PREVIOUSLY ON "BOSTON LEGAL"...

DENNY GOT ENGAGED.

WHO IS IT THIS TIME?
BEVERLY BRIDGE.

THE WOMAN DENNY "CRANED"
IN THE COATROOM

AT THAT CHARITY DINNER. IF DENNY
BECOMES INCAPACITATED...

I'M HAVING A STROKE.
SHE COULD BRING DOWN
THE FIRM.

MAYBE YOU'RE IN LOVE.
I AM DELIRIOUS WITH JOY.

HOW COME YOU'RE GETTING
INVOLVED WITH A DEAD GUY?

I, UH, TRY NOT
TO THINK ABOUT IT.

THERE IS NOTHING ROMANTIC
ABOUT THIS.

IT TURNS YOU INTO A CORPSE
BEFORE YOU DIE.

IT IS NOT TOO LATE
TO GET OUT.

I START CHEMO AGAIN TOMORROW.

OKAY.

***

(doorbell dings)

(doorbell dings)

(cash register beeps)

$2 EVEN.

THANK YOU.

(bell dings twice)

HELLO.
MAY I HELP YOU, MA'AM?

YES, YOU MAY, DEAR.

WHOA!
TAKE ALL THE MONEY
OUT OF THE DRAWER

AND PUT IT IN A BAG,
PLEASE.

YES.

OH, AND PUT SOME OF
THAT DELICIOUS BEEF JERKY

IN THERE, TOO.

***

(siren wails)

(chatter over police radio)

MR. SHORE,
SHE SAID TO CALL YOU.

THANK YOU, LAWRENCE.

IN A WAY, I SUPPOSE
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT.

OH, DEAR GOD HOW,
CATHERINE?

HOW IS IT THAT YOU HOLDING UP
A CONVENIENCE STORE

SUDDENLY BECOMES MY FAULT?

YOU SAID YOU WOULD HIRE ME
AS YOUR PERSONAL ASSISTANT

AFTER THE FIRM FIRED ME,

AND I TOOK YOU
AT YOUR LYING WORD.

BAD CATHERINE, BAD!

IT WAS A TERRIBLE THING
TO FORGET, AND I'M SORRY,

BUT YOU ARE IN
A LOT OF TROUBLE HERE.

WHAT ELSE WAS I TO DO?
A GAL'S GOT TO EAT.

AND ROBBERY ISN'T AS BAD
AS KILLING A MAN,

AND YOU GOT ME OFF
ON THAT.

AND YOU'VE DONE WONDERS
WITH YOUR SECOND CHANCE.

STAY HERE.

(bell dings)

GOOD EVENING.

I UNDERSTAND YOU RECENTLY
SUFFERED A ROBBERY.

YOU A LAWYER?

ACTUALLY, I'M HERE
MORE AS A FRIEND

TO THE BEFUDDLED OLD WOMAN
WHO...

ROBBED ME.
AH.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES
I HAVE BEEN HELD UP THIS YEAR?

FAR TOO MANY
FOR YOU TO APPRECIATE

HER LITTLE PRANK, I'M SURE.

MAY I ASK IF THAT'S
YOUR CAR OUT FRONT--

THE DATSUN WITH THE DENTS
IN THE SIDE?

YEAH.

I HAVE A FRIEND WHO...

HAS A FRIEND.

HE'S A MAGICIAN WITH BODYWORK.

HE'LL MAKE THOSE DENTS
DISAPPEAR, CHANGE THE COLOR.

HE'LL MAKE THAT DATSUN
LOOK EXACTLY LIKE

A LATE-MODEL B.M.W.

CAN HE MAKE THE SEATS
LOOK LIKE LEATHER?

THE MAN'S A MIRACLE WORKER.

***

WE GOT A PROBLEM.
ANOTHER SECTOR CAR CALLED IT IN.

I DON'T HAVE ANY CHOICE.
I'VE GOT TO BOOK HER.
IT'S LATE.

SHE'S ELDERLY. COULDN'T WE
AT LEAST DEFER THE ARREST?
I DON'T KNOW.

LAWRENCE, PLEASE.

YOU OWE ME.

THANK YOU.
YOU WON'T REGRET THIS.

EXCUSE ME, OFFICER?

CAN I GET MY GUN BACK, PLEASE?

***

WHEN A.D.A. RAINES GETS BACK,
HAVE HER CALL ME IMMEDIATELY.

(Woman) Yes, sir.
THANK YOU.

COULD I BORROW YOU
FOR A MINUTE?

OPPOSING COUNSEL
HAS MADE AN OFFER.

I'M TRYING TO GET
THESE PEOPLE TO TAKE IT.

I'M HOPING THAT
YOU CAN EXPLAIN TO THEM

THAT THIS IS AS GOOD
AS IT GETS.

DO I GET A HINT?
IT INVOLVES
INVASION OF PRIVACY.

A WOMAN, JACKIE HAYDEN,

ACCESS WAS GAINED TO
HER PERSONAL MEDICAL RECORDS.

INVASION OF PRIVACY--

THERE'S AN INCREASINGLY
FAMILIAR TUNE THESE DAYS.

THIS IS A LITTLE WORSE
THAN YOUR TYPICAL CASE

OF SOMEONE BEING DENIED A JOB

BECAUSE OF
A PREEXISTING CONDITION.

HOW MUCH WORSE?

HE NEVER BEAT ME,
JUST MY MOTHER.

I FINALLY GOT OUT
WHEN I WAS 16.

A FEW YEARS LATER,
EMILY'S MOM JACKIE CAME TO US

AT THE WOMEN'S SHELTER.

SHE WAS A MESS.

THEY PROMISED MY DAD
WOULD NEVER FIND HER THERE.

FOR OBVIOUS REASONS,
THE NAME, PHONE NUMBER

AND LOCATION OF THE SHELTER
ARE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL.

