HOW'S IT GOING?

I'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A HEADACHE, ACTUALLY.

WELL, SHOULDN'T GUYS WITH ANEURYSMS

GENERALLY TRY TO AVOID HEADACHES?

ONLY GUYS WITH BRAIN ANEURYSMS.

YEAH, YOU HAVE A BRAIN ANEURYSM.

THAT'S A GOOD POINT.

MORNING. MORNING.

RED, RED WINE

I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE STAIRS.

STAY CLOSE TO ME

DON'T LET ME BE ALONE

IT'S TEARING APART

MY BLUE, BLUE HEART

RED, RED WINE WILL MAKE YOU FEEL SO FINE

YOU KEEP ME ROCKIN' ALL OF THE TIME

RED, RED WINE WILL MAKE YOU FEEL SO FINE

ELI. ELI?

OH, THANK GOD.

THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A VISION.

SO THANK GOD YOU'RE ONLY LYING IN THE HOSPITAL

RECOVERING FROM UNCONTROLLABLE BLEEDING?

IT WAS '70s MUSIC. LAST THING I REMEMBER,

I WAS BEGGING YOU NOT TO HATE ME. WHILE BLEEDING FROM YOUR NOSE.

IT'S A NICE TRUMP CARD. YOU'RE THAT IMPORTANT TO ME.

YOU BOTH ARE. I'VE BEEN A JERK.

AND IT'S HAD SOME CONSEQUENCES.

YOUR M.R.I. REVEALED ANOTHER ANEURYSM, ELI,

A SECOND ANEURYSM

RIGHT AT THE BASE OF YOUR BRAIN.

DID I, UH, MAKE THIS HAPPEN?

NO, I-IT'S SOMEWHAT COMMON, ACTUALLY.

PEOPLE WITH ANEURYSMS HAVE A 20% CHANCE--

NO, I-I WAS ASKING FRANK. A-ALL THAT NURHACHI

AND ALL THOSE VISITS TO DR. LEE

WOULD CAUSE THIS? NERVE HOCKEY? WHAT? WHO? WHO--WHO IS DR. LEE?

SHE'S AN ACUPUNCTURIST.

WHAT SHE DOES IS NOT ACUPUNCTURE.

BUT WE'RE DONE WITH ALL THAT, RIGHT, ELI?

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, LISTEN TO THIS ONE--

"SPOIL YOURSELF AT OUR OASIS IN THE DESERT

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT." I DO DESERVE IT.

"2-NIGHT STAY INCLUDES A MUD BATH,

"A WARM OIL WATSU MASSAGE

AND A CRANIOSACRAL SPA TREATMENT." SOUNDS INVASIVE.

UGH. THEY'RE TRAINED IN SWITZERLAND, MATT.

HOW MUCH?

OHH.

FOR THE LAST SIX WEEKS, IT'S BEEN ALL BABY, ALL THE TIME,

UNLESS IT'S BEEN ALL WORK, ALL THE TIME.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

SO WHAT IF THE LITTLE GUY CAN'T AFFORD COLLEGE.

WE'LL HOMESCHOOL. DO IT.

I FEEL MORE RELAXED ALREADY.

HUH.

THE RUSSELL vs. BAY WEST MEDIA SETTLEMENT JUST FELL APART.

THIS IS HUGE. I SHOULD GET TO THE OFFICE.

OKAY. WHATEVER RUSSELL vs. BAY WEST MEDIA IS,

IT BETTER NOT INTERFERE WITH OUR VACATION.

SWISS MASSAGES, MATT.

RUSSELL vs. BAY WEST MEDIA.

WE ARE DELAYING THE SETTLEMENT MEETING.

ELI, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

FEELING A LITTLE UNDER THE WEATHER.

NOTHING LIFE-THREATENING BRAIN SURGERY WON'T CURE.

I'M KIDDING. WHY ARE WE STALLING ON THE SETTLEMENT?

I MEAN, I JUST SPENT A MONTH CONVINCING SAM THAT HE WASN'T

GONNA PROVE WRONGFUL TERMINATION WITHOUT A WHISTLE-BLOWER.

WE MAY HAVE FOUND THAT WHISTLE-BLOWER. SORRY I'M LATE. WHAT DID I MISS?

WHAT'S THE POINT OF CALLING AN EMERGENCY STAFF MEETING

IF THE STAFF DOESN'T TREAT IT LIKE AN EMERGENCY? I SAID I WAS SORRY.

WE MAY HAVE GOTTEN A BREAK ON THE SAM RUSSELL CASE.

SAM RUSSELL AS IN RUSSELL vs. BAY WEST MEDIA?

YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT RUSSELL LOST HIS GIG

ANCHORING THE EVENING NEWS? WELL, THAT'S KIND OF

WHAT THE SUIT IS ABOUT. AND THIS IS GOING TO TRIAL THIS WEEK?

THAT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT THIS WITNESS HAS TO SAY.

HER NAME IS JESSE BATES, RUSSELL'S FORMER NEWS PRODUCER.

SHE'S BEEN M.I.A. FOR MONTHS. WE'VE BEEN BANKING ON THE IDEA

THAT RUSSELL WOULDN'T GO TO TRIAL WITHOUT HER TESTIMONY. AND NOW THAT SHE'S RESURFACED,

SO HAVE RUSSELL'S COURTROOM AMBITIONS. BAY WEST WANTS THE TWO OF YOU

TO TALK TO HER, FIND OUT WHAT, IF ANYTHING, SHE KNOWS. WE'LL SIT HER DOWN THIS AFTERNOON. NOT A PROBLEM.

LITTLE PROBLEM. SHE RESURFACED WHEN HER NAME POPPED UP

IN A PUBLIC RECORD SEARCH.

SHE'S, UH, WARMING THE INSIDE OF A JAIL CELL AS WE SPEAK. WHAT DID SHE DO?

ASK HER YOURSELF WHEN YOU SEE HER TOMORROW.

THE TWO OF YOU LEAVE FOR SONOMA IN THE MORNING. UH, SONOMA? UH, SORRY, NO.

I'VE GOT A GETAWAY PLANNED STARTING TOMORROW. CANCEL IT.

AND EVEN IF I DIDN'T, NOT A BIG FAN OF SONOMA. YOU DON'T WANT TO GO TO SONOMA, MATT? THAT'S FINE.

TELL YOU WHAT. WE'LL JUST WAIT FOR RUSSELL'S ATTORNEYS

TO GO UP THERE, SPEAK WITH HER, AND WE'LL FIND OUT FROM THEM.

IT'S A RACE TO SONOMA.

WORST REALITY SHOW EVER.

I WAS, UH, WONDERING IF YOU GOT MY MESSAGES.

AND YOUR E-MAILS. I'M NOT GOING TO THE ZOO BENEFIT WITH YOU.

I MEAN, YOU DIDN'T REALLY THINK I WOULD, DID YOU?

WE'RE A NEW FIRM, TAYLOR. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT

WE ESTABLISH A PRESENCE AT EVENTS LIKE THIS ONE.

