Previously on The Practice.

I had what I would consider to be an
extremely erotic dream.

And you were in it.

What do you mean she hit on you? Well,
she... While she's the judge on your

case? She was going to recuse herself
and then she thought it would have no

effect. Does this just happen?

Women come up to you and tell you that
you're in their dream?

Lindsay makes twice my salary?

Well, Eleanor, she brings in a lot of
business. Her percentage should be

$242 ,000.

That's my problem. Since when did you
take such a strong interest in math,

Eleanor? Certain equations fascinate me.
Try adding two plus two. You couldn't

do that with your asbestos client. Is
this what happens to women when you

your penis? I'm just curious because
they become... Hey!

What's going on, Leonard?

I'm not feeling too good. I need to get
a continuance. Oh, God.

Practically getting a contact high off
your breath.

Why do you keep defending this guy?

Because I like him.

Because he was my first client ever?

Because he's innocent?

On the count of possession of a
controlled substance, we find the

guilty.

The jury is dismissed with the thanks of
the court. You did it.

We're adjourned.

It means nothing, Leonard, if you don't
get help. Why do you care so much? I'm

just... I like you, Leonard.

It's not every day you get to meet good
people.

Yes, I know.

I had a really good time last night.

Me too.

So, do you want to come to the game
tonight?

Tonight? Yeah. Cool.

So, I'll call you this afternoon.

Okay.

Between now and then, I'll be missing my
little buttercup.

You are the sweetest boy.

What? Leonard?

I think I'm in trouble.

Hold it! Freeze!

Don't move. Let's see your hands! Don't
move! Put them right there!

Hands up!

What the hell is going on? Stay back!

Hands up!

What is this?

Stay out of it! What is this?

Nothing. What's that?

I don't know.

How'd it get there?

I don't know.

This your death?

This your death, ma 'am?

Yeah. You don't know how it got there?
No.

Please place your hands behind your
back. What for? You have the right to

silent. Oh, come on.

You mean my rights? You have the right
to an attorney. Yeah, I know my rights.

Is this a joke? How did these drugs get
here, ma 'am?

I don't know.

Cut from both.

You, sir, have the right to remain
silent.

I will meet you at the arena. Obviously,
don't say anything. Leonard, that goes

for you, too. Don't say a word.

All right, let's go.

Ridiculous.

Eugene, you take Eleanor, Rebecca,
Leonard, Jimmy, jump in. Bobby, we might

witnesses. We can't represent. What'd
you see? I didn't see anything. Lindsay,

Beck, anybody see Leonard dropped his
stuff in Eleanor's desk?

Nobody? I think we were all looking at
the door. Leonard came running in first

and the police were right behind him.

Hey, get your nose out of there.

Ma 'am.

Ma 'am? You can't search that desk.
We've made an arrest.

You can only search the suspect's desk.
Anything subject to the suspect's

control. Hey,

hey, hey.

John.

Where'd that come from? Bottom drew
under some files.

Looks like they have some dry blood on
it. Let me see. Council.

Bag it. Yeah.

God, Lindsay.

You've been provoking her? Lucy!

Bobby?

Your Honor.

What's going on? One of our lawyers just
got arrested. Lucy!

Uh, could we talk? In private?

Uh...

Sure. My office.

Lucy.

Okay, Eugene, back, get going. Take
Lindsay.

I'd rather take that case.

Never mind. Never mind. Lindsay, go with
Eugene.

Get Helen. Maybe she'll get help with
Eleanor.

What's up?

Well, you're not going to believe it
when I tell you.

Actually, you might, considering.

Yesterday afternoon, I was... served
with a complaint against me, filed under

seal by one of my former law clerks.

He's claiming sexual harassment.

What a shock.

Funny.

The claim is based with, nevertheless, I
have to defend myself against it.

That's why I'm here, to hire you.

You want to hire me?

To defend you in a sexual harassment
case? Don't you think that's a little

strange? Why?

You're an excellent attorney.

Who you've had erotic dreams about. Oh,
please. If I had a dime for every erotic

dream I'd ever had. Forget it. Oh, is
that what you'd say is your deposition?

Look, if you choose not to represent me,
that's fine. But I don't think you need

be discourteous.

