The Whole Truth Page #3
No shame in it.
I spent 18 months on antidepressants.
You still on 'em?
A low dosage.
'Cause once
I introduce you in court,
you can't decide halfway through
that it's not your thing.
I'll be there.
Your dad says you've got a
world-class bullshit detector.
Who lied this morning?
On the stand, you mean?
They don't teach
this in law school.
Yes, all witnesses lie.
About what?
Keeping their jobs,
winning the case, money...
Most people skim... morality.
We all want to be good
little girls and boys.
Sex... just assume everyone's
screwing everyone else
unless proven otherwise.
And the big one,
avoiding humiliation.
You'd think folks would be scared
of prison or lethal injection.
Nope.
It's loss of face.
And this morning,
the flight attendant...
Angela Morley?
She seemed evasive
when you asked about
passenger manifests,
looked at her hands
after she answered.
I guess Lassiter
took women on his flights.
And she didn't want to lose her
next job admitting as much.
Next?
The limo driver...
Went out of his way to say he
drove straight to the airport.
So maybe they stopped
to pick up a woman?
And me?
What did I lie about?
You've been on a private plane?
And since we walked
in this room?
antidepressant in your life.
As you heard,
my client isn't
speaking to anyone,
including me,
which means I have to defend him
without knowing all the facts,
which means I'm finding
out the facts on the fly.
So if your bullshit detector
goes off, you tell me.
Other than that,
you're window dressing.
A mixed-race woman at the table who
thinks your client is innocent.
That's the deal.
Your honor.
I wish to introduce my associate
Janelle Brady to the court.
Relation to Walter Brady?
Yes, your
honor, his daughter.
Fine lawyer.
I got a call at 4:42 P.M.
Domestic violence, possible 187.
And 187 is?
Homicide.
And this is late afternoon
on February 4th.
Yes, sir.
And you responded?
I was the closest car.
I didn't know whether
I should wait
for backup or go in,
but I was told the situation
was under control,
so I went in.
Please hurry.
It's my husband.
Who is that?
Michael, our son.
What did you do first?
I made sure the victim was dead.
He was.
Hello? Loretta?
I called our lawyer.
I'll go.
I should've done this
a long time ago.
What, if
anything, did Mike say?
"I should've done it
a long time ago."
Objection, your honor.
This is inconsistent
with the officer's
prior sworn statement.
Judge, I'm simply clarifying...
Officer steed's
police report states...
"Should've done this
a long time ago,"
not "I should've."
