1
00:00:03,429 --> 00:00:04,870
Previously on L .A. Law.

2
00:00:05,210 --> 00:00:09,240
There's a child matching Eric's general
description in St. Anthony's Hospital.

3
00:00:09,370 --> 00:00:10,420
How sick?

4
00:00:10,790 --> 00:00:12,670
This child is dead.

5
00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:14,960
Mrs. Perkins?

6
00:00:15,990 --> 00:00:19,360
I'm sorry, I just found out the body was
already sent to County Mork.

7
00:00:19,950 --> 00:00:21,410
My apologies, Mrs. Perkins.

8
00:00:21,710 --> 00:00:25,150
Did you find him? The baby John Doe was
mistakenly cremated.

9
00:00:25,410 --> 00:00:27,030
I have a missing child.

10
00:00:27,750 --> 00:00:31,830
And if that little boy was my son...

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,340
then how am I ever going to know?

12
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:36,540
Age is 100 % fatal.

13
00:00:36,541 --> 00:00:40,659
There's no effective cure at this time.
Did you buy this gun with the intent to

14
00:00:40,660 --> 00:00:41,710
kill Mr. Gates?

15
00:00:41,740 --> 00:00:43,300
Glenn was in horrible agony.

16
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,219
He didn't want to live any longer. If I
was dying, and I'd lost all human

17
00:00:48,220 --> 00:00:49,660
dignity and quality of life,

18
00:00:50,420 --> 00:00:53,430
I sure would hope someone would love me
enough to do it for me.

19
00:00:54,180 --> 00:00:59,280
We, the jury, find the defendant guilty
of murder in the first degree.

20
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,120
Megamy, do you know how rare it is?

21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,339
I mean, this is the divorce lawyer
equivalent of a hole -in -one. This man

22
00:01:06,340 --> 00:01:10,739
you all loved so much stole everything
you had. And I'm just talking about your

23
00:01:10,740 --> 00:01:12,980
property. He stole your love.

24
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:19,159
You're no Cary Grant, you know. You got
11 quite attractive, very wealthy women

25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,210
to marry you.

26
00:01:20,220 --> 00:01:27,139
I'm just curious how the Venus
butterfly... What is

27
00:01:27,140 --> 00:01:29,040
the Venus butterfly?

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,199
I always felt that if it fell into the
wrong hands, it could sexually enslave a

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:41,039
woman. I have never, I mean never in my
entire life, ever

30
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,180
experienced anything like the Venus
butterfly.

31
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,260
Norman L. Stone did on March 11, 1986,
murder Roberta Johnson.

32
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,799
And whereas Norman L. Stone was found
guilty of murder in the first degree and

33
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,119
was sentenced to death, the Supreme
Court upheld the sentence of death. To

34
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,339
this warrant directly for his sentence
of death to be executed. The Supreme

35
00:02:13,340 --> 00:02:18,019
Court upheld the sentence of death held
on Norman L. Stone. Executive clemency

36
00:02:18,020 --> 00:02:19,080
is not appropriate.

37
00:02:19,081 --> 00:02:22,779
To cause the sentence of death. And was
sentenced to death in accordance with

38
00:02:22,780 --> 00:02:27,429
provisions. Law. Guilty of murder in the
first degree, caused the sentence of

39
00:02:27,430 --> 00:02:30,210
death in accordance with provisions of
the law.

40
00:02:36,350 --> 00:02:40,950
What is it, Mickey?

41
00:02:43,410 --> 00:02:44,460
Nightmare.

42
00:02:45,730 --> 00:02:46,780
Same one?

43
00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:51,130
I wish you'd never taken that damn case.

44
00:02:58,510 --> 00:03:01,040
You want something? Some warm milk or
something?

45
00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:06,880
U .S. vs.

46
00:05:06,890 --> 00:05:09,730
Lindley is on hold.

47
00:05:10,190 --> 00:05:11,240
Moving on.

48
00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:13,430
Where is Troutman vs.

49
00:05:13,910 --> 00:05:15,830
Troutman, Troutman, Troutman at all?

50
00:05:15,831 --> 00:05:19,089
We've annulled all the marriages and the
ladies have agreed to drop all criminal

51
00:05:19,090 --> 00:05:21,829
charges in exchange for a return of the
stolen property.

52
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:25,389
It's still a little sticky with the IRS,
but I think we'll be all right. And I'm

53
00:05:25,390 --> 00:05:28,789
having dinner with his attorney tonight,
Lynette Pierce. We just have to dot the

54
00:05:28,790 --> 00:05:30,610
I's and cross the T's. Dirty work.

55
00:05:30,990 --> 00:05:32,130
Somebody's got to do it.

56
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,720
What is that horrible noise? I cannot
hear myself think. Sorry.

57
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,730
I'll take care of it.

58
00:05:40,580 --> 00:05:44,940
And what is people versus Lily White?

59
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,510
I want her to talk about that. My
client's accused of robbing a John.

60
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:49,970
A men's room?

61
00:05:51,540 --> 00:05:54,000
No, a John. She's a prostitute, Doug.

62
00:05:54,540 --> 00:05:58,479
I can't help suggesting, Victor, that a
firm of our stature shouldn't be

63
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,740
associating itself with prostitutes.

64
00:06:00,980 --> 00:06:02,740
You mean like Harold Osborne?

65
00:06:03,820 --> 00:06:04,870
I beg your pardon?

66
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,970
This firm's biggest client happens to be
my client's alibi.

67
00:06:07,971 --> 00:06:11,099
Explain, please. She says she couldn't
have robbed the John on the date in

68
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:14,499
question because she was shacked up with
Mr. Osborne in his Malibu condo.

69
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:16,840
He denies it. What are you going to do?

70
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,310
I might have to subpoena him. I don't
know yet.

71
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,790
Well, there's a clear conflict of
interest here.

72
00:06:21,860 --> 00:06:23,780
I assume you'll withdraw from the case.

73
00:06:23,781 --> 00:06:26,439
I haven't made up my mind about that.

74
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,739
There are only about 10 million other
qualified attorneys who could handle

75
00:06:30,740 --> 00:06:31,790
matter, Victor.

76
00:06:32,599 --> 00:06:35,180
I will think about it, and I'll let you
know.

77
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,400
Victor and I will discuss this later.

78
00:06:37,401 --> 00:06:43,079
What is going on? I'm sorry, but I found
him on the freeway this morning coming

79
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,419
in. He has no collar. Someone must have
abandoned him. I can smell him from

80
00:06:46,420 --> 00:06:48,590
here. I'll have him cleaned up at
lunchtime.

81
00:06:48,860 --> 00:06:53,680
I'm trying to find a place for him. For
God's sakes, call the pound.

82
00:06:54,380 --> 00:06:55,430
Absolutely not.

83
00:06:55,431 --> 00:06:58,279
Do you know what they do to them there
if no one claims them?

84
00:06:58,280 --> 00:07:00,859
He'll be quiet if he's with me. He'll
just sit at my feet.

85
00:07:00,860 --> 00:07:02,420
Come on, boy. It's all right, Dad.

86
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,060
Michael, where do you stand with people
versus Petrovic?

87
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,360
I'm arguing his appeal this afternoon.

88
00:07:08,420 --> 00:07:11,370
You know, I still can't see why you took
this animal's case.

89
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,480
A, because the legal defense fund asked
me to.

90
00:07:17,180 --> 00:07:20,700
B, because I have seen the death penalty
in action.

91
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,919
And C, because I happen to feel that
capital punishment is barbaric. As

92
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,899
to raping a pregnant woman and then
executing her and her husband while

93
00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:31,659
six -year -old son hides in a closet.
Arnold. What if you get him off on a

94
00:07:31,660 --> 00:07:35,399
technicality? How are you going to feel
if he's back out walking the streets?

