Well, I think you'’ll both
be very pleased.

They are prepared to extend
an offer of settlement

in the amount
of $123,000.

HARRY: You said we'’d be
happy with this offer.

I'’m anything but happy, Sam.

In fact, I'’m pretty
pissed off.

You have a nail in you head.
Take him to the hospital.

I want to be fair, honestly.

What do you think is fair here?

Three million dollars.

Half now, half in six months?

I fired a nail into my head

and you exploited that
to negotiate a settlement.

I saw a guy in a
wheelchair out front.

Want to go let
the air out of his tires?

BERMAN: I'’m happy we
worked this out, my dear.

Did that strike you as odd?Odd? [chuckles]

It struck me as nuts.

We thought, well,
that'’s Sam Berman.

Let'’s just be good lawyers.

You know, Sam, the little crazy
act isn'’t playing, okay?

I'’m not buying it.

Come work for me.Excuse me?

Well, you settle
inner office disputes.

You'’re way too good for that.

Give any more thought to...I haven'’t, actually.

But thanks for asking.

I got another idea.
You come work with us.

I like doing my own thing.

Fine, come do it with us.

HARRY: God, look at
the two of them.

Ten bucks says
he tries to kiss her.

You'’re on.

She'’s way too much for him.I know my people.

[marching band playing
lively melody]

Evidently, when it rains,
they practice in here.

Well, the question is,
why the hell are we here?

You still haven'’t
been clear on that.

Yes, I have.No, you haven'’t.

[cheerleaders shouting]

Sorry.

There she is.

BOY:
Yeah!

Thank you so much for coming.

I thought it was important

that you get a flavor
for, you know...

Well, what is this?
Just tell me.

Adam wasn'’t very clear.

Uh, well, basically,
these are the clients.

You can see
they come in bulk,

as do the lawyers,
some represent a few,

some represent quite a few,
and some, like me,

represent just one. Ours is
Seth Carlson, trumpet section.

Why do we work for her?

What do you mean?I mean, I know your gig.

You'’re a fee-splitting
middle man.

You get client after client,

and then saddle us up
to do the work.

You'’re not as clever
as you think.

Do you believe that?No, I think
you'’re very clever.

It'’s a weird case.

I'’m still cutting my teeth
on the normal ones.

I mean, if you could
just show up with me

this afternoon,
to pre-trial...

Come on, Harry, there'’s
almost 40 co-defendants.

You have to admit
this is a little strange.

40 of them
are charged with murder?

Indeed.

First Degree.

Look, Alden...

I'’m your friend, right,

I'’m speaking to you
as a friend when I say

drop this case;
you don'’t want to pursue it.

Let it go,
move on with your life.

I can'’t drop it,
Mr. Jefferson.

As much as I would like
to let it go, I simply cannot.

Okay, you'’ve gone
to the DA'’s Office,

you were told there
is no case to be made.

Which is why I'’ve come to you,

to help me build that case
so we could then can then

take it back to the DA.

Okay, let'’s start by you
looking right back here,

right into my eyes.

She raped me.

I did not choose
to have sex with her.

It was not consensual
and that is a crime,

for which she
should be held accountable.

The woman raped me.

SETH: As I said to Phoebe,
I didn'’t really throw a punch.

I mean, I did, but not really.

I punch like a girl.

And where did you
actually punch him?

I'’m not sure I even did.

I was in the middle,
it was kind of like

a big ball of humanity.

I flailed a little in
Ryan'’s general direction.

I sort of grazed somebody, but
I'’m not sure it was Ryan.

Okay, can you explain to me
how this went down?

Well...

it was in here.

At night.

Ryan had on the uniform,
the rest of us didn'’t.

That'’s the way it goes--
the one being hazed

wears the uniform, I guess,
so people know who to punch.

Or in my case, wave at.

So he started on that end.

Ryan?Yes.

SETH: We were all in the middle,
and he had to make it

from one end
of the court to the other.

Only, you know,

he didn'’t make it.

He went down right over there.

And, um, he never got up.

And were there some there
hitting harder than the others?

To be honest,
I couldn'’t tell.

I was mainly ducking

and I had my eyes closed.

I fight like a girl, too.

I think I could beat this
if we got an individual trial.

The problem is all our motions
to sever have failed.

They'’re trying
them all en masse.

That'’s ridiculous. Why?

PHOEBE:
Judicial economy, I guess.

I mean, it would
cost the state over

$100 million
to try them separately.

