Scenes with Branch 5

[about a transgender murder suspect] I guess I'm more sympathetic to Cheryl than a prosecutor should be.

BBranch

Maybe you'd like to defend her instead.

She sure could use better representation than that self-serving snake Berger.

BBranch

Reptile though he may be, Morty Berger is a damn good attorney. He deserves a worthy adversary. Think about this: Who's going to give Cheryl a fair chance -- you, or some other prosecutor who'll put her gender on trial?

Got a minute?

BBranch

When you save a young girl's life, you get 2. Have a seat.

I can't do this.

BBranch

Sure you can. Just bend your knees and let gravity take over.

[D.A. Arthur Branch looks at Novak's story in the papers]

BBranch

What the hell were you thinking?

Cora's mom went to the papers. How's that my fault?

BBranch

You gave her the bologna, and she made the sandwich! Says so on page 3. You told her to shout her story to the rooftops.

She's frustrated, and she's voiceless. And the law can't help her.

BBranch

Which is the reason you have no business involving yourself in this mess.

We speak for the victims. And you taught me that.

BBranch

Crime victims. Nobody's committing a crime here.

Mike Jergens did! So should a rapist who's been her husband for a week get to pull the plug on Cora?

BBranch

She married him.

He conned her! He doesn't know what Cora really wants.

BBranch

And you do?

Her mother does.

BBranch

Based on what? Letters? Diaries? A memorable conversation? A living will?

Based on the mother knowing her child.

BBranch

That's not enough.

There's a difference between law and justice.

BBranch

Casey, I agree. But this is not your fight.

[Novak turns on the TV, which shows NY1 coverage of a picket in front of the courthouse]

BBranch

"Protect the disabled". Looks like there's no stoppin' mama now.

[on NY1, Virginia speaks to the press]

VVirginia

This rapist is trying to kill Cora. Do not let him do it. Please. I know my daughter. I know she wants to live. Help me fight back. This is legalized murder. Please! Help me send a message to the judge, to protect the disabled.

[Novak mutes the TV]

BBranch

Don't let a tragedy turn into a circus. Convince Mrs. Kennison that the case oughta be tried in a court of law. Not in a court of public opinion.
