that a firm of our stature

why you took this animal's case.

90
00:05:39,506 --> 00:05:43,885
A, because the Legal
Defense Fund asked me to,

91
00:05:43,885 --> 00:05:48,139
B, because I have seen
the death penalty in action,

92
00:05:48,139 --> 00:05:50,433
and C, because I happen to feel

93
00:05:50,433 --> 00:05:52,686
that capital
punishment is barbaric.

her and her husband

back out walking the streets?

by the crime
he's accused of committing?

wouldn't you want him
put to death?

106

Executing a murderer

107
00:06:15,542 --> 00:06:17,377
may be viscerally satisfying,

108

to do and as I'm sure

we won't settle
this issue here and now,

I hope I can enlist your wisdom
in search of a solution.

128

Leland, Abby is
very fragile right now.

129

Oh, I'm mindful
of her situation.

130
00:07:09,596 --> 00:07:12,599
Nevertheless, what if
the dog bites someone?

131
00:07:12,599 --> 00:07:15,226
- We could be liable.
- You want me to talk to her?

132
00:07:15,226 --> 00:07:17,228
You're close to her.

133
00:07:17,228 --> 00:07:20,607
I'm sure you'll handle it
far more tactfully than I could.

134
00:07:22,108 --> 00:07:24,569
- And you don't have the guts.
- There's that, mm-hmm.

135
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:30,784
Judge 1: Counselor, the
factual record shows

136
00:07:30,784 --> 00:07:33,620
the police found the gun
in the defendant's car,

137
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:35,664
placed him under
arrest at that time,

138
00:07:35,664 --> 00:07:37,999
advised him of his
constitutional rights,

139
00:07:37,999 --> 00:07:40,627
and after waiving his rights,
he confessed to the murders.

140
00:07:40,627 --> 00:07:42,212
Assuming all of that
to be true, Your Honor,

141
00:07:42,212 --> 00:07:44,297
what I am arguing
as a matter of law

142
00:07:44,297 --> 00:07:46,091
is that the police
had no right to stop

143
00:07:46,091 --> 00:07:48,218
and detain Mr. Petrovek
in the first place.

144
00:07:48,218 --> 00:07:50,637
Accordingly, any
search or confession

145
00:07:50,637 --> 00:07:52,847
incident to that detention
should not be admissible.

146
00:07:52,847 --> 00:07:54,849
The factual record shows
the police received

147
00:07:54,849 --> 00:07:56,810
a radio call
of a murder suspect.

148
00:07:56,810 --> 00:07:58,812
It matched the
description of the defendant

149
00:07:58,812 --> 00:08:00,480
and the defendant's vehicle.

150
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,900
Yes, but if you examine
the police report carefully,

151
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:06,820
something which
Mr. Petrovek's defense counsel

152
00:08:06,820 --> 00:08:09,280
unfortunately neglected
to do during trial,

153
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,449
you will notice that
the radio transmission

154
00:08:11,449 --> 00:08:14,911
wasn't recorded until 11:32 a.m.

155
00:08:14,911 --> 00:08:18,123
My client was stopped at 11:20.

156
00:08:18,123 --> 00:08:19,874
Mr. Adler?

157
00:08:19,874 --> 00:08:22,669
The officer simply
made an error on the time.

158
00:08:22,669 --> 00:08:26,840
All three arresting officers
listed 11:20 on their reports.

159
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,925
Adler: I'm sure there's some
explanation, Your Honor.

160
00:08:28,925 --> 00:08:30,719
Michael: Of course there
is, and we all know it.

161
00:08:30,719 --> 00:08:32,470
Mr. Petrovek was snagged in

162
00:08:32,470 --> 00:08:35,056
one of the police
department's infamous dragnets.

163
00:08:35,056 --> 00:08:36,683
Totally unfounded.

164
00:08:36,683 --> 00:08:38,601
Fourteen drug busts
on this street

165
00:08:38,601 --> 00:08:40,353
have been overturned on appeal.

166
00:08:40,353 --> 00:08:42,814
The police stopped my
client looking for drugs,

167
00:08:42,814 --> 00:08:45,984
found a weapon in his car,
and coerced a confession.

168
00:08:45,984 --> 00:08:49,738
Mr. Adler, if that call
was not made until 11:32...

169
00:08:49,738 --> 00:08:53,116
Your Honor, this man raped
and tortured a pregnant woman

170
00:08:53,116 --> 00:08:55,577
while he forced her
husband to watch.

171
00:08:55,577 --> 00:08:57,287
Then he put a gun in
her mouth and blew...

172
00:08:57,287 --> 00:08:58,705
Mr. Adler.

173
00:08:58,705 --> 00:09:00,331
her head off and
then her husband's.

174
00:09:00,331 --> 00:09:02,584
All the while, a
little six-year-old boy

175
00:09:02,584 --> 00:09:05,879
crouched in a closet,
trembling, hiding, listening

176
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:07,964
to the anguished screams
of his mother and father.

177
00:09:07,964 --> 00:09:10,300
How is this even
remotely relevant

178
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:12,177
to the constitutional
permissibility

179
00:09:12,177 --> 00:09:14,846
of stopping the
defendant's vehicle?

180
00:09:14,846 --> 00:09:16,931
The defendant is and was

181
00:09:16,931 --> 00:09:19,559
a deranged and
suspicious-looking individual,

182
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,269
Your Honor, observed in an area

183
00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:23,772
known to be frequented
by violent criminals.

184
00:09:23,772 --> 00:09:25,648
You're telling
this court, in effect,

185
00:09:25,648 --> 00:09:28,985
that the defendant was subjected
to a substantial invasion

186
00:09:28,985 --> 00:09:32,572
of his constitutional rights
because he didn't look nice?

187
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:34,908
These veteran officers
have an instinct, Your Honor.

188
00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:37,410
They reasonably
suspected that Mr. Petrovek--

189
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:38,787
Come on, Counselor.

190
00:09:38,787 --> 00:09:40,413
Without that radio call,

191
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:42,540
there was no probable
cause to stop him.

192
00:09:42,540 --> 00:09:44,209
That means the gun
and the confession

193
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:48,963
are fruits of the poisonous
tree and therefore inadmissible.

194
00:09:48,963 --> 00:09:51,341
Now, it's our custom to take
these matters under advisement,

195
00:09:51,341 --> 00:09:53,343
and we shall do
so accordingly here.

196
00:09:53,343 --> 00:09:55,929
But start assembling
your evidence, Mr. Adler,

197
00:09:55,929 --> 00:09:58,181
because unless the
Constitution is repealed

198
00:09:58,181 --> 00:10:00,558
before we can
adjourn to chambers,

199
00:10:00,558 --> 00:10:03,061
this case is headed
for a new trial.

