So, do l get my kiss or not?
Tara, the way mistIetoe works is the one standing under it...
is the one to receive.
WeII, l prefer to meet in the middIe.
WeII, l do enjoy your middIe tremendousIy...
but a kiss reaIIy is more traditionaI.
Ah, the anticipation is pure- SaIIy.
Hi. The Iast thing l want to do is come between aII that coIIagen...
but, Alan, we have a little problem...
and, Iike it or not, you're probabIy the best man to fix it.
This is Carmen FIores. She works in housekeeping here.
Her ex-husband kidnapped her two chiIdren.
This is the third Christmas he's done so.
He brings them to Peru, when it's Carmen who has custody of them for the hoIidays.
- Can't you just go to the judge? - She did that Iast year.
And it cost her a fortune. Thejudge held him in contempt for a day.
He said it's worth it to spend Christmas with his kids in Peru.
His flight Ieaves tomorrow night. l thought maybe you couId think of something.
Didn't you used to be a lawyer, Sally?
Oh, l apoIogize. There go my Iips again. Must be aII that coIIagen.
Ladies, perhaps you two shouId kiss in the name of Christmas.
- [ Gasps ] - Oh, sorry, SaIIy.
lncredibIe dress, by the way. Hate you.
Ah, AIan. MistIetoe.
Mwah.
[ Whispers ] Whatever.

[ Man ] She came home that evening at 9:30...
catching an earIy flight to surprise her husband.
But it was the defendant who was surprised.
Susan May discovered her husband, RaIph...
making Iove to a business associate, Marie HoIcomb...
and it was more than she couId bear.
The evidence will show that the defendant...
retrieved a handgun from the kitchen...
returned to the bedroom and fired six shots-
three into her husband, three into Marie HoIcomb.
This is the hoIiday season.
You people should be home with your families right now.
I apologize for that.
Marie HoIcomb's mother and father...
fly here every December from the West Coast.
This time it's to attend the triaI of their daughter's kiIIer.
Susan May destroyed a lot ofhappy plans...
with that gun.
- Get in Christmas. - Sorry?
Christmas is ours and Susan's. Don't Iet him cIaim it.
l, too, wouId Iike to apoIogize...
for taking you away from your famiIies during this hoIiday season.
That's Susan's famiIy seated over there.
They would dearly love to be home with her.
She would dearly love to be home with them.
lmagine, if you can...
as you prepare for your Christmas...
having a Ioved one murdered.
Add to that the horror that the poIice can't figure out who did it.
And then, if you can possibIy fathom...
imagine they decide to arrest you.
That's your defendant, Iadies and gentIemen.
A Iaw-abiding, Ioving, faithfuI advertising executive.
An innocent woman whose whoIe Iife...
was just suddenIy and wrongIy destroyed.
That's your defendant...
and that's what the evidence wiII show.
l- l did caII poIice twice. They say domestic.
He returned the chiIdren both times after Christmas?
Yes. This why poIice say it is for court to decide.
No one invoIved.
Ah, Denny. This is Carmen Flores. She works here in housekeeping.
- ExceIIent. Why do l care? - Perhaps you don't.
First off, Iet me say how incredibIe you were Iast night.
The whoIe office is stiII... stunned.
Thank you.
Now, on a topic far removed from you...
and therefore much Iess entertaining...
though of some import to Carmen...
her chiIdren have been snatched by her ex-husband.
Who do you know at the Boston PoIice Department?
l know everybody.
You hear that, Carmen? The man knows everybody.
Her story didn't check out. lt's as simpIe as that.
That story she gave you was?
She came home, found them dead in bed.
Was there evidence of anyone other than the victims...
or the defendant being in the house that night?
- None. - And, Detective, describe for the jury if you can...
the defendant's demeanor when you arrived at the scene that night.
She seemed pretty shook up. There was bIood aII over her.
She claimed she got the blood on her...
when she went to her husband's side to see if she could revive him.
- And you don't beIieve that? - l'm sorry.
lt seems the detective is more than wiIIing...
to give testimony against my cIient.
- You don't reaIIy need to Iead him. - Sustained.
Did you beIieve the defendant's cIaim?