95
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,939
Whoa, what are you saying we should do,
Anne? Suspend the guy's constitutional

96
00:07:37,940 --> 00:07:40,919
rights because you're offended by the
crime he's accused of committing?

97
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,180
Convicted of committing.

98
00:07:42,181 --> 00:07:45,499
No, how would you feel if this was your
family? If he murdered your family,

99
00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:46,679
wouldn't you want him put to death?

100
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,330
Executing a murderer may be viscerally
satisfying.

101
00:07:49,331 --> 00:07:51,429
But it's a disgrace to an enlightened
society.

102
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:52,480
I disagree. Thank you.

103
00:07:53,230 --> 00:07:54,670
Now, now, now, that's enough.

104
00:07:54,970 --> 00:07:59,289
Now, I enjoy a good debate as much as
anybody, but surely this is not the

105
00:07:59,290 --> 00:08:03,249
appropriate forum. As we all have work
to do, and as I'm sure we won't settle

106
00:08:03,250 --> 00:08:05,540
this issue here and now, I suggest we
adjourn.

107
00:08:06,361 --> 00:08:13,469
Arnie, don't forget your 11 .30 with Mr.
Herskovits. You've got to be all the

108
00:08:13,470 --> 00:08:16,300
way across town for a 12 .30 lunch with
your mother. Oh, God.

109
00:08:16,330 --> 00:08:17,380
Better not be late.

110
00:08:18,340 --> 00:08:19,520
Hey, puppy dog. This way.

111
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,490
Ann,

112
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:26,960
a minute?

113
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:29,960
Yes? About the dog.

114
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:33,610
I hope I can enlist your wisdom in
search of a solution.

115
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,640
Leland, Abby is very fragile right now.

116
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,460
Oh, I'm mindful of her situation.

117
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,159
Nevertheless, what if the dog bites
someone? We could be liable.

118
00:08:43,419 --> 00:08:44,679
You want me to talk to her?

119
00:08:44,940 --> 00:08:45,990
You're close to her.

120
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:49,750
I'm sure you'll handle it far more
tactfully than I could.

121
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,560
And you don't have the guts.

122
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:53,770
Does that?

123
00:08:53,811 --> 00:09:01,659
Counselor, the factual record shows the
police found the gun in the defendant's

124
00:09:01,660 --> 00:09:05,979
car. placed him under arrest at that
time, advised him of his constitutional

125
00:09:05,980 --> 00:09:09,339
rights, and after waiving his rights, he
confessed to the murders.

126
00:09:09,340 --> 00:09:12,519
Assuming all of that to be true, Your
Honor, what I am arguing as a matter of

127
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,839
law is that the police had no right to
stop and detain Mr. Petrovic in the

128
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:16,890
place.

129
00:09:16,891 --> 00:09:20,619
Accordingly, any search or confession
incident to that detention should not be

130
00:09:20,620 --> 00:09:24,019
admissible. Factual record shows the
police received a radio call of a murder

131
00:09:24,020 --> 00:09:27,559
suspect. It matched the description of
the defendant and the defendant's

132
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:31,320
vehicle. Yes, but if you examine the
police report carefully...

133
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,939
something which Mr. Petrovic's defense
counsel unfortunately neglected to do

134
00:09:35,940 --> 00:09:39,919
during trial, you will notice that the
radio transmission wasn't recorded until

135
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,440
11 .32 a .m.

136
00:09:41,820 --> 00:09:44,460
My client was stopped at 11 .20.

137
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:45,930
Mr. Adler?

138
00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:51,199
The officer simply made an error on the
time. All three arresting officers

139
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,280
listed 11 .20 on their reports. I'm sure
there's some explanation, Your Honor.

140
00:09:55,281 --> 00:09:59,239
Of course there is, and we all know it.
Mr. Petrovic was snagged in one of the

141
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,480
police department's infamous dragnets.
Totally unfounded.

142
00:10:02,481 --> 00:10:06,339
Fourteen drug busts on this street have
been overturned on appeal.

143
00:10:06,340 --> 00:10:10,219
The police stopped my client looking for
drugs, found a weapon in his car, and

144
00:10:10,220 --> 00:10:11,300
coerced a confession.

145
00:10:11,780 --> 00:10:17,239
Mr. Adler, if that call was not made
until 11 .32... Your Honor, this man

146
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,610
and tortured a pregnant woman while he
forced her husband to watch.

147
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,919
Then he put a gun in her mouth and blew
her head off and then her husband's. All

148
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,960
the while, a little six -year -old boy
crouched in a closet, trembling, hiding,

149
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,019
listening to the anguished screams of
his mother and father. How is this even

150
00:10:34,020 --> 00:10:38,259
remotely relevant to the constitutional
permissibility of stopping the

151
00:10:38,260 --> 00:10:41,080
defendant's vehicle? The defendant is
and was...

152
00:10:41,740 --> 00:10:45,699
A deranged and suspicious -looking
individual, Your Honor, observed in an

153
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:47,990
known to be frequented by violent
criminals.

154
00:10:47,991 --> 00:10:51,819
You're telling this court, in effect,
that the defendant was subjected to a

155
00:10:51,820 --> 00:10:56,120
substantial invasion of his
constitutional rights because he didn't

156
00:10:56,121 --> 00:10:59,999
These veteran officers have an instinct,
Your Honor. They reasonably suspected

157
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,920
that Mr. Petrovic... Come on, Counselor.

158
00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:06,899
Without that radio call, there was no
probable cause to stop him. That means

159
00:11:06,900 --> 00:11:09,730
gun and the confession are fruits of the
poisonous tree.

160
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,360
and therefore inadmissible.

161
00:11:11,361 --> 00:11:15,319
Now, it's our custom to take these
matters under advisement, and we shall

162
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:16,370
accordingly here.

163
00:11:16,371 --> 00:11:20,239
But start assembling your evidence, Mr.
Adler, because unless the Constitution

164
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,939
is repealed before we can adjourn to
chambers, this case is headed for a new

165
00:11:24,940 --> 00:11:26,480
trial. That's all.

166
00:11:30,780 --> 00:11:37,699
Are you sure? People versus

167
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:38,750
Appleton?

168
00:11:38,751 --> 00:11:40,759
Ready to proceed for sentencing hearing?

169
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,899
As Mr. Appleton has been briefly
hospitalized, Your Honor, I would ask

170
00:11:43,900 --> 00:11:47,360
continuance until Thursday. May I
inquire as to the nature of his

171
00:11:47,361 --> 00:11:50,939
He has a bronchial infection, Your
Honor. He's due to be released later

172
00:11:50,940 --> 00:11:52,320
Any objection, Ms. Van Owen?

173
00:11:52,620 --> 00:11:53,880
No objection, Your Honor.

174
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,960
This matter is continued to Thursday, 3
p .m., in this courtroom.

175
00:11:57,961 --> 00:12:01,799
Next matter? Mr. Dallas would request a
continuance, Your Honor, due to the

176
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,079
unavailability of a witness to this
matter. Sure. The witness being

177
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,130
Key West, Florida.

178
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,090
Hi, Mom.

179
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,020
How are you?

180
00:12:15,021 --> 00:12:16,219
You're late.

181
00:12:16,220 --> 00:12:19,559
You look great. Another wreath of an
inch. In four years, you'll be as bald

182
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:21,300
your father. Before the transplant.

183
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:23,850
Great Dan.

184
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,830
Looks like desert life must be agreeing
with you.

185
00:12:26,831 --> 00:12:27,679
Oh, yeah.

186
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:31,579
Major excitement. Flying in the sun
every day like a lizard. Just another

187
00:12:31,580 --> 00:12:33,740
your father's brainstorms. How is Dad?

