"It's me." "Let me in." "Come on." "What are you doing here?" "I thought I put you on a plane." "Chris." "Hey, don't shush me." "What's going on?" " I need a place to stay for a while." " Well, you're not staying here." "All right." "Hold it." "Don't move." "You broke my nose, lady." " Here, let me fix it for you." " Please put that down, miss." "We've got no beef with you." "You invade my house, we got a beef." "Benny, this is no good." "Excuse the intrusion." "But your husband here owes me 15 grand plus interest." "Now, drastic measures must be taken." "You understand?" "I understand I want you out of here." "All of you." " In a minute." " Benny, it's not like I don't wanna pay." "Stop it!" "That's enough!" "Bryer." "You've got till tomorrow." "Then, that's it." "Come on." "Honey, I'm home." " Nice work, Rabb." " Thanks, Mattoni." "Good morning, commander." "Good job, commander." "This roo was kicking the crap out of me." "So I whack him with a solid right and boom." " Did you knock him out?" " Hell, no, I broke my bloody hand." "Well, welcome back, sir." "Good morning." "Nice job on the nerve-gas hearings, Harm." "Thank you, Carolyn." "It's nice to be back." "Sir, did you know our new foreign-exchange officer?" "Lt. Cmdr. Harmon Rabb." "Lieutenant Commander Mic Brumby, Royal Australian Navy." "I heard you were coming aboard, commander." " Gonna be with us long?" " I don't know." "Orders are open-ended." "I hear you did quite a job straightening out the Congressional Committee, commander." "Got lucky." "So how's Harriet, Bud?" "She's just hoping the first trimester ends soon, sir." "I think things are gonna get a lot easier when I finish my finals and get out of law school." "Well, come on, Bud." "Don't wanna keep the old man waiting, do we?" "Status on the Fry case?" "I suggest dropping charges, sir." "Admiral, if I may, I think that would be unwise at this time." "While I appreciate Commander Rugby's impromptu opinion, sir" " That's Brumby." " --The case holds no water." "The defendant has an ain'tight alibi." "Actually, commander, while you were gone," "I did a bit of work on that alibi." "Did you?" "I persuaded Seaman Fry's girlfriend that perjury was an unwise course." "And that your federal penitentiaries are such nasty places." "Anyway, she's disappeared, with his alibi and his CD collection." "Nice work, Commander Brumby." "Well, Rabb, that should free you up a bit." "I expect you wanna prosecute?" "Yes, sir." " Thanks." " Don't mention it, commander." "I'm sorry I'm late, sir." "Dead battery." "Seaman Ravner, accused of assaulting his lead petty officer." "I'll take it, sir." "Sergeant Stromfeld, drunk and disorderly, Mackenzie." "Senior Chief Roselli, homicide." "Brumby." "Lieutenant Moss, indecent exposure." "Sir?" "He allegedly dropped his trousers and mooned his fellow officer while he was jogging on the base." "Moon river" "Wider than a mile" "Wipe that smile off your face, lieutenant." "A charge like this could ruin a man's career." "Yes, sir." "I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of it." "I have to go type some briefs." "No pun intended, sir." "What, no bad jokes about my case?" "Something must really be bothering you." "Me?" "I'm fine." "You can talk to me about it, Mac." "I tried talking to you." "As I recall, you were in congress with a congresswoman." " How is Bobbi Latham, by the way?" " She's fine." "I'm sorry that I wasn't free when you needed me." "But I'm here now." "What's going on?" "All right." "I do have a slight problem." "Excuse me, commander." "Congresswoman Latham is on line two." "Tell her I'm busy." "Take a message." "Thanks." " It's her second call this morning." " Tell her I'm in a meeting, Tiner." "I'll call her later." "Thank you." " Aye, sir." " That's okay." "Take her call." "You know, if you give her time, she'll come around." "Who will come around to what?" "The major." "To trusting you again." "Look, here's the deal, you stray once, she'll forgive you." "You'll pay, but she'll forgive you." "I didn't stray." "You stray twice, she'll push you away forever." "First of all, I didn't stray." "Look, come off the grass, mate." "Second of all, I certainly don't need your advice on women." "And third, Mac is not a woman, she's a friend." "So there's nothing between you two?" "She's a free agent as far as you're concerned?" "Yeah, as far as I'm concerned, yeah." "Then you're right." "You don't need my advice." "I'll see you around." "I found a couple rib eyes in the freezer." "I hope you still like well done." "Chris, what are you doing?" "Cooking us a little supper." "Where's your garlic powder?" "You were supposed to be gone by the time I got home." "Yeah." "Well, I've been thinking about that." "Well, I gave you $3,000 and a plane ticket." "I don't want you back in my life!" "I