son's a killer

living in your home
with your wife

and your 11-year-old
daughter.

Aren't you concerned
as a father?

Of course, but --

how can you stay quiet?

I can't necessarily
trust Allison not to tell.

She might tell out of
concern for him.

The kid needs help.

I don't want
to have this discussion --

We're going
to have this discussion!

Man: Sir, I'll have to
ask you to leave

if you do that again.

Henry,
you're an intelligent man.

You've got to know
this is not smart.

You're in jail for a crime
you didn't commit.

Your son is
in desperate need of help

and isn't getting it.

For god's sake, Henry.

I don't know what to do
any more, Jimmy.

I can't see him
go to prison.

I couldn't live
with that.

You trusted me once.

I know a judge
I think I can trust.

Let me talk to her,

and maybe my partners.

They'll keep
my confidence.

I promise.

I didn't plan it.

It wasn't like
it was premeditated.

Just tell me
what happened.

We'd been fighting,

which we'd been doing
a lot of lately,

and she wasn't happy.

She kept saying
she wasn't happy

about this
and about that.

It was building.

Everything that I did
wasn't good enough,

whether it be my personality
or my sperm count

or the way I rinse
a damn dish.

I buy her a $3 million home
in Cambridge,

and every time
I drive home to it,

I'm afraid to go inside

because I know I'm going
to get an earful

of how I don't measure up.
I got sick of it Bobby.

Calm down
and tell me what happened.

Like I said,
we were having an argument,

and she's saying
she hates this,

she hates that,

and I said to her,

"it's me you hate,
isn't it?

It's me."

And she says
maybe she does.

Then there's
some more screaming,

and suddenly my hands
are on her throat.

I don't know what
the argument was about.

But my hands are on her throat
and I'm squeezing,

and I'm squeezing
as hard as I can,

and suddenly she goes limp.

I let her go.

Where were you going
with her?

What?

With her in the trunk.

She had made plans
to go shopping in town,

and she told some friends.

I was going to try

to make it look like a
mugging or something,

then I ran a stop sign.

You believe it?

Okay, how much
of what you just told me

did you tell
that police officer?

All of it.

Helen.

What are you
doing here?

Stanton case.

It takes two
to do an arraignment now?

No. Actually,
I came to see you.

Oh.

I'm going to move in
with Bobby.

Oh. When?

Well, pretty much
right away.

I'm there half the time
anyway, so...

Is this because
I walked in on you guys?

'cause I can cut back
on that.

No, it's something that
we've been talking about.

Okay, but I'm going
to have to move out.

I can't swing that place
on my own.

You can find
another roommate.

Lindsay,
who am I going to find?

Women don't like me.

Men just want
to sleep with me.

I end up wanting
to sleep with them.

It's a vicious cycle.

Woman: 32114...

I got to go.

Commonwealth vs Pierce Stanton

on the charge of murder in the
first degree.

Bobby Donnell
for the defendant your honor--

waive reading,
plead not guilty.

Helen Gamble
for the commonwealth --

oppose bail.

My client has established
roots in the community--

-Murder one.
-Event so.

Bail is denied.

Move for a probable
cause hearing.

2:00. Put the defendant
back in the lockup.

Next case.

Any offers?

Bobby, he confessed.

What kind of deal
do you expect me to cut?

Jimmy.

You got a second?

I suppose.

I know Eleanor was in last
week hitting you up for
the special favors.

I promise this ain't about that.

I love when you use words
like ain't.

Eloquence has
a way of leaving me moist.

Listen...

I know your integrity
as a judge

comes above anything else,

and I'm here, actually,
to ask your help or advice.

It's kind of a grave thing.

I'm listening.

I would appreciate it

if we could keep this
confidential

'cause it involves

a privileged relationship
on my end.

I got a client convicted
of a serious crime

which he didn't commit.

His son committed it.

My client
doesn't want his son

to go to prison
for the rest of his life,

so he's taking the fall.

I can't convince him
to come forward with the truth.

Nevertheless,
I got the truth.

Do you have evidence

that the son
committed the crime?

Well, just my client's word,
but it's a good word.

So basically,

you've got a client
convicted of a crime

who says he's innocent.

You expect what?