WE PUT EMILY'S MOM IN TOUCH
WITH A PSYCHIATRIST

FOR POST-TRAUMATIC
STRESS DISORDER.

THE COST OF WHICH
WAS COVERED...
UNDER HER H.M.O.

UNFORTUNATELY,
THE H.M.O. WELL BENEFITS

POSTED JACKIE'S INFORMATION,
INCLUDING THE NAME AND ADDRESS

OF HER PSYCHIATRIST
ON THEIR WEB SITE.

EMILY'S FATHER FOUND
JACKIE'S PSYCHIATRIST

VIA THE WELL BENEFITS
WEB SITE

AND TRACKED HER DOWN
AT THE PSYCHIATRIST'S OFFICE.

AND THAT'S WHERE...

HE KILLED HER.

SO THIS IS
A WRONGFUL DEATH ACTION,

AND WELL BENEFITS HAS
OFFERED YOU A SETTLEMENT?

$20,000, NO ADMISSION
OF LIABILITY.

REGARDING THE SETTLEMENT,
I HAVE TO AGREE.

THANK YOU, ALAN.
NOT WITH YOU.

WITH YOU.
THE OFFER IS INSULTING.

THESE PEOPLE NEED
TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON.

WOULD YOU EXCUSE US
ONE MOMENT?

$20,000?

THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY
FOR A 19-YEAR-OLD GIRL,

AND I BROUGHT YOU IN
TO MAKE THIS GO AWAY.

I WON'T DO THAT.

WHAT HAPPENED TO JACKIE HAYDEN
WAS A NIGHTMARE,

BUT TO BLAME THE H.M.O...

THERE WAS A SUPERVENING ACT.

TECHNICALLY, WELL BENEFITS
DIDN'T BREAK THE LAW.

BUT THERE WAS
A FORESEEABLE DANGER.

THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES
IN THIS CASE--DIRE CONSEQUENCES

TO PUTTING SOMEONE'S
MOST PERSONAL INFORMATION

ON THE INTERNET.

WELL BENEFITS
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT.

I SAY WE CLOBBER THEM
OVER THE HEAD WITH IT.

THIS IS WHY PEOPLE
DON'T ASK YOUR OPINION A LOT.

MOST LIKELY.

***

LORRAINE, HAM AND PROVOLONE
ON A BAGUETTE.

UM...

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING
WITHOUT BREAD?

THESE ARE SANDWICHES.
THEY HAVE BREAD.

WELL, THERE'S A THING
CALLED "PROTEIN STYLE."

YEAH, IF IT DON'T HAVE BREAD,
IT AIN'T A SANDWICH,

AND I ONLY DO SANDWICHES.

DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

I AM DENNY CRANE'S FIANCéE.

YEAH, SO?

HEY, MR. CHASE.
ROAST BEEF AND HAVARTI.

***

(clears throat)

CATHERINE,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I JUST TRIED TO REACH YOU
AT YOUR HOUSE.

I WAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I WANTED TO SEE IF
THERE WAS ANY NEWS ON MY CASE.
THERE ISN'T.

I PUT IN A CALL
TO THE D.A.'s OFFICE.

I HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK.
NOW ABOUT YOUR FINANCES...

OH, WE CAN TALK FINANCES
AND TRIAL STRATEGY.

UM, CAN WE USE OSTEOPOROSIS
AS A DEFENSE?

DO YOU HAVE IT?

NO, BUT I HAVE A LITTLE PILLOW

I CAN PUT UNDER MY SHIRT.

WE'LL KEEP THAT
IN OUR ARSENAL.

SO, CATHERINE...

DO YOU WANT TO TALK MORE NOW?

I WAS GOING TO CATCH UP WITH
THE GIRLS IN WORD PROCESSING.

OH, OKAY.
WHY DON'T YOU DO THAT?

BUT DON'T WORRY.
I'LL BE HERE.

I'VE CLEARED MY SCHEDULE.
THIS GETS TOP PRIORITY.

AS IT SHOULD,
GIVEN YOU'RE FACING 25 TO LIFE.

***

WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE SANDWICH GUY?

UH, BEV FIRED HIM.

BEV DOESN'T WORK HERE.

WELL, THEN I FIRED HIM.

DENNY, I THOUGHT WE AGREED
YOU WOULDN'T FIRE ANYONE

AFTER YOU LET
VICKY DONCHEY GO.

SHE WASN'T PULLING HER WEIGHT.
SHE WAS A CLIENT.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING,
SHIRLEY.

YOU KNOW WHY THIS FIRM
IS GOING INTO THE DUMPER?

OUR PROFITS WERE UP 5%
LAST QUARTER.

PEOPLE ARE BEING CODDLED.
BUNCH OF LAYABOUTS.

AAH!

BE CAREFUL OF THE CUTICLE,
MING.

DENNY...

IT'S STARTING.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

BEV--SHE'S FOLLOWING
A SIMILAR PATTERN

TO YOUR FIVE PREVIOUS WIVES.

IT STARTS WITH HER FIRING
THE SANDWICH GUY

AND ENDS WITH HER INFLUENCING
POLICY AT THIS FIRM,

AND IT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

NOW, SHIRLEY, WE BOTH KNOW
WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT.

NO, WE DO NOT BOTH KNOW
WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
AH!

IT'S NOT ABOUT ME
BEING JEALOUS OF BEV.

IT'S ABOUT GETTING
THE SANDWICH GUY BACK!

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

JEEZ, IF I'D KNOWN
IT WAS SUCH A BIG DEAL...

I'LL TALK TO BEV.

HAPPY ENDING, MR. CRANE?

OH, NOT TODAY, MING.

I'M ENGAGED NOW.

***

(phone rings)

(woman)
Wellesley Memorial, Oncology.

ROOM 4175.

There is a phone block
on that room.

COULD YOU HELP ME OUT HERE?

