You think Rogoff
would take me back?

Rogoff would kill
to have you back.

What about you?

Well, I guess
I'm just a sore loser.

But I'll get over it.

Are we gonna kiss and make up?

Sure.

Now.

Okay.

♪ Is a gift to be simple ♪

Hey, Douglas.

Leland.

I'm in need of your wisdom
and guidance.

I can help.

I don't know what to do.
I'm so confused.

Sheila again, huh?

No, I'm way past that.

This is a matter of far
greater complexity.

I'm in love with another woman.

I'm afraid when it comes to
matters of the heart, Douglas,

I'm no more qualified
to offer guidance

from the next poor soul.

I'm wild about her.

I'm obsessed by
this naked memory of

our one sexual encounter,

an encounter
so intense, so hot.

Douglas, I don't think

I should be hearing this.

Just tell me what to do.

Well, I don't know.

Enjoy yourself.

But she is older than I am.

Well, maturity can be
very inviting in a woman.

She is going to be 60.

Douglas, I'm extremely
uncomfortable

with this conversation.

It's Rusty!

Rusty?

Your father's Rusty?

- Yes.
- Oh, boy.

Leland, please. I have
no one else to turn to.

I'm sorry. You're on your own.

[instrumental music]

When does Gracie start back with
the D.A.'s office?

Today is her first day.

Oh, any last minute
misgivings or...

I think she is ready to hit
the ground running.

What's that thing?

That thing is a new high
speed office shredder

which will be set up
in the file room.

Sensor Micro-Systems
has retained

us as his council and insist
that we have

secure document disposal
procedures.

What's their big secret?

Whatever it is asking us
to shred sensitive papers

isn't an unreasonable request.

I suggest we get into
the habit of disposing

of all potentially damaging

client material
in like fashion.

Moving along
Davidoff versus Davidoff.

Yeah, we have a meeting
scheduled for next Wednesday.

I assume you will be
covering stock valuations

all corporate holdings?

- Absolutely.
- Absolutely.

Jonathan, I want you setting
in with us on this.

Alright.

In re of the state
of Byron Debeque.

I'm leaving for Eau Claire,
Wisconsin this afternoon.

With any luck,
I should be finished

with all my depositions
by Friday.

So, what's the inside poop,
Victor?

Tina Bianchi was
left $30 million

in Byron Debeque's will.

Two of his children
are claiming undue influence

and lack of
testamentary capacity.

Come on, come on,
give us the dirt.

[chuckles] Well, Byron Debeque
owned a chain of theaters.

Tina was hanging
around backstage

at one of them
during a rock concert

in hopes of meeting
the drummer.

When Byron showed up to
check on the gates, bingo.

Ah, what kind of
relative ages

are we talking about
here, Victor.

Tina was 19 to Byron's 75.

[laughing] Anyway, they met
and they mated,

and for next eight years,
she was his constant companion.

[sighs] The two older children,
Philip and Madeline,

claim that she
was his dominatrix

who walked around
modeling various rubber goods.

[laughs] That sent Byron
into such a frenzy

that he would've
signed anything.

I don't think we're
talking about galoshes here.

The two younger
children Holly and Brynn,

they claim that she
was a trusting wife

and a loving confidant.

The trouble is Holly and Brynn
are 24 year old identical twins

who were last seen
in Puerto Vallarta

with this man who keeps
them both as his mistresses.

Yeah, and who might that be?

Well, all I know
about him right now

is that he is an avid
deep sea fisherman

and, uh,

someone of weight in
the Reagan administration.

- Who?
- Oh, what?

That's what I'm hoping
to find out

when I go to Eau Claire.

Tina and the twins

they workout with
this acrobatics group

that's headquartered there.

Plenty of snapshots, Victor.

I want you to bring me
back plenty of snapshots.

Folks, if we can
finish up here,

State of California
versus Megan Penny.

Well, they offered me
man slaughter,

I turned them down flat.

I don't understand. They have
this woman dead to rights.

I disagree, well, I'm-I'm going
to plead temporary insanity,

and I expect to see her walk.

That doesn't sound like
what I've been reading.

Yeah, I mean, she killed
this guy like a pro.

How you gonna sell
a jury on insanity?

Easy, by hammering on the
context in which it happened.

I mean, how do you think a jury
is gonna feel when they

find out that there
are close to 40,000 people

living in the United States
with full diplomatic immunity.

