The Practice1997

[Ellenor got back to the law offices and slams the door closed. Lucy raised her hands]

Lucy Hatcher:
I didn't do anything.

Ellenor Frutt:
Where's Jimmy?

Jimmy Berluti:
Right here. What?

Ellenor Frutt:
You signed-off on murder two with Clyde Miller just like that?

Jimmy Berluti:
We had to take it or leave it. One time offer.

Ellenor Frutt:
So why did you take it?

Jimmy Berluti:
Because he was looking at first degree.

Ellenor Frutt:
We still could have tried the thing.

Jimmy Berluti:
And lost.

Ellenor Frutt:
But maybe won. There evidence...

Jimmy Berluti:
Oh, please.

Ellenor Frutt:
Jimmy, there were no witnesses. I just beat a much tougher case on this one a month ago with Darryl Hutchins. [Bobby finds out what's with the noise]

Bobby Donnell:
What's going?

Ellenor Frutt:
Clyde Miller. He just copped to second degree.

Jimmy Berluti:
There were no rabbits to pull on this one, Ellenor, they had them dead to center.

Ellenor Frutt:
Even so, Jimmy, this seems a little rush, and since I am second chair. I think you could have run this by me before...

Jimmy Berluti:
I didn't think you wanted to be bothered. [Lucy got a telephone call and she has some good news in the results]

Lucy Hatcher:
Okay. Good news. Henry passed the polygraph.

Jimmy Berluti:
He did?

Lucy Hatcher:
Yes. They transfer him to the courthouse.

Bobby Donnell:
What's he taking the polygraph for?

Jimmy Berluti:
Richard Bay, I worked with him p last night. He said if he passed the lie detector, he endorsed his release.

Bobby Donnell:
Bay's going to recommend release now?

Jimmy Berluti:
He said a polygraph will sell him.
