Harry's Law (2011) s02e01 Episode Script
Hosanna Roseanna
Morning, Harry.
Harry, hey.
Morning, Harry.
Hey, Harry.
Hi, Harry.
Morning, Harry.
Our new beginning.
- How do you feel? - Like crap.
Do I push a button here, or does it just read my mind? - Button.
- Stupid iPad's got me thinking all machines are intuitive.
Well, I'll be up and down as needed.
And Malcolm can come help you after school if you want him to.
I want him to study.
Hey, Harry, isn't it fantastic? It's an office.
Who are these people? Well, it's our staff.
You should probably say hello.
Hello.
I expect you to work your asses off so I can hang on to mine.
- Which one gets coffee? - Harry, I just have to say All made in the kitchen.
opening up a shingle with Harry A.
Korn Whoa.
You do not work with me.
We share an office space.
Our practices are, and always will be, separate.
Me, you.
Me, you.
Hey, Harry.
Cassie Reynolds.
It's a pleasure to be here.
Yeah.
Two things.
You ever have a problem, keep it to yourself.
You got a personal life, get rid of it.
I own you now.
Find something for her to do.
Hey, Harry.
- Ollie Richard.
- Housewarming.
- Got a minute? - Ollie runs litigation at the firm that kicked me to the curb.
- Not my choice.
- Did you fight it? - Did you? - What do you want, Ollie? I represent Eric Sanders.
Bring it here.
And as of now, so do you.
We can get an office at the old firm, or set up a new - command center here.
- Did you say Eric Sanders? The guy who killed his wife? Adam Branch.
Hello.
Yeah.
Trial starts next week.
We should probably go.
You can drink that later, - or on the way.
- What, are you on drugs? I'm not going back to that office, and I don't want your lousy case.
- Yes, you do.
- No, I don't.
- Yes, you do.
- No, I Ollie has a talent for telling people what they really want.
You need something, Tommy? Harry, the Eric Sanders trial is a defense attorney's wet dream.
I can win that trial.
It's tailor-made for Tommy Jefferson.
Yeah, what did we say about wet dreaming in the common areas? Beat it! Probably not the best choice of words.
Seriously, Harry, I could use your help.
- The evidence against him is not good.
- Uh-huh.
Exactly how not good? He was at the scene, a neighbor heard her screaming from the bathroom, he was discovered with the body.
Is there more? Supposedly there's a journal entry where he talks about killing his wife.
Oh, boy, you people are something.
What, now that I made it back, you want to knock me back down by turfing your high-profile, slam-dunk loser? - That isn't it.
- Yes, it is.
- No, it isn't.
- Yes, it is.
Harry, bring it here.
You and I go way back.
- Don't we? - Ollie, if you're about to charm the pants off me, I promise you, it won't be pretty.
I need you.
There, I said it.
I could get anybody to take this case.
The reason I've come to you you're the only one I know who can win it.
And that's the truth.
When all else fails, play the ego card.
Pathetic.
Harry's Law 2x01 - Hosanna Roseanna Original air date September 21, 2011 I am not happy, I tell you, not happy.
The biggest murder trial to come to Cincinnati in a long time, and it doesn't come to me.
- It came to this office.
- Not the same.
How could they want Harry? Not that she's not good, but I am so much better.
Am I not better? I'm better, right? You are, and everything happens for a reason, Tommy.
In this case, something bigger awaits.
What could be bigger than a rich guy whacking his wife? It's got sex, love, money, and a long trial, which means the money comes to me.
- The evil empire.
- Yankees? - Mm-mm.
- Disney? - Uh-uh.
- Starbucks? Tommy, the evil empire.
- You mean? - I do.
They're taking over almost two blocks to build one of their megastores.
Residents are suing.
They have local counsel, but they don't have a local litigator, which they are shopping for now.
They're interviewing the city's top trial lawyers, and they're specifically looking for somebody who personifies Cincinnati.
There's nobody more Cincinnati than me.
Johnny Bench, Jerry Springer, Pete Rose, me.
- Get me on that short list.
- I'll see what I can do.
Don't see, do.
Do, do, do.
The evil empire and me.
I like it.
Bennett Fenwick? Uh, he's a walk-up, some artist.
Tommy, Bennett Fenwick wasn't he yours? Yeah, I hate art overrated and doesn't pay.
- What about him? - Do we know what he wants? He's an artist.
Probably some spray paint and a wall.
- Do we care? - They'll see you at 11:00.
- Who? - McKinley, Manning & Bock.
That's the local firm.
You have an interview at 11:00.
Really? That was fast.
That's my middle name, Tommy.
Fast.
I don't understand.
The trial starts next week, Ollie.
How do you bring in someone new? - Please explain that to me.
- Okay.
Eric, you're an extremely unlikable defendant charged with a despicable crime, and we have no defense.
I've recruited Harry so I could package my murderous unlikable client with an adorable old lady who can sell ice to an eskimo.
- Helpful? - Are you any good? How about I go first? You bash your wife's head in? Suppose I did kill my wife, and I had some wonderful fabrication that would absolve me of it? If you knew it was untrue, legal ethics would prevent you from letting me tell it.
Actually, I'm okay with lies, provided they're really good ones.
Did you kill her? Well, this is really going to disappoint you, Harry, but no.
I didn't.
I don't like her.
Bet you didn't want to hear me say I'm innocent, did you? Because a conviction would only prove you failed.
An innocent man in prison for the rest of his life because of your incompetence.
Imagine having to live with that.
I wouldn't.
You would.
I really dislike her, Ollie.
This cannot be overstated.
It's too bad, Eric, because right now, you're in the toilet, and she's your only way out.
- If I agree to do this - Great! - I didn't say yes.
- Yes, you did.
- No, I didn't.
- Yes, you did.
Oliver! If I'm on this case, I am first chair.
We do things my way.
We clear on that? Fine.
And I get final say on strategy.
No way.
Shouldn't that go to me? No.
Since you're sitting in a jail cell, I'll assume you screw things up.
I'm in charge.
We all agree? Dying to know.
What made you say yes? I was married to two pricks.
The one thing they can't do is lie convincingly.
Your boy is telling the truth.
I'll defend him.
Be in touch.
Ok.
We've got a lot to cover in a very short period of time.
Adam, you can start by tracking down Vinnie Delgato.
- Oh, we've already got a P.
I.
- Not like Vinnie, you don't.
Cassie, I want you to review all the pretrial proceedings, see if there's any grounds for appeal.
Since you're an ex-D.
A.
, you can also serve as our liaison with the prosecutor.
Who is that, anyway? Uh, Roseanna Remmick.
Okay - Did you say Roseanna Remmick? - Great.
- Hosanna Roseanna? - You expect me to be ready to butt heads with the district attorney in a week? - Harry, Bennett Fenwick.
- What? That's the case Tommy fobbed on me, - which I then fobbed to Cassie.
- Harry, we should get going.
Still need to file your appearance.
I'm sure Roseanna can't wait to meet you.
She's known for cherry-picking dead bang winners.
