A beacon in this vast and dark
wasteland that is our modern world.

1:46:06
And yet....
1:46:09
Yes?
1:46:12
In this case,
if the truth won't set you free...

1:46:18
...then lie.
1:46:26
Did this incident take place on the ramp
to the expressway, or on the avenue itself?

1:46:33
On the avenue. Right on the street.
1:46:37
Was there a barricade, or an obstruction
of any kind, that forced the car to stop?

1:46:45
No, there was nothing like that at all.
1:46:51
Just one last question.
1:46:54
Who was driving the car
when Henry Lamb was hit?

1:47:02
Sherman never let anyone drive his car.
1:47:09
So, Sherman McCoy was driving the car?
1:47:17
Yes.
1:47:22
Lock him up! Bang it shut!
Lock him up! Bang it shut!

1:47:28
Chill, everybody. Chill!
1:47:31
And there it was.
1:47:34
The end of Sherman McCoy.
1:47:37
It wasn't the ending I was hoping for.
1:47:39
All my work, all my efforts,
down the tubes.

1:47:44
My hero was gone. Finished.
1:47:48
Maria might as well have put a gun
to his head and pulled the trigger.

1:47:52
She and everyone in this courtroom.
1:47:55
I saw a wave of triumph wash over them.
1:47:58
I could feel them rising like the tide
as Sherman sank before them.
