All language subtitles for Lou Grant s03e11 Andrew pt 2

Hello, I'm calling from the trip. I'd
like to confirm a quote.

How much money was it?

Was it over $1 ,000?

Was it over $10 ,000?

I want to report something.

There's a body upstairs.

What's happening?

Are you the mother?

Yes. Ma 'am, I'm sorry about your
daughter.

My daughter?

Aren't you Mrs. Mills?

Oh, dear me.

Oh, my God.

What happened, Ma 'am?

Come on, Edna. There's no reason to stay
here now.

You want to be with Andrew?

I don't want to be with Andrew.

The victim is a girl.

Her name is Terry Mills.

She was friendly with Edna.

I know.

I met her.

I want to see my son.

I'm sorry. That's impossible at this
time.

Well, when? When can I see him?

I can't see him right now.

In an hour?

Can't I see him in an hour? It'll be
several hours at least.

Why don't you take her home?

Several hours?

Check back with me in a little while.

Come with me.

Andrew was booked on suspicion of
murder. I called the story in.

Good.

Yeah, wonderful.

Art and Edna are in no shape to worry
about it now, but Andrew is going to

a lawyer.

Yeah, let's try to get him someone
really good.

What about Davis Mendelsohn?

You know him?

Sort of. I covered the Ferguson murder,
remember?

Oh, good.

Okay, we'll call him.

Stay with Art. Do what you can. You
gotta get back.

And how is Mr. Donovan?

A little shaky.

He's been living with this all along
with a cousin who's dangerously

It only got bad recently.

And no one really knew how crazy Andrew
was or how dangerous.

It's just awful.

He got Andrew to go to the state
hospital last week.

He was released yesterday after the 72
hours observation period.

Then he disappeared.

Donna and Billy spent the night looking
for him. And this morning, a young woman

is dead.

The thought occurs to me, we've got to
decide how much attention to give this.

Or give it no attention.

We don't report on every murder that
happens in Los Angeles.

What makes this one so special?

Our assistant city editor's cousin is a
suspect.

What makes it special to us? If we
ignore it, it'll look as if we're

one of our own.

or it'll look like we're gracefully
bowing out of a story that's too close

us. Oh, that's just great, Lou.

Every time we have a connection with a
story, we step aside, we hand it over to

the competition. Here, you guys take it.
This one hits too close to home.

Not every story.

Just this one murder.

If it had nothing to do with Art
Donovan, would we even be considering

bet we would. A co -ed, an art student,
killed in her apartment by a guy we just

released from a state hospital?

You bet your rear end we'd cover it. We
would be all over it. Can we simmer down

and take a moment to think?

Yes, we are close to this story.

And maybe that puts us in the best
position to cover it.

With a real understanding. And that
gives us a unique responsibility, Mr.

I just don't think we can ignore it.

My aunt knew.

I should have listened. You did listen.

Well, I should have seen it. How?

Andrew was just in the mental hospital
for three days. Trained professionals

didn't see what was happening.

I knew him better than they did.

I just didn't want to look at how bad it
was.

I'm Dave Mendelsohn.

Oh, Lou Grant.

How do you do?

Art Donovan.

Oh, Mr. Donovan.

I'm sorry.

I know what you're going through.

Difficult as it is right now, it's
important that we have a talk soon.

Talk about what?

About Andrew's defense.

Mr. Mendelson is the lawyer I called.

Yeah, right, right.

Okay. Well, from what Miss Newman has
already told me, I don't think the DA

be able to ask for first -degree murder.

Second -degree would be the most.

Is there a chance it could be less than
second -degree murder?

We might be able to knock down the
voluntary manslaughter.

In Andrew's favor, at least, it's not
the kind of a crime that attracts a lot

publicity. My defense is a piece of
cake.

It's easy. Open and shut.

It is, huh?

Sure.

Because I didn't do it.

Well, we know now that the D .A. is
going to ask for second -degree murder.

What's the sentence for that?

Fifteen years to life. He'd be eligible
for parole in ten years.

Ten years?

Now, to some people, that doesn't sound
like much for murder.

Now, I believe that ten years in a state
prison will be disaster for Andrew.

I don't think he's equipped to deal with
the confinement, the brutalization by

the other prisoners.

