It's the glasses. You can't remember anybody handing you eyeglasses or...
been asking me that for three days, Lindsay. The problem is the jury will be
asking it. If we can't account for how your fingerprints ended up in that
house... You don't think I'd love to account for it? Maybe a woman spilled
purse. Maybe you helped pick up the contents or someone left glasses on your
desk. All possible, but we're going back almost a year.
If it happened, I just don't remember it.
Well, at least he's honest.
He's also dead.
We can explain away the body in his car trunk. Maybe even that's a long shot.
But those glasses were found in a locked desk.
I say we go with Kingman, the husband. We can't accuse the widower. We'll be
monsters. There's rumors he was having some affairs.
Old rumors which we can't confirm.
He could have easily discovered the emails, traced them to Dennis.
He has an alibi. How many times... Maybe he hired somebody.
It's too risky. to go with that. If we fall on our face... If anybody here
pretended we're not desperate, the trial starts in ten hours.
We got nothing.
If our guy didn't do it, which is what we all want to believe, the most likely
candidate is the husband.
I say we go with plan B. You just love plan B. It's our only option. It's not
our life. Do you have any idea what the judge will do to us if we accuse the
widower? Lindsay, look at that board.
Body, murder weapon, fingerprints.
How does our client look to you?
Guilty. That's how he looks to the world.
Maybe because he is.
And if he's not, the next best choice is the husband.
Plan B.
No question.
It's in the Adelstein file under prior bad acts. There's a memorandum, a list
cases which I need you to run through Westlaw and fax me anything you get. You
want me to draft a motion? No, just research.
We'll wing the motion at the trial. And Rebecca, we need it today.
All right, listen up.
I'll open, which will be short. I don't want to tip our strategy.
Eleanor, the photographer's up first. He's yours.
Next comes the detective.
Jimmy? I'm ready. He's the key. His reputation for being lazy, you have to
that out. But you can't look like you've got a grudge. I'm going to be all sweet
right up until I kill him.
Bobby, you've got Brickman, the school teacher if we need him, and Dennis.
You'll also close.
Eleanor, you've got the nun on cross. If they call her, you'll also take the
pathologist. I've got Dennis' wife.
What have we left out?
The judge.
Right. We do not antagonize him. We do not interrupt him. Don't worry.
Okay, again, soft plan B. Everything we do in that room is to set up reasonable
doubt, period. We're not going in to convict Kingman. We just need to
the question. It's all about setting up Bobby's clothing.
Nobody pushes.
We stay contained.
If there's a disagreement in the room, I make the call. I'm first chair. Scream
at me in the corridor if you want, but in the room, don't argue.
Any questions?
Can I go to the beach?
No.
You're the 13th juror. I want you keeping score.
Okay, let's back up.
One more thing.
I know you all flew out here to support me.
And I'm grateful.
But he is innocent.
I realize you may not necessarily believe that, but I know it.
And I need you to trust that I know it.
Let's go.
With this hammer, he repeatedly struck her in the head.
brutally killing her. He then stuffed her body in the trunk of his car and
buried this weapon in his garage.
We will show you email correspondence between the victim and the defendant.
Correspondence which is sexual and even violent.
We will introduce evidence that establishes the defendant's presence in
victim's home.
Now, did anyone actually see Dennis Mill swing this hammer?
Only Stacey Kingman.
But she didn't live to tell you about it.
There's a reason the district attorney put these posters up here for you to
A reason he waves the murder weapon in front of your faces.
He wants you to be horrified.
He wants your emotion.
He needs it. Why?
Because he can't get a conviction on the facts alone.
Yes, Dennis Mills had a relationship with Stacey Kingman on the Internet.
They had a sexual Walter Mitty -esque affair communicating by email, but they
never met.
Somebody discovered this email correspondence and seized upon it as an
opportunity to kill Stacy Kingman and frame Dennis Mills. Somebody else swung
that hammer, put the body in my client's trunk, hid the weapon in his garage.
I'm not going to tell you to look away from these pictures.
They are horrifying.
I won't pretend this thing...
wasn't used to bash in a woman's skull. It was.
But not by Dennis Mills.
Dennis Mills has been framed for a crime he didn't commit.
As you can see, they're right next to each other.
Mr. Rydell, why did you take this picture?
I was hired by the museum, which I frequently am, to cover various exhibit
openings. I take stills for publicity or sometimes for their own catalogs. Could
you tell the court when the picture was taken?
