My friend, I can't tell you
how good it is to see you.

I got to be honest with you,
I thought you were dead.

-Never felt better in my life.
-Oh, come on. That's a lie.

Look at you. How's Sylvie?

-Sylvie is dead.
-Fantastic.

And the kids?

Denny, the last time we spoke,

you mentioned that despite
astronomical odds,

you managed to become
yet an even better lawyer.

Hard to believe, isn't it?

I have a motion which, obviously,
I'm quite capable of arguing myself,

being more talented than you.

-No, you're not.
-I also happen to be the client.

The case is also extremely unconventional.

I want to be frozen.

-What do you mean?
-I mean,

I want to be frozen
and stored in a cryonic institute.

-What do you mean?
-I'm 78 years old.

It won't be long before...

my body starts to wither.

I've lived a full life.

The technology will soon exist
that I will be able to double that life.

I want to be frozen and stored

until such time that technology
becomes a reality.

-What do you mean?
-I mean when I leave this world

I don't want it to be forever.

Which means, for now...

I want to be frozen.

What do you mean?

So basically,
he wants to be euthanized.

And preserved on ice.

Evidently, there's some right
to privacy law I've never heard of.

Why should you? It's in the constitution.

What's Milton Bombay doing here?

He wants to be frozen
and stored in a cryonics facility.

All in favor...

And he wants Denny to argue it.

And what could possibly occasion him
to want that?

The problem is the basis of the case,
if there is one,

would lie in the Bill of Rights,
which Denny, of course

feels never should have been passed.

We're one Supreme Court appointment away
from overturning it.

-The Bill of Rights.
Damn right.

Red states rule.

Paul, there seems to be some
psychological deficit in play here.

I refer to Milton's, not yours.

Any person who wants
to be frozen should perhaps

be referred to a therapist, not a lawyer.

Hey, pretty boy.

I hear you're looking
for some interesting cases.

Chelina Hall. We haven't officially met.

Yes, I've peeked at you
in the girls' room unofficially.

Cute.

Come with me?

Stuart Milch, Alan Shore.

A pleasure, sir. Thanks again
for agreeing to see me.

Not at all, especially since
I've made no such agreement.

Show him the gizmo, Stuart.

Tell him what it is, Stuart.

It's called a news blocker.
Sold off the internet.

You attach it to the coaxial input
on your television

and it basically blocks
news transmissions.

It's true.

My high school principal
attached these devices

to all the televisions in the building.

The problem is, it turns out
it only blocks one network

the most fair and balanced one.

All the others, kids can watch.

It singles out one network only.

Yes, because this network supposedly
pushes a conservative agenda

which is a lot of hooey.

This is blatant censorship.

It furthers evidence of a liberal media
and I, for one, am sick of it.

In all my years...

In all his years.

Milton, I consider you a friend.

Actually, I don't.
I find you a bit boorish.

But I have always enjoyed
your unfettered candor

and in the spirit of that candor,
the case cannot be won.

Given that this is the only lifetime
you'll ever get to have,

please don't waste
what's left of it in the vast

cavernous sinkhole known
as our system of jurisprudence.

I made my life in that system.

-I rose to the very top of this system--
-No, you didn't.

Milton, no judge is going to
let you be euthanized

and stashed in a sub-zero.

We cannot know
that unless we try, Shirley.

I know you recently retired. Is this--

And please, do not proffer
psychological counsel.

I came in here in search of legal
and intellectual acuity.

And you sought out Denny?

I assure you, this is something
I considered with all due gravity.

I came to a decision,

and now I appeal to you as my attorney

to help me execute that decision.

Do I make myself clear?

Perfectly.

We're talking about your execution.

-Frozen?
That's why he's here?

If there's any legal research on point,

which I doubt there is,
the sooner, the better.

By way of analogy,

you might want to look at assisted
suicide or right to die.

Brad, you take the math and science

because you're male
and therefore more innately qualified.

Anything and everything you can find
on cryonics technology.

Wait, this firm is actually going to help
Milton Bombay be put on ice?

Oh, come now, Lori,

you of all people should know it's not
so bad to go through life as a popsicle.

-What is that supposed to mean?
-Nothing.

My, everybody's so sensitive.

Can't we all just get along?

We go to court this morning,
so as fast as you can.

First of all, students have
no vested rights whatsoever

to watch any news during school.

