(siren blows)

(sighs)

Okay, let's try
this again.

After you got

to Justin Fitzpatrick's
apartment, what did you do?

What about when
the cops found you

at Justin's apartment
afterwards?

Did you say anything
to the arresting officer?

You know, Darlene,
it's going to help me a lot

if you say something.

Hey, I ain't doing this
'cause I want to.

I got this court-appointed.
You know what that means?

A judge told me
I had to take it--

No pay, no headlines,
and I got to tell you,

it looks open and shut.
So, if you want me to go in

and say something
to the judge and jury,

you got to give it to me.

You want to know
what happened?

In your words, yes.

Justin Fitzpatrick
raped me.

I got a gun, I went up
to his apartment,

and I killed him.

Take that to the judge
and jury.

(music playing)

(horn blows)

When did you
first notice it?

Mm, like three days ago.
It was red and sore.

I thought
I scraped it somehow.

Well, you're right.
It is infected.

But, Lucy,
this is a bite mark.

What, like a spider?

Not a spider. It's human.

Did somebody bite you?

Excuse me?

This is a human bite mark.

If someone bit me,
I think I'd know.

Well, has anybody
been in the area recently?

Yeah, my boyfriend,
but he doesn't bite.

Are you sure?

He is so conservative.
He, um, he doesn't bite.

Well, I suggest
you ask him.

You've been bitten.

In the meantime,

let's get you started
on some antibiotics.

You go in there
with that attitude

and "the bastard got
what he deserved" line,

and they're going
to put you away for life.

They're going to
put me away no matter--

Not if we can mitigate.

What are you going to do
that's so genius?

I'm going to let them know

how you weren't thinking
straight, for one.

But I was.

Let me explain this.
Revenge doesn't justify murder,

no matter what the guy
did to you first.

But after a person
has been violated

like he did to you,

they might not be clearheaded
for a long time after.

But that wasn't--

Listen to me.

What I'm thinking
could've happened is

after Jason raped you,
you were upset, confused--

I was angry.

Exactly. You were angry,

not in your right mind.

That's what you're trying
to say, right?

Is that what
you want me to say?

Look...

you want to make me
some kind of bad guy,

go ahead.
I'm just trying to help.

You're the one facing
murder one,

and as it stands now,
you're going down.

What's going on?

I have this lesion
on my breast.

What?

It's not cancer.
Don't worry.

It's just, like,
kind of a cut.

This is so embarrassing
to ask you,

but you have to be totally
honest with me, okay?

Of course.

Last week after our date,

you were, you know, kind of
fooling around in that area.

You let me.

I'm not saying
it wasn't consensual.

I'm-- look, while you
were kissing my...

did you bite me?

What?

The doctor said--
Did I bite you?

Shh. Not so loud.

I didn't bite you.

Are you sure?

Of course, I'm sure.
I didn't bite you.

Look, I'm not angry if
you did. I just need to--

I didn't. Lucy, I promise.
I never bit you.

Malcolm, you were the only guy
that I've been with--

I didn't. I swear.

Well, if you didn't,
then... who did?

JIMMY: For some reason,
I like her,

even though she hates me.

And even though
she's a murderer.

She's a student, no priors.
She's not a bad kid at all.

How long after the rape
did this happen?

She waited an hour.

And she emptied
her gun into him.

REBECCA: It seems like
revenge to me.

What about temp insanity?

I listed it as a defense,

but she doesn't want
to go that route.

She says she was
in her right mind.

Well, she's not, if that's
what she wants to go with.

Look, if she won't cooperate,
ask the judge to be let out.

I tried it already.
He said no.

I'm the fourth lawyer.

Why don't you go rape trauma?
Bring in a shrink,

argue she was
in a dissociative state.

I used this Dr. Starger
last week. She was pretty good.

I don't know.

Just put the rapist on trial.
Do the best you can.

Bobby, can I talk
to you for a second?

It's important.

Well...

Actually, Ellenor, um,
I'd rather talk to you.

Please.

What's up?

Dr. Nettle-- that dentist
you recommended?

Yeah, what about him?

I think he bit me.

What do you mean,
you think he bit you?

Yeah, I got this cut

on my breast,
and it got infected.

My doctor says
it's a human bite.

It wasn't Malcolm. I asked him.
So, it had to be Dr. Nettle.

