1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:06,160
Previously on L .A. Law. My watch is
missing and I want it returned now.

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,880
Try talking sense to Shuler's wife.
Stole this divorce.

3
00:00:10,140 --> 00:00:14,180
Otherwise we all lose. She told me about
her accident and implicated Mr. Shuler.

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,379
What kind of man pushes his wife down
the stairs?

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,060
Look, let me tell you something.

6
00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:21,800
If you ever want to be considered my
heir apparent, you better make up your

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:22,800
who you believe.

8
00:00:22,860 --> 00:00:25,840
Should have had the guts to prosecute
that case when the D .A. threw it on

9
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,540
desk. Hey, guts has nothing to do with
this. The facts don't add up. This

10
00:00:29,540 --> 00:00:32,840
court... Hereby finds probable cause has
been established.

11
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:37,120
And the defendant is bound over on
charges of felony child endangerment.

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,320
it! No, it's okay.

13
00:00:38,660 --> 00:00:41,180
His gun's not loaded. Will you explain
to them that I'm fine?

14
00:00:41,380 --> 00:00:43,360
They put him back in the hospital.

15
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,680
Psychiatric ward. When the huntsman came
back with the heart of a young dwarf he

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,700
had killed, the queen had assaulted and
ate it, leaving it with no wife.

17
00:00:56,220 --> 00:00:58,740
Cinderella. Little Red Riding Hood.

18
00:01:01,180 --> 00:01:04,420
Tommy, I want to have a baby with you.

19
00:01:11,140 --> 00:01:12,680
Roxy! Coming!

20
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:15,240
Rox, there's no more soap.

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,580
You better hurry up. We're both going to
be late for work.

22
00:01:18,780 --> 00:01:20,420
You know, I've been thinking.

23
00:01:20,980 --> 00:01:23,360
Always meeting here at the Edgewater.

24
00:01:23,660 --> 00:01:24,820
It's getting expensive.

25
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:30,580
I mean, not to mention the wrapped
glasses, the sanitized toilet seat.

26
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,400
It's all so sterile.

27
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,220
Tough place to conceive a baby, no?

28
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,080
We both decided... I mean, I don't know.
I think the holiday has me on edge.

29
00:01:40,420 --> 00:01:43,180
Maybe we should skip out for a couple of
days.

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,160
Just a minute!

31
00:01:45,780 --> 00:01:46,780
Roxy!

32
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:52,840
Hi.

33
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,480
Morning, Miss Melman. Good morning.

34
00:01:57,070 --> 00:01:59,950
We were out of cornflakes, so I brought
you Oaties instead.

35
00:02:00,230 --> 00:02:01,089
Oh, that's fine.

36
00:02:01,090 --> 00:02:04,790
And tell Mr. Mullaney the Times wasn't
delivered, so here's USA Today.

37
00:02:05,410 --> 00:02:09,830
Plenty of colors. We could go to Cabo,
do a little fishing, play in the sand.

38
00:02:12,630 --> 00:02:15,590
Reminds me, forgot the banana for your
cereal. Be right back.

39
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:59,420
I'll be home for Christmas You

40
00:03:59,420 --> 00:04:06,100
can count on me Please

41
00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:11,240
have snow and mistletoe

42
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,420
And presents on the tree

43
00:04:16,420 --> 00:04:21,560
Christmas Eve

44
00:04:22,990 --> 00:04:29,190
Find me where the low light

45
00:04:29,190 --> 00:04:30,410
gleams.

46
00:04:32,530 --> 00:04:39,110
I'll be home for Christmas

47
00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:45,730
if only in my

48
00:04:45,730 --> 00:04:47,230
dreams.

49
00:04:48,310 --> 00:04:52,070
Can't guarantee snow, but maybe
mistletoe.

50
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,440
Morning, Dr. Bernardi.

51
00:04:54,220 --> 00:04:55,220
Sorry about these.

52
00:04:55,380 --> 00:04:57,080
Last night you tried pulling out your
IV.

53
00:04:57,420 --> 00:05:00,240
I didn't have a good night last night. I
had that dream again.

54
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,440
How are you feeling today?

55
00:05:03,260 --> 00:05:04,260
My head hurts.

56
00:05:04,860 --> 00:05:07,020
You must be having a reaction to the
diazepam.

57
00:05:07,580 --> 00:05:09,660
I'll have the dosage and see how you
feel.

58
00:05:11,140 --> 00:05:12,480
Feel like talking about your dream?

59
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,740
It's silly. What's the point?

60
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,500
Anything you can tell me will make my
evaluation for the court more complete.

