I

hey Fredrik I'm over here

well Alan I think we're finally at the

bottom of the whole damn story want to

get this over with

let's go back to the court

gotta hand it to you Fred care for a man

pulling off a blackmail pretty

nonchalant you know the agendas changed

Alan but I'd hardly call what I'm doing

blackmail

what the hell do you call it then I was

trying to get you to live up to

conventions Alan but that was before I

listen to the rest of the tape

listen to it it's not enough to sneak

onto my property and then secretly

videotaping you gotta listen to the

soundtrack for all the salient details

video Tim what the hell are you talking

about

games ready did you bring the tape or

not I have something for you to listen

to Alan here was that I want the video

tape you made a bee in her having sex

in the mood for your shit ready

I want that tape example she told you

that i made a video didn't have to tell

me she showed it i don't have a video

Alan I don't even know your schooling

until just now I have an audio tape and

this if you don't stop screwing around

and put me back on the project i'll see

to it that you don't produce anything

public service announcement for the rest

of your life you're sick

you need help she kills her lover's Alan

the goddamn woman to serial killer we've

got to take that evidence to the police

he's fine call nine-one-one know what if

we pick up with you you coming home

stop it Alan everything's gonna be okay

we're gonna be together we're gonna make

the movie just like we planned

you could kill this other men didn't you

just kill Freddie well they tried to

leave me

put down the phone Alan I said put it

down

I don't know if you're insane just a

cold-blooded killer but I do know this

you're not gonna get away with it this

time

ladies and gentlemen of the jury what

miss Sanders here is trying to do is

convince you that my client is guilty of

many things guilty of being angry guilty

you know what

miss Sanders is probably right he is

guilty guilty of wanting things that are

so far outside of his grasp guilty of

being outraged to society which rewards

only the wealthy and the manipulative

guilty of yes turn into a bottle when he

felt the mankind rendered him impotent

and powerless except miss Sanders has

failed to do is prove the Bernard

Winslow is guilty of murder failed to

prove beyond a reasonable doubt that

this man committed such a monstrous act

now we all know Bernard Winslow there's

a little bit of Bernard and all of us

I mean who among us is not know what it

feels like to be angry to be frustrated

to feel powerless murdered these

feelings do not a cold-blooded killer

make these feelings don't even make us

unique

now i would venture to say that district

attorney Sanders is the first person to

admit to feelings of that Envy utility

and she is not on trial for murder

so I beseech you go into that room and

come back with the only conceivable

verdict of not guilty

thank you

has the jury reached a verdict we have

your honor the defendant please rise in

the case of the People vs Winslow how

find you your honor in the charge of

murder in the second degree we the jury

find the defendant not guilty jury is

lane gardenia okay before you start

we're going to trial again really what

have you got

dr. Claire Archer suspect in the killing

of that television producer Alan clay

high-profile I like it

da says there's a motive and an

scene what's the motor business deal

gone bad but the witness can be

challenged in the motive is

circumstantial at best the DA searching

for something and I want you to find out

what it is

has she been charged not yet i want you

to file this firm with the court is her

counsel when they do make a formal

charge will arrange for you to turn

yourself into the State Attorney's

Office and then we'll walk through the

arraignment till then got a trial to

prepare for did she do it

she said she didn't and you believe

she's telling the truth

you never asked me whether I believe

Bernard Winslow he wasn't wearing a

short skirt I'm not a judge nor jury I'm

simply her lawyer jurisprudence lane

Fourteenth Amendment wasn't you who

quoted no poet ever interprets nature as

freely as a lawyer interprets truth

truth is the name is gonna kill me I'll

make sure she gets good to me

relinquish your passport / bailiff this

case is bound over for trial and the 14

have been watching doctor is gonna give

new book channel 30 my client has no

comment at this time i will her City

District Attorney's allegations nothing

short of harassment we have every

confidence in this matter will be

resolved early in the procedures no

further comments generally know that

you're like me you're right handle that

very well have dancing as fast as I

could

thanks for taking care of it so quickly

I think that's not stressful place I've

ever been I'm here for you to dinner or

something

paperwork have to get to actually get

home i saw some serious apologizing to

do to my wife

hello Simon hello Simon Simon it's clear