If he does make it through, he'll return
to society much worse than he is now.

So what can you do?

Well, there are options.

His state of mind at the time of the
crime is critical here.

I'd like to try to get the charge
knocked down to voluntary manslaughter.

And I'd also like to plead him not
guilty by reason of insanity.

Well, okay, if that's what you want to
do, then let's do that.

Unfortunately, my hands are tied.

Why? Andrew says he didn't do it.

He does?

I took his story apart in five minutes.

On the stand, a prosecutor with all his
preparation will do an even better job.

Oh.

Wait a minute.

Is there any chance that Andrew is
innocent?

I think we'd be kidding ourselves if we
believed it and we wouldn't be helping

Andrew. If I'm limited to arguing that
he didn't do it, we'll lose.

Well, we're hiring you. I want you to do
what's best for Andrew.

It doesn't matter who's paying the bill.
I'm Andrew's attorney.

If he says he didn't do it, I can't say
that he did.

But you're going to advise him. I did.

I don't think he's listening.

Then Andrew is behaving in a way that is
really destructive to his best

interests.

What else is new?

Blue Grant will continue in a moment
here on A &E.

No, I think the connection's getting
worse.

Okay.

Well, we'll talk when you get here.

I said when you get here, we'll... Never
mind!

Goodbye, Danny!

Hey. Want to know what the weather is
tomorrow in Hong Kong?

Why are you looking so pleased about it?

You know Danny Richland?

Yeah, he's the journal's Hong Kong
bureau chief.

Yeah, well, he just finished six months
in Beijing, which was formerly Peking.

I know.

As in Beijing duck.

Yeah. Anyway, he'll be over here for a
few days, and it'll be great to swap

stories. Yeah, he can talk about Zhou
Enlai, and you can talk about Grauman's

Chinese.

Say, aren't you supposed to be... Yeah,
yeah, yeah. I'm on my way. Right now.

Here I go. You don't know what you're
talking about. That is the best shot

given you all week. You didn't get a
name. We don't run the picture. I got a

name. Well, it isn't there.

Okay, okay. I didn't put it on the
caption slip. I can check my notes.

Fine. I'll call the print shop and tell
them to take a coffee break while you

check your notes.

I'll get the name on it.

Lou, how do you want me to handle this?

Handle what?

I just got an Andrew story. I assume you
don't want me to edit it.

It's a conflict for me, too, because I
called Mendelsohn.

Throw these stories to Adam.

Well, can I see you for a second in my
office?

Oh,

the suburban papers are really playing
up to Terry Mills, Kelly.

Friends mourn slain co -eds.

Neighbors outraged over death of a girl.
I mean, they've got reactions from

neighbors, from friends.

What are we doing?

We've got Rossi interviewing the girl's
parents.

Mr. Mills?

Yes? My name is Joe Rossi. I'm a
reporter, and I'd like to talk to you

briefly, if I may.

Reporter from the newspaper?

Yes.

The Los Angeles Tribune.

I'm sure that any stories that are
written now, you'd like to be as

possible.

And of course, you might have something
to say that might mean something to

other parents in similar circumstances.

I don't care.

Come on in.

Terry had a sweetness.

I'm not saying that because I think it
came from anything I did.

She had it the day she was born.

She just had no ill will to hurt
anybody.

You hear about all the wild things kids
do.

Drugs. I don't know.

Terry never did any of them.

When she asked to get her own apartment,
there was just never any question about

it. She was so reliable.

I see.

Do you have any plans now?

Plans? For the future?

What future?

I'll tell you.

I'm not looking ahead farther than one
thing.

I want to see that bastard that killed
Terry punished.

Isn't it kind of painful for you to
watch what happens now with a trial?

Not as painful as it will be if he gets
off.

You just know they're going to try to
get him off.

say he's crazy and he didn't know what
he was doing.

You don't think that's possible? The
suspect was insane.

He knew exactly what he was doing.

And they're talking about degrees of
murder as if there were degrees of

Terry's being dead.

I can't have Terry back, but I can have
justice.

And justice is not having a wonderful
person whom everybody loved dead.

And a murdering psycho out walking the
street.

I have a chest cold. Maybe pneumonia.

I haven't been sleeping.

You can...

Do something terrible and still get
sick.

You told Mendelsohn you didn't do it.

