• 0:53
  Okay.
• 0:56
  God, there's so many words.
• 0:57
  Let me try to find one
• 0:59
  Where is
• 1:02
  Circumstantial
• 1:04
  I thought you were going to say Bobby Soxer
• 1:07
  Circumstantial
• 1:10
  Yeah
• 1:10
  That makes me think of evidence
• 1:13
  Yeah
• 1:17
  Makes me think of that too in the court system
• 1:19
  Just in general
• 1:20
  Well you are a lawyer
• 1:21
  What's your favorite legal thriller
• 1:23
  the fugitive is a really solid movie i don't know if that count as a legal thriller he's on the run
• 1:36
  he's trying to prove his innocence i'm not sure if i've actually seen that oh it's really good
• 1:41
  i've seen it a bunch actually but i remember seeing it in theaters when i was a kid
• 1:44
  um but that yeah that that one's really good i like that it's i don't know if that counts as a
• 1:51
  legal thriller, although he is on the run from the police trying to prove his innocence, so.
• 1:56
  Then I think it counts.
• 1:58
  He's a fugitive. Okay, well.
• 2:00
  Do you mean like courtroom?
• 2:01
  Kind of. That's what I was thinking. But your brain went to fugitive.
• 2:06
  Yeah.
• 2:08
  Let me tell you mine.
• 2:09
  Okay.
• 2:11
  It's called, I had to look it up because I wanted to make sure I got the title right.
• 2:14
  First of all, I love Rebecca DeMorne.
• 2:17
  And it's a Rebecca DeMorne movie called Guilty as Sin.
• 2:20
  came out in 1993
• 2:21
  and I'll read you the premise
• 2:23
  Chicago criminal defense attorney
• 2:26
  Jennifer Haynes takes on the high profile
• 2:28
  case of David Greenhill
• 2:29
  a charismatic playboy accused of murdering his
• 2:32
  wealthy wife for an inheritance
• 2:33
  as Jennifer represents him she realizes
• 2:36
  he's manipulative, dangerous, and genuinely
• 2:38
  guilty eventually finding herself trapped
• 2:40
  in his psychological web and fighting for her
• 2:42
  survival
• 2:42
  wow you ever seen it no you should We should watch it together Don Johnson the husband
• 2:57
  Rebecca DeMornay and Don Johnson.
• 2:59
  It's a power couple.
• 3:00
  Yeah.
• 3:03
  Guilty as sin.
• 3:05
  Yeah.
• 3:06
  How would you feel if you represented a client you knew was guilty?
• 3:09
  uh it would depend on what they did murdered their spouse oh
• 3:17
  do i think that's why defense lawyers are like don't i don't care if you did it or not like i'm
• 3:26
  not that's that's not the point i'm i'll just defend you like don't tell me anything like
• 3:31
  if it's like a gossiper i'd be like you know but i want to know did you do it okay yeah
• 3:39
  I probably would have a hard time with that.
• 3:43
  I would tell him to write it down on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope,
• 3:46
  and then I would read it after that.
• 3:48
  Yeah.
• 3:48
  I know.
• 3:49
  I would want to know.
• 3:51
  I would want to know.
• 4:05
  You're my lawyer.
• 4:06
  I mean, shouldn't I tell?
• 4:09
  shouldn't I tell you?
• 4:11
  Aren't you like the one person
• 4:12
  I'm allowed to tell?
• 4:15
  Okay.
• 4:16
  As your lawyer
• 4:17
  and representative of the law,
• 4:20
  it's just really important
• 4:21
  that you get an impartial,
• 4:23
  fair representation.
• 4:24
  Like it really should be
• 4:25
  about the legal defense,
• 4:26
  you know?
• 4:27
  And I think
• 4:27
  that they really don't like me
• 4:29
  knowing the true truth
• 4:31
  because
• 4:31
  it could color the way
• 4:34
  you get your defense.
• 4:35
  You know what I mean?
• 4:35
  So like, please just keep
• 4:36
  all the details of it to yourself.
• 4:37
  I'm going to represent you as though you were innocent
• 4:40
  because to my knowledge
• 4:41
  you are
• 4:43
  okay
• 4:44
  so
• 4:45
  on the night that
• 4:49
  all of those people were savagely butchered
• 4:52
  where were you?
• 4:58
  and you
• 4:59
  don't want me to tell you
• 5:02
  whether, okay
• 5:03
  I did it
• 5:04
  I was
• 5:07
  at the
• 5:09
  movies.
• 5:11
  Okay, you were at the
• 5:13
  the movies.
• 5:15
  Wink.
• 5:18
  Okay, well, don't do that.
• 5:20
  Do not do that.
• 5:23
  Because
• 5:23
  I'm deducing
• 5:25
  that that means you weren't really at the movies.
• 5:29
  So, let's start over.
• 5:30
  I need to know where you were
• 5:32
  the night that all the most beloved people in town were butchered Okay No um I went to Panera
• 5:45
  got soup and a bread bowl.
• 5:48
  You can probably write this down. Perfect.
• 5:50
  Panera, soup and a bread bowl.
