Why won't she tell us
what it's about?

I have no idea.

Have we broken any rules
or anything?

Oh, not that I'm aware of.

I've never even appeared
before this judge.

Neither have I.
(door opens)

Sorry to keep you waiting,
gentlemen.

Thank you for coming.

I'll, uh, skip the pleasantries
and get right to it.

Lawrence O'Malley.

You've heard of him.

We read the papers.

Excellent.
Then you're halfway up to speed.

You obviously know he thinks
he's Hannibal Lecter.

Tomorrow's papers
will be covering his need

for new counsel,

which is where you come in.

You're it.

I beg your pardon?

COOKE: His lawyer fell out.

There will be no continuance
for Mr. O'Malley.

The trial will start

the day after tomorrow,

which means I need seasoned
criminal-defense attorneys

who can jump in--
Hold on a second.

COOKE: The files are being
delivered to your office

as we speak.
You can't just assign us--

COOKE: What you need to know
about the judge, Mr. Donnell,

is that she doesn't like
to be interrupted.

The trial starts on Tuesday.

You will be his lawyer.

In fact, I'm assigning
your entire firm to it

to ensure the bastard
doesn't have

any inadequate
counsel appeals.

What about our other cases?

We have--
I'll write you a note.

Sorry to do this, boys,

but your reputation
speaks for itself.

I need good lawyers
who can jump in on a dime.

What happened
to his other lawyer?

There was a conflict.

Your client bit off
his nose.

(music playing)

The whole firm?

Who is this judge?

Look, let's not waste time
talking about the judge.

It is what it is. We have
to get ready for the trial.

Starting Tuesday?

DONNELL: Helen Gamble is the
D. A., so we at least don't need

scouting reports
on the prosecution.

Eugene and I will meet
with the client tonight.

Ellenor, I need you and Bec
to meet with psychiatrists

first thing in the morning.

So we're going insanity?

DONNELL: Yes. Lindsay,
I'd like you and Jimmy

to meet with his former lawyer.

He's at Mass General
in good condition.

BERLUTI: The guy really thinks
he's Hannibal Lecter?

That seems to be the question.

The prosecution thinks
he's faking.

Eugene, we should go.

He's shackled,
straitjacket, muzzled.

I think you'll be okay.

Has he been fed?

Is that a joke?

We don't find your guy
too funny, counsel.

You want a guard
in there or not?

Up to you.

No. We'll be okay.

(music playing)

I'm Bobby Donnell,
this is Eugene Young,

appointed by the court
to represent you.

The judge refused
to continue the case.

She evidently didn't want
to reward you

for biting off body parts.

That means we go
day after tomorrow,

which means we
have a lot to do.

We're going to need
your full cooperation.

What's your name?

Did you miss the part
about full cooperation?

What's your name?

My name is listed

in the indictment.

I assume the question
is designed to elicit

what I think my name is

to give you some sense
of whether I'm sane.

I suggest you take it up
with the doctors.

All right. Look,
let's not waste time with you

trying to prove
you're smarter than me.

You're in prison, I'm not.

You're sitting there shackled,

wearing a muzzle, I'm not.

You're the one who could be
spending the rest of his life

in prison.

Do you know your name?

Lean in closer.

Just tell me.

My name is Hannibal Lecter.

You plan to argue insanity?

DONNELL: You murdered
and ate three people,

Mr. Lecter.

Insanity seems to be
our best bet.

I didn't kill them.

The other man killed them.

What other man?

What other man?

The doctors think basically

he created this man
in his head

for the murders themselves.

He's never denied

consuming the victims,

but it's always
the other persona

who stabbed the girls.

What's the diagnosis?

It's all over the map.

One of my doctors says,
paranoid schizophrenia,

another says,
psychotic disorder.

The prosecution experts say,

he's faking it,

that he stabbed the girls

and he ate them to give himself
an insanity defense,

should he ever get caught.

BERLUTI: It would convince me.

What do you think?

Look, to do what he's done,

obviously there's some severe

mental deficit here.

Is he criminally insane?

Did he not understand that
what he was doing was wrong?

I don't know.

All I am sure of,

he's as crazy as he may be.

He is not stupid.

Don't ever think

you're in charge of him,
Ms. Dole.

I promise you,

he'll be in control of you.

FRUTT: One of the psychiatrists
had him take a polygraph

He passed.

Said he was Hannibal Lecter,
said another guy

killed the girls.

