[STOPPING MID-LYRIC]
LOOK, THIS ISN'T WORKING.
THIS JUST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH.
I WON'T LET ANYTHING
LEAVE MY STUDIO
SOUNDING LIKE THAT.
HEY, YOU, STOP
TAKING PICTURES.
GET OUT.
GET OUT!
LOOK, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY
NOT WORKING, ALL RIGHT?
LET'S TRY IT AGAIN
TOMORROW, ALL RIGHT?
DON'T LISTEN
TO THAT CREEP.
YOU WERE GREAT.
HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT EVAN?
NO, I NEED TO...
I NEED TO TELL TERRY FIRST.
YOU KNOW WHAT'LL HAPPEN
IF YOU TELL HIM.
HE'LL TALK YOU
OUT OF IT.
HE ALWAYS DOES.
WHAT DO I ALWAYS DO?
UH... TERRY,
WE NEED TO TALK.
WE DO, HUH?
UM...
OKAY, COME ON.
I DON'T HAVE ALL NIGHT.
UM, I'VE BEEN TALKING
TO EVAN CARLTON.
EVAN CARLTON?
OH...
I BET HE TELLS YOU
HE THINKS YOU SOUND
LIKE ADELE.
NO, HE DOESN'T...
YOU KNOW HE'S BEEN TRYING
TO GET AT ME FOR YEARS.
HE HATES ME.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU,
THIS IS ABOUT ME.
I'M FIRING YOU AS MY PRODUCER,
AND I'M GOING WITH EVAN, OKAY?
UM...
OKAY.
OKAY.
I JUST THOUGHT
THAT YOU WANTED
TO BE A REAL SINGER.
I DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS
JUST A VANITY PROJECT.
JUST STOP. STOP.
YOU NEED ME, PHOEBE.
YOU NEED ME
TO PUSH YOU!
YOUR MIND GAMES ARE NOT GOING
TO WORK WITH ME, OKAY?
I'M LEAVING YOU,
AND EVAN IS PRODUCING MY ALBUM.
WHOSE ALBUM?
I OWN THAT ALBUM,
AND I WILL ERASE
EVERY TRACK
BEFORE I ALLOW YOU
TO HAND IT OVER
TO EVAN CARLTON
OR ANYONE ELSE.
I SWEAR, IF YOU DO THAT...
YOU'LL BE SORRY.
OH, I'M TREMBLING.
[PHONE RINGING]
IT'S THE WIFE.
DO YOU MIND?
YEAH.
HELLO.
I'M COMING HOME SOON, HON'.
[♪♪♪]
[MEDITATION MUSIC PLAYING]
OH.
YOU CAN'T MEDITATE
IN YOUR OWN ROOM?
IT'S CALLED MINDFULNESS.
YOU SHOULD TRY IT
SOMETIME.
I HAVE MY OWN FORM
OF MINDFULNESS.
IT INVOLVES LISTENING
TO FRANK SINATRA
AND DRINKING A FEW...
I'M STANDING
RIGHT HERE.
OH, UH, DRINKING
A FEW... HOT COCOAS.
IS THAT ALL RIGHT?
DO YOU WANT ONE?
NO, I HATE HOT COCOA.
[CLAIRE]:
OKAY.
IT'S TIME
FOR OUR WEEKLY FAMILY MEETING.
OH, DARN.
YOU KNOW, I HAVE
TO BE SOME PLACE.
WHERE?
ANYWHERE BUT HERE.
BREAKFAST IS READY.
WAFFLES.
OH, YOU SO KNOW
MY WEAKNESS.
WELL, ONE OF THEM.
OKAY, LET'S GO.
LET'S JUST GET IT
OVER WITH.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN
BACK HERE?
A MONTH?
THREE WEEKS AND ONE DAY.
OKAY, SO...
YOU KNOW THE ROUTINE.
EACH WEEK,
WE STATE...
WE STATE OUR PLANS,
OUR GOALS...
AND OUR ASPIRATIONS.
OH, YOU POOR THING.
YOU THINK THIS IS NORMAL.
[CLAIRE]:
OKAY, SO,
MY PLAN IS TO GET
AN ACQUITTAL
ON THE GORDON TRIAL.
MY GOAL IS, I WANT TO PREP
THE TALBOT CASE,
AND MY ASPIRATION...
IS TO PLANT THE PARSLEY
IN THE GARDEN
BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
FASCINATING.
WOULD YOU PASS ME
THE SYRUP?
MY PLAN IS TO GET STRAIGHT A's
IN PHYSICS.
MY GOAL IS TO MAKE
THE BASEBALL TEAM,
GET TO PITCH
AT TRYOUTS TODAY...
AND MY ASPIRATION IS TO BE
THE THIRD FEMALE PRESIDENT.
THIRD?
YEAH, WELL, YOU'LL BE FIRST,
AND THEN THERE'LL BE
SOMEONE ELSE,
AND THEN THERE'LL BE ME.
THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.
UH, BUT BASEBALL?
ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME
THAT YOU SWITCHED TO SOFTBALL?
WHY?
BECAUSE I'M A GIRL?
UM... YES?
[CLAIRE]:
LOU DOESN'T LIKE SOFTBALL.
[LOUISE]: I MEAN,
UNDERHAND PITCHING?
WHY?
I MEAN, BOYS AND GIRLS
PLAY T-BALL TOGETHER.
WHY CAN'T THEY PLAY BASEBALL?
THEY CAN.
THERE IS NO RULE
THAT SAYS GIRLS
CANNOT PLAY BASEBALL.
SEE?
RIGHT, I STAND
CORRECTED.
SO HOW MANY GIRLS ARE
ON THE BASEBALL TEAM?
NONE.
WHY NOT?
BECAUSE OF THE GLASS CEILING.
RIGHT, MOM?
IT IS RIGHT THERE,
READY TO BE BROKEN, BABY.
WHAT, WITH
A CURVE BALL?
AND A TWO-SEAM FASTBALL.
MM-HMM.
YOUR TURN.
WELL, I WANT WHAT
I ALWAYS WANT...
A CASE OF MY OWN.
YOU'RE A CONSULTANT.
YOU CONSULT.
HOW AM I EVER GOING TO BE
A PARTNER AGAIN
IF I DON'T GET TO HANDLE
MY OWN CASE?
ONE STEP AT A TIME.
YOU'VE ONLY JUST REJOINED
THE FIRM.
YOU SEE, YOUR MOTHER
HAS JUST CREATED
A GLASS CEILING
JUST FOR ME.
THAT DOESN'T SOUND
VERY FAIR, MOM.
MEETING ADJOURNED.
OH, AND MY ASPIRATION...
IS TO HAVE ANOTHER WAFFLE
WHEN I'M FINISHED WITH THIS ONE.
YOU MAKE ME ONE?
OKAY?
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
ANOTHER ACQUITTAL!
[APPLAUDING]
BRAVA.
ALL RIGHT,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU,
THANK YOU.
LET'S GET BACK TO WORK.
WE HAVE A LOT OF CASES
TO WORRY ABOUT.
[RAYMOND]:
WHAT MS. DARROW MEANS IS,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT
SHOWING OF SUPPORT,
AND SHE COULDN'T HAVE
DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.
THAT GOES
WITHOUT SAYING.
TRY SAYING IT.
BACK TO WORK,
EVERYONE.
LET'S GO.
HEY.
HEY!
COFFEE, COUNSELOR.
[JOANNA]: WELL,
WELL, WELL,
IF IT ISN'T THE DEFEATED
DISTRICT ATTORNEY,
COME TO PAY HOMAGE.
YOUR HOMAGE, COUNSELOR.
THANK YOU.
WE HAVE A BET.
YEAH, WE
HAVE A BET.
EVERY TIME
WE FACE OFF IN COURT,
THE LOSER
HAS TO BUY THE WINNER
A CUP OF COFFEE.
WHAT'S THE TALLY NOW?
LET'S SEE, THIS IS TWO
THAT I BOUGHT YOU, AND...
ONE THAT I BOUGHT YOU.
YEAH, WHICH SEEMS UNEVEN.
WHY IS THAT?
I DEFEND THE INNOCENT?
THE UNFAIR
INNOCENCE ADVANTAGE.
[CHUCKLING]
MAY I COMMENT?
I CAN'T STOP YOU.
I CAN'T WAIT.
I CAN'T HELP BUT NOTICE
THAT WHENEVER THE TWO OF YOU
ARE TOGETHER,
WHICH I'M ALL FOR,
BY THE WAY,
YOU NEVER SEEM TO TALK
ABOUT ANYTHING BUT WORK.
- THAT'S NOT TRUE.
- THAT'S TRUE.
- WHAT?
- YEAH!
REMEMBER OUR LAST DATE.
ALL WE DID WAS TALK
ABOUT BODNAR V. MURAD.
THAT WAS A FASCINATING
CONVERSATION.
YEAH, ABSOLUTELY, BUT...
KIND OF WORK-ORIENTED.
WELL, IT WAS LAW TALK.
AND WE'RE LAWYERS,
BUT WE'RE ALSO
WELL-ROUNDED INDIVIDUALS.
IN LIGHT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT,
I PROPOSE
AN AGREEMENT
WHERE WE DON'T TALK LAW
FOR A MONTH...
FOR TWO WEEKS,
ALL RIGHT?
- NO SHOP TALK FOR...
- ONE WEEK.
ONE WEEK.
THE WEEKEND?
NO, NO, YOU'RE RIGHT.
ONE WEEK.
STARTING RIGHT... NOW.
[JOANNA]: WOW, YOU GUYS
ARE UNBELIEVABLE.
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE
OTHER THINGS TO TALK ABOUT.
I KNOW!
OH, THERE'S
PLENTY OF THINGS.
WHOLE WORLD OF THINGS
TO TALK ABOUT.
BASEBALL?
BASEBALL.
YEAH, GO COWBOYS.
UH...
OH, WE COULD GO TO
A CLUB DOWNTOWN TONIGHT.
A CLUB?
YEAH, MY SISTER--
MY KID SISTER,
SHE'S A SINGER, RIGHT,
AND SHE'S PLAYING
AT A CLUB DOWNTOWN TONIGHT,
SO WE GO,
WE LISTEN TO MUSIC,
WE TALK, BUT NO SHOP TALK.
YEAH,
IT COULD JUST BE LIFE TALK.
LIFE TALK!
YEAH, YOU IN?
I'M TOTALLY IN.
[JOANNA]:
THAT SOUNDS GREAT...
BUT I'M NOT GOING.
YOU'RE NOT GOING.
YOU'LL BE MISSED...
YOU'RE NOT GOING.
WINNIE, YOUR INSTINCTS
WITH JURY SELECTION
ARE SPOT ON.
HOW DO YOU READ
PEOPLE SO WELL?
IT'S A BLESSING AND A CURSE.
IT MAKES DATING HER
A CHALLENGE.
I ALWAYS KNOW
WHAT HE'S THINKING.
ACTUALLY,
IT SAVES TIME.
WATCH.
TONIGHT, DO YOU WANT TO...
GO TO A MOVIE?
SURE, BUT I PICK.
SEE?
WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU,
CHESTER.
WOULD THIS BE
A GOOD TIME
FOR US
TO HAVE THAT TALK?
UH, SURE, CHESTER.
WHAT TALK?
THAT TALK YOU'VE BEEN AVOIDING
FOR ABOUT A MONTH.
AS YOU ARE
NO DOUBT AWARE,
THIS FIRM
IS IN A STATE OF CRISIS.
WE JUST WON A CASE.
EXACTLY.
WE'RE COASTING
ON PAST GLORIES.
WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE
THAT IT'S A WHOLE
NEW WORLD OUT THERE.
THE STATUS QUO
IS THE STATUS NO.
[RAYMOND]: LET ME GUESS...
YOU'VE BEEN DOING SOME OF THOSE
BUSINESS SEMINARS.
I HAVE.
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
AND I LEARNED
THAT THE ONLY WAY TO SUCCEED...
IS BY FAILING.
[JOANNA]: I THOUGHT
THE ONLY WAY TO SUCCEED
WAS BY SUCCEEDING.
THAT'S OLD THOUGHT.
YOU HAVE TO COME
INTO THE NEW MILLENNIUM.
DON'T START WITH THAT.
- PLEASE, CHESTER...
- [SCOTT]: STOP HIM, PLEASE,
BEFORE HE MAKES US DO
TEAM-BUILDING EXERCISES.
SEE, THAT'S EXACTLY
THE TYPE OF THINKING
THAT'S KEEPING US
IN THE 21ST CENTURY.
BUT THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY.
AND IT WILL STAY THAT WAY
UNLESS YOU START TO SAY YES.
OKAY, I'M GOING
TO THINK ABOUT THAT, CHESTER.
YOU KNOW WHAT, CLAIRE,
YOU'RE REALLY--
YOU'RE KIND OF ENCOURAGING HIM,
AND I...
I DON'T HAVE THE HEART
TO TELL HIM NO.
WELL...
THAT'S VERY
POST-MILLENNIAL OF YOU.

THANK YOU.
HEY!

OH, I'M FAMOUS?
