Gregory: It started
when I was a teenager.

I thought I was just
hearing voices of people

I didn't know or even see.

I saw all kinds of doctors,

but none of them could help.

- How did they diagnose you?
- As a schizophrenic.

Or a repressive psychotic.

Finally 11 years ago,

they discovered it was
multiple personality disorder.

How many personalities
do you have?

Originally, they brought out
seventeen.

Through treatment, they've
extinguished all but four.

Michael: Mr. Edmonson,
I'd like for you to describe

these four personalities
to the court.

Okay. Ninety-five percent
of the time, I'm just...

me, Greg Edmonson.

I... play the piano
and the violin.

For the past 12 years,
I've worked in a music store

tuning string instruments.

- What about the others?
- Then there's Allan Witt.

He's the teacher. Intellectual,
extremely well read,

also a little arrogant.

Then there's Sean.

Angry.

Psychotic.

The reason I'm...
sitting here now.

Mr. Edmonson, did Sean come out
the night of August 9th, 1990?

Gregory: I believe he did.

Michael: Could you tell us
what happened?

I was with my fiancee,
Sherril Eustis,

having dinner at her place.

Then to my shock,
after dinner...

she broke off our engagement.

- You didn't see this coming?
- No. I-- I...

After all the times we talked

over my problem,
I thought she'd excepted it.

Michael: Sherril knew about
your different personalities.

Gregory: Oh, yes,
and she'd met them all.

She knew about my illness
and it wasn't an obstacle.

And then, all of sudden...

she says she can't be
married to me.

- How did you respond?
Gregory: I was devastated.

I got very upset.

Uh, my voice grew loud and...

The next thing I remember...

was her on the floor...

and her...

her neck was all twisted.

She'd been strangled.

There was a puncture mark
on her throat...

and there was blood everywhere.

Michael: She was dead.
Gregory: Yes.

Michael: What'd you do then?
- I called the police.

Mr. Edmonson, do you know
how Sherril was killed?

It had to have been Sean.

I mean, he comes out sometimes
when I'm upset and...

Nobody else could've done
something like that.

I have nothing further.

Just before Sherril Eustis
was killed,

she broke off her engagement
with you, right?

- Yes.
Zoey: And just so we're clear.

These are the hands right here
that snapped her neck.

That's the thumb right there
on your left hand

that punctured her throat.

And you're in here today, asking
this jury to set you free.

But I couldn't have done
anything like that.

I loved Sherril Eustis,
Ms. Clemmons,

she was everything to me.

And the very last thing
she did in life

was break your heart.

[tense music]

[theme music]

[music continues]

Douglas: Alright, people,
good turn out.

Let's begin. Roxanne?

First up, people versus
Edmonson.

Hold on a second.
Why is Roxanne here?

She's here as my assistant.

To safeguard against
administrative oversights

during my tenure
as senior partner.

I've vested her with control
over the staff meeting agenda.

- Please proceed, Ms. Melman.
- People versus Edmonson.

Prosecution's rested. We began
our defense this morning.

Insanity defense?

Michael: We put up our expert
on this afternoon.

- How's Zoey doing?
- Zoey?

She's the D.A.
She's also my ex-wife.

- That woman is your ex-wife?
- Yeah. She thinks it's funny.

You representing a guy
with multiple personalities,

when you yourself
don't even got one.

[laughter]

Kuzak, she was makin' a joke.
- Roxanne: Moving on.

Becker versus Becker.
Were are we, Arnold?

Arnold: Why don't you
tell me, Roxanne?

You're the one giving
testimony against me.

I'm not testifying against you.

I've been subpoenaed
for a deposition--

What are you going to say,
Roxanne?

- The truth.
- You're dead, Arnie.

Alright. What's the plan here?

Roxanne gets deposed today,
Corrinne gets deposed tomorrow.

Tommy's gonna cover it, since

I don't think it's wise
to do it myself.

Why are we even having
depositions?

'Cause Corrinne got a lawyer and
sued me for emotional distress.

It's a cheap ploy to skirt
around no-fault,

I've tried it myself
once or twice.

It won't work. Even if it does,
it'll get thrown out on appeal.

With the firm footing
the bill for this appeal?

Moving on.
Abby, I see you've lost

California Rifle Association
as a client.

Yeah. I'm sorry.
But don't worry, though.

Abby: C.J. picked them up.
- I beg your pardon?

They dropped me and went to C.J.
It's her client.

I want to see both of you
in my office.

- Roxanne, slot them, ASAP.
Roxanne: 8:45, tomorrow morning.