No. It was determined that she was standing...
approximateIy five feet away when she fired the gun.
l'm sorry. l hate to be a nuisance.
- But did l miss the point where you said she fired the gun? - Sustained.
Detective, what, if anything...
led you to believe that the defendant fred the gun?
We did a trace metaI test, which reveaIed she heId the gun...
and her fingerprints were on the gun.
Anything eIse?
We know her driver dropped her off at 9:30 p.m.
She caIIed the poIice at 1 1 :07.
She told us she discovered the bodies soon after she entered the house.
If so, why did she wait an hour and a half to call the police?
As I said, her story just didn't add up.
Seems from your tone, Detective, you consider this kind of a no-brainer.
We appIied our mentaI facuIties just the same and concIuded your cIient committed the crime.
You concIuded pretty quickIy, l might add. You pIaced her under arrest the next day.
By the way, was the spatter anaIysis done in a day?
No. That came in Iater.
l see. So when you pIaced Susan May under arrest, you were going on-
Her fingerprints were on the gun, for starters.
- lt was her gun, was it not? - The fingerprints were fresh.
Got there, perhaps, when she picked the gun up after?
We also had motive- her evasive demeanor.
- She caIIed the poIice, did she not? - Yes, but she wasn't truthfuI.
Wasn't truthfuI when she said she didn't shoot them?
That, and she obviousIy wasn't truthfuI...
about calling the police immediately after fnding the bodies.
- You had her examined by a psychiatrist that night? - Yes.
- The psychiatrist said she was in shock? - Yes.
PossibIe the shock of discovering her murdered husband caused the deIay in caIIing?
- l doubt that's what happened. - This doubt is based on your psychiatric training?
lt's based on 30 years of experience as a homicide detective.
Thirty years as a homicide detective...
toId you that the deIay in caIIing the poIice couId not have been caused by shock?
Let's turn back to the bIood spatter evidence.
This is the bIouse my cIient was wearing that evening, is it not?
- Yes. - Lot of bIood. That's aII spattering?
[ Detective ] Most of that blood came from handling the bodies.
[ Brad ] So where's the spatter you spoke of,Detective?
There are two eIongated markings on the Ieft shouIder.
- Right here? These tiny marks here? - Yes.
She supposedIy fired six shots. There's onIy two tiny marks?
The other marks are likely covered up with the blood from when she handled the bodies.
- Did you analyze these marks yourself,Detective? - l did.
Are you the person in the Boston PoIice Department who does this?
There are others, obviously, but I started in the lab, so I'm trained as well.
Was there anyone eIse in the Iab who anaIyzed this shirt?
- Yes. We have a junior member- -Junior member? lt's a high-profiIe case.
lt went to a junior member?
As I said, I analyzed the clothes with my 30 years-
- Thirty years in the Iab? - No.
- How many years in the lab? - Five.
How about the junior member? How many years did he have?
- l'm not sure. - More than five?
- l beIieve so. - Just out of curiosity, what was his fnding?
lnconcIusive.
- He couId not determine that my cIient fired a gun? - Nor couId he ruIe it out.
He could not determine that my client fred a gun.
Correct. But l determined she did.
You trace-metaIed my cIient. Did you test for powder residue on her hand?
- Yes. She tested negative. - Gee, how couId that be?
We determined that she IikeIy wore gIoves when she fired the gun.
So she was carefuI to wear gIoves when she shot them...
then afterwards she took the gIoves off and handIed the gun?
If she went into shock, she probably made a mistake. Murderers often do.
So for the purpose of expIaining the deIay in caIIing the poIice, you don't buy shock.
But to explain why she picked up the murder weapon barehanded...
after fring with gloves, you do buy shock.
- ln fact, you seem to be seIIing it. - Objection.
Withdrawn. Did you find the gIoves?
No.
You searched the entire house? l don't want to presume.
We searched the house. We did not find the gIoves.
Any evidence of her Ieaving the house after she came home that night?
No.
Any unsoIved burgIaries in this neighborhood in the Iast year?
A coupIe.
That went weII, right?
Mm-hmm. lt went extremeIy weII.
The probIem, Susan, as we've expIained...
the burden of proof is reaIIy on us.
l stiII don't understand that, as much as you keep saying it.
