All language subtitles for Law & Order s18e01 Called home.eng

In the criminal justice system,

The people are represented by
two separate,

yet equally important groups:

The police
who investigate crime

And the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

Tell your mother
I'll see her next week.

[toy laser sounds]

I'll see you tonight,
tommy.

Okay.

[toy laser firing]

Bye, kiddo.

Bye, dad.

Okay.

Here we go.

I'm really doing this.

[breathing nervously]

We got pulmonary edema.

Injection site
on his left arm.

Gonna go with an I.V.
Drug overdose.

Tan lines here.

He's missing a wedding band
and a wristwatch.

Just a driver's license
and credit con the dresser.

Thomas lupo, 36.

He checked in yesterday
at 2:00 pm.

2:30 the housekeeper
saw a young lady

Enter the room.

Unette, caucasian,
mid-20s.

Maybe mr. Lupo ordered in
a Sunday matinee.

Hey, there was another
hooker rip-off

Two weeks ago
at the mcgarrigle on 12th.

It's almost enough
to make a guy

Swear off infidelity.

[chuckles]

You losing your nerve,
cormack?

I did say "almost."

Sub by Adriano_CSI

I was at my mother's with the kids.

I don't know why
he was at that hotel.

Do you?

I don't know for sure.

We need to check the phone calls
your husband made.

Can you give me his number?

[sighs]

I never remember it.

I got it on speed dial.

Can I?

[girl calling out]
stop it. Mom!

How were things with you
and your husband?

Last couple of weeks
it's like he...

Pushed back from the table.

He wasn't talking to me.

You know, you guys should talk
to his brother cyrus.

Oh, it's here.
Cyrus lupo.

Yeah, he's flying in today
from somewhere.

Tommy had a wedding band.

Platinum wedding band.

It's missing,
along with his watch.

[girl calling out]
mom, tell him to stop it!

Mom!

I gotta see to my kids.

You talk to his brother.

Cyrus?
Mm-hmm.

I hope he's got more to say
than the wife did.

That lady just didn't want
to deal.

Anyway, the m.E. Promised me
a tox report

By tomorrow morning.

Ah, here we go.

"detective cyrus lupo.

Next of kin, his brother
thomas lupo."

He's assigned
to nypd intel.

Cyrus has been overseas
the last four years.

You just happened to know
to look for him

In the personnel index system.

No, no, no,

Detective lupo was a patrolman

In this precinct
before your time.

sorry about your brother.

Boss says take
all the time you need.

Detective green from the 2-7.

He caught the case.

[woman speaking
over loudspeaker]

Welcome home, bro.

I'll see you
at the ponderosa.

All right.

Got anything?

Just a general description

Of a woman that went
into his room.

Coffee?

Hookers and dope.

That's me,
thank you.

That--that's not my brother.

He...

He wouldn't
cheat on his wife.

He wasn't a weak...Person.

He beat cancer
five years ago.

When was the last time
you talked to him?

I don't know.

Um...

He called me
a couple weeks ago.

I was into a situation.

I couldn't get back to him.

Here.

Thank you.

So if it wasn't a pay date
or a girlfriend,

Who else would've wanted
your brother dead?

Look, man,

Don't think I don't know

What's going through
your head.

But you can forget about
working on this case, okay?

She's beautiful.
Thank you, uncle cyrus.

You're welcome.

Hey.

You're gonna be okay,
sweetheart.

Your daddy's watching
over you.

Carly, time for bed.

Say good night.
Gimme a kiss.

Good night.

Why did he leave
his ring here?

Oh, god!

[sobbing]

Shh.

Hey.

Ah, your hunch
was on the money.

My hunch?

The message you left
last night.

I didn't leave a message.

No, I did.

Nobody knows me
so I used your name.

Sorry.

Anyway, I looked
for the melanoma,

And found tumors
in mr. Lupo's lungs and liver.

Stage four.
He had maybe three months.

Yeah, it was the, uh--
it was the cancer

He beat five years ago.

It came back.

I found the painkillers
he was taking.

Well going by the looks
of these tumors

He needed 'em.

I also have a cause of death
for you.

Paralysis of the heart

Brought on by an overdose
of potassium chloride.

Trying some homemade
cancer treatment?

In these quantities
you don't see it used much

Outside of death row.

It's the drug of choice
for lethal injections.

How about suicides?

In combination
with other drugs,

As a matter of fac
yes.

it fits.

The bank said he borrowed
against his business

To pay off his mortgage.

He put his affairs
in order.

I'm so sorry, detective.

All right, let's change
the classification on the blue

To suspected suicide.

Lieutenant,
if you do that,

You know this goes
to the bottom of the pile.

Maybe my brother suicided,

But he wouldn't know
where to get these drugs.

Somebody helped him.
Maybe that woman.

We'll look for her.

But be real, man.
We got open murder cases here.

And all due respect,
your brother--

You don't know anything
about my brother, all right?

If this woman had tried
to help him

Instead of handing him
a loaded syringe--

Look, I will give this
the time it deserves.

But maybe your brother
had good reasons

To take a short cut
to the exit.

Maybe if you'd called him back
and talked to him

You'd know why.

Let me work this case,
please.

I can find this woman.

My c.O. At intel won't mind.

I'm out of there
in three months anyway.

Not only is this
against policy

For you to work
on this case,

It's a bad idea
all around.

[phone rings]

Van buren.

Yeah, what's up?

Yep. Thanks.

Grab your hat.

Someone else just took
a shortcut to the exit.

mr. Driscoll was
confined to a wheelchair.

The driver who takes him

To his physical therapy
came in found him.

How'd he get in?

Door was unlocked.

There are burn marks
at the injection site.

Typical of a potassium chloride
injection.

Same m.O. As mr. Lupo.

Maybe with the same
little helper.

A serial suicide artist.

Try not to look
so excited.

The toxic exams shows the same three
drugs in Mr. Lupo's and Driscoll's.

It took three
to kill them.

Secobarbital
puts the victim to sleep,

Pancuronium paralyzes them,

And then potassium chloride
stops the heart.

Someone had to rig an I.V.

To deliver all three drugs
in a time sequence.

This sounds familiar.

It should.

The last time this m.O.
Was used was ten years ago

By dr. David lingard
in an assisted suicide.

Dr. Death...

He was convicted of murder.

After admitting on tv

That he administered the drug
that killed his victims.

He got out of jail
a month ago.

Pay him a visit.

Thanks for coming in, doc.

He's been wearing down
the linoleum

For the last couple hours.

Now I talked
to his boss at intel.

Lupo broke some big cases

In some very unfriendly corners
of the world

And he did it with
no back-up,

No warrants, no weapon.

You makin' a sales pitch?

We got a second
assisted suicide

With a victim
he's not related to.

It wouldn't be
policy violation

For him to work that case.

I had nothing to do
with those suicides.

Somebody must have borrowed
my recipe.

Thing is, dr. Lingard,

No one's used your recipe

Since you went to prison.

But now,
a month after you're out--

I know the terms
of my parole.

I am not allowed
to help anyone commit suicide.

I'm not even allowed
to give advice

Or it is back to prison
for me.

Lot of people have asked
your advice

Since you've been out?

Lots,

And I tell them all
the same thing.

"sorry, can't help,
don't blame me.

Blame the tyrant
that made the rules."

Who's this tyrant?

Your government that
has been stealing

Your natural rights.

Must be frustrating
for you,

Not being able
to help people.

So if you can't help
kill them,

You don't care
what happens to them.

Of course I still care
what happens.

The people I helped
before I went to prison

Are tter off dead,
believe me.

You decide that?

These people, they come to you.
Maybe they're confused.

What do you know
about my patients?

They all had awful pain

And debilitation.

What a miserable existence.

Then you would do it
even now.

You would help them die.

No, it's against the law.

And as long as the sheep

Are happy to allow the nuts
and the fanatics

To tell them how to live
and how to die,

Nothing will change.

But that is not my problem
anymore.

[nolan on video]
so what are you doing now?

I'm giving her
potassium chloride.

It's the interview
that nailed lingard.

You got the timeline
for driscoll?

Oh, yeah.

is she dead now?

(lingard on video)
yes.

she's dead because
you gave her

A lethal injection.

Come on, doctor.
Don't be coy.

She wanted to die
so you gave her a drug

And killed her.

Yes.

I did.

That was a big scoop
for bill nolan.

Hey, this trip
that driscoll took

To the 200 block of 1st avenue?

There was a receipt
from the handicap van

That took him there.

Your brother got a call
from a pay phone

In a restaurant
on the same block.

Wait a minute.

Here, three days before
he died.

Him I've seen a few times.

He's in a wheelchair.

He came in by himself?

No, he has coffee
with this girl.

Girlfriend?

Nah, come on.

He was too old for her.

She's a nurse.

They probably talk about
medical stuff.

Medical stuff usually happens
in a medical place,

Not a diner, nick.

How'd you know
she was a nurse?

She have a uniform and
a little white hat?

No.

You know because
you talked to her?

You like her, don't you?

All right,
what's her name,

Where do we find her?

Mila.

She works at a hospice
on avenue "a."

Larry driscoll had a friend

Who passed away here.

That's how I met him.

When larry decided to terminate
his life,

He came to me for advice.

I work with the dying,

And larry thought
I might be able to help him.

So did you help him?

I told him don't expect
any help

From the straight
medical community.

They're like everybody else.

They think like sheep.

Sheep?

Are you a dr. Death groupie,
ms. Hames?

Dr. David lingard?

No, I'm not--
I'm not a groupie.

"m.H.L."

Mila hames lingard?

When I went into nursing,

My father said it would
go easier

If I used my mother's name.

What about tom lupo?

Were you the one
that called him from the diner?

I was returning his call.

He heard about me
from larry.

They met on a right-to-die
website.

Were you the one
that went to his hotel room

And hooked him up
to an I.V.?

You're not gonna trick me

Like they did my father.

Those guys committed suicide
all by themselves.

There are videos
to prove it.

Videos of what?
The suicides?

Bill nolan has them.

He's doing a special
on my father for his show.

He's got the videos.

I'm not trying to give you
the bum's rush, fellas,

But I've got to get
this lingard segment

Ready to air on Sunday.

Those videotapes are evidence

In two homicides,
mr. Nolan.

That would be pretty dumb so
if you're thinkofg me, concealing them--

Since the whole world's
gonna see them on Sunday.

Artie, be a good man

And burn a dvd of driscoll
and that other--

Tom lupo.

You should work with us,
mr. Nolan.

Ha.

We saw you got lingard
to confess on camera

Ten years ago.

That was pretty smooth.

Smooth enough
for an emmy.

larry, you've been sick for years.

So why now?

My condition
was getting worse

Month by month.

I came to believe that
the doctors and my family

Were keeping the truth
about my disease from me.

But now, thanks to you, bill,

I got my real medical report.

That's right.

Thanks to you,
I now know I have a.L.S.,

Lou gehrig's disease.

It's a slow...

Certain...

Agonizing death.

So this is my response.

No one helped me.

I rigged it myself.

[labored breathing]

should someone check his pulse?

Whatever role lingard's daughter

Played in the suicide,

Larry driscoll basically
exonerated her.

But it's bull.
It doesn't matter.

It's a dying declaration.

Prosecuting her
would be a waste of time.

Hold on a minute.

Driscoll said he had
lou gehrig's.

The autopsy says that
he had something called

Spinal muscular atrophy.

what?

And driscoll thought

He had lou gehrig's
because of a medical report

That nolan gave him, right?

Since he committed suicide

Thinking he had lou gehrig's,

I suggest we get the m.E.
To sort this out.

Okay.

Driscoll was diagnosed

With type four
spinal muscular atrophy

20 years ago.

It's non-lethal.

People with s.M.A.
Can maintain

A fulfilling quality of life.

It's nothing like
the horror show of lou gehrig's.

The video mentioned
a medical report

That said driscoll
had lou gehrig's.

Well, three weeks ago,

Driscoll had himself
checked out

At saint fabian's hospital.

They misdiagnosed him
with lou gehrig's.

The original report
stayed in this file.

That's what ended up
in bill nolan's hands.

Somebody dropped the ball.

Maybe our little angel
of mercy

Can tell us how
that happened.

we accept that mr. Driscoll
and mr. Lupo

Chose to commit suicide.

And we're willing
to give you immunity

For helping them.

In exchange, you'll tell us

How mr. Driscoll learned
he had lou gehrig's disease.

Bill nolan gave larry
the medical report.

and how did mr. Nolan
come to be involved?

after my father
got out of jail,

Mr. Nolan kept hounding him
for an interview.

I thought I could help
my father.

I told nolan about
this man, tom lupo.

I told him I was there
when he committed suicide.

He got very excited.

He wanted to witness
a suicide.

He said it would help
my father's cause.

