Turn and face the wall.

Copy !req
22. All right. That's it.
Copy !req
23. Are you a natural blond?
Copy !req
24. Chicken delight. He deliver.
Copy !req
25. - Don't put that in here.
- Chick ain't my type.
Copy !req
26. Easy, easy. That's my wife
you're talking about.
Copy !req
27. She here for our conjugal visit.
Copy !req
28. Come over here
and let daddy show you
what he got in his pants.
Copy !req
29. Shit, she got the same thing
up under her skirt
Copy !req
30. - that you got in your pants.
- Come on. Hold it, hold it.
Copy !req
31. Come on, we got a lady here.
Copy !req
32. Okay, Agee. You got any
concealed weapons that
they didn't find up front?
Copy !req
33. He got something concealed.
Copy !req
34. - But it ain't no weapon.
- Ha, ha, ha.
Copy !req
35. What do you say you strip
to make sure?
Copy !req
36. Whoo!
Copy !req
37. A star is born.
Copy !req
38. Hey, Kirkland. Watch your hands.
Copy !req
39. Hey, what's that?
Copy !req
40. Come on, Kirkland. Let's go.
Copy !req
41. Hey, dude. Wow, look at that.
Copy !req
42. - I say, hey, man.
- Make a phone call for me, man.
Copy !req
43. Hey, man, don't run off now,
big shot.
Copy !req
44. All right. All right.
Copy !req
45. Where the hell is he?
Copy !req
46. What do you mean, he's in jail?
Copy !req
47. My lawyer's in jail?
Copy !req
48. Contempt of court?
Copy !req
49. He's too goddamn emotional.
Copy !req
50. Get him. I've had a car accident.
Copy !req
51. I haven't left the scene
of the accident, I'm in it!
Copy !req
52. Unit 4-Adam. Be advised,
no record, no warrant.
Copy !req
53. Can't you hear the confusion around
me? You hear this noise?
Copy !req
54. Firemen trying to get me out
of the car. I'm trapped
because some son...
Copy !req
55. - Could you move back?
- We're gonna try and get you out.
Copy !req
56. - I'm on the phone.
- Just a minute.
Copy !req
57. Keep it down, for christssake.
I'm trying... Goddamn it.
Copy !req
58. Listen, I want you to tell
Arthur to get over here.
Copy !req
59. I'm on the... Where are we?
Eager Street.
Copy !req
60. The Eager Street ex...
Copy !req
61. Just tell him to get over here.
You can't miss it.
Copy !req
62. I understand you took a swing
at Judge Fleming. Is that true?
Copy !req
63. Hey, Kiley. Why don't you
do something about
that kid in there?
Copy !req
64. Put him someplace else?
Copy !req
65. Oh, they're just having
some fun with him, that's all.
Copy !req
66. Fun?
Copy !req
67. Well, sometimes
the boys get bored.
Copy !req
68. With you,
it's still new and exciting.
Copy !req
69. Sign here.
Copy !req
70. Why don't you ease up
on the judge?
Copy !req
71. He's your kind of guy, huh?
Copy !req
72. Yeah, Fleming's a tough man.
Copy !req
73. Hates scum
almost as much as we do.
Copy !req
74. Good morning,
Mr. Kirkland.
Copy !req
75. Carl.
Yeah, Arthur.
Copy !req
76. Come on. Are you all right?
Copy !req
77. I want you to sue the son
of a bitch who did this to me.
Copy !req
78. Every cent he's got.
Every nickel.
Copy !req
79. Thank God I can walk.
Carl, are you all right?
Copy !req
80. Disappear.
Copy !req
81. Why don't you wait...
She wasn't hurt, nothing in the report.
Copy !req
82. Why don't you wait in the car.
No need for the wife to know.
Copy !req
83. All right.
After all, I was your first.
Copy !req
84. You know, Arthur?
I was your first client.
Copy !req
85. You broke cherry on me.
Copy !req
86. Not the time to go
down memory lane, Carl.
Copy !req
87. Let's just get you to the hospital,
get you checked out.
Copy !req
88. Lie back.
You are the best.
Copy !req
89. Get every nickel,
then have him put away.
Copy !req
90. I'll see he gets
the death penalty, Carl.
Copy !req
91. Lie back, sir.
Death is okay too.
Copy !req
92. Jesus, you stink.
Somebody piss on you?
Copy !req
93. Get him out of here.
Copy !req
94. Make sure nobody uses
my car phone.
Copy !req
95. I'm in a hospital,
some jerk calls Rome.
Copy !req
96. You son of a bitch! You lunatic!
Copy !req
97. Carl. Carl, you're
gonna have a stroke.
Copy !req
98. You'll have to deal
with my lawyer!
Copy !req
99. The death penalty!
You'll die for this. He's the best.
Copy !req
100. It's not even my car.
Copy !req
101. Carl. Carl. Carl.
Copy !req
102. I got a terrible headache.
You'll be all right.
Copy !req
103. I'll call you at the hospital.
Copy !req
104. What about this guy here?
Copy !req
105. He says he's all right.
Copy !req
106. I mean, it's a friend's car.
Copy !req
107. I just borrowed it for the night,
and now how am I gonna tell him?
Copy !req
108. I think you should
go to the hospital.
Copy !req
109. Well, I'm okay, but the car...
I know. I know.
Copy !req
110. Let me take you over
to the hospital.
Copy !req
111. My horoscope said
it was gonna be a great day.
Copy !req
112. And look what happened.
You'll be fine.
Copy !req
113. No, it's not gonna
be that way this time.
Copy !req
114. Look at me
when I'm talking to you.
Copy !req
115. DA's willing to go two years,
one year probation.
Copy !req
116. That's a lot of fucking time, man.
Copy !req
117. Okay? Hi, Artie.
Copy !req
118. I ain't kissing nobody's ass.
I'm not asking you to kiss it.
Copy !req
119. Just give it a little pat.
Copy !req
120. Arthur.
Copy !req
121. Arthur.
Copy !req
122. Excuse me.
Yes?
Copy !req
123. Hold it, Wenke.
Where are you going?
Copy !req
124. Bathroom.
Go home.
Copy !req
125. No.
Go home and change.
Copy !req
126. No.
You look like shit.
Copy !req
127. What would you say
if I walked into court like that?
Copy !req
128. Arthur? What would...?
Arthur, what would you say?
Copy !req
129. I don't want
to keep harping on this,
Copy !req
130. but the ethics committee's
checking up on everyone.
Copy !req
131. Please, you gotta watch it.
Copy !req
132. Okay, I'll watch it.
Copy !req
133. Last week, two lawyers were
disbarred on minor charges.
Copy !req
134. You run around, get thrown into
jail on contempt of court.
Copy !req
135. Fleming got me crazy.
You push Fleming
Copy !req
136. on that McCullaugh thing,
Copy !req
137. there's gonna be big trouble,
I'm telling you.
Copy !req
138. McCullaugh's innocent,
and I can't get
that goddamn Fleming
Copy !req
139. to even look
at the evidence, Jay.
Copy !req
140. What do you want me to do?
You don't threaten the judge.
Copy !req
141. You don't threaten the judge!
Copy !req
142. You do me a personal favor?
Copy !req
143. Put this on.
Copy !req
144. Chanel something.
Copy !req
145. I got Fleming
first thing this morning.
Copy !req
146. Give him my love.
Copy !req
147. That tie, I like it.
Copy !req
148. It's Fleming's favorite color.
Copy !req
149. All rise.
Copy !req
150. Criminal court of Baltimore City
is now in session.
Copy !req
151. The Honorable Henry T. Fleming
presiding.
Copy !req
152. Be seated.
Copy !req
153. If Your Honor please,
for the first matter,
Copy !req
154. the state would call
case number 577-46898,
Copy !req
155. State v. Robert Wenke.
Copy !req
156. Mr. Wenke, may I ask you
to step forward, please?
Copy !req
157. And how many times have you been
before the bench, Mr. Wenke?
Copy !req
158. Three times, Your Honor.
Copy !req
159. Once for assault, once for arson,
once for grand larceny.
Copy !req
160. And now we have
indecent exposure.
Copy !req
161. What's the matter, Mr. Wenke?
Copy !req
162. Can't you decide what you
wanna be when you grow up?
Copy !req
163. Got anything to say?
Copy !req
164. Yes, Your Honor.
Copy !req
165. I'm a loyal Colts fan.
Copy !req
166. You are also a revolting,
despicable, scum of the earth
Copy !req
167. who should be taken out
and squashed like a cockroach.
Copy !req
168. Judge, I object. My client
has not been found guilty yet.
Copy !req
169. You're absolutely right, counselor.
Copy !req
170. Let's see, it's now 9:40.
Copy !req
171. At 9:41 he will be guilty.
Copy !req
172. I find the defendant,
Ronald Wenke, guilty.
Copy !req
173. Sentence to be imposed
at a later time.
Copy !req
174. Your Honor, I would request
that Mr. Wenke's bail be continued.
Copy !req
175. Bail is revoked.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Copy !req
176. If Your Honor please, the state will now
call indictment number 577-46899...
Copy !req
177. That was good. Very good
work. I wanna thank you
for your counsel.
Copy !req
178. Very nice. Colts fan.
I need Colts?
Copy !req
179. That's terrific, Wenke.
Copy !req
180. You do know.
Copy !req
181. The big white house.
Copy !req
182. You know, with the fat
columns out in front?
Copy !req
183. On Greenway Avenue.
Copy !req
184. Guess how much
that house is worth
on the market today?
Copy !req
185. I don't know.
Take a guess.
Copy !req
186. Seven million.
Copy !req
187. Two-hundred and forty-three
thousand dollars.
Copy !req
188. Now, that's some nut
I've got, huh?
Copy !req
189. That's okay. I get enough
accident cases this year,
I'll be all right.
Copy !req
190. Maybe I ought to start
throwing out banana peels.
Copy !req
191. Listen, recess is almost over and all I've
got left is this illegal lottery case...
Copy !req
192. Did you know that there's a guy
Copy !req
193. eating something off your table?
Huh?
Copy !req
194. The guy you're prosecuting?
Yeah?
Copy !req
195. He's eating the lottery tickets.
Copy !req
196. Holy shit.
Copy !req
197. Gibson, get the hell away...
Get out of there.
Copy !req
198. Leave me alone.
Don't swallow.
Copy !req
199. - You son of a bitch.
- My client.
Copy !req
200. - Give me that. Don't swallow.
- My client.
Copy !req
201. Spit it out.
Copy !req
202. Gentlemen,
Copy !req
203. need I remind you,
you are in a court of law?
Copy !req
204. Now, let's proceed
in an orderly fashion.
Copy !req
205. What the hell are you doing?
Copy !req
206. Does the defense have
anything further to add?
Copy !req
207. Your Honor, it's, uh...
Copy !req
208. I guess I should, uh,
request a recess
Copy !req
209. so that my client
could get something to eat.
Copy !req
210. He's obviously very hungry.
Copy !req
211. My client, McCullaugh,
could I see him for a minute?
Copy !req
212. Sure, Mr. Kirkland.
Copy !req
213. Put your hand out.
Copy !req
214. Hey, Mr. Kirkland. What happened?
Copy !req
215. I just want to reaffirm
what I said to you yesterday.
Copy !req
216. We're gonna get you out.
I know you're trying, Mr. Kirkland.
Copy !req
217. But this is crazy, you know?
I know it. I know it.
Copy !req
218. You told me
you have the evidence
that proves I'm innocent.
Copy !req
219. It does prove it, doesn't it?
Yes, you're innocent.
Copy !req
220. Judge Fleming agrees with you?
Right.
Copy !req
221. If everyone agrees that I'm innocent,
how come I'm going back to jail?
Copy !req
222. Roll them.
There's enough proof, Jeff.
Copy !req
223. It's just the court
won't accept the proof.
Copy !req
224. Why not?
Well, there's a law...
Copy !req
225. There's a law which says
that evidence must be submitted
Copy !req
226. within a certain time period.
Copy !req
227. And our evidence came in
three days late.
Copy !req
228. What difference does that make?
Copy !req
229. What difference does it make
if it came years late?
Copy !req
230. They got the proof.
They should let me go.
Copy !req
231. I don't understand this.
Copy !req
232. That judge who sent me
to jail, he knows I'm innocent.
What's going on?
Copy !req
233. Jeff, it's just gonna take
a little more time.
Copy !req
234. Any other judge would have let
you out, but this guy,
Copy !req
235. he goes by the letter of the law.
I don't understand.
Copy !req
236. Jeff, I promise...
I promise I'll get you out. I promise.
Copy !req
237. He promises he'll get
you out, buddy, don't worry.
Copy !req
238. Judge Fleming?
Copy !req
239. I want to apologize
to you, sir, for my...
Copy !req
240. My behavior in the courtroom...
Copy !req
241. I don't want to hear
your apologies.
