Episode 3 Part 3
Alejandro is with Sofia. There's also a JUDGE, a BAILIFF, a COURT REPORTER (the Wizard), and the AUDIENCE. Cosmo Miller is on the podium. The bailiff is holding a bible. Cosmo Miller places his hand on the bible. BAILIFF: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God? COSMO MILLER: Certainly. I'm not a liar! Cosmo Miller sits. The judge turns to him: JUDGE: So, Mr. Miller, please tell us what happened the day of the accident. COSMO MILLER: Yes, your Honor. On the day of the accident... COSMO MILLER: ..., I left my home at 4:00 P.M. I got in my car and drove down to the restaurant. COSMO MILLER: I drove past Rick's Bar. That's when I saw Alejandro walking in. COSMO MILLER(CONTINUED): So I got curious because none of my employees drink before work. So I parked the car, got out, walked over to the bar and opened the door. COSMO MILLER: Then I looked around for Alejandro. He was at the bar. He ordered whiskey and drank it. COSMO MILLER (CONTINUED): Then he drank a tequila. Then he drank a vodka. I was very angry. I left and went to the restaurant. COSMO MILLER (V.O.): Later that day, Alejandro came to work. He was very, very drunk. He walked up to me and said... I quit COSMO MILLER: He threw his apron at me and went into the kitchen area. COSMO MILLER: He made a mess of everything. He wouldn't listen to me. COSMO MILLER (CONTINUED): Alejandro, you're drunk! You need to sit down and rest. COSMO MILLER (CONTINUED): He pushed me down and tried to hit me. He missed, the shelf broke and everything came tumbling down on him. COSMO MILLER: (Very Angry) Your Honor, he was drunk and his medical expenses aren't my responsibility. JUDGE: Thank you, Mr. Miller. You may sit down. SOFIA: (quietly, but ferociously, to Alejandro) What a liar! He makes me so angry! You didn't go to the bar! Alejandro looks ashamed. ALEJANDRO: Sofia. I went to the bar. SOFIA: You did? ALEJANDRO: Yes. But I won't tell them! SOFIA: Alejandro, you have to tell them the truth! ALEJANDRO: But we need the money. JUDGE: Mr. Alejandro Cordero! Could you please come to the stand. SOFIA: You have to be honest, Alejandro! ALEJANDRO: It'll be OK. Alejandro nods. With crutches, he makes it to the stand. The bailiff places Alejandro's hand on the bible: BAILIFF: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God. ALEJANDRO: I do. Alejandro sits down. The judge turns to him: JUDGE: Is it true, Mr. Cordero, that you went to a bar on the day of the accident? Alejandro looks at Sofia. Sofia looks at him.