188
00:12:33,741 --> 00:12:35,199
We're getting a divorce.

189
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:36,440
What? What happened?

190
00:12:36,441 --> 00:12:39,819
It's none of your business. There are
certain things you do not discuss with

191
00:12:39,820 --> 00:12:40,870
your child.

192
00:12:41,780 --> 00:12:48,339
Now, here are the bank accounts, a list
of all our stocks and bonds, last ten

193
00:12:48,340 --> 00:12:49,580
years' tax returns.

194
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:57,680
So, ballpark figure, how much alimony do
you think we can squeeze out of him?

195
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,010
Mom, stop.

196
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,750
Can't we see June at force action
against my own father?

197
00:13:03,751 --> 00:13:07,139
Well, I don't see why not, unless you
love him more than you do me, which is

198
00:13:07,140 --> 00:13:10,819
funny, considering had it been left up
to him, you'd have never gone to law

199
00:13:10,820 --> 00:13:15,559
school. Now, the boy has no head on his
shoulders. Now, that is what this so

200
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:18,980
-called father said until the mother
stood up for the son.

201
00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:23,239
Mom, please, I don't want to get in the
middle here. After 40 years of hell on

202
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,359
this earth, I'm entitled to a little
happiness.

203
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,979
I've been told that I'm still a very
attractive woman and he doesn't function

204
00:13:28,980 --> 00:13:31,560
anymore. I thought he still goes into
the office.

205
00:13:31,940 --> 00:13:32,990
As a man.

206
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,050
In the bedroom.

207
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:37,740
Mom always had his tootsies and his
whores.

208
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,559
The only thing that would have made me
happier is if his business fell off

209
00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:44,360
altogether. Mom, please.

210
00:13:48,340 --> 00:13:49,390
What's this?

211
00:13:49,820 --> 00:13:50,870
Well, you were late.

212
00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:52,980
So I ordered for you.

213
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,740
I don't eat red meat anymore.

214
00:13:55,741 --> 00:14:00,059
Well, who can keep up with you and your
fans? All this fussiness. You're just

215
00:14:00,060 --> 00:14:00,999
like your father.

216
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,860
Okay, it's okay. I'll eat it.

217
00:14:03,260 --> 00:14:07,979
I am going through the most traumatic
period of my life, and there is no one

218
00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:09,560
here, no one to help me.

219
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,760
Mom, I'll take a look into it, okay?
I'll see what I can do.

220
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,100
I'll find someone else.

221
00:14:14,140 --> 00:14:16,240
I said that I would do it.

222
00:14:22,180 --> 00:14:23,230
Major D.

223
00:14:23,660 --> 00:14:24,710
Major D.

224
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,820
Yes, ma 'am. I specifically asked for my
steak charred.

225
00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:30,350
Medium rare.

226
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:34,150
Cold as ice.

227
00:14:34,180 --> 00:14:35,230
Very sorry.

228
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,050
Thank you.

229
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,779
Oh, this is my son, Arnold Becker. He's
one of the finest divorce lawyers in the

230
00:14:41,780 --> 00:14:43,280
city. Are you married?

231
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,010
Very happily.

232
00:14:45,220 --> 00:14:46,270
Well, you never know.

233
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,340
You may need a good lawyer one day.

234
00:14:50,180 --> 00:14:51,680
Arnold, give the man your card.

235
00:14:59,340 --> 00:15:00,700
I'm not blind, Mark.

236
00:15:01,290 --> 00:15:03,210
I've read the editorials in the papers.

237
00:15:03,730 --> 00:15:06,740
I've received copies of the jurors'
letters to Judge Rubin.

238
00:15:06,770 --> 00:15:08,710
And I know he's looking for a way out.

239
00:15:09,450 --> 00:15:10,500
What about you?

240
00:15:13,990 --> 00:15:19,189
I continually believe deeply we cannot
allow individuals the right to determine

241
00:15:19,190 --> 00:15:19,929
for themselves.

242
00:15:19,930 --> 00:15:20,229
Thank you, Grace.

243
00:15:20,230 --> 00:15:22,460
I've already heard your closing
arguments.

244
00:15:22,461 --> 00:15:25,789
I'm sure you didn't invite me here to
have an instant replay.

245
00:15:25,790 --> 00:15:29,280
I invited you here to tell you that my
heart goes out to Chris Appleton.

246
00:15:30,030 --> 00:15:31,170
It's very humane of you.

247
00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:34,890
I'm not looking for a crucifixion here.
I was arguing a principle.

248
00:15:35,190 --> 00:15:39,430
Right, right. And now you just don't
have the courage to be responsible for

249
00:15:39,570 --> 00:15:41,110
You want it both ways, Grace.

250
00:15:41,111 --> 00:15:44,569
You're rattling your saber in court, and
then you try to squirm out of your

251
00:15:44,570 --> 00:15:47,880
guilt by offering a backdoor deal. I
just find that reprehensible.

252
00:15:47,881 --> 00:15:51,749
What's reprehensible here is that you
didn't do your job. Please, give me a

253
00:15:51,750 --> 00:15:52,800
break.

254
00:15:55,870 --> 00:15:58,590
Have you ever heard of AIDS stress
syndrome?

255
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,090
What about it?

256
00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:02,150
It's a theory.

257
00:16:02,540 --> 00:16:05,250
Advanced by Dr. Friedman, an expert on
delayed stress.

258
00:16:05,251 --> 00:16:09,499
He's willing to testify that under the
constant stress of caring for his dying

259
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:13,219
lover, Chris Appleton was incapable of
forming a specific intent to commit

260
00:16:13,220 --> 00:16:15,520
murder. You should have raised it at the
trial.

261
00:16:15,521 --> 00:16:18,779
It might have supported a diminished
capacity defense.

262
00:16:18,780 --> 00:16:21,499
Diminished capacity only makes sense if
you're willing to settle for a

263
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:22,719
conviction or reduce charges.

264
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,399
Yes. I didn't want to let the jury off
that easily, especially since given

265
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,149
Appleton's situation, it still would
have been a life sentence.

266
00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:31,429
No, I firmly believe that under the
circumstances, I made the right choice.

267
00:16:31,430 --> 00:16:32,870
made the same choice as I made.

268
00:16:32,970 --> 00:16:34,250
To defend a principal.

269
00:16:34,251 --> 00:16:38,249
Except you defended yours at the expense
of your client's best interest. And you

270
00:16:38,250 --> 00:16:39,750
didn't. He wasn't my client.

271
00:16:40,070 --> 00:16:43,030
Why do I need to sit here and listen to
it? Wait, wait.

272
00:16:46,450 --> 00:16:47,970
Take this stuff. Read it.

273
00:16:48,610 --> 00:16:52,250
It might be grounds for a new trial, and
a new trial could buy you a year.

274
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,050
It's one doctor's completely untested
theory.

275
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,330
Besides, it wouldn't do any good. I
didn't raise it at the trial. It's

276
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,760
How do you know until you try?

277
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,210
Grace.

278
00:17:12,420 --> 00:17:15,610
And if that doesn't work, there's one
other thing you could try.

279
00:17:15,980 --> 00:17:17,030
Yeah, what's that?

280
00:17:18,339 --> 00:17:19,389
I think you know.

281
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:26,740
I'll take another bite.

282
00:17:36,810 --> 00:17:40,180
Harold Osborne is a witness in your
trial. I want you to take a look at

283
00:17:40,181 --> 00:17:43,289
What is it? I'll just take a minute to
go through it, then we'll discuss it

284
00:17:43,290 --> 00:17:44,340
later.

285
00:17:51,230 --> 00:17:52,280
I'll take care of it.