I'm sorry to have bothered you.

Why would you want to hire me? Sexual
harassment isn't my specialty.

Though it would be a good way to
disqualify me as a witness should I ever

called to testify.

And why would you be called as a
witness?

Nobody knows what happened between us.

Unless you told someone.

I certainly didn't.

Nothing happened between you and me.

So then this hostility just comes out
whenever anybody tries to engage your

services. Well, let's just say I have a
hard time believing you're totally

innocent. Let's just say I have a hard
time believing you only represent the

totally innocent.

Let's assume, for the sake of argument,
that I do.

I am innocent.

I had an affair with the boy. The truth
is, I think he still has a thing for me.

After he finished with my law clerk, he
asked me to write him a letter of

recommendation. I did.

It wasn't glowing enough in his eyes.

He's retaliating.

Okay. Which brings me back.

To why me?

Because it goes public.

I get destroyed.

Merits aside.

I want somebody big enough to make this
go away.

Who's not afraid to get ugly if he has
to.

I asked around.

Word is, you're it.

She's up first, Linus being called
second. We have to get him independent

counsel. First, let's get through
arraignment. All rise.

I left word.

Oh, no.

It's Judge Wackadoo.

Just what we need.

Be seated.

Case number 32111, Commonwealth v.
Eleanor Frutt, possession of controlled

substance. Eugene Young, for the
defendant, wave reading, Your Honor. I

dismiss this right now. On what grounds?

Ms. Frutt's a lawyer. She represents a
man who charged into her office.

Objection. What the hell?

Your Honor, I work with Mr. Young.

Hurry up.

What are you doing?

Technically, we still represent Leonard.
You can't be serving up facts that

incriminate him, even if they help
Eleanor.

Your Honor.

The police charged into our office,
chasing a man they believed had drugs in

possession. This man ran to Ms. Sprutt's
desk.

The police followed. Suddenly, drugs
were discovered on Ms. Sprutt's desk.

asked her how they got there. She, of
course, refused to answer any questions,

and they arrested her for having drugs
in her possession, and it's bogus.

Is that what happened? From what I know,
that seems accurate.

Out of line.

Out of line.

Arresting the lawyer?

Your Honor, Ms. Frett was given
opportunity to explain how the drugs

her possession.

But if a client dropped them there, then
she's not free to say so, is she?

I want to know who the officer is. I
want to know who said okay to this. This

case is dismissed.

Dismissed. Dismissed.

We don't go around arresting lawyers.

Next case. Next case. Next case.

3 -2 -1 -1 -2.

Commonwealth versus Leonard Sowers.
Possession of control. Rebecca

representing the defendant, Your Honor.
Wave reading.

I, too, ask that you dismiss all
charges.

Why? As the police report stipulates,
they didn't find any drugs on my client.

They were on Eleanor Front's death.

Wait a second, second, second.

This is the guy who went running in so
forth, so forth, so forth drugs?

Well, there's no evidence of that. The
heroin was only found on the desk, never

in Mr. Sauer's possession.

He's got a record as long as my
intestine.

He's a drug addict.

Do I look like a dope? You do not look
like a dope. You have got a god -awful,

scum -sucking, guilty client here. We
all know that.

Drug addict. Your Honor.

Get yourself a jury.

I mean, they're the dopes.

They'll probably let him go.

Not dismissed.

Bound over.

And no bail either because you got me
angry.

Next case, next case, next case.

Give me something good.

You sold me out. I did not sell you out,
Eleanor. I said in open court the drugs

were in my possession. I said it for the
purpose of Leonard's case. In my

possession? Your case was already
dismissed, Eleanor. Oh, yes, Lindsay,

side. I expect nothing less.

Hey. Again?

Why is she even here? To kick your ass
like I did before. Oh, please. I heard

me. What the hell is wrong with you two?
Isn't it obvious? You said something

she didn't like, and it's clearly my
fault. Enough.

Eleanor.

I've been paging you. Yeah, well, some
bad news.

Eleanor Frost, please place your hands
behind your back.

Excuse me? You have the right to remain
silent. Enough with Miranda.

What's going on now?

The knife they found in your drawer, did
George Vogelman give it to you?