Last up, Leland,
you have a meeting

with Tom Baker of Feldcore?

Yes, I do. He's upset about
something, I don't know what.

Keep us apprised.
Michael Kuzak and Ann Kelsey,

you're both derelict
in time sheets.

Jonathan, if you don't code
your long distance calls,

we can't bill them.

That's it, people.
We're adjourned.

Excellent, Roxanne. Excellent.

[indistinct chatter]

- A little coffee, Tom?
- Yeah. Sure.

[door shuts]

I think I'm losing Feldcore,
Leland.

- What? Mm.
- Alan Wendle, senior V.P.

Has been leading a backstabbing
campaign to push me out as CEO.

My moles tell me
he could succeed.

- Now that can't be right.
- Ha-ha. It's right.

The bastard set me up.

He turned over the analyst's
reports to the directors

without showing them to me.

So I walk into a board meeting
like an idiot,

totally unprepared.

And they...

just chewed me up.

- He did this on purpose?
Tom: Oh, yeah.

Then I find out last night,
that he asked to

see the board privately...

where he tells them
that I have lost control.

Now they've scheduled another
meeting for next week.

But, it doesn't look good.

Now let me make a few
phone calls,

see what I can find out.

I don't mean to drag you in,
Leland,

this is really an in-house
battle.

But if Alan Wendle becomes CEO,

he's gonna give the legal work
to another firm.

As I said, let me make
a few phone calls.

Man 1: How long have you been in
Mr. Becker's direct employ?

Twelve years.

And to your knowledge,
over that time,

how many affairs has Mr. Becker
had with his divorced clients.

What kind of a question is that?

Goes to show a pattern. The
defendant seduced Ms. Hammond

while he was representing her,

while she was extremely
susceptible to undue influence.

Get on with it.

How many affairs with clients
over those twelve years?

- I don't know.
- More than twenty five?

Yes.

More than fifty?
Answer the question, ma'am.

- I'm thinking.
- Oh, please, fifty?

Man 1: Interrupt again,
I'll suspend

and move for costs
and sanctions.

You threaten me again and I'll
pick at you like a crusty scab,

you cheap night school hack.

Alright, Arnie.
Just ask your questions.

Man 1: I'm trying.
Now, Ms. Melman,

turning your attention
to the night of January 10th,

Mr. Becker's 39th birthday,

could you tell us
what transpired?

Corrinne and I were

organizing a surprise party
out in reception.

I-- I went in to get Arnie to
lead him out to the party

and I discovered him with
Christina Sheppard,

one of his clients.

Could you tell us what they were
doing when you discovered them?

They appeared to be
having intercourse.

Man 1: Okay. And during
Mr. Becker's engagement

or marriage to Corrinne Hammond,

were you aware of any other
romantic or sexual affairs?

Not during the marriage, no.

- During the engagement?
- Objection!

Man 1: Answer the question,
Ms. Melman.

During Mr. Becker's engagement
to Ms. Hammond,

do you have knowledge
of sexual relationships

with any other women?

One.

Man 1: Approximately
when did this happen?

Approximately a week
before the wedding.

Man 1: Do you know the name
of this woman?

Roxanne: Yes.
- Oh God.

Man 1: Who was it?
- Her name is Gwen Taylor.

She's a secretary here.

Well, well...

now we seem to be
getting somewhere.

Dr. Carlson: I first examined
Greg in 1978,

when he was referred to me
by another psychiatrist.

It took us two years
to finally diagnose the MPD.

Doctor, how can this sort of
thing happen to a person?

Dr. Carlson: In almost
every case,

it's a result of
early childhood trauma.

Basically, the child
forms a new person

as a defense.

With Greg, he was sexually
abused as an young child

by his own father,
and that's likely the cause.

Now this can also cause
physiological changes

as well as psychological,
can it not?

In some cases. Yes.

- It happens with Greg.
- In what way?

Well, Greg,
who's the core personality,

is a normal,
physically healthy person.

Allen Witt, who you heard
Greg talk about,

well, when he emerges,
the blood pressure goes up.

Allen is left-handed,
Greg is right.

Allen has 25-50 vision,
he needs glasses. Greg doesn't.

Sean, who I believe
committed the crime,

has a severe asthmatic
condition.

Greg has no respiratory
dysfunction whatsoever.

And all of this happens
with the same body?

Depending on which personality
is controlling, yes.

Forgive me, doctor, but...

this does a little hard
to believe.

Well, there have been more
extreme cases, Mr. Kuzak.

I had a woman who had a lump in
her breast with one personality,

while being totally tumor free
as somebody else.

Medically, we can't explain it.

