Previously, on
"The Betty Broderick Story"...

Medical malpractice
litigation is a chance

to do good and to make money.

Harvard must see that
because they accepted me.

What's better... rich or richer?
Richer is.

This is a lot of space

to house this elite army
of legal minds.

Have you met Dan Broderick?

He is a doctor
who went to Harvard law.

What's your secret?

Being so happy
we finally found a home,

some place so beautiful
among such nice people.

What time is
Dan getting home?

He's probably with Martin.

It is
the Radcliffe & Nunn sickness.

It makes you greedy
and selfish,

and the only cure is leave.

Ivy League‐educated MDJD,

you don't need them
for anything.

Should I open
my own practice?

Oh, man.

Martin says he was only
with her a few times.

I don't know him.

And if I don't know him,
I don't know what I know.

Yvonne.

You're so lucky, Betty.

In Frazier v. Cupp,

the Supreme Court stated
the use of extrapolation

and dissembling
is not coercion.

Also, the court ruled
that police trickery on its own

does not deem
a confession involuntary.

You're saying the police

lying to defendants
has justification?

I'm not saying it, sir.
The Supreme Court has ruled it.

Noted.

Does that strike you
as an ethical decision?

In a utopia where
the truth was told

always be everyone, eh...

but we don't live
in a utopia...

where by definition
everyone's goals are the same,

so I do agree
with the Supreme Court.

In the right circumstances,
lying serves a greater good.

Big decision, chief.

Probably the biggest one
you'll ever make.

Yes, sir.
You need to be sure.

Not that you're not,
but if you're not,

- you really need to be.
- Mm‐hmm.

I've been thinking
about it for a while now.

We really hardly
have anything in common.

- Except the kids.
- Look, I don't care why.

I'm just making sure
that you know why,

making sure that there is
a why and you're not

just pulling a rip cord
'cause it's there.

That's right.

You cannot liquidate
a legal partnership on a whim.

Am I right, Danny boy?

You can,
but, uh, you shouldn't.

I never know what to get.

Ugh. I wish
they hadn't put us here.

You said you didn't
want a booth.

Yeah, but I didn't want to be
all the way over here.

Have you heard from Yvonne?

Not since Sunday,
but she said she was coming.

At least
she's calling you back.

I'm not saying
that I don't understand

why she's gone to ground.
She's humiliated.

She thinks everyone's
talking about her.

Well, all right,
but... we are talking about it

because we want to help.

Maybe it doesn't feel
that way to her.

Anyway, she said she's coming.

It's just Evelyn.
Hey.

She's not here yet?
Not yet.

Close all your
joint bank accounts,

secure all liquid assets
in your own name.

Stocks, cash, coins,
antiques, jewelry.

Change your beneficiaries,
defer your bonus.

Mm‐hmm.
Take or make copies

of... all your tax returns,
bank statements,

loan applications, deeds,
all of it.

I can't remember.

- Does Yvonne work?
- No.

Why did I think she...
Did she ever?

She was a travel agent
before the kids,

but she got her degree
in library science.

Well, if that's
something still...

encourage her.

Encourage whatever
her dreams are,

whatever makes
her independent.

Mm. Mm‐hmm.

Although obviously
don't tell her why.

That's what Martin said...
that he wants to work it out,

that they should
go see someone.

Oh, thank God.

Why don't you give them
the name of your counselor?

Didn't you and Frank love her?

Yeah, but I don't know
that Martin would

or he would even listen to her.

I always worried something
like this was going on with them.

She said that he didn't
used to be like this,

that he changed, especially
in the last few years.

Uh, you know,
I'm still happy for her.

That he's come clean...
like, that's a good sign.

- Yes.
- Really good.

It sounds counterintuitive
that a man would cheat

and still want to stay married,
but so many of them do.

Accelerate
any major credit purchases.

As one half of a secure
married couple,

you're a better credit risk
than a recent divorcé.

- Ah.
- Mm‐hmm.

Make orthodontist appointments

for all the kids
and pay in advance.

Get 'em into therapy
and pay in advance.

