1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,494
Previously on Boston legal
2
00:00:01,529 --> 00:00:03,768
The media has painted me as the black widow,
3
00:00:03,803 --> 00:00:07,117
the golddigger who's poisoned her 70-year-old rich husband.
4
00:00:07,152 --> 00:00:08,686
I am not an evil person.
5
00:00:08,721 --> 00:00:10,186
Yes, you are, Bernie!
6
00:00:10,221 --> 00:00:12,396
You've killed two people inside of a week.
7
00:00:12,431 --> 00:00:14,712
By definition, that makes you evil!
8
00:00:14,747 --> 00:00:16,959
Would you let me take you to church?
9
00:00:16,994 --> 00:00:18,920
Opposing counsel is someone I used to date.
10
00:00:18,955 --> 00:00:20,846
- I thought I told you.
- I think you didn't.
11
00:00:20,881 --> 00:00:22,892
Somebody killed him, Kelly.
12
00:00:22,927 --> 00:00:25,708
Accidental overdose will be very hard to sell.
13
00:00:25,743 --> 00:00:28,490
The capsule was emptied into the wineglass.
14
00:00:28,525 --> 00:00:29,746
Who takes nitro that way?
15
00:00:29,781 --> 00:00:32,134
- I didn't kill my husband.
- Dream case, isn't it?
16
00:00:32,169 --> 00:00:34,939
High profile, splashy, big closing.
17
00:00:34,974 --> 00:00:36,194
Get the not guilty,
18
00:00:36,229 --> 00:00:38,802
have sex with the client, it's all there.
19
00:00:55,971 --> 00:00:59,852
Basically, she looks as unemotional as ever, almost calcified.
20
00:00:59,887 --> 00:01:03,071
No doubt she's calcified, Bobby. I mean, come on!
21
00:01:03,106 --> 00:01:04,537
She's a cold-blooded killer.
22
00:01:04,572 --> 00:01:06,284
I'd give anything to be in on this case.
23
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,670
Why don't you just show up and start objecting?
24
00:01:08,705 --> 00:01:09,454
Funny.
25
00:01:09,489 --> 00:01:12,064
Any man who takes viagra, and trust me, I have been with a bunch,
26
00:01:12,099 --> 00:01:14,861
first thing the doctor says is don't take nitro.
27
00:01:14,896 --> 00:01:17,624
And these weren't nitro tablets, by the way.
28
00:01:17,659 --> 00:01:19,351
They were capsules,
29
00:01:19,386 --> 00:01:23,112
opened up and poured into the wine to avoid detection.
30
00:01:23,147 --> 00:01:26,838
Does she think we all just fell off a turnip truck?
31
00:01:27,812 --> 00:01:29,887
First of all, when I got to the scene of the crime,
32
00:01:29,922 --> 00:01:31,187
she was completely calm.
33
00:01:31,222 --> 00:01:35,146
Her expression was cold, blank, detached.
34
00:01:35,181 --> 00:01:36,408
Did she say anything?
35
00:01:36,443 --> 00:01:37,590
She said it was his heart.
36
00:01:37,625 --> 00:01:40,729
And then she offered that he was having chest pains earlier.
37
00:01:40,764 --> 00:01:43,834
It was as if she was trying to steer us to natural causes,
38
00:01:43,869 --> 00:01:45,460
perhaps to head off an autopsy.
39
00:01:45,495 --> 00:01:46,062
Objeion.
40
00:01:46,063 --> 00:01:47,819
Sustained.
41
00:01:48,127 --> 00:01:51,797
Later, when we confronted her with the toxicology reports,
42
00:01:51,832 --> 00:01:53,199
she just went silent.
43
00:01:53,234 --> 00:01:55,864
We asked her if anyone had a motive to kill her husband.
44
00:01:55,899 --> 00:02:00,033
She coldly responded that she was through answering our questions.
45
00:02:00,068 --> 00:02:01,655
How long have you been a detective, sir?
46
00:02:01,690 --> 00:02:02,683
22 years.
47
00:02:02,718 --> 00:02:05,318
Ever have occasion to talk to someone whose spouse just died?
48
00:02:05,353 --> 00:02:06,073
Of course.
49
00:02:06,108 --> 00:02:07,652
You ever known such a person to be in shock?
50
00:02:08,540 --> 00:02:09,247
Of course.
51
00:02:09,282 --> 00:02:12,083
Is it possible one manifestation of shock is a blank expression?
52
00:02:12,437 --> 00:02:13,487
I suppose.
53
00:02:13,522 --> 00:02:17,114
Did you investigate the possibility that anybody else killed Joel Nolan?
54
00:02:17,149 --> 00:02:18,779
We ruled everybody out but her.
55
00:02:18,814 --> 00:02:20,374
I'm sorry. Maybe I missed it.
56
00:02:20,409 --> 00:02:23,460
Is there any reference in your notes to other suspects?
57
00:02:23,495 --> 00:02:24,204
No.
58
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:27,637
Did you mention to anyone that you'd considered other suspects?
59
00:02:27,672 --> 00:02:28,458
No.
60
00:02:28,493 --> 00:02:30,841
Did you investigate suicide?
61
00:02:31,550 --> 00:02:32,967
We ruled out suicide.
62
00:02:33,002 --> 00:02:35,281
Hmm, there's a cop who will never make captain.
63
00:02:35,316 --> 00:02:38,513
Mr. Crane, approach, please.
64
00:02:45,913 --> 00:02:47,184
I have instructed Mr. Shore,
65
00:02:47,219 --> 00:02:51,233
I will so instruct you not to make comments to undermine my courtroom.
66
00:02:51,268 --> 00:02:54,828
Mr. Shore has already bought himself a jail sentence at the conclusion of this trial.
67
00:02:54,863 --> 00:02:58,315
I'd have no compunction about assigning him a bunkmate.
68
00:02:58,350 --> 00:03:01,780
I'm sorry, your honor. I have, uh...
69
00:03:01,815 --> 00:03:04,127
mad cow disease.
70
00:03:04,162 --> 00:03:07,974
I think you do, too. Look at his eye.
71
00:03:09,637 --> 00:03:11,597
Your honor...
72
00:03:56,088 --> 00:03:59,650
It's 25 miles from home, girl
73
00:03:59,685 --> 00:04:02,512
my feet are hurting mighty bad
74
00:04:02,547 --> 00:04:05,340
now I've been walking three days
75
00:04:05,375 --> 00:04:07,526
and two lonely nights
76
00:04:07,561 --> 00:04:10,803
you know that I'm mighty mad
77
00:04:11,003 --> 00:04:13,465
So this is your idea of a quiet little drink?
78
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:14,664
Did I say quiet?
79
00:04:14,699 --> 00:04:18,858
Maybe I was referring to the nightcap at my place later.
80
00:04:21,459 --> 00:04:23,615
Malcolm, what are we doing here?
81
00:04:23,650 --> 00:04:25,772
That man onstage is my client.
82
00:04:25,807 --> 00:04:27,718
He asked me to come here.
83
00:04:28,938 --> 00:04:30,360
Why did he ask you here?
84
00:04:30,395 --> 00:04:32,630
They won't let me sing "War", that's why.
85
00:04:32,665 --> 00:04:34,024
It's my trademark song.
86
00:04:34,059 --> 00:04:35,649
I'm Edwin Starr. Good god, you all.
87
00:04:35,684 --> 00:04:38,392
Well, technically, Johnny, you're not. Edwin Starr is dead.
88
00:04:38,427 --> 00:04:39,809
But I'm his nephew.
89
00:04:39,844 --> 00:04:41,377
I've inherited the rights to his library and his likeness.
90
00:04:41,412 --> 00:04:43,657
For stage purposes, I'm him. And what is Edwin Starr without "War"?
91
00:04:43,692 --> 00:04:44,834
Why won't they let you sing it?
92
00:04:44,869 --> 00:04:47,895
They consider it anti-American, and it's not just here.
93
00:04:47,930 --> 00:04:50,921
I'm getting it in Cleveland, in Detroit, Bakersfield.
94
00:04:50,956 --> 00:04:53,901
It's starting to happen everywhere.
95
00:04:53,936 --> 00:04:56,846
hat is it good for? Absolutely nothing.
96
00:04:56,881 --> 00:04:58,019
Say it again!
97
00:04:58,054 --> 00:04:59,123
You hear that?
