Will: "Sure, whatever."Cary: "Got it, let's go!"
COURTHOUSE
Diane: "ASA Pine, hello. Weren't you in the South Bend Prosecutor's Office?"
Geneva: "Yeah, like a long time ago..."
Diane: "You were the assistant prosecutor on the Eddie Fornum homicide."
Geneva: "Yeah, I gotta go."
Diane: "You had Eddie's hair retested six years ago..."
Geneva: "Yeah, I'm not talking to you about this."
Diane: "They are literally going to put him to death, Ms. Pine. They tried once, and they're doing it again in 48 hours."
Geneva: "Yeah, and you had ten years to appeal his execution. Don't come to me with 40 hours left."
Diane: "You seem to think he's innocent, then?"
Geneva: "I think... You are out of time."
Diane: "So just give me the hair test!"
Geneva vanishes, but Diane calls Will to confirm that the evidentiary path is working out, if he can just get them more time, which is where Scheck's class action comes in.
CLASS ACTION
Scheck: "Your Honor, those dudes coming into the courtroom are suddenly my co-counsel, a Mr..."
Will: "Will Gardner."
Scheck: "Will Gardner."
Will: "Your Honor, if it pleases the court, we ask that the execution of..."
Lena Cesca, the opposition in the class action, jumps right up in there; the Judge is Jeffrey Tambor as Judge Kluger.
Kluger: "...Way ahead of you, Cesca. This is bullshit."
Will: "We're not asking to join the suit, we are submitting him as evidence."
Alicia: "Mr. Fornum's testimony is obviously relevant as to how much pain is suffered in the subject of lethal injection because he just had one."
Cesca: "Your Honor! Fuck this!"
Kluger: "Or not. This is kind of cool."
Alicia: "Executing him now is tantamount to destroying crucial evidence for the plaintiff."
Cesca: "They're trying to delay an execution!"
Kluger: "Yeah, obviously, she just said that. How long to depose him?"
Counsel: "[Various times, from a month to indefinitely.]"
Kluger: "You have until Tuesday, 48 more hours than before. You're not saving your guy with schemes, just buying time."
Counsel: "Time is all we need. But meanwhile, what a good thing to have in your big trial! Two birds, one stone. Um, so to speak."
