已婚，14 年， 5个
三个孩子。 6个
他在社区中有着深厚的根基。
被告 Finello 先生， 8个
已因严重罪名被捕
如果被定罪，可能面临 严厉的监禁
法官大人，我们不相信 检察官有很强的理由，
因此，我的客户没有理由逃跑。
- 史蒂夫？ - 我今天又给戈特利布医生打了电话。
他说史蒂夫可能 得了流感。
在考虑被告的工作后 和家庭记录，我，呃...
我发现他确实有根 在社区
而且我没有发现任何飞行威胁。
我们将把这个案子延期六周。
菲内洛的战绩无可挑剔 作为一名警察。
两年前， 你无可挑剔的被告被逮捕了
打包一个袋子，结果倒了 受贿铺路
来自他辖区内的毒贩。
- 你饿了？我请客。 - 大手笔。
-多少？ -四。
酸菜和芥末，请。
好吧，如果 Finello 一直在收受贿赂，
-他会被开除的。 -让我休息一下。
你是说两年前， 你的办公室做了一笔交易
和一个腐败的警察？
- 干得好。 - 看，Bleakie，这次不一样。
这次菲内洛被抓了 一个口袋里有一个八球
另一个是5000美元。
他外衣的口袋， 看在基督的份上。他穿着制服。
所以做一个更艰难的交易。
但是做个交易。
他最后一次服用阿司匹林是什么时候？
大约四个小时前，我去拿一些。
如果他星期一还在发烧， 你应该带他去看医生。
昨天， 赫比过来玩了。
你想告诉爸爸发生了什么事吗？
你告诉。
赫比带来了一个玩具...
一个坦克。
赫比离开后，
我在史蒂夫的口袋里找到它的。
在你的口袋里？
赫比忘记了。
赫比有很多动作玩具。 我没有，这不公平。 48岁
明天你——你把它还给赫比， 好的？
我会告诉他他忘记了。
史蒂夫……你告诉他真相。
唔。
你认为腐败 停在一个选区？
这是一根线，你拉它， 你解开整个织物。
如果他们都有罪， 他们都应该被开除。
春季大扫除？
-这是正确的。 -五十、一百个肮脏的警察，把他们全部钉死？
-这是正确的。 -随着市长即将连任？
我没听见你说 你说对吗？
你说对不对？
坎宁安不在乎 关于让市长难堪，
-你呢？ -男生。
你的老板...
你认为他会永远是检察官？
你觉得他会保护你？ 他明年 11 月出去。
-是啊，谁会反对他？ -他自己的派对会杀了他
-你会去树林里。 -我应该做些什么？
你想躲子弹吗？
我是一名检察官，我知道这需要什么 有时是为了追查证人。
看，这是关于对与错的。
不。
这是关于选举的。
怎么了？
这是沃思街，我把车停在这里了。 就在这儿！
-也许它被拖走了。 -不，这是一个合法的地方，
为什么会被拖走？
你个王八蛋。
你他妈的王八蛋！
- 假期？ - 走着瞧。
-整整两周？ -两周，莎拉！
这不像我们刚结婚的时候。 我是首席财务官，
副总统之一 现在公司的。

这对史蒂夫有好处。
这对你有好处。

谁在掩护？
一位名叫肖的执业护士。
她说我们该走了 到急诊室。
告诉她我们做到了。
把他的车拖走， 然后突然之间就像...
你还在和那个人打壁球 在星期二？
是啊，为什么不呢？ 嘿，克拉克知道利害攸关的是什么。
他的车被拖走了， 他妈的有什么大不了的？

Fertig先生，我一直在值班 32 小时。
我还没有和我自己的儿子在一起两个小时 在过去的三个星期里。

这可能是——
拜托，吉列博士，
你现在在这里，

如果 Finello 爆炸了 在政府面前。
我会处理这些的。

去他的办公室，去他的家。
就像你告诉我的那样。
你觉得值得吗？
好吧，让我们谈谈会发生什么 如果克拉克不打球。

我说你还有很多要学。
那些小狗怎么样，肖恩？
妻子不想让他们呆在家里。
话说，你有狗吗？
我还不够回家。

你经常使用图书馆吗 你什么时候是个男孩？
小时候看的书， 你在图书馆找不到它们。
好吧，无论你读什么， 你显然得到了你需要的。
你为自己做得很好。
你明白事情是如何运作的 但你一直保持良心。

被工作人员忽视。
不幸的是，他的儿子死了。
还有这个疯狂的 Fertig， 他横冲直撞
他射杀了一名职员，一名护士， 和一名医生。
他失去了儿子。
我的公司正在支付他的辩护费用。
他为你工作？
他是我的首席财务官。 我认识哈利将近 20 年了。
我愿意做任何事来帮忙。
他需要有人代表 谁有能力理解