When you have the scorned wife being the onIy one there, her fresh fingerprints on the gun-
Trust me. We'II argue burgIar. But with no sign of a break-in-
- So my chances are the same? - No. We did very weII with the witness today.
Our chances just got a little bit better.
But if we just- We stick to the pIan.
We'd Iike you to meet with Dr. WayIon one more time.
Why?
ln case we need to caII him, we want to be ready.
l'm not reaIIy comfortabIe being treated Iike some patient.
Susan, you put your Iife in our hands, did you not?
You need to Iet us do what we do.
Can l ask you something?
l'm not sure why l want to ask this now...
but... do you beIieve me?
l don't know. l certainIy want to beIieve you...
but when l Iook at the evidence-
l at Ieast appreciate your candor.
The question the jury's going to be asking:
lf not you, then who?
And we've got no answer for that.
The fataI wounds for both victims were to the head.
Death was instantaneous.
And, Doctor, were you abIe to determine the time of death?
Between 9:30 and 9:45 p.m.
Doctor, did you examine the stomach contents of the victims?
- Yes. - What did you find?
- They were both reIativeIy fuII. - After eating...
how long does food stay in the stomach before emptying into the small intestine?
GeneraIIy one to two hours.
So if the victims finished dining by 7:30 as reported...
those stomachs shouId have been empty.
Unless they were killed before 9:30, correct?
Or unIess they ate again after Ieaving the restaurant.
Were there any signs, to your knowledge, that they had eaten at home?
- Dirty dishes? Recent garbage? - To my knowIedge, there was no evidence of that.
Thank you.
But they couId have stopped on their way home from the restaurant-
had dessert or something?
WeII, not a medicaI question, but yes, possibIe.
[Judge ] You may step down, sir.
Mr. Shubert?
The prosecution rests, Your Honor.
[Judge ] Miss Colson.
[ Whispering ] Let's Iet them see some serious thinking going on.
- What's your take on free agency? - lt's kiIIing basebaII.
- Hockey? - No saIary cap, no hockey.
- Soccer? - Nobody cares.
Your Honor, the defense caIIs Susan May.
lt's just that we regard it more as a domestic custody dispute.
Her recourse wouId be with probate.
WeII, there's where we're wrong, Denny.
l thought if you physicaIIy grab somebody and hauI them off to a foreign country...
it wouId be a crime.
- WeII, l'II be damned. - So we're wrong then. By the way...
does one need to be related to the victim to escape charges?
There's this Junior Mint l've had my eye on.
l thought l might borrow her for a Iong weekend. Perhaps the Bahamas.
As we understand it, the father always brings the kids back.
That's what l'd do. Be a joyride.
We're wasting time here, and you two Iook Iike good men. Department's fuII of good men.
That's why Denny Crane and this frm invest so much money in your annual ball.
You'll arrest the husband because 'A, '' Denny Crane wants you to and ''B''-
l pIay poker with some reporters, one in particuIar who'd be curious...
as to why ethnic chiId snatchings don't get your attention.
- And ''C''- - The children were kidnapped.
- And ''D''- - You're officiaIIy on notice.
You're good when you get testy.
Came easy today. My baIIs hurt.
Let's have that be the one and onIy time you teII me that.
l was hurrying home because, weII...
l had been away for about a week...
and l was excited to see him.
And when you got home?
l puIIed into the garage, went into the kitchen, caIIed out his name.
His car was there, so l was sure he was home.
lt was onIy about 9:30. l couIdn't imagine him being in bed.
But... he was.
- And not aIone? - No.
[ Lori ] What happened, Susan?
[ Susan ] I started upstairs. I called out his name again.
Still no response.
Then I went to the bedroom...
Iooked in...
a-and l saw it.
Saw what?
At first,just bIood.
And then I saw one body, and then another.
[ Lori ] What did you do?
[ Susan ] I frst screamed.
l Iooked at my husband. [ Panting ]
His eyes were open, and there was a hoIe in his tempIe.
And I went to him to see ifhe was still breathing.
[ Lori ] Was he?
No.
What happened next?
- l don't know. - You don't know?
[ Sighs ]
l remember taIking to the poIice at some point.
l remember l- them taking RaIph away.
- But- - Do you remember calling the police?
