Woman: Victor?
Victor, I need your help
with something.
Honey, I got water boiling.
Dinner can wait.
Want to help me out of this?
Whoo.
You get it ***
an old man, don't you?
I do, don't I?
Ugh.
How did I get so lucky?
You didn't.
I'm using you for sex.
I love you, Clara.
I love you more.
I'll be back in an hour.
Where are you off to?
Strawberries.
Champagne.
Don't you leave this bed.
Uh-uh.
[sigh]
[camera clicks]
[police radio chatter]
Oh, my God, Leo.
What am I going to do?
Reporter:
Did you kill your husband?!
No, I did not.
I loved my husband.
If you're acquitted,
you'll be a billionaire.
How does that make me feel?
My client has no comment.
Woman: What's it like
sleeping alone now?
By the way, how was the sex?
Get her inside.
What station are you from?
Where are your credentials?
This is a public street
in a free country.
I don't need credentials.
You're no journalist.
Someone told you
to ask those questions.
Look.
I'm just doing my job.
I think I can guess who for.
So, what are you getting
off Mrs.
Musso?
Well, it's more sadness
than guilt really.
Well, the evidence
is rock solid.
There's a partial print on a
syringe containing cyanide.
There's no sign of forced
entry in her apartment.
And she is the primary
beneficiary of the will.
Well, you got all that
going for you, Crosby.
I mean, what do you
need me for?
Never underestimate the
value of an expert witness.
Doc, you wanna do this?
[cell phone rings]
Hello.
How was the sex?
Oh, hello, Zoe.
Well it's been a long time.
What do you need?
You need a reference?
I haven't had any trouble
getting offers so far.
You sent one of your minions to ask vicious
and personal questions to my client
Just so you could read
her reactions on tv.
I can't hear you.
No, can you say that again.
Hear me now?
Oh.
Clear as a bell.
Counselor.
Counselor.
I'd like to speak with
my ex-husband in private,
If that's all right.
Absolutely.
I'd like an answer by the end of the
business day, if you don't mind.
Otherwise, I gotta go to Rayder firm,
and I don't really want to do that.
So, end of the day?
Fair enough.
Let me guess.
He wants you to be
his expert witness?
Yep.
Your client is hiding
something, Zoe.
Probably of a *** nature,
Granted that is wishful
thinking on my part.
You see how she's bringing
that hand up to her face?
She's got a secret.
I will tear you apart on the stand, Cal.
And you know it.
Nice charm, that is.
So, you really think
she didn't kill her husband?
Yes, I do.
What makes you so sure?
All the evidence is
circumstantial.
And as for motive,
there is none.
My client didn't want
for anything.
It was a loving
and faithful marriage.
She got an alibi?
Uh-oh.
How much is she paying you?
Exactly what I'm worth.
Well, drinks are on you then.
StillNo alibi.
Well, the trauma of finding
her husband dead
Caused Clara to lose her memory
for the 40 minutes
Between the last time she saw him alive
and when she discovered his body.
Look at it.
I mean, really.
She is pushing
those tears out, she is.
I mean, she's faking it.
We both know
that this "science" of yours
Has a serious margin for error.
And it just won't cut it
in a court of law.
And what will?
Tears for a dead husband
that left her $1.
2 billion?
I know why you're doing this.
And you're not going
to get under my skin.
Or my skirt.
You know that's a lie, that is.
I mean the skin part.
Is this funny to you?
The most important case of my career?
I haven't even taken
the bloody job yet, Zoe.
You know, unlike you, I don't need
to have studied amazonian pigmies
For 6 years to know
that that's a lie.
You want me
to do this.
You do.
You don't know why you do.
But you do.
Did I say
"serious margin for error"?
I was being generous.
Or couldn't you tell.
You know, it's going
to be a shame
To disappoint you
in the courtroom.

How can anyone think Clara
killed her husband?
I've been friends with her
for almost 10 years.
There's no way she
could have done this.
Gotta love how everyone comes out
of the woodwork on cases like this.
Well, they've gotta get
their 15 minutes somehow.
