Do you want some more champagne, honey?

No, l'm fine, thanks.

Honey?

Honey? Honey! Honey!

Hello?

Mrs. Sawyer?

l'm Tom Foreman, your lawyer.

l'm very sorry for what happened to your husband.

Thank you.

Now, when are you going to get me out of jail?

Getting out is not gonna be that easy.

You see, a whole lot of people think you killed your husband...

...while having sex.

That's ridiculous.

Do you think sex can be that good?

Usually it depends on who l do it with.

My husband was taking pills for a heart condition.

You don't really believed l killed my husband, do you?

l don't know.

You inherited a lot of money from his trust fund.

A lot of people would kill someone for 20 million dollars.

l don't care about the money.

l'd give it all up just to have Steve back.

You're on TV.

And in the local news...

Tomorrow begins the trial of Jane Sawyer...

The woman accused of killing her husband...

District Attorney Steven Sawyer died while making love.

With no evidence or no witnesses...

this will be the shortest trial in criminal history.

So, do you think she's guilty?

lt's what the jury thinks that matters most.

Not what l think.

Tom? What are you thinking about? Tom?

Nothin'.

What is this trial about?

A man makes love to his wife...

And he, unfortunately, passes during the act.

The man has a heart condition...

...yet somehow, his wife is responsible.

Steven Sawyer's family is mourning...

And l understand their pain...

But that does not make a criminal out of my client.

Steven Sawyer's family is angry...

...because he left his wife some money.

Every man would want to take care of the woman he loved...

...when he was gone.

Steven Sawyer is no exception.

Mr. Sawyer died a peaceful death...

...in the most loving arms of all, - his wife.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury...

What happened was a sad and terrible accident...

But only an accident.

Thank you.

- That was fast. - ls that good?

On the count of murder in the first degree...

We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty.

Thank you. Thank you, so much.

So, what are you gonna do now that you're free, Mrs. Sawyer?

Gonna go find a man who can handle me.

Mrs. Sawyer, what are you gonna do?

Well, as you can imagine, this trial has been hell on me...

All l want to do now is go visit my husband's grave...

...and have a little mourning time.

No more questions, please. Thank you.

Do people really believe that shit?

Most of them, yeah. lf they read it, they believe it.

ldiots.

Oh, don't get it. Come on. Just...

Shit!

Yeah?

- l have something that should interest you.

Yeah? What might that be?

- lt's a video of Jane and Steve Sawyer's first encounter.

What's so interesting about it?

Watch it. You'll see. lt's already in your mail box.

What's wrong?

Nothin'. l'll be right back.

- What's that? - l don't know.

Hi. l'm with the agency.

What's this ''agency'' thing? ls she a call girl?

l'm not sure. l guess so.

So, what are you working on?

Just some big Mafia trial l have next month in L.A.

Oh, so, you're a Mob lawyer.

No, l'm one of the good guys. l want to put them in jail.

- 'Cause they've been bad. - Very bad.

l've also been very bad.

- Does she excite you? - A little.

Do l?

Steve?

Are you asleep?

l think you can probably turn that off, now.

l think we've seen the interesting parts.

Wait a second.

What the hell is she doin'?

l don't know.

Okay.

l've got some research to do.

l just hope your research doesn't include...

...sleeping with that slut.

Oh, l hope so, too.

Listen...

lf we take my bureaus and add it to your interview...

We can really make something great here.

Hi...

l'll leave you two guys alone.

Great. l'll see you at lunch in ten.

Okay.

Hi, Tom.

Why the hell are you here?

Jane Sawyer.

l need to know what she was doin' six months ago.

You just finished representing her.

You know something.

No. Yeah. Sort of.

l think she's, or was, a working girl...

...when she met Steve Sawyer.

You know there's no confidentiality...

...when you're talkin' to a reporter.

Everything you say can wind up on TV.

l just want to know about her husband.

Steve?

l knew him.

