[eagle cries]

Phew.

Watch this.

Ugh.

Ugh.

No, it's too risky.

I ain't going back now.

Look out, loo--

Woo!

JACK: Oh man.

LISA: Ah.

Ah.

Ah.

Can you make it?

Piece of cake.

Ugh.

Uh.

Ho.

LISA: You get lost down there?

Ugh.

Heh.

LISA: Not bad, eh?

Look at that.

[music playing]

Top of the world.

Oh yeah.

Hey, hey, hey.

What are we doing here, huh?

Were you afraid God's
going to catch us?

OK, get ready.

You know I was pretty
scared back there.

I know.

One day we're going to
climb the Devil's Needle.

Oh, ho ho.

[camera shutter clicks]

[movie theme plays]

NEWSCASTER [ON RADIO]:
--overturned last month's

ruling by retiring district
court Judge Reinhardt

that Salt Lake City's
practice of opening

city council meetings with a
prayer is unconstitutional.

It's currently a beautiful 74
degrees in the Salt Lake Valley

with warm seasonal
temperatures expected

to last through the weekend.

XRT News time is 3:15.

That means time for sports
and Harvey Milbrooke.

SPORTS DJ [ON THE RADIO]: The
eagerly anticipated high school

football season opens
this Friday night.

[inaudible]

[cheerleaders practicing]

Sorry to barge
in, but Mrs. Peters'

maternity leave starts Monday.

Do we need to hire a
substitute for senior English?

They're reading Arthur
Miller, aren't they?

"The Crucible."

Ah ha.

I think I'd rather use
the money for the library.

I'll do it.

It'll be fun to do
some teaching again.

Your wife called
with a list of things

she needs from the market.
- Ah ha.

Says she might be late again.

OK thanks, Sarah.

Anything else?

Not today.

And I'm out of here.

All right, later then.

- Hello, Jack.
- Hi there.

Afternoon.

[music playing]

STORE ANNOUNCER [ON INTERCOM]:
Today we have fresh Utah trout

on special for
just $4.59 a pound,

limit of seven
pounds per customer,

in our seafood section.

Also, over on aisle five please
stop by for a free sample--

Never could make
up your mind, Jack.

Haven't forgotten me, have you?

Lisa?

It's great to see you.

I recognized you
soon as I saw you.

Ugly as ever.

Heh heh.
Well you look great.

You haven't changed a bit.

What are you doing
in Salt Lake City?

Oh, it's a long story.

I'm not married anymore.

Uh huh.

Came back to climb the Needle.

How about you?

Uh, I'm a headmaster
of a private high school.

Teacher?

No, headmaster.

I guess you're married, hmm?

Millions of kids?

No, just one.

Little girl.

What are you going to
do, show me pictures?

I remember what you
used to carry in there.

That was a long time ago.

Yeah.

Well are you going to
show me the pictures,

or do I have to
wrestle you for them?

Heh.

Here, this is Sascha
when she was five.

That's Karen.

She's lovely.

Although you've capably
shown that Mr. Krug committed

the crime you're charging
him with, Mr. Norrin,

Mrs. Hart has established
that the police

obtained proof of his guilt
during an illegal search.

His civil rights were violated.

Your honor I have no choice
but to request that the charges

against Mr. Krug be dropped.

Case dismissed.

Mr. Krug, you're free to go.

Bout time.

BAILIFF: Your left arm.

Little higher.

Much appreciated, Mrs. Hart.

No thanks Mr. Krug, I'd
like to keep my fingers.

Uh, Mrs. Hart.

Judge Montenegro asked if you
could see him in his chambers

for a few minutes.

Certainly.

Tell him I'll be right there.

Whatever happens,
just take the Fifth.

See you tomorrow.

OK.

Oh, have a seat, Karen.

Sorry to summon you here on
the heels of another victory.

Well I think we both know that
Steve Krug belongs behind bars,

but cops screwed up and Norrin
hoped you wouldn't care.

What is it with
you two anyway?

Judge Ted Norrin
thinks that he is God's

gift to the legal profession.

And when you win a case against
him it's an assault on his ego.

I've won quite a few.

[laughter]

Karen, you think you
could rule objectively

if he was on a case?

I could distance myself, why?

Ah, you've heard Judge
Reinhardt is stepping down.

The committee and
I think that you're

the person to replace him.

This is really unexpected.

I would like to talk
it over with Jack.

Since when does Karen Hart
need help making decisions?

Well this is different.

When you share your
life with someone,

you discuss a change like this.

Uh, if I take the job, do
I get to call you Fulvio?

Only my mother
gets to call me that.

Let me know.

You can bet on it.

[talk radio chatter]

RADIO HOST [ON THE RADIO]: Are
you a member of the church?

Now you don't have to
answer if you don't want to.

Privacy is what
this show is about.

CALLER [ON THE RADIO]:
Well let me just

say that I've lived in
Salt Lake long enough

to know who really runs--

Oh, that's looking
to be great, hmm?

Oh my goodness.

Where's the gang?

Hi sweetheart.

Hi mommy.

Hey!

Mmm, a flour kiss, thank you.

I told you I was bringing
home P-I-Z-Z-A tonight.

P-I-Z-Z-A, that's pizza.

Yes.

I know that.

I know because
you are so smart.

Heh.

Oh, you've got
flour all over you.

Let's get you cleaned up.

Delmy?

There you go.

Let's get you cleaned up.

Mmm, Delmy's made chicken.

Table set for four?

Mm hm.

I invited someone to dinner.

Oh now don't tell me another
member of the school board.

No.

No, someone I ran into
at the supermarket.

Who?

Lisa Burns.

You know the girl that got
me started in rock climbing?

Well that wasn't all
she got him into, was it.

Come on was 10 years ago.

Mm hmm, what's the statute of
limitations on old girlfriends,

huh?

What's imitations on
old girlfriends, mommy?

Well, your daddy's
old girlfriend's

coming to dinner tonight.

I didn't know daddy
had a girlfriend.

I'm teasing you, Jack.

Mommy's just being funny.

I'm gonna go change
into something

a little unprofessional.

Why don't you whip up some
trail mix for dessert?

Ha ha.

Sascha come pick out
something for mommy.

You look very pretty, mommy.

Thank you honey.

Did anyone ever tell you,
you do not look like a lawyer?

Do I look like a judge?

Hmm?

Montenegro offered
me a judgeship today.

I would be one of the
youngest ever in Salt Lake!

Ha ha, that's great, honey!

That's great!
Ha, ha!

Can I do that?

Sure you can, come here you.
Heh heh.

Sasch, mommy's
going to be a judge.

Do judges work at home, daddy?

Well, I'm afraid not
sweetheart but you know what?

When it's time to go
home all they have to do

is bang the gavel and
say court is adjourned.

They also put people in
jail who've misbehaved.

Uh huh.

So what is Your
Honor doing tonight?

Entertaining someone's
old girlfriend.

Heh heh.

[doorbell chimes]

Better answer the door.

Hi.

Hi.

Still your favorite?

Oh yeah.

Some things never change.

Thanks.

Come on in.

Hi.

You must be Sascha.

I'm Lisa.

Well come on Sasch, say hello.

Are you daddy's girlfriend?

I used to be.

Your mommy is his
girlfriend now.

I think this must be for you.

Thank you, Lisa.

Delmy, Delmy, look what
daddy's girlfriend gave me.

Lisa.

Hi, I'm Karen.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.
Come on in.

Would you like
something to drink?

Thanks, that would be lovely.

KAREN: How long have
you been in town?