By turning this woman's
life into a circus.
Yeah.
Well, we're all part
of that circus now.
Prosecution.
Foster,
you're prepping witnesses.
You two, you get jury watch.
You want us to read the
jurors for the whole trial?
Track 'em individually,
see what makes them tick.
But then look at them
as a group.
I want to know which way
they're leaning.
You know, the leaders,
the followers.
Well go on.
You're not just doing this
to push Zoe's buttons.
There's something else
going on here.
This is about justice, Foster.
There's something else.
Zoe-related.
Justice for a *** victim.
By avoiding my question,
you just answered it.
I just hope for all our sakes,
you know what you're doing.
Join the club.
Torres: 6 of the jurors look
convinced Clara is guilty
Just from
the opening arguments.
You could see approval
on their faces
Every time
the prosecutor talked.
Maybe.
But these 2 are
for the defense.
And they've already
emerged as leaders.
Jurors 6, 7, and 11 were looking
at them the whole time,
Gauging their reaction.
Which way you two leaning?
Maybe he wasn't dying
fast enough for her.
I mean, the guy was 30
years older than she is.
So?
So
It can affect
the power dynamic.
Imbalance of power in a relationship
can lead to victimization.
Oh, that struck a nerve.
That's interesting.
Studies show that the most
successful marriages are the ones
Where husbands are at least 5
years older than their wives.
So, being with an older man
broadens your horizons, does it?
I'm sure Clara learned
a lot from Victor.
Yeah.
I'm sure she did--
about denture cream.
You see,
you're not listening, again.
Loker, what Torres is saying is that she
needs to be stimulated and challenged.
By experience.
So, who was
this old fart then, eh?
I was talking about Clara.
Nah.
You weren't.
You connected with a memory,
Which I proceeded to belittle.
Sorry about that.
Oh, you cannot sing
the praises of older men
And then not give up details.
Watch me.
All right.
What? You couldn't take me
one-on-one?
Nah.
Been there, done that.
Ow, Loker, let go!
I promise to play nice today.
Last time you said that
you left claw marks.
Do you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth,
And nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
That's not possible.
Excuse me.
Well, no one can tell the
whole truth, your honor.
I mean, it's subjective.
It's filtered through our own experiences.
And that's the real truth.
Well, how about promising
to be honest
To the best of your ability?
Now, you're talking.
Please, be seated.
Thank you, your honor.
Dr.
Lightman,
your resume speaks for itself.
You're Oxford educated.
You're a doctorate in psychology.
And you're a consultant
for the FBI.
As you well know, the key
question in this trial is
Where was Clara Musso the night
her husband was murdered?
The defense wants us to believe
That the trauma of finding
her husband dead
Has left Mrs.
Musso unable
to recall the 40 minutes
Between leaving him
and discovering his corpse.
Dr.
Lightman,
in your expert opinion,
Does this claim of memory loss
pass the sniff test?
No.
Could you elaborate?
Yeah.
It's been proven
that some trauma--
Warfare, child abuse--
Can cause memory loss.
Do you have experience
with such cases?
Yeah.
Plenty.
I've worked with soldiers,
*** victims.
Memory loss is caused
by degradation or abuse.
Shock of a dead spouse,
I mean, that'd be a first.
[quiet murmuring]
How about a shock
of committing ***?
Killers have been known
to experience amnesia.
Forensic psychologists
Call it red out.
How common is it to lie,
claiming memory loss?
Well, 9 out of 10 people
claiming memory loss are lying.
Why would they do that?
Well, it's easier to say,
"I can't remember.
"
Than tell the truth.
I have nothing further.
Your witness, counselor.
Zoe: Ahem.
Permission to treat Dr.
Lightman
as a hostile witness?
Granted.
Dr.
Lightman!
I'm sorry.
Won't happen
again, your honor.
Thank you.
Dr.
Lightman was born hostile.
He also happens
to be my ex-husband.
Guilty as charged.
But, you know, it was my loss.
'cause truly she is an angel.
The prosecution has touted
your credentials, Dr.
Lightman.
