Yeah. Come on.

Oh, yep, sweetheart.

Sweetheart?

Good morning, Tom.

Looking good.

Nice butt -huggers, Jimbo.

Getting ready for your GQ fashion shoot?

You'd be the person in line for an
autographed cop.

Level four?

Thank you very much. I'm warming up. Is
that

your

old friend there?

For the second time in three years,
fashion designer Madeline Landon.

suspected of murdering a younger lover.

I haven't seen her since... You got her
acquitted of killing boy toy number one?

Because she didn't do it.

Would you wear those shorts today in
case she called?

No, just for you.

Oh.

Yeah, I just heard.

Are you not hearing me, Hector? We lost
a model last night, as in dead,

deceased. Capisce?

Jimmy.

I'm glad you're here.

Are you all right?

Who could it be?

Did you talk to the police?

A little bit after I called 911.

I found them out here, just like the
last time.

It's the same nightmare over and over.

Mother, they're giving us till Tuesday
for the proofs.

Javier, please.

Fine.

I'll deal with it.

Just tell me what happened, Madeline.

We had a party for the launch of the
spring line.

There were a lot of people going in and
out, all over.

And I went to sleep at 1.

I woke up an hour later, and he wasn't
there. So I came out to look for him.

And he was floating in the pool.

I tried CPR, but I couldn't save him.

It shouldn't rest for him. But they're
going to let me bring you in.

Ryan Orton with a 23 -year -old from
Sandusky, Ohio.

We'll remind the world that you were a
single mother who once depended on food

stamps. And in a jealous rage, assaulted
a young man who trusted her with his

dream of becoming a professional mom.

A dream he achieved under your guidance.

We have witnesses who tell us she was
ending their romantic relationship.

She was charged with killing another
young lover three years ago.

A charge for which she was acquitted.

Looks like the DA's office alerted the
media.

Jimmy! Jimmy!

Get off the field! We're sending the
killer to her again!

Hey, check the constitution.

She's not a killer unless the jury says
so.

Can the DA's office win this time? We
believe the facts are going to speak for

themselves.

Smooth move, counselor.

Jimmy, you know you love the press.

What can I say? I see my blood.

You're saying?

The Emmy reports

that Ryan Orton drowned and he had a
prominent contusion on the back of his

head. You have missed the spot.

So she brained him and he fell in the
pool.

The judge let her out on bail.

Maybe he liked her legs.

Forensics? CSU collected pieces of the
shattered vase. No blood or hair on

They were in chlorinated water. But
Madeline Landon's fingerprints were on

That's good. Talk screen on the victim?

Negative for drugs or alcohol.

Well, that'll make it harder for Jimmy
to argue accidental drowning.

Witnesses say that the fight began when
Ryan's ex -girlfriend showed up at the

party. Well, jealousy equals motive.

Come to mama.

Make that pop.

I know.

I'm taking the case. Why?

I prosecuted Miss Landon the last time
she killed a playmate. You lost, right?

Sorry.

You're right. I lost.

And a murderer went free. And that is
not going to happen again. But I think

that maybe a female prosecutor might
have a better shot. I know the

know the crime. I know Jimmy Brogan's
moves.

No surprises this time.

The smoke and mirrors will not work.

Is this a good time?

Tucker?

New York's 20 hottest lawyers?

A feature in the Manhattan Eye magazine.
Congratulations, you are one of them.

That's huge. It's also moronic and
undignified and sexist. And a personal

to the district attorney, he's tired of
seeing only defense attorneys in there

every year. He thinks this will be great
recruitment.

Well, then tell him to pose in the
stupid magazine.

You do not want to see that man in
heels.

Chad, let's go. We have to cross Jimmy
Brogan. The victim's ex -girlfriend is

here.

And you, go home.

Take a shower.

I told him I was coming to bring him
home.

We went together off and on since high
school.

Brenda, I know this is difficult.

But are you sure that Ryan wanted to be
brought home?

Yes. He almost came back last year.

Before he got involved with her.

Her being Madeline Lannan.