i'm sorry to call you so late

it's alright what's the matter

I'm frightened why what happened

well i got a call just now they said

you said what I said if I kept you as my

counsel that there'd be trouble

you sure that's what the minute yes I'm

sure it was a warning

did you recognize the voice no it was a

woman's voice listen to me it sounds

like someone trying to stir up some

media hype it happens on high-profile

cases like this you really think so

it happens with full report in the

morning till then take the phone off the

hook and try and get some sleep all

right thank you soon

I'm sorry all right

Simon Claire morning I know I'm early

I didn't sleep very well guess I'm not

as resilient as i thought i was would

you like to go out for some coffee

come on i bet you never get out of the

office all right

besides I want to apologize for calling

you in the middle of the night like some

carrots cool

sandra have you heard from him I call

this a/c left over an hour ago

it's not like him to be this late now

this could definitely give a whole new

meaning to the term hung jury

morning ladies where have you been

do I detect a note of indignation in

that question you were supposed to be

here an hour and a half ago to go over

the archer case

Claire and I met over breakfast sort of

why didn't you tell me i wasn't aware I

had to clear my schedule with you Simon

you know what I mean how am I supposed

to stay ahead of this case if I'm

excluded from every meeting clear is a

bit uncomfortable talking in front of

anyone else

Claire is about to have the most

intimate details of her life spilled to

a court room full of people

she's a trained psychologist Simon she's

manipulating you she's not manipulating

anyone look sometimes paranoia was

justified the woman is being persecuted

by the district attorney's office over

something that should've been written

off the books 20 minutes after happened

do you think that attitude is just a

little naive i am part of your defense

team I'm not the enemy and stop acting

like it are you attracted to her she's a

very attractive woman now do you have

the broker deposition

yes sir

there was with you

hello

pay attention thanks i'm going to get

fucked

who is this alright let's go over what

you got again

ok let's see the eyewitness is a

Guatemalan housekeeper she was working

for the next door neighbors at the time

filling in for their regular made it

seems she didn't come forward because of

a problem with the is although the DA

has offered her immunity she does not

speak english very well and she could

not have been closer than a few hundred

yards motive

Alan clay was making a movie based on

Claire archers life prosecution has

several strong statements from Studio

employees that dr. Archer was bitterly

opposed to the content of the script and

the so-called free liberties that having

clay and Deputy summers are taking the

facts aren't enough for libel suit that

for murder unless somebody dug too deep

and exhumed something about dr. Archer

she doesn't want anyone to know he's

gotta have something else up your sleeve

if we're gonna do anymore tonight

how about I go next door in pickups and

denson might as well we're going to

court with this in two days and have yet

to prepare an opening statement

yes

shut the mail slot I will be back in for

sure and get lots of hot mustard

they're closed on Mondays what's on the

tape

nothing nothing important ok yeah it's a

long day when we pick this up tomorrow

Simon you're pale you sure you're ok now

i just need a good night's sleep

okay you go ahead out our Father stuff

goodnight

ok

assignment

I thought you might be working

you were startled I'm sorry I didn't

mean to frighten you

it's alright what are you doing well I

no I have to go to the governor's party

and I hate going to the things alone i

didn't have a date I thought maybe I

could talk you into the job

I've gotta be gotta be at home you know

there's a room full of potential clients

just waiting for you there

ok

ok

hi where have you been

what's the matter where have you been

well i was at the office working on the

archer defense

what's the matter with you I called you

twice

why didn't you answer the phone well the

switchboards off i probably don't see

the phone flashing the I tried to call

you too wise the phone off the hook

someone called i was afraid that they

would call back with another threat

what kind of a threat something about

things turning ugly she wasn't a wrong

they called me by my name was it a man

or woman's voice no it was a whisper

honey

the dog was barking and and then I

thought I heard someone why don't you

ever hear when I need you will change

the fun will file a police report

I don't want to file a damn report i

want my husband home at night I want to

feel safe in my home instead has been

all your nights alone with her in that

office

she's just very demanding of my time so

I mean she works for you not the other

way around

we've got a very heavy caseload right