98
00:04:59,158 --> 00:05:00,901
They're singing it themselves.
99
00:05:00,936 --> 00:05:04,177
They still think I'm coming out to do it as an encore.
100
00:05:04,486 --> 00:05:07,011
And when I don't, they're gonna go home disappointed.
101
00:05:07,046 --> 00:05:09,057
It's killing my act.
102
00:05:11,132 --> 00:05:12,872
War, huh
103
00:05:12,907 --> 00:05:14,342
Good god, y'all!
104
00:05:14,572 --> 00:05:17,855
Got her little outfit on, hair all bleachy blonde,
105
00:05:17,890 --> 00:05:19,617
just the way she likes it.
106
00:05:19,652 --> 00:05:21,309
I am telling you folks,
107
00:05:21,344 --> 00:05:25,962
none of this will be worth a hill of beans in the end.
108
00:05:25,997 --> 00:05:26,726
Denise?
109
00:05:26,761 --> 00:05:28,748
This jury is not stupid. It's smart.
110
00:05:28,783 --> 00:05:29,679
She is as guilt...
111
00:05:29,714 --> 00:05:30,483
Tim.
112
00:05:30,518 --> 00:05:33,140
Hey, listen, I think you remember reverend Diddum,
113
00:05:33,175 --> 00:05:34,760
At least hearing about him.
114
00:05:34,795 --> 00:05:36,261
Hello, Denise.
115
00:05:36,296 --> 00:05:37,112
Hi.
116
00:05:37,147 --> 00:05:41,068
Well, it turns out the reverend is also a lawyer,
117
00:05:41,103 --> 00:05:44,989
and well, I've decided to let him handle my divorce.
118
00:05:45,024 --> 00:05:47,545
You're being represented by a minister?
119
00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:48,454
Yeah, I just thought
120
00:05:48,455 --> 00:05:51,816
in the spirit of resolving this as humanely and civilly as possible,
121
00:05:51,851 --> 00:05:54,985
it just makes sense to put things, you know.
122
00:05:55,020 --> 00:05:56,327
As I look at the numbers,
123
00:05:56,362 --> 00:06:00,284
fortunately, it works out rather cleanly. May I?
124
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:02,035
Please.
125
00:06:02,510 --> 00:06:07,472
You currently make $320,000 per annum.
126
00:06:07,507 --> 00:06:09,846
Out of love and charity of heart,
127
00:06:09,881 --> 00:06:12,835
you have graciously and steadfastly supported Tim
128
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:15,567
in his quest to make the PGA tour.
129
00:06:15,602 --> 00:06:17,852
Statistically, however...
130
00:06:17,887 --> 00:06:19,323
let us pray.
131
00:06:19,358 --> 00:06:22,650
Dear God, please continue to bless this man
132
00:06:22,685 --> 00:06:27,489
with the courage to persevere in the face of these enormous odds.
133
00:06:27,524 --> 00:06:28,344
Amen.
134
00:06:28,379 --> 00:06:33,827
Statistically, a 34-year-old's prospects of making the tour look bleak.
135
00:06:33,862 --> 00:06:36,922
Assuming you were to continue paying spousal support,
136
00:06:36,957 --> 00:06:39,982
as you are required to do by law, I speak now of alimony,
137
00:06:40,017 --> 00:06:41,871
taking into account inflation,
138
00:06:41,906 --> 00:06:45,824
your continued job growth, successful person that you are,
139
00:06:45,859 --> 00:06:49,743
it would cost you over $2.5 million over the next ten years.
140
00:06:49,778 --> 00:06:53,418
That's a present-day value of $890,000.
141
00:06:53,453 --> 00:06:56,600
Tim, with reciprocal charity of heart,
142
00:06:56,635 --> 00:06:59,602
is willing to discount that to $625,000,
143
00:06:59,637 --> 00:07:02,535
conditioned upon an up-front payout today.
144
00:07:02,570 --> 00:07:06,450
Although we would entertain structuring it over four months,
145
00:07:06,485 --> 00:07:08,849
if you prefer.
146
00:07:10,158 --> 00:07:13,812
You want me to pay you $625,000?
147
00:07:13,847 --> 00:07:15,765
Anyway, think on it,
148
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,322
pray on it.
149
00:07:17,357 --> 00:07:20,145
Look to your advisors as well as your conscience.
150
00:07:20,180 --> 00:07:23,370
Then we can talk again.
151
00:07:44,848 --> 00:07:47,923
What do you mean she's co-counseling with him?
152
00:07:47,958 --> 00:07:50,857
Apparently it's some case concerning commercial censorship.
153
00:07:50,892 --> 00:07:53,259
Why he needs Tara, I don't know.
154
00:07:53,294 --> 00:07:55,626
He doesn't need her. He wants her.
155
00:07:55,661 --> 00:07:56,699
I beg your pardon?
156
00:07:56,734 --> 00:07:59,475
If you have been supporting him this entire time, there's...
157
00:07:59,510 --> 00:08:01,143
I've been supporting him as a golf bum.
158
00:08:01,178 --> 00:08:03,796
Even so, under the law, his alimony would be determined...
159
00:08:03,831 --> 00:08:05,285
I want to change the law.
160
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,704
You want to change the law?
161
00:08:06,739 --> 00:08:10,042
Yes, if the law says that since by financing his bumhood,
162
00:08:10,077 --> 00:08:12,786
I am therefore required to do so in perpetuity?
163
00:08:12,821 --> 00:08:14,011
the law needs changing.
164
00:08:14,046 --> 00:08:18,302
Sara, I need a memo challenging the constitutionality of no-fault divorce.
165
00:08:18,337 --> 00:08:21,139
I'll need it by the end of business.
166
00:08:22,804 --> 00:08:24,254
Why you looking to Garrett?
167
00:08:24,289 --> 00:08:26,556
If I thought Garrett had the answers, I would look to Garrett.
168
00:08:26,591 --> 00:08:29,375
Instead, I look to you.
169
00:08:29,561 --> 00:08:32,154
End of business, hmm?
170
00:08:32,658 --> 00:08:36,449
Find me a judge who got screwed over in his divorce settlement.
171
00:08:36,484 --> 00:08:38,558
They're out there. Go!
172
00:08:40,410 --> 00:08:41,999
Memo!
173
00:08:46,796 --> 00:08:49,655
He threatened to leave her, and he was screaming at her,
174
00:08:49,690 --> 00:08:51,833
"You're out of the will, you're out of the will".
175
00:08:51,868 --> 00:08:53,112
Two days later, she killed him.
176
00:08:53,147 --> 00:08:53,992
Objection!
Objection!
177
00:08:54,027 --> 00:08:56,379
Sustained. The last remark is stricken.
178
00:08:56,414 --> 00:09:00,654
Ms. Stadler, could you describe the defendant's relationship with the decedent?
179
00:09:00,689 --> 00:09:01,504
It wasn't good.
180
00:09:01,539 --> 00:09:04,356
He was increasingly angry over her affair.
181
00:09:04,391 --> 00:09:07,242
Calling you attention to the evening of December 13th this past year,
182
00:09:07,277 --> 00:09:09,878
did you have opportunity to hear a conversation
183
00:09:09,913 --> 00:09:12,307
between the defendant and her boyfriend,
184
00:09:12,342 --> 00:09:14,701
that man seated there, Justin Murray?
185
00:09:14,736 --> 00:09:15,950
It was an argument.
186
00:09:15,985 --> 00:09:17,971
Can you tell us what you heard, ma'am?
187
00:09:18,006 --> 00:09:21,066
Well, Mr. Murray, the boyfriend,
188
00:09:21,101 --> 00:09:24,212
was very upset that she was still having sex with her husband.
189
00:09:24,247 --> 00:09:27,946
And she said, "Look at the bright side. His heart isn't very good".
190
00:09:27,981 --> 00:09:31,146
"Sex increases the chance of his having a coronary".
191
00:09:31,181 --> 00:09:32,164
Thank you.
192
00:09:32,199 --> 00:09:33,659
I said that as a joke.
193
00:09:33,694 --> 00:09:36,122
I'll visit you in jail, conjugal.
194
00:09:36,157 --> 00:09:37,808
Your witness.
195
00:09:41,411 --> 00:09:43,947
Ms. Stadler, when I asked you a week ago
196
00:09:43,982 --> 00:09:46,714
why you suspected my client of her husband's death,
197
00:09:46,749 --> 00:09:49,447
you never mentioned this remark made to the boyfriend
198
00:09:49,482 --> 00:09:51,496
about sex and coronaries, did you?