That means that they
can commit arson, rape,

robbery, murder
and not be punished.

Fine. What does it have to do
with diminished capacity?

Everything.

Megan Penny was told that

because of diplomatic immunity

it was basically okay
with her government

that this man raped her,

and in fact, it was okay
for him to do it again.

So what's the solution, Mike?

Do away with diplomatic
immunity altogether?

Maybe it's not such a bad idea.

Did you ever stop and think
what would happen

to American diplomatic
personnel abroad

if we did away with immunity?

I'll tell you,
I don't have a problem

with an American diplomat
getting sentenced

to prison if he
commits a rape.

They are still separate issues.

The only issue
that I'm concerned with here

is that this woman
does not deserve

to spend 10 minutes in jail.

In another words,
two wrongs make a right?

Please, I did not say that.

You know, you're
pandering to the jury.

You're wrapping
her up in the flag,

and you're gambling
that no ones gonna

worry too much about the law.

Look, I'm trying to represent
a client as best I can.

Are you guys gonna
wish me luck or what?

[machine whirring]
Roxanne: It's easy.

You can feed in about
a dozen pages at a time.

You don't have to worry
about paper clips or staples.

The machine just eats them up.

Okay.

Now, Benny,

if the machine jams up you
just push stop button here.

Right.

Then you push
the reverse button here.

Okay.

And the machine
should clear itself.

Uh-huh.

Or else just come and get me.

Okay.

Well, that's about it.

Go ahead.
Give it a try.

[machine whirring]

[chuckles]

Hey, looks like what you
throw out of the window

when they have a parade.

You're right.
It makes great confetti.

[machine whirring]

Is that why we got it?

Not exactly.

We got it so that
people can't read papers

after we throw them out.

How come they'd want to?

People always look to
get an advantage, Benny.

If they think they
can find out secrets

by digging through
the trash,

they will do it.

With the shredder
all they will find

a quarter inch strips of paper.

Huh.

It does it so fast.

Yeah, you can shred
about 60 pages a minute.

[machine whirring]

[knock on door]

Good morning.

Grace.

We were just talking about you.

- Welcome home.
- Oh. Thanks.

Nice to have your back, Gracie.

Well, it is really
good to be back.

So how things going?
You getting situated?

- Yeah, pretty much.
- Great.

Listen, you tell me
how you want to do it.

You want a couple of days
to kind of

ease back into things.

No, not a chance.

You want to give
her the Murray case?

Oh, Bruce, I don't know.

- What is it?
- Big murder trial.

I want it.

What do you think?

[sighs]

It's a gift.

Wait a minute.
Oh, come on!

He murdered a swan?

In broad daylight.

Right in the pond
of the 17th tee.

Come on, why are we even
charging him with the felony?

PC487, destruction of
property worth over $400.

I know what the codes is,
Bruce.

I'm asking why
are you pushing it?

Call it love of swans.

Call it the Beverly Hills
golf club's

breathing down our neck.

Seriously, you
should see the letters

from the outraged members.

The Hillside Strangler
didn't get this many.

Great.

Look out, Bruce. I think she is
gonna quit again.

[laughing]

There is no question here
that Megan Penny

killed Wilfred Arguello.

Not only does she admit it,
but a news crew

got it on tape
and we're gonna show it to you.

The only question,
here, is why she killed him

and for that she is
claiming temporary insanity.

But as the facts will show you
ladies and gentlemen,

there was no burst
of insanity here.

This is a case of
flat-out revenge.

Pure and simple.

The victim had raped her

three weeks before

and she decided to get even.

There was nothing insane about
the way she purchased the gun

and registered it
with the authorities.

She didn't seem nuts
when she ascertained

the whereabouts of her victim

while planning the murder.

As our psychiatrist
will tell you

this woman's behavior

is the product of cool
reflective thought.

She deliberated
over this murder.

She conceived it.
She visualized it.

She picked the time,
the place...

...and with icy precision,

she executed it.

That having been said,

I'll come clean
and admit right now

that this woman
is a victim herself.

The man raped her,
the police let him go

and she had every right
to be hurt and angry.

But that doesn't
change the fact

that she willfully decided

to take the law
into her own hands.

That doesn't change the fact
that she deliberately,

methodically ended the life
of another human being.

