Bull (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - Already Gone - full transcript

Bull impulsively agrees to have Benny represent Adam Harris (Sam Vartholomeos), a young man charged with murder for helping his terminally ill girlfriend end her life, a decision which clashes with Benny's religious beliefs.

[HORN BLARES]

I'm sorry if that felt strange.

- I've lost a lot of weight.
- It felt perfect, Emily.



You're perfect, Emily.

I thought I was
never gonna see you.

I'm sorry.

It's just taken me a little
while to realize that...

I have very little
control over things.

I've probably had my
lasts of a lot of stuff.

Last Christmas.
Last camping trip.

And then I realized I
wasn't done with you.

Don't talk that way.

I think we need to get back.
They'll be looking for you.

Can you get me my purse?

Come on. We really
need to get you back.

We're not going back.

- What are you talking about?
- They wanna operate on me tomorrow.



Take out part of my
brain. Where the cancer is.

Wait a second. They
can take out the cancer?

They think, maybe.

To do it, they're pretty sure they're
gonna have to take out my personality.

My memories. My dreams.

But it could save
your life, right?

What's the difference
if I'm not me?

- What is that?
- It's nothing.

Emily, no. This is crazy.
You don't wanna do this.

If you need to leave,
go ahead. I understand.

Emily, seriously, I think I should
call somebody. Emily, no. Don't...

- Don't leave, OK?
- My God. OK, just stop. Just stop now.

Adam, I need you to do
it. I need you to help me.

No, Emily. I can't.

If you love me...

Don't make me do this.

Don't make me go on.

Thank you.

Oh, God. Emily.

Help. My girlfriend, I think I
killed her. I need an ambulance.

I'll never understand why
court is open from nine to five.

You can buy a sex toy in
this city at 3:30 in the morning,

but you can't file a brief after
five o'clock in the afternoon.

I would have loved to have done
this for you, Bull, but the judge insisted.

You wrote the reports, so
you have to submit them.

Not enough hours in the day.
Can't return all my calls and emails.

Clients are mad if I'm not in
court every day holding their hands.

Marissa's on me about cutting
expenses and increasing profits.

Hoping to have you
out of here in 15 minutes.

Housekeeping matters
to take up with the judge.

I hope you brought
something to read.

She's got a full house.
It's gonna be a long wait.

JUDGE: I'm denying you bail

and remanding you to Rikers
Island until your court date.

Next case.

CLERK: The court
calls Adam Harris

in the matter of the People v
Adam Harris, charged with...

Text Marissa. Have
her rearrange my day.

OK.

- MAN: Adam, you're next.
- Ah.

- He's just a kid.
- Yeah. I wonder what he did?

JUDGE: In the
matter of Adam Harris

who's charged with the death of
Emily Conner by lethal injection.

- How do you plead?
- My client pleads not guilty.

Your Honor, the young man already
admitted to the EMTs on the scene

that he injected the drugs
that killed Ms. Conner.

- He had no attorney present.
- We are recommending no bail.

- Shut the DA down and ask for bail.
- He's 18 years old, Your Honor.

- His girlfriend just died.
- Obviously. That's why we're here.

- He killed her.
- Shut the DA down.

- He's a good student, a good kid.
- Ask for bail.

A star athlete at
his high school.

Already accepted at
Fordham University for the fall.

Are you the boy's
attorney or his publicist?

His attorney, and
I'm doing my best.

- JUDGE: What do you mean, your best?
- You OK?

You look like you're
about to have a stroke.

I'm his father's cousin.
I'm a tax attorney.

- Dear God.
- Everything happened very quickly.

So there wasn't time to pursue
other options in terms of...

Your Honor, we'd like
to ask for a timeout.

A what? A timeout? Wait a
second. Who are you? And who's he?

He is the defendant's
new counsel.

At least for the time
being if you're smart.

- And I'm the guy who put him up to it.
- What are you doing?

Trying to get your boy out on bail,
which, trust me, is what you want.