- Did you know this? - I did, actually.
Just be yourself.
You'll be fine.
People never like me when I'm myself.
People like ties.
How's my tie? Brilliant.
It's your lucky blue.
And who are we today? Tommy Big-Boy.
I'm Tommy Big-Boy.
Hold that elevator.
I'm meeting with evil-doers.
The the name of the painting is "The Girl In The Red Coat".
Okay, that's the actual name of it.
And when was the painting sold? Four years ago, and then a friend of mine just happened to go to the buyer's house, some party a few weeks ago, and there it was, hanging on the living room wall.
And? The coat was blue.
They've painted it blue.
- Uh - You can't do that.
There are intellectual property rights that belong to the artist.
Can't just materially alter a painting like that.
- And how much was the painting sold for? - $7,200.
I have all the records here, and I want the painting back.
Okay.
Let me look into it a bit.
My sense is, you have no right to rescind the sale.
You're limited to money damages.
That's gonna be difficult for us to establish.
My reputation is being damaged, and it represents my work.
I understand.
Let me look into it.
What the hell is this? This would be the circus in which we're gonna take center ring.
And all these people here are really gathered for us? No, they just want a looky-look at the new kid, which is you.
This is Hosanna Roseanna right there.
Are we contesting this? Trust me.
Contest everything.
Everybody out.
All rise.
Case number 42765, the State of Ohio v.
Eric Sanders the Third, on the charge of first degree murder.
Okay, I'm informed we're just filing an attorney appearance.
Mr.
Richard, does that mean that your firm is withdrawing - as counsel? - No, Your Honor.
Ms.
Korn is simply signing on as co-counsel.
Which is obviously a tactic designed to delay the trial, Your Honor.
Mr.
Richard is a competent, experienced, criminal practitioner.
- Why would he want someone who sells shoes? - High-end shoes.
Ms.
Korn, you will be deemed up to speed.
I am not setting the clock back.
Now, if there are any remaining pretrial motions to be filed, they must be done so by 5:00 PM on Thursday.
Voir dire will commence next Tuesday.
We're adjourned.
What the? No, just ignore them; they don't really exist.
Here comes our girl.
Shame on you, bringing in the lovable grandmother! Oh, she just fakes lovable.
How are we, dear? Roseanna Remmick.
It is such a pleasure to meet you.
I've actually heard so much about you.
Really? Like what? Well, mainly just the extraordinary comeback.
I I love comebacks.
I have such a soft spot for the underdog.
Have you heard much about me, Harry? Just that you're sweet.
So, Ollie chose to throw you to the wolves, did he? - No, just the one.
- Oh, I hope you warned your little friend not to fool with me.
I can never keep it straight, is it "fiddled" or "fooled"? 'Cause we fiddled once, and you seemed to enjoy it.
I'm guessing it's "fooled.
" Don't fool with her.
Oh.
So you know her soft spot.
- I do.
- You're disgusting and vulgar.
- Which is it? Make up your mind.
- Look, Mrs.
Remmick, I don't actually go for all the macho baiting that men so love to do.
We can be worthy adversaries in court but civil to each other otherwise.
What a lovely thought.
I'll bet you make for a wonderful grandmother! Okay, I want to kill her.
- Mr.
Rabinowitz.
- Yes.
This way, please.
I'm sorry.
Tommy Jefferson.
I had an appointment at 11:00.
Yes, we're running a little behind, Mr.
Jefferson.
We'll be with you shortly.
He's coming in? With his lawyer, who didn't seem receptive.
Be back at 6:00.
- Well, this is a good sign right? - Not really.
I would have filed papers had they not talked, and that would have cost them money.
In the meantime, think of a number that fixes this for you.
Oh, i it's not about the money.
- I want the painting back.
- I'm not sure - that that's on the table.
- Yeah, well, they have to.
I spent the last three years of my life on this.
I need to get it back.
We have an evidence room which will basically be dedicated to this trial.
You can set up shop here, if you want.
Did you say yours was being painted, anyway? Fumigated.
Who's the handling P.
I.
? A guy by the name of Frank Leahy.
- You know him? - Frank Leahy.
Hey, you got food here? Because, like, I do my best work when there's food.
You get food when you get results.
How you doing, Benny? Um, I'd hug you, but you smell.
Eh, good to see you, Harry.
Harry, we got copies of Eric Sanders' journal.
It's not good.
"How joyous it would be to creep up from behind" "while she lay lapping" "in her suds of luxury" "and smash her head like a melon.
" Great.
Keep reading.
"To feel the joy, the freedom" "that can only come from the sound of crushing," "mulching bone that used to be her skull.
" Plagiarized.
I think that was Dickens.
Start drafting a motion to suppress.
The jury cannot I repeat, cannot get wind of this.
Damn it! - Look, you knew what was in the journal.
- Actually, I didn't.
This on top of the evidence? Eric, this case simply cannot be won.
No, don't say that.
Trials can always be won.
O.
J.
got off.
Casey Anthony got off.
Guilty people are acquitted all the time.
And I happen to be innocent.
Don't say you can't win this! He's a bit of a table banger.
Now, why don't you just tell her? Isn't the idea to bring her up to speed? Just tell her! Eric, the only thing I'm gonna tell her is to back off if you don't stop yelling.
You hear me? In order for her to do her job, she needs to know you that's why you're gonna tell it.
Nicely.
I was framed.
There are countless people who hated my wife, who had access to my home and my journals.
Somebody read the entries and the perfect plot was hatched.
That's what happened.
And the journal? Fantasies about spousicide are not uncommon.
Wanting to kill her it brought me relief, okay? Relief? From what? I I don't know.
A tyranny you cannot imagine.
But also not just her dying, but doing it at my hands.
- That was - If you were that unhappy, why didn't you just leave her? I have children.
They came first.
And if I couldn't divorce her because of the sake of the kids, I hardly think I'd kill her.
You'd just write about it in graphic detail.
Oh, trust me, I would have loved to have divorced her.
And even bashed in her skull, for that matter.
But my kids came first so I ate the pain.
That's what I did.
I ate it.
For 30 years I ate it.
I have to tell you, Eric what I'm observing right now you seem like a nut-job.
Which also doesn't improve our chances.
I want my painting back.
Mr.
Fenwick, you conveyed the artwork to my client for a considerable sum of money.
The painting's entitled "The Girl In The Red Coat".
He's painted it blue.
It belongs to him.
Well, it isn't quite that simple.
There are some intellectual - property rights in play.
- Oh, come on.
You suggesting if he bought a Picasso - he'd be free to change it? - Are you suggesting he's Picasso? Whether he is or not, every artist has a moral right to their work.
Subsequent purchasers are not free to disfigure it.
He didn't disfigure it if anything, - he improved it.
- How dare you! - Bennett.
- I would like to apologize for my attorney's remark.
I certainly did not improve it.
I really, I'm I'm very sorry for all this, Mr.
Fenwick.
May I ask why you did it? My wife's primary interest in the painting was as a focal point for our living room.
She particularly liked how the colors complemented the drapes, the oriental rugs.
