Previously on The Practice.

I had what I would consider to be an extremely erotic dream.

And you were in it.

What do you mean she hit on you? Well, she... While she's the judge on your

case? She was going to recuse herself and then she thought it would have no

effect. Does this just happen?

Women come up to you and tell you that you're in their dream?

Lindsay makes twice my salary?

Well, Eleanor, she brings in a lot of business. Her percentage should be

$242 ,000.

That's my problem. Since when did you take such a strong interest in math,

Eleanor? Certain equations fascinate me. Try adding two plus two. You couldn't

do that with your asbestos client. Is this what happens to women when you

your penis? I'm just curious because they become... Hey!

What's going on, Leonard?

I'm not feeling too good. I need to get a continuance. Oh, God.

Practically getting a contact high off your breath.

Why do you keep defending this guy?

Because I like him.

Because he was my first client ever?

Because he's innocent?

On the count of possession of a controlled substance, we find the

guilty.

The jury is dismissed with the thanks of the court. You did it.

We're adjourned.

It means nothing, Leonard, if you don't get help. Why do you care so much? I'm

just... I like you, Leonard.

It's not every day you get to meet good people.

Yes, I know.

I had a really good time last night.

Me too.

So, do you want to come to the game tonight?

Tonight? Yeah. Cool.

So, I'll call you this afternoon.

Okay.

Between now and then, I'll be missing my little buttercup.

You are the sweetest boy.

What? Leonard?

I think I'm in trouble.

Hold it! Freeze!

Don't move. Let's see your hands! Don't move! Put them right there!

Hands up!

What the hell is going on? Stay back!

Hands up!

What is this?

Stay out of it! What is this?

Nothing. What's that?

I don't know.

How'd it get there?

I don't know.

This your death?

This your death, ma 'am?

Yeah. You don't know how it got there? No.

Please place your hands behind your back. What for? You have the right to

silent. Oh, come on.

You mean my rights? You have the right to an attorney. Yeah, I know my rights.

Is this a joke? How did these drugs get here, ma 'am?

I don't know.

Cut from both.

You, sir, have the right to remain silent.

I will meet you at the arena. Obviously, don't say anything. Leonard, that goes

for you, too. Don't say a word.

All right, let's go.

Ridiculous.

Eugene, you take Eleanor, Rebecca, Leonard, Jimmy, jump in. Bobby, we might

witnesses. We can't represent. What'd you see? I didn't see anything. Lindsay,

Beck, anybody see Leonard dropped his stuff in Eleanor's desk?

Nobody? I think we were all looking at the door. Leonard came running in first

and the police were right behind him.

Hey, get your nose out of there.

Ma 'am.

Ma 'am? You can't search that desk. We've made an arrest.

You can only search the suspect's desk. Anything subject to the suspect's

control. Hey,

hey, hey.

John.

Where'd that come from? Bottom drew under some files.

Looks like they have some dry blood on it. Let me see. Council.

Bag it. Yeah.

God, Lindsay.

You've been provoking her? Lucy!

Bobby?

Your Honor.

What's going on? One of our lawyers just got arrested. Lucy!

Uh, could we talk? In private?

Uh...

Sure. My office.

Lucy.

Okay, Eugene, back, get going. Take Lindsay.

I'd rather take that case.

Never mind. Never mind. Lindsay, go with Eugene.

Get Helen. Maybe she'll get help with Eleanor.

What's up?

Well, you're not going to believe it when I tell you.

Actually, you might, considering.

Yesterday afternoon, I was... served with a complaint against me, filed under

seal by one of my former law clerks.

He's claiming sexual harassment.

What a shock.

Funny.

The claim is based with, nevertheless, I have to defend myself against it.

That's why I'm here, to hire you.

You want to hire me?

To defend you in a sexual harassment case? Don't you think that's a little

strange? Why?

You're an excellent attorney.

Who you've had erotic dreams about. Oh, please. If I had a dime for every erotic

dream I'd ever had. Forget it. Oh, is that what you'd say is your deposition?

Look, if you choose not to represent me, that's fine. But I don't think you need

be discourteous.

