Officer calahan,
Have you ever said to yourself,
F"he just looks guilty."
- Sure.
- Arrested him?
- Yeah.
- Was he convicted?
Some were,
some weren't.
So sometimes
you were wrong.
Sometimes those
who looked guilty weren't.
Your client had
the mask and the gun in the trunk--
Yes or no?
Yes.
One last question.
How many of those acquitted
were blonde?
Elizabeth.
You mind?
Go ahead.
The same.
You got it.
You don't even know
what i'm having.
After 5 hours in a grand jury,
i don't care.
Well, i hope
it was a nice, juicy,
class "a" felony.
Matter of fact, i think you
would have liked this one.
Unfortunately, what happens
in the grand jury
Stays in the grand jury.
Well, good luck to you.
More clients for me.
The heidi bandit?
How do these people find you?
I'm just glad
that they do.
Mmm!
You know, this is nice.
Me, you.
Resting their weary souls
at the tabard.
"The tabard"?
What, diwhyou google me
and end up on a chaucer site?
Hey, i read a book
now and again.
Fast jury.
Yeah?
Be right there.
Uh-Uh.
On me.
That's so unlike you.
Zach.
I'm feeling generous.
Go get your verdict.
God.
All right. All right.
Hold on. Who is it?
God.
Mr. Angstrom?
Let me check
my driver's license.
We have a warrant
to search the premises, mr. Angstrom.
- For what?
- Wait a minute.
For what, guys?
Hey. Seriously.
She's, uh--
She's legal, by the way.
Son of a ***.
Who made
this coffee?
Uh, the thing is russell,
coffee's supposed to be hot.
You know what? Screw it.
Let's sue.
We're insured.
Put some cold water on it,
And if you trip
on the way to the sink,
Make sure you break
a rib or a collarbone.
We're talking windfall.
Don't you have a trial
to get ready for?
Free heidi.
Oh, which leads me
to, uh--
She's coming tomorrow
with a checkbook.
Guys, i got a new one.
When a lawyer dies, why do they
bury him 30 feet un fthe ground?
Ok. We'll give.
Because deep down,
they really are nice guys.
Yo, i killed
on open mike night with that.
Call annabeth. Tell her
anytime tomorrow's good.
Ok. Hey, chester.
Your old man called.
Yeah, take a message.
I did. He says
it's important.
You know at my last job,
The lawyers
all hated each other.
We're one big happy family.
Yeah, i was out of there,
As soon as
the in-House shrink
showed up.
Oh! Hey,
your bar review tutor called.
I thought you took
the bar already.
Not so loud.
Your secret's safe.
There's no secret.
Of course.
Now? But i--
Ok, so does anyone besyo me
k martin's a little too friendly?
Are you ok?
Something's come up.
I have to go.
Family?
Cover for me in court.
His name's artie flom.
He sells
christian literature.
He's wanted for operating a vehicle
under the influence.
Just stand there
and ask for adjournment.
Oh, but what if the judge won't--
It's what happens
when you pass the bar.
So act like a lawyer.
- Hey, russ.
- Hmm!
Hey, how are you
on article 9?
Uhh. It wasn't
my favorite.
Uhh, yeah. Me neither.
Well, mel kreiger
just declared bankruptcy,
And we're
his biggest creditor.
I'm sorry.
This isn't your problem.
So--So chester wants me
to fill in for him in court today.
Yeah? Congratulations.
I'm sorri'can't be there
to cheer you on.
Yeah?
Mel. You're the exact person
i need to talk to.
Yeah, i got--
I got half of that.
No. No, no, no.
That's ok.
Hey, liz.Y,
That's unbelievable
on the heidi bandit.
Yeah. You win some.
Yeah. Um, so--So chester
handed off his trial to me.
Oh. First-Time jitters?
You'll get your sea legs
after your first witness.
- Second, tops.
- I don't know, liz.
I only to give chester more
court time experience.
His loss has just
turned into your gain.
I don't think you understand.
My first time,
it was fine after i finished puking.
One--Do not eat mexican
before a trial.
And two--
Whatever happens,
You get to go home
and we get paid.
