-Previously on Ally McBeal...
-A brain tumor?

I wanted to tell you personally since, uh,
you know, you probably helped bring it on.

You say you hallucinate?

Well, so do you. You see Al Green.
You have your fantasies.

But I know when I'm having them.

I'm beginning to figure that out too.

-[Man] ♪ I'm just a love machine ♪
-[Grunts]

♪ And I won't work
for nobody but you ♪

I think I need to call my doctor.

Billy, um, I think
we might have to take it out.

Really?

The fact
that the hallucinations coming more

suggest that it is growing
at a more rapid pace.

-Billy?
-[Woman] Is he okay?

Billy?
Oh, God!

Billy, breathe!
You can't just--

No!
You're gonna get better--

About 40 minutes ago,

Billy Thomas passed away.

[Alarm Buzzes]

Well, obviously, you have to be
able to testify that she was insane, and--

Uh--I don't like this
word, "insane."

I-I, um--I realize that,

but if--if Nora's to escape being
convicted for first degree marriage, uh--

[Clears Throat]

murder, then it's your
testimony, as her therapist--

[Knocks]

Ally. Richard wants to start
the staff meeting.

-He needs to head out.
-Can he start it without me?

You don't want to miss this one.
He's hired somebody.

When I was a boy,
my dog got hit by a car.

M-My parents rushed right out,
got me a new puppy.

Best, uh, therapy in the world.

This is Mark Albert. Excellent litigator.
He'll be a major addition to the firm.

He starts today. Let's all
give him a warm welcome.

[Crickets Chirping]

-[Chirping Fades]
-Yeah.

Billy dies and you run out
and get a new puppy?

Uh, yeah. I-I'm putting him
on the Mills trial, so, you know,

bring him up to speed.

-Why?
-Because Billy was first chair,

and with him now, uh,
un-unavailable--

And Ling and I will do just fine.

-Uh, even so--
-Never mind "even so."

Ally, it's a murder
trial. There could be publicity.

And Ling and I are fine.

-Another hand--
-No, we don't need a new puppy!

He's on the case.

First days are always awkward.

-Richard, why did you hire him?
-It's the only way he'd work here.

Richard, you know what I mean.

Ally, we need the help.
Billy pulled the sled around here.

It's not like--
It's not like you do any work.

Mark's the best litigator
who was available and young.

Oh, please!

-He's the best one at what?
-This firm fully supports ageism.

Plus he specializes
in criminal law.

He's got a stable of high-paying,
reprehensible people.

-Is John in on this?
-John is AWOL.

He went off to New Hampshire on account of
Billy being dead or Nelle dumping him or--

I don't like the new guy.

-Hmm. You don't like him.
-No.

Do you know him?

I don't need to.
I just have a bad feeling.

-How long have you worked here?
-What does that have to do with it?

You've been here
long enough to know...

when you say something
negative about a person in this room--

[Toilet Flushes]

He's here.
Bygones.

-[Door Opens]
-How--

-[Door Closes]
-How did you--

We haven't really met.
Mark Albert.

Yes. You might
want to wash... that.

You know, growin' up,
my buddies, they used to call me Ally.

Last name, Albert.
Nickname, Ally.

Nobody will be calling you Ally here,
Mark. I'm the only Ally.

-In the world, I bet.
-[Exhales]

That was a joke.

Richard
forgot to mention that you were so funny.

Listen, I understand
how close you were to Billy,

and I'm very sorry
about your loss.

Thank you.

I'll try not to step
on your toes during the trial.

Thank you.

Well, nice to meet you.

Yes.

When I saw him,
I--I don't know what happened. I really--

God, I still
can't believe it.

[Blows Nose]

Just like that.
Can you cry like that?

Well, I--

You killed a man,
Nora. If you don't cry up there--

Do you have any crying tricks you can
teach her? What are you looking at?

See this picture?
His name was Billy.

Last week he died
of a brain tumor.

That's sad. You feel
like crying yet?

What?

This is new
to me--telling clients to cry.

-Well, she's in trouble here.
-[Exhales]

What's goin' on?

Ling was
just coaching the witness to lie.

-[Shoe Slams On Desk]
-Not lie, just embellish.

It's hard to make killers
seem sympathetic.

-Thank you.
-You people are gonna get me off, right?

-♪♪ [Disco, Faint]
-I can't be spendin' my life in jail.

You will get me off?

-♪♪ [Continues]
-Excuse me for one second.

