1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:03,000
Previously on L .A. Law.

2
00:00:03,001 --> 00:00:04,579
What the hell are they doing here?

3
00:00:04,580 --> 00:00:06,619
What does it look like they're doing?
They're having dinner.

4
00:00:06,620 --> 00:00:07,699
You think it's social?

5
00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:08,780
It couldn't be social.

6
00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:16,058
We don't like your methods. We don't
like the secrecy. We've called this

7
00:00:16,059 --> 00:00:19,119
to make our feelings clear. Fine. I am
passing the senior partnership

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,240
temporarily over to Douglas. You can't
do that. I certainly can.

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,920
This bus accident is not the kind of
case Mackenzie Brackman takes on.

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,420
I'm sorry. I don't mean to be abrupt.

11
00:00:30,990 --> 00:00:33,650
We settled with a bus company for $225
,000.

12
00:00:34,090 --> 00:00:39,370
And here is a check made payable to the
firm for $36 ,400.

13
00:00:40,390 --> 00:00:43,270
Oh. My birthday isn't until Thursday.

14
00:00:43,271 --> 00:00:47,129
Agreed. But since you seem to be
particularly anxious about it, I thought

15
00:00:47,130 --> 00:00:51,510
take the opportunity to remind you every
day this week. The big 4 -0. 39.

16
00:00:51,511 --> 00:00:55,989
Look, in case you two are planning any
surprise parties, forget it. I am not

17
00:00:55,990 --> 00:00:57,370
celebrating this birthday.

18
00:00:57,890 --> 00:00:58,940
Everybody quiet.

19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,780
I'm going to go get Arnie now.

20
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,160
Okay. Okay.

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,780
Arnie, are you in there? It's me,
Roxanne.

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,130
Go away.

23
00:01:10,460 --> 00:01:11,510
Arnie.

24
00:01:15,380 --> 00:01:22,300
Damn it, Roxanne.

25
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:23,370
Enough is enough.

26
00:01:23,371 --> 00:01:25,979
This has been going on for over a week.
I cannot take any more of this

27
00:01:25,980 --> 00:01:29,779
hostility. I would think, under the
circumstances, I would get a little

28
00:01:29,780 --> 00:01:30,830
understanding.

29
00:01:30,831 --> 00:01:35,059
The circumstances were that your wife
was out there organizing a surprise

30
00:01:35,060 --> 00:01:39,299
birthday party to show you how much she
loves you while you were in here

31
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:40,980
committing sex acts with a client.

32
00:01:40,981 --> 00:01:43,819
Exactly. And do you have any idea what
it's like for me to have to cope with

33
00:01:43,820 --> 00:01:44,599
such a guilt?

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,650
Oh, please.

35
00:01:45,651 --> 00:01:49,399
Think about it, Roxanne. The easy thing
to do would be to confess, to cleanse my

36
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,719
conscience and unload the burden. But I
don't. You want to know why I don't?

37
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,479
Because it would hurt Corinne too much.

38
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,959
And I couldn't bear the thought of doing
that. So I hold it all in, suffering

39
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,840
all the pain myself for her sake.

40
00:02:00,420 --> 00:02:01,470
You're incredible.

41
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,130
Roxanne.

42
00:02:04,540 --> 00:02:07,560
I wasn't going to say this, but... And I
don't want you to worry.

43
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:10,689
But I'm sick.

44
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:12,199
What do you mean you're sick?

45
00:02:12,220 --> 00:02:14,690
It's nothing to panic about yet, but I'm
not well.

46
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:18,960
I have satiriasis.

47
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:20,350
Satir -what?

48
00:02:20,899 --> 00:02:25,119
Satiriasis, abnormally excessive sexual
compulsion, probably caused by a small

49
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,319
lesion on my hypothalamus. Now, the
doctors, they think it's treatable, but

50
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,339
have to go through some more tests. So
right now, I'm just, I'm trying to think

51
00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:33,390
positive.

52
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,800
Satiriasis. I'm going to beat this.

53
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,860
With the support of my family and my
friends, I know I can beat this.

54
00:02:40,460 --> 00:02:41,820
Just be there for me, Rox.

55
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:43,710
Give me strength.

56
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:18,850
you

57
00:05:04,740 --> 00:05:07,810
All right, let's get started, people.
We've got a full docket.

58
00:05:07,811 --> 00:05:12,059
First up, as senior partner, I've taken
the liberty of setting up a few meetings

59
00:05:12,060 --> 00:05:16,159
with some of you this week regarding
various administrative matters. Stuart,

60
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,590
and I will meet after we're done here.
Ann, I've got you slated for 2 .15.

61
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:24,179
Michael, 11 .30 tomorrow, please. I'm
not sure I'm free. You are. I confirm

62
00:05:24,180 --> 00:05:24,999
your secretary.

63
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,639
Jonathan, Tommy, I also have projects
for you, which we can discuss later.

64
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,619
did you send Abby? She was rushing...
Abby's in court handling another matter.

65
00:05:31,620 --> 00:05:33,869
assigned her under my authority as
senior partner.

66
00:05:33,870 --> 00:05:37,770
She'll be back by noon. Moving on. Shaw
versus Gendler. Oh, yeah, that's mine.

67
00:05:37,771 --> 00:05:41,069
We represent the buyer of a house trying
to rescind the sale.

68
00:05:41,070 --> 00:05:44,440
Trial starts today. What grounds for the
rescission? It's haunted.

69
00:05:44,610 --> 00:05:47,510
Haunted? I beg your pardon? The house is
haunted.

70
00:05:48,110 --> 00:05:50,940
Two -day trial at most. We should be
finished up by Friday.

71
00:05:52,090 --> 00:05:54,440
Grace, where does your court -martial
stand?

72
00:05:54,441 --> 00:05:55,409
We go today.

73
00:05:55,410 --> 00:05:56,730
Where's the defense here?

74
00:05:56,731 --> 00:06:00,039
The guy dissipated direct order during
combat. What bigger form of treason can

75
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:00,539
there be?

76
00:06:00,540 --> 00:06:03,970
Refusing to attack innocent civilians
doesn't spell treason to me.

77
00:06:03,971 --> 00:06:05,059
They weren't civilians.

78
00:06:05,060 --> 00:06:09,039
They were soldiers in the Panama Defense
Force guarding General Noriega. You

79
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,840
don't know that. I certainly know that
Noriega had to be captured. Not that

80
00:06:12,860 --> 00:06:17,480
he didn't. Innocent people... It was an
excellent surgical strike. Oh, come on.

81
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,450
We were looking for an excuse to shatter
the wimp image.

82
00:06:20,451 --> 00:06:24,119
That invasion was overkill. That's
enough. You want to malign the United

83
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:24,779
of America?

84
00:06:24,780 --> 00:06:25,900
Do it on your own time.

85
00:06:26,220 --> 00:06:29,530
not during the staff meeting while I'm
in charge. We're adjourned.

86
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:35,610
What's up?

87
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:38,580
I've decided to take you off the Mancuso
trial.

88
00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:43,660
What? It makes more sense to let one of
our own full -time litigators handle it,

89
00:06:43,661 --> 00:06:47,119
so I'm... I'm a good trial lawyer,
Douglas. Of course you are, but Michael,

90
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,759
Victor, Anne, Grace, Tommy, Jonathan,
even Abby have more experience, plus

91
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,119
which... Your running off to court all
the time makes our tax department seem

92
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,959
half -assed, and we can't have that,
especially with the new regulations

93
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,340
becoming law. You can't just pull me off
a case like this. Yes, I can.

94
00:07:02,780 --> 00:07:03,920
I'm the senior partner.

