[toilet flushing]

It's not over until it's over.

We got a shot.

I thought this court
was conservative.

It is very.

But I believe in big upsets.

Scalia here...

will do most of the questioning,

assuming that he can keep
Bader Ginsburg quiet.

He could help us.

He's a Reagan judge.

He is a strict constructionist
on the Constitution.

He could be an ally.

Kennedy and Rehnquist,
forget about it.

Sandra Day O'Connor too.

If it would be up to them,
they would do away
with the Miranda.

Breyer's new. We don't know
anything about him yet.

‐What about Thomas?
‐Never speaks.

Not one word from the bench
in two years.

He just sits there quiet
with his Diet Coke.

Mr. Wambaugh, are you sure
we have a chance?

I mean, we're trying
to overthrow a murder conviction
with a technicality.

This is the Supreme Court
of the United States.

They don't consider
the Constitution a technicality.

I have to take command.

When I go into the great hall,
I have to...

I have to rise up to the...
occasion.

Mr. Wambaugh?

I have to rise up... up...

Mr. Wambaugh.

[theme music playing]

[theme music ends]

What the devil are you doing?

I'm all right!
Let me up!

If we just just take you
to Jill's, will you shut up?

‐All right.
‐All right.

All right, let's just
take him to Jill's.

‐Come on.
‐Hurry up, hurry up.

I gotta talk to Rehnquist,

I gotta talk to Breyer...

They're all waiting for me
in the Supreme Court.

‐Wambaugh, settle down, please.
‐Take care of the office.

I'll be right back.

‐Hurry, hurry.
‐[Max] You'll be fine.

I didn't think he was breathing.

‐He is, he's conscious.
‐He just went down.

I was standing right there
and he just dropped...

Paramedics thinks he's fine.
We have Jill waiting for him

and an ambulance standing by
to take him to Thayer,
if necessary.

Okay, thank you.

Honey, why don't you
come with us to the station.

No, I have‐‐ I have work.
There's this‐‐

the Supreme Court next week
and oral arguments...

Honey, you're upset.
You shouldn't be alone.

A heart attack?

I'm only 72.

Well, EKG indicates it.

No Wambaugh has ever had
a heart attack.

Well, you had
some kind of coronary episode.
I know this for sure.

It's over.

Prescribe me
some nitroglycerines,

and we can be done with it.

You had a heart attack.

You can't just be
done with it, you oaf.

All right.
Now, that doesn't help.

Uh, look...

‐I wanna take you to Chicago.
‐[Douglas] What?

‐Chicago?
‐Yes, there's a hospital there

with the most advanced testing.
It's way ahead of Thayer.

I don't wanna take any chances.

You're talking
like this is serious.

[Jimmy] What's this?

[Max] Oh, Kenny wanted
to take another look

at the Ingram's crime scene.

He had these pictures blown up.

Why?

Well, I was thinking, in case
the guy could be innocent...

The man's not innocent.

I'm just saying, what if he is.

There's no harm
in me taking another look.

[Jimmy sighs]

What?

Did Wambaugh ask you to do this?

Well, what difference
does that make?

This case goes
to Supreme Court next week.

If the Supreme Court thinks
we reopened it, Kenny,

they're gonna doubt us.
Don't you get it?

Wambaugh positioned you.

All right, look,
as far as Wambaugh goes,

he doesn't know
we did anything,
does he, Kenny?

No.

So let's keep it that way.

Wambaugh never needs to find out
that we reopened this case.

Which it wasn't, officially.

So, we're fine.

Nobody says anything,
he never finds out...

We're fine.

Since you started
working for Wambaugh,

you've taken my head off
anytime I've tried
to take advantage

‐of a father‐daughter
relationship.
‐Mmm‐hmm.

You're in my office today
as my daughter.

You're upset,
and I brought you here
out of concern.

So you've learned
what you learned
as a direct result

of our father‐daughter
relationship.

‐Daddy, it's not that simple.
‐It's is that simple.