[Door Opens, Closes]

-[No Audible Dialogue]
-♪♪ [Continues]

-Elaine?
-Oh, Ally. Here.

This cassette just came for you
from the Biscuit.

Uh, thanks.
Uh, d-do you... hear that?

-What?
-That... beat?

-A beat?
-A disco beat.

Boompa, boompa, boompa,
boompa, boompa, boompa, boompa.

-♪♪ [Volume Increases]
-You hear it?

-You hear it?
-A disco bass beat. Yes.

You hear it?

-♪♪ [Stops]
-No.

What was your relationship
with the victim, Ms. Holt?

I was his physical therapist.

He had lost a leg due to
his blood circulation problem,

and I was helping him
gain use of his prosthesis.

Uh, and
during this therapy--

Well, we fell in--
[Sighs]

physical infatuation
with one another.

Ms. Holt, calling your attention to the
evening of December 14th of last year--

-Yes. We were at his home, making love.
-And what happened?

-Well, during--in she came.
-"She" being?

-The murderer.
-Objection.

Sustained. Do you see the person
in this room, ma'am?

Oh, I certainly do--
the murderer.

Objection!

The witness
has identified the defendant.

The term "murderer"
is stricken.

Ms. Holt, what happened after the...
defendant entered the room?

She grabbed his graphite leg and
began to thump him wildly on the head.

And then?

He jumped
out of bed and attempted to flee,

which was made very difficult,
she having his leg.

He was being thrashed by
the very thing he needed for escape.

Then he pushed her off
with his right arm.

By this time he was bleeding,
hopping madly down the hall,

she giving chase, all the while
thumping him with his own prosthetic.

Then she tripped him.

He went crashing down
the stairs and that was the end of him.

Then she just
dropped the murder weapon and--

Excuse me,
the thumping device--and ran off.

He just lay there.

One leg twitching,
the other, evidence.

You said
"swinging wildly."

So, you would say that she had
a wild reaction. Would you say that?

-Well, it certainly wasn't subtle.
-Ah.

As a layperson, how would
you describe Mrs. Mills's... behavior?

I'd describe it as murderous.

-She was very upset.
-Quite.

Thank you, ma'am.

You must've been scared
yourself by all this, weren't you, ma'am?

I was terrified.
It's not every day...

you see a man you care about
bludgeoned with his own foot.

-Terrified. Shocked, even?
-Hmm. Absolutely.

Thank you.

Why did you get up and
cross the witness after I was finished?

-You noticed that, huh?
-I noticed it?

-You undermined me in front of the jury.
-No, I didn't.

Can you tell me why you stood up
to ask a little question?

Yeah, sure. I wanted to get in
that the witness was in shock a little.

Shock compromises the capacity
to observe and to comprehend.

And since she is the lead
and only prosecutorial witness,

I thought it might be nice to
show that maybe she was wrong.

-I am first chair on this case.
-I'm just taking Billy's place.

No, you are never
gonna take Billy's place!

Don't even think about
taking Billy's place!

[Clears Throat]

[Knocking]

Ally.
How's he doin'?

What do you mean, "How's
he doing?" He's dead, for God's sake.

I was talking about Mark.

Oh. I still don't know
why you hired him.

-I hired him because we need him.
-We don't need him.

We need to keep moving forward,
Ally. It's best for the firm. Okay?

I know how to run a law firm.
We can't get behind in the work.

Trust me on that, okay?

-Okay.
-[Object Clatters]

[Door Closes]

I walked into my bedroom,
my very own bedroom,

and I saw my husband
makin' love to another woman.

What went through your mind
when you saw this?

I--

I lost all ability
to distinguish right from wrong.

-[Judge] Excuse me?
-My face felt hot.

-My legs felt weak.
-So you reached for another one.

Excuse me?

Oh, yes.

I saw my husband's graphite leg
on the floor,

lyin' next to the bed,
and I picked it up.

-Why?
-don't--

Oh, I don't know.

I--
[Weeping]

[Wails, Blows Nose]

I just started swingin' on him.
I hit him with it.

Nora, did you love
your husband?

More than life.
He--

Um--

More than life.
[Sobs]

-Ms. Woo?
-I'm sorry, Your Honor.

In my culture,
infidelity is worse than death,

and to discover
that your spouse was--

I'm sorry. I know I should
be more professional. I just--

-What the hell was that?
-Excuse me?

The fake crying.
It is a murder trial.