61
00:05:19,020 --> 00:05:20,460
You think what I did was wrong?

62
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,760
My opinion?

63
00:05:22,110 --> 00:05:25,170
Setting those dogs free from the shelter
was an act of courage and sanity.

64
00:05:26,250 --> 00:05:28,030
But I'm banana cream pie for animals.

65
00:05:28,570 --> 00:05:29,650
I threatened someone.

66
00:05:30,770 --> 00:05:33,990
Even if the gun wasn't loaded, that's
not the way to get things done. The

67
00:05:33,990 --> 00:05:37,290
important thing is you are not to harm
anyone, including yourself.

68
00:05:37,710 --> 00:05:40,010
All I have to fear is fear of myself.

69
00:05:41,930 --> 00:05:42,930
I'll see you this afternoon.

70
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,300
That's your second piece. Who are you,
my mother? I'm glad you like the

71
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,180
People, this is not a coffee clutch.

72
00:05:57,540 --> 00:06:00,340
Oh, Douglas, you should really crush
them. With due respect to Melina's

73
00:06:00,340 --> 00:06:02,180
heritage, I'm not partial to Greek
cuisine.

74
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,580
Oh, you've never tried my mother's
spanakopita. And probably never will.

75
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,780
Back to business. Anne, where do we
stand on Stewart's charges?

76
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:09,979
Arraignments today.

77
00:06:09,980 --> 00:06:12,660
You really think that's wise,
representing your husband? This isn't

78
00:06:12,660 --> 00:06:15,360
discussion. Any chance he'll soon be
released from the hospital?

79
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,860
Maybe. Can we move on?

80
00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:17,989
Plowing ahead.

81
00:06:17,990 --> 00:06:18,990
Melina, another recipe.

82
00:06:19,310 --> 00:06:22,250
Oh, sure. Miss Taylor, is it your
aspiration to pass the California bar or

83
00:06:22,250 --> 00:06:23,250
the Pillsbury bake -off?

84
00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:26,990
Next, while not official Mackenzie
Brackman business, people versus Karen

85
00:06:26,990 --> 00:06:28,690
Hastings. I go to trial this afternoon.

86
00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:30,870
Things shaping up since last we spoke?

87
00:06:31,190 --> 00:06:33,050
Well, I'm still looking for the smoking
gun.

88
00:06:33,430 --> 00:06:34,430
Let's not be cute.

89
00:06:34,510 --> 00:06:37,570
Do you or do you not have evidence to
convict this woman of child abuse?

90
00:06:37,810 --> 00:06:41,350
At this point, the verdict could go
either way. Obviously, the jury will

91
00:06:41,350 --> 00:06:44,350
side with the mother. Why go to trial if
you're not ready? Why go to trial at

92
00:06:44,350 --> 00:06:47,110
all if you don't have a case? I agree.
Even though you're still working for the

93
00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:50,330
Attorney General, this could reflect
badly on our firm. I haven't finished

94
00:06:50,330 --> 00:06:53,810
unpacking yet, Douglas. Shall I look
into staying on at the AG's office?

95
00:06:54,490 --> 00:06:55,770
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, folks.

96
00:06:56,310 --> 00:06:59,930
I know that each of us has been under a
lot of pressure, but this really isn't

97
00:06:59,930 --> 00:07:00,930
what the season's about.

98
00:07:01,850 --> 00:07:03,410
Selflessness gives center.

99
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,180
Center creates order.

100
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:06,860
Order creates harmony.

101
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,140
What should we all do now, Lao Tzu?

102
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,360
Hug?

103
00:07:11,620 --> 00:07:17,060
Oh, please, now. Perhaps this would be a
good time to present Douglas with his

104
00:07:17,060 --> 00:07:18,060
present.

105
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,420
Merry Christmas, Douglas, from all of
us. It comes as quite a surprise. I

106
00:07:27,420 --> 00:07:28,420
don't know what to say.

107
00:07:38,190 --> 00:07:39,690
To replace your old pocket watch.

108
00:07:40,030 --> 00:07:41,030
Get serious.

109
00:07:41,290 --> 00:07:42,450
That's the holiday spirit.

110
00:07:42,810 --> 00:07:44,710
Ho, ho, ho. We're adjourned.

111
00:07:48,910 --> 00:07:52,170
No, take it from me. The pine cone thing
goes well with what you're wearing.

112
00:07:52,590 --> 00:07:55,530
Romney! What are you doing here?

113
00:07:55,870 --> 00:07:59,730
I'm trying to the city attorney's
office, putting out feelers. My resume.

