Previously, on The Practice.

What?

There's a head in the bag.

The woman I met at the bar last night. What are you doing with her head?

Somebody put it in there.

George Vogelman, you are under arrest for the murder of Susan Robin.

The guy who killed your girlfriend is not George Vogelman. Part of their case

the notion that Susan could never have gone off on someone nighter.

Can you think of anything that could explain why she would?

I had been a little unfaithful to Susan.

As I said to your dad, I'm convinced they got the wrong guy. That means that

this thing was either a mission to frame George Volkman or somebody was after

your sister. Is it possible that your sister could have kept some part of her

life secret?

She did spend a lot of time on the Internet.

Your guy was last seen with her. He had her head. If George Volkman didn't do

it, he certainly represents reasonable doubt for whoever did.

What did you say?

They're not going to reopen the investigation.

I don't give orders to the police on how to investigate their case. I'm asking

you to order them to investigate, period.

Well, I can't order them to keep looking if they're convinced they have the

killer. If their thinking is suspect, we have the device to deal with that.

We call it the trial.

Jay, I really appreciate your willingness to testify.

I'm not going to be that much help, Ms. Frett.

Can't say I think your client is innocent.

I know, but you are the only one who can supply a possible reason why your

girlfriend would have gone to a motel with George Vogelman.

I'm not crazy about helping the guy who killed my sister.

All we're asking is that you talk about the Internet thing.

I can't. Dr. Roberts, you know George Vogelman better than anybody.

But I wouldn't be able to say that I truly know him.

I see him at work. I...

Look, his being arrested for this crime, it's hurt the whole office.

I really don't want to step into a witness chair and associate our medical

corporation with any... He was an usher at your wedding.

And I couldn't imagine him doing what they're accusing him of.

But nor could I imagine his taste for pornography or his going home from bars

with strangers.

Ed backed... All I could testify to is that I thought I knew him.

Even his friends have pulled away.

What have you got?

No history of violence, reputation for honesty, came forward on his own

volition. Loner.

Advertises in the personal.

Likes poor enough. Keeps to himself.

All right.

How many friends or associates you talk to? A dozen, maybe more. Anybody say

they really knew the guy? I mean, completely?

No.

Great. Okay, this is what I think.

They go to the motel, then this woman rejected him at the wrong time. Maybe he

felt sexually humiliated or whatever.

This is the ultimate ridicule. And then he snapped.

Chopped off her head. Now, what's he gonna do?

He's got no chance of getting away with it. He's got a better shot at making it

look like he was framed. So he sticks her head in his medical bag and the big

show begins.

Loner. Foot doctor. He did it. Got mad, lost his head.

The loner. Is that it?

Anything else?

There's no death penalty in Massachusetts, right?

Keep your head up, George.

Don't be shaking it. No, no, no. Just keep your head up.

They're going to tell their story, and then we're going to get to tell ours.

Okay.

Bathroom, anybody need to go?

All set.

I went.

Okay.

Last seen with her.

Her severed head was in his possession.

Her blood was in his car.

As our case will show, there is not one piece, not one piece of physical or

testimonial evidence that points to anybody other than George Vogelman.

because George Vogelman gruesomely, hideously murdered Susan Robin.

It's not even a question.

Sometimes how things look are not how they are.

And there's a reason we bother with the trial.

All we ask is that you be objective and you pay close attention to everything

you hear.

Mr. Tisbury.

Commonwealth calls Helen Gamble to the stand.

His attorneys called and asked me to come down to their offices.

Why did they call you, Ms. Gamble? One of the attorneys there is my roommate,

another one I've dated.

So they figured in you they'd get a sympathetic district attorney.

I don't think they were expecting special treatment. They wanted to

client and hoped I could help them do it quietly.

Did they tell you any details about the case?

No, they simply asked me to come to the offices. They said it was serious.

So you went? Yeah.

And what happened after you got there?

They took me into a room and informed me that their client had a human head in

his medical bag.

How did you respond?

I thought they were joking.

Then they pointed to the bag.

Is this the bag?

Yes. Mark and identify, Your Honor.

Marked. Exhibit 1.

And what happened next, Ms. Gamble? They asked me to look in the bag.

And did you? Yes.

And what did you see?

A human head.

Now, Miss Gamble, if I could... You've got to be kidding me.

Objection!

Counsel, is what's in that cooler what I think it is? Chain of custody, Your

Honor. I object to that! In chambers, counsel.

