Previously on Picket Fences.
Did Brian Latham admit to killing Susan Ingram? He didn't say it in words, but
he made it clear.
He put that girl in the swamp.
We find the defendant guilty as charged.
Truth time.
I didn't do it.
I filed an appeal with the State Supreme Court and Brian Latham. Instead, they
certified it for immediate appeal to the U .S. Supreme Court.
The highest court in the land.
Let me free the man who murdered my daughter because they don't like the way
caught him.
Please don't lose.
Oh, yay, oh, yay, oh, yay. The Honorable, the Chief Justice and
Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States.
They came in.
What? Our appeal was denied.
It's over.
We've lost.
Matthew, Matthew, honey, put this on the dining room table for me.
No, baby, you tell me when Daddy comes. No, you call me. All right, guys, let's
go. Come on, everybody, let's go. Quiet, quiet. He left 10 minutes ago. He's
going to be here any minute. I want everybody at the dining room table. I
he knows. He doesn't know. He thinks I sent the kids away, and we're going to
have a quiet, candlelight birthday dinner. He does, except that he's been
complaining all day because he says that he feels bloated. I got some milk and
magnesia. He's going to be fine. Yeah, Mom, this birthday's bothering him more
now. He's here. He's here. Okay, let's go. Come on, everybody, let's go. In the
dining room.
And don't forget the plan. Nobody forgets a word, okay?
Henry, we'll sit next to each other. Oh, goody. And we'll sit next to each
other.
Don't say anything. He's coming in, Matthew. You keep everybody quiet for
I'll be right back.
Happy birthday, baby.
My birthday is canceled.
No, not again. No, there's nothing to celebrate. I'm old.
And what have I done with my life?
We go through this every year.
What are you doing? I'm blindfolding you. I set the table in the dining room,
but I don't want you to see it until I've taken off my robe. Jo, please.
Come on. We don't have to do this, do we?
Oh,
this is silly. Just humor me.
Here we go.
Sitting at the table. Here's your chair.
There you go. Sit down. Don't touch that blindfold until I tell you.
Okay?
Now I'm going to go in the kitchen and take off my robe and get the wine. Are
you naked under that robe? Maybe I'll eat you for dinner.
Oh, well, wouldn't that be lovely? Um, don't touch the blindfold.
Oh, get some antacid on your head, please.
I don't feel so good.
51,
birthday Darren.
Probably expecting sex.
Another year or two, my penis will serve no function whatsoever except to
connect my bladder with the outside world.
Almost there. Don't move.
Do me a favor and stay out there a second.
Sure. Just stay there a minute.
Trust me. I'm going to be glad you did.
Boy. I'll let you know when it's safe. Just stay out there.
So what happens now?
We go for sentencing tomorrow.
I'm not optimistic.
I'm going to get life.
There's a very real chance.
Of these matters, Judge Bone is not a lenient person.
Here's the thing.
Contrition does help.
If you go in showing remorse, he might respond.
If you go in clinging to your innocence, he'll hit you hard.
Now, I... I wouldn't suggest that you admit to something that you didn't do.
Brian, we're out of options.
We've been to the Supreme Court. We're out of options.
I didn't kill that girl.
And I won't say I did.
I wouldn't expect you to.
I'm sorry, Brian.
I did everything I could.
I know you tried, Mr. Wambaugh.
I thank you for that.
No. Just let me... You already reopened this case once without permission.
Suppose the guy's innocent. No. Look, it's over, Kenny.
It's gone to the Supreme Court. It's over and done. I don't want you digging
back into this thing. Excuse me, that should not make any difference. If the
guy's innocent, he shouldn't go to jail no matter what. I don't care what the
Supreme Court says.
Thank you. Is that right? All right, all right. What new evidence do you have?
After the trial, Brian Latham told me, Catholic to Catholic, he didn't do it.
I believe him. I know it in my gut. Your gut?
Kenny, your gut is what got this man convicted in the first place.
You said when he told you where the body was, in your gut, you knew that he was
the killer. The guidance counselor at the high school says that Susan Ingalls
fought with her parents all the time.
She told him she thought her parents were crazy.
Every teenager thinks that, especially my daughter. The father came in here
crazy with a gun. Your hunch cannot get this case reopened. Now, you want to
bring me some new evidence? Fine.
Jimmy!
It's all right. It's just gas.
Very funny.
Oh!
Oh, damn it. Oh, right there. Right there. Oh.
Don't. That's okay. What about here?
Yes.
