He kicked me.

You had no right to touch him. Hey, he
should be on a leash. Let me tell you

something. This kid's out of control.

Your kicks are being a bomb. You watch
it, buddy. He shouldn't be kept in a

cage. He kicked me. Hey, you had no
right to touch him.

What's going on? Get back. Thank God.
This little brat. He assaulted my son.

I told him I'd knock it off.

Please, listen. Hold on.

Get your fat kid out of my face. Please,
Big Brad, hurt me. Totally. Hold on.

He's a wild child.

Arrest that man. You go to hell. Ma 'am,
please. He's a demon.

Okay, sir.

Come on. Why don't you come with me and
we'll talk about it. Just put your hands

off me, okay? Sir.

Back off. If you don't comply, I'll
place you under arrest. Don't touch me.

can't.

Stay away from me.

Don't you dare touch me. You fascist.
All right. You are under arrest for

assaulting a police officer. Please
bring it on.

Come on. Hey.

Oh.

You bastard. Hey.

I'm in a car mill again. Let go of my
gun.

All right. You want it?

Stop or I will shoot.

Drop it. Get down on the ground. Drop it
or I'll shoot. Stop.

She killed him.

She killed Barney Bigbrad.

Yeah, I'm okay.

I didn't say anything.

Mr. Bigbreath's okay, too. It was just a
minor shoulder wound.

I heard.

I went to see the department shrink,
Kenny.

He cleared me.

I'm fine.

He was going for my gun. It was a clean
shoot.

He touched your holster, right?

Didn't I just say that?

Max? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Lila, honey, keep
it contained. All I'm asking for is a

change in the Venetian blind.

Hello? Are you here for the receptionist
job?

No, I know I said periwinkle, so I
changed my mind.

What, you said that you're going to
stroke out?

Deep breath, Lila. We'll look at some
new swatches this afternoon.

Okay? Okay, bye -bye.

Decorators.

You know, that new girl may not work
out. If you want to fill out an

application... Um, I'm Kimberly Brock.

Oh, okay.

Get a gun. Shoot me. I am so sorry,
Kimberly.

I'm Joanna Diamond.

My roommates and I watch your show all
the time. Well, good. I could use a

rating.

Your mom's not here right now. She does
a clinic at Thera on Mondays.

Yeah, I know. Um, actually, I came to
speak to you.

Me? What can I do for you, honey?

I have a problem.

A medical problem?

Sort of.

And you don't want to tell your mother?

I'd rather talk to you, if that's okay.

Sure.

You're suspending me? It's not
suspension.

It's paid administrative duty.

It was a righteous shoot. I know it was,
ma 'am. He was going for my gun. There

was standard procedure, officer
involved.

You didn't suspend Kenny when he shot
the psychiatrist.

Calm down. You're not being suspended.
And you sure as hell didn't suspend

yourself when you shot Laurie Bay in the
back. Both those cases were

investigated.

You're not being singled out here.

Yes, I am.

That's not fair.

You pull the trigger.

You face the heat like anyone else. Now,
complete your report, and we will

complete our investigation.

He'll be on the street in a couple of
days.

Okay.

Max, I'm going to need your weapon, too.

neighborhood. I thought I'd just stop
by. Yeah, everything okay?

Fine, fine.

I could take a half hour for lunch if
you like. Oh, no, no, no, that's okay. I

should be getting back. I'm kind of late
for class, so I'll see you later.

You sure everything's okay?

Yeah, perfect.

Jill, I know I said chartreuse for the
pillows, but I'm having second thoughts.

Did you just see my daughter?

Yeah, nice kid.

You talked to her? A little.

What did she say?

Nothing. Did she come here to see you?
No, Jill.

She did, didn't she?

Jill. What did she want to talk about?

I can't tell you.

What do you mean you can't tell me? What
part of that sentence don't you

understand?

She's a patient.

And down comes a duck.

You're pulling doctor -patient privilege
on me over my own daughter?

I really can't discuss it. Yes, you can.
You tell me why Kim came to see you.

I'm sorry.

That was my bad ear. I thought I just
heard you say, tell me, when I told you

can't. Joanna.

Oh, my God.

My daughter is not pregnant. She comes
to the office specifically to see

not me.