Copy !req
242. I don't want to hear
anything you have to say.
Copy !req
243. That's understandable, sir.
It's just...
Copy !req
244. It's just I thought that maybe we could
discuss this McCullaugh case.
Copy !req
245. You know, you and I,
man to man?
Off the record, sir.
Copy !req
246. If you're gonna try to
make a deal with me,
Copy !req
247. you might wind up
right back in jail.
Copy !req
248. A deal? A deal? No, sir.
Copy !req
249. No, sir, I'm not
trying to make a deal.
Copy !req
250. I can understand
your strict enforcement
of the statute.
Copy !req
251. What I can't understand
is my client's constitutional
rights being denied.
Copy !req
252. Don't quote the law.
My client is innocent.
Copy !req
253. I don't give a shit
about your client.
Copy !req
254. Hi.
Hi, Sherry.
Copy !req
255. - Hi, Mr. Kirkland. Nice to see you.
- How are you today?
Copy !req
256. He'll be right with you.
Copy !req
257. Boy, do you look tired.
Coffee, please.
Copy !req
258. Mrs. Tate wants to talk
to you.
Copy !req
259. Her son broke his leg again,
neighbor's driveway.
Copy !req
260. And Bricker wants to know
if your client will settle for $60,000.
Copy !req
261. Coffee.
You can reach him at the club.
Copy !req
262. You have three new clients
coming in today.
Copy !req
263. One's a whiplash,
one's a divorce,
Copy !req
264. and the other one has something
to do with amnesia.
Copy !req
265. I don't know what it is.
Arthur, what are you doing?
Copy !req
266. It won't foam.
Copy !req
267. That's because it's deodorant.
Copy !req
268. And today is Tuesday,
so don't forget
to visit your grandfather.
Copy !req
269. And you have to be
back in court at 2:15.
Copy !req
270. Coffee, please.
Copy !req
271. You want some coffee?
Copy !req
272. Sherry, stay with me today, dear.
Copy !req
273. I need you today.
Copy !req
274. Arthur.
Copy !req
275. Arthur.
Copy !req
276. Come here. Heh, heh, heh.
Copy !req
277. Hi, judge.
Copy !req
278. Are we gonna get together
this weekend, huh?
Copy !req
279. I don't know. You know,
you're the only one I've
been dating these days.
Copy !req
280. Come on, now.
Copy !req
281. You promised you'd go
flying with me.
Copy !req
282. Ugh, I gotta tell you, judge,
you know, I'm not...
Copy !req
283. I'm not too fond of anything
that takes place off the ground.
Copy !req
284. Heights. I don't know.
I got a thing about heights.
Copy !req
285. Come on, this is flying.
It's different.
Copy !req
286. How high up do you go?
Copy !req
287. How high up do you wanna go?
Copy !req
288. Come on, it'll be good for you.
Copy !req
289. Sure. Besides, it gets...
It gets lonesome up there.
Copy !req
290. Why don't you take
your wife, judge.
Copy !req
291. Heh, heh, heh.
Last thing we did together
was get married.
Copy !req
292. Come on, Arthur.
Now, you promised me, remember?
Copy !req
293. All right. What time?
Copy !req
294. Sunday morning, 10:00.
Copy !req
295. Do you always carry that with you?
Copy !req
296. There's law and there's order.
Copy !req
297. And that's order.
Copy !req
298. Hey, you like egg roll?
Copy !req
299. Uh, yeah.
Good. Come on, let's get out of here.
Copy !req
300. Easy, easy, easy.
All right, you got it.
Ha, ha, ha.
Copy !req
301. Son of a gun.
Copy !req
302. So it's another week already.
Copy !req
303. Another week.
I don't know where time goes.
Copy !req
304. No problems, Grandpa.
Everything all right?
Copy !req
305. See this one?
Copy !req
306. Wonderful woman.
Copy !req
307. I went to her husband's funeral.
Fine man.
Copy !req
308. Gitel?
Copy !req
309. Oh, hello, Sam.
Copy !req
310. How are you?
Copy !req
311. This is my grandson, Arthur.
Copy !req
312. Pleased to meet you.
Good to meet you.
Copy !req
313. He goes to law school.
I'm a lawyer.
Copy !req
314. Take my advice.
Don't be in a hurry.
Copy !req
315. He's a nice-looking boy.
Copy !req
316. My grandson.
Copy !req
317. Yes. Heh.
Copy !req
318. Good to meet you.
Pleased to have met you too.
Copy !req
319. See you.
Copy !req
320. So it's been a week.
Copy !req
321. Yeah, Grandpa, remember?
It's been a week.
Copy !req
322. Last week, we went for a ride
in the car. Remember?
Copy !req
323. Oh. That's a good
machine.
Copy !req
324. Always give signals
when you turn.
Copy !req
325. Right.
Right.
Copy !req
326. Left.
Copy !req
327. Let's reach for the sky.
Copy !req
328. So...
Copy !req
329. Are you a good lawyer?
Heh, heh, heh.
Copy !req
330. Are you honest?
Copy !req
331. Well, I don't know.
Copy !req
332. Being honest doesn't have much
to do with being a lawyer, Grandpa.
Copy !req
333. If you're not honest,
you got nothing.
Copy !req
334. Yeah.
Copy !req
335. Your parents should see you now.
Copy !req
336. The hell with them.
Copy !req
337. They've never cared before,
why are they gonna care now?
Copy !req
338. They're still your parents.
No.
Copy !req
339. You raised me.
Copy !req
340. You're the one that put
me through law school.
Copy !req
341. You're a wonderful man, Grandpa.
Copy !req
342. But your son, he's a shit.
Copy !req
343. He was born with colic.
Copy !req
344. Sam, I love you.
Copy !req
345. Look at you.
Copy !req
346. Filled out like a man.
Copy !req
347. Soon, you'll look like a lawyer,
and you'll be a lawyer.
Copy !req
348. I am a lawyer, Sam.
Copy !req
349. I've been a lawyer for 12 years.
Copy !req
350. So it's another week already?
Copy !req
351. - Do you know Jules Stouffer?
- Yes, I do.
Copy !req
352. - Client of yours, right?
- Yes.
Copy !req
353. Wasn't he originally
represented by Alvin Burton?
Copy !req
354. Yes, that is correct.
Copy !req
355. Why did he change representation?
Copy !req
356. Because I handled him on
an aggravated assault charge.
Copy !req
357. That's my area,
not Burton's area, so...
Copy !req
358. Did Jules Stouffer express
dissatisfaction with Mr. Burton?
Copy !req
359. No. Not at all.
Copy !req
360. Burton's an excellent lawyer.
Copy !req
361. You're not going after him, are you?
Copy !req
362. We're not going after anyone,
Mr. Kirkland. We are simply...
Copy !req
363. Do you
know David...?
Copy !req
364. We are trying to review
certain accusations
Copy !req
365. to determine whether or not
they are true.
Copy !req
366. And to, more or less,
clean our own house.
Copy !req
367. So please do not over-dramatize
these proceedings.
Copy !req
368. This is not the McCarthy hearings.
Oh. That's a relief.
Copy !req
369. So you're not gonna ask me:
Copy !req
370. "Are you now,
or have you ever been, a lawyer?"
Copy !req
371. That wasn't amusing, Mr. Kirkland.
Copy !req
372. Do you know David Crebbs?
Copy !req
373. No, it wasn't, Miss, um...
Copy !req
374. Packer.
Packer.
Copy !req
375. This isn't amusing.
It is, however, ridiculous.
Copy !req
376. Yes. David Crebbs? I know him.
Copy !req
377. Have you ever seen...?
Is this mike working?
Copy !req
378. Do you know David Crebbs?
Copy !req
379. Why are we using microphones?
Copy !req
380. Why don't we just talk to each other?
We're close enough.
Copy !req
381. This is a hearing, Mr. Kirkland.
Copy !req
382. Ah. Yes. It's a hearing.
Copy !req
383. Do you know Jules Stouffer?
Copy !req
384. We've already asked that
question, Mr. Crenna.
Copy !req
385. Oh, we're through with Stouffer?
How about Alvin Burton?
Copy !req
386. Do you know David Crebbs?
I already asked that.
Copy !req
387. What'd he say?
Copy !req
388. He said, "Yes."
Copy !req
389. Have you ever seen him
intoxicated in court?
Copy !req
390. David Crebbs
has a speech impediment.
Copy !req
391. Now, if you check your records,
you'll see it's there someplace.
Copy !req
392. No. That's the answer
to your question.
Copy !req
393. No, he doesn't drink.
Doesn't drink at all.
Copy !req
394. At this point,
I would just like to say
Copy !req
395. that what this committee
is doing, in theory,
Copy !req
396. is highly commendable.
Copy !req
397. However, in practice, it sucks.
Copy !req
398. And I am not going to
answer any more questions.
Copy !req
399. What do you think
we're trying to do in there?
Copy !req
400. Want a drink?
No.
Copy !req
401. Whatever you may think,
Copy !req
402. we are not conducting
some kind of witch hunt.
Copy !req
403. What are you doing then?
Copy !req
404. You might not be aware of this,
Copy !req
405. but there's a lot of
corruption going around
Copy !req
406. that nobody's
doing anything about.
Copy !req
407. You think your committee's
doing something?
Copy !req
408. Yes, I do.
Copy !req
409. That committee
is a very dangerous farce.
Copy !req
410. Whoa. Mr. Kirkland.
Copy !req
411. I spend 14 hours a day
working on that committee.
Copy !req
412. I don't do it for laughs.
I don't care how many hours.
Copy !req
413. Understand?
Spend your life.
Copy !req
414. You know what
you're accomplishing?
Copy !req
415. If we don't police our own activities,
Ruining the careers of guys
Copy !req
416. who wipe their ass wrong.
nothing's gonna happen.
Copy !req
417. So, what do you think?
Copy !req
418. About what?
Copy !req
419. About me.
What do you think?
Copy !req
420. Think I'm kind of interesting?
Copy !req
421. Somebody you'd like
to have a drink with?
Copy !req
422. I think that you're crazy.
Copy !req
423. Oh. What about Daniels?
Copy !req
424. Say around 7:30?
Copy !req
425. I don't think so.
Copy !req
426. Eight?
Copy !req
427. Eight-thirty.
Copy !req
428. All right.
Copy !req
429. Uh, I'm Arthur Kirkland.
You wanted to see me?
Copy !req
430. Yeah.
Copy !req
431. Yeah, my man, Bambi,
Copy !req
432. ooh, he recommended you
real highly.
Copy !req
433. He said, "Arthur Kirkland,
he the man to see."
Copy !req
434. Okay, Ralph. Why don't you
tell me what happened.
Copy !req
435. It says here in the report
that you were involved in a robbery.
Copy !req
436. Uh-uh. No, sir.
Uh-uh. No.
Copy !req
437. See... See, what happened is,
Copy !req
438. it was time
to come down on the nigga.
Copy !req
439. Mr. Kirkland, you know,
it's like smoking.
Copy !req
440. They got to have
a nigga every 20 minutes.
Copy !req
441. See, what happened is,
Copy !req
442. I was in this alley petting my dog
when they came down on me.
Copy !req
443. It states here that you were...
The dog was attacking you
Copy !req
444. when you were first seen
in the alley.
Copy !req
445. Yeah? Yeah, well...
Copy !req
446. Well, see, my dog,
he gets like that sometimes.
Copy !req
447. It also states that the dog
Copy !req
448. belonged to a Mrs. B. Jackson.
Copy !req
449. Well, he sure looked like my dog.
Copy !req
450. You know, he had that...
Come on, Ralph.
Copy !req
451. It also states here
Copy !req
452. that when asked what you were
doing in the alley,
Copy !req
453. you replied, "I don't know nothing
about that taxi-cab robbery."
Copy !req
454. Now, that's true, because I don't.
Copy !req
455. How'd you know
there was one, Ralph?
Copy !req
456. Mr. Kirkland, there's always one.
Copy !req
457. Ralph, tell me the truth
or get another lawyer.
Copy !req
458. I don't need the bullshit. Let's go.
Copy !req
459. Okay.
Copy !req
460. I was in that cab. But I didn't rob it.
Copy !req
461. It was my cousin's idea.
Copy !req
462. I didn't know nothing. It was my
cousin's idea. See, he... He crazy.
Copy !req
463. What's your cousin's name?
I don't know.
Copy !req
464. I mean...
Copy !req
465. He live over on Hillsdale.
Copy !req
466. You don't know
your cousin's name?
Copy !req
467. Ralph, who do you think
you're talking to?
Copy !req
468. You think I'm an idiot?
Okay, I read a report,
Copy !req
469. I can tell if somebody's
bullshitting me or not.
Copy !req
470. Either you give me
straight answers
Copy !req
471. or you get another lawyer.