What? The weapon used to cut off Susan
Robin's head.

She's going to be booked on concealing
evidence, probably obstruction of

justice. Did she say how the knife got
in there? Well...

We haven't had a chance to talk to her
yet. Okay, first, we try to get it

kicked. In my opinion, the search was
illegal.

Well, incident to an arrest. They were
after Leonard. But they arrested her.

Which got dismissed already. Lindsay,
bring the motion at the arraignment.

Rebecca, you handle Leonard. Eugene, go
find George Vogelman.

Bobby, we have that lawyer coming in on
Kittleton.

What? She hired her. She's being sued.

And you took the case? Lindsay, never
mind. Bobby, she... Lindsay, go see

Eleanor. Jimmy, I need you to help me
here.

Do they know it's the murder weapon?

It matches the blade. They're testing
the blood scrapings.

How the hell did it get in her desk?

I don't know.

It was the bottom left drawer. Under
some old files.

Do you even remember the last time you
looked down there? No.

So somebody's framing me.

Or George. Did George Vogelman ever have
access? Was he ever in the office

alone? It isn't him, Lindsay. Can you
really know that now?

Yes.

Okay. Marina's at two. Division one.

I can't imagine they'll set bail, but...
I don't believe this is really

happening. A guy comes in, he throws
heroin at me, and I am suddenly being

for concealing a murder weapon?

It's gonna go away, Eleanor.

Don't worry.

Can I help you?

I'm looking for Dr. George Vogelman.
Does he work here? He does.

Or did. You're about ten minutes too
late.

Sorry? The police just arrested him.

Same charge, concealment. And he's in
custody.

Eugene's on his way to see him in
lockup.

Lindsay talked to Helen. She thinks the
police are determined to get him all

over again.

Is concealment a lesser included?

It's a murder? No way. He's free game.

Bob McDonald?

Yeah.

Milton Kadams. Oh, hi.

Thanks for agreeing to come.

Jimmy Berluti. A pleasure.

As I said on the phone, Judge Kittleson
is very anxious to dispose of this. As

is Mr.

Michaels. He certainly doesn't want to
begin his law career as a plaintiff in a

sexual harassment case.

That's why we filed under seal. Which I
appreciate.

Listen, we've been hit with a little
emergency.

And unfortunately, I have to run out. If
we could agree...

To depose the two parties, also under
seal. Do it right here. Get some kind of

assessment on the case. We can pick a
number and be done.

Can she go first?

Sure. Six o 'clock tonight?

Tonight? You could always depose her
again if you want.

My feeling is if we could flush out some
facts quick, I think we can get rid of

it. The faster, the better for both
sides.

Okay. I'll see you at six tonight.
Great.

Jimmy, sorry to run out.

I'm so sorry. Leonard.

I never meant to hurt her. Leonard, you
need to stop crying and listen to me. I

love Eleanor.

I know you do.

And for you to help her, you see, we may
have to be making statements that go

against your interests, which means you
might need to get a new lawyer for the

time being.

I want Eleanor.

Eleanor is unavailable right now. I love
Eleanor. She is in jail, Leonard.

She's always stuck by me.

They can't... Okay, what I am trying to
tell you is we won't be sticking by you.

I love Eleanor.

I have no idea.

Woman, say it again.

Well, you better think, George. Think
who could have stuck that knife in that

drawer. Otherwise... I've heard that
speech.

You better think, George.

Better think who could have put that
head in your medical bag.

Otherwise... Now is not the time to get
snide.

This is Eleanor on the line now, not
just you.

I know that.

Why would I ever put a knife in her
drawer? Or if I did give it to her, why

would she even take it?

Somebody's doing something here. And you
can't think of who it could possibly

be? No.

George, I'll tell you this. If I ever
get win... You know what?

Beat me up?

Do it.

I've been out of work for six months. I
finally got hired two days ago. Two days

ago. And what happened?

In come the police to take me away
again.

Go ahead, Eugene.

Beat the hell out of me. I need the
money.

Case number 32632, Commonwealth v.
Eleanor Frutt. Bobby Downer for the

Your Honor, wave reading asks that this
court dismiss all charges on the

grounds... Dismiss, dismiss.