He passed the lie detector

with flying colors.

He could also describe
the killings.

It was basically like
he stepped outside of himself

and was watching somebody
else do it.

And then he would step back
into himself to...

Eat them.

DOLE: And the police think
he's faking because?

EUGENE: He has a 9:00
to 5:00 job.

He punches in every day
as Lawrence O'Malley,

pays his bills on time.

Are they offering anything?

Life in prison.

The client turned it down.
I guess he's not that crazy.

FRUTT: So what?
Are we all gonna try this?

Lindsay, I'd like you to open.

Women victims,
let's put a woman

on the face of our defense.

Jimmy, you take the lawyer.

We're gonna call him?

DONNELL: Probably first.

Ellenor, Bec,
you got the doctors.

Eugene and I will take
the prosecution witnesses.

HATCHER: Bobby, a Mr. and Mrs.
O'Malley are here.

DONNELL: Who?

Hannibal's parents.

He would make up
fictitious characters

and assume their identities.

I think it made him
feel stronger.

He started pretending
he was Hannibal Lecter

about 10 years ago shortly
after the movie came out,

probably so that...

he could feel dangerous.

And at some point,

he really thought he was.

MICHAEL: Mr. Donnell,

Lawrence would never do

these things.

We want you to hear that
from his parents.

This is some sort of insanity,

but Lawrence,

he is not a killer.

He took his knife

and he gutted her

like he was...

cleaning a fish.

MAN (on TV): Who did?

The other man.

She didn't die right away.

DONNELL: Okay Look,

we have to make a decision here
on the restraints.

He's gonna look
like a monster

if he's shackled and muzzled.

I'm not sitting next to him.

He attacked
his last lawyer, Bobby.

DONNELL: We can petition
the court to keep him

out of the room.

WASHINGTON: And I say
let him look like a monster.

Our strategy here isn't to make
him feel relatable.

Juries don't acquit
monsters, Rebecca.

First thing they teach us
in law school,

monsters lose.

(overlapping chatter)

GAMBLE: Anybody
who would take the lives

of three young women

then cannibalize them

has to have a little
insanity going on.

But did Mr. O'Malley

understand the nature
and quality

of his acts?

Did he know

what he was doing was wrong?

Of course he did.

Ladies and gentlemen,
the evidence will show

he tried to conceal his crimes.

He tried to avoid
getting caught.

Why?

Because he knew it was wrong.

This man acted knowingly,

reflectively,

and methodically.

He'd go to the same bar,

select a victim,

hit on her,

then when rebuffed,

follow her,

abduct her,

stab her to death,

then eat her.

DOLE: None of us can fathom

what must be happening

in Lawrence O'Malley's brain.

To fillet three women

with a knife,

to consume them.

This is not
how sane people behave.

As this trial goes forward,

you're gonna look at this man
sitting over there

and probably
wonder to yourselves

whether he's even human.

You might look at me

and the other lawyers
defending him

and have questions
about our humanity.

How can we defend
such a monster?

Well, our judicial system

is about many things.

What it's first
and foremost about

is protecting society's weakest

and most vulnerable members.

Lawrence O'Malley is severely,

severely mentally ill.

The evidence we present to you

will establish
this convincingly.

You'll want to ignore it

because you're human.

Your sympathy for the victims,

your hatred for our client

will make you want
to ignore or deny

what the doctors tell you.

But as jurors,
you have an obligation

to weigh the evidence.

That's your duty.

That's why you're here.

And the evidence will tell you,

Lawrence O'Malley is insane.

(music playing)

DETECTIVE: We'd had
so many complaints

about how bad the house smelled,

we finally sent
an officer out there.

He took one step inside

and recognized the odor

to be decomposing remains.

We obtained a search warrant,
went to the premises,

and quickly found
three bodies in the basement

in different stages
of decomposition.

Was anybody else there,
detective?

The defendant.

He kept saying,
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

That's pretty much all he said
at the house.

"I'm sorry."

GAMBLE: Now, and you said
the bodies

were in different stages.

DETECTIVE:
One was basically skeletal.

The other two were carcasses.

It was extremely gruesome.

Detective,

did you find anything else?

There was a freezer

which contained frozen meat,

human meat.

GAMBLE: Now, you later
interrogated Mr. O'Malley

at the police station,
did you not?

DETECTIVE: Yes, where he
described each of the killings

in detail.

