1
00:00:28,867 --> 00:00:31,267
( birds chirping )

2
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,133
Nat:
Mom? Dad?

3
00:00:38,467 --> 00:00:41,400
I've been trying
to reach you all day.

4
00:00:53,067 --> 00:00:54,633
She's gone.

5
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,733
State coppers just found
Barbara Sabich dead in her bed.

6
00:01:13,233 --> 00:01:14,933
Chief Justice's wife?

7
00:01:17,533 --> 00:01:20,100
We should send flowers.

8
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:21,667
We're hearing Judge Sabich

9
00:01:21,667 --> 00:01:23,567
didn't report his wife's death
for 24 hours.

10
00:01:23,567 --> 00:01:26,367
What? Channel 8 has special
dispensation from the Pope?

11
00:01:26,367 --> 00:01:27,633
Not now, Elaine.

12
00:01:27,633 --> 00:01:29,200
I was talking
to your boss.

13
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,867
Cops in the burbs are
bringing in detectives.

14
00:01:30,867 --> 00:01:33,333
Their whiskers
are twitching, Tommy.
Any comment?

15
00:01:33,333 --> 00:01:36,133
I say this with the
utmost respect, Elaine--

16
00:01:36,133 --> 00:01:37,267
get out of my office!

17
00:01:37,267 --> 00:01:38,700
Oh, come on, Tommy!

18
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:40,667
You prosecuted
Rusty Sabich
20 years ago

19
00:01:40,667 --> 00:01:42,467
for the murder of his
lover-- unsuccessfully.

20
00:01:42,467 --> 00:01:43,767
There's gonna be
questions.

21
00:01:43,767 --> 00:01:45,933
Do you suspect
foul play?!

22
00:01:49,533 --> 00:01:52,200
What is she doing,
inventing a story?

23
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,467
Is she?

24
00:01:57,100 --> 00:01:58,833
But, your honor,
if you just look at the rec--

25
00:01:58,833 --> 00:02:00,567
Mr. Molto, please, please.
You are the prosecutor,

26
00:02:00,567 --> 00:02:01,867
and you're certainly free

27
00:02:01,867 --> 00:02:03,600
to interpret the record
as you please.

28
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,133
However, there is no proof
Mr. Harnason could know

29
00:02:07,133 --> 00:02:08,867
that arsenic
wouldn't be detected

30
00:02:08,867 --> 00:02:10,167
by a routine tox screen.

31
00:02:10,167 --> 00:02:12,567
In fact,
there's no clear evidence

32
00:02:12,567 --> 00:02:15,633
how Mr. Harnason could have
even poisoned his partner.

33
00:02:15,633 --> 00:02:18,467
There are several friends
of his who have testified

34
00:02:18,467 --> 00:02:20,400
that it was the partner
who did the cooking.

35
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,833
Yes, your honor,
that is true.

36
00:02:21,833 --> 00:02:24,200
Mr. Molto, please,
you will have our decision

37
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,600
in due course.

38
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,233
Your honor,
with all due respect,

39
00:02:27,233 --> 00:02:28,767
I know that you granted
the appellant bail--

40
00:02:28,767 --> 00:02:30,933
Excuse me.
Excuse me, Mr. Molto.

41
00:02:30,933 --> 00:02:32,467
- Based on the precedent--
- Mr. Molto--

42
00:02:32,467 --> 00:02:34,267
do you have an issue, sir,

43
00:02:34,267 --> 00:02:36,433
with the court's decision
on bail?

44
00:02:38,133 --> 00:02:39,267
( man coughs )

45
00:02:40,133 --> 00:02:41,367
No, your honor.

46
00:02:41,367 --> 00:02:43,433
- Court adjourned.
- ( gavel bangs )

47
00:02:43,433 --> 00:02:45,900
Well, he says he took five
strokes off his handicap.

48
00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:48,900
- Yeah, but can he
break 100?
- ( chuckles )

49
00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:54,300
I know that look.

50
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:56,300
Chief prosecutor
Thomas Molto
wishes you to know

51
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:57,900
he'd like to eat
your internal organs
for lunch.

52
00:02:57,900 --> 00:02:59,500
Well, he's only
here in the flesh

53
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:02,533
to try to move the dial
on you and Marvina.

54
00:03:02,533 --> 00:03:04,767
You don't really expect
to convince us to reverse,

55
00:03:04,767 --> 00:03:06,067
do you, Rusty?

56
00:03:06,067 --> 00:03:08,267
They found traces of arsenic
in this man's shed.

57
00:03:08,267 --> 00:03:09,733
I don't know, George.

58
00:03:09,733 --> 00:03:11,633
It's just every once
in a while I remember

59
00:03:11,633 --> 00:03:13,500
what it was like
to sit in a courtroom

60
00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:14,867
as a criminal defendant.

61
00:03:14,867 --> 00:03:16,200
But you were innocent.

62
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,500
Tommy didn't think so.

63
00:03:17,500 --> 00:03:19,133
He probably doesn't
think so now.

64
00:03:19,133 --> 00:03:22,800
I don't think he should be
so certain about this case.

65
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,100
Woman: Surprise!

66
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:25,367
( cheers and applause )

67
00:03:25,367 --> 00:03:27,067
Rusty:
Oh, my God.

68
00:03:27,067 --> 00:03:30,100
Where did you put your
Social Security card?

69
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:32,400
I'm 60.
Don't rush me.

70
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,700
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.

71
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:36,800
- Happy birthday, Dad.
- Aww.

72
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,400
Nat.

73
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,100
60's the new 40.

74
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:41,600
Tell that to my knees.

75
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,500
Please don't recite
your journal of ills.

76
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:44,833
I assure you my
list is longer.

77
00:03:44,833 --> 00:03:47,533
Sandy, you are
the only lawyer

78
00:03:47,533 --> 00:03:50,100
I enjoy seeing
in my office.

79
00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:51,600
Marta!

80
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,567
I merit Stern and Stern!

81
00:03:53,567 --> 00:03:55,267
Happy birthday, Rusty.

82
00:03:55,267 --> 00:03:56,633
Oh, I'm honored.

83
00:03:56,633 --> 00:03:58,667
I really am.
Who put this together?

84
00:03:58,667 --> 00:04:01,233
Oh! Don't look at me.

85
00:04:01,233 --> 00:04:03,500
( cheers and applause )

86
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:05,067
( man laughs )

87
00:04:07,267 --> 00:04:09,600
Wow!
I don't know what to say.

88
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,300
Oh, please, just blow, Judge.
You have a conference in 10
minutes.

89
00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:13,633
( woman laughs )

90
00:04:15,067 --> 00:04:16,433
( cheers and applause )

91
00:04:16,433 --> 00:04:18,433
Anna made the cake.
Be sure to thank Anna.

92
00:04:18,433 --> 00:04:19,667
Bravo!

93
00:04:19,667 --> 00:04:21,433
Good Lord,
clerk of all trades.

94
00:04:21,433 --> 00:04:23,100
Isn't she in her last week
with you, Rusty?

95
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:26,133
Yes, she's off
to Ray Horgan's firm next week.

96
00:04:26,133 --> 00:04:27,467
- Hi!
- That's a pity.

97
00:04:27,467 --> 00:04:28,933
( chuckling )
Yes.

98
00:04:28,933 --> 00:04:32,067
Very eloquent for the world's
most famous pit bull.

99
00:04:32,067 --> 00:04:33,800
Why, thank you.

100
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,067
No, no, no. Just half
a piece for Rusty.

101
00:04:38,067 --> 00:04:40,233
We're having a family
birthday dinner tonight.

102
00:04:40,233 --> 00:04:41,800
Oh, okay.

103
00:05:10,267 --> 00:05:12,300
Hey, hey.

104
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:13,600
Your pills.

105
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,467
Why, thank you...

106
00:05:15,467 --> 00:05:17,333
said the lab rat.

107
00:05:17,333 --> 00:05:19,067
( chuckles )
Looks good.

108
00:05:19,067 --> 00:05:22,533
I picked up a bottle
of the Chateau Tour Maillet.

109
00:05:22,533 --> 00:05:25,667
My God, you're gonna
make a fine lawyer.

110
00:05:25,667 --> 00:05:29,067
Yeah, if I can just finish
clerkship hell.

111
00:05:29,067 --> 00:05:30,833
What's that?

112
00:05:30,833 --> 00:05:33,333
Oh, this-- this is a birthday
gift from George Mason

113
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:36,500
in honor of my "command
presence" on the bench, he says.

114
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:39,067
- ( chuckles )
- Nat: Hmm.

115
00:05:39,067 --> 00:05:40,933
Beats a knit tie.

116
00:05:40,933 --> 00:05:43,633
- ( laughs )
- ( clears throat )

117
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,200
I let Harnason out
on bail today.

118
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,733
The poisoner? Why?

119
00:05:52,733 --> 00:05:55,333
W-who's Harnason?

120
00:05:55,333 --> 00:05:57,067
He's a lawyer, gay,

121
00:05:57,067 --> 00:06:00,067
who was convicted of
murdering his lover.

122
00:06:00,067 --> 00:06:03,267
The guy's on appeal and
you granted him bail? Why?

123
00:06:03,267 --> 00:06:06,867
I was the prosecutor. I sent
him to prison decades ago

124
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:08,333
for a different offense,

125
00:06:08,333 --> 00:06:10,933
and there were elements
of doubt and...

126
00:06:10,933 --> 00:06:14,200
maybe one of them
was me.

127
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,267
I wonder if I sent a man to jail
for prejudices

128
00:06:17,267 --> 00:06:19,233
that I am now ashamed of.

129
00:06:22,167 --> 00:06:26,167
See, you hit 60, and you start
penciling your memoirs.

130
00:06:26,167 --> 00:06:27,933
( chuckles )

131
00:06:27,933 --> 00:06:29,467
Mmm.

132
00:06:29,467 --> 00:06:31,967
This cake is still great.

133
00:06:31,967 --> 00:06:34,067
Yes, Anna
worked very hard

134
00:06:34,067 --> 00:06:36,067
to put your little
party together.

135
00:06:36,067 --> 00:06:39,667
Yeah, she is a hard worker,
that's for sure.

136
00:06:39,667 --> 00:06:42,067
Everybody in my building
thinks she's way hot.

137
00:06:42,067 --> 00:06:45,933
Well, you should
ask her out, Nat.

138
00:06:45,933 --> 00:06:48,800
She's a little old for Nat,
don't you think?

139
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,667
I mean, she had-- what--
three or four careers

140
00:06:50,667 --> 00:06:52,200
before going to law school.

141
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:53,600
( scoffs )

142
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,333
That's right, Nat.
I forgot.

143
00:06:56,333 --> 00:06:59,067
Your father wants to
save her for himself.

144
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,233
( chuckles )

145
00:07:07,167 --> 00:07:09,800
Barbara,
that's not even funny.

146
00:07:52,067 --> 00:07:54,433
What?

147
00:07:54,433 --> 00:07:55,600
What's the matter?

148
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,467
Hmm?

149
00:07:59,467 --> 00:08:01,633
( sniffles )

150
00:08:01,633 --> 00:08:02,667
Hey.

151
00:08:02,667 --> 00:08:05,800
I wasn't...

152
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,933
being "funny"...

153
00:08:07,933 --> 00:08:10,600
about Anna...
earlier.

154
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,933
She has a thing for you.

155
00:08:11,933 --> 00:08:14,067
Oh, come on.
Don't be silly.

156
00:08:14,067 --> 00:08:16,933
She looks like
she's gonna pass out

157
00:08:16,933 --> 00:08:18,233
every time she sees you.

158
00:08:18,233 --> 00:08:20,833
- Barbara, you're...
- Crazy?

159
00:08:20,833 --> 00:08:22,067
- No.
- Say it.

160
00:08:22,067 --> 00:08:23,967
- No. I wouldn't.
- Say it.

161
00:08:23,967 --> 00:08:26,067
That's not what I was gonna say.
You're talking about somebody

162
00:08:26,067 --> 00:08:28,667
who's 25 years younger
than I am.

163
00:08:28,667 --> 00:08:30,667
She happens to look up
to me as a mentor.

164
00:08:30,667 --> 00:08:32,200
She's got all
these young guys

165
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,967
just panting after her
in the courthouse, all right?

166
00:08:34,967 --> 00:08:36,833
So she's gonna be
gone next week.

167
00:08:36,833 --> 00:08:38,133
It's no--
(sighs)

168
00:08:38,133 --> 00:08:39,600
That's good.
Just play the role.

169
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:40,933
Just play
the role, Rusty.

170
00:08:40,933 --> 00:08:43,233
You know, Saint Rusty.
Just too pure to notice.

171
00:08:43,233 --> 00:08:44,667
Does this mean
you're screwing her?

172
00:08:44,667 --> 00:08:46,700
- Oh, for Christ's sake.
- Hmm?

173
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:49,067
No, because we all know
that you would never do
anything like that.

174
00:08:49,067 --> 00:08:52,233
You're hardly one to throw
the past in my face.

175
00:08:52,233 --> 00:08:54,667
That was before...

176
00:08:55,933 --> 00:08:57,700
I was diagnosed.

177
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,433
I was a different
person then.

178
00:09:02,433 --> 00:09:03,767
But you, not you.

179
00:09:03,767 --> 00:09:05,100
Oh, you're the
same old Rusty.

180
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:06,833
You know, you just play

181
00:09:06,833 --> 00:09:10,867
( sing-song voice )
the mighty Chief
Appellate Judge...

182
00:09:10,867 --> 00:09:13,200
but it's all an act.
It's all an act!

183
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,467
And the person who knows
that the best is you!

184
00:09:17,467 --> 00:09:20,467
You are 60 years
old, Rusty,

185
00:09:20,467 --> 00:09:22,300
and you are still
not satisfied.

186
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:25,133
You're not satisfied with
being Captain Courageous!

187
00:09:25,133 --> 00:09:26,633
You're not satisfied...

188
00:09:26,633 --> 00:09:29,633
with your nutjob wife!

189
00:09:29,633 --> 00:09:32,800
You hate everything!

190
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,767
And most of all,

191
00:09:34,767 --> 00:09:37,733
- you hate me!
- No. No.

192
00:09:37,733 --> 00:09:38,967
- Yes, you do.
- Barbara--

193
00:09:38,967 --> 00:09:41,233
- Yes, you do.
- No, I don't.

194
00:09:42,733 --> 00:09:43,933
There.

195
00:09:46,333 --> 00:09:48,667
There you go.

196
00:09:48,667 --> 00:09:51,967
Elaine: This memorial service
for Barbara Sabich

197
00:09:51,967 --> 00:09:54,067
follows her death one week ago.

198
00:09:54,067 --> 00:09:56,433
Now, those attending
may or may not have heard,

199
00:09:56,433 --> 00:09:58,400
but the Kindle County
Coroner's office

200
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,067
has just ruled--

201
00:10:00,067 --> 00:10:02,533
as Judge Rusty Sabich
has maintained all along--

202
00:10:02,533 --> 00:10:05,567
that Mrs. Sabich's death
was due to natural causes.

203
00:10:05,567 --> 00:10:07,200
( click )

204
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,433
Yeah?

205
00:10:08,433 --> 00:10:11,533
Woman worked out every day,
looked half her age.

206
00:10:11,533 --> 00:10:14,233
How is it Barbara Sabich
dies of a heart attack?

207
00:10:14,233 --> 00:10:16,267
10 bucks says she worked out
every day of her life

208
00:10:16,267 --> 00:10:19,267
because no one in her family
lived past the age of 65.

209
00:10:19,267 --> 00:10:21,967
It's all in the genes,
my friend-- sadly.

210
00:10:21,967 --> 00:10:23,867
What's the blood chemistry?

211
00:10:23,867 --> 00:10:26,333
They did an immunoassay.
Routine on the tox.

212
00:10:26,333 --> 00:10:27,433
Anything show up?

213
00:10:27,433 --> 00:10:28,933
A lot showed up.

214
00:10:28,933 --> 00:10:31,567
This lady had a medicine cabinet
big as a steamer trunk.

215
00:10:31,567 --> 00:10:33,067
A lot of crap
for manic depression.

216
00:10:33,067 --> 00:10:34,967
Crap can cause
heart failure, right?

217
00:10:34,967 --> 00:10:36,700
Not in clinical doses.

218
00:10:36,700 --> 00:10:38,433
It's hard to measure
that stuff postmortem.

219
00:10:38,433 --> 00:10:41,767
Okay, let's just say she didn't
die of natural causes,

220
00:10:41,767 --> 00:10:44,533
which is like one chance
in 50...

221
00:10:44,533 --> 00:10:47,267
it's because she accidentally
O.D.'d on her meds.

222
00:10:47,267 --> 00:10:50,200
What's with the judge
sitting there for 24 hours?

223
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,267
Wife dead--

224
00:10:51,267 --> 00:10:53,267
not a phone call,
not a yodel.

225
00:10:53,267 --> 00:10:54,733
Who does that?

226
00:10:54,733 --> 00:10:56,333
I don't know, Jimmy.
He was in shock.

227
00:10:56,333 --> 00:10:58,567
Look, there's nothing
to investigate!