199
00:09:51,531 --> 00:09:53,513
I wanted to keep that nugget for trial.
200
00:09:53,548 --> 00:09:55,281
You don't like Kelly Nolan.
201
00:09:55,316 --> 00:09:55,734
No, I don't.
202
00:09:55,735 --> 00:09:56,506
Of course not.
203
00:09:56,541 --> 00:09:59,983
You looked after Mr. Nolan, she got to spend his money.
204
00:10:00,018 --> 00:10:03,425
Mr. Nolan and his wife had an arrangement, did they not?
205
00:10:03,460 --> 00:10:06,040
Where she was permitted to date other men?
206
00:10:06,075 --> 00:10:09,348
All I can tell you is he wasn't happy about her and the boyfriend.
207
00:10:09,383 --> 00:10:10,987
Oh, was he angry about it?
208
00:10:11,022 --> 00:10:11,547
Yes.
209
00:10:11,725 --> 00:10:13,481
Did he ever despair over it?
210
00:10:13,516 --> 00:10:14,320
Sometimes.
211
00:10:14,355 --> 00:10:18,234
In fact, he suffered a few bouts of depression over the last couple of years, didn't he?
212
00:10:18,269 --> 00:10:18,944
Minor.
213
00:10:18,979 --> 00:10:20,756
Mr. Shore, what are you doing?
214
00:10:21,303 --> 00:10:22,934
Just loosening up, your honor.
215
00:10:22,969 --> 00:10:24,808
Did you kill Joel Nolan?
216
00:10:24,843 --> 00:10:25,623
- What?
- Objection!
217
00:10:25,658 --> 00:10:26,994
You had access to the wine!
218
00:10:27,029 --> 00:10:29,660
Mr. Shore, you'd better have a good-faith basis for this.
219
00:10:29,695 --> 00:10:30,859
I'd love to have a basis,
220
00:10:30,894 --> 00:10:34,147
but since the police didn't investigate the possibility, I'm limited.
221
00:10:34,182 --> 00:10:36,783
It would have been so nice if the police had actuly
222
00:10:36,818 --> 00:10:39,797
gathered evidence for the purpose of arriving at a conclusion
223
00:10:39,832 --> 00:10:42,940
instead of supporting a preconceived one. Don't you agree?
224
00:10:42,975 --> 00:10:43,388
Objection!
225
00:10:43,423 --> 00:10:45,974
That is stricken. I will see counsel in chambers.
226
00:10:46,978 --> 00:10:48,987
I warned you not to make a mockery of these proceedings.
227
00:10:49,022 --> 00:10:50,646
It was damaging testimony.
228
00:10:50,681 --> 00:10:52,503
I had to do something distracting.
229
00:10:52,538 --> 00:10:56,374
It was either accuse somebody or drop my pants.
230
00:10:56,409 --> 00:10:57,852
You've got a little froth going...
231
00:10:57,887 --> 00:10:59,295
I am doubling your contempt sentence.
232
00:10:59,330 --> 00:11:01,169
What about his mockery?
233
00:11:01,204 --> 00:11:05,296
They tried this case in the press, totally contaminated the jury pool.
234
00:11:05,331 --> 00:11:06,980
He kept from us the information
235
00:11:07,015 --> 00:11:10,347
Ms. Stadler so affectionately referred to as her "nugget".
236
00:11:10,382 --> 00:11:13,679
What about your mockery, not shutting any of this down?
237
00:11:13,714 --> 00:11:16,294
You psychotic punk!
238
00:11:16,529 --> 00:11:19,032
You're baiting me to say something you can use on the appeal.
239
00:11:19,067 --> 00:11:20,720
Your contempt sentence is tripled.
240
00:11:20,755 --> 00:11:22,201
I move for a mistrial.
241
00:11:22,236 --> 00:11:22,636
On what grounds?
242
00:11:22,637 --> 00:11:24,385
On grounds of you.
243
00:11:24,420 --> 00:11:28,332
We're not getting a fair trial here on grounds of you.
244
00:11:28,367 --> 00:11:29,401
Denied.
245
00:11:29,436 --> 00:11:32,605
Your sentence is quadrupled.
246
00:11:35,941 --> 00:11:40,700
All in all, it was considered a powerful day for the prosecution.
247
00:11:41,208 --> 00:11:45,402
I must say, I always fantasize about my murder trial.
248
00:11:45,437 --> 00:11:48,265
I was a little disappointed I didn't get one.
249
00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:50,804
What, you want to go to prison?
250
00:11:50,839 --> 00:11:53,308
No, but the excitement,
251
00:11:53,343 --> 00:11:55,743
being at the center of it.
252
00:11:55,778 --> 00:12:00,421
I think next time I'll leave little clues like that BTK killer,
253
00:12:00,456 --> 00:12:03,575
maybe little hints to make it fun.
254
00:12:03,610 --> 00:12:06,004
What do you mean "next time"?
255
00:12:07,028 --> 00:12:08,460
Oh, uh...
256
00:12:09,539 --> 00:12:12,097
I just like to daydream.
257
00:12:12,132 --> 00:12:15,951
It's my little Walter Mitty self, I guess.
258
00:12:16,166 --> 00:12:21,861
Bernard, you seriously don't think you'd ever kill again, do you?
259
00:12:21,896 --> 00:12:24,849
Of course not but...
260
00:12:25,830 --> 00:12:28,008
I miss...
261
00:12:28,297 --> 00:12:32,293
it was very empowering, taking a life.
262
00:12:32,328 --> 00:12:35,156
It's godlike.
263
00:12:36,546 --> 00:12:40,025
I wouldn't do it again, of course.
264
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,675
Garrett, who's my judge?
265
00:12:53,710 --> 00:12:54,755
Judge Hober in division three,
266
00:12:54,756 --> 00:12:58,207
Got divorced in July after catching his wife with a car detailer.
267
00:12:58,242 --> 00:12:59,854
She got the house in Nantucket.
268
00:12:59,889 --> 00:13:00,720
What am I arguing?
269
00:13:00,755 --> 00:13:02,774
The best I could can up with is public policy.
270
00:13:02,809 --> 00:13:04,246
Divorce law is archaic.
271
00:13:04,281 --> 00:13:05,822
You'll read the memo yourself?
272
00:13:05,857 --> 00:13:06,781
Right.
273
00:13:06,782 --> 00:13:10,251
This minister, by the way, has been sued three times for sexual harassment.
274
00:13:10,286 --> 00:13:11,803
- I mean, we could base...
- That's nice.
275
00:13:11,838 --> 00:13:14,744
File a motion for a declaratory judgment, mark it up for tomorrow.
276
00:13:14,779 --> 00:13:16,631
You never should have taken the case, Denny.
277
00:13:16,666 --> 00:13:18,483
When a beautiful woman says, "get me off,"
278
00:13:18,518 --> 00:13:20,009
you get her off, Shirley.
279
00:13:20,044 --> 00:13:21,466
It's as simple as that.
280
00:13:21,501 --> 00:13:23,712
Oh, it was never simple for you.
281
00:13:23,747 --> 00:13:25,888
Have we thought about our legacy?
282
00:13:25,923 --> 00:13:30,131
You're gonna go from being Mark Geragos to being Mark Geragos.
283
00:13:30,166 --> 00:13:31,378
Denise,
284
00:13:31,740 --> 00:13:33,605
you're handling your own divorce?
285
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,470
I have two associates helping me.
286
00:13:35,505 --> 00:13:37,590
But you're handling it?
287
00:13:37,970 --> 00:13:40,096
Hire somebody else.
288
00:13:40,131 --> 00:13:41,016
Shirley...
289
00:13:41,051 --> 00:13:44,218
Denise, hire somebody else.
290
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,437
People come to hear you sing as Edwin Starr,
291
00:13:50,472 --> 00:13:53,165
even though you're not the real Edwin Starr?
292
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,859
Yes, and mainly they want me to sing "War".
293
00:13:55,894 --> 00:13:57,673
Mr. Emmerich, what's the big deal?
294
00:13:57,708 --> 00:14:01,318
Look, we get upset with the world for not joining our war efforts,
295
00:14:01,353 --> 00:14:03,256
but how can we build a coalition abroad
296
00:14:03,291 --> 00:14:07,434
if the American people at home don't seem convinced?