I'M HIS, UM, GIRLFRIEND.

Hold one second, please.

(Woman #2)
Hello, Ms. Bauer?

This is Laura Buckingham,
Mr. Post's personal assistant.

OH, THANK GOD!

HOW IS THE CHEMO GOING?

He's indisposed at the moment,

but he wanted me to personally
assure you he is well,

and he'll phone you in a few
days following his treatment.

UH, COULD YOU TELL MR. POST
THAT, UM...

TELL HIM I, UM...

I'M THINKING OF HIM.

I will.

(dial tone)

THEY'RE HERE.

LET'S GO.

REJECTED?
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!

NO, I'M MUCH FUNNIER
WHEN I'M KIDDING.

I THOUGHT THIS WAS WORKED OUT.
I THOUGHT SO, TOO.

AFTER FURTHER CONSIDERATION,

WE DECIDED THAT THE OFFER
WAS INADEQUATE.

OH, WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP!

YOUNG LADY,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT NONSENSE

THESE LAWYERS HAVE BEEN
TELLING YOU ABOUT H.M.O.s

AND THEIR DEEP POCKETS.
PLEASE DIRECT
YOUR UNFOUNDED ARROGANCE AT ME.

OKAY, FINE. YOU TWO ARE JUST
TRYING TO MAKE AN ISSUE

WHEN THERE IS NO ISSUE!

NO ISSUE? I'M SORRY.

DID THIS YOUNG WOMAN'S MOTHER
SUDDENLY SPRING BACK TO LIFE?

HER FATHER KILLED HER MOTHER,

AND WE ARE ALL UPSET
ABOUT THAT,

BUT IT WAS NOT OUR FAULT!

HOWEVER,
TO MAKE THIS GO AWAY,

WE WERE WILLING TO GIVE HER
A GIFT OF $20,000.

WELL, AS A GIFT,
THAT'S VERY SWEET OF YOU.

WE'LL PUT IT IN THE DEN
NEXT TO THE ARMOIRE.

HOWEVER, AS COMPENSATION
THAT YOU OWE EMILY HAYDEN

BECAUSE YOUR NEGLIGENCE
LED TO HER MOTHER

BEING BRUTALLY MURDERED,
YOUR OFFER IS OFFENSIVE,

EVEN MORE OFFENSIVE
THAN YOUR TONE.

WE'RE DONE!

THE LAW IS ON OUR SIDE,
MR. SHORE.

TRAGEDIES HAPPEN EVERY DAY.

YES, AND YOU'RE ABOUT
TO EXPERIENCE ONE FIRSTHAND.

SEE YOU IN COURT.

***

AREN'T YOU GLAD
YOU BROUGHT ME ON BOARD?

***

MR. HAYDEN, IS IT TRUE

YOU STABBED YOUR WIFE
TO DEATH WITH A KITCHEN KNIFE?
YES.

YOU HUNTED HER DOWN?
YES.

YOU LAY IN WAIT?
YES.

AND FINALLY,
AFTER YOU BOTH EXCHANGED WORDS,

YOU PULLED THE KNIFE OUT
AND STABBED HER

SEVEN TIMES IN THE CHEST.
YES.

BEFORE YOU KILLED
EMILY'S MOTHER JACKIE,

SHE WAS LIVING AT RENEW,
A BATTERED WOMEN'S SHELTER?

THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING.

A SHELTER, THE LOCATION OF WHICH
WAS KEPT CONFIDENTIAL.

AS FAR AS I KNEW.

COULD YOU TELL US
HOW YOU CAME TO LEARN

OF JACKIE'S WHEREABOUTS?
MY COMPUTER.

SPECIFICALLY?

I LOGGED ON TO WELL BENEFITS'
WEB SITE.
JACKIE'S H.M.O.

I HAD HER SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
AND HER DATE OF BIRTH.

THAT'S ALL I NEEDED
TO ACCESS THE RECORDS.

AND WHAT DID YOU FIND?

HER EXPLANATION
OF BENEFITS.

IT HAD ON IT
WHAT SHE WAS BEING TREATED FOR,

THE LOCATION OF HER DOCTOR

AND WHAT HER CO-PAY WAS.

I NOTICED SHE WAS SEEING
THE SAME SHRINK EVERY MONDAY,

SO I WENT AND WAITED FOR HER
OUTSIDE HIS OFFICE.

(hyperventilating)

EMILY...

EMILY?

THE GOOD WAS WE JUST MADE
A STRONG OPENING IMPRESSION

WITH THE JURY.

THE BAD WAS YOU JUST HAD
TO LISTEN TO TESTIMONY

OF HOW YOUR FATHER
KILLED YOUR MOTHER.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NOBODY
SHOULD EVER HAVE TO EXPERIENCE.

HERE'S WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT LAWYERS.

I COULD HAVE SAT YOU DOWN

AND PREPARED YOU
FOR THIS TESTIMONY

SO AS TO BRACE YOU.

I CHOSE NOT TO.

NO TEARS FOR THE PLAINTIFF,

NO TEARS FOR THE JURY--
LESS MONEY.

BUT, EMILY, WE DON'T HAVE
TO KEEP GOING HERE.

IF YOU FEEL THIS--

I WANT TO KEEP GOING.

YOU'RE SURE?

YES.

OKAY.

BUT IF YOU DON'T CARE
TO BE IN THE COURTROOM...

I WANT TO BE THERE.

FROM THIS POINT ON,
THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY NECESSARY.
I WANT TO BE THERE!

I WANT YOU TO GET HIM,
AND I WANT TO SEE YOU GET HIM!

GET WHO, EMILY?

WE'RE SUING A COMPANY.

SO I HEARD LYNETTE'S CYST
DIDN'T GO AWAY,

AND THEY'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO LANCE IT.

ALL THAT AND HER--
HELLO, DENNY.

DO YOU STILL REMEMBER
WHO I AM?