Okay.
You can get up now.
You have a little gastritis.
Probably brought on by the stress of having a birthday.
I'm going to put you on some mild medication. I'm going to watch your
I want you to stay home for a couple of days. I'm not staying home. Jimmy, I
don't want this to turn into an ulcer.
I'm not staying home because of a little gas.
I'm the sheriff.
A little gas, honey?
If the birthday candles hadn't been lit last night, the roof would have blown
off. Judge Bone just left here. I think you singed one of his lungs.
You think that's funny?
That's not funny. Which is why I'm not laughing, Jimmy. What is it?
Birthdays aren't supposed to cause this much anxiety. What's going on?
What if he didn't do it?
Come on, Max, don't you start. John, let's just be honest about something. We
stopped this investigation short. All our work was spent trying to get Latham
convicted. Yeah, because he did it.
You don't think somebody showed up after Brian Latham left?
Maybe she had a boyfriend who found out she was with Latham.
My point is, we didn't look. We just assumed.
Susan Ingrams had no boyfriend. I checked that out.
You did?
Yeah, look.
I interviewed her friends. They told me there was nobody.
She was... Totally religious, very straight, from an extremely religious
There was nothing sinister about her or anybody she kept company with.
But you did some checking just the same because you were so sure.
Extremely religious family?
Devout Catholics?
So?
What are you doing here?
Praying.
My client's best shot.
What's with the yarmulke?
I use it like an ace bandage when I'm thinking deep thoughts.
I don't want to pull a muscle. The two things I worship, Henry, God and the
I think you know that.
But what you don't know is that I've always considered you a hero.
I know you don't like me much.
You insult me, but I've always forgiven it because I knew you were faithful to
the law.
I could always count on you for that until the Latham case.
Brian Latham's statement should have been suppressed.
But you gave in to your emotions and you raped the law.
It was an atrocious abuse of judicial power.
The Supreme Court stood behind my decision. The Supreme Court changed the
which they were entitled to do.
You weren't.
You played cowboy on the bench.
And because of that, an innocent man is going to spend the rest of his life in
jail. You bend and twist and talk the law every time you walk into a
I straddled the line, Henry.
But I never step over it.
You did.
And that makes you a bad judge.
Let me tell you something.
My love for the law and what I do has always been in some small part
because of you.
You've made it noble.
Maybe that's why this hurts the way it does.
You were a bad judge.
Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
It had been a while since my last confession.
How may I help you, my child?
Well, first, I know this is sealed, but I have to make sure.
You won't repeat what I say, no matter what I tell you. You won't reveal it to
anybody, no matter what.
Right?
The confession is sealed, my child.
Okay.
I committed murder.
You did what?
Susan Ingram.
I was the one who killed her.
I stabbed her.
Is that right?
I've been having a lot of fights with her lately.
Maybe I loved her too much, you know?
I loved her like a daughter.
Like a daughter.
And in a wild fit of rage, acting like, I don't know, her father,
I chopped off her finger, then I killed her.
Now, you'll sit on that, right?
Somebody confesses to a murder.
You won't tell anybody if you get that admission in this little booth, right,
Father?
The confession is sealed.
Even if they try and convict the wrong man, you still have to stay silent,
you?
That's your professional vow.
You don't tell.
Open the screen, father.
Open it.
I know he told you.
He's an extremely religious man. He never misses mass. You're his priest.
I have witnesses that saw him go into this booth.
John Ingram killed his daughter.
And I know he told you.
Get out. Father.
I said, get out.
I saw it in his eyes. Father Barrett... Oh, come on.
Think about it, Jimmy. We know that John Ingrams is a violent man. He tried to
shoot Ryan Latham in his cell.
The kid killed his daughter. So he wants us to think.
We also found the father's hair and fibers in the car.
It was his car.
Why don't you want to investigate?
We did investigate. We tried and convicted the killer.
The case...
It's closed.
Jimmy, no offense, but as a deputy in this department, I'm embarrassed.
Me too.
We never even checked out the possibility of somebody else. We were
We got a quick, coerced statement, then we rested.
Well, we may very well have blown it.
I can't live with that.
How can you?
You want to reopen?
Fine.
It's your case.
You handle it.
Thank you.
You won't be sorry.
What can I do?
Maybe delay the sentencing or stay the verdict. I don't know. Something.
What exactly did the priest tell you?
Nothing. But I could tell he knew what I was talking about.
Forgive me.
But when it comes to judging character, you are not Solomon.