Members of the jury, ten minutes.

Let's go.

Just bringing that thing in is grounds for a mistrial. You want a mistrial on

the first witness, Eleanor? That's a stunt to inflame the jury.

Would it be all right if I talk?

It better be good. Your Honor, the fact that this is so grotesque, it's

relevant. How?

He had it in his bag.

Anybody who could carry something like that around, it's evidence of the kind

psychotic mind that goes with the very crime.

First of all, he didn't know it was in his bag. Even under your theory, he

didn't do it. He knowingly had it in his bag for more than three hours before he

called. Because he panicked. You make your arguments, I'll make mine. Your

Honor, they'll be saying he behaved like an innocent man. As soon as he saw it,

he called the police. Well, that's not what he did.

He carried it back to his car, drove to his lawyer's office, carried it up the

elevator. You can introduce all that without bringing the head into court. He

wants to horrify the jury, Your Honor. I maintain that's relevant. A reasonable

person would be horrified. A reasonable person would repulse and not even

approach the bag again, much less pack it up, go to the car. Counsel. It's

legitimate for the jury to experience some of the horror so they can assess

what's a reasonable reaction under the circumstances.

The head is inadmissible.

I want him sanctioned in open court, Your Honor. The cooler alone... Why

you just be satisfied with my ruling and leave it there?

That's just ice settling.

He then gave me the address of the motel that he and the victim had gone to.

And did you go there?

Yes, along with Detective McCrew and Attorney Frutt. We went there and

discovered the body.

Mr. Vogelman cooperated at all times, did he not?

Yes, he did.

In fact, the only reason you or the police know a crime had even been

is because Mr. Vogelman came forward.

That's true.

And blood scrapings from the floorboards of his car.

Exact genetic match with the victim.

They seemed friendly at the bar, but there was nothing sexual going on. Did

leave your bar together, sir?

No, he left, and then she left about 10 or 15 minutes later.

My daughter was not a promiscuous woman.

Well, even if she would go to a bar, which I guess she did, I couldn't ever

her going back to a motel with some guy she just met.

Plus... Plus what?

Sorry, but...

He's kind of old and not very good looking.

The only samples in the room belong to the victim or the defendant.

So if somebody else did go in there... It had to be immaculate.

It's happened?

Murders leaving behind no physical evidence whatsoever?

It has happened?

Yes, but the odds of... It's happened? Yes or no, detective?

Yes.

And detective, you're familiar with a serial killer known as the poet?

We don't believe that. The question is, are you familiar with a serial killer

known as the poet?

Yes. Again, yes or no. This person decapitates his victims, yes or no?

Yes.

But you ruled him out.

The poet severs the hands as well and leaves the head behind.

He doesn't take it with him.

It's gone as well as can be expected.

This is going well?

Even I'm beginning to think I'm guilty. Look, everything they put in, we were

ready for.

It's not like they put up some surprise witness that said you've done some

strange things to cats or something.

George, you know what I mean.

We've expected all of this testimony. It's not that it's not damaging, but

haven't been any surprises.

So what now?

We might want to rest.

Rest? Well, think about it. All they've proven is two things. He was with her.

He had her head. Pretty good proof. Ask me. No weapon. No eyewitness. They tied

him to a corpse, not a crime. You can't rest on that. Look, I'm not saying it's

a thing to do, but let's face it. What do we have?

A nice guy?

Maybe we should just say to the jury, hey, we were ready to put on a defense,

but since they didn't make their burden, we don't need to. That is such a risk.

We already spring on the idea of the poet. Internet?

Maybe a stalker? You can't rest. Pretty lame. I don't know.

Eugene, he looked completely guilty. You can't just get up and say they didn't

make their burden. That's stupid.

Well, maybe we could say he involuntarily cut a head off five times.

really funny. I didn't call you stupid. I said it would be stupid to rest. All

right.

Eleanor, what do you think?

Well, I see Eugene's point, but I don't think a jury is going to let him go on a

burden of proof thing.

I think our best defense is George. He's honest, and he plays honest. If George

didn't do it, then who?

It's not our job to answer that question. Well, I realize this, but it's

question I keep asking, and the jury's going to be asking it back in that room.

Hold on, hold on. If I understand your thinking on this, Eleanor, the police

basically stopped looking. That should be your defense.

The only reason we don't know who else, if not George, is because the police

never asked that question.