希望你不介意我们得到 谈正事。
你一定是雷诺布尔派来的律师。
你和雷诺布尔关系密切？
我为他工作了20年。
你知道收费是多少吗？
我违反了第六修正案。
在法庭上，这被称为杀人罪 在第二学位。
在法庭上，你可以为我辩护。
在上帝面前，没有防御。
我想把上帝排除在外 目前。
那是不可能的。
Fertig先生，你认罪了， 你得到了生活。
你不认罪 由于——能力下降——
Meshuggener。
-对不起？ -疯狂的。
好吧，疯了。
法官将你还押到机构，
你康复了， 你最多在两三年内出局。
他们给了我一个...
精神病学评估。
-我读了报告。 -精神科医生认为我是...
-偏执型精神分裂症。 -我想要另一个评估。
据我所知，在你的传讯中，
你有法庭指定的律师
谁可能没有带你经历这个 尽我所能。
-现在你说你想要另一个评估。 - 或者另一位律师。
你打算聘请多少律师 经历？
尽可能多，直到我找到一个
-谁来代表我... -我正在努力 -
...因为我希望被代表。
-先生。 Fertig，现实一点。 -实际的？
实际上，理智的人会 不想
报复人 是谁害死了他的儿子？
哪个理智的人会想要服务 如果他没有必要，会很难过吗？
如果我说我杀人是因为我疯了……
那么我只是另一个杀人犯。
Fertig 先生，你会服役一段时间。
但不承担责任？
我要承担责任...
以纪念我的儿子。
他们不关心我的儿子。
对不起。
我的儿子史蒂夫...
他只有五岁。
他死前一天...
他偷了一个朋友的玩具，一辆坦克。
他想第二天还给她...
弥补。
他从来没有机会。
Bleakie 先生，你有孩子吗？
-先生。 Fertig。 -你有小孩吗？
不。
我的父母在奥斯威辛集中营幸存下来。
我的祖父母，我的曾祖父母 在大屠杀中幸存下来...
埃及、巴比伦、罗马。
三千多年，我的血脉，我的血脉……
我们忍受了。
我想看...
我儿子长大了。
学弹琴，打球……
看他读托拉 在他的成年礼上……
去上大学...
结婚了。
我永远不会有孙子， 布莱基先生。
现在一切都结束了...
与我一起。
我杀了三个人。
我想弥补。
我想认罪。
这是克罗斯兰法官。
嘿。
是我，我刚遇到这个人，Fertig。
和？
好吧，我有一个问题。
他想认罪。
罗伊……这可不是他妈的。
是的？
我是罗伊布莱基， 我是你丈夫的律师。
进来。
哦，我的表兄弟们。
他们正要离开。
打扰一下。
他执着于正义……
与未被带走的人 绳之以法。
每天，他都会拿着报纸 并找到...
可怕的故事。
警察腐败...
政治丑闻，医疗事故。
他想知道为什么……
人们不得不受苦。
为什么上帝允许这个世界上存在邪恶。
他会说，
“为什么这会发生在史蒂夫身上？ 上帝为什么不带我去？”
他一直在自言自语。
其他租客，
他们终于得到了超级 让哈利远离。
你怕他吗？
你听说过他的家人吗？
他的母亲和父亲都死了。
他没有兄弟姐妹。
他的同事呢？ 你听说过 Jack Renoble 的消息吗？
雷诺布尔先生。
他送花。
我为你的儿子感到非常非常抱歉。
他死于阑尾炎。
如果医生没有把我们拒之门外……
你能理解我丈夫的...
愤怒？
绝望。
我想说绝望。
你知道你丈夫有 杀了他们，弗蒂格夫人？
被捕前？
直到他回到家。
我们当时报了警。
你为他的所作所为感到羞耻吗？
我不像哈利，布莱基先生。
没有人像哈利。
很难辜负他。
他杀了三个人。
并准备为他的罪行付出代价。
被告坐在你的法庭上。
他有一个糟糕的律师，
所以他被定罪了。他决定杀 陪审团的每个人。
也杀了你
这太疯狂了，朱迪。那什么都没有 与上帝做。
你信神吗？
朱迪...
你？
我会告诉你我所知道的关于上帝的一切。
有一位神，
他或她
即将给我机会。
你最近读过报纸吗？
“克莱门特医院的杀手哭了 为了被杀的儿子。”
每个有过的人 被忽视或虐待
由医院或任何官僚机构，
理解 Fertig 的所作所为。
被告是唯一想要的人 这里有罪判决。
我让 Fertig 离开...
我是英雄。
肥...
妻子……小男孩， 死去的医生。
护士、文员……
你知道它们是什么吗？
他们全部？
他们是地方检察官办公室。
DA坎宁安的办公室。 抱歉，他正在开会。
埋伏，多名受害者——
这里有每一个元素 一个死刑案件。
如果布朗克斯区的波多黎各人 枪杀了蒙蒂菲奥里的工作人员，
他会被判死刑。
噢，天呐， Fertig 疯了！
如果你不玩死亡牌 与 Fertig，
你将永远无法再玩它。
每个黑人和波多黎各人 在这个城市将——
好吧，Liz，我们已经听说了。
你说呢，埃利奥特？
他们杀了他的儿子。
正确的？
我们在这里直播 在检察官办公室
距离公告的时刻
在克莱门特医院 三重谋杀案。
哈里•费蒂格...
我说不行 他会被判死刑，伙计。
有钱的犹太人，没办法。
如果他是有色人种，他们会开除他的屁股。
...下列的 大坎宁安，
市长将发表声明。
- 律师见面。 - 坐下来。
你还好吗？
怎么了？ 你不知道发生了什么事吗？
他们不去 为死刑。
我听到守卫们在说话。
我不明白， 我以为那会是个好消息。
请离开。
DA 不会去 对于死刑，Fertig 先生，
因为你自首， 你表现出悔恨。
你当律师多久了？
多久？
也许二十年？
像那样的东西。
他们告诉我你是个好律师。
是什么造就了一名好律师？
-你让你的客户离开。 -无论？
是的。
你有没有想要过两件事 同时？
你想要自由，
和你的妻子在一起 你想服刑。
你以为我喜欢坐牢， 布莱基先生？
我认为你是一个复杂的人，Fertig 先生。
我是一个非常简单的人，Bleakie 先生。
复杂的世界， 因为我们生活在一个复杂的世界，
我们被迫做出选择， 有时选择...
选择...
我想为我儿子的死报仇，我...
没有...
想要...
杀死三个负责人。
有时候我觉得这个世界 无非是悲伤。
地方检察官很惊讶 我感到懊悔。
我当然感到自责， 为什么我不会感到懊悔？
我为你感到难过。
你对不起我，为什么？
你真的想做正确的事， 不是吗？
你真的想做正确的事。
人们认为这是 很难做正确的事。
做正确的事并不难， 布莱基先生。
很难知道什么是正确的。
一旦你知道...
一旦你知道什么是对的...
很难不去做。
当你射杀那些人...
你知道。
谋杀两人死刑，你知道的。
-你知道。 -我知道。
我得到它。
他们杀了你的儿子。
你杀了他们，国家就杀了你。
除了国家不会杀了你，
所以国家比你仁慈。 是吗？
请离开。
是吗？
你想当烈士吗？
我想做一个好人。
你杀了三个人。
一个好人并非没有罪。
他承认...
并赎他的罪。
请离开。
我现在就告诉你，他在做广告。
你想出卖美国公众 在某事上，做广告。
还有你的客户 Fertig
这就是他所做的一切，广告。
他有一个想法，他想卖掉，
责任。
可能是一种极端的广告形式 但这不是美国的传统吗？
哦耶。
一路回去 到约翰•威尔克斯•布斯。
有点极端，是的。
有效的...
嗯，你的客户已经 在首页上，
每天。
他疯了吗？
事实上，考虑到他想做的事，
我会说他是个天才。
那是你要说的吗 在看台上？
你送给我的这个家臣， 我假设...
谁支付你的费用 也在报道这个。
这是正确的。
两万五千美元。
你经营一家诊所。
长期精神科护理 为贫困儿童。
您没有收到任何联邦、州或...
地方基金。
在法庭上，我想证明 Fertig 先生 因精神错乱而无罪。
布莱基先生...
你很有说服力。
罗伊•布莱基的办公室。
-嗨，是我。沙巴斯几点钟？ -十五，二十分钟。
我不认为你有时间转换。
如果我只是……顺道拜访呢？
刚到那里 在她点燃蜡烛之前。
祝福你，宇宙的统治者
谁使我们成圣 用你的诫命，
并命令我们 点燃安息日的灯火。
当史蒂夫去世时，就像上帝一样 已经转身离开了我...
就像哈利一样。
哈利相信上帝转身离开了吗 也来自他？
哈利永远不会相信……
永远无法相信。
你确定吗？
如果他曾经认为上帝已经离开了……
他在等待上帝的迹象。
沉默是标志。
上帝告诉哈利他必须 纠正错误。
所以哈利认为他是上帝的复仇天使？
我没有那样说。
你关心你的丈夫 非常喜欢，不是吗？
自从史蒂夫死后，哈利...
不让我靠近他。
想抱着他...
但他不会碰我。
我姨妈认为我应该离开他。
你为什么不呢？
我去找我们的拉比，拉比戈登， 谁让我祈祷，但我做不到。
当我遇到我丈夫时，我才 22 岁。
他想要一个家庭胜过一切。
在史蒂夫出生之前的所有岁月里，
哈利无法理解 为什么我们不能要孩子。
你想过收养吗？
哈利想要一个自己的孩子。
还有其他方法。
医生建议 人工授精，供体
但是哈利...
当医生放弃...
我什至想去 和另一个男人...
有一个孩子...
偷偷。
打扰一下。
警卫。
请给我一支笔好吗 和一张纸？
我知道那只该死的小黄鼠狼 坎宁安
不打算判死刑。
Fertig，他会像其他人一样吗？
他们没有得到的那一刻 死刑，
他们喜欢那种疯狂的踢踏舞。
谁愿意在监狱里度过一生？
是的，那是最美妙的部分，罗伊。 当你的朋友走路时。
我们可以使用 DA 的决定 反对他
十一月，我们要打败他 用他给我们的棍子。
效果很好。
朱迪，当我们在布里奇汉普顿外出时， 你在告诉我什么，呃
精神错乱的法律定义。
合法地证明某人疯了，
你必须证明他们没有 了解他们行为的后果。
你是说如果他不认识那些人 他开枪会死吗？
不，如果他不知道那是错误的。
泰晤士报说 他声称这没有错。
对不对，杰克？
他被抓住是错误的。
太愤世嫉俗了！
愤世嫉俗只是现实 随着音量调高。
愤世嫉俗者只是理想主义者 谁失望过。
但他想被抓住。
他不是吗，杰克？
你和他一起工作过，杰克。 他为什么要那样？
因为他杀了那些人。
我的意思是，也许他是理智的。正如他所说 他杀了三个，
他知道这是错的， 他想接受后果。
你在说什么，罗伊？
Fertig 不是疯了吗？ 你是这么说的吗？
希望你说的不是这个 因为如果你是——
卡斯，卡斯，卡斯，罗伊只是……
哈利•弗蒂格 是个格外正派的人。
所以，我对他有这种感觉并不感到惊讶。
他总是做正确的事。
晚饭后，只是，嗯...
Meg Renoble、Cass 的妻子和我。
梅格哭了起来。
她患有乳腺癌。
她需要进行乳房切除术。
六周后，我就 42 岁了。
今天是我的生日。
别担心雷诺布尔。
你会把 Fertig 弄下来的。
Fertig 不想下车。
我的意思是，为什么——为什么 Renoble 帮他？ 他在乎什么？
这对他有什么影响 如果 Fertig 认罪，
如果他不认罪。
-因为他们相识是因为- -我认为这是关于其他事情的。
别把事情复杂化了，罗伊。 这很简单。
不要搅局。
你会上来吗？
你不必过夜。
就一个小时。
这样我就可以睡觉了。
我不能。
你好。
什么时候？
你现在在哪里？
在这里，它就在这里。
- 他几个小时前企图自杀。 - 晚安。
因此，他们把他带到了这里 大约一个小时前到医院。
我丈夫怎么样？
他就在大厅的尽头。
他怎么样？
他们镇静了他。
有一个警卫跟在他身边。
你得冷静下来。
在你进去见他之前
你得冷静下来。听我说。
你老公的所作所为， 这听起来很糟糕，
但这可能是完美的事情 为他辩护。
听我说，你不想让他花钱 他的余生都在监狱里。
你是唯一的 谁能让他明白。
哈利。
- 哈利。 - 唔。
莎拉。
谁让她进来的？
-亲爱的。 -出去！把她弄出去！
我不想让你来这里。
一时疑惑。
怀疑的时刻？
-我尝试过了 - -什么？
试过什么？
了解为什么这会发生在我身上？
给你？发生在你身上？
史蒂夫是我的儿子。
你不觉得我也很痛苦吗？
这发生在我们身上。
对我们，哈利，对我们。
我和你一样爱他。
我们还剩下什么，我们的悲伤？不。
彼此。
然后你去做这个！
这是得罪神。
-我的意思是没有伤害你。 -反对上帝，
对我没有伤害！
我是怎么了？
-先生。阴暗的。 -这是正确的。
-你是 Fertig 先生的律师吗？ -我是。
他们在他的牢房里找到了这个。
谢谢你。
我会安排他留下 在医院
直到开庭。
我应该给我们叫一辆出租车。
你介意我们走一小段路吗？
我无法呼吸。
不。
在我长大的哈特福德，
每当一个男孩想带我出去，
他必须到家里来 先吃晚饭。
这是在 70 年代。
我是说，孩子们 我上学时吸毒，
他们周末一起出去玩。
我的父母害怕...
他们害怕我的朋友，他们...
他们害怕一切。
我从小就害怕。
即使在我父母去世后， 我很害怕。
当我在阴间遇见哈利时，
他有这样的...
肯定...
关于世界，关于他自己。
他让我感到安全。
这就是我嫁给他的原因。
他让我感到安全。
现在...
我不再感到安全了。
你没事儿吧？
我跟你说了一年休假。
你一直很有耐心，非常善良。
我没有...有机会这样说话 非常。
哦，这是一个漫长的夜晚。
我可以进来喝杯咖啡吗？
我不这么认为。
我不……这么认为。
我想帮你
咖啡准备好了。
对不起。
没关系。
这是交响乐、芭蕾舞的门票， 电影院。
你看过的所有节目？
不，我们没有看到所有的节目。
因为Harry太忙了，工作。
一个生日我...
包好递给他。
工作对哈利来说非常重要。
工作和史蒂夫。
那你呢？
你要去做什么？
现在你的儿子走了。
-嗯，哈利认为我们会... -忘掉哈利吧。
那你呢？
你想要什么？
我不知道。
-我不知道。 -没关系。
-我要做什么？ -没关系。
这不是你的错。
请。
别去。
没关系。
你在这。
那么，我们要假装它从未发生过吗？
我不知道。
我们所做的是错误的。 是的。
我不遗憾。
你在想什么？
我想亲你。
你不是赶时间吗？
到家了吗？
长老会。
-嗯？ -布莱基...
那是苏格兰威士忌，对吧？
我不会让你成为天主教徒 所以我认为你必须是长老会教徒。
我的父母是。
你受洗了，嗯？
他们不信教，不。
真的吗？
这很有趣，任何天主教徒 可以为任何人施洗。
与任何东西。
例如，波旁威士忌。
如果没有水和...
如果是紧急情况。
这是紧急情况？
是的，我想是的。
你受洗了，你就去天堂了。
你想去天堂，是吗，罗伊？
-不。 -看，我赢了。
有什么害处？
我的意思是，如果没有天堂，
你得到的只是有点潮湿。
好的。好的。
你想给我施洗，给我施洗。
不是我想要的。
你想受洗吗？
那是你的真实意图吗？
是的。
是的，我想受洗。
我为你施洗。以父之名， 圣子的，圣灵的。
哦，呃，我忘了告诉你。
既然你已经受洗...
你也可以下地狱。
罗伊，你在吗？ 罗伊，是莎拉。
请给我打电话。
当史蒂夫还是个婴儿的时候， 我以前每天都在这里散步。
经过爱丽丝梦游仙境的雕像， 奶制品。
动物园。
我一直很喜欢动物园。
北极熊，格斯。
一整天，他都会游过去 并以相同的模式...
强迫性地。
他们最终不得不派他去 给熊心理医生。
这是一个真实的故事。
所以，我们找了一群人来作证， 你知道。
罗伊。
心理医生会说 他一定是疯了
如果他想进监狱 如果他不需要的话。
罗伊。
昨晚发生了什么...
对不起。
不要道歉。
看着我。
不。
看着我。
我今年 38 岁。
我不像哈利，我不是圣人。
我是一个女人。 87 8
我还是一个年轻的女人。
我失去了儿子，失去了丈夫。
我还剩下什么？
我不想我的生命结束。
你应该回家。
你不想要这个。真的。
你以为我想用剩下的时间 我在监狱里的生活？
那就不要。
如果你让我下车，一切 那发生了，我所做的一切
- 没有意义，这只是谋杀。 -嗯，你怎么称呼它？
-正义。 -复仇！
正义。
他们对我儿子的死负有责任。 我负责他们的。
你不知道那是什么感觉。
你认为你是唯一一个曾经 失去了你关心的人？
我小时候父亲开枪自杀了。
他比我现在年轻。
我是你儿子的年龄。
你剥夺我认罪的权利， 你否认上帝。
我不想再听到关于上帝的事了。
如果你不想自救，
你不必。
我会得到法院的承诺令。
你甚至不会受审 但你会合作的。
你将不认罪 你知道为什么吗？
你知道为什么吗？莎拉。
你想继续牺牲自己， 前进，
-但你不会牺牲她。 -你有什么资格告诉我
我应该或不应该做什么？
如果你在监狱里， 她会怎样？
你有什么资格评判我？
你不觉得她想念她的儿子吗？
我儿子出生时...
他很小，我一只手拿着。
这一手。
他抬头看着我的脸 他笑了。
我以为这...
这就是我出生的目的。
成为这个男孩的父亲。
做老公又怎样？
你的妻子...
她失去了她的儿子。
而现在她将失去她的丈夫。
你是她的丈夫。
我的妻子...
我从不...
不是不爱她，
我爱她，Bleakie 先生。
只是因为相爱
并拥有美满的婚姻
完全是两个不同的东西。
我知道如何做父亲。
我不知道如何做一个丈夫。
Bleakie先生，请理解， 我们经历一生。
我们有损失。
然后我们都会遭受损失。
我们都...
为同样的事情祈祷。
我们不会遭受损失 我们不能把它抛在脑后。
我儿子怎么了...
我永远不能把它抛在身后。
我想死...
因为我永远无法把它抛在身后。
但如果这是上帝的要求……
那样工作。
你想要我做什么？
- Roy Bleakie 的办公室。 - 叫我 O'Donnell，好吗？
正确的。
Roy Bleakie 的办公室，你能等一下吗？
我找到了那个开车的出租车司机 来自医院的 Fertig。
嗯。是的。
奥唐奈，第二行。
-他愿意发表声明。 -真的？
卡斯？
是的。弗蒂格同意了。
对，再好不过了。
我会打电话给雷诺布尔。好的。
嘿，现在，来吧，祝贺我。
我要成为下一个DA

