Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,874
Previously on Boston legal
2
00:00:00,909 --> 00:00:02,825
It's time to get back out there and start dating again.
3
00:00:02,860 --> 00:00:04,242
Shirley's told me so much about you.
4
00:00:04,277 --> 00:00:05,173
Giggity-giggity.
5
00:00:05,208 --> 00:00:07,820
I met someone else and the night took a whole other twist.
6
00:00:07,855 --> 00:00:09,620
I have been arrested.
7
00:00:09,655 --> 00:00:10,082
What for?
8
00:00:10,117 --> 00:00:11,613
Impersonating a police officer.
9
00:00:11,614 --> 00:00:12,836
I'm such a loser.
10
00:00:12,871 --> 00:00:15,603
I want you to find out if my daughter is using drugs again.
11
00:00:15,638 --> 00:00:16,804
What time do you get off work?
12
00:00:16,839 --> 00:00:17,587
I get off at 7.
13
00:00:17,622 --> 00:00:21,225
I would appreciate your protecting my relationship with her if you can.
14
00:00:21,260 --> 00:00:22,476
What about my relationship?
15
00:00:22,511 --> 00:00:23,585
Night terrors?
16
00:00:23,620 --> 00:00:25,074
I haven't had them in years.
17
00:00:25,109 --> 00:00:26,286
I'm afraid of clowns.
18
00:00:26,321 --> 00:00:29,005
There's something screwy going on up there.
19
00:00:35,832 --> 00:00:40,610
And over 40% of the groundwater in the United states, 40%!
20
00:00:40,645 --> 00:00:44,412
is contaminated by industrial, agricultural, household pollution.
21
00:00:44,447 --> 00:00:46,498
Over the last five years,
22
00:00:46,533 --> 00:00:50,522
hundreds of thousands of blood tests given to Massachusetts children
23
00:00:50,557 --> 00:00:53,106
have shown elevated levels of lead in their blood.
24
00:00:53,141 --> 00:00:54,940
And yet what is our biggest fear?
25
00:00:54,975 --> 00:00:56,740
The dirty bomb. Not the dirty water.
26
00:00:56,775 --> 00:00:58,172
Objection, your honor.
27
00:00:58,207 --> 00:01:01,780
Mr. Shore is introducing evidence in his closing that was never presented at trial.
28
00:01:01,815 --> 00:01:05,270
Nonsense, your honor. I refer you to plaintiff's exhibit number apple.
29
00:01:05,673 --> 00:01:06,645
I beg your pardon?
30
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,823
Apple trash can is picked from God.
31
00:01:10,403 --> 00:01:11,261
Mr. Shore...
32
00:01:11,296 --> 00:01:14,590
Not the years 60 when classic electrons are free.
33
00:01:14,625 --> 00:01:15,999
Objection.
34
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:17,135
Uh, I think.
35
00:01:17,170 --> 00:01:20,836
Mr. Shore, you have a notorious history of courtroom theatrics.
36
00:01:20,837 --> 00:01:25,133
If your aim is to force a mistrial, you will be disappointed.
37
00:01:25,688 --> 00:01:28,892
Pillow pants join forces over embargo pylons.
38
00:01:30,406 --> 00:01:34,210
You aren't sailing past honor for the liking of a room.
39
00:01:34,460 --> 00:01:36,656
These questions are birthday basements.
40
00:01:36,691 --> 00:01:38,976
To end the blue radish is the upside of luxury
41
00:01:39,011 --> 00:01:42,995
and sparking a good lizard can only make tears fall in hindsight.
42
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:46,642
Puddles do not ask for why not.
43
00:01:46,979 --> 00:01:51,517
It is cheese. Breath and wind.
44
00:01:51,940 --> 00:01:53,983
It is cheese.
45
00:02:15,413 --> 00:02:16,862
What?
46
00:02:48,346 --> 00:02:51,607
Word salad. It's a phenomenon of confused language,
47
00:02:51,642 --> 00:02:54,868
seen most often in patients with schizophrenia
48
00:02:54,903 --> 00:02:57,614
or another underlying psychosis.
49
00:02:57,649 --> 00:03:02,490
Now similar symptoms may also result from head trauma or an invasive tumor.
50
00:03:03,041 --> 00:03:04,198
And I have?
51
00:03:04,233 --> 00:03:05,355
None of those.
52
00:03:05,356 --> 00:03:08,590
According to the MRI, Your brain looks normal.
53
00:03:08,625 --> 00:03:10,089
I wouldn't know if it didn't.
54
00:03:10,124 --> 00:03:14,365
Also, you don't display any symptoms of psychosis or schizophrenia.
55
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,670
Well, we hardly know each other.
56
00:03:16,705 --> 00:03:20,734
The truth of it is, the brain is very much a mystery.
57
00:03:20,769 --> 00:03:22,338
It's theoretically possible
58
00:03:22,373 --> 00:03:26,772
that these symptoms might be brought on by acute anxiety.
59
00:03:27,716 --> 00:03:30,009
How are things at home?
60
00:03:30,044 --> 00:03:32,303
I live alone in a hotel.
61
00:03:33,345 --> 00:03:35,126
I see.
62
00:03:35,808 --> 00:03:37,103
Word salad?
63
00:03:37,138 --> 00:03:42,022
It's talking in unintelligible gibberish, brought on by anxiety.
64
00:03:42,057 --> 00:03:43,364
He gave me some pills.
65
00:03:43,399 --> 00:03:44,703
Oh, let me see.
66
00:03:47,749 --> 00:03:50,784
Blue. I like blue. Something to wash it down with?
67
00:03:50,819 --> 00:03:55,412
I don't know. I rather value my melancholy.
68
00:03:55,447 --> 00:03:58,217
It used to be a personality trait one was allowed to have,
69
00:03:58,252 --> 00:04:01,591
like Abraham Lincoln or Lord Byron.
70
00:04:01,626 --> 00:04:05,564
Now one is required to grin and say things like, "great".
71
00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:06,979
You don't need pills.
72
00:04:07,014 --> 00:04:08,358
You need to stop helping people.
73
00:04:08,393 --> 00:04:09,517
What do you mean?
74
00:04:09,518 --> 00:04:12,551
All those old people who were being fleeced by that conservator,
75
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:15,734
the smoker, that gloomy little girl who wouldn't smile,
76
00:04:15,769 --> 00:04:17,484
you tried to help those people, and don't deny it.
77
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:22,025
I don't, but what the hell does that have to do with this episode of word salad?
78
00:04:22,060 --> 00:04:25,879
Well, Alan, the human mind is like a bucket. It can only hold so much.
79
00:04:25,914 --> 00:04:27,706
You see all that suffering going on around you,
80
00:04:27,741 --> 00:04:33,128
and you get involved, it fills up your bucket and soon it's overflowing.
81
00:04:33,453 --> 00:04:37,332
The doctor recommended I take a few days off.
82
00:04:37,367 --> 00:04:40,787
I know just the thing. I'm gonna take you to my spa.
83
00:04:41,541 --> 00:04:43,914
I'm gonna empty your bucket.
84
00:04:52,009 --> 00:04:53,952
I live at 147 Edgar street.
85
00:04:53,987 --> 00:04:55,860
And I'm at 149 Edgar street.
86
00:04:55,895 --> 00:04:57,160
We baby-sit each other's kids.
87
00:04:57,195 --> 00:04:58,425
We go to Costbuy together.
88
00:04:58,426 --> 00:04:58,935
Split everything.
89
00:04:58,970 --> 00:05:00,465
Toilet paper, paper towels.
90
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:01,650
Jumbo ketchup 2-pack.
91
00:05:01,685 --> 00:05:02,765
I have the lawn mower.
92
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,758
Hedge clipper, weed whacker.
93
00:05:03,793 --> 00:05:06,890
And we both share Ray.