And then, well, the inexplicable happened.
What? She changed the drapes.
I want to see it.
I want to see the blue coat.
Okay.
Looks very nice.
You changed her hair.
Yes.
My wife thought that blonde would work I am terribly sorry, Mr.
Jefferson, but since we're running over, we won't be taking any more appointments today.
I do apologize for the inconvenience.
Are you kidding me? I waited yesterday for three hours, - another two today.
- We told your assistant that since you were scheduled so last-minute, we may not - be able to accommodate you.
- Are you kidding me? I'm really sorry.
Let me tell you something.
You do not keep somebody waiting two days - and then not see him.
- I'm really sorry.
You give a little message to your boss you tell him he kept Tommy Jefferson waiting, tell him he angered Tommy Jefferson, and make sure he knows who I am.
We know who you are, Mr.
Jefferson.
Do you? I don't think you do.
I'm Ryan v.
Exxon $16 million, I'm Emerson v.
Matlow, $11 million.
I'm Tommy "Big-Boy" Jefferson.
That's who I am, that's who I am.
You do your damn research.
You'll be coming to me, I promise you.
Tommy Jefferson.
Hey.
Hi.
So who is she? Bennett, who's the blonde in blue who used to be a brunette in red? She's my daughter.
I sold the painting because we needed the money and I always thought I could paint another one.
And then four months later she and my wife were killed in an automobile accident.
That was three years ago.
I haven't been able to paint a thing since.
I appreciate you seeing me.
Oh, no problem at all.
What can I do to help? Well May I sit? Of course.
Excuse me.
Where are my manners? I have a motion I'm about to file in court.
It seeks to suppress portions of my client's journal on the grounds of prejudice.
Specifically, the section where he writes about killing his wife.
I was hoping to perhaps secure your cooperation.
You must be joking.
You have a pile of evidence here.
Why introduce the journal, when a), you probably don't need it, and b), by doing so, you run the very real risk of guaranteeing me an appeal? It's a bombshell that obliterates any hope - of a future trial.
- It's probative of the crime.
- No, it isn't really, since - Okay, you know what? You know, you must have another agenda here.
You couldn't possibly have wasted so much of your time and your energy on something so frivolous, unless you're a dope.
Are you a dope, Harry? You didn't strike me as a dope.
No, I'm a pretty good judge of character.
You just didn't strike me as a dope.
Yet here you are, asking me what a thing.
You have a strong case.
You might jeopardize it by being overzealous.
Prosecutors do that all the time.
I'll be opposing your motion.
You might want to take that outside.
I'm rather busy.
This is Harry Korn.
Excuse me? What's going on? He had some sort of breakdown, I'm told.
The doctor's with him right now.
This is Bethany Sanders, Eric's daughter.
- Bethany, this is Harry Korn.
- Hello.
Hello.
I'm sorry to meet you under these circumstances.
I've met lawyers under worse.
I imagine you have.
Really? I doubt that.
She has a lot of anger, as you might have detected.
Have we interviewed this girl? As best we can.
She's a little hostile.
She feels sympathetic, but Bethany, Mr.
Richard explained that I'll be taking over the defense? Yeah.
Congratulations on that.
I take it you think your father is guilty.
- Mr.
Richard.
- Yes.
Okay, so I gave him a sedative and he's resting comfortably.
We're going to let you see him for about a minute or two and obviously, I don't want him agitated.
What happened, doctor? Basically, an extremely acute anxiety attack.
He's had lesser ones while in here, this one was on the grand mal level.
He's okay, but he really needs to rest.
Hey, Eric, you doing okay? You think you could get them to take off the shackles? Hi, sweetheart.
Hi, dad.
Listen, Eric, the doctor says we have to leave.
You need to get some rest.
In a couple of hours, I'm going to go into court and try to get bail, okay? We're going to try to get you out of here.
We're going to give you a moment with your daughter.
What are you thinking? You're not going to get bail.
Ollie, he's cracking up, can't you see that? It doesn't matter, he's a first degree murder suspect.
With no record, and he's not a flight risk.
You're being ridiculous.
This is Hosanna Roseanna.
We get him acquitted, she's not gonna let him go.
Oliver, if he can't contribute to his defense, possibly even testify You're never going to get bail.
Maybe not, but at least we have to try.
Otherwise, I promise you we're dead.
I really want to thank you for coming in.
Bethany, we need to get your dad out of lock-up.
You're the only one of his children who might entertain the idea of supporting him.
- You actually believe he could be innocent? - I don't know.
I think it's possible somebody read that journal and framed him.
Here's what I fear might not be possible a fair trial.
Your father is becoming mentally unhinged.
If his stability erodes any further, I couldn't possibly allow for him to testify or Bethany, I'm not asking you to believe in his innocence, just the idea of it.
If I could get you to just show up at this bail hearing.
If the judge could see one of his kids there, somebody who doesn't think of him as a monster.
We need to get him out of that jail cell.
How'd it go? Sorry? With the super giant? Oh.
They want me to maybe take the case.
Not sure it's something I really want to do.
It'll be a long, protracted mess.
Oops.
Sorry.
New office.
Still working out the bugs.
All rise.
- Be ready.
She's gonna come right at you.
- I'm ready for her, - don't worry.
- This court is now in session.
The Honorable Judge Lucas Kirkland presiding.
Be seated.
All right, we have two motions from the defense.
Ms.
Korn, let's hear from you.
Thank you, Your Honor.
We would first move to suppress certain portions of my client's journal on the grounds that this material, which Your Honor has seen in an in-camera inspection, would be highly inflammatory, prejudicial, and In other words, it proves guilt.
It does not prove his guilt, and point of procedure, I like to finish my own sentences.
This material represents my client's fantasies, nothing more It might also represent the exact blueprint for the manner in which he bludgeoned her.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That was your sentence, and I finished it again.
My bad.
My client's journal also spoke of wanting to fly, to be a bird.
Does that mean But he didn't fly, he did bludgeon, however.
According to you, but of course you would think that, because you're prejudiced by the journal, - add to that, you're a bitch.
- All right, that's enough.
If the day has come when the government tries to convict somebody for his private thoughts then what the hell is next? It's a diary, a place where people surrender to flights of fancy, freely, with an expectation of privacy.
He left it out in the open.
- There was no expectation - On his nightstand, in his bedroom.
Ms.
Korn, this issue was argued before by Mr.
Richard.
My position was and remains that the probative value of the journal exceeds the prejudicial limit.
Your motion is denied.
Let's move on.
Next I would ask that Your Honor afford my client bail.
Which is preposterous on its face.
Not my face, unless, of course, I do this.
You having fun? No, I'm pissed.
This is supposed to be fair.
It won't be if my client can't contribute to his defense.
He's been held in isolation for almost a year Yeah, we hold murderers now.
Eric Sanders has to be given a shot at a fair trial.
His continued confinement is wreaking psychological havoc on him.
This morning, he had an acute anxiety attack and was hospitalized.