He put me out to remove
my wisdom teeth on Tuesday.

You think
Dr. Nettle bit you?

Yes.

On your breast?

I mean, there can't be
any other explanation.

How well do you know
this guy?

Well, he's Bobby's cousin,
and he recommended him to me.

We all use him.

Well, I'm telling you,
he bites.

When I got to the apartment,
she was sitting

across from the deceased
with a gun in her hand.

Yes.
The defendant?

Did you speak to her?

Objection. Hearsay.

Overruled.
Admission-- declaration
against interests.

What did she say,
officer?

She said
she shot the guy.

Did she seem lucid?

Objection-- foundation.
Calls for an opinion.

Sustained.
Lay opinion.

Did she appear calm?

Yes, she did.

Did she mention anything
about self-defense?

No, she did not.

What did Darlene Keating
look like, physically,

when you entered
the apartment?

She was bruised, some.
Black eye.

Did you know that she had been
raped by the deceased?

At that time,
no, I did not.

You didn't know
that she'd been raped?

No, I didn't.

The bruises, the black eye--
you didn't know

she got those injuries
while being raped?

The commonwealth has stipulated
the defendant was raped.

Defense counsel doesn't have
to keep saying it over and over.

It's unpleasant
to hear it?

Objection.
JUDGE STROUD: All right.

I don't mean to make you
uncomfortable.

Mr. Berluti, move along.

Are you sure?

Who else could it be?
It had to be him.

Has he ever been
inappropriate with you?

Well, not while
I'm conscious,

but he does seem
a little weird.

This isn't much evidence.

Helen, come on.
She has a bite mark.

Through the process
of elimination--

Are you absolutely positive
it wasn't your boyfriend?

He's positive,
and I believe him.

I go to this dentist, too.
He does seem a little creepy.

What is it with you people
and doctors?

Don't start.

Ellenor, your podiatrist
hacked off heads.

Jimmy's dentist likes bugs.
Now you've got one that bites.

Can you just arrest him
before he attacks somebody--

I can't just arrest him.
I haven't got any evidence.

It has to be him.

You can issue a subpoena.

You can get his files. You can
interview his other patients.

If he bit Lucy, the chances are
he nibbled on somebody else.

Her name
is Dr. Diane Starger.

You need to be
completely open with her.

Why, so she can say
I'm insane?

Look, Darlene, you think
this is some stupid game,

fine, let's call it that,
but this is how the game works.

Talk to me like I'm 5,

and I will fire you like
I fired the rest of them.

Go ahead. I like to be able
to tell my clients

I win my cases. This one here's
going to hurt my record.

I'd be happy to let
some other lawyer

come in and take the loss.

My problem is, the judge
won't let that happen.

So why don't you just listen
to what I'm going to say

before you reject it on account
of you being smarter than me?

The jury--
at least a few of them--

would love to set you free.

You were raped.
The guy had it coming.

Some of those jurors are glad,
even, that you shot him,

but they still need
a legal reason

to say not guilty.

Revenge isn't it.
Temporary insanity is.

To get
to temporary insanity,

I need a doctor.

To get a doctor,
I need you to meet with one.

Alan.

Bobby, I think I'm in some
kind of trouble.

Trouble how?

I don't know.
I just got a subpoena

to turn over my list
of patients and addresses.

Can they do that? Do I have
to give them my patient list?

That's privileged, isn't it?

Actually, no. Did they say
why they want it?

No. Here's the subpoena.
Hello, Lindsay.

Hi.

Seems legitimate.

Could it be taxes?
I pay my taxes.

Could it be taxes?

Taxes would be
a Federal warrant.

What are you doing here?

The police
have subpoenaed my files.

Yeah, you want
to know why?
Lucy, Lucy, hold on.

I know why.

I don't think anybody
should say anything here.

We have a situation.
BOBBY: What's going on?

What kind of situation?

He bit me.
That's the situation.

What, you think
I don't know?

I got infected,
you bastard.

What the hell
is going on?

I have a bite mark
on my breast,

and the doctor says
it's human.

He put me under for
my wisdom teeth on Tuesday.

He's the one
that bit me.

I know it,
and so do the police.

Alan? Alan?

I'm so ashamed.

I can't even bring myself
to look at you.

You bit my assistant?

I was just giving her
a little kiss.