According to the coroner,

the descriptions were accurate.

Thank you, detective.

You asked my client his name?

DETECTIVE: Yes.

What did he tell you?

He said his name
was Hannibal Lecter.

Did he say
he killed the women?

DETECTIVE: No.
He claims he witnessed

the other man do it.

He just...

called him the other man.

The same other man
for all three murders?

DETECTIVE: Yes.

Did he describe the other man?

Yes.

The description he gave

pretty much matched himself.

He would be at the bar
three nights a week, easy.

Do you specifically remember

the defendant?

MR. WILLIAMS: Oh, yes. He was
too weird not to remember.

I served him many nights,
and I never heard him speak.

Did you ever see him speak?

MR. WILLIAMS: To women I did.

He was always trying
to talk up women.

I never saw him
have success.

Did you ever see
Mr. O'Malley

talk to any of these women?

I know I saw him talking
to the first girl,

and I remember the look
on her face.

It was like,
"Get this kook away from me."

DONNELL: You used the words
strange, weird, kook,

based on your observations
of my client, Mr. Williams,

he seemed nuts?
GAMBLE: Objection.

Lay opinion.
I'll allow it.

You may answer.

He seemed very nuts.

DONNELL: And he would come in
three nights a week

on average?

Yes.

He would, uh, try to talk

to women sometimes.

Other nights he'd just sit
at the bar,

sometimes motionless

like he was in this trance,

just staring straight ahead.

Uh, the guy wasn't right.

We don't need that.

Scaring the jury
doesn't help us here, Lawrence.

Just sit there
and be a passive monster.

Can you do that, please?

All right, look,
the facts are pretty much in.

The rest of the trial
goes to the insanity issue.

The big decision for us
is whether or not

to let you testify.

EUGENE: We'd like
to put you up there,

but we can't,
if we think you'll strike

terror in people.

Hmm.

(door opens)

Forbes is here.

Jimmy's prepping him.

DONNELL: Okay.

We'll lead with him

and then go with the doctors.

I'd like to talk to her,
please.

Who?

Her, my attorney.

The one who delivered
the eloquent opening about me

being one of society's most...

vulnerable members.

Please...

sit.

(music playing)

Hello, Clarissa.
Oh, brother.

LAWRENCE:
Could you leave, Bobby?

I'd like to speak
with Clarissa alone.

I'm not Clarissa, Lawrence.

Jodie Foster
wasn't even Clarissa.

She was Clarice,

and even she's not
Clarice anymore.

Do they know?

Does Bobby know?

Does he know what?

That you're in love with me.

I think he might be faking.

Hannibal Lecter,
isn't that a little too pat?

We'll let the prosecution
argue that.

Experts ready?

Oh, they're ready
and convincing.

They don't think
he's faking at all.

EUGENE: Jimmy?

Forbes is set.

What about the muzzle?

I think it should come off.

DONNELL: We'll take
the muzzle off

when he testifies.

We need to get back.

He kept talking
about the other man,

how he watched
the other man stab them.

I would gently remind him,
"Lawrence,

there was no other man.

The other man is you."

He never liked that.

He'd ask me to please not say

he was the killer.

Mr. Forbes,
why did you remind him?

FORBES: Well,
we were about to start trial.

I had to prepare him
for things

he was gonna hear
from his own doctors even.

But he just didn't like
hearing that,

that he was the killer.

Friday night,

I reminded him again,

and that was it.

What happened?

He just lunged

like a Rottweiler.

He had me by the nose.

In the course of your
representation of Mr. O'Malley,

what can you tell us
about his mental--

Objection.
He is trying to admit

medical opinions again.

BERLUTI: No, a lay opinion.

GAMBLE: Your Honor,
I will stipulate

the lay opinion
of Mr. O'Malley is he's crazy.

But this witness
has no foundation

to present testimony

on the issue
of legal insanity

as it relates to this trial.

I'm going to agree.

The witness may speak
to the defendant's behavior,

but leave the psychiatric
opinions to the doctors.

Mr. O'Malley,

please take your seat.

Mr. O'Malley--
Your Honor,

at this time I'd ask

that the district attorney
be disqualified.

Why?

She and I have had relations.

It was one of those moments
where time

just seemed to freeze.

Even Helen Gamble herself

seemed momentarily paralyzed.

GAMBLE: Such crap. Well,
what do they expect me to do,

jump up and react?
Stupid media.

