Hello, all alone.

Waiting for your wife?

What's your secret?

What a good night.

She looks a lot like you.

And what do I look like?

You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

Who needs a drink?

Want to dance?

I don't know how.

I'm a hell of a teacher.

Bet you are.

What's your wife going to say?

Well, you tell me.

You shouldn't have married a lawyer.

I shouldn't have married a busy one.

I'll be yours all weekend.

Great, I get to share you with your folks.

Hello. Daily Grill.

Oh, I'm so sorry. You have the wrong number.

Oh, God, I love you so much.

You better, mister.

Because I really love you.

It's so nice to see you like this again.

Anna, it's just... It's not a complaint. I'm just... I'm happy to see you happy

again. I know things haven't been easy.

For you?

For both of us.

Your mom having passed away.

You had the miscarriage. I know it's been tough.

It was my second miscarriage.

You want to try again?

Just say the word.

Hi, Mom.

Mark, how you doing, huh? And how are you? Hi.

Come on, I ain't got a good fire going over here.

It's a pretty sharp set of wheels for a junior partner, I'd say. Are you getting

good? I ain't. I got that client officer with my little bonus pants. Ah, one of

those. Not too bad. Yeah. It's his new toy. Oh, really? Do you want to take a

spin? No? No. It handles beautifully. I know. That's too fast for me. I'm built

for comfort, not for speed. Oh, come on. I'm gay.

Well, you drive then.

Anna? Oh, not me. I've been in it all day.

Stay and relax. Have a bonner. That sounds good.

You all right?

Yeah. Have a good time.

Smile is life.

Hi. Hi.

What are you doing back?

How would you like a nice glass of shampoo, huh?

Okay. Where's Mark?

Well, he's still out with the new toy. There you go.

Want some?

No, thank you.

Dennis, what are you... Dennis, I said I didn't want any. Oh, no, you just relax,

relax, relax.

We'll get that sticking all soft and silky. I think that's enough, thank you.

No, no, you just relax. Dennis, I really said I didn't want any. Dennis.

Dennis.

Dennis.

What are you doing? What? Dennis, what are you doing?

Why didn't you take him with you?

He didn't want to come. He's allowed at this place.

Well, he's not allowed to put his hands all over me.

What?

In the sauna, he put lotion all over me.

Well, he was rubbing it in. Well, it was more than rubbing it in. I asked him to

stop, and he didn't.

He pulled off my towel.

Haven't you ever noticed that when we go over to the house for dinner, if I go

out for fresh air, he always follows me? This is all because he went into the

sauna with you. The more he drinks, the worse it gets.

I'm sorry. I can see that you're upset.

You know a sense of humor. Well, it's not funny.

Dad loves women.

Sometimes what's okay for him is not okay for them.

If he's crossed the line with you, I will speak to him.

I'm really uncomfortable.

You want to go back down to the city? We'll go back down to the city right

now. Now?

Yeah, I'll just go in the kitchen. I'll make a lame excuse to Mom and we'll go.

Well, if we just stop and go, it's going to spoil everybody's weekend.

Are you okay?

I'll be okay.

Drinks up.

I thought you'd forgotten us, Danny. There you go. Here.

Huh?

Oh, you're driving her too hard, son.

I'm fine.

I'm going to help Martha in the kitchen.

Okay, sir.

Well, cheers.

Oh, my God. Drink them both.

Here's to you.

Thank you.

I'm closing up. Mark will be here any minute.

That's so.

Well, Sonny Boy told me he was not going to be... Well, he's going to be tied up

till nine tonight.

And I brought the house keys.

Mark promised to pick up the mail while we're gone. Why'd you bring them here?

You're not leaving for a week.

Well... Like I said, I'm closing up.

Oh, that's a pity. I wanted to watch another round of... Pussycat.

Go home, Dennis. You've been drinking.

Oh, you love to tease me, don't you?

With your cute little smile and your itty-bitty skirt.

Stop it. You think I'm flirting with you?

I know it.

You Southern Bells are all like a toy with men, just like

Scarlett over here. Dennis, stop it. You're being disgusting. How about a

little Southern comfort? Dennis, I'll call the police. Stop it. What are you

going to tell them? Stop it. What are you going to tell them, huh?

You did a great job in there today. Very much.

You certainly had it going. Look, I wanted to... Anna.

Good evening.

Hello. We'll talk in the morning.

Is that all right with you? Yeah.

Well, thanks again, sir. Thank you very much.

What's the matter?

You were afraid to go home alone.

Why? What are you doing here? He came to the studio.

Who?

Father, he came to my studio. He grabbed me. He said it was cat and mouse.

He did what?

He attacked me.

Dad.

My dad.

Your dad. He came to my studio. He was drunk.

I want to know just what happened.

I need to go through the exact sequence of events.

Stop sounding like a lawyer.

Just trying to understand, Anna.