我没有看到杰克，我没有看到他， 他应该在这里。

罗伊，罗伊布莱基！
以为你永远不会到这里。
-过来。 -对不起，请稍等。
我想给你介绍一个人。 这是...
罗伊。这是属于你的夜晚，罗伊。
谢谢。
明天或后天停下来， 我们有很多话要谈。
市长刚来。
- 你好。 - 你好。
就在这里。我想给你看...
罗伊。
-我可以跟你说一句话吗？ -哦，是的，我很抱歉。
我是你爸爸的朋友， 他自己的公园，民主俱乐部。
要是他今晚能见到你就好了……
你爸爸会感到骄傲的，罗伊...
真骄傲
- 是的？ - 梅尔，是罗伊。你有时间出去走走吗？
当然。
二十、二十五年有期徒刑。
她老公现在多大了，51、52？
当他出来的时候，算一下， 他会75岁，她会60、65岁。
那是她想要的吗？ 她对我说，“我还剩下什么，
我不想我的生命结束。” 如果她的丈夫入狱，
她的生命结束了。我在救她，
我在救他， 我是那个要把他弄下来的人。
人们在聚会上来找我，
他们祝贺我。 市长要见我。
他们想让我担任公职。 我要成为他妈的检察官！
我要成为一名优秀的检察官
我要成为一个该死的好检察官
这是怎么回事？
这有什么问题？
没有人说这有什么问题。
抱歉打扰你。
一个朋友的儿子最近去世了，
我不知道任何祈祷，我不是犹太人。
我从来都不是很虔诚。
我只是来这里拜访我妻子的坟墓。
她在 15 年前去世了。
她是家里最虔诚的人。
我懂了。
我想帮助你。
它就在这里。
我只记得这些了。
没关系。
谢谢你。我很感激。
别忘了， 你和 Dr. Saperstien 在一起。
关于 Fertig 案。
正确的。
你还好吗？
是的。
有什么我应该知道的吗？
不。
你怎么了 昨夜？
我去了伊莱恩家，环顾四周 为了你，你从来没有出现过。
市长在那里，Renoble， 1031 01:17: 38,468 --> 01:17:40,178 -其他法官。 -我有个约会。
每个人，我的朋友，同事， 他们都想和你谈谈。
我们一直在等待这个。
我们？
哦，哦，我明白了。
现在 DA 的办公室在你手中， 你要放开我吗？
你在说什么？
我必须交付 Fertig...
去检察官的办公室？
别这样对我，罗伊。
我给你准备了一个小惊喜，
我可能会为他认罪。
在这里，先生。
很高兴你能做到。
我的上帝。啊!
相当不错的观点，不是吗？
唔。
你喜欢那幅画吗？
哈德逊河学校的弗雷德里克•丘奇 (Frederic Church) 着。
北极光，1865 年。
我的妻子找到了它。
她在史密斯学院接受艺术史学家培训。
毕业时，她度过了一年 在佛罗伦萨。
还有 Violetta，长 71 英尺。
她于 1978 年作为赛车手被买下。
她似乎打败了——
五月中旬你在做什么？
我们正在乘船游览。
你知道格鲁吉亚斯卡帕塔科斯吗？ 他拥有油轮。
他们会一起来， 和帕齐•科伯特。
还有梅威克米。
可爱的女孩，26岁。
刚从一段糟糕的婚姻中走出来。
我在努力让她高兴起来。
也许你可以帮助我们。
听起来不错。
这个给你。
-十万美元。 -为了你的竞选...
与地方检察官。
我不认为我可以接受这个。
你是个好人，有良心的人。
杰克，在 Fertig 案中...
我听说你正在考虑认罪。
你是怎么听到的？
你确定吗 这符合 Fertig 的最大利益吗？
这就是他想要的。
他是个麻烦的人。
你看到了吗？
我收藏的宝物。
Ferro 未发表的文章， 现存的唯一副本。
我花了六个月才退房 他的问题要确定
这是真的。
有没有想过出版它？
买的时候，哥伦比亚大学 联系我，说我有义务
文化——不！对文明...
发布它。
分享它。
但我想要唯一的副本。
当我买东西时， 我希望它像广告一样。
-Cass O'Donnell 向我保证你是 - -真实的东西。
可靠的。
你要回你的钱？
顺便说一下，这张支票是开的 在您的个人帐户上。
当我买东西时，它就是我的。
就像 Fertig 的法律费用一样。
做我想做的事。
你打算为 Fertig 认罪。
那是个错误。
杰克……我想你不明白。
对他来说是个错误
和你的错误。
我付给你 100,000 美元，
加上你的常规固定器... 对于 Fertig 的无罪抗辩。
无罪...
因为他疯了。
你说你想要我 在 Renoble 上挖一些狗屎。
给，这个人。
一些记者正在报道 Renoble 的 公路美化工程。
无偿服务，在 Katonah 附近。
“来自记者的内部备忘录 给编辑。”
我在时报交了一个朋友。
但是那个记者，他想要 调查那个项目，
但突然间他变得太忙了。
一些新闻补助金， 哈佛大学尼曼奖学金。
雷诺布尔有一些有影响力的朋友。
Fertig 知道一些事情，梅尔。
关于那个项目的事 这可能会伤害 Renoble。
和谋杀罪 不足以让 Fertig 作证。
只要他神志清醒
Fertig 的证词是可以接受的。
一个尼曼人。
杰克雷诺布尔。
好吧，我知道大多数人都知道的 关于他。
他喜欢我在时报的工作。
你现在回到时报， 正确的？
-是的，社论。 -Renoble 也为你做过吗？
HL 门肯。
谎言。
伟大的报人。
如果石头，他们说 他不能被收买。
-你这里有很多他的书。 -他是我的英雄之一。
Renoble 的高速公路美化项目。
684 号公路，卡托纳。
你为什么放弃那个调查？
什么调查？
在报纸上，他们说 你正在检查项目。
就在你得到你的……尼曼之前。
你知道伙计们...
我很忙。
上帝，你在这里获得了很多奖项。
“国家作家基金会”。
- 美国科学作家协会。 - 唔。
自从你的，嗯...
尼曼。
我的意思是，基督！尼曼。
一个有你天赋的人...
应该坚持 至少获得普利策奖。
滚出这里。
他到底闯了什么祸？
你想知道什么？
我从卡车司机那里得到了小费 在...
他拥有自己的公司。
他看到了 Renoble 项目中的污秽。
他的名字叫威廉•迪菲奥。
但你不会得到太多。
他已经半死不活了。
那是什么时候？ 一对，三年前？
我的大部分工作都是本地的。
为了这一次， 我得到了一些律师的访问。
我猜他是从城里来的。
说他代表某公司。
想让我搬走这片土地 用于美化环境。
公司打电话。
它以前如何？
不管怎样……他们给了我们两个星期。
我说那不可能。
他们说没关系，我们会负责的。
他们愿意付出很多。 很多加班。
我雇了额外的人
也从未问过自己， “急什么？”
我发现田地被污染了 含有毒素、杀虫剂、多氯联苯。
我看到了打印出来的。
一定是 15、16 种不同的。
五个人为我工作，那份工作。
我们正在对场地进行分级...
吸入它
为了热心...
死...
我也是。
骨癌。
扎鲁斯集团。
那是公司的名字。
咖啡准备好了。
你猜怎么着？
正在使用该字段的高速公路 景观，
它正好穿过巴豆水库。
并且有污染 在水中，它不是很多。
仍然。下雨的时候，所有的毒药都跑了 进入纽约市供水系统。
传票文件， 他们切碎了它们。
你得到土壤样本。
而三年后， 即使你发现毒素，
他们说别人甩了他们 在网站上。
你要如何证明 Renoble 负责？
奇怪的。
你没有听到，是吗？
什么？
没有什么。
没有鸟儿，没有声音。
一切都死了。
嗯，给你。
- William Defeo 是谁？ - Bleakie 先生，你为什么 -
威廉•迪福是谁？
- 迪福？ -卡托纳？
-公路美化工程？ -卡托纳。
你对 Zarus 集团有什么看法？
扎鲁斯集团？
我在一张纸上读到 在你桌上。
-你在读我的论文做什么？ -“数字太高了。”那是什么意思？
你在我办公桌前做什么？
数字太高了。
一个会计差异，仅此而已。
它与填充有关...
用于高速公路上的一些景观美化。
它应该花费我们 340 美元 但是卡车装载说我们得到了报酬。
超过 5,000 美元一载。
估计有人打 将错误的数字输入电子表格。
告诉我有关 Zarus 组的信息。
-先生。 Bleakie，我不明白—— -请。
扎鲁斯集团。
Renoble 的子公司之一。
-我们通过它运行了几个项目。 -公路美化工程？
-嗯嗯。 -还有什么？
替代能源。
冷藏。
还有什么？
呃，Renoble要我做一个...
过滤厂的可行性研究。
过滤城市供水。
如果城市供水进一步恶化，
联邦政府 要求过滤。
他们现在不过滤了吗？
不，他们只处理水。
-它们不过滤。 -为什么不？
我们不需要它。
这是一个极端的措施。
八十亿美元来建立一个系统。
八十亿！
并以每年5亿来经营。
你会得到那个合同？
我们是唯一足够大的。
雷诺布尔和市长是朋友。
所以，如果供水严重恶化，
这个城市被授权花费 八十亿美元的合同？
对于初学者。
为什么？
你真的不知道，是吗？
你真的不知道。
我们走吧。
这是什么？
你的遗书。
给莎拉。
他们在你的牢房里找到了它。 他们给了我。
我没有给她， 因为如果我有...
你没事吧？
这是你告诉我的。
人们认为这很难做到 正确的事情。
做正确的事并不难。
很难知道什么是正确的。
一旦你知道...
一旦你知道什么是对的，
那么很难不去做。
我睡过你老婆
我知道。
她告诉我。
一个好人并非没有罪。
他承认。
并解释...
他的罪。
我需要你为我做一件事。
你想要什么？
我这辈子都确定...
那是我所做的...
我确定我已经完成了 我必须做什么。
我想在某些方面 我就像你的丈夫。
在某些方面。
我帮不了你。
有时在生活中我们想要一些东西， 我们非常想要它。
我们不明白。
而我们得到的是别的东西， 我们发现...
-这就是我们一直需要的。 -你最好走吧。
你得走了。
都起来。