Well, has the DA
even seen this kid?

[chuckles] The lead DA
is Upton Cruickshank.

Ugh.

PHOEBE:
Come on, Harry.

You got this case?I think in part maybe because

the client knew you got it,
but just the same.

What do you want to do?

He claims it
wasn'’t consensual.

[scoffs]
Even if that were true...Which I think it is.

Proving it. Tommy.

I looked into it; it'’s way more
common than you might think.

Look, the best thing is to

probably depose them both,
get their stories,

then you and I
can talk again.

I might bring in
Cassie and Ollie.

Why?

Honestly?

A little perspective.

I could use their take.

Tommy, if it'’s perspective
you'’re after,

have you looked
into your client'’s

psychological state of mind?

Meaning is he crazy?

I don'’t think so.

If you'’re asking
is he'’s traumatized,

I would say very much.

JUDGE BUCKLAND: Okay. So we have
20 lawyers, or lawyer teams

representing 39 defendants.
Is that our final count?

It is, Your Honor.And how are we
on plea bargaining?

We have offered each defendant
Involuntary Manslaughter

with a three-year sentence,
13 accepted that offer

in principle, I'’m expecting
another eight or nine to agree,

leaving us 17
or 18 for trial.

And does the defense
have a lead counsel?

I'’m told the attorney
representing the most
defendants...

BERMAN: That would be me,
Your Honor! Sorry I'’m late.

Wow, Judge! Lookie here,
we got one charge

fitting 39 defendants.

[chuckles]:
Imagine that.

Gee willikers,

all 39 boys lumped
into one big category.

Try them in bulk,
Costco justice.

Love it. Love it. Love it.

Mr. Berman, if you'’re winding up
for another motion to sever,

don'’t bother.Hey, how about a good ol'’
motion to dismiss then,

on grounds that this thing
is utterly ridiculous.

Show of hands, how many think
this is ridiculous?

Mr. Berman...BERMAN: It'’s hazing,
what'’s the biggie?

It'’s cultural, we'’re raised
to haze, are we not?

we have clubs,
we have initiations.

This is a marching band,
for God'’s sake.

They toot their trumpets and
blow their little horns.

I'’m sure some would be
happy to blow yours

in chambers, if that would help.
Show of hands, anybody?

You think that'’s funny?

[snickers]
Funny?

No, what'’s funny is this case.

What'’s funny is this is a band,

and this band exists
to play at football games.

Heard of football, Judgie,
it'’s a contest

where big muscle-bound behemoths
bash their heads

into each other,
causing lifelong damage,

sometimes death-- we love it, we
cheer, we spend wads of money

to support it. And here we have
a band with one isolated,

freakish, tragic result,
and whoosh,

let'’s haul'’em all in on murder
charges. Are we serious?

BUCKLAND: Am I to understand,
Mr. Berman that you are

taking the lead role
in handling the defense?

WALSH:
Hector Walsh, Judge.

Representing Simon Bensworth
and Colin Stark.

We have a defendants'’ lawyers
meeting set up for tonight,

but it is our assumption
that each of us

will be afforded opportunity
to adequately

defend our respective clients.

BUCKLAND: Yes, Mr. Walsh, as
I'’ve made clear,

you will each get opportunity,
but we will not be chewing

the same food over and over.

Otherwise we'’ll
be here for years.

I expect you to consolidate
where appropriate

and have one or two lawyers,
tops leading the charge.

And that'’ll be me, Judgie,
captain of the team.

Don'’t you just love teams?
If only we had

a band to go with it.
Oh, right, we do!

Boxcars. [chuckles]

He'’s gotten worse.Tell me.

ADAM:
Has he gone nuts?

[chuckles] Well...

the thing about Sam is,
it'’s always hard to tell.

I mean, he traded on being
unpredictable and mercurial.

I think he was trading a little
too much on it there.

There'’s no way we can let him
spearhead this case.

Well, let'’s just see how this
meeting plays out.

He might surprise you.

That I don'’t doubt.

Let'’s go.

WALSH: Okay, then...
first order of business

should be to select
our lead attorney.

Obviously one who
might represent

the best spokesperson
for the entire group.

Well, Hector, I thought we
previously agreed

to let that be
a function of math,

whoever represents the most
defendants-- I have six.

Well, Sam, I guess
what I'’m suggesting,

is that we not let this be
a mathematical equation.

Sam, you came off
a bit erratic to me.

