All language subtitles for LA Law s06e16 From Here to Paternity.eng

Previously on L .A. Law.

You and Ms. Alder had a relationship,
right?

I wouldn't call it a relationship. We
went out a few times.

You had sexual relations on some of
those occasions, didn't you?

What's this about, Mr. Gordon?

This is about paternity, Mr. Markowitz.

You have a daughter.

She's your daughter, Stuart.

What? You're the father, I can tell.

Terrific. Let's drop some paper. Look in
her eyes, for God's sake. Can't you see

it? I don't believe this. How are we
going to tell Matthew?

Are you okay about this? It's not the
mother.

It's the idea that there is a stranger
out there that has some kind of claim on

you. Is this what they mean by hands -on
journalism?

Roxanne. Hi.

This is Julie Rayburn.

Do you know Julie River? No.

No, but I've heard a lot about her.

I live with someone.

And I love her. I won't hurt her.

God, that turns me on.

Julie, look, I gotta go.

Mr.

Becker, you have a torsion.

A man's testicles are suspended inside
the scrotal sac by the spermatic cords.

These cords can sometimes become
twisted.

Okay.

Nothing happened.

You don't sound like you mean it.

Don't push it, Arnie. I'm doing the best
that I can.

Could you speed it up in there, please?
I'm late.

You can join me if you want to.

No, thank you.

Come on, Rock.

I'm moving a little slow here.

There's a drought.

You're a good citizen.

So how are they feeling, Tim?

Oh, much better, thank you.

Ah, here. Let me scrub them back. All
right.

You know, I get the feeling, Rock, there
still may be some...

residual tensions between us?

Thank you very much.

Well, I know I haven't given you reasons
to trust me in the past, but this time,

I swear, nothing happened.

I really need you to believe me.

Bernie, I want to believe you.

I really do want to believe you. Whoa,
careful, Ralph. I still got stitches

there. Don't worry. I need to trust you.
You need to trust me. What are you

doing? Hold still.

Don't worry.

I just need the answer to one simple
question.

What did you do with Julie Rayburn?

Nothing. I swear on my Tinder,
recuperating parts, nothing.

I believe you. Good. Could you let go
now, please?

Do I have to?

Maybe not.

Is your name Robert Henry Richards?

Yes.

Were you born in Santa Monica,
California?

Yes.

Did Tyra McDermott consent to have
sexual intercourse with you on September

20th, 1991?

Yes. Did you have the highest batting
average in the National League last

Uh, no.

No? Well, they called my single in the
last game an error, so Pendleton won the

title. You were robbed.

Do you have a California driver's
license?

Uh, yes.

Did you rape Tara McDermott on September
20th, 1991?

No.

Okay, that's it. You can move.

So, how'd I do?

He can hear.

Your client's telling the truth.

So how come we can't use this thing in
court?

So how come you can't steal second base
on a foul ball?

Rules of the game.

That's right. But don't worry. The jury
will get to hear you.

Is Robbie going to take the stand?

We haven't made that determination, but
since the polygraph test Robbie passed

is not admissible, chances are he will
testify.

Well, there he is.

Well done.

Come on, Ann, you'd do the same.

I'm sorry, I wouldn't. That's cheap
thrills throwing in a polygraph test.

Are you upset that he passed? There's
nothing. Exactly.

What, you think he's got to be guilty
just because a woman yells rape? What

would she have to gain from making it
up?

Lazy groundwork for a big fat civil
suit. That's right. Stuart, excuse me if

it's not politically correct.

but I'm representing this man as Alex is
defending a drug lord. He's not a drug

lord. He's just a guy who was dumb
enough to take a fall. And I happen to

believe my client. Would you be so
bothered if this were a murder charge?

No, I'm bothered because the incidence
of false rape report is minuscule. Well,

then let's forget trials and just
castrate the bastard.

Ladies, ladies, please, a little
sensitivity. It's Arnie's first day

Yeah, he still may be feeling a little
testy. But we know you'll be back on the

ball in no time. Right, Arnie?

Thanks, guys.