I'm sorry to have bothered you.

Why would you want to hire me? Sexual harassment isn't my specialty.

Though it would be a good way to disqualify me as a witness should I ever

called to testify.

And why would you be called as a witness?

Nobody knows what happened between us.

Unless you told someone.

I certainly didn't.

Nothing happened between you and me.

So then this hostility just comes out whenever anybody tries to engage your

services. Well, let's just say I have a hard time believing you're totally

innocent. Let's just say I have a hard time believing you only represent the

totally innocent.

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that I do.

I am innocent.

I had an affair with the boy. The truth is, I think he still has a thing for me.

After he finished with my law clerk, he asked me to write him a letter of

recommendation. I did.

It wasn't glowing enough in his eyes.

He's retaliating.

Okay. Which brings me back.

To why me?

Because it goes public.

I get destroyed.

Merits aside.

I want somebody big enough to make this go away.

Who's not afraid to get ugly if he has to.

I asked around.

Word is, you're it.

She's up first, Linus being called second. We have to get him independent

counsel. First, let's get through arraignment. All rise.

I left word.

Oh, no.

It's Judge Wackadoo.

Just what we need.

Be seated.

Case number 32111, Commonwealth v. Eleanor Frutt, possession of controlled

substance. Eugene Young, for the defendant, wave reading, Your Honor. I

dismiss this right now. On what grounds?

Ms. Frutt's a lawyer. She represents a man who charged into her office.

Objection. What the hell?

Your Honor, I work with Mr. Young.

Hurry up.

What are you doing?

Technically, we still represent Leonard. You can't be serving up facts that

incriminate him, even if they help Eleanor.

Your Honor.

The police charged into our office, chasing a man they believed had drugs in

possession. This man ran to Ms. Sprutt's desk.

The police followed. Suddenly, drugs were discovered on Ms. Sprutt's desk.

asked her how they got there. She, of course, refused to answer any questions,

and they arrested her for having drugs in her possession, and it's bogus.

Is that what happened? From what I know, that seems accurate.

Out of line.

Out of line.

Arresting the lawyer?

Your Honor, Ms. Frett was given opportunity to explain how the drugs

her possession.

But if a client dropped them there, then she's not free to say so, is she?

I want to know who the officer is. I want to know who said okay to this. This

case is dismissed.

Dismissed. Dismissed.

We don't go around arresting lawyers.

Next case. Next case. Next case.

3 -2 -1 -1 -2.

Commonwealth versus Leonard Sowers. Possession of control. Rebecca

representing the defendant, Your Honor. Wave reading.

I, too, ask that you dismiss all charges.

Why? As the police report stipulates, they didn't find any drugs on my client.

They were on Eleanor Front's death.

Wait a second, second, second.

This is the guy who went running in so forth, so forth, so forth drugs?

Well, there's no evidence of that. The heroin was only found on the desk, never

in Mr. Sauer's possession.

He's got a record as long as my intestine.

He's a drug addict.

Do I look like a dope? You do not look like a dope. You have got a god -awful,

scum -sucking, guilty client here. We all know that.

Drug addict. Your Honor.

Get yourself a jury.

I mean, they're the dopes.

They'll probably let him go.

Not dismissed.

Bound over.

And no bail either because you got me angry.

Next case, next case, next case.

Give me something good.

You sold me out. I did not sell you out, Eleanor. I said in open court the drugs

were in my possession. I said it for the purpose of Leonard's case. In my

possession? Your case was already dismissed, Eleanor. Oh, yes, Lindsay,

side. I expect nothing less.

Hey. Again?

Why is she even here? To kick your ass like I did before. Oh, please. I heard

me. What the hell is wrong with you two? Isn't it obvious? You said something

she didn't like, and it's clearly my fault. Enough.

Eleanor.

I've been paging you. Yeah, well, some bad news.

Eleanor Frost, please place your hands behind your back.

Excuse me? You have the right to remain silent. Enough with Miranda.

What's going on now?

The knife they found in your drawer, did George Vogelman give it to you?