You sound like
a game show contestant.

-Hey, hey, hey!
-Hey, hey, yourself.

I'm not gonna have
a trial of mine compromised.

Oh, no, no, no.
Hold on for one second.

-Since when did it become your trial?
-When I saw the clown act--

-You are off this case!
-I'm not off this case.

Yes, you are. You get out!

Look,
I realize you had somebody die on you.

-But that's no--
-You shut--I watched--I-I watched--

All r--All right!

All right.

I'm sorry.

[Sniffles]

But there is obviously a reason
that Richard put me on this case to

backstop you two.

We are fine. Thank you.

-♪♪ [Disco]
-Oh!

[Groans]
Quiet!

-♪♪ [Slows, Stops]
-Ally.

Are you okay?

Fine.

Nobody likes you yet.

[Exhales]

[Elevator Bell Dings]

[Chattering]

-Why are you meeting with Cindy Snell?
-Excuse me?

Cindy Snell.
Why are you meeting with her?

Oh. I'm, uh,
covering for John this week.

Cindy Snell is Ally's client,
not John's.

-She is?
-Yes.

Oh. Then, uh, do me a favor
and cancel her, would you, Elaine?

Well, I can't.
She's already in your office.

[Groans]
Oh.

Well, I'll get rid of her.

So, it was just
a big, big shock,

-your seeing your husband with this woman?
-Yes, it was.

The idea of him being unfaithful,
that was stunning?

Yes. Have you ever had a spouse
cheat on you, Mr. Kessler?

No. But now
that you bring it up,

had you ever
been cheated on before?

-Well--
-In fact,

your husband had been guilty
of infidelity with another woman...

before his affair
with Marianne Holt, hadn't he?

-Yes.
-You not only knew about that,

you also knew he was sleeping
with Ms. Holt, didn't you?

-I thought it was over.
-Oh, you thought it was over.

-♪♪ [Disco]
-But just a week prior...

to your attacking your husband
with his prosthetic leg,

you two had a public fight over
his affair with Ms. Holt.

♪♪ [Stops]

Objection! Mrs.
Mills's state of mind is not relevant.

Not relevant? You're arguing insanity.
State of mind goes to that.

Oh, whatever.

So, Mrs. Mills,
you knew your husband was unfaithful.

You also had particular
knowledge of this affair, didn't you?

That still doesn't mean it wasn't
devastating.

But you said you were shocked.

-♪♪ [Disco]
-I was! I was in a terrible situation.

Do you know what that can do to
a person?

Why didn't you just leave him?

-I don't know.
-You don't know.

-I couldn't leave him.
-Why not?

-I just... couldn't leave him.

She just
lost consciousness.

We got her.

All right.
Follow my finger, please.

I really feel o-okay.

Okay. Why don't you rest.
We'll check back in with you in a while.

-She just blacked out?
-Yes.

Just slumped right over
on the table.

-Okay. You can see her now.
-What is it?

I think she just fainted. Uh,
has she been under a lot of stress?

Her old boyfriend
died right in front of her.

Excuse me. I'm in the room. You don't
have to talk like I'm not in the room.

Are you okay, sweetie?

You look so awful
and sound bitchy.

I'm fine. I--

I just haven't been getting enough
sleep.

Maybe you have a brain tumor.

-Are they contagious?
-No.

-I'm fine. Can I leave?
-Uh, one more test and we'll release you.

We should probably get back to court then.
Dr. Lips takes the stand.

I prepared the testimony.
I should--

I can do it.

I don't want you doing it.

Could I have a sec with Ally,
please?

Sure.

-I'll wait right outside.
-Thanks.

[Woman On P.A.] Mr.
Collins, please return to Admitting.

Mr. Collins,
return to Admitting.

Look--

I-I don't know how to say this without
sounding like a complete ass, but--

-What?
-Okay.

A person you love just died.
It destroyed you.

You fear love.
You may even loathe it.

For whatever reason,
I detected some...

chemistry between us,

which I'm sure is the last thing
that you must want to feel.

Is it possible that you see me as a person
you could perhaps be interested in,

therefore you loathe me?

You're right. You're unable to say
that without sounding like a complete ass.

Ally.

You really... think
I'm interested in you?

I could be off base.
But you seem to protest a little too much.

Well,

if you really
wanna know the truth,

I do have a secret
that I would like to share with you.

Could you, um, lean in
so I can whisper?

I'm glad to see you're
getting your strength back.