He was a good man.

He was fighting for the city, trying to crush organized crime.

He was honest, hard working, a great District Attorney.

Was he known for using call girls?

You remember Heidi's trial. Who doesn't in this town?

You didn't answer my question.

Yes. He used call girls.

He was single and working like crazy...

He didn't have time to date.

Yeah. l know the feeling.

Okay, Tom, what do you wanna know?

We haven't seen each other outside of court in...

...at least two years.

Really? lt's been that long?

Excuse me...

Tom. Go...

Tom, you'd better get your ass back here right now.

Why?

l've got the piece of the puzzle that we're looking for.

All right.... Sandra, l've gotta go.

Same old Tom...

Get what you want, and you're out the door.

Tom? Don't come back.

lt came in this morning in the mail.

Pretty good photo, huh?

Magazine ad from three months ago.

Jane Sawyer was a call girl.

So who is feeding you all this information?

l don't know. Some kind of deep throat.

What does he want?

Tom, you're a lawyer.

You're not a reporter, and you're not a cop.

You can't expose her, and you can't arrest her.

You defended her.

Did you get the information l asked for?

Most of it.

Fill me in.

Johnny Tambata and Freddy Denitro are two big-time mobsters...

Yeah, l went to school with Freddy's brother.

l bailed him out many a time.

Joey Denitro?

They found his body in the harbor...

Yeah, it was bad.

Steve Sawyer was investigating connections...

...between politicians and the Tambata and Denitro families.

Dangerous job.

l dug a little deeper on the Tambata family.

lt appears that they run everything you can imagine...

...from Maine all the way to Florida.

l mean, we're talking rackets, drugs and prostitution.

Yeah, l remember now. Johnny Tambata...

lf he's running call girls...

...your friend Jane might be one of his.

l don't know. lt sounds too simple.

Steve Sawyer is investigating the ties between...

the Denitro and Tambata families.

He goes to Hawaii for some well-deserved 'R' and 'R'.

Tambata sends him Jane.

They go at like wild rabbits.

Tambata videotapes it, and then he blackmails Steve.

Congratulations.

You should've been a prosecutor, not a defense attorney.

There's somethin' missin'.

Now, why would Steve Sawyer marry Jane if he knew...

...she was a call girl?

l think l gotta pay a little visit to my ex-client.

Thanks.

Mrs. Sawyer? Mrs. Sawyer? Jane? Jane?

Why don't you meet me downstairs?

Shit!

Yeah? Uh-huh.

Okay. l'll be down in a minute.

Great. Not you again.

What the hell do you want, Tom?

Do you know the guys in these pictures?

Did you take these?

Very funny.

l never tried that position before. Have you?

lt's one of my favorites.

Do women like it?

They seem to love it.

lt's been a really long time, Tom.

Tell me about it.

l enjoyed it.

Tom, l don't think we should.

Mmm, that was great.

Yeah. Why'd we ever stop seein' each other?

'Cause you were living with someone else.

Oh, yeah.

So do you recognize anybody in these pictures?

Yeah. That's Johnny Tambata.

You're kiddin' me.

Nope. l covered his trial three years ago...

Believe me, l'll never forget what this jerk looks like.

That's Johnny Tambata. l've never seen his picture.

He doesn't like to be photographed.

He's really secretive.

A Mafia Don linked to the wife of a dead D.A.

He ordered the murder of your client's husband.

Your client probably did it.

lt's one hell of a great story.

lf it's true, she's goin' to jail.

You gotta give me until tomorrow.

Okay.

Rick, get in here now!

We have an exclusive on Sawyer's murder!

Get me the 'B' roll from last trial...

And an 'E' and 'G' crew now!

Good morning.

l made you breakfast.

Thanks.

Here is where it all started.

Jane Sawyer, wife of District Attorney Steven Sawyer, was...

...accused of killing her husband...

...while having sex with him.

With the help of her talented attorney, Tom Foreman...