Copy !req
472. I don't have time to listen
to some jive-ass put me on.
Copy !req
473. Okay.
Copy !req
474. It wasn't my idea, but I did
know what was coming down.
Copy !req
475. See, me and
my cousin Royce...
Copy !req
476. Royce Shavers.
Copy !req
477. See, he figures that
since I am the way I am...
Copy !req
478. Mr. Kirkland,
Copy !req
479. I can look real fine
sometimes, you know?
Copy !req
480. Yeah, I'm sure you can, Ralph.
Copy !req
481. Well, Royce figures
that we can be a couple.
Copy !req
482. You know, like a man
and a woman couple.
Copy !req
483. Because a cab driver will pick
up a couple a whole lot faster
Copy !req
484. than they will two nigga men.
Copy !req
485. So, uh...
Copy !req
486. we got into this cab over
on Garrison Boulevard,
Copy !req
487. and we asked him to take us down
to the harbor.
Copy !req
488. You know, like...
Like we was tourists.
Copy !req
489. And, um...
Copy !req
490. Hey, man, I...
I can't go to jail, man.
Copy !req
491. I just can't do it.
I can't go to that place.
Copy !req
492. Please, Mr. Kirkland,
you've got to help me.
Copy !req
493. Please.
Copy !req
494. Please.
Copy !req
495. Okay.
Please.
Copy !req
496. Okay, I'll help you, Ralph.
Just don't lie to me, that's all.
Copy !req
497. Okay? Okay.
Yes, sir.
Copy !req
498. Thank you.
Don't lie to me. Okay?
Copy !req
499. Yes, sir.
Okay.
Copy !req
500. Thank you.
Copy !req
501. Thanks for bringing me home, Gail.
Copy !req
502. Oh, God.
Copy !req
503. Well...
Copy !req
504. You really take renting
an unfurnished apartment
literally, don't you?
Copy !req
505. Arthur, you know it doesn't
have to stay this way.
Copy !req
506. What happened?
Copy !req
507. Did your wife take you
in the divorce settlement?
Copy !req
508. She had a better lawyer.
Oh.
Copy !req
509. What about your kids?
Get to see them much?
Copy !req
510. Well, they're in California,
you know.
Copy !req
511. Phone calls, holidays.
Copy !req
512. Put the food out,
I'll get the plates.
Copy !req
513. I guess I was lucky.
We never had any kids.
Copy !req
514. How long were you married?
Three years.
Copy !req
515. Were you in love?
No.
Copy !req
516. I was in love with the law.
Copy !req
517. You know what I mean?
Copy !req
518. Got a serving spoon?
Copy !req
519. Serving spoon.
Copy !req
520. Thank you.
Copy !req
521. So, uh, you eat out a lot?
Copy !req
522. Yeah, you?
Copy !req
523. Yeah.
Copy !req
524. The committee works
just about every night.
Copy !req
525. How did you feel when you walked
out on the committee this morning?
Copy !req
526. Did you feel all those daggers
in your back?
Copy !req
527. That's a very
dangerous group, you know?
Copy !req
528. Jesus.
Copy !req
529. Here we go, here we go.
Copy !req
530. Arthur, why?
Copy !req
531. Why do you feel it's dangerous?
Copy !req
532. Because you're conning
the public into thinking
you're doing something.
Copy !req
533. And you're not.
Yeah. But we are doing something.
Copy !req
534. No.
We are protecting the public
Copy !req
535. from a lot of corrupt lawyers,
is what we're doing.
Copy !req
536. You're skimming the surface.
You're not going after
real power.
Copy !req
537. Wow. That's scary.
What real power, Arthur?
Copy !req
538. You don't know?
No, why don't you tell me?
Copy !req
539. Well, now we know
they're definitely safe.
Copy !req
540. What makes you think
you know so goddamn much?
Copy !req
541. I don't know so much.
No, no. Tell me.
Copy !req
542. What makes you the great
voice of authority?
Copy !req
543. I don't pretend to be
a voice of authority.
Copy !req
544. It's just, I don't think
you know what you're doing,
that's all.
Copy !req
545. Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah.
Copy !req
546. This is nice, don't you think?
Copy !req
547. No, I don't find this
particularly nice.
Copy !req
548. Arthur, I'm, um...
Copy !req
549. I'm angry again.
Copy !req
550. You know? I don't like being angry.
Copy !req
551. It's not pleasant.
I don't understand
Copy !req
552. how you can criticize me
for what I do.
Copy !req
553. I'm not criticizing you, Gail.
I mean, you're taking it
too personally.
Copy !req
554. Arthur, the committee is doing
something about what's going on.
Copy !req
555. We are not sitting in jail at nights
because of contempt of court.
Copy !req
556. Do you know what that's about?
Yeah.
Copy !req
557. Yeah?
You threw a punch at Judge Fleming.
Copy !req
558. Uh-huh. You know why?
I have no idea. Tell me.
Copy !req
559. I got a client who's in jail
because of a faulty taillight
Copy !req
560. and I can't get him out.
Copy !req
561. What do you mean
you can't get him out?
Copy !req
562. You wanna hear a story
about our wonderful judicial system?
Copy !req
563. Hm?
Sure.
Copy !req
564. There's a guy named
Jeff McCullaugh,
Copy !req
565. and he's going down
the highway one night
Copy !req
566. and the cops stop him
because his taillight isn't working.
Copy !req
567. They pull him over to the side,
run a make on him.
Copy !req
568. Computer kicks back
that there's a Jeff McCullaugh
Copy !req
569. wanted in Alabama
for assault with a deadly weapon.
Copy !req
570. Was this the same Jeff McCullaugh?
No.
Copy !req
571. But he fits
the general description
so they arrest him.
Copy !req
572. Why didn't McCullaugh tell them
they had the wrong person?
Copy !req
573. He told the public defender,
who I don't think really believed him.
Copy !req
574. And he was too busy.
Copy !req
575. He never even bothered to check.
Are you serious?
Copy !req
576. Ah, wait. It gets better.
Copy !req
577. While Jeff is sitting in jail,
a guard is stabbed.
Copy !req
578. And the knife is planted
in Jeff's cell.
Copy !req
579. And Jeff is brought to trial
on a new charge,
Copy !req
580. this time, assaulting a guard
with a deadly weapon.
Copy !req
581. And a trial date is set
Copy !req
582. six months from the time
he was first picked up.
Copy !req
583. I'll make a long story short for you.
Six months go by
Copy !req
584. and a very shaky, very crazy
Jeff McCullaugh goes to court.
Copy !req
585. Now, the public defender
who's defending him, he says...
Copy !req
586. He tells Jeff that he can get him off
Mm-hm.
Copy !req
587. If he pleads guilty.
Copy !req
588. He'll make a deal with the judge,
and he'll get him off.
Copy !req
589. Time served.
Right.
Copy !req
590. So he pleads guilty
even though he's innocent.
Copy !req
591. That's right. However,
the deal was made
with a Judge Callahan.
Copy !req
592. The day of the trial,
Judge Callahan cannot be found.
Copy !req
593. Fleming is in his place.
Copy !req
594. Fleming doesn't know
anything about the deal.
Copy !req
595. Jeff pleads guilty.
Copy !req
596. Fleming sentences Jeff
to five years in prison.
Copy !req
597. Goddamn.
So one little guy
Copy !req
598. has already spent
a year and a half in jail
Copy !req
599. because his lights didn't work.
Copy !req
600. I've spent the last year
Copy !req
601. putting together enough evidence
to prove he's innocent.
Copy !req
602. And I prove it.
Copy !req
603. I get it all together,
and I bring it into Fleming's court
Copy !req
604. and he throws it out.
Copy !req
605. Why?
Because it came in three days late.
Copy !req
606. Holy shit.
Copy !req
607. That's incredible.
Copy !req
608. It's not incredible, it's Fleming.
Copy !req
609. No, Arthur. That's the law.
Copy !req
610. You can't fault Fleming legally
Copy !req
611. because he was going
by the letter of the law.
Copy !req
612. Are you kidding?
No, I'm not.
Copy !req
613. You talk to me like that,
you're not gonna get me
into bed, dear.
Copy !req
614. Yes, I will.
Copy !req
615. I've had tougher cases.
Copy !req
616. You're so easy. Heh, heh.
Copy !req
617. You knew that, huh?
Ha, ha, ha.
Copy !req
618. That's why you went out with me.
Copy !req
619. Finish your egg roll.
Ha, ha, ha.
Copy !req
620. Arthur. Arthur.
Copy !req
621. You'll never guess
who the police just grabbed.
Copy !req
622. Who?
Take a guess.
Copy !req
623. Warren, please.
Copy !req
624. This may sound crazy,
Copy !req
625. but Judge Fleming
was just taken away.
Copy !req
626. What do you mean, taken away?
Copy !req
627. Arrested.
Copy !req
628. Come on.
Copy !req
629. I'm telling you,
they just arrested the judge.
Copy !req
630. Your very own favorite judge.
Judge Fleming?
Copy !req
631. Judge Fleming.
Copy !req
632. What's the joke, Warren?
Copy !req
633. There's a joke connected to this.
There is no joke.
Copy !req
634. I don't know what it's about.
They're sitting on this very hard.
Copy !req
635. I can't get anything from anybody.
I'll see you later.
Copy !req
636. Warren, uh... Uh...
Copy !req
637. Let me know the...
Copy !req
638. Judge, we're ready to reconvene.
Be right there.
Copy !req
639. Okay.
Copy !req
640. Congratulations, counsel.
Copy !req
641. Well, thank you very much.
Copy !req
642. What did I do?
Copy !req
643. Come here.
Come here, come here.
Copy !req
644. Go.
Judge Fleming.
Copy !req
645. Yeah?
I was right.
Copy !req
646. He was arrested
this morning and booked.
Copy !req
647. We know that...
Copy !req
648. But, Arthur,
you'll never guess
what for.
Copy !req
649. Take a guess.
What for?
Copy !req
650. Rape.
Fleming was booked on a rape.
Copy !req
651. I can't stand it.
Isn't that the best?
Copy !req
652. Rape.
I don't believe it.
Copy !req
653. That's not the best.
That's not the best.
Copy !req
654. No. I'm gonna tell you...
Give him the punchline.
Copy !req
655. Tell you the punchline.
You're gonna love this.
Copy !req
656. His people just called the office,
Copy !req
657. and Mr. Fleming
would like you to represent him.
Copy !req
658. Me?
Copy !req
659. Me?
Copy !req
660. Why me?
Copy !req
661. I hate the son of a bitch.
Copy !req
662. I'm going crazy.
Copy !req
663. Mr. Kirkland,
as you undoubtedly know,
Copy !req
664. Judge Fleming has been accused,
falsely, I might add,
Copy !req
665. of sexually assaulting
a young lady.
Copy !req
666. He wants you to represent him
in this case.
Copy !req
667. Excuse me. I can't...
Copy !req
668. What, may I ask, is so funny?
I just think it's...
Copy !req
669. It's just crazy.
Copy !req
670. I don't think it sounds so crazy.
Not really.
Copy !req
671. Well, there are two lawyers
up in the third floor men's room
Copy !req
672. who think differently.
Copy !req
673. As a matter of fact,
one of them, right now,
Copy !req
674. is laughing so hard,
he's choking in the sink.
Copy !req
675. I'm aware
that I'm not particularly, uh, well-liked.
Copy !req
676. But the fact remains,
I am innocent.
Copy !req
677. And I fully intend to have that proven
in a court of law.
Copy !req
678. Now, Mr. Bates and I feel,
in this particular situation,
Copy !req
679. you would be the perfect lawyer
to handle my defense.
Copy !req
680. What is this?
The two of you got together,
Copy !req
681. put your little heads together,
came up with that one.
Copy !req
682. That's a beauty.
Copy !req
683. Real question is, why?
Copy !req
684. Why me, fellas? Come on.
Copy !req
685. We need you for political reasons.
Copy !req
686. Political reasons?
Yes.
Copy !req
687. What kind of political reasons?
Copy !req
688. This case will create a tremendous
amount of media coverage.
Copy !req
689. The animosity between you
and the judge is well-known.
Copy !req
690. But we can use that
to our advantage.
Copy !req
691. Why else would you defend
a man you dislike so much,
Copy !req
692. unless he was truly innocent?
Copy !req
693. And he is, you know.
Remarkable.
Copy !req
694. Remarkable.
Copy !req
695. But, you see, personally,
Copy !req
696. I don't give a shit.
Copy !req
697. Why, you smug son of a bitch.
Copy !req
698. Henry. Henry. Henry.
Copy !req
699. I've never committed
a crime in my life.
Copy !req
700. Judge, if you're innocent,
Copy !req
701. truly innocent, you don't need me.
Copy !req
702. Get yourself another lawyer.
Copy !req
703. What are you laughing at?
Copy !req
704. Well...
Copy !req
705. I really hate to tell you this,
Copy !req
706. but you remind me a little
of my ex-husband.
