I think that you are
an outstanding lawyer,

and I just think that we could
do great things together.

- No doubt we could.

- You must feel like
you're responsible

for this woman's death,
and as far as I'm concerned,

if you don't
do something about it, you are.

- Bowie says he couldn't have
murdered the woman

because he was busy breaking
into Greg Fisher's house.

- The movie producer?
- I need you to get him

to give us the security footage
from his cameras.

- He signed with Erica.

- You want this?
- What do you want for it?

- You have something of mine,
and I'm here to take it back.

You saw something you wanted,

you knew how much it
mattered to me,

yet you didn't give a damn.

- You still think I did it.

- Why is it so important
I believe you?

- Because I'm a human being,
Stuart,

and I would never take
another life.

- I can't come in
and run this division

and then fall into
some kind of relationship

with a name partner.
Gotta be one or the other.

- Can I have some time
to think about it?

- Don't take too long.
- I won't.

- As your friend,
I'm telling you,

you'll look like an idiot
if you bring charges.

- Told you this was a courtesy.

We arrested him ten minutes
before I walked in here.

- I'm thinking
about getting a earring.

- No.
- No?

You had one.
- [chuckles] I was--I was 13.

And it looked way better on me
than it ever would on you.

- Man, why you got
to be like that?

- For your own protection,
Stuart.

- Time will tell.
- No, it won't.

- Fine.

You think it's going to be you?
- I know it's going to be me.

- Excuse me.
- Look at the facts, Stuart.

- The facts are,
I've outscored you

on every test we've ever taken
since our first year.

- I'm sorry,
I almost fell asleep there,

like every professor
during every oral argument

that you have ever given.

- It was one time.
Callahan had a new baby.

He got no sleep
the night before.

- He got plenty of sleep--
during your presentation.

- All right, gentlemen.

I'm sure you're both dying
to know which one of you

is number one
and which is number two.

- Dean Harris,
deliver the bad news.

Put Stuart out of his misery.

- Not so fast, Mr. Black.

For the first time
in the history of Columbia Law,

the top two students
are exactly tied.

- What?
- Really?

- Therefore,
for the first time,

the winner will be determined
by a mock trial.

- Thank God.

- Can't we just take a test
or something?

- This is a test, Mr. Lane.

A father and two sons
were in a car.

All three tested drunk.

The older brother was driving.

The father was
in the front seat.

The younger brother,
who is now in a coma,

was passed out in the back
when the older brother

hit and killed a pedestrian.

You'll recruit people
to play their parts.

The real question is,
which one of you

is going to be
the prosecution

and who is going to be
the defense?

- I don't ever want
to be defense, ever.

- That's fine by me.
- Prosecution.

- Thank you.
- Defense.

- One more thing--

you'll each be allowed
to change one fact or detail

about the case,

because in the real world,

curveballs come up at court
every day.

- Got your ass-kicking tie on.

- They're all ass-kicking ties.

- Well, if you're about
to go kick Isaac's ass,

why'd you have so much trouble
sleeping last night?

- I thought we agreed
no analyzing me

before I go to court.
- When did we agree to that?

- Right now
when I just said it.

- [chuckles]

- Isaac said something to me.
It got to me.

He said I'm responsible
for this murder

because I shared information
he gave me with my client,

and four hours later,
a woman was dead.

- Well, did you have any idea
that this might happen

when you shared it
with your client?

- Of course not.

- Well, maybe Isaac's saying
it's your fault

because he really thinks
it's his.

- What good does that do me?

- If you can see
that it isn't his fault,

maybe you can see
it isn't yours.

- Okay, what was so important
it couldn't wait?

- Your Honor,
I asked for this hearing

because this case
should never go to trial.

- Said every
defense lawyer ever.

We have more than enough
evidence to proceed.

- And last I checked, the judge
is the one who decides that.

- What's this?

- Security-camera footage
which proves David Bowie

was at a different location
when Janet Fields was murdered.

- You've got to be kidding me.

You're saying
he couldn't have murdered her

because he was robbing
someone else?

- Yes, I am, and if you want
to charge him

with that, Isaac, be my guest.

- I have to say,

this is compelling grounds
for dismissal.

- Your Honor,
I want to subpoena the person

who gave him this footage.

- He has nothing
to do with this.

- They're using this footage
as an alibi,

and I don't know anything
about where it came from

or the person
who gave it to them.

- Would you like to examine
the guy who installed

the security cameras?

Or, oh, what about the man
who invented film?

- If it helps prove
that evidence is a lie,

I'll subpoena your mother.

- My mother wouldn't get caught
on film.

- Okay, that's enough.

The footage is compelling,
but Mr. Adani can question

the man who provided it.
- Your Honor, I think--

- Whatever you're going to say,
save it till next time.

We're done here.

What's going on?

- I just got a subpoena
for Greg Fisher

to answer questions
about that security footage.

- And?
- I need you to make sure

Greg's dirty laundry
doesn't get aired in public.

- Why are you asking me
and not Stuart?

- A few years ago,
Stuart took something from me.

I couldn't stand it.

And I couldn't stand
the way he took it.

So I used that security footage
as leverage to get it back,

and I didn't do it gently.

- So he won't do this for you,
but he might do it for me.

- Yes.

- I'll take care of it.

- Thank you.

- Wait a second.

Is this why your mother's
sculpture suddenly reappeared?

- It is.

- What do you mean you couldn't
stand the way he took it?

He stole it?

- No, he tricked me.

He made me look like a fool.

- How?

- [sighs]

- Ted, I want to go over
the ground rules.

- Can it wait a minute, Stuart?
I'm going to go on a run.

Unless you'd like to join me.
- You know I can't do that.

The Lane men suffer
from knock-knees.

It's not a laughing matter.

- [laughing] I'm sorry.
It's not a laughing matter.

Okay, Stuart. Hit me.
What would you like to discuss?

- I want to know if we're
in a gunfight or a knife fight.

- Stuart, you're my roommate,
my best friend, and I love you,

but I'm going to tear you
to pieces,

and I don't want you to come
crying to me when I win.

- That's exactly
what I wanted to hear,

because when this is
all said and done,

you're going to be
the one crying.

- Okay.

Um...
[laughing]

B-before we actually
get started here,

there is--there is one thing.

I would...

I would really like Eddie
to play the younger brother.

- The brother's in a coma.
He won't have anything to do.

- I know, but I want him
to have a chance

to feel like he's part
of the action.

- That's a great idea.

Of course...

on one condition.

I get to pick
all the other parts.

- Are you kidding me?

I'm trying to do a nice thing
for my brother here.

You're going to leverage it?

- You just said
we're in a gunfight.

This is war.
War is hell.

- That was a test. I wouldn't
have it any other way.

- All right, hey, you want
to do the thing one time

before we're on opposite sides?

- We're already
on opposite sides.

- Come on.

- [sighs]
Okay.

- Really?

- No.

- War really is hell.

- May I speak with you
for a second?

- What is it?
- The last time that we spoke,

you were, uh,
looking for an answer,

and I had some unexpected
business in New York.

But I thought about it a lot,
and I have one.

- It doesn't matter.

- I thought that we
were going to have

a conversation about this.
- I thought so, too.

And then you disappeared
for a week.

- So that's it?

- I don't know
what you want me to say.

Actions speak louder
than words.

I've been up and running

as the head of the
Criminal Division since Monday.

- Okay.

Well, uh, if you are up
and running,

then we need to make
an announcement

as soon as possible.

Big, splashy case, preferably
related to entertainment--

Do you have anything
that fits the bill?

- You know Sierra Carson?
- Of course I do.

Teen star accused
of assaulting her father.

That will make
a great announcement.

- Not quite.
- Why?

- Because I still
haven't signed her.

- Then we're getting off
on the wrong foot.

- What's going on, Ted?
- Nothing's going on.

But the answer to the question,

"do you have anything that fits
the bill?" should've been no.

[dramatic music]

- Let me get this straight.

You want me to play
the part of a therapist?

- Well, you are studying
to be a therapist.

- I think that's a bad idea.

- Why?

- Because you and Ted
are friends.

This has trouble
written all over it,

not to mention that you said
the gloves are off.

I mean, he's going to use me
against you.

- All Ted can do is ask

if the brother admitted
to feeling guilt in session.

And when he does,
I come in and say,

you're covered
by doctor-patient privilege.

Nothing more can happen.
Trust me.

- Stuart, why is this
so important to you?

- You told me you fell in love
with Alan Sepiol

while watching him win
debate club regionals.

- That was high school.

- I saw the look on your face

when you were telling me
about watching him.

- And you want me
to have that same look

when I'm watching you?
- Yes.

And the only reason
you'd say no

is if you think
I can't beat him.

- You have got to get over
this chip on your shoulder

that you think
he's better than you.

- What do you think
I'm trying to do?

- Okay, I'll do it.
- You're the best.

- Yeah,
I'm the best girlfriend ever.

dragged into your case.

called Fisher as a witness.

- No, but you're the one
that knows what was stolen.

of Fisher's co-star

on that sex tape?
- Yes.

And you better make damn sure
that none of that comes out.

- I don't appreciate your tone.
- I don't care.

You asked for my help.

I got Erica to do this.
We owe her.

- Well, he's got
to say something

about what was stolen.

- What he's going to say
is the truth.

Two pieces of jewelry
and 20,000 in cash

were taken from that safe,
and that is it.

- Fine.

I'll do my best
to keep the rest out of it.

- No, that's not good enough.

Erica told me what you did
to get her mother's sculpture,

and you owe her a hell of a lot

- Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury, I'll be brief.

The defendant was drunk.