Heh.

So suddenly my foot
shot out from under me,

and I just dropped, I
don't know how many feet.

I was pregnant with
Sascha I'm sitting

at the bottom of this
mountain watching

this guy dangling like a yo-yo.

Heh heh.

Everyone falls.

That's what safety
ropes are for.

Jack and I couldn't
even get life insurance

until he stopped climbing.

So I quit.

Never got to climb
the Needle, hmm?

No, I never did.

Sascha, turn off the
TV it's time for bed.

OK mommy.

Hmm.

I better tuck Sascha in.

Once upon a time,
in a faraway land,

there lived a little
princess named Penelope,

who looked a lot like you.

And Penelope lived in a castle
on a tall, tall mountain.

Jack was quite a wild one.

How did you get
him to settle down?

I think we settled
each other down.

You don't have much choice
with a six-year-old.

Do you have any children?

No.

We were just starting to
talk about it when Bill died.

Sorry.

Somehow I thought
you were divorced.

Yeah, that's what I told Jack.

He died in an accident.

Sorry, I just miss him.

What I'd do if I lost Jack.

Must be very hard.

Well no one said
life was easy.

It's getting late I should go.

It's real when we wash.

You're a lucky lady, Karen.

I've been pretty blessed.

Listen, don't hesitate to
call if you ever need to talk.

Thanks.

Say good night to Jack for me.

I will.

JACK: Memo to school board.

The whole concept behind the
founding of Mountain View,

is the adherence to a quality
liberal arts education, huh,

that's not right.

[phone buzzes]

SARAH [ON INTERCOM]:
Lisa Burns, line one.

Lisa how are you?

I'm sorry we didn't
get a chance to talk.

Well it's pretty hard during
a holiday to play hooky,

especially when you're
running the school.

Heh.

Look, I'll tell you what.

Why don't you come up here, and
I'll show you around the place.

OK, bye.

Hmm.

I really do love this school,
but sometimes I feel like it's

suffocating me, you know?

You just need to take
some time off, that's all.

Well, it seems every time the
school is on vacation Karen's

in the middle of some trial.

You should take a
vertical vacation, Jack.

Ha ha, right.

Let's go climb the Pinnacle.

We could be back before dark.

I don't even know
where my gear is.

I've got everything we need.

I don't know.

Come on, Jack.

For old times' sake.

Hmm.

Forgot how great this is.

You know when Karen
followed me out here

I was really into climbing.

Now, everything seems so
different from up here.

And nothing that happens
down there seems to matter.

Yeah.

Ah, listen, Karen told
me about your husband.

I'm sorry.

Thanks.

It's about the least of
my problems right now.

What do you mean?

I went to Santa Fe for
a while after Bill died.

Get away from him and all.

Hmm.

I met a guy there.

I thought he was crazy about me.

Turns out he was
just plain crazy.

I told him it was over
when I came back east.

He followed me anyway.

Now he's found out I'm here.

Is he harassing you?

He scares the shit
out of me, Jack.

Look I'll talk to Karen.

We'll go to a judge.

We'll get a restraining
order put out on him.

I don't want to get
you guys involved.

Come on let's get
off this rock, hmm?

Before he shows up.

You want to come
in, get cleaned up?

Uh, no.

Uh, I'm going to
drop by the school,

I'll, I'll get a shower there.

Every time I come in
and turn on the light,

I think I'm going to
find Eddie sitting there.

He's really got you
spooked, doesn't he?

Yeah.

All right.

I guess I can take
a shower here.

[water splashes]

Ah, yeah.

Huh.

Shhh.

Don't say a word.

Don't say a word.

Shhh.

Remember how good it was, Jack?

Remember how good it was?

Remember how good it was?

Hhhh.

Yeah.

Mmmm.

[breathless moans]

Mmmm.

AH

AH!

Stop, Jack, Stop
or I'll scream.

Ahhh!

[MUSIC - QUIET RIOT, "CUM ON
FEEL THE NOIZE"]

Need some help?

Look, this isn't going
to happen again, OK?

I'm sorry that I made you
think that-- it, it was

just a mistake, for both of us.
I love Karen.

I like her too.

I'm sorry.

Don't I get one last kiss?

[knocking]

EDDIE: Hey, Lisa.

Open up.

Now who's that?

Shhh, that's Eddie.

Good.

I'm in the right mood
for a conversation.

Jack.
Jack, Jack.

Don't.

He'll just come back
when you're gone

and take it out on me later.

EDDIE: Come on
Lisa, open the door.

Jack, out.

Go on, get out there.

Now just hold on a second.

This is crazy.

Jack, come on, just do it.
Do it.

Lisa this is ridiculous.

Come on!

Just stay out of sight, Jack.

[knocking intensifies]

Eddie.

What took you so long.

You want a beer?

Yeah.

Come on baby.

What are you so uptight for?

It's not even cold.

Get back.

Like this rock, don't you?

[struggling]

[whimpers]

Lisa!

Lisa!

[music stops abruptly]

[knocking]

Are you all right?

I killed him, Jack.

I killed him.

Ah jeez.

If I just could have got the--
look, it was self-defense.

I saw the whole thing.
I saw what he was doing to you.

Just get your stuff.
Just get out of here!

You've got to call the police.

You've got to tell
what happened.

Got to tell them the truth.

Now go on.

Go on.

Operator, this
is an emergency.

My name is Lisa Burns.

I liv-- I. I live
at the-- I live

at the Rhodes Apartment Hotel.

I've been, I've been raped.

[police siren]

[LATE NIGHT TALK RADIO PLAYS IN
BACKGROUND]

Well if dikes aren't the
answer, then what is?

Well we believe that
with intelligent planning

we could anticipate the
future profile of the lake,

and eliminate the problems
before they develop.

In other words, treat the
lake as a living entity,

instead of something
that could be controlled.

It's the development
around the lake

that needs to be stabilized.

We can pass laws to
control what people do,

but nature makes its own rules.

Well thank you very much, mam.

I mean this.

We're really glad that
you could join us tonight.

JACK: Honey, where's the,
never mind I found it.

They set a date from my
formal interview today.

What interview?

With the selection committee.

Your wife's going to
become a judge, remember?

Yeah.

Sorry, honey.

I've just had an
awful day today.

Did you work too hard?

I think I should be
able to relieve some

of that job related stress.

Look, I-- I just want
to get some sleep, OK?

Take a quick shower first.

[water running]

[phone rings]

[ringing]

Hello?

Lisa, wha-- It's
3:00 in the morning.

Yeah sure, sure.

Honey, it's Lisa.

She needs to talk to you.

God, it's 3:00 in the morning.

Lisa, what's wrong?

Oh my god.

Have you called the police?

They did what?

Manslaughter.

You killed him?
Listen.

Lisa I don't care
what they tell you.

You do not say anything to
them until you have a lawyer.

All right?

We'll be there as
soon as we can.

Lisa's been raped.

Where would they have her.

She's probably in
a holding cell.

I doubt she's been there long.

Lisa Burns, signed,
sealed, delivered.

I took a lien on
her car for 30K.

She should be out
in just a minute.

Great.
Johnny, my husband Jack.

Johnny Biscuit.

That's a pleasure.

Johnny, thanks for
the midnight run.

No sweat.
JACK: Could you help us.

Officer, I'd like to
get a copy of the charges.

Hi.

You here to see Ms. Burns?

Yes, I'm Karen Hart.

Ah, you're the one
who got Krug off.

I'm not here as a lawyer.

I'm here just as a friend.

DETECTIVE CAMDEN: My mistake.

