00:00:02,693 --> 00:00:04,843
I'm just trying to get an erection.

3
00:00:05,013 --> 00:00:06,731
Who knows? Maybe it's the mad cow.

4
00:00:06,893 --> 00:00:08,645
My penis has Alzheimer's.

5
00:00:08,813 --> 00:00:10,963
- Phoebe.
- Alan.

6
00:00:11,133 --> 00:00:13,886
Why drag this out beyond a time
we're still attracted?

7
00:00:14,053 --> 00:00:17,363
- I'm not attracted to you now.
- Fine. Let's go with that.

8
00:00:17,533 --> 00:00:18,648
Phoebe.
- What happened?

9
00:00:18,813 --> 00:00:20,849
- I was in love with her.
- That'll kill the moment.

10
00:00:21,013 --> 00:00:23,925
And she loved me, just...

11
00:00:24,093 --> 00:00:25,970
...not enough.
- Maybe it's not too late.

12
00:00:26,133 --> 00:00:27,805
She's happily married with children.

14
00:01:04,293 --> 00:01:05,282
What are you doing?

15
00:01:05,453 --> 00:01:07,330
- I got scared.
- Of what?

16
00:01:07,493 --> 00:01:09,245
- I heard banging.
- What banging?

17
00:01:10,613 --> 00:01:13,764
- That banging.
- That's a knock. Answer it.

18
00:01:13,933 --> 00:01:15,605
- Me?
- You heard it.

19
00:01:15,773 --> 00:01:17,092
You live here.

20
00:01:20,093 --> 00:01:22,209
Never mind. We'll both answer it.

21
00:01:39,653 --> 00:01:42,486
- Phoebe.
- Can I talk to you, Alan? It's important.

22
00:01:43,453 --> 00:01:46,206
- What's going on?
- The police just arrested my husband.

23
00:01:46,373 --> 00:01:49,171
They showed up in the middle of
the night. I tried to call...

24
00:01:49,333 --> 00:01:51,324
...but I guess your phones
are turned off.

25
00:01:51,493 --> 00:01:53,961
- Arrested him for what?
- Murder.

26
00:01:54,813 --> 00:01:56,087
- Murder?
- Murder?

27
00:01:56,253 --> 00:01:59,325
You're the best lawyer that I know.
So will you help?

28
00:01:59,493 --> 00:02:02,246
- Who is he accused of killing?
- One of his nurses.

29
00:02:02,893 --> 00:02:06,329
I'm sorry, Alan,
but this is my family here.

30
00:02:06,493 --> 00:02:08,085
I need you.

31
00:02:09,413 --> 00:02:10,926
This is gonna be a good one.

32
00:02:41,253 --> 00:02:44,768
- So he's in custody now?
- Yeah. They're arraigning him first up.

33
00:02:44,933 --> 00:02:47,845
It's my opinion
they purposely arrested him at night.

34
00:02:48,013 --> 00:02:50,481
The district attorney involved
loves gamesmanship...

35
00:02:50,653 --> 00:02:52,689
...so you'll have your work
cut out for you.

36
00:02:57,973 --> 00:03:01,124
- Can we talk about the case itself?
- Well, my husband...

37
00:03:01,293 --> 00:03:04,205
...is one of the leading cardiologists
at Boston General.

38
00:03:04,373 --> 00:03:05,408
Oh, isn't he special?

39
00:03:07,453 --> 00:03:09,011
Sorry.

40
00:03:09,533 --> 00:03:14,163
The victim is one of his former nurses.
She was found poisoned to death.

41
00:03:14,333 --> 00:03:17,086
They claim that he was
having an affair with her. He wasn't.

42
00:03:17,253 --> 00:03:21,246
He had briefly in the past,
but it was long over.

43
00:03:24,533 --> 00:03:28,208
I'm sorry. Can you excuse us
for a second? I'll be right back. Denny?

44
00:03:28,933 --> 00:03:30,889
- What the hell is that?
- What?

45
00:03:31,053 --> 00:03:33,521
- The rooster.
- I don't know what you're talking about.

46
00:03:33,693 --> 00:03:36,002
Denny, it's coming from you.
What the hell is it?

47
00:03:36,173 --> 00:03:37,447
Well...

48
00:03:38,173 --> 00:03:41,404
You remember
that little blood-flow issue I had?

49
00:03:41,933 --> 00:03:43,332
- Yeah?
- The doctor...

50
00:03:43,493 --> 00:03:46,291
...hooked me up to a monitor.
I'm supposed to keep a journal.

51
00:03:46,453 --> 00:03:49,843
Any kind of blood flow,
I'm supposed to make a note.

52
00:03:50,813 --> 00:03:51,962
- A monitor?
- Yeah.

53
00:03:52,133 --> 00:03:53,930
- Connected to...?
- Shh. Yeah.

54
00:03:54,093 --> 00:03:57,324
- One that sounds like a rooster?
- That's my ring tone. You can choose.

55
00:03:57,493 --> 00:04:00,803
- Look, obviously this is a serious case.
- That's why the doctor wanted...

56
00:04:00,973 --> 00:04:02,964
I'm talking about the murder.

57
00:04:03,733 --> 00:04:06,964
I do not wanna be hearing from
that thing. Are you listening to me?

58
00:04:07,133 --> 00:04:08,248
I'll put it on vibrate.

59
00:04:12,453 --> 00:04:13,568
Sorry.

60
00:04:13,733 --> 00:04:16,850
So the arraignment's
tomorrow morning?

61
00:04:17,013 --> 00:04:19,004
First up. The thing is, Alan...

62
00:04:19,173 --> 00:04:22,370
...they found evidence of him
being present at her house.

63
00:04:22,533 --> 00:04:25,809
Now, he was there a week ago,
but not on the night of the murder.

64
00:04:25,973 --> 00:04:28,328
- Which was when?
- Two nights ago.

65
00:04:28,493 --> 00:04:31,724
I'm surprised you haven't heard about it.
It's been all over the news.

66
00:04:31,893 --> 00:04:34,965
- He's top cardiologist at Boston General.
- Yes, you mentioned that.

67
00:04:35,133 --> 00:04:38,443
You say he once had an affair
with the victim.

68
00:04:38,613 --> 00:04:40,444
A while ago, yes. But it was over.

69
00:04:40,613 --> 00:04:42,729
Well, if it was over,
why was he at her house?

70
00:04:42,893 --> 00:04:46,886
He said that she was distraught
and he went there to calm her down.

71
00:04:47,053 --> 00:04:49,089
- And you believe that?
- I do.

72
00:04:49,733 --> 00:04:51,610
- Okay.
- Plus he has an alibi.

73
00:04:51,773 --> 00:04:54,606
- Which is?
- Me.

74
00:04:54,773 --> 00:04:56,604
He never left the house
two nights ago.

75
00:04:56,773 --> 00:04:58,286
Ah.