• 5:53
  And then I
• 5:54
  ate the bowl.
• 5:57
  Wink.
• 6:00
  Uh,
• 6:00
  What do you mean?
• 6:05
  I mean, I got to the bottom of that broccoli cheddar,
• 6:09
  and I took that sourdough bowl,
• 6:14
  and I dissected it into little pieces,
• 6:19
  and then I ate the pieces bit by bit.
• 6:27
  Wink.
• 6:30
  I'm gonna write down
• 6:34
  does not recall.
• 6:39
  Good.
• 6:40
  Okay, Lawrence.
• 6:45
  Part of this court case is gonna be them
• 6:49
  establishing that you had a motive.
• 6:54
  But I think that's a long shot.
• 6:55
  So,
• 6:56
  you didn't know any of these people, right?
• 6:59
  and there's no reason that you would have wanted them dead.
• 7:03
  Of course not.
• 7:04
  Okay.
• 7:05
  Got to write that down.
• 7:05
  No connection to the dead.
• 7:08
  Why would I want Becky Glazer?
• 7:16
  Oh, and your name.
• 7:18
  Who won Homecoming Queen at my high school.
• 7:24
  Was that published?
• 7:26
  And who...
• 7:27
  Wait, you went to high school together?
• 7:29
  Uh-huh.
• 7:30
  Oh, okay.
• 7:31
  And...
• 7:31
  That's random chances.
• 7:32
  That's okay.
• 7:33
  Just happened to be the person that I asked to homecoming myself.
• 7:38
  Oh, you went to homecoming together?
• 7:40
  Okay.
• 7:40
  No, she turned me down.
• 7:42
  That will not help.
• 7:43
  In front of the whole cafeteria.
• 7:46
  She laughed and left that I even asked.
• 7:50
  And then...
• 7:52
  I got over it.
• 7:56
  Wink.
• 7:57
  Yeah, um...
• 7:58
  Okay, um, well, you graduated 20 years ago, so it shouldn't be a stretch for the jury to believe that you moved on.
• 8:09
  Um, I hate to even ask this.
• 8:14
  All the other victims.
• 8:18
  Mayor Timmons.
• 8:19
  Yeah.
• 8:22
  Mayor Timmons.
• 8:24
  Certainly I have no reason to hate him It was just under his leadership that my property taxes went up
• 8:36
  And as a result, I couldn't pay the excess amount of property taxes that I lost my house.
• 8:43
  I'm thinking we don't...
• 8:44
  I'm not mad about that at all.
• 8:46
  I like renting a studio apartment.
• 8:49
  Wink.
• 8:50
  No, no, no.
• 8:51
  I'm thinking we don't even mention...
• 8:53
  The property taxes.
• 8:55
  Here's the situation.
• 8:56
  If they don't buy this, you're getting gassed.
• 9:00
  Now, I'm as impartial as the day is long.
• 9:04
  So it's just important to me that we mount out strong legal defense.
• 9:08
  So you knew one or two of the 10 victims.
• 9:11
  That's a coincidence.
• 9:13
  That's chance.
• 9:14
  I can work with that.
• 9:15
  I just need to know that when you get on the stand,
• 9:19
  you aren't going to say anything incriminating.
• 9:22
  because if you are, I need to talk about it now.
• 9:26
  You want to know?
• 9:28
  That's not what I said.
• 9:30
  Okay.
• 9:30
  What I need in a witness.
• 9:33
  Are you going to say you're guilty or not guilty?
• 9:35
  Because at that, I do need to know.
• 9:39
  I'm going to get up on the stand.
• 9:42
  They ask me.
• 9:44
  Go ahead.
• 9:45
  Ask me.
• 9:46
  Okay.
• 9:47
  in the case of the beloved towns full of people
• 9:53
  and their children who were murdered,
• 9:54
  how do you plea?
• 9:58
  Guilty.
• 10:00
  Wink.
• 10:04
  That's interesting.
• 10:08
  Also, it upends what I thought was going on.
• 10:10
  Okay.
• 10:15
  Let's pivot.
• 10:17
  So maybe we mount a temporary insanity defense.
• 10:21
  I'm not saying you did it.
• 10:22
  I'm definitely not saying you did it.
• 10:25
  But it could be your strongest chance to avoid a prosecution.
• 10:31
  Whatever you think.
• 10:33
  You're my lawyer.
• 10:35
  Yes, I'm your lawyer.
• 10:38
  What are you holding?
• 10:42
  Nothing.
• 10:43
  What is that?
• 10:44
  Is that the murder weapon?
• 10:47
  They've been looking for that.
• 10:49
  Oh.
• 10:50
  How did this get here?
• 10:52
  Okay, so you had no idea.
• 10:53
  You just found it, right?
• 10:55
  Tell me you just found it.
• 10:57
  Yeah, I just found it in my hand where it's been.
• 11:02
  The last three months.
• 11:04
  Been holding on to it.
• 11:08
  No wink?
• 11:11
  No wink.
• 11:13
  Oh my god, he did it.
• 11:15
  Scene.
• 11:17
  Thank you.
