Let's talk about the Tripley scam.
Well, that was April's lie. And I believed it.
We have the scrapbook.
[Nora looks on at Conrad, then turns to the ADA]
Well, it's not as though he's an innocent victim, is it? He's a pedophile. He deserved it!
I'd just as soon clear this one off the books, so fill in the blanks and I won't charge you with the fraud counts related to it.
[Conrad whispers into her client's ear, then turns to Novak]
It sounds like you know everything already.
Crime lab found a hair in April's underwear.
During the party, I snuck into his room, and I took it from his hairbrush. When they asked me for the clothes she'd been wearing, I'd already planted it.
Do you have any idea how much damage you've caused?
But you agree with me! He deserved it!
He deserves to go to jail! Thanks to you, he can claim he's the victim of a false allegation every time a legitimate one comes up in the future!
Sorry.
I don't believe you. But you'll have a good long time to pay for it in prison.
We just made a deal.
I'm not charging her with fraud on Tripley. I'm charging her with fraud on the cancer scam.
Münchausen.
Bull! She's been working this for a year. Totaling all the bake sales, canister donations, and Internet solicitations, she's bilked people out of 60 grand!
What are you offering?
Not a thing. I'm taking you to trial.
Please! Please! Think of April! There is no one else to look after her!
You've gotta be kidding me! What you were doing nearly killed her! I'm charging you with fraud and attempted murder.
But you heard what she said! I'm sick!
No jury's that stupid. They'll see it wasn't Münchausen. Just pure unadulterated greed.