76
00:04:59,453 --> 00:05:01,250
- You're sure?
- Positive.

77
00:05:05,013 --> 00:05:06,492
Hello.

Respect my privacy.
This is obviously a very difficult time.

82
00:05:40,213 --> 00:05:42,773
I can say unequivocally
that my husband is innocent.

83
00:05:42,933 --> 00:05:44,161
If you'll excuse us.

84
00:05:45,413 --> 00:05:47,290
I'd advise you not to talk to the press.

85
00:05:47,453 --> 00:05:50,286
- The DA is trying this case in the media.
Even so.

86
00:05:50,453 --> 00:05:52,842
- Will you look at this?
It's very high profile.

87
00:05:53,013 --> 00:05:56,164
- My husband is the leading cardiologist...
- All right, already.

88
00:05:56,973 --> 00:05:59,168
- Sorry.
- All rise.

89
00:05:59,333 --> 00:06:02,689
This court is now in session.
The honorable Judge Beacon presiding.

90
00:06:06,733 --> 00:06:10,089
Let's be clear right now.
This is a courtroom, not a circus.

91
00:06:10,253 --> 00:06:13,643
Anyone breaking its decorum is going
to get spanked by me personally.

92
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:16,846
The clerk will call the case.

93
00:06:17,013 --> 00:06:19,607
<i>Number 32859.
Commonwealth v. Robert L. Brooks...</i>

94
00:06:19,773 --> 00:06:22,333
...on the felony count
of murder in the first degree.

95
00:06:22,493 --> 00:06:24,370
Good morning.
Alan Shore for the defense.

96
00:06:24,533 --> 00:06:26,922
My goodness, what a splendid turnout.

97
00:06:27,093 --> 00:06:30,244
We'll waive reading of the charges
and enter a plea of not guilty.

98
00:06:30,413 --> 00:06:33,564
I'd ask you release my client
on his own recognizance pending trial.

99
00:06:33,733 --> 00:06:38,045
My client is a respected doctor. In fact,
I'm told he's the top cardiologist...

100
00:06:38,213 --> 00:06:40,090
Stewart Betts representing the state.

101
00:06:40,253 --> 00:06:43,290
We do not typically afford bail
to first-degree murderers.

102
00:06:43,453 --> 00:06:45,808
My client has roots
in the Boston community.

103
00:06:45,973 --> 00:06:49,204
He's certainly not a flight risk.
He has no prior criminal record.

104
00:06:49,373 --> 00:06:51,967
His being at large
poses no real risk to society.

105
00:06:52,133 --> 00:06:55,489
I don't know about Mr. Shore,
Your Honor, but I think the public...

106
00:06:55,653 --> 00:06:59,771
...would consider a murderer,
any murderer, especially this murderer...

107
00:06:59,933 --> 00:07:02,288
...a devious murderer, to be a risk.
- I'm sorry.

108
00:07:02,453 --> 00:07:05,604
Did you use the word "murderer"
four or five times in that sentence?

109
00:07:05,773 --> 00:07:07,570
- I'd hate to misquote you.
- Mr. Shore...

110
00:07:07,733 --> 00:07:09,405
...would you like to be disciplined?

111
00:07:11,413 --> 00:07:13,324
Given the methodology of this murder...

112
00:07:13,493 --> 00:07:15,324
...making it appear
like a heart attack...

113
00:07:15,493 --> 00:07:18,485
...I'm persuaded that the defendant
possesses the requisite craftiness...

114
00:07:18,653 --> 00:07:22,566
...to indeed escape this jurisdiction
with little effort if he so chooses.

115
00:07:22,733 --> 00:07:24,963
- Gee, that sounded impartial.
- Bail is denied.

116
00:07:25,133 --> 00:07:27,806
The defendant shall return to custody.
We're adjourned.

117
00:07:28,893 --> 00:07:32,568
I'll be back to meet with you shortly.
Meantime, please don't speak to anyone.

118
00:07:32,733 --> 00:07:34,610
Well done on bail.

119
00:07:36,773 --> 00:07:39,446
He can be a bit chilly at first, but...

120
00:07:39,613 --> 00:07:42,969
- Shall we go and meet him?
- I'd like to sit with him alone, please.

121
00:07:43,893 --> 00:07:45,042
- Why?
- Because I would.

122
00:07:45,213 --> 00:07:46,805
To get a feel for those I defend.

123
00:07:46,973 --> 00:07:49,248
Denny, you need to stop your penis
from humming.

124
00:07:57,213 --> 00:07:58,805
Thank you.

125
00:07:59,253 --> 00:08:02,086
- You want me to stay?
- I think I'm good.

126
00:08:02,253 --> 00:08:06,326
- You don't plan to kill me, do you?
- We'll see how it goes.

127
00:08:10,613 --> 00:08:14,606
- So is it Robert or Bob?
- Robert.

128
00:08:15,253 --> 00:08:17,403
So, what can you tell me, Bob?

129
00:08:18,253 --> 00:08:21,723
I'm innocent. I did have
a short-lived relationship with her...

130
00:08:21,893 --> 00:08:25,249
...which I broke off,
to her less-than-concealed dismay.

131
00:08:26,373 --> 00:08:30,605
- When you say short-lived...?
- Seventeen days, last autumn.

132
00:08:30,893 --> 00:08:32,849
She was your nurse?

133
00:08:33,213 --> 00:08:34,692
One of my nurses, yes.

134
00:08:36,613 --> 00:08:38,524
What occasioned the end of the affair?

135
00:08:39,693 --> 00:08:42,287
You're not curious
as to what precipitated the beginning?

136
00:08:42,453 --> 00:08:45,843
I've seen a picture of her.
I can fill in that blank.

137
00:08:50,573 --> 00:08:52,723
Well, the affair's end
was occasioned...

138
00:08:52,893 --> 00:08:57,011
...by Miss Goulet's emotional instability.
She was becoming increasingly erratic...

139
00:08:57,173 --> 00:09:00,085
...causing an unacceptable distraction
for me at work.

140
00:09:00,253 --> 00:09:03,450
I severed the relationship
and I sought to create a distance.

141
00:09:04,653 --> 00:09:07,725
She was persistent.
I never saw her romantically again.

142
00:09:07,893 --> 00:09:10,282
I did not go to her home
the evening of her death...

143
00:09:10,453 --> 00:09:12,762
...and I played no role whatsoever
in her death.

144
00:09:15,093 --> 00:09:16,731
Questions?

145
00:09:18,453 --> 00:09:21,411
According to the incident report,
you were seen by a neighbor...

146
00:09:21,573 --> 00:09:24,485
...at her house that night.
- Neighbor's mistaken.

147
00:09:24,973 --> 00:09:27,203
I was there
several days before the murder.

148
00:09:27,373 --> 00:09:30,888
I'd gone in an attempt
to diffuse her emotions.

149
00:09:31,053 --> 00:09:35,046
I was not there on the murder night,
which my wife will confirm.

