All language subtitles for Picket Fences s03e09 For Whom the Wind Blows

Previously on Picket Fences.

Did Brian Latham admit to killing Susan
Ingram? He didn't say it in words, but

he made it clear.

He put that girl in the swamp.

We find the defendant guilty as charged.

Truth time.

I didn't do it.

I filed an appeal with the State Supreme
Court and Brian Latham. Instead, they

certified it for immediate appeal to the
U .S. Supreme Court.

The highest court in the land.

Let me free the man who murdered my
daughter because they don't like the way

caught him.

Please don't lose.

Oh, yay, oh, yay, oh, yay. The
Honorable, the Chief Justice and

Justices of the Supreme Court of the
United States.

They came in.

What? Our appeal was denied.

It's over.

We've lost.

Matthew, Matthew, honey, put this on the
dining room table for me.

No, baby, you tell me when Daddy comes.
No, you call me. All right, guys, let's

go. Come on, everybody, let's go. Quiet,
quiet. He left 10 minutes ago. He's

going to be here any minute. I want
everybody at the dining room table. I

he knows. He doesn't know. He thinks I
sent the kids away, and we're going to

have a quiet, candlelight birthday
dinner. He does, except that he's been

complaining all day because he says that
he feels bloated. I got some milk and

magnesia. He's going to be fine. Yeah,
Mom, this birthday's bothering him more

now. He's here. He's here. Okay, let's
go. Come on, everybody, let's go. In the

dining room.

And don't forget the plan. Nobody
forgets a word, okay?

Henry, we'll sit next to each other. Oh,
goody. And we'll sit next to each

other.

Don't say anything. He's coming in,
Matthew. You keep everybody quiet for

I'll be right back.

Happy birthday, baby.

My birthday is canceled.

No, not again. No, there's nothing to
celebrate. I'm old.

And what have I done with my life?

We go through this every year.

What are you doing? I'm blindfolding
you. I set the table in the dining room,

but I don't want you to see it until
I've taken off my robe. Jo, please.

Come on. We don't have to do this, do
we?

Oh,

this is silly. Just humor me.

Here we go.

Sitting at the table. Here's your chair.

There you go. Sit down. Don't touch that
blindfold until I tell you.

Okay?

Now I'm going to go in the kitchen and
take off my robe and get the wine. Are

you naked under that robe? Maybe I'll
eat you for dinner.

Oh, well, wouldn't that be lovely? Um,
don't touch the blindfold.

Oh, get some antacid on your head,
please.

I don't feel so good.

51,

birthday Darren.

Probably expecting sex.

Another year or two, my penis will serve
no function whatsoever except to

connect my bladder with the outside
world.

Almost there. Don't move.

Do me a favor and stay out there a
second.

Sure. Just stay there a minute.

Trust me. I'm going to be glad you did.

Boy. I'll let you know when it's safe.
Just stay out there.

So what happens now?

We go for sentencing tomorrow.

I'm not optimistic.

I'm going to get life.

There's a very real chance.

Of these matters, Judge Bone is not a
lenient person.

Here's the thing.

Contrition does help.

If you go in showing remorse, he might
respond.

If you go in clinging to your innocence,
he'll hit you hard.

Now, I... I wouldn't suggest that you
admit to something that you didn't do.

Brian, we're out of options.

We've been to the Supreme Court. We're
out of options.

I didn't kill that girl.

And I won't say I did.

I wouldn't expect you to.

I'm sorry, Brian.

I did everything I could.

I know you tried, Mr. Wambaugh.

I thank you for that.

No. Just let me... You already reopened
this case once without permission.

Suppose the guy's innocent. No. Look,
it's over, Kenny.

It's gone to the Supreme Court. It's
over and done. I don't want you digging

back into this thing. Excuse me, that
should not make any difference. If the

guy's innocent, he shouldn't go to jail
no matter what. I don't care what the

Supreme Court says.

Thank you. Is that right? All right, all
right. What new evidence do you have?

After the trial, Brian Latham told me,
Catholic to Catholic, he didn't do it.

I believe him. I know it in my gut. Your
gut?

Kenny, your gut is what got this man
convicted in the first place.

You said when he told you where the body
was, in your gut, you knew that he was

the killer. The guidance counselor at
the high school says that Susan Ingalls

fought with her parents all the time.

She told him she thought her parents
were crazy.

Every teenager thinks that, especially
my daughter. The father came in here

crazy with a gun. Your hunch cannot get
this case reopened. Now, you want to

bring me some new evidence? Fine.

Jimmy!

It's all right. It's just gas.

Very funny.

Oh!

Oh, damn it. Oh, right there. Right
there. Oh.

Don't. That's okay. What about here?

Yes.

Okay.

You can get up now.

You have a little gastritis.

Probably brought on by the stress of
having a birthday.

I'm going to put you on some mild
medication. I'm going to watch your

I want you to stay home for a couple of
days. I'm not staying home. Jimmy, I

don't want this to turn into an ulcer.

I'm not staying home because of a little
gas.

I'm the sheriff.

A little gas, honey?

If the birthday candles hadn't been lit
last night, the roof would have blown

off. Judge Bone just left here. I think
you singed one of his lungs.

You think that's funny?

That's not funny. Which is why I'm not
laughing, Jimmy. What is it?

Birthdays aren't supposed to cause this
much anxiety. What's going on?

What if he didn't do it?

Come on, Max, don't you start. John,
let's just be honest about something. We

stopped this investigation short. All
our work was spent trying to get Latham

convicted. Yeah, because he did it.

You don't think somebody showed up after
Brian Latham left?

Maybe she had a boyfriend who found out
she was with Latham.

My point is, we didn't look. We just
assumed.

Susan Ingrams had no boyfriend. I
checked that out.

You did?

Yeah, look.

I interviewed her friends. They told me
there was nobody.

She was... Totally religious, very
straight, from an extremely religious

There was nothing sinister about her or
anybody she kept company with.

But you did some checking just the same
because you were so sure.

Extremely religious family?

Devout Catholics?

So?

What are you doing here?

Praying.

My client's best shot.

What's with the yarmulke?

I use it like an ace bandage when I'm
thinking deep thoughts.

I don't want to pull a muscle. The two
things I worship, Henry, God and the

I think you know that.

But what you don't know is that I've
always considered you a hero.

I know you don't like me much.

You insult me, but I've always forgiven
it because I knew you were faithful to

the law.

I could always count on you for that
until the Latham case.

Brian Latham's statement should have
been suppressed.

But you gave in to your emotions and you
raped the law.

It was an atrocious abuse of judicial
power.

The Supreme Court stood behind my
decision. The Supreme Court changed the

which they were entitled to do.

You weren't.

You played cowboy on the bench.

And because of that, an innocent man is
going to spend the rest of his life in

jail. You bend and twist and talk the
law every time you walk into a

I straddled the line, Henry.

But I never step over it.

You did.

And that makes you a bad judge.

Let me tell you something.

My love for the law and what I do has
always been in some small part

because of you.

You've made it noble.

Maybe that's why this hurts the way it
does.

You were a bad judge.

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.

It had been a while since my last
confession.

How may I help you, my child?

Well, first, I know this is sealed, but
I have to make sure.

You won't repeat what I say, no matter
what I tell you. You won't reveal it to

anybody, no matter what.

Right?

The confession is sealed, my child.

Okay.

I committed murder.

You did what?

Susan Ingram.

I was the one who killed her.

I stabbed her.

Is that right?

I've been having a lot of fights with
her lately.

Maybe I loved her too much, you know?

I loved her like a daughter.

Like a daughter.

And in a wild fit of rage, acting like,
I don't know, her father,

I chopped off her finger, then I killed
her.

Now, you'll sit on that, right?

Somebody confesses to a murder.

You won't tell anybody if you get that
admission in this little booth, right,

Father?

The confession is sealed.

Even if they try and convict the wrong
man, you still have to stay silent,

you?

That's your professional vow.

You don't tell.

Open the screen, father.

Open it.

I know he told you.

He's an extremely religious man. He
never misses mass. You're his priest.

I have witnesses that saw him go into
this booth.

John Ingram killed his daughter.

And I know he told you.

Get out. Father.

I said, get out.

I saw it in his eyes. Father Barrett...
Oh, come on.

Think about it, Jimmy. We know that John
Ingrams is a violent man. He tried to

shoot Ryan Latham in his cell.

The kid killed his daughter. So he wants
us to think.

We also found the father's hair and
fibers in the car.

It was his car.

Why don't you want to investigate?

We did investigate. We tried and
convicted the killer.

The case...

It's closed.

Jimmy, no offense, but as a deputy in
this department, I'm embarrassed.

Me too.

We never even checked out the
possibility of somebody else. We were

We got a quick, coerced statement, then
we rested.

Well, we may very well have blown it.

I can't live with that.

How can you?

You want to reopen?

Fine.

It's your case.

You handle it.

Thank you.

You won't be sorry.

What can I do?

Maybe delay the sentencing or stay the
verdict. I don't know. Something.

What exactly did the priest tell you?

Nothing. But I could tell he knew what I
was talking about.

Forgive me.

But when it comes to judging character,
you are not Solomon.

Your Honor, I know that John Ingrams
confessed the murder to Father Barrett.

just know it.

Even if you're right, it doesn't make
any difference.

How can it make no difference?

I know Gary Barrett very well.

He would never reveal the content of any
confession.

Even if he did, it's privileged.

It can't be used against the confessor.

An innocent man could be serving a life
sentence.

You people are supposed to do the
investigating before the trial.

That's how it works, damn it. I helped
put this kid away relying on you.

Let's just take a step back. It's too
late. There's no new evidence here. I

can't reopen on this. There has got to
be some... Look, we're the ones that put

this kid away. The cop, the DA, the
judge. It was the three of us.

Now, if we suddenly have doubts, how can
we not fix this thing?

Because the system has the life of its
own, counsel.

And the system is bigger than the three
of us.

The confession has no legal validity.

Without new evidence, I can't undo a
verdict.

Which means that kid is trapped.

Sheriff Brock.

There's a rumor going around.

The investigation may be reopened.

We're just checking a few things.

How can you do this?

We're trying to put it all behind us and
you keep turning it back up.

Mrs. Ingrams, I believe Ron Latham
killed your daughter.

But if he didn't, I would think he would
want to reopen it.

Of course.

We just want to move on from this,
that's all.

Of course.

Excuse me.

Okay, now hold still.

I hope you'll take a deep breath.

This isn't necessary.

I just wanted to rule out gallstones,
which I now can.

Good.

Okay, we're done.

Jimmy, this is just anxiety -induced.

What's the deal, hmm?

Brian Latham is the guy, I'm sure of it.

But Max is right, we didn't investigate.

The public wanted this thing solved, so
we gave them a quick solve.

But whether we got the right guy or
not... I didn't do the job.

I don't know what you're looking to
gain, Henry.

But if it has anything to do with Deputy
Stewart's psychotic episode in my

confessional... Gary, Deputy Stewart
said she thought she saw something in

eyes.

Since I've known you more than 20 years,
I figure, well, if

there's something there, I'd be able to
see it too.

Look at me, Gary.

You've been a very depressed man of
late.

And for someone so fascinated with
community affairs,

I found your absence from the Latham
trial to be quite conspicuous.

Extraordinary, really.

I think something's tearing you up.

Henry, there's absolutely no way in
which you're going to get me to say

anything.

None.

A man is about to appear before me to be
sentenced for killing a girl.

I'm not quite sure he killed.

He may have to spend the rest of his
life behind bars.

A God -loving young man who revealed the
whereabouts of a body so that she might

have a Christian burial.

If he's innocent, it can't be God's plan
to see him punished

this way.

I'm not asking you to divulge anything
that was said to you in a confession.

I don't care who you spoke to.

All I want to know, do you believe Brian
Latham killed Susan Ingrams?

I have to meet my maker one day, Gary.

I don't want to be jailing an innocent
boy for the rest of his life.

I need guidance.

Did Brian Latham, in your opinion,
murder Susan Ingram?

For God's sake, help me.

Did Brian Latham kill Susan Ingram?

In my opinion.

He did not.

My God.

I'll talk to you all later. I'll give
you a statement later.

Case number 32666. People versus Brian
Latham on the matter of sentencing.

Douglas Mambo appearing for the
defendant.

Before being heard on sentencing.

I would like to read a short poem by
Rudyard Kipling.

Denied. Sit down.

Mr. Latham, stand up.

I hope he gets the electric chair.

Can't. This is Wisconsin.

No death penalty.

You stand convicted of a heinous crime.

For sentencing purposes, I reviewed the
transcripts and evidences looking for

circumstances of possible mitigation.

In so doing, I was occasioned to re
-examine the weight of all the submitted

evidence. And during that re
-examination, I found that the jury's

not supported by the facts.

Accordingly, I set aside that verdict
and instead direct a verdict of not

guilty. The defendant is free to go.
Adjourned.

Dear God in heaven.

What happened?

It's over. You're free.

I don't go to jail? You're a free man.

Now, listen to me. I will explain to you
what happened. What explanation?

There is one. Now, I know it's hard for
you to see at the moment, but don't

worry yet.

There's a plan to all this madness, all
right? But you have to trust me a little

bit. Now, Deputy, I want you to take Mr.
Ingrams back to my office.

I want a quiet place to talk.

Now, I promise you, I will make sense of
all of this. This is just legal

maneuvering. I will make sure of it.

I'll see you back at my office.

What the hell are you going to tell him?
I have a plan.

First, I got to hear from you.

What happened?

Did Father Barrett tell you that... I
don't need to tell you anything.

I think Latham's innocent.

That's all you get from me.

Your Honor, I need to know... Read my
lips.

Forget it.

All right.

Look, Mr. Ingram is not a suspect at
this time.

As soon as you leave this room, you get
on the radio, you make sure Kenny has

that message.

Mr. Ingram goes into my office as a
citizen.

What are you up to? I'll tell you later.

I want a search warrant for the Ingram's
house. There may be more evidence

there. What grounds?

The victim lived there.

We found the father's hair and fibers in
the car. We have grounds.

I'll give you a warrant to search, but
not to arrest.

All right. You've got nothing on the
man.

Well, not yet, but I will.

I'm so confused. I just... What
happened?

I'm not sure.

There's a rumor that somebody else
confessed.

Maybe the father.

But it doesn't matter.

And the judge, he can just overrule the
jury in the Supreme Court?

On the facts, yes.

What happens if he changes his mind
again? He can't. Double jeopardy. You're

free, Brian.

It's final no matter what.

I want to thank you both so much for not
giving up on me.

I've done a lot of dumb things all my
life, but staying with you, that was

smart.

Good luck, son.

What is this big plan?

Just wish me luck. Got no evidence that
this better work. Just wish me luck.

Okay. Good luck.

What's going on? What the hell is...
Have a seat, Mr. Ingrams.

Want some water? No.

I think you want a glass of water.

Father Barrett told us you confessed to
killing your daughter.

What?

He's on his way over here right now to
make an official statement.

First of all, anything said in a
confession is privileged.

Can't be used in a criminal trial.

Are you a lawyer, Mr. Ingram?

No. Well, it's funny you should know
that particular law.

Let me make something clear to you
first.

At this very moment, you're not being
held.

Until we get that official statement,
we've got nothing to hold you on.

So if you want to get up and walk out
that door, you're completely free to do

so. I can't stop you, and I won't.

You want to stay and have a
conversation, we can do that too.

I know what you're doing.

You're not holding me officially, so you
don't have to give me Miranda or a

lawyer.

Again, I'm impressed.

For a layperson, you seem to have a firm
grasp of your constitutional rights.

Go on.

You're free to go. Get out of here.

You hear what I have to say. It's your
choice.

I'm listening.

True.

What you said to the priest can't be
used against you.

But there's no poisonous fruits rule on
religious confession.

What we dig up as a result of learning
what you said to that priest, that's all

legally admissible evidence.

But of course you already knew that.

Here's the punchline.

We will devote every waking man hour of
every day, as long as it takes, to

unearth the evidence to nail you.

I'll start with exhuming the body.

We're searching your house as we speak.

I'm also going to call in the FBI for
assistance.

Yeah, I'm going to get you, Mr.

Ingrams. It may be tough, but I will get
you.

Now, you can make it easy.

You give me a statement right now, and
I'll make it easy for you.

I'll agree to heat of passion. It'll
beat down the charges a little.

I'm offering you a chance right now to
help yourself. This is the very last

offer you're going to get.

You embarrassed this department.

We tried the wrong man. You made us look
bad. I don't like that.

Now you help me fix it quickly, and I'll
give you a break.

You make me work hard, and I will see to
it that you rot in jail till your very

last wisp of a breath.

Help me or don't, your choice.

Am I free to go?

Yeah. Goodbye.

I had him, Jimmy. I was so close. He was
about to crack. I had him. The search

has come up empty so far. Should we
exhume?

No, Carter went over that body with a Q
-tip. We're not going to find anything

else. I want the threat of digging her
back up to pressure Ingrams.

Where's Father Barrett? In protective
custody, like you said.

Good. I don't want Ingrams to get
anywhere near him. He has to be thinking

Father Barrett gave us that statement.

I want to dredge up the pond again.
Maybe there's something else down there.

No, Kenny, you do that. Max, I want you
to take a crack at Miss Ingram. See if

you can break her.

She's got to know if her husband did
this.

Sheriff, go to the Ingrams' house and
arrest both of them.

On what?

On our suspicion.

I don't care. I want to tighten the
vice.

Then when they get in here, I want Mr.
Ingram isolated from Mrs. Ingram.

It'll give us a better chance of
breaking her.

We can do this. We can.

And when you arrest them, scare the hell
out of them. Shake them up, especially

her. We got to soften her up for Max.

All right?

Okay, let's move.

Let go!

You gotta make this look good.

Don't worry about me.

Don't you hit anyone.

Don't worry about me.

Hands against the wall, sir. Over here.
What are you talking about? What are you

doing here? Put your hands against the
wall. What's the problem? You're under

arrest for murdering Susan Ingram. You
have the right to remain silent if you

give up the right to remain silent.
You're under arrest for hitting and

the murder of Susan Ingram. Let's go.

Why don't you let me come in here like
this?

Wait until you get the door. Open the
back door.

I want a lawyer. You need one. Put him
in a cell. Take her to interrogation. I

haven't done anything. I don't care.

Hey,

you're on.

You ready?

Ready.

It's all up to you now, Mac.

Okay. Okay. You are on her side. She's
got to trust you. You're the only one

can help her now.

I got it. All right.

I ran a check on her. She underwent some
psychiatric treatment a couple years

ago, which means her mind's probably a
little fragile.

That explains why she could cover for
her husband. That's also something that

can be exploited by you now.

Okay. All right.

I wish I could tell you everything's
okay.

It's not.

Should I have a lawyer?

Probably.

But we're not after you, Mrs. Ingrams.

We know your husband confessed to the
priest.

But we need you to make a statement.

We need you to tell us what happened.

Don't I have a right not to?

You know, he's my husband. I have rights
that say that I don't have to say

anything to hurt him. Yes, you have
those rights.

You want to protect your husband, I
understand.

What about your daughter?

He did this to her.

To your daughter.

This isn't just somebody snapping.

There were 11 stab wounds.

Susan came to a vicious and horrible
death because of that man. How can you

to protect him? He took your daughter
away.

Look at what he did.

He's not an evil man.

He's really not.

Oh, he's very evil.

Do this.

He's either very evil or very thick.

Either way, you're not safe with him.

What if he should turn that knife on
you?

He never would.

No. If he thought that your conscience
might get the better of you, you know

he would.

And right now, I'm looking at a woman
with a conscience.

I'm looking at a woman who's going to
have a hard time living with what she

knows.

And if your husband sees what I'm seeing
right now, why wouldn't he turn that

knife on you?

It's time to face the truth, Mrs.
Ingram.

Do what you know you have to do.

What if I knew and helped cover things
up?

Do I go to jail for that?

No. If you testify against your husband,
we will give you immunity.

We can help you, but you have to help
us.

I've already lost my daughter.

If I lose John, what have I got?

What have you really got now?

Did your husband kill your daughter,
Mrs. Ingrams?

We need you to say that in court.

Will you say that in court?

We need you.

Will you help us?

Okay.

Complete immunity.

I don't want you coming in sideways with
any of your reckless endangerment

charges. Don't worry.

Mrs. Ingram, we're going to court for
the arraignment and preliminary

examination. It shouldn't take more than
about an hour.

I suspect your husband will be held with
no bail, so we're going to try and

shield you from him in the courtroom.

I have to testify today?

I'm sorry. Your statement is the only
evidence we have so far, so we can't

the charges stick unless you take this.
Stand.

We'll try to make it as quick as
possible.

The net was right where she said it was.
Good. Get it to the lab.

Max, call Carter, okay? I do want to
exhume. And then get to court, because I

want you there as support for her.

Done. Your hand's off me. Here he comes.

Okay, keep her in there. And block the
view. I don't want him to see her.

It doesn't work.

You know that?

It doesn't? It doesn't work, Monterey.
Come on, John.

I'll see you in court, sir. This doesn't
work, Monterey!

Call Carter and make sure that he knows
we got a knife.

All right, let's go. We don't have a lot
of time.

Okay.

I'm in the way.

Excuse me?

Max, Kenny, Littleton.

I can see the fire in their eyes. Fire
that used to be in my eyes.

Now I'm just getting in their way.

Sounds like more of the birthday bloop
to me.

The other night at the dinner table, it
was just a metaphor, Jill.

A bunch of people hoist to spring.

And I'm just a feeble old fart.

Oh, Jimmy, I walked in that room, and
judging from the air quality, I would

you're still a very potent man.

An innocent man almost went to jail for
the rest of his life because... I think

this town needs a new sheriff.

Jimmy. Rome isn't a quiet little town
anymore.

Shoplifting used to be the biggest crime
here. Things have changed. I've had to

order new weapons, new riot gear.

Kenny and Max have the fire.

Maybe the best thing I could do is get
out of their way.

There was this huge fight.

We were all involved, really, but...
Well, John and Susan, they were

angry with each other. What happened
after the argument?

Well, Susan ran out.

We thought she would come back like
always, but after an hour she hadn't, so

went looking for her.

Both of you?

We knew she liked to go to this pond,
especially when she was upset.

We saw her car parked there, up on the
shoulder by the road.

I know this is difficult for you, Mrs.
Inglis.

We got out and we looked in the car and
saw all these beer cans

and... John, he just kind of...

Well, he was so upset.

I told him, wait by the car, I'll go
down and get Susan, which I did.

And I found her down by the pond.

And then what happened?

She and I, we got into another argument
and... Do I

have to say what I did?

That's not really what's important, is
it? Well, the whole point of immunity,

Mrs. Ingrams, is so that you can tell us
everything.

Okay.

Well...

Susan got mad at me.

And then... I don't know. The next thing
I know, it just happened.

What happened?

I took the knife out of my purse.

Wait a second. You produced the knife?

I knew there would be trouble.

And there was.

