[jazzy music]

- Our third night under the
same roof, and I must say it

feels wonderful.

This trial period
is exactly what

we need, time to
restore our commitment,

rekindle our passion.

Douglas, please no.

- That's what you
said last night.

You're blocking my light.

- I've been sleeping
in this bed for days.

We haven't made love once.

Are you sure?

Positive.

I yearn to be with you.

Douglas, I'm not interested.

Since when?

- If you must know,
since you moved back.

- [scoffs] But
this was your idea.

- It's just that--

our body chemistry
seems to be off.

When we were separated by
divorce and prison walls,

I felt amorous.

Now I just feel--

Distant?

Disgusted.

[sighs]

Oh, all right, sweetheart.

If you want to, go ahead.

You've got five minutes.

For god's sake, Sheila,

I can't perform under
time restrictions.

It humiliates me and
degrades the act.

- Five minutes,
take it or leave it.

I'll take it.

[theme music]

[upbeat music]

- Next up, Graney versus
Maggie Farms Incorporated.

- Uh, Maggie
recently constructed

a swine slaughtering and
finishing plant adjacent

to Steve Graney's property.

What's the stink?

- Exactly, our
client, Mr. Graney

is unable to enjoy
his weekend retreat

due to the unbearable
stench blowing

in the wind from next door.

I filed a nuisance suit to
shut down Maggie's Farm.

- On to new business,
Labergé Labs.

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

I will?

- Apparently, they discovered
a major breakthrough.

Two of their chemists
are flying in

from Phoenix to
discuss marketing

strategy, very hush hush.

And you'll assist with
corporate structure.

Happy to help, Douglas.

Next time, a little notice.

[beeping]

Overseas call, excuse me.

- As I was saying--

[beeping]

- Must be time
for my medication.

- Stuart, you seem to be back
on top of your game again?

- Yeah, the phenytoin is
really doing the trick.

- If we could just get back to--

[phone rings]

(WHISPERS) Sorry.

Hello?

Yeah, sure, Sydney.

It's Ben Flicker.

I'll just be a minute.

Oh.

- I will not have
Becker's entertainment law

become the tail
wagging this legal dog.

Who is he working for?

Worldwide Studios or
McKenzie-Brackman?

Bad connection from Milan.

[beeping]

That was quick.

Oh, it's not me.

Me either.

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

It's a false alarm.

[beeping]

- I still haven't figured
this thing out yet.

[beeping]

- My batteries must
be running low.

- Since my business
is show business,

look for my name in
lights, everybody.

[assorted beeping]

- Can't you people have
the decency to come

to a staff meeting unplugged?

I think we're adjourned.

[assorted beeping continues]

We just don't understand this.

You're telling us that he can
get out after only eight years.

- Mr. Holtz, this file just
landed in my lap yesterday.

I'm still looking it over.

- This nut should
have gone to the gas

chamber not some
hospital with tennis

courts and weekend privileges.

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

killers back on the street.

- David was found not guilty
by reason of insanity.

The prosecutor said he
would be sent away for life.

In theory, that's true.

The catch is the
state can't hold

your son-in-law unless he--

- David Orcott stopped
being our son-in-law the day

he murdered our daughter.

- The state cannot
hold Orcott unless he

is deemed dangerous or crazy.

- Is someone suggesting
that he's not?

- A few docs, but the senior
psychiatrist at MacArthur

Hospital disagrees.

So what happens now?

- We go to court as
planned, and we try to block

David's effort to win release.

I could use your help
in convincing the jury.

Name it.

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

Why?

- Police record says
that you discovered

your daughter's body.

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

She was alive.

Excuse me?

- When I found S--Sandra, she,

she was still trying to breathe.

She was gasping for air.

Honey.

She died in my arms.

Hey, OK.

- Like all great discoveries,
it was purely accidental.

Tom and I were at
Stanford doing research.

- Grinding up patches of
skin, isolating compounds,

just basically fooling around.

Where did you get the skin?

