1
00:00:02,002 --> 00:00:03,437
(elevator bell dings)

2
00:00:32,166 --> 00:00:33,167
Happy Birthday!

3
00:00:33,234 --> 00:00:34,302
Excellent birthday cake.

4
00:00:38,439 --> 00:00:40,508
WOMAN: District Attorney's
office-- may I help you?

5
00:00:44,745 --> 00:00:46,147
Excuse me...
can I help you?

6
00:00:47,348 --> 00:00:49,750
( screaming )

7
00:00:51,752 --> 00:00:53,387
( shouting )

8
00:01:03,964 --> 00:01:06,334
( alarm blaring )

9
00:01:08,102 --> 00:01:09,970
( gasping )

10
00:01:14,208 --> 00:01:17,411
Hi... you okay?

11
00:01:17,478 --> 00:01:19,613
Yeah, yeah.

12
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,115
No... I'm-I'm okay.

13
00:01:21,182 --> 00:01:22,616
You sure?

14
00:01:22,683 --> 00:01:25,619
Yeah, I'm sure.

15
00:02:15,703 --> 00:02:17,971
Bridge, come on!
You have to eat.

16
00:02:18,572 --> 00:02:20,274
Bridgette, move it!

17
00:02:20,341 --> 00:02:21,509
I have to get to Hannah's,

18
00:02:21,575 --> 00:02:24,178
and Marie has to
get to day care!

19
00:02:24,245 --> 00:02:25,279
Bridgette!

20
00:02:25,346 --> 00:02:27,215
But I don't understand.

21
00:02:27,281 --> 00:02:29,717
Mommy said we were going
to the park today.

22
00:02:29,783 --> 00:02:31,419
I don't know what
to tell you, kiddo.

23
00:02:31,485 --> 00:02:32,953
Mommy got a call
early this morning

24
00:02:33,020 --> 00:02:34,355
and she had to rush to work.

25
00:02:34,422 --> 00:02:35,689
So you're coming
to the office with me.

26
00:02:35,756 --> 00:02:37,791
But why can't I go
with Ariel?

27
00:02:39,260 --> 00:02:40,361
Because you're not invited.

28
00:02:40,428 --> 00:02:41,995
Because I'm going
to Hannah's

29
00:02:42,062 --> 00:02:44,031
and Hannah and I are going
to dance class together.

30
00:02:44,097 --> 00:02:45,566
-I'm in the car.
-( door shuts )

31
00:02:45,633 --> 00:02:47,034
BRIDGETTE:
But that's not fair.

32
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:51,405
How come school gets canceled
for teachers' conferences

33
00:02:51,472 --> 00:02:52,873
but not dance class?

34
00:02:52,940 --> 00:02:56,143
Probably to torture those of us
who have to entertain you

35
00:02:56,210 --> 00:02:58,011
and drive you
from place to place.

36
00:02:58,078 --> 00:02:59,547
MAN:
The death

37
00:02:59,613 --> 00:03:01,449
of Amy Bannister is a tragedy.

38
00:03:01,515 --> 00:03:04,117
But the facts are the facts:

39
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:07,421
Ms. Bannister, after an evening
of drinking and drugging,

40
00:03:07,488 --> 00:03:11,692
chose to accompany my client
back to his apartment.

41
00:03:11,759 --> 00:03:13,427
Unfortunately,
that has now turned

42
00:03:13,494 --> 00:03:15,062
into a tragedy
for both of them.

43
00:03:15,128 --> 00:03:17,097
And while it may
titillate some people

44
00:03:17,164 --> 00:03:19,300
to think that something
sinister happened that night,

45
00:03:19,367 --> 00:03:22,202
the sad truth is that
my client was fast asleep

46
00:03:22,270 --> 00:03:24,938
when Ms. Bannister apparently
entered the bathroom,

47
00:03:25,005 --> 00:03:28,208
slipped, cracked her head
open on the shower door

48
00:03:28,276 --> 00:03:29,510
and summarily bled to death.

49
00:03:29,577 --> 00:03:31,111
Mr. Watt...

50
00:03:31,178 --> 00:03:32,780
Mr. Watt, Mr. Watt...
you said in your

51
00:03:32,846 --> 00:03:34,047
opening statements yesterday

52
00:03:34,114 --> 00:03:36,584
that you're confident
the jury will believe

53
00:03:36,650 --> 00:03:37,985
your client's version
of the events

54
00:03:38,051 --> 00:03:39,720
and not
the District Attorney's.

55
00:03:39,787 --> 00:03:41,622
How can you be certain of that?

56
00:03:41,689 --> 00:03:44,792
Well, my client's
telling the truth.

57
00:03:44,858 --> 00:03:46,994
Look, Damon Hodges is
a throwback to a time

58
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:48,962
when the phrase
"student-athlete

59
00:03:49,029 --> 00:03:50,731
actually meant something.

60
00:03:50,798 --> 00:03:52,466
Last year, he led his team

61
00:03:52,533 --> 00:03:54,201
into the Elite Eight
of the NCAA Tournament

62
00:03:54,268 --> 00:03:56,236
and made the Dean's List
both semesters.

63
00:03:56,304 --> 00:03:58,439
Now the District Attorney's
decision to charge him

64
00:03:58,506 --> 00:04:01,041
using a case
that relies solely

65
00:04:01,108 --> 00:04:03,844
on flimsy circumstantial
evidence and hearsay

66
00:04:03,911 --> 00:04:05,946
smacks of election
year desperation.

67
00:04:06,013 --> 00:04:08,148
I mean, there's got to be
a better way

68
00:04:08,215 --> 00:04:10,818
to boost one's name recognition

69
00:04:10,884 --> 00:04:13,421
than falsely accusing
our brightest and our best.

70
00:04:13,487 --> 00:04:14,722
Don't you think?

71
00:04:14,788 --> 00:04:16,857
REPORTER:
Mr. Watt, Mr. Watt...

72
00:04:21,562 --> 00:04:24,131
Just a hunch, but I sense
that man doesn't like you.

73
00:04:24,197 --> 00:04:26,266
He doesn't like losing.

74
00:04:26,334 --> 00:04:28,336
Unfortunately, with
this particular client,

75
00:04:28,402 --> 00:04:30,270
he has no choice.

76
00:04:30,338 --> 00:04:31,839
Why don't you folks
go ahead in?

77
00:04:31,905 --> 00:04:34,608
I'll join you in a minute.

78
00:04:37,044 --> 00:04:38,746
Just between us,
I have a witness

79
00:04:38,812 --> 00:04:41,349
who's about to testify
under oath that Amy Bannister

80
00:04:41,415 --> 00:04:43,551
never touched a drop
of alcohol in her life.

81
00:04:43,617 --> 00:04:46,186
I think it will be quite clear
by the time I'm through

82
00:04:46,253 --> 00:04:47,988
that Mr. Wonderful
drugged Ms. Bannister

83
00:04:48,055 --> 00:04:49,823
he raped her,
accidentally killed her

84
00:04:49,890 --> 00:04:52,426
and then force-fed her alcohol
to cover his tracks.

85
00:04:52,493 --> 00:04:53,861
And you can prove that?

86
00:04:53,927 --> 00:04:56,296
With my crack team
of young turks...

87
00:04:56,364 --> 00:04:58,298
Why, the Mayor nervous?

88
00:04:58,366 --> 00:05:02,503
Well, Attorney Watt is right
about it being an election year,

89
00:05:02,570 --> 00:05:06,006
and people do prefer being
associated with winners.

90
00:05:07,808 --> 00:05:09,510
Let's chat at the lunch recess.

91
00:05:12,913 --> 00:05:14,482
It's incredible
how she does that.

92
00:05:14,548 --> 00:05:16,850
You don't even see her
reach for the blade.

93
00:05:16,917 --> 00:05:20,621
You just look down and there
it is, lodged in your gut.

94
00:05:21,822 --> 00:05:23,491
What is so fascinating?

95
00:05:23,557 --> 00:05:26,293
Nothing. I had this
crazy dream last night,

96
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,029
and she was wearing
the same blouse in it.

97
00:05:29,096 --> 00:05:31,532
But it's okay, you were
wearing a different tie.

98
00:05:31,599 --> 00:05:33,567
So, I'm sorry,

99
00:05:33,634 --> 00:05:37,405
you asked me to be here
early for a reason.

100
00:05:37,471 --> 00:05:39,873
This young kid's something
of a local celebrity,

101
00:05:39,940 --> 00:05:41,609
and juries are funny
with celebrities.

102
00:05:41,675 --> 00:05:45,045
Sit with me today and watch 'em,
see if you can tell

103
00:05:45,112 --> 00:05:46,079
which way they're leaning.

104
00:05:46,146 --> 00:05:47,781
That barracuda
out there is right.

105
00:05:47,848 --> 00:05:49,316
It is an election year.

106
00:05:49,383 --> 00:05:52,653
If you're not getting a good
feeling, I need to know that.

107
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,288
See if perhaps
I want to cut a deal.

108
00:05:55,355 --> 00:05:57,324
The government has approached
16 other design firms

109
00:05:57,391 --> 00:05:58,859
for bid-designs and proposals.

110
00:05:58,926 --> 00:06:02,463
My sense is, if we land this,
it's a small piece

111
00:06:02,530 --> 00:06:04,932
of a much bigger,
much more lucrative pie,

112
00:06:04,998 --> 00:06:07,034
a pie that this firm would love

113
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:09,369
to ultimately get
the lion's share of.

114
00:06:09,437 --> 00:06:11,772
So...

115
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,408
let's sharpen our pencils,
ladies and gentlemen,

116
00:06:14,475 --> 00:06:18,378
and reconvene...
in 48 hours.