228
00:10:58,567 --> 00:11:01,067
You're looking out for me.
I appreciate it. I get it.

229
00:11:01,067 --> 00:11:04,367
I had my chance to nail
Rusty Sabich 20 years ago.

230
00:11:04,367 --> 00:11:05,767
He kicked my ass,

231
00:11:05,767 --> 00:11:07,067
he hung it out
on the town square

232
00:11:07,067 --> 00:11:08,333
for everybody
to take a poke at,

233
00:11:08,333 --> 00:11:10,500
and then he danced
away scot-free!

234
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:12,167
I got a 3-year-old.
I got a future.

235
00:11:12,167 --> 00:11:15,233
I can't afford to wear
the black hat all over again.

236
00:11:15,233 --> 00:11:16,433
Let me dig.

237
00:11:16,433 --> 00:11:17,933
No, Jimmy, come on!

238
00:11:17,933 --> 00:11:20,233
On my own.
Really careful.

239
00:11:20,233 --> 00:11:23,333
Let me be sure
this really is nothing.

240
00:11:24,967 --> 00:11:26,467
Anything leaks,

241
00:11:26,467 --> 00:11:28,833
and you're gonna write
my obit. You understand me?

242
00:11:28,833 --> 00:11:30,867
You're screwing around
with the rest of my life!

243
00:11:30,867 --> 00:11:33,333
Quiet as
Little Bo Peep.

244
00:11:33,333 --> 00:11:34,333
Yeah. Crap.

245
00:11:36,667 --> 00:11:38,200
( door opens )

246
00:11:40,567 --> 00:11:42,567
( laughter )

247
00:11:42,567 --> 00:11:45,767
( mid-tempo music plays )

248
00:11:45,767 --> 00:11:46,967
( laughs )

249
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,533
Thank you.
They're perfect.

250
00:11:50,533 --> 00:11:51,933
Perfect.

251
00:11:51,933 --> 00:11:55,367
( cellphone rings )

252
00:11:57,533 --> 00:11:58,933
( phone beeps off )

253
00:12:00,467 --> 00:12:02,067
( laughs )

254
00:12:02,067 --> 00:12:05,800
Re-- really?
For the Horgan office?

255
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,367
Uh, I'll be
right at home there.

256
00:12:07,367 --> 00:12:08,600
( laughs )

257
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,467
They're two sizes too big,
by the way, Chernoff.

258
00:12:10,467 --> 00:12:12,067
Thanks a lot.

259
00:12:12,067 --> 00:12:13,900
Leave them for
the next clerk.

260
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:16,133
He's gonna have
big shoes to fill.

261
00:12:16,133 --> 00:12:17,567
( crowd "awws" )

262
00:12:17,567 --> 00:12:20,200
It's true. Yeah.

263
00:12:21,300 --> 00:12:22,400
( laughs )

264
00:12:23,967 --> 00:12:26,367
You see. I...
( laughs )

265
00:12:26,367 --> 00:12:29,200
I read all the
self-empowerment books,
lose 10 pounds...

266
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,067
( voice breaking )
...convince yourself

267
00:12:31,067 --> 00:12:34,800
you're moving on up
to the east side,
and I still get mushy,

268
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,833
'cause I know I'm leaving the
best teacher a girl ever had.

269
00:12:37,833 --> 00:12:40,567
Now I'm gonna cry.

270
00:12:40,567 --> 00:12:43,533
( laughter )

271
00:12:43,533 --> 00:12:45,600
Can't believe I actually
have all the keys.

272
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,267
( chuckles )

273
00:12:48,267 --> 00:12:50,067
- Are you sure?
- Oh, yeah.

274
00:12:50,067 --> 00:12:51,333
I'd say you're gonna move

275
00:12:51,333 --> 00:12:54,133
two years' worth
of stuff on your own.

276
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:00,933
I'll check this.

277
00:13:04,067 --> 00:13:05,633
( machine beeps )

278
00:13:05,633 --> 00:13:07,967
Barbara: I take it
you've muted your cellphone.

279
00:13:07,967 --> 00:13:10,167
Give me a call if you're gonna
be home later than 10:00.

280
00:13:10,167 --> 00:13:12,833
- ( machine beeps )
- ( exhales sharply )

281
00:13:12,833 --> 00:13:16,933
Maybe one day, you too
will find wedded bliss.

282
00:13:16,933 --> 00:13:19,600
Done that.
I was married at 22.

283
00:13:21,133 --> 00:13:22,367
Oh, really?

284
00:13:22,367 --> 00:13:24,400
It ended quick,
and I thought,

285
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,200
I got plenty of time
to find the right man.
( chuckles )

286
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,633
Now I'm 34, the last
guy I dated is 40.

287
00:13:31,633 --> 00:13:35,067
He can't even pick up
his own laundry.

288
00:13:39,433 --> 00:13:42,600
I'll just have to, uh,
get more creative.

289
00:13:43,767 --> 00:13:45,567
Geeks? Gurus?
Bring 'em on.

290
00:13:45,567 --> 00:13:49,533
I'll just have to...
stay open.

291
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,933
Uh...

292
00:13:52,933 --> 00:13:55,300
this is for you.

293
00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:58,067
( chuckles )

294
00:13:59,667 --> 00:14:01,600
For me?

295
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:06,067
It's just
a little thing.

296
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,267
( exhales sharply )

297
00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:26,567
- Like 'em?
- ( laughs )

298
00:14:26,567 --> 00:14:28,233
( sighs )

299
00:14:38,967 --> 00:14:42,400
You mean so much
to me, Judge.

300
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,400
You're the brightest
clerk I've ever had.

301
00:14:46,867 --> 00:14:49,067
( cries )

302
00:14:49,067 --> 00:14:51,067
- Ohh.
- ( chuckling )

303
00:14:51,067 --> 00:14:53,700
- Hey.
- Aha.

304
00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:56,767
Hey, uh, here you go.

305
00:14:56,767 --> 00:14:58,600
It's all right.

306
00:15:14,067 --> 00:15:15,267
Hey...

307
00:15:17,700 --> 00:15:20,067
Anna...

308
00:15:20,067 --> 00:15:22,433
uh...

309
00:15:22,433 --> 00:15:26,233
you can't imagine how much
I would like to do this.

310
00:15:29,133 --> 00:15:31,767
Are you letting me down
easy, Judge?

311
00:15:33,367 --> 00:15:34,700
Hardly.

312
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,100
60 is a tough
age to reach,

313
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:41,767
knowing that love
is for other people.

314
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,167
I would love you, Rusty.

315
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,500
I know you'd try.

316
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:57,467
But nothing good
would come of it.

317
00:16:01,867 --> 00:16:04,333
Try, Rusty.

318
00:16:04,333 --> 00:16:06,700
Try to be happy.

319
00:17:01,100 --> 00:17:04,900
( heavy breathing )

320
00:17:25,367 --> 00:17:29,200
You didn't want
this, did you?

321
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,433
I used to feel you
resisting so hard.

322
00:17:33,433 --> 00:17:36,667
No, I didn't want it
for either of us,

323
00:17:36,667 --> 00:17:39,200
but I'm here.

324
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,467
I only think
about something once,

325
00:17:41,467 --> 00:17:43,700
and then I decide.

326
00:17:43,700 --> 00:17:46,267
It's a gift.

327
00:17:46,267 --> 00:17:50,067
We have fundamental
differences.

328
00:17:50,067 --> 00:17:52,267
( chuckles )
Age, you mean?

329
00:17:52,267 --> 00:17:54,767
You're a man,
I'm a woman.

330
00:17:54,767 --> 00:17:56,700
Don't tell me I'm young.

331
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,067
I can't leave Barbara.

332
00:18:03,067 --> 00:18:05,667
Don't say that.

333
00:18:05,667 --> 00:18:07,400
Why?

334
00:18:08,667 --> 00:18:11,667
For one thing, my son
would never forgive me.

335
00:18:13,233 --> 00:18:15,667
And for another,
my wife is ill.

336
00:18:17,367 --> 00:18:19,633
She's damaged,
and I knew that,

337
00:18:19,633 --> 00:18:21,667
and still I took her back.

338
00:18:23,067 --> 00:18:24,733
You mean after
your trial.

339
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,300
All right, okay. Let's put
that on the table.

340
00:18:29,300 --> 00:18:32,533
Right?

341
00:18:32,533 --> 00:18:36,400
After all, the last woman I had
an affair with ended up dead.

342
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:43,067
Should I be afraid
you'll kill me?

343
00:18:43,067 --> 00:18:45,067
Some people think so.

344
00:18:45,067 --> 00:18:46,600
I was a prosecutor.

345
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,533
I had an affair
with a colleague,

346
00:18:48,533 --> 00:18:50,967
and she was murdered.

347
00:18:50,967 --> 00:18:53,667
And I'll tell you what
I've rarely said to anybody,

348
00:18:53,667 --> 00:18:56,200
as a matter of principle,
for 20 years.

349
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,600
I...

350
00:18:59,467 --> 00:19:02,433
I didn't do it.

351
00:19:05,333 --> 00:19:07,067
I read all about
your trial.

352
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,167
And I believe in
your innocence...

353
00:19:11,167 --> 00:19:13,067
with all my heart.

354
00:19:20,533 --> 00:19:24,233
If Barbara weren't around,

355
00:19:24,233 --> 00:19:26,467
you'd want me
forever, right?

356
00:19:26,467 --> 00:19:28,867
( exhales sharply )
God.

357
00:19:33,067 --> 00:19:34,633
( elevator bell dings )

358
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,533
Cantu: Judge steps out
of the elevator,

359
00:20:06,533 --> 00:20:08,467
I see him and this
young chick split up--

360
00:20:08,467 --> 00:20:10,567
I mean, she's literally
tucking in her blouse...

361
00:20:10,567 --> 00:20:13,533
( chuckling )
...as she trots off.

362
00:20:13,533 --> 00:20:15,067
So the judge is catching
a nooner?

363
00:20:15,067 --> 00:20:16,333
How it looked to me.

364
00:20:16,333 --> 00:20:18,333
- Molto: When was this?
- Last year.

365
00:20:18,333 --> 00:20:20,600
I, uh...

366
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,333
I see the girl again
the next week at the desk.

367
00:20:22,333 --> 00:20:25,200
There's lots of reasons why
this woman and the judge

368
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,933
would meet at
a hotel-- lunch.

369
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,433
He's been head of security at
the Gresham a couple of years.

370
00:20:34,433 --> 00:20:35,600
Ex-cop, lazy bastard.

371
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,467
But if the guy's right...

372
00:20:37,467 --> 00:20:39,833
Gives the judge reason
to kill his wife-- I get it.

373
00:20:39,833 --> 00:20:41,300
The affair
was last year--

374
00:20:41,300 --> 00:20:43,100
too long ago to be
relevant in court.

375
00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:46,267
And by the way,
have we ever
heard of divorce?

376
00:20:46,267 --> 00:20:49,233
Maybe Rusty thought divorce
would disagree with his image.

377
00:20:49,233 --> 00:20:51,233
Maybe the girl's pregnant
and starting to show.

378
00:20:51,233 --> 00:20:53,200
You said,
"bring me something."

379
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,467
How did you come by
this information?

380
00:20:54,467 --> 00:20:56,067
Who pointed you
at Cantu?

381
00:20:56,067 --> 00:20:58,267
One of the Nearing cops
shoots pool with Cantu.

382
00:20:58,267 --> 00:20:59,567
Oh, great.
That's all we need.

383
00:20:59,567 --> 00:21:01,500
Half the Nearing station
strutting around,

384
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:04,067
asking the alumni
if they think Rusty Sabich

385
00:21:04,067 --> 00:21:06,167
had any reason
to off his wife--
that's great.

386
00:21:06,167 --> 00:21:09,800
I say it's time we pull Rusty's
bank records, phone records.

387
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,800
We can put a 99-day
letter on it.

388
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,367
We get three months
before he even knows
we're investigating.

389
00:21:14,367 --> 00:21:16,667
Boss, we're
the public prosecutor.

390
00:21:16,667 --> 00:21:19,067
You want some Nearing cop
crying in a reporter's beer

391
00:21:19,067 --> 00:21:20,800
down the road about how
they turned up some good dirt

392
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,633
on the Chief
Appellate Judge,

393
00:21:22,633 --> 00:21:24,300
but you didn't want to chance
big, bad Rusty Sabich

394
00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:25,533
whipping your ass again?

395
00:21:25,533 --> 00:21:27,200
Jimmy, you're giving
me buckshot.

396
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,967
We need one bullet.
Find me one bullet.

397
00:21:29,967 --> 00:21:32,967
If you want to shoot at the
king, you gotta kill the king.

398
00:21:37,067 --> 00:21:38,100
( horn honks )

399
00:21:51,967 --> 00:21:54,400
I just realized
Merrick's closes at 5:00,

400
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,433
and I have no idea what to get
Nat for his birthday.

401
00:21:58,433 --> 00:22:00,233
You worry about
him too much.

402
00:22:00,233 --> 00:22:02,600
I know a lot of people who went
to law school with him.

403
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,367
They all say
he's brilliant.

404
00:22:04,367 --> 00:22:07,467
Yeah, despite
everything...

405
00:22:07,467 --> 00:22:09,600
sometimes I do worry

406
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,167
that he inherited
Barbara's depression.

407
00:22:13,167 --> 00:22:16,267
I think it would have been
better if he had a sibling.

408
00:22:16,267 --> 00:22:18,300
I used to want a daughter.

409
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:20,233
Great.
Let's get busy.

410
00:22:20,233 --> 00:22:22,633
( scoffs )

411
00:22:22,633 --> 00:22:24,167
( laughs )

412
00:22:24,167 --> 00:22:28,433
But Barbara said that she
could only love one child,

413
00:22:28,433 --> 00:22:31,333
and that would be Nat.

414
00:22:31,333 --> 00:22:33,100
And I went along with it.

415
00:22:34,567 --> 00:22:37,433
Rusty...

416
00:22:37,433 --> 00:22:38,700
don't ever doubt.

417
00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:40,333
You're a great father.

418
00:22:40,333 --> 00:22:41,600
Mm.

419
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,200
You are also...

420
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,300
a great...

421
00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:50,933
man.

422
00:22:50,933 --> 00:22:53,767
Oh... Anna...

423
00:22:53,767 --> 00:22:56,600
I don't have
another condom.

424
00:22:58,333 --> 00:23:00,233
I don't care.

425
00:23:05,667 --> 00:23:07,533
( elevator bell dings )

426
00:23:21,067 --> 00:23:22,100
Judge.

427
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,067
Imagine meeting you here.

428
00:23:26,067 --> 00:23:28,667
Imagine.

429
00:23:28,667 --> 00:23:31,233
My appeal.
I just need to know.

430
00:23:31,233 --> 00:23:33,667
I can't discuss your appeal
with you, Mr. Harnason.

431
00:23:33,667 --> 00:23:36,067
- I think you know that.
- I-I can't stand it--

432
00:23:36,067 --> 00:23:38,100
not knowing if I'm going
back to prison.

433
00:23:38,100 --> 00:23:41,067
It's like--
it's like a trap door.

434
00:23:41,067 --> 00:23:41,933
Please.

435
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:51,067
You should prepare
yourself for bad news.

436
00:23:52,667 --> 00:23:54,933
No hope?

437
00:23:54,933 --> 00:23:58,567
Look... you did it,
didn't you?

438
00:23:58,567 --> 00:24:00,767
So did you,
and you're here, Judge.

439
00:24:00,767 --> 00:24:04,700
I was acquitted,
as I deserved to be.

440
00:24:04,700 --> 00:24:06,867
I'm sorry.

441
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,733
What's it like
to poison someone?

442
00:24:23,233 --> 00:24:26,067
Where was the arsenic?
Was it in the drinks?

443
00:24:28,733 --> 00:24:30,633
I bake.

444
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,267
That looks perfect.

445
00:24:49,267 --> 00:24:52,733
You think?
( scoffs ) Seems flat.

446
00:24:52,733 --> 00:24:53,733
Tell her it's perfect,
Dad.

447
00:24:53,733 --> 00:24:55,167
It's perfect.

448
00:24:55,167 --> 00:24:57,467
No, I always said,
you're the Jewish Pillsbury.

449
00:24:57,467 --> 00:24:58,733
Where are you going?

450
00:24:58,733 --> 00:25:00,567
Glennwood,
to look at an apartment.

451
00:25:00,567 --> 00:25:02,200
Well, when are you
gonna be back?

452
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,933
You shouldn't be
riding after dark.

453
00:25:03,933 --> 00:25:06,733
And you're the perfect
Jewish mother. Mwah!

454
00:25:06,733 --> 00:25:08,200
( grunts )

455
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,467
Clerkship's over.
I've got to move.

456
00:25:10,467 --> 00:25:11,800
And, no, I'm not
moving home.

457
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,233
Even if you and your bread
are irresistible.

458
00:25:15,533 --> 00:25:17,100
Wait, wait.

459
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:19,333
You need the gloves with the
little fluorescent thing on them

460
00:25:19,333 --> 00:25:22,367
if it's gonna be dark
when you come home.

461
00:25:24,533 --> 00:25:26,667
( indistinct conversation )

462
00:25:29,067 --> 00:25:31,600
Anna on phone:
You took a walk?