was out of your life for 12 years." "How come you never got a divorce?" "Come on, Sarah, tell the truth." " Why didn't you divorce me?" " What difference does it make?" "A piece of paper does not make us man and wife." "We had more than a piece of paper between the two of us." "The divorce is just a formality." "I can get one anytime." "It's not just a formality to me." "I'm not behind bars now." "You can't throw me away so easy." " You don't have a choice." " Why?" "Because I'm a dumb ex-con and you're a Marine officer, a lawyer?" " I got plans, Sarah." " Don't include me in your plans." "You think I'm a loser." "I was good enough to get you away from your drunken daddy, wasn't I?" "I have a new life now, Chris." "It's a good one." "I'm not a fancy lieutenant colonel like your boyfriend, Farrow, am I?" "He is not my boyfriend." "Oh, you forget." "I saw you two in Okinawa." "Doesn't the Marine Corps frown on its officers messing around with their COs, especially if they're married?" "You see, I've got choices." "I can wreck your career if I want to." "You can't blackmail me into loving you, Chris." "I can hurt you in so many ways." "Get out." "I'm at the Hotel Normandy." "Room 401." "Enjoy your steak." "Husband?" "When were you married, Mac?" "A lifetime ago." "Look, he was in prison for five years for a felony." "We haven't lived together since." "I can get a divorce anytime." "So, what's the problem?" "He's threatening to tell about our relationship in Okinawa." "How's he know about it?" "He followed me there." "He saw us." "Look, you were rotating out at the time, Mac." "Yeah, but technically, I was still under your command." "That made it a violation of the UCMJ." "So it's his word against ours." "Are you willing to lie under oath to protect your career?" "My career?" "No, my career ended with that court-martial, Mac." "Remember?" "No punishment awarded?" "If maintaining sewers and filling potholes isn't punishment," "I don't know what is." "But I would lie to protect you." "That's very chivalrous, John." "But I wouldn't allow it." "I don't wanna see you hurt." "You know, I guess I never really stopped caring for you." "I remember when we were together." "I know." "I know." "So, what does he want?" "Me, he says." "I don't think much of his courting technique." "You say he owes money?" "Fifteen thousand plus." " I'll talk to him." " No, I'll handle it." "I only came here because I thought you had a right to know." "I'm glad you did, but I'll talk to him." "You don't know him, John." "He's dangerous." "I've been expecting you." "Hello?" "Harm, it's me." "Who is this, Bobbi?" "Mac." "Mac?" "What the hell time is it?" "What?" "I don't know." "Listen, I need your help." "Why?" "What's wrong?" "I've been arrested." "Arrested?" "For what?" "For murdering my husband." "Enter." "Major Mackenzie was arrested last night." "Commander Rabb will brief you." "Have a seat, gentlemen." "Christopher Ragle was shot to death in his hotel room last night." "Lieutenant Colonel John Farrow and Major Mackenzie were there." "They've been arrested on suspicion of murder." "Who's Christopher Ragle, sir?" "He's the major's husband." "Major's what?" "Apparently, Major Mackenzie was married." "Who's this Colonel Farrow?" "Mac's former CO." "He was court-martialled last year for sending troops into Haiti against orders." "Members found him guilty but awarded no punishment." " Good defence attorney." " Thank you." "Of course, he's facing administrative separation." " Continue, commander." " Yes, sir." "A 9 mm Sig Sauer was found on the scene." "Partial prints on the weapon belong to the major and the colonel." "Any gunfire residue?" "It's inconclusive." "What about motive?" "Police believe it was a lover's triangle." "Sounds like they have a good circumstantial case." "They don't." "We do." "The U.S. Attorney has a full caseload." "He's turning this one over to us." "We're charging Mac and Lieutenant Colonel Farrow with murder and conspiracy." "Commander Ted Lindsey will prosecute." "Ted's a damn good litigator." "Admiral, I propose myself as defence counsel." "With all due respect, sir, I think that's a bad idea." "Given Commander Rabb's relationship with Major Mackenzie." "I don't give a rat's ass what you think, Birnby." "That's Brumby." "With all due respect." "That's exactly my point, sir." "He's too emotionally involved to be objective." "Admiral, sir, I respectfully request permission to defend Major Mackenzie in this trial." " Permission granted." " Thank you, sir." "Commander Brumby, you will defend Lieutenant Colonel Farrow." "Mr. Roberts, you will assist." "Now, I expect you two to work together." "If you can't, I will replace both of you." "Understood?" " Yes, sir." " Yes, sir." "Dismissed." " Aye, aye, sir." " Sir." "I didn't know how you wanted it