May 10th of 1999.
For the record, that would be two days before Mrs. Kingman's death?
Yes. Thank you, sir. That's all I have.
Mr. Rydell, Mr.
Mills appears to be standing two feet in front of Mrs. Kingman here. Would that
be a fair assessment?
I believe it would. So they're not really standing side by side, are they?
Not in that photo, no.
Do you have any photographs where they are standing side by side?
No. So they're not really next to each other as you testify?
They're close to each other.
You never saw my client and Mrs. Kingman actually speak to each other, did you?
I don't think so. If I did, I don't remember.
So it is entirely possible that Mr. Mills and Mrs. Kingman were simply two
patrons at the same art opening who at one time were standing approximately
close to one another.
Isn't that possible?
Yes.
Thank you, sir.
That's all I have.
You may step down.
Mr. Fox.
I will call Stephen Mack, Your Honor.
Objection. This witness is not listed.
He's not really a witness, Your Honor. I'm calling him simply to read the email
correspondence into evidence.
Objection. Overruled.
Sidebar, Your Honor. Denied.
You're denying a sidebar? Yes, I am.
Step up, Mr. Mack. The defense brings at this time a motion in limine seeking to
suppress the email correspondence. That's a pre -trial motion, Counsel.
trial or have that escaped you? We're raising it again at trial.
Denied. Sidebar.
Denied. Go and rejoin your group.
Let's go. We're walking out.
Just do it. Let's go.
Where do you think you're going?
Back to Massachusetts, Your Honor.
If you leave this room, I will hold all four of you in contempt.
If we're going to stay in this room, then you will deal with us. Now, either
give me a sidebar right now, adjourn to chambers, or we'll take the jail cell,
in which case you'll have to start this trial all over again.
Members of the jury, we will take a five -minute recess.
I don't mean to show disrespect, but we cannot tolerate you disrespecting us.
We plan to renew our motion and limine concerning those letters. This should
have been pre -trial. Attorney Jacobs was derelict in his preparation for this
case. I would think you could take judicial notice of that. He didn't file
motions to suppress.
His failure to try to limit the admissibility of these letters is gross
malpractice. I assure you he wouldn't have prevailed.
We would like to be heard on the matter, and we would like additional time to
prepare. Otherwise, we will file an interlocutory appeal and get the time
way.
Mr. Fox.
Call your next witness. Tomorrow morning, before we bring in the jury, I
hear the defendant's motion to suppress the email.
Let's go.
Counsel, one more stunt like that, I will jail you, and the others will
without you.
I thought you said don't aggravate the guy. We can't let him push us around,
either. Don't sit up next. You ready, Jimmy? I'm ready.
Why does everybody keep asking if I'm ready? Well, we'd sort of like to know.
I need to get air.
He's not ready.
Is he okay?
He's fine.
He's best when he's nervous.
He better be fine. This is their key witness.
little ashen, counsel.
You worrying about me?
You're the one getting in that chair.
You'd be smart to get up and down as fast as you can, you fat fart.
I've been sitting in that chair for 20 years. I've bested F. Lee Bailey, Johnny
Cochran. I think I can handle Jimmy the Grunt.
I told you I'd check you out.
You're a hack.
You don't think I'll get you?
I'll get you.
Whatever you say, Jimbo.
We found the body inside the trunk.
Were you able to identify her?
Her purse and identification were also in the trunk.
We notified her husband, brought him to the scene where he identified the victim
as his wife.
And what happened next?
We searched the premises of the defendant, which turned up a hammer
plastic that was later determined to be the weapon used to murder Mrs. Kingman.
We subsequently searched the victim's house, dusting for fingerprints.
And what did you find, detective?
We lifted three prints off a lens of Mrs. Kingman's eyeglasses that belonged
the defendant, Dennis Mills.
And where did you find those eyeglasses?
Inside of Mrs. Kingman's desk.
We also found in the desk a manila envelope containing printed emails to
victim. from an alias that was later identified to be the defendant.
Thank you, sir. Reserve the right to recall.
Good afternoon, detective.
My name is James Berluti.
We've actually met.
How are you today, sir?
Fine. You said you searched my client's premises.
Why did you do that?
Because we found a dead body in his car.
I see.
Did you consider maybe somebody else put it there?
reconsidered it, and ruled it out.
Why? Because the body was in his car.
