Here.

And now, switching to local news, our
man on the street, live from the Fulton

County Courthouse.

Mrs.

McIntyre, can we get a comment? You must
be pleased.

Were you surprised with the jury's
verdict?

I'm never surprised in a huddle.

And if you believe that, there's a
bridge just north of here you might be

interested in buying.

Donuts get a bad rap.

Yeah, Greg, donuts are a terribly
misunderstood health food.

Look here.

Here's your basic jelly donut.

Here's your fruit. Everybody knows that
fruit's good for you. It's got your

carbos. You have carbos.

Who's the babe?

A woman I saw the other day.

Lawyer. Pretty face.

How's the rest of her?

Good. She works out four mornings a week
and at nights when she can.

You dating her?

No. You know her?

Not yet.

There's a small matter we need to
discuss.

You didn't speak to Matthew Lyons. He is
now three weeks late on 200K.

He's paid us before.

Give him some slack.

Our employer is impatient.

He'd like you to make that eminently
clear to Mr. Lyons.

I want out, Greg.

The boss won't like it.

And what about the $150 ,000 a year you
make tax -free? And this house?

How are you going to rent it?

I can do without it.

And I'll take care of Mr. Lyons.

A couple of days.

This is the last one.

Fine. Just do it soon.

Yeah, how much it set you back at that
gym?

$50 a month.

$50 a month?

That's about a dollar and a half a day.
You spend more than that on a hot dog at

lunch.

$50 a month.

Dad, I came to ask you a favor.

What?

If you don't mind, I would love to give
the closing argument.

Okay. Thanks.

What do you do at that gym?

Well, I usually start out with a stair
climbing machine.

I got stairs here.

You can run up and down them for free.
Save you $600.

Here.

Then I, uh, ride the stationary bike.

What's the matter with the bike I gave
you?

Gave me that when I was 12.

This is state -of -the -art equipment.

Boy, you are just kicking and screaming
your way into the 90s, aren't you? What

are you talking about?

You hate change.

Practically had to put you in a headlock
to get a computer.

You've been wearing the same suit for 20
years.

I like my suit. It fits me perfect.

I know, all seven of them.

Dad, don't you think it's time for a
change?

No.

That suit is outdated. You are so much
more energetic and vibrant than that

gives off.

No, I'm not. Come on, Dad. Let me take
you shopping. Please, we'll buy you a

suit. I hate to go shopping.

And they don't make suits like mine
anymore.

No argument there.

Yes, I'd like to report a robbery,
please.

Leanne?

Hey, Pop.

Leanne?

Pop? Oh, are you all right? Yeah, they
took my jewelry and that silver frame

with the picture of us in it.

No, it's not.

Ben, no.

Listen, who knows? Maybe we'll get
lucky.

Great.

Stay at my house tonight.

I'll let you run up and down the stairs
free.

I'll be okay, Dad. They're not going to
come back.

Before I go, would you take one last
look at this inventory of things taken?

I think that's it.

March 4th.

I read a poem today by a poet named
James Cavanaugh.

It was about friendship.

There was a passage in it that really
touched me.

Will you be my friend?

A friend who far beyond the feebleness
of any vow or tie will touch the secret

place where I am really I.

To know the pain of lips that plead and
eyes that weep.

who will not run away when you find me
in the street.

Will you be my friend?

The police didn't find any cash in the
defendant's possession when they

his car.

The defendant's fingerprints

were not found in the Crestmore Bank.

In fact, there is not one shred of
forensic evidence that places the

defendant anywhere near the Crestmore
Bank on the night of the robbery.

So I have to ask you, is there
reasonable doubt that the defendant

committed this crime?

I think there's plenty of it.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, it is
now time for the judge to instruct you

in the law that applies to this case.

Who taught you how to give a closing
argument?

You did.

No wonder I like you so much.

Leanne McIntyre. Kevin Gillian.

I'm sorry, do we know each other?

Did you get the message I left on your
answering machine at home?

No, I didn't. And if you're looking for
an attorney, right now isn't a good

time. No, no, no, no. I'm a writer.

I'm doing an article for Georgia Today
magazine called Women in the Courtroom.

I'm profiling some of Atlanta's
prominent female attorneys, and I was

you'd let me interview you.

Oh, Georgia Today.