I thought I heard you ask
for a copy of the charges.

KAREN: I'm sure they'll
be dropped [inaudible]

Are you all right?

Can you tell me
why you charged her

with manslaughter
instead of holding

her as a material witness?

Why don't you
ask her boyfriend?

You can find him in the morgue.

Third drawer on the left.

Is that supposed to be funny?

We can talk in a minute.

Let's get out of here.

We need to know
where you're staying.

She'll be staying with us
tonight at 2936 Arapahoe.

If that changes
she'll advise you.

Lisa, everything's
going to be OK.

The worst is over.

Don't worry about
the charges, Lisa.

It's just a legal maneuver.

There's never going to
be a formal arraignment.

Ugh, blood.

It's all in my hair.

You'll be able
to take a shower

when we get to the house.

LISA: I want to get my clothes.

OK.

We'll get your things.

Jack, I think you better go up.

All right.

I'll make it as fast as I can.

Lisa, do you want to
talk about what happened?

LISA: I can't.

I can't talk about it right now.

Come on.
Who are you?

I'm here to pick
up some clothes

for the lady who was raped.

DETECTIVE 1: What did you hear?

I heard a lot
of muffled noise,

but nothing I could make out.

DETECTIVE 1: Are you
sure you didn't see--

Uh, Detective Christianson
cleared me downstairs.

OK, go on in.

DETECTIVE 2: Yeah, it's not easy
to kill somebody with a knife,

unless you know where to put it.

I mean look over here.

This guy was--

Who are you?

Oh, I'm Jack Hart.

I'm a friend of Lisa Burns.

I was told I could get
some other clothes for her.

Is that all right?

Lieutenant Camden?

I heard.
Yeah sure.

Go ahead.

You sure know your
way to the bedroom.

Yeah well, the door is
open and this is a bed.

Don't touch anything
you don't have to.

We don't want to find
your fingerprints

all over the place.

Did you know the victim?

You mean the dead man?

Yeah.

No, I never met him.

You know if he smoked?

I said I never
met him, Detective.

Now if you don't mind, they're
waiting for me downstairs.

[newscast on the radio]
In the news this morning,

an Ogden woman accused
of scalding her baby

in a tub of hot water yesterday,
pleaded no-contest to a charge

of misdemeanor child abuse.

Charges carry a maximum--

Honey, want some
more orange juice?

Yeah.

Here you go.

Nice and cold.

Good morning.

Can I get you some breakfast?

Just coffee please.

Hi Lisa.

Do you live here now?

Mmm, for a while.

Is that OK?

OK.

How are you feeling?

Did you get any sleep?

Not much.

You can wash your skin clean,
but you still feel dirty.

You just feel, dirty.

Feel like it was all my
fault. Like I asked for it.

Isn't that stupid?

You were the victim
of a violent crime.

You haven't done anything
to be ashamed of.

I'm going to see what
I can do about getting

the charges dropped.

I'm finished, mommy.

Let's get you
dressed for school.

Come on.

Hi daddy.

Morning honey.

Why is Lisa so sad, daddy?

She was out late.

I'll tell you about it later.

Mommy, daddy has a secret.

Karen's really
nice, isn't she?

Yeah.

How are you holding up?

OK.

Lisa, I've been
doing some thinking.

If you want me to come forward.

I've been doing some
thinking too, Jack.

You know, good friends are a
lot harder to find than lovers.

I don't want to mess things
up for you and Karen.

Well I'm not going
to let you go to jail.

I'm not going to go to jail.

I was raped.

They found sperm.

Besides, I've got
it all on tape.

What tape?

Remember when Eddie pushed me
away and went in the kitchen?

I pressed the recording button
on the answering machine.

Why?

Because of what you said about
getting a restraining order.

I thought if I had proof
he was harassing me.

That tape was running
while I was there?

I turned it off before
you came back in, Jack.

What if they start
analyzing the sperm?

Why should they?

Don't worry.

It's obvious what
happened to me.

The Calvinist theocrats who
ruled the Massachusetts Bay

Colony had extraordinary power.

They could actually
condemn a person's soul

to eternal damnation.

Now, who would like to
elaborate on their beliefs?

Yes.

They believed people
called the elect chosen

by God at birth, and that people
who weren't chosen were damned.

I think only the
elect were able to run

the church, or the
government, or anything else.

It's kind of like
a Catch-22, hmm?

Right.

So what happened if one of
the elect said you are a witch?

You had to confess even
if you were innocent.

And you had to say that other
people were witches too.

That's right,
and if you didn't?

They killed you.

Right.

I think you've got the idea.

Keep up the good work.

I'm looking forward
to your production.

That will be all.

Ted.

Ted, can I talk to
you for a second?

Not really.

Can we talk tomorrow?

Look.

I wanted to talk to you about
Lisa Burns being charged

with manslaughter, because
you're sending a clear message

to women who've been raped.

They might as well lay back
and enjoy it because it's

a crime to defend themselves.

You want to get into
this right-- All right.

Look.

In the first place, whether
or not a rape even occurred

is going to be
determined at trial.

You can't possibly
think you're

going to go to trial with this.

I may have trouble getting
a jury to convict, yes.

But the right side doesn't
always win in court.

You proved that the other day.

Why do you dislike me so much?

Is because I beat you in court,
or does this have something

to do with me becoming a judge?

Look, are you acting as
Ms. Burns' attorney now?

If not, I'm under no
obligation to even talk to you.

Mrs. Jansen, we have
been through all of this

on the phone.

I know it's a
good play, but there

are plenty of other good plays
that won't offend the people

who send their children here.

"The Crucible" is an
allegory about the McCarthy

witch hunts in the '50s.

It's also an attack against
the authority of the church.

Any church.

And I think you knew that when
you added it to the curriculum.

If I did it's
because I believe

that the children should
learn to think for themselves.

We all need to rebel a
little when we're young.

Even me, though you
may not believe it.

Heh.

But being an adult also means
accepting responsibilities and

becoming part of a community.

That means making compromises.

I'm not asking you to
give up your principles.

I'm just asking
you to compromise.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Who?

Ask her to hold.

I've got to go anyway.

Think about what I said, Jack.

And tell your wife I said hello.

I don't think it's
a good idea, Karen.

Bill left me some money.

I can get another lawyer.

No, it isn't just because
you're our friend, Lisa,

there's another reason that
I'd like to take the case.

It's a personal one.

Karen, that is history.

Not for me.

You see, Lisa, my
sister was also raped.

It was when I was in college.

This professor told her
if she said anything

no one would believe her.

Karen, come on.

So I need this case, Lisa.

It's not just for me.

The question is, do you want me?

Yes.

[PRESS CORPS CALLING OUT FOR
ATTENTION]

Ms. Hart, Ms. Hart.

Do you plan on
attacking the DA on--

Is there any truth that
your husband knows Lisa Burns?

If she's so innocent
why are we here today?

Ms. Hart, why did you
decide to take this case?

Lisa Burns was booked
on criminal charges

even after the police had
taken her to County General

and confirmed that
she was raped.

Any reason to think
it wasn't self-defense?

None.

No I think this indictment is
a grave error on the DA's part

because it's sending a
message to rape victims

that if they dare
to defend themselves

they'll end up
being put on trial.

And the fact that this travesty
is being held in Salt Lake,

a devout community renowned
for fair-mindedness,

makes this all the
more important.

She says devout like
it's a four letter word.

Look.

If we up the charge
to murder one do

you think we can scare
a plea out of her?

I think it murder one.

You have evidence
to support that?

Not yet.

I'd like a chance to find it.

Let's do it.

Ms. Burns, is it
true you were having

an affair with Eddie Brizzard?

No comment.

COURT CLERK: Start case number
817 586 458FS on the docket.

Look at this.

They changed the indictment
from manslaughter

to first degree murder.

COURT CLERK: --before
the county of Salt

Lake City now in session.

The Honorable Judge
Delia Wilkes presiding.

Case 8 1 7 5 8 6
FS for the State

of Utah versus Lisa Burns.

Have you reviewed the
indictment, Ms. Hart?

Your honor, I just
received an amended copy.

The prosecution's charge
of premeditated murder

is frivolous and an outrage.

I would like to move now
for preemptory dismissal,

your honor.

The people object, your honor.

We have reexamined the
evidence, and we feel

there is cause for the charge.

Sustained.

Have you provided defense
counsel with all the evidence?

Yes, your honor.

Some of the
investigators' interviews

have only become available now.

I have given a copy to counsel.

Your honor, I would like
to take a little time so

that we may review all of this.

We'll recess for 20 minutes.

I should have told you.

It was stupid of me.

You slept with Eddie the
day before he raped you.

Do you know what Norrin
can do with that?

What was I supposed to do?

Lie to the police?

Do you know how hard it is to
say no to a guy like Eddie?

OK, look it was understandable
because you were in shock.

OK, I know what that's like.

But from now on you have
to tell me everything.

I'm on your side.

OK.

It's time to go back in.

How does the defense
plead, Ms. Hart?

Not guilty on all
counts, your honor.

Then the defendant,
Lisa Burns,

will be held to answer for
murder in the first degree.

And the included
charge of manslaughter.

In light of the seriousness of
these new charges, your honor,

the people are requesting that
the bail be raised to $300,000.

That's unreasonable.

She has no priors,
has a residence

here, and friends
in the community.

Your honor, the residence
is a transient apartment,

and she's been in
Salt Lake two weeks.

Your honor, Ms. Burns
has been residing with me

since the night of the incident.

I'm willing to have her
continue to do so, if necessary.

Mr. Norrin, given the
defendant's contention of rape,

and the supporting
medical report,

I'm going to release
her to counsel.

I won't make it a condition that
she stay with you, Ms. Hart,

but you will be responsible
for her supervision.

Thank you, your honor.

JUDGE WILKES: Next case.

COURT CLERK: Case
834521 FS for the Stat--

They still haven't come
through with the transcript

of the tape.

They claim there's some kind of
log jam at the FBI crime lab.

Norrin always drags his feet
when he knows the evidence

is going to favor the defense.

We'll have to light
a fire under him.

Listen to this.

Charmaine Koontz, 83, says
she saw an unidentified man

from the back walking
down the hall shortly

after the incident took place.

Could be a witness.

No, the police already
have a statement from her.

I'm going to poke around and
see if anybody else saw him.

Ah!

Told you, fish don't eat bagels.

Listen will you call
Jack and tell him--

Tell him you won't be
home for dinner, got it.

It's nice to see you
again, Detective Camden.

I really like your office.

Great view of the mountains.

Nice pictures on the wall.

So, you're a rock climber, huh?

Would you have a
seat please, and tell

me what I can do for you.

Well, I uh, understand
that Lisa Burns was

here the day of the killing.

Yes, I showed
around the school.

We'd run into each
other the day before,

and uh well, it was
the first time I'd

seen her in nearly 10 years.

And what was your
relationship to her before?

Were you two an item?

We used to go rock
climbing together.

So then you weren't
sleeping with her.

Well it was that
too, for a while.

Then we went our separate ways.

It was a long, long time ago.

She's a pretty hot number.

Who ended it?
- I did.

Why?

Because she was, um, because
we didn't see any future in it.

So, after you dumped her, did
she ever try and see you again?

Try and make you take her back?

She threaten you?

No, of course not.

She ever tell you anything
about the deceased, Eddie

Brizzard?

She said he was harassing
her and that she was afraid.

It's hard to
imagine a strong woman

like that who climbs mountains
being afraid of anything.

She said he was very jealous.

Who was he jealous of?

[phone rings]

Heh heh.

SARAH: I have Dana
Jansen on line two.

I can't talk to her now.

Dana Jansen.

Good solid citizen.

Powerful family too.

Detective is this
conversation going anywhere?

I've got a lot of work to do.

Well I do have
one last question.

Did you ever see Ms. Burns
lose control, I mean,

really lose it?

No.

So you never argued.

Nu-uh.

Then it's safe to say that
you don't know if she can get

violent when she gets angry.

She was raped, detective.

As a woman, I'd think
you'd be more sympathetic.

The only thing I am
sure of is that she had

sex with the guy she killed.

Where's your sympathy?

Are you still poking her?

Get out of my office.

Really great view.

Goodbye, Mr. Hart.

Hi, I'm an attorney
investigating a murder.

Were you here that night?

No, but the woman on
the third floor might.

I was gonna watch TV, but
I fell asleep on the couch.

RADIO PREACHER
[RADIO VOICEOVER]:

You may think nobody knows,
but friends you're wrong.

There's somebody
who knows everything

there is to know about you.

Somebody who sees everything
you do, and friends it

ain't Santa Claus.

It's God.

DRUNK MAN: Got any change?

Sorry, don't have any.

All right.

No hard feelings.

Everybody's broke these days.

Hey.

Are you around
here all the time?

Have the police questioned
you about the killing

the other night?

Did you see anybody leave
before the police got here?

Hold on, girl.

I saw something, but you
ain't gonna believe me.

Ha ha.

You were hitting great.
Now what can I say.

Come on you're not
hitting so bad yourself.

Listen, I want to talk to
you about somebody you love.

Dana Jansen.
- Ugh.

Frank.

I do not want to talk
about Dana Jansen today.

Look, no one on
the board likes

Dana Jansen, or what she's
trying to do with this school.

Jack--
- I'm not--

Jack.

An accused murderer,
publicly identified

as your former lover,
is living in your home,

while your wife is
defending her in court.

Don't you think the whole thing
is just a little bit sordid?

She is an old friend
and she is in trouble.

Aren't loyalty and
compassion some of the values

we want our children
to learn, huh?

This is not about values.

This is about image.

The board wants to keep
you here at the school,

but not at the cost of
the school's reputation.

Period, paragraph.

So what are you
telling me to do?

Get Lisa Burns out
of your house, Jack.

Get some distance between you.

Yeah, I got the message.

Jack.

Jack.

I'm surprised what
happened in court.

I mean shouldn't
we talk about how

long Lisa's going to stay here?

She's your friend, honey.

What's the matter with you?

I don't know.

It's just having
someone in the house,

I feel like we can
even make love anymore.

I thought you'd
welcome the excuse.

What is that supposed to mean?

Nothing.

Sorry, I just had a bad day.

Lisa slept with Eddie
the day before the rape.

Norrin had a field
day with that one.

The day before?

She said it was a mistake.

Oh.

I'll say.

I spent half the day
trying to track down

a possible witnesses,
and I came up

with a wino that says he saw a
guy outside of Lisa's apartment

on the fire escape.

Heh, you're kidding.

I wish.

I paid $20 for that one.

Ha.

Surprised he
didn't say the guy

was pulling up his pants as
he climbed out the window.

Heh.

Phew, boy.

I'll be glad when
this case is over.

Let's just say
hypothetically, that uh,

she was seeing someone else.

She was seeing somebody else?

Right.

She tells Eddie.