Erratic, gee.
[chuckles]

That'’s quite a conclusion.

We got a lot of psychology
degrees among us tonight.

See, the thing is, Hector, and

forgive me if it seems like the
rest of you already get it,

whereas perhaps Hector...
Boo!

What Hector fails to realize

is that erratic...

Boo!

Erratic can be good, it can keep
the opposition off stride.

It'’s quite a thing when the
world... geez, it'’s hot,

when the world doesn'’t have a
clue as to what you'’ll do next,

they come in ready to play
a chess game,

and what do you know?
Turns out the game

isn'’t so much chess after all.

It'’s checkers!

You see?

By the time you'’ve figured out
what the game is,

Sam Berman has already won it.

[grunts]WALSH: Uh, that being said,

we still feel
we'’d be better served

by somebody else
on the front line.

Oh, do you now,
and just how many agree? Hm?

BERMAN:
Oh... well, then.

I stand corrected.

I apologize.

May I ask a silly question?

Has anybody bothered
to challenge

the Felony Murder Rule?

On what grounds?It'’s dumb.

HARRY:
It is. It'’s a dumb rule.

At least when you
apply it like this.

If we get it tossed,
then all these cases go away.

The Felony Murder Rule has been
around longer than all of us.

HARRY:
Oh, well, then.

You didn'’t tell me it was old.

I guess that settles it.

Yes, Miss...

Oh, Blake.
Phoebe Blake.

Speaking as someone
who hasn'’t been around

longer than all of you or...

any of you...

it would be the quickest out,
getting the court

to set aside the
Felony Murder Rule.

Why not let
Harry take a shot?

I'’ve seen her.

She'’s really good.

[groans]

AMANDA: Okay, so we all know
how a deposition works.

I'’ll try to keep this
one brief, Mr. Mills.

Okay, we'’re all here today
because you say that

this woman made you
sleep with her.

Why don'’t you tell us
exactly what happened?

[sighs]

Well, we met
at an office party.

She had come with
somebody else, but...

we met by the bar.

ALDEN: We spoke for a while...
flirted, I guess.

There was music playing,
so we decided to dance.

It was a slow song,

very sexy.

I guess we were dancing in a way
that angered her escort,

and he left without her.

So, now, she was
stuck without a ride,

so I decided
to give her a lift.

We talked a bit more
in the car.

So then leaned over
to say good night.

We kissed.

It was a very inviting kiss.

She then asked me
to come in for a nightcap.

And you accepted.Which I shouldn'’t have.

But you did.

Yes. So, we went inside
and had a drink.

One drink?Two.

Then what happened?

We began kissing...

rather passionately,
like two kids in high school.

AMANDA:
Did she know you were married?

Yes, because I kept saying

"this is wrong,
I can'’t do this, I'’m married."

But it was consensual?

At this point, completely.

At least, so I thought.

AMANDA:
So you thought?

I now believe she put
something in my drinks.

This was so out of character
for me, I'’m convinced she...

Alden, come on!AMANDA: Oh, what, okay.
You think that she

drugged you, Mr. Mills?ALDEN: Either with the
date-rap drug or something.

Did you black out?No, I never lost consciousness,

but...

I wasn'’t myself.

And I was loopy. Look,
I was definitely kissing back.

My hands were roving
as much as hers but...

suddenly, she had
my pants down.

And that'’s where
I drew the line.

I said "whoa, whoa."
But she didn'’t stop.

And then, all of a sudden,
she was...

...performing oral sex on me.

AMANDA:
Excuse me?It lasted seconds

because I jumped back,
I was so startled.

I said "I can'’t, I'’m married."

She giggled and said, "Sorry."

And we started kissing again.

And then I fell back
onto the sofa.

Like I said,

I was light-headed and loopy.

And before I even realized,
she was on top of me, and...

...I was inside her.

You were having intercourse.

ALDEN: I would say she was
having intercourse.

I was laying there.

You were just laying there?

I think I said,
"No, this can'’t happen.

This can'’t happen."

But she didn'’t stop, and then...

Then what?

Then what, Mr. Mills?

I climaxed.

Come in.

I'’m still having a
hard time understanding

this Felony Murder Rule.

Well, basically, it'’s
a prosecutor'’s tool.

It allows them to skip over
proving elements of the crime.

Intent is a big element
of any homicide.

Now, here, obviously, Seth
didn'’t mean to harm the victim,

and possibly none of
the boys did.

