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.

This is nuts.

I'm not doing this
after 7:00 again.

Honey, we're not exactly
alone here.

Two kids come up with knives,

and these yups will
run to our rescue?

This is no way to lose weight.

Maybe I'll get
my stomach stapled.

Honey,
you have an eating disorder.

You need professional help.

Sam?

Plastic jogging suits, $400.

Whatever happened
to sweatpants?

If I wanna be warm
for a late-night run,

I'd rather go to Florida.

Girl was strangled.

Lividity, the rigor,
I'd say three hours tops.

No sign of rape.

Gorham, Jennifer, 31.

Doctor at St. Theresa's.

Guy grabs her purse,

was running down
Central Park West

tossing stuff out as he goes.

Found the pills at 90th Street,

the make-up thing at 86.

Has her initials.
Checkbook at 78th.

No cash, no plastic.

You gonna ask him, Lennie?

Breaks my heart.

Hate to make him look stupid.

Detectives Einstein
and Galileo, excuse me.

You think, uh, that this
young lady was homeless?

This a trick question?

The keys,
did you find the keys?

See, if you don't find
a key ring,

it means maybe
somebody else has it.

Go check
the breadcrumb trail again,

and in the meantime,

put somebody on her door
so that nobody gets inside.

First-year guys,
like puppies.

You gotta show them the stick
before you throw it.

And the flashlight?

Thank you.

Judging from the bruises,

I'd say he went at her
from the front.

He must have been
staring straight at her.

If you're thinking prints,
forget it.

He wore gloves.

You're gonna take
somebody's purse...

I know you bash her head in,

stick a knife in her ribs,

you pull on
the strap until it snaps.

Yeah. So, what kind of
mugger strangles?

Unless they knew each other.

You smell romance?

Love at last sight.

Hey, you know as many
crackheads as I do.

I don't know any
who mug on 94th Street

and break into
apartments on 21st.

What did she have here
he wanted?

And he strangles her,
he comes 50 blocks.

He leaves the TV,
he leaves the VCR.

Look at this.
He leaves the desk clean.

This guy probably
makes his bed in the morning.

Gentlemen,
that's a Medeco lock.

He couldn't have picked that
if he was Willie Sutton.

He used the keys.

I had a woman last winter,

got mugged outside
a fundraiser,

Metropolitan Museum.

Guy takes her purse,
never looks back.

He winds up with $36.

He left the fur.

Right.

Now this place,
the guy went over

like he was taking inventory.

This girl was
killed by a junkie,

then I believe Elvis is
at Radio City tonight.

You have no ideas?

Whatever he wanted,

it wasrt on
the pawnshop Top 10.

It's ground floor.

You don't need a PhD to get in.

Why strangle her
and travel 50 blocks?

It's one motive to kill,
another to steal.

What's a doctor got, anyway?
State secrets?

Hospital said she changed
her shift last-minute.

Didrt say where she was headed.

Cragen.

Yeah. Thanks.

The parents never
got your message,

went to the apartment
looking for the girl.

They're at the morgue now
with the boyfriend.

Why would Jenny be in the park?

She won't even take the subway.

We think your daughter
may have known her attacker.

Was there anything
in Jenny's apartment

that somebody might've wanted?

What are you saying?
She was a doctor.

Ellen, I don't think
that matters.

She didn't have
anything valuable.

The hospital said
she left in a hurry.

Did she mention any trouble?

Mr. Garrett?

No, Jenny would've told me.

Something was wrong
when you called.

Something bad.

I should have done something.

You called them tonight?

I was worried.
She was late.

What time did you call?

Around 8:15.

Geez.

God.

Never took the gloves off.

No prints on
the purse or anything in it.

Hospital's on the East Side.

You walk across the park
at night for exercise?

Hey, the boyfriend's
in the Village.

What's she doing
on the West Side?

What time did Danny boy
say he called the parents?

Mother said 8:15.

Ah, excuse me, I put on
the wrong cologne today?

He says he was waiting for her.

When she didn't come,
so he called her parents.

He must have used
a carrier pigeon.

There's no calls to anybody

from his apartment
after 6:30.