这些指控是真的吗？
是的，他们是，法官大人。
好的。我们现在休会这件事 为期两周
用于量刑前调查。
启禀大人...
我的客户希望放弃 量刑前调查。
被告人准备好接受判决了吗？
法官大人，国防委员会是免费的 争论任何他想要的
-关于量刑，但是... -启禀大人。
...这些都是可怕的谋杀 没有合理的理由。
-启禀大人。 - 辩方可能会试图声称 -
为什么我们听不到 辩方不得不说的话，
在你反对之前。
-继续。 -谢谢您，法官大人。
法官大人，我的客户想要 一份声明。
你不想等吗？
直到此时，你显然 没有遇到任何麻烦。

同事们，
可以帮助你减刑。
我想发表一个声明。
继续。
法官大人，我杀了梅森•吉列特博士
珍妮卡龙布瓦
和埃里克•马拉巴尔。
我杀了他们，因为他们...
他们不会帮助我的儿子， 他们太忙了。
他们不在乎。
我杀了他们是为了向世界展示 他们必须关心。
我知道...
我的所作所为是一种犯罪。不，更糟 与其说是犯罪，不如说是对...的犯罪
上帝。
反对...
神的律法。
拿起任何儿童圣经 就像我以前读给史蒂夫听的那本书一样。
记得……我是怎么坐在他床上的……
- 读他孩子的圣经？ - Fertig 先生。
因为我想让他长大 做一个好人。
- 一个好人！ - 请被告起立。
-史蒂夫，我的儿子。 - 请起床，Fertig 先生！
在他的孩子们的圣经中， 记住，莎拉，
有上帝的照片... - Fertig 先生。
...创造天堂，分开水域。
天哪，一个老人，一个妻子……
留着白胡子。
- 我们走吧，先生。 - 不做任何图像。
还记得安息日吗？
受到父亲和母亲的尊重。
- 母亲的荣誉。 - 删除被告。

