Quotes
-
Arthur Branch : [to Cabot] Alexandra, did you do a deal with Joseph Blaine?
ADA Alexandra Cabot : He pled guilty to man two.
Arthur Branch : Man two. For double murder. I think you let that oily-tongued Tennessee weasel Barry Moredock outmaneuver you.
ADA Alexandra Cabot : Mitigating circumstances came to light during the trial.
Arthur Branch : What mitigating circumstances?
ADA Alexandra Cabot : A particularly egregious instance of corporate greed.
Arthur Branch : Corporate greed is the beating heart of America, Alex.
ADA Alexandra Cabot : I'm not accountable to corporate America.
Arthur Branch : But you are accountable to me and I won't let two innocent boys die without punishing someone for their murder. Do you believe this bleeding-heart nonsense that Aptril made Joe Blaine kill?
ADA Alexandra Cabot : Tauscher Leto put that medication into Joe Blaine's hands, substantially diminishing his responsibility for his actions.
Arthur Branch : So who's guilty?
ADA Alexandra Cabot : I don't know yet.
Arthur Branch : Then find out. And I don't care how high you have to go.