Did we mention your kids
are gonna hate you?

They hate me now.

I mean, look at Frank.

When I showed Frank the credit
card receipts that I had found,

he was so relieved
the jig was up, he cried.

And you came back from it.

You both wanted to rebuild
your marriage, and you did.

And so can they.

- Hi, ladies.
- Hey.

- Yvonne.
- Hi. - Hi.

- You've been married how long?
- 21 years in April.

Mm, okay, after 20,
you need to change

your beneficiary
with Social Security,

otherwise they
will automatically give Yvonne

your benefits after you die,
even if you remarry.

Look at you,
covering all the angles.

Hey, Dan, do you got any...
anything to add to this

- as a gentleman of the bar?
- Yeah, sure.

But don't operate on people
when you're toasted, right?

That's his advice.

Uh, when you do
finally leave,

make sure Yvonne knows
that is what you're doing.

Establish the legal date
of separation...

definitively.

That's the date a court
will use to determine support,

property interests,
and so on.

If you don't establish
that date,

there's no way the two of you
will agree on that later.

Wow. It must be exhausting to
be so right all the time, Doc.

You get used to it.

Hey, Bets.

- You're home.
- Yes, I am.

How was your day?

We had lunch with Yvonne.

She and Martin
are going to counseling.

She seemed hopeful.

If they love each other
and work hard,

they can get through this,
don't you think?

I just keep remembering
that movie, um...

It's so romantic,
in Italy,

the ambulance driver
and the nurse?

- "Farewell to Arms."
- Yes.

"The world breaks everyone,
and afterwards,

they're stronger
in the broken places."

I'm a little hungry.
Oh, I'll heat something up.

Let me know when it's done.

*DIRTY JOHN*
The Betty Broderick Story

Season 02 Episode 03
Episode Title :"Marriage Encounter"

Drew has already volunteered
for torts,

which... who volunteers
for torts?

- I'll take property.
- I'll take civil procedure.

That leaves Constitutional Law
for Dr. Dan.

Oh, that's all right.
Thanks.

Are you kidding?

Professor Miller said his
study group's the only reason

he made it through 1L.

Yeah, well, I didn't have a
study group during med school,

so, uh, I'm used
to working alone.

- Illegal search.
- That's Fourth Amendment,

United States v. Jeffers,
uh, 1951.

Mm‐hmm.

Marital privacy
with regards to birth control.

Oh, there's the baby.

Ninth Amendment,
Griswold v. Connecticut, 1965.

She keeps trying to translate
the Latin phrases.

She never underlines
the case names.

You can always just save the
money and type them yourself.

What do you mean?
You type up your own briefs?

How do you have time for that?

I make time.

In Flast v. Cohen,
the Chief Justice Warren

established
the double nexus test

which the taxpayer must satisfy
in order to have standing.

Uh, "Flast" with a T
or "Flask"?

"T."

In an eight‐to‐one decision.

Want to come up to the
Vineyard for the weekend, Doc?

I can't. Thanks.

Are you sure?

Weekends are family time
for me,

but I appreciate the offer.

What are we gonna build?

What are we gonna build?
We're gonna build a house.

Yeah.
Oh, it's okay.

No.

I knew you went
to an Ivy League school,

but the big firms
have big resources.

So tell me why
you should get my business

and not one of the big shops.

Now, you go with me,
it'll be me.

I will never pawn you off
on an associate.

- Because you don't have any.
- Yet.

But when I do,

their job will be
to help me focus

on winning cases
like your daughter's.

Now, off the obstacles

that she and you

and her other loved ones
have already faced...

Now comes the hurdle of proving
that the care and skill

exercised by her physician
was below

that customarily exercised
by comparable professionals,

a standard of care in
a community provider‐defined.

They decide
the doctors do...

and they protect their own.

So how do you clear
a hurdle like that?

How do you hold them
accountable?

You hire an Ivy League lawyer
who's also an MD.

There used to be one big firm
in San Diego

who had a lawyer like that,
but he's not with them anymore.

He's here with you.