I MEAN, ACCORDING

YOU'LL ALWAYS BE THE MASTER.
WELL...
AND THIS IS
LINDA YASBECK.
HI.
I'M THE PRODUCER'S WIFE,
BUT DON'T HOLD THAT AGAINST ME.
[LAUGHING]
HEY, WHERE IS TERRY?
I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING
TO BE HERE TONIGHT.
HE'S BUSY WORKING
ON PHOEBE'S ALBUM.
IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT!
[JONAH]:
WELL, COME ON, LINDA,
LET PHOEBE GET SOME REST.
RIGHT.
YOUR HUSBAND'S EXPECTING US
IN THE STUDIO IN THE MORNING,
AND IF WE'RE LATE...
OH, MY HUSBAND
JUST WANTS EVERYONE
TO WORK
AS HARD AS HE DOES.
HE IS NOT AS BAD
AS PEOPLE SAY.
[JONAH]:
NICE TO MEET YOU.
BYE, GUYS. THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR COMING.
- OF COURSE.
- SEE YOU.
BYE.
MILES, I NEED YOUR HELP.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
WHAT'S WRONG?
EVERYTHING!
EVERYTHING.
LOOK...
MY CAREER IS JUST
STARTING TO TAKE OFF.
AFTER STRUGGLING
AND SCRAPING BY,
I FINALLY MADE SOMETHING
THAT WAS GOOD, THAT WAS ME...
THE ALBUM.
RIGHT, THE ALBUM.
SHE SAID IT WAS GREAT.
YEAH, LINDA SAID IT WAS GOOD--
TERRY'S WIFE, LINDA.
TERRY, THOUGH...
TERRY IS RUINING EVERYTHING!
HOW?
HE'S TRYING TO STEAL MY ALBUM.
HE'S TRYING TO DESTROY IT.
HOW?
I WAS CONTACTED
BY THIS OTHER PRODUCER,
EVAN CARLTON.
HE'S A REALLY GOOD PRODUCER,
AND A REALLY KIND GUY.
HE'S THE KIND OF PRODUCER I NEED
TO TAKE MY ALBUM FURTHER,
AND SO I TOLD HIM THAT.
TOLD TERRY THAT?
TERRY, YEAH,
BUT HE SAID
THAT WE HAVE A CONTRACT,
AND THAT HE OWNS THE ALBUM,
AND IF I TRY TO LEAVE HIM,
HE'LL DESTROY IT.
CAN I SEE THIS CONTRACT?
I DON'T HAVE A COPY.
TERRY HAS IT, IN HIS OFFICE.
CAN YOU HELP HER?
I MEAN...
SHE IS THE BEST
LAWYER IN THE CITY.
WELL, YEAH,
I WOULD LOVE TO HELP,
BUT I NEED
TO SEE THAT CONTRACT.
OKAY, I MEAN,
I CAN GET IT FOR YOU.
OKAY, BRING IT TO MY OFFICE
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
- WE'LL SEE YOU THROUGH THIS.
- THANK YOU.
NOT GOING TO LET
YOU DOWN AGAIN.
YOU NEVER HAVE.
YOU'RE SWEET.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
- THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- OF COURSE.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
THANK YOU.
YOU WERE GREAT
TONIGHT.
OH, THERE YOU ARE!
SO... SIX HOURS.
WHAT?
COULDN'T EVEN GO SIX HOURS
WITHOUT TALKING SHOP.
WE JUST CAN'T
STOP, CAN WE?
WE CAN'T.
[PHONE RINGING]
HELLO?
[TERRY]:
I'M COMING HOME SOON, HON'.
OKAY, I...
HEY, PHOEBE?
PHOEBE, WHAT ARE YOU--
[GUN FIRING]
[CRASHING]
TERRY!
TERRY?
[LINE RINGING]
[VOICE MAIL]: YOU HAVE REACHED
THE VOICE MAILBOX OF...
[LINE RINGING]
[OPERATOR]: THIS IS 911.
WHAT'S YOUR EMERGENCY?
IT'S MY HUSBAND!
SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO HIM.
[POLICE RADIO CHATTER]
[KNOCKING]
YEAH?
I DON'T WANT YOU
TO THINK
THAT I WAS IGNORING YOU.
I'VE BEEN THINKING
ABOUT WHAT YOU SAID.
WELL, YOU'VE IGNORED
WHAT I'VE SAID FOR YEARS.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO NARROW THAT DOWN.
ABOUT HAVING A CASE
OF YOUR OWN.
OH, SO,
YOU FINALLY CAME AROUND.
WELL, I HAPPEN TO HAVE
A NUMBER OF CASES
THAT SOUND VERY INTERESTING.
MOM, SLOW DOWN.
I'D LIKE TO SEE
IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE PHILOSOPHY
OF DARROW & DARROW.
EXCUSE ME...
WHAT IS MY NAME?
I HELPED CO-FOUND THIS FIRM.
YES, BUT YOU'VE BEEN AWAY
IN NEW YORK,
AT THAT BIG, PROMINENT FIRM.
YES, YES,
WHERE WE ACTUALLY MADE MONEY.
OOH, ISN'T THAT AWFUL?
YOU SHOULD SEE HOW YOU FEEL
ABOUT THE WAY WE DO THINGS.
NOW, THERE'S A WOMAN
IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM.
IT'S A PRO BONO CASE.
PRO BONO?
YES.
FOR NOTHING?
FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.
SHE WANTS
TO SUE A CLIENT OF OURS,
AND OUR CLIENT CAN'T PAY,
SO...
WE COULD DO IT FOR FREE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
YOU DON'T THINK I'LL DO IT.
YOU WANT TO BE PROVEN RIGHT
ABOUT ME.
I DON'T...
WELL, I'LL DO IT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
I'M PLEASED.
YEAH, YOU SAY YOU'RE PLEASED,
BUT I KNOW THAT INSIDE,
YOU ARE SHOCKED.
YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT,
IF YOU WANT TO.
I AM GOING
TO TAKE THIS PRO BONO CASE,
AND I'M GOING TO SLAY IT...
YEAH, AND THEN
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FEEL?
HAPPY?
- YOU'RE DARN RIGHT.
- OKAY.
LEAD ON.
GREAT.
I THINK THEY MANUFACTURE IT
RIGHT IN THEIR HOUSE
AND SELL ON THE FRONT LAWN,
IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY!
IT'S OUTRAGEOUS!
MRS. BELLAMY...
I HATE TO THINK
WHAT KIND OF HEALTH CODES
THEY'RE VIOLATING,
NOT TO MENTION
THE ZONING CODES.
MRS...
AND HE HAS HIS GRANDDAUGHTER
SELLING THE STUFF.
WHAT KIND OF MONSTER
WOULD DO THAT?
MRS. BELLAMY,
YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD ME
WHAT MY CLIENTS
ARE ALLEGEDLY SELLING.
ALLEGEDLY?
I'VE GOT PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE.
IT'S A LEMONADE STAND.
YOU SEE?
YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IT EITHER,
CAN YOU?
NO, NO, I CAN'T.
OKAY, HERE YOU GO.
WELL, SHE'S
A REAL WING-NUT,
BUT THE THING IS,
SHE'S RIGHT.
HER NEIGHBORHOOD
ISN'T ZONED FOR RETAIL,
SO TECHNICALLY,
SHE HAS A CASE.
SO IT'LL TAKE
A REALLY GOOD LAWYER
TO FIGHT IT, HUH?
YOU REALLY THINK
THAT FLATTERY
WILL MOTIVATE ME?
WON'T IT?
WELL, YES,
OF COURSE, IT WILL.
I'M SURPRISED
IT TOOK YOU THAT LONG
TO FIGURE IT OUT.
[MILES]: HEY.
- HEY THERE. HOW ARE YOU?
- HI!
LOOK WHAT I GOT...
THE CONTRACT!
OH, GOOD,
YOU GOT THE CONTRACT.
THE CONTRACT.
I PICKED IT UP
FROM TERRY'S OFFICE LAST NIGHT.
AWESOME.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
ALL RIGHT.
ARE YOU PHOEBE
STRASBERG?
UH... YES?
YOUR ROOMMATE TOLD US
WE MIGHT FIND YOU HERE.
WAIT. HOLD ON.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST,
MISS STRASBERG.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WHAT IS SHE BEING CHARGED WITH?
THE MURDER OF
TERRY YASBECK.
[MILES]:
MURDER? WHAT?
- TERRY?
- THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
[OFFICER]: YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.
ANYTHING YOU SAY
CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU
IN A COURT OF LAW.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO AN ATTORNEY.
IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD
AN ATTORNEY,
ONE WILL BE PROVIDED FOR YOU.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND
THESE RIGHTS?
[MILES]: DON'T WORRY, PHOEBE,
WE'VE GOT THIS.
LOOK, I DON'T THINK
I'M THE ONE YOU NEED.
YOU ARE.
I HAVE NEVER DEFENDED
A MURDER TRIAL BEFORE.
ISN'T THERE SOMEONE
MORE QUALIFIED THAN ME?
YOU'RE THE BEST TRIAL LAWYER
I HAVE EVER SEEN.
WELL, THANK YOU,
BUT STILL...
SO HERE'S WHAT
YOU'RE DEALING WITH.
SHE WAS SEEN ENTERING
THE YASBECKS' OFFICE
AT THE TIME OF THE MURDER.
THEY GOT A SEARCH WARRANT.
THEY SEARCHED HER CAR.
THEY FOUND THE MURDER WEAPON.
A BERETTA M9.
THAT'S WHY THEY'RE SO SURE
IT'S HER?
THAT'S WHY
THEY'RE SO SURE.
THEY'RE TESTING HER HANDS
FOR GUNSHOT RESIDUE RIGHT NOW.
LOOK, CLAIRE...
I KNOW MY SISTER.
I KNOW
SHE'S INNOCENT.
YOU'RE GOOD AT DEFENDING
THE INNOCENT, RIGHT?
ALL RIGHT,
I'LL SEE HER THIS AFTERNOON.
THANK YOU.
AFTER I CHECK ON LOU.
THANK YOU.
SO YOU THINK YOU'RE
UP FOR THIS CASE?
NOT REALLY.
I DO.
HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.
[CRACKING]
[JOANNA]:
SHE IS GOOD.
I MEAN, SHE'S
REALLY GOOD.
I KNOW! HER DAD TAUGHT
HER TO HIT LIKE THAT.
OH, NOW I SEE.
SO BASEBALL
IS LOU'S WAY
OF STAYING CONNECTED
TO THE MEMORY
OF HER FATHER.
THAT'S NICE.
YEAH.
WHEN SHE WAS FOUR,
SHE COULD NAME
EVERY BASEBALL TEAM
AND EVERY CITY
IN THE MAJOR LEAGUE.
SHE COLLECTED THE CARDS.
SHE KNEW ALL THE STATS.
THE STATS?
ARE YOU KIDDING?
YEAH. YEAH, THAT'S
HOW SHE GOT INTO MATH,
WHICH LEAD TO ENGINEERING,
WHICH LEAD
TO ALL THE A.P. CLASSES.
WE OWE IT ALL
TO BASEBALL.
WELL...
I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS
JUST A BUNCH OF GUYS
STANDING AROUND,
WAITING FOR FLY BALLS.
THERE'S A LOT MORE TO IT
THAN THAT.
YEAH, UH, COULD'VE
FOOLED ME.
LOU.
SHE YOURS?
UM...
YES.
NOT BAD.
NOT BAD?
SHE'S THE BEST
PLAYER YOU'VE GOT.
OH, YEAH?
CHARMING FELLOW.
BYE.
[SNICKERING]
ALL RIGHT.
I'VE GOT TO GO.
WISH ME LUCK.
ALL RIGHT.
GO GET 'EM, TIGER.
YES, I FOUGHT WITH TERRY
DURING OUR LAST SESSION,
AND YEAH, I HAD
A DIFFERENT PRODUCER LINED UP.
DID YOU THREATEN
TERRY YASBECK?
I DON'T KNOW.
I MIGHT HAVE.
I MEAN....
I WAS MAD.
TERRY HAS A WAY
OF GETTING UNDER YOUR SKIN...
OR... HAD.
WELL, YOU WERE OVERHEARD
THREATENING TERRY
IF HE DESTROYED YOUR ALBUM.
YEAH, I MEAN, THAT SOUNDS
LIKE SOMETHING I'D SAY.
I MEAN,
SUPPOSE SOMEBODY THREATENED
WHATEVER YOU CARE
ABOUT MOST?
OKAY...
THE CLERK
AT THE CONVENIENCE STORE
ACROSS THE STREET
SAID HE SAW YOU TRYING THE DOOR
TO YASBECKS' STUDIO
AROUND 1:00 IN THE MORNING.
SAID HE RECOGNIZED YOU.
YEAH, I MEAN, I...
WE ALWAYS BUY ENERGY DRINKS
FROM HIM.
I WAVED AT HIM,
AND THEN THE DOOR WAS LOCKED,
SO I WENT AROUND BACK.
THE SECURITY CAMERA
SAW YOU DRIVE UP
AND GO IN THE BACK DOOR.
I KNOW.