But we certainly can
document it.

Okay. Getting back to
my client...

you said you think
it was the Sean

personality who committed
the crime.

I do. Of the four remaining
personalities

that occupy that one body,

Sean is the only one I consider
to be truly violent.

And you think he came out

the night Sherril Eustis
was murdered?

I do.

Sherril Eustis broke off
the engagement with Greg.

That certainly was traumatic
enough for Sean to emerge.

Second, Greg has
no memory of it.

What does that mean?

If Sean does something,

Greg remembers nothing.

It's like a blackout period
for him.

Allen has a limited fusion
with Sean, and Allen

does have a memory of Sean
being with Sherril Eustis

the night of the murder.

Oh, it is pretty confusing.

Dr. Carlson: Now, the bottom
line is that Sean

probably did come out
that night.

And I want to say
something else.

I have treated Greg Edmonson

for over 12 years,

and I know the man.

He is totally incapable...

of the kind of violence
that we're talking about.

Michael: Thank you, doctor.

Oh, one last thing.

Michael: Can Greg be cured?
- Yes.

Seventy percent of all
multiple personality

disorder cases are cured.

Greg's in treatment,
he making excellent progress.

We started with 17
different personalities,

we are now down to four.

- Eventually, he will be cured.
- Thank you.

I have nothing further.

Doctor, can you tell us
a little more about Sean?

He's a very angry man...

with psychotic tendencies.

This persona was probably
developed

to psychologically fend off
the abusive father.

When Greg is threatened,
or traumatized, out he comes.

Is Sean insane?

Well, you have to consider
the whole man.

Is Sean insane?

Well, by a strict medical
definition,

maybe not,
but he most certain--

So whoever killed
Sherril Eustis,

Sean or Greg, there's no
insanity defense, is there?

Objection, that's calls
for a legal conclusion.

I'll rephrase.
True or false...

Sean would've understood
the nature

and quality of his act, right?

And both Sean and Greg

are able to distinguish
right from wrong.

True or false, doctor?

- True.
- Thank you.

I have nothing further.

According to Don Orey,

Wendle has four of the seven
board votes locked up.

I can't believe that.
Tom Baker is Feldcore.

Well, not anymore.

Wendle's smear campaign,

eh, really poisoned him
pretty good.

So go after Wendle.

Anybody that dirty has to
have left some tracks.

I don't know.

Let me see the files, Leland.

There must be something
to impeach him with.

Well, I don't want to stoop
to that level.

Leland, Feldcore is your
biggest client.

If Baker goes,
you lose that client,

you'll be forced to make
layoffs, maybe.

Now, you better damn well
fight here.

I'm not stupid. I know what's
going on with California Rifle.

By making it C.J.'s client,

she gets 40 percent
of the business.

No doubt, she's promised
a kick back to you.

- I'm shocked.
- You can't do this.

Douglas, I just decided I didn't
want the client anymore.

C.J. picked them up,
what's wrong with that?

What's wrong is that since
you'll be doing all the work

for this client,
it doesn't make sense,

it's just a sham.

Why? As it is, all I do is

slave away
and make other people rich.

I would just rather profit C.J.
than the partners, that's all.

Okay.

I'm aware we have
a situation here,

and this is what I'm
prepared to do.

I'm cutting your
salary by 20 percent.

In exchange for which, I'm
offering you 20 percent

of the business that you
bring in.

Can you do that?

Of course I can,
I'm senior partner.

It's similar to the deal
Leland made

with you when he was in charge.

Except it's not as good.

No, but that's as good as
it gets.

I lower overhead, as well as
give incentive to an associate

who's not on
a partnership tract.

You get a big upside now, Abby.

As long as you don't have
the right to

refuse the clients
I want to bring in.

Agreed. As long as you
still bill 1800 hours.

- Agreed.
- Well, that's all, then.

Dismissed.

Ma'am, your complaint states
that my client's acts

have left you emotionally
devastated.

Would that be correct?

Yes.

Now, whose opinion is that?

I guess it would be my opinion.

You weren't caused
to seek therapy

or any psychiatric counseling
for this emotional devastation?

No, I wasn't.

So there would be no medical
documentation whatsoever

of your mental condition
at this time?

- No, there wouldn't.
Tommy: Very good.

Now you were married to your
first husband for how long?

Seven years.

Did the separation from this man

cause you any
emotional distress?

- I'm sure it did.
- But you recovered fully.

- I don't know.
Tommy: Well, then.

Might some of
the emotional damage you

suffer today, be the product
of that event?

No. I recovered from that event.

