"Previously on Shark:" "Sometimes it's hard for parents to let their kids grow up." "Especially a kid as great as you." "You're worried about Wayne Callison..." "He's a serial killer." " I found a guy to guard Julie." " Is he good?" "He specializes in stalker problems." "This is a tough adjustment." "To talk my dad off the ledge, I'll put up with you." "At least come in and let me make you some dinner." "You hired him." "Yours is almost done." "Mmm." "Smells good." "I should've had you move in years ago." " Hey, make that portable, will you?" " Sure." "You around tonight?" "I thought we could grab some Thai food." "Actually, I'm going to a concert at the Troubadour." "Neal's taking me." "Oh, speaking of which, I talked to Neal last night." "Enough time has passed since the Callison case." "I don't think you need a bodyguard anymore." " Just like that?" " I thought you hated having him around." " Oh, when did I say that?" " You called him "the manny," Jules." "You want him to stay on?" "No, I didn't say that, I just..." "I'm surprised, that's all." "Just thought it was time for things to get back to normal around here." " Have a good day." " Mm-hm." "I'm at LAX, and yet I'm not heading to Vegas." "White female, mid 30's, stabbed at her car." "Apparent robbery gone bad." "If I catch Southwest 103, I can be at the Palms by noon." "Victim's wallet and ID were stolen." "Car's registered to a Karen Bennet." " You know her?" " I sure hope not." " Judge Bennet?" " Is that?" "Judge Andrew Bennet." "Man, I should've gone to Vegas." "That's Sam Harris, top D.C. spin-doctor." "Shepherding Bennet's confirmation to the Federal Court of Appeals." " Guy's a magician." " Hire him to fix your public image." "Nobody's that good." "Oh, God." "Stark?" " What are you doing here?" " I'm sorry for your loss." "Save your sorrow." "Just find the animal who killed my wife." " Your Honor?" " No, no, no..." " Sam." "Probably one of your ex-clients." " Your Honor, let's go, come on." "I just want him to find the animal who did this." "That's all." " You two know each other?" " Bennet's just right of Pat Robertson." "He's not shy about using the bench as a pulpit." "He held me in contempt." "Tried to have me disbarred." "And you were an innocent victim?" "There was that petition I circulated demanding his impeachment." "Is there anyone in this town you haven't pissed off?" "Yeah, the guy who killed Karen Bennet." "But he's next on my list." "Bennet and his wife were married for two years, no kids." "Talked to friends and relatives, everyone says they're perfect." "Bennet wants to be the next Scalia, and hired the A-team to get there." "Harris is the best, prepped Roberts for Supreme Court." " My dad's a client." " What have we got?" "Robbery-homicide." "Jewelry and wallet were stolen." "ME places death around 11:30 pm." "Karen Bennet was catching a late flight to SFO for an education conference." " A teacher?" " Ran a literacy foundation." " Supplied books to low-income kids." " Softened his image, perfect wife." "Good." " Forensics?" " Stab wounds indicate knife." " Do we know if Bennet owns one?" " Are we considering Bennet a suspect?" "Is this your first day?" "Whenever we have a dead wife, the husband is always a suspect." "Check Bennet's statement." "Track his whereabouts before and after the murder." "Go through cases." "Check if a defendant with a grudge was released recently." " You think this is retaliatory?" " Attorneys call this guy the Terminator." "Maxes out defendants in the name of family values." "Sure his holier-than-thou shtick earned him an enemy." "Including you?" "Are you suggesting I'd go after Bennet out of revenge?" "Mm." "Give me a second." "Yeah." "That hurts me deeply." "I'm going after Bennet because it's my job." "If he happens to be guilty, it's an added bonus." "Sam Harris." " Judge is still in court." " Back to work so soon?" " He has a deep commitment to the law." " How's his commitment to his wife?" " Funny." "How's the investigation going?" " We're checking every angle." "Anything off of the credit card hits?" "His friends at L.A.P.D. told us purchases were made in Inglewood using Karen's credit cards." " Guess you missed that angle." " This power-play routine you're doing?" "Save it for somebody who gives a crap." " There been a development in the case?" " Not yet." "But I was hoping to ask you some questions, Your Honor." "Well, before I do, I want to apologize for my behavior this morning." " I was distraught." "I'm sorry, and..." " No apology