117
00:06:20,981 --> 00:06:22,349
He's kidding, right?

118
00:06:22,416 --> 00:06:24,418
48 hours to come up with a chip

119
00:06:24,485 --> 00:06:26,253
that can withstand that
kind of temperature,

120
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:28,856
those kind of G-forces and
that atmospheric pressure?

121
00:06:28,922 --> 00:06:30,257
Hey, stop griping.

122
00:06:30,323 --> 00:06:32,593
Smaller, faster, cheaper--
that's what we do.

123
00:06:32,660 --> 00:06:33,961
Daddy?

124
00:06:35,796 --> 00:06:37,230
What's that thing?

125
00:06:37,297 --> 00:06:38,999
What thing is that, honey?

126
00:06:39,066 --> 00:06:41,401
That thing
you're talking about building.

127
00:06:41,469 --> 00:06:43,170
( people chuckling )

128
00:06:43,236 --> 00:06:47,107
An algorithmic
microprocessor component?

129
00:06:47,174 --> 00:06:49,276
( laughs ):
Well, honey, it's...

130
00:06:49,342 --> 00:06:51,745
Well, in this case,
it's a little machine

131
00:06:51,812 --> 00:06:53,647
that the government
wants to use

132
00:06:53,714 --> 00:06:56,917
to help fix blurry
pictures, photographs.

133
00:06:56,984 --> 00:06:59,252
You give it
a blurry photo,

134
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:01,555
and then it tells you
what the picture's

135
00:07:01,622 --> 00:07:03,190
supposed to really look like.

136
00:07:03,256 --> 00:07:05,526
Oh. Okay.

137
00:07:05,593 --> 00:07:06,794
( chuckling )

138
00:07:06,860 --> 00:07:09,396
-Junior engineer in the making.
-Yes!

139
00:07:10,931 --> 00:07:12,800
Thank you for being so good.

140
00:07:12,866 --> 00:07:15,435
I know that meeting lasted
a long time.

141
00:07:15,503 --> 00:07:18,205
Eh, it's okay,
I was doing my picture.

142
00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:20,240
Oh, yeah? Let's see it.

143
00:07:24,177 --> 00:07:25,879
What is this, sweetie?

144
00:07:25,946 --> 00:07:27,147
You know.

145
00:07:27,214 --> 00:07:31,151
It's an al... gor... rithmic...

146
00:07:31,218 --> 00:07:32,986
Whatever that thing is.

147
00:07:33,053 --> 00:07:34,387
No, no, it isn't.

148
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:35,656
Yes, it is.

149
00:07:35,723 --> 00:07:37,825
It's what you and your
friends are making.

150
00:07:37,891 --> 00:07:40,060
At least that's what he
thinks you're making.

151
00:07:40,127 --> 00:07:41,461
No, no, he doesn't.

152
00:07:41,529 --> 00:07:43,731
We're making a microprocessor.

153
00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:45,132
He knows that.

154
00:07:45,198 --> 00:07:48,035
It's part of a very,
very small computer.

155
00:07:48,101 --> 00:07:50,237
Oh. Okay.

156
00:07:50,303 --> 00:07:53,507
Can we do the vending
machine thing now?

157
00:07:53,574 --> 00:07:56,544
DEVALOS: Ms. Staley, how well
do you know Ms. Bannister?

158
00:07:56,610 --> 00:07:58,979
We've been roommates
for over a year and a half.

159
00:07:59,046 --> 00:08:00,247
Were you close?

160
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:03,083
I mean... some roommates
barely see each other.

161
00:08:03,150 --> 00:08:05,385
I think it would be fair to say

162
00:08:05,452 --> 00:08:07,387
that we considered each other
best friends.

163
00:08:07,454 --> 00:08:09,089
Best friends in college, anyway.

164
00:08:09,156 --> 00:08:11,559
DEVALOS: So when you heard that
your best friend, your...

165
00:08:11,625 --> 00:08:14,494
best friend in college, anyway,
had gotten drunk

166
00:08:14,562 --> 00:08:16,163
and allegedly slipped
in a bathroom

167
00:08:16,229 --> 00:08:18,632
and cracked her head open
and then bled to death,

168
00:08:18,699 --> 00:08:20,568
-what was your reaction?
-Well, I knew that

169
00:08:20,634 --> 00:08:23,436
it was a lie-- I knew that it
couldn't have happened that way.

170
00:08:23,503 --> 00:08:24,738
Objection, Your Honor.

171
00:08:24,805 --> 00:08:26,640
The witness knows
no such thing.

172
00:08:26,707 --> 00:08:28,075
Duly noted, Counselor.

173
00:08:28,141 --> 00:08:30,944
The jury will disregard
the witness's claims

174
00:08:31,011 --> 00:08:32,680
of certainty.

175
00:08:32,746 --> 00:08:35,482
So... what was it
about that scenario

176
00:08:35,549 --> 00:08:37,084
that gave you pause?

177
00:08:37,150 --> 00:08:38,218
Amy didn't drink.

178
00:08:38,285 --> 00:08:40,754
-Not at all. Not ever.
-Really?

179
00:08:40,821 --> 00:08:42,489
You're certain of that?

180
00:08:42,556 --> 00:08:44,792
Yeah, she hated drinking;
she hated drugs.

181
00:08:44,858 --> 00:08:48,596
She would go to clubs because
that's what college kids do,

182
00:08:48,662 --> 00:08:51,531
but she would only drink
soda water.

183
00:08:51,599 --> 00:08:54,702
If they found drugs and alcohol
in her system,

184
00:08:54,768 --> 00:08:56,436
she didn't put them there.

185
00:08:58,305 --> 00:09:02,009
No further questions
at this time, Your Honor.

186
00:09:02,075 --> 00:09:03,677
Defense counsel,

187
00:09:03,744 --> 00:09:07,314
-your witness.
-( clears throat )

188
00:09:08,649 --> 00:09:10,350
( sighs )

189
00:09:10,417 --> 00:09:12,352
So it's your testimony,
Ms. Staley,

190
00:09:12,419 --> 00:09:14,655
that, to the best
of your knowledge,

191
00:09:14,722 --> 00:09:16,256
Ms. Bannister didn't drink.

192
00:09:16,323 --> 00:09:18,125
No. It's my testimony that

193
00:09:18,191 --> 00:09:20,628
Ms. Bannister didn't drink,
period.

194
00:09:20,694 --> 00:09:22,663
Look, I applaud your loyalty
to your friend,

195
00:09:22,730 --> 00:09:24,732
but the truth is,
you don't know that.

196
00:09:24,798 --> 00:09:25,866
I certainly do.

197
00:09:25,933 --> 00:09:27,935
I beg to differ.

198
00:09:28,001 --> 00:09:30,070
Just because Ms. Bannister
may have told you

199
00:09:30,137 --> 00:09:32,039
she didn't drink
doesn't guarantee that

200
00:09:32,105 --> 00:09:33,440
-on occasion, she may...
-Objection.

201
00:09:33,506 --> 00:09:34,875
Sustained.

202
00:09:34,942 --> 00:09:37,878
This court and the jury
recognize that Ms. Staley

203
00:09:37,945 --> 00:09:40,013
cannot absolutely warrant
that Ms. Bannister

204
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,716
has never taken a drink,
Counselor.

205
00:09:42,783 --> 00:09:45,018
Any further questions?

206
00:09:53,661 --> 00:09:55,663
WOMAN:
Psst.

207
00:09:55,729 --> 00:09:58,598
JUDGE:
Mr. Watt?

208
00:09:58,666 --> 00:10:01,635
Mr. Watt, I'm still waiting
to hear if you have

209
00:10:01,702 --> 00:10:03,136
any further questions...

210
00:10:07,174 --> 00:10:08,408
JUDGE:
Mr. Watt.

211
00:10:08,475 --> 00:10:11,945
He's stalling for some reason.

212
00:10:12,012 --> 00:10:14,715
JUDGE:
Mr. Watt.

213
00:10:16,416 --> 00:10:17,584
My apologies, Your Honor.

214
00:10:17,651 --> 00:10:19,853
Um, and I have
several more questions,

215
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,121
if you please.

216
00:10:21,188 --> 00:10:23,623
-JUDGE: Proceed.
-Thank you.

217
00:10:25,693 --> 00:10:30,263
You knew Ms. Bannister very
well, didn't you, Ms. Staley?

218
00:10:30,330 --> 00:10:32,499
As I said, we were roommates.

219
00:10:32,565 --> 00:10:34,134
Do you know my client?

220
00:10:34,201 --> 00:10:36,103
STALEY:
No. I have heard of him,

221
00:10:36,169 --> 00:10:37,971
read about him.

222
00:10:38,038 --> 00:10:40,140
I don't know him personally.

223
00:10:40,207 --> 00:10:42,642
Well, do you like him?

224
00:10:43,744 --> 00:10:46,046
I... don't know him.

225
00:10:46,113 --> 00:10:47,614
But you don't hate him.

226
00:10:47,681 --> 00:10:50,583
I mean, you have no reason
to lie here today,

227
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:53,020
no reason to say anything
that might prejudice

228
00:10:53,086 --> 00:10:54,421
this jury against my client.

229
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:56,556
-STALEY: No, of course not.
-I mean,

230
00:10:56,623 --> 00:10:58,458
it's not like
you were jealous of him.

231
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,128
Excuse me?

232
00:11:01,194 --> 00:11:02,863
WATT:
Well, I mean, given...

233
00:11:02,930 --> 00:11:06,867
how he felt about
Ms. Bannister, and...

234
00:11:06,934 --> 00:11:09,036
given how you felt
about Ms. Bannister.

235
00:11:09,102 --> 00:11:11,204
-Excuse me?
-Well, you were...