Helen, I know we agreed

to never talk shop at home,

but you really should put
something on the table.

It was a stunt, Ellenor,
and you know it.

"Hey, everybody,
look how insane I am."

FRUTT: Could be,

but not many people eat flesh.

The jury's got to think
he's nuts.

Jurors are human.

At their core,
they're vengeful.

I think
you're projecting there.

And when they go back
to deliberate

about what he did
to those women,

compassion won't be winning out.

MAN (on TV): Tomorrow,
the case turns to the doctors,

where both sides
have their experts lined up.

The base illness
is paranoid schizophrenia.

The fixed false belief

is that he's Hannibal Lecter.

FRUTT: And, doctor,
does paranoid schizophrenia

make a person homicidal?

Well, there are no norms.

It doesn't necessarily
make a person dangerous.

It seems with Mr. O'Malley

that when he kills,
he experiences

a psychotic break

from his other reality.

You lost me there.

WOMAN: He becomes
somebody else altogether

when he kills,
the other person.

Then he goes back
to being Mr. Lecter.

Basically, he suffers
from paranoid schizophrenia

always,

and he suffers
from periodic psychosis

on top of that.

GAMBLE: Or he's faking.

WOMAN: I don't believe
he could feign

these kinds of symptoms,
Ms. Gamble.

GAMBLE: Well, doctor,
have you ever known a person

to feign schizophrenia
or psychosis?

Successfully,

it would be extremely rare.

But it can be done

and in my medical opinion,

Mr. O'Malley is doing it here.

Why do you think so?

MAN: Well, for starters,

he's completely functional
as Lawrence O'Malley.

He goes to work,

performs competently there.

None of his co-workers
have ever seen

a sign of Hannibal Lecter.

Well, could he
just be covering it up?

Sure, but why?

If he has no compunction
about being Hannibal Lecter

with the police,

why would he cover it up
with others?

(music playing)

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

How many times
do I have to say it?

The guy was looking right at me.

BERLUTI: Look,
it didn't hurt us.

It's not like
we're pretending he's nice.

No, but it doesn't help
if it seems

even we're afraid of him.
WASHINGTON: Oh, come on.

He's tied up
like a rabid dog.

Everyone in that room
is afraid of him.

FRUTT: The problem is
if they think of him as a dog,

crazy or not, they're gonna
wanna put him to sleep.

He has to be
a little sympathetic.

Does he understand that?

I've told him over and over.

I think Lindsay
should take his direct.

Me? You take him.

EUGENE: Look, in a way,
you represent the victims.

Exactly.

EUGENE: He also seems
to be softer with you

than he is with Bobby or me.

Have Jimmy take him. He's good
at bringing out soft sides.

Look, any one of us
could do it.

You'll be the most effective.

His best chance
to be sympathetic is you.

DONNELL: Hey,

you okay?

Yeah.

I can take the direct.

I'm fine.

He really scared you,
didn't he?

The way he looked at me.

I'll tell you this, Bobby,

he's not faking.

I looked into those eyes.

They were the eyes
of insanity.

I may not be a doctor,
but I saw it.

That man is truly crazy.

DOLE: Did you not hear
my question?

Did you know
these women?

I'd met them.

I can't lay claim
to knowing them.

DOLE: You met them
at Hannigan's?

LAWRENCE: Yes,
they weren't particularly

kind to me.

DOLE: Can you tell the court
how you happened

to see them get killed?

Well, on each occasion,

I followed them,

and in the parking lot,

I saw them get abducted
by the other man.

Could you describe
this other man?

LAWRENCE: I never got
a very good look at his face.

He was about 6 feet tall,

lanky.

DOLE: And he abducted
these women

in the parking lot?

Yes. He dragged them
into his car.

I think they liked him,

but for some reason,

they didn't want to go with him.

Okay. And what did you do?

LAWRENCE: I followed.

He drove them
to an abandoned pier

on the harbor,

and he would stab them there

and drive off.

I tried to help

each of them,
but I was always too late.

They were dead.

There was nothing
to be done.

So I ate them.

How did these women end up

in your basement,
Mr. O'Malley?

I drove them there
from the pier.

And, sir,
can you tell the court

why you would eat
these women?

Because they were so beautiful.

Like you.

The book of Genesis tells us

that woman...

came from man.

When man consumes the woman,

it makes him one with her.

