Accidental Obsession

1

Miss Williams, Miss Williams...

I'm just going to answer

a couple questions.

Ms. Williams, this is an

astounding verdict of Not Guilty

on all counts surprising

many in the legal community

as well as the press,

and public.

My client is innocent and found

to be by a jury of his peers.

Now contrary to public opinion,

a defendant should not be tried

by the media.

The evidence against your client

was overwhelming

from the forensic experts

to the eye witnesses.

Many are shocked by

the outcome of this case

and chalk it up to your

client spending a fortune

on a legal team that was able to

manipulate the system

and win on technicalities.

How do you respond to that?

Twelve neutral members of this

community weighed the evidence

and decided in favour

of my client.

Justice has been served.

That's all for now.

That was defense attorney

Heather Williams

winning the biggest case

of her career.

A huge victory for defense

attorney Heather Williams.

Not many in the legal community

were predicting this outcome.

Oh come on! We won!

You should be ecstatic.

You are a celebrity now.

Oh Lisa, a celebrity? No.

What?

Nancy Grace wants you

on her show.

I'm not interested

in Nancy Grace.

Heather! There you are!

Congratulations kiddo,

you did it.

Thank you.

Now your brilliant work will

make Ruben & Associates

one of the most sought-after

law firms in the state.

And you, rightly so,

deserve to be a part of it.

That is, if you accept.

Saul if you're asking me to be

a partner I absolutely accept.

Oh thank you Saul.

Oh my God.

Wow.

Hmm?

I will take that.

You go.

Stop.

Congratulations counsellor.

You did it.

Well, thank you.

We did it.

I just can't believe it's over.

18 months on this case.

Thousands of cups of coffee.

Airports all over the world.

You know what the best part

of this job was?

What?

Getting to know you.

Thank you.

After the dust settles,

would you have dinner with me?

I would love to.

Good.

Good.

Unfortunately I have

to get going.

Previous commitment.

Oh that's a shame.

Party's just getting started!

I know.

Love to stay but I have a client

leaving the country

in the morning so...

Oh.

Sounds like there's

a possibility

of some international intrigue

in the works.

Could be but you'll

never know.

Client confidentiality and all.

Call you later.

Ladies.

Alright.

Good night.

Bye Jack.

Oh stop that.

Why not?

He's handsome and smart

and I saw the way you two looked

at each other.

You know what?

Let's celebrate the victory.

Okay well if you want me

to start dropping any hints

just let me know.

Lisa.

Yes?

Can I have a moment

with Heather please?

Sure.

Thank you so much.

Look Heather I've got to go

but before I do,

I just wanted to let you know

that I'm letting you to take

the lead on the Eli Boden case.

Really? Are you sure?

Why not?

You did fantastic on this case.

I mean, you deserve it.

Oh thank you.

Now Boden's got deep pockets.

And if we get this guy

as a client

it could put us on the map.

Alright.

I'll file a writ.

Judge Andrews

will never go for it

but it will give us some time

to build a defense.

You're going to go far.

Aww, thank you Saul.

Have a good night.

Everybody having

a good time?

Congrats all, everybody.

Well done.

Heather.

What the hell are you

doing here?

You look as lovely as ever.

What's it been,

almost two years?

Yes.

I see you all over

the television.

Thought I'd come down here

and congratulate you in person.

Oh cut the crap.

What are you doing here?

Is there somewhere more private

we can go?

No.

I want you back.

What?

Listen I know I screwed up

our relationship

and I take full responsibility

for that.

But I've changed!

Are you joking?

Getting involved with you was

the biggest mistake of my life.

What on earth?

We were good together Heather.

You have to give me

another chance.

No we weren't

and no I don't.

I don't even trust you.

I think it's time for you

to walk away.

You know what?

I'm going to walk away.

It's not going to be that easy

Heather.

Don't you remember

the good times?

Yes.

We had so many special

moments together

and we can have

so many more.

I remember those

special moments

and that's why I'm going

to say goodnight.

Don't contact me again.

Are you okay?

Yeah yeah.

I saw Ray.

I know. He's leaving.

Are you sure?

Hey. I'm a new partner.

Let's go celebrate.

Okay.

Hello girls.

I had a good night.

Did you?

Morning!

Hey.

Hi there.

There's two nice surprises

for you on your desk.

Ooh two airlines tickets

to a tropical island resort?

Not quite that exotic but

I think you'll like them.

Bring me the Eli Boden file

would you please?

Nice ring.

Thank you!

Oh, wow.

I have Jack Reilly on hold.

Shall I tell him you're

unavailable?

Ha-ha, very funny.

Put him through please.

Hi Jack.

Good morning.

I just happened to be

in your neighbourhood.

Are you available for lunch?

I have a client lunch but I

would love to go take a walk

with you afterwards and get

some fresh air.

Are you up for that?

Absolutely.

Okay I'll see you at 2:00,

good? Queens Park?

I'll see you there.

Great. See you then.

Hello.

Nice to see you away

from your desk

and outside the courtroom

counsellor.

It is. Thank you.

You're welcome.

You know I have a little

confession to make.

Oh yeah what's that?

I did a little research

on you.

Oh really?

Mhm.

What did you dig up?

I know that you served

in Afghanistan and Iraq.

And then you joined the agency.

Very good.

And then you resigned to go

into private investigating.

You really have been

checking up on me.

Mhm.

I could have worked anywhere,

FBI, Secret Service.

I decided I wanted to work

for myself,

then I could choose what cases

to work on and when.

Mhm?

Being a private investigator

fit the bill.

And since we're on the subject

of confessions

I have to admit I've been doing

a little checking up

on you myself.

Oh really?

Oh.

Single the past two years.

No kids.

And your favourite food

is Japanese.

Oh, no.

No what?

It's now Indian.

That's a huge error there.

Yeah it is.

Well then I guess I better get

to work on finding

the best Indian restaurant

in town

for when I take you

out to dinner.

Well thank you.

You know your CIA sources

can help you with that I think.

Oh trust me, they're on it.

Oh good.

I'm happy we were able

to do this.

So am I.

Hey Jack.

Nice kiss for a first date.

Talk to you later.

Damnit.

Oh Damnit.

Oh my God, ughh.

Are you alright?

Uh yeah I'm fine.

How come you slammed

on your brakes so fast?

I'm sorry, a dog just ran right

out in front of my car.

I couldn't hit an animal.

I'm sorry, it doesn't matter.

It's my fault anyway

I hit you right?

So let's just exchange

information.

Right.

Oh god.

I don't have my

driver's license.

I must have left it.

I do know my number

by heart.

You know it really doesn't

look that bad.

It's probably not worth