I certainly never meant
to break skin.

I can't believe I did.

Bobby... I know
I need help.

I'm getting help.

I... have a sickness.

But... I can't...

have a criminal record.

I can't have-- My God.

Alan, how many women
are we talking about here?

Fondling-- very... many.

Times where I have
lifted up a blouse

and... peeked under it
and...

bitten.

Very few.

Please help me.

We need to work this out.

I don't know what
you expect me to do.

Just-- you said
it could be rape trauma.

Oh, it could be, but she
would barely talk to me.

She doesn't trust us.

Look, if I get
on that witness stand

based on a 30-minute
conversation,

the district attorney
is going to filet me.

You know that.

In which case, I'm no
worse off than I am now.

I don't think I can
help you, Mr. Berluti.

Look, you don't want
to be here. Neither do I.

But this woman
is a victim herself.

I got a feeling about her.

She needs somebody
to fight for her.

I can't conclude
rape trauma.

If you say it could
possibly be rape trauma,

get in the standard,
I'll take it from there.

Oh, in Rebecca's case,
you talked about flashbacks.

I read where rape trauma
can cause flashbacks, too.

Maybe you can get
something in on that.

That could be good.

LUCY: You're going
to represent him?

I don't know.
I'm thinking--

What do you mean,
you don't know?

You either are,
or you're not.

Ellenor, can I finish?

Without, in fact,
confirming that he bit you--

What is that
supposed to mean?
ELLENOR: Oh, my God.

Hey!
You're his lawyer.

Lucy, he's my cousin.

How can you defend him?

All right, Lucy and Lucy alone
in the conference room.

Ellenor.
Unh-unh, no, you don't.

I'm not going to let you
take advantage of her.

I don't care if you
and your sicko cousin--

I'm not taking
advantage of her!

EUGENE: Bobby I don't
think this a good idea.

You shouldn't be
representing him!

Lucy, I am so sorry.

All right, quiet. Don't you
be saying anything.

Back in my office now.

How can you do this?

Bobby, you can't
represent him.

We stick together
in this office, Bobby.

If he molested Lucy--

you think it's in Lucy's
interest to go to trial on this?

Look, you can't advise her
if you're his attorney.

Bobby, my office.

Eugene--

Now.

What are you thinking?

We can get
double waivers. We--

He's my cousin.
He needs help.

What about Lucy?

I'm thinking of her, too.

Both sides are served
by keeping this out of court.

He bit her
while she was unconscious.

If this is prosecuted,
of course, I won't defend him,

but whoever does
will be attacking Lucy.

She'll be the chief
prosecutorial witness.

It's in everybody's interest
to make this go away.

Well, it could be
too late for that.

Helen's interrogating
patients.

I just can't turn my back
on the guy.

You and Ellenor
represent Lucy.

Make sure she's protected.

Yeah, we damn well
will protect her,

and you won't get
any special treatment.

I'm not asking for any.
Let's just get in a room.

I'm saying it's possible

that she was suffering
from rape trauma syndrome.

Rape trauma syndrome--
could you explain that?

It's an emotional
psychological reaction

to the experience
of having been raped.

The patient can actually
go into a dissociative state.

What's that mean?

It means she wouldn't know
what she was doing.

So, she maybe didn't know
what she was doing

when she got the gun
and shot Mr. Fitzpatrick?

Well, we no longer
look at memory

in terms of short-term
and long-term.

We now realize that
there is procedural memory,

which is where
in our minds

we process
how to do things,

and then there's
the semantic memory,

which provides the why.

now, in the case
of Ms. Keating,

it's possible that she
was procedurally able

to obtain a weapon
and use it,

but the ability
to process that action

within the context
of understanding

right and wrong
simply wasn't there.

She acted out of instinct,
out of fear.

Fear? If she was afraid
of Mr. Fitzpatrick,

why did she go
to his apartment alone?

Well, sometimes
when a person

is in a state of being
paralyzed by fear,

they react in what is known
as a counterphobic fashion.

I'm a little lost.

When she was face to face
with her attacker once again,

it caused a series
of flashbacks.

And if she was once again
in the moment of her rape,

then she may have once again
been afraid for her life.

And in that fear,
she reacted in the only way

that she perceived to be
available to her at the time.

She shot him.

You don't know
Ms. Keating suffered

from rape trauma syndrome,
do you, doctor?