Now, what was my dad doing in your studio? He's never come around to your

studio before, has he? Do you think I imagined this? I'm just trying to get

the sequence. The sequence is he attacked me. Okay.

Come sit down, please.

You have to be very careful what you say.

You just can't go around saying things about people. There's a consequence.

Don't you believe me? I don't know what happened. How can I believe you?

So what happened? What happened? He laid down on top of me and he tried to rape

me.

This is unbelievable.

Do you understand what you're saying?

Yes.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Look, Anna, my father would never do anything to hurt you, and you know that.

I think we should go home. We're going home now. I don't want to make...

Can't sleep?

Okay.

About Dad.

I'll talk to him.

If you just come back to bed.

He's my father. I'll deal with it.

Please, come back to bed.

Can you come back to bed now?

Please.

I'll have lunch tomorrow.

Right?

You know, if you're going to go skiing this weekend, thank you.

You're welcome to use the cabin.

Wish I could. I've got to work.

That sounds familiar.

Yeah.

Hey, Todd.

Mm-hmm?

The other day when you dropped off the key at Anna's studio, did you see him

okay to you?

Well, I wasn't there more at the moment. Why, is something wrong?

Yeah, she... She claims you bothered her.

Well, hey, look at the elf. I said something. Physically.

That's what she meant, physically.

Wait a minute.

Your wife said I touched her?

I'm so sorry. I should never even mention this.

No, I'm sorry that she'd say such a thing.

You know,

Marriages have lives. I mean, they grow up and they grow down, but ultimately

they come around.

But the important thing is for a man to be strong.

That's the way nature wants it.

I mean, one boss.

Women go through things, but you can't let them get out of control.

Understand?

I'll give you Dr. Purdy's number.

See what he can do, okay?

Thanks, Dad.

Well, what are fathers for?

Thank

you.

Thank you.

What was your day?

I went to see a movie.

What's that?

I went to see a doctor today.

What's wrong?

Not for me.

You know, I found him to be understanding and, well, quite

reasonable, in fact, for a shrink.

A shrink?

Yeah, and I thought if we could talk to someone... We?

You mean the doctors for us?

No,

you mean the doctors for me, don't you, Mark?

I am not the one with the problem here. I don't go around attacking people.

Do I?

When was the last time I tried to rape an old man?

What am I supposed to do? Just let you go on like this forever?

Look at you. You're crying all the time. You're depressed.

I'm just trying to do something that's going to help us both out.

Anna, this doctor has impeccable credentials.

becomes highly recommended.

Here's what I thought.

I will go with you.

We'll go through this together as a team.

So what do you say?

I am at a loss for words.

How about we can give it a try?

We haven't done this before, neither of us. It was my mother's doctor who gave

us your name.

Huh? Well, it's been a very tough year.

Anne has been through two miscarriages in a row, and then most recently, her

mom passed away.

And father?

It was just me and my mom.

Can you describe your symptoms?

Sleeplessness? Depression?

Both.

Mm-hmm.

You feel pretty bad.

Low enough to contemplate suicide.

Well, hasn't everyone?

Well, I'm going to put you on a low dose of lithium.

I thought that was for manic depression.

No, forget what you've heard.

Our aim is to stop the depression from spiraling further downward and get

you back on the road to recovery.

So all my problems are going to disappear just because I take these

little white pills. Well, isn't that amazing?

Unfortunately, my biggest problem isn't going to disappear just because I take

some medicinal M&Ms.

What's your biggest problem?

Your father, Mark.

He's still going to be here.

I say first, let's just do what the doctor suggests.

And then we've got to talk.

I need you to believe me, Mark.

Why would I lie?

Why?

If these don't work, then I stop taking them, right?

Right.

Right.

Okay. Here goes.

Good girl.

Reach for me. Up and down. Very nice. Up and

down. And plie. And back and forward.

And back and forward. And back and forward.

And back and up on your toes. And round and round.

You know, you've all been so good today. I think you should go a little early.

What do you think?

legs turned to rubber. I forget dance steps and I never forget dance steps.

Are you sleeping?

No. The pills seem to make it worse.

Finding the balance can be a delicate matter.

I'm going to put you on a medication that has proved highly successful in

alleviating depression.

So I can stop the lithium?

No, sometimes it takes more than one potion to do the trick.

Well, what if I get pregnant and I'm taking all these pills? Is that all

right? I would adjust.

the prescription immediately.

Anna.

Anna, I have to go to Dad's and pick up the mail on the way. I thought you said

you wanted a ride.

I've been a very good girl.

I've been taking all my pills.

I took the white ones and the pink ones and the green ones.

And you know what?

They make me feel all smoochy.

Hey.

Hey. The law's still all-consuming. You don't have time for a cuddle, Mr. Big

Time Lawyer.

Are you all right?

Mm-hmm.

I don't feel like putting anything on, though. I feel like taking everything

off. I'm calling Dr. Bell.

To help me get undressed?

Used to be you'd do that yourself.