She said she was going to make him a
star. She was just using him. He didn't

even want to be a model, really. He just
didn't want to go into the appliances

business with his father.

That's understandable.

He started calling me again.

I came to New York. I went straight to
that party. Ryan told me where it was.

Madeline started talking.

She got really mad. She told me to
leave.

What did Ryan say?

He said he was coming home with me.

That he wanted a normal life.

And Madeline got hysterical.

So Ryan told me to leave.

He said he'd handle her and that he'd
see me in the morning.

The vase was on that ledge there.

And the flowers got dumped out on the
deck there.

Where did the vase end up?

Everywhere.

pieces on the deck, pieces in the pool.

She do it the same way last time?

No, last time she smothered the victim.

Then she rolled him in the pool.

Ah.

Well, she walked.

A close case.

That's too bad.

I'm sure you'd do a better job than the
last guy.

Ryan was straight. It was qualified him
to be Madeline's flavor of the month.

He got the love and the cover of the
catalog.

While the rest of us just stood around
looking pretty in the background.

Ryan's dead. I think you can give that a
rest.

I thought we were going with the yellow.

You decided?

Your mother likes these.

I'm going to call her.

He's got some pretty big shoes to fill.

Were either of you at the party when
Ryan's ex showed up?

Total cat fight.

Madeline wanted her to clear out. Did
you hear what she said?

It was kind of late.

By then, things were a little blurry.

I passed out on the chaise lounge.

Ooh.

I can borrow that body for a week.
There's a couple women I definitely

close on.

You can borrow my body anytime you'd
like.

I need a cupcake.

Are you sure you can afford the extra
calories?

I mean, for the photo shoot. Oh, I'm not
doing that. Yes, you are.

You know, I heard that you might draw
Judge Feldman.

She bags at least two court interns
every summer. Yes, I know. She and

Landon probably share a room at the
annual Cougar Convention.

Oh, yeah, which reminds me. How's your
musician boyfriend doing?

Almost 30. And not dead at the bottom of
the pool.

Another tragic accident.

Look, you couldn't make a homicide last
time. Prepare to fail again.

Injustice never rules forever.

Well, Katie throws out egghead quotes
all the time. I still kick her ass. I'm

standing right here.

Quotations. Quote is a verb.

So is loose.

Huh. Let's see what the office... Oh,
this testosterone is killing my

Kill me, bud.

So, I hear you're one of the 20 hottest
lawyers.

Um, more like 19 self -promoting
narcissists and one way out of race 88.

18 self -promoting narcissists, please.
I consider myself more of a fashion

pragmatist. You're doing it, too?

It's all part of the game.

Come on, you never wear a short skirt to
win a motion from a troglodyte judge.

No.

Yes. So I'm hitting a sample sale
tomorrow if you're interested.

I don't really do shopping.

The perfect time to start.

38 and 5th. I'm according to bring your
plastic.

Another slow day on the assignment,
Desmaria?

Family size must be a big favor.

Oh, what?

Can't an old friend stop by and say hi?

Judge Feldman served on the charitable
board of Madeline Landon. I think it

she not serve that case.

And I think I should be three inches
taller, but life is a bitch.

What do you need?

Your ADAs, they're playing hardball on
plea bargains.

Hence, the ugly log jam you see before
you.

I could talk to some people.

Well, you do that.

And we wouldn't want to put Judge
Feldman in an awkward position.

There's the thought.

Hi.

Hey.

You judge shopping?

Feldman had a conflict. What? She and
the defendant live in the same

Jimmy could demand an investigation.

Let him bring it on.

Let him bring it on?

Edge, this is not about you and Jimmy.
No, it isn't.

Three years ago, Madeline Landon killed
a 22 -year -old kid because she wanted

to break up with him. And she got away
with it because I failed to win a

conviction. And now she has killed a kid
for the exact same reason. She killed

him. You didn't. Well, let me put it
this way.

I'm going to see to it that she never
gets to kill anyone else. And that means

defeating Jimmy Brogan.

Speaking of the devil, eh?

There you go.

The next time you go to judge, though.

Did you want something?

Not me. I'm a giver.

A little surprise for you in the back.

It's not too late to drop the case.

Might look better on your record than
losing.

Twice.

On the news.

Lawyers in the Killer Cougar case were
felt as if... Oh!

Killer Cougar.

A 45 -year -old woman dating a younger
man was an automatic suspect, but a 45

-year -old man dating a younger woman
was hardly noticed.

It's not that Madeline Landon's
boyfriends are young. It's that they die

brother. The first one got drunk and
drowned today. His blood alcohol was

So why was she charged with murder?

Edge argued that he passed out drunk.

and that Madeline suffocated him before
tossing him into the pool, there were

marks around his mouth characteristic of
suffocating. Or by aggressive attempts

at CPR, which Madeline performed. So
it's like this case, the contusion on

victim's head. Could have been caused by
Madeline swinging a vase. Or by Ryan

Orton stumbling and cracking his head on
the side of the pool.

The tox cream is negative for drugs and
alcohol.

It's always clumsy.

A clumsy runway model?

Nobody said it was any good.

Look, call Craig Prentiss, our expert
pathologist, and have him re -examine

Ryan's body and give us a scenario of
his death that doesn't include Madeline

Landon. And find that ex -girlfriend of
his, the one that Madeline supposedly

had a fight with.

Jimmy.

What? Let's just be careful this time.

Careful about what?

Nothing. Let's get to work.

Would you like a drink?

I'm working.

Fill them all, one cube.

Look, we're going to be hearing a lot
about this fight that you supposedly had

with Ryan and his ex -girlfriend, Brenda
Stiles.

One -way fight.

She called me a bitch, a slut, and a
whore, and I asked her to leave.

Are you threatening her or Ryan?

No. My son was there, he can tell you.

Well, he's on our witness list.

Anyway, why would I? The girl left.

And Ryan wasn't going to leave me for
Miss Ohio State Fair. That's not what he

wanted. What did he want?

He wanted to be a star.

And I could make him one.

He was using me, and I knew it, but he
liked me.

I liked him.

I'm past expecting Prince Charming to
show up, no strings attached.

I'm fine with a low -maintenance
relationship.

Remember?

Let's just think about how we're going
to win this case.

I'm getting a sample sale tomorrow, if
you're interested.

I don't really do shopping so well.

Perfect time to start.

Thirty -eight and fifth.

Bring your plastic, too.

I got this.

Thank you.

Oh, you're still here.

I'll see you at the office.

The hot 20.

Yeah, Women's Law Society can see you
now. You're just jealous because you

made the lukewarm 1 ,000.

Look, I know wardrobe's an issue and
money might be tight.

And I know how much you like these butt
-huggers.

Here you go.

For you.

Yeah.

Donner.

All right, I'm on my way.

Oh, so don't forget.

I'd love to be counting.

Wait. You don't have to talk to you.
Brenda, I know you're upset, but

very sorry about what happened to Ryan.
She isn't.

That woman, she had him so confused.

Back home, he never drank more than two
beers. He liked to see the world fresh

and clear.

And then he comes here and he starts
being with her and drinking and taking

drugs. And I know about you. You're the
one who got her up the last time she

killed somebody.

So if it wasn't for you, Ryan would be
alive.

How do you live with yourself?

Emotional girl.

I wonder how she'd react at the party if
Ryan told her to get back on the bus to

send us.

And we can't come on the head with a
date?

Worth checking out.

Something on your mind?

She said about Madeline.

The first murder she was accused of, has
that ever crossed her mind?

Oh, that too. Alejo.

I'm not guilty.

My friends just said mine was taking
drugs.

The Emmy's talk screen came up clean.

You know, a heart pathologist runs his
own talk screen.

Super deluxe model.

All right.

It's not too late to drop the case.

It might look better on your record than
losing it. Twice.

Want to have dinner?

I see you've been taking your
overconfidence pills again.

My experts report on Ryan Orton's body.
The night he died, he was chock full of

Natalol. That's a prescription muscle
relaxant that the beautiful people use

calm their jangled nerves.

So Ryan was calm when your client
clobbered him with a vase.

Or he was so stoned that he tripped,
knocked over the vase, smacked his head

the deck, and rolled into the pool. The
amount of drugs in his system, that's

about the only thing he could have done.

You move, counselor.

How does your post -mortem miss the
presence of a pharmaceutical drug?

Natalol requires a special workup. The
standard screen for a drowning victim is

for narcotics and alcohol.

Well, this isn't really a standard
drowning victim. You remember what

last time. Defense counsel turned our
homicide into an accident. Madeline

Landon, she walked free. Let me tell you
something.

Craig Prentiss, he's a whore, okay? He'd
tell you Michael Jackson died of a head

cold if you paid him. The defense is
paying him.

Look, okay, your victim took some pills,
got whacked in the head, and drowned.

Or somebody slipped in the stuff to make
the job easier. I don't know. Either

way, it's a homicide.

What do you think?

It's lovely.

It's Madeline Landon.

Oh, for God's sake.

What else?

You should try this song.

How are you getting along with the
client?

Oh, I kind of feel sorry for her.

Although she does work the dance and
distress thing pretty hard. Well, Jimmy

doesn't seem to mind.

So, what's up with you two? I mean, if
you don't mind me asking, you know, I

sent, um...

Energy. Energy?

Not energy.

You know, we're friends.

Did he say something?

No, no. I mean, that looks so great on
you.

People versus Molyneux?

Just a little light reading.

Great mind.

Beautiful. That's very pretty.

People vs. Mono allows the admission of
similar past bad acts into evidence at

trial. The circumstances of the death of
the defendant's previous lover

establishes a pattern.

Jealousy of the motivation, death by
drowning... Landon was acquitted in the

case. To bring it into evidence would
prejudice the jury and be grossly

People vs. Sharp stressed that the
evidence currently charged should be the

evidence considered barring
extraordinary circumstances.

Two young men in the defendant's employ,
both of them her lovers, both of them

having threatened to leave her. Not
proved.

Absolutely not proved. prove both of
them drowned in the exact same pool.

if that is not a pattern... It's a
similarity, I'll grant you that.

But it does not rise to the level of a
unique signature.

And we must give way to Ms. Landon's
previous acquittal.

The death of the first young man cannot
be mentioned in this trial.

Thank you.

What the hell are you smiling at? Oh,
you lot. Okay, bummer. But prepare to be

happy. I've been through the records of
Landon Couture. Did you know that the

Flores bill comes to two grand a month?
Chad. Right. So for the past four years,

the company has been purchasing Nanolol
under the category refreshments and

catering. And you wanted a fire.

And the prescription is in Madeline
Landon's name.

Don't.

I did.

What?

I want to fire you.

That's okay.

Going down.

Actually, you are.

Okay.

All right. Let's go. Out of here,
everyone. Out, out, out. Come on. Come

Let's go. What is it?

Do you have a prescription for the drug
that helped kill your boyfriend?

What? Natalaw.

Does that sound familiar?

Um, yeah, the model called them
smoothers. It helps prevent anxiety on

runway. And Ryan used to pop them like
candy.

It's standard industry practice. Well,
it stops being standard industry

when said pills end up inside a corpse
floating in your penthouse pool.

I'm sorry, but if you give Ryan those
pills, prosecutors are going to claim

you did it to make him easier to kill. I
never killed Ryan. Why don't you check

out that old girlfriend of his? Because
when they broke up in Ohio, she was

stalking him and he had to get a court
order. He told me that.

Okay, well, that's good to know. Yeah.

You don't think I'm guilty, do you?

Next time I wear a super deluxe
touchscreen, run it on me.

Edge's case was so weak until I handed
him a smoking gun. With Madeline's

all over it. So we argue Ryan took this
stuff recreationally. We paint him as a

party boy. Right. Took too many drugs,
stumbled, and drunk.

Madeline drugged Ryan so he couldn't
fight back when she smacked him with the

vase. Note to self, don't break up with
Madeline Lannan, especially near a pool.

Ryan accidentally overdosed and he
bumped his head.