OF DID I LEAK OUT
YOUR WIFFLE BALL BRAIN?

(laughs)

NOW HE I KNOW WE FIRED.

ALAN, ANY NEWS OF THE CASE?
YES.

WELL, MAKE IT QUICK,

BECAUSE I'M HAVING LUNCH
WITH JUDY.

HER HUSBAND'S... AGAIN.
WELL, I HAVE GOOD NEWS.

THE GROCERY CLERK
WAS TOO BUSY DRIVING AROUND

IN HIS PLUSH NEW RIDE
TO PRESS CHARGES,

AND THE D.A. WON'T PROSECUTE
WITHOUT A COMPLAINING WITNESS.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

YOUR CASE IS DISMISSED.
YOU'RE FREE AND CLEAR.

REALLY?

CATHERINE, THIS IS GOOD NEWS.

THERE ARE ONLY TWO "GET OUT
OF JAIL FREE" CARDS IN THE GAME,

AND YOU'VE USED THEM BOTH UP.

I DID, DIDN'T I?
YES, YOU DID.

CATHERINE, I WANT YOU
TO HAVE THIS.

$3,000?

I HOPE YOU'RE NOT EXPECTING SEX
FOR THIS.

I AM NOT.
CONSIDER IT BACK PAY.

THANK YOU, ALAN.

WE'LL HAVE DINNER SOON
TO CELEBRATE.

YOU WANT TO REHIRE
THE SANDWICH GUY?

WELL, IT WASN'T THAT BIG
A DEAL.

NOT A BIG DEAL?

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL
IF HE RAPED ME?

WHAT WOULD YOU DO,
JUST SWEEP THAT UNDER THE RUG?

OH, COME ON, BEV.
I KNOW THE GUY UPSET YOU.

DAMN RIGHT HE UPSET ME.
HE WAS COMPLETELY RUDE.

BUT, DENNY, I MEAN,
MY FEELINGS DON'T MATTER HERE.

THE SANDWICH GUY DIDN'T
DISRESPECT BEVERLY BRIDGE.

HE DISRESPECTED THE FIANCéE
OF DENNY CRANE.

HE DISRESPECTED YOU.

THAT SON OF A BITCH.

***

IF YOU TURN TO PAGE 56,
APPENDIX "B"...

UH, SORRY, FOLKS.
TALKED IT OVER WITH BEV.

THE SANDWICH GUY--STILL OUT.

OKAY, WE NEED TO DEAL
WITH THIS NOW.

WE NEED TO DEAL
WITH THE SANDWICH GUY

INSTEAD OF THE MULTIMILLION-
DOLLAR BLAKE MERGER?

NO, BEV'S INFLUENCE ON DENNY.

YEAH, BELIEVE ME,
THAT'S NEXT ON MY AGENDA.

BEV FIRED THE SANDWICH GUY.

I WENT TO DENNY.
HE TALKED TO BEV,

AND THE SANDWICH GUY
IS STILL FIRED.
(sighs)

IT'S ANGIE
ALL OVER AGAIN.
OR MARCIA.

OR CLOVIS.
FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN,

BEV IS MUCH MORE FORMIDABLE THAN
ANY OF THE PREVIOUS MRS. CRANES.

IF SHE GETS DENNY TO TAKE
HIS NAME OFF THE DOOR,

PEOPLE WILL THINK
THE FIRM'S IN TROUBLE.

CLIENTS WILL STAMPEDE
OUT OF HERE.
I HAVE AN IDEA.

I REALIZE I HAVEN'T BEEN
PARTNER FOR VERY LONG,

SO LET ME ASK YOU BOTH,

HOW MUCH DISCRETION
WOULD I HAVE

TO MAKE THIS BEV PROBLEM
GO AWAY?

NO CHOPPING OFF FINGERS.

NO VIOLENCE OF ANY KIND.

NONE, I PROMISE.

THEN YOU HAVE AS MUCH DISCRETION
AS YOU NEED.

***

AND SO IN COMPARISON
WITH OTHER H.M.O.s,

WELL BENEFITS
WOULD RANK WHERE?

SEVERAL PROMINENT PUBLICATIONS
HAVE LISTED US

AT THE TOP OF OUR FIELD IN TERMS
OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION.

AND IN TERMS
OF YOUR WEB SITE,

SPECIFICALLY SECURITY?

IT IS CONSIDERED
USER-FRIENDLY BUT SOUND.

WE MEET
THE ACCEPTED BUSINESS STANDARD

FOR INTERNET SECURITY.

IF MR. HAYDEN USES
HIS CRIMINAL INGENUITY

TO ILLEGALLY OBTAIN INFORMATION,
THAT'S HORRIBLE,

BUT IT'S WHAT HE CHOSE TO DO.

MR. ORCHARD,
ACCORDING TO MY RECORDS,

YOUR COMPANY GENERATES
APPROXIMATELY $1.5 BILLION

IN REVENUES EACH YEAR.

IS THAT RIGHT?
APPROXIMATELY.

OH, FORGIVE ME, YOUR HONOR.

BEFORE I BEGAN
MY CROSS-EXAMINATION,

I MEANT TO CONGRATULATE
MR. ORCHARD.

HIS WIFE RECENTLY GAVE BIRTH
TO A BEAUTIFUL BABY DAUGHTER.

THANK YOU.

8 POUNDS, 15 OUNCES.

HEALTHY, HAPPY?

THANK GOODNESS, YES.

SHE WAS A BIT JAUNDICED
WHEN SHE CAME OUT, THOUGH,

HAD A LITTLE FLUID IN HER LUNGS
WHICH NEEDED TO BE ASPIRATED.

SORRY?

NO, I SORRY.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO DISREGARD
YOUR OTHER CHILDREN,

WHICH SO OFTEN HAPPENS
WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEW ONE.