Everybody's getting up and asking me to
dismiss charges.

What do I look like, hmm? Well, under
the circumstances... I've already

dismissed charges against this woman
once today. That's all she gets.

I don't just kick things here,
especially in murder cases. Not

No, no, no.

What do you mean, murder case?

Yes, murder. Your client is charged with
first -degree murder. If you didn't

know that, why the hell did you waive
reading?

What's going on here?

What is going on? Talk to me, Counselor.

Never mind, don't.

Now I'm mad, all right?

Next case. Give me something good. What
the hell is this?

Why don't we find a room to talk?

There's enough there.

For a murder charge?

Well, I'm not saying we're going to
make, but we've got to face a few facts

here. She had a romantic relationship
with this Vogelman. That was two years

ago. Well, love's been known to smolder.

Is this a joke?

She's found with a murder weapon?

And we all know Eleanor has a temper?

What do you want, Richard?

Vogelman.

She testifies that he gave her the
knife. Well, maybe we can make things go

on her. First of all, I have no
knowledge that he gave her the knife.

you can't get Vogelman.

Double jeopardy. We can't get him on
murder, but we can on concealment and

perjury. Third, this is blatant
blackmail. This is a settlement

You're charging a lawyer with murder to
get her client?

This is way over the line.

Bobby. You guys accused the victim's
brother of murder just to get your

off, and you want to debate where the
line is? We're defense attorneys.

It's different.

Discuss the offer with Eleanor.

And then, get back to me.

I don't believe it. I've got the motion
to suppress Marquette for tomorrow.

What, that judge? No, thank God, Judge
West.

How's George?

Not good. They denied bail.

For concealing evidence and perjury,
obstruction of justice. They're on a

mission, Bobby. They're out for him, and
now they have the perfect chance.

So you don't deny the affair?

No, I don't.

Nor did I regret it until yesterday.

Can you tell us how your relationship
with Kevin Michaels began?

Our professional relationship began when
I hired him out of law school to clerk

for me.

Our physical relationship began about
four months later. It was a Friday

We were going over a draft of a rather
convoluted opinion regarding stock

And, well, I suppose one might say I
seduced him.

Why might one say that?

Because I did.

Can you be more specific?

Do I need to be? The basis of this
lawsuit concerns what happened after he

my employ.

We can all stipulate to the sexual
affair.

We're on a fast course to settle this. I
need to flush out some of the

background before advising my client.

All right.

We were working side by side going over
this draft.

He reached across for something.

I don't remember what.

And he inadvertently brushed my breast.

He began to apologize profusely and
perhaps to dissipate his embarrassment,

said, don't be sorry. I rather enjoyed
it.

What happened next?

Well, he just stared back at me. I'd
obviously shocked him.

But he had an expression.

almost as if he were titillated a little
as well.

And, oh, I don't know, maybe because the
hour was late and my senses were fried

or it was just a dare in me, I said,

it's not the worst thing in life to be
touched, you know?

And I reached out my hand.

I tucked him and said,

not so bad, is it?

And then?

And then, at the risk of sounding
immodest,

I gave him the best fellatio known to
mankind.

I am sorry to be so blunt, but I think
we all know what can happen if you don't

come clean at a deposition.

No prints on the knife. DNA was
positive. It's Susan Robbins' blood.

I think Vogelman needs independent
counsel.

For now, what if we need to argue? He
put the knife in here. My money says we

will. Let's just see how the suppression
hearing goes on Eleanor. If we win

there, there won't be any conflict.

You all set?

Yep. You need any help on any research?

I'm fine.

Lindsay, it's a good case to take. If a
judge hires you, that's a nice feather.

It's under seal, Bobby.

There's no more key value in this case.

There would be no reason to take it.

Oh, was there?

Oh, please, you can't be jealous. Bobby,
let me just concentrate on Eleanor's

case right now, okay?

Your Honor. Am I early?

No, no, we're set to go in about 20
minutes, and Bobby wanted to go over

stuff. Do you perhaps have something I
could just nip? Oh, hello.

Hello.

Did I get by?

Oh, I'm pretty sorry.

I'll be down as soon as I can.

I don't mean to add pressure, but if we
don't win this, Eleanor faces a long

haul. I know.