- No. - Do you remember touching the gun?
- No. - Seeing the gun?
No.
That's a reaIIy convenient memory Ioss, don't you think?
You recall not doing it, fnding the bodies dead.
But as for your fingerprints on the murder weapon...
why you gave the police false information after...
delaying in calling the police, gee-
-Just can't remember. - Objection.
What a perfect way to tell your story without really being subject to cross-examination.
Was this amnesia your idea, or was it your attorney's?
- [ Both ] Objection. - Sustained.
Nothing further.
[Judge ] The witness may step down.
The defense caIIs Dr. Herbert WayIon.
Approach?
This witness is not on their Iist.
- He's on the rebuttaI Iist. - What's he being caIIed to rebut?
You just accused my cIient of faking her memory Ioss.
Short Ieash, counseI.
Step back.
Dr. Herbert WayIon.
Come here. Just get up and down.
- Sorry? - You don't need to ask the 64,000-doIIar question.
- Because? - He wiII.
And then he can't object to it.
[ Waylon ] It's basically a form of post-traumatic amnesia.
She saw her husband murdered, and it triggered a blackout.
- She bIacked out for an hour. - In terms of memory.
She wasn't unconscious. She couId've been sitting in a catatonic state.
She possibly even watched television.
The prosecution thinks that her memory Ioss was... convenient.
Well, I personally examined this woman the day after the murders.
She was suffering from dissociative amnesia then, as l beIieve she is now.
Thank you, Doctor.
He's your witness.
l hope you're right.
You can't state to a medical certainty...
that the defendant suffered from post-traumatic amnesia, can you?
To a medicaI certainty, no.
And you can't medicaIIy ruIe out the possibiIity...
that the defendant puIIed the trigger that night, can you, Doctor?
- Bingo. - [ Waylon ] No, I cannot rule it out.
In fact, while I happen to believe her version of the events...
l make room for a compIeteIy different scenario.
Which is?
WeII, it's possibIe she Iooked into this bedroom...
saw her husband making Iove to another woman...
and that threw her into a dissociative state.
And in that state, she shot them.
l'm sorry. Are-
You're now saying maybe she kiIIed them?
[ Waylon ] Well, I believe she found them dead as she says.
But it's possible that she saw them making love, went into a dissociative state-
something we refer to medicaIIy as automatism-
and in that state, she may have killed them.
Then her brain creates a false memory...
of something less horrifying to her.
l have nothing further.
Her brain created a faIse memory?
[ Waylon ] Yes. Sometimes if a person's actions are repugnant to them...
they can actually create a false version that is more psychologically acceptable.
- And they beIieve this as the truth? - AbsoIuteIy.
So it's possible that she committed the murders?
No. Murder suggests an intent she wouId've been incapabIe of.
If she did this- and I'm not saying that she did-
she wouId've IikeIy Iost aII conscious controI.
She wouId've acted outside herseIf.
And as a defense, her brain would have manufactured this other memory...
that she waIked in and found them aIready dead.
Your Honor, chambers.
Theyjust backdoored insanity. That's an affrmative defense.
- They did not pIead it. - We're not arguing it.
The witness just testified she Iost aII conscious controI.
That witness was simply called to rehabilitate.
You're the one who impeached my client's truthfulness. You said she was feigning memory loss.
You went beyond my cross. Your Honor, this is a pIoy.
They're trying to sneak in aIternative defenses. ''A,'' she didn't do it.
And ''B,'' if she did do it, she was insane.
Did you coach the witness to get in insanity?
l caIIed a witness to rehabiIitate, to support her cIaim of memory Ioss.
Knowing fuII weII he beIieved the possibiIity...
that she committed the murders whiIe in a dissociative state.
l did not eIicit that testimony: he did.
Your Honor, if we wanted to argue insanity, we simply could have pled it.
Except you don't want to argue it, counseI.
You want to argue not guiIty and have insanity as a faIIback.
Two defenses for the price of one.
l'm sure you'II properIy instruct against insanity.
- Yes. And l'm sure the jury wiII Iisten. - l move for immediate mistriaI.
Mr. Shubert, you opened the door on aII this with your cross.
- Which was their pIan. - Maybe so.
But you did the damage.
I'll give you time to call your own experts, but the case goes on.
Mr. Chase, Miss Colson...
l keep scorecards of aII the Iawyers who appear before me.
Now you're being desperate.
- Too much? -Just a bit.
l never figured you to pIace quite such a premium on a kiss.
A kiss is the promise of what's to come, Tara.
A kiss is... the Christmas Eve of sex.
l actuaIIy favor...
the Christmas Eve...
of Christmas Eve.
l'm sorry?
lt's not the part where the Iips actuaIIy touch.
lt's the part just before that...
when they're so cIose...
when you know it's about to happen.
You can aImost feeI it...
taste it.
l Iike that bit to Iast forever.
Don't you just Iove...
to make it Iast... forever?
No.
Mr. Shore? I'm sorry. There's a man here.
He says he's delivering gifts for you and Mr. Crane.
And he says it's urgent. Mr. Crane is out of the offce.
- Gifts? - Mm-hmm.
- May l heIp you? - Are you AIan Shore?
Not if you're a process server.
- [ AII Screaming ] - Shut up! You shut up!
Somebody shut down the eIevators!
If I hear them go ding, I'm gonna shoot this man in the head.!
Sir, l must teII you the Iast time somebody pointed a gun at me...
they shot me, and it hurt terribIy.
You think this is a joke? You got me arrested!
You got my kids taken away! My kids are aII l've got!
WeII, it seems you have a gun. Perhaps if you trade the gun-
- [ Gunshot ] - [ AII Screaming ]
AII right. This is between you and me.
You have a hostage. Everybody eIse...
pick a door and get behind it now.
Let's clear the floor.
KiII the eIevators! KiII the phones!
Everybody go into an office, cIose the door, now.
[ Man ] Let's do as he says.
[ Woman ] Hurry.
[ Woman #2 ] Come on. Come on.!
Okay, Mr. FIores, Iet's taIk.
[ Flores ] Christmas is family.
l go to Peru to be with famiIy. My kids are part of that.
I understand, sir. It's not what the ''No Child Left Behind Act''had in mind-
l'm going to kiII you.
l'd prefer you didn't.
His name is Julio. We believe his last name is Flores.
Yes, he's aIready fired a round, so the gun is cIearIy Ioaded.
- Fourteenth floor. That's right. Thank you. - Yes, you can caII me.
61 7-5 5 5-01 97.
You're here because of your chiIdren.
So I'll ask you to think about your children.
If you go to prison, they lose their father.
With an arrest, l'm gonna Iose aII custody.
They aIready Iost their father.
The first forensic speciaIist to anaIyze the bIood spatter pattern...
said they were inconcIusive.
This is a police expert, by the way.
He said the spatters could not prove that she fred a gun.
- [ Sirens WaiIing ] - He's asking you to believe...
that she wore gloves to commit the crime to explain the lack of powder residue on her hands.
Then she took the gIoves off to handIe the murder weapon.
Is it possible there was a burglar?
The prosecution certainIy can't eIiminate the idea.
And, yes, it's possibIe that Susan May...
seeing her husband making Iove with another woman, went into a dissociative state...
acted outside of her conscious controI.
But it doesn't really matter whether she pulled that trigger or not...
because she formed no legal mental intent to do so...
which is an eIement of the crime.
Reasonable doubt as to whether or not she did it.
No evidence of intent, even if she did.
All leads to the same verdict.
Not guiIty.
- lt's been aImost 30 minutes. - [ Sirens Wailing ]
You have to know the buiIding is surrounded by now.
The poIice are probabIy on every floor.
l don't care. My Iife has ended anyway.
No evidence of anyone eIse being there but the defendant.
Time of death:9:45, 1 5 minutes after she arrived home.
And as to why the defendant waited a full hour and a halfbefore calling the police-
Oh, yes! The dissociative state.
That's handy.
However upset you may be, sir,you must realize that what you are doing is insane.
l wonder why they didn't pIead insanity.
Because there was no powder residue on her hands?
How to explain insanity...
yet have presence of mind to wear gloves?
That's a tough one.
These are very good Iawyers.
You think you're such a great lawyer?
You feeI Iike a great Iawyer now, Mr. Shore? Huh?
l feeI Iike a busy one.