But they are allowed to do so
at Winslow High

except for one network.

Ms. Tyler, is this particular broadcast

being singled out on content?

Even if it is, Your Honor,

schools have the right
to legislate content

just as we can search students' lockers.

Objection to the spin, judge.
This is a no-spin zone.

A school principal is not subject

to grounds of reasonableness

-when it comes to policy.
This is the First Amendment in play here.

What's next, burning a few books?

Ms. Tyler, I must say,

this has a bad stink to it.

How do you ban one network news program
and not the others?

The principal felt
this particular network was detrimental.

Well, I want to hear
from the principal in this witness chair,

or I'm going to grant
the petitioner's motion right now.

Fine. I can get him here this afternoon.

We'll adjourn for lunch.
Be back at... 4:00.

There they are!

Mr. Bombay, why are you doing this?

It's simply about

wanting to continue my legacy
for centuries to come.

I'm perhaps the greatest
lawyer of all time,

-and I want that time to continue...
No, he's not. I'm better. Denny Crane.

-...into the future.
How are you, sweetie?

Still the king. Denny Crane.

Mr. Bombay, you are asking
for a court order to end your life.

Under today's science.

Tomorrow might be quite different.

But sir, let's be realistic.

Why the hell do I have to be realistic?
It's my body.

What do I have to do, get pregnant?

Well, you may be
couching this in pro-life terms,

but in today's scientific world,
being frozen makes you dead.

I am asking for the chance
to be alive in tomorrow's world.

To play with my great-great-
great-great-grandchildren.

Do you have grandchildren today?

I've got six, all grown.

Three of them love me.

Suppose one of them
came into the court at,

say, the age of 30, asking to be frozen.

I'd say wait. You've got a lot of years.

Well, but maybe they, too, would like
it done before their body starts

to go south, which, at 30, it can.

Look, I don't advocate this
for young, healthy people.

But certainly,
if you can decide for yourself

so should others, right?

I'm close to 80.

My life is almost over.

Does one have to be old
to get this autonomy?

How about somebody 35 with cancer?

If it was incurable, yes.

Parkinson's disease?

MS?

What if somebody wanted
to get frozen to avoid the draft?

Let him move to Canada.
Freeze his balls off.

Denny Crane.

Why did you do that?

You were getting picked apart in there.

-I was not. I was doing just fine.
-I had to stop the other side's momentum.

He was shooting spitballs at a battleship.

I was having a real moment in there
and you stepped on it.

Boys,

we need to get back to the office
and prepare our expert.

-He stepped on my moment.
-Did not.

-Boys.
-He did step on it.

Cryonics proponents
don't refer to the patient as dead,

simply "preserved."

-Frozen?
-Yes.

But, doctor,
if a person's heart isn't beating

if there's no brain activity,
we tend to call them dead.

Under today's medical definition, yes.

But the definition of cryonics
is basically a process

using a very cold temperature
to prevent people from dying.

Where'd we get this quack?

Uh...

Doctor, let's be fair.

Has anyone ever been brought back to life
after being frozen?

No, and it's not likely to happen soon
but the technology is changing.

We're discovering more and more
about molecular nanotechnology every day

and one day, it will be a reality.

Molecular what?

One second, doctor.

Denny, I'm going to try something here

I don't have time to explain.

I just need you to go with it, okay?

I want you to count backwards
from a hundred silently.

Why?

I'll explain later. It's important.

Uh, 99, 98...

Okay, doctor, we've heard
that cryonics is in our future,

but please, give me one example,

one piece of evidence that indicates
that this could possibly work.

The wood frog.

I'm sorry. Did you say wood frog?

Uh, yes, a frog in the Canadian Arctic
that hibernates

and completely freezes in the winter.

No heartbeat, no brain activity.

It goes completely dead
by today's definition of death.

Then in the spring, it wakens.

Brain activity resumes,
heart starts beating.

It's alive again.

And you think
if it's possible for a frog...

Why not for a human?

If we can accomplish

total metabolic arrest
with no tissue damage,

we will be able to freeze people
for thousands of years

and bring them back to life.

Thank you, doctor.

Humans are warm-blooded animals
designed to stay at 98 degrees.

Those frogs are cold-blooded
with a completely

different molecular structure.

Well, admittedly, the future of cryonics

involves the development
of molecular technology.