286
00:17:57,670 --> 00:17:58,750
Arnie, Arnie, wait.

287
00:17:59,470 --> 00:18:01,030
There's someone in your office.

288
00:18:01,650 --> 00:18:02,700
Someone?

289
00:18:02,710 --> 00:18:03,760
Your father.

290
00:18:03,850 --> 00:18:04,900
Oh, God.

291
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:15,640
So -so, but you.

292
00:18:16,540 --> 00:18:18,160
It's quite a palace you got here.

293
00:18:18,161 --> 00:18:20,099
I didn't realize you'd never been here
before.

294
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:21,150
You never invited me.

295
00:18:21,151 --> 00:18:23,599
It's too bad it took something like this
to get me here.

296
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,960
She told me she was having lunch with
you.

297
00:18:25,961 --> 00:18:29,679
Dad, this is crazy. After all these
years, isn't there something you can do?

298
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,180
She's your mother, you tell me.

299
00:18:31,181 --> 00:18:33,439
Remember the time we went to Tahoe
together?

300
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,480
She's still talking about it. Twenty
years later, she says I took you to

301
00:18:38,060 --> 00:18:39,500
I can go out to buy a newspaper.

302
00:18:39,820 --> 00:18:41,320
She says I'm going with whores.

303
00:18:41,540 --> 00:18:42,640
Dad, please.

304
00:18:43,390 --> 00:18:45,190
I don't want to get in the middle here.

305
00:18:45,191 --> 00:18:47,769
I told her that's what you were going to
say.

306
00:18:47,770 --> 00:18:50,900
I knew you couldn't go against your own
father in a court of law.

307
00:18:52,270 --> 00:18:55,210
That is what you told her. I tried to
tell her.

308
00:18:56,650 --> 00:18:57,790
Tried means you didn't.

309
00:18:58,290 --> 00:19:00,090
Dad, come on. You know what she's like.

310
00:19:00,370 --> 00:19:04,230
Who went with you to every little league
game?

311
00:19:04,970 --> 00:19:07,080
I'm not just talking about the home
games.

312
00:19:07,610 --> 00:19:11,930
I drove to Torrance, to West Covina, for
God's sakes.

313
00:19:12,380 --> 00:19:14,300
And who bought you your first car, huh?

314
00:19:14,380 --> 00:19:17,000
Not to mention your first pack of latex
protection.

315
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,460
You have to understand this has nothing
to do with the way I feel about you.

316
00:19:23,220 --> 00:19:25,080
You were smart never to have children.

317
00:19:25,260 --> 00:19:26,600
You can't believe the pain.

318
00:19:26,980 --> 00:19:29,870
It's like having your heart sliced up
like a pimento loaf.

319
00:19:30,260 --> 00:19:31,310
Dad, please.

320
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,560
I never meant to hurt you. Forget it.

321
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,260
It's probably a blessing in disguise.

322
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:37,550
What do you mean?

323
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,940
I wasn't going to tell you.

324
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,930
What? Well, no more after surgery.

325
00:19:42,670 --> 00:19:44,950
Surgery? Exploratory in the prostate.

326
00:19:47,790 --> 00:19:49,870
Dad, I feel terrible.

327
00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:54,370
No, don't. The truth is, I was actually
worried up to this minute about dying,

328
00:19:54,390 --> 00:19:58,090
but now to know that my own son has
turned on me. Dad, I have not turned on

329
00:20:02,410 --> 00:20:06,370
Okay, I'll call her. I'll tell her that
I can't take her case.

330
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,200
I wouldn't let your old man down.

331
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:18,980
You tell her to pack.

332
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,550
Validate your parking ticket, Mr.
Becker.

333
00:20:27,260 --> 00:20:28,310
Thank you.

334
00:20:45,140 --> 00:20:46,190
Arnie?

335
00:20:48,460 --> 00:20:51,890
Call more pressmen. Tell them I need to
renew my valium prescription.

336
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,020
Yo. Vinnie.

337
00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:04,900
I brought you a burrito.

338
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:06,690
Great.

339
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,330
Sit down.

340
00:21:09,660 --> 00:21:11,980
You get a chance to talk to the witness
yet?

341
00:21:11,981 --> 00:21:15,989
The star witness for the prosecution is
not going to be talking to anybody.

342
00:21:15,990 --> 00:21:17,040
What do you mean?

343
00:21:17,250 --> 00:21:18,300
She's a broccoli.

344
00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:20,390
She had a stroke about three months ago.

345
00:21:20,391 --> 00:21:22,389
Terrible thing, this stroke business.

346
00:21:22,390 --> 00:21:26,809
My great Aunt Teresa, one day healthy as
a horse, next day stroked out like a

347
00:21:26,810 --> 00:21:27,809
side of beef.

348
00:21:27,810 --> 00:21:29,729
Well, is there any way she's going to
recover?

349
00:21:29,730 --> 00:21:33,690
Ah, dear God, no. I keep telling Uncle
Sal, send her back to Italy.

350
00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:36,250
Elaine, I'm talking about this witness.

351
00:21:36,251 --> 00:21:40,149
Oh, no, that poor woman. She's got more
tubes running out of her than Goodyear's

352
00:21:40,150 --> 00:21:40,849
got tires.

353
00:21:40,850 --> 00:21:43,109
It's not even something you want to talk
about while you eat.

354
00:21:43,110 --> 00:21:47,030
Vinnie, is there any chance that this
witness is going to recover?

355
00:21:47,790 --> 00:21:48,840
Not in this lifetime.

356
00:21:49,650 --> 00:21:52,290
Mark, I appreciate this on such short
notice.

357
00:21:53,170 --> 00:21:54,220
Anytime, Mr. K.

358
00:21:55,210 --> 00:21:57,670
Uh, shall I leave my bill with you, gal?

359
00:21:57,671 --> 00:21:59,189
That's fine.

360
00:21:59,190 --> 00:22:02,729
Or if you want to recommend my work to
some of your colleagues, we could just

361
00:22:02,730 --> 00:22:03,780
run a tab.

362
00:22:04,290 --> 00:22:05,850
Okay. Run a tab.

363
00:22:06,330 --> 00:22:08,630
In that case, the burrito's on me.

364
00:22:09,490 --> 00:22:10,540
Enjoy.

365
00:22:14,370 --> 00:22:15,420
How's it going?

366
00:22:16,130 --> 00:22:17,180
Puppy down!

367
00:22:19,850 --> 00:22:24,149
Um, it's going great. I'm almost done
with the Moriarty deposition, and I'll

368
00:22:24,150 --> 00:22:25,689
have something for you by this
afternoon.

369
00:22:25,690 --> 00:22:27,910
Uh, what are you gonna do about the dog?

370
00:22:29,170 --> 00:22:31,820
Well, I have signs up at the vets and
the supermarket.

371
00:22:32,590 --> 00:22:34,820
It's hard to find someone who wants a
big dog.

372
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,999
If you don't find a place for it by
tonight, uh, you should probably leave

373
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,050
home from now on.

374
00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:42,660
My landlord doesn't allow pets.

375
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,680
Abby, unless he's got a law degree, you
can't keep bringing the dog to work.

376
00:22:47,681 --> 00:22:49,379
Well, what do you want me to do?

377
00:22:49,380 --> 00:22:50,379
Destroy him?

378
00:22:50,380 --> 00:22:53,579
We're so obsessed with this crummy job
and this crummy office that we've lost

379
00:22:53,580 --> 00:22:54,599
sight of our values.

380
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,579
And if I try to do the humane thing,
then I don't think I should be

381
00:22:57,580 --> 00:22:58,359
for it.

382
00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:02,019
Abby, no one is trying to persecute you.
Well, I'm under a lot of pressure these

383
00:23:02,020 --> 00:23:04,999
days, and I would appreciate having a
little support and understanding around

384
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,080
here. You have it.