So if you're gonna shoot me, Iet's do it. l have pIans.
- What happened? - l don't know. l can't see.
[ Tara ] Okay, I see Alan. He's all right.
[ Man On Megaphone ] Sir, the phone is going to ring.
I want you to pick it up, and we want you to talk to us.
No!
Seen all the police outside? We must have a jumper.
l hope it isn't PauI.
Denny,you know what's going on?
Why are you women in my office?
You really don't realize what's happening?
[ Man On Megaphone ] The building is surrounded, sir. There's nowhere for you to go.
l think l do. Let's take off our cIothes.
A man has a gun trained on AIan Shore out there.
That's why the poIice are here.
- [ Man On Megaphone ] You won't get hurt, sir. - Out there?
- He's threatening to kiII him. - Calm down, sir.
Why didn't anybody come and get me?
- [ Indistinct Shouting ] - AII right then.
Are you mad?
Mr. Crane, l reaIIy don't think that's a good idea.
- lt's a fantastic idea. - Denny, the poIice are aIready here.
Yes, l can see they got everything under controI.
Sir, wejust want to have a conversation.
lf that phone even rings, l'II shoot! Do you hear me?
Tara, when l say open, you open that door.
- l certainIy wiII not! - l'm an ex-marine!
I was a trained sniper. Or was it a pilot?
- [ Man On Megaphone ] Mr. Flores? - Don't use my name!
Put that gun down. You'II get everybody kiIIed.
[ Man On Megaphone ] Sir,you need to let your hostage go.
- [ Flores ] No.! - We want to negotiate.
That's AIan out there!
[ Man On Megaphone ] If you'll just answer the phone.
l'm mainIy a skeet shooter now.
So when l yeII ''puII,'' that'II be your cue to yank open the door.
- You are mad. - Don't be ridicuIous.
- [ Man On Megaphone ] Pick up the phone. - Don't make it ring!
I'm warning you. I'll shoot. Do you hear me?
- [ Phone Ringing ] - PuII!
- [ Gasps ] - [ Indistinct Shouts ]
- Got one down. - Got him.
Get that weapon.!
[ Man ] Sergeant, keep everybody away.
Is it clear?
Denny Crane.
ls he- ls he gonna Iive?
Took a hit to the shouIder. He'II be fine.
Tom DeLay is a friend of mine.
He advised me to keep a rifle in the office.
My question is did it appear the suspect was about to shoot Mr. Shore...
when you decided to take him out?
No. Why the heII wouId l wait for that?
- [ Sighs ] - [ Tara ] Can I get you some more water?
PIease. lt's vodka.
You're stiII freaking.
l thought that was it.
The way l've Iived my Iife...
l've aIways beIieved homicide is what God has pIanned for me.
lt's nice to know you beIieve in God.
WeII, it's a Iaw now in this country, isn't it?
l Iove you.
l don't want to marry you.
I'm not even sure I want to date you.
But l Iove you.
And for your information, since you love me as well...
this is the point where the boy utters something poeticaIIy romantic...
Iike, ''Me too.''
Or perhaps something a IittIe Iess on the nose Iike, ''You smeII good.''
Are you trying to diffuse my trauma, because if so-
No. l nearIy died once...
and l remember thinking at the time of those who wouId grieve.
And I wondered whether or not I was loved.
You are.
More vodka?
PIease.
You smeII good.
The defendant wiII pIease rise.
Madam Foreperson, thejury has reached a unanimous verdict?
- We have, Your Honor. - What say you?
On the charges of murder in the frst degree...
we fnd the defendant, Susan May, not guilty.
- [ Murmuring ] - On the charges of murder in the second degree...
we find the defendant, Susan May, not guiIty.
- Oh, my God. - Thejury is dismissed with the thanks of the court.
- We're adjourned. - [ Pounds Gavel ]
Thank you.
[ CIamoring ]
[ Sighs ]
l don't know what to say to you.
You've given me my life back.
The doctors say you've stiII got a Iot of heaIing ahead of you, Susan.
Let your famiIy take care of you.
Um, that theory Dr. WayIon had...
that my brain is tricking me...
making me beIieve that l found them dead, when reaIIy-
Does he beIieve that?