Dr. Bell is not a sexy man.

All these pills, they aren't helping, Hannah.

Why, Mark, that is so sweet. You're concerned.

Here, I've been taking all these pills just to please you.

Star Castle does not soothe you.

Darn, I was going to wear it today.

What have you done here?

Just helping my lawyer hubby with his briefs. I could have pulled these out in

court, Anna.

Well, you'd have been airing your dirty laundry in public.

I have got to go to work. You can't be... Just get up there, okay?

Mark, please stay.

Mark, Mark, I'll dance for you. You always liked it when I danced. Come on,

I'll dance for you today. Please, you. This is not working.

You have to pull yourself together, all right?

I get lonely at home all day alone. Please stay. Well, I can't stay. I have

to go to work.

Hey, honey, come on. Stay home with me. I can't, babe.

I've got to go.

Mark, I want you to stay.

Peace.

Police? When was the last place you saw the key? The last time I saw the damn

key was in the drawer at my studio.

I don't know who took it. Why are you crying?

Can't you believe anything that I say?

Anna, coffee?

Mark, your father wants to speak with you.

We'll keep in touch, Mr. Forbes.

Sir. The police recovered most of the expensive items.

Oh, that's fantastic.

Where are these from?

Pawn tickets.

Pawn tickets?

With Anna's signature.

On a pawn ticket?

That's impossible.

She had the only key.

There was no sign of the break-in.

The police found these, not me.

The pawnbroker's description.

And it could be Anna.

They want to know if I'm going to press charges.

Oh, Dad, you wouldn't. You told me she was going through a rocky time, but you

didn't say it would come to this. I interrupted my vacation.

Anna's not involved in this.

No, well... Martha thought you might want something.

What?

What?

The police.

I thought they gave them out.

Pawn tickets.

Oh, well, hooray. Crime solved.

Thief caught.

You must be very pleased. These are pawn tickets with your signature on them.

You signed them.

Well, take a look. Is this your signature?

It looks like it to me.

Why would they have my signature on them? I didn't pawn anything.

Mark, I... Well, you can't think that...

You don't think that I...

Well, don't just go running out the door.

You still think I bothered her?

As a lawyer, you might look into revenge as a motive.

She's depressed.

She's not a criminal. Whichever definition you use, we've got to do

something about this.

People take journeys into the dark. It's my job to bring them back quickly and

safely. There are side effects here, Doctor.

In one minute she's fine, the next minute she's... She's not Anna.

I don't even know where she is right now.

Well, then we have to take the next step. It's what Alcoholics Anonymous

calls intervention.

She's not a drinker.

No, I'm talking about a technique whereby someone is saved from drowning.

Like what? What do you mean? We have to put Anna in a place where she has no

choice except to be helped.

What, a hospital?

That's not going to happen.

She's never going to agree to that.

No, no, no. I said where she has no choice.

Limit her options. It usually only takes two or three days.

What exactly do you mean, limit her options?

Your father wants to press charges. Fine.

Let him. Then it becomes either hospital or prison.

Blackmail? No, no, no. It's called tough love.

And believe me, it works.

She can be helped, but what you have to understand, Mark, is that she's

wandering in a desert.

She needs to find an oasis, a place of calm.

I should threaten her with jail?

She did commit burglary. Who said that? No one said that. She signed those pawn

tickets.

You can't protect her, Mark.

It is not helpful.

And that's what you want to do. Help her. Of course.

Are you sure about this, son? I don't know. The doctor says it's the best

thing. I show her the warrant just to scare her. It's jail or hospital. I

don't know.

I know a captain who opens a precinct. I'll explain the situation.

I'll take that.

It can't be easy for you.

But you're doing the right thing.

You think so?

Good run.

Do you really think that I'm a thief?

What am I supposed to believe?

I mean, you're the only key.

Mark, you're supposed to believe me.

I mean, I went to the doctor because you wanted me to. I take all those pills

because I'm supposed to do. I do everything I'm supposed to, but if you

don't believe me, what is the point?

I have a warrant for the arrest of Anna Forbes.

You do? I was told to make an arrest, sir. How can you screw up like this?

I'm trying to get my wife into treatment, not into jail.

This is supposed to be an option, a choice.

Sir, I'm not here to negotiate a family dispute.

I'm going to call your captain.

I'm going to tell him he's got a deputy down here that does not bother to check

instructions.

Anna, honey, I sent the copperware.

You got a warrant for my arrest?

We're trying to protect you. We?

You and your father by sending me to jail?

To a hospital.

I'm not crazy. I'm not going to a loony bin. Talking therapy.

Dr. Bell says you go to hospital for two or three days and then you can come

home.

Well, what if I say no?

It's called intervention, Anna.

It's the only choice I have left now.

Can I help you?

Working for Dr. Bell.

Third floor.

Take the elevator down the hall.

We're going to stay, right?

You didn't tell me it was a lockup. Well, you can go whenever you want. They

guarantee that. You can just ask them.

How do you do? Here to see Dr. Bell. This is Anna Forbes.

Have her sign there.

I just want you to sign this. I'm not signing anything.

I just, I hadn't asked a man what you're worried about.

She wants to know, she's very nervous, that if she wants to go at any time,

will she be permitted to? You sign yourself in, you sign yourself out.

Then why is the door locked?

Security. You have a lot of people trying to break in.

What about the visiting hours?

You're staying.

Yeah, but I'm going to go to work in a day. I'll come at night.

The visiting hours are on the form.

Why is this stamp right on here?

That's for people in a bad way.

You're not going to scratch your visitors' eyes out, are you?

Well, then, there's no reason for the doctor to restrict your visitors.

Same with the phone.

So you can use the phone whenever you want and come and go as you please?

Hello, Anna.

I heard you arrived.

Well, Dr. Bell, everything satisfactory?

Well, we just have to get you organized.

I think it's time your husband was home in bed.

Mark's staying with me. No, I intended to... It seems that the only thing

missing here is your signature.

Now, you do want to be helped, don't you? Because that is what we want.

It's the right thing.

You'll be better after two or three days, and then everything will be

better.

Thank you.

Call me in a few days.

Mark's staying with me.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, no, no. That's against policy.

No, Mark promised me he'd stay.

You'll be fine, Anna.

But he promised me he'd stay. It's normal. There's nothing normal about

this. It's crazy. Mark, you promised.

Mark, you lied to me. You lied to me.

Anna, I didn't know about the policy.

Look, you make sure you look after her, Dr. Bell.

Dr. Bell?

Yeah. About the medication?

Mm-hmm. You said they were going to get her off the drugs. That still applies,

right? Well, as I said, we'll talk about that in a few days.

What do you mean, a few days?

She'll be fine, Mark.

We'll be here for a few days.

Do you take drugs?

Well, that's why I'm here.

Dr. Bell gives them to me.

Hard, drugs, coke, heroin, pep, angel dust?

No. Have you ever been a prostitute?

Excuse me? If the question is on the questionnaire, it has to be asked and

answered. Have you ever been a hooker? No.

When was your last period?

It was about six weeks ago. I think I might be pregnant.

You'll have to take a test. We can do that later.

my contact.

No glass object.

Well, it's plastic. No chemical solution.

Well, I'm not going to drink it.

Okay, in there. Take off your clothes.

We have to search your clothes.

There's nothing in my clothes.

No medication, no drug, no money, no weapons, no sharp objects?

No. Good.

Then you won't mind taking them off so we can be sure.

Where's the changing room?

There is no changing room.

You get undressed here with us in the room so you can't hide anything in the

seams.

I think we should call an orderly. Wait.

for patients who need a little extra help.

Electric shock?

Yes. When am I going to my room? Not tonight.

Well, where am I going to sleep?

Use the bench.

I'm not sleeping on that bench. Why don't I have a room?

Because your chart says not till Dr. Bell says you're safe.

Safe from what?

You're on suicide watch.

I never threatened suicide.

That's what it says, and I can't change it until Dr.

Bell says so.

What are you doing?

Shh.

I'm mean.

Don't be scared.

I'm not crazy.

You're here. Are you crazy?

I need your help.

I know that sounds crazy.

People in the crazy house always say it's the other ones who are sick.

You don't have to believe me.

Make a phone call to my parents.

Tell them what's happening.

Walker, did you leave the door unlocked? Elaine is here.

Couldn't be. She's on medication. It must have worn off. I'll check her

schedule.

the door.

I'll be right there.

Why did you do that?

What did you say?

I have to go to the bathroom.

I'm not free to take you right now. Well, I'll take myself.

You can't. The doors are locked and I've got rounds to do.

But I have to go to the bathroom.

Are you getting violent?

No, I'm not getting violent.

I want to talk to Dr. Bell.

He went home.

Me, it's your news you're not the only patient in the hospital.

But I have to go to the bathroom.

Don't you understand?

You're going to have to wait till someone is available to take you. Now

sit down.

Or I call that violent.

Not violent.

and shine.

Oopsy-daisy.

Here, gotta take some blood.

Don't touch me.

Oh, it's not as bad as all that.

Here we go.

You're not doing anything until you tell me why.

Well, because it's my job. And we're trying to help you.

What's going on here?

Where have you been?

I do have other patients now. Just do as the nurse tells you. Roll up your

sleeve.

Why? Because I'm afraid you told the nurses last night that you took drugs.

Only the ones you gave me?

We have to do some tests. It's no big deal.

Why am I sleeping in there instead of a room? Because you're not ready.

I'm on suicide watch.

That's correct.

Why? When I first interviewed you, I asked you if you had contemplated

suicide, and your answer was affirmative.

You asked me if I was thinking about it, not if I was going to do it. I'll be the

judge of that.