236
00:11:11,271 --> 00:11:13,306
in love with her...

237
00:11:13,373 --> 00:11:15,108
weren't you, Ms. Staley?

238
00:11:15,175 --> 00:11:18,611
( gallery murmuring )

239
00:11:24,517 --> 00:11:26,086
Oh, my God.

240
00:11:26,153 --> 00:11:28,155
A simple "yes" or "no"
will suffice.

241
00:11:28,221 --> 00:11:30,157
Uh...

242
00:11:34,261 --> 00:11:37,064
( softly ):
Oh, my God.

243
00:11:37,130 --> 00:11:42,335
Let the record show that
Ms. Staley refused to answer.

244
00:11:42,402 --> 00:11:43,871
No further questions.

245
00:11:50,143 --> 00:11:51,578
Don't look so shocked.

246
00:11:51,644 --> 00:11:54,247
You, of all people,
should have seen that coming.

247
00:11:55,582 --> 00:11:56,917
Who deposed that woman?

248
00:11:56,984 --> 00:11:58,585
I did. For seven hours.

249
00:11:58,651 --> 00:11:59,820
Seven hours?

250
00:11:59,887 --> 00:12:01,588
And in all that time
you didn't think

251
00:12:01,654 --> 00:12:03,056
that perhaps
Ms. Staley's statements

252
00:12:03,123 --> 00:12:04,191
might be colored by...?

253
00:12:04,257 --> 00:12:05,425
No.

254
00:12:05,492 --> 00:12:07,060
No. Someone on Watt's team did.

255
00:12:07,127 --> 00:12:09,196
MAN:
Happy Birthday.

256
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:16,603
DEVALOS:
I want everyone to pore over

257
00:12:16,669 --> 00:12:19,106
the witness list,
review all the depositions,

258
00:12:19,172 --> 00:12:21,374
re-prepare all the witnesses
if you have to.

259
00:12:21,441 --> 00:12:23,310
I can't have another witness
torpedoed like that.

260
00:12:23,376 --> 00:12:24,577
-( knocking )
-What?

261
00:12:24,644 --> 00:12:26,947
Lloyd's birthday.

262
00:12:27,014 --> 00:12:28,681
They wanted to be sure
you had a piece.

263
00:12:28,748 --> 00:12:29,749
I can come back.

264
00:12:29,817 --> 00:12:30,884
No, no...

265
00:12:30,951 --> 00:12:33,153
Thank you, Sondra.

266
00:12:34,888 --> 00:12:36,356
( sighs )

267
00:12:36,423 --> 00:12:37,858
I'm not losing this case.

268
00:12:37,925 --> 00:12:39,893
I may lose a few
assistant district attorneys,

269
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,561
but I'm not losing this case.

270
00:12:41,628 --> 00:12:42,896
Am I clear?

271
00:12:42,963 --> 00:12:44,064
-Yes, sir.
-Yeah.

272
00:12:44,131 --> 00:12:45,365
Thank you.

273
00:12:49,136 --> 00:12:50,637
For what it's worth,

274
00:12:50,703 --> 00:12:52,705
most of the jurors
are still with you.

275
00:12:52,772 --> 00:12:53,773
Well, that's good to know.

276
00:12:53,841 --> 00:12:55,142
Unfortunately, I need
all 12 of them

277
00:12:55,208 --> 00:12:56,810
if I'm going
to lock this kid up.

278
00:12:56,877 --> 00:12:58,278
Did you happen to notice
this woman

279
00:12:58,345 --> 00:12:59,346
sitting behind Attorney Watt?

280
00:12:59,412 --> 00:13:00,981
She was wearing
a scarf on her head.

281
00:13:01,048 --> 00:13:02,950
You hungry?

282
00:13:03,016 --> 00:13:05,485
Right before Watt
went in for the kill,

283
00:13:05,552 --> 00:13:07,354
she leaned forward
and whispered something

284
00:13:07,420 --> 00:13:08,721
to one of his assistants.

285
00:13:08,788 --> 00:13:10,257
Private detective?

286
00:13:10,323 --> 00:13:12,459
Friend of the defendant?

287
00:13:12,525 --> 00:13:13,827
( grunts )

288
00:13:13,894 --> 00:13:16,529
Damn it.

289
00:13:16,596 --> 00:13:18,231
I don't... I don't know what
to tell you, Allison.

290
00:13:18,298 --> 00:13:20,934
You think it's important? Should
I have someone look into it?

291
00:13:21,001 --> 00:13:22,169
SONDRA:
The Mayor on line one.

292
00:13:22,235 --> 00:13:25,538
( whispers ):
Of course he is.

293
00:13:25,605 --> 00:13:27,440
Court resumes tomorrow
at 9:00 a.m.

294
00:13:27,507 --> 00:13:28,475
Can you be there?

295
00:13:28,541 --> 00:13:30,610
-Of course.
-Thank you.

296
00:13:32,913 --> 00:13:34,781
Yes, Mr. Mayor.

297
00:13:38,919 --> 00:13:40,753
Are you all right?

298
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:42,522
I'm fine.

299
00:13:42,589 --> 00:13:43,924
That's a lovely blouse.

300
00:13:43,991 --> 00:13:45,825
Thanks. It's new.

301
00:14:16,823 --> 00:14:18,391
( elevator bell dings )

302
00:14:18,458 --> 00:14:19,392
( gasps )

303
00:14:30,904 --> 00:14:33,273
( alarm blaring )

304
00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:38,345
( inaudible shouts )

305
00:14:51,491 --> 00:14:53,060
( garbled radio transmission )

306
00:14:53,626 --> 00:14:55,095
I'm confused.

307
00:14:55,162 --> 00:14:57,164
You didn't actually
see a man with a gun?

308
00:14:57,230 --> 00:14:58,431
No.

309
00:14:58,498 --> 00:15:00,500
And yet you felt
compelled to scream,

310
00:15:00,567 --> 00:15:02,469
"There's a man with a gun
in the elevator"?

311
00:15:02,535 --> 00:15:04,171
Apparently so.

312
00:15:04,237 --> 00:15:05,905
Were you expecting
a man with a gun?

313
00:15:05,973 --> 00:15:07,207
No.

314
00:15:07,274 --> 00:15:09,409
I made a terrible mistake.

315
00:15:09,476 --> 00:15:11,344
Are you currently on any kind

316
00:15:11,411 --> 00:15:13,446
of prescription medication,
Mrs. Dubois?

317
00:15:13,513 --> 00:15:16,849
Chief Parker... I recognize
that this false alarm

318
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:19,552
was a major inconvenience
to you and your staff,

319
00:15:19,619 --> 00:15:21,821
me and my staff,
but it's clear to me

320
00:15:21,888 --> 00:15:23,256
that what we're looking at here

321
00:15:23,323 --> 00:15:25,192
is a result of a simple mistake
in judgment.

322
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:27,227
Well, that's very understanding
of you, Mr. District Attorney,

323
00:15:27,294 --> 00:15:29,229
but I still have to explain
to my bosses

324
00:15:29,296 --> 00:15:31,464
on the City Council
why a person would yell "gun"

325
00:15:31,531 --> 00:15:32,732
when there is no gun

326
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:35,035
or pull a fire alarm
when there is no fire.

327
00:15:35,102 --> 00:15:37,104
And I have every confidence
you'll find a way to do that,

328
00:15:37,170 --> 00:15:38,438
but if you run into any trouble,

329
00:15:38,505 --> 00:15:40,373
be sure to have the people
you answer to call me.

330
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,674
But, Mr. District...

331
00:15:41,741 --> 00:15:42,675
Thank you, Chief.

332
00:15:42,742 --> 00:15:44,477
Now do we have the all clear

333
00:15:44,544 --> 00:15:45,812
to go back in?

334
00:15:45,878 --> 00:15:47,680
Yeah, we're all clear.

335
00:15:47,747 --> 00:15:49,316
I'm sorry, Chief.

336
00:15:49,382 --> 00:15:50,950
Thank you, Chief.

337
00:15:51,018 --> 00:15:54,321
( chuckles )

338
00:15:54,387 --> 00:15:56,389
What is so funny?

339
00:15:56,456 --> 00:15:59,626
Just imagining the headline
in tomorrow's paper.

340
00:15:59,692 --> 00:16:02,762
"D.A. Burned in Court,
Not in Office."

341
00:16:02,829 --> 00:16:04,264
I'm so terribly sorry.

342
00:16:04,331 --> 00:16:05,732
I don't even know
where to begin.

343
00:16:05,798 --> 00:16:07,034
It's okay.

344
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:09,469
I take it this had
something to do with a dream?

345
00:16:09,536 --> 00:16:11,404
MAN: Excuse me,
Mr. District Attorney.

346
00:16:11,471 --> 00:16:13,740
Excuse me.

347
00:16:13,806 --> 00:16:16,176
Are you the one
who pulled the alarm ?

348
00:16:16,243 --> 00:16:17,777
This is for you.

349
00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:23,483
$500?

350
00:16:26,386 --> 00:16:27,587
$500?

351
00:16:27,654 --> 00:16:28,888
I'll pay for it.

352
00:16:28,955 --> 00:16:30,290
We'll take it out of my money.

353
00:16:30,357 --> 00:16:33,760
Your money, my money,
it's all...

354
00:16:33,826 --> 00:16:35,962
Wait a second, I mean,
can't we appeal this?

355
00:16:36,029 --> 00:16:39,232
Well, we can, but we'd lose.

356
00:16:39,299 --> 00:16:41,468
It was a stupid dream
when I dreamt it.

357
00:16:41,534 --> 00:16:43,770
I didn't even mention it
'cause it seemed so silly,

358
00:16:43,836 --> 00:16:46,306
but all the pieces
seemed to come together.

