All language subtitles for LA Law s06e19 Silence of the Lambskins

Previously on L .A. Law. I want to see
Sam Perry. I'm Douglas Brockman. I

believe my son's an x -ray. One second,
please. As Sam's guardian, you need to

sign this authorization for medical
treatment.

Sir, your son is an unlicensed driver.

He was drinking underage, had an open
container in the vehicle, ran a red

He drove recklessly in order to avoid
arrest, and he crashed into a service

station. Now, you people may be
divorced, but if you don't figure out

fulfill your continuing obligation to
your son, you're going to lose him.

The judge isn't just going to consider
what happened with you and Alexander.

It's very likely that the whole question
about Benny's guardianship will come

up. I'm revoking Mr. Stolwitz's
temporary guardianship and committing

custody of the probation officer.

Can I take Sam home now?

No, Benny.

It's okay.

We haven't seen you around the office
much lately.

Well, the planning case was a real
backbreaker.

But my schedule looks pretty open for
the next couple of weeks.

Think you might be available?

I can't believe Alexander doesn't

want to see us.

I know he's angry, but we're his
parents. We always thought Alexander was

good son.

Must have been hard to live up to.

You're right.

Was the salmon not to your liking?

It's fine. I'm just not hungry.

And your veal?

Uh, I'm sure it's delicious, but, uh...
Could I bring you something else,

perhaps?

Just a check, please. Very well.

By the way, you look sensational.

That's sweet of you, Douglas.

For a change, right?

That's not what I meant.

But it's the truth.

We really put each other through a lot.

The infidelities, the counterinfidelity,
the backbiting, the name -calling, the

public tantrums. Want to hear something
strange?

Those fights in public always aroused me
sexually.

Really?

Still, somehow we managed to put
punishing each other ahead of everything

including our kids.

And I couldn't tell you why any of it
happened.

Maybe it's time we found out.

Yeah. It means we're going to have to be
honest with ourselves and honest with

each other and our kids.

That'll be a new experience for
everyone. I've been lonely, Sheila.

I miss my family.

Your waiter tells me you do not like the
cuisine.

No, we're just not hungry. If you are
not going to eat my food, which I have

carefully prepared, please don't
compound the insult by refusing to tell

Look, I don't want to argue about this.
You're Americans.

I don't want to argue. I'm not hungry.

If a Frenchman didn't like the food, he
would have the courage to spit it in my

face. Is that what you would like,
monsieur?

Would you like me to expectorate in your
face?

Qu 'est -ce que c 'est, expectorate?

That's it. Pay your bill and get out.
With pleasure, you self -important,

-straddling little escargot.

Douglas, you're making me hot.

I am.

Take me home.

Now. Not before you pay your bill. You
want me to pay your bill? I'll pay your

bill.

Let's get out of here.

What a morning. Did you see Mount Baldy?
It was crystal clear.

My, my, we're in a good mood this
morning. And why not? Life is good.

First up, Tommy Mullaney heads for Palm
Springs today. Rough life.

Hey, I ain't playing golf. I'm doing a
murder trial in Indio. Lust, greed, and

three -quarter of a million in missing
loot. I can't wait for the paperback.

only thing it doesn't have is the body.
You got a murder trial with no body?

You'll get him off easy.

Actually, I'm prosecuting. How's that?
The district attorney of Riverside

has hired Tommy as a special prosecutor.

He's an old pal. We did six years
together in the San Francisco DA's

his staff is pretty green, and this is
going to be tricky, so he asked me to

step in. Good luck.

Next, McConnell versus DeVries.

This is the May -December romance.

Yeah, more like May -December of next
year.

He's 41.

She's 72.

After they got married last year, he
took over her financial affairs, and now

her yuppie daughter is petitioning for
conservatorship of her $4 million

On what grounds? Well, the mother has
Alzheimer's. She's still compass

but there's no question that she will
need a conservator.