AND SINCE ELLEN AND I... WELL, I NEED A DATE,

AND I THOUGHT WE COULD TALK. DAD, I'M NOT READY TO TALK.

I-I TOLD YOU I NEED TIME.

UM, I WAS JUST SENDING YOU AN E-MAIL.

BUT SINCE YOU'RE HERE... I WANT IN ON THE RUSSELL CASE.

A NEWFOUND APPRECIATION FOR EMPLOYMENT LAW?

A NEWFOUND APPRECIATION FOR SONOMA VALLEY.

MATT AND I WERE PLANNING A GETAWAY,

AND... I'M GETTING AWAY.

WELL, I'M SURE ELI COULD USE THE HELP.

WHAT HELP COULD ELI USE?

I'M GOING TO SONOMA WITH YOU. GREAT!

I'LL PICK YOU UP AT YOUR PLACE 30 A.M. SHARP.

AND "SHARP" MEANS SHARP, ELI.

IF YOU'RE NOT STANDING OUT FRONT, I WILL LEAVE WITHOUT YOU.

DARLIN', I'VE BEEN WAITIN'

WHILE YOU'VE GONE AND DONE YOU'RE CHANGIN'

ROAD TRIP. WE'RE ALL GOING TOGETHER. YAY!

YOU DON'T GET CARSICK, DO YOU? TAYLOR?

WE'RE GOING TO THE SAME PLACE, LOOKING FOR THE SAME PERSON.

WE'RE GOING TOGETHER. IT MAKES SENSE. ONLY IF YOU IGNORE THE FACT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO BEAT THEM.

COME ON. WE'RE SAVING GAS. THINK ABOUT THE WORLD FOR A CHANGE.

YOU'RE OPPOSING COUNSEL. TAYLOR, TELL ME YOU UNDERSTAND

THAT THERE IS AN ADVANTAGE TO GETTING TO THE WITNESS FIRST. IF THIS WITNESS HAS ANYTHING IMPORTANT TO SAY,

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO DISCLOSE IT ANYWAY. IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU DON'T GET IN THIS CAR

IN THE NEXT 30 SECONDS, I WILL LEAVE YOU IN THE DUST. SHE MEANS IT, TOO.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE FURY OF A WOMAN

DENIED A ROMANTIC GETAWAY WITH ME. HEY! SORRY I'M LATE.

AND THE BAND'S BACK TOGETHER. SHOTGUN.

WISH I HAD ONE. SHOTGUN DENIED. YOU'RE IN THE BACK WITH STONE.

I BROUGHT GORP. IN THE BACK.

THIS IS CRAZY. THAT'S WHAT I SAID, BUT I WAS OVERRULED.

CLOCK'S TICKIN', ELI. YOU COMING OR NOT?

WON'T YOU COME HOME? WON'T YOU COME HOME?

YOU KNOW, I BET THAT WE COULD FIND

A VERY ROMANTIC B&B OUTSIDE OF SONOMA,

LIKE NAPA OR SANTA ROSA... MEXICO...

ALL RIGHT, WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH YOU AND SONOMA?

NOTHING. NOTHING. IT'S GONNA BE GREAT.

VERY RELAXING.

OKAY, WE'RE GONNA NEED SOME GROUND RULES HERE.

OKAY, TRAVELING TOGETHER IS ONE THING.

BUT ONCE WE HIT SONOMA, EACH TEAM IS ON THEIR OWN.

NO COLLABORATING WITH THE ENEMY. FINE, AS LONG AS A COUPLES MASSAGE

DOESN'T COUNT AS COLLABORATION. YOU KNOW, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SAY THIS,

BUT WOULD YOU PASS THE GORP? NOT UNTIL YOU APOLOGIZE.

EXCUSE ME? YOU ACCUSED ME OF SABOTAGING YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

WITH OTHER WOMEN. OKAY, FIRST OF ALL, IT WAS JUST ONE WOMAN.

AND IN MY DEFENSE, I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT DOING SO

WOULD DEPRIVE ME OF GORP. OH.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

I APOLOGIZE.

TURNS OUT I WAS ABLE TO SABOTAGE EVERYTHING ALL BY MYSELF.

EAT YOUR GORP.

OH, I'M NEVER FAR AWAY FROM YOU

JUST LIKE BROTHER.

BOTH HAVE NEVER-MAKE-APPOINTMENT GENE.

SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY.

WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH ELI YESTERDAY?

YOU'RE THE ONE

WITH THE REAL MEDICAL DEGREE, DUDE.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW, THEN WE'RE IN REAL TROUBLE. EH, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

WHAT DID ELI MEAN WHEN HE SAID THAT YOU SAW THIS COMING? IT'S NOT IMPORTANT, NATE.

WELL, IT SEEMED PRETTY IMPORTANT TO ELI.

AND EVEN IF IT WASN'T, YOU CAN BET THAT MY BROTHER

SEEING ANOTHER DOCTOR IS GONNA GET MY ATTENTION. DR. LEE?

DR. LEE USED TO BE A DECENT ACUPUNCTURIST.

IT'S BEEN A BONE OF CONTENTION BETWEEN US,

BUT IT'S BETWEEN US. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, I CAN RESPECT THAT.

THANK YOU. WELL, I JUST--I WONDER HOW ELI'S GONNA REACT

WHEN HE FINDS OUT THAT YOU KEPT A COPY OF MY DAD'S JOURNAL,

AND YOU--YOU DIDN'T TELL HIM.

IF YOU TELL ELI ABOUT THE BOOK,

YOU'LL BE HURTING HIM MORE THAN ME.

AND I DON'T THINK YOU'D DO THAT, NATE.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ANYBODY WITH THAT PHONY ACCENT.

AND YOU ARE STAYING IN OUR MERLOT SUITE.

ALL THE ROOMS ARE NAMED AFTER WINES.

I'LL JUST NEED A DEPOSIT FROM YOU OR MR. DUNLEAVY.

DUNLEAVY? "STANISLAUS DUNLEAVY"?

THAT'S MY TRAVEL NAME. BONO DOES THE SAME THING.

THANK YOU. THANKS.

WHY ARE YOU HOLDING THE CAR KEYS?

TAYLOR ASKED ME TO.

NO, SHE DIDN'T. YOU JUST TOOK THEM.

YOU'RE GONNA DITCH US, AREN'T YOU? SOMEONE'S A LITTLE PARANOID. CAN YOU TELL ME THE WAY

TO THE SHERIFF'S STATION, PLEASE?

OH, YES, SIR. THE SHERIFF'S STATION IS

IN THE TOWN PLAZA, RIGHT DOWN FIRST STREET. YOU CAN'T MISS IT. THANK YOU.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING? SHERIFF'S STATION,

WHERE OUR WITNESS IS BEING HELD, WITH YOU. I'M SORRY.

IT WOULD BE A VIOLATION OF PROFESSIONAL ETHICS FOR ME

TO DRIVE OPPOSING COUNSEL IN MY CAR. IT'S NOT YOUR CAR.

WELL, FOR THE TIME BEING, THEY'RE MY KEYS, SO...

SHE'S GONNA NEED THE NUMBER OF A TAXI SERVICE.