385
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,679
All I'm saying is that we should try to
find a home for the dog in the next few

386
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,730
days.

387
00:23:11,980 --> 00:23:13,300
Okay? Okay.

388
00:23:28,929 --> 00:23:30,510
Looking for a change of venue.

389
00:23:31,850 --> 00:23:33,410
Nice little trick, Leland.

390
00:23:33,411 --> 00:23:37,309
All the dirt on Harold Osborne, but
since I've learned it from office files,

391
00:23:37,310 --> 00:23:39,669
it's privileged information, and now I
can't use it.

392
00:23:39,670 --> 00:23:42,970
You want to sit down, talk about it?
It's a little late for that.

393
00:23:42,971 --> 00:23:46,869
I could have killed his credibility with
this stuff, but now it's unethical for

394
00:23:46,870 --> 00:23:49,769
me to take advantage of it. I have to
withdraw from the case. This way I can

395
00:23:49,770 --> 00:23:53,080
find another lawyer. That's not the
point, Leland. You suckered me.

396
00:23:54,010 --> 00:23:56,190
Victor Cifuentes does whatever he can.

397
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:57,720
To protect his client.

398
00:23:57,721 --> 00:23:59,539
So do I.

399
00:23:59,540 --> 00:24:00,539
No good.

400
00:24:00,540 --> 00:24:04,599
A client of mine is supposed to be a
client of this firm's. And my client

401
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,419
got screwed over by the senior partner.

402
00:24:06,420 --> 00:24:10,739
Victor, Petromco is our biggest client.
We can't run the risk. You couldn't have

403
00:24:10,740 --> 00:24:12,480
come to me and discussed it openly?

404
00:24:12,481 --> 00:24:15,239
Well, it sounded to me like you'd
already made up your mind. If it'd been

405
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,359
Cusack, you would have called the
surrogate son in here and let him make

406
00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:20,180
decision. Me, you blindside.

407
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,610
Now, you listen to me.

408
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,720
I am the senior partner here.

409
00:24:24,270 --> 00:24:27,730
And one of my burdens is to determine
the best interests of this firm.

410
00:24:28,490 --> 00:24:29,540
You're an associate.

411
00:24:29,890 --> 00:24:33,620
And one of your burdens is to live with
the decisions of the senior partner.

412
00:24:35,210 --> 00:24:36,890
Well, I won't live with it, Leland.

413
00:24:36,891 --> 00:24:41,629
You know, Andrew Taylor was right. There
are different shades of treatment

414
00:24:41,630 --> 00:24:42,680
around here.

415
00:24:44,330 --> 00:24:45,380
I quit.

416
00:25:00,551 --> 00:25:04,919
I'm going to ask for a continuance of
the new trial.

417
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,879
I'd really appreciate your cooperation
and waving time. My caseload's pretty

418
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:09,930
jammed up right now.

419
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,740
You lost the gun. You lost the
confession.

420
00:25:12,741 --> 00:25:16,039
You got a witness who in all likelihood
won't even be able to testify.

421
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,200
You don't have a case.

422
00:25:17,201 --> 00:25:19,699
I'm going to have to move for dismissal.

423
00:25:19,700 --> 00:25:22,530
How the hell can you want this guy back
out on the street?

424
00:25:22,531 --> 00:25:26,439
When I took this case, I wasn't looking
to get him back out on the street.

425
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,240
I was looking to get him off death row.

426
00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:30,550
Like it or not...

427
00:25:30,551 --> 00:25:34,499
Now that I'm into it, I have the legal
and ethical responsibility to make you

428
00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:36,850
prove your case. You know damn well he's
guilty.

429
00:25:37,180 --> 00:25:38,740
The law says you have to prove it.

430
00:25:39,100 --> 00:25:41,700
If you can't, don't blame me.

431
00:25:41,701 --> 00:25:45,179
Well, I can get a continuance without
your assent.

432
00:25:45,180 --> 00:25:49,259
You need time to build a whole new case,
Counselor. You tell the judge that, he

433
00:25:49,260 --> 00:25:51,370
just might dismiss this thing sua
sponte.

434
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,040
You willing to run that risk?

435
00:25:53,041 --> 00:25:56,899
All right, I'll agree to bail, but this
guy is a time bomb. If he explodes, the

436
00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:57,980
blood's on your hands.

437
00:26:07,470 --> 00:26:09,520
I have to go to a meeting for about an
hour.

438
00:26:09,521 --> 00:26:12,269
I want you to be a good boy while I'm
gone, okay?

439
00:26:12,270 --> 00:26:16,230
I want you to be a real good boy while
I'm gone.

440
00:26:17,690 --> 00:26:18,830
No more keying.

441
00:26:20,330 --> 00:26:21,380
Here's your paper.

442
00:26:22,390 --> 00:26:23,440
Okay?

443
00:26:23,490 --> 00:26:25,030
Okay. That's a good boy.

444
00:26:25,810 --> 00:26:26,860
That's a good boy.

445
00:26:27,870 --> 00:26:29,070
Okay, here's your tutor.

446
00:26:42,570 --> 00:26:44,830
into a telephone conversation 10 -5.

447
00:26:45,290 --> 00:26:51,990
I am confirming the MSC will go in
Department 6 on 12 -17 unless we trail,

448
00:26:52,170 --> 00:26:57,129
in which case the IME will supplant said
MSC preparatory to...

449
00:26:57,130 --> 00:27:02,330
Will somebody do something about that
miserable dog?

450
00:27:03,110 --> 00:27:04,160
Hello?

451
00:27:37,110 --> 00:27:38,270
Lynette Pierce is here.

452
00:27:38,670 --> 00:27:40,530
Should I tell her you're in a meeting?

453
00:27:40,990 --> 00:27:43,220
Miss Pierce, I told you to wait in
reception.

454
00:27:44,770 --> 00:27:46,330
That's okay, Roxanne. Thank you.

455
00:27:48,190 --> 00:27:52,390
I'm sorry to bother you, Arnie. I was
meaning to call you anyway.

456
00:27:52,710 --> 00:27:53,870
I just spoke to the DA.

457
00:27:53,871 --> 00:27:57,609
He'll agree to probation as soon as I've
got letters from the wives that

458
00:27:57,610 --> 00:27:59,470
Foster's agreed to make restitution.

459
00:27:59,570 --> 00:28:01,310
I'll talk to my clients, no problem.

460
00:28:01,311 --> 00:28:02,369
You're a prince.

461
00:28:02,370 --> 00:28:03,420
Thanks.

462
00:28:03,750 --> 00:28:04,800
Lynette.

463
00:28:05,270 --> 00:28:06,650
Um, about last night?

464
00:28:07,970 --> 00:28:09,020
Arnie, please.

465
00:28:09,410 --> 00:28:13,129
There's nothing more to say. You're
making too much out of it. These things

466
00:28:13,130 --> 00:28:14,169
happen to men.

467
00:28:14,170 --> 00:28:15,220
Not to me.

468
00:28:15,330 --> 00:28:16,950
You've been under a lot of stress.

469
00:28:17,250 --> 00:28:21,040
Your mother, your father, all this
Oedipal drama stuff could drive anyone

470
00:28:21,350 --> 00:28:22,670
I understand completely.

471
00:28:22,671 --> 00:28:25,209
So you're not going to hold it against
me?

472
00:28:25,210 --> 00:28:26,260
Of course not.

473
00:28:26,530 --> 00:28:27,670
So how about Saturday?

474
00:28:27,770 --> 00:28:29,150
Dinner catered at my place?

475
00:28:29,510 --> 00:28:33,480
Actually, I was hoping to get Foster out
by the weekend, and once Foster's out,

476
00:28:33,530 --> 00:28:34,580
then...