297
00:14:07,469 --> 00:14:11,578
So Americans have a duty to shut up and look convinced?
298
00:14:11,613 --> 00:14:14,426
We live in different times. It's my club.
299
00:14:14,461 --> 00:14:19,035
I choose to support our country. This song doesn't.
300
00:14:20,956 --> 00:14:22,163
Let's hear it.
301
00:14:22,198 --> 00:14:22,905
What?
302
00:14:22,940 --> 00:14:24,141
I want to hear it here.
303
00:14:24,176 --> 00:14:24,907
In court?
304
00:14:24,942 --> 00:14:28,369
2 o'clock tomorrow. Adjourned.
305
00:14:30,877 --> 00:14:31,795
Denny Crane.
306
00:14:31,830 --> 00:14:34,547
She's a blonde, all-natural. Denny Crane.
307
00:14:34,652 --> 00:14:38,281
We were making love when suddenly he started to grab his chest.
308
00:14:38,316 --> 00:14:40,157
I was sure he was having a heart attack.
309
00:14:40,192 --> 00:14:41,345
What did you do?
310
00:14:41,380 --> 00:14:42,499
I called 911,
311
00:14:42,687 --> 00:14:45,045
but by the time they got there, it was too late.
312
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,351
At some point,
313
00:14:46,386 --> 00:14:50,715
you learned your husband had both viagra and nitroglycerine in his system.
314
00:14:50,750 --> 00:14:51,575
Yes.
315
00:14:51,610 --> 00:14:55,079
And you learned the nitroglycerine had been traced to the wine.
316
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:55,846
Yes.
317
00:14:55,881 --> 00:15:01,057
It was determined the capsules were emptied into the wine.
318
00:15:01,092 --> 00:15:04,202
That certainly looks like murder, Kelly.
319
00:15:04,237 --> 00:15:07,305
Which is exactly what he intended.
320
00:15:11,755 --> 00:15:13,834
You're saying he wanted to die?
321
00:15:13,869 --> 00:15:15,879
And frame me for his murder.
322
00:15:15,914 --> 00:15:20,875
Even though we had an arrangement, he became extremely angry over my affair.
323
00:15:20,910 --> 00:15:23,137
What about the statement you made to your boyfriend
324
00:15:23,172 --> 00:15:24,869
about your husband having a heart attack?
325
00:15:24,904 --> 00:15:27,636
It was a joke, a bad one, but...
326
00:15:27,671 --> 00:15:31,516
Pretty big coincidence, him dying of an apparent coronary.
327
00:15:31,551 --> 00:15:33,787
If Frances Stadler overheard the joke,
328
00:15:33,822 --> 00:15:35,882
I have no doubt she told my husband about it,
329
00:15:35,917 --> 00:15:38,485
which likely gave him the idea.
330
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,071
How could your husband hate you so much
331
00:15:42,106 --> 00:15:45,623
he was willing to die just to frame you?
332
00:15:45,658 --> 00:15:47,663
He was willing to die perhaps,
333
00:15:47,698 --> 00:15:49,895
because he so insanely loved me,
334
00:15:49,930 --> 00:15:52,092
and I was giving my love to another.
335
00:15:52,127 --> 00:15:53,732
You didn't kill him?
336
00:15:53,767 --> 00:15:56,712
I absolutely did not kill him.
337
00:15:58,777 --> 00:15:59,765
What the hell was that?
338
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,693
You came off as the most unfeeling person!
339
00:16:01,728 --> 00:16:03,552
- Take it easy, Brad.
- Take it easy?
340
00:16:03,587 --> 00:16:05,750
The goal is to get the jury to sympathize wither,
341
00:16:05,785 --> 00:16:07,913
and she's coming off like frosty the snowgirl.
342
00:16:07,948 --> 00:16:09,783
How about this question? Do you care?
343
00:16:09,818 --> 00:16:11,917
- Do you even care if he's dead?
- All right.
344
00:16:11,952 --> 00:16:14,026
I don't get it. Is this how you try to save your life?
345
00:16:14,061 --> 00:16:15,699
What was I supposed to do, cry?
346
00:16:15,734 --> 00:16:17,711
That might be a start and let me tell you something,
347
00:16:17,746 --> 00:16:19,688
if you don't come off as human in the cross-examination,
348
00:16:19,723 --> 00:16:21,488
You're done, if you're not done already.
349
00:16:21,523 --> 00:16:23,219
I can't pretend to be something I'm not.
350
00:16:23,254 --> 00:16:25,106
The jury would see through that, wouldn't they?
351
00:16:25,141 --> 00:16:28,626
Look, what we're telling you is, if you don't let the jury in,
352
00:16:28,661 --> 00:16:33,302
if they don't see you as a human being, or at least a distant cousin thereof,
353
00:16:33,337 --> 00:16:36,380
read "Old yeller" tonight or whatever it takes,
354
00:16:36,415 --> 00:16:39,388
but come in here tomorrow ready to reveal emotion.
355
00:16:39,423 --> 00:16:44,248
Otherwise, you'll be spending the rest of your life in jail.
356
00:16:48,192 --> 00:16:51,203
Did he say he was gonna kill somebody?
357
00:16:51,238 --> 00:16:54,547
No, but I'm suddenly beginning to think he will,
358
00:16:54,582 --> 00:16:57,842
which is why I'm here with a heavy heart.
359
00:16:57,877 --> 00:17:01,103
What exactly did he say about killing?
360
00:17:01,138 --> 00:17:04,062
It makes him feel godly, which...
361
00:17:04,097 --> 00:17:07,946
the whole reason I introduced him to God was to go in another direction.
362
00:17:07,981 --> 00:17:11,330
Well, idle fantasies, that's not something we can arrest him for.
363
00:17:11,365 --> 00:17:14,853
But what about his past murders?
364
00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:17,421
I'm gonna be honest, Mrs. Piper.
365
00:17:17,456 --> 00:17:19,386
You admittedly described him as grandiose.
366
00:17:19,421 --> 00:17:24,257
That means his little confessions to you could be interpreted as boasts.
367
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,633
But you arrested him for those murders.
368
00:17:26,668 --> 00:17:29,277
And couldn't prosecute him because of lack of evidence.
369
00:17:29,312 --> 00:17:31,124
But now I'm giving you evidence.
370
00:17:31,159 --> 00:17:32,720
Which is problematic.
371
00:17:32,755 --> 00:17:34,417
Your relationship with Mr. Ferrion
372
00:17:34,452 --> 00:17:37,362
might very well be an extension of lawyer-client privilege
373
00:17:37,397 --> 00:17:41,578
since that's how you first learned of these crimes.
374
00:17:41,613 --> 00:17:42,594
Tell you what.
375
00:17:42,629 --> 00:17:45,581
I'll look into this, discuss it with the DA.
376
00:17:45,616 --> 00:17:50,085
But I'm not optimistic at this point.
377
00:18:10,469 --> 00:18:13,152
It's going that well, huh?
378
00:18:13,954 --> 00:18:16,776
Why in god's name did you let her testify?
379
00:18:16,811 --> 00:18:19,766
Because the jury needed to hear her say she didn't do it.
380
00:18:19,801 --> 00:18:21,351
That bubblehead on the news is saying
381
00:18:21,386 --> 00:18:24,147
she came off cold to the point of psychotic.
382
00:18:24,182 --> 00:18:29,786
Hopefully on cross, she'll warm to the temperature of a popsicle.
383
00:18:30,543 --> 00:18:34,298
The case is completely circumstantial, Shirley.
384
00:18:34,333 --> 00:18:37,568
As anemic as our defense may be,
385
00:18:37,603 --> 00:18:41,939
the prosecution has nothing in the end but...
386
00:18:41,974 --> 00:18:45,136
suspicion.
387
00:18:45,171 --> 00:18:47,689
You're forgetting something.
388
00:18:48,011 --> 00:18:51,445
Everybody wants her to be convicted.
389
00:19:00,753 --> 00:19:02,058
911 operator.
390
00:19:02,093 --> 00:19:06,160
Yes, my husband had a heart attack. Please send an ambulance.
391
00:19:06,195 --> 00:19:10,018
We're at 1622 Wigham drive in Sudbury.
392
00:19:10,053 --> 00:19:11,854
As soon as you can.
393
00:19:13,110 --> 00:19:14,632
That was your 911 call?
