All language subtitles for L.A. Law S02E17 Belle of the Bald

Previously on L .A. Law.

I'm thinking of having my client
testify.

Oh, are you crazy?

I'm sorry, Michael, but your client
can't be my concern.

No!

These are porno movies.

I was sexy, wasn't I?

God, yes.

Am I sexy now?

Yes.

You think Rogoff would take me back?

Rogoff would kill to have you back.

What about you?

Well, I guess I'm just a sore loser.

But I'll get over it.

Are we going to kiss and make up?

Sure.

Now.

Okay.

It is a gift to be simple. Hey, Douglas.

Leland.

I'm in need of your wisdom and guidance.

I can help.

I don't know what to do. I'm so
confused.

Seal again, huh?

No, I'm way past that.

This is a matter of far greater
complexity.

I'm in love with another woman.

I'm afraid when it comes to matters of
the heart, Douglas, I'm no more

to offer guidance than the next poor
soul.

I'm wild about her.

I'm obsessed by this naked memory of our
one sexual encounter.

An encounter so intense, so hot.
Douglas, I don't think I should be

this.

Just tell me what to do.

Well, I don't know.

Enjoy yourself.

But she's older than I am.

Well, maturity can be very inviting in a
woman. She's going to be 60.

Douglas, I am extremely uncomfortable
with this conversation.

It's rusty.

Rusty?

Your father's rusty?

Yes.

Oh, boy.

Leland, please. I have no one else to
turn to. I'm sorry. You're on your own.

When does Gracie start back with the
DA's office?

Today's her first day. Any last -minute
misgivings? I think she's ready to hit

the ground running.

What's that thing? That thing is a new
high -speed office shredder which will

set up in the file room.

Sensor Microsystems has retained it with
counsel and insists that we have secure

document disposal procedures.

What's their big secret?

Whatever it is, asking us to shred
sensitive papers isn't an unreasonable

request. I suggest we get into the habit
of disposing of all potentially

damaging client material in like
fashion.

Moving along.

Davidoff versus Davidoff. Yeah, we have
a meeting scheduled for next Wednesday.

I assume you'll be covering stock
valuation, all corporate holdings?

Absolutely. Absolutely. Jonathan, I want
you sitting in with us on this.

Fine. In re the estate of Byron DeBeck.

I am leaving for Eau Claire, Wisconsin,
this afternoon. With any luck, I should

be finished with all my depositions by
Friday.

So, what's the inside poop, Victor?

Tina Benici was left $30 million in
Byron DeBeck's will.

Two of his children are claiming undue
influence and lack of testamentary

capacity. Come on, come on, come on.
Give us the dirt.

Well, Byron DeBeck owned a chain of
theaters.

Tina was hanging around backstage at one
of them doing a rock concert in the

hopes of beating the drummer when Byron
showed up to check on the gates.

Bingo. Uh, what kind of relative ages
are we talking about here, Victor?

Tina was 19 to Byron's 75.

Anyway, they met and they made it, and
for the next eight years, she was his

constant companion.

The two older children, Philip and
Madeline, claimed that she was his

dominatrix, who walked around modeling
various rubber goods that sent Byron

such a frenzy that he would have signed
anything.

I don't think we're talking about
galoshes here. The two younger children,

and Brynn, they claimed that she was a
trusting wife and a loving confidante.

The trouble is, Holly and Brynn are 24
-year -old identical twins who were last

seen in Puerto Vallarta with this man
who keeps them both as his mistresses.

Yeah, and who might that be? Well, all I
know about him right now is that he is

an avid deep -sea fisherman and someone
of weight in the Reagan administration.

What?

That's what I'm hoping to find out when
I go to Eau Claire.

Tina and the twins, they work out with
this acrobatics group that's

headquartered there.

Plenty of snapshots, Victor. I want you
to bring me back plenty of snapshots.

Folks, if we could finish up here.

State of California versus Megan Penny.