Okay. So we're talking about
a kind of pain that you do,

in fact, recover from.

The trauma is much worse
this time.

Tommy: How could the break up
of a nine month marriage

be more traumatic than that
of a seven year marriage?

Because having been
once divorced,

I was much more emotionally
unstable this time.

Tommy: You have full custody
of your daughter, Chloe,

do you not, Ms. Hammond?

Yes.

Tommy: Subject to modification
at any time.

Do you consider yourself to be
an emotionally unstable person?

Oh, God!

Is this what you're
trying to do?

You think you're gonna
take my daughter away?

Tommy: We're just concerned
about your emotional fitness.

There's nothing wrong with my
fitness, Mr. Mullaney, I just--

You just want to get even
with my client.

Come on, let's all calm down.

Tommy: Come on, Ms. Hammond,
that's what

this is about, isn't it?

You don't have that much
mental anguish,

you haven't sought
any psychiatric treatment.

Given the settlement we offered,
this couldn't be about money.

- Why are we here?
- Why are we here?

He sleeps with a
childhood friend of mine

the week of our wedding,
then he sleeps with a client

when throwing a party for him,
"Why are we here?"

Tommy: So you want him to hurt.
- Yes, I want him to hurt!

I want him to hurt
so much so that maybe...

when he thinks of this marriage
it will make him cry because...

that's what I've been
going through.

That's how it's felt
for me, Mr. Mullaney.

That's why the hell we're here!

Okay.

I think I got it.

Could you please state your name
for the record?

My name is Allen Kendal Witt.

Michael: My name is
Michael Kuzak.

I represent Greg Edmonson.
Mr. Witt, do you know

how you came to be here today?

Well, since Dr. Carlson
suddenly appeared,

standing in front of my face,
I can only assume

that I was just
brought out through hypnosis.

That's right. Do you also know
why you're here?

I'd hazard a guess, that

we're in the middle of
Gregory's murder trial.

Michael: You know
about the trial?

- Oh, yes.
Michael: Okay. Mr. Witt.

Were you present in
Sherril Eustis's apartment

the night she was murdered?

I certainly was not.

Well, according to Dr. Carlson,

you have a memory of
being there.

Michael: Did you--
- You're confused, counselor.

Gregory: What I told
Dr. Carlson was

that I have a memory of
Sean being there, not me.

Because of my limited
fusion with Sean,

I have memories of his
experiences sometimes.

I, myself, was never

in Sherril Eustis's
apartment that night.

Michael: But Sean was.

I'm not clear on exactly
what transpired,

but I do remember Sean

standing over Sherril's body,
with blood on him.

I remember that very clearly.

Michael: Thank you, Mr. Witt.

I have nothing further.

Mr. Witt, you know all about

this multiple personality
disorder.

- Right?
- Yes, I do.

And you know that you
and Greg Edmonson

occupy the same body.

It's been brought to
my attention.

Zoey: So what happens to Greg

if he receives a criminal
conviction here, Mr. Witt?

He either goes to jail...

or the Congress, these days
I'm not sure which.

Zoey: Forget being cute,
Mr. Witt

and answer the question.

What happens to Greg Edmonson

if he's convicted of murder?

He goes to prison.

And you got with him,
don't you?

Obviously.

So by giving testimony
here to save Greg,

you help save yourself,
isn't that right, Mr. Witt?

As a matter of fact,
you couldn't be more wrong.

Gregory is currently undergoing

psychiatric treatment,
the purpose of which

is to extinguish his
three other personalities,

one of whom happens to be me.

His cure is my demise.

If he goes to prison,
on the other hand,

his treatment is suspended,
in which case I live on.

Oh, I don't think you want to
go to prison.

- Men get raped in prison.
- Objection!

Zoey: You could be Sean,
or Greg or Allen.

- They'd rape anyone of them.
Judge Mary: Counsel...

In fact, they'd really
go after Allen.

And I think you know that,
don't you?

Judge Mary: Mr. Edmonson.

Mr. Witt?

Your Honor, I don't think
that's Greg or Allen.

What is your name, sir?

You're in a court of law,
you have to tell us the truth,

please state your name.

Sean.

[indistinctly mumbling]

Okay, Sean. I'd like to
ask you a few questions.

- Objection, Your Honor!
- Overruled.

We've got Sean here now,
let's just do this.

Your Honor, this witness
isn't even on her list!

Step back, Mr. Kuzak.

Sean. Were you with
Sherril Eustis

the night she got killed?

Were you with Sherril Eustis?
You are under oath.

She was dead by the time
I got there. Greg did it!