463
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,667
In the middle of the night?

464
00:25:33,667 --> 00:25:35,433
I couldn't sleep.

465
00:25:35,433 --> 00:25:37,367
Come here and sleep.

466
00:25:39,667 --> 00:25:41,500
Why can't you sleep?

467
00:25:41,500 --> 00:25:43,133
I don't know.

468
00:25:43,133 --> 00:25:44,767
I realized today

469
00:25:44,767 --> 00:25:47,467
Nat's heading
out into the world.

470
00:25:47,467 --> 00:25:48,800
He's really actually

471
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,333
moving on
with his life.

472
00:25:52,933 --> 00:25:54,933
Why don't you do the same?

473
00:26:15,067 --> 00:26:16,333
( computer beeps )

474
00:26:21,333 --> 00:26:22,333
( computer beeps )

475
00:26:34,567 --> 00:26:36,300
Rusty?

476
00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:37,733
Hey, George.

477
00:26:37,733 --> 00:26:40,200
Bad news,
don't you think?

478
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,467
News?

479
00:26:44,267 --> 00:26:46,100
You haven't heard?

480
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:50,867
Harnason.
The poisoner.

481
00:26:50,867 --> 00:26:52,900
No. Just Monday's
announcement

482
00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:55,300
that his appeal
was denied.

483
00:26:55,300 --> 00:26:57,667
I bumped into Lou Mertz.

484
00:26:57,667 --> 00:27:01,333
They called Harnason's lawyer
to arrange for his surrender.

485
00:27:01,333 --> 00:27:03,333
Lawyer hasn't seen
Harnason in two weeks.

486
00:27:06,467 --> 00:27:09,367
Great. He's
jumped bail.

487
00:27:09,367 --> 00:27:11,967
I thought
you should know.

488
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:26,433
Sandy:
Let me see if I can surmise.

489
00:27:27,067 --> 00:27:30,933
You were seeing...someone.

490
00:27:30,933 --> 00:27:33,067
You were followed
by Harnason.

491
00:27:33,067 --> 00:27:34,600
He caught you off guard,

492
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,433
you informed Harnason that
his appeal would be denied,

493
00:27:38,433 --> 00:27:41,800
and the man has fled
to the four winds.

494
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,067
As I said, I've done
something stupid.

495
00:27:44,067 --> 00:27:46,667
Oh, it's these things
that keep me in business.

496
00:27:46,667 --> 00:27:47,867
( clears throat )

497
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:51,867
You know, I miss
these things.

498
00:27:51,867 --> 00:27:52,867
Thank you.

499
00:27:52,867 --> 00:27:54,867
What for?

500
00:27:54,867 --> 00:27:57,067
Well, thanks for
not reminding me

501
00:27:57,067 --> 00:28:00,433
that in the 20 years since
you stood by me at trial,

502
00:28:00,433 --> 00:28:04,067
that I'm still the same fool
that I've always been.

503
00:28:04,067 --> 00:28:07,067
( scoffs )
Who am I to judge?

504
00:28:07,067 --> 00:28:09,233
With the wrong prosecutor,

505
00:28:09,233 --> 00:28:12,400
and Tommy Molto
is certainly that,

506
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,533
am I going to
end up in jail?

507
00:28:15,533 --> 00:28:17,133
If Harnason turns up,

508
00:28:17,133 --> 00:28:19,533
he's hardly
a credible witness.

509
00:28:19,533 --> 00:28:22,900
I'm not too concerned about
the criminal prosecution,

510
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:25,433
but you know,
informing an appellant

511
00:28:25,433 --> 00:28:27,300
of the court's decision
in advance...

512
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:28,633
It's a serious--

513
00:28:28,633 --> 00:28:31,533
serious violation
of judicial conduct.

514
00:28:32,833 --> 00:28:34,067
Here's my advice.

515
00:28:34,067 --> 00:28:36,433
Your transgression
is debatable.

516
00:28:36,433 --> 00:28:38,967
Say nothing
to your colleagues.

517
00:28:38,967 --> 00:28:40,833
Soldier on.

518
00:28:42,300 --> 00:28:46,133
Now, as for
this affair...

519
00:28:48,500 --> 00:28:49,867
What?

520
00:28:49,867 --> 00:28:52,067
We have to
end this-- now.

521
00:28:54,900 --> 00:28:56,433
It's only gonna
get harder.

522
00:28:58,433 --> 00:28:59,867
( sighs )

523
00:28:59,867 --> 00:29:01,700
I've tried to imagine
how I'd feel

524
00:29:01,700 --> 00:29:03,833
when you said this.

525
00:29:03,833 --> 00:29:04,900
( exhales sharply )

526
00:29:04,900 --> 00:29:07,533
And now...

527
00:29:07,533 --> 00:29:09,600
I can't believe it.

528
00:29:21,333 --> 00:29:23,900
Is it Barbara?

529
00:29:23,900 --> 00:29:26,967
You're choosing her
over me?

530
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,067
Yes.

531
00:29:32,467 --> 00:29:34,200
You pull me out of a meeting
with the deputy mayor.

532
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,067
I hope you have news
of the second coming.

533
00:29:36,067 --> 00:29:37,333
John Harnason.

534
00:29:37,333 --> 00:29:38,667
Doesn't sound
Christ-like to me.

535
00:29:38,667 --> 00:29:40,400
Harnason,
the homo poisoner.

536
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,067
Back before Barbara Sabich
died, Rusty gave him bail,
which he jumped.

537
00:29:44,067 --> 00:29:45,400
So?

538
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,733
They finally grabbed Harnason
yesterday in Coalville

539
00:29:47,733 --> 00:29:48,767
on a D.U.I.

540
00:29:48,767 --> 00:29:50,067
Oh, Jimmy,
for the love of God,

541
00:29:50,067 --> 00:29:51,367
I don't have time
for this crap.

542
00:29:51,367 --> 00:29:52,700
His lawyer is looking
for a smooth ride,

543
00:29:52,700 --> 00:29:54,133
wanted a meeting.

544
00:29:54,133 --> 00:29:57,700
About what-- based on
Harnason's good looks?

545
00:29:57,700 --> 00:30:00,467
Harnason says he was
told he was going to
lose his appeal.

546
00:30:00,467 --> 00:30:03,167
- That's why he skipped.
- "Told"? By whom?

547
00:30:03,167 --> 00:30:06,133
Judge...Rusty...Sabich.

548
00:30:06,133 --> 00:30:07,667
Jimmy, are you kidding me?

549
00:30:07,667 --> 00:30:09,133
Do you not see the angle?

550
00:30:09,133 --> 00:30:11,400
What, Harnason was
the only witness, I suppose.

551
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,900
We got at least one bellman
at the Hotel Georgia

552
00:30:13,900 --> 00:30:16,233
who saw them talk.

553
00:30:19,233 --> 00:30:21,167
Any girlfriend in sight?

554
00:30:21,167 --> 00:30:22,733
Harnason says
he's convinced

555
00:30:22,733 --> 00:30:25,200
Sabich was at the hotel
to get his pipes flushed,

556
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,833
but that's not
the third act.

557
00:30:26,833 --> 00:30:28,333
Sabich worked Harnason,

558
00:30:28,333 --> 00:30:30,900
got him to admit
he killed his pants-pal.

559
00:30:30,900 --> 00:30:32,933
And just before
Sabich walks away,

560
00:30:32,933 --> 00:30:35,333
he turns to Harnason
and says,

561
00:30:35,333 --> 00:30:37,333
"What is it like
to poison someone?"

562
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,267
Remind me again.

563
00:30:42,267 --> 00:30:43,967
How was it this weirdo
got away with it?

564
00:30:43,967 --> 00:30:45,800
Which weirdo, boss?
Our cup runneth over.

565
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,067
Harnason. He poisoned his
boyfriend with arsenic, right?

566
00:30:49,067 --> 00:30:50,933
Right. But it's not
a common poison these days.

567
00:30:50,933 --> 00:30:53,633
It's hard to get, and
it doesn't show up on
a routine tox screen.

568
00:30:53,633 --> 00:30:56,200
Sabich was one of
the judges on the case,

569
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,133
which means he knows
all about this.

570
00:30:59,133 --> 00:31:03,167
What is and what is not
on the usual tox screen.

571
00:31:03,167 --> 00:31:05,233
Full mass spectrometer
on Barbara's blood?

572
00:31:05,233 --> 00:31:06,533
Just talk to
the toxicologist.

573
00:31:06,533 --> 00:31:09,500
Come on, boss. Full mass.
We have to do it.

574
00:31:09,500 --> 00:31:12,500
Strange behavior after death.
A skirt on the side.

575
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:15,267
Questions about
killing somebody?

576
00:31:15,267 --> 00:31:17,633
We're just doing our job.
We have to do that.

577
00:31:17,633 --> 00:31:19,300
We have to.

578
00:31:19,300 --> 00:31:21,433
( siren wails in distance )

579
00:31:23,733 --> 00:31:25,300
Full mass.

580
00:31:26,933 --> 00:31:28,667
( laughter )

581
00:31:28,667 --> 00:31:31,100
( cellphone rings )

582
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:33,267
- Excuse me.
Just a minute.
- Okay.

583
00:31:35,533 --> 00:31:37,067
Anna?

584
00:31:37,067 --> 00:31:38,400
I need to see you.

585
00:31:40,567 --> 00:31:41,767
It's been months.

586
00:31:41,767 --> 00:31:44,667
Meet me at
The Matchbox
at 8:00.

587
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,067
A married man can run
into an old friend

588
00:31:50,067 --> 00:31:53,067
at a bar, Rusty.

589
00:31:53,067 --> 00:31:56,067
I need to talk to you.

590
00:31:56,067 --> 00:31:58,067
8:00. Fine.

591
00:32:01,067 --> 00:32:02,167
( phone beeps off )

592
00:32:03,067 --> 00:32:05,367
( slow jazz music plays )

593
00:32:11,300 --> 00:32:13,367
- Here you go.
- Thank you.

594
00:32:15,667 --> 00:32:17,533
Hey.

595
00:32:17,533 --> 00:32:19,100
( chuckles )

596
00:32:22,667 --> 00:32:24,800
You changed your hair.

597
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,133
Excuse me.

598
00:32:26,133 --> 00:32:28,867
- Scotch on the rocks.
- Okay.

599
00:32:28,867 --> 00:32:31,700
- Less maintenance.
( chuckles )
- I like it.

600
00:32:31,700 --> 00:32:33,300
More time to work.

601
00:32:33,300 --> 00:32:35,233
Confessions of a
high-priced slave.

602
00:32:35,233 --> 00:32:37,967
I really--
I really like it.

603
00:32:37,967 --> 00:32:40,467
Thanks.

604
00:32:40,467 --> 00:32:42,633
Now, what are you
drinking?

605
00:32:42,633 --> 00:32:44,100
Just...

606
00:32:44,100 --> 00:32:45,333
fizzy water.

607
00:32:46,567 --> 00:32:49,300
You used to be
a vodka girl.

608
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:51,200
I have something
to finish at work.

609
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,300
Oh, have you?

610
00:32:55,133 --> 00:32:57,800
Rusty, I don't know
how to say this.

611
00:33:00,133 --> 00:33:03,100
I'll just
come out with it.

612
00:33:05,133 --> 00:33:07,833
Two months ago,
I bought a condo.

613
00:33:07,833 --> 00:33:11,700
So I needed to sublet
my apartment.

614
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:15,467
By chance,
I ran into Nat.

615
00:33:15,467 --> 00:33:17,967
And he was interested...

616
00:33:17,967 --> 00:33:20,133
in the apartment.

617
00:33:20,133 --> 00:33:22,833
He didn't take it
in the end, but...

618
00:33:22,833 --> 00:33:24,533
But what?

619
00:33:26,133 --> 00:33:29,667
He wanted to see me.

620
00:33:29,667 --> 00:33:31,200
Hmm.

621
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,067
I tried t-to avoid it.

622
00:33:34,067 --> 00:33:37,267
I told him "no"
over and over.

623
00:33:37,267 --> 00:33:39,133
He kept asking why,

624
00:33:39,133 --> 00:33:40,967
to the point where,

625
00:33:40,967 --> 00:33:44,200
I guess I was seeing him...

626
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,933
and falling for him.

627
00:33:46,933 --> 00:33:48,667
Are you out of your mind?

628
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,933
I think I love him...

629
00:33:52,933 --> 00:33:54,267
and he loves me.

630
00:33:54,267 --> 00:33:57,967
I can imagine that you
want to get back at me.

631
00:33:57,967 --> 00:33:59,400
This has got to stop.

632
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,533
I tried to make this
not happen.

633
00:34:01,533 --> 00:34:04,067
I put him off for weeks.

634
00:34:04,067 --> 00:34:06,100
Does he know about us?

635
00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:09,767
Of course not.
And he never will.

636
00:34:09,767 --> 00:34:12,200
But...

637
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,667
Rusty, you don't
want me.

638
00:34:14,667 --> 00:34:16,067
No, no.

639
00:34:16,067 --> 00:34:18,933
Don't tell me
what I want.

640
00:34:18,933 --> 00:34:21,067
Don't preach...

641
00:34:21,067 --> 00:34:24,067
sincerity to me.

642
00:34:24,067 --> 00:34:26,167
Hey. You...

643
00:34:26,167 --> 00:34:28,067
you're putting
the screws to me...

644
00:34:28,067 --> 00:34:30,633
in the worst way,
right?

645
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:34,633
Get rid of Barbara, or
you'll destroy my home?

646
00:34:34,633 --> 00:34:38,167
No. This is not about you.
It's about Nat.

647
00:34:38,167 --> 00:34:40,433
I never felt
this way about--

648
00:34:43,567 --> 00:34:44,967
...anyone.

649
00:34:44,967 --> 00:34:47,333
( scoffs )
Ah, God.

650
00:34:47,333 --> 00:34:50,067
I should be a case study
at Bellevue, I know that,

651
00:34:50,067 --> 00:34:52,167
but please...

652
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,967
let us be?

653
00:34:55,967 --> 00:34:58,867
You are crazy...

654
00:34:58,867 --> 00:35:00,800
and you can go to hell.

655
00:35:03,967 --> 00:35:06,700
( car horn blares )

656
00:35:06,700 --> 00:35:08,267
( sighs )

657
00:35:11,900 --> 00:35:14,367
Dr. Stack:
A sampling of cardiac
blood shows a toxic level

658
00:35:14,367 --> 00:35:17,500
of an antidepressant
called Phenelzine.

659
00:35:17,500 --> 00:35:20,767
So Barbara Sabich did not
die of natural causes?

660
00:35:20,767 --> 00:35:22,933
I can tell you,
the symptoms reported--

661
00:35:22,933 --> 00:35:24,300
death by arrhythmia

662
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:26,067
with a possible
hypertensive reaction--

663
00:35:26,067 --> 00:35:28,833
are classically associated with
an overdose of Phenelzine.

664
00:35:28,833 --> 00:35:30,767
Could she have
O.D.'d accidentally?

665
00:35:30,767 --> 00:35:32,267
Probably not.

666
00:35:32,267 --> 00:35:35,467
The concentration
was four times
the normal dose.

667
00:35:35,467 --> 00:35:38,767
Patients who take this
drug are warned repeatedly
about its dangers.

668
00:35:38,767 --> 00:35:42,067
There's a whole list
of stuff you shouldn't eat
when you're on Phenelzine--

669
00:35:42,067 --> 00:35:45,367
red wine, aged cheeses,
any kind of dry sausage.

670
00:35:45,367 --> 00:35:48,267
They all increase
the drug's toxicity.

671
00:35:48,267 --> 00:35:49,900
So she could have
taken a pill

672
00:35:49,900 --> 00:35:52,800
and then cheated
and had a pepperoni pizza.

673
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,867
- That could have happened.
- What about suicide?

674
00:35:55,867 --> 00:35:58,067
This woman had prescriptions
for half a dozen drugs

675
00:35:58,067 --> 00:36:00,133
that would have been
a lot more reliable.

676
00:36:00,133 --> 00:36:01,600
Excuse me.

677
00:36:03,733 --> 00:36:07,933
- No note.
- So? Could still
be an accident.

678
00:36:07,933 --> 00:36:09,500
Hell, accident, murder...

679
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:11,167
she expired
on her treadmill.

680
00:36:11,167 --> 00:36:14,467
Boy, we really have Sabich by
the short hairs now, don't we?

681
00:36:18,100 --> 00:36:20,067
Hey.

682
00:36:20,067 --> 00:36:23,367
Barbara: Hey.
( breathing heavily )

683
00:36:24,267 --> 00:36:25,667
A good day?

684
00:36:25,667 --> 00:36:28,067
Will be, after three
fingers of scotch.

685
00:36:28,067 --> 00:36:31,900
Ahh. There's a
quiche in the oven.

686
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:33,833
Oh, I invited Nat

687
00:36:33,833 --> 00:36:35,733
for dinner
tomorrow night.

688
00:36:35,733 --> 00:36:38,900
- Good.
- Yeah. With his
new girlfriend.

689
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,067
He finally agreed.

690
00:36:43,067 --> 00:36:46,800
I mean, it's not like
we both don't know Anna, right?