And by eating them,

I know they will go to heaven.

Because I am going
to heaven,

then they will go with me.

You'll be going to heaven,

Clarice.

(music playing)

You think my name
is Clarice?

That's all I have.

What did the other man do
with the knife?

I don't know.

Funny how it never turned up,

like it was hidden
or disposed of carefully.

The other man really knew
what he was doing, I guess.

You sucked my fluids
to make me one with you.

How come you never told your
co-workers your real name?

You went to work every day
as Lawrence O'Malley.

You did your job
as Lawrence O'Malley,

collected your paychecks,

paid your income taxes.

You did everything

as Lawrence O'Malley.

Why didn't you tell people
you were really Hannibal Lecter?

It makes it difficult
to invite somebody

over for dinner.

That's clever.

Would you have sexually engaged
with me

had you known
my true identity?

GAMBLE: When you saw
these women murdered

by this other man,

why not go to the police?

I was afraid of being a suspect

since I was there.

GAMBLE: You could have prevented
other women

from being killed.

Surely, you have a conscience,
or do you?

By the time I realized
he was a serial killer,

bodies were in my basement.

I didn't know what to do.

So you just let women continue
to be murdered?

I am trying to help now.

Oh, you're helping now?

Yes. I gave the police
a partial description.

I told them where he kills.

Instead of persecuting me,

you should be looking for him,

especially since...

Since what?

He's planning to kill Clarice.

(overlapping chatter)

(crowd clamoring)

You okay?

Fine.

I thought your direct
went great.

Good to hear.

I don't want to win
this case.

I don't want him going
to state mental facility

that he'll be able
to break out of in a week

Okay.
No!

I went through this
with Hinks.

I don't wanna go
through it again.

I don't wanna win this case.

You should go in there.

Eugene, can I see you
for a second?

This could be nothing.

YOUNG: What?

Jeannie Tanner
is a friend of mine.

She works at the Coroner's
office in Suffolk.

There's an unsolved murder.

Happened seven weeks ago.

28-year-old woman

stabbed to death,

found behind the Marriott.

Last seen alive
at Hannigan's bar.

Seven weeks ago?

Lawrence O'Malley
was in custody.

YOUNG: It's exculpatory evidence

and they held it.

GAMBLE: This is not exculpatory.

It has nothing to do
with the case.

YOUNG: A woman stabbed.

Seen at Hannigan's bar.
Come on.

This was a robbery victim.

The woman was stabbed once.

We should have been told
about it, Helen.

GAMBLE: The state has
no obligation

to inform the defense
of every other homicide.

FRUTT: Oh, please!

This one either fits
the pattern

or comes damn close.
I don't agree.

COOKE: Come on, Ms. Gamble.

It's close enough.

But, counsel,
explain to me the harm.

We may have had another
defense available.

Which is?

YOUNG: Somebody else
is killing these women.

Oh, come on!

My client has always maintained

the other man killed
these girls.

We now have knowledge
of the other man.

You've got to be kidding.

YOUNG: Your Honor...

we should at least be allowed

to change our plea
and argue the elements.

In addition we--
First of all, this is absurd.

Second,
you can't just change a plea.

YOUNG: We got stuck
with this case on Sunday.

Sunday.

Now we find out
the prosecution knew

of another murder
that fits the pattern.

At the very least,
we should be able

to change our plea.

It means one extra witness
on this other killing,

it doesn't inconvenience
the court,

and to deny us this,

you just guarantee
my client an appeal.

Okay.

I'll let you plead
in the alternative--

GAMBLE: I don't believe this.

Ms. Gamble,

you should have revealed
that other murder.

Be glad I don't find misconduct.

How is she doing?

DONNELL: She's okay.

She's a little--

she's okay.

DOLE: I am not okay.

Lindsay.

What's wrong with you?

I'm not okay.

Somebody can beat you
half to death,

and you can go back
to being okay the next day.

You're always okay.

Bobby's okay.

That's how you handle things.

You're okay.

Please don't embarrass me
like that

in front of the office.

Please don't embarrass you?

I got stabbed two years ago.

I got stabbed, Bobby.

A man stuck a knife
into me three times.

I almost died.

And then Hinks stalked me.

I'm not okay.

I have never gone back
to being okay,

no matter how much
that you insist that I have.

I'm just--I'm not okay.

(sobbing)

YOUNG: The cause of death
was stabbing?

That's correct.