- Objection!
Gregory: He strangled her.

He got mad at her
and he strangled her.

Unfair surprise, judge.
Mistrial!

- I didn't do nothin'.
- You killed Sherril Eustis.

- You shut up!
- Hey!

I don't even know this man,
judge. He's not my client!

- Damn right I'm not!
- Alright, counsel in chambers.

Doctor Carlson, too. Bailiff!

[sighs]

[scoffs]

Your Honor, Sean is a completely
different person.

He's not on her witness list.

I need time to prepare my cross.

I'd be happy to give you
a continuance, Mr. Kuzak,

if there were some guarantee

we could get the Sean
character back.

I can bring him out
through hypnosis.

I thought you couldn't bring
the Sean persona out that way.

Not normally, no. But the
stress of the trial

has obviously made him
accessible.

I think I can get him back.

Alright. Tomorrow, 10 o'clock,
we'll meet here.

You hypnotize him, you ask him

your questions,
and that'll be it.

Let's go back in there
and send the jury home.

This is unbelievable.

[instrumental music]

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Ms. Shays, I don't know you. Why
should I bother to trust you?

Maybe you'll have to take
a chance, Mr. Wendle.

Anyone ambitious enough to go
after Feldcore Industries

certainly must be willing
to take chances.

Mm-hm.

What exactly is in this for you?

Leland McKenzie is a close
personal friend of mine.

Losing Feldcore would
seriously threaten his firm,

and maybe even his own job.

So?

I help you over throw Tom Baker,

you promise to leave
Feldcore's business

at McKenzie Brackman
after you become CEO.

First of all, Ms. Shays,
I'm not sure I need your help.

Secondly...

You have a one vote lead
with the board, right now,

it's tenuous at best.

I have information which
in your hands would make

Baker resign without a fight.

I'm listening.

Through my relationship
with Leland,

I got access to files this
morning, business and personal.

I found evidence
of a certain vice crime

committed by Mr. Baker,
as well as

evidence of a possible
cover up.

- What kind of cover up?
Rosalind: I'm not sure.

A memo makes clear
that he was arrested

on three counts of solicitation,
one with a minor.

But there's no public record
of it at the D.A.'s office.

There's a second memo
talking about a payoff

to a district attorney
identified only with initials.

My thinking is,
there had to be a bribe.

Now, I'll give you these memos,

but you're gonna have to pretend
you got them elsewhere.

Waiter: Excuse me.
- Thank you.

You think this will make
Tom Baker roll over?

You call a meeting. I'll get
myself invited to it by Leland,

ostensibly to lend him support.

You drop the bomb, and then I,
in my infinite wisdom

will objectively advise that he
can't risk this becoming public.

You'll be CEO
by the end of the week.

In return, you guarantee
Feldcore's business

to McKenzie Brackman.

It can't be as simple as that.

Oh, yes, it can.
And if, for some reason,

they turn down your business,

you guarantee it to my firm,
a minimum of two years.

You're every bit as good
as they say.

I beg your pardon?

You know damn well
if I unseat Tom Baker

using these kinds of tactics,

Leland McKenzie would
never touch my business,

he'd sooner die
than get in bed with me.

This isn't about helping him.

This is about helping you.

Very deft.

There's an offer
on the table, Mr. Wendle.

Accept it or reject it.

Okay.

You got a deal, Ms. Shays.

Please call me Ros.

[both laugh]

You know something?
This is actually

better than being partner
because I could build

my own little practice
and still have time for Eric.

This partnership stuff's pretty
overrated if you ask me.

All that bonding
with corporate boneheads.

Can you imagine going on
a retreat with those guys?

Sitting in a mud bath between
Leland and Douglas?

[both laugh]

Hey, listen,
thanks for dinner, Abby.

Oh, hey, thank you,
for helping me make my stand.

I never couldn't have pulled it
off without your help.

Well, you have a big fan
in me, Abby.

You have a big fan in me,
too, C.J.

Aww!

Um...

I'm-- I'm sorry.
I have to-- I have to go home.

- I've-- I've gotta go.
- Okay.

[car door closes]

[engine sputtering]

[engine revving]

[solemn music]

Why in hell is Rosalind coming
to the meeting tomorrow?

Because Leland thinks
she can be of help.

- And I happen to--
- This is crazy.

Let's face it, Ann,
Rosalind's pretty damn good

at controlling a room.

If she can help us save
Feldcore,

then we can all keep our egos
in the drawer for a day.

- Well, I'm talking to Leland.
- Great. Be my guest.

[telephone ringing]

[telephone ringing]

- Hi.
- Hi.