- He's not built for prison.
- We don't have any money.

Well, one step at a time.

Your Honor, Ms. District Attorney,
I apologize for the disruption,

but Mr...

[CLEARS THROAT] Harris.

Mr. Harris has had a
sudden change of counsel.

May I approach? Discuss bail?

[THUNDER]

This won't take long.

Just wanna make sure the bail
bond company doesn't screw 'em.

And I'm gonna want to give 'em
the name of a couple of good lawyers.

Any thoughts?

You're thinking about the
ones that'll work for free, right?

- All right, everything looks good.
- I'm not gonna lose my house, am I?

Not unless your son
doesn't show up for court, no.

More importantly,
your son is here, home,

where he is safe and we can work
on his defense, help him find a lawyer.

- Any chance you two...?
- You know, it's not really what we do.

We're not really a law firm.

HARRIS: I don't know. You
guys were pretty good in court.

MRS. HARRIS: Can you please call
me back? I really think we need to talk.

Well, that was a bad idea.

- What's that?
- I was trying to catch Dawn again.

If she would just get
on the phone with me,

I think we could talk this
through, mother to mother.

- The victim's mother?
- Mrs. Harris, you can't call her again.

I don't want you calling anyone
without running it by me first.

So you mean you
are gonna help us?

No, I mean until we
help you find... someone.

- Is Adam here?
- [BALL BOUNCES]

I'd love to talk to Adam.

- Can I give you a couple of tips?
- About basketball?

No, not about basketball. About
where you are and what you're doing.

First off, my name is Dr. Bull,

and a pretty good icebreaker
between us would be,

"Hey, Dr. Bull. Thanks for
keeping me out of prison today."

- So are you my new lawyer?
- No. I'm nobody's lawyer.

I'm not a lawyer. I'm just a
guy who's trying to help you.

So what about that other
guy? Is he my lawyer?

No, we can't. I can't. Look,
I'm not here to talk about me.

I'm here to talk about you. You
want to tell me what happened?

OK.

Let's talk about Emily. She
must have really hated you.

What are you talking about?

Look at the predicament
she put you in.

Is that what people think,
that she did this to me?

What are people
supposed to think?

- It's either that or you killed her.
- No.

She didn't know it was
gonna happen this way.

She didn't plan on me
pushing the plunger.

She didn't even know I
was gonna be in the room.

She actually tried
to get me to leave.

So you didn't get
her the fentanyl?

Was that the stuff she injected?

The whole suicide part,
that was a surprise to me.

She asked me to help her sneak
out of the hospital, have some fun.

- She was going crazy in there.
- How'd that make you feel?

I was so happy.

I hadn't heard
from her in months.

I'd been texting her and emailing
her, but she didn't wanna see me.

Right after she got sick,
I saw her one more time.

We took a ride upstate. But
then she just... shut me off.

It was like we were never
a couple. It was like...

Adam, get in here, will you?

I'm getting pneumonia
just looking at you.

Adam, I need you
to get in here with me.

Adam, I'm trying to help you
here. Get in the garage with me.

I don't have to listen to
you. You're not my lawyer.

- WOMAN: Is that him?
- MAN: There he is.

Hey, Adam, can we
ask you some questions?

- Maybe.
- Adam.

I'm gonna talk to these guys so
they can get it straight about Emily.

You shouldn't talk to
anybody, not without a lawyer.

I don't know what to tell
you. I don't have one of those.

- We wanna talk about Emily.
- Can we ask a few questions?

- Adam!
- Adam, did you kill Emily?

Hey. Sorry, folks. My client
has nothing to say at this time.

Wait a second. You're
this kid's lawyer?

Yes, my name's Dr. Jason Bull

and I'm part of the legal
team defending Adam...

- It's Harris.
- Harris.

[♪ HARRY STYLES: SWEET CREATURE]

♪ Sweet creature

♪ Had another talk...

- When was this posted?
- A few hours before she died.