Well, they offered me manslaughter. I
turned them down flat. I don't

They have this woman dead to rights.

I disagree.

Well, I'm going to plead temporary
insanity, and I expect to see her walk.

That doesn't sound like what I've been
reading. Yeah, I mean, she killed this

guy like a pro. How are you going to
sell a jury on insanity?

Easy, by hammering on the context in
which it happened.

I mean, how do you think a jury is going
to feel when they find out that there

are close to 40 ,000 people living in
the United States with full diplomatic

immunity? That means that they can
commit arson, rape, robbery, murder, and

be punished.

Fine. What does that have to do with
diminished capacity?

Everything.

Megan Penny was told that because of
diplomatic immunity...

It was basically okay with her
government if this man raped her.

And in fact, it was okay for him to do
it again.

So what's the solution, Mike? Do away
with diplomatic immunity altogether?

Maybe that's not such a bad idea.

Did you ever stop and think what would
happen to American diplomatic personnel

abroad if we did away with immunity?

I'll tell you, I don't have a problem
with an American diplomat getting

sentenced to prison if he commits a
rape. They are still separate issues.

The only issue that I'm concerned with
here is that this woman does not deserve

to spend ten minutes in jail. In other
words, two wrongs make a right.

Please, I did not say that. You know,
you're pandering to the jury, you're

wrapping her up in the flag, and you're
gambling that no one's going to worry

too much about the law.

Look, I am trying to represent a client
as best I can. Now, are you guys going

to wish me luck or what?

It's easy.

You can feed him about a dozen pages at
a time.

You don't have to worry about paperclips
or staples.

The machine just eats him up.

Okay.

Now, Benny...

If the machine jams up, you just push
the stop button here.

Right. Then you push the reverse button
here.

Okay. And the machine should clear
itself.

Uh -huh.

Or else just come and get me.

Okay.

Well, that's about it. Go ahead, give it
a try.

It looks like what you throw out of the
window when they have a parade.

You're right. It makes great confetti.

Is that why we got it?

Not exactly.

We got it so that people can't read
papers after we throw them out.

How come they'd want to?

People always look to get an advantage,
Benny.

If they think they can find out secrets
by digging through the trash, they'll do

it. With the shredder, all they'll find
are quarter -inch strips of paper.

It does it so fast.

Yeah, you can shred about 60 pages a
minute.

Good morning.

Grace, we were just talking about you.

Welcome home.

Thanks. Nice to have you back, Gracie.

Well, it is really good to be back.

So how are things going? You getting
situated?

Yeah, pretty much.

Great. Listen, you tell me how you want
to do it. You want a couple of days to

kind of ease back into things?

No, not a chance.

You want to give her the Murray case?

Oh, Bruce, I don't know.

What is it?

Big murder trial.

I want it.

What do you think?

It's a gift.

Wait a minute.

Oh, come on.

He murdered a swan? In broad daylight,
right in the pond off the 17th T.

Come on, why are we even charging him
with a felony?

PC -487, destruction of property worth
over $400.

I know what the code says, Bruce. I'm
asking, why are you pushing it?

Call it love of swans?

Call it the Beverly Hills Golf Club's
breathing down our necks. Seriously, you

should see the letters from the outraged
members.

The hillside strangler didn't get this
many.

Great.

Look out, Bruce. I think she's going to
quit again.

There's no question here that Megan
Penny killed Wilford Arguello.

Not only does she admit it, but a news
crew got it on tape, and we're going to

show it to you.

The only question here is why she killed
him, and for that, she's claiming

temporary insanity.

But as the facts will show you, ladies
and gentlemen, there was no burst of

insanity here.

This is a case of flat -out revenge,
pure and simple. The victim had raped

three weeks before, and she decided to
get even. There was nothing insane about

the way she purchased the gun and
registered it with the authorities. She

seem nuts when she ascertained the
whereabouts of her victim while planning

murder.