necessary, sir." "Do you know of anyone who might've held a grudge against you or your wife?" "Karen dedicated her life to helping children." "Everyone loved her." "And as for me, well, you've been to my courtroom." "I believe those unable to live by society's rules must be punished." " An eye for an eye." " Exactly." "I guess that's why they say justice is blind." "Now, that file contains every threat against me since I became a judge." "Phone calls to my home and office, letters mostly from convicted defendants." "This may be a little delicate." "What was the state of your marriage?" "Excuse me, is Judge Bennet a suspect in this investigation?" "That's fine, Sam, the sooner Mr. Stark clears me the sooner he can find Karen's killer." "Were you ever unfaithful?" "No." "How about your wife?" "Karen and I pledged an oath before God to honor one another." "We both cherished that oath." "I loved my wife with all my heart." "I know you and I have had our differences." "And you are the last person on Earth I imagined that I would beg for justice." "But please, Mr. Stark, please find the person who killed my wife." "I ran a list of threats Bennet gave Stark." "This is the only recent parolee with a violent history." "Frankie Pena." "Seven years in Folsom for manslaughter." "Beat a guy to death with a tire iron." "Nice." "DA's Office." "We have some questions." "He's running." "I didn't do nothing." "That's right." "You were just taking a stroll." " That's not him." " What?" "Daniel Vargas?" "What are you running for?" "I just got out, I'm not looking for trouble." " Where's Frankie Pena?" " How should I know?" " You're in his place." " He's my cousin." "He's letting me crash there." "You know where Frankie was two nights ago around 11 p. m?" " Drove me to my NA meeting." " Then took off?" "No." "Frankie stays, makes sure I don't bail on my meetings." "Told me if he ever catches me using, he'd kick my ass." " Cons helping cons." " Isn't that special?" "Dueling crime boards?" "Frankie Pena, convicted of manslaughter, history of threats against Judge Bennet." "Last seen the night of Karen Bennet's murder." "APB went wide an hour ago." "Fine, but until we find him..." "Thank you." "Does Bennet have an alibi?" "He was supposed to be at a Bar Association dinner." "But he left at 11 after getting a call to sign an emergency warrant." "Night receptionist logged him in at 10 to 12." "An hour to get across town?" "It's close, but he could've made it to LAX, killed his wife and back in time to sign the warrant." " The plot thickens." " Dumped the GPS in Karen Bennet's car." "There's an entry for a downtown office building." " Anything we can use?" " Checked her address book." "Came up with a match." "Rob Demato." " Divorce lawyer?" " I keep him on permanent retainer." " If their marriage was perfect..." " Why's his wife meeting with Demato?" "Only one way to find out." "You have heard of attorney-client privilege." "This is a murder investigation." "You might wanna help out." " I can't." " You met with Karen Bennet." "We think her husband may have found out." " You looking at Andrew Bennet for this?" " Should we be?" "Karen came in about a month ago." "She was leaving her husband." " Did she say why?" " California's a no-fault state." "Why doesn't matter." "Karen hadn't signed a prenup." "No wonder there might be some issues." "Divorce without a custody battle sounds straightforward." "Not if your soon-to-be ex is a powerful judge with friends on the bench." "Is that why she didn't file?" " Couldn't say, she never came back." " You think they reconciled?" "Love is a funny thing." " You're charging Judge Bennet?" " Where'd you hear that?" "CNN." "Someone leaked the fact that Bennet's a suspect in his wife's murder." " My money's on you." " Now, why would I do that?" "Because you hate the man with every fiber of your being?" "Yeah, but outing him as a suspect and having him lawyer up hurts my case." "You know my motto." "Winning first, revenge a close second." " Bennet is a very popular guy." " Yeah, right." "People don't like Bennet." "They fear him." "Same difference." "He knows everyone in this city." "He will bring the wrath of God down." "Well, if he killed his wife, I'm willing to bet God will be on my side." "Bennet is a judge, Sebastian." "You can't afford to get this one wrong." "You know, last time I looked, my office door said "High Profile Crime Unit."" "I don't have the luxury of getting anything wrong, Jess." "Which is where my perfection comes in." "Unless one of