A friend of mine has been charged with murder.
I want you to represent him.
He told you about our arrangement?
If we get your friend released, you'll leave us alone?
That was the deal.
We finish this now, whatever it takes,
and put the Morolto family behind us.
Alan Harper is a problem;
he is smart, ambitious, thorough...
How thorough?
Why, is there something that he shouldn't find out?
In college, there was a girl...
- Wendy Vail? - Yes.
She filed a complaint against me with the campus police.
He tried to choke you?
I tried to stop him. I told him to stop.
But the look in his eyes, it was rage.
I'm upset about what I said on the stand,
that I knew he wanted to kill me.
It wasn't like that.
Why did you lie?
Mr. Harper was pushing me.
- Did you coach that witness? - No, I did not!
Somebody got to her!
We are moving that Alan Harper be disqualified...?
Have your office assign someone else, you're out.
Good work should be rewarded.
You're not cut out to be boss.
You kill Antonio, but McDeere still lives?
Well, there's the door.
[Rapid gunfire]
Well, he knows I'm here.
Mr. Morolto's in a business meeting.
You want to go tell him to hurry up?
[Pained gasps]
Anything?
Not yet.
He's Johnny's brother, he doesn't want to talk.
Johnny Ducks...
One of my father's best guys.
I don't know who took the shot,
but Johnny had to give the order.
We'll find him.
And the worst part is, he's one of my best earners.
Killing him's gonna cost me money.
Listen, boss...
We need to talk.
I mean, all this fighting within the family...
We still gotta do business out there.
- We've got a big problem. - How big?
About the size of Moscow.
The Russians are stepping things up.
They hijacked two of our trucks this week alone.
They put cash on the streets.
Cut our interest rate by seven percent.
I'll deal with the Russians.
We need to send a message.
I said I'll deal with it!
Right now, I got one concern:
Ending Johnny Ducks.
[Pained grunts continue]
Frank...
I get it.
Johnny's your brother,
you don't want to give up where he's hiding.
But you will.
I could beat it out of you, old-school, or...
We could try something a little more progressive.
You give me his location,
and I give you his book of business.
[Panting]
I try to bring you people into the 21st Century.
[Grunting]
What's up?
Just making sure that we're on the same page.
You know that I'm moving forward
with the theory that Patrick was framed.
By Antonio, we talked about this.
You understand what that means.
That if we argue that Antonio framed Patrick,
we have to tell the jury why.
He was jealous.
They both wanted to be my top guy.
That means we have to admit to the jury
that you are the head of a mob family.
- Not an option. - I agree.
We need to claim that you run a legitimate business.
And Antonio and Patrick were both legal employees
jockeying for position for their boss.
No problem.
Come back later,
I'll get you whatever you need to prove my company is legit.
Joey!
I don't like this!
Paying off witnesses, taking down prosecutors,
lying about your business...
It's just not who I am.
Let me tell you something...
I wasn't supposed to run this family.
My father never wanted this for me,
but you sent him to prison.
And I wanted revenge.
So I became everything I never wanted to be.
And now I can repay the favour.
I can make you everything you didn't want to be.

The Firm 01x21 Chapter 21 Original Air Date: June 16, 2012
==sync, correction by dcdah== www.addic7ed.com
[♪]
That's horrifying, who was he?
I don't know, I've never seen him before...
At least I don't think so.
He was pretty beaten up.
And we're supposed to argue
that Joey's a legitimate businessman?
It's our only play.
We can't tell the jury that Patrick's
the new consigliere for the Italian mob.
Why not?
At least then maybe I'd actually believe that he was framed.
You know, a rival mobster puts a dead guy in your bed,
a rival co-worker... Not so much.
The mob angle helps Patrick's defence,
but it also exposes Joey and Patrick
to Federal racketeering charges.
Okay. That's a wrinkle.
[Door opens]
Knock knock!
Tammy!
Hi!
- Hey, welcome home. - Thank you.