now just every once in a while I would

like if you spent an evening alone with

me sometimes I don't even know what goes

on here anymore just jealous wife things

oh no you don't

every time I want to talk about

something that you don't want to talk

about you do that eventually things will

settle down will be able to spend some

more time together you have been

promising me a vacation for a year now

how long do I have to wait before it's

my turn

how long does eventually equal

masters has offered me a new book dealer

sensor doesn't seem to be a vacation in

the near future

I'm gonna take it

good morning I know I'm early i'll just

wait if you don't mind that wait up

yes mr. Mitchell service

seven yet now he called me said he was

going by the court has to drop something

off to judge

Hibbert but at his favorite client is

here your letter in this office

hey I tried to stop her I'll handle this

excuse me male is usually considered a

private matter just my nature to be

curious

it's my nature to be suspicious you

think I killed him don't you

it doesn't really matter what I think I

think you and your high moral horse

would sell a client down the river if

you thought it was in the name of

justice the law and justice are not the

same thing

justice is for God then my guilt or

innocence shouldn't be of any concern to

you

someone once said a jury is made up of

12 people brought together decide who

has the best lawyer I hired the best

simon doesn't really like anyone in this

office when he's not here so perhaps you

could wait in the lobby you really take

good care of him don't you

you know he's very fortunate to have

someone fawning over him the way you do

together it's sort of a maternal love

slave despiteful thing happening only he

doesn't know what men seldom do

excuse me

you have a crush how cute you know

there's a whole chapter in my book

called a parent sexual obsession

you should read it you don't know

anything about me don't buy all those

late nights at home alone i bet you know

what kind of food he likes his next

sighs what kind of magazines you read

you've even pictured yourself in bed

with him haven't you fucking you until

the eggs from more promising to leave

his wife only you go down on one more

time go to hell

it would ruin everything if he knew

don't worry your secret's safe

oh by the way you'll never guess who's

gay

hopefully back Wayne please tell Simon

that I waited committing call me at home

and you should see your coworker she

just suddenly became too straaten ran

out of the room

thanks doctor actor I well

Sanders good morning you're looking

lovely as usual clear the child for the

jury

you don't listen Sarah not as much as I

doubt you morality morality everyone is

entitled to the best defense possible

it's nothing personal you bring in

archer with a plea of guilty and i'll

drop the charge for murder one to

manslaughter two

if you had anything you wouldn't be

offering this isn't a game Mitchell

than you think my client is innocent

then I guess it's just your intelligence

that I doubt see you in court counselor

you're leaving

yeah we're not gonna work out of her

house today oh really yes really using

the police pounds

Simon this is ridiculous Lane I go to

trial tomorrow i need you to stay here

and prepare the witness interrogatories

I've done locked then do it again i

can't afford any mistakes

perhaps it's not my mistake you're

concerned about playing what the hell is

wrong with you for the past two weeks

you've been nothing but adversarial to

me

no i do not have the time nor the energy

to deal with your temper tantrums are

your petty jealousies or whatever the

hell it is that's bothering you about

this case

how dare you talk to me like that if you

can't deal with the client can take some

time off

go home take your vacation time I'll

handle this myself

you can't just dismiss me like that you

depend on me for every little thing

you'd be lost without me and you know it

i am perfectly capable of handling my

own affairs poor choice of words

was that supposed to mean whatever you

think it means

we're here where

Claire

Claire the door was open

I know I left it open for you

we're gonna get to it like a drink or

something before we start I have no

thanks

damn late in leaving the police file a

lot of work to have every confidence in

that's enough clear last night someone

dropped off a tape in my office

he was a video of you and Alan clay did

you watch it

it's quite explicit you have an idea who

might have dropped off that tape or why

i did why you said you wanted to know

everything I could have helped if the

jury that I think it's an illicit affair

cost you points at the DA gets ahold of

it'll be construed as motive love tryst

gone awry

it was more than that Alan and I were in

love

the prosecution is trying to establish a

third person on the tennis court that

evening if they can prove that it was

you you become the prime suspect unless

we can determine that there's someone

else with motive