It'd be nice if you'd answer
your phone every once in a while.
Oh.
It's you who's been calling.
Liz, the cops searched
both my apartment and my office.
They had a warrant,
but they confiscated some files.
You a good lawyer.
What'd you do this time?
They said it was
something about
wiretapping,
But i'm pretty sure,
from what they seized,
It was about you.
Me? What did i do?
Well, other than making
zach williams look like
an *** in court--
Well, he is an ***,
in and out of court.
And they took
the foster case file.
Ethan foster was acquitted.
Last i looked,
double jeopardy.
Liz, listen to me.
They took the file
on patti murphy.
Better known as
juror number 7.
Sorry. I don't know him.
Never saw him in your life?
Nope.
Not that i remember.
Ok. Now during the week that
you sat as juror number 7
For the ethan foster
*** trial,
Did you visit the doctor?
The judge adjourned
early one day.
My sinuses
were killing me.
You still
don't recognize him?
His name is frank angstrom.
Sorry.
He was in dr. Boyton's office
at the same time you were.
I was sick.
I really wasn't looking
at the other patients.
Oh, he wasn't a patient.
Do you know how i know that?
Because rita--
Dr. Boyton's receptionist--
Told me so.
She said she thought
you two were there together.
Why--Why do you suppose
she would say that?
Maybe i do remember
talking to him--
Rita told our investigator
that you two left together.
Why do you want
to ruin my life?
Why are you lying
to this grand jury?
I'm married.
So you're saying
that you two were intimate.
It's the first time--
Did he tell you that he was
a private investigator
That worked for
elizabeth canterbury?
Of course not.
He did talk about
the trial with you.
I didn't even know
his real name--
Did you talk about the trial
with him, mrs. Murphy?
He wanted to know
what direction
We were leaning
in the case.
Which was?
We didn't believe
ethan foster's alibi.
So what, if anything,
unexpected happened
In the trial
the following day?
Mrs. Murphy?
If i had known, i--
No, answer the question,
mrs. Murphy.
The lawyer--
Elizabeth canterbury.
She put ethan foster
on the stand.
He said he had been lying
about his alibi all along.
So, the defendant
changed his story
After you told ms. Canterbury's
private investigator
That the jury
wasn't buying it.
Now if you're interested,
What canterbury did is called
subornation of perjury.
Steroids are
against the rules,
Which makes it cheating.
So's a spitball,
but they still put *** perry
In the hall of fame,
didn't they?
Nothing wrong with
a little cheating.
As long as you don't
get caught.
No way to live your life.
No. No, it isn't.
Unless, of course,
It's essential you win.
The problem, my friend, is
What goes around
That's a subpoena
to testify in front of a grand jury
Investigating
elizabeth canterbury.
Drink up, pal.
Next one's on me.
Yeah, he was there
with mr. Gooden.
They were definitely
having a good time.
As in, they were drinking?
It was a bar.
And it was
mr. Gooden's birthday.
Mr. Flom was celebrating
with him?
Him and 3, 4 other guys.
Do you recall what time
mr. Flom left your bar?
just going on break.
No further questions,
your honor.
Um, the defense asks
the court
To reconsider its motion
for an adjournment.
You don't give up,
do you?
No, your honor.
Neither do i.
Motion denied again.
Cross-Examine
or forever hold your peace.
Um
- W-Was mr. Flom drunk--
- Objection.
- Calls for a conclusion.
- Sustained.
Was he acting odd--
- Objection.
- Sustained.
Did--Did any
of the other customers
complain--
Objection.
Calls for hearsay.
Sustained.
That's strike 3,
counselor.
Was mr. Flom acting
any differently
Than he's acted on any of
the other occasions
When you served him
drinks?
I--I watch a lot
of law and order.
You might want
to consider going pro se, mr. Flom.
Any objection,
mr. Klein?
- I object.
- Congratulations.
Your tuition wasn't
a complete waste.
Hey! Look who's here.
My reason for getting up
in the morning.
Henry. Come here.
Shake hands
with my son.
- Hi. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
Summa *** laude
at howard you.
Top 2% of his class
at georgetown law.
Small class.
