Can you believe it?

We're at it again.

The house freaks.

It's Sunday, and you know how I know it?
Not because we got to sleep late.

Not because we went to church.

No, I know it's Sunday because we're out
house hunting.

Again. Okay, honey, we want to go right
on Allegheny.

Right? Yep.

Right. Okay.

I lost my spot on the softball team.

I lost my stool down at the happy hour
bar.

My brother doesn't even know me anymore.

Kevin, listen to this one.

Four bedrooms, living room, dining room,
den, rec room, two full bathrooms,

A full bathroom downstairs.

That's so when you come home from work,
you just go right in the house and...

And then you go right in the bathroom
and you take a shower and you don't have

to run upstairs.

Yeah, and you can run in with your
clothes on.

Yeah. Yeah.

How much is it?

Piece of cake.

Big piece of cake.

I know.

Hey, I'll see you inside.

How's it going?

I want to go into this building with
you. Here. Whoa, whoa. Wait a minute.

What about our dream house?

Forget it.

Kevin, how long have you been here?

A couple hours. Yeah.

Hey, you want to play? No, I don't want
to play. Sit down here, okay?

Who's dancing with Michael?

What, is he buying?

He is.

Where'd you get the money?

You gave him, didn't you?

Hey. How much?

Hey.

How much?

Twenty dollars.

Come on, he's my brother. Yeah, and he's
got your number.

Hey, enough of that.

I make the money, spend on what I like,
and we're putting plenty away.

What was she doing there?

Look at me. I can't stop shaking.

Can't stop shaking.

Sure, somebody call the cops and they'll
take care of it.

What are we gonna do?

I gotta go to work.

Kevin, we gotta do something.

Hi.

They never came.

Lucky, huh?

Luck?

You mean nobody called them?

Nothing happened.

Don't you know what you did?

No, no.

No.

After they let us out, it didn't go on
for long.

They were feeding her scotch.

He says... He says they cleaned her all
up and they didn't leave a trace.

They took her down to Northern and
dropped her off across from the

No one called the cops?

No.

He says that her name is Patty.

Think she'll go to the police?

I don't know.

We'll wait and see.

Attention shoppers, for your
convenience, check stand 10 is now open

You mad at me?

Me? No.

No.

Well, you've been ducking me. Three days
you're not here at lunchtimes, I call

you at home and there's no answer.

Am I wearing the wrong deodorant? Jean.

Look, lunchtimes, uh, I have errands.

I'm sorry, I should have called. I've
been in and out at home.

You look terrible.

Thank you. Nice to hear.

Everything all right at home?

Fine.

You pregnant?

Meaning no.

Meaning no. Look, Jeannie, if I get
pregnant, you'll be the first to know.

We're still trying. I'm still taking the
pills. What else is new?

Police came to her house last night.

I could see Michael. Ma really freaked.

She never had the police at her house,
you know.

What'd they want?

Something about some girl over at the
happy hour on Friday.

Michael told them nothing happened.

Nothing happened, right?

He said you were there.

Nothing happened, right?

Right.

Want me to join you for lunch?

Oh, I have a doctor's appointment.

I'll see you later.

Annie, we've done enough of that.

No, I haven't.

I'm not finished yet.

Finish it later.

No, I promised myself I was going to
finish this today, and I am.

Let me help.

Help? That's not helpful. No, I'm not.
No, no. Come on. I'm almost finished.

I'm almost finished.

Down strokes.

I don't like this brush.

I don't like it. Come on. No, give it. I
know your tricks, Kevin.

Okay, look. Give me the brush. Give me
the brush.

Okay,

fine. Fine. Fine.

Kevin,

we have company.

Excuse me. Mr. Dunn. Mrs. Dunn.

I'm Detective Jackson.

This is Detective Leggy.

We'd like to talk with you. May we come
in?

Uh, no.

I don't think so.

About an incident at the Happy Hour
Tavern last Friday.

I don't know anything about it.

Were you there last Friday?

There was a lot of people there. Why
don't you talk to them?

We have.

Well, if you got them, what do you need
us for?

Just to corroborate it. Come down to the
station.

Make a statement.

Well, do we have to?

Legally?

Legally. No, not legally.

Then no, I don't think so.

You know, when this hits the media, I'm
talking big.

You might want our help.

Help with your privacy, that kind of
thing.

I... I got nothing to say. Nothing.

This is the picture of the victim.

Do you recognize her?

Her name is Patty Mullen.

Look, leave her alone, all right?

Oh, through with them.

Nate, come on. It's Sunday. It's our
day.

Nate.

It's going to be all right.

It's just another one of those things.

This is bad.

Yeah, but do we stop living?

I mean, we've been through bad things
with Alma and trying to have a baby.

Hmm?

We didn't stop living.

But nothing like the... No.

You want me to sing to you?

I can sing to you.

Oh, Danny boy.

The pipes, the pipes are calling.

I give, I give.

I give, I give, okay? Only one thing.
What? Do what I want.

No, we got to do what I want. No, we do
what I want.

All right.

But I don't want to go looking for no
houses.

All right.

Okay, okay, okay.

But we do what I want to do.

Okay.

Hello?

Annie? Jeannie, what's up?

I'm at the police station. Please come
down now.

Yeah, right away.

Kevin, wake up. We've got to go to the
police station. Wake up!

We have to go to the police station.

Gene, he's in a line -up. They've got
some girl looking at him. Why, on a

Sunday? He wanted to go to get it over
with. It's okay, it's okay. It's so

crazy. The kids were up when they saw
the cops. I'm sorry. It's okay, it's

What's this all about?

Well, we've got a rape.

Oh, God.

What is that?

Why is he in cuffs?

It's all right, hon. I'm okay.

He didn't do anything.

We're just going to book him,
sweetheart.

Book? Is he going to jail? Just for the
night. I'm okay.

Kevin, get me Bill.

Hey, I'm going to call Bill.

He can get you a lawyer.

It's not going to let us go.

It's not going to let us go.

The thing's got witnesses, remember?

We're out of it. Who have they got?

They got us, the guys, her, and Dom.

Dom? Dom. Dom's like family.

If he thinks, he blows his business.

Then who?

The two guys at the bar.

Caputo and the other guy.

They skipped out early. What did they
see?

They saw enough to split?

Joey's out of town.

Oh?

Yeah, I called him. Then I called his
folks.

Why?

Because I wanted to see if he was one of
their witnesses.

I'm sure you weren't looking for a
little date.

Kevin. An old boyfriend.

He was never my boyfriend.

A reunion with Joey. Kevin.

It must be Joey and that other guy.

It's gotta be.

There is no excuse that makes it right,
Michael.

Well, you don't even know what she was
doing. What was she doing?

Well, she was saying things like, I
ain't been with Amanda for months. She

that? Yeah.

And it was no problem until Lou started
talking dirty.

I mean, Louie's really weird when he
drinks.

Anyway, so she's starting to catch you,
and all of a sudden it's like she's

getting funny and talking about leaving.

Well, the next thing I know, Louie's got
her down on the floor, and we're all

laughing. She said no.

Well, is it the first time that no meant
yes?

Then why the knife?

I was kidding.

Bull! We were there, Michael.

We know you were there.

Kevin, it's a public park. Leave him
alone.

Attention, shoppers. We have a special
sale today on Pittsburgh Spring Water

the next 15 minutes.

99 cents a gallon at aisle four.

You here?

If you'd just talk to us.

You've come to my job, but we just want
to talk to you.

I have nothing to say. Talk to my
husband.

But you were there too, Mrs. Dunst.

Look, just leave me alone.

If you've got the two guys, you don't
need me. Those are your two witnesses.

What do you want with me?

Two guys?

What two guys?

The two who ran out.

They don't have him.

From the looks on their faces, they
don't even have a clue about him.

They got the girl and they got us.

That's why they've been after us. That's
why they're following us. Kevin, we are

all they've got. No!

How do you know it isn't bugged?

And the car, too.

Hell, I feel them everywhere.

Stop it.

Look, it's like a war.

To survive, you gotta do something bad.

We gotta go with Michael and them. But
you saw it.

We both just stood by and watched. How
can you live with that and pretend it

didn't happen? No. How can you live with
that lie that we're through?

We're going to forget it. We're going to
forget it. We're going to go on and

we're going to have a normal life. No,
we have to tell the truth.

It's my brother. He did it. He's fake.

Yes? Um, I'm the one who called.

Come in.

Hi.

Hi.

Thank you.

You're at the police station, right?

Yeah.

You went to Sisters of Hope High?

I never finished.

My sister went there.

She graduated in 78, Mary Albuquerque.
Before my time.

I went to regular high school. Mitchell.
I was going to go to Sisters of Hope,

but my mother got sick, so it didn't
work out.

My boyfriend went to Mitchell.

Ronnie Tormino.

It was a long time ago.

How you doing?

You okay?

No.

I don't know.

I don't know why I came. I guess I
just... I'm glad you did.

I've got to tell you something.

I'm an alcoholic.

And I've got a bad history.

I have booze and I black out.

I can't remember.

I think I saw you there.

Were you there?

Yeah, I was.

I wasn't sure.

I can remember those guys, but not the
place.

Don't you remember it happening?

Lashes.

But you saw it.

Yes, I saw it.

I'm so sorry.

I wish there was something I could have
done.

What could you do?

My brother -in -law is one of the guys.

I wasn't going to press charges.

But I had this attempted suicide.

I go to a therapy group.

And they said that I should do something
about it.

Stand up for my rights.

I understand.

You ever been to court?

No.

I have.

Stayed at St.

Blaise's shelter for a while, sitting,
you know.

The girl got mugged, and I saw the guy
leave in the building, so I

had to testify.

His lawyer was really mean.

I kept asking all these confusing
questions.

I'm just trying to live.

Your husband looks like a nice guy.

Is he nice?

Yeah.

I'm lucky.

What does he do?

He's a garbage man.

That's funny.

Somebody has to get the garbage.

I know.

Figure. You part of that case?

Well, uh, yes and no.

I really just came by to see how she is.

I'm worried about you. We were standing
here an hour.

Finally, a champagne.

Oh, I'm sorry. I had a dentist
appointment.

Well, we're not going to open all the
gifts now.

Because we're too hungry.

I want to give you one.

Here, open it.

$3 ,000.

Read the card.

Toward the house of your dreams.

From your loving family.

From the Dungs.

The Dungs.

And your dad sent them and Phil, Mary,
and Diane.

What is this?

What is this?

A bribe to make me forget?

Well, I won't, ever.

Well, uh, I guess the bar got a
little... Overcome.

Right. So she had to take a walk.

But there's plenty of food and, uh,
drinks.

So please, help yourself.

Morning. Ain't it gorgeous?

How are you doing?

I'm fine.

I haven't seen you for over a week.

I thought maybe you went right on
walking.

Look, Ma, I'm really sorry about that.
Don't be foolish.

I understand.

You want to come?

Where are you going?

For a walk.

Oh, I don't know. Come on. Well, I got
the wash and I... The wash don't need

you.

Please?

I need to talk.

You know, you live your whole life and
think nothing of it until something like

this strikes.

And the world comes down on you.
Everything turns bad.

And as much as we Irish love our
tragedies, too much is enough for us,

for that poor girl, so troubled and
alone.

I mean, how lonely she must have been to
go into a strange bar in the middle of

the afternoon. To go in alone, I mean.

For all you women's lives.

It's hard for a girl to go into a bar by
herself.

I think about her.

I feel for her.

I do, too.

I know you do, dear.

I can't help thinking.

I know the boys didn't do it.

But suppose they did.

And this girl was hurt her life down the
drain.

What good does it do to send everybody
else down after her?

Ma, I don't think I want to talk about
this. No, no, no. Let me finish.

His family's come so far.

What about the kids?

What are they going to grow up with?

Their dad in jail?

Their mom alone?

That's going to be all right.

You're right. Send him in.

I'm Mr. Huffman, the lone gun from the
West.

Over there.

Doing a little public service,
Counselor? Oh, just trying to help these

out, Ted.

Maybe get a little TV exposure, huh?

Is this case going to be on TV?

My assistant, Bob Paulson.

Assistant D .A. Ted Gunning.

Mr. and Mrs. Dunn, look, folks, we won't
keep you long. We're going to make this

real simple and quick.

See, you two have been identified as
being at the scene of the incident.

Alleged incident.

Come on, Brad, we're not in court now.

Then don't try the case.

Alleged incident.

You saw what happened, or didn't happen
there.

But you don't want to tell your story,
so to simplify matters, I'm going to

subpoena you and make you tell it.

Well, you do that and they'll just
testify to the fact that nothing

there.

Is that right, Mr. Dunn?

That's right.

Mrs. Dunn?

Yes.

You know, I can't help but to notice
what a lovely couple the two of you are.

Mrs.

Dunn, do you know what the jail term is?
Don't threaten my client. For perjury?

They're aware.

Five years.

Well, Mr. Dunn?

Try me.

Mrs. Dunn?

Yes. Yes, what?

Yes, I'm aware.

Well, I guess we can't get any simpler
than that, huh?

Thank you all for coming in.

Always good to see you, Ted. Sure, Brad.

Well? Forget him.

I think we got a chance with her.

Yeah, yeah.

But what if she's stuck?

If nothing happened, then where are we?
In the toilet. But, Ted, we're paper

thin in this case.

Yeah, I know. I know.

And I can't risk it.

Consolation prize, though.

They're not talking for the other side,
either.

I think we did it.

Hey,

you hear that, hon?

Where's the ladies room?

You must be feeling pretty good.

You held us off.

You bluffed the DA.

You're out of the trial.

But I want you to know what you did to
Patty Mullen.

You deserted her.

You were her one hope.

And you walked away.

I want you to think about that when
those lawyers are cutting her up. And

know they will.

I want you to think about that when
those boys go free. And you know they

I want you to think about it day and
night for the rest of your life.

Go to hell.

Yeah. Yeah.

I am sick and tired of being pushed
around by everyone.

Then push back.

Tell your story.

I am going to have my life. Mine.

You think about that.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, it's only
human nature to presume that if a

man is on trial, he must be guilty.

Otherwise, why would he be on trial?

Well, what if there's a mistake and he's
done

nothing?

In this courtroom today,

That question dictates to you that you
presume these young men innocent

until proven guilty.

Moreover, guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt.

The state must prove that there was a
crime, that it was committed where

and when they say it did.

and that these defendants were
responsible for it.

Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Now, they will produce a witness to
testify to all that.

But the defense will show that her
testimony is contradictory.

and through independent evidence that
the witness herself is grossly

And when all this is brought out, we are
confident

that you will find more than a
reasonable doubt.

You will find to a moral certainty that
these defendants are not

guilty.

Yeah, Ben.

Lambs don't bark.

He's not all lamb.

Get out of here.

You know what tomorrow is?

Monday.

Patty goes on the stand.

I should be there.

You better not be.

We made a deal, remember?

Besides...

As far as that trial is concerned, we
don't exist.

The next witness will be referred to
only by her first name in order to

her identity because she is the alleged
victim in the case.

Her voice will be heard.

But her face will not appear on the TV.

Proceed.

Damn it.

Would you give us your name, please?

Patty. Patty, could you speak just a
little bit louder so the jury can hear

Patty?

Maybe just a little bit softer.

Patty.

Okay?

I'm studying in my high school
equivalency diploma.

When do you expect to graduate?

Dear.

Why not?

You're a manager.

Great.

Miss.

They took me to the police station and
then to the hospital.

And at the hospital, they took some
tests.

And I talked to a woman policeman.

I told her what happened.

Her name was Detective Jackson.

All right.

Now, Patty, during the events of that
day, did you,

at any time,

consent to have sex with anyone.

No, I did not.

Thank you, Hattie. That'll be all, Your
Honor.

Mr. Huffman, cross -examination.

Your Honor, I have here an article from
a newsletter called Easy Does It,

published by the St. Blaise's chapter of
Alcoholics Anonymous.

It's, uh...

To be marked defense exhibit number
three. Mr. Gunning has a copy.

Would you read this aloud to the court,
please, Patty?

Objection, Your Honor.

Counselor can read the article. She only
has to verify it. No, she has to read

it for accuracy.

Then let her read it silently.

And then I read it aloud?

We've been through this in chambers.

She has to read it for accuracy, aloud.

Objection's overruled, Mr. Gunning.

Read it, please.

Aloud.

Hi.

I'm Patty.

I'm an alcoholic.

A lot of people who've never seen me
drink are surprised to hear that.

Normally,

I'm a very quiet person.

But when I get drunk, I become someone
else.

I get... I get

crazy.

Again, please, Patty.

A little louder.

I get crazy.

I do things I wouldn't normally do.

And it doesn't take that much to get me
going.

I used to think the answer was to stop
after the first few drinks.

But now I know I have to stop before I
take the first drink.

Here's to the higher power.

It helps me do that.

Move to admit as defense exhibit number
three, your honor.

Yes, it may be received.

Proceed.

Now, on the day in question, you

say you spent most of the day in your
room, then feeling cooped up, you went

a walk.

You say you went into Michalski's bar.

How long have you been there?

A little while.

A half hour.

Half hour?

Not an hour?

No, not that long.

And you had how many drinks?

One.

One? Not three?

No, one.

All right.

Then you left there and you went to the
happy hour bar, is that right?

Yes. How many drinks did you have there?

Two. Two?

Not just one and you left?

No.

They bought me two drinks.

All right.

By your own count, you had three drinks.

Were you drunk then?

Dr. Jackson, you're on a conclusion.

Sustained. Is three drinks a few drinks?

I guess.

Enough to, what you call, get you going,
Patty?

I don't know.

Is three drinks enough to get you going,
Patty?

No. No.

But here you say three drinks is too
much. Even one drink is too much. Now,

which is it?

I was... I was just feeling good.

Feeling good.

This is a copy of your statement to the
police that night, Patty.

Would you read it to yourself and tell
me where it mentions the happy hour bar?

It doesn't.

It doesn't mention the happy hour bar?

No.

Well, wait now.

Here you identified these three young
men, described what they did to you, yet

you can't remember where it happened?

I couldn't remember at the time. Did you
ever have blackouts from drinking,

Patty? Yes. How many?

Sometimes. Sometimes?

Sometimes? Is that another one of your
views, Patty? I mean, how many times?

Once? A few times?

Many times?

Many. Many times?

Many times? Did you blackout that night?

I don't know. You don't know?

Don't remember. Don't remember? You
don't remember the happy hour? You don't

remember a blackout? How then could you
remember the defendants? I could.

You tell me how. Here you are, an
admitted alcoholic.

A few drinks is too much. Maybe you
blacked out. Now, isn't it possible,

Isn't it just possible that you went
into the happy hour bar, saw these three

defendants, left without incident, and
went to another bar?

Where the incident happened?

No. Back at Wilson Barn Grill or at
the... No! Or at... No!

Maybe back at Michael's. No!

Congratulations.

Now it's not just rape.

It's murder.

What? Patty's dead.

They just found her. She killed herself.

She tried.

She just couldn't make it.

Thank you.

Listen, get this one typed up and
back...

I

was there. I saw it.

I'll testify.

It was over. Finished. All we had to do
was nothing. And then you go and you do

this. You start the whole thing up
again. Why?

I felt bad for the girl.

What happened to that poor kid was
terrible.

But it was none of our business.

I know we were there, but sometimes
you've got to walk away from things

they can come back and destroy you.

Now, we can't do anything about this
statement thing, but tomorrow I want you

talk to this guy Gunning.

And I want you to tell him that you
changed your mind.

I talked to my sister in L .A.

She says there's some work out there.

And we could stay with them for a while
and then we could get settled.

I'm sorry, Kev.

I can't.

What do you mean you can't? I just
can't. Honey, I'm talking about our

I know. Look, we're married. You're my
wife. You'll do as I say. Do you hear

What's that?

What it looks like.

Why?

Because.

Things tearing us apart. I can't take it
anymore and I know you can.

Where will you go?

I don't know.

I'll find a room somewhere.

No, Annie.

You stay here.

I'll go.

I'm sorry,

Kevin.

Yeah, me too.

I saw his, uh... He's a woman.

Do you know?

I don't know. And the jury won't either.

Yes. Well, then say it. It's okay.

Anyway, that's when I think he
penetrated her.

You think?

Well, I didn't actually see it. Then you
can't say it.

I saw it later.

Then that's when you can say it, Annie.

Look, Anna, you can only testify to what
you saw, felt by touch, heard, smelled,

or tasted. Anything else, and Huffman
objects, which is what he wants.

Anything he can do to distract the jury,
to muddle your story, he's going to do.

So you've got to be very careful.

Now tell us what you saw.

Well, Lou was at the door, and Michael
had the knife.

And now Carl was with Patty.

Now, while all of this was going on,
Mrs. Dunn, did you hear anything?

Michael was cheering Carl on.

Cheering Carl on?

Like how? Bronx cheer? High school
cheer? What was he saying?

He was saying things like, um... Come
on, Carl, finish.

Go get it.

So now this alleged incident is a
spectator sport.

Mrs. Dunn, what was the bartender doing?

Well, at first he tried to stop it.

But by now, he had just given up and
turned away.

And your husband?

What was your husband doing?

He was talking to me.

He was trying to tell me it would be
over in a minute.

Did he do anything else?

No one did anything.

All right.

What happened then?

Well, Michael made drinks and Lou was
cheering Carl on. Carl still couldn't do

anything. Objection, Your Honor.

Sustained.

Strike from the records, the word still
couldn't do anything.

Okay.

Mrs. Dunn, tell us, what was Patty
doing?

She was moaning and choking.

Anything else?

She said, please, no more.

And then I turned away, but I heard her
say, Ow, no.

You turned away.

But up to then, you had watched the
whole thing.

No, I turned away and looked back a
couple times.

Why did you turn back?

I couldn't believe it. I had to look
just to see if it was real.

Was it real?

Yes.

Yes, it was.

Thank you.

No further notice.

What? You can't come in here.

Oh, Lee, I just needed some air.

It's Judge Carlin's role. No one's
allowed in while court's in session.

The defense just started. Oh, Lee, come
on. I'm sorry. It's my job.

Okay.

Well, I was over at a table, but I saw
her.

Hmm.

What did she do?

She had a few drinks and left.

Did you talk to her?

No. Did you see anyone talk to her?

No.

I was over at the table with Michael,
and I noticed her, and that's all.

I served her a drink, yeah, but I was
busy talking with the Duns.

I didn't see her leave.

I never saw her. I was playing a video
game.

Well, here we are.

Thanks for the escort.

That's part of my job.

No.

My pleasure, really.

Annie. I might say this wrong, but I
really like you.

I know that we're both separated, and I
know I get awful lonely sometimes.

And life does go on.

What?

That's what my husband used to say.

Great, Pop.

You did it again.

Reminded the lady of her husband.

Well Good night Yeah,

I'll see you tomorrow

I got you a load of mail. Oh.

Must be two weeks' worth.

Thanks.

You're famous.

Oh, yeah.

Die a bit.

Well, they're not... They're not all
like that.

You want to look at this?

I just thought you might.

How'd you guess? I mean, I figured, you
know, this place is... This place is,

uh... It's kind of nice.

I'll fix it up.

You? Fine.

So?

So.

So good.

Yeah. Yeah.

Take care of yourself.

You too.

Can I see you tomorrow?

I'm in court, Kevin.

Your name, please?

Alma Koenig.

Now, Miss Koenig, between January and
April of 1982, where did you

work? At the Dunn Brothers Carding
Company.

And did Mr.

Kevin Dunn work there, too?

He was my boss.

Uh -huh.

Now, between January and April of 1982,
what was your relationship with Mr.

Dunn?

Well...

We had a sexual relationship.

And how did it come about?

Well, we knew each other for about a
year.

And he came to me and said that he was
having difficulties with his wife.

She was having difficulties conceiving a
baby, and it created problems that made

him feel not like a man.

And he said that he was attracted to me.

And I was attracted to him, so... So,
you began a sexual liaison.

Yes. Did anybody else know about this
relationship?

His brother, Michael.

How did he know about it?

He caught us kissing once, and right
there, his brother told him about it.

How did this sexual relationship end?

Mrs. Dunn came to see me at the end of
March.

She said that if I didn't stop seeing
him, she'd get me.

I told her she should stop him from
coming around to see me.

And she said, don't worry, I'll take
care of him.

She said, don't worry, I'll take care of
him.

Yes.

We all knew about it.

And Annie knew we knew.

How do you know that?

Because Michael knew.

Michael never could keep his mouth shut.

And, of course, it was one of those
things, you know, a woman feels

that sort of thing happening.

Objection, Your Honor.

Sustained. That's an assumption.

Strike it, please.

What was Anna Dunn's position in the
family at this time?

Well, we loved her dearly.

But there was a difference. I mean, here
was Jean popping out babies, and there

was Annie not.

We didn't think it was a serious thing.

But Annie was defensive about it.

She did take some kidding about it.

What kind of kidding?

Well, one time, Michael got this
baseball glove for his softball league

and we were all there.

And he offered to loan it to Annie so
she could

catch one.

And what did Annie do?

She walked out of the room.

Don't you remember?

I gave her the mitt.

I made a joke. She got real mad and left
the room.

Ma, that never happened.

He never did that, and he never left any
room.

I recall she did.

So do I.

Now, Jean, at the birthday party when
she left the room, where did she go?

To the kitchen.

And what happened then?

She said, is this a bribe to make me
forget? Forget what?

Alma Koenig.

Oh.

Go on.

Then she said, I never will ever.

Well, did you know about Kevin Dunn's
affair with Al McCannick?

Yes. How?

Annie told me.

Annie told you.

Well, at the time of the Al McCannick
affair, what was your relationship with

Anna Dunn?

We were best friends.

She'd been godmother at my children's
christening.

During this time, did you have any
conversation with Annie Dunn about the

Caning affair?

We used to have lunch together,
sometimes every day.

On this one day, she said to me that she
had taken enough.

She was going to get even for all the
bad things that they'd done to her.

They?

Kevin and the family.

You just wait a minute.

There's something you don't understand
here.

You think when people get up on that
stand, they necessarily tell the truth?

Huh? Uh -uh.

They have banded together to save those
boys.

Now, you have got to stop being naive,
Anna, and give me something to challenge

them with.

Another witness, anything.

Look, Anna, I know it's a phony defense,
but the guy's killing us with

reasonable doubt.

Now, you've got to help us.

Mrs.

Dunn, when the alleged rape took place,
did you report

it? No, I... But you did visit Patty
Moult.

Yes.

And when the grand jury convened, did
you come forward?

I was trying to protect my brother -in
-law. Answer the question. Did you come

forward?

No.

And when did you come forward?

When the trial stopped.

On the day that Patty Mullen died.

Isn't that right?

Yes.

Now, isn't it a fact that you have

used this trial to get even with your
husband and his family? Absolutely not.

And that you didn't report the alleged
rape in the first place because, in

there was no rape and that you didn't
come forward to the grand jury because

had Patty Mullen carrying the ball for
you. That is a lie. And you only came

forward when Patty Mullen died because
you knew you had to carry out your plan.

That is a lie. You're a vendetta.

I never should have put her there.

She did all right.

It was a high -risk move. She did all
right. Bob, I'm telling you, I never

should have put Anna back on that stand.

Come on down.

Sam,

Bobby, not only are we losing this case,
we are losing on nationwide television.

Anna. Joey.

Joey Caputo.

How you doing?

Oh, Joey.

You're here.

You're here.

You're really here.

Come on in.

I'll tell you something. The minute she
hit that floor, I knew she didn't want

to be there.

Something inside me said split. So I
did. I went down to Philly for a few

Shipped out from there.

Every time I got to a port, I'd go
looking for news of it and there was

And I get back to Galveston and bam,
there you are on TV.

The news I was going to testify.

Yeah, I don't know.

I bummed around for a while working my
way back east.

But I don't know.

I couldn't get it out of my mind.

I know.

Watching the trial and all.

The way they're treating you.

I figured I got to come forward.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, thank God for you.

So the affair with Alma was the last
straw.

This was her chance to get even.

She told me that if I backed her story,
she'd take care of me.

Take care of you?

How?

Well, for one thing, we had sex.

You had sex with her in her room that
night?

Yes.

What else did she say?

Well, she said she was going to write a
book if she won the case.

A book?

take care of me.

Mr. Caputo, why did you come here today?

I didn't plan to.

I didn't want to get involved.

But I don't think it's fair what she's
doing.

No more questions, Jonah.

Damn you!

Hey, Michael.

Hey, Kev. What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with you?

torturing her. And he started all this.
That's right. We were in the clear until

she went in there. In the clear?

Geez. Well,

then let me unclear you, baby. I was in
that bar.

Be careful, Kevin.

No, I want her to know.

Don't listen, man -me. I love you.

And what do I get back in return?

You destroyed the only woman I love.

You're crap.

Oh, heaven don't.

You want it out of all this, we let you
out.

Don't say bad things now.

Because when it's all over, you'll walk
back in.

Back in?

I don't think so.

hurt us real bad today. I put you back
on that stand about him, it makes

worse. But I can answer him. Then
Hockney gets another shot. But I am

the truth. What's that got to do with
anything?

You know, you admit you took Joy to bed,
and that jury's going to read Tart,

Slut, Baker, Rose, you name it. No, no,
no.

They are going to know the truth.

Anna, forgive me.

I have been trying cases for 12 years.
How many have you done?

Yeah, that's right, Ted.

To you, this is just a case.

To me, we... are talking about my entire
life here.

Now, look, either you put me back on
that stand or I am calling a press

conference.

And I'm going to tell my side of it
there.

Now, it won't get to the jury, but it
will get to the public.

And you're not going to look too good.

You're serious, aren't you? Yes, I am.

Anna, that is blackmail.

Ain't that a hoot.

Annie.

Hi,

Kevi. Hi.

Boy, they're beating you to death, huh?

You eating all right?

You getting enough sleep?

More or less.

Yeah. Well, things happen.

A year ago, I guess we never would have
thought that things could turn out like

they've been.

I made a decision.

I'm selling a business.

Kevin, you put your heart into that.

We put our hearts into it.

I'm going to California.

Throw it all upon it and come with me.

I'm going to leave tomorrow.

We could start all over, like nothing
happened.

We can do it.

Forget the Joey thing.

He suckered you into it.

I mean, let's just can the whole thing.

And just take care of each other.

No, I can't.

I love you, Kevin.

Mrs. Dunn, did you happen to tell Joseph
Caputo that you were going to write a

book about this case?

No, I did not.

No. Did you ever even plan such a book?

No. Do you have any contracts or
promises or any contacts with commercial

enterprises? No.

Would you tell the court what you do to
support yourself now?

Well, I had to leave my job, but I'm
living off my savings.

Now, Mrs. Dunn, the night that Joseph
Caputo came to your room, did you have

with him?

Yes, I did.

Why did you?

Do you have a response, Mrs. Dunn?

It's the same as when people have asked
me why I've taken Patty's part in this

case.

I don't know how to answer.

She was just a young girl trying to
live. And after all the bad things that

done to her, she still wished good for
others.

I thought I could get away from it. I
thought someone else would come forward

and tell what happened.

But I finally realized that I am all
that's left of Patty.

And that's the way it's been these past
few months.

Joey...

Joey made me feel like I wasn't alone.

That he was a part of her too.

And that he wanted her to sleep quiet.

I made love with him.

I made love with him.

Out of sharing.

Out of love.

Do you regret what you did?

No.

I regret what he did after.

Thank you.

That's all, Jonas.

What can I do for you?

You want unleaded or unleaded? Unleaded.

Do you have a cup of coffee?

Sure, you can just help yourself.

Thanks. You're welcome. I'll instruct
you one more time.

Answer the question yes or no.

You did have sex with Mr. Caputo out of
love.

Yeah.

Now, was it because you saw your little
plans failing?

And so you seduce Joseph Caputo in hopes
of buying an ally for your tawdry

little scheme?

Objection. That's purely conjecture,
Your Honor.

Sustained. I have no more questions.

Oh, that'll be $18, sir, please.

Out of a 20?

Hey, looks like you're moving out.

California. California?

Hey, wish I was coming with you.

Good luck, man.

Mr. Dunn, did you witness the rape?

Yeah.

Now, are there persons in this courtroom
today who participated in that rape?

Yeah.

Can you point them out for us, please?

It was Carl, Lou, and Michael.

Mr.

Dunn, why have you not come forward
before?

I didn't want to hurt my brother.

Why then have you come forward now?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I didn't understand what my wife was...

It was getting too bad. They were lying
about my wife.

Sustained. Extract that.

You're not here to give conclusions.

That's up to the jury to decide.

Now, Mr. Dunn, did you ever hear your
mother or your brother or any member of

your family joke or make disparaging
remarks about your wife because of her

infertility?

No. No.

Did your wife ever threaten to get even
with you?

For the Alma Koenig affair.

She threatened to leave me.

But, no, she didn't. She didn't.

She didn't threaten to get even.

And the affair ended.

And since then, you and your wife have
been trying to conceive a child

Until we were separated, yeah.

When did you last speak with your wife?

Four nights ago.

And did she say something to you then?

Yeah. What?

She said, I love you, Kevin.

Thank you, Mr. Dunn.

No further, Your Honor.

Cross to recess and confer with my
client, Your Honor.

Court will be in recess over lunch.

All rise.

Take a hike.

Take a hike.