To a medical certainty--
no, I can't say that.

How long have
you been treating her?

I've only had
one interview.

When was that?
That was this morning.

Yes.
About an hour ago?

How many rape victims
have you worked with?

Hundreds.

How many of them
have killed their attackers,

other than Ms. Keating?

None.

You testified Ms. Keating

could have been
in a dissociative state

when she shot and killed
Justin Fitzpatrick.

Isn't it also possible

that this could have been
an act of vengeance?

That's possible.

You'll have to testify.

Obviously, things aren't
going great here.

So, what do you
want me to do,

act all insane up there?

Talk to my dead mother?
Would that be good?

Your only chance here
is to trust me.

If you can't
give me that...

Why do you care?

That's one
I can't answer.

You need to act sorry.

I don't like
coaching witnesses,

but it wouldn't be
the worst thing in the world

if you cried a little.

Under the law, Darlene,
you're guilty of the crime.

That doesn't mean it's over.

Juries have been known to look
the other way on occasion,

but they've got to want to.

If you could cry,
it wouldn't hurt.

How many does that make?

Okay, thanks, Mike.

Well, 17 women patients
were interviewed.

None can report
any misconduct.

How many patients
did he put under?

Some. Police aren't
dropping the investigation,

but so far,
Lucy's all we got.

Looks tough.

All right.

I was coming home
from class.

It must have been
around 10:00 at night.

When I got near my building,
I saw Justin on the stoop.

You knew Justin Fitzpatrick?

Only from being hassled by him.
He lived in my building.

Did you notice anything
unusual about him this night?

He smelled of alcohol.
Other than that...

tell the court
what happened.

I just tried
to get by him,

but as I went past,
he grabbed my ankle,

asked me if I thought
I was too good for him.

What did you do?

I told him to let go.
He didn't,

so, I kicked at him.
I hit his chin.

He let go then
'cause I guess I hurt him.

He was swearing and all.

I got to the door
and unlocked it.

I got into the foyer and tried
to close the door behind me,

but it wouldn't close
fast enough.

What happened next?

He forced his way in,

started yelling at me
to apologize.

Were you scared?

Yeah. I mean,

he's got like a 100 pounds
on me or something.

Anyway, I told him
to leave me alone again.

That's when he grabbed me

and said he'd leave me
alone, all right.

I tried to hit him
with my book,

but he grabbed it
out of my hand and said

he'd show me what
it was like to be hit,

and, uh, he started hitting me
in the face with the book.

I could taste blood
in my mouth,

like that metal taste.

And then I must have
passed out,

'cause the next thing
I remember--

it was dark,

and he was...

he was on top of me...

inside me.

Raping you?

Yes.

I screamed, but he just
hit me again. No one came.

I found out later we were
down in the boiler room.

He just kept
pushing himself...

and pushing...

and pushing.

And when he was done,
he just stood up and said...

He said
I wasn't a bad lay.

Did he say
anything else?

Yeah.

He said if I wanted some more,
he was just upstairs.

Did you feel threatened
when he said that?

Yeah, it was like
he was saying

he could do it any time,
you know?

What did you do then?

I don't--

it was kind of hazy,

like I was dreaming
or something.

Best you can remember.

I cleaned my face,
changed.

Why didn't you call
the police?

I don't know.

Why didn't you go
to the hospital?

I don't know. I just--
all I could think...

I was going to my grandma's,
and I didn't want her

to see me all messed up,
to know I'd been...

How come?

'Cause she practically
raised me.

But wouldn't she want
to help you?

I guess. I don't know.

She raised me
to be a good catholic,

a good person.

And good people
aren't crime victims?

Not like this.

So, what did you do?

After... I cleaned myself...

I sat on my bed
maybe for a half-hour or so.

Then I got my gun.

I keep it
in the nightstand.

And I went upstairs
to his apartment.

I knocked on the door.

No one answered,
so, I knocked again.

Then it opened,

and he was standing there.

I pointed the gun,
and he went to back up.

I think he was saying,
"no, no, no,"

and I started shooting.

(gunshot)

He fell to the ground,
and I kept shooting

till there weren't
any more bullets.

I think I pulled the trigger
a few times after that.

(gun clicking)

I have $85,000 in equity
in my home.

As soon as I can refinance,
that money is yours.