so I left it plain." "I'm not hungry, thanks." "Thanks again for keeping me out of the brig." "Lucky the Navy doesn't consider you a flight risk." "Wanna tell me about your husband?" "He showed up last week needing money." "I gave him $3,000 and a plane ticket." "Then three nights ago he came back." "Three goons were after him." "They broke in." " Did they hurt you?" " No." "They beat up Chris pretty bad." "He spent the night." "On the couch." "When I came home later that evening, he was still there." "I asked him to leave." "It got ugly." "Did he threaten you?" "In a way." "The next day, I drove to Quantico and told Colonel Farrow about it." "Why did you go to him?" "Because she trusted me." "I was her first CO." "Mentor, I guess." "So you decided to play Sir Galahad?" "No, I decided to help a friend." "I went to Ragle's hotel room." " I gave him the money." " Fifteen thousand dollars?" "Twenty thousand." "Enough for him to pay off his loan and get out of town." "And as I was leaving the hotel, I ran into Mac coming in." "She insisted on talking to Ragle for one last time." "So I went up with her." "When we got to the room, he was dead." " Did you see anybody else there?" " No." " So, what happened to the money?" " I assume the killer took it." "So Ragle was blackmailing you?" "Yeah, but not just for money." "He wanted me back or so he said." "Do you wanna know if I killed him?" "As your friend, yeah." "As your lawyer..." "Here's how I see it." "You and Farrow showed up to talk to him." "The door was open." "You went in." "He was already dead." "Farrow picked up the weapon." "He handed it to you." "You phoned the police." "My client says he's innocent." "What does your client say?" "I didn't ask." "I see." "You feel knowing the facts will hamper your defence?" "Facts can be misleading." "If I was prosecuting," "I'd propose the husband comes from Mac's dim, dark past and threatens her." "She calls Farrow." "They conspire to kill him." "Mac is not a murderer." "Well, you didn't think she was married either." "You know, there's always the loan shark." "Loan sharks don't kill you, Harm." "They can't collect if you're dead." "Well, what would you have us do?" "Plead them guilty?" "Certainly not." "But we should decide if they're guilty or not so we can defend them accordingly." " What do we got here?" " Desk clerk." "Manager." "What are you spying on us for?" "This is my hotel." "I've got a right to know what's going on." "Do you?" "Tell me, mate, what went on here last night?" "No, no, no." "I already talked to the cops." "And I'm not saying nothing more without my agent." " Your agent?" " Yeah." "The tabloids pay good money for stuff like this." "I'm not gonna give it away for free." "I've got somewhere I've gotta be." "And as to whether they're guilty or not?" "They're not." "I called your office, but they didn't seem to know where you were." "But you did." "Hey, you told me you liked to come here." "I figured it was a safe bet." "You look worried." "How's Mac?" "She's not great." "I'm sorry to hear that." "You've been avoiding me." "Yes." "Well, at least you respect me enough not to lie." "Well, you can deal with the truth." "That's one of the things I like about you." "What else do you like about me?" "Besides the obvious." "Your integrity." "Please." "You're not afraid to admit when you're wrong." "Especially when I'm wrong in front of the whole country?" "Bobbi, I'm sorry about the sarin investigation." "Forget it." "It was the best thing that could've happened in my career." "We know how Americans love a good mea culpa." "We're working on my "I was arrogant, but I'm humble now" speech." "How's that for integrity?" "I think it will probably get you into the Senate." "You're a fantastic woman, Bobbi." "If my life were different..." "Right now, the last thing I need in my life is commitment." "So..." "Friends, okay?" "Detective Maldone, what time did you arrive at the murder scene?" "Eleven thirty-five p.m." "And what did you find there?" "Christopher Ragle, dead, shot in the chest." "And the two defendants waiting for me." "Was there any sign of a break-in?" "No." "What type of wound was it?" "Contact." "Abrasions around the edges, no tattooing." "The gun was right against his chest." " Was there a struggle?" " Hard to say." "If there was a struggle, which way would the victim have fallen?" "Down." "Your witness." "Detective, who called the police?" "The defendants, I believe." "Is this typical behaviour for a murderer?" "To call the police and then wait for them to arrive?" "No, not typical, but I've seen stranger things." "No further questions, Your Honour." "Did you get statements from the suspects, detective?" "From Colonel Farrow only." "Major Mackenzie said she would speak only through an attorney." "So Colonel Farrow cooperated, but