I don't know,
but this isn't just a case

of the convicted guy
saying he's innocent.

It's exactly that.

That's what happens
in 90% of the cases.

Now, you have new evidence,
you take it to the D. A.

If you don't --
what am I missing here?

Well, I guess I am looking
for a favor,

though I don't see it
like that.

We're both officers
of the court.

An injustice has occurred.

If I go to the D. A.,
he's just going to laugh.

It's going to seem exactly
as you said.

I'm going to look like
every defense attorney

throwing a hail Mary,

but if I go in
with a judge,

that might give me
some credibility.

Get out.

If I could convince you

that what I'm saying
is true --

I said get out.

You could help prevent
a big miscarriage here.

This "integrity
of the robe" thing,

that's just a bunch
of crap.

Hey, you think I won't
hold you in contempt?

Go ahead. We'd be even.

And no matter how hard I try
to change his mind,

he won't budge.

The son did it?

-Yes.
-And you knew this.

I didn't know
till closing arguments.

Why didn't you tell us?

I gave him my word.

We're his lawyers on this case.

Don't you start in on me,
damn it.

I gave him my word.
That has to count for something.

Alright let's calm down and
figure out where we're going
from here.

Can we go to the D. A.?

Bay? Forget it.

Without evidence,
Bay is just going to laugh.

A confession is new evidence.
I say we go to the son.

We can't reveal
what we heard from Henry --

client privilege.

You broke privilege
when you went to Kittleson.

Kittleson won't talk!
And I asked you not to start in.

Alright.

Look, Go to Henry.

Get his permission
to talk to his son.

He'll just say no.

He wants to spend life
in jail?

Yes. That's what
I keep telling you.

Let me have a little chat
with Henry.

Please have a seat.

How long have you
been a police officer?

Two years.

Do you remember learning
anything at the academy

about the fourth amendment?

What right did you have
to open that trunk?

He was acting suspiciously.

We've got a problem,
officer.

You had no legal grounds
to conduct that search.

Unless...

I see he didn't have
his registration on him.

That's right.

See, I think what happened

is you decided
to impound the vehicle.

Once you made that decision,
you then conducted

an inventory search
of the vehicle.

Is that what happened?

Yes.

Okay well, we need
to be clear on that

once you get
in the witness chair,

otherwise the contents
of that trunk together

with the confession
will be suppressed.

Are we clear?

Yes.

Good.

You might want
to get some coffee.

You're on in an hour.

Roberta.

Can I speak to you
in private?

First of all,

you had no right to reveal to me
your client's --

I didn't give you names.

I can figure it out.
Give me some credit.

Are you sure your client
is telling the truth?

Yes.

What you first need to do

is get his permission
to talk to the son.

Eugene's trying
to do that now.

Assuming he consents,
you need to get the boy counsel.

I would then try to secure
a written confession

with counsel.

Then you take that
to the district attorney

and you go from there,

but the boy
must have counsel.

Yeah.

The reason
I got so angry --

when somebody so much as asks
for special treatment

on the basis
of a personal relationship,

I consider it
a professional indictment

and I take offense.

I wasn't trying to insult you
professionally, Roberta.

Everybody knows
you're a great judge.

That's why
I came to you --

for advice,

and maybe a little
because I missed you.

Well...

You have my advice.

I pulled him over

after he failed
to stop for the sign.

He appeared
to be very nervous.

What happened then?

I asked for his license
and registration.

He didn't have
his registration,

so I decided
to impound the vehicle.

I then ordered the suspect

out of the vehicle
and then searched it.

I discovered the body
of a deceased woman in the
trunk.

What happened next?

He then basically broke down

and told me
he had murdered his wife

and was planning
to dispose of the body

to avoid being caught.

Thank you, officer.

You said
he was acting nervously.

Very.

Did his behavior
make you suspicious?

Well, I suppose
it did a little.

He looked like
he was hiding something.

You said you ordered
the suspect out

and then searched
the trunk.

What was he a suspect of?

He wasn't a suspect
at that time.

He became a suspect
after I opened the trunk.

You said you ordered
the suspect out.

Shall we read back
your testimony?

I misstated it.

He wasn't a suspect
until I opened the trunk.