359
00:16:46,373 --> 00:16:49,309
I was so certain.

360
00:16:49,376 --> 00:16:51,411
Okay, fine. Well, I'll just
add it to the list

361
00:16:51,478 --> 00:16:53,880
of all the other bills
we can't figure out how to pay.

362
00:16:53,946 --> 00:16:55,048
I'm sorry.

363
00:16:55,115 --> 00:16:56,383
( knocking )

364
00:16:56,449 --> 00:16:57,417
Who is it?

365
00:16:57,484 --> 00:16:58,451
BRIDGETTE:
It's me.

366
00:16:58,518 --> 00:17:00,353
JOE:
Hey, it's my work buddy.

367
00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:01,754
What you got there, Pumpkin?

368
00:17:01,821 --> 00:17:03,423
It's a picture.

369
00:17:03,490 --> 00:17:05,925
A picture of what?

370
00:17:05,992 --> 00:17:07,394
Daddy's work.

371
00:17:07,460 --> 00:17:09,062
Daddy's what?

372
00:17:09,129 --> 00:17:10,430
His bomb.

373
00:17:10,497 --> 00:17:13,400
He and his friends
are making it at work.

374
00:17:13,466 --> 00:17:16,203
Bridge, I told you
Daddy is not making a bomb.

375
00:17:16,269 --> 00:17:18,605
Daddy is making
an algorithmic microprocessor

376
00:17:18,671 --> 00:17:20,039
component, remember?

377
00:17:20,107 --> 00:17:21,841
Whatever you say.

378
00:17:21,908 --> 00:17:23,576
Who's going to tuck me in?

379
00:17:24,944 --> 00:17:25,945
( Joe groans )

380
00:17:26,012 --> 00:17:27,013
Could we not?

381
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,981
I promised her I'd put it up.

382
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:31,884
So where do you think she came
up with something like this?

383
00:17:31,951 --> 00:17:34,654
She's a kid. Who knows?

384
00:17:34,721 --> 00:17:37,524
So this component
you're working on--

385
00:17:37,590 --> 00:17:39,559
what exactly is it
a component of?

386
00:17:39,626 --> 00:17:40,927
I have no idea.

387
00:17:40,993 --> 00:17:43,196
It could be the component
of a lot of things,

388
00:17:43,263 --> 00:17:44,697
but one thing I'm
reasonably certain of

389
00:17:44,764 --> 00:17:46,333
it isn't a component
of a bomb.

390
00:17:46,399 --> 00:17:48,335
And how are you so sure?

391
00:17:48,401 --> 00:17:50,470
Because, my dear,
my company doesn't make bombs.

392
00:17:50,537 --> 00:17:52,572
We're an aeronautical
firm, remember?

393
00:17:52,639 --> 00:17:54,374
As in airplanes
and gliders and spaceships.

394
00:17:54,441 --> 00:17:55,575
Not things that go boom.

395
00:17:56,743 --> 00:17:58,111
What?

396
00:17:58,178 --> 00:17:59,912
Nothing.

397
00:17:59,979 --> 00:18:01,448
It's just...

398
00:18:01,514 --> 00:18:02,649
I'm not the only person

399
00:18:02,715 --> 00:18:05,918
who gets feelings in this house,
you know?

400
00:18:05,985 --> 00:18:08,221
If you don't know what
it is you're building,

401
00:18:08,288 --> 00:18:11,057
you might think about
asking somebody, that's all.

402
00:18:11,124 --> 00:18:13,193
Okay, I'll add that
to my to-do list.

403
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:15,528
Since I have to be up
in six hours,

404
00:18:15,595 --> 00:18:18,531
you'll understand if it doesn't
go right to the top.

405
00:18:26,973 --> 00:18:28,007
( woman screams )

406
00:18:28,074 --> 00:18:29,776
( gasps )

407
00:18:32,679 --> 00:18:34,447
You okay?

408
00:18:34,514 --> 00:18:37,917
Fine. I'm fine.

409
00:18:37,984 --> 00:18:39,419
Stupid dream.

410
00:18:39,486 --> 00:18:43,022
( clock ticking )

411
00:19:04,544 --> 00:19:08,281
Ah, so that's who you are.

412
00:19:12,352 --> 00:19:13,686
DEVALOS:
You're kidding me.

413
00:19:13,753 --> 00:19:16,556
Watt hired a psychic
of his own?

414
00:19:16,623 --> 00:19:19,158
A pretty good one, too,
according to her Web site.

415
00:19:19,226 --> 00:19:22,028
Supposedly, she's been working
with the Albuquerque police

416
00:19:22,094 --> 00:19:24,931
on missing persons
cases for years.

417
00:19:24,997 --> 00:19:27,200
Although they won't corroborate
that on the record.

418
00:19:27,267 --> 00:19:29,502
Supposedly, even the FBI
calls her for a consult

419
00:19:29,569 --> 00:19:30,870
every once in a while...

420
00:19:30,937 --> 00:19:32,705
although they, too,
won't corroborate.

421
00:19:32,772 --> 00:19:35,141
She's worked missing persons,
kidnapping cases,

422
00:19:35,208 --> 00:19:36,509
serial killers, you name it.

423
00:19:36,576 --> 00:19:37,677
She's even written a book.

424
00:19:37,744 --> 00:19:39,111
According to her Web site.

425
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:40,580
According to her
Web site.

426
00:19:40,647 --> 00:19:42,349
Dueling psychics.

427
00:19:42,415 --> 00:19:46,118
This just might be a first
for the American justice system.

428
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:47,320
I don't get it.

429
00:19:47,387 --> 00:19:49,256
You aren't concerned?

430
00:19:49,322 --> 00:19:50,790
Don't take this the wrong way,

431
00:19:50,857 --> 00:19:52,759
but for the most part,
recent false alarms

432
00:19:52,825 --> 00:19:56,463
notwithstanding,
I believe in you.

433
00:19:56,529 --> 00:19:59,232
I believe you believe
everything you tell me.

434
00:19:59,299 --> 00:20:02,435
And I'm astonished
at how often you're right.

435
00:20:02,502 --> 00:20:05,438
But I also believe
that people like you

436
00:20:05,505 --> 00:20:06,639
are extraordinarily rare.

437
00:20:06,706 --> 00:20:08,575
So, am I worried
about some woman

438
00:20:08,641 --> 00:20:10,377
who advertises in the newspaper?

439
00:20:12,178 --> 00:20:15,014
I believe in the justice system.

440
00:20:15,081 --> 00:20:16,683
I believe in the power of truth,

441
00:20:16,749 --> 00:20:19,786
and I believe in the wisdom
and the fairness of juries.

442
00:20:19,852 --> 00:20:22,922
Randy Pilgrim has been
a teammate of Damon Hodges

443
00:20:22,989 --> 00:20:24,957
for the last two years.

444
00:20:25,024 --> 00:20:27,093
In about 20 minutes,
he's going to testify

445
00:20:27,159 --> 00:20:30,330
that Hodges has a habit of
putting GHB into women's drinks.

446
00:20:30,397 --> 00:20:33,065
Apparently, he's even boasted
about it in the locker room.

447
00:20:33,132 --> 00:20:34,567
If my belief systems hold water,

448
00:20:34,634 --> 00:20:36,269
then Mr. Pilgrim's
going to help me

449
00:20:36,336 --> 00:20:38,638
establish a pattern of behavior
with this jury

450
00:20:38,705 --> 00:20:41,308
that's going to put
Damon Hodges behind bars.

451
00:20:41,374 --> 00:20:43,810
Care to predict
how it's going to go?

452
00:20:43,876 --> 00:20:46,346
DEVALOS:
One last question, Mr. Pilgrim.

453
00:20:46,413 --> 00:20:49,316
How do your teammates feel
about you testifying today?

454
00:20:49,382 --> 00:20:50,783
Some of them weren't very happy.

455
00:20:50,850 --> 00:20:52,785
But I don't understand.

456
00:20:52,852 --> 00:20:54,987
If Damon Hodges is truly guilty

457
00:20:55,054 --> 00:20:56,523
of what's being alleged
here today

458
00:20:56,589 --> 00:20:57,957
wouldn't they want
to see him punished?

459
00:20:58,024 --> 00:20:59,826
Wouldn't they want him put away

460
00:20:59,892 --> 00:21:02,128
where he could pose
no harm to their wives,

461
00:21:02,194 --> 00:21:03,195
their sisters,

462
00:21:03,262 --> 00:21:04,764
their girlfriends?

463
00:21:04,831 --> 00:21:07,667
Yeah, but...

464
00:21:07,734 --> 00:21:09,001
He helps us win games.

465
00:21:09,068 --> 00:21:12,038
No more questions, Your Honor.

466
00:21:17,677 --> 00:21:20,780
WATT: So if I understand
your testimony accurately,

467
00:21:20,847 --> 00:21:24,384
my client, Mr. Hodges,

468
00:21:24,451 --> 00:21:27,286
has been boasting of drugging
and taking advantage

469
00:21:27,354 --> 00:21:28,555
of women for months?

470
00:21:28,621 --> 00:21:30,857
Yes, sir,
that's what I said, sir.

471
00:21:30,923 --> 00:21:31,991
How many months exactly?

472
00:21:32,058 --> 00:21:33,125
Excuse me?

473
00:21:33,192 --> 00:21:35,227
What I'm asking you is
how many months

474
00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:37,697
have you allegedly known
that my client drugs women

475
00:21:37,764 --> 00:21:39,732
for the purpose of having
sex with them?

476
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:41,868
How many months was it
that neither you

477
00:21:41,934 --> 00:21:44,136
nor anyone else
on your team, for that matter,

478
00:21:44,203 --> 00:21:47,239
felt it necessary
to call the authorities

479
00:21:47,306 --> 00:21:49,976
or tell a coach
or tell anyone?

480
00:21:50,042 --> 00:21:51,243
Not until now.

481
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:54,013
Objection. We've already
established that Mr. Pilgrim

482
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,648
did not come forward
immediately...

483
00:21:55,715 --> 00:21:57,083
that there was
enormous peer pressure

484
00:21:57,149 --> 00:21:58,985
-to remain silent.
-Sustained.

485
00:21:59,051 --> 00:22:01,654
Move along, Mr. Watt.

486
00:22:01,721 --> 00:22:06,258
You know my client
pretty well, don't you?

487
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:11,063
You played ball on the same team
for a couple of seasons.

488
00:22:11,130 --> 00:22:13,099
Would you describe him
as a handsome man?

489
00:22:15,334 --> 00:22:17,103
I don't know.

490
00:22:17,169 --> 00:22:18,838
I guess.

491
00:22:18,905 --> 00:22:21,207
Does he strike you
as the type of man

492
00:22:21,273 --> 00:22:24,644
who would have to drug women
to have sex with them?

493
00:22:24,711 --> 00:22:27,179
Objection. Council is calling
for an opinion from the witness

494
00:22:27,246 --> 00:22:28,848
that is completely irrelevant

495
00:22:28,915 --> 00:22:30,383
and immaterial
and inappropriate.

496
00:22:30,450 --> 00:22:32,852
And for which the witness
has no expertise.

497
00:22:32,919 --> 00:22:36,322
JUDGE: Mr. Watt, if you don't
have any substantive questions

498
00:22:36,389 --> 00:22:38,725
for this witness, I'm going
to ask him to sit down.

499
00:22:38,791 --> 00:22:41,093
So what will it be, Mr. Watt?

500
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,497
Because right now you are trying
this court's patience.

501
00:22:44,564 --> 00:22:49,001
Have you any more substantive
questions for this witness?

502
00:22:51,070 --> 00:22:53,005
Begging the court's indulgence.

503
00:22:53,072 --> 00:22:55,341
I'd like a minute
to confer with my colleagues.

504
00:22:59,746 --> 00:23:02,248
( indistinct whispering )

505
00:23:09,822 --> 00:23:10,890
If it please the court,

506
00:23:10,957 --> 00:23:12,291
the defense would like
to present

507
00:23:12,358 --> 00:23:14,360
a few more questions
to Mr. Pilgrim.

508
00:23:14,427 --> 00:23:18,164
All right, Mr. Watt,
but mind your manners.

509
00:23:19,799 --> 00:23:23,169
Absolutely, Your Honor.

510
00:23:23,235 --> 00:23:25,572
Mr. Pilgrim...

511
00:23:25,638 --> 00:23:26,873
do you hate my client?

512
00:23:26,939 --> 00:23:28,841
God, no.

513
00:23:28,908 --> 00:23:30,810
Come on...

514
00:23:30,877 --> 00:23:33,980
maybe just...
just a little bit?

515
00:23:34,046 --> 00:23:35,214
Objection. Leading the witness.

516
00:23:35,281 --> 00:23:36,315
Mr. Watt...

517
00:23:36,382 --> 00:23:39,952
I'll hurry it along,
Your Honor.

518
00:23:40,019 --> 00:23:41,488
Ever been to a Klan meeting,

519
00:23:41,554 --> 00:23:42,689
Mr. Pilgrim?

520
00:23:46,893 --> 00:23:51,063
I'm sorry, was that
a "yes" or a "no"?

521
00:23:51,130 --> 00:23:52,732
You can't use that against me.

522
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:54,534
Isn't it true that
your Uncle Marshall,

523
00:23:54,601 --> 00:23:57,136
your father's brother,
sits on the council...

524
00:23:57,203 --> 00:23:59,506
Objection.
Of what relevance are the

525
00:23:59,572 --> 00:24:00,973
associations
of the witness's uncle...?

526
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,408
Overruled.

527
00:24:02,475 --> 00:24:04,176
The witness will
answer the question.

528
00:24:04,243 --> 00:24:05,444
Which one?

529
00:24:05,512 --> 00:24:09,582
Have you ever been
to a Klan meeting, Mr. Pilgrim?

530
00:24:09,649 --> 00:24:12,151
Not because I wanted to go, no.

531
00:24:12,218 --> 00:24:15,421
Was that a "yes" or a "no"?

532
00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:21,894
I've been
to a Klan meeting, yes.

533
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:24,497
My... my uncle took me,

534
00:24:24,564 --> 00:24:26,766
I was a kid.
I was, like, six.

535
00:24:26,833 --> 00:24:28,400
It was some kind of
picnic or something.

536
00:24:28,467 --> 00:24:30,236
But it wasn't like something
I wanted to do.

537
00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:31,638
Let the record show

538
00:24:31,704 --> 00:24:34,206
that the witness answered
in the affirmative.

539
00:24:34,273 --> 00:24:36,543
This witness is excused.

540
00:24:43,049 --> 00:24:44,083
( keyless entry beeps )

541
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,721
( horn honks )

542
00:24:54,193 --> 00:24:55,862
I don't know what
to tell you, boss.

543
00:24:55,928 --> 00:24:57,664
We're giving it our best shot.

544
00:24:57,730 --> 00:24:59,365
Tomorrow at noon,
I guess you'll tell us.

545
00:24:59,431 --> 00:25:01,133
( chuckles )

546
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,902
Right, that's easy
for you to say.

547
00:25:02,969 --> 00:25:06,172
You think I don't know that what
I asked you to do is impossible?

548
00:25:06,238 --> 00:25:08,407
No, I know you know.

549
00:25:08,474 --> 00:25:10,309
You're the best engineer
in this building.

550
00:25:10,376 --> 00:25:13,379
Best engineer I've ever met.

551
00:25:13,445 --> 00:25:15,582
We just, we want to...
we want to get this for you.

552
00:25:15,648 --> 00:25:17,684
We want to, uh...

553
00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:18,951
well, we don't want
to let you down.

554
00:25:19,018 --> 00:25:21,788
I appreciate all the hard work.

555
00:25:21,854 --> 00:25:24,123
Yeah, I appreciate the job.

556
00:25:24,190 --> 00:25:26,392
Oh, hey, you know what
I've been meaning to ask you?

557
00:25:26,458 --> 00:25:28,027
Um, this algorithmic

558
00:25:28,094 --> 00:25:30,797
microprocessor, what exactly
is it being integrated into?

559
00:25:30,863 --> 00:25:32,031
I mean, I understand

560
00:25:32,098 --> 00:25:34,100
it's a small part
of a larger project,

561
00:25:34,166 --> 00:25:36,368
but what exactly
is the initial application?

562
00:25:36,435 --> 00:25:38,204
It's a government project, Joe.

563
00:25:38,270 --> 00:25:39,538
No, I know.

564
00:25:39,606 --> 00:25:41,107
I heard you say that yesterday.

565
00:25:41,173 --> 00:25:42,274
But I mean specifically.

566
00:25:42,341 --> 00:25:43,409
Specifically?

567
00:25:43,475 --> 00:25:46,212
Specifically for the first
18 months of its life

568
00:25:46,278 --> 00:25:48,948
my guess is that it will live
on the nose of a missile

569
00:25:49,015 --> 00:25:52,118
for our own use
or for sale to our allies

570
00:25:52,184 --> 00:25:53,786
and help guide it
to its target

571
00:25:53,853 --> 00:25:55,655
so that innocent people
won't get hurt.

572
00:25:55,722 --> 00:25:57,089
Shortly thereafter

573
00:25:57,156 --> 00:25:59,959
it will probably appear
on home computers to facilitate

574
00:26:00,026 --> 00:26:02,261
personal video conferencing.

575
00:26:02,328 --> 00:26:03,963
A few years after that,
my hunch is

576
00:26:04,030 --> 00:26:06,165
some clever fellow
will use the technology

577
00:26:06,232 --> 00:26:07,867
in a child's game of some kind.

578
00:26:07,934 --> 00:26:09,736
Hopefully, it'll be a big hit
at Christmas.

579
00:26:09,802 --> 00:26:11,370
Pay us a lot of royalties.

580
00:26:11,437 --> 00:26:13,005
That would be my hunch.

581
00:26:14,841 --> 00:26:16,909
Night, Joe.

582
00:26:16,976 --> 00:26:19,712
( engine starts )

583
00:26:19,779 --> 00:26:21,413
ARIEL:
And then Mr. Newberry

584
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,883
told Hannah that she
should spend less time

585
00:26:23,950 --> 00:26:25,685
downloading music and
more time studying...

586
00:26:25,752 --> 00:26:27,186
Mom, I was still eating that.

587
00:26:27,253 --> 00:26:28,320
Oh, I'm sorry.

588
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:30,990
Are you even listening to me?

589
00:26:31,057 --> 00:26:32,892
Honestly,
I'm a little distracted.

590
00:26:32,959 --> 00:26:34,360
I noticed.

591
00:26:34,426 --> 00:26:35,828
There's something
I need to do tonight

592
00:26:35,895 --> 00:26:37,463
and I need Daddy
to watch you girls.

593
00:26:37,529 --> 00:26:38,530
What is it?

594
00:26:38,597 --> 00:26:39,766
Oh, it's this lecture.

595
00:26:39,832 --> 00:26:42,101
This woman that I noticed
in court, she wrote a book.

596
00:26:42,168 --> 00:26:43,836
And she's going to speak tonight
downtown.

597
00:26:43,903 --> 00:26:44,871
Sounds boring.

598
00:26:44,937 --> 00:26:45,905
Thank you.

599
00:26:45,972 --> 00:26:48,374
Hey...!
Where's my picture?