GUESS I WASN'T SO PARANOID AFTER ALL!

YOU KNOW, YOU SEEM TENSE LATELY.

MAYBE WATER YOGA IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED.

I SAY WE GO TALK TO THIS WITNESS AND GET THE HELL OUT OF...

HEY, LOOK, ANTIQUES. YOU SEE THIS?

MATT?

MATT DOWD?

WH-- HEY!

IT IS YOU.

WHAT'S IT BEEN, TEN YEARS?

UH, LEIGH RAPPAPORT, TAYLOR WETHERSBY. HI. NICE TO MEET YOU.

UH, LEIGH AND I WENT TO LAW SCHOOL TOGETHER.

OH. "WENT TO LAW SCHOOL TOGETHER"?

REALLY? IS THAT HOW WE'RE FRAMING IT?

WELL, WE DID. OH. WE DATED.

WOW. WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN SONOMA?

OH, QUICK BUSINESS TRIP, YOU KNOW. IN AND OUT.

UH, LISTEN, I HAVE TO GET BACK TO WORK,

BUT IT'S BEEN NICE SEEING YOU AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT, LEIGH. OKAY.

SO SHE'S THE REASON

YOU'VE BEEN SO AFRAID TO STEP FOOT IN SONOMA, HUH? YEAH, I KNOW. IT'S CRAZY, RIGHT?

SHE SEEMED PERFECTLY HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING... WITH ME.

UH-HUH. WHY WOULDN'T SHE BE?

YOU KNOW, UH... WHEN TWO PEOPLE BREAK UP,

EVEN THOUGH NOBODY DID ANYTHING WRONG,

YOU KNOW, EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THERE'S HARD FEELINGS.

I FEEL SO RELIEVED. I LOVE SONOMA!

"JESSE BATES"? ARE YOU HER LAWYER? IS SHE HERE?

I ASKED YOU FIRST.

DON'T LET HIM IN! HE STOLE A CAR.

WELL, THAT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT FORM.

MAGGIE DEKKER, ATTORNEY. IT'S NOT EVEN HER CAR.

SO WHOSE CAR DID YOU STEAL? I DIDN'T STEAL ANYONE'S CAR.

WE HAD AN AGREEMENT, ELI. NO, WE DIDN'T.

IT WAS AN IMPLIED COVENANT. HERE THEY ARE, AND THEY'RE ARGUING. YOU OWE ME 5 BUCKS.

DID HE OR DID HE NOT STEAL A CAR? YOU MEAN MY CAR? NO, I GAVE HIM THE CAR.

OFFICER, I'M AN ATTORNEY.

SO AM I. ME, TOO.

YOU KNOW WHAT? I JUST LOST INTEREST.

SOMEONE WANT TO PUT JESSE BATES IN THE VISITORS' ROOM

BEFORE I SHOOT A WHOLE GAGGLE OF LAWYERS?

COMING IN NOW. TELL ME WHEN YOU'RE DONE.

I HOPE NO ONE IN THE BAY AREA NEEDS A LAWYER THIS AFTERNOON.

JUST FOR THE RECORD, YOU ARE THE JESSE BATES

WHO WAS SAM RUSSELL'S NEWS PRODUCER

WHEN KNIB FIRED HIM? NO, BUT SHE WAS WHEN SAM RUSSELL QUIT.

MISS BATES, WITHOUT A SUBPOENA, YOU'RE UNDER NO OBLIGATION

TO TALK TO... HIM. NICE TRY. SINCE WE REPRESENT BAY WEST MEDIA,

I'D BE HAPPY TO EXTEND OUR SERVICES TO YOU

AS A FORMER EMPLOYEE. WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I NEED AN ATTORNEY?

OTHER THAN THE HANDCUFFS AND THE JAIL, I MEAN. WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?

AFTER I LEFT TELEVISION, I CAME UP HERE, STARTED OVER.

I OPENED AN ART GALLERY. TWO WEEKS AGO,

A LOCAL COUPLE ASKED ME TO SELL A PAINTING FOR THEM--A MOREAU.

AND THAT'S ILLEGAL NOW? IT IS WHEN IT WAS STOLEN BY THE NAZIS 75 YEARS AGO.

EVEN IF IT WAS, WHY WOULD THAT LAND YOU IN JAIL?

IT DIDN'T. I THINK IT WAS MY REFUSAL TO RETURN THE PAINTING

TO THE SELLERS THAT GOT ME IN TROUBLE. WHERE'S THE PAINTING NOW?

TURNS OUT THAT THE POLICE ARE HAVING

A LITTLE DIFFICULTY LOCATING IT. THIS IS FASCINATING, BUT IT'S A LITTLE OFF THE TOPIC.

ACTUALLY, COUNSELOR, IT'S SITTING RIGHT ON THE TOPIC.

ANY ATTORNEYS GOOD ENOUGH TO REPRESENT

THE LIKES OF SAM RUSSELL AND BAY WEST MEDIA

HAVE GOTTA BE BETTER THAN WHATEVER PUBLIC DEFENDER

A LITTLE TOWN LIKE SONOMA HAS TO OFFER. NO, WE--WE'RE NOT CRIMINAL ATTORNEYS, SO...

I THINK IT WOULD BE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST

FOR US TO REPRESENT YOU. LOOK, I THINK YOU'LL FIND THAT I'VE GOT A CASE OF AMNESIA

FOR AS LONG AS I'M INCARCERATED.

YOU WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT I KNOW? YOU GET ME OUT OF JAIL.

THINK THE FOUR OF YOU CAN GET ALONG LONG ENOUGH TO DO THAT?

VERY SIMPLE.

WE GET IT KICKED ON A FOURTH AMENDMENT VIOLATION.

SHE'S BEING DETAINED UNLAWFULLY. WE HAVE HER OUT BY NOON. THAT WON'T WORK.

SHE'S BEING HELD ON A CIVIL CONTEMPT CHARGE.

SHE DIDN'T COMPLY WITH THE JUDGE'S ORDER-- A JUDGE SHE HASN'T SEEN IN OVER 48 HOURS. FOURTH AMENDMENT.

SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS, YOU'RE JUST AS WRONG AS MATT? YOU WANT TO REPEAT THAT?

MAYBE TRY TO BE EVEN MORE CONDESCENDING. TOGETHER AGAIN, JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.

WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE, ANYWAY? I AM.

SON OF A BITCH. THAT WAS THE SPA.

THEY'RE CLOSED TILL THE END OF THE WEEK. SORRY, HONEY.

WHAT DID I MISS? ELI TRYING TO COME UP WITH DIFFERENT WAYS

TO KEEP OUR CLIENT IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE.

OOH, I JUST THOUGHT OF A NEW ONE--YOU TRY THE CASE YOURSELF. AS TERRIFYING AS THAT PROSPECT IS, WE DO NEED A FIRST CHAIR.

AND SINCE I SEEM TO HAVE THE FIRMEST GRIP

ON THE ISSUES HERE-- OH, PLEASE. WHY DON'T WE JUST COMPARE...

IF YOU BOTHERED TO NOTICE... RECENT TRACK RECORDS-- WINS, LOSSES...

THE CLIENT ACTUALLY HAS A RAPPORT WITH ME. ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS. THE THREE OF YOU.

ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS FOR LEAD COUNSEL. ON THREE.

ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, SHOOT!

ADMIT IT, ELI. I AM UNDEFEATED IN ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS.

YOU'D THINK WITH A NAME LIKE STONE

YOU'D PLAY ROCK MORE OFTEN. WHAT'S THE DEAL, JESSE? YOU FIND A COUPON?

FOUR LAWYERS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE? ALL RISE.

LEIGH?

JUDGE RAPPAPORT.

BE SEATED.

DONNIE, I WANT YOU TO BE AWARE

OF MY PRIOR RELATIONSHIP WITH COUNSEL.

WE WENT TO LAW SCHOOL TOGETHER.

NOT A PROBLEM. YOU SHTUPPED THE JUDGE?

SHE WASN'T A JUDGE THEN. CASE SCR392.

JESSE BATES HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH THEFT BY CONVERSION.

SHE'S BEING HELD IN CIVIL CONTEMPT

FOR REFUSING TO TURN OVER PROPERTY.

I'D LIKE TO HEAR MOTIONS. WE MOVE TO DISMISS.

THE COMPLAINT IS DEFECTIVE, AS IT DOES NOT ALLEGE A TAKING.

IN POINT OF FACT, THE PAINTING WAS GIVEN TO MS. BATES,

AND THEREFORE CONSTIT--

DENIED. CONVERSION DOESN'T REQUIRE A TAKING.

IT'S CRIM LAW 101, ALTHOUGH IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY,

THE ONLY REASON YOU PASSED THAT CLASS

IS BECAUSE YOU COPIED MY OUTLINE.

THAT'S, UH, STRETCHING THE TRUTH A BIT, BUT...

MOVE TO DISMISS ON GROUNDS THAT COMPLAINANTS

ARE NOT THE ACTUAL OWNERS OF THE PAINTING. DENIED. FOUR OF YOU, AND THAT'S THE BEST YOU CAN COME UP WITH?

IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE? DON'T WORRY. WE GOT A LOT MORE.

AFRAID THAT'S IT, YOUR HONOR.

IN THAT CASE, LET'S MOVE FORWARD TO A PRELIMINARY HEARING

TO DETERMINE THE PAINTING'S TRUE OWNERSHIP.

MISS BATES WILL REMAIN IN CUSTODY. I TRUST EVERYONE

WILL BE READY TO CALL WITNESSES THIS AFTERNOON.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO THAT WOMAN?

UM, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? I'VE HEARD ABOUT

A COUPLE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ACUPUNCTURISTS--

SOME WHO DO A TRADITIONAL ACUPUNCTURE... MM-HMM.

AND, UH, THEN THERE ARE SOME

WHO DO A KIND OF DARKER ACUPUNCTURE...

NUR-HATCHY?

NURHACHI? YOUR NAME CAME UP,

AND, UH, DR. CHEN...

ALL RIGHT, NATE. SESSION'S OVER.

WHAT? I DIDN'T TELL YOU MY NAME.

LET'S JUST SAY YOU DON'T HAVE THE AURA FOR DECEPTION,

AND YOUR BROTHER TALKS ABOUT YOU A LOT.

NO PLUS ONE.

JORDAN WETHERSBY ALONE.

PLUS NONE.

YES, I KNOW I R.S.V.P.'d FOR TWO, BUT...

UH, HOLD ON.

LUCILLE, COULD YOU PLEASE PICK UP? YES, SIR.

EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

APPARENTLY, IT NOW REQUIRES AN ACT OF CONGRESS

TO ATTEND A CHARITY EVENT BY ONESELF.

BUT YOU CAME TO SEE ME. HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

WELL, I'VE BEEN SPENDING

THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS MAKING AMENDS.

IT'S PART OF MY PROGRAM.

I MAKE A LIST OF ALL THE PEOPLE I'VE HARMED,

AND I APOLOGIZE TO THEM.

WELL, THAT MUST BE A PRETTY LONG LIST.

OH, WATCH IT. LET ME MAKE THIS EASY.

YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING TO MAKE AMENDS FOR.

I TREATED YOU TERRIBLY... YOU DID NOT.

BEHIND YOUR BACK.

WHEN YOU ALMOST LOST DON KETTNER'S BUSINESS.

FOR TWO MONTHS, HE SIMPLY STOPPED RETURNING MY CALLS.

NO, HE DIDN'T. I DIDN'T PUT HIM THROUGH.

IT WAS LIKE WHEN YOU'D SHOW UP AT POSITANO,

AND THERE WAS NEVER A TABLE FOR YOU.

YOU NEVER MADE THE RESERVATION.

I COULDN'T STAND YOU KNOWING MY SECRET.

I-I WANTED TO PUNISH YOU.

CAN YOU FORGIVE ME?

THAT DEPENDS.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TONIGHT?

IT'S A PHILIPPE MOREAU.

THAT PAINTING'S BEEN IN MY FAMILY OVER 60 YEARS.

IT WASN'T AN EASY DECISION,

BUT WE WERE GONNA SELL IT TO PAY FOR THE TWINS' COLLEGE TUITION.

WE BROUGHT IT TO MS. BATES TO HAVE IT APPRAISED, AND--

WHICH WOULD BE WHEN SHE STOLE IT? OBJECTION. COUNSEL IS TESTIFYING.

AH, I DIDN'T THINK SO. OVERRULED.

REALLY?

UM...

I UNDERSTAND YOUR GRANDFATHER BOUGHT THIS PAINTING IN PARIS?

YES. HE WAS STATIONED IN FRANCE DURING WORLD WAR II. UH-HUH.

HE BOUGHT IT AS AN ENGAGEMENT GIFT FOR MY GRANDMOTHER.

UH, DO YOU KNOW THE DATE OF PURCHASE?

GRANDMA WAS A PACK RAT. I HAVE THE RECEIPT.

UH, IT'S FROM THE GALLERY RUE ST. GERMAIN.

DECEMBER 1944.

ARE YOU AWARE THAT THE ART LOSS REGISTER HAS CATALOGUED

AT LEAST 4,000 PIECES OF ART STOLEN FROM JEWISH OWNERS

DURING THE HOLOCAUST AND THAT ANY PAINTING

PURCHASED IN EUROPE FROM 1933 TO 1945 IS SUSPECT?

OBJECTION. SUSTAINED.

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN HEARD HIS GROUNDS. SUSTAINED. ARE YOU ENJOYING SONOMA, MATT?

UM... ARE YOU AWARE THAT THE GALLERY RUE ST. GERMAIN

WAS A KNOWN CLEARINGHOUSE

FOR ARTWORK STOLEN FROM JEWISH FAMILIES?

OBJECTION. IS THIS A COURTROOM OR A HISTORY CLASS?

THAT'S JUST A FOLKSY, MADE-UP OBJECTION. MOVE ON, MATT.

I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. MM.

YOUR HONOR,

IS IT POSSIBLE YOU'RE ALLOWING THIS TO GET PERSONAL?

