Season 1, episode 2 Parks: I did not exceed 60, this I can say with absolute certainty. Bobby: How can you be so sure of that, Mr. Parks? Parks: Well, first off, I have two small children and, uh, I am not in the habit of driving at excessive speeds. But second, I just picked up a cup of coffee. Now I customarily put my coffee in the little holder on the door. Bobby: And how is that relevant? Parks: Well it’s relevant in that my car shimmies if I go over 55, and coffee would have been splattering everywhere. Now I’m sure that the officer is conscientious in his job but on this occasion he was mistaken. Bobby: Thank you. DA: Did you uh say anything to the officer when he issued the citation? Bobby: Hearsay. Judge: Hey! Traffic court! DA: What did you say to Officer Grote, Mr. Parks? Parks: Well, I was upset at being unjustly cited and in addition, he was making me late for work, so I likely communicated my annoyance. DA: Did you tell him Alan Dirschowitz was your lawyer and he would prove that all cops are trained to lie under oath? Parks: I don’t believe I said he was my personal attorney. DA: Did you call Officer Grote a pus infected donkey with the moral fiber of a disposable douche? Parks: I don’t...that’s something of a non-secular. I don’t think I would have said that. DA: Well, did you opine that the reason women and children were being raped and killed was because fat donkeys like him were too busy pinching speeders when they should be fighting serious crime? Parks: I am a tax payer. I have a right to my opinion. Bobby: Is any of this at all relevant? Judge: No. Guilty. See probation. Next case. Parks: Pay you!? Why the hell should I pay you? Bobby: This is my third appearance. Parks: Yeah, and you’re 0 for 3. What kind of squathead do you think I am? Bobby: I’m getting a little sick of you. Parks: Oh, so you’re sick? So go puke. Listen, I’m the client, maybe your only one. Bobby: I’ll garnish your wages. Parks: I’ll give you something to garnish! Bobby: Taxi. Parks: Hey, how you doing jumbo? Go get that donut, huh? Garnish my wages? Driver: Where to? Bobby: I just want to turn a corner. Driver: Don’t we all? Judge: A TRO for what? Eugene: To keep him away. Given the history of physical abuse in his… Colson: What history? There’s no documented proof that he’s… Eugene: I like to talk in whole sentences. Judge: There’s been no suggestion of abuse in the pleadings. Eugene: That’s because were in no fault, plus which for the sake of the kid… Colson: Kids, kids. Stop using the kid as **. Is it in the best interest of the kid to restrain his father? Eugene: Permission to smack him, judge. Colson: Hey! Don’t intimidate me! Judge: Mr. Colson, why don’t you let Mr. Young say what he has to say before squealing like a distressed little pig? Would that be acceptable? Colson: Fine. Eugene: We didn’t allege violence because we hoped that this wouldn’t get ugly. Judge: Mm, and now? Eugene: It’s ugly. Colson: Your honor, divorced couples typically behave in an antagonistic manner towards each other and it does not behoove this court to intervene by issuing rash restraining orders… Eugene: How long do these people… Colson: Excuse me. Now who’s interrupting me? Eugene: I was behooved? Colson: Shut up! Judge: Mr. Colson! Colson: Your Honor, he does this on purpose. He goes to get my goat. And he gets it. He gets it every time. Judge: I understand. Mr. Young, I’m not going to allow your client to revise the facts. The pleadings will speak for themselves. Eugene: He keeps physically threatening her and you won’t allow it? Judge: Mr. Colson, instruct your client to stop with the threats and intimidation, otherwise the TRO will issue and he will not see his child. Bailiff: Commonwealth versus Kenneth Hanks, unlawful possession with intent to distribute controlled substances. Ellenor: We'll waive reading....what’s left of it. Plead not guilty. I’d ask the court for a probable cause hearing. Judge: You ready this