114
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:05,700
You can't still be angry. All he did was
outwit you in court and send you to

115
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:09,860
jail. My conviction was an abysmal
miscarriage of justice, not to mention

116
00:08:09,860 --> 00:08:13,180
embarrassment to the constitutional
rights of every free -speaking American.

117
00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:14,500
Put that on your book jacket.

118
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,760
You're writing a book? What I do,
Romney, is not up for your scrutiny.

119
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:26,080
But if you must know, I'm writing a
roman of clay about the time I spent in

120
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,500
jail. I didn't realize my first case
would bring me such notoriety.

121
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,000
You're not even a footnote.

122
00:08:32,119 --> 00:08:33,119
Now beat it.

123
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,440
It's not fair.

124
00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:36,240
It's the day before Christmas.

125
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,000
Well, we can't have everything we want,
not even at Christmas.

126
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:44,320
Why did Mr. McKenzie give away the party
money anyway? Because the firm made a

127
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,740
donation to help rebuild L .A. after the
rioting. But I'd rather have a party.

128
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,160
Well, we can't, and that's all there is
to it.

129
00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:52,740
And put that in the kitchen.

130
00:08:52,940 --> 00:08:53,940
Gwen.

131
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,280
Gwen, I have a little something for you.

132
00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:59,460
But then again, who doesn't, right?

133
00:09:00,270 --> 00:09:03,590
It's no fun having every pervert and
wacko sniffing after you, Romney.

134
00:09:05,370 --> 00:09:06,370
Merry Christmas.

135
00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:07,470
I don't want your gift.

136
00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:11,790
It's a token of my esteem. Low esteem?
Look, I got work and I'm a little

137
00:09:12,230 --> 00:09:13,310
Don't think I haven't noticed.

138
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:16,010
Maybe your ass is why you're being
harassed.

139
00:09:16,690 --> 00:09:19,030
Does this mean you're not joining me and
my folks for chestnut stuffing?

140
00:09:19,290 --> 00:09:21,930
In keeping with the holiday cheer, I'm
calling security and having you thrown

141
00:09:21,930 --> 00:09:23,830
out. Well, thank me later.

142
00:09:28,810 --> 00:09:29,930
Cubic zirconium.

143
00:09:36,050 --> 00:09:38,750
You've still no idea why she fell into
the coma?

144
00:09:38,990 --> 00:09:40,530
Or why she came out of it.

145
00:09:41,010 --> 00:09:45,390
Medicine isn't an exact science, but
she's doing much better now.

146
00:09:45,630 --> 00:09:50,050
Her blood pressure's down, her weight is
up, she's responsive.

147
00:09:50,450 --> 00:09:51,810
Don't touch my daughter.

148
00:09:52,290 --> 00:09:53,450
It's your fault.

149
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,480
You let social services take away my
baby.

150
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,400
Isn't it enough that she's sick?

151
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,100
Why are you blaming me?

152
00:10:01,340 --> 00:10:05,060
Mrs. Hayden, I am not at liberty to
discuss this case. You are out of

153
00:10:05,620 --> 00:10:10,220
If you honestly cared about protecting
my child, you wouldn't keep us apart.

154
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,940
We'll leave you and Janie alone.

155
00:10:17,460 --> 00:10:20,780
How often does she visit? Every day.

156
00:10:21,470 --> 00:10:24,530
Playing games with Janie, laughing,
peekaboo.

157
00:10:24,750 --> 00:10:27,970
Is there always someone in the room, a
nurse, an orderly?

158
00:10:28,410 --> 00:10:30,990
This is a hospital, not a bed and
breakfast.

159
00:10:32,750 --> 00:10:34,910
Still think she's guilty of child abuse?

160
00:10:36,010 --> 00:10:37,730
I just can't prove it.

161
00:10:41,050 --> 00:10:44,530
How about you discuss your dream?

162
00:10:44,970 --> 00:10:46,770
I'm on the first tee at the Riviera.

163
00:10:47,530 --> 00:10:49,190
Way high up above the fairway.

164
00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:50,670
Well, I'm...

165
00:10:50,810 --> 00:10:51,810
Pretty fair athlete.

166
00:10:52,490 --> 00:10:54,070
Actually, I'm not a bad athlete at all.

167
00:10:54,990 --> 00:10:56,890
You know, they say golf is a little
man's sport.

168
00:10:57,290 --> 00:10:58,410
Anyway, I'm in this force.

169
00:10:58,750 --> 00:11:02,550
There's Leland and Benny and some other
guy that I don't recognize.

170
00:11:03,330 --> 00:11:06,530
And they all take their turn. You know,
they get up, smack the ball right down

171
00:11:06,530 --> 00:11:07,530
the middle of the fairway.