That makes her a criminal,
ladies and gentlemen.

She may be the most
sympathetic murderer

you ever heard tell of.

But she's nevertheless
a murderer.

Adelstein: Okay, uh,

that's Wilfred Arguello there

crossing right in front
with his back to me

and he is walking
into the crowd.

Now you can see his face
right in the top middle here.

That's his father,
the ambassador

over on the right

next to the waiter
holding the drinks.

Now after these
people pass through,

you'll see Ms. Penny come in
on the left side of the screen.

Okay, there she is
in the blue dress.

Now she is gonna
cross to the right

towards Mr. Arguello.

And the rest is pretty
self explanatory,

I'll run it in slow motion.

[indistinct chattering]

[gunshot]

Oh.

[gunshot]

[screams]

[screaming]

Man: Grab her.

Grab her.

Get her out of her.

Get her out. Get her out.

[indistinct shouting]

Lights please.

Judge Michael: You may continue
with your questioning,

Mr. Angeletti.

Did you hear what Ms. Penny
was saying there

as they were pulling her away?

Ah, yes, she said,

"I guess diplomatic immunity

can't stop bullets, can it?"

She said it twice.

Thank you, sir.

No further questions.

We were coming up
to the 14th tee.

Lydia was driving the cart

and I was writing
down our scores

that's when I heard it,
that awful thwacking sound.

What do you mean by
"thwacking," Mrs. Graham?

I mean, thwack, thwack.

You know, thwacking.

I see.

Did you have occasion
to ascertain

the cause of this noise?

I did.

I turned and saw
that hideous person.

- Objection.
- Mrs. Graham?

Mrs. Graham, please just
state the facts of the case

without any personal
remarks about the defendant.

The jury will disregard
the characterization.

Continue, Mrs. Graham.

That man was just womping

the swan with a sand wedge.

Oh, the blood,
the feathers, the yellow gut.

Objection!

- Mrs. Graham.
- It was a vicious murder.

Mrs. Graham, I'm going to
ask you again,

please just state
the simple facts

without any embellishments.

Now do you think you
can do that, please?

- Certainly.
- Thank you.

You may continue, Ms. Van Owen.

What happened next,
Mrs. Graham?

I had a reaction.

What kind of reaction?

You may elaborate, Mrs. Graham.

I threw up on Lydia.

- Your honor.
- Okay.

It just gushed out as soon
as I saw the womped swan.

- Mrs. Graham?
- This is unbelievable.

It was that little
piece of bill,

just dangling from the club.

That is enough.

Sorry, you honor.
No further questions.

Boy, was it dead?

Judge: Mrs. Graham?

And based upon your examination
of Ms. Penny, doctor,

did you make a diagnosis
with respect to her sanity?

Yes, I did.

It was my conclusion
that she knew

exactly what she was doing.

There was nothing delusional
about her behavior.

No evidence of psychosis.

I think she was completely sane.

Nothing further.

[clears throat]

Have you ever been
raped, Dr. Klepp?

Objection, that is inflammatory

and has no relevance
to the case being tried here.

She claims to know
what's going on

inside my client's mind.

I'm simply trying to find out
if she has been there.

Objection overruled.

Have you ever had
a man force you

into your own
apartment at knife point?

No.

Ever had a man put
a knife to your throat

and threatened to kill you?

No.

Ever had a man make you
take all your clothes off,

lie face down on your own bed
while he sodomized you?

No.

And is it your testimony
that you could know

what that's like
just by reading

about it in medical text books?

I didn't say that.

Is it possible, Dr. Klepp,

that if you were raped,

violently raped and then
the police told you

that they left the man
go after he had confessed,

is it possible that just
might make you crazy mad?

I would certainly feel
raged but I don't think--

Thank you, doctor.

Oh, one more question.

Based upon your
examination of Ms. Penny,

do you think that her release

would pose a threat to society?

No. I don't.

No further questions.

Woman: Can you hold, please?

Woman: Hi, can I help you?

Woman 2: Yes, I am.

[indistinct chattering]

Douglas?

Rusty?

Can we talk a minute, please?

Ah, sure.

Come on in.

Woman 3: Mckenzie--

Would you like some coffee?

No. I'll only stay a minute.

Hold my calls.

I came because you didn't
return any of my calls.

Ah.

Uh-huh.

I could lie to you.