Claude Debussy's
"Clair de Lune"... Plays

Hey, how are you?

Good to see you.

Hey, congratulations.

Thank you.

The wine list, monsieur?

Thank you.

Knew it was just
a matter of time

till you hit the gong,
Danny boy.

Meet my wife, Betty.

Mitch Gilman.
Pleasure.

- How do you do?
- How do you do?

I don't know
what "hitting the gong" is,

but I'm very proud.

Lawyer slang...
million‐dollar settlement.

You're gonna
be hearing it a lot.

I know I will,
and I can hardly believe it.

Just a minute ago
we were living on food stamps

in Boston,
and now Dan's hitting gongs.

Seems like a safe bet
you won't need to worry

about food stamps anymore.

Speaking of which,
your first time here?

Make sure you try
the quenelles.

- Okay.
- Good to see you.

Thank you.

I'm not celebrating
your achievement

with poached fish dumplings
no matter how good they are.

Why would you bring that up?

Why would...
the food stamps?

I...

You should be proud.

People should know how hard you
worked to get where you are.

What if I don't want them to?

Why wouldn't
you want them to?

Because then they think
they know me,

and they don't,
and they don't need to.

Okay, I'm sorry.

It's fine.
I know you are.

Should we order some Chablis?
Hmm?

Let's.

♪ Sit on the bed,
look at the sky ♪

Okay, easy peasy.

♪ Up in the sky ♪

Mr. Broderick?

Yeah, yeah.
I'm leaving.

Smile means good?

You look like a Kennedy.
How do they feel?

Remember when you were a kid

and you'd get
a new pair of sneakers?

All springy...

all the possibilities.

I think this is
the third time

we've been here this month.

I was afraid they wouldn't
have the mussel soup

and the roasted veal special

that they never don't seem
to have these days.

They haven't changed
in a while, have they?

Resting on their laurels,
I guess.

Maybe we should find
another spot

until this one
gets exciting again.

- Maybe we should.
- Mm.

Still, would you ever have
thought we'd get bored

with a place this expensive?

- Don't.
- Don't what?

I already know what
you're gonna say again...

You never want to think
about it.

You never miss a chance
to bring it up,

how our life used to be shit.

It wasn't shit, Dan,
but it was hard,

and I think talking about it

at least reminds us
to be grateful.

You don't have to tell me
that it was hard.

I know it was hard,
and I am grateful.

Bordeaux, Mr. Broderick.

Yeah.

Mm.

Hey.
What are you doing here?

I was just working late.

Figured I'd swing by
on my way home,

see if you were, too,
which of course you are.

Can I get you something?
A coffee?

Yeah, Irish coffee,
minus the coffee.

Well...

so, uh...

I'm just gonna say it.

I asked her to marry me.

Amelia?

I deserve that, but, yes.

I said congratulations

and that I'd hoped he found
everything he was looking for.

And then I hung up...

Before I embarrassed myself.

No one's going to that
wedding, you know that, right?

It's completely insane.

Laughable.

At the end of the month.

Oh.

I was, uh, pushing
for the county clerk,

but she, uh... she wants
the whole shindig.

Anytime now you can just...

I don't know...
jump in and say something.

I think you deserve
to be happy.

I think you mean that.

I do.

You've earned it.

It's just so strange.

I thought there was something
to hope for still,

some... something lost
to find again.

But there isn't.

It's really over now.

"Amelia M. Scheffer
and Martin Newsome

"invite you to share in the joy

of the beginning
of their new life together."

Ridiculous.

Ridiculous.

When I think about what
she's been through...

the shame, the guilt,
the fear,

it's heartbreaking,
and then on top of that, this?

I know.
It's so awful.

Let's take her somewhere
gorgeous on the day...

Carlsbad or,
uh, Mount Laguna.

Palm Springs...
she loves it there.

What?

Richard was Martin's intern
out of law school.

I don't have a choice.
You're joking.

Don't tell me
you're going, too.

All right,
then I won't tell you.

You know... you know that Frank
and Martin are close.

They sail together.