Mr... Gilliam. What I was about to say,
Mr. Gilliam, is this isn't a good time

for me to commit to anything right now.
I'm very busy.

No problem.

Why don't I call you in a day or two?
Maybe things will have eased up.

That'd be fine.

It was nice meeting you both. Nice
meeting you.

It's Georgia today.

That's top droll.

We'll see, Pop.

Want to go shopping?

You want to go shopping? Well, I found a
silver picture frame like that one that

was taken, and I thought I'd get it for
you, maybe cheer you up.

I love you, Pop.

But you know what? I feel like if I
start replacing the things that were

I'm just admitting that I've given up
hope of ever getting anything back.

I guess I can understand that.

You really want to cheer me up?

You know I do.

Great.

Let's go buy you a new suit.

That'd just thrill me.

Oh, this is a nice one.

Too heavy. Make me sweat.

Why do you hate this so much?

Well, first of all, I don't need a new
suit.

Oh, here we go.

And then I have to go in one of these
little rooms and try it on.

And they got pins all over the floor and
these little doors.

The doors on the dressing room, Bobby?
They come down to my knees. And you know

I've got chicken legs. We have great
legs.

Could I be of some assistance?

What kind of suit are you looking for?
Something that won't wrinkle.

My dad is a conservative dresser.

Do you have anything in a classic cut?
Maybe a dark wool blend of some kind?

know, we just got in the most fabulous
suit.

Uh... Rudolfo Stefanelli.

In my opinion, the finest designer in
Europe today.

What do you think?

I paid less for my first house.

I think you'll love this cut.

What is it?

Half off.

Try this on right now.

September 9th.

I had the most bizarre reaction today.

I was in Tattinger's lingerie shop, and
I was staring at the sexiest piece of

lingerie I think I'd ever seen.

$600.

I almost bought it, too.

But there was this little voice inside
of me that kept saying, Leanne, there is

something wrong with a woman buying
herself expensive lingerie.

Okay, okay, okay. You drive a hard
bargain. I'll only write glowing things

you, and I'll list your age as five
years younger than you really are.

You remember me, don't you?

Well, it's hard not to. You happen to be
wearing my favorite men's cologne.

Okay, we're compatible.

Come on, Leanne. Let me interview you.

How long will this take?

That depends on how completely and
thoroughly engaging you are.

Great. It'll be short.

Leanne? I'm right here, Gary. Oh,
Jerry's in. I'll be right there.

I can do it. How about three this
afternoon?

Perfect. It's a beautiful day out.

Let's say we meet at Fryman Park.

Great. Okay, I'll pick up some pastries.
Do you like Linzer Tort?

Excuse me?

I was asking you if you like Linzer
Tort.

I make Linzer Tort. It's my favorite
dessert.

How about that?

Well, I'll see you around three.

That's amazing.

Members of the jury, have you reached a
verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

We find the defendant, Stephen Dixon,
guilty.

The defendant will return to this
courtroom at 9 o 'clock on the 10th of

month for sentencing.

This court is adjourned.

I guess I oversold the Linzer tort.

You know, I probably should have
postponed this.

Do you always get this upset when you
lose?

Only when I'm sure my client didn't do
it.

You really care, don't you?

Yeah.

Has anyone ever told you you have
beautiful skin?

Thank you.

Great eyes.

It must be difficult for you to have
much of a social... Life, with the heavy

work schedule you keep.

Well, I make time for the things that
are important to me.

Does that mean you're dating anyone
regularly?

Are you doing an article on me as a
lawyer, or are you coming on to me?

It's just a question. No, it wasn't just
a question. It was a pass.

And I really don't appreciate you
misrepresenting yourself to me. Leanne,

wasn't coming on to you. You know what,
Karen?

The interview is over.

Enjoy the tour.

Where have you been all day?

Catching up with the mirror.

Nice thread.

Cologne. Have a hot date, my man.

Yeah, I had a date.

Kinda. How do I feel like you're wasting
your time?

You're writing your memoirs.

I stole her diary.

You're not a burglar.

I want to know everything I can about
Leanne.

Leanne?

Yes, McIntyre. Why do you want to know
so much about Leanne McIntyre?

It's important to me.

How's Mr. Lyons feeling?

I haven't done it.

I know.

I told you I would do it this one last
time.

You tell the boss.

I want to be clean.

Forget the girl, Kev.

And don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Mr. Lyons.