95
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,240
This isn't a demotion.

96
00:07:05,241 --> 00:07:08,819
It's just that in order for this firm to
function at its highest level, we have

97
00:07:08,820 --> 00:07:11,999
to get everybody here doing what they do
best. With you, it's taxes. Well, I

98
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,319
don't want to do taxes for the rest of
my life. I'm sorry. My decision is

99
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,340
You're our only tax expert.

100
00:07:17,620 --> 00:07:19,360
We need you more there than in court.

101
00:07:19,540 --> 00:07:23,090
I trust you to recognize this and do
what's best for the firm. That's all.

102
00:07:26,691 --> 00:07:33,799
We'd been in the house about five weeks
when we began to hear it. What exactly

103
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,240
did you hear? It was muted like moaning.

104
00:07:36,660 --> 00:07:39,190
We first thought it sounded like a
wounded animal.

105
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,020
But then as we listened, it was a woman,
a woman in pain.

106
00:07:43,021 --> 00:07:45,499
Did you and your husband both hear this?
Yes.

107
00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:49,050
That's the only reason I know I'm not
crazy, because Jimmy heard it too.

108
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:55,419
It was this throaty, muted, like a woman
trying to cry, but she couldn't. Where

109
00:07:55,420 --> 00:07:57,770
were you when you heard this? We were in
our bed.

110
00:07:57,771 --> 00:08:01,279
We got up and we looked all over the
house and we didn't find anything.

111
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,170
But then as we walked back into the
bedroom, it got louder.

112
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,280
Not loud ever, but louder.

113
00:08:06,281 --> 00:08:09,839
And when we got back to the bed, that's
when we knew it. Knew what?

114
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,339
Well, that the sounds were coming from
inside the bedroom.

115
00:08:12,340 --> 00:08:13,480
Was anyone else there?

116
00:08:13,580 --> 00:08:15,810
No, there was no one else in the entire
house.

117
00:08:15,940 --> 00:08:17,680
You must have been scared to death.

118
00:08:18,380 --> 00:08:19,430
Objection. I'm sorry.

119
00:08:19,700 --> 00:08:22,020
Did you ever hear any of these sounds
again?

120
00:08:22,380 --> 00:08:25,100
Yes, um, three more times over the next
week.

121
00:08:25,101 --> 00:08:28,809
We finally checked into a motel. Jimmy
looked up the history of the house

122
00:08:28,810 --> 00:08:31,070
because, well, we thought it was
haunted.

123
00:08:31,071 --> 00:08:33,889
And what did your husband's
investigation reveal?

124
00:08:33,890 --> 00:08:38,668
That in 1962, a woman by the name of
Nancy Atkins was stabbed to death in

125
00:08:38,669 --> 00:08:39,469
very room.

126
00:08:39,470 --> 00:08:43,129
The police never caught who did it. Did
you know this when you bought the house?

127
00:08:43,130 --> 00:08:46,509
Of course not. The only reason we found
out at all was because we heard that

128
00:08:46,510 --> 00:08:48,560
moaning. So now you want your money
back?

129
00:08:48,561 --> 00:08:50,089
There's something in there.

130
00:08:50,090 --> 00:08:53,330
I know it sounds crazy, and I'm not one
to believe in ghosts.

131
00:08:54,530 --> 00:08:58,230
But we slept in that bedroom, and we
know for a fact there's something in

132
00:08:58,470 --> 00:09:00,050
Thank you, Miss Shaw. That's all.

133
00:09:00,051 --> 00:09:06,169
About a month after you moved in, your
husband got laid off from work. Isn't

134
00:09:06,170 --> 00:09:06,709
that right?

135
00:09:06,710 --> 00:09:11,170
Objection. Relevant? This man took a new
job which paid him $700 less a month.

136
00:09:11,171 --> 00:09:14,069
They suddenly couldn't make the mortgage
payment, and they wanted out. We can

137
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:17,149
make the mortgage payment. You've tried
to sell this place, have you not? Yeah.

138
00:09:17,150 --> 00:09:19,529
Well, with the collapse of the real
estate market, you can't get what you

139
00:09:19,530 --> 00:09:23,189
for it. So you've come up with this
ghost story in order to get rescission

140
00:09:23,190 --> 00:09:26,129
the contract. We didn't come up with it.
We heard what we heard. There's moaning

141
00:09:26,130 --> 00:09:29,789
in that house. You were doing the
moaning over its declining market value.

142
00:09:29,790 --> 00:09:31,790
happened. All right, Mr. Klippner.
Sorry.

143
00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:34,090
Did you see any ghosts?

144
00:09:34,670 --> 00:09:37,930
Well, we didn't see anything, but...
Thank you, ma 'am.

145
00:09:38,250 --> 00:09:39,300
Nothing further.

146
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,890
Kennards and Brumette definitely tow the
army line.

147
00:09:54,891 --> 00:09:56,919
Our backs should be fairly sympathetic.

148
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,039
But other than that, the panel's pretty
stacked.

149
00:09:59,040 --> 00:09:59,959
Colonel Mathieu?

150
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:01,280
Fair judge. He's a good draw.

151
00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:04,310
Renaro is one of their top prosecutors,
though.

152
00:10:04,660 --> 00:10:06,400
They always use him for the big ones.

153
00:10:07,420 --> 00:10:08,740
I'll see what the holdup is.

154
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:11,640
Hang in there. Yes, sir.

155
00:10:16,660 --> 00:10:19,610
You'll be running the show in there,
right, Miss Fenowen?

156
00:10:19,740 --> 00:10:22,690
Well, no offense to Captain Danowitz. I
know he's on my side.

157
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:24,890
But he's Army.

158
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:29,080
And when all this is over, he still has
to answer to them. Well, I don't.

159
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:32,930
You'll get the best possible defense,
Robert. I promise you that.

160
00:10:32,980 --> 00:10:34,120
Do you think we can win?

161
00:10:36,380 --> 00:10:37,430
I don't know.

162
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,460
They only need two -thirds to convict,
and this is military court.

163
00:10:43,180 --> 00:10:45,530
The code name for the operation was Just
Cause.

164
00:10:45,531 --> 00:10:48,459
Our mission was to capture General
Noriega and bring him back to the United

165
00:10:48,460 --> 00:10:49,510
States for trial.

166
00:10:49,540 --> 00:10:53,639
But specifically, sir, what were you
trying to do on the night of December

167
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:54,690
1989?

168
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,179
I was in charge of Alpha Company in the
El Torrio section of Panama City, where

169
00:10:59,180 --> 00:11:01,859
there were about a thousand troops loyal
to General Noriega.

170
00:11:01,860 --> 00:11:04,499
Their communications were located in
three buildings.

171
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:06,060
My orders were to knock them out.

172
00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:10,019
And how did you proceed, Captain? I
deployed my men around the three

173
00:11:10,020 --> 00:11:13,810
when suddenly Lieutenant Braden's unit
became pinned down by sniper fire.

174
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,759
After discussing the situation with
Lieutenant Braden, I ordered him to use

175
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,010
tank and take out the snipers. And were
these orders carried out?

176
00:11:22,020 --> 00:11:23,480
No, he refused.

177
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:26,360
And when I repeated the order, he again
refused.

178
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,990
And this is while you were under enemy
fire?

179
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,090
Yes, sir.

180
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,119
After that... I gave the order to a
platoon sergeant who carried it out. The

181
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,879
sniper fire was suppressed, after which
I had Lieutenant Braden taken into

182
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,670
military custody where I preferred
charges for disobeying a direct order.

183
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,810
Thank you, sir.