What? The weapon used to cut off Susan Robin's head.

She's going to be booked on concealing evidence, probably obstruction of

justice. Did she say how the knife got in there? Well...

We haven't had a chance to talk to her yet. Okay, first, we try to get it

kicked. In my opinion, the search was illegal.

Well, incident to an arrest. They were after Leonard. But they arrested her.

Which got dismissed already. Lindsay, bring the motion at the arraignment.

Rebecca, you handle Leonard. Eugene, go find George Vogelman.

Bobby, we have that lawyer coming in on Kittleton.

What? She hired her. She's being sued.

And you took the case? Lindsay, never mind. Bobby, she... Lindsay, go see

Eleanor. Jimmy, I need you to help me here.

Do they know it's the murder weapon?

It matches the blade. They're testing the blood scrapings.

How the hell did it get in her desk?

I don't know.

It was the bottom left drawer. Under some old files.

Do you even remember the last time you looked down there? No.

So somebody's framing me.

Or George. Did George Vogelman ever have access? Was he ever in the office

alone? It isn't him, Lindsay. Can you really know that now?

Yes.

Okay. Marina's at two. Division one.

I can't imagine they'll set bail, but... I don't believe this is really

happening. A guy comes in, he throws heroin at me, and I am suddenly being

for concealing a murder weapon?

It's gonna go away, Eleanor.

Don't worry.

Can I help you?

I'm looking for Dr. George Vogelman. Does he work here? He does.

Or did. You're about ten minutes too late.

Sorry? The police just arrested him.

Same charge, concealment. And he's in custody.

Eugene's on his way to see him in lockup.

Lindsay talked to Helen. She thinks the police are determined to get him all

over again.

Is concealment a lesser included?

It's a murder? No way. He's free game.

Bob McDonald?

Yeah.

Milton Kadams. Oh, hi.

Thanks for agreeing to come.

Jimmy Berluti. A pleasure.

As I said on the phone, Judge Kittleson is very anxious to dispose of this. As

is Mr.

Michaels. He certainly doesn't want to begin his law career as a plaintiff in a

sexual harassment case.

That's why we filed under seal. Which I appreciate.

Listen, we've been hit with a little emergency.

And unfortunately, I have to run out. If we could agree...

To depose the two parties, also under seal. Do it right here. Get some kind of

assessment on the case. We can pick a number and be done.

Can she go first?

Sure. Six o 'clock tonight?

Tonight? You could always depose her again if you want.

My feeling is if we could flush out some facts quick, I think we can get rid of

it. The faster, the better for both sides.

Okay. I'll see you at six tonight. Great.

Jimmy, sorry to run out.

I'm so sorry. Leonard.

I never meant to hurt her. Leonard, you need to stop crying and listen to me. I

love Eleanor.

I know you do.

And for you to help her, you see, we may have to be making statements that go

against your interests, which means you might need to get a new lawyer for the

time being.

I want Eleanor.

Eleanor is unavailable right now. I love Eleanor. She is in jail, Leonard.

She's always stuck by me.

They can't... Okay, what I am trying to tell you is we won't be sticking by you.

I love Eleanor.

I have no idea.

Woman, say it again.

Well, you better think, George. Think who could have stuck that knife in that

drawer. Otherwise... I've heard that speech.

You better think, George.

Better think who could have put that head in your medical bag.

Otherwise... Now is not the time to get snide.

This is Eleanor on the line now, not just you.

I know that.

Why would I ever put a knife in her drawer? Or if I did give it to her, why

would she even take it?

Somebody's doing something here. And you can't think of who it could possibly

be? No.

George, I'll tell you this. If I ever get win... You know what?

Beat me up?

Do it.

I've been out of work for six months. I finally got hired two days ago. Two days

ago. And what happened?

In come the police to take me away again.

Go ahead, Eugene.

Beat the hell out of me. I need the money.

Case number 32632, Commonwealth v. Eleanor Frutt. Bobby Downer for the

Your Honor, wave reading asks that this court dismiss all charges on the

grounds... Dismiss, dismiss.

Everybody's getting up and asking me to dismiss charges.