As our psychiatrists will tell you, this
woman's behavior is the product of

cool, reflective thought.

She deliberated over this murder.

She conceived it. She visualized it. She
picked the time, the place, and with

icy precision, she executed it.

That having been said, I'll come clean
and admit right now that this woman is

a victim herself.

The man raped her, the police let him
go, and she had every right to be hurt

angry. But that doesn't change the fact.

that she willfully decided to take the
law into her own hands.

That doesn't change the fact that she
deliberately, methodically, ended the

of another human being.

That makes her a criminal, ladies and
gentlemen.

She may be the most sympathetic murderer
you've ever heard tell of, but she is

nevertheless a murderer.

Okay, that's Wilfred Arguello there,
crossing right in front.

with his back to me, and he's walking
into the crowd.

Now, you can see his face right in the
top middle here.

That's his father, the ambassador, over
on the right, next to the waiter holding

the drinks. Now, after these people pass
through, you'll see Miss Penny come in

on the left side of the screen.

Okay, there she is in the blue dress.

Now, she's going to cross to the right
toward Mr. Arguello, and the rest is

pretty self -explanatory. I'll run it in
slow motion.

Lights, please.

You may continue with your questioning,
Mr. Angeletti.

Did you hear what Ms. Penny was saying
there as they were pulling her away?

Yes. She said, I guess diplomatic
immunity can't stop bullets, can it?

She said it twice.

Thank you, sir.

No further questions.

We were coming up to the 14th T.

Lydia was driving the cart, and I was
writing down our scores.

That's when I heard it, that awful
thwacking sound.

What do you mean by thwacking, Mrs.
Graham?

I mean thwack, thwack. You know,
thwacking.

I see.

Did you have occasion to ascertain the
cause of this noise?

I did.

I turned and saw that hideous person.
Mrs. Graham!

Mrs. Graham, please just state the facts
of the case without any personal

remarks about the defendant.

Jury will disregard the
characterization.

Continue, Mrs. Graham.

That man was just whomping the swan with
a sand wedge.

Oh, the blood, the feathers, the yellow
guts.

Objection! It was a vicious murder.

Mrs. Graham, I am going to ask you
again. Please just state the simple

without any embellishments.

Now, do you think you can do that,
please?

Certainly. Thank you.

You may continue, Miss Van Owen.

What happened next, Mrs. Graham?

I had a reaction.

What kind of reaction?

You may elaborate, Mrs. Graham.

I threw up on Lydia.

You're right. It just gushed out as soon
as I saw the swamp.

Mrs. Graham.

This is unbelievable.

It was that little piece of bill just...

dangling from the club that got me. That
is enough. Sorry, Your Honor. No

further questions.

Boy, was it dead.

Mrs. Graham.

And based upon your examination of Miss
Penny, Doctor, did you make a diagnosis

with respect to her sanity?

Yes, I did.

It was my conclusion that she knew
exactly what she was doing.

There was nothing delusional about her
behavior. No evidence of psychosis.

I think she was completely sane.

Nothing further.

Have you ever been raped, Dr. Klepp?

Objection. That is inflammatory and has
no relevance to the case being tried

here. She claims to know what's going on
inside my client's mind. I am simply

trying to find out if she has been
there.

Objection overruled.

Have you ever had a man force you into
your own apartment at knife point?

No. Ever had a man put a knife to your
throat and threaten to kill you?

No.

Ever had a man make you take all your
clothes off, lie face down on your own

while he sodomized you?

No. And is it your testimony that you
could know what death's like just by

reading about it in medical textbooks?

I didn't say that.

Is it possible, Dr.

Klepp, that if you were raped, violently
raped, and then the police told you

that they let the man go after he had
confessed, is it possible that that just

might make you crazy mad?

I would certainly feel rage, but I don't
think... Thank you, doctor.

Oh, one more question.

Based upon your examination of Miss
Penny, do you think that her release

pose a threat to society?

No, I don't.

No further questions.

Douglas?