Give you some excuse,

but the truth is...

uh...

You don't want
to see me anymore?

Yes.

But not for the reasons
you think.

Doesn't matter.

It's okay.

Listen to me.

You are the sexiest
woman I've ever known.

I haven't been able to sleep
nights thinking about you.

It's just emotionally

I can't handle it.

It's too confusing,
too intense.

I'm not asking anything
from you, Douglas.

I just thought
we had fun, that's all.

Oh, it was more than fun.

It's just who you are.

My father, your son Erroll.

It's just all too complicated.

I don't want to be
a complication.

Is there anything I can do,

anything you need?

I'll be alright.

I just want you to be happy.

[sighs]

- Oh, thank you, Rusty.
- Mm.

You're a great lover, honey,

strong

like your father was.

[instrumental music]

You know, where to find me
if you want me.

And so I walked down to
the pond to retrieve my ball.

I could see it there
in the shallow water.

Suddenly it just
started coming at me.

"It," meaning the swan?

I know how crazy it
sounds, but...

...it was just
charging me with this-

this dreadful honking sound.

It scared the life out of me.

Roitman: Then what did you do?

Well, I-I just swung
my club to fend it off.

I'm not kidding,
I was terrified

and I hit it once like this,

and then I-am-I--

think I caught it again

when I brought the club back

and I must have
gotten it on the head

because he just kind
of dropped in the water.

Mr. Murray, you heard
Mrs. Graham's testimony

that you repeatedly
"womped" the swan.

No. No, it's just not true.

I mean, I did hit him
and yes I did accidentally,

you know, kill it.

But it was purely self-defense.

I would never kill
an animal intentionally.

My God,

especially something
so beautiful as a swan.

Anyone who knows me knows that.

Thank you, sir.

[clears throat]
No further questions.

You had a thousand dollar bet

on this golf match, didn't you?

Yes.

And when you hit
your ball into the pond

on the 17th hole,

you screamed
it was the swan's fault,

isn't that right?

No. It honked
during my back swing.

So you charged it
in a fit of rage, didn't you?

No, no. I just went
to retrieve my ball!

Mr. Murray,
you ruined these slacks

and these shoes to fetch
a $2 golf ball?

I never intended to go in.

I must have just slipped
in when it scared me.

Oh, yes, the dreadful,
frightening honking.

Well, it's the truth.

[honk]

[laughing] Objection.

The jury is entitled to hear
the sound that supposedly--

That is a duck call, it is
completely irrelevant.

It is a goose call
which fairly--

I don't believe this.

Which fairly resembles
the swan mating sound.

It was not looking
to mate, believe me.

Judge Travelini:
Quiet everybody.

Mr. Roitman,
I don't see the harm.

Van Owen: Thank you,
your honor.

[honk]

Is that what scared you, sir?

No, it was much worse
than that little chirp.

Here's one for you.

- Why don't you show us?
- Fine, I will.

- Your honor, may I?
- Why not?

Well, it was huge.

Its wings span must
have been 8 feet across

and it was just coming at me
wild and crazy

sounding like this.

[honking]

Motion to strike
his "honk," judge.

- Objection.
- You gave it to him.

It's inaccurate.

Swan's honk in little
shorter bursts, like this.

[honk]

What the hell...

I object your honor,
she is testifying.

She has no confidence
to run the swan impersonations

in a court of law.

Everybody shut up!

I said shut up!

Counsel in my chambers! Now!

Are you having a good time?

The fact that it's silly is
exactly my point, your honor.

Nobody could be
threatened by those sounds.

Can't you plead
this stupid thing?

Your honor,
my client is innocent.

I have a rebuttal witness
tomorrow.

What?

I just learned about
him this morning.

He goes to defendant's
state of mind

on the golf course,

and then I rest, I promise.

God help me.

Come on, let's go back in.

- You want to redirect?
- Funny Grace.

And what happened
after you identified

Mr. Arguello in
the police line up?

Megan: I went home.

The detective told me
that he would be in touch.

The next day he called

and said that they
had let him go.

Now, Megan, I know that
this is very difficult for you,

but I want you to tell the jury

exactly how this made you feel.

At first

I just...

...felt numb.

And then I would get

angry and I would...

I...

I was afraid.

There was nothing to stop him
from doing it again.

I hardly slept,

and when I did sleep,

I would have these...

these...

I could see his face.

And I could feel
that knife up against my...

[stammers]

So

what did you do?

Cried mostly.

I was in counseling
and everyone told me

that I should try
to go back to work

in order to put it
behind me,

and I did.

I went back to work,

but I couldn't--I--

I couldn't function.

How was I supposed
to put it behind me?

It wasn't finished,
that man was still out there.

So, then at some point,

you decided to do
something about it?

He lived in my neighborhood.

We shopped at
the same grocery store.

God,

what kind of country is this?

This foreigner rapes me
and then he is allowed

to walk around smiling,

enjoying his freedom.

Do you realize that he left

the police station
riding in a limousine?

I couldn't live with that.

I couldn't let him live with it.

I just couldn't.

[sobbing]

[instrumental music]

And I want you to tell us
exactly what happened, sir.

Mr. Johnson, you are
under subpoena,

under oath and I want you
to tell the court

what you saw when
you were caddying

for Mr. Murray
on June 20th 1984.

Well [clears throat]

the foursome had just
teed off on the trail,

and we started heading
for the fairway.

I've gone about 30 yards
or so and I noticed Mr. Murray

wasn't with me.

I turned and I've seen
him still up on the tee

in the middle of a backswing.

I thought "shoot he
is hitting a mulligan."

What's a mulligan, sir?

That's when you
hit a bad tee shot

and you want to
hit over again

not supposed to really.

Anyway, I've seen him swinging
and all of a sudden

it's just coming right at me
and it wasn't no mulligan.

What was it, sir?

- A bullfrog.
- Objection.

He teed up a bullfrog.

- That was an accident.
- Your honor.

Prior bad acts are
totally inadmissible.

Goes to state of mind.

Roitman:
This is a travesty of justice.

Overruled Mr. Roitman,
please sit down.

You may continue, Ms. Van Owen.

Do you know what occasioned
Mr. Murray

to strike the frog,
Mr. Johnson?

Well, he was real mad
at this frog croaking

in the middle of his tee shot.

He sort of just
topped the ball,

and didn't get much of it.

Got all of that frog, though.

- Objection.
- Sustained.

Nothing further. [laughing]

Benny, we need one copy
of everything

in the Davidoff file
for today's meeting.

- Okay.
- Front and back, okay.

And shred this one,
will you, Mr. Stulwicz?

Sure, Arnie.

[telephone rings]

Oh, Benny,
would you give me a hand

with this computer terminal?

Sure.

Just put it over there.

Thank you, Benny.

Yeah.

We've all heard the argument
that you can't let people

take the law into
their own hands

that if victims go
running around

exacting revenge from people.

You gonna have anarchy.

That's why we have
law and order,

courts, trials.

The system is all about.

But the system is imperfect,
ladies and gentlemen.

If a man can rape at knifepoint

and walk free,
because he happens

to be the son of a diplomat,

then you know
the system is imperfect.

Nevertheless,
we endure that system

because we also know
that whatever its flaws,

its underlying
objective is justice.

Now when you go back
into that little room,

I want you to look at
these events very closely

and ask yourself

whether Megan Penny
did anything

to contravene that objective.

This woman was brutally raped,

and she did exactly
what she was supposed to do.

She notified the police,

she went to the station,

she ID'd the suspect,

she stood ready to go to court

to tolerate
the pain of a trial.

In other words,
she jumped through

all of society's hoops
and then they let him go.

Because he was
the son of a diplomat,

they let the rapist go.

And this woman was
left with nothing

but violent memories.

No sense of vindication.

No guarantee that
this immunized psychotic

wouldn't be back.

So she became consumed
with despair, with terror,

with rage to the point where

this young victim felt
driven to strike back.

And when she did strike back,

we all know in our bones

that, that was the one
and only moment of justice

in this whole horrible story.

Now the district attorney,

he is talking about
law and order

and public policy
and all of that,

but what he really wants.

What he is really
asking you to do

is to punish Megan Penny.

Even though the system couldn't
punish Wilfred Arguello,

he is asking you to
find it in your hearts

to punish

this girl.

No,

you don't have
to cheer her actions.

Hmm, you don't even
have to forgive her,

but, my God

after what
this girl's been through,

you can't put her in jail.

No.

You have to
find that my client

was temporarily insane.

You have to.

Because that's the only way
you can let her go.

You don't see anything
wrong in doing that?

I don't see much wrong
with keeping her out of jail.

Oh, come on, Mickey.

You know, you basically winked
at that jury and said,

"look we all know
she was sane,"

but since the guy deserved it

and since the only way
to acquit her

is to find her
temporarily nuts,

let's find her insane, okay.

So what is so terrible
about that?

Hey, pal, you told the jury
to do exactly what she did.

Disregard the law,

take the fastest route

to their interpretation
of justice.

In the big picture,
Grace, I agree with you

but the bottom-line
here is this girl

should not be
doing a life sentence.

No, the bottom-line, counselor

is that you endorse
street justice, that's wrong.

We wouldn't be doing what we do
if we thought it was right.

Fine, so what would
you have done?

I...

I don't know.

I guess that's why I'm glad
to be back at the D.A.'s.

Look, I hear what you're saying

and we're not in
disagreement here.

But if you spend five minutes
with this woman,

let her tell you herself
what she went through,

you would see it differently.

That's all I'm asking
the jury to do.

This is why America
is a great country

because while you're out there

wrestling with
the big picture, Mr. Darrow.

I'm making the world
a safer place for swans.

[chuckles]

When David Murray

came home that night,

he had to look his
six year old daughter, Sarah

straight in the eye,

and admit to her...

...that he had taken
the life of a swan.

And if you could imagine
the sense of remorse

that he must have
felt at that moment.

Try, try ladies and gentlemen,

to comprehend
the utter humiliation

that he must have felt

when telling his
eight year old son, Jimmy

that he was afraid
of this bird.

It was no more embarrassing,
people... then it was true.

The swan scared him,
it suddenly flew at him.

He was startled,
he was afraid and he swung.

If it had been a mountain lion,

there would be no trial here.

But since the district
attorney believes

that no man has the right

to be afraid of
a beautiful swan,

that no man has the right
to be timid or jumpy,

she is looking
for a criminal conviction.

David Murray is not heroic

and David Murray is
certainly not proud,

but members of the jury,

David Murray is definitely

not guilty.

[coughing] Thank you.

[laughing]

Objection.

Ms. Van Owen.

I'm sorry, your honor.

That was really good.

- Your honor.
- Miss Van Owen.

[sighs]

I apologize.

I really do.

But

let-let's all...

...try and imagine

the humiliation,

little eight year old
Jimmy would have felt,

if he had been on
the golf course

to see daddy tee out
the bullfrog.

I mean, come on,

he bashed in that bird's head,

because it cost him a golf bet.

And I do feel badly for
laughing, ladies and gentlemen,

and the fact that we have
all chuckled a little

during this trial in no way
undermines its severity.

Human nature

covets sick jokes.

Either as a defense mechanism

or as a release, or simply

as a means
of coping with events

we find tragic
and this is tragic.

What he did is cruel,

it's sick

and it's totally unforgivable.

And for you to excuse it

would be equally unforgivable.

He shamelessly and brutally
killed a beautiful swan.

His behavior is unacceptable

and repugnant
to decent human beings.

I'm asking you
to tell him that.

Thank you.

Benny, they are waiting
for the Davidoff file.

They want to get set up
for the meeting.

Oh, ah, there it is.

Ah,

Benny, this isn't
the Davidoff file.

I made copies
of the wrong file?

Oh.

Oh, no.

Benny, you made copies
of the file

you were supposed to shred.

Roxy, where's the file?

[stuttering]
I can find it.

I-I can- I can put it
back together.

He got two files mixed up.

Oh, no.

People, how long does it take

to get a file around here?

We got a problem.

I accidentally
shredded it, Leland.

You what?

I fed the Davidoff file into
the shredder

by mistake.

- I'm sorry.
- You're sorry?

You very well may have
cost us this case.

It's not a problem, I'll go over
to Wainwright and O'Connor

and photocopy their files.

There were original
documents in that file

that Wainwright and O'Connor
doesn't have copies of.

That Sol Davidoff
doesn't have copies of.

Give me a chance
to reconstruct them.

We can reschedule the meeting.

Right now, sir,

that is the least
of your problems.

We the jury in the matter of
People versus David Murray

finds the defendant
guilty as charged.

Mr. Murray, Mr. Roitman,
three months probation,

$2000 fine,

full restitution on the bird.