What do I look like, hmm? Well, under the circumstances... I've already

dismissed charges against this woman once today. That's all she gets.

I don't just kick things here, especially in murder cases. Not

No, no, no.

What do you mean, murder case?

Yes, murder. Your client is charged with first -degree murder. If you didn't

know that, why the hell did you waive reading?

What's going on here?

What is going on? Talk to me, Counselor.

Never mind, don't.

Now I'm mad, all right?

Next case. Give me something good. What the hell is this?

Why don't we find a room to talk?

There's enough there.

For a murder charge?

Well, I'm not saying we're going to make, but we've got to face a few facts

here. She had a romantic relationship with this Vogelman. That was two years

ago. Well, love's been known to smolder.

Is this a joke?

She's found with a murder weapon?

And we all know Eleanor has a temper?

What do you want, Richard?

Vogelman.

She testifies that he gave her the knife. Well, maybe we can make things go

on her. First of all, I have no knowledge that he gave her the knife.

you can't get Vogelman.

Double jeopardy. We can't get him on murder, but we can on concealment and

perjury. Third, this is blatant blackmail. This is a settlement

You're charging a lawyer with murder to get her client?

This is way over the line.

Bobby. You guys accused the victim's brother of murder just to get your

off, and you want to debate where the line is? We're defense attorneys.

It's different.

Discuss the offer with Eleanor.

And then, get back to me.

I don't believe it. I've got the motion to suppress Marquette for tomorrow.

What, that judge? No, thank God, Judge West.

How's George?

Not good. They denied bail.

For concealing evidence and perjury, obstruction of justice. They're on a

mission, Bobby. They're out for him, and now they have the perfect chance.

So you don't deny the affair?

No, I don't.

Nor did I regret it until yesterday.

Can you tell us how your relationship with Kevin Michaels began?

Our professional relationship began when I hired him out of law school to clerk

for me.

Our physical relationship began about four months later. It was a Friday

We were going over a draft of a rather convoluted opinion regarding stock

And, well, I suppose one might say I seduced him.

Why might one say that?

Because I did.

Can you be more specific?

Do I need to be? The basis of this lawsuit concerns what happened after he

my employ.

We can all stipulate to the sexual affair.

We're on a fast course to settle this. I need to flush out some of the

background before advising my client.

All right.

We were working side by side going over this draft.

He reached across for something.

I don't remember what.

And he inadvertently brushed my breast.

He began to apologize profusely and perhaps to dissipate his embarrassment,

said, don't be sorry. I rather enjoyed it.

What happened next?

Well, he just stared back at me. I'd obviously shocked him.

But he had an expression.

almost as if he were titillated a little as well.

And, oh, I don't know, maybe because the hour was late and my senses were fried

or it was just a dare in me, I said,

it's not the worst thing in life to be touched, you know?

And I reached out my hand.

I tucked him and said,

not so bad, is it?

And then?

And then, at the risk of sounding immodest,

I gave him the best fellatio known to mankind.

I am sorry to be so blunt, but I think we all know what can happen if you don't

come clean at a deposition.

No prints on the knife. DNA was positive. It's Susan Robbins' blood.

I think Vogelman needs independent counsel.

For now, what if we need to argue? He put the knife in here. My money says we

will. Let's just see how the suppression hearing goes on Eleanor. If we win

there, there won't be any conflict.

You all set?

Yep. You need any help on any research?

I'm fine.

Lindsay, it's a good case to take. If a judge hires you, that's a nice feather.

It's under seal, Bobby.

There's no more key value in this case.

There would be no reason to take it.

Oh, was there?

Oh, please, you can't be jealous. Bobby, let me just concentrate on Eleanor's

case right now, okay?

Your Honor. Am I early?

No, no, we're set to go in about 20 minutes, and Bobby wanted to go over

stuff. Do you perhaps have something I could just nip? Oh, hello.

Hello.

Did I get by?

Oh, I'm pretty sorry.

I'll be down as soon as I can.

I don't mean to add pressure, but if we don't win this, Eleanor faces a long

haul. I know.