If he deteriorates any further, my next motion will be that he's mentally incompetent - and unable to stand trial at all - He beat a woman to death.
And if you can prove that, lady, you get to lock him up, but we don't incarcerate pre-trial unless there's a risk of flight or public safety, and here there's neither.
The idea that this is a fair process is ridiculous.
The prosecution has the resources of the entire state of Ohio.
The District Attorney herself is personally leading the charge.
My client has to arm himself with only his lawyer and his wits, and if he's held in jail any longer, he won't even have the latter! All right.
$10 million bond, $2 million cash.
Settle down.
The defendant will surrender his passport and be outfitted with an ankle bracelet, pending release.
Our business is finished here.
I will see you all on Tuesday, bright and early, ready for trial.
We're adjourned.
I have to admit, I didn't expect that.
Well done.
This woman is a problem.
I want her removed.
Is it even ethical for you to be here? No, but since I'm not making any legal arguments - Does that make it okay? - No.
Mr.
Preston, you strike me as a compassionate man.
So I guess I would be appealing to that compassion as well as your sense of integrity, I suppose, and I'd like you to give the painting back.
Just give it back? He needs it.
I'm not sure you do.
It's really his daughter? It's kind of a dirty trick, don't you think? Playing on a person's sympathies? I'm a lawyer.
We don't shame.
All right, I tell you what.
I'll agree to return the painting.
And you agree to have dinner with me.
I don't think that would be a good idea.
I'm not looking to cheat on my wife.
No, I just when you meet someone who's intelligent, interesting, you just, uh, well, you hate the idea of her walking out of your life.
Dinner as friends.
I really am a man of integrity.
I believe that.
Which is why I'm asking you to return the painting.
And understand my declining to have dinner with you.
Hey, what's up? Warren, today could be your lucky day.
You have so longed for the chance to go spelunking up my ass with kisses.
Tonight, you get your wish.
Federal case in New York.
A man named Julian Heicklen was indicted for the advocacy of jury nullification as a violation of the law against jury tampering.
And? And Harry Korn has made her mark as a criminal defense attorney systemically doing just that.
I want her indicted.
Please do so ASAP.
Is there a problem? Well, that just seems like a ploy to discredit her.
Oh, does it seem like that, really? I don't like to hear that.
You know, Warren, I think you're just having trouble locating your motivation.
File the charges or you're fired.
More better? Shot of the crime scene from outside the bedroom, and now this is the scene of the crime inside right here, and this What, what was that? Relatives sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces.
We've already checked 'em out, Vin, none of 'em are killers.
Who checked them out Frank Leahy? - We don't have time to go backwards.
- Hey, I'm going forward, slick.
- Take it outside? - All right.
Harry, Eric Sanders is here.
Okay, put him in my office.
Go ahead, start interviewing them, see what you can come up with.
So I don't even have to refund the money? Here's the deal, Mr.
Fenwick, you resume painting and your career, and when you begin earning money, we can talk about you refunding the funds, but part of the deal is you have to resume painting.
I really am so sorry for all this.
I I hope you can restore the painting to its original form.
I really don't know how to thank you.
Well, you can thank your attorney.
She's impressive.
Well, I'll thank both of you.
More than I can Would you mind if I left before embarrassing myself? That'd be fine.
And, uh thank you! I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable earlier.
I was inappropriate, and, uh how do I put this? - Um - You're still trying to get that dinner.
But I'm flattered and grateful.
Well, life is all in the timing, they say, right? It was a pleasure to meet you.
You, too.
All right, um we need to talk about that night.
I've read all the reports, including Oliver's, but I need to hear this directly from you, Eric.
What exactly happened? Well, um we had gotten into an argument, which was not uncommon.
What time was this? It started after dinner, around 8:00, and pretty much continued until I went to bed.
Around 10:00.
Uh, I'd taken a sleeping pill, which was also not uncommon after one of these arguments.
I well, we had separate bedrooms.
There's a shocker, huh? I went to bed.
Uh, I heard something, at some point.
Um, I got up.
I went into her bedroom, and she wasn't there.
I I went into her bathroom and she was, uh lying in the bathtub.
Blood everywhere.
And then what? I I remember trying to revive her.
Which, um then see I I was in a bit of shock.
Plus I was disoriented, you know, I the sleeping pills you, you see, that's that's the problem.
I I was so disoriented.
Did you call 911? Well, before I had the chance, the police were suddenly there.
Evidently, a neighbor had called it in.
I didn't kill her, Harry.
I certainly know how this looks.
But I didn't do it.
Ollie, thanks for dropping by.
Have a seat.
I'm just finishing up here.
Well, your little friend seems very good.
I'd like you to remove her from the proceeding, please.
Excuse me? She pisses me off, Ollie.
What especially pisses me off is the way she gets jurors to ignore evidence.
It's unacceptable.
Are you serious? I like you, Ollie.
I remember that night we spent together.
Actually, I don't.
Remove your friend, please.
Okay, let me rephrase this.
Are you out of your mind? Know what I think? I think she's not your friend at all.
How do I know this? You threw her in my path.
A person doesn't do that to a friend.
I will win this trial.
Remove Harry Korn for her own good.
You're insane.
I'm not about to remove her.
Well, don't say you weren't warned.
What's the matter? What? Nothing.
How's the case coming? Oh, truth be told, I'm having a little buyer's remorse.
What, are you kidding? It's the biggest trial in Cincinnati.
It's the talk of the town, and you're smack dab in the middle of it.
What's wrong, Tommy? It's a terrible feeling to wake up knowing you're not what you used to be.
I keep thinking I'll get it back, you know.
Then I realize You know, one of the reasons I wanted to open up an office with you? I thought perhaps some of your luster would I never get real corporate clients.
Or blue chip.
I I I thought you know, maybe.
You've been pretty damn successful, Tommy.
I mean, look at the walls here.
Hobbed-nobbed with presidents, for God's sake.
Yeah.
Make a big enough donation.
I don't know what's worse.
To wake up feeling like not what you used to be, or rather knowing you're still what you always were.
I'm not going to listen to this nonsense.
- Harry, you need to come out here.
- Harry Korn? - Or not.
- What's going on? Please stand and put your hands behind your back, please.
- What? - What the hell's going on here? You're under arrest for jury tampering, ma'am.
- Please stand, put your - What? Jury tampering? hands behind your back.
- You have the right to remain silent.
- You out of your minds? - Shut your mouth! - I'm Tommy Jefferson.
I'm all mouth.
Get your hands off me.
- Harry, don't talk.
- I'll talk all I want! Give me my gun! - Hey, get your hands off her! - Shut up! I want the names and badge numbers of every one of you.
- Give me a second with her.
- Back off, or I'll arrest you next.
You listen to me, punk.
I heat my pool suing cops.
Give us the second.
Now.
Just do not talk, Harry.
- This is all her.
- Who? Hosanna.
Who else? She's trying to discredit me - with the judge and jury.
Call Ollie.
- For now, say nothing.
- I will meet you at the station.
- Me, too.
Yeah, but in the meantime, you deliver a message to Ms.