Freddie Summers was using the affair

against Alan Alan called his bluff

do you know someone named Bob simply yes

he was some head of the network rail and

a witness

did you know about you and I don't know

maybe we should told me about this

sooner

I'm sorry i just showed you the tape

because I I thought you should know

everything clear your life is on the

line

I can't afford any surprises for the DEA

no I was actually afraid to let you see

the tape I didn't want you to think of

me you know

my job as your attorney to judge you

what about as a man

silent

sandra hold my calls

7mm got a minute

oh yeah I got a minute i'm going to try

on the morning and i'm completely

unprepared

my client is full of surprises and lanes

picked this particular time to go insane

yeah I got a minute

Lane came into my office earlier ranting

with one of our clients that true lady

is acting like a possessive child she

had a problem with dr. Archer ever since

she walked in the door

good until you're too smart for them

that you never have an affair with a

client

good luck in court

good afternoon broadcasting hello I'd

like to speak to bob different please

one moment

hello

I want you Amy how things are going to

get worse

who is this who is this

no no I don't think anything's missing

place is just messed up

look do you know what time left the

office she left right after you did

no she didn't say no as a matter of fact

she didn't even say that she was leaving

she just ran out and a half

why what's wrong night it's it's nothing

look don't say anything about this to

anybody else alright and I'll be back in

the office later bye lane did this

didn't she

no of course not why not he said she was

angry with you said she was acting crazy

so what I meant Simon who else could

have done this besides lane

I don't know Lane has access to the

alarm code

entry why don't you at least say that it

could have been her I couldn't blame has

been my sister for three years I can't

accuse or something like that it's

unthinkable

she's jealous Simon please

she's obsessed with you she feels

rejected and she's acting irrationally

upset it's not so unthinkable if you

don't see that then you're totally

oblivious which isn't so unthinkable

either sometimes maybe you should do

your homework

read your clients chapter and obsessive

and violent behavior

Oh mr. Mitchell I it was so late i don't

think that maybe factionist a don't know

no going homes picking up so fast

happened is everything alright

yeah everything's fine

I'm signing

you didn't you know he left so quickly

this afternoon I just wanted to make

sure everything was alright

no everything's not alright i made a

mistake Claire should never have let

things go as far as they have this is at

the very least unethical and it has to

stop now my wife so you just can't

switch off something this passion I can

and I will

encounters can't be a professional level

that will remove myself in this case no

you're not walking out on me you're not

gonna leave me you're not gonna believe

this trial if you try to withdraw from

this case make sure everyone knows you

fucking me including the wife you love

so much you're the best defense attorney

money can buy and if you jeopardize this

trial anyway if you blow this case I'm

taking you down with me if you don't

believe it

there's a little late night viewing have

never been better

God you know you want me and I watch you

can't resist

I can't do this you can't not

and

Simon

not as responsive as you were

maybe

Simon

Simon

Simon iphone so your lights out the I

was just getting a cup of coffee kid can

talk about that Friedman case so with

seven months ago yeah

just drop the technical jargon and speak

English well I did what you asked and

has a digital quality of the 911 tape I

ran through every equalizer gain

amplifier I've got is definitely a

woman's voice on the tape but she's

standing too far away from the receiver

and there's too much distortion get a

positive ID don't believe this

you promised me that there wasn't going

to be a problem now in one hour

I'm gonna walk into that courtroom with

one piece of real evidence that I've got

and now you're telling me that I've got

nothing unless I come up with something

real fast that just gonna throw me in

this entire case right out the window

I'm sorry I really thought I could get a

voiceprint but it's cordless phones too

much distortion keep trying

I'm not in the mood for your shit ready

I want that tape example she told you

that i made a video to you didn't have

to tell me she showed it i don't have a

video Alan I didn't even know your

schooling until just now I have an audio

tape and this

hey let's don't go fucking nuts on me

mad just cause you got kicked off a

movie I don't care about the movie their

arteries murder she killed my friend she

killed the radio station manager and she

set up the other guy for the cops to

kill you're sick you need help

she kills her love for his ally the

goddamn woman to serial killer we've got