...she was found not guilty.

She called me talented.

But a different story is now unfolding...

And the shocking truth will cost a lot of people their careers.

Shit. That bitch. l'll kill her.

These photos l've obtained through a long investigation.

You showed her the photos?

Shit. Anybody finds out, l'll be disbarred.

These photos show Mrs. Sawyer in the company of various men...

...including notorious mobster, Johnny Tambata.

Oh, shit. l'm dead. Jane's gonna kill me.

l'm gonna kill that reporter first.

Back to you in the studio, Peter.

Yeah?

You did a great job.

Okay. Enough with the games. Who is this?

We should meet.

Where?

lf you like her, you can have her.

You're the mysterious caller.

Of course. Freddy Denitro. l should've known.

lt's good to see you, too, Tom.

How is everything?

Too many cops on my payroll.

Oh, by the way...

l wanted to thank you for what you did for Joey.

You're an honest man...

And you were always there for my kid brother.

Sorry, he's dead.

He was my only brother. l love him.

l know.

And l want his murderer destroyed!

Freddy? You know who killed Joey?

l've known it all along. l wanted him to suffer.

l want to torture him! l need him to feel the...

Sorry, Freddy.

l can't be involved in anything.

You'll leave when l tell you to leave.

You owe me, Tom.

So, why'd you send me the tape?

What did you find out?

Just that Jane was workin' for Johnny Tambata.

After Steve Sawyer came after you and Tambata...

...either you or Tambata sent him Jane...

...and then blackmailed him.

Johnny did everything.

Why did Steve Sawyer marry Jane?

l don't know. You'll have to ask her.

Have a good day, Tom.

l didn't deserve that! l didn't do anything to you...

Why the hell did you take my photos?!

Why didn't you tell me about Johnny Tambata?

Because it didn't matter!

lt does matter. You killed your husband. l got you off.

l think that entitles me to a little more information.

l want the truth, Jane.

Why? Your case is closed.

Because you lied to me. Because you intrigued me.

Tom, they're gonna kill me.

- Who's they? - The Tambatas.

l'll help you, but you gotta tell me the truth.

Did Johnny Tambata send you to Steven Sawyer?

Because he wanted to blackmail him with the sex tape?

Hey! Come back here!

Who was it?

l don't know.

l gotta go.

You didn't answer my question!

Tom, l'm not sorry. l'm not apologizing.

How did you get on the photos?

l scanned them while you were...

You know, l could sue you for stealin' them.

Tom, don't waste my time.

Our legal department's at the end of the hall.

l'm in trouble, Sandra. Big trouble. l need your help.

Who's the other guy in the photo?

l don't know.

We got forty-six phone calls this morning after the broadcast.

People recognized their brother, their son...

l mean, one guy ratted on his neighbor.

Can l check 'em out?

- Be my guest. - Thanks.

Tom, wait a minute. l want to tell you something.

Jane Sawyer doesn't have a history.

Six months ago, she changed her name.

l can't access the old name.

And she has a new social security number.

A new identity?

Thanks.

Hi. You've reached Jane. Leave me a message.

Jane, it's Tom. Call me.

Hello?

Hi, Tom. lt's Karen.

l'm gonna be a little bit late tonight.

l'm going to a gallery opening.

Hey, Karen, l miss you.

Me, too.

lf l'm sleepin' when you get home, wake me up.

- 'Bye, Tom. - 'Bye, Karen.

Mrs. Sawyer? l'm Karen, Tom's assistant.

And his girlfriend...

What do you want?

l want to talk to you.

l want you to stop seeing Tom.

Our relationship is strictly professional.

Yours or his?

You're a call girl.

Was...

Oh, l see.

You're afraid of me...

Don't worry. Your Tom is safe.

Uh, l'm not into women.

Good. Neither am l.

This is gonna be a piece of cake.

Yeah, l've heard that before.

Shit.

Mrs. Jane Sawyer?