Remmick.
Harry, be quiet!
Harry, hey.
Morning, Harry.
Hey, Harry.
Hi, Harry.
Morning, Harry.
Our new beginning.
- How do you feel? - Like crap.
Do I push a button here, or does it just read my mind? - Button.
- Stupid iPad's got me thinking all machines are intuitive.
Well, I'll be up and down as needed.
And Malcolm can come help you after school if you want him to.
I want him to study.
Hey, Harry, isn't it fantastic? It's an office.
Who are these people? Well, it's our staff.
You should probably say hello.
Hello.
I expect you to work your asses off so I can hang on to mine.
- Which one gets coffee? - Harry, I just have to say All made in the kitchen.
opening up a shingle with Harry A.
Korn Whoa.
You do not work with me.
We share an office space.
Our practices are, and always will be, separate.
Me, you.
Me, you.
Hey, Harry.
Cassie Reynolds.
It's a pleasure to be here.
Yeah.
Two things.
You ever have a problem, keep it to yourself.
You got a personal life, get rid of it.
I own you now.
Find something for her to do.
Hey, Harry.
- Ollie Richard.
- Housewarming.
- Got a minute? - Ollie runs litigation at the firm that kicked me to the curb.
- Not my choice.
- Did you fight it? - Did you? - What do you want, Ollie? I represent Eric Sanders.
Bring it here.
And as of now, so do you.
We can get an office at the old firm, or set up a new - command center here.
- Did you say Eric Sanders? The guy who killed his wife? Adam Branch.
Hello.
Yeah.
Trial starts next week.
We should probably go.
You can drink that later, - or on the way.
- What, are you on drugs? I'm not going back to that office, and I don't want your lousy case.
- Yes, you do.
- No, I don't.
- Yes, you do.
- No, I Ollie has a talent for telling people what they really want.
You need something, Tommy? Harry, the Eric Sanders trial is a defense attorney's wet dream.
I can win that trial.
It's tailor-made for Tommy Jefferson.
Yeah, what did we say about wet dreaming in the common areas? Beat it! Probably not the best choice of words.
Seriously, Harry, I could use your help.
- The evidence against him is not good.
- Uh-huh.
Exactly how not good? He was at the scene, a neighbor heard her screaming from the bathroom, he was discovered with the body.
Is there more? Supposedly there's a journal entry where he talks about killing his wife.
Oh, boy, you people are something.
What, now that I made it back, you want to knock me back down by turfing your high-profile, slam-dunk loser? - That isn't it.
- Yes, it is.
- No, it isn't.
- Yes, it is.
Harry, bring it here.
You and I go way back.
- Don't we? - Ollie, if you're about to charm the pants off me, I promise you, it won't be pretty.
I need you.
There, I said it.
I could get anybody to take this case.
The reason I've come to you you're the only one I know who can win it.
And that's the truth.
When all else fails, play the ego card.
Pathetic.
Harry's Law 2x01 - Hosanna Roseanna Original air date September 21, 2011 I am not happy, I tell you, not happy.
The biggest murder trial to come to Cincinnati in a long time, and it doesn't come to me.
- It came to this office.
- Not the same.
How could they want Harry? Not that she's not good, but I am so much better.
Am I not better? I'm better, right? You are, and everything happens for a reason, Tommy.
In this case, something bigger awaits.
What could be bigger than a rich guy whacking his wife? It's got sex, love, money, and a long trial, which means the money comes to me.
- The evil empire.
- Yankees? - Mm-mm.
- Disney? - Uh-uh.
- Starbucks? Tommy, the evil empire.
- You mean? - I do.
They're taking over almost two blocks to build one of their megastores.
Residents are suing.
They have local counsel, but they don't have a local litigator, which they are shopping for now.
They're interviewing the city's top trial lawyers, and they're specifically looking for somebody who personifies Cincinnati.
There's nobody more Cincinnati than me.
Johnny Bench, Jerry Springer, Pete Rose, me.
- Get me on that short list.
- I'll see what I can do.
Don't see, do.
Do, do, do.
The evil empire and me.
I like it.
Bennett Fenwick? Uh, he's a walk-up, some artist.
Tommy, Bennett Fenwick wasn't he yours? Yeah, I hate art overrated and doesn't pay.
- What about him? - Do we know what he wants? He's an artist.
Probably some spray paint and a wall.
- Do we care? - They'll see you at 11:00.
- Who? - McKinley, Manning & Bock.
That's the local firm.
You have an interview at 11:00.
Really? That was fast.
That's my middle name, Tommy.
Fast.
I don't understand.
The trial starts next week, Ollie.
How do you bring in someone new? - Please explain that to me.
- Okay.
Eric, you're an extremely unlikable defendant charged with a despicable crime, and we have no defense.
I've recruited Harry so I could package my murderous unlikable client with an adorable old lady who can sell ice to an eskimo.
- Helpful? - Are you any good? How about I go first? You bash your wife's head in? Suppose I did kill my wife, and I had some wonderful fabrication that would absolve me of it? If you knew it was untrue, legal ethics would prevent you from letting me tell it.
Actually, I'm okay with lies, provided they're really good ones.
Did you kill her? Well, this is really going to disappoint you, Harry, but no.
I didn't.
I don't like her.
Bet you didn't want to hear me say I'm innocent, did you? Because a conviction would only prove you failed.
An innocent man in prison for the rest of his life because of your incompetence.
Imagine having to live with that.
I wouldn't.
You would.
I really dislike her, Ollie.
This cannot be overstated.
It's too bad, Eric, because right now, you're in the toilet, and she's your only way out.
- If I agree to do this - Great! - I didn't say yes.
- Yes, you did.
- No, I didn't.
- Yes, you did.
Oliver! If I'm on this case, I am first chair.
We do things my way.
We clear on that? Fine.
And I get final say on strategy.
No way.
Shouldn't that go to me? No.
Since you're sitting in a jail cell, I'll assume you screw things up.
I'm in charge.
We all agree? Dying to know.
What made you say yes? I was married to two pricks.
The one thing they can't do is lie convincingly.
Your boy is telling the truth.
I'll defend him.
Be in touch.
Ok.
We've got a lot to cover in a very short period of time.
Adam, you can start by tracking down Vinnie Delgato.
- Oh, we've already got a P.
I.
- Not like Vinnie, you don't.
Cassie, I want you to review all the pretrial proceedings, see if there's any grounds for appeal.
Since you're an ex-D.
A.
, you can also serve as our liaison with the prosecutor.
Who is that, anyway? Uh, Roseanna Remmick.
Okay - Did you say Roseanna Remmick? - Great.
- Hosanna Roseanna? - You expect me to be ready to butt heads with the district attorney in a week? - Harry, Bennett Fenwick.
- What? That's the case Tommy fobbed on me, - which I then fobbed to Cassie.
- Harry, we should get going.
Still need to file your appearance.
I'm sure Roseanna can't wait to meet you.
She's known for cherry-picking dead bang winners.
- Did you know this? - I did, actually.
Just be yourself.