Listen, be good
to him, henry.
He's on the road
to judge.
I'm in a rush, dad.
Mover and a shaker.
Come on.
Come in.
Don't you ever
get tired of that?
No, i don't.
Yeah, well, i'we
supposed to be in court,
So i'd appreciate--
A successful man kibitzes--
Good-Bye.
Your boss is about
to self-Destruct.
Listen, in my position,
i hear things.
Zach williams is presenting
to the grand jury,
As we speak.
- For what?
- I don't know.
Something to do
with that ethan foeter case.
Canterbury's going down,
And everybody around her
is going along for the ride.
Listen.
I can make a call,
get you in at merriweaterr marx.
You never give up,
do you?
I'm sorry
you can't brag about me
To the boys at the club,
But this is my life--
Excuse me.
But even a rat knows when it's time
to haul his butt overboard.
It true?
What are
we talking about?
Damn it, russell,
this is my future, too.
So liz is being investigated
by a grand jury?
It's an old ag trick,
you know?
Put fear
into the defense bar,
Try and keep 'em
in line.
Besides, i second seated liz
on the ethan foster case.
Do i look worried?
No, you don't.
But i didn't mention
the ethan foster case.
Nice!
'61 haut brion.
It's not our anniversary.
We're celebrating
your verdict.
It was all over
the news.
To kicking butt.
Thank you.
Free heidi.
Now,
I want to talk about something,
and i want you to think about it
Before you react.
You got tickets
to the yankee-Sox game?
No, i'm trying
to be serious.
You got me those p tses
to the designer trunk show?
Forget it.
Oh, honey, come on.
I'm just screwing with you.
You know i'm game
for anything.
Oh.
Sorry.
We can't go on
Ignoring the pink elephant
in the room, beth.
I know.
You're right.
I want to have
a funeral for sam.
He's not coming home.
Anwithout
giving up hope,
We have to accept that
and try to move on.
Some maniac
took our son, matt.
Where exactly do you propose
we move on to?
All right.
Forget i brought it up.
Look, i knokhat
you're trying to do.
But having some phony ritual
isn't going to make us forget--
It's not a phony ritual.
Oh, baby. Time.
That's all we need,
is time.
What we need ie to stop jumping
every time the phone rings.
See? I'm not jumping.
Just promise me you'll leave
that phone home thursday night.
Just me in my skimpiest.
Maybe it won't be
so horrible.
Oh, come on.
We'll have fun.
Besides, i like
being scrutinized.
Yes.
I noticed.
I'll be
the perfect little wife.
(You miss a call.
Frank angstrom)
I won't testify.
He'll nail you
for contempt.
I'll lie.
Ask scooter libby how well
that worked out for him.
You just love this,
don't you?
Coming in on your white horse,
saving the damsel in distress.
Actually, i just love
being thanked.By you.
You know, the ethan foster case
was the first time i've ever--
You know, you don't have
to explain to me.
You did what you had to do.
Even if they realize
that he's lying,
You still can't prove
that she put him up to it.
Res ipsa loquiter--
The thing does not
speak for itself.
Canterbury finds out
from frank
That her horse is
stuck in the gate.
She jumps on another one
midstream.
Yeah, but you still can't prove
That she sent frank
to go seduce a juror.
I'm just getting started.
When did ms. Canterbury
decide to let you testify,
Mr. Foster?
It was my idea.
Oh, of course it was.
Of course it was.
But she did tell you
what to say, didn't she?
Right? Mr. Foster?
I told the truth.
When you testified
That scott jasper's father
beat him?
That's right.
So what you're saying
Is that
your mom and dad lied
When they signed statements
under oath,
Saying that you were asleep
the night of the murders.
It would be wonderful,
Wouldn't it, mr. Foster,
If you could have it
both ways?
Thanks.
Here you go.
Mmm.
Bribing a public official.
Oh, better empanel
a grand jury.
You know i can't say anything, russell.
I think you just did.
Look, if it were up to me--
How bad is it?
I shouldn't be talking to you.
Oh, right. 2 old friends talking.
Rmer colleagues.
Zach might indict us.
Zach is zach.