172
00:11:08,450 --> 00:11:09,450
And then it's my turn.

173
00:11:11,130 --> 00:11:12,009
What happens?

174
00:11:12,010 --> 00:11:13,450
I'm not feeling very confident.

175
00:11:13,710 --> 00:11:17,070
I've played golf enough times to know
that it's pretty scary standing on the

176
00:11:17,070 --> 00:11:18,070
first tee at the Riviera.

177
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,319
Why is that?

178
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,460
Well, you know, you're not warmed up,
and everybody's watching you.

179
00:11:25,340 --> 00:11:26,199
Something wrong?

180
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,020
I just remembered that Anne is my caddy.

181
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:32,420
She's screaming at me to hit the driver.
I want to hit the three -wood. The

182
00:11:32,420 --> 00:11:34,760
three -wood is much safer, and she hands
me the driver anyway.

183
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,840
So it puts me all out of sync.

184
00:11:38,460 --> 00:11:43,300
And my palms start sweating, and I'm
losing my grip. I try to play anyway,

185
00:11:43,300 --> 00:11:45,000
sense that everybody's impatient with
me.

186
00:11:45,710 --> 00:11:47,970
And it's screaming at me, hurry, hurry.

187
00:11:49,090 --> 00:11:50,630
And I try to move fast.

188
00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:55,870
But I'm in that slow motion thing.

189
00:11:56,270 --> 00:11:58,350
I finally get the ball teed up.

190
00:11:58,650 --> 00:12:04,910
And I can't take my backswing because
everything's closing in on me.

191
00:12:05,730 --> 00:12:08,870
Because I'm in this closet.

192
00:12:11,450 --> 00:12:12,450
All alone.

193
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:15,760
So what do you mean?

194
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:17,680
What do you think?

195
00:12:17,740 --> 00:12:18,740
You tell me.

196
00:12:19,660 --> 00:12:20,579
I don't know.

197
00:12:20,580 --> 00:12:21,660
Well, you're supposed to know.

198
00:12:22,220 --> 00:12:23,220
You're the doctor.

199
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,600
Gwen, since your family is away for the
holiday... How did you know that?

200
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,000
You told me last week.

201
00:12:38,140 --> 00:12:41,460
If you don't have plans, I thought you
might like to spend Christmas Eve with

202
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:42,460
and Lucy.

203
00:12:46,060 --> 00:12:47,540
Will you talk to me, please?

204
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:49,420
What did I do?

205
00:12:49,860 --> 00:12:51,160
Daniel, leave me alone.

206
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,620
Look, son, I'll be back later this
afternoon.

207
00:12:58,780 --> 00:13:02,980
What does anybody really know about him?
Besides the fact that he's a wonderful

208
00:13:02,980 --> 00:13:06,560
father, a great litigator, and generous
to a fault?

209
00:13:07,420 --> 00:13:08,900
Nothing. That's what I mean.

210
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,200
He's too perfect.

211
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,740
Obviously, Daniel has a dark side. We
just haven't seen it.

212
00:13:15,180 --> 00:13:16,340
What are you talking about?

213
00:13:16,620 --> 00:13:20,420
All those sick gifts, the phone calls,
Roxanne. I think he's responsible.

214
00:13:28,660 --> 00:13:31,480
Oh, Melina, this is Joanne. Oh, thank
you, Roxanne.

215
00:13:32,060 --> 00:13:33,700
No name, no return address?

216
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,560
Hope it's not a lump of coal.

217
00:13:46,030 --> 00:13:48,510
What could Mrs. Hastings be injecting
into her daughter's IV?

218
00:13:48,850 --> 00:13:49,850
Not a clue.

219
00:13:50,570 --> 00:13:52,490
She looks a little nervous, though.

220
00:13:52,990 --> 00:13:57,850
And you have no idea who sent it? No,
the receptionist said someone left it at

221
00:13:57,850 --> 00:13:58,629
her desk.

222
00:13:58,630 --> 00:14:00,730
Well, I'm going to find out what this
woman's up to.

223
00:14:01,390 --> 00:14:02,390
Something's not right here.

224
00:14:06,450 --> 00:14:11,570
Whoever did send this to me knew exactly
what I wanted for Christmas.

225
00:14:13,710 --> 00:14:15,290
Appreciate whatever you can do, Tommy.

226
00:14:16,170 --> 00:14:19,810
See them for giving it in. Let's go,
counsel. I still have Christmas

227
00:14:20,150 --> 00:14:21,750
Tommy Mullaney for the people, Your
Honor.

228
00:14:22,010 --> 00:14:23,150
Ann Kelsey for the defense.