But with felony murder, all the
prosecution has to show

is that they were committing
an underlying felony,

and something bad resulted.

Even when it'’s
completely unforeseeable?

I understand if
a person commits arson

and somebody inadvertently
dies, but here,

this band has been doing this
initiation thing for 50 years.

Nobody'’s even been hurt.

This kid died of a heart attack.

It'’s not fair.

It'’s why almost all
of countries who used to

have this rule have now
abolished it.

But here in the United States,

in order to get rid of it,

you would have to have a member
of Congress amend the law.

And none of them
wants to do that,

because they don'’t want to be
accused of being soft on crime.

It sucks, I won'’t kid you.

But that'’s what
we'’re up against.

I don'’t dispute
Alden'’s version of events.

They pretty much
happened as he said.

Except for the notion that
the sex wasn'’t consensual.

Who undid his trousers?

Well, everything
was happening so fast,

I believe that it was his hands
that were on my breasts,

and the ones that were
on his belt were mine.

TOMMY:
And as for the oral sex?

I might have taken a little bit
of an initiative there.

In fact, he jumped back,
didn'’t he?

[gentle laugh]This is funny?

This is anything but
funny, Mr. Jefferson.

I'’m being sued.But you smiled just the same.

CECILIA: I smiled
at the suggestion

that he was either
horrified or unappreciative.

Why did he jump back, then?

Married men often do
the "I'’m faithful" dance

right before they
commit adultery.

You'’ve been with
married men before?

Objection. Rape Shield.No, no, no, no.

Rape Shield doesn'’t
apply in civil cases.
It'’s open season.

You'’ve been with
married men before?

It'’s happened.

How many?Objection.

It'’s fair game, Counsel.
Welcome to our world.

How many?

Two, three.

Which is it?Three.

Could I have
their names, please?

Look, I really don'’t want
to hurt these men.

Oh, in that case... tough.
Names, please?

This is over.Fine, we'’ll go to the judge,
move for costs, get an order,

and do it all over again.You will not use this
as a fishing expedition.

That'’s exactly
what I'’ll do.

AMANDA:
Let'’s go, Cecilia.

Oh, gee.
Sam, what a nice surprise.

You threw me
under the bus, Harry.

They staged a mutiny, threw me
right under the Greyhound,

and you raised your hand.

Look, you know me,
I'’d be more than delighted

to toss you under the bus
and drive the bus.

But that'’s not
what I was doing.

Ever since you
took that nail...

Sam, you'’re not well.

I'’m happy.

I appreciate the little things
in life in a way I haven'’t.

Do you know what I did
the other day?

I took out the lawn sprinkler--

you know, the old kind,

the one that goes back
and forth,

the ones we used to
jump through, as kids,

on hot summer days.

I set it up,

pulled out a lawn chair, poured
myself a glass of wine...

and I just watched it sprinkle.

Back and forth.

Back and forth.
Back and forth.

[sighs]

It was joyous.

Do you remember
those days, Harry?

I do.

Sam, you need to
get some help.

I'’m fine.

I am the most fine
I'’ve been in a long time.

♪ ♪

You want me to toss
the Felony Murder Rule?

For this case, yes.

This rule has been designed
as a prosecutorial shortcut

to get convictions for people
when there is no evidence...

Ms. Korn, I'’m not about to throw
out the Felony Murder Rule.

Judge, its application here is
ludicrous.

I want you to watch this tape.
It'’s been edited together

with various cell phone
recordings of the event

made by the band members
themselves.

BAND:
Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-
whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-

whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo-
whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo!

[band cheering]

[cheering, whooping]

[band cheering, applauding]

BOY:
Yeah, yeah!

Ryan?

Ryan, look at me.

BOY:
What'’s going on? You all right?

Call 911!

What you saw was primarily
a celebratory ritual.

And when it became clear
that Ryan was in distress,

the mood shifted to concern
and then to rescue.

Your Honor,
she'’s arguing the elements.

No, I'’m just establishing
a context.

And I'’m not denying that
violence happened there;

brutal violence.

The public is outraged,
the story'’s gone viral,

you got of the media calling out
for blood justice,

and as a result, you'’ve
got a DA'’s Office

under pressure
to get that justice.

I mean, what he really wants
here is

Involuntary Manslaughter.

And he'’s using the Felony Murder
Rule as a means to plea bargain.