Um, listen, I, uh...

Um...

I-- I wanted to...

About last night...

I was-- I was feeling very,
uh, indebted to you,

and probably very close
as well and-- and...

that's why, when you kissed me,
I-- I didn't push you away.

You kissed me back.

Yeah, well, I'd-- I'd sort of
like to forget the whole thing.

It's no big deal, Abby.

Look, it happened once,

it doesn't have to
affect our friendship.

Good. Good. Because,

I'm-- I'm not
physically attract...

- [sighs] I like men.
- So do I.

Oh. Then...

you mean, you're...

Flexible.

- I see.
C.J.: [chuckles] Relax, Abby.

It was just...

Well, the way the moonlight
hit your face the other night.

Look, in daytime,
you're not even that cute.

[laughing]

- Why did you kiss me back?
- I don't know. I...

I don't know, I guess I was
probably a little... curious.

I-- I don't know.
Why did you kiss me?

You-- you don't have to
answer that.

[chuckles]

Look, I didn't plan it.

And I hope you don't think
my helping you with Douglas

was part of some overall
design to seduce you.

[laughing] Oh, no.

No, don't be silly.

It is going to affect
our friendship, isn't it?

No. No, I don't think so.

Dr. Carlson: Step away, Greg.

Let Sean come out.

Now, let him out.

Let Sean come out now.

[sighs] I'm-- I'm sorry.

- Greg?
- Yes.

I don't know what else to do,
Your Honor.

We've been at this for over an
hour, I can't access him.

Your Honor,
under the circumstances,

- I have to move for a mistrial.
- What?

The Sean character made
testimony against my client.

We're being denied
our constitutional right to

confront that witness on cross
examination, therefore--

Oh, no you don't. You had
opportunity to cross yesterday.

When you asked for the
continuance, you knew the risk.

Bad judgment on my part then.

New trial on the grounds of
inadequate counsel.

Wrong. The case goes on,
Mr. Kuzak.

Greg, you have to let Sean out.

- Greg, you have to.
- I'm trying, Michael. I am.

I just can't.

Alright, then I'm not
representing you anymore.

What?

You murdered her,
you son of a bitch!

And you lied to me
to help you get off! Didn't you?

- That's enough, Mr. Kuzak!
- Come on, Greg's getting hurt.

- Sean, come out now!
- Let him go!

How dare you!

What gives you the right...

to be so abusive
with another human being?

My word. It's shameful.

- Who are you?
- I'm Camille Green.

And you have not right,
young man.

- Doctor?
- I've never met Camille.

[Michael sighs]

Excuse me, ma'am.

I would like to talk to Sean,
if you don't mind.

Well, you're not going to.
None of you are.

And you're to stay away
from Greggy, as well,

do you understand me?

My word!

What is your relationship
to Sean and Greg?

I'm their aunt.
I raised them.

And they're good boys,
both of them!

And they didn't kill
anybody, miss.

- How can you be so sure?
- Because I killed her.

Camille: I strangled
Sherril Eustis.

I'm not as brittle as I look.

I'm quite strong.

She caused my Greggy
so much pain.

And you of all persons,
Dr. Carlson, should understand,

I couldn't let her
continue to do this.

I'm always the one
that has to save my boys.

I saved Greggy from his father.

And I saved him from the hurt
of loving that woman forever.

What do you mean, you saved
Greg from his father?

They all thought it was
a suicide, didn't they?

Well, I wrote the note.

And I fired the gun.

He was...

touching Greggy.

Making him do...

unspeakable things.

Well, I had to...

to pro...

to protect him.

Talk to me, doctor.

I don't know
what to tell you, judge.

- What happened?
Dr. Carlson: Greg?

- Are you Greg?
- Yes.

Something happened.

Yeah.

Something happened.

Man 2: Thank you.

You've been awfully quiet,
Leland.

Rosalind: Hardly said two words.
- Sorry.

I guess I'm a little preoccupied
with tomorrow's meeting.

If Tom Baker loses Feldcore,
we lose Feldcore,

it's hard not to
think about that.

It's going to be fine.

To be totally honest, Rosalind,

I'm also a little
conflicted about you

being involved in this meeting.

- Why?
- Because it makes me look bad.

As if I need you.

I don't want Tom Baker
seeing that.

I don't need Ann Kelsey
seeing that.

Okay. As for me,

you said yourself you weren't
feeling confident.

Persuasion is my strength,
Leland, you know that.

If I can help save
Tom Baker's job,

anything else should be
secondary.

But if you don't want me there,

it certainly makes
no difference to me.

No. No,
it's best you be there.