I TOLD YOU.
I WENT TO GO GET THE CONTRACT.
SO THAT DOOR WAS UNLOCKED?
YEAH,
SO I THOUGHT SOMEBODY
WOULD BE WORKING THERE,
BUT THE WHOLE PLACE
WAS JUST QUIET.
TERRY WASN'T THERE.
I MEAN, AT LEAST,
I DIDN'T SEE HIM.
SO I WENT INTO HIS OFFICE,
AND I GOT THE CONTRACT
FROM HIS FILES.
I EVEN LOOKED
THROUGH HIS WHOLE COMPUTER.
WHAT FOR?
FOR MY ALBUM,
FOR THE TRACKS.
AH, OF COURSE.
I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING.
DID YOU HEAR A GUNSHOT?
NO.
[MILES]:
PHOEBE...
YOU WERE THERE AT THE
EXACT TIME OF THE MURDER.
AND TERRY'S WIFE SAID
SHE HEARD HIM
CALL YOUR NAME
ON THE PHONE.
I MEAN, EVEN IF I WAS THERE,
I WOULDN'T HAVE HEARD
THE SHOT ANYWAYS.
THE WHOLE STUDIO'S SOUNDPROOFED.
I SWEAR,
I JUST WENT HOME.
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
YOU'RE INNOCENT.
YOU'RE INNOCENT.
THEY'LL SEE THAT.
IT'S FUNNY,
YOU KNOW.
LAST NIGHT,
THAT ALBUM WAS THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD
TO ME...
AND NOW,
I MEAN...
I CAN ALWAYS JUST RE-MAKE IT...
UNLESS I'M IN PRISON
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
I MEAN,
THAT'S WHAT I'M FACING, RIGHT?
THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
OKAY?
AH.
ARE YOU READY
TO PLEAD GUILTY?
NO, I DIDN'T KILL TERRY.
SHE DIDN'T
KILL TERRY.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
ASHLAND, HOW ARE YOU?
NOT TOO HAPPY TO SEE YOU ON
THIS SIDE OF THE FENCE, MILES.
[CLAIRE]:
WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME SIDE.
WE ALL WANT TO FIND THE TRUTH.
MAN, YOU WEREN'T KIDDING
ABOUT HER, WERE YOU?
WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT ME?
I SAID NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS.
PLUS, SHE'S RIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW.
WE HAVE THE RESULTS
OF THE GUNSHOT RESIDUE TEST
ON THE SUSPECT'S HANDS.
IT CAME BACK POSITIVE.
[CLAPPING]
[COACH]:
THAT'S IT, FELLAS!
COME ON, WAKE UP!
WAKE UP OUT THERE!
WHY ISN'T HE
PLAYING HER?
LOOK AT HER.
SHE'S SO DISAPPOINTED.
WAIT, WAIT A SECOND.
I THINK HE'S GOING
TO GO TALK TO HER.
- OKAY. OH, I'M SO NERVOUS.
- HE'S TALKING TO HER.
- [CLAIRE]: I'M SO NERVOUS.
- [JOANNA]: IT'S OKAY.
I MEAN, SHE'S
GOOD, RIGHT?
YEAH, BUT THIS IS
A LOT OF PRESSURE.
OH, YOU MEAN LIKE
YOU WITH THAT CASE?
YOU'RE NOT HELPING.
SORRY.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU'RE GOOD, YOU'RE GOOD.
OH, ARE YOU
KIDDING ME?
COACH, PUT HER IN!
[COACH]: COME ON, FELLAS!
HUSTLE UP, KEEP ALERT.
JERK.
[CLAPPING]
HAVE THEY BEEN ABLE
TO TRACK THE SERIAL
NUMBER ON THE GUN?
THEY HAVE.
IT BELONGS TO
A CATHERINE HUDDLESTON.
SHE'S AN OLD-TIMER,
LIVES OUT THERE
ON QUANDER ROAD.
SAYS SHE CAN'T REMEMBER
THE LAST TIME SHE SAW IT.
BUT SHE HAS NO
CONNECTION TO YOUR SISTER?
NOT THAT I KNOW OF.
WELL, THAT'S SOMETHING.
[PHONE RINGING]
[SCOTT]:
HELLO?
[CLAIRE, ON PHONE]:
SCOTT?
YES, CHIEF.
HEY, I NEED YOU
TO TRACK A...
CATHERINE HUDDLESTON.
A CATHERINE
HUDDLESTON.
- FIND OUT EVERYTHING YOU CAN--
- TERRY YASBECK.
AND SEE ABOUT
HER CONNECTION
TO TERRY YASBECK
OR ANYONE ELSE
INVOLVED IN THE CASE.
YOU GOT IT.
HERE'S SOMETHING ELSE.
YEAH?
SO PHOEBE'S ALBUM,
ALL RIGHT,
THE TRACKS,
PHOEBE'S ALBUM...
NOWHERE TO BE FOUND
AT TERRY YASBECK'S STUDIO,
AND APPARENTLY,
THIS GUY KEPT EVERYTHING,
WAS A REAL
CONTROL FREAK, RIGHT?
HE HAD BACK-UPS
ON BACK-UPS,
AND EVERYTHING
THEY DID
ON THE COMPUTERS
OVER THERE,
HE DIDN'T LET GO
OF ANYTHING.
SO WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE ALBUM?
I DON'T KNOW, I...
EITHER TERRY DESTROYED IT,
WHICH MAKES NO SENSE, OR...
SOMEBODY STOLE IT.
OR SOMEONE STOLE IT.
VERY POSSIBLY
THE SAME PERSON
THAT KILLED TERRY.
BUT WHY WOULD
THEY DO THAT?
IT DOESN'T...
IT'S NOT WORTH ANYTHING
TO ANYBODY BUT TERRY.
AND PHOEBE.
SHE SAYS SHE
DIDN'T TAKE IT.
SHE ALSO SAID
SHE DIDN'T KILL
TERRY YASBECK.
I KNOW...
I KNOW SHE DIDN'T, BUT...
IF I'M A D.A., WHICH I AM,
AND I'M THINKING LIKE A D.A.,
WHICH I AM,
SHE LOOKS GUILTY.
WELL, I'M THINKING
LIKE A DEFENSE ATTORNEY,
AND I KNOW SHE'S NOT.
THANKS FOR SAYING THAT,
AND ALSO, THANK YOU FOR...
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING.
ALL RIGHT.
AND DON'T YOU FRET.
I'M GOING TO TAKE
CARE OF THIS, OKAY?
OKAY.
OKAY.
THANK YOU, MRS. DARROW.
MM-HMM.
YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES
THIS LEMONADE CASE SO HARD?
HAVING TO WATCH A LITTLE GIRL
SOB HER EYES OUT?
WELL, YEAH, THAT,
AND HAVING
TO ACTUALLY TASTE THE LEMONADE.
THEY SWEETEN IT WITH STEVIA.
IT'S A TERRIBLE AFTER-TASTE.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I LIKE STEVIA.
HUH.
YOU PROBABLY LIKE CILANTRO, TOO.
YES, I DO.
WELL, TAKES ALL KINDS.
HEY, WHERE'S CLAIRE?
SHE'S WITH MILES,
MEETING WITH PHOEBE'S PRODUCER.
I... I THOUGHT
PHOEBE'S PRODUCER WAS DEAD.
I MEAN,
ISN'T THAT THE WHOLE PROBLEM?
THERE'S A NEW PRODUCER.
OH.
SHE HAS A NEW PRODUCER?
WELL, LUCKY GIRL.
EXCEPT FOR BEING CHARGED
WITH MURDER?
WELL, YEAH,
EXCEPT FOR THAT.
CHESTER LIME.
I WAS WONDERING
IF TODAY WOULD BE A GOOD DAY
TO DISCUSS OUR CREATIVE
SYNERGY EXPLORATION?
[JOANNA AND RAYMOND]: NO.
OH.
OKAY.
TERRY YASBECK WAS
AN ABUSIVE JERK.
ASK ANYBODY.
EMOTIONALLY,
PHYSICALLY...
I MEAN, IF PHOEBE
KILLED HIM,
IT WAS IN SELF-DEFENSE.
SHE DIDN'T KILL HIM.
ARE YOU SAYING
THAT THAT'S WHAT
YOU THINK HAPPENED?
NO, I'M NOT SAYING THAT.
I'M JUST SAYING TERRY
WAS AN ANGRY, DANGEROUS PERSON.
I MEAN, IF I SAW HIM
COMING AT PHOEBE,
AND I HAD A GUN,
I'D PROBABLY SHOOT HIM MYSELF.
DID YOU?
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
YOU SEEM AWFULLY PROTECTIVE
OF PHOEBE.
LOOK, I WOULDN'T SAY THAT.
SHE'S A VERY TALENTED SINGER,
AND I WANT TO
PRODUCE HER ALBUM.
DID YOU SEND HER FLOWERS?
YES, I DID,
BUT JUST TO THANK HER
FOR SIGNING WITH ME.
BUT YOU DO HAVE
A PARTICULAR REASON
FOR WANTING TO KILL
TERRY YASBECK, DON'T YOU?
YEAH, OKAY.
YOU'RE REFERRING TO LINDA.
YEAH, TERRY WAS MARRIED
TO MY EX-WIFE.
RIGHT, SO WE COULD SAY
YOU HAVE MANY REASONS
TO WANT TO KILL TERRY YASBECK,
DON'T YOU?
[CLAIRE]: WELL, IT SEEMS LIKE
EVAN HAS MORE
THAN A PROFESSIONAL INTEREST
IN YOUR SISTER.
WHY DID YOU STOP ME?
I HAD HIM
ON THE ROPES.
WE'RE NOT IN COURT.
WE'RE NOT EVEN
TAKING DEPOSITIONS.
WE'RE JUST
GATHERING FACTS.
AS A D.A.,
YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.
YOU'RE RIGHT,
YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE
RIGHT, YOU'RE RIGHT.
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE
BLIND FAITH.
IS THAT WHAT
YOU DO, CLAIRE?
YOU JUST HAVE
BLIND FAITH?
ACTUALLY, JUST FAITH,
BUT YOU CAN CALL IT
BLIND JUSTICE.
BESIDES, NOW WE KNOW
EVAN CARLTON'S
IN LOVE WITH YOUR SISTER.
ABOUT THAT...
IF HE IS,
THEN WHY...
DIDN'T PHOEBE TELL US THAT?
MAYBE SHE DOESN'T KNOW...
OR MAYBE SHE'S PROTECTING HIM.
HEY, SCOTT,
HOW ARE YOU COMING ALONG
WITH CATHERINE HUDDLESTON?
STILL LOOKING INTO IT.
OKAY, WELL,
I'M GOING
TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER JOB
BECAUSE YOU'RE THE BEST
INVESTIGATOR I HAVE.
I WON'T DENY THAT,
BUT THANKS FOR THE VALIDATION.
I WANT YOU TO FIND OUT
WHAT CAN CAUSE A FALSE POSITIVE
ON A GUNSHOT-RESIDUE TEST.
RIGHT...
I'M ON IT.
THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
I HAVE THEM OCCASIONALLY.
YEAH, DO THAT.
I DON'T WORK FOR YOU.
NOT YET.
[CLAIRE]:
PLEASE, GUYS, OKAY?
SO NOW WE NEED TO GO TALK
TO PHOEBE'S BACK-UP SINGER
AND HER ENGINEER
TO FIND OUT
MORE ABOUT THAT.
I'LL BRING THE CAR ROUND.
OKAY.
HEY, CHESTER?
YOU KNOW YOUR WAY
AROUND A COMPUTER, RIGHT?
WE HAVE A CERTAIN RAPPORT.
I WANT YOU TO SEARCH
TERRY YASBECK'S COMPUTER SYSTEM
FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK
LEADING UP TO THE MURDER.
THAT'LL TAKE DAYS,
AND THE POLICE HAVE ALREADY
BEEN THROUGH IT.
ARE YOU COMPLAINING?
NO, JUST DEFINING IT.
ACTUALLY, IT SOUNDS KIND OF FUN.
GREAT, AND, CHESTER,
I WANT YOU TO BE MY SECOND
ON THIS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
I JUST...
AH... MM.
SCOTT!
WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU
ABOUT LEAVING
YOUR LAW BOOKS
ALL OVER MY DESK?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
YOUR DESK?
WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO SHARE THIS DESK.
THIS HALF IS MINE.
WELL, THEN WHY DO YOU LEAVE
YOUR DANISH ON MY HALF?
STOP BEING PETTY!
YOU'RE BEING PETTY!
THEY'RE LIKE THIS 24-7.
MAYBE WE DO NEED
TEAM-BUILDING EXERCISES.
JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES
STARTS WITH A SINGLE DANISH.
NO, I DON'T HAVE
ANY OF PHOEBE'S TRACKS.
TERRY WAS VERY
PROTECTIVE OF THEM.
HE KEPT THEM ALL
ON HIS COMPUTER.
THEY AREN'T ON ANY
OF TERRY'S COMPUTERS.
OR ON THE HARD DRIVE
AT THE RECORDING STUDIO.
OH, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT...