94
00:05:06,925 --> 00:05:09,252
There's just one problem with this arrangement.
95
00:05:09,287 --> 00:05:10,828
It's completely illegal.
96
00:05:10,863 --> 00:05:11,422
I'm afraid so.
97
00:05:11,423 --> 00:05:13,185
Well, for six years, everything was fine,
98
00:05:13,220 --> 00:05:14,912
but you know how people start to talk.
99
00:05:14,947 --> 00:05:16,760
And one day we came home with the children,
100
00:05:16,795 --> 00:05:18,573
and Ray was being handcuffed and arrested.
101
00:05:18,608 --> 00:05:20,138
Right in front of 147.
102
00:05:20,173 --> 00:05:21,665
Now, Denise, we've done nothing wrong.
103
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:22,777
There's no victim here.
104
00:05:22,812 --> 00:05:23,817
To the contrary.
105
00:05:23,852 --> 00:05:26,758
In this chaotic world we live in where there is no stability,
106
00:05:26,793 --> 00:05:30,235
we have found a way to raise a family in a cooperative, loving way.
107
00:05:30,270 --> 00:05:32,636
And now we're being punished for it. I think that's wrong.
108
00:05:32,671 --> 00:05:33,854
We all do.
109
00:05:33,889 --> 00:05:35,038
Especially me.
110
00:05:36,036 --> 00:05:39,812
Guys, the law on polygamy has been settled for a long time.
111
00:05:39,847 --> 00:05:41,319
So? It's time for a change.
112
00:05:41,354 --> 00:05:43,709
Denise, we are very committed to this.
113
00:05:43,744 --> 00:05:45,608
I know I am.
114
00:05:46,317 --> 00:05:47,999
Right.
115
00:05:54,130 --> 00:05:56,141
Chris Mott, Shirley Schmidt.
116
00:05:56,176 --> 00:05:56,903
How do you do?
117
00:05:56,938 --> 00:05:57,630
Paul Lewiston.
118
00:05:57,631 --> 00:05:58,176
Hello.
119
00:05:58,211 --> 00:06:00,204
Chris is an old buddy of mine from Annapolis.
120
00:06:00,205 --> 00:06:03,399
Right now he's founder and CEO of Alcove games.
121
00:06:03,434 --> 00:06:06,594
Last quarter they posted a profit of $502 mil.
122
00:06:06,629 --> 00:06:08,546
Very impressive. How can we help you?
123
00:06:08,581 --> 00:06:09,856
A wrongful death suit.
124
00:06:09,891 --> 00:06:11,132
Completely frivolous,
125
00:06:11,133 --> 00:06:14,271
filed by the mother of a kid who died while playing their latest video game.
126
00:06:14,306 --> 00:06:15,030
He died?
127
00:06:15,065 --> 00:06:16,175
Heart attack.
128
00:06:16,176 --> 00:06:17,941
How is that even possible?
129
00:06:17,976 --> 00:06:19,628
He played the game for nearly two days.
130
00:06:19,663 --> 00:06:22,226
Didn't eat, didn't drink. His heart stopped.
131
00:06:22,261 --> 00:06:23,621
The game is called "Hell born".
132
00:06:23,656 --> 00:06:26,362
You start out as a ghost fighting your way out of hell,
133
00:06:26,397 --> 00:06:27,953
and when you finally reach the surface,
134
00:06:27,988 --> 00:06:31,660
you need to track down your lost soul in order to become human again.
135
00:06:31,695 --> 00:06:33,615
Sounds like a typical day around here.
136
00:06:33,650 --> 00:06:35,500
Like I said, it's a frivolous suit.
137
00:06:35,535 --> 00:06:37,164
No jury's gonna hold a company responsible
138
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:39,322
because a parent let a kid play a game for two days straight.
139
00:06:39,357 --> 00:06:40,943
But there's a glitch.
140
00:06:40,978 --> 00:06:43,898
I need this to go away before it goes to trial.
141
00:06:43,933 --> 00:06:47,753
We've got a sequel coming out next month and bad press could kill us.
142
00:06:47,788 --> 00:06:48,796
Shouldn't be a problem.
143
00:06:48,831 --> 00:06:52,020
I'm thinking we can get this kicked on summary judgment.
144
00:06:52,055 --> 00:06:55,603
$502 million, you've landed your first whale.
145
00:06:55,638 --> 00:06:56,325
Nice work, partner.
146
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,311
Thank you.
147
00:06:57,951 --> 00:07:01,400
Paul, how's your daughter doing in rehab?
148
00:07:01,435 --> 00:07:03,889
Rachel's doing just fine, Brad.
149
00:07:03,924 --> 00:07:05,700
Tell her I said hello?
150
00:07:06,397 --> 00:07:08,075
I will.
151
00:07:26,791 --> 00:07:29,387
I never took you for a spa person, Denny.
152
00:07:29,422 --> 00:07:31,171
Oh, man. I love it.
153
00:07:31,206 --> 00:07:34,568
Being touched and caressed and...
154
00:07:34,603 --> 00:07:35,714
Milked.
155
00:07:36,159 --> 00:07:38,019
Thank you, Digna.
156
00:07:40,507 --> 00:07:43,743
Are you still spooked by this word jumble thing?
157
00:07:43,778 --> 00:07:46,031
Word salad. Yes.
158
00:07:46,066 --> 00:07:48,557
Happens to me all the time. You get used to it.
159
00:07:48,592 --> 00:07:50,538
I don't want to get used to it.
160
00:07:50,573 --> 00:07:53,446
It was extremely upsetting to be speaking and
161
00:07:53,481 --> 00:07:56,863
to see confusion on the faces of everyone around me.
162
00:07:56,898 --> 00:07:59,782
I'm not the most connected individual, Denny.
163
00:07:59,817 --> 00:08:05,906
Sometimes words are all that allow me to feel like I'm a part of the world, a part of life.
164
00:08:06,264 --> 00:08:09,456
If I don't have words, then I'm alone.
165
00:08:09,491 --> 00:08:13,418
Ashtray, soda pop, dingo?
166
00:08:16,095 --> 00:08:18,188
Gotcha.
167
00:08:19,579 --> 00:08:21,691
Now relax.
168
00:08:25,566 --> 00:08:27,280
Wes was obsessed with the game.
169
00:08:27,315 --> 00:08:28,959
All the kids were talking about it.
170
00:08:28,994 --> 00:08:31,142
It was the only thing he wanted for his birthday.
171
00:08:31,177 --> 00:08:32,823
So you bought it for him.
172
00:08:32,858 --> 00:08:37,583
Yes. He would play before school, after school, in the middle of the night.
173
00:08:37,618 --> 00:08:42,309
He'd played other video games before, but this one, this one was different.
174
00:08:42,344 --> 00:08:43,700
He couldn't stop.
175
00:08:43,735 --> 00:08:45,455
His grades began to slip, so I took the game away.
176
00:08:45,490 --> 00:08:46,825
How did he react?
177
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:48,126
We argued constantly.
178
00:08:48,161 --> 00:08:50,850
So he began going to friend's houses after school to play.
179
00:08:50,885 --> 00:08:53,610
I realized I couldn't win, so I gave him the game back,
180
00:08:53,645 --> 00:08:56,336
figuring aleast that way, I could keep an eye on him.
181
00:08:56,371 --> 00:08:58,495
What happened the weekend your son died?
182
00:08:58,530 --> 00:09:01,192
I got home after working a double shift at the store,
183
00:09:01,227 --> 00:09:06,918
and, um, I only had 15 minutes to change before I left for my second job.
184
00:09:07,201 --> 00:09:08,788
I clean offices.
185
00:09:08,823 --> 00:09:10,942
I told Wes it was time to quit.
186
00:09:10,977 --> 00:09:15,810
He said he just needed five more minutes to get to the next level.
187
00:09:15,845 --> 00:09:18,896
He promised he would go to bed as soon as he was finished.
188
00:09:18,931 --> 00:09:21,742
So I kissed him, said good night and went to work.
189
00:09:21,777 --> 00:09:23,369
What time did you arrive home?
190
00:09:23,404 --> 00:09:25,075
About 5 the next morning.
191
00:09:25,110 --> 00:09:27,840
I just fell into bed with my clothes on.
192
00:09:27,875 --> 00:09:30,571
I woke up at noon and went to check on him.
193
00:09:32,425 --> 00:09:35,025
And that's when I found him.
194
00:09:35,289 --> 00:09:39,744
He was slumped in his chair in front of the screen and...
195
00:09:39,779 --> 00:09:44,200
you know, at first, I, I thought he'd just fallen asleep.
196
00:09:46,117 --> 00:09:48,771
Would you like to take a recess?
197
00:09:48,806 --> 00:09:52,570
No. I would rather get this over with.
198
00:09:56,416 --> 00:09:59,581
Mrs. Beller, how old was Wesley?
199
00:09:59,616 --> 00:10:01,696
And you're a single parent?
200
00:10:01,731 --> 00:10:02,509
Yes.
201
00:10:02,544 --> 00:10:04,422
Wes' father is no longer in the picture.
202
00:10:04,457 --> 00:10:07,744
So you were solely responsible for his care, clothing, feeding him,
203
00:10:07,779 --> 00:10:09,570
taking care of him when he was sick?
204
00:10:09,605 --> 00:10:10,092
Yes.
205
00:10:10,093 --> 00:10:13,250
And you made sure that he ate right, got enough sleep, did his homework?
206
00:10:13,285 --> 00:10:15,602
I took very good care of my son.
207
00:10:15,637 --> 00:10:17,570
I'm sure you did.
208
00:10:17,605 --> 00:10:21,148
And yet the coroner's report lists the cause of death as a myocardial infarction
209
00:10:21,183 --> 00:10:23,241
brought on by physical exhaustion.
210
00:10:23,276 --> 00:10:27,176
Apparently your son did not eat, drink or sleep for over 36 hours straight.
211
00:10:27,211 --> 00:10:30,832
Now I can't speak to the pain that you must be feeling,
212
00:10:31,103 --> 00:10:33,477
but how did this happen?
213
00:10:33,512 --> 00:10:35,851
I work two jobs, Mr. Chase.
214
00:10:35,886 --> 00:10:37,051
I understand that.
215
00:10:37,086 --> 00:10:39,400
But I can't help wondering that,
216
00:10:39,435 --> 00:10:42,691
if you had checked in on your son that night instead of falling asleep,
217
00:10:42,726 --> 00:10:44,548
that maybe he'd be alive today.
218
00:10:44,583 --> 00:10:45,556
Now isn't that correct?
219
00:10:45,591 --> 00:10:46,508
Objection.
220
00:10:46,509 --> 00:10:48,668
Don't answer that.
221
00:11:07,265 --> 00:11:08,687
What's the problem?
222
00:11:08,722 --> 00:11:13,135
In responding to Ms. Beller's production request, we came across something.
223
00:11:13,170 --> 00:11:14,752
When your company designed "Hell born,"
224
00:11:14,787 --> 00:11:20,272
you commissioned a study that documented the effects the game had on its players.
225
00:11:20,307 --> 00:11:23,674
The report states that playing the game dramatically increases
226
00:11:23,709 --> 00:11:25,833
the dopamine levels in the players' brains.
227
00:11:25,868 --> 00:11:27,075
I'm aware of it. Sure.
228
00:11:27,110 --> 00:11:30,251
Chris, this means Mrs. Beller can argue that Alcove games knew their games
229
00:11:30,286 --> 00:11:34,133
were addictive when they sold them to the public, including minors.
230
00:11:34,998 --> 00:11:38,006
Oh, that's ridiculous. That's just one study.
231
00:11:38,041 --> 00:11:40,958
Besides, it's an established fact that all video games
232
00:11:40,993 --> 00:11:43,359
increase the dopamine levels in the brain.
233
00:11:43,625 --> 00:11:45,466
At least the good ones do.
234
00:11:45,501 --> 00:11:46,954
Are there any other studies out there,
235
00:11:46,989 --> 00:11:49,049
anything like this that can bite us in the ass?
236
00:11:49,084 --> 00:11:51,439
No, just the one.
237
00:11:52,513 --> 00:11:54,060
Okay.
238
00:11:54,095 --> 00:11:55,894
We're required to turn this over to Ms. Beller.
239
00:11:55,929 --> 00:11:59,173
As per the rules of discovery, we'll provide it with the 100,000
240
00:11:59,208 --> 00:12:02,418
other pages of documents that pertain to this production request.
241
00:12:02,453 --> 00:12:05,094
So you're gonna bury it?
242
00:12:05,129 --> 00:12:07,735
No. That would be unethical.
243
00:12:07,770 --> 00:12:10,183
We'll simply comply.
244
00:12:10,218 --> 00:12:11,827
Fully.
245
00:12:15,579 --> 00:12:17,002
It's not religious.
246
00:12:17,037 --> 00:12:18,390
It's practical.
247
00:12:18,425 --> 00:12:20,251
I'm a dietician at Mercy hospital.
248
00:12:20,286 --> 00:12:22,858
And what does every working mother always plead?
249
00:12:22,893 --> 00:12:24,619
I wish I had a wife.
250
00:12:24,654 --> 00:12:26,310
Well, I actually do.
251
00:12:26,345 --> 00:12:30,185
Imagine leaving for your job and never having to worry about day care,
252
00:12:30,220 --> 00:12:32,471
late baby-sitters, nightmare nannies.
253
00:12:32,506 --> 00:12:35,051
Your child gets sick, you have someone there you trust,
254
00:12:35,086 --> 00:12:38,101
who loves your children, someone with a warm home
255
00:12:38,136 --> 00:12:41,082
who cooks healthy, homemade meals for your children
256
00:12:41,117 --> 00:12:44,940
and has a lovingly prepared dinner waiting for you when you walk in the door,
257
00:12:44,975 --> 00:12:46,686
someone who bakes.
258
00:12:46,721 --> 00:12:48,397
Sounds wonderful.
259
00:12:51,975 --> 00:12:53,229
Continue.
260
00:12:53,264 --> 00:12:54,773
And our kids love it, too.
261
00:12:54,808 --> 00:12:58,988
At any one time, there's a parent to give a hug, some advice, share a story.
262
00:12:59,023 --> 00:13:03,169
Families these days are no longer together, scattered across the country.
263
00:13:03,204 --> 00:13:08,223
Ours is simply another form of an old-fashioned extended family.
264
00:13:08,646 --> 00:13:11,742
Who are we kidding? It's about the sex.
265
00:13:11,777 --> 00:13:15,151
I'm a stay-at-home mom. I have 3 kids ages 1 to 6.
266
00:13:15,186 --> 00:13:18,525
That's 24/7 breast-feeding, potty-training, fever,
267
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:21,414
solid food, diapers, ear infection, dishes,
268
00:13:21,449 --> 00:13:23,457
homeworks, toys, chaos.
269
00:13:23,492 --> 00:13:27,774
Raising children is the single most exhausting job ever anywhere, anyhow.
270
00:13:27,809 --> 00:13:29,703
Did I make myself clear? I'll say it again.
271
00:13:29,738 --> 00:13:31,806
It is the most exhausting job ever.
272
00:13:31,841 --> 00:13:32,978
Don't you think?
273
00:13:33,013 --> 00:13:33,908
Absolutely.
274
00:13:33,909 --> 00:13:35,337
Objection.
275
00:13:36,030 --> 00:13:37,400
Sustained.
276
00:13:37,435 --> 00:13:41,140
Strike that last remark, even though it's completely true.
277
00:13:41,175 --> 00:13:44,133
Alena, you were telling us about sex?
278
00:13:44,168 --> 00:13:46,463
Oh, yes. I love my children,
279
00:13:46,498 --> 00:13:48,631
but by the end of the day, I am bone tired.
280
00:13:48,666 --> 00:13:50,729
My husband comes home, he's tired, too,
281
00:13:50,764 --> 00:13:53,526
but somehow, he still has a little energy for baby making.
282
00:13:53,561 --> 00:13:55,222
Now if we were in a traditional marriage,
283
00:13:55,257 --> 00:13:57,537
at that moment, we would have an explosive argument.
284
00:13:57,572 --> 00:14:02,120
But since we're not, when I am that exhausted and he has that look in his eye,
285
00:14:02,155 --> 00:14:05,649
I simply ship him off to Evette, where she satisfies him and he her.
286
00:14:05,684 --> 00:14:10,648
And then I draw myself a nice, hot bath and read the paper.
287
00:14:28,562 --> 00:14:30,457
This works for me.
288
00:14:30,492 --> 00:14:32,352
I knew it would.
289
00:14:32,835 --> 00:14:35,861
More gobbledygook, please.
290
00:14:35,896 --> 00:14:38,950
Hey, take it easy, man. Deep breaths. Just relax.
291
00:14:38,985 --> 00:14:40,943
Denny, I meant to say gobbledygook.
292
00:14:40,978 --> 00:14:43,330
The stuff on my face.
293
00:14:43,724 --> 00:14:45,442
I think I've decompressed.
294
00:14:45,477 --> 00:14:48,658
My word salad days have wilted.
295
00:14:48,903 --> 00:14:52,107
May I have my hand, please?
296
00:14:55,417 --> 00:15:00,082
Thank you, Denny. This is almost as good as fishing.
297
00:15:02,456 --> 00:15:04,045
Denny's my friend.
298
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,683
He takes me to nice places, buys me nice things.
299
00:15:06,718 --> 00:15:08,884
We like to dress up.
300
00:15:08,919 --> 00:15:11,014
Flamingos.
301
00:15:16,021 --> 00:15:20,508
Your honor, there's not a shred of evidence for which a jury would rule against my client.
302
00:15:20,543 --> 00:15:24,312
Now as tragic as his death may be, plaintiffs have not shown any causal link
303
00:15:24,347 --> 00:15:26,482
between Mr. Beller's death and his playing "Hell born".
304
00:15:26,517 --> 00:15:29,226
We have the internal dopamine study.
305
00:15:30,483 --> 00:15:32,917
That's one study which shows that playing any video game
306
00:15:32,952 --> 00:15:34,801
could raise anyone's dopamine level.
307
00:15:34,836 --> 00:15:36,650
That's hardly enough to prove causation.
308
00:15:36,685 --> 00:15:38,410
I have to agree, Mr. Hoberg.
309
00:15:38,445 --> 00:15:40,154
If your only evidence is this one study...
310
00:15:40,189 --> 00:15:41,870
We have a witness, your honor.
311
00:15:41,905 --> 00:15:42,905
What witness?
312
00:15:42,940 --> 00:15:44,535
Dr. Samuel Williams.
313
00:15:44,536 --> 00:15:48,229
He'll testify that not only did Alcove games know their games were addictive,
314
00:15:48,264 --> 00:15:49,960
they intentionally tried to make them so.
315
00:15:49,995 --> 00:15:52,518
That is the first we're hearing of this, your honor.
316
00:15:52,553 --> 00:15:54,403
Dr. Williams just came forward.
317
00:15:54,438 --> 00:15:57,535
Your honor, they're stalling and wasting the court's time.
318
00:15:57,570 --> 00:16:00,632
Before ruling on the motion, the court will hear Dr. Williams.
319
00:16:00,667 --> 00:16:04,004
But, Mr. Hoberg, I don't like surprises. Tread carefully.
320
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:04,812
Your honor, I...
321
00:16:04,847 --> 00:16:07,633
Your objection is noted for the record, Mr. Chase.
322
00:16:07,634 --> 00:16:09,954
The court will hear Dr. Williams testimony.
323
00:16:09,989 --> 00:16:12,304
I thought you said there was nothing else.
324
00:16:12,339 --> 00:16:14,584
Dr. Williams is a psychologist we hired
325
00:16:14,619 --> 00:16:17,475
to consult on how to make our games more appealing to the consumer.
326
00:16:17,510 --> 00:16:20,331
It didn't work out and we fired him. It's really not a big deal.
327
00:16:20,366 --> 00:16:22,447
Chris, we need to get this case thrown out now,
328
00:16:22,482 --> 00:16:24,061
while it's only in front of a judge.
329
00:16:24,096 --> 00:16:25,605
We've got a women with a dead kid.
330
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,551
A jury is gonna want to make somebody pay for that.
331
00:16:27,586 --> 00:16:31,630
Now did you hire this Dr. Williams to make your games more addictive or not?
332
00:16:32,512 --> 00:16:33,787
I started with nothing.
333
00:16:33,822 --> 00:16:35,027
I built this company.
334
00:16:35,062 --> 00:16:37,001
I employ hundreds of people.
335
00:16:37,036 --> 00:16:38,940
I didn't do anything wrong.
336
00:16:39,175 --> 00:16:40,803
Okay. Right.
337
00:16:40,838 --> 00:16:43,035
You've known me for 20 years and you're doubting me?
338
00:16:43,070 --> 00:16:44,335
Chris, this isn't about friendship.
339
00:16:44,370 --> 00:16:47,735
This is about getting rid of this case quickly and quietly.
340
00:16:47,770 --> 00:16:49,448
Now maybe we should consider settling.
341
00:16:49,483 --> 00:16:50,314
No.
342
00:16:50,583 --> 00:16:53,325
No, to me, a settlement is an admission of guilt.
343
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,068
And Alcove games is not gonna be a scagoat on this,
344
00:16:56,103 --> 00:16:58,526
even if this goes public.
345
00:17:08,878 --> 00:17:11,258
Dr. Klaywig, as a historian of family law,
346
00:17:11,293 --> 00:17:14,381
could you tell us why laws against polygamy were enacted?
347
00:17:14,416 --> 00:17:17,178
The origins, of course, are biblical.
348
00:17:17,213 --> 00:17:22,298
But in recent history, they were enacted to prevent a man from abandoning his wife,
349
00:17:22,333 --> 00:17:25,405
leaving her with no means of income for herself or her children.
350
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,757
They also prevented enslavement and abuse.
351
00:17:27,792 --> 00:17:30,602
Before these laws were solidified, elders in certain communities
352
00:17:30,637 --> 00:17:34,070
would simply divvy up the young girls, 12 and 13 years old.
353
00:17:34,105 --> 00:17:35,229
Among the old men.
354
00:17:35,264 --> 00:17:36,471
Thank you.
355
00:17:40,940 --> 00:17:42,049
Dr. Klaywig,
356
00:17:42,084 --> 00:17:48,022
would you agree that Mr. and Mrs. and Mrs. Richardson's relationship is unusual?
357
00:17:48,057 --> 00:17:49,094
Yes, I would.
358
00:17:49,129 --> 00:17:52,679
And would you agree that it's unusual because it works?
359
00:17:52,714 --> 00:17:53,248
Well...
360
00:17:53,283 --> 00:17:54,832
All parties are satisfied,
361
00:17:54,833 --> 00:17:57,589
the children, as we've proven earlier, are well-adjusted.
362
00:17:57,624 --> 00:17:59,461
It does seem to work, doesn't it?
363
00:17:59,496 --> 00:18:01,041
Yes, I suppose so.
364
00:18:01,076 --> 00:18:03,805
And wouldn't you agree that when the polygamy laws were enacted,
365
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,334
it was under a different social and economic construct?