你不可偷窃，
不可作假见证”！
你不应该犯...
你不可杀人。
你不许杀人！”
原谅我，莎拉！
我们将休会到两点钟 今天下午宣判。
我不知道该说些什么。
你太棒了！
你不说他疯了， 你证明他疯了！
他认罪，但他疯了。
这让我很担心。
现在我们做什么 是请我们的心理医生来作证。
这是一场精彩的表演。
恭喜。
不饿？
要我把它包起来带回家吗？
我很好。
随之而来的是令人震惊的一幕 今天在法庭上，当 Harry Fertig，
前首席财务官 知名企业，
和克莱门特医院的被告 谋杀，梅森吉列博士，
Jeannine Carrounbois，护士 和文员埃里克•马拉巴尔 (Eric Malabar)，
今天在法庭上鞠躬， 跪倒在地抽泣
在他妻子面前，作为法庭...
是的。
毒素渗入水库
以至于华盛顿 将强制过滤。
他投入了八十亿美元 最初放在他的口袋里
然后每年5亿美元...
来运行工厂。
你为什么要告诉我这个？
你刚刚把选举权交给了我。
雷诺布尔属于监狱。
起诉所需的一切 在这里。
被告人准备好接受判决了吗？
- 法官大人，我有一个声明。 - 继续。
谢谢您，法官大人。
如你所知 从今天上午的会议开始， 1389 01:42:07, 187 --> 01:42:09,356 我的委托人悲痛欲绝。
他爱他的儿子。
很明显。
他爱他的儿子。
他谈到了他的罪行。
犯罪是合法性问题。
违反法律的东西。
反对……人类法则。
找一个足够好的律师 你可以逃脱惩罚。
我已经做了几年律师了...
总是做一个案例...
我最终教了我的客户一些东西 关于法律，小“l”。
作为纽约州法律。
然而，这个案例有所不同，
在那，我有机会 从客户那里了解法律。
大写“L”的法律。
作为上帝的律法。
神的律法。
世界上最好的律师， 谁不能让你离开，
恳求你。
达成协议。
很多时候在我们的工作中， 我们满足法律条文。
人的法律，但不是法律的精神。
神的律法。
这个案例为我们提供了 有了难得的机会...
这两个想法走到一起。
是不是很奇怪...
那些想说实话的人 在这些程序中
通常被认为是疯子。
通常当有人被捕时 为了谋杀，
我们希望他做的第一件事 是否认它。
我们恳求精神错乱。
任何事情，但声称的责任 会说实话。
我的客户
想说实话。
他说我射了三个人，吉列， Carrounbois, 马拉巴尔,
我故意和故意开枪打死他们。
我开枪是因为他们杀人 通过他们的忽视。
我的客户说...
如果你想持有 生死之权在手，
如果你选择当医生或护士， 如果你选择了那个可怕的义务，
你必须负责。
这就是我的客户所相信的。
这就是他杀了他们的原因。
他承认了，承认他杀了他们。
而就在他说出这句话的那一刻，
在他说出真相的那一刻， 每个人都跳回去
并说，“哇，他疯了！”
他说实话，他一定是疯了。
通过恳求精神错乱， 你声称你疯了，
通过说实话，你证明了这一点。
-异议。 -否决了。
让我更进一步。
你看我疯了吗？
如果我告诉你怎么办 我受雇为我的客户辩护
为了说服他为精神错乱辩护
以便随后的任何证词 他可能会在法庭上屈服
- 会被污染-- - 反对，法官大人！
以他疯狂的恳求！
否决了。
如果我告诉你如果我成功了呢 他以精神错乱为借口，
某些人会帮助我进步 我的事业
- 成为DA - 异议！
法律顾问...
板凳的方法。
法官大人，辩护律师 已经证明
他桌上的那个人 是疯了。
他要三分之二吗？
辅导员……你好像 去...
一条不确定的道路。
它会带你去你想去的地方吗？
是的，法官大人。
异议被驳回。
谢谢您，法官大人。
法官大人，今天下午...
地方检察官埃利奥特坎宁安
将对 Jack Renoble 提出指控， 尊贵企业，
和 Renoble 子公司的 Zarus 集团 在州最高法院，
根据第 71-2714 条 环境保护法，
“危害公众健康、安全 或一级环境，
刑事指控，C 级重罪，
在一个句子中携带 四年半至 15 年监禁。”
我的客户 Harry Fertig 将被传唤为该案作证。
某些人认为的东西 竭尽全力阻止。
因为无论多么心烦意乱 我的委托人出现了，他没有疯，
他的证词将是有效的。
我的客户知道其中的区别 对与错之间。
了解他的行为的后果
并准备为他的罪行付出代价。
因为我们所有人都应该做好准备 支付我们的费用。
谢谢你。
请起立。
法庭认定你有罪 所有费用。
并判处你 25 年无期徒刑。
本庭休庭。
谢谢你。
阴沉！
我想和你谈谈！嘿！
- 笨蛋。 - Bleakie！
你打算上诉吗？
你为什么不停止请求？
你没事吧？
是的。
你为什么要那么做？
这是一件事 我不能把我抛在身后。
我会看到你。
EXMEN
Your Honor, I'd like to make an application for bail reduction.
My client, Lieutenant Finello has 12 years in the police department,
is married, 14 years,
three children.
He has deep roots in the community.
The defendant, Mr. Finello,
has been arrested on a serious charge
and if convicted, could face a stiff prison sentence.
Your Honor, we don't believe the D.A. has a very strong case,
therefore, my client has no reason to run.
- Stevie? - I called Dr. Gottlieb again today.
He said Stevie's probably got that flu going around.
After considering the defendant's work and home record, I, uh...
I find that he does have roots in the community
and I don't find any threat of flight.
We will adjourn this case for six weeks.
Finello had an impeccable record as a police officer.
Two years ago, your impeccable defendant was busted
packing a bag and ended up pounding the pavement for taking bribes
from drug dealers in his precinct.
- You hungry? My treat. - Big spender.
-How many? -Four.
Sauerkraut and mustard, please.
Well, if Finello had been taking bribes,
-he would have been kicked off the force. -Give me a break.
Are you suggesting that two years ago, your office made a deal
with a corrupt cop?
- Here you go. - Look, Bleakie, this time it's different.
This time Finello was caught with an eight-ball in one pocket
and 5,000 dollars in the other.
The pocket of his tunic, for Christ's sake. He was in uniform.
So make a tougher deal.
But make a deal.
When was the last time he had aspirin?
About four hours ago, I'll get some.
If he's still running a fever on Monday, you should bring him back to the doctor.
Yesterday, Herbie came over for a play-date.
Do you want to tell papa what happened?
You tell.
Herbie brought over a toy...
a tank.
After Herbie left,
I found it in Stevie's pocket.
In your pocket?
Herbie forgot it.
Herbie's got lots of action toys. I don't have any, it's not fair.
Tomorrow you-- you give it back to Herbie, okay?
I'll tell him he forgot it.
Stevie... you tell him the truth.
Hmm.
You think the corruption stops with one precinct?
This is one thread, you pull on it, you unravel the whole fabric.
If they're all guilty, they all should get kicked off the force.
Spring cleaning?
-That's right. -Fifty, 100 dirty cops, nail them all?
-That's right. -With the mayor coming up for re-election?
I didn't hear you, did you say that's right?
Did you say that's right?
Cunningham doesn't give a fuck about embarrassing the mayor,
-how about you? -Boy.
Your boss...
you think he's gonna be D.A. forever?
You think he's gonna protect you? He's out next November.
-Yeah, who's gonna run against him? -His own party is gonna kill him
-and you are going to be out in the woods. -What am I supposed to do?
You wanna dodge the bullet?
I was a prosecutor, I know what it takes sometimes to track down witnesses.
Look, this is about right and wrong.
No.
It's about the election.
What's the matter?
This is Worth Street, I left my car here. Right here!
-Maybe it was towed. -No, it's a legal spot,
why would it be towed?
You son of a bitch.
You goddamn son of a bitch!
- The vacation? - We'll see.
-The full two weeks? -Two weeks, Sarah!
It's not like when we were first married. I'm the chief financial officer,
one of the vice presidents of the company now.
The sun, the beach...
it'll be good for Stevie.
It'll be good for you.
Virgin Gorda.
Two weeks.
I'll make arrangements on Monday.
Is it something from work?
It's always something from work.
Some problem.
Nothing.
Papa!
Mama!
Sweetie?
His coat!
We can get a cab for the hospital. He's burning up!
Here, put this on first.
-We need the doctor. -So does everybody in the room.
Fill out this form. If you have insurance,
just write the name of the company and the telephone number.
-You don't understand, mister. -Don't forget to put the area code first.
This is an emergency.
They're all emergencies. Just fill out the form
-and take a seat. -But my son.
Take a seat.
-We'll call you when your turn comes. -But...
-Harry? -They'll call us when it's our turn.
-Did you reach Dr. Gottlieb? -The answering service can't find him.
Who's covering?
A nurse practitioner named Shaw.
She said we should go to the emergency room.
Tell her we did.
Gets his car towed, then all of a sudden it's like...
You still play squash with the guy on Tuesdays?
Yeah, why not? Hey, Clarke knows what's at stake.
He got his car towed, what's the big fucking deal?
And if he doesn't drop the charges?
He'll drop the charges.
You want odds?
This kind of stuff, you wanna be careful.
Doctor Erwin Robinson from maternity.
Evans.
-Evans? -Harry.
-My son. -You Evans?
-No, but my son-- -Evans?
-Please, Miss Nurse Carrounbois. Please... -Evans.
-...if you'll just-- -Uh, security...
- Hmm? - Sit him down.
-I have to see a doctor. -Come on.
It's an emergency.
Let's go beat that!
Harry.
How can you?
How can you smoke?
Oh I'm-- I'm trying to stop.
No, with people dying. How can you smoke?
I'm sorry, it's just we're so worried.
-Mrs.-- -Fertig.
Fertig. My name is Harry Fertig, this is my son.
-Cute kid. -He needs help.
Mr. Fertig, I have been on duty for 32 hours.
I haven't had two hours with my own son in the last three weeks.
Not even when he came down with a flu.
Which is probably--
Please, Dr. Gillett,
you're here now,
-just look at him. -Mr. Fertig, the doctor's on his break.
- Please can't you just look at him? - When it's your turn.
I beg you.
-When it's your turn. -He's burning up.
Baruk Hospital.
Stevie?
My God.
Sarah, he's not breathing.
He stopped breathing!
Stevie.
Stevie, Stevie, please!
Stevie, please, please!
Harry!
Oh, my God!
Parking illegally at a hydrant.
Parking at a hospital zone.
Too close to the curb, too far from the intersection
Church zone, school zone.
I spend more time at the pound
than I do at my kid's school.
How can you go along with this?
What's with you?
You're sitting here whining to me about a bunch of fucking parking tickets.
I'm trying to tell you you're gonna have worse problems
if Finello blows up in the administration's face.
I'll take care of these.
Last weekend, the long weekend.
Wife and kid are in Jersey visiting her sister
and our pal Clarke is at loose ends.
You know, I half froze my ass out of that fire escape.
By the time the bimbo arrived, my fingers were so cold,
I could barely work the camera.
Your insurance...
in case Clarke is thinking of changing his mind.
He's not gonna change his mind.
You know, I figure O'Donnell will be in court making out your report card.
Mayor listens to O'Donnell. I'll make you a bet,
next year...
you're District Attorney.
You send these things already?
To his office, to his home.
Just like you told me.
You think it's worth it?
Well, let's talk about what's gonna happen if Clarke doesn't play ball.
You think the Mayor is gonna wrap his arms around him and kiss him on the cheek?
If Clarke needs an excuse to do what needs to be done, I'm happy to give it to him.
Fucking guy should thank me.
These pictures.
I don't go in the court to lose.
People of the State of New York versus Louis Finello.
Docket number, 95N427156.
Penal law, 195,00.12.
Official misconduct,
bribe receiving in the first degree.
Compounding a crime.
Your Honor, the people moved to dismiss the charges against the defendant,
Louis Finello, on grounds of insufficient evidence.
That motion is granted.
Less than ten days.
That's all for today, Miss Baron.
Fist hearing at ten? Fine.
On the, um, Finello matter...
quite frankly, I thought the State had a strong case.
You sound unhappy that Clarke dropped the charges.
Not unhappy, curious about why.
Perhaps he didn't think the case was as strong as you do.
You are aware of the penalties
for obstruction of government administration,
tampering, official misconduct.
If it turned out there was any impropriety...
You've got a real future, Counselor.
Don't jeopardize it.
Because I care about you.
Police still have no suspects in the brutal slaying of Dr. Mason Gillett
in the men's room of Clement Hospital,
but sources close to the investigation say that authorities
are looking into a possible connection
with the murders of two other Clement Hospital employees.
Jeanine Carrounbois, a nurse, and Eric Malabar, a clerk,
were also shot this afternoon.
Miss Carrounbois, 38,
was killed in the compactor room of her east side co-op.
Mr. Malabar, 47, was found dead outside his upper west side apartment.
So far police have ruled out robbery as a motive
and investigations are continuing.
When we come back more on the underground...
Congratulations, Roy.
They told me I'd find you here.
I was just leaving.
Oh, look who's here.
The Bobsey twins.
What the fuck's the matter with you?
What the fuck is the matter with you anyway!
Let go of me!
Is that how you get off, Roy? Huh?
Is that how you get your kicks, huh?
Hey, Roy. My wife opens the mail.
My wife found those fucking pictures!
Roy!
Whoa, what did you do, huh?
I thought Clarke gave up the booze.
He had. Till yesterday in court.
You have the power to change lives, Roy.
Every time I've asked for a favor, like this business with Clarke and Finello,
every time I've asked you for something,
you've come through.
-What do you want now? -It's what you want, Roy.
-What do I want, Cass? -You want a job.
-I've got a job. -You want a better job.
A job where you can have a real effect. Make some changes.
Did you run that by the Mayor?
Mayor ran it by me.
What do you have in mind?
Three years ago, when Cunningham was running for D.A.,
some guys mentioned your name.
You said I wasn't ready.
I said you had more to learn.
How are those puppies doing, Sean?
Wife doesn't want them in the house.
Say, you have a dog?
I'm not home enough.
Train them right, you don't have to carry a gun.
A gun's easier to carry than a dog.
Everyone needs an edge.
Sean's right, Roy.
I need a dog?
You need an edge.
Hold this onto your chest. Look straight ahead.
I'm worried, Cass, worried about Clarke.
He isn't happy about dropping these Finello charges.
Eh, jerk off. The way he's hitting the booze, I don't think he cares.
I don't know.
I think he cares a lot.
What are you saying? He's going to ask who wanted the favor?
Are you threatening me?
I'm making a point.
Dean Cunningham is a fucking hard on.
Are you offering me Cunningham's job?
Dean Cunningham is a fucking hard on.
Five minutes late, I'm terribly sorry.
Roy, Jack Renoble. Mr. Renoble, Roy Bleakie.
So glad you could make it, Mr. Bleakie.
- Roy. - Roy.
-Mr. Renoble, nice to see, sir. -Good to see you, Kevin.
Perrier, no ice.
You gentlemen need more time?
Uh, you like fish, Roy?
Salmon tartars are excellent, three salmon tartars, you'll like it, trust me.
I was tied up in a meeting.
I'm putting together a group to sponsor expanded library hours
for East Harlem and Morningside Heights.
When I was a kid, I practically lived in the Bloomingdale branch.
Did you use library much when you were a boy?
The books I read when I was a kid, you couldn't find them in a library.
Well, whatever you read, you obviously got what you needed.
You've done very well for yourself.
You understand how things work but you've kept your conscience.
Better than most.
Some people would consider that liability.
Cass here probably considers that a liability, don't you, Cass?
I need your help, Roy.
You saw the papers this morning? This article
about the Clement Hospital murders?
The suspect,
the man who surrendered, Harry Fertig.
Apparently, he took his son into a hospital emergency room and felt...
neglected by the staff.
Tragically, his son died.
And this crazy Fertig, he goes on a rampage
and he shoots a clerk, a nurse, and a doctor.
He's lost his son.
My company is paying for his defense.
He works for you?
He's my chief financial officer. I've known Harry for nearly 20 years.
I would do anything to help.
He needs to be represented by someone who has the capacity to understand
a very complex situation.
He shot three people in cold blood.
- Not very complex. - Gentlemen.
Given, uh, Fertig's motive, the kid's death,
I don't think the D.A.'s going for the death penalty.
And here you are.
Prison would destroy him.
He needs help,
not punishment.
He pleads diminished capacity,
extreme emotional disturbance, he goes to a mental hospital.
Serves two to six, mm-hmm.
How's the salmon, Roy?
You were right, it's excellent.
I'm sorry to interrupt your prayers.
The Vidui.
The confession.
I didn't know Jews had confession.
I'm sorry about your son.
Hope you don't mind if we get down to business.
You must be the lawyer Renoble sent.
You're close with Renoble?
I've worked for him for 20 years.
You know what the charges are?
I've violated the sixth amendment.
In court, it's called homicide in the second degree.
In court, you can defend me.
Before God, there's no defense.
I'd like to leave God out of this for the moment.
That isn't possible.
Mr. Fertig, you plead guilty, you get a life.
You plead not guilty by reason -of diminished capacity--
Meshuggener.
-I'm sorry? -Crazy.
All right, crazy.
The judge remands you to an institution,
you get rehabilitated, you're out in two, three years the most.
They gave me a...
psychiatric evaluation.
-I read the report. -The psychiatrist thought I was a...
-Paranoid schizophrenic. -I want another evaluation.
I understand that at your arraignment,
you had a court appointed lawyer
who perhaps did not take you through this as thoroughly as I intend to.
-Now you say you want another evaluation. -Or another lawyer.
How many lawyers do you intend to go through?
As many as I have to until I find one
-who will represent me... -I'm trying--
...as I would want to be represented.
-Mr. Fertig, be realistic. -Realistic?
Realistically, what sane man would not want
to take revenge on people who caused his son to die?
What sane man would want to serve hard time if he didn't have to?
If I claim I killed because I was crazy...
then I'm just another murderer.
You will serve some time, Mr. Fertig.
But not take responsibility?
I want to take responsibility...
to honor my son.
They didn't care about my son.
I'm sorry.
My son, Stevie...
he was only five years old.
The day before he died...
he stole a friend's toy, a tank.
He wanted to return it the next day...
to make amends.
He never got the chance.
Do you have children, Mr. Bleakie?
-Mr. Fertig. -Do you have children?
No.
My parents survived Auschwitz.
My grandparents, my great-grandparents survived pogroms...
Egypt, Babylon, Rome.
Over 3,000 years, my line, my blood...
we endured.
I wanted to see...
my son grow up.
Learn the piano, play ball...
watch him read the Torah on his Bar Mitzvah...
go to college...
get married.
I'll never have grandchildren, Mr. Bleakie.
Now it all ends...
with me.
I murdered three people.
I want to make amends.
I want to plead guilty.
This is Judge Crossland.
Hey.
It's me, I just met this guy, Fertig.
And?
Well, I got a problem.
He wants to plead guilty.
Roy... this is not one to fuck up.
Yes?
I'm Roy Bleakie, I'm your husband's lawyer.
Come in.
Oh, my cousins.
They were just leaving.
Excuse me.
He was obsessed with justice...
with people who were not brought to justice.
Every day, he'd take the newspaper and find...
terrible stories.
Police corruption...
political scandal, medical malpractice.
He wanted to know why...
people had to suffer.
Why God allowed evil in this world.
He would say,
"Why did this happen to Stevie? Why didn't God take me?"
He talked to himself all the time.
The other tenants,
they finally got the super to keep Harry away.
Were you afraid of him?
Have you heard from his family?
His mother and father are dead.
He has no brothers or sisters.
What about his colleagues? Have you heard from Jack Renoble?
Mr. Renoble.
He sent flowers.
I'm very, very sorry about your son.
He died of appendicitis.
If the doctor hadn't turned us away...
Can you understand my husband's...
Rage?
Despair.
I was going to say despair.
Did you know that your husband had killed them, Mrs. Fertig?
Before he was arrested?
Not until he got home.
We called the police then.
Are you ashamed of what he did?
I'm not like Harry, Mr. Bleakie.
No one's like Harry.
It's hard to live up to him.
He killed three people.
And is ready to pay for his crimes.
A defendant sits in your courtroom.
He's got a shitty lawyer,
so he's convicted. He decides to kill everyone on the jury.
Kills you too.
That's nutty, Judy. That's got nothing to do with God.
Do you believe in God?
Judy...
Do you?
I'll tell you everything I know about God.
There is a God,
and he or she
is about to give me my shot.
Have you read the newspapers lately?
"Clement Hospital killer weeps for slain son."
Everyone who has ever been ignored or mistreated
by a hospital or any bureaucracy,
understands what Fertig did.
The defendant is the only one who wants a guilty verdict here.
I get Fertig off...
I'm a hero.
Fertig...
the wife... the little boy, the dead doctor.
The nurse, the clerk...
You know what they are?
All of them?
They're the District Attorney's office.
D.A. Cunningham's office. Sorry, he's in a meeting.
Lying in wait, multiple victims -
there's every element here of a capital case.
If a Puerto Rican in the Bronx shot up the staff at Montefiore,
he'd get the death penalty.
Oh, for crying out loud, Fertig was out of his mind!
If you don't play the death card with Fertig,
you will never be able to play it again.
Every Black and Puerto Rican in this city will--
All right, Liz, we've heard this already.
What do you say, Elliot?
They killed his son.
Right?
We're here live at the D.A.'s office
moments away from an announcement
on the Clement Hospital triple murder case.
Harry Fertig...
I say no way he gets the death penalty, man.
Rich Jew, no way.
If he a man of color, they'd fire his ass.
...following D.A. Cunningham,
the Mayor will make a statement.
- Counsel to meet. - Sit your ass down.
Are you okay?
What's the matter? Don't you know what happened?
They're not going for the death penalty.
I heard the guards talking.
I don't understand, I thought that would be good news.
Please go.
The D.A. is not going for the death penalty, Mr. Fertig,
because you turned yourself in, you showed remorse.
How long have you been a lawyer?
How long?
Twenty years maybe?
Something like that.
They tell me you're a good lawyer.
What makes a good lawyer?
-You get your clients off. -No matter what?
Yeah.
Have you ever wanted two things at the same time?
You want to be free,
be with your wife and you want to serve your sentence.
You think I like being in prison, Mr. Bleakie?
I think you're a complex man, Mr. Fertig.
I'm a very simple man, Mr. Bleakie.
It's the world that's complex, and because we live in a complex world,
we are forced to make choices, and sometimes the choices...
the choices...
I wanted to avenge my son's death, I...
did not...
want to...
Kill the three people responsible.
Sometimes I think the world is nothing but sorrow.
The District Attorney is surprised that I feel remorse.
Of course I feel remorse, why wouldn't I feel remorse?
I'm sorry for you.
You're sorry for me, why?
You really want to do what's right, don't you?
You really want to do the right thing.
People think it's hard to do the right thing.
It's not hard to do the right thing, Mr. Bleakie.
It's hard to know what the right thing is.
Once you know...
once you know what's right...
It's hard not to do it.
When you shot those people...
you knew.
Murder two the death penalty, you knew.
-You knew. -I knew.
I get it.
They killed your son.
You kill them, the state kills you.
Except the state won't kill you,
so the state's more merciful than you. Is that it?
Please go.
Is that it?
You want to be a martyr?
I want to be a good man.
You murdered three people.
A good man is not without sin.
He admits...
and expiates his sin.
Please go.
I'll tell you right now, he's advertising.
You want to sell the American public on something, advertise.
And your client, Fertig,
that's all he's doing, advertising.
He's got an idea that he wants to sell,
responsibility.
It may be an extreme form of advertising but isn't it in the American tradition?
Oh, yeah.
Going all the way back to John Wilkes Booth.
A little extreme, yes.
Effective...
well, your client's been on the front page,
everyday.
Is he insane?
In fact, given what he wants to do,
I'd say he's a genius.
Is that what you're gonna say on the stand?
This retainer you sent me, I assume that...
whoever's paying your fee is also covering this.
That's right.
Twenty five thousand dollars.
You run a clinic.
Long term psychiatric care for deprived children.
You receive no federal, state, or...
local funds.
In court, I'd like to prove Mr. Fertig not guilty by reason of insanity.
Mr. Bleakie...
you're very persuasive.
Roy Bleakie's office.
-Hey, it's me. What time is Shabbas? -Fifteen, 20 minutes.
I don't think you have time to convert.
What if I just... dropped by?
Just get there before she lights the candles.
Blessed are you, ruler of the universe
who has sanctified us with your commandments,
and commanded us to kindle the Sabbath lights.
When Stevie died, it was like God had turned away from me...
just like Harry did.
Does Harry believe that God turned away from him too?
Harry would never believe that...
could never believe that.
Are you sure of that?
If he ever thought God had turned away...
he was waiting for a sign from God.
Silence was the sign.
God telling Harry he had to right the wrong.
So Harry thinks he's God's avenging angel?
I didn't say that.
You care about your husband very much, don't you?
Since Stevie's death, Harry...
won't let me near him.
I want to hold him...
but he won't touch me.
My aunt thought I should leave him.
Why didn't you?
I went to our Rabbi, Rabbi Gordon, who told me to pray but I couldn't.
When I met my husband, I was only 22.
He wanted a family more than anything.
In all the years before Stevie was born,
Harry couldn't understand why we couldn't have a child.
Did you think about adopting?
Harry wanted a child of his own.
There are other ways.
The doctors suggested artificial insemination, a donor
but Harry...
When the doctors gave up...
I even thought of going with another man...
to have a child...
secretly.
Excuse me.
Guard.
Could I have a pen, please, and a piece of paper?
I knew that little fucking weasel Cunningham
wasn't going to go for the death penalty.
And Fertig, will he be like the others?
The minute they don't get the death penalty,
they go for that insanity tap dance.
Who'd want to spend his life in jail?
Yeah, that's the beautiful part, Roy. As your friend walks.
And we get to use the D.A.'s decision against him
in November, we're gonna beat him with the stick he gave us.
Works quite well.
Judy, when we out at Bridgehampton, what were you telling me, uh,
the legal definition of insanity.
Legally to prove somebody's crazy,
you have to show that they did not understand the consequences of their acts.
You mean if he didn't know the people he shot would die?
No, if he didn't know it was wrong.
The Times says he's claiming it wasn't wrong.
Isn't that right, Jack?
It was wrong he get caught.
That's so cynical!
Cynicism is just reality with the volume turned up.
A cynic is just an idealist who's been disappointed.
But he wanted to get caught.
Didn't he, Jack?
You worked with him, Jack. Why would he want that?
Because he killed those people.
I mean, maybe he is sane. As he claims he killed three,
he knows it's wrong, he wants to accept the consequences.
What are you saying, Roy?
Fertig isn't crazy? Is that what you're saying?
I hope that's not what you're saying, because if you are--
Cass, Cass, Cass, Roy's just...
Harry Fertig is an extraordinarily decent man.
So, I'm not surprised he feels that way.
He always did the right thing.
After dinner, it was just, um...
Meg Renoble and Cass's wife and me.
Meg started crying.
She has breast cancer.
She needs a mastectomy.
In six weeks, I'll be 42.
It's my birthday.
Don't worry about Renoble.
You'll get Fertig off.
Fertig doesn't wanna get off.
I mean, why-- why is Renoble helping him? What does he care?
