1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,040
Previously on L .A. Law.

2
00:00:02,260 --> 00:00:04,490
You and Ms. Alder had a relationship,
right?

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,750
I wouldn't call it a relationship. We
went out a few times.

4
00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:13,880
You had sexual relations on some of
those occasions, didn't you?

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,020
What's this about, Mr. Gordon?

6
00:00:16,140 --> 00:00:18,120
This is about paternity, Mr. Markowitz.

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,010
You have a daughter.

8
00:00:20,380 --> 00:00:21,820
She's your daughter, Stuart.

9
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:24,160
What? You're the father, I can tell.

10
00:00:24,161 --> 00:00:28,159
Terrific. Let's drop some paper. Look in
her eyes, for God's sake. Can't you see

11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,559
it? I don't believe this. How are we
going to tell Matthew?

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,790
Are you okay about this? It's not the
mother.

13
00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:38,659
It's the idea that there is a stranger
out there that has some kind of claim on

14
00:00:38,660 --> 00:00:41,360
you. Is this what they mean by hands -on
journalism?

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,410
Roxanne. Hi.

16
00:00:48,020 --> 00:00:50,400
This is Julie Rayburn.

17
00:00:50,401 --> 00:00:52,959
Do you know Julie River? No.

18
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,660
No, but I've heard a lot about her.

19
00:00:55,060 --> 00:00:57,100
I live with someone.

20
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,680
And I love her. I won't hurt her.

21
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,000
God, that turns me on.

22
00:01:03,540 --> 00:01:05,180
Julie, look, I gotta go.

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:09,890
Mr.

24
00:01:10,580 --> 00:01:13,080
Becker, you have a torsion.

25
00:01:13,630 --> 00:01:18,690
A man's testicles are suspended inside
the scrotal sac by the spermatic cords.

26
00:01:19,070 --> 00:01:22,330
These cords can sometimes become
twisted.

27
00:01:22,990 --> 00:01:24,040
Okay.

28
00:01:24,810 --> 00:01:25,860
Nothing happened.

29
00:01:26,430 --> 00:01:28,150
You don't sound like you mean it.

30
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:31,630
Don't push it, Arnie. I'm doing the best
that I can.

31
00:01:34,810 --> 00:01:37,310
Could you speed it up in there, please?
I'm late.

32
00:01:37,610 --> 00:01:39,050
You can join me if you want to.

33
00:01:39,630 --> 00:01:40,680
No, thank you.

34
00:01:40,681 --> 00:01:42,039
Come on, Rock.

35
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,520
I'm moving a little slow here.

36
00:01:44,020 --> 00:01:45,070
There's a drought.

37
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,600
You're a good citizen.

38
00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:57,180
So how are they feeling, Tim?

39
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,180
Oh, much better, thank you.

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,330
Ah, here. Let me scrub them back. All
right.

41
00:02:05,380 --> 00:02:08,820
You know, I get the feeling, Rock, there
still may be some...

42
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,600
residual tensions between us?

43
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,220
Thank you very much.

44
00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:20,200
Well, I know I haven't given you reasons
to trust me in the past, but this time,

45
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,280
I swear, nothing happened.

46
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,500
I really need you to believe me.

47
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,440
Bernie, I want to believe you.

48
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:33,219
I really do want to believe you. Whoa,
careful, Ralph. I still got stitches

49
00:02:33,220 --> 00:02:37,319
there. Don't worry. I need to trust you.
You need to trust me. What are you

50
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,400
doing? Hold still.

51
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:39,730
Don't worry.

52
00:02:40,180 --> 00:02:43,200
I just need the answer to one simple
question.

53
00:02:43,940 --> 00:02:46,140
What did you do with Julie Rayburn?

54
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,900
Nothing. I swear on my Tinder,
recuperating parts, nothing.

55
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,620
I believe you. Good. Could you let go
now, please?

56
00:02:58,990 --> 00:03:00,040
Do I have to?

57
00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:04,480
Maybe not.

58
00:05:11,820 --> 00:05:14,520
Is your name Robert Henry Richards?

59
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:15,970
Yes.

60
00:05:16,460 --> 00:05:18,690
Were you born in Santa Monica,
California?

61
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,050
Yes.

62
00:05:20,051 --> 00:05:24,339
Did Tyra McDermott consent to have
sexual intercourse with you on September

63
00:05:24,340 --> 00:05:25,390
20th, 1991?

64
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,960
Yes. Did you have the highest batting
average in the National League last

65
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,370
Uh, no.

66
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,079
No? Well, they called my single in the
last game an error, so Pendleton won the

67
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,320
title. You were robbed.

68
00:05:37,321 --> 00:05:39,719
Do you have a California driver's
license?

69
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,770
Uh, yes.

70
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,670
Did you rape Tara McDermott on September
20th, 1991?

71
00:05:44,260 --> 00:05:45,310
No.

72
00:05:46,740 --> 00:05:48,400
Okay, that's it. You can move.

73
00:05:49,140 --> 00:05:50,200
So, how'd I do?

74
00:05:52,300 --> 00:05:53,350
He can hear.

75
00:05:53,460 --> 00:05:55,080
Your client's telling the truth.

76
00:05:55,081 --> 00:05:59,379
So how come we can't use this thing in
court?

77
00:05:59,380 --> 00:06:02,360
So how come you can't steal second base
on a foul ball?

78
00:06:03,180 --> 00:06:04,230
Rules of the game.

79
00:06:04,340 --> 00:06:07,680
That's right. But don't worry. The jury
will get to hear you.

80
00:06:15,180 --> 00:06:18,479
Is Robbie going to take the stand?

81
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,379
We haven't made that determination, but
since the polygraph test Robbie passed

82
00:06:22,380 --> 00:06:25,460
is not admissible, chances are he will
testify.

83
00:06:25,740 --> 00:06:26,840
Well, there he is.

84
00:06:26,841 --> 00:06:28,009
Well done.

85
00:06:28,010 --> 00:06:29,810
Come on, Ann, you'd do the same.

86
00:06:29,811 --> 00:06:33,489
I'm sorry, I wouldn't. That's cheap
thrills throwing in a polygraph test.

87
00:06:33,490 --> 00:06:36,260
Are you upset that he passed? There's
nothing. Exactly.

88
00:06:36,261 --> 00:06:39,429
What, you think he's got to be guilty
just because a woman yells rape? What

89
00:06:39,430 --> 00:06:41,209
would she have to gain from making it
up?

90
00:06:41,210 --> 00:06:45,389
Lazy groundwork for a big fat civil
suit. That's right. Stuart, excuse me if

91
00:06:45,390 --> 00:06:46,890
it's not politically correct.

92
00:06:47,150 --> 00:06:52,329
but I'm representing this man as Alex is
defending a drug lord. He's not a drug

93
00:06:52,330 --> 00:06:55,989
lord. He's just a guy who was dumb
enough to take a fall. And I happen to

94
00:06:55,990 --> 00:06:59,600
believe my client. Would you be so
bothered if this were a murder charge?

95
00:06:59,850 --> 00:07:03,880
No, I'm bothered because the incidence
of false rape report is minuscule. Well,

96
00:07:03,890 --> 00:07:06,720
then let's forget trials and just
castrate the bastard.