Nobody knows that
better than you,right, katie?
Look, what do you want from me?
You know zach's not going
to overlook 2 felony counts.
Canterbury's his golden goose.
Katie. 2 felonies?
You didn't hear that from me.
Done.
How bad?
It's really bad.
Buy me lunch.
I'm just going to say this.
I'm being investigated
by the grand jury. J
- I know.
- So do i.
Well, aren't i the jerk?
Oh, well,at least one of us
is earning her keep.
Look, it's not like
i shot anyone.
Zach williams just thinks i crossed
the line in the ethan foster case.
Ok, i did.
But it was only to prevent ethan foster
From going to prison for the rest of
his life for something he didn't do.
And if you must know,
I would do the exact
same thing again tomorrow.
He can't prove anything,right?
Well, ok, then.
It's not the end of the world.
I mean, sure, an indictment's bad,
but it's a long way from conviction.
I'll start researching
a motion to dismiss tomorrow.
Uh, excuse me,but you
have a trial to finish.
What can i say?
Artie flom likes you.
I've already started
drafting the papers.
Look,
If anyone wants to bail,
i will totally understand.
It's a lot worse than you think.
Don't worry. I will testify under oath
That you had no idea what i was doing.
Oh, sure, why not add a perjury
count to the indictment?
Ok, you're angry. I get it.
And
If i were you, i would resign and
get as far away from me as you can.
That's right.Cause i'm just a
flunky with a degree on the wall
Who's on a need to know basis.
- You know what pisses me off?
- What?
You think i would just
turn my back, abandon you.
You think it's my own
*** i'm worried about.
This isn't about a rap
on the knuckles,russell.
I'm looking at jail time.
You had nothing to do with it.
We're partners!
We share profits and expenses.
We didn't sign some
kind of blood oath.
So if i were the one
being investigated?
You're not!
This is my problem.
And i will deal with it.
Isn't it true,ms.Canterbury,
That frank angstrom's been your private
investigator for the last 3 years?
Leave, russell.
Frank angstrom was working
on the ethan foster case.
Correct?
Tell me, how would a file
containing personal information
On one of the jurors--
Which, by the way,
contained your handwriting--
Wind up in mr. Angstrom's office?
You always instruct your private
investigators to sleep with jurors?
What?
Look, i don't care what your
personal relationship is with frank.
What is that supposed to mean?
Like i said, this is a lot
worse than you think.
Oh, god.
Anderson controls,
not shapiro.
Unless, of course,
you're out in california.
Nobody knows whatthe loony birds
out there will do.
Since it is likely
that more of you
Will end up as criminals
than criminal lawyers.
It's a good idea
to learn this stuff either way.
Now for next week,
i want 3 cases.
Ok? 3 cases.
Class dismissed.
What's up?
Matt, i think i might
have really screwed up.
What? What,is something wrong?
What? What's wrong?
Yeah, i, um,
well, you kn--
You know, the, um, the black
dress with the little frills?
Um--I forgot to take
it to the cleaner,
And--And, um,there's wine
all down the front of it.
So?
You'll wear the one
you wore to casey's wedding.
I just want tomorrow
night to work out for you.
Thank you.
That's very sweet.
What the hell are you doing?
Just paying my bill.
Oh, no. It's illegal for me to take proceeds
from a criminal act as compensation.
Hello? You got me off,
remember?
I'm innocent.
Ergo, this can't be proceeds of a crime.
Don't you love latin?
I didn't prove you innocent.
I proved you not guilty.
Oh, you say tomato--
And i got you off
because the cops screwed up.
Well, looks like someone's
grown a set of scruples.
Excuse me?
Come on. You took my case.
You had to know--
That the cops violated your rights
By searching your trunk
without probable cause.
And if i let it slide for you,
That might be a free
pass for them to do it
To someone who's
actually innocent.
What about my false arrest
suit against the city?
- Good-Bye.
- But you said that--
Get out.
I am done with you. Go.
Martin!
Martin!
- Hey.
- I need molly.Where is she?
Oh, she's at her,
uh, bar review class.
What?
What? Oh-- Afternoon mass.
Oh, my god.