Then he bled. And he didn't get up in
the morning.

Even if Ryan was attacked, it wasn't by
Madeline. It was Brenda Stiles, his

stalker ex -girlfriend.

Even if Ryan took the drug himself, we
argue that it just left him more

vulnerable to Madeline's attack.

Ryan Orton was an innocent kid
victimized by a predatory older woman.

Ryan Orton was a predatory kid taking
advantage of an older woman.

Ready, Counselor?

The

hematoma

on the victim's skull is the type of
injury that's caused by being struck by

heavy object.

I show you People's Exhibit 14, shards
of broken vase from Madeline Landon's

swimming pool.

Now, in your expert opinion, could this
vase have caused the injury to Ryan

Orton's skull?

Absolutely. Yeah.

Could the judge's gavel have caused that
injury to Ryan Orton's skull?

It swung hard enough, I suppose so,
yeah. What if I ripped the railing off

witness box and swung that at Mr.
Orton's skull?

Well, no gavels or witness boxes were
found in the adjacent swimming pool. But

the concrete lip of the pool was there,
wasn't it?

Yeah, but it didn't leap up and strike
Mr. Orton.

There's no way a falling 200 -pound man
could have struck that and caused that

injury. That is highly unlikely.

But not impossible.

Impossible?

No.

Ryan and I met in our 10th grade English
class.

We did a term paper together on Lord of
the Flies.

We were going to get married.

But weren't you once cited in Ohio for
stalking him?

That was just a misunderstanding.

Ryan withdrew the complaint the next
day.

When did you become aware of his
relationship with Madeleine Landon?

A few months ago.

The city confused Ryan, and she took
advantage.

But at the party that night, he told her
that he was coming back home with me.

How did Miss Landon react?

She got hysterical. I was scared.

Ryan told me to leave.

I never even got to say goodbye.

So, Ryan was confused?

Yes. When he was having sex with Ms.
Landon, he thought, what, he was

birdwatching on Staten Island?

No. And when she gave him modeling jobs,
he thought he was working on a

railroad? I don't know what you're
talking about.

Was she taking advantage of him, or was
he taking advantage of her?

Ryan wouldn't do that. No?

And you just said that Ryan told you to
leave that party? Just so he could clear

things up with her. Well, it sounds like
he was clearing things up with you.

Objection. Sustained. He didn't want
her. He wanted me.

She's old enough to be his mother. It's
wrong.

It's just wrong.

The people call Javier Landon.

Objection. Mr. Landon isn't on the
prosecution's witness list. This

just came to us, Your Honor. And he is
on the defense's witness list, so Mr.

Brogan should be prepared for cross
-examination.

Objection. So rude.

People may proceed.

Mother's always dated younger men.

Every season she seemed to connect with
one of the models.

And did these younger men get
preferential treatment over the other

Not necessarily.

Mother usually picked one who was
talented.

How talented was Ryan Orton?

He had potential.

And yet, he landed the cover of the
Landon Couture catalog.

Who made the selection?

My mother.

Did you see your mother fight with Ryan
Orton the night of the party?

She's my mother. I shouldn't have to
answer this. Your Honor. Miss Landon,

will answer the question and be held in
contempt?

Yes.

What did she say?

She can be very emotional. She'd had a
few drinks. What did she say?

If you ever see that bitch again, I'll
kill you.

Where the hell did that come from?

I'm sorry, but it was the truth.

All right, guys, easy.

Well, he just threw you under a bus.
Well, you know, it's a complicated

relationship. He wants to be in the
family business, and he doesn't have the

eye, and he feels overlooked.

We lied about what you said?

No, I said it. I lost my temper.

Well, for God's sakes, Madeline, is
there anything else you haven't told me?

really.

Your client was questioned in the death
of a young man in 98. This makes three.

All those boyfriends with same age as
her son, got to be some issues there,

right? Buy you a paper?

I demand a mistrial.

If I was losing as badly as you are, I
demand one too. After you excluded any

mention of my client's previous arrest,
he leaked prejudicial information about

her presumed role in some ancient third
crime, a matter for which she was

briefly questioned, never prosecuted,
never charged.