afternoon? Ellenor: Uh...sure. Judge: See if you can get the officer in. DA: All right. Ellenor: Great. Ellenor: Oh Lindsay! Lindsay: Busy. Ellenor: Oh come on! One little probable cause hearing. You’ll be done in an hour. Lindsay: Sorry, I’m fighting the tobacco industry this week. Ellenor: No, no, no. You’re the exclusionary queen here and I need you. I’ve got cocaine, vehicle search… Lindsay: Oh, you know what, Ellie? My mother’s birthday was Sunday and I promised her I wouldn’t put any crackheads back on the streets this week, otherwise I... Ellenor: That’s very cute, very, very cute. But I’m serious about this. I think we have grounds. And it’s extra 5 for us if we squash it really fast. Rebecca: Ellenor? Ellenor: Yeah? Rebecca: Do you know anything about this “single, white, female, attorney, 30…” Ellenor: Where did you get this? Rebecca: It was on the computer. Ellenor: Oh, oh, yeah, no, I, I have a client who’s suing a dating service. I was just...uh...you know, typing all the evidence into a file. Rebecca: Oh. Ellenor: What oh? What, do you think you know like every minor detail that goes on in this office? Rebecca: Evidently not. Bobby: We’re shutting down the practice. Get your resumes out there. I’ll try to string out 3 more weeks. Rebecca: Yes, fine. You have a suppression hearing scheduled in 12 minutes. Bobby: You see this? Huh? Eviction notice! These are the kinds of things that happen when you can’t make the rent, which is the kind of thing you can’t make when clients don’t pay. Are we anywhere close to settlement on the tobacco case? Tell me. Lindsay: Hah! Bobby: Right. Rebecca: We’re shutting down again. Eugene: Oh that’s nice. Anything decaf for me? Bobby: I’m serious. I’ve had it. We can’t keep juggling like this. Eugene: You haven’t had it. Don’t tell me you’ve had it when you haven’t had it! I’ve had it with you being had it! Rebecca: Eugene, Ruth Gibson. It’s trouble. Ruth: Made out he was looking for social security card, said he had to look everywhere. Couldn’t leave until he found it. Eugene: Did he touch you? Ruth: No. But…Oh God. Eugene : Hey son, Peter pan...I always liked him. Michael: I’m Robin Hood Eugene: Right...uh how long was he here? Ruth: Long enough to do all this, and look, he stabbed it. Eugene: Uh...What? Ruth: My cervical cap. He put a kitchen knife through it. Eugene: All right. We’re going back to court. Can I keep this? Ruth: It won’t be doing me much good. Eugene: Keep your doors locked, use your deadbolt. I’ll have somebody pick you up Everything’s ok Mike. Michael: What if he hurts us? Eugene: I’m going to make sure that won’t happen. Bobby: Now listen to me Lyle, whatever happens, you stay completely calm. Lyle: Well, how’s it going to go? Bobby: We’ll make our arguments. When the DA is making hers, you stay quiet, Lyle. Then after, the judge will either make his ruling or take it under advisement, probably the latter. Lyle: Will we win? Bobby: We should. And if we suppress the video tape, you’re home free. It’s their whole case. The victim couldn’t make you, so without the tape...that’s why we stay completely calm. Judge: I find the evidence to be admissible. Bobby: Your honor, given the inflammatory nature of that video tape, I don’t even know how… Judge: It shows what he did, counsel. Putting a gun to the temple of a person, an elderly person, robbing a grocery store. That’s what’s inflammatory. Bobby: Your honor, if the jury views that tape, they might… Judge: They might get an idea of what actually happened, God forbid. The tape is admitted. Lyle: You son of a bitch! You don't care what you're doing. You don’t give a damn! Judge: Put him back in lockup! Bobby: Your honor, now we ask you that you recuse yourself given my client’s attack on your safety. Judge: I am not recusing myself, counsel. And I’m sure your client is very distraught and I promise to be understanding. I’ll consider him misunderstood. Trial set for Wednesday next. We’ve