Your honor,
may I say something...

No, you may not.

Mr. Murray,

your attack on
that swan was reprehensible

and my only regret here
is that I can't find a way

to nail your for the frog.

Your honor, it hopped
on top of my balls.

Quiet!

Mr. Murray,

you will not
play golf for one year.

You will perform 200 hours
of community service work

at the Culver City
animal shelter

and if you ever do anything

even remotely like this again,

I will personally
throw you in jail.

- Is that clear?
- Oh, yeah.

Take your client to probation,
counselor.

- Yes, your honor.
- Case adjourned.

[rattling]

[knocking on door]

Come in.

Mr. McKenzie .

Yes, Benny.

It wasn't Jonathan
who shredded that file.

That was me.

I know you can't let me
work here anymore so,

here are my keys.

Benny.

Close the door.

Sit.

Did I fire Jonathan
when I thought he did it?

No.

Then why would I fire you?

Because I might get mixed up
and make another mistake.

There isn't anybody I know
who doesn't make mistakes.

But this was a really big one.

Yeah.

Yes, it was.

But you are part of this firm
and you work very hard

and the work that you do
is appreciated.

We care about you.

We don't turn away people
whom we care about.

Is there anyway
that I can fix what I did?

Nope.

But what you can do is learn
from your mistakes.

Yes, sir.

There are lot of smart people
in the world, Benny,

never wouldn't have had
the courage to come in here.

You showed honesty

and that has nothing
to do with being smart.

You

understand what I'm saying?

- Yes. I-I-I do.
- Yeah.

Alright.

Oh, Benny...

Here, don't forget your keys.

Rusty?

Douglas.

I'm fine. How are you?

Good. Good.

Look, I might as
well just say this.

I want us...

...I need to see you.

Are you free tonight?

Good.

I don't know,
it doesn't matter,

wherever you want to go.

If that's what you want to do,

that's what we will do.

I'll pick you up at 8:00?

Me too.

Bye.

[indistinct chattering]

Clerk: This court
will come to order.

Please be seated.

How are you doing?

Scared.

[man coughs]

Will the defendant please rise.

In the matter of
People versus Megan Penny,

the jury finds the defendant...

...not guilty for reason
of temporary insanity.

[indistinct chattering]

Your honor, I move you
set aside this verdict.

Judge Michael: Order.
This matter is not adjourned.

Psychiatric evidence
is uncontroverted here.

She testified herself
that she could distinguish

between right and wrong
at the time that she killed him

and there was no evidence
to support their finding

of temporary insanity.

They just went back in there
and with blind sympathy,

they completely disregarded...

Motion denied.

The defendant is free to go,

case adjourned.

- Can we go?
- Yeah.

I thought that I would
never be free again.

You are not a criminal,
jury saw that.

I own you my life, Mr. Kuzak.

We got your clients.

For my brother.

[gunshots]

- Oh, my God!
- Oh, Megan!

[screaming]

- Hey, come out.
- I'm a diplomat!

Immunity!

I have immunity!

Call my embassy!

[indistinct shouting]

My embassy, call!

[smooth music]

Your perfume is intoxicating.

Thank you, honey.

I guess all those childhood
dancing lessons

I took paid off.

[instrumental music]

Love you.

[applause]

Do you want to sit down
for a while or get a drink?

[music continues]

Just one more dance, first?

I can't explain it...

If this is wrong,

why am I so happy?

Why is it wrong?

Don't you think
it's a little strange?

The fact that you
were my father's lover.

Do I make you happy?

Oh...

- I've never been happier.
- Hmm.

Am I a good lover?

You're an amazing lover.

I never thought
it could be like this.

I never thought
I deserved it like this.

Oh, honey,

you deserve all the happiness
you can get.

I don't think I've
ever known anybody

as generous and as kind as you.

I try to keep life simple.

Sometimes it's good,
sometimes it's bad.

If you wait out the bad,
without getting bitter,

the good rolls around again.

[laughs]

I don't know what's
gonna happen with us,

but when I'm with you,
it doesn't matter.

I guess because...

...because I love you.

Come to Rusty, honey,

because she loves you, too.

Errol: Mom?

[knocking on door]

Douggie ?

Douggie and mom.

[saxophone music]

Coming to bed soon?

Yeah, soon.

I won my case.

Me too.

You okay, Kuzak?

No.