YOUNG: And the victim,
Jill Hanover,

was at Hannigan's bar
the night she was killed?

Yes.

YOUNG: Found in an alley
off of Commercial Street

by the harbor,

is that right, detective?

Yes.
YOUNG: And Miss Hanover

was killed on March 26th?

Yes.

YOUNG: And do you have
any leads or suspects

at this time, detective,

relating to this murder?

No, we do not.

Is this killing related
to the three murders

which are the subject
of this trial?

We don't believe so.

GAMBLE: Why not?

Well, Miss Hanover
was stabbed once in the neck.

The other girls
were stabbed multiple times

in the abdomen
and the sternum.

A different knife was used
for Miss Hanover.

The body was also dumped
in an alley

as opposed to being transported
to a basement and consumed.

Miss Hanover
was African-American

and overweight.

These other three victims
were white

with conventionally
attractive figures.

We determined that she
was simply a robbery victim

and that her death
was completely unrelated

to the other three.

Can you prove that, detective?

McGUIRE: Obviously,
we can't prove anything

until we catch
this other suspect.

The other suspect?

MAN: Any chance of calling
other suspects?

(overlapping chatter)

Okay.

Just argue in the alternative,
insanity,

and the possibility
there really is another man.

DONNELL: All right, look,
we have two theories.

They're mutually exclusive,
but the law permits us

to present alternative defenses.

It's risky,
but it's in our interest

to do so here.

Where is Clarice?

Never mind.

Is she all right?

I'm right here.

I'm sorry I frightened you.

If anything ever happened
to you,

you know I'd make sure
you go to heaven.

Hey!

Shut your mouth!

I don't want you talking
to her anymore, you got that?

(music playing)

The fact that
they have thrown in

this 11th-hour theory,

maybe somebody else did it.

That evidence shows
the desperation of the defense,

ladies and gentlemen.

First, he's Hannibal Lecter.

Then, zip,
throw in a psychotic break.

Then, what the hell,

why not let's say
it was another man

after all?

Lawrence O'Malley
brutally stabbed three women

who rejected his advances
at a bar.

It is that simple.

Maybe he is really crazy enough
to eat human flesh,

but we don't let murderers go

because they consume
their victims.

This is a competent,

highly functional man

who went to work every day,

lived a rather normal life,

never flashed Hannibal

or insanity to anybody.

And here...

we see him flashing it

at every turn.

Suddenly, he's standing up
saying he and I had sex.

He's calling his attorney
Clarice.

He bites off a lawyer's nose.

So many sudden acts of insanity

after 40 years without a sign.

It's a little convenient,
don't you think?

He's trying to feign
legal insanity

to get away with his murders.

Three doctors who examined him

testified he's faking.

And he's hoping
you fall for it.

But just in case you don't,

maybe another man did it
after all.

Worth a shot.

He's been laughing at us
this entire trial.

Please...

don't give him
the last laugh.

We put up three doctors

who said he wasn't faking.

They believe he's insane,

a base illness
of paranoid schizophrenia

coupled with psychotic breaks.

You heard
the experts' testimony.

And now we learn
another woman was killed

leaving Hannigan's bar,

killed while Lawrence O'Malley
was in custody.

The police think it's unrelated,

but can they prove it?

You heard Detective McGuire.
They cant.

The state hasn't met
its burden here.

And as a matter of law,

you must acquit.

Ms. Gamble, rebuttal.

YOUNG: Hold on, Your Honor.

We're doing our closing
in tandem.

Mr. Donnell took the first part.

Very well.

YOUNG: The most outstanding
question concerns the 12 of you.

We have a man sitting here
clearly psychotic.

We know he eats people.

He quite possibly kills them.

Nobody...

nobody likes the idea of him
being anywhere

except in a maximum-security
prison.

But we all have
our duties here.

They prosecute, we defend,

and you...

you determine whether guilt
was proven

beyond all reasonable doubt.

The 12 of you
have the nastiest job of all.

Because to execute your duty,

you have to find this man

not guilty,

which, of course,
you don't want to do,

but you must.

The expert testimony
was a wash at best.

They put up doctors
to say he's faking.

We put up just as many

to say the schizophrenia
was real

as was the psychosis.

On the insanity,

there's no escaping doubt

with all the conflicting
opinions.

And as for the other man,

well...

there was another man

who stabbed a girl

leaving Hannigan's bar.