Eddie gets mad and tries
to have sex with her.

Then she says, no.

He knows she means it,
and it really is rape.

And we're wasting our time.

Unless, unless.

She thinks that Eddie
Brizzard will cause trouble

for her and her new
boyfriend, and she

decides to get rid of him.

What kind of trouble?

Well, let's say
that he's married.

What did forensics
find in the shower?

If there's anything in
there it went down the drain.

You got a screwdriver?

Yeah.

Give it here.

On my scout knife.

So let's see what's
down this drain.

People will show
conclusive proof

that the accused,
Lisa Burns, had reason

to expect that her encounter
with Edward Brizzard

would lead to violence.

And we will show that
Lisa Burns manipulated

a volatile situation,
with Edward

Brizzard's death being
the desired outcome

of their last encounter.

Thank you.

JUDGE WILKES: Mr. Norrin, you
may call your first witness.

ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY:
Now Mr. Graysen, you

found fingerprints
belonging to five men

besides those of Mr. Brizzard?

DAVE GRAYSEN: Yes.

ASSISTANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY: Ms. Burns

was obviously a busy hostess.

KAREN: Objection, your honor.

JUDGE WILKES: Sustained.

Could you state accurately,
from the evidence,

how recently any of these
men may have been there?

No.

It would just be a guess.

Thank you.

Your witness.

KAREN: Thank you, Mr. Norrin.

I think we've all
seen enough of this.

And I think we've all
heard enough about this.

Mr. Graysen, the prosecution
has given us a transcript

of the tape obtained from
the answering machine

in Ms. Burns' apartment.

Can you tell us why a
transcript was needed

instead of the actual tape?

The tape was corrupted
by extremely loud music

so that the speech
on the tape was

unintelligible to the human ear.

We sent it to SPX
laboratories in Boston.

It's a firm that specializes
in digital analysis and voice

imaging.

Mr. Graysen, , as an expert
in your field do you consider

the transcript to be an
accurate rendition of the voices

originally deemed inaudible?

The technology employed
allows us to digitally analyze

every sound on the
tape and then literally

create synthesized speech.

The synthesized speech
is then transcribed.

I take it that means yes.

That's correct.

KAREN: Let's go back
to the thing this--

If Wilkes allows
the transcript,

then she won't have to
put Burns on the stand.

We better pray she does.

We need to cross-examine her.

There's no forensic basis
for that conclusion, no.

Thank you, Mr. Graysen.

TV NEWS ANCHOR: Opening
moves in a highly

publicized trial of Lisa Burns.

Our Janine Austin has
more on the story.

TV NEWS REPORTER: Defense
attorney, Karen Hart,

successfully refuted the
prosecution's attempt to label

Burns a quote, busy hostess.

Court watchers are
now wondering if Hart

will try to enter into
evidence a transcript

of the tape recording--
- Your wife's doing a fine job.

TV NEWS REPORTER: --made at
the time of the alleged murder,

or if the defendant
herself will testify.

Today, the police detective
in charge of the investigation

takes the stand.

ASSISTANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY: Detective Camden,

during your interview
with Ms. Burns,

did she tell you
that she had recently

had consensual sex with the
decedent, Edward Brizzard?

Yes.

She told me that she'd slept
with him the day before.

ASSISTANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY: She told you

that she had willingly had
intercourse with him the day

before the incident.

That's correct.

ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY:
During your interview,

did you ask the defendant
if she had spoken

to Edward Brizzard that day?

Yes I did.

She told me that she hadn't
spoken with him that day,

until he showed up at her door.

I see.

Do you recognize this document.

Yes.

It's a record of Ms. Burns'
phone calls from her apartment.

It was provided to me
from the phone company.

And upon examining
Ms. Burns' phone record

did you notice anything
that contradicted what

the defendant had told you?

There was a 10 minute
phone call to the motel

where Mr. Brizzard was staying.

And did her omission
of this information

make you suspicious,
detective Camden?

Well it made me think that
their meeting that night

could have been prearranged.

KAREN: Objection.

Conjecture.

JUDGE WILKES: Sustained.

Did the defendant
fail to disclose

to you that she had spoken
to the decedent, that day.

Apparently.

I have no questions
now, your honor,

but I may wish to recall
this witness at another time.

Your witness counselor.

JUDGE WILKES: Ms.
Hart, your witness.

You testified earlier
that the defendant was sent

to the rape treatment
center at County

General, is that correct?

Yes, it is customary when
an allegation of rape is made.

Isn't it true that the
examinations they perform

consist of a rigorously
complete physical

and gynecological examination?

That they take vaginal
smears and swabs

for blood and semen samples.

They even scrape under
victim's fingernails,

and they often
vacuum their bodies

for hair and fiber samples?

That's correct.

KAREN: Isn't it also true
that most of these women

are in shock when these
procedures are performed?

Sometimes.

KAREN: Well then
wouldn't you at least

agree with me that
it's a very stressful

procedure for the victim?

It depends on the victim.

After suffering
the trauma of rape.

The horror and
violence of having

to fight off an attacker.

After the degrading
experience of having

strangers prodding
and probing the most

intimate parts of your body.

Assaulting the very
citadel of your dignity.

Isn't it perfectly natural that
you would temporarily forget

something as unimportant
as a phone call?

I didn't forget
anything when I was raped.

I remembered it all.

But then I hadn't slept with
the bastard the day before.

[gavel bangs]

BAILIFF: Quiet, please.

Can we have quiet
in the court room.

KAREN: Your honor,
I request that--

ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY:
--have a good idea.

KAREN: --this be stricken.

It has no bearing on this case.

JUDGE WILKES: You asked
a hypothetical question,

counselor.

Detective Camden has a
right to draw her answer

from her personal experience.

Do you have any more
questions for this witness?

No your honor, no
further questions.

Your honor, at this point
the prosecution rests its case.

We'll have a one
hour recess for lunch.

Look I'm sorry what
happened with Camden,

but we're in good shape.

Their case is all conjecture.

What they can make
the jury believe.

They'll attack you as a
person, try to convince

a jury that you're immoral.

Does not make me a murderer.

No, but you have to
understand how they think.

If you are an immoral
person it means

you've broken the restraints
the community is placed upon us.

It means you could be
capable of anything.

Maybe even murder.

Well that's a pretty
fucked up point of view.

But that's what we believe.

We have to win the
jury back emotionally.

Make them as afraid
of Eddie as you were.

Is there anybody you
can think of who can

verify the kind of guy he was?

Yeah, I know someone.

AIRLINE PASSENGER INFORMATION:
Your attention, please.

The airport shuttle bus is
now arriving from Salt Lake

City International Airport.

The exit shuttle--

Lisa!

Hi.
- How you doing, Shel?

Great.

This is my new friend, Dwayne.

He's on a two-day pass.

Dwayne, this is Lisa.

Be careful she's on parole.

We're behind you 1000%.

Dwayne, I need to
talk to Shel, OK?

Oh.

Uh, honey why don't you go
get my bags, and have a drink.

Lisa and I we're going
to have a little talk.

Girl talk, OK?

Semper fi, babe.

Hee hee.

Uh, so how bad is it?

My life's on the line, Shel.

Don't screw up, OK?

Are you all right, Mr. Hart?

Yeah, sure.

What's the matter?

It says here in the Tribune
that Ms. Burns is living

with you during the trial.

Yeah, well that's true.

It also says that
she's your former lover.

Mrs. Jansen called carrying on
about you being a polygamist.

Thought you'd like that
one coming from her.

Heh.

JACK: Sascha!