Drinks are on me when we win.
No, when i get my car back
from the impound,
We'll open up
the 25-Year-Old single malt.
It was in your car?
Oh, no,
it's not what you think.
The bottle was a birthday
present for my boss--
Right. And it was
in your car.
Yeah, i was going to give it
to him in the morning.
Molly?
Go to the men's room.
- I don't have to.
- Just go.
Look,before you fire me,
i think we can win this.
Officer benson, what time
does your tour typically end?
That would be midnight.
So why on that particular night,
Did you clock out
at 12 minutes past 1:00?
Oh, trust me.I already
spoke to your desk sergeant.
Tell me this.
Did you search my client's
car after you arrested him?
Yes.
Did you make an inventory list?
- Of course.
- Is, uh
- Is this it?
- Yeah.
Was there any alcohol listed here?
All the *** in that car was
in your client.
That when mr. Flom
left the bar that night,
He went to regal
liquor down the block
And purchased a $200
bottle of scotch.
I'd tell him the $10
bottle works just as good.
Funny.Isn't it true
that you and your partner
Took that $200 bottle
from mr. Flom's car?
- No.
- Isn't it true that you
and your partner
Sat in your squad car
and drank my client's scotch,
And that's whyyou clocked in
- Over an hour late that night?
- I said no.
What was your blood alcohol
level that night, officer,
As you cruised the streets
of providence?
- I didn't take--
- No? Well, where's the bottle?
The only difference between you
and my client is you have a badge.
- Objection.
- Sustained.
The state requests that
your honor instruct the jury
To disregard all testimony regarding
this $200 bottle of scotch
As there is no evidence
that it ever existed.
Fine.
Then we'll we wait.
Are you done with this
witness, counselor?
Oh, no.Not by a long shot.
We'll continue
when mr. Flom's assistant arrives
With a time-Stamped receipt
from regal liquor.
I don't see what relevance.
It was purchased at 10:27
the night of the arrest.
arrested my client.
Since it isn't
on the inventory list,
That leaves 3 possibilities.
One--Mr. Flom drank
the entire bottle of scotch
In under 8 minutes
which is highly unlikely
Because if he had,
he'd be dead.
Or two--
Mr. Flom tossed the bottle
of scotch out the car window
When officer benson
signaled for him to pull over,
Also unlikely because "a",
A good cop would have seen it,
And "b", $200 is $200.
You said there were
Officer benson isn't just a liar.
He's also a thief and a drunk.
Hey.
Oh, am i that predictable?
Superstitious might be
a better word.
That's the worst part
of trying a case.
When there's nothing
left to do.
Yeah.
Listen, about molly--
I'll just assume you didn't know.
- But how'd you know--
- My old man.
Let me guess.
He advised you to cut and run.
Hey, i don't listen to his advice.
Way i see it,
you did what you had to do.
That's why we play
the game,right?To win.
First off, ethan foster
didn't kill anyone.
Second, a criminal trial
is not about the lawyers.
Really? What is it about?
I'm going to give you a hint.
Starts with a "j".
You can't even say it.
Liz, with all due respect,but justice?
If anyone gave a damn about justice,
We wouldn't have exclusionary
rules and privileges.
Hell, we wouldn't have
any rules of evidence at all.
The notion of justice is a fiction,
a rationalization of what
The criminal justice system
is really serving.
Which is?
The attorney's ego.
You think zach williams gives a damn
Whether or not ethan foster
was put in prison or not?
He could care less.
His only concern is
that he lost and you won.
And do i think for a minute
you may have suborned perjury
Because you wanted
to serve the greater good?
- Please--
- Don't make me fire you, chester.
Hey, it why i wanted
to work for you.
And i thought you just wanted
to stick it to the old man.
I like winning.
I crave it. I need it.
I'm just like you, boss.
Oh.
I assure you we have less
in common than you think.
Hmm.
So why'd you hire me?
There's all kinds
of diversity, chester.
Yeah?
Have you reached a verdict?
We have.
On the sole count of operating
a vehicle under the influence,
We find the defendant,
arthur s. Flom, not guilty.
Thank you.
Thank you.