We'll take all the help
we can get.

Whatever you want.

You decide.

[indistinctly chattering]

Ah, could I...

could I talk to Corrinne
alone for a minute?

I don't think
that would be wise.

Corrinne, please? Sooner or
later, you and I have to talk.

Okay.

Could you, uh,
could you excuse us?

I miss you.

I miss you, too, Arnie.

Look, I think I've been in the
divorce business long enough

to know what's going on here.

Are you going to tell me
what I'm feeling now, Arnie?

No. I guess I'm wondering since
I've admitted that I screwed up,

and, since I've pleaded
with you to take me back,

I'm just wondering why you
want to be so punishing.

Tell me about punishing.

Corrinne, I-- I don't-- I don't,
look, I don't want a fight here.

Drop the guard for a second
and just talk to me.

Please, if we're gonna
be leaving each other's lives,

just talk to me once
before you go.

Do you know
how much you hurt me?

Yes.

We can give it another
try though.

No, Arnie, I tried to
convince myself of that.

- But I can't.
- Please.

Why can't we just
give it another chance?

No, because...

as much as I love you,

I don't respect you.

I don't trust you.

And that's never
going to change.

Um, maybe we could, we could
just separate for a while.

No, Arnie,
I-- I have to be done.

I can't... I can't live
in the middle of this.

I can't survive
where I am now.

Let's just do it.

What'd you tell Chloe?

I told her that you wouldn't be
living with us anymore.

But she wants to see you.

She'd like to say good-bye.

We really are over, aren't we?

Yeah, we're over.

[door opens]

[door closes]

I've decided not to let this
case go to the jury.

I'm finding you not guilty
by reason of insanity.

I'm ordering that he be placed
in a State institution

for the criminally insane.

Well, that's prison.

Judge Mary: Mr. Edmonson, you
committed two vicious murders.

Doctor, the hospital
will make a recommendation,

but what do you consider
his prognosis to be?

We're making progress.

I think, eventually,
we'll get there.

Judge Mary: How long?

Dr. Carlson: Well, he's 90
percent there now, more or less.

The emergence of Camille
is a setback,

this is a person none of the
others fused with.

But I still think
we're going to make it.

Alright, well,
as far as I can tell,

there're only two personalities
that pose a threat to society.

That Sean and Camille. I'm going
to sentence the defendant

to the State institution,
provision will be made

so you can continue treatment.

It may not be necessary to wait
for a total cure.

If Sean and Camille
are extinguished,

I'll consider a petition to put
him on an outpatient status.

You're not putting my boys in
one of those awful places.

I won't let you.

- Mr. Edmonson.
Camille: Oh, no, no, no.

You're not going to put them
in a jail,

they'll be treated like rats
in there.

I won't hear of it.
Oh, no, no.

Your Honor, I'd like to
talk to Camille...

in private.

Hey, what's the matter, you
don't return your phone calls?

I was going to buzz you,
it's just, it's been a wild day.

Ah-huh.

I was sent two tickets to the
premiere of Runt Ranger,

you have any interest?

- Tonight?
- Ah-huh.

I couldn't get a sitter
this fast. Thanks though.

Okay.

It's supposed to be terrible,
you know.

What is?

Runt Ranger.

How 'bout renting
a decent movie instead?

Have dinner at my house.
I have surround sound.

[laughs] Okay.

- You're on.
- 8 o'clock. Don't be late.

Oh, Abby, one small favor.

Wear that tight little
black skirt

you had on
at the Christmas party.

Kidding, Abby.

[laughing]

You're easy.

You're a real jerk, Lamb.

[Cara laughs]

Man 3: Don't worry about me.

What's going on?

Camille has totally taken over.

I don't understand. How-

Judging from her memories,

she's been there over
30 years.

She raised both Sean and Greg
since they were babies.

She's just been locked up
inside.

Well, why's she coming out now?

The ultimate protector.

By becoming the dominant,

maybe even sole personality...

Greg and Sean will never have to
experience prison life.

But as long as he stays Camille
he'll stay locked up.

That's exactly
what she has to know.

Go in there as a lawyer,
a judge, tell her,

she has to let Greg out.

Camille.

I'm Michael Kuzak.

Oh, I know who you are,
young man.

- Could I please talk to Greg?
- Oh, I'm sorry, no.

I realize how much
you want to help him but...

I know what's best.

Camille, you have to go away.

If you don't, Greg and Sean

will spend the rest of
their lives in jail.

Do you understand that?

Oh, no, no.

They're not going to jail.

You see,
I've put them to sleep.