I'm here, daddy.

Sascha.

Hi, daddy.

Hi, honey.

Listen, um, honey where's mommy?

She went shopping.

She did, huh?

DELMY: Sascha, Sascha.

Dinner's ready.

Come on you better
get out of there now.

Come on.
Bet you're hungry, hmm?

That's a girl.

There you go.

Now listen.

You go eat with Delmy, OK?

LISA: Doesn't daddy knock?

We need to talk.

What about?

Why did you call Eddie?

To tell him I was in
love with someone else.

I thought it would
make him go away.

So why didn't you
tell that to the police?

Because they'd ask
who I was in love with.

A man and a woman can
be married spiritually.

And then they'll be together
in Heaven no matter who

they're married to on Earth.

We've been pretty close to
Heaven haven't we, Jack?

If Karen finds out what
happened between us, I will--

Kill me?

Honey, that's what
Eddie used to say.

The color's a little boring,
but I guess I can live with it.

We're clear on
everything, right?

Oh, absolutely.

It was just like rehearsing
for the high school play.

JUDGE WILKES: Ms. Hart, you
may call your next witness.

KAREN: You say you've known
Lisa Burns for years, how would

you describe her as a person?

SHELLEY: She's a
very loyal friend.

Has a great sense of humor.

She's decent.

Fun loving.

Have you ever known her to
be calculating, or violent?

Lisa?

No way.

She's very spiritual.

She never even loses her temper.

KAREN: Were you aware of her
problems with Eddie Brizzard?

Yeah, yeah.

He wouldn't leave her alone.

She came to Salt Lake
to get away from him.

And how did you know that?

Well because I suggested it.

Well he was trouble.

I said, Lisa honey,
your husband's dead.

You've got nothing
left in Massachusetts.

If that jerk was on my tail, I'd
get the hell out of Dodge City.

Your witness, Mr. Norrin.

ASSISTANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY: Thank you.

Now, Ms. Conoway, according
to Lisa Burns' deposition

you were in the El Coyote bar in
Santa Fe in March of this year

when she first met Mr. Brizzard.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Your honor, may we
approached the bench?

Mr. Norrin has waited until
now to hand me a declaration

he obtained by telephone.

This is a blatant violation
of the rules of discovery.

I move for a mistrial.

ASSISTANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY: Your honor,

we were only able to contact the
bartender at the Penny Whistle

bar in Marion, Massachusetts,
early this morning,

and we took a statement
over the phone.

Will Ms. Hart have a chance to
depose this witness before it's

introduced into evidence?

Of course.

But if I may be permitted to
continue she may not need to.

Overruled, Ms. Hart.

Proceed, Mr. Norrin.

Thank you, your honor.

Now, Ms. Conoway,
did you witness

an argument between Edward and
Lisa in the Penny Whistle bar?

Yes.

ASSISTANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY: If you

would tell the court in your
own words what you saw, please.

Well we were sitting
there one night when

this gorilla came over and,

--by gorilla, I'm assuming
that you mean the decedent,

Edward Brizzard.

Exactly.

He came over and
grabbed Lisa and said

something about her owing him.

ASSISTANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY: What

do you think he meant by that?

Do you think that he felt
that she owed him some money?

Objection, he's is
asking for a conclusion.

Sustained.

ASSISTANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY: What

did Lisa do when Edward Brizzard
told her that she owed him?

She told him to get lost,
and started walking away.

He just took off after
her and yanked her arm.

And,

And she spun around
and slugged him.

You mean, Lisa Burns?

The woman that you just told
this jury that you never saw

lose her temper?

Just hauled off and
let him have it, huh?

It wasn't really
quite like that.

Um.

Yes.

So, hm.

I see.

When did this
altercation take place?

I really couldn't tell you.

We go to the Penny
Whistle bar all the time.

Can you give us a month?

I said, I can't remember.

How about December of 1991?

No, I don't know,
I can't remember.

Isn't it true
that you and Lisa

brought a gift wrapped package,
into the Penny Whistle bar

that night?

A Christmas present
for Mr. Brizzard?

Of course not.

That was the first
time I ever met him.

- The first time.
- Yeah.

I thought you said
that the first time you

met him was in Santa Fe.

Now, which is it?

Ms. Conoway?

Is it in Santa Fe of this
year, or last December

in Massachusetts?

I told you, I--

Thank you, thank you.

I have no more for this
witness, your honor.

JUDGE WILKES: Ms. Hart,
do you wish to redirect?

KAREN: Not at this
time, your honor.

LISA: I don't care what
some bartender said.

I first met Eddie in
March in Santa Fe.

Shelley just gets confused.

Well the only
thing the jury is

going to remember that
you struck this man

you're supposedly so afraid of.

God dammit,
Karen, I was raped.

- Are you sure?
- Karen.

This is unprofessional.

Now you've got to lay off.

I didn't mean that.

I want to testify.

That is exactly what
the prosecution wants.

KAREN: Nobody can force you
to testify, that is the law.

Don't you understand?

Let the transcript
speak for you.

Karen, I want to testify.

I thought you didn't want
to put her on the stand.

She insisted.

Actually might do us
some good when you see

how much she's been through.

Jury's such an emotional animal.

And what if they ask her
about, past relationships?

Honey, what went on between
you and her 10 years ago

isn't relevant.

Yeah, it may be
irrelevant to the trial,

but not to Dana Jansen
and the school board.

I mean, Frank Jameson
came to see me.

He says if I don't put
some distance between Lisa

and me, if I don't get
her out of this house,

they're going to force me out.

Well I'm not going to
let them run my life.

After everything that I've done
they owe me something better

than this.

Look, I've been thinking.

Maybe I should go stay
with Shelley for a while.

You don't have to go, Lisa.

Think I've caused enough
trouble for you guys.

Look, it'll all be
over in a couple of days.

One way or another.

You will be in court
tomorrow, won't you Jack?

I need to know there's
someone there who

knows I'm telling the truth.

I'll be there for both of you.

Thanks, I knew I
could depend on you.

NEWSCASTER [ON THE
RADIO]: The prosecution

completely discredited the
best witness, Shelley Conoway,

who was forced to admit
that Ms. Burns had met

the deceased, Eddie Brizzard,
before her husband had

died, and not after, as
the defense had maintained.

This leaves Ms. Burns'
credibility in doubt.

JUDGE WILKES: Ms.
Hart, your witness.

Lisa, you testified
that you met

the deceased, Eddie Brizzard, at
the El Coyote bar in Santa Fe,

this year.

Was Ms. Conoway with
you at that time?

Yes.

I guess Shelley didn't remember
because she'd had quite

a bit to drink that night.

Could you please tell us
how you met Eddie Brizzard?

Shelley and I were at a bar
drinking when he came over.

He asked me to dance.

He was attractive.

One thing led to another.

KAREN: And you slept with him.

It had been a long time
since I had slept with anyone,

not since my husband died.

Were you interested
in seeing Mr. Brizzard

after you left Santa Fe?

No.

Why not?

Because he hit
me more than once.

I would like to introduce
this defendant's exhibit four.

A transcript of
a tape recording.

Your honor, we
asked that this tape

be ruled inadmissible
as evidence

due to the corrupt quality
of the original tape.

JUDGE WILKES: I believe
uh, Mr. Graysen's

expert testimony established
the validity of the transcript.

You may proceed.

Thank you, your honor.

Now, Lisa you're in the kitchen.

He has ripped off
your underwear,

and he has you by the wrist.

And according to the
transcript you said,

please I'm begging you.