691
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,800
I mean, I don't know what
the big deal is. ( chuckles )

692
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,267
( Yiddish accent )
You boys can barbecue!

693
00:36:51,267 --> 00:36:52,833
( chuckles )

694
00:36:52,833 --> 00:36:54,300
( normal voice )
Hey, you're gonna be

695
00:36:54,300 --> 00:36:56,200
at the drugstore
anyway, right?

696
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,467
Get my meds?
Mm-hmm.

697
00:36:59,467 --> 00:37:00,967
So can you please
pick me up

698
00:37:00,967 --> 00:37:03,567
some of that nice cabernet
and some salami

699
00:37:03,567 --> 00:37:06,467
that we love so much?
Thanks.

700
00:37:10,533 --> 00:37:13,067
This is the pharmacy's
prescription log

701
00:37:13,067 --> 00:37:14,800
from the evening before
Barbara Sabich died.

702
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,567
Lists a
prescription for her--

703
00:37:16,567 --> 00:37:18,067
was picked up
by Rusty Sabich--

704
00:37:18,067 --> 00:37:19,100
for Phenelzine.

705
00:37:19,100 --> 00:37:21,100
Show him the cash
register receipt.

706
00:37:21,100 --> 00:37:22,933
The same night...

707
00:37:22,933 --> 00:37:24,433
the judge bought
a bottle of red wine,

708
00:37:24,433 --> 00:37:26,600
pickled-herring,
Italian salami.

709
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,200
Brand:
All no-no food groups

710
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,400
that trigger a toxic reaction
with Phenelzine.

711
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,967
And by the way,
Rusty's personal computer,

712
00:37:32,967 --> 00:37:35,967
taken in evidence by the Nearing
cops after Barbara croaked,

713
00:37:35,967 --> 00:37:38,400
shows multiple searches
for Phenelzine.

714
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,800
Oh, and I have a
bonus point for you,

715
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,967
from Rusty Sabich's
bank records.

716
00:37:41,967 --> 00:37:43,367
Cashier's check.

717
00:37:43,367 --> 00:37:46,467
Made out to William Rapini,
the divorce attorney?

718
00:37:46,467 --> 00:37:48,067
Brand:
Touchdown, boss.

719
00:37:48,067 --> 00:37:49,867
Judge was seeing a lawyer
and hiding it from his wife.

720
00:37:49,867 --> 00:37:52,400
And we know Sabich
had a girlfriend.

721
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,933
Who is the girlfriend?

722
00:37:53,933 --> 00:37:57,100
She could tell us everything.
Who is she?

723
00:38:02,633 --> 00:38:04,733
( footsteps descending stairs )

724
00:38:06,167 --> 00:38:08,500
Here.
Take your Advil.

725
00:38:09,433 --> 00:38:11,133
( sighs )

726
00:38:11,133 --> 00:38:13,267
Whenever he works
in the garden (chuckles)

727
00:38:13,267 --> 00:38:16,733
- his knees
file for bankruptcy.
- ( laughs )

728
00:38:16,733 --> 00:38:18,600
So, do you have
any siblings?

729
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,200
Only child.

730
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,400
( chuckles )
Just like Nat.

731
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,067
( sniffles )

732
00:38:24,067 --> 00:38:27,967
( laughing ) It wasn't
that bad of a childhood.

733
00:38:27,967 --> 00:38:30,167
It's the onions.
It's the onions, Nat.

734
00:38:30,167 --> 00:38:32,333
Help her chop the onions.

735
00:38:32,333 --> 00:38:34,933
Rusty, did you get
the appetizers?

736
00:38:34,933 --> 00:38:36,767
Mm. For you?

737
00:38:39,467 --> 00:38:42,900
Ah, yes,
the "horse deserves."

738
00:38:42,900 --> 00:38:45,233
- ( laughs )
- Old family joke.

739
00:38:45,233 --> 00:38:47,500
Most of his jokes are old.

740
00:38:52,933 --> 00:38:54,767
My God.

741
00:38:54,767 --> 00:38:56,767
You're absolutely right.

742
00:38:56,767 --> 00:38:59,467
I need new material.
Please.

743
00:38:59,467 --> 00:39:02,067
Oh, my favorite.
Thank you. Thank you.

744
00:39:02,067 --> 00:39:03,067
Thank you.

745
00:39:03,067 --> 00:39:04,800
Barbara?

746
00:39:08,500 --> 00:39:09,967
Yes.

747
00:39:09,967 --> 00:39:11,933
But after I show Anna
Nat's room.

748
00:39:11,933 --> 00:39:13,400
- Mmm.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

749
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:14,600
Mmm.

750
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,067
Go on. I asked her
to give you the tour

751
00:39:17,067 --> 00:39:19,067
while Dad and I
grill the steaks.

752
00:39:21,133 --> 00:39:22,800
I'm coming.

753
00:39:40,467 --> 00:39:43,333
I got four clear prints
on the bottle of Phenelzine.

754
00:39:43,333 --> 00:39:46,100
I compared them
with the decedent's.

755
00:39:46,100 --> 00:39:48,333
With predictable
problems, by the way.

756
00:39:48,333 --> 00:39:50,933
Mo, please tell us
whose prints are on the vial.

757
00:39:50,933 --> 00:39:54,333
I can tell you that they didn't
come from the victim.

758
00:39:54,333 --> 00:39:58,067
All four prints on that bottle
come from somebody else.

759
00:39:58,067 --> 00:40:01,533
- And that is?
- Rusty Sabich

760
00:40:02,867 --> 00:40:05,933
How do we know Sabich
didn't take the pills

761
00:40:05,933 --> 00:40:09,233
out of the vial himself
just to help his wife?

762
00:40:09,233 --> 00:40:11,167
The scrip was
for 10 pills.

763
00:40:11,167 --> 00:40:13,533
But when the cops
inventoried the bottle,
there were only 6.

764
00:40:13,533 --> 00:40:14,933
Somebody took 4 out.

765
00:40:14,933 --> 00:40:17,000
And the only prints
are the judge's.

766
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,267
Head, heart,
and groin, boss.

767
00:40:20,267 --> 00:40:21,800
He is as smart
as a snake.

768
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,167
He knew the drug.
He had a lover.

769
00:40:24,167 --> 00:40:26,267
It's all there.

770
00:40:26,267 --> 00:40:28,767
I don't believe it.

771
00:40:28,767 --> 00:40:30,867
He did it again.

772
00:40:30,867 --> 00:40:33,867
And...court adjourned.

773
00:40:33,867 --> 00:40:35,933
The court's opinion will follow
in due course.

774
00:40:35,933 --> 00:40:38,133
- Please coordinate
with the clerk--
- Man: Move. Step aside.

775
00:40:38,133 --> 00:40:40,067
( crowd murmuring )

776
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,033
- Rozat K. Sabich?
- Yes.

777
00:40:46,033 --> 00:40:47,867
You're under arrest
for the murder

778
00:40:47,867 --> 00:40:50,133
of Barbara Bernstein Sabich.
Stand up, please.

779
00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:53,533
You have the right
to remain silent.

780
00:40:53,533 --> 00:40:55,200
You have the right to
an attorney.

781
00:41:11,067 --> 00:41:13,900
22 years after his acquittal
in the Carolyn Polhemus case,

782
00:41:14,900 --> 00:41:17,800
Judge Rusty Sabich
is again on trial

783
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,967
for murdering a woman
close to him--

784
00:41:19,967 --> 00:41:23,133
not his lover this time,
but his wife.

785
00:41:23,133 --> 00:41:25,500
Molto:
So, you went to the
bedroom and saw your mother.

786
00:41:25,500 --> 00:41:27,133
What did your father say?

787
00:41:27,133 --> 00:41:29,833
He said he had been
sitting there for 24 hours.

788
00:41:29,833 --> 00:41:31,367
He just sat there
for 24 hours.

789
00:41:31,367 --> 00:41:33,367
Did he say why he didn't
call the police?

790
00:41:33,367 --> 00:41:35,967
Dr. Stack:
She died from
an overdose of Phenelzine.

791
00:41:35,967 --> 00:41:37,900
And why was
this cause of death

792
00:41:37,900 --> 00:41:41,200
not detected in the original
autopsy, Dr. Stack?

793
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,267
Well, after 24 hours,
the tablets were undetectable

794
00:41:44,267 --> 00:41:46,733
on a routine
toxicology screening.

795
00:41:46,733 --> 00:41:48,133
Correct.

796
00:41:48,133 --> 00:41:50,067
It's Judge Sabich's
fingerprints

797
00:41:50,067 --> 00:41:52,433
on the vial of Phenelzine,
and no one else's.

798
00:41:52,433 --> 00:41:54,133
Thank you.

799
00:41:54,133 --> 00:41:56,967
It was like,
who brought that up?

800
00:41:56,967 --> 00:41:58,600
Out of nowhere
Judge Sabich asked me,

801
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,133
"what's it like
to poison someone?"

802
00:42:01,133 --> 00:42:03,400
After two weeks
of evidence from the state,

803
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,400
from the same man
who prosecuted Sabich

804
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:06,933
over two decades ago,

805
00:42:06,933 --> 00:42:09,067
tomorrow it's time
for the other side.

806
00:42:09,067 --> 00:42:11,567
And we are hearing
that the defense

807
00:42:11,567 --> 00:42:14,633
may take the unusual step
of making its first witness

808
00:42:14,633 --> 00:42:16,800
the defendant himself.

809
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,933
Sandy:
You understand, Rusty,

810
00:42:18,933 --> 00:42:20,900
that the Constitution
of the United States

811
00:42:20,900 --> 00:42:24,267
protects you from being forced
to testify in your trial?

812
00:42:24,267 --> 00:42:25,667
I understand that.

813
00:42:25,667 --> 00:42:28,200
And yet here you are.

814
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,367
You've heard the parade
of witnesses

815
00:42:31,367 --> 00:42:34,533
for the prosecution.

816
00:42:34,533 --> 00:42:36,633
And you understand
that you are accused

817
00:42:36,633 --> 00:42:38,600
of murdering your wife.

818
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,333
Yes, I do
understand that.

819
00:42:40,333 --> 00:42:44,267
And did you do this, Rusty?
Murder your wife?

820
00:42:44,267 --> 00:42:46,300
No.

821
00:42:50,667 --> 00:42:51,867
Mr. Molto?

822
00:42:51,867 --> 00:42:53,800
Are you gonna ask
about the girl?

823
00:42:55,833 --> 00:42:57,200
Your honor,

824
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,800
may we be heard
before I begin?

825
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:01,667
What's he doing?

826
00:43:01,667 --> 00:43:04,067
Resequester the jury.

827
00:43:04,067 --> 00:43:06,133
Court officer:
Jurors, this way, please.

828
00:43:08,067 --> 00:43:10,967
( indistinct whispering )

829
00:43:16,733 --> 00:43:18,133
Your honor...

830
00:43:18,133 --> 00:43:21,267
since the defendant
has chosen to testify,

831
00:43:21,267 --> 00:43:23,633
I would like to ask him
about the affair he had

832
00:43:23,633 --> 00:43:25,067
in the prior year.

833
00:43:25,067 --> 00:43:27,900
Objection. Your honor,
this was dealt with

834
00:43:27,900 --> 00:43:30,133
in our pretrial motion,
which you granted.

835
00:43:30,133 --> 00:43:32,933
Now, regardless of
the state's iffy evidence

836
00:43:32,933 --> 00:43:36,067
of hotel sightings,
any alleged affair ceased

837
00:43:36,067 --> 00:43:38,400
months before
Barbara Sabich's death.

838
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:40,600
You've already ruled
any proof irrelevant.

839
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,067
- It shows motive, your honor.
- Judge Malek: How?

840
00:43:43,067 --> 00:43:45,400
How? Because he may have
wanted to be with this woman.

841
00:43:51,067 --> 00:43:52,300
Now.

842
00:43:52,300 --> 00:43:53,867
I'm sorry?

843
00:43:53,867 --> 00:43:58,067
Ask now, with no
jury present. Ask.

844
00:44:01,667 --> 00:44:03,633
Judge Sabich,
did you have an affair

845
00:44:03,633 --> 00:44:06,467
in the spring of 2010?

846
00:44:06,467 --> 00:44:08,800
You know, it's better
if I ask, Mr. Molto.

847
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,733
It'll be faster.

848
00:44:10,733 --> 00:44:13,133
Judge Sabich,
when your wife died,

849
00:44:13,133 --> 00:44:16,067
were you having an affair,
a romance, whatever--

850
00:44:16,067 --> 00:44:19,567
were you involved
with another woman?

851
00:44:19,567 --> 00:44:22,467
No, I wasn't.

852
00:44:22,467 --> 00:44:24,567
And going back, say,
three months before her death,

853
00:44:24,567 --> 00:44:26,300
any affair?

854
00:44:26,300 --> 00:44:28,067
No.

855
00:44:28,067 --> 00:44:30,467
Did you hope to see
any woman romantically?

856
00:44:30,467 --> 00:44:32,833
No, no, Mr. Molto.
Not in America.

857
00:44:32,833 --> 00:44:35,133
No prison for
what's in a man's head.

858
00:44:35,133 --> 00:44:37,200
( laughter )
Same ruling, Mr. Molto.

859
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,900
But, your honor,
the possibility exists--

860
00:44:39,900 --> 00:44:41,933
Irrelevant, Mr. Molto!

861
00:44:41,933 --> 00:44:44,900
Nothing about affairs.
That's my ruling.

862
00:44:46,733 --> 00:44:48,333
( quietly )
Yes, your honor.

863
00:44:53,933 --> 00:44:57,333
A good morning.
A very good morning.

864
00:44:57,333 --> 00:44:59,600
Oh, by the way,
why don't you join us?

865
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,500
My office has made reservations
for lunch across the street.

866
00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:03,733
Sounds good.

867
00:45:03,733 --> 00:45:08,067
I can't stay.
I have work.

868
00:45:08,067 --> 00:45:10,100
Really? I thought
you had the day off.

869
00:45:10,100 --> 00:45:11,833
I can't stay here.

870
00:45:11,833 --> 00:45:15,100
I'm sorry.
Good luck, Rusty.

871
00:45:17,467 --> 00:45:19,467
Uh, Nat...

872
00:45:19,467 --> 00:45:22,067
can we talk for a minute?

873
00:45:22,067 --> 00:45:23,400
We'll meet you
over there.

874
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:24,867
Of course.

875
00:45:32,567 --> 00:45:34,667
Nat...

876
00:45:34,667 --> 00:45:36,933
you can't listen to the
prosecution allude to an affair

877
00:45:36,933 --> 00:45:38,467
and not wonder...

878
00:45:38,467 --> 00:45:40,900
Yeah, well, just tell me
that it's bullshit...

879
00:45:40,900 --> 00:45:42,800
Dad.

880
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:43,967
That it was just
their tactic.

881
00:45:43,967 --> 00:45:46,267
Last year, I was
seeing someone else.

882
00:45:50,133 --> 00:45:52,900
- Did mom know?
- I never told her.

883
00:45:52,900 --> 00:45:55,067
I won't even try
to explain.

884
00:45:55,067 --> 00:45:57,100
- This is unbelievable.
- Nat...

885
00:45:57,100 --> 00:45:59,067
I mean, God,
who was it?

886
00:46:01,500 --> 00:46:04,833
Really doesn't matter.
She was younger.

887
00:46:04,833 --> 00:46:06,667
I guess I was
chasing my youth.

888
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,067
Is it anyone I know?

889
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,200
It was...

890
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,067
over and done long before
your mother died.

891
00:46:20,867 --> 00:46:22,567
( elevator bell dings )

892
00:46:39,933 --> 00:46:42,200
( indistinct conversations )

893
00:46:44,633 --> 00:46:47,733
- Are you familiar with
a drug called Phenelzine?
- I am.

894
00:46:47,733 --> 00:46:51,133
Phenelzine is an antidepressant
that my wife took

895
00:46:51,133 --> 00:46:52,533
for many years.

896
00:46:52,533 --> 00:46:54,133
Now, during the testimony

897
00:46:54,133 --> 00:46:56,100
of our computer expert
last week,

898
00:46:56,100 --> 00:46:58,467
he described
a forensic examination

899
00:46:58,467 --> 00:47:01,333
of your personal computer
after it was removed

900
00:47:01,333 --> 00:47:03,067
by police from your house.

901
00:47:03,067 --> 00:47:04,300
Do you recall that?

902
00:47:04,300 --> 00:47:07,067
I recall my computer
was seized, yes.

903
00:47:07,067 --> 00:47:10,933
And you recall
that on the cache

904
00:47:10,933 --> 00:47:12,367
of your computer's
web browser,

905
00:47:12,367 --> 00:47:15,567
in a matter of days
before your wife's death,

906
00:47:15,567 --> 00:47:19,133
there were repeated searches
on two different sites

907
00:47:19,133 --> 00:47:21,433
that describe Phenelzine--
do you recall that?

908
00:47:21,433 --> 00:47:23,567
I recall hearing
that testimony, yes.

909
00:47:23,567 --> 00:47:25,100
Let's look at
the pages visited.

