"Okay, so ivory or maroon?" "Ivory is classic." "Maroon gives you that spot of color;" "it's a little hipper." "I don't know, I think we should stay with classic" " all the way down the line." " No, no, no, Nick." "We got to be hip, okay?" "This is the Las Vegas Legal Fund that we're hosting, okay?" " Think young crowd..." " So?" "So?" "You know what, I will make it work." "How about menu?" "Asian fusion." " Italian!" " Italian?" "The hell with fusion." " Again, Italian?" " Whoa, whoa." "Italian with you, all the time." "We will make it work." "It's so easy." "We'll make it totally work." "Passed hors d'oeuvres or buffet?" "Buffet." " Tacky, Nick." " Buffet." "It's got a carving station." " Tacky, tacky, tacky, tacky." " People want food." "Guys!" "Come on, is there anything that you don't argue about?" "How about the music act?" " Frank Sinatra Jr." " Frank Sinatra Jr." "Great, and while we're at it, why don't we get Elvis?" " Oh, come on." " Be realistic." "I'm looking at local jazz ensembles, okay?" " Okay, we get it." " All right, great." "Great." "Carly Donovan is really hitting on my cell phone here." "Blake Donovan's calling me." "What the hell's so urgent?" "Jess, thank you so much for helping us." "Yeah, thank you." "I realize this must be awkward now that you guys are divorced..." "Separated!" " Thanks, guys." " Carly, hey, it's Pete." " Nick Morelli." " What?" " Blake, calm down, calm down." " Slow down, Carly." " Hold on, hold on." " Yeah, just slow down." "All right, don't say anything." "Sit tight." "Dead body." "In their yoga studio?" "Hey, Mark." "Hey, Nick." "Hey, Pete." " Here?" " Yeah, go ahead." "Who is he?" "Dustin Copley, our master yoga teacher." "Looks like he's only been dead for a few hours." "Where were you guys this morning?" " At home." " At our house." "We were home together." "We both got a late start." "You find him?" "No, our manager Kurt Faber found him and called us." "Kurt?" "Is that him blabbing to the detective over there?" "Yeah." "Look, I didn't do this." "We didn't do this." "Who said that you did?" "No one." "But they, uh, sure act like they think we did." "All right, let me handle this." " Hey, Nick..." "Pete." " Detective." "Our clients were both home together this morning." "Yeah, that's exactly what they told me." "But I'd like to ask Mr. and Mrs. Donovan if either of them recognize the voice on this message we just found on the deceased's phone." "Hey, Russell, listen." "I thought about your proposal on the drive home, and I just wanted to say, you can go straight to hell." "You try something like this, we will bury you." "Think I'm joking?" " try me." " All right, look, my clients are not answering any questions now." "Okay, here's the problem." "That's your cell number, Mr. Donovan, there's someone's blood in your sink, and we found these in your office." "Two plane tickets to India with no return date." "You two running off for some reason?" " Don't answer that." " It's a research trip!" "Okay." "Blake, Carly Donovan, you're under arrest for the murder of Russell Copley." "What?" "Oh, come on." "You have the right to remain silent." "You have the right to an attorney." "We are their attorneys!" "Hey, easy on those cuffs!" "Pretty tense for a yoga studio, huh?" "The Defenders 1x18 Morelli v. Kaczmarek Original airdate March 11, 2011" "That phone message was out of context." "And our trip was for research." "We-we planned it months ago." "All right, we'll circle back to all that." "Help us fill in some of the blanks here." "We helped you incorporate, what, two years ago?" "Uh, almost three." "And our business took off." "Slowly at first, but then we made a great hire." "Russell Copley." "The dead guy?" "Look, the yoga industry has become all about the personality of the leader, and we found a really good one with Russell." "We do three times the business of our nearest competitor." "Well, why the angry messages?" "We've done such great business over the past year that we started looking into franchising around Russell's name and technique." "Which we developed with him." "We told him about our plans two months ago, made him a very fair offer, and he said no." "Said he wanted a full partnership or he was leaving." "You were fighting over business." "Yes, but when I said we'd "bury him"," "I meant legally." "How do you think Russell's blood got into your private bathroom at the studio?" "I-I don't know." "I don't know." "But it wasn't all that private." "He-he had access to that bathroom himself." "We're in real trouble here, aren't we?" "Well, Blake... prosecution's going to say that you two killed Russell over a business dispute and then were going to hightail it to India." "That's not true.!" "Look, let's get you bailed out, and we'll take it from there, all right?" "Come on." "Look at this idiot." "Move!" " Move!" " Move!" "What else they got on them?" "Their fingerprints are everywhere." "Well, it's Carly and Blake's freaking business." "They belong everywhere." " Weapon?" " Nope." ".38 slug in the yoga studio wall though." "Shot in the chest, passed through his heart and out his back." "Russell was dead before he hit the floor." "Check this out." "In a statement from Kurt Faber... he's the yoga studio manager who found the body..." ""The moment I saw Russell lying there, I thought Oh, my God," ""Carly and Blake killed him." ""They had so many reasons to."" "Talk about throwing them under the bus." "Wait a minute." " That's the manager, right?" " Mm-hmm." "Well, he had just as much access as Blake and Carly." "We should have Tony check him out, see if there's a motive." "Oh, let me do it." " No, it's my car." "My car!" " Shh." "Hey, Zoey." "Hey, Judge Owens' office just called." "Wants to see you both in chambers." "What?" "Now?" "What for?" "His assistant wouldn't say, but she did say, "ASAP."" "All right, we're on our way." "Oh, Nick, are you about to..." "Okay, here we go!" "Wow!" "All right." "Sorry, ma'am!" "Next time, I'm driving." "You don't have a car." "Right." "Hey, Nick." "Good evening, Judge." " Hey, Pete." "Come on in." " So what's up?" "Nick, I wanted to talk to you about your intentions to represent" "Carly and Blake Donovan." "ADAs Cole and Nicholson" " are concerned." " The State objects to the firm of Morelli and Kaczmarek representing both defendants." " What?" " Of course you do." "I mean, we've been beating them consistently." "This isn't about winning or losing, it's about a conflict of interest." "Carly and Blake Donovan signed waivers of conflict, Your Honor." " They want a united defense." " Absolutely." "Well, we think that's going to change, big-time." "We've obtained multiple witness statements and evidence from the deceased's home that establishes unequivocally" "Russell Copley had a year-long affair with Carly Donovan." "Whoa..." "We don't acknowledge any affair." "Even if that were true, Your Honor, that does not take away my clients'" "Sixth Amendment right to representation of their choice." "Cristalli and Saggese made law on this very point" " in Titus, Your Honor." " Titus." "Completely different case, Kaczmarek." "The court should avoid even the appearance of a conflict." "Gentlemen, there are plenty of fine defense attorneys in the city of Las Vegas." "Like you give a rat's ass!" "Hold it." "I'm inclined to agree with the State on this, counselors." "Now, your firm may represent one defendant, but not both." "I want you to decide which one so that we can keep this on schedule." "All right?" "We'll reconvene in, what?" "15 minutes?" "Just one." "Don't slam the door, Nick." "Sons of bitches." "Look at them." " Clowns." " They're scared of us." "That's what this is about." "Yeah." "Look, Pete, uh, I've represented Blake longer than we've even known each other." "I got to go with Blake." "Well, I can't drop Carly;" "she needs me." "I know, but Blake is the one they're going to try to say killed him out of jealousy, so we got to go with him." "They're going to paint Carly as the jilted lover." "I know, I know, but listen, you got to find a way to talk to Carly, you know?" "Just tell her she's out, that's all." "I don't have to do anything." " Yeah, you do..." " No, I don't." "Nick, I-I realize you're older, and you're bigger, but I'm 50% of this equation, and sometimes I think you forget this is a partnership." "Well, it's just paperwork." "Really." "I mean, look, if you really want to represent Carly, why don't we just tear it up?" "You know, just for a while." "I mean, that's what you really want?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Good idea." "Let's do it." "Really?" "Really." "I think it's a good strategy." "As you say, it's just paperwork." "Yeah." "Uh, Your Honor..." "I would like to continue representing" "Carly Donovan." "And I would like to continue representing Blake Donovan." "Now, listen to me very carefully." "If you break up your partnership, then you must do it, not just in name, but in practice." "You will not share offices, assistants, resources." "You will build your own defenses." "Hmm?" "I'm not threatening." "I'm promising." "I will be monitoring." "Am I making myself clear?" "Yes, Your Honor." "Morelli-Kaczmarek is no more." "I want you both to understand that this is not forever." "Pete and I have both made a decision to make a strategic move so Pete can represent Carly and I can represent Blake." "Yeah, but why do we have to split up because of Carly's stupid affair?" "Very good question, Zoey." "The judge believes it's a conflict of interest." "Just remember..." "no matter what happens, we care about you both equally and value what each of you bring to this operation." "And that being said," "Lisa, you come with me." "Whoa, whoa..." "What, you don't like Zoey?" "This has nothing to do with liking Zoey." "I thought you said that Zoey was ready" " to take on more responsibility." " No," "I said she has to start acting more responsibly." "Don't play dumb with me." "Look at her." "Poor Zoey." "Fine." "Okay, I pick Zoey." "You're on my team." "Yes, yes!" "Thank you, thank you, thank you." "I won't let you down." "I won't let you down." "Oh, does this mean we're going to get new offices?" "Please say yes." " Yes, you do." " No, we don't." "Nick and Lisa are going to be the ones who are moving." "Never!" "This was your idea." " It was your idea." " Oh, yeah, but you jumped at it like a drag queen at a free pair of nylons." "Because you backed me into a corner." " I didn't back you inin a corner." " Oh, yes, you did." "Okay, okay, come on, is this really necessary?" "There's plenty of room for all of us in this office." "No, we got to play this one by the book." "Pete's right, you know, the judge was adamant." "All right, Pete, flip?" " Let's do it." " You call it." " Tails." " Heads." " Oh, come on!" " What, you gonna question my integrity in front of my new team?" "You're a tyrant." "You should work on that." "Come on, Zoey." "Zoey, come on." "All right, Lisa, you get Pete's office." "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Yeah man!" "How'd you find this?" "Craigslist." "This place is depressing." "Can I go run some errands or something?" "No." "You got to get the phone company in here," "Internet, gas, electric." "I want this to be a fully functioning office by 5:00 today." "Then I want you to go back to our old offices." "When Nick isn't looking, grab as many supplies as you can carry out of there." "Are you going to be a tyrant like Nick?" "Hey, don't call him that;" "it's disrespectful." " You did!" " Yeah, but" " it's different." " Oh, yeah, how?" "Just don't call him that, okay?" "Okay." "Geez." "Tyrant." "Ha." "Good instincts, Nick, on that yoga studio manager." "That guy had plenty of motive to want to kill Russell himself." "Yeah?" "Kurt Faber was such a slimeball, he was actually trying to steal Russell away to start his own yoga studio." "Behind Carly and Blake's back?" "Mm-hmm, and when Russell backed out, he lost a lot of money." "And Faber was the one who "found" Russell's body, is that right?" "Yeah." " Great job, Tony." " Another thing." "I looked through the discovery, and cops talked to five neighbors the D.A. didn't put on their witness list." " I talked to all of 'em." " And?" "Three of 'em didn't see or hear anything." "The fourth said she thought she heard a shot, but on the wrong day." "And then there's Gordon Gardner." "He lives above the pharmacy across the street." "Saw someone entering the yoga studio just before the murder took place." "You'll see why the D.A." "didn't put him on the witness list." ""I happened to look down the block" ""And noticed someone entering the studio." ""I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman;" ""I saw them from behind." ""About five-eight with..." ""distinctively red hair"?" "That's great!" " Right?" " We got a reliable witness who says the killer had "distinctively red hair"" "and our clients don't!" "Hey, Pete, get in here!" "Uh, Nick, you want me to take it over to Pete's?" "Uh, yeah, yeah." "Oh, a-a-and ask him if he wants to meet me at the yoga studio in an hour, you know, just to... you know, go through things." "You got it, boss." "Thank you, Lisa." "No problem, Nick." "Law offices of Nicholas Morelli." "I hope you're having a terrific Tuesday." "Slut." "This is Honey Bean." "How can I help you?" "I'll transfer... thank you." "Hi!" "I'm Honey Bean." "Hope you're having a terrific Tuesday." "Can I help you?" "Sure, give me my pen and the keys to the supply room." "No need to get up." "I know my way around." "Think you're missing a button, little sister." "Hi." "This is Honey Bean." "Hey, look at you." "Wow, when'd you pick this up?" "Got it this morning." "What do you think?" "Well, it's... it's