1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,673
Previously on 'Boston Legal'
2
00:00:01,708 --> 00:00:02,768
You kill her, Lincoln?
3
00:00:02,803 --> 00:00:04,281
She was drawn to me!
4
00:00:04,316 --> 00:00:04,900
Drawn to you?
5
00:00:04,901 --> 00:00:06,380
You're a weird little pervert.
6
00:00:06,415 --> 00:00:07,718
You watch your mouth!
7
00:00:07,753 --> 00:00:08,987
Or what, you'll kill me?
8
00:00:09,022 --> 00:00:10,766
You're an extraordinary woman.
9
00:00:10,801 --> 00:00:12,023
I don't get to meet many.
10
00:00:12,058 --> 00:00:13,674
I met this guy, Tom.
11
00:00:13,709 --> 00:00:15,809
My daughter, she wants me to fight the cancer,
12
00:00:15,844 --> 00:00:18,564
but I got a second and third opinion, and they all say it's inoperable.
13
00:00:18,599 --> 00:00:20,240
You see how this makes so much sense?
14
00:00:20,275 --> 00:00:21,846
If you attempt to purchase a lung,
15
00:00:21,881 --> 00:00:24,634
you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
16
00:00:24,669 --> 00:00:26,947
Tom and I are gonna be going on a little vacation.
17
00:00:26,982 --> 00:00:29,375
- Where?
- Probably best you don't know.
18
00:00:37,975 --> 00:00:43,172
I don't think wearing costumes during business hours is such a good idea.
19
00:00:43,207 --> 00:00:44,628
Oh, it's good for morale.
20
00:00:44,663 --> 00:00:47,633
We end up getting a better turnout for the party.
21
00:00:51,557 --> 00:00:53,478
I wonder what he's done now.
22
00:00:53,513 --> 00:00:55,784
Perjury? Jerry, I can't keep up.
23
00:00:55,819 --> 00:00:59,205
One day it's the doll, the next scientologists,
24
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,670
now perjury.
25
00:01:00,705 --> 00:01:03,412
Add to that a little hop.
26
00:01:03,447 --> 00:01:06,120
Okay, uh, deep breath.
27
00:01:06,311 --> 00:01:09,244
And start from the middle.
28
00:01:09,279 --> 00:01:12,585
I was on a jury over the summer, a federal capital case.
29
00:01:12,620 --> 00:01:14,204
In order to be on such a jury,
30
00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:18,600
you must declare in your questionnaire that you're not against the death penalty.
31
00:01:18,635 --> 00:01:19,830
What's with the hop?
32
00:01:19,865 --> 00:01:21,025
It's a nervous tick.
33
00:01:21,026 --> 00:01:23,755
When I try to control my voice, sometimes my legs hop, okay?
34
00:01:23,790 --> 00:01:25,708
Would you prefer that I squeal?
35
00:01:25,743 --> 00:01:27,053
Well...
36
00:01:27,088 --> 00:01:28,318
You didn't let me answer.
37
00:01:28,353 --> 00:01:32,208
Anyway, we found the man guilty, imposed a life sentence.
38
00:01:32,243 --> 00:01:33,504
Cut to weeks later,
39
00:01:33,539 --> 00:01:36,094
I'm doing an interview in furtherance of my new firm,
40
00:01:36,129 --> 00:01:37,896
I'm being profiled, if you can imagine,
41
00:01:37,931 --> 00:01:40,524
and somehow the issue of the death penalty comes up,
42
00:01:40,559 --> 00:01:43,091
and I said that I've always been categorically opposed.
43
00:01:43,126 --> 00:01:45,588
And the prosecutor from the capital case must have read it,
44
00:01:45,623 --> 00:01:48,670
and he had me arrested for committing perjury against the federal court.
45
00:01:48,705 --> 00:01:51,127
And now I'm about to go on trial.
46
00:01:51,162 --> 00:01:52,730
I'm confused.
47
00:01:52,765 --> 00:01:55,281
Oh. I was on a jury over the summer, a federal capital case...
48
00:01:55,316 --> 00:01:56,565
No, I know what happened.
49
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,576
I'm confused as to why you lied about your views on capital punishment.
50
00:01:59,611 --> 00:02:01,281
- Because it's wrong.
- Okay, it's wrong.
51
00:02:01,316 --> 00:02:02,327
So why lie?
52
00:02:02,362 --> 00:02:03,943
It's not just the death penalty,
53
00:02:03,978 --> 00:02:07,999
it's the issue that only pro-death people should get to sit on death cases.
54
00:02:08,034 --> 00:02:10,417
It's stacking the deck, Alan. It's wrong.
55
00:02:10,452 --> 00:02:12,800
That's why I lied, to unstack a stacked deck.
56
00:02:12,835 --> 00:02:14,970
And now you're being charged with perjury.
57
00:02:15,005 --> 00:02:19,488
And the horrible prosecutor man wants me to serve three years.
58
00:02:54,131 --> 00:02:55,185
The grim reaper?
59
00:02:55,220 --> 00:02:57,714
I thought I could use it throughout the year,
60
00:02:57,749 --> 00:03:00,209
you know, when I fire people. It's a nice touch.
61
00:03:00,244 --> 00:03:02,887
You gotta see me in full costume.
62
00:03:04,989 --> 00:03:06,002
Hello.
63
00:03:06,037 --> 00:03:09,606
Hello. Lovely outfit, but I'm not surprised.
64
00:03:09,641 --> 00:03:10,376
Lincoln.
65
00:03:10,411 --> 00:03:12,835
Did someone speak? I heard a noise.
66
00:03:12,870 --> 00:03:15,792
It sounded a bit godless, but I heard it all the same.
67
00:03:15,827 --> 00:03:18,251
May I have a word with you, Shirley Schmidt?
68
00:03:18,286 --> 00:03:19,273
What are you doing here?
69
00:03:19,308 --> 00:03:22,449
Well, I'm certainly having nothing to do with you, Mr. Dirty mouth.
70
00:03:22,484 --> 00:03:24,164
I came to talk to Shirley
71
00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:27,279
because she is a name partner in Crane, Poole & Schmidt.
72
00:03:27,314 --> 00:03:29,755
This is for you, Shirley.
73
00:03:30,452 --> 00:03:32,706
- It's a summons.
- Yes, and I am sorry,
74
00:03:32,741 --> 00:03:35,271
because I sense you and I could be friends.
75
00:03:35,306 --> 00:03:37,802
But I have been wronged by your firm, Shirley,
76
00:03:37,837 --> 00:03:40,394
specifically by Mr. Dirty mouth, here.
77
00:03:40,429 --> 00:03:42,317
He slandered my good name.
78
00:03:42,352 --> 00:03:43,926
Lincoln, not to ruin your plans,
79
00:03:43,961 --> 00:03:45,948
but I have immunity for what I say in court.
80
00:03:45,983 --> 00:03:49,695
You have qualified immunity, which you ran viciously amok of.
81
00:03:49,730 --> 00:03:53,141
Oh, you had your fun running over me, didn't you, Mr. Dirty mouth?
82
00:03:53,176 --> 00:03:55,558
Well, now it's my turn to run over you.
83
00:03:55,593 --> 00:03:57,900
And again, I am sorry, Shirley.
84
00:03:57,935 --> 00:04:02,909
I feel you and I could've forged a special bond.