YOU HAVE A 4-YEAR-OLD
AND A 10-YEAR-OLD.
YOUR HONOR!

YOUR HONOR, I JUST THOUGHT
MR. ORCHARD WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

HIS 10-YEAR-OLD CARLY
LIKES MAX BABCOCK,

THOUGH MAX DOESN'T KNOW
IF HE LIKES HER BACK.

AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I
ASCERTAINED FROM THE CHAT ROOM.
OBJECTION!

ALL THIS OBJECTING.

MR. JOVANKA, YOU SEEM
IN SUCH A NASTY MOOD.

COULD IT BE THE NEW LEXUS
YOU ORDERED ONLINE FROM A BROKER

HAS BEEN DELAYED?

GOSH, I HOPE YOU'RE NOT FORCED
TO KEEP DRIVING THAT SEDAN

WITH THE DENT IN IT
FROM YOUR RECENT FENDER BENDER.
MR. SHORE!

YES, YOUR HONOR?

BY THE WAY, YOU NEED TO RENEW
YOUR CAR REGISTRATION,

BUT CONGRATULATIONS
ON YOUR COLONOSCOPY.
MR. SHORE!

TOO PERSONAL?

IT WAS JUST INFORMATION
I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN

FROM WEB SITES WHICH EMPLOY
THE ACCEPTED BUSINESS STANDARD

FOR INTERNET SECURITY.

THAT IS WHAT YOU CALLED IT,
MR. ORCHARD, CORRECT?

CORRECT.

HERE'S WHAT
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

YOU'RE A BILLION-DOLLAR COMPANY.

YOU'RE IN THE BUSINESS
OF ENSURING THE HEALTH

AND WELL-BEING
OF YOUR CLIENTELE.

AND YET, YOU WEREN'T ABLE

TO ENSURE THE SAFETY
OF THEIR RECORDS,

WHICH YOU COULD HAVE DONE
HAD YOU SPENT JUST A FRACTION

OF THOSE BILLIONS
ON INTERNET SECURITY.

MR. SHORE, AS WE ALL KNOW,
HEALTH CARE COSTS

HAVE SPUN OUT OF CONTROL.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IS
THE SINGLE LARGEST COST

FOR US AND FOR ALL OTHER
FORTUNE 1000 COMPANIES.

IF WE HAD UPGRADED
TO A MORE SECURE SYSTEM,

MORE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE HAD
TO DO WITHOUT HEALTH CARE.

AND YET FEWER
WOULD HAVE BEEN MURDERED.

THANK YOU.

TO DENNY CRANE.

MMM. AH!

NOW, BRAD, DID YOU REALLY
ASK ME HERE ON BUSINESS,

OR ARE YOU TRYING
TO DO A LITTLE MOVE-IN

ON DENNY CRANE'S GIRL?

JUST BUSINESS.

I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT
YOU AND DENNY.

WELL, WE'RE VERY MUCH
IN LOVE.

IF ANYTHING CHANGES, THOUGH,
I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

WELL, AS YOU KNOW, DENNY'S
BEEN MARRIED SEVERAL TIMES,

AND EACH TIME,
IT'S ENDED IN DIVORCE.

AND EACH DIVORCE
HAS BEEN TRAUMATIC

AND ULTIMATELY COSTLY FOR DENNY
AND CRANE, POOLE & SCHMIDT.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, BRAD.

I'M SURE I'M GOING
TO SIGN ANY PRE-NUP

THAT DENNY WANTS ME TO.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT A PRE-NUP.

THIS IS ABOUT
AVOIDING THE TURMOIL

OF MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE
ALTOGETHER.

YOU LOST ME.

I'LL MAKE IT SIMPLE.

I'M PREPARED TO GIVE YOU
$500,000 RIGHT NOW

IF YOU WALK AWAY
AND NEVER HAVE ANY CONTACT

WITH DENNY CRANE EVER AGAIN.

IT WILL SAVE US A LOT
OF MONEY, TIME AND GRIEF.

BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT
WE WILL AGGRESSIVELY FIGHT

TO KEEP YOU
FROM EXERCISING ANY CONTROL

OVER DENNY OR THE FIRM.

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU
TWO THINGS.

FIRST, I LOVE DENNY CRANE
WITH ALL MY HEART,

AND I WILL NEVER LEAVE HIM,

NOT FOR ALL THE MONEY
IN THE WORLD.

AND SECOND,

IN A MOMENT, YOU'RE GOING
TO POUR YOUR GLASS OF WINE

ALL OVER YOURSELF.

OH!

OH, OH!

OH, CRAP!

HELLO.

HI.

I ALWAYS FEEL SLIGHTLY SICK
TO MY STOMACH

WHEN I WORK ALONE
IN THE OFFICE LATE AT NIGHT.

I THOUGHT
YOU LIKED BEING ALONE.

OH, I LOVE BEING ALONE.

I JUST PREFER TO BE ALONE WHEN
THERE'S OTHER PEOPLE AROUND.

SO HOW ARE YOU DOING?

FINE.

I HAVE A RABBI FRIEND
WITH A SMALL GAMBLING PROBLEM

WHO, WHEN HE HEARS SOMEONE
SAY THEY'RE FINE,

HE ALWAYS ASKS AGAIN
UNTIL THEY SAY SOMETHING

OTHER THAN "FINE."

SO...

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

I'M SEEING SOMEONE
WHO'S DYING OF LUNG CANCER.

AND WHILE HE IS
A VERY WEALTHY MAN,

HE CAN'T BUY HIS WAY
OUT OF THE SECONDARY CANCERS

THAT THE TREATMENT FOR
THE FIRST CANCERS ARE CAUSING.

AND HERE'S THE KICKER.
HE, UM, DANIEL...

HAS COMPLETELY
SHUT ME OUT OF HIS LIFE.

SO NOW I JUST... WAIT.

DENISE, I DON'T KNOW YOU
VERY WELL.