those civil servant hacks you call a prosecutor has suddenly grown a brain and some balls, kindly take a giant step back." " I can assume you've got this covered?" " Yeah." "Who died?" "Lindstrom won't hear our request for a warrant for Bennet's car." "He and Bennet went to law school together." " I didn't know that." " You should have that put on a T-shirt." "Think a judge in this town's gonna help us go after Bennet?" " To check him out, we need a warrant." " Maybe, maybe not." " What kind of car does Bennet drive?" " Black Cadillac STS." "Pull this month's police reports on unsolved vehicle-related crimes." "Drive-bys, hit-and-runs, and see if any of them involve a black Caddy." "This is the part where we get disbarred, isn't it?" " Find Bennet?" " I'm right behind him." "Car matching Bennet's was involved in a drug buy in Hawthorne two weeks ago." " Cops never caught the guy." " Did you call your friends in Narcotics?" "We're ready to roll." " Enjoy your lunch, Judge Bennet." " Ray." " Thank you." " Thank you." "I'll handle this." "Hey." "Anything?" " Car looks clean except for this." " What is it?" "It's some kind of oil." "I scraped it off the floorboard." "He could have picked it up at airport parking." "But check this out." "See how this spot's lighter than the rest of the carpet?" " Yeah." " Must've scrubbed it." " Recently?" " Couple days, maybe a week." " Might've been trying to get rid of oil." " Let's run a Luminol test." "That's a lot of blood." "Judge didn't cut himself shaving." "No, but he may have just cut his own throat." "You're absolutely positive?" "All right." "Blood type in Bennet's car matches his wife's." "I am gonna love this." " We are in the middle of a trial." " Not anymore." "Andrew Bennet, you are under arrest for the murder of your wife." "Ladies and gentlemen, court is adjourned." "You arrested a judge in the middle of a trial?" "Can't tell you how long I have dreamed of doing that." "Yeah, it's crossed my mind a few times." "Was it amazing?" "Take the best sex you've had, add a royal flush." "Still, you humiliated the man." "Guys like Bennet think they're untouchable." "So I reached out and touched him." "Yeah." "And in the process, alienated every judge in this building." "We already had six motions denied this morning." "We can't buy a continuance." "Screw them if they can't take a joke." " Point is you wanted a war, you got one." " Good." "Defense moves that all evidence found in the illegal search of my client's car be ruled inadmissible." " On what grounds?" " No search warrant." "No warrant necessary, car was seized after being implicated in a drug trafficking incident." "The connection to which Mr. Stark fabricated." "Tell that to the officers of L.A.P.D." "I will allow the search, but I better not find out you were involved, Mr. Stark." " As to the matter of bail." " Murder one." "My client is a highly respected jurist and poses little risk of flight." "Judge Bennet personally denied bail in dozens of cases just like this." " Are we not equal under the law?" " Suddenly a man of the people." " Well..." " Enough." " Bail is set at $200,000." " For capital murder?" "The defendant is an upstanding member of this community, Mr. Stark." " You'd do well to remember." " Thank you." "Thank you." "Bennet's a choirboy." "I'm going to squash you like a bug." "Dream on." "You change your hair?" " Loser buys dinner?" " Sounds unethical." "You're on." "This is a personal vendetta, Stark." "When this is over and I'm exonerated, I'm gonna return the favor." " I'm gonna make your life a living hell." " Thanks, but I've already been married." "Just remember, when you go after the king, better kill the king." "What Elvis said to the Beatles." "Next thing you know, he's playing Vegas in a sequin jumpsuit." "Go figure." "No eyewitness, no murder weapon, no motive." "It's two days until the trial and all we've got is a Cadillac with a bleach stain." "We've got Karen Bennet's blood in her husband's car." "Yeah." "We have got blood matching her type." "DNA came back inconclusive." "The sample was too degraded for a positive ID." "Isaac did say we got nothing from the search of Bennet's house." " Fun never stops." " Hey." "Looked into Bennet's bank records." "Used an ATM in Torrance a dozen times the last three months." " Torrance is out of the judge's zip code." " Maybe he was meeting someone." "Let's find out." " You lost?" " We're from the DA's Office." " You seen this guy?" " No." "He's used the ATM here a dozen times." " Lots of people