229
00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:25,230
How does your client plead, Miss Kelsey?

230
00:14:25,510 --> 00:14:26,449
No contest.

231
00:14:26,450 --> 00:14:28,710
Your Honor, people recommend a suspended
sentence.

232
00:14:29,050 --> 00:14:32,590
The defendant was carrying a sealed
weapon which he drew on an innocent

233
00:14:32,590 --> 00:14:36,290
at the animal shelter. I have an
affidavit from said employee stating

234
00:14:36,290 --> 00:14:39,690
suffered no injury, Your Honor. That
doesn't mean jack straw to me, Miss

235
00:14:39,850 --> 00:14:44,310
I treat brandishing a .44 Magnum as a
little more than just a breach of

236
00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:47,430
etiquette. Your Honor, my client... has
surrendered his firearm to the police.

237
00:14:47,690 --> 00:14:50,470
Goodie. Give me some reason to suspend
sentence.

238
00:14:50,710 --> 00:14:54,130
Defendants know prior history and...
Your Honor, my client was recently the

239
00:14:54,130 --> 00:14:56,850
victim of a vicious assault and is
living in fear for his life.

240
00:14:57,090 --> 00:14:59,470
He has yet to regain full mental
faculty.

241
00:14:59,750 --> 00:15:03,910
But to that end, he's working very hard
at his rehabilitation and requests

242
00:15:03,910 --> 00:15:05,350
leniency in sentencing.

243
00:15:11,990 --> 00:15:14,750
What Mr. Markowitz did was a serious
offense.

244
00:15:16,110 --> 00:15:20,810
In light of the circumstances and the
evidence presented, however, I shall

245
00:15:20,810 --> 00:15:21,810
suspend sentence.

246
00:15:22,170 --> 00:15:26,270
Miss Kelsey, inform your client that if
he appears in my courtroom again under

247
00:15:26,270 --> 00:15:29,730
these same circumstances, I shall not be
so understanding.

248
00:15:31,170 --> 00:15:32,170
Next case.

249
00:15:33,910 --> 00:15:34,910
Enjoy.

250
00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:41,210
Happy Hanukkah, Becker. You swore to me
that Beatrice Shuler could walk.

251
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:44,830
Only I pick her up, she falls to the
floor like a sack of potatoes. You're

252
00:15:44,830 --> 00:15:48,090
me, Ben. I don't know what for. Help
yourself to some kichelach. I don't want

253
00:15:48,090 --> 00:15:52,630
food. I want the truth. The truth? Which
version? Your material's getting stale.

254
00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:55,570
And for all I know, you're lying about
your partner's divorce threatening to

255
00:15:55,570 --> 00:15:57,550
bring down worldwide like a house of
cards.

256
00:15:57,810 --> 00:16:01,470
You play canasta or are you a gin rummy
man? That's it. I'm through. You'll get

257
00:16:01,470 --> 00:16:03,410
my bill. Good luck finding yourself
another puppet.

258
00:16:04,410 --> 00:16:06,030
Pinocchio wasn't a puppet to Geppetto.

259
00:16:07,770 --> 00:16:08,770
Excuse me?

260
00:16:13,550 --> 00:16:17,130
A man works a lifetime, seven days a
week.

261
00:16:17,650 --> 00:16:22,630
What's he have to show for it? Old sound
stages, lazy writers, and a few

262
00:16:22,630 --> 00:16:24,710
colorized movies in someone else's
library.

263
00:16:26,090 --> 00:16:27,090
Pathetic.

264
00:16:27,930 --> 00:16:31,030
Arnie, you've become like a son.

265
00:16:32,390 --> 00:16:34,630
But I can't solve this problem alone.

266
00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:38,110
You still haven't told me what it is
you're trying to solve.

267
00:16:38,350 --> 00:16:40,690
If I lose this studio, I lose my life.

268
00:16:41,170 --> 00:16:42,710
I need you to buy me time.

269
00:16:46,190 --> 00:16:49,290
Looks like Mrs. Shuler will demand to
have Worldwide's books opened in the

270
00:16:49,290 --> 00:16:50,290
divorce.

271
00:16:50,370 --> 00:16:53,570
Then you'll have to meet Shuler. Up to
now, you wouldn't let me speak with him.

272
00:16:53,610 --> 00:16:54,610
What changed your mind?

273
00:16:54,710 --> 00:16:55,710
There's no other choice.

274
00:16:57,390 --> 00:16:58,970
Is Mr. Shuler in his office?

275
00:16:59,690 --> 00:17:00,890
No, he's out of town.