Did I say I was home?
I went out for a walk.

You said you were
waiting for Jenny.

I was upset.
I called her parents

from a pay phone on the street.

Why? Does it matter?

You called her parents?

If somebody's looking for me,
they call my precinct.

I called the hospital twice.

We were gonna do
Chinese for dinner.

I thought she forgot.

Look, I-I-I'm trying to
get through this.

I've got nobody to
cover my classes.

I've got a 2:00. I'm sorry.

So he was upset
and went for a walk,

or he wasrt
and wanted to go to dinner.

Or he was worried
and called the hospital.

Kid's got more stories
than the Arabian Nights.

He said he used
a pay phone, right?

He's out on the street,
he's gotta raise his voice.

Background noise?
I don't remember.

Did you talk to him,
Mr. Gorham?

Leonard was in the study.

Why are you asking about this?

Dan and Jenny
were... were just like us.

They were a happy couple.

On the phone, when Dan called,

maybe you heard
music or traffic...

We know what happened.
She was attacked.

Someone broke
into her apartment.

Ellen, what about
the psychiatrist?

It's won'th a try.

Maybe she knows something.

Dan and Jenny saw
this woman together.

Nervous jitters
about the wedding.

This doctor's got
a big reputation.

Diane Meade.

Teaches at Physiciars Hospital.

I tell my students:

"Don't think
you're invulnerable

just because you're young."

Oh, this is terrible.

I don't know how much
help I can be.

I only saw her briefly.

We're thinking
whoever killed her

might have known her.

Her boyfriend was also
one of your patients.

Danny?

Detective, you might as well
ask if she strangled herself.

Mr. Garrett
seems a little edgy.

Well, his girlfriend's
just been murdered.

If you're asking if they had
a history of violence,

the answer is no.

History changes.

She was attacked this week.

I'm her psychiatrist.
I would know.

Can't you tell us anything that
might have led to her being killed?

There is one thing.

I don't know
if it's significant.

She had
a self-esteem problem.

If she felt insecure,
she might drink too much,

make passes at men.

It was just for the attention.

She'd never follow through.

If I was her boyfriend,

I'd have
a follow-through of my own.

Dan didn't know.

Jenny told me this
in her own session.

I feel a little uncomfortable
talking about my patients.

You said she might
drink too much?

She was a surgical resident.

I didn't say she had
a drinking problem.

I can't believe
it affected her work.

You've got the wrong doctor.

I supervised her on rounds.

Well, unless I'm reading
the wrong newspapers,

doctors aren't exactly
strangers to substance abuse.

I sat next to Jenny
at the annual picnic.

A drinker?

Two glasses of champagne,

she switched to mineral water.

I'm not saying
she was a picture of bliss.

Surgeons never are.

Most people aren't
blissful, doctor,

but not many of them wind up

getting strangled
in Central Park.

You don't think she was mugged?

I, uh,

I pulled her file
when you called.

Now, I don't know
if it means anything

but two, three months ago,
late, end of her shift,

her boyfriend, Mr. Garrett,
came by to pick her up.

Apparently he was
a little wired.

She took him upstairs.

To cool him down?

To the psychiatric ward.

I wouldn't give you information

about a homeless
methadone case.

Obviously I can't
release records

about one of our own residents.

Listen, doc,
she brought him up here,

she wasrt a patient.

We really do have to know.

And they say
doctors are bullies.

There are rules.

Now, if you could think of a
way I wouldn't violate them...

You mean like if a murderer
was about to flee?

Is that gonna happen?

You don't wanna know.

Garrett, Daniel.
October 12, 10:40 p. m.

Highly agitated,
given intravenous meroxin,

checked out 11:58.

They doped him up
and let him go?

We wanted to keep him here.

According to this, it was One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Our resident
and his psychiatrist.

Read between the lines.

They practically threw
furniture at each other.

Who was throwing what?
Who checked him out?

His private psychiatrist.

Made a lot of noise.

Dr. Diane Meade.

It was a bad week.
My computer crashed.

I lost 40 pages.

My son said he made a mistake.