366
00:18:06,369 --> 00:18:06,967
Meaning?
367
00:18:07,002 --> 00:18:09,038
Meaning that women weren't allowed to work.
368
00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:12,103
They were, in effect, less powerful than they are today.
369
00:18:12,138 --> 00:18:15,168
Their reliance on their husbands was more substantial.
370
00:18:15,203 --> 00:18:16,448
One could agree...
371
00:18:16,483 --> 00:18:19,369
And for the record, what is the divorce rate in this country?
372
00:18:19,404 --> 00:18:21,354
Approximately 43%.
373
00:18:21,389 --> 00:18:23,346
43%.
374
00:18:23,381 --> 00:18:26,436
And what are the statistics on extramarital affairs?
375
00:18:26,471 --> 00:18:29,457
Conservative estimates say that about 60% of married men
376
00:18:29,492 --> 00:18:32,896
and 40% of married women will have an extramarital affair at some point.
377
00:18:32,931 --> 00:18:36,300
So one could argue that we're already practicing polygamy in this country.
378
00:18:36,335 --> 00:18:38,069
We just haven't institutionalized it yet.
379
00:18:38,104 --> 00:18:39,131
Objection, your honor.
380
00:18:39,166 --> 00:18:42,733
Ms. Bauer is simply twisting statistics to make a mockery of the institution of marriage.
381
00:18:42,768 --> 00:18:44,750
I'm simply drawing conclusions based on fact.
382
00:18:44,785 --> 00:18:45,610
It's specious.
383
00:18:45,645 --> 00:18:47,581
It's not specious. It's logical.
384
00:18:47,582 --> 00:18:48,889
You wouldn't understand. You're not married.
385
00:18:48,924 --> 00:18:50,436
Yeah, well, I don't see a wedding ring on your finger.
386
00:18:50,471 --> 00:18:51,117
Divorced.
387
00:18:51,152 --> 00:18:51,677
How long?
388
00:18:51,712 --> 00:18:52,193
One year.
389
00:18:52,228 --> 00:18:52,674
Two for me.
390
00:18:52,675 --> 00:18:54,449
Counselors...
391
00:18:55,587 --> 00:18:57,532
The case.
392
00:18:57,567 --> 00:18:58,428
Of course.
393
00:18:58,463 --> 00:18:59,289
Right.
394
00:19:00,492 --> 00:19:02,489
Nothing further.
395
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,162
Wow.
396
00:19:17,269 --> 00:19:18,813
Double wow.
397
00:19:20,194 --> 00:19:21,468
Go right ahead.
398
00:19:21,503 --> 00:19:23,776
Oh, no. You saw her first.
399
00:19:24,681 --> 00:19:25,812
You really don't mind?
400
00:19:25,847 --> 00:19:27,375
Please.
401
00:19:30,055 --> 00:19:31,610
Wow.
402
00:19:34,862 --> 00:19:37,185
Hi. Nobody's sitting here.
403
00:19:37,220 --> 00:19:38,813
Thank you.
404
00:19:40,586 --> 00:19:43,509
My name's Alan Shore. What's yours?
405
00:19:43,544 --> 00:19:44,780
Jessica.
406
00:19:44,815 --> 00:19:46,317
What are you reading, Jessica?
407
00:19:46,352 --> 00:19:48,223
Uh, "The Da Vinci code".
408
00:19:48,258 --> 00:19:50,273
Yeah, it's okay. Have you read it?
409
00:19:50,308 --> 00:19:53,700
No, it's enough for me that Leonardo was a brilliant painter and engineer
410
00:19:53,735 --> 00:19:57,611
without turning him into the Karl Rove of the 16th century.
411
00:19:58,474 --> 00:20:01,037
Are you here with someone?
412
00:20:01,444 --> 00:20:03,224
Alone.
413
00:20:03,259 --> 00:20:08,283
I just, um, needed to get outta dodge and relax.
414
00:20:09,651 --> 00:20:14,356
Only now I find myself very relaxed.
415
00:20:14,638 --> 00:20:20,189
Well, two can play dominoes for gangs allow freedom white.
416
00:20:20,630 --> 00:20:21,940
I'm sorry?
417
00:20:21,975 --> 00:20:26,145
The danger in whistling cannot be undone by hybrid chatter.
418
00:20:26,180 --> 00:20:28,629
It's simply...
419
00:20:28,664 --> 00:20:31,079
orange above all.
420
00:20:31,443 --> 00:20:32,969
Is this, like, a joke or...
421
00:20:33,004 --> 00:20:34,802
Zebra.
422
00:20:36,936 --> 00:20:40,771
Waiter. I'm going to need another mojito.
423
00:20:48,299 --> 00:20:50,842
Should I charge that to your room, sir?
424
00:20:50,877 --> 00:20:52,870
Paisley.
425
00:20:57,763 --> 00:21:02,107
Dr. Williams, you're a clinical psychologist.
426
00:21:02,142 --> 00:21:04,506
Why did Alcove games hire you?
427
00:21:04,541 --> 00:21:06,835
Their game was already popular.
428
00:21:06,870 --> 00:21:11,046
But the company wanted to take the desire to play the game to the next level.
429
00:21:11,081 --> 00:21:14,789
In other words, change the motivation from "I want to play this game"
430
00:21:14,824 --> 00:21:16,727
to "I have to play this game".
431
00:21:16,762 --> 00:21:18,225
And how did they go about doing that?
432
00:21:18,260 --> 00:21:20,272
It starts with causing an adrenaline rush.
433
00:21:20,307 --> 00:21:22,250
The most effective way to trigger that rush
434
00:21:22,285 --> 00:21:24,237
is to make someone think that they're going to die.
435
00:21:24,272 --> 00:21:25,310
How do you know that?
436
00:21:25,345 --> 00:21:26,882
We measure the effect in two ways.
437
00:21:26,917 --> 00:21:28,263
The first is blink rate,
438
00:21:28,298 --> 00:21:31,606
and second, we monitor the amount of dopamine
439
00:21:31,641 --> 00:21:34,014
that's produced while playing the game.
440
00:21:34,049 --> 00:21:36,388
What is the significance of the dopamine?
441
00:21:36,423 --> 00:21:38,541
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter.
442
00:21:38,576 --> 00:21:41,391
It's also connected to the reinforcing effects of drugs
443
00:21:41,426 --> 00:21:43,774
like cocaine and amphetamines.
444
00:21:43,809 --> 00:21:47,199
It's often called "the master molecule of addiction".
445
00:21:47,234 --> 00:21:50,590
And why is that significant in terms of this video game?
446
00:21:50,625 --> 00:21:53,932
Playing this video game is like receiving a jolt
447
00:21:53,967 --> 00:21:57,240
equivalent to an injection of amphetamines.
448
00:21:57,275 --> 00:22:00,359
And my duty was to help create a game
449
00:22:00,394 --> 00:22:03,932
that would maximize dopamine output for the players.
450
00:22:03,967 --> 00:22:08,575
You were deliberately trying to make this game physically addictive?
451
00:22:10,013 --> 00:22:11,740
Yes.
452
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,881
Dr. Williams, who was your supervisor at Alcove games?
453
00:22:14,916 --> 00:22:15,630
Bob Kendall.
454
00:22:15,665 --> 00:22:16,344
And his title?
455
00:22:16,345 --> 00:22:17,669
Vice president of marketing.
456
00:22:17,704 --> 00:22:21,498
Of marketing, not of secret brain addiction research or something like that?
457
00:22:21,533 --> 00:22:22,423
Objection.
458
00:22:22,458 --> 00:22:23,313
Sustained.
459
00:22:23,314 --> 00:22:25,866
So you worked in the marketing department at Alcove games.
460
00:22:25,901 --> 00:22:26,620
Yes.
461
00:22:26,621 --> 00:22:31,453
Now as a marketer, whether you're selling iPods or breakfast cereal or soft drinks,
462
00:22:31,488 --> 00:22:33,240
isn't one of your primary concerns,
463
00:22:33,275 --> 00:22:36,433
how do I get consumers to buy my product?
464
00:22:36,468 --> 00:22:37,536
Of course.
465
00:22:37,571 --> 00:22:40,458
You ever been employed by a heroin dealer?
466
00:22:41,502 --> 00:22:42,278
Excuse me?
467
00:22:42,313 --> 00:22:43,202
Of course you haven't.
468
00:22:43,203 --> 00:22:45,521
A heroin dealer doesn't need to hire a marketing department,
469
00:22:45,556 --> 00:22:49,169
because the product they sell really is addictive as opposed to video games,
470
00:22:49,204 --> 00:22:50,338
which aren't, isn't that correct?
471
00:22:50,373 --> 00:22:51,389
Objection!
472
00:22:51,883 --> 00:22:53,465
Nothing further.
473
00:23:12,813 --> 00:23:15,832
Ray Richardson married two women at the same time.
474
00:23:15,867 --> 00:23:17,258
No one denies that fact.
475
00:23:17,293 --> 00:23:20,489
The defense argues that this polygamist marriage is practical,
476
00:23:20,524 --> 00:23:23,207
that it makes sense in today's hectic world.
477
00:23:23,242 --> 00:23:26,300
Well, the law against polygamy is practical as well.
478
00:23:26,335 --> 00:23:29,152
Say you're a man with good health insurance and a generous nature.
479
00:23:29,187 --> 00:23:31,969
Why not go down to a hospice and marry 50 terminally ill women
480
00:23:32,004 --> 00:23:34,038
so they can have your health benefits?
481
00:23:34,073 --> 00:23:36,550
If a billionaire could marry a thousand women
482
00:23:36,585 --> 00:23:40,678
and claim them all as dependants on his tax return, don't you think he would?
483
00:23:40,713 --> 00:23:44,771
No, the law against polygamy doesn't just make sense from a moral point of view.
484
00:23:44,806 --> 00:23:46,201
It's practical as well.
485
00:23:46,236 --> 00:23:50,104
Today, the traditional family is under constant assault from every direction.
486
00:23:50,139 --> 00:23:54,493
One refuge, maybe the last refuge against that assault is the law.
487
00:23:54,528 --> 00:23:59,869
The law in this case states that marriage is between one man and one woman.
488
00:23:59,904 --> 00:24:03,187
Ray Richardson broke that law.
489
00:24:03,848 --> 00:24:05,923
Make him pay for it.
490
00:24:06,449 --> 00:24:12,688
Decades ago, the nuclear family implied one man, one woman and their offspring.
491
00:24:12,723 --> 00:24:14,341
Usually of the same race.
492
00:24:14,376 --> 00:24:18,943
Today, there is no limit to what loving families look like.
493
00:24:18,978 --> 00:24:21,857
We have single mothers, single fathers, two mommies,
494
00:24:21,892 --> 00:24:25,475
two daddies, ex-wives, ex-in-laws, you name it.
495
00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:28,719
If we're going to universally apply a law,
496
00:24:28,754 --> 00:24:33,108
we need to look at what it is that law strives to protect.
497
00:24:33,143 --> 00:24:37,463
Nobody can say that the Richardsons are not a loving family.
498
00:24:37,498 --> 00:24:39,711
They are honest and caring.
499
00:24:39,746 --> 00:24:43,270
Their children are confident and kind.
500
00:24:43,305 --> 00:24:46,738
With so many monogamous couples breaking up,
501
00:24:46,773 --> 00:24:49,995
this true family unit should be held in high esteem.
502
00:24:50,030 --> 00:24:52,350
Instead, we seek to destroy them
503
00:24:52,385 --> 00:24:56,903
simply because they consensually engaged in a loving relationship
504
00:24:56,938 --> 00:25:00,565
that all parties wanted.
505
00:25:00,949 --> 00:25:03,625
You've heard both Mrs. Richardsons.
506
00:25:03,660 --> 00:25:06,267
This is a family unit that works.
507
00:25:06,302 --> 00:25:09,440
If you put Ray Richardson in jail when all he was,
508
00:25:09,475 --> 00:25:12,657
was a good husband and a good father,
509
00:25:12,692 --> 00:25:18,364
you will accomplish the very harm the anti-polygamy laws set out to prevent.
510
00:25:18,399 --> 00:25:23,334
You will tear the Richardson family apart.
511
00:25:38,166 --> 00:25:40,638
You need to relax, you know?
512
00:25:40,889 --> 00:25:41,952
Obviously, Denny,
513
00:25:41,987 --> 00:25:44,654
but telling me to do so is like saying to a starving man,
514
00:25:44,689 --> 00:25:47,321
"You just need money. " It doesn't exactly solve the problem.
515
00:25:47,356 --> 00:25:50,294
Well, I got lots of money, so if you're hungry,
516
00:25:50,329 --> 00:25:53,233
just order up room service and say hello. Hey!
517
00:25:53,657 --> 00:25:55,495
You just touched me and not in a nice way.
518
00:25:55,530 --> 00:25:58,271
Could I please have a little privacy?
519
00:25:58,306 --> 00:25:59,887
So you mix up your words.
520
00:25:59,922 --> 00:26:01,831
Make it work for you. That's what I do.
521
00:26:01,866 --> 00:26:02,910
Denny, get out.
522
00:26:02,945 --> 00:26:04,597
Leave the room for a moment and let me be alone.
523
00:26:04,632 --> 00:26:06,102
You're a moody traveler, aren't you?
524
00:26:06,137 --> 00:26:09,127
Can you please put your narcissism aside for one second
525
00:26:09,162 --> 00:26:13,835
and try to imagine what it's like for a person to be losing his mind?
526
00:26:17,374 --> 00:26:19,213
I'm sorry.
527
00:26:19,248 --> 00:26:22,733
It's just, I'd penciled in sex today for 5:30,
528
00:26:22,768 --> 00:26:25,888
and since I lost out on Jessica, I'll now have to have it alone,
529
00:26:25,923 --> 00:26:28,541
which is fine, just...
530
00:26:28,975 --> 00:26:30,684
predictable.
531
00:26:31,396 --> 00:26:36,068
All this time, I thought you were empathizing with me.
532
00:26:36,436 --> 00:26:39,271
But you were sympathizing.
533
00:26:43,923 --> 00:26:45,105
I'm going home.
534
00:26:45,140 --> 00:26:45,509
Denny...
535
00:26:45,510 --> 00:26:47,300
Don't talk to me.
536
00:26:47,617 --> 00:26:49,344
Please don't leave.
537
00:26:49,379 --> 00:26:53,066
I said do not... talk to me!
538
00:26:53,101 --> 00:26:56,754
It's just, that's my suitcase.
539
00:26:56,859 --> 00:26:59,935
You're packing my things.
540
00:27:18,687 --> 00:27:20,223
He was 15.
541
00:27:20,258 --> 00:27:21,865
He was about to get his learner's permit.
542
00:27:21,900 --> 00:27:23,430
Mrs. Beller, I'm sorry, but I can't talk to you.
543
00:27:23,465 --> 00:27:26,830
He was a scout, too, in this day and age, and he was going for eagle.
544
00:27:26,865 --> 00:27:27,423
I'm sorry.
545
00:27:27,458 --> 00:27:30,229
You know that everything that Dr. Williams said is true.
546
00:27:30,230 --> 00:27:32,027
And the only thing that this should be about is,
547
00:27:32,062 --> 00:27:35,615
Wes and the life that was taken from him, but it's not.
548
00:27:35,650 --> 00:27:39,168
It is about lawyers and your talking and your arguing.
549
00:27:39,203 --> 00:27:40,553
Why are you doing this?
550
00:27:40,588 --> 00:27:42,697
You know what the truth is here. You know it.
551
00:27:42,732 --> 00:27:43,732
So why are you doing it?
552
00:27:43,767 --> 00:27:44,733
Mrs. Beller. Mrs. Beller.
553
00:27:44,734 --> 00:27:47,467
You know what the truth is, don't you?
554
00:27:47,502 --> 00:27:49,448
You know!
555
00:27:49,483 --> 00:27:51,394
You know!
556
00:28:05,318 --> 00:28:08,719
Mr. Foreman, has the jury reached a unanimous verdict?
557
00:28:08,754 --> 00:28:10,362
We have, your honor.
558
00:28:10,669 --> 00:28:13,503
Will the defendant please rise?
559
00:28:14,206 --> 00:28:15,909
What say you?
560
00:28:17,928 --> 00:28:22,830
In the matter of the commonwealth vs. Ray Richardson, on the count of polygamy,
561
00:28:22,865 --> 00:28:27,644
we the jury find Ray Richardson guilty.
562
00:28:28,556 --> 00:28:31,365
The defendant will be remanded into custody.
563
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,343
We are adjourned.
564
00:28:36,972 --> 00:28:38,981
This isn't over.
565
00:28:45,442 --> 00:28:47,566
I'm so sorry.
566
00:29:05,594 --> 00:29:10,199
When I was 15, I smoked cigarettes for a week because a friend of mine smoked.
567
00:29:10,234 --> 00:29:13,467
I quit, never smoked again, and thank goodness it didn't hurt me.
568
00:29:13,502 --> 00:29:16,207
But tobacco companies have been found liable,
569
00:29:16,242 --> 00:29:20,520
assessed penalties in the millions of dollars because cigarettes are addictive,
570
00:29:20,555 --> 00:29:22,919
and they do kill people.
571
00:29:22,954 --> 00:29:25,788
Your honor, with this case, we are in the same position as the people
572
00:29:25,823 --> 00:29:29,720
who first brought legal action against the tobacco companies 40 years ago.
573
00:29:29,755 --> 00:29:33,026
Lawsuit after lawsuit against tobacco was thrown out of court.
574
00:29:33,061 --> 00:29:35,082
How many people died as a result?
575
00:29:35,117 --> 00:29:37,964
And now we got a boy who died playing a video game,
576
00:29:37,999 --> 00:29:42,953
a game scientically constructed to make him addicted to it.
577
00:29:42,988 --> 00:29:45,062
Will everyone become addicted to it? No.
578
00:29:45,097 --> 00:29:48,024
But other children will become addicted, your honor,
579
00:29:48,059 --> 00:29:51,732
and there will be other deaths.
580
00:29:51,767 --> 00:29:58,218
It's time to let a jury decide who's responsible for the death of Wesley Beller.
581
00:30:15,462 --> 00:30:18,099
Your honor, I know I'm supposed to be a dispassionate advocate
582
00:30:18,134 --> 00:30:20,438
for my client's position but...
583
00:30:20,473 --> 00:30:22,743
I have to tell you that this case,
584
00:30:22,778 --> 00:30:24,475
it, it just makes me mad.
585
00:30:24,510 --> 00:30:28,872
You see, I know someone who is addicted to crystal meth.
586
00:30:28,907 --> 00:30:30,226
This is a lethal drug.
587
00:30:30,261 --> 00:30:32,558
It would've killed her if she hadn't stopped using it.
588
00:30:32,593 --> 00:30:36,010
So when I hear people talk about being addicted to their blackberry,
589
00:30:36,045 --> 00:30:38,056
to soap operas, video games...
590
00:30:38,091 --> 00:30:41,969
Believe me, if anyone who's addicted to crystal meth could suddenly wave a magic wand
591
00:30:42,004 --> 00:30:46,765
and be addicted to video games instead, they would do it in a heartbeat.
592
00:30:47,771 --> 00:30:52,232
Now you heard testimony that playing this game raises your dopamine level.
593
00:30:52,267 --> 00:30:54,120
We don't deny that, but the fact is,
594
00:30:54,155 --> 00:30:57,217
anything you enjoy doing raises your dopamine levels.
595
00:30:57,252 --> 00:30:59,725
Sports, chocolate, exercise, sex, on and on and on.
596
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,223
When Einstein was developing his theory of relativity,
597
00:31:02,258 --> 00:31:04,652
I'm sure that his dopamine level was through the roof.
598
00:31:04,687 --> 00:31:08,972
But where do we draw the line between addiction and passion?
599
00:31:09,007 --> 00:31:10,428
And the fact is,
600
00:31:10,463 --> 00:31:17,799
this case is an insult to anyone who has a real addiction to a harmful substance.
601
00:31:18,976 --> 00:31:24,568
Now we are all sad that Wesley Beller is dead.
602
00:31:26,225 --> 00:31:31,711
But Alcove games did not cause his death.
603
00:31:53,808 --> 00:31:57,037
After reviewing the papers and the evidence presented,
604
00:31:57,072 --> 00:31:59,125
I agree with Mr. Chase.
605
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,991
The defense's motion for summary judgment is granted.
606
00:32:03,026 --> 00:32:04,700
We're adjourned.
607
00:32:08,268 --> 00:32:10,239
Congratulations.
608
00:32:11,105 --> 00:32:12,401
Brad.
609
00:32:12,436 --> 00:32:13,698
Paul.
610
00:32:14,356 --> 00:32:17,620
Ah, man, I knew we'd win, but you never really know till it's over.
611
00:32:17,655 --> 00:32:18,740
You bet.
612
00:32:18,741 --> 00:32:19,837
So, champ, where can I buy you dinner?
613
00:32:19,872 --> 00:32:21,890
McCloskey's. Best steaks in town.
614
00:32:32,540 --> 00:32:34,254
Mrs. Beller.
615
00:32:35,708 --> 00:32:38,797
I'm truly sorry about your son.
616
00:32:39,642 --> 00:32:43,842
I'm sure you'll be sorry about the next one, too.
617
00:32:55,117 --> 00:32:57,496
A little lower.
618
00:32:57,531 --> 00:33:02,086
Oh, yeah. Just a little bit lower.
619
00:33:03,046 --> 00:33:06,073
Not quite low enough.
620
00:33:15,144 --> 00:33:20,969
I have always empathized with your mad cow.
621
00:33:21,420 --> 00:33:25,332
In a seismic shift of character, I was...
622
00:33:25,367 --> 00:33:29,349
momentarily thinking only of myself.
623
00:33:30,181 --> 00:33:32,919
As I said, Denny,
624
00:33:32,954 --> 00:33:35,622
words are my friends.
625
00:33:35,657 --> 00:33:38,860
To think that, I might suddenly...
626
00:33:38,895 --> 00:33:40,289
Why are you so anxious here?
627
00:33:40,324 --> 00:33:43,755
Of all places, where people only rub you the right way?
628
00:33:43,790 --> 00:33:45,815
Work. I'm nervous about work.
629
00:33:45,850 --> 00:33:47,132
Why?
630
00:33:47,490 --> 00:33:51,208
Denny, they could walk through my door on any given day and just fire me.
631
00:33:51,243 --> 00:33:54,863
I've offended everybody there is to offend.
632
00:33:54,898 --> 00:34:00,089
I was hoping to at least ingratiate myself with Shirley sexually but...
633
00:34:00,124 --> 00:34:02,689
she rebuffs me.
634
00:34:04,233 --> 00:34:06,030
Robe, please.
635
00:34:11,059 --> 00:34:13,514
Out, please.
636
00:34:15,702 --> 00:34:19,067
Since when have you been afraid of losing your job?
637
00:34:19,102 --> 00:34:22,533
You relish the idea of being able to walk at the drop of a hat.
638
00:34:22,568 --> 00:34:24,085
Hell, you threaten to.
639
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,890
I guess I just don't feel that freedom anymore.
640
00:34:26,925 --> 00:34:28,214
Is it money?
641
00:34:28,249 --> 00:34:29,779
It's not money.
642
00:34:29,814 --> 00:34:31,310
What is it then?
643
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,454
I'd miss you, Denny.
644
00:34:41,573 --> 00:34:42,885
You're a liar.
645
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:47,039
You can't walk because you think you have to be there to protect me,
646
00:34:47,074 --> 00:34:48,700
to save me from myself.
647
00:34:48,735 --> 00:34:50,292
That's certainly not it.
648
00:34:50,327 --> 00:34:55,064
For the first time in your life, you feel trapped,
649
00:34:55,099 --> 00:34:56,667
and I'm the reason.
650
00:34:56,702 --> 00:34:58,936
Why can't we just leave it at, "I'd miss you, Denny"?
651
00:34:58,971 --> 00:35:00,985
Denny Crane has never needed anybody.
652
00:35:01,020 --> 00:35:02,537
And that's a tragedy.
653
00:35:02,572 --> 00:35:06,113
One for which I empathize as well as sympathize.
654
00:35:06,148 --> 00:35:10,572
I will never be anybody's charity project.
655
00:35:12,682 --> 00:35:16,411
If that has something to do with our friendship,
656
00:35:16,845 --> 00:35:19,835
I no longer want it.
657
00:35:24,813 --> 00:35:28,300
Have you thought for one second about what you're doing to the Richardson children?
658
00:35:28,335 --> 00:35:31,135
Yeah, I'm about to make parent-teacher night a lot less awkward.
659
00:35:31,170 --> 00:35:32,523
I'm serious.
660
00:35:32,558 --> 00:35:35,486
There's a new book out that says that there's no such thing as an amicable divorce,
661
00:35:35,521 --> 00:35:38,787
that children are far more traumatized by divorce
662
00:35:38,822 --> 00:35:41,053
than they would be by growing up in a house with a bad marriage.
663
00:35:41,088 --> 00:35:43,138
Yeah, well, they didn't grow up in my house.
664
00:35:43,173 --> 00:35:45,619
And there's a study from university college Dublin
665
00:35:45,654 --> 00:35:48,237
that found that the effects of divorce on children
666
00:35:48,272 --> 00:35:50,759
are far more damaging than the death of a parent.
667
00:35:50,794 --> 00:35:53,235
Exactly how much time do you spend on the internet?
668
00:35:53,270 --> 00:35:55,815
You're not breaking up some group of freaks here.
669
00:35:55,850 --> 00:35:58,360
The Richardsons work. That family unit works.
670
00:35:58,395 --> 00:36:00,753
And they can remain a family,
671
00:36:01,052 --> 00:36:03,506
as long as they're not married.
672
00:36:03,541 --> 00:36:07,101
I know. I spoke to Ray and his wives,
673
00:36:07,136 --> 00:36:11,180
and they have all agreed, reluctantly, to get divorced and live in sin.
674
00:36:11,215 --> 00:36:15,018
All they ask is that you recommend probation.
675
00:36:16,077 --> 00:36:17,600
Denise, I...
676
00:36:18,045 --> 00:36:19,983
As long as he quits breaking the law,
677
00:36:20,018 --> 00:36:22,837
I have no interest in putting him in jail.
678
00:36:23,274 --> 00:36:25,713
I'm sure we can make this work.
679
00:36:26,135 --> 00:36:27,092
Thank you.
680
00:36:27,127 --> 00:36:28,461
Yeah.
681
00:36:35,582 --> 00:36:37,549
Have you had dinner yet?
682
00:36:37,584 --> 00:36:41,273
Um, it's 4 o'clock.
683
00:36:41,998 --> 00:36:45,579
Yeah. I'm sorry. I, I...
684
00:36:45,614 --> 00:36:49,116
I haven't dated in so long, I...
685
00:36:49,151 --> 00:36:52,964
Would you like to get some food at a more appropriate time?
686
00:36:52,999 --> 00:36:54,667
Today?
687
00:36:54,702 --> 00:36:56,336
Sure.
688
00:37:10,676 --> 00:37:12,497
Congratulations.
689
00:37:12,532 --> 00:37:14,016
Oh, thanks.
690
00:37:14,051 --> 00:37:17,993
Looks like Chris wants us to handle all his business from now on.
691
00:37:18,028 --> 00:37:19,235
Good.
692
00:37:19,270 --> 00:37:24,621
Uh, Paul, you didn't get a chance to say hello to Rachel, did you?
693
00:37:24,656 --> 00:37:26,135
I did.
694
00:37:26,170 --> 00:37:28,922
She'll be getting out of rehab in a few weeks.
695
00:37:28,957 --> 00:37:30,547
Good for her.
696
00:37:33,217 --> 00:37:34,943
Brad...
697
00:37:36,055 --> 00:37:39,210
I want you to stay away from her.
698
00:37:39,984 --> 00:37:42,252
I beg your pardon?
699
00:37:42,287 --> 00:37:46,079
As part of the 12-step program of recovery,
700
00:37:46,114 --> 00:37:52,069
they strongly suggest that she not be involved in any relationships for a year.
701
00:37:52,104 --> 00:37:55,442
This allows her to focus on mending her life,
702
00:37:55,477 --> 00:37:59,416
and any distractions could jeopardize that process
703
00:37:59,451 --> 00:38:03,356
and make her more susceptible to returning to drugs.
704
00:38:03,391 --> 00:38:06,602
So... therefore...
705
00:38:06,637 --> 00:38:14,446
I am strongly suggesting that you stay away from her.
706
00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:49,894
Okay, so I worry about you a little. Is that so bad?
707
00:38:50,691 --> 00:38:54,174
With my night terrors, the clown phobia and now word salad,
708
00:38:54,209 --> 00:38:56,390
you don't worry about me?
709
00:39:01,905 --> 00:39:06,527
You know, strangers aren't always gonna be there for us, Denny.
710
00:39:07,569 --> 00:39:10,956
I'm gonna say this once. I don't want it repeated.
711
00:39:10,991 --> 00:39:13,007
I need friendship.
712
00:39:13,042 --> 00:39:15,843
I especially need this one.
713
00:39:28,677 --> 00:39:30,774
Did you not hear a word I said?
714
00:39:30,809 --> 00:39:34,020
Heard every word. The thing isn't on.
715
00:39:38,578 --> 00:39:41,286
Is it really so horrible for people to need each other?
716
00:39:41,321 --> 00:39:44,311
Doesn't it give you comfort that I'm here to cover for you when you slip,
717
00:39:44,346 --> 00:39:47,143
that in the end, I'll be there to shoot you?
718
00:39:47,432 --> 00:39:52,294
It comforts me that you need the friendship.
719
00:40:01,039 --> 00:40:02,410
I've thought about it. I agree.
720
00:40:02,445 --> 00:40:04,797
You've survived here a hundred years or so without me.
721
00:40:04,832 --> 00:40:06,867
I could leave and you'd go on just fine.
722
00:40:06,902 --> 00:40:08,650
But for me to go on, Denny,
723
00:40:08,685 --> 00:40:12,557
I need my balcony time whether I work here or not.
724
00:40:14,024 --> 00:40:16,068
You got it.
725
00:40:16,377 --> 00:40:20,312
Typically, when I get fired, I'm banned from the premises.
726
00:40:21,977 --> 00:40:24,353
Service elevator.
727
00:40:24,388 --> 00:40:26,695
I got the keys.
728
00:40:26,730 --> 00:40:28,570
You think of everything.
729
00:40:28,605 --> 00:40:31,068
Denny...
730
00:40:32,395 --> 00:40:34,613
Crane.
731
00:40:34,648 --> 00:40:35,969
You got it.