What difference does it make to him if Fertig pleads guilty,
if he pleads not guilty.
-'Cause they've known each other for-- -I think it's about something else.
Don't complicate it, Roy. This is a no brainer.
Don't rock the boat.
Will you come up?
You don't have to spend the night.
Just an hour.
So I can get to sleep.
I can't.
Hello.
When?
Where are you now?
Here, it's right here.
- He attempted suicide couple of hours ago. - Goodnight.
Hence, they brought him here to the hospital about an hour ago.
How is my husband?
He's just down at the end of the hall.
How is he?
They sedated him.
There's a guard with him.
You got to calm down.
Before you go in there and see him,
you got to calm down. Listen to me.
What your husband has done, this may sound awful,
but it could be the perfect thing for his defense.
Listen to me, you don't want him to spend the rest of his life in jail.
You're the only one who could make him understand.
Harry.
- Harry. - Hmm.
Sarah.
Who let her in here?
-Darling. -Out! Get her out!
I don't want you coming here.
A moment of doubt.
A moment of doubt?
-I tried to-- -To what?
Tried to what?
To understand why this happened to me?
To you? Happened to you?
Stevie was my son.
Don't you think I suffered too?
This happened to us.
To us, Harry, to us.
I loved him as much as you did.
And what are we left with, our grief? No.
With each other.
And then you go and do this!
It was a sin against God.
-I meant you no harm. -Against God,
meant me no harm!
What is happening to me?
-Mr. Bleakie. -That's right.
-Are you Mr. Fertig's lawyer. -Yes, I am.
They found this in his cell.
Thank you.
I'll make arrangements for him to stay in the hospital
until the trial.
I should get us a cab.
Do you mind if we walk a little?
I can't breathe.
No.
In Hartford, where I grew up,
whenever a boy wanted to take me out,
he'd have to come to the house for dinner first.
This was in the 70s.
I mean, the kids I went to school with were taking drugs,
they were going off on weekends together.
My parents were afraid...
they were afraid of my friends, they...
they were afraid of everything.
I grew up afraid.
Even after my parents died, I was afraid.
When I met Harry at Sheol,
he had such...
certainty...
about the world, about himself.
He made me feel safe.
That's why I married him.
He made me feel safe.
And now...
I don't feel safe anymore.
Are you all right?
I've talked you a year off.
You've been very patient, very kind.
I don't... get a chance to talk like this very much.
Oh, it's been a long night.
Can I come in for a coffee?
I don't think so.
I don't... think so.
I wanna help you.
Coffee's ready.
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
It's tickets to the symphony, the ballet, the theater.
All the shows you've seen?
No. All the shows we didn't see.
Because Harry was too busy, working.
One birthday I...
wrapped it up and gave it to him.
Work was very important to Harry.
Work and Stevie.
What about you?
What are you gonna do?
Now that your son is gone.
-Well, Harry thought that we would... -Forget about Harry.
What about you?
What do you want?
I don't know.
-I don't know. -It's all right.
-What am I gonna do? -It's all right.
It's not your fault.
Please.
Don't go.
It's okay.
There you are.
So, do we pretend it never happened?
I don't know.
What we did was wrong.
Yeah.
I'm not sorry.
What are you thinking?
I wanna kiss you.
Aren't you rushing the hour a little?
Been home yet?
Presbyterian.
-Huh? -Bleakie...
that's scotch Irish, right?
I don't make you for a catholic so I figured you got to be a Presbyterian.
My parents were.
You were baptized, hmm?
They weren't religious, no.
Really?
It's funny, any catholic can baptize anyone.
With anything.
With bourbon, for instance.
If there's no water and...
if it's an emergency.
This is an emergency?
Yeah, I think it is.
You're baptized, you go to heaven.
You wanna go to heaven, don't you, Roy?
-No. -Look, I win.
What's the harm?
I mean, if there is no heaven,
all you get is a little damp.
Okay. Okay.
You wanna baptize me, baptize me.
Not what I want.
Do you want to be baptized?
Is that your true intention?
Yes.
Yes, I wanna be baptized.
I baptize thee. In the name of the Father, of the Son, of the Holy spirit.
Oh, uh, I forgot to tell you.
Now that you've been baptized...
you can also go to hell.
Roy, are you there? Roy, it's Sarah.
Please call me.
When Stevie was a baby, I used to walk here every day.
Pass the Alice in Wonderland's statue, the dairy.
Zoo.
I've always loved the zoo.
The polar bear, Gus.
All day, he would swim over and over in the same pattern...
compulsively.
They finally had to send him to a bear psychiatrist.
It's a true story.
So, we get a bunch of people to testify, you know.
Roy.
The psychiatrist will say that he's gotta be crazy
if he wants to go to jail if he doesn't have to.
Roy.
What happened last night...
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize.
Look at me.
No.
Look at me.
I'm 38 years old.
I'm not like Harry, I'm not a saint.
I'm a woman.
I'm still a young woman.
I've lost my son, I've lost my husband.
And what do I have left?
I don't want my life to be over.
You should go home.
You don't want this. Really.
You think I want to spend the rest of my life in prison?
Then don't.
If you get me off, everything that happened, everything I did
-has no meaning, it's just murder. -Well, what do you call it?
-Justice. -Revenge!
Justice.
They were responsible for my son's death. I'm responsible for theirs.
You don't know what's it like.
You think you're the only one that ever lost somebody that you care about?
My father shot himself when I was a kid.
He was younger than I am now.
I was your son's age.
You deny me my right to plead guilty, you deny God.
I don't wanna hear anymore about God.
If you don't wanna save yourself,
you don't have to.
I'll get a court order to commitment.
You won't even stand trial but you are going to cooperate.
You are going to plead not guilty and do you know why?
Do you know why? Sarah.
You wanna go ahead and sacrifice yourself, go ahead,
-but you're not gonna sacrifice her. -What right do you have telling me
what I should or should not do?
If you're in jail, what's gonna happen to her?
What right do you have to judge me?
Don't you think she misses her son?
When my son was born...
he was so small, I held in one hand.
This hand.
And he looked up into my face and he smiled.
And I thought that this...
this is what I was born for.
To be this boy's father.
What about being a husband?
Your wife...
she's lost her son.
And now she's gonna lose her husband.
You are her husband.
My wife...
I never...
It's not that I didn't love her,
I loved her, Mr. Bleakie.
It's just that being in love
and having a successful marriage
are two different things, entirely.
I knew how to be a father.
I didn't know how to be a husband.
Mr. Bleakie, please understand, we go through life.
We have our losses.
And then we all suffer losses.
We all...
pray for the same thing.
That we don't suffer the loss that we cannot put behind us.
What happened to my son...
I can never put it behind me.
I wanted to die...
because I could never put this behind me.
But if this is what God demands...
Works that way.
What do you want me to do?
- Roy Bleakie's office. - Get me O'Donnell, would you?
Right.
Roy Bleakie's office, can you hold please?
I tracked down that cabby that drove Fertig from the hospital.
Uh huh. Yeah.
O'Donnell, line two.
-He's willing to make a statement. -Really?
Cass?
Yeah. Fertig agreed.
Right, couldn't be better.
I'll call Renoble. Okay.
Hey, now, come on, congratulate me.
I'm gonna be the next D.A.
-Yeah. Look, Roy-- -Hold that thought I gotta run.
I don't see Jack, I don't see him, he's supposed to be here.
- Oh, Cass. - Hi, Andy, hi.
Andy Havighurst, Roy Bleakie.
-Roy, good to see you. -Monster State planner,
-this guy's a genius. -Nice to meet you.
Fucked my ex-wife big time.
- Jacob. This is Jacob. - Hi, Cass.
-Roy Bleakie. -Jacob Federman.
-Hi, pleasure to see you. -Excuse us.
Senior partner, Federman...
- Oh, hi, hey, Maira, Maira. - Oh, hello!
Sandy, how are you?
Uh, Maira, this is Roy Bleakie, Maira is president of the Neil Foundation.
-Pleasure. -Yeah.
-Oh. Very nice to meet you. -Nice to see you again. Okay.
-What's the Neil Foundation? -Fuck, I don't know.
Roy, Roy Bleakie!
Thought you'd never get here.
-Come here. -Excuse me one moment.
I want to introduce you to someone. This is...
Roy. This is your night, Roy.
Thanks.
Stop by tomorrow or the next day, we got a lot to talk about.
Mayor just arrived.
- Hi. - Hi.
Right in here. I wanna show you...
Roy.
-Can I have a word with you? -Oh, yeah sure, I'm sorry.
I was a friend to your dad, of his own park, democratic club.
If he could only see you tonight...
your dad'll be proud, Roy...
real proud.
- Yeah? - Mel, it's Roy. You got time for a walk?
Sure.
Twenty, 25 years in prison.
How old's her husband now, 51, 52?
When he comes out, do the math, he'll be 75, she'll be 60, 65 years old.
Is that what she wants? She says to me, "What do I have left,
I don't want my life to be over." If her husband goes to prison,
her life is over. I'm saving her,
I'm saving him, I'm the one who's gonna get him off.
People come at to me at parties,
they congratulate me. The mayor wants to meet me.
They want to put me up for office. I'm gonna be the fucking D.A.!
I'm gonna be a good D.A.
I'm gonna be a goddamn good D.A.
What's the matter with that?
What is wrong with that?
Nobody said anything's wrong with that.
Sorry to bother you.
A son of a friend died recently,
I don't know any prayers, I'm not Jewish.
I've never been very religious.
I'm just here visiting my wife's grave.
She died 15 years ago.
She was the religious one in the family.
I see.
I'd like to help you.
It's right over here.
That's all I can remember.
That's fine.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Don't forget, you're one o'clock with Dr. Saperstien.
On the Fertig case.
Right.
You okay?
Yeah.
Anything I should know?
No.
What happened to you last night?
I went to Elaine's, looked around for you, you never showed up.
The mayor was there, Renoble,
-other judges. -I've got an appointment.
Everyone, my friends, colleagues, they all wanted to talk to you.
We've waited for this.
We?
Oh, oh, I get it.
Now the D.A's office is in your hand, you're gonna cut me loose?
What are you saying?
That I had to deliver Fertig...
to get to the D.A's office?
Don't do this to me, Roy.
I got a little surprise for you,
I just might plead him guilty.
In here, sir.
Glad you could make it.
My God. Ah!
Quite a view, isn't it?
Hmm.
You like that painting?
By Frederic Church, Hudson River School.
Aurora Borealis, 1865.
My wife found it.
She trained as an art historian at Smith.
When she graduated, she spent a year in Florence.
And the Violetta, length, 71 feet.
She was bought as a racer in 1978.
She seemed to beat--
What are you doing in the middle of May?
We're taking a little cruise.
You know Georgian Scarpatacos? He owns the oil tankers.
They'll be coming along, and Patsy Cobert.
And May Wickmey.
Lovely girl, 26.
Just come out of a terrible marriage.
I'm trying to cheer her up.
Maybe you could help us.
Sounds lovely.
This is for you.
-One hundred thousand dollars. -For your campaign...
with District Attorney.
I don't think I can accept this.
You're a good man, man of conscience.
Jack, in the Fertig case...
I heard you're considering a guilty plea.
How did you hear that?
Are you sure it's in Fertig's best interest?
That's what he wants.
He's a troubled man.
Did you see this?
The treasure of my collection.
An unpublished essay by Ferro, the only copy in existence.
Took me six months to check out his problems to make sure
it was the real thing.
Ever thought of publishing it?
When I bought it, Colombia university contacted me, said I had an obligation
to culture-- No! To civilization...
to publish it.
To share it.
But I want the only copy.
When I buy something, I expect it to be as advertised.
-Cass O'Donnell assured me that you were-- -The real thing.
Reliable.
You want your money back?
By the way, this check is drawn on your personal account.
When I buy something, it's mine.
Just like Fertig's legal fees.
To do with what I want.
You're planning to plead Fertig guilty.
That's a mistake.
Jack... I don't think you understand.
A mistake for him
and a mistake for you.
I'm paying you 100,000 dollars,
plus your regular retainer... for Fertig's not guilty plea.
Not guilty...
because he's insane.
You said you wanted me to dig up some shit on Renoble.
Here, this guy.
Some reporter was covering Renoble's highway beautification projects.
A pro bono, up near Katonah.
"An internal memo from the reporter to the editor."
I got a friend at The Times.
But that reporter, he wanted to investigate that project,
but suddenly he gets too busy.
Some journalism grant, a Nieman fellowship at Harvard.
Renoble has influential friends.
Fertig knows something, Mel.
Something about that project that could hurt Renoble.