276
00:17:01,390 --> 00:17:02,990
You'll have to wait till after the
holidays.

277
00:17:03,850 --> 00:17:10,550
Becker, I know it's frustrating, what
with all the delays, but it's for the

278
00:17:10,550 --> 00:17:13,369
best, believe me. I hope this time I can
believe you.

279
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:21,220
At this time, Your Honor, the people
introduce into evidence a videotape

280
00:17:21,220 --> 00:17:25,700
by a surveillance camera in Janie
Hastings' room. Your Honor, this is

281
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:28,680
and completely prejudicial. Counsel,
approach the bench.

282
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,280
Miss Parris, did you have a warrant?

283
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,420
The camera was installed by the
hospital. The only reason they would

284
00:17:36,420 --> 00:17:37,420
it... I'm inclined to...

285
00:17:37,820 --> 00:17:41,640
On what grounds? For starters, violation
of the Fourth and Fourteenth

286
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,100
Amendments. Your evidence was obtained
illegally.

287
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:47,960
I bring to the court's attention the
Supreme Court case, Bordeaux v.

288
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,400
McDowell. They rule that the Fourth
Amendment does not apply to evidence

289
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,040
obtained by a private party, one not
under the employment or direction of a

290
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,019
enforcement agency.

291
00:17:56,020 --> 00:17:59,040
This is clearly a Fourth Amendment case,
therefore a warrant describing what was

292
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,660
to be seized should have been obtained.
I appreciate the civics lecture, Mr.

293
00:18:02,780 --> 00:18:04,740
Highgate, but it's not so obvious to me.

294
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,240
I'll review the cases and make my
ruling. I assume you can authenticate

295
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,920
evidence, including your own affidavit
that you had no prior knowledge?

296
00:18:13,100 --> 00:18:16,680
Absolutely. Oh, you might also look up
an emergency exception to the fourth.

297
00:18:17,220 --> 00:18:18,380
State versus hunt.

298
00:18:19,740 --> 00:18:20,800
Court is in recess.

299
00:18:25,660 --> 00:18:27,080
Things stacked up in X -ray?

300
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,060
The orderly said it shouldn't be much
longer.

301
00:18:30,460 --> 00:18:31,460
Hmm.

302
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:33,240
I have some time.

303
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:34,680
Feel like talking?

304
00:18:35,100 --> 00:18:36,100
You figured out my dream?

305
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,820
Stuart, literal interpretation isn't
important.

306
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,920
It's the way the dream takes you.

307
00:18:41,820 --> 00:18:44,040
You've been living with it for months.
How does it make you feel?

308
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,280
I told you I don't know.

309
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,980
On the surface, my life is about playing
just inside the rules, you know?

310
00:18:52,660 --> 00:18:54,620
Like my job. I'm a tax attorney.

311
00:18:54,820 --> 00:18:58,480
So I find shortcuts and loopholes so
that people can minimize their taxes.

312
00:18:58,960 --> 00:18:59,960
But what taxes?

313
00:19:00,939 --> 00:19:05,100
Taxes are a means of paying for
hospitals and teachers and highways and

314
00:19:05,500 --> 00:19:07,360
Things that should be available to
people, right?

315
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,160
But they're not.

316
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:14,980
I mean, I think some of the problems
that led to the riots were caused

317
00:19:14,980 --> 00:19:17,380
people in South Central L .A. weren't
given their fair share.

318
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:21,500
Are you saying you helped cause the
riot?

319
00:19:22,580 --> 00:19:23,580
No.

320
00:19:25,540 --> 00:19:26,860
Yeah. We're ready for them now.

321
00:19:27,180 --> 00:19:28,180
I don't know.

322
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,160
Let's do it.

323
00:19:30,990 --> 00:19:32,450
The riots weren't your fault.

324
00:19:33,090 --> 00:19:35,430
You didn't deserve getting attacked and
beaten.

325
00:19:45,970 --> 00:19:47,310
Hey. Hi.

326
00:19:48,410 --> 00:19:49,410
Ready for lunch?

327
00:19:49,550 --> 00:19:50,129
Mm -hmm.

328
00:19:50,130 --> 00:19:57,070
Before we go... Try this

329
00:19:57,070 --> 00:19:59,210
one. Sam, what are you doing?

330
00:20:00,749 --> 00:20:02,790
Ooh, the color makes your eyes so green.

331
00:20:03,830 --> 00:20:04,830
What do you think?

332
00:20:06,150 --> 00:20:07,150
I don't know.

333
00:20:07,990 --> 00:20:11,510
It's your Christmas present. What kind
of gift is that if I already know what

334
00:20:11,510 --> 00:20:12,209
I'm getting?

