You Killed Your Son! - Law & Order

so suppose anna hopkins had an unrequited thing for blanchard and suppose she thought janine was the reason it was unrequited hell has no fury like an unrequited laptop see what the gossip is around the water cooler are you kidding the only one around here in love with charles blanchard is charles blanchard so there was nothing personal between he and anna hopkins oh sure there was he made her nauseous that's odd because his wife seems to think women are crazy for him oh he's okay until you spend some time with him the man may not always be right but he is never wrong if you know what i mean he's the feudal lord and we're all his serfs plowing his fields let me ask you this did anna ever mention a reporter named janine wilson sure said she was a nice lady foolish but nice she thought jenny was wasting her life waiting around for blanchard she knew that janine and blanchard were having an affair who didn't you don't interview someone for an article for four years so janine actually came by the lab sure two three times a week she left her kid with anna when she and blanchard went off to lunch when was the last time she was here okay this time i saw her was a couple weeks ago he was doing better yesterday and then this morning he woke up with a fever of 103. they've released everyone else i pray to god that bastard rots in jail i don't know if he will janine i thought my virus was the same as that in the vial it was it got into me somehow damn it it had to be the injection you're probably right so what's the problem you what you told the police that you hadn't seen anna hopkins in months i know that you saw her at the lab just a few weeks ago why did you lie she says she had a paternity test four years ago at blanchard's insistence he certainly thinks highly of her janine said she wanted to keep the whole thing from her son as long as blanchard stuck it out with his wife mrs blanchard know about the child janine says absolutely not oh we'll see how long dr blanchard has an alibi after you tell her after i tell her arthur was right this sort of thing's better handled woman or woman if you expect me to start throwing dishes you're mistaken to be honest i expected some kind of reaction why your husband not only cheated on you but he fathered a child with another woman i never wanted children that's not the point no your point is that i should feel betrayed minimized used well i hate to ruin your day but i don't mrs blanchard most women are fools their husband cheats and their first calls to the divorce attorney i have to admit that would be my reaction these are the same fools who stand by their husbands charged with embezzlement or even murder i'm sorry but to me those crimes are a bit more morally reprehensible excuse me sure [Music] speaking of murder your husband's son tanner just died of course i remember charles and i had dinner in and then finished working the sunday crossword puzzle i think we went to bed around 11. and you're sure you're thinking of the night of the 12th not the 11th perhaps or the 13th yes because it was a monday that's when we typically work the crossword good did your husband leave the apartment let's say to walk the dog we don't have a dog to go to the corner store to get some ice cream he was home all night no further questions did you know your husband was having an affair no how did it make you feel when you found out i'm human it hurt he certainly isn't the first husband to cheat this wasn't a one-night stand mrs blanchard this was a four-year affair there really any difference he had a baby with her mrs blanchard what did you have for dinner the night of the 12th prime rib did you and your husband have wine for dinner that night [Music] mrs blanchard [Music] yes i'm sorry [Music] i can't do this my husband is you killed your own son objection he was not home with me that evening i lied about everything chamber's your honor [Music] she was your witness miss swan i know that what i didn't know was that she'd commit perjury with which story she's obviously an emotionally disturbed woman hell-bent on vengeance i want a mistrial on what grounds a witness's credibility is an issue for the jury she obviously offered contradictory testimony from which a jury can refer whatever it is her testimony was in and of itself a criminal act i move that you order the jury to disregard it in its entirety nice try my swan sorry then i want to redirect her it's your funeral that was some performance mrs blanchard it was the truth of course it was you wouldn't lie under oath i tried your conscience i know tell me mrs blanchard do you know a martha harlow if you didn't hear the question she was one of charles's students and he had an affair with her i see how about denise lowell do you know her she's a member of our club and charles had an affair with her too you caught the two of them in your bed isn't that right i'm sorry i didn't yes and cheryl bennett lin siegel lauren phelps madeleine broome he had affairs with all of them too didn't he yes and those are just the ones you know about god only knows how many others there are let me ask you something mrs blanchard doesn't that make you angry mrs blanchard yes angry enough to want to get back at him yes angry enough to do anything yeah even lie to have him sent to prison objection overruled answer the question yes now truthfully mrs blanchard was your husband home with you on the night in question yes chambers sorry counseling choose a story mrs blanchard any story just try to stick with it okay it's obvious what happened jack she tried to lie she couldn't look thanks to your wife the jury could go either way on this i'm willing to offer a deal do i look that stupid shut up charles for once in your life i wish you'd learned to keep that damn mouth of yours shut luckily it doesn't matter it was all an act your entire testimony and i'd like to thank miss sutherland for reminding me that the bourgeois fantasies about fidelity and marriage are still running rampant in this country excuse me or you made me realize it's easier for a jury to believe that a wife would like to hurt a scoundrel than lie to protect him that's perjury prove it we don't have to you already admitted it on the stand right of course i did but then i corrected myself and told the truth whatever that is