I'll have it all in 48 hours, no
problem.

I promise.

If you give me half of it now, maybe I
could buy you some time. Just tell them

I'll have the money on Thursday.

I don't want to hurt you.

I don't have it, Kevin, please.

I've got to break something.

Don't.

I've got more orders.

Sir, I have the money in 48 hours.

Can we start this over again?

I hated what happened today.

This really isn't necessary.

Yes, it is.

Because I was coming on to you.

I guess I was just overwhelmed with this
attraction I was feeling for you and...

I responded badly.

Would you like to come in?

If I'd known, I was going to upset you.
You know, it was just bad timing.

And I probably overreacted, too.

It's just been a rough couple of days.

Something you can talk about?

Want to sit down?

My place was burglarized the other day.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Well, the insurance will reimburse me.

I mostly took costume jewelry.

Nothing worth much except for a couple
of pieces my mom gave me.

And those I'll never replace.

And then, last night, I discovered that
my diary was gone.

You think it was stolen?

No, it's missing.

I keep it in that drawer every night.

Anyway, enough about that.

Looks like a book.

Shall I open it?

Absolutely. He's one of my favorite
poets.

James Cavanaugh.

You've heard of him? Oh, I love this
man's work. I can't believe you know

Thank you.

You're very welcome.

You want to stay for dinner?

I was just making myself a salad. It'll
feed five.

Well, I have a better idea.

Let me take you out to dinner.

I promise I'll behave, and we can do the
interview.

Okay.

Let me just go change.

Take your time.

Oh, damn it.

Are you okay?

Leanne?

Is everything all right?

It's gone.

What?

My grandmother's brooch.

Gave it to me on my 16th birthday.

I'm sorry.

It was on this jacket.

It was the first piece of jewelry my
grandfather ever bought for her.

Well, this guy's really changed my life.

Changes the way I breathe when I walk
into my own house.

The way I sleep.

The way I think.

Do you

think

juries look at you differently than they
do male trial lawyers?

Some do, there's no question.

When my dad is attacking a witness's
testimony, I love to watch the jurors'

faces. They seem almost mesmerized
sometimes.

I can't act like that.

Juries don't like that kind of
aggressiveness in a woman. It's not

I can see that in their faces.

Don't you resent that?

Yes, but I'll let it go.

You want to know a secret?

I try to act like my dad.

Sometimes it works, and sometimes I just
can't pull it off.

Okay, so you must be getting bored
hearing me go on about myself.

Hardly.

What about you?

Did you always want to be a writer?

No one grows up dreaming of being a
writer for Georgia Today magazine.

Okay, so what did you want to be when
you grew up?

You won't laugh?

An actor?

Are you serious?

You didn't see Phantom?

You were in Phantom of the Opera?

No, but I did think a production of the
Magic Flute in Sewickley, Pennsylvania.

What are you smiling about?

I was gonna do it again.

Do what?

I can't believe this. I feel like a
school kid.

I wanted to hold your hand.

Lyons squared up today.

Good.

I told you I'd take care of Mr. Lyons,
and I did that.

Now I'm through.

What the hell's wrong with you? Are you
nuts?

Maybe. You're a thug, Kevin. She's a
lawyer, a lawyer whose house you ripped

off. You think you're gonna marry her
now?

Yeah. No.

Consider me retired.

Giving up the business, are we? Going
straight... Get out of here, Greg.

You made $150 ,000 last year, Tiger.
What are you going to do? Wait tables?

You need a shrink, man.

I'll see you in a couple hours. I got a
bail hearing.

I won't be here. I'm going to meet Kevin
at the beach.

That must be some long article he's
writing.

Where's your new suit?

In my closet.

Why?

That's where I keep all my new suits.

Dad.

We bought that suit for a reason.

I tried to cheer you up, and you do seem
happier.

Go on, Dad.

Go on upstairs and change.

My client is an exemplary member of this
community, and he has been unjustly

accused of these charges.

Mr. Matlock?

Yes, sir?

Are you all right?

I'm fine, sir.

You look different.

For the better or the worse.

I'm not sure.

I saw you in the hall and didn't know
who you were.

Had to ask somebody.

Proceed. Yes, sir.

As I was saying, my client is an
exemplary member of this community, and

no reason in the world to believe
there's any danger of fight.