You'll be fine.
People never like me when I'm myself.
People like ties.
How's my tie? Brilliant.
It's your lucky blue.
And who are we today? Tommy Big-Boy.
I'm Tommy Big-Boy.
Hold that elevator.
I'm meeting with evil-doers.
The the name of the painting is "The Girl In The Red Coat".
Okay, that's the actual name of it.
And when was the painting sold? Four years ago, and then a friend of mine just happened to go to the buyer's house, some party a few weeks ago, and there it was, hanging on the living room wall.
And? The coat was blue.
They've painted it blue.
- Uh - You can't do that.
There are intellectual property rights that belong to the artist.
Can't just materially alter a painting like that.
- And how much was the painting sold for? - $7,200.
I have all the records here, and I want the painting back.
Okay.
Let me look into it a bit.
My sense is, you have no right to rescind the sale.
You're limited to money damages.
That's gonna be difficult for us to establish.
My reputation is being damaged, and it represents my work.
I understand.
Let me look into it.
What the hell is this? This would be the circus in which we're gonna take center ring.
And all these people here are really gathered for us? No, they just want a looky-look at the new kid, which is you.
This is Hosanna Roseanna right there.
Are we contesting this? Trust me.
Contest everything.
Everybody out.
All rise.
Case number 42765, the State of Ohio v.
Eric Sanders the Third, on the charge of first degree murder.
Okay, I'm informed we're just filing an attorney appearance.
Mr.
Richard, does that mean that your firm is withdrawing - as counsel? - No, Your Honor.
Ms.
Korn is simply signing on as co-counsel.
Which is obviously a tactic designed to delay the trial, Your Honor.
Mr.
Richard is a competent, experienced, criminal practitioner.
- Why would he want someone who sells shoes? - High-end shoes.
Ms.
Korn, you will be deemed up to speed.
I am not setting the clock back.
Now, if there are any remaining pretrial motions to be filed, they must be done so by 5:00 PM on Thursday.
Voir dire will commence next Tuesday.
We're adjourned.
What the? No, just ignore them; they don't really exist.
Here comes our girl.
Shame on you, bringing in the lovable grandmother! Oh, she just fakes lovable.
How are we, dear? Roseanna Remmick.
It is such a pleasure to meet you.
I've actually heard so much about you.
Really? Like what? Well, mainly just the extraordinary comeback.
I I love comebacks.
I have such a soft spot for the underdog.
Have you heard much about me, Harry? Just that you're sweet.
So, Ollie chose to throw you to the wolves, did he? - No, just the one.
- Oh, I hope you warned your little friend not to fool with me.
I can never keep it straight, is it "fiddled" or "fooled"? 'Cause we fiddled once, and you seemed to enjoy it.
I'm guessing it's "fooled.
" Don't fool with her.
Oh.
So you know her soft spot.
- I do.
- You're disgusting and vulgar.
- Which is it? Make up your mind.
- Look, Mrs.
Remmick, I don't actually go for all the macho baiting that men so love to do.
We can be worthy adversaries in court but civil to each other otherwise.
What a lovely thought.
I'll bet you make for a wonderful grandmother! Okay, I want to kill her.
- Mr.
Rabinowitz.
- Yes.
This way, please.
I'm sorry.
Tommy Jefferson.
I had an appointment at 11:00.
Yes, we're running a little behind, Mr.
Jefferson.
We'll be with you shortly.
He's coming in? With his lawyer, who didn't seem receptive.
Be back at 6:00.
- Well, this is a good sign right? - Not really.
I would have filed papers had they not talked, and that would have cost them money.
In the meantime, think of a number that fixes this for you.
Oh, i it's not about the money.
- I want the painting back.
- I'm not sure - that that's on the table.
- Yeah, well, they have to.
I spent the last three years of my life on this.
I need to get it back.
We have an evidence room which will basically be dedicated to this trial.
You can set up shop here, if you want.
Did you say yours was being painted, anyway? Fumigated.
Who's the handling P.
I.
? A guy by the name of Frank Leahy.
- You know him? - Frank Leahy.
Hey, you got food here? Because, like, I do my best work when there's food.
You get food when you get results.
How you doing, Benny? Um, I'd hug you, but you smell.
Eh, good to see you, Harry.
Harry, we got copies of Eric Sanders' journal.
It's not good.
"How joyous it would be to creep up from behind" "while she lay lapping" "in her suds of luxury" "and smash her head like a melon.
" Great.
Keep reading.
"To feel the joy, the freedom" "that can only come from the sound of crushing," "mulching bone that used to be her skull.
" Plagiarized.
I think that was Dickens.
Start drafting a motion to suppress.
The jury cannot I repeat, cannot get wind of this.
Damn it! - Look, you knew what was in the journal.
- Actually, I didn't.
This on top of the evidence? Eric, this case simply cannot be won.
No, don't say that.
Trials can always be won.
O.
J.
got off.
Casey Anthony got off.
Guilty people are acquitted all the time.
And I happen to be innocent.
Don't say you can't win this! He's a bit of a table banger.
Now, why don't you just tell her? Isn't the idea to bring her up to speed? Just tell her! Eric, the only thing I'm gonna tell her is to back off if you don't stop yelling.
You hear me? In order for her to do her job, she needs to know you that's why you're gonna tell it.
Nicely.
I was framed.
There are countless people who hated my wife, who had access to my home and my journals.
Somebody read the entries and the perfect plot was hatched.
That's what happened.
And the journal? Fantasies about spousicide are not uncommon.
Wanting to kill her it brought me relief, okay? Relief? From what? I I don't know.
A tyranny you cannot imagine.
But also not just her dying, but doing it at my hands.
- That was - If you were that unhappy, why didn't you just leave her? I have children.
They came first.
And if I couldn't divorce her because of the sake of the kids, I hardly think I'd kill her.
You'd just write about it in graphic detail.
Oh, trust me, I would have loved to have divorced her.
And even bashed in her skull, for that matter.
But my kids came first so I ate the pain.
That's what I did.
I ate it.
For 30 years I ate it.
I have to tell you, Eric what I'm observing right now you seem like a nut-job.
Which also doesn't improve our chances.
I want my painting back.
Mr.
Fenwick, you conveyed the artwork to my client for a considerable sum of money.
The painting's entitled "The Girl In The Red Coat".
He's painted it blue.
It belongs to him.
Well, it isn't quite that simple.
There are some intellectual - property rights in play.
- Oh, come on.
You suggesting if he bought a Picasso - he'd be free to change it? - Are you suggesting he's Picasso? Whether he is or not, every artist has a moral right to their work.
Subsequent purchasers are not free to disfigure it.
He didn't disfigure it if anything, - he improved it.
- How dare you! - Bennett.
- I would like to apologize for my attorney's remark.
I certainly did not improve it.
I really, I'm I'm very sorry for all this, Mr.
Fenwick.
May I ask why you did it? My wife's primary interest in the painting was as a focal point for our living room.
She particularly liked how the colors complemented the drapes, the oriental rugs.
And then, well, the inexplicable happened.