I was scared.

I didn't know what they'd do to me. I
thought they were going to beat me up.

And now?

No, I thought about it.

I don't care what they do to me.

I'd just give anything if it could be
two weeks ago now.

I go off somewhere.

Off in the woods somewhere where I
couldn't hurt anybody.

I swear to God, I didn't know I was
going to hurt somebody.

I just didn't know.

I'm so sorry.

I can't sleep at night. All I do is cry.

We need to talk about your defense a
little.

I don't care what happens to me.

You hate me, don't you?

No. No, I don't.

You should.

Look, I am angry.

But I don't hate you.

Now, we've got some things we have to
discuss.

I don't care about my defense as long as
I'm punished.

Whichever way it goes for you, what's
ahead is not going to be easy.

Mendelsohn is a top attorney.

What he wants to do is say that the
crime was no more than manslaughter and

also you are not guilty by reason of
insanity.

I'm not crazy. I don't want him standing
up there saying that I'm crazy. Andrew,

stop it. I didn't come here to play your
little games.

You're in real trouble this time and
nobody is going to be able to get you

of it. Now, maybe, maybe we can help
some, but you've got to cooperate.

Okay, whatever you say.

Just tell me what you think I should do.

Let Mendelsohn pick the strategy for
your defense.

Work with him.

Okay, if that's what you think, I'll
agree to it.

Okay.

Mmm, this is good barbecue sauce.

From the DA's office recipe book.

Secret. Yeah, get it on the discovery
motion.

Stick that on the table.

Ah, listen, Brad.

Before the girls get back, can we talk a
couple minutes of business?

Andrew Ray.

Yeah. He's very disturbed, you know
that.

Very disturbed.

Maybe. Maybe?

Okay, what do you offer?

All you guys need is a solid conviction.
We plead guilty to voluntary

manslaughter and take our chances on the
sentence.

Look, you know me, Dave. I don't like to
play for fight. He's a binging angel.

I'm not up for blood here.

So what do you think?

Well, I'll get together with my people
in the morning, kick it around.

I will call you in the afternoon.

Okay.

It's amazing they haven't banned me from
the neighborhood.

Maybe that's next.

What do they do?

Well, mainly it's what they don't do.

Nobody speaks to me.

And there's this informal neighborhood
association that some of the people have

formed because of the burglaries and
attempted rapes.

Now they...

They're trying to blame Andrew for
everything bad that's happened.

They really worked up.

And, of course, everyone liked Terry.

So did you. You were her best friend.

Yes, well, that's the problem.

To them, it's all my fault.

Your fault?

Well, yes. I introduced Terry to Andrew
so they feel that I'm the link.

I'm to blame for her death.

That's ridiculous.

Well...

I don't know.

Sometimes I wake up at two o 'clock in
the morning and I think, maybe they're

right.

I adored that girl.

You can stay here if you want.

Oh, no, no.

I'm not going to run.

Being Andrew's mother has always meant
that my life wouldn't be quite the same

as other people's.

Maybe the time will come when I'll wash
my hands of him.

But that time hasn't come yet.

Hello?

Just got some news from Driscoll at the
cop house. I knew you'd want to hear.

What?

Andrew was sick and they took him to the
hospital.

Yeah.

Somehow he managed to escape.

Lou Grant will continue in a moment here
on A &E.

A &E returns to Lou Grant.

Apparently they came in to give him a
pill in the night and he was gone.

What's their explanation?

They don't know how he did it.

Animal got this picture of the hospital
prison ward showing the bars,

everything. Okay, write up what you got
and get in with a sidebar and turn those

parents.

Photos now, sidebars.

Art, I'm sorry. Why not a special
edition or a fold -out with color?

You can't expect us to ignore the story
now, not after the escape.

No, don't ignore it, but do we have to
act like we've got a deliberate policy

jumping on every angle of this thing?

I don't make all the decisions around
here, Art.

Oh, I see.

Hey, Art.

You know what you're doing?

I'll tell you.

Andrew's attorney is in the middle of
negotiations with the DA to reduce the

charges. All of these stories come out.
The case gets all of this attention, and

the DA is put in a position where he
can't back off murder, too, no matter

much he wants to make a deal. And that
blows it for Andrew.

Art, this is a difficult situation.

Is it? You certainly found an easy
solution.

We can't back away from this story
because the suspect happens to be your

cousin.

Aren't you just going all out to prove
how unbiased you can be?

No, I don't think so.

But we're not ducking this.

Yeah, and Andrew's getting shafted
because he has the bad grace to have a

who works for the Trib.

Andrew is in trouble right now because
of what he did.

Oh, I see. The Trib is trying Andrew now
and convicting him. I didn't know that

was the newspaper's job.

Well, it sure as hell isn't our job to
protect him.

Come on, Art, think about what he did
that night.

He was with Billy at your apartment the
night of the murder, along with her.

The victim could have been Billy.

You really know how to hit low, don't
you?

Art, wait a minute. Not now, Lou.

Art!

Come with me.

Look.

Events are unfolding which you didn't
start, which you can only do so much to

change. Yeah.

But I gotta do something.

Of course, I understand that. You know,
when this first happened, I felt the

same way towards Andrew that Charlie
does. Sure. I was angry. I hated him.

Any affection I ever felt for him was
gone.

And then I saw him at the jail.

It was still manipulative. Still a pain
in the neck. And frightened.

And sorry.

And I remembered all of us trying to get
help for him.

Edna and me and Andrew himself.

And somehow...

It seemed that everybody'd let him down
because there were so many chances to

stop this thing.

And the world is just not set up to stop
it.

What are you doing in here?

Olly olly oxen free.

I can't go into details because of
doctor -patient confidentiality, but...

Things were coming out in the therapy
that really concerned me.

Concerned you enough to call the police?

That's right.

Well, how often does a situation like
this come up in your practice?

This is only the second time I have ever
felt it necessary to go to the police.

And what happened the first time?

Nothing has happened in five years.
Apparently my concern in that case was

unjustified. You know, predicting
behavior is really crystal ball gazing.

I wish with Andrew I'd had a better
crystal ball.

What would you have done?

For one thing, had I known he was in a
disturbed cycle, I would have tried to

delay going out of town.

Dr. Myrdal, is Andrew crazy?

In my professional opinion, Andrew is
deeply crazy.

Then I may ask you to testify at
Andrew's trial.

Please don't.

Why not?

Because I can't go on the stand and
answer whether Andrew is legally sane or

insane.

Nobody can agree on what the definition
is.

And I'm not sure it matters.

Oh, it matters in a court of law.

I know. The law is everything. The law
is our God.

Well, I do believe in justice.

So do I.

But in our pursuit of justice, we put so
much money and so much energy in this

show we call The Trial.

How much is it going to cost us to try
Andrew?

Hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Don't we have to?

Well, but it's way out of proportion
with the effort we put into preventing

happened.

And then when the trial is over, nothing
is really done to prevent this same

terrible thing from happening again.

So go ahead with your trial, but leave
me out of it. I would rather spend those

hours here in this office doing what I
do best.

Talking to patients.

But you do care about your patients.

And Andrew is, or at least was, one of
your patients.

Yes. You can still be of help to him
because what you say at this trial can

affect his fate.

I just don't think psychiatrists belong
in the courtroom, Art. You may be right.

But psychiatrists will be there
nevertheless.

The prosecution will call psychiatrists.

We better be able to present our side of
the picture.

If you don't testify, they will get
somebody who knows Andrew less well and

less qualified in this case.

All right.

I'll do it.

Not because I believe it's right, but
because maybe now not to do it would be

wrong.

Thank you.

Damn you.

What's the penalty for second -degree
murder?

Five, six, seven years. Fifteen years to
life. No, Roz, he's a determinant. A

lawyer told me. A lawyer told me. They
just changed the law.

That's right, and you have the old
numbers.

Hold it, hold it.

Remind me not to ask you guys questions
unless you can agree on the answers.

I can't wait to see your face when you
check it. I'm not going to check it. I

have no reason to check it. Okay, okay.

Now, Andrew is going to plead not guilty
and not guilty by reason of insanity.

Right. Ah, progress.

Which is crazy.

No, it's not.

We were doing so well.

How can it not be crazy to say, I didn't
do it, and at the same time say, I did

it, but I was crazy?

That's an admission of guilt.

But you have to find out if the person
knew what he was doing. If someone kills

someone, it's murder, right?

There are a lot of ways I could kill
you, and a society would not consider it

murder. In a war, for example.

We're not in a war.

Close, though. In self -defense.

In an accident, in a fight where a
person falls, hits his head and dies.

What the person's intent was is a
critical issue in deciding his guilt.

Did he plan it for months and knock
someone off in cold blood? Did he come

and find his wife in bed with someone
else?

What was going on inside the person's
mind is not a side issue, Newman. It is

the whole issue.

So the law has to read minds.

Look, we're going to have to cover this
trial.

Well, put Simmons on it. He's great on
trials.

Simmons is covering the Wayne County
election frauds. I can't take him off.

Billy, you're too close to it.

Rossi, I think it's you.

Hi, guys.

Hi. Anybody want to buy me a beer?

Well, the Tribb certainly did a great
job of keeping the pressure up. No plea

bargain, and the DA is sticking with
second -degree murder.

The key word in the legal definition of
murder is malice.

Now, in order for you to find Andrew
Raines guilty of murder, it will be

necessary for us to show that he acted
with malice of forethought when he

Terry Mills.

In order to prove malice, it is not
necessary to show that Andrew Raines

Terry Mills, but rather that he made a
decision to kill her and then

intentionally killed her.

The prosecution will be arguing this
case with a simple view of human

which we reject, they will be arguing
that my client wished the victim in this

case dead and therefore killed her much
the same way a person might want an

automobile and give a car dealer a down
payment.

Intention, decision, action, like
pushing a button.

Now, our view of the tragic and...

regrettable events which we consider
here is that they evolve from a set of

circumstances which is far more
complicated and that my client did not

any ill will toward Miss Mills but was
indeed fond of her and tried to protect

her and that when he killed her the
decision was not based on society's

rules as we know them and to put These
unfortunate circumstances in

the same category with truly malicious
crimes would be a

serious miscarriage of justice.

Lou Grant will continue in a moment here
on A &E.

Mrs. Douglas, do you recognize the man
sitting over here to my left?

For the record, the defendant, Andrew
Raines.

Yes. How do you know him?

He's the son of one of the tenants in
our building. He used to come over to

visit his mother.

Did you see him on the night of October
9th of this year?

Yes, I did.

I was coming out with the garbage, and I
saw him going into apartment 2C.

Do you know who lived in apartment 2C?

Terry Mills.

Nothing further.

You wish to cross -examine, Mr.
Mendelsohn? Yes, just a few questions,

Honor.

Mrs. Douglas, you were very fond of
Terry Mills, weren't you?

Yes, everyone was.

Everyone?

Everyone in the building.

Including Edna Raines, my client's
mother?

I guess so.

Including Andrew Raines?

I guess not.

You guess not.

Mrs. Douglas, was there an occasion
recently when you spoke

to Andrew Raines?

Yes. Was it the time when you were
trying to remove a heavy packing crate

your apartment?

Yes.

Who initiated the conversation, you or
Andrew?

He did.

What did he say?

He offered to help me move the crate.

Thank you, Mrs. Douglas.

Luke, Luke.

I'm thinking of having a little dinner
party for Danny Richland when he gets in

from Hong Kong.

You're going to give a dinner party?

Just for friends.

A very intimate dinner party.

When's it going to be? In a couple of
weeks. You think I should invite

Why not?

Well, you know the things he's been
going through. He's probably feeling

Why don't you invite him in the
hymnside?

Yeah.

Yeah.

If he heard I was having a dinner party
and wasn't invited, he'd feel even

worse.

Death occurred at approximately 10 p .m.
as a result of asphyxiation.

As far as you can tell, what caused the
asphyxiation?

Strangulation. A bruise marks on the
neck and thorax indicates strangulation.

Strangulation by what? A scar? What?

A strangulation by human hands.

How long did it take for death to occur?

That's hard to say exactly.

Can you estimate?

Well, it would be at least two minutes.

Two minutes.

Well, that would require steady
purposeful effort.

Objection. The witness can only
conjecture as to purpose.

Sustained.

I'll rephrase the question.

This kind of strangulation would require
prolonged, unrelenting effort.

Would it not?

Yes, I would think so.

Good evening.

Funny time to come in.

Well, I've been out a lot. I thought I'd
help catch up.

I didn't have to.

How far did the trial get today?

All the way.

Finished?

No, the jury's got it.

And?

The prosecutor asked them to bring back
a verdict of second -degree murder.

If it's not that, it'll be voluntary
manslaughter, which would be a lesser

sentence.

You're not to do that.

What's going on?

Clerk will read the verdict.

People versus Andrew Raines.

We, the jury, in the above entitled
action, find the defendant, Andrew

guilty of murder.

And we find it to be murder in the
second degree.

Oh, boy.

What happens now?

The real thing, the sanity phase of the
trial.

Well, Andrew, it's not sane.

They've got to see that.

He's got to be legally insane.

Which means?

Isn't a definition.

A person is insane when he commits a
crime if, as a result of mental disease

defect, he is unable to appreciate the
criminality of his conduct or to conform

his actions to the requirements of the
law.

That makes sense.

If he couldn't help himself because he
was crazy, then he was crazy.

Well, we need some definition.

Right.

The real problem is who can decide
something like that.

Blue Grant will continue in a moment
here on A &E.

You going to be okay?

No.

Andy, come on.

You going to make it?

I heard you haven't been eating.

That's not good.

You've got to keep up your strength for
the next part of the trial.

A couple of guys here have been to state
prison.

They say the first thing I gotta do is
get a knife.

You may not go to prison. That's what
the next part of the trial is about.

You may get sent to the state hospital
instead.

The prison ward.

Nobody said it was gonna be easy.

You know what I keep thinking about?

What?

Forests.

Huh?

Green forests.

Big redwoods.

That's what I should have done.

Go to Oregon or someplace.

Lived in a cabin instead of coming back
to the city.

What you've got to be worrying about now
is holding on here.

Remember Arrowhead?

That great trip?

No. You wrote a story about it.

Got it published.

Just about started you as a writer.

Oh, the bear story.

Yeah.

That was a great story.

I read it and I knew you were going to
be a great writer.

Look, I want to talk about your
testimony.

Mendelsohn may decide to put you on the
stand.

Now, if he does... What?

Tell Farrowhead.

So I could just hear something that
isn't...

trials and hospitals and jail.

Andrew, please.

Damn it, stop playing games. It's your
life I'm trying to talk about.

I'm scared, Uncle.

I'm scared.

It

was a

cold night.

It was dark.

There was no moon.

How would you characterize Andrew's
mental state, Dr. Murdoch?

Andrew is delusional at times, at times
confused.

He struggles with hostile impulses.

He's schizophrenic and has paranoiac
tendencies.

By schizophrenic, do you mean split
personality?

No. Could you tell us exactly what that
does mean?

It means the patient has a distorted
sense of reality.

Then you would not say that Andrew is
normal.

I would say that his thinking processes
are not in the healthy range and that

he's going to have difficulty dealing
with day -to -day life.

Have you examined Andrew since he's been
in custody?

Yes. Is he feeling any remorse?

He's feeling tremendous remorse.

Doctor, you were treating Andrew before
the night of the killing, and you've

seen him since.

In your best professional judgment, what
was his state of mind that night?

I think he was very conflicted in the
lowest point of a depressed cycle.

It's possible Terry Mills was the
subject of displaced hostility.

Toward whom was this hostility actually
directed?

In fact, towards himself, mostly.

He was terribly angry at what he felt to
be his own failure.

We're talking about a 32 -year -old man
who wanders around the city with no

sense of purpose, unable to pull himself
together enough even to get a job, to

establish significant relationships, to
cope with life in the most basic way.

All right, getting back to the
hostility.

Where does it come from?

A hostility, in its deepest sense, is a
response to fear.

Andrew lives with constant fear.

So painful it would be unbearable for
most people.

I was working in our therapy to help him
deal with that fear.

What Andrew still needs is not
incarceration, but therapy.

Objection. The witness is making
speeches.

Sustain.

You've described Andrew Raines as
essentially not understanding what he

doing when he killed Terry Mills and
acting without having any real choices.

Is that a fair characterization of your
opinion?

Yes, it's fair.

Okay, now... That evening, Andrew Raines
was at his cousin's apartment and his

cousin invited him to dinner.

Did Andrew understand then what an
invitation to dinner was?

I think so.