And a murder conviction isn't enough to take Fertig as a witness.
So long as he's sane,
Fertig's testimony is acceptable.
A Nieman fellow.
Jack Renoble.
Well, I know what most people know about him.
He liked my work at The Times.
You're back at The Times now, right?
-Yeah, editorial. -Did Renoble do that for you too?
H. L. Mencken.
Liebling.
Great newspapermen.
I.F. Stone, they said he couldn't be bought.
-You got a lot of his books here. -He's one of my heroes.
Renoble's highway beautification project.
Route 684, Katonah.
Why did you drop that investigation?
What investigation?
At the paper, they said you were checking the project out.
Right before you got your... Nieman.
You know fellas...
I'm busy.
You got a lot of awards here, God.
"National Writer's Foundation".
- American Society of Science Writers. - Hmm.
Nothing since your, um...
Nieman.
I mean, Christ! A Nieman.
A guy with your talent...
should have held out for at least a Pulitzer.
Get the fuck out of here.
What kind of shit has he gotten into?
What do you wanna know?
I got a tip from a trucker up in...
He owns his own company.
He saw the filth in Renoble's project.
His name is William Defeo.
But you won't get much.
He's half dead.
When was it? A couple, three years back?
Most of my work was local.
For this once, I got a visit from some lawyer.
I guess he was from the city.
Said he represented some company.
Wanted me to move all this field for landscaping.
Company called.
What was it?
Anyway... two weeks they gave us.
I said that's impossible.
They said it don't matter, we'll cover it.
They were willing to pay a lot. A lot of overtime.
I hired extra guys
and never asked myself, "What's the hurry?"
I found out the field was contaminated with toxins, pesticides, P.C.B's.
I saw a print out.
Must've been 15, 16 different kinds.
Five guys working for me, that job.
We were grading the field...
breathing it in
For eager's sake...
dying...
me too.
Bone cancer.
Zarus group.
That was the company's name.
Coffee's ready.
And guess what?
The highway this field was being used to landscape,
it was right through the Croton reservoir.
And there was a contamination in the water, it's not a lot.
Still. When it rains, all that poison runs into the New York city water supply.
The subpoena documents, they shred 'em.
You get soil samples.
And after three years, even if you find toxins,
they say somebody else dumped them on the site.
How are you gonna prove Renoble is responsible?
Strange.
You don't hear it, do you?
What?
Nothing.
No birds, no sounds.
Everything is dead.
Um, there you go.
- Who is William Defeo? - Mr. Bleakie, why do you--
Who is William Defeo?
- Defeo? - Katonah?
-The highway beautification project? -Katonah.
What do you about Zarus group?
Zarus group?
I read that on a piece of paper on your desk.
-What were you doing reading my papers? -"Numbers too high." What did that mean?
What were you doing at my desk?
Numbers too high.
An accounting discrepancy, that's all.
It had to do with fill...
for some landscaping on a highway.
It should have cost us 340 dollars but truck loading said we were being paid.
Over 5,000 dollars a load.
Probably somebody punched the wrong numbers into a spreadsheet.
Tell me about Zarus group.
-Mr. Bleakie, I don't understand-- -Please.
Zarus group.
One of Renoble's subsidiaries.
-We ran a few projects through it. -The highway beautification project?
-Mm-hmm. -What else?
Alternate energy.
Refrigeration.
What else?
Well, uh, Renoble wanted me to do a...
feasibility study for a filtration plant.
To filter the city's water supply.
If the city water degrades any further,
the federal government mandates filtration.
They don't filter now?
No, they only treat the water.
-They don't filtrate. -Why not?
We don't need it.
It's an extreme measure.
Eight billion dollars to build a system.
Eight billion!
And 500 million a year to operate.
And you would get that contract?
We're the only ones big enough.
And Renoble and the mayor are friends.
So, if the water supply degrades enough,
the city is mandated to spend eight billion dollars in contract?
For starters.
Why?
You really don't know, do you?
You really don't know.
Let's go.
What's this?
Your suicide note.
To Sarah.
They found it in your cell. They gave it to me.
I didn't give it to her, because if I had...
You all right?
It was what you told me.
People think it's hard to do the right thing.
It's not hard to do the right thing.
It's hard to know what the right thing is.
And once you know...
Once you know...
once you know what is right,
then it's hard not to do it.
I slept with your wife.
I know.
She told me.
A good man is not without sin.
He admits.
And expiates...
his sin.
I need you to do something for me.
What do you want?
All my life I've been certain...
that what I've done...
I've been sure that I've done what I had to do.
I guess in some ways I'm like your husband.
In some ways.
I can't help you.
Sometimes in life we want something, we want it so badly.
And we don't get it.
And we get something else instead, we find out that...
-that's what we needed all along. -You better go.
You have to go.
All rise.
Court is in session. The honorable, Seth Dunbar, presiding.
People of the State of New York versus Harry Fertig.
Indictment number 2814-99.
Charges, murder in the second degree.
Mr. Prosecutor, are you ready to proceed to a disposition?
Yes, Your Honor.
Application, counselor.
Your Honor, at this time
my client has authorized me to enter a plea of guilty
to three counts of murder in the second degree.
Do you understand that a plea of guilty
is the same as a conviction after trial?
Yes, I do.
And you are charged to three counts of murder in the second degree.
In at, um, November the third.
With intent to cause the deaths of Mason Gillett, Jeannine Carrounbois,
and Eric Malabar, you caused their deaths.
Are these charges true?
Yes, they are, Your Honor.
All right. We will now adjourn this matter for a period of two weeks
for pre-sentencing investigation.
Your Honor...
my client wishes to waive the pre-sentencing investigation.
Defendant is ready for sentencing?
Your Honor, defense council is free to argue anything he wants
-about sentencing, but... -Your Honor.
...these are horrendous murders for which there can be no rational justification.
-Your Honor. -The defense may try to claim that--
Why don't we hear what the defense has to say,
before you object to it.
-Proceed. -Thank you, Your Honor.
Your Honor, my client would like to make a statement.
Wouldn't you rather wait?
Up until this time, you apparently haven't gotten into any trouble.
Maybe the pre-sentencing report, testimony of neighbors,
fellow workers,
could help you reduce your sentence.
I would like to make a statement.
Proceed.
Your Honor, I killed Dr. Mason Gillett,
Jeannine Carrounbois
and Eric Malabar.
I killed them because they...
they would not help my son, they were too busy.
They didn't care.
I killed them to show the world that they must care.
I know...
What I did was a crime. No, worse than a crime, it was a sin against...
God.
Against...
God's law.
Pick up any children's Bible like the one I used to read to Stevie.
Remember... how I'd sit on his bed...
- and read from his children's Bible? - Mr. Fertig.
Because I wanted him to grow up to be a good man.
- A good man! - May the defendant please rise.
-Stevie, my son. -Please get up, Mr. Fertig!
And in his children's Bible, remember, Sarah,
there were pictures of God... - Mr. Fertig.
...making the heavens, parting the waters.
God, an old man, a wife...
with a white beard.
- Let's go, sir. - Make no images.
Remember, a Sabbath?
Honor by father and mother.
- Honor by mother. - Remove the defendant.
"Thou shall not commit adultery,
thou shall not steal,
thou shall not bear a false witness"!
Thou shall not commit...
Thou shall not kill.
Thou shall not kill!"
Forgive me, Sarah!
We will adjourn till two o'clock this afternoon for sentencing.
I don't know what to say.
You were magnificent!
You don't say he's crazy, you show he's crazy!
He pleads guilty but he's crazy.
It had me worried.
Now what we do is bring in our psychiatrist to testify.
It was quite a performance.
Congratulations.
Not hungry?
You want me to wrap it up, take it home?
I'm fine.
Followed by a shocking scene in court today, when Harry Fertig,
the former chief financial officer of Renoble Enterprises,
and the defendant in the Clement Hospital murders, of Dr. Mason Gillett,
Jeannine Carrounbois, the nurse and Eric Malabar, a clerk,
bowed down in court today, falling to his knees and sobbing
in front of his wife, as court...
Yes.
And the toxins seeped into the reservoir
so that Washington would mandate filtration.
He'd put eight billion dollars into his pocket initially
and then 500 million dollars a year...
to run the plant.
Why are you telling me this?
You just handed me the election.
Renoble belongs in jail.
Everything you need to prosecute is in here.
Is the defendant ready for sentencing?
- You Honor, I have a statement. - Proceed.
Thank you, Your Honor.
As you can tell from this morning's session,
my client is distraught with grief.
He loved his son.
It's clear.
He loved his son.
And he talked about his crime.
Crime is a matter of legality.
Something against the law.
Against... human law.
Get a good enough lawyer and you can escape punishment.
I've been a lawyer for a few years now...
invariably doing a case...
I end up teaching my client something about the law, small "l".
As a New York state law.
This case has been different, however,
in that, I had the opportunity to learn about the law from a client.
Law with a capital "L".
As God's law.
God's law.
The best lawyer in the world, who can't get you off,
plead you down.
Cut a deal.
Very often in our work, we satisfy the letter of the Law.
Man's law, but not the spirit of a law.
God's law.
This case provides us with the unique opportunity...
these two ideas to come together.
Isn't it odd...
that people who want to tell the truth during these proceedings
are often viewed as insane.
Usually when someone is arrested for murder,
the first thing we expect him to do is to deny it.
We plead insanity.
Anything, but the claimed responsibility would've tell the truth.
My client
wants to tell the truth.
He says I shot three people, Gillett, Carrounbois, Malabar,
I shot them willfully and deliberately.
I shot them because they killed through their neglect.
My client says...
that if you wanna hold the power of life and death in your hand,
if you choose to be a doctor or a nurse, if you choose that terrible obligation,
you must be responsible.
That's what my client believes.
That's why he killed them.
And he admits it, admits he killed them.
And the moment he says that,
the moment he tells the truth, everybody jumps back
and says, "Woah, he is crazy!"
He tells the truth, he must be crazy.
By pleading insanity, you claim you're crazy,
by telling the truth, you prove it.
-Objection. -Overruled.
Let me take this a step further.
Do I look crazy to you?
What if I would've tell you that I was hired to defend my client
in order to persuade him to plead insanity
so that any subsequent testimony he might give in the courtroom
- would be tainted-- - Objection, Your Honor!
By his insanity plead!
Overruled.
And what if I told you that if I succeeded and he pleaded insanity,
certain people would help me to advance my career
- to become D.A. - Objection!
Counsel...
approach to bench.
Your Honor, the defense counsel has already demonstrated
that one of the people at his table is insane.
Is he going for two out of three?
Counselor... you seemed to be headed down a...
an uncertain path.
Will it take you where you wanna go?
Yes, Your Honor.
Objection overruled.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Your Honor, this afternoon...
District Attorney, Elliot Cunningham
will file charges against Jack Renoble, Renoble Enterprises,
and Zarus group of Renoble subsidiary in State Supreme Court,
under article 71-2714 of the environmental conservation law,
"Endangering public health, safety or the environment in the first degree,
a criminal charge, a class-C felony,
that carries within a sentence of four-and-a-half to 15 years in prison."
My client Harry Fertig will be called upon to testify that case.
Something that certain people have gone to great lengths to prevent.
And because no matter how distraught my client has appeared, he is not insane,
his testimony will be valid.
My client knows the difference between right and wrong.
Understands the consequences of his acts
and is prepared to pay for his crimes.
As all of us should be prepared to pay for ours.
Thank you.
Please stand.
The court finds you to guilty of all charges.
And sentences you to 25 years to life.
This court is adjourned.
Thank you.
Bleakie!
I wanna talk to you! Hey!
- Schmuck. - Bleakie!
Do you plan to appeal?
Why didn't you cut the plea?
You all right?
Yeah.
Why did you do it?
It's the one thing I couldn't put behind me.
I'll see you.