Do you have any idea how that knife got there?

Had to be George.

You never showed him the letter. Not before I sent it out.

I suppose I should have.

This isn't about that letter, Bobby.

You read it. It may not have been laced with superlatives, but it certainly

wasn't critical.

Well. He's suing you for it, so... My bet is he's suing just for the

privilege of these depositions.

He gets to be in the same room with me again.

I don't think he's over me, to tell you the truth.

Is everything okay?

Fine.

They had no warrant to search that desk. And nor is one required. It was a

search incident to an arrest.

Warrantless searches... Hold on a second.

Are you saying the arrest of Ms. Frutt was invalid?

On the knife, absolutely.

Not on the knife. On the drugs. That case was dismissed.

I understand. But are you saying at the time the arrest was made, it was legally

invalid? Yes. They knew those drugs weren't hers.

The heroin was on her desk, counsel.

There was no probable cause for an arrest?

They came in chasing somebody else for those drugs. He ran right to this desk.

They see the drugs on top of the desk. They suddenly think they belong to her.

Please, that insults everybody's intelligence.

Which is why the case on the drugs was ultimately dismissed.

But if the arrest was technically valid at the time, then so was the search that

turned up the knife.

Even if you were to uphold the search as incident to a valid arrest, the area to

be searched has to be within the control of the suspect. Which this was. It was

her desk. She wasn't even in the building by the time you found the

the desk couldn't be within her control. The search began contemporaneously with

the arrest. It continued after she left. It did not begin after she left.

There's a difference, Your Honor. I can cite the cases.

None of those cases involved a pretext arrest, which this was.

They knew the drugs weren't hers. They didn't have a good faith basis to make

that arrest. Any search incident to that arrest is also lacking in good faith.

This is part of a master plan to get George Vogelman, and everybody in this

knows it.

Objection! Make your objection, but I'm putting this on the record. They charge

her with murder, and they offer to drop everything if she would flip George

Vogelman on concealment. He's the one they're after. The arrest of Eleanor

is not only unethical, it is flat -out immoral. I completely reject that!

We never offered to drop this, and any and all settlement discussions are

inadmissible. She should be sanctioned for attempting to raise this in these

proceedings. You're charging her with homicide to coerce testimony. Not only

mention that she misrepresented everything I said in the context of our

discussion. All right!

I'll take all this under advisement.

I'll rule tomorrow.

Your Honor, I would ask that you release Ms. Frutt on her own recognizance

pending your decision.

I can live with that.

O .R.

Adjourned till tomorrow.

You can go. Your

case has been dismissed.

Thank you, God.

You're the only one to catch a break this week, Leonard. You know that heroin

you bought?

Lab results show it wasn't heroin. It was some brown confectionary or

That's how gone you are, Leonard. Even the deal is... I can go now?

Right now.

Good. Not a second too soon. I need a fix.

You know, I can't stop you from going to get your fix.

But don't you ever come into our office again and bring that stuff.

Eleanor Fred is in a lot of trouble right now all because of you.

By your own admission, this affair was consensual.

Yes, but I feel that after it ended, this letter was not a ringing

That was clear to anybody who read it. Well, did it say anything negative?

No, but it wasn't glowing.

I think it's what she didn't say that was conspicuous. Is it possible that you

weren't that great a clerk?

It's possible, but what?

Well, I don't think she had the opportunity to really know whether I was

clerk or not.

And why is that?

Well, once our personal relationship began, the only thing that transpired in

our chambers was sex.

Over the last seven months, we probably made love two to three times a day,

sometimes four.

Four times in one day? One day, I think we hit 11.

She was insatiable.

Are you claiming that in any way it was against your will?

No, no, it was the most amazing.

Look, I didn't complain.

And if she tried to seduce me again today, I can't honestly say that she

wouldn't succeed, knowing how... Look, my point is that what chance did I

have to excel at being a clerk when all we did was... Mr. Michaels, why did you

ask her to write a recommendation in the first place?

It was probably a mistake.

I just figured, I don't know, if a woman can't get enough of your penis...

