All language subtitles for Judicial.Consent.1994

It was a baseball bat, wasn't it?

Or a hammer or something.

With a pipe.

Of course.

The lead pipe in the train compartment.

Guilty on both counts. Death penalty
recommended and imposed.

Pretty rough for your first case.

Here's another one from 86.

State versus Wolf and Wolf.

You rejected the plea.

Two brothers shut their grandmother
because she wouldn't let them borrow her

car.

A solid career for just eight years on
the bench. It's my guess that you'll

the quickest confirmation hearing in the
history of the goddamn state Supreme

Court. Thanks, John.

I know you had a lot to do with it. Damn
right.

I told the governor that I'd be writing
opinions for my deathbed if he didn't

nominate you.

So I was rammed down his throat.

Judge Fallon, the materials you
requested are here.

Gwen, there isn't any room for you in
the governor's throat.

Did anybody tell you that there's a
dress code for the clerk in my office?

I'm not a clerk, Your Honor. I work at
the library.

You show up here again like that, it'll
be your last day.

Understand?

Yes, Your Honor.

These cases caused us the most commotion
and controversy over the past 30 years.

Do your homework, because they're the
things that are most likely to come up

your confirmation hearing.

Thanks, John.

Will the defendant please rise?

The prosecution led by Mr. Mayron has
presented your prior record and has...

pushed hard for the maximum penalty
allowed by this state?

That's correct, Your Honor.

Based on Mr. Mehron's request, I hereby
sentence you, Paul Michael Ramirez, for

the robbery and murder of Willie Bunton
to life in prison without the

possibility of parole.

Motherfucker! You think you can hide
from me? I'll kill you, man! I'll kill

You think I can't kiss you?

Someone should tell him there's a long
waiting line for that.

I specifically asked you for leniency
based on my client's difficult

Your client killed an unarmed store
owner for $65.

He's a 26 -year -old kid who grew up on
the streets with no parents.

You want to champion the cause of the
have -nots?

Start with the two kids in Willie
Button's house who've been waiting for

father to come home from his door since
last July.

This is justice, Teresa.

It's not politics.

I confirmed lunch on Friday, and Dan
Llewellyn called to say congratulations

that he would see you at the reception
for Judge Pollan. I need you to sign

this. And Tom called about your meeting
on Monday.

And these canes. They're gorgeous.

Well, you can borrow them anytime you
want. Thanks.

Who's this?

New boyfriend?

No, that's an old picture.

Just another in a series of cheap and
meaningless physical encounters.

Yeah, I guess third -year law hasn't
changed all that much, huh?

Your Honor.

Your Honor.

The condemn order for Redmond Arnold.

Did you get it?

Sorry, Tony. Curtis wouldn't sign the
order.

I know that. However, I also know... I
can't do it, Tony.

I can't issue an injunction without a
police order.

Last time, he almost got me disbarred.

You two can't touch him now.

Besides, this is Raymond Arms we're
talking about.

It's a damn crack in the box, and I got
kids living there.

You're certain of that?

You want to take a tour?

You know, even if I agreed to do it, it
wouldn't happen overnight.

I'd have to request a proper injunction
form, but it takes weeks.

I want you to know, I am going to take
you to lunch this time.

Promise.

What time we have to leave?

Whenever you're ready.

You really feel like doing this?

Gwen.

Mike. I'm going to get us a drink.

Congratulations.

Oh, well, thanks.

Have you met my wife, Sheila?

No, I don't think that she would like to
meet you.

Your Honor.

Charles.

Well, you look disappointed.

I'm looking for Alan.

I'd be willing to pretend.

Subtlety never was your strong point.

You mean my overt attempts to take you
to bed?

It's part of it.

Be the old rumor mill.

Oh, you know what? What?

You look sensational.

And I mean that. I do.

So they've asked me to say something
nice about my experience on the state

for the last 30 years.

As soon as something occurs to me, I'll
let you know.

Seriously, though, I do hope the next 30
years will be as rewarding for our next

state justice, Gwen Warwick.

Afternoon, John.

Hi, Nate.

I need Law Review Volume 90, Number 8,
Volume 88, Number 5, please.

Be right back.

Strong words for a man barely five feet
tall, don't you think?

My favorite Catholic hunchback.

Are you a fan of Mr. Pope?

College thesis.

Really?

Take this.

Here you go.

Sure you don't want to check this out as
well?

I wish I had the time.

Thank you.

Hello there. Hi.

Hi.

Yeah, the law journals, they looked a
bit dry.

A bit?

So you're an attorney?

Judge. Circuit court.

Really?

You're surprised?

No, I just, I guess, I imagine judges
had people who did their research for

them. Oh, yes.

Yes, it's a commonly held myth, advanced
by politicians and law professors.

You're all so... Well,

it's not the way I pictured it, just
look.

Well, we don't all look like Judge
Wapner.

I don't know him. Does he come in here
also?

No, he's... Never mind.

Okay, here you go.

Your Honor.

Lieutenant.

You know, you're probably a lot smarter
than I am.

How so?

Well, I mean, we're both in the same
racket, law enforcement.

But you're too smart to get bogged down
in the everyday bullshit, like this

injunction for the condemn order.

Now, I suppose you think you have the
right to go over my head because the

police department is too stupid to cut
through its own red tape.

Redmond Arms has been ripe for a condemn
for two years, Lieutenant.

Detective Canfield found out. Canfield?
Canfield doesn't even have the authority

to request this condemn order, much less
ask you to sign it.

Did it ever occur to you that your
arrogance might have blown the cover on

investigation that Canfield didn't know
anything about?

I don't know why you keep going over my
head. Is it because you think you know

better than me, or does it feed your
ego? I don't know what your story is.

But the next time you interfere with my
business, I'll have you brought up on

contempt charges.

And that is a promise, Your Honor.

Thank you. That's very nice.

Thank you, sir.

You're cold You want to come inside

no Want me to walk you back

no Then what are you doing here?

I?

Don't know

At the turn of the century, this place
was a glove factory.

Now they're lucky if they can rent it
out for storage.

So, is this approach usually effective?

What approach is this?

The business with the poems.

Have you had luck with it before?

You mean do I have a lot of women
following me back here?

I'm afraid you're the first.

Have you lived down here long?

There's a juvenile center down here.

Down here I got into a little trouble
after my father died.

Did you go to City College?

No.

Well, obviously you went somewhere.

I didn't mean it like that.

This was interrogation.

I was curious.

Suspicious?

Yeah, suspicious.

Actually, I came here to bring you this.

I have to go.

I should make up.

We got back early.

That's great.

How'd it go?

Could have gone better.

Where you been, Gwyn?

What?

Tonight.

Oh, uh, the library.

I'm beat.

These just came for you. From Tony
Canfield?

He said he was sorry about the blow -up
with Lieutenant Cardiff.

Well, that was sweet of him.

Oh, and a guy called from the University
of Michigan. He said he found the

article you were looking for.

What article?

I don't know.

The number's on there.

You just missed her. She's at the
library.

The library.

Listen, I need to use her telephone.

Sure. Go ahead. Thanks.

Come in.

Hi.

Hi. Listen.

I just came to tell you that what
happened here last night should not have

happened. We don't know each other.

I don't know you.

I don't know anything about you.

I mean, how old are you?

You don't know me. You know nothing
about me. Did you know I was married?

Look, it's not gonna happen again.

That's all.

I just wanted to make that clear.

Okay. You want a beer?

Did you hear me?

Yeah, we're not gonna sleep together
anymore.

That's right.

Well, you want a beer?

Where have you been?

I was just getting some air.

You need a lift?

No, I think I'll walk.

Come on, get in here. It's gonna rain.
Come on.

No? Mrs. Warwick, it's Ed at the gate.
There's a Mr. Mayron here to see you.

Oh, sure.

Send him back.

Will do.

Hey. Carl, what's going on? Hi.

Sorry for dropping by like this, but I
was driving back to the office, and I

wanted to see you.

Oh, and I...

Forgetting to give you this.

And it's heavy.

Very heavy. It's heavy.

Well, come in.

In honor

of your nomination.

Oh, Charles, that's beautiful.

Yes.

That's sweet. Thank you.

I'm proud of you, Gwen.

Now, listen to me.

I know it's not my place.

But lately, I've been thinking a lot
about you.

Here.

All these nights.

It's not going to happen, Charles.

I know.

I know.

If you change your mind.

Little evening visit?

Charles, he was dropping something off.

Is this what he was dropping off?

Yes.

Why don't you take it?

Take it.

Huh? Take it.

Gwen. Take the gavel, huh?

Did you fuck him, Gwen, huh?

Did you fuck him in our house here, huh?

Come here for a second.

Come here for a second.

Where are you going?

I'm not going anywhere.

Let go of me.

Let go of me.

I don't do that stuff, okay? Hey, hey!

Hey, don't you walk away from me!

You hear me?

You walk away right now, I swear to God,
I'll ruin you.

You know.

I'm sorry.

This must seem so absurd to you.

I don't know why I even came here.

You think he might try to hurt you?

Kind of like that one.

Oh.

What's going on?

Someone killed him.

Last night.

What?

I'm sorry.

What?

3 -31, 3 -31, switch to 5.

That's fine.

Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies.

Thou anointest my head with oil.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow
me all the days of my life, and I will

dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Charles Mayron gave this community and
this parish a rich life.

Hear our prayers, Lord, when we ask for
the strength to carry on.

in his absence lord have mercy on his
soul may he rest in peace

i

understand they arrested someone

yes they arrested a woman named andrew
tobias

Evidently, she and Charles have been
having an affair for the past six

She was seen leaving his office the
night of the murder.

Hello? Gwen, John.

John, how are you?

I'm all right, I'm all right. How's the
homework doing?

Pretty good, I guess.

What have I got before we get together?
About two weeks?

About that, I'd say.

Now, look, Gwen, I need a favor. A
problem has come up in the Mayeron

we need someone to hear it.

I thought that was Mr. Grant County with
Sidney Lazar.

Oh, it was, it was, but now he's
claiming he's too sick to do it. What is

62? He could be my son for Christ's sake
anyway.

The upshot is, I'd like you to take it.

I can't do that, John.

Charles and I worked together. We were
friends.

Mehran was friends with every judge in
the county. Or thought he was, anyway.

But what do you say?

I promise, I promise it won't interfere
with your confirmation hearings.

Oh.

John, I feel badly. I just can't do it.

Gwen, you're my last resort.

We've tried to change the venue four
times already.

We'll be under if it's pushed back six
months.

I'm sorry, John. I wish I could help
you.

Gwen, I'm appealing to you as a friend.

I've never asked you for anything.

I really need this.

John, you know I'd do anything for you.

Let me, um, think.

I guess if you're really in a bind...

Good. Thank you.

I'll have Gil Cummins call you in the
morning.

Now, you know Gil, don't you?

Gil.

Yes, um... Yes, I met Gil at, um... At
the reception for Steinbach.

Right, right. Let me know if you don't
hear from him.

Yes, of course.

Thanks, John.

What's her name?

Themis, goddess of justice.

She's blindfolded.

She's blind to everything except the
weight of the facts before her.

She's asked to balance two objects.

She shouldn't be able to see that one is
a feather and one is a stone.

In case the stone is lighter.

So you don't find this difficult?

Standing in judgment over people you
don't really know?

Yes, it is.

It was more difficult at first.

You know, there was a lot of resentment
when I was appointed.

Conventional wisdom of the time being
that I was too young and too soft.

And then a lot of people thought I got
the job because I was sleeping with

Charles Mayron, who I happened to be
working for at the time.

He just couldn't wait to see me tested.

So my first really big trial was quite a
high -profile murder case that

nobody else wanted.

The defendant had murdered his ex -wife
and her new husband in a compartment of

a moving train.

And I imposed the death penalty.

Was it carried out?

Yes. It was carried out.

And I had nightmares about it.

For months afterwards.

About the day that I handed down a
sentence walking up the courthouse steps

reporters yelling at me from their
umbrellas.

But after that, no one ever accused me
of being soft.

I guess it is sad that...

It seems almost routine now.

Hey, there was a bleeding heart in there
somewhere.

These are the preliminary motions for
the Mayron case.

Why do you have them?

I'm representing the defendant, Andrea
Tobias.

Don't expect to ask for the leniency as
your father in the Ramirez case.

I won't need to.

Because you didn't do it.

The most difficult part.

of a prosecutor's job is hearing the
same story over and over again from

very sincere attorneys describing their
defendant.

He's such an ordinary guy, they say.

She's such an ordinary person.

Well, unfortunately, ladies and
gentlemen, ordinary people have sides to

that many of us will never know.

Sides that have affairs.

Sides that commit murder.

And I submit to you that Andrea Tobias
has a side that did both.

The state will prove beyond a reasonable
doubt that Mrs. Tobias, a married

woman, distraught over Mr. Mehran's
desire to end their affair, went to his

office on the evening of October 6th for
the sole purpose of killing him.

And with a blunt object, she struck him
repeatedly on the head, crushing his

skull.

Ms. Lewis, the prosecution is presenting
a case against Andrea Tobias based

purely on circumstantial evidence.

Yes, Ms. Tobias was having a
relationship with Charles Mayron. She

that on the stand.

But no, she was not in his office that
night.

And no, she did not kill him.

Now, as Mr. Clarkson presents his
evidence in this trial, I want you to be

the lookout for the one piece of
evidence which could prove with

killed Charles Mayron.

The murder weapon.

Now, watch very closely, because Mr.

Clarkson doesn't have this mallet, this
hammer, this blunt object.

Because if he did...

I can prove to you right now what he
already knows.

He has the wrong person.

Your Honor, Tony Canfield. Hi, Tony.
What's up?

Look, I'm sorry to bother you at home,
but I just saw something here that

doesn't quite work for me. Thought I'd
talk to you about it. Sure, sure.

The night of the murder, did you make
any calls to Malin's home or office?

No.

What about your husband?

I doubt it.

Why? I just got the sheet back with all
of Mehran's calls.

It says here there was a two -second
phone call made from your house to

house, just after midnight.

Then, eight seconds later, there's
another call from your house to Mehran's

office.

Yanni, you there?

Yeah. I was just thinking that Alan
probably... I mean, it's possible that

called Charles after I went to bed.

Okay. I'm sorry to bother you. Tell Alan
I may have to speak with him to follow

up, okay?

Oh, sure. No problem. Thanks, Tony.

Good night.

Good night.

What are you doing here?

I've been thinking about you a lot these
last few weeks, and I missed you.

I know that a lot has happened.

And I've done things which I regret.

Things got out of hand.

I need you.

And you need me.

Listen.

I mean, just start all over.

It's just you and me now.

Have you had a good time?

Hey, I can just... I can fix everything.

Gwen?

Don't do this to me.

Don't do this to yourself.

I'm sorry.

Remember that I came for you.

Just remember that.

Because I'm never coming back.

You're on your own.

Mr. Noel, as chief forensics expert,
what evidence was there to suggest that

someone else was present on the night of
the murder?

Well, we found an article of clothing
and other items which indicated a woman

had been in his office that night.

Were you able to lift fingerprints from
the murder scene?

Yes, we were.

Did any of those fingerprints match
those of the defendant, Andrea Tobias?

Yes. They did.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Your witness.

Mr. Noll, have anyone else's
fingerprints found at the scene of the

Yes, there were a few.

And to whom did they belong?

Well, some were never identified.

Others belonged to people who weren't
here in this building.

Such as?

Well, Mr. Mehran's secretary, of course,
and his clerk, and yours, I believe,

and Her Honor's.

Her Honor's?

Yes.

Mr. Knowles, if the presence of
fingerprints at the scene of the crime

this trial is based on, I should be
sitting at that defendant's table, or

honor, or anyone in this city who's been
in Charles Mayron's office in the past

several months.

Objection, counsel. Speech making.

Sustained, Ms. Lewis.

Your Honor, I draw the court's attention
to a piece of evidence marked with a

divot. See the earring found at the
crime scene.

Mr. Noel, is there any indication, any
indication whatsoever, that the earring

in this bag belongs to Andrea Tobias?

Well, there are traces of fingerprints
on the surface of the earring, but as

the tests have been inconclusive.

Please answer the question, Mr. Noel. Is
there any factual indication that

either this earring or the pair of
women's underwear found under Charles

Mehran's sofa belongs to Andrea Tobias?