150
00:09:36,133 --> 00:09:39,170
Well, wives have been known to lie
for their husbands.

151
00:09:40,293 --> 00:09:42,249
The jury will find my wife
very persuasive.

152
00:09:44,413 --> 00:09:47,450
Don't you find her impressive,
Mr. Shore?

153
00:09:51,493 --> 00:09:54,212
Denny, if this case
comes down to his testimony...

154
00:09:57,453 --> 00:09:58,852
He's incredibly unlikable.

155
00:10:00,133 --> 00:10:01,885
All worked out then, didn't it?

156
00:10:02,053 --> 00:10:04,851
- What do you mean?
- You didn't really wanna like this guy?

157
00:10:05,013 --> 00:10:07,891
- No, but I do wanna win the case.
- Really?

158
00:10:08,053 --> 00:10:09,532
Of course, really.

159
00:10:09,693 --> 00:10:12,765
What do you think? I'd purposely lose
so I could be with his wife?

160
00:10:12,933 --> 00:10:15,493
- I would.
- You would not.

161
00:10:15,653 --> 00:10:18,247
Your true love
is your undefeated record.

162
00:10:18,413 --> 00:10:19,641
And your true love is her.

163
00:10:22,373 --> 00:10:24,409
You know, Denny...

164
00:10:27,413 --> 00:10:31,406
...I must admit from time to time
through the years...

165
00:10:31,573 --> 00:10:35,532
...in various cases...

166
00:10:37,253 --> 00:10:42,691
...I've secretly fantasized that she was
in the back of the room watching.

167
00:10:44,373 --> 00:10:48,491
Everything we do is all about impressing
the girl. Even when the girl isn't there.

168
00:10:48,653 --> 00:10:52,487
But here she will be there,
watching me.

169
00:10:53,733 --> 00:10:55,769
Relying on me, even.

170
00:10:57,053 --> 00:10:59,009
Alan, look at me.

171
00:10:59,173 --> 00:11:02,483
At first I thought this would be fun,
exciting.

172
00:11:03,453 --> 00:11:05,683
Now I'm telling you as your best friend,
get out.

173
00:11:06,733 --> 00:11:08,166
In defeat, you lose...

174
00:11:08,333 --> 00:11:11,564
...disappointing the one woman
you really love.

175
00:11:12,173 --> 00:11:14,004
In victory...

176
00:11:14,613 --> 00:11:16,922
...she walks away with her husband.

177
00:11:19,533 --> 00:11:20,807
Which isn't you.

178
00:11:35,053 --> 00:11:37,647
Okay, at first the coroner
ruled natural causes...

179
00:11:37,813 --> 00:11:41,362
...and you can pretty much see why.
Not a mark on her.

180
00:11:41,533 --> 00:11:45,412
Except for this mole here.
It's spectacular. Can I touch it?

181
00:11:48,493 --> 00:11:52,202
But once they tumbled to the affair,
they decided to look again.

182
00:11:52,373 --> 00:11:53,806
That's when they found this.

183
00:11:55,173 --> 00:11:59,052
You can see the needle mark
here on the thigh. Succinylcholine.

184
00:11:59,213 --> 00:12:02,683
The beauty is, it basically disappears
from the system within minutes.

185
00:12:02,853 --> 00:12:05,811
And best of all,
the symptoms mimic a heart attack.

186
00:12:05,973 --> 00:12:08,806
- And it kills you immediately?
- First paralysis, then death.

187
00:12:08,973 --> 00:12:11,089
It's likely she woke up
when she got jabbed.

188
00:12:11,253 --> 00:12:14,165
But going into paralysis,
nothing she could do...

189
00:12:14,333 --> 00:12:16,528
...except watch her killer
walk out the door.

190
00:12:17,293 --> 00:12:19,602
- Any semen?
- Not yet.

191
00:12:22,293 --> 00:12:23,567
No semen was found.

192
00:12:23,733 --> 00:12:26,611
- Saliva or hair?
- Nothing found on the body.

193
00:12:26,773 --> 00:12:31,449
Almost the perfect crime.
Whoever did this was one smart guy.

194
00:12:35,133 --> 00:12:38,364
The neighbor's house is here,
meaning his sightline is this way...

195
00:12:38,533 --> 00:12:42,082
...which means he'd see cars from
the front given the curve of the street.

196
00:12:42,253 --> 00:12:43,732
What's the lighting like?

197
00:12:43,893 --> 00:12:46,930
Well, a street lamp here.
So it's not great.

198
00:12:47,093 --> 00:12:48,606
If we can shake this witness...

199
00:12:48,773 --> 00:12:51,924
...then everything else
is completely circumstantial, right?

200
00:12:52,093 --> 00:12:54,288
They can place him at the scene
with forensics.

201
00:12:54,453 --> 00:12:57,206
- Not that night.
- No, the neighbor does that.

202
00:12:57,373 --> 00:12:59,648
Your husband had a romantic history
with the victim.

203
00:12:59,813 --> 00:13:02,008
The victim's mother
will testify as to threats...

204
00:13:02,173 --> 00:13:04,368
- She's lying.
- Yes, according to your husband.

205
00:13:05,373 --> 00:13:07,933
Whoever did this
clearly has medical expertise.

206
00:13:08,093 --> 00:13:09,924
- Add to that...
- Add to that what?

207
00:13:11,413 --> 00:13:13,051
The jury will hate him.

208
00:13:14,853 --> 00:13:16,764
Meaning you hate him.

209
00:13:16,933 --> 00:13:19,208
- My feelings aren't relevant.
- Oh, come on, Alan.

210
00:13:19,373 --> 00:13:21,568
Your feelings aren't in play here?

211
00:13:23,293 --> 00:13:24,772
No.

212
00:13:26,813 --> 00:13:29,885
I think if you look at this case clinically,
you will appreciate...

213
00:13:30,053 --> 00:13:31,930
...that the prosecution's case is weak.

214
00:13:32,093 --> 00:13:36,644
The evidence is all circumstantial.
The victim had other affairs.

215
00:13:36,813 --> 00:13:39,452
- Which we can't prove.
- And my husband has an alibi.

216
00:13:40,653 --> 00:13:44,612
Testimony of a devoted wife
is rarely winning.

217
00:13:45,533 --> 00:13:48,445
I don't think the jury will believe you.

218
00:13:50,533 --> 00:13:52,524
Do you believe me?

219
00:13:55,933 --> 00:13:57,332
No.

220
00:13:58,093 --> 00:13:59,572
I know you.

221
00:13:59,733 --> 00:14:02,964
You would never forgive him
for having the affair.

222
00:14:04,733 --> 00:14:09,602
In fact, if memory serves me, you can be
quite punishing on that subject.

223
00:14:09,773 --> 00:14:11,684
- It's different when you have kids.
- Yes.

224
00:14:11,853 --> 00:14:14,083
And your children
need their father around.

225
00:14:14,253 --> 00:14:17,325
So you're willing to do whatever you can
to keep him out of jail...

226
00:14:17,493 --> 00:14:20,644
...including lie for him
in the witness chair.

227
00:14:21,173 --> 00:14:22,845
You're wrong.

228
00:14:23,213 --> 00:14:24,487
I don't think so.

229
00:14:27,613 --> 00:14:31,891
Well, clearly
I need to get another attorney.

230
00:14:36,693 --> 00:14:39,605
- Lf we agree to plead to manslaughter...
- Absolutely not.

231
00:14:40,813 --> 00:14:43,930
- That's your husband's decision.
- I know exactly what that will be.

232
00:14:44,093 --> 00:14:46,402
There will be no guilty plea.

233
00:14:47,933 --> 00:14:51,721
This wasn't a heat-of-passion crime,
Phoebe.

234
00:14:51,893 --> 00:14:55,806
It was calculated.

235
00:14:56,413 --> 00:14:58,165
Cold.

236
00:15:00,013 --> 00:15:01,048
Do you trust this man?

237
00:15:03,813 --> 00:15:08,682
- How about around your children?
- He would never hurt the children.

238
00:15:09,773 --> 00:15:11,923
And he did not commit this crime...

239
00:15:12,093 --> 00:15:15,608
...however much you're determined
to believe otherwise.

240
00:15:23,253 --> 00:15:24,481
You still love me, Alan.

241
00:15:27,013 --> 00:15:28,651
As do I you.

242
00:15:32,013 --> 00:15:33,412
You...

243
00:15:34,133 --> 00:15:37,603
You don't think that I want to believe
that he's guilty sometimes?

244
00:15:39,533 --> 00:15:41,091
It would be so easy to.

245
00:15:42,613 --> 00:15:46,003
I am still angry over the affair.
Of course I am.

246
00:15:47,213 --> 00:15:50,205
And sometimes I think
it would just be easier if I...

247
00:15:51,333 --> 00:15:56,168
If I just ditched everything,
including him...

248
00:15:57,213 --> 00:16:01,843
...and took off to some island
with an old boyfriend that I've never...

249
00:16:03,773 --> 00:16:04,762
Don't.

250
00:16:06,653 --> 00:16:08,564
Do not make that mistake.

251
00:16:10,733 --> 00:16:13,725
You need to protect yourself, Alan.

252
00:16:15,693 --> 00:16:18,002
Because when this trial is over...

253
00:16:18,813 --> 00:16:21,008
...I will be walking away with him.

254
00:16:23,933 --> 00:16:26,652
My family is my life.

255
00:16:37,853 --> 00:16:40,606
I know she was afraid of him
because she told me so.

256
00:16:40,773 --> 00:16:44,083
She was in a very excitable state
when she did so.

257
00:16:44,253 --> 00:16:47,245
She said,
"Mom, I'm scared to death of him. "

258
00:16:47,413 --> 00:16:49,881
Why did your daughter
fear the defendant, Mrs. Goulet?

259
00:16:50,653 --> 00:16:54,123
She threatened to tell his wife
that they had resumed the affair.

260
00:16:54,293 --> 00:16:56,124
What else did your daughter tell you?

261
00:16:56,293 --> 00:16:59,091
She said he said, "If you do tell her...

262
00:16:59,253 --> 00:17:00,971
...you will pay for it. "

263
00:17:04,533 --> 00:17:05,602
Very dramatic.

264
00:17:05,773 --> 00:17:08,765
Probably see it on the news.
You like being on the news?

265
00:17:08,933 --> 00:17:11,925
You think I enjoy
talking about my daughter's murder?

266
00:17:12,093 --> 00:17:14,004
- I see you on TV.
- Almost as much as him.

267
00:17:14,173 --> 00:17:15,447
Not that much.
- You're right.

268
00:17:18,693 --> 00:17:20,172
Phyllis. May I call you Phyllis?

269
00:17:25,173 --> 00:17:29,724
When your daughter told you that she
feared my client, were you worried?

270
00:17:30,293 --> 00:17:31,851
- Of course.
- Did you tell anybody?

271
00:17:32,013 --> 00:17:35,847
I'm sure you told somebody. A friend,
a relative, a mental-health specialist.

272
00:17:36,013 --> 00:17:37,287
- Objection.
- Overruled.

273
00:17:37,453 --> 00:17:40,889
Phyllis,
did you make up this little story?

274
00:17:41,053 --> 00:17:44,841
No, I did not. You disgusting person.

275
00:17:46,733 --> 00:17:49,293
I don't like being called disgusting.

276
00:17:49,773 --> 00:17:52,367
Did you ever
call your daughter disgusting?

277
00:17:52,533 --> 00:17:54,364
Of course not.

278
00:17:56,133 --> 00:17:58,886
I have a copy of a letter
that you wrote to your daughter...

279
00:17:59,053 --> 00:18:00,645
...shortly before her death.

280
00:18:00,813 --> 00:18:03,168
The prosecution has the letter...

281
00:18:03,333 --> 00:18:06,166
...and they mistakenly forgot
to produce it during discovery.

282
00:18:06,333 --> 00:18:07,686
Oversight.

283
00:18:07,853 --> 00:18:10,526
Would you read the highlighted section,
please?

284
00:18:10,693 --> 00:18:13,412
And don't forget to project.
There's a camera back there.

285
00:18:13,573 --> 00:18:14,608
Objection.

286
00:18:17,573 --> 00:18:20,326
The highlighted section, please.

287
00:18:25,813 --> 00:18:27,007
"You never call.

288
00:18:27,173 --> 00:18:29,767
You're too busy running around
with all your married men.

289
00:18:30,573 --> 00:18:33,041
You're a disgraceful...

290
00:18:33,973 --> 00:18:36,567
...disgusting whore. "

291
00:18:42,093 --> 00:18:44,368
No evidence of anybody else
present in the home...

292
00:18:44,533 --> 00:18:46,842
...except for the victim
and the defendant.

293
00:18:47,013 --> 00:18:49,288
Sloppy work for the defendant
to leave his prints.

294
00:18:49,453 --> 00:18:52,889
He didn't, not really. We only
found a few old prints here and there.

295
00:18:53,053 --> 00:18:56,409
The crime scene was otherwise
conspicuously meticulous.

296
00:18:57,133 --> 00:19:00,170
It causes cardiac arrest,
ventricular dysrhythmia.

297
00:19:00,333 --> 00:19:04,565
It quickly degrades. It's very difficult
to detect after a few hours.

298
00:19:04,733 --> 00:19:07,486
The perfect drug if you're
looking to get away with murder.

299
00:19:07,653 --> 00:19:08,972
It is.

300
00:19:09,133 --> 00:19:11,647
She never told me she was afraid of him,
but did say...