335
00:20:12,210 --> 00:20:15,850
Well, I want to make sure it fits so we
can make the exchange at the store on

336
00:20:15,850 --> 00:20:18,510
our way to lunch. Well, next time, don't
wait till the last minute, okay?

337
00:20:18,750 --> 00:20:20,910
Please, try it on. You try it on.

338
00:20:24,030 --> 00:20:27,810
Why are you being so stubborn? Roxanne,
I told you a week ago, don't buy me

339
00:20:27,810 --> 00:20:28,930
anything for Christmas.

340
00:20:29,470 --> 00:20:30,490
What's the matter, Tommy?

341
00:20:31,010 --> 00:20:34,410
Never got the bicycle you always wanted?
As a matter of fact, no.

342
00:20:35,570 --> 00:20:40,890
Well, I'd like to give you something. So
give me the sweater or the bike or not.

343
00:20:41,750 --> 00:20:45,250
Just leave me out of the process, huh?
All right. I won't buy you a present.

344
00:20:45,550 --> 00:20:47,830
Fine. Fine. Forget I brought it up.

345
00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:51,250
Fine. Can we go to lunch now? I'd like
to stop by the store.

346
00:20:52,150 --> 00:20:55,350
Roxanne, I told you to leave me out of
it. Not a problem.

347
00:20:55,710 --> 00:20:56,710
I'll go alone.

348
00:21:01,730 --> 00:21:05,270
Currently, I'm chief of psychiatry in
residence at Cedric Hospital.

349
00:21:05,590 --> 00:21:07,410
Have you reviewed Janie Hastings' file?

350
00:21:07,710 --> 00:21:10,770
Yes, and nothing in it leads me to
believe that Mrs.

351
00:21:11,030 --> 00:21:15,510
Hastings was anything less than a
caring, loving mother. Still, there's no

352
00:21:15,510 --> 00:21:19,750
denying that her daughter's been doing
better in the ten days she's been out of

353
00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:20,830
Mrs. Hastings' care.

354
00:21:21,090 --> 00:21:24,110
Do you have a medical opinion as to the
cause of Janie's illnesses?

355
00:21:24,630 --> 00:21:26,740
Yes. Her mother. Can you explain?

356
00:21:26,980 --> 00:21:30,680
The videotape... Your Honor, the defense
again renews its objection on the

357
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,740
admission of said videotape into
evidence. Mr. Highgate, I've made my

358
00:21:35,020 --> 00:21:36,280
Ms. Paros, continue.

359
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,080
How has this videotape changed your
diagnosis?

360
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:44,420
It helps confirm that Mrs. Hastings
suffers from a condition known as

361
00:21:44,420 --> 00:21:45,680
syndrome by proxy.

362
00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:49,340
It's child abuse, wherein a parent...

363
00:21:49,690 --> 00:21:52,510
feigns or manufactures illness in the
child.

364
00:21:52,710 --> 00:21:54,170
So the court fully understands.

365
00:21:54,410 --> 00:21:59,370
You're contending that Mrs. Hastings has
been deliberately making her daughter

366
00:21:59,370 --> 00:22:00,570
sick. Oh, yes.

367
00:22:00,970 --> 00:22:02,510
Objection leading the witness.

368
00:22:02,930 --> 00:22:09,010
Overruled. It's an unusual form of abuse
designed to have the child subjected to

369
00:22:09,010 --> 00:22:12,030
unnecessary diagnostic tests and
treatments.

370
00:22:12,370 --> 00:22:13,610
Why would a mother do this?

371
00:22:13,950 --> 00:22:18,530
Typically, parents who perpetuate
Munchausen's are themselves diagnosed

372
00:22:18,530 --> 00:22:24,350
hysteria, sociopathy, and narcissistic
or borderline personality disorders.

373
00:22:24,730 --> 00:22:27,570
Do you have any doubt about your
diagnosis, Dr. Lawrence?

374
00:22:27,790 --> 00:22:30,970
After viewing the videotape, absolutely
not.

375
00:22:31,210 --> 00:22:32,210
Thank you.

376
00:22:34,730 --> 00:22:41,290
Dr. Lawrence, are you an expert on
Munchausen's syndrome by proxy?

377
00:22:41,390 --> 00:22:43,210
Yes, one of a very few.

378
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,180
It's an under -recognized illness. And
yet, without even an examination, you've

379
00:22:48,180 --> 00:22:53,640
labeled my client as a sufferer of this
under -recognized illness. Sure you're

380
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:54,860
not a victim of your own expertise?