Ruffy?

Can we talk a minute, please?

Uh, sure.

Come on in.

Uh, would you like some coffee? No, I'll
only stay a minute.

Hold my calls.

I came because you didn't return any of
my calls.

Ah.

Uh -huh.

I could lie to you, give you some
excuse, but the truth...

Is, uh... You don't want to see me
anymore?

Yes. But not for the reasons you think.

Doesn't matter.

It's okay.

Listen to me.

You're the sexiest woman I've ever
known.

I haven't been able to sleep nights
thinking about you.

It's just... Emotionally, I can't handle
it.

It's too confusing, too intense.

I'm not asking anything from you,
Douglas. I just thought we had fun,

all. Oh, it was more than fun.

It's just who you are.

My father, your son, Errol.

It's just all too complicated.

I don't want to be a complication.

Is there anything I can do?

Anything you need?

I'll be all right.

I just want you to be happy.

Thank you, Rusty.

You're a great lover, honey.

Strong.

Like your father was.

You know where to find me if you want
me.

So I walked down to the pond to retrieve
my ball. I could see it there in the

shallow water.

Suddenly, it just started coming at me.

It, meaning the swan? I know how crazy
it sounds, but it was just charging

me with this dreadful honking sound.

It scared the life out of me.

Then what did you do?

Well, I just swung my club to fend it
off.

I'm not kidding. I was terrified.

I hit it once, like... And then I think
I caught it again when I

brought the club back, and I must have
gotten it on the head because he just

kind of dropped in the water.

Mr. Murray, you heard Mrs. Graham's
testimony that you repeatedly whomped

swan. No, no, it's just not true. I
mean, I did hit him, and yes, I did

accidentally, you know, kill it.

But it was purely self -defense. I would
never kill an animal intentionally. My

God. Especially something so beautiful
as a swan. Anyone who knows me knows

that. Thank you, sir.

No further questions.

You had a thousand dollar bet on this
golf match, didn't you?

Yes. And when you hit your ball into the
pond on the 17th hole, you screamed it

was the swan's fault. Isn't that right?

No. It honked during my backswing. So
you charged it in a fit of rage, didn't

you? No, no. I just went to retrieve my
ball.

Mr. Murray, you ruined these plaques and
these shoes to fetch a $2 golf ball?

I never intended to go in. I must have
just slipped in when it scared me. Oh,

yes.

The dreadful, frightening honking.

Well, it's the truth.

Objection. The jury's entitled to hear
the sound that supposedly... That is a

duck call. It is completely irrelevant.

It is a goose call, which fairly
resembles the swan mating sound. It was

looking to mate, believe me. Quiet,
everybody.

Mr. Reutemann, I don't see the harm.
Thank you, Your Honor.

Is that what scared you, sir?

No, it was much worse than that little
chirp.

Here's one for you.

Why don't you show us? Fine, I will.

Your Honor, may I?

Why not?

Well, it was huge.

Its wingspan must have been eight feet
across.

And it was just coming at me, wild and
crazy sounding like this.

Motion to strike his honk, Judge.

Objection! You gave it to him.

It's inaccurate.

Swans honk in little shorter bursts like
this.

What the hell? I object, Your Honor.
She's testifying.

She has no confidence to surrender swan
impersonations in a court of law.

Everybody shut up.

I said shut up!

Counsel in my chambers.

Now. Are you having a good time?

The fact that it's Philly is exactly my
point, Your Honor. Nobody could be

threatened by those sounds.

Can't you plead the stupid thing?

Your Honor, my client is innocent.

I have a rebuttal witness tomorrow.

What? I just learned about him this
morning. He goes to defend in state of

on the golf course, and then I rest. I
promise.

God help me.

Come on, let's go back in.

You want to redirect?

Honey, Greg.

And what happened after you identified
Mr. Arguello in the police lineup?

I went home.

The detective told me that he would be
in touch.

The next day, he called and said that
they'd let him go.