85
00:04:05,577 --> 00:04:09,360
What exactly did you say about him?
86
00:04:09,395 --> 00:04:12,290
Oh, you know, that he might have been the killer.
87
00:04:16,065 --> 00:04:18,746
I once knew a man
88
00:04:18,781 --> 00:04:20,864
who owned a butcher shop
89
00:04:20,899 --> 00:04:22,427
Ole!
90
00:04:22,752 --> 00:04:29,089
He also had apartments to rent up on top
91
00:04:29,124 --> 00:04:35,132
but he didn't include on the sign that he painted "no pets"
92
00:04:35,799 --> 00:04:40,074
And the tenant who rented had six hungry dogs he regrets
93
00:04:40,109 --> 00:04:41,310
but he said!
94
00:04:41,345 --> 00:04:44,474
When things go wrong
95
00:04:44,509 --> 00:04:47,992
just sing this song
96
00:04:48,027 --> 00:04:51,186
the birds in the trees
97
00:04:51,221 --> 00:04:54,554
will sing "C'est la vie"
98
00:04:54,589 --> 00:04:59,495
and soon you will see your cares will be free
99
00:04:59,530 --> 00:05:01,481
Denise, what's wrong?
100
00:05:01,516 --> 00:05:02,677
Sing C'est la vie
101
00:05:02,712 --> 00:05:04,272
- Daniel.
- What?
102
00:05:04,307 --> 00:05:05,612
Daniel Post?
103
00:05:05,613 --> 00:05:08,444
Sing C'est la vie
104
00:05:08,709 --> 00:05:11,397
He's dead.
105
00:05:11,432 --> 00:05:12,837
Sing C'est la vie.
106
00:05:12,872 --> 00:05:14,558
He's dead.
107
00:05:18,415 --> 00:05:19,902
Yeah.
108
00:05:23,298 --> 00:05:24,848
Yeah.
109
00:05:28,257 --> 00:05:30,121
Okay.
110
00:05:30,156 --> 00:05:31,985
Good-bye.
111
00:05:40,124 --> 00:05:44,515
Daniel died during a lung transplant surgery in Brazil.
112
00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:47,883
And you get the news through a mariachi band?
113
00:05:47,918 --> 00:05:50,629
You had to know Daniel.
114
00:05:50,664 --> 00:05:53,157
He, uh, always said that when his time came,
115
00:05:53,192 --> 00:05:57,194
"Hmm, C'est la vie".
116
00:05:58,309 --> 00:06:00,482
Is there gonna be a service?
117
00:06:00,517 --> 00:06:02,656
We had one while he was alive.
118
00:06:02,691 --> 00:06:05,091
- Sorry?
- Again...
119
00:06:05,126 --> 00:06:07,491
you had to know Daniel.
120
00:06:08,831 --> 00:06:10,360
I wish I had.
121
00:06:10,395 --> 00:06:13,578
His remains are at Mass General.
122
00:06:13,613 --> 00:06:16,866
So I think I'll go and...
123
00:06:16,901 --> 00:06:20,646
pay my respects there and, uh...
124
00:06:21,569 --> 00:06:23,374
yeah.
125
00:06:23,409 --> 00:06:24,949
Would you like me to go with you?
126
00:06:24,984 --> 00:06:27,836
No, thank you.
127
00:06:28,161 --> 00:06:29,816
I'm...
128
00:06:29,851 --> 00:06:31,436
I'm fine.
129
00:06:31,471 --> 00:06:34,926
I've been braced for this for a long time.
130
00:06:34,961 --> 00:06:37,834
I think...
131
00:06:37,869 --> 00:06:40,382
I'm actually okay.
132
00:06:41,114 --> 00:06:43,746
Trick or treat.
133
00:06:52,621 --> 00:06:54,097
Maybe not.
134
00:06:54,333 --> 00:06:55,326
Dead?
135
00:06:55,361 --> 00:06:58,239
Evidently during a lung transplant operation.
136
00:06:58,274 --> 00:06:59,719
Oh, my god.
137
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,163
Well, do we cancel the Halloween party?
138
00:07:02,198 --> 00:07:05,886
Well, I certainly have to cancel my costume, but...
139
00:07:05,921 --> 00:07:09,981
no, we're a big firm. I say we go forward with the party.
140
00:07:10,016 --> 00:07:11,685
Um, on another matter,
141
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,070
we're being sued for slander by one of Jeffrey's red herrings in the Scott Little trial.
142
00:07:15,105 --> 00:07:16,496
Which one? There were so many.
143
00:07:16,531 --> 00:07:17,852
The neighbor Lincoln Meyer.
144
00:07:17,887 --> 00:07:20,808
Great. Do we need to get outside counsel?
145
00:07:20,843 --> 00:07:22,736
We do not. I can defend this myself.
146
00:07:22,771 --> 00:07:23,700
Very bad idea.
147
00:07:23,735 --> 00:07:24,629
I'm full of them.
148
00:07:24,630 --> 00:07:27,723
At a minimum, we use somebody not involved in this trial.
149
00:07:27,758 --> 00:07:29,615
Well, that leaves Alan, me and...
150
00:07:29,650 --> 00:07:31,022
Uh, Brad.
151
00:07:31,057 --> 00:07:32,250
No, no, no, no. Not him.
152
00:07:32,285 --> 00:07:33,265
Yes, him.
153
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:37,017
This will be an opportunity for the two of you to bond.
154
00:07:37,052 --> 00:07:40,390
Get yourself in a bit of trouble there, sport?
155
00:07:43,795 --> 00:07:46,072
I'm certainly not defending his deceit.
156
00:07:46,107 --> 00:07:48,693
Mr. Espenson never meant to truly defraud the court.
157
00:07:48,728 --> 00:07:50,656
There's no real proof he lied.
158
00:07:50,691 --> 00:07:53,493
He could have simply been lying in the subsequent interview
159
00:07:53,528 --> 00:07:56,295
where he was pretending to be against the death penalty.
160
00:07:56,330 --> 00:07:57,993
Is this how you intend to play it,
161
00:07:58,028 --> 00:08:02,445
that he was truthful with us and lied during his magazine interview?
162
00:08:03,358 --> 00:08:04,714
No.
163
00:08:04,749 --> 00:08:09,145
I intend to play it by asking for an exercise of your discretion.
164
00:08:09,180 --> 00:08:12,124
Mr. Shore, this case started in state court.
165
00:08:12,159 --> 00:08:14,855
It was specifically removed to federal jurisdiction
166
00:08:14,890 --> 00:08:16,816
at the direction of Alberto Gonzales.
167
00:08:16,851 --> 00:08:19,403
Why? Because Massachusetts doesn't have a death penalty.
168
00:08:19,438 --> 00:08:21,741
So his perjury is a big deal.
169
00:08:21,776 --> 00:08:25,538
My marching orders are to prosecute him to the full extent.
170
00:08:25,573 --> 00:08:27,586
Now if he wants to plea,
171
00:08:27,621 --> 00:08:29,564
I'll give him 18 months.
172
00:08:29,599 --> 00:08:32,085
My client is not going to prison for 18 months.
173
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,023
Well, it's either that or three years as far as I can see.
174
00:08:36,835 --> 00:08:38,716
Come on, Jerry.
175
00:09:01,271 --> 00:09:02,964
Here we go.
176
00:09:04,342 --> 00:09:05,252
What's that?