You didn't take him to the police station for questioning, you just
right there on the spot?
Yes. Then found the hammer, then the eyeglasses?
Correct.
Open and shut, right, detective?
Objection. Sustained. After you found the hammer, you said in front of various
officers, we got him.
Did you not say that?
I was referring to the fact that we had a suspect in custody.
Oh, you meant in custody?
Yes. But...
Dennis Mills was already in custody before you went into the garage.
Then you come out with a hammer and an evidence bag saying we got him.
Saying it to the officers who already had my client in custody.
Why would you tell the officers who had my client in custody that you now had
him in custody?
Is it possible you said it meaning you got the guy nailed?
Something like that.
I could have been saying it in that context. I really don't remember.
You have a reputation at your department for being a little lazy, don't you,
detective? You want to compare reputations, counsel? Objection.
not going to get into reputations.
This case was a snap, wasn't it, detective?
You didn't even look into the idea of other suspects.
We investigated this case fully, Mr. Belluti. You investigated it fully.
This chat room that my client and the victim had been in.
How many other people were in it?
Many. Many?
Over 20? Isn't that right, Detective?
I believe so.
You talked to all of them?
Well, we were unable to find them. All most used aliases.
Of the people you did find, run checks on where they all were the evening of
12th?
You didn't do that, did you, Detective?
Well, some of them we quickly eliminated as suspects.
Isn't it true Dennis Mills is the only guy you put in your scopes? No, that is
not true.
There were other people you bothered to consider?
Yes. Could I have their names?
Your client was the only one we focused on as a viable suspect. No other
suspects considered besides Dennis Mills. Would that be your testimony,
Detective? Well, we considered others, but we concluded that your client was
only viable suspect.
I see.
Could I have the names of those other people you considered?
Objection. Badgering.
Overruled. Answer the question, Detective.
The only person the department seriously considered...
Was your client.
I see.
What about Anthony Brickman?
A man also in the chat room. Did you know he also emailed the victim?
Yes. Do you have knowledge in one of those emails he threatened to kill
Kingman? Well, that man routinely threatened to kill her. It was a yes or
question, detective.
Do you have knowledge that Anthony Brickman emailed Stacey Kingman
to kill her? Yes or no?
Yes. Did you tell District Attorney Fox about Anthony Brickman? No.
You didn't.
You've been a detective, what, 21 years?
27. 27.
As an experienced detective of so many years, you knew if you turned what you
knew about Anthony Brickman over to the DA, he would be obligated by law to tell
us about him. Is that why you didn't tell the District Attorney?
No, it is not.
The truth is, Detective.
In your mind, you got the right guy in Dennis Mills, and you didn't bother to
investigate anybody else.
Our investigation, all of it, pointed to your client.
But your investigation can't rule out the possibility somebody framed Dennis
Mills, can it, Detective? That body could have been put in his car.
The hammer could have been placed in his garage, and the glasses with his prints
could have been planted in the house.
All of that is possible, isn't it, Detective?
Well, how did his prints get on the glasses? I don't know.
Would have been nice if you investigated.
Objection. Sustained.
You're a drinker, aren't you, Detective Doakes?
Objection. If this man's faculties were compromised or impaired at the time...
Objection. Sustained. My client's looking at a death penalty based on the
work of a lazy drunk.
Objection. Sustained. That's enough, Mr. Berluti.
It's Berluti.
I think I'm all done with the detectives.
Research from Rebecca.
Just in time. Anything good? The California case is on hold.
If we can keep those letters... You are so amazing.
What time's the motion?
9 a .m. Did you see the way I had him trapped?
He had nowhere to go.
You were great.
Listen to you all. You're on the moon about the prospect of getting a man off
who you don't even believe is innocent.
You don't know what we believe, Mr. Kingman. I'll be watching every step you
take, you son of a bitch. Yeah, you do that and go.
Come on, Jimmy.
We're back in.
The idea that my sister was wild or associating freely with a bad element,
that's simply not possible.
But like Mr. Berluti said, she was in that erotic chat room.
I still can't believe that's even possible, to be honest.
But if she was, it was maybe out of curiosity or boredom.
She was not a thrill seeker and would not be running around keeping bad
She went to the museum to check my client out. That's what you say.
I'll bet she mentioned she was going and he went to check her out. So I would
gather from your testimony, sister, that you would deem it not just possible,
even likely, that Stacy and Dennis Mills never, in fact, arranged to meet?
Well, I can't believe she would go off and meet up with some stranger from the
Internet.
No, I can't.
So far, it's going better than expected. If we can keep the e -mail letters from
being admitted, then our strategy will change. We won't be accusing the
Okay. Why?
Because pointing the finger at the widower is very risky. We could
alienate the jury. And without that e -mail, the prosecution's case isn't that
great. We'd have no reason to take such a risk.
So what you're telling me now, we have a chance.
Long way to go, but we are definitely in the fight.
Okay, Karen, back to you.
Can I put you on the stand?
Yes.
After they rest, we'll call one witness before you, and then you're on.
Okay.
Okay. I've got to get back to work.
Lindsay, I don't know how to thank you.
Thank me when you walk out of this courthouse.
It's evidence of its character. It's prejudicial. The content of these emails
directly probative to Dennis Mills' guilt. There are some that go to sexual
sadism. They do not go to the issue of guilt or innocence. They certainly go to
a predisposition. That isn't admissible.
It's evidence which is being offered to show that the defendant is more likely
to have committed the alleged crime. That is flat out inadmissible under the
California Code of Evidence. You have the case law. It seems to me the letters
do more than suggest bad character. That's the main thing they do.
I'm sorry, Your Honor, you were saying?
They are relevant to much more than character.
They go to state of mind, which to me goes to motive.
Mr. Fox, I'll give you five emails. Pick which ones you want to enter, but I
won't let you load up trying to bury the defendant with volume.
Five is fine.
I must reiterate, these emails do not speak to whether my client committed the
crime. Then why are you so bothered?
I thought you were finished I really did
I am bothered because the graphic nature of some of these e -mails may cause the
jury to believe that Dennis Mills is deviant and therefore more likely to
committed murder.
That's exactly why these evidentiary rules exist, to prevent this kind of
prejudicial influence.
Well, I happen to believe the letters do have probative value. They're bound up
with motive and therefore admissible. To prevent prejudice, I am limiting the
prosecution to five. We are adjourned, and now I am finished.
Five minutes will bring the jury in.
Five is better than 60.
At least they can't be reading this stuff for three days.
It should have all been excluded.
He's calling Kingman to read them.
What? Kingman found them. Chain of custody.
Great. Should we plan B .M. now?
Not on the heels of reading those letters.
We'll recall him later and then... What is this?
You subpoenaed me. What, are you putting me up there to say I whacked that lady?
That's not why I'm calling you, Anthony. I'm putting you up as a hacker expert.
An expert? I want you to testify how you intercept email. That's all.
How do I know you won't like Plan B me?
It's the thing about the net, Mr. Donald.
Local news is national news. I got online, pulled up some articles on you
The client cuts off a head. The big lady here dates him. You Plan B the headless
girl's brother.
Got sued for it.
I don't intend to Plan B you, Anthony.
I just want your computer expertise.
Today I dreamed we were angry.
I was driving myself into you, and it hurt you.
But pain became pleasure, and I kept pushing and pushing until you appeared
lifeless.
And I continue to make love to you.
You lie there still, cold even, and I continue to push myself deep inside you.
I tear your skin away.
It's not enough to be together.
I want to be in you.
And I rip the skin.
And I feel your warm blood on my skin.
It brings me a toy.
Excuse me.
It brings me joy.
For whatever reason, hearing them read out loud... Well, at least he only put
three. He's saving two.
For what?
For you.
However well you do in your testimony, Fox will have you read them on cross so
it'll be your last impression with the jury.
You okay?
I hadn't read them all.
I didn't, um... I hadn't read the ones I just heard.
I know you almost think I'm sick.
Can I explain?
Oh, you're going to have to explain, Dennis.
To 12 people in a box.
First, let's just get through Brickman.
There's no such thing as privacy on the net.
You may think you're sending a private email, but even a kiddie hacker could
gain access.
So say if Mr. Mills were sending an email to Stacey Kingman, and only Stacey
Kingman, it's possible that somebody else could access it?
Read it.
Objection. This witness has no foundation to give expert testimony.
I specifically called him because he is a typical layperson computer hacker for
the purpose of showing how easy it is to intercept email.
The objection is overruled.
Mr. Brickman, the email is my client sent to Mrs. Kingman.
You ever see him?
Yeah. I was in the same chat room, and I was typically riveted by your client's
contributions. I hacked into his e -mail a lot.