My daughter became totally abusive all
over again. She could be evil.

So, I stabbed her. What?

I just lost control.

I started swinging with the knife, and
John heard the screams, and he came.

He pulled me off her, but she was... I
killed her.

Previously,

you said your husband killed her.

I was afraid.

But then when you offered me immunity, I
thought I should tell the truth.

Counsel in chambers.

Now!

What the hell have you done now?

She lied to me. I can't believe it.

She was covering for him. Not to betray
a client's confidence, but Mrs. Ingram's

was the killer.

Your Honor...

My client participated in the cover -up.
He had nothing whatsoever to do with

the murder.

Now, John Ingrams told Father Barrett
all of this, that his wife committed

murder, and he helped to cover it up.

What did Father Barrett tell you?

He didn't say anything about Mr.
Ingrams.

There is some history, Your Honor. She's
had psychotic episodes in the past, and

nothing, of course, like this.

Well, she doesn't get immunity anymore.

We're going to use her profit. It's only
good for impeachment.

Her testimony is covered.

I think she goes free.

Oh, my God.

Everybody get out.

I'll take the bench in ten minutes.
Please, please get out.

And we can't even go after her?

I don't think so. But she lied to us. It
doesn't matter. We gave her full youth

and unity. She can...

I can't believe this has happened.

So it must have happened the way Brian
Latham said. They went to the pond, then

after he left her, she went back to the
pond.

I promise you, I didn't know she was
going to say that. She lied to me, too.

I know, Doug, I know.

Be seated.

Well, well, well.

Things didn't go exactly as planned
today.

Mrs. Ingram's was granted...

Use immunity.

That legally bars any prosecution
against her based on her testimony or

fruits.

Obviously, nobody knew she was going to
testify as she did.

But that doesn't matter.

The law's the law.

And here I am again, forced with having
to uphold the

law.

and free a killer.

I was so repulsed by that notion the
last time, I jumped the Constitution and

sent the killer to trial, where he was
convicted.

Only, he turned out not to be the
killer.

Maybe that's what happens when officers
of the court get reckless and forsake

the law.

The wrong people get convicted.

Like Mr. Wombau correctly pointed out, I
was a lousy judge the first time

around.

Well, I've gotten worse.

Because if upholding the law is going to
put Mrs. Ingrams back on the street,

then I'm putrid.

They'll have to drag me off the bench
and put me in a rubber room before I'll

set you free, lady.

You killed your own daughter.

You were going to let that man rot in
jail.

Well, he's out and you're in.

Here's the ruling from the lousy judge.

An immunity agreement is a form of a
contract.

It involves a meeting of the minds.

Fraud vitiates any contract.

You committed fraud.

I thereby declare the immunity agreement
invalid.

Deputy Stewart, place that woman under
arrest.

Throw her in lockup, and let's see that
she gets her constitutional right to a

speedy trial.

Mr. Wambaugh, any objections?

None. Permission to withdraw as counsel.

Granted. Everybody get out.

I wish I could play as loose with my
covenants as you do yours.

We wear different robes.

I may have to swing by confession,
Father.

Come to communion.

I'll break out the good stuff.

I never would have broken my rules.

But because you broke yours, I sleep a
little better.

God bless you, Henry.

I'll take it.

I still can't believe that woman lied as
well as she did.

Did you see the look on my face when she
said that? Did you see Bone's face?

Guess what? I found out that Mrs. Ingram
had been institutionalized six years

ago. Why did we never check on that?

We didn't check anything out.

Look, I'm going after this guy for
obstruction of justice, aiding and

and I'm going to push for attempted
murder. No, but he didn't fire.

He would have if Kenny hadn't shot him.
Oh, right. Kenny's a super cop.

Give it up. Give it up.

We need another round.

Wait, wait, wait. I got a question.
Drink up. What if he's lying?

Oh.

No, it's over.

It's over. We should ask Jimmy. We
should ask Jimmy after this. Wait, wait.

that another round. Jimmy.