Oh, discarded casts.

I can't tell you
how many Sundays

we've spent digging
through dumpsters

behind orthopedist offices.

[laughter]

- Anyway, one day in
our lab, we noticed

that certain compounds
isolated from female skin

made us, well--

Horny.

[laughter]

- So we went looking for
similar compounds in male skin.

- And once we found
those, we knew

we had what we thought we had.

What exactly is it you have?

Human pheromones.

Come again?

Airborne hormones.

When inhaled by
the opposite sex,

they trigger the
urge to copulate.

- You see, it's common
knowledge that insects

and lower mammals use smells
to attract their partners.

- As humans evolved, scientists
assumed that we left that part

of the mating dance behind.

But we still have tiny
amounts in our skin.

- We've been able to
concentrate those pheromones.

- Pink for females,
blue for males.

Careful.

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

- Do you have data showing
how your formula works?

Reams.

Until our meeting tomorrow
with Donny Cosmetics,

we need a safe place
to keep our samples.

- Could we use your
bank safe deposit box?

Certainly.

Of course, we have a small
vault here at the firm.

I alone hold the combination.

Guard this with your life.

Otherwise, it'll be cold
showers for everyone.

- Tom and Jay,
couple of comedians.

If this formula actually
works and we close this deal,

this could mean a new
era for this firm.

Where are we going?

What was so urgent?

You ask too many questions.

I told you, Becker,
it's a surprise.

By the way, let me confess.

I was the one behind
that desert escapade,

stealing your Porsche.

- Ben, I really would
like my car back.

You expect miracles.

Charlton Heston, I'm not.

Things got a little
out of hand, and

well, this is all we recovered.

Oh, my baby.

I know how you feel.

Once I was going to meet Crosby.

The night was still.

I drove a Nash.

I was young.

Teach your children
well, Becker.

Remember that.

Which is why I have to ask
you, my daughter and you,

you, you didn't--

Have sex with Francie?

No, sir.

That's my boychick.

We couldn't have worked
together if you had.

Our relationship would
be too complicated.

- Could it possibly
be more complicated?

Hop in.

We're here.

Sir?

Hop out.

We could have walked.

Schleppers walk.

That's why they're
called schleppers.

Becker, from all
of us at Worldwide,

no man deserves
this more than you.

Welcome to our studio.

Ooh!

A Viper?

Come on, Becker.

Drive American.

[applause]

- I can't believe
this big turnout.

Central casting, they're extras.

For 65 bucks, they'd
applaud a murder.

Louder, damn it,
like you mean it.

Mazel tov.

[cheering]

- Dr. Scheinbaum, what
was David Orcott's

condition upon admission
to MacArthur Hospital?

- He was diagnosed as
paranoid schizophrenic.

How did you treat his illness?

- Antipsychotics, stress
management, and psychotherapy.

The results?

- For three years,
David has been

free of schizophrenic symptoms.

So long as he takes
his medication,

he's as sane as
anyone in this room.

- Doctor, do you
believe Mr. Orcott

poses a danger to society?

None whatsoever.

He's already spent a full
year in an unlocked facility

as part of a conditional
release program.

- And during that time, was
Mr. Orcott allowed to enter

the community unsupervised?

- Yes, every day, he'd
walk to the public library

and spend his afternoons
working the checkout

desk never with any problems.

- Doctor, is it
your recommendation

that David be released from
his hospital commitment?

Yes.

- Even taking into account
the events that led

to my client's hospitalization?

- David's untreated
schizophrenia

brought on delusions that his
wife was being unfaithful,

poisoning his food.

After five days of heavy
drinking and sleeplessness,

David suffered a
psychotic break.

He was overcome
with irrational fear

and rage, which led to
an overwhelming impulse

to kill Sandra.

- In your opinion,
could David ever

do something like this again?

No.

David is diligent about taking
his medication, determined

never again to lose control.

Thank you, Doctor.

Your witness.