Are we to understand
that you possess the gift
Of being able to distinguish
between truth and lies?
No.
No.
20 years of research
is not a gift, is it?
You and I know, it's a
bit of a curse, really.
Indeed it was.
In fact, do you recall
being jeered off the stage
While keynoting the Harvard global
psychology conference in 2005?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I do.
Yeah!
Yeah, and it's bonkers.
Right? Because I could have
sworn that they were cheering.
They called it pop psychology.
Voodoo science.
I think it's because
they're scared of me.
[laughter]
we were still married,
You accused my boss
of sleeping with me.
The gloves are coming
off now, eh?
Objection! Your honor,
that's immaterial.
Dr.
Lightman,
last warning.
Overruled.
Didn't it come out eventually
that my boss--
A man--was in fact gay?
Yeah.
Yeah, it did.
Yeah.
I was way
off the mark on that one.
But I mean,
I was jealous.
I was young.
I was head over heels
in love.
You know.
By day I'm a scientist.
But by night, I'm fallible.
I'm only human.
Well, I'm not questioning
your humanity.
And certainly not
your fallibility.
Oh, that's a relief.
You are here because
of your expertise
In psychology and lying.
I'm challenging that.
Your flagrant manipulation
of the jury notwithstanding.
Ok.
But when you say that
your client is innocent,
You don't fully believe that.
Again, you misjudge my thoughts
Because I know
my client is innocent.
Why don't you want to hear
the science then?
Your testimony is limited
to scientific context
Not specific opinions
on who's lying.
All right, well you want
to hear the whole truth?
That woman over there--
your client--
The black widow over there--
Control yourself!
When she says
she doesn't know--
Judge: Dr.
Lightman.
Control yourself.
Well, she's lying.
And that's a fact.
Control yourself or I will have
the judge control you!
Her? Do me a favor,
look at her.
She's having a tough enough
time controlling herself.
Marshall, please remove
this witness
Before I hold him in contempt.
I mean, look at her.
Bulging eyes,
The guilt all over her face.
I think it's the ***.
[gavel striking]
Get him out of here!
[striking continues]
Oh.
Hello, darling.
What?
I hope that was part of
a careful plan in there.
Careful's for lawyers
and accountants, right?
I think it's very
interesting of her
When I called her
a black widow,
She got a little pout.
Her feelings were hurt.
Really?
Surprising.
Shocking, huh?
I'm heading back to the office
to prep more witnesses.
You coming?
No, I gotta see a man
about a dog.
I'll catch up with you.
Ok.
Behave.
You're right.
Hey, you need a lawyer?
No, I'm only joking.
What judge you got?
Denton.
Why?
Oh, denton.
He's a complete softy.
He's a pushover.
He's a bleeding heart
liberal, vegetarian.
I mean, the most you're looking at there
is a slap on the wrist.
Well done.
No.
No.
I didn't do anything.
It was that guy.
He mugged my wife.
Really?
I'm sorry about that.
I mean, it's just
luck of the draw.
I mean, keep your chin up.
That was my wife!
That was my wife!
Come on! Let me go!
[door shuts]
Shouldn't my lawyer be here if
you're going to talk to me?
Three's a crowd, love.
Excuse me?
Don't get me wrong.
She's a terrific lawyer.
She's really top-notch.
And I mean that.
Seems there's a lot of chemistry
there between you and your ex-wife.
Well, there's a lot
of chemistry in chernobyl.
You know what's interesting,
Dr.
Lightman.
We both have something
in common.
Oh yeah.
We both married up.
Hah.
You really miss him, do you?
Victor?
You're the expert.
When I say I loved
my husband, what do you see?
Well, you can love a man
and kill him.
Or have him killed.
Look me in the eye
And tell me you believe
I killed my husband.
Tell me about those 40 minutes
You can't remember.
Find whoever murdered Victor and
I'll tell you whatever you want.
Oh, I see.
You got someone in mind then.
Victor gave me more
than I ever wanted.
We were partners in everything.
All the charities.
I converted to catholicism so I
could share that with him too.