That's cheap.

The jury will hit you
a lot harder than that.

Present day value,
legal fees--

$85,000 cash today is worth
a $300,000 verdict, Eugene.

So, he'll just get off?

And I don't mean that
like a pun, you perv.

Lucy, I am already
in treatment.

If I could just find the words
to convey my remorse--

I'd say, "bite me,"
but you've already done that.

BOBBY: All right.

What assurance do we have

that he's not going to continue
doing this to other patients?

That really isn't
the concern here.

We're making it our concern.

He's already agreed
to have a hygienist

or a female assistant
in the room with him

at all times
during any procedure.

How is that enforceable?

Okay, this is how
it's got to be.

You sign a statement which
amounts to a full confession.

I keep it in my desk drawer.

You agree
not to put patients under.

If any want anesthesia, you
send them to another dentist.

You also agree to random
reviews of your records

and interviews
with your employees

to make sure no patients
are being put under.

If you violate the terms,

we go to the D. A.
with the confession.

That seems
a little extreme.

Only way it's going to be,
Bobby.

If Lucy agrees.

We still have to talk it over
with her.

Why don't you go discuss it
with your cousin?

(door opens)

(door closes)

If this goes to trial,

I don't see us
getting a conviction.

You were unconscious.

Reasonable doubt's
a gimme.

Plus, you'd be the one
they put on trial.

Bobby said he'd pass it off,

but whatever defense
attorney gets it,

he's going to have to
go after you.

Your sex life...

I'm not afraid.

I know you're not.

But I'd take these conditions,
plus the $85,000.

I'm sure you could
use the money, Lucy.

I don't know, Bobby.

It feels like
a form of servitude.

To avoid criminal prosecution,
you should be jumping.

Don't even hesitate here.

Thank you for standing
by me, Bobby,

for defending me.

I'm not defending
what you did.

I'm helping
a sick relative.

That's the way
I look at it.

If you don't get treatment
and continue with this,

I'll personally recommend
criminal prosecution.

Those are my terms.

(horn blows)

After the rape,
you didn't call the police.

You didn't
go to the hospital.

That's right.

You decided you wanted
to keep it to yourself?

I didn't want to live my life
as a rape victim,

having people
treat me different.

So, you decided to get a
gun and shoot him

so that people wouldn't
treat you different.

BERLUTI:
Objection-- argumentative.

Sustained.

You cleaned up first,

you sat on your bed
for a half-hour,

then you got the gun.
Yes.

You walked up
three flights of stairs...

yes.

Knocked on the door,

when he opened it,
you shot him.

Yes.

He didn't have a weapon
when you shot him.
No.

And as you testified,

he was backing up
when you opened fire.
Yes.

You seem sure.

It happened
exactly like this?
Yes.

You're completely clear.
Yes.

Your memory couldn't be fuzzy?
It happened like I said.

Before you said it was hazy,
like a dream.

Is your recollection
clear or hazy?

It's clear.

Then why did you say it was
hazy if it's clear?

Should I ask again?

Why did you say it's hazy
if your memory's clear?

Because my lawyer thinks I have
a better chance of being
acquitted.

Have you been coached
by your lawyer?
Objection!

Objection! This is work--

I am entitled to explore whether
the witness has been coached.

Objection!
Move to strike!

All right, quiet.
I'll ask a few questions.

Ms. Keating,
did your attorney instruct you

to give untruthful answers?

Yes.

Your honor--

Mr. Berluti, sit down.

He told me to cry.

He told me to get up here
and say how sorry I am.

Well, I'm not sorry.

Your honor--

I want to give my testimony!
I want my day in court!

He raped me, and I am not sorry
for killing him.

And if he were suddenly
made alive today,

I would go looking for my gun
so, I could kill him again.

I only wish
he'd suffered more.

I put him out
of his misery too fast,

and that is all
I'm sorry about.

That is my testimony.

You don't want the jury
to feel sorry for you?

Good. I don't, either.
Get ready for prison, Darlene.

Get out of my face.

You're going to do life,
the rest of your life,

'cause you don't want
to ask for pity.

Damn right.

I can't help you--
I don't want your help!

Why don't you cry?

I hurt your win/loss record.
Why don't you go cry?

You put a psychiatrist
up there to talk about me,

she doesn't know me,
and neither do you.