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

Mr. Orcott opposed by
the senior psychiatrist

at MacArthur Hospital?

- That's correct, but--

- I am quoting Dr. Philip
Morton's statement.

"Mr. Orcott remains
a substantial danger

to the community."

- Dr. Morton is a
career bureaucrat

who refuses responsibility--

- What would happen if Mr.
Orcott went off his medication?

Could he become violent?

- Schizophrenics generally
are not violent, do

not become murderers.

- You're not answering
the question, Doctor.

Could Mr. Orcott become violent?

- Possibly, but David makes
sure he takes his medication.

- But currently, don't
you blood test him twice

a month to ensure he complies?

That's hospital policy.

- He's also under the daily
scrutiny of the medical staff.

Isn't that right?

Yes.

- And if Orcott is
released, would he be blood

tested and monitored by doctors?

No.

- So there would
be no way to make

sure he takes his medication.

No.

- Then how can you
guarantee David

Orcott won't have a relapse?

- Medical statistics show--

I'm not talking probabilities.

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

if released?

Of course not.

I can't guarantee
you won't either.

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

Objection.

Withdrawn.

[murmuring]

[phone ringing]

- Leland, I've finished
reviewing the Osgood file.

Good.

I want to obtain
polygraphs on both Frank

Osgood and Philip Tice.

Can you help me with the DA?

- Do you think Tice
is telling the truth?

I still have my doubts.

If we can use the DA's
polygraph specialist,

maybe they'll stipulate
to admissibility.

Why this sudden urgency?

Tice is in the hospital.

Stomach cancer is worse,
may not last much longer.

See what I can do, sir.

Thank you.

Stuart.

Oh, hey.

- Stuart, could I
talk to you a second?

Yeah, hi, Gwen.

What's up?

I owe you an apology.

For what?

- Well, Ann must
not have told you,

but during all that craziness
with whoever was stalking me,

sending those deranged
gifts, it's all stopped now.

But at one point, I
thought it was you.

You did?

Mm, wild, huh?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

[baby coos]

Hi.

My expert witness was supposed
to arrive 20 minutes ago.

Maybe his train got delayed.

These days, who rides the rails?

- Oh, this guy doesn't
fly, claims his sinuses

can't handle the altitude.

His nose is his meal ticket.

- I think your
nose just blew in.

Mr. Smith?

Morales?

How are you doing?

- Well, I'm not too
happy about being

in LA, nitrogen dioxide, carbon
monoxide, too much ozone.

You have a lethal
pollutant standards index.

[sniffs] Not to mention that
kid's diaper needs changing.

- Yeah, well, I'll, I'll
give Lucy to the sitter,

and we can head out
to my client's ranch.

- You're, you're wearing
a bit too much Obsession,

but that's OK.

It's helping disguise
the scent of fear.

Boy, look at all this stuff,

Champagne from CAA,

beluga caviar from ICM,

Even a cellular phone from
the William Morris Agency.

- And a new car
from Ben Flicker.

It's all manipulation,
Rox, cheap attempts to buy

friendship, curry my favor.

I am not enjoying myself, Rox.

What do I want?

Fame?

That just complicates life.

It compromises simplicity.

Money?

The effort to get rich
can steal your time.

- You know, I hate to admit it,
but you're traveling the world

really has changed you.

You're not the man
you used to be.

- Globe trotting
was nothing compared

to this magical mystery
tour that I'm on with Ben

Flicker at Worldwide studios.

I am dealing with
strange people,

enigmas wrapped in mysteries.

I don't even know who to trust.

Trust yourself.

Well, what do you mean?

The new president
and creative director

of current and long form
feature developments?

What does that even mean?

- You have a very
powerful position.

Don't be afraid to take control.

You're right.

I'm going to speak with Flicker.

Things have to change.

- Before you leave--

Later, Rox.

- --I want to share something.

Can it wait?

Arnie, no.

I'm pregnant.

- Rox, that's uh--

Great?

Terrific?