Okay, and when you went
to search the trunk,

was it because you thought
he was hiding something there?

No, that was
an inventory search.

I had decided
to impound the vehicle,

so I did
an inventory search.

Why were you impounding
the vehicle?

Because he didn't have
any registration.

The car wasn't registered?

It turned out
to be registered,

but he didn't have
the registration on him.

Is it your policy
to impound registered vehicles

when the driver isn't in
possession of the registration?

No. I didn't know
it was registered when I
decided to impound it.

You call in the plates?

No.

Isn't it procedure to call in
the plates to determined whether
a car is registered?

Many officers do that.

I didn't on this occasion.
I suppose I could have.

You suppose
you could have.

Did you tell my client

you were impounding
his car when you asked him to
open his trunk?

I don't recall.

-Did you call a tow truck?
-No.

-Why not?
-No. I hadn't gotten
to that yet.

Were you planning
to get to that?

-Objection.
-Overruled.

I was going to order he truck
after I did the search.

Officer Henderson,
we all know

how long it takes
tow trucks to show up.

It's your testimony that you
planned to search first and then
call for the truck?

Yes.

Okay, when you went
to search the trunk,

you didn't tell my client
you were taking his car.

You didn't tell him he'd have
to get picked up by somebody?

Or hitch a ride
to the station?

No.

Your Honor the defense moves to
suppress the contents of the
trunk

together with
my client's confession.

Opposed.

I'll hear oral arguments
tomorrow morning, 10:00.

He says we can't talk
to the son.

So now what?

It's over.

It's not over.

Jimmy, there's nothing more
we can do.

It can't be over.

We just don't sit back
saying it's over

while the wrong guy
sits in jail.

I think we should
confront the son anyway.

Can't do that.

Why not? If --

Because he instructed you not
to. you can't talk to the kid

without revealing
a lawyer-client communication.

Eugene, what are we
supposed to do here,

forget about it? Move on
while an innocent man

serves a life sentence?

That's exactly
what we do, Jimmy.

Now if you want to go
through the transcripts,

find an appealable issue,
do it,

but what the client
told you in confidence,

you keep it in confidence.

Not when it amounts to --

Jimmy, you can't do it.

Um, I'm here
to see Mr. Berluti.

Steven, hey.

Hey.

Thanks for coming.

Had no trouble
getting here?

No. I took the "T."

Here, let's use this office
right here.

Jimmy, can I talk to you a
second?

Go ahead, Steve.
I'll be right in.

-What are you doing?
-I'm going to talk to him.

We didn't get permission
from his father to talk to him.

I won't be revealing
anything Henry said --

Jimmy, you can't reveal
client privileged information.

There's no way
you can talk to him without--

I won't say
what his father told me.

How do you accuse him
of the crime

without violating privilege?

You don't have any
independent information
other than what Henry told you.

Eugene, If I get called
before the bar,

I get called
before the bar. I really
don't care anymore.

I'm going in there
with you.

No, you're staying
out here.

The officer admitted
he seemed suspicious,

thought maybe
he was hiding something,

so what did she do?

She opened the trunk.

And anybody
with a law degree knows

she made a mistake.

This was no inventory search.

She never said she was going
to impound the vehicle.

The police
don't seize vehicles

when the drivers
don't have proof

of registration.

They just call the plates in
to check.

It takes 30 seconds.

She never called a tow truck.

She said she was going
to do that after.

Please. We all know
what's going on here.

They've decided to call it
an inventory search

to justify it.

Nothing in the behavior
of that police officer

is consistent
with police procedure

on an inventory search.

This all hinges on what officer
Henderson was thinking

when she opened that trunk.

We have her word
that it was inventory

versus Bobby Donnell's ability
to read minds.

Come on counsel, how many
officers are out there taking
cars

because the drivers can't find
their registration?

Maybe she was
a little overzealous.

She's 27 years old.

Young police officers
get that way sometimes.

So what. She hadn't taken him
into custody.

She hadn't placed him
under arrest.

He wasn't any kind
of suspect.

By officer Henderson's own
uncontroverted testimony,

it was an inventory search,

and defense counsel
is standing up here

asking you to read minds,

asking you
to play guessing games,

asking you to suppress
the contents of that trunk.