Now, Megan, I know that this is very
difficult for you.

But I want you to tell the jury exactly
how this made you feel.

First, I just felt numb.

And then I would get angry and I
would... I...

I was afraid.

There was nothing to stop him from doing
it again.

I hardly slept. And when I did sleep, I
would have these...

I could feel the fear.

And I could feel that knife up against
my... So,

what did you do?

Cried, mostly.

I was in counseling.

And everyone told me that I should try
to go back to work.

You know, to put it behind me.

And I did.

I went back to work.

But I couldn't.

I couldn't function.

How was I supposed to put it behind me?
It wasn't finished. That man was still

out there.

So then at some point, you decided to do
something about it?

He lived in my neighborhood. We shopped
at the same grocery store.

What kind of country is this?

This foreigner raped me, and then he is
allowed to walk around smiling, enjoying

his freedom.

Do you realize that he left that police
station riding in a limousine?

I couldn't live with that.

I couldn't let him live with it.

I just couldn't.

And I want you to tell us exactly what
happened, sir.

Mr. Johnson, you are under subpoena,
under oath.

And I want you to tell the court what
you saw when you were caddying for Mr.

Murray on June 20th, 1984.

Well, the foursome had just teed off on
the 12th, and we started

heading for the fairway.

I'd gone about 30 yards or so and I
noticed Mr. Murray wasn't with me.

I turned and I seen him still up on the
tee in the middle of a backswing.

I thought, shoot, he's hitting a
mulligan.

What's a mulligan, sir?

That's when you hit a bad tee shot and
you want to hit over again.

Not supposed to, really.

Anyway, I seen him swinging and all of a
sudden it's coming right at me.

And it wasn't no mulligan.

What was it, sir?

A bullfrog.

Objection. He teed up a bullfrog.

That was an accident.

Your Honor.

Tire bad acts are totally inadmissible.

Goes to state of mind. This is a
travesty of justice.

Overruled, Mr. Oitman. Please sit down.
You may continue, Ms. Van Owen.

Do you know what occasion Mr.

Murray to strike the frog, Mr. Johnson?

Well, he was real mad at this frog
croaking in the middle of his tee shot.

He sort of just topped the ball, didn't
get much of it.

Got all of that frog, though.

Objection. Sustained.

Nothing further.

Benny, I need one copy of everything in
the Davidoff file for today's reading.

Okay. Fend him back, okay?

And shred this one, will you, Mr.
Stolwitz?

Sure, Arnie.

Oh, Benny.

Give me a hand with this computer
terminal.

Sure.

Just put it over there.

Thank

you,

Danny.

We've all heard the argument that you
can't let people take the law into their

own hands.

That if victims go running around
exacting...

revenge from people, you're going to
have anarchy.

That's why we have law and order, the
courts, trials.

That's what the system is all about.

But the system is imperfect, ladies and
gentlemen.

If a man can rape at knife point and
walk free because he happens to be the

of a diplomat, then you know the system
is imperfect.

Nevertheless, we endure that system
because we also know that whatever its

flaws,

Its underlying objective is justice.

Now, when you go back into that little
room, I want you to look at these events

very closely and ask yourself whether
Megan Penny did

anything to contravene that objective.

This woman was brutally raped, and she
did exactly what she was supposed to do.

She notified the police.

She went to the station. She ID'd the
suspect.

She stood ready to go to court to
tolerate the pain of a trial.

In other words, she jumped through all
of society's hoops, and then they let

go.

Because he was the son of a diplomat,
they let the rapist go.

And this woman was left with nothing but
violent memories.

No sense of vindication.

No guarantee that this immunized
psychotic wouldn't be back.

So she became consumed with despair,
with terror, with rage, to the

point where this young victim felt
driven to strike back.

And when she did strike back, we all
know in our bones that that was the one

and only moment of justice in this whole
horrible story.

Now, the district attorney, he's talking
about law and order and public policy

and all of that.