It'’s bad faith.
And many members

of the band never so much
as threw a punch,

He knows that,
and he'’s seeking murder?

I'’ve offered many of these band
members complete outs,

including your client.

Only if he would give you
testimony to hang

the others, which he couldn'’t
because he had his eyes closed!

You'’re using the Felony Murder
Rule as a weapon to extort.

It'’s blackmail; it'’s either
manslaughter or prison

for potential life-- I mean,
what the hell is that?

Maybe you should talk
to the mother of the boy

who was beaten to death
by this swarm...

Okay, the boy had
a coronary.

I'’m sure that
was foreseeable, right?

18-year-olds have heart attacks
every day!

All right, Ms. Korn,
I get your point.

Mr. Cruickshank,
how do you respond?

Ms. Korn doesn'’t like
the Felony Murder Rule,

thinks it should be repealed.
Fine.

Her recourse is
with the legislature.

Your job, Your Honor, is to
interpret and apply the law.

Ms. Korn would like
you to rewrite it.

That is not your job nor,
fortunately, your right.

Now, as to whether
the Felony Murder Rule has

been misapplied here,
I think not.

Yes, the cause of death here,
medically speaking,

was a coronary. So what?

The statute applies to deaths
that are accidental

as well as deliberate.

So, yes, if a victim has a heart
attack during a robbery

and dies, those robbers can be
charged with Felony Murder.

The same is true for when
the victim is a young man

who'’s been beaten by a gang
of 39,

which this victim was.

And speaking of gangs, we'’ve had
many deaths recently

from gang jumping-in
initiations,

almost exactly like this.

A young man decides
to join a gang,

goes through the initiation
known as "jumping-in,"

where other
gang members punch him.

On occasion,
the result is death.

And we punish for murder.

But here, because the violent
gang members wear uniforms,

go to college
and play trumpets...

we supposed to smile and
just say, "Boys will be boys"?

I think not.

The Felony Murder Rule hurts
Ms. Korn'’s client,

so she doesn'’t like it.

An innocent boy is dead.

I don'’t like that.

I believe there'’s a few more
folks on my side of the fence.

ADAM: Doesn'’t
look good, Harry.

The judge cut me off.

Said I'’d made my points

when I hadn'’t made
all my points.

He cut me off.

Well, if you have more
to say, I'’d say it.

He'’s not about to let me
make another statement.

Well, give him a chance.

Harry, if the Felony

Murder Rule stays,

Seth Carlson is looking
at prison.

If you get it quashed,
he probably walks free.

That'’s true for a lot
of those boys.

As they say in sports, you need
to leave it all on the field.

We haven'’t given up.

We'’re still investigating.

But...?

It'’s our opinion...

Alden, you took her home.

The sex-- at least the beginning
of it-- was consensual.

I think you need
to let this one go.

I'’m sorry.

Would you say that to a woman?

By starting
to get physical,

she loses the right
to say "stop"?

You would never say that.

No, I wouldn'’t.

Then why?

I had it coming?

'’Cause I went inside,
I deserved it?

We draw different presumptions
with men.

Fair or not, we do.

And the presumption here
would be against you.

You need to let it go.

Do you really think
I'’d be here if I could?

How do you tell a rape victim...

"just let it go"?

A band?
What kind of a band is that?

A band that brutally beats
a fellow band member to death?

And what kind of a lawyer would

possibly, morally
be able to defend them?

They'’re like a pack
of wild animals.

But we have a name for that
kind of lawyer, don'’t we?

They'’re called "Harrys"--
specifically, Harry Korns.

Hey, here'’s an idea for a show.

Viciously murder somebody,
and then try to go free.

We could call it "Harry'’s Law."
A nice family show.

Hey, you could put it on Sunday
nights at 8:00. Perfect!

Tommy, we'’re never gonna
make this float.

It was consensual
right up to the point

where he says it wasn'’t.

This isn'’t even close.

Here'’s what I don'’t get.

Our guy'’s got money,
he'’s not suing to get rich.

By suing, he has
to tell his wife, his kids,

he risks losing his family.

What'’s his motive?

It could only be
that he'’s telling the truth.

BAILIFF:
All rise.

I'’m not getting
a good feeling.

BAILIFF:
Be seated.

All right, my finding...

I'’m sorry, Judge,
I really feel I wasn'’t allowed

to complete my argument,
and I would like to do so now.

Are you sure? You might want
to quit while you'’re ahead.

Oh. Am I ahead?