394
00:19:14,667 --> 00:19:15,302
Yes.
395
00:19:16,379 --> 00:19:19,021
You didn't sound wildly distressed.
396
00:19:19,056 --> 00:19:21,893
I was trying to remain clam to communicate the information
397
00:19:21,928 --> 00:19:23,739
in the hopes of saving his life.
398
00:19:23,774 --> 00:19:25,989
Ah, you were trying to appear calm?
399
00:19:26,024 --> 00:19:26,925
Yes.
400
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,494
At that time, I didn't know it was a crime.
401
00:19:29,529 --> 00:19:30,909
Now I do.
402
00:19:30,944 --> 00:19:33,258
According to detective Richmond, you weren't crying.
403
00:19:33,293 --> 00:19:36,282
Your mascara wasn't even running.
404
00:19:36,317 --> 00:19:39,028
I suppose if I were trying to get away with something,
405
00:19:39,063 --> 00:19:41,081
I would have made sure there were some streaks.
406
00:19:41,116 --> 00:19:45,021
I might have also washed out the wine glass, wiped it for prints,
407
00:19:45,056 --> 00:19:49,634
there are all sorts of things the innocent forget to do.
408
00:19:53,695 --> 00:19:56,987
The whole concept of alimony is gender-biased, your honor.
409
00:19:57,022 --> 00:20:00,280
The unstated rationale, if you examine legislative intent,
410
00:20:00,315 --> 00:20:03,084
is that women cannot provide for themselves.
411
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,940
- Ms. Bauer, is there...
- The stated intent goes to sacrifice,
412
00:20:06,975 --> 00:20:11,081
women forsaking careers to stay at home raising families.
413
00:20:11,116 --> 00:20:12,066
Ms. Bauer...
414
00:20:12,101 --> 00:20:14,381
Certainly the Framers never intended
415
00:20:14,416 --> 00:20:18,569
for law to be perverted to the extreme where one day it could be applied
416
00:20:18,604 --> 00:20:25,168
to force a woman to work to support a deadbeat's golf habit.
417
00:20:25,908 --> 00:20:29,384
I detect emotion in your voice.
418
00:20:30,265 --> 00:20:33,074
The essence of law,
419
00:20:33,109 --> 00:20:36,853
the role of a judge, is to accomplish fairness.
420
00:20:36,888 --> 00:20:39,307
Does this seem fair to you?
421
00:20:39,342 --> 00:20:42,871
Counsel, I would love nothing more than to repeal alimony
422
00:20:42,906 --> 00:20:46,400
or at least amend it to some sort of merit-based formula,
423
00:20:46,435 --> 00:20:49,381
and maybe someday that will happen,
424
00:20:49,416 --> 00:20:50,867
but come on.
425
00:20:50,902 --> 00:20:53,804
I certainly cannot grant a declaratory motion here,
426
00:20:53,839 --> 00:20:56,083
and I suspect you know that.
427
00:20:56,118 --> 00:20:58,163
Motion denied.
428
00:21:06,387 --> 00:21:09,315
Given your leaning toward acrimony,
429
00:21:09,350 --> 00:21:14,376
I feel I must advise my client to withdraw the charity-of-heart discount.
430
00:21:14,411 --> 00:21:17,415
The number goes back to $890,000.
431
00:21:17,450 --> 00:21:20,304
Think on it, pray on it.
432
00:21:20,339 --> 00:21:24,454
We can speak again with calm minds.
433
00:21:34,521 --> 00:21:35,573
What now?
434
00:21:35,608 --> 00:21:38,368
I'm turning this over to the two of you.
435
00:21:38,403 --> 00:21:40,344
I want you to depose him,
436
00:21:40,379 --> 00:21:42,905
subpoena all his financial records, his family's records,
437
00:21:42,940 --> 00:21:45,100
hit him with interrogatories, document production.
438
00:21:45,135 --> 00:21:46,982
If he's got a girlfriend, depose her.
439
00:21:47,017 --> 00:21:49,187
Find out if she's providing any financial support.
440
00:21:49,222 --> 00:21:52,189
I want a paper war with the reverend.
441
00:21:52,224 --> 00:21:54,994
I want you two to make their lives miserable,
442
00:21:55,029 --> 00:21:57,764
so they both come crawling to me to settle.
443
00:21:57,799 --> 00:21:59,644
This is war.
444
00:21:59,679 --> 00:22:01,489
This is...
445
00:22:01,509 --> 00:22:04,776
¢Ü War, huh, yeah ¢Ü
446
00:22:04,811 --> 00:22:06,850
¢Ü what is it good for? ¢Ü
447
00:22:06,885 --> 00:22:08,889
¢Ü Absolutely nothing ¢Ü
448
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,835
This is why I went to law school, to argue the issues.
449
00:22:13,870 --> 00:22:15,946
Now are you marrying me or not?
450
00:22:15,981 --> 00:22:18,542
I'm still waiting for an answer.
451
00:22:18,577 --> 00:22:19,416
You never asked me.
452
00:22:19,451 --> 00:22:20,305
I didn't?
453
00:22:22,421 --> 00:22:24,349
I guess I tipped my hand, didn't I?
454
00:22:24,384 --> 00:22:26,361
Of innocent lives
455
00:22:26,396 --> 00:22:30,521
War means tears to thousands of mothers' eyes
456
00:22:30,556 --> 00:22:32,600
when their sons go out to fight
457
00:22:32,635 --> 00:22:34,695
and lose their lives
458
00:22:34,730 --> 00:22:38,152
War, huh, good God, you all
459
00:22:38,187 --> 00:22:39,960
what is it good for?
460
00:22:39,995 --> 00:22:41,734
Absolutely nothing
461
00:22:41,769 --> 00:22:42,648
yeah
462
00:22:42,870 --> 00:22:44,280
over there
463
00:22:44,675 --> 00:22:46,495
over there
464
00:22:46,727 --> 00:22:47,873
send the word,
465
00:22:47,908 --> 00:22:49,705
send the word over there
466
00:22:49,740 --> 00:22:51,046
No, no, no.
467
00:22:51,081 --> 00:22:52,802
I said war
468
00:22:52,837 --> 00:22:54,304
huh, yeah
469
00:22:54,339 --> 00:22:55,737
what is it?
470
00:22:55,772 --> 00:22:57,687
The yanks are coming,
471
00:22:57,722 --> 00:22:59,602
the yanks are coming
472
00:22:59,637 --> 00:23:00,647
war
473
00:23:00,682 --> 00:23:02,319
That isn't part of the song.
474
00:23:02,354 --> 00:23:04,337
Getting both points into your cross. Love it.
475
00:23:04,372 --> 00:23:05,447
Gray area.
476
00:23:05,482 --> 00:23:07,273
¢Ü Over there ¢Ü
477
00:23:07,308 --> 00:23:09,065
¢Ü send the word ¢Ü
478
00:23:09,100 --> 00:23:09,865
¢Ü war, huh ¢Ü
479
00:23:09,900 --> 00:23:11,730
But what was with all the "good god, you alls?"
480
00:23:11,765 --> 00:23:13,695
Ah, that is vintage Edwin Starr.
481
00:23:13,730 --> 00:23:15,538
Good God, y'all! Try it.
482
00:23:15,573 --> 00:23:17,359
- I'll pass.
- No, it feels good.
483
00:23:17,394 --> 00:23:19,490
Good God, y'all!
484
00:23:21,377 --> 00:23:23,538
Alan, hey.
485
00:23:25,228 --> 00:23:28,853
Um, Alan Shore, meet Malcolm Holmes.
486
00:23:30,321 --> 00:23:32,624
A pleasure. Tara's told me so much about you.
487
00:23:32,659 --> 00:23:37,232
Really? She's managed to be surprisingly discrete about you.
488
00:23:39,083 --> 00:23:41,345
Oh, Malcolm and I, we...
489
00:23:41,380 --> 00:23:42,724
we're...
490
00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:44,612
Old friends.
491
00:23:44,647 --> 00:23:46,678
You're the one who stole her heart.
492
00:23:46,713 --> 00:23:50,240
And you're the one she willingly gave it to.
493
00:23:50,427 --> 00:23:52,366
How's your trial going?
494
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:54,350
Fine. Yours?
495
00:23:54,385 --> 00:23:55,901
Splendid.
496
00:24:03,514 --> 00:24:05,702
You're right. He is funny.
497
00:24:17,284 --> 00:24:19,411
Show over already?