You don't know
the first thing!

I've been feeling
bad for you,

but you just
don't get it.

I'm done feeling
bad for you.

Good. Beat it.

(music playing)

You did everything
you could, Jimmy.

She's a good person.
I know it.

Never committed a crime
in her life before this.

REBECCA: The D. A. won't
give you manslaughter?

Not at this point.

That's why I hate
court appointments.

They're never grateful.

Good day in court?

Bobby, I'm giving you
my two weeks.

What?

I think I need
to quit.

Come in my office.

No.

No, I'm not going in there
for one of your pep talks.

I go for actions
over words.

He's family, Lucy,
and we worked out

a good result for you.
Ask Ellenor, Eugene.

I know.

I got a good deal.

Then what?

I don't like it that
I'm supposed to sit here

feeling like I got
a good deal.

I don't like it
that my boss is asking me

to feel compassion for
the man that assaulted me,

and I don't like it
that I feel

like I'm disappointing you
by being angry at the guy.

You're not
disappointing me.

That's how it feels.

I mean, you're feeling
sorry for him,

and you're feeling
sorry for me.

Look, I know that you guys
all teamed up

and worked this out,
a lot to my benefit,

and I'm grateful.

I guess I didn't want
things worked out.

I guess I don't really want
to be feeling grateful
at the moment,

and I--

(door slams)

(horn blows)

I think it's a mistake.

So, you're saying
you won't arrest him?

I'm not saying that,
but with you being

the only complaining witness,
unconscious one at that--

He admitted doing it.

That was a settlement
negotiation.

He can still deny it
at trial.

Look, Lucy,
if you want to push this,

I will back you
so long as you know

how uphill the fight is,
that you will be attacked--

I know. Look, I can't
just quietly settle this.

$85,000 is a lot of money.

He's a criminal.

Okay.

You've got yourself a D. A.

Thank you.

Mr. Berluti?

Mr. Berluti?
We'll hear from you.

I'm not sure
I got much to say.

We all heard
Darlene Keating.

Said she was clearheaded.

Said she'd
do it again, even.

Of course, I guess anybody
who'd say that at her own trial

is anything but clearheaded.

I've been trying,
the last few days,

to get her to act sorry.

But she didn't
kill the guy out of sorrow.

She was angry,

and I suddenly realized
we've all been trying

to take that anger
away from her.

And she's been trying
to tell me,

and, yesterday, you,

she's entitled to it.

A man raped her--
brutally raped her.

If she's entitled
to anything, it's anger.

Did it justify revenge?
No.

The law doesn't permit that,

but the law doesn't demand that
she conceal her rage, either.

The law doesn't say,
"keep your anger to yourself."

The law doesn't say,
"let everybody see you cry."

I've been wanting
to turn her into a victim

'cause that's
how we're comfortable

looking at women
who get raped--

victims, ashamed.

Darlene Keating
is nobody's victim.

Not mine, not yours,

not Justin Fitzpatrick's.

Did she have
the legal right

to kill the man
who raped her?

No.

But she lost herself
that night,

ladies and gentlemen.

I think she's still lost.

A man forced himself
inside her

and kept pushing himself
and pushing himself,

and she reacted
with severe anger-- rage.

Who wouldn't?

You been there?
You?

We're all sitting here,

projecting what's a normal
reaction to being raped,

expecting her to just cry.

How about call the police?

Now, that's a normal reaction.

Revenge murder isn't.

Victims of violent crimes
don't get a free pass

to commit homicides,
ladies and gentlemen.

And for the record,

rage hadn't overcome
this woman's state of mind.

No, she washed herself first.

She sat on her bed calmly.

She was calm
when the police got there.

If anything, she acted
with a lot of poise.

By her very own testimony,
she acted out of revenge.

Some of you may be cheering
for her. I get that.

I mean, there's one less
rapist on the street

because of Darlene Keating.

Emotionally, vigilantism
often feels good.

But as much
as you might be glad

that Justin Fitzpatrick
is dead,

as much as it gives you
satisfaction

that this bastard
got his due,

the only question
you have to ask yourself is

do you really think

that she didn't know
right from wrong

when she pulled that trigger?

Be honest with this court.

Be honest with yourself.

(crowd chattering)

They are allowing me to
surrender you at the courthouse.

At least you won't be hauled in
in handcuffs.