184
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:51,640
Captain Jaworski, did Lieutenant Braden
offer any reason for his behavior?

185
00:11:51,641 --> 00:11:55,319
He claimed there were noncombatants
positioned inside the building.

186
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,000
Where were you, sir, at this time?

187
00:11:57,340 --> 00:12:01,859
I was at the CP, two blocks away. So
when Lieutenant Braden told you he saw

188
00:12:01,860 --> 00:12:05,180
civilians, you don't know that to be
false, do you?

189
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,430
Panamanian defense soldiers often dress
up as civilians.

190
00:12:08,431 --> 00:12:12,319
I'm familiar with the tactics of the
PDF, Captain, but we are talking about a

191
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,520
civilian neighborhood.

192
00:12:13,521 --> 00:12:17,699
Are you telling this panel there were no
innocent people around? No, I'm telling

193
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:18,750
this panel...

194
00:12:18,910 --> 00:12:22,849
that there were enemy soldiers
entrenched in that neighborhood, some of

195
00:12:22,850 --> 00:12:24,629
were spraying us with machine gun fire.

196
00:12:24,630 --> 00:12:28,749
So you started leveling buildings, even
though the Geneva Convention says you

197
00:12:28,750 --> 00:12:32,609
have a duty to minimize civilian
casualties. We took measures to ensure

198
00:12:32,610 --> 00:12:35,449
civilians cleared the area. What
measures were those, Captain?

199
00:12:35,450 --> 00:12:36,500
Artillery missions.

200
00:12:36,550 --> 00:12:37,600
Artillery missions.

201
00:12:38,090 --> 00:12:39,610
That means you shelled them.

202
00:12:39,611 --> 00:12:43,459
The bombardment was meant to discourage
them from remaining in the area. But

203
00:12:43,460 --> 00:12:48,519
we're talking about massive bombardment.
You shelled them. Isn't it possible

204
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,940
that these people were too scared to
move?

205
00:12:50,941 --> 00:12:54,749
I have no idea. So you just went in with
your tanks anyway? My men were under

206
00:12:54,750 --> 00:12:59,049
fire, counselor. You were under sniper
fire, and you respond by ordering your

207
00:12:59,050 --> 00:13:01,640
tanks to destroy an entire civilian
neighborhood.

208
00:13:01,641 --> 00:13:04,889
I am the one who has to write the
letters to their mothers and fathers

209
00:13:04,890 --> 00:13:08,200
them their son is dead. I am
responsible. What about the Panamanian

210
00:13:08,550 --> 00:13:09,630
Who writes to them?

211
00:13:10,030 --> 00:13:14,329
Objection, counsel. You give no warning
to evacuate. You just start shelling

212
00:13:14,330 --> 00:13:18,309
their homes. It was a war, lady. It
wasn't a war until we invaded. You don't

213
00:13:18,310 --> 00:13:19,409
know. You weren't there.

214
00:13:19,410 --> 00:13:23,339
Lieutenant Braden was. there. He was
looking at the innocent people you

215
00:13:23,340 --> 00:13:25,520
him to kill. Miss Van Owen, that's
enough.

216
00:13:27,820 --> 00:13:28,870
All right.

217
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,880
Let's adjourn for this afternoon.

218
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,180
We'll reconvene at 10 o 'clock tomorrow
morning.

219
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,170
We'd been pinned down for about 10
minutes.

220
00:13:46,140 --> 00:13:48,060
There were maybe 30 of us on foot.

221
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,260
about 200 feet from the building.

222
00:13:51,380 --> 00:13:53,790
I was positioning my tank when the order
came in.

223
00:13:53,980 --> 00:13:56,630
But, Lieutenant, you refused to execute
that order.

224
00:13:56,631 --> 00:13:57,779
Yes, ma 'am.

225
00:13:57,780 --> 00:13:59,320
Could you tell the court why?

226
00:14:01,180 --> 00:14:06,899
As I was looking through my night scope,
I saw many civilians in the area, all

227
00:14:06,900 --> 00:14:07,950
unarmed.

228
00:14:08,460 --> 00:14:10,040
There were women and old people.

229
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,160
And what did they appear to be doing?

230
00:14:12,220 --> 00:14:16,119
They appeared to be running for their
lives, ma 'am. Did any of them fire at

231
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,170
or your men?

232
00:14:17,260 --> 00:14:18,310
No, ma 'am.

233
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,450
And is this what you reported to Captain
Jaworski? Yes, ma 'am.

234
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,880
He just told me to carry out the order.

235
00:14:24,660 --> 00:14:25,710
But you refused.

236
00:14:25,940 --> 00:14:28,230
I would have killed too many innocent
people.

237
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,300
I just couldn't do that.

238
00:14:31,140 --> 00:14:32,280
Thank you, Lieutenant.

239
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,119
You were under machine gun fire, were
you not? In my opinion, there were many

240
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,100
more civilians than there were snipers.

241
00:14:48,110 --> 00:14:49,160
In your opinion.

242
00:14:49,790 --> 00:14:53,949
As part of your training in preparation
for the invasion of Panama City, you

243
00:14:53,950 --> 00:14:57,229
were told that Panamanian soldiers often
dressed up like civilians.

244
00:14:57,230 --> 00:14:58,280
Isn't that correct?

245
00:14:58,450 --> 00:15:03,409
Yes, sir. And yet here you are in
combat, suddenly deciding which is

246
00:15:03,410 --> 00:15:04,460
know what I saw.

247
00:15:04,770 --> 00:15:06,330
Those people weren't soldiers.

248
00:15:06,331 --> 00:15:09,409
Well, why don't you describe those
distinctions for us, Lieutenant?

249
00:15:09,410 --> 00:15:10,630
I saw them.

250
00:15:11,020 --> 00:15:12,070
They were in a panic.

251
00:15:12,260 --> 00:15:15,999
Is it possible these were PDF soldiers
in a panic in the face of the

252
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,320
overwhelming firepower?

253
00:15:17,321 --> 00:15:20,299
I didn't believe that to be the case,
sir. You didn't believe that to be the

254
00:15:20,300 --> 00:15:21,350
case.

255
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,180
So, based on your hunch, you decided to
disobey a direct order.

256
00:15:26,460 --> 00:15:28,140
Those people... Answer the question.

257
00:15:28,380 --> 00:15:29,700
Isn't that what happened?

258
00:15:31,460 --> 00:15:32,510
Yes, sir.

259
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,540
Thank you, Lieutenant.

260
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,570
That's all.

261
00:15:42,700 --> 00:15:44,480
You wanted us? Ah, you're both here.

262
00:15:44,700 --> 00:15:49,080
Great. Copy of our liability insurance
policy together with an assignment memo.

263
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,220
I need the research by 9 a .m. tomorrow.

264
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,459
Copy of our lease also attached to an
assignment memo. I need your research by

265
00:15:55,460 --> 00:15:58,399
the end of the day. Ann Kelsey's waiting
for me to shepherdize some cases

266
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,399
through Westlaw. You tell her the senior
partner took you off her case and put

267
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:03,450
you on his.

268
00:16:03,820 --> 00:16:06,290
Mary Jane, tell Mike Cusack I'm ready
for him now.

269
00:16:11,340 --> 00:16:12,390
Hello, Rox.

270
00:16:12,820 --> 00:16:13,870
Hi.

271
00:16:13,871 --> 00:16:17,979
Arnie's in probate all afternoon,
Corinne. I'm not even sure he's coming

272
00:16:17,980 --> 00:16:18,979
the office today.

273
00:16:18,980 --> 00:16:20,260
I know. I came to talk to you.

274
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:21,970
In private?

275
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:23,970
Okay.

276
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,210
What's up?