477
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:39,279
Arnie, you're a very sweet boy, and I'm
sure that you're very adequate when

478
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:40,540
you're not so distracted.

479
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,980
But Foster, I guess I'm kind of spoiled,
if you know what I mean.

480
00:28:45,620 --> 00:28:46,670
Uh -huh.

481
00:28:46,671 --> 00:28:50,159
So, once you've had a chance to review
with the ladies, give me a call, and

482
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,540
take you out for a nice lunch.

483
00:29:14,659 --> 00:29:15,979
Where is my prescription?

484
00:29:15,980 --> 00:29:17,519
Why didn't my prescription come?

485
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:18,960
Mort Pressman's on vacation.

486
00:29:19,140 --> 00:29:20,190
I told you.

487
00:29:20,191 --> 00:29:23,679
I can't take this anymore. It's dark. I
won't be able to sleep. I just lie there

488
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:24,730
all night shaking.

489
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,380
So you'll come home with me.

490
00:29:28,020 --> 00:29:29,220
No, Alex, I can't.

491
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,959
When you were a little boy and you
stayed home sick, did you ever have

492
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,340
soup with crackers all crumpled up on
top?

493
00:29:37,940 --> 00:29:38,990
Yeah.

494
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,960
In a big blue bowl so I wouldn't spill
it on my bed.

495
00:29:43,020 --> 00:29:45,060
And a glass of milk and Oreos.

496
00:29:45,300 --> 00:29:49,030
I don't like that yucky white stuff in
the middle. I'll scrape it off for you.

497
00:29:49,180 --> 00:29:51,420
And you'll be real warm and snuggly.

498
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,260
I have this soft blankie my grandma
made.

499
00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,220
It's feathers inside and fleecy cotton
on the outside.

500
00:30:00,500 --> 00:30:03,620
And we'll just watch old shows on TV
until you can fall asleep.

501
00:30:04,820 --> 00:30:08,640
I have all the old Star Treks on
cassette.

502
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,410
Even one with the triples where they
start multiplying?

503
00:30:12,700 --> 00:30:14,040
Yep. Does that sound good?

504
00:30:15,180 --> 00:30:17,640
I really don't like the Oreos, though.

505
00:30:18,540 --> 00:30:23,059
Could we stop and get some graham
crackers and maybe some chocolate syrup

506
00:30:23,060 --> 00:30:25,100
the milk? Remember the straws that bend?

507
00:30:25,740 --> 00:30:27,000
Anything you want, Arden.

508
00:30:46,101 --> 00:30:48,009
What happened?

509
00:30:48,010 --> 00:30:49,060
My dog is gone.

510
00:30:49,150 --> 00:30:50,200
Mr. Brackman took it.

511
00:30:56,250 --> 00:30:57,300
Where is he?

512
00:30:57,770 --> 00:30:58,890
I think he took my dog.

513
00:31:03,350 --> 00:31:05,330
We took a little walk to the pet shop.

514
00:31:05,910 --> 00:31:07,250
He's not a bad dog, really.

515
00:31:07,251 --> 00:31:09,589
He just gets anxious when you leave him
alone.

516
00:31:09,590 --> 00:31:10,609
Thank you, Douglas.

517
00:31:10,610 --> 00:31:12,290
I really appreciate it.

518
00:31:12,970 --> 00:31:15,610
You know, I brought a stray home once
when I was a boy.

519
00:31:15,611 --> 00:31:19,779
But my father gave him to the gardener
because he was always jumping on the

520
00:31:19,780 --> 00:31:20,830
furniture.

521
00:31:20,900 --> 00:31:23,610
Where's his leash? I'll take him back to
my office now.

522
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:28,679
It occurred to me, since you're having a
hard time placing him, why don't I take

523
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,450
him? Do you want him? I've always had a
way with animals.

524
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,460
I prefer their company to some people in
many cases.

525
00:31:35,260 --> 00:31:36,310
I don't mean you.

526
00:31:37,220 --> 00:31:39,390
I've taken the liberty of giving him a
name.

527
00:31:39,980 --> 00:31:41,030
Sparky.

528
00:31:41,540 --> 00:31:42,920
I'm very grateful, Douglas.

529
00:31:42,921 --> 00:31:46,459
But do you really think this is going to
work out? He'll have a nice backyard to

530
00:31:46,460 --> 00:31:48,810
run in. It's better than destroying the
office.

531
00:31:48,811 --> 00:31:52,659
While he was in the file room, he made
rather a meal out of the Roaner versus

532
00:31:52,660 --> 00:31:53,710
Gradinger file.

533
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:54,770
Oh.

534
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:56,410
Bad dog.

535
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,320
He doesn't understand why you're yelling
at him.

536
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,920
Unless you discipline him at the scene
of the crime, it just confuses the

537
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,120
Isn't that right, Sparky?

538
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:08,210
Isn't that right?

539
00:32:10,551 --> 00:32:17,179
And in addition to the evidentiary
errors, Your Honor, I would ask for a

540
00:32:17,180 --> 00:32:19,179
trial on the grounds of AIDS stress
syndrome.

541
00:32:19,180 --> 00:32:22,719
What? Recent studies have shown that
psychological and emotional trauma

542
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,790
associated with AIDS might impact the
ability to act freely.

543
00:32:25,791 --> 00:32:29,519
You're talking diminished capacity,
Counselor. You didn't raise it at trial,

544
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,619
it's waived. Well, the thing is, these
are new studies, Your Honor, and I...

545
00:32:32,620 --> 00:32:36,230
Nice try, Mr. Gilliam, but you're not
going to get another bite with that.

546
00:32:36,231 --> 00:32:41,079
Well, the truth is, Your Honor, I didn't
raise it at trial because I didn't know

547
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,130
about it.

548
00:32:42,270 --> 00:32:45,160
I just learned of the AIDS syndrome
defense yesterday. Ms.

549
00:32:45,810 --> 00:32:47,010
Van Owen told me about it.

550
00:32:47,050 --> 00:32:49,580
Ms. Van Owen counseled you on this? Yes,
Your Honor.

551
00:32:49,581 --> 00:32:54,169
And in light of my complete lack of
knowledge of this vital defense, I feel

552
00:32:54,170 --> 00:32:57,769
I must, as an officer of the court, move
for a new trial on the grounds that I

553
00:32:57,770 --> 00:33:00,690
was incompetent in my representation of
Mr. Appleton.

554
00:33:03,210 --> 00:33:07,110
Ms. Van Owen, did you, in fact, discuss
these matters with Mr. Gilliam?

555
00:33:08,610 --> 00:33:09,690
Yes, Your Honor, I did.

556
00:33:11,050 --> 00:33:15,030
Well, I'm going to require briefs on
this, but my inclination is to grant Mr.

557
00:33:15,130 --> 00:33:16,180
Gilliam's motion.

558
00:33:16,670 --> 00:33:17,810
Briefs due in 10 days.

559
00:33:18,350 --> 00:33:21,370
The defendant to remain free on bail
until my final ruling.

560
00:33:22,770 --> 00:33:23,820
20 -minute recess.

561
00:33:26,030 --> 00:33:27,080
Thank you.

562
00:33:31,370 --> 00:33:32,420
Ms.

563
00:33:36,630 --> 00:33:40,330
Van Owen, I owe you my gratitude.

564
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:42,220
You don't owe me anything.

565
00:33:42,700 --> 00:33:44,820
I appreciate your seeing me as a person.

566
00:33:45,460 --> 00:33:49,780
Not as a cause or disease or an issue,
but a human being.

567
00:33:52,020 --> 00:33:53,560
Good luck, Mr. Alton.