HOWEVER, YOU DON'T STRIKE ME

AS THE TYPE OF WOMAN
WHO JUST WAITS...

FOR ANYTHING.

***

(Man on TV)
OVER TO THE RIGHT,

DRIBBLING UP
ON THE SIDE CORNER

WHERE A DOUBLE-TEAM
AWAITS HIM.
(doorbell tinkles)

THROWING IT UP
TO THE TOP OF THE KEY,

HE FAKES A SHOT
TO GET HIS MAN IN THE AIR.

HE DRIVES DOWN THE LANE.
BEAUTIFUL!
(clears throat)

MAY I HELP YOU?

I'D LIKE TO BUY
SOME EARPLUGS, PLEASE.

$2.03.

(cash register beeps)

***

***

OH, I'M IN TROUBLE NOW.

YES.

WHAT'S WITH ME?

INDEED.

I CERTAINLY HAVE A LACK
OF IMPULSE CONTROL.

I MUST HAVE A.D.D.

OR O.C.D.

OR ONE OF
THOSE OTHER LETTER THINGS.

BUT I DON'T WANT YOU
TO THINK

I'M NOT AWARE
OF THE HOLE WE'RE IN.

I GET IT.

THAT'S WHY I WANT YOU
TO KNOW I'M WILLING

TO ROLL UP MY SLEEVES
AND WORK WITH YOU ON THIS.

MAYBE WE CAN SET UP
A LITTLE OFFICE FOR ME

AT THE FIRM.

I'LL BE BACK.

SIR.

DON'T GO ANYWHERE.

WHAT IN THE HELL
WERE YOU THINKING?

WELL, YOU BOTH GAVE ME
DISCRETION TO MAKE HER GO AWAY.

BUT SHE DIDN'T GO AWAY!
SO YOU MADE THIS INSANE OFFER,

PUT THE FIRM AT RISK
FOR NOTHING?

WHEN THIS GETS BACK TO DENNY,
AND IT WILL,

HE IS GOING TO BLOW SKY HIGH.

NOW BEV HAS A CHIP
TO PLAY AGAINST US.

BEV TURNED DOWN THE OFFER
THAT I MADE HER.

SHE WAS VERY OFFENDED.

SHE, UM...
SET MY TIE ON FIRE.

OH, GOD!

BUT BEFO SHE TURNED ME DOWN,

SHE HESITATED.

JUST A LITTLE BIT,

BUT SHE HESITATED.

THIS IS GOING TO GET UGLY.

***

HOW CAN I NOT TESTIFY?

YOU SAID YOURSELF
I'M THE EMOTION IN THE CASE.

I'M THINKING TOO MUCH EMOTION.

I...
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

EMILY, I COULD PUT YOU
ON THE STAND,

EXHIBIT YOUR ANGER
AND SADNESS FOR THE JURY,

AND THEY WILL BE MOVED,

BUT THEN THE DEFENSE
HAS THEIR TURN,

AND THEY'LL EXPLOIT
THOSE VERY SAME EMOTIONS,

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOUR PAIN.

THEY'LL ARGUE
THAT YOUR VENGEANCE

IS TRULY MEANT
FOR YOUR FATHER,

AND YOU'VE REFOCUSED IT
TOWARD WELL BENEFITS,

THE DEEPEST POCKETS
YOU COULD FIND.

AND THEY'LL HAVE THE JURY
CONVINCED

IT'S A MISDIRECTED
AND THEREFORE FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT,

AND THAT'S HOW WE'LL LOSE.

I SUSPECT
THE MOST DIFFICULT THING

ONE COULD ASK OF YOU
IS TRUST,

BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
I'M ASKING FOR NOW, EMILY.

LET'S GET IN THERE.

MR. SHORE...

I WISH I COULD GET YOU
TO COME TO THE SHELTER.

SO MANY OF THE WOMEN THERE
DESPERATELY NEED LEGAL ADVICE,

SOMEONE WHO WILL SPEAK TO THEM
OPENLY AND HONESTLY.

ARE THEY CUTE?

YOU DON'T FOOL ME.

YOU'RE A COMPASSIONATE MAN.

WE NEED TO GET BACK.

NED HAYDEN KILLED HIS WIFE.

HE'S SERVING A LIFE SENTENCE

WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY
OF PAROLE.

JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED.

EMILY HAYDEN'S LOSS
IS IMMEASURABLE,

BUT WHATEVER CLOSURE
SHE IS SEEKING,

SHE MUST FIND IT IN HER SOUL

OR THROUGH HER GOD,

NOT THROUGH SUING
WELL BENEFITS.

WELL BENEFITS COULD NOT
REASONABLY FORESEE THIS KILLING

AND DID NOTHING TO ENCOURAGE IT.

THEY WERE IN COMPLIANCE

WITH ALL STATE
AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS

REGARDING INTERNET SECURITY.

IF YOU FIND FOR THE PLAINTIFF,

YOU ARE PUNISHING MY CLIENT
FOR PLAYING BY THE RULES,

AND YOU ARE OPENING
A PANDORA'S BOX OF LAWSUITS,

NOT JUST AGAINST H.M.O.s,

BUT AGAINST
ALL INTERNET BUSINESSES.

AND WHO WILL ULTIMATELY END UP
PAYING FOR THAT?

YOU KNOW. IT'S YOU.

WHEN I WAS 11 YEARS OLD,

THERE CAME A TIME
WHEN THE TEMPTATION

TO EXPLORE
THE MORE SECRETIVE RECESSES

OF MY OLDER SISTER'S LIFE

BECAME MORE
THAN I COULD RESIST.

I STARTED BY POKING AROUND
IN HER ROOM.

I ENDED BY READING HER DIARY.

IN MY DEFENSE,

SHE KEPT IT RIGHT OUT
IN THE OPEN, UNDER HER MATTRESS.