277
00:16:38,620 --> 00:16:40,240
I think Arnie's having an affair.

278
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,250
Excuse me?

279
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:44,760
Something's wrong. I can just feel it
with him.

280
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,400
For last week, he's been completely
solicitous.

281
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,920
Like he's feeling guilty.

282
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,580
I know it's unfair for me to come to you
like this.

283
00:17:03,700 --> 00:17:05,300
Is he having an affair?

284
00:17:07,020 --> 00:17:08,619
Not to my knowledge, no.

285
00:17:12,589 --> 00:17:15,569
So I'm just being paranoid.

286
00:17:17,589 --> 00:17:20,650
Nothing's happened. I'm just being
paranoid.

287
00:17:24,290 --> 00:17:25,340
Roxanne?

288
00:17:27,670 --> 00:17:33,770
I don't think it's appropriate for me to
talk about Arnie's personal life.

289
00:17:47,020 --> 00:17:49,460
This isn't an easy conversation,
Michael.

290
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:55,060
The time spent by this firm, mainly by
you on Earl Williams' murder defense,

291
00:17:55,360 --> 00:18:01,460
translates to a bill of $485 ,000, a
bill which to date remains unpaid.

292
00:18:01,461 --> 00:18:04,939
Yeah, well, he's obviously having a
difficult time right now. He never got

293
00:18:04,940 --> 00:18:07,160
job back. I know. I ran an assets check.

294
00:18:07,540 --> 00:18:11,620
He is, however, still living in a house
valued at $470 ,000.

295
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:15,120
I had Abby go after that house.

296
00:18:15,121 --> 00:18:16,139
You what?

297
00:18:16,140 --> 00:18:18,779
She got the prejudgment attachment
yesterday morning.

298
00:18:18,780 --> 00:18:21,619
You son of a bitch. Why wasn't I told
about it? Because you would have helped

299
00:18:21,620 --> 00:18:24,259
Earl oppose our motion. You're damn
right I would have helped him. Listen,

300
00:18:24,260 --> 00:18:26,779
Michael, I know you like this man,
but... But that's not the point. You

301
00:18:26,780 --> 00:18:29,839
behind my back, Douglas. Hear me out,
Michael. I will go into court myself

302
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,900
and... Hear me out!

303
00:18:31,740 --> 00:18:34,330
I have no intention of chasing Earl out
of his house.

304
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,499
But the assets check revealed he's
extremely deep in the red. He could sell

305
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:42,719
house to pay off those other debts, in
which case we'd be left with nothing.

306
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,980
This way we're protected.

307
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,920
And by securing the prejudgment, the
banks are more convinced of our

308
00:18:47,921 --> 00:18:51,539
giving me a better shot at getting a
loan we desperately need for expansion.

309
00:18:51,540 --> 00:18:53,950
I want that attachment dissolved
immediately.

310
00:18:53,980 --> 00:18:55,030
Do you hear me?

311
00:18:55,340 --> 00:18:57,870
That won't happen until he can guarantee
the debt.

312
00:18:58,380 --> 00:18:59,640
Time's up on you, Douglas.

313
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,070
I'll organize the lynching myself.
You're no senior partner.

314
00:19:03,380 --> 00:19:04,740
Not even for six weeks.

315
00:19:13,130 --> 00:19:18,030
And would you describe for the court
exactly what a parapsychologist is, Dr.

316
00:19:18,110 --> 00:19:21,670
Lewin? Well, briefly, I specialize in
psychical research.

317
00:19:22,450 --> 00:19:24,630
Paranormal or psychic occurrences.

318
00:19:24,850 --> 00:19:25,900
Ghosts? Yes.

319
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:30,879
Ghosts. I'd like to call your attention,
Doctor, to the residence located at 14

320
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:36,219
Oriole Drive in Las Feliz, California,
the home which is the subject of this

321
00:19:36,220 --> 00:19:39,579
proceeding. Did you ever have cause to
investigate this residence?

322
00:19:39,580 --> 00:19:43,819
Yes, I did. In 1982, I was called by the
owners of the house because they

323
00:19:43,820 --> 00:19:46,290
suspected the presence of a supernatural
being.

324
00:19:46,340 --> 00:19:47,390
1982?

325
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,580
So, these were people other than my
clients?

326
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,119
Yes. Yes, these would be the people who
eventually sold the home to the

327
00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:56,170
defendant. Thank you.

328
00:19:56,660 --> 00:20:00,390
And did your investigation confirm the
presence of a ghost in this house?

329
00:20:00,391 --> 00:20:03,639
Well, we definitely detected the
electromagnetic energy, yes.

330
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:04,439
Yes, we did.

331
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,850
I'm sorry, Doctor, you've lost me with
that one.

332
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,740
Inside every house, there's an
electromagnetic field.

333
00:20:09,980 --> 00:20:15,139
In very simple terms, this field can
absorb the emotional energy expended in

334
00:20:15,140 --> 00:20:16,190
that environment.

335
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:22,380
In cases of extreme emotional intensity,
this field can almost well record it,

336
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,560
then play it back.

337
00:20:24,260 --> 00:20:29,779
That playback, if you will, would be
what we call a ghost. So if a gruesome

338
00:20:29,780 --> 00:20:35,579
murder occurred in this field, is there
a chance it would be recorded

339
00:20:35,580 --> 00:20:37,560
electromagnetically? Oh, absolutely.

340
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,879
And judging from my investigation of
this house, the emotional energy of that

341
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,380
murder is, in fact, still present there.
The house is haunted?

342
00:20:45,950 --> 00:20:47,230
In layman's terms, yes.

343
00:20:47,670 --> 00:20:48,850
The house is haunted.

344
00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:50,550
Thank you, Doctor. That's all.

345
00:20:52,790 --> 00:20:54,960
Did you see any apparitions in this
house?

346
00:20:55,150 --> 00:20:59,369
No, and nothing showed up on infrared.
But the Geiger countings were off the

347
00:20:59,370 --> 00:21:01,390
chart. Uh -huh. Did you hear the
moaning?

348
00:21:01,950 --> 00:21:05,450
Personally, no, but two sets of owners
have. He was a ghost on playback.

349
00:21:05,730 --> 00:21:07,550
Probably hopped right out of the VCR.

350
00:21:07,930 --> 00:21:09,550
Objection. I'll tell you this, Mr.

351
00:21:09,690 --> 00:21:14,249
Klippner. I conduct over 200
investigations of ghost sightings every

352
00:21:14,250 --> 00:21:15,630
majority of which I dismiss.

353
00:21:15,810 --> 00:21:17,310
This one I did not.

354
00:21:18,210 --> 00:21:21,470
Like Mrs. Shaw said, there is something
present in that house.

355
00:21:21,670 --> 00:21:25,989
Last year, you investigated a ghost in a
San Diego house where strange singing

356
00:21:25,990 --> 00:21:27,310
had occurred, didn't you?

357
00:21:27,430 --> 00:21:29,050
Objection. Ghost to credibility.

358
00:21:29,051 --> 00:21:31,889
Overruled. And you concluded there was a
ghost in that one, too, didn't you?

359
00:21:31,890 --> 00:21:34,029
There was a psychic presence, that's
correct.

360
00:21:34,030 --> 00:21:35,530
And you identified this ghost.

361
00:21:35,790 --> 00:21:39,350
I didn't have enough data to form a
conclusion. But you had an opinion,

362
00:21:39,910 --> 00:21:44,190
Yes, I did. And in your opinion, Doctor,
who was doing the singing?

363
00:21:47,659 --> 00:21:48,709
Elvis Presley.