OH, GOD.

MAYBE CONSIDERING OUR HISTORY, YOU MIGHT WANT TO--

OUR HISTORY? YOU MEAN LIKE HOW I WAITED FOR YOU

FOR SIX HOURS AT AN AIRPORT AFTER GRADUATION?

WHAT?

WE HAD A ROMANTIC JAMAICAN VACATION PLANNED.

THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A RING.

INSTEAD, HE NEVER SHOWED UP, NEVER CALLED.

THREE MONTHS LATER, HE E-MAILED.

HE SENT AN E-MAIL SAYING, "SORRY. I JOINED THE FBI."

OH, HOW ARE THINGS WORKING OUT AT THE BUREAU ANYWAY, MATT?

THAT I CAN EXPLAIN. OH, YOU KNOW WHAT?

PLEASE, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER WORD OUT OF YOU. I'M FIRST CHAIR.

NOT ANYMORE. I'M HOLDING YOU IN CONTEMPT.

ACTUALLY, I'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS.

I'M JUST MAKING IT LEGAL. BAILIFF, TAKE HIM.

OKAY.

OKAY, WHO SAW THAT COMING?

ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, GO.

PAPER COVERS ROCK. I BELIEVE THAT

THAT WOULD MAKE ME THE NEW FIRST CHAIR.

I SUCK AT THIS GAME. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.

I SWEAR SHE PUT HIM IN JAIL JUST TO RUIN MY GETAWAY. TAYLOR, SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW YOU.

CLEARLY, SHE KNOWS MATT. CAN WE GET BACK TO BUSINESS?

ABSOLUTELY. BACK TO BUSINESS...

AFTER I GET SNACKS.

YOU OKAY?

IS THIS CASE GIVING YOU A HEADACHE?

NO, I BROUGHT IT WITH ME FROM SAN FRANCISCO.

MM. ANYWAY, THE OWNER'S TESTIMONY HURT US.

ALLEGED OWNER. THE PAINTING'S NOT REALLY HIS, REMEMBER?

WHICH IS WHY WE NEED THE ORIGINAL OWNERS

SO WE CAN ESTABLISH INITIAL POSSESSION.

AND THEIR TESTIMONY WOULD BE VERY COMPELLING SINCE,

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE DEAD. ANY RELATIVES?

ONE--A GRANDDAUGHTER. KATIE BOCHNER.

BUT ACCORDING TO HER NEIGHBOR, SHE'S VACATIONING IN FIJI. SO WE STALL UNTIL SHE GETS BACK BY...

PUTTING JESSE ON THE STAND? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA

HOW WE CAN DISTINGUISH ORKIN vs. TAYLOR?

TAYLOR'S GONNA SUE THAT SPA NOW? ORKIN vs. TAYLOR.

COME ON. THE CONTROLLING PRECEDENT IN CALIFORNIA.

EVEN IF WE PROVE THE PAINTING WAS STOLEN BY NAZIS,

ORKIN SAYS THE NEW OWNERS DON'T HAVE TO RETURN IT.

'CAUSE THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS BARS RECOVERY.

OKAY, NEW STRATEGY-- HOPE THE D.A. BARNEY FIFE

IS NOT AS GOOD A LAWYER AS YOU ARE.

IN MY OLD LIFE, I WORKED IN TV JOURNALISM.

I ONCE PRODUCED A PIECE ABOUT STOLEN NAZI ART.

AND I PRETTY MUCH MEMORIZED THE WHOLE ART LOSS REGISTRY.

SO WHEN I SAT DOWN TO APPRAISE THIS PAINTING,

I REALIZED I WAS LOOKING

AT MOREAU'S "LADY WITH LOCKET," STOLEN FROM THE BOCHNERS,

A JEWISH FAMILY WHO HAD FLED NAZI GERMANY IN 1933.

OBJECTION. I-I DON'T SEE ANY BOCHNERS IN THIS ROOM.

OVERRULED.

THE ONLY SURVIVING FAMILY MEMBER IS A GRANDDAUGHTER.

I HAVE YET TO BE ABLE TO REACH HER. ERIC DANVERS' FAMILY PAID FOR THIS PAINTING.

THEY HAVE THE RECEIPT. AND I'M SURE THEY DIDN'T KNOW

THEY WERE BUYING STOLEN PROPERTY.

IT'S YOUR WITNESS.

JUST SO I'M CLEAR...

ERIC DANVERS DIDN'T STEAL THIS PAINTING.

HIS FAMILY DIDN'T STEAL THIS PAINTING, AND TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE,

EVEN THE DEALER THEY BOUGHT IT FROM DIDN'T STEAL THIS PAINTING.

IS THERE A QUESTION, OR EVEN A POINT?

MY QUESTION AND MY POINT IS,

HOW MANY YEARS BACK DO WE GO TO RECTIFY PAST INJUSTICES?

SHOULD WE GIVE MANHATTAN BACK TO THE INDIANS? YOUR HONOR--

CAN YOU EVEN PROVE THAT THIS IS THE BOCHNERS' MISSING PAINTING?

IT'S DESCRIBED IN THE REGISTRY. DESCRIBED? IS THERE A PHOTO?

NO, BUT...

YOU SAID THE PAINTING'S CALLED "LADY WITH LOCKET."

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY LADIES MOREAU PAINTED? YOUR HONOR!

AH, YES. LAWYER NUMBER FOUR.

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, WHAT KIND OF COURT ARE YOU RUNNING HERE?

TAYLOR. YOU'RE CROSS-EXAMINING WITNESSES.

YOU--YOU THREW OUR CO-COUNSEL IN JAIL

BECAUSE HE BROKE UP WITH YOU. UNLESS YOU WANT TO JOIN HIM, DIAL IT BACK, COUNSEL.

MOVE THAT YOU RECUSE YOURSELF FROM THIS CASE.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO HASN'T MADE PEACE WITH THE PAST. OH, MY GOD.

HI, HONEY. HOW WAS WORK?

EVENING, GRAHAM, SHELLEY.

PATTI, YOU LOOK LOVELY.

DON'T LOOK SO SURPRISED.

THIS ISN'T SURPRISE. THIS IS HAPPY TO SEE A FRIENDLY FACE

THAT'S LOOKING AT ME WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN PITY. I ALMOST CALLED AND SAID I COULDN'T MAKE IT.

I ALMOST LEFT THE EXACT SAME MESSAGE. THEN I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW I STAYED IN THE HOUSE

SIX MONTHS AFTER PHIL AND I SPLIT UP

JUST FEELING SORRY FOR MYSELF

UNTIL MY DAUGHTER ANGELA KICKED MY ASS OUT THE DOOR,

TOLD ME, "DON'T COME HOME UNTIL YOU HAVE SOME FUN."

IT'S A ZOO BENEFIT.

I'M NOT SURE FUN IS ON THE EVENING AGENDA.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS YOU'RE OUT...

AND BESIDES, YOU BROUGHT THE FUN WITH YOU.

JORDAN.

ELLEN. YOU'RE HERE.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T BE ATTENDING.

I SAID I WOULDN'T BE ATTENDING WITH YOU.