200
00:10:03,061 --> 00:10:04,104
That's all.

201
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:11,319
Now we go back to the records.

202
00:10:13,446 --> 00:10:14,781
[door closes]

203
00:10:14,781 --> 00:10:16,783
The People vs. Appleton

204
00:10:16,783 --> 00:10:18,618
ready to proceed for
sentencing hearing?

205
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:20,870
As Mr. Appleton has
been briefly hospitalized,

206
00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:23,206
Your Honor, I would ask for
a continuance until Thursday.

207
00:10:23,206 --> 00:10:25,667
Judge 2: May I enquire as to the
nature of his incapacity?

208
00:10:25,667 --> 00:10:27,585
Mark: He has a bronchial
infection, Your Honor.

209
00:10:27,585 --> 00:10:29,546
He's due to be
released later today.

210
00:10:29,546 --> 00:10:30,922
Any objection, Ms. Van Owen?

211
00:10:30,922 --> 00:10:32,507
No objection, Your Honor.

212
00:10:32,507 --> 00:10:34,050
Judge 2:
This matter is continued

213
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:37,971
to Thursday, 3 p.m. in this
courtroom. Next matter.

214
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:39,597
Attorney 2: Mr. Dallas would
request a continuance,

215
00:10:39,597 --> 00:10:40,640
Your Honor, due to the un...

216
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,184
- Free for a beer?
- Sure.

217
00:10:43,184 --> 00:10:44,936
Attorney: presently in
Key West, Florida.

218
00:10:45,937 --> 00:10:48,690
[indistinct chatter]

219
00:10:48,690 --> 00:10:50,692
Your table's right there.

220
00:10:51,776 --> 00:10:53,653
Hi, Mom.

221
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,864
- How are you?
- You're late.

222
00:10:55,864 --> 00:10:58,074
- You look great.
- Another eighth of an inch.

223
00:10:58,074 --> 00:10:59,784
In four years, you'll be
as bald as your father

224
00:10:59,784 --> 00:11:01,828
before the transplant.

225
00:11:02,620 --> 00:11:04,289
Great tan.

226
00:11:04,289 --> 00:11:06,666
Looks like desert life
must be agreeing with you.

227
00:11:06,666 --> 00:11:08,793
Oh, yeah, major excitement

228
00:11:08,793 --> 00:11:10,628
lying in the sun
every day like a lizard.

229
00:11:10,628 --> 00:11:13,214
Just another one of
your father's brainstorms.

230
00:11:13,214 --> 00:11:15,466
- How is Dad?
- We're getting a divorce.

231
00:11:15,466 --> 00:11:18,052
- What? What happened?
- It's none of your business.

232
00:11:18,052 --> 00:11:20,763
There are certain things you
do not discuss with your child.

233
00:11:22,265 --> 00:11:26,519
Now... here are the bank
accounts,

234
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:28,646
a list of all of our
stocks and bonds,

235
00:11:28,646 --> 00:11:30,690
the last 10 years' tax returns.

236
00:11:34,527 --> 00:11:36,863
Ballpark figure,
how much alimony

237
00:11:36,863 --> 00:11:39,324
do you think we can
squeeze out of him?

238
00:11:39,324 --> 00:11:40,241
Mom, stop.

239
00:11:42,285 --> 00:11:43,703
I can't represent you
in a divorce

240
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:45,330
action against my own father.

241
00:11:45,330 --> 00:11:47,373
Well, I don't see why not,
unless you love him

242
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:49,167
more than you do me,
which is funny

243
00:11:49,167 --> 00:11:51,461
considering,
had it been left up to him,

244
00:11:51,461 --> 00:11:53,046
you'd have never
gone to law school.

245
00:11:53,046 --> 00:11:55,673
"Oh, the boy has no
head on his shoulders."

246
00:11:55,673 --> 00:11:58,885
Now, that is what this
so-called father said

247
00:11:58,885 --> 00:12:01,346
until the mother
stood up for the son.

248
00:12:01,346 --> 00:12:04,057
Mom, please, I don't want
to get in the middle here.

249
00:12:04,057 --> 00:12:05,808
After 40 years of
hell on this Earth,

250
00:12:05,808 --> 00:12:07,685
I'm entitled to a
little happiness.

251
00:12:07,685 --> 00:12:10,355
I've been told that I'm still
a very attractive woman,

252
00:12:10,355 --> 00:12:12,732
and he doesn't function anymore.

253
00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:14,525
I thought he still
goes into the office.

254
00:12:14,525 --> 00:12:17,570
- As a man in the bedroom.
- Mom.

255
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:21,741
Mrs. Becker: Always had his
tootsies and his whores.

256
00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:23,326
The only thing that would
have made me happier

257
00:12:23,326 --> 00:12:26,496
is if his business
fell off altogether.

258
00:12:26,496 --> 00:12:27,872
Mom, please.

259
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:33,294
What's this?

260
00:12:33,294 --> 00:12:36,714
Well, you were late,
so I ordered for you.

261
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,926
I don't eat red meat anymore.

262
00:12:39,926 --> 00:12:42,136
[chuckles] Well, who can keep up
with you and your fads?

263
00:12:42,136 --> 00:12:44,722
All this fussiness, you're
just like your father.

264
00:12:44,722 --> 00:12:47,475
Okay. It's okay. I'll eat it.

265
00:12:47,475 --> 00:12:51,104
I am going through the most
traumatic period of my life,

266
00:12:51,104 --> 00:12:54,107
and there is no one
there, no one to help me.

267
00:12:54,107 --> 00:12:56,192
Mom, I'll take-- I'll take a
look into it, okay?

268
00:12:56,192 --> 00:12:58,444
- I'll see what I can do.
- I'll find someone else.

269
00:12:58,444 --> 00:13:00,905
Oh, I said that I would do it.

270
00:13:05,368 --> 00:13:07,036
[spits]

271
00:13:07,036 --> 00:13:10,581
- Maitre d'. Maitre d'.
- Yes, ma'am.

272
00:13:10,581 --> 00:13:15,086
I specifically asked for my
steak charred, medium rare.

273
00:13:17,505 --> 00:13:19,340
It's raw, cold as ice.

274
00:13:19,340 --> 00:13:21,509
Maitre d': I'm very sorry.

275
00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:23,136
Mrs. Becker: Thank you.

276
00:13:23,136 --> 00:13:24,971
Oh, this is my
son Arnold Becker.

277
00:13:24,971 --> 00:13:28,308
He's one of the finest
divorce lawyers in the city.

278
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:29,684
Are you married?

279
00:13:29,684 --> 00:13:31,102
Very happily.

280
00:13:31,102 --> 00:13:32,562
Well, you never know.

281
00:13:32,562 --> 00:13:34,522
You may need a
good lawyer one day.

282
00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:38,026
Arnold, give the man your card.

283
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:45,450
[indistinct chatter]

284
00:13:45,450 --> 00:13:47,618
Grace: I'm not blind, Mark.

285
00:13:47,618 --> 00:13:50,121
I've read the
editorials in the papers.

286
00:13:50,121 --> 00:13:53,416
I've received copies of the
jurors' letters to Judge Ruben,

287
00:13:53,416 --> 00:13:56,002
and I know he's
looking for a way out.

288
00:13:56,002 --> 00:13:57,336
What about you?

289
00:14:00,798 --> 00:14:03,634
I continue to believe deeply

290
00:14:03,634 --> 00:14:05,011
we cannot allow individuals

291
00:14:05,011 --> 00:14:06,846
the right to determine for
themselves--

292
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:10,016
Thank you, Grace. I've already
heard your closing arguments.

293
00:14:10,016 --> 00:14:13,019
I'm sure you didn't invite me
here to have an instant replay.

294
00:14:13,019 --> 00:14:14,437
I invited you here to tell you

295
00:14:14,437 --> 00:14:17,440
that my heart goes
out to Chris Appleton.

296
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,067
That's very humane of you.

297
00:14:19,067 --> 00:14:21,277
I'm not looking
for a crucifixion here.

298
00:14:21,277 --> 00:14:23,738
- I was arguing a principle.
- Right. Right.

299
00:14:23,738 --> 00:14:25,948
And now you just
don't have the courage

300
00:14:25,948 --> 00:14:29,660
to be responsible for it.
You want it both ways, Grace.

301
00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:31,746
You're rattling your saber in
court, and then you try

302
00:14:31,746 --> 00:14:34,332
to squirm out of your guilt
by offering a backdoor deal.

303
00:14:34,332 --> 00:14:36,834
I-- I just find that
reprehensible.

304
00:14:36,834 --> 00:14:39,170
What's reprehensible here
is that you didn't do your job.

305
00:14:39,170 --> 00:14:41,005
Please, give me a break.

306
00:14:44,467 --> 00:14:47,053
Have you ever heard
of AIDS stress syndrome?

307
00:14:48,429 --> 00:14:50,139
What about it?

308
00:14:50,139 --> 00:14:52,683
It's a theory, advanced
by Dr. Freedman,

309
00:14:52,683 --> 00:14:54,852
an expert on delayed stress.

310
00:14:54,852 --> 00:14:57,605
He's willing to testify that
under the constant stress

311
00:14:57,605 --> 00:15:00,483
of caring for his dying lover,
Chris Appleton was incapable

312
00:15:00,483 --> 00:15:03,277
of forming a specific intent
to commit murder.

313
00:15:03,277 --> 00:15:05,571
You should have
raised it at the trial.

314
00:15:05,571 --> 00:15:08,157
It might have supported a
diminished capacity defense.

315
00:15:08,157 --> 00:15:09,992
Diminished capacity
only makes sense

316
00:15:09,992 --> 00:15:12,578
if you're willing to settle for
a conviction on reduced charges.

317
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:14,330
I didn't want to let
the jury off that easily,

318
00:15:14,330 --> 00:15:15,915
especially since given
Appleton's situation,

319
00:15:15,915 --> 00:15:17,959
it still would have
been a life sentence.

320
00:15:17,959 --> 00:15:19,836
No, I firmly believe that
under the circumstances,

321
00:15:19,836 --> 00:15:21,129
I made the right choice.

322
00:15:21,129 --> 00:15:22,964
You made the same
choice as I made,

323
00:15:22,964 --> 00:15:26,134
to defend a principle,
except you defended yours

324
00:15:26,134 --> 00:15:28,052
at the expense of your
client's best interest.

325
00:15:28,052 --> 00:15:30,513
- And you didn't?
- He wasn't my client.

326
00:15:30,513 --> 00:15:32,598
Why do I need to sit
here and listen to this?

327
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:34,016
Wait, please.

328
00:15:37,228 --> 00:15:39,188
Take this stuff. Read it.

329
00:15:39,188 --> 00:15:41,065
It might be grounds
for a new trial,

330
00:15:41,065 --> 00:15:43,067
and a new trial
could buy you a year.

331
00:15:49,157 --> 00:15:53,119
[sighs] It's-- it's one doctor's
completely untested theory.

332
00:15:53,119 --> 00:15:54,745
Besides, it wouldn't
do any good.

333
00:15:54,745 --> 00:15:56,998
I didn't raise it at
the trial. It's waived.

334
00:15:57,915 --> 00:15:59,500
How do you know until you try?

335

And if that doesn't work,

338
00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:07,717
there's one other thing you
could try.

339
00:16:07,717 --> 00:16:09,093
Yeah, what's that?

340
00:16:10,344 --> 00:16:12,096
I think you know.

341
00:16:17,727 --> 00:16:19,478
I'll take it under advisement.

342
00:16:28,613 --> 00:16:31,449
Regarding Harold Osborne
as a witness in your trial,

343
00:16:31,449 --> 00:16:32,950
I want you to
take a look at this.

344
00:16:32,950 --> 00:16:33,951
What is it?

345
00:16:33,951 --> 00:16:35,036
Oh, just take a minute to go

346
00:16:35,036 --> 00:16:36,162
through it, then we'll discuss

347
00:16:36,162 --> 00:16:37,788
it later.

Arnie. Arnie, wait.

352
00:16:52,929 --> 00:16:54,931
There's someone in your office.

353
00:16:54,931 --> 00:16:56,641
Someone?

354
00:16:56,641 --> 00:16:57,725
Your father.

00:16:57,725 --> 00:16:59,143
Oh, God.

00:17:05,441 --> 00:17:07,193
Hi, Dad.

00:17:07,193 --> 00:17:08,986
How are you?

358
00:17:08,986 --> 00:17:11,155
So-so, but you, [chuckles]

359
00:17:11,155 --> 00:17:12,823
it's quite
a palace you got here.

360
00:17:12,823 --> 00:17:14,909
I didn't realize you've
never been here before.

361
00:17:14,909 --> 00:17:16,202
You never invited me.

362
00:17:16,202 --> 00:17:17,245
It's too bad
it took something like

363
00:17:17,245 --> 00:17:18,704
this to get me here.

364
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:19,622
She told me

365
00:17:19,622 --> 00:17:21,082
she was having lunch with you.

366
00:17:21,082 --> 00:17:22,208
Dad, this is crazy.

367
00:17:22,208 --> 00:17:23,251
After all these years, isn't

368
00:17:23,251 --> 00:17:24,961
there something you can do?

369
00:17:24,961 --> 00:17:26,587
She's your mother. You tell me.

370
00:17:26,587 --> 00:17:28,673
Remember the time we
went to Tahoe together?

371
00:17:28,673 --> 00:17:31,592
She's still talking
about it 20 years later.

372
00:17:31,592 --> 00:17:33,427
She says I took you to whores.

373
00:17:33,427 --> 00:17:36,847
I can go out to buy a newspaper,
she says I'm going with whores.

374
00:17:36,847 --> 00:17:41,477
Dad, please, I don't want
to get in the middle here.

375
00:17:41,477 --> 00:17:43,437
I told her that's what
you were gonna say.

376
00:17:43,437 --> 00:17:45,648
I knew you couldn't go
against your own father

That is what you told her.

00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:52,071
I tried to tell her.

380
00:17:52,822 --> 00:17:54,407
Tried means you didn't.

381
00:17:54,407 --> 00:17:56,742
Dad, come on.
You know what she's like.

every Little League game?

about the home games.

I drove to Torrance,

to West Covina, for God's sakes.

And who bought you
your first car? Huh? Huh?

387
00:18:11,632 --> 00:18:14,635
Not to mention your first
pack of latex protection.

388
00:18:14,635 --> 00:18:17,221
You have to understand
this has nothing to do

389
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:18,764
with the way I feel about you.

390
00:18:20,683 --> 00:18:22,643
You were smart
never to have children.

391
00:18:22,643 --> 00:18:24,604
You can't believe the pain.

392
00:18:24,604 --> 00:18:27,690
It's like having your heart
sliced up like a pimento loaf.

Dad, please, I never
meant to hurt you.

394
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:32,278
Forget it.

395
00:18:32,278 --> 00:18:34,530
It's probably a
blessing in disguise.

00:18:34,530 --> 00:18:35,906
What do you mean?

397
00:18:35,906 --> 00:18:38,117
- I wasn't gonna tell you.
- What?

398
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:40,453
We'll know more after surgery.

399
00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:43,873
- Surgery?
- Exploratory in the prostate.

Oh, don't.

403
00:18:49,712 --> 00:18:51,630
The truth is I was
actually worried

404
00:18:51,630 --> 00:18:52,882
up to this minute about dying.

405

can't take her case.

she's gonna recover?

about this witness.

she's got more tubes

than Goodyear's got tires.

to talk about while you eat.

00:20:48,831 --> 00:20:51,250
that this witness
is going to recover?

450
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:53,085
Not in this lifetime.

451
00:20:53,085 --> 00:20:56,380
Well, I appreciate
this on such short notice.

and I'll have something
for you by this afternoon.

467
00:21:30,748 --> 00:21:34,460
Uh, what are you gonna
do about the dog?

468
00:21:34,460 --> 00:21:38,005
Well, I have signs up at
the vet's and the supermarket.

469
00:21:38,005 --> 00:21:40,800
It's hard to find someone
who wants a big dog.

470
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,094
If you don't find a
place for it by tonight, uh,

471
00:21:44,094 --> 00:21:46,889
you should probably leave
it at home from now on.

00:21:48,641 --> 00:21:51,685
[sighs] Abby, unless he's
got a law degree,

474
00:21:51,685 --> 00:21:54,146
you can't keep
bringing the dog to work.

475
00:21:54,146 --> 00:21:56,315
Well, what do you want
me to do, destroy him?

476
00:21:56,315 --> 00:21:58,275
We're so obsessed
with this crummy job

477
00:21:58,275 --> 00:22:00,903
and this crummy office that
we've lost sight of our values.

478
00:22:00,903 --> 00:22:02,780
And if I try to do
the humane thing,

479
00:22:02,780 --> 00:22:04,698
then I don't think I
should be persecuted for it.

480
00:22:04,698 --> 00:22:07,326
Abby, no one is
trying to persecute you.

481
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:09,078
Abby: Well, I'm under a lot
of pressure these days,

482
00:22:09,078 --> 00:22:10,788
and I would appreciate
having a little support

483
00:22:10,788 --> 00:22:12,164
and understanding around here.

484
00:22:12,164 --> 00:22:13,541
Ann: You have it.

485
00:22:13,541 --> 00:22:15,167
All I'm saying

486
00:22:15,167 --> 00:22:17,294
is that we should try to
find a home for the dog

487
00:22:17,294 --> 00:22:19,922
in the next few days, okay?

488
00:22:19,922 --> 00:22:20,881
Okay.

489
00:22:25,302 --> 00:22:27,721
[instrumental music]

490
00:22:34,061 --> 00:22:36,522
[indistinct chatter]

491
00:22:39,733 --> 00:22:42,236
Nice little trick, Leland.

492
00:22:42,236 --> 00:22:44,488
All the dirt on Harold Osborne,
but since I've learned it

493
00:22:44,488 --> 00:22:45,948
from office files,
it's privileged

494
00:22:45,948 --> 00:22:47,950
information
and now I can't use it.

495
00:22:47,950 --> 00:22:50,578
You want to sit down,
talk about it?

496
00:22:50,578 --> 00:22:52,037
Victor:
It's a little late for that.

497
00:22:52,037 --> 00:22:54,164
I could have killed his
credibility with this stuff,

498
00:22:54,164 --> 00:22:56,375
but now it's unethical for
me to take advantage of it.

499
00:22:56,375 --> 00:22:57,710
I have to withdraw
from the case.

500
00:22:57,710 --> 00:22:59,753
Ms. White can
find another lawyer.

501
00:22:59,753 --> 00:23:02,339
That's not the point,
Leland. You suckered me.

502
00:23:02,339 --> 00:23:07,136
Victor Sifuentes does whatever
he can to protect his client.

503
00:23:07,136 --> 00:23:08,512
So do I.

504
00:23:08,512 --> 00:23:10,806
No good, a client of mine

505
00:23:10,806 --> 00:23:12,975
is supposed to be
a client of this firm's,

506
00:23:12,975 --> 00:23:15,769
and my client just got screwed
over by the senior partner.

507
00:23:15,769 --> 00:23:20,024
Victor, PetramCo is our biggest
client. We can't run the risk.

508
00:23:20,024 --> 00:23:22,151
You couldn't have come to
me and discussed it openly?

509
00:23:22,151 --> 00:23:24,403
Well, it sounded to me like
you'd already made up your mind.

510
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:26,864
If it'd been Mike Kuzak, you
would called the surrogate son

511
00:23:26,864 --> 00:23:28,824
in here and let him
make the decision.

512
00:23:28,824 --> 00:23:30,576
Me, you blindside.

513
00:23:30,576 --> 00:23:32,453
Now you listen to me.

514
00:23:32,453 --> 00:23:34,455
I am the senior partner here,

515
00:23:34,455 --> 00:23:36,457
and one of my
burdens is to determine

516
00:23:36,457 --> 00:23:38,626
the best interests of this firm.