- Oh God.
- Camille, please.

You've got to let them out.

It's is best this way.

I've spared them
all the suffering.

They were such wonderful
children.

I wish you'd know them
when they were little.

I used to sing "Puff, The Magic
Dragon" to them every night.

- Oh, how they loved that song.
- Camille.

You have to let me speak
with Greg.

♪ Dragons live forever ♪

♪ Not so little boys ♪

♪ Painted wings
and ceiling strings ♪

♪ Make way for other toys ♪

♪ One grey night it happened ♪

♪ Jackie Paper came no more ♪

♪ And Puff The Mighty Dragon ♪

♪ He ceased his fearless roar ♪

[door opens]

Right in here.

- Allen.
- Tom.

Well, nice little team
assembled.

Alright, let's not waste
everybody's time.

You said you had a proposal.

Yes, and it's very simple.
We avoid a nasty and divisive

fight in front
of the board next week,

by you voluntarily
stepping down today.

Now why would I do that?

To avoid a public
and private humiliation

caused by the revelation
of your arrest

three years ago
for soliciting prostitutes.

We have evidence of your
bribing assistant district

attorney to drop the charges.

I have connections with certain
people in the D.A.'s office.

Here's a copy of the secret memo
your lawyers sent to

ADA L.T. on the matter.

- Let me see that.
- This is blackmail. And I'm--

This is me thinking of the
good of the company.

Something this serious
has to be brought

to the board's attention.

Unless, of course,
you step down.

Assuming you can prove this,

what kind of a deal
are you prepared to make.

I'm not going to make any deal.

You might have to, Tom.

My God, if this is true.

Leland: That's very good,
Rosalind.

The other night when you
asked to look in the file,

I didn't quite trust you.

God knows I wanted to.

- But I didn't.
- What are you talking about?

I'm talking about the fact
that Tom Baker

was never arrested
for solicitation.

I wrote those memos myself
the other day

and planted them in the file
to see what you'd do with them.

You lying conniving bitch.

Will somebody please explain
to me what's going on?

Stop talking, Mr. Wendle.

Was it to see me fall?

Was it all a charade just to...

Look, Tom, they've got
nothing on you.

I see no reason to entertain
this meeting any longer.

If you'll excuse me.

Leland. This was to help you.

The deal was he was gonna leave
Feldcore's business here,

all of this was for you.

Even if that's true,
you would have destroyed him

in the process.

I'm sorry.

- You got the memo from her?
- Come on, let's go.

Hold on a second.
The deal just changed.

You're resigning from
the company.

Or else, we go public with your
little blackmailing scheme

and you get thrown out
without any settlement at all.

Hey, you guys
made up the lies here, not--

But you tried to use them
for extortion.

You promised us
Feldcore's business

in exchange for that
information.

You think the board of directors
are gonna stand for that?

You make me sick.

As for you,
I admire your consistency.

Let me put together some
severance numbers and then--

Hey, Kevin,
I have not intention of--

Be quiet, Allen.
Just keep your mouth shut.

I'll get back to you
with a proposal.

Well?

- It worked.
Leland: Yes!

- You guys are something.
- You were incredible, Rosalind.

- Brilliant.
- Me? What about Leland?

Did you see his performance?

- Congratulations, Tom.
Ann: It was fantastic.

- Thank you, Leland.
- And you.

[laughing]

[crickets chirping]

Does she know I'm coming?

Yeah.

Hey.

Hi, Arnie.

Arnold: Hi, sweetheart.

Boy, have I missed you.

One there and one there.

Come on, let's get these
covers up over you.

It's my job to
tuck you in tonight

and I am going to do it
just right.

[Chloe chuckles softly]

[indistinct]

Get all snug.

All snuggy, snuggy, snuggy.

All snuggy, snuggy, snuggy,
snuggy, snug.

- Arnie?
- Yeah?

Why do you have to leave?

Well, it's, um,
kind of complicated.

But, uh...

your mom...

your mom and I feel it's best

for me not to live here
anymore and, ah--

Is mommy making you leave?

No.

Oh, no.

No, it's, uh...

this is my fault that
this is happening

and your mom, she, uh...

she's gonna need you to be
extra good for a little while

because this is a little hard
for everybody.

So, you and I are going to
have to make a secret pact,

where you help take care
of her, okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Now don't you be kicking
these blankets off now,

it's gettin' kind of cold
outside and we don't want you

gettin' pneumonia, do we?

We don't want Tracy
getting anything either.

Are you ever coming back?

Not to live.

I don't think so.

I love you very much, Chloe.

I love you too.

[melancholic music]