910
00:47:25,100 --> 00:47:28,567
People's exhibit 47,
please.

911
00:47:28,567 --> 00:47:29,833
( sighs )

912
00:47:29,833 --> 00:47:32,167
"Phenelzine is
an M.A.O. inhibitor."

913
00:47:32,167 --> 00:47:33,667
Do you recall
reading that?

914
00:47:33,667 --> 00:47:36,467
I do not,
but I take your point.

915
00:47:36,467 --> 00:47:39,067
People's exhibit 41,
please.

916
00:47:39,067 --> 00:47:41,133
Now, as you can
plainly see

917
00:47:41,133 --> 00:47:43,100
from Mr. John Harnason's
trial transcript,

918
00:47:43,100 --> 00:47:45,067
which you
personally reviewed,

919
00:47:45,067 --> 00:47:47,633
it clearly states
that in addition

920
00:47:47,633 --> 00:47:50,633
to arsenic,
M.A.O. inhibitors

921
00:47:50,633 --> 00:47:52,767
are not tested for.

922
00:47:52,767 --> 00:47:55,067
So you knew, Judge, that
an overdose of Phenelzine

923
00:47:55,067 --> 00:47:58,233
could not be detected.
Right?

924
00:47:58,233 --> 00:48:00,700
Just like the arsenic
used by Mr. Harnason

925
00:48:00,700 --> 00:48:02,100
to kill his lover.

926
00:48:02,100 --> 00:48:05,233
- Objection. Argumentative.
- Sustained.

927
00:48:05,233 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaking of your
personal home computer

928
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,167
and the forensic evidence
introduced, Judge,

929
00:48:10,167 --> 00:48:11,967
you recall
that several messages

930
00:48:11,967 --> 00:48:14,967
from your personal
e-mail account were deleted

931
00:48:14,967 --> 00:48:16,667
the day before
your wife died?

932
00:48:16,667 --> 00:48:18,067
I recall that.

933
00:48:18,067 --> 00:48:21,233
Not just deleted, in fact,
but electronically shredded?

934
00:48:21,233 --> 00:48:23,067
I do remember
that, yes.

935
00:48:23,067 --> 00:48:26,233
- Did you do that, sir?
- I did not.

936
00:48:28,067 --> 00:48:30,633
Anyone else
live in your house?

937
00:48:30,633 --> 00:48:31,733
My wife.

938
00:48:31,733 --> 00:48:33,767
Are you suggesting
that your wife

939
00:48:33,767 --> 00:48:36,067
went into your personal
e-mail account

940
00:48:36,067 --> 00:48:38,933
and deleted
those messages?

941
00:48:38,933 --> 00:48:40,200
Possibly.

942
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,067
Did your wife have
her own computer?

943
00:48:42,067 --> 00:48:43,433
She did.

944
00:48:43,433 --> 00:48:45,433
Did she routinely use
your computer?

945
00:48:45,433 --> 00:48:47,367
Not routinely.
It was outside
our bedroom,

946
00:48:47,367 --> 00:48:49,300
and occasionally she'd tell me
and use it for a second.

947
00:48:49,300 --> 00:48:52,700
Did she ask you in
the week before she died

948
00:48:52,700 --> 00:48:53,833
to use your computer?

949
00:48:53,833 --> 00:48:55,333
I don't remember that.

950
00:48:55,333 --> 00:48:56,933
Well, then, Judge,

951
00:48:56,933 --> 00:48:58,967
your testimony doesn't make
a whole lot of sense,

952
00:48:58,967 --> 00:49:00,533
now, does it?

953
00:49:00,533 --> 00:49:03,667
Frankly, Mr. Molto,
none of this makes sense.

954
00:49:03,667 --> 00:49:06,700
You suggested
that I shredded e-mails

955
00:49:06,700 --> 00:49:08,733
so they couldn't be
reconstructed,

956
00:49:08,733 --> 00:49:09,933
but at the same time,

957
00:49:09,933 --> 00:49:11,700
I failed to remove
the searches for Phenelzine.

958
00:49:11,700 --> 00:49:13,067
And on top of that,

959
00:49:13,067 --> 00:49:15,900
I left my fingerprints,
foolishly, on the pill bottle.

960
00:49:15,900 --> 00:49:17,700
So your argument does sound

961
00:49:17,700 --> 00:49:19,400
desperate and
ridiculous, yes.

962
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:20,833
Move to strike,
your honor.

963
00:49:20,833 --> 00:49:23,067
The defense will get
their closing argument.

964
00:49:23,067 --> 00:49:24,533
Sustained.

965
00:49:24,533 --> 00:49:26,600
You know what?
You brought up the pill bottle.

966
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,833
Let's talk
about the pill bottle.

967
00:49:28,833 --> 00:49:32,767
Now, we know from the testimony
of your wife's doctor

968
00:49:32,767 --> 00:49:35,700
that Mrs. Sabich
was warned repeatedly

969
00:49:35,700 --> 00:49:39,600
about certain foods to avoid
while taking Phenelzine--

970
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,200
foods like wine
and cheese and salami.

971
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:43,733
And in fact,

972
00:49:43,733 --> 00:49:46,533
the doctor testified
that he warned you, as well.

973
00:49:46,533 --> 00:49:49,300
Do you remember your wife's
physician warning you, Judge?

974
00:49:49,300 --> 00:49:50,767
It's vague,
but I think so.

975
00:49:50,767 --> 00:49:53,933
And so you want us to accept
that your wife asked you

976
00:49:53,933 --> 00:49:56,767
to get the wine and
the cheese and the salami,

977
00:49:56,767 --> 00:49:59,467
knowing that these were foods
she was ordered to avoid,

978
00:49:59,467 --> 00:50:00,800
and what happened?

979
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,700
She forgot. And then
she just drank the wine?

980
00:50:03,700 --> 00:50:06,267
I did not see Barbara
drink the wine.

981
00:50:06,267 --> 00:50:08,900
Then Nat and I
went outside.

982
00:50:08,900 --> 00:50:10,433
I don't know
who drank what.

983
00:50:10,433 --> 00:50:12,367
But let's just be
clear here, Judge.

984
00:50:12,367 --> 00:50:14,500
Your wife was
taking Phenelzine.

985
00:50:14,500 --> 00:50:15,800
Does it make sense to you

986
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:17,400
that she would send
you to the store

987
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,567
for a list of items
that would kill her,

988
00:50:19,567 --> 00:50:21,300
that she intended to eat?

989
00:50:21,300 --> 00:50:23,567
Are you asking me to guess?
I would say "yes."

990
00:50:23,567 --> 00:50:24,833
Like most people on meds,

991
00:50:24,833 --> 00:50:26,300
Barbara knew how much
she could cheat

992
00:50:26,300 --> 00:50:28,267
without having
an adverse reaction.

993
00:50:28,267 --> 00:50:31,167
Yes, I'd have to
bet on that, yes.

994
00:50:34,100 --> 00:50:36,400
Thank you, Judge.

995
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:37,967
But if your wife...

996
00:50:37,967 --> 00:50:41,800
didn't drink wine...

997
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:43,700
or eat beyond her limit,

998
00:50:43,700 --> 00:50:47,567
then she could not
have died accidentally.

999
00:50:49,700 --> 00:50:52,133
Could she?

1000
00:50:52,133 --> 00:50:53,700
It had to be murder.

1001
00:50:53,700 --> 00:50:54,833
Objection!

1002
00:50:54,833 --> 00:50:57,767
- Didn't it?
- ( people murmuring )

1003
00:50:57,767 --> 00:50:59,033
( gavel bangs )

1004
00:50:59,033 --> 00:51:01,633
Order. Order!

1005
00:51:05,467 --> 00:51:07,467
Nothing further,
your honor.

1006
00:51:12,500 --> 00:51:14,600
That stuff about my dad
having an affair...

1007
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,567
- It's irrelevant.
- It's true.
He admitted it.

1008
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:22,700
It makes me sick.

1009
00:51:22,700 --> 00:51:25,267
Why didn't he tell me
a long time ago?

1010
00:51:25,267 --> 00:51:27,900
I'm sure he was
embarrassed.

1011
00:51:27,900 --> 00:51:30,600
I can't help thinking
that he could be guilty.

1012
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,300
- He's not guilty.
- How do you know?

1013
00:51:32,300 --> 00:51:33,633
I know him.

1014
00:51:33,633 --> 00:51:35,833
Not as well as you
think, apparently.

1015
00:51:38,767 --> 00:51:41,167
He's just
so damned selfish.

1016
00:51:41,167 --> 00:51:43,900
People aren't
perfect, Nat.

1017
00:51:45,667 --> 00:51:48,533
I didn't want to
fall in love with you.

1018
00:51:48,533 --> 00:51:50,533
It was just
wrong for me.

1019
00:51:50,533 --> 00:51:54,400
Wrong time, wrong guy
for a million reasons.

1020
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,767
Strange stuff
happens with love.

1021
00:51:57,767 --> 00:52:00,633
You've told me some
pretty bizarre stories

1022
00:52:00,633 --> 00:52:02,867
from when
you were younger.

1023
00:52:02,867 --> 00:52:04,267
( both chuckle )

1024
00:52:04,267 --> 00:52:07,300
Yeah, I was screwed up
for a long time.

1025
00:52:07,300 --> 00:52:10,667
Maybe your dad was
feeling screwed up.

1026
00:52:12,067 --> 00:52:14,233
Maybe the girl
was, too.

1027
00:52:15,567 --> 00:52:17,767
You don't know who
it was, do you?

1028
00:52:23,067 --> 00:52:26,967
My mom seemed to think that
you had some thing for my dad.

1029
00:52:26,967 --> 00:52:28,533
Or him for you.

1030
00:52:28,533 --> 00:52:31,467
( both chuckle )

1031
00:52:31,467 --> 00:52:34,600
She thought
some strange stuff.

1032
00:52:36,733 --> 00:52:39,767
Whatever could
make her unhappy.

1033
00:52:42,067 --> 00:52:43,733
You want to stop
for sushi?

1034
00:52:45,867 --> 00:52:48,567
Judge Sabich, apart
from the crime of homicide,

1035
00:52:48,567 --> 00:52:51,233
this trial has revealed
various possible explanations

1036
00:52:51,233 --> 00:52:53,167
for the death
of Mrs. Sabich--

1037
00:52:53,167 --> 00:52:56,233
natural causes,
accidental overdose,

1038
00:52:56,233 --> 00:52:57,567
drug interaction.

1039
00:52:57,567 --> 00:52:59,433
All of which
begs the question,

1040
00:52:59,433 --> 00:53:02,300
how do you believe
your wife died?

1041
00:53:02,300 --> 00:53:04,500
I believe my wife
killed herself

1042
00:53:04,500 --> 00:53:07,067
with a deliberate
overdose of Phenelzine.

1043
00:53:07,067 --> 00:53:08,700
( murmuring )

1044
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,333
There was no note.

1045
00:53:14,333 --> 00:53:16,633
No, I believe that
Barbara wanted her death

1046
00:53:16,633 --> 00:53:19,633
to look like it was
of natural causes.

1047
00:53:19,633 --> 00:53:21,600
Just as the coroner
first ruled.

1048
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,800
- Objection.
- Sustained.

1049
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:25,067
( sighs )

1050
00:53:25,067 --> 00:53:28,233
And why would Mrs. Sabich
want to obscure the fact

1051
00:53:28,233 --> 00:53:30,800
that she took
her own life?

1052
00:53:31,900 --> 00:53:33,700
For my son's sake.

1053
00:53:33,700 --> 00:53:35,900
My wife had
psychiatric problems,

1054
00:53:35,900 --> 00:53:39,567
but she was always
very protective of him.

1055
00:53:39,567 --> 00:53:42,567
She'd want to limit
his anguish.

1056
00:53:43,933 --> 00:53:46,833
Did your wife have a history
of suicide attempts?

1057
00:53:46,833 --> 00:53:48,900
Yes.

1058
00:53:48,900 --> 00:53:50,800
When we were separated
20 years ago--

1059
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,600
Move to strike, your honor.

1060
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,433
If the attempt took place
while they were separated,

1061
00:53:54,433 --> 00:53:58,367
Judge Sabich cannot
be testifying from
personal knowledge.

1062
00:53:58,367 --> 00:53:59,633
Sustained.

1063
00:53:59,633 --> 00:54:02,833
Well, we will have to
call another witness.

1064
00:54:06,333 --> 00:54:08,600
I was nine.

1065
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,600
I cut my elbow.

1066
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,867
I ran home to my mother.

1067
00:54:12,867 --> 00:54:15,500
My father and she
weren't together at the time.

1068
00:54:15,500 --> 00:54:17,833
It was right after...

1069
00:54:17,833 --> 00:54:19,900
um...

1070
00:54:19,900 --> 00:54:23,567
I found my mother
in the bathroom.

1071
00:54:23,567 --> 00:54:26,633
In the tub.

1072
00:54:26,633 --> 00:54:30,200
She had this small
lamp in her hand.

1073
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:32,533
It was plugged in
across the room.

1074
00:54:36,100 --> 00:54:38,133
And she saw me.

1075
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,633
It took her forever
to put the lamp down.

1076
00:54:45,967 --> 00:54:48,733
And she said...

1077
00:54:48,733 --> 00:54:50,067
( voice breaking )
..."it's okay.

1078
00:54:50,067 --> 00:54:51,967
I was just going to read."

1079
00:54:55,567 --> 00:54:57,700
It wasn't okay.

1080
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,700
Judge, on whose computer
have we established

1081
00:55:04,700 --> 00:55:07,067
that searches of Phenelzine
took place?

1082
00:55:07,067 --> 00:55:08,567
Mine.

1083
00:55:08,567 --> 00:55:10,867
Any searches of Phenelzine
on your wife's computer?

1084
00:55:10,867 --> 00:55:13,300
None, according to
testimony.

1085
00:55:13,300 --> 00:55:16,067
Now, since that
first episode,

1086
00:55:16,067 --> 00:55:18,133
all the way to,
say, last year--

1087
00:55:18,133 --> 00:55:19,633
that's what, 20 years--

1088
00:55:19,633 --> 00:55:22,267
your wife made no further
attempts on her life, correct?

1089
00:55:22,267 --> 00:55:24,200
Not to my knowledge.

1090
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,700
Well, then, Judge,

1091
00:55:26,700 --> 00:55:30,467
had anything changed in
the past year with Mrs. Sabich,

1092
00:55:30,467 --> 00:55:32,467
as far as you know?

1093
00:55:32,467 --> 00:55:34,067
Yes, Mr. Molto.

1094
00:55:35,633 --> 00:55:37,633
There had been
a significant change.

1095
00:55:42,333 --> 00:55:43,800
Marta:
So, Ms. Belanquez,

1096
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:46,067
you were seated at
your usual desk at the bank,

1097
00:55:46,067 --> 00:55:48,067
having a conversation
with a customer

1098
00:55:48,067 --> 00:55:50,967
who identified herself to you
as Mrs. Barbara Sabich,

1099
00:55:50,967 --> 00:55:52,233
is that correct?

1100
00:55:52,233 --> 00:55:53,500
I did.

1101
00:55:53,500 --> 00:55:54,767
And just to verify,

1102
00:55:54,767 --> 00:55:56,833
that was September
the 28th, yes?

1103
00:55:56,833 --> 00:55:57,833
Yes.

1104
00:55:57,833 --> 00:56:00,833
The day before
Barbara Sabich died.

1105
00:56:00,833 --> 00:56:03,333
Did Mrs. Sabich bring anything
with her to the bank?

1106
00:56:03,333 --> 00:56:07,200
She had a receipt
from a lawyer's office.

1107
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,767
Calling your attention to
defense exhibit 24, your honor.

1108
00:56:10,767 --> 00:56:13,567
This is a copy
of a paid receipt

1109
00:56:13,567 --> 00:56:16,067
for the services
of Mann and Rapini,

1110
00:56:16,067 --> 00:56:18,567
attorneys who practice
matrimonial law,

1111
00:56:18,567 --> 00:56:22,067
made out
to Rozat K. Sabich.

1112
00:56:22,067 --> 00:56:24,100
I don't get it.
How does it help them

1113
00:56:24,100 --> 00:56:26,067
to show their client
looked into divorce?

1114
00:56:26,067 --> 00:56:28,300
Rusty paid the lawyer
with a cashier's check.

1115
00:56:28,300 --> 00:56:29,700
How's his wife even know?

1116
00:56:29,700 --> 00:56:31,633
So, what happened next,
Ms. Belanquez?

1117
00:56:31,633 --> 00:56:33,900
I got the impression
from Mrs. Sabich

1118
00:56:33,900 --> 00:56:37,533
that this receipt had been
mailed to her home by mistake.

1119
00:56:37,533 --> 00:56:40,067
Objection--
hearsay.

1120
00:56:40,067 --> 00:56:41,067
Sustained.

1121
00:56:41,067 --> 00:56:42,833
After presenting you
with the receipt,

1122
00:56:42,833 --> 00:56:44,433
what did Mrs. Sabich
ask for?

1123
00:56:44,433 --> 00:56:45,933
She wanted to find out

1124
00:56:45,933 --> 00:56:47,833
if the check number
on the lawyer's receipt

1125
00:56:47,833 --> 00:56:49,967
matched her joint account
with her husband.