I can't believe
this is happening.

Alan, I'll handle
the arraignment,

but then you're going to have
to get another attorney.

But if she doesn't
work here anymore--

Doesn't matter. No one here is
going to be challenging
Lucy in court.

We tried to settle this
without a fight,

but now that it is one...

Could you recommend somebody?

I'd prefer not to.

Will I be convicted?

You said the settlement
conference is sealed, right?

It's her word against mine.

Yes, but I'm sure they're hoping
other women will come forward.

This isn't fair!

I know I brought it
on myself, but...

Bobby, I never
hurt anybody.

Alan, you did.

You gave her an infection,

leave aside
the sexual assault.

It's-- well,
when they're so big--

I-I have to work so close.

I hover right over them
when I'm working.

They're--
they're right there...

for the touching.

I just...
need to touch them.

Alan, you did more
than touch them.

I just held it in my hand...

and it was so beautiful.

Lucy, she's a little,
little girl with--

they're so beautiful.

Alan, um...

I'll see you through
the arraignment,

but then you need
to find other counsel.

I never meant to hurt her.

Would the defendant
please rise?

Madame Foreperson,
you have reached a verdict?

We have, your honor.

What say you?

Case number 4251--

Commonwealth
vs. Darlene Keating

on the charge of murder
in the second degree--

We find the defendant
Darlene Keating guilty.

JUDGE: Members of the jury,
this concludes your service.

You are dismissed.

Bailiff, take the defendant
into custody.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

(music playing)

WOMAN: Case number 62463--

Commonwealth vs. Alan Nettle--
sexual battery.

Bobby Donnell for the defendant,
your honor. Waive reading.

Helen Gamble for the
commonwealth, your honor.

I'd like to wrap this up
right here.

Be my guest. Court's
adjourned till tomorrow.

Look, plead guilty
to misdemeanor battery.

I'll recommend
straight probation,

conditioned on counseling.

Really?

Lucy okay with that?

She just wants
a guilty finding.

We'll take it.

Let me consult my client,
but... we'll take it.

Okay.

This could be over
before it starts.

Plead guilty--
no time, no fine,

conditioned on counseling.

It'll be disposed of
in five minutes.

What's the catch?

Well, you plead guilty,
you will have a record.

But the damage of a trial,
even if you were acquitted,

would probably be worse.

I just had to touch them.

Alan...

Okay. Okay.

Can I talk to you
for a second?

It's okay.
Case is over.

Brave girl.

I know.

You turned down $85,000
for a guilty finding?

Last year, when I was
videotaped in my shower,

and now this while
I'm at the dentist?

Bobby, I feel so powerless.

I needed to do something.

I mean, I couldn't
just sit around

and let people
make it less bad.

I needed...

I don't know,
power of my own.

I needed him to be
found guilty in court.

I wanted to do something
to him.

Okay.

And quitting?

I wanted to do something
to you.

Well, you're also doing it
to Ellenor... Eugene.

They fought for you here.

Lindsay, Rebecca, Jimmy--

these people who you once
thought so resisted you

have come to love you.

What Ellenor said about
people in our office

sticking by each other--

Well, they were all
sticking by you in this,

not me.

Didn't you see that?

I did.

Don't leave us, Lucy.

What we are...

you're part of it.

Don't leave.

If I come back,

I want to be made
full partner.

How about senior partner?

You made Rebecca partner
when she wasn't a lawyer.

Don't think
I've forgotten that.

Yeah, well, here's a tip--
forget it.

The timing was right
for me to try.

I am sorry.

All right,
I'll come back

for Ellenor and Eugene
and everyone else.

You can still work on me.

Deal.

And, uh, we will be
revisiting the partner issue.

In your lifetime,
not mine.

The place would be better
with me in charge.

You're already in charge.

It's not unprecedented

to get a murder two converted
to manslaughter at sentencing.

It's a long shot,
but we did it once.

I'm going to do the research.

Also, you might
have grounds on appeal--

the judge not letting me off,

you and I were
so incompatible.

It could be
reversible error--

Another long shot.
In the meantime,

I've ordered up
the transcripts

to see if I can find
anything else.

Why?

You were court-appointed.
You did your job.

Well...

got to see it through,

be professional about it.

I'll let you know, okay?

Okay.

Thank you.

(music playing)

You stinker!