It happened while
Lawrence O'Malley

was in custody.

That means it's possible,

possible things happened

just as Mr. O'Malley claimed.

He followed these girls out
of the bar.

He saw another man
abduct them.

He saw another man stab them,

drive off before...

Mr. O'Malley took the bodies

back to his basement.

And this isn't some
11th-hour theory

we're throwing out
in desperation,

by the way.

The police knew
about this other murder,

and they never told us.

And we must ask ourselves,

"Why?"

Why didn't they tell us?

You've got reasonable doubt
on the insanity.

You've got reasonable doubt
on the killings themselves.

Two very big questions.

The third question,

the biggest.

Are the 12 of you

going to stay true to your oath

and uphold the law?

HATCHER: How'd it go?

WASHINGTON: Jury's got it.

YOUNG: If you didn't want
to close,

why didn't you just say so,
Bobby?

My closing was--

YOUNG: You folded in.
You stood up there--

Back up, Eugene.

Nobody closes like you can,

and that was half-assed
by the numbers.

I said, back up.

All right. Cut it out.
We don't need this.

YOUNG: Look, I don't want
that guy on the street either.

That's not what this is about.

We have a job to do.

Everybody in this room
did their job, even Lindsay.

It was your job
to deliver your best, Bobby,

and you were up and down
in 30 seconds.

What are we?

Huh?

Some clients we try
our hardest for,

others we pull back?

What in the hell are we?

(music playing)

I don't disagree,

but it's his wife, Eugene.

Maybe you don't have
to excuse him because of that.

But I would think
you could understand.

DONNELL: The clerk's office
just called.

They have a verdict.

The defendant will please rise.

Mr. Foreman, the jury
has a unanimous verdict?

Yes, Your Honor.

What say you?

Commonwealth vs.
Lawrence O'Malley

on three counts of murder
in the first degree,

we find the defendant,
Lawrence O'Malley,

not guilty.

(overlapping chatter)

FOREMAN: On three counts
of murder in the second degree,

we find the defendant,
Lawrence O'Malley,

not guilty.

(overlapping chatter)

Straight not guilty?

GAMBLE: Your Honor,
The Commonwealth seeks

to place the defendant
under arrest

for concealing
and consuming human bodies.

Crimes which--
YOUNG: Hold on.

My client was only charged
with murder.

These crimes would be lesser
included offenses.

Double jeopardy would attach.

I agree.

You can't now arrest him
for lesser includeds,

Ms. Gamble.

The defendant has been found
not guilty.

He is free to go.

Please release him
from the restraints.

GAMBLE: Your Honor,
this man is clearly dangerous.

COOKE: Ms. Gamble,
he's been acquitted.

He's free to go.

We're adjourned.

(gavel bangs)

Thank you, Bobby.

Eugene, you were sensational.

Clarice.

(music playing)

REPORTER: Mr. O'Malley,

were you surprised
by the verdict?

LAWRENCE: No, not at all.

(overlapping chatter)

MELANIE (over TV):
To say the least. I mean,

it was--it was
a bit intimidating.

I'm glad it's over.

It wasn't that we thought
he was innocent.

In fact, we all figured him
to be guilty.

We just couldn't get there
beyond reasonable doubt,

not with that other murder.

I'm sorry.

I think it's the way
I handle things.

If I can pretend I'm okay,
then--

so I--

but, Lindsay...

it's not just me.

You never talk about
how you feel.

You keep it all in
until you just explode.

It isn't just me here.

I know.

We both need to do better,
Bobby...

or you and I...

we won't make it.

We won't.

DONNELL: Next on The Practice.

What about using me?

DONNELL:
You will not be used as bait

for a serial killer.

GAMBLE: I need you to testify
against him

to help convince
the judge he's nuts.

MAN: Mr. O'Malley,
you need to come with us please.

Do you remember me, Hannibal?

DOLE: He's a cannibal
and he has made it clear

that he is coming after me.

Rape witness bout to be shaky.

At probable cause
she was pretty convincing.

Third strike, Jerry.

If convicted, you get life.

I got a twin brother.

He gonna pay you a visit.

BERLUTI: We can't put somebody
up there

to commit perjury, Dr. Cochran.

I won't be committing perjury.

We're not going to call you.
Why?

YOUNG: Because if it looks like
you're lying which it will,

that'll hurt him.

(music playing)

WOMAN: You stinker!