AND THE LITTLE METAL CLASP
ON IT

WAS SIMPLY NO MATCH
FOR THE PAPER CLIP

AND THE SCREWDRIVER.

I WAS EVENTUALLY CAUGHT,
PROMPTING MY SISTER

TO HAVE A LOCK INSTALLED
IN HER DOOR.

THE ONLY CONSEQUENCE
OF THE INVASION

OF MY SISTER'S PRIVACY

WAS THE TEMPORARY LOSS
OF HER CONFIDENCE AND TRUST.

THE INVASION
OF JACKIE HAYDEN'S PRIVACY

LED TO HER BEING STABBED

AND LEFT TO BLEED TO DEATH
IN THE STREET.

PRIVACY AND THE SAFETY
AND SECURITY THAT

THAT WORD HAS ALWAYS IMPLIED

HAS, WITH TIME AND TECHNOLOGY,
BECOME AN ILLUSION.

THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY
HAS ACCESS

TO ALL OUR E-MAIL THE WORLD OVER

WITH ITS ECHELON SYSTEM.

ONTO YOUR COMPUTER,

WHICH IS IN FACT A SPY
TO TRACK YOUR EVERY MOVE.

THERE ARE PREDATORS
OUT IN CYBERSPACE

COLLECTING DATA
ON YOUR CHILDREN

WHILE THEY INNOCENTLY TYPE AWAY
IN CHAT ROOMS.

AND THAT LITTLE WAIVER YOU'VE
SIGNED IN THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE

MOST LIKELY ALLOWS PHYSICIANS
TO SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

ON THE INTERNET
WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES,

THE GOVERNMENT, YOUR EMPLOYER
AND THE COURTS.

MAKE NO MISTAKE,

ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION
IS EASY.

ALL YOU NEED IS
A PERSON'S 5-DIGIT ZIP CODE,

GENDER AND DATE OF BIRTH

TO UNIQUELY IDENTIFY
87% OF THE U.S. POPULATION.

THAT IS HOW VULNERABLE
WE ARE,

HOW VULNERABLE YOU ARE.

WELL BENEFITS SAYS THEY COULD
NOT HAVE POSSIBLY FORESEEN

THE ACTIONS OF AN ABUSIVE SPOUSE
INTENT ON CAUSING HIS WIFE HARM.

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT
JACKIE HAYDEN COULD NOT FORESEE,

THAT AFTER YEARS OF CRUEL
AND VIOLENT DEBASEMENT

AT THE HANDS OF HER HUSBAND,

AFTER SHE FINALLY FOUND HER WAY
OUT OF THE SHADOWS,

SHE DIDN'T FORESEE THAT
THE PEOPLE SHE MOST TRUSTED

WITH HER HEALTH AND WELL-BEING

WOULD LEAD THE DARKNESS
RIGHT BACK TO HER DOOR,

AND NOW SHE'S DEAD.

WELL BENEFITS MADE IT EASY
FOR NED HAYDEN TO FIND HIS WIFE,

AS EASY AS LOOKING
UNDER A MATTRESS.

(Judge) MADAME FOREPERSON,
YOU'VE REACHED A VERDICT?

WE HAVE, YOUR HONOR.

WHAT SAY YOU?

WE THE JURY

FIND IN FAVOR OF THE PLAINTIFF
AND AWARD COMPENSATORY DAMAGES

IN THE AMOUNT OF $950,000

AND PUNITIVE DAMAGES
IN THE AMOUNT OF $2 MILLION.

(gallery murmuring)

YOUR HONOR,

WE MOVE FOR A JUDGMENT
NOTWITHSTANDING THE VERDICT,

OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE,
A NEW TRIAL.

MOTION DENIED.

JURY IS DISMISSED.

WE ARE ADJOURNED.
(gavel bangs)

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. SHORE.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

I KNEW YOU COULD WIN THIS,
MR. SHORE.

WELL, THAT'S USUALLY
THE SAFE BET.

TELL ME,

OW DOES
A STRIKING LATINA WOMAN

COME BY THE NAME
IRMA LEVINE?

CONGRATULATIONS
ON WINNING YOUR CASE.

THANK YOU.

GREAT WORK.

THANK YOU.

I HAVE TO GO SEE THE D.A.
ABOUT CATHERINE.

ARE YOU HEADING SOMEWHERE...

OR JUST WAITING?

NO, I'M DEFINITELY
NOT WAITING.

LET HER GO?
WHAT ARE YOU, HIGH?

NOT YET.

SHE ALREADY MURDERED A MAN.

FOR WHICH A JURY
FOUND HER INNOCENT.

AND NOW SHE'S
ON A CRIME SPREE.

TWICE IN
THE SAME CONVENIENCE STORE

HARDLY MAKES A SPREE.

THEN WHAT WOULD YOU CALL HER,
AN ACTIVE SENIOR?

(chuckles) NO.

I WOULD CALL HER
A SAD AND LONELY OLD WOMAN,

A WOMAN WHO SPENT MANY YEARS
LIVING IN SOLITUDE

WITH NOTHING TO OCCUPY
HER WIT AND INTELLECT.

THEN ONE DAY,
SHE BECAME MY ASSISTANT,

AND SUDDENLY
SHE WAS IN AN ENVIRONMENT

EQUAL TO THE TASK
OF ENTERTAINING

AND STIMULATING
HER MAGNIFICENT MIND.

THEN SHE SHOULD HAVE
TAKEN UP CROCHETING,

NOT FELONY ROBBERY.

GRANTED.

BUT FOR CATHERINE,
THIS WAS NOT ABOUT MALICE

NOR FINANCIAL GAIN,
NOR THRILL SEEKING.

IT WAS ABOUT
GETTING MY ATTENTION,

AND SHE GOT IT.

HER REIGN OF TERROR IS OVER,

I PROMISE.

SHE PLEADS GUILTY
TO MISDEMEANOR POSSESSION

OF A FIREARM.