He has lived in the same house for 15
years, held the same job for 10 years,

and he's anxious to come into this court
so he can clear his good name. Excuse

me.

What's the matter with you, Mr. Matlock?
Is something wrong?

Your Honor, could I just have a ten
-minute recess?

During a bail hearing?

Five minutes. I'll be right back before
you know it. All right.

This court will remain in recess for
five minutes.

That's why I didn't know you, Mr.
Matlock. Yes, sir.

You okay now?

All perfect.

Just like my old seltzer.

As others say... I'll give you $5 and we
can stop running.

Come on, 50 more yards, six minutes.
Let's go.

Come on.

I gotta stop.

You're killing me.

Tell me you thought that was exhausting.

That was exhausting.

I gotta get something to drink.

Come on, we'll call the paramedics from
over there.

All right, yeah.

Tim,

please. This way.

We gotta get out of here.

It's one of the biggest bores that ever
met. If we sit down, he'll never leave

us alone. All right.

Thanks anyway.

You were so quiet at dinner. You seemed
sort of sad.

I'm sorry.

Maybe it's the realization that my
dreams of winning the decathlon were

shattered today on that beach.

Want to come in?

I should go. It's late.

Got the decaf? We could talk a while.

About what?

This and that.

And that could take all night.

What's wrong?

It's complicated.

Are you married?

If it were only that simple.

Well, what is it?

This wasn't a good idea.

Pop. Hi.

How was dinner last night?

I'm going to save you a whole lot of
questions. I don't think I'm going to be

seeing Kevin anymore.

What happened?

Well... What are you doing?

I'm taking a suit back.

Why?

It didn't work out.

It didn't work out. What does that mean?

Doesn't fit?

It fits. It just doesn't fit me.

You can't take it back.

I only wore it once. They altered it.

I'll rip out the stitches.

It'll be like new.

I bought you something.

What's this for? Nothing.

Oh, damn.

You didn't have to replace the picture,
Frank. I know you didn't want to start

replacing things, but I just thought...
Thank you.

I read a poem today by a poet named
James Cavanaugh.

It was about friendship.

Like a book?

Shall I open it?

Absolutely.

He's one of my favorite poets.

James Cavanaugh.

You've heard of him?

I love this man's work. I can't believe
you know him.

I'm bundled up in grandma's comforter,
drinking hot chocolate, eating my

homemade Linzer tort.

It's a beautiful day. How about we meet
at Fryman Park?

Great. I'll pick up some pastries. Do
you like Linzer tort?

Excuse me?

I was asking you if you like Linzer
tort.

Are you married?

We're only that simple.

Well, what is it?

This wasn't a good idea.

Yes, please. Could I have the number of
Georgia Today magazine?

What the hell?

Leanne.

I want my jewelry back.

Oh, you're very good.

Make a date with me at the park so you
can follow me here? I mean, that's a

of you I would never have guessed.

Maybe if you'd read my entire diary,
this wouldn't have come as such a

to you.

I never read your diary.

Must have gone through that drawer a
dozen times looking for it.

Tell me something.

Do you have the key that I hide outside
the door to put it back?

I wanted to mention to you, I called
Georgia Today magazine.

Nobody there has ever heard of you.

I'm not surprised.

I'm writing the article in speculation.

You're a liar.

I went back to that cafe at the beach,
found out who the man was with the

hand.

How do you live with yourself?

Leah?

Let me just... Let me just make sure
I've got this straight.

In your off hours, you break into
women's homes, rip off their diaries,

then try to become the man you think
they want?

It's completely untrue, Leanne.

Leanne?

When were you going to give this to me?

Excuse me? You know damn well I wrote
about the lingerie from Tattentree's in

diary.

When were you going to give this to me?

Well, you... I'm coming after you.

I don't care how long it takes me.

I'm going to get you for breaking into
my home.

The concern overwhelms me.

It was all just a game for you, wasn't
it?

Leanne.

Leanne!

Before you go, think about this.

This was just a game.

Why didn't I spend the night with you?

I remember talking about this and that.

I could have you know.

Hi. Hi, Dad.

I thought you might be here.

How are you doing?

I'll be okay.

I found something of yours this morning
at my house.

Damn this brooch.

Where'd you find it?

In the couch.

Must have fallen down between the
cushions.

Dad, I haven't worn this brush to your
house in months.

Let's say we go home.

Can we walk for a while?
