Branch and Novak in “Unfinished Business”

What the hell were you thinking?

Novak

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

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.

Novak

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

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

Novak

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

Crime victims. Nobody's committing a crime here.

Novak

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

She married him.

Novak

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

And you do?

Novak

Her mother does.

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

Novak

Based on the mother knowing her child.

That's not enough.

Novak

There's a difference between law and justice.

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