YOU KNOW, UNLESS TERRY WAS GOING
TO DELETE THE WHOLE ALBUM.
[NORAH]: WELL, I WOULDN'T PUT
IT PAST HIM.
HE ERASED ALL THE MUSIC
I RECORDED WITH HIM.
HE WAS JEALOUS OF MY TALENT.
THIS IS MY WIFE, NORAH.
SHE'S ALSO THE BACK-UP
SINGER ON PHOEBE'S ALBUM.
THAT'S ME,
JUST A FEW FEET
FROM STARDOM,
BUT IT'S REALLY TERRIBLE
WHAT THEY'RE DOING
TO PHOEBE.
YEAH.
[JONAH]: I HATED TO HAVE
TO TELL THE COPS WHAT I'D HEARD,
BUT I COULDN'T LIE, COULD I?
YOU COULD'VE LIED.
UH, NO, HE COULDN'T.
WELL...
BUT SHE'S DIDN'T MEAN IT
WHEN SHE THREATENED HIM.
THAT'S JUST SOMETHING
THAT PEOPLE SAY.
RIGHT.
[NORAH]: I MEAN, LOOK,
IF IT HADN'T BEEN
FOR PHOEBE BEGGING HIM,
I WOULDN'T EVEN BE
HER BACK-UP SINGER.
I'D BE A WAITRESS
SOMEWHERE.
YEAH.
PHOEBE EVEN SAID
SHE'D TAKE ME WITH HER
WHEN SHE WENT TO EVAN CARLTON.
EVAN CARLTON...
DID YOU SUSPECT
SOMETHING MORE...
PERSONAL...
IN PHOEBE'S RELATIONSHIP
WITH EVAN?
I NEVER THOUGHT SO.
[NORAH]:
SHE COULD DO WORSE,
BUT NO,
I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING.
WELL...
YEAH.
- THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
- YEAH.
[NORAH]: YOU UNDERSTAND,
PHOEBE'S A FRIEND.
I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HER.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
THAT'S NICE TO HEAR.
WHAT I MEAN IS,
IF YOU WANTED ME TO TESTIFY
THAT PHOEBE WAS WITH ME
THAT NIGHT,
I'D BE HAPPY TO.
WERE YOU WITH
HER THAT NIGHT?
WELL, NO.
OKAY, WELL, WE COULDN'T ASK YOU
TO LIE TO PROTECT PHOEBE.
BECAUSE THAT
WOULD BE PERJURY.
RIGHT.
I SEE.
WELL, THERE'S GOT TO BE
SOMETHING WE CAN DO
TO PROTECT HER.
YEAH, WHAT
IS YOUR PLAN?
OUR PLAN
IS TO FIND THE TRUTH.
RIGHT.
OKAY...
BUT YOU KNOW
THAT SHE KILLED HIM, RIGHT?
I MEAN, YOU KNOW THAT?
[MILES]: WELL, THAT
HAS YET TO BE PROVEN.
WELL, THANKS.
IF WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS,
WE'LL BE IN TOUCH.
DO YOU WANT SOME COFFEE?
MM...
I THINK IF I HAVE
ANY MORE COFFEE,
I'LL BE UP FOR A WEEK.
NOT THAT I CAN
SLEEP ANYWAY.
WELL, YOU HAVE
TO DRINK SOMETHING.
YOU HAVE TO STAY HYDRATED.
OKAY, FIRST OFF,
COFFEE IS A DIURETIC.
SECOND, REALLY, CLAIRE?
THAT'S MY PROBLEM?
MY PROBLEM--
MY SISTER'S ON TRIAL FOR MURDER,
AND I'VE GOT TO STAY HYDRATED?
MY DAD USED TO SAY
THAT YOU HAVE TO HANDLE
WHAT YOU CAN, WHEN YOU CAN,
AND RIGHT NOW,
YOU CAN HANDLE STAYING HYDRATED.
MY DAD ALWAYS
USED TO SAY,
"PICK THAT UP!"
I DON'T WANT ANYTHING.
THAT'S GOOD,
'CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
BUT GRAPE SODA.
GIVE ME A GRAPE SODA, PLEASE.
WHAT?
OH, YEAH, I'LL
HAVE A GRAPE SODA.
I LOVE GRAPE SODA.
WE HAVE GRAPE SODA?
NO, I USED TO DRINK TONS
OF GRAPE SODA AS A YOUTH.
THEY USED TO CALL ME
"THE GRAPE SODA KID".
PLEASE.
IT'S A WONDER YOU SURVIVED.
YOU DON'T LIKE GRAPE SODA?
I...
NEVER TRIED IT.
NEVER... YOU'VE NEVER TRIED...
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
YOU'RE GOING TO TRY
A GRAPE SODA RIGHT NOW.
NO.
RIGHT NOW, TRY A GRAPE SODA.
NO.
TRY IT FOR ME.
OKAY...
FINE.
YOU DON'T THINK
SHE'S GUILTY, RIGHT?
NOT FOR A MINUTE.
OKAY.
YOU'RE NOT JUST SAYING THAT
'CAUSE OF... ME?
NO.
NO, I'D FEEL BAD
FOR YOU,
BUT I WOULD DEFINITELY
TELL YOU
IF I THOUGHT
SHE WAS GUILTY.
SHE'S NOT.
THANKS.
MM...
THAT TASTES
NOTHING LIKE GRAPE.
I KNOW.
IT'S LIKE NO OTHER FLAVOR
KNOWN TO MAN.
IT'S EXCELLENT.
WHY DO THEY CALL IT GRAPE?
YOU'VE GOT TO CALL IT SOMETHING.
THAT'S THE LEGALESE.
MM.
I KIND OF LIKE IT.
[CHUCKLING]
I KNOW,
IT'S KIND OF AMAZING.
IT GROWS ON YOU.
SO...
NOW WOULD BE A TERRIBLE
TIME FOR A KISS...
RIGHT?
TOTALLY.
YEAH.
- SHALL WE WAIT 'TIL...
- YEAH.
- TILL OUR HEADS ARE CLEAR.
- TILL OUR HEADS ARE CLEAR.
RIGHT. YES. OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
WELL...
GOOD NIGHT, COUNSELOR.
GOOD NIGHT.
I'VE GOT TO GET
MORE OF THIS STUFF.
"IT IS A FAR, FAR BETTER THING
THAT I DO,
THAN I HAVE EVER DONE;
IT IS A FAR, FAR BETTER REST
THAT I GO TO,
THAN I HAVE EVER KNOWN."
THE END.
SO HE WENT
TO THE GUILLOTINE?
YEP.
FOR A GOOD CAUSE.
NICE BEDTIME STORY, MOM.
IT'S A CLASSIC.
I LIKED IT.
TOMORROW,
WE START ON OLIVER TWIST.
MOM?
YEAH?
I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT
TO PLAY BASEBALL ANYMORE.
WHAT?
WHY NOT?
ARE THE BOYS
BEING MEAN TO YOU?
NO, NO, THEY'RE NICE.
WHAT, IS THE COACH
GIVING YOU TROUBLE?
I DON'T THINK SO.
THEN WHAT IS IT?
THEY DON'T MAKE ME FEEL
LIKE I'M PART OF THE TEAM.
YOU KNOW, THEY...
THEY TREAT ME LIKE
I'M SOMETHING SPECIAL.
WELL, YOU ARE
SOMETHING SPECIAL.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
THEY TREAT ME
LIKE I'M A GIRL.
OH, HONEY...
YOU ARE A GIRL.
I KNOW,
BUT I JUST...
I THINK IT'D BE
BETTER IF I QUIT...
YOU KNOW, FOCUS
ON DEBATE TEAM.
DO YOU LIKE BASEBALL?
I LOVE IT.
THEN YOU SHOULD DO
WHAT YOU LOVE.
I GUESS SO.
I'LL GIVE IT
ANOTHER SHOT.
JUST SEE HOW IT GOES.
YOU WERE LISTENING?
WELL, IT SAVES TIME.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I THINK SHE JUST WANTS
TO BE A PART OF THE TEAM.
WELL, I KNOW
HOW SHE FEELS.
OH, SO THIS IS
ABOUT YOU, NOW?
IT'S ABOUT ME,
HER, YOU.
IT'S ABOUT ALL OF US.
I'M GOING TO
GIVE THAT COACH
A PIECE OF MY MIND.
ALL RIGHT, CAN I--
CAN I JUST SAY SOMETHING?
CAN I STOP YOU?
REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE,
AND I USED TO TELL YOU
THAT YOU CAN CATCH MORE FLIES
WITH HONEY THAN WITH VINEGAR?
YEAH, YOU KNOW,
I NEVER UNDERSTOOD THAT.
WHY WOULD YOU WANT
TO ATTRACT FLIES?
ALL RIGHT,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
JUST... LET ME TALK TO HIM.
YOU KNOW THAT I WAS VOTED
"MOST LIKELY
TO GET WHAT SHE WANTS"
IN MY SENIOR CLASS.
YEAH, HOW DID YOU WIN THAT,
ANYWAY?
I WANTED IT.
EASY.
YEAH, I TOOK
A LOT OF PICTURES
OF THAT LAST SESSION.
YOU KNOW, FOR PUBLICITY
AND FOR THE ALBUM COVER.
HERE THEY ARE.
DID ANYTHING
STRIKE YOU AS ODD
ABOUT THAT LAST SESSION?
YOU MEAN ASIDE FROM TERRY
BEING A ROYAL SLEAZEBAG?
HE HAD HER SO UPSET
THAT SHE FIDGETED
WITH HER MIC STAND
ALL THROUGH THE SESSION.
YOU CAN EVEN SEE THAT
IN THIS PICTURE.
I SWEAR, IT'S AS IF
HE LIKED TO SEE HER CRY.
WHAT DID HE SAY
TO MAKE HER CRY?
SPECIFICALLY?
HE SAID SHE HAD NO TALENT
AND THAT SHE WAS NOTHING
WITHOUT HIM.
OKAY, BUT...
CAN YOU THINK OF ANYONE
WHO WOULD WANT TO KILL HIM?
ONLY EVERYBODY
WHO EVER MET HIM.
RIGHT.
THAT NARROWS IT DOWN.
THANKS.
SO, WAS THERE
ANYTHING UNUSUAL
ABOUT THE LAST
RECORDING SESSION?
I'VE TOLD YOU, NO.
TERRY WAS ABUSIVE,
BUT THAT WAS NORMAL.
DID YOU ALWAYS HAVE
THAT MUCH TROUBLE
WITH YOUR MIC STAND?
I DON'T KNOW.
TERRY HAD ME SO RATTLED.
I WAS-- I WAS HAVING TROUBLE
WITH EVERYTHING.
THINK.
PLEASE.
UM...
I GUESS IT WAS A LITTLE...
I DON'T KNOW, SLIPPERY.
SO WHY DIDN'T YOU SWITCH IT OUT
FOR ANOTHER ONE?
I KNOW IT'S SILLY, BUT...
THAT PARTICULAR STAND
WAS KIND OF A GOOD LUCK CHARM.
I ALWAYS USED IT,
AND EVERYONE WOULD KID ME
ABOUT IT,
BUT WHEN I STOOD
IN FRONT OF THAT STAND...
I COULD REALLY SING.
HMM.
IT LOOKS LIKE
AN ORDINARY MIC STAND.
I KNOW, BUT LOOK
AT THE COLOR PICTURE.
YOU SEE THE THING ON TOP
THAT YOU USE
TO TIGHTEN IT?
IT'S RED.
THE CLIP?
YEAH, YOU KNEW THAT?
YEAH, I KNEW THAT.
WHAT, YOU DIDN'T?
NAH, I HAD
TO LOOK IT UP.
I'M WAY AHEAD OF YOU.
WHY ARE WE LOOKING
FOR THIS?
I DON'T KNOW.
IT IS JUST A HUNCH.
YEAH, WELL...
ALL RIGHT.
HUNCH IS GOOD.
HUNCH IS ALL WE HAVE.
AH!
WHAT?
I JUST...
I SWORE I WOULDN'T
LET HER DOWN AGAIN,
AND NOW,
HERE WE ARE.
YOU SAID THAT EARLIER...
AND PHOEBE SWORE
THAT YOU NEVER DID
LET HER DOWN.
WELL, SHE...
SHE'S BEING KIND.
SHE WAS...
WHEN MY DAD AND HIS WIFE DIED,
SHE WAS JUST A TEENAGER,
YOU KNOW,
AND...
THAT'S A ROUGH TIME
TO BE AN ORPHAN,
AND I WAS STARTING OUT
AS A LAWYER, YOU KNOW,
HUNGRY, GOT TO SUCCEED,
SO I WASN'T REALLY THERE
FOR HER, YOU KNOW,
AT LEAST NOT THE WAY
I SHOULD HAVE BEEN,
AND SHE GOT IN TROUBLE,
LOST HER WAY.
MM, I'M SORRY.
YEAH.
THEN... YOU KNOW...
SHE DISCOVERED MUSIC...
YOU KNOW,
DISCOVERED THIS,
AND IT...
IT SAVED HER.
YOU KNOW,
SHE CLEANED HERSELF UP,
STARTED OVER.