And he replied, you
crazy bitch you owe me.

Does that sound correct?

Yes.

Lisa at this point what was
happening to you physically?

He was pushing me against
the kitchen counter.

And you were
still resisting him?

Yes, I was pushing him away.

KAREN: And what
did you say to him?

I said, Eddie stop,
stop or I'll scream.

KAREN: So you were
pushing Eddie back,

and he has you been back
against the counter.

And it indicates
that you cried out.

Was he hurting you?

[sobs]

JUDGE WILKES: Let the
record indicate the witness

answered affirmatively.

Lisa how was he hurting you?

He was shovi--

Your honor, could the
witness speak up please?

We can't hear.

He was penetrating me.

And it was at that point
that you saw the knife

and you reached and grabbed it.

Yes.

KAREN: And you stabbed him.

Yes.

LISA [VOICEOVER]: Stop.

Ugh!

I just want to go over this
again with you once more,

just to be perfectly clear.

Lisa, were you willfully
having sex with Eddie

Brizzard while he was--
LISA [VOICEOVER]: Eddie, stop.

Stop.
Please, stop.

KAREN: --penetrating you?

No, he was raping me.

KAREN: No further
questions, your honor.

Your honor, I would like
to cross-examine the witness,

but um, given her obvious
state of distress perhaps we

should adjourn till tomorrow.

I see no reason to prolong
the defendant's suffering.

If you intend to cross
this witness, Mr. Norrin,

we'll do it today.

NEWSCASTER [ON THE
RADIO]: In cases like this

it gets down to
whom you believe,

or whom you want to believe.

In the preceding
days of the trial

a lot of doubt was raised--

FRANK SHERMAN: I
thought all we had to do

was force them to
put her on the stand.

She's got him right here, Ted.

If we go after her in
cross the jury'll hate us.

They'll spit on us.

Maybe we should pass.

She's an evil woman, Frank.

Evil.

We've got to make a jury
see that as clearly as I do.

We finally got this report
back from the FBI lab.

Camden was right.

Huh, you want to read this.

Phew.

Hallelujah.

JUDGE WILKES:
Order in the court.

Order.

Ms. Burns, I realize
this is most unpleasant.

And I will try to be
as brief as possible.

Ms. Burns, you mentioned
the death of your husband,

William Donnelly.

Objection, your honor.

That has no bearing
on this matter.

JUDGE WILKES: Sustained.
- I need a favor.

Remind me about Donnelly.

There's something I
want you to check out.

Ms. Burns, your
attorney recently took you

through a taped transcript
of Edward Brizzard's

attack upon your person.

Would you mind telling us
how, during Edward Brizzard's

attack, you conveniently
had the presence of mind

to press down on a
telephone answering

device, and record everything?

Um, I was thinking
about getting

a restraining
order so that Eddie

would have to leave me alone.

I thought a tape would prove
that he was harassing me.

And you conveniently
thought about all this

while you were in
fear for your life?

I didn't just conveniently
do anything, Mr. Norrin.

It wasn't that bad at first
when I put on the tape.

He only got violent
after I said no.

You mean when you refused
to have sex with him.

That's right.

But you had sex with him
anyway, isn't that true?

He raped me.

But you had sex with
him the day before, also.

Is that not correct?

Yes.

Did you have sex with him at
any other time in the interval

between those two times?

No.

Did you have sex
with any other man

during the same interval?

No.

Ms. Burns, are you
familiar with DNA analysis?

No.

DNA analysis allows for
positive identification

of any individual through
the testing of any substance

containing human cells.

Hair, saliva, sperm.

I have here a report from the
crime laboratory of the Federal

Bureau of Investigation,
that arrived this morning

from Washington, DC.

Objection.

The prosecution has rested.

ASSISTANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY: Your honor, I'm

offering this report
in direct rebuttal

to Ms. Burns' testimony.

I'll allow it Mr. Norrin,
but only insofar as it bears

on the defendant's testimony.

Your honor, the
defense has not been

given access to this report.

Your honor, I only recently
got the same report myself.

In fact it just
came in moments ago.

The defense has been given
a copy of the same report.

I can see Miss Bacon reading
the report right now.

JUDGE WILKES: You may
proceed, Mr. Norrin.

We're in trouble.

Ms. Burns, in
this report the FBI

analyzed the DNA from
three samples that

were found in your apartment.

The saliva residue
from a cigarette

butt that was taken from the
ashtray in your apartment.

A pubic hair that was found
in the drain of your shower.

And semen that was taken
from the swabs that were used

by the doctors at the
County General Hospital

on your citadel of dignity.

Now, I'm sure it
does not surprise

you that all three of these
samples came from the same man.

However, given your
previous statements,

how do you explain the
crime laboratory's findings

that all three of these
samples came from a man

that was not Edward Brizzard?

Is it not true that you
had sex with another man

before luring Edward
Brizzard to your apartment?

No.

Is it not true that you viewed
Edward Brizzard as a threat

to this new sexual relationship?

No.

And that you
conspired with this man

to murder Edward Brizzard
and then conceal the crime

with a false accusation--

No, that's not true!

KAREN: Your honor, this
is nothing but conjecture.

ASSISTANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY: It's the truth

we're seeking here, your honor.

Thank you Ms. Burns.

JUDGE WILKES: We will
have order in this court

or I will have the bailiff
clear the courtroom.

Ms. Hart, do you have
any additional questions

for your client?

KAREN: No, your honor.

JUDGE WILKES: Mr.
Norrin, I'd like

to see a copy of this
report, here at the bench.

Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury.

You may step down,

You better read this now.

JUDGE WILKES: for a few moments.

We'll have a 15 minute recess.

[gavel bangs]

I was there, Jack.

The things they found.

The, um.

They were all mine.

Yeah, I, I figured that out.

You've got to understand
why it happened.

Karen, I look out
at those mountains,

and I think why can't it
be like it used to be?

I used to feel like I
was on top of the world.

I don't care about your
fucking midlife crisis!

I love you, Karen.

Fuck you.

I love you.

Son of a bitch.

Did you do it in the house?

In Sascha's room or
did you use our bed?

It only happened once.

It was a mistake.

I guess she's just
more exciting than I am.

Huh?

She's never had to work long
hours, or raise a child.

Is that what you always wanted?

She's not what I want, honey.

I don't think you
know what you want.

I don't think you've ever
known what you wanted.

You have to put
me on the stand.

I saw him rape her.

I was on the fire escape.

I tried to help but the
damn window was stuck.

You're pathetic.

All right.

It doesn't matter what
you think about me.

But you are a lawyer.

I am a witness.

Think about your client.

Your honor, I would
like to call to the stand

a new witness, Mr. Jack Hart.

Mr. Hart, for the record,
you are my husband, correct?

Yes.

Yet you deliberately chose
to withhold pertinent evidence,

from both me and this court,
prior to and during the trial.

Didn't you, Mr. Hart?

Yes.

Would you tell the court why
you elected to come forward?

Because I thought it
was an open and shut case.

So there was a tape recording.

And I thought it would
prove what I saw.

I was standing on
the fire escape.

What is your relationship
with the defendant, Mr. Hart?

We're friends.

And we were lovers a
number of years ago.

KAREN: And now?

We went rock climbing
that afternoon.

The day that Eddie died.

I took her home
to her apartment.

It just happened.

It was the only time.

That you went rock
climbing, drove her home,

or had intercourse?

Were you in Ms. Burns' apartment
when Mr. Brizzard arrived,

and were you there
to witness the events

surrounding his death?