They wouldn't let me use the telephone last night.

It's not in your best interests.

And who decides that? I do.

How long do I have to stay here?

You can stay here as long as it takes for you to get better.

You told Mark two or three days.

Well, let's hope it only takes that long.

Well, when do I see Mark?

I want you to take these.

You promised me and Mark no more drugs.

No, these are medications.

Look, Anna, I'm your doctor. I know what's best for you. I have your well

-being at heart.

I think I might be pregnant.

We'll take a test. When?

A little later. Now, take these pills.

I didn't come here for this. I came here for help.

We can't help you unless you cooperate.

Where are you going? I need to talk to you.

All right, everybody, show's over.

Breakfast time.

You too, Hermione.

I'm not hungry.

If you need any help, you ask for me, Susan, okay?

You're not going to eat a meat-drinking Jew.

We don't want you to die.

The insurance company just faxed the coverage for Mrs. Forbes.

She's good for 30 days.

That's very good.

Can you take care of this?

Sure. Thank you.

Dr. Bell. Good morning.

Dr. Bell, I've been waiting to see you.

I want some kind of explanation. I came here to see my wife and they tell me I

have to speak to you.

I have a very busy schedule. I realized that your wife is having a difficult

time. What do you mean? She should be fine. What happened?

Well, sometimes it requires a period of adjustment to settle in. I would say

that she needs at least another 48 hours of calm.

Well, I want to see him. Yes, that's what you want.

But what she needs is something quite different.

Now, you promised me that... No, Mark, you promised.

To help her, to be kind, to be loving.

Give her what she requires.

Now, be patient. That's all we ask.

Need an extra pair of hands?

No. No, thanks, man.

How's Anna really doing?

I don't know. I don't think too good.

They won't let me see her.

Well, why don't you assist?

I mean, you're a lawyer, aren't you?

I might want to ask you something.

Remember when I was a kid and you were taking all those pills?

What was all that about?

Well, I, um... I went through something like Anna, you know?

The doctor said it was depression. I don't know.

I needed your father's support.

But he thought... I mean, your father, he just... He has a problem

understanding.

Mark, don't do that to Anna.

You be there for her.

She'll come through this.

Just a promise?

Yeah. Listen.

You've got to fight for her, Mark, you know? I know that you really love her.

And she needs you. It means everything.

Well,

the more contact a patient has with the outside world...

the slower the progress.

I know that sounds difficult, but it's quite normal.

So a husband has no right to see his wife?

Well, she has a right too, Mark, to be left alone.

Can I get sanitary napkins?

I'm using cleaning rags.

What do the other women use?

They provide their own.

Ask your husband to bring some.

He never comes.

I want to see my client.

Your who? My client.

I'm the legal representative of Anna Forbes.

And I have a statutory right to see my client. Please open the door. Thank you.

I don't have authority.

The doctor wants to know, do you have a lawyer?

She says yes.

What's his name?

Mark Forbes.

That's her husband.

Mark Forbes is my lawyer.

The doctor wants you prepared.

Your husband has become irrational.

Where is he?

Jesse's bringing him in. You want to see him?

Mm-hmm. You have to take this first.

Now, he may be unpredictable.

We'll protect you.

Now, you just say the word.

You want to stay?

We'll take care of everything.

The doctor says, you want to see your wife? Go see her.

If she wants to see you.

Terrible mistake.

I'm going to take you home now, okay?

Can you let go of my wife?

We're going to take you home now. It's been a terrible, terrible mistake that

I've made, and I'm going to take you home right now.

It's good news. It's okay.

Come on.

They want me to stay.

I'm going to ask you all nicely, okay? I'm just going to take my wife home now,

so you can just get her my way.

You heard your wife.

She wants to stay.

I don't think she wants to stay. I think you're mistaken.

Come on, Anna. Let go of me.

What's going on?

Sir, if you dispute the wishes of a patient and if you get violent, we have

the legal right to remove you.

You don't have any legal right. What the hell are you talking about? I'm a

lawyer. I am a lawyer. I'm going to take my wife home. No, you're not taking me

home. I want to take my wife.

You can't do this.

I'm only here for a few days.

How long have you been here?

I can't remember.

They said I was lucky, too.

I got insurance for a year.

A year?

Okay.

Therapy, am I?

Oh, she doesn't feel good. Well, that's why we're here, to make her feel better.

She doesn't want to go. You stay out of this.

You're in enough trouble to produce.

Terrible. Terrible.

Operator? Operator?

I'd like to speak to my husband.

No, I don't... Anna? No!

No!

Hello?

Hello?

Burning the midnight oil?

Very impressive.

The MacNaughton case?

Not the McNaughton case.

Don't worry, I'm keeping up with my caseload.

We don't have a case pending that deals with psychiatric hospital law. That's

personal. It's a family member, distant relation.

Possibly a case of someone being held against their will.

There's a terrible stigma attached to mental illness.