1126
00:56:49,967 --> 00:56:52,433
She couldn't find any record
of it on her statement.

1127
00:56:52,433 --> 00:56:53,733
And how did you respond?

1128
00:56:53,733 --> 00:56:54,967
Well, I had to ask
my manager.

1129
00:56:54,967 --> 00:56:56,833
About what,
Ms. Belanquez?

1130
00:56:56,833 --> 00:56:59,267
We're very careful
about disclosure.

1131
00:56:59,267 --> 00:57:01,467
I was just needing
confirmation on policy.

1132
00:57:01,467 --> 00:57:02,900
If Mrs. Sabich
was on the account,

1133
00:57:02,900 --> 00:57:04,700
then she was entitled
to any records.

1134
00:57:04,700 --> 00:57:06,733
And so did you share
any information

1135
00:57:06,733 --> 00:57:08,833
regarding this joint account
with Mrs. Sabich?

1136
00:57:08,833 --> 00:57:12,067
Yes, I gave her a copy
of the cashier's check

1137
00:57:12,067 --> 00:57:16,067
that her husband bought
with cash from his ATM card...

1138
00:57:16,067 --> 00:57:17,800
to pay for this law firm.

1139
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,167
Thank you,
Ms. Belanquez.

1140
00:57:19,167 --> 00:57:21,633
No further questions,
your honor.

1141
00:57:21,633 --> 00:57:23,167
( murmuring )

1142
00:57:24,767 --> 00:57:28,633
So, the wife knew Rusty
was looking into divorce.

1143
00:57:28,633 --> 00:57:30,433
Barbara and Rusty
fought like sumos.

1144
00:57:30,433 --> 00:57:31,967
He ended up icing her!

1145
00:57:31,967 --> 00:57:35,767
So what if the defense proved
she knew he went to a lawyer?

1146
00:57:35,767 --> 00:57:37,067
We're not losing
this damn case.

1147
00:57:37,067 --> 00:57:39,733
It was uphill
from the start, Jimmy.

1148
00:57:39,733 --> 00:57:43,133
There's a flaw.

1149
00:57:43,133 --> 00:57:44,900
Why does she wipe
his computer?

1150
00:57:44,900 --> 00:57:47,067
If she's planning to kill
herself quietly,

1151
00:57:47,067 --> 00:57:49,633
why leave tracks behind
by deleting his e-mails?

1152
00:57:49,633 --> 00:57:51,300
So Rusty will know.

1153
00:57:51,300 --> 00:57:53,767
That's maybe why she searched
the Phenelzine

1154
00:57:53,767 --> 00:57:57,167
on his computer,
so he'll realize how she did it.

1155
00:57:57,167 --> 00:57:59,300
The kid,
the rest of the world,

1156
00:57:59,300 --> 00:58:01,700
they'll all think she died
of her bumpy heartbeat.

1157
00:58:01,700 --> 00:58:04,167
But Rusty will rot
with guilt.

1158
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:12,967
We are
not going to lose!

1159
00:58:15,733 --> 00:58:19,433
So, when it came to using
his home computer,

1160
00:58:19,433 --> 00:58:21,633
your father was a novice.

1161
00:58:22,500 --> 00:58:23,833
What about you, Nat?

1162
00:58:23,833 --> 00:58:25,567
Would you say that you
were computer literate?

1163
00:58:25,567 --> 00:58:26,767
I'd say yes.

1164
00:58:26,767 --> 00:58:28,133
And what about
your mother?

1165
00:58:28,133 --> 00:58:31,500
She was like a genius.
She was a Ph.D. in math.

1166
00:58:31,500 --> 00:58:35,100
Her colleagues would call her
to answer computer questions.

1167
00:58:35,100 --> 00:58:38,267
Did you know the password
on your father's computer?

1168
00:58:38,267 --> 00:58:39,633
Yes.

1169
00:58:39,633 --> 00:58:41,967
The worst kept secret
in the family.

1170
00:58:41,967 --> 00:58:44,600
It's "Rohzat,"
but with an "h."

1171
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:48,133
And so, would your mother
also have known the password?

1172
00:58:48,133 --> 00:58:49,333
Absolutely.

1173
00:58:49,333 --> 00:58:52,633
He would ask her
when he couldn't remember.

1174
00:58:54,500 --> 00:58:56,233
( theme plays )

1175
00:58:56,233 --> 00:58:57,800
Now, Nat,

1176
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,167
you knew that I was going
to ask you to demonstrate

1177
00:59:00,167 --> 00:59:02,133
your father's computer
here today, yes?

1178
00:59:02,133 --> 00:59:05,233
But did you know
in what way?

1179
00:59:05,233 --> 00:59:06,567
I do not.

1180
00:59:06,567 --> 00:59:07,967
I would like you, please,

1181
00:59:07,967 --> 00:59:09,967
to enter the password
"Rohzat,"

1182
00:59:09,967 --> 00:59:12,100
and if that works,

1183
00:59:12,100 --> 00:59:13,867
try and download
the shredding software

1184
00:59:13,867 --> 00:59:15,867
the prosecution
mentioned earlier.

1185
00:59:15,867 --> 00:59:18,233
No, there's no point.
Maybe it won't work.

1186
00:59:21,967 --> 00:59:24,067
( festive music plays )

1187
00:59:28,767 --> 00:59:31,167
( murmuring )

1188
00:59:40,767 --> 00:59:42,800
( pop )

1189
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:46,100
( gavel banging )
Order!

1190
00:59:47,100 --> 00:59:49,267
- Order!
- Sit down.

1191
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:56,800
Jimmy, our computer
expert, what's his name?

1192
00:59:57,767 --> 01:00:00,000
Gorvetich. The best.
I had him in college.

1193
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,567
We've had that computer
under lock and key

1194
01:00:02,567 --> 01:00:05,000
- since before
Christmas, right?
- Yeah.

1195
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:06,533
We got it after it was
at Judge Mason's

1196
01:00:06,533 --> 01:00:08,233
after we hassled
about what we could look at.

1197
01:00:08,233 --> 01:00:10,100
You remember.

1198
01:00:10,100 --> 01:00:11,900
But if that card
turns out to be real...

1199
01:00:11,900 --> 01:00:14,033
- It's not real.
- Jimmy, I love you to death,

1200
01:00:14,033 --> 01:00:17,033
but you confuse
fact with hope.

1201
01:00:17,033 --> 01:00:19,767
If that card turns out
to be a plant, then great,

1202
01:00:19,767 --> 01:00:21,433
Rusty Sabich is dead meat.

1203
01:00:21,433 --> 01:00:24,233
If it's real,
we are in big trouble.

1204
01:00:24,233 --> 01:00:25,667
It's not real.

1205
01:00:25,667 --> 01:00:28,533
( cellphone rings )

1206
01:00:28,533 --> 01:00:30,900
Yeah?
It's Gorvetich.

1207
01:00:35,933 --> 01:00:37,200
( phone beeps off )

1208
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,833
The card was created the day
before Barbara Sabich died.

1209
01:00:43,233 --> 01:00:44,433
It's real.

1210
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:49,300
Another reporter.

1211
01:00:49,300 --> 01:00:50,967
All asking
the same question --

1212
01:00:50,967 --> 01:00:53,867
if we think
Molto will dismiss.

1213
01:00:53,867 --> 01:00:55,133
Will he?

1214
01:00:55,133 --> 01:00:56,133
No.

1215
01:00:56,133 --> 01:00:57,900
Molto isn't
gonna give up.

1216
01:00:57,900 --> 01:01:00,133
They'll gin up
some screwy theory

1217
01:01:00,133 --> 01:01:03,167
about Rusty planting this
on his own computer.

1218
01:01:03,167 --> 01:01:04,933
Rusty has not had his
hands on a computer

1219
01:01:04,933 --> 01:01:06,600
since prior
to the indictment.

1220
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,367
Any such theory would only be
an embarrassment to them.

1221
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,433
Why didn't she
sign her name?

1222
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,300
If Barbara
was trying to frame me.

1223
01:01:15,300 --> 01:01:17,700
Why did she bother
to bail me out

1224
01:01:17,700 --> 01:01:19,100
with a silly little
greeting card?

1225
01:01:19,100 --> 01:01:20,933
Because putting you
on trial, Rusty,

1226
01:01:20,933 --> 01:01:24,700
is a fine repayment
for your infidelity.

1227
01:01:24,700 --> 01:01:26,067
Leaving you in prison

1228
01:01:26,067 --> 01:01:27,833
for the rest of your
life goes too far,

1229
01:01:27,833 --> 01:01:30,100
especially when you
consider Nat.

1230
01:01:32,833 --> 01:01:35,267
( car horn blares )

1231
01:01:35,267 --> 01:01:36,833
Woman:
There he is!

1232
01:01:36,833 --> 01:01:38,633
( reporters shouting
questions )

1233
01:01:38,633 --> 01:01:41,367
Mr. Molto, will you ask
for a dismissal this morning?

1234
01:01:41,367 --> 01:01:44,300
We try our cases
in court, Elaine,
not on the street.

1235
01:01:44,300 --> 01:01:47,300
Has your office been duped,
sir, by the victim, no less?

1236
01:01:47,300 --> 01:01:48,467
No comment.

1237
01:01:48,467 --> 01:01:49,900
( reporters shouting
questions )

1238
01:01:49,900 --> 01:01:51,933
Officer:
Please, I need you to back up.

1239
01:01:51,933 --> 01:01:54,200
I love it
when they bite back.

1240
01:01:55,733 --> 01:01:58,833
( singsong voice )
Rusty gone down!
Rusty gone down!

1241
01:01:58,833 --> 01:02:01,267
Rusty gone away!
Gone to the big house!

1242
01:02:01,267 --> 01:02:03,067
You go, girl!

1243
01:02:03,067 --> 01:02:05,967
Last night, Gorvetich
had this brilliant idea.

1244
01:02:05,967 --> 01:02:08,400
- I just talked to him.
He said it was your idea.
- Not even close.

1245
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,133
You can share
the Nobel Prize.
Tell me. What?

1246
01:02:11,133 --> 01:02:13,433
You remember when the appellate
judges were giving us hell?

1247
01:02:13,433 --> 01:02:15,067
They didn't want us looking at
their internal court documents

1248
01:02:15,067 --> 01:02:16,800
on Rusty's computer?

1249
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:19,100
Right, we had to turn
over the computer to
Judge Mason, yeah?

1250
01:02:19,100 --> 01:02:21,400
Yeah, so we made a copy,
of Rusty's hard drive,

1251
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,633
before we gave his computer
over to the chief judge.

1252
01:02:23,633 --> 01:02:26,867
So Gorvetich says,
why don't we look
at the copy,

1253
01:02:26,867 --> 01:02:30,367
to be sure the greeting card
was on Rusty's computer,
before we gave it over?

1254
01:02:30,367 --> 01:02:33,067
The copy was preserved on
a server in the evidence room.

1255
01:02:33,067 --> 01:02:35,967
Jim burned a dupe last
night, personally drove
it to Gorvetich.

1256
01:02:35,967 --> 01:02:37,567
Tell me--
please, please--

1257
01:02:37,567 --> 01:02:39,567
that someone from Sandy Stern's
office was with you.

1258
01:02:39,567 --> 01:02:42,067
If you're worried they'll claim
we screwed with the image,

1259
01:02:42,067 --> 01:02:43,767
we gave them a copy
when we made it.

1260
01:02:43,767 --> 01:02:45,133
Let 'em look
at their copy.

1261
01:02:45,133 --> 01:02:46,700
The greeting card
from hell won't be there,

1262
01:02:46,700 --> 01:02:48,800
I guarantee it.

1263
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:50,700
( sighs )

1264
01:02:50,700 --> 01:02:53,967
Your honor, our experts
have reviewed the imaged copy

1265
01:02:53,967 --> 01:02:56,467
made last November
by the prosecutor's office.

1266
01:02:56,467 --> 01:03:00,400
They agree that the card
does not appear to be there.

1267
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:04,300
Our experts will need at least
24 hours to determine why.

1268
01:03:04,300 --> 01:03:05,567
Why?!

1269
01:03:05,567 --> 01:03:08,167
With all due respect
to Mr. Stern, Judge,

1270
01:03:08,167 --> 01:03:10,233
there's an
obvious answer.

1271
01:03:10,233 --> 01:03:12,067
This was a fraud,
pure and simple.

1272
01:03:12,067 --> 01:03:14,200
That is not nearly
as simple and clear

1273
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:15,733
as Mr. Brand would
wish, your honor.

1274
01:03:15,733 --> 01:03:19,200
Everybody has experts.
I need to talk to my experts.

1275
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:20,667
Recess. 15 minutes.

1276
01:03:20,667 --> 01:03:22,600
( gavel bangs )

1277
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,100
Sandy:
If the card was planted,
it had to have been

1278
01:03:25,100 --> 01:03:26,633
when the computer
was in the possession

1279
01:03:26,633 --> 01:03:28,767
of the Chief Judge's office.

1280
01:03:28,767 --> 01:03:31,233
Our experts say it would have
taken at least an hour

1281
01:03:31,233 --> 01:03:33,067
to create the card.

1282
01:03:33,067 --> 01:03:35,467
- Did George send you a copy
of the access log?
- Yes.

1283
01:03:35,467 --> 01:03:37,933
Only four people had access
to the impounded computer.

1284
01:03:37,933 --> 01:03:39,900
- You, Rusty.
- It's true.

1285
01:03:39,900 --> 01:03:42,800
I was there for a few minutes
to copy some cases.

1286
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:44,533
28 minutes to be exact.

1287
01:03:44,533 --> 01:03:47,500
And two visits from
you, Nat. Under an hour.

1288
01:03:47,500 --> 01:03:49,633
He was there to copy
some transcripts for me.

1289
01:03:49,633 --> 01:03:51,167
I asked him to.

1290
01:03:51,167 --> 01:03:54,600
And a visit of one hour and
six minutes from Anna Vostik.

1291
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:57,933
She was filling in for me.
Judge Mason okayed it

1292
01:03:57,933 --> 01:04:00,167
because Anna was my dad's
former clerk.

1293
01:04:00,167 --> 01:04:02,067
One hour
and six minutes?

1294
01:04:02,067 --> 01:04:04,733
But I remember, she told me
while she was there,

1295
01:04:04,733 --> 01:04:06,933
her boss plugged her
into a conference call.

1296
01:04:06,933 --> 01:04:10,700
Mr. Stern. Judge Malek would
like to see the attorneys
in her chambers.

1297
01:04:10,700 --> 01:04:12,600
( sighs )

1298
01:04:16,633 --> 01:04:18,800
Here's what I'm thinking.

1299
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,300
This trial is about
who murdered Mrs. Sabich,

1300
01:04:21,300 --> 01:04:24,767
not about whether someone
fooled with the judge's
computer.

1301
01:04:24,767 --> 01:04:27,333
The jury will be told to
disregard the message they saw.

1302
01:04:27,333 --> 01:04:28,567
- Judge!
- Your honor...

1303
01:04:28,567 --> 01:04:31,467
the jury has already
seen that message.

1304
01:04:31,467 --> 01:04:32,667
The defense
will be able to argue

1305
01:04:32,667 --> 01:04:34,167
that Mrs. Sabich
killed herself,

1306
01:04:34,167 --> 01:04:36,200
that she intended to frame
her husband.

1307
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:38,067
If we could just present
some witnesses...

1308
01:04:38,067 --> 01:04:40,067
Oh, we'll have
our own witnesses.

1309
01:04:40,067 --> 01:04:42,433
I'm sorry, your honor,
but you're asking us
to finish this trial

1310
01:04:42,433 --> 01:04:43,933
with our hands tied
behind our backs!

1311
01:04:43,933 --> 01:04:45,400
There's no other way
to look at it.

1312
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,200
Excuse me.

1313
01:04:50,433 --> 01:04:53,133
I'll think
about it overnight.

1314
01:04:53,133 --> 01:04:56,233
But tomorrow morning,
we try this case.

1315
01:05:04,567 --> 01:05:07,100
I hope your attorney can
make it through this trial.

1316
01:05:07,100 --> 01:05:09,333
Sandy's not looking
very good.

1317
01:05:09,333 --> 01:05:12,400
He's fighting lung cancer.

1318
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,100
Scrapping with you again
after all these years

1319
01:05:15,100 --> 01:05:17,333
has been a really great
tonic for him.

1320
01:05:17,333 --> 01:05:20,733
Nice of you to give
him another shot.

1321
01:05:20,733 --> 01:05:23,467
I'm no angel, Tommy,
but I'm not a murderer.

1322
01:05:23,467 --> 01:05:26,933
Yet these women keep
dying all around you.

1323
01:05:26,933 --> 01:05:28,233
( zipper closes )

1324
01:05:29,467 --> 01:05:32,200
I've made a lot
of mistakes--

1325
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:36,233
vanity, lust, pride.

1326
01:05:36,233 --> 01:05:38,567
I'm not saying I didn't
go looking for this.

1327
01:05:38,567 --> 01:05:39,633
Yeah.

1328
01:05:39,633 --> 01:05:41,967
But Barbara
killed herself.