177
00:09:05,287 --> 00:09:07,696
The remains of Daniel Post.
178
00:09:07,731 --> 00:09:10,417
Okay, he wasn't a large man, but he was taller than that.
179
00:09:10,452 --> 00:09:11,792
Oh, I'm sorry.
180
00:09:11,827 --> 00:09:13,569
Mr. Post donated his body parts
181
00:09:13,604 --> 00:09:16,109
to either research science or organ transplant facilities.
182
00:09:16,144 --> 00:09:19,197
All that remains is a foot.
183
00:09:19,330 --> 00:09:20,291
A foot?
184
00:09:20,326 --> 00:09:22,006
Just the one?
185
00:09:22,007 --> 00:09:23,739
Yes.
186
00:09:28,877 --> 00:09:32,892
Well, we're here.
187
00:09:33,194 --> 00:09:34,713
Yes?
188
00:09:34,748 --> 00:09:36,233
Please.
189
00:09:42,849 --> 00:09:45,190
He looks so peaceful.
190
00:09:45,225 --> 00:09:47,531
That's not Daniel Post.
191
00:09:47,566 --> 00:09:48,388
I beg your pardon?
192
00:09:48,423 --> 00:09:51,468
Daniel Post was 5'7", white and a size 8 max.
193
00:09:51,503 --> 00:09:54,012
That is a black foot, and it is the size of a small boat.
194
00:09:54,047 --> 00:09:55,457
Well, there must be some mistake.
195
00:09:55,492 --> 00:09:57,535
Yes, a big one, and you made it.
196
00:09:57,570 --> 00:09:59,578
That is an african-american foot.
197
00:09:59,613 --> 00:10:01,946
It looks darker in the box. If we see it in the light...
198
00:10:01,981 --> 00:10:03,668
No, no, I don't need to see it in the...
199
00:10:03,703 --> 00:10:05,208
where is Daniel Post?
200
00:10:05,243 --> 00:10:06,714
Is everything all right?
201
00:10:06,749 --> 00:10:10,342
No. No, everything is not all right. For god's sakes...
202
00:10:10,599 --> 00:10:13,330
Please, could you find my friend something lighter,
203
00:10:13,365 --> 00:10:16,629
possibly in a size eight?
204
00:10:25,638 --> 00:10:27,311
A big foot?
205
00:10:27,346 --> 00:10:29,621
She's meeting with the facility manager in an hour.
206
00:10:29,656 --> 00:10:31,342
I'd have stayed, but I'm in court with Jerry.
207
00:10:31,377 --> 00:10:33,537
Give me the address. I'll go.
208
00:10:33,572 --> 00:10:35,439
Brad, how are we doing with Lincoln Meyer?
209
00:10:35,474 --> 00:10:37,922
I have a motion to dismiss marked up for this afternoon.
210
00:10:37,957 --> 00:10:40,371
In the meantime, he's noticed a depo for judge Hooper.
211
00:10:40,406 --> 00:10:41,489
Oh, great.
212
00:10:41,524 --> 00:10:44,359
And who's representing this charming man?
213
00:10:44,394 --> 00:10:46,433
That's the most fun part of all.
214
00:10:46,468 --> 00:10:49,599
I'm representing myself, Shirley, like Gideon.
215
00:10:49,634 --> 00:10:52,339
I hope you'll all join me for judge Hooper's deposition.
216
00:10:52,374 --> 00:10:54,465
Refreshments will, of course, be served.
217
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:58,687
Oh, it's all too delicious for words, don't you think?
218
00:11:02,029 --> 00:11:03,994
I've got a caterer coming in 20 minutes,
219
00:11:04,029 --> 00:11:07,144
so I want the conference room clean and I mean...
220
00:11:07,343 --> 00:11:11,863
Mr. Jones, would you please explain what a death-qualified jury is?
221
00:11:11,898 --> 00:11:13,075
During voir dire,
222
00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:15,383
jurors are asked the so-called Witherspoon questions,
223
00:11:15,418 --> 00:11:16,900
named for the supreme court decision
224
00:11:16,935 --> 00:11:20,159
that determined the process for jury selection in a capital case.
225
00:11:20,194 --> 00:11:21,331
According to Witherspoon,
226
00:11:21,366 --> 00:11:25,232
jurors who simply have a general objection to the death penalty cannot be kept off,
227
00:11:25,267 --> 00:11:27,453
but anyone who would always voted against the death penalty
228
00:11:27,488 --> 00:11:29,416
under any circumstances can be.
229
00:11:29,451 --> 00:11:31,217
And Mr. Espenson was on this jury?
230
00:11:31,252 --> 00:11:31,867
Yes.
231
00:11:31,868 --> 00:11:33,247
He declared in his questionnaire
232
00:11:33,282 --> 00:11:36,834
that he had no objection to the death penalty under any circumstances.
233
00:11:36,869 --> 00:11:39,285
We learned later that this was a lie.
234
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,227
I'm curious,
235
00:11:40,262 --> 00:11:42,817
when you're trying someone accused of larceny,
236
00:11:42,852 --> 00:11:46,293
do you ask potential jurors if they oppose jail time?
237
00:11:46,328 --> 00:11:47,061
No.
238
00:11:47,096 --> 00:11:49,924
Do you ask them if they oppose fines or community service
239
00:11:49,959 --> 00:11:51,555
or giving the victim restution?
240
00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:51,935
No.
241
00:11:51,936 --> 00:11:55,675
So there is no such thing as a jail-qualified jury
242
00:11:55,710 --> 00:11:57,942
or a fine-him-$1,000-qualified jury,
243
00:11:57,977 --> 00:12:01,509
a make-him-pick-up-trash-on-the-highway-qualified jury?
244
00:12:01,544 --> 00:12:02,277
No, there's not.
245
00:12:02,312 --> 00:12:05,026
And yet there is a death-qualified jury.
246
00:12:05,061 --> 00:12:06,529
I wonder why that is.
247
00:12:06,564 --> 00:12:09,758
Could it be that a jury made up of people favoring the death penalty
248
00:12:09,793 --> 00:12:12,057
is more prone to convict in the first place?
249
00:12:12,092 --> 00:12:13,393
There's no evidence of that.
250
00:12:13,428 --> 00:12:15,840
Come on. I have many prosecutor friends.
251
00:12:15,875 --> 00:12:18,458
They tell me once you have your death-qualified jury,
252
00:12:18,493 --> 00:12:19,585
your work is pretty much done.
253
00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:20,643
- Objection.
- Sustained.
254
00:12:20,678 --> 00:12:23,560
If you have 12 people who you know are ready to kill somebody,
255
00:12:23,595 --> 00:12:26,443
I bet that "presumed innocent" idea is far less problematic.
256
00:12:26,478 --> 00:12:28,348
- Objection.
- Sustained.
257
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,059
Uh, it seems that, um...
258
00:12:34,094 --> 00:12:38,925
none of, uh, Daniel, uh, ended up where...
259
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,371
I assure you, we're investigating.
260
00:12:41,406 --> 00:12:43,782
What do you mean, none of him?
261
00:12:43,817 --> 00:12:47,456
Mr. Post's cadaver has apparently been stolen.
262
00:12:47,491 --> 00:12:51,675
We suspect his parts have found their way into the black market.
263
00:12:51,710 --> 00:12:52,791
The black market?
264
00:12:52,826 --> 00:12:55,668
The very place Daniel did his shopping.
265
00:12:55,703 --> 00:12:57,232
Sorry.
266
00:12:57,267 --> 00:13:01,476
We think we have a lead as to who stole him.
267
00:13:07,014 --> 00:13:08,127
Your mother?
268
00:13:08,162 --> 00:13:11,072
Yes. It seems we're getting serious.
269
00:13:11,107 --> 00:13:12,453
I want you to meet her.
270
00:13:12,488 --> 00:13:13,765
I'm not good with mothers.
271
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,565
You'll make the effort with mine.
272
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,653
Is she a little person?
273
00:13:17,688 --> 00:13:19,047
Does that matter?
274
00:13:19,082 --> 00:13:22,301
Of course not. You know how I love them so.
275
00:13:22,336 --> 00:13:23,487
Bethany...
276
00:13:23,522 --> 00:13:27,779
I'm not the kind of guy that girls take home to their mother.
277
00:13:27,814 --> 00:13:29,556
I tend to...
278
00:13:29,591 --> 00:13:32,585
you know, hit on them.
279
00:13:33,161 --> 00:13:35,179
You'll meet my mother, Denny,
280
00:13:35,214 --> 00:13:39,158
you'll be nice to her and dignified.
281
00:13:40,402 --> 00:13:43,768
Did your wife ever say to you that I was a pedophile?
282
00:13:43,803 --> 00:13:44,534
No.
283
00:13:44,569 --> 00:13:48,041
Did she ever indicate that she believed me to be a pedophile?
284
00:13:48,076 --> 00:13:49,782
No.
285
00:13:50,441 --> 00:13:54,608
Do you find it odd that your beautiful wife, may she rest in peace,
286
00:13:54,643 --> 00:14:00,259
would tell Scott Little that she thought I was a pedophile and never say that to you?
287
00:14:00,294 --> 00:14:03,406
My suspicion is she never said that to Scott Little.
288
00:14:03,441 --> 00:14:04,522
Just a theory,
289
00:14:04,557 --> 00:14:08,320
but my bet is his lawyers convinced him to drop the pedophile tag
290
00:14:08,355 --> 00:14:11,853
to better set you up as a red herring as my wife's killer.
291
00:14:11,888 --> 00:14:15,316
Did you ever say anything to these despicable lawyer people
292
00:14:15,351 --> 00:14:19,271
that could lead them to think I killed your wife, god rest her soul?
293
00:14:19,306 --> 00:14:21,811
There's nothing I told them in support of their theory
294
00:14:21,846 --> 00:14:24,219
that you were the killer.
295
00:14:26,929 --> 00:14:28,441
Well, that seemed worthless.
296
00:14:28,476 --> 00:14:29,744
Maybe.
297
00:14:29,745 --> 00:14:32,914
What basis did you have for suggesting him as the killer?
298
00:14:32,949 --> 00:14:34,223
- What basis?
- Yes.
299
00:14:34,258 --> 00:14:36,717
She got a restraining order against him. He's certifiable.
300
00:14:36,752 --> 00:14:40,936
Was there evidence at all that he could have done it or that he was a pedophile?
301
00:14:40,971 --> 00:14:42,879
You representing him or me in this, Brad?
302
00:14:42,914 --> 00:14:44,477
I'm just asking you the questions
303
00:14:44,512 --> 00:14:47,376
that he'll be asking you if this ever goes to trial, Jeff.
304
00:14:47,411 --> 00:14:50,240
This goes to trial, one of us is a pretty terrible lawyer.
305
00:14:50,275 --> 00:14:52,708
Our only defense is civil disobedience, Jerry,
306
00:14:52,743 --> 00:14:55,595
and it's not a particularly legal one at that.
307
00:14:55,630 --> 00:14:58,413
You need to be sincere up there, and passionate.
308
00:14:58,448 --> 00:15:02,870
Melissa, I wrote a memorandum on civil disobedience last year.
309
00:15:02,905 --> 00:15:04,917
I need... what's happening here?
310
00:15:04,952 --> 00:15:06,932
I've been reassigned to a different lawyer, Alan.
311
00:15:06,967 --> 00:15:08,656
I'm no longer your assistant.
312
00:15:08,691 --> 00:15:10,310
What are you talking about?
313
00:15:10,345 --> 00:15:13,408
I'll still be at the firm. I've just been reassigned.
314
00:15:13,443 --> 00:15:15,745
Reassigned to whom?
315
00:15:15,780 --> 00:15:18,429
Jeffrey Coho.
316
00:15:19,337 --> 00:15:20,988
Melissa, what's going on?
317
00:15:21,023 --> 00:15:22,604
What's going on, Alan,
318
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:26,052
is I'm not comfortable discovering you in closets photography buffing
319
00:15:26,087 --> 00:15:29,431
or walking into your office finding some sex doctor measuring your pants
320
00:15:29,466 --> 00:15:35,208
or smelling the waft of maple syrup after you've tried cases against old girlfriends.
321
00:15:35,243 --> 00:15:38,647
What's going on is I've had enough.
322
00:15:38,682 --> 00:15:39,880
I see.
323
00:15:39,915 --> 00:15:44,005
And how did you happen to end up with this Jeffrey Coho?
324
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,931
Oh. We clicked.
325
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,470
This is where a crisp, little squeal works particularly well for me.
326
00:16:06,555 --> 00:16:08,392
- Ms. Bauer.
- Yeah?
327
00:16:08,427 --> 00:16:12,682
I am pleased to report we have recovered Mr. Post.
328
00:16:12,717 --> 00:16:14,229
- Really?
- Not all of him,
329
00:16:14,264 --> 00:16:16,504
but, uh, you know, if you'd like to pay your respects.
330
00:16:16,539 --> 00:16:18,185
Um...
331
00:16:18,220 --> 00:16:19,242
what have you got?
332
00:16:19,277 --> 00:16:22,972
Wll, uh, so far, and the search is by no means complete, of course,
333
00:16:23,007 --> 00:16:26,955
but, uh, so far, we, we have his, uh, spleen.
334
00:16:26,990 --> 00:16:29,024
That's it, his spleen?
335
00:16:29,059 --> 00:16:29,908
Yeah.
336
00:16:29,943 --> 00:16:32,253
But we're positive it's him.
337
00:16:38,706 --> 00:16:42,476
More than half of the world's countries have outlawed capital punishment.
338
00:16:42,511 --> 00:16:46,191
Virtually all of the industrialized democracies have eliminated it.
339
00:16:46,226 --> 00:16:48,756
The five countries that execute the most people are,
340
00:16:48,791 --> 00:16:51,771
in order, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia,
341
00:16:51,806 --> 00:16:54,695
the United states and Pakistan.
342
00:16:54,730 --> 00:16:56,645
Is that the company we want to keep?
343
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,215
So to be clear,
344
00:16:58,250 --> 00:17:00,924
you are completely opposed to the death penalty.
345
00:17:00,959 --> 00:17:01,531
I am.
346
00:17:01,532 --> 00:17:05,158
And yet, when you were given the juror questionnaire to fill out,
347
00:17:05,193 --> 00:17:06,383
you said you weren't.
348
00:17:06,418 --> 00:17:07,472
Yes.
349
00:17:07,507 --> 00:17:08,430
Why, Jerry?