No. My finding...

Then I have more to say.

Counsel...

This whole thing is a joke.

There is no way
that this matter should be

consolidated like this.

We have 39 defendants.

Some of them have different,
possibly conflicting stories.

And the only reason
for lumped all together here is

so the State can save money.

It'’s bad enough that
we'’re using a rule

to convict kids of crimes
they didn'’t commit,

but to not give them their
proper day in court?!

Are you done?

No, I'’m not done!
These are kids!

Were some of them guilty

of Criminal Assault?

Absolutely.
But many of them were not,

and they were engaged
in a ritual that had all

but been institutionalized
at this college.

The school knew about it,

they could have stopped it,
but they didn'’t,

probably because they considered
it to be fairly harmless.

But after one isolated tragic
outcome and a public up in arms,

suddenly heads must roll.

I mean, they'’re brought up on
First-Degree Murder!

Not Negligent Homicide,
not Reckless Disregard,

but First-Degree Murder!

You should be ashamed
of yourself.

There is no possible stretching
of the facts

that gets you
to First Degree here.

Which is why you employ
this preposterous device

known as the
Felony Murder Rule.

It'’s offensive to the principle
innocent till proven guilty.

It'’s an insult to due process.

It has nothing
to do with justice.

And it'’s a flat-out atrocity

to the lives
of these young people,

many of whom have done
absolutely nothing.

And contrary to Mr.
Cruickshank'’s suggestion,

you doget a say as to whether
a law is legitimate.

That'’s why you'’re a judge.

You wear that robe
for many reasons,

the first being to protect us
from overreaching,

oppressive laws, of which the
Felony Murder Rule is one.

NowI'’m done.

Please, the guy ejaculated.

It'’s like a woman
having an orgasm

and claims she was raped.

You think that'’s impossible?

Or course I do.

Not.

I prosecuted a few cases
where the victim

involuntarily climaxed.

It'’s really rare,
but say what you were gonna say.

No, I got nothing to say.

That isn'’t true, is it?

Cassie, if she had an orgasm,
that means...

It means what, that'’s it'’s one
of the more enjoyable rapes?

No, I didn'’t say that.

A man grabs a woman,
he throws her down,

he forces himself
on her at knifepoint,

she physically orgasms,
and that'’s not rape?

Sure, it is.

I'’m going home.

Wait. Does this mean
I'’m not coming?

Oh, not with me, you'’re not.

[door opens]

[footsteps approaching]

This is Mr. Jon Dowdy.

He'’s the gentleman that brought
Cecilia to the party

where she met our client.

These are my colleagues,
Mr. Richard and Mr. Jefferson.

Could you tell them
what you just told me?

All of it?

You can give them
a shorter version.

Okay.

Well, as I said--

and this was not my
idea being here--

Ms. Reynolds came to me.

Go ahead.

Well, as I told your colleague,

Cecilia was a pretty kinky girl,
which was fine by me.

I'’d just come out
of a long-term relationship

and was looking for some fun,

and she seemed more
than willing to...

So, I mean, anyway,
the first time,

she kind of took the bull by
the horn, if you get my meaning.

I don'’t.
Could you be more specific?

Well, we'’d come back to my
place, had a drink or two,

cut to my clothes are off,
and she'’s on top of me.

It was like a
fantasy, sort of.

You know what I mean, a woman
that looks like that, just...

When she met your
client at the party

and seemed more
interested in him,

I just figured, "Easy
come, easy go," you know?

Could you tell them
the other part?

They can keep a secret.

Okay.

Well... ordinarily,
I don'’t perform well.

I get a little anxiety,
and I, uh...

But not this night.

I mean, I was fully...
to be honest,

I was bigger than...

I think she laced my drink
with a little Viagra.

I asked her, and
she didn'’t say no.

She just smiled and said,

"Let'’s just let the magic
of the night..." Whatever,

I don'’t remember what she said.

I was just hoping for a little
bit more of the magic.

You think there'’s a chance

she put something else
in your drink?

Actually, I think she did.

I was a little foggy,
which is unfortunate,

'’cause I'’d like
to remember every detail.

Look, as I told
Ms. Reynolds,

I'’d prefer to keep this
under the radar.

I mean,
there'’s no way

I'’m gonna repeat this in any
public or formal... you know?

He'’s lying.

Why would he lie, Cecilia?

His story coincides exactly
with Alden'’s accusation.