Your Honor, I know that John Ingrams confessed the murder to Father Barrett.
just know it.
Even if you're right, it doesn't make any difference.
How can it make no difference?
I know Gary Barrett very well.
He would never reveal the content of any confession.
Even if he did, it's privileged.
It can't be used against the confessor.
An innocent man could be serving a life sentence.
You people are supposed to do the investigating before the trial.
That's how it works, damn it. I helped put this kid away relying on you.
Let's just take a step back. It's too late. There's no new evidence here. I
can't reopen on this. There has got to be some... Look, we're the ones that put
this kid away. The cop, the DA, the judge. It was the three of us.
Now, if we suddenly have doubts, how can we not fix this thing?
Because the system has the life of its own, counsel.
And the system is bigger than the three of us.
The confession has no legal validity.
Without new evidence, I can't undo a verdict.
Which means that kid is trapped.
Sheriff Brock.
There's a rumor going around.
The investigation may be reopened.
We're just checking a few things.
How can you do this?
We're trying to put it all behind us and you keep turning it back up.
Mrs. Ingrams, I believe Ron Latham killed your daughter.
But if he didn't, I would think he would want to reopen it.
Of course.
We just want to move on from this, that's all.
Of course.
Excuse me.
Okay, now hold still.
I hope you'll take a deep breath.
This isn't necessary.
I just wanted to rule out gallstones, which I now can.
Good.
Okay, we're done.
Jimmy, this is just anxiety -induced.
What's the deal, hmm?
Brian Latham is the guy, I'm sure of it.
But Max is right, we didn't investigate.
The public wanted this thing solved, so we gave them a quick solve.
But whether we got the right guy or not... I didn't do the job.
I don't know what you're looking to gain, Henry.
But if it has anything to do with Deputy Stewart's psychotic episode in my
confessional... Gary, Deputy Stewart said she thought she saw something in
eyes.
Since I've known you more than 20 years, I figure, well, if
there's something there, I'd be able to see it too.
Look at me, Gary.
You've been a very depressed man of late.
And for someone so fascinated with community affairs,
I found your absence from the Latham trial to be quite conspicuous.
Extraordinary, really.
I think something's tearing you up.
Henry, there's absolutely no way in which you're going to get me to say
anything.
None.
A man is about to appear before me to be sentenced for killing a girl.
I'm not quite sure he killed.
He may have to spend the rest of his life behind bars.
A God -loving young man who revealed the whereabouts of a body so that she might
have a Christian burial.
If he's innocent, it can't be God's plan to see him punished
this way.
I'm not asking you to divulge anything that was said to you in a confession.
I don't care who you spoke to.
All I want to know, do you believe Brian Latham killed Susan Ingrams?
I have to meet my maker one day, Gary.
I don't want to be jailing an innocent boy for the rest of his life.
I need guidance.
Did Brian Latham, in your opinion, murder Susan Ingram?
For God's sake, help me.
Did Brian Latham kill Susan Ingram?
In my opinion.
He did not.
My God.
I'll talk to you all later. I'll give you a statement later.
Case number 32666. People versus Brian Latham on the matter of sentencing.
Douglas Mambo appearing for the defendant.
Before being heard on sentencing.
I would like to read a short poem by Rudyard Kipling.
Denied. Sit down.
Mr. Latham, stand up.
I hope he gets the electric chair.
Can't. This is Wisconsin.
No death penalty.
You stand convicted of a heinous crime.
For sentencing purposes, I reviewed the transcripts and evidences looking for
circumstances of possible mitigation.
In so doing, I was occasioned to re -examine the weight of all the submitted
evidence. And during that re -examination, I found that the jury's
not supported by the facts.
Accordingly, I set aside that verdict and instead direct a verdict of not
guilty. The defendant is free to go. Adjourned.
Dear God in heaven.
What happened?
It's over. You're free.
I don't go to jail? You're a free man.
Now, listen to me. I will explain to you what happened. What explanation?
There is one. Now, I know it's hard for you to see at the moment, but don't
worry yet.
There's a plan to all this madness, all right? But you have to trust me a little
bit. Now, Deputy, I want you to take Mr. Ingrams back to my office.
I want a quiet place to talk.
Now, I promise you, I will make sense of all of this. This is just legal
maneuvering. I will make sure of it.
I'll see you back at my office.
What the hell are you going to tell him? I have a plan.
First, I got to hear from you.
What happened?
Did Father Barrett tell you that... I don't need to tell you anything.