517
00:23:38,626 --> 00:23:40,252
You're an associate,

518
00:23:40,252 --> 00:23:41,795
and one of your burdens

519
00:23:41,795 --> 00:23:44,131
is to live with the decisions
of the senior partner.

520
00:23:45,966 --> 00:23:47,593
Well, I won't
live with it, Leland.

521
00:23:49,178 --> 00:23:51,055
[scoffs] You know, Andrew
Taylor was right.

522
00:23:51,055 --> 00:23:53,557
There are different shades
of treatment around here.

523
00:23:55,517 --> 00:23:56,727
I quit.

524
00:24:03,859 --> 00:24:06,612
[instrumental music]

525
00:24:14,453 --> 00:24:16,747
I'm gonna ask for a
continuance of the new trial.

526
00:24:16,747 --> 00:24:19,833
I'd really appreciate your
cooperation in waiving time.

527
00:24:19,833 --> 00:24:21,835
My caseload's pretty
jammed up right now.

528
00:24:21,835 --> 00:24:25,172
But you lost the gun.
You lost the confession.

529
00:24:25,172 --> 00:24:26,799
You got a witness
who in all likelihood

530
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:28,384
won't even be able to testify.

531
00:24:28,384 --> 00:24:30,010
You don't have a case.

532
00:24:30,010 --> 00:24:32,054
I'm gonna have to
move for dismissal.

533
00:24:32,054 --> 00:24:34,431
How the hell can you want
this guy back out on the street?

534
00:24:35,849 --> 00:24:37,601
When I took this case,
I wasn't looking

535
00:24:37,601 --> 00:24:39,103
to get him
back out on the street.

536
00:24:39,103 --> 00:24:42,314
I was looking to get
him off death row.

537
00:24:42,314 --> 00:24:44,650
Like it or not,
now that I'm into it,

538
00:24:44,650 --> 00:24:47,069
I have the legal and
ethical responsibility

539
00:24:47,069 --> 00:24:48,487
to make you prove your case.

540
00:24:48,487 --> 00:24:50,239
You know damn well he's guilty.

541
00:24:50,239 --> 00:24:52,533
The law says
you have to prove it.

542
00:24:52,533 --> 00:24:55,828
If you can't, don't blame me.

543
00:24:55,828 --> 00:24:58,872
Well, I can get a continuance
without your assent.

544
00:24:58,872 --> 00:25:01,208
You need time to build a
whole new case, Counselor.

545
00:25:01,208 --> 00:25:02,960
You tell the judge that,

546
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,462
he just might dismiss
this thing
<i>sua sponte.</i>

547
00:25:05,462 --> 00:25:07,131
You willing to run that risk?

548
00:25:07,131 --> 00:25:09,925
Alright, I'll agree to bail,
but this guy is a time bomb.

549
00:25:09,925 --> 00:25:11,844
If he explodes, the
blood's on your hands.

550
00:25:16,473 --> 00:25:19,309
Come on. Come on.
Come on. Come on.

551
00:25:19,309 --> 00:25:20,936
Come on.

552
00:25:20,936 --> 00:25:24,690
Now, I have to go to a
meeting for about an hour.

553
00:25:24,690 --> 00:25:27,151
I want you to be a good
boy while I'm gone, okay?

554
00:25:27,151 --> 00:25:31,530
I want you to be a real
good boy while I'm gone.

555
00:25:32,698 --> 00:25:33,907
No more peeing.

556
00:25:35,242 --> 00:25:36,535
Here's your paper.

557
00:25:37,536 --> 00:25:39,496
Okay? Okay.

558
00:25:39,496 --> 00:25:40,914
That's a good boy, huh?

559
00:25:40,914 --> 00:25:43,083
That's a good boy.

560
00:25:43,083 --> 00:25:45,127
Okay. Here's your chew toy.

561
00:25:45,127 --> 00:25:46,545
Good boy.

562
00:25:46,545 --> 00:25:47,963
[barks]

563
00:25:47,963 --> 00:25:48,672
Oh.

[barking]

565
00:25:58,056 --> 00:26:01,852
Douglas: Pursuant to our
telephone conversation 10/5,

566
00:26:01,852 --> 00:26:03,896
I am confirming the MSC

567
00:26:03,896 --> 00:26:08,609
we'll go in Department
Six on 12/17 unless we trail,

568
00:26:08,609 --> 00:26:10,944
in which case
the IME will supplant

569
00:26:10,944 --> 00:26:13,572
said MSC preparatory to--

570

[barking]

571
00:26:16,325 --> 00:26:19,578
Will somebody do something
about that miserable dog?

572
00:26:22,206 --> 00:26:23,624
Hello?

573
00:26:23,624 --> 00:26:25,334

Aha.

[barks]

579
00:26:38,514 --> 00:26:42,184
Bad dog. Extremely bad dog.

Roxanne: Arnie?
- Huh?

583
00:26:55,614 --> 00:26:57,366
Roxanne: Lynette Pierce is here.

584
00:26:57,366 --> 00:26:59,618
Should I tell her
you're in a meeting?

585
00:26:59,618 --> 00:27:01,537
Ms. Pierce, I told you
to wait in reception.

586
00:27:01,537 --> 00:27:03,664
Oh. [clears throat]

587
00:27:03,664 --> 00:27:05,165
That's okay, Roxanne. Thank you.

588
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,585
I'm sorry to
bother you, Arnie.

589
00:27:08,585 --> 00:27:11,713
I was, uh, I was-- I was
meaning to call you anyway.

590
00:27:11,713 --> 00:27:13,340
Lynette: I just spoke to the DA.

591
00:27:13,340 --> 00:27:14,925
He'll agree to probation

592
00:27:14,925 --> 00:27:16,593
as soon as I've got
letters from the wives

593
00:27:16,593 --> 00:27:18,762
that Foster's agreed
to make restitution.

594
00:27:18,762 --> 00:27:20,639
Well, I'll talk to my
clients. No problem.

595
00:27:20,639 --> 00:27:22,933
You're a prince. Thanks.

596
00:27:22,933 --> 00:27:27,604
Lynette, um, about last night...

597
00:27:27,604 --> 00:27:30,649
Arnie, please, there's
nothing more to say.

598
00:27:30,649 --> 00:27:32,401
You're making
too much out of it.

599
00:27:32,401 --> 00:27:35,404
- These things happen to men.
- Not to me.

600
00:27:35,404 --> 00:27:37,447
Lynette: You've been
under a lot of stress.

601
00:27:37,447 --> 00:27:40,033
Your mother, your father,
all this Oedipal drama stuff

602
00:27:40,033 --> 00:27:41,702
could drive anyone crazy.

603
00:27:41,702 --> 00:27:43,412
I understand completely.