Congratulations on your divorce.
That's not something you hear everyday.
Oh, ignore him, he's just angry
'cause I told him we're getting married this weekend.
This weekend, wow! That's - that's fast.
Exactly.
I don't like being told when I'm getting married.
Oh, please.
We're working for Joey Morolto,
we could go back into wit-pro at any point.
If that happens, I want it to be five McDeeres,
not four and a Hemphill.
Very romantic.
It is to me!
Be insulted, but be on time
'cause we're having a wedding this weekend.
If we lose this case,
you will be starting your honeymoon on the run.
Oh yeah, Ray filled me in on everything.
So I'm here now, how can I help?
You and I are choosing a jury tomorrow.
I want you to get started on the jury questionnaires.
And, Ray...
Get back to the victim's timeline.
Charlotte left Joey's club at 10:12pm,
and Patrick claims he found her body in his bed
at 1:19am.
Which leaves a gap of about 3 hours.
She drove away from the club in her car,
I'm gonna start there.
I'm gonna go with you.
I'll go see Joey, our legitimate businessman.
So you're saying Charlotte's car was also impounded?
Police found it parked in Patrick's garage,
but there's no record of when it got there.
- So what are we looking for? - A GPS.
It's a long shot,
but maybe she punched in an address
before she left the club.
This is it.
- You know the drill, don't touch anything. - Thank you.
- Not our lucky day. - No GPS.
It's pretty clean, actually, too clean.
Hey...
[Quietly] Cover me.
Whoever cleaned out the car missed something.
Wc...
Uh, Wiltern Condominiums, that's where Charlotte lived.
Right...
It's okay, boss, take it easy.
I thought you said we were
keeping the mob out of this trial!
- I am working on it. - Yeah, well, not hard enough.
The prosecution served me with a subpoena this morning!
It's just a subpoena,
it doesn't mean they get to ask you about the family.
Right, I'm sure the prosecution
just wants to show the jury what an upstanding guy I am.
Look...
I'm not testifying.
Not for you, and not for the government.
Not unless I get a guarantee
that I won't be asked about the mob.
It is a courtroom, Joey, there are no guarantees.
Then I'm out.
I can file a motion asking the court
to exclude any mention of organized crime.
Then you do that.
Otherwise, you're going to have to defend Patrick without me.
Thank you for your help.
I already told the police.
Charlotte was here the night she was killed.
Here, you sure?
Of course, I'm the night attendant.
I saw her drive in just after 10:30.
Can we prove that with the key card?
You need the card to enter the garage,
and when you swipe, it gets logged into the system.
Charlotte was always real nice.
Sorry, but I hope they fry your client.
They don't fry people anymore.
Okay, that's not from the right night.
No, that's the date.
Something's wrong.
What do you mean?
I was here, I saw Charlotte drive in,
but, according to the log, she never came home.
Do you think somebody might have changed the log?
I don't think so.
I mean, maybe,
but you need access to the main server.
Why would someone do that?
She's asleep.
God, it must be so weird
to be the only kid in school
being followed around by Federal Marshals.
At least we know she's safe during the day.
I'll tell you what.
It could be true, Patrick could have been framed.
You think?
An anonymous tip for a drunk driver,
a garage log that was changed...
You know, very professionally done.
We should go to Charlotte's apartment.
If she went home after she left the club,
she could have been killed there.
Maybe someone drove her car to Patrick's garage.
Look out, honey,
she's gunnin' for your job.
I'll ask for a court order to inspect her apartment.
How's it going with the jury questionnaire?
I got some good ideas.
'Who's your favorite Beatle?' I can't ask that, Tammy.
It is the perfect question.
People who say John are anti-establishment
and more liberal-minded.
Pauls seem more liberal-minded,
but, if you look closer,
they're actually more conservative.
George wasn't conservative.
George, you could go either way;
he's got that tolerant spiritual side,
but he was also the victim of a crime.
And Ringo? Nobody likes Ringo the best!
They say Ringo, they're hiding something.
Okay, speaking about hiding something,
how are you gonna keep the mob out of this trial?
I'm not sure, the hearing's tomorrow morning.
Okay, we should let you get some rest.
Come on, Tammy, let's hit the road.
Actually, babe,
I'm gonna stay here tonight.
Tonight, and every night before our wedding.
Wow, you serious?
That is a really bad idea.
It's romantic - and you wanted romance.
I'll show you romance tonight at home.
Oh, come on, it'll make our wedding night
that much more special.
I want to blow your mind after we say I do.
You put her up to this?
Don't look at me,
I'm just the Maid of Honor.
[Chuckles]
Mr. Morolto, what's your connection to Patrick Walker?
My attorney can answer that.
To be clear, I don't represent Mr. Morolto.
Patrick Walker is my client.
And we look forward to a fair trial.
[Reporters calling out]
Thank you for bringing Joey to the courtroom for the cameras.
You're making my case for me.
Olivia Danville.
I requested the assignment after you got Alan Harper bounced.
Look, I don't know what you heard about that...
Oh, I heard enough from Alan.
Let's just say he's my mentor.
And you're going to miss him a lot.
Your Honor, this is a murder case.
The mob has no relevance.
A lot of things have no relevance, Mr. McDeere.
And yet you felt the need
to file a motion specifically excluding the mob.
Because the prosecution subpoenaed Mr. Joseph Morolto.
Mr. Morolto is a legitimate businessman
which these documents clearly prove.
Oh please, Mr. Morolto is the head
of the Morolto Crime Family based in Chicago.
If you could prove that, he would be under arrest.
Our theory is that Patrick Walker was framed.
The man responsible is a rival employee
in Mr. Morolto's company.
His name was Antonio Cervino,
he was not an employee; He was a mobster.
A mobster who was shot twice in the head,
execution-style, just last week.
We don't know anything about that, your Honor.
How convenient.
Your Honor, Patrick Walker was not framed
by his co-worker.
Co-workers do not kill people
and then leave them in their bedroom.
Judge: Exactly.
But are you sure you want to bring the mob into this?
If I were you, I'd consider leaving it out.
I think the jury should know
that the defendant is a mobster,
not an upstanding businessman.
Well, I don't agree.
This murder was about rough sex, not the mafia.
The mafia is a shiny object.
The kind that distracts jurors from actual evidence.
Thank you, your Honor.
Hold your applause, Mr. McDeere,
you've only half-won.
If the prosecution calls Mr. Morolto,
then they cannot bring the mob into the trial.
But if you're not careful, you will.
If you call Mr. Morolto,
and his testimony raises any red flags,
I will open the door.
Your Honor... That's only fair, counsel.
Mr. Morolto testifies at his own risk.
It's your call.
You may not touch, tamper, move,
or disturb anything in the apartment.
[Shutter clicks]
Hey, I'll have to confiscate that.
No pictures. You never said no pictures.
You said don't touch anything.
That's not funny. That's not...
Is that video? [Shutter clicks]
That's unauthorized wire-tap of a Federal official.
Relax, we'll shoot one to your Facebook page.
According to the court order,
you may only inspect.
And inspect, from the Latin, inspectus,
to examine, look into.
Yes, exactly. Looking only.
Can we remember?
Of course.
Then think of it as a memory aide.
[♪]
[Shutter clicks]
Red flags? That's a joke.
Of course they get to decide
what is or isn't a red flag.
I told you, Joey,
in the courtroom, there are no guarantees.
And I told you keep my family out of this trial,
or find another defence.
Joey, listen, you can do this.
We rehearse your testimony.
Make sure you don't say anything that they can you against you.
No!
It's my only defence.
I understand that you want to protect yourself.
But I'm looking at life...
For a murder I did not commit.
I don't know who framed me, Joey.
Maybe it was Antonio.
But, whoever it was, the odds are
it's because of my association to you.
Oh, so I owe you?
That's what you're saying?
Look, this family's changing.
The future isn't loansharking,
it's a microchip factory in China.
I know.
For that to happen,
people need to see me as legit.
I can't have some federal prosecutor
calling me a mob boss in the papers.
It they try, you can always take the fifth.
Actually, there are consequences
to taking the fifth.
You have restaurants.
They could pull your liquor license.
No, the judge won't be fair.
The minute I get up there,
he'll find a reason to open the door.
You don't know that.
I'm sorry, Patrick.
I can't risk it.
If the framed defence won't work without me,
find something else.
Well that was a waste of time.
I don't think so. Look at this.
Her glasses and contacts are still there?
She got ready for bed.
She was staying in for the night.
Not only that,
how did she drive to Patrick's without one or the other?
Maybe she didn't. Her killer did.
So that's it?
The framed theory's gone? No.
Patrick could testify to the rivalry with Antonio.
It just won't be nearly as effective
without you supporting his defence.
You should have seen this coming.
You didn't tell me I had to testify.
Joey...
You said if Antonio was out of the way
that we could argue that he framed Patrick.
And we can.
I'm just not sure it will work without you.
You're not sure?
What the hell good is that to me?
I don't need you to not be sure.
I'm sorry!
You're sorry.
I killed one of my best men.
A man who was loyal to my father
and this family for forty years.
I didn't ask you to do that.
You said we needed him out of the way!
No, I said he was standing in the way of our best defence.
You didn't kill him to help Patrick's case,
you killed him because you were afraid.
You knew he was angry about Patrick.
You wanted him gone!
- That's not true. - It is true.
Now, if you want me to win this case,
then stop questioning everything I do
- and let me do my job. - You lied to me!
You said the framed defence would work.
And it might.
But not without you taking some risks.
[Loud shot]
Go ahead, tell me about taking risks.
I kept you alive to do this job. [Loud ringing]
If you can't do any beter than this...
then maybe I don't need you to do it at all.
[Abby] So we know that Charlotte went home when she left the club.
But we can't prove anything
because the garage log got changed.
But the night attendant saw her
so we don't need the log.
And also, we have her contacts and her glasses.
Circumstantial, that's what's Mitch is gonna say, right?
Mitch?
Right.
So you think Charlotte was murdered in her apartment?
It's possible.
Well then go back to her building.
Somebody there had to see or hear something.
You okay?
Yeah, I think we should try for a plea.
Okay, but didn't Joey say no plea?
Actually, he said no plea under any circumstance.
I know, but we are running out of time.
I'm about to choose a jury
and I don't even have a defence.
The frame theory was always a stretch,
even before the mob element.
And to sell it, we need to put Joey on the stand
to support Patrick.
Joey's not gonna go for it.
Find something, Ray.
All we have are questions.
Do your job and find some answers.
[Door opens, closes]
Sorry.
It's cool. We're all on edge.
Something wrong with your ear?
No, no, no. I gotta call Danville.
In a minute.
You do some redecorating?
Where's your bar certificate?
Ray...
What happened?
Morolto wasn't happy that he killed Antonio
and that the frame theory was disqualified.
He admitted it?
So he fired a shot.
That's why you can't hear?
After you saved his life?
I pushed back, and he didn't like it.
- We can hit him. - Ray...
Look, I know that's not what we do,
but look around.
None of this is what we do.
You want out of this, then let's get Patrick out
and finish up our end of the deal.
What if Joey doesn't hold up his end?
Then we will talk about what we need to do
to protect this family.
I'll look into a plea.
You check out Charlotte's apartment.
You can't be serious. A plea?
I'm not asking you to set him free,
I'm asking what kind of time you would need.
Life.
So that we can prove that she was in his bedroom.
He got rid of her clothes, her body was in his trunk.
You said Alan Harper was your mentor.
What did he teach you about being overconfident?
Look, there are holes, Olivia.
You can't prove that Charlotte and Patrick
spoke at the club.
The anonymous tip sounds fake,
and I have a witness who says that Charlotte
went home that night, not to Patrick's apartment.
You really think you can sell this frame?
I think I have a shot, yeah.
And I think it gets better everyday.
And I think you know that.
If he's innocent, why plead? Maybe he won't.
But if the number's right, he'd be crazy not to consider it.
- Fifteen. - Ten.
Fifteen.
And only if the victim's parents sign off.
It's office policy in a murder charge.
[Knocking]
Charlotte was almost never here.
If she came home that night, I didn't see her.
Sounds? What kind of sounds?
Maybe a fight, screams.
Anything out of the ordinary.
Naw, Charlotte wasn't a screamer.
Mrs. Johannsen, two doors down,
she's a screamer.
My husband and I argue, that's not a crime.
Mr. What's-his-name can mind his business.
All I can say is I think she was here.
And not by herself. She had people with her.
- People? - I heard voices in the hallway.
Men's voices.
Thank you for meeting with me.
I know it can't be easy to consider a plea like this.
You're damn right.
I have a daughter of my own.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
Let me ask you something.
Did he kill Charlotte?
Your client, he wants a plea.
Is he admitting it?
No, not yet.
And to be honest,
I'm not even sure that he would take one.
But, given the evidence,
I would recommend that he take an offer very seriously.
No.
Mr. Miller...
Trials are living things.
They change and surprise you in ways
you can't expect or predict.
Meaning what?
I have a job to do.
I will argue that Patrick Walker was framed.
I don't want to.
The last thing I want to do
is go after your daughter's reputation.
To attack her history.
You would do that?
Yes.
I would hate to put you and your husband through that.
But, as I said to Ms. Danville,
i am not asking to let him go.
But if fifteen years puts him away
and saves you a trial...
We'll think about it.
We need time to discuss this.
Of course.
I didn't see Charlotte,
but something did happen that night.
- Something? - Some guy.
I was coming out of the laundry room.
Ms. Plunkett from five was coming in the front door
and some guy slipped in behind her.
He didn't use a key.
- You're sure this was the same night? - I'm sure.
Saturday night used to be my big night out.
Now, with three kids under the age of four,
the laundry room is my big weekend hang.
This guy, could you describe him?
Blonde, well-built.
Maybe six-two?
He gave me what my son calls 'the creepy crawlies'.
Blonde, so it couldn't have been Patrick. No.
This man, did he say anything to you?
No, he got in the elevator behind me
and just stood there, silent.
I was relieved when he got off at the third floor.
Charlotte's floor.
Now I wish I would have called the police,
but he could have been a guest.
I don't know for sure if this guy did anything wrong.
What do you think?
You made a decent case.
I'd say you gave them something to think about.
And you? [Phone rings]
I think your client's guilty, but fifteen years is real time.
Danville.
You're kidding.
When did it come up?
Okay, thanks, I'll be right there.
I can't prove that your client knew Charlotte Miller,
is that the big hole in my case?
One of them. Not anymore.
We swept Charlotte's apartment, took everything,
hairbrushes, toothbrushes,
an ashtray with a few cigarettes.
- So? - So DNA just came in.
Saliva test confirmed that those cigarettes were smoked
by your client.
Cigarettes are portable.
Whoever framed Patrick could've...
Save your breath, Mitch.
You're a good lawyer, but you're not that good.
Oh, and even if the Millers want a plea,
it's off the table.
Johnny: You know I'm right.
You want to stay with Joey Jr., or come with me...
A guy who knows how to run a family.
Antonio was loyal.
But Joey took him out...
To protect some kid he thinks is the future.
Who's next?
You, me?
We spent decades building this family.
Loansharking, hijacking...
I don't apologize.
But my future's here on the street,
not in some factory in Beijing.
[Phone rings]
Joey Jr.
Speak of the devil.
Your brother's in the ICU at Central.
Thought you might want to send flowers.
What did you do to him?
He was tougher than I thought.
Took him two whole hours to give you up.
I should have killed you when I had the chance.
I will not make that mistake again.
Come and get me.
Central Hospital, now!
[Loud explosion]
[Phone beeps]
You know what I'm gonna say.
I never met Charlotte Miller.
I was never inside her apartment.
Those cigarettes are not mine.
They're yours.
I know from experience, always challenge the DNA.
But odds are you smoked these cigarettes.
Then how did they end up inside Charlotte's apartment?
Only one of two ways.
You're either lying to me, and you left them,
or whoever's framing you... [Chuckles]
They know what they're doing.
I'm not lying to you.
Please, at least tell me that you believe that.
I'm staring to.
But all I can do is drive holes in the government's case.
We don't have a case of our own.
Look at this.
They call Johnny Ducks a Morolto mobster.
Can they do that?
You could sue them for libel,
but you would have to get on the stand.
You know what?
Let 'em talk. I feel good today.
What's next? Jury selection.
We get the wrong twelve, it doesn't matter what we argue.
This is where cases are either won or lost.
Okay, so I broke down every answer on the questionnaire,
and our perfect juror is an Italian mobster
who likes killing people and degrading women.
Okay, bad time for humor.
Here's the plan.
Strike anyone who doesn't seem to question authority.
I respect the police.
So if I suggested that a police officer had lied...
It's possible, but I had my purse stolen a few months ago,
and the officer was lovely.
Your Honor, we ask the court
to thank and excuse this juror.
Anti-establishment types are better for us.
But Danville's sharp,
I doubt she'll let any slip through.
So you're saying you don't believe
the government has the right to put the defendant on trial?
I'm saying I don't believe in government.
Excused.
A young woman was murdered,
so we can't have parents who see their own daughter
when they see the victim.
We have two boys and a girl.
Our daughter just started college.
We'd like to use a peremptory challenge, your Honor.
We need divorced men;
guys with money who won't resent Patrick's education and success,
but who think they got screwed.
My ex said she didn't want kids,
but s got remarried a year ago,
and she's pregnant.
We're using a peremptory challenge.
Patrick was framed,
we need someone who's been accused
of doing something they didn't do.
They said I stole money from petty cash.
I was fired.
I didn't even get to see the evidence.
Peremptory challenge, your Honor.
How's it going?
Ray: I look like a waiter!
[Chuckles]
You know how to tie one of these?
Raymond, you look very handsome.
Can I get you something else?
Coffee, maybe a dessert menu?
Oh, Tammy will love it.
Mitch tell you about the cigarettes they found
in Charlotte Miller's apartment?
Yeah.
Bad fact.
We can't just say Patrick was framed.
We need real evidence.
Juries aren't idiots.
Running out of time, Abbs.
We're gonna have to either fight back
or take off.
I don't know how much I have left, Ray.
After Noble. I know.
What about the club?
If Charlotte didn't talk to Patrick,
who else did she talk to?
Nobody.
Her girlfriend Melanie Reid,
but we didn't get anything on her.
Pulled some stills from the camera that night.
She spent the entire time talking to Melanie.
The only other person she spoke to
was the bartender.
Wait a minute, that wide angle...
Charlotte's neighbour,
the one who saw the guy enter without the key...
What was the description?
Blonde, well-built, six-two.
Maybe he didn't talk to her.
That could be him.
No objections to this juror.
The defence also has no objections, your Honor.
Ah, I love the smell of compromise.
The juror is seated.
And that makes six.
[Quietly] We're doing okay.
Four men and two women.
Not a Rush Limbaugh fan amongst them.
Four college graduates, two in finance,
mostly democrats.
So far, so good.
I'm a mechanical engineer.
[Whispers] Take a look at this one, I like this guy.
He's been studying the room.
Real detail oriented.
We'd like to thank and excuse.
Sidebar, your Honor.
Why the strike? He's an engineer.
Engineers are notoriously tough on prosecutors.
They want perfect proof.
That's not a valid reason.
I'm issuing a Batson challenge.
I think you struck him because he is Italian.
Oh, what difference does that make?
None to me.
But my office is not the one
connecting my client to Joey Morolto in the press.
He's right, Miss Danville, you need a better reason.
I'm seating him.
That makes seven.
I think we've done enough for today.
We'll pick up first thing tomorrow morning.
- How many jurors do you have? - Seven.
I hate to say it but with Harper gone,
we've got the edge.
It keeps gettin' better.
- Who is he? - We don't know,
but he was at Joey's club the night of the murder.
And Charlotte's building.
Our witness just confirmed it.
That's great work.
I'm telling you, this could be our guy.
We find him, you've got your defence.
You're obsessed.
[Sighs]
It's him.
He was watching Charlotte at the club.
When she left, he followed her
and got into her building.
Well, we don't know that he was watching her.
We know he was there.
So it's just a coincidence he got off on her floor?
If he was visiting,
why didn't someone buzz him in?
Why didn't he use a key?
You're right, it could be him.
[Knocking]
Hi, I just wanted to say goodnight.
'Night, Tammy.
Don't let Claire keep you up, talking all night.
Hey, are you kidding? Tammy's like the big sister.
[Whispers] You find out everything,
and then come and tell us.
I will.
Ray must be going crazy without her.
I think it's sweet.
You know, she just wants to make their wedding night special.
Romantic.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
Some things are worth waiting for.
Until the time is right.
- Who is he? - Well, I was hoping you guys could tell me.
He was at Roma the night of the murder.
So were a hundred other guys.
A hundred other guys didn't break into Charlotte's building
or get off on her floor.
Well look who's finally starting to bring his A-game.
My brother Ray is working his connections.
If he did time, Ray will be able to find him
and get us a name.
We should get his face out to the precincts.
There's got to be a cop or detective
who knows who he is.
Abby is meeting with Lewis Coleman.
He'll be able to check the Feds' database.
We'll reach out to our guys in uniform.
Oh, right, you're completely shocked
to hear the mob has a few cops in its pocket.
Even if we don't find him, this photo buys us a defence.
That, and the neighbour that saw him at the apartment.
That's true.
In fact, it might be better if we don't find him.
That way, we can build him up to be whoever we want to a jury.
No, I wouldn't go that way.
Without a name, we can argue that he did this,
but with a name, we can put him on the stand,
and confront him.
We'll find him.
[Sighs]
Judge: So close, and yet so far.
By my count, we have 11 jurors.
One more, and we have a panel.
And so now, we turn to seat number 12.
Mr. Gregory Burke.
Does the defence have any objections
to this juror?
[Quietly] What do you think?
I don't like him.
I saw we strike Burke, and seat the next guy,
the first alternate.
I don't know,
I've got a good feeling about Burke.
Are you kidding? He's ultra conservative.
He donates to police charities every year.
He's got a degree in physics,
he knows things aren't always as they seem.
Mitch, go with the alternate.
He helps immigrants pass their citizenship's exam.
Jackpot!
Judge: Mr. McDeere, you have one more strike.
Do you want to use it?
One question for the first alternate, your Honor,
if I may.
Quickly.
Mr. Ryerson...
If you'll humor me...
Who is your favourite beatle?
Ringo.
We accept juror number 12, your Honor,
Mr. Gregory Burke.
Excellent, we have our jury.
Congratulations, Mr. Ryerson.
You are our first alternate.
We're good.
I'll play these twelve.
Joey: I invited you here
in the spirit of forgiveness.
Johnny Ducks wasn't well.
He suffered from a serious condition
called delusions of grandeur.
We got problems, Joey.
Problems that don't go away
because you killed Johnny Ducks.
Oh, you got problems, all right.
And not just with me.
The Russians are coming.
Hell, they're already here.
And you know the way they operate.
Our rules, our code of conduct...
They don't know, and they don't care.
Mr. Morolto's right.
These guys are vicious.
We're looking at a war.
It's a dangerous time to be out on your own.
Right now, we gotta stick together.
And you'd let us come back, just like that?
This one time.
Like I said,
Johnny Ducks was sick.
He didn't know what he was doing,
and neither did you.
Now's not the time to harbor grudges.
But if you stay, you do things my way.
Or you go to war with the Russians...
and me.
Coffee.
It didn't work.
I'm an alternate.
Didn't get on the jury.
You will tomorrow.
Just make sure Patrick Walker gets convicted.
Your Honor, the missing juror
has been in a serious car accident.
He won't be able to report for trial.
- When did this happen? - This morning.
The police say it was a hit-and-run.
Mr. Burke is in intensive care.
Judge: Ladies and gentlemen,
as I'm sure you've noticed,
one of you is not with us this morning.
Juror number 12, Mr. Gregory Burke,
was in a serious car accident a few hours ago.
Under the circumstances,
I'm going to ask the first alternate, Mr. Donald Ryerson,
to step in.
That said, I don't wish to begin this trial
under a cloud of concern for our fallen friend.
Accordingly, court is adjourned until Monday morning.
Members of the jury, please do the court the favor
of fastening your seatbelts over the weekend.
Looks like you got your alternate.
A Ringo.
Hey, Joey, hey.
This juror's accident,
did you have anything to do with it?
Why, was he a problem?
I liked him, Tammy didn't.
Maybe you and Patrick decided she was right.
Didn't happen.
So it's just a coincidence? Who took him out?
Jury tampering is a serious offence.
I didn't touch him.
Look happy.
Gimme your hand.
Mob boss and mob mouthpiece.
Preserved for posterity.
So...
You are nowhere with our blonde guy in the photo?
No so far, but Ray's working on it.
We'll find him.
I don't know.
It might be too late for us both, McDeere.
What does that mean?
I know Joey better than he knows himself.
And I'm looking 12 moves down the chessboard
and I know how this thing plays out.
He doesn't realize it yet,
but Joey's gonna take a run at me.
He wouldn't do that.
He'll think he doesn't have a choice.
Right now we're fine.
But if things get any worse...
If he starts to think I'm going down...
He'll start to worry
that I'm gonna cut a deal and turn on him.
He knows you wouldn't.
He can't afford to risk it.
He'll try to get to me first.
And he probably will.
Joey Morolto thinks of you as a brother.
He wouldn't have come to me if he didn't need you.
[Chuckles]
In the end, it's just business.
If I were him, I would do the same.
In fact...
I would advise him to do it.
My time is running out.
Which means so is yours.
Wow.
Look at that.
Really beautiful.
Ray McDeere, are those tears in your eyes?
No, I'm probably allergic to flowers.
Maybe... [Clears throat]
Gettin' married.
[Door closes]
Hey honey.
- Anything? - Nothin'.
Showed that guy's photo all over town.
Nobody knows him.
So this guy's either nobody, or somebody huge.
Mitch: I just talked to Patrick.
He thinks we're running out of time.
That if we don't come up with a viable defence soon,
Joey's gonna take him out in prison.
- Why would he do that? - Stop him from cutting a deal.
Patrick's probably right.
And what about the juror,
do you think Joey had something to do with the car accident?
He says he didn't, but...
I don't know what to believe.
I don't know either.
This whole thing feels big.
Like there are moving parts and motives
that we don't know anything about.
I know.
I hate to say it, but this whole thing feels bigger
than even what we went through with Noble.
That's not possible.
Hey, we stay the course, we find this guy,
we get Morolto out of our lives.
Ray's right.
Finding this guy
is the best way for us to stay safe.
[Panting]
You!