364
00:21:50,360 --> 00:21:51,410
Nothing further.

365
00:21:52,911 --> 00:21:59,819
I've been a journalist for the Miami
Tribune for the last seven years.

366
00:21:59,820 --> 00:22:01,990
And you have been assigned to Panama
City?

367
00:22:01,991 --> 00:22:05,989
Yes, specifically to investigate General
Noriega's involvement with Miami drug

368
00:22:05,990 --> 00:22:10,389
trafficking. Ms. Dawson, could you tell
us what transpired that night, December

369
00:22:10,390 --> 00:22:11,440
20th, 1989?

370
00:22:11,910 --> 00:22:17,409
Yes, I was interviewing one of my
sources in El Churrio, and suddenly the

371
00:22:17,410 --> 00:22:21,010
just lit up with fire. It was explosions
from American gunfire.

372
00:22:21,011 --> 00:22:22,389
What did you do?

373
00:22:22,390 --> 00:22:26,290
Well, we made it to a Catholic church.
It was the only brick building around,

374
00:22:26,291 --> 00:22:29,909
and people knew that it wouldn't burn,
but the rest of the town was just

375
00:22:29,910 --> 00:22:31,830
What did you see that night, Ms. Dawson?

376
00:22:31,890 --> 00:22:35,350
Mostly I saw American military and
American tanks.

377
00:22:36,030 --> 00:22:39,610
I saw members of the Panamanian Defense
Force fighting back.

378
00:22:39,870 --> 00:22:41,730
I saw people running for safety.

379
00:22:41,970 --> 00:22:43,650
There were civilians in the area?

380
00:22:43,651 --> 00:22:46,729
This was a residential neighborhood,
Counselor. People lived there.

381
00:22:46,730 --> 00:22:48,170
And were civilians killed?

382
00:22:48,630 --> 00:22:49,680
Many were killed.

383
00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:51,560
Thousands more were injured.

384
00:22:51,780 --> 00:22:57,380
The gentleman that I interviewed that
night, he was killed.

385
00:22:58,060 --> 00:22:59,110
He was a civilian.

386
00:22:59,620 --> 00:23:01,980
When did you find out that he had been
killed?

387
00:23:02,820 --> 00:23:05,440
Two months later, when I had to identify
his body.

388
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,320
He had been dug up from a mass grave.

389
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,760
What do you mean, ma 'am, when you say
his body was dug up?

390
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,160
There was more and more information
that...

391
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,859
The dead civilians were being rounded up
by American troops and buried in mass

392
00:23:20,860 --> 00:23:26,139
graves. To cover up the fact that
innocent lives had been lost, they

393
00:23:26,140 --> 00:23:28,380
into these big pits and buried them.

394
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,480
One of the mass graves was found.

395
00:23:31,140 --> 00:23:36,959
They found 123 rotting bodies in the
Yardin de Paz cemetery, stuffed into

396
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,040
plastic garbage bags.

397
00:23:38,300 --> 00:23:41,620
Who put them there? The U .S. Army
admitted to doing it.

398
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,080
No identification, no notification to
the families.

399
00:23:45,900 --> 00:23:50,839
Our military killed innocent civilians
and stuffed them into garbage bags. How

400
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,960
many civilian casualties resulted from
the United States invasion of Panama?

401
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,520
300 have been confirmed dead, but other
reports say maybe twice that.

402
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:01,480
We'll probably never know.

403
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,020
Why is that, ma 'am?

404
00:24:03,260 --> 00:24:04,320
In my opinion?

405
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:05,610
Yes.

406
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:10,519
Because the Army's engaged in a massive
cover -up. They killed a lot of innocent

407
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:15,280
people. They trampled an entire town and
left over 15 ,000 people homeless.

408
00:24:15,281 --> 00:24:18,999
And I don't think they want the people
back here to know about that.

409
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,320
Thank you, Ms. Dawson. I have nothing
further.

410
00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:33,390
Do you have any knowledge our military
was trying to kill civilians?

411
00:24:33,391 --> 00:24:36,899
No, and I don't believe they were. They
were after Noriega's men.

412
00:24:36,900 --> 00:24:37,719
That's right.

413
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,150
And did you ever see an American soldier
directly shoot a civilian?

414
00:24:41,699 --> 00:24:42,749
Directly at them?

415
00:24:42,900 --> 00:24:45,370
No, but with all the explosions... Thank
you, ma 'am.

416
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,379
And to your knowledge, it is possible
that Panamanian Defense Forces did

417
00:24:49,380 --> 00:24:52,570
the building Lieutenant Braden was
ordered to target, right?

418
00:24:52,571 --> 00:24:56,179
It's possible, yes, but that's not...
And ma 'am, just so I can be clear on

419
00:24:56,180 --> 00:25:00,160
predisposition here, you've written
various articles prior to this event,

420
00:25:00,300 --> 00:25:04,270
extremely critical of the United States
military presence in Panama, right?

421
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:06,570
Yes, that's right.

422
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,250
Thank you, Ms. Dawson.

423
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,210
That's all I have.

424
00:25:21,011 --> 00:25:22,819
How is this?

425
00:25:22,820 --> 00:25:24,620
It is you moving out. That's what it is.

426
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,810
Corinne, I don't... It is leaping
around.

427
00:25:27,020 --> 00:25:28,640
And this marriage is over.

428
00:25:29,140 --> 00:25:32,820
Hold on a second. You have no idea how
much you disgust me.

429
00:25:32,821 --> 00:25:36,999
I'm only more disgusted with myself for
getting taken in by you. I don't know

430
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,219
what you're talking about.

431
00:25:38,220 --> 00:25:39,179
Shut up!

432
00:25:39,180 --> 00:25:40,660
You just shut up!

433
00:25:41,260 --> 00:25:42,440
God, I hate you!

434
00:25:43,420 --> 00:25:46,000
Go back to bed, honey. Go on.

435
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:50,119
Why are you yelling? Just go back to bed
right now, okay? I'll be there in a

436
00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:51,170
minute.

437
00:25:56,140 --> 00:25:57,400
What have I done to her?

438
00:25:58,580 --> 00:26:00,480
I let her get attached to you.

439
00:26:01,620 --> 00:26:03,120
I let her love you.

440
00:26:04,740 --> 00:26:05,790
Oh, God.

441
00:26:06,020 --> 00:26:07,520
Corinne, let me explain.

442
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:09,220
No, Arnie, just get out.

443
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,480
Get out. Just get out now.

444
00:26:47,559 --> 00:26:51,460
Roxanne, you betrayed me. No, she
suspected you were having an affair.

445
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,959
And you confirmed it. No, all I did was
refuse to lie. It was an impossible

446
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,270
situation. Well, you won't ever have to
face it again. You're fired.

447
00:26:59,620 --> 00:27:04,219
What? Nobody does what you just did to
me. You ruined my life. You did this to

448
00:27:04,220 --> 00:27:06,779
yourself. Can't you at least
recognize... I said you're fired!

449
00:27:06,780 --> 00:27:10,019
I don't want to hear anything else from
you. Just pack your crap and get the

450
00:27:10,020 --> 00:27:11,070
hell out of here.

451
00:27:13,460 --> 00:27:15,680
Everybody, everywhere in this country...

452
00:27:15,980 --> 00:27:20,859
wanted to get General Noriega. So when
we invaded Panama a little over a year

453
00:27:20,860 --> 00:27:25,900
ago and finally flushed him out, we all
cheered.

454
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:31,099
But some of the cheering stopped when it
became clear exactly what our military

455
00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:32,150
had done.