THAT'S A LOVELY DRESS, PATTI. THANK YOU, ELLEN.

YOU LOOK PARTICULARLY WELL-PRESERVED TONIGHT.

SWEETIE, WE'RE AT TABLE TEN.

JORDAN.

JEFF.

GIVE ME A MINUTE. ELLEN?

YOU COULD HAVE GIVEN HIM A HEADS-UP.

OH, I KNOW I COULD HAVE.

WE HAVE A LONG LIST OF NICKNAMES IN THE OFFICE FOR YOU.

SO SORRY TO SEE YOU EARNING EVERY ONE OF THEM.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

UH, I KNOW I PROMISED YOU DINNER, BUT...

WOULD YOU BE TERRIBLY CRUSHED IF WE FOUND IT ELSEWHERE?

OH. OF COURSE NOT.

THANK YOU.

DON'T REJECT THIS STRAIGHT OFF,

BUT WHAT IF TAYLOR WAS RIGHT

WHEN SHE ASKED THE JUDGE TO RECUSE HERSELF?

WE COULD FILE TO HAVE HER REMOVED.

THEN WE'RE STUCK HERE AT LEAST ANOTHER WEEK.

WELL, THERE'S WORSE PLACES TO BE STUCK.

MORE WINE?

I THINK YOU FINISHED IT ALL.

NOT BY MYSELF, I DIDN'T.

SPEAKING OF YOU,

YOU WERE REALLY GOOD TODAY.

I FORGOT WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ON YOUR SIDE OF THE AISLE.

WELL, LET ME REMIND YOU. WE USUALLY ENDED UP FIGHTING,

LET ME REMIND YOU THAT YOU WERE ALWAYS THE ONE WHO STARTED IT.

ARE YOU KIDDING? THE FIRST TIME I MET YOU,

YOU WERE INTERVIEWING FOR A JOB AT THE FIRM

AND YOU ACCUSED ME OF BEING A BILLABLE HOURS DRONE

WHO SOLD OUT HIS PRINCIPLES FOR SEVEN FIGURES AND A CAR.

I DID, AND YOU WERE... YEAH.

BUT THAT WASN'T THE FIRST TIME YOU MET ME. EXCUSE ME?

OH, GOD.

MM. I DIDN'T MEAN TO. I...

WE...

WE MET AT LAW SCHOOL.

HOW MUCH DID YOU DRINK?

WE DIDN'T GO TO LAW SCHOOL TOGETHER,

NOT EVEN AT THE SAME TIME. Y--UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, FIVE YEARS AGO.

I WAS A SECOND YEAR AND I TAGGED ALONG WITH MY ROOMMATE

TO THE SUMMER ASSOCIATE RECRUITMENT DINNER,

WHERE A VERY SLICK, VERY SHALLOW,

VERY SMART ATTORNEY FROM W.P.K. IN SAN FRANCISCO SPOKE.

I REMEMBER. YOU WERE THERE?

YEAH.

DID WE TALK?

NO, NO. NOT AT THE DINNER,

BUT AFTERWARDS.

AT THAT KARAOKE BAR?

UH, YOU WERE THE GIRL THAT WOULDN'T GET OFF THE STAGE.

LAW SCHOOL MAGGIE LOVED THE KARAOKE.

AND BY THE WAY, I DID GET OFF THE STAGE

WHEN I TRIED TO GET YOU TO SING. YEAH. YOU REMEMBER WHAT I SANG?

SOME GEORGE MICHAEL SONG. OH. YEAH.

YEAH, I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT'S WHY HE DIDN'T TOUR IN AMERICA

FOR FIVE YEARS. IN FACT...

LET'S SEE IF YOU'VE GOTTEN ANY BETTER IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS.

IT'S TEARIN' APART

MY BLUE, BLUE HEART OH, COME ON. EVERYONE KNOWS THE WORDS.

RED, RED WINE, YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO FINE

YOU KEEP ME ROCKIN' ALL OF THE TIME

I'D HAVE SWORN

THAT WITH TIME

I'VE ACTUALLY HAD THIS FANTASY--

YOU, ME, PRISON,

BUT THERE WERE MORE HOT, CAPTIVE WOMEN

AND MAYBE A STEAMY GROUP SHOWER.

YEAH. THIS IS EXACTLY THE ROMANTIC GETAWAY

I'VE BEEN DREAMING OF, TOO.

I SHOULD PROBABLY EXPLAIN ABOUT LEIGH, HUH?

I KNEW WHO YOU WERE WHEN I GOT INVOLVED WITH YOU.

THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT THE PAST, MATT. DID YOU JUST QUOTE CHARLIE SHEEN?

I CAN LIVE WITH YOUR BAGGAGE

JUST AS LONG AS YOU DON'T TRY AND UNPACK IT.

WOW. OKAY, AND...

RIGHT BACK AT YOU.

EXCUSE ME? TAYLOR, WE DROVE UP HERE WITH YOUR BAGGAGE

EATING GORP IN THE BACKSEAT.

HE'S YOUR EX-FIANCé, THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE,

AND I HAVE TO WATCH YOU GO OFF EVERY MORNING,

KNOWING YOU'RE GONNA SPEND 10, 12 HOURS WITH HIM.

I NEVER...

YOU'RE RIGHT... ABOUT ALL OF IT,

EXCEPT THE PART ABOUT ELI BEING THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.

I THOUGHT HE WAS, BUT...

I WAS WRONG.

AND THAT POSITION HAS YET TO BE FILLED.

ARE YOU TAKING APPLICATIONS?

ABSOLUTELY.

YEAH, WHOA

OOH

WAIT. WAIT. WAIT.

WHAT? WHAT ARE WE DOING?

YOU--YOU HAD A LOT TO DRINK.

NO, I'VE HAD JUST ENOUGH. WE BOTH HAVE.

I JUST--I DON'T WANNA MESS THINGS UP, YOU KNOW?

THINGS ARE GONNA GET MESSED UP WHETHER WE WANT THEM TO OR NOT.

LOOK, I DON'T NEED YOU PROTECTING ME.

JUST TELL ME THIS...

ALL THE LOVE ON YOUR LIPS

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE RIGHT NOW?

HERE.

YOU'RE SO NATURAL TO LOVE

YOU DO REALIZE I HAVE A PHONE?

I LEFT YOU MESSAGES. YOU NEVER CALLED ME BACK.

THAT'S BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY HAD THIS CONVERSATION.

I CAN'T TELL ELI ABOUT THE BOOK.

THEN TELL ME.

I SPOKE WITH DR. LEE.

SHE TOLD ME ABOUT NURHACHI,

ABOUT A KIND OF ACUPUNCTURE

THAT LITERALLY CAUSES PHYSIOLOGICAL DAMAGE

AND THAT YOU PRACTICED IT. ONLY TWICE.

ON ELI?

ONCE WITH ELI.

AND THE OTHER TIME?

COME ON, FRANK.

WHATEVER IT IS, YOU CAN TELL ME.

I MEAN, WE'RE--WE'RE-- WE'RE PRACTICALLY FAMILY HERE.

THAT'S IRONIC.

THE OTHER TIME I PERFORMED THE NURHACHI TECHNIQUE...

I DID IT ON YOUR FATHER.

IT WAS MORE THAN TEN YEARS AGO,

BACK WHEN I WAS WORKING FOR HIM AT HIS TV SHOP.

YOUR DAD WAS IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE

WITH THE VISIONS HE WAS HAVING-- SO ALL THE MORE REASON NOT TO--

HE--HE HADN'T SLEPT IN A WEEK.

THERE WERE THESE VOICES IN HIS HEAD, IMAGES.

IT WAS PLAGUING HIM, NATE.

HE WAS AS CLOSE TO A COMPLETE BREAK

AS I'D EVER SEEN IN ANYONE. NOW I-I WAS YOUNG

AND NAIVE ENOUGH TO THINK

THE CURE COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE WORSE THAN THE DISEASE.

BUT DID IT HELP?

I THOUGHT SO, AT FIRST.

IT GAVE HIM RELIEF,

ALLOWED HIM TO SEE WHATEVER HE NEEDED TO SEE.

BUT...

SOMETHING HAPPENED?

HE--HE DIED LESS THAN A WEEK LATER.

THANK YOU.

WHEN YOU SAID YOU WERE TAKING ME TO DINNER,

I ASSUMED THERE'D BE TABLECLOTHS.

YOU ARE ABOUT TO FEAST

ON THE BEST CHEESEBURGER IN SAN FRANCISCO,

POSSIBLY THE WESTERN SEABOARD.

WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING TO HER?

PARADING HER DATE AROUND IN FRONT OF YOU LIKE THAT?

WHY ARE YOU LETTING THIS WOMAN WALK ALL OVER YOU?

I'M NOT LETTING HER WALK ALL OVER ME.

THE DIVORCE, THE WAY SHE TREATED YOU TONIGHT.

YOU'RE LIVING IN A HOTEL, FOR GOD SAKES.

THERE ARE WORSE PLACES TO DO ONE'S PENANCE.

YOU LOST ME.

I CHEATED ON TAYLOR'S MOTHER WITH ELLEN FOR MONTHS,

LYING TO HER FACE ABOUT IT.

WELL, THEN MAKE IT UP TO SUSAN, NOT ELLEN.

AND WHEN SUSAN FINALLY FOUND OUT,

WHEN MY LIES STOPPED WORKING,

I TRIED TO CONVINCE HER THAT IT WAS HER FAULT.

IF SHE'D BEEN A BETTER WIFE, A BETTER MOTHER,

A BETTER PERSON,

I NEVER WOULD HAVE STRAYED.

WHAT'S HAPPENED WITH ELLEN IS

JUST MY POULTRY COMING HOME TO ROOST.

OH, WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP.

NO NEED TO BE BASHFUL, PATTI. PLEASE, SPEAK YOUR MIND.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT I'M DOING HERE TONIGHT,

WHY I AGREED TO COME HERE WITH YOU?

YOU WERE MAKING AMENDS.

MAYBE IT'S TIME YOU DID THE SAME.

MM.

HMM. ELI?

HMM?

HEY. HMM?

HEY.

WERE YOU PRETENDING TO BE ASLEEP JUST NOW?

WHAT? NO.

I WAS...

UM... UM, MAYBE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING.

MM. KIND OF LIKE LAST NIGHT, RIGHT?

EXACTLY.

EXCEPT I WAS KIDDING.

YEAH, ME, TOO. I'M KIDDING. ELI.

HEY, NO. LOOK, LAST NIGHT WAS GREAT,

BUT I DON'T THINK I'VE BEEN...

COMPLETELY HONEST

WITH YOU OR WITH MYSELF.

I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL OVER THE WEEKEND.

ARE YOU OKAY? YEAH. WELL, NO.

UM... UH...

I WAS BLEEDING,

AND, UM, AND THEY FOUND A SECOND ANEURYSM.

NO. OH.

I JUST HAVEN'T GIVEN MYSELF ANY TIME TO THINK ABOUT THAT.

THAT'S WHY I WAS SO HAPPY TO GET OUT OF TOWN, YOU KNOW?

CHANGE OF SCENERY.

AND THEN LAST NIGHT... TELL ME YOU'RE NOT ABOUT TO USE YOUR ANEURYSM

TO JUSTIFY WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.

NO. YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT.

MAGGIE DEKKER.

YOU'RE KIDDING. NO, THAT'S TERRIFIC.

UM, YEAH, WE'LL SEE YOU IN COURT.

WE HAVE OUR WITNESS.

KATIE BOCHNER, THE GRANDDAUGHTER,

JUST FLEW INTO TOWN AN HOUR AGO.

YOU GOT HER? THAT'S GREAT.

C-CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT THIS?

I THOUGHT WE JUST DID.

LOOK, WHY DON'T YOU JUST PRETEND TO BE ASLEEP AGAIN

SO I CAN GET DRESSED? HEY.

MY GRANDPARENTS GOT SEPARATED WHILE ESCAPING NAZI GERMANY.

MY GRANDFATHER GOT OUT WITH MY MOTHER.

MY GRANDMOTHER-- SHE DIDN'T MAKE IT.

AFTER THE WAR, MY GRANDFATHER WENT BACK TO TRY TO FIND HER.

SHE WAS GONE, AND EVERYTHING WE OWNED,

INCLUDING THE PAINTING, HAD BEEN STOLEN.

SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, YOU'VE NEVER ACTUALLY SEEN

THIS PAINTING? NEVER.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO?

OH, MY GOD.

WOW. THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

MY MOTHER--

SHE USED TO TALK ABOUT THIS PAINTING ALL THE TIME--

THE STORIES MY GRANDFATHER TOLD HER ABOUT IT.

WHEN DID YOUR GRANDFATHER STOP LOOKING FOR THE PAINTING?

NEVER. HE NEVER STOPPED.

HE DIDN'T CARE ABOUT MOREAU OR WHAT THE PAINTING WAS WORTH.

TO HIM, IT WAS PRICELESS. TO HIM, IT WAS A PIECE OF HER.

EMOTION ASIDE, YOUR HONOR,

THIS ISN'T EVIDENCE.

LOOK AT KATIE AND LOOK AT THE WOMAN IN THE PAINTING.

THEY'RE PRACTICALLY IDENTICAL.

I'M SORRY. I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE LEGAL LOOK-ALIKE TEST.

KATIE, SHOW THE JUDGE YOUR NECKLACE.

MY GRANDMOTHER GAVE THIS TO MY MOM IN GERMANY,

AND MY MOM GAVE IT TO ME.

YOUR HONOR, AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO DISMISS.

AND I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO GRANT YOUR MOTION, COUNSEL,

BUT LAST NIGHT I CAME ACROSS A LITTLE PRECEDENT

CALLED ORKIN vs. TAYLOR.

HEARD OF IT? UNDER THE 9th CIRCUIT RULING,

AN ALLEGEDLY RIGHTFUL OWNER HAS TO FILE WITHIN THREE YEARS.