So let him go
to his friend's wedding,

and you stay away
out of loyalty to yours.

I wish it were that easy.

If it were easy,
it wouldn't matter so much.

At least Janet won't go.

Maybe.

But when John was alive,
he and Martin were close.

They were Lambda Chis.

Has Yvonne asked you
if you're going?

She asked you not to?

Because if the situation
were reversed,

you know what she would do.

Sorry.
Sorry.

Give me 10, maybe 15.

Why aren't you dressed?
Didn't you speak to Evelyn?

I mean, you know they're going.
Everybody's going.

Is that what
I should say to Yvonne...

"Everybody's going,
so I had to"?

Why do you have
to tell Yvonne anything.

She knows how this goes.

Besides, why do you care
so much what Martin does, okay?

I mean, if he's such a shit...

Isn't Yvonne better off
without him?

You know what?
I don't care.

But I'm not gonna stand there

and toast his happiness
and... and condone this.

There are two sides
to every story, okay?

If you were being honest
with yourself,

you'd admit
that you don't know both.

Do you?
Have you asked him?

It's none of my business.

It's none of your business
what kind of person

your friend is?

How he treats people
who trust him,

depend on him,
that he made a vow to?

I cannot think about it
that way, all right?

I cannot control
what other people do.

No, you can't.

We're not available to come
to the phone right now.

Please leave a message
after the beep.

Thank you.

Hey, Yvonne.
It's me again.

I just wanted to let you know
I'm home,

and I can come over
if you want some company.

There he is.

Where's your better half, Doc?
Oh, down with the flu.

Such a shame.

She really wanted to be here.
Thank you.

- To Martin?
- To Martin.

Big day.

Cheers.
Cheers.

If not, just know
I'm here thinking about you.

And you're not alone.

Okay, up again.
Tracy, take him outside.

- Okay, sure.
- Let's go.

- Happy Sunday, Betty.
- Happy Sunday, Father.

Ryan is ready for his first
reconciliation, right, sweetie?

Wow.
Excellent.

Also, remind him mistakes
and accidents are not sins.

You hear that?

Okay, bud, good for you.
Go find your sisters.

All right.
See you next week.

Thank you, Father.

Go to your sisters.

All right, teamwork!
We all have to work together.

All right, on three!
One, two...

I want to go
to Marriage Encounter.

What, the... the church
weekend thing

that my parents went to
when we were kids?

Why?

Just...

Something is happening.

What does that even mean?

I don't have time for this.

I've got a thousand pages
of transcripts to go through.

Something is happening
with us.

Back in the time that
you never want to talk about,

it was hard,
but at least you kissed me.

You touched my hair.

Now you don't even
look at me.

I'm scared.

I'm scared.

I don't feel like
I'm worth anything.

I feel like we are speeding
in the dark,

and I can't see
what's up ahead,

and I'm... I'm anticipating
something terrible happening.

Bets.

- We're losing touch with the world...
- Bets.

If you're worried

they'll shame you

for sleeping in on Sundays,
don't be.

You can miss Mass
and still be a good Catholic.

You have to believe
to be one.

It's all just a
show to me now...

run by these simpleminded,
weak people

who... built this network
of fantasies

because they can't deal
with life how it is.

How long have you
felt this way?

I don't know.

I just don't respect
it anymore.

It's...

It makes me want
to roll my eyes.

So we won't go.

I didn't say that.

If you think it's important
that we go...

we'll go.

I‐I was just trying
to be honest.

I figured that's probably
a good place to start

if we're gonna go to church.

I'm touching your hair, okay?

A marriage is a lifetime.

That's why it's so wise
to take this time

to honestly talk
about your future

and your challenges.

Communication today
will begin with the books

you have in your hands.

I'll pose questions,

and you'll write down
your answers

for each other to hear.

What are my hopes
and dreams in my life?

How do I feel
about my answer?

When have I felt most loved?

How do I want you to see me?

What kind of failure
disturbs me most?

How do I feel about death?

"Who am I?"

"Betty Broderick is pretty.