She lies to me about it. Joanna takes
the fifth. Now, it could be any number

things. Name one. Well, I don't know,
some... Sexually transmitted disease.

God. Why not lie?

Jimmy, you've got to talk to her. What?

Well... She's mad at me ever since I
called her pre -med advisor.

She thinks I spy on her. Well, what
makes you think she can fight in me?

very good in these situations, honey.

I've never been in a situation like
this.

Oh, yes. Do you remember when we caught
Kim in bed with Billy O 'Connell? I

threatened his life.

But you've mellowed since then, Jimmy.

You have to talk to her. We have to find
out what's going on. We have to help.

What would I say? I don't know.

You'll think of something.

Carlson, what are you doing?

Having some fun.

Well, I don't think that's very funny.

Max needs our support.

I figure if she ruins our reputation,
the least we can do is enjoy the ride.

It was a good shoot.

Would you have pulled the trigger?

She choked, buddy.

Women do not belong in combat.

It's that simple.

Gee, that's too bad.

Hey,

Pumpkin. Hi, Daddy.

So, what's up?

Oh, not much.

How's it going?

Calculus is killing me. Chemistry isn't
much better. I go to sleep dreaming of

carbon rings and Krebs cycles.

If I don't become a doctor after all
this junk.

Good, good, good.

So, you're feeling good, you look good,
school's good, not pregnant or anything?

What?

Nothing.

Am I pregnant?

Oh, is it a silly question, Leo?

Oh, this is coming from Mom, isn't it?
No.

No, she saw me with Dr.

Joey, so naturally she assumes I'm
pregnant.

She didn't say pregnant, necessarily.
Could be a sexually transmitted disease.

Oh, perfect.

Well, Mom thought it was just strange
seeing her that way. Dr.

Joey didn't say anything.

That makes you feel better?

No, I know Dr. Joey wouldn't sell me
out. I trust her. It's Mom I'm not so

about. Kimberly.

Well, you can tell her I'm not...
pregnant. I do not have a sexually

disease. I practice safe sex and she
sticks her nose in my personal business.

One more time, I will never, ever, ever
come home ever again. Not even to do

laundry.

Max, come with me. In a minute. Now.

What? You gotta see it. It's on TV.

I don't believe this.

They've been showing it on every
channel, Dad.

Look. As seen here in the amateur video
taken by Rome citizen Fred Stitt, the

argument escalated into a brawl,
resulting in the use of deadly force by

Maxine Stewart.

Justifiable shooting?

You be the judge. This is going to be
bigger than the Rodney King tape.

Zachary.

That's the guy who was in the Barney
Bigbrad outfit.

Where's Franklin down?

Turned up.

When a trigger -happy deputy is allowed
to shoot up the street... Trigger

-happy... None of us is safe.

That is why, on behalf of my client, Mr.
Williams, I have filed a civil rights

action against Deputy Maxine Stewart,
Sheriff James Brock, and the city of

Wisconsin, alleging the use of excessive
force in violation of the Fourth

Amendment of our Constitution.

It is time that we citizens of Rome hold
our law enforcement officials

accountable for their actions.

Turn it off.

It's totally bogus.

He's a wild child.

Arrest that man. You go to hell.

Ma 'am, please.

This is a game for the children, okay?

Okay, sir.

Come on. Why don't you come with me and
we'll talk it over.

As the Fred Stitt videotape plays in
living rooms across the country, the

Sheriff's Department is scrambling to
justify its shooting of Barney Bigbrat,

otherwise known as Curtis Williams, an
itinerant actor.

The shot heard round the cornfields has
brought police controversy to the heart

of small -town America, whose amber
waves of grain today are splattered with

blood of an unarmed sausage.

Reporting live from the Rome Sheriff's
Department, this is Timothy Malone,

Midwest Cable News.

You want to settle?

Douglas Wambaugh wants to raise the
white flag?

As special counsel to the mayor, it is
my responsibility to lay out all the

options, Jimmy. Well, settling is not an
option here.

Sheriff. My deputy didn't do anything
wrong. I didn't do anything wrong.

Nobody's saying you did.

How do you think people are going to
react to a settlement? It's an admission

guilt. Well, who cares what people
think?

It's important for us to limit the
city's exposure. You've got a trial.

Who knows what could happen?

Just take a look at our beautiful mayor
here.

With a little bit of courtroom magic, I
transformed a self -confessed bank

robber into our leading public servant.

I don't want to think about that. Well,
you better think about it, Jimmy. The

media's having a field day.

Female cop shoots a nine -foot hot dog
on videotape, no less.

Do you really want that kind of
publicity?

Have you seen this?

I know.

Self -styled super cop known as loose
cannon. Where did they get that? I don't

know. Sources within the Sheriff's
Department report that Deputy Stewart

tendency towards overzealousness.

Says one, she goes for her gun about as
often as her toothbrush.

What sources, Kenny? Who's talking?

It wasn't me, Max.

I'm going to Jimmy with this.

He's not in there. He's with the mayor.

Max! Max!

I don't want my people hesitating every
time they have to make a judgment call.

That could cost lives.

Now, this is a good shoot.

If we cave, it sends the wrong message.
The city doesn't back Max or me.

There's more at stake here than your
department's morale, Jimmy.

And let's face it, we all know that
Deputy Stewart doesn't make the best

defendant.

She's impulsive and hot -headed.

You want to tie your fate to her?

I know Franklin Delmayer.

He had his moment in the sun.

We give him a settlement, he gets what
he wants, we get what we want, and it'll

all go away.

He has a point, Sheriff.

I can't believe it.

Max. You're selling me out.

You're cutting a deal, aren't you?

For your information, Sheriff was just
about to tell us for the 20th time why

should go to trial.

Oh.

I think we've heard all the arguments.

Sheriff, Counselor, thank you.

I'll let you know my decision.

I'd like you to stay, Deputy. I'll see
you in my office.

Is that how you reacted yesterday?

With the bratwurst man?

No.

I won't put this city at risk for
someone I don't believe in. If you

out, I am a joke as a police officer. I
may as well quit.

It was a good shoot.

You've got to give me a chance to clear
my name.

Got a minute?

Just. I've got a taping in an hour.

Joanna, there's something that I wanted
to explain to you.

See, I'm actually Kimberly's stepmother.

I've raised her since she was three
years old.

So we've been through a lot of things
together.

When she was five, she ran through a
plate glass door. I was the one who

her up.

And, of course, when she started her
period, she came to me.

I guess what I'm trying to tell you is
that she's... Your baby. Yes, yes. Yes.

But she's not a baby anymore, Jill.

If you want your relationship to
survive, you're going to have to learn

respect that. I know.

I know that. I guess I'm just wondering
why she came to you instead of me. I

mean, what was it that she couldn't tell
me?

Did you want to tell your mother
everything when you were 18 years old? I

as hell didn't. I sincerely doubt that
my relationship with Kim is anything

your relationship with your mother.

Look, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll
give Kim a little jingle and see if I

arrange a sit -down. What?

Well, you obviously still want to know
what's going on. I can't tell you. But

maybe Kim will. You're going to
facilitate between me and Kim? Well,

the talk show host? Look, Joanna, I
don't need you to help me communicate

my daughter.

Oh, really?

Then why are you here?

I'm with the mayor, sticking my neck out
for you, and you just... I said I was

sorry.

It isn't just you.

My whole department's on the line.

I don't know.

Maybe Wambaugh's right. Maybe we should
settle.

Is that what you think?

I've decided.

We're going to trial.

I told him to get down, and he didn't.
So you shot him. He charged me.

You shot him, an unarmed man.

He wasn't unarmed. He was carrying a
club.

A plastic wiener. Well, I didn't know
that.

Oh, that was terrible.

What you just did was terrible. How many
times must I tell you you must not lose

your temper on the stand?

All right, let's start from the
beginning.

I'm tired.

You're not ready. You're far from being
ready.

You don't believe in this case, do you?
You think I'm a lousy cop.

What I believe doesn't matter.

What matters is your demeanor in the
courtroom.

I'll take that as a yes.

Well, we have a history, you know. I led
you by the nose in the Latham case.

What's that mean? You get angry too
quickly. You're arrogant and defensive,

the juries don't like you.

And your records.

They're bulging with reprimands for
reckless behavior.

I could win Franklin Delve's case for
him without consulting a single note.

Phone must be off the hook.

Too many calls from reporters.

Yeah.

Well, I just thought I'd come by and see
how you're doing.

I'm okay.

Yeah?

Well, you got what you wanted.

The trial, I mean.

Yeah.

Look, Max, we're all behind you.

Except for Carlson, you know what a jerk
he can be.

I almost took that guy's life, Kenny.

For what?

Hey, he assaulted you.

You thought your life was in danger,
right?

Right?

Yeah.

Well, you did what you had to do.

You defended yourself.

He went for your gun.

I think his hand was on my holster.

I keep looking at that tape.

In my mind, I play it over and over.

I see the bullet entering the costume.

And the look on his face.

Max, you can't second -guess yourself
now.

You're going to trial tomorrow.

I know.

Maybe it's all this... It's delayed
shock, all this media attention.

I almost killed that guy, Kenny.

Do you have any idea what that feels
like?

Yeah, I do.

I need to know.

Did I do the right thing?

Far away, Counselor.

Sorry. It's all right, Deputy Campbell.
Pick it up.

What? I said, pick it up.

Your Honor, I'm sure we're all impressed
that Mr. Dell can teach the sausage a

few simple tricks.

May I ask the relevancy?

What's next?

Dancing cheese curds?

I think this demonstration has served
its purpose, Mr. Dell.

You may shuck your bun now, Deputy.

He said you could shuck your bun now,
Deputy.

Okay.

Well, it must be pretty uncomfortable
inside that thing. It is, believe me.

to hear, too?

Definitely. In fact, Mr. Williams'
deputy steward was leading you away.

you hear what she said to you?

I'll tell you, it is so hot in that
thing.

I had a belligerent juvenile and his
mother shouting in my ear.

Honestly, I could hardly hear anything.

And next thing I know, someone was
pulling on my costume.

Were you confused?

Oh, definitely confused and disoriented.

Nice script.

Shut up.

At any time.

Did you place your hand on Deputy
Stewart's gun?

Absolutely not. I was merely trying to
protect myself from what I perceived to

be a threat to my personal safety.

Then why did you pick up the plastic
bratwurst and advance toward Deputy

Stewart? Didn't you hear her tell you to
stop?

No.

If I had, I would have stopped.

I wanted to get her attention, that's
all.

I wanted her to calm down and talk
things over.

So, there you are.

virtually unarmed, stuffed inside of a
clumsy costume. Do you have any idea why

she shot you?

No. I wish I did.

Sheriff Brock, would you identify this
for the court?

Deputy Stewart's personnel file.

I refer you to page two.

January 22nd, 1993.

Objection.

My client's past actions are irrelevant
to this case, Judge.

Your Honor, this goes directly to course
and pattern of violent behavior and the

sheriff's negligent supervision.

Objection overruled.

But I'll be looking for the connection,
Counselor.

Did you make that entry, Sheriff?

Yes. And to what does it refer?

Deputy Stewart discharged her weapon in
a house of worship.

Prior to making an arrest.

She fired into the ceiling, didn't she?

In a small room with over 20 people in
it.

Yes.

Would you read the entry, please?

You'll have to remember she was
relatively new to the department.

The last two sentences will do.

After reviewing the incident, we found
violation of department policy 4 .2,

suggested remedy, two -day suspension.

without pay, and 20 hours remedial
training, which she did, by the way.

Page four.

Where the hell were you, Doug?

Del's killing us out there.

A personal file is fair game.

That file... Jimmy, there's nothing I
can do. That file tells part of the

and that's it.

But when I cross -examine, you get to
tell the other part.

Maybe we should settle.

What?

Didn't you look at the jury's faces?

They think I'm guilty.

Maxine, our team hasn't even come to bat
yet. What's the point?

They've made up their minds already.

You want to quit?

Del won't stop until he's hammered
every... You're going to get on that

you're going to defend yourself, and
you're going to defend this department.

Quitting is not an option.

Is that understood?

Sheriff, I know how you feel.

But it's the pressure that's all opening
night jitters.

On my first case, I got hives all over.
I wanted to walk away, but I stood my

ground. I won the case, and you could
win too.

Just stick to what we went over, and no
matter what happens, don't lose your

cool.

I'll be there to protect you, Maxine.
All you have to do is tell the truth.

You tell me when to stop now. You tell
me when Mr. Williams has his hand on

holster.

Stop.

I can't see much of anything, can you?

It's a bad angle.

They say the camera never lies, Deputy
Stewart.

Could it be that Mr. Williams never had
his hand on your holster? Is it possible

that in all the excitement, all the
rolling around, the adrenaline rushing,

you could have been mistaken?

No. You're telling me it's not possible,
not even conceivable, that a piece of

Mr. Williams' costume might have brushed
against your holster and you mistook

that for his hand?

Costumes don't pull on holsters.

Hands do.

I see.

So that's your testimony.

Despite the photographic evidence, you
maintain that Mr. Williams pulled on

holster. That's why I yelled, let go of
my gun.

You've had your gun taken away from you
before, haven't you? Objection

irrelevant.

Overruled. Deputy Stewart.

Yes. When was that?

Three years ago.

I was trying to take care of a mentally
ill man in a Santa Claus suit.

And he stole your gun and he held you
hostage, correct?

Yes.

How did that make you feel, Deputy?

Like I was never going to let anyone
steal my gun again.

The fact is that even the slightest
provocation in the area of your holster,

real or imagined, might make you
immediately go for your weapon.

Wouldn't it? I mean, to prevent a
similar incident from occurring.

No. Come on, Deputy.

Are you telling me that the Santa Claus
episode had no effect on the way that

you handled Mr. Williams here? Are you
telling me that you were not afraid that

another man in a silly outfit was going
to make a fool of you?

Objection! Overruled. I'm telling you,
he had his hand on my gun.

What crime had Mr.

Williams committed before you arrived on
the scene, Deputy?

I was trying to make that determination
when he assaulted me. The fact is... You

could not say then, and you cannot tell
this jury today, that Mr. Williams had

done anything wrong prior to your
arrival on the scene. Isn't that so?

Yes. Did it ever occur to you that he
might have resisted because he couldn't

hear you from inside the weenie?

No. No.

And when he did resist, did you call for
backup?

There wasn't time.

Really? From the time that you first
encountered resistance...

Until you fired your gun, you didn't
have any opportunity to de -escalate the

situation and call for backup.

I was attempting to control the suspect.

Well, yes, but you could have backed
off, couldn't you? I mean, it was

physically possible, wasn't it?

Possible, but not very plausible.

Not for you, perhaps.

So instead, you chose to shoot an
unarmed man who, by your own admission,

committed no crime.

Assaulting an officer is a crime,
Counselor.

And he was not unarmed. He was holding a
club.

A plastic bratwurst weighing under a
pound?

At the time, I didn't know what it was.

I thought it was a weapon he could use
to disarm me.

A plastic weenie.

Deputy Stewart, wasn't it really your
pride that was on the line here?

Isn't that what this was all about?

No. Ambition, pride, hot -headedness,
that's the story of your career, isn't

Now, another officer might have de
-escalated the situation, but not Maxine

Stewart, not Supercop.

Objection! Isn't that true, Deputy?

He's making a speech.

Sustained. Mr. Dell, just ask the
questions.

Very well, Your Honor, I shall do
exactly that.

Deputy Stewart, when you chose not to
call for backup, was it because you need

to prove you can do it all by yourself?

No. And when Mr. Williams resisted, did
you choose to fight because you like

showing how tough you are?

No. And when you felt yourself losing
control, didn't you go for your gun

because that's what you always do when
you're in trouble?

That's not what happened. Isn't it true,
Deputy, that you fired?

Endangering the public. Almost taking a
human life. And all because you weren't

going to let a man in a plastic sausage
suit get the better of you. Isn't that

true, Deputy?

Isn't that the way it was? Objection!

Objection! Objection!

This is absurd. I don't even know why
I'm here. Kimberly, I'm just

concerned that... Wait. Let her finish.

Kim?

Just because you're my mother doesn't
mean you own me.

I need to feel like I have some freedom
to do what I want to do. And as long as

it's not hurting anybody, what do you
care?

All right. Well put.

Okay, Jill, let's tell Kimberly how
we're feeling.

How I'm feeling is angry that I'm
sitting here talking to you through a

party, Kimberly.

And beyond that, I'm feeling sad that
you feel you can't talk to me anymore. I

never said that.

Whoa, Kim. Same rules apply. Let your
mother speak.

If things are so bad or so wrong that
you can't talk to me, then that makes me

afraid for you, honey.

I see you leaving my office and I say,
Kimberly's sick.

Kimberly's hurting.

And who do you go to talk to about it? A
stranger.

A... talk show host, for God's sake. It
always comes back to you. Wait a minute,

Mom. This is what drives me crazy about
you. You just keep harping on why I

won't talk to you. Well, why won't you
talk to me?

You say you're upset about it, and then
you send Dad to weasel things out of me.

Whatever happened to asking me directly?

I assumed you wouldn't talk to me about
it, especially after the incident with

the pre -med advisor.

Well, how do you know unless you ask? If
you would have asked, maybe I would

have told you. Mom, look, I got a
tattoo.

Wow, whoopee, alert the media. Instead,
you get Dad on my case and then make me

go to some stupid therapy session.

Hey, let's stick to our feelings here.
Shut up.

You got a tattoo?

Some friends and me, we got a little
crazy and we all got tattoos.

And the next day, well, it just looked
so permanent that I wanted to find out

how much of a hassle it would be to get
it removed.

I was going to ask you, but then I
remembered how Dad totally freaked when

told him Loretta Bennett got this little
teensy little butterfly on her ankle.

So I came to Dr. Joey.

So, you want to remove it?

Well, now that I've lived with it for a
few days, I kind of like it.

Uh -huh.

What do you think?

I hate it.

But it's your wrist.

I'm sorry you were worried.

I'm sorry, Kimberly.

I'm sorry.

Okay, this is the part where you kiss
and make up and get out of my office.

Shut up.

Okay, work what I'm doing here because I
want you to be able to fix this.

Back.

Can we turn that off, please?

Dad, do you think Max should have shot
that guy?

Oh, that's complicated.

She thought she was being attacked.

She did what she thought was right.

Danny McDaniel says that all cops are
fascist.

What do you think?

I don't know.

What's a fascist?

Okay, let's see what we got here.

Yes, sir.

Good as new.

We give police officers a gun.

We train them to know when to shoot.

But out there, we come across things we
never learn in training.

It's easy to criticize.

It's not so easy when you're the one
holding the gun and you have a split

to decide whether or not to pull the
trigger.

Like you did with Laurie Bay?

Yeah.

Do you think you would ever do it again,
Dad?

No, I don't think so.

It's a terrible feeling taking a human
life.

Or close to it.

You have to make sure you're right. I
mean, really right.

Because no matter what the law says, you
have to live with yourself.

So, Mr. Williams, you have no idea why a
police officer would shoot an enraged

maniac that was fighting like a crazy
person. Your Honor!

I'll rephrase the question.

How are you?

What? Well, it's a simple question.

Are you feeling good? Are you feeling
bad?

You got a little gas, maybe?

Are you some kind of comedian?

Oh, I've been known to tell a joke or
two, but let's move on.

You told the jury...

That you're an out -of -work actor.

How long have you been starring in the
role of Benny Bratwurst?

Barney Big Brat. Oh, I apologize. I
don't mean to insult a member of the

family. I have relatives in Frankfurt,
you know. Wombo.

I'm sorry, Your Honor.

You told the jury that you're a peace
-loving man.

Isn't that right?

Yes. Ever hit anyone before, Mr.
Williams?

Objection. Irrelevant.

Your Honor, he says he's a peace -loving
fellow. I get to impeach. Go ahead, but

get to it.

How about it, Mr. Williams?

Did you ever hit a person, say, in the
last five years?

No. Did you ever get into an altercation
or break somebody's jaw?

Maybe you can recall this man's name.

Joe Westerhaus.

Yes, but that was on stage.

Uh, in a play. You mean to tell me it
was scripted?

I was playing a part in a play, I got
immersed in the role, and I went too

that's all. Weren't you suspended from
Actors' Equity for six months?

They refused to understand.

Yes or no, Mr. Williams?

Yes, but it was a lousy decision.

It was an accident, they knew that.

An accident?

You put a man in the hospital?

$3 ,000 worth of dental work alone.

Isn't that right, Mr. Williams?

I don't know. I apologize to the guy.

That ought to make him feel a lot
better. When did this all happen?

Four months ago.

Four months ago.

Ah.

No wonder you're in Rome, Wisconsin.

Because you couldn't work in the
legitimate stage.