Do you have any idea how that knife got
there?

Had to be George.

You never showed him the letter. Not
before I sent it out.

I suppose I should have.

This isn't about that letter, Bobby.

You read it. It may not have been laced
with superlatives, but it certainly

wasn't critical.

Well. He's suing you for it, so... My
bet is he's suing just for the

privilege of these depositions.

He gets to be in the same room with me
again.

I don't think he's over me, to tell you
the truth.

Is everything okay?

Fine.

They had no warrant to search that desk.
And nor is one required. It was a

search incident to an arrest.

Warrantless searches... Hold on a
second.

Are you saying the arrest of Ms. Frutt
was invalid?

On the knife, absolutely.

Not on the knife. On the drugs. That
case was dismissed.

I understand. But are you saying at the
time the arrest was made, it was legally

invalid? Yes. They knew those drugs
weren't hers.

The heroin was on her desk, counsel.

There was no probable cause for an
arrest?

They came in chasing somebody else for
those drugs. He ran right to this desk.

They see the drugs on top of the desk.
They suddenly think they belong to her.

Please, that insults everybody's
intelligence.

Which is why the case on the drugs was
ultimately dismissed.

But if the arrest was technically valid
at the time, then so was the search that

turned up the knife.

Even if you were to uphold the search as
incident to a valid arrest, the area to

be searched has to be within the control
of the suspect. Which this was. It was

her desk. She wasn't even in the
building by the time you found the

the desk couldn't be within her control.
The search began contemporaneously with

the arrest. It continued after she left.
It did not begin after she left.

There's a difference, Your Honor. I can
cite the cases.

None of those cases involved a pretext
arrest, which this was.

They knew the drugs weren't hers. They
didn't have a good faith basis to make

that arrest. Any search incident to that
arrest is also lacking in good faith.

This is part of a master plan to get
George Vogelman, and everybody in this

knows it.

Objection! Make your objection, but I'm
putting this on the record. They charge

her with murder, and they offer to drop
everything if she would flip George

Vogelman on concealment. He's the one
they're after. The arrest of Eleanor

is not only unethical, it is flat -out
immoral. I completely reject that!

We never offered to drop this, and any
and all settlement discussions are

inadmissible. She should be sanctioned
for attempting to raise this in these

proceedings. You're charging her with
homicide to coerce testimony. Not only

mention that she misrepresented
everything I said in the context of our

discussion. All right!

I'll take all this under advisement.

I'll rule tomorrow.

Your Honor, I would ask that you release
Ms. Frutt on her own recognizance

pending your decision.

I can live with that.

O .R.

Adjourned till tomorrow.

You can go. Your

case has been dismissed.

Thank you, God.

You're the only one to catch a break
this week, Leonard. You know that heroin

you bought?

Lab results show it wasn't heroin. It
was some brown confectionary or

That's how gone you are, Leonard. Even
the deal is... I can go now?

Right now.

Good. Not a second too soon. I need a
fix.

You know, I can't stop you from going to
get your fix.

But don't you ever come into our office
again and bring that stuff.

Eleanor Fred is in a lot of trouble
right now all because of you.

By your own admission, this affair was
consensual.

Yes, but I feel that after it ended,
this letter was not a ringing

That was clear to anybody who read it.
Well, did it say anything negative?

No, but it wasn't glowing.

I think it's what she didn't say that
was conspicuous. Is it possible that you

weren't that great a clerk?

It's possible, but what?

Well, I don't think she had the
opportunity to really know whether I was

clerk or not.

And why is that?

Well, once our personal relationship
began, the only thing that transpired in

our chambers was sex.

Over the last seven months, we probably
made love two to three times a day,

sometimes four.

Four times in one day? One day, I think
we hit 11.

She was insatiable.

Are you claiming that in any way it was
against your will?

No, no, it was the most amazing.

Look, I didn't complain.

And if she tried to seduce me again
today, I can't honestly say that she

wouldn't succeed, knowing how... Look,
my point is that what chance did I

have to excel at being a clerk when all
we did was... Mr. Michaels, why did you

ask her to write a recommendation in the
first place?

It was probably a mistake.

I just figured, I don't know, if a woman
can't get enough of your penis...

Chances are she'll write a decent
letter.

Um, can we go off the record here a
second?

Kevin, I will write you a superlative
recommendation right now.

Make a call or two. I could get you a
job in a second.

How about I do that?

When we call off this lawsuit?

It's a little late.

No, it isn't.

This isn't about you getting a job,
Kevin.

It's about getting me.

Excuse me?

You're obsessed with me. Does your
lawyer not know that?

You're sad.

Am I?

I could give you an erection from across
the room. We both know that.

Go ahead. Stand over there. I'll prove
it.

Probably getting aroused right now.

Stand up, Kevin.

Hey, let's just go back on the record.

Be seated.

A man gets chased into an office, leads
to a search, turns up a knife.

Somebody somewhere has an idea as to
what's going on here.

But it isn't me.

The search of the desk drawer was valid.

As far as the murder charge...
Possession of a weapon alone doesn't

probable cause, at least not to me under
these circumstances. That count is

dismissed. As far as the charges of
concealing evidence and obstruction of

justice, those counts stand.

The defendant is bound over for trial,
personal recognizance. We'll conference

Tuesday, 10 o 'clock.

Adjourned.

Excuse me, Ms. Pratt. Ms.

Pratt, would you help George Bodeman get
away with murder?

Do you know who killed Susan Robin?

Come on, let us through. Where did the
knife come from?

I'll just answer a few questions.

We'll beat it,

Eleanor. Every one of us is on it.

If we have to drop every other case to
fight this, it's done. As of right now,

George Vogelman is an enemy.

Why? Because one of the alternative
defenses will have to be he planted that

knife. Which is possible, by the way.
No, it isn't. Eleanor, look at me.

Everyone in this room stands ready to go
to war for you.

But you have to let us.

Here's the deal, George.

The police seem determined to put you on
trial again for killing Susan Robin.

But how can they?

I was acquitted.

Well, they're going to end Ron Double
Jeopardy with concealment, obstruction

justice, perjury. And relevant to
proving the case, the question as to

you committed murder will be played out
again.

And if you get convicted on perjury and
concealment, the judge is going to take

everything into consideration when he
sentences you.

What are you telling me?

I'm telling you, you could be looking at
20 years.

This... This isn't fair.

No, it isn't.

And it doesn't get better.

You need to get another attorney. Our
firm withdraws.

Your new lawyer can contact us, and
we'll release the files.

Jimmy, my office. Everybody else in the
conference room, Your Honor.

Oh, hello.

I'm Roberta Kittleson.

Lindsay Dole. Yes, I know. You have
quite a reputation at the courthouse.

So do you.

You can go in.

Excuse me.

Pretty simple.

Ten thousand and a better
recommendation.

And we close it today.

Why should I give him money?

Because he's looking to save face and it
goes away now.

Merits aside, this will look bad for you
if it goes public.

Let's keep it sealed and be done. Can I
tell him yes?

I suppose.

Great. I'll draft some papers, have you
sign them. Bobby.

Thank you.

I'll be in touch.

Now, this is a really good result.

We put this out in a day.

Good result.

Yes, and thank you, too, Jimmy.

Listen, maybe you want to get a glass of
champagne later?

Toast our victory?

Well, would you like to do that?

Well, only if you would.

Sure.

Good.

There are two possibilities.

Somebody's out to frame George Vogelman,
or he's guilty. If George were guilty,

why would he put the murder weapon in my
drawer? What good does that do him?

Well, if he's guilty, Eleanor, we can
forget what makes sense. He cut off a

head. Plus, this could be some fixation
thing with you. What?

Loner. Perhaps once in love with you,
you dumped him. I mean, maybe when he

first cut off the head, he brought it to
you like a cat showing off a dead

mouse. Oh, come on!

Eleanor, if he's sick, he's sick. Why
the knife in the drawer?

I don't know, to keep things alive, to
keep a connection with Eleanor, maybe?

That doesn't seem like it. Obsessed
people do crazy things, Bobby.

Look, let's all admit we don't know
George, but he's exactly the profile.

Nice guy delivering mail one day, walks
into McDonald's the next.

That isn't George.