Yes, sir, but I would never jeopardize this firm's reputation by handling a

case like that.

I think this is the book that you're looking for.

That should help you.

Oh, and look for a motive.

Money is always a good place to start.

Good luck.

Some people need that kind of help, honey.

Elaine was in a bad way when she came to us. Elaine?

She's doing better now.

Really.

How long do people have to stay here?

As long as they need help.

Truly?

Well, as much as their insurance company gives them.

Come on.

Finish up. This will make you feel better.

I want you to take care of yourself.

Where are you going?

Moving stations at the end of today.

You won't be here anymore?

You're doing fine.

Just fine.

I'm going to give you that pregnancy test you asked for.

It's too late.

Are you awake?

Doctors had a talk with your insurance company. They've agreed to let you stay

for a full 30 days.

Isn't that good news?

Two.

Some folks only get two weeks. Three.

You're lucky.

All right.

Three.

Dr.

Belton. It's not legal. I want to talk to my husband. Be quiet, Leanne. I want

my husband.

Don't do that.

I'm in trouble.

He's high-priced enough. He's got a phone in the car. Come on.

If anyone tries to beat us this time, I'll bring a lawsuit against you to tie

your life up in knots. You hear me?

Yeah, Dr. Bell, Mr. Forbes is here again.

Okay, fine.

Take a seat.

Problems? How about the insurance? Isn't that right? This is the insurance.

That's right. You're going to keep her here until my insurance runs out. That's

how it comes three days into the 30 days. Isn't that right?

Well, let me tell you something. Unless you release my wife to me right now, I

will call every insurance company in this state. I've got a hundred lawyers

downtown right now who would love this to go public with this case. Do you

understand me?

Look, Mr. Forbes, if you and your wife are not satisfied with this facility,

then I suggest that you leave it.

Call down.

Tell him again, Mr. Forbes, or he's me.

Relief against medical advice?

That's right.

Self-serving bastard.

Anna.

Anna.

Anna.

I got some good news.

I got the release so we can go home.

So I'll get mad.

They can't do anything.

Tell her.

Release Mrs.

Forbes. She's free to go.

You heard that, right?

Will you hurt me?

No, I'm not going to hurt you.

But you've got to trust me.

I did a terrible thing to bring you here, but... We can go. Come on, give me

your hand.

Don't let them turn out the lights.

I stopped at a convenience store and I picked up a couple of things.

I hope it's going to be okay.

Elaine. I promised Elaine we have to go back and get her. I promised.

Why don't we just get you well and then we'll worry about your friend later.

Now listen, Anna, I've got to tell you something. We can't go home.

Not yet.

Not going home?

No. The warrant hasn't been lifted.

The paperwork's not finalized.

We can't afford to take the chance.

So I've got a nice safe place.

All right.

Just to get things cleared up a bit.

I think you should come out now.

Okay, let's... Let's just get you out of the tub now.

It's freezing.

What are you doing sitting here like this?

Okay.

Come on.

Come on.

That's good. That's good. That's good.

Let's get this around you, okay?

Okay, we're going to get you in the room. Get you in the room. Oh, nice.

Nice.

What do you need?

I can't believe it.

What are you thinking?

I'm freezing to death.

Okay, now we're going to get you warm and we're going to get you right in the

bed. No, no. No what? No bed.

No what?

No bed. Okay, okay.

That's good.

No bed.

No bed. Sit right here.

Try it now. See, your hair's all wet. It's cold.

He's not going to do it. All right, I want you to just sit here. I'm going to

go to the office. I'm going to get a couple of blankets and come right back,

all right? I've got one minute.

What are you doing under there?

You can't stay under there.

Is it alright if I crawl in?

you were just up and... I mean, I was mesmerized.

And then you told me all the plots for all those ballets, like that was one

leg, Sleeping Beauty.

I never knew about any of that until I met you.

It was the way you told them. It's the way you understand them.

It sounded so magical. You just made it so alive.

And we could just sit there in the backyard.

It was so easy just to tell each other all of our secrets.

And I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. I'm such a mess.

Hello, Dad.

Look, what about this warrant? You were supposed to kill this thing.

Well, what did I tell my insurance company?

I took their money, and now I'm not going to press charges? They're going to

want an explanation.

Well, not if I pay them back.

You? How?

I'll just do what I have to do.

I'll sell my new Jeep if I have to.

You'll do that?

Well, uh, suppose I buy it. That way it stays in the family house, then.

Do you want to take care of this warrant or not?

Well, if the police find anything to prove Anna innocent, I'll kill it, yes.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

That's not part of our deal.

Of course it's a thing.

Dad, I need this done. I need it done today. Right now.

Okay. Don't worry. Goodbye.

when I went in there.

But all those drugs made me really sick.

I need help.

Please help me.

Hi, Anna. I'm Dr. Lambert.

Mind if I join you?

Do it yourself.

Thanks.

How do you feel?

Like hell.