adjourned. Rebecca: So are you ever going to tell me? Ellenor: Tell you what? Rebecca: About our new client, the one placing the personal ad. Ellenor: Lawyer-Client privilege. Rebecca: Ellenor, there is nothing wrong with it. Ellenor: I know. There’s…uh…there's nothing wrong with not wanting to talk about it either. It’s...uh...it’s embarrassing. Rebecca: My best friend met her husband that way. I was thinking about it too. It’s no big deal. Ellenor: Rebecca, it’s embarrassing. Okay? Lindsay: Why am I here? Bobby: I told you, to help me get this loan. This guy’s a buddy of mine. Lindsay: This you told me. I asked why am I here… Bobby: Sh. Just don’t worry. Hey Jimmy! Jimmy: 70 thousand?! Bobby: I'm doing 90. With the usurious rates you got… Jimmy: Come on. Cut me a small break, do ya? Bobby: Hello Jimmy! Do I ask for much? Jimmy: You ask all the time Bobby. I give like a cow. I’m growing udders here. Bobby: We’re very close to settling a wrongful death against TL Michaels. My associate here, Lindsay Dole, is handling the case. Jimmy: Do I look like I’ve got a brain tumor? You think I think you’re going to squeeze a tobacco company? I’m not as stupid as he thinks. Bobby: Things are changing. We’ll settle Jimmy: Even if you got half a mill, which you won’t, that’s 150 on the contingency. Divided by costs, fees for effort, you’d be lucky to even clear 70, much less pay it back. Bobby: What, you’re the legal expert now? Maybe I should throw you the case. Jimmy: I know what their thing is worth. I used to be a lawyer, remember? Bobby: A terrible lawyer? Jimmy, you never won a case! Jimmy: Suck up to me, that’ll help. Lindsay: Excuse me, are you two related? Bobby: No, just friends. So I thought. Jimmy: And this tobacco case, I looked at the file claims. The victim never had an autopsy… Bobby: The lesion was caused by vascular disease, caused by smoking. There's a new craze jimmy, it’s called reading. Jimmy: I read! You have no experts just the doctor… Bobby: Maybe you should try comprehending what's right in front of you. Lindsay: Hey! What is going on here? Jimmy: He’s asking me to loan out on a dog, that’s what’s going on. Bobby: Forget it. Alright Jimmy? Forget it! Judge: I am still loathe to issuing a restraining order. Eugene: How can you be loathe? He vandalized her house. He threatened her again. He stabbed her diaphragm with a kitchen knife. Look at this! Judge: Can I see that? I have seen a diaphragm before. My wife has one. But this looks like a thimble. He stabbed a rubber thimble! Are you trying to confuse this court? Colson: Your honor, uh, I believe that is a cervical cap. It’s different from a diaphragm. Judge: How? Colson: Well a cervical cap is… Eugene: What difference does it make? He stabbed the thing. It’s just lucky she wasn’t wearing it at the time. Colson: Your honor, Mr. Gibson has promised to seek therapy. He feels deep remorse for… Eugene: Deep remorse? He doesn’t feel the slightest thing. He's deranged. He's dangerous. He represents a significant threat to my client's safety... Judge: Quiet please. Does your client wish to press charges on the vandalism? Eugene: What good would that do? Judge: Listen, you gotta show imminent threat of bodily harm. Eugene: Do I have to drag her in here in a body bag for you to find against… Judge: Hey. Are you going to hurt her? Gibson: Absolutely 100% No. Judge: Mr. Young, show me a bruise. Come in with a couple of stitches. Something more than a punctured cervical cap! Now, Mr. Gibson, you go in that house without an invitation, its trespassing. Gibson: It’s my place too. Judge: No it isn’t. You stay out. I’ve just been waiting for a chance to paste you. I don’t think you want to give it to me. Lyle: 6 years? Bobby: If we can get it. Armed robbery, you could get life. 6 would be a great result, trust me. Lyle: For who? For you? So you don’t gotta look at me no more? Bobby: What’s your problem, Lyle? Lyle: My problem is I don’t trust you. You were assigned to this case. I’m just a piece of snot you want to blow out your left nostril and be done with. Bobby: Hey don’t flatter yourself, alright? You put a gun to an 80 year old lady’s head. If my snot was up to your level, I’d be on antibiotics and you can trust that. You wanna fire me? Please do. But as long as I’m assigned to your ass, I have an ethical obligation to present you with your best legal options, which is what I’m doing. I haven’t even got it down to 6 years yet. You should only be so lucky. Lindsay: Excuse me, it’s 20 past. Ellenor: We’re not going till half past. Lindsay: Well it might be nice to have some hint of the facts before… Ellenor: Ok, look, we’ve got vehicle search with a container in the trunk. You’ve done this in your sleep, Lindsay. Lindsay: So why can’t you take care of it? Ellenor: I just don’t have your gift for constitutional analysis. Lindsay: You owe me. Ellenor: I owe ya. Trimble: I observed the vehicle to be weaving in an erratic manner. I suspected the driver to be under the influence of alcohol or other substances and I pulled him over. DA: And when you went to the car? Trimble: I smelled a slight odor of marijuana and I saw some marijuana seeds on the consul. DA: Mm. And what did you do then Officer Trimble? Trimble: I placed the suspect under arrest and I searched the vehicle, incident to the arrest. That’s when I found the cocaine in the trunk of the vehicle. DA: Were there any other occupants in this vehicle sir? Trimble: No, there were not. DA: And did you check the registration on this vehicle sir? Trimble: I did. The defendant was listed as the owner. DA: thank you. Lindsay: You pulled him over on suspicion of DUI? Trimble: That is correct. Lindsay: And you detected a slight odor of marijuana? Trimble: Yes I did. Lindsay: Which told you what? Trimble: That he had probably just finished smoking some marijuana. Lindsay: Then you opened the trunk, saw the briefcase? Trimble: That's correct. Lindsay: And you opened the briefcase, discovering cocaine? Trimble: Yes. Lindsay: Is that what you were looking for? Cocaine? Trimble: This was just a general search. Incident to the arrest. Lindsay: So you didn’t say to yourself when you smelled the pot “Boy we’ve got a big drug dealer here”? Trimble: No, I did not. Lindsay: It was kind of innocent search? You were surprised to find the cocaine? Trimble: I was not looking to find cocaine. That is correct. Lindsay: And when you opened that container, did you say “Oh MY!” DA: Objection! Lindsay: Withdrawn. Nothing further. Judge: Witness may step down. Ellenor: So what do you think? Lindsay: What do we know about this judge? Ellenor: Well, Dukakis appointed him. He’s a strict constructionist. Lindsay : Can we conference, your honor? Lindsay: He had no right to go into the trunk. Wimberly versus Superior Court distinguishes casual users from drug dealers. This officer’s testimony was clear. He concluded my client was smoking pot in the car. Casual use. That entitles him to search the car, but not the trunk. DA: First of all, she’s citing a Californian case. Californian judges themselves are casual users. Lindsay: Funny. You want more precedents? US versus Nielsen, 10th circuit, 1993. Officer smelled burnt marijuana. Car search okay, trunk not okay. US versus Seals, 5th Circuit. And here you really wobble. He not only went into the trunk, he opened a container. Chadwick? We’ve all read that one. DA: You want me to reel off all the cases saying that the search is constitutional? Coz I can do that. Judge: No, no, no. Uh...I don’t. Look, I’ve been cut back to one law clerk and I’m not going to waste two weeks of her time researching this pimple. I’ll certify it to appeals. You can draft your briefs, go upstairs and argue it if that’s what you really want to do. But on such a small amount of coke, I hardly think it’s worth the time. Ellenor: So, what then? Judge: Well, let’s plead him to the mis. on the marijuana, also uh