Major Mackenzie did not?" "That's correct." "And what conclusion did you draw from Major Mackenzie's unwillingness to cooperate?" "She was playing it cagey." "Your Honour, I would like that remark stricken." "Objection." "It was a proper defence question, asked and answered." "The response stays." "Sir, I request a 15 minute recess to confer with counsel." "You may." "We'll break for lunch, and resume at 1400." " Yes, sir." " Yeah." "What the hell are you doing in there?" "Defending my client." " The same as you." " No, not the same as me." "You're trying to make Mac look guilty." "Look, Mac is a lawyer, Farrow isn't." "The members know that." "It's only natural she would ask for an attorney to be present." "Why bring it up?" "If they had planned the murder together," "Farrow would've asked for a lawyer too." "By showing they behaved inconsistently, we reduce the impression of a well-thought-out conspiracy." "It makes sense, sir." "So slip me a note next time, all right?" "We're supposed to be working on this together." "You got it." "Defence may call its first witness." "Defence calls Lieutenant Colonel John Farrow." "Please state your name and duty station." "Lieutenant Colonel John Phillip Farrow," "Deputy Maintenance Officer." "Marine Corps Base, Quantico." "You commanded the headquarters and service battalion at Camp Butler on Okinawa, correct?" "That's correct." "And the then First Lieutenant Sarah Mackenzie was your administrative officer?" "Yes." " Was she a good officer, sir?" " Yes, she was." "One of my finest." "In fact, it was on your recommendation that the Marines pay for her law school, was it not?" "Yes, it was." "Colonel, did you and Sarah Mackenzie have an affair while she was under your command?" "Objection, Your Honour." "Irrelevant." "Overruled." "Witness will answer." "Yes." "We saw each other." "But she was already transferring out." "And my recommendation for law school, that was prior to our relationship." "There was absolutely no impact to the good order and discipline of my command." " Did you know that she was married?" " No." "So you did not knowingly commit adultery, sir?" "No, I did not." "But Major Mackenzie did, didn't she?" " Your Honour." " Knowingly commit adultery, that is." "Sir, I move for immediate severance under RCM 906." "Your Honour, the government strenuously objects." "It's a bit late in the game for separate trials, commander." "On what grounds?" "Sir, the defence counsel is eliciting testimony which is unduly prejudicial to my client." "I'm simply trying to get all the facts out, Your Honour." "This court will recess until 1000 hours tomorrow morning at which time, I'll hold an Article 39 Alpha session to hear arguments for separate trials." "The members will not attend." "Counsellors, this better be legitimate." "It was unethical." "I acted in the best interest of my client." "By accusing the major of adultery?" "She was guilty of adultery." "You planned to pin this murder on her from the start, Brumby." "Untrue." "That is untrue." "I only decided that today." "Did I hear you right, commander?" "I am convinced Major Mackenzie killed her husband." "Farrow is innocent and I will defend him to the limits of my abilities." "And if that means incriminating the major, so be it." "You are a self-serving, arrogant bastard, Brumby." "One day, you and I will have a private conversation about that." "Oh, that we will, Brumby." "That we will." "Maybe your tactics work in the Australian Navy, but I don't think much of them here." "Perhaps the admiral would like my tactics better, if they were in Major Mackenzie's favour?" "Careful, Brumby." "Permission to speak freely, sir?" "What the hell have you been doing?" "All you lot, Rabb, Roberts, even you, admiral, sir, you're all Mac's friends." "But you're all a little bit in love with her." "Not that I blame you, but it clouds your judgement, sir." "Have you considered the possibility that she is guilty?" "Yes, I have." "And what?" "You dismissed the idea?" "Well, I can't dismiss the idea, sir." "It's my job to investigate that very possibility." "Either I defend my client as I see fit, sir, or I step down, sir." "Let him defend his client, sir." "And I'll defend mine at separate trials." "Admiral Morris will make that decision." "You defend your clients, gentlemen." "But don't you turn this into a mudslinging contest." " Is that clear?" " Yes, sir." " Yes, sir." " Dismissed." "Well, things certainly have gotten interesting around here since I've been away, admiral." "You don't know the half of it." "I told Brumby, I'm telling you." "No more testimony that hurts Mac." "You've got my word on it." "Let me just say up front that I'm reluctant to grant severance this far into the proceedings." "However, I will hear Commander Rabb's motion." "Why do you want separate trials?" "Your Honour, I believe that Cmdr. Brumby's defence is antagonistic toward my client." "Based on what?" "Have you two discussed it?" "In general terms, sir." "Well, then, let's get specific." "Cmdr. Brumby, do you intend to introduce evidence prejudicial to Major Mackenzie?" "No, Your Honour." "Apparently not." "Approach." "What's going on here?" "My client has informed me that he will refuse to answer questions that might tend to incriminate Major Mackenzie." "What is that?" "The fifth by proxy?" "Is this a trick, gentlemen?" "Are you setting me up for an overturn on appeal?" " No, sir." " No, Your Honour." "Because if you are, I will get you both disbarred." "Am I clear?" " Aye, sir." " Yes, sir." "That will be all, gentlemen." "Defence motion denied." "The trial will continue." "Staff sergeant, summon the members, please." "Colonel Farrow, would you please describe what occurred in the hotel room on the night in question?" "I went there intending to buy Ragle off." " I've been expecting you." " Do you know who I am?" "Yeah." "I know who you are." "Twenty thousand, cash." "Very generous, John." "Drink?" "Take the money." "Get out of her life." "Let's have a drink to consummate our deal." "To Sarah." "My wife." "Bless her cheating heart." "Expect you gone by tomorrow." "You steal a man's wife." "You try to buy him off." "I've been waiting to do this ever since Okinawa." "What, do you have a need to go back to prison?" "No." "You came up here in a jealous rage." "You threatened me." "I had to defend myself." "And that's when Major Mackenzie showed up." "She took the gun from me." "We tried to use the telephone." "It wasn't working." "So we called the police from her car." "Thank you, colonel." "No further questions." "Colonel, why didn't you tell police this story when they questioned you?" "Well, I was afraid they wouldn't believe me." "They'd think I was trying to protect Major Mackenzie." "Well, aren't you?" "Object." "Badgering." "Sustained." "Colonel, what happened to the money?" "I don't know." "The last I saw it was in the room." "Well, the police never found it." "Now if your story's true, where's the money?" "I don't know." "That is not how it happened." "Mac, it gets you off the hook." "It puts John squarely on it." " I wanna testify." " No." "I will not let him take the heat for me." "I wanna tell my story." "It's my Constitutional right." "I know what your Constitutional rights are." "I'm your lawyer, remember?" "Now I'm advising you not to testify." "Either you put me on the stand or Brumby will." "Major Mackenzie, did you visit Christopher Ragle at his hotel room on the night of the murder?" "Yes, I did." " Why?" " To reason with him one last time." "I've been expecting you." "Ain't exactly the Ritz, but I've been in worse." "You too, as I recall." "Remember the backroom of that honky-tonk outside of El Paso?" "That morning you swore you'd always love me?" "Remember?" "It was a long time ago, Chris." "You should never have walked out on me." "I didn't come here to fight with you." "I came to tell you goodbye." "If you wanna ruin my career, go ahead." "Personally, I think you'd be hurting yourself too." "The healthiest thing for you" "Don't tell me what's healthy for me." "You don't have a right." "Goodbye, Chris." "Don't." "You're so beautiful." "I'm sorry." "Then you'd better kill me now." "Because as long as I'm alive, you don't get to have a life." "Not without me." "I'll find you wherever you go, Sarah." "I'll kill your men, I'll kill your kids." "Then I'll kill you." "And there's nothing you can do to stop me, so you'd better shoot me now." "Counsellor?" "No further questions, Your Honour." "Sir, I have one." "What happened next, major?" "I shot him." " You clearing out your desk, major?" " Taking some work home." " Well, can I help you with that?" " You've done enough, thank you." " I'm sorry the way things turned out." " Are you?" "The thing of it is, I never meant to hurt you, Mac." " I mean, this isn't personal." " You're right, commander." "There's nothing personal between us and never will be." "I was just doing my best for my client." "If you were my client, I would have done the same for you." "Well, that's a comforting thought." "Well, you don't seem very comforted." "I wish there was something more I could do for you." "There is." "Would you hold this?" "Now I'm comforted." "Yeah?" "Quite a shock in court yesterday, sir." "To say the least." "What's on your mind, lieutenant?" "I couldn't talk about it because it was privileged." "But since Colonel Farrow testified and it's a matter of record," "I can talk about it now, sir." "Spit it out, Bud." "Yes, sir." "The bag of money, sir." " The one the police never found?" " Yes, sir." "I was there when Colonel Farrow first told Commander