600
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,743
The picture I drew
of Daddy's bomb.

601
00:26:50,810 --> 00:26:54,613
I was going to bring it in
to school for show-and-tell.

602
00:26:54,681 --> 00:26:55,715
Daddy doesn't have

603
00:26:55,782 --> 00:26:57,016
-a bomb, doofus.
-ALLISON: Hey.

604
00:26:57,083 --> 00:27:00,052
-Not yet.
-Mom, tell her, please.

605
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,189
-( door closes )
-You know... Look, Daddy's home.

606
00:27:03,255 --> 00:27:04,824
-Daddy!
-Shh-shh-shh-shh!

607
00:27:04,891 --> 00:27:06,458
-You're going to wake
your sister. -Daddy!

608
00:27:06,525 --> 00:27:08,861
Sorry I'm late.

609
00:27:08,928 --> 00:27:11,130
Hi.

610
00:27:11,197 --> 00:27:13,365
I stopped and had
a talk with my boss, and...

611
00:27:13,432 --> 00:27:14,734
Uh, Marie's asleep.

612
00:27:14,801 --> 00:27:17,203
I need a favor. Will it hold?

613
00:27:17,269 --> 00:27:18,570
Uh, yeah, it'll hold.

614
00:27:18,637 --> 00:27:20,139
Okay.

615
00:27:20,206 --> 00:27:21,373
Mwah.

616
00:27:23,509 --> 00:27:25,011
-Bye, guys.
-Bye, Mom.

617
00:27:25,077 --> 00:27:26,378
OLGA Z:
"When little Autumn Mowry

618
00:27:26,445 --> 00:27:29,949
"was 13, she broke her neck
diving into a pool.

619
00:27:30,016 --> 00:27:34,253
"At her funeral, her mother and
her younger sister cried so hard

"a man they realized
was a registered sex offender

"who had lied
about his identity.

629
00:27:59,578 --> 00:28:02,614
But Autumn told me
differently..."

630
00:28:02,681 --> 00:28:05,084
What a load of crap.

631
00:28:05,151 --> 00:28:07,787
"Her spirit led me
to an intersection

632

on the outskirts
of Albuquerque..."

633
00:28:10,489 --> 00:28:12,324
You had a sudden
bout of diarrhea,

634
00:28:12,391 --> 00:28:13,559
you lying whore.

635
00:28:13,625 --> 00:28:15,127
If you hadn't been
looking for a bathroom,

636
00:28:15,194 --> 00:28:17,296
you'd have never been caught
dead in that part of town.

637
00:28:17,363 --> 00:28:19,832
Hey. Excuse me,
could you keep it down

638
00:28:19,899 --> 00:28:21,400
-over there?
-Shh! Shh!

639

I was buying her something
for dinner, you lying whore.

And she was smiling, by the way.

00:28:34,346 --> 00:28:36,382
Right up until the point
where that police car

645
00:28:36,448 --> 00:28:38,017
came roaring up
that you called

646
00:28:38,084 --> 00:28:40,586
and shot me three times
in the head.

647
00:28:40,652 --> 00:28:41,988
"How do I explain these

648
00:28:42,054 --> 00:28:43,790
extraordinary encounters
with the dead?"

649
00:28:43,856 --> 00:28:45,191
It's called a coincidence.

650
00:28:45,257 --> 00:28:47,994
and you've been dining off it
for years, you fake.

651
00:28:48,060 --> 00:28:50,462
Can't wait 'til
she gets down here

652
00:28:50,529 --> 00:28:52,198
to the hot zone where I live.

653
00:28:52,264 --> 00:28:54,934
Man, are there a lot of
pissed-off souls down here

654
00:28:55,001 --> 00:28:56,202
that want a piece of her.

655
00:28:56,268 --> 00:29:00,606
"It is truly a gift."

656
00:29:23,129 --> 00:29:26,065
Hey, where are you
going with that?

657
00:29:26,132 --> 00:29:27,699
That's my work.

658
00:29:27,766 --> 00:29:30,002
This is not your work.

659
00:29:30,069 --> 00:29:32,604
You've never spent
one single moment of your life

660
00:29:32,671 --> 00:29:35,107
contemplating
how to hurt someone else.

661
00:29:35,174 --> 00:29:38,444
You knew the whole time.

662
00:29:38,510 --> 00:29:40,546
Didn't you, you witch?

663
00:29:43,582 --> 00:29:47,653
I remember being seven,
I remember drawing pictures...

664
00:29:47,719 --> 00:29:49,588
seeing them come true...

665
00:29:49,655 --> 00:29:51,123
not understanding.

666
00:29:51,190 --> 00:29:53,525
I'm not going to quit, Allison.

667
00:29:53,592 --> 00:29:54,961
I can't quit.

668
00:29:55,027 --> 00:29:57,396
I got you, I got the kids.

669
00:29:57,463 --> 00:29:59,832
I got a mortgage
and a stack of bills

670
00:29:59,899 --> 00:30:01,667
I can't pay already.

671
00:30:01,733 --> 00:30:02,935
I can't quit.

672
00:30:03,002 --> 00:30:05,437
Maybe your company
won't get the contract.

673
00:30:05,504 --> 00:30:06,973
Maybe it'll all be moot.

674
00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:09,341
No, we're going to get it.

675
00:30:09,408 --> 00:30:11,610
I can feel it in my bones.

676
00:30:11,677 --> 00:30:14,180
We're going to get it.

677
00:30:14,246 --> 00:30:15,915
How was the lecture?

678
00:30:17,583 --> 00:30:19,585
She was okay.

679
00:30:19,651 --> 00:30:21,553
Very interesting crowd.

680
00:30:26,058 --> 00:30:27,759
( groans )

681
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:30,529
( clock ticking )

682
00:30:32,664 --> 00:30:34,300
( ticking faster )

683
00:30:37,970 --> 00:30:39,438
Excuse me, can I help you?

684
00:30:46,578 --> 00:30:48,314
What are you up to?

685
00:30:48,380 --> 00:30:50,216
What are you doing?

686
00:30:50,282 --> 00:30:53,819
You're killing everyone here,
you know that?

687
00:30:53,886 --> 00:30:55,687
Why would you do that?

688
00:30:57,723 --> 00:30:59,258
( gasps )

689
00:31:03,129 --> 00:31:05,364
Does it matter at all
that the young man's guilty,

690
00:31:05,431 --> 00:31:06,798
that he killed this girl?

691
00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:07,900
It matters.

692
00:31:07,967 --> 00:31:09,635
But it's not the subject

693
00:31:09,701 --> 00:31:11,637
of this particular conversation.

694
00:31:13,805 --> 00:31:15,474
Look...

695
00:31:15,541 --> 00:31:18,244
I get in your face a lot
and so does the Mayor.

696
00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:20,112
But we both like you.

697
00:31:20,179 --> 00:31:22,048
And we both want you
to stick around.

698
00:31:22,114 --> 00:31:23,815
He wants you on the ticket.

699
00:31:23,882 --> 00:31:25,217
But you can't be there

700
00:31:25,284 --> 00:31:27,486
if this guy's going to make
an ass out of you

701
00:31:27,553 --> 00:31:28,687
in that courtroom every day.

702
00:31:32,024 --> 00:31:33,459
I know. Same blouse.

703
00:31:33,525 --> 00:31:34,760
Didn't get home last night.

704
00:31:34,826 --> 00:31:35,962
Campaign season.

705
00:31:36,028 --> 00:31:38,130
( knocking on door )

706
00:31:38,197 --> 00:31:40,066
Can I talk to you for a minute?

707
00:31:40,132 --> 00:31:42,068
Ten after 1:00.
You might have to walk with me.

708
00:31:43,835 --> 00:31:45,938
I spent some time last night
with Olga Z.,

709
00:31:46,005 --> 00:31:48,507
Watts' psychic.
The woman is a fraud.

710
00:31:48,574 --> 00:31:49,708
I don't know, Allison.

711
00:31:49,775 --> 00:31:51,710
Two days ago,
I might have agreed with you.

712
00:31:51,777 --> 00:31:54,013
But she's kicking the stuffing
out of me in that court.

713
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,447
No, I don't think so, not her.

714
00:31:55,514 --> 00:31:57,149
Someone's giving Watt
information we don't have,

715
00:31:57,216 --> 00:31:58,417
but I don't think it's her.

716
00:31:58,484 --> 00:31:59,551
Well, then who?

717
00:31:59,618 --> 00:32:01,253
I've been having
this nutty dream lately

718
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,222
which is the reason
I pulled the fire alarm

719
00:32:03,289 --> 00:32:05,391
the other day.
It's a massacre,

720
00:32:05,457 --> 00:32:06,592
here in the office.

721
00:32:06,658 --> 00:32:08,694
This shooter comes in,
wipes everybody out.

722
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,963
I was certain it was going
to happen for real,

723
00:32:11,030 --> 00:32:12,531
but last night I realized,

724
00:32:12,598 --> 00:32:13,865
it was a metaphor.

725
00:32:13,932 --> 00:32:16,702
I'm sorry,
I'm not following any of this.

726
00:32:16,768 --> 00:32:19,671
This new assistant district
attorney, Elliot?

727
00:32:19,738 --> 00:32:21,207
He's holding the gun.

728
00:32:21,273 --> 00:32:23,409
Are you saying he's the one
that's feeding

729
00:32:23,475 --> 00:32:25,344
Watt information?

730
00:32:25,411 --> 00:32:27,246
But he's only privy
to what we're privy to--

731
00:32:27,313 --> 00:32:28,714
the information
in the depositions.

732
00:32:28,780 --> 00:32:30,916
In fact, he didn't even depose
some of these witnesses.