She wants it to be her husband. And
lastly, U .S. government versus Casanova

condoms. I turned that down three days
ago. Why is it still on the agenda?

I took it.

I think it's a very important case.

The U .S. Customs Service seized a
shipment of five million condoms that

shipped from Casanova's overseas
manufacturer.

They said they were obscene. Obscene
condoms? Yeah, the design features the

American flag.

This particular model is called the
Patriot. That's profane. Good Lord. I

it's okay to use as long as you fold it
after you take it off the pole. And

don't let it touch the ground.

It's okay to joke, but I think there's a
very important First Amendment issue

here. That's right. It's our flag, and
we should respect it.

Wherever it's hung, so to speak.

Before this degenerates any further,
we're adjourned.

Hi.

Hi. I had a great time Saturday.

So did I.

Are you busy tonight?

Big Daddy's playing in Santa Monica. I
can be coerced.

Good. Pick you up at seven.

Big Daddy?

50s retro group. They're great.

So is this getting serious?

Oh, serious isn't the word for Frank.

He might look like the angel of death,
but he's actually got a pretty wonky

sense of humor.

You didn't answer the question.

No, it's not serious.

Serious gets messy.

Relax. I'm a big girl.

I know what I'm doing.

No, Customs Inspector Dodek isn't
exactly flexible in this issue.

Not only was he a Korean War veteran,
but his uncle helped raise the flag on

Jima. Oh, this is a disaster.

I'm six weeks behind on delivery, and my
entire stock, five million Patriots, is

stuck in some government warehouse.

If I don't move them soon, I'm out of
business.

Don, I'm confident we're going to win
this thing. Now, the hearing on the

preliminary injunctions the day after
tomorrow, you could be shipping the

following day.

You'd think with all the problems in the
world today, AIDS, teen pregnancy,

they'd be more concerned with those than
what's on a rubber.

You want to hear something ironic?

What's that?

It's the best damn sheath I ever made.
And I'm not just talking visual impact.

The stars, they're raised ever so
slightly for the added stimulation of

female partner. The stripes, triple
ribbed, maximum pleasure.

No kidding. I guess this puts the kibosh
on my Lady Liberty model.

The torch forms a reservoir in the tip.

Miss McConnell, you never approved of
your mother's new husband, did you? If

that you mean I've never believed he was
really in love with her, you're right.

What do you know about love?

You've been divorced three times.

Marion, please, let me handle this.
Charlie, maybe you shouldn't be here. It

upsets you so.

No, if she's going to make accusations,
she makes them to my face.

What exactly did Mr. DeVries do to make
you feel this way? For starters, he

fired her business manager of 30 years
and replaced him with his. Then they

reinvested all her blue -chip stock in
unstable commodities.

It's her money, isn't it? My father
worked very hard for that money, Mr.

and she's letting that gigolo throw it
away. Don't you talk about my husband

that way.

Why is it so hard for you to accept? And
any money she loses is less money for

you to inherit. Isn't that what's really
bothering you, Ms. McConnell?

No, it's not even in my will anymore.

This is the only way she can get to my
money. Mrs. McCollum would have no claim

to your money as conservator. She is
simply trying to protect your own

interests. For God's sake, Mother, can't
you see through him? Are you so far

gone you can't see what he is? I was so
lonely after your father died.

I heard from you and your brother once,
twice a month.

Roger is with me every morning when I
wake up and at night when I go to bed.

Maybe someday you'll understand how
something so simple can mean so much.

Six months I've been busting and
prepping this case, and in two seconds

midnight, Howie calls his old drinking
buddy and makes me second chair.

No, I'm serious.

Worse, I have to share my office with
this schmo.

Viv, I'll call you back.

Tommy Mullaney?

Mm -hmm.

But Schmoe's fine.

Marsha Traficante?

Gone over the files you sent?

I'm ready to go.

Look, about the... This is my first
murder. I'm kind of attached to it. Hey,

Howie says you're his top gun, but
you've only been at this, what, three

Almost. Took me five before I did my
first murder.

Second chairing should be a good
experience for you.

First would be better?

Not if you aren't ready.

Oh, you're not planning on doing that
here?

I guess not.

On December 12th of last year, Gary
Lowry received a phone call from his

Donna, telling him that she'd be working
late at the bank where she was employed

as head teller.

working with this man, Ronald Price, the
branch manager.

Donna Lowry has not been seen since.

Traces of her blood were found in Ronald
Price's car, and there were other signs

of foul play. But Donna's body was never
found.

That's because Ronald Price made sure
Donna's body never would be found. That

was the key to his plan.

For on the same night Ronald Price
killed Donna Lowry, He also stole $750

,000 from the bank where they both
worked. He thought if he hid her body

enough, it would look like she ran off
with the money.

But Ronald learned that murder is a
messy business.

It's hard to kill someone and not leave
evidence of your crime.

In the next few days, you'll hear that
evidence, and after you do...

you'll find that that man is a ruthless,
cold -blooded killer and that he

murdered Donna Lowry.

There was a plan to steal $750 ,000 from
the Bank of Palm Springs.

Donna Lowry's plan.

She used her position as head teller and
her considerable wiles to entrap Ronald

Price and set him up for her crime. She
stole that money.

And then to escape suspicion, She faked
her own death.

That's why no body was ever found,
because Donna Lowry is still alive and

no doubt living very well.

The prosecution's case is entirely
circumstantial, as you'll discover. And

that becomes apparent, I'm confident
there is no way you can find my client

guilty of a murder he didn't commit.

Oh, God, Arnie's going to pitch a fit.

He wanted me in early today.

He's really running you ragged with the
McConnell case, isn't he? You don't know

the half of it.

I'd guess there's more to a 40 -year
-old guy married to an old lady than

the eye.

He'd be right.

I found a letter he wrote to Marion
dated six months ago.

What kind of letter? It was an apology.

Seems old Roger, in an effort to prop up
a failing business, borrowed some money

from one of his wife's accounts without
her knowledge.

Have you seen my stockings?

They were under the nightstand.

So, how much did this guy embezzle?

Oh,

50 ,000.

He was in New York when she found out,
and he wrote her this letter, promised

never to do it again, and she forgave
him. Sounds like a real sleaze. Try

telling that to Marion.

She says the incident is over and done
with and has nothing to do with her

future interests.

I don't suppose the judge would agree.

So aren't he sitting on the ladder?

I know. I don't like it either.

What can he do?

I mean, what would you do?

Probably the same thing.

I'm fine.

The world isn't going to end if you're a
little bit late.

Detective Nagy, you were called to this
scene when Ronald Price was found in his

car the night Donna Lowry disappeared?

Yes. He was parked on the old foothill
road about ten miles from town.

He was in the driver's seat and appeared
to be asleep.

Was there anything unusual about Mr.
Price's appearance?

He was pretty beat up. There were
scratches across his face and neck like

been in a struggle, and there was a deep
bite wound on his right arm. The same

bite wound that forensic dental reports
say matched the pattern of Donna Lowry's

teeth. Yes. Did you find any evidence of
a struggle in the car?

Yes, I found three spots of fresh blood
on the head cushion of the passenger

seat. And did subsequent DNA tests
stipulated to by the defense indicate

blood this was?

Yes, it was Donald Lowry's blood.

Detective, you subsequently investigated
the theft of $750 ,000 from the bank

where both Mr. Price and Mrs. Lowry
worked. Mm -hmm. Did you come up with

suspects? We believe it was an inside
job. Other employees had access to the

vault, but they all checked out.

Except for Ronald Price and Donald
Lowry. And in your opinion, is Donald

viable suspect? Objection. The witness's
opinion is irrelevant.

Overruled. The witness may answer the
question.

No. In my opinion, Donald Lowry is dead.

Nothing further.

Detective, ever find any of that stolen
money?

Not yet.

And you have no body.

How about a murder weapon?

No, but the investigation isn't...
Detective, you testify that you found

Price unconscious.

Didn't a drug test later reveal that he
had traces of the sedative diazepam in

his body?

That's correct.

And didn't you find an empty beer can in
his car that also had traces of

diazepam in it? Yes, I did. Isn't it
true that Donna Lowry had a prescription

for that same sedative?

We believe he drugged himself.

But Donna Lowry could have drugged him,
couldn't she? She could have staged this

entire scene to incriminate him.

It's possible.

Like one in a million. Detective, when
Mr.

Price regained consciousness, did he say
anything to you?

He said she stole my key.

Isn't it true that Mr. Price kept the
only copy of the key needed to enter the

vault area? And this key was indeed
missing? He didn't have the key on him,

that doesn't mean... Has this key ever
been recovered? That doesn't mean

anything. He could have disposed of it
along with a body. Thank you, Detective.

Nothing further.

How you doing? All right.

This is Paul Gimbel, one of the mayor's
special aides, Jonathan Rollins.

Pleasure to meet you, Jonathan.
Pleasure's mine.

Have a seat.

So what's up, Naomi?

What's this all about? Campaign
contributions?

In a way.

Yeah.

Did you ever meet Art Middleman?

No, I never met him. The councilman who
dropped dead of a heart attack.

That's the one. I'm in his district. I
only know him by reputation, but I

admired him. The city council still
needs to appoint someone to fill out

term, and to maintain the minority
balance on the council, they'd prefer

black to fill Art's shoes.

Have you talked to Howard Gabriel or
John Peary?

No. But we are talking to you.

Excuse me? You made quite a splash when
you sued the LAPD last year.

I settled that case, Naomi. Exactly.

You were a tough critic, but not a
fanatic. You can't be serious. It's a

-month term.

We need someone with a conscience,
someone that's responsive to the needs

community. And if you like, Art's seat
comes up for re -election in the fall.

Then you can run in your own right. I
have absolutely no legislative

Come on, you know that. Neither did Art
when he ran for his first seat back in

69. He was just a small businessman, no
political experience at all.

But he had guts, he had savvy.

And most of all, he had a heart.

Like you, we hope.

Jonathan, you can have a real future in
this town.

We want to help you realize it.

Benny!

I thought you were going to lunch.

I don't feel like it. But it's a
beautiful day. Take advantage of it.

Did you go visit Sam this weekend?

I got him in a house with a lot of other
kids. He doesn't even have his own

bedroom. I'm sure they're taking
excellent care of him.

I know it hurts, Benny. All I can tell
you is someday it'll hurt less.

I don't want it to.

Well, I'm afraid it does, whether we
want it to or not.

You don't hurt now like you did when
your mother died, do you?

No. We all lose people, Benny.

But if we're lucky, we find others.

They're not replacements, just
additions.

I don't want to stop missing Sam.

You won't.

You'll just learn to live with it.

Mr.

Lowry, when was this picture of your
wife taken?

Last summer, on a vacation in Hawaii.

So it was around the same time that
Donna started to get harassing phone

from Ronald Price.

Yes. He'd call at all hours.

He was obsessed with the idea of having
a relationship with her. Donna got so

scared she was afraid to pick up the
phone.

Well, did you and Donna press charges
against Mr. Price?

We threatened to, but he promised to
stop calling and begged us not to tell

anyone.

He said it would ruin his career.

That's why he killed her, because she
rejected him.

Objection. Move to strike. Mr. Lowry,
the jury will disregard that last

statement. Just one more question, Mr.
Lowry.

When was the last time you spoke to
Donna?

It was about 6 o 'clock.

On the night she... She disappeared.

She called to tell me she'd be working
late at the bank.

With him.

She wasn't happy about it.

Thank you.

Nothing further.

From your description, I can see how
your wife would be traumatized by those

phone calls.

Such a sweet, innocent girl.

Mr. Lowry, do you recognize this picture
of your wife?

When you first met Donna, she was a
stripper at a club you owned, wasn't

That was a long time ago. To your
knowledge, how many affairs did your

have? I don't know.

Couple? Oh, there were more than a
couple, weren't there?

A bartender at your restaurant, your ex
-business partner, a neighbor.

Donna picked men up all the time, didn't
she? No, she wasn't like that. Didn't

she state publicly she wanted a divorce?

That was just talk.

We had a fight. Oh, come on. Your
marriage was a sham, wasn't it?

She thought you were a loser and she
wanted out.

No. We had our problems, yes.

But my wife loved me.

And I loved her. Maybe.

Or maybe she's off on some beach with a
new boyfriend and $750 ,000. Objection.

Withdrawn. No further questions.

How could you not know she was a
stripper? Larry told me she was a

would he lie? The employment record's
checked out. Well, you have to dig a

little. You have to ask the right
questions. What do you want me to do?

of waiting for something to happen, make
it happen. Maybe Price bought a shovel.

Maybe he bought a gun. Dig deeper.

Find something.

Thanks for that tip. You're welcome.

Mr.

Price, why did you make those phone
calls to Donna Lowry last year?

I was obsessed with her.

We'd been having an affair.

How long had this affair lasted?

Three wonderful weeks.

Then she called it off. I didn't want to
let go. You see, Donna knew the power

that she had over me. That's why I was
the perfect sap for her plan.

That's opinion up, back, move to strike.

Motion granted.

What happened on the night she
disappeared?

We both worked late, as we often did.

After the other employees left, Donna
asked me if I wanted to go for a drive.

couldn't believe she was being so
friendly. So?

You went for a drive together in your
car? Yes, but before we left, she took a

couple cans of beer from a cooler that
she had in the trunk of her car.

Once we were driving, she began to kiss
me and touch me.

Where did you drive to? She suggested
the old Foothill Road. She said we'd

lots of privacy there.

On the way, we drank the beer. I
remember thinking that mine tasted

Donna insisted that I finish it.

What happened next?

We got there.

and we made love, Donna's way,
furiously.

She raked her fingernails across my neck
and face, and I remember noticing that

her lip was bleeding. At one point, she
bit me on the arm, and she wouldn't let

go. I screamed, but the pain was

delicious.

Now I realize she was just setting me
up. What happened after? I guess I

out because the next thing I remember,
the police were there and Donna and my

vault key were gone.

Thank you.

Nothing further.

To your knowledge, does anybody else
know about this supposed affair with

Lowry? Not that I'm aware of. So Donna's
the only one who could confirm if it

ever existed.

But she's not exactly available, is she?
No, she's not.

Did you buy a three and a half by two
foot trunk two weeks before Donna

disappeared? What? Your Honor, we have
just located a shopkeeper in 29 Palms

can verify the sale. I've got her sworn
affidavit and the sales receipt.

Objection. This is hearsay and none of
it has been authenticated.

I'm going to allow it. Your Honor.

Overruled, counsel.

I want to see where this goes.

Did you buy the trunk Ronald?

Yes.

I was planning on storing some old
clothes in it. What happened to it?

It was stolen.

From my car.

Did you report it to the police? I
didn't want to bother.

Isn't the real reason you got that trunk
so you could bury Donna Lowry in it?

No. It was quite a plan, Ronald. What'd
you do?

Force her into the car at gunpoint? No!
Driving out into the desert, she had to

know she was going to die. Your Honor!
So she fought back and you had to kill

her in the car. And it might have
worked, Ronald, if she hadn't bled on

seat and taken that chunk out of your
arm. Mr. Mulaney, that's enough!

I'm done.

Nice job on the cross.

Nice job with the trunk. Thank you.
You're welcome.

Mr. Dodick, on March 13th of this year,
acting in your capacity as customs

inspector for the Port of Los Angeles,
you examined a shipment of these so

-called Patriot condoms?

Correct. Is this what you saw when you
opened one of the packages?

Yes.

Your Honor, I'd like to enter this
Patriot condom as respondent's exhibit

So entered.

Inspector Dodek, you determined these
condoms were obscene? Yes. To put the

flag, our national emblem, onto a
prophylactic device such as this is an

to every decent citizen.

And because of its obscene nature, you
confiscated the shipment?

That's right. Standard procedure with
materials such as this. Thank you. I

nothing further.

Inspector Dodek.

Federal obscenity laws make no mention
of the American flag, do they? You don't

need a book of statutes to see that
putting a flag on a condom is a

Are you aware the Supreme Court has
ruled that insulting the American flag

not a crime?

Objection. Irrelevant. The Supreme Court
decision was limited to burning or

desecrating the flag.

Your Honor, if it's okay to burn it, one
can reasonably argue it's okay to

ejaculate into it. You've got to be
kidding.

Same principle. The Supreme Court was
dealing with criminal statutes, not with

the importation of obscene material.

Objection. sustained inspector we
realize this can be offensive to some

but there is a deeper a more

Penetrating, if you will, issue here.
Freedom of expression is guaranteed

the First Amendment to the Constitution.
Isn't that right, Inspector?

Objection! How does wearing the flag on
a man's genitalia constitute free

expression? It's not like he was hanging
it out his window on Veterans Day. But

if he were hanging it out his window on
Veterans Day, that would be free speech.

Is that what you're saying? That's not
what I said.

Objection calls for a legal conclusion.

Sustained. And what about Mr. Butcher?
Did it ever occur to you that putting

American flag on a condom is his way of
being patriotic? That's right. Mr.

Butcher. No, it's vulgar. Is it
possible, Inspector?

I suppose anything is possible, but...
Then this confiscation is a violation of

his freedom of speech, isn't it? We're
talking about rubbers here, for God's

sake. Yes or no, Inspector. If this
prophylactic is an expression of Mr.

Butcher's patriotism, isn't it possible
that it's a violation of his First

Amendment right?

I suppose so.

God bless America.

Quiet!

Are you done, Counselor? Yes. Yes, I am.

Inspector, you may step down.

This is the most perverse proceeding
that I've ever witnessed.

But while I find this product to be
thoroughly repugnant, there is no law

prohibits its importation or sale.
Therefore, I order it to be permitted

the country. Your Honor, I request you
stay your ruling pending an emergency

appeal to the Ninth Circuit.

All right.

I'll give you 30 days. 30 days? I can't
wait 30 days.

Objection, Your Honor. This is a
stalling tactic, one that can cost my

his business.

Put a sheath on it, Counselor.

This court is adjourned.

I know this isn't what you want to hear,
Jonathan.

But adding partners to an already top
-heavy firm simply makes no sense at the

moment.

Yeah. I figured as much.

Have you been approached by another
firm?

No.

Actually, I've been approached about
filling out the city council term of Art

Middleman. Really?

Well, that's wonderful, Jonathan.

I haven't decided yet whether to take
it. I wanted to explore all my options.

Sure, sure. I understand.

You know, there have been so many
changes here this past year, but I never

thought you'd be one of them.

You're a valued member of this firm,
Jonathan.

We'd be... I'd be very sorry to see you
go.

Thank you.

But an opportunity like this doesn't
come along every day. And if you do

to take it, no one would be happier for
you.

No one could be prouder of you than
Mackenzie Brackman.

Thanks, Cleveland.

I'll let you know what I decide.

In my office, now.

Damn it, Gwyn. I thought I told you to
be discreet. About what?

A subpoena.

For the Roger DeVries letter?

About his misappropriation of funds?

How in the hell did they find out about
this?

Not from me.

Well, it wasn't from me either. I never
wrote anything down. I even coded the

file to be safe, and I didn't discuss
this with anyone.

What is it?

Did you tell someone? No.

Nobody.