I'LL RECOMMEND PROBATION,
NO JAIL TIME.

THANK YOU, MS. RAINES.

ONE THING.

YES?

I DO THIS FOR YOU,
YOU DO SOMETHING FOR ME.

I'M LISTENING.

GET ME AN INTERVIEW
AT CRANE, POOLE & SCHMIDT.

LET'S JUST SAY BEING
A DISTRICT ATTORNEY

ISN'T ENTERTAINING
AND STIMULATING

MY MAGNIFICENT MIND.

JUST GET ME IN THE DOOR.
I'LL GET THE JOB MYSELF,

AND YOU'LL GET
CATHERINE PIPER BACK.

I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

***

(knock on door)

THESE ARE FOR YOU--
DILL PICKLES.

THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO ALTER
THE METALLIC TASTE SENSATION

FROM THE CHEMOTHERAPY

AND MAKE YOUR REGULAR FOOD
TASTE BETTER.

WELL, THAT IS THE NICEST
CHEMO GIFT I'VE EVER GOTTEN.

THIS MAY NOT BE THE BEST TIME
TO DISCUSS THIS,

BUT YOU'RE WEAK,
AND I'M STRONG.

YOU DON'T GET
TO SET ALL THE RULES

IN THIS RELATIONSHIP.

YOUR WHOLE LIFE,

YOU HAVE USED MONEY
TO SET THE RULES,

AND NOW YOU'RE USING
YOUR ILLNESS.

I THINK I SHOULD BE ABLE TO.

I...
I GOT THE BUM LUNG.

I KNOW, I KNOW,

BUT IT--IT WASN'T RIGHT

FOR YOU TO SHUT ME OUT
LIKE THAT.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

I'M SORRY.

BUT IF YOU HIT ME
OR ANYTHING,

I MIGHT LITERALLY DIE.

SCOOT.

(laughs)

***

I'VE BEEN THINKING
A GOOD DEAL ABOUT MY OFFER

TO HIRE YOU
AS MY PERSONAL ASSISTANT.

I'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION,
CATHERINE,

THAT I AM A TERRIBLE BOSS.

OH, NO, DEAR,
I DON'T THINK SO.

MY POINT IS,
I'VE FOUND YOU A JOB--

A BETTER JOB.

I DON'T KNOW.

THE PAY IS COMPARABLE.

IT'S A START-UP COMPANY,

AND THEY NEED SOMEONE WITH
IMAGINATION AND EXPERIENCE--

A REAL... PEOPLE PERSON.

I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF YOU.

DENTAL?

I'M SURE SOMETHING
CAN BE WORKED OUT.

SO WHAT WOULD I BE DOING?

(elevator dings)

PESTO CHICKEN, VEGGIE WRAPS!

ROAST BEEF ON CIABATTA!

COME AND GET IT.

I HAVE FRUIT
AND HARD-BOILED EGGS AND STUFF,

BUT I'VE GOT BUNDT CAKE.

OKAY,
WHAT ARE YOU HAVING THERE?

THAT'S $4 FOR THAT.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ONLY A SANDWICH?
DON'T YOU WANT SOMETHING SWEET?

I'VE GOT SWEET BUNS.
OH, NO.

(laughs)
OH, THAT'S SILLY.

ALL RIGHT,
AND WHAT WILL YOU HAVE?

SO YOU'RE IN
THE SANDWICH BUSINESS NOW?

A SILENT INVESTOR.

(Catherine)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OH, YES.

I HAVE SO MUCH MONEY,
I'M THROWING IT AWAY.

***

THERE YOU ARE.

I'VE HARDLY SEEN YOU
THIS EPISODE.

IT SADDENS ME.

TOUGH CASE?

YES, LACK OF PRIVACY
ON THE INTERNET

IS COMPLICATED
AND... OVERWHELMING.

IT DOESN'T SCARE ME.

MY LIFE'S AN OPEN BOOK.

SO YOU WOULDN'T MIND
IF SOMEONE TAPPED A FEW KEYS

AND DISCOVERED
YOU HAVE MAD COW?

I DON'T CARE.

I TELL EVERYBODY
I MEET ANYWAY.

EVER LOOKED YOURSELF UP
ON THE INTERNET?

I HAVE.

DENNY CRANE, LEGAL GENIUS.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

NO.

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW ME.

OH, I KNOW YOU.

YOU'RE NOT SO BAD.

SO I'VE MET THIS GIRL.
YOU DID?

IRMA LEVINE.

SHE GIVES ME
A BIT OF TROUBLE.

TAKE HER TO MY WEDDING.

WE JUST MET.

BEV AND I JUST MET.
WE'RE THE ONES GETTING MARRIED.

YOU ARE, AREN'T YOU?

YES, I AM.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT
TO GO TO A FUNERAL.

HOPPER'S?
NO, MINE.

YOUR FUNERAL'S IN A BAR.
YEAH, WELL,
FUNERAL HOMES CLOSE TOO EARLY,

AND THEY DON'T HAVE BEER.
I HEARD THERE WERE 400 BREASTS,

AND YOU KEPT THEM ALL
TO YOURSELF.

THIS WOMAN WAS ARRESTED AS PART
OF A POLITICAL PROTEST.

IF SHE'S CONVICTED,
SHE'LL BE FORCED TO REGISTER

AS A SEX OFFENDER.

I'LL NEVER BE ABLE
TO GUARANTEE YOU A JOB,

BUT I PROMISE--
I KNOW YOU THINK
THIS IS ABOUT ME BEING MAD

AT CRANE, POOLE & SCHMIDT,
BUT IT ISN'T.

THIS COMES STRAIGHT
FROM MY BOSS.
DENNY, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW

WHAT THIS CASE IS ABOUT.
I DON'T HAVE TO KNOW
WHAT IT'S ABOUT

IN ORDER TO TRY IT.