381
00:22:55,240 --> 00:23:00,000
In Mrs. Hastings' case, there were
discrepancies between history, clinical

382
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,400
findings, and general health of the
child.

383
00:23:02,660 --> 00:23:08,220
What's more, Janie's seizures and
accidents were witnessed only by Mrs.

384
00:23:08,380 --> 00:23:09,900
Hastings. I think you're reaching,
Doctor.

385
00:23:10,430 --> 00:23:13,590
There's a very sick little girl and no
one can figure out what's wrong, so you

386
00:23:13,590 --> 00:23:18,190
plug in some bizarre diagnosis to
implicate my client. What's the saying

387
00:23:18,190 --> 00:23:19,029
medical community?

388
00:23:19,030 --> 00:23:20,610
Think horses, not zebras.

389
00:23:20,870 --> 00:23:23,250
Objection. Badgering. Withdrawn. Nothing
further.

390
00:23:42,070 --> 00:23:43,070
Nice car.

391
00:23:43,750 --> 00:23:44,750
Thank you.

392
00:23:51,410 --> 00:23:56,490
What the hell are you doing? Cobra
drive. Hey, pal, if you want money...

393
00:23:56,490 --> 00:23:57,490
green.

394
00:24:08,170 --> 00:24:11,530
And if you don't keep the revs above
three grand, the engine bogs down in

395
00:24:11,530 --> 00:24:13,250
seconds. How about gas? What kind?

396
00:24:13,610 --> 00:24:15,130
Unleavened. 92 octane or better.

397
00:24:15,810 --> 00:24:19,350
Expensive. Maybe you should be stealing
something more economical.

398
00:24:19,590 --> 00:24:21,350
How about a Honda or a Toyota?

399
00:24:21,550 --> 00:24:25,130
An American automobile. You know, we're
building more efficient, reliable... A

400
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:27,350
Porsche was on the top of my wish list.
Right.

401
00:24:28,190 --> 00:24:29,730
Whoa. Get on the freeway.

402
00:24:30,010 --> 00:24:31,010
Look,

403
00:24:31,350 --> 00:24:32,350
you can have the car.

404
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,560
I'll even join a free ticket guest. Just
let me out. What do you say? Jump on

405
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,600
the freeway and change this music. I
hate classical music. It's so old.

406
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,900
Mind if I ask where we're headed?

407
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:46,760
Las Vegas.

408
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,600
Christmas in Vegas?

409
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:50,440
Drive.

410
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:58,040
What is it, Douglas? I have something to
say about my gift.

411
00:24:58,880 --> 00:24:59,880
Happy to hear it.

412
00:25:00,780 --> 00:25:01,980
Hope you saved the receipt.

413
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,180
How can you be so ungracious?

414
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,840
It's easy. My pocket watch was an
heirloom, passed down by my father from

415
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,040
father, from his father by... Yes,
Douglas.

416
00:25:12,300 --> 00:25:13,300
I've broken the legacy.

417
00:25:13,540 --> 00:25:17,480
And you can't replace history like that
with something store -bought.

418
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,440
However misdirected, I appreciate the
sentiment.

419
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,200
If my father were here, he wouldn't be
angry.

420
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:26,400
Disappointed, which is much worse.

421
00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:29,900
I let that watch slip from my grasp.

422
00:25:31,210 --> 00:25:33,550
And now, my book as well.

423
00:25:33,910 --> 00:25:36,470
No, I thought you were on the final
chapter.

424
00:25:36,730 --> 00:25:38,710
My ghostwriter turned into a ghost.

425
00:25:38,910 --> 00:25:39,910
Roger disappeared.

426
00:25:40,090 --> 00:25:44,810
Now I'll never see how my life story
ends. Douglas, you have so many things

427
00:25:44,810 --> 00:25:47,810
be thankful for, beginning with your
freedom.

428
00:25:48,570 --> 00:25:53,030
I just received a court notice delaying
Daniel's appeal for the release of Frank

429
00:25:53,030 --> 00:25:57,130
Osgood. Now there's a man that's going
to spend his 34th Christmas locked in a

430
00:25:57,130 --> 00:25:58,130
jail cell alone.

431
00:25:58,430 --> 00:25:59,490
Well, Leland.

432
00:26:00,060 --> 00:26:01,060
You put him there.

433
00:26:09,460 --> 00:26:10,460
Gwen!

434
00:26:12,060 --> 00:26:13,060
Gwen!

435
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,580
Oh, now I know why I never use this
machine. Always eats my quarter.

436
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:20,160
A man would rip it right off the wall.

437
00:26:21,180 --> 00:26:25,020
Why is it when they can't deal with
their emotