Previously on L .A. Law. Mind if I take this off?

I'm hot.

Holy holly hock -a -la.

You always were my biggest fan.

Nice catch.

You are hungry for me. Every night, you are in my dreams.

While you're trapped in here, dream of these.

Not long ago, I had to raise capital and take on a silent partner. You're

referring to Eric Shuler? Have you met my husband, Mr. Beckham? No, ma 'am.

Perhaps I should meet him. Perhaps you should not.

Pending your meeting with Eric Shuler, I want you to join me at the studio.

When the huntsman came back with the heart of a young boar he had killed, the

queen had it salted and ate it, believing it was Snow White's

Little Red Riding Hood.

I, um, took a home pregnancy test.

We're gonna have a baby.

We're gonna have a baby.

Our third night under the same roof.

And I must say, it feels wonderful.

This trial period is exactly what we need.

Time to restore our commitment, rekindle our passion. Douglas, please.

No.

That's what you said last night. You're blocking my light.

I've been sleeping in this bed for days.

We haven't made love once.

Are you sure?

Positive.

I yearn to be with you.

Douglas, I'm not interested.

Since when?

If you must know, since you moved back.

But this was your idea.

It's just that...

Our body chemistry seems to be off.

When we were separated by divorce and prison walls, I felt amorous.

Now I just feel... Distant.

Disgusted.

Oh, all right, sweetheart. If you want to, go ahead.

You got five minutes?

God's sake, Sheila.

I can't perform under time restrictions.

It humiliates me and degrades the act.

Five minutes.

Take it or leave it.

I'll take it.

Next up, Graney versus Maggie Farms Incorporated. Maggie recently

swine slaughtering and finishing plant adjacent to Steve Graney's property.

What's the stink? Exactly. Our client, Mr. Graney, is unable to enjoy his

weekend retreat due to the unbearable stench blowing in the wind from next

I filed a nuisance suit to shut down Maggie's farm. On to new business,

Labs. Ann Kelsey, you will be working with me on this one. I will. Apparently,

they discovered a major breakthrough.

Two of their chemists are flying in from Phoenix to discuss marketing strategy.

Very high price.

And you'll assist with corporate structure. Happy to help, Douglas. Next

little notice?

Overseas call, excuse me. As I was saying... Must be time for my

Stuart, you seem to be back on top of your game again. Yeah, the phenytoin's

really doing the trick. If we could just get back to... Sorry.

Hello? Yeah, sure, Sidney.

It's Ben Flickery. I'll just be a minute.

I will not have Becker's entertainment law become the tail wagging this legal

dog. Who's he working for, Worldwide Studios or Mackenzie Brackman? Bad

connection from Milan.

That was quick. Oh, it's not me.

Me either. Oh, sorry, that's me.

It's a false alarm.

I thought I haven't figured this thing out yet.

My batteries must be running low.

Since my business is show business, look for my name in lights, everybody.

Can't you people have the decency to come to a staff meeting unplugged?

I think we're adjourned.

We just don't understand this.

You're telling us that he can get out after only eight years. Mr. Holtz, this

file just landed in my lap yesterday. I'm still looking it over.

That nut should have gone to the gas chamber, not some hospital with...

Tennis courts and weekend privileges.

You can be sure the DA's office isn't keen on letting killers back on the

street. David was found not guilty by reason of insanity. The prosecutor said

would be sent away for life.

In theory, that's true. The catch is the state can't hold your son -in -law

unless... David Orcott stopped being our son -in -law the day he murdered our

daughter. The state cannot hold Orcott unless he is deemed dangerous or crazy.

Is someone suggesting that he's not?

A few docs, but the senior psychiatrist at MacArthur Hospital disagrees. So what

happens now? We go to court as planned, and we try to block David's effort to

win release.

I could use your help in convincing the jury.

Name it. I'd like to put Mrs. Holtz on the stand.

Why? The police record says that you discovered your daughter's body.

I'd like the court to hear you describe that experience.

She was alive.

Excuse me?

When I found Sandra, she was still trying to breathe.

She was gasping for air.

She died in my arms.

Like all great discoveries, it was purely accidental.

Tom and I were at Stanford doing research.

Grinding up patches of skin, isolating compounds.

Just basically fooling around.

Where did you get the skin?

Oh, discarded casts.

I can't tell you how many Sundays we've spent digging through dumpsters behind

orthopedist offices.

Anyway,

one day in our lab, we noticed that certain compounds isolated from female

made us, well, horny.

So we went looking for similar compounds in male skin. And once we found those

we knew we had what we thought we had. What exactly is it you have?

Human pheromones. Come again?

Airborne hormones.

When inhaled by the opposite sex they trigger the urge to...

Copulate. You see, it's common knowledge that insects and lower mammals use

smells to attract their partners.

As humans evolved, scientists assumed that we left that part of the mating

behind. But we still have tiny amounts in our skin. We've been able to

concentrate those pheromones.

Pink for females, blue for males.

Full. There's enough in there to turn on this entire building.

Do you have data showing how your formula works?

Ream.

Until our meeting tomorrow with Donique Cosmetics, we need a safe place to keep

our samples.

Could we use your bank safe deposit box?

Certainly. Of course, we have a small vault here at the firm. I alone hold the

combination.

Guard this with your life.

Otherwise, it'll be cold showers for everyone.

Tom and Jay.

A couple of comedians.

If this formula actually works and we close this deal, this could mean a new

for this firm.

Where are we going? What was so urgent? You ask too many questions. I told you,

Becker, it's a surprise.

By the way, let me confess.

I was the one behind that desert escapade, stealing your Porsche.

Ben, I really would like my car back.

You expect miracles, Charlton Heston. I'm not.

Things got a little out of hand and, well, this is all we recovered.

Oh, my baby.

I know how you feel.

Once I was going to meet Crosby.

The night was still. I drove a Nash. I was young.

Teach your children well, Becca. Remember that. Which is why I have to

My daughter and you, you didn't... Have sex with Francie? No, sir.

That's my boy chick. We couldn't have worked together if you had.

Our relationship would be too complicated.

Could it possibly be more complicated?

Hop in.

We're here.

Sir? How about?

We could have walked. Slappers walk. That's why they're called slappers.

Becker, from all of us at Worldwide, No man deserves this more than you.

Welcome to our studio.

Piper? Come on, Becker, drive American.

Central Casting, they're extras for 65 bucks at a Florida murder.

Louder, damn it, like you mean it!

Mazel tov.

Dr. Scheinbaum, what was David Orcott's condition upon admission to MacArthur

Hospital? He was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic. How did you treat his

illness? Antipsychotics, stress management, and psychotherapy.

The results?

For three years, David has been free of schizophrenic symptoms.

So long as he takes his medication, he's as sane as anyone in this room. Doctor,

do you believe Mr. Orcott poses a danger to society?

None whatsoever. He's already spent a full year in an unlocked facility as

of a conditional release program.

And during that time, was Mr.

Orcott allowed to enter the community unsupervised?

Yes. Every day, he'd walk to the public library and spend his afternoons working

the checkout desk.

Never with any problems.

Doctor, is it your recommendation that David be released from his hospital

commitment? Yes. Even taking into account the events that led to my

hospitalization? David's untreated schizophrenia brought on delusions that

wife was being unfaithful, poisoning his food. After five days of heavy drinking

and sleeplessness, David suffered a psychotic break.

He was overcome with irrational fear and rage, which led to an overwhelming

impulse to kill Sandra.

In your opinion, could David ever do something like this again?

No. David is diligent about taking his medication, determined never again to

lose control.

Thank you, Doctor.

Your witness.

Dr. Scheinbaum, isn't your recommendation to release Mr.

Orcutt opposed by the senior psychiatrist at MacArthur Hospital?

That's correct, but... I am quoting Dr.

Philip Morton's statement.

Mr. Orcutt remains a substantial danger to the community.

Dr. Morton is a career bureaucrat who refuses responsibility. What would

if Mr. Orcutt went off his medication?

Could he become violent?

Schizophrenics generally are not violent, do not become murderers. You're

answering the question, doctor. Could Mr.

Orcutt become violent?

Possibly. But David makes sure he takes his medication.

But currently, don't you blood test him twice a month to ensure he complies?

That's hospital policy. He's also under the daily scrutiny of the medical staff,

isn't that right?

Yes. And if Orcutt is released, would he be blood tested and monitored by

doctors? No. So there would be no way to make sure he takes his medication.

No. Then how can you guarantee David Orcott won't have a relapse? Medical

statistics... I'm not talking probabilities.

Can you guarantee that man will not kill somebody in the future if released?

Of course not.

I can't guarantee you won't either.

I didn't bludgeon my wife 15 times with a hammer.

Objection. Withdrawn.

Leland, I've finished reviewing the Osgood file.

Good. I want to obtain polygraphs on both Frank Osgood and Philip Tice.

Can you help me with the DA?

You think Tice is telling the truth?

I still have my doubts.

If we can use the DA's polygraph specialist, maybe they'll stipulate to

admissibility. Why this sudden urgency?

Tice is in the hospital.

Stomach cancer is worse.

It may not last much longer.

See what I can do, sir. Thank you.

Stuart?

Stuart, got to talk to you a second?

Yeah, hi Gwen, what's up?

I owe you an apology.

Go ahead.

Well, Anne must not have told you, but during all that craziness with whoever

was stalking me, sending those deranged gifts, it's all stopped now, but at one

point, I thought it was you.

You did?

Wild, huh?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

An expert witness was supposed to arrive 20 minutes ago. Maybe his train got

delayed. These days, who rides the rail?

This guy doesn't fly. Claims his signatures can't handle the altitude.

His nose is his meal ticket.

I think your nose just blew in.

Mr. Smith?

Morales? How you doing?

Well, I'm not too happy about being in L .A.

Nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, too much ozone.

You have a lethal pollutant standard index.

Not to mention that kid's diaper needs changing.

Yeah, well, I'll give Lucy to the sitter, and we can head out to my

ranch.

You're wearing a bit too much obsession.

But that's okay. It's helping disguise the scent of fear.

Boy, look at all this stuff.

Champagne from CAA.

Beluga caviar from ICM.

Even a cellular phone from the William Morris Agency.

And a new car from Ben Flicker.

It's all manipulation, Rox.

Cheap attempts to buy friendship curry my favor. I am not enjoying myself, Rox.

What do I want, fame?

It just complicates life. It compromises simplicity.

Money, the effort to get rich, can steal your time.

I hate to admit it, but your traveling the world really has changed you.

You're not the man you used to be.

Globetrotting was nothing compared to this magical mystery tour that I'm on

Ben Flicker at Worldwide Studios.

I am dealing with strange people. Enigmas wrapped in mysteries. I don't

know who to trust. Trust yourself.

What do you mean? The new president and creative director of Curtin Longform

Feature Developments? What does that even mean? You have a very powerful

position. Don't be afraid to take control.

You're right.

I'm going to speak with Flicker.

Things have to change.

Before you leave... Later, Rox. I want to share something.

Can it wait?

Arnie, no.

I'm pregnant.

Rox, that's, uh... Right?

Terrific? Yeah.

If you say so.

Look, I have to run.

Arnie, you can't. I thought the car in your space belonged to the CPA across

hall. I had it towed.

And I guess that makes us even.

Boy, the warm congratulations.

I mean, you just have to question a system that would even entertain the

possibility of letting a brutal killer like this go free after only eight

What's happening here?

What the hell is he doing?

He's flexing his civil rights.

Protecting criminals' rights over those of his victims?

Hulse can't do this, Tommy, for God's sakes. He's right outside the jury room.

Why should David Orcutt get a second chance? Our daughter sure as hell won't

a second chance.

And to let David Orcott go free is to let him get away with murder. You all

that. My client can no longer possibly get a fair hearing. Mr. Holtz made an

inflammatory statement. Mr. Holtz has a right to free speech.

Move for mistrial. Hot. Denied. Mr.

Holtz has maligned my client in the press daily. He seems intent on creating

atmosphere for a lynch mob.

At the very least, I request a gag be imposed. This is ridiculous.

He's a non -party.

He's right, Mr. Laporte. I have no authority to impose a gag.

The jury has been admonished to avoid press coverage of the trial. Your Honor,

may I say something? No, you may listen. I can't prevent you from speaking to

reporters, but I can damn well keep you from doing so inside this courthouse.

You yourself said I had a First Amendment right. Which is outweighed by

Orcutt's right to a fair trial.

If you want to be heard, you do it off county property.

Because if you pull a stunt like this again, you can expect to spend the night

in jail.

When I purchased the ranch, the only scent in the air was the desert pear

blossoms. When did you first learn a swine -finishing facility had opened a

mile away?

The Saturday before Thanksgiving.

I'd stayed away while renovations were being made, but when the work was

completed, I drove up with a lady friend for the weekend.

How was the visit?

At first, fine. It was a lovely, crisp, sunny day.

We were enjoying the morning on the back porch when the wind suddenly shifted

and we were engulfed in an unspeakable stench.

Can you describe the effects the odor had on you and your guest?

It burned our throats, and it made our eyes red and watery.

My friend lost her breakfast.

As the day wore on, the stink got worse. By 2 o 'clock, we were on our way home.

And are you certain Maggie Farms is the source of the stench?

Absolutely. The air used to be pristine. Now it's unbreathable.

That hog finishing plant has turned my ranch into an uninhabitable wasteland.

They ought to do something about the smell or move.

No more questions, Your Honor.

Mr. Graney, are you aware that the Piedmont landfill is only four miles

your property?

Yes. Well, isn't it possible that the landfill is responsible for the odor?

In my opinion, no.

Yes. Well, tell me, Mr. Graney, how many others have joined you in your

complaint against my client?

It's an isolated area. I'm the only resident affected.

In other words, none.

Now, your ranch was never intended as a primary residence, now, was it?

No, I plan to use it on weekends.

And to the best of your knowledge, has Maggie Farms Incorporated violated any

codes or permit regulations?

No. And still, you want to close down a new lawfully operated business that

employs 43 people so that you can weekend with your lady friends in the

Nothing further.

How are you feeling?

Depressed.

Maybe if you came a little closer... Douglas.

Breathe deep.

Did I leave the oven on?

Sheila, sniff me.

Here. What is with you?

It's an experiment. What can it hurt? Just, come on, smell me, please.

Now, what are you feeling?

Threatened.

Sweetheart.

Maybe you ought to sleep in the guest room.

Wait till I get my hands on those two little rodents. This crap doesn't work.

Fine. I'll sleep in the guest room.

Darling.

Mr. Orcott, would you please tell the court what you recollect about the night

your wife died?

Uh, it was a nightmare.

It was like I was standing there watching someone else attacking my wife,

someone evil.

Are you saying that you didn't commit the murder?

I'm not making an excuse.

I killed my wife, but in a sense, it wasn't me.

I loved my wife very much.

The time we shared together before it got thick was wonderful.

Do you feel remorse for what you've done?

Remorse doesn't even begin.

There is no word to describe my regret.

You can't imagine what it is for me, living, knowing what I did.

Now, doctors have testified that your behavior was atypical of most

schizophrenics, that the circumstances which brought it on were unique.

Your Honor, can we skip the speeches?

Ask your question, Counselor.

David, what assures us that you'll continue to take your medication if

If I don't, I risk another attack, and I won't let that happen.

Not again.

Thank you.

Mr. Orcutt, hospital records show on July 12, 1990, you abused hospital

privileges and snuck out to a bar. Is this true?

I was only gone a half an hour. One of the other patients was antagonizing me.

felt I had to get away.

Haven't doctors warned you that alcohol makes you vulnerable to schizophrenic

episodes? Yes. And didn't you kill your wife while under the influence of

alcohol? Yes. But you went ahead anyway and ordered up a shot of tequila. I

didn't drink it. Not that time.

But if you get released and someone else gets on your case, what will you do

then? Run off to a bar and get hammered?

Objection, argumentative.

Sustained.

Mr. Orcutt, in a letter to the court, you wrote that you'd come to terms with

your crime, correct?

I understand why it happened. I was psychotic. You're trying to tell me

come to terms with this? Objection! The condition of Mr. Orcutt's body is

irrelevant. It reflects the extent of Mr.

Orcutt's terrain. It's inflammatory and highly prejudiced. Mr. Mullaney, put

that away.

Patricia, I'm so sorry.

I know I can't expect you to forgive me, but please try to understand.

I didn't know what I was doing. I would trade my life for Sandra's if I could.

Whatever I do will never be enough. Objection! Move to the strike. Mr.

sit down.

Son of a bitch.

I loved her!

I love you so much.

I've

been

going over these projections for Lambert J. Lab. Don't bother.

Tweedledum and Tweedledummer are wasting our time.

Thank God they're billable hours.

What changed your opinion?

The facts.

One, they don't look you in the eye. Two, they have no proven track record.

three, last night I took home the extracts and experimented on my ex

Douglas, how could you?

It was in the interest of research, Anne. You and I both know Sheila has a

libido that would put Secretariat to shame.

I didn't know.

Well, you do now.

In any event, if this formula fails to get my ex -wife in the saddle, then

believe me, it doesn't work.

Douglas, you used the male pheromone, the one that attracts men.

Are you aware that this lasts for 24 hours?

I haven't read the data.

Well, here are my comments on the financial projections. You were right

one thing. This formula could be a goldmine.

Anne, what are we going to do?

We? These two are bound to notice the missing formula. I'm sure you'll think

something. Douglas.

Jonathan.

What are you doing back?

I work here. You weren't due for another week.

Well, that didn't take into account schistosomiasis. Where's that?

It's an intestinal virus, Douglas.

I've been driving the porcelain bus 6 ,000 miles.

Welcome home. Glad to be back.

Douglas.

I missed you.

Pretend this never happened.

Jonathan.

Hey, we weren't expecting you back so soon.

I need to hit the bathroom.

What's that all about?

Seems Mr. Rollins picked up some virulent strain of Sudan shuffle.

What is it, Leland?

I just never realized.

I'm brown in your eyes, sir.

I'm spending the rest of the day locked in my office.

You want some ice cream?

I don't usually eat sweets in the afternoon.

Sugar high, sugar low is less calories.

This isn't a life choice.

Ice cream would be nice.

Stuart.

Is something wrong?

Why? Does it seem like something's wrong?

No. No, it's just that ever since you made the turn on your recovery, you

well... Unhappy?

Uh -huh. Yeah.

Even though I feel better, I've felt better.

Not sure what you mean exactly.

I'm thinking more.

Not so much introspective, just unwilling to take things for granted,

about the way things work, you know?

Like, why is electricity always there?

Or gravity. How come we don't just go spinning off the planet?

That sound crazy?

Uh -uh.

Good.

Excellent.

Instant chocolate sundae.

Ann would kill me if I had a Hershey squirt at home. Ann would kill you if

saw you doing it here, too.

That's part of what I mean.

This is me. This is who I am.

And I've got to learn a way to work this into my day -to -day life. It takes a

special person to go through a bad situation and come out better on the

side. You're like that.

Resilient, determined, focused.

Pregnant.

For real?

I didn't even know you were trying.

That's great.

I'm really happy for you. Thanks.

Aren't you going to ask who the father is?

It doesn't matter.

I know who the mother is.

And so God taught Moses the laws for living together in peace.

These laws were printed on two stone tablets Moses brought down from the

mountain. And they're called what?

Honey.

Well, they're called the Ten Commandments. Right.

There's only one God. Do not bow down to idols. Less Nintendo, more homework.

Do not swear falsely by the name of God. Keep the Sabbath holy.

Honor your father and mother. Always kiss them goodnight. Do not murder or

up on your brothers and sisters. Do not take another man's wife or another man's

husband.

On to the next. Do not steal. Do not lie. And finally, do not want what does

not... Ten simple rules. Sounds easy.

But as you get older, it's not always a breeze.

God knows you're human. People make mistakes.

But remember, it's in the trying. Now, run down the hall to the screening room

for refreshments and Eisner's Aladdin.

Don't forget to sign your vouchers.

A cartoon grossing a hundred million.

We could use a hit like that.

Sidney says you talk to these kids every week. Parents work on a lot. Very busy

these days. This is my way of helping. Always have time for children.

Ben, we need to talk.

Me first.

As God is watching, he knows I haven't been honest.

Ninth Commandment? And a few more.

I want you to meet Shuler.

I'll be glad to finally look the man in the eye.

He may not be so polite.

By the way, you ice skate.

Mr. Smith.

Due to your acute nasal sensitivity, have you worked before as an odor

Dozens of times. I've been a hired nose for GM, Monsanto, Kleenex, the list goes

on. Your Honor, I ask that Mr. Smith be accepted as an odor expert.

Objection. There's no set standard by which an odor can be measured. Mr.

Smith's opinions are entirely subjective.

Overruled. The court accepts Mr. Smith as qualified.

Thank you, Your Honor.

You've examined the air at my client's ranch, is that correct?

Yes. Any evidence of pig stench? Definitely.

At what level?

30 decibels.

The scale is a variation of the decibel scale.

Zero decibels means that the odor is undetectable to the average nose.

Ten decibels... Your Honor, I object. The decibel scale is meaningless to the

lay nose. Your Honor, with permission, I can put this in terms the lay nose can

understand. I'm holding my breath in anticipation.

Contained in these balloons are air samples.

The white balloon taken from the roof of Mr. Graney's ranch home, the black from

the driveway of Maggie Farm.

Objection prejudicial. How do you figure?

Plaintiff is represented by white, respondent by black, planning a

message. Give it a rest, Counselor.

Your Honor, would you please take the white balloon and put your nose near the

opening, undoing the clamp.

Now compare that smell with the sample taken from Maggie Farms.

I love my job.

I won't take the witness stand.

Mrs. Holtz, we need your testimony.

Why? A doctor's already sworn he believes David is dangerous. The jury

conflicting experts.

You can tip the scale.

Honey, look, you're just going to have to do this.

I don't care anymore.

This bastard kills our daughter and you don't care? For years I have hated him.

And now I see he's as torn apart as we are. Come on, you believed what this guy

said. I know David.

And I remember the boy our daughter fell in love with. He was thoughtful and he

was funny and gentle.

And he turned into a monster.

But the man I saw today...

That's a tormented version of the boy I once knew, and I just can't hate him

anymore. Patricia, so help me God.

If you don't testify, I'll never forgive you. Raymond, listen to yourself.

You're so full of vengeance, it's making you sick. We can't spend the rest of

our lives hating David.

At some point, we have to let go.

Mrs. Holtz, please.

I know it's rough dredging up horrible memories, but if not for Sandra... You

don't know my pain.

I refuse to be part of a vendetta.

Mr. Schuller's meeting us?

He's already here.

But before we talk, we skate counterclockwise.

Why? That's just the way it is.

That's Sonia Henney.

I had this rink built to her own demanding specifications.

I never did this as a kid.

1936 Olympics, Garmisch, Germany.

A little more practice, Hitler would have plot.

Wait, wait, wait.

Are you okay?

Easy. Easy.

Easy. Perception, remember?

Ben, look, we're spinning in circles. Not at all.

Listen.

Listen. I'm about to explain all this kookiness.

Worldwide Studios is a publicly held company. At the upcoming annual meeting,

the subject of Shuler's divorce will be the hot topic.

Trust me. Where is Shuler? I was worried the whole McGill over his divorce would

bring the price of Worldwide crashing down.

Now I realize a man must not give his life for his business.

That's why I brought you to him. Who?

Shuler. What? The Iceman Cometh.

Where?

Right under your nose.

This I'm headed for jail?

How much can we expect David Orcutt to pay for a crime for which he was not

legally responsible?

Schizophrenia is a devastating illness, not maladjusted behavior.

And that is why a jury found him not guilty by reason of insanity and

him to a mental hospital. Not as punishment, but to be treated. The

works closest with David.

says he poses no threat to society if he maintains his medication.

Now, by law, a hospital cannot detain a patient who is neither dangerous nor

insane. My client is neither dangerous nor insane.

Under the law, David Orcutt must be released.

David Orcott's doctor says he should be released.

I found a doctor who disagrees. One point they both agree on is this. If

Orcott fails to take his medication, he could, in fact, become psychotic. We

just don't know. But the last time that man became psychotic, he took this

hammer and he brought it down with full force onto his wife's head. Not once.

but 15 times.

When finished, Sandra Orcutt's skull and face were in pieces. Her blood and

brain covered the floor.

Can David Orcutt be trusted to take his medication?

Is he still dangerous? How can anyone capable of such a hideous crime not be

dangerous?

You violated our trust.

I deserve a second chance.

I don't want to be curt, but give me that vial. Jay, maybe we should try

at this with a new heart.

It's the pheromone talking time. Please. I made a mistake.

Curiosity got the better of this cat.

Stop making excuses.

I'm simply trying to protect Miss Kelsey.

You see, she's been having problems with her husband. This is the lowest you

have ever sunk. How dare you?

Gentlemen, perhaps it would be in your best interest if you were represented by

another firm. And you can take that to the bank because we're taking him to the

cleaners. We're suing for... What are we suing for?

Embezzlement, breach of fiduciary duties, ethics charges.

Quit being so damn helpful. Thank you.

You're fired.

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

If there's anything else we can do here at McKenzie Brackman... You've done too

much already.

Dennis Smith, this is Douglas Brackman, our managing partner.

Dennis was an expert witness on the granny case. Well, isn't that nice?

Tom, Jay, are you sure there isn't something? Oh, no. Leave us alone.

Doug, so, uh, what's your sign? Excuse me?

An Adonis like you doesn't need an excuse.

Douglas! Go!

Go!

Are you hurt? Of course not. I'm all man.

You're a son of a bitch.

My nose. You probably put me out of business. Get some ice on it. I'm going

sue you.

One more today, it'll be a hat trick. I'll see you in court.

I look forward to it.

We the members of the jury.

find David Orcutt restored to sanity and no longer a danger to society.

No! I hereby order David Orcutt released from commitment.

Send the scum back where he belongs!

Bayliss, clear this courtroom immediately.

You're a dead man!

Wait till things quiet down a bit, then we'll get you out of here.

And after that? Well, we'll see.

I said, Bayliss, clear this courtroom immediately!

Sir, the D .A. has agreed to the admissibility of both Osgood and Pice's

colleges. Good for you. How did you manage that? I just called in a few

to the Attorney General's office.

I owe you, Melina.

The question now is, would this be enough to free Osgood? Not likely, even

were to pass. But at least it's a first step. Now I need to track down the

witness I should have questioned 34 years ago. Need any help? Oh, you bet.

Daniel? Yeah?

Did you notice since we started dating, no weird gifts, no midnight hang -ups on

the phone?

You're too smart, Gwen.

You're right.

It was me all along.

Maybe during the weekend.

I don't know. You got any ideas?

My parents will watch Lucy.

How about we go up to Big Sur for two days, ride horses, build a fire?

We're out of here.

Ann, we've got to go over these tax credits.

Not here, Stuart.

Lately, this place is making no sense to me.

Well, let's get out of here.

I've already made reservations at Ventana Inn and Beach Surf. You did?

Great. You know, I've always dreamed of living up there.

Well, maybe this could be a start.

When you hit that man, it was very exciting, Douglas.

But you know what really turned me on?

Being separated from you last night.

Even listening to your snoring through the wall made me vibrate.

You mean you're only turned on when we're apart?

I'll see when I get there. Get where?

God's most beautiful meeting of land and sea.

Big Sur.

Adjoining room.

I can live with that.

Excuse me.

Got a package for Gwen Taylor?

There's no receptionist out there. That's fine.

Weekend's finally here, huh? Any plans?

No, just fitting around the house.

All right.

Thank you.

Hope I can make it.

Where are they taking me?

Legally, the police aren't obligated to give you a text of custody.

The judge agreed there's a real danger, so for now, it's back to the hospital.

That's freedom?

Look,

I'll stop by tomorrow. We'll figure out something.

Are you okay?

Justice. American style.

News said that he was beaten pretty badly.

That's being polite.

I'm sorry.

You know, I am feeling so lousy, I am really going to punish myself and quit

altogether.

Are you blaming yourself?

Oh, come on. I can rabble -rouse with the best of them. Tom. No, no, Rox.

It's true. I mean, there I was, cheerleading right along with Holtz, me

it up inside the courtroom while he was working the crowd outside.

You were doing your job.

Well, that's kind of funny, too.

The old Tommy, I wouldn't have given it a second thought, but all that kept

running through my head now was, what if 15 years down the line, And this

chucklehead, Orcott, moved in next door to my family. And this was my daughter.

So you want to go?

I just want safe.

I just want healthy.