Yeah, if you say so.

Look, I, I have to run.

Arnie, you can't.

- I thought the car in your
space belonged to the CPA

across the hall.

I had it towed, but I
guess that makes us even

for the warm congratulations.

- I mean, you just have to
question a system that would

even entertain the
possibility of letting

a brutal killer like this go
free after only eight years.

What's happening
here, it's not only--

What the hell is he doing?

- It's a damn wasted--

Flexing his civil rights.

- --protecting criminals rights
over those of his victims.

Holtz can't do this, Tommy.

For god's sakes, he's right
outside the jury room.

- Why should he even
get a second chance?

Our daughter sure as hell
won't get a second chance.

And to let David Orcott
go free is to let

him get away with murder.

You all know that.

- My client can no longer
possibly get a fair hearing.

Mr. Holtz made
inflammatory statements--

- Mr. Holtz has a
right to free speech.

- Move for a mistrial.
- What?

Denied.

- Mr. Holtz has maligned my
client in the press daily.

He seems intent on creating
an atmosphere for a lynch mob.

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

This is ridiculous.

He's a non-party.

He's right, Mr. LaPorte.

I have no authority
to impose a gag.

The jury has been
admonished to avoid

press coverage of the trial.

- Your honor, may
I say something?

No, you may listen.

I can't prevent you from
speaking to reporters,

but I can damn well
keep you from doing

so inside this courthouse.

- You yourself said I had
a First Amendment right.

- Which is outweighed by Mr.
Orcott's right to a fair trial.

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

because if you pull a
stunt like this again,

you can expect to spend
the night in jail.

- When I purchased the ranch,
the only scent in the air

was the desert pear blossoms.

- When did you
first learn a swine

finishing facility had
opened a half mile away.

- The Saturday
before Thanksgiving.

I'd stayed away while
renovations were being made,

but when the work was completed,
I drove up with a lady friend

for the weekend.

How was the visit?

Well, at first, fine.

It was a lovely,
crisp, sunny day.

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

suddenly shifted,
and we were engulfed

in an unspeakable stench.

- Can you describe
the effect the odor

had on you and your guest?

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

My friend lost her breakfast.

As the day wore on,
the stink got worse.

By 2 o'clock, we
were on our way home.

- And are you
certain Maggie Farms

is the source of the stench?

Absolutely.

The air used to be pristine.

Now, it's, now,
it's unbreathable.

That hog finishing plant
has turned my ranch

into an uninhabitable wasteland.

They ought to do something
about the smell or move.

No more questions, your honor.

- Mr. Brady, are you aware that
the Piedmont landfill is only

four miles from your property?

Yes.

- Well, isn't it possible
that the landfill

is responsible for the odor?

In my opinion, no.

- Yes, well, tell
me, Mr. Graney,

how many others have joined
you in your complaint

against my client?

It's an isolated area.

I'm the only resident affected.

In other words, none.

Now, your ranch was never
intended as a primary residence

now, was it?

- No, I plan to
use it on weekends.

- And to the best
of your knowledge,

has Maggie Farms Incorporated
violated any codes

or permit regulations?

No.

- And still, you want to close
down a new, lawfully operated

business that
employs 43 people, so

that you can weekend with your
lady friends in the desert?

Nothing further.

[murmuring]

[classical music]

How we feeling?

Depressed.

- Maybe if you came
a little closer.

Douglas.

Breathe deep.

Did I leave the oven on?

Sheila, sniff me here.

What is with you?

It's an experiment.

What can it hurt?

Just come on.

Smell me, please.

[sniffs]

Now, what are you feeling?

Threatened.

Oh, sweetheart.

- Maybe you ought to
sleep in the guest room.

- Wait till I get my hands
on those two little rodents.

This crap doesn't work.

Fine.

I'll sleep in the guest room.

Darling.

[door opens and shuts]

- Mr. Orcott, would
you please tell

the court what you recollect
about the night your wife died?

It was a nightmare.