He shouldn't have
been in a hospital.

Mom.

Why are you doing this?

You tell her parents
you think I killed her.

You embarrass me
with her mother.

I stayed in the hospital
to calm down Jenny.

Your girlfriend always
try to commit you

when things werert
going too well?

Or were you there
because she drank

and hit on other men?

Your therapist tells us
maybe you werert enough.

Dr. Meade talked to you?

About me and Jenny?

Dr. Meade wouldn't do that.

Hey, my girlfriend went
after other guys,

I could lose my temper.

That's a lie.
Dr. Meade wouldn't say that.

You've done damage
to my patient.

I told you that in confidence.

You didn't tell us
he was still your patient.

I'm in a difficult position.

My former patient of mine
is murdered.

My code of ethics says

I'm not even supposed to
tell you who my patients are.

Doc, we opened the door,

you could've pushed us through.

Miss Gorham was a young doctor.

Her instinct with
someone she loved

was to put him in the hospital.

Understandable,
admirable, and wrong.

All right,
let's be clear about this.

The hospital admitted him,
and they gave him the drugs.

If I went in there
with a mild panic attack,

they'd sedate me.

Dr. Meade, you told us
Jenny Gorham drank.

Now, how come
no one else noticed,

including Mr. Garrett?

We do all kinds of things.

The people we love
don't always know.

I've looked at my
responsibility here.

I've decided what I can
and can't say.

I've already said too much.

We told her the first time that
we saw her the kid was a suspect.

Yeah, privilege or not,
she could've told us

that she bailed him out
of a hospital.

Fellas, when you're finished
tag-teaming the doc,

let me remind you
that she's protected

by statute from
giving patient information.

Maybe you've heard
malpractice insurance

costs more than
the debt of Bolivia.

Well, I'm not
planning to sue her.

ME's report on the Gorham girl.

Better than bedside reading.

Blood alcohol level, 0.15.

Are we wrong about this?

What, she got drunk
and picked up the wrong guy?

They found her at 94th, right?

How many bars you think
there are in 10 square blocks?

I eat any more peanuts,
I'm gonna be sick.

What's the matter?
It brings back bad memories?

I can't complain about those.

Just the morning after.

Well, how many more bars
you wanna hit?

Until we find out something,

or until I finally
order a drink.

Who's this? Natalie Wood?

I don't think
she's been in here.

I think she drowned out
in California.

You know, I missed
your act at the Improv.

Now, you wanna tell me
if you recognize her or not?

Used to come in once a week.

Boy-did-I-have-a-hard-day-
on-the-phone.

After-work office crowd.

I don't know,
I felt sorry for her.

She sat alone,

gobbled up
happy-hour food.

Boss didn't like it.

Sucking up chicken wings,
not buying drinks.

What did she drink?

Seltzer, straight up.

Till a week ago,
she comes in, really quiet.

Sits down looking at her watch,

like she's supposed
to meet somebody.

This time it's gin,
enough to fill the tub.

You know,
it's like the Twilight Zone.

Everybody says
she didn't drink.

The bartender says seltzer,
except for last week.

Yeah, and the shrink says
she drank all the time.

Like she knows the girl was
loaded when she got hit.

Oh, so now it's a conspiracy.

The doc makes up a story about

the girl's drinking
to cover the Garrett kid.

We're missing something.

Yeah, well, let's start
with "M" for "motive."

No, that's not what I mean.

Diane?

Look, we found the girl
in the park at 94th street.

She got hammered on gin
at the Elephant Bar here.

Stuff from her purse
we found here,

here, and here.

Okay, so where's
the buried treasure?

Here.

71st Street in
Central Park West.

Dr. Diane Meade.

What, and the dead girl
had an appointment with her?

Dr. Meade said
she was briefly a patient.

The Garrett kid still is.

Okay, she's sittir in the bar,

she checks her watch,
she gets up and leaves.

So what if the boyfriend's
gettir his head shrunk?

She goes over to meet him.

They walk uptown,
go into the park,

and he kills her.

The shrink forgot to tell you
he had an appointment?

I got a feeling there's a lot
this shrink forgot to tell us.

Okay. Let's call the boyfriend
in for a chat.

You finally
figure it out, Danny?

What the hell
were you looking for

in Jennifer's apartment?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

After you dragged her
into the park.

What did you want?

Listen to me,
you piece of crap.

You emptied her desk.

You got fingerprints
on the handles.

That's not true.

Oh, but you did go
to the apartment.

What happened that night?
She tease you?

She tell you about
her other boyfriends?

Is this kid ever
gonna ask for a lawyer?

We offered twice, he won't ask.

He thinks it'll
make him look guilty.

You been sitting here an hour,

telling one lie
after another!

I think that's your cue.

Hey, Lennie.

You wanted to
kill her, didn't you?

But you had to wait
till she was drunk!

Hey! Come on! Come on!

Don't do that.

What are you doing?
Come on.

What are you doir?

I'm sorry.

Look,
he's a little high-strung.

You want some coffee?

We got a soda machine,
you need a soda?

You want anything?

I'm sorry about that.

I wanna help you, Dan.

So, let's just start
at the beginning, okay?

W- Why was Jenny
gonna meet you?

She was my girlfriend.

Yeah, I know.
I mean, but...

Was there any
trouble between you?

I mean, she was pretty looped.

Dan, listen to me.

You're gonna feel a lot better
if you just tell us.

I didn't kill her.

I already know
you killed her, Dan.

I just wanna know
how it happened.

You told Dr. Meade, right?

Eventually she's gonna
have to tell us.

She won't tell you anything.

Dent number one:
He admits he told the shrink.

Donny gets the toaster oven.

Well.

You figure he saw the shrink
before he did it?

He strangles her, freaks.

Where'd he call
the parents from?

Dr. Meade's office.

Call to the Gorhams, 8:19.

Uh-huh.

Who did this, huh, pal?

You didn't even have
the decency to cover her up.

Would you stop it, please?

The kid feels bad enough
as it is. Come on.

You do feel bad, don't you?

You went to Dr. Meade's,
and you asked for help.

You even called Jenny's
parents from her office, right?

She was pretty.

It was her birthday
this week, wasrt it?

I just wanted it to be okay.

I couldn't be
with both of them.

You couldn't be with who, Dan?

If she just brought the diary.

She was supposed to bring it.

You gotta understand,
I need her.

She wanted me.

Jenny didn't understand.
It wasrt just the sex.

I have to be with her.

I need her.

Yeah, sure.
You needed Jenny.

No.

Diane.

Diane?

Dr. Meade.

At least consider
the possibility.

Depraved. Indifference.
Murder two.

Manslaughter.
Extreme emotional disturbance.

He was having a love affair
with his shrink.

Even if it's true,
he admitted motive.

You're in the hospital
for gallbladder surgery,

they cut your leg.

You don't think
that happens in psychiatry?

He went in well,
he came out sick.

Says Mr. Garrett.

Ben, he did not
intend to kill the girl.

It became a tug of war:

The shrink versus Jenny Gorham.

You know how strongly I feel?

I got a show cause order.

Dr. Meade is barred
from visiting him at Rikers.

Carol, before we plead him,

I've gotta know more
about his state of mind.

Okay. Send in your shrink.

I guarantee, you won't
be asking 25-to-life.

I don't know how it happened.

You loved her.

I didn't think
anybody could love me.

Do you still feel that way?

Dan, I need to see the records
of your treatment.

It doesn't matter.

It does matter.

You don't wanna
hurt Diane, do you?

The records could help us
keep you out of prison.

I need your permission.

Okay.

Was it Jenny's idea
to see a therapist?

Mine.

No, maybe hers.

I wanted it to work.
She didn't like it.

She thought Dr. Meade
was on your side.

If only she'd
brought the diary.

Tell me about the diary.

It's just my thoughts
and feelings.

About your affair with Diane.

You didn't think
anyone would read it.

But Jenny did.

I had to get it back.

I couldn't lose Diane.

She said she couldn't
see me again.

You found the diary at Jenny's.

I didn't.
I don't know where it is.

