I've got the hang of it now.

5 -6 -0, paleontology.

5 -7 -0, life sciences.

You know, this Dewey Decimal System is
really quite simple, once you understand

all the nuances.

Nuances? Uh -huh. I'm trying to expand
my vocabulary.

I'm still waiting to find out the
nuances of my next assignment, although

already condensed.

The possibilities.

Oh, you've condensed.

Yes, I know that God sent me here for a
reason. So I've condensed the list down

to three people who I think could use my
help. Then you're not interested in

hearing that your actual assignment is
to get a library card?

A library card?

Yes. That's it?

That's it. Why? Well, because God asked
you to do it. That should be reason

enough. But, you know...

To get a library card, you need a last
name and an address.

Well, allow me to suggest a new word for
today.

Improvise.

Excuse me, Rita.

I'd like to apply for a library card.

Let me get this straight. You volunteer
at the library, but you don't have a

library card?

Yes. No, but I'd like to get one now.

Okay.

Monica. M -O -N -I -V -A.

Last name?

Well, I... Well, I?

Sounds like a fish.

W -E -L -L -E -Y -E.

Address? Home address.

Wherever you get your mail.

Well, um, 11660 Front Street, Boise,
Idaho.

Rita, I think you've switched the
numbers there. It's 11660, and you've

16160.

11660 Front Street.

Pointing items.

There.

Congratulations.

You are now part of the bureaucracy of
the state of Idaho.

Now go away.

What do I do now?

Just wait a few days until the nuances
of this assignment show themselves.

I can't do this test. I'm an angel. So
now you're an angel on jury duty.

Why? Because that's where you're needed.

Getting your library card just puts you
in the system. You've got to stay in

there. Look at this.

Oh, my goodness.

Did this man do what it says here?

I don't know.

Well, shouldn't I know that if I'm going
to be on a jury?

Nobody on a jury knows the truth going
in.

And a lot of times they don't know the
truth when it's all over.

Jury duty is very difficult. It has to
do with facts and evidence, not

necessarily truth at all.

But I'm an angel.

I'm always about truth.

Yes. That's why you have to get on that
jury.

I'll walk with you.

I'll walk with you.

Till the sun don't even shine.

Walk with you.

Every time I tell you I'll walk with
you.

Believe me, I'll walk with you.

It just seems that I could do so much
more as an angel than I can as a juror.

Oh, I see.

Apparently, God didn't know that he was
disrupting your plan.

Now, you listen to me, Miss Wings.

Human beings are always trying to get
out of jury duty because they think

they've got something better to do, too.
And that excuse doesn't work most of

the time for them, and it's not going to
work for you at all.

You were called, and you will serve.

It's important that you are on that
jury.

Yes, ma 'am.

For

Pete's

sake, is real cream too much to ask for
people who are trying to do the civic

duty here?

I'm sorry, dude.

Do I look like a dude to you? An old
dude's still a dude, dude.

Hello. Hello, I'm Monica.

Uh, Caroline.

Honey, you've been buying pretty and
pure cosmetics from me for years now.

Have I ever steered you wrong?

Come on, come on. No, not 50 shares, 50
,000.

You're gonna bankrupt all my clients
before I can get back.

Books on tape.

You own or rent, Monica?

Neither, actually.

Oh. You're still living at home?

Well, nothing wrong with that if it
works for you.

When you are ready to go out on your
own, just give me a call. I am always

available. You want a house, condo,
apartment, big, small, short -term, long

-term. Get them all before they go out
on the listing.

Believe me, you do not get into the
million -dollar circle unless you give

people what they want.

I see.

Morning, everybody.

When I call your name here, describe
your things and follow me.

All right. Samantha Munson, Nicholas
Withers, Frances Balashek, Carol Ann

Larkin, Monica Welleye.

Kevin Carter, Young Shem Noe, Peter
Garfield. Ladies and gentlemen, the case

may be asking here is a capital crime.

Murder in the first degree.

That means that if he's convicted, the
defendant will, at the very least, spend

the rest of his life in prison.

He could receive the death penalty.

Does this present a moral issue that
would prevent any of you from rendering

fair verdict in this case?

Good.

Because of the nature of this case, I'm
going to let counsel conduct brief

interviews prior to selecting this jury.

Who's first, Andrew?

Walter Teitelbaum.

How are you today, Mr. Teitelbaum?

Old and cranky.

Not a fan of retirement, huh?

It wasn't my choice. I made the rules
when I founded the company.

So you believe in rules.

You've got to have rules.

Thank you, Mr. Teitelbaum.

Are you married, sir?

48 years.

Takes a lot of work to stay married that
long.

What do you think for better or worse
means?

Have you ever hit your wife?

Never.

Thank you, Mr. Teitelbaum.

Young Shim Noh. That's Korean, right?

Yes. I came with my family from Korea 14
years ago, but now I'm an American

citizen. Forgive my ignorance, but do I
call you Young or Noh or... My name is

Young Shim Noh.

Okay. Have you ever been on a jury
before?

No.

I'm a defendant of James A. Garfield.

The 20th president.

He was fascinated, you know.

Shot down in the prime of his life.

Do you consider yourself an expert on
murder?

Well, an expert.

No. No, no, no. I just find the subject
interesting.

Who did it? Did they act alone?

What was the motive?

Because, you know, you've got to ask the
questions.

Have you ever been the victim of a
violent crime?

Have I?

No.

I have four children.

Three boys and a girl.

What would you do if someone were
stalking your daughter?

I'd do whatever it took to protect her.

I don't know how I'd feel.

I've never actually had a romantic
relationship.

Are you anxious to be on this jury?

Oh, yes. I even got my own legal pad so
I could take notes.

Well, that's very organized.

What do you do for a living, Miss
Welley?

I do volunteer work.

Exclusively? Yes.

Do you have any other source of income?

I'm supported completely by my father.

Good answer, baby.

And if this trial were to go on for a
while, it wouldn't create a hardship for

you. Oh, no.

I consider it a duty. A calling, almost.

A calling.

Are you a God -fearing person?

Fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom, you know.

Fear being a healthy respect for, not
terror of.

God, I mean.

Uh -oh.

Thank you.

I think we're going to have to cut this
one. Well, you've still got one

dismissal you can use, but there's only
one juror left in the pool to choose

from.

Your Honor, we accept Monica Welleye as
our twelfth juror.

Tess, I didn't know that Brandon could
get the death penalty. How could I ever

make a decision like that?

Render unto Caesar that which is
Caesar's. And render unto God

that which is God's.

Which in your case does not mean, baby,
that God sends angels to court to

change the law.

He sends them to change hearts.

Okay, ready.

Everybody,

this way, please.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the
task before you is a simple one.

Listen to the evidence.

That's all you've got to do.

Because the evidence in this case proves
beyond any doubt that that man did

willfully and maliciously set fire to
the home of his former girlfriend,

Elizabeth Bennett, killing her in her
sleep. The state will provide

to this crime.

Elizabeth's parents will testify to the
terrible fits of temper that Brendan

Falstaff exhibited towards their
daughter.

We will present you with physical
evidence tying that defendant to this

And we will offer you a motive.

The defense may try to convince you that
it appeared as if no one was home when

the fire was started. It doesn't matter
that Brendan Falstaff believed no one

was home.

Elizabeth Bennett was there, and she
died as a result of it.

And in Idaho, a death occurring during
the commission of a felony

is murder.

Plain and simple.

Elizabeth Bennett died in a fire.

That is a fact that cannot be disputed.

That someone set that fire also seems
undeniably clear.

The only real question is who set that
fire. The prosecution will offer you

hearsay and circumstantial evidence that
will suggest it might have been Brendan

Falstaff. In point of fact, there is
nothing in their case that positively

identifies Brendan Falstaff as the
perpetrator of this terrible crime.

There is nothing but a broken heart
offered as a motive.

Ladies and gentlemen, Brendan Falstaff
does have a broken heart.

He's not particularly charming.

He's not very popular.

He's not even a Rhodes Scholar.

But most importantly, he is not a
murderer.

Miss Lang, call your first witness.

Thank you, Your Honor. The prosecution
calls Officer Jarvis.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, over
the past six days you have heard the

arguments presented by both sides in
this case.

Now you must decide what you believe.

If you believe the prosecution has
proven, beyond a reasonable doubt, that

Brendan Falstaff committed this crime,
then you must find him guilty of first

-degree murder with special
circumstances.

If, however, you feel the prosecution
has not proved its case, beyond a

reasonable doubt, It is your
responsibility to bring back a verdict

guilty. I urge you to consider your
decision carefully.

And your decision must be unanimous. The
life of this young man hangs in the

balance.

Bailiff, escort the jury to the
deliberation room.

This way, please.

Okay, right this way, please.

So there's a restroom right through that
door. There's a thermostat right here

by the door. You just aim in through,
and there's also a buzzer if you need

Any questions?

No, thank you.

If I were Brendan Falstaff, I sure
wouldn't mind knowing there's an angel

that room.

Brendan Falstaff is not her assignment.

Her assignment is in there.

Are you all right, Caroline?

Ah, yeah.

Fine, I just need some air.

After a week in that courtroom, the
walls start to close in on you.

Does it matter where we sit?

Well, why don't we just sit and say more
than we did in the jury box?

Excellent. I'm ready to rock and roll.

This is not a party. This is very
serious business.

Can we just get to it already? I've got
a house closing tomorrow.

All right. Well, we have to elect a
foreman.

For a person?

By Carol Ann.

She's already sitting at the point.

Well, does anybody object?

No.

Good, then.

I accept. All right, let's take this
vote and get out of here. Everybody grab

piece of paper, write your vote on it,
and stick it in that basket down there.

Okay.

Thank you. All right.

See here, we have got a guilty, not
guilty, and a guilty, and a guilty.

It says quilty. Now, I'm going to take
that as a misspelling and not a

suggestion, but the defendant is warm
and cuddly.

Not guilty, guilty, not guilty, guilty,
and guilty. Okay, that makes

three not guilty's and one guilty's.

Eight.

Guilty? So who didn't vote?

What's the problem?

Excuse me. Why didn't you vote?

I abstain.

There goes your house closing.

You can't abstain. You have to vote.
Guilty or not guilty.

That's the rule.

I'd like to talk before I vote.

I'd like to hear why everybody voted the
way they did.

I don't need to justify my vote to you.

I'm not asking you to justify it,
Nicholas.

I'm just trying to understand why some
of you...

We're so sure that Brandon Falstaff is
guilty. We can't let him get away with

what he did. He's got to be made an
example of.

Don't think of him as an example.

He's a human being.

He's a murderer.

He deserved to die.

Don't we owe something to the parents of
that girl?

No. We owe the state of Idaho a fair
decision. That's what we're here for.

It's really very simple, Monica.

Okay.

Brendan Falstaff never had a girlfriend
before Elizabeth Bennett.

No surprise. The guy's a freak.

Now, listen to this. She broke up with
him.

He snapped.

He made a lot of threats.

He stalked her for a month before he
finally lost her completely.

He filled up a gas can, burned down the
house while she was... For heaven's

sakes. Monica, he could have burned down
the entire block.

Right, and what about the burn spots
where the gas was poured?

Huh? What do they call that? Poor
patterns. They prove it was arson.

right. There was an empty gas can in the
trunk of his car, and the guy he bought

the gas from identified him.

That patrolman, Officer... Jarvis? Yeah,
he said he interviewed everybody in the

neighborhood. But nobody saw anything
except that fellow.

Yeah, the neighbor. The neighbor across
the street who testified he saw

Brendan's car driving away from the
scene.

It just seems like an open and shut case
to me. That's all. He's got nobody to

back up his alibi. He's got plenty of
motive and opportunity.

That's the way I see it.

She's right. There's plenty of real
evidence to think this case. So let's

go with that.

Hey, most of you have made up your minds
already before we've even discussed

this.

What is left to discuss? Well, the
eyewitness for once. What, Gunderson,

neighbor? What about him? Look, even if
everything else is circumstantial,

Gunderson was an eyewitness. He saw
Brendan Falter's car leaving the scene

before the fire. He saw it.

No, he said he saw the license plate and
recognized it as Brendan.

There's no difference.

Well, yes, there is. How could he be
sure it was the license plate when he

couldn't even tell you what kind of car
it was?

Not everybody is a car person. And you
wouldn't notice the license plate? What

color is the mailbox, Monica?

Excuse me?

U .S. mailbox. What does it look like?

A tall, kind of boxy shape with a curved
top.

All right, good. And what color is it?

I don't know.

Red, white, and blue.

What is the point here?

That people notice different things when
they look at something.

Look, a casual observer might be able to
tell you the shape of a mailbox, but

somebody paying close attention can also
tell you the color.

Blue.

Well, U .S. mailbox is all blue, except
for the logo.

That is right. Of course it's right.

Gunderson was a busybody. He loved
sticking his nose into everybody's

And he especially watched the kid
because he didn't like him. Yeah, but

neighbors like that are a real pain
until something happens.

Well, Brendan was always parking his car
out in front of his house. Well, you

ought to know what the car looked like.
Yes, but it was very dark that night,

and the car was going so quickly.

How could he possibly be that sure?

I can show you how.

How's it going in there?

I don't know.

Why don't you stick your little angel
head in there and see? I can't do that.

That would be interfering with the jury.

Lord, I'm going to need a little help
here.

They're buzzing for me.

Good, I'll wait right here.

Can I get you something?

Yeah, a dry erase board, please.

All right, coming right up.

Excuse me, a moment of your time.

Nothing personal.

You know, I wasn't trying to make a fool
of you.

I don't feel like a fool.

It's just that Kate is such a classic.

What do you mean?

Well, I read a lot of murder mysteries.

Listen to them on tape, actually. If
this kid was innocent, I'd have sniffed

out by now.

What are you writing?

Just a list of things to do when this is
over.

I could never be that organized.

Yeah, never used to be.

I learned it from my husband.

I hate this.

Finding the truth isn't always easy,
Carlos.

I think we're punishing the wrong
person.

Yeah, I'm not sure that Brandon Falstaff
is guilty either.

I think he is.

But didn't you vote not guilty?

Yes.

But how can I... condemn him when I
think the parents are the ones to blame.

They raised him that way.

You have children of your own, Carlos.

Would you blame yourself if one of them
committed a crime?

Yes.

You know, I'm not convinced that Brendan
is guilty.

But if you are, even if it conflicts
with my own belief, I have to say that

court has asked us to judge Brendan, not
his parents.

Hi, what do you want to?

That's okay.

Right, I got it.

We

can

do this, people. Time is money.

I don't think that's true, Kevin.

Time can be a lot more valuable than
money.

Well, we agree on something, Monica.

Elizabeth Bennett could have been a
millionaire. It wouldn't have bought her

another day.

Okay, so the lady is wondering how
anybody could read the license plate of

that's speeding down the street late at
night. Am I right?

Well,

if this is the witness's house and this
is the victim's house, and X is a

speeding car and O is the witness, then
it goes something like this, right?

X is speeding down the street.

O looks out the window because he hears
something.

Now, he can't make out the car because
the only streetlight is down the other

end of the block, but...

The car has its headlights on.

So there's a light on the license plate,
right?

Now, here's the beauty part.

Our neighbor, witness O, lives closest
to the corner. So, as X is speeding down

the road, he has to slow down in order
to make the turn.

So, that's when he sees the license
plate.

Touchdown. You got it.

I can't see any flaw in that logic.

That answers my question.

Good. Let's take another vote.

We can save time with a show of hands.
So everybody voting guilty, raise your

hand. One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.

Eleven. The judge said that if we had a
reasonable doubt, then we had to vote

not guilty.

What possible doubt is left?

I'm not sure exactly, but... If you're
not sure, then that's not reasonable.

Look, Monica, you're doubting because
you're afraid of what convicting him

means. And if the death penalty
frightens you that much, why don't you

disqualify yourself?

Why are you even on this jury?

Look, I'm not sure why I'm on this jury,
Caroline.

But as long as I'm here... I'm going to
make sure that Justice doesn't suffer

because you have to be someplace
tomorrow at a house closing.

I'm warning you, Monica.

There will be justice done here.

Today. Come hell or high water.

I am warning you.

Hello, Mr.

and Mrs. Bennett.

My name is Tess, and I've been watching
the trial.

If you're another reporter, we have
nothing more to say. Oh, no, no, I'm not

reporter.

I just wanted to say I'm sorry for your
loss.

Thank you.

You've had a very difficult time.

Is there something you need?

I need that boy to pay for what he did.

I am not trying to be difficult.

It just comes naturally, does it? If
Brenda didn't do it, who did?

I don't know for sure, but her father
owned the house, didn't he?

The parents had recently moved out and
she moved in.

What if someone was actually trying to
hurt her father and didn't know that

Elizabeth lived there?

That's quite a stretch. Perhaps, but
it's not unreasonable.

I'm sorry.

Brendan Falstaff started that fire.

I don't know how you can all be so
certain.

Come on, Monica, we judge other people
constantly.

It's all about instincts.

I wouldn't want someone's instincts to
decide my future.

Other people depend on mine every day.

You think there's some kind of magic
eight ball that tells you whether the

market's going to go up or down?

No. Life is not that simple.

It's all about taking risks.

You can't take risks with someone else's
life.

What if Brendan Falstaff is telling the
truth?

I mean, what if he really ran out of
gas?

And he walked to the gas station and
filled up the can and went back and put

gas in the car.

He was trying to create an alibi.

The gas station attendant saw Brendan,
but he didn't see Brendan's car.

If he ran out of gas where he said he
did, he'd have to walk through Fletcher

Park to get to that gas station.

Yes. Nobody walks through Fletcher Park
after dark.

Yeah, at least not live and tell about
it. But he didn't have a choice.

No, he had a plan.

This is not a mystery novel, Peter. This
is a real person. Look, this guy's some

freaky loner dude who finally creeped
out the only girl that ever gave him the

time of day.

And he totally pulled a Carrie.

The movie.

Wigged out and started killing people.

Everybody, look.

Brendan Falstaff was heard making
threats against Elizabeth Bennet and her

family for weeks.

The night Elizabeth died, he bought
gasoline at midnight.

Right. Four miles from her house.

He follows the speed limit. He gets to
her place in about six minutes at 12

And I gave him four minutes to pour the
gasoline around and start the fire

before Mr. Gunderson saw him drive away
at 12 .10. Yes.

The fire was reported at 12 .15.

And Brendan Falstaff arrived at his home
at 12 .20.

It all fits.

What are you doing there?

I'm checking the market.

You're talking to somebody?

Yeah, a broker in my office. That's
against the rules. You can't talk to

out there.

Are you trying to cause a mistrial here?

I'm not discussing the case. Doesn't
matter. You shouldn't be doing that.

All right.

I'll put it away.

Great. We put in all this time. Now it's
going to be a mistrial.

No.

Now, there can't be a mistrial.

Doesn't have to be a mistrial if you
didn't talk about the case.

Which I didn't. Why should we believe
you? Because I told you the truth.

why. How can we be sure of that?

What are you trying to say?

Everyone at the trial swore they're
telling the truth.

But not everyone could be.

So who do we believe?

We believe the evidence, if that's all
we've got.

Obviously, Monica, you don't realize
that some people are just evil.

And Brendan Falstaff is one of those
people. Now, you can ask as many

as you like, but the truth of the matter
is, the prosecution presented a solid

case with real evidence to back up their
claims.

And the defense didn't.

I just wanted to be sure.

Well, are you sure now?

Good. Okay, um, let's take another vote.
Everybody make out a new ballot.

Hey, Paul. How's it going? Okay.

Still here working on that murder case?

No, it's just a traffic thing. I
testified in the Paul Staff trial last

How'd it go?

Okay. I went to the jury this morning.

You tell them about the guy who saw him
putting the gas in the car?

No.

The only guy that can prove that kid
innocent is a homeless wino that the

won't allow.

Welcome to the criminal justice system.

What's going on in there? I don't know.

It's awfully quiet in there.

Maybe they're taking a vote.

Will you go in there and stop it until I
can speak to Monica?

I can't. Yes, you can. I just found out
the truth.

Now, you go in there or I will.

No. And give me one good reason why.

Because I have an assignment here, too.

Who? You.

Me? You.

Me? You.

Send it down here.

Hey, Monica, there's a five -yard
penalty for delay of game.

Jack, do it already.

Don't pressure the girl. She has to be
allowed to vote her conscience. That's

the rule.

I just need a moment.

Carol Ann, I've been meaning to tell
you. That is a beautiful ring.

Oh, thank you. My husband found it for
me in Mexico.

Father, please help me. I don't know
what to do.

Please.

How can there be justice without truth?

Please, show me.

Well, something tells me we've got at
least 11 guilties.

Make that 10 guilties and one quilty.

You got to let us finish this now, or
we're going to have to learn how to live

on $10 a day.

Thank you for waiting.

No problem.

Where's your ballot?

Actually, could we all just take another
vote?

Why? I mean, we haven't even tallied
this one yet.

Please, indulge me for a moment.

I promise it'll make a difference.

Okay, well, it better.

Listen, everyone, I'm going to throw
these ballots out.

Make another one.

All right, before we pass them in, I'd
like to say something.

No, enough.

Carol Ann, we really don't have a
choice.

Do you remember what a difficult time
Mr. Gunderson had trying to read Brendan

Falstaff's license plate in court?

The dude was a raw nerve. Who could
blame him?

No, I think it was more than that.

Peter, would you mind writing Brendan
Falstaff's license plate number up here

for me, please?

Why me?

Indulge her, please.

I watched you as you filled out the
ballot a moment ago.

You were very careful, very deliberate.

You mouthed the letters as you wrote
them.

A woman I work with in the library does
the same thing, and Mr. Gunderson did

the same thing. When he read out the
license plate numbers from the scrap of

paper he said he wrote it down on that
night. Peter, please.

All right. What's the number?

5S225.

5S225.

Wait a second. You switched the S and
the 2.

You're the one who wrote Quilty.

Yeah, well, I'm a little dyslexic.
Sometimes letters look backwards to me.

Wait a minute. Are you saying you think
Gunderson's dyslexic, too?

That doesn't prove anything.

Mr. Gunderson saw a car pulling out of
its spot where Brendan always parks. He

assumed that it was Brendan's car.

Zach, could you help me, please?

Yeah. Could you roll the board really
fast around the room? Peter, I want to

if you can read this.

It's ludicrous.

Can't see it.

Thanks, Zach.

I don't believe that Gunderson could
either.

But he'd already decided that he'd seen
Brendan's car. So he told the police the

license plate number that he'd called
them with so many times before.

That's right.

He had that car towed a hundred times.

He didn't see the license plate number.
He remembered it.

Gunderson's testimony is the only thing
that tied that kid to the scene of the

crime. What about the gas can?

Maybe he did run out of gas.

Everybody heard him make threats.

You threatened me an hour ago, but...
I'm sure you didn't mean it. I used to

threaten people all the time. They used
to make fun of me.

Yeah, and I wanted to deck them, but I
started playing football instead.

Well, Brendan Falstaff didn't play
football instead.

He killed somebody.

Maybe he didn't.

Well, when you put it all together, it
does make you wonder.

And that, my friend, is what they call
reasonable doubt.

Nice job.

No. No, I won't let this happen. I know
he's guilty. You can't change your mind.

Caroline. No. Stop talking, Monica.

Oh, you're falling.

Get out of here.

These fell from your book. So what?

They all say the same thing for Tim.

Who's Tim?

It's none of your business, Monica.

What difference does it make what's
scribbled in my day planner?

We have a chance to do something right
here. We can convict a murderer.

You're running around playing word games
and reading people's private notes.

Why are you so determined to convict
Brendan Falstaff? Why?

Don't you read the papers? Don't you see
what's happening? People are getting

away with murder. Somebody drops a match
and lights a fire.

Somebody leaves a gun out that a child
finds and pulls the trigger. Somebody

leaves the gate open and a baby falls
into a swimming pool. Somebody drives by

restaurant and fires a gun just for fun
and kills the only person you ever

loved.

Like Tim.

I'm so sorry.

Well, don't take this the wrong way,
Monica, but so is everybody else, and it

really doesn't seem to help.

Nobody has any idea what this has been
like.

God knows what you've been going
through.

He has done enough.

Trust me.

Caroline, you can't blame God for... No.

Don't you dare make excuses for God.

Don't you dare. I don't want to hear any
more excuses.

The police had an excuse for not finding
my husband's murderer. It was random.

Nobody saw the car. It was too dark.
Nobody heard the gun. It was too noisy.

Everybody has an excuse.

Nobody has an answer.

Where's the justice, Monica?

Somebody's got to be judged. Somebody
has got to be punished.

Someone has to pay.

You cannot punish Brendan Falstaff for
the crimes of another man.

Vengeance won't honor the life you had
with your husband.

I loved him so much.

I still do.

Listen to me, Carolyn.

Timothy still loves you too.

I'm an angel sent by God.

The almighty God who overcomes death.

And right now, this moment, hold your
beloved Timothy safely in the palm of

hand.

Timothy, God loves you too, Caroline.

He understands the pain, the grief, the
anger that you feel for the world, for

God, even for yourself.

Now,

He can't, Monica, because it was my
fault.

I wasn't sure the car was locked.

So Tim went up to the parking lot to
check.

That's the only reason he was there.

Now you see.

I wasn't sure.

Reasonable doubt killed my husband.

So I won't allow reasonable doubt in my
life anymore.

I can't.

God gives us the benefit of reasonable
doubt every day.

Won't you give it to yourself?

Life is full of what -ifs and of onlys.

It was not part of God's plan that your
husband would die that night. Not at

all.

But it was God's plan that Timothy would
spend eternity with him whenever his

life on this earth was over.

And Tim knew that.

And so his passing was not a sad thing
for him.

Only for you.

God and your husband want so much for
you to rejoice in Tim's new life.

And they want you to begin to live again
in this one.

But that begins with forgiveness.

You looked for blame in a terrible
tragedy and found only yourself.

And then you tried and convicted
yourself for the crime.

But God has thrown out your verdict.

And that's the truth.

And the truth is setting you free.

It's... It's just not that easy.

Yes, it is.

A lot of this proceeding has been about
people seeing

what they wanted to see, even at the
expense of the truth.

Mayor Culper, I didn't want to see
reasonable doubt.

For reasons I don't need to go into now,
but I was wrong.

I'm, uh... I'm seeing a lot clearer now.

So, um... I think we ought to take
another vote.

We find the defendant, Brendan Falstaff,
not guilty.

No!

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, thank
you for your time and careful

consideration of this case.

You are excused.

Brendan Falstaff, inasmuch as you have
been found not guilty, you are hereby

released without condition.

Court is adjourned.

I know just how she feels.

Maybe you'll have a chance to tell her.

Excuse me.

My name is Carol Ann. I really would
like to talk to you.

Please.

All right.

Thank you.

I'm so proud of you, baby.

I've decided what tomorrow's word will
be.

Tessophile.

Tessophile? Mm -hmm. Someone who really,
really loves you.

That's a good word. That's a worthy
word. It is not, however, a real word.

it is. I made it up.

I like it, and we're going to keep it.