350
00:17:08,465 --> 00:17:10,644
Because I know how the system works.
351
00:17:10,679 --> 00:17:14,010
If you admit you oppose capital punishment,
352
00:17:14,045 --> 00:17:15,653
they keep you off the jury,
353
00:17:15,688 --> 00:17:18,413
having only pro-death penalty people on the jury
354
00:17:18,448 --> 00:17:20,706
is completely unfair to the defendant,
355
00:17:20,741 --> 00:17:23,187
which is why I committed an act of civil disobedience,
356
00:17:23,222 --> 00:17:27,971
to call attention to the gross unfairness of my sexual surrogate.
357
00:17:28,306 --> 00:17:31,554
I mean the jury selection process!
358
00:17:41,416 --> 00:17:44,437
Oh, it just came out.
359
00:17:47,823 --> 00:17:49,674
Jerry...
360
00:17:50,084 --> 00:17:55,104
I know you know that perjury in federal court is serious.
361
00:17:55,139 --> 00:17:58,863
What I'm not sure you appreciate...
362
00:17:58,898 --> 00:18:02,553
this case you were a juror on...
363
00:18:02,588 --> 00:18:06,383
it was of enormous importance to the government.
364
00:18:06,418 --> 00:18:10,710
It was an opportunity to bring the death penalty to a state that doesn't have it.
365
00:18:10,745 --> 00:18:13,912
As as far as they're concerned...
366
00:18:13,947 --> 00:18:17,922
you ruined some...
367
00:18:17,957 --> 00:18:21,863
very big plans.
368
00:18:21,898 --> 00:18:27,578
This sounds like a preamble to a very bad prognosis.
369
00:18:27,613 --> 00:18:31,987
I've talked to Denny, Shirley, Paul Lewiston.
370
00:18:32,022 --> 00:18:37,992
I've had a lot of people trying to pull strings behind the scenes.
371
00:18:38,027 --> 00:18:41,100
This case is not going away.
372
00:18:42,678 --> 00:18:45,737
But I expect that...
373
00:18:46,828 --> 00:18:49,708
you are.
374
00:18:50,987 --> 00:18:52,734
We have no defense, Jerry.
375
00:18:52,769 --> 00:18:57,946
You flat-out committed perjury.
376
00:19:06,873 --> 00:19:08,668
Okay.
377
00:19:11,370 --> 00:19:14,551
Can I say good-bye to my mother?
378
00:19:14,586 --> 00:19:17,733
You're not going away this minute.
379
00:19:17,982 --> 00:19:21,469
I'll give the closing and...
380
00:19:21,504 --> 00:19:26,580
I guess, beg the jury to ignore the law.
381
00:19:26,615 --> 00:19:28,399
And...
382
00:19:30,888 --> 00:19:32,975
we'll see.
383
00:19:44,019 --> 00:19:47,008
Do not tuck your napkin into your collar.
384
00:19:47,043 --> 00:19:48,548
I will be mortified.
385
00:19:48,583 --> 00:19:50,018
Do not smoke your cigar.
386
00:19:50,053 --> 00:19:55,705
Do not make any Clintonian jokes as to where the cigar has been.
387
00:19:55,740 --> 00:19:56,769
What can I do?
388
00:19:56,804 --> 00:19:59,785
Just be nice and get through it.
389
00:20:00,070 --> 00:20:01,745
You seem on edge.
390
00:20:01,780 --> 00:20:05,537
Of course I'm on edge. It's my mother.
391
00:20:05,572 --> 00:20:07,637
Oh, god, and here she comes.
392
00:20:07,672 --> 00:20:09,653
Hi, honey.
393
00:20:10,354 --> 00:20:12,137
Sorry I'm late.
394
00:20:12,172 --> 00:20:13,921
Hi. Bella...
395
00:20:15,796 --> 00:20:17,826
Bella.
396
00:20:18,685 --> 00:20:19,839
Denny?
397
00:20:19,874 --> 00:20:22,714
You two know each other?
398
00:20:24,836 --> 00:20:28,559
You're dating Denny Crane. Why didn't you tell me?
399
00:20:28,594 --> 00:20:31,227
I wanted it to be a surprise.
400
00:20:31,262 --> 00:20:33,017
What's going on?
401
00:20:33,052 --> 00:20:37,202
Well, Denny and I were once...
402
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:39,630
Engaged.
403
00:20:41,353 --> 00:20:43,458
Surprise.
404
00:20:48,719 --> 00:20:50,430
He had no alibi the night of the murder.
405
00:20:50,465 --> 00:20:52,711
Fresh flowers from his garden were found on her nightstand.
406
00:20:52,746 --> 00:20:54,707
It would have been legal malpractice for Jeffrey Coho
407
00:20:54,742 --> 00:20:58,731
not to focus the jury on Lincoln Meyer as a possible suspect.
408
00:20:58,766 --> 00:21:00,339
Mr. Meyer.
409
00:21:00,374 --> 00:21:01,912
Well...
410
00:21:02,050 --> 00:21:04,148
he implied I was a pedophile,
411
00:21:04,183 --> 00:21:06,706
a freak who should be registered as a sex offender
412
00:21:06,741 --> 00:21:08,703
when I have committed no such offense.
413
00:21:08,738 --> 00:21:11,340
And even if I had, which I most certainly have not,
414
00:21:11,375 --> 00:21:14,576
to suggest that I'm a killer, a murderer?
415
00:21:14,611 --> 00:21:17,427
That Gracie Jane woman reported it in front of millions of people,
416
00:21:17,462 --> 00:21:19,113
and I was damaged.
417
00:21:19,148 --> 00:21:21,952
What about this peeping Tom crap?
418
00:21:21,987 --> 00:21:24,757
I am an open and notorious peepy.
419
00:21:24,792 --> 00:21:27,032
Why, when I would send her flowers, I used to write,
420
00:21:27,067 --> 00:21:29,506
"with love from your little peepy".
421
00:21:29,541 --> 00:21:32,047
And she liked having a peepy, and even if she didn't,
422
00:21:32,082 --> 00:21:36,325
it doesn't give these lawyer people a right to aver that I'm a killer.
423
00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:40,450
I mean, look at me, judge, I'm damaged.
424
00:21:50,814 --> 00:21:52,709
That, that's a spleen?
425
00:21:52,744 --> 00:21:54,605
Are you sure it's him?
426
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,529
Positive.
427
00:21:55,564 --> 00:21:58,198
We did a tissue match.
428
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,561
I'll give you a moment alone.
429
00:22:11,715 --> 00:22:13,811
I can't get closure with a spleen. This is not working.
430
00:22:13,846 --> 00:22:16,619
Look, Denise, I think what you need to do is
431
00:22:16,654 --> 00:22:19,611
go sit somewhere in a quiet place, maybe a church,
432
00:22:19,646 --> 00:22:23,448
and grieve for the man you loved.
433
00:22:23,670 --> 00:22:25,185
More good news.
434
00:22:25,220 --> 00:22:26,857
The FBI made an arrest.
435
00:22:26,892 --> 00:22:30,261
Harold Pines, he's been arrested before for the commercialization of body parts.
436
00:22:30,296 --> 00:22:31,839
He's in custody. What's more,
437
00:22:31,874 --> 00:22:36,907
the very lead that led to his arrest has also led to the recovery of most of your fiance.