Copy !req
707. In what way?
Copy !req
708. Because during sex,
Copy !req
709. he would always say:
Copy !req
710. "Go.
Copy !req
711. Go."
Copy !req
712. "Go"?
Yeah.
Copy !req
713. I don't say, "Go."
Copy !req
714. I heard you say, "Go."
Copy !req
715. No, I don't say, "Go."
Copy !req
716. "Go" is dumb.
Copy !req
717. I say, "God."
Copy !req
718. Are you sure you didn't say, "Go"?
I'm sure.
Copy !req
719. Could've sworn I heard a couple
of "go's" coming from you.
Copy !req
720. Heh, heh, heh.
That was, "God."
Copy !req
721. I said, "Oh."
Sounded like, "Go."
Copy !req
722. It was, "Oh,"
and then I said, "God."
Copy !req
723. Oh, God.
Copy !req
724. Oh, God.
Copy !req
725. Yeah? Who is it?
Copy !req
726. Arthur. It's Jay.
Copy !req
727. - Jay?
- What the heck?
Copy !req
728. It's my partner.
Copy !req
729. - Jay? Jay?
- It's so late.
Copy !req
730. All right, all right.
Copy !req
731. Jay.
Copy !req
732. What do you say?
Copy !req
733. Hell of a night tonight.
Copy !req
734. It's 2:00 in the morning, Jay.
Copy !req
735. I know it's 2.
The bars just closed.
Copy !req
736. So, what are you doing here?
Copy !req
737. I came to ask you a question.
Copy !req
738. Oh, yeah? What?
Copy !req
739. I'm a good lawyer. Right?
Copy !req
740. Right.
Copy !req
741. I got Earl Soames off. Right?
Copy !req
742. What are you talking about, Jay?
I got Earl Soames.
Copy !req
743. I got Earl Soames.
Copy !req
744. Yeah, you got him off.
Copy !req
745. No. No, I just didn't get him off.
Copy !req
746. I got him off on murder.
Copy !req
747. And we all know
that Mr. Soames did it.
Copy !req
748. Right, he did it, Jay.
He was guilty.
We all know that.
Copy !req
749. Brilliant defense. Brilliant.
Copy !req
750. Brilliant defense, Arthur.
Copy !req
751. Brilliant. Right. Right.
Brilliant.
Copy !req
752. Brilliant.
Right.
Copy !req
753. Brilliant!
Copy !req
754. I got him off on a...
On a technicality.
Copy !req
755. I know, Jay. Right. Good.
Copy !req
756. Mr. Soames did it again.
Copy !req
757. What do you mean?
Copy !req
758. At 12:00 tonight, he went out
and he killed two kids.
Copy !req
759. Oh, Jesus.
Copy !req
760. I mean, he killed kids. You see?
Copy !req
761. Oh, Jay.
Copy !req
762. I gotta take a piss.
Copy !req
763. Jay...
Copy !req
764. My partner.
Copy !req
765. There's women in here.
Copy !req
766. Hello?
Copy !req
767. Arthur, what's going on?
Copy !req
768. Come on, it won't hurt you.
Just duck a little.
Copy !req
769. You got about three feet there.
Ha, ha, ha.
Copy !req
770. For chrissakes, come on, get in.
Copy !req
771. How do you feel?
You ready to go?
Copy !req
772. Whoa. I thought
you flew, uh, planes.
Copy !req
773. You know? With wings.
No, no.
Copy !req
774. Been flying helicopters
ever since Korea.
Copy !req
775. Come on. Get in.
Copy !req
776. Here you are. Button up.
Close the door.
Copy !req
777. I gotta tell you, judge,
Copy !req
778. I'm not too happy about this.
Copy !req
779. Relax, Arthur. Now just relax.
Copy !req
780. Do you think maybe we could just sort
of, you know, go out a bit? Not...
Copy !req
781. Kind of just go and hover?
Copy !req
782. We'll do any goddamn thing
you want.
Copy !req
783. Now hold on to your cojones, huh?
Ha, ha, ha.
Copy !req
784. Whoo!
Oh...
Copy !req
785. Ah, this is what it's all about.
Copy !req
786. Pretty, isn't it?
Copy !req
787. I don't wanna talk.
Copy !req
788. What?
Copy !req
789. I don't wanna talk.
Copy !req
790. Did you ever skydive?
Copy !req
791. Skydive. Did you ever skydive?
No. Why?
Copy !req
792. You ought to try it.
You might learn something.
Copy !req
793. You know, I was skydiving once
Copy !req
794. and my main chute,
it didn't open.
Copy !req
795. I pulled my reserve.
Didn't open either.
Copy !req
796. There I was,
plunging to the earth.
Copy !req
797. Just as I hit the treetops,
I discovered the meaning of life.
Copy !req
798. Which is?
Copy !req
799. It sucks, Arthur. It really sucks.
Copy !req
800. They used to keep
Native Dancer down there.
Copy !req
801. Native Dancer, the horse?
Yeah.
Copy !req
802. They used to keep him
down there.
Copy !req
803. Beautiful animal.
Oh...
Copy !req
804. Where are we going?
Copy !req
805. You wanna go someplace
in particular?
Copy !req
806. No. Down,
I would prefer to go down.
Copy !req
807. - Now, just relax, Arthur.
- Just relax and enjoy it.
Copy !req
808. The old Chinese proverb.
Ha, ha, ha.
Copy !req
809. Whoo.
Whoa!
Copy !req
810. Oh...
Great, isn't it?
Copy !req
811. Oh, my, my!
Copy !req
812. Here, let me
show you something.
Copy !req
813. Oh, my! Oh, my.
Copy !req
814. Look at that. Ha, ha, ha.
Copy !req
815. Wild, isn't it?
Copy !req
816. Oh, boy.
Copy !req
817. We've hit it.
Hit what?
Copy !req
818. What? What have we hit?
Copy !req
819. The halfway point.
Copy !req
820. It's a little game I play.
Each time I go out,
Copy !req
821. I calculate how much fuel I have
Copy !req
822. and how far I can go
and still get back on it.
Copy !req
823. Then I figure out the halfway point,
Copy !req
824. and I go just a little beyond it.
Heh, heh, heh.
Copy !req
825. You mean, we're beyond
the halfway point?
Copy !req
826. Yeah.
Copy !req
827. Well, what are...?
Copy !req
828. Well, you mean, we're not
gonna make it back?
Copy !req
829. Ha, ha, ha.
Well, maybe, maybe not.
Copy !req
830. Well, land.
Copy !req
831. Land! Put it down!
Copy !req
832. Arthur, come on now.
We're all right.
Copy !req
833. If we're beyond the halfway point,
judge, we're not all right.
Copy !req
834. That's all right.
Land!
Copy !req
835. Here we go.
Heading back.
Copy !req
836. Sixteen years of marriage
Copy !req
837. and my wife still
won't eat Chinese food.
Copy !req
838. It's crazy.
Copy !req
839. Especially since we met
in a Chinese restaurant.
Copy !req
840. How're we doing?
Copy !req
841. Where are we? Are we back yet?
Copy !req
842. Trust me, Arthur.
I know what I'm doing.
Copy !req
843. It's a protest on her behalf.
Copy !req
844. She relates Chinese food
to our marriage.
Copy !req
845. We're not gonna make it back.
We're not gonna make it back.
Copy !req
846. I knew it! I knew it!
Copy !req
847. We're not gonna
make it back. I knew it!
Copy !req
848. Arthur. Look at that, huh?
Didn't I tell you
I got good instincts?
Copy !req
849. Oh. Hang on, Arthur.
Hang on, now.
Copy !req
850. Hang on.
Get us back.
Copy !req
851. Hang on, Arthur.
We'll make it.
Copy !req
852. Hang on.
Oh!
Copy !req
853. Just hang on.
Oh, God!
Copy !req
854. Oh, God!
Copy !req
855. Hang on.
Jesus.
Copy !req
856. Hang on.
God.
Copy !req
857. Home free.
Copy !req
858. We almost made it
right on the button.
Copy !req
859. Another 90 feet.
Copy !req
860. Told you I had good instincts.
Copy !req
861. Come on.
Copy !req
862. Let's go ashore.
Copy !req
863. God.
Copy !req
864. Ah, shit. My wheel.
Copy !req
865. Come on, Arthur.
Copy !req
866. Come on, it's easier when
you take the belt off.
Copy !req
867. That's it.
Copy !req
868. You all right? Come on.
Copy !req
869. Let's get some coffee.
Copy !req
870. You'll be all right.
Copy !req
871. Your adrenaline's still charged.
Copy !req
872. You gotta admit, though,
makes you feel alive, vital.
Copy !req
873. When I think that we could be
dead right now, I tell you...
Copy !req
874. Yeah. Listen, why is everyone
so preoccupied with death?
Copy !req
875. I'm not usually
preoccupied with it,
Copy !req
876. but this certainly seems
like a valid time, wouldn't you say?
Copy !req
877. How about another
chicken-salad sandwich, huh?
Copy !req
878. Arthur?
No.
Copy !req
879. Listen, let's get back
to Fleming.
Copy !req
880. You mean, you won't even
consider taking his case?
Copy !req
881. Nope, not interested.
Copy !req
882. Well, you better be interested,
Arthur.
Copy !req
883. There's some very
powerful people in this town
Copy !req
884. who can ruin your career.
Copy !req
885. Ruin my career?
Copy !req
886. What do you mean, ruin my career?
Copy !req
887. Well, they can have you disbarred.
Copy !req
888. Do you want some more coffee?
Yeah.
Copy !req
889. Yeah.
Okay.
Copy !req
890. Disbarred? What are you
talking about, disbarred?
Copy !req
891. Did you ever have a client
named Ernest Drago?
Copy !req
892. Sure. Yeah, Drago.
Yeah. What about him?
Copy !req
893. Well, you gave information
to the police on the q.t.
Copy !req
894. that led to his arrest and conviction.
Drago was a nut.
Copy !req
895. Drago was insane.
Copy !req
896. He used to sit in my office
and rattle off to me
Copy !req
897. some of the most grotesque
fantasies you can imagine.
Copy !req
898. I handled him
on a burglary charge
Copy !req
899. and I used to hear
that stuff every day.
Copy !req
900. He would tell me these fantasies,
and one of his favorites was
Copy !req
901. what would happen if he stuck
a firecracker in somebody's mouth?
Copy !req
902. Yeah, that was
one of his favorites.
Copy !req
903. So I read in the newspapers
that there was this...
Copy !req
904. This nut who was holding people up
with a gun,
Copy !req
905. forcing cherry bombs
in their mouths.
Copy !req
906. I knew it was Drago, I told the police.
The specifics don't matter.
Copy !req
907. By telling the police,
you didn't prevent a crime.
Copy !req
908. You betrayed a client.
You violated the code of ethics.
Copy !req
909. What the hell are you talking about?
Copy !req
910. What the hell is going on here?
Copy !req
911. Arthur, they want you.
Copy !req
912. You're a very principled,
ethical lawyer, with no political ties.
Copy !req
913. I tell you. They want me.
Copy !req
914. They want me to defend Fleming
because of my moral integrity.
Copy !req
915. And if I don't defend him,
Copy !req
916. they're gonna have me
disbarred for being unethical.
Copy !req
917. Look, Arthur.
Put aside your personal feelings.
Copy !req
918. Take the case.
You've worked too hard.
Copy !req
919. Come on, don't throw
your career away.
Copy !req
920. I can't believe this.
I tell you, I just don't believe it.
Copy !req
921. Judge, I want McCullaugh freed.
Copy !req
922. Nothing can be done.
Now, I don't buy that, judge.
Copy !req
923. Just reopen the case.
That's all I'm asking.
Copy !req
924. Reopen the case,
and give me a crack at a jury.
Copy !req
925. I'll get him acquitted.
Copy !req
926. Now, look, you are in no position
to ask for anything.
Copy !req
927. But I'll see what I can do to help.
Copy !req
928. Perhaps there's an exception
to the statute.
Copy !req
929. Okay.
Copy !req
930. Okay, so?
Copy !req
931. Why don't you tell me
about the girl then?
Copy !req
932. This Leah Shepard.
Copy !req
933. Can you tell me anything
about her?
Copy !req
934. What do you want to know?
Copy !req
935. I saw her on a couple of occasions.
Copy !req
936. She works over at city hall.
Copy !req
937. Did you have sex with her, first date?
Yes, I did.
Copy !req
938. First and second time.
Copy !req
939. That's why this thing
makes no sense to me.
Copy !req
940. Well, what do you think
happened to her?
Copy !req
941. I assure you that I did not rape her,
Copy !req
942. but I really don't know.
Copy !req
943. Maybe some angry boyfriend
showed up after I left.