Yeah, that's me.

Please get dressed and follow us.

Am l under arrest?

Ma'am, please. Get dressed. Search the place.

Do you have search warrant?

What do they want?

l don't know.

Here's the search warrant. Both of you get dressed.

We're goin' downtown.

Close the door.

How'd you get in here?

Close the door.

Get outta my office or l call the cops.

l work for someone who's very unhappy...

...about their photo bein' in the paper.

You're talkin' about Mr. Tambata.

What does he expect me to do?

Defend Jane Sawyer.

Defend her for what?

You don't know?

There's a thousand things l don't know...

So be more precise or get the hell out of my office.

Jane Sawyer was arrested this morning.

On what grounds?

The cops found out she killed her husband.

She's already been acquitted. They can't prosecute her again.

l'm talkin' about her first husband.

What first husband?

Mr. Tambata would be very generous...

...if you defend Mrs. Sawyer again.

l can't do that.

You can.

lt's up to Jane.

She can choose whatever lawyer she wants.

We want you to represent her.

l'll go see her. When did she get arrested?

This morning. At dawn.

What's so funny?

She was in bed with another woman.

Yeah. And?

lt's someone you know.

Who?

Karen Richards.

She was in bed with Karen?

So why didn't we meet at the office?

Well, considering what happened last time, l figured...

...we should meet on mutual territory.

Oh, was it that bad?

lt wasn't that. lt was what you did after that.

Are you going to defend her again?

Off the record?

Okay. Off the record.

l don't know yet.

Oh, come on. You'll be on TV all over the world.

This is gonna be bigger than O.J. and the Mendez's all together.

Tom Foreman, the attorney who fucks his client...

...who kills two husbands while having sex with them.

Wait.

She killed her first husband in bed, too?

She's a real black widow, Tom.

Jesus Christ. l don't know if l want to defend her again.

You know you want to.

Especially since she slept with your assistant.

What'd you find on her first husband?

Jonathan Mallice, a judge in Miami, fifty years old...

They were married for three months.

He died of a heart attack while in bed.

His wife was named Mary Allister.

She left Miami after filing for a name change...

...became your Jane and moved to New York.

How'd you get all this information so quick?

lt was left for me.

By who?

Santa Claus, l presume.

Thanks, Sandra. l really gotta go.

Hey, we're closed.

He's with me.

l heard the news.

Unbelievable. Everybody in this town knows faster than me.

l have a good network.

You delivered the file to Sandra Jackson.

l don't know what you're talkin' about.

Oh, sure you do.

Let's say, just for the sake of it, that l did.

Johnny Tambata's people paid me a visit in my office.

They want me to defend Jane.

Whatever.

What's your deal, Freddy?

Tambata went after Sawyer when Sawyer was after us.

He used Jane. Switched Sawyer's pills.

The guy had sex with Jane and died of a heart attack

...because of his pills! Not because of the sex.

How do you know?

l know.

Did Jane know that Steve Sawyer was gonna die?

Maybe yes, maybe no.

What about Judge Mallice?

lt's the same story.

What about the twenty million from the will?

l don't know. Maybe Sawyer gave it to Jane.

Why did Steve Sawyer marry Jane?

You'll have to ask her.

You really hate Tambata?

Yeah.

And now that Sawyer's out of the way, l want Tambata to rot!

Why?

Show Mr. Foreman out, please.

Do you want me to stay?

Your funeral.

Hi, Tom.

- Jonathan Mallice? - First hubby.

Johnny Tambata?

Boyfriend, employer, benefactor.

- Karen?

A good fuck.

The twenty million?

Pre-wired to three banks in different countries.

Hidden to where only l can get at it.

Did you know Jonathan was gonna be killed?

Kind'a.

Did you know Steve was gonna be killed?

No.

Why did they marry you?

l can be pretty convincing.

Right now, you don't know if you want...

...to kill me or fuck me.