But what he really wants, what he's
really asking you to do is to punish

Penny.

Even though the system couldn't punish
Wilford Arguello, he's asking you to

it in your hearts to punish this woman.

Now, you don't have to cheer her
actions.

Hmm. You don't even have to forgive her.

But my God, after what this woman's been
through, you

can't put her in jail.

Oh.

You have to find that my client was
temporarily insane.

You have to.

Because that's the only way you can let
her go.

You don't see anything wrong in doing
that.

I don't see much wrong with keeping her
out of jail. Oh, come on, Nicky.

Peter, you basically winked at that jury
and said, look, we all know she was

sane. But since the guy deserved it, and
since the only way to acquit her is to

find her temporarily nuts...

Let's find her insane, okay?

So what is so terrible about that?

Hey, pal, you told the jury to do
exactly what she did.

Disregard the law.

Take the fastest route to their
interpretation of justice.

In the big picture, Grace, I agree with
you. But the bottom line here is that

this girl should not be doing a life
sentence.

No, the bottom line, Counselor, is that
you endorse street justice.

That's wrong.

We wouldn't be doing what we do if we
thought it was right. Fine. Bill, what

would you have done?

I...

I don't know.

I guess that's why I'm glad to be back
at the DA's.

Look, I hear what you're saying, and
we're not in disagreement here.

But if you spent five minutes with this
woman, let her tell you herself what she

went through, you'd see it differently.
That's all I am asking the jury to do.

This is why America is a great country.

Because while you're out there wrestling
with the big picture, Mr. Darrow,

I'm making the world a safer place for
swans.

When David Murray came home

that night, he had to look his six -year
-old daughter, Sarah, straight in the

eye and admit to her that he had taken
the life of

a swan.

And if you can imagine the sense of
remorse that he must have felt at that

moment.

Try, try, ladies and gentlemen, to
comprehend the utter humiliation that he

have felt when telling his eight -year
-old son, Jimmy, that he was afraid of

this bird.

It was no more embarrassing, people,
than it was true.

The swan scared him. It suddenly flew at
him. He was startled. He was afraid.

And he swung.

If it had been a mountain lion, there
would be no trial here.

But since the district attorney believes
that no man has the right to be afraid

of a beautiful swan, that no man has the
right to be timid or jumpy, she's

looking for a criminal conviction.

David Murray is not heroic.

David Murray is certainly not proud.

But members of the jury, David Murray is
definitely not guilty.

Thank you.

Objection. Ms. Van Owen.

I'm sorry, Your Honor.

That was really good.

Your Honor. Ms.

Van Owen.

apologize i really do but let's all try

and imagine the humiliation little eight
-year -old jimmy would have felt

if he had been on the golf course to see
daddy tee up the bullfrog i mean come

on he bashed in that bird's head because
it cost him a golf bet

And I do feel badly for laughing, ladies
and gentlemen. And the fact that we

have all chuckled a little during this
trial in no way undermines its severity.

Human nature covets sick jokes.

Either as a defense mechanism or as a
release or simply as a means of coping

with events we find tragic. And this is
tragic.

What he did is cruel.

And it's totally unforgivable. And for
you to excuse it would be equally

unforgivable.

He shamelessly and brutally killed a
beautiful swan. His behavior is

unacceptable and repugnant to decent
human beings.

I'm asking you to tell him that.

Thank you.

They're waiting for the Davidoff file.
They want to get set up for the meeting.

Oh, there it is.

Benny, this isn't the Davidoff file.

Did I make copies of the wrong file?

Oh.

Oh, no.

Benny, you made copies of the file you
were supposed to shred.

Roxy, where's the file?

I can find it. I can put it back
together.

You got too fast. Oh, no.

People, how long does it take to get a
file around here?

We've got a problem. I accidentally
shredded it, Leland.

You what?

I fed the Davidoff file into the
shredder by mistake.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

You very well may have cost us this
case.