I WAS STARTING TO MAKE MONEY
AS A LAWYER,
SO I COULD PUT HER THROUGH
A FINE ARTS COLLEGE.
THAT WAS NICE,
YOU GAVE HER...
I MEAN,
YOU HELPED HER THERE, RIGHT?
RIGHT, BUT THAT WAS
AFTER THE FACT.
YOU KNOW, TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.
SHE SAVED HERSELF,
WHICH IS WHY I NEED
TO SAVE HER NOW.
I OWE HER.
I REMEMBER WHEN MY FATHER DIED.
I SWORE I WOULDN'T LET HIS FIRM
GO UNDER.
AND... YOU DIDN'T.
YEAH...
AND YOU...
YOU WON'T LET PHOEBE DOWN.
THANK YOU.
SORRY, I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE, UM...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?
WE WERE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING.
A MIC STAND.
OH, UH,
WE HAVE LOTS OF THOSE.
NO, NOT...
NO ORDINARY MIC STAND.
THIS ONE.
UH...
WOW, YEAH.
YOU RECOGNIZE IT?
UH, YEP,
THAT'S PHOEBE'S
FAVORITE MIC STAND.
ISN'T IT HERE?
NOPE, CAN'T FIND IT.
WELL, THAT'S WEIRD.
IT'S USUALLY RIGHT HERE.
WELL, IT'S NOT HERE NOW.
[MUTTERING]
[STAMMERING]
- UH, CAREFUL, PLEASE.
- OH, SORRY.
THANK YOU.
ACTUALLY, IF YOU...
GO OUT THAT WAY?
YEAH, OKAY, GREAT.
TERRIFIC.
WE WON'T SIT
ON THAT ANYMORE.
OKAY.
THANKS.
THANK YOU.
UH-OH,
YOU'RE MAKING A FACE.
WHAT'S THAT FACE?
YOU HAVE AN IDEA?
MAYBE.
'CAUSE WHEN YOU MAKE
THAT FACE WHEN I'M A D.A.,
I KNOW I'M IN TROUBLE
'CAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT
TO WIN THE CASE.
ARE YOU ABOUT
TO WIN THIS CASE?
LET'S NOT GET AHEAD
OF OURSELVES, BUT...
LET'S SAY IT'S A STEP
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
I LIKE THAT.
YEAH, ME TOO.
GOOD JOB!
VINCENT.
YOU'RE OKAY, FELLAS.
EASY OUT, EASY OUT.
HE'S STILL NOT
PLAYING HER.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL GO TALK TO HIM.
HE SAID SHE WAS ONE
OF HIS BEST PLAYERS.
NO, HE SAID THAT
SHE WASN'T BAD.
HIS TONE SAID
SHE WAS ONE OF HIS BEST.
YEAH, YEAH, HIS TONE
WAS PRETTY POSITIVE.
I'M GOING
TO GO TALK TO HIM.
WHAT DID WE DECIDE
ABOUT HONEY AND VINEGAR?
YEAH, I'M GOING
TO GIVE HIM SOME VINEGAR.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I LOOKED UP THAT SAYING,
AND YOU KNOW
WHO SAID IT?
- WHO?
- BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
NOW, DO YOU REALLY WANT
TO MOCK
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN?
MAYBE.
SERIOUSLY?
NO, YOU DON'T.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
OKAY, FELLAS,
EASY OUT, EASY OUT.
- GOOD GAME.
- KIMINSKY, WARM UP.
YOU KNOW, I CAN'T
HELP BUT NOTICE
THAT YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED
THE WHOLE TEAM.
MOST OF THEM.
MOST OF THEM, YES.
MOST OF THEM.
BUT NOT ALL OF THEM.
NO, NOT ALL OF THEM.
NOT LOU.
NO, NOT LOU...
PLAY THE BALL, PLAY THE BALL!
AH, WHY HAVEN'T YOU PLAYED LOU?
I'LL GET AROUND TO HER.
OH, YOU WILL?
YEP, DON'T YOU WORRY.
IN WHAT INNING?
YOU MEAN, WHAT GAME?
WHAT, SO... YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO USE HER IN THIS GAME?
DON'T THINK SO...
COME ON, BLUE, THAT WAS INSIDE!
DO YOU THINK
THAT IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE
FOR US TO HAVE A DISCUSSION
ABOUT THIS?
A DISCUSSION?
LIKE COFFEE?
OKAY.
OKAY...
THIS WEEK?
SURE.
IT'S TWO-WAY, BOYS,
TWO-WAY.
WELL?
WELL, IT'S WORKING.
I MEAN, IT MIGHT TAKE
A LITTLE LONGER
THAN WE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT,
BUT HE'LL COME AROUND.
I GIVE HONEY ONE WEEK,
NO MATTER
WHAT BEN FRANKLIN SAYS.
JUST TRUST ME.
MS. DARROW WANTED ME
TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT WHAT WE ARE.
SO, MY FIRST QUESTION IS...
WHAT ARE WE?
A LAW FIRM.
WRONG.
WE'RE A TRIBE.
A TRIBE IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE
CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER,
CONNECTED TO AN IDEA,
BUT I DON'T THINK
WE REALLY KNOW EACH OTHER.
SO THE FIRST THING
WE'RE GOING TO DO
IS GO AROUND AND TELL EACH OTHER
THREE LITTLE-KNOWN
THINGS ABOUT OURSELVES.
YOU FIRST, ZOEY.
WELL...
I WAS BORN IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
I USED TO BE A MARINE.
I SERVED A TOUR
IN AFGHANISTAN.
WOW.
I DID NOT KNOW THAT.
YOU NEVER ASKED.
SEE?
YOUR TURN, WINNIE.
UM...
MY FIRST NAME IS GODWIN.
I KNOW, WEIRD.
MY MOTHER
WAS A HIPPIE,
AND I'M AN EXCELLENT BOWLER.
[CHESTER]:
GOOD.
JO...
MS. DARROW.
I SHOT A MAN IN RENO
JUST TO WATCH HIM DIE.
REALLY?
THAT IS A JOHNNY CASH LYRIC.
I CAN'T... DON'T YOU GUYS
EVEN KNOW YOUR CLASSICS?
[CHUCKLING]
WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU.
WHO'S NEXT?
YOU ARE.
NO, I'M THE MODERATOR.
COME ON.
- CHESTER.
- FAIR IS FAIR.
COME ON, CHESTER.
OKAY.
UH...
I HAVE A SLIGHT CASE OF OCD.
IT TOOK ME FOUR YEARS
TO GET THROUGH LAW SCHOOL...
BUT I GRADUATED
TOP OF MY CLASS.
MY FATHER'S STILL
ASHAMED OF ME.
HEY, YOU GUYS READY TO GO
TO THE PRE-TRIAL HEARING?
EVERYBODY READY?
[JOANNA]: GIVE THEM
A MINUTE.
THEY'RE BONDING.
IT'S OKAY.
I FOUND OUT SOMETHING
INTERESTING
ABOUT THE WOMAN
WHO OWNED THE GUN.
OH, MRS. HUDDLESTON, YEAH.
YEAH, SHE USED TO BE A NANNY.
AMONG THE CHILDREN
THAT SHE CARED FOR...
LINDA RUTHERFORD.
USED TO BE LINDA CARLTON.
NOW SHE'S LINDA YASBECK.
TERRY'S WIDOW.
EXACTLY.
SHE GOES TO VISIT HER
EVERY OTHER MONTH.
SO SHE COULD HAVE STOLEN
THE GUN?
MANY TIMES OVER.
YOU DID A GOOD JOB, SCOTT.
DIDN'T I?
OKAY, NOW, THIS IS JUST
THE PRE-TRIAL HEARING.
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO DO ANYTHING.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
ASK YOU ANY QUESTIONS.
JUST... BE HERE.
RIGHT, AND
LOOK INNOCENT.
WHICH YOU ARE, RIGHT?
YES!
OKAY.
SHE'S GOOD.
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE HER.
I NEVER UNDERESTIMATE PEOPLE.
GOOD.
WHY, IS SHE BETTER THAN I AM?
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
NO, OF COURSE NOT!
WHY DO YOU THINK I HIRED YOU,
JUST 'CAUSE YOU'RE CUTE?
- THANK YOU.
- YOU'RE WELCOME.
WAIT, YOU
THINK I'M CUTE?
YEAH.
REALLY?
EVERYBODY THINKS
YOU'RE CUTE.
SO, LIKE...
- HEARING'S THIS WAY.
- OKAY.
I OBJECT.
THERE'S ALREADY BEEN
A GUNSHOT-RESIDUE TEST
ADMITTED AS EVIDENCE.
THAT IS TRUE, MS. DARROW.
I DON'T MEAN TO DISPARAGE
THE STATE'S TEST.
I ONLY WANT TO VERIFY IT
AND EXPAND ON IT.
YOUR HONOR,
I DON'T SEE THE NEED
FOR US TO HAVE TO GO OVER--
I DON'T SEE ANY HARM.
I'M GOING TO ALLOW IT.
JUDGE BATCHELLER ALWAYS
SAYS THAT AT FIRST.
I KNOW, CHESTER.
PAY ATTENTION.
SO, DR. ARMSTRONG,
IS THIS THE RESULT
OF THE NEW TEST
YOU ADMINISTERED
ON PHOEBE STRASBERG'S HANDS?
[DR. ARMSTRONG]: YES.
THE TESTS WERE
SOME DAYS AFTER THE EVENT,
SO IT WAS DIFFICULT
TO OBTAIN ANY DEFINITE RESULTS.
BUT YOU DID?
I DID.
I'M AN EXPERT.
YES, I KNOW,
WE ESTABLISHED THAT,
AND WHAT WERE THE RESULTS
YOU FOUND?
THE RESULTS CAME BACK POSITIVE.
[D.A.]:
I OBJECT AGAIN.
THIS MERELY CONFIRMS
THE STATE'S EVIDENCE,
AND IT'S A WASTE
OF THE COURT'S TIME.
I BEG THE COURT'S INDULGENCE,
YOUR HONOR.
FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES,
MS. DARROW.
THANK YOU.
SO, IT CAME BACK POSITIVE
FOR GUNSHOT RESIDUE?
[DR. ARMSTRONG]:
YES.
[CLAIRE]:
WHAT ELSE?
OBJECTION!
OVERRULED.
BRAKE FLUID.
BRAKE FLUID?
LIKE, FROM A CAR?
[DR. ARMSTRONG]: INDEED.
IT COULD BE EITHER ONE.
BRAKE FLUID CAN PRODUCE
A FALSE POSITIVE IN A GSR TEST.
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS,
YOUR HONOR.
SCORE ONE FOR MS. DARROW.
[JUDGE]: ALTHOUGH
THE DEFENSE HAS PRESENTED
SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS
AS TO THE VALIDITY
OF THE GSR TEST,
THE COURT FEELS
THAT THE STATE'S CASE
IS STRONG ENOUGH TO GO TO TRIAL.
BAIL HAS BEEN SET
FOR $500,000.
[RAPPING GAVEL]
I'LL FIND A WAY.
SO, COACH REED...
I FEEL FUNNY
CALLING YOU COACH.
WHAT DO YOUR
FRIENDS CALL YOU?
COACH.
REALLY?
YOU CAN CALL
ME JOANNA.
JO?
WHY NOT?
LET'S TALK ABOUT LOU.
WHAT ABOUT HER?
DO YOU THINK
SHE'S A GOOD PLAYER?
COULD BE.
IF SHE PLAYED MORE?
COULD BE.
SO WHY DON'T YOU
LET HER PLAY MORE...
OR AT ALL?
I DON'T KNOW.
WHY DON'T YOU THINK
I PLAY HER MORE?
BECAUSE SHE'S A GIRL.
- THAT'D BE DISCRIMINATION.
- YES, IT WOULD.
SHE'S ON THE TEAM.
TRUE.
SO I'M NOT DISCRIMINATING
AGAINST HER.
NEXT QUESTION?
I...
GIRLS HAVE EVERY BIT
AS MUCH RIGHT
TO PLAY BASEBALL
AS BOYS DO.
OF COURSE THEY DO.
YOU KNOW, THEY'RE
JUST AS STRONG.
THAT'S A MATTER OF OPINION,
I GUESS.
SO ARE YOU WORRIED
ABOUT HER GETTING HURT?
I DON'T WANT
ANY OF MY KIDS TO GET HURT,
THE BOYS OR THE GIRLS.
OH, SO YOU'RE
PROTECTING HER,
AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE
NOT LETTING HER PLAY?
IT'S A BOY'S GAME, JO.
IT'S NOT "JO",
IT'S JOANNA.
NO, IT'S MS. DARROW,
AND WHO SAYS
IT'S A BOY'S GAME?
EVERYBODY.
I MEAN, FOR A GIRL
TO REALLY BE ABLE TO COMPETE,
SHE'D HAVE TO BE EXCEPTIONAL.
OH!
OH, SO SHE'D HAVE TO BE
BETTER THAN THE REST
JUST TO GET TO PLAY?
YEAH, I GUESS,
BUT WHY GET
HER HOPES UP ANYWAY?