568
00:33:53,820 --> 00:33:54,870
Thank you.

569
00:33:57,540 --> 00:33:58,590
Thank you.

570
00:34:13,770 --> 00:34:14,820
Who made my bail?

571
00:34:14,821 --> 00:34:16,468
Your mother.

572
00:34:16,469 --> 00:34:18,210
She put up her house as collateral.

573
00:34:19,250 --> 00:34:20,300
Great lady, man.

574
00:34:23,230 --> 00:34:24,610
Where are you going, Jimmy?

575
00:34:24,611 --> 00:34:28,888
Slate. I got friends. Your mother wants
you to move in with her. That way I can

576
00:34:28,889 --> 00:34:30,999
keep tabs on you for a while. Oh, yeah,
sure.

577
00:34:31,250 --> 00:34:34,260
Eleven months on death row, and I'm
going to move in with Mom.

578
00:34:35,530 --> 00:34:39,968
Well, I'd like you to consider a halfway
house. Hey, you're my lawyer, man, not

579
00:34:39,969 --> 00:34:41,019
my social worker.

580
00:34:41,020 --> 00:34:45,529
I am also responsible for putting you
back on the street.

581
00:34:45,530 --> 00:34:50,110
Yeah. Well, take a load off, Counselor.
I'll take responsibility from here.

582
00:34:50,650 --> 00:34:51,700
Jimmy.

583
00:34:52,170 --> 00:34:53,989
I appreciate what you've done, Mr.

584
00:34:54,190 --> 00:34:58,290
Cusack. But listen, while I'm free,
nobody's going to tell me what to do.

585
00:34:58,810 --> 00:34:59,860
Nobody.

586
00:35:00,290 --> 00:35:01,550
Don't make me regret this.

587
00:35:03,210 --> 00:35:04,590
Life's full of regrets, man.

588
00:35:04,750 --> 00:35:05,800
See you around.

589
00:35:21,140 --> 00:35:22,190
What? Nothing.

590
00:35:23,060 --> 00:35:24,740
Do you have something to say to me?

591
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,010
You bet I do.

592
00:35:26,011 --> 00:35:29,699
Well, why don't you say it instead of
slamming around like the dragon lady?

593
00:35:29,700 --> 00:35:33,599
I have tried to keep my mouth shut about
the Petrovic case. I have tried not to

594
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,939
let my disagreements with your beliefs
in this matter get in the way of my

595
00:35:36,940 --> 00:35:38,260
personal feelings for you.

596
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:44,640
But getting this crazy animal out on
bail, it's unconscionable. How could

597
00:35:45,050 --> 00:35:47,090
The man was wrongfully convicted, Grace.

598
00:35:47,230 --> 00:35:51,230
Are you saying he didn't do it? I'm
saying that his conviction was tainted.

599
00:35:51,370 --> 00:35:53,470
Michael. And he deserves a new trial.

600
00:35:53,810 --> 00:35:55,690
He's innocent until proven guilty.

601
00:35:55,691 --> 00:35:58,969
That's a principle you don't turn your
back on just because he's accused of

602
00:35:58,970 --> 00:36:02,460
committing a heinous crime. It's one
thing to stick up for a principle.

603
00:36:02,930 --> 00:36:06,849
But you have carried this anti -death
penalty thing to the point where you are

604
00:36:06,850 --> 00:36:08,510
jeopardizing innocent people.

605
00:36:08,511 --> 00:36:12,059
In other words, if people are frightened
enough, it's okay to suspend certain

606
00:36:12,060 --> 00:36:13,320
constitutional rights?

607
00:36:13,380 --> 00:36:17,360
The man is a crazed killer. He did it.
He will do it again.

608
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:21,760
And when he does, it'll be on your
hands. Oh, you've got a hell of a nerve,

609
00:36:21,761 --> 00:36:22,759
Grace. Why?

610
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,639
Because I dare to disagree with the
great civil libertarian. Look, I don't

611
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,710
punish you for your opinions. Don't
punish me for mine, okay?

612
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:34,930
Hello?

613
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:36,980
Yeah, this is Michael Kudak.

614
00:36:51,491 --> 00:36:57,719
The man knocked over a liquor store.
That's what happened. And four

615
00:36:57,720 --> 00:36:59,899
detectives just happened to be there,
ready to gun him down?

616
00:36:59,900 --> 00:37:02,239
He pointed a pistol at them. They were
justified.

617
00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:03,800
It was an ambush, and you know it.

618
00:37:03,801 --> 00:37:07,459
That punk was sticking a gun in people's
faces less than ten hours after his

619
00:37:07,460 --> 00:37:10,290
release. Those cops executed Petrovic,
and you set it up.

620
00:37:10,291 --> 00:37:13,639
If you mean did I tell the police to
follow him, you're damn right.

621
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,770
Am I glad he got killed before he killed
somebody else? You bet.

622
00:37:16,771 --> 00:37:19,539
You just bought yourself a wrongful
death action.

623
00:37:19,540 --> 00:37:20,600
Take your best shot.

624
00:37:20,601 --> 00:37:24,399
You got about as much chance of that as
I had of keeping that sleaze locked up

625
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:25,450
in the first place.

626
00:37:37,020 --> 00:37:38,580
Arnold, what's this all about?

627
00:37:38,581 --> 00:37:41,259
Summoning your mother to your office
like a total stranger.

628
00:37:41,260 --> 00:37:45,179
I had to break a three o 'clock date
with Louise Swanson at the polo lounge,

629
00:37:45,180 --> 00:37:45,869
God's sake.

630
00:37:45,870 --> 00:37:50,890
And this man tells me that my son is
representing him in a divorce

631
00:37:51,070 --> 00:37:53,480
Go ahead, Arnold. Tell her that you're
my lawyer.

632
00:37:53,590 --> 00:37:55,310
How dare you do this to me?

633
00:37:55,311 --> 00:37:59,689
Like father, like son. Lucky for him,
you'd have turned him into a backbiting,

634
00:37:59,690 --> 00:38:03,630
bedwetting, flute -playing little fat
boy wimp. Enough, both of you.

635
00:38:04,470 --> 00:38:07,570
Just sit down and be quiet.

636
00:38:11,621 --> 00:38:18,849
Miss Melvin is taking notes to reflect
that in the matter of Becker v. Becker,

637
00:38:18,850 --> 00:38:22,389
both parties have requested that their
son, Arnold Becker, represent them as

638
00:38:22,390 --> 00:38:23,440
their attorney.

639
00:38:23,441 --> 00:38:27,389
The record will further reflect that
Arnold Becker hereby refuses, upon pain

640
00:38:27,390 --> 00:38:30,100
death, to represent either party in a
legal capacity.

641
00:38:31,010 --> 00:38:35,169
In his capacity as son, however, he
would like to state that it's about time

642
00:38:35,170 --> 00:38:38,429
both parties grew up and stopped using
the aforementioned son to bludgeon each

643
00:38:38,430 --> 00:38:39,480
other.

644
00:38:39,481 --> 00:38:43,229
It would further suggest that in
recognition of 40 years together, the

645
00:38:43,230 --> 00:38:46,269
might at least attempt some counseling
before they decide to throw in the towel

646
00:38:46,270 --> 00:38:47,320
on this marriage.

647
00:38:47,321 --> 00:38:52,309
In the event, however, the parties
choose to disregard this advice, they

648
00:38:52,310 --> 00:38:55,549
course, free to seek counsel, get a
divorce, and split up their property any

649
00:38:55,550 --> 00:38:57,910
they want, leaving their son totally out
of it.

650
00:39:00,030 --> 00:39:06,810
You see, Mom, Dad, you're only child.

651
00:39:08,620 --> 00:39:11,860
Your baby boy is 36 years old.