It's not a problem. I'll go over to
Wainwright and O 'Connor and photocopy

file. There were original documents in
that file that Wainwright O 'Connor

doesn't have copies of.

That Saul Davidoff doesn't have copies
of. Give me a chance to reconstruct

We can reschedule the meeting.

Right now, sir, that is the least of
your problems.

We, the jury, in the matter of people
versus David Murray, find the defendant

guilty as charged.

Mr. Murray, Mr.

Oitman, three months probation, $2 ,000
fine, full restitution on the bird. Your

Honor, may I say something? No, you may
not.

Mr. Murray, your attack on that swan was
reprehensible, and my only regret here

is that I can't find a way to nail you
for the frog.

Your Honor, it hopped on top of my ball.
Quiet!

Mr. Murray, you will not play golf for
one year. You will perform 200 hours

of community service work at the Culver
City Animal Shelter, and if you ever do

anything even remotely like this again,
I will personally throw you in jail. Is

that clear?

Oh, yeah. Take your client to probation,
Counselor. Yes, Your Honor. Case

adjourned.

Yes, Ben.

It wasn't Jonathan who shredded that
file.

It was me.

I know you can't let me work here
anymore, so here are my keys.

Did I fire Jonathan when I thought he
did?

No.

Then why would I fire you?

Because I might get mixed up and make
another mistake.

There isn't anybody I know that doesn't
make mistakes.

But this was a really big one.

Yeah.

Yes, it was.

But you're part of this firm.

And you work very hard, and the work
that you do is appreciated.

We care about you.

We don't turn away people whom we care
about.

Is there any way that I can fix what I
did?

Nope.

But what you can do is learn from your
mistakes.

Yes, sir.

There are a lot of smart people in the
world, Benny.

Never would have had the courage to come
in here.

You showed honesty.

And that has nothing to do with being
smart.

Do you... understand what I'm saying?

Yes. I do. Yeah.

All right.

Oh, Benny.

Rusty? Douglas?

I'm fine. How are you?

Good. Good.

Look, I might as well just say this.

I want us... I need to see you.

Are you free tonight?

Good.

I don't know. It doesn't matter.
Wherever you want to go.

If that's what you want to do...

That's what we'll do.

I'll pick you up at 8.

Me too.

Bye.

This court will come to order.

Please be seated.

How you doing?

Scared.

Will the defendant please rise?

In the matter of People v.

Megan Pinney, the jury finds the
defendant not guilty by reason of

insanity.

Your Honor, I move you set aside this
verdict. Order.

This matter is not adjourned.
Psychiatric evidence is uncontroverted

testified herself that she could
distinguish between right and wrong at

that she killed him, and there is no
evidence to support their finding of

temporary insanity.

They just went back in there, and with
blind sympathy, they completely

disregarded... Motion denied.

The defendant is free to go.

Case adjourned.

I thought that I would never be free
again.

You're not a criminal. The jury saw
that. I owe you my life. We talked to

client. Poor my brother.

Thank you, honey.

I guess all those childhood dancing
lessons I took paid off.

Love you.

You want to sit down for a while or get
a drink?

Just one more dance first.

I can't explain it.

If this is wrong, why am I so happy?

Why is it wrong?

Don't you think it's a little strange?

The fact that you were my father's
lover.

Do I make you happy?

Oh.

I've never been happier.

Am I a good lover?

You're an amazing lover.

I never thought it could be like this.

I never thought I deserved it like this.

Oh, honey.

You deserve all the happiness you can
get.

I don't think I've ever known anybody as
generous and as kind as you.

I try to keep life simple.

Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.

If you wait out the bad, start getting
bitter.

The good rolls around again.

I don't know what's going to happen with
us.

But when I'm with you, it doesn't
matter.

I guess because... Because I love you.

Then come to Rusty, honey.

Because she loves you, too.

Dougie.

Dougie and Ma.

You want me to go in too?

No. I won my game.

You okay, Cusack?