LET HER PLAY SOFTBALL, JO.
THAT'S A GIRL'S SPORT.
BUT SHE LOVES
BASEBALL.
I MEAN, WHY SHOULDN'T
SHE BE ABLE
TO PLAY THE GAME
SHE LOVES?
I MEAN, ESPECIALLY
IF SHE'S GOOD AT IT,
AND SHE IS GOOD
AT IT...
AND IF YOU'RE GOOD
AT ONE THING,
JUST ONE THING,
THAT CAN AFFECT THE
REST OF YOUR LIFE,
AND... IT CAN MAKE
YOU BELIEVE
THAT YOU CAN
DO ANYTHING.
YOU REALLY WANT TO STAND
IN THE WAY OF THAT?
OKAY.
I'LL GIVE HER A SHOT.
REALLY?
SURE THING.
IT'S GOOD COFFEE.
THE NEXT ONE'S ON ME.
THANK YOU FOR
BAILING ME OUT.
OF COURSE.
I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW
HOW I'M GOING
TO PAY YOU BACK.
I'LL GET THE MONEY BACK
WHEN YOU SHOW UP
FOR TRIAL... RIGHT?
RIGHT. OF COURSE.
WHERE ELSE WOULD I BE?
I KNOW THINGS DON'T LOOK GREAT
RIGHT NOW,
BUT CLAIRE IS THE BEST
ATTORNEY IN THE STATE.
I KNOW, BUT...
JUST GOT TO HAVE FAITH.
OKAY?
OKAY. OKAY.
OKAY.
I'M SORRY.
IT'S NO PROBLEM.
IT'S OUR SPACE.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?
IT ACTUALLY WORKED.
HUH.
CLAIRE?
WHAT?
YOU WERE ON ANOTHER PLANET.
YOU WERE IN ORBIT THERE.
DID YOU BRING ANYTHING BACK?
NO.
NO.
DID YOU TALK TO MRS. YASBECK?
YES, I DID.
OKAY.
SHE TOOK THE GUN
AWAY FROM MRS. HUDDLESTON
BECAUSE SHE WAS AFRAID
SHE WAS GOING
TO HURT HERSELF WITH IT
BECAUSE SHE'S
IN EARLY-STAGE DEMENTIA.
SO MRS. YASBECK SAYS.
SHE GAVE THE GUN TO TERRY,
WHO KEPT IT IN HIS OFFICE.
SO ANYONE COULD HAVE GOTTEN
THEIR HANDS ON IT.
INCLUDING PHOEBE.
UGH, SO WE'RE BACK
TO SQUARE ONE.
DO YOU THINK
SHE'S BEING FRAMED?
I THINK
THERE'S TWO POSSIBILITIES.
ONE,
SHE'S BEING FRAMED...
AND I DON'T THINK YOU WANT
TO CONSIDER THE SECOND
POSSIBILITY...
I CONSIDER ALL POSSIBILITIES.
THAT SHE KILLED TERRY YASBECK?
SHE DIDN'T KILL HIM.
LOOK, USING OCCAM'S RAZOR...
OH, OCCAM'S RAZOR AGAIN,
I HATE OCCAM'S RAZOR.
OKAY, THERE ARE
TWO POSSIBILITIES.
THE SIMPLEST ONE
IS THE MOST LIKELY.
WHAT DOES OCCAM KNOW?
I DIDN'T EVEN THINK
THERE WAS AN OCCAM.
WELL, THERE WAS.
HE WAS A FRANCISCAN FRIAR.
OKAY, WELL, NOW I FEEL BAD,
BUT HE WASN'T A LAWYER.
NO, NO,
HE WASN'T A LAWYER.
YOU DON'T THINK
SHE DID IT, DO YOU?
JUDGING BY THE FACTS,
I THINK SHE DID, YES.
BUT WHAT DOES YOUR GUT SAY?
MY GUT TELLS ME
THAT YOU REALLY WANT HER
TO BE INNOCENT.
- THAT WASN'T THE QUESTION.
- I KNOW.
CHESTER?
HAVE YOU LEARNED ANYTHING
FROM YASBECK'S COMPUTER SYSTEM?
JUST THAT I DON'T CARE
FOR CONTEMPORARY MUSIC.
KEEP LOOKING.
UH, I THINK I MAY
HAVE SOMETHING HERE.
WHAT?
YOU WANTED ME
TO CALL DR. ARMSTRONG
AND HAVE HIM ANALYZE
THE BRAKE FLUID.
WELL, HE CAME BACK
WITH SOMETHING
PRETTY INTERESTING.
IT'S A BRAND OF FLUID THAT
ISN'T USED VERY MUCH ANYMORE,
MOSTLY ON OLD MUSCLE CARS.
UH-HUH...
YOU'RE THINKING
JONAH'S MUSTANG?
I AM.
OKAY...
SO YOU THINK
THAT MAYBE DELIBERATELY,
SOMEONE PUT
BRAKE-FLUID OIL
ON HER HANDS
TO CAUSE A FALSE POSITIVE
ON THE GUNSHOT-RESIDUE TEST?
THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT I'M THINKING.
ALL RIGHT, WELL, LET'S
TRACK THIS THROUGH, THEN.
WHO WOULD KNOW
THAT THAT WOULD WORK?
UH... SOMEBODY
WITH A BACKGROUND IN, UH...
SCIENCE, CHEMISTRY,
LAW ENFORCEMENT?
OR HE COULD HAVE GOOGLED IT.
THAT'S WHAT I DID.
I HATE THE INTERNET.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
OH, WAIT, SO...
YOU'RE SAYING
YOU THINK
THE BRAKE FLUID CAME
FROM JONAH'S CAR?
I'M JUST SAYING, IT'S
WORTH CHECKING OUT.
ALL RIGHT.
[RINGING DOORBELL]
[KNOCKING]
[RINGING DOORBELL]
PHOEBE?
MILES!
UH, I WAS JUST LOOKING
FOR JONAH.
WE ARE TOO.
WELL, THERE'S A SIDE DOOR.
[COUGHING]
OH, MY GOSH.
JONAH!
JONAH!
OH, MY GOSH.
CALL 911.
HEY!
HEY, HEY...
HOW'S JONAH?
IS HE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT?
NOBODY WILL TELL ME ANYTHING.
HE HAS A CONCUSSION.
HE'S GOING TO RECOVER,
BUT IF
WE HADN'T COME IN,
HE WOULD HAVE DIED
FROM CARBON-MONOXIDE
POISONING.
SO DO YOU THINK
SOMEBODY HIT HIM ON THE HEAD
AND THEN STARTED THE CAR
TO KILL HIM?
YES.
CONSENSUS OF OPINION
SEEMS TO BE THAT WAS YOU.
I SWEAR TO GOD,
I JUST GOT THERE
WHEN YOU DID.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING THERE
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
I GOT A PHONE CALL.
FROM WHO?
I DON'T KNOW.
THE NUMBER WAS BLOCKED.
SO WHY'D YOU ANSWER IT?
I JUST DID. YOU KNOW,
SOMETIMES, YOU JUST DO.
NO, I DON'T.
I DON'T EVER...
WELL, I JUST DID.
OKAY.
ANYWAY,
WHO WAS IT?
I STILL DIDN'T KNOW.
THE VOICE WAS ALTERED
ELECTRONICALLY.
WHAT DID IT SAY?
THAT JONAH HAD MY ALBUM.
AND YOU BELIEVED IT?
NO, OF COURSE,
I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT.
I STILL HAD TO GO CHECK IT OUT
AND SEE, DIDN'T I?
I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T CARE
ABOUT THE ALBUM.
IT'S STILL TWO YEARS' WORTH
OF WORK,
OF SWEAT AND TEARS.
I AT LEAST HAD TO GO
TALK TO JONAH,
JUST SEE IF HE HAD IT,
AND THAT'S WHEN I RAN
INTO YOU GUYS.
SO THE ONLY ONE
WHO CAN CORROBORATE THIS STORY
IS AN UNIDENTIFIED VOICE
ON THE TELEPHONE?
DOESN'T SOUND TOO GOOD,
DOES IT?
NO, IT DOESN'T.
[MILES]:
NOT SO GOOD, NO,
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE'LL GO TALK
TO JONAH...
YEAH.
SEE IF HE HAS ANYTHING
HE CAN SAY ABOUT THIS.
WELL, TELL HIM
I SAY HELLO...
AND THAT I DIDN'T TRY
TO KILL HIM.
YEAH, LOOK,
PHOEBES...
THIS IS ALL GOING
TO BE OKAY.
I KNOW YOU'RE LYING, BUT...
THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT.
HANG TIGHT.
I WAS LUCKY.
YOU CALL THIS LUCKY?
CALL ME A "SKULL HALF-CRUSHED"
KIND OF GUY.
ANOTHER FEW MINUTES,
AND I'D HAVE BEEN DEAD.
I LIKE THAT
HALF-CRUSHED ANALOGY.
HALF-CRUSHED IS GOOD,
FULL-CRUSHED IS BAD.
DID YOU SEE WHO HIT YOU
ON THE HEAD?
I DON'T REMEMBER.
IT'S ALL KIND OF JUMBLED.
DID YOU SEE PHOEBE
IN THE GARAGE?
I DON'T REMEMBER.
DO YOU HAVE
PHOEBE'S ALBUM?
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
WHY WOULD YOU ASK THAT?
I ASK YOU THAT
BECAUSE...
PHOEBE GOT A--
WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT,
AN ANONYMOUS CALL FROM AN--
- A ROBOT...
- ELECTRONICALLY-ALTERED VOICE
THAT SAID
YOU HAD HER ALBUM.
WELL, I DON'T.
WHO WOULD MAKE A CALL LIKE THAT?
WE DON'T KNOW.
DID ANYBODY ELSE HEAR THE CALL?
- NO.
- NO.
WELL, THEN HOW DO YOU KNOW...?
WE DON'T. WE...
WE DON'T KNOW
THAT PHOEBE'S TELLING THE TRUTH.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHO HAS THE ALBUM?
WELL, I COULDN'T SAY.
YOU COULDN'T SAY?
WELL, UNLESS...
EVAN CARLTON.
HOW WOULD HE
GET IT?
I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST KNOW THAT HE WAS TRYING
TO GET IT AWAY FROM TERRY.
HOW?
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE HE WENT TO SEE TERRY
THE NIGHT HE...
THE NIGHT HE WAS KILLED?
YEAH,
IT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE BEEN.
OKAY, WELL...
OH, UM...
PHOEBE SAYS TO SAY HI...
AND SHE DIDN'T TRY
TO KILL YOU.
OKAY.
OKAY.
TELL HER I BELIEVE HER.
I WILL.
FEEL BETTER.
[HOSPITAL P.A.]: DR. FORREST,
PLEASE DIAL 118.
NO, EVAN CARLTON WANTED
TO STEAL PHOEBE AWAY
FROM TERRY,
BECAUSE TERRY STOLE
EVAN'S WIFE AWAY FROM HIM.
HE HATED TERRY.
SO YOU THINK
EVAN CARLTON
KILLED
TERRY YASBECK?
TRY THIS ONE OUT
FOR SIZE.
EVAN GOES TO TERRY
AND SAYS, "HEY,
I'M GOING TO TAKE
PHOEBE AWAY FROM YOU,
AND NOT ONLY THAT,
I'M GOING TO TAKE PHOEBE'S
ALBUM AWAY FROM YOU."
TERRY REFUSES, OF COURSE.
THINGS ESCALATE,
OLD TENSIONS BOIL OVER...
BOOM, EVAN PULLS
A GUN ON TERRY.
YEAH, AS A D.A.,
I WOULDN'T PROSECUTE HIM.
LET'S GO TALK TO HIM.
MAYBE HE'LL CONFESS.
SHOULD I BE GOOD COP
OR BAD COP?
LET'S BE LAWYERS.
THAT'LL NEVER WORK.
[MILES]: SO, THE LAST TIME
WE WERE HERE,
WE ESTABLISHED
THAT TERRY YASBECK
STOLE YOUR WIFE.
THAT'S FAIR TO SAY?
HE COULDN'T STEAL HER.
I DIDN'T OWN LINDA,
I WAS MARRIED TO HER,
AND YEAH, SHE CHOSE
TERRY OVER ME,
AND I LET HER GO,
END OF STORY.
AND YOU DIDN'T
RESENT THAT AT ALL?
I'VE PUT THAT ALL BEHIND ME.
YOU SEEM AWFULLY FORGIVING
TOWARD TERRY YASBECK,
I MEAN,
COMPARED TO THE OTHER DAY
WHEN WE WERE HERE.
YEAH, YOU KNOW,
I FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE SPOKEN
ABOUT HIM THAT WAY
SO SOON AFTER...
AFTER YOU KILLED HIM?
LOOK, I DIDN'T KILL TERRY, OKAY?
BUT YOU HAD
A REASON TO, RIGHT?.
RIGHT, LOOK...
I GUESS I SHOULDN'T BE
SURPRISED SHE TOLD YOU,
SEEING AS HOW
YOU ARE HER BROTHER.