Then who, Eleanor? This doesn't make
sense. Look, we figured he was set up

first time. If somebody put a head in
his medical bag, maybe they're doing the

same thing again with a knife. If
somebody wanted to frame George with a

it would have turned up before he was
acquitted. Why hold the knife back?

How stupid would that be? Maybe they
didn't have the knife at first. Didn't

it? If he was set up with the head in
the bag, it would have had to have been

the killer who would also have the
knife.

It just doesn't make sense.

If the police... The knife turned up

after the trial.

And because of double jeopardy, the only
way to make use of it was to plan it

here and set up a perjury obstruction of
justice charge.

That's a bit of a reach.

This trial embarrassed them.

And just like Eugene and Helen said,
there is a mission to get George.

And I know how they did it.

I don't. I don't know what you're
talking about. Yes, you do, Leonard.

Because it didn't make sense.

Nobody buying heroin, especially someone
so experienced as you, is going to walk

off with sugar.

The reason it was sugar is so the case
against you would eventually get

which you seemed to see coming.

Something that also confused me a little
when I went to your cell and said you

could go.

You weren't surprised.

The police sent you running in there to
drop that bag to allow them to search

Eleanor's desk.

where the knife was either planted then
or sometime before.

Leonard, is that what happened?

The police sent you running into my
office?

Leonard, you're not going to get
arrested or prosecuted on this if you

the truth.

I guarantee it.

Police misconduct, coercion, trust me,
they can't touch you.

But if you don't tell us the truth...

If you go along with the police trying
to frame Eleanor, a person who has been

very good to you, a person who's been
saving your ass for the last 10 years,

you don't come clean with what went
down, I will hurt you.

They caught me with some stuff again.

Said if I do this, they'd let me go.

I'm sorry, Eleanor.

I'm afraid of prison.

So far, it appears to be limited to a
select group of officers.

We've arrested three uniforms and two
lieutenants in forensics.

Where was the knife found?

It's unconfirmed, but the weapon was
evidently found in an abandoned car.

We don't know about who at this point.
After the Vogelman trial?

That's my understanding.

I would like to stress, this does not
represent the Boston Police Department.

These officers are a disgrace to the
force.

Police Chief Sullivan will be conducting
a press conference shortly to address

this further. Thank you. Can you release
the name of... I still

can't believe it.

How could they be so brazen to think
they wouldn't get caught?

They almost didn't.

So this was all staged to get a
warrantless arrest?

Figured they had a weak link in our
chain with Leonard.

How many officers involved?

Investigation's just starting, but so
far they think five.

Unbelievable. Yeah. Anyway, at least
things ended well.

Here's to your case.

Yes.

Tell me, Jimmy.

Do you typically toast victory with all
your clients?

Or did all that sex talk make you
curious?

I'm sorry.

If you can be honest.

Well, uh... Just between you and me,
which part of the testimony

was your favorite?

Do you remember?

My mind's a little blank at the moment.

George Volgeman was released shortly
after, hoping I'm sure he's been

for the last time. Asked for a comment,
he politely declined.

Poor guy.

Of course he could still be guilty.

Don't go there.

Where's Bobby tonight?

We're kind of fighting a little.

Over his representing Judge Kittleson?

Lindsay, she's 102 years old. She's 56.

You think Bobby's attracted to her?

Oh, well, here he is. Kissy -kissy
makeup time.

Hey.

Hey.

Come on in.

Hi. Hi.

Wow.

Some place.

Yeah, well, I make a lot of money.

Listen,

I never got a chance to thank you for
defending me.

I lost the motion.

Yeah.

You okay?

What's wrong?

Nothing, nothing.

It's, uh... When I think about why I
practice law,

my mind always goes to the little guy,
you know, the Leonards, the people that

fight for.

And after ten years for him to just sell
me out... Eleanor, he's a drug addict.

No, no, no, let me finish.

I've been sitting home for the last two
hours feeling sorry for myself, thinking

that nobody's loyal.

There's just no such thing.

And then my mind went to how all of you
stood up for me,

dropped everything.

I'm sorry for the way I've treated you
lately.

I think this whole partnership thing,
has blinded me to, I don't know, to what

it really means to have true partners.

I know I have them.

I especially know you're one of them.

The orc.