a beauty." "What, come... are you kidding me?" "You don't like it?" " Come on, Nick, this thing is cherry." " No, no, no," "I think it's great." "I think it's great." "I just thought you wanted me to help you pick one out, that's all." "I..." "Oh, hey, man, I-I didn't want to bug you." "Thank you so much for sending Tony over." " Yeah, yeah, yeah." " This is going to be big." " Yeah." " Morelli and Kaczmarek." "I thought I heard an ambulance." "Hey, guys, just to clarify, the judge needed you two to stay you know, apart, like not near each other." " Say "Cheese" For the judge, guys." "Big smile." " Get in." "Get in." "Come on." "There it is." "Perfect." "Look, we just ran into each other, you big snitches." "Yeah, I'm on my way to a yoga class." "And me, I'm going to the, uh," "Vegan Rainbow Restaurant." "For the sprouts or their..." "you know, their hummus?" "No, their baby ghanoush." "Look, we're allowed to meet" " as cocounsel, you dumbasses." " Yeah." "Question is, what are you two jokers doing here?" " Search warrant." " What, in case you missed something" " the first three times?" " Well, I wouldn't put it past them." " They missed the redhead." " What?" "Yeah, eyewitness statement from your own discovery says the killer had "red hair."" ""Distinctively red hair."" "And my client... okay, what does he have, like, brownish hair almost, right?" " My client's a blonde." " Yeah." "Why don't you get your facts straight" " before you start indicting innocent people?" " Yeah." "Uh-huh." "Siegfried and Roy." "How's your veggie-slush?" "What's in it again?" "Mmm, it is all organically grown spinach, tomatoes, celery, eggplant and natural prairie grass." ""Natural prairie grass" means there's cows and buffalo that walk and pee on it." "Not working for you?" "No, I-I just never really got the vegan thing." "I was always brought up thinking that the world was set up around one species eating another species." "Well, we like to look at it like this:" "we are the sentient beings on this planet, so we can make choices that other animals can't make, like getting our protein from soy or getting our iron from beets or getting our shoes from synthetics." "You don't wear leather, either?" "No." "But you know what?" "I am not judging." " Hey, me, either." " Hey, at least you're curious." " Yeah." " Yeah." "So what brings you in today?" "Oh, I'm actually waiting to talk to somebody next door." "I'm the attorney for Blake Donovan." "Oh, God, that's so terrible what happened." "I know, I know." "Well, you know 'em, obviously; you're next door." "Yeah, Blake is..." "he's a wonderful guy." "Driven, but very, very caring." "And Carly?" "Okay, she can be violent, out of control even." "I mean, she even attacked me one day." "Thank God Kurt was there to pull her off of me." "Kurt?" "That's their manager." "Why would she attack you?" "Nick!" "Get in here." "Okay." "Uh, thank you so much." " Uh..." " To go?" "To go... away." "Thanks for the heads-up on the eyewitness who saw the redhead." "Otherwise, we would have been real confused, finding something like this in your clients' pipes." "So listen, we want the truth now." "Whichever of your clients steps forward gets immunity." "The other..." "well, that'll be on you." "Yeah, that's what they're offering, Blake." "All right." "That's right." "Carly says no deal." " No hesitation?" " None." "We're not taking it." "How about Blake?" "No deal." "He said this guy couldn't break 'em up in life, can't do it in death." "All right, well, then, we're still on the same team." "Look, the only reason they offered this deal is 'cause this case is completely circumstantial." "We hit hard that this Kurt Faber guy had access and he lost his life savings when Russell backed out of their business deal." "Yeah, we throw suspicion his way, create enough doubt, jury acquits both Carly and Blake." "Yeah, but we have no idea what this guy's going to say when he gets up there." "I've done my homework." "You need to do yours." "Why?" "What'd you find out?" "You know I can't answer that." "Look, we go after the manager really hard together, and if it works and we're successful, God bless." "But if not..." "Okay." "You do what you got to do," "I'm gonna do what I got to do." "Why don't you get this one?" "The victim's blood was found in the defendants' sink, an extramarital affair and a bitter business dispute provide motive, and then there's this... worn by the killer as a disguise, then flushed down a toilet." "Where was it?" "In the plumbing pipes beneath the studio owned by the defendants." "Detective, your police report describes the blood evidence you found as "Trace evidence."" "What... what..." "what does that mean?" "Trace evidence is evidence which occurs when two materials come in contact with each other." "Okay, like, uh, blood and a porcelain sink." " Exactly." " Great." "I have a definition here of "Trace" that says" ""An extremely small amount."" "Does that also apply here?" "Uh, yeah, it was a small amount, but it was the victim's blood." "A small amount from..." "let's say... a paper cut that one might have gotten mishandling freshly printed yoga class schedules?" "Well, that's possible, but..." "Okay, or maybe a small amount from a sliver after teaching yoga all day on a hardwood floor?" " Yeah, possibly." " Thank you so much." "Nothing further." "Mr. Morelli?" "No questions, Your Honor." "Mr. Gardner, you testified that you observed an individual with red hair enter the studio, but that you couldn't tell this redhead's ethnicity or gender." "Is that correct?" "I saw them from behind." "Them?" "Them?" " Was there more than one?" " No." "Um..." "I meant the person that I saw, the individual." "Right, right, right, the person you saw, who you can't otherwise narrow down in even the broadest of terms." "Male, female..." "Black, white, green, red..." "Are you for certain that this was, in fact, even a human?" "Objection!" "Your Honor, he's mocking the witness." "Sustained." "Mr. Morelli..." "Sorry." "In any event, you have no ability to claim that this red-wigged, red-haired person was my client or his wife." " No." " Could have been somebody else who frequents the yoga studio, right?" "A student, maybe a manager?" " Yeah, I guess." " No further questions." "Thank you." "Mr. Kaczmarek?" "Mr. Morelli said it all." "No questions." "The State calls Kurt Faber to the stand." "Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?" "I do." "Mr. Faber, you're the manager at the yoga studio owned by the defendants, is that right?" "For the last two years." "Yes." "And you have keys that could have given you access and opportunity to kill Russell Copley?" "Excuse me?" "Let's be frank," "Mr. Faber." "It's no secret that you and Russell Copley disliked each other, and if I were a defense attorney, looking to throw suspicion at somebody other than my client," "I might ask you if you were angry with Russell Copley." "Were you angry at Russell Copley?" "Yes." "He screwed me." "I-I'm sorry." "He backed out of a deal to open our own yoga studio." "Cost me my life savings." "But yet, here you are." "You're not a suspect in this case." "No charges have been filed." "What is your understanding as to why that is?" "I guess because I didn't do it." "Or because I was at St. Luke's that morning." "My sister's on the cancer ward." "I'm sure we all wish her well, Mr. Faber." "So you have an alibi?" "Yes." "Okay." "Now that we've got that out of the way..." "In your witness statement, you told police," ""The moment I saw Russell lying there," ""I thought Carly and Blake killed him." ""They had so many reasons to."" " What reasons are those?" " Objection, Your Honor." " Foundation." " Calls for speculation." "Sustained." "All right, let's try it this way." "Based on what you observed, what led you specifically to believe that Carly Donovan had animosity towards Russell Copley?" "Just Carly?" "Yes, I'm just asking about Carly." "They were arguing over the business" " and their affair." " Their affair?" "Yes." "Carly didn't seem too happy when it ended." "I heard her say twice with my own ears," " "I wish you were dead"." " She got what she wished for, didn't she?" " Objection." " Nothing further." "Your witness." "Deal's still on the table, guys." "Whoever wants to step forward." "Mr. Faber, did you have an opportunity to observe" "Blake Donovan's response at learning that his wife was having an affair?" "Yes, I did." "Can you describe that response?" "It was pure rage." "Pure rage?" "Mr. Faber, after everything that you saw and heard at the yoga studio, if you were to step into the decedent's shoes, hypothetically, of the two defendants, which one would you say is more dangerous?" " Blake." " Objection, Your Honor." "I ask that the jury be instructed" " to disregard." " Sustained." "It's an admissible hypothetical," "Your Honor, based purely on what he..." "I have ruled!" "The jury will disregard the question and answer." "Move on, counsel." "Pure rage." "I have nothing further, Your Honor." "Mr. Faber, did you witness a fight between Carly Donovan and the owner of the Vegan Rainbow Restaurant," "Ms. Amanda Purnell?" "Yes, I did." "Would you describe what happened?" "I was the last customer there." "Carly came in, screaming, and grabbed Amanda by the neck." " I-I had to pull her off." " Carly came in, grabbed Amanda around the neck and was screaming?" " What was she screaming?" " Objection." "Hearsay." "Exception to the hearsay rule, Your Honor." "Excited utterance." "Carly made statements spontaneously while she was strangling Amanda." "Bull." "In no way does this meet..." "Objection overruled." "Witness will answer the question." "She screamed Amanda was a lying whore, and that she had found something of Amanda's in Russell's bedroom." "The bedroom of the man that she was supposedly no longer committing adultery with." " Is that correct?" " Objection!" " Sustained." " Have you ever had to pull Blake off of anyone to save their life?" " No, I did not." " Of course not." "Thank you." "I mean, if I were on the jury, I'd think I did it." "Well, the testimony about you attacking Amanda does not help." "But it's nothing we can't get past." "I just don't know what to believe anymore, Nick." "I mean, she clearly was lying to me." "You know, I've been thinking about what you said about Carly being the most likely suspect." "I saw her apron and a pair of "Do-me" Boots at Russell's, and I just lost it." "I want there in a weak moment." "It was wrong." "But I didn't kill him." "And if I didn't do it, then who did?" "Okay." "Hold on." "Look, what I argued in court was a tactic." "Pure tactic." "I have to create reasonable doubt." "So does Nick." "I don't know what to believe anymore." "'Cause, Nick, there's something I need to tell you." "What?" "Our alibi." "It's a lie." "What are you saying?" "What part isn't true?" "That we were together." "Truth is, I was out jogging, and she was... she says..." "I was asleep." "I don't know where Blake was." "We lied because we needed an alibi... and because we believed each other, and I just don't... know what to believe anymore, Pete." "All right, Carly." "Listen up." "This case is based completely on circumstantial evidence." "We just stick to our defense, and I will bet you..." "Ten to one odds that the jury will clear both of you." "But what if they only clear one of us?" "I didn't kill anyone." "I'm not going to prison for something I didn't do." "I'll testify." "She lied." "I'm taking the deal." "I want the deal." "Hey." "Hey." " Neutral ground, huh?" " Yeah." "Neutral ground." "Listen, we're breaking all kinds of ethical rules here, so let me just get to it." "Nick, I wanted to give you a warning before I throw you under the bus." "Carly's going to take the deal." "It's what she wants." "Well, I appreciate the heads-up, but you can't take the deal, because I'm taking the deal." "That's what Blake wants." "What..." "You weren't even going to tell me?" "I sent you five messages." " You sent me five messages?" " Yeah." "Why didn't you call?" "Because I didn't want to hear your damn voice." "That's why." "Because you pissed me off!" " I pissed you off?" " Yeah!" "You turned on me in open court, for crying out loud." "Well, you gave me no choice." "You did the same thing to me!" "Well, that's because you kicked my ass with that cheap shot hypothetical crap." "You blindsided me with the vegan lady fight." "Pete, I had no choice!" "Come on, I got to protect my client." "Carly's taking the deal." "Oh, yeah?" "Not if I get to Cole first." "Hello?" "Hey, Nick." "It's me." "I just called you." "Hello?" "It's me again, Nick." "I did it again." "How do you do that?" " Hello?" "!" " Really, Nick?" " Three times?" " Cut it out!" " You have caller I.D." " Screw you!" "Screw..." "Hey." "Back off." "Oh, geez!" "That was my..." "That's a brand-new phone." "What are we doing?" "I'll tell you what we're doing." "We're doing Cole's work for him." "That's what we're doing." "That's exactly where he wants us." "Right here." "We let a case get between us." "Dump Carly?" "She was my client." "You tried to railroad me." "But Blake was my friend." "I'm your friend." "I'm your friend." "Nick." "I'm your partner." "You are?" "Come here." "Come on." "I hate to hug!" "Come on." "Show affection, Nicky." "All right." "Here." "Here." "That's the best I can do." "Well, all right." "All right." "All right." "All right!" "Good." "Now we got to figure out a way to fix this damn thing." "My place is closer." "I bet I could beat your Pontiac in my Cadillac." "I don't want to..." "Go, go, go!" "Welcome to the Law offices of Pete Kaczmarek." "Esquire." "Wow." "Hi, Zoey." "Good evening, Mr. Arnold." "Mr. What?" "What