You know what you know because‐‐

The problem is, I do know it.

And I have an obligation
to the client‐‐

You're not a lawyer.
You're just an assistant.

You're like a secretary,
Kimberly.

You don't have obligations
to the client.

Is that right?

No, I'm feeling
much better, Daddy.
I'm gonna go home.

Kim.

Jimmy can I...
talk to her alone for a sec?

You and I
have always been friends.

And I don't mean to take
advantage of that, but...

you're the one that convinced me
to dig into the case.

First thing I gotta know is...

was I setup
like Jimmy says I was?

[sighs]

I honestly don't know.

Wambaugh asked me to ask you,
I admit that.

Maybe he was using you,
but I wasn't.

I promise.

Kimberly, my neck is hanging out
far enough on this already.

First, with the confession...

Please, don't tell Wambaugh
what I did.

I don't wanna tell him,

especially if he did set you up.

But even though
I'm not a lawyer,

the obligation to the client
extends to me too.

And I have information here
that can help Brian Latham.

How can I not use it?

Kimberly...

I don't have a choice.

Something's wrong.
This EKG looks normal.

Hello, I'm Dr. Geiger.

Hello, I'm Dr. Brock.
This is Douglas Wambaugh.

‐Uh, his tests look‐‐
‐Hi. How old are you?

He's 72.

Okay.
I've looked at the other tests,

plus which with what I see now,
you probably got coronary spasm.

‐I was thinking of putting him
on a Prinivil regiment.
‐Well, you'd be thinking wrong.

Even though
the spasm's in the heart,
the problem's in the brain.

[Jill and Douglas] What?

I'm sorry, you are, again?

I'm Dr. Brock.

I brought this patient here.

I'm the primary.

Oh. Well, we got him now.
You can go.

‐No, I'm gonna stay.
‐Fine.

It could be a lesion.
I want to schedule an MRI.
See what's up there.

There's nothing up there.

I'm Douglas Wambaugh
and I'm a lawyer.

I know all about about
you big city hospitals

where you schedule
unnecessary operations

‐to qualify for federal grants.
‐Okay, Doug, hush.

There's nothing in my head
and you're not going in there!

‐[Jill] Doug.
‐Look at his shoes!

I'll schedule the MRI
for tomorrow.

Hope you enjoy your stay,
both of you.

That was not a nice man.

So, you told him.

As I explained, I had to.

Your job.

Yes, my job.

18 years old...

student in high school,
still living in this house
under my roof...

Point?

You're a member of this family.

You can be a member
of the workforce.

But while you're under this roof
family should come first.

‐Yep.
‐[Jimmy] Where are you going?

To the office.

Isn't that where you go
when you don't like

what's going on here
under this roof?

[door closes]

Eat.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

I was working
in Wambaugh's office.

Big case next week, you know.

Uh‐huh.

Anyway, I just came by
to first say again

that I wasn't trying to use you
or set you up.

I can't speak for Mr. Wambaugh
but my motives were...

Kim, I know.

Okay.

The other thing,
I wanted to say thank you.

For what?

Well, my father is punishing me
for sticking by the client.

He doesn't think my job is real.

But you do.

I appreciate that.

Can I ask you one thing?

[Kenny] What?

Well, you mentioned earlier

how we've always been friends,

which is true...

Uh...

But you were looking at me...

like...

I don't know, like,
we have this kind of connection.

Actually, it's something
I've always felt

but hearing you say that today
was the first time...

I was sure you felt it.

Do you know
what I'm talking about?

'Cause... I sort of don't.

It's getting late, Kim,

and you should probably go home.

♪

Goodnight.

[knocking on door]

How's Doug doing?

Um... Oh, they're in Chicago.

My mom thinks
he's gonna be okay.

But she just wants to be sure.

You're a senior in high school,
and you're my boss' daughter.

I know. I apologize.
I was feeling...

a little weak.

So it's over and done.

It'll never happen again.

Do you want it
to be over and done?