I gotta get back to court.
I'm taking on that expert witness.

[Kisses]

Sex, gangs, peer pressure.
You need to find out what the deal is--

Rage can be
such a compounding force,

it can totally subordinate
all sense of reason.

Can rage ever cause a person
to lose his or her conscious control?

Well, in extreme cases, it can render
a person unable to control her actions.

In this situation,
we had a woman whose esteem...

was inextricably bound up in her love
for a man who ridiculed that love.

He not only obliterated it
with his actions,

he overtly humiliated her--
disgraced her, if you will.

And I think when she saw
his leg lying there on the floor,

in this phallic state,
she went on automatic pilot.

How do you mean,
"automatic pilot"?

It's possible she didn't
know what she was doing.

She saw the man she loved
wrapped up in the arms of another woman...

and she succumbed
to a blinding rage and snapped.

[Person Coughs]

Well,
Doctor, aren't you the expert witness.

You managed to use
all the right buzzwords:

"Rage." "Automatic pilot."
"Snapped."

Because I believe
that's what happened.

Is it your testimony
that she didn't know...

that she was hitting her husband
on top of his head with that graphite leg?

I'm sure she knew
she was doing it.

-Are you saying that rage excuses murder?
-I didn't say--

Just because you're angry,
you're able to commit a homicide?

I'm saying in certain instances,
a person can lose control. That's all.

"Lose control." Her aim
was certainly under control.

[Exhales]

I really think
you should fire him, Richard.

-Ally---It's insensitive to just
go out and bring in somebody new,

and the fact that it's him
just compounds--

Ally, I-I loved Billy
as much as you did.

You did not.

All right. I liked him.
Th-The point is he was boring.

-What?
-C-Can't we just move on? This was-was--

Wh-Why does everybody
have to move on so damn fast?

What is wrong with just
staying still and crying?

Oh.

I mean, who made up that stupid
rule anyway, that life just goes on?

John Cage stopped his life.

What do you expect us to do,
sit around and have a séance?

-I don't expect you to hire another body!
-Well, we need another body!

Billy is dead!

And we loved him,
and he is gonna be dead forever.

And you just go out and--and hire
somebody to fill up his office before we--

We're all trying
to survive this, Ally.

Maybe you can walk by
his empty office all day long. I can't.

[Sniffles]

You're not the only one
who needs to survive.

I'm sorry.
I, uh--

I-I-I do know that-that--
that you've been hurting too.

You know,
Mark's a good, uh, lawyer.

He'll, you know--He'll bring in money,
and that's--

that's the bottom line,
so--

Hmm.

-You okay?
-Fine. You okay?

-I'm fine.
-Good. So, uh--

Back to work.
Back to work. Back to work.

[Gasps]

[Cries]

-Okay. All righty.
-[Clears Throat]

-Murder two?
-That's what they're offering.

There's no point in taking it. It's a life
sentence. I'm assuming you have plans.

-Plans for what?
-A life.

If not, we can
take the deal--

I am not takin' a life
sentence.

Don't take a tone with me, Nora.
I wasn't the one who offed your husband.

And you are
a terrible crier.

[Exhales]
What's goin' on?

Evidence is all in.
Summation's tomorrow. Mark's gonna do it.

Mark is giving the summation?

His nickname's "The Closer." Did
you know that?

That may have nothing to do with
the way he practices law. Where is he?

He's in Bill--

his office.

Okay. Uh--

I'm gonna go in there
with an olive branch.

Richard wants this to work,
so... let's make it work.

-[Chattering]
-[Phone Ringing]

-[Knocking]
-[Mark, Muffled] Come in!

What the hell?

Ally. Hi. Could you
give me a sec, Stacey?

-Sure.
-Thanks.

-What---I get my teeth
cleaned three times a week.

Having the chair just saves time
and let the hygienist make house calls.

Three times a week?

It's the little things that win trials,
Ally: fresh breath, clean teeth.

What planet are you from?

Cute. Every lawyer has his way.
This just works for me.

Fresh breath and clean teeth.
It-It's how you--

Are you gonna cut me any
slack--

I came in to cut you slack, and I found
you in a dentist chair. You're a nut.

And please don't mistake this
for chemistry.

I would really love
to work out our differences,

but I have
a closing to work on.

I thought I would be allowed
some space in my own office.

No. This isn't your office,
and it doesn't become your office with

a stupid piece of tape.