733
00:32:30,983 --> 00:32:32,518
I can't explain it yet.

734
00:32:32,584 --> 00:32:33,952
I don't know how it works,
but...

735
00:32:34,020 --> 00:32:35,421
Okay.

736
00:32:35,487 --> 00:32:36,688
Here's the walk with me part.

737
00:32:38,357 --> 00:32:40,426
Allison, I have to be
honest with you,

738
00:32:40,492 --> 00:32:42,995
what you're saying doesn't...
make a whole lot of sense.

739
00:32:43,062 --> 00:32:44,696
And unless you can
fill in the blanks

740
00:32:44,763 --> 00:32:46,332
and do it quickly,
I have no choice

741
00:32:46,398 --> 00:32:47,766
but to head over
to Watt's office

742
00:32:47,833 --> 00:32:48,934
-and try to cut a deal.
-What?

743
00:32:49,001 --> 00:32:50,969
I'm on my way there now.
I'm boxed in.

744
00:32:51,037 --> 00:32:52,471
Unless I can assure
the Mayor that

745
00:32:52,538 --> 00:32:53,772
Larry Watt's not gonna catch me

746
00:32:53,839 --> 00:32:55,974
with my pants down again
in court,

747
00:32:56,042 --> 00:32:58,210
I really have no option.
You all right?

748
00:32:59,778 --> 00:33:01,447
What are you
staring at, Allison?

749
00:33:01,513 --> 00:33:04,183
My metaphor, I hope.

750
00:33:09,088 --> 00:33:10,556
Larry Watt's waiting for me.

751
00:33:10,622 --> 00:33:12,458
-No, don't go yet.
-I have to go.

752
00:33:12,524 --> 00:33:14,260
This woman matters.

753
00:33:14,326 --> 00:33:15,494
This woman is important.

754
00:33:25,337 --> 00:33:26,405
DEVALOS:
Come in.

755
00:33:26,738 --> 00:33:28,307
Elliot.

756
00:33:28,374 --> 00:33:30,008
Mr. District Attorney.

757
00:33:30,076 --> 00:33:31,977
I've asked you to come in,
Elliot, because even though

758
00:33:32,044 --> 00:33:33,412
you've worked here
only a short time,

759
00:33:33,479 --> 00:33:35,814
I've come to feel
a certain connection with you,

760
00:33:35,881 --> 00:33:37,416
and I wanted to share something.

761
00:33:37,483 --> 00:33:39,218
Something that very few people

762
00:33:39,285 --> 00:33:42,488
other than Mrs. Dubois
here know about me.

763
00:33:42,554 --> 00:33:45,824
Well, thank you, uh, I guess.

764
00:33:45,891 --> 00:33:48,827
I'm a psychic, Elliot.

765
00:33:48,894 --> 00:33:50,762
( chuckles )

766
00:33:50,829 --> 00:33:51,763
Excuse me?

767
00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:53,565
I'm a psychic.

768
00:33:53,632 --> 00:33:57,636
I can pluck things
from people's minds.

769
00:33:57,703 --> 00:34:00,939
For instance, even though
you've never introduced us,

770
00:34:01,006 --> 00:34:02,708
I know that your
fiancée works

771
00:34:02,774 --> 00:34:05,877
in Student Services
over at Mesa University

772
00:34:05,944 --> 00:34:10,616
as a psychiatrist,
I believe.

773
00:34:10,682 --> 00:34:11,817
How am I doing?

774
00:34:11,883 --> 00:34:13,152
May I sit down?

775
00:34:13,219 --> 00:34:14,753
No.

776
00:34:14,820 --> 00:34:17,289
And I bet if I subpoenaed
her records,

777
00:34:17,356 --> 00:34:20,692
I'd find that she met
with young Amanda Staley,

778
00:34:20,759 --> 00:34:22,461
helped her cope
with her heartache

779
00:34:22,528 --> 00:34:25,797
after she realized that she fell
in love with her roommate.

780
00:34:25,864 --> 00:34:27,833
If could just sit...

781
00:34:27,899 --> 00:34:30,702
I need you to stay
right where you are.

782
00:34:32,971 --> 00:34:37,709
I'm also sensing that she met
with Randy Pilgrim.

783
00:34:37,776 --> 00:34:40,779
Helped him deal with the guilt
of growing up in a family

784
00:34:40,846 --> 00:34:42,414
filled with racists and worse.

785
00:34:42,481 --> 00:34:43,415
Am I warm?

786
00:34:43,482 --> 00:34:46,585
I'm feeling a little faint,
actually...

787
00:34:46,652 --> 00:34:48,954
Stay where you are.

788
00:34:49,020 --> 00:34:50,656
So Attorney Watt
would come into the courtroom

789
00:34:50,722 --> 00:34:53,091
armed with all this
information ahead of time.

790
00:34:53,159 --> 00:34:55,026
He'd put on a little act,

791
00:34:55,093 --> 00:34:56,295
pretend that the
District Attorney

792
00:34:56,362 --> 00:34:57,529
was beating the pants off him,

793
00:34:57,596 --> 00:34:59,598
and then just
in the nick of time,

794
00:34:59,665 --> 00:35:04,136
he'd get some new and explosive
information from his psychic,

795
00:35:04,203 --> 00:35:08,073
all to convince us
that he was unbeatable.

796
00:35:08,140 --> 00:35:09,808
All to convince us
that we'd better make a deal.

797
00:35:09,875 --> 00:35:12,678
How much you make a year
working for the city, Elliot?

798
00:35:12,744 --> 00:35:16,182
And what was Watt promising?
About three times that?

799
00:35:16,248 --> 00:35:18,784
There are two
options here, Elliot,

800
00:35:18,850 --> 00:35:21,119
and I want you to pick one.

801
00:35:21,187 --> 00:35:24,323
I fire you right here and now,
report you to the Arizona Bar.

802
00:35:24,390 --> 00:35:25,891
They strip you of your license

803
00:35:25,957 --> 00:35:30,696
and you never work as a lawyer
again ever, anywhere.

804
00:35:30,762 --> 00:35:32,231
Or option two:

805
00:35:32,298 --> 00:35:34,132
you help me even
the score a bit,

806
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:35,367
I still fire you,

807
00:35:35,434 --> 00:35:37,503
write a horrible letter
of recommendation for your file,

808
00:35:37,569 --> 00:35:39,405
but with hard work
in four or five years,

809
00:35:39,471 --> 00:35:40,872
you might get with a decent firm

810
00:35:40,939 --> 00:35:42,874
and be able to actually earn
a living.

811
00:35:42,941 --> 00:35:45,544
Don't tell me.

812
00:35:45,611 --> 00:35:48,146
Don't tell me 'cause
I'm guessing

813
00:35:48,214 --> 00:35:52,384
that you pick option number two.

814
00:35:52,451 --> 00:35:54,486
Mr. James,
in your deposition,

815
00:35:54,553 --> 00:35:56,588
you described yourself
as the team manager.

816
00:35:56,655 --> 00:35:59,558
And isn't it true
that part of your responsibility

817
00:35:59,625 --> 00:36:01,059
was to pick up Damon Hodges

818
00:36:01,126 --> 00:36:03,562
at 6:30 every morning,
make sure he was

819
00:36:03,629 --> 00:36:04,863
there for practice?

820
00:36:04,930 --> 00:36:06,265
Yes, sir.

821
00:36:06,332 --> 00:36:07,366
And isn't it fair

822
00:36:07,433 --> 00:36:09,601
to say that you enjoyed
that part of your job,

823
00:36:09,668 --> 00:36:12,504
that you admired Mr. Hodges,
found him glamorous,

824
00:36:12,571 --> 00:36:13,972
enjoyed being in his company?

825
00:36:14,039 --> 00:36:15,774
Yes, sir, I did.

826
00:36:15,841 --> 00:36:17,175
Now, in your deposition,

827
00:36:17,243 --> 00:36:20,212
you stated that you picked up
Damon Hodges for practice

828
00:36:20,279 --> 00:36:21,780
on the morning in question
at 6:30.

829
00:36:21,847 --> 00:36:23,349
And he confessed that he had

830
00:36:23,415 --> 00:36:25,083
a young woman
over the night before

831
00:36:25,150 --> 00:36:27,419
who apparently had left
in the middle of the night.

832
00:36:27,486 --> 00:36:29,588
You then go on
to describe how Damon said

833
00:36:29,655 --> 00:36:31,357
he just needed
to brush his teeth

834
00:36:31,423 --> 00:36:32,924
and headed into the bathroom,

835
00:36:32,991 --> 00:36:35,794
that you then heard Damon
hollering,

836
00:36:35,861 --> 00:36:39,030
screaming for you to call 911.

837
00:36:39,097 --> 00:36:41,267
Isn't it true

838
00:36:41,333 --> 00:36:43,034
that when you were deposed
by my office,

839
00:36:43,101 --> 00:36:44,536
we showed you
these phone records

840
00:36:44,603 --> 00:36:46,305
indicating you received
a phone call

841
00:36:46,372 --> 00:36:48,006
at 4:30 in the morning?

842
00:36:48,073 --> 00:36:51,042
A phone call that was made
from a pay phone

843
00:36:51,109 --> 00:36:54,112
not three blocks
from Damon Hodges' townhouse?

844
00:36:54,179 --> 00:36:55,947
A phone call that you
repeatedly insisted

845
00:36:56,014 --> 00:36:57,349
was simply a wrong number

846
00:36:57,416 --> 00:36:59,150
and that woke you
from a sound sleep?

847
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:01,653
That's what I said.

848
00:37:04,490 --> 00:37:06,057
Is that the truth?

849
00:37:11,397 --> 00:37:12,564
No, it is not.