652
00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:15,990
And neither one of you is going to get
custody.

653
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,250
Is that clear?

654
00:39:20,631 --> 00:39:27,139
We have to sell the house. There won't
even be enough left for two lousy one

655
00:39:27,140 --> 00:39:29,860
-bedroom condos. Social security goes
down, too.

656
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,490
I guess if you really hate Palm Springs,
we can talk about moving back.

657
00:39:35,790 --> 00:39:40,010
Al, Bill came from the proctologist for
a surgical consultation.

658
00:39:40,011 --> 00:39:44,329
I didn't want to worry you. Don Wallace
team went through the same operation. He

659
00:39:44,330 --> 00:39:45,410
was in and out in a week.

660
00:40:00,630 --> 00:40:02,370
Arnie, it just came.

661
00:40:03,150 --> 00:40:04,200
It's so beautiful.

662
00:40:05,020 --> 00:40:06,070
Really like them?

663
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,580
I can't believe it.

664
00:40:08,620 --> 00:40:10,760
It's nicer than the Christina Amorelli.

665
00:40:11,020 --> 00:40:12,880
It's because it's the Roxanne Melman.

666
00:40:12,940 --> 00:40:15,770
I told Bennett it was for the most
special lady in my life.

667
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:17,780
Marty, thank you.

668
00:40:18,220 --> 00:40:19,270
No.

669
00:40:20,300 --> 00:40:21,460
No, thank you, Rox.

670
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,800
Last night was, uh... It was really,
really special for me.

671
00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:30,000
Would you, um, like to again?

672
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:31,740
I mean, come over?

673
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:34,130
No.

674
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:35,810
I don't think so, Rox.

675
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:37,920
Oh, you've got a date.

676
00:40:37,921 --> 00:40:39,139
Oh, no.

677
00:40:39,140 --> 00:40:43,619
Truth is, I'm just not so sure I could
trust myself to be such a gentleman

678
00:40:43,620 --> 00:40:44,670
again.

679
00:40:47,580 --> 00:40:48,630
I love you.

680
00:41:06,819 --> 00:41:08,260
It's a police state, Lester.

681
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:09,570
I was kidding, who?

682
00:41:09,820 --> 00:41:11,440
A bunch of your boys got together.

683
00:41:11,660 --> 00:41:14,540
They decided to take the law into their
own hands.

684
00:41:14,541 --> 00:41:18,339
Man shouldn't have been on the streets
in the first place.

685
00:41:18,340 --> 00:41:22,539
So it's my fault he's dead? Is that what
we're saying here? We're saying it's

686
00:41:22,540 --> 00:41:23,559
his fault.

687
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,579
Unless they changed the law about
holding up liquor stores whilst I was

688
00:41:26,580 --> 00:41:27,960
believing myself in the men.

689
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,359
Yeah, well, he didn't deserve to be
gunned down by a bunch of fascist, gun

690
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,609
-toting cowboys who knew damn well they
were going to get away with it.

691
00:41:35,610 --> 00:41:39,289
To tell you the truth, Counselor, the
deceased was not a righteous individual.

692
00:41:39,290 --> 00:41:43,809
The deceased was a total freaking
degenerate drug -hunting killer who I,

693
00:41:43,810 --> 00:41:47,889
one, will not lose one minute's sleep
over. Well, what about the next guy

694
00:41:47,890 --> 00:41:49,330
hot dogs decide to blow away?

695
00:41:49,810 --> 00:41:52,940
Is it going to be because they don't
like the color of his skin?

696
00:41:52,941 --> 00:41:56,829
And they figure their own department is
willing to wink? At what amounts to

697
00:41:56,830 --> 00:41:58,490
sanctioned murder, Lester?

698
00:41:58,491 --> 00:42:03,909
Internal Affairs will investigate the
shooting, all right, and if it was out

699
00:42:03,910 --> 00:42:08,579
policy... The officers involved will be
dealt with accordingly, all right? This

700
00:42:08,580 --> 00:42:10,080
is a recorded message.

701
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,160
You're looking for a fight, huh, sport?

702
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,530
And I'm looking for a good night's
sleep, all right?

703
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:24,179
Do you find it ironic, Lester, that I
took this guy's case to prevent an

704
00:42:24,180 --> 00:42:27,920
execution, and I did my job so well it
got him killed?

705
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:32,890
Money.

706
00:42:33,420 --> 00:42:35,580
Do not let this philosopher drive home.

707
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:37,690
I'll call him a cab.

708
00:42:37,940 --> 00:42:39,160
No, no, no cab.

709
00:42:41,700 --> 00:42:42,750
Here.

710
00:42:42,900 --> 00:42:43,950
Call this number.

711
00:42:46,780 --> 00:42:49,660
And tell the lady that I need a ride
home.

712
00:42:50,420 --> 00:42:51,470
Bonnie.

713
00:42:52,260 --> 00:42:54,430
One more time while I ride you to your
house.

714
00:42:54,540 --> 00:42:55,590
No, Bonnie.

715
00:42:56,500 --> 00:42:57,550
Come on, Constable.

716
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:58,850
I'll walk you out.

717
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:00,360
Yeah, I'll do you good.

718
00:43:32,270 --> 00:43:37,329
officers everything all right sir oh

723
00:43:56,221 --> 00:43:59,299
I'm going to be waiting for my ride.

724
00:43:59,300 --> 00:44:02,620
Maybe you ought to wait in the unit,
sir, until your ride shows up.

725
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:05,100
Am I under arrest?

726
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:06,490
Not yet, sir.

727
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,170
Wow.

728
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:15,900
Now, am I under arrest?

729
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:21,260
I'm DDA Van Owen.

730
00:44:21,980 --> 00:44:23,680
Is that you, Gracie? Yeah.

731
00:44:26,350 --> 00:44:30,530
I think it is a personal favor if you'd
help me get Mr. Kuzak into my car,

732
00:44:30,610 --> 00:44:32,650
officer. Oh, yes, ma 'am.

733
00:44:33,210 --> 00:44:35,690
I am not drunk.

734
00:44:36,590 --> 00:44:37,640
I don't know.

735
00:44:40,970 --> 00:44:42,020
Oh, boy.

736
00:44:42,070 --> 00:44:43,130
Oh, boy, come on.

737
00:44:43,910 --> 00:44:48,390
I'm going to get you into a cold shower
with some hot coffee and then into bed.

738
00:44:48,870 --> 00:44:49,920
The truth?

739
00:44:50,790 --> 00:44:52,270
I am glad the guy's dead.

740
00:44:52,790 --> 00:44:55,740
And what if he'd done it again? I
couldn't live with myself.

741
00:44:57,770 --> 00:44:58,970
So, tell me.

742
00:44:59,370 --> 00:45:01,430
What? Does that make me a hypocrite?

743
00:45:03,690 --> 00:45:06,030
No. It makes you human.

744
00:45:08,270 --> 00:45:09,350
Thank you, Gracie.

745
00:45:10,210 --> 00:45:11,260
I love you.

746
00:45:11,550 --> 00:45:14,570
And I feel terrible about everything
that's happened.

747
00:45:15,370 --> 00:45:17,770
And I'm going to feel like a jerk in the
morning.

748
00:45:18,390 --> 00:45:21,280
But I still think you're wrong about
capital punishment.

749
00:45:21,281 --> 00:45:25,849
When I become Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court, there are going to be

750
00:45:25,850 --> 00:45:26,900
changes made.

751
00:45:29,390 --> 00:45:30,830
Come on, Mr. Chief Justice.

752
00:45:36,590 --> 00:45:41,950
I feel better.

753
00:45:42,350 --> 00:45:43,400
Here you go.

754
00:45:44,050 --> 00:45:46,050
Come on.
