01:45So, what's the holdup?
01:47Uh, judge is working on a hearing.
01:50Some drunk beat up his girlfriend.
01:52♪♪
02:02♪♪
02:12♪♪
02:22Here it is.
02:23You sure it's alright if I tag along?
02:25Yeah.
02:27I don't think I'm ready for this.
02:30Do you want me to take you home?
02:33Yeah.
02:34Okay.
02:36No.
02:38You can't keep avoiding people.
02:41Just let me know if you want to leave.
02:43It's no big deal, really.
02:46You've only been in recovery a month.
02:48Don't be so hard on yourself.
02:51Thanks.
02:55There's the guest of honor.
02:57Sorry we're late.
02:58Don't worry about it.
02:59Everybody's looking forward to meeting you.
03:02Oh, uh, this is my friend Lee Darcy.
03:05Lee works at Eastgate.
03:06We do volunteer work together.
03:08Lee, this is Ben Bennett.
03:09Ben's on the board of the Nature Foundation.
03:11Nice to meet you.
03:13Glad you were able to make it.
03:15I've met you before, haven't I?
03:18Eastgate.
03:19Do you work with John Ross?
03:20He and I have done a bunch of deals together.
03:22I know Mr. Ross, but I don't think he knows me.
03:25I work in the machine shop.
03:30Alright, well, come on.
03:32Have a drink.
03:36Do you hike?
03:38Would you two like to tag along?
03:40That sounds fun.
04:09I just realized where I've seen him before.
04:14I saw him get charged with a felony a few months ago.
04:20He thinks I'm the biggest asshole on the face of the planet.
04:26Ben, do you have a boyfriend?
04:51No.
04:53What about you?
04:54Do you have a girlfriend, Ben?
04:56No, I'm gay.
04:57But I don't have a boyfriend.
04:59You don't act like a gay.
05:12Hey.
05:15Hey.
05:21You doing any farther?
05:24Thought I might head up to White Top.
05:26Me too.
05:28You hiking alone?
05:29Yeah.
05:31Me too.
05:32All my friends are tied up.
05:36I got the impression they weren't that into hiking.
05:38They were, uh, they were kind of colorful.
05:44Enjoyed meeting your girlfriend.
05:45She was, uh, pretty colorful.
05:49So you're arrogant and you're gay.
05:53Yeah, I'm gay.
05:59Actually, I'm dating George Wickham.
06:03Didn't he defend you after that drunk beat up your girlfriend?
06:13Yeah.
06:17He did.
06:26Well, I'm gonna get going.
06:29I'll see you around.
06:48What are you doing here?
06:50Just here to see how...
06:54Come on, Daddy.
07:00Hello?
07:03Karen, this is Ben Bennett.
07:05Ben's an attorney at Abingdon.
07:08Ben, this is my wife, Karen.
07:14It's nice to meet you.
07:24Hey, thank you for having us.
07:26I'm glad you came.
07:28You guys know Lee and Kathy.
07:29Hi.
07:32So where's George?
07:33Looking forward to meeting him.
07:37Didn't work out.
07:39Oh.
07:42Why don't we go inside and I'll show you around.
07:45Maybe on the deck.
08:12Hey.
08:23You don't have to go.
08:24You don't have to leave just because I got here.
08:29I know it's not any of my business, but...
08:32Why'd you plead guilty to a felony?
08:34I take full responsibility for what I did.
08:39I just don't remember the details.
08:43I understand I said,
08:45I'll kill you when I've pushed her.
08:47What was the evidence that you said that?
08:51Well, my neighbor heard me say it.
08:54And my attorney, George,
08:58he said I didn't have a defense
09:00because there's an independent witness
09:03testifying against me.
09:05And I have no memory of what happened.
09:10I'm finally taking responsibility for my actions.
09:14Making excuses doesn't change anything.
09:21I'm really sorry about what I said the day of your hearing.
09:24I didn't know you were there.
09:26I wasn't thinking about what I was saying.
09:28I didn't have any idea what I was saying.
09:31I'm really sorry.
09:38I better go.
10:02Where are the trash bags?
10:04I'll get them.
10:06Thanks.
10:16It was good to see you again.
10:20Yeah.
10:24Look, thanks for what you said about my hearing.
10:29I really appreciate it.
10:31You're welcome.
10:51I got him.
10:58Well, let's go.
11:28Morning.
11:30Hey.
11:36That's a little awkward.
11:38You remember when I...
11:40When I...
11:42When I...
11:44When I...
11:46When I...
11:48When I...
11:50When I...
11:52When I...
11:54When I...
11:56That's a little awkward.
11:58You remember when I ran into you at Chuck's cabin?
12:00Right after that, I found your journal.
12:04Yeah, I was wondering where I lost that.
12:06Yeah, and then I meant to give it back to you,
12:08but for some reason, I didn't think I should give it back to you in front of Kathy.