For which there is no evidence
it can work with warm-blooded--

Yes, there is.

We have frozen rat livers,

thawed them and transplanted them
into living rats.

In Israel, they did it with frozen hearts.

In both cases, the rats lived.

Not for long but the hearts
and livers did come back to life.

With humans, we've frozen heart valves--

And you think the idea
of freezing people is ethical?

Is that consistent with--

It's evidently ethical to freeze embryos.

But again, I'm up here
to give you the science,

not engage in a moral debate.

He kicked their ass.

And the best part of it was,
he had integrity,

which is what you need in your expert.

-What did he cost us?
-Twenty-five hundred.

-The whore.
-Schmidt.

How are we doing?

The leading federal case would be Schiavo.

It's not first circuit,

but since the Supreme Court
just refused to hear the appeal,

we could argue it's controlling.

I want to read it. Can you make me a copy?

-You want to read it, Denny?
-Hell no.

Can I talk to you in private
for a second, please?

I, I didn't want to embarrass you
in front of your superiors,

but it seems to me the controlling case
on this would be Cruzan.

The whole thrust of Rehnquist's
opinion was autonomy,

the patient's right to decide.

The opinion was muddled.
It was essentially three-pronged.

Autonomy, the patient's best interests
and the state's interest to preserve life.

You'd win on prong one,

but you'd likely lose
on prongs two and three.

You're much better off arguing Schiavo.

-Mr. Bombay.
-Yes?

-Are you all right?
-Oh, yes. Uh...

It's just that you brought me back
to a memory of...

I think I was happiest as a lawyer

when I was a young associate.

I hated doing all the grunt work,

but there was all the promise of tomorrow.

Would you have dinner
with me tonight, Tara?

Milton.

Why don't you have it with me?

Why this one particular network?

Look, I know that all the networks pander,

some to the liberal,
some to the conservative

but when a news organization

goes as far as to actually
promote a political agenda--

Can I dial you back a second?

How do they do that?

Well, first,
the broadcasts speak for themselves.

Their CEO used to be
the chief media operative

for former Republican presidents.

I object to his open mind, Judge.

-Move to strike.
-Sustained.

And then,
when I saw the documentary Outfoxed,

-it blew my mind.
-Because?

Because it detailed the extent to which

the media can go to promote
conservative Republican causes.

Your Honor,
we'd like to show you a brief series

of clips from this documentary.

We weren't necessarily,
as it was told to us,

a news-gathering organization so much

as we were a proponent of a point of view

They wanted
all news to be a matter of opinion.

We were ordered from the top
to carry propaganda,

carry Republican right-wing propaganda.

It was made very clear to us

that our activities were being monitored,

and if someone wasn't watching it live,
they were at least recording it

and they would review it after the fact
to see what we did.

If you watch the documentary,

and I strongly suggest that you do,

you'll see that this goes
on and on and on,

and these accounts are
from people on the inside.

Okay, but to put a device
on the television?

Well, I hate
the idea of shutting down free expression,

but this became more of a safety issue.

A safety issue?

They've got their
talk show hosts declaring that anyone

who is opposed to the war
is an enemy of the state, a traitor.

We're getting more and more fights,

kids are being attacked
for being unpatriotic,

Arab and Muslim students
are being targeted.

Maybe this little device is overkill.
I admit that.

But I've got a high school to run,

and the first order of the day
is keep the kids safe.

I thought the first order
of an academic community

was embracing diversity of opinion.

Not when it's bias
that fosters intolerance.

Did you attach any little blockers to, uh,

networks that lie about presidents
and say, the National Guard?

I don't dispute
there's a liberal bias too.

But you don't censor those networks.

Those networks don't foster intolerance.

Any blockers for shock jocks,

or is racism and misogyny not a concern?

Look, there's a lot of garbage out there.
I'll admit that.

What about your own teachers?

-My teachers?
-A recent poll showed

six out of seven college professors
voted for John Kerry.

Does that not suggest a bias
in academia, Mr. Harper?

-Objection.
-We've got

countless news programs,
too many talk shows to keep track of,

all kinds of opinions being spewed out
over the airwaves

extremes to the left, to the right

and the only thing you block--

That's actually not true.

There's all kinds of programs
we don't permit.

But this is the only news show.

Look,
what does it say that they make a device

to block out this particular news network?

It says that censorship is popular.

That doesn't make it right.

