you.
I just don't know.
Anything I tell you...
It's just that you gotta give up.
- Give up? To whom?
- Jeff, you gotta do it.
Everybody screwed me.
Who else is there?
Would you go away please?
I just want this much free space.
This much is all I want.
I swear to God, Jeff...
It'll be all right.
You did what you could. But nothing
makes sense anymore. Not in here.
- What are you gonna do?
- Nothing. I don't have to do anything.
- You can't just sit there.
- Yes, I can!
All I want to do is sit here.
Okay.
- It's cold in here.
- You want my coat?
My legs... Oh, God.
My legs are cramping so bad
I can hardly move them.
Stay down!
Arthur, come on in.
- It's Sunday, Carl.
- I want to show you something.
What's up?
Your partner's coming back, I hear.
- Will they let him practice again?
- Sure. Why not?
Who says you gotta be sane
to practice law?
Come on, what's going on?
What do you want?
I've got a little present for you.
You know, favour for favour.
Sweetheart, give him the pictures.
There you have it.
It's the head of
the Ethics Committee, -
- Judge Fleming and the hooker.
She takes a good picture, huh?
What do you think? Does that cover
my legal fees for the next two years?
Oh, Carl...
Take the pictures.
It's a token of my appreciation.
Oh, my, my...
Look, Arthur...
These photos are disgusting, but not
proof that Fleming raped Leah Shephard.
He did it.
The son of a bitch is guilty.
Okay. Then drop the case.
- I can't.
- Why not?
Because the man with the whip
is blackmailing me.
He's blackmailing you? What for?
A long time ago I betrayed
a client's confidence.
It's a long story, Gail.
That's why Zinoff pulled your file.
What do you mean?
After you walked out on the committee,
we did a check on you.
- A check on me?
- Yeah.
Zinoff requested it.
I had no idea why.
You mean to tell me that
while we were sleeping together -
- you and the fellas were making
decisions on my life?
- Gail, on my life?
- Would you just let me finish?
Then Zinoff said he wanted
to personally review your case.
- I swear, I had no idea.
- Jesus, this whole thing stinks!
Okay, if you feel that way about it,
then fight them. Go ahead.
Go up against them.
Take the consequences.
Consequences? The consequences are
that I'll be disbarred.
- I know that.
- I'm a lawyer. It's all I know.
Then do it. Defend Fleming.
You'll win the case. No disbarment.
You'll end up being
a very important lawyer.
A judge is guilty of
beating and raping a woman.
You're talking crazy.
You don't know he's guilty.
You assume he is guilty
because you hate him so much.
Even if he is,
what difference does it make?
A defence lawyer has to defend
people who are guilty. You know that.
Would you defend him?
If you were me, would you do it?
I would because it's my job.
You know?
Look...
You took an oath to defend your clients
as best you can.
If you can't do that, then get out.
Where'd you get these?
I've been carrying them around for
a couple of days. What do they mean?
I see the wheels spinning.
Sex photos, sex crime.
Is he guilty?
Is he?
Yes.
What about the polygraph?
The eyewitness.
How did you do that?
Those were taken care of for me.
So, now you have it.
I'll see you in court, Arthur.
Oh, you forgot these.
So, you're home on leave?
Arthur's in the coastguard.
I don't understand.
He's getting worse.
It depends. He comes, he goes.
You didn't come for three weeks.
He missed you very much.
I was busy, Arnie.
I had the trial and all.
I know, I know.
It's important to you.
But you missed three Tuesdays,
so he lost his sense of time.
You know, Arnie...
I don't know what I'd do
if he goes.
- He's the only family I've got.
- He's very proud of you.
I'm a lawyer because of him.
He wanted it for me
and he made sure I got it.
To him -
- being a lawyer was
the finest thing you could be.
Your Honour,
court's about to begin.
Coming! Coming!
You must
