Fracture Page #2

- Classic.

- Classic.

Yeah, no problem.

- Classic.

- Uh-huh.

Just makes sure it comes with cuff links

and knee pads.

- Willy.

- Ahh.

That's not classic.

That's what I'm saying.

Before. After.

That's the way I go.

God wants to see you.

Our god?

Who art on the fourth floor.

Mr. Lobruto?

Mr. Beachum.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

William "no middle initial" Beachum.

Wow, a 97% conviction rate.

That's impressive.

Thank you, sir.

'Course, you traded all your losing cases

to other D.D.A.s.

Well, uh...

I took on two or three cases

for every one I gave away.

They just couldn't

handle their caseloads...

and I don't like to lose.

Uh, you won't always

win working at Wooton Sims.

Ahem.

Working at Wooton Sims

sort of is winning.

Isn't it?

Well, you'll need a middle initial.

Sir?

Well, those guys all play squash

and have middle names.

Ahh. Huh.

They go in for their mother's

maiden name a lot.

Well, my mother doesn't

have a maiden name.

I think you belong here, William.

Well, with all due respect, sir...

I just didn't work this hard

to stay where I belong.

Yeah, well... I didn't think so.

Well, you have your litigation experience...

your chops...

and your, uh,

juicy private sector job.

Pretty soon you'll be

courtside at Laker games.

Anything else the city of

Los Angeles can do for ya?

No, sir. I think that'll be all.

Yeah.

It's a cummerbund, Willy.

Huh. That's gonna go

around your waist, OK?

- Mm-hmm.

- OK.

- Are we good?

- Uh-huh.

- Good.

- All right.

Willy?

Willy, come on.

Pick up the phone.

Uh...

What, Norman?

Got an attempted homicide.

Guy shot his wife, she's in a coma.

Arraignment's at 3:00

with Judge Moran.

You do still actually

work here, Willy. Right?

Norman, would you just find

somebody else to do it?

Everybody's booked.

Look, it's not going to trial.

There's a weapon with prints...

and a signed confession.

Just take the arraignment,

wait for the plea.

It's a real confession?

Spontaneous and signed.

Come on, Willy.

All right, but, uh...

here's the problem.

OK, that'll do!

I've given my ruling.

If they want to squabble,

they can take it outside.

I apologize, Your Honor.

Your Honor, please.

Your Honor.

Mr. Beachum.

Nice to see a man

who dresses for court.

I'm very sorry, Your Honor.

Very sorry.

It's a long story.

The people of the

state of California...

versus Theodore Crawford.

Your Honor, the public

defender is representing...

Mr. Crawford

for his arraignment...

with the understanding

that he will secure...

private counsel

for all further proceedings.

Mr. Crawford,

you have been charged...

with section 664 slash 187...

of the California penal