You're a senior in high school.
I work for your father.

Yes, this you've said.

Kenny.

[sighs]

I don't know, you know.
Whether I...

Look, I'm gonna be honest.

I've been replaying
that kiss last night

over and over in my mind.

I can't stop thinking about it.

That's not saying that...

I want something
to happen between us
because it can't.

It shouldn't, it can't.

But I also want you to know

that I ain't
walking away from it

because I'm not interested.

That isn't it.

Okay.

‐I admire your honesty.
‐Do me favor.

Stop admiring me, would you?

That's sort of probably
what's affecting me.

People don't look up to me
too often these days.

Just do me a favor
and don't admire me, okay?

Okay.
It never happened.

It was just a slip.

That's good. A slip.

Yeah. A slip.

We're just friends.

Just friends.

Mmm‐hmm.

♪

What's the matter?

I'm not sure.

Something doesn't feel right.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Excuse me, Dr. Geiger.

‐I'm sure you're
a very busy man.
‐I am.

But, even so, you don't just
ride into a patient's room
like freight train

and tell him
he has a brain tumor.

Oh, I apologize.
I only do that

when a patient
could have a brain tumor.

Well, that's ridiculous.

‐It was a mild coronary.
‐You sure about that?

How long did you take
to look at the test results?

‐About a minute and a half.
‐Well, I took two hours.

I've also treated
this patient for 6 years.

But a minute and a half,
you're right, I'm wrong?

Actually, after 30 seconds
I knew you were wrong.

The extra minute,
I was deciding what to do.

‐Dr. Geiger, look, I‐‐
‐Dr. Brook, I'm sure you're
a very good little physician.

I firmly believe
more med students
should go into general practice.

It'd be applauded. But...

This isn't Green Acres.
You're at Chicago Hope.

And the most profound
contribution you could make here

would be to step aside.

And I mean that in a good way.

I am the attending.

I will participate

in all the decisions
from now on.

I will not step aside.
Do we understand?

Yeah, I think so.
You don't like being wrong,

and you resent me
for being right.

Now, we have a lovely cafeteria.

Perhaps you could go there,
get yourself
a nice cup of coffee,

Ponder all the possibilities
that aspirin,

or whatever other miracle drug,
supports your practice.

In the meantime,
I'll try to save your patient.

You're an arrogant bastard.

That was very rude, wasn't it?

This feels like
the CIA or something.

Look...

Here's the view.

I think you like me
and I know I like you.

The question is
what are we gonna do about it.

What do you want to do about it?

I wanna see you,
but it's not so simple.

What do you wanna do, Kenny?

I wanna see you.

Then see me.

I'm not gonna sneak around.

I went the secret route
with Rachel Harris

and I promised
I'd never do it again,

and I won't.

I admire that.

Sorry.

Thing is, if it ever gets out,
people are gonna flip,

especially your father.

But maybe not if we go to him.

If he hears it from us,
he'll respect it.

Are you out of your mind?

If he finds out
by some surprise,
he'll go nuts.

So, if we just tell him...

He'll just fire me!

He knows you, he like you.

He trusts me.

Maybe he'll surprise us both
and be happy about it.

Jimmy?

You heard what I said?

I think he heard.

Nothing has happened between us.

We're just here to tell you
that we're interested in dating.

We know it'll be
a little controversial,

and out of respect to you,
we just wanted
to tell you beforehand.

You wanna date my daughter?

Yes, sir.
I know she's only 18,

but she's pretty mature for age,
probably more so than me.

So the age difference
isn't a big deal.

I'd like your permission,
but I'm not here to ask for it.

We're just here to inform you.

You two... together?

Yes, sir.

We may not even end up
liking each other, but...

Look, Jimmy, I know
you gotta be kind of freaked.

But you have me word,
you can trust me.

That's a promise from me to you.

A promise.

Uh‐huh.

Uh‐huh.

Uh‐huh.

[exhales]

I'm thrown. I gotta admit I'm...

shocked.

[Jimmy chuckles nervously]

But that aside,

I'll have you shot dead
if you go near her.

‐Daddy, that's not funny.
‐[Jimmy] Look...

I know I can't
control my daughter.

My deputy, that I can.

So much as hold here hand,
Kenny, and you are fired.

I feel like I'm in Disneyland.

[Dr. Geiger over intercom]
Just try to stay still, sir.

[Douglas]
The acoustics are fine.

Do you mind if I sing?

I'd like to hear
my voice in here.

Plus, if a man can sing a song,
then he's not sick.

Do whatever you want, sir.
Just try to remain still.

[Douglas continues singing]

I'll get a neuro to confirm,
but see that tissue patch?

‐Demyelination.
‐Yes.

‐That's the dorcel nucleus
of the vegus‐‐
‐I know what that is.

‐I didn't say you didn't.
‐I heard your tone.

‐I don't need your attitude.
‐Similar to sensitive.

If you wanna be Ben Casey,

‐go to Hollywood.
‐I'm willing to overlook it.

‐So give me your opinion doctor.
‐[sighs] I don't know.

He's 72 years old.
It doesn't make sense.

Well, he could have gotten it
a long time ago. Remits.

But wouldn't there be symptoms?

Mild case, not a lot.

But the way he walks,
and the tremor,
and that lesion there...

There's no doubt
that your patient
has multiple sclerosis.

[Douglas singing]

Still here?

I didn't realize
I had permission to leave .

I didn't dare
take a step without
getting your consent first.

He's ten years older than you.

There's a difference
in maturity...

Daddy, do you really mean
to pick maturity as the issue?

So, maybe we should
define the term first.

What's the standard?
Would it be statements like,

"Date my daughter
and I'll have you shot dead"?

Is that a level
of grown up maturity
I'm just not capable of?

You're not grown up
to talk to me like that,
young lady.

Yeah, Daddy, I am.
And you just refuse to get that.

I'm old enough
to make my own decisions.

I'm even old enough
to call you an ass

should you ever act like one,

‐not that you ever would.
‐Hey.

I'm not a secretary type thing

whose job is meaningless.

I am so sick of you
treating me like I'm ten!

I can date the man
I choose to date.

And today I choose Kenny.

And then what?
You fall in love?

I suppose he wants that.
He's 29 years old...

He might be ready for marriage.

Now what about college,
Kimberly?

How are you going to go
to college raising children?

We just wanna go to a movie.

It's never just a movie.
Not with Kenny.

You'll dress nice.
You'll share popcorn.

He's not gonna stop
at buttered flavoring.
The man heats up!

Are we on candid camera?

‐He's gonna want more. He's‐‐
‐Daddy, first of all,

I am totally capable
of consenting or not consenting.

And, unlike you,
Kenny will respect me.

And second, I've already
done more with boys
than share popcorn!

‐No, never. You're not‐‐
‐Daddy...

I know you'd still like
to believe that I'm a virgin,

but it has to be difficult,

particularly because
you were the one who caught me

in bed with Billy O'Connell!

But, Kimberly,
you might end up liking him!

Are you on medication?

You won't date Kenny Lacos.

Oh, I will.

Then I'll fire him.
Do you want that to happen?

[knocking on door]

Kim, I'll pick you up at 8.

What the hell are you doing?

Taking your daughter
to the movies.

You're fired!

What?

You heard me.
You're fired!

Wear something nice.

[Douglas]
There's nothing wrong
with my brain.

You're just trying to keep me
from going to the Supreme Court.

There's nothing wrong
with my brain.

Mr. Wambaugh...

you have multiple sclerosis.

I couldn't have that.

Tell him, Jill, he's wrong.

He's says that
because I'm Jewish.

‐Excuse me?
‐Doug...

I'm afraid he's right.

It was the MS lesion
on your brain

that could have triggered
the artery spasm.

Ah, this is a doctor conspiracy.

You get a big referral fee,
he gets to operate,

and another lawyer
gets to go to Washington.

Next, you'll be
calling me paranoid.

Where's Myriam?

I sent her to temple.

Somebody has got to pray.

What is this...

this multiple sclerosis?

It affects
the central nervous system,

mainly the brain,
the spinal chord
and the optic nerves.

What causes it?

[softly] We don't know.

[Douglas]
Well, how do you get rid of it?

You don't.
It isn't curable.

Then I don't have it.
I can't even pronounce it.

Here's what I think.

The only thing you know
I got for sure is insurance.

So you invented the big disease
with the big name

so you could bill my carrier
and keep me away
from Sandra Day O'Connor.

You can't!

I waited too long.

You can't make me sick.

‐You and Kimberly?
‐It doesn't involve you, Max.

‐Kenny...
‐Doesn't involve you, Max.

[Max] Look, I don't mean
to pass judgment, but...

But what?

Come on,
she's a beautiful girl, I know.

What man wouldn't be tempted.
But to ruin a career

because of maybe
too long of a dry spell?

‐You gotta think with your head.
‐If I wanted to jeopardize work

for the sake of some sex,
I would have done it with you.

Let's face it, Max,
we've been wanting

to rip each other's clothes off
for three years.

And we both know
how good it would be, right?

Well, I've never
thought about it...

much.

Me neither.

We're not meant
to be together,
you and me.

But Kim?
We get each other.

‐Are you in love with her?
‐Of course not.

We haven't even
had a date yet.

Well, then why?

‐Why risk everything?
‐I can talk to her.

You know what the biggest lie
of all is, Max?

Plenty of fish in the sea ‐
that one.

I'm 29
and I've never met anybody.

Kim ‐ maybe she's a possible,
I don't know.

But a possible is a possible.

I'm lonely.

You know what that's like?

I've read about it.

People think I'm stupid
to go for Kim.

So what?
They think I'm stupid anyway.

Especially Jimmy.

So the choices here are
to be stupid and lonely...

or just be stupid.

Did you schtup him?

‐What?
‐[Zack] Kenny...

Matthew says
you're schtupping him.

Well, Matthew is lying again.

What's "schtupping"?

He wouldn't tell me that part.

What's it mean?

Uh...

Well, it's when two people...

share the same library card.

What's the big deal about that?

Nothing.
And that's Matthew,

always making a big deal
about nothing.

You like Kenny?

Yeah, I do.

Kenny like you?

I think so.

Then maybe you should be
like boyfriend and girlfriend.

[Jimmy] She's 18 years old.

They just want to date, Jimmy.

I can't believe
you are condoning this.

You know what?
Kenny's right about one thing.

The big guarantee
that sooner or later
everybody meets Mr. Right ‐

not true.

Most people settle on Mr. Close

after they give up on Mr. Right.

Kenny is Mr. Right for Kimberly?

I'm not saying that
they're made for each other.

[sighs]

When I was 19,

I fell in love with this guy;
he was 26.

And my father
did just what you're doing.

He said, "Forget it.

19? No way!"

And I listened to him.

And now, here I am,
nine years later,

wondering if I'll ever...

Loneliness...

lives up to it's horrible
reputation, Jimmy.

I hope you never know it.

There is no justice
in this world,

no justice for Brian Latham.

He was railroaded
into this conviction.

The Rome Police decided
that since he was a drifter

he's not entitled
to civil rights.

It isn't fair.

Life should be fair.

It has to be fair.

‐Things aren't fair!
‐[thuds]

Are you nuts?

You just decked
the Chief Justice.

I wanna leave this hospital.

You can leave tomorrow
after we finish the tests,

maybe even tonight.

But first, uh, you should
probably speak with
our house psychiatrist.

‐You're talking
to giant posters.
‐I had them sent.

‐I have to prepare.
‐Mmm‐hmm.

For my own education,
uh, they ever talk back?

Look, stop making fun of me.

I'm sick of people
making fun of me.

I made it to the Supreme Court
and I'm going to be there.

The you'll all
have to stop laughing,
everybody.

If you have no objection...

I'd like to have you sedated

'cause I believe you're a kook.

Excuse me?
What are telling this patient?

Only that he's a little wacko.
But I'm sure he already knows.

[Jill] He's just been diagnosed
with a lesion on his brain.

‐You have the insensitivity
to stand there‐‐
‐[Dr. Geiger] Please, don't...

don't yell at me.

Volume has no affect.

Who the hell
do you think you are?

Who am I?

I'm 2.3 million dollars a year,
that's who I am.

I make that much
because I got
a very busy practice.

And I have taken
time out from that practice
to treat a patient

who talks to cardboard judges,

while his physician
keeps interfering

when she should be back
in Rome, Wisconsin,

tending to her
veterinary practice.

At least have the decency
to appreciate my effort.

Well, let me tell you something,
Mr. 2.3 million...

‐Is that after taxes?
‐[Jill] I am a board certified
general surgeon.

I am qualified to work here
in your precious
Chicago Hope hospital.

I could work here.
Do you know why I don't?

Our preference
that patients survive?

[Jill] No, I would like to be
a real doctor.

I wanna know my patients.

I don't wanna be
a specialist meat‐cutter

who does body work.
I wanna know my patients.

Oh, I'm sure
that brings them profound joy.
But, bottom line,

you didn't know
what this patient had, I did.

Look, I don't know much about
where you people come from.

What the hell give?
He's punching out posters.

You, I don't know
what you're acting out against.

But you're both
very strange people.

You're very strange.

You only say this
because I'm Jewish.

‐I'm Jewish.
‐A‐ha.

He says it
because he's Jewish.

I can't give you another doctor.

Jeffrey Geiger has to cause
more coronaries than he fixes.

I've never met
a more antagonistic personality.

‐What does that say about‐‐
‐You also have never met anybody

‐with more talent.
‐[scoffs]

What is it with you people?
You think you're so special.

This may not even be
the best hospital in Chicago,

much less
the rest of the country.

More people go to that other‐‐
what's it's name?

We never mention the other one.

Please.

Look, Dr. Brock...

You have a nice life in Rome?
Family? Kids?

Yes.

[Dr. Watters] Well‐rounded life?

‐What's your point?
‐My point is
that Dr. Geiger is a specialist.

His entire life
is in this hospital.

While you're reading
to your children,

he's perfecting
his artificial heart.

While you're attending
PTA meetings,

he's digging into
his sixth bypass procedure
of the day.

He doesn't have time
to run for mayor of his town.

‐[Jill sighs]
‐[Dr. Watters] I'm sure you
would have made a great mayor.

I have no doubt
you're a wonderful mother.

I can see firsthand
you're a good doctor.

But you're not him.

It may make you angry
that you're not him.

Please, have the sense
to not let that anger
compromise your patient, hmm?

Do me a favor, Matthew?

Don't fill up Zack
with a lot of crap?

This is hard enough
on me already
without you adding to it.

If it's so tough,
why are you doing it?

[exhales nervously]

[doorbell ringing]

[door opens]

This is betrayal.

I came to pick up Kimberly.

She's not ready.

Won't you come in?

I'd love to.

I'd like to know why.

I don't have
to explain myself to you.

Consenting adults.

Well, how about
you explain it me...
out of respect?

You've been
my second‐in‐command.

Respect is a two‐way thing.

Where is this coming from?

At what point
did we stop being friends?

‐I mean, what the hell‐‐
‐We've never been friends!

You've been a boss,
I've been an underling.

You give orders, I take 'em.

Is that your idea of friendship?

What the hell is wrong
with me dating Kimberly?

That I'm older?
That I'm too grown up for her?

We both know that's a lie.
You of all people know

that I'm not too grown up
for your daughter.

Maybe you're mad
because what you really prefer

is that I be Zack's playmate.

Son of a bitch.

