Mr. Trager.

Yeah. I was wondering if you had a minute.

We have a matter of some importance to take up.

Hey, you okay, pal?

Sorry to do this, but you don't need these anymore.

And I surely do.

Over here, please, sir.

Thank you.

I blew it.

You did great. Listen, your testimony's gonna put Wilson away.

Come on, it's his eyes. The guy unnerved me. Nobody's gonna believe me. Nobody

did believe me. Take it easy. The guy is gone. Trust me.

I do.

Isn't that your dad?

I don't know.

Pop! Hey!

What's up?

Peter, what are you doing here?

What am I doing here? Well, this is my turf.

Better question, what are you doing here?

I have been called to jury duty.

You're kidding.

How did they get your name?

You don't have a social security number. You don't pay taxes.

Petition. One of those petitions you signed.

I support every effort to improve life on this planet.

I know you do, Pop. I just... Somehow I just have trouble seeing you on a jury.

I mean...

Why?

You just don't look the type.

It is unfortunate that some people judge others purely on the basis of their

appearance.

I'd say he's a prime candidate.

Yeah, you're absolutely right.

I'd love to stick around to watch this, but I've got a lot of paperwork.

Okay, Jody, don't worry about the testimony. You'll do fine. I'll see you.

Bye.

Son.

The grandson of Kwai Chang Kane walks out of the past.

But I want to fight.

So did your great -grandfather when he was your age.

He teaches his son wisdom at a Shaolin temple.

An evil force destroyed that temple.

Father and son each believed the other had perished.

Fifteen years later, they were reunited.

Now Kane faced new challenges.

And his son grew up.

Look, I'm not my father. I don't do kung fu. I'm a cop. That's who I am. That's

what I do.

I am Jane.

I will help you.

I am looking for the registration.

Top of the stairs.

First door on your left.

Thank you.

Hey, wait a minute.

You've got to get those shoes cleaned.

First impressions count.

I... Can't offer you no money.

You're on the streets.

From time to time.

Come on and have a seat. This one's unsolved.

Come on.

So, this is your first time into the lion's den, huh?

Yes.

Why do you call it the lion's den?

Oh, I've seen and heard it all here.

Your greed, your power and corruption, your murders, divorces, bankruptcies.

I've seen the guilty walk and the innocent hang.

Hi, Saul.

You got time for a shine?

Oh, all this time for you, ma 'am? Have a seat. I'll just be second.

You know, I can tell a lot about people from their shoes.

You, for instance, have traveled a great distance, seen many places.

You know, lately I've been thinking about selling everything and hitting the

road myself.

The world will come to a man who is truly wise

and knows his place.

I guess I see the truth from the bottom of men's souls.

And women's souls, too.

You have a sore neck.

Yeah, many years of bending over.

Occupational hazard, though.

There you go. As good as new.

Perhaps I could return the favor?

It's incredible.

This gives a whole new meaning to free trade.

You meet all kinds here,

don't you?

All kinds.

Excuse me, is that seat free? Sure.

You're here for jury selection?

Yes.

Boy, the county must be more desperate for jurors than I thought.

I understand you're under oath here.

Is there anyone here with felony convictions or cases pending?

You may be excused.

Come on, let's get this show on the road.

You would rather not be here?

Yeah, I would rather not be here.

I got better things to do than spend a week or two cooped up in some stuffy

courtroom listening to a couple of slimeball lawyers.

I have received a list of the principal witnesses and lawyers in the trial for

the murder of William Trager. If you personally know any of those on the

you may leave.

You recognize any of these names?

I'm not very good with names, only faces.

I've got cousins I didn't even know I had.

No, just what I read in the newspapers.

Oh, I don't read those anymore.

Random violence every page.

Our fellow man's morality is disintegrating.

But what of my own? How can I judge anyone? What if I'm wrong?

I hope you're never on a jury if I'm up on murder charges.

Your doubt and your fear are valuable assets.

They help to hone your objectivity.

For those of you remaining in this room, please move to the final selection to

be conducted in courtroom three.

Thank you.

The Right Honorable Judge Reynolds presiding.

Juror number 12, please step forward.

Please be seated.

Mr.

Mason, attorney for the prosecution, and Mr. Derrick for the defense.

We'll be asking you a few specific questions to determine the final

Let's get this over with, gentlemen. And Mr. Mason, let's leave the

grandstanding for your primetime namesake, shall we?

Juror number 12.

If the accused is determined guilty, would you have any hesitation in

a verdict that would commit him to prison for life?

All of us must pay for our sins. either in this life or the next.

Great. Please just answer the question.

I will support whatever I believe to be the truth.

What do you think? Preempt? Let the defense do it for us.

Approved, Your Honor.

Mr. Derrick?

When you look at the poor and the suffering in the streets, those without

opportunities of a normal life, what do you see?

I see no difference between them and all of us.

What do you do for a living?

I am a shaman priest.

Can you then be a member, acting as a part of a unit?

ultimately decide the fate of another human being.

I can only view things as an individual, which is all that any juror can do.

It requires a communal truth from 12 people.

Otherwise, there is no hope that justice can be achieved.

Is that a yes?

Yes.

Any more questions?

No, Your Honor.

Juror 12 is selected.

Excuse me, Your Honor, but... The juror is approved.

I found

our man.

A young family.

Unemployed.

Shouldn't be any trouble.

I want some insurance.

There's a lot of money riding on this. Some of it yours.

Make yourself known to the family.

Oh?

That would be a pleasure.

She's skating beautifully now. They both are.

Yeah. See how Robert's improved?

Oh, yes.

Don't go too fast now. Buzz off. I know what I'm doing.

Uh -oh.

Just a sec. I've got to go.

You okay?

Here. Let me help you.

Come on. You're all snowy.

There you go. You okay?

Thank you.

Are you okay, darling?

Yes, Mama.

The man helped me.

Such a pretty little girl.

Just like her mother.

I always worry about children getting hurt.

Life is so very fragile, is it not?

Robert, come along now.

Oh, Mom!

It's time to go home.

Come on now. We have to go home.

Peter, Powell on line three. She says she got some wild news.

How'd you do?

Nailed open and shut. I just thought about your father. I looked through his

eyes into his soul.

Now, speaking about your dad, I hope you're sitting down for this one.

He's on a jury.

What? Are you kidding?

Traeger murder trial.

You should get down here. It's definitely something to behold.

Yeah, I'm on my way.

On my way where? You think this paperwork's going to get up and walk

Here's the scenario.

My father on a jury.

Let's go.

Your partner was in the habit of working late?

Always. He was extremely dedicated to the firm.

He had no wife, no kids, few friends.

Just Tray Tech.

We were his family.

Was it routine for him to leave the office late and return to his car in the

underground parking lot? Yes, but that lot has never been safe.

We asked the property managers to make it more secure, but they've done

This whole thing is just so senseless.

The waste of a life.

I'm sorry.

That's all right, Mr. Blackwell.

Murder is always senseless.

So I guess you weren't surprised when the murderer was picked up with your

business partner's identification and credit card. Objection, Your Honor.

Prosecution is leading the witness.

Sustained.

No more questions, Your Honor.

Mr. Derrick?

I can't believe this.

Too bad we can't take a picture.

You may step down, Mr. Black. My father functioning as an ordinary member of

society.

This is good.

Isn't it?

Your Honor, I would now like to call Dr. Ganesh Hardewal, professor of forensic

science at St. Mary's University.

And these injuries to the victim's left temple were caused by the blows from a

fist? Definitely.

But it wasn't the head injury that was fatal.

Death was caused by injury to the kidneys and particularly the spleen.

Also blows from the fist. Yes.

External bruising indicates precisely that.

So a man trained for the military could have inflicted these blows. Objection,

Your Honor.

Sustained.

Peter, remember.

Remember your license.

What is the meaning?

of this dispute.

It's Sung Chu.

He killed one of the temple doves that we've trained as a pet.

This is true.

No, Master Kane, I did not kill the bird.

Master Kane, here's Sung Chu's slingshot.

Give me that.

This is... your weapon?

Yes, Master Kane.

I found it under his bed. He must be punished, Father.

Well... When we judge others, we judge ourselves.

Sun Chu must be offered the opportunity to defend himself against your

accusation.

He's not buying it.

How can you tell?

What expression?

What expression?

Objection, Your Honor. Counsel is leading the witness.

Sustained. Your Honor, I am trying to establish through this witness's expert

testimony that Mr. Trager was purposefully beaten to death.

That he did not...

Hey, what's up, Peter? What's the rush?

My father, he needs my help. What'd he do? Send you a telepathic message? Yeah,

something like that. Hey, the case is closed.

This has nothing to do with you. There's no way you're going digging through

those files.

Oh, I've seen that look in his eyes before.

Don't fight him, Frank. Hey, hey, hey!

Don't double -team me here. There's no way I'm assigning him to this. I'll take

the assignment.

Hey, where's your set to justice, Frank?

Never mind. Look, I'll make sure that this is unofficial, okay?

Thank you. And they can see it that way.

Harkington.

Teller. Here we go.

Traeger. But, Peter, if you really think I'm going to find something more than

Professor Hardewall, you've got more faith than I do. The guy's a

A forensic machine. He doesn't miss a thing. You haven't let me down yet.

Hardewall taught me at university.

Hard -ass Hardewall, we used to call him.

He almost failed me in forensic pathology.

Well, genius is often misunderstood, Nick.

Yeah.

Huh.

Ruptured spleen.

Traeger was punched in the spleen, bled to death.

As much as I'd love to prove the old guy wrong just once, this is cut and dried,

Peter. Oh, my father doesn't think so.

How many times has he been proven wrong?

Listen, there's got to be something else here, Nick.

It's time for us to kick some hard ass.

Excuse me, Mr. Duncan.

We have a word, sir. It won't take a minute of your time.

I have a proposition to make to you, sir.

You said when you found William Trager, he was dead.

What was your first thought?

I felt sick.

I've seen dead guys before.

Hundreds of them.

During your two years tour of duty in Vietnam?

Yeah. You've seen a lot of suffering in your life, haven't you?

Growing up without a father.

Living in a divided home.

Supporting your family.

I guess.

Have you ever hurt anyone?

I mean really hurt them.

After the war, no.

Ever committed armed robbery?

Owned a gun or used a weapon?

No. I can't even look at a gun now.

Thank you.

That's all, Your Honor.

Mr. Mason?

You say you're not a violent man.

Well, what about this aggravated assault charge in Detroit in 1983?

Two guys came at me with baseball bats. It was self -defense.

And another in Chicago in 1987.

This guy was molesting my girlfriend.

Detroit, 1989.

New York, 1991. I have seven charges here.

Objection, Your Honor. My client was never convicted on any charges involving

bodily harm.

Sustained.

I think I've made my point. No further questions, Your Honor.

Mr. Derrick, call your next witness.

There it is. Look, I can't believe they missed it. The damage extends internally

from the viscera to the spleen and even up to the lung here and here.

But look at the chest. No signs of fractures to ribs, no bruising. What do

think? Hardy wall was wrong.

I love it. I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it. Mickey, whoa, slow down.

The only way these injuries could have been caused was if the guy's belly was

exposed with the chest cavity spread up and out.

That means somebody was holding his hands behind his back.

Bingo. Then there were two guys.

There were two guys, and my father knew it.

I can't believe Hardwell missed this. The insurance investigators as well.

The insurance company looked at this stuff?

Oh, sure. The insurance companies can't give payouts until the cause of death

has been established.

There's always some guy hanging around.

Yeah, but Traeger had no family. Who was the beneficiary?

I'm just a genius, not the IRS.

Well, who was the insurance company?

Um... Co -partner's life.

Nicky, thank you.

Members of the jury, as you retire to begin your deliberation, I must remind

you of the seriousness of your task.

One man's life is over.

Another man's life lies in the balance.

I urge you to use every resource at your disposal.

Your intelligence, your instincts, the powers of your imagination.

All of these faculties can serve you in this undertaking.

Court dismissed.

All rise.

Call your wife, sir.

Honey, it's me.

We're about to go into the jury room.

I know.

I know.

Doctor, don't worry.

Please, don't worry.

Nothing is going to happen.

Nobody is going to do anything.

Trust me.

Okay, you draw one.

Oh, no, no, no.

9 10 11 that's 11 for guilty

Not guilty oh You've got

to be kidding you actually think this guy's innocent I Do not know Well, if

don't know why don't you just take a good look around you the rest of us do

the guy had guilty He's a murderer.

I look at his path, huh?

We killed people in Vietnam. Have you seen those tattoos on his hands?

Ah.

Does this brand me as a killer also?

Appearances can be deceptive.

Right?

Well, I mean, people look at me and I don't know what they see, but they don't

see the real me.

I don't even know who that is.

Maybe I should change my vote.

I... simply wish to discuss the evidence.

Oh, great.

Okay. Let's discuss the evidence.

So go ahead.

Well, you're a Shiatsu priest, so enlighten us.

Shaolin.

I find this all rather unusual, Mr. Smith. The jury is deliberating the fate

the murderer as we speak. The evidence is... Very strong.

There's little doubt in anyone's mind that we'll hear a guilty verdict by

tomorrow.

Well, I appreciate that, Mr. Blackwell.

But the co -partners require the answers to a few more questions before we may

proceed with the claim.

Where's Mr. Clark?

He's been dealing with our policy until now.

Death in the family.

Tragic.

Shall we proceed?

Please. Fine.

Here we go. Now.

Upon payout, the transfer of Trade Tech shares would put you personally in the

position of majority shareholder. Is that correct?

That should all be in the documentation.

Yes, of course. Of course it is.

And with that, virtual control of the company.

Yes.

And the cash received would go directly to Trade Tech.

Into a special development account.

How many millions was that?

May I please see some identification, Mr. Smith?

I must have left my wallet at home.

Boing.

Time sure flies when you're counting chickens, doesn't it? On behalf of all

us at the office, co -partners, we would like to thank you for dealing with us

today.

Melissa, would you please get Mr. Clark from Co -Partners on the line?

Why do you believe Morrison is innocent?

I have looked into his eyes.

He may feel to keep himself alive, but he's no killer.

You saw that in his eyes?

Yes.

Maybe I saw the same thing.

Compassion in his eyes.

What's the trouble here?

Nothing. Just an accident.

Any progress?

Ask Mr. Innocent.

Well, in that case, Judge Reynolds recommends that the jury adjourn for the

night. The bus is waiting outside to sequester you to a nearby hotel.

Well, I hope you're pleased.

Some of us have families that depend on us.

Something is troubling you.

You? You're troubling me.

I am sorry to hear that.

No, you're not.

You don't give a damn.

the testimony of Sung Choo and the other witnesses.

The sentence has been passed.

Now, you must carry out the punishment.

Peter?

Isn't this a little excessive?

Please, do as I tell you.

As each of you removes an arrow from the quiver.

The delicate balance of the cauldron will be upset.

Now, follow, one by one.

I can't do it.

Why?

I killed the dove.

To get even with some truth for all this cruelty.

I am sorry.

Take them to the meditation hall.

You are trouble, my son, as usual.

I can't believe you'd do this.

Sure, the Song Chu was innocent.

But what if Dennis hadn't confessed?

What if he had removed the final arrow?

The Song Chu would have been wrongfully punished.

Dry ice.

It was just a trick.

An illusion.

On the surface, all is illusion.

Sometimes you must risk all to find the truth beneath.

Nothing on Blackwell.

Don't stay here all night, Peter. It isn't your case.

I won't say anything to Strenlick.

He's supposed to be sequestered. I have very little time.

I am uncertain.

I believe a family may be in danger.

What's this, their address?

A juror's family?

You're talking to yourself?

Better get some sleep, partner.

No time to sleep.

Let's go.

All those in favor of a guilty verdict.

One, two, three, four, five, six.

Not guilty?

A hung jury is unacceptable.

What's your problem? This is not a complicated case. The evidence is...

The problem is Juror 12.

He's the only one who originally thought the accused was innocent.

He swung the balance.

Would you like to review the evidence again, transcripts, anything?

There are certain questions the witnesses were not asked.

We've asked all the questions that are necessary to reach a verdict.

Obviously, this juror disagrees with you.

Would you be comfortable asking the questions yourself?

No! Mr. Mason, this is my courtroom, and I will conduct it as I see fit.

With respect, Your Honor, this is illegal.

There's no precedent.

Stevens versus Wambaugh, 1978.

A representative of the jury was allowed to question several of the key

witnesses. This is ludicrous!

Mr. Derrick?

Why not?

Court will reconvene in one hour.

If this family is being held hostage, we should have the place surrounded.

I get the hunch, but if we're wrong, bringing in Stiles and his SWAT team

be very expensive and embarrassing.

I've got an idea.

Wait here.

What else is new?

Excuse me. Hi there. Police. We need to talk.

Order.

The court calls Dennis Morrison to the stand.

You're still under oath, Mr. Morrison.

No.

Do you recall the moment when you first saw the body of Mr. Trager?

Yeah, I think so.

Forgive me.

Please, close your eyes.

Now, let your mind take you back to that moment.

Can you see how he was dressed?

Yeah, he's wearing a suit.

Do you see anything else?

His suit jacket is half off.

Off the shoulders, like, you know what I mean?

Perhaps it would be helpful to demonstrate?

His jacket was... like this?

Yeah, that's it.

His jacket was just like that.

Your Honor, the condition of the victim's clothing is not relevant.

Juror 12, I do hope you're leading somewhere with these questions.

Forgive me.

Mm -mm -mm.

Nothing quite like a homemade sandwich, huh?

Get rid of whoever it is.

And Mr. Duncan, don't try to be clever.

Please?

Hello, Mrs. Duncan.

How are you this fine day?

I'm all right.

I have for you a registered letter.

Now.

Where is that thing that you have to sign?

Do you mind? If I come in, it's a bit nippy.

It's that time of year where the postmen have to bundle up.

Hello, kids.

Company! Well, I love company. Hi, fellas.

And don't you love getting packages? That's what makes my job so much darn

Every day is like Christmas.

Just give us the damn package, pal.

Sure, you want it, you got it.

Don't mess with us. We're the postal service.

These x -rays and photographs show many blows to the

abdomen. Yes. As I've already testified, the blows were fatal.

And they caused internal injury.

Yes. To the kidneys, the spleen, and the lungs.

And yet, there was no evidence of outer blows.

To the chest.

The blows came from under the ribcage.

I find that curious.

Your Honor, Dr. Hardewall is the city's leading expert on these matters.

The juror's curiosity is leading us nowhere.

Perhaps you might assist me in resolving my

confusion.

Happily.

Strike me in the stomach.

Just as the hedgehog protects his soft underbelly from the predators,

so do we all.

Your Honor, his arms could have been immobilized.

You mean like this?

Your Honor, will you put a stop to this circus sideshow before someone gets

seriously hurt?

What does this prove?

Morrison had an accomplice that was holding the victim from behind. He still

killed the man.

Dr. Hardivar, there were also several blows to the head.

Yes, he was repeatedly hit on the left side of the face.

Your Honor, may I?

Yes.

The man is left -handed.

Blows to the left side of the head are administered with...

Dr. Hardewald.

I have to review the data again. It seems I may have been a little hasty in

conclusion.

I assume you're not finished.

There is one other witness I would like to question.

You seem anxious, Mr. Blackwell.

Yeah?

Well, I am anxious.

Anxious that you and the rest of the jury don't blow this case.

You are impatient for the sword of justice to fall.

I want to see that scum pay for Traeger's murder.

And you will do anything to ensure that.

What's that supposed to mean?

Like the jackal who mocks his prey, you use fear to intimidate.

Objection, Your Honor.

Sustained. The weak.

The jackal is his arrogance.

Your Honor.

And arrogance is the downfall of anyone who subverts the truth.

The juror is insinuating that Terrence Blackwell is trying to influence this

court.

Your Honor.

We present these witnesses to the defense.

What's the meaning of this?

Order in the courts.

Water.

Water in the court.

Bailiff.

Stop. Don't let anybody move.

Drop your guns or I'll kill you.

I'm telling you, I'll kill her.

Move. Out of the way. Out of the way.

Out of the way.

Drop it.

I'll kill her.

You hear me? I'll kill her.

Stay back.

Well,

Perry, there's just one thing I don't understand.

Perry?

Perry Mason.

TV? No.

Never mind. Listen.

Mr. Kane, I want to thank you for saving my life.

This has been one of the most unusual judging experiences I've ever had,

to you.

I was merely performing my civic duty.

Oh, nonsense.

If we had more juror members like yourself, this justice system might get

on track.

Judge Reynolds, I know we've never seen eye to eye, but I want you to know I'm

greatly relieved that you're all right.

Well, how very chivalrous of you, Mr. Mason.

Oh, by the way...

I did check the case books, and I could find no record of that precedent

-setting Stevens versus Wambaugh.

Oh, really?

Well, it's a very little -known case.

I'm sure.

Hope we meet again in a courtroom sometime, Mr. Kane.

Maybe I can learn something.

Thank you.

Hubba hubba.

Church now.

Best. Ye be judged.