1329
01:05:41,967 --> 01:05:43,633
( urinal flushes )

1330
01:05:46,133 --> 01:05:48,200
( water running )

1331
01:05:50,467 --> 01:05:52,700
How about we end
this thing?

1332
01:05:52,700 --> 01:05:54,700
You and I both know

1333
01:05:54,700 --> 01:05:57,967
this trial could
go out of control.

1334
01:05:57,967 --> 01:06:00,400
I'd plead guilty
to obstruction

1335
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:02,300
for messing
with the computer.

1336
01:06:02,300 --> 01:06:05,700
The other charges
are dismissed.

1337
01:06:05,700 --> 01:06:08,667
You mean, keep the peas
and throw away the steak?

1338
01:06:08,667 --> 01:06:11,067
You walk on murder?

1339
01:06:11,067 --> 01:06:12,567
Which I didn't commit.

1340
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:17,167
Take what you can
get, Tommy.

1341
01:06:27,433 --> 01:06:29,167
He gets away
with two murders?

1342
01:06:29,167 --> 01:06:30,900
He's got a good chance
of doing that anyway.

1343
01:06:30,900 --> 01:06:34,067
Better than we have
of convicting him
of anything else.

1344
01:06:34,067 --> 01:06:37,867
He'd only plead
to obstruction if
he killed his wife.

1345
01:06:37,867 --> 01:06:38,900
( chuckles )

1346
01:06:38,900 --> 01:06:41,633
Why do we always
assume that?

1347
01:06:41,633 --> 01:06:45,067
That if a guy tries to run or
lies, that proves he's guilty?

1348
01:06:45,067 --> 01:06:49,167
I think Rusty Sabich has seen
justice fail so many times,

1349
01:06:49,167 --> 01:06:52,433
he'd rather not trust
the system at all.

1350
01:07:00,500 --> 01:07:03,600
We should take his deal.

1351
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:06,600
And I'll tell you why.
Because you deserve this.

1352
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:11,233
He walks, you're never
gonna hear the end of it.

1353
01:07:11,233 --> 01:07:13,300
But if he admits
obstructing justice,

1354
01:07:13,300 --> 01:07:15,367
a judge,
for God's sakes,

1355
01:07:15,367 --> 01:07:18,067
people will say you
finally got Rusty Sabich

1356
01:07:18,067 --> 01:07:19,900
where he belongs,
in prison.

1357
01:07:19,900 --> 01:07:21,833
You can finally get
that seat on the bench

1358
01:07:21,833 --> 01:07:23,500
you've always wanted.

1359
01:07:25,667 --> 01:07:27,233
( chuckles )

1360
01:07:27,233 --> 01:07:31,233
You know I have
a 4-year-old...

1361
01:07:31,233 --> 01:07:33,733
another one on the way--
did I tell you that?

1362
01:07:33,733 --> 01:07:37,367
You see?
You deserve this.

1363
01:07:41,633 --> 01:07:44,067
( elevator bell dings )

1364
01:07:44,067 --> 01:07:45,467
( telephone rings )

1365
01:07:50,067 --> 01:07:53,833
You should know that
Marta and I have been

1366
01:07:53,833 --> 01:07:57,300
plea bargaining
with Molto all morning.

1367
01:07:57,300 --> 01:07:59,267
The murder charges
will be dropped.

1368
01:07:59,267 --> 01:08:02,500
Your father will plead guilty
to obstruction of justice.

1369
01:08:02,500 --> 01:08:04,700
He will serve
two years in prison

1370
01:08:04,700 --> 01:08:07,167
and then be free
to live his life.

1371
01:08:07,167 --> 01:08:08,900
Obstruction?
What did he do?

1372
01:08:08,900 --> 01:08:10,767
He won't say.

1373
01:08:10,767 --> 01:08:12,800
Frankly, I suspect
there is someone

1374
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:15,433
he doesn't want to implicate,
but he won't say.

1375
01:08:18,067 --> 01:08:19,700
Tell me the truth!

1376
01:08:19,700 --> 01:08:21,433
The truth is, I did
obstruct justice.

1377
01:08:21,433 --> 01:08:23,500
That's bullshit!

1378
01:08:23,500 --> 01:08:26,200
You don't know a computer
from a weed whacker.

1379
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:27,800
It's a felony.

1380
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:31,900
You'll lose your pension,
your law license. I mean...

1381
01:08:34,100 --> 01:08:35,500
everything.

1382
01:08:36,567 --> 01:08:38,667
Not my son,
I hope.

1383
01:08:48,100 --> 01:08:50,333
( indistinct conversations )

1384
01:08:52,667 --> 01:08:56,833
I was across town
when I got your text.

1385
01:08:56,833 --> 01:08:57,900
( gavel bangs )

1386
01:08:57,900 --> 01:09:01,400
Court will come to order!

1387
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:05,067
Mr. Sabich, you agree with
your attorney about your plea?

1388
01:09:05,067 --> 01:09:06,500
Yes, I do.

1389
01:09:07,933 --> 01:09:10,100
The court finds there is
sufficient basis

1390
01:09:10,100 --> 01:09:11,533
for a guilty plea

1391
01:09:11,533 --> 01:09:14,167
by Rozat K. Sabich

1392
01:09:14,167 --> 01:09:18,300
to information 09-0872.

1393
01:09:18,300 --> 01:09:21,100
Mr. Sabich, you are remanded
to the Kindle County Sheriff

1394
01:09:21,100 --> 01:09:22,900
for a period of two years.

1395
01:09:25,833 --> 01:09:28,500
- ( gavel bangs )
- Court adjourned.

1396
01:09:47,233 --> 01:09:48,800
It's okay.

1397
01:09:56,333 --> 01:09:58,100
( handcuffs click )

1398
01:09:58,100 --> 01:09:59,433
Let's go.

1399
01:09:59,433 --> 01:10:01,567
( indistinct conversations )

1400
01:10:08,900 --> 01:10:11,767
( birds chirping )

1401
01:10:11,767 --> 01:10:13,467
Oh, no, no, no,
Tomaso.

1402
01:10:13,467 --> 01:10:15,967
Pazzo ragazzo!
Come here.

1403
01:10:15,967 --> 01:10:17,467
Here, come on.

1404
01:10:17,467 --> 01:10:19,867
Go back and play with
your friends. Here you go.

1405
01:10:22,633 --> 01:10:24,500
Clean up your act
a little bit.

1406
01:10:24,500 --> 01:10:26,867
( sighs )

1407
01:10:32,100 --> 01:10:34,233
- Tommy?
- Yeah.

1408
01:10:34,233 --> 01:10:36,100
Hey. Elaine.

1409
01:10:36,100 --> 01:10:37,300
Hey.

1410
01:10:37,300 --> 01:10:39,933
That your,
uh, grandchild?

1411
01:10:39,933 --> 01:10:43,200
My son, actually.
I got a late start.

1412
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:44,733
Is that your daughter?

1413
01:10:44,733 --> 01:10:46,433
My niece.

1414
01:10:46,433 --> 01:10:49,900
I get to play at mommy
without the car pools
or insomnia.

1415
01:10:49,900 --> 01:10:52,867
Geez, I haven't seen you
since the Sabich trial.

1416
01:10:52,867 --> 01:10:55,333
The second one?

1417
01:10:55,333 --> 01:10:57,667
Very funny.
You know what they say--

1418
01:10:57,667 --> 01:10:59,833
a little justice is better
than no justice at all.

1419
01:10:59,833 --> 01:11:01,900
Now, you see,
that is a good quote.

1420
01:11:01,900 --> 01:11:03,700
I should have come to you
after the verdict,

1421
01:11:03,700 --> 01:11:06,967
instead of spending
the night with Brand.

1422
01:11:06,967 --> 01:11:10,933
At the Matchbox.
At the bar.
In a group.

1423
01:11:10,933 --> 01:11:13,733
Ah, well, you missed
a world-class drink-off.

1424
01:11:13,733 --> 01:11:16,133
Jimmy Brand
trounced us all.

1425
01:11:16,133 --> 01:11:17,900
( laughs )

1426
01:11:17,900 --> 01:11:21,067
- Jimmy's got
a well-lubricated elbow.
- Uh-huh.

1427
01:11:21,067 --> 01:11:23,500
Actually, he did
mumble one thing

1428
01:11:23,500 --> 01:11:25,400
that was very interesting.

1429
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,067
See, I was giving him
an ear-load

1430
01:11:27,067 --> 01:11:28,900
about how it must suck
to work so hard on a case

1431
01:11:28,900 --> 01:11:31,100
and end up with
such a lame result.

1432
01:11:31,100 --> 01:11:32,900
And he laughs.

1433
01:11:32,900 --> 01:11:35,733
He says, "hey, seeing somebody
who planned the perfect murder

1434
01:11:35,733 --> 01:11:38,733
"end up punished for a crime
he had no role in,

1435
01:11:38,733 --> 01:11:41,100
now, that's hilarious."

1436
01:11:43,367 --> 01:11:45,967
What'd he mean by that?

1437
01:11:45,967 --> 01:11:47,967
No idea.

1438
01:11:49,333 --> 01:11:50,900
Well, I wondered if...

1439
01:11:50,900 --> 01:11:53,467
Jimmy thought Rusty's
computer accomplice

1440
01:11:53,467 --> 01:11:54,833
wasn't an accomplice
after all,

1441
01:11:54,833 --> 01:11:57,567
but someone who
acted on his own.

1442
01:11:57,567 --> 01:11:59,567
( laughs )

1443
01:11:59,567 --> 01:12:03,233
You know what? Alcohol is
not a friend of Jimmy's.

1444
01:12:03,233 --> 01:12:05,067
Mm-hmm.
( giggles )

1445
01:12:05,067 --> 01:12:08,267
Arianna! Honey, no.
Come here.

1446
01:12:08,267 --> 01:12:09,633
Stay here.
Come here.

1447
01:12:09,633 --> 01:12:11,267
( buzzer )

1448
01:12:11,267 --> 01:12:14,500
( indistinct shouting )

1449
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:19,167
Hey, Molto,
you piece of garbage!

1450
01:12:19,167 --> 01:12:23,500
Prisoner:
Hey, stop screaming
over there. Stop screaming.

1451
01:12:25,733 --> 01:12:29,233
Man:
Shut the hell up!

1452
01:12:29,233 --> 01:12:32,067
- ( sighs )
- Rusty.

1453
01:12:32,067 --> 01:12:33,900
I like your whiskers.

1454
01:12:35,533 --> 01:12:37,500
How are you
doing here?

1455
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:40,767
I don't care for
the health club,

1456
01:12:40,767 --> 01:12:43,600
but at least
there's room service.

1457
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:47,133
There's a theory
running around my office

1458
01:12:47,133 --> 01:12:49,767
that you pled guilty
to a crime you didn't commit.

1459
01:12:49,767 --> 01:12:53,067
Tommy, who's putting
out that crap?

1460
01:12:53,067 --> 01:12:54,067
Doesn't matter.

1461
01:12:54,067 --> 01:12:56,467
But I got to tell you,

1462
01:12:56,467 --> 01:13:00,167
the idea's been pecking
at me, you know?

1463
01:13:00,167 --> 01:13:02,833
Got me up again in
the middle of the night.

1464
01:13:05,100 --> 01:13:08,633
You were bothered
in the middle of the night.

1465
01:13:08,633 --> 01:13:12,567
I'll tell you
what's bothering me.

1466
01:13:12,567 --> 01:13:14,433
I have a son.

1467
01:13:14,433 --> 01:13:17,067
If someone came to me

1468
01:13:17,067 --> 01:13:19,500
and said I could spend
two years in the hole

1469
01:13:19,500 --> 01:13:22,233
to save my kid's life,

1470
01:13:22,233 --> 01:13:23,700
man, I would do that.

1471
01:13:23,700 --> 01:13:26,567
I'd do that
in a heartbeat.

1472
01:13:26,567 --> 01:13:28,167
Good for you.

1473
01:13:28,167 --> 01:13:29,433
So if I was you...

1474
01:13:29,433 --> 01:13:32,967
and I was convinced
that somebody I loved

1475
01:13:32,967 --> 01:13:35,667
had monkeyed
with that computer,

1476
01:13:35,667 --> 01:13:39,067
I'd have fallen on my sword
and pled guilty,

1477
01:13:39,067 --> 01:13:42,500
just to end
the whole thing.

1478
01:13:42,500 --> 01:13:43,967
Hmm.

1479
01:13:43,967 --> 01:13:45,800
Yeah, but...
( clears throat )

1480
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:48,200
that way I'd be innocent,

1481
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:51,433
and I already told
you I'm guilty.

1482
01:13:51,433 --> 01:13:52,633
Okay.

1483
01:13:52,633 --> 01:13:53,900
Just explain to me

1484
01:13:53,900 --> 01:13:56,067
how you messed with
that computer, okay?

1485
01:13:56,067 --> 01:13:57,767
Just you and me.

1486
01:13:57,767 --> 01:14:00,433
It could get you out
of here, Rusty.

1487
01:14:00,433 --> 01:14:03,300
I'll put it in writing.
No one else will ever
be prosecuted.

1488
01:14:11,367 --> 01:14:12,833
All right.

1489
01:14:12,833 --> 01:14:14,733
Here's the truth.

1490
01:14:14,733 --> 01:14:16,933
Once and for all,
you and me.

1491
01:14:18,667 --> 01:14:21,167
I obstructed justice.

1492
01:14:21,167 --> 01:14:22,867
Leave it be.

1493
01:14:27,767 --> 01:14:29,767
Screw you, Rusty.

1494
01:14:37,300 --> 01:14:40,333
( indistinct shouting
in distance )

1495
01:14:43,467 --> 01:14:46,967
( gunfire )

1496
01:14:48,633 --> 01:14:49,933
( door closes )

1497
01:14:53,567 --> 01:14:55,067
Orestes?

1498
01:14:55,067 --> 01:14:57,600
Orestes!
( pounds on glass )

1499
01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:00,067
I need to review
the Cavanaugh jacket.

1500
01:15:00,067 --> 01:15:02,167
Can you find it
for me, please?

1501
01:15:02,167 --> 01:15:05,567
Boss man! Is it
raining out there?

1502
01:15:05,567 --> 01:15:07,233
- Yeah.
- Where you been?

1503
01:15:07,233 --> 01:15:10,067
Corrections meeting,
checking out Sabich,

1504
01:15:10,067 --> 01:15:12,300
you know, driving
through Hades.

1505
01:15:12,300 --> 01:15:13,933
Uh, the judge!

1506
01:15:13,933 --> 01:15:15,833
Man, that whole thing

1507
01:15:15,833 --> 01:15:18,233
is just too screwed up.

1508
01:15:18,233 --> 01:15:20,533
I'm still trying
to figure that out.

1509
01:15:20,533 --> 01:15:22,200
How that computer
got messed with.

1510
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:24,933
( scoffs )
Wasn't me, man,
I know that.

1511
01:15:24,933 --> 01:15:27,900
- What do you think?
- Me?

1512
01:15:27,900 --> 01:15:29,967
Yeah, what do
you think?

1513
01:15:31,533 --> 01:15:33,267
You remember
that big brouhaha

1514
01:15:33,267 --> 01:15:35,267
after you guys figured out
that the card was phony?

1515
01:15:35,267 --> 01:15:37,333
And Detective Gissling was
tripping about how no one

1516
01:15:37,333 --> 01:15:39,833
who was on the computer
up in Judge Mason's chambers?

1517
01:15:39,833 --> 01:15:41,833
Not Sabich or the kid
or the former clerk--

1518
01:15:41,833 --> 01:15:43,500
how none of them had time
to do what it took

1519
01:15:43,500 --> 01:15:45,167
- to get the card
on there-- remember?
- Sure.

1520
01:15:45,167 --> 01:15:48,367
But here's the thing.
What if it was all of them?

1521
01:15:48,367 --> 01:15:51,267
One downloaded from the
flash drive, another ran spy,

1522
01:15:51,267 --> 01:15:55,200
and then the next edits
the directory. Together, man.

1523
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:57,933
Even just two of them,
they would have the time, right?

1524
01:15:57,933 --> 01:16:00,267
That's how you would
have done it?

1525
01:16:00,267 --> 01:16:03,500
( scoffs )
I could have done it solo.
But that's my job, man.

1526
01:16:03,500 --> 01:16:06,433
I got to make sure
the evidence is
tamper-proof.

1527
01:16:06,433 --> 01:16:07,900
And?

1528
01:16:07,900 --> 01:16:11,167
I mean, that's--
that's what I do.

1529
01:16:11,167 --> 01:16:12,900
Look, I remember
one night

1530
01:16:12,900 --> 01:16:15,067
I go get the wrapping
off of Sabich's computer

1531
01:16:15,067 --> 01:16:16,467
for court
the next morning.

1532
01:16:16,467 --> 01:16:18,700
It was on the trial cart
up in Jimmy B.'s office.

1533
01:16:18,700 --> 01:16:22,167
- So I go up there,
and I'm like --
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

1534
01:16:22,167 --> 01:16:24,967
Wasn't the computer unwrapped
in the morning, right before?

1535
01:16:24,967 --> 01:16:27,200
Hey, man, 12:00 p.m.
to 8:00 a.m.