850
00:37:12,631 --> 00:37:14,533
-Objection.
-Overruled.

851
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,802
You'll have your opportunity
to cross.

852
00:37:16,868 --> 00:37:18,203
Proceed.

853
00:37:18,270 --> 00:37:20,706
The truth is it was Damon Hodges

854
00:37:20,772 --> 00:37:23,141
who called you at 4:30
that morning, isn't it?

855
00:37:23,208 --> 00:37:25,411
Yes, sir.

856
00:37:25,477 --> 00:37:27,779
And you went to his apartment
at 4:45,

857
00:37:27,846 --> 00:37:30,248
-not at 6:30.
-Yes.

858
00:37:30,316 --> 00:37:32,318
Objection, Your Honor.
Counsel's leading the witness.

859
00:37:32,384 --> 00:37:33,885
Overruled, Mr. Watt.

860
00:37:33,952 --> 00:37:37,456
Now what really happened
when you arrived there?

861
00:37:40,726 --> 00:37:43,362
I saw Amy Bannister.

862
00:37:43,429 --> 00:37:45,764
Damon told me that he brought
her home to party,

863
00:37:45,831 --> 00:37:46,898
but she wasn't into it.

864
00:37:46,965 --> 00:37:49,234
She wanted to leave.

865
00:37:49,301 --> 00:37:50,902
They had a fight,
and he pushed her down,

866
00:37:50,969 --> 00:37:53,004
she hit her head
on the shower door.

867
00:37:53,071 --> 00:37:54,640
He said it happened really fast.

868
00:37:54,706 --> 00:37:58,677
He was scared and he wanted me
to help him cover it up.

869
00:37:58,744 --> 00:38:00,045
( people murmuring )

870
00:38:00,111 --> 00:38:01,480
We poured vodka down her throat

871
00:38:01,547 --> 00:38:04,716
and then waited until 6:30
to call 911.

872
00:38:04,783 --> 00:38:07,986
And what did you do until 6:30?

873
00:38:10,556 --> 00:38:14,593
We played cards.
Damon wanted to play cards.

874
00:38:14,660 --> 00:38:16,828
( people murmuring )

875
00:38:18,430 --> 00:38:19,531
No further questions.

876
00:38:21,367 --> 00:38:23,435
JUDGE:
Mr. Watt, your witness.

877
00:38:29,408 --> 00:38:31,377
It's pretty interesting,
Mr. James.

878
00:38:31,443 --> 00:38:34,212
You tell one story
for months and months,

879
00:38:34,279 --> 00:38:36,848
you tell it to the police,
you tell it in depositions,

880
00:38:36,915 --> 00:38:40,452
and then you get here in court
and you change it.

881
00:38:40,519 --> 00:38:42,588
Why would you do
a thing like that?

882
00:38:42,654 --> 00:38:46,057
I felt bad. I couldn't sleep.

883
00:38:48,093 --> 00:38:50,161
You couldn't sleep
because you felt badly

884
00:38:50,228 --> 00:38:52,097
about lying before,
or you couldn't sleep

885
00:38:52,163 --> 00:38:54,933
because you felt badly
about having to lie today?

886
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,134
Objection, Your Honor.

887
00:38:56,201 --> 00:38:57,703
Sustained. Mr. Watt,
if you're going

888
00:38:57,769 --> 00:38:59,137
to attack this witness's
testimony,

889
00:38:59,204 --> 00:39:01,440
I need you to do it
based on matters of record,

890
00:39:01,507 --> 00:39:03,274
not by restating the obvious.

891
00:39:03,341 --> 00:39:05,677
I apologize, Your Honor.

892
00:39:07,078 --> 00:39:09,347
Mr. Watt,
are you going to proceed

893
00:39:09,415 --> 00:39:11,950
or shall we dismiss
the witness?

894
00:39:14,252 --> 00:39:18,757
Mr. Watt, I need to know
if you've concluded your cross.

895
00:39:20,459 --> 00:39:23,862
( people murmuring )

896
00:39:26,264 --> 00:39:27,365
Mr. Watt?

897
00:39:29,701 --> 00:39:32,237
Your Honor, actually, I have
several more questions

898
00:39:32,303 --> 00:39:33,238
for this witness.

899
00:39:33,304 --> 00:39:34,506
We are all ears, Mr. Watt.

900
00:39:34,573 --> 00:39:36,241
Thank you, Your Honor.

901
00:39:40,646 --> 00:39:42,347
So you couldn't sleep

902
00:39:42,414 --> 00:39:44,349
and that's why you changed
your story today?

903
00:39:44,416 --> 00:39:47,686
Yes, sir. I couldn't sleep.
I couldn't study.

904
00:39:47,753 --> 00:39:49,320
I couldn't do much
of anything.

905
00:39:49,387 --> 00:39:51,990
And you're sure this doesn't
have anything to do

906
00:39:52,057 --> 00:39:53,258
with you father, Mr. James?

907
00:39:53,324 --> 00:39:55,360
How do you mean?

908
00:39:55,427 --> 00:39:57,696
Well, isn't it true
that your father is staring

909
00:39:57,763 --> 00:40:00,098
at multiple felony charges
filed by this district attorney?

910
00:40:00,165 --> 00:40:02,033
Objection: irrelevant.

911
00:40:02,100 --> 00:40:03,101
Whoever this young man's
father is...

912
00:40:03,168 --> 00:40:04,369
Overruled.

913
00:40:04,436 --> 00:40:06,371
For theft, for forgery,

914
00:40:06,438 --> 00:40:08,574
for credit card fraud,

915
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,408
for the sale of narcotics
to a minor?

916
00:40:10,476 --> 00:40:11,677
Objection.

917
00:40:11,743 --> 00:40:13,278
Overruled, Counsel.

918
00:40:13,344 --> 00:40:14,513
Get to the question, Counsel.

919
00:40:14,580 --> 00:40:16,882
And isn't it true
that the sudden change

920
00:40:16,948 --> 00:40:18,884
in your story today
has more to do

921
00:40:18,950 --> 00:40:21,019
with the District Attorney
promising

922
00:40:21,086 --> 00:40:22,788
to go easy on good ol' dad?

923
00:40:22,854 --> 00:40:24,255
I must object!

924
00:40:24,322 --> 00:40:25,123
Overruled.

925
00:40:25,190 --> 00:40:27,759
Remember, Mr. James,

926
00:40:27,826 --> 00:40:29,427
you are under oath.

927
00:40:29,495 --> 00:40:31,296
You are in a court of law

928
00:40:31,362 --> 00:40:33,298
and I am asking you
a direct question.

929
00:40:33,364 --> 00:40:37,836
Isn't it true that the reason
for changing your story today

930
00:40:37,903 --> 00:40:40,606
has nothing to do with my client

931
00:40:40,672 --> 00:40:45,243
nothing to do with the truth,
nothing to do with justice,

932
00:40:45,310 --> 00:40:48,814
but has everything to do
with your degenerate father

933
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,549
and some understanding
between you

934
00:40:50,616 --> 00:40:52,150
and the District Attorney here?

935
00:40:52,217 --> 00:40:54,085
That is not true, sir.

936
00:40:54,152 --> 00:40:55,253
Oh, really?

937
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,455
Are you denying that
as we speak,

938
00:40:57,523 --> 00:41:00,358
your father sits in a cell
in Prescott,

939
00:41:00,425 --> 00:41:02,260
awaiting extradition to Phoenix?

940
00:41:02,327 --> 00:41:05,564
Sir, my father's an appellate
court judge

941
00:41:05,631 --> 00:41:07,833
in the Sixth District
of the state of Missouri.

942
00:41:07,899 --> 00:41:10,869
Although, currently
he's on temporary leave

943
00:41:10,936 --> 00:41:13,639
to work on a U.N. commission
investigating aid to Africa.

944
00:41:13,705 --> 00:41:17,242
In fact, the two of you
went to the same law school.

945
00:41:17,308 --> 00:41:21,046
He was a year behind you--
Bennett James?

946
00:41:22,748 --> 00:41:24,883
He said to say hello.

947
00:41:24,950 --> 00:41:27,052
( people murmuring )

948
00:41:27,118 --> 00:41:28,987
Oh.

949
00:41:29,054 --> 00:41:32,658
( people laughing )

950
00:41:32,724 --> 00:41:34,125
( gavel pounding )

951
00:41:34,192 --> 00:41:36,161
JUDGE: Mr. Watt,
is there any follow-up?

952
00:41:36,227 --> 00:41:39,264
Was there any basis
to this line of questioning?

953
00:41:39,330 --> 00:41:42,000
You just attacked
this witness ruthlessly,

954
00:41:42,067 --> 00:41:44,369
and I-- and I'm sure I'm
speaking for these 12 jurors--

955
00:41:44,435 --> 00:41:46,738
as well, would like
to know why.

956
00:41:46,805 --> 00:41:51,042
Begging Your,
Your Honor's pardon.

957
00:41:51,109 --> 00:41:53,679
Before proceeding, defense would
like to take a moment

958
00:41:53,745 --> 00:41:55,213
to confer with the prosecution.

959
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:56,381
This is highly irregular.

960
00:41:56,447 --> 00:41:58,249
Keep it brief.

961
00:42:05,924 --> 00:42:08,326
Hey, Manny, I got to believe

962
00:42:08,393 --> 00:42:10,495
there's some kind of
a deal to be made here.

963
00:42:10,562 --> 00:42:12,130
You know, one that's
good for everyone.

964
00:42:12,197 --> 00:42:13,999
What do you say?

965
00:42:14,065 --> 00:42:18,369

00:42:19,938 --> 00:42:21,707
Don't look so shocked.

968
00:42:21,773 --> 00:42:25,343
You, of all people,
had to see this coming.