301
00:19:11,813 --> 00:19:14,566
...she was thinking about telling his wife
about the affair.

302
00:19:14,733 --> 00:19:15,768
Were there other men?

303
00:19:15,933 --> 00:19:18,322
There were certainly rumors of others.

304
00:19:18,493 --> 00:19:20,449
She never brought them
around the hospital.

305
00:19:20,613 --> 00:19:22,285
I'd seen his car many times.

306
00:19:22,453 --> 00:19:24,842
- And you saw it the night of the murder?
Yes.

307
00:19:25,013 --> 00:19:27,527
I'd gotten up to go to the bathroom.

308
00:19:27,693 --> 00:19:32,926
- I looked out the window. I saw it.
- You told the police you weren't sure.

309
00:19:33,093 --> 00:19:37,132
Well, it had happened a few
days earlier, and I had to think back.

310
00:19:37,293 --> 00:19:40,171
I did, and I am sure I saw it that night.

311
00:19:40,933 --> 00:19:45,131
Ever see any other cars
go into that driveway on other nights?

312
00:19:45,293 --> 00:19:47,090
Oh, many times.

313
00:19:47,973 --> 00:19:53,286
Miss Goulet
had a very diverse recreational life.

314
00:19:55,533 --> 00:19:57,888
What do you mean I shouldn't testify?

315
00:19:58,053 --> 00:19:59,964
My feeling is it would be a disaster.

316
00:20:00,653 --> 00:20:03,167
Prosecution would pick you apart
over the affair.

317
00:20:03,333 --> 00:20:06,530
All you can do is say you didn't
go to the victim's house that night.

318
00:20:06,693 --> 00:20:08,763
And we have Phoebe to say that.

319
00:20:10,053 --> 00:20:12,806
Well, I'm not an attorney,
but I would think at a minimum...

320
00:20:12,973 --> 00:20:16,090
...the defendant needs to deny the crime
for which he is charged.

321
00:20:16,253 --> 00:20:19,689
- You would be wrong.
Come on, you're guilty as sin.

322
00:20:19,853 --> 00:20:22,128
You don't fool us.
You won't fool the jury.

323
00:20:22,293 --> 00:20:24,409
Stop being such a baby.

324
00:20:24,733 --> 00:20:27,725
Tell me, Bob.
Had you resumed the affair?

325
00:20:30,413 --> 00:20:32,085
Just a yes or no question.

326
00:20:33,053 --> 00:20:34,486
No.

327
00:20:35,213 --> 00:20:36,851
I think we'll skip your testimony.

328
00:20:37,493 --> 00:20:39,290
Are you in love with my wife,
Mr. Shore?

329
00:20:42,253 --> 00:20:43,811
Just a yes or no question.

330
00:20:55,333 --> 00:20:57,722
He strikes me
as a very difficult man to love.

331
00:21:01,093 --> 00:21:05,609
Well, that seems to be my curse.
I fall for difficult men.

332
00:21:09,253 --> 00:21:11,972
- It doesn't look good, does it?
- It looks terrible.

333
00:21:15,333 --> 00:21:16,925
We've still got reasonable doubt.

334
00:21:20,253 --> 00:21:23,290
Phoebe, our entire defense is you.

335
00:21:24,373 --> 00:21:27,251
You have to persuade the jury
tomorrow.

336
00:21:27,413 --> 00:21:30,928
And I'm sorry, but I have to say this.
You need to do a much better job...

337
00:21:31,093 --> 00:21:33,607
...persuading them
than you have so far persuading me.

338
00:21:36,093 --> 00:21:37,162
Or me.

339
00:21:48,053 --> 00:21:52,365
The Robert Brooks trial winds down with
the defendant's wife taking the stand.

340
00:21:52,533 --> 00:21:56,048
She's, of course, expected to say
that her husband never left the house...

341
00:21:56,213 --> 00:21:58,966
...on the night
of Isabel Goulet's murder.

342
00:21:59,133 --> 00:22:02,205
Denny Crane, step aside.
I'm not wearing underwear, not pretty.

343
00:22:02,373 --> 00:22:03,601
No comment.

344
00:22:03,773 --> 00:22:07,209
You swear to tell the truth, and nothing
but the truth, so help you God?

345
00:22:07,373 --> 00:22:08,601
- I do.
- Be seated.

346
00:22:12,853 --> 00:22:16,004
Miss Prentice, you're married
to the defendant, Dr. Robert Brooks?

347
00:22:16,173 --> 00:22:18,289
- I am.
And how long have you been so?

348
00:22:18,453 --> 00:22:20,011
Sixteen years.

349
00:22:20,173 --> 00:22:24,371
I imagine this has been
quite an ordeal for you.

350
00:22:24,533 --> 00:22:27,286
- Yes.
- Do you love your husband?

351
00:22:28,853 --> 00:22:30,764
Very much.

352
00:22:31,053 --> 00:22:35,968
So in the interest of fairness, it should
be said you have a strong bias here.

353
00:22:36,133 --> 00:22:38,647
- I do.
- Notwithstanding that bias...

354
00:22:38,813 --> 00:22:40,929
...you understand
that your testimony today...

355
00:22:41,093 --> 00:22:43,653
...is subject to the pains
and penalties of perjury.

356
00:22:45,053 --> 00:22:47,169
- I do.
Then let's cut right to the chase.

357
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:48,925
We're all dying to know.

358
00:22:49,093 --> 00:22:52,847
Where were you on the night
Isabel Goulet was murdered?

359
00:22:53,013 --> 00:22:55,891
Well, I arrived home from work
a little after 7:00...

360
00:22:56,053 --> 00:22:57,486
...which was my routine.

361
00:22:57,653 --> 00:22:59,883
We like to have dinner as a family.

362
00:23:00,053 --> 00:23:02,408
It's a ritual
we're very conscientious about.

363
00:23:02,573 --> 00:23:04,962
- You, your husband and your children?
- That's right.

364
00:23:05,133 --> 00:23:08,011
- And after dinner?
- Well, my kids did their homework.

365
00:23:08,173 --> 00:23:11,529
It was a school night,
and Robert did some work in his den...

366
00:23:11,693 --> 00:23:15,447
...and I think that I did some laundry
or something.

367
00:23:15,613 --> 00:23:18,252
Then at about 10:00,
my kids went to bed...

368
00:23:18,413 --> 00:23:21,485
...and Robert and I
had a glass of wine.

369
00:23:21,653 --> 00:23:23,689
We watched some news.

370
00:23:23,853 --> 00:23:28,165
And then he took a sleeping pill,
which he invariably does...

371
00:23:28,333 --> 00:23:30,164
...and we went to sleep.

372
00:23:30,333 --> 00:23:32,403
It was pretty uneventful.

373
00:23:32,573 --> 00:23:35,406
- You stayed in all night?
- That's correct.

374
00:23:35,573 --> 00:23:37,803
Did your husband leave the house?