He plowed into the victim,

killing him
in his father's BMW,

and he admitted to all of this
at the scene.

This trial will be short.

Your only job is deciding
what the punishment should be.

- Your Honor, the prosecution
and I agree on one thing.

This is going to be
a short trial,

because in lieu
of opening statements,

I move for a directed verdict.

- Objection.
On what basis?

Who was driving the car

on the night the victim
was killed?

- I was.
- And yet, at the scene,

your son said
he was the one driving.

Why would he do that?

- Because he wanted
to protect me.

- Why would you let him do it?
- Because I was drunk.

And I was touched by the depth
of his feelings for me.

But I had to come forward,

because as much as he loves me,
I love him even more.

- Dean, I'm sorry
to break character,

but I want to go
on the record as saying

that if Stuart
is going to go down this road,

this counts
as his one allowance

to change the facts
of the case.

- I didn't change anything.

I simply informed my client

if his father was really
the one driving that car,

this case would be over.

- You mean you got that bastard
to lie on the stand?

- I would never suborn perjury
in a moot court

or anywhere else.

- No, you'd just bring
my father into it.

what exactly was stolen
the night your security camera

conveniently caught Mr. Bowie
on tape?

- A watch, a bracelet that
belonged to my grandmother,

and $20,000 cash.

- Family heirloom.
How sad.

You must have called the police

the second you discovered
what was missing.

- I never called the police.

- So money and things of
sentimental value were stolen,

yet you never reported it.

Why would that be?

- I used other channels
to get it back.

because you staged
this whole thing

as a favor to David Bowie.

Mr. Fisher, isn't it true
that you hired David Bowie

six months ago?

- Yes, I did.

- For what?

- And I'd rather you did.

an item of mine

that someone else had.

- So you hired him
to commit a crime?

- I didn't ask
how he got it back.

how he got it back.

- Objection.
- He committed a crime for you

or got it back by some miracle.

Either way, you have a soft
spot in your heart for him.

- You set up this whole fake
robbery to create an alibi.

- Your Honor. Your Honor!

having sex with Dana David,

who's married
to the head of the studio

who controls
every project you have.

And isn't it true
that affair coming out

could ruin your career?

- I guess
we're about to find out.

- So he stole that tape
to blackmail you,

and you hate him for it?
- He did, and I do.

- Your Honor...

we've provided
rock-solid evidence

David Bowie could not have
committed this murder.

The prosecution's
ridiculous theory

that these two fabricated
this evidence

has been blown
out of the water.

He tried.
He failed.

This case never
should have been brought

in the first place.

It's time for it
to be dismissed.

I'm dismissing the charges.

- Stuart, I need to know
what you're planning for Eddie.

- I'm going to ask him
some questions.

He's going to read
from a script

that says the father said that
he was the one driving the car

to protect the brother.

And the brother let him do it
because he hates the father,

hates Eddie,
and is a selfish bastard

that would do anything
to protect his own skin.

- Are you seriously going to
make Eddie say that I hate him?

- No, I'm going to have him say
his fictitious brother

hates his character.

- He can't tell
the difference, Stuart.

- Neither could Helen.

- You're the one
who picked her.

- And you picked Eddie.
- Not to testify.

I wanted him to feel
like he was a part of things.

- Well, now he is
a part of things.

And if him getting
a little upset

is the price
he has to pay for me winning--

- Jesus, Stuart, you used
my father, I used Helen!

We're even!

- I don't want to be even!

- Okay.
All right, no, I get it.

This is about you
being jealous of me

and just doing anything to win.

- No, this is about you being
jealous that I'm going to win.

If you want to stop me from
putting Eddie on the stand,

all you have to do is forfeit.

admitting to everyone

that I'm better than you.

[footsteps approaching]

- I hear things went well.

Why do you look
like someone killed your puppy?

- Because I used
falsified evidence.

- What am I looking at?
- Bowie's alibi.

Something about it
kept gnawing at me,

so I came back
to take a look at it.

- He doctored the time stamp?

- It's not even him.
- I see his face right there.

- That's what he wants you
to focus on.

But inside,
he's masked the whole time.

He breaks in at the time
of Janet Fields' death,

voids the alarms,
hacks the safe, gets the goods.

By the time we get to this
last shot, it's an hour later.

- Isn't it continuous?
- Almost.

He reaches the door
at 2:35 a.m. and 37 seconds.

Then he goes out of frame
and reappears outside...

20 feet away.
- At 2:35 a.m. and 37 seconds.

- So, unless he can teleport
in zero time...

- This isn't real.
- No, it's not.

I was so stuck on the fact
that if Bowie were guilty,

he must have hired
someone to kill her.

But the more
I thought about it,

if he wanted Janet Fields dead,

he would have done it himself.

- Stuart.
- He murdered that woman

because of me, and I'm the
reason he got away with it.

- Stuart, do not do
what you are thinking.

you shouldn't have looked

at it in the first place.