I think Latham's innocent.
That's all you get from me.
Your Honor, I need to know... Read my lips.
Forget it.
All right.
Look, Mr. Ingram is not a suspect at this time.
As soon as you leave this room, you get on the radio, you make sure Kenny has
that message.
Mr. Ingram goes into my office as a citizen.
What are you up to? I'll tell you later.
I want a search warrant for the Ingram's house. There may be more evidence
there. What grounds?
The victim lived there.
We found the father's hair and fibers in the car. We have grounds.
I'll give you a warrant to search, but not to arrest.
All right. You've got nothing on the man.
Well, not yet, but I will.
I'm so confused. I just... What happened?
I'm not sure.
There's a rumor that somebody else confessed.
Maybe the father.
But it doesn't matter.
And the judge, he can just overrule the jury in the Supreme Court?
On the facts, yes.
What happens if he changes his mind again? He can't. Double jeopardy. You're
free, Brian.
It's final no matter what.
I want to thank you both so much for not giving up on me.
I've done a lot of dumb things all my life, but staying with you, that was
smart.
Good luck, son.
What is this big plan?
Just wish me luck. Got no evidence that this better work. Just wish me luck.
Okay. Good luck.
What's going on? What the hell is... Have a seat, Mr. Ingrams.
Want some water? No.
I think you want a glass of water.
Father Barrett told us you confessed to killing your daughter.
What?
He's on his way over here right now to make an official statement.
First of all, anything said in a confession is privileged.
Can't be used in a criminal trial.
Are you a lawyer, Mr. Ingram?
No. Well, it's funny you should know that particular law.
Let me make something clear to you first.
At this very moment, you're not being held.
Until we get that official statement, we've got nothing to hold you on.
So if you want to get up and walk out that door, you're completely free to do
so. I can't stop you, and I won't.
You want to stay and have a conversation, we can do that too.
I know what you're doing.
You're not holding me officially, so you don't have to give me Miranda or a
lawyer.
Again, I'm impressed.
For a layperson, you seem to have a firm grasp of your constitutional rights.
Go on.
You're free to go. Get out of here.
You hear what I have to say. It's your choice.
I'm listening.
True.
What you said to the priest can't be used against you.
But there's no poisonous fruits rule on religious confession.
What we dig up as a result of learning what you said to that priest, that's all
legally admissible evidence.
But of course you already knew that.
Here's the punchline.
We will devote every waking man hour of every day, as long as it takes, to
unearth the evidence to nail you.
I'll start with exhuming the body.
We're searching your house as we speak.
I'm also going to call in the FBI for assistance.
Yeah, I'm going to get you, Mr.
Ingrams. It may be tough, but I will get you.
Now, you can make it easy.
You give me a statement right now, and I'll make it easy for you.
I'll agree to heat of passion. It'll beat down the charges a little.
I'm offering you a chance right now to help yourself. This is the very last
offer you're going to get.
You embarrassed this department.
We tried the wrong man. You made us look bad. I don't like that.
Now you help me fix it quickly, and I'll give you a break.
You make me work hard, and I will see to it that you rot in jail till your very
last wisp of a breath.
Help me or don't, your choice.
Am I free to go?
Yeah. Goodbye.
I had him, Jimmy. I was so close. He was about to crack. I had him. The search
has come up empty so far. Should we exhume?
No, Carter went over that body with a Q -tip. We're not going to find anything
else. I want the threat of digging her back up to pressure Ingrams.
Where's Father Barrett? In protective custody, like you said.
Good. I don't want Ingrams to get anywhere near him. He has to be thinking
Father Barrett gave us that statement.
I want to dredge up the pond again. Maybe there's something else down there.
No, Kenny, you do that. Max, I want you to take a crack at Miss Ingram. See if
you can break her.
She's got to know if her husband did this.
Sheriff, go to the Ingrams' house and arrest both of them.
On what?
On our suspicion.
I don't care. I want to tighten the vice.
Then when they get in here, I want Mr. Ingram isolated from Mrs. Ingram.
It'll give us a better chance of breaking her.
We can do this. We can.
And when you arrest them, scare the hell out of them. Shake them up, especially
her. We got to soften her up for Max.
All right?
Okay, let's move.
Let go!
You gotta make this look good.
Don't worry about me.
Don't you hit anyone.
Don't worry about me.