Anybody with a law degree
knows what happens

if you do, don't we?

It's a lie.

Is it, Steven?

Your dad saw you
going out the door.

The reason
he's staying quiet,

he doesn't want to see you
go to prison.

He loves you too much
for that.

He'd rather spend the rest
of his life in jail

than see you get hurt.

I don't see you
as some kind of monster.

A boy finds out his dad's
got this sick sexual fetish,

it's got to be devastating,

doing what he was doing,

and when you went
to the office

and saw the woman,
I don't know.

Any kid would probably go
a little nuts inside,

and the court would
understand this, Steven.

They would.

However angry
you might be at your dad,

you're going
to be more angry

at yourself one day

if you let him go
to prison forever.

The fact that
he's willing to do it,

that shows how much
he loves you.

The fact
that you got so hurt

by his fetish thing,

that shows how much
you love him.

I've known you practically
your whole life.

You're a good kid,
a great kid.

You'll destroy yourself

if you don't correct
what's happened here.

He's sick. He's sick.

I know he is,

and we got to get him
some help,

but first we got to
get him out of jail.

Will you help me do that?

Oh.

You and me roommates?

Lindsay said you needed one,

I'm looking at the moment,

and I thought maybe
on a temporary basis --

Eleanor, do you think
you and I are compatible?

Well, why wouldn't we be?

Well don't get me wrong I like
to have fun during off hours, I
love to, but,

I just have this vision of
you doing drugs or I guess I'd
had to have you arrested.

-You think I do drugs?
-No, no I don't but.

I have this notion

of you traveling
in underground circles.

Well, Helen, I wish I did.

But, unfortunately,
I work all day

and I come home
and I work all night,

and really,
I'm less fun that Lindsay.

Nobody's less fun
than Lindsay.

I heard that.

You think Eleanor and I
are a good match?

Well...

Look she dates men
who cut off heads.

I have this thin
little neck.

Okay, that's really funny.

See, you're already
bickering -- roommates.

Helen, the judge
is coming back.

Ms. Gamble is correct
in her assertion.

We cannot know what was
in officer Henderson's mind

when she searched that trunk,

but the court
is certainly entitled

to exercise
common sense together

with the benefit
of experience

when making its guess.

She was suspicious
of the driver.

She admitted as much.

The search of the trunk
in the court's opinion

was a result
of that suspicion,

and while granted
that suspicion

turned out to be
extremely well founded,

it was nevertheless
legally unreasonable.

The contents of the trunk
are suppressed.

The defendant's
ensuing confession

is therefore
also suppressed

as a fruit
of a poisonous tree.

Ms. Gamble...

I'm as disappointed
as you are.

This is awful,

but we both know
it's not even a close call.

If you can get
new evidence, refile,

so long as it's independent.

Otherwise...

Congratulations,
Mr. Stanton.

For now,
you get away with murder.

Adjourned.

I don't believe it.

I would hope you get
some counseling, Pierce.

It doesn't seem right

I can just walk out
totally free.

I wouldn't book yourself
on "Larry King."

What are you waiting for,
somebody to say,

"chin up,
don't feel so bad"?

You should feel bad.
You made a terrible mistake.

If I hadn't
opened up that trunk,

we might never have known
a murder even happened.

Maybe, but because you did
open up that trunk,

you pretty much guaranteed
his getting away with it.

You've never made a mistake,
Ms. Gamble?

No.

I'm going to go home
and check on her.

You know how she is
about losing.

I should probably
check up on Stanton.

He hasn't even begun to deal
with losing his wife.

How are you?

Me? I'm okay. Why?

I don't know what's worse,

the fact that we freed
another murderer

or the fact that it doesn't
really bother us anymore.

You know what I don't care.

If I broke
lawyer-client privilege,

I can live with it.

The issue isn't
whether you care.

You guys are trying
to make me feel bad.

I'm not gonna to feel bad.

If I violated some precious
lawyer rule, tough. I wasn't
about to let some innocent man--

Privilege isn't just
some precious lawyer rule.

I left you out of it.

You didn't leave any
of us out of it.

-Oh please.
-Hey, you did this to us,
Jimmy, to us.

Well, then I'm sorry.