plead guilty to the DUI. I’ll uh continue the cocaine charge without a finding for a year. If he’s a good boy, then the count will be dropped altogether. DA: I’m not thrilled about junking a cocaine possession. Judge: I understand, but let’s be real. Even Scalea might squirm on this one. You did no blood tests by the way, so you could even have trouble with the marijuana. DA: Fine. Whatever. Ellenor: No, that’s fine. Judge: Go and be good citizens. Ellenor: Unbelievable! For somebody who hates criminal law, you’re pretty good at it. Lindsay: Gee thanks. Ellenor: I guess whatever pays, right? Ellenor: Ah, Ben Baby. How’s my favorite Clerk doing today? Ben: Tired. Ellenor: Listen, I’ve got an ex-party. We’re trying to garnish a deadbeat’s wages. Can you slip it to Wilkes? He’s sitting in third. Ben: Legit? Ellenor: Yeah, very. Martin Parks. You remember the stiff in the trademark injunction? Ben: Oh...oh...yes. Ellenor: Bobby’s been in 3 times, last time traffic court. Guy hasn’t coughed up a quarter. Ben: Okay I’ll take care of it Ellenor: Here sweetheart. Thanks. Oh, oh, oh! By the way, Lyle Roberts, armed robbery, we're trying to comp. to 6. DA is Susan Alexander. Can you give her a sniffer to see if she’ll wiggle? Lindsay: What was that? Ellenor: Me doing my part. Now it's your turn to do yours. Lindsay: Excuse me? Ellenor: Look, Susan Alexander. We’ve been working her to get Lyle Roberts cut down to 6 years. Now but Bobby says she’s more responsive to female attorneys, except for me because we don’t get along. But she is going to love you. Lindsay: Lyle Roberts. Ellenor: Yeah, armed robbery. Lindsay: You’re going to owe me again. Ellenor: Uh nope, Bobby’s going to owe you on this one. Bobby: You...you owe me, okay? This is pay day, Jimmy. This...on the piper...I’m standing right here. Jimmy: No, no, no, no, no! You want me fired? Bobby: You’re not going to get fired, because you’re creative and you’re talented. Jimmy: The doors are closing, aren’t they? Bobby: I’ve had better months. Jimmy: You still got those blue prints? You know, for taking over the empty space next to you. Bobby: Yeah, somewhere. Jimmy: Dust them off. I can’t loan out on this tobacco case but...uh...I’ll give you a construction loan for office expansion. Bobby: The space next to us is no longer empty. Jimmy: I never heard that. Bobby: I never said it. Jimmy: Seventy, not a nickel more. It’s a point over prime and you pay this. Bobby: Thank you. THANK YOU Jimmy: Why do you keep doing this? I mean you could go to any firm you want. Ropes, Goodwin, Sullivan, they’d gobble. Take on a nice fat paycheck. You don’t have to keep looking over your shoulder for creditors or clients who are looking to kill you. Bobby: Maybe I like looking over my shoulder. Jimmy: I’ve been listening to your dream for 7 years and you ain’t a step closer. Bobby: I can get back to dreaming tomorrow. Today I’ve got people counting on me. I’ve got associates looking to be paid. I can’t pay them. I can’t. Rebecca: Eugene, she’s advertising in the personals, how could she not be honest? Eugene: I’m not saying she should lie, but you could have put it more gently. Big seems a little blunt. Rebecca: What would you have told her? Eugene: I...I would have suggested...Shipshape. Rebecca: Shipshape? Eugene: Shipshape. Ruth: You got a tape recorder? Have a listen. Tape: Ruthie honey, I am just so concerned you being worried about your safety that I started thinking, you know, you must be really worried living alone. I mean, somebody could just break in there and hurt you. I don’t blame you for being scared, I’d be scared too. But I just want you to know, honey, that I sympathize. And I am very scared for you. In fact, I’ve got a premonition, I guess. Maybe you should just put up a sign that says “No Trespassing”. Ruth: That man is going to kill me. I know it. Ellenor: Bobby, you should have seen her. She was citing cases off the top of her head, state, not just federal. Even