Chances are she'll write a decent letter.

Um, can we go off the record here a second?

Kevin, I will write you a superlative recommendation right now.

Make a call or two. I could get you a job in a second.

How about I do that?

When we call off this lawsuit?

It's a little late.

No, it isn't.

This isn't about you getting a job, Kevin.

It's about getting me.

Excuse me?

You're obsessed with me. Does your lawyer not know that?

You're sad.

Am I?

I could give you an erection from across the room. We both know that.

Go ahead. Stand over there. I'll prove it.

Probably getting aroused right now.

Stand up, Kevin.

Hey, let's just go back on the record.

Be seated.

A man gets chased into an office, leads to a search, turns up a knife.

Somebody somewhere has an idea as to what's going on here.

But it isn't me.

The search of the desk drawer was valid.

As far as the murder charge... Possession of a weapon alone doesn't

probable cause, at least not to me under these circumstances. That count is

dismissed. As far as the charges of concealing evidence and obstruction of

justice, those counts stand.

The defendant is bound over for trial, personal recognizance. We'll conference

Tuesday, 10 o 'clock.

Adjourned.

Excuse me, Ms. Pratt. Ms.

Pratt, would you help George Bodeman get away with murder?

Do you know who killed Susan Robin?

Come on, let us through. Where did the knife come from?

I'll just answer a few questions.

We'll beat it,

Eleanor. Every one of us is on it.

If we have to drop every other case to fight this, it's done. As of right now,

George Vogelman is an enemy.

Why? Because one of the alternative defenses will have to be he planted that

knife. Which is possible, by the way. No, it isn't. Eleanor, look at me.

Everyone in this room stands ready to go to war for you.

But you have to let us.

Here's the deal, George.

The police seem determined to put you on trial again for killing Susan Robin.

But how can they?

I was acquitted.

Well, they're going to end Ron Double Jeopardy with concealment, obstruction

justice, perjury. And relevant to proving the case, the question as to

you committed murder will be played out again.

And if you get convicted on perjury and concealment, the judge is going to take

everything into consideration when he sentences you.

What are you telling me?

I'm telling you, you could be looking at 20 years.

This... This isn't fair.

No, it isn't.

And it doesn't get better.

You need to get another attorney. Our firm withdraws.

Your new lawyer can contact us, and we'll release the files.

Jimmy, my office. Everybody else in the conference room, Your Honor.

Oh, hello.

I'm Roberta Kittleson.

Lindsay Dole. Yes, I know. You have quite a reputation at the courthouse.

So do you.

You can go in.

Excuse me.

Pretty simple.

Ten thousand and a better recommendation.

And we close it today.

Why should I give him money?

Because he's looking to save face and it goes away now.

Merits aside, this will look bad for you if it goes public.

Let's keep it sealed and be done. Can I tell him yes?

I suppose.

Great. I'll draft some papers, have you sign them. Bobby.

Thank you.

I'll be in touch.

Now, this is a really good result.

We put this out in a day.

Good result.

Yes, and thank you, too, Jimmy.

Listen, maybe you want to get a glass of champagne later?

Toast our victory?

Well, would you like to do that?

Well, only if you would.

Sure.

Good.

There are two possibilities.

Somebody's out to frame George Vogelman, or he's guilty. If George were guilty,

why would he put the murder weapon in my drawer? What good does that do him?

Well, if he's guilty, Eleanor, we can forget what makes sense. He cut off a

head. Plus, this could be some fixation thing with you. What?

Loner. Perhaps once in love with you, you dumped him. I mean, maybe when he

first cut off the head, he brought it to you like a cat showing off a dead

mouse. Oh, come on!

Eleanor, if he's sick, he's sick. Why the knife in the drawer?

I don't know, to keep things alive, to keep a connection with Eleanor, maybe?

That doesn't seem like it. Obsessed people do crazy things, Bobby.

Look, let's all admit we don't know George, but he's exactly the profile.

Nice guy delivering mail one day, walks into McDonald's the next.

That isn't George.