"People like her.
She's a good mother.

"She's a good teacher.

"She's funny.
She's active.

"She's always busy
doing something,

"but never really
does anything perfectly.

"She loves kids, but feels
trapped by them all the time.

"She feels incompetent
at keeping house.

"She's an awful listener.

"She doesn't hear people
the way she should,

especially her husband."

That... that's all I have
for that one.

You can keep going.

"The difference
between wants and needs."

Okay.

This might sound like
a want, but to me,

we need a sofa...

"So you and I can be
physically close

"in the evenings and share
the day's events and feelings,

"so we can go to bed in love.

"Not what we have now.

"By the time we go to bed,
I'm full of resentment

"for the lack of closeness
and communication,

"and how can
I make love to that?

"I love you and want to share
all that I am with you,

"but I also need
to be loved by you.

"You know all
the other reasons,

"but the number‐one thing
I loved about you

in the beginning was how much
you loved me and showed it."

"I love everything about you
now as much as I did then,

except that you don't show
your love for me anymore."

"But you are the most
important person

I have in the whole universe,
bar abso..."

Sorry.

"Bar absolutely none,

"and I'd be lost without you.

"You will never be replaced.

We've shared too much."

Thank you.

Dan?

"Dearest Bets...

"If I were told that I had
a short time left to live,

"I'd feel I had wasted
my whole life.

"Everything I've done so far
has been in preparation

"to be successful
in this world,

"to get on with
the important things in life,

but I feel lately that...

time is running out on me."

"I've always put
my relationships last,

"always thought about...

"'I'll get to it next summer
or next year

or after I make partner.'"

"I've told myself I've got
to earn a decent living,

"get established,

acquire certain
necessary possessions"...

"Before I can indulge
in the luxury

"of being a...

attentive,
thoughtful human being."

"Even now I believe

"when money
ceases to be a problem...

"I'll be happy then,

"a more loving and...

lovable man."

"I am...

"Sometimes afraid that this
is self‐delusion.

"One worldly goal
will unplan another

until it's too late."

"I want to be a responsible,
sensitive husband and father."

We'll get through
this together.

"A person...

"who will be missed
when he dies,

"and I do firmly believe
I can be...

"given time.

"I've made many sacrifices,

"but I've made you sacrifice
as well,

"perhaps even more than me,
and I want to reward you

"for all the...

"All of those sacrifices

and all of those deprivations."

They love it.

"I want you to feel happy
and secure,

"to know that it was
all worth it.

"I do believe
that you deserve

"every bit as much love,
consideration,

"and sensitivity
as every other woman combined

"gets from their husband.

"So...

I will try my best."

"Love, Dan."

Cyndi Lauper's
"Money Changes Everything"... plays

- Hello?
- Bets.

- I got you a present.
- I don't want a present.

Did you see the credit card
statement I left on the table?

Yes.

Well, did you look
at the numbers I circled?

- Yes.
- What the hell, Bets?

Oh, Brandy Louis
was shoes for the kids.

All of it?

Loafers and tennies, plus
the girls' needed Mary Janes.

Neiman's was the crystal
pitcher and glasses...

- Mm‐hmm.
- And my dress...

for the Fletcher's party.
Right.

Socks for the kids
and pillow shams.

Wine for Karen and Frank's
anniversary, remember?

Uh‐huh.

And, well,
those were shoes for me,

and a St. John pantsuit,
that was for me.

But this one for $987.14
isn't me.

- Bets...
- It isn't.

Even if that's true,

you still have to exercise
some restraint.

Said the man
who just went in

on a however‐many‐floor
office building in Telluride...

another one.

- That was an investment.
- And so is this...

in our pleasure and happiness
that we deserve.

How can I be happy
when there's a $1,000 charge

on our credit card bill

and you can't even begin
to tell me where it's from?

Oh, shit.

What's the name
of that, um, place on Girard,

the, um, bespoke tailor?

- That made your new shirts?
- Mm‐hmm.

Wow. Mystery solved.

And I forgive you.

- I'll see you tonight.
- Bye.