97
00:07:06,810 --> 00:07:10,370
Ladies, ladies, please, a little
sensitivity. It's Arnie's first day

98
00:07:10,371 --> 00:07:13,549
Yeah, he still may be feeling a little
testy. But we know you'll be back on the

99
00:07:13,550 --> 00:07:14,990
ball in no time. Right, Arnie?

100
00:07:15,290 --> 00:07:16,340
Thanks, guys.

101
00:07:17,140 --> 00:07:21,619
Neck, people versus Ruiz. I thought we
agreed to plead this out. For some

102
00:07:21,620 --> 00:07:25,159
reason, the D .A. won't budge. Judge
Kelton's playing hardball. Kelton's

103
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,859
favorite game. Yeah, well, your first
piece of bad luck was ending up in his

104
00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:31,899
courtroom. Tell me about it. The
evidence against my guy comes from a

105
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:35,519
cocaine customers that somebody planted
in his house, and the cops took it

106
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:36,359
without a warrant.

107
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,519
And Kelton's gonna let it in? He ruled
it was found incident to arrest and

108
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:40,960
denied my motion to suppress.

109
00:07:41,060 --> 00:07:42,440
You plead this one now, Alex.

110
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,730
Make the D .A. listen to you. And on
that sound advice... We're adjourned.

111
00:07:50,730 --> 00:07:55,689
No, C .J., I'm just saying I followed
his career for two years. He doesn't

112
00:07:55,690 --> 00:07:56,569
to be the type.

113
00:07:56,570 --> 00:08:00,549
Oh, come on. Now, the D .A. only brought
charges because Richards is a

114
00:08:00,550 --> 00:08:03,210
superstar. You probably have his rookie
card.

115
00:08:03,870 --> 00:08:05,630
Right. I'm angling for an autograph.

116
00:08:06,070 --> 00:08:09,140
You've got to give me some of the
retainer bags. How much, Rui?

117
00:08:10,030 --> 00:08:14,110
Fifteen. You think we can buy Judge
Kelton for fifty? Are you nuts?

118
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,200
You're talking about a crime.

119
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,339
Besides, no way Judge Kelton's crooked.
Who's this guy? An ex -cop. He's a

120
00:08:23,340 --> 00:08:24,390
friend of Kelton's.

121
00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:26,460
He can make it go away.

122
00:08:26,461 --> 00:08:29,019
He's running a scam on you. He knows
you're scared.

123
00:08:29,020 --> 00:08:30,070
You bet I'm scared.

124
00:08:30,071 --> 00:08:33,479
I'm looking at a 12 -year minimum. So
you want to add a bribery charge?

125
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,959
Simone, I want to go for it. Look, I'm
not just your attorney. I'm an officer

126
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,579
the court. But you've got a problem.
I'll get me another lawyer.

127
00:08:40,580 --> 00:08:42,990
Good. This firm would love to see me get
rid of you.

128
00:08:45,170 --> 00:08:47,710
Or you can let me talk to the sex cop.

129
00:08:47,711 --> 00:08:51,489
I'll force his hand, prove he's no
friend of Judge Kelton's. But then we go

130
00:08:51,490 --> 00:08:52,950
to doing things my way.

131
00:08:53,990 --> 00:08:55,730
How are you going to call his bluff?

132
00:08:59,090 --> 00:09:00,590
Stuart, I... Oh, sorry.

133
00:09:00,810 --> 00:09:02,430
No, Anne, come here, come here.

134
00:09:02,650 --> 00:09:06,349
I'd like you to meet Karen Alder. It's
Sarah's mother. This is my wife, Anne

135
00:09:06,350 --> 00:09:08,910
Kelsey. Hi. It's a pleasure meeting you.

136
00:09:10,870 --> 00:09:12,590
Well, I'd better get going.

137
00:09:14,189 --> 00:09:16,839
I'll tell Sarah your idea. Maybe it's a
good solution.

138
00:09:16,870 --> 00:09:18,010
I think it's worth a try.

139
00:09:18,110 --> 00:09:19,370
Yeah. Okay. Okay.

140
00:09:20,210 --> 00:09:21,890
I'll let you know what she decides.

141
00:09:22,470 --> 00:09:24,870
It was nice meeting you. Nice to meet
you. Okay.

142
00:09:25,150 --> 00:09:26,390
Bye -bye. Thanks, Karen.

143
00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:31,280
What's worth a try?

144
00:09:31,830 --> 00:09:36,649
I was sending some money to Sarah, you
know, for books and clothes and things

145
00:09:36,650 --> 00:09:37,389
like that.

146
00:09:37,390 --> 00:09:39,169
Karen thought it was a terrible idea.

147
00:09:39,170 --> 00:09:42,149
She doesn't want to come running to me.
Every time she needs money, she thinks

148
00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:43,830
she should earn some of it herself.

149
00:09:44,130 --> 00:09:47,849
Sounds sensible. So suddenly it hit me.
I'm drowning in paperwork here. Why

150
00:09:47,850 --> 00:09:48,900
don't I hire Sarah?

151
00:09:50,050 --> 00:09:52,280
Hiring family members can get pretty
messy.

152
00:09:52,450 --> 00:09:54,250
Well, we're family. We work together.

153
00:09:54,450 --> 00:09:56,010
That's not the same thing at all.

154
00:09:56,011 --> 00:09:59,149
You don't even know Sarah yet. Yeah, so
this way I'll get to know her. I'm not

155
00:09:59,150 --> 00:10:01,589
saying that you shouldn't get to know
your daughter. Why are you having a

156
00:10:01,590 --> 00:10:04,449
problem with this? Because I'm jealous
of her, and I'm scared that she's going

157
00:10:04,450 --> 00:10:05,500
to keep you from us.

158
00:10:05,710 --> 00:10:08,810
Oh, I... I know, but that's how I feel.
I can't help it.

159
00:10:13,930 --> 00:10:14,980
I love you.

160
00:10:15,270 --> 00:10:16,390
I love our son.

161
00:10:17,110 --> 00:10:18,160
Okay?

162
00:10:19,430 --> 00:10:22,020
It's just that I can't pretend Sarah
doesn't exist.

163
00:10:22,070 --> 00:10:26,429
I've got to get past the hurdle of this
person being a stranger to me. And I

164
00:10:26,430 --> 00:10:28,629
think offering her a job is a great way
to start.

165
00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:29,680
Okay?

166
00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:41,590
Miss McDermott, where did you meet
Robbie Richards?

167
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:48,539
At a bar in Malibu, the Key Largo. He
kept looking at me, and then he

168
00:10:48,540 --> 00:10:51,780
came over and asked if he could buy me a
drink.

169
00:10:51,781 --> 00:10:53,039
And you agreed?

170
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,140
Sure. It's not every day that I get to
meet somebody like him.

171
00:10:56,340 --> 00:10:58,140
How long did you stay at the bar?

172
00:10:58,420 --> 00:11:02,060
We talked for about an hour. We really
seemed to hit it off.

173
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,940
And then he asked if I wanted to go to a
party.

174
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,500
Now, up to this point, was there
anything...

175
00:11:10,220 --> 00:11:13,520
And Mr. Richards' behavior that
suggested you were in danger.