Why would I end that?
[door opens]
What the hell is going on?!
I'm tampering with your client.
Are you always this relentless?
To the point
of self-destruction.
Officer!
You wanted your father's
money, didn't you?!
You were desperate
and you wanted his money
So, you framed your stepmother.
The hell I did!
That's crazy!
See, that's wrong.
I mean the worst thing you can do is
match your questioner's intensity.
Instead give a firm,
deliberate answer.
Here, watch.
The reforms I'm proposing
Would not apply to those
who are here illegally.
Joe Wilson: You lie!
[booing]
It's not true.
The president clenches his jaw,
slight hints of anger,
But then he modulates his voice
and folds his hands.
Ok.
Now, Mr.
O'Sullivan,
did you *** Victor Musso?
Certainly not.
Good.
Simple.
Direct.
Truthful.
See, I know how to handle myself
under pressure, Dr.
Foster.
I was Vic's right hand
for 25 years.
Riding his coattails
for 25 years.
I was cfo for
a "fortune 500" company.
One last tip.
Women require more eye
contact than men
To feel a connection.
So, I want you both
to focus your attention
On the female jurors.
Got it?
Anything to put
that gold-digger away.
Where was that loyalty
when your father was alive?
Hey, she came onto me, ok?!
Well, since it was my client
you illegally tampered with,
Judge Quinn has given me
the authority
To either keep you in here
or release you.
Oh yeah? You bought her
a drink or 3 then?
Give me one good reason I should
let you out of here.
One good reason, all right.
Yeah.
Just one.
Well
How about you need me?
You know, a room like this in our
house could have saved our marriage.
Goodbye, Cal.
[buzzer]
Your client's innocent,
by the way.
I found out while I was
tampering with her.
Think I'll take a nap.
Don't pretend you don't
need my help, Cal.
[sigh]
Why do you do it?
Do what?
You know, keep forcing us
together like this.
Paging Dr.
Kinsey.
[sigh] do you want
to switch to my side?
What? And stop all this fun
we're having here?
You must be joking.
The fact of the matter is,
your client's innocent
And the jury are about
to convict her.
No, they're not.
Yeah, they are.
Please.
Fair enough.
You're the boss.
Stop it.
A little role playing
never hurt anyone.
I should let you rot in here.
Can't argue
with you there, darling.
[buzzer]
Marshall, here's the authorization
For what I'm sure
will be a huge mistake.
Clara didn't care about me.
She didn't care
about my father.
She just wanted his money.
All right, let's pretend
the jury's watching.
Ok?
Now, tell them exactly
how Clara seduced you.
It was a week after
she had interviewed my dad
About the clinics
he built in Africa.
She was at our ranch.
I didn't know that they
had already become involved.
She wanted a tour.
I was showing
her the wine cellar.
And that's when it happened.
All right.
That was good
eye contact and posture, Damien.
But remember, fold your hands
to avoid fidgeting.
Got it.
How many times
did you have sex?
Maybe 6 or 7.
The maybe undercuts your
credibility with the jurors.
Especially with these 2.
All right.
Give them a specific number.
But when she found out
that I didn't have any money
And that it was all in
a trust until I was 40,
She dumped me.
The next thing I know,
She's engaged to my father.
And he is changing his will.
Where was the last place
you and Clara had sex?
I don't know.
They all kind of run together.
Let's get some caffeine.
It always helps me focus.
So, tell me what happened
in the wine cellar.
I was showing her my dad's
collection,
And she asked
to see my belt buckle.
And you took it off or did she?
She did.
Help yourself.
All right,
you just watch the images.
And we'll monitor your
reactions on the outside.
Give me the finger.
Ah, that's charming isn't it?
Are you this hands-on
with all your clients?
Well, I'm not afraid to get a
little dirty when necessary.
Hmm.
All right, so you
Say you didn't kill
your husband.
I believe you're innocent.
Well, I can't say this feels
like a vote of confidence.
Well, you still don't remember
what happened that night,
So, a few faces from the
case might jog your memory.
Have fun.
