"COLLEAGUE"?

[SIGHS NERVOUSLY]

EIGHT MONTHS THIS HOUSEHAS BEEN ON THE MARKET.

I CAME CLOSETO SELLING IT TWICE,

BUT, UNFORTUNATELY,

THE BUYERSTRIED TO LOW-BALL ME.

SO, WHAT'S THE PLAN?

PLAN IS, I'M GOINGTO SIT ON IT

UNTIL THE MARKETPICKS BACK UP.

I NEED YOUTO LOOK AFTER IT.

YOU MEAN LIKEWATER THE GRASS?

[CHUCKLES]

NO, I MEAN,LIKE, MOVE IN.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?

I NEED SOMEONEI TRUST

IN HERE, ERIC,

PROTECTING MY INVESTMENT.

YOU WOULDN'T EVENHAVE TO PAY RENT.

CAN I HAVE SOME TIMETO THINK ABOUT THIS?

DO YOU LIKE LIVINGWITH YOUR DAD?

HOW DOES THAT GO OVERWITH YOUR FRIENDS?

DO YOU EVEN HAVEANY FRIENDS?

WHAT ABOUT A GIRLFRIEND?

AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUTTHE ONE WHO DUMPED YOU

AND MOVED TO SEATTLE.

HEY.

HEY, LISTEN TO ME.

YOU'RE A YOUNG, SUCCESSFUL GUY.

IT'S TIME YOU STARTEDLIVING LIKE ONE.

IT'S TIME YOU MANNED UP, KID.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

[SIGHS]

MR. GOODALL,

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING

THAT YOU'VE DECIDEDTO DROP THE ASSAULT CHARGES

AGAINST MR. BAILEY.

IS THAT CORRECT?

MY COUSIN SERVEDIN AFGHANISTAN.

WHEN HE GOT HOME,HE JUST...

HE WASN'T THE SAME, SO...

I GET IT.

THANK YOU,MR. GOODALL.

YOU MAY SIT DOWN.

MR. SMITH...

IN LIGHT OF MY CLIENT'SSERVICE TO HIS COUNTRY,

AND THE FACT THATTHIS IS HIS FIRST OFFENCE,

I'D LIKE TO MOVE THATTHE CASE BE DISMISSED

AND THE CHARGES BEEXPUNGED FROM HIS RECORD.

IF THE ASSISTANTDISTRICT ATTORNEY

IS IN AGREEMENT.

ACTUALLY,I'M NOT IN AGREEMENT.

IT'S MY INTENTION TO FILEA MISDEMEANOR ASSAULT CHARGE

AGAINST MR. BAILEY,

AND TO PURSUE

THE MAXIMUM SENTENCEOF ONE YEAR IN COUNTY JAIL.

THE VICTIM ISN'T EVENFILING CHARGES.

I HAVE A WITNESS

WHO IS WILLING TO TESTIFYAGAINST MR. BAILEY.

WHO?

THE OTHER MAN SAWTHE WHOLE THING.

GIVE THE GUY A BREAK.

HE'S SUFFERING FROM PTSD.

I'VE SUBMITTEDMEDICAL REPORTS

AND AFFIDAVITSFROM TWO DOCTORS.

HE IS SEEKING HELP.

THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACTTHAT HE ATTACKED AN UNARMED MAN.

HE BELONGS BEHIND BARS.

MISS JENNINGS,YOUNG MEN, LIKE LUKE,

WITH NO CRIMINAL HISTORY,

GO OFF TO WAR,

AND WHEN THEY COME HOME,

BECAUSE OF THE EMOTIONALWOUNDS THEY SUFFER,

AS A RESULT OF THEIR SERVICE,

THEY GET INTO TROUBLE,

AND THEN THEIR LIVESARE FOREVER CLOUDED

WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD.

JUDGE LOCKHART,I STRONGLY BELIEVE--

PLEASE.

I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD OFVETERANS' COURT.

IF YOU INSIST ONPRESSING CHARGES,

I WOULD LIKE YOUTO MOVE LUKE'S CASE

TO VETERANS' COURT.

I AGREE.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN VET COURT.

OR DRUG COURT.

OR ANY OTHER SPECIALIZED COURT.

IT'S A FREE RIDE FOR CRIMINALS.

[GASPS IN DISBELIEF]

NO ONE IS SAYING

THAT LUKE SHOULDN'T FACETHE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS ACTIONS,

BUT I WANT YOU TO THINKABOUT THIS CAREFULLY--

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO PUTTHIS OBVIOUSLY TROUBLED MAN

BEHIND BARS?

THAT'S EXACTLYWHAT I WANT TO DO.

AND WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.

VET COURT IS WHERETHIS CASE BELONGS.

IF SHE'S FILING CHARGES,

THEN I HAVE NO CHOICEBUT TO SET A TRIAL DATE.

BUT JUDGE LOCKHART--

MY HANDS ARE TIED.

ALL RIGHT,I'LL GIVE YOU A MINUTE.

SO, WHAT'SGOING ON HERE?

I KNOW IT SEEMS BAD,

BUT MY MOM IS REALLYGOOD AT WHAT SHE DOES,

SO I THINK THE BESTTHING YOU CAN DO

IS JUST HAVEA LITTLE FAITH.

WELL, THE LEGAL STUFFWILL WORK OUT OR IT WON'T.

I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU.

I DON'T KNOW WHATYOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

THAT. RIGHT THERE.

THE WAY YOU'RE TALKING.

YOU'RE ACTING STRANGE.

NO, I'M NOT.

IF I SAID SOMETHING EARLIER--

I'VE GOT TO RUN.

I'D LIKE TO STAY,BUT I'VE GOT TO GO.

JUSTINE...

I'LL CHECK IN LATER.

HEY.

LUKE!

WE NEED TO TALK.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HARDING RANCH.

NO, CLIFF ISN'T HERE.

IS THIS ABOUT THE FEED DELIVERY?

BECAUSE IF SO, I CAN HELP--

I'M SORRY, WHO-WHO IS THIS?

HI...

HOW ABOUT YOU TELL MEWHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU TWO?

DID SOMETHING HAPPEN

AT THE PRE-TRIAL?

SOMETHING HAPPENEDBEFORE THE PRETRIAL.

HE TOLD ME THAT HE LIKES ME.

ANYONE CAN SEE THAT.

I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS.

CORRECTION.

ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SEE IT,CAN SEE IT.

I LOVE SETH.

TRUE, BUT YOU CAN'T DENYTHAT YOU LIKE LUKE, TOO.

YOU DON'T FIND THIS SITUATIONA TAD IRONIC?

YOU HAVE BEEN TRYINGTO GET LUKE TO REALIZE

THAT HE CAN'T RUNFROM HIS EMOTIONS,

AND THAT'S EXACTLYWHAT YOU'RE DOING.

NO.

YES.

DAMN IT.

I NEED SOMETHINGSTRONGER THAN TEA.

YOU'RE TRYING TO GET PREGNANT.

HAVE YOU TALKED TO IAN?

YES.

AND?

HE DOESN'T WANTTO HAVE A BABY RIGHT NOW.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

I DID IT.

I STOPPED TAKING BIRTH CONTROL.

YOU DIDN'T.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE HONESTWITH IAN.

[SNIFFS]

[BICYCLE BELL RINGS]

[CHUCKLES]

AW...

BOB...

[SNIFFING]

[CHUCKLES FONDLY]

WOW.

[BELL RINGS]

GOOD AFTERNOON.

WELL,

NOW, THAT'S A GREAT CAR.

WHAT'S THATSUPPOSED TO MEAN?

THAT YOU HAVE A NICE CAR.

WHICH MEANS, WHAT?

HOW CAN I AFFORDA CAR LIKE THIS?

THAT I LIKE YOUR CAR.

MY FATHER HAD ONE OF THESE,

A CONVERTIBLE.

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,HE'D LET ME DRIVE IT.

AH, I LOVED THAT CAR.

WHERE IS THIS GOING?

WHERE'S WHAT GOING?

ALL OF THIS CAR TALK.

WHEN TWO PEOPLE TALKAND SHARE STORIES AND ANECDOTES,

IT'S COMMONLY KNOWNAS "A CONVERSATION."

OH.

HEY.

I THINK WE GOT OFF ONTHE WRONG FOOT THIS MORNING.

I KNOW YOU SAY

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE IN TOWNFOR VERY LONG,

WE STILL HAVE TO WORK TOGETHERFOR THE GREATER GOOD.

I'M JUST HERE TO DO MY JOB.

BUT IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE.

YOUR REPUTATION IN LAW

IS GOING TO BE BUILTON TWO THINGS,

THE WAY YOU TREATYOUR COLLEAGUES

AND THE DECISIONS YOU MAKEIN THE COURTROOM.

YOU HAVE TO DECIDE

WHAT KIND OF LAWYERYOU WANT TO BE.

THE KIND OF LAWYERTHAT WINS A HIGH-PROFILE CASE,

AND GETS OUT OF THIS TOWNFOR GOOD.

LUKE BAILEY IS GOING TO PRISON,WHERE HE BELONGS.

END OF STORY.

CLIFF...

YEAH?

ARE WE GOING TO TALKABOUT YOUR SON?

WHO I JUST FOUND OUTABOUT TODAY.

I DIDN'T THINKHE'D CALL ON THAT LINE.

WELL, HE DID,SO NOW I KNOW.

YEAH.

REALLY?

STEPHEN ISMY EX-WIFE'S GROWN SON

FROM HER FIRST MARRIAGE.

I BASICALLY RAISED HIM.

WHEN MY WIFECHEATED ON ME AND LEFT,

STEPHEN KIND OFGOT LOST IN THE MIX,

SO I LOOK OUT FOR HIM.

WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOUJUST TELL ME ABOUT HIM?

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

WHATEVER STEPHEN KNOWS,MY EX KNOWS,

SHE'S HIS MOTHER.

YEAH?

SHE'S NOT WELL, MY EX,

AND, FRANKLY, I DON'T KNOWWHAT SHE'D DO

IF SHE FOUND OUTABOUT YOU.

WELL, SHE'S THE ONEWHO LEFT YOU.

I DIDN'T WANT TO GET YOUDRAGGED INTO SOMETHING WITH HER,

AND I FIGURED

THE EASIEST WAYTO KEEP YOU OUT OF THIS

WAS TO KEEP YOU OUT OF THIS.

WHOA.

YOU SEEM UPSET.

ARE YOU ANGRYBECAUSE I ANSWERED THE PHONE?

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO TOLD ME TO--

GRACE, HONESTLY,YOU DON'T KNOW WHY I'M UPSET?

I DON'T SAY "I LOVE YOU"TO MANY PEOPLE.

I'VE GOT SOME CHORES TO DO.

LET'S HAVE DINNER ANOTHER NIGHT.

[SIGHS]

JUDGE LOCKHART?

YES.

DO YOU HAVE A MINUTE?

SORRY, NOT FOR PRESS.

UH, I'M NOT HERE AS PRESS.

WHAT ARE YOU, THEN?

A CONCERNED STRANGER.

CONCERNED?ABOUT WHAT?

JACK GRIFFITH.

WE WERE MORE THAN COLLEAGUES.

WE WERE MARRIED.

IT WAS A SPUROF THE MOMENT THING--

WE WERE IN VEGAS, AND...

YOU KNOW, EVERYTHINGABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP

WAS "SPUR OF THE MOMENT."

I MET JACKMY FIRST DAY OF WORK

BACK IN PHILLY,AT THE PAPER.

HE WAS A FRIEND, AND A MENTOR,

THEN MORE.

I MEAN, HIS DRINKING WASOUT OF HAND AT HOME,

BUT TOTALLY IN CONTROL AT WORK.

HE WAS THE MOSTFUNCTIONAL ALCOHOLIC

I HAVE EVER MET.

AND HE WAS--

WELL, I'M SUREHE STILL IS--

A TRULY GIFTED WRITER.

BUT A VERY TROUBLED MAN.

I'M SURE JACK WILL TELL MEALL OF THIS SOMEDAY.

I WOULDN'T BE SO SURE.

EXCUSE ME?

WELL, ALCOHOLISM, ADDICTION,

IT'S ALL BASED ONLIES AND DECEPTION.

I MEAN, SURE,HE'S SOBER NOW, BUT--

WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS?

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

BECAUSE I WISH SOMEONEHAD BEEN THERE TO WARN ME.

CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED.

[GASPING]

THANKS FOR LETTINGME HIDE OUT WITH YOU.

IF YOU JUST WANT TOTELL LUKE

YOU AREN'T INTERESTED,

WHY DO YOU NEEDTO HIDE OUT?

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON?

I CAN'T DENY THATI'M ATTRACTED TO HIM.

WHICH I HATEMYSELF FOR.

OKAY...

SO YOUR PLAN ISTO STAY HIDDEN...

FOREVER?

I'M NOT THE ONLY ONEOF US THAT'S HIDING OUT.

I'M GOING TO TALKTO IAN ABOUT...

STOPPING BIRTH CONTROL.

BEFORE OR AFTER YOUACCIDENTALLY GET PREGNANT?

I'M HOPING BEFORE.

THIS ISN'T A GAME.

YOU'D BETTERMAKE IT BEFORE.

I'VE TRIED TALKING.

LYING TO HIM ISN'TGOING TO WORK EITHER.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

SO ARE YOU.

[SIGHING] YOUNG LADY,

WITH GREAT POWERCOMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.

YOU COULD PROBABLYCONVICT LUKE OF ASSAULT,

BUT YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELFIF DOING SO

SERVES ANY OTHER PURPOSE

OTHER THANFEATHERING YOUR OWN NEST.

HINT, THE ANSWER IS NO.

THIS IS NOT A GAME.THIS IS REAL LIFE,

AND YOUR DECISIONWILL AFFECT A REAL PERSON.

I'LL SEE YOU IN COURT.

FINE.

IT JUST REALLYTOOK ME BY SURPRISE.

I HAVEN'T SAID THOSE WORDSTO ANOTHER MAN

OTHER THAN MY EX-HUSBAND,
