Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Season 12

[during Doug and Jane's arraignment]

Judge Andrews:
Lot of charges here, Miss Hardwicke. I hope you aren't trying to substitute quantity for quality.

Hardwicke:
Your honor, the defendants are serial con artists who've defrauded countless victims.

Seaver:
Then why isn't the gallery overflowing with 'em?

Hardwicke:
[turns to Jerry in the gallery] One is seated right there. Jerry Bullard.

Seaver:
You mean the man who's willingly paying for my client's defense.

Hardwicke:
That's irrelevant.

Judge Andrews:
Mr. Shankman, wanna pipe in here on behalf of your client?

Shankman:
Yes. Yes. My client would like to plead not guilty, your honor.

Seaver:
As does mine.

Hardwicke:
And the People request remand for both defendants, who have displayed quite a talent for trickery, coercion, and threats. Both use aliases, both lack community ties, and both are an extreme flight risk.

Seaver:
Your honor, I don't know about this other suspect, but my client has no history of violence and has never been charged with a crime.

Doug:
Uh, me, neither. I've never even been fingerprinted.

Judge Andrews:
Sir, if you have something to say, you need to say it through counsel.

Doug:
[about his attorney] But he's not sayin' anything.

Hardwicke:
Your honor, in addition to the charges before you, the defendants are also suspects in an out-of-state murder. It would be irresponsible to allow them to go...

Judge Andrews:
Are you asking for an extradition hold?

Hardwicke:
Well, no. Special Victims collected the defendants' DNA and sent it to Miami PD. But we're still awaiting confirmation.

Judge Andrews:
Then you're tap-dancing while I should be at lunch. Bail will be set for each defendant at $250,000. Both will surrender their passports. [bangs gavel]