604
00:27:43,412 --> 00:27:45,414
So you're not gonna
hold it against me?

605
00:27:45,414 --> 00:27:47,040
Of course not.

606
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,877
So how about Saturday,
dinner catered at my place?

607
00:27:49,877 --> 00:27:53,005
Actually, I was hoping to
get Foster out by the weekend,

608
00:27:53,005 --> 00:27:55,215
and once Foster's out, then...

609
00:27:55,215 --> 00:27:58,510
Arnie, you're a very sweet boy,

610
00:27:58,510 --> 00:28:00,012
and I'm sure that
you're very adequate

611
00:28:00,012 --> 00:28:01,847
when you're not so distracted.

612
00:28:01,847 --> 00:28:05,267
But Foster... I guess
I'm kind of spoiled.

613
00:28:05,267 --> 00:28:08,228
- If you know what I mean.
- Uh-huh.

614
00:28:08,228 --> 00:28:10,230
So once you've had a chance to
review with the ladies,

615
00:28:10,230 --> 00:28:12,858
give me a call and I'll take you
out for a nice lunch.

616
00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:15,736
Bye.

617
00:28:19,406 --> 00:28:21,825
[thumping]

618
00:28:37,299 --> 00:28:40,052
Where's my prescription?
Why didn't my prescription come?

619
00:28:40,052 --> 00:28:42,012
Mark Pressman's on vacation.

620
00:28:42,012 --> 00:28:44,348
- I told you.
- I can't take this anymore.

621
00:28:44,348 --> 00:28:45,724
When it's dark, I
won't be able to sleep.

622
00:28:45,724 --> 00:28:47,726
I just lie there
all night, shaking.

623
00:28:47,726 --> 00:28:49,895
So you'll come home with me.

624
00:28:50,938 --> 00:28:53,357
No, Rox, I can't.

625
00:28:53,357 --> 00:28:56,985
When you were a little boy
and you stayed home sick,

626
00:28:56,985 --> 00:28:58,737
did you ever have tomato soup

627
00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:01,573
with crackers all
crumpled up on top?

628
00:29:01,573 --> 00:29:03,951
Yeah, in a big blue bowl

629
00:29:03,951 --> 00:29:06,703
so I wouldn't

And a glass of milk and Oreos.

631
00:29:09,164 --> 00:29:11,375
I don't like that yucky
white stuff in the middle.

632
00:29:11,375 --> 00:29:13,377
I'll scrape it off for you,

warm and snuggly.

634

I have this soft blankie
my grandma made.

635
00:29:20,175 --> 00:29:25,138
It's feathers inside and
fleecy cotton on the outside.

636
00:29:25,138 --> 00:29:29,518
And we'll just watch old shows
on TV until you can fall asleep.

637
00:29:29,518 --> 00:29:34,398
I have all the old
"Star Treks" on cassette.

638
00:29:34,398 --> 00:29:37,526
Even one with the Tribbles
where they start multiplying?

639
00:29:37,526 --> 00:29:39,778
Yep. Does that sound good?

I really don't like
the Oreos, though.

Could we stop and get
some graham crackers

643

and maybe some
chocolate syrup for the milk?

644

Mr. Brackman took it.

Douglas: We took a little
walk to the pet shop.

654
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,875
He's not a bad dog, really.

655
00:30:34,875 --> 00:30:36,960
He just gets anxious
when you leave him alone.

656
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,422
Thank you, Douglas.
I really ap-- appreciate it.

657
00:30:40,422 --> 00:30:44,092
You know, I brought a stray
home once when I was a boy,

658
00:30:44,092 --> 00:30:45,802
but my father gave
him to the gardener

659
00:30:45,802 --> 00:30:48,638
because he was always
jumping on the furniture.

660
00:30:48,638 --> 00:30:51,808
Where's his leash? I'll-- I'll
take him back to my office now.

661
00:30:51,808 --> 00:30:54,686
It occurred to me, since you're
having a hard time

why don't I take him?

Do you want him?

00:30:58,023 --> 00:31:00,317
I've always had a way with
animals.

665
00:31:00,317 --> 00:31:03,862
I prefer their company to
some people, in many cases.

I don't mean you.

I've taken the liberty of
giving him a name, Sparky.

I'm very grateful, Douglas,

670
00:31:12,204 --> 00:31:13,747
but do you really think
this is gonna work out?

671
00:31:13,747 --> 00:31:15,999
He'll have a nice
backyard to run in.

672
00:31:15,999 --> 00:31:18,251
It's better than
destroying the office.

673
00:31:18,251 --> 00:31:20,796
While he was in the file room,
he made rather a meal

674
00:31:20,796 --> 00:31:22,964
out of the
Rona vs. Gradinger file.

675
00:31:22,964 --> 00:31:26,301
Oh. Bad dog.

676
00:31:26,301 --> 00:31:29,137
He doesn't understand
why you're yelling at him.

677
00:31:29,137 --> 00:31:32,015
Unless you discipline him
at the scene of the crime,

678
00:31:32,015 --> 00:31:34,601
it just confuses the issue.

Isn't that right, Sparky?

00:31:36,394 --> 00:31:38,855
Hmm? Isn't that right?

the evidentiary errors,

683
00:31:46,488 --> 00:31:48,031
Your Honor, I would ask for a

associated with AIDS might

impact the ability to act
freely.

Judge 2: You're talking
diminished capacity, Counselor.

692
00:31:58,917 --> 00:32:00,877
You didn't raise it
at trial, so it's waived.

693
00:32:00,877 --> 00:32:03,255
Well, the thing is these are new
studies, Your Honor, and I--

694
00:32:03,255 --> 00:32:04,923
Nice try, Mr. Gilliam,

695
00:32:04,923 --> 00:32:07,092
but you're not gonna
get another bite with that.

696
00:32:09,427 --> 00:32:11,513
Well, the truth is, Your Honor,
I didn't raise it at trial

697
00:32:11,513 --> 00:32:13,682
because I didn't know about it.

698
00:32:13,682 --> 00:32:16,268
I just learned of the AIDS
syndrome defense yesterday.

699
00:32:16,268 --> 00:32:18,687
Ms. Van Owen told me about it.

700
00:32:18,687 --> 00:32:20,689
Judge 2: Ms. Van Owen
counseled you on this?

701

Mark: Yes, Your Honor.

702
00:32:22,149 --> 00:32:24,526
And in light of my
complete lack of knowledge

703
00:32:24,526 --> 00:32:26,153
of this vital defense,
I feel that

704
00:32:26,153 --> 00:32:27,946
I must,
as an officer of the court,

705
00:32:27,946 --> 00:32:30,949
move for a new trial on the
grounds that I was incompetent

706
00:32:30,949 --> 00:32:32,951
in my representation
of Mr. Appleton.