Any reporter with a decent search engine
could have found that information.

Wrong. The information was never
published, which means it came from a

file. I'll go after the police.

Mr. Edgecombe, do you deny this leak
came from you? I have never communicated

any way with a reporter who wrote that
story.

That's not a denial. And I'm not
inclined to launch an inquisition.

I've already instructed the jury not to
read news about the trial. And I will

repeat that warning today.

Which will only alert them that there's
something to read.

As for you, Mr. Edgecombe, if any other
suspect material shows up in the press,

you will be held in contempt.

You're on.

Natalol works by relaxing blood vessels
and slowing heart rate.

In large quantities, it can slow heart
rate all the way to zero.

Well, how much of the drug did you find
in Ryan Orton's body?

Ten milligrams per milliliter. Enough to
render him unconscious.

And if he were standing up, could it
make him fall?

Like a rock.

We've heard testimony that Mr. Orton's
head injury was caused by being struck

a heavy object. Highly doubtful.

If he was struck forcefully, I'd expect
to see a contra -two injury, where the

brain is bounced forward into the skull.
His brain injury is in the rear,

suggesting he fell and hit his head.

Your testimony here today, you were
charging the defense $5 ,000. Is that

correct? Yes.

I have no further questions.

I think I've got to put Madeline on the
stand.

Too much?

Way. No.

The men in the jury are looking
sympathetic. Number six looks like he's

propose.

Well, the women want to lynch her.

Madeline is a good person.

You just need to see it.

She needs to be careful what she says so
Edge can't open up her past on cross.

So I'll prep her within an inch of her
life.

How are you two getting along?

I'm straight and narrow.

Scott's on her.

What is it?

Hi, boy.

Edge leaking that old case to the press?
Yeah, no comment.

Is it too late to leave?

Think of it this way. Some young girl
will be out there and she might read the

magazine and be inspired to go to law
school one day. Jump out a window.

Nina Kincaid made the Hot 20? She makes
it every year. Her husband owns the

magazine. So much for justice.

Meritocracy is dead.

Ready to vote?

important thing is to not make any
general statements about your past,

relationships, what a peaceable soul
you've always been.

I understand.

You need to be friendly, but not coming
on. Strong, but not cold.

Just a successful woman, isolated by her
success, looking for love.

In all the wrong places.

I didn't mean that.

That's alright, Jimmy. I'll read the
papers.

In clawing my way to the top, I
sacrificed my son, my relationships.

I'm a monster.

Nobody thinks you're a monster.

To me, my own son doesn't care if he
hangs me.

Am I going to die in prison?

No, you're not.

It's going to be okay.

Did Jimmy redo this place again?

Is that a pool table?

I'll just grab my bag and then drinks
are on me.

Katie.

Nothing happened.

We're making out.

With her client?

Technically, she kissed me. In front of
the prosecution?

It wasn't my idea to bring Catherine
Keillor in the middle of the night. So

is my fault? No.

I'm sorry.

Damn it, Jimmy.

You promised me that this wasn't going
to happen again.

Again?

I had a small dalliance with Madeline
three years ago. Did you dally her while

actively representing her? Of course
not.

It was several weeks later.

Oh, perfect.

Can we crucify me later?

Right now we got a case to win. You
cannot, cannot put Madeline on the

Catherine tells Edge what she saw and
Edge brings it up during cross... It'll

confirm Madeline's image as a predatory
sex pop that sleeps with anything that

moves. So that would be me.

Apparently. Okay, this is only a problem
if Catherine tells Edge. Lena, what'd

she say last night?

Not a word.

She just ran out.

I thought she saw a rat.

Is your next witness ready, Mr. Brogan?

The defense calls Madeline Landon.

I knew my relationship with Ryan
couldn't last.

But I felt good with him.

We both liked horror movies and Willie
Nelson.

I was very fond of him.

Did you ever see him use drugs?

Yes.

He took these pills called smoothers all
the time. He said they mellowed him

out.

I tried to get him to stop, but he was
23.