I introduced him to larry.

Larry was thinking of suicide.

He thought
he was a lot sicker

Than what the doctors
were telling him.

But he couldn't make up
his mind.

And what did he do?

Did he ask mr. Nolan
for help?

Nolan just kept talking
about a deadline.

So he used a source
at the hospital

To get larry's report.

When the report said
larry had lou gehrig's,

Larry made up his mind.

Mila, the report was wrong.

Larry didn't have
lou gehrig's.

Well if they don't take away
nolan's emmy for this--

Why stop at his emmy?

He was after ratings.

He had a suicidal victim,

An unchecked report.

He had motive.

It was a substantial risk
and a reckless act.

Full house.

Let's go.

Ms. Hames,
I'm michael cutter.

I work with ms. Rubirosa.

Now, uh...

Before he died,

You got to know mr. Driscoll
pretty well.

He talked to you
about his life,

About suicide.

But for the fact

That he was told
he had lou gehrig's,

Do you think he'd be alive
today?

He said as long
as there was hope...

He couldn't bring himself
to end his life.

He told mr. Nolan this?

You go pick up nolan.

We're charging man two.

This looks like trouble.

You mind getting up,
mr. Nolan.

I have to get ready to tape
a segment for Sunday's show.

You're pretty enough now

Mug shot?
You're under arrest

For murder.

Artie, call gerard now!

Mr. Nolan was charged
with second-degree manslaughter.

He pled not guilty,

And the judge set bail
at $250,000.

These charges are an attack

On the press,
on the first amendment.

Our new district attorney,

Jack mccoy, was appointed

To serve out
arthur branch's term

Less than two weeks ago.

And by the looks of it,

Our civil liberties
are in for a very rough ride.

[reporters shouting]

Mike,

Are you aware of the storm
of crap you stirred up?

I'm in this job
three minutes

And already
I'm being crucified

And making a deal
with a woman

The victims exonerated her.
I mean, even if I'd--

So indicting bill nolan

Is some kind
of consolation prize.

The first amendment
is not a license to be reckless.

But it is the first amendment.

The next time you decide

To charge a member
of the press

With a felony,
call me.

Look, sacred cows
are for barbequing, jack.

You may've had woodward
and bernstein.

But I grew up with geraldo
and then judith miller.

I mean, reporters?

They're just more clowns
to the circus now.

A fine sentiment.

I hope you have
an actual legal theory

To back it up

Because simple negligence
won't get you there.

Unless you can prove malice.

Jack, it's rubirosa.

Nolan just filed
a motion to dismiss.

What do you want me
to do?

Duffy.

Look that one up
in your gadget.

Your honor, the statute
is crystal clear.

A person must cause
the death of another person.

Mr. Driscoll was the cause
of his own death.

The only role
that my client played

Was that of a journalist
conveying a fact

To an interview subject.

What he conveyed
was an erroneous report

Knowing the devastating impact
that it would have.

That report is what caused
mr. Driscoll to take his life.

Say whatever you want
about the report.

My client's hand
wasn't on the syringe.

Well that's a hair-thin
definition of causation.

People v. Duffy.

The court of appeals
upheld

The manslaughter conviction
of the man

Who gave a gun
to his distraught friend.

The court ruled
that the defendant

May be convicted for engaging
in reckless conduct

That results
in another person's suicide.

Your honor, I'm asking you
to weigh

This one fact-checking error

Against my client's
life-long commitment

To journalistic excellence.

And I would ask,
your honor,

To weigh mr. Driscoll's life

Against mr. Nolan's
craven pursuit of ratings.

If he hadn't been
in such a rush to televise

A suicide,
he might've checked his facts.

Amen to that,
mr. Cutter.

The motion to dismiss
is denied.

My client would like
to close the book on this

And move on.

The damage to his reputation
is incalculable.

I don't think they care,
gerard.

Mr. Cutter, knock it down

To criminally negligent
homicide,

Suspended sentence,
community service and a fine.

Oh, you write a check

And larry driscoll
becomes what?

A footnote
in an ethics class

At the school of journalism?

I didn't do anything wrong!

It wasn't my source
at the hospital.

It was larry's.

He put me in touch
with this person

At the hospital.

This source never gave me
any reason

To believe there was anything
wrong with the report.

The story wasn't even
my idea!

Mila hames came to me.

I stayed within the ethics
of my profession

Every damn step of the way!

Before we consider a plea,
we have to verify your story.

we'll need the name
of your source.

I didn't know there were
two reports on the same test.

Nolan was all over me
so I sent him the first report

That came up on my computer.

Had the misdiagnosis
of lou gehrig's disease?

The next day, when I found
the second report

With the corrected diagnosis.

Listen, I tried to get in touch
with nolan.

I left him a message
on his voicemail

At his tv station,
but I never heard from him.

You called him.

Are you sure, rick?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Okay?

(mccoy)
the more I hear about mr. Nolan,

The less I want to make
a deal with him.

You're not gonna like this.

Detective lupo did some digging

On our hospital lab rat,

Rick odell.

When he rented an apartment
two years ago,

Odell used mila hames
as a reference.

Dr. Lingard's daughter.
Small world.

Yeah, well you'd think mila
would've mentioned

That she knew the kid
who gave nolan

The wrong medical report.

Well either she didn't know
or it was no accident

Nolan got the wrong report.

A journalist is doing a program
on assisted suicide

That will rehabilitate
your father,

And the centerpiece
is an on-camera suicide.

But what if your would-be
suicide gets cold feet?

So mila had her friend
give nolan

The wrong diagnosis.

This is a news story
that benefits dr. Lingard.

It shows people are still
following in his footsteps.

I wouldn't be surprised

If he put his daughter
up to it.

He's that kind of guy.

This is ridiculous.

I've already told your goons

That I've been
a good boy.

Besides, mila and I
don't talk very much.

Really?

She said she got
involved with nolan

To vindicate you.

how annoying.

Your daughter's devotion
is annoying?

I always felt that the whole
paternity thing

Was a distraction
from my work.

connie.

These are letters
that mila sent him in prison.

This one she wrote
from camp when she was 17.

She included this picture.

Check out the dude with
the crutches. It's driscoll.

"my counselor, larry,
is such a cool guy.

"he knows all about you,
daddy,

"and he thinks it's unjust
that you're in jail.

"he has a disease called
spinal muscular atrophy.

"but he told me
if he ever ends up

"in a wheelchair
and miserable,

"he would end his life,

And he hopes there'll be
someone like you to help him."

It sounds like larry
was ready

To commit suicide
because of his s.M.A.

The mistaken diagnosis
wasn't a factor.

Sounds like it.

"I'm trying to stop
being angry

"at how unfair
the world is.

"you're just trying
to help people, daddy.

"but they take advantage
of your honesty.

"you gave an interview,
and what did you get?

"ten years in prison.

And that creep,
he got an emmy."

"that creep"?

She blames nolan
for sending her dad to prison.

And now she's trying
to send him to prison

For manslaughter.

Payback.

Call the detectives.

We're arresting mila hames
for murder.

there you go, danny.

Look what I got you.

Just in time
for the ballgame.

Mustard, right?

Miss hames?

We need you
to come with us.

We have a warrant
for your arrest.

Let's do this out here.

We had an agreemenet signed
by the district attorney,

Giving my client immunity

For any role she had
assisting the suicides.

This looks like
a get out of jail free card

To me, mr. Cutter.

You gave her a walk
on suicide,

And that's what
these victims did.

I agree, judge
for tom lupo

And larry driscoll,
it was a suicide.

But mila hames

Assisted their deaths

In order to frame bill nolan
for manslaughter.

Her intent
makes those deaths murder.

And her immunity
doesn't cover murder.

Mr. Cutter is alleging
an intent

That is not supported
by the facts.

That would be for a jury
to decide, ms. Grubman.

I intend to give them
that opportunity.

Your motion is denied.
The two murder counts stand.

tyrant!

Tyrant!

You can't keep me
in jail,

So you attack my daughter?
Quiet! Quiet!

Officers, remove that man.

Your justice
is a perversion! Order!

it's immoral!

get him out of here!

Nice tap dance today.

Uh, thank you
for not mentioning

That I shouldn't have given her
immunity in the first place.

You're welcome.

And no matter
what you call it,

You're still prosecuting her
for assisting two suicides.

She used those men.

For her own needs.
Not theirs.

Anyway, the judge said
I could prosecute.

So I will.

Can I see
your witness list?

There's nobody here testifying
on behalf of the victims.

Larry driscoll
has no immediate family,

And we're still waiting
to hear from tommy lupo's wife.

I don't want mike
going off on a tangent.

This is not a crusade
against assisted suicide.

Jack, don't put me
on the spot.

Anything you have to sa.

Your case is all brain
and no heart.

Better put a human face
on the victims.

The whole reason that larry
got a checkup at st. Fabian's

Was because I worked
in the lab.

Mila told me
to tweak his tests

So they came up
for lou gehrig's.

then what happened?

Bill nolan called me.

I gave him the phony report
like mila asked me to.

Thank you.

Mr. Odell,
far as you know,

Larry drcoll
was an informed

And willing participant
in his own death?

Sure.

He said that, uh,

Suicide was a relief.

That taking down nolan
gave his death a purpose,

And he was happy
to do it.

thank you.

No more questions.

Mila hames proposed to me

That I film an actual
assisted suicide

For my report
about her father.

I was reluctant,
but she kept after me.

She showed me a tape
of mr. Lupo's suicide

To demonstrate
that everything

Would be done
in a clinical manner.

I wanted to present
a fair and truthful picture

Of her father
and his beliefs.

Anyway, I relented.

And mila introduced me
to larry driscoll.

He gave me
a song and dance

About being undecided.

He put me in touch
with a young man

Who gave me
a phony report.

At no time
did I pressure anyone

Into doing anything.

I don't make the news.

I just report it.

Thank you, mr. Nolan.

Mr. Nolan, at any time,
did you witness

My client cause the death
of mr. Lupo or mr. Driscoll,

Either by injecting them
with the drug

Or connecting them
to a drug delivery apparatus

Or procuring drugs?

No, but ms. Hames
is a nurse.

And you don't have to be
rocket scientist to imagine--

I didn't ask you to imagine
the facts, mr. Nolan.

Just to report them.

No more questions.

We're getting nhere fast
with the jury.

Someone has to speak
for the victims.

Yeah, we need tommy lupo's wife
on the stand.

She hasn't responded
to the subpoena.

You know, we could
threaten her with contempt.

Well, that's a little unseemly,
don't you think?

No, get detective lupo
to lean on her.

I don't have time
to sit around a courthouse.

It's only one day.

This girl used him.

You want me to get up
in front of all those people

And tell them myusband
preferred to kill himself

Instead of having
a conversation with me?

You have any idea
how humiliating that is?

You want somebody
to speak for tommy?

Why don't you do it?

Huh?

Why don't you get up thery

You were too busy

To talk to
your sick, dying brother?

And then
you can tell them

It's because of me.

Well, lupo struck out
with his sister-in-law.

What do you think
of him testifying?

It would taint his role
as an investigator.?

Well, then, that's it.
The people rest.

The defense'll put mila
on the stand,

A sympathetic defendant.

Hospice nurse,
caring for the suffering.

Hey, connie,
check out this website.

Noexecutions.Org.

It's that anti-death penalty
group.

I think we just found
a blemish in mila's halo.

Larry had already decided
he wanted to end his life.

When mr. Nolan
started talking

About doing a show
about my father,

Larry and I came up
with the idea

Of letting him fm
his suicide.

why?

Because it would show
that people still believed

In my father's work.

That he didn't
go to jail for nothing.

And then what happened?

Larry and I came up
with the idea

Of embarrassing mr. Nolan.

It was stupid.

And I regret it.

I blamed him
for the loss of my father

For ten years.

tell us about your participation

In the suicides.

I told them
where to get the drugs,

And the plans to build
the drug delivery device.

I showed them

How to work it
and how to set up an I.V.

In their arm.

How to end their life safely,

Without pain.

In the same spirit as my father
would've helped them.

nourther questions.

As a nurse

In a hosce
for the dying,

You ow something
about pain, correct?

Yes.

So when you told

Mr. Lupo
and mr. Driscoll

That this method
developed by your father,

The cocktail
of the three drugs,

Was safe and painless,
they trusted you

Because of your training.

Yes, they did.

Now, you advocate that people
should have the right

To end their life
with the help

Of medical professionals,
correct?

Yes.

So where do you stand
on other life-and-death issues?

Say, abortion?

I haven't made up my mind.

Well, let's try
an easy one.

The death penalty.

I'm opposed
to the death penalty.

On what grounds?
It's cruel.

Uel why?

Because of...

Because of wha

The manner of execution?

Specifically,
lethal injection,

Ms. Hames?

People's 41 through 45.

Records from "no executions,"

An anti-death penalty

Advocacy group.

The records show you've been
a paying member

For the last four years.

These are petitions.

Is this
your electronic signature?

Yes.

You sied these pitions
opposing the use

Of lethainjections because,
and I quote,

"the three drugs used
in lethal injections

"silence the prisoner
so he cannot scream,

"paralyze him
so he cannot move,

"and then subject him

To extreme
and intolerable pain."

Ms. Hames,

What is the drug
commonly used

In lethal injections

That causes such extreme

And intolerable pain?

Potassium chloride.

Potassium chloride.

The same drug,
the same cocktail,

Used in your father's
suicide device,

Correct?

Y-yes.

The device you told tom lupo
and larry driscoll

Was safe and painless.

They trusted you,

And you toldhem

To inject this poison
into their veins, didn't you?

I didn't think they--

Tell me, ms. Hames,
why is it your concern

For the suffering
of prisoners

Didn't extend
to these two innocent men?

Is it because you didn't care
for their welfare?

No, they want--
is it because

You were so focused
on your own feelings,

Your own vengeance?

No, I didn't know!

My--my father told me
it was safe.

You're a nurse.

You knew better.

I-I-I--

I didn't mean--

My--my father--

right to die and the death penalty

That would've occurred to me.

Well, on occasion, jack...

Branch used
to fill these shelves

With knick-knacks
and awards.

It's a working office now,
not a showroom.

Defense just sprung
another witness on us.

The heavy artillery
this time.

Dr. David lingard.

Everybody has it backwards.

We're not trying
to help people die.

We're relieving them
of their unbearable pain.

Hippocrates said

That doctors
are the servant

Of the patient

And not the master.

But doesn't potassium chloride
inflict pain on the patients?

Not if it's administered
by a doctor.

But it's against the law,
so we have to use

These homemade machines
that are unreliable.

are you familiar with
the design of the device

Your daughter helped lupo
and driscoll build?

just a minute.

My daughter had nothing to do

With those suicides.

I built the device.

I set up the I.V.

Mila only took the blame
because she didn't want to see

Her old man
going back to prison.

you take full
responsibility

For assisting their suicides?

yes.

Mila didn't want
to have anything to do with it.

And bill nolan
was my idea.

I wanted to see
that son of a gun

Choke on his emmy.

Dr. Lingard, yesterday
we heard your daughter

Take full responsibility
for her roles in these crimes.

She was trying
to protect me.

Not that I deserve it.

Then let me ask you,

How did you meet
mr. Driscoll

And mr. Lupo?

Let's talk about
something else.

Let's talk about
our natural right to decide

How and when to die.

It's a right
we were born with,

And it is a right
that this tyrannical government

Doctor, I asked you
a question. Has taken away from us.

The ninth amendment
of the constitution

Says that any right
not mentioned

In the constitution
reverts back--

Doctor, where did you get
the drugs you claim

You gave to driscoll
and lupo--

It's a right we have,
and it is--

Up to us
to take it back.

your honor, I ask
that this witness' testimony

Be stricken from the record.

Dr. Lingard,
I'm directing you

To answer his question.

It is the right
of every american

To live and to die
as they see fit.

And I choose here.

And now.

What are you
talking about?

My pulse is down to 20.

My god.
What did you do?

Beta-blockers,

Pro--propranal,
about...

An hour ago.

I'm--I'm almost there.
It's okay, sweetheart.

You'll be all right.

officers, get an ambulance.
Call 911!

mistrial, your honor.
I move for a mistrial!

-Daddy, no!
-clear the courtroom!

Put him on his back!

order!
Order in the court!

Get the jury out
of here now!

I want this courtroom
cleared now!

Court officers,
clear the courtroom!

Get a medic in here!

Judge declared
a mistrial.

She wants to set a date
for a new trial.

What's the point?

Her father exonerated her
with a dying declaration.

Well, given the conditions
of his parole,

Lingard must've figured
his life's work was at an end.

He had nothing to lose.

Now his daughter
gets to learn the downside

Of the right to die.

Grief.

The doctor told me
I got six months.

Already, the pain...

Heh.

I can't take it.

There's no hope.

My family...

I didn't tell my wife

Because she would've tried
to stop me.

So it's just me.

Okay.

Here we go.

I'm really doing this.