Hands against the wall, sir. Over here. What are you talking about? What are you
doing here? Put your hands against the wall. What's the problem? You're under
arrest for murdering Susan Ingram. You have the right to remain silent if you
give up the right to remain silent. You're under arrest for hitting and
the murder of Susan Ingram. Let's go.
Why don't you let me come in here like this?
Wait until you get the door. Open the back door.
I want a lawyer. You need one. Put him in a cell. Take her to interrogation. I
haven't done anything. I don't care.
Hey,
you're on.
You ready?
Ready.
It's all up to you now, Mac.
Okay. Okay. You are on her side. She's got to trust you. You're the only one
can help her now.
I got it. All right.
I ran a check on her. She underwent some psychiatric treatment a couple years
ago, which means her mind's probably a little fragile.
That explains why she could cover for her husband. That's also something that
can be exploited by you now.
Okay. All right.
I wish I could tell you everything's okay.
It's not.
Should I have a lawyer?
Probably.
But we're not after you, Mrs. Ingrams.
We know your husband confessed to the priest.
But we need you to make a statement.
We need you to tell us what happened.
Don't I have a right not to?
You know, he's my husband. I have rights that say that I don't have to say
anything to hurt him. Yes, you have those rights.
You want to protect your husband, I understand.
What about your daughter?
He did this to her.
To your daughter.
This isn't just somebody snapping.
There were 11 stab wounds.
Susan came to a vicious and horrible death because of that man. How can you
to protect him? He took your daughter away.
Look at what he did.
He's not an evil man.
He's really not.
Oh, he's very evil.
Do this.
He's either very evil or very thick.
Either way, you're not safe with him.
What if he should turn that knife on you?
He never would.
No. If he thought that your conscience might get the better of you, you know
he would.
And right now, I'm looking at a woman with a conscience.
I'm looking at a woman who's going to have a hard time living with what she
knows.
And if your husband sees what I'm seeing right now, why wouldn't he turn that
knife on you?
It's time to face the truth, Mrs. Ingram.
Do what you know you have to do.
What if I knew and helped cover things up?
Do I go to jail for that?
No. If you testify against your husband, we will give you immunity.
We can help you, but you have to help us.
I've already lost my daughter.
If I lose John, what have I got?
What have you really got now?
Did your husband kill your daughter, Mrs. Ingrams?
We need you to say that in court.
Will you say that in court?
We need you.
Will you help us?
Okay.
Complete immunity.
I don't want you coming in sideways with any of your reckless endangerment
charges. Don't worry.
Mrs. Ingram, we're going to court for the arraignment and preliminary
examination. It shouldn't take more than about an hour.
I suspect your husband will be held with no bail, so we're going to try and
shield you from him in the courtroom.
I have to testify today?
I'm sorry. Your statement is the only evidence we have so far, so we can't
the charges stick unless you take this. Stand.
We'll try to make it as quick as possible.
The net was right where she said it was. Good. Get it to the lab.
Max, call Carter, okay? I do want to exhume. And then get to court, because I
want you there as support for her.
Done. Your hand's off me. Here he comes.
Okay, keep her in there. And block the view. I don't want him to see her.
It doesn't work.
You know that?
It doesn't? It doesn't work, Monterey. Come on, John.
I'll see you in court, sir. This doesn't work, Monterey!
Call Carter and make sure that he knows we got a knife.
All right, let's go. We don't have a lot of time.
Okay.
I'm in the way.
Excuse me?
Max, Kenny, Littleton.
I can see the fire in their eyes. Fire that used to be in my eyes.
Now I'm just getting in their way.
Sounds like more of the birthday bloop to me.
The other night at the dinner table, it was just a metaphor, Jill.
A bunch of people hoist to spring.
And I'm just a feeble old fart.
Oh, Jimmy, I walked in that room, and judging from the air quality, I would
you're still a very potent man.
An innocent man almost went to jail for the rest of his life because... I think
this town needs a new sheriff.
Jimmy. Rome isn't a quiet little town anymore.
Shoplifting used to be the biggest crime here. Things have changed. I've had to
order new weapons, new riot gear.
Kenny and Max have the fire.
Maybe the best thing I could do is get out of their way.
There was this huge fight.
We were all involved, really, but... Well, John and Susan, they were
angry with each other. What happened after the argument?
Well, Susan ran out.
We thought she would come back like always, but after an hour she hadn't, so
went looking for her.
Both of you?
We knew she liked to go to this pond, especially when she was upset.
We saw her car parked there, up on the shoulder by the road.
I know this is difficult for you, Mrs. Inglis.