And as principal,
I have to make that call.

And let me say this, I'm a proud American.

I got a flag on my porch.

I pray for those troops every night.

I taught some of those kids.

They're over there fighting for democracy,

which includes the right for you
to question your government.

And for this network to be saying
otherwise offends me as a citizen

and as a principal.

I see.

So...

you're squashing content
to promote democracy.

Once again,

I will shut down any content
that fosters intolerance.

That is where I stand.

♪ Oh, wait a minute ♪

♪ Oh, what a season ♪

You're going to dinner with him?

I want to find out
what's really going on here.

What's going on is a runaway ego.
It's all about the spotlight.

The man wishes he were me.

-We all wish that, Denny.
-I know.

I, I go way back with Milton.
I know Milton like the back of my hand.

He knows he's going to lose that motion.

No risk of him being frozen.

In the meantime, he's all over the news.

I'm telling you, the man wants to be me.

Even so, I'm going to have
a little talk with him.

He's going to insist you
go to Nicky Blair's.

Watch.

-Sorry?
-He pays them to let him sing.

I beg your pardon?

He slips the maître d' a hundred bucks
to come over to the table

and say, "please, Mr. Bombay,
sing us a song."

It's all about the limelight with Milton.

I promise you.

What do you mean, lose?
We're on the side of the First Amendment.

The problem is, school principals
do have a wide discretion,

and the material is arguably inflammatory.

If they can classify them
as disruptive speech...

Plus, I don't know which newscast
you've been watching recently

but the First Amendment
is losing its luster lately.

Some networks are even censoring
their scripted dramas.

So what do we go with
if not freedom of expression?

Meanwhile, actor Vince Odoms,

you know him as the judge
in the Michael Jackson reenactment trial,

has abruptly quit to go play Phil Spector

in the reenactment of that trial
on a competing network.

FBS president Rick Silverman
is threatening to sue,

claiming the actor is under contract
and that it would be a material breach

to walk in the middle
of ongoing litigation.

Meanwhile, it was learned today

that the Los Angeles County
Sheriff's Office reportedly...

So, what's the point?

-The point?
-Of us having dinner.

What's the point?

If it's sexual, I'll need notice
so I can take my little pill.

You asked to have dinner with Tara.
What was the point of that?

With her, I wouldn't need a pill.

You've talked a wonderful game
about the future,

about wanting to perpetuate your legacy
into the next century.

But when you were talking to Tara,

what I observed was
a man looking backwards,

a man who, perhaps, is lonely.

You've got it wrong.

I saw melancholy, Milton,

and melancholy accompanied
by the desire to be dead.

Is this Milton Bombay looking to check out

in a way that doesn't tarnish
his grand reputation?

Denny thinks you don't want
to win this case,

which would explain your hiring him,
but you also hired me.

You lost your wife, your job...

Are you just giving up, Milton?

Let me tell you something.

As science and medicine
continue to evolve,

so must the law to keep pace!

I'm blazing the trail as a patient today

so I can continue to set the standard
as a lawyer tomorrow.

-That's what this is about.
-Okay.

Mr. Bombay, the band and some
of the patrons have requested

that you grace us with a song tonight.

Yes, tell 'em to vamp "She's Making Eyes."

-I'll be right up, Walter.
-Excellent. Thank you, sir.

I happen to believe
in reincarnation,

and I also believe things even out.

Given the hand I was dealt this time,

I could be in for some serious hardships
in the next go-around,

and I don't want that in my next life.

I want to be me all over again, Milton...

...Bombay!

Got it.

Ladies and gentlemen, a treat.

A special guest performance
from that legendary barrister,

Milton Bombay!

Thank you, thank you.
Good to be here, folks.

Here's one of my favorites.
I hope it's one of yours too.

What do you mean you're closing?

What happened to Shirley?

Milton, there's a reason
you came to me in the first place.

In your gut, you know I'm better than you.

-Go with your gut.
-I'd sooner go with my intestine.

I'd prefer Shirley doing the closing.

I'm not doing it,

and neither are you.

Well, who does that leave?

Uh, uh... Tammy?

Tara.

As I said from the start,
the law doesn't support us here.

If we're going to get a court order
allowing you to die,

which would be the result
in today's world,

that judge is going
to have to hear from you.

-He did hear from me.
-I don't think so.

If this is only about
you getting to perpetuate

your legacy in the next century,

I'm afraid you're going to have to make do
with sustaining it in this one.

You need to do better.

And Milton, for my money,

any guy who is asking
to get stuck in a freezer

isn't that desperate to live.

Every major media watchdog group
has labeled

this news program as the most biased

right-wing news program on television.

So what? Political bias is rampant

throughout the news business,
including liberal bias.

We're not talking about
just a slant, Judge.

A recent poll showed that the more
people watched this news show,

the less they know about foreign policy,

and the more inclined they are
to support the government.

Now, that may be good team spirit,

but it's disgraceful journalism.

But come on, you talk about a democracy.

What kind of principal
censors free expression?

Your Honor, if I may?

Any principal has the right,
if not the obligation,

to rail against bias wherever he sees it.

You saw that tape.

Which was also biased and self-serving.

Their most popular commentator
threatens retribution

against those who dissent.

It almost rises to the level
of hate speech,

and if, in my view, it jeopardizes
the welfare of the students,

I certainly have the authority
to shut it down.

Mr. Shore, this is a school.

Is it wise to expose students to programs

which send the message
you're Anti-American

if you question the government?

Your Honor, before we convict them
as the network of conservative values

or any values for that matter,

let's remember these are the folks
who brought you

Joe Billionaire and Who’s your Papa?

That's
the entertainment division, Mr. Shore.

-I'm talking about the news.
And I'm telling you it's all the same.

This isn't about political content.

This is a corporation
looking to make money.

They began as alternative news programming
to grab a market share.

They saw ratings and profit
in a conservative demographic,

and they've been waving the flag
ever since, and so what?

News today, all of it, is infotainment.

Last February,
a deadly toxin known as ricin

was found in the mailroom
of the Senate majority leader.

Headline news led
with Janet Jackson's exposed breast.

A month ago,
while we're in the middle of a war,

newscasts all across the country led

with Prince Harry's costume
at a keg party.

It's a business. And while some newsgroups

go with the deeper social issues
like Brad and Jennifer's breakup

the one here chooses to run
with red, white and blue.

And by the way, before you vilify them,

a survey done in 2002 revealed

that 70 percent of the people
in this country believe it is good

when news organizations take a strong,
pro-American point of view.

Seventy percent.

Does that make it right?

Of course, it makes it right.

Because the rule in infotainment
is "give the people what they want."

This is money, Your Honor, not politics.

Let me say,
I am a great lover of the news.

-I can see that.
-I watch it all.

On days like 9/11
or for other world-changing events,

the news programs
are nothing short of spectacular.

When Martin Luther king delivered
"I have a dream."

When president Kennedy was shot.

When we walked on the moon.

The Tet offensive.

Our lives are shaped by these events,
in part because of the news.

But on all other days,

they're businesses looking to compete

like anybody else,
in a highly competitive marketplace.

They sell product.

And even if you're determined to believe

that this particular network
is some evil empire looking

to spread right-wing propaganda,

that still doesn't change the fact
that we are in this room today

because a principal is shutting down
the expression of ideas

simply because he disagrees
with the content.

If anything needs a champion today,
it's the First Amendment.

In a recent poll,

half of today's high school students
thought newspapers

should get government approval
of stories before publishing them.

The First Amendment has become
an endangered species,

and here, we have a high school principal
practicing censorship.

My, my.

We do have a problem.

There is nothing in the law to support
Mr. Bombay's request

that he be assisted in his quest to die.

And that's what this is, assisted suicide.

Now, we hear a lot of talk
about personal autonomy.

But there is a sanctity to life,
Your Honor.

A state has interest in that sanctity.

If we erode that in any way,

well, we make the idea
of suicide more acceptable,

perhaps more conceivable
for the troubled teenager

or the depressed mother.

You say suicide
in some situations is an option.

But we have an overriding state interest,

and a humane one
in not sending that message.

-You--
-That was beautiful. Now sit.

At the risk of sounding immodest,

I am one of the greatest lawyers,

possibly the greatest

to grace the courtrooms
of this Commonwealth

and just the possibility
of being able to still try cases

in the 22nd century is...

Uh...

I have ALS.

In a few months,

I'll lose motor control,
control of my bowels.

My brain will begin to...

In a year or so, I'll be dead.

Legends shouldn't die like that.

I don't want to die like that.

Cryonics might not work.