It's publishable. Ask me. You accessed his e -mail a lot?
The man can write.
It's very arousing.
Thank you.
Oh, one other thing.
You threatened to kill Stacey Kingman, didn't you?
You said you weren't going to get into that. I don't mean to attack you, but
police did question you with respect to this threat, didn't they?
I threatened to kill lots of women by way of introduction.
You'd be surprised how many write back.
Did the police question you? Yes, I had an alibi. I was at a naked nude bar with
three buddies. I told this to Detective Doakes. And he accepted your word?
Truth be told, I think he was there, too.
Mr. Brickman, this is not a forum for you to entertain.
Is there anything else, Counsel? No, Your Honor.
Nothing.
Defense calls Dennis Mills.
It was an anonymous form of expression.
I was told once, a diary, when people write in them, they want it read on some
unconscious level.
And when you would write these emails?
It was, I guess, more thrilling to know it was being read by somebody. Okay.
But Dennis, some of the stuff you wrote... Very dark.
I'll own that. Many people like pornography, and some get more aroused
dangerous, even violent.
I don't deny being put in that category.
The emails, the chat room, it was kind of an interactive pornographic thing.
But I have never, ever acted out on... I never even met Stacey Kingman, and I
certainly didn't kill her. But you do admit these...
Writings of yours.
But that's all it was, Mr. Donnell. Writing. Fine.
But a dead body of someone you talked about being lifeless ended up in your
trunk. And I'm telling you that somebody else put her there.
Somebody is trying to set me up to take a fall for a crime I didn't commit.
You claim you were home alone the evening that Mrs. Kingman was murdered.
Yes. Never heard anybody break into your garage, break into your car, dump off a
dead body?
No. Any sign of a break -in, either with your car or the garage?
They were both unlocked.
The car trunk was unlocked?
No.
Could you read this email for the court, please?
Tonight, I see you...
I didn't write this.
Mr. Mills, you've already admitted to writing it. I didn't write this one.
Would you read it, please?
No, I didn't write it. Your Honor. I never saw this one. I didn't write it.
What's going on? This is in the packet already stipulated to by the defense as
being written by the defendant. I never saw this one. I didn't write it.
Sidebar.
Chain of custody has been stipulated to. It was in the victim's desk. My client
didn't review all the emails, and his former attorney who agreed to the
stipulation, I'd be surprised if he read any.
I'll allow it. Your Honor, he shouldn't have... You're free to argue he didn't
write it, Mr. Donald.
Step back.
The jury has advised, despite the defense stipulation, that Mr. Mills
authorship.
We're covered.
Appealed. So noted. Take your seat.
Tonight I... I see you beneath me.
Your eyes are vacant.
I see your face in death.
And I see my hands.
The hands that took you, the hands that delivered you to God.
I never wrote that.
Never wrote that.
We got to go back to the husband. Plan B.
At this point, it will look so desperate.
I mean, all we'll accomplish, the jury will want to convict us along with
Dennis. Well, Lindsay, any ideas?
We're all listening. He didn't write that email, and I thought he denied it
pretty persuasively. Didn't you, Lucy?
Yes. Go to the beach!
We've
done
everything.
I always believed if you had an innocent client and you fought your hardest,
you'd win.
That's how it should work.
Let me take a shot at the husband.
Do you think it'll work?
This case is still circumstantial, but the impact of those letters was... very
damaging.
Our plan is to put you, Karen, up first.
Then we'll call Kingman and ambush him as best we can.
He has an alibi, I thought. He does, but we'll try to suggest he hired somebody
to kill her, which, personally, I think he did.
But we have no proof.
No.
Then we'll recall you, Dennis, and try to make your last impression with the
jury, something other than... Then we'll rest
and hope for the best.
Anything can happen.
Their case is circumstantial.
There must be something you can do, Ms. Dole.
Can't you think of anything?
I want you watching the faces of the jurors. If it looks like I'm tanking,
me know. I'll cut my losses.
When you spoke to the husband, did he seem sympathetic?
Very. Great.
Ready? No? Does it matter? You don't look so cocky today, Jimbo. Hey, we can
always call you again.
Let's go.
It is inconceivable that my husband could have committed this crime.
You feel pretty sure about that?
I have known him for 12 years.
I have never known him to have any capacity for violence.
He is a gentle person.
You read the things he wrote to Stacey Kingman?
About wanting to make love to her?
Did you know your husband was writing those things to another woman?
No. He kept the relationship secret from you?
Yes, but... So you can't really sit in that chair and lay claim to knowing
everything about him, can you?
I know he's not a murderer.
Well, at the time the police first questioned you, you weren't even sure
that, though, were you?
I was in shock when I first spoke to the police.
At that point, you weren't sure, were you?
Did you know your husband to be capable of writing the things he wrote in these
emails, Mrs. Mills?
When first confronted with those emails, did you not say, that is not my
husband? Didn't you say that, Mrs. Mills?
Yes. And here you thick, saying you know him.
Could you read this for the court, please?
I shouldn't have to. Your Honor, please read it, Mrs. Mills.
I find myself thinking of
you more and more.
I feel it's becoming an obsession.
An obsession I must extinguish.
It's time for it all to be extinguished.
Thank you, Mrs. Mills.
That's all I have.
Ms. Dole, redirect.
Ms. Dole?
It's you.
Excuse me?
May I see your glasses, please?
That's how Dennis' prints got on the victim's glasses.
That's why he doesn't remember.
What are you talking about?
One night you probably said, Honey, hand me my glasses, which he did.
When he was really picking up Stacey Kingman's glasses.
What the hell is this?
Latitude, Your Honor. The woman Zachary Kingman was having the affair with,
maybe is having an affair with, is you. Have you lost your mind?
Stacey's sister couldn't imagine Stacey getting involved with an email
relationship.
She never did, did she, Karen?
It was Zachary Kingman.
Exchanging those emails with your husband pretending to be Stacy.
This is ridiculous. You discovered your husband's predilection for chatroom
erotica and decided to use it, didn't you, Karen?
Zachary Kingman got in that same chatroom pretending to be Stacy for the
of setting up this perfect murder which gets rid of both your spouses.
That's crazy.
Here's my question, Mrs. Mills, and I remind you, you're under oath.
Are you now or did you ever have an affair with Zachary Kingman?
I refuse to answer the question on the grounds that it may incriminate me. This
is preposterous. Victor Kingman, take your seat.
You and Zachary Kingman conspired to kill his wife and frame your husband,
didn't you?
I refuse to answer on the grounds it may incriminate me. Your Honor, I'd ask
that you grant this woman immunity and compel her to answer my question. The
court is not about to grant her immunity, counsel.
She can refuse to answer unless you grant immunity. My clients like it. I am
granting immunity.
This is your husband, Karen.
Are you really going to let him take the fall?
You and Zachary Kingman did this together, didn't you?
I am pleading the Fifth Amendment.
It's Fox.
Nothing, Your Honor.
The witness may step down, but I am ordering you not to leave this
Ms. Dole. The defense rests, Your Honor.
Mr. Fox, rebuttal witnesses.
No, Your Honor.
All right.
As a matter of law, I find that no jury could reasonably deny the existence of
reasonable doubt here.
I am directing a verdict of not guilty. The defendant is free to go.
Adjourned.
I can't believe it. Neither can I.
It's over.
It's over.
You know, we didn't have to take the red -eye. One day, the beach wouldn't have
killed us. Would you forget the beach? Well, that'll be easy, because I never
saw it.
She flipped him.
What? Karen Mills just confessed.
Completely? You're kidding.
You pegged it. They were having an affair.
Karen discovered Dennis' chatroom hobby. She and Kingman decided to use it.
Kingman killed his wife. Now, Karen's looking to plead out on conspiracy and
flip Kingman.
Unbelievable. How did it hit you?
I don't know. When I saw those glasses... I wish I could have seen
when she took the fist.
I forgot to look.
Well, not that I want to make our play, but we should... Come on.
Lindsay?
Dennis?
Did you hear?
We just got off at the DA's office.
How you doing?
I'm still a little shocked.
I'm a minor for loving wife, but I'm not in jail.
Yeah.
Listen, uh, can I talk to you a second?
Yeah, that's about all I have. No, I just, um, I wanted to... I know you're
gonna get back on the plane and tomorrow there's gonna be another client and
another one after that and another one after that, but for this client...
Lindy, when we took that art class, I
remember you saying...
How it was getting tougher and tougher to wake up in the morning and go to work
believing in what you do.
I'll never be able to repay you people for giving me back my life. I don't even
know how to say thank you enough.
But I could offer you this.
Please, believe in what you do.
And believe in what you are.
You're all special people.