to take that evidence to the police

ok

ok

ok

and

I

call your first witness counselor

Your Honor the people call Hugh minor

major writing do you swear to tell the

truth the whole truth and nothing but

the truth so help you got i do mr. miner

could you please tell the court what you

do

I'm criminologist and audio specialist

with the Los Angeles Police Department

Your Honor at this time the people would

like to submit into evidence a 911 tape

taken from police records containing a

call from the claim residents the

evening of jun 11 tonight in question

your honor counsel for the defense would

like to stipulate that we have no

knowledge of any tape nor have we been

given an opportunity to review this

material

Your Honor this tape was just made

available to us so noted

I don't like surprises

what's on the tape I have no idea on the

night that Alan clay and Freddie summers

cordless phone on the tennis court Your

Honor I would like to play the contents

of that take for the court objection

motion to suppress your honor the tape

just simply proves that there was a

third party on the tennis court on the

evening of the 11th the essence of time

i'll allow the tape but if I find it

misleading strike it from evidence

thank you

killer

mr. miner can you identify the male

voice on that tape to be that of Ellen

clay yes the voice on the tape is

definitely that a valid clays and the

other voice the woman's voice could that

be the voice of clear Archer objection

it could be anyone's voice Thank You

counsel objection sustained

miss Sanders you'll direct your land of

question to the facts not speculation

yes your honor mr. miner despite the

quality of the tape you can however

conclude that there was a woman on a

tennis court with Alan clay at the time

of the call can you not there is

definitely a woman in proximity at the

time the call was made yes thank you I

have no further questions for this

witness at this time i would however

like to recall him at a later time does

the defense wish to cross-examine yes

you are mr. miner am I to understand

that you can positively identify Alan

plays voice on the tape but not that of

a third party that's correct

and why is that sir the third party was

too far away from the phone receiver to

get a clear voice print however we can

determine it was definitely a woman so

with all the high-tech audio enhancement

at your disposal is there any way

possible to distinguish the third voice

on the tape

not this time there's too much

distortion thank you for the questions

the witness is excused you may step down

the people call Bob simply to the stand

you swear to tell the truth the whole

truth and nothing but the truth so help

you God I do mr. Sibley according to a

sworn statement made by you you explain

that Alan clay and Claire Archer were in

a bitter feud over the contents of a TV

movie script on dr. arches life is that

correct bitter feud did I say that I

must have misunderstood your question

Alan and claire had a disagreement over

some scripted dialogue was more like an

artistic difference between two

colleagues em hardly what your statement

reflects I just told you I might have

misunderstood your question do I need to

remind you mr. silly that you are under

oath

no counselor you don't in your statement

you said that Ellen clay and the writer

Freddie summers came to you with a

script based on a private investigators

journal and diary of dr. archers prior

involvement with the two associates who

are now dead

is that true objection your honor I'm

simply trying to establish that this is

materially dr. Archer did not want in

the public eye

overruled watch your wording miss

Sanders did you tell Freddie summers to

destroy that material

well I never actually read any journals

or diaries the material that i referred

to was the written script it just plain

stunk

did you or did you not see that the

original summer script contained

accounts that would have condemned and

ruin dr. artist career

well you had nothing to do with the

story

what it was about was just bad writing

if we had used it it would run all of

our careers

Your Honor I think that this witness has

been colored objection the DA has no

foundation for that kind of allegation

myths and this is the witness

contradicting his earlier deposition

more like manipulating it your honor

perhaps you should have been more

specific in your line of questioning

sustained then I have no further

questions

you're dismissed

stand

your witness counselor mr. two years a

few moments ago you pointed out my

client dr. Archer identifying her as the

person you saw on the patio on the

oh yes doctor is a very pretty woman

don't you think Oh Jason very picky one

have you ever met dr. before I mean

before that even know

did you forget the claims before no no

you see the woman sitting in the gallery

fran silly to rise

objection your honor these people have

nothing to do with the eyewitness

account mr. Mitchell are you coming to a

point

yes your honor then get there mrs.