Hey, thanks a lot for
makin' me feel so damn welcome.

You gotta give him a chance.

-No, I don't.
-Ally--

-I don't have to give him anything.
-Why?

Because he isn't you.

He's just a lawyer,
Ally.

Brought in
to make us forget.

Nobody's asking you
to forget anything.

You hate him. You hate God.
Anybody else?

Yeah.

You. For dying.

[Crying]
You know, I--

I can't even wear black.
You know?

Because you weren't mine.

A-And may-maybe--maybe
that's why I feel so alone.

And, you know, nobody really understands
how-how much I--a-and what I--

I know.

Ever-Everybody--
Everybody says life has to go on,

and it just feels like such a big
insult to you if--if life just goes on.

Just remember me every now and again.
That'll be enough.

[Chuckles]

Oh--O-Okay.

Anything you can do for me?

I'll make sure it never rains
when you're outside.

I don't believe you.

Billy.

I need to say
good-bye to you.

I know that too.

[Sighs]

-Why did he come here?
-Because I offered him a job.

He had his own nice,
little practice where he got the profits.

Is he getting equity here?

-Uh--
-What's goin' on?

Richard and I
are having a discussion.

-Hmm.
-[Mutters]

When I joined this firm,

you promised I would be the first
associate to be made partner.

If that doesn't happen--

Nelle, promises I make are irrelevant.
You should know that.

-Why are they irrelevant?
-Because I don't keep them.

[Scoffs] It would
behoove you to keep this one.

Before I go into court,
especially when I close,

I like to fill myself with music,
sort of a theme song.

A theme song?
You like to go in with a theme song?

-And fresh breath.
-[Sprays]

What are you gonna say
in your closing?

What can be said?
She picked up a hard object...

and repeatedly beat him until he fell
down a flight of stairs to his death.

Was she angry?
I'm sure she was.

In a rage? Could've been.

But anger doesn't excuse a homicide,
ladies and gentlemen.

We live in a society of law and order.

Law and order means you don't kill
people because they make you angry.

Law and order means...

you don't resort to violence
because you feel pangs of jealousy.

Law and order means that
when you go back to that room...

to uphold your oath,
you do exactly that.

-Hmm?

He finished his closing.
This might be a very good time for you to

get up and do yours.

Right.

I think his bulb
is a little dim.

Law and order.

Law and Order is a television show,
albeit a good one.

The nucleus, what Nora feels,
believe it or not,

was her love for her husband.

Now you heard the therapist
testify as to the power of this love.

It was also,
in Nora's mind, immortal.

That is the thing
about great loves.

We think they're immortal.

[Billy's Voice]
We think they're immortal.

They can live forever,

even if the people involved don't.

When Nora walked into that room...

and saw what she saw,

it was as if her own center
had been destroyed.

And nothing else mattered.

The psychiatrist said she was lost.

Those were her words.

And she was lost.

And she remains lost.

The love that she had
for her husband...

turned out to be false,
or at least finite, and now she feels--

[Billy's Voice] ...like she's not even
entitled to cling to it after he's gone.

And she sits there, empty.

A love that she cherished more
than life itself was taken from her.

Suddenly--gone.

-And in part--
-[Billy's Voice] ...she felt gone.

Then she snapped.

-They just offered manslaughter.
-Manslaughter? Should we take it?

Why? Manslaughter is the worst they could
come back with. It's not much of an offer.

Well, that's easy
for you to say.

I'd be the one
who serves the life sentence.

True.

I'm gonna turn the offer down,
Nora. Let's go for it.

All right. But I can't
just sit here and wait.

I need to walk.

-I better go with her.
-[Door Opens]

[Door Closes]

What do you know
about me and Billy?

Just that you
used to date him. Why?

Mmm--

Oh, just some of the things that you said
in your closing, they--they hit me--

you know, close to--

As much as I mourned
his loss, I--

I-I realize--

Well, I--

Um--

His dying left me so empty
because--

Well, I don't know.
Maybe because we had broken up,

so I don't feel entitled to
cling to the love that I had with him.

Maybe a part of me...

always thought
I would get it back.

That may be why the hole...

feels so big.

Your love with him--
It was real at one point?

Yes.

Well, then you own it.
You're entitled to cling to it.

Your last memory of him...

shouldn't be
where you left off, Ally.

Remember him
the way you want to.

You survive that way,
and so does he.

-Verdict.

[Person Coughs]

The defendant

-Mr. Foreman,