Copy !req
944. Angry boyfriend?
Copy !req
945. That's a little mild, don't you think?
Copy !req
946. I mean, she wasn't just raped.
Copy !req
947. She was sadistically
beaten and sodomized.
Copy !req
948. That goes a little bit
beyond an angry boyfriend.
Copy !req
949. You're right. You're right. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
950. I don't know
how I got into this thing.
Copy !req
951. I've been involved in the law
for over 30 years,
Copy !req
952. and I tell you, I can't find
five people out there
Copy !req
953. who are willing to believe
that I'm innocent. Not five of them.
Copy !req
954. Will you take a lie-detector test?
Copy !req
955. Why? Polygraph
is not admissible evidence.
Copy !req
956. I know. I just... I would like you
to do it for me.
Copy !req
957. I'll think about it.
No, no, no.
Copy !req
958. I said that I would think about it.
Copy !req
959. You can't do this. No, no, I need
a polygraph to prepare your case.
Copy !req
960. Now, if I'm gonna be your lawyer,
Copy !req
961. you can't tie...
If you're going to be my lawyer?
Copy !req
962. Mr. Kirkland, you are my lawyer.
Copy !req
963. I know, I'm your lawyer.
I'm your lawyer. I know that.
Copy !req
964. And as your lawyer, there are certain
demands I'm gonna have to...
Copy !req
965. As I said to you before,
Copy !req
966. you don't ask for anything,
you don't demand anything.
Copy !req
967. Now, sit down.
I've got a lot of work to do.
Copy !req
968. I said, sit down.
Copy !req
969. Leave it out here.
Copy !req
970. Give me a kiss.
All right.
Copy !req
971. Now one for you,
my man. All right.
Copy !req
972. Jeff, what happened to you?
Copy !req
973. Some... Somebody beat me up.
Copy !req
974. What...? What for?
I don't know. I didn't ask.
Copy !req
975. Listen, Jeff, I talked to Fleming.
Copy !req
976. And we're gonna
work something out.
Copy !req
977. We're gonna get you out of here.
When?
Copy !req
978. It's gonna take
a couple of weeks, Jeff.
Copy !req
979. Three weeks, tops.
Copy !req
980. I promise you,
I'll get you out by then.
Copy !req
981. Three weeks?
Three weeks. That's the best I can do.
Copy !req
982. You have to be kidding me.
Well, it's the best I can do, Jeff.
Copy !req
983. What am I supposed to do?
Copy !req
984. I don't know. You're gonna
have to hang in, that's all.
Copy !req
985. Just have to take care of yourself.
Take care of myself?
Copy !req
986. Mr. Kirkland, I got myself
locked up in solitary
Copy !req
987. just to get away from some guys.
Copy !req
988. I don't know how to fight.
Copy !req
989. Hey, you read in the paper
about all these guys
Copy !req
990. getting let out of prison
because it's too crowded.
Copy !req
991. And here I am,
and I didn't do nothing.
Copy !req
992. If that don't beat all.
Copy !req
993. I know, I know, I know it, Jeff.
Copy !req
994. You can't lose hope.
Copy !req
995. You understand me?
You can't lose hope.
Copy !req
996. Happy Thanksgiving.
Copy !req
997. I bet we're gonna
have good turkey.
Copy !req
998. - We're gonna have good turkey.
- What are you talking about?
Copy !req
999. Where's your teeth?
Copy !req
1000. You gotta have your teeth
if you're gonna eat turkey.
Copy !req
1001. Where's your teeth, Grandpa?
Copy !req
1002. Did I have my teeth
the last time you were here?
Copy !req
1003. Of course you had teeth.
You had teeth this morning.
Heh, heh, heh.
Copy !req
1004. He don't remember so good.
Copy !req
1005. What did I do with my teeth?
Copy !req
1006. He's very proud of you.
Copy !req
1007. He's always talking about how his
grandson is gonna become a lawyer.
Copy !req
1008. Ugh. I wish he could remember
that I am a lawyer.
Copy !req
1009. Well, sometimes he does,
sometimes he doesn't.
Copy !req
1010. What's the difference?
He's still proud of you.
Copy !req
1011. Arnie.
Huh?
Copy !req
1012. Are you sure
I had my teeth this morning?
Copy !req
1013. I know you had teeth.
Copy !req
1014. Hey. What's that?
Copy !req
1015. By the television.
Ugh.
Copy !req
1016. All right.
Okay.
Copy !req
1017. I'm ready.
Copy !req
1018. Hope this friend of yours
won't mind me coming.
Copy !req
1019. No, Arnie.
No, this is Thanksgiving.
It's an open house.
Copy !req
1020. There are gonna be a lot of people.
Be all right. Be fine.
Copy !req
1021. Let me get this here.
Copy !req
1022. Okay, guys.
Let's go, let's go.
Copy !req
1023. I hope they don't have yams.
Copy !req
1024. I hate yams.
Copy !req
1025. I can't eat off my knees.
Hm.
Copy !req
1026. What happened to sitting
at a table?
Copy !req
1027. You say, "Pass the salt.
Copy !req
1028. A little more stuffing,
if you don't mind."
Copy !req
1029. Is it true that Fleming
passed a polygraph test?
Copy !req
1030. Larry, that's privileged information.
Copy !req
1031. Yeah, let's just say
I'm one of the privileged.
Copy !req
1032. He did, didn't he?
Copy !req
1033. What's the odds on that?
Copy !req
1034. Nobody wanted to believe
he was innocent.
Copy !req
1035. I can't talk about that.
Copy !req
1036. I could tell this is catered.
Copy !req
1037. Turkey, I know.
What is this? What is it?
Copy !req
1038. Excuse me.
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
Copy !req
1039. Thank you.
Go already.
Copy !req
1040. What is this fancy thing
over here?
Copy !req
1041. You don't like it?
You don't eat it.
Copy !req
1042. I'll bet it's yams.
Copy !req
1043. They're hiding the yams
so I'll eat it.
Copy !req
1044. Hi. How are you?
Copy !req
1045. Jay?
What?
Copy !req
1046. What do you think, Arthur?
Copy !req
1047. Hi, Tom. Happy Thanksgiving.
How are you?
Copy !req
1048. Good to see you. How are you?
Copy !req
1049. How are you? Good to see you.
Copy !req
1050. Hello, Larry.
You're an asshole.
Copy !req
1051. Ha, ha, ha. Do you like it?
It came to me during the night.
Copy !req
1052. I gotta talk to you.
Excuse me.
Copy !req
1053. Sure.
Excuse me. Marcie, I'm coming back.
Copy !req
1054. And when I do,
you are allowed to pet it.
Copy !req
1055. So, what are you doing?
What's going on?
Copy !req
1056. Nothing.
Copy !req
1057. What do you mean, nothing?
What are you doing with that head?
Copy !req
1058. Where'd you get it?
I shaved my head.
Copy !req
1059. What for?
Change of pace.
Copy !req
1060. Shave your head
for a change of pace? Jay.
Copy !req
1061. So you see what it does?
Copy !req
1062. Arthur, listen to me.
It's going to make it thick.
Copy !req
1063. When this comes back,
it's gonna be thick.
Copy !req
1064. What's bothering you, Jay?
Copy !req
1065. Don't play big brother, all right?
Copy !req
1066. Where's that Marcie?
Marcie.
Copy !req
1067. Will the defendant please rise?
Copy !req
1068. I find the defendant
guilty of armed robbery.
Copy !req
1069. I don't understand.
What's going on?
Copy !req
1070. Am I going to jail? I can't go.
Copy !req
1071. Your Honor, in light of the fact that this
is the defendant's first major offense,
Copy !req
1072. that he has no prior criminal record,
that he's currently employed,
Copy !req
1073. I am requesting
a pre-sentence investigation.
Copy !req
1074. You foresee a favorable
probation report?
Copy !req
1075. Yes, Your Honor, I do.
Copy !req
1076. Make note that a probation
report is to be drawn up
Copy !req
1077. and presented to this court
within 15 days.
Copy !req
1078. Sentencing will be withheld
until that time.
Copy !req
1079. The next case...
Copy !req
1080. What happens now?
Copy !req
1081. They prepare a report,
present it to the judge,
Copy !req
1082. and within 15 days,
you should be put on probation.
Copy !req
1083. "Should be"? Mr. Kirkland, I got to be.
Don't worry, you'll be okay.
Copy !req
1084. You'll be okay.
Copy !req
1085. Arthur.
Copy !req
1086. Arthur, where you going?
Uh, my office.
Copy !req
1087. Come on in. I'll take you.
Okay.
Copy !req
1088. It's a new one, huh?
Yeah, you like it?
Copy !req
1089. Yeah.
Copy !req
1090. Arthur?
Yeah?
Copy !req
1091. I got a problem.
Yeah, what?
Copy !req
1092. This young girl, it's, uh...
Copy !req
1093. Not again, Carl.
Copy !req
1094. I think it's a paternity suit.
Copy !req
1095. Well...
Copy !req
1096. you know me, Arthur.
Copy !req
1097. So is Jay letting his hair grow back,
or is he keeping it shaved?
Copy !req
1098. He shaves it every day.
Copy !req
1099. Carries around
a battery-operated razor.
Copy !req
1100. Running it over his head
all day long.
Copy !req
1101. Jesus. Sounds pretty bad.
Copy !req
1102. He's not all right, is he?
Copy !req
1103. He's all right. He'll be all right.
Copy !req
1104. You know, Arthur,
Copy !req
1105. the committee's considering
calling him in.
Copy !req
1106. Don't look at me like that.
His clients are complaining.
Copy !req
1107. He's postponing his court dates,
shaved his head, he's got a problem.
Copy !req
1108. Look, he's all right. He's all right.
Copy !req
1109. You know what this thing
comes down to, don't you?
Copy !req
1110. What?
Copy !req
1111. Every day defense lawyers
are out there
Copy !req
1112. protecting guilty people and getting
them off and they're not affected by it.
Copy !req
1113. That's right.
It's not supposed to affect them.
Copy !req
1114. Difference is that Jay was
affected by it. You see?
Copy !req
1115. He was hurt by it.
Copy !req
1116. He was injured by it.
I understand that.
Copy !req
1117. All right.
But that is not the point.
Copy !req
1118. Isn't it ironic that the one lawyer,
the only lawyer, who felt something
Copy !req
1119. should be brought up
before your ethics committee?
Copy !req
1120. Stop trying to make yourself out to be
the only sensitive person around here.
Copy !req
1121. I know. I know Jay was hurting.
I know that.
Copy !req
1122. That's not the point.
Copy !req
1123. The point is, he is not functioning
properly because of it.
Copy !req
1124. He's all right.
He just needs a little time, that's all.
Copy !req
1125. I've taken over
most of his court cases.
Copy !req
1126. He's... He's putting
his emphasis on contracts.
Copy !req
1127. Now, lay off him, okay?
Copy !req
1128. It's not up to me. I'm trying
to let you know what's going on.
Copy !req
1129. I just love the way
the hierarchy works.
Copy !req
1130. I mean, you're going after guys
like Jay or whoever
Copy !req
1131. and nobody is doing anything
about Judge Rayford,
Copy !req
1132. who happens to be
a suicidal maniac.
Copy !req
1133. Rayford?
Rayford.
Copy !req
1134. The man is bent on killing himself.
It's no secret.
Copy !req
1135. A court bailiff found him in his
chambers trying to hang himself once.
Copy !req
1136. You know where he spends his lunch
every day?
Copy !req
1137. No.
Outside his window on the ledge,
Copy !req
1138. four stories high.
Copy !req
1139. Now, this is a man
who's making value decisions
Copy !req
1140. on people's lives.
Wait a minute.
Copy !req
1141. Wait. His personal behavior
is not affecting his work.
Copy !req
1142. Oh, you know that for sure?
Yes, he's an excellent judge.
Copy !req
1143. And Jay's an excellent lawyer.
Copy !req
1144. I know. He was an excellent lawyer.
Copy !req
1145. That's not the point. The point is
Copy !req
1146. his problems are affecting
his ability to serve his clients.
Copy !req
1147. And that's why the committee
wants to see him.
Copy !req
1148. Oh, God.
Copy !req
1149. You know, there are times
Copy !req
1150. when I'm not too sure I like you.
Copy !req
1151. I mean, we are so opposite,
Copy !req
1152. how we feel about things, Gail.
Copy !req
1153. Yeah.
Copy !req
1154. Maybe that's good.
Copy !req
1155. That's perfect, right?
Right.
Copy !req
1156. As long as we keep a little
friction between us, there's...
Copy !req
1157. No problems.
No problems.
Copy !req
1158. That's all the photos
in the Fleming case.
Copy !req
1159. Here's the name
and address of a witness
Copy !req
1160. that lives
in Leah Shepard's neighborhood.
Copy !req
1161. You ought to see this guy yourself.
What's this say?
Copy !req
1162. "Reisler? Reisler?"
"Reisler." Yeah, "Reisler."
Copy !req
1163. - She's a little constipated, I think.
- Got that look on her face.
Copy !req
1164. Yeah.
Copy !req
1165. You say you saw somebody
go into Leah Shepard's house
Copy !req
1166. the night she was attacked?
Copy !req
1167. Can you describe
that person to me?
Copy !req
1168. Well, I'd say he was
a young fella,
Copy !req
1169. small build, maybe about 5'6",
5'7", something like that.
Copy !req
1170. Cherry?
No, no, thanks.
Copy !req
1171. Small fella, huh?
Yeah.
Copy !req
1172. Would you be able to identify him
if you saw him again?
Copy !req
1173. No. No, it was too dark, too...
Too far.
Copy !req
1174. You knew about this publicity
that this case has been getting?
Copy !req
1175. Yeah.
Copy !req
1176. Newspapers about Judge Fleming
and all?
Copy !req
1177. Sure.
And you knew this information,
Copy !req
1178. how come you didn't report it
to the police?
Copy !req
1179. I went to the police. I went down,
told them I had information for them.
Copy !req
1180. They told me to wait there
on the bench.
Copy !req
1181. And I waited an hour,
two hours, three hours.
Copy !req
1182. Finally, turned around,
went home. I left.
Copy !req
1183. I couldn't spend
the whole night there.
Copy !req
1184. You know Leah Shepard,
Mr. Reisler?
Copy !req
1185. To say, you know...
To wave to her,
to say hello.
Copy !req
1186. Would you testify
what you just said in court?
Copy !req
1187. I guess I would if I had to.
Copy !req
1188. But I'll tell you,
I really don't wanna
get involved.
Copy !req
1189. And then what happened, officer?
Copy !req
1190. I told him to move on,
but he continued to use profanity
Copy !req
1191. and he refused
to leave the premises.
Copy !req
1192. What sort of profanity?
Copy !req
1193. You know, the normal kind.
Copy !req
1194. Officer Leary, we've heard
these words before.
Copy !req
1195. Now, for the record,
what did he say?
Copy !req
1196. He used "fuck" a lot.
Copy !req
1197. And "piss on you."
Copy !req
1198. And said he was "gonna bunghole
the short-order chef."
Copy !req
1199. He was "gonna cream on a waitress."
Copy !req
1200. Stuff like that, Your Honor.
Copy !req
1201. There's a good reason
for all that, Your Honor.
Copy !req
1202. Oh? What is that?
I'm a diabetic.
Copy !req
1203. I fail to see the connection.
Copy !req
1204. I have never heard of diabetes
causing foul language.
Copy !req
1205. That's because you're
a douchebag.
Copy !req
1206. Make sure this man
gets over to the hospital
Copy !req
1207. this afternoon
for a psychiatric evaluation.
Copy !req
1208. I will withhold a verdict
pending a medical report.
Copy !req
1209. Son of a bitch. Day in, day out,
the same goddamn thing.
Copy !req
1210. Most of these people belong
in a mental home, for chrissakes.
Copy !req
1211. That judge is slower
than the 6:00 news.
Copy !req
1212. So, what can you do for me?
A year.
Copy !req
1213. What? Are you kidding?
I thought it was bargain day.
Copy !req
1214. Make it six months,
and I think he'll buy it.
Copy !req
1215. All right.
All right, what else you got?
Copy !req
1216. Fenwick.
Hm.
Copy !req
1217. Eighteen months.
Eighteen months?
Copy !req
1218. Good luck. You tell him.
Copy !req
1219. Son of a bitch is crazy.
He'd snap your neck.
Copy !req
1220. All right, tell him a year.
Copy !req
1221. But the offer's only good for today.
Copy !req
1222. Frank, come on.
Copy !req
1223. He's got beady eyes. He's a maniac.
He bit off his cell-mate's fingers.
Copy !req
1224. I don't have the nerve to tell him
a year in jail.
Copy !req
1225. That is the best I can do.
I'm just not in a good mood,
you know?
Copy !req
1226. Frank.
Yeah, here I am. Is that it?
Copy !req
1227. Yeah, that's it.
Copy !req
1228. I'll get back to you on Fenwick.
Copy !req
1229. All right.
Gotta talk to you.
Copy !req
1230. I got a case
coming up here, Art.
Copy !req
1231. And then what happened,
Mr. Saltzman?
Copy !req
1232. This punk kept pulling
my wife's purse
Copy !req
1233. and she wouldn't let go.
Copy !req
1234. So I tried to get him off.
Copy !req
1235. He pushes me aside,
Copy !req
1236. and then he knocks
my wife into a wall...
Copy !req
1237. You want the good news first?
Copy !req
1238. Shoot.
Copy !req
1239. Fleming passed the polygraph.
Copy !req
1240. And I got an eyewitness.
Copy !req
1241. In that case, Your Honor,
we will call the defendant to the stand.
Copy !req
1242. Very well.
Copy !req
1243. And as far as your star witness
goes, Leah Shepard,
Copy !req
1244. well, we know about her
and her credibility.
Copy !req
1245. So you want me to throw
the Fleming thing out
the window, is that it?
Copy !req
1246. I got you by the balls, Frank.
Copy !req
1247. He's innocent. He's innocent.
Copy !req
1248. Yeah, well, if the DA's office
drops this case now,
Copy !req
1249. everybody's gonna be
screaming political deal.
Copy !req
1250. The old lady kept hanging on.
Copy !req
1251. She lets go of that purse,
I'm on my way.
Copy !req
1252. But, ma'am, she just
kept hanging on.
Copy !req
1253. I don't mean no harm or nothing.
Copy !req
1254. But you're the one that's gonna
come out of this looking like a jerk.
Copy !req
1255. Well, maybe,
but let me tell you something.
Copy !req
1256. If this is your run-of-the-mill
Saturday night killing,
maybe we could deal.
Copy !req
1257. I'm not dealing with you.
This is not a trade-off.
Copy !req
1258. I really don't.
Any further questions from the state?
Copy !req
1259. What the hell are you doing?
This is a dream.
Copy !req
1260. It's a dream come true.
You're not gonna spoil it.
Copy !req
1261. When I get Fleming down,
I'm gonna tear him, crucify him.
Copy !req
1262. My client, Mr. Avillar,
has no prior criminal record.
Copy !req
1263. He merely wanted
to take her money.
Copy !req
1264. This is the Super Bowl, Art.
Copy !req
1265. It's the Super Bowl,
and I'm the quarterback.
Copy !req
1266. And there's three seconds left to go,
and I drop back to pass,
Copy !req
1267. and there's a touchdown.
Copy !req
1268. Fleming's carried out
on a stretcher.
Copy !req
1269. - It's that big, Art.
- I find you guilty.
Copy !req
1270. But I'm not going to jail you.
Copy !req
1271. I'm placing you on probation
for one year.
Copy !req
1272. One-year probation?
Copy !req
1273. What kind of punishment is that?
Copy !req
1274. They're getting real pissed off
with the law these days, Art.
Copy !req
1275. - I can turn that to my advantage.
- Remove this man.
Copy !req
1276. You're gonna find yourself
representing a sacrificial lamb.
Copy !req
1277. - This is justice?
- We can't have this in court.
Copy !req
1278. What kind of world do we live in?
Copy !req
1279. You're crazy.
The whole world is crazy.
Copy !req
1280. Ah!
Copy !req
1281. What's going on?
Copy !req
1282. It's Jay Porter.
He's gone completely crazy.
Copy !req
1283. Jay!
Copy !req
1284. Jay!
Copy !req
1285. Jay!
Copy !req
1286. It's me, Arthur.
Copy !req
1287. Where the hell did he get
the plates?
Copy !req
1288. From the cafeteria.
Copy !req
1289. He's been bringing
them up all morning.
Copy !req
1290. Nobody paid any
attention to him.
Copy !req
1291. Oh, no. No, he's not armed.
What's he got?
Copy !req
1292. He's got plates.
Plates?
Copy !req
1293. There's some trouble, judge,
I don't know
Copy !req
1294. Put that thing away.
What's going on?
Copy !req
1295. There's a guy. Not armed.
Copy !req
1296. He's throwing a bunch of plates.
Plates?
Copy !req
1297. Does anybody know who this guy is?
Yeah, it's Jay Porter.
Copy !req
1298. He's a lawyer. He's my partner.
A lawyer?
Copy !req
1299. Mr. Porter.
Copy !req
1300. Here.
No, wait, wait, wait.
Copy !req
1301. No, no, no, hold this.
I'm gonna rush him.
Copy !req
1302. You all right?
Yeah, fine.
Copy !req
1303. Get some canisters.
We'll gas him out.
Copy !req
1304. Oh, Christ.
Copy !req
1305. What do you say?
I'll run interference.
Copy !req
1306. What do you mean?
Well, I got this.
Copy !req
1307. Now you stay right
on my tail, all right?
Copy !req
1308. All right, judge coming through.
Copy !req
1309. Jay, it's me, Arthur. Jay.
Copy !req
1310. Jay. Jay, listen to me.
Copy !req
1311. Jay, listen to me.
Copy !req
1312. Come on. Get... Get...
Copy !req
1313. Help me. Come on.
Copy !req
1314. No. I'm not ready!
Copy !req
1315. I'm not ready! No. No.
Copy !req
1316. I'm not ready.
I'm not ready to try this case.
Copy !req
1317. I'm not ready!
I'm not ready, judge!
Copy !req
1318. Please. Please, judge!
Copy !req
1319. Help me, help me, help me!
Ah!
Copy !req
1320. Warren, could you do me a favor?
Copy !req
1321. Yeah.
Copy !req
1322. Three o'clock, Courtroom A.
Copy !req
1323. My client, Ralph Agee,
Copy !req
1324. they're just gonna review
his probation report.
Copy !req
1325. Now, they screwed up the report.
Copy !req
1326. I made these corrections.
Copy !req
1327. Make sure the judge
sees it, okay?
Copy !req
1328. No problem. No problem.
You'll be in and out in five minutes.
Copy !req
1329. Look, he'll be wearing
a blonde wig,
so don't let it throw you.
Copy !req
1330. It makes him happy.
Yeah, go ahead, Arthur, go ahead.
Copy !req
1331. Tell Agee I'll call him tonight.
Sorry I couldn't make it, okay?
Copy !req
1332. Okay, okay.
Copy !req
1333. I drew up the contract.
Copy !req
1334. I did all the work.
I just wanted you to review it.
Copy !req
1335. So I reviewed it.
Copy !req
1336. For a $7000 fee?
Copy !req
1337. Christ. Doctors treat
each other for nothing.
Copy !req
1338. Where's some
professional courtesy?
Copy !req
1339. Screw the courtesy.
This is business.
Copy !req
1340. Besides, I got the lunch.
Copy !req
1341. Oh, come on, Warren.
Oh, my God, Arthur's case.
Copy !req
1342. I forgot all about it.
I'll see you later, all right?
Copy !req
1343. What are we waiting for?
Copy !req
1344. For Arthur Kirkland, Your Honor.
Sentencing on Ralph Agee.
Copy !req
1345. Check the halls. See if he's lost.
Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1346. Okay, let's move on here.
Copy !req
1347. Sorry I'm late, your honor.
I'm filling in for Mr. Kirkland.
Copy !req
1348. I'm not going to permit this
type of conduct in the future.
Copy !req
1349. When you're due in my court at 3,
I expect you here at that time.
Copy !req
1350. Yes, Your Honor.
All right, let's get on with it.
Copy !req
1351. I have a copy of Ralph Agee's
probation report in front of me.
Copy !req
1352. Mr. Fresnell, are you familiar
with this report?
Copy !req
1353. Yes, I am, Your Honor.
Copy !req
1354. Who...? Who are you?
Copy !req
1355. Mr. Kirkland asked me to handle this
for him. Don't worry, don't worry.
Copy !req
1356. Routine. You'll be out of here
in a second.
Copy !req
1357. Mr. Fresnell, is there anything
you'd like to say about this report?
Copy !req
1358. I think it's all right there
in front of you.
Copy !req
1359. Well, I'm not satisfied.
Copy !req
1360. Ralph Agee,
will you stand before the court?
Copy !req
1361. Stand up.
Copy !req
1362. On the basis...
Copy !req
1363. And take off that wig.
Copy !req
1364. On the basis of this report,
Copy !req
1365. I sentence you to a term
of three years
Copy !req
1366. in the custody of
the department of corrections.
Copy !req
1367. Mr. Kirkland said
I'd be out on probation.
Copy !req
1368. Mr. Kirkland...
Copy !req
1369. Mr. Kirkland said
I'd be out on probation.
Copy !req
1370. I'd like to call your attention
to some corrections in that report.