Sibley

have you ever seen this woman before

no now from the upstairs window of the

house where you were working to the

patio is roughly 200 yards i said you

agree i don't know maybe so

objection the witness can't be expected

to know the distance between houses

Your Honor for the sake of the court the

distance is exactly 202 yards noted on

this cookie is it safe to say the

distance between where you are sitting

and where I'm standing is a fraction of

the distance between two houses that's

so far no now at one point on the

evening of the 11th France Italy and

Beth clay were both on the tennis court

of the play residents can you tell me

from where you're sitting

beyond a shadow of a doubt which of

these women you saw on the tennis court

objection your honor the witness is

already identified the suspect Your

Honor if mr. Gutierrez cannot

distinguish between these women at the

possibly identify my client at three

times the distance and fading light

overrules biscuit areas you may answer

the question mr. Gutierrez can you

positively identify the woman you saw on

the tennis court that evening

it's alright Musketeers be nearly

impossible to do so

no further questions the witness is

excused his court will stand in recess

until 10am tomorrow

why did you do that what dowhat alter

your statement

Randy leave it alone don't walk away

you can't very well do that my client i

need to confer with my attorney to

someplace we could go

I wanted to be with you so bad last

night I couldn't think of anything else

could have killed me and my wife wanted

to make sure you didn't have second

thoughts but our relationship that clear

shouldn't be in here it's not gonna be

anyone here for at least an hour

I have to remind you how persuasive I

can be

saw their clear Archer left a path of

destruction in her wake enough dead

lovers hear from her pastor Phil

cemetery but there's no proof that no

but three summers journals and and files

about her life are more than enough

motive for murder but it's not enough to

get a conviction

there's more taped phone threats there

are records of her activities two months

prior to the death of a psychologist at

UCLA there are pictures and phone

records and dates she is sick

she's like a spider she lures into her

web and then she devours I can't take

this from you shouldn't even be talking

to you I could be disbarred

nobody knows i have this no one will

if you take this she's gonna walk and

you know it

alright alright i'll have my associate

examinees in camera but I have to know

why are you doing this because Helen

clay will be your last victim

you have to stop her before she does it

again I'm taking a huge risk

I just talked to worth it

Court is now in session the Honorable

Judge James Hokama presiding

Your Honor we've had some new and

important evidence come to life

order to evaluate the material

Your Honor defense request documentation

of any new findings very well this Court

will stand in recess until ten a.m.

monday morning at which time the court

will consider new evidence this Court

journey

your assistant

I did what had to be done and you've got

to tell me you don't know what's at

stake here you've got to lose this one

Simon trust me you talked to the

prosecution didn't you

I consider this an enormous the trails

where Simon Simon is that her she there

hang up the phone what's happening

the casino

where do you think you're going my wife

and I are staying with friends until

after the trial

you're running out of the assignment I

don't like that then I'm going to the

judge and have myself removed from the

case i don't think so

there is nothing you can say to threaten

me I've received my wife and betrayed my

profession

why are you doing this to us

there is no us Claire never was

this is just bad error in judgment by a

very weak man you have any idea what

you're giving up here I've arranged so

we both come out of this virtually

unscathed

you know I knew you'd let me down

you mean a range lane she's so gullible

set her

my god you set us all up

you know I really thought you could have

been the one

counsel approach the bench is there any

way to straighten out this miss your ire

prosecution's evidence is totally

inadmissible miss Sanders how did you

come by this material it was supplied by

reliable informant your honor the

material evidence that was presented to

the district attorney's office your

honor was confiscated through an illegal

break in a burglary at the home of my

client now I have a detailed report here

please note that it is dated less

stolen material come to be in your hands

counselor i am not at liberty to say

your honor but i had no idea it was

stolen

Your Honor the material was given to the

DA's office by a disgruntled employee of

our law firm with Sanders does the

District Attorney's Office have any

further evidence against dr. Archer

other than what we've seen no your honor

step back

District Attorney Sanders I should cite

you for malfeasance in light of the

circumstances brought to the attention

of this court the evidence submitted by

the prosecution was obtained by any

illegal search and seizure and an

unlawful ex parte communication between

the district attorney's office and a

member of the defense team and it is

therefore inadmissible since the

prosecution has failed to come up with

further evidence against dr. Archer and

in light of the extenuating

circumstances this case is dismissed

with prejudice defendant is free to go

ok

ok