♪ We're still young

♪ We don't where we're going
But we know where we belong

♪ And, oh, we started

♪ Two hearts in one home

♪ It's hard when we argue

♪ We're both stubborn, I know ♪

I don't get it. She posted this video,
but she doesn't leave a suicide note?

This is her suicide note.

She's telling you
everything you need to know.

She loved this
boy. She loved life.

So sad. What
exactly did she have?

Stage four glioblastoma.

It's brain cancer. No known cure.
She was scheduled for surgery.

They were gonna remove
part of her frontal lobe.

How much time would
it have given her?

Two years tops,

which is why her parents
insisted that she go through with it.

Cable.

This is our client, Adam Harris.
High-school senior, basketball player.

Accepted to Fordham
University in the fall.

His father works at the power plant.
Never missed a basketball game.

His parents put their life savings
into a college fund for their son

and that money is now gone.

That and their house
are securing his bail.

BENNY: Emily's parents,
Nathan and Dawn Conner.

Dad's a veterinarian.
Mom's a CPA.

When Emily got sick, Dawn quit her
job to become a full-time caregiver.

Never accepted her
daughter's diagnosis.

Never gave up hope for a
miracle, which... I totally get.

Trick is gonna be finding a jury who
can put themselves in Adam's shoes.

We need to make them feel
the way he felt in that moment.

Does it really
matter what he felt?

That kid knew what he
was doing with that needle

and he went through
with it anyway.

The way I read the law,
that is murder and he's guilty.

Benny, the law is there to protect
the people, not the other way around.

And remember, Emily called
Adam. They hadn't spoken in months.

And it was her idea to run away
from the hospital. She paid for the hotel.

And according to Adam,
the drugs were in her purse.

He didn't even know she
had them until she told him

that she wanted to kill herself.

Emily orchestrated
the entire day,

right up until the moment
that needle was in her arm.

Who pushed the plunger
is beside the point.

The intent was
hers and hers alone.

And intent is what the law
demands for a finding of murder.

That is our narrative.

And that is how we're gonna
get this jury to rule for our client.

[KNOCKING]

Hey. You got a sec?

Hey, uh...

I'm sorry.

I was... I was out of
line out there, OK?

- The thing is...
- Oh, sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt.

No, stay. Unless...?

No, no. I don't mind
if she hears this.

So... about the case.

I have a point of view,

and I'm concerned that it
doesn't dovetail with our client's.

I've been a practicing
Catholic my whole life,

and suicide...
suicide's a mortal sin.

Sanctity of life.

No one can take a person's life,
even their own, except for God.

I'm sorry, but that's
just what I believe.

Let me ask you something, Benny.

Did I ever say I thought
what Adam did was right?

- No.
- 'Cause it doesn't matter.

You have a job to do,

and you can still be a good
Catholic and a good lawyer.

Hundreds of thousands of
men and women just like you

have proven that for
over two centuries.

- Well, maybe they can...
- Damn it, Benny! Come on.

I am not asking you to
go out and kill somebody.

I'm asking you to go into a
court of law, in fact, I'm paying you

to go into a court of
law and save a boy's life.

What kind of God do you pray to?

- Bull, you can't say that.
- I just did.

- I apologize on his behalf.
- No, no, no. No apologies necessary.

The kid has a right
to a vigorous defense.

I just don't wanna hinder that

because my own personal
moral code conflicts with his.

And I would argue that you will
mount an even more vigorous defense,

because you understand the
jurors, especially the unfriendly ones.

You sure you wanna do this?
After... After everything I just said?

On a case we're not even
getting paid for on top of that?

- We're not getting paid for this case?
- We're done here.

- Bull?
- We're done here!

[PHONE RINGS]

- Hello?
- Bad time?

Well, I was just walking
out. What's up, Cable?

- I just found the mother lode.
- What does that mean?

Emily. I'm talking
tons of stuff, actually.

An online cancer support
group. Mostly other teenagers.