176
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:19,839
No. I mean, I knew that he was flirting
with me, but... I

177
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,340
thought he was real sweet.

178
00:11:22,580 --> 00:11:24,580
But that changed at the party.

179
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,740
Yes. Robbie and I took a walk out on the
bluff.

180
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,660
What happened when you were alone?

181
00:11:33,020 --> 00:11:39,200
He started to kiss me hard. I tried to
push him away. I told him...

182
00:11:39,630 --> 00:11:40,710
To slow down.

183
00:11:40,990 --> 00:11:42,070
And what happened?

184
00:11:42,430 --> 00:11:44,310
He pushed me down on the ground.

185
00:11:44,550 --> 00:11:51,409
And the next thing I knew, he was on top
of me, pulling my

186
00:11:51,410 --> 00:11:52,460
skirt up.

187
00:11:53,550 --> 00:11:55,350
And I kept saying no.

188
00:11:55,730 --> 00:11:57,370
How did Mr. Richards respond?

189
00:11:58,110 --> 00:11:59,250
He raped me.

190
00:11:59,590 --> 00:12:00,650
Did you resist?

191
00:12:01,050 --> 00:12:08,049
I tried, but he was so strong, I
couldn't move. I screamed, but he had

192
00:12:08,050 --> 00:12:09,100
across my throat.

193
00:12:09,550 --> 00:12:12,290
And what happened when it was over?

194
00:12:12,770 --> 00:12:18,430
I got up and ran, and he came after me
and grabbed me, asked me what was wrong,

195
00:12:18,510 --> 00:12:19,710
why I was running away.

196
00:12:21,290 --> 00:12:28,070
And I started thinking that maybe I was
crazy because he kept talking,

197
00:12:28,190 --> 00:12:34,390
saying how nice it was and how good I
had been.

198
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,000
Almost as if he were consoling the
losing team.

199
00:12:38,580 --> 00:12:40,420
Objection. That is not what she said.

200
00:12:40,820 --> 00:12:45,199
Sustained. After he walked you back
inside, you left the party a short time

201
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,250
later. Yes.

202
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,290
Thank you, Todd.

203
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,370
You didn't leave the party right away,
did you, Miss McDermott?

204
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,550
I gotta go. Out of there as fast as I
could.

205
00:12:58,790 --> 00:13:03,150
Didn't you first go upstairs to one of
the bedrooms to touch up your makeup?

206
00:13:03,390 --> 00:13:04,440
I was a mess.

207
00:13:04,490 --> 00:13:09,549
Did you tell anyone upstairs or when you
went back down to the party that you

208
00:13:09,550 --> 00:13:10,600
had been assaulted?

209
00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:15,629
No. But you did speak to people. In
fact, weren't you trying to find Robbie

210
00:13:15,630 --> 00:13:18,430
Richards, this man you had to get away
from?

211
00:13:18,690 --> 00:13:21,470
Didn't you ask several guests where he
was?

212
00:13:21,910 --> 00:13:26,519
Yes. And isn't that... When you got
upset when you heard that he'd left the

213
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,660
party without you.

214
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:33,299
I don't remember. Do you remember that
the next morning you left two messages

215
00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:34,059
for Mr.

216
00:13:34,060 --> 00:13:35,320
Richards at the stadium?

217
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:40,899
Yes. What exactly did you want to
discuss with this man you say brutally

218
00:13:40,900 --> 00:13:41,950
attacked you?

219
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,520
I wanted him to apologize.

220
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,080
For treating you like a one -night
stand?

221
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,220
Isn't that what this is really about?

222
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,820
No. Well, if he had said he was sorry.

223
00:13:52,821 --> 00:13:54,939
Would you have still gone to the police?

224
00:13:54,940 --> 00:13:55,839
I don't know.

225
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,060
But you waited 12 hours.

226
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:04,839
Why? I know, but I... Wasn't it because
you wanted to make sure he

227
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,300
wasn't going to return your call before
you cried rape? It wasn't like that.

228
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:12,240
I have nothing further.

229
00:14:34,451 --> 00:14:36,299
How you doing?

230
00:14:36,300 --> 00:14:37,350
Not bad.

231
00:14:37,660 --> 00:14:38,710
Coffee?

232
00:14:39,220 --> 00:14:40,270
You been faster?

233
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,930
Who are you?

234
00:14:42,380 --> 00:14:44,880
Armand. I represent Al Ruiz.

235
00:14:46,380 --> 00:14:47,430
Never heard of him.

236
00:14:47,980 --> 00:14:51,350
Mr. Ruiz thinks a friend of yours wants
to do business with him. Wrong.

237
00:14:52,220 --> 00:14:53,840
I got no friend who needs a lawyer.

238
00:14:54,540 --> 00:14:57,130
Not even a lawyer who's holding his
client's cash?

239
00:14:57,140 --> 00:14:58,190
There you go.

240
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,920
Maybe you got no friend at all.

241
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,840
Oh, I got a friend, though, right?

242
00:15:04,590 --> 00:15:05,640
I do.

243
00:15:05,870 --> 00:15:10,669
I know guys like Al Ruiz come before the
bench one time, but I can do business

244
00:15:10,670 --> 00:15:11,790
day in, day out.

245
00:15:15,590 --> 00:15:18,870
Of course, sometimes the case can get
pretty discouraging.

246
00:15:19,870 --> 00:15:20,920
That's all.

247
00:15:20,921 --> 00:15:24,369
Yeah, you get a judge who's against you,
denies your motion to suppress

248
00:15:24,370 --> 00:15:25,930
evidence, denies it out of hand.

249
00:15:26,430 --> 00:15:27,480
Makes it tough.

250
00:15:27,481 --> 00:15:28,549
Yeah?

251
00:15:28,550 --> 00:15:29,600
Yeah.

252
00:15:29,601 --> 00:15:32,249
You always hope a judge will reconsider
a motion.

253
00:15:32,250 --> 00:15:33,690
I've seen it happen.

254
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:36,760
Judge sleeps on a ruling, decides to
rethink it.

255
00:15:37,220 --> 00:15:39,860
And if that happens, what's it prove?

256
00:15:40,180 --> 00:15:41,800
Well, it's just a sign, you know?

257
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,400
A sign that you're being heard.

258
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,760
That things might go in your way.

259
00:15:49,980 --> 00:15:51,030
No.

260
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,060
No, you get the next one.

261
00:15:53,900 --> 00:15:54,950
We'll see.

262
00:15:57,420 --> 00:16:01,880
You need these copied and filed by when?

263
00:16:02,220 --> 00:16:03,270
Friday.

264
00:16:03,370 --> 00:16:04,420
It's only two days.

265
00:16:04,421 --> 00:16:05,289
Piece of cake.

266
00:16:05,290 --> 00:16:06,289
Blue or yellow?

267
00:16:06,290 --> 00:16:07,340
I don't know.

268
00:16:08,050 --> 00:16:09,930
Blue? Brilliant. My favorite color.

269
00:16:09,931 --> 00:16:13,669
No, I mean, I don't know what I'm
supposed to do with them. Oh, Benny,

270
00:16:13,670 --> 00:16:16,629
my daughter, Sarah. You know, I
mentioned to you she's going to be

271
00:16:16,630 --> 00:16:18,430
you. Sarah, this is Benny Stallworth.

272
00:16:18,570 --> 00:16:19,620
Hi.

273
00:16:19,690 --> 00:16:20,740
Hello.

274
00:16:20,810 --> 00:16:21,860
Isn't she gorgeous?

275
00:16:22,731 --> 00:16:25,429
Where's the paper shutter?

276
00:16:25,430 --> 00:16:29,220
Oh, we moved it over there, Benny. We
wanted to give Sarah a little workspace.

277
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:36,360
Well, what if it comes on by accident
and I drop an important letter into it?

278
00:16:36,740 --> 00:16:38,240
Unplug it while you do the mail.

279
00:16:38,420 --> 00:16:40,260
Yeah, there's a good suggestion.

280
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,380
How come she gets to wear jeans?

281
00:16:44,220 --> 00:16:47,580
I forgot to mention the dress code we
have here.

282
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:48,890
Jeans aren't okay.

283
00:16:48,940 --> 00:16:50,740
We're supposed to wear nice clothes.

284
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,640
Have you had anything to eat since
lunch? I don't eat lunch.

285
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,640
I guess I better get started.

286
00:16:57,641 --> 00:17:00,799
No, I don't want you working on an empty
stomach. Come on, I'll get you

287
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:01,940
something downstairs.

288
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,500
Benny, excuse us.

289
00:17:05,020 --> 00:17:11,579
Oh. So, uh... Hey,

290
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:21,649
Kessler.

291
00:17:22,180 --> 00:17:23,960
Hi. Great to have you back.

292
00:17:24,540 --> 00:17:27,010
I've been feeling terrible about what
happened.

293
00:17:27,210 --> 00:17:28,260
It wasn't your fault.

294
00:17:28,349 --> 00:17:33,050
But I can't stop thinking about your
injury.

295
00:17:34,210 --> 00:17:35,260
Everything okay?

296
00:17:35,650 --> 00:17:37,310
No permanent damage.

297
00:17:37,610 --> 00:17:38,660
Thank you.

298
00:17:38,970 --> 00:17:41,570
Good. A girl could get a reputation.

299
00:17:42,590 --> 00:17:47,969
Listen, if I had to share such an
awkward and painful experience with

300
00:17:47,970 --> 00:17:53,550
can't imagine anyone who could have been
more understanding than you.

301
00:17:54,070 --> 00:17:56,530
So, everything okay at home?

302
00:17:56,531 --> 00:17:59,419
Because I'd be happy to talk to Roseanne
if she's upset.

303
00:17:59,420 --> 00:18:00,470
No, no.

304
00:18:00,820 --> 00:18:02,440
She was, but she's coming around.

305
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,150
I just hate for her to get the wrong
idea about what happened between us.

306
00:18:06,180 --> 00:18:08,340
Not that anything did happen.

307
00:18:08,940 --> 00:18:10,440
No, damn it.

308
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,250
But I bet it would have been nice if it
had.

309
00:18:14,060 --> 00:18:15,110
Take that.

310
00:18:17,060 --> 00:18:21,699
Well, you're sure everything's okay with
Roseanne? Oh, Roxanne, and yeah, I

311
00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:23,380
explained it, and she believed me.

312
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,560
Hang on to her. Women like that are few
and far between.

313
00:18:27,860 --> 00:18:28,940
I know.

314
00:18:34,980 --> 00:18:36,720
Oh, great. Let's go over it together.

315
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:44,619
The first thing I noticed was a series
of lacerations on her thighs and

316
00:18:44,620 --> 00:18:48,299
buttocks. And the cause of these
lacerations? The injuries were

317
00:18:48,300 --> 00:18:50,800
Miss McDermott's claim that force had
been used.

318
00:18:50,801 --> 00:18:53,069
Were there any other signs of a
struggle?

319
00:18:53,070 --> 00:18:55,410
Tenderness around the throat and wrists.

320
00:18:55,750 --> 00:19:00,409
Dr. Morris, was there anything in your
examination that was inconsistent with

321
00:19:00,410 --> 00:19:03,169
Miss McDermott's allegation that a rape
had occurred?

322
00:19:03,170 --> 00:19:05,330
No. All my findings supported that
claim.

323
00:19:05,331 --> 00:19:06,349
Thank you, Doctor.

324
00:19:06,350 --> 00:19:07,400
Your witness.

325
00:19:09,010 --> 00:19:13,969
Doctor, you say Miss McDermott sustained
lacerations. Exactly what do you mean

326
00:19:13,970 --> 00:19:17,810
by lacerations? In this case, rather
deep cuts.

327
00:19:18,310 --> 00:19:21,650
Cuts that could have been made by jagged
shells or rocks?

328
00:19:21,651 --> 00:19:23,619
They looked more like fingernail
scratches.

329
00:19:23,620 --> 00:19:27,280
So what you were calling lacerations
were fingernail scratches?

330
00:19:27,660 --> 00:19:29,560
These were deep scratches.

331
00:19:29,561 --> 00:19:33,879
Could these scratches have resulted from
nothing more than passionate sex?

332
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,320
It's possible, but I doubt it.

333
00:19:35,420 --> 00:19:41,019
Doctor, if Miss McDermott had never
mentioned rape, would you have

334
00:19:41,020 --> 00:19:43,910
that one had occurred based solely on
your examination?

335
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,700
Rape was a strong possibility.

336
00:19:46,060 --> 00:19:47,110
A possibility?

337
00:19:47,300 --> 00:19:48,350
A strong.

338
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,419
Possibility. And you're comfortable
supporting an accusation of rape based

339
00:19:53,420 --> 00:19:54,470
possibility?

340
00:19:54,820 --> 00:19:56,000
Objection. Withdrawn.

341
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,780
Thank you, doctor.

342
00:19:57,781 --> 00:20:03,379
Yeah, I thought it could be a little
strange, but it's actually working out

343
00:20:03,380 --> 00:20:06,030
quite well. As long as the documents are
ready on time.

344
00:20:07,340 --> 00:20:11,840
What I did?

345
00:20:14,220 --> 00:20:17,380
He won't let me. She wouldn't let me.

346
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,370
Wonderful.

347
00:20:20,860 --> 00:20:23,560
We'll see you a week from Tuesday. Next
case, please.

348
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:25,280
People versus Rui.

349
00:20:26,860 --> 00:20:31,099
Gentlemen, before we continue with the
calendar, I have decided to reconsider

350
00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:33,760
Mr. De Palma's earlier motion to
suppress.

351
00:20:33,761 --> 00:20:37,519
Judge Kelton, I don't see how you can do
that. After some additional research, I

352
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,110
have decided to take a second look. On
what grounds?

353
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:44,339
My review of the law, Mr. Handelman,
suggests that it's a closer call than

354
00:20:44,340 --> 00:20:47,380
thought. Your Honor. I will make my
ruling on Friday.

355
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,250
Is that clear?

356
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:58,400
We were right.

357
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:00,690
Kelton's for sale.

358
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:02,410
How do you know?

359
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,880
I asked Ventresca for a sign of good
faith, and the judge just gave it to me.

360
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:09,650
So what now?