the judge was backpedaling. She is a keeper. Bobby: Yeah, I had a hunch. Jimmy: What the hell has died in here? Bobby: Jimmy, what’s up? Jimmy: What? A friend can’t...uh...say hello? Bobby: One of your problems as a lawyer, Jimmy, was your lousy poker face. What are you doing here? Jimmy: Hey you’re asking my bank to float you 70 G’s. I felt I’d better take a glance at the plank I’m walking. Especially since your TIW is growing fungus. Bobby: You agreed to the loan. We had an oral on this. Don’t you… Jimmy: Hey I ain’t backing off the loan. But I’ve got superiors. They’re gonna be asking questions. I felt I’d better take a look-see. Parks: What the hell do you think you’re doing? Bobby: I warned you Mr. Parks. Parks: So you embarrass me in my place of business? Having my wages withheld? Ellenor: Oh, I did that. Parks: Who the hell are you? Rebecca: Single, white, loves horseback riding. Ellenor: Rebecca! Parks: A bunch of comedians, huh? You’re going to regret doing this. Bobby: Jimmy, come on. Eugene: Mr. Gibson, Thank you for coming. Colson: Yeah I’d like to know what this is all about. Eugene: It’s about settling this matter in an amicable way. Since Mr. Gibson is represented by counsel, it would be against the canon of legal ethics, of course, for me to speak to him outside the presence of counsel. That’s why I was behooved to call you. Colson: You are not going to get my goat. Eugene: I’ll make this quick. Most of my clients are criminals. Some of them are broke and even have to pay in trade. So much as go near your ex-wife again, drive by the house, leave a funny message on the machine, whatever, I will be dispatching two of my delinquent accounts to separate the tops of your kneecaps. Gibson : Ha ha! Colson: Hey! Hey! What are you doing? Who are you people? Huh? What is this? Eugene: Cowards make me crazy. Colson: I’m going to tell you something, I’m going to see you in jail. Eugene: Do what you gotta do. I’ve got your address too. Jimmy: This is the kind of practice my bank is investing in? Bobby: Excuse me Jimmy. Eugene! A moment! You wanna explain what that was? Eugene: Self help. Husband threatens a wife. The judge won’t restrain. I don’t wanna take chances. The guy smells like a bomb to me. Bobby: You’re a lawyer Eugene, not a PI anymore. You want to be taken seriously as a lawyer. This firm wants to be taken seriously in the legal community. That kind of crap does not help this practice. You got that? Eugene: I got it Rebecca: Bobby, your hookers are here. Bobby: Clients, Rebecca. Rebecca: Yeah, clients, they’re here. Bobby: Send them in. Hookers: Hi Bobby, Hey you. Eugene: Salutations. Bobby: There’s been some anxiety concerning last week’s police sweeps together with recent court decisions regarding laws of entrapment. Let’s review. Susan: What's this? Tag team? How many lawyers does this Roberts guy have? Lindsay: We all cover for each other. It just seems, in the interest of judicial economy, a joint recommendation could save us all some time. Susan: I'm all for pleading this out but not to 6 years. Lindsay: Listen, this guy is scum, I won't pretend. But he could get 2. What if we get an acquittal? Have you thought about that? Susan: Not for a second, you? Lindsay: Six is a good compromise. You get him off the street for a long time. You avoid a trial. Susan: You're good. I'll settle for 10. Oh and tell Ellenor nice try going to the clerk. That was deft. Wave to Benny over there. Judge: You threatened to break his kneecaps? Eugene: Not break, dislocate. Judge: Right in front of his lawyer? Eugene: Well, it would have been unethical for me to do it outside of counsel. Colson: He threatened me too, your honor. He vowed that he knew where I lived and he said it with vicious malice. Eugene: As opposed to affectionate malice. Colson: I saw that. You finding judicial amusement in this? I am absolutely astounded. Judge: Stop being such a mole. Colson: I want that put on the record. Judge: M-O-L-E, as in tiny little annoying rodent. Look, I heard your clients tape and I'm sick of all this crap. I am hereby restraining Kevin Gibson from any contact with Ruth Gibson for 60 days, any and all contact. And I'm fining you $200. You, hold out your hand. Colson: I beg your pardon? Judge: Hold it out! You get a slap on the wrist. Put it on the record, he's mad. Newman: Oh excuse me, I'm looking for Mr. Donnell. Bobby: Yeah that’s me. Newman: Gary Newman. I'm sorry I did try to call first, but a recording came on saying service was disconnected. Rebecca: Only for an hour, the phones are working now. Newman: Ah. I'm assuming representation of Martin Parks. To be frank, Mr. Donnell, this is most disturbing. For a lawyer to bring an ex-party motion against his own client? Bobby: Former client. Mr. Parks wouldn’t pay his legal fees. Newman: Even so, did you send a demand letter first? Did you withdraw as counsel? Did you bother to give him any notice? Believe me, I'm not comfortable criticizing other attorneys, but this goes beyond unprofessional. I think it's actionable. Bobby: You know what? Mr. Newman, you may be right. Tell Mr. Parks he wins and he can take it all. Rebecca! Sign over our entire law practice to Mr. Parks. Give him the office, the files, the chapter 7 application, everything. We got any petty cash? Rebecca: Thirty two dollars and 60 cents. Bobby: Give it to Mr. Newman please! Newman: You think this is funny? Bobby: Do we look amused? First rule for a plaintiff lawyer is to ascertain whether or not the defendant is judgment proof. I am glad that Mr. Parks is suing us now. Now we can counterclaim on having to file the $15 filing fee. Tell your new client thanks. And tell him, I'm going to get him. I'm going to get him. Rebecca: See? They're working. Donnell and Associates, what? Oh my God. Detective: He came in screaming, the kid shot him. Officer: Do you think that he was drunk… Eugene: These people are represented by counsel. There will be no more discussion. Ruth, listen to me. They'll be taking you to the precinct. You say absolutely nothing until I get there. Michael, same for you. Michael? You don't talk. Michael: Okay. Eugene: Anders vs Rhode Island, people. You don't even ask if they're thirsty. Ruth: He kicked in the door. He was a mad man. Said he didn’t care what the court said. Started throwing things. Next thing, I saw his neck...sort of...exploded. There was blood spurting everywhere. And I turned around…and there was Michael. He shot his dad. Eugene: Did your ex-husband...did he say he was going to kill you? Ruth: No. But he had that look...he was...he looked all crazy. Bobby: Alright, listen to me Mrs. Gibson. Listen to every word I say to you. Listen to me. I don't know exactly what happened. But let me tell you what will happen. If Michael is charged with murder, he's going to be doing some time somewhere. Ruth: But how could they do that? Bobby: Listen to me. If it's self defense, that's fine. If its defense of others, for example if he was defending you, that's fine too. But it's only okay if he thought Kevin was going to kill either of you. As I said, I don’t know what happened, but if your ex-husband wasn't posing some kind of deadly threat, then Michael is in some serious trouble. Do you understand what I'm saying here? Ruth: Yes. He was going to kill me. Bobby: Alright. Eugene: It could have been me inflamed the guy. I might be the one who provoked him into… Ellenor: No no no. This has been coming on, Eugene. Ruth even said her husband was trying to kill her. Let's not forget the tape, okay? You did whatever you could to prevent this. You got the restraining order. Bobby: Alexander got the case I'm told. This could be good. Ellenor: Yeah, she didn’t help us with Roberts. Bobby: Ah she's...she's a good lady, though. Straight shooter. Eugene: Look everything this kid's been through. If he's forced to go through a trial or if he's locked up in some