Anyone she was talking
to more than the others?

Yeah, this girl RileyG03.

They have all sorts of online
chat substrings and stuff,

just the two of them.

[SIGHS]

OK, um... can you send me those?

You think it might
actually be something?

Maybe. And see if you can find
me a real name for this RileyG03.

Will do. Have a great evening.

Oh, yeah. Life is one big party.

- [RINGING TONE]
- Leave a message.

Hey. I know I said I was gonna
be there, but... I can't be there.

I love you.

So what are we looking for?
People who believe in the right to die?

Too obvious. That's who
the other side'll strike first.

Mind if I watch?

- BOTH: No.
- BENNY: Yes.

- What are you hoping to watch?
- I'm just fascinated.

I mean, on the
one hand, I get it.

I was 17 once,
and I was in love.

And I would have done
anything for that person.

And on the other, it's murder.

He's right.

You know what the
problem with this case is?

The facts are getting
in the way of the truth.

I've talked to this kid. He's tortured
by what happened. He's devastated.

He loved this girl with all of
his heart. Why would he kill her?

Why would he willingly carry that
burden with him for the rest of his life?

I just have to believe
that the right jury will see

that he did not murder her.

It was... a sacrifice at the
behest of the woman he loved.

OK, with all due respect
to you and Chunk,

I think it's gonna be
pretty hard to find people

who can look past the fact that
the girl died at this boy's hand

and even consider that there might
have been extenuating circumstances.

Yeah, I know.

You gotta be pretty damn
cognitively agile to even wanna hear it.

Cognitively agile?
What does that mean?

It means we got a lot of people
we need to eliminate from our jury.

There are just
certain types of people

who are more comfortable
with absolutes, certainties, rules.

Everything's black or white.

Those people will never be
able to hear this argument.

This guy, perfectly cut
suit, perfectly knotted tie.

Too fastidious. OCD.
Logical and analytical.

Get him out of there.

Career military. History
of following rules.

She is not gonna
play well with us.

People for whom there is only a right
and a wrong are not gonna sympathize

with the extenuating
circumstances of our case.

They will never be on our side.

So, how many of
you have children?

All right. Who here sticks to a strict
bedtime schedule, no exceptions?

Good for you.

Move to strike these
three jurors, Your Honor.

Now, here's
where it gets tricky.

We need to find people
who can see the difference

between responsibility
and blame.

So, let's just say the chair you're
sitting in right now suddenly broke.

Would it be your fault?

I'm not sure I
understand your question.

Well, the chair appeared to
be fine, you sat in it, it broke.

- Are you to blame?
- Well, yeah, I guess I would be.

- Well, who else's fault would it be?
- And another one bites the dust.

You are running out of options.

I don't know. Maybe the
chair was old, defective.

Bingo. An evolved thinker.

Just because he broke the chair
doesn't necessarily mean it's his fault.

Juror number three is acceptable
to the defense, Your Honor.

Very well, then. We have our
jury. The rest of you are released.

I don't understand. How is any of
this supposed to be helping me?

You just have to trust him,
Adam. This is where the man lives.

That's her mom.

- Adam, let's go this way.
- I need to say something.

- Adam, that's not a good idea.
- Mr. and Mrs. Conner.

I'm so sorry. I loved
Emily so much.

I miss her so
much. I'm so sorry.

You're sorry?

You should be
dead, not her. You.

- Come on, Dawn. Not here.
- You're the drug user.

You gave her those drugs,
didn't you? Didn't you?

You are gonna walk this way
and not say another word. Let's go.

We didn't even get to say
goodbye! You took that from us!

You murderer!

BULL: Did you
give her the drugs?

- You mean were they mine?
- You know what I mean.

Of course not. I'm not a
druggie. It's not my thing.

So... what was that

between you and Emily's
mom at the courthouse?

Sophomore year... I tore my ACL.

The doctor prescribed
hydrocodone and... I liked it.