Max told me about that
little fit you threw last year

against Jill's father.

You went nuts
because he didn't think

you were good enough
for his daughter.

Well, who's judging who today?

This has nothing to do
with how I feel about you.

Don't lie to me.

You don't think
I'm good enough
for Kimberly.

Good forbid
she should end up
with the village idiot.

Well, your daughter
is going out on a date
with the office clown.

How does that
make you feel, Jimmy?

Is that why we're going out?

For you to get back
at my father?

No.

Yes, it is.

I think I'll take rain check.

‐Kenny.
‐I'm talking to her!

This is my house!

Call the cops.

If I wanted
to upset your father,
I would have stayed on as deputy

and continued
screwing up his cases.

See, that's it, Kenny.
You feel like a screw‐up,

and you're mad at him
for making you feel that way.

So, dating his daughter
is payback.

Where the hell
did you come up with that?

Easy ‐ I'm doing the same thing.

Look, I'm not saying
that I'm not attracted to you,

I have been for a long time,

and maybe
you with me too, but...

I don't know.

Isn't it a little funny
that we both decide to act on it

when we feel dismissed?

Or, isn't it a little strange,
that the person

making us both angry
is my father?

He's never taken me seriously
as Wambaugh's assistant.

He does treat me like a child,

so I try and act un‐childlike
with one of his deputies.

And you, he's treating you
like an idiot at work.

So you go seeking
approval or affection
or whatever

from his daughter.

This isn't about us.

This is about him.

We're both punishing him.

Why?

I haven't done anything
to either one of you.

Daddy, you parent us to death.

Life is more about
making you proud.

I swear, Daddy,
trying to live up to your...

It's like living in a prison.

I want you
to be disgusted with me,
you hear me?

If you were ashamed of me
it would be such a relief,

the pressure would be off.

I don't wanna
be perfect, damn it!

I hate that you're perfect.
I just hate it!

Where you been, young man?

The library closes at 7:30.

I had to wait for Cynthia Parks.

I'm schtupping her.

[all arguing]

‐[Jill] Stop it now.
‐[Douglas] Make them stop!

‐[Dr. Geiger] Get some
restraints in here, stat.
‐No restraints.

‐He's not jumping out a window
on my shift, got it?
‐Would you shut up?

‐[Dr. Watters] What the hell
is going on here?
‐What is going on

is I have an erratic patient
who is agitated

by a devastating diagnosis

delivered by
this despicable, contemptible,

‐cardiothoracic a‐‐!
‐[Dr. Watters] Easy... Hold it!

‐Already she knows me.
‐You know, this may be
a great hospital

but you people are no better
than anybody else.

If you ask me,
you people suck!

Yes, we do.
Let's go, Jeffrey, come on.

Well, let me tell you about her.

[Douglas] Keep those doctors
out of here.

All they care
is creating a big bill...

What's wrong with you?!

Didn't you hear?
I'm sick in the head.

‐Oh, Doug.
‐They wanna create a big bill.
That's the problem.

MS isn't the end of the world.

Do you realize
you may have had this
since you were in your twenties?

You said yourself; the gate,
the frequent need to urinate,

that's been happening
for 50 years.

Well, I just thought
big feet, small bladder.

[Jill] Well, the point is
that it hasn't progressed

and if it hasn't by now,
I don't think it's going to.

[Douglas] I know.
Every time I trip
or slur a word

I'm gonna think
it's 'cause of a lesion
on my brain.

[Jill] Oh, you're just the same
as you've always been.

We're gonna give you medicine
for your heart.

The only difference
between today and a week ago

is today you know.

Can I still go
to the Supreme Court?

Oh, of course you can.

I have to go, I must.

Why?

Why this sudden quest
to go to the Supreme Court?

To make the world
stop laughing at you?

This ridicule
that you say you feel,
where is it? Because...

I don't see it.

You mean I just think it

because I'm sick in the head.

You know...

when I first came here
to this hospital...