That's what you have to key on. The guy had her head in his bag. We're going to

put the police on trial for not asking who else?

You guys are playing games.

At the end of the day, he had her head.

That's got nothing to do with any faulty investigation.

He had her head.

So tell us what to do, Einstein.

You know something, Lindsay? You've been bitchy a lot lately.

That's why you can't be playing these indulgences. I agree with Jimmy. I'm a

bitch? On his defense theory, you have to defend George. You can't be attacking

the police.

We got to do both.

We got to put George up, let him be as convincing as he can be, and we got to

open the door to other possibilities.

Excuse me. Hello.

Boyfriend lives alone, brother, big house.

So? So, the murder took place between 1 and 3 a .m. Why weren't they considered?

They were checked out. They're both choir boys.

Yeah, but still, no official alibi if everyone's asleep.

Why not plan B them?

They're going to testify anyway.

What's plan B? It might be worth a try. Give them a soft plan B.

What's plan B?

Talk about a risk.

You got any better ideas?

All right, but first, we have to be sure it won't backfire. Comb every report.

Make sure it's really available. They both gave statements.

Hey, second. You take the point, man. I got the brother.

What the hell is plan B?

Basically, it means we point the finger at other people. It's very dangerous

because normally when the defense starts hatching theories of their own, the

jury can shift the burden back to us, which we definitely do not want.

And when you say soft?

Our soft plan B is we do it more gently. Instead of accusing, it's more like

what -if -ing.

It's less likely to alienate the jury, but it's a risky strategy.

Well, then why do it?

Because we don't have much else to go with.

What?

The things that I've been reading about myself in the papers.

I'm not a big fan of accusing people falsely.

George, this is a murder trial here.

You're the defendant.

First, I want to thank you for testifying, Jay.

And second, I want to convey my sympathy.

You were Susan Robbins' boyfriend?

Yes. And you loved her?

I did.

Jay, we've heard a lot of testimony to the effect that it was uncharacteristic

for Susan to have gone to a bar alone, and especially to a motel with a man she

had just met. Would you agree with that testimony?

Yes. I know this is a difficult question, and I thank you in advance for

honesty.

But you do know of a reason why she may have behaved uncharacteristically that

night, don't you?

A possible reason.

Could you share that with us?

Susan had...

discovered me with another woman the day of her death.

So it could have been she went to a bar and then to a motel with another man out

of hurt?

As a way of lashing back?

I don't think she would do that. I really don't. But I can't exclude the

possibility, no.

Jay, do you have any information on Susan's death? No.

You were home when this happened?

Asleep? Excuse me, Your Honor. Could I confer with counsel one second?

Make it fast.

Jimmy interviewed one of the cops. This guy supposedly was on the phone with the

other woman until two in the morning.

Why wasn't that in the report?

I don't know, but you can't plan B and we'll get clipped.

What about the brother?

Still a shot there.

I hope.

Okay, Jay, that's all I have.

What happened? He had an alibi.

Look, it still went okay. Any idea that you maybe abducted her, we put a dent in

that. These are very small victories, it seems.

Anything new on the brother?

At all?

No.

I'd go... What?

And look like a monster? I will soften it on clothes.

Go for him.

Something about somebody on a chat line.

That's all she said.

Somebody she was having a relationship with on the internet?

She didn't really give details.

My sister and I weren't too close lately.

Why was that?

Well, since my father had become ill, there was a lot of tension.

I had a business that failed and had moved back home. She didn't think that

helping my dad's stress level.

It was just family stuff. The point is, we didn't share a lot of intimate

secrets.

Do you think this stuff, your dad's illness, your business problems, could

have added to your sister's stress level?

I'm sure they did. Maybe caused her to go to a bar just to have a drink, talk

somebody? That I don't know.

You didn't know she'd gone to a bar?

Me? No.

Or to a motel with Mr. Vogelman?

No. How would I have known that?

Well, you'd know if you'd followed her.

What? Did you follow your sister that night?

Objection. Permission to treat this witness as hostile, Your Honor. Your

This witness is the brother of the victim. Permission to treat him as

Go ahead.

This business failure of yours, did you incur any debt? Is there a point of

proof? Sit down, Mr. Tisbury.

How much money did you lose, Steve?

About $300 ,000. You owe this amount to people? I had investors, yes.

Your father, he has liver cancer, isn't that right?

Yes. He was diagnosed with about eight months to live?

Yes. According to his will, if you know, who inherits the estate?

I guess me.

You guess you.

You're the sole beneficiary.

Yes. But if your sister was still alive, then there'd be two beneficiaries,

wouldn't there? What are you saying?

I'm saying that it works out well for you having your sister die before your

dad. What? If you'd outlived him, then your estate goes sideways, maybe split.

Objection! All right.

Mr. Young?

This witness has testified to his estrangement with his sister. He has

to his debt. He is also the only one to serve up the Internet, Red Herring.

Perhaps he uses a safety net in case suspicion ever fell to him.

Don't just strike all of that. I am entitled to question.

this witness go ahead

anybody with you the night

of your sister's murder Steve I was home my father was home were you home before

your father went to bed no when did you get home probably around midnight did he

see you come in he goes to bed at 10

Ever take any medication for depression, Steve?

Objection. Overruled. You ever take any medication for a mental condition,

Steve?

I take lithium.

For depression?

Yes. Did you murder your sister in frame, George Vogelman?

Objection. Did you follow her to the bar and then go to the motel?

Objection. Overruled. It was the perfect opportunity, wasn't it? You could get

George Vogelman's address by running down his place. After he leaves the

you go inside and make yourself a sole beneficiary and then go to plant the

in George's car.

You see the bag and think, ah.

Even better.

Wipe out a debt and sibling rivalry all in a night's work. That's thick.

Did the police ever question you in connection with your sister's death? Of

course they didn't. They never even brought you down for questioning? No,

did not. Maybe you pulled off the perfect crime, Steve.

Objection. That's staying. Maybe you're that good.

Objection. You're drawn.

It's a shame they never checked you out.

Well, the jury either really hates us... Or we created some doubt.

I think you did great.

Eleanor, the kid lost his sister.

I just accused him of killing her meanwhile his dad is dying.

Do not try to make me feel good.

It's possible he could have done it. That's not important. What is, is you're

next.

Okay. George, you've got to just speak the truth from your heart.

If the jury can see you for who you really are, they will have to question

whether you could have done this.

And remember, remember, remember, you cannot say anything that goes to your

character. We cannot open that door. We cannot give them any chance to introduce

those porno videos.

Okay. And don't be afraid to look at the jury.

You've got nothing to hide.

It's in his hands now.

He'll be fine.

You asked us to trust you.

My boy got up because you convinced him to honor the truth.

Mr. Robin, I got an innocent man about to go down for a crime he didn't commit.

You just stole my son's innocence.

You're garbage.

Ow.

Last one.

I can freeze it some more.

It's okay.

Excuse me.

I'm Lucy Hatcher. I have new clothes for him. He's due back in court. Can you

wait outside?

Sure.

Wow. He just bashed your head in for calling his son the killer?

Something like that.

Make sure you tell him to rub vitamin E on. It'll help with the scar.

Thank you.

You know, you really could wait outside.

Sure.

Eleanor says it's a half hour till George.

And when I opened my bag, there it was.

Her head?

Yes. And what did you do next?

First I went into a little shock.

Then I came to you, my lawyer.

And together we went to the police.

Do you know of anybody who would want to incriminate you like this?

No.

George, you have to know how this looks.

Can't you tell us anything?

All I can tell you is I didn't kill this woman.

We made love.

I left, and she was alive.

Why didn't you go back to your place? Why a motel?

My place wasn't very impressive or neat.

You leave a bar after midnight with a woman you just met.

You're worried about neatness?

Yes. So you said, let's go to a motel, and she said yes.

A 23 -year -old beautiful woman. She said, sure.

That's what happened.

And after you made love, why'd you leave? Why not spend the night?

I had a very early morning at work.

Anybody see you leave the motel?

Not that I know of. Anybody you know of who could testify that it's against your

character to kill a person?

Objection. Sustained. Mr. Volgeman, basically, all you have to suggest your

innocence is your word.

Do you have any evidence or witnesses to corroborate your word is worth

anything? Objection, sidebar.

Step up.

He's trying to force us into character testimony so he can backdoor the videos

on impeachment. Any witness who takes the stand puts his truthfulness in

I'm entitled to cross.

Attack him on truthfulness if you want, but don't be asking what witnesses or

evidence he has.

Step back.

Mr. Vogelman, are you married?

No. Girlfriend?

No. Have you ever had a girlfriend?

No. Ever been in any relationship?

I've dated.

You've dated?

How old are you, sir?

43.

43 years old and you've never had a relationship?

Asked and answered.

Sustained. Do you meet women through the personals?

Sometimes I do.

Do you sometimes go to bars, meet women there?

Yes. Ever meet a woman on the Internet?

Ever meet a woman on the Internet, Mr. Vogelman?

Yes. Are you the man Susan Robin met on the Internet?

No. Did she go to that bar to meet you, the man on the Internet?

No. I met her at the bar.

I never communicated with her on the Internet.

Just one last hypothetical, Mr. Vogelman, and then I'll be done.

Say this woman meets a man on the Internet. He maybe oversells himself

little. She agrees to meet him.

She's disappointed.

Rejects him.

And this man, who's been rejected so many times, has finally had enough.

Objection. This is an argument, not a question. Enough is enough. Right,

Objection. Sustained.

Do you... Have any more questions, Mr. Tisbury?

No, Your Honor.

I don't believe I do.

Counsel?

Ms. Frock?

Nothing, Your Honor.

The witness may step down.

I hate to rest on that. Should we redirect?

I don't think so. It could get worse.

Maybe we...

What? I have an idea.

The defense recalls Helen Gamble.

She's right back there.

Ms. Gamble, step up, please.

What are you doing?

Ms. Gamble, please take the stand.

You testified the reason we called you that day is because of your relationship

with our office.

I assumed that was the reason you called me. Well, does our office enjoy a

certain trust with you?

I would think so.

And a candor? Yes. And in the spirit of that candor, did you and I have a

conversation about this case last week?

Objection. Overruled.

Did we talk about this case?

Miss Gamble, did you and I discuss this case?

briefly and generally.

And did you tell me that the police and the DA's office both just wanted a check

solved in the little box next to... Objection!

Overruled. Let me speed things up.

Did you basically tell me that given the publicity, a conviction is desperately

needed here? That if anybody else were charged with this crime, your office

would never get that conviction?

Since George Vogelman having the head in his medical bag would guarantee

reasonable doubt to whoever else was charged?

And because of that, the police and the DA's office, on at least an unconscious

level, might want to believe that George Vogelman is the killer and therefore

not bother to look for anybody else?

Did you share all that with me?

First, I have no direct information on this case.

Second... Please just respond. I am responding. It was a long question,

Your Honor?

She can answer.

I never suggested or even hinted that somebody else besides George Bogleman

committed this crime.

I didn't ask what you thought. And I never suggested that the DA's office

convinced of your client's guilt.

Did you say they might not want to look further? That it's easier to believe

you've got the right guy when there's pressure to get a conviction?

I said sometimes it's been known to happen. I didn't say it happened here.

but you said it's been known to happen in a conversation about this case.

Didn't you?

Again, I have no reason to believe that this particular investigation has been

anything but proper and thorough.

Thank you.

That was a good answer for the team.

Are you suggesting the investigation's tainted?

There was collusion between the police and the DA's office.

What the hell was that, Eleanor?

Ellen, I'm sorry. You just cut my legs out. Sorry?

I tell you something in confidence and you ambush me in open court? I had to

make a choice. I had a duty to my clock. No good.

You screwed me in this office for the last time. I was backed into a... That's

crap.

She's right.

What was I going to do? Tell George, hey, I could have saved you, but...

isn't the only client in this firm. No.

Pearson is. She's right, Eleanor. We need our credibility with every case,

just this one. It's not something I planned to do. But you did it.

We have to rely on relationships with DAs a lot.

Sometimes those off -the -cuff conversations make the difference. You

DA down there is going to want to talk to us again? So I should let George go

down so we can preserve our invites to the Christmas parties?

Yes.

Our dialogue with that office is more important than any one case. I've got to

deal with them on sentencing next week. I'm sure they'll be in great moods to...

Oh, get over your professor, Lindsay. What did you do, sleep with the guy?

Hey, Eleanor. I love it when girls fight. It's better than hockey. Quiet,

Back up, Eleanor. Back up.

You too.

I don't care what the stakes are.

If the DA has an off -the -record conversation with any of us, it stays

record. Otherwise, it's like Lindsay says, we lose our credibility in every

case. Well, tell that to the drowning man that you're more concerned about the

boat. I am not talking to a drowning man, Eleanor.

I am talking to you.

Let's everybody settle down a little.

There's a lot of stakes for a lot of people.

Tearing each other new armpits isn't going to help anybody.