When i was 12,i, um,came in second
in the city-Wide spelling bee.
Prerogative.Left out an "r".
My dad was sitting there with
all his friends and i screwed up.
I locked myself in my room for
My mom had to leave
my dinner by the door.
Next year, i won.
Look, i don't fail, liz.
I'm just not good at it.
I would have locked myself
in my room,
But it's just not
that simple anymore.
We could have been sued.
I know.
I know. I'm sorry.
Can i ask you something?
Yesterday in court,
that whole liquor store receipt thing?
What would you have done
if the judge called your bluff
Deny, deny, deny.
Yeah, flom was guilty,
so what's the difference, right?
Maybe guilt is relative.
God, i hope so.
I'm going to pack up my desk.
Hey. If putting this firm
in jeopardy was the standard,
I would have been out of here
a long time ago.
You know, there's a lot of
great lawyers in this country
That failed the bar the first time.
There waswhatshisname.
You know, and, um
Oh, and, uh
Go home.
Just get rest.
It's a matter of substantive
due process,that's why.
Oh, when was the last time
anyone took griswold seriously?
Exactly my point.
And lawrence vs. Texas?
Forget about it.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Just this morning at breakfast,
Matt was saying
how the entire court
Should take a remedial class
in the fifth amendment.
I believe i said it was
the 14th amendment.
Oh, that's right. You did.
I do that all the time.
Well, you could have said the fifth.
Ha. The missus.
She's a keeper, matthew.
- Ha ha. Yes.
- Excuse me.
I know.
Thank god.
I was running out of cases.
I've been wanting to say hello
to you all night, elizabeth.
I mean, ms. Canterbury.
This is carly o'keefe.
One of my better students.
Working my way through law school.
Oh, good for you.
It can't be--
I feel like i know you.
Matthew discusses your cases
and trial techniques.
The winners, i hope.
From what i hear,
you hardly ever lose.
Mmm. I'm blushing.
I'll get you another drink.
Well, thank you.
- She's a good kid. Very bright.
- Is she?
Matthew?
Matthew.
in dublin's fair city
where the girls are so pretty
You owe me big time, fella.
Yes, i do.
Oh, why don't we go upstairs?
We can pretend we got lost.
You asked the chairman
of the board of trustees
To come back here
for a nightcap.
Yeah, but wouldn't
you rather get naked,
Go 3 rounds under the sheets,
you know?
You can tell him-- Just tell
him that he had a fantastic time,
And he'll never know
the difference.
No, come on.
Fine.
Matthew.
Not now, beth.
Didn't know i was saying anything.
Come on in!
I, um, know you were
just trying to help.
Heroes with clay feet.
Hard to take.
She's hardly my hero.
You turned down a job
With a major firmin boston.
Spending my life dotting is and
crossing ts on 200-Page contracts--
Sure. That's it.
Let's not dwell on past mistakes.
I'll merriweather marx first thing.
I wouldn't be surprised
if they've doubled your salary overnight.
I'm not leaving canterbury,dad.
Then what are we doing here?
I was thinking maybe
you could pull some of those strings
You're always talking about to
get the ag off of liz's back.
Why would i do that?
Because i asked.
In the real world, son,
When somebody scratches my back
Sooner or later,
they're going to show up at my office,
With their shirt off.
Did you know that
rhode island is the only state
That calls a d.U.I.An o.U.I.?
- Thank you.
- Kind of funny,don't you think?
I mean, have you ever met a frenchman
That didn't say "oui" to another drink?
You should be on the faculty.
Nah.Real world doesn't scare me.
Oh, no, sir.Nothing scares my beth.
As long as she can deny it afterwards.
I've been begging wallace
To give up his practice
and teach.
No way.I need the action.
Boston, new york.
Oh, i'm sure there's plenty
of action in the law school.
Matthew,
Would you like
to enlighten us on that topic?
He's adorable.
How old is he?
- Um--
- Sam's eight.
Looks just like matt,doesn't he?
Beth.
In the eyes.
Yes, i see it.
Oh, he's strong,too.
He's going to be a rugby player.
Tell 'em how--
How strong he is, honey.