Copy !req
1371. You are familiar with the proper
procedure of appeal.
Copy !req
1372. Now I'd like to move
things along here.
Copy !req
1373. We have another case, Your Honor:
State of Maryland vs. Della.
Copy !req
1374. What, are you crazy?
Copy !req
1375. Arthur. My car.
Copy !req
1376. Arthur, damn you.
Copy !req
1377. Back off, Arthur.
Damn it.
Copy !req
1378. Watch out for the car.
Copy !req
1379. Arthur, knock it off,
for crying out loud.
Copy !req
1380. What are you, nuts?
Copy !req
1381. Get out!
For chrissakes, stop it, Arthur.
Copy !req
1382. Get out.
Copy !req
1383. Back off, and I'll get out.
Copy !req
1384. What the hell's wrong with you?
What do you think you're doing?
Copy !req
1385. Tell me about it.
Copy !req
1386. You tell me about Agee.
Copy !req
1387. Come on, Warren,
tell me about it.
Copy !req
1388. It got by me.
Copy !req
1389. It got by you?
Copy !req
1390. It got by you?
Copy !req
1391. It got by you! Got by you!
Goddamn it.
Copy !req
1392. Now listen.
Copy !req
1393. Just stay away from the car.
Copy !req
1394. Agee did not have to go to jail.
Copy !req
1395. Do you understand?
He did not have to go to jail.
Copy !req
1396. So he gets out on probation
in 10 months.
Copy !req
1397. Listen, that's not all my fault.
Copy !req
1398. I don't like those penny-ante
bullshit cases.
I was doing you a favor.
Copy !req
1399. Favor? What kind of favor?
Copy !req
1400. It's nickel and dime, Arthur.
It's all nickel and dime.
Copy !req
1401. Don't you care?
Copy !req
1402. Warren, don't you even care?
Copy !req
1403. If you care so much,
why weren't you in the courtroom?
Copy !req
1404. You're goddamn right I care.
But not about them.
Copy !req
1405. They're people, Warren. You know?
Copy !req
1406. They're people. They're just people.
Copy !req
1407. If he's not in jail this week,
he'll be in jail next week.
Copy !req
1408. Arthur, goddamn it.
You know probation's at fault.
Appeal it.
Copy !req
1409. I can't appeal it! He's dead!
Copy !req
1410. He's dead!
Copy !req
1411. Half hour after they put him
in the lockup,
Copy !req
1412. he hanged himself.
Copy !req
1413. Goddamn it!
Copy !req
1414. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1415. Goddamn it!
I'm sorry, I...
Copy !req
1416. Goddamn it.
Copy !req
1417. Judge?
Copy !req
1418. Judge?
Yeah?
Copy !req
1419. I, uh... I spoke with
the state's attorney's office
Copy !req
1420. and they're gonna go ahead
with an indictment.
Copy !req
1421. Who'd you talk to?
Copy !req
1422. Bowers. Frank Bowers.
Copy !req
1423. Well, he's right.
Copy !req
1424. If we don't go into court on this,
it would look like a political maneuver.
Copy !req
1425. I want everything out in the open.
I'm very pleased, Arthur.
Copy !req
1426. Yeah.
Copy !req
1427. Okay. What about McCullaugh?
Copy !req
1428. I need your ruling
on my motion for a new trial.
Copy !req
1429. What about it, judge?
Groundwork is prepared.
Copy !req
1430. We should have a date
any time now.
Copy !req
1431. What are you talking, groundwork?
Copy !req
1432. What are you doing, judge?
Jerking me off, here?
Copy !req
1433. All I need is a yes
or a no on my motion.
Copy !req
1434. Tell McCullaugh to be patient.
Copy !req
1435. Patient?
Copy !req
1436. What? What'd you say?
Copy !req
1437. Patient? What are you
talking about, patient?
Copy !req
1438. Judge. Judge.
Copy !req
1439. This is not a case
of monetary damages, judge.
Copy !req
1440. This is a human being
we're talking about, okay?
Copy !req
1441. This is a boy who's in prison,
Copy !req
1442. frightened out of his mind,
Copy !req
1443. fighting every day for his life.
Copy !req
1444. I can't tell him to be patient.
Good.
Copy !req
1445. Prison should be
a frightening place.
Copy !req
1446. Let those criminals
create their own hellhole.
Copy !req
1447. Are you crazy? What are you
talking to me about?
Copy !req
1448. I tell you, Arthur,
Copy !req
1449. the idea of punishment
to fit the crime doesn't work.
Copy !req
1450. We need unjust punishment.
Copy !req
1451. Hang somebody for armed robbery.
Try it.
Copy !req
1452. We've got nothing to lose.
Copy !req
1453. Do you understand what I'm
saying to you, for God sake?
Copy !req
1454. You don't, do you?
Copy !req
1455. You fellas with your fancy ideas
of rehabilitation.
Copy !req
1456. I tell you that the concept
of rehabilitation is a farce.
Copy !req
1457. Do you honestly think that...?
Copy !req
1458. That bringing Johnny Cash
into prisons to sing railroad songs
Copy !req
1459. is gonna rehabilitate anyone?
Copy !req
1460. Most people are sick and tired
of mugging and crime in the streets.
Copy !req
1461. Do you hear
what I'm telling you, Arthur?
Copy !req
1462. Arthur? Arthur!
Copy !req
1463. Come on, let's move. Let's go.
Copy !req
1464. - Tell us what's going on?
- Give us your statement.
Copy !req
1465. How many hostages are there?
Copy !req
1466. - Come on, just a statement.
- That's all we want.
Copy !req
1467. - Clear the way.
- Move out of the way.
Copy !req
1468. How many is he holding?
Copy !req
1469. The doctor felt he was
well enough to be sent back.
Copy !req
1470. Was signing papers when...
Copy !req
1471. I'm not sure what happened.
All of a sudden,
McCullaugh had a gun.
Copy !req
1472. Guards, I don't know
where they come from.
Copy !req
1473. No training, no education.
And motivation? Forget it.
Copy !req
1474. I hope you got this under control.
I don't want anything crazy.
Copy !req
1475. We're doing what we can.
Can't sit on this for long.
Copy !req
1476. There are too many goddamn
criminals in this building.
Copy !req
1477. Open up.
Copy !req
1478. Get those nurses off the floor.
Copy !req
1479. Excuse me, warden.
Copy !req
1480. Sorry, I couldn't
hold him any longer.
He had to go back.
Copy !req
1481. He had to, huh?
Copy !req
1482. Look, that's not even the point.
I'm surprised he's even awake.
Copy !req
1483. I loaded him up on tranqs
just before it was time to leave.
Copy !req
1484. Jeff?
Copy !req
1485. - Jeff?
- Yeah?
Copy !req
1486. It's me, Jeff. Arthur.
Copy !req
1487. Hi, Mr. Kirkland.
Copy !req
1488. Hi.
Copy !req
1489. - Uh...
- How you doing?
Copy !req
1490. Pretty good. How you doing?
Copy !req
1491. I'm all right.
Copy !req
1492. Can I come in here
a little further, Jeff?
Copy !req
1493. Where are you?
I'm out here in the hallway.
Copy !req
1494. I can't see you.
Copy !req
1495. You can't see me?
Can you see me now?
Copy !req
1496. Uh-uh.
Copy !req
1497. I'm over here, Jeff, in the hallway.
Can you see me?
Copy !req
1498. Can you see me?
Copy !req
1499. Could I come in, you think?
Copy !req
1500. Um. Yeah, I guess so.
Copy !req
1501. Okay, I'm coming in.
Copy !req
1502. So, uh, what's new? Heh, heh.
Copy !req
1503. You know, the usual.
Copy !req
1504. Oh, man.
Copy !req
1505. Jeff, this is crazy.
Copy !req
1506. You know?
I know.
Copy !req
1507. I mean, me, taking hostages.
Copy !req
1508. That's what's really crazy.
Copy !req
1509. You know, I don't know
what the hell I'm doing.
Copy !req
1510. It took 40 minutes
to tie these guys up.
Copy !req
1511. I couldn't figure out
how to make a good knot.
Copy !req
1512. I mean, would you know
how to do that?
Copy !req
1513. I don't know. I guess I would, uh...
Copy !req
1514. I don't know.
I guess you make a square knot.
Copy !req
1515. And that's the easiest.
Copy !req
1516. I don't know.
Copy !req
1517. Would you take a look
to see if I did these okay?
Copy !req
1518. Yeah, sure, Jeff. Yeah.
Copy !req
1519. Look at that knot.
Copy !req
1520. Oh, well, you sure tied them.
Copy !req
1521. They're good knots, Jeff.
Copy !req
1522. Tell them not to come in here!
I don't want anybody in here!
Copy !req
1523. Get out. Down!
Copy !req
1524. Oh, Jeff.
Copy !req
1525. Oh, Jeff, now look.
Copy !req
1526. Jeff, you can't win this thing.
Copy !req
1527. You understand me? You can't win.
Copy !req
1528. Jeff, this is their thing.
Copy !req
1529. They gear up for this kind of thing,
Jeff. Please.
Copy !req
1530. I can't stand it anymore.
Copy !req
1531. They raped me.
Copy !req
1532. A whole bunch of times.
Copy !req
1533. And other stuff too.
Copy !req
1534. Here. All right, take your positions.
Copy !req
1535. Hey, Jeff.
Copy !req
1536. Jeff.
Copy !req
1537. Jeff.
Copy !req
1538. Can I move closer, Jeff?
Copy !req
1539. Can I move a little closer?
I guess so.
Copy !req
1540. Just down here. I wanna talk to you.
Copy !req
1541. Jeff.
Copy !req
1542. Hey, listen to me, Jeff.
Copy !req
1543. I don't know what to tell you.
Copy !req
1544. I just don't know what to tell you.
Copy !req
1545. Anything I tell you, you know?
Copy !req
1546. It's just... It's just that
you gotta give up.
Copy !req
1547. Give up?
Yeah.
Copy !req
1548. To who?
Yeah, Jeff, you gotta do it.
Copy !req
1549. Everybody screwed me.
Copy !req
1550. Who else is there?
Copy !req
1551. Would you go away, please?
Oh, no, Jeff.
Copy !req
1552. That's all I want
is just this much free space.
Copy !req
1553. Just this much, that's all I want.
Copy !req
1554. I swear to God.
Copy !req
1555. Jeff, I swear to God, it'll be all right.
Copy !req
1556. You did what you could, Mr. Kirkland,
but nothing makes sense anymore.
Copy !req
1557. Not in here.
What are you gonna do, Jeff?
Copy !req
1558. Nothing. I don't have to do anything.
Copy !req
1559. You can't just sit there, Jeff.
Yes, I can!
Copy !req
1560. That's all I want to do
is just sit here.
Copy !req
1561. Okay.
Copy !req
1562. It's cold in here.
Copy !req
1563. You want my coat, Jeff?
Copy !req
1564. And my legs. Oh, God.
Copy !req
1565. My legs are cramping so bad.
Copy !req
1566. I can't hardly move my legs. Ow.
I'll give you my coat.
Copy !req
1567. Stay down!
Copy !req
1568. Hey, Arthur. Come on in.
Copy !req
1569. It's Sunday, Carl.
Hey, come on in.
Copy !req
1570. I wanna show you something.
Copy !req
1571. What's up?
Copy !req
1572. Your partner's coming back,
I hear.
Copy !req
1573. Yeah.
Copy !req
1574. They gonna let him
practice again?
Copy !req
1575. Sure. Why not?
Copy !req
1576. Well, heh, heh...
Copy !req
1577. who says you gotta
be sane to practice law?
Ha, ha, ha.
Copy !req
1578. Come on, Carl, what's going on?
What do you want?
Copy !req
1579. I got a little present for you.
You know, favor for favor.
Copy !req
1580. Sweetheart,
give him the pictures.
Copy !req
1581. There you have it.
Copy !req
1582. It's the head
of the ethics committee,
Copy !req
1583. Judge Fleming and a hooker.
Copy !req
1584. Takes a good picture, huh?
Copy !req
1585. What do you think?
Copy !req
1586. That take care of my legal fees
for the next two years?
Copy !req
1587. Oh, Carl.
Take the pictures.
Copy !req
1588. It's a token of my appreciation.
Copy !req
1589. Oh, my, my.
Copy !req
1590. Look, Arthur, come on.
Copy !req
1591. These photographs are disgusting.
Copy !req
1592. But they're not proof
Fleming raped Leah Shepard.
Copy !req
1593. He did it.
Copy !req
1594. The son of a bitch is guilty.
Copy !req
1595. He's guilty.
Okay, okay. Then drop the case.
Copy !req
1596. I can't.
Why not?
Copy !req
1597. Because the man with the whip
is blackmailing me.
Copy !req
1598. He's blackmailing you?
Yeah.