I'm on vacation.

What a way to spend a vacation imitating
processed meat.

But...

Not so bad.

One day you'll meet a nice little
liverwurst.

Objection. You think you're pretty
funny, don't you?

Wambaugh, I'm warning you.

And Mr. Williams, please confine your
remarks to the questions asked. What?

supposed to let him take cheap shots at
me all day? I can't do anything about

it? Well, what would you like to do, Mr.
Williams?

Suck me in the jaw?

Objection! Hey, I'm the guy who got shot
here!

Wambaugh!

Such an outburst.

I withdraw the question.

So, when you go back to your jury room,
ladies and gentlemen, you must ask

yourself these questions.

Why didn't Deputy Stewart back off?

Why didn't she call for help?

Well, after you've examined the
evidence, you'll know the answer.

It is because Deputy Stewart is a
trigger -happy macho cop with a

history of bad judgment in the field.

Now is the time for you to tell your
sheriff's department that you don't want

loose cannons like her wearing a badge.

Now is the time that you must tell your
city that the Fourth Amendment to our

Constitution still means something here
in Rome, Wisconsin, that the police are

not above the law.

That's the message that you must send.

My esteemed colleague has made such a
big deal about who chose to do what in

this case.

But who really has a choice here, my
friends?

It was the plaintiff who ignored
repeated warnings and who chose to turn

simple conversation into violence.

It was the plaintiff who gave my client
no choice.

but to act as she did.

Ah, now we could look at that videotape
all day, but it would still tell you

nothing about that one critical question
that you have to decide for yourselves.

Did he go for her gun or did he not?

Now, who do you trust to answer that?

Well, consider who kept their cool in
the courtroom and who didn't.

Whose behavior?

throughout the incident has shown
control, and who has shown lack of

Deputy Stewart responded to this violent
man exactly as her training told her to

do. She showed restraint.

He showed none.

When at last she fired, she did so to
protect herself and all those that were

around her.

Deputy Stewart did her job, my friends.

Now you do yours.

It's only one and it's outside, okay?
It's your lungs.

So, is the house of Brock back in order?

You know, I, um... I didn't really see
you as

being much help in this situation
initially.

I guessed that.

What changed your mind?

I don't know.

Maybe the fact that Kimberly trusted
you.

Or that no matter how much I pressure
you, you didn't breach her confidence.

I respect you for that.

Ooh, that must have hurt.

Like swallowing broken glass.

But it's the truth.

You have more skill than I give you
credit for.

Well, hold the presses. Do I hear an
apology here? No, I'm hearing an

merely tried to say that you are wrong
and I'm right. No, I hear you. It's

Jill. I accept your apology.

Has anyone ever told you that you're
totally obnoxious?

Other than you?

No, I don't think so.

Right.

Madam foreperson, has the jury reached a
verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

What say you?

In the matter of Williams versus Stuart
Brock in the city of Rome, we fine for

the defendant and direct that the
plaintiff take nothing.

This court will remain in order.

The claims against the defendants are
dismissed.

Members of the jury, thank you for your
time.

This court is adjourned.

Now, get out.

A couple more factors, Jimmy.

Greensboro, North Carolina, Dallas,
Texas. Oh, this is just amazing. Look at

this. I guess a lot of people were
pulling for us. I guess.

I guess so.

Jimmy, can I talk to you for a second?
Sure.

Alone?

What a problem.

Theodore Calley. Yeah, you got it. Yeah.

Come in, sit down.

Factors from the pilots all over the
country. You did all right.

I was thinking about turning in my
badge.

I shouldn't have shot that guy, Jimmy. I
should have found another way.

A jury of your peers didn't think so.

It's not what they think. It's what I
think.

I don't know if I can go back out there.

I see.

I never doubted myself before, Jimmy.

Not like this.

Could make you a better cop.

Could make me totally useless.

We're given the power over life and
death, and we're supposed to know how to

it.

Do it right. Nobody says much. Do it
wrong.

You got hell to pay.

It's not fair. It's not going to change.
It's the job.

Thing is, Maxine, you're going to have
to live with this, whether or not you

quit.

You can use it as a weakness.

Or you can use it as a source of
strength. It's up to you.

Your strength is measured in how you
confront your weakness.

I believe this is yours.
