Announcer: PREVIOUSLY ON THE PRACTICE...

PERMISSION TO SMACK HIM, JUDGE.

HEY, DON'T INTIMIDATE ME.

MR. COLSON--

YOUR HONOR, HE DOES THIS ON PURPOSE,

HE GOES TO GET MY GOAT,

AND HE GETS IT. HE GETS IT EVERY TIME.

PAY YOU? WHY THE HELL SHOULD I PAY YOU?

THIS IS MY THIRD APPEARANCE--

YEAH, AND YOU'RE 0 FOR 3.

WHAT KIND OF SQUAT HEAD DO YOU THINK I AM?

JIMMY, YOU BEEN DOING GREAT WORK,

BUT THIS IS A JURY TRIAL.

I WAS LOSING WITH JURY TRIALS 'CAUSE I SWEAT.

IS IT A GOOD SIGN THAT THEY CAME BACK THIS QUICK?

IT'S A VERY GOOD SIGN IF WE WIN,

BUT NOT IF WE LOSE.

WE FIND FOR THE PLAINTIFF

AND ORDER THE DEFENDANT TO PAY COMPENSATORY DAMAGES

IN THE AMOUNT OF $82,000.

I WON!

I WON.

MY FIRST VICTORY WITH A JURY.

IF I HAD TO WAIT, I THINK THE SWEATING WOULD'VE COME BACK.

THE REPUTATION OF THIS FIRM DOESN'T MATTER TO YOU?

WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU THINK OUR REPUTATION IS HERE, BOBBY?

I MEAN, WHO ARE YOU KIDDING?

WE ARE "REASONABLE DOUBT FOR A REASONABLE FEE."

WE ARE A BOTTOM-FEEDING, DO-WHATEVER-YOU-CAN-TO-GET- YOUR-CLIENT-OFF LAW FIRM!

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR PUNY LITTLE CHALLENGED MIND?

I DON'T APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION.

THIS LAW FIRM DOESN'T ADVERTISE.

IT WOULD JUST BE FOR MYSELF.

YOU ARE A PART OF THIS FIRM.

LOTS OF LAWYERS DO COMMERCIALS.

YEAH, THE SHYSTERS, THE AMBULANCE CHASERS--

THOSE ARE THE LAWYERS WHO ADVERTISE.

WHO ARE WE, FINLEY KRUMBLE?

JIMMY, THINK ABOUT YOUR REPUTATION.

I GOT NO REPUTATION. I ALSO GOT NO CLIENTS.

I'M COMING OFF A BIG WIN HERE.

IT'D BE A COUPLE OF 30-SECOND SPOTS.

THIS IS THE TIME TO MAXIMIZE MY PROFILE.

T-T-TELL HIM.

I AGREE WITH BOBBY.

THAT'S 'CAUSE YOU'RE RADCLIFFE.

ELLENOR, TELL HIM THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S DONE,

LAWYERS CAN'T BE TOO PROUD THESE DAYS.

I DON'T BELIEVE IN LAWYERS ADVERTISING, JIMMY.

YOU ADVERTISED FOR A DATE.

YEAH, WELL, I DON'T BELIEVE IN THAT ANYMORE, EITHER.

I'LL JUST USE MY OWN PERSONAL NAME.

I WON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE REST OF YOU.

I WANNA CONTRIBUTE HERE. I WANNA BRING IN BUSINESS.

AT LEAST GIVE ME THE CHANCE.

LOOK, LET ME JUST MAKE IT.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, IT WON'T AIR.

WHAT'S THE HARM?

NOT A WORD ABOUT THIS FIRM.

THANK YOU.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

THEY CAN SHOOT IT IN A DAY,

OVER AND DONE WITH IN A SNEEZE.

YOU WON'T REGRET THIS.

DONNELL AND ASSOCIATES.

CALM DOWN.

PLEASE HOLD.

BOBBY...MARTIN PARKS.

OH, GOD.

I THOUGHT WE DUMPED HIM.

HE PAID, AND THEN WE UNDUMPED HIM.

HE SAYS HE'S BEING ASSAULTED BY HIS DOCTOR,

AND HE WANTS YOU THERE NOW.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

[RING]

DONNELL AND ASSOCIATES.

PLEASE HOLD.

IT'S YOUR PRIEST.

MY PRIEST?

FATHER?

ALL R--SLOW DOWN. SLOW DOWN.

IS THE CORONER THERE?

WHAT ABOUT THE POLICE?

GET YOURSELF IN A BACK ROOM, SAY NOTHING.

I'M ON MY WAY. WHAT?

MY PRIEST JUST BECAME A CLIENT.

WHAT ABOUT MARTIN PARKS?

UH...

YOU GUYS HANDLE IT.

I GOT A COMMERCIAL TO SHOOT.

DON'T LOOKI'LL QUIT AT ME.BEFORE I SIGN UP FOR HIM.

HANDS NOW.

TODAY'S THE DAYI DON'T I GIVE BLOOD...EVEN KNOW THE GUY...

DO IT!

ONCE, TWICE, THRICE, SHOOT.

MOTHER!

TOO BAD.

HE'S REALLY NICE UNDERNEATH.

I GOT A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS.

[SIRENS]

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GO.

TAKE ME TO THE BACK ENTRANCE.

I--I THINK SHE HAD A HEART ATTACK.

ALL RIGHT, WHERE CAN WE TALK PRIVATE?

UH, WELL, THERE'S AN OFFICER USING MY PHONE.

BOBBY, I COULD BE IN TROUBLE.

SHH. COME ON.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

ALL RIGHT. FIRST, YOU'RE GONNA CALM DOWN, TAKE IT EASY.

SHE--SHE DIED. MY GOD.

DID YOU CONTRIBUTE TO HER DEATH?

YES.

I MAY HAVE CAUSED THE HEART ATTACK.

I WAS PERFORMING AN EXORCISM.

I BEG YOUR PARDON?

SHE WAS CONVINCED SHE WAS POSSESSED BY DEMONS.

SHE WAS STRAPPED TO THE TABLE.

I WAS PRAYING OVER HER.

SHE STARTED THRASHING A LITTLE

AND I HIT HER--

I HIT HER ON THE CHEST.

THAT'S WHEN SHE HAD THE ATTACK.

BOBBY, WHAT DO I DO?

SHOULDN'T I TELL THE POLICE WHAT HAPPENED?

HOW HARD DID YOU HIT HER?

P-PRETTY HARD.

PRETTY HARD.

Man: COME ON. WHERE IS HE?

Woman: HOLD ON, SIR. YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE.

I SAID TO SEND BOBBY.

UH, BOBBY'S UNAVAILABLE.

WELL, MAKE HIM AVAILABLE!

I'M BEING SODOMIZED HERE!

YOU'RE NOT BEING SODOMIZED!

YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME, FRUIT LOOP--

I'M GOINGYOU PICKED THE TO SUE FORWRONG GUY TO GET DEFAMATION--YOUR JOLLIES--

HEY!

ONE AT A TIME.

NOW, WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS GOING ON HERE?

THIS PSYCHOIT'S NOT IN NEEDS HISMY GOD'S NAME MEDICATIONWHAT'S GOING ON. READJUSTED.

QUIET!I WANT BOBBY DONNELL.

YOU NOT GETTIN' HIM.

DOCTOR?

IT'S A PROCTOLOGICAL EXAM.

I DIDN'T THINK HE'D GO SPELUNKING UP MY BUTT!

IT'S A SIGMOIDOSCOPE, YOU WACKO.

WHAT MEDICAL SCHOOL DID YOU GRADUATE FROM?

'CAUSE I HOPE I FIND-- I'M GONNA SUE SOMETHING! THEM, TOO!

I HOPE I FIND A BIG, GREEN TUMOR

THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL DOWN THERE.

STOP IT! NOBODY TALK!

DR. WALSH, THOUGH I REPRESENT MR. PARKS,

I WILL GIVE YOU A FREE TIP.

IF THIS EVER ENDS UP IN COURT,

YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SAYING THINGS

LIKE "YOU HOPE TO FIND A BIG, GREEN TUMOR THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL."

DO YOU KNOW HOW HUMILIATING THIS IS?

I'VE GOT PATIENTS WAITING OUT THERE.

I HAD PEOPLE,

BEFORE THIS GUY STARTED SCREAMING "RAPE"

AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS.

HE'S YELLING, "TAKE YOUR THING OUT OF MY RECTUM!"

DO YOU KNOW HOW DEFAMED I AM?

YOU WANNA SWAP PLACES, STICKBUTT?

HEY, QUIET. HEY, HEY, HEY!

OK, FIRST, WHY DON'T WE REMOVE THE, UH...

HE WON'T LET ME REMOVE IT.

IT'S EVIDENCE.

I WANT YOU TO TAKE PICTURES, GET DIFFERENT ANGLES.

I'M SORRY, STEVEN. I CAME AS SOON AS I COULD. I--

YOU?

OH, NO. HE'S YOUR LAWYER?

NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE MATTER IS HERE,

BUT I WILL NEITHER ENGAGE IN

NOR TOLERATE ANY OF YOUR NONSENSE.

WE WILL CONDUCT OURSELVES WITH DIGNITY.

FINE. MR. COLSON, MEET MY CLIENT, MR. PARKS.

DIGNIFIED ENOUGH?

TAKE A PICTURE!

HAVE YOU OR A LOVED ONE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT?

IF SO...YOU HAVE RIGHTS.

OK, JIMMY.

YOU'RE A LITTLE STIFF, BUT IT'S GOOD.

I DON'T THINK I'M GONNA HAVE YOU SITTING,

AND LET'S GET RID OF THE JACKET HERE.

AS LONG AS I DON'T LIFT MY ARMS.

I PERSPIRE. IT'S IN MY GENES.

OK. WHATEVER. MAKEUP.

HOW COULD BOBBY SAY YES TO THIS?

HE COULD STILL SAY NO.

EVEN SO, THIS IS A NEW LOW.

STOP BEING SO SNOOTY. THIS IS A SERVICE BUSINESS.

OK, ACTION.

ANYBODY YOU KNOW BEEN HIT BY A BUS?

I CAN HELP.

THINK IT WAS A SEIZURE? WHAT?

NO. CORONARY. SHE PROBABLY DIED INSIDE A MINUTE.

AND YOU WOULD BE?

OH, HI, OFFICER. BOBBY DONNELL.

I'M LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE CHURCH.

ANYTIME THE AMBULANCE COMES, I GET THE PAGE.

ONLY IN HER 50s, HUH?

YEAH. PRIEST WAS WITH HER WHEN IT HAPPENED?

YEAH. SHE WENT DOWN RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM, POOR GUY.

HE'S DESTROYED. YOU WANT TO TALK TO HIM OR ANYTHING?

YEAH. I'D LIKE TO GET A QUICK STATEMENT, IF I COULD.

SURE.

THEY WANT A STATEMENT.

OK. I SHOULD GIVE IT TO THEM, RIGHT?

I THINK SO. NOTHING'S SUSPICIOUS TO THEM NOW.

THEY'RE JUST CALLING IT HEART ATTACK.

IF YOU DON'T TALK, WE MIGHT MAKE THEM SUSPICIOUS.

EXACTLY HOW HARD DID YOU HIT HER?

UH, LIKE, UH-- LIKE THIS.

[POUNDS HARD]

FATHER, HELP ME OUT HERE A LITTLE.

EXORCISMS--YOU REALLY DO THESE THINGS?

ALMOST NEVER.

THIS IS ONLY MY SECOND IN 30-PLUS YEARS.

WHY DID YOU DO THIS ONE?

LOOK, IF THIS DOES GET OUT,

I GOTTA BE ARMED WITH FAST ANSWERS.

ALICE WAS A DIAGNOSED SCHIZOPHRENIC.

SHE HAD EPISODES.

SHE THOUGHT IT WAS A DEMONIC POSSESSION OF SOME SORT.

DID YOU?

NOT REALLY,

BUT SHE WAS SO DESPERATE TO DO SOMETHING,

AND SHE BELIEVED IN EXORCISM.

I THOUGHT THAT, PSYCHOLOGICALLY,

IT COULD BE A KIND OF PLACEBO.

ALL RIGHT.

TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

I HAD HER STRAPPED TO THE TABLE.

I WAS PRAYING AGGRESSIVELY

AND DEMANDING IN THE NAME OF GOD THAT...

SATAN RID HIMSELF OF HER BODY,

AND SHE STARTED TO JERK A LITTLE.

JERK? HOW?

LIKE A SMALL CONVULSION,

AND SHE STARTED SCREAMING OBSCENITIES.

IT WAS LIKELY A SCHIZOPHRENIC EPISODE,

AND THAT'S WHEN I BROUGHT MY HAND DOWN ON HER CHE--

ON HER CHEST.

SHE STARTED GASPING...

TURNING BLUE.

I COULD SEE SHE WASN'T GETTING ANY AIR.

SO I TRIED MOUTH-TO-MOUTH, BUT--

DID ANYBODY ELSE KNOW ABOUT THIS?

NO. SHE WAS ADAMANT THAT IT BE KEPT SECRET,

BUT BY CANON LAW, I HAD TO TELL ARCHBISHOP MAZONEY

TO GET HIS PERMISSION.

SO HE KNEW?

HE DENIED PERMISSION.

WE HAD AN ARGUMENT.

I TOLD HIM I WAS MAYBE GONNA TRY IT ANYWAY.

SO YOU DID THIS WITHOUT PERMISSION.

OH, BOBBY...

THIS WOMAN HAD BEEN IN MY PARISH FOR 20 YEARS.

I COULDN'T SIT BACK

AND LET HER DETERIORATE ANYMORE.

SHE EVEN HAD HER PSYCHIATRIST TRY...

EXPERIMENTAL DRUGS.

SHE WAS THAT DESPERATE.

I TRIED TO HELP HER.

INSTEAD, MAYBE I KILL--KILLED HER.

YOU DIDN'T KILL HER.

ALL RIGHT, LISTEN TO ME.

THIS IS YOUR STATEMENT.

I CAN'T REVEAL THE CONTEXT OF THE MEETING.

UH, PRIEST-PARISHIONER.

AND IT WAS DURING THE MEETING SHE HAD THE HEART ATTACK?

YES.

WAS THE MEETING UPSETTING HER?

WAS SHE WORKED UP ABOUT SOMETHING?

SHE'S A SCHIZOPHRENIC,

AND SHE MAY HAVE BEEN HAVING AN EPISODE.

THAT DOESN'T REVEAL THE NATURE OF WHAT THE MEETING WAS ABOUT.

IT'S OK.

AND, UH, WHEN SHE WENT DOWN,

WHAT HAPPENED?

I DID MOUTH-TO-MOUTH.

THEN CHEST COMPRESSIONS, AND WHEN SHE DIDN'T RESPOND,

HE CALLED 911.

NO, I DIDN'T DO CHEST COMPRESSIONS.

I JUST DID MOUTH-TO-MOUTH.

OK.

ANYTHING ELSE?

NO.

THANK YOU, FATHER.

I KNOW, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES--

WELL, WE APPRECIATE YOUR COOPERATION.

SURE.

MY CONDOLENCES.

WELL, THIS IS QUITE A DAY.

FIRST, I KILL SOMEBODY, THEN I LIE.

WHAT A WONDERFUL PRIEST I AM.

YOU DIDN'T KILL HER, AND YOU DIDN'T LIE.

DO YOU THINK WE SENT THAT OFFICER OUT

WITH THE RIGHT IMPRESSION OF WHAT HAPPENED?

IT'S TRUE.

YOU CAN'T REVEAL PRIEST-PARISHIONER COMMUNICATIONS.

WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT CHEST COMPRESSIONS?

LOOK, FATHER, YOU'RE IN A LITTLE DEEP HERE.

IF THIS INFORMATION GETS OUT THE WRONG WAY,

YOU COULD LOSE YOUR CHURCH.

YOU COULD BE EXPOSED TO NEGLIGENCE CLAIMS AND CRIMINAL,

YOU COULD GO UP ON MANSLAUGHTER.

LET ME DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO.

OK.

I'M GOING TO GET YOU THROUGH THIS.

YOU REMEMBER WHEN MY MOTHER DIED?

MMM.

HOW YOU GOT ME THROUGH IT?

WELL...

NOW IT'S MY TURN.

I'M GOING TO PULL YOU THROUGH THIS.

DON'T MOVE.

EITHER ONE OF YOU.

IF I HEARD CORRECTLY,

YOU'RE HERE TO GET A COURT ORDER

TO ALLOW YOUR CLIENT TO REMOVE A TUBE FROM HIS CLIENT'S--

WE'RE SEEKING DECLARATORY RELIEF.

IF MY CLIENT CONCLUDES THIS PROCEDURE AGAINST HIS CLIENT'S WILL,

IT COULD BE CONSTRUED AS BATTERY.

ALSO, THERE ARE SERIOUS MITIGATION ISSUES.

AND AS WE STAND HERE, YOUR CLIENT REMAINS IN HIS CLIENT'S OFFICE

WITH THE TUBE STILL--

THAT'S CORRECT, YOUR HONOR.

THERE ARE CERTAIN SITUATIONS WHERE THE COURT IS LOATH TO INTERVENE.

PARENTING WOULD BE SUCH A SITUATION.

CONSENSUAL RELATIONS BETWEEN MARRIED COUPLES.

PROCTOLOGICAL EXAMS.

NOW, WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET ANOTHER DOCTOR?

IT'S NOT QUITE THAT SIMPLE.

OH, IT ISN'T?

WELL, YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANY COURT ORDER FROM ME.

THIS IS PERVERSE.

I GOTTA SEE THE BODY. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SEE THE BODY?

LISTEN, IF SHE'S GOT A SERIOUS BRUISE,

THIS'LL GO TO THE POLICE BEFORE AN AUTOPSY.

I DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

THE M.E. HASN'T EVEN LOOKED AT THE BODY.

I REALLY SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS.

Bobby: I KNOW.

I UNDERSTAND.

IT'S JUST THAT ALICE KENNEDY

WAS IN FATHER MARTIN'S PARISH FOR 20 YEARS.

HE'S SUPPOSED TO DO THE BLESSING FOR THE DEAD.

LET'S JUST MAKE THIS QUICK, PLEASE?

Ellenor: WE REALLY APPRECIATE THIS, MAGGIE.

ALMIGHTY AND ETERNAL GOD,

HEAR OUR PRAYERS FOR YOUR DAUGHTER ALICE

WHOM YOU HAVE CALLED FROM THIS LIFE TO YOURSELF.

GRANT HER LIGHT, HAPPINESS, AND PEACE.

LET HER PASS IN SAFETY THROUGH THE GATES OF DEATH

AND LIVE FOREVER WITH ALL YOUR SAINTS

IN THE LIGHT YOU PROMISED TO ABRAHAM

AND TO ALL HIS DESCENDANTS IN FAITH.

AMEN.

THOSE ARE FROM THE STRAPS.

I HAD HER STRAPPED TO THE TABLE.

OK, UH, ELLENOR, I WANT YOU TO FIND DR. BARRY JACOB.

HE'S THE PSYCHIATRIST WHO TREATED HER FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA.

WE GOT NO RELEASE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CRACK HIM ON THE PRIVILEGE,

BUT YOU GOT TO TRY.

I GOTTA HAVE SOME IDEA HE'LL SUBSTANTIATE.

WILL THEY DO AN AUTOPSY?

THEY HAVE TO BY LAW. SHE WAS UNDER 55.

YEAH, BUT THAT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME.

I'M MORE WORRIED ABOUT THE EXTERNAL MARKS.

THERE WAS SOME SLIGHT BRUISING ON HER CHEST.

WE'RE ON THE CLOCK NOW.

WE HAVE TO GO TO THE POLICE BEFORE THEY GET WIND OF ANYTHING.

WHY?

I WANT TO BE PREEMPTIVE

AND GIVE THEM ANSWERS BEFORE THEY START ASKING QUESTIONS.

THAT'LL HELP OUR CREDIBILITY,

BUT FIRST WE GOT TO GET OUR DUCKS LINED UP.

THAT MEANS A CONFIRMATION FROM THE DOCTOR

THAT THE LADY FELT POSSESSED BY DEMONS.

WE ALSO NEED THE SUPPORT OF THE CHURCH.

THEY HAVE TO SAY THAT YOU ARE A PRIEST BEYOND REPROACH.

WILL THEY DO THAT?

NO, THEY'LL CUT ME OFF AS A ROGUE PRIEST.

THAT CANNOT HAPPEN.

THEY HAVE TO BE FULLY BEHIND US.

I WANT TO MAKE THIS AN EASY CALL FOR THE POLICE.

REBECCA, I NEED A MEETING

WITH COUNSEL FOR THE ARCHDIOCESE OF BOSTON.

I NEED IT WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR.

LET THEM KNOW IT'S URGENT.

IS LINDSAY THERE?

YEAH.

RIGHT HERE.

CALL IN KENNY TRIPP. TELL HIM I NEED A FAVOR.

WELL, DON'T TAKE ANY FLAP.

YOU TELL HIM I WANT HIS ASS IN MY OFFICE NOW.

BOBBY, I DON'T LIKE THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE.

WE HAVE TO SNUFF THIS OUT BEFORE THEY GET STARTED.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

UH, JUST LAWYER STUFF. THE STUFF THAT LAWYERS DO.

EXCUSE ME?

EXCUSED.

THERE'S NO REASON FOR A STENOGRAPHER.

THERE MOST CERTAINLY IS. I WANT A TRANSCRIPT.

I WANT IT RECORDED THAT YOUR CLIENT PREVENTED MY CLIENT

FROM COMPLETING THIS PROCEDURE.

LOOK, MR. PARKS, THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT CAN BE TOO COMFORTABLE.

WHY NOT JUST HAVE HIM TAKE IT OUT, SO--

NO!

MR. PARKS, YOU COULD GET AN INFECTION WITH THAT THING UP THERE.

NO! YOU'RE NOT COMING NEAR ME, NIMROD.

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

YOU KEEP TALKING. GET A PROCTOLOGIST IN HERE.

YOU'RE JUST ADDING ZEROES TO MY DEFAMATION CLAIM.

DEFAMATION?! YOU GOT ME WIRED FOR CABLE HERE!

FOR GOD'S SAKE, THIS IS YOUR PHYSICAL!

QUIET! YOU'RE BEING RIDICULOUS!

ALL RIGHT, I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE RECORD NOW,

AND I WILL THANK YOU FOR NOT INTERRUPTING ME IN ADVANCE.

THANK YOU.

NOW...

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY ACTIONS BROUGHT BY MR. PARKS

BY MY CLIENT'S ALLEGED FAILURE TO INFORM,

AN ALLEGATION MY CLIENT CATEGORICALLY DENIES,

ANY AND ALL COMPLICATIONS RESULTING FROM THE FAILURE TO COMPLETE THIS PROCEDURE,

ANY AND ALL COMPLICATIONS OR INFECTIONS

RESULTING FROM THE SIGMOIDOSCOPE BEING KEPT IN PLACE,

SAID COMPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DR. WALSH,

GIVEN MR. PARKS' DUTY TO MITIGATE.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT APPOINTMENTS.

YOU TELL HIM THERE'S A POTENTIAL MILLION DOLLAR LAWSUIT

ABOUT TO EXPLODE IN THE ARCHBISHOP'S FACE.

I'M TAKING 20 MINUTES OF HIS TIME NOW.

I'LL BE IN HIS OFFICE IN 10 SECONDS.

I CAN'T GIVE YOU THAT KIND OF INFORMATION.

I UNDERSTAND THE POSITION I'M PUTTING YOU IN.

WELL FOR SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS IT, YOU'RE NOT VERY TACTFUL.

YOU BARGE IN HERE, ANNOUNCE THAT ONE OF MY PATIENTS IS DEAD,

AND BEFORE I EVEN HAVE TIME TO GULP,

YOU'RE ASKING FOR HER MEDICAL RECORDS.

YOU KNOW, AS A LAWYER, YOU SHOULD AT LEAST UNDERSTAND PRIVILEGE.

NOT TO BE OVERLY INSENSITIVE, DOCTOR,

BUT I DON'T THINK PRIVILEGE SURVIVES THE PATIENT.

I MUST ASK YOU TO LEAVE, MISS FRUTT.

DR. JACOB, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DELICATE SITUATION.

CAN I PLEASE SPEAK TO YOU IN CONFIDENCE?

WELL, I SUPPOSE THAT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SAY.

ALICE KENNEDY DIED WHILE HER PRIEST WAS PERFORMING AN EXORCISM.

WHAT?

ACCORDING TO FATHER MARTIN,

SHE CLAIMED THAT SHE WAS POSSESSED BY DEMONIC SPIRITS.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU DIAGNOSED HER SCHIZOPHRENIA,

AND WE ALSO SUSPECT THAT SHE TOLD YOU OF HER PARANOIA

THAT SHE WAS POSSESSED.

I'M NOT ASKING FOR ANY DISCLOSURE OF SPECIFIC TREATMENT.

I JUST NEED YOU TO CONFIRM THESE 2 THINGS--

THAT SHE DID SUFFER FROM SCHIZOPHRENIA

AND THAT SHE TOLD YOU THAT SHE WAS POSSESSED.

I'M NOT ALLOWED TO DISCUSS ANY TREATMENT.

NOW, YOU KNOW THAT IF--

PLEASE, THE POLICE ARE LIKELY TO SUBPOENA YOUR RECORDS ANYWAY.

I'M HOPING IT DOESN'T COME TO THAT.

ESPECIALLY SINCE I'M TOLD YOU USED EXPERIMENTAL DRUGS ON HER ONCE,

AND I'M SURE THAT WOULDN'T HELP YOU PUBLIC RELATIONS-WISE.

IS THAT A THREAT?

I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP A GOOD PRIEST

AVOID SOME NEGATIVE PUBLICITY OF HIS OWN.

MY RECORDS WILL BEAR OUT HER SCHIZOPHRENIA

AS WELL AS HER DEMONIC PARANOIA.

THAT'S ALL I'LL SAY.

AND YOUR FIRST CONSULTATION...

ABSOLUTELY FREE.

AFTER THAT...

IF YOU DON'T MAKE MONEY,

THEN WE DON'T GET PAID.

CUT!

JIMMY...

JIMMY, JIMMY, JIMMY, JIMMY...OK.

POINT TO YOURSELF ON "WE"

AND THE CAMERA ON "YOU," OK?

GO WATCH ON THE MONITOR. I'LL SHOW YOU.

YOU MOVE ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE DESK...

IF YOU DON'T MAKE MONEY,

WE DON'T GET PAID.

YOU END UP HERE,

AT WHICH POINT, YOU CASUALLY LEAN ON THE CORNER OF THE DESK.

OK?

OK, NOW COME HERE.

NOW, JUST TRY-- TRY AND RELAX, OK?

HEY! WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?

KENNY, CONFERENCE ROOM.

WHAT, YOU'RE MAKING A MOVIE HERE?

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.

QUIET, PLEASE.

UH, HE'S NOT ON THE MARK.

HEY, REBECCA.

NEVER MIND HER.

LOOK AT ME.

THE COP THAT TOOK A BULLET ON HANOVER LAST WEEK,

BOBBY THINKS YOU MIGHT HAVE A CLUE AS TO WHO SHOT HIM.

FIRST OF ALL, WHY WOULD I KNOW?

'CAUSE YOU KNOW EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON IN THE NORTH END.

AND SECOND, DO I LOOK LIKE A SNITCH, OR IS IT SOMETHING--

BOBBY'S GOT ONE IN THE FAVOR BANK. HE'S CALLING THE CHIP.

THE CHIP? THE CHIP?

LOOK, IN 2 WEEKS, I START A 6-MONTH PRISON TERM,

THANKS TO YOU.

YOU WANNA SEE MY CHIP?

YOU'RE ANONYMOUS. YOUR NAME WILL NEVER BE MENTIONED.

IF I HAD ANYTHING TO SHOP, DON'T YOU THINK I'D BE SHOPPING IT?

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T CARE.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE FAVOR YOU OWE IS ALL ABOUT.

ALL I DO KNOW IS BOBBY SAID FOR ME TO TELL YOU HE'S CALLING IN THE FAVOR.

HE NEEDS A NAME, A LEAD, OR ANY INFORMATION

THE POLICE WOULD BE GLAD TO GET.

BOBBY MIGHT NEED TO TRADE SOMETHING IN.

AND HE THINKS YOU'RE THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN GET IT.

AND AS LONG AS I'VE KNOWN BOBBY,

I'VE NEVER HEARD HIM SO DEAD SERIOUS.

GET TO WORK, KENNY.

GO!

WE NEVER AUTHORIZED ANY EXORCISM.

I KNOW THAT. I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO SAY THAT.

WHAT ARE YOU ASKING?

THAT YOU BACK FATHER MARTIN,

THAT YOU CONFIRM THAT HE CAME TO YOU FOR PERMISSION,

THAT HE'S A RESPECTED AND RESPECTABLE PRIEST.

FIRST OF ALL, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH PROHIBITS EXORCISMS ON MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE.

I KNOW THAT. I'M ASKING--

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ASKING, COUNSEL.

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR COVER,

AND I'M HERE TO TELL YOU

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIND IT HERE.

NOW, AS FAR AS WE'RE CONCERNED

AND ON THE RECORD,

MAYBE HE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

NOW WHO'S LOOKING FOR COVER?

MR. DONNELL, CERTAINLY YOU CAN APPRECIATE OUR POSITION.

IF WE IN ANY WAY ENDORSE FATHER MARTIN,

WE EXPOSE OURSELVES TO ENORMOUS LIABILITY.

I'M TRYING TO HELP INSULATE YOU BY--

DON'T INSULT OUR INTELLIGENCE, PLEASE.

YOUR ONLY MISSION HERE IS WIGGLING YOUR CLIENT OFF A HOOK.

SAME AS YOUR MISSION, COUNSEL.

IT'S JUST DIFFERENT CLIENTS AND DIFFERENT HOOKS.

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT'S GONNA GO DOWN IF YOU DON'T BACK ME.

DON'T TURN AWAY!

I'M SAYING THIS ONCE.

IT'S FATHER MARTIN'S BELIEF THE ARCHBISHOP HAD REASON TO KNOW

HE WAS GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY, EVEN WITHOUT PERMISSION.

THAT ISN'T TRUE.

YOUR WORD, HIS WORD, QUESTION FOR A JURY.

IF YOU HAD ANY HINT, YOU COULD BE NEGLIGENT FOR FAILING TO SUPERVISE.

OH! GET A LAW DEGREE.

A WOMAN DIED HERE!

AND THERE IS ONLY ONE DEEP POCKET, AND THAT IS THE CHURCH.

AT THIS MOMENT, WE HAVE A VERY SMALL WINDOW.

THE CASE COULD GET CLOSED,

HEART ATTACK OR A WIDER INVESTIGATION COULD ENSUE,

A CHARGE COULD FILE.

ONCE THAT HAPPENS, PANDORA'S GOT WINGS.

WE WILL NOT SUPPORT HIS DOING THAT EXORCISM.

DON'T! BUT WHEN A DETECTIVE CALLS,

I NEED YOU TO VOUCH FOR FATHER MARTIN.

IF YOU HANG HIM OUT, IT'S A FREE-FOR-ALL.

YOU'RE EXTORTING US.

LOOK...

LOOK, YOU KNOW FATHER MARTIN WELL.

DO YOU THINK HE WOULD'VE HURT THIS WOMAN INTENTIONALLY?

NO.

WELL, THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING YOU TO SAY,

JUST DO IT EMPHATICALLY.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO EXTORT THE TRUTH OUT OF YOU.

AND LET'S ALL FACE IT. IF HE GETS CHARGED,

IT IS BAD FOR THE CHURCH.

ROGUE OR NOT, HE IS STILL ONE OF YOURS.

I NEED TO TALK THIS OVER WITH MY CLIENT.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING, HALF-HOUR.

M, LITTLE C, K-R-E-W.

HE'S IN THE HOMICIDE DIVISION. TRY FOR 3:30.

AND WHAT IF HE CAN'T?

HE HAS TO. IN FACT, GET HIM ON THE LINE. I'LL TALK TO HIM.

WHEW. WHERE THE HELL IS KENNY?

WE LIT THE FIRE AS BEST WE COULD.

ANY WORD FROM THE CORONER?

NOT YET. I THINK I SHOULD JUST GO TO THE POLICE NOW.

NO, NO, NO. WE'RE NOT READY YET.

THIS FEELS LIKE SOME SORDID CONSPIRACY.

WE'RE NOT READY YET.

I HIT THAT WOMAN. MAYBE I DIDN'T CAUSE HER DEATH,

BUT I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DOING THE EXORCISM IN THE FIRST PLACE.

YOU HAVE TO TRUST ME HERE.

BOBBY, MIKE McKREW ON 3.

MIKE. HEY.

NOT BAD. HOW 'BOUT YOU?

HOW'S SUZY?

GREAT.

YEAH, YEAH. STILL LOOKING TO MEET THE FUTURE EX-MRS. DONNELL.

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.

LISTEN, MIKE, I GOT A KIND OF A SENSITIVE SITUATION

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT IN PERSON.

NO. NOTHING BAD. JUST SOME INFORMATION I THINK YOU'D WANT TO HAVE.

CAN I COME DOWN THERE THIS AFTERNOON, MAYBE 3:00, 3:30?

OH, THANKS. I APPRECIATE THAT.

I'LL SEE YOU THEN.

OK, BUDDY.

GET THE CHURCH ON THE LINE. THEIR HALF-HOUR'S UP.

JEEZ, THIS MUST BE DESPERATE.

THAT A REAL PRIEST?

WHO SHOT THAT COP?

I DON'T KNOW. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT.

WHO SHOT THAT COP?!

I SWEAR I DON'T KNOW.

TELL ME SOMETHING YOU DO KNOW. TELL ME NOW.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING DOWN HERE?

I'LL FILL YOU IN LATER. FOR NOW, IT'S JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.

YOU TRUST ME. I NEED SOMETHING IN CASE THE COPS WANT SOMETHING

IN RETURN FOR WHAT I'M ASKING OF THEM. GIVE ME SOMETHING.

TICK, TICK, TOCK.

THEY HAVE SOME DIRTY HELP IN NARCOTICS.

THEY'RE STAKING OUT DAISY'S FOLD 'N' FLUFF ON PRINCE STREET

'CAUSE SOME STUFF HAS BEEN KNOWN TO PASS WITH THE WHITER LINENS.

NOTHING'S GONNA GET FOUND AT DAISY'S.

THEIR INFORMANT TALKS OUTTA BOTH SIDES.

FIRST NAME'S WARREN. THAT'S ALL I KNOW.

YOU KNOW MORE. NO, I DON'T.

YOU DO. I DON'T.

ALL RIGHT, GO.

NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO.

ALL WE NEED NOW IS THE CHURCH.

I GOT 'EM. I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH RYERSON.

THEY'LL VOUCH FOR YOU BEING A GOOD PRIEST.

THEY'LL CONFIRM THAT YOU DID SEEK PERMISSION FIRST,

BUT THEY'LL DENY ANY KIND OF APPROVAL, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.

ALL RIGHT. SIT.

LET'S TALK ABOUT EXORCISMS.

GET JOEY BLAND IN HERE WITH HIS EQUIPMENT.

WE GOTTA GIVE YOU A POLYGRAPH.

A LIE DETECTOR?

THE POLICE WILL PROBABLY WANT TO GIVE YOU ONE.

I'D LIKE TO SAY YES, BUT I GOTTA BE SURE YOU'LL PASS.

Director: IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT.

IT IS WHEN YOU MAKE ME NERVOUS.

I JUST SAY JUST MOVE NICE AND SMOOTH,

SIT ON THE EDGE OF THE DESK AND TALK.

IT'S NOT LIKE I'M ASKING YOU TO CHEW A STICK OF GUM.

MAKEUP, BLOT HIM.

I'M GIVING YOU 3 MORE TAKES, AND THAT'S IT.

SO, NOW RELAX, DAMN IT.

YEAH, THREATEN ME. THAT HELPS ME RELAX.

OK. POSITION!

SPEED!

Man: WE HAVE SPEED.

AND ACTION!

HAVE YOU OR A LOVED ONE BEEN INJURED?

IF SO, YOU MAY HAVE RIGHTS.

MY NAME IS JAMES BERLUTI.

I'M AN ATTORNEY WHO SPECIALIZES IN HELPING PEOPLE LIKE YOU

RECEIVE THE COMPENSATION THEY DESERVE

WHEN YOU'VE BEEN VICTIMIZED BY OTHER PEOPLE'S NEGLIGENCE.

ANYBODY--UHH!

CUT.

Man: IT'S A CUT.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? THANKS.

IS THIS WHAT YOU PAGED ME FOR?

PLEASE, JUST REMOVE THE SCOPE AND GET HIM OUT OF MY OFFICE.

I AM NOT TREATING THIS MAN.

WHAT?

ARE YOU SERIOUS? MY INSURANCE COMPANY

WOULD DROP ME LIKE A STONE IF I COME NEAR HIM.

OH, DOCTOR--

NO DOCTOR WILL TOUCH HIM.

YOU HAD TO KNOW THAT, STEVE.

WHAT AM I GONNA DO? HE WON'T LET ME.

IT WOULD BE NEGLIGENCE TO LEAVE THAT IN THERE.

NOT MINE.

TAKE IT OUT.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. WITHOUT HIS CONSENT,

THAT'S CONSIDERED BATTERY.

DR. PANKIN, IF I GET MY CLIENT TO SIGN A RELEASE,

WAIVING ANY FUTURE CLAIMS--

YOU CAN'T WAIVE NEGLIGENCE. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT.

I WON'T SUE! I'M A REASONABLE MAN!

RIGHT.

YANK IT OUT.

NO! CONSENT!

NO!

WE GOT 2 LAWYERS, 2 DOCTORS,

AND A, UH...

ALUMINUM SIDING.

A BUSINESSMAN HERE,

AND WE'RE ACTUALLY FIGHTING OVER

WHAT WE'RE FIGHTING OVER?

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

EUGENE YOUNG.

DO YOU DO MEDICAL MALPRACTICE WORK, MR. YOUNG?

SOME.

SOME. WELL, I DO A LOT.

YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE I'M A DOCTOR.

AND LIKE WITH EVERY DOCTOR,

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE SUITS ARE A WAY OF LIFE.

YOU CAN GO YOUR ENTIRE CAREER WITHOUT MAKING A SINGLE MISTAKE

AND STILL EXPECT TO BE ROUTINELY SUED 5 TIMES A YEAR.

THIS ISN'T THE FORUM TO DISCUSS THAT.

THIS IS THE PERFECT FORUM.

I MEAN, LOOK AT THIS GUY.

HE'S A POSTER BOY FOR WHAT DRIVES UP MALPRACTICE PREMIUMS,

WHICH DRIVE UP HEALTHCARE COST.

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN HERE.

PLEASE DO.

MR. ALUMINUM SIDING HERE

WILL FILE HIS RIDICULOUS LAWSUIT,

AND HIS INSURANCE COMPANY WILL COME TO HIM AND ASK HIM TO SIGN OFF ON A SETTLEMENT,

BECAUSE SETTLING IS CHEAPER THAN GOING TO TRIAL.

AND IF HE SAYS TO THEM, "NO, I DON'T WANT TO SETTLE,

I DID NOTHING WRONG."

HIS INSURANCE COMPANY WILL DISCONTINUE COVERAGE.

BECAUSE ON PRINCIPLE, CARRIERS DON'T LIKE DOCTORS THAT STICK ON PRINCIPLE.

IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE.

ARE YOU DONE?

I'M DONE.

GOOD, 'CAUSE ASIDE FROM YOUR PROFOUND INSIDE COMMENTARY ON HEALTHCARE,

WHICH WE ALL ENJOYED,

WE STILL GOT A STUPID SITUATION HERE

THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN FIXED HOURS AGO.

NOW, YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE HIM AN UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE.

DOESN'T CHANGE--

QUIET! YOU ARE GOING TO AGREE TO INDEMNIFY HIM

FOR ANY NEGLIGENCE CLAIM FILED AGAINST HIM BY HIM.

AND, YOU, YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE THAT THING OUT OF THAT MAN'S ANUS,

THEN MAYBE WE CAN FIX MEDICARE.

PULL OUT YOUR LEGAL PAD, COUNSEL.

LET'S START DRAFTING.

YOU SPRINKLED HER WITH HOLY WATER?

YES.

DID YOU HIT HER?

YES.

DID YOU INTEND TO CAUSE HER PHYSICAL HARM?

NO.

Bland: ARE YOU JEWISH?

NO.

WERE YOU ATTEMPTING TO HEAL ALICE KENNEDY?

YES.

HOW'S HE DOING?

SO FAR, YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF AN HONEST PRIEST.

TROUBLE. YOU GOT A LITTLE TIP FROM THE CORONER'S OFFICE.

THERE WAS A PRETTY DECENT TRAUMA TO THE CHEST.

THEY'RE GONNA REPORT IT TO THE POLICE.

DAMN IT! THE CLOCK JUST STRUCK MIDNIGHT.

HE'LL PASS THEIR POLYGRAPH?

WITH FLYING COLORS.

LET'S GO.

WHERE?

TO THE POLICE.

I GOT TO ADMIT, YOU GOT ME CURIOUS.

WHAT'S UP?

10:00 THIS MORNING, A WOMAN NAMED ALICE KENNEDY

HAD A HEART ATTACK AND DIED AT FATHER MARTIN'S CHURCH.

ONE OF HIS PARISHIONERS.

SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

YEAH. AS FAR AS I KNOW, IT'S JUST LISTED AS A CORONARY,

BUT IT WASN'T QUITE THAT SIMPLE.

YOU'LL FIND A SLIGHT BRUISE ON HER CHEST,

AS WELL AS CHAFING MARKS ON HER HANDS AND LEGS.

AT THE TIME SHE WAS HAVING THE HEART ATTACK,

FATHER MARTIN WAS PERFORMING AN EXORCISM.

IT-IT'S KIND OF LIKE A CONFESSIONAL SEAL.

HE REALLY SHOULDN'T DIVULGE THIS INFORMATION ABOUT A PARISHIONER,

BUT HE CAME TO ME, AND I THOUGHT HE REALLY SHOULD COME TO YOU.

EXORCISM. LIKE SPINNING HEAD AND PEA SOUP?

IT DOESN'T HAPPEN LIKE THAT.

IT'S MAINLY PRAYERS, THE SIGN OF THE CROSS,

LAYING HANDS ON THE SUBJECT, HOLY WATER, THAT KIND OF THING.

THE REASON I DESCRIBED THE SITUATION AS DELICATE,

AS FATHER MARTIN BROUGHT HIS HAND DOWN ON ALICE KENNEDY'S CHEST,

THAT'S WHEN SHE WENT INTO ARREST.

HE'S AFRAID HE MAY HAVE PRECIPITATED IT.

NOTARIZE, PLEASE.

THANK YOU.

SURE.

NOW, THIS INCORPORATES BY REFERENCE

HIS RELEASE OF DR. PANKIN AND IS AN AMENDMENT FOR OUR RELEASE.

NO PROBLEM.

NO INDEMNIFICATION FOR SUPERVENING ACTS.

DON'T EVEN GO THERE.

I NEED YOU TO SIGN HERE, DOCTOR.

OK?

YES.

AND YOU NEED TO INITIAL HERE.

MR. PARKS' HEALTHCARE IS UNDER HIS COMPANY'S PLAN,

SO HE'S HERE AS PRESIDENT OF ALUMINATED DREAM SIDING.

HE'S NOT PERSONALLY EXPOSED.

WHAT?

NO. WE'LL INITIAL THAT,

BUT I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO PIERCE THE CORPORATE VEIL.

FINE! LET'S DO IT.

THIS WOMAN WANTED AN EXORCISM?

SHE BEGGED ME FOR IT.

HERE IS THE PHONE NUMBER OF DR. BARRY JACOB,

HER TREATING PSYCHIATRIST.

HE'LL CONFIRM THE WOMAN'S SCHIZOPHRENIA,

AS WELL AS HER BELIEF THAT SHE WAS THE VICTIM OF SOME DEMONIC POSSESSION.

HERE YOU'LL FIND THE PHONE NUMBER OF ARCHBISHOP JOHN MAZONEY,

WHO FATHER MARTIN WENT TO FOR PERMISSION TO DO THE EXORCISM.

THAT'S PURSUANT TO CANON LAW.

IT SHOULD BE POINTED OUT PERMISSION WAS DENIED.

YOU DIDN'T GET PERMISSION FROM THE CHURCH?

NO. ARCHBISHOP MAZONEY WASN'T CONVINCED OF POSSESSION.

HE THOUGHT IT WAS PROBABLY MENTAL ILLNESS OF SOME SORT.

I MUST CONFESS, HE WAS PROBABLY RIGHT.

THEN WHY'D YOU DO IT?

I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE OF SOME BENEFIT, AS A PLACEBO.

SHE WAS DESPERATE, DETECTIVE.

BLOT HIM AGAIN. HIS HEAD LOOKS LIKE THE VALDEZ.

I THOUGHT THE TALENT IS SUPPOSED TO GET CODDLED IN THIS BUSINESS.

TALENT? YOU FELL OFF A DESK.

I NEVER MADE CONTACT.

WE NEED THIS OFFICE BACK, JIMMY.

I'M NOT DONE. I WANT TO GET IT RIGHT.

HOW DO YOU GET ONE OF THESE THINGS RIGHT?

HEY, LINDSAY, DO ME A FAVOR.

LET ME DO WHAT I WANT TO DO. OK? IT DOESN'T AFFECT YOU.

IT DOES AFFECT ME.

DOING A COMMERCIAL, IT EMBARRASSES THIS PLACE.

WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

DON'T SWEAT.

I'LL SWEAT IF I WANT TO.

NOT EVERYBODY WENT TO HARVARD.

NOT EVERYBODY GETS TO GET A LAWYER WHO WENT TO HARVARD.

THERE'S LITTLE PEOPLE OUT THERE:

HACKS WITH SMALL CLAIMS THE SIZE OF A BLACKHEAD

YOU'D GO RUNNING TO YOUR DERMATOLOGIST TO HAVE REMOVED.

NICKEL-AND-DIME PEOPLE LOOKING FOR NICKEL-AND-DIME LAWYERS.

I'M HAPPY FOR YOU THAT YOU DON'T FIT INTO THAT CATEGORY.

I DO.

AND I'M SELLING WHAT I GOT TO SELL.

FORGIVE ME FOR EMBARRASSING YOU.

CAN WE DO ONE MORE TAKE, PLEASE?

WHEN I'M READY.

NO, NO. YOU'RE READY NOW.

I GOT A GREAT IDEA.

YOU, OUT OF HERE. EXCUSE ME.

MAKEUP, BLOT HIM QUICKLY. LET'S GO. OK.

I'LL BE JUST A MINUTE.

BOBBY, WHY DID HE REMOVE THE STRAPS FROM THE ROOM?

HE WAS SCARED AT FIRST.

LOOK, MIKE, HE'S THE ONE WHO WANTED TO COME FORWARD HERE.

HE'S BEEN MY PRIEST ALMOST MY WHOLE LIFE.

STILL, IF HIS HITTING HER CAUSED THE HEART ATTACK,

WE GOT TO PURSUE THIS. YOU KNOW THAT.

CALL THE SHRINK. CALL THE ARCHBISHOP.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

GIVE HIM A POLYGRAPH IF IT'LL GIVE YOU PEACE OF MIND.

THIS IS JUST AN UNFORTUNATE RESULT.

THERE WAS NOTHING CRIMINAL HERE.

YOUR INVESTIGATION'S GONNA SHOW THAT.

SO WHY THE BIG PUSH?

I DON'T WANT YOU TO FILE A CHARGE AND THEN INVESTIGATE.

I WANT YOU TO CHECK THINGS OUT FIRST,

'CAUSE I KNOW THEN NO CHARGE WOULD EVER BE FILED.

MIKE...

I NEED A FAVOR HERE, MAN.

THIS GUY, HE'S DEAR TO ME.

IT, UH...

A SCANDAL WOULD JUST COST HIM HIS PARISH.

I JUST WANT TO PUT THIS TO BED

SO THE MEDIA DOESN'T START HAVING ITS FUN.

I DO WANT TO DO A POLYGRAPH.

NO PROBLEM.

WAIT A MINUTE.

AS FOR FAVORS,

WHAT DO YOU GOT FOR ME?

YOU GOT SOME STINK IN NARCOTICS.

SNITCH NAMED WARREN'S TIPPING OFF

SOME FOLD 'N' FLUFF YOU'RE STAKING OUT FOR MOVING COKE.

YOU NEVER HEARD IT FROM ME.

LET'S GO DO THE POLYGRAPH.

FROM YOUR FALL?

I'LL LIVE.

JIMMY, I'M SORRY.

BOBBY SAYS I GOT THIS COMPLEX

THAT I WANT TO BE THE LAW FIRM ACROSS THE STREET.

I REALLY AM SORRY FOR SAYING WHAT I SAID.

YOU CARRY YOUR WEIGHT HERE, LINDSAY.

SO FAR I DON'T.

I JUST WANT TO BRING SOMETHING TO THE TABLE. THAT'S ALL.

I KNOW.

Director: OK. I NEED QUIET ON THE SET.

Man: WE'RE BACK. LET'S GO.

POSITION!

I THOUGHT THESE THINGS ONLY TOOK A MINUTE.

MAYBE HE FOUND SOMETHING MALIGNANT.

AGAIN, AS A FREE LEGAL TIP--

HE WAS A REAL TROUPER.

I'LL SEND YOU A BILL.

HEY, DOC, ONE THING.

I'LL TAKE THE HIT.

ON PATIENTS WHO SUE OVER NOTHING

AND THE LAWYERS WHO TAKE THEIR CASES, I'LL OWN THE HIT.

BUT IF DOCTORS ARE LETTING INSURANCE COMPANIES RUN MEDICINE,

IT SEEMS TO ME DOCTORS GOTTA OWN A LITTLE BLAME, TOO.

YOU JUST DON'T GET IT, COUNSEL.

MEDICINE USED TO BE RUN BY BUSINESS.

NOW MEDICINE IS A BUSINESS.

I FEEL LIKE A NEW MAN.

I'LL SEE YOU IN COURT, GROUNDHOG.

MR. YOUNG.

YOU DIDN'T HANDLE THIS VERY WELL.

I FELT YOU TWIST IT.

HMM.

YOU'RE OK.

YOU PASSED THEIR POLYGRAPH.

'LESS SOMETHING COMES UP, WHICH THEY DON'T EXPECT,

NOTHING'S GETTING FILED.

CAUSE OF DEATH LISTED AS HEART ATTACK. PERIOD.

OH, THANK GOD FOR THAT.

THE CHEST BRUISE WAS MINIMAL, THEY TALKED TO THE ARCHBISHOP,

HER DOCTOR, AND HER SISTER, WHO ALSO CONFIRMED SHE WAS BEGGING YOU FOR HELP.

YOU'RE OK.

GOOD.

GOOD.

WHAT'S WRONG?

IT'S BEEN QUITE A DAY.

A PARISHIONER OF MINE DIED.

EVERYTHING'S BEEN SPINNING SO FAST.

I GUESS I'M JUST A LITTLE OVERWHELMED BY IT ALL.

IS THAT IT? ANYTHING ELSE?

THAT'S ALL.

Berluti: I GOT IT. RIGHT HERE.

ROUGH CUT. CAN I USE YOUR TV?

SHE SAYS IT CAME OUT GOOD.

30 SECONDS, IT GOES QUICK.

LET ME SPARE THE FATHER.

COME ON, I'LL WALK YOU OUT.

WE'LL WAIT.

THANK YOU.

BOBBY.

HEY, EUGENE. WHERE YOU BEEN ALL DAY?

DOCTOR'S OFFICE. HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

BUSY.

UH-HUH.

THANK YOU.

AGAIN.

WHAT'S WRONG?

DON'T MISUNDERSTAND.

WITHOUT YOU, I COULD BE FACING MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES.

I WOULD'VE LOST MY PARISH FOR SURE.

AND PROBABLY MY LIFE.

BUT?

BUT WHAT WE DID TODAY WAS A PERVERSION.

WHEN YOU SAID "CHEST COMPRESSIONS" TO THAT POLICE OFFICER,

NO, IT WASN'T A MISTAKE, BOBBY.

IT WAS A POSSIBLE ACCOUNT FOR THE BRUISE.

IT WAS A FALSE ACCOUNT.

I WENT INTO A MORGUE UNDER THE PRETEXT OF PRAYER

SO YOU COULD GET A QUICK LOOK AT THE BODY.

AND YOU EXTORTED THE ARCHBISHOP

AS WELL AS ALICE'S PSYCHIATRIST AND ONE OF YOUR OWN CLIENTS.

I HIT A WOMAN HARDER THAN I SHOULD HAVE

WHILE PERFORMING A TOTALLY UNAUTHORIZED EXORCISM.

NOW, THE ONLY REASON I'M DODGING THE BULLET

IS BECAUSE YOU KNOW HOW TO MANIPULATE THE SYSTEM...

IF NOT THE TRUTH.

AND I HELPED.

NOTHING I DID TODAY WAS UNETHICAL...

UNDER THE PRACTICE OF LAW.

I KNOW THAT.

IT'S JUST THAT I'M TROUBLED BY THE WHOLE THING.

I'VE KNOWN YOU YOUR WHOLE LIFE, BOBBY. I'M YOUR PRIEST.

WATCHING YOU WORK TODAY, I COULDN'T HELP BUT THINK

THAT YOU'RE A MAN WHO'S OBVIOUSLY SUCCESSFUL AT WHAT HE DOES.

AND I'M A MAN WHO OBVIOUSLY ISN'T.

NO. I DON'T MEAN TO DENY MY UTTER GRATITUDE.

IT...

I DON'T QUESTION WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR ME.

I DO QUESTION WHAT I HAVE DONE FOR YOU.

YOU KNOW ME?

YOU SHOULDN'T, NO REASON TO.

I'M JUST A DOWN-IN-THE-TRENCHES LAWYER

WHO DOES CASES THAT'LL NEVER BE IN THE NEWSPAPERS,

UNEXCITING STUFF, EXCEPT TO THE PEOPLE INVOLVED...

'CAUSE THEIR INJURIES ARE REAL.

AND THE MONEY I GET THEM IS REAL.

SOMEBODY BANG INTO YOUR CAR LATELY?

HAS A LADDER FALLEN ON YOUR HEAD?

YOU STEP INTO A POTHOLE?

GO TO A BIG LAW FIRM AND SEE HOW MUCH THEY CARE,

THEN COME TO ME.

THINK NOBODY'LL FIGHT FOR YOU, YOU'RE JUST A GRUNT?

I'M A GRUNT.

THERE'S A LAWYER OUT THERE FOR YOU.

IT'S ME.

JUST DIAL THE NUMBER...

AND ASK FOR JIMMY.

I'LL GET YOU MONEY.

WHAT DO--WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IT--IT'S STILL A LITTLE ROUGH.

IT'S GOT TO RESONATE A LITTLE.

YOU STINKER!