707
00:32:35,537 --> 00:32:37,747
Ms. Van Owen, did you in fact

708
00:32:37,747 --> 00:32:39,666
discuss these matters
with Mr. Gilliam?

709
00:32:41,084 --> 00:32:43,753
Yes, Your Honor, I did.

710
00:32:43,753 --> 00:32:45,964
Well, I'm gonna
require briefs on this,

711
00:32:45,964 --> 00:32:48,550
but my inclination is to
grant Mr. Gilliam's motion.

That's a principle you
don't turn your back on

What the hell happened?

789
00:36:36,194 --> 00:36:38,405
Your man knocked over a liquor
store. That's what happened.

790
00:36:38,405 --> 00:36:39,989
Michael: And four plain
clothes detectives

791
00:36:39,989 --> 00:36:42,033
just happened to be there,
ready to gun him down?

792
00:36:42,033 --> 00:36:44,369
He pointed a pistol at them.
They were justified.

793
00:36:44,369 --> 00:36:46,371
Michael: It was an ambush,
and you know it.

794
00:36:46,371 --> 00:36:48,581
That punk was sticking
a gun in people's faces

795
00:36:48,581 --> 00:36:50,708
less than 10 hours
after his release.

796
00:36:50,708 --> 00:36:52,836
Those cops executed
Petrovek, and you set it up.

797
00:36:52,836 --> 00:36:54,421
If you mean did I tell
the police

798
00:36:54,421 --> 00:36:56,381
to follow him,
you're damn right.

799
00:36:56,381 --> 00:36:58,550
Am I glad he got killed before
he killed somebody else?

800
00:36:58,550 --> 00:37:00,176
You bet.

801
00:37:00,176 --> 00:37:02,429
You just bought yourself
a wrongful death action.

802
00:37:02,429 --> 00:37:04,264
Adler: Take your best shot.

803
00:37:04,264 --> 00:37:06,391
You've got about as much chance
of that as I had of keeping

804
00:37:06,391 --> 00:37:08,518
that sleaze locked up
in the first place.

805
00:37:20,613 --> 00:37:22,449
Arnie, what's this all about?

806
00:37:22,449 --> 00:37:25,243
Summoning your mother to your
office like a total stranger.

807
00:37:25,243 --> 00:37:28,496
I had to break a 3 o'clock
date with Louise Swanson

808
00:37:28,496 --> 00:37:29,831
at the Polo Lounge,
for God's sake,

809
00:37:29,831 --> 00:37:32,834
and this man tells
me that my son

810
00:37:32,834 --> 00:37:35,420
is representing him in
the divorce proceeding.

811
00:37:35,420 --> 00:37:37,797
Go ahead, Arnold.
Tell her that you're my lawyer.

812
00:37:37,797 --> 00:37:40,550
How dare you do this to me.

813
00:37:40,550 --> 00:37:42,594
- Like father, like son.
- Lucky for him.

814
00:37:42,594 --> 00:37:45,096
You'd have turned him into
a back-biting, bedwetting,

815
00:37:45,096 --> 00:37:46,681
flute-playing,
little fat boy wimp.

816
00:37:46,681 --> 00:37:49,392
Enough, both of you.

817
00:37:49,392 --> 00:37:52,770
Just sit down and be quiet.

818
00:37:57,192 --> 00:37:58,401
Thank you.

819
00:37:59,652 --> 00:38:02,113
Now, Ms. Melman is taking notes

820
00:38:02,113 --> 00:38:04,282
to reflect that in the
matter of Becker vs. Becker,

821
00:38:04,282 --> 00:38:07,076
both parties have requested
that their son, Arnold Becker,

822
00:38:07,076 --> 00:38:09,704
represent them
as their attorney.

823
00:38:09,704 --> 00:38:11,623
The record will further reflect
that Arnold Becker

824
00:38:11,623 --> 00:38:14,417
hereby refuses upon pain of
death to represent

825
00:38:14,417 --> 00:38:17,212
either
party in a legal capacity.

826
00:38:17,212 --> 00:38:19,964
In his capacity as son, however,

827
00:38:19,964 --> 00:38:22,383
he would like to state that it's
about time both parties grew up

828
00:38:22,383 --> 00:38:24,010
and stopped using
the aforementioned son

829
00:38:24,010 --> 00:38:26,262
to bludgeon each other.

830
00:38:26,262 --> 00:38:27,514
He would further suggest that

831
00:38:27,514 --> 00:38:29,265
in recognition
of 40 years together,

832
00:38:29,265 --> 00:38:31,309
the parties might at least
attempt some counseling

833
00:38:31,309 --> 00:38:33,603
before they decide to throw
in the towel on this marriage.

834
00:38:35,897 --> 00:38:37,690
In the event, however,
the parties choose

835
00:38:37,690 --> 00:38:39,526
to disregard this advice,
they are of course free

836
00:38:39,526 --> 00:38:42,320
to seek counsel, get a divorce,
and split up their property

837
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,073
any way they want, leaving their
son totally out of it.

838
00:38:47,492 --> 00:38:51,329
You see, Mom... Dad...

839
00:38:52,455 --> 00:38:54,499
your only child...

840
00:38:56,251 --> 00:38:59,629
your baby boy...
is 36 years old...

841
00:39:01,631 --> 00:39:03,633
and neither one of you
is gonna get custody.

842
00:39:05,301 --> 00:39:06,636
Is that clear?

843
00:39:12,725 --> 00:39:14,686
If we have to sell the house,
there won't even be enough left

844
00:39:14,686 --> 00:39:16,563
for two lousy
one-bedroom condos.

845
00:39:16,563 --> 00:39:19,732
Social Security goes down, too.

846
00:39:19,732 --> 00:39:21,943
I guess if you really
hate Palm Springs,

847
00:39:21,943 --> 00:39:24,320
we can talk about moving back.

848
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,906
Mrs. Becker: Al, a bill came
from the proctologist

849
00:39:26,906 --> 00:39:29,826
for a surgical consultation.

850
00:39:29,826 --> 00:39:31,411
Mr. Becker:
I didn't want to worry you.

851
00:39:31,411 --> 00:39:33,204
Don Wallastein went
through the same operation.

852
00:39:33,204 --> 00:39:34,747
He was in and out in a week.

853
00:39:34,747 --> 00:39:37,375
[instrumental music]

854
00:39:50,388 --> 00:39:53,099
Arnie, it just came.

855
00:39:53,099 --> 00:39:55,226
It's so beautiful.

856
00:39:55,226 --> 00:39:56,686
You really like them?

857
00:39:56,686 --> 00:39:58,938
I can't believe it.

858
00:39:58,938 --> 00:40:01,691
It's nicer than the
Christine Amorelli.