Eric, coming off the medication can be pretty rough.

Some improvement.

It'll take a while, but it gets easier.

Want to talk about what happened?

No. Want to talk about what didn't happen?

No.

You talk too damn much. I just want to drink my coffee in peace.

Fine.

Mind if I drink mine?

How do you feel about Mark right now?

He's scared.

I asked how you feel about him.

All right.

We'd just like to keep the gym area out of bounds, okay?

You're invited to therapy, and actually we'd like you to come to therapy, but

this area is private, all right? Okay, I understand.

I understand.

Sorry. That's okay. No, I just saw Anna.

It was a woman who was scared to death of heights and standing up here on a

ledge. Mark, what we're trying to do is, I mean, if she overcomes one fear, that

might help her overcome others.

What else is she afraid of? A lot.

Well, wouldn't you be if you'd been treated the way she was? It's very hard

for me to believe that hospitals like that can even exist, Doctor.

Mark, I was having problems before the hospital.

Of course you did. It all started with the pills.

They made you sick. That was my fault. I forced her to see this quack. There was

no real problem until then.

No, we were having trouble before that. Don't you remember?

Is that right, Mark? Were you and Anna having troubles before?

What is this?

That's a big question, isn't it?

Well, you're the doctor.

Ask Anna.

I think she's asking you.

Are you?

Yes.

to get well mark i need your help and what is that supposed to mean i have

done everything to help i brought you here do you realize that we have zero

medical insurance left i'm paying the bills here i am busting my ass i am

doing my job maybe you sir could do yours

There you are.

Now can we talk about you?

Let's not and say we did.

We're not happy with yourself today. Is that it?

Nope. Never am.

Why not?

Southern Bell's just too tired.

Anna, what would you like to say to Mark?

Nothing. Go ahead, try.

He's not here.

Well, then say it to me.

You're not Mark.

Lucky you.

Let's pretend. Come on, we're going to play a game, all right?

You say whatever comes into your head, anything you want. Go ahead.

I can't.

Anna, come on. Say anything.

I can't.

Why not?

I don't hate you.

There is someone I'd like you to meet.

Say hi to Mark.

Hung them the way I'd like to.

Oh, tell Mark how you feel.

It's a mattress.

Scared Mark the mattress will bark back? Go on, say whatever you want. Come on,

that's stupid.

What, you don't have the guts?

Go to hell.

Brilliant repartee from such a smart woman.

You know you're starting to sound like Mark?

You angry?

Yes, I'm angry, and you know why.

No, I don't. Tell me.

Because he won't listen.

Well, then get his attention.

Here, I've got just the right amount.

Use this.

Are you kidding?

No, I'm not kidding. Use it.

It's loud.

Of course it's loud. Anything goes. In this room, only in this room, and only

in the mattress, okay?

Come on, Anna!

All right, what was that for? He knows.

Tell him.

Now that's a good start.

Okay, then.

Is all your... How's Anna doing?

Well, I'm not so sure I go in for the strength stuff.

When you confess to your priest and talk to your family, you don't pay a stranger

to listen to your woes.

Anna, you're a young man with a great career ahead of you. And she's a

liability. I love her.

You can do better. Did you hear what I said?

Mark, you're going places.

And she's not going to be able to keep pace with you.

She'll only hold you back.

Now, I know you care for her.

But she's fragile.

And she's too fragile.

Are you telling me I should leave her?

I want you to think about your future, son.

You believed him!

Here we are.

I've been doing some research, and it's worked out extremely well. I think that

we can actually build a brilliant case against this hospital.

Mark, I really appreciate what you've been doing about the hospital, but

that's not why we're here today.

Well, if it wasn't for what they did, Mark, why do you think we're here?

Well, to get help, right?

Help for who?

For you.

To make you better.

And what does better mean to you?

I want to have you back.

I want you back.

Like your old self, cheerful, playful, back in the backyard drinking white

wine.

Mark, I was 23 when we married.

All I ever wanted to do was please you.

I realize that we've been through a lot of things.

Do you realize that I've grown up and that I've changed?

What are you talking about?

Anna's been through a difficult time in here, Mark.

But she has grown.

And she's progressed.

Which affects both your lives.

Which means you've got to make some changes, too.

Real changes.

Well, I'm willing to change. What kind of changes did you have in mind?

There's some issues, some things that we have to deal with. What kind of issues?

About your father.

Again? Mark, look, I know how much you respect facts, so that's how I'm going

to do it. In fact, we're going to do it your way. We're going to do it

logically. I'll do it like a lawyer.

Lawyer? All right.

Let's get on with it. All right, Counselor.

All right.

Number one.

Your father drinks.

He likes scotch.

A lot. He drinks so much that it affects his driving, doesn't it?

And he doesn't drive.

All right, all right, yes.

Number two.

Let's talk about his attitude towards women.

Anna, how can you say that?

My father treats my mom like a princess.