You get me out of this...

We'll split the twenty million, fuck like rabbits.

Mr. Foreman! Mr. Foreman! Can we have a word with you?

l'm Sandra Jackson from G.N.N. News.

Could you tell us about this trial?

Last month my client, Jane Sawyer, was accused...

...of murdering her husband, Steven Sawyer, while having sex.

She was found not guilty.

This time, she's being accused of killing...

...her first husband, Jonathan Mallice, in the same way.

This charge is as ridiculous as the first and l am quite sure...

...the judge and jury will once again find her not guilty.

But is she guilty?

Miss Jackson, in our judicial system...

...a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

But you know better than that.

l know better than to talk to journalists.

Back to you in the studio, Peter.

Do you want Jane to go to jail?

l don't give a shit.

l do.

That's 'cause you're doin' her.

That's one of the reasons.

How 'bout Tambata? Do you want him to go to jail?

l want Tambata to get life!

Give me somethin' on him.

lf l give you what l have, your girlfriend's gonna fall.

Let me see what you got.

- You Foreman? - Yeah.

Freddy told me to give this to you.

Don't let it wind up on the evenin' news.

Thanks. l'll try not to.

Hey, Foreman? See you arounds.

lt's from your mystery man.

Well, l married him because you asked me to.

l know, thanks.

But you heard him. The guy wants a piece of me.

Well, maybe we should make another little film.

You know, you're cute?

l like movies. You know that. - l know.

- What are they talkin' about? - l don't know.

What else do you know?

lf he doesn't like your film, you'll take care of him.

What are you talkin' about?

You'll kill him.

l don't have to kill that son-of-a-bitch judge.

The tape is gonna work.

Well, he still knows too much about you.

He may talk.

He'll shut his big mouth, or l'll make him.

Now, come over here. Let's celebrate.

That woman sure gets around.

She sure does.

Do we still have a deal?

What do you mean?

Twenty million dollars.

Can you get me off?

l can try.

That's not good enough.

l have a tape.

What's on it?

You and Tambata talking about Judge Mallice's murder.

Do l say l want to kill him on the tape?

No...

l'm gonna make a deal.

Your Honor, may approach the Bench?

Approach.

Your Honor, a new element has arisen in defense of my client...

And l would like to share it with the Court.

l'm listening.

l meant in chambers, Your Honor.

Come on...

This better not be one of your tricks, Mr. Foreman.

lt's not, Your Honor.

One hour.

''He'll shut his big mouth, or l'll make him...''

You get the idea?

This woman is impressive.

Your Honor, l want complete immunity for my client.

ln exchange, you get the tape.

You can go after Johnny Tambata.

He's a Mob Don who's responsible for the deaths of...

...Judge Mallice and District Attorney Sawyer.

He had the help of your client.

- She didn't know for Sawyer. - She knew for Mallice.

She was manipulated by Tambata.

She was broke. She wanted to be an actress. He used her.

She was a victim.

She was a total victim.

Your Honor...

...sometimes you've gotta let the little fishes go...

...to catch a big shark.

l'd like to have a talk with her.

Could you please have the accused come to my office...

Please sit down.

Thank you, Your Honor.

l made a deal. You walk. Tambata takes the rap.

You can do that?

l'm that good.

Mr. Foreman? Would you excuse us?

Beg your pardon?

l'd like to have a conversation with your client in private.

Your Honor, l don't see...

- Do you want the deal? - Yes, but l don't...

l'm sure His Honor has his reasons, Tom...

All right.

That's a very interesting video.

The live performance is even better.

l thought you were in the Judge's chambers.

l was.

ls she free?

Not yet. She's talkin' to the Judge.

You want to go some place quiet?

Uh, like... just you and me?

How about the meeting room?

Perfect.

So, is this because Jane's with the Judge right now?

Are you jealous?

Don't talk nonsense.

This trial is exhausting me.

Maybe we should take some time off after all this is over.