How is this supposed
to help jog her memory?
Dr.
Lightman: It's not.
It's nonsense.
But since she's lying to us
about those 40 minutes,
We're coming at it
from another angle.
Oh, flag that one.
Contempt when
she looks at Damien.
Loker: Well, your stepson
says you're sleeping together
The same time you're bedding
daddy-- that can bring contempt.
Yeah, and in my country, a new
member of the royal family.
Flag that one.
Push in on her hand.
Ooh.
Who's that woman
she's reacting to?
That's Tanya Wilson.
It's a close friend of Clara's.
She comes to court every day
to support her.
Well, that hand closing like
thatIs anger.
What happened in the
What--I--I don't remember.
That's bullocks, Clara.
Do you know who killed
your husband?
You know I don't.
That's enough, Cal.
Too right it is.
You're lying.
I can't help ya.
[sigh]
Uncooperative witness--
that's common.
Uncooperative client--
that's rare.
Well, Crosby hired us
as experts.
Can't you just tell her
you're sure she didn't do it?
It's a matter of pride
for Crosby at this point.
You know, what passes
for truth in a courtroom
Isn't necessarily
the whole truth.
I love you too.
Out.
Clara was trying to hide her
anger toward Tanya.
Yeah, I need some background
on that one.
Right.
And we saw Clara's
contempt for Damien.
What does she say about her
affair with him?
She's adamant
it never happened.
Damien came onto her.
She said no.
It's he said, she said.
When I was prepping him, I asked them
about their last *** encounter,
And he just stood there
holding a pot of coffee.
I mean, he couldn't fill his cup
while giving the details.
Manual tasks are harder to integrate
when you're faking a story.
Yeah, but I believed him
the first time around.
What if his story is
an obsessive fantasy?
If he played it out
in his head enough,
He could have said it really happened
without showing any signs of deception.
So, Clara rejects Damien
for his father,
Who's shadow he lives in.
It could have driven him
to ***.
Both: We need to get Damien
back in here.
Now, that's dangerous.
Hmm.
You think I need more prep work
before I testify?
There are a few more techniques Dr.
Lightman wants to go over.
Anything for my father.
[kissing]
You ***.
That's pure science.
How was it?
All right, come on.
Damien!
Damien, you lied!
You were never involved
with Clara were you?
She seduced me!
You're pathetic, Damien.
You're pathetic!
How could you do this?!
We wanted to see
how angry it made you
To see her with somebody else.
You think I killed my father?!
No.
No.
But you've been lying
about an innocent woman.
She is a gold-digger!
How can you say that?!
This was your plan all along!
I loved your father more
than anything!
No, you used him!
You wanted--
Ohh! Whoa.
Whoa! Whoa!
Hey!
Let's go!
Let it go.
Fair enough.
I expected a little bit
more than a slap
From the world's most
notorious *** suspect.
Yeah.
Well, I guess I've been
respectable for too long.
I think I can help you
with that.
Hey, doc, Damien Musso called
my office this morning.
He said you all but accused
him of ***.
Well, Clara didn't kill
her husband, right?
I see.
You switched sides.
I mean, how can I compete with
legs, cleavage & associates.
You can't.
You must be cleavage.
Well, legs here is twice
the lawyer you're ever gonna be.
Hah.
You know that affair Damien
said he had with Clara?
He was lying.
Call him to the stand.
It's perjury.
We had a contract, doc.
Look, I render my services
as an expert.
We prepped your witnesses for ya.
We read your jury.
Job done.
Well, it's going to be a long time before
you get any business from my office.
I'm devastated.
Really?
Yeah.
I'll see you in there,
counselor.
That's interesting.
What?
He's not worried
at all about Damien.
And, uh, he doesn't give a toss about
me coming over to the other side.
If anything,
he's more confident than usual.
He's up to something.
Mr.
O'Sullivan, why did you
hire a private investigator
To look into Clara's past?
I'd been friends with Victor
since we were 10 years old
In catechism at st.
Bernard's.
When I realized Victor was
getting serious about Clara,
I wanted to make sure her
intentions were sincere--
As a friend first
and as a business partner.