12:12I mean, I didn't read or anything, so I don't even know if he talks about her,
12:15but I imagine since it's a journal.
12:17And then I forgot I had it.
12:20And then when I remembered I had it, then I thought that you would think I just...
12:25Didn't read it or anything.
12:27But I read a little bit of it, but nothing bad.
12:30Just, you know, personal stuff.
12:35Anyway, there it is.
12:39Just some personal stuff?
12:41Yeah, just...
12:45Mostly a guy being too hard on himself.
12:49I'm thinking about going hiking later today.
12:54Where are you going to go?
12:56Up to Woburn Ridge.
12:58Woburn Ridge? Is that past Green Cove?
13:00Yeah.
13:01Yeah, I haven't been there.
13:09Oh, I could get my car and follow you over there.
13:12That sounds like a plan.
13:15Why do you drink?
13:17There's things about me I hate.
13:20Things I can't understand.
13:28I'm sorry.
13:30I'm sorry.
13:32I'm sorry.
13:34I'm sorry.
13:36I'm sorry.
13:38I'm sorry.
13:40I'm sorry.
13:42I'm sorry.
13:52It's granite.
13:56It's all over the place up here.
13:59Where did you learn that?
14:01I studied geology before I dropped out of college.
14:04We should head back.
14:35Have a good one.
14:37Do you want to get something to eat?
14:43Where are you thinking about going?
14:45I don't care.
14:47The diner.
15:05All right.
15:08I'll see you there.
15:26I gotta go.
15:28Okay.
15:30All right.
15:34I had a good time.
16:05What's wrong?
16:07You okay?
16:09Jane told me it isn't working out.
16:11Why did she say that?
16:13She came up here last night.
16:15Why?
16:17She didn't say.
16:23I was trying to act like...
16:25my breath hadn't been knocked out of me.
16:27I don't understand.
16:29I don't understand.
16:31I don't understand.
16:33I don't understand.
16:37Hello. Can I help you?
16:39Yeah.
16:41My name's Lee Darcy. I'm here to see Ben Bennett.
16:43Is he expecting you?
16:45No.
16:47He's in a conference right now, but I think he'll be out soon.
16:50You can have a seat if you'd like to wait.
17:04I love you like this.
17:06I just really needed someone to talk to.
17:08I know.
17:10It's hard right now, but in the end, you'll see.
17:12All right?
17:14Chuck's a great guy, but...
17:16he's never gonna make anything of himself.
17:18You just have to keep that in mind.
17:22I know.
17:33I know.
17:46Ben, Lee Darcy is here to see you.
17:51He invited to see...
17:53to help me figure out why Jane decided to break up with Chuck.
17:58I guess I got my answer.
18:03The first person's view were right.
18:06He's just another pretentious faggot.
18:09I'm sorry.
18:32You're gonna file a writ of actual innocence for Lee Darcy.
18:35What?
18:37Lee Darcy?
18:39Why would I do that?
18:41It's pretty simple.
18:43Lee's neighbor told you her testimony was false.
18:45You ignored her.
18:47You breached your duty to defend Lee because you see him as nothing more than a thief.
18:50You told me all this while screwing around on your wife.
18:55Lee came to see me.
18:57About what?
18:59About Chuck.
19:00Chuck?
19:02What did he say?
19:04Um, he didn't have to.
19:07Basically, Chuck is broken hearted.
19:09And I'm a pretentious queer who should have minded his own business.
19:13He's right.
19:15But what you said made a lot of sense.
19:18No, it really doesn't, Jane.
19:22What are you talking about?
19:30I'm talking about Chuck.
19:33He loves you.
19:35You love him.
19:38How often does that happen?
19:43There's a hearing on my case on Tuesday.
19:51I thought your case was over.
19:56The court dismisses its previous order.
19:59And the felony conviction of Lee Darcy is vacated.
20:02We stand adjourned.
20:06Congratulations.
20:08Court cleared your record.
20:13Save it.
20:15Ben Bennett moved heaven and earth for your worthless ass.
20:36I thought I'd catch you before you went in.
20:39You're up early.
20:41I just left work.
20:43Right.
20:46Look, I'm not really good at this.
20:51I really appreciate what you did for the courthouse.
20:56I'm sorry.
20:58I'm sorry.
21:00I'm sorry.
21:02I'm sorry.
21:04You're welcome.
21:08Also...
21:11I'm really sorry about what I said in your office the other day.
21:16It's all right.
21:20So what happens now?
21:25I, um...
21:29My buddy called from Atlanta.
21:31That job's still available.
21:35I don't have a record now, so I can leave the state.
21:38He says it starts next Monday.
21:44So I guess I won't be accusing you of anything.
21:52Yeah, I'm not...
21:54I'll let you get back to work.
22:05I'm sorry.
22:07I'm sorry.
22:09I'm sorry.
22:11I'm sorry.
22:13I'm sorry.