No, not as yet, no. In point of fact,
Mr. Knowles, this is the most recently

gathered evidence, evidence which I will
present in this courtroom, suggests

that an entirely different woman came to
see Charles Mehron on the night he was

murdered. Your Honor, objection.

Sustained.

Withdrawn.

I'm being set up.

What? I planted my things at the crime
scene.

Sally.

I can't believe you'd do this.

It's what he meant when he said that
he'd done things he wished he could take

back.

That I needed him now.

Yeah. But you were here that night.

With me.

Illicit lovers don't make the best
witnesses.

No.

If this ever went to trial, I'd be eaten
alive.

Prosecution calls Abe Gleeson to the
stand.

Mr. Gleeson, could you describe for us
what you saw take place on that

particular evening?

Well... Just as I started down the
stairs from three, I saw this woman go

Mr. Mehran's office.

Could you describe that woman for us?

She was young, maybe 30 or 40 years old,
a dark hair and a long black

coat. Is that woman here in this
courtroom, Mr. Gleason?

I believe that's her right there.

Let the record show that Mr. Gleason
pointed to the defendant, Andrea Tobias.

Thank you, Mr. Gleason.

No further questions.

I believe that's her right there.

Those are your exact words, Mr. Gleeson.

I believe that's her.

What exactly do you mean by that?

Well, he asked me who I thought it was,
and I said I thought it was this woman

right here.

So you think it was her?

Yes, ma 'am. But you don't know?

Well, like I told her to believe.

If it wasn't her, it was sure somebody
who looked like her. Oh, really?

Objection. Counsel is badgering the
witness.

Overruled. So the woman you saw was
either the defendant or someone who

like the defendant, which, according to
your description, is someone around 30

or 40 with dark hair and a long coat.

30s, 40s, dark hair and long coat?
That's right.

That's wrong, Mr. Clayton.

And a scarf.

Excuse me?

She was wearing a red scarf.

I don't recall you mentioning anything
about a scarf before.

Well, nobody asked me.

Was she wearing it around her neck or
over her head?

She was wearing it up over her head,
like a church bonnet.

Mr. Cleason,

this is the scarf I wore to work today.

Then this was the view of the woman's
face that allowed you to possibly

her as mystified from a stare...

Yes, ma 'am.

No further questions.

Your Honor, Judge Pollan on one.

John. Hi, what can I do for you?

Gwen, I need your feedback on something.
I just found out who's getting your

bench after you moved to the state
court.

Really?

Who's that?

Teresa Lewis.

I hear it sounds like she's putting on a
real show in there.

Yes, she certainly is.

So you don't have a problem with my
giving her an endorsement?

No, that's fine.

Very well, then.

Thanks, Gwen.

What are you doing, Blaine?

I had a headache.

So tell me, Mr. Walcott, at what angle
were the blows to the victim inflicted?

Approximately 70 degrees, which led us
to believe that the assailant... was

several inches shorter than the victim,
who stood 5 '11". Several inches

shorter.

Let the record show that the defendant
is exactly 5 '6". No

further questions, Your Honor.

Court will recess until 1 o 'clock
Monday.

Stacy?

Stacy?

This message from the guy at Michigan?

Did he say what it was regarding?

Uh, no.

Something about an article you had
written for a college poetry journal?

Library? Yes, Lee Walters, please.

Speaking. Yes, this is Judge Warwick,
returning your call. Oh, yes, uh...

I was calling because I managed to
locate another copy of the 75 poetry

That's if you're still looking for
copies of your old articles.

My old articles?

In addition to the one I gave your
assistant when he was here.

The one on Alexander Pope?

When was that?

Last June, according to my sheet. He
said you wanted them for a collection or

something.

What did he look like?

Oh, I don't know.

25 or so, dark hair.

Do you still want me to send them?

No.

No, that won't be nothing.

This guy,

what's his name?

Did he tell you his name?

Alex. Alex something. He said he was the
clerk for Judge McGowan.

And you only saw him this once? Yes. You
haven't seen him since? No.

Did you go to his apartment?

No.

We were at Malone's across the street.

And then we came here.

Did he ask questions about me?

I don't know. Thanks, Stacey. What did
you talk about? What did you talk about?

Did you talk about Charles Mayron?

Did he ask about Mayron and me?

About the rumors?

He might have. Thanks, Stacey.

Did you talk about the rumors?

I don't normally gossip.

Lieutenant, it's Judge Warwick.

I need you to get somebody to the corner
of Cass and Howard right away. There's

a warehouse building on the corner on
the second floor.

Damn it, Lieutenant, help me out here.
I'll explain when I get there.

What's this all about?

I'm sorry, I made a mistake.

It's the last cell.

I don't remember his name.

Do you still have his lease?

There's no lease. Cash up front each
month.

So you don't have a job application
form?

Social security number or anything?

Not for volunteering.

Hey, Lieutenant.

Something down here.

Come on,

that's enough. Get out of here. Let's
go.

I know it's here.

Anybody looking here yet?

And what about State v. Sloan?

That's certain to come up during your
confirmation hearings.

I would have voted to overturn it.

I can back it up with an argument.

I'm called upon to do so.

Very well.

You're going to do all right.

So, is that the last of them?

Pretty much, yeah.

Except for one case that I've been
reviewing for a couple of weeks now that

I don't know how I would respond.

What kind of case is it?

Murder.

Indiana case.

Involving a cop who claims he was framed
but doesn't know the name of the person

who's framing him or why.

And he came forward to the police as
soon as he realized he was being set up.

Maine versus Edmonds, Greer. New York
versus Greer.

Texas versus Adams.

No, those aren't really the same.

In each of those cases, the defendant
knew the person who was setting them up.

And why? In this case, the cop doesn't
know the real name of the person who's

framing him.

And, in fact, can't...

Prove that the guy exists.

Well, premeditated framing cases are
pretty rare.

Because they take too damn much thought.

How strong was the evidence?

Circumstantial, but strong.

Here you go.

Florida versus Cadiz.

IBM salesman charged with killing his
mistress. The guy claimed his wife

him to get back at the two of them.

Well, that's not the same either.

The wife's motive was clear.

The wife was dead.

Drowned in a boating accident six months
before the murder.

Let me guess.

They never found the body.

Yep. The husband claimed she faked her
death so that she could frame him later.

What happened?

The defense had no one to blame.

They had no case.

The guy had a clean record, but he got
life.

I want you to go down and pull every one
of my cases where the defendant was

found guilty.

But I could take days. I want them
tomorrow.

The poetry was found open next to the
body of Charles Mayron on the night of

murder. As Mr. Mayron's law clerk, you
interacted with him on a daily basis,

correct? Yes, that's correct.

Did you ever see this book before the
night of the murder?

No.

Was Charles Mayron...

A man who was fond of reading poetry.

Was Charles Mehron the kind of man who
generally saw one woman on a blue

-toothed face?

Was Charles Mehron involved in any other
relationship that you were aware of?

I've heard things.

In your opinion, do you think it's
possible that someone other than the

defendant could have brought that...

Your Honor, no further questions.

Lieutenant, what a surprise.

Your Honor.

I want to ask you a few questions.

Have a seat.

How well did you know Charles Mayron?

Pretty well, I suppose.

Started my career with him in the
prosecutor's office.

Were you aware of his relationship with
Andrea Tobias?

Not until her arrest, no.

Were you aware of his relationships with
any other women?

No. You sure of that?

Charles Mayron was a chronic flirt,
Lieutenant.

There were rumors linking him with every
woman in the Detroit legal community.

Including yourself?

Yes. Were you having an affair with
Charles Mayron at the time of his

Poetic literature

So many to make time for, inscription
reads.

Mr. Whetton, you've done a complete
handwriting analysis on the inscription

this book.

That's correct.

And based on this analysis, what does
the handwriting style indicate about the

person who wrote it?

The looping motion indicates a
confident, dominant person. Most likely

Someone who's in a position of power,
like an executive or an administrator.

Objection. The witness is not a psychic.

Your Honor.

Objection.

Sorry.

Objection sustained.

In your opinion, Mr. Whetton, is this
handwriting at all similar to that of

defendant? This isn't a large copy of
the inscription.

And this is Mrs. Tobias' handwriting.