You still want to
see Diane, don't you?

Does Diane know I'm here?

Could you tell her?

Could you tell her
I have to see her?

You invaded her office.

We had a warrant, Larry.

A subpoena would've been fine.

We were concerned that
Dr. Meade's patient records

might not exist
after the subpoena.

We're interested in
her actions in this case.

Aha, reality's on vacation.

Are you suggesting
that it's my fault?

He was angry,
but nobody could've foreseen

he would hurt somebody.

Mr. Garrett says you were
having a love affair.

I'm his psychiatrist.

Besides, I'm old enough
to be his mother.

Uh, Doctor, Daniel Garrett
was at your office

the night he killed
Jennifer Gorham.

I was going over some notes,

and I asked him to
wait in the living room.

About ten minutes later
he said he'd changed his mind

and he wanted to go home.

He certainly didn't
tell me he killed the girl.

I'm getting
a strange sensation here.

What is it, the coffee?

You thinking of charging
Dr. Meade?

Uh, maybe we can settle this
before it gets any further.

Doctor, would you be willing
to meet with

Elizabeth Olivet,
our psychiatrist?

Diane, I... I... I urge you...

Larry, I've nothing to hide.

Diane, I remind you that my...

Please. Have Dr. Olivet
call me for an appointment.

It's hard to tell
from your notes.

Do you take long notes?

My patients,
if I write something,

they want to know why.

Well, do you have to tell 'em?

I don't wanna fight
for control of this session.

I'm basically an Adlerian,
anyway.

I never bought Adler.

Everything's about power.

It's the human experience.

The need for control.

You saw my conclusions.

The Gorham woman, Dan,

ignored as children,

wanted from each other
what their parents took away.

What did you want from him?

Elizabeth.

Are you neutral here?

Were you neutral
with Dan Garrett?

Dan fantasized
a sexual relationship with me.

It didn't exist.

I can't imagine
it hasn't happened to you.

My turn for a question.

You have a patient.
You do your best.

He commits suicide.

Do you feel responsible?

If I was having sex
with him, I might.

I wasrt.

There's no room for debate.

You want us to plead him?

Dan Garrett had
no capacity to form intent.

Diane Meade turned him
into a dependent child.

Isn't motive intent?

He wanted to
protect the shrink.

Listen to what you're saying.

It was her job to protect him.

"Tell me about your mother."

"What are your
deepest sexual fantasies?"

This is what a patient
tells his psychiatrist.

He gives up his entire self.

Diane Meade turned Dan Garrett

into a stick of dynamite
and lit the fuse.

Yeah, but, Liz,
you're not suggesting

we indict Diane Meade?

I'll testify at the grand jury.

Lawyers don't
criticize lawyers.

You've something personal here?

I mean about psychiatrists?

When they sleep
with their patients,

I sure do.

She's strong, he's weak.

And he lied about the diary.

He found it. He's terrified
of turning on her.

So, according to you,
Meade killed the girl

and the boy was
just the instrument.

That's a fair translation.

You want us to do what?

The medical establishment will
have my head for breakfast.

Forget the public relations,
Adam.

Think about the law.

What's the theory?

His doctor ordered the boy
to kill his girlfriend?

She created a situation in
which she knew it could happen.

The boy had no defenses,

his identity depended
on Dr. Meade.

I see.

Prosecution based
on mind control.

Most juries think
psychiatry is witchcraft.

Well, we'll tell them
otherwise.

I talked to her.
I read her notes.

Dan Garrett went into her
office unappy and confused.

When she was done,
he couldn't live without her.

The most important
relationship of his life,

she threatens to cut him off.

She had to know
he could turn violent.

That's the law
we're talking about:

Reckless disregard.

She's successful, respected.

Why'd she do it?

Who can explain
sexual obsessions?

Many psychiatrists have
fantasies of their patients.

Most of us handle it.
She crossed the line.

The boy murdered the girl.

His doctor didn't have
her hands

around the girl's neck.

We hold
psychiatrists responsible

for their patients' behavior.

Yes, in civil cases.

They pay damages,
it's called malpractice.

Seven states, Adam.

It is a crime for a therapist
to have sex with her patient.

Has any psychiatrist ever been
held criminally responsible

for his patient's behavior?

That's the glory of the system.

First time sets precedent.

I don't wanna think
where this is heading.

The boy is your case.

Find a way to make
the jury believe him.

And Briscoe and Logan
talked to all their friends.

Not one of them
backed up the kid.

Jenny Gorham was ashamed.

Think she'd tell anyone she's
not having sex with her boyfriend

because he's doing it
with his therapist?

A jury needs
a reason to believe him,

assuming he'll even testify.

And with all due respect, Liz,
I need a reason.

Do you think Meade would visit
the kid if she could?

Yeah, I think
she has to be worried.

So we call Carol Janssen,

have that
show cause order lifted,

and make sure
the kid knows about it.

A warrant to tape?

Oh, Ben, we can't tape him.
He's a defendant.

Not if we plead him.

So drop the papers tonight,

and the kid cannot know
about the taping.

You look tired.

It's hard to sleep in here.

Diane, I wanna kill myself.

I'll never have to
please anybody again.

You're still angry.

No, I'm not angry, Danny.

The lawyer told me to do it.

Don't you still love me?

I can't get through this
without you.

I need you to put
your arms around me.

We don't know how long
you're gonna be in jail.

I need to make love to you.

I think about it at night,
I can't sleep.

I'll protect you.

Will you take care of me?

What else are you
gonna tell them?

I wouldn't have
told them about us.

I was scared.

You're still scared, Danny.

No.

No, I'm not.

I'm scared you don't love me.

Me loves you.

Me loves you, too.

Me misses you a lot.

Me misses you, too.

She didn't say they had sex.

He said it.

It backs up his credibility
on everything else.

Uh-huh. On the way out.

Diane Meade,
you're under arrest

for the murder of
Jennifer Gorham.

You've the right
to remain silent.

Anything you do say
can and will be used

against you in a court of law.

You have the right
to an attorney.

Taping in
a prison visiting room.

Do they plan on
tapping my phone?

I won't be giving them a
warrant for that, Mr. Webber.

No right to counsel
has been violated.

Mr. Garrett
had a plea bargain.

That is not the issue here.

What happened to
patient privilege?

It's his privilege.
He waived it.

She had
an expectation of privacy.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Can we get on to
the larger issue?

Ben, Mr. Garrett's plea,
when was it entered?

The agreement is in place.

The entering it is
just a formality.

What is this, a dinner party?

Who gets the gold napkin ring?

Plea is final when
approved by a court.

Your Honor,
with all due respect,

his rights are
not at stake here.

It's a constitutional right,

so what if he didn't get hurt?

Privacy expectatiors
a little muddy.

Difficult case.

Crummy warrant.

The tape is inadmissible.

Constitutional right
to counsel.

He was looking for a reason
to exclude the tape.

Reads the editorial page.

Psychiatrists have better
lobbyists than oil companies.

What kind of witness
is this kid?

We don't know.

Olivet will be
good on the stand.

Put me on the stand.
I'll be good, too.

Wanna go ahead?
Indict for man two.

Leaves you room
to bring it down.

You still need to
back up the kid.

What about the diary?

Supports his testimony.

Yeah.

I read your memos
like holy writ.

I don't have his diary.

Paul, call Liz.

Tell her I wanna see the
Garrett kid as soon as possible.

Diane said she'd leave you.

She threatened you.

Is that how we treat
people we love?

Dan?

You did find
the diary at Jenny's.

Dan?

Dan?

We're trying to
make this work for you.

You gotta help us
make it work for us.

We need your diary
to convince a jury.

So you put Diane in jail?

If she's responsible, maybe.

It's at my mother's place

in the bottom drawer
of my dresser.

The relationship between
a patient and a psychiatrist

is one of the most powerful
in the patient's life.

Why is it so powerful?

Patients are
desperate for help.

They put all their faith in
a therapist as an authority.

So they're susceptible
to almost anything

the therapist says.

How would you characterize sex

between a patient
and a therapist?

It's exploitation and abuse.

Even if the patient
wants a sexual relationship

the therapist should know

that it's not based
on love but dependence.

The alleged sexual relationship

between Dr. Meade
and Mr. Garrett,

how would that
affect Mr. Garrett?

Objection.

Counsel will approach.

She can't testify about
the boy's state of mind.

He'll do that himself.

Uh, People v. Cowell.

Your Honor,
testimony on state of mind

is allowed when
the subject is beyond

the jury's normal experience.

It's parallel, Mr. Webber.

This is certainly beyond
ordinary experience.

Objection overruled.

Dr. Olivet?

Dan Garrett's relationship
with Dr. Meade

left him entirely dependent.

He'd become a child,
as if he needed her for food.

Without her affections he
literally believed he would die.

Lf, as alleged,

Dr. Meade threatened
to end that relationship,

do you think she would have
known that Mr. Garrett

would have grown violent?

Yes, I think
she should've known.

Thank you.

It started as once a week.

She said I should come twice,
then three times.

Some weeks I'd go every day.

Who made the appointments?

Diane, Dr. Meade.

She'd call me at home,

sometimes at school in the lab,

if she had a free hour
I would go.

Mr. Garrett,
how often did you have sex

with Dr. Meade?

Almost every session,

four or five times a week,
sometimes more.

And what did Dr. Meade
say about your relationship

with Jennifer Gorham?

She said Jenny was controlling.

She called her

a manipulative bitch.

When Jenny found my diary,

she told me if I didn't
stop seeing Diane,

she'd give the diary
to the hospital

and Diane would be ruined.

And what did Dr. Meade say?

She said if I didn't
get it back,

she'd never see me again.

Now describe for the court
what happened

the night you killed
Jennifer Gorham.

I told Jenny
I'd break up with Diane.

I tried to end it,

but we made love
on the couch in her office.

Jenny was waiting
for me outside.

I couldn't lie to her,

she got angry.

She said she didn't
bring the diary.

I grabbed her.

I didn't mean to,
it just happened.

Thank you.

Mr. Garrett, all this time
you were seeing Dr. Meade,

were you, uh, happy?

I was depressed.

I didn't know what was
happening to my life.

So you needed
professional help.

Now, you testified

that Dr. Meade
would no longer see you

unless you broke up
with Miss Gorham.

Did Dr. Meade tell you
this was necessary

for your mental health?

She said I was too dependent.

Did she tell you
that after a period

away from Miss Gorham
that you might be

able to re-establish
the relationship

in a healthy way?

No, she said
I could be with her.

That we'd always be together.

And you wanted to spend your
life with her, didn't you?

I thought about her
all the time.

You... you were
obsessed by her.

Now, are you testifying

that Dr. Meade
was obsessed with you?

She said we could be together,

she promised me.

Mr. Garrett,
did Dr. Meade tell you

to strangle Jennifer Gorham?

No, of course not.

I needed Diane!

I couldn't go on without her.

They believed him.

She's in a bind, Adam.

Can she admit
she had sex with him?

The jury already thinks
she did.

Is this about facts?
There are no facts.

You wanna believe
she was reckless,

define "reckless."

She threatened him,
he was volatile,

she knew. She's guilty.

Emotions plus logic,

just hope that they put
them together the way you do.

Yeah.

Oh, no.

Thank you.

The Garrett boy is in
the Rikers hospital ward.

Tried to hang himself
in his cell.

Mr. Garrett was
very depressed.

Clinically it's called
a borderline disorder.

Feelings of power
mixed with deep insecurity.

Did you have
a sexual relationship

with Mr. Garrett?

Yes, I did.

Is that considered ethical?

No, it's not.

I felt he needed
untraditional methods

to learn to trust.

To see another
human being as giving.

I admit it was unconventional.

And yet you went ahead.

One of the central ideas
of therapy

is to give a patient
a safe place

to do and say anything.

Mr. Garrett felt
he couldn't be loved.

I wanted to show him he could.

Did you ever suspect
that he might be

capable of violence
toward Jennifer Gorham?

No, I regret I didn't see that.

I consider it
a personal failure.