SHE IS MY SISTER,
BUT WE'D LIKE TO HEAR IT
COMING FROM YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
I'M IN LOVE WITH YOUR SISTER,
AND WHEN I FOUND OUT
HOW TERRY WAS TREATING HER,
AFTER WHAT HE DID TO ME...
YEAH, I WAS ANGRY,
VERY ANGRY.
SO YOU WENT
TO SEE HIM THAT NIGHT.
HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?
I DIDN'T...
UNTIL JUST NOW.
YEAH, YEAH, OKAY,
I WENT TO SEE HIM,
BUT IT WAS JUST TO GET HER
OUT OF THE CONTRACT.
I WANTED TO GET HER ALBUM BACK,
AND WE GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT.
AND?
AND THAT'S IT.
HE WOULDN'T DO EITHER.
HE JUST LAUGHED AT ME,
SO I WENT HOME AND...
YOU KNOW, I FIGURED I'D LET
THE LAWYERS HANDLE IT.
AND THAT'S IT?
THAT'S IT.
I DON'T BELIEVE
YOU, MR. CARLTON.
WHAT DO YOU WANT, HUH?
DO YOU WANT TO LOOK
AT MY COMPUTER,
SEE IF HER ALBUM'S THERE?
WE DON'T HAVE
A WARRANT.
YOU DON'T NEED ONE.
I'LL LOOK FOR YOU.
HER ALBUM IS CALLED
"JOURNEY TO
THE CENTER OF MY SOUL."

WHAT'S THAT, MR. CARLTON?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

- NO.

DO YOU KNOW
EVAN IS IN LOVE WITH YOU?
YES.
YES.
ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH HIM?
YES.
YES?
WHY...
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US THAT?
I JUST, I DIDN'T THINK
IT WAS IMPORTANT.
OR WAS IT BECAUSE
YOU WERE PROTECTING HIM?
WAS IT BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT
THAT GAVE HIM A MOTIVE?
DO YOU THINK
EVAN CARLTON KILLED TERRY?
I... I THINK
HE COULD HAVE...
FOR ME.
[COACH]: OKAY, FELLAS,
THAT'S TWO-WAY!
TWO-WAY, FELLAS!
GOOD JOB!
HE'S STILL NOT
PLAYING HER.
HE'S GOING
TO PUT HER IN.
HE'S JUST WAITING
FOR THE RIGHT TIME.
HE'S ACTUALLY
A VERY REASONABLE GUY.
YOU LIKED HIM?
I DIDN'T SAY THAT.
I JUST SAID THAT
HE'S A REASONABLE GUY.
YOU WEREN'T TALKING
ABOUT HIM THAT WAY
BEFORE YOU GUYS
HAD COFFEE.
WAIT A MINUTE...
YOU LIKE-LIKE HIM.
I DON'T
LIKE-LIKE HIM.
YES!
NO, I JUST THINK
THAT YOU AND I
MAYBE, UM...
YOU KNOW, WE JUST
DIDN'T GIVE HIM
THE BENEFIT
OF THE DOUBT.
OH, BOY,
YOU REALLY LIKE HIM.
YOU KNOW, I JUST...
BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY HE HASN'T
PUT HER IN YET.
WELL, I DON'T CARE
IF YOU LIKE-LIKE HIM.
IF HE DOESN'T PUT HER IN...
I KNOW, YOU'RE GOING
TO GIVE HIM A PIECE
OF YOUR MIND.
DON'T THINK I WON'T!
I'M SURE YOU WILL.
[CLAIRE]:
IT'S THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH.
I CAN'T BELIEVE HE
HASN'T PUT HER IN YET.
HE PROMISED ME!
GOOD TRY, BUDDY!
GOOD TRY, HUEY!
WE GOT SOMEONE ON THIRD, BOYS.
WE GOT SOMEONE ON THIRD.
HE'S NOT GOING
TO PLAY HER.
TO THINK THAT
I LIKED THIS GUY!
ALL RIGHT.
WHAT'S HE DOING?
LOU!
YOU'RE UP.
HE'S ASKING HER
TO PINCH HIT!
IN THE BOTTOM

THAT'S KIND OF
A BIG DEAL, RIGHT?
YEAH.

WOW, YOU HIT THAT BALL
RIGHT DOWN THE CENTER, BAM!
LOU, THAT WAS AWESOME.
WHERE DID YOU LEARN
HOW TO HIT LIKE THAT?
MY DAD AND I USED
TO PRACTICE TOGETHER.
I THOUGHT YOU GUYS
JUST PRACTICED PITCHING?
WELL, YEAH,
BUT WE WORKED
ON EVERYTHING.
HE WOULD HAVE BEEN
SO PROUD OF YOU.
UH...
EXCUSE ME, I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
WHAT DID YOU THINK
YOU WERE DOING OUT THERE?
WHAT?
I LET YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER
BE THE HERO.
YOU WERE SETTING HER UP.
YOU WANTED TO CUT HER
FROM THE TEAM.
YOU COULD CHOOSE
TO BELIEVE THAT...
OR YOU COULD CHOOSE
TO BELIEVE
THAT I GAVE HER A CHANCE
TO SINK OR SWIM,
AND SHE SWAM.
[JOANNA]:
AND WHAT ABOUT NEXT WEEK?
[COACH]:
I'LL GIVE HER ANOTHER CHANCE.
YOU'RE GOING
TO LET HER PITCH?
WE'LL SEE.
YOU DON'T TREAT ANY
OF THE OTHER KIDS LIKE THIS.
NO, I DON'T.
BECAUSE SHE'S A GIRL.
BECAUSE
SHE'S SPECIAL...

OH, OH, SO...

MR. WYLKES

FOR THE PURVEYING

YOU'LL FIND THAT IT PERTAINS

IT'S DATED TODAY.
YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
WHAT ABOUT LAST WEEK
WHEN THEY WERE
OPERATING ILLEGALLY?
[JOANNA LAUGHING]
WELL, I THINK THAT WE CAN
FORGIVE A FEW DAYS OF...
I DON'T.
I DON'T FORGIVE ANYBODY.
I'M STILL GOING TO SUE THEM
AND PROSECUTE THEM
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
OF THE LAW.
REALLY?
YOU'RE REALLY GOING
TO DO THIS?
I REALLY AM.
ALL RIGHT, MRS. BELLAMY,
UM...
WHAT IF WE WERE TO LOOK
INTO YOUR BUILDING VIOLATIONS?
I DON'T HAVE ANY.
HMM, THAT APARTMENT
ABOVE YOUR GARAGE?
IT HAS A BATHROOM,
DOESN'T IT?
IS YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
ZONED FOR THAT?
AND WHAT ABOUT
UNLAWFUL GARAGE CONVERSIONS?
HMM?
HOW DID YOU KNOW
ABOUT ALL
THOSE ZONING VIOLATIONS?
OH, I DIDN'T,

IT'S THE WIFE.
DO YOU MIND?
HELLO.
I'M COMING HOME SOON, HON'.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
I JUST HEARD SOMETHING
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
DON'T YOU HEAR IT?
HEAR WHAT?
WINNIE, GET ME
THE TRANSCRIPT
FROM LINDA YASBECK'S
TESTIMONY.
JUST A SEC.
HERE IT IS.
READ THE PART
WHERE SHE TALKS ABOUT
HER HUSBAND'S MURDER,
THE NIGHT OF THE CALL.
WHEN HE WAS SHOT?
UM, OKAY.
"I'M COMING HOME
SOON, HON'."
[TERRY]:
I'M COMING HOME SOON, HON'.
OKAY, I...
HEY, PHOEBE?
PHOEBE, WHAT ARE YOU--
[GUN FIRING]
[CRASHING]
"HEY, PHOEBE?"
"PHOEBE,
WHAT ARE YOU..."
AND THEN SHE HEARS
THE GUN SHOT.
EVERYTHING HE SAID
WAS IN THIS RECORDING.
SOMEBODY COULD HAVE EDITED THIS
AND PLACED THE CALL.
WHICH WOULD MEAN TERRY MIGHT
HAVE ALREADY BEEN DEAD BY 1:30.
AND IF THAT'S THE CASE,
THEN PHOEBE WOULD HAVE BEEN
PLAYING AT THE CLUB.
SHE'D HAVE
AN AIRTIGHT ALIBI.
YOU'VE GOT TO PROVE IT.
LOOK, IT'S THE TRUTH, RIGHT?
DON'T KILL ME.
I'M JUST THE MESSENGER.
YOU EVER WONDER
WHY THE MESSENGER
HAS SO FEW FRIENDS?
UGH.
MRS. YASBECK,
I'M SORRY TO HAVE TO ASK YOU
TO DO THIS AGAIN,
BUT DO YOU REMEMBER
THE PHONE CALL
YOU RECEIVED
FROM YOUR HUSBAND
ON THE NIGHT IN QUESTION?
[LINDA]: YES.
I'LL NEVER FORGET IT.
DO YOU REMEMBER
HIS EXACT WORDS?
OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.
I SEE NO REASON ON EARTH
TO PUT MRS. YASBECK
THROUGH THIS ORDEAL AGAIN.
I'M INCLINED TO AGREE.
IT DOES SEEM UNNECESSARY.
IF THE COURT
WOULD JUST INDULGE ME
FOR ONE MORE MINUTE.
I, FOR ONE,
AM TIRED OF INDULGING
MS. DARROW.
YOUR HONOR...
ENOUGH.
WHAT ABOUT YOU,
MRS. YASBECK?
DO YOU OBJECT?
NO.
I REMEMBER HIS EXACT WORDS.
HE SAID, "I'LL BE
COMING HOME SOON, HON'."
THOSE WERE HIS FIRST WORDS?
[LINDA]: YES.
HE DIDN'T SAY HELLO?
NO, HE DIDN'T.
DID HE USUALLY
SAY HELLO?
I GUESS USUALLY,
YES, HE SAID HELLO.
OKAY.
AND THEN WHAT DID HE SAY NEXT?
"HEY, PHOEBE."
[CLAIRE]: WAS
IT A QUESTION?
PARDON?
WAS IT LIKE, "HEY, PHOEBE,"
OR WAS IT LIKE, "HEY, PHOEBE?"
I DON'T KNOW.
OKAY, WHAT DID HE SAY NEXT?
HE SAID,
"PHOEBE, WHAT ARE YOU..."
THANK YOU.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONTINUE.
DID IT SOUND SOMETHING
LIKE THIS?
CHESTER.
[TERRY]:
I'M COMING HOME SOON, HON'.
HEY, PHOEBE?
PHOEBE, WHAT ARE YOU...
YES, YES.
OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR!
NON-DISCLOSURE.
HOW DID MS. DARROW GET
A COPY OF THAT PHONE CALL?
I WAS WONDERING
THE SAME THING, MS. DARROW.
I DIDN'T.
MY ASSOCIATE, CHESTER LIME,
PIECED IT TOGETHER
FROM BITS OF A CONVERSATION
ON A STUDIO TAPE.
SO THAT WASN'T THE CALL
THAT MRS. YASBECK HEARD?
ACTUALLY, THAT IS EXACTLY
WHAT MRS. YASBECK HEARD
BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY
WHAT THE KILLER DID.
I OBJECT AGAIN.
ARE WE SUPPOSED TO TAKE
MS. DARROW'S WORD FOR IT
THAT THIS MAGICAL AUDIO TRICK
IS POSSIBLE?
OBJECTION SUSTAINED!
THAT'S MY JOB,
MS. DARROW.
[CLAIRE]: I'M SORRY,
I WAS JUST TRYING TO SAVE TIME,
BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO CALL
AN EXPERT ON AUDIO ENGINEERING.
I WOULD LIKE TO CALL
JONAH LAROCHELLE.
[MUTTERING]
[CLAIRE]:
MR. LAROCHELLE,
IN YOUR EXPERT OPINION,
COULD THE AUDIO HAVE BEEN
ALTERED IN THE WAY DESCRIBED?
I IMAGINE IT COULD.
COULD YOU HAVE MADE
THIS RECORDING YOURSELF?
I THINK I COULD HAVE.
DID YOU MAKE THIS RECORDING?
I... NO!
THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
WELL, WHO WAS IN
A BETTER POSITION TO MAKE IT?
PHOEBE.
SHE USED TO BE MY ASSISTANT.
SHE KNOWS ALL ABOUT
AUDIO ENGINEERING,
AND BESIDES, SHE TRIED
TO KILL ME, REMEMBER?
SHE HIT ME ON THE HEAD
AND THEN TRIED TO ASPHYXIATE ME
WITH MY OWN CAR.
[CLAIRE]:
OH, YES, THE CAR.
YOU WERE VERY LUCKY...
OR WERE YOU LUCKY?
MAYBE YOU WERE JUST... CAREFUL.
OBJECTION.
[JUDGE]:
I'M GOING TO ALLOW IT.
I WANT TO SEE
WHERE THIS IS GOING.
DID YOU STAGE
THAT ASSAULT ON YOURSELF,
MR. LAROCHELLE?
WHY ON EARTH WOULD I DO THAT?
TO DIVERT SUSPICION
FROM YOURSELF
AND MAKE IT LOOK
LIKE PHOEBE STRASBERG
TRIED TO KILL YOU.
OBJECTION!
WITHDRAWN.
TELL ME, I WANT TO SEE
IF YOU RECOGNIZE THIS OBJECT
WE'VE LABELED EXHIBIT C.
SURE, IT'S A MIC STAND.
WHICH MIC STAND?
IT'S A MIC STAND.
THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE.
I DON'T THINK SO.
THIS MIC STAND WAS FOUND
IN THE DUMPSTER
OF A CHINESE RESTAURANT
THREE BLOCKS
FROM TERRY YASBECK'S STUDIO.
DO YOU SEE THE RED CLIP?
WHAT?
OH, YEAH, IT LOOKS
LIKE PHOEBE'S MIC STAND,
THE ONE THAT SHE ALWAYS LIKED.
[CLAIRE]:
YOU ARE CORRECT.
IN FACT, WE ARE
PREPARED TO PROVE
THAT THAT IS
PHOEBE'S MIC STAND,
AND WE ARE ALSO
PREPARED TO PROVE
THAT THE INSIDE TUBE
OF THAT MIC STAND
AND THE RED CLIP
ARE BOTH COATED
WITH BRAKE FLUID--
BRAKE FLUID
FROM A CAR...
NOT UNLIKE YOURS,
MR. LAROCHELLE.
OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.
THE CONNECTION
BETWEEN THIS BRAKE FLUID
AND THE BRAKE FLUID
IN MR. LAROCHELLE'S CAR...
[CLAIRE]:
HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU ARE CORRECT, MRS. ASHLAND,
AND I DON'T THINK
IT CAN BE PROVEN...
BUT IT IS INTERESTING,
DON'T YOU THINK?
NOT REALLY.
BECAUSE SOMEBODY KNEW
THAT THE STATE WOULD GIVE
PHOEBE STRASBERG
A GUNSHOT-RESIDUE TEST
AFTER TERRY YASBECK
WAS KILLED,
AND THAT PERSON KNEW
THAT BRAKE FLUID COULD CAUSE
A FALSE POSITIVE ON THE TEST.
I MEAN, YOU CAN FIND THAT OUT
ON THE INTERNET...
AND THAT PERSON DID THAT
BECAUSE THAT PERSON KILLED
TERRY YASBECK
AND TRIED
TO FRAME PHOEBE STRASBERG
FOR THE CRIME.
WELL, IT WASN'T ME.
I WAS WITH PHOEBE
AT THE NIGHTCLUB
WHEN TERRY WAS KILLED.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
HOW DO YOU KNOW
WHEN TERRY WAS KILLED?
I DON'T.
YOU'RE CONFUSING ME.
DO I HAVE TO ANSWER?
YOU KIND OF DO.
UH, COULD YOU REPEAT
THE QUESTION?
WITHDRAWN.
I'D LIKE TO PLAY
THAT TAPE FOR YOU AGAIN.
OBJECTION.
[CLAIRE]: MR. LAROCHELLE
IS AN EXPERT.
I WOULD LIKE HIS OPINION ON IT.
OVERRULED.
PROCEED, MS. DARROW.
[CLAIRE]: THANK YOU,
YOUR HONOR.
CHESTER?
READY.
[TERRY]:
I'M COMING HOME SOON, HON'.
HEY, PHOEBE?
PHOEBE, WHAT ARE YOU--
WELL?
LIKE SHE SAID,
I'VE ALREADY HEARD IT.
OH, BUT YOU HAVEN'T.
THAT IS A DIFFERENT RECORDING.
THAT IS A RECORDING
THAT MY ASSOCIATE, CHESTER LIME,
WHO IS VERY THOROUGH,
FOUND ON TERRY YASBECK'S
STUDIO COMPUTER SYSTEM.
WELL, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
IT WAS REALLY HARD TO FIND.
HE HAD TO SEARCH THROUGH
ALL THESE DELETED FILES
AND RECONSTRUCT IT.
I DID.
WE BELIEVE YOU, MR. LIME.
[CLAIRE]: BUT IN THE END,
HE FOUND IT,
BECAUSE COMPUTERS
ARE LIKE ELEPHANTS...
THEY REMEMBER EVERYTHING...
AND YOU KNOW WHOSE FILE
IT WAS DELETED FROM?
NO.
IT WAS YOURS.
WHY'D YOU MAKE
THAT RECORDING?
IT WAS A JOKE.
WAS IT?
I'M NOT LAUGHING,
MR. LAROCHELLE.
YOUR WIFE
IS PHOEBE'S BACKUP SINGER,
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
[JONAH]: YES.
ARE YOU AWARE
THAT YOUR WIFE
SENT TERRY YASBECK
AN EMAIL
THE WEEK OF THE MURDER?
AN EMAIL?
WITH AN ATTACHMENT.
I, I, I...
I SEEM TO REMEMBER SOMETHING.
SHE SENT HIM
AN E-MAIL OF HER SINGING.
IT WAS ONE OF PHOEBE'S SONGS.
WHY DID SHE DO THAT?
I THINK
HE REQUESTED IT.
HMM, WELL...
HER E-MAIL
READS AS FOLLOWS...
"I THINK I SING THIS SONG
MUCH BETTER
THAN THAT NO-TALENT PHOEBE."
[LAUGHING]
SHE WAS JOKING.
WAS SHE?
HERE'S TERRY'S REPLY.
"PATHETIC.
STICK TO BEING A BACK-UP SINGER.
YOU CAN JUST BARELY DO THAT."
HE WAS JOKING.
HILARIOUS.
HOW DID YOUR WIFE REACT?
SHE LAUGHED,
YOU KNOW.
TELL ME, WHY WASN'T YOUR WIFE
AT THE CLUB
THE NIGHT TERRY WAS MURDERED?
SHE WAS AT HOME.
SHE WASN'T.
WE HAVE SECURITY FOOTAGE
FROM THE GAS STATION
AT YOUR CORNER.
IT SHOWS NORAH LAROCHELLE
GETTING GAS
AT 12:10 A.M.,
THAT EVENING.
NOW, WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT
UNLESS SHE WAS COMING HOME
FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE?
UNLESS SHE WENT OUT
JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT
TO FILL THE TANK?
THAT.
SHE DID THAT.
OR WAS SHE COMING BACK
FROM TERRY YASBECK'S STUDIO?
SHE WASN'T.
YOUR WIFE RESENTED
PHOEBE'S SUCCESS, DIDN'T SHE?
SHE HATED BEING
A BACK-UP SINGER
JUST A FEW FEET FROM STARDOM.
SHE THOUGHT,
WITH PHOEBE OUT OF THE WAY,
EVAN CARLTON WOULD MAKE HER
A BIG STAR.
DIDN'T SHE?
IS THAT WHY SHE KILLED
TERRY YASBECK?
OBJECTION!
NO, SHE DIDN'T!
I DID.
I SHOT HIM.
IT'S A TRICK,
YOU IDIOT!
SHUT UP!
ORDER!
[JONAH]:
SHE KNOWS!
SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING!
I KNOW WHAT,
JONAH?
THAT YOUR WIFE
KILLED TERRY YASBECK,
AND YOU HELPED HER?
YES. NO!
I DID IT ALL BY MYSELF.
[NORAH]:
NO, HE DIDN'T.
I DID IT.
HE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT
UNTIL AFTERWARDS.
[COURTROOM CHATTING]
YOUR HONOR, CAN WE TALK?
- YAY, CLAIRE!
- CHEERS!
THANK YOU.
WELL, I DIDN'T LET YOU DOWN.
I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE SO WELCOME.
YOU'RE THE BEST.
SO, USING A RECORDING
TO TIME-SHIFT THE MURDER,
SMEARING THE MIC STAND
WITH BRAKE FLUID...
WHAT WOULD OCCAM THINK OF THAT?
I'D SAY...
HE'D PROBABLY THINK
IT WAS PRETTY COMPLICATED,
BUT HE DID LIVE
IN THE 14TH CENTURY.
MURDER WAS SIMPLER
BACK THEN.
CLAIRE?
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- THANK YOU.
- OH, OF COURSE.
YOU ARE
A MIRACLE WORKER.
I'M NOT.
I ACTUALLY THOUGHT YOU
SUSPECTED ME FOR A MINUTE.
YEAH,
I TOTALLY DID,
AND YOU KNOW,
I STILL DON'T KNOW
HOW JONAH GOT PHOEBE'S ALBUM
ON YOUR COMPUTER,
BUT THAT WAS BRILLIANT.
WHAT ABOUT THE ACCIDENT
IN THE GARAGE?
STAGED TO DEFLECT
ATTENTION FROM JONAH.
NORAH HIT HIM ON THE HEAD
AND STARTED THE CAR.
OH, SWEET COUPLE.
AREN'T THEY?
HEY, WHERE'D YOUR BROTHER GO?
UM, HE'S SOMEWHERE
AROUND HERE.
I'M NOT SURE.
OKAY.
THANK YOU!
[CLAIRE]:
MOM?
GOOD JOB SETTLING
THAT LEMONADE CASE.
YEAH, I CALL IT
THE WHEN LIFE
GIVES YOU LEMONS AFFAIR.
YEAH, OKAY,
THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
WELL, ACTUALLY,
MAYBE I'M STILL WORKING ON THAT.
OKAY...
AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE
TO GO TO COURT.
THAT'S THE BEST WAY
TO RESOLVE THINGS.
I'M PROUD OF YOU,
AND...
I'VE BEEN THINKING,
AND I KNOW THAT WE HAVE
OUR DIFFERENCES,
AND THERE ARE GOING
TO BE CHALLENGES AHEAD,
BUT I WOULD REALLY LIKE
TO OFFER YOU...
TO OFFER ME MORE CASES?
YEAH, I'D LIKE
TO OFFER YOU SOME MORE CASES.
AND YOU'RE GOING
TO MAKE ME A PARTNER?
ASSOCIATE.
WHAT IS WITH THE PARTNER?
OKAY, I CAN WAIT...
BUT NOT TOO LONG.
HUG.
AW.
AW, THANKS.
OKAY.
[LOUDLY CLEARING THROAT]
OH, AND...
GOOD JOB, EVERYBODY, GREAT.
GREAT.
GREAT WORK.
AH...
HOMAGE.
TO THE VICTOR
GOES THE COFFEE.
THANK YOU.
- YOU'RE WELCOME.
- WHERE'S YOURS?
WELL...
YOU HAVE TO BUY ME ONE
BECAUSE YOU WON,
BUT I WON, TOO.
WE BOTH WON,
DIDN'T WE?
ALTHOUGH I WILL SAY,
YOU KNOW...
YOU HAD FAITH,
AND I DIDN'T, NOT SO MUCH.
YOU ALWAYS BELIEVED
SHE WAS INNOCENT.
YEAH, NO, I DIDN'T THINK
MY SISTER WAS A MURDERER.
SO HOW COULD WE LOSE?
YOU'RE...
YOU'RE AMAZING.
SEE, I'M A D.A.
I DON'T THINK LIKE THAT.
WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD START.
MAYBE THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM.
MAYBE I SHOULD START.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
SO, DINNER,
SATURDAY NIGHT?
YEAH, LET'S DO IT,
BUT NO SHOP TALK, RIGHT?
- NO SHOP TALK...
- OKAY.
FOR TEN MINUTES,
AND THEN MAYBE
SOME SHOP TALK.
TOO BAD WE DON'T HAVE
GRAPE SODA.
YOU HAVE GRAPE SODA.
I HAVE GRAPE SODA.
WELL DONE, COUNSELOR.
LET'S CELEBRATE,
COUNSELOR.
YOU READY, MOM?
YES, JUST A SEC.
WELL, COME ON,
LET'S GO!
YOUR DAUGHTER'S ABOUT
TO PITCH A PERFECT GAME.
DON'T JINX ME!
COACH SAYS
HE'S GOING TO LET ME
PITCH FOR A FEW INNINGS,
YOU KNOW,
JUST SEE HOW I DO.
THAT IS GREAT.
YOU'RE GOING TO GET
NOTHING BUT STRIKE-OUTS.
MOM, DON'T YOU JINX ME, TOO!
SORRY, HONEY.
WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO SAY?
JUST QUIET CONFIDENCE
WITH NO EXPECTATIONS.
[JOANNA]: OKAY,
HOW ABOUT...
YOU ARE GOING
TO BE PERFECTLY ADEQUATE!
THAT'S BETTER.
GO ADEQUATE!
HEY, WE NEVER HAD
OUR WEEKLY MEETING
THIS WEEK.
OH, I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING
GREAT ABOUT THIS WEEK.
ME FIRST.
UGH.
MY PLAN IS TO PITCH WELL
IN TODAY'S GAME.
MY GOAL IS TO WRITE A GOOD PAPER
FOR MY SOCIAL STUDIES CLASS,
AND MY ASPIRATION...
WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT ME TRYING OUT
FOR THE VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM?
YOU'RE KIDDING, RIGHT?
I'M KIDDING.
SHE GETS THIS
FROM YOU.
I HAVE NEVER
BEEN MORE PROUD.