375
00:23:49,573 --> 00:23:51,768
Miss Prentice,
did your husband leave the house?

376
00:23:59,253 --> 00:24:02,404
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
Could I please take a short break?

377
00:24:02,573 --> 00:24:04,882
No. I think you should
answer the question, ma'am.

378
00:24:05,053 --> 00:24:07,772
Did your husband
leave the house that night?

379
00:24:15,373 --> 00:24:16,772
Yes.

380
00:24:19,613 --> 00:24:22,286
- Your Honor, I'd like a short recess...
- Not gonna happen.

381
00:24:22,453 --> 00:24:24,125
When did he leave?

382
00:24:25,093 --> 00:24:26,970
I don't know. I...

383
00:24:28,413 --> 00:24:29,892
I woke up after midnight.

384
00:24:30,733 --> 00:24:33,691
- Your Honor, I need to confer with my...
Mr. Shore, be quiet.

385
00:24:33,853 --> 00:24:35,844
Do you know where he went?

386
00:24:39,613 --> 00:24:41,763
No, I did not know.

387
00:24:43,213 --> 00:24:44,692
When did he get home?

388
00:24:45,533 --> 00:24:46,886
Sometime after 3.

389
00:24:47,893 --> 00:24:50,282
This is unfair surprise.
- It's your witness.

390
00:24:50,453 --> 00:24:52,887
I don't care.
We're fast approaching a mistrial.

391
00:24:53,053 --> 00:24:54,611
You need to give me a recess.

392
00:24:56,613 --> 00:24:59,207
All right.
We're gonna take a 1-hour break.

393
00:25:00,333 --> 00:25:01,448
What the hell was that?

394
00:25:01,613 --> 00:25:04,173
- I am so sorry.
- Lf your intent was to bury him...

395
00:25:04,333 --> 00:25:05,812
...why hire me?
- To reconnect.

396
00:25:05,973 --> 00:25:07,804
You'd be there
when her husband went to jail.

397
00:25:07,973 --> 00:25:10,089
That isn't true.
It is. You love Alan.

398
00:25:10,253 --> 00:25:12,289
Do you deny it?

399
00:25:13,253 --> 00:25:15,483
I hired Alan
to secure my husband's freedom.

400
00:25:15,653 --> 00:25:20,090
That was my intent. I wanted
to preserve my family at whatever cost.

401
00:25:20,253 --> 00:25:21,971
So, what changed?

402
00:25:23,053 --> 00:25:26,932
Well, I suddenly thought
if I commit perjury...

403
00:25:27,093 --> 00:25:28,367
...what if I go to jail?

404
00:25:28,533 --> 00:25:30,808
Who raises my kids then?
I mean, they could be...

405
00:25:30,973 --> 00:25:34,852
They could be faced with losing both
their father and their mother. And...

406
00:25:35,733 --> 00:25:37,132
Plus I...

407
00:25:37,533 --> 00:25:38,966
Plus what?

408
00:25:39,973 --> 00:25:43,170
I really believed
that the affair was over, Alan. I did.

409
00:25:43,333 --> 00:25:44,891
But it wasn't.

410
00:25:45,813 --> 00:25:49,249
How am I supposed to lie for somebody
who's not even faithful to me?

411
00:25:58,013 --> 00:25:59,969
Thank you.
You're welcome.

412
00:26:03,653 --> 00:26:05,723
So, Bob, we need to talk.

413
00:26:21,213 --> 00:26:24,330
- You okay?
- Fine.

414
00:26:25,253 --> 00:26:27,369
You want me to take this?

415
00:26:28,333 --> 00:26:29,891
I'll take it.

416
00:27:07,413 --> 00:27:10,450
First of all, I admire your honesty...

417
00:27:11,373 --> 00:27:14,365
...to give testimony
against somebody you love.

418
00:27:17,013 --> 00:27:20,847
We all witnessed
an extraordinary thing.

419
00:27:21,693 --> 00:27:25,402
Of course,
you didn't have to give that testimony.

420
00:27:26,133 --> 00:27:27,885
While it's true you were under oath...

421
00:27:28,053 --> 00:27:32,205
...you also enjoy a privilege
as the defendant's spouse...

422
00:27:32,373 --> 00:27:35,171
...to not give evidence against him.

423
00:27:35,333 --> 00:27:38,962
Well, as I said, I didn't plan to,
but once I took the stand...

424
00:27:39,133 --> 00:27:43,206
...I felt that I'd effectively
waived that privilege. So...

425
00:27:43,373 --> 00:27:44,806
Ah.

426
00:27:45,373 --> 00:27:47,170
I guess the other conclusion
would be...

427
00:27:47,333 --> 00:27:51,849
...that perhaps you really did
want to testify against him.

428
00:27:53,653 --> 00:27:55,006
Did you?

429
00:27:55,733 --> 00:27:56,768
You know I didn't.

430
00:27:59,013 --> 00:28:03,564
Miss Prentice, have you undergone
any psychiatric treatment of late...

431
00:28:03,733 --> 00:28:05,451
...for a personality disorder?

432
00:28:08,293 --> 00:28:12,969
I have never been diagnosed
with any personality disorder.

433
00:28:13,133 --> 00:28:14,248
That wasn't my question.

434
00:28:14,413 --> 00:28:17,007
I asked whether you've been treated
recently for one.

435
00:28:19,093 --> 00:28:21,004
My medical history is private.

436
00:28:22,773 --> 00:28:25,890
But I will repeat
that I've never been diagnosed...

437
00:28:26,053 --> 00:28:27,486
...with a personality disorder.

438
00:28:30,213 --> 00:28:33,410
Would you consider yourself
to be a violent person, Miss Prentice?

439
00:28:33,573 --> 00:28:35,370
- No.
- Have you ever been violent?

440
00:28:35,533 --> 00:28:38,206
Well, I'm sure everyone's lost
his or her temper, but...

441
00:28:38,373 --> 00:28:39,886
Ever lost yours with a knife?

442
00:28:44,013 --> 00:28:48,052
Am I being too vague? Have you ever
lost your temper with a knife...

443
00:28:48,213 --> 00:28:49,931
...with your 9-year-old daughter?

444
00:28:51,613 --> 00:28:53,922
- No.
- No? Gee.

445
00:28:54,093 --> 00:28:57,051
For someone who has
such a strong obligation...

446
00:28:57,213 --> 00:29:00,011
...to tell the truth under oath,
that answer surprises me.

447
00:29:01,133 --> 00:29:04,728
Did you not threaten
your 9-year-old daughter with a knife...

448
00:29:04,893 --> 00:29:08,363
...after she spilled grape juice
on your new living-room carpet?

449
00:29:08,533 --> 00:29:11,684
I snapped at her
while had a knife in my hand.

450
00:29:11,853 --> 00:29:15,050
Wasn't it more like you were
watching television, she spilled juice...

451
00:29:15,213 --> 00:29:17,522
...you flew into a rage,
went into the kitchen...

452
00:29:17,693 --> 00:29:21,481
...returned with paper towels
and the knife, and threatened her.

453
00:29:21,653 --> 00:29:26,408
- Wasn't it more like that?
- I never threatened her with a knife.

454
00:29:27,413 --> 00:29:30,291
A few minutes ago in that witness room,
you indicated to me...

455
00:29:30,453 --> 00:29:32,364
...that you had
reached the conclusion...

456
00:29:32,533 --> 00:29:35,525
...that your husband had resumed
his affair with Miss Goulet.

457
00:29:35,693 --> 00:29:37,445
- Did you not?
- Yes.

458
00:29:37,613 --> 00:29:40,252
You reached that conclusion
a week before the murder...

459
00:29:40,413 --> 00:29:43,132
...when Miss Goulet told you
the affair was back on, right?

460
00:29:43,293 --> 00:29:46,285
This time, you picked up the knife
and threatened your husband.

461
00:29:46,453 --> 00:29:48,171
- No.
- You told him you would kill him.

462
00:29:48,333 --> 00:29:49,846
- Didn't you?
- No.

463
00:29:50,013 --> 00:29:53,210
Then you said you'd think of something
even better than killing him.

464
00:29:53,373 --> 00:29:55,125
- No.
You testified...

465
00:29:55,293 --> 00:29:56,851
...Robert took a sleeping pill.

466
00:29:57,013 --> 00:29:58,969
Did he unknowingly
take two or three extra?

467
00:29:59,133 --> 00:30:01,408
- Maybe in his wine?
- That's ridiculous.

468
00:30:01,573 --> 00:30:04,610
You were driving the car
that pulled into Miss Goulet's driveway.

469
00:30:04,773 --> 00:30:06,889
You gave her
the injection that killed her...

470
00:30:07,053 --> 00:30:09,965
...knowing full well
the police would suspect him.

471
00:30:10,133 --> 00:30:11,725
- Your Honor...
- Sit down, Mr. Betts.

472
00:30:11,893 --> 00:30:14,646
You didn't just frame him
and bury him at trial.

473
00:30:14,813 --> 00:30:18,362
You added the indignity of having
an old boyfriend be part of the equation.

474
00:30:18,533 --> 00:30:21,969
- One might find that to be a little sick.
- You know, he is the sick one.

475
00:30:23,853 --> 00:30:26,890
And he has concocted
this fantastic tale...

476
00:30:29,653 --> 00:30:31,086
...to get away with murder.

477
00:30:35,093 --> 00:30:36,367
You don't look well, Phoebe.

478
00:30:38,613 --> 00:30:40,285
You're diabetic.

479
00:30:41,373 --> 00:30:42,647
How do you get your insulin?

480
00:30:47,253 --> 00:30:50,529
- Injections.
- Pretty good with needles then?

481
00:31:06,693 --> 00:31:10,606
Spectacular performance,
but I must say I'm not surprised.

482
00:31:10,773 --> 00:31:13,333
Mr. Shore is legendary for his stunts...

483
00:31:13,493 --> 00:31:17,452
...and spellbinding maneuvers
that no doubt dazzle his audiences...

484
00:31:17,613 --> 00:31:20,730
- I object to my sex life being introduced...
- Mr. Shore.

485
00:31:22,093 --> 00:31:24,926
You see? This is what he does.

486
00:31:25,093 --> 00:31:28,369
He distracts. He uses sleight of hand.
He manipulates.

487
00:31:28,533 --> 00:31:32,606
But all of these ploys,
they come from desperation.

488
00:31:33,773 --> 00:31:37,049
All the physical evidence
points to the doctor.

489
00:31:37,213 --> 00:31:41,286
And it took the expertise of a doctor
to make it look like a heart attack.

490
00:31:41,453 --> 00:31:44,092
The doctor was romantically involved
with the victim.

491
00:31:44,253 --> 00:31:47,404
The doctor is the one
who threatened the victim.

492
00:31:47,573 --> 00:31:51,361
Mr. Shore had no choice
but to reach into his magic hat...

493
00:31:51,533 --> 00:31:57,130
...and grope for something that he could
pass off as reasonable doubt.

494
00:31:58,973 --> 00:32:04,764
Well, there's desperation
and there is desperation.

495
00:32:07,733 --> 00:32:09,451
Let's all get real.

496
00:32:13,413 --> 00:32:15,643
I wouldn't even know
where to begin to get real.

497
00:32:16,573 --> 00:32:21,203
It's so hard to believe
that any of this could possibly be real.

498
00:32:23,173 --> 00:32:27,883
It's so implausible,
so fantastic, so utterly...

499
00:32:30,733 --> 00:32:32,212
...Phoebe.

500
00:32:35,653 --> 00:32:39,168
Whether she suddenly chose to bury
her husband while on the stand...

501
00:32:39,333 --> 00:32:42,450
...or whether it was
part of some master plot, I don't know.

502
00:32:42,613 --> 00:32:46,162
But she buried him.
There is no disputing that.

503
00:32:47,373 --> 00:32:51,412
This crime was executed
with Machiavellian efficiency...

504
00:32:51,573 --> 00:32:54,849
...by a woman
who not only had plenty of motive...

505
00:32:55,013 --> 00:32:57,846
...but is also quite handy with needles.

506
00:32:58,013 --> 00:33:02,643
True, there was no forensic evidence
to prove she was at the scene.

507
00:33:02,813 --> 00:33:04,087
But you heard the detective.

508
00:33:04,253 --> 00:33:07,643
He said the house
was conspicuously meticulous.

509
00:33:07,813 --> 00:33:09,326
It had been cleaned up.

510
00:33:09,493 --> 00:33:12,530
Could Phoebe Prentice have known
about the drug succinylcholine?

511
00:33:12,693 --> 00:33:16,652
Why not? Her husband is a doctor.
Their house is full of medical books.

512
00:33:16,813 --> 00:33:20,601
There's all kinds of evidence against her.
But the truth is, it doesn't matter.

513
00:33:20,773 --> 00:33:23,810
Because you saw all you needed to
in her testimony.

514
00:33:23,973 --> 00:33:27,522
You saw it in her eyes,
you heard it in her voice.

515
00:33:27,693 --> 00:33:29,684
And you know...

516
00:33:34,693 --> 00:33:36,285
...she did it.

517
00:33:37,573 --> 00:33:40,690
Phoebe Prentice killed the woman
her husband was sleeping with...

518
00:33:40,853 --> 00:33:43,572
...and framed her cheating husband
in the process.

519
00:33:44,013 --> 00:33:45,844
Perfect crime.

520
00:33:48,973 --> 00:33:50,611
Almost.

521
00:33:53,693 --> 00:33:54,762
Almost.

522
00:34:39,213 --> 00:34:40,646
Okay.