Thank you. Your witness.

Uh, Dr. Meade,
you really have me confused.

Are you now testifying
that you were not in love

with Daniel Garrett?

I may have become
over involved with him.

But I was in control
of the situation.

In control of Dan Garrett?

Of my involvement with him.

Well, do you normally,

uh, charge people money
to have sex?

It was therapy, Mr. Stone,
not prostitution.

But you didn't
always charge him.

So does that mean that you
wanted to have sex with him?

Like many therapists,
when my patients

can't afford my rates,
I reduce them.

This is, uh,
People's Exhibit Number Seven.

It is Daniel Garrett's diary.

Would you please read
from the first marked passage?

"Diane told me to curl up on
the floor and call her 'Mommy. '

"If I get rid of Jenny,

"she says she'll be
my mommy forever.

Then we had incredible sex."

I never told him
to get rid of her.

He was in the fetal position
to experience

his infantile need
for protection.

Would you please read
the second marked passage?

"Diane gave me a pillow.

"She said,
'Pretend it's Jenny. '

"She said, 'Beat the pillow. '

I got sexually excited.
We did it on the floor."

Now, Dr. Meade,
is that standard practice,

having sex on the floor?

And is it meant to help him

or is it, indeed,
meant to make him

more dependent on you?

I want to release my patients

from dependence, not create it.

Isn't it true that
you told Daniel Garrett

to get rid of Jennifer Gorham?

No, it's not.

And isn't it true that you
knew he was dependent on you

and that he'd grow violent
when he confronted

the threat of losing you?

I never threatened Dan Garrett.

Doctor, do you feel
any responsibility

for the death of
Jennifer Gorham?

I tried to heal a wounded man.

I failed, but I tried.

32 hours.

I don't care why
they convict her.

So long as she has
no chance to do it again.

Robinette.

Uh-huh.

Just a minute.
Webber and Meade.

Send them in.

Elizabeth.

Diane.

Dr. Meade's
prepared to end this.

I'll surrender
my medical license,

no hearing, no dispute.

Uh, Dr. Meade,
the State will hold a hearing,

and that tape with you
and Daniel Garrett

will not be excluded.

You'll lose
your license anyway.

Reckless endangerment two.

A misdemeanor?
Man two, six months.

I told her,
"Don't admit anything."

But she's afraid they'll
convict on the sex alone.

Criminally negligent,
D felony. No time.

Give us a minute.

She admits she's responsible.

Does it make it easier
to keep Danny out of jail?

Perhaps, but if they acquit,

everybody forgets it happened.

And she sees patients
without a license.

This way,
she pleads to a felony.

They won't be
lining up at her door.

Finally, Dr. Meade,
do you understand

you are pleading guilty

to criminally negligent
homicide

in the death of
Jennifer Gorham?

Yes, I do.

Defendant is sentenced
to five years probation

and will surrender her license
to practice medicine

in the State of New York.

Mr. Garrett,
do you understand

you are pleading to the crime

of manslaughter
in the second degree?

Yes, I understand.

Mr. Stone,

you're asking for Mr. Garrett
to be sentenced to four years

in a state mental facility.

He's pleading to manslaughter.

Isn't a prison sentence
appropriate?

Your Honor,

you must know that this office

did not make this
recommendation lightly.

Yes, I understand.

L... I really think we must
ask ourselves what happens

when a young man turns his life

over to a person trained
in the human psyche,

someone who abuses his trust,
and someone who knew

how to manipulate him

because her profession demands
that she know that.

Now, Dr. Meade
admitted her responsibility.

Certainly that mitigates
Mr. Garrett's.

And finally,
the People are concerned

that the defendant may not
survive his prison term.

In effect as a death sentence,
Your Honor.

I'm moved by
your compassion, Mr. Stone.

But I'm afraid I don't agree.

Dr. Meade has
admitted to negligence.

Mr. Garrett has caused

the death of
another human being.

One is clearly worse
than the other.

This court sentences
Mr. Garrett

to serve a prison term
of no less than four

and no more than 12 years.

Sentence fits the crime.
Court is adjourned.