And did the investigator
find anything criminal?
No.
She reinvented
herself though.
New name.
New hair color.
New resume.
Well, breaking with the past
isn't always easy.
To your knowledge, was Victor
happy in his marriage?
Yes.
But he didn't have
all the facts.
Reviewing the estate yesterday,
I discovered something--
Objection, your honor.
Any information he has about the estate
Should have been brought
forth in deposition.
Are you certain that you made
the discovery yesterday?
Yes.
I'm certain.
No, he's lying, your honor.
[sigh]
He's been sitting on it.
So has the D.
A.
That's absurd.
Your honor, I move to
clear the whole gallery.
Muzzle your ex, Ms.
Landau,
or I will.
Proceed with your finding.
When I looked at Victor's
sub-accounts,
I discovered monthly withdrawals
of roughly $90,000,
Spread across the last year
and a half.
Clara was stealing from him.
He's not lying.
Motion for recess, your honor.
I need time to research
these claims.
You can recall the witness when
prosecution rests, Ms.
Landau.
You're leaving?
Yeah.
That jury's
You're screwed.
So, if Clara stole money
from her husband,
Why did we switch sides.
Lightman screwed up?
Well, Foster always says, the closer
you are to someone emotionally,
The harder it is to get
a true read.
Yeah, but Clara is a stranger.
Zoe isn't.
Anything she touches, Lightman
is going to bring baggage to it.
Hey, speaking of baggage, you
want to unload some of your own,
Like that memory
that Lightman saw?
Loker.
What?
What kind of age difference are
we talking about here? 10 years?
We're not discussing this.
Did you violate state laws
or something?
No.
Decency laws?
It was a totally legal
and healthy relationship.
That's exciting.
Come on.
Give me something.
What are you hiding?
At least give me his name.
Denise Watson.
Tanya Wilson,
as I live and breathe.
Clara's best mate.
Why's she so angry
with you then?
I didn't know that she was.
Really?! How long
have you two been friends?
I don't have to talk to you.
That's true.
That's true.
But I'll see to that
while you explain to a jury
Why you got so scared
when Leo testified
That Clara was stealing
from her husband.
I was scared for Clara
as a friend.
Ahh.
Were you two
in it together?
Were your robbing
the old man blind.
As I was going through a tough time.
Clara was helping me out.
See, there's that fear again.
I think you're hiding something.
I think you're here just to make
sure she keeps her mouth shut.
Ridiculous.
I smell blackmail.
Of a *** variety.
What is it?
Is it you and Clara?
You and Victor?
No, wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait a minute.
Three's a crowd, right?
You and Victor and Clara.
What you got on him?
You got photos?
You got video?
You got dirty knickers?
I had nothing to do
with his death.
My money's on video.
I think you got a sex tape.
About 90 grand a month's worth.
Clara met him through me.
Her life was supposed
to be mine.
It's not like they were
going to miss it.
Well, thanks for that.
Now, if you want
to stay out of jail,
I'm gonna need that sex tape.
It was Vic's 60th birthday,
And I wanted to do something
he'd never forget.
In every other way
he was conservative.
But this was a fantasy of his.
So, Tanya and I got together.
We were friends at that
point or so I thought.
So, those 40 minutes that
you claim you can't remember--
All right--
That's when you nipped out
to pay off Tanya.
Yeah?
It was meant to stop.
But when I got there,
She said that the payments
were going to keep going.
But you couldn't tell your
husband about the blackmail?
Or your lawyer?
It would have confirmed everything
that people had been saying about me.
And his reputation meant
the world to him.
You're willing to go to jail
to preserve that reputation?
True love.
I know.
It's absolute insanity.
Hmm.
I'm innocent, Zoe.
And I thought maybe you could
somehow make the jury see that.
Well, speaking of the jury,
we've been reading them,
And they're 12 to nothing
to convict.
I mean, it's one thing
to say you're innocent.
But, you gotta show them
who's guilty.
Well, we know we can
rule out Damien.
Who else has access
to your house?