In my opinion, there is no way that
inscription could have been written by

Tobias. That inscription must have been
written by another woman.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Court will recess until 8 .30 Thursday
morning.

Your Honor, this authorization form just
came in to add Doug Whetton to our

witness list.

It has to be signed, of course.

Ms. Lewis, can I see you?

Sure, I'll be right with you.

Thanks.

Let me meet you outside.

Lieutenant Curtis, have you learned the
identity of the second woman?

We found the murder weapon.

We've redoubled our efforts to look for
the murder weapon, and I'm confident

that sooner or later, we won't find it.

That's all for now.

Halfway through the murder trial of
Andrea Tobias, there is a new

and it is not here at the courthouse.
Police today started looking for a

woman. A woman, police say, was in the
office of prosecuting attorney Charles

Bayron the night of his murder. How that
woman or this investigation will affect

the trial is not yet known. More details
on the news at 11.

Turning to national news.

It was you, Gwen.

I know it was.

You don't know what you're talking
about.

You were here that night.

So were you.

Yes.

We both were.

I'm sorry.

Jesus Christ.

I have to talk with you.

Some weird things have been coming down,
Your Honor.

I thought you should know about them.

A couple of days ago, we got a call from
somebody in Curtis's office requesting

a file on you.

No one would tell me what it was about,
but I could tell. By the way, it was

requested. It just wasn't right.

And yesterday, somebody down here met
this old woman who claimed she was

run over by a car.

just after the time of the murder.

It was a Cadillac, a black one.

And I remembered this thing with the
phone records.

Calls were made from your house exactly
30 minutes before the janitor saw the

woman in the maintenance office.

I made that drive this morning.

27 minutes, 16 seconds.

What are you saying? I'm not saying
anything.

Just that this whole damn thing's become
real secretive all of a sudden nobody's

talking to me about it Just wanted you
to know

All rise.

In light of evidence brought before this
court, particularly the refuted

testimony of the prosecution's key
witness, Mr. Gleason.

I hereby declare a mistrial in the
matter of State v. Tobias.

It is quite clear,

Ms. Tobias, that the charges brought
against you in these proceedings were

unfounded and should never have taken
place.

The court is truly sorry for any
embarrassment that this may have caused

You are free to go.

The court is now adjourned.

I can understand if this is something
that you don't want to tell me about.

A guy from my study group just called.

He's the clerk for an assistant in the
prosecutor's office.

He was just asked to type up an arrest
warrant.

It was for you.

I told him that obviously there was some
kind of a mistake, but he insisted it

was going to be served.

Tomorrow.

Your Honor?

Your Honor?

I'm disappointed in you, Gwen.

I never imagined it would take you this
long.

Don't hurt me.

Hurt you?

You think I came here to hurt you?

I could have killed you.

A hundred different times.

He used to lie awake in bed, thinking of
all the things that could go wrong.

The dull thing.

So simple.

So easy.

Are you wearing this, Glenn?

Are you wearing this?

You look my father in the eyes, and you
ordered his death.

And you proved to them that you weren't
soft?

You're hurting me.

I can't hurt you, Gwen.

Because you don't know pain.

Pain is being caged like an animal with
nothing to do but count the days until

your death.

Your father killed your mother.

What about her pain?

My mother was a whore.

She deserved to die.

A whore?

Just like you?

You liked it so much, didn't you?

Graphically calculated.

Getting to my house, making the phone
calls.

Getting down to the courthouse, back to
the loft in time. Every second was

accounted for.

I was tailor -made for him.

Do you have anything that belongs to
him?

Anything that could prove you spent any
time together?

There were a couple of notes. I didn't
keep them.

Well, I don't have to tell you what's
going to happen.

You can tell the whole world that you
were set up and that this guy had the

perfect motive.

But if that gavel turns up with your
fingerprints on it, I don't know what to

say.

All cars get off with.

Look, Martin knows damn well if he were
somehow to find that gavel before the

cops did, there'd be no case.

Why wouldn't he have... Planted it at
the emergency.

You would have been arrested the next
day.

That would have been too painless.

He wanted to watch me as the noose got
tighter and tighter.

Then he has to still be watching to see
if you do find it before the police.

He can't let you destroy it and walk
away clean.

He's just at your office.

No.