438
00:22:36,942 --> 00:22:38,401
He's got a kidney in L.A.,
439
00:22:38,436 --> 00:22:41,505
His liver is on a plane as we speak coming back from Topeka,
440
00:22:41,540 --> 00:22:44,574
his small intestine is waiting to clear customs in Ottawa,
441
00:22:44,609 --> 00:22:47,508
and here in my hands...
442
00:22:48,808 --> 00:22:51,220
his heart.
443
00:22:52,465 --> 00:22:55,522
- That's Daniel's heart?
- It is.
444
00:22:55,557 --> 00:22:57,409
What about his head?
445
00:22:57,444 --> 00:22:59,846
The head is still at large.
446
00:23:05,033 --> 00:23:05,917
Her mother?
447
00:23:05,952 --> 00:23:07,901
It was a hundred years ago. It shouldn't count.
448
00:23:07,936 --> 00:23:10,547
- How did Bethany take it?
- Not well.
449
00:23:10,582 --> 00:23:12,172
She bit me.
450
00:23:12,758 --> 00:23:14,600
Should I flee? Should I move to Canada?
451
00:23:14,635 --> 00:23:16,483
- Jerry...
- I can't take prison, Alan.
452
00:23:16,518 --> 00:23:18,412
It wouldn't be an hospitable place for me.
453
00:23:18,447 --> 00:23:20,271
Jerry, I cannot maintain we'll win this trial,
454
00:23:20,306 --> 00:23:25,492
but I give you my word, I'll do everything I can to keep you out of prison.
455
00:23:30,149 --> 00:23:31,668
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
456
00:23:31,703 --> 00:23:33,045
Brad!
457
00:23:33,565 --> 00:23:35,721
Clerk just called. Judge Potts has his ruling.
458
00:23:35,756 --> 00:23:36,628
Let's go.
459
00:23:36,663 --> 00:23:39,461
I'm informed you and my assistant have "clicked".
460
00:23:39,496 --> 00:23:42,471
I'm sorry. You are again?
461
00:23:43,831 --> 00:23:47,573
I don't like having my assistant poached like a cow or an egg,
462
00:23:47,608 --> 00:23:53,775
and I especially don't like learning that you and she are "clicking" behind my back.
463
00:23:55,145 --> 00:23:57,098
You know...
464
00:23:57,327 --> 00:24:00,673
I'm really not feeling the love here.
465
00:24:10,875 --> 00:24:13,235
Would you, um, give us some privacy?
466
00:24:13,270 --> 00:24:15,595
Sure. I'll be right down the hall.
467
00:24:15,630 --> 00:24:17,435
Thank you.
468
00:24:21,534 --> 00:24:22,789
You a cop?
469
00:24:22,824 --> 00:24:25,886
No, Mr. Pines. I'm a lawyer.
470
00:24:25,921 --> 00:24:28,287
I was engaged to a man named Daniel Post,
471
00:24:28,322 --> 00:24:31,168
whose body was stolen either by you or an accomplice.
472
00:24:31,203 --> 00:24:32,717
Um...
473
00:24:32,752 --> 00:24:33,926
I don't know anything.
474
00:24:33,961 --> 00:24:35,369
That's not true, Mr. Pines.
475
00:24:35,404 --> 00:24:37,944
You've been arrested in the past for commercialization of body parts,
476
00:24:37,979 --> 00:24:40,633
and you run a million-dollar skin harvesting ring.
477
00:24:40,668 --> 00:24:43,432
Look, lady, I'm not gonna talk to you, okay?
478
00:24:43,467 --> 00:24:46,868
I just want to know where his head is.
479
00:24:50,133 --> 00:24:54,979
I need to... say good-bye.
480
00:24:55,014 --> 00:25:03,673
I'm not here looking for evidence so much as for my lover's head.
481
00:25:06,085 --> 00:25:07,843
I'd like to help, okay?
482
00:25:07,878 --> 00:25:11,776
Obviously, I got my own problems.
483
00:25:11,982 --> 00:25:15,716
How about you retain me as counsel?
484
00:25:15,751 --> 00:25:18,068
I'm sorry? / That way anything you say is privileged.
485
00:25:18,103 --> 00:25:20,747
I can't repeat it.
486
00:25:21,228 --> 00:25:23,812
Please.
487
00:25:24,541 --> 00:25:26,994
So you'd be my lawyer?
488
00:25:27,029 --> 00:25:31,813
For the purpose of this discussion, I'm your lawyer.
489
00:25:37,841 --> 00:25:40,546
All right, I don't know for sure, okay?
490
00:25:40,581 --> 00:25:46,781
There's this house in Salem. It's famous in an underground kind of way.
491
00:25:47,403 --> 00:25:50,131
For Halloween, uh...
492
00:25:50,496 --> 00:25:53,779
they like to do it up for real, you know,
493
00:25:53,814 --> 00:25:56,452
like a haunted house.
494
00:25:56,487 --> 00:26:00,092
They like to get themselves some real heads.
495
00:26:00,127 --> 00:26:03,698
Now I don't know if your fiance's there,
496
00:26:03,733 --> 00:26:05,768
but...
497
00:26:10,026 --> 00:26:12,348
If you're against the death penalty,
498
00:26:12,383 --> 00:26:15,114
you can call your congressman, protest in the street,
499
00:26:15,149 --> 00:26:16,788
start a blog, publish a book.
500
00:26:16,823 --> 00:26:20,026
There are countless ways to get your point across.
501
00:26:20,061 --> 00:26:23,443
Committing perjury isn't one of them.
502
00:26:23,478 --> 00:26:26,825
Obstructing justice isn't one of them.
503
00:26:26,860 --> 00:26:28,617
Mr. Espenson lied.
504
00:26:28,652 --> 00:26:30,168
He defrauded the court.
505
00:26:30,203 --> 00:26:33,039
His actions were an insult to that court
506
00:26:33,074 --> 00:26:37,128
as well as everyone who believes in our system of justice.
507
00:26:37,163 --> 00:26:41,162
You are now part of that system.
508
00:26:41,197 --> 00:26:42,870
Do your duty.
509
00:26:42,905 --> 00:26:46,837
Send Mr. Espenson to jail.
510
00:27:02,157 --> 00:27:06,531
Let's forget all about capital punishment for a minute
511
00:27:06,566 --> 00:27:09,092
and look at this another way.
512
00:27:09,127 --> 00:27:13,928
Say a small town is having a community meeting to vote
513
00:27:13,963 --> 00:27:17,039
on whether or not to build a big incinerator.
514
00:27:17,074 --> 00:27:20,046
But before the selectmen let you into the meeting,
515
00:27:20,081 --> 00:27:22,831
they ask you how you feel about incinerators,
516
00:27:22,866 --> 00:27:24,455
and if you're opposed to them,
517
00:27:24,490 --> 00:27:26,971
you don't get to go to the meeting.
518
00:27:27,006 --> 00:27:29,418
Does that seem fair to any of you?
519
00:27:29,453 --> 00:27:34,575
Don't we want all sides represented at a community meeting?
520
00:27:34,610 --> 00:27:37,875
Jury selection is supposed to work the same way.
521
00:27:37,910 --> 00:27:42,532
All of you, in theory, should represent a cross section of the community.
522
00:27:42,567 --> 00:27:46,049
Well, here we are in Massachusetts, a state with no death penalty.
523
00:27:46,084 --> 00:27:48,033
One would assume therefore
524
00:27:48,068 --> 00:27:51,761
that the majority of the community is opposed to capital punishment.
525
00:27:51,796 --> 00:27:55,030
But anyone who holds that view cannot be a juror
526
00:27:55,065 --> 00:27:56,947
in a federal death penalty case.
527
00:27:56,982 --> 00:28:00,397
This isn't just weeding out people with idiosyncratic opinions.
528
00:28:00,432 --> 00:28:02,834
This is weeding out the majority.
529
00:28:02,869 --> 00:28:05,095
It's strategic.
530
00:28:05,130 --> 00:28:07,739
We all know intuitively,
531
00:28:07,774 --> 00:28:13,056
if you start talking about punishment before a trial even begins,
532
00:28:13,091 --> 00:28:18,338
you're putting the idea of guilt in the forefront of everyone's mind.
533
00:28:18,373 --> 00:28:23,421
Yet, presumption of innocence...
534
00:28:23,456 --> 00:28:27,572
is the foundation of our whole justice system.
535
00:28:27,607 --> 00:28:31,229
Without that, we're no better than totalitarian states
536
00:28:31,264 --> 00:28:37,098
who imprison and execute people on the whim of an all-powerful leader.
537
00:28:39,100 --> 00:28:41,804
Jerry Espenson...
538
00:28:47,661 --> 00:28:52,799
Jerry Espenson is my friend.
539
00:28:52,834 --> 00:28:57,023
I care for him dearly.
540
00:28:57,058 --> 00:28:59,215
And...
541
00:28:59,492 --> 00:29:05,109
I know him to be, fundamentally, a law-abiding man
542
00:29:05,144 --> 00:29:09,811
who simply saw an injustice and tried to do something about it.
543
00:29:09,846 --> 00:29:15,275
If he's guilty of anything...
544
00:29:15,310 --> 00:29:21,282
it's of appealing to his sense of fairness.
545
00:29:22,687 --> 00:29:27,711
Now, I suppose...
546
00:29:28,112 --> 00:29:31,269
he's appealing to yours.
547
00:30:06,851 --> 00:30:10,183
Hey, give me a second.
548
00:30:26,885 --> 00:30:28,909
Lincoln.
549
00:30:29,328 --> 00:30:31,234
Hello, Mr. Dirty mouth.
550
00:30:31,269 --> 00:30:35,382
Come to make me an offer of settlement before the judge rules against you?
551
00:30:35,417 --> 00:30:38,048
I'm not surprised.
552
00:30:38,083 --> 00:30:41,337
I've been watching you for a bit, Lincoln...
553
00:30:41,978 --> 00:30:44,106
sitting here.
554
00:30:44,141 --> 00:30:45,372
Really?
555
00:30:45,407 --> 00:30:47,467
Are you a bit of a peepy?
556
00:30:47,502 --> 00:30:50,757
You seemed sad.
557
00:30:50,758 --> 00:30:53,351
You seemed...
558
00:30:54,064 --> 00:30:56,720
alone, I guess.
559
00:30:56,755 --> 00:30:58,732
Did I?
560
00:30:59,516 --> 00:31:02,401
You must have misread me.
561
00:31:04,775 --> 00:31:07,192
What's going on, Lincoln?
562
00:31:07,227 --> 00:31:10,616
This lawsuit, what are you doing?
563
00:31:10,988 --> 00:31:14,529
Is this just about attention?
564
00:31:15,922 --> 00:31:20,197
You don't think I have feelings.
565
00:31:20,232 --> 00:31:25,139
Those things you said about me in court...
566
00:31:25,725 --> 00:31:30,575
I have feelings, Mr. Coho.
567
00:31:31,522 --> 00:31:33,850
I'm sorry.
568
00:31:34,251 --> 00:31:39,512
I was just doing whatever I could to defend my client.
569
00:31:39,836 --> 00:31:42,721
It wasn't personal.
570
00:31:44,037 --> 00:31:47,888
It was very personal.
571
00:31:52,344 --> 00:31:54,464
President Bush is back in the White house today
572
00:31:54,499 --> 00:31:58,173
after a 21/2-week vacation at his ranch in Crawford, Texas.
573
00:31:58,208 --> 00:32:02,845
The president travelled via Air force one arriving in Washington early this morning.
574
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,496
The president has a full schedule in the coming days.
575
00:32:07,908 --> 00:32:11,779
I used to tell her about the great Denny Crane.
576
00:32:11,814 --> 00:32:15,895
It's one reason, I think, she ended up going to law school.
577
00:32:16,070 --> 00:32:20,297
She had no idea that I used to sleep with you.
578
00:32:20,332 --> 00:32:24,524
Just as I had no idea that you now sleep with...
579
00:32:25,611 --> 00:32:27,053
How is she?
580
00:32:27,088 --> 00:32:29,976
I can't get her to talk to me.
581
00:32:30,903 --> 00:32:33,252
She's pretty upset.
582
00:32:34,205 --> 00:32:36,439
She bite you?
583
00:32:36,902 --> 00:32:40,568
She bites. I know this.
584
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,710
I don't want you to see my daughter anymore, Denny.
585
00:32:44,745 --> 00:32:46,877
Come on, Bella.
586
00:32:47,095 --> 00:32:51,931
I can't see someone because she turns out to be your daughter?
587
00:32:52,195 --> 00:32:56,579
See, it also turns out she's yours.
588
00:33:02,826 --> 00:33:04,007
Is she sure?
589
00:33:04,042 --> 00:33:07,641
No. We're gonna have to have a paternity test.
590
00:33:07,676 --> 00:33:10,538
Can two full-size people have a midget?
591
00:33:10,573 --> 00:33:12,376
Does Bethany know?
592
00:33:12,411 --> 00:33:13,400
I don't know.
593
00:33:13,401 --> 00:33:18,188
God, it's one thing to date a dwarf, but to have fathered one...
594
00:33:18,223 --> 00:33:20,410
Denny, I bet Bethany does know.
595
00:33:20,445 --> 00:33:22,192
Why?
596
00:33:23,769 --> 00:33:26,029
Oh, god.
597
00:33:26,064 --> 00:33:28,289
Afraid so.
598
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,137
Hi, honey.
599
00:33:31,730 --> 00:33:33,671
Who's your daddy?
600
00:33:37,166 --> 00:33:40,475
Statements made by lawyers in court are immune from defamation liability.
601
00:33:40,510 --> 00:33:42,429
This is a longstanding exception.
602
00:33:42,464 --> 00:33:44,810
Statements made outside of court, however,
603
00:33:44,845 --> 00:33:46,723
are afforded no such protection.
604
00:33:46,758 --> 00:33:49,812
Mr. Coho, you repeated these things to the press.
605
00:33:49,847 --> 00:33:52,186
You enjoy no privilege there.
606
00:33:52,221 --> 00:33:54,485
However, again,
607
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,882
it is my view you were only commenting to the media
608
00:33:56,917 --> 00:33:59,745
on matters that occurred inside the courtroom.
609
00:33:59,780 --> 00:34:03,497
And because the privilege does extend to that situation,
610
00:34:03,532 --> 00:34:07,215
I'm going to grant the defendant's motion to dismiss.