498
00:24:20,068 --> 00:24:22,261
You look beaten.
499
00:24:22,743 --> 00:24:27,143
I just caught Tara laughing with another man.
500
00:24:30,305 --> 00:24:34,863
Are you sure they weren't just kissing or someing?
501
00:24:35,209 --> 00:24:38,106
No, they were laughing.
502
00:24:39,635 --> 00:24:42,955
I'm gonna lose the girl and the case all in the same week.
503
00:24:42,990 --> 00:24:44,715
You haven't lost this case yet.
504
00:24:44,750 --> 00:24:47,169
Did you listen to Kelly's testimony in court?
505
00:24:47,204 --> 00:24:50,274
Denny, how could the jury see her as anything but guilty?
506
00:24:50,309 --> 00:24:53,070
All you need is reasonable doubt.
507
00:24:53,105 --> 00:24:57,682
When I was a younger man, long before mad cow,
508
00:24:58,034 --> 00:25:00,561
when I was losing in my closing, I'd just keep going,
509
00:25:00,596 --> 00:25:02,761
I wouldn't sit until I was sure I had it.
510
00:25:02,796 --> 00:25:06,445
Just wear them down.
511
00:25:07,045 --> 00:25:08,942
Reasonable doubt.
512
00:25:08,977 --> 00:25:10,804
You just keep going
513
00:25:10,839 --> 00:25:14,880
till I give you the signal that you've got it.
514
00:25:19,438 --> 00:25:22,873
They were really laughing?
515
00:25:24,187 --> 00:25:26,814
She's gone.
516
00:25:35,096 --> 00:25:37,222
Sara, we're done.
517
00:25:37,257 --> 00:25:39,857
In divorce cases, all of them, the clients end up loathing the lawyers.
518
00:25:39,892 --> 00:25:41,900
The client here is a senior associate of the firm.
519
00:25:41,935 --> 00:25:43,607
There's no way we come out of this.
520
00:25:43,642 --> 00:25:47,762
Unless by some miracle, we can make it go away, which we can't...
521
00:25:47,797 --> 00:25:49,367
unless...
522
00:25:49,524 --> 00:25:50,577
Unless what?
523
00:25:50,612 --> 00:25:54,123
Well, instead of targeting the ex-husband, we go after the reverend.
524
00:25:54,158 --> 00:25:55,100
The reverend?
525
00:25:55,135 --> 00:25:57,466
Three sexual harassment complaints.
526
00:25:57,501 --> 00:25:59,519
The man has a certain weakness.
527
00:25:59,554 --> 00:26:01,503
I don't like where this is heading.
528
00:26:01,538 --> 00:26:03,500
Sara, when I first met you, I said to myself,
529
00:26:03,535 --> 00:26:06,385
"Wow, now there's a funny, intellectually acute woman"
530
00:26:06,420 --> 00:26:08,387
"who can get men to take their clothes off. "
531
00:26:08,422 --> 00:26:10,976
Ah, could I say "thank you" or slap you?
532
00:26:11,011 --> 00:26:12,910
I'm good with either, actually, but look, I just had an idea.
533
00:26:12,945 --> 00:26:14,680
If it doesn't work, it doesn't work,
534
00:26:14,715 --> 00:26:18,672
but right now, we have absolutely nothing to lose.
535
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,312
Trust me.
536
00:26:25,028 --> 00:26:26,428
911 operator.
537
00:26:26,463 --> 00:26:30,553
Yes, my husband had a heart attack. Please send an ambulance.
538
00:26:30,588 --> 00:26:34,393
We're at 1622 Wigham drive in Sudbury.
539
00:26:34,428 --> 00:26:36,465
As soon as you can.
540
00:26:37,691 --> 00:26:40,525
Did that sound like grief to you?
541
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,324
How cold, calculating is this woman?
542
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,526
Detective Richmond told you she wasn't even crying at the scene,
543
00:26:46,561 --> 00:26:48,570
just a blank expression
544
00:26:48,605 --> 00:26:52,465
as she calmly tried to steer the police toward natural causes.
545
00:26:52,500 --> 00:26:56,325
And then when confronted with the toxicology evidence, she says,
546
00:26:56,360 --> 00:26:58,782
"Gee, he killed himself to get back at me".
547
00:26:58,817 --> 00:27:03,009
That is the most implausible, far-fetched, desperate theory
548
00:27:03,044 --> 00:27:05,853
I've ever heard in my 17 years as a district attorney.
549
00:27:05,888 --> 00:27:08,174
What kind of monster can drug her husband
550
00:27:08,209 --> 00:27:11,875
and then actually hang around to watch him check out?
551
00:27:11,910 --> 00:27:14,449
Well, you saw that monster on the stand.
552
00:27:14,484 --> 00:27:17,538
Flat affect, no emotion, cold.
553
00:27:17,573 --> 00:27:22,172
Her testimony was chilling, without conscience.
554
00:27:22,207 --> 00:27:25,101
You got to witness firsthand
555
00:27:25,136 --> 00:27:27,995
the psyche of a murderer.
556
00:27:32,032 --> 00:27:34,310
Keep going till you get reasonable doubt.
557
00:27:34,345 --> 00:27:37,092
I could be up there all day.
558
00:27:37,127 --> 00:27:39,839
Mr. Shore, we're waiting.
559
00:27:40,397 --> 00:27:42,097
Yes, your honor.
560
00:27:46,581 --> 00:27:48,421
Why are we here?
561
00:27:48,456 --> 00:27:51,499
Certainly not because of evidence. There isn't any.
562
00:27:51,534 --> 00:27:54,579
Any witnesses see my client give her husband viagra?
563
00:27:54,614 --> 00:27:57,625
Anybody see her put nitroglycerine into his wine?
564
00:27:57,660 --> 00:28:00,499
No, we're being asked to assume that evil.
565
00:28:00,534 --> 00:28:06,047
Well, why can't we impute the same sinister mentality to the deceased?
566
00:28:06,082 --> 00:28:08,340
Because people just don't take their own lives?
567
00:28:08,375 --> 00:28:13,423
We have over a million suicides across the globe every year, a million.
568
00:28:13,458 --> 00:28:18,471
Suicide is a much more common and therefore plausible thing than murder,
569
00:28:18,506 --> 00:28:19,801
so why are we here?
570
00:28:19,836 --> 00:28:22,273
Because Kelly Nolan had a blank expression on her face
571
00:28:22,308 --> 00:28:24,233
when the police arrived at the scene?
572
00:28:24,268 --> 00:28:26,124
She was in shock, for God's sake.
573
00:28:26,159 --> 00:28:29,782
Her huand had just died right before her eyes.
574
00:28:29,817 --> 00:28:31,780
Fingerprints on the wineglass?
575
00:28:31,815 --> 00:28:33,358
It was her house.
576
00:28:33,393 --> 00:28:35,622
She was having wine with her husband.
577
00:28:35,657 --> 00:28:39,733
Is it so inconceivable that she would touch his glass?
578
00:28:39,768 --> 00:28:40,978
And if she were guilty,
579
00:28:41,013 --> 00:28:43,791
don't you think she would have wiped the glass clean or washed it,
580
00:28:43,826 --> 00:28:47,069
so the nitro wouldn't have been detected?
581
00:28:47,104 --> 00:28:49,087
Why are we here?
582
00:28:49,122 --> 00:28:53,222
Because her husband allegedly threatened to cut her out of his will two days before?
583
00:28:53,257 --> 00:28:55,536
According to Kelly, that never happened.
584
00:28:55,571 --> 00:28:57,090
The housekeeper says it did,
585
00:28:57,125 --> 00:29:01,113
but this is a witness who admittedly loathed my client,
586
00:29:01,148 --> 00:29:03,702
who admittedly concealed information from me
587
00:29:03,737 --> 00:29:06,256
so that she could do more damage at trial.
588
00:29:06,291 --> 00:29:07,959
She has a bias,
589
00:29:07,994 --> 00:29:10,884
and the prosecution offered nobody to corroborate her.
590
00:29:10,919 --> 00:29:13,290
So why are we here?