What? She changed the drapes.
I want to see it.
I want to see the blue coat.
Okay.
Looks very nice.
You changed her hair.
Yes.
My wife thought that blonde would work I am terribly sorry, Mr.
Jefferson, but since we're running over, we won't be taking any more appointments today.
I do apologize for the inconvenience.
Are you kidding me? I waited yesterday for three hours, - another two today.
- We told your assistant that since you were scheduled so last-minute, we may not - be able to accommodate you.
- Are you kidding me? I'm really sorry.
Let me tell you something.
You do not keep somebody waiting two days - and then not see him.
- I'm really sorry.
You give a little message to your boss you tell him he kept Tommy Jefferson waiting, tell him he angered Tommy Jefferson, and make sure he knows who I am.
We know who you are, Mr.
Jefferson.
Do you? I don't think you do.
I'm Ryan v.
Exxon $16 million, I'm Emerson v.
Matlow, $11 million.
I'm Tommy "Big-Boy" Jefferson.
That's who I am, that's who I am.
You do your damn research.
You'll be coming to me, I promise you.
Tommy Jefferson.
Hey.
Hi.
So who is she? Bennett, who's the blonde in blue who used to be a brunette in red? She's my daughter.
I sold the painting because we needed the money and I always thought I could paint another one.
And then four months later she and my wife were killed in an automobile accident.
That was three years ago.
I haven't been able to paint a thing since.
I appreciate you seeing me.
Oh, no problem at all.
What can I do to help? Well May I sit? Of course.
Excuse me.
Where are my manners? I have a motion I'm about to file in court.
It seeks to suppress portions of my client's journal on the grounds of prejudice.
Specifically, the section where he writes about killing his wife.
I was hoping to perhaps secure your cooperation.
You must be joking.
You have a pile of evidence here.
Why introduce the journal, when a), you probably don't need it, and b), by doing so, you run the very real risk of guaranteeing me an appeal? It's a bombshell that obliterates any hope - of a future trial.
- It's probative of the crime.
- No, it isn't really, since - Okay, you know what? You know, you must have another agenda here.
You couldn't possibly have wasted so much of your time and your energy on something so frivolous, unless you're a dope.
Are you a dope, Harry? You didn't strike me as a dope.
No, I'm a pretty good judge of character.
You just didn't strike me as a dope.
Yet here you are, asking me what a thing.
You have a strong case.
You might jeopardize it by being overzealous.
Prosecutors do that all the time.
I'll be opposing your motion.
You might want to take that outside.
I'm rather busy.
This is Harry Korn.
Excuse me? What's going on? He had some sort of breakdown, I'm told.
The doctor's with him right now.
This is Bethany Sanders, Eric's daughter.
- Bethany, this is Harry Korn.
- Hello.
Hello.
I'm sorry to meet you under these circumstances.
I've met lawyers under worse.
I imagine you have.
Really? I doubt that.
She has a lot of anger, as you might have detected.
Have we interviewed this girl? As best we can.
She's a little hostile.
She feels sympathetic, but Bethany, Mr.
Richard explained that I'll be taking over the defense? Yeah.
Congratulations on that.
I take it you think your father is guilty.
- Mr.
Richard.
- Yes.
Okay, so I gave him a sedative and he's resting comfortably.
We're going to let you see him for about a minute or two and obviously, I don't want him agitated.
What happened, doctor? Basically, an extremely acute anxiety attack.
He's had lesser ones while in here, this one was on the grand mal level.
He's okay, but he really needs to rest.
Hey, Eric, you doing okay? You think you could get them to take off the shackles? Hi, sweetheart.
Hi, dad.
Listen, Eric, the doctor says we have to leave.
You need to get some rest.
In a couple of hours, I'm going to go into court and try to get bail, okay? We're going to try to get you out of here.
We're going to give you a moment with your daughter.
What are you thinking? You're not going to get bail.
Ollie, he's cracking up, can't you see that? It doesn't matter, he's a first degree murder suspect.
With no record, and he's not a flight risk.
You're being ridiculous.
This is Hosanna Roseanna.
We get him acquitted, she's not gonna let him go.
Oliver, if he can't contribute to his defense, possibly even testify You're never going to get bail.
Maybe not, but at least we have to try.
Otherwise, I promise you we're dead.
I really want to thank you for coming in.
Bethany, we need to get your dad out of lock-up.
You're the only one of his children who might entertain the idea of supporting him.
- You actually believe he could be innocent? - I don't know.
I think it's possible somebody read that journal and framed him.
Here's what I fear might not be possible a fair trial.
Your father is becoming mentally unhinged.
If his stability erodes any further, I couldn't possibly allow for him to testify or Bethany, I'm not asking you to believe in his innocence, just the idea of it.
If I could get you to just show up at this bail hearing.
If the judge could see one of his kids there, somebody who doesn't think of him as a monster.
We need to get him out of that jail cell.
How'd it go? Sorry? With the super giant? Oh.
They want me to maybe take the case.
Not sure it's something I really want to do.
It'll be a long, protracted mess.
Oops.
Sorry.
New office.
Still working out the bugs.
All rise.
- Be ready.
She's gonna come right at you.
- I'm ready for her, - don't worry.
- This court is now in session.
The Honorable Judge Lucas Kirkland presiding.
Be seated.
All right, we have two motions from the defense.
Ms.
Korn, let's hear from you.
Thank you, Your Honor.
We would first move to suppress certain portions of my client's journal on the grounds that this material, which Your Honor has seen in an in-camera inspection, would be highly inflammatory, prejudicial, and In other words, it proves guilt.
It does not prove his guilt, and point of procedure, I like to finish my own sentences.
This material represents my client's fantasies, nothing more It might also represent the exact blueprint for the manner in which he bludgeoned her.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That was your sentence, and I finished it again.
My bad.
My client's journal also spoke of wanting to fly, to be a bird.
Does that mean But he didn't fly, he did bludgeon, however.
According to you, but of course you would think that, because you're prejudiced by the journal, - add to that, you're a bitch.
- All right, that's enough.
If the day has come when the government tries to convict somebody for his private thoughts then what the hell is next? It's a diary, a place where people surrender to flights of fancy, freely, with an expectation of privacy.
He left it out in the open.
- There was no expectation - On his nightstand, in his bedroom.
Ms.
Korn, this issue was argued before by Mr.
Richard.
My position was and remains that the probative value of the journal exceeds the prejudicial limit.
Your motion is denied.
Let's move on.
Next I would ask that Your Honor afford my client bail.
Which is preposterous on its face.
Not my face, unless, of course, I do this.
You having fun? No, I'm pissed.
This is supposed to be fair.
It won't be if my client can't contribute to his defense.
He's been held in isolation for almost a year Yeah, we hold murderers now.
Eric Sanders has to be given a shot at a fair trial.
His continued confinement is wreaking psychological havoc on him.
This morning, he had an acute anxiety attack and was hospitalized.
If he deteriorates any further, my next motion will be that he's mentally incompetent - and unable to stand trial at all - He beat a woman to death.