hole, then there's something seriously wrong with things. Colson: Well, I guess this one's on the both of us. Eugene: Me more than you. I pushed him over the edge. Colson: No, I knew how close he was to it...so... Eugene: I'm going to argue self defense. This kid gets stuck in some juvenile hall. DA might look to you for a beat on the father's temperament. Colson: I'll support self defense. My God...what have we done? Susan: I can't believe it's that simple. Bobby: The threats were documented in court, Susan. Susan: No, actually they weren't. In the divorce pleadings there was no mention of threats. Bobby: That's what the restraining order business was about. This guy was trying to kill them. Susan: Yeah I got all the back story. But I've still got a kid in a Peter Pan suit… Eugene: Robin Hood. Susan: who jumps up from behind the couch and murders his father. What was he doing with real arrows? Eugene: His father used to take him hunting. Bobby: Susan. Susan: Bobby. Bobby: The boy is 11 years old. He's already in a psychological wasteland. If he has to go to some facility, his life is forever shot. What are we doing here? Eugene: He's a good kid. Susan: Is he? Bobby: From what I understand, he is the victim. This isn't lawyering, Susan, I promise. Susan: Uh huh. Now on Roberts, when you tried for six years instead of 12, that is lawyering, isn't it? Bobby: That is not fair. Susan: I'm just looking for a point of release here Bobby. When you tell me that I shouldn't let this kid be charged, are you saying that with the same conviction that you bring to the Robert's case? Bobby: This isn't right and you know it. Susan: You know, it's a tough world. I've got to walk upstairs to my superiors and tell them I let a juvie killer go scott and settle for six for an armed robber who put a gun up to a senior citizen's temple. That's one for you, one for me. Take your pick. Bobby: This is completely unethical. Susan: You're right and I withdraw the offer. I'm dealing with one case at a time. Roberts is first. Lyle: Now you're telling me ten? Bobby: Ten is good Lyle. It’s the best that I can do. Lyle: Yesterday six was good. Bobby: Listen to me. Judge White is tough. There's a possibility you could get life. I don't think that will happen, but what if he slaps you with 20? What then? Lyle: Maybe I should roll the dice and go to trial. Bobby: You're not going to beat the rap on this. Lyle: What, would every lawyer tell me that? Bobby: Maybe not before they got your retainer. Look Lyle, as I said, you wanna fire me? Fine. I won’t be losing sleep. But ten is good. One of the reasons we’re getting 10 is because I've got a dialogue with the DA. You wanna play craps, it's your choice. But I think that...I think that you should take the deal. Lyle: Okay I’ll take it. This sucks. Bobby: I know. Bobby: He'll take it. Ten years. Susan: Good Bobby: Let's turn to our next case. Michael, the little boy. Susan: I talked to the officers, read the reports. I'm concluding it’s self defense. Bobby: Good. Eugene: The psychologist wants to see you both again in the morning. Ruth: Okay. Thank you. I don't know how we're going to get through this. But thank you, as long as Michael's not going to jail. Eugene: Oh he isn't. Hey Mike, this is going to hurt for a long, long time. So, you don't have to be this brave Robin Hood or any kind of hero. You just got to talk to the doctors. Michael: I've gotta take care of my mother. Eugene: You did that son. Now you gotta let your mother take care of you okay? Okay? Eugene: You go ahead...I got some business here. Eugene: Thank you. Bobby: I lied to my client. Eugene: You didn't lie. You told him 10 years was a good deal. It is. Bobby: So it's...it's coincidental. Eugene: Roberts wouldn’t have done better. And this kid gets a chance. We both know that. Bobby: Yeah. Eugene: C'mon. I’ll buy you a beer. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/ae38352475c66137ee06eff9aef8941ea76e4ba7.html