591
00:29:13,325 --> 00:29:15,647
The coronary joke made to the boyfriend,
592
00:29:15,682 --> 00:29:17,278
suspiciously coincidental,
593
00:29:17,313 --> 00:29:19,729
but that was something she said, not did,
594
00:29:19,764 --> 00:29:22,145
and she said it in jest. Let's remember,
595
00:29:22,180 --> 00:29:23,874
there is no suggestion
596
00:29:23,909 --> 00:29:26,163
that either the boyfriend or the housekeeper
597
00:29:26,198 --> 00:29:28,382
took this remark seriously for a second.
598
00:29:28,417 --> 00:29:30,775
If they did, why did they not contact the police?
599
00:29:30,810 --> 00:29:33,759
There is simply no evidence
600
00:29:33,794 --> 00:29:37,661
that would allow you to conclude beyond all reasonable doubt
601
00:29:37,696 --> 00:29:41,529
that Kelly Nolan killed her husband, so why are we here?
602
00:29:43,145 --> 00:29:45,166
But as long as we are,
603
00:29:45,201 --> 00:29:47,153
what about the police?
604
00:29:47,188 --> 00:29:51,127
They admittedly didn't investigate any other theory, including suicide.
605
00:29:51,162 --> 00:29:52,528
You heard detective Richmond.
606
00:29:52,563 --> 00:29:56,186
They immediately focused on Kelly and only Kelly
607
00:29:56,221 --> 00:29:58,318
because she's the one they wanted to get.
608
00:29:58,353 --> 00:29:59,840
And I don't know about you,
609
00:29:59,875 --> 00:30:03,488
but I certainly find it curious that the prosecution,
610
00:30:03,523 --> 00:30:06,674
instead of reprising evidence in his closing argument,
611
00:30:06,709 --> 00:30:09,826
chose to focus on my client's testimonial demeanor.
612
00:30:09,861 --> 00:30:11,075
What the hell is that?
613
00:30:11,110 --> 00:30:13,899
He wants you to convict her of murder
614
00:30:13,934 --> 00:30:16,712
because she came off as cold in the witness chair.
615
00:30:16,747 --> 00:30:18,289
I saw cold, too.
616
00:30:18,324 --> 00:30:19,922
But what I mainly observed
617
00:30:19,957 --> 00:30:23,303
was somebody who was rigidly unapologetic.
618
00:30:23,338 --> 00:30:26,796
Well, wrongly accused people tend to be that way.
619
00:30:26,831 --> 00:30:29,637
How warm would any of you be
620
00:30:29,672 --> 00:30:32,005
if you were falsely accused of murder,
621
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,339
if you were made sport of by the media,
622
00:30:34,374 --> 00:30:36,408
if your privacy was violated
623
00:30:36,443 --> 00:30:39,148
and naked pictures of you were posted in the internet?
624
00:30:39,183 --> 00:30:43,616
People who are unrelentingly vilified tend to end up cold and hard.
625
00:30:43,651 --> 00:30:46,576
Kelly Nolan has emotionally shut down.
626
00:30:46,611 --> 00:30:49,007
She cannot feel, she cannot emote
627
00:30:49,042 --> 00:30:51,369
and she cannot fake vulnerability
628
00:30:51,404 --> 00:30:55,153
for the purpose of appealing to a jury's sympathy.
629
00:30:55,188 --> 00:30:58,903
She's innocent, and she's not required to prove it.
630
00:31:00,660 --> 00:31:03,207
Schadenfreude.
631
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:09,363
From the German words schaden and freude, "damage" and "joy".
632
00:31:09,398 --> 00:31:15,109
It means to take spiteful, malicious delight in the misfortune of others.
633
00:31:15,144 --> 00:31:19,369
We used to dismiss this as simply an ugly side of human nature,
634
00:31:19,404 --> 00:31:21,690
but it is much, much more than that.
635
00:31:21,725 --> 00:31:27,151
Recently, a Stanford professor actually captured schadenfreude on a brain scan.
636
00:31:27,186 --> 00:31:29,663
It's a physiological medical phenomenon.
637
00:31:29,698 --> 00:31:31,682
When we see others fall,
638
00:31:31,717 --> 00:31:35,880
it sometimes causes a chemical to be released in the dorsal striatum of the brain,
639
00:31:35,915 --> 00:31:39,584
which actually causes us to feel pleasure.
640
00:31:39,619 --> 00:31:43,219
If you watch the news or read the papers,
641
00:31:43,254 --> 00:31:46,752
which of course you don't, because the judge said not to, but if you did,
642
00:31:46,787 --> 00:31:49,993
you would see the undeniable delicious joy
643
00:31:50,028 --> 00:31:54,208
of the media and the public over Kelly Nolan's plight.
644
00:31:54,243 --> 00:31:58,389
I have no doubt that you want Kelly Nolan to be punished.
645
00:31:58,424 --> 00:32:01,102
She married for money. She had an affair.
646
00:32:01,137 --> 00:32:03,819
She carried on naked in the pool with her boyfriend.
647
00:32:03,854 --> 00:32:07,880
She's cold, materialistic, unlikable.
648
00:32:07,915 --> 00:32:13,213
And it might bring you all pleasure to see her go to jail,
649
00:32:13,248 --> 00:32:18,511
but as for evidence to establish that she committed a murder
650
00:32:18,546 --> 00:32:21,638
beyond all reasonable doubt,
651
00:32:21,673 --> 00:32:24,445
it just isn't there.
652
00:32:25,335 --> 00:32:30,532
The only possible route to a guilty verdict here is...
653
00:32:30,567 --> 00:32:33,408
schadenfreude.
654
00:32:43,182 --> 00:32:44,518
Thank you.
655
00:33:02,233 --> 00:33:06,415
The judge is expected to keep the jury sequestered throughout deliberations,
656
00:33:06,450 --> 00:33:08,728
even during weekends.
657
00:33:08,763 --> 00:33:09,711
And other news.
658
00:33:09,746 --> 00:33:10,659
Can you imagine?
659
00:33:10,768 --> 00:33:14,009
What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall.
660
00:33:14,044 --> 00:33:17,251
I thought you didn't like being a little bug.
661
00:33:17,286 --> 00:33:19,288
It was a figure of speech.
662
00:33:19,323 --> 00:33:22,264
Catherine, I don't like the tone I've been hearing from you this week.
663
00:33:22,299 --> 00:33:25,604
What are you gonna do, whack me on the head?
664
00:33:26,999 --> 00:33:28,521
I'm sorry, Bernie,
665
00:33:28,556 --> 00:33:33,474
but that little comment you made about feeling godly and killing people,
666
00:33:33,509 --> 00:33:34,926
that concerned me.
667
00:33:34,961 --> 00:33:38,900
- I said that in jest.
- No, you didn't.
668
00:33:40,339 --> 00:33:48,324
I think maybe our friendship should take a little break.
669
00:33:48,532 --> 00:33:50,121
You can't do that.
670
00:33:50,156 --> 00:33:51,199
Why can't I?
671
00:33:51,234 --> 00:33:54,257
I've made a mistake. I thought you were taller.
672
00:33:54,292 --> 00:33:55,765
We move on.
673
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,814
You exacted certain confidences from me.
674
00:33:59,849 --> 00:34:03,460
Without a friendship, how can I rely on our trust?
675
00:34:03,495 --> 00:34:08,300
I won't betray your trust, Bernie. I just need a break.
676
00:34:08,335 --> 00:34:10,770
Now is not the time to leave me.
677
00:34:10,805 --> 00:34:15,417
I am still dealing with the tragic, unexpected loss of my mother.
678
00:34:15,452 --> 00:34:16,641
You killed her.
679
00:34:16,676 --> 00:34:19,782
That doesn't mitigate my pain.
680
00:34:19,817 --> 00:34:22,854
Catherine, I need you in my life.
681
00:34:22,889 --> 00:34:29,496
Could we just continue to talk about this, please?
682
00:34:32,421 --> 00:34:33,943
Sure.
683
00:34:34,350 --> 00:34:35,940
Sure.
684
00:34:38,711 --> 00:34:41,161
You don't think this constitutes abuse of process?
685
00:34:41,196 --> 00:34:45,091
100 interrogatories, questions which go to his favorite food,
686
00:34:45,126 --> 00:34:48,987
his taste in clothing, notice of depositions of famy members.
687
00:34:49,022 --> 00:34:51,129
It saddens me, Sara.
688
00:34:51,164 --> 00:34:55,067
Reverend, I am in a very difficult position here.
689
00:34:55,102 --> 00:34:58,655
Obviously I have a very emotional senior associate
690
00:34:58,690 --> 00:35:02,209
directing me to be as contentious as humanly possible.