1536
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:28,933
I got to go to school
in the morning.

1537
01:16:28,933 --> 01:16:31,367
Anyways, Jimmy B. and I,
we unwrap this computer,

1538
01:16:31,367 --> 01:16:34,300
and I finally see the evidence
tape across the power button,

1539
01:16:34,300 --> 01:16:37,200
and I'm like,
"man, this is messed up!"

1540
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:38,600
Meaning?

1541
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:40,733
There's this itty-bitty
space underneath the tape.

1542
01:16:40,733 --> 01:16:43,567
So I grab a tool, and Brand,
he just about chokes me
at that point.

1543
01:16:43,567 --> 01:16:45,233
Right? He thinks
I'm gonna do it.

1544
01:16:45,233 --> 01:16:47,433
This was the night of the day
that the bank lady testified.

1545
01:16:47,433 --> 01:16:50,100
So Brand, he's like,
"whoa, Coolio. It's bad
enough as it is."

1546
01:16:50,100 --> 01:16:52,133
I didn't push
the button, though.

1547
01:16:52,133 --> 01:16:55,167
Just scared him. But see,
that's what I'm saying.

1548
01:16:55,167 --> 01:16:57,167
I got to try and
figure out what evidence

1549
01:16:57,167 --> 01:17:00,400
can and can't
be messed with.

1550
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,100
But even if the computer
is powered up,

1551
01:17:03,100 --> 01:17:05,800
don't you have to break
the other seals?

1552
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:07,700
Get access
to the keyboard?

1553
01:17:07,700 --> 01:17:10,500
No. Just get
a new keyboard,

1554
01:17:10,500 --> 01:17:13,233
and you plug it in. I mean,
on the side of the computer,

1555
01:17:13,233 --> 01:17:15,500
there was a port that
the tape didn't cover.

1556
01:17:35,167 --> 01:17:37,467
Sabich evidence cart.

1557
01:17:37,467 --> 01:17:40,867
What, are you keeping it
around for good luck?

1558
01:17:40,867 --> 01:17:43,767
More like a trophy.

1559
01:17:43,767 --> 01:17:45,467
I ran into Elaine Reese.

1560
01:17:45,467 --> 01:17:47,300
She said you two got
ripped after the trial.

1561
01:17:47,300 --> 01:17:48,967
That you told her
you thought

1562
01:17:48,967 --> 01:17:51,700
Rusty had copped to
something he didn't do.

1563
01:17:51,700 --> 01:17:53,433
And it finally came to me,

1564
01:17:53,433 --> 01:17:57,167
you were thinking that he was
fronting for his son.

1565
01:17:57,167 --> 01:17:59,733
Who knows
what I was thinking?

1566
01:17:59,733 --> 01:18:03,367
I was on my ass.
So was Elaine.

1567
01:18:03,367 --> 01:18:05,133
Yeah, but I still
can't figure out

1568
01:18:05,133 --> 01:18:06,533
what gave you the idea

1569
01:18:06,533 --> 01:18:09,400
that he was taking
the weight for his kid.

1570
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:10,833
( folders thud )

1571
01:18:12,633 --> 01:18:14,767
Just a feeling.

1572
01:18:14,767 --> 01:18:16,433
But why?

1573
01:18:18,767 --> 01:18:20,433
Who cares, boss?

1574
01:18:20,433 --> 01:18:22,767
Rusty's in the can,
where he should be.

1575
01:18:22,767 --> 01:18:24,233
What are you afraid of?

1576
01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:29,933
Tell you what
I'm afraid of, Jimmy.

1577
01:18:29,933 --> 01:18:33,233
I'm afraid that you know

1578
01:18:33,233 --> 01:18:37,133
that Rusty did not put
that card in that computer.

1579
01:18:37,133 --> 01:18:39,567
Why would you
think that, boss?

1580
01:18:39,567 --> 01:18:42,400
Well, the fact that you
were in this office

1581
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:46,067
all night long after the
computer had been unwrapped.

1582
01:18:46,067 --> 01:18:48,633
After Orestes showed you
how to turn it on.

1583
01:18:48,633 --> 01:18:50,667
You're a computer guy,
Jimmy.

1584
01:18:50,667 --> 01:18:53,800
You took programming
with Gorvetich.

1585
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:55,733
So I have to ask you.

1586
01:18:55,733 --> 01:18:59,900
You didn't put that card
in that computer, did you?

1587
01:19:01,167 --> 01:19:04,467
He killed somebody, boss.

1588
01:19:04,467 --> 01:19:07,100
Two somebodies.

1589
01:19:07,100 --> 01:19:10,233
He didn't deserve to walk.

1590
01:19:10,233 --> 01:19:12,267
Now you've won.

1591
01:19:14,367 --> 01:19:16,200
Yeah, but it kind of
works out for you, too,

1592
01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:18,267
doesn't it, Jimmy?

1593
01:19:18,267 --> 01:19:20,133
I mean, uh,
you are the guy

1594
01:19:20,133 --> 01:19:23,067
who's running to be
the next P.A.

1595
01:19:23,067 --> 01:19:24,900
( scoffs )

1596
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:31,100
Look...

1597
01:19:32,300 --> 01:19:34,900
it's the middle
of the night.

1598
01:19:34,900 --> 01:19:38,067
And you get this half-assed
idea, and then you get started,

1599
01:19:38,067 --> 01:19:40,233
mostly because you know
you can do it.

1600
01:19:40,233 --> 01:19:42,900
And then it takes on
a life of its own.

1601
01:19:42,900 --> 01:19:44,200
( chuckles )

1602
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:45,933
To tell you the truth,

1603
01:19:45,933 --> 01:19:48,367
I was laughing out loud
the whole time.

1604
01:19:48,367 --> 01:19:49,967
I'm not gonna let anyone
sit in the can

1605
01:19:49,967 --> 01:19:52,800
for a crime
they didn't commit.

1606
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:54,233
You're crazy.

1607
01:19:54,233 --> 01:19:55,967
I'm gonna call
Sandy Stern.

1608
01:19:55,967 --> 01:19:57,167
Isn't he dead yet?

1609
01:19:57,167 --> 01:19:58,767
No, he's not dead yet.

1610
01:19:58,767 --> 01:20:01,300
As a matter of fact,
he's rallying
just a little bit.

1611
01:20:01,300 --> 01:20:03,367
You know what? This is gonna
be a nice little pick-me-up.

1612
01:20:03,367 --> 01:20:06,067
And after I'm done with Stern,
I'm gonna call Judge Malek.

1613
01:20:06,067 --> 01:20:08,900
I just have to figure out
(scoffs) what to say

1614
01:20:08,900 --> 01:20:11,133
and what to do with you.

1615
01:20:11,133 --> 01:20:13,633
I didn't testify falsely.

1616
01:20:13,633 --> 01:20:18,100
All I ever said to the court
was, the card is a fraud.

1617
01:20:18,100 --> 01:20:21,033
You can't prosecute me,
and even if you tried,

1618
01:20:21,033 --> 01:20:22,900
people would just
blame you, Tommy.

1619
01:20:25,267 --> 01:20:27,367
I think I just figured it out.

1620
01:20:27,367 --> 01:20:31,167
You're gonna resign from this
office in the next 30 days.

1621
01:20:31,167 --> 01:20:33,500
It was your fault that
that computer was not secured.

1622
01:20:33,500 --> 01:20:36,567
You're gonna take the blame
for Sabich skating.

1623
01:20:36,567 --> 01:20:38,767
You're gonna wear
the black hat.

1624
01:20:38,767 --> 01:20:40,800
( chuckles )

1625
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:42,867
Which will screw
my candidacy.

1626
01:20:42,867 --> 01:20:44,867
I'm supposed to
thank you for that?

1627
01:20:44,867 --> 01:20:47,900
Yes.
Yeah, you should.

1628
01:20:52,700 --> 01:20:54,300
( buzzer )

1629
01:21:24,067 --> 01:21:26,333
I'll get the car.

1630
01:21:40,867 --> 01:21:42,367
You lost weight.

1631
01:21:42,367 --> 01:21:45,467
Yeah, well, it's not
a diet I'd recommend.

1632
01:21:45,467 --> 01:21:48,400
( sighs )
Anna, before he gets back...

1633
01:21:49,667 --> 01:21:53,767
I need to be sure...
Nat doesn't know about...?

1634
01:21:53,767 --> 01:21:56,267
No.

1635
01:21:56,267 --> 01:21:58,400
I've started to tell him
a thousand times,

1636
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,900
but I always stop myself.

1637
01:22:00,900 --> 01:22:04,933
I think that's...right.

1638
01:22:04,933 --> 01:22:06,767
Nothing to gain.

1639
01:22:09,233 --> 01:22:11,300
You are in love
with him, right?

1640
01:22:11,300 --> 01:22:13,533
Madly.
( laughs )

1641
01:22:13,533 --> 01:22:16,400
Insanely.

1642
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:20,067
Because he's the sweetest
man in the world.

1643
01:22:20,067 --> 01:22:23,067
Good.

1644
01:22:23,067 --> 01:22:25,700
That's what
I wanted to hear.

1645
01:22:27,867 --> 01:22:30,067
And one more reason.

1646
01:22:30,067 --> 01:22:32,067
( engine turns over )

1647
01:22:32,067 --> 01:22:35,367
There are ways
he's a lot like you.

1648
01:22:49,733 --> 01:22:50,800
( car door closes )

1649
01:23:00,933 --> 01:23:03,867
( birds chirping )

1650
01:23:04,933 --> 01:23:07,067
Great. Great.

1651
01:23:07,067 --> 01:23:08,367
No, no, no.

1652
01:23:08,367 --> 01:23:10,833
Just-- just don't
catch all the fish

1653
01:23:10,833 --> 01:23:12,733
before I get
there, please?

1654
01:23:12,733 --> 01:23:15,900
Thank you. Oh.

1655
01:23:15,900 --> 01:23:17,767
No, no. I promise.

1656
01:23:17,767 --> 01:23:20,600
All right. Bye, Lorna.

1657
01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:23,667
Lorna! Lor-na.

1658
01:23:23,667 --> 01:23:26,267
That's the, uh,
classmate with the lake?

1659
01:23:26,267 --> 01:23:28,333
Don't go jumping
to conclusions.

1660
01:23:28,333 --> 01:23:31,433
She's been inviting me
up to her place for years.

1661
01:23:31,433 --> 01:23:33,433
- To fish.
- Oh, right. Right.

1662
01:23:33,433 --> 01:23:35,700
Then you'd better bring
back some actual trout.

1663
01:23:35,700 --> 01:23:38,067
I will, if I can just
find a store out there.

1664
01:23:38,067 --> 01:23:39,367
( chuckles )

1665
01:23:39,367 --> 01:23:41,067
Well, here it is.
Here's your rod.

1666
01:23:41,067 --> 01:23:44,300
Sorry I had it
so long.

1667
01:23:44,300 --> 01:23:45,567
It's okay.
No problem.

1668
01:23:45,567 --> 01:23:47,900
I just didn't know
I'd need it again.

1669
01:23:47,900 --> 01:23:50,800
- Hey, Dad?
- Yeah.

1670
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:52,800
I want you to tell me
the truth.

1671
01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:58,367
- Look, Nat...
- No, no, about Mom.

1672
01:23:58,367 --> 01:24:01,367
- Please.
- The thing I hated about
growing up in this house

1673
01:24:01,367 --> 01:24:03,933
is that everyone
had secrets.

1674
01:24:03,933 --> 01:24:06,867
Just...please.

1675
01:24:06,867 --> 01:24:08,367
End it.

1676
01:24:23,500 --> 01:24:25,667
The day that you and Anna
came over for dinner,

1677
01:24:25,667 --> 01:24:28,433
I had been working
out in the backyard,

1678
01:24:28,433 --> 01:24:31,233
and my knees
were killing me.

1679
01:24:31,233 --> 01:24:33,233
Your mom brought
my four Advil

1680
01:24:33,233 --> 01:24:35,067
here into the kitchen.

1681
01:24:35,067 --> 01:24:36,533
Take your Advil.

1682
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:38,767
Yeah, I remember that.

1683
01:24:38,767 --> 01:24:39,833
I didn't take them.

1684
01:24:39,833 --> 01:24:41,633
I was distracted
by the whole situation

1685
01:24:41,633 --> 01:24:43,600
with you and Anna
or something.

1686
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:45,067
I forgot.

1687
01:24:45,067 --> 01:24:47,067
And then after you left,

1688
01:24:47,067 --> 01:24:49,367
she brought me
the pills...

1689
01:24:49,367 --> 01:24:51,500
up in the bedroom.

1690
01:24:51,500 --> 01:24:53,500
Here, take these.

1691
01:24:53,500 --> 01:24:54,900
You'll never
be able to get out

1692
01:24:54,900 --> 01:24:57,833
of bed in the morning
if you don't.

1693
01:24:57,833 --> 01:24:59,400
( groans )

1694
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:01,733
I don't know, Nat.
The Phenelzine tablets--

1695
01:25:01,733 --> 01:25:04,633
they look just like
the ibuprofen.

1696
01:25:04,633 --> 01:25:06,833
They're the same size
and the same color.

1697
01:25:08,767 --> 01:25:10,900
Are these Advil?

1698
01:25:10,900 --> 01:25:12,733
Some generic.

1699
01:25:15,233 --> 01:25:17,700
She was glad I knew.

1700
01:25:17,700 --> 01:25:19,367
Knew what?

1701
01:25:19,367 --> 01:25:21,400
( sighs )

1702
01:25:23,067 --> 01:25:24,900
She tried to kill you?

1703
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:29,500
Yes.

1704
01:25:31,633 --> 01:25:33,433
I didn't realize it
at the time.

1705
01:25:33,433 --> 01:25:36,700
She'd been to the bank.
She'd been in my e-mail.

1706
01:25:36,700 --> 01:25:38,967
Can you show me
the bottle?

1707
01:25:59,067 --> 01:26:00,467
( bottle thuds )

1708
01:26:05,867 --> 01:26:09,067
So she would
rather die than...

1709
01:26:09,067 --> 01:26:11,567
get caught?

1710
01:26:11,567 --> 01:26:15,333
When I woke up, the sheets
were soaked with sweat.

1711
01:26:15,333 --> 01:26:18,333
She was gone.

1712
01:26:18,333 --> 01:26:20,867
My first thought
was heart failure.

1713
01:26:20,867 --> 01:26:24,700
( grunting )

1714
01:26:29,867 --> 01:26:32,933
( panting )

1715
01:26:35,367 --> 01:26:36,900
( dial tone )

1716
01:26:38,233 --> 01:26:40,467
She'd obviously put it there

1717
01:26:40,467 --> 01:26:42,433
after I went to sleep.

1718
01:26:42,433 --> 01:26:44,967
It was the equivalent
of a note.

1719
01:26:46,767 --> 01:26:49,967
She wanted me
to know that she knew.

1720
01:26:49,967 --> 01:26:51,267
I spent the rest
of the afternoon

1721
01:26:51,267 --> 01:26:53,200
putting it all together.

1722
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:56,800
How she'd used rubber gloves
to handle the Phenelzine bottle.

1723
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:59,567
How she'd gone
into my e-mail

1724
01:26:59,567 --> 01:27:01,433
and erased all the evidence
of the affair

1725
01:27:01,433 --> 01:27:03,633
so that it would
incriminate me.

1726
01:27:03,633 --> 01:27:07,400
What did you do with
the lawyer's receipt?

1727
01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:09,433
I flushed it
down the toilet.

1728
01:27:09,433 --> 01:27:12,800
( exhales sharply )

1729
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:16,467
So, you see,
I did obstruct justice.

1730
01:27:16,467 --> 01:27:18,067
( chuckles )

1731
01:27:19,467 --> 01:27:22,633
Hey. Nat.

1732
01:27:27,433 --> 01:27:29,667
Dad, it could
have been worse,

1733
01:27:29,667 --> 01:27:32,567
how it turned out.

1734
01:27:32,567 --> 01:27:35,533
You get your pension back,
you can practice law.

1735
01:27:37,467 --> 01:27:39,967
Yeah, maybe someday.

1736
01:27:43,267 --> 01:27:45,867
( sighs )
I'm due back
at the office.

1737
01:27:45,867 --> 01:27:48,167
We'll talk more when you
get back from your trip?

1738
01:27:48,167 --> 01:27:49,733
Yeah.

1739
01:27:54,867 --> 01:27:57,133
( sniffles )

1740
01:27:57,133 --> 01:28:00,067
I hope you don't mind me
saying this, but...

1741
01:28:00,067 --> 01:28:03,633
I still feel like you're not
telling me everything, Dad.

1742
01:28:11,233 --> 01:28:13,067
I love you, Nat.

1743
01:28:17,900 --> 01:28:21,067
( sighs )
I love you, too.

1744
01:28:23,100 --> 01:28:25,533
( birds chirping )

1745
01:28:30,567 --> 01:28:31,967
Hi to Anna.

1746
01:28:36,433 --> 01:28:37,867
( car door opens )

1747
01:28:40,467 --> 01:28:42,067
( engine starts )

1748
01:29:07,767 --> 01:29:11,067