Of course they had to arrest George Vogelman. The victim's head was in his

possession.

I don't blame the police for thinking he did it.

How could they not?

How could you not?

But there's a reason nobody saw him commit the crime.

There's a reason there was no weapon connected to him.

He didn't do it.

Who did?

I don't know. You heard my co -counsel grill Susan Robbins' brother as a

possible suspect.

Well, let me admit a truth.

We don't have any direct evidence to conclude the brother did it. If so, we

certainly would have offered it.

But he did have a motive.

He was estranged from her. His debt, the will, his whereabouts at the time can't

really be accounted for. He could have done it.

The reason we can't know is because the police never really bothered to check

that out. Steve Robbins said himself that they never even questioned him.

Imagine. He has motive, opportunity, no alibi, and they didn't even investigate

him as a possibility.

Why? Because the head was found in George Vogelman's medical bag.

And Jay Hickman?

Susan's boyfriend?

I have no reason to believe that he killed her, but his whereabouts can't be

accounted for either.

Motive? Well, she was with another man in a motel.

There are a lot of questions left unanswered here because the police never

really looked.

You heard District Attorney Helen Gamble admit it's possible they didn't want to

find anybody else because they needed to get a conviction on this. And the head,

being in George Vogelman's bag, he was the only one they could possibly

Easier to stay with him and not complicate it.

Any evidence offered as to George Vogelman's motive?

No. And why, if he is supposedly trying to get away with a crime, does he put

the victim's head in a bag and go to the police with it? Does that make sense?

And let's not forget about the poet, a known serial killer out there in the

Boston area that has an M .O. for decapitating victims.

Has anybody accounted for him?

There are a lot of questions that need answering.

Questions that were never asked or explored because this just seemed so

The head was in his bag.

He must have done it. Well, he didn't.

I have no doubt the prosecution needs that conviction. They surely do. But

are prosecuting the wrong man.

No evidence, not even microscopic, of anybody else being in that room.

Except George Vogelman.

Defense counsel gave us quite a show, didn't they? The brother did it.

No, maybe it was the boyfriend.

How about that serial killer?

Forensics combed that room.

There were saliva samples, fibers from clothing, semen, hair strands,

fingerprints. They didn't go to a serial killer or Susan Robbins' brother or her

boyfriend. They all belonged.

To George Vogelman.

The man who says he went home alone.

The man who sits there with no alibi.

Yes, it was easy to conclude he did it. And on top of all the insurmountable

evidence at the scene, he had the victim's head.

My God, he decapitated a woman. And his lawyers have offered you nothing but

spin as a defense.

Did they put in one piece of physical or testimonial evidence?

Anything at all exculpatory?

No. Just spin.

He did it.

No, he did it. Look there. Over here. Don't forget that police conspiracy.

Collusion with the DA.

And they expect you to let him go?

They're not insulting your intelligence, ladies and gentlemen.

They're assuming you just don't have any.

Got any predictions?

Innocent, guilty, or hung.

How long before... There's no telling.

Eugene?

Could you excuse us a second?

All the evidence is closed, right?

Yeah.

Then I'm going to tell you something.

We both know I've always had some motive to tell you I'm innocent.

It allowed you to let me testify.

It allowed you to, I don't know, try harder.

But now...

The evidence being closed, it doesn't matter what I tell you.

I didn't do it.

When you looked at me a few months ago, you said you believed in me.

But you couldn't fully trust yourself to believe in what you believe.

You can trust yourself, Eleanor.

You've been right all along.

I didn't do it.

You know, in the future, if you're going to hurl a book at someone, it should be

at somebody your own size.

She was about to flatten you.

I'll try to remember that.

And also, I'm a pretty good judge of character.

Eleanor, I think normally she's peaceful.

But when riled, she looks dangerous.

Well, maybe you should tell her that.

You think I'm crazy?

I knew you were there.

I'm sorry what I said about Pearson.

I know.

I'm sorry about the book.

And I'm sorry about my intent to flatten.

I know saying sorry isn't going to cut it for Helen, but... I'll work on her.

You got it.

Verdict.

Will the defendant please rise?

Mr. Foreman, the jury has reached a unanimous verdict. We have.

What say you?

Commonwealth versus George Vogelman on the count of murder in the first degree.

We find the defendant, George Vogelman, not guilty.

I've never heard that.

The defendant is free to go.

What do you think changed the jury for you? What are your plans?

Is it really over?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I don't know really what to say.