It was like I was standing there
watching someone else attacking

my wife, someone evil.

- Are you saying that you
didn't commit the murder.

I'm not making an excuse.

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

I loved my wife very much.

The time we shared
together before I got sick

was wonderful.

- Do you feel remorse
for what you've done?

- Remorse doesn't even begin--

There is no word to
describe my regret.

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

- Now, doctors have testified
that your behavior was atypical

of most schizophrenics,
that the circumstances which

brought it on were unique.

- Your honor, can we
skip the speeches?

Ask your question, counselor.

- David, what assures us
that you'll continue to take

your medication if released?

- If I don't, I
risk another attack,

and I won't let that
happen, not again.

Thank you.

[murmurs]

- Mr. Orcott, hospital
records show on July 12, 1990,

you abused hospital privileges
and snuck out to a bar.

Is this true?

- I was only gone a half an
hour, one of the other patients

was antagonizing me.

I felt I had to get away.

- Haven't doctors
warned you that alcohol

makes you vulnerable to
schizophrenic episodes?

Yes.

- And didn't you
kill your wife while

under the influence of alcohol?

Yes.

- But you went ahead anyway and
ordered up a shot of tequila.

I didn't drink it.

Not that time.

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

what will you do then?

Run off to a bar
and get hammered?

Objection, argumentative.

Sustained.

- Mr. Orcott, in a
letter to the court,

you wrote that you'd come to
terms with your crime, correct?

I understand why it happened.

I was psychotic.

- You're trying to tell me
you've come to terms with this?

- Objection, the condition
of Mrs. Orcott's body

is irrelevant.

- It reflects the extent of
Mr. Orcott's derangement.

- It's inflammatory
and highly prejudicial.

- Sustained.
Mr. Mulaney, put that away.

- I'm sorry, Patricia.
I'm so sorry.

- Mr. Orcott--

- I know I can't expect
you to forgive me, just

please try to understand.
I didn't know what I was doing.

Mr. Orcott, I'm warning you.

- I would trade my life
for Sandra's if I could.

Whatever I do will
never be enough.

Move to strike.

Mr. Orcott, sit down.

You son of a bitch.

I loved her.

I loved her so much.

[tragic music]

[upbeat music]

- Douglas, I've been going
over these projections

for Lambergé Labs--

Don't bother.

Tweedledum and Tweedledumber
are wasting our time.

Thank god, they're
billable hours.

What changed your opinion?

- The facts-- one, they don't
look you in the eye, two,

they have no proven
track record, and three,

last night, I took
home the extracts

and experimented on my ex-wife.

Douglas, how could you?

- It was in the interest
of research, Ann.

You and I both know
Sheila has a libido that

would put Secretariat to shame.

I didn't know.

Well, you do now.

In any event, if
this formula fails

to get my ex-wife in the
saddle, then believe me,

it doesn't work.

- Douglas, you used
the male pheromone,

the one that attracts men.

Are you aware that this
lasts for 24 hours?

I haven't read the data.

- [sighs] Well,
here are my comments

on the financial projections.

You were right about
one thing, this formula

could be a gold mine.

[phone rings]

Ann, what are we going to do?

We?

- These two are bound to
notice the missing formula.

- I'm sure you'll
think of something.

Douglas.

- Jonathan, what
are you doing back?

I work here.

- You weren't due
for another week.

- Well, that didn't take
into account schistosomiasis.

Where's that?

- It's an intestinal
virus, Douglas.

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

Welcome home.

Glad to be back.

Douglas,

I, I missed you.

- Let's pretend
this never happened.

- Jonathan, hey, we weren't
expecting you back so soon.

- Oh, I, I need to
hit the bathroom.

What's that all about?

- It seems Mr. Rollins picked
up some virulent strain

of Sudan shuffle.

What is it, Leland?

- Oh, I just never realized--

- -how brown your eyes are.

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

Hm.

You want some ice cream?

- I don't usually eat
sweets in the afternoon.

Sugar high, sugar
lows, less calories.

This isn't a life choice.

Ice cream would be nice.

Stuart,

Is something wrong?

Why?

Does it seem like
something's wrong?

No.

No, it's just that
ever since you

made the turn on your
recovery, you seem, well--

Unhappy?

- Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Even though I feel better,

I felt better.

- I'm not sure what
you mean exactly.

- I'm thinking more, not so much
introspective, just unwilling

to take things for
granted, curious

about the way things
work, you know,

like why is electricity
always there?

Or gravity, how
come we don't just

go spinning off the planet?

- That sound crazy?
- Uh-uh.

Good.

Excellent.

Instant chocolate sundae.

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

- Ann would kill you if she
saw you doing it here, too.

That's part of what I mean.

This is me.

This is who I am, and I've
got to learn a way to work

this into my day-to-day life.

- It takes a special person
to go through a bad situation

and come out better
on the other side.

- You're like that, resilient,
determined, focused.

Pregnant.

For real?

I didn't even know
you were trying.

That's great!

I'm really happy for you.

Thanks.

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

It doesn't matter.

I know who the mother is.

- And so God taught
Moses the laws

for living together in peace.

These laws were
printed on two stone

tablets Moses brought
down from the mountain,

and they're called what?

Arnie?

- Uh, well, well,
they're called--

The Ten Commandments, right.

There's only one God.

Do not bow down to idols.

Less Nintendo, more homework.

Do not swear falsely
by the name of God.

Keep the Sabbath Holy.

Honor your father and mother.

Always kiss them good night.

Do not murder or beat up on
your brothers and sisters.

Do not take another man's
wife or another man's husband.

Unto the next, do not steal.

Do not lie, and
finally, do not want

what does not belong to you.

10 simple rules sounds
easy, but as you get older,

it's not always a breeze.

God knows you're human.

People make mistakes, but
remember, it's in the trying.

Now, run down the hall
to the screening room

for refreshments and
Eisner's Aladdin.

Thank you.

- Don't forget to
sign your vouchers.

A cartoon grossing $100 million,
we could use a hit like that.

- Sydney says you talk
to these kids every week.

- Their parents work on the
lot, very busy these days.

This is my way of helping.

Always have time for children.

Ben, we need to talk.

Me first.

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

Ninth commandment?

And a few more.

I want you to meet Schuller.

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

He may not be so polite.

By the way, you ice skate?

- Mr. Smith, due to your
acute nasal sensitivity,

have you worked before
as an odor expert?

Dozens of times.

I've been a hired nose
for GM, Monsanto, Kleenex.

The list goes on.

- Your honor, I
ask that Mr. Smith

be accepted as an odor expert.

Objection.

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

Mr. Smith's opinions
are entirely subjective.

Overruled.

The court accepts Mr.
Smith as qualified.

Thank you, Your Honor.

You've examined the air
at my client's ranch.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Any evidence of pig stench?

Definitely.

At what level?

30 decismells.

The scale is a variation
of the decibel scale.

0 decismells means
that the odor is

undetectable to
the average nose.

10 decismells means--

Your Honor, I object.

The decismell scale is
meaningless to the lay nose.

- Your Honor, with permission,
I can put this in terms

the lay nose can understand.

- I'm holding my
breath in anticipation.

- Contained in these
balloons are air samples,

the white balloon
taken from the roof

of Mr. Graney's
ranch home, the black

from the driveway
of Maggie Farms.

Objection, prejudicial.

How do you figure?

- Plaintiff is represented by
white, respondent by black,

planting a subliminal message--

Give it a rest, counselor.

- Your Honor, would you
please take the white balloon

and put your nose near the
opening, undoing the clamp.

[balloon wheezes]

[clears throat]

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

[balloon wheezes]

[coughs] I love my job.

- I won't take
the witness stand.

- Mrs. Holtz, we
need your testimony.

Why?

A doctor's already sworn.

He believes David is dangerous.

- The jury has heard
conflicting experts.

You can tip the scale.

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

I don't care anymore.

- This bastard kills our
daughter, and you don't care?

- For years, I have
hated him, and now, I see

he's as torn apart as we are.

Come on!

You believe what this guy said?

I know David,

And I remember the boy our
daughter fell in love with.

He was thoughtful, and
he was funny and gentle.

And he turned into a monster,
but the man I saw today--

was just a tormented version
of the boy I once knew.

And I just can't
hate him anymore.

- Patricia, so help me
God, if you don't testify,

I'll never forgive you.

Raymond, listen to yourself.

You're so full of vengeance
it's making you sick.

We can't spend the rest
of our lives hating David.

At some point, we
have to let go.

Mrs. Holtz, please.

I know it's rough dredging
up horrible memories,

but if not for Sandra--

You don't know my pain.

I refuse to be
part of a vendetta.

[classical music]

Mr. Schuller is meeting us?

- He's already here,
but before we talk,

we skate counter-clockwise.

Why?

That's just the way it is.

Ask Sonja Henie.

I had this rink built to her
own demanding specifications.

I never did this as a kid.

- 1936 Olympics,
Garmisch, Germany,

a little more practice,
Hitler would have plotzed.

Wait, wait.

[classical music]

Uh.

Ben.

Ben.

Ben, are you OK?

Easy.

Let me give you a hand.

Easy, easy.

Perception, remember?

- Ben, look we're
spinning in circles.

Not at all.

Listen.

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

Worldwide Studios is a
publicly held company.

At the upcoming annual meeting,
the subject of Schuller's

divorce will be the hot top.

Trust me.

Where is Schuller?

- I was worried the whole
megillah over his divorce

would bring the price of
Worldwide crashing down.

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

That's why I brought you to him.

- Who?
- Schuller.

What?

The iceman cometh.

Where?

Right under your nose.

Guess I'm headed for jail.

[classical music]

- How much can we
expect David Orcott

to pay for a crime for which
he was not legally responsible?

Schizophrenia is a
devastating illness

not maladjusted behavior.

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

of insanity and sentenced him
to a mental hospital not as

punishment, but to be treated.

The doctor that works
closest with David

says he poses no
threat to society

if he maintains his medication.

Now by law, a hospital cannot
detain a patient who is

neither dangerous nor insane.

My client is neither
dangerous nor insane.

Under the law, David
Orcott must be released.

- David Orcott's doctor
says he should be released.

I found a doctor who disagrees.

One point they both agree
on is this, if David Orcott

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

We just don't know.

But the last time that
man became psychotic,

he took this hammer, and he
brought it down with full force

onto his wife's head
not once but 15 times.

When finished,
Sandra Orcott's skull

and face were in
pieces, her blood

and brain covered the floor.

Can David Orcott be trusted
to take his medication?

Is he still dangerous?

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

[murmuring]

You violated our trust.

I deserve a second chance.

- I don't want to be curt,
but give me that vial.

- Jay, maybe we
should try looking

at this with a new heart.

- That's the pheromone
talking, Tom.

Please.

I made a mistake.

Curiosity got the
better of this cat.

Stop making excuses.

- I'm simply trying--

trying to protect Ms. Kelsey.

You see, she's been having
problems with her husband.

- This is the lowest
you have ever sunk.

How dare you!

Gentlemen, perhaps it would
be in your best interest

if you were represented
by another firm.

Ann!

- You can take that to
the bank because we're

taking him to the cleaners.

- We're suing for--

what are we suing for?

Embezzlement?

Breach of fiduciary duties?

Ethics charges.

Quit being so damn helpful.

Thank you.

You're fired.

[door opens]

- Gentlemen, gentlemen, if
there's anything else we can

do here at McKenzie-Brackman--

You've done too much already.

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

Dennis was an expert
witness on the Graney case.

Well, isn't that nice?

Tom, Jay, are you sure
there isn't something?

Oh, no.

Leave us alone.