The only other person
with a key was Leo.
He just smeared you in court.
I was stealing.
He stands
to benefit financially
If you're convicted.
He's the executor
of the estate.
There is no way.
Vic and Leo were
more than business partners.
They were like brothers.
Yeah, well so was brutus
and Caesar.
Put me back on the stand again.
What?
Just ask, Loker.
So, you sleep with women too?
Wow.
You just went to
a whole new level of blunt.
Well, it has serious
ramifications.
My competition
may have just doubled.
I was curious, ok?
Denise was funny
and interesting.
And I liked her smile.
Mm-hmm.
I didn't make a life choice.
Right.
So, just to confirm.
Not bisexual then.
It was experimenting, Loker.
Ok.
And you know, why can girls
do it and guys can't?
Where's the fantasy in that?
Anyways, who really cares what
people do in their bedrooms.
Everyone.
So
This experiment.
What were your findings?
You know,
scientifically speaking.
Zoe: You hold yourself out as
an arbiter of people's honesty,
Yet time and again you've
reversed yourself, Dr.
Lightman.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, scientists,
see, they admit their mistakes.
Ex-wives--that's an entirely
different story.
The fact is your science is
completely unreliable.
I mean, you're a glorified
fortuneteller.
A hack.
All right, well, let's see if
the jury agrees, shall we?
The foreman, he's high as a kite,
and he has been all along.
That one, she's getting off
on Clara's misery, she is.
And those 2 over there,
they're having an affair.
They're doing the dirty back
at the hotel.
Both of them married
to different people.
And that one has got
a serious foot fetish.
Dr.
Lightman,
for God's sake!
Well, no.
My point is
I can read anyone here.
Right.
Not just
the defendant or the judge.
If you're hiding something,
I'll know it.
And yet you never turn that scrutiny on yourself, Dr.
Lightman.
Why is that?
That would terrify you,
wouldn't it?
To be striped bare the way you
strip the people around you.
I'm not a killer, counselor.
But neither is Clara Musso.
Move to strike, your honor.
Sustained.
The real killer has been hiding
In plain sight all along.
He's in this very courtroom
as we speak.
Objection! Speculation!
Dr.
Lightman, this court
has indulged you
More than enough.
Step down now, please.
Please.
Please step down
before I have you arrested.
If you're gonna
arrest somebody,
You should arrest
Leo O'Sullivan.
[gavel striking]
He killed his best friend,
right, Leo?!
Marshall,
remove him from the court.
You ***! I didn't *** Vic.
I'd never!
Oh, that's the truth, see.
You didn't *** him,
But you did kill him,
didn't you?
All right.
I'll calm down.
What does that mean--
Leo killed Victor
but he didn't *** him?
Well, when he said
he didn't *** Victor,
There was no sign of
deception, right?
But when I asked him if he killed
his friend, he flashed regret.
Look, if I recall Leo
to the stand--
We crack the case.
He's right on the edge.
He just needs one more shove.
Spit it out then.
Well, since you asked.
When is killing your friend a good thing?
Please be seated.
I thought I kicked your ex-husband
out of my courtroom, counselor?
Dr.
Lightman is essential for my
client's defense, your honor.
He's just here to observe.
He won't be a nuisance
to the court.
Well, if he is, he will be
the guest of the county
For the next 30 days.
Are we clear, Dr.
Lightman?
As a bell, your honor.
Proceed.
Mr.
O'Sullivan, I wish to remind
you that you are still under oath.
I'd like to apologize
for the previous outburst.
It's clear to me and to
everyone in this courtroom
How close you were
to Victor Musso.
You were his best friend,
his lifelong confidant.
And you would do anything
to protect him.
And his reputation.
That's true.
I'd like to show the witness
some photos, if I may.
Objection!
No.
No.
You can't.
There were no pictures
submitted during discovery.
Easy love, jury's watching.
Sidebar, your honor?
Please.
You can't let them see
those pictures.
Everything Vic worked
for would be ruined.
If you try and stop this, I'll
do those 30 days with bells on,
Just after I finish blurting it
out to the jury.