361
00:21:09,850 --> 00:21:14,010
What, now? Now we go to the D .A. Hey,
don't double -cross me.

362
00:21:14,230 --> 00:21:15,930
Luis, they'll eat this up.

363
00:21:15,931 --> 00:21:18,889
Oh, you mean they'll cut me a deal? I
can't guarantee that.

364
00:21:18,890 --> 00:21:22,690
Then forget it. Forget I ever mentioned
Ventresca. It's way too late for that.

365
00:21:24,670 --> 00:21:26,210
Look, I'll cut you in, huh?

366
00:21:26,590 --> 00:21:30,590
I'll find another 20 for you. Luis,
there's no other way. We gotta report

367
00:21:33,130 --> 00:21:34,330
No, Alex, you don't.

368
00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:36,090
What are you talking about?

369
00:21:36,690 --> 00:21:38,090
The D .A. already knows.

370
00:21:38,860 --> 00:21:40,160
What the hell is going on?

371
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,180
Congratulations, Mr. DePalma.

372
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,620
You just did the right thing.

373
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,760
You were out to entrap me. We had to
confirm your reliability.

374
00:22:18,180 --> 00:22:21,720
Oh, get the ball, with all due respect.
I was in the crosshairs.

375
00:22:21,980 --> 00:22:23,030
Okay.

376
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,619
We weren't sure which way you would go.
So you concocted a bogus crime, you sent

377
00:22:27,620 --> 00:22:31,719
me a phony client, and you set me up?
You were never a primary target. Oh,

378
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,739
makes me feel much better. Listen, I
completely understand your outrage, but

379
00:22:35,740 --> 00:22:38,259
surely you understand the position
you're in now.

380
00:22:38,260 --> 00:22:43,379
This office is enormously grateful to
you and enormously dependent on your

381
00:22:43,380 --> 00:22:44,439
continued assistance.

382
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,930
Well, don't get too attached to that
scheme. I do not have to play along.

383
00:22:47,940 --> 00:22:52,119
but if our suspicions are valid, we're
talking about corruption that stinks to

384
00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:56,579
high heaven. Now, this man makes a
travesty of everything you and I do. Now

385
00:22:56,580 --> 00:22:57,660
we've flushed him out.

386
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,420
Ventresca trusts you. We can nail the
bastard if you help.

387
00:23:01,660 --> 00:23:03,280
You want me to deliver the bribe?

388
00:23:04,060 --> 00:23:05,720
I hoped we could count on you.

389
00:23:06,540 --> 00:23:09,460
That's why I took the liberty of having
this prepared.

390
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,960
I think $50 ,000 was the sum Mr.
Ventresca is expecting.

391
00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:14,410
Yeah.

392
00:23:14,510 --> 00:23:18,609
And if Judge Kelton wriggles out of this
somehow and stays on the bench, I take

393
00:23:18,610 --> 00:23:20,230
the heat for the rest of my career.

394
00:23:20,390 --> 00:23:21,440
There's that risk.

395
00:23:22,290 --> 00:23:23,340
You got some nerve.

396
00:23:23,490 --> 00:23:25,960
The question is, do you have the nerve
to join me?

397
00:23:26,330 --> 00:23:28,920
If you do, you've got to keep this
completely quiet.

398
00:23:28,930 --> 00:23:31,580
Judge Kelton has too many friends in too
many arenas.

399
00:23:38,730 --> 00:23:39,780
Thanks to Palmer.

400
00:23:46,540 --> 00:23:49,730
My wife and I had invited the rest of
the team over for a barbecue.

401
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,840
Sometime after midnight, I saw Robbie
and Miss McDermott slip out back.

402
00:23:54,841 --> 00:23:58,759
When did you next see them? About 20
minutes later, I was upstairs checking

403
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,930
the kids when I heard a scream from
outside.

404
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,510
I went out onto the balcony and saw them
down on the bluff.

405
00:24:04,780 --> 00:24:05,860
What were they doing?

406
00:24:05,980 --> 00:24:08,030
At first, I thought they were having
sex.

407
00:24:08,220 --> 00:24:11,660
But then she jumped to her feet and
started running back to the house.

408
00:24:11,940 --> 00:24:14,140
And what did Mr. Richards do?

409
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,810
He chased her.

410
00:24:15,811 --> 00:24:19,869
and grabbed her. She screamed and kept
on trying to break free, but he wouldn't

411
00:24:19,870 --> 00:24:25,389
let her go. I hustled down there to see
what was going on, but by the time I got

412
00:24:25,390 --> 00:24:27,869
outside, they were already coming up the
walkway.

413
00:24:27,870 --> 00:24:32,149
Did you say anything to either one of
them? I asked her if she was okay, but

414
00:24:32,150 --> 00:24:35,350
just walked on by with this blank look
on her face.

415
00:24:35,590 --> 00:24:36,640
Thank you.

416
00:24:36,710 --> 00:24:37,760
Nothing further.

417
00:24:41,420 --> 00:24:45,239
Mr. Landis, what is the distance from
your balcony to the spot on the cliff

418
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:46,259
where you saw Mr.

419
00:24:46,260 --> 00:24:49,120
Richards and Miss McDermott? I'd say 50
yards.

420
00:24:49,540 --> 00:24:51,500
It's a night with a half moon.

421
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:57,559
You're standing 50 yards away and you
see a couple running and grabbing at

422
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,560
other. And you immediately conclude this
is something sinister.

423
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,920
This wasn't play. It was violent.

424
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,910
Then why didn't you yell something to
make them stop?

425
00:25:07,420 --> 00:25:11,120
I went down there. To see what was going
on.

426
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,960
Those are your exact words, Mr. Landis.

427
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,280
You went down there because you didn't
know what you had seen. Isn't that

428
00:25:18,540 --> 00:25:19,620
I know what I saw.

429
00:25:22,420 --> 00:25:26,820
Is it true that your teammates have
nicknamed you Mr. Clean?

430
00:25:26,821 --> 00:25:28,879
Objection. It's irrelevant.

431
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,590
Goes to bias, Your Honor. I can get
there. See that you do.

432
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,320
The witness will answer.

433
00:25:33,660 --> 00:25:35,300
I know the reputation I have.

434
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:36,810
Yes.

435
00:25:36,910 --> 00:25:39,850
I'm a Christian, and I believe in family
values.

436
00:25:40,090 --> 00:25:42,290
And you don't approve of premarital sex?

437
00:25:42,610 --> 00:25:46,950
I don't think a big league uniform is a
license to use women like Kleenex. Now,

438
00:25:46,990 --> 00:25:50,050
is that your opinion of how Robbie
Richards treated women?

439
00:25:50,670 --> 00:25:56,869
Yes. So when you saw him slip out back
with his date, you assumed something

440
00:25:56,870 --> 00:26:01,149
unseemly was going to take place. Hey, I
saw what I saw. You saw what you

441
00:26:01,150 --> 00:26:04,689
expected to see because you didn't like
Robbie Richards. And no matter what I

442
00:26:04,690 --> 00:26:07,489
thought of Robbie's lifestyle, I
wouldn't want to hurt him. Because when

443
00:26:07,490 --> 00:26:11,689
gets slung at ballplayers, the whole
game gets dirty. And that hurts what I

444
00:26:11,690 --> 00:26:15,249
love. But I can't change what I saw, and
I won't say I didn't see it. Your

445
00:26:15,250 --> 00:26:16,300
Honor.