CECILIA:
Well, Alden is wrong,

and so is Jon.
The sex was consensual.

No, it was not!

Alden... I have a family!

There are consequences
to this!

Well, then why were
you with me?I shouldn'’t have been,

but there'’s a line,
and I never would'’ve crossed it!

You drugged me!All right.

You said this was part

of a settlement discussion.

What is it you'’re looking for?

I want an acknowledgment
and an apology.

What does it
matter what...?

It matters to me;
I need to know!

Okay, I am not about to advise
my client to admit to a crime,

so if that'’s
the endgame here...

TOMMY: He doesn'’t care
about the prosecution,

he just wants her to acknowledge

what she did.
Why?

Because I do!Alden, you need
to take it down a notch.

That'’s all you'’re
looking for?

It stays sealed?

It never has to leave this room.
Isn'’t that right, Alden?

Yes.
I don'’t care about...

I just want her to admit it
and to apologize.

And if you ask me why it matters
to me one more time,

I willgo to the police.

She apologizes,
and this is over.

Done.

Okay.

I apologize.

I thought you
might like the thrill

of being
seduced, taken.

And being married, I thought
you might also appreciate...

Well, you could always
rationalize this wasn'’t

something that you did...

but something that
was done to you.

CASSIE:
You could have killed him.

If he'’d been taking nitrates,
the combination with Viagra...

Okay, I know
that his heart was fine.

We'’d talked about our respective
training regimens.

I'’m sorry, Alden.

I suppose I'’ve been objectified
and pawed and even groped

ever since I was 16.

So, maybe on some level,

I wanted to take the power.

CECILIA [on-screen]:
I'’m sorry, Alden.

I suppose I'’ve been objectified
and pawed and groped

ever since I was 16.

Well, I'’m sure
the DA can build a case now.AMANDA: What?!

This is sealed. Oh, yeah, I lied about that.

Tommy, this is
a settlement meeting. Right.

Which means I can'’t use
the information against her,

but the police can.

You can'’t do that. Oh, but I can.

Your only recourse
would be to sue me,

but you'’ll probably have
to do so from jail.

Hey, check this out.

All right, let'’s try this again.

After careful consideration,

I find the application of the
Felony Murder Rule in this case

to be overbroad and misplaced.

That count against
all defendants is dropped.

[applause, cheering]

[cheering]

[gavel banging]

Settle down.

Take your seats
or you will be removed.

All the other charges stand.

Mr. Cruickshank,
I would encourage you

to pare this prosecution down to
focus on the primary offenders,

otherwise we will all be here
for a very long time.

And I'’m not sure
I could take that.

Adjourned.

[applause]Unbelievable.

Mm-hmm, I told you
she was good.

So, what happens now?

Well, the DA will have to do
some serious regrouping,

but with any luck,
your nightmare'’s over.

WOMAN:
Honey...

[footsteps approaching]

Tommy, this is wrong.

I know.

The client was satisfied
with the apology.

I called Amanda and told
her, the case is over.

Good work, Cassie,
digging up that other guy.

Well, I didn'’t have to dig.

I just keep my mind open to the
idea that maybe someone...

Yeah, well, anyway,
thanks again.

Well done, Harry.

Not sure if it was chess,
checkers or Parcheesi,

but you sure as hell
got the job done.

Well done.

Well, thanks, Sam.

Huh.

Is there anything else?

No.

Okay.

Well, see you later.

[chuckling]

Hey, how about we
get a drink sometime?

A drink?!

Yeah.

A drink, have a couple
of laughs, why not?

Sam, I haven'’t been asked out
since the Carter Administration.

What I can remember,
it goes something like...

[scoffs]
how it'’s going now.

Are you asking me out?

Why not?

You'’re a wonderful lady.

And I'’m quite partial
to wonderful ladies.

♪ ♪

You taped the woman?

It happens.

You could get disbarred
for that kind of stunt.

I didn'’t use it.

We settled it.

I just wanted to give
that woman a scare.

She got off light, Harry.

She raped him.

Let me ask you something.

What do you think of
this Phoebe girl?

She'’s all right, I guess.

What does Adam think of her?

Why are you asking?

Oh, for God'’s sake.

That kid'’s got a problem,

I'’m telling you.
Mm.

He gets smitten by anything
that smiles at him.

I tell you, Harry...
it'’s their world.

Kids.

It'’s their world.

Mm...

[no voice]

Well, maybe there'’s hope, then.