691
00:35:02,244 --> 00:35:03,994
With the resources of this firm,
692
00:35:04,029 --> 00:35:07,033
we can make it cost you 4 to get your 8.
693
00:35:07,068 --> 00:35:10,656
Can't we just find a number that works for everybody?
694
00:35:10,691 --> 00:35:14,835
My client, too, is emotional.
695
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,140
Look, lawyer to lawyer,
696
00:35:19,175 --> 00:35:22,787
there's nothing worse than divorce law.
697
00:35:22,822 --> 00:35:26,399
Let's you and me figure this out together.
698
00:35:29,429 --> 00:35:32,441
It won't be easy,
699
00:35:32,623 --> 00:35:35,917
given all this acrimony.
700
00:35:35,952 --> 00:35:39,211
Forget the acrimony.
701
00:35:41,041 --> 00:35:43,708
You and me together,
702
00:35:43,743 --> 00:35:46,454
we can do this.
703
00:35:58,357 --> 00:36:01,134
It's a lovely song, but I repeat,
704
00:36:01,169 --> 00:36:02,626
this is a private club.
705
00:36:02,661 --> 00:36:05,187
People can hire the kind of entertainment they want.
706
00:36:05,222 --> 00:36:06,319
It's called freedom.
707
00:36:06,354 --> 00:36:09,761
Your honor, beware private industry.
708
00:36:09,796 --> 00:36:13,231
Television networks are becoming afraid of losing their sponsors,
709
00:36:13,266 --> 00:36:16,095
their parent companies fear losing government contracts
710
00:36:16,130 --> 00:36:21,249
and suddenly Robin Williams can't joke about a homosexual sponge at the Oscars.
711
00:36:21,284 --> 00:36:25,282
Linda Ronstadt got kicked out of her hotel room in Las vegas
712
00:36:25,317 --> 00:36:28,211
for making antiwar comments at one of her concerts.
713
00:36:28,246 --> 00:36:31,738
Bill Maher got cancelled for making a politically incorrect joke
714
00:36:31,773 --> 00:36:34,845
on a show called "Politically incorrect"!
715
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,883
Never mind the government or state action,
716
00:36:37,918 --> 00:36:42,506
it's private corporations that are becoming the biggest predators of free expression.
717
00:36:42,541 --> 00:36:46,473
Censorship can certainly be no less acceptable
718
00:36:46,508 --> 00:36:51,246
when the motivating factor is money.
719
00:36:51,747 --> 00:36:53,204
All right.
720
00:36:53,566 --> 00:36:57,454
I think the idea of squashing this song is ridiculous,
721
00:36:57,489 --> 00:36:59,770
the idea that an antiwar message
722
00:36:59,805 --> 00:37:03,774
can be deemed un-American is patently preposterous.
723
00:37:03,809 --> 00:37:08,201
In fact, as someone who considers herself patriotic,
724
00:37:08,236 --> 00:37:12,593
I'm offended by the accusation that America is pro-war.
725
00:37:12,628 --> 00:37:14,112
Here comes the dreaded "however".
726
00:37:14,147 --> 00:37:15,513
However,
727
00:37:15,548 --> 00:37:20,230
as much as I would like to find on your behalf, Mr. Damon,
728
00:37:20,265 --> 00:37:27,703
as much as private enterprises are more and more being subjected to civil rights actions,
729
00:37:27,738 --> 00:37:34,535
I'm afraid a club owner still has the right to control his entertainment content.
730
00:37:34,570 --> 00:37:38,333
Your motion is therefore denied.
731
00:37:38,594 --> 00:37:41,364
Oh, bollocks! I never win.
732
00:37:48,167 --> 00:37:49,936
Look at his eyes.
733
00:37:49,971 --> 00:37:52,125
Nutcase.
734
00:37:56,223 --> 00:38:00,067
Mr. Foreman, you've reached a unanimous verdict?
735
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,483
We have.
736
00:38:01,518 --> 00:38:03,910
The defendant will please rise.
737
00:38:03,945 --> 00:38:05,777
Mr. Foreman, what say you?
738
00:38:05,812 --> 00:38:08,477
In the matter of the commonwealth vs. Kelly Nolan
739
00:38:08,512 --> 00:38:11,275
on the charge of murder in the first degree,
740
00:38:11,310 --> 00:38:14,038
we the jury find the defendant Kelly Nolan
741
00:38:14,073 --> 00:38:16,570
not guilty.
742
00:38:21,188 --> 00:38:23,194
Down, girl.
743
00:38:23,229 --> 00:38:25,950
Members of the jury, this concludes your service.
744
00:38:25,985 --> 00:38:28,671
The commonwealth of Massachusetts thanks you.
745
00:38:28,706 --> 00:38:30,992
Mrs. Nolan, you are free to go.
746
00:38:31,027 --> 00:38:34,888
Mr. Shore, you will report to lockup at 9 a.m. tomorrow.
747
00:38:34,923 --> 00:38:36,715
We are adjourned.
748
00:38:43,221 --> 00:38:46,755
- Mr. Crane, hi.
- Are you gonna...
749
00:38:55,449 --> 00:38:57,230
Thank you.
750
00:39:10,708 --> 00:39:14,176
Undoubtedly you're familiar with the concept of double jeopardy.
751
00:39:14,211 --> 00:39:17,645
You've been acquitted. You can never again be tried for this crime.
752
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,486
And, of course, anything that you say to me here
753
00:39:20,521 --> 00:39:25,100
is protected by attorney-client privilege.
754
00:39:26,083 --> 00:39:31,141
Kelly, I absolutely must know,
755
00:39:31,330 --> 00:39:33,961
did you kill him?
756
00:39:39,035 --> 00:39:40,961
No.
757
00:40:05,830 --> 00:40:08,476
The verdict came as a surprise to several legal analysts
758
00:40:08,511 --> 00:40:10,050
who were following the proceeding.
759
00:40:10,085 --> 00:40:12,444
Jurors interviewed said that while they did conclude
760
00:40:12,479 --> 00:40:14,922
that Kelly Nolan was probably guilty,
761
00:40:14,957 --> 00:40:18,604
they just couldn't get there beyond all reasonable doubt.
762
00:40:18,992 --> 00:40:21,235
I bet she kills again.
763
00:40:21,457 --> 00:40:23,759
You think she'll kill again?
764
00:40:23,794 --> 00:40:25,686
I don't know, dear.
765
00:40:26,208 --> 00:40:28,325
See, the thing is,
766
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,681
once you've gotten a taste of it,
767
00:40:30,716 --> 00:40:35,201
it's really hard to go back to an ordinary life.
768
00:40:35,424 --> 00:40:38,709
That's what I struggle with, I think.
769
00:40:40,489 --> 00:40:42,312
Better?
770
00:40:49,629 --> 00:40:52,910
As God as my witness...
771
00:40:57,271 --> 00:40:59,759
my only witness.
772
00:41:06,795 --> 00:41:09,763
She barely reacted when the verdict was read. Did you notice that?
773
00:41:09,798 --> 00:41:11,709
I noticed.
774
00:41:12,641 --> 00:41:17,288
How could a woman be so cold and yet so hot?
775
00:41:17,470 --> 00:41:20,428
One of her many mysteries.
776
00:41:20,463 --> 00:41:23,386
I never had my sex with her.
777
00:41:24,342 --> 00:41:27,084
There's no justice.
778
00:41:27,119 --> 00:41:30,891
Did we get justice today, Alan?
779
00:41:30,926 --> 00:41:33,218
I don't know.
780
00:41:34,322 --> 00:41:36,352
I think she did it.
781
00:41:36,387 --> 00:41:38,613
Now maybe I want to think that,
782
00:41:38,648 --> 00:41:42,663
because like you say, it could be shutterbug.
783
00:41:42,698 --> 00:41:45,030
Schadenfreude.
784
00:41:45,065 --> 00:41:47,647
Murder cases are fun, I'll tell you that.
785
00:41:47,682 --> 00:41:49,816
Let's get another one.
786
00:41:50,263 --> 00:41:52,680
I'm with you.
787
00:41:54,265 --> 00:41:58,270
I like the pathological. It's sexy.
788
00:41:59,865 --> 00:42:03,054
Let's get another one like her.
789
00:42:03,408 --> 00:42:06,348
My eyes are peeled.
9999
00:00:0,500 --> 00:00:2,00