And he knew what he was doing in turning
down the invitation?

Yes.

Andrew then went to the building where
Terry Mills lived. Was that, you think,

random choice, or did he know where he
was going?

I think he knew where he was going.

So as he went up the steps to Terry
Mills' apartment, he understood what he

doing, was acting with full volition?

Yes.

And as he entered the apartment, he knew
where he was going?

Yes. And as he talked to her, he
understood he was having a conversation

choosing to have it.

Yes. Then at what point did Andrew no
longer understand his own action? When

put his hands to Terry Mill's throat,
when her face contorted in pain and

when he'd been strangling the life out
of her for two minutes?

Objection.

Argumentative.

Overruled.

Answer the question.

We're talking about something
complicated here.

That is why we must be precise.

Answer the question, Dr. Myrtle.

When did Andrew stop knowing what he was
doing?

I have no way of knowing.

Doctor, did you admit Andrew Raines for
observation at Oak Hills Hospital?

Yes, I did.

Did you then release him at the end of a
72 -hour observation period?

Yes. Is it fair to say, then, that you
found his mental and emotional problems

insufficient to keep him confined?

Yes, that's correct.

No further questions?

Mr. Mendelsohn?

Dr. Suntag, during the three days that
Andrew was at Oak Hills, did you have a

therapy session with him?

No, I didn't. He was only there for
observation.

Well, did you, uh...

talk with him during the three days?

No, I didn't. Did any other staff doctor
have a conversation with him?

Doctor? No.

Did any member of the staff, other than
a technician, a therapist, a nurse, a

social worker, have more than a few
words with him?

No.

Then how were you able to evaluate his
mental state?

Through observation.

The law says observation.

And what did the observation consist of?

The nurse's station.

Many of the offices have windows which
look out into the day room.

Did the observation then consist of
watching Andrew through a glass window

at various moments while he was sitting
in the day room?

Well, yes.

Okay. Thanks.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Lou? Huh? Lou, this party I'm having for
Danny Richland in a couple of weeks is

getting really big.

Terrific. You want me to bring
something?

No, no, no. That's okay. But there is
one thing you can do, though.

What? Can you let me have it at your
place? My place? Well, yeah. I just got

this small apartment. You've got a
dining room, a living room. That's true.

Good. Someday if you throw a small
party, you could have it at my place.

Thanks. I'll remember that. Hey, Billy.

You can come to my party if you want to.

Rossi, listen, just because I sit
opposite you, you don't have to feel

to invite me.

No, no. No, it's okay. I mean, there's
so many people coming now. One more

make any difference.

I see you still haven't lost any of the
old charm, Rossi. Art!

How is everything?

I don't know yet.

Listen, Donovan, I'm having this big
party on the 23rd for Dan Richland.

drinks. My place.

Yeah, so if you can make it. Thanks,
Rossi, but just now on.

Thanks, England.

People versus Andrew Raines.

We, the jury, in the above entitled
action, having found Andrew Raines

murder in the second degree, find him to
have been sane at the time of the

crime.

Luke, they're here.

What was the sentence?

Fifteen years.

You'll be eligible for parole in ten.

Edna, why don't you let Art take you
home?

No, no, I have to do some shopping.

Andrew said that he needed a toothbrush
and a sweatshirt, and then he had

ordered a pair of glasses about two
months ago, so I thought I'd pick them

Then I thought I'd go home and make some
cookies.

I'm not sure they'll even let him have
cookies, but I... I have to do

Thank you.

Thank you.

Your lasagna's marvelous, Rachi. Where'd
you get it? I made it. You mean you

heated it up?

No, no. It's my pop's recipe.

It's the only thing I know how to make.

If you want to have breakfast at my
house, there's lasagna.

Or juice. I can do juice.

I got it. It's probably the kid from the
liquor store.

I was right.

It is the kid from the liquor store.

Donovan!

Come on in, kid.

I figured Rocky wouldn't give another
party for 25 years. I better see this

Oh, thank you.

Where's Rickman? He couldn't make it.
He's got to cover the vice president's

visit in Beijing.

But we figured, what the hell?

What am I going to do with 20 pounds of
ricotta cheese?

I could have told you.

It's a veto, Art.

Salute.

Here's to Dan Richland.

Better open the stuff I brought.