859
00:40:01,691 --> 00:40:03,401
That's 'cause it's
the Roxanne Melman.

860
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:05,945
I told Bennett's it was for the
most special lady in my life.

861
00:40:07,363 --> 00:40:08,823
Arnie, thank you.

862
00:40:08,823 --> 00:40:09,782
No.

863
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,744
No, thank you, Rox.

864
00:40:13,661 --> 00:40:16,289
Last night was...

865
00:40:16,289 --> 00:40:18,833
was really,
really special for me.

866
00:40:18,833 --> 00:40:21,377
Would you um, like to again...

867
00:40:22,003 --> 00:40:24,130
I mean, come over?

868
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:28,217
No, I don't think so, Rox.

869
00:40:28,217 --> 00:40:29,510
Oh, you've got a date.

870
00:40:29,510 --> 00:40:31,971
Oh, no, the truth is,

871
00:40:31,971 --> 00:40:34,349
I'm just not so sure
I could trust myself

872
00:40:34,349 --> 00:40:36,559
to be such a gentleman again.

873
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,272
I love you.

[indistinct chatter]

It's a police state, Lester.
Who's kidding who?

878
00:41:02,794 --> 00:41:04,921
Once your boys got together,

879
00:41:04,921 --> 00:41:08,508
they decided to take the
law into their own hands.

880
00:41:08,508 --> 00:41:11,010
The man shouldn't have been on
the streets in the first place.

881
00:41:11,010 --> 00:41:13,554
Oh, so it's my fault he's dead?

882

Is-- is that
what we're saying here?

883
00:41:14,847 --> 00:41:17,016
We're saying it's his fault,

884
00:41:17,016 --> 00:41:19,435
unless they changed the law
about holding up liquor stores

885
00:41:19,435 --> 00:41:22,146
whilst I was relieving
myself in the men's room.

886
00:41:22,146 --> 00:41:24,065
Yeah, well, he didn't
deserve to be gunned down

887
00:41:24,065 --> 00:41:27,026
by a bunch of fascist,
gun-toting cowboys

who knew damn well they
were gonna get away with it.

889
00:41:29,487 --> 00:41:31,030
To tell you the
truth, Counselor,

890
00:41:31,030 --> 00:41:33,449
the deceased was not
a righteous individual.

891
00:41:33,449 --> 00:41:35,827
The deceased
was a total freaking

892
00:41:35,827 --> 00:41:38,162
degenerate drug-humping killer
who I, for one,

893
00:41:38,162 --> 00:41:40,665
will not lose
one minute's sleep over, huh?

894
00:41:40,665 --> 00:41:42,125
Yeah, well, what
about the next guy

895
00:41:42,125 --> 00:41:44,293
these hot dogs
decide to blow away?

896
00:41:44,293 --> 00:41:48,089
Is it gonna be because they
don't like the color of his skin

897
00:41:48,089 --> 00:41:50,049
and they figure their own
department is willing

898
00:41:50,049 --> 00:41:53,636
to wink at what amounts
to sanctioned murder, Lester?

899
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:57,473
Internal Affairs will
investigate the shooting,

900
00:41:57,473 --> 00:41:59,642
alright, and if this
was out of policy,

902
00:42:01,436 --> 00:42:03,438
will be dealt with
accordingly, alright?

903
00:42:03,438 --> 00:42:06,190
This is a recorded
message, Lester.

904
00:42:06,190 --> 00:42:09,485
Huh. You looking for
a fight, huh, sport, huh?

And I'm looking for a
good night's sleep, alright?

906
00:42:13,906 --> 00:42:17,118
Do you find it ironic, Lester,

907
00:42:17,118 --> 00:42:21,330
that I took this guy's case
to prevent an execution,

908
00:42:21,330 --> 00:42:24,167
and I did my job so
well, it got him killed?

I need a ride home.

00:44:34,881 --> 00:44:37,383
I am not drunk.

946
00:44:37,383 --> 00:44:39,385
[chuckling] Gosh, no.

947
00:44:39,385 --> 00:44:40,845
[all laugh]

948
00:44:43,014 --> 00:44:45,892
- Oh, boy.
- Oh, boy. Come on.

949
00:44:45,892 --> 00:44:48,019
I gotta get you
into a cold shower

950
00:44:48,019 --> 00:44:51,147
and some hot coffee
and then into bed.

951
00:44:51,147 --> 00:44:55,234
The truth, I am
glad the guy's dead.

952
00:44:55,234 --> 00:44:56,527
And what if he'd done it again?

953
00:44:56,527 --> 00:44:59,488
I couldn't have
lived with myself.

954
00:44:59,488 --> 00:45:04,076
So, tell me, does that
make me a hypocrite?

955
00:45:06,704 --> 00:45:08,915
No, it makes you human.

956
00:45:11,459 --> 00:45:13,210
Thank you, Gracie.

957
00:45:13,210 --> 00:45:14,921
I love you

958
00:45:14,921 --> 00:45:18,841
and I feel terrible about
everything that's happened

959
00:45:18,841 --> 00:45:21,093
and I'm gonna feel like
a jerk in the morning.

960
00:45:21,093 --> 00:45:22,136
Mm-hmm.

961
00:45:22,136 --> 00:45:23,638
But I still think you're wrong

962
00:45:23,638 --> 00:45:26,641
about capital punishment.

963
00:45:26,641 --> 00:45:28,851
When I become Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court,

964
00:45:28,851 --> 00:45:30,811
there are gonna be
some changes made.

965
00:45:31,437 --> 00:45:33,314
Okay.

966
00:45:33,314 --> 00:45:35,483
Come on, Mr. Chief Justice.

967
00:45:35,483 --> 00:45:37,193
[laughs]

968
00:45:37,193 --> 00:45:37,902
Oh.

969
00:45:40,738 --> 00:45:41,948
[groans]

970
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:45,117
[whispering]

971
00:45:45,117 --> 00:45:46,911
[laughs] A shower will make you
feel better.

972
00:45:46,911 --> 00:45:48,913
- There you go.
- Wait a minute.

973
00:45:50,122 --> 00:45:52,541
Come on.

974
00:45:52,541 --> 00:45:53,876
Let me take your watch.

975
00:45:55,544 --> 00:45:57,713
- Oh, that's cold.
- Yeah, that's the whole idea.

976
00:45:57,713 --> 00:45:59,298
Whoo!

977
00:45:59,298 --> 00:46:01,300
No! No!

978
00:46:01,300 --> 00:46:03,511
Aah! Aah!

979
00:46:03,511 --> 00:46:06,597
I love you, Gracie.

980
00:46:06,597 --> 00:46:08,349
- I love you.
- I love you, too.

981
00:46:14,438 --> 00:46:16,941