With all due respect, Miss Landon, why
did you date a 23 -year -old?

There aren't a lot of single men in my
age range.

And on my job, I'm surrounded by young
men.

How did you feel when Ryan Orton told
you he was going back to Ohio with his

girlfriend?

He never said that. That was a lie.

And your son, was he lying, too, when he
said that you threatened Ryan Orton's

life? He was exaggerating.

I'm sorry to say, but my son has
problems.

Our relationship has problems.

Brian Orton gave you sex.

You made him a top model, right?

I was fond of him, and he was fond of
me. You say you date younger men

because that's whom you meet every day.

Are we therefore to conclude that you
sleep with whomever crosses your path?

Objection!

Overruled.

Of course not. I mean, if the feeling
strikes you, do you not just have sex

the nearest useful man,

regardless of any impropriety? No.

So you don't see anything wrong with
dating an employee?

Whom you then promote.

Not if the relationship is based in
genuine affection.

Genuine affection.

All right.

Then let's talk again about the night
and the events that surround Ryan

death.

What is the quality of your intent?

Justice Thurgood Marshall, he posed this
question. He believed that people's

true intentions, they always come out in
the end.

Madeleine Landon?

is a sexual predator.

The city confused Ryan and she took
advantage.

When Ryan Orton told her that he was
leaving her, according to her own son,

threatened Ryan's life.

If you ever see that bitch again, I'll
kill you.

Miss Landon was alone with the victim.
Her fingerprints were on the smashed

vase. The wound at the back of Mr.
Orton's head was the type of injury

caused by being struck by a heavy
object.

This is Ryan Horton.

He did not get to see his 24th birthday.

Give him justice.

The prosecution hasn't even proved this
is a homicide, let alone that my client

is a murderer.

I mean, the victim had taken a
substantial amount of illegal drugs.

Enough to render him unconscious.

I know some of you may not like...

Madeline Landon's romantic choices.

But that is not the issue here before
you. Mr. Edgecombe quoted Justice

Marshall. What is the quality of your
intent?

Excellent question.

Your intent must not be to judge my
client's lifestyle, but to judge whether

prosecution has proved her guilty of
this crime.

If you do, you will find her not guilty.

Answer me one question.

All right.

You going to keep the little brogan in
your pants from now on?

Yeah, for sure.

Verdict's in.

Will the defendant please rise?

Mr. Foreman, have you reached the
verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

On the charge of murder in the second
degree, we find the defendant, Madeline

Landon, guilty.

Jeff, what you said about me and Jimmy.

I did.

I wanted to beat him. Well, so his
client couldn't kill anybody else,

Right.

The new Landon Couture catalog?

Madeline's supervisor while she was out
on bail?

So? Yeah.

I know this guy.

I interviewed him at Madeline's
penthouse.

You didn't tell him?

You didn't tell Edge that you saw me in
the mail?

You were immature, irresponsible, and
unethical.

But I decided that if your client was
going to be convicted, it should be for

murder, not for making out with her
stupid lawyer.

You're letting me off easy.

Well, somebody has to protect your
reputation even if you don't care about

And besides, we won.

Those would be? Nothing.

Look at that.

New York's 20 hottest lawyers.

I didn't even look at it yet. You look
good.

You're showing some leg. And I like it.
You're making love to the camera. Like I

said, show me that pose.

I like it.

You're gay.

No kidding.

You're on the cover of the catalog.

And you're gay.

You keep mentioning that.

Are you thinking of switching teams?

Madeline always put her boyfriends on
the cover. They traded sex for fame.

What did you trade?

How do you know I'm not just good?

You told me you passed out in the chair
at the party.

Maybe you saw something.

Maybe you told Madeline you wouldn't
tell if she helped you out.

I just want to know.

The case is over. We won.

Yeah. I saw Madeline being Ryan with the
vase.

We pulled him out of the pool, but he
was gone.

Madeline said if I kept my mouth shut,
she'd make it worth my while.

Seriously?

You kept quiet about a murder to advance
your career as a male model?

And you thought I was just another
pretty face?