611
00:34:08,575 --> 00:34:10,023
And, Mr. Meyer,
612
00:34:10,058 --> 00:34:12,116
before you decide to go sue anybody else,
613
00:34:12,151 --> 00:34:17,752
you might consider that truth is also a defense to defamation.
614
00:34:18,099 --> 00:34:23,002
For my money, you appear to be a seriously disturbed man.
615
00:34:23,995 --> 00:34:26,087
This court is adjourned.
616
00:34:43,193 --> 00:34:44,856
Boo.
617
00:34:46,296 --> 00:34:47,534
That's perfect.
618
00:34:47,569 --> 00:34:50,648
I have to go to Salem later today. Maybe you should come with me.
619
00:34:50,683 --> 00:34:53,029
What's in Salem?
620
00:34:53,064 --> 00:34:55,376
Possibly, um...
621
00:34:55,411 --> 00:34:57,801
Daniel's head.
622
00:34:58,229 --> 00:35:03,676
In some ghoulish haunted house. Evidently they, uh...
623
00:35:03,711 --> 00:35:05,835
they use real cadavers.
624
00:35:05,870 --> 00:35:09,316
Daniel's head is in a haunted house?
625
00:35:09,351 --> 00:35:11,950
Maybe.
626
00:35:14,599 --> 00:35:17,444
You have plans later?
627
00:35:30,565 --> 00:35:32,635
Don't ask, okay?
628
00:35:32,670 --> 00:35:34,950
The defendant will please rise.
629
00:35:35,591 --> 00:35:39,008
Madam Foreperson, the jury has reached a unanimous verdict?
630
00:35:39,043 --> 00:35:40,604
- We have, your honor.
- What say you?
631
00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:43,715
"In the matter of the United states vs. Jerald Espenson"
632
00:35:43,750 --> 00:35:45,075
"on one count of perjury,"
633
00:35:45,110 --> 00:35:49,425
"we the jury find the defendant Jerald Espenson"
634
00:35:49,460 --> 00:35:50,731
"not guilty".
635
00:35:50,766 --> 00:35:52,320
What?
636
00:35:53,580 --> 00:35:56,832
Members of the jury, this concludes your jury service.
637
00:35:56,867 --> 00:35:59,792
You are dismissed. This court stands adjourned.
638
00:35:59,827 --> 00:36:02,081
Oh, thank you! Thank you!
639
00:36:02,116 --> 00:36:04,335
Thank you! Thank you!
640
00:36:43,425 --> 00:36:44,811
You won.
641
00:36:44,846 --> 00:36:47,054
Don't ask me how. The jury must have just...
642
00:36:47,089 --> 00:36:49,347
Ignored the law like total commies.
643
00:36:49,382 --> 00:36:50,352
Exactly.
644
00:36:50,387 --> 00:36:52,589
Maybe they had reservations about the death penalty in general.
645
00:36:52,624 --> 00:36:55,272
See, that's why we're perceived as soft on terror.
646
00:36:55,307 --> 00:36:57,924
We can't even kill our own people.
647
00:36:57,959 --> 00:36:59,618
Where's your daughter?
648
00:36:59,653 --> 00:37:02,111
The paternity test is still pending.
649
00:37:02,146 --> 00:37:04,569
- Who's your daughter?
- Never mind.
650
00:37:04,604 --> 00:37:07,185
My stomach feels bloated.
651
00:37:07,220 --> 00:37:09,819
I hope I'm not getting my period.
652
00:37:16,213 --> 00:37:17,807
What?
653
00:37:18,544 --> 00:37:22,531
Sally is gone. Melissa is gone.
654
00:37:25,645 --> 00:37:27,960
Forget it, horny toad.
655
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,181
Oh, brother.
656
00:37:51,928 --> 00:37:55,781
This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever done in my life.
657
00:37:55,816 --> 00:37:57,773
Let's go in here.
658
00:38:10,854 --> 00:38:12,261
What was that?
659
00:38:13,270 --> 00:38:15,981
What kind of cult gets off on something like this?
660
00:38:16,016 --> 00:38:17,810
I don't know.
661
00:38:18,174 --> 00:38:19,576
You suppose that's real?
662
00:38:19,611 --> 00:38:20,777
I don't know.
663
00:38:20,778 --> 00:38:23,312
Why aren't we letting the police do this?
664
00:38:23,347 --> 00:38:25,704
Uh, because...
665
00:38:25,899 --> 00:38:28,519
because it's privileged.
666
00:38:37,983 --> 00:38:40,132
Denise, none of them look like Daniel.
667
00:38:40,167 --> 00:38:42,430
There's gotta be a better way to get closure than this.
668
00:38:42,465 --> 00:38:44,659
Well, we're here now, so let's just get through it.
669
00:38:44,694 --> 00:38:48,948
Shouldn't you be grieving for this man instead of out looking for his head?
670
00:38:54,471 --> 00:38:57,900
Oh, I thought for a minute it was him.
671
00:39:03,023 --> 00:39:04,693
- Oh, my...
- What?
672
00:39:04,728 --> 00:39:05,894
No, I...
673
00:39:05,929 --> 00:39:08,649
- What?
- Nothing. I just, for a second, in that box,
674
00:39:08,684 --> 00:39:12,127
I thought I saw a head that resembled Da...
675
00:39:12,162 --> 00:39:15,448
just my imagination.
676
00:39:17,815 --> 00:39:19,608
Oh, my god.
677
00:39:59,895 --> 00:40:04,533
Oops. I didn't see you there, judge.
678
00:40:11,343 --> 00:40:15,879
I have long fantasized getting in one of the Lennon Sisters' dresses.
679
00:40:15,914 --> 00:40:17,715
Me, too.
680
00:40:19,502 --> 00:40:23,266
Ever wonder how you'd be as a woman, Denny?
681
00:40:23,551 --> 00:40:25,837
I'd be a lesbian.
682
00:40:26,161 --> 00:40:27,987
Yes.
683
00:40:29,009 --> 00:40:32,169
You think we'd look at the world differently?
684
00:40:32,204 --> 00:40:34,362
I mean, it is a man's world still.
685
00:40:34,397 --> 00:40:39,194
I would imagine at a minimum, we'd be more vulnerable.
686
00:40:39,229 --> 00:40:40,544
And physically.
687
00:40:40,579 --> 00:40:43,562
We'd have our own breasts to fondle.
688
00:40:45,797 --> 00:40:48,556
I bet you'd feel differently about capital punishment.
689
00:40:48,591 --> 00:40:49,414
Why?
690
00:40:49,449 --> 00:40:53,025
Denny, you get emotional over the odd bowel movement.
691
00:40:53,060 --> 00:40:54,838
Suppose you gave birth?
692
00:40:54,873 --> 00:41:01,708
I would think your appreciation for human life...
693
00:41:02,218 --> 00:41:10,871
Franz Kafka said the meaning of life is that it ends.
694
00:41:10,906 --> 00:41:14,666
One day you're here, and the next...
695
00:41:20,612 --> 00:41:22,866
To Daniel Post.
696
00:41:23,382 --> 00:41:25,016
My loss.
697
00:41:25,051 --> 00:41:27,630
I didn't know you even knew him.
698
00:41:28,442 --> 00:41:30,721
I didn't.
699
00:41:32,323 --> 00:41:36,091
And from what I gather, my loss.
700
00:41:49,942 --> 00:41:51,817
You're not getting in this dress.