Neck, people versus Ruiz. I thought we
agreed to plead this out. For some

reason, the D .A. won't budge. Judge
Kelton's playing hardball. Kelton's

favorite game. Yeah, well, your first
piece of bad luck was ending up in his

courtroom. Tell me about it. The
evidence against my guy comes from a

cocaine customers that somebody planted
in his house, and the cops took it

without a warrant.

And Kelton's gonna let it in? He ruled
it was found incident to arrest and

denied my motion to suppress.

You plead this one now, Alex.

Make the D .A. listen to you. And on
that sound advice... We're adjourned.

No, C .J., I'm just saying I followed
his career for two years. He doesn't

to be the type.

Oh, come on. Now, the D .A. only brought
charges because Richards is a

superstar. You probably have his rookie
card.

Right. I'm angling for an autograph.

You've got to give me some of the
retainer bags. How much, Rui?

Fifteen. You think we can buy Judge
Kelton for fifty? Are you nuts?

You're talking about a crime.

Besides, no way Judge Kelton's crooked.
Who's this guy? An ex -cop. He's a

friend of Kelton's.

He can make it go away.

He's running a scam on you. He knows
you're scared.

You bet I'm scared.

I'm looking at a 12 -year minimum. So
you want to add a bribery charge?

Simone, I want to go for it. Look, I'm
not just your attorney. I'm an officer

the court. But you've got a problem.
I'll get me another lawyer.

Good. This firm would love to see me get
rid of you.

Or you can let me talk to the sex cop.

I'll force his hand, prove he's no
friend of Judge Kelton's. But then we go

to doing things my way.

How are you going to call his bluff?

Stuart, I... Oh, sorry.

No, Anne, come here, come here.

I'd like you to meet Karen Alder. It's
Sarah's mother. This is my wife, Anne

Kelsey. Hi. It's a pleasure meeting you.

Well, I'd better get going.

I'll tell Sarah your idea. Maybe it's a
good solution.

I think it's worth a try.

Yeah. Okay. Okay.

I'll let you know what she decides.

It was nice meeting you. Nice to meet
you. Okay.

Bye -bye. Thanks, Karen.

What's worth a try?

I was sending some money to Sarah, you
know, for books and clothes and things

like that.

Karen thought it was a terrible idea.

She doesn't want to come running to me.
Every time she needs money, she thinks

she should earn some of it herself.

Sounds sensible. So suddenly it hit me.
I'm drowning in paperwork here. Why

don't I hire Sarah?

Hiring family members can get pretty
messy.

Well, we're family. We work together.

That's not the same thing at all.

You don't even know Sarah yet. Yeah, so
this way I'll get to know her. I'm not

saying that you shouldn't get to know
your daughter. Why are you having a

problem with this? Because I'm jealous
of her, and I'm scared that she's going

to keep you from us.

Oh, I... I know, but that's how I feel.
I can't help it.

I love you.

I love our son.

Okay?

It's just that I can't pretend Sarah
doesn't exist.

I've got to get past the hurdle of this
person being a stranger to me. And I

think offering her a job is a great way
to start.

Okay?

Miss McDermott, where did you meet
Robbie Richards?

At a bar in Malibu, the Key Largo. He
kept looking at me, and then he

came over and asked if he could buy me a
drink.

And you agreed?

Sure. It's not every day that I get to
meet somebody like him.

How long did you stay at the bar?

We talked for about an hour. We really
seemed to hit it off.

And then he asked if I wanted to go to a
party.

Now, up to this point, was there
anything...

And Mr. Richards' behavior that
suggested you were in danger.

No. I mean, I knew that he was flirting
with me, but... I

thought he was real sweet.

But that changed at the party.

Yes. Robbie and I took a walk out on the
bluff.

What happened when you were alone?

He started to kiss me hard. I tried to
push him away. I told him...

To slow down.

And what happened?

He pushed me down on the ground.

And the next thing I knew, he was on top
of me, pulling my

skirt up.

And I kept saying no.

How did Mr. Richards respond?

He raped me.

Did you resist?

I tried, but he was so strong, I
couldn't move. I screamed, but he had

across my throat.

And what happened when it was over?

I got up and ran, and he came after me
and grabbed me, asked me what was wrong,

why I was running away.

And I started thinking that maybe I was
crazy because he kept talking,

saying how nice it was and how good I
had been.

Almost as if he were consoling the
losing team.

Objection. That is not what she said.

Sustained. After he walked you back
inside, you left the party a short time

later. Yes.

Thank you, Todd.

You didn't leave the party right away,
did you, Miss McDermott?

I gotta go. Out of there as fast as I
could.

Didn't you first go upstairs to one of
the bedrooms to touch up your makeup?

I was a mess.

Did you tell anyone upstairs or when you
went back down to the party that you

had been assaulted?

No. But you did speak to people. In
fact, weren't you trying to find Robbie

Richards, this man you had to get away
from?

Didn't you ask several guests where he
was?

Yes. And isn't that... When you got
upset when you heard that he'd left the

party without you.

I don't remember. Do you remember that
the next morning you left two messages

for Mr.

Richards at the stadium?

Yes. What exactly did you want to
discuss with this man you say brutally

attacked you?

I wanted him to apologize.

For treating you like a one -night
stand?

Isn't that what this is really about?

No. Well, if he had said he was sorry.

Would you have still gone to the police?

I don't know.

But you waited 12 hours.

Why? I know, but I... Wasn't it because
you wanted to make sure he

wasn't going to return your call before
you cried rape? It wasn't like that.

I have nothing further.

How you doing?

Not bad.

Coffee?

You been faster?

Who are you?

Armand. I represent Al Ruiz.

Never heard of him.

Mr. Ruiz thinks a friend of yours wants
to do business with him. Wrong.

I got no friend who needs a lawyer.

Not even a lawyer who's holding his
client's cash?

There you go.

Maybe you got no friend at all.

Oh, I got a friend, though, right?

I do.

I know guys like Al Ruiz come before the
bench one time, but I can do business

day in, day out.

Of course, sometimes the case can get
pretty discouraging.

That's all.

Yeah, you get a judge who's against you,
denies your motion to suppress

evidence, denies it out of hand.

Makes it tough.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You always hope a judge will reconsider
a motion.

I've seen it happen.

Judge sleeps on a ruling, decides to
rethink it.

And if that happens, what's it prove?

Well, it's just a sign, you know?

A sign that you're being heard.

That things might go in your way.

No.

No, you get the next one.

We'll see.

You need these copied and filed by when?

Friday.

It's only two days.

Piece of cake.

Blue or yellow?

I don't know.

Blue? Brilliant. My favorite color.

No, I mean, I don't know what I'm
supposed to do with them. Oh, Benny,

my daughter, Sarah. You know, I
mentioned to you she's going to be

you. Sarah, this is Benny Stallworth.

Hi.

Hello.

Isn't she gorgeous?

Where's the paper shutter?

Oh, we moved it over there, Benny. We
wanted to give Sarah a little workspace.

Well, what if it comes on by accident
and I drop an important letter into it?

Unplug it while you do the mail.

Yeah, there's a good suggestion.

How come she gets to wear jeans?

I forgot to mention the dress code we
have here.

Jeans aren't okay.

We're supposed to wear nice clothes.

Have you had anything to eat since
lunch? I don't eat lunch.

I guess I better get started.

No, I don't want you working on an empty
stomach. Come on, I'll get you

something downstairs.

Benny, excuse us.

Oh. So, uh... Hey,

Kessler.

Hi. Great to have you back.

I've been feeling terrible about what
happened.

It wasn't your fault.

But I can't stop thinking about your
injury.

Everything okay?

No permanent damage.

Thank you.

Good. A girl could get a reputation.

Listen, if I had to share such an
awkward and painful experience with

can't imagine anyone who could have been
more understanding than you.

So, everything okay at home?

Because I'd be happy to talk to Roseanne
if she's upset.

No, no.

She was, but she's coming around.

I just hate for her to get the wrong
idea about what happened between us.

Not that anything did happen.

No, damn it.

But I bet it would have been nice if it
had.

Take that.

Well, you're sure everything's okay with
Roseanne? Oh, Roxanne, and yeah, I

explained it, and she believed me.

Hang on to her. Women like that are few
and far between.

I know.

Oh, great. Let's go over it together.

The first thing I noticed was a series
of lacerations on her thighs and

buttocks. And the cause of these
lacerations? The injuries were

Miss McDermott's claim that force had
been used.

Were there any other signs of a
struggle?

Tenderness around the throat and wrists.

Dr. Morris, was there anything in your
examination that was inconsistent with

Miss McDermott's allegation that a rape
had occurred?

No. All my findings supported that
claim.

Thank you, Doctor.

Your witness.

Doctor, you say Miss McDermott sustained
lacerations. Exactly what do you mean

by lacerations? In this case, rather
deep cuts.

Cuts that could have been made by jagged
shells or rocks?

They looked more like fingernail
scratches.

So what you were calling lacerations
were fingernail scratches?

These were deep scratches.

Could these scratches have resulted from
nothing more than passionate sex?

It's possible, but I doubt it.

Doctor, if Miss McDermott had never
mentioned rape, would you have

that one had occurred based solely on
your examination?

Rape was a strong possibility.

A possibility?

A strong.

Possibility. And you're comfortable
supporting an accusation of rape based

possibility?

Objection. Withdrawn.

Thank you, doctor.

Yeah, I thought it could be a little
strange, but it's actually working out

quite well. As long as the documents are
ready on time.

What I did?

He won't let me. She wouldn't let me.

Wonderful.

We'll see you a week from Tuesday. Next
case, please.

People versus Rui.

Gentlemen, before we continue with the
calendar, I have decided to reconsider

Mr. De Palma's earlier motion to
suppress.

Judge Kelton, I don't see how you can do
that. After some additional research, I

have decided to take a second look. On
what grounds?

My review of the law, Mr. Handelman,
suggests that it's a closer call than

thought. Your Honor. I will make my
ruling on Friday.

Is that clear?

We were right.

Kelton's for sale.

How do you know?

I asked Ventresca for a sign of good
faith, and the judge just gave it to me.

So what now?

What, now? Now we go to the D .A. Hey,
don't double -cross me.

Luis, they'll eat this up.

Oh, you mean they'll cut me a deal? I
can't guarantee that.

Then forget it. Forget I ever mentioned
Ventresca. It's way too late for that.

Look, I'll cut you in, huh?

I'll find another 20 for you. Luis,
there's no other way. We gotta report

No, Alex, you don't.

What are you talking about?

The D .A. already knows.

What the hell is going on?

Congratulations, Mr. DePalma.

You just did the right thing.

You were out to entrap me. We had to
confirm your reliability.

Oh, get the ball, with all due respect.
I was in the crosshairs.

Okay.

We weren't sure which way you would go.
So you concocted a bogus crime, you sent

me a phony client, and you set me up?
You were never a primary target. Oh,

makes me feel much better. Listen, I
completely understand your outrage, but

surely you understand the position
you're in now.

This office is enormously grateful to
you and enormously dependent on your

continued assistance.

Well, don't get too attached to that
scheme. I do not have to play along.

but if our suspicions are valid, we're
talking about corruption that stinks to

high heaven. Now, this man makes a
travesty of everything you and I do. Now

we've flushed him out.

Ventresca trusts you. We can nail the
bastard if you help.

You want me to deliver the bribe?

I hoped we could count on you.

That's why I took the liberty of having
this prepared.

I think $50 ,000 was the sum Mr.
Ventresca is expecting.

Yeah.

And if Judge Kelton wriggles out of this
somehow and stays on the bench, I take

the heat for the rest of my career.

There's that risk.

You got some nerve.

The question is, do you have the nerve
to join me?

If you do, you've got to keep this
completely quiet.

Judge Kelton has too many friends in too
many arenas.

Thanks to Palmer.

My wife and I had invited the rest of
the team over for a barbecue.

Sometime after midnight, I saw Robbie
and Miss McDermott slip out back.

When did you next see them? About 20
minutes later, I was upstairs checking

the kids when I heard a scream from
outside.

I went out onto the balcony and saw them
down on the bluff.

What were they doing?

At first, I thought they were having
sex.

But then she jumped to her feet and
started running back to the house.

And what did Mr. Richards do?

He chased her.

and grabbed her. She screamed and kept
on trying to break free, but he wouldn't

let her go. I hustled down there to see
what was going on, but by the time I got

outside, they were already coming up the
walkway.

Did you say anything to either one of
them? I asked her if she was okay, but

just walked on by with this blank look
on her face.

Thank you.

Nothing further.

Mr. Landis, what is the distance from
your balcony to the spot on the cliff

where you saw Mr.

Richards and Miss McDermott? I'd say 50
yards.

It's a night with a half moon.

You're standing 50 yards away and you
see a couple running and grabbing at

other. And you immediately conclude this
is something sinister.

This wasn't play. It was violent.

Then why didn't you yell something to
make them stop?

I went down there. To see what was going
on.

Those are your exact words, Mr. Landis.

You went down there because you didn't
know what you had seen. Isn't that

I know what I saw.

Is it true that your teammates have
nicknamed you Mr. Clean?

Objection. It's irrelevant.

Goes to bias, Your Honor. I can get
there. See that you do.

The witness will answer.

I know the reputation I have.

Yes.

I'm a Christian, and I believe in family
values.

And you don't approve of premarital sex?

I don't think a big league uniform is a
license to use women like Kleenex. Now,

is that your opinion of how Robbie
Richards treated women?

Yes. So when you saw him slip out back
with his date, you assumed something

unseemly was going to take place. Hey, I
saw what I saw. You saw what you

expected to see because you didn't like
Robbie Richards. And no matter what I

thought of Robbie's lifestyle, I
wouldn't want to hurt him. Because when

gets slung at ballplayers, the whole
game gets dirty. And that hurts what I

love. But I can't change what I saw, and
I won't say I didn't see it. Your

Honor.

Overruled.

I have nothing further.

How bad was that for us?

Bad enough.

He's your own colleague, and he didn't
come off nearly as biased as I'd hoped.

So what now? If you have plans tonight,
cancel them.

We have to get you ready to testify
tomorrow.

Hey, Sarah. How was school?

Okay. I almost have the client packets
ready.

Terrific. Then you deserve a break.

I got you something at lunch.

Now, you said your favorite subject was
ancient history, right?

Mm -hmm. Do you have this one yet?

No.

Thanks.

It's nice.

I'll tell you, history put me into a
coma until I started traveling. Then the

whole world opened up. I've got to get
these out to the messenger.

Yeah, I'll help you.

So, have you done any traveling?

Not unless Ensenada counts.

Ensenada's not exactly what I had in
mind.

Now, I was thinking maybe you could go
abroad in your junior year. That's what

my father did for me. Look, you're not
my father.

I mean, you are.

But give me a break. Stop trying so
hard.

Want to get a bite to eat?

Uh, too much homework.

I'm still struggling with this Ruiz
thing.

That's not what I heard.

Heard the judge did you a big favor.
Well, he's just reconsidering. That is

plenty coming from Kelton.

Maybe he's getting soft in his old age.
I don't think that's it, Alex.

What's going on? I heard something
coming out of this office the other day.

really on the run here, Tom. Don't jerk
me around.

Let's do this later.

Do you think you can pull off some two
-bit stunt? Don't jump to conclusions.

You want me to trust you?

Help me out a little. Just get the hell
out of my office. I vouch for you here.

The partner said reservations, pal, but
I said I know this kid. He ain't Ivy

League. He ain't up for 5 % of his
class, but he is a fighter. He will give

his best.

You screw up, Alex, you're screwing me.

Didn't Tara McDermott pull away when you
first tried to kiss her? No, sir. She

kissed me back. Didn't she say that?

No, I don't want to.

She did, but she had to hear her. She
was laughing.

She, uh, laid on the ground.

You didn't push her down? No, that's a
bunch of bull. Don't lose your cool.

That's what the D .A. wants.

She reclined on the ground while you
weren't touching her.

No, I was holding her.

We went down together.

It was sort of frantic.

Okay. Now, once you were down on the
ground, what happened?

We started to roll around.

She seemed to be liking it.

Rolling around meaning sometimes you
were on top and sometimes she was on

I think I was on top.

So you didn't roll, so you stayed on
top.

What made you think she liked it?

The way she was... She wasn't just
laying there.

She was pressing against me.

But you were on top, so weren't you
pressing into her?

Yeah. We were having sex.

Was that when you put your arm across
her throat?

I wasn't trying to choke her.

I was holding her hands.

Her hands?

Or one of them. So you had both her
hands and one of yours held, what, up

her head?

Yeah. Maybe for part of it. Which part?
The part when you entered her?

I guess.

Yeah. But she wasn't fighting.

Not a little? Not even, you know,
struggle?

Sure. Only, you know, like... Like she
was hot for it.

Robbie, did she guide you in?

No. That's right. Her hands are trapped
over her head. What about her legs? Did

her legs fall open?

What do you mean?

I mean, did you use your free hand or
your knee to push her legs apart?

Yeah. It was pretty passionate.

And the frantic pace escalated? Yes.

And she was struggling under you?

Yes. And she was still laughing and
yelling? No.

It was more like a whisper.

You know, like women do.

What do you mean?

say no when they mean yes you know like
it's a turn on or something so so

she was struggling like women do when
they're turned on and she was saying no

the way women do when they mean yes
right

my god what

you did it robbie you raped her

No, I didn't.

Tell her what I meant.

Hey, man, I don't know what you meant,
but I know you just described a rape.

I must have said it wrong.

Tell me what I said. I won't say it that
way. You mean you're lying.

I can't put you on the stand.

But you said the jury needed to hear me.

You said if I didn't testify, we could
lose. If I let you testify now, we will

lose.

Thank you.

Miss Van Owen, you may call your next
witness. We have no further witnesses,

Your Honor.

The defense rests.

Order in the courtroom.

Then we'll proceed to closings.

Natural athletes like Robbie Richards
are a breed apart.

From very early on, their world is
defined in terms of winning and losing.

We ask them to perform spectacular feats
and to ignore their own pain.

But if they can't feel their own pain,
how can they possibly sense it,

respect it in others?

Robbie Richards is a natural athlete and
a winning public figure.

That is the man.

that Tara McDermott thought she was
taking a walk with. And that's why she

so confused when she found herself
confronted with another Robbie Richards,

man who ignored her pleading and so
violently forced himself on her. No

her confusion, a confusion not uncommon
among assault victims, delayed her

contacting the police.

She didn't want to believe that this all
-American boy

raped her.

But that's just what he did.

Robbie Richards didn't see Tyra
McDermott as a sexual partner. She was

opponent to be conquered.

And that's why he raped her.

It's your job.

Ladies and gentlemen, to tell Robbie
Richards that this time conquering the

opponent doesn't mean winning.

Game.

Ladies and gentlemen, are you willing to
say beyond a reasonable doubt that

Robbie Richards raped this young woman
because she said he did?

Even though after the alleged rape, she
went back to a party and didn't mention

the event to anyone, even though she
called the alleged rapist twice the next

day and waited for him to return her
phone calls, even though she did not go

the police or seek medical aid until
more than 12 hours had passed.

Now, in light of this evidence, one
could conclude that the only reason

prosecution has us here is because
Robbie Richards is a celebrity.

But if you stick to the facts, then you
must treat Robbie Richard like anyone

else.

You must find reasonable doubt.

You must find him not guilty.

Thanks.

Hello. Roxanne, thanks for coming.

I wasn't sure you would.

I really don't know what we have to say
to each other. I know this is

uncomfortable, but I wanted to clear the
air between us, and I thought this

might be the best way.

Coffee? Oh, sure.

There's nothing to clear.

I think there is.

Look, I admit I find Arnie very
attractive.

I'm aggressive, and what I set my sights
on, I usually get.

Thank you.

But I don't always consider the feelings
of those who get in my way.

I know there's no reason for you to
accept my apology, but I want to give it

anyway.

Well, that was very gracious of you. I
mean it.

I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.

Good.

And I promise you, what happened between
Arnie and me will never happen again.

Oh, what do you mean, what happened
between you? I'm not denying I enjoyed

reduction, but to tell you the truth,
I'm just too old -fashioned to get

involved with Arnie.

That's smart. I could never accept an
arrangement like the two of you have.

He told you we have an arrangement?

Look. What are you going to do with a
guy like him?

You'd be a fool to try to keep him on a
short leash.

Big fool.

Excuse me, do you know where the ladies'
room is?

Take your time.

J -6924, People v. Ruiz.

Counsel,

step forward.

Gentlemen, after my review of the
issues, I have decided to grant the

motion to suppress all evidence that was
obtained of Mr. Ruiz's... resident on

December the 12th. The admissibility of
this evidence is crucial to the people's

case. I agree.

It's got no probable cause. I move for a
dismissal, Your Honor. I'm forced to

agree with counsel, Mr. Handelman. If
any new evidence should come to light,

are free to refile.

Motion is granted and the case is
dismissed.

Your Honor?

Yes, what now, Mr. Handelman?

You're under arrest.

What the hell? Your Honor, you're
charged with violating penal code 368,

and receiving a bribe by a state
appointee.

I have done nothing wrong.

And whoever is responsible for this
outrage, I promise you, I will remain on

this bench, if only to make sure that
you never practice law again.

You have the right to remain silent.

We take the exchange of money and picked
up in trucker this morning.

They don't get much cleaner than this.

Looks like I owe you an apology.

You might as well go home.

I think the jury will be out for a
while.

After last night, I went back to the
beach.

I stood there, and I replayed the whole
thing in my head, thinking what you

would have thought if you'd have been
there, how it would have looked to you,

those people in the jury, or anyone else
but me.

Then I started thinking about other
girls that I've been with.

I guess I raped that girl, Miss Van
Owen.

I guess I raped a lot of them.

I really didn't get so screwed up.

But I know you're responsible for what
you've done.

I can get you names, Robbie.

People who can help you.

The jury's in.

So soon.

What's that mean?

Has the jury reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor. What say you?

In the matter of the people versus
Robert Richards on the charge of rape,

find the defendant not guilty.

Order! This court is still in session.

We thank the members of the jury for the
service.

Now we are adjourned.

Mr. Richards, you're free to go.

Too bad we didn't get to hear what your
boy had to say for himself.

The jury seemed to be satisfied.

That jury would have been satisfied with
an autograph and a handshake.

Sarah, I didn't get copied on the Hudson
report.

Oh, I'll get those out tomorrow.

I need mine tonight.

I can't do it now.

Stuart's still making copies.

Stuart's making copies, and you're going
home. I have a test tomorrow. He told

me. You were hired to do a job. Yeah,
and I would have finished it an hour ago

if he'd left me alone.

You know, Stuart went out of his way to
give you this job.

Hey, I didn't ask for it. Well, you
accepted it, and I think it's time for

to decide whether you want to do the
work or not. I'm trying. Try harder.

You know, he's not paying me to work.

He's paying me to be his instant
daughter.

Wait a minute.

You came here looking for your father.

You found a generous, good man who is
willing to give more than anyone I know.

Don't you dare take this job or anything
else from him unless you're willing to

give back.

Rox, you home?

What are you doing?

I'm moving out.

What? You screwed Julie Rayburn.

Rox, for God's sake, I told you we
didn't have sex.

Julie seemed to have a different
recollection of that evening.

Well, then she's lying because we didn't
do a thing. I fronted for you for 12

years.

I told Chrissy you were out of town when
I knew you were out with Lori. Wait a

second, wait a second. You talked to
Julie? I told Lori you were in Palm

when you were out with Annette.

I even covered for you when you were
cheating on your wife.

Don't play innocent with me. Your whole
life is a lie. I helped make it that

way.

But I told myself if we got involved, it
would be different.

It is different.

It is.

I've got what I need.

I'll tend for the rest.

Can I get you something?

No, no, thank you.

Robbie, I brought you a list of names,
counselors, that I think can help you.

Oh, yes, absolutely.

Thank you so much, Miss Van Owen.

We're going out on the road tomorrow,
but just as soon as I get back, I'll...

out to the wild game.

Me out to the crowd.

Bye.

Peanuts and fries.