Well, I lose my roommate,
I lose my cases,

I lose my cases
to my roommate.

Have you given any thought
to Eleanor?

Not really.

-We're still going to
see each other, right?
-Helen.

Don't Helen me,

I-I like having you
in the next room.

I've even gotten used

to Bobby being in it
with you.

We're still going to
see each other all the time.

Yeah. When are you
moving out?

At the end of the month,
I guess.

I don't want to
lose you, Lindsay.

You're not going
to lose me.

Promise.

Anything else?

LUCY: No. Everything else
can wait till tomorrow.

Okay. I'm on my way
to Pierce Stanton's house.

I'm just going to see
how he's doing,

then I'll probably
head home.

Have a good night.

You, too.

Where's he going?

I'm not saying
I don't like her.

I'm just saying you two
as roommates?

What? We get along great.

Oil and vinegar.

I hear a phone ringing.

It would just be nice

to get out
of that rabbit warren.

That's all I can say.

Hey, Jimmy,
it's Allison Olson.

Allison, what's up?

Oh, my god.

When?

Oh, god.

Where are you now?

I'll be right there.

Jimmy, what's wrong?

Steven Olson --

he just hung himself
in the garage.

He's dead?

Yeah.

I know he was upset
by all of this,

but I never, never...

Allison,
Steven killed the woman.

What?

Your husband was taking
the fall for him.

I confronted Steven on it
this afternoon.

-Come on. come on, come on.
-Hi, this is Lindsay.
I'm not home right now,

but if you leave a message,
I'll call you back. Thanks.

Lindsay, call me as soon
as you get this.

I just saw our little friend
Pierce Stanton

go into
officer Henderson's home.

I think they pulled off
the perfect crime.

-You killed my son.
-Henry.

You killed my son!

I didn't kill him, he took his
life out of guilt.

Because you went to him

after I told you
not to go to him!

I know, and I'm sorry.

All that's left
for me to do now

is get you out.

I'm going to tell the D.A.
Everything that's happened,

and hopefully
we can get you out.

I told you not
to go to him.

I told you not
to go to him.

You have one new message.

BOBBY: Lindsay,
call me as soon

as you get this.

I just saw our little friend
Pierce Stanton

go into
officer Henderson's home.

I think they pulled off
the perfect crime.

To store message
press save.
Message saved.

This is a warrant
to search your house.

What?

Cynthia Henderson,
you're under arrest

for the murder
of Elizabeth Stanton.

You have the right
to remain silent.

You have the right
to an attorney.

If you cannot afford
an attorney one will be
appointed to you...

(telephone ringing)

Hello.

What?

I'll be right there.

What?

The police somehow
figured it out.

They just arrested
both of them.

Did he leave
any kind of note?

No.

Well, did he admit to anyone
he killed the woman?

No. He didn't exactly
deny it though either
when I confronted him.

What are you asking me for?

Henry didn't do it.

I'm asking you
to release him.

You're not serious.

Of course. The guy
didn't commit the crime.

You think I'm going to
release a convicted murderer

on the grounds his defense
attorney says he's innocent?

I expect you to
because he is innocent!

For all I know,
the kid hung himself

-because his father's
a killer.
-That isn't the case.

Well give me evidence.
Your word of honor

doesn't buy
a cup of coffee.

Richard, I'm telling you
the truth here.

Look, even if I did
believe you,

and let's say I do, okay?

I'm inclined to.

I don't trust
your partners so much,

but you strike me as honest.

I don't have any way
of knowing you're right.

Again, even if I thought
you were right,

you think I've got any basis
to throw out a conviction?

Even if I went to the judge,

he'd throw me out
on my ass,

after which my boss

would throw me out
on the street.

There is nothing
I can do here.

An innocent man

is going to spend the rest
of his life in prison

for a crime
he didn't commit.

Wouldn't be the first time
that happened.

I'd tell you're client to think
twice before hiding the truth
from his attorney.

Woman: case number 32345
and 32346 --

commonwealth
vs Pierce Stanton

and Cynthia Henderson,

murder in the first degree,
conspiracy to commit murder.

Bobby Donnell for
Pierce Stanton, your honor.

Marcia Shultz
for Cynthia Henderson.