456
00:27:32,220 --> 00:27:38,279
In violation of the Geneva Convention,
we disregarded the safety of innocent

457
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:44,520
people and used overwhelming firepower
to flatten a civilian neighborhood.

458
00:27:45,390 --> 00:27:50,650
Killing women, children, making 15 ,000
people homeless.

459
00:27:51,110 --> 00:27:52,890
We didn't warn anybody.

460
00:27:53,550 --> 00:27:55,750
We just went in blasting.

461
00:27:56,610 --> 00:27:59,230
Lieutenant Braden couldn't.

462
00:28:00,030 --> 00:28:06,549
I know I'm not Army, and you probably
look at me and think, how can she

463
00:28:06,550 --> 00:28:08,090
understand military?

464
00:28:08,430 --> 00:28:13,209
And maybe I don't. But my father fought
in World War II, and I grew up

465
00:28:13,210 --> 00:28:18,369
listening. to his stories, and feeling
his pride at having risked his life to

466
00:28:18,370 --> 00:28:20,430
protect the values of this country.

467
00:28:22,370 --> 00:28:28,110
And I grew up always believing we were
the good guys.

468
00:28:29,990 --> 00:28:33,410
But I'm not so sure we were the good
guys that night in Panama.

469
00:28:34,190 --> 00:28:38,350
And I don't believe I'm the only one in
this room with doubts.

470
00:28:38,910 --> 00:28:42,850
Lieutenant Braden turned to his
conscience that night.

471
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:50,819
For his sake, right now, I'm asking you
to turn to

472
00:28:50,820 --> 00:28:51,870
yours.

473
00:28:55,140 --> 00:28:56,190
Thank you.

474
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,000
The Geneva Convention does not apply
here.

475
00:29:10,510 --> 00:29:14,969
Panamanian soldiers were present in that
building, making it a legitimate

476
00:29:14,970 --> 00:29:16,390
military target.

477
00:29:16,950 --> 00:29:21,889
Of course, it was a tough call. But
Captain Jaworski made that call, and

478
00:29:21,890 --> 00:29:27,269
Lieutenant Braden willfully disregarded
it. While in combat with his men under

479
00:29:27,270 --> 00:29:31,710
enemy fire, Lieutenant Braden disobeyed
a direct order.

480
00:29:32,810 --> 00:29:38,229
A military, any military has to have
discipline where the chain of command is

481
00:29:38,230 --> 00:29:39,209
honored.

482
00:29:39,210 --> 00:29:44,349
The second it's not, as soon as junior
officers are entitled to call the shots

483
00:29:44,350 --> 00:29:49,229
and say, this order I'll obey, but this
order I won't, then we won't have much

484
00:29:49,230 --> 00:29:50,280
of an army, will we?

485
00:29:50,830 --> 00:29:55,190
We put 18 and 19 -year -olds in combat
with massive weapons.

486
00:29:55,930 --> 00:30:00,449
Now we can have them in the middle of a
battle, weighing international law and

487
00:30:00,450 --> 00:30:05,449
pondering their own interpretation of
the Geneva Convention, or they can just

488
00:30:05,450 --> 00:30:06,500
follow orders.

489
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,660
It's not a tough call, gentlemen.

490
00:30:10,820 --> 00:30:17,240
You just have to decide whether you want
to win wars or lose them.

491
00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:24,900
Let's just admit it was a big mistake.

492
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,659
Which has to be corrected now. Letting
him be senior partner for one more

493
00:30:28,660 --> 00:30:29,710
Now, hold on.

494
00:30:30,250 --> 00:30:34,249
He directed Abby to put an attachment on
Earl Williams' house. That's not the

495
00:30:34,250 --> 00:30:35,350
way we do business.

496
00:30:35,670 --> 00:30:39,429
Well, letting our bill for a half
million dollars go uncollected is not

497
00:30:39,430 --> 00:30:40,510
we do business either.

498
00:30:40,511 --> 00:30:43,509
Leland, I just got a call from Olympic
and Rourke, our landlords.

499
00:30:43,510 --> 00:30:46,589
It seemed Douglas stopped payment on the
rent check and he's trying to break our

500
00:30:46,590 --> 00:30:50,969
lease. What? He's Al Haig on the loose,
Leland. You have to stop him. Well, I

501
00:30:50,970 --> 00:30:52,229
can't believe he'd do that.

502
00:30:52,230 --> 00:30:54,400
Well, believe it. Guy thinks he's
immortal.

503
00:30:54,401 --> 00:30:57,549
I mean, he's been like that ever since
he started seeing Vanna White. You got

504
00:30:57,550 --> 00:30:58,600
do something.

505
00:30:58,650 --> 00:30:59,730
Yes. Very little.

506
00:30:59,731 --> 00:31:01,959
Valentine Insurance is on three.

507
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,010
He says it's urgent.

508
00:31:04,220 --> 00:31:05,270
Yes, Perry.

509
00:31:05,300 --> 00:31:07,770
What the hell's with Douglas Brackman,
Leland?

510
00:31:08,180 --> 00:31:09,230
What do you mean?

511
00:31:09,340 --> 00:31:12,830
I mean the guy's demanding we cover you
on the Rosalind Shays verdict.

512
00:31:12,831 --> 00:31:16,039
Leland, that judgment was for punitive
damages. We don't have to pay you a

513
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,820
nickel. I'll look into it, Perry.

514
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,210
Please do.

515
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,779
Also, you tell Brackman I ran his little
bluff by my lawyers and they said we

516
00:31:23,780 --> 00:31:25,959
don't need Rosalind Shays' help in any
of this.

517
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,090
So the fact that you're sleeping with
her now doesn't scare me.

518
00:31:31,370 --> 00:31:32,690
Set up a partner's meeting.

519
00:31:35,530 --> 00:31:38,790
I lived in the house practically a year.
I never heard anything.

520
00:31:39,050 --> 00:31:43,269
You never heard any moaning or the
sounds of a woman in pain? Come on, this

521
00:31:43,270 --> 00:31:47,089
whole thing is a ridiculous ploy to try
and get out of a deal they wish they

522
00:31:47,090 --> 00:31:49,980
hadn't made. Thank you, Mr. Gendler. I
have nothing further.

523
00:31:52,830 --> 00:31:56,680
When you bought the house, you knew
about Nancy Atkins' murder, didn't you?

524
00:31:57,070 --> 00:32:00,809
Didn't stop me from buying it. Why
didn't you tell my client and his broker

525
00:32:00,810 --> 00:32:02,550
about it? Because it didn't matter.

526
00:32:02,570 --> 00:32:03,620
Oh, no, sir.

527
00:32:04,150 --> 00:32:07,520
You withheld that information because
you feared it would matter.

528
00:32:07,770 --> 00:32:09,880
There is nothing haunted about the
house.

529
00:32:10,190 --> 00:32:13,920
When you lived in that house, why did
you sleep in the downstairs bedroom?

530
00:32:13,921 --> 00:32:16,229
It's a three -bedroom house. I had a
choice.

531
00:32:16,230 --> 00:32:20,150
Yes, but the master bedroom, the only
one with a private bath, is upstairs.

532
00:32:21,010 --> 00:32:22,570
Why didn't you choose that one?

533
00:32:23,180 --> 00:32:24,360
I hated the wallpaper.

534
00:32:24,780 --> 00:32:29,679
You were afraid of that room. You were
afraid because Nancy Atkins was stabbed

535
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,200
to death there. Give me a break.

536
00:32:31,420 --> 00:32:33,410
You were afraid she might cry out to
you.

537
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:34,570
I wasn't afraid.

538
00:32:34,900 --> 00:32:40,059
Well, maybe she did speak to you. Maybe
that's why after only a year, you had to

539
00:32:40,060 --> 00:32:42,740
get out. I wasn't afraid of anything.

540
00:32:43,140 --> 00:32:45,360
No, you just hated the wallpaper.

541
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,340
I have nothing further, Your Honor.

542
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,220
Closing arguments tomorrow, two o
'clock.

543
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:52,730
Your Honor.

544
00:32:52,990 --> 00:32:57,410
I'd like to do my closing tomorrow night
at the house in Nancy Atkins' bedroom.

545
00:32:57,830 --> 00:33:02,109
I beg your pardon? This case turns on
whether it's reasonable for my client to

546
00:33:02,110 --> 00:33:03,550
believe the house is haunted.

547
00:33:03,610 --> 00:33:07,869
The only way for the jury to properly
gauge that is to go see it at night. I

548
00:33:07,870 --> 00:33:11,290
object. Ms. Lamb, this is a very strange
request.

549
00:33:11,910 --> 00:33:16,290
But this also happens to be a very
strange case, and under these

550
00:33:16,570 --> 00:33:20,120
I think it would behoove us all to go
take a look. You've got to be kidding.

551
00:33:20,310 --> 00:33:21,360
I'm not kidding.

552
00:33:21,361 --> 00:33:24,959
Eight o 'clock tomorrow night, the jury
will meet here, and we'll all go over

553
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,010
there together.

554
00:33:31,140 --> 00:33:33,670
Members of the panel, have you reached a
verdict?

555
00:33:33,780 --> 00:33:34,830
Yes, sir, we have.

556
00:33:41,980 --> 00:33:47,660
Under Article 90, Article 99, and
Article 133,

557
00:33:47,740 --> 00:33:50,100
we find the defendant...

558
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,920
Second Lieutenant Robert Braden, guilty
of all charges.

559
00:34:02,020 --> 00:34:03,640
Anything on sentencing, Major?

560
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,339
Mr. President, the government will be
seeking the maximum allowable

561
00:34:08,340 --> 00:34:09,390
at hard labor.

562
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,490
Ms. Van Owen.

563
00:34:11,491 --> 00:34:15,638
Your Honor, before sentencing, I'd like
the panel to hear from Lieutenant

564
00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:16,689
Braden.

565
00:34:25,290 --> 00:34:28,300
I went into ROTC at school because it
helped pay for tuition.

566
00:34:29,570 --> 00:34:34,569
I knew that it meant that I had a debt
to my country, and maybe someday I'd

567
00:34:34,570 --> 00:34:38,210
have to go to war and die for my
country, and I was prepared to do that.

568
00:34:39,330 --> 00:34:43,948
I am still prepared to give my life for
my commanding officers or for the men

569
00:34:43,949 --> 00:34:44,999
who serve under me.

570
00:34:47,670 --> 00:34:52,630
I was ordered to blow up innocent
people, to take out sniper fire.

571
00:34:53,290 --> 00:34:55,690
I was ordered to destroy a civilian
building.

572
00:34:56,489 --> 00:34:57,690
I said no to that.

573
00:34:59,150 --> 00:35:01,870
And under the same circumstances, I'd
say no again.

574
00:35:03,770 --> 00:35:06,180
No matter what my government's trying to
prove.

575
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,090
What are you doing?

576
00:35:25,460 --> 00:35:26,540
Ernie fired me.

577
00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:31,520
Why? It's not important. I'm just not
working here anymore.

578
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,440
Would you like to work for me?

579
00:35:35,420 --> 00:35:38,320
Gee, Douglas, that's very nice of you.
I'll raise you.

580
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:40,740
$125 a week, effective now.

581
00:35:41,460 --> 00:35:44,960
That breaks the secretarial caps. You
wouldn't be a secretary.

582
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:47,950
I need an assistant to help me with
office management.

583
00:35:48,100 --> 00:35:51,470
I'm talking about a big promotion,
Roxanne. More money, more power.

584
00:35:52,430 --> 00:35:55,530
If you find me too impossible to work
for, you just quit.

585
00:35:56,210 --> 00:35:57,260
What's not to try?

586
00:36:23,319 --> 00:36:24,759
Thanks for agreeing to see me.

587
00:36:26,340 --> 00:36:27,480
What do you want to say?

588
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,360
That I'm sorry that what I did was
unforgivable.

589
00:36:31,361 --> 00:36:36,559
It only happened once. It's the only
time it's ever happened since we've been

590
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,399
married, and that doesn't make it any
less inexcusable, but this is not a

591
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,450
pattern, Corinne.

592
00:36:41,740 --> 00:36:42,790
I promise you.

593
00:36:42,791 --> 00:36:48,399
I also want to say that I can't picture
my life without you and Chloe in it, and

594
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:49,780
I'll do anything to fix this.

595
00:36:49,781 --> 00:36:54,739
I've hired a lawyer. The divorce papers
will be filed probably by the end of

596
00:36:54,740 --> 00:36:57,150
next week. Don't you think that's a
little rash?

597
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,170
Marrying you is rash.

598
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,959
Corinne, this was one stupid slip. It
doesn't mean that I want to... That's

599
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,010
you are.

600
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,140
That's what you are.

601
00:37:07,660 --> 00:37:09,780
I feared it going in. So did you.

602
00:37:09,781 --> 00:37:14,059
Now, maybe if I weren't a parent, it
would have been okay for me to take a

603
00:37:14,060 --> 00:37:15,019
chance on you.

604
00:37:15,020 --> 00:37:18,220
But to be so reckless with my little
girl's life...

605
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,350
I'm certainly not going to make that
mistake again.

606
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,230
Give me one more chance, Corinne,
please.

607
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,460
I'm following the advice of a former
lawyer of mine, a very good lawyer.

608
00:37:29,540 --> 00:37:31,000
Walk away from the problem.

609
00:37:31,740 --> 00:37:33,000
Get on with your life.

610
00:37:34,780 --> 00:37:35,840
My new attorney.

611
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,090
Call him.

612
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:42,660
From now on, you don't call me.

613
00:37:48,970 --> 00:37:53,270
Lieutenant Braden, this board has a
great deal of sympathy for you.

614
00:37:53,790 --> 00:37:58,189
Your service record indicates you're
both an outstanding officer and a fine

615
00:37:58,190 --> 00:37:59,240
young man.

616
00:37:59,330 --> 00:38:04,149
Furthermore, there are some serious
questions about the performance of our

617
00:38:04,150 --> 00:38:05,230
military in Panama.

618
00:38:05,710 --> 00:38:11,689
And the ratio of ten Panamanian
civilians dead to every American killed

619
00:38:11,690 --> 00:38:16,710
action makes it hard to believe that we
really did try our best.

620
00:38:16,711 --> 00:38:21,179
to minimize civilian casualties as
required by the Geneva Convention.

621
00:38:21,180 --> 00:38:26,019
And this business of policing up
civilian bodies and wrapping them in

622
00:38:26,020 --> 00:38:29,820
bags and dumping them in mass graves
without any notification of the

623
00:38:30,060 --> 00:38:36,979
if that's true, well, it's a disgrace,
pure and simple. And as

624
00:38:36,980 --> 00:38:42,380
officers and as soldiers, we should be
both shocked and embarrassed.

625
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,700
But of all the sins committed that
night, Lieutenant,

626
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,420
by far the most dangerous and far
-reaching was yours.

627
00:38:52,220 --> 00:38:55,860
You disobeyed a direct order in combat.

628
00:38:57,660 --> 00:39:03,660
For soldiers to disobey their lawful
superiors while under enemy fire,

629
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,760
well, there can be few greater threats
to our national security.