I did.

Where were you at the time
Ms. Burns was attacked?

Standing on the fire
escape outside the window

of her apartment.

And how did you
come to be there?

Lisa told me that Brizzard
had been harassing her.

I offered to have
a talk with him,

and intercede on her behalf.

How noble.

Did you intercede on her behalf?

No.

She was afraid he might
get violent if he saw me.

She thought she
could calm him down.

There wasn't any place to hide.

I mean things were
happening so fast.

I stepped out onto
the fire escape.

I mean.

The window was stuck.

I couldn't get inside to
help when he attacked her.

And you thought keeping
silent would help Ms. Burns.

No.

No, I was trying
to protect myself,

and my family from the
damage of a scandal.

Whose idea was it
to cover up the fact

that you were ever there?

It was my idea.

If you were so concerned
about your family,

and your reputation within the
community, concerned enough

to obstruct justice,
why have you

decided to come forward now?

Because I couldn't
live with myself

if Lisa went to jail for
something I know she didn't do.

Thank you, Mr. Hart.

JUDGE WILKES: Mr.
Norrin, do you wish

to cross-examine the witness?

ASSISTANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY: No, your honor.

JUDGE WILKES: Ms.
Hart, do you have

any more witnesses to call?

KAREN: No, your honor.

JUDGE WILKES: Then Ms. Hart, do
you wish to address the court?

Your honor, given the
preponderance of evidence,

and the testimony
of an eyewitness

the defense asks for
dismissal of all charges

against Lisa Burns.

JUDGE WILKES: Mr.
Norrin, do you have

any objection to the motion?

ASSISTANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY: None, your honor.

Case dismissed.

REPORTER: Mr. Hart,
[inaudible] would like to--

Karen--

Save it, Lisa.

You got what you wanted.

Well looks like you
were right this time.

The law sure has a strange
definition of innocence,

doesn't it?

Please, I don't have
any-- comment about--

No.

No comment.

This is school property.

Private property.

Looks like you've become
quite a celebrity.

The board convened
an emergency session.

Lisa has been acquitted.

Doesn't it mean anything?

She's not the
one on trial here.

Excuse me, private property!

So when do I get to
present my side of it?

Your side of it has been
all over the TV, Jack.

That's not going
to be a hearing,

you know that, of course.

Where's Sarah?

I'm sorry, Jack.

They're gutless.

They tried and
convicted me in secret.

Jack, packing your
things was not my idea,

they insist on that.

They fired me.

For all it's worth, I think
you were a great asset here.

I'm sorry things
worked out this way.

Good luck, Jack.

GAME SHOW [ON TV]:
Alison will tell

us about our new contestant.

Mommy, how come you're
packing up daddy's stuff?

Daddy has to go away
for a while, honey.

Why does daddy
have to go away?

Daddy!

Baby.

You want to see my drawing?

Yeah, yeah.

Look it doesn't
have to be this way.

It does now.
Come on, honey.

I'm to take you
to get ice cream.

Daddy, you coming too?

I can't, honey.
You go with mommy.

I'll see you later.
- Close the door behind you.

Let's get some
ice cream for daddy.

[phone rings]

[ringing]

[hung up, dial tone]

JACK [VOICEOVER]: Eddie, please.

I'm begging you.

Eddie, please.

LISA [VOICEOVER]:
I'm begging you.

Anybody finds you here,
doll, I never saw you.

Just close the door
when you're through.

You need help with anything
else you know where to find me.

[MUSIC - QUIET RIOT, "CUM ON
FEEL THE NOIZE]

--the noise.

We'll get wild, wild, wild.

Wild, wild, wild.

So you think you've--
Tell you, honey.

And I don't know
why, don't know why.

So you think--

KAREN [VOICEOVER]: Lisa,
at this point what was

happening to you physically?

LISA [VOICEOVER]: He
was pushing me back

against the kitchen counter.

And he was penetrating me.

EDDIE [VOICEOVER]: Like
it rough, don't you?

LISA [VOICEOVER]: Ah!

EDDIE [VOICEOVER]: Argh!

LISA [VOICEOVER]:
Don't do it, Eddie.

Please.

Don't do it.

Eddie, please.

EDDIE [VOICEOVER]: Jesus.

Face at the window!

LISA [VOICEOVER]: Do it to me.

Don't do it.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop, I'll scream.

Stop.

Stop, I'll scream.

Ah!

Stop.

EDDIE [VOICEOVER]: Argh!

Ah

FRANCINE: Karen,
you think there's

a link between Eddie Brizzard
and Lisa's dead husband?

OFFICER: No, they want
us to come out to BYU.

We'll be sending
it back to the next

of kin now that
the case is over.

Is that all of
Brizzard's stuff?

No.

Um, there was some
mail forwarded here.

It happens sometimes.

The final resting
place, and all.

Want to see it?

Yeah, please.

Thank you.

Need your signature.

Call me when you
get ready to leave.

I will, thank you.

Dear combat magazine
advertiser, the contract in

your classified ad is expired.

On receipt of your payment your
ad will run again as follows.

Mercenary ready for assignment.

Wet work no problem.

Based in south-west,
will travel anywhere

for the right assignment.

Excuse me.

The woman who was here,
what time did she check out?

I think some
time this morning.

Excuse me, I'll be
back in a minute.

She didn't tell
you where she was

going by any chance, did she?

LISA [VOICEOVER]:
Some day, Jack.

We're going to climb
the Devil's Needle.

KAREN: I found this
on Lisa's husband.

William Donnelly
was shot and killed

outside the insurance agency he
owned by an unknown assailant.

Police have ruled out
robbery as a motive.

He is survived by his widow,
the former Lisa Burns.

You ever hear the
expression wet work?

Not since I left New York.

It means assassination.

Mm-hm.

Take a look at this.

Eddie Brizzard was a hired gun.

Lisa must have paid him
to kill her husband.

So she set us all up
from the beginning.

LISA [VOICEOVER]: You can't
run away from me, Jack.

We're two of a kind.

Lisa!

Lisa!

FRANK: He said he'd be back
for the rest of his things.

LISA [VOICEOVER]: You never
climbed the Needle, hmm?

JACK [VOICEOVER]:
No, I never did.

You made it.

I knew you wouldn't
let me down, Jack.

I guess I owe you one.

Fuck you.

You climbed all the way
up here to tell me that?

Why did you murder Eddie?

I killed him, Jack.

You saw him rape me.

Like hell he did.

You raped him.

Same way you raped Karen and me.

What's that supposed to mean?

I saw the transcripts.

Stop, Eddie.

Stop or I'll scream.

Well it depends on how
you say it, doesn't it?

Like you did in
court, or the way

you really said it to Eddie.

The same way that you said
it to me, in the shower.

Jack.

Never was the same
as it was with us.

Not with anyone.

You know that, don't you?

Just scares you to admit it.

Don't be scared, Jack.

Don't be scared.

You always planned
to use me as a witness?

Or was it some inspiration?

Doesn't matter does it?

It's over.

They can't try me for
the same crime twice.

It's double jeopardy.

Let's celebrate, Jack.

It's a great day for a climb.

You want to climb the Needle?

Let's do it the right way, hmm?

From now on, you're on your own.

You're on.

Ah!

Eh!

Ah.

[eagle cries]

Watch it, Jack.

I'm going to beat you again.

Huh!

Ah-- [screaming]

Lisa!

[police radio chatter]

SHERIFF: Where was it?

See that area
with a black rock?

Just lower, to the right.

Fell from right off that point.

[eagle cries]