Well, I'm not so sure that treating a grown woman like a princess is a sign of

respect, but let's take your mother and just put her aside for a minute. Let's

talk about his general attitude towards women.

How about Joyce, the secretary?

Do you remember when she quit? She accused him repeatedly of trying to

fondle her.

No one believed her.

That's right.

No one believed her.

You remember the time your parents took us to the steak pit?

And there was that cute little blonde waitress who was waiting on us, and your

father talked about her breasts all night.

Just having fun. He reduced her to tears. I mean, she was so upset she

wouldn't wait on us anymore.

She had no sense of humor.

This last Fourth of July, we were over at their house for dinner. Do you

remember I went out for some fresh air? I was wearing that red silk blouse, and

your father followed me out, and he could tell that I was chilly, and he

insisted on rubbing my arms, and I didn't want him to. And somehow, he

ended up rubbing my breasts. I did not listen to this!

Did your father have affairs?

Jesus.

How am I supposed to be his keeper?

He found contraceptives. Once!

Once I find contraceptives in his fishing tackle box, so what? I am never

going to tell you anything, anything ever again. Do you understand me? All

right, I'm sorry. Let's keep moving forward, all right?

Through my story. Your story? What other story is there? It's all your story.

No, Mark, it's our story.

How do you think it's our story? I know that I have weaknesses and problems, and

I'm trying to face them. I'm trying to change. I'm trying to lay out the

reality here. I know what you're trying to do.

I know what you're trying to do. I know what you're trying to do, too.

You're trying to make me believe that my father, that my dad could do those

things to her.

Make me believe that my father could do those things to me.

I checked out the insurance situation.

Anna has a lot of company.

What do you do next?

Well, I'm working with a group that's managed to get a state senate hearing.

They want people to testify.

Do you feel ready, Anna?

Yes, I do.

Remember, this is just the beginning, huh?

We've got a lot of work to do together.

Thank you.

For everything.

Strange starting all over again.

Kind of feel like a kid.

Don't feel scared?

To be here?

With me?

Feel so... What?

Responsible.

It's not all your fault, Mark.

I put so much pressure on myself.

I wanted a baby so badly. I wanted to be the perfect wife.

But I never learned how to speak up for myself and I didn't know how to change.

So I'd get so angry.

And I'd blame you.

It's good to have you home. Oh, it's so good to be home.

What's that?

Oh, Mark, what did you do?

Mark. All those are from Mom.

By the way, we're invited to the house for dinner tomorrow.

I'm not going.

I think we should go.

It's just a meal. It's a peace offering.

Can't you just accept it in the spirit in which it's offered?

Mark, don't do this.

And I believe you.

I believe you. Now, isn't that enough?

No, it's not. I will not go back to living a lie. I will not be the obedient

daughter-in-law to a man who tried to rape me.

And I beg you, just for my mom's sake, just go and do this meal.

If I have to get into all of that, things just aren't going to be the same.

Things aren't the same. Things are never going to be the same.

Mark, if I have to go over there and deal with this, so do you.

And if you won't face the truth...

then I can't be a part of this marriage.

It's so good to have you back.

It's good to see you, Martha.

Looks great, huh?

I think we should eat right away.

Your father needs some food. What do I need?

Huh?

Welcome home.

You feeling a little better?

Yes, I am.

Actually, we're not staying for dinner, Mom.

Well, don't be silly. That's why you're here.

Well, yeah.

You don't look very friendly.

I don't drink with people who aren't friendly.

Dennis, we came to talk.

Oh, eat, drink, talk.

It's like old times, huh? Just talk, sir.

Well, what do you think we're doing? Sending smoke signals?

We need to talk about what happened when you came to my studio.

Why, what happened?

Are we going to eat or what?

I'll get the soup. Martha, please stay. I think it's best that you hear this.

Don't give her orders!

Why don't you go get the soup?

You learned this talky-talky at the hospital, huh? Yes.

Well, I'm not interested.

Thank you, thank you.

You are going to listen to every word that she has got to say.

Now, this is my home, Sonny.

You behave.

I used to think you were such a wonderful man.

No need for any compliments, thank you. Well, that's what I believe, too.

You were the man that I wanted to be.

You were the king.

And I still am.

And I would have fought anyone who would have dared to question this family's

honor.

Well, I did fight someone.

And I'm going to live with regret the rest of my life because I could not

accept that the man who I most respected could have done what you did to my wife.

Well, you can be pleasant.

Go home.

I'd rather eat alone and in peace.

What is all this about?

Huh?

I got a fight they'll make up, don't worry. You came to see me with

intentions. You said you wanted a little southern comfort. That's what you called

it. You grabbed me, you tried to kiss me, and you laid on top of me. Mark, he

is your father. And he's my father-in-law. And he tried to rape me.

God, do you believe this craziness from her?

I believe her.

Do you hear me? I believe my wife.

Well, then you've made your choice.

Now you can get out.

Is it true?