- You seek treatment?
- Treatment?

I told my dad. He flushed
everything down the toilet.

The only other
person I told was Emily.

And she told her parents,

and now you're gonna hear
about it from the witness stand.

They're gonna get
some expert to explain

fentanyl and hydrocodone
are both opioids.

Then they'll speculate that you
began abusing your medication

and when you couldn't
get another refill,

well... you bought
it off the street.

So when your girlfriend
decided to kill herself,

you knew right where to go.

But none of that's true.

And we'll object, but the
jury will have already heard it,

and the people who are
inclined to believe that story

are probably gonna
believe it anyway.

Put me on the stand. They'll know
it's the truth if they hear it from me.

That's not gonna happen.
Not while I'm running the show.

First question the
prosecution is gonna ask you is,

"Did you inject those drugs?" and
you're gonna answer, "Yes, I did."

And then nobody from that point
on is gonna hear a word you say.

And unless there is an earth-shattering
reason to put you on that stand, I am...

Look at me.

Did I say game over? Did
I say we were defeated?

They may have more points on the
board, but the game is far from over.

Don't patronize me.

You don't get a name like Bull because
you give up before the game is over.

What are you talking about?

That's your name.
You were born with that.

Maybe I was. Maybe I wasn't.

Maybe I just made it up. Maybe it's
just a tool I came up with to help me win.

I'll do anything to win.
Game's not over, champ.

[SIGHS]

Marissa.

Bull. What can I do for you?

- I want ice.
- Ice. As in drink?

At 4:25 in the afternoon?

I knew I never should have gotten you
that box set of Mad Men for Christmas.

Well... the trial
starts tomorrow.

We got a defendant who's
convinced we can't win,

a lawyer who's convinced he's
going to hell and no murder weapon.

OK, I'm sorry, what do
you mean, murder weapon?

The fentanyl. We don't know
how Emily got the fentanyl.

And until we do, the jury is going
to think that she got it from Adam.

Well, I know Cable gave Danny a lead
on someone in Emily's support group,

a girl who lives upstate,

someone Emily was talking to every
single day until about five months ago.

Danny's hoping maybe
she can tell us something.

There's also something going
on between Emily's parents.

It's not just grief.

There's some kind of...
disconnect. I saw it at the courthouse.

I can ask Cable do a deep-dive
on their emails and texts,

see what she can find.

You're not really
worried. Are you?

You know, when I was a kid,

when I'd screw up, get in
trouble, make bad choices,

my grandfather
would say to me...

"There's a good man
in there somewhere."

"We just gotta keep
you alive till you're 26."

That kid and the
way he loved that girl.

The fact he was
willing to step in

at that moment when she needed
him, and... damn the consequences.

There's a good man in there.

The defense is gonna
tell you that Adam Harris

had no idea what was going to
happen when he entered the hotel room.

But I'm going to
tell you the truth

about a boy who harassed his ex
with texts and emails for months,

who finally convinced
her to leave the hospital

so he can have sex
with her in a sleazy hotel,

so they can do drugs together,
something he has a sordid history with.

And you know the rest.

Things got out of hand and
one of them ended up dead.

That's the real story,
and we'll prove it.

BULL: Any progress
on the fentanyl?

It's like Fort Knox when it
comes to narcotics at that hospital.

- There's no way Emily got it there.
- Any progress with mom and dad?

You were right.

Emily's dad has been texting
another woman for the past few months

and from what I can tell
not telling his wife about it.

It might be an affair. But I
honestly don't see how it's relevant.

It's not... yet. But a
trial is a living thing.

It's like jazz. It wants to
go where it wants to go.

This may come in
handy in a day or two.

So why don't you go back to
the office, give Marissa a hand?

Let's find out where
Emily got this fentanyl.

Harrison. Hey. Sorry I couldn't
get there the other night.

I got a case that's
picking up steam.

Um, how's Friday? Wanna do
some salsa dancing? Call me.

[KNOCKING]

- Can I help you?
- Yeah. Sorry to bother you.

I'm assuming you're Ava's
mother? My name's Danny.

I'm an investigator working on
behalf of the families involved

in the death of a friend of
your daughter's, Emily Conner.

I heard the news. I'm so sorry.

- Did you know Emily?
- No, not really.

She came here once,
with a boy, to visit Ava.

Ava had just had a surgery.
She wanted to surprise her.

But I think that was the only
time they ever met face to face.

Everything else was
online. Online all the time.

That's what I heard as well.

And then all of a sudden they
just stopped communicating.

Would it be possible to
speak with your daughter?

Ava?

Um...

Again, I'm so sorry about Emily.

Her poor parents.

I would just die without my Ava.

[KNOCKING]

Ava? Honey?

This is Danny.

She's a friend of Emily
Conner's, that girl from the news.

That girl who came to visit you.

I don't know that we're
gonna have a lot of luck today.

How long ago did you say
they stopped communicating?

Um... five months ago.

Well, that makes sense.

Ever since her operation, Ava
hasn't touched her computer.

Dr. Muller, you were
Emily's oncological surgeon.

In your expert opinion, would
this surgery have extended her life?

By at least six months.

Emily was an outstanding candidate,
young, healthy in every other way.

PROSECUTOR: And
in those six months,

any number of medical
advances could have been made?

- Perhaps even a cure found?
- Objection, Your Honor. Speculation.

Well, given his specialty
in the field, I'll allow it.

Well, a cure certainly
isn't impossible.

PROSECUTOR: Nothing further.

How badly did that hurt us?

Well, our five cognitively
agile jurors weren't swayed.

But the rest of
'em love this guy.

Dr. Muller, Emily's tumor
was in her frontal lobe.

- Is that correct?
- It was.

And the frontal lobe controls,
what, memory, language, emotion?

Yes, that's right.

These three things, they're kind
of the essence of who we are,

wouldn't you say?

Now, would the surgery
have permanently damaged

or altered that essence?

A dramatic change in personality
is a common side effect, yes.

- And how did Emily feel about that?
- She expressed her concern about that.

Did she ever say she
didn't want the surgery?

- Well, she was a minor, so...
- Just a yes or no answer, please.

Yes.

Let's talk about this cure
you mentioned earlier.

Well, I didn't actually
say there was a cure.

I just acknowledged the
possibility that one could be found.

But realistically speaking
that possibility is pretty slim

considering Emily's time
frame, wouldn't you say?

I mean, there isn't
something that's on the brink

that you're aware of, is there?

No, not to my knowledge.

And let's just say...
let's say we did find

some sort of miracle
cure for glioblastoma.

What about that
missing part in her brain,

the part that you
wanted to cut out?

Is there some sort of procedure
or medicine that we could use

to grow that back?

No. Of course not.

Oh. I didn't know that.

Nothing further, Your Honor.

Good news. We
picked up two jurors.

[KNOCKING]

- Dr. Bull?
- Cable.

What are you still
doing here? It's 10:30.

I thought you might wanna know

I figured out who the woman
was who Emily's dad was texting.

Turns out it was a therapist,

a therapist specializing
in end-of-life treatment.

From what I can tell, the
mom wasn't even aware.

So that's the wedge between 'em.

Emily's dad was
taking her to a therapist

and he was keeping it
a secret from his wife.

Why?

Because he knew what
his daughter really wanted?

Which means, on some
level, he sympathized with her.

But he couldn't tell
his wife, her mother.

It wasn't just Adam who had her
back. She had two people in her corner.

One of 'em needs to
hear from the other.

And now I am gonna do
the thing I swore I'd never do.

The defense would
like to call Adam Harris.

I wanna talk about the second
to last time you saw Emily.

You remember that day?

Of course.

It was, like, six months ago.

She had just gotten sick.

I mean, you couldn't see
it, but she told me about it.