did you call me?" "What did she just call me?" "Uh, Mr. Arnold." "As in Benedict Arnold." "Come on." "You hire someone to replace her?" "Well, I-I need someone to answer the damn phones." "Well, she'll get over it." "Zoey, come on." "Get over it." "Will you?" "All right, what do we do?" "Where do we start with this?" "Okay." "I was trying to figure out..." "What the..." "Ah, crap." "Yeah." "Sorry about that." "You get what you pay for, and this place is a dump." "No kidding." " Where's the can?" " In the back." "This is an expensive suit, Pete." "All right." "What I think is that their case is still entirely circumstantial." "The only problem is, is that red wig, you know?" "Pete." "Pete." "That's the smoking gun." "We got to find a way" " to take care of that." " Nick!" "Nick!" " Don't go in!" " Pete!" "Your bathroom floor is flooded!" "These are new calfskins!" "Yeah, sorry, buddy." "The, uh, AC ducts, toilets, phone lines... everything's connected in a very unhealthy way in this building." "It's like living in a commune where at anytime anyone else..." "What?" "No." "This building." "This, uh... this commune." "Suddenly I love it." "I think you're going to love it, too." "What?" "Zoey, call Carly, call Blake." "We're going to need blueprints of their yoga studio." "It's all about connections." "Bingo!" "The pipes from the yoga studio" " and the vegan restaurant are connected." " Yeah, look." "They form a "Y" leading to the main pipe out of the building." " So it was found here in the cleanout?" " Yeah." "So, the wig could have come from here, the yoga studio, or here, the vegan restaurant." "And since the restaurant has a public bathroom, it opens up a pool of potential suspects who could have dumped the wig." "You're good." "I got to them right before closing." "Last pair." "And cashmere socks." "Zoey, I've missed you every second that you've been gone." "Oh, yeah?" "What about Honey Bean?" "Uh, hello." "I'm not in the office today because I've been fired." "You're the best." "All right, uh, question is whether or not we argue that it could have been anyone who dumped the wig in the restaurant bathroom." "A yoga student, someone off the street..." "Or we set our sights directly on Amanda." "Amanda?" "The little vegan girl?" "Carly thought she was sleeping with Russell." "She told me that she found" "Amanda's Vegan Rainbow apron there and a pair of "Do-me" Boots in Russell's bedroom." "That's why she confronted her." "Uh, "Do-me" Boots?" "You know, uh, "Do-me" Boots?" "Knee-high, leather jobs, meant to turn guys on, "Do-me" Boots." "Leather?" "Yeah." "Usually." "Right, ladies?" " Yeah." " Mm-hmm." "Huh." "Amanda's vegan." "She doesn't wear leather." "She gave me a bunch of grief for my calfskins." "Wait." "I just bought you shoes made out of baby cows?" "So maybe the apron she found at Russell's was Amanda's, but the boots were somebody else's." "So there's a third girl here?" "A mystery girl?" "Yeah, so Carly confronts Amanda about the boots, and that tips Amanda off that Russell's actually having an affair on her with a girl number three." "Yeah, a leather-boot-wearing animal killer!" "Yeah." "These yoga guys make out like bandits." "Till they end up dead." "Yeah." "Well, we've got motive." " Opportunity." " Access." "Damn." "We're good together." " Thomas Cole." " Hey, Tommy." "Morelli." "Deal time?" "Yeah, Cole, I wanted to talk to you about plumbing." "Plumbing?" "What?" "Wait." "Hang on a second." "Thomas Cole." "Hey, buddy." "Got some intel for you about Blake and Carly's neighbor, Amanda Purnell." "Vegan lady, loves rainbows, wouldn't hurt a fly?" "Get to it, all right?" "Morelli's waiting." "Well, it turns out that that fight that Amanda and Carly had was because Amanda was also sleeping with Russell." "That fight damages you." "Russell banging the entire New Age community doesn't mean jack..." "Hang on." "Yeah, about the plumbing..." "All right, Morelli, listen, if you want this to..."

"What do you want?" "You remember our crack investigator Tony?" "Well, guess what charge you will find on Amanda's credit card statement." "You're going to find that Amanda Purnell purchased a wig and a gun the day before she killed Russell Copley." "Nick and I are preparing a motion to dismiss all charges against both of our clients based on prosecutorial misconduct, ignoring exculpatory evidence and vindictive prosecution." "Unless, of course, you want to save us the trouble and just do the right thing." "Lisa, get your crap out of my office now." "I know it's still in there." "Already on it."