These could do irreparable harm to
the reputation of the deceased.
I don't know how this is
germane to the case.
It speaks to the accusation that
Clara was stealing from her husband.
I don't want to besmirch
a good man if I don't have to.
But I do reserve the right
to present these in open court.
I take your point, counselor.
All right.
Please.
Thank you.
You want to see Clara Musso
locked up for ***.
She betrayed
a man who loved her.
She was sleeping
with his son for God sakes.
Well, thanks
to Dr.
Lightman,
That's been exposed as a lie.
She was stealing from him.
Which you knew about.
And yet you never said a word.
He was completely
under her spell.
I was protecting him.
Well, I submit to you that
Clara was doing the same.
Protecting him.
And the money you say my
client was stealing from him
Was in fact being put
to a good and noble cause.
Am I being clear enough
here, Mr.
O'Sullivan?
Perfectly, counselor.
You also knew she didn't
kill her husband, sir.
But you thought she deserved to
go to prison anyway, didn't you?
Because after all, you had built
a company and a reputation
Side-by-side with Victor
for 25 years.
And overnight, your best friend
became a different person.
Clara had displaced you.
No! When it mattered,
Vic called me.
There we go.
Watch this.
Hold on to your seat, love.
Like when
it came to his health?
That's fear.
But without shame.
He's proud of what he did.
You didn't *** him, Leo.
He asked you to end
his life, didn't he?
Objection!
Overruled.
How was Mr.
Musso's health
just prior to his death?
You're under oath.
He was
Secretly very sick.
And that's why he wanted you
to help him end his life,
To assist his suicide.
Isn't that right?
Objection, your honor!
The court is very interested
in Mr.
O'Sullivan's answer.
He had a degenerative
brain disease.
Doctors gave him
a month or two.
You bought the cyanide
and the syringe.
He called you to his home.
And you gave him that
injection, didn't you?
Your honor!
Judge: Take your seat.
Victor was devout.
I mean, to him suicide
was a mortal sin.
I couldn't say no to my friend.
Which is why you never told
him that Clara was stealing.
Because he was dying.
Why break his heart on top
of everything else?
Do you have proof
it wasn't a ***?
He left a video explaining.
Now that right there.
That is shame.
I think his widow has
a right to see that.
But I didn't imagine
that I'd meet a woman
Who would understand me
so completely.
Our marriage was a gift, Clara.
Happiest 10 years of my life.
I wouldn't let anything
tarnish that.
Zoe says that Leo
is pleading guilty
To obstruction
of justice and manslaughter.
And they're working out a deal.
That's good then.
Thank you for everything.
I should have
trusted you sooner.
Well, I could say
the same thing.
I've got a meeting waiting.
She's a beautiful woman.
She's my Leo.
What about Zoe?
Well, to say you stopped
loving someone you once loved
More than anything else in the
world, I mean that would be a lie.
But you move on.
Don't you?
You have to move on.
She's my daughter's mum.
Sometimes sparring partner.
Any other women
populating your life?
None you need to worry about.
I'm taking over Victor's
businesses and charities.
Oh yeah?
People are going to come
after me.
They think I'm weak.
I need someone I can trust.
Well, you got my number.
So, to speak.
My point is, right,
That the reason that we won
Was because the whole truth
came out.
Which--no, cause it doesn't
normally happen in a courtroom.
Mm-hmm.
Why'd you take this case?
I thought it'd be a bit of fun.
That's not it.
Not really.
Well, it's your first
time out there.
It's a big national case.
You were protecting me?
Oh, that's so sweet.
And paternalistic
and patronizing.
Yeah.
You got a point there.
Hmm.
No, but look.
If you get
a guilty woman off,
You're a punch line.
If you convict an innocent
man, you're a joke.
You've worked far too hard
to get where you are.
You deserve a bit of respect.
Not infamy.
Still waiting for you
to get what you deserve.
Well, I'm 2 steps
ahead of the hangman.
Emily's sleeping at a friend's.
What? The whole night?
- All right.
- I'll get the check.