After careful review of new facts presented to me...

...and after talking to the District Attorney...

... l have reached a decision.

ln the matter of the State versus Jane Sawyer...

...all charges have been dismissed.

You are free to go.

Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.

No problem. lt was easy.

You know, we need to celebrate.

Why don't you come to my place, and we'll have a party.

l'm tired. l'm goin' home.

Don't forget our deal: half the money.

Yeah. Call me tomorrow.

ln a fantastic twist of fate...

...Jane Sawyer was found innocent of all charges...

...after new elements were brought in...

...by wunderkind defense attorney, Tom Foreman.

Mr. Foreman! Mr. Foreman!

Would you please comment on your extraordinary victory?

Well, it's quite simple, Miss Jackson...

My client was innocent, l proved it...

...and thank God, in this country, justice still prevails.

And what are you going to do, Mrs. Sawyer?

l'm gonna try to forget this horrible nightmare.

l just want to live a simpler life...

...away from the media and the press.

l just want to be left alone.

And if Mr. Mallice's family were watching today...

...what would you say to them?

Jonathan was an extraordinary man.

l miss him and l think about him everyday.

Thank you. l'm Sandra Jackson with G.N.N. News...

Back to you in the studio, Peter.

Well, Tom, she's a great liar.

Turn on G.N.N. You're gonna love it.

Following yesterday's final twist in the Black Widow verdict...

Mob kingpin Johnny Tambata was arrested this morning.

He had no comment.

The California and New York Attorneys are collaborating ...

...in an investigation with triple charge of murders...

...Johnny Tambata, Steve Sawyer and Joey Denitro...

...brother of another Mob kingpin Freddy Denitro.

Thank you. And back to you in the studio, Peter.

Are you happy?

You done good, Tommy.

You paid your debt.

Yeah, well, you paid my tuition, Freddy.

The least l could do is pay you back.

Good-bye, Tom.

Good-bye, Freddy.

To us.

Do you know Freddy Denitro?

l've heard of him, but never met him.

He's the only one walkin' away from this whole messed up affair.

Your husband was after him.

You were accused...

Tambata was convicted and sent to jail...

But Freddy?

He's forgotten and lives happily ever after.

Well, we can live happily ever after, too.

Come here.

Think about it.

Freddy's got the most to gain from the two trials.

The first one puts the D.A., who was after him, six feet under...

The second one puts his biggest enemy in prison for life.

Yeah, well, l've got a lot to gain from this, too.

Twenty million dollars...

You've got a lot to gain. Half that.

The question is, what do you want?

Where's the money?

That's just a down payment.

The rest can wait, but l can't.

This is for killing Steve and helping me get out of jail.

Don't say that.

What are you talking about?

l didn't kill Steve.

Oh, yes, right. Do you want a drink?

Wait.

- l'll get it. - Okay.

''This is for killing Steve and helping me get out of jail...''

You look good on TV.

l don't understand.

That's why we chose you to defend Jane.

'Cause you're not so smart.

You should be leaving now, Tommy.

Give me my money...

You promised...

l got you on tape fucking your client...

...and agreeing that you helped her kill Steve.

That's a very serious crime, Tom.

You son-of-a-bitch.

You were right. Always look for who stands to win.

l get rid of the District Attorney...

And Jane gets some money.

But l thought you and Johnny...

Who do you think filmed Jane at Johnny's pool?

l got the brain. She's got the body.

You got nothing!

Get lost, Tom

Now!

Or?

Or l'll send this tape to your friend, the woman journalist.

'Bye-bye, Tom. Oh, and l'll pay your fee.

Yeah, don't worry. You'll receive a check this week.

Oh, don't bother gettin' up. l know where the door is.

l'm not that dumb.

Did you get it all?

Thanks for the exclusive, Tom.

lf l leave now, it'll make the six o'clock news.

They're all yours. Oh, and Jane?

l think you'll need a new lawyer.