I saw all the things
I was missing out on.

And then
when I misdiagnosed you,

I just hated Rome again.

And I suddenly felt inadequate.

And that's why with Geiger...

[sighs]

But I don't need to work
at a big Chicago hospital

to prove that
I'm a good doctor.

And you don't need to go
to the Supreme Court

to prove
that you're a great lawyer.

You're a very smart man,
I know this.

Judge Bone knows it.

And you should know it too.

Your husband doesn't.

He said to Kimberly...

"Don't set your standards
by Wambaugh." I heard him.

Well, Jimmy sometimes
questions your choices

but never your intelligence.

So why does Henry Bone
always yell at me to shut up?

Why does he always
tell me to get out.

And why did they throw me
out of the temple last year?

[Jill] Because
you're exasperating!

Part of the fun
of having you in the room
is trying to throw you out.

But believe me, I promise you,

we're always glad
that you're in the room.

With every
"Douglas Wambaugh
for the frogman!

Douglas Wambaugh
for the steam roller!"

we all smile inside.

You're a character.
[chuckles]

So, go to the Supreme Court
and make yourself proud

if that's what you want.

But, believe me,

you have nothing to prove
to the rest of us.

♪

[Jimmy] Kimberly...

I have never demanded
you be perfect.

Daddy, you ooze
that demand every day.

It's with every look
you give me,

it's in your voice
every time you open your mouth.

Don't let you down.
"Don't let Daddy down.
Whatever you do,

make sure he's proud of you."

Well, I'm tired of that.

Maybe that's the reason
I went to work for Wambaugh.

Maybe that's what I'm doing
with Kenny.

Maybe I wanna disappoint you,
I don't know.

But the thought
of dating the man that you like,

or going to college
and being successful

to make you proud,
giving you all the credit,

that's sickening to me.

I don't know
what I'm hearing here.

[Kimberly] And I don't know
exactly what I'm saying.

But when I fail,

I feel it's me,
it's my doing.

But when I succeed,
I feel it's your doing

because you brought me up
to be perfect.

You demanded it.

Well, it's killing me,
and it's gonna kill Matthew,

and it's gonna kill Zack,

I don't know
how you got this way,

Mr. Moral and Mr. Righteous.

It's like you're living
in a prison.

Why do you always
have to be perfect?

Do you think we're gonna
love you less if you're not?

Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

I stand before you today
with a lesion on my brain.

[chuckles] A good lawyer
could always adjust.

‐Of course he can.
‐[Dr. Geiger]
Checking out tonight?

We wanna leave early
on account of you being
such a horrible person.

That's my mission.
To free up the beds.

Mr. Wambaugh,
take your medication.

You'll be fine.

I was never sick.

Right.
Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Hold it.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

[Douglas] Go.

I feel so well.
It's off to Washington.

I heard the things
you were saying to him.

You are some doctor.

I mean that.

Thank you.

‐He is something,
that guy, huh?
‐[Jill chuckles] Yeah.

Maybe one day
I'll get to know my patients.

[Jill chuckles]

I doubt that many of them
would like you.

See you.

See ya.

Kenny has his job back
if he wants it.

Good.

Kimberly...

When I...

When I fell in love
with your mother...

I was still married to Lydia,

your real mother,

well, your biological mother...
Anyway...

Whatever my problems
with Lydia...

I was nonetheless
guilty of infidelity.

And...

there was a two‐year‐old
child involved. You.

The day Lydia moved out...

she was standing
in the doorway...

and I saw the way
she looked at you...

and I saw the look
on your face.

You knew.

After Lydia left...

you said to me,

"Where's Mommy going?"

I never got over that.

How...

How could I cause Lydia
so much pain?

How could I hurt my own...
two‐year‐old child?

That day I promised
that I would thereafter

try to be perfect,
to be moral.

I promised that I would never...

do anything
to cause that look...

on my children's faces.

[voice breaking]
Daddy, that was a long time ago.
When are you gonna get over it?

When are you?