We got out and we looked in the car and saw all these beer cans
and... John, he just kind of...
Well, he was so upset.
I told him, wait by the car, I'll go down and get Susan, which I did.
And I found her down by the pond.
And then what happened?
She and I, we got into another argument and... Do I
have to say what I did?
That's not really what's important, is it? Well, the whole point of immunity,
Mrs. Ingrams, is so that you can tell us everything.
Okay.
Well...
Susan got mad at me.
And then... I don't know. The next thing I know, it just happened.
What happened?
I took the knife out of my purse.
Wait a second. You produced the knife?
I knew there would be trouble.
And there was.
My daughter became totally abusive all over again. She could be evil.
So, I stabbed her. What?
I just lost control.
I started swinging with the knife, and John heard the screams, and he came.
He pulled me off her, but she was... I killed her.
Previously,
you said your husband killed her.
I was afraid.
But then when you offered me immunity, I thought I should tell the truth.
Counsel in chambers.
Now!
What the hell have you done now?
She lied to me. I can't believe it.
She was covering for him. Not to betray a client's confidence, but Mrs. Ingram's
was the killer.
Your Honor...
My client participated in the cover -up. He had nothing whatsoever to do with
the murder.
Now, John Ingrams told Father Barrett all of this, that his wife committed
murder, and he helped to cover it up.
What did Father Barrett tell you?
He didn't say anything about Mr. Ingrams.
There is some history, Your Honor. She's had psychotic episodes in the past, and
nothing, of course, like this.
Well, she doesn't get immunity anymore.
We're going to use her profit. It's only good for impeachment.
Her testimony is covered.
I think she goes free.
Oh, my God.
Everybody get out.
I'll take the bench in ten minutes. Please, please get out.
And we can't even go after her?
I don't think so. But she lied to us. It doesn't matter. We gave her full youth
and unity. She can...
I can't believe this has happened.
So it must have happened the way Brian Latham said. They went to the pond, then
after he left her, she went back to the pond.
I promise you, I didn't know she was going to say that. She lied to me, too.
I know, Doug, I know.
Be seated.
Well, well, well.
Things didn't go exactly as planned today.
Mrs. Ingram's was granted...
Use immunity.
That legally bars any prosecution against her based on her testimony or
fruits.
Obviously, nobody knew she was going to testify as she did.
But that doesn't matter.
The law's the law.
And here I am again, forced with having to uphold the
law.
and free a killer.
I was so repulsed by that notion the last time, I jumped the Constitution and
sent the killer to trial, where he was convicted.
Only, he turned out not to be the killer.
Maybe that's what happens when officers of the court get reckless and forsake
the law.
The wrong people get convicted.
Like Mr. Wombau correctly pointed out, I was a lousy judge the first time
around.
Well, I've gotten worse.
Because if upholding the law is going to put Mrs. Ingrams back on the street,
then I'm putrid.
They'll have to drag me off the bench and put me in a rubber room before I'll
set you free, lady.
You killed your own daughter.
You were going to let that man rot in jail.
Well, he's out and you're in.
Here's the ruling from the lousy judge.
An immunity agreement is a form of a contract.
It involves a meeting of the minds.
Fraud vitiates any contract.
You committed fraud.
I thereby declare the immunity agreement invalid.
Deputy Stewart, place that woman under arrest.
Throw her in lockup, and let's see that she gets her constitutional right to a
speedy trial.
Mr. Wambaugh, any objections?
None. Permission to withdraw as counsel.
Granted. Everybody get out.
I wish I could play as loose with my covenants as you do yours.
We wear different robes.
I may have to swing by confession, Father.
Come to communion.
I'll break out the good stuff.
I never would have broken my rules.
But because you broke yours, I sleep a little better.
God bless you, Henry.
I'll take it.
I still can't believe that woman lied as well as she did.
Did you see the look on my face when she said that? Did you see Bone's face?
Guess what? I found out that Mrs. Ingram had been institutionalized six years
ago. Why did we never check on that?
We didn't check anything out.
Look, I'm going after this guy for obstruction of justice, aiding and
and I'm going to push for attempted murder. No, but he didn't fire.
He would have if Kenny hadn't shot him. Oh, right. Kenny's a super cop.
Give it up. Give it up.
We need another round.
Wait, wait, wait. I got a question. Drink up. What if he's lying?
Oh.
No, it's over.
It's over. We should ask Jimmy. We should ask Jimmy after this. Wait, wait.
that another round. Jimmy.