Copy !req
1599. What for?
Copy !req
1600. A long time ago
I betrayed a client's confidence.
Copy !req
1601. It's a long story, Gail.
Oh, Jesus.
Copy !req
1602. That's why Zinoff pulled
your file.
Copy !req
1603. What do you...?
What do you mean?
Copy !req
1604. After you walked out
on the committee,
we did a check on you.
Copy !req
1605. A check on me?
Yeah.
Copy !req
1606. Yeah, Zinoff requested it.
I had no idea why.
Copy !req
1607. Wait, wait, wait.
Copy !req
1608. You mean to tell me,
while we were sleeping together,
Copy !req
1609. you and the fellas
were making decisions on my life?
Copy !req
1610. Arthur...
Gail, on my life?
Copy !req
1611. Would you just let me finish,
please?
Copy !req
1612. The next thing I knew,
Zinoff stepped in.
Copy !req
1613. He said he wanted
to personally review your case.
Copy !req
1614. I swear to God, Arthur,
I had no idea.
Copy !req
1615. Jesus, this whole thing stinks.
Copy !req
1616. Okay, Arthur, if you feel that way
about it, then fight him.
Copy !req
1617. Go ahead.
Copy !req
1618. Go up against him,
take the consequences.
Copy !req
1619. The consequences?
Copy !req
1620. The consequences
are that I'll be disbarred, Gail.
Copy !req
1621. I know that. That's right.
Copy !req
1622. I'm a lawyer. That's all I know.
Copy !req
1623. Then do it. Defend Fleming.
Copy !req
1624. You'll win the case.
No disbarment, right?
Copy !req
1625. You'll end up being
a very important lawyer.
Copy !req
1626. The judge is guilty
Wait a minute.
Copy !req
1627. Of beating and raping a woman.
Copy !req
1628. Arthur, you're talking crazy now.
You don't know he's guilty.
Copy !req
1629. You're making
an assumption he's guilty
Copy !req
1630. because you hate him
so much, right?
Copy !req
1631. Even if he is, what difference
does it make? Come on.
Copy !req
1632. A defense lawyer has to defend
people who are guilty.
Copy !req
1633. You know that.
Copy !req
1634. Would you defend him?
Copy !req
1635. If you were me, would you do it?
Copy !req
1636. I would, Arthur,
because it's my job, you know?
Copy !req
1637. Look, you took an oath
to defend your clients
Copy !req
1638. to the best of your ability.
Copy !req
1639. Now, if you can't do that,
then get out.
Copy !req
1640. Where'd you get these?
Copy !req
1641. I've been carrying them around
for a couple of days.
Copy !req
1642. I'd like to know what they mean.
Copy !req
1643. I see the wheels spinning.
Copy !req
1644. "Sex photos, sex crime. Is he guilty?"
Is he?
Copy !req
1645. Yes.
Copy !req
1646. What about the polygraph?
Copy !req
1647. The eyewitness? How'd you do that?
Copy !req
1648. Those were taken care of for me.
Copy !req
1649. So...
Copy !req
1650. So now you have it.
Copy !req
1651. Well, I'll see you in court, Arthur.
Copy !req
1652. Oh. You forgot these.
Copy !req
1653. So you're home on leave.
Copy !req
1654. Arthur's in the Coast Guard.
Copy !req
1655. I don't understand.
He's getting worse.
Copy !req
1656. It depends. He comes, he goes.
Copy !req
1657. You didn't come for three weeks.
Copy !req
1658. He missed you very much.
Copy !req
1659. Oh, yeah, well,
I was busy, Arnie.
Copy !req
1660. You know,
I had the trial and all.
Copy !req
1661. I know, I know.
Copy !req
1662. It's important to you.
Copy !req
1663. But you missed three Tuesdays,
so he lost his sense of time.
Copy !req
1664. You know, Arnie,
Copy !req
1665. I don't know what I'd do if he goes.
Copy !req
1666. He's the only family I got.
Copy !req
1667. He's very proud of you.
Copy !req
1668. I'm a lawyer because of him.
Copy !req
1669. He wanted it for me,
and he made sure I got it.
Copy !req
1670. To him,
Copy !req
1671. being a lawyer was
the finest thing you could be.
Copy !req
1672. Your Honor, court's about to begin.
Copy !req
1673. Coming.
Copy !req
1674. Coming.
Copy !req
1675. You must admit,
she's an attractive woman.
Copy !req
1676. I wouldn't mind seeing her
again some time.
Copy !req
1677. - You're gonna be fine.
- Take the stand.
Copy !req
1678. Answer simply and directly.
Copy !req
1679. Silence. All rise.
Copy !req
1680. All persons having matters before this
court draw near, give your attention.
Copy !req
1681. The honorable
Francis Rayford presiding.
Copy !req
1682. Be seated.
Copy !req
1683. So it's really very simple.
Copy !req
1684. We have a judge,
the symbol of justice here...
Copy !req
1685. who's accused
Copy !req
1686. of raping and brutally beating
this young girl right here.
Copy !req
1687. Now, we can do
something about it.
Copy !req
1688. And we can do it today.
Copy !req
1689. And we can do it together.
Copy !req
1690. Now, let's make this
our goal-line stand.
Copy !req
1691. Just give me a verdict of guilty.
Copy !req
1692. I need your help.
Copy !req
1693. Thank you.
Copy !req
1694. Prosecutor's completed
his opening statement.
Copy !req
1695. Defense counsel ready?
Copy !req
1696. Yes, Your Honor.
Copy !req
1697. Your Honor, Mr. Foreman,
Copy !req
1698. ladies and gentleman of the jury,
Copy !req
1699. my name is Arthur Kirkland,
and I am the defense counsel
Copy !req
1700. for the defendant,
Judge Henry T. Fleming.
Copy !req
1701. Now, that man over there,
he's the prosecuting attorney,
Copy !req
1702. and he couldn't be happier today.
Copy !req
1703. He is a happy man today,
Copy !req
1704. because today he's going
after a judge.
Copy !req
1705. And if he gets him...
Copy !req
1706. If he gets him,
he's gonna be a star.
Copy !req
1707. He's gonna have his name
in this month's law review.
Copy !req
1708. Centerfold. Lawyer of the Month.
Copy !req
1709. Now, in order to win this case,
Copy !req
1710. he needs you.
Copy !req
1711. Naturally.
You're all he's got, believe me.
Copy !req
1712. So he's counting on tapping
that emotion in you which says:
Copy !req
1713. "Let's get somebody in power.
Let's get a judge."
Copy !req
1714. However, these proceedings
are not about that.
Copy !req
1715. These proceedings are here
to see that justice is done.
Copy !req
1716. And justice is, as any
reasonable person would tell you,
Copy !req
1717. the finding of the truth.
Copy !req
1718. And what is the truth today?
Copy !req
1719. One truth, a tragic one,
Copy !req
1720. is that that girl
has been beaten and raped.
Copy !req
1721. Another truth
Copy !req
1722. is that the prosecution
doesn't have a witness.
Copy !req
1723. Does not have one piece
of substantiating evidence,
Copy !req
1724. other than the testimony
of the victim herself.
Copy !req
1725. Another truth
is that my client voluntarily...
Copy !req
1726. And the prosecution
is well aware of this fact.
Copy !req
1727. Voluntarily took a lie-detector test...
Copy !req
1728. Objection, Your Honor, inadmissible.
Objection.
Copy !req
1729. Come on, Arthur.
He told the truth.
Copy !req
1730. The jury will disregard that remark.
Copy !req
1731. Polygraph tests have not
been proven 100 percent reliable.
Copy !req
1732. Therefore, inadmissible
in a court of law.
Copy !req
1733. Sorry, Your Honor.
Copy !req
1734. Let's get back to justice.
Copy !req
1735. What is justice?
Copy !req
1736. What is the intention of justice?
Copy !req
1737. The intention of justice
Copy !req
1738. is to see that the guilty people
are proven guilty
Copy !req
1739. and that the innocent are freed.
Copy !req
1740. Simple, isn't it?
Copy !req
1741. Only it's not that simple.
Copy !req
1742. However,
it is the defense counselor's duty
Copy !req
1743. to protect the rights
of the individual
Copy !req
1744. as it is the prosecution's duty
Copy !req
1745. to uphold and defend
the laws of the state.
Copy !req
1746. Justice for all.
Copy !req
1747. Only we have a problem here.
Copy !req
1748. You know what it is?
Copy !req
1749. Both sides wanna win.
Copy !req
1750. We wanna win.
Copy !req
1751. We wanna win
regardless of the truth.
Copy !req
1752. And we wanna win
regardless of justice,
Copy !req
1753. regardless of who's guilty
or innocent.
Copy !req
1754. Winning...
Copy !req
1755. is everything.
Copy !req
1756. That man there
wants a win so badly today.
Copy !req
1757. It means so much to him.
Copy !req
1758. He is so carried away
with the prospect of winning,
Copy !req
1759. the idea, that he forgot something
Copy !req
1760. that's absolutely essential
to today's proceedings.
Copy !req
1761. He forgot his case.
Copy !req
1762. He forgot to bring it.
Copy !req
1763. - I don't know. I don't see it. Do you?
- Heh, heh.
Copy !req
1764. - The prosecution's case.
- He's gotta have one.
Copy !req
1765. Not a witness.
Copy !req
1766. Not one piece
of substantiating evidence
Copy !req
1767. other than the testimony
of the victim herself.
Copy !req
1768. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
I have a case to end all cases.
Copy !req
1769. I have witnesses for my client.
Copy !req
1770. I have character references,

from here to Washington, D.C.
Copy !req
1772. I got lie-detector tests...
Copy !req
1773. Objection.
Objection.
Copy !req
1774. Objection sustained.
Sit down, Frank.
Copy !req
1775. Mr. Kirkland, you are out of order!
Copy !req
1776. The one thing that bothered me,
Copy !req
1777. the one thing
that stayed in my mind
Copy !req
1778. and I couldn't get rid of it,
that haunted me,
Copy !req
1779. was why.
Copy !req
1780. Why would she lie?
Copy !req
1781. What was her motive for lying?
Copy !req
1782. If my client is innocent, she's lying.
Copy !req
1783. Why?
Copy !req
1784. Was it blackmail?
Copy !req
1785. No.
Copy !req
1786. Was it jealousy?
Copy !req
1787. No.
Copy !req
1788. Yesterday,
Copy !req
1789. I found out why.
Copy !req
1790. She doesn't have a motive.
Copy !req
1791. You know why?
Copy !req
1792. Because she's not lying.
Copy !req
1793. And ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
Copy !req
1794. the prosecution
Copy !req
1795. is not gonna get that man today.
Copy !req
1796. No.
Copy !req
1797. Because I'm gonna get him.
Copy !req
1798. My client,
Copy !req
1799. the honorable Henry T. Fleming,
Copy !req
1800. should go right to fucking jail!
Copy !req
1801. The son of a bitch is guilty!

1802. - Your Honor.
- That man is guilty.
Copy !req
1803. Mr. Kirkland.
Damn it, Arthur!
Copy !req
1804. That man there.
That man is a slime.
Copy !req
1805. He is a slime.
Copy !req
1806. If he's allowed to go free,
Copy !req
1807. then something really wrong
is going on here.
Copy !req
1808. Mr. Kirkland, you are out of order.
Copy !req
1809. You're out of order.
You're out of order!
Copy !req
1810. The whole trial is out of order.
Copy !req
1811. They're out of order. That man...
Copy !req
1812. That sick, crazy, depraved man
Copy !req
1813. raped and beat that woman there!
Copy !req
1814. And he'd like to do it again!
He told me so.
Copy !req
1815. - Please.
- It's just a show. It's a show.
Copy !req
1816. - Come on.
- It's Let's Make a Deal.
Copy !req
1817. Let's Make a Deal.
Hey, Frank, you wanna make a deal?
Copy !req
1818. I got an insane judge who likes
to beat the shit out of women.
Copy !req
1819. What do you wanna give me, Frank?
Copy !req
1820. Three weeks' probation?
Damn it, Arthur.
Copy !req
1821. You... You son of a bitch!
Copy !req
1822. You're supposed
to stand for something.
Copy !req
1823. You're supposed to protect people.
Copy !req
1824. But instead,
you fuck and murder them.
Copy !req
1825. Get him out of here.
Copy !req
1826. You killed McCullaugh.
You killed him!
Copy !req
1827. Hold it. Hold it.

my opening statement.
Copy !req
1829. All right!
Copy !req
1830. - Order in the court.
- Back behind the line.
Copy !req
1831. - Order in the courtroom.
- Do what I say.
Copy !req
1832. Oh, shit.
Copy !req
1833. The judge. The judge says
now you wanted a trial,
Copy !req
1834. so now the guy's doing
two to 10.
Copy !req
1835. Hi, Arthur.

1836. Good to see you.
Nice day.