Then who, Eleanor? This doesn't make sense. Look, we figured he was set up

first time. If somebody put a head in his medical bag, maybe they're doing the

same thing again with a knife. If somebody wanted to frame George with a

it would have turned up before he was acquitted. Why hold the knife back?

How stupid would that be? Maybe they didn't have the knife at first. Didn't

it? If he was set up with the head in the bag, it would have had to have been

the killer who would also have the knife.

It just doesn't make sense.

If the police... The knife turned up

after the trial.

And because of double jeopardy, the only way to make use of it was to plan it

here and set up a perjury obstruction of justice charge.

That's a bit of a reach.

This trial embarrassed them.

And just like Eugene and Helen said, there is a mission to get George.

And I know how they did it.

I don't. I don't know what you're talking about. Yes, you do, Leonard.

Because it didn't make sense.

Nobody buying heroin, especially someone so experienced as you, is going to walk

off with sugar.

The reason it was sugar is so the case against you would eventually get

which you seemed to see coming.

Something that also confused me a little when I went to your cell and said you

could go.

You weren't surprised.

The police sent you running in there to drop that bag to allow them to search

Eleanor's desk.

where the knife was either planted then or sometime before.

Leonard, is that what happened?

The police sent you running into my office?

Leonard, you're not going to get arrested or prosecuted on this if you

the truth.

I guarantee it.

Police misconduct, coercion, trust me, they can't touch you.

But if you don't tell us the truth...

If you go along with the police trying to frame Eleanor, a person who has been

very good to you, a person who's been saving your ass for the last 10 years,

you don't come clean with what went down, I will hurt you.

They caught me with some stuff again.

Said if I do this, they'd let me go.

I'm sorry, Eleanor.

I'm afraid of prison.

So far, it appears to be limited to a select group of officers.

We've arrested three uniforms and two lieutenants in forensics.

Where was the knife found?

It's unconfirmed, but the weapon was evidently found in an abandoned car.

We don't know about who at this point. After the Vogelman trial?

That's my understanding.

I would like to stress, this does not represent the Boston Police Department.

These officers are a disgrace to the force.

Police Chief Sullivan will be conducting a press conference shortly to address

this further. Thank you. Can you release the name of... I still

can't believe it.

How could they be so brazen to think they wouldn't get caught?

They almost didn't.

So this was all staged to get a warrantless arrest?

Figured they had a weak link in our chain with Leonard.

How many officers involved?

Investigation's just starting, but so far they think five.

Unbelievable. Yeah. Anyway, at least things ended well.

Here's to your case.

Yes.

Tell me, Jimmy.

Do you typically toast victory with all your clients?

Or did all that sex talk make you curious?

I'm sorry.

If you can be honest.

Well, uh... Just between you and me, which part of the testimony

was your favorite?

Do you remember?

My mind's a little blank at the moment.

George Volgeman was released shortly after, hoping I'm sure he's been

for the last time. Asked for a comment, he politely declined.

Poor guy.

Of course he could still be guilty.

Don't go there.

Where's Bobby tonight?

We're kind of fighting a little.

Over his representing Judge Kittleson?

Lindsay, she's 102 years old. She's 56.

You think Bobby's attracted to her?

Oh, well, here he is. Kissy -kissy makeup time.

Hey.

Hey.

Come on in.

Hi. Hi.

Wow.

Some place.

Yeah, well, I make a lot of money.

Listen,

I never got a chance to thank you for defending me.

I lost the motion.

Yeah.

You okay?

What's wrong?

Nothing, nothing.

It's, uh... When I think about why I practice law,

my mind always goes to the little guy, you know, the Leonards, the people that

fight for.

And after ten years for him to just sell me out... Eleanor, he's a drug addict.

No, no, no, let me finish.

I've been sitting home for the last two hours feeling sorry for myself, thinking

that nobody's loyal.

There's just no such thing.

And then my mind went to how all of you stood up for me,

dropped everything.

I'm sorry for the way I've treated you lately.

I think this whole partnership thing, has blinded me to, I don't know, to what

it really means to have true partners.

I know I have them.

I especially know you're one of them.

The orc.