523
00:34:40,813 --> 00:34:44,442
Madam Foreperson, the jury
has reached a unanimous verdict?

524
00:34:44,613 --> 00:34:47,923
- We have, Your Honor.
- The defendant will please rise.

525
00:34:49,933 --> 00:34:51,685
- What say you?
In the matter of...

526
00:34:51,853 --> 00:34:54,890
<i>...the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
v. Robert L. Brooks...</i>

527
00:34:55,053 --> 00:34:57,328
...on the charge
of murder in the first degree...

528
00:34:57,493 --> 00:35:00,451
...we find the defendant,
Robert Brooks...

529
00:35:01,213 --> 00:35:03,044
...not guilty.

530
00:35:22,453 --> 00:35:25,650
My advice to you, Dr. Brooks,
if you have out-of-town relatives...

531
00:35:25,813 --> 00:35:29,169
...the press here
does not figure to let up for a while.

532
00:35:29,853 --> 00:35:31,571
No doubt your wife has left town.

533
00:35:33,493 --> 00:35:36,530
Well, I suppose a huge "thank you"
would be in order.

534
00:35:38,173 --> 00:35:40,004
- I suppose.
- Thank you.

535
00:35:40,733 --> 00:35:44,328
Can't say that you were everything
Phoebe built you up to be, but...

536
00:35:44,493 --> 00:35:45,562
...you were close.

537
00:35:45,733 --> 00:35:48,770
Did you really not suspect
that she'd left the house that night?

538
00:35:48,933 --> 00:35:50,969
I never left the house, Alan.

539
00:36:01,973 --> 00:36:03,929
When you told me
I was the whole defense...

540
00:36:04,093 --> 00:36:08,211
...and that I wasn't persuasive,
I decided on another tack.

541
00:36:09,053 --> 00:36:14,764
Incriminating my husband in a way
that would make me seem guilty.

542
00:36:17,293 --> 00:36:21,081
Do you really think that I would
threaten my own child with a knife?

543
00:36:21,253 --> 00:36:23,005
Come on.

544
00:36:23,173 --> 00:36:26,882
We had to make up a few things.
Give you something to get her with.

545
00:36:27,493 --> 00:36:30,769
I never got the call from the victim
telling me about the affair.

546
00:36:30,933 --> 00:36:32,889
I never told Robert
I was gonna kill him...

547
00:36:33,053 --> 00:36:36,841
...and I never left the house that night.

548
00:36:40,053 --> 00:36:43,523
You were very convincing.
You might have been too convincing.

549
00:36:43,693 --> 00:36:46,685
You're now certain to be arrested
and charged with the crime.

550
00:36:46,853 --> 00:36:49,970
I can risk that, since there's no evidence
of me committing it...

551
00:36:50,133 --> 00:36:51,930
...because I didn't.

552
00:36:52,253 --> 00:36:55,768
And if need be, Robert can always
set the record straight.

553
00:36:56,333 --> 00:36:59,131
He's protected now
by double jeopardy.

554
00:37:01,693 --> 00:37:02,762
There's still perjury.

555
00:37:02,933 --> 00:37:06,084
Who committed perjury?
He never testified and I never lied.

556
00:37:06,253 --> 00:37:09,325
You'll remember that I denied
all of your accusations.

557
00:37:09,493 --> 00:37:12,644
In fact, the only one
who tried to introduce false evidence...

558
00:37:12,813 --> 00:37:14,690
...was you.

559
00:37:20,093 --> 00:37:22,653
It was never my intent
to play it this way.

560
00:37:24,013 --> 00:37:26,004
My plan was simply to be his alibi.

561
00:37:26,173 --> 00:37:29,165
But then when you said
that I wasn't persuasive...

562
00:37:32,693 --> 00:37:33,762
I'm sorry.

563
00:37:35,093 --> 00:37:36,287
You should leave now.

564
00:37:39,093 --> 00:37:42,165
- The truth is I never deceived you.
- You told me he was innocent.

565
00:37:42,333 --> 00:37:44,893
But you weren't deceived, were you?

566
00:37:46,733 --> 00:37:48,963
Two other things I told you:

567
00:37:49,893 --> 00:37:54,011
Keeping my family together, whatever
the cost, was everything to me.

568
00:37:56,253 --> 00:38:00,041
And that at the end,
I would be walking away with Robert.

569
00:38:02,653 --> 00:38:04,086
I was very clear on that.

570
00:38:46,293 --> 00:38:50,252
- There's gotta be a way to turn them in.
- We could.

571
00:38:50,813 --> 00:38:55,250
Get disbarred. Go fishing.
Retire to stud.

572
00:38:57,293 --> 00:39:01,002
Oh, Alan. You gotta tip your hat.
She fooled everybody, including us.

573
00:39:01,173 --> 00:39:03,892
I am not tipping my hat.

574
00:39:08,333 --> 00:39:11,086
This is one of those times
I'm lucky to be unlucky in love.

575
00:39:11,613 --> 00:39:14,844
I'll bet you're lucky at cards.

576
00:39:15,333 --> 00:39:17,244
Let's go to Vegas.

577
00:39:18,053 --> 00:39:20,203
I'm trying to cheer you up.

578
00:39:21,373 --> 00:39:26,322
Alan. The thing you have to realize...
And someday you will.

579
00:39:26,493 --> 00:39:30,202
- A person only has
one true love in his life.

580
00:39:31,213 --> 00:39:32,965
Like it or not, your true love...

581
00:39:34,893 --> 00:39:36,372
...is me.

582
00:39:36,773 --> 00:39:40,846
We may not have sex,
but ours is an affair of the heart.

583
00:39:42,933 --> 00:39:44,969
And we do spoon well.

584
00:39:46,253 --> 00:39:47,652
And I make you smile.

585
00:39:49,493 --> 00:39:51,211
Yes, you do.

586
00:39:55,573 --> 00:39:57,291
Sleepover?

587
00:39:58,853 --> 00:40:00,366
- Oh, forget it.
- What?

588
00:40:00,533 --> 00:40:01,568
Just forget it.

589
00:40:06,133 --> 00:40:07,851
I knew he did it all along, you know.

590
00:40:08,013 --> 00:40:09,844
- Did you, now?
- And she was playing you.

591
00:40:10,013 --> 00:40:13,210
- Why didn't you tell me?
- You had to discover it for yourself.

592
00:40:14,213 --> 00:40:17,285
- Like Dorothy and the ruby slippers.
- Exactly.

593
00:40:18,573 --> 00:40:22,248
I had a dream once I did Dorothy.
And the Lullaby League girls.

594
00:40:23,213 --> 00:40:25,363
Do you think they're of age?

595
00:40:27,213 --> 00:40:28,487
I wouldn't know.

596
00:40:28,653 --> 00:40:32,851
- Dwarves love group sex, you know.
- I'm not listening.

597
00:40:33,013 --> 00:40:35,652
I should give Bethany a call.