And if you can prove that, lady, you get to lock him up, but we don't incarcerate pre-trial unless there's a risk of flight or public safety, and here there's neither.
The idea that this is a fair process is ridiculous.
The prosecution has the resources of the entire state of Ohio.
The District Attorney herself is personally leading the charge.
My client has to arm himself with only his lawyer and his wits, and if he's held in jail any longer, he won't even have the latter! All right.
$10 million bond, $2 million cash.
Settle down.
The defendant will surrender his passport and be outfitted with an ankle bracelet, pending release.
Our business is finished here.
I will see you all on Tuesday, bright and early, ready for trial.
We're adjourned.
I have to admit, I didn't expect that.
Well done.
This woman is a problem.
I want her removed.
Is it even ethical for you to be here? No, but since I'm not making any legal arguments - Does that make it okay? - No.
Mr.
Preston, you strike me as a compassionate man.
So I guess I would be appealing to that compassion as well as your sense of integrity, I suppose, and I'd like you to give the painting back.
Just give it back? He needs it.
I'm not sure you do.
It's really his daughter? It's kind of a dirty trick, don't you think? Playing on a person's sympathies? I'm a lawyer.
We don't shame.
All right, I tell you what.
I'll agree to return the painting.
And you agree to have dinner with me.
I don't think that would be a good idea.
I'm not looking to cheat on my wife.
No, I just when you meet someone who's intelligent, interesting, you just, uh, well, you hate the idea of her walking out of your life.
Dinner as friends.
I really am a man of integrity.
I believe that.
Which is why I'm asking you to return the painting.
And understand my declining to have dinner with you.
Hey, what's up? Warren, today could be your lucky day.
You have so longed for the chance to go spelunking up my ass with kisses.
Tonight, you get your wish.
Federal case in New York.
A man named Julian Heicklen was indicted for the advocacy of jury nullification as a violation of the law against jury tampering.
And? And Harry Korn has made her mark as a criminal defense attorney systemically doing just that.
I want her indicted.
Please do so ASAP.
Is there a problem? Well, that just seems like a ploy to discredit her.
Oh, does it seem like that, really? I don't like to hear that.
You know, Warren, I think you're just having trouble locating your motivation.
File the charges or you're fired.
More better? Shot of the crime scene from outside the bedroom, and now this is the scene of the crime inside right here, and this What, what was that? Relatives sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces.
We've already checked 'em out, Vin, none of 'em are killers.
Who checked them out Frank Leahy? - We don't have time to go backwards.
- Hey, I'm going forward, slick.
- Take it outside? - All right.
Harry, Eric Sanders is here.
Okay, put him in my office.
Go ahead, start interviewing them, see what you can come up with.
So I don't even have to refund the money? Here's the deal, Mr.
Fenwick, you resume painting and your career, and when you begin earning money, we can talk about you refunding the funds, but part of the deal is you have to resume painting.
I really am so sorry for all this.
I I hope you can restore the painting to its original form.
I really don't know how to thank you.
Well, you can thank your attorney.
She's impressive.
Well, I'll thank both of you.
More than I can Would you mind if I left before embarrassing myself? That'd be fine.
And, uh thank you! I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable earlier.
I was inappropriate, and, uh how do I put this? - Um - You're still trying to get that dinner.
But I'm flattered and grateful.
Well, life is all in the timing, they say, right? It was a pleasure to meet you.
You, too.
All right, um we need to talk about that night.
I've read all the reports, including Oliver's, but I need to hear this directly from you, Eric.
What exactly happened? Well, um we had gotten into an argument, which was not uncommon.
What time was this? It started after dinner, around 8:00, and pretty much continued until I went to bed.
Around 10:00.
Uh, I'd taken a sleeping pill, which was also not uncommon after one of these arguments.
I well, we had separate bedrooms.
There's a shocker, huh? I went to bed.
Uh, I heard something, at some point.
Um, I got up.
I went into her bedroom, and she wasn't there.
I I went into her bathroom and she was, uh lying in the bathtub.
Blood everywhere.
And then what? I I remember trying to revive her.
Which, um then see I I was in a bit of shock.
Plus I was disoriented, you know, I the sleeping pills you, you see, that's that's the problem.
I I was so disoriented.
Did you call 911? Well, before I had the chance, the police were suddenly there.
Evidently, a neighbor had called it in.
I didn't kill her, Harry.
I certainly know how this looks.
But I didn't do it.
Ollie, thanks for dropping by.
Have a seat.
I'm just finishing up here.
Well, your little friend seems very good.
I'd like you to remove her from the proceeding, please.
Excuse me? She pisses me off, Ollie.
What especially pisses me off is the way she gets jurors to ignore evidence.
It's unacceptable.
Are you serious? I like you, Ollie.
I remember that night we spent together.
Actually, I don't.
Remove your friend, please.
Okay, let me rephrase this.
Are you out of your mind? Know what I think? I think she's not your friend at all.
How do I know this? You threw her in my path.
A person doesn't do that to a friend.
I will win this trial.
Remove Harry Korn for her own good.
You're insane.
I'm not about to remove her.
Well, don't say you weren't warned.
What's the matter? What? Nothing.
How's the case coming? Oh, truth be told, I'm having a little buyer's remorse.
What, are you kidding? It's the biggest trial in Cincinnati.
It's the talk of the town, and you're smack dab in the middle of it.
What's wrong, Tommy? It's a terrible feeling to wake up knowing you're not what you used to be.
I keep thinking I'll get it back, you know.
Then I realize You know, one of the reasons I wanted to open up an office with you? I thought perhaps some of your luster would I never get real corporate clients.
Or blue chip.
I I I thought you know, maybe.
You've been pretty damn successful, Tommy.
I mean, look at the walls here.
Hobbed-nobbed with presidents, for God's sake.
Yeah.
Make a big enough donation.
I don't know what's worse.
To wake up feeling like not what you used to be, or rather knowing you're still what you always were.
I'm not going to listen to this nonsense.
- Harry, you need to come out here.
- Harry Korn? - Or not.
- What's going on? Please stand and put your hands behind your back, please.
- What? - What the hell's going on here? You're under arrest for jury tampering, ma'am.
- Please stand, put your - What? Jury tampering? hands behind your back.
- You have the right to remain silent.
- You out of your minds? - Shut your mouth! - I'm Tommy Jefferson.
I'm all mouth.
Get your hands off me.
- Harry, don't talk.
- I'll talk all I want! Give me my gun! - Hey, get your hands off her! - Shut up! I want the names and badge numbers of every one of you.
- Give me a second with her.
- Back off, or I'll arrest you next.
You listen to me, punk.
I heat my pool suing cops.
Give us the second.
Now.
Just do not talk, Harry.
- This is all her.
- Who? Hosanna.
Who else? She's trying to discredit me - with the judge and jury.
Call Ollie.
- For now, say nothing.
- I will meet you at the station.
- Me, too.
Yeah, but in the meantime, you deliver a message to Ms.
Remmick.
Harry, be quiet!