Your honor,
this seems like harassment.

The police are frustrated
at losing Mr. Stanton,

so they've hatched a conspiracy
theory between Mr. Stanton

and the officer
who searched the trunk

without any new evidence
whatsoever, as fas as I could
tell on the incident report.

I have to admit Ms. Gamble
I'm a little curious.

We have new evidence.
I have an audio tape

which I'm happy to play
for the court.

Let's hear it.

Bobby: Lindsay,
call me as soon

as you get this.

I just saw our little friend
Pierce Stanton

go into
officer Henderson's home.

I think they pulled off
the perfect crime.

That was attorney
Robert Donnell

talking to attorney
Lindsay Dole.

We then went
to Ms. Henderson's home

and found Mr. Stanton
and Ms. Henderson together.

First of all, that tape
was a private message

from me to Ms. Dole.

Mr. Donnell
is not the defendant.

He has no standing to assert
fourth amendment arguments.

Second, it's work product --
lawyer to lawyer.

This isn't work product,
it doesn't involve strategy.

How did you get this tape?

Lindsay Dole is my roommate.

I pulled it off
her answering machine.

Which is an invasion
of privacy.

You're not on trial here,
they are.

They cannot argue an invasion
of your privacy as a defense.

I maintain
it's work product.

The case was over
it doesn't apply..

Quiet. Am I to understand
these two orchestrated

that unconstitutional search
of the trunk?

Yes, your honor.
They're lovers.

He kills the wife.

She as a police officer,
illegally searches the trunk.

The body and the confession
are thrown out.

And of course,
it would be nearly impossible

for the police
to build a case independent

of search and confession.

End result --
they get away with murder.

Well, aren't we clever?

That phone message
should not be allowed in!

Mr. Donnell, I had no choice

but to set your client free
the last time,

but here I am very much
in charge.

As Ms. Gamble pointed out,

your client has no standing

to assert
your privacy rights,

nor do I find
your little phone message

to fall within work product.

The charges stand.

They'll be held
without bail,

and that is that.

I don't want to hear it,
get out of my office.

Not until you look me
in the eye --

I am looking you in the eye!
I wasn't about to let
those two murderers go free.

I didn't think it was going
to jeopardize our friendship,
Lindsay.

I thought our friendship
was stronger than that.

It was a private message.

And if the stakes
weren't so high --

Come one Helen,
you of all people--

You of all people what? Was it
a violation of trust?

Maybe it was.
In the scheme of things --

and you, you traded

on inside information
with me last year

to much more tragic results.

I can't believe you could
be standing there

complaining at all.

Did you think I was going
to sit on that information

because you're my friends?

Come on.
I'll buy you a beer.

I got a little more work
to do.

There's nothing else
you can do, Jimmy.

No, I've done enough.

I should have listened
to you.

The kid wasn't going to
survive this staying quiet.

We both know that.

He was a murderer.
Let's not forget it.

I'm going to head home.

If you need me, call, okay?

Okay.

It's so easy to play
"if I'd just done that,

if I'd only said this."

You'll lose that game,
Jimmy.

I've put killers back out
on the street

only to have them
kill again.

You can only be true
to yourself

and trust that.

No.

You can only be true
to the rules.

You put killers back
on the street

because the rules of law
told you to.

The rules here,

they said honor privilege.

I broke the rules,

and now a kid is dead

and my client...

I don't have any system
to cling to.

You saw
a terrible situation.

You tried to improve it.

Cling to that.

What if we get sued
for malpractice?

You think about that?

By a murderer?

Yes, I'm sure the jury
will award huge damages.

Maybe we can suppress
the tape as hearsay.

I doubt it.

Declaration
against interests,

maybe even res gestae.
It'll get in.

What were you thinking
anyway?

-Lindsay --
-Don't "Lindsay" me.

What, you're going
to attack me now?

Yes, Bobby because that was
a stupid thing to do.

I'm not going to listen.

You know Helen retrieves
my messages for me

ever since
I've been sleeping here.

I call her to get them

because I can't call
in myself...

Oh, my god.

You know Helen retrieves
my messages for me.

That phone call
was for Helen.

You don't know
what you're talking about.

Bobby Donnell --

Lindsay,
just read your book.