630
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:15,359
Therefore, Lieutenant Braden, it is the
decision of this board that you be

631
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,750
confined... at hard labor for a period
of ten years.

632
00:39:21,150 --> 00:39:26,229
Such sentence to be carried out at the
United States Disciplinary Barracks,

633
00:39:26,230 --> 00:39:27,310
Leavenworth, Kansas.

634
00:39:30,970 --> 00:39:35,449
You have no right to... If I fire a
secretary, she stays fired. I don't need

635
00:39:35,450 --> 00:39:38,290
here. All right, one thing at a time.

636
00:39:38,291 --> 00:39:41,549
First, what the hell are you doing
breaking our lease?

637
00:39:41,550 --> 00:39:44,909
I exploited a favored nation's clause
with Jonathan's help to break the

638
00:39:44,910 --> 00:39:48,979
contract. With the downtown glut of
office space, many buildings are

639
00:39:48,980 --> 00:39:53,879
free rent, some up to two years. I don't
want to move. We're not moving. But the

640
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,099
threat of moving alone was enough to
allow me to negotiate a new deal here. I

641
00:39:58,100 --> 00:40:01,840
cut our monthly payments by 6 % and got
the first six months rent -free. Now,

642
00:40:01,860 --> 00:40:06,919
that adds up to a savings of $108 ,000
immediately, plus another $137 ,000 over

643
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:07,959
the next 10 years.

644
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:08,639
I see.

645
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,290
But what were you doing with our
insurance carrier?

646
00:40:11,291 --> 00:40:12,779
Threatening them with a suit?

647
00:40:12,780 --> 00:40:15,999
telling them of my relationship with
Rosalind Shays. I merely pointed out

648
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,139
since Rosalind is now sympathetic to us,
they couldn't count on her help in

649
00:40:20,140 --> 00:40:24,139
defending against an action brought by
us. They're still denying coverage, but

650
00:40:24,140 --> 00:40:27,300
they've agreed to kick in $170 ,000 for
defense costs.

651
00:40:27,301 --> 00:40:28,299
You're kidding.

652
00:40:28,300 --> 00:40:31,879
No, I'm not. They knew we could run that
much up in litigation costs easy, and

653
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,050
there's a very real chance they could
lose.

654
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,700
As for rehiring Roxanne Arnold...

655
00:40:36,701 --> 00:40:40,539
I did that in part to prevent an
extremely viable lawsuit that she could

656
00:40:40,540 --> 00:40:41,519
against us.

657
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:42,900
For what? Why was she fired?

658
00:40:42,901 --> 00:40:44,299
Personality differences.

659
00:40:44,300 --> 00:40:48,340
Right. And Michael, securing our debt
with Earl Williams, did impress the

660
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,619
With that $300 ,000 security, along with
the projected savings in rent and the

661
00:40:52,620 --> 00:40:56,419
kick -in by the insurance company,
Brentwood Federal was moved to give us a

662
00:40:56,420 --> 00:41:01,859
brand new line of credit, which I've
used in part retroactively to pay out

663
00:41:01,860 --> 00:41:05,179
partnership bonuses that we thought we'd
have to forego this year.

664
00:41:05,180 --> 00:41:06,680
X for all of you.

665
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:11,160
$27 ,000?

666
00:41:12,420 --> 00:41:16,859
Wow. How did you do this? By showing the
bank that we were a half a million more

667
00:41:16,860 --> 00:41:19,570
solvent than they thought we were. They
made the loan?

668
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,040
This is fantastic, Douglas.

669
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,160
That's very good, Douglas.

670
00:41:24,380 --> 00:41:25,740
Yeah, that's very good.

671
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,320
Hello, senior partner.

672
00:41:52,279 --> 00:41:56,039
Okay, we've all had a look. Ms. Lamb,
you want to make your statement before

673
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,639
go? Yes, could everybody find some wall
space or maybe sit on the bed or

674
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:00,690
something?

675
00:42:00,780 --> 00:42:04,760
I don't really have a statement. I just
wanted us all to come here, take a look,

676
00:42:04,820 --> 00:42:05,900
see where it happened.

677
00:42:06,100 --> 00:42:08,640
Good God, she was sleeping right over
there.

678
00:42:08,940 --> 00:42:15,140
And it was somewhere, from somewhere, my
clients heard those awful sounds.

679
00:42:16,060 --> 00:42:21,739
The thing is, Nancy Atkins couldn't
scream the night she was murdered

680
00:42:21,740 --> 00:42:27,139
the killer plunged his knife straight
into her throat, severing her larynx and

681
00:42:27,140 --> 00:42:28,740
cutting her vocal cords.

682
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:30,880
But that wasn't the fatal wound.

683
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:36,540
He continued to stick his knife into her
arms, her legs.

684
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,800
Seventeen times she was stabbed.

685
00:42:40,260 --> 00:42:46,359
There was so much blood, it seeped
through these planks and dripped into

686
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:47,410
kitchen.

687
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,500
The coroner said she had to have
suffered, but she couldn't scream.

688
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:58,180
She'd try, but with her vocal cords cut,
she could barely make a sound.

689
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:07,119
Some people believe that to this day,
right here, Nancy Atkins still

690
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,900
tries to cry out for help.

691
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:11,570
Oh, my God!

692
00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:16,140
Let's get out of here!

693
00:43:17,020 --> 00:43:22,459
All right, we'll buy back the house.
We're not covering closing costs for the

694
00:43:22,460 --> 00:43:24,690
point. Hey, they could hit you with
punitive.

695
00:43:24,691 --> 00:43:26,199
You saw how scared they were.

696
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,239
Your guys won't be paying commission, C
.J. That'll more than cover all the

697
00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:31,590
incidentals. Come on, we're making them
whole.

698
00:43:31,620 --> 00:43:32,670
Let's finish this.

699
00:43:32,671 --> 00:43:34,359
Well, okay.

700
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,830
I'll draft the settlement. This is so
ridiculous.

701
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:51,079
It's false evidence, you know. It's as
good as lying to the court. We could get

702
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,419
disbarred. I never... I've never said
anything about how or why the lights

703
00:43:54,420 --> 00:43:56,300
out. Nobody even asked me.

704
00:43:56,301 --> 00:44:00,339
It wasn't a normal circuit breaker, for
God's sake. It was an old -fashioned

705
00:44:00,340 --> 00:44:03,820
fuse box. Here, I couldn't get the thing
back in. I cut my finger trying.

706
00:44:04,220 --> 00:44:06,630
Did you get them to settle? Full
purchase price.

707
00:44:07,100 --> 00:44:08,600
You were absolutely perfect.

708
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,990
Isn't this the fuse that controls that
light?

709
00:44:18,020 --> 00:44:19,070
Yeah.

710
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,230
Thank you for everything, Miss Van Owen.
I'm not giving up, Robert.

711
00:44:34,300 --> 00:44:35,980
The appeal will be filed tomorrow.

712
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:37,570
So don't you give up.

713
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:38,810
Yeah.

714
00:44:44,340 --> 00:44:45,390
Lieutenant. Major.

715
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:47,400
I'm sorry about the sentence.

716
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:52,819
I think what you did was wrong, but I
also think with 300 ,000 soldiers in the

717
00:44:52,820 --> 00:44:55,760
Persian Gulf, the panel had to make an
example of you.

718
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:57,900
Would you go on record with that?

719
00:44:58,220 --> 00:44:59,840
It's only an opinion, Counselor.

720
00:45:06,890 --> 00:45:07,940
Let's go, sir.

721
00:45:20,130 --> 00:45:21,270
We're proud of you, son.

722
00:45:24,201 --> 00:45:26,299
Okay.