Brumby about it." "That bag exists, sir." "I know." "You know, sir?" "I contacted FBI Special Agent Novak." "Colonel Farrow's savings account." "He withdrew $20,000 the day of the murder." "The money does exist." "The question is where is it?" "Somebody took it." "Somebody who was in Ragle's room that night." "But the only people who were there were the major and Colonel Farrow." "And one other person." "I could get fired for this because the owners don't like any trouble." "This ought to cover your risk." "Let's get some light on the subject." "Well, that's what we intend to do, George." "You know, the cops have been all over this place." "So maybe if you guys can tell me what you're looking for, maybe I can help you out." "I think you know what we're looking for." "No, I don't." "Came up here after Christopher Ragle was murdered and took something." " No." " He's lying, sir." "I believe you're right, Mr. Roberts." "Now, wait a minute." "I agreed to let you in and that's all." "I don't have to answer your questions, you've got no authority." " Where's the money, George?" " What money?" " What are you talking about?" " The $20,000." "You came up here before the police arrived and you stole it." "I never stole nothing." "I'm out of here." "George Ludd, 1983, possession." "'84, breaking and entering." "'87, petty theft." "'93, more B and E." "You're a liar and a thief by profession, George." "Look, I've paid my debt." "I've been clean for five years now." "Five years, huh?" "Well, that's a long time." "So you think the owners know about his record?" "Not all of it." "No." "What do you think they'd do if they found out?" " You know how they hate trouble." " Okay." "After the guy and the girl left, I came up here." "And I saw him leave the room." " Who?" " Oh, come on, man." "If he finds out I told you, I'm a dead man." "Who, George?" "Benny Turpin." "Well, Commander Bugmy didn't waste any time getting here, did he?" "I hope you don't mind that I called him, sir." "Officially, I am still his assistant." "So you are, Bud." "Gentlemen." "Commander Rabb, Lieutenant Roberts." "Benny Turpin." "Have a seat." " Quiet." " And try to keep your voices down." "People are trying to read." "We're not wearing a wire." "Mickey explained your predicament." "But I don't see how I can help you." "Benny admits he took the money." "It was my money." "He owed it to me." "Why shouldn't I take it?" "So you were" "Sorry." "So you were there that night." "Yeah." "But I didn't kill Ragle." "You know who did?" "I can't get involved." "There's too much profile." "Well, you understand." "We can subpoena you, Benny." "I'll deny I was there." "You can't prove it." "No, but we can prove that you broke into Major Mackenzie's apartment." "It's home invasion, assault." "That's good for five to ten, you know." "It's her word against mine." "Surveillance cameras in the hallway." "Benny, we've got a tape." "Please state your name and occupation." "Benny Turpin." "I'm in financial aide." "Mr. Turpin, were you at the Normandy Hotel in Room 401 on the night of October 27th?" "Yeah, I was there." "Did you see who murdered Christopher Ragle?" "Yeah." "Nobody." "Here's what happened." "I go into his room." "My boys are downstairs." "There's some things you handle yourself." "I figured you'd show." "The girl shows up." "Now they start to talk about this and that." "How she had vowed she loved him then she left him." "So on and so forth." "Now he's getting steamed." "Goodbye, Chris." " He grabs her." " Don't." "He starts pulling her towards the bed." "That's when I almost stepped out because I don't go for this stuff." "You're so beautiful." "I'm sorry." "Chris." "Then he pulls a gun." "Then you'd better kill me." "Because as long as I'm alive you don't get to have a life without me." "It was like he wanted her to shoot him." "It was the weirdest thing I ever saw." "Oh, then she throws the gun away." "That's when the cavalry showed up." "Twenty thousand." "Cash." "He comes in with 20 grand." "My money." "You bother Sarah again I'm gonna squash you like the cockroach you are." "You try to steal a man's wife." "You try to buy him off and you call me scum?" "I've wanted to do this ever since Okinawa." "And things heated up fast." "Sarah?" "It's okay." "It's okay." "It's okay." "And they left." "That's when I grabbed my money and got out." "Is there any doubt in your mind, sir, that Christopher Ragle intended to shoot Colonel Farrow?" "If she didn't grab the gun, he'd be dead by now." "Her too, maybe." "It was self-defence, Your Honour." "Sir, there is insufficient evidence to sustain a conviction of murder." "The defence moves for a finding of not guilty." "I object, Your Honour." "This man is a thug, a knee-breaking loan shark." "That may be." "But I got no reason to come here and lie."