- Hey, found you.
- Come on.

Last one in's a rotten egg.

We want to belong here.

You like this place better
than the other one?

They both have
private beaches,

but tennis fits us better
than golf, don't you think?

Mm.

And Evelyn's got our
recommendation ready to go.

Well, there's nothing that says

we can't eventually
be members of both.

Oh.

Did you not even go
for a swim?

does amazing blues,

and you look
so terrific in blue.

Dan looks great, too.

Oh, well,
he's always loved clothes.

Just now all his suits
are European...

because they can be.

He started calling himself
the Count DuMoney.

As a joke, of course.

- Oh, my God.
- I love it.

I love it, too, but if you
tell anyone I told you,

I'll kill you.

Your table's ready,
Mrs. Broderick.

Oh, dinnertime.
Mwah.

Bye, babe.

Have fun.

...playing with fire.
But at the same time...

Yeah, I know,
but she's just so beautiful.

Hey!

Uh, looks like
my table's ready.

Enjoy your dinner,
Mrs. Broderick.

Just so beautiful.

The wine list,
Mr. Broderick.

So beautiful.

Beautiful.

Hmm.

So who were you talking
about to Mitch?

What?

Before we sat down.

You said someone
was beautiful.

Oh, yeah.

It's, um, some new girl
in the office

that, uh,
Mitch has a thing for.

He doesn't work
in your office.

Well, he works
in the building.

She's in the lobby
at, uh, reception.

What's her name?

I don't know.
Why?

You don't say things
like that.

You don't call anyone
"beautiful."

Well, I don't think
that's true, but...

I was just humoring Mitch.

I don't know.

Something with an I.
Laura maybe.

Reception,
please hold.

Reception.
How can I help you?

Okay, send it down.

Reception,
how can I help you?

Yes, this is Linda.
I'll transfer you.

Okay.

Sand castle contest?

Boys versus girls?

Or every man for himself?
No, thanks.

You hungry?

I got, uh, roast beef.

I got BLT.

I'm not hungry.

Whatever you did
with those potatoes,

keep doing it.

Cheese is what I did
to those potatoes.

And thank you.

Hey, uh, I hired
an assistant.

- Finally.
- Yeah.

Now we can spend
more time together.

Where'd you find them?

The, uh, building
receptionist pool.

What's her name?

Linda Kolkeena?

Uh, no, Kolkena.

A receptionist
is gonna assist a lawyer

who litigates
multimillion‐dollar cases?

She have a degree?

Well, she's a bright
young woman whose supervisor

says she's a quick study
with a good work ethic.

Has she ever worked
in a law office?

Can she type?

She'll do research,
interview clients.

She doesn't need to type.

Is she just so beautiful?

You're being childish.

It's childish to think
it's crazy

you're hiring a girl with
no education and no experience?

That is the right word...
"crazy."

You're being crazy!

Get rid of her.

I mean it.

Get rid of her
by the end of the month,

or you can get out
of this house.

Oh...

You're so lucky, Betty.

You are so lucky.

My teacher says if you say
it the first day of the month,

you have a lucky month.

Why do you say it twice?
Why is it rabbits?

I don't know.

Mom, do you know
why we say "rabbit rabbit"

on the first day of the month?
Huh?

Maybe it's because
of jumping.

Rabbits jump.

Maybe they're jumping
for luck, jumping into luck.

Jumping away from bad luck.

If you're done, get ready!

Get your stuff.

Law offices
of Dan Broderick.

Good morning.
Is Linda Kolkena there?

Uh, just a moment.

Hello, this is Linda.

I said get rid of her.

Get rid of her by the first
or get out.

But I called there today,
and she answers the phone.

Why is she still there, Dan?

Did you not hear me?

Did you think
I didn't mean it?

No.

I knew you did.

But you made a mistake.

You thought
it was your decision.

You think you decide
who works for me,

for my practice,

where I make the money
that you spend...

but you don't.

I pay for your life...

everything about it.

I pay for this house
that you live it in.

So, if anyone's gonna be
getting out, it's you.