YOU ARE NOT BOUND BY THAT DECISION, YOUR HONOR. THE NAFTZER CASE HOLDS THAT THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS

ISN'T TRIGGERED UNTIL-- PUBLIC POLICY DEMANDS THAT--

WAIT. I DON'T THINK I WANT IT. KATIE, THIS BELONGS TO YOUR FAMILY.

MY FAMILY IS DEAD, MR. STONE,

AND THIS PAINTING CAN'T BRING 'EM BACK.

IF YOU WANT TO SELL THE PAINTING, MR. DANVERS,

I'M OKAY WITH IT. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU SELL IT TO A MUSEUM

SO THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE IT AND HEAR ITS STORY

AND SO THAT I CAN VISIT IT ONCE IN A WHILE.

OKAY, BONNIE AND CLYDE, WAKE UP.

GREAT ACCOMMODATIONS.

ONE COMPLAINT--

THE MATTRESSES ARE A LITTLE STIFF.

OH.

THANK YOU.

IT'S POSSIBLE

I MAY HAVE LET MYSELF GET A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY.

IT'S POSSIBLE. WHAT?

MATT HAS SOMETHING HE WANTS TO SAY TO YOU. NO.

I'M SORRY.

I WASN'T THE GUY YOU DESERVED ME TO BE,

AND IT WAS EASIER FOR ME TO LIE TO YOU THAN ADMIT THAT.

IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS.

I THINK THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS HAS LONG SINCE RUN,

NOT EXACTLY THE RESULT WE WERE GOING FOR.

WE WERE OUT TO PROVE THE PAINTING'S HERS.

WITH THAT, COMES THE RIGHT TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH IT.

WITH THOSE KIND OF PRINCIPLES, I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD

TO HEARING WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY IN THE RUSSELL CASE.

SOMETHING REALLY WHISTLE-BLOWER-Y WOULD BE NICE.

MAGGIE DIDN'T TELL YOU.

MAGGIE?

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY, MR. STONE.

ALL THE DECISIONS ABOUT THE HIRING AND FIRING

OF AN ON-AIR REPORTER LIKE SAM--

THEY HAPPENED OVER MY HEAD.

HOWEVER, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT I DIDN'T CARE

ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO SAM, AND IT DOESN'T MEAN

THAT I DIDN'T LEAVE BAY WEST MEDIA

WITH A WHOLE MESS OF E-MAILS, MEMOS, DOCUMENTS.

I NEVER HAD THE HEART TO READ THEM, BUT, UH,

IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME IF THERE WERE

SOME FAIRLY USEFUL THINGS IN THERE. USEFUL TO WHO?

YOU'RE THE LAWYER. JESSE, I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO SEE THOSE DOCUMENTS.

NO PROBLEM. I ALREADY GAVE MAGGIE

THE COMBINATION TO MY STORAGE UNIT. SO MAGGIE HAS EVERYTHING?

MM-HMM. SHE CAME TO SEE ME THIS MORNING,

SAID SHE HAD TO GET BACK EARLY. YOU GUYS WORK TOGETHER, RIGHT? NOT SO MUCH, NO.

OH, I'M SORRY. I JUST THOUGHT-- YOU SEEMED LIKE A GOOD TEAM.

MALCOLM X., SOLZHENITSYN,

MANDELA-- WHAT DO THEY HAVE IN COMMON?

WAIT. LET ME GUESS.

POSTERS I HAD UP IN MY COLLEGE DORM?

THEY HAVE ALL DONE HARD TIME IN PRISON, JUST LIKE US.

WE'RE IN THAT CLUB NOW.

WHO KNEW A NIGHT BEHIND BARS WAS ALL WE NEEDED?

COME ON, MAGGIE. IT'S ME AGAIN. PICK UP.

HEY. WHAT'D YOU GUYS DO LAST NIGHT ANYWAY?

NOTHING. WORKED ON THE CASE. WHY?

GENERALLY, I HAVE TO SLEEP WITH A WOMAN

TO GET HER TO FLEE TOWN SO FAST.

TRY HER AGAIN.

THEY DON'T KNOW

A FRIEND LIKE YOU

THE GIRL YOU LOVED HAS GONE AWAY

STILL TOO YOUNG TO KNOW HER HEART

SHE'LL RETURN, HER LOVE RENEWED

'CAUSE SHE'LL NEVER FIND YES, IN GOLDEN, COLORADO.

THE NUMBER FOR SUSAN BRANSFORD.

This is Maggie. Leave a message.

OKAY, THIS IS, LIKE, THE FIFTH MESSAGE I'VE LEFT, MAGGIE,

SO, UM, THERE'S NOT GONNA BE ANOTHER ONE.

NO, THAT'S A LIE. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER ONE,

AND THEN THERE'LL BE ONE AFTER THAT AND ONE AFTER THAT, SO...

THAT BETTER BE YOU.

AND IT'S NOT YOU.

UH, JUST PLEASE CALL ME BACK.

SINCE WHEN DO YOU TWO HANG OUT TOGETHER?

HUH?

THIS MAKES ME WORRIED. YOU NEED TO HEAR THIS.

FRANK.

I KEPT A COPY OF YOUR FATHER'S JOURNAL.

SO, UH, SO LAST MONTH, WHEN I, UH,

WHEN I ASKED YOU WHAT WAS IN THE BOOK,

W-WHEN I--WHEN I BEGGED YOU... ELI.

YOU LOOKED ME RIGHT IN THE EYE AND YOU TOLD ME IT WAS GONE.

HE WAS TRYING TO PROTECT YOU, ELI.

OH, YEAH? YOU KNEW? YES.

AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?

SO WHAT, YOU WERE TRYING TO--

OKAY, YOU WERE TRYING TO PROTECT ME, TOO.

ALL RIGHT. OKAY. PROTECT ME FROM WHAT? I KNEW IF I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE BOOK,

IT'D BE EVEN MORE REASON FOR YOU TO ASK ME

TO SHOW YOU THE DARK TRUTH, TO PERFORM THE NURHACHI.

MAYBE. BUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MY DECISION, FRANK.

YEAH, YES, BUT-- IF I WANT TO ROLL THE DICE ON A SECOND ANEURYSM

OR A THIRD OR A FOURTH-- IT'S YOUR CHOICE.

IT'S YOUR LIFE. YOU'RE RIGHT, ELI. THANK YOU.

BUT IF YOU'RE GONNA MAKE THAT KIND OF CHOICE,

THEN YOU NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH, ALL OF IT.

WHAT TRUTH?

WHAT?

I PERFORMED THE NURHACHI ONCE BEFORE...

ON YOUR FATHER.

WHEN I WARNED YOU IT WAS DANGEROUS,

I WAS SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE.

SO W-WHAT?

THE WEEK AFTER I DID THE NURHACHI ON YOUR DAD, HE...

HE HAD HIS HEART ATTACK.

I'M SO SORRY, ELI. I-I DIDN'T KNOW.

THAT'S HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS, ELI.

THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE TO STOP. Y--

JUST GET OUT. WHAT?

I CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT YOU GUYS RIGHT NOW. JUST--JUST GO.

ELI. I SAID, GET OUT.