I played rugby.
I knew it!
You don't have to worry about our sam.
That boy can
take care of himself.
Would you like to meet him?
That's, uh, not a good idea.
He's, uh
He needs his sleep.
Do you think you'll have more?
- Yes.
- No way.
Well, as you can see,
we're, uh--
We're discussing it.
Well, why would we want another one?
"May god be praised for women
"That give up all her mind,
"A man in no man may find
A friendship of her kind."
Give an irishmana whiskey,
Yeats starts pouring out.
- Why is that?
- Well, i know i'm impressed.
He was a cad,that w.B.
Mm-Mmm. Married to a babe,
And he was running around with
What's her name?
Carly!
Maude gonne.
You see, his marriage
was a complete farce.
Wow. Happens to the best
of us, doesn't it?
Yeah, whose fault
is that, my dear?
Hey,do you know
Just before you got here,
I asked matthew to
take me upstairs--
You see, beth has had
a little bit too much--
And at least pretend to be a husband.
Haven't you, sweetheart?
Sandy,is it always this bleak?
- I think we should go.
- Oh, no!
Oh, no! We're having fun!
This was great. It's great.
Let's do this again sometime.
- Good night.
- I apologize
Great. Just great.
Good night.
Oh, that was priceless.
Great.
So you'll get a real job.
Thanks, beth.
I happen to like teaching.
Of course you do.
It's nice and safe.
Shut up, and give me a break.
At least i didn't give up.
Dr. Freud.
Know what?
You're drunk and pathetic.
Why don't you go to bed?
Well,it was your girlfriend
who kept filling my glass.
Well, kudos to you,sweetheart.
You've attained the state of
martyrdom reserved for cuckolds.
No, wait. I'm a cuckold.
Literally speaking,that is.
It's--It is a gender thing.
You want to talk about infidelity?
Let's talk about frank.
Yeah, that's right.
Frank angstrom.
Oh, yeah?
Well, what about
your little
"I'm just working my
way through law school"?
I mean, really. Matt.
How does it feel to be such a cliche?
Well, maybe if we had more
than drunken, sloppy sex
Once every 5 or 6 weeks--
Well, you know what?
What's the point?
I'm going to bed.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
Just walk away.
It's what you do best.
Oh, and by the way--
I was sober with frank.
Oh, yeah?
Of course you were.Yeah.
Because that makes it
especially demeaning.
You know what the
good thing is, beth?
I don't really care anymore.
I don't.
Why don't you just say it?
- What?
- Why don't you just say it?
Just say what you have been dying
to say to me for the past 3 years?
It's so typical.
You talk this great game
About pink elephants being in the room.
But when push comes to shove--
It's your fault!
He was with you!
It's your fault.
You were with him!
What were you doing?
What kind of a mother is
too preoccupied with herself
That she couldn't keep an eye on
her own baby boy?
There.
Said it.
Happy now?
No more, beth.
Because we're finished.
Will you stop wiggling?
Ok. Mmm.
Stop wiggling.
You smell like coconuts.
Oh, i love coconut. Mmm.
Mom, stop tickling me.
Ok. Go ahead. Go play.
Be brave. Go ahead.
I'm watching.
Canterbury.
Ok. What? When?
Sam?
Sam?
She's dead.
Remind me never to *** you off.
Especially when it involves a felony.
Oh, mountains and molehills,zach.
Defendant lied.Whoopdie-Do.
Happens every day.
Twice a day in *** cases.
Except this time,
canterbury told him to lie.
What happened?
You get fresh,she slap your face?
It's not personal.
She broke the law.
Oh, come on.
Give me a break.
She won. You lost.
You don't like it.
Now you're all upset.
You're tense.
Come on.
Don't get all worked up.
I mean, get worked up, but
Not about her.
You're wrong. Kate, you're wrong.
Russell crouse.
What about him?
He was canterbury's
second chair in the foster case.
The man practically sleeps with the
canons of ethics underneath his pillow.
There is no way he would be
involved in any legal hanky panky.
You know that better than anyone.
Matt.
Are you elizabeth canterbury?
Yes.
Could you step outside,please?