[sniffs]

Doug, so uh, what's your sign?

Excuse me?

- An Adonis like you
doesn't need an excuse.

Douglas!

Oh!

Oh, sweetheart, are you hurt?

I'm bleeding!

I'm all man.

You son of a bitch.

My nose!

You probably put
me out of business.

Get some ice on it.

I'm going to sue you.

Come on.

Want more today?

It'll be a hat trick.

I'll see you in court.

I look forward to it.

[murmuring]

- "We, the members
of the jury, find

David Orcott restored
to sanity and no

longer a danger to society."

No!

- I hereby order David Orcott
released from commitment.

[chatter]

- Send the scum back
where he belongs!

- Bailiffs, clear this
courtroom immediately.

You're a dead man!

Come on.

Let's go.

- We'll wait till
things quiet down a bit.

Then we'll get you out safely.

And after that?

Well, we'll see.

- I said bailiffs, clear
this courtroom immediately!

- Sir, the DA has agreed to the
admissibility of both Osgood

and Tice's polygraph.

Good for you.

How did you manage that?

- I just called in a few
favors at the attorney

general's office.

I owe you, Melina.

- The question now is would
this be enough to free Osgood?

- Not likely even
if he were to pass.

But at least it's a first step.

Now, I need to track
down the witness I should

have questioned 34 years ago.

Need any help?

Oh, you bet.

Sorry.

Did you call, Luisa Becker?

Daniel?

Yeah?

- Did you notice since
we started dating,

no weird gifts, no midnight
hang-ups on the phone?

You're too smart, Gwen.

You're right.

It was me all along.

- What are we
doing this weekend?

I don't know.

You got any ideas?

My parents will watch Lucy.

Oh.

- How about we go up to Big
Sur for two days, ride horses,

build a fire?

We're out of here.

Come on.

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

Not here, Stuart.

Lately, this place is
making no sense to me.

Well, let's get out of here.

- I've already made reservations
at Ventana Inn in Big Sur.

You did?

Mhm.

Great.

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

- Well, maybe this
could be a start.

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

But you know what
really turned me on?

Being separated
from you last night.

Even listening to your
snoring through the wall

made me vibrate.

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

I'll see when I get there.

Get where?

- God's most beautiful
meeting of land and sea,

Big Sur, adjoining rooms.

I can live with that.

Excuse me.

Got a package for Gwen Taylor.

There's no
receptionist out there.

Hmm, I'll sign.

Weekend's finally here, huh?

Any plans?

- No, just sitting
around the house.

All right.

Thank you.

[stomach growling]

Hope I can make it.

[boom]

[sizzles]

[long beep]

Where they taking me?

- Legally, the police
aren't obligated to give

you protective custody.

The judge agreed
there's a real danger,

so for now, it's
back to the hospital.

That's freedom?

Come on.

Look, I'll stop by tomorrow,
and we'll figure out something.

[door shuts]

[ominous music]

Hey, there he is!

[horn honks]

[siren wails]

Hey, come on.

Come on.

Come on, get out.

[yelling]

Get out of there!

No!

Please I didn't--

[glass shattering]

Help!

[siren wailing]

Are you OK?

Justice, American style.

- News said that he was
beaten pretty badly.

That's being polite.

I'm sorry.

You know, I am feeling so lousy.

I am really going to punish
myself and quit altogether.

Are you blaming yourself?

Oh, come on.

I can rabble rouse
with the best of them.

- Tommy--

No, no, Rox, it's true.

I mean, there I was cheerleading
right along with Holtz,

me, whipping it up inside
the courtroom while he

was working the crowd outside.

You were doing your job.

- Well, that's
kind of funny, too.

The old Tommy, I wouldn't have
given it a second thought,

but all that kept
running through my head

now was what if 15
years down the line,

and this chucklehead Orcott
moved in next door to my family

and this was my daughter.

[dramatic music]

So you want a girl?

I just want safe.

[tender music]

I just want healthy.