Anyway, she wanted to
visit this girl who lived upstate,

this girl who had the same thing she
had and just had an operation for it.

- BENNY: Tell me about it.
- ADAM: I don't really know a lot.

She asked me to wait in the car.

She went into the house
to see her friend and...

came back 15 minutes later.

And what did she say?
Did she see anything?

No. She was just really upset.

Didn't say a word
the whole trip back.

BENNY: And that was
the last time you saw her?

Last time I saw her.

Last time she spoke to me.

Last time she answered
a text or an email.

Till she called me to
help her leave the hospital.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

MARISSA: Bull, I know you
prepped him, told him what to say,

but I don't know where
you're going with that.

- Didn't change a single mind.
- Doesn't matter.

I'm pretty sure it changed
the one mind we needed to.

And I think I know where
Emily got the fentanyl.

Mr. Conner, you are
a veterinary doctor?

Yes. I have my own practice.

Now, am I correct in saying that there
are any number of crossover drugs,

that is drugs that are used
by both people and animals?

Insulin, anti-inflammatories,
SSRIs, things of that nature?

- Yes.
- What about pain relievers?

Morphine?

Fentanyl? Do you stock fentanyl?

- I do.
- Objection. Relevance?

Seems relevant
to me. I'll allow it.

Mr. Conner... did you give
Emily the fentanyl that killed her?

No, I did not.

I didn't actually have the
courage to do something like that.

But you were aware that she
wanted to take her life, weren't you, sir?

Yes.

Did you ever
discuss it with her?

A few times.

I took her to a therapist. I
didn't know what else to do.

- This is what she wanted.
- No.

Who was I to take that from her?

BENNY: To the best
of your knowledge,

has any fentanyl gone missing
from your office recently?

One vial about three weeks ago.

And when was the last
time Emily was home?

About three weeks ago.

BENNY: You
didn't give it to her,

but you didn't do anything about it
once it was gone, did you, Mr. Conner?

No.

I wasn't sure it was her.

But I was hoping.

BENNY: No further
questions, Your Honor.

JUDGE: Let's take an hour recess,
then commence with closing arguments.

[BANGS GAVEL]

All right. Bottom of
the ninth, two outs.

Nail the closing arguments
and we got this won.

How's my favorite
Catholic lawyer?

Let me run something by you.

Something I think
I just figured out.

Ladies and gentlemen of
the jury, I have to be honest...

I've had my doubts about this
case from the very beginning.

See, I'm a... I'm a Catholic,

and when we started this case, I
simply didn't agree with what Emily did,

and today... I still don't.

But that's the thing.

It's not about what she did.

It's about what Adam
did. So let's review.

She invited him to the hospital,
so we can't charge him with that,

and she got the hotel room,
so that's not on him either.

And we're reasonably sure
that she procured the drugs,

so Adam isn't guilty there
either, so... what is Adam guilty of?

Maybe being 18?

Maybe loving Emily too much
to see her suffer against her will?

Emily's death was a tragedy,

but that tragedy happened when she
was stricken with this terrible disease,

and Emily made a decision.

Now, whether you agree
with that decision or not,

it was hers and hers alone.

And here's the irony.

If you find my client guilty,

all you'll be doing is the very
thing you're accusing him of...

throwing a precious
young life away.

Can you live with that?

Can you?

'Cause if you can, I have to ask
you... what kind of God do you pray to?

Thank you.

Has the jury reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

The jury finds the
defendant not guilty.

I wanna come see you play
basketball in the fall at Fordham.

You got it, Dr. Bull.

♪ How long will I love you...

Hey. There's a good man in
there. Don't let that kid screw up.

I won't. Thank you.

See that? And you didn't
wanna take this case.

Who didn't wanna take this case?

[GRUNTS]

Hey, FBI!

Come on, I'm comin' in!

Did you not get my message?

It's Friday! Hello?

All right. I guess
I'll be going.

[SALSA MUSIC PLAYS]

Oh!

That was good.
