But I ended it.
:05:03
And it won't ever happen again.
:05:08
Why didn't you tell my husband the truth?
:05:11
Oddly enough, Mrs Kennicut,
I am a moralist -

:05:15
a vanishing species, so I'm told.
:05:22
A thousand broken marriages
come across my desk -

:05:25
infidelities, domestic deceit.
:05:31
In your case, ten years of marriage
and one brief indiscretion.

:05:36
So, why not bend the truth a little bit?
:05:43
- But... Then you're not going to tell him?
- I haven't and I won't.

:05:50
File's closed.
:06:01
Thank you.
:06:05
Thank you, Mr Brimmer.
:06:10
I am so grateful.

:06:33
Whenever anything happens on the inside

:06:42
It is our only stock in trade.
:06:45
I'm currently working on a case
where it would be very beneficial

:06:49
to have certain information
about a federal judge

:06:53
- that your husband supports.
- Are you saying

:06:57
you want me to be
a pipeline to my husband?