You son of a bitch.

What? Arnie's case just blew up. The
other side subpoenaed that letter, and

the judge sees it, he's bound to rule in
favor of the daughter. So why are you

yelling at me? Because you told them.

What? Yesterday, I tell you something
that no one but Arnie and I know, and

next day, it's suddenly in possession of
opposing counsel. You tell me, Frank,

what else am I supposed to think? This
is demented.

Even if I had reason, which I don't, I
would never take information.

Arnie's had this case pending for
months. Is that why you cozied up to me

you started dating me? Yes.

And I'm a money launderer for BCCI, too.

Listen to yourself. You sound like
Oliver Stone.

Then you tell me how they found out
about the letter, Frank.

Maybe the husband kept a copy.

Maybe it was on disk and someone
discovered it by accident.

You know what this sounds like to me?

No, what?

Like you're scared.

Like you let yourself get a little too
close after pushing men away for so

Don't change the subject. You are only
too eager to think the worst of me so

can walk away from this relationship
without guilt.

Relationship.

Don't flatter yourself. We had sex.

We didn't bond for life.

So you're not feeling crowded then? The
other night, that wasn't intimacy. That

was just a romp. Is that what you're
saying? Go to hell.

Well, thanks so much. And the gentleman
you saw opening the show... Yeah.

His name is Ian. I'm coming.

I'm coming.

Marsha. I came to get you.

Nobody called? No.

What's going on?

Donna Larry's husband found a package in
his doorstep tonight. He brought it to

police about an hour ago.

What sort of package?

One with $10 ,000 in it.

Part of the stolen money the serial
numbers match.

I've got Larry waiting in my office.

Do you mind?

Always if I care.

When I saw the money, my head started
spinning.

I thought, my God, maybe Donna's alive.

Then I realized, if she was alive, she
was still out of my life.

Only it felt even worse than before.

You didn't find a note? No handwriting
on the package?

No. You really think she could be alive,
Gary?

Well, I don't know.

Maybe.

What do you think?

I think that we're done here.

You can go home now.

I did the right thing, didn't I?

Is this a great mind at work, or are you
just having a nicotine fit?

This is too convenient.

Price had to have sent that money.

He knows we've got to turn it over to
the other side. He's trying to create

enough reasonable doubt to get off.

That's true. He'd need help. He's locked
up. Which means he had an accomplice.

Probably somebody who was in it from the
start.

You know, I got this theory.

Guys who do murder aren't exactly rocket
scientists.

Wow. Where's a pencil? Let me write that
down.

Hey.

All I'm saying is that we are smarter
than them. We should be able to figure

this out. If we don't, price walks.

You know when you mentioned an
accomplice that fleshed on Price's

The fact that there were no signs of
dirt?

Maybe he had some help with the body.

What kind of budget does your office
have?

Pretty comfortable. Why?

It's a long shot.

You're probably gonna laugh.

Hey, I saw you in your boxer shorts.

What could be funnier?

Do you want to hear this or not?

Sorry.

Go ahead.

What if it's a setup?

Hi, Don.

Hi. I just dropped by to tell you to
quit fighting the appeal.

Why? We've got every chance of winning
this thing. Yeah, well, it doesn't

anymore. I'm pulling out of the U .S.
market. Some flag -hugging group heard

about the Patriots, and they started to
threaten to boycott anyone who sells

them. I lost two big drugstore chains in
two hours. Yeah, but they're still the

principal. I ain't got time for
principals. I got to get down to the

supervise the loading of my condoms.

Customs is letting me ship them as long
as they go someplace else.

Where? Japan.

Last month I shipped a few thousand
patriots to Tokyo. You know, test the

waters. Now I got orders coming out of
my ears.

Kind of gives new meaning to the phrase
rising sun, doesn't it?

That's great.

What you said in the courtroom about
being an American, it was beautiful.

I want you to have this.

Six -pack Patriots.

Thanks.

Enjoy.

Sorry to interrupt your lunch.

No problem.

What's up? We just need you to look at
something.

Please.

This is the security video from a bank
in Honolulu.

We've taken two days ago.

Yeah? Watch closely.

Gary?

Is that your wife?

It can't be. Are you sure?

Is it her, Gary? Well, I... I don't
know. Could it be?

Maybe.

Turn it off.

Gary.

Level with me. Is there any chance that
Donna and Price might be in this

together? No.

No. Okay.

Thanks for coming down.

Well... He looks like he just saw a
ghost.

It's me.

Lowry just left.

Well, the salary's negligible compared
to what I make at McKenzie Brackman,

you know, if I ever decide to go back
into private practice, I can command a

hell of a lot more.

Jonathan, I didn't know you had any
political aspirations at all.

No, no, Zoe.

At Harvard, I was one of the editors of
the Law Review.

I'd won the Ames competition.

Before I even graduated, I had job
offers from a half a dozen law firms.

I mean, I was hot.

And now five years later, I'm not saying
I'm cold.

This isn't where I thought I'd be by
now.

Jonathan, what happens to you and me if
you take this job?

What do you mean?

Well, look at me. I'm hardly the kind of
girlfriend who's likely to do a black

politician any good.

That's ridiculous.

That shouldn't matter. It shouldn't, but
it will. Well, I won't let it matter.

Last week you told me I wasn't being
realistic about Howard Grady.

Now who's being unrealistic?

Hazel?

What would you say if I told you that I
want to take this job?

I'd say I want you to do what makes you
happy.

I mean that.

Robo, check out his car.

Jackson, let's see what Mr. Lowry's been
digging for. Come to see whose body you

buried? It was you and Price, wasn't it,
Gary, from the start?

What about the video?

An actress.

You ought to wonder who or what was in
the trunk Price gave you to bury.

Is this your wife's necklace?

Gary, if you'll testify against Price,
we can make it easier on you.

I want to talk to my lawyer.

Read him his rights.

So he paid your fee in rubber?

What's the difference between a tire and
365 condoms?

I give up. Well, one is a good year, and
the other is a great year.

I think we should try one of these. It
might be fun.

Honey, technically, that stuff is still
contraband.

Well, that makes it even more thrilling.

No, no, no, no, no.

I've never been one to wrap myself in a
flag.

Oh, look at this.

Oh, my God.

Oh, I have a strong desire to salute it.

Well,

I have a stronger desire to give you my
unbending allegiance.

Marsha. Good news.

Come on in.

Gary Lowery planned out he's going to
testify against Price. You turned him

around already.

I told him if he didn't talk, we'd go
for the death penalty.

That can work.

You know, I almost felt sorry for him.
Donna's cheating drove him nuts.

Because that's how Price sucked him in.
They'd both been rejected by her. They

both wanted revenge.

And he didn't mind the money, either.

Congratulations.

Well, you know, I was only second year.

Not after this.

Um, what's in the bag?

Beer. I thought you might want to help
me celebrate.

Not unless... You're too busy. No.

I just thought you might be sick of my
face by now.

So did I.

But I decided it's not such a bad face.

You sure know how to charm a guy.

So should we go somewhere?

I mean, you don't want to sit around my
motel room drinking beer, do you?

I don't know.

Sounds like it could have possibilities.

Hello? Frank?

Gwen? I hope I'm not calling too late.

No.

No? What are you doing up so late?

I'm just trying to study.

Frank, um, I want to apologize.

For yesterday, you were right.

There are dozens of ways I could have
found out about that letter. I went off

half -cocked. Seemed fully cocked to me.
I still have the power to pronounce.

I also wanted to tell you that you were
right about something else.

It's been a long time since I've let
myself get close to anyone.

And I have to work on that, I know.

But in the meantime, I am so sorry.

Never happened.

Thanks.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah, of course.

Go get some sleep.

Bye.

Bye.

Who was that?

Just a friend.