But a hundred years ago,

nobody was talking about cloning
or the human genome.

And a hundred years from now,
who knows what's possible?

I truly, truly love life.

And the chance to be living again

seems preferable to eternal nothingness.

And...

...well...

what Red Sox fan wouldn't jump at
the chance to lie next to Ted Williams?

I realize, Your Honor

that no judge would do
what I'm asking for.

Do it anyway.

Why didn't you tell me you were sick?

Because I'm a tree.

When I fall, I want it to be in a forest.

What the hell does that mean?

It means I didn't want anybody to know.

I don't want to be pitied.

All I want is to be...

Denny Crane.

Mine's bigger.

You know...

I've always admired you, Milton.

I'm not dead yet.

When is the judge gonna rule?

He said by tonight.

I grew up watching Walter Cronkite.

It was a time the news seemed
to be fair, objective, trusted.

In fact, whenever we doubted the blather
coming out of the politician's mouths,

it was the press we turned to,
to get a sense of the truth.

Well, Walter Cronkite has definitely
left the building.

When it comes to credibility,
big media is dead.

Networks pander...

...some to conservatives,
others to liberals.

This past election,

you could turn to one channel
to see President Bush ahead.

Turn to another to see Kerry leading.

Ridiculous.

And I agree with Mr. Shore.

It's probably more about money
than ideology

and being about money,

well, why shouldn't networks
be free to adopt a bias

in hopes of attracting a bigger audience?

This is America.

Mr. Harper,

I realize times have changed
in the high schools as well.

Hate violence is on the rise.

Administrators have to be freer
to curtail students' civil liberties,

including disruptive speech.

But attaching a device to a television
that blocks out a certain network

because of the content
that seems to go too far...

It's censorship, sir.

And I can't let it stand.

The motion for the plaintiff is granted.

I don't know what to say, Mr. Shore.

You were incredibly brilliant.

Yes.

If there's any retribution at the school,
let us know.

Yeah, I will. Thank you both.

Your country thanks you.

My country thanks me.

This is where he gives his ruling.

Thank you.

Mr. Bombay, it seems ironic,
if not indecent,

that the state's interest
in preserving life

should mandate that you die
a wrenching and painful death

rather than be frozen
in hopes of finding a cure.

But that is the law as it stands today.

We live in a country that celebrates
individual liberties

and personal autonomy,

but when it comes to controlling
your own destiny

this is a freedom that does not yet ring.

I will pray for you...

but I cannot grant you your request.

Your motion is denied.

God bless you.

I'm sorry.

We can appeal.

Next time, I'll close.

That's all right, that's all right.

I'm, uh... heading for Arizona.

Try my luck with the courts down there.

Milton, no court anywhere
is going to rule in your favor.

Even so,
there's a cryonics facility there,

so whenever the time comes...

-Do you know anybody in Arizona?
-No, and that's the point.

I don't want to deteriorate
in front of my...

Clearly, you're not inclined
to follow my advice

but do not go off to die alone.

Hey,

you live your way, Shirley, I'll die mine.

I'm entitled to be remembered for...

Thank you both for your efforts.

Milton. Milton.

We go way back, you and I.

Let's not get carried away.

We were worthy adversaries,

occasional drinking buddies,

but it's not as if we had great affection
for one another.

Anyway...

We'll see you, Milton.

Oh. Yeah. See you.

See you, Denny.

Goodbye, my friend.

Goodbye. Goodbye. Bye.

Sorry.

Hey.

People get old, get sick.
Happens to everybody.

How close were you?

It's not that we went that deep.

It's... we went...

way back.

You can be larger than life,
just not death.

-He went off to Arizona?
-Yeah.

I really

admired him more than...

You go through life
and you never tell people

how much you care about them when...

People should probably
do that more, you know?

I care about you.

I wasn't fishing for that.

I fish for steelhead, not mush.

I care about you, Denny.

You don't have to say it back.

Wasn't planning to.

Next on Boston Legal...

I'm charged with engaging
in sexual conduct for a fee.

You paid a man to have sex with you?

We plan to perhaps use
a medical defense of...

-Nymphomania.
-It's an excuse offered up

-by sex-perv sickos.
-Yes, Brad. Thank you for that.

-How'd you like to go to Texas?
-Because?

The client is scheduled
to be executed in 72 hours.

He could be innocent.