do." " We could ask your customers instead." "No one's gonna talk to you." "That's not how this place works." "We're investigating a murder." "How would you like to see how jail works?" "Comes in once a week, meets a friend." "This friend got a name?" "It's a younger guy." "I think his name is Rob." "He's a lawyer." "Italian, the last name." " Demato?" " That's it." "Are you sure he's never met anyone else here?" "A woman?" "Ohh." "Like I said, that's not how this place works." "Let's go." "Thank you so much for taking me to that concert." "That's the fourth time you thanked me." "Yeah, I know JoJo probably isn't really high on your download list." "It was fun." " I should get going." " Can't believe Thursday's your last day." " I'm sure you're happy to get rid of me." " Yeah." "Just come hungry." "I'm making you a goodbye dinner." " You don't have to do that." " I want to." "Okay." "It's a date." "You were never Karen Bennet's attorney, were you?" " I told you what I knew." " You left out one small detail." "That Andrew Bennet's gay and you were having an affair with him." "My personal life is none of your business." "Bennet built his career crusading against gay rights." "Politics weren't a big topic of discussion between me and Andrew." "But neither one of us flaunted our sexuality." "Andrew referred a lot of clients my way." "The kind who would not hire a gay attorney." "How will those clients react when they find out your favorite bar is called The Nuts and Bolts?" "Threaten me all you want, but there's no way that Andrew could have done this." "We found Karen's blood in his car." "A woman is dead." "Why are you covering for her killer?" "A month ago, Andrew called me and said that he couldn't meet me." "He said that Karen had found out about our affair." "A few days later, she showed up at my office screaming." "Saying she was gonna tell everybody about Andrew and me." "The press would've crucified him." "What did you do?" "I called Andrew." " Gay?" " Gay." " I could kiss you hard on the mouth now." " Rain check." "Karen threatened to tell everyone her husband's sleeping with a man." "Which would not have gone over well with his gay-bashing supporters." "How do you spell motive?" "Bennet couldn't let this get out on the eve of his confirmation." "So he kills his wife to keep her quiet." "So much for family values." " Good morning." " Good morning." "Got a call from Asst. Atty." "Gen. Rogers vouching for Bennet's character." "So?" "So Bennet is a card-carrying member of the old boys club." " You have no idea." " Meaning?" "Meaning Bennet didn't exactly practice what he preached." " He's gay, Jess." " No way." " Way." " Gay?" "My client's sexual preference has nothing to do with this case." " These things have a way of getting out." " So do defamation suits." "We're not here to make threats, we're here to deal, 15 years for murder one." "Judge Bennet is one of the most respected public servants in this city." "With his dead wife's blood on his hands and a lover named Rob waiting to testify." "How's that gonna play at your confirmation hearing?" "Blood evidence is ambiguous." "And if you had a decent case, you wouldn't be sitting here right now." "If your client wasn't prepared to plead to a lesser crime why did you call this meeting?" "To give you this." "A motion to dismiss?" "Hate to break it to you, I've never laid down a winning hand." "Why start now?" "A Caltrans road crew found the knife that killed Karen Bennet on the side of the 10 Freeway." "L.A.P.D. matched the prints to those of Frankie Pena the felon who repeatedly threatened to kill the Bennets." "I enjoyed watching both of you attempt to coerce a plea from an innocent defendant." "And I'm sure the State Bar will find it equally fascinating." " See you in court, counselor." " Good day." " So that's bad." " Yeah." "We're requesting that all charges be dropped immediately." "Your Honor, this motion is premature." "A murder weapon has been found with prints matching an ex-convict who made threats against my client and his wife." "People request a week to analyze this new evidence, Your Honor." "48 hours to demonstrate why charges shouldn't be dropped." "We're done." "I know this great little seafood joint down on the marina." "Casual, romantic." "Sounds good." "Don't forget your credit card." "Andrew Bennet is innocent of this crime." "Now, we're here today to appeal to the public to help us find the man responsible." "Frankie Pena, violent criminal who made repeated threats against the Bennets." "He's discussing evidence in an ongoing trial." "Not on the team." "He can say what he wants." "I say we fight back." "Play the gay card." "Outing the judge is gonna score points with the jury?" "Establishes motive for Bennet to kill his wife." "With our largely conservative jury, the homophobia works for us." " Charming, Madeleine." " Now, this entire case is an attack on the personal life of Andrew Bennet." "Mr. Bennet did not murder his wife." "His only transgression was having an extramarital affair with another man." "I can't believe Bennet just outed himself." "Desperate move for an innocent man." "Maybe not." "The murder weapon was found with Karen Bennet's blood and Pena's prints all over it." "And Pena's on record threatening her." "Pena was a free man." "Why would he risk going back to prison to kill Karen?" "I'll tell you why." "Two weeks ago, one Danny Vargas, Pena's cousin, was paroled early." "Anyone care to guess why?" "Because before his hearing, the parole board received a letter of recommendation from Judge Andrew Bennet." "The cousin is the connection between Bennet and Pena." "You got it." "Judge Bennet hired Pena to kill his wife." "I checked into Bennet's accounts." "No major withdrawals were made." "Because Bennet didn't pay Pena off with money." "He paid him off with Danny Vargas' freedom." "I want Vargas in here, and I want him in here now." "You lied to us." "I don't like being lied to." "Pena dropped you off at your NA meeting the night of the murder." "But he didn't stick around like you said, did he?" " No." " Where'd he go?" " I don't know." " You're a damn liar." " I never heard from him." " Why did you lie about the NA meeting?" "Looking out for Frankie the way he looks out for me." "Like getting you paroled early?" "You didn't think we knew about that, did you?" "Frankie killed Bennet's wife to get you out early." "So, what was your part?" "I had nothing to do with it." " Then tell us where Frankie is." " I don't know." " Charge him as an accessory to murder." " No, no, wait." "Before he left he said he was gonna shake down some rich white dude." "Like blackmail." "A guy like Pena disappears, a record, no money." "Yeah, chances are he's not poolside in Cabo." "Yeah, we need to re-check the evidence from Bennet's car." "Something tells me that's not Karen Bennet's blood after all." "Let me guess." "Casting call for Beauty and the Geek?" " He wishes." " So badly." "We just finished analyzing the oil residue found in Bennet's car." "It's fascinating." " You find oil residue fascinating?" " It's crude oil." "The kind that you pump from an oil well." "The only active oil field in greater L. A..." "Stocker Hill." "Well, gold stars all around." "Get an SID team here right away." "Got a feeling we're about to strike it rich." "Hey, come on in." " You look great." " Thanks." "Um, dinner's not quite ready yet." "Can I get you something to drink?" "Oh, no, I'm good." "This looks amazing." "A little too much Martha Stewart Living." "The thing is I got a new job today working for a diplomat." " Oh." "That was fast." " Yeah, I know." "The problem is they need me to start really soon, like tonight." "Oh." "I'm really sorry." "No, it's okay, I get it." "It's work." "Look, let me make it up to you." " Really, it's okay." " No, it's not." "Friends are having a party." "I was gonna stop by early before work." "Lots of fun people." "Wanna meet me there?" "Okay." "Strange place to meet someone." "Not if you don't wanna be found." "It's cold out here." "OFFICER 1:" "We got a body." "OFFICER 2:" "Pull it in." "Looks like we found Frankie Pena." "I'm afraid I can't talk without counsel present." "Oh, right." "I forgot." "You always play by the rules." "And you always break them." "Only when they get in the way." "We found Pena." "Shot in the chest up on Stocker Hill." "Can't say I'm sorry to hear it." "We're running ballistics, but you and I know the bullet came from your gun." "Still time to settle, avoid the death penalty." "Well, that's the difference between us." "I believe in the system." "Why not confess?" "Throw yourself on the mercy of the court?" "Well, you know I've never been a big proponent of mercy." "Besides, I'm very confident that in the end, the truth will come out." "And the truth will set you free, right?" "Don't bet on it." "Karen Bennet was a devoted wife." "She loved her husband and she trusted him." "Now, when Karen found out that her husband was having an affair she realized that he was a liar." "When she found out that that affair was with another man she understood that her husband, an avid proponent of family values and the sanctity of marriage, was also a hypocrite." "It was then that she decided to leave him." "But Andrew Bennet knew that if his lifestyle and more importantly, his blatant hypocrisy were ever to become public, he could kiss his judicial career goodbye." "And that's when he decided to hire Frankie Pena to murder his wife." "But Andrew Bennet's a smart guy." "He knew that Frankie Pena was the only link between him and the murder of his wife." "And so, what did he do?" "He killed Pena too." "For his entire career, Judge Andrew Bennet pretended to represent justice." "Teach him the meaning of that word." "Every piece of evidence in the murder of Karen Bennet directly links Frankie Pena to the crime, not my client." "Mr. Pena was a violent criminal." "And his death was the direct result of the dangerous life that he chose to lead." "And as far as the murder of Karen Bennet my client had absolutely nothing to do with it." "Judge Andrew Bennet is a fine public servant." "And he is a grieving husband." "And he is a victim." "Detective, did you supervise ballistics on the bullet that killed Frankie Pena?" "Yes, one.38 caliber slug to the chest." "Were you able to trace that bullet to a weapon?" "Yes, it belonged to a handgun registered to Judge Andrew Bennet." "Thank you." "No questions, Your Honor." "Your Honor, I'd like to call Andrew Bennet to the stand." "Okay." "What's his strategy?" " She's desperate." " Maybe not." " Bennet knows his way around a jury." " Sebastian will rip his head off." "Quiet down, please." "Had Frankie Pena threatened you in the past?" "He wrote letters to me while he was in prison." "When he was paroled, he called my home and office." "I tried reasoning with him." "He wouldn't listen." "He threatened to kill me and my wife." "Tell us what happened the night that your wife was murdered." "I tried calling Karen for hours." "It wasn't like her to not answer." "I knew right away something was wrong." "What did you do?" " I went to see Frankie Pena." " You went to his home?" "I'd been threatened many times." "But Pena was the only one who had ever threatened Karen." " What happened next?" " I waited outside Pena's house." "And when he arrived, I confronted him." " You brought a gun?" " Yes." "Did you intend to kill Frankie Pena?" "No." "I only wanted to get him to tell me where Karen was." "I prayed that she was still alive." "And what happened next?" "Pena told me that he had followed Karen to the airport." "He waited by her car." "He stabbed her." "And then he told me he watched her die." "I know how difficult this is." "Please, tell us what happened next." "I told Pena that I was calling the police." "That I was going to make sure that he spent the rest of his life in jail." "But you never made that call, did you?" "No, I never got the chance." "Pena attacked me." "I was afraid he was going to kill me like he had killed Karen." "And that's when I shot him." "I know I should've gone to the police." "But this man, he had already taken so much from me." "He destroyed my life." "No comment, I have no comment." "Thank you." "Please." "Bennet knows he is sunk on the Pena murder so he cops to it." "He spins it to make him look like a hero." " What about cross?" " Did you see that jury?" "They're gonna acquit Bennet, give him a slap on the wrist for killing Pena." "Hate to tell you, but if we can't prove Bennet hired Pena to kill his wife this guy is literally gonna get away with murder." "Andrew Bennet is extremely anxious to put this painful ordeal behind him." "He has dedicated his life to serving justice." " He'd like nothing more than to continue." " The stones on this guy." "If Bennet walks, Harris is gonna make it look like he can walk on water." "You think Harris knew that Bennet's gay?" "A guy as good as Harris, nothing gets by him." "That is for the court to decide." "I mean, to be honest with you..." " Where did they find the knife?" " Side of the 10 Freeway by Crenshaw." "For a criminal, Pena picked a lame place to dump a weapon." " Because Pena didn't dump the weapon." " You think it was Bennet?" "The knife was found after Bennet was arrested." "If it had been there before, Caltrans would've found it, right?" " It was Harris." " You need something fixed, call a fixer." " Just to please me..." " Okay, we're due in an hour." "I need you guys to stall Judge Cavanaugh." " Your dad is a client of Harris'?" " Yeah." "We're gonna put your pretty face to work." "So your dad's really looking for a legislative aide?" "Yeah, but it is tough to find good people." "I would kill to work in Sacramento." "Well, I know he'll really appreciate you helping me out." "I'm not supposed to let anyone in Mr. Harris' office." "It'll just take a minute." "My dad said it's really important." "Well, it is for a client." "Just hurry." "Mr. Harris is gonna be back from court pretty soon." "Why don't you go grab your résumé?" "Yes." "Sebastian, hey." "Harris has been on the Caltrans website." "He's got maps of the 10 at Crenshaw in his recent searches." "Here you go." "I can interview anytime." "You're gonna love Sacramento." "MAN 1:" "Hey." "MAN 2:" "It's food." "Hi." "Julie, hey." "Guys, guys, this is Julie." " Hey." " Hi." "WOMAN 3:" "Hi." "Listen, I gotta run in the house for a second." "Are you gonna be okay?" "Yeah, no problem." "Hurry back." "I'm charging you with conspiracy to commit murder." "Based on a couple Google maps?" "Good luck." "Maps from your computer, Sam." "Work schedules of the road crew that found the murder weapon." "Pena didn't ditch that knife on the side of the freeway." "You did." " The judge'll never let this stuff in." " Maybe, but I've got an insurance policy." "When L.A.P.D. and Narcotics searched Bennet's car they found blood and oil residue." "They also found hair follicles." "Yours." "Intriguing, except I've been in Bennet's car dozens of times..." "Right, but all the jury's gonna hear is Mr. Harris' DNA was found at the crime scene." "Fifty people saw me at a party during Karen Bennet's murder." "But not during Pena's." "When I present evidence that you were with Bennet the night Pena died, his self-defense theory's shot." "Which makes it your word against Judge Andrew Bennet's." "You saw him play the jury." "Who do you think they're gonna believe killed Pena?" " Come on." " Yeah." "Even you wouldn't do something this unethical." "Wouldn't even crack my top 10." "Bennet thought that if his homosexuality became public he'd be ruined." "That's when he called me in." " I didn't think his wife knew." " She did find out." "Yeah, that's when he hired Pena to kill her." "Objection." "Assumes facts not in evidence." " Overruled." " Would you describe for the jury this murder-for-hire plot?" "About a month ago, Bennet introduced me to a man named John Chavez." "Bennet told me he was a reformed drug dealer that he put away." "Someone we would parade during the confirmation process." " To soften his image for the liberals?" " Exactly." "Day after Karen was murdered, Bennet came to me." "Told me that he killed Frankie Pena in self-defense." "And that he needed my help." "So you helped him out." "Why?" "I just didn't think he deserved to go to jail." "If somebody murdered my wife, I would do the same thing." "So you dumped the knife that Pena used to kill Karen?" "Bennet knew the Caltrans schedules from community service sentences." "Told me to dump the knife where it was sure to be found." "Why didn't you say anything before?" "Because I thought I was helping an innocent man." "Then I saw photos of Pena in the newspaper." "It was the same man that Bennet had introduced to me as John Chavez." "That's when I knew that Bennet had hired Frankie Pena to kill his wife." "No more questions." " I want that brief on my desk at 9..." " Thinking Northern Italian in Beverly Hills." " Calamari, a little osso buco." " Screw you." "In that case, we'd need bottles of Chianti as well."

"I threatened to use his DNA to frame him for Pena's murder." "And he actually thought you'd do it?" "Oh, right." "Have you guys seen Neal Donovan?" " No." " No." "There you are." " Hey, Julie." " Hi." "Hey, um, this is Sarah." "Oh." " Guys, let's go!" " You having fun?" "Yeah." " Okay." " Yeah." "I'm gonna..." "Okay." "Does the Supreme Court have a policy on convicted murderers?" "What were you thinking?" "Barhopping with your boyfriend weeks before your confirmation hearing?" " You think nobody would find out?" " You think this has been easy?"

"You made the choice to pretend to be somebody you're not." "That's what this is all about, isn't it?" "It's because I'm gay, and that disgusts you." "I don't care if you do it with farm animals." "You killed your wife, Bennet, to protect your image." "That disgusts me." "Julie?" "Hey, it's Julie." "Leave me a message and I'll call you back." "Hey, Jules, I just got home." "Wondered if you'd had dinner." "You'll probably be back home soon, so I'll just wait a bit." "Love you."