446
00:26:16,610 --> 00:26:17,660
Overruled.

447
00:26:19,730 --> 00:26:20,870
I have nothing further.

448
00:26:29,199 --> 00:26:30,740
How bad was that for us?

449
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,490
Bad enough.

450
00:26:32,491 --> 00:26:35,999
He's your own colleague, and he didn't
come off nearly as biased as I'd hoped.

451
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,590
So what now? If you have plans tonight,
cancel them.

452
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,070
We have to get you ready to testify
tomorrow.

453
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,180
Hey, Sarah. How was school?

454
00:26:49,780 --> 00:26:52,360
Okay. I almost have the client packets
ready.

455
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,360
Terrific. Then you deserve a break.

456
00:26:55,140 --> 00:26:56,560
I got you something at lunch.

457
00:26:56,561 --> 00:27:00,639
Now, you said your favorite subject was
ancient history, right?

458
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,119
Mm -hmm. Do you have this one yet?

459
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:03,170
No.

460
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,250
Thanks.

461
00:27:06,251 --> 00:27:07,259
It's nice.

462
00:27:07,260 --> 00:27:11,479
I'll tell you, history put me into a
coma until I started traveling. Then the

463
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,559
whole world opened up. I've got to get
these out to the messenger.

464
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:15,610
Yeah, I'll help you.

465
00:27:18,660 --> 00:27:20,360
So, have you done any traveling?

466
00:27:20,700 --> 00:27:22,080
Not unless Ensenada counts.

467
00:27:22,081 --> 00:27:24,979
Ensenada's not exactly what I had in
mind.

468
00:27:24,980 --> 00:27:28,519
Now, I was thinking maybe you could go
abroad in your junior year. That's what

469
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,870
my father did for me. Look, you're not
my father.

470
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,360
I mean, you are.

471
00:27:34,020 --> 00:27:36,440
But give me a break. Stop trying so
hard.

472
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:55,960
Want to get a bite to eat?

473
00:27:56,180 --> 00:27:57,380
Uh, too much homework.

474
00:27:57,700 --> 00:27:59,870
I'm still struggling with this Ruiz
thing.

475
00:28:00,140 --> 00:28:01,280
That's not what I heard.

476
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,079
Heard the judge did you a big favor.
Well, he's just reconsidering. That is

477
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,400
plenty coming from Kelton.

478
00:28:07,540 --> 00:28:10,910
Maybe he's getting soft in his old age.
I don't think that's it, Alex.

479
00:28:10,911 --> 00:28:15,179
What's going on? I heard something
coming out of this office the other day.

480
00:28:15,180 --> 00:28:17,499
really on the run here, Tom. Don't jerk
me around.

481
00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:18,550
Let's do this later.

482
00:28:18,551 --> 00:28:22,159
Do you think you can pull off some two
-bit stunt? Don't jump to conclusions.

483
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,359
You want me to trust you?

484
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:26,339
Help me out a little. Just get the hell
out of my office. I vouch for you here.

485
00:28:26,340 --> 00:28:30,199
The partner said reservations, pal, but
I said I know this kid. He ain't Ivy

486
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,959
League. He ain't up for 5 % of his
class, but he is a fighter. He will give

487
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:34,819
his best.

488
00:28:34,820 --> 00:28:37,180
You screw up, Alex, you're screwing me.

489
00:28:42,371 --> 00:28:49,799
Didn't Tara McDermott pull away when you
first tried to kiss her? No, sir. She

490
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,439
kissed me back. Didn't she say that?

491
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:52,490
No, I don't want to.

492
00:28:52,990 --> 00:28:55,730
She did, but she had to hear her. She
was laughing.

493
00:28:56,910 --> 00:28:58,470
She, uh, laid on the ground.

494
00:28:58,471 --> 00:29:01,749
You didn't push her down? No, that's a
bunch of bull. Don't lose your cool.

495
00:29:01,750 --> 00:29:02,950
That's what the D .A. wants.

496
00:29:05,010 --> 00:29:08,270
She reclined on the ground while you
weren't touching her.

497
00:29:08,770 --> 00:29:10,390
No, I was holding her.

498
00:29:10,730 --> 00:29:12,790
We went down together.

499
00:29:13,290 --> 00:29:14,410
It was sort of frantic.

500
00:29:14,850 --> 00:29:17,800
Okay. Now, once you were down on the
ground, what happened?

501
00:29:18,130 --> 00:29:19,570
We started to roll around.

502
00:29:19,990 --> 00:29:21,290
She seemed to be liking it.

503
00:29:21,740 --> 00:29:25,470
Rolling around meaning sometimes you
were on top and sometimes she was on

504
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,520
I think I was on top.

505
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,790
So you didn't roll, so you stayed on
top.

506
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,220
What made you think she liked it?

507
00:29:37,140 --> 00:29:42,400
The way she was... She wasn't just
laying there.

508
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,700
She was pressing against me.

509
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:49,940
But you were on top, so weren't you
pressing into her?

510
00:29:51,610 --> 00:29:52,990
Yeah. We were having sex.

511
00:29:53,570 --> 00:29:56,270
Was that when you put your arm across
her throat?

512
00:29:56,271 --> 00:29:57,689
I wasn't trying to choke her.

513
00:29:57,690 --> 00:29:58,930
I was holding her hands.

514
00:29:58,931 --> 00:30:00,049
Her hands?

515
00:30:00,050 --> 00:30:05,249
Or one of them. So you had both her
hands and one of yours held, what, up

516
00:30:05,250 --> 00:30:06,300
her head?

517
00:30:06,530 --> 00:30:09,900
Yeah. Maybe for part of it. Which part?
The part when you entered her?

518
00:30:09,901 --> 00:30:10,869
I guess.

519
00:30:10,870 --> 00:30:12,810
Yeah. But she wasn't fighting.

520
00:30:13,030 --> 00:30:15,470
Not a little? Not even, you know,
struggle?

521
00:30:15,910 --> 00:30:19,910
Sure. Only, you know, like... Like she
was hot for it.

522
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:21,960
Robbie, did she guide you in?

523
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,099
No. That's right. Her hands are trapped
over her head. What about her legs? Did

524
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:27,150
her legs fall open?

525
00:30:27,151 --> 00:30:28,139
What do you mean?

526
00:30:28,140 --> 00:30:32,400
I mean, did you use your free hand or
your knee to push her legs apart?

527
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,420
Yeah. It was pretty passionate.

528
00:30:35,660 --> 00:30:37,580
And the frantic pace escalated? Yes.

529
00:30:37,581 --> 00:30:39,279
And she was struggling under you?

530
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,840
Yes. And she was still laughing and
yelling? No.

531
00:30:42,060 --> 00:30:44,040
It was more like a whisper.

532
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,020
You know, like women do.

533
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:49,690
What do you mean?

534
00:30:50,890 --> 00:30:57,809
say no when they mean yes you know like
it's a turn on or something so so

535
00:30:57,810 --> 00:31:02,949
she was struggling like women do when
they're turned on and she was saying no

536
00:31:02,950 --> 00:31:06,269
the way women do when they mean yes
right

537
00:31:06,270 --> 00:31:12,169
my god what

538
00:31:12,170 --> 00:31:15,490
you did it robbie you raped her

539
00:31:19,940 --> 00:31:20,990
No, I didn't.

540
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,170
Tell her what I meant.

541
00:31:23,220 --> 00:31:27,220
Hey, man, I don't know what you meant,
but I know you just described a rape.

542
00:31:28,700 --> 00:31:30,680
I must have said it wrong.

543
00:31:32,180 --> 00:31:35,540
Tell me what I said. I won't say it that
way. You mean you're lying.

544
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,960
I can't put you on the stand.

545
00:31:41,220 --> 00:31:43,080
But you said the jury needed to hear me.

546
00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:48,499
You said if I didn't testify, we could
lose. If I let you testify now, we will

547
00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:49,550
lose.

548
00:31:55,761 --> 00:31:57,629
Thank you.

549
00:31:57,630 --> 00:32:01,420
Miss Van Owen, you may call your next
witness. We have no further witnesses,

550
00:32:01,421 --> 00:32:02,129
Your Honor.

551
00:32:02,130 --> 00:32:03,370
The defense rests.

552
00:32:06,190 --> 00:32:07,410
Order in the courtroom.

553
00:32:09,110 --> 00:32:10,830
Then we'll proceed to closings.

554
00:32:15,670 --> 00:32:19,670
Natural athletes like Robbie Richards
are a breed apart.

555
00:32:20,290 --> 00:32:25,130
From very early on, their world is
defined in terms of winning and losing.

556
00:32:25,930 --> 00:32:31,450
We ask them to perform spectacular feats
and to ignore their own pain.

557
00:32:31,730 --> 00:32:37,670
But if they can't feel their own pain,
how can they possibly sense it,

558
00:32:37,710 --> 00:32:41,470
respect it in others?

559
00:32:43,010 --> 00:32:48,310
Robbie Richards is a natural athlete and
a winning public figure.

560
00:32:48,570 --> 00:32:50,070
That is the man.

561
00:32:50,620 --> 00:32:55,899
that Tara McDermott thought she was
taking a walk with. And that's why she

562
00:32:55,900 --> 00:33:01,039
so confused when she found herself
confronted with another Robbie Richards,

563
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:06,899
man who ignored her pleading and so
violently forced himself on her. No

564
00:33:06,900 --> 00:33:13,099
her confusion, a confusion not uncommon
among assault victims, delayed her

565
00:33:13,100 --> 00:33:14,420
contacting the police.

566
00:33:15,020 --> 00:33:20,099
She didn't want to believe that this all
-American boy

567
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:23,260
raped her.

568
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,980
But that's just what he did.

569
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:35,639
Robbie Richards didn't see Tyra
McDermott as a sexual partner. She was

570
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,460
opponent to be conquered.

571
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,440
And that's why he raped her.

572
00:33:41,780 --> 00:33:43,280
It's your job.

573
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:49,299
Ladies and gentlemen, to tell Robbie
Richards that this time conquering the

574
00:33:49,300 --> 00:33:52,080
opponent doesn't mean winning.

575
00:33:53,420 --> 00:33:54,470
Game.

576
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:07,219
Ladies and gentlemen, are you willing to
say beyond a reasonable doubt that

577
00:34:07,220 --> 00:34:12,340
Robbie Richards raped this young woman
because she said he did?

578
00:34:12,989 --> 00:34:17,549
Even though after the alleged rape, she
went back to a party and didn't mention

579
00:34:17,550 --> 00:34:22,209
the event to anyone, even though she
called the alleged rapist twice the next

580
00:34:22,210 --> 00:34:26,369
day and waited for him to return her
phone calls, even though she did not go

581
00:34:26,370 --> 00:34:31,050
the police or seek medical aid until
more than 12 hours had passed.

582
00:34:31,270 --> 00:34:36,448
Now, in light of this evidence, one
could conclude that the only reason

583
00:34:36,449 --> 00:34:41,070
prosecution has us here is because
Robbie Richards is a celebrity.

584
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:46,099
But if you stick to the facts, then you
must treat Robbie Richard like anyone

585
00:34:46,100 --> 00:34:47,150
else.

586
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,940
You must find reasonable doubt.

587
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:54,380
You must find him not guilty.

588
00:35:05,660 --> 00:35:06,710
Thanks.

589
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,040
Hello. Roxanne, thanks for coming.

590
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:18,640
I wasn't sure you would.

591
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:24,439
I really don't know what we have to say
to each other. I know this is

592
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,719
uncomfortable, but I wanted to clear the
air between us, and I thought this

593
00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:28,770
might be the best way.

594
00:35:29,340 --> 00:35:30,780
Coffee? Oh, sure.

595
00:35:32,100 --> 00:35:33,360
There's nothing to clear.

596
00:35:34,420 --> 00:35:35,600
I think there is.

597
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,440
Look, I admit I find Arnie very
attractive.

598
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,980
I'm aggressive, and what I set my sights
on, I usually get.

599
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:48,330
Thank you.

600
00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:57,300
But I don't always consider the feelings
of those who get in my way.

601
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,859
I know there's no reason for you to
accept my apology, but I want to give it

602
00:36:02,860 --> 00:36:03,910
anyway.

603
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:08,440
Well, that was very gracious of you. I
mean it.

604
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:10,690
I'm sorry.

605
00:36:13,860 --> 00:36:14,910
Apology accepted.

606
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:16,770
Good.

607
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,980
And I promise you, what happened between
Arnie and me will never happen again.

608
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,439
Oh, what do you mean, what happened
between you? I'm not denying I enjoyed

609
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:34,459
reduction, but to tell you the truth,
I'm just too old -fashioned to get

610
00:36:34,460 --> 00:36:35,510
involved with Arnie.

611
00:36:36,220 --> 00:36:39,890
That's smart. I could never accept an
arrangement like the two of you have.

612
00:36:40,940 --> 00:36:42,760
He told you we have an arrangement?

613
00:36:43,060 --> 00:36:45,470
Look. What are you going to do with a
guy like him?

614
00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:48,110
You'd be a fool to try to keep him on a
short leash.

615
00:36:49,140 --> 00:36:50,190
Big fool.

616
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:01,640
Excuse me, do you know where the ladies'
room is?

617
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,180
Take your time.

618
00:37:16,780 --> 00:37:19,640
J -6924, People v. Ruiz.

619
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,890
Counsel,

620
00:37:25,940 --> 00:37:26,990
step forward.

621
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:36,839
Gentlemen, after my review of the
issues, I have decided to grant the

622
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:41,569
motion to suppress all evidence that was
obtained of Mr. Ruiz's... resident on

623
00:37:41,570 --> 00:37:45,449
December the 12th. The admissibility of
this evidence is crucial to the people's

624
00:37:45,450 --> 00:37:46,500
case. I agree.

625
00:37:46,630 --> 00:37:50,409
It's got no probable cause. I move for a
dismissal, Your Honor. I'm forced to

626
00:37:50,410 --> 00:37:53,569
agree with counsel, Mr. Handelman. If
any new evidence should come to light,

627
00:37:53,570 --> 00:37:54,620
are free to refile.

628
00:37:54,890 --> 00:37:57,120
Motion is granted and the case is
dismissed.

629
00:37:58,370 --> 00:37:59,420
Your Honor?

630
00:37:59,890 --> 00:38:01,410
Yes, what now, Mr. Handelman?

631
00:38:04,770 --> 00:38:05,820
You're under arrest.

632
00:38:08,970 --> 00:38:12,769
What the hell? Your Honor, you're
charged with violating penal code 368,

633
00:38:12,770 --> 00:38:14,940
and receiving a bribe by a state
appointee.

634
00:38:20,210 --> 00:38:22,130
I have done nothing wrong.

635
00:38:22,430 --> 00:38:27,709
And whoever is responsible for this
outrage, I promise you, I will remain on

636
00:38:27,710 --> 00:38:31,670
this bench, if only to make sure that
you never practice law again.

637
00:38:33,090 --> 00:38:34,830
You have the right to remain silent.

638
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,170
We take the exchange of money and picked
up in trucker this morning.

639
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,740
They don't get much cleaner than this.

640
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:02,400
Looks like I owe you an apology.

641
00:39:20,140 --> 00:39:21,340
You might as well go home.

642
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,240
I think the jury will be out for a
while.

643
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,860
After last night, I went back to the
beach.

644
00:39:34,100 --> 00:39:39,639
I stood there, and I replayed the whole
thing in my head, thinking what you

645
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,219
would have thought if you'd have been
there, how it would have looked to you,

646
00:39:43,220 --> 00:39:48,700
those people in the jury, or anyone else
but me.

647
00:39:49,450 --> 00:39:53,190
Then I started thinking about other
girls that I've been with.

648
00:40:00,210 --> 00:40:02,200
I guess I raped that girl, Miss Van
Owen.

649
00:40:06,370 --> 00:40:08,070
I guess I raped a lot of them.

650
00:40:15,910 --> 00:40:17,530
I really didn't get so screwed up.

651
00:40:23,980 --> 00:40:26,570
But I know you're responsible for what
you've done.

652
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:28,680
I can get you names, Robbie.

653
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,320
People who can help you.

654
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,210
The jury's in.

655
00:40:34,940 --> 00:40:35,990
So soon.

656
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:39,210
What's that mean?

657
00:41:00,490 --> 00:41:02,050
Has the jury reached a verdict?

658
00:41:02,970 --> 00:41:05,470
We have, Your Honor. What say you?

659
00:41:05,810 --> 00:41:11,109
In the matter of the people versus
Robert Richards on the charge of rape,

660
00:41:11,110 --> 00:41:13,490
find the defendant not guilty.

661
00:41:17,990 --> 00:41:20,910
Order! This court is still in session.

662
00:41:21,830 --> 00:41:24,650
We thank the members of the jury for the
service.

663
00:41:24,930 --> 00:41:26,450
Now we are adjourned.

664
00:41:26,790 --> 00:41:29,550
Mr. Richards, you're free to go.

665
00:41:39,900 --> 00:41:43,800
Too bad we didn't get to hear what your
boy had to say for himself.

666
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,080
The jury seemed to be satisfied.

667
00:41:47,740 --> 00:41:54,020
That jury would have been satisfied with
an autograph and a handshake.

668
00:42:07,910 --> 00:42:12,699
Sarah, I didn't get copied on the Hudson
report.

669
00:42:12,700 --> 00:42:14,219
Oh, I'll get those out tomorrow.

670
00:42:14,220 --> 00:42:15,270
I need mine tonight.

671
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,330
I can't do it now.

672
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:18,380
Stuart's still making copies.

673
00:42:18,381 --> 00:42:21,799
Stuart's making copies, and you're going
home. I have a test tomorrow. He told

674
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,719
me. You were hired to do a job. Yeah,
and I would have finished it an hour ago

675
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:25,770
if he'd left me alone.

676
00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:29,010
You know, Stuart went out of his way to
give you this job.

677
00:42:29,011 --> 00:42:32,159
Hey, I didn't ask for it. Well, you
accepted it, and I think it's time for

678
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,899
to decide whether you want to do the
work or not. I'm trying. Try harder.

679
00:42:34,900 --> 00:42:36,660
You know, he's not paying me to work.

680
00:42:37,100 --> 00:42:39,220
He's paying me to be his instant
daughter.

681
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:41,570
Wait a minute.

682
00:42:41,980 --> 00:42:44,320
You came here looking for your father.

683
00:42:45,260 --> 00:42:50,520
You found a generous, good man who is
willing to give more than anyone I know.

684
00:42:50,700 --> 00:42:54,939
Don't you dare take this job or anything
else from him unless you're willing to

685
00:42:54,940 --> 00:42:55,990
give back.

686
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:12,490
Rox, you home?

687
00:43:15,220 --> 00:43:16,500
What are you doing?

688
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:18,250
I'm moving out.

689
00:43:18,540 --> 00:43:20,980
What? You screwed Julie Rayburn.

690
00:43:21,660 --> 00:43:24,130
Rox, for God's sake, I told you we
didn't have sex.

691
00:43:24,131 --> 00:43:27,939
Julie seemed to have a different
recollection of that evening.

692
00:43:27,940 --> 00:43:31,919
Well, then she's lying because we didn't
do a thing. I fronted for you for 12

693
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:32,970
years.

694
00:43:33,290 --> 00:43:37,329
I told Chrissy you were out of town when
I knew you were out with Lori. Wait a

695
00:43:37,330 --> 00:43:39,689
second, wait a second. You talked to
Julie? I told Lori you were in Palm

696
00:43:39,690 --> 00:43:41,089
when you were out with Annette.

697
00:43:41,090 --> 00:43:44,310
I even covered for you when you were
cheating on your wife.

698
00:43:44,570 --> 00:43:49,329
Don't play innocent with me. Your whole
life is a lie. I helped make it that

699
00:43:49,330 --> 00:43:50,380
way.

700
00:43:50,910 --> 00:43:56,090
But I told myself if we got involved, it
would be different.

701
00:43:58,050 --> 00:43:59,100
It is different.

702
00:44:00,010 --> 00:44:01,060
It is.

703
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:06,120
I've got what I need.

704
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:08,780
I'll tend for the rest.

705
00:44:46,271 --> 00:44:48,249
Can I get you something?

706
00:44:48,250 --> 00:44:49,990
No, no, thank you.

707
00:44:50,770 --> 00:44:56,110
Robbie, I brought you a list of names,
counselors, that I think can help you.

708
00:44:57,230 --> 00:44:58,570
Oh, yes, absolutely.

709
00:45:01,210 --> 00:45:02,770
Thank you so much, Miss Van Owen.

710
00:45:02,771 --> 00:45:07,309
We're going out on the road tomorrow,
but just as soon as I get back, I'll...

711
00:45:07,310 --> 00:45:09,430
out to the wild game.

712
00:45:11,630 --> 00:45:13,430
Me out to the crowd.

713
00:45:14,530 --> 00:45:15,580
Bye.

714
00:45:15,581 --> 00:45:17,109
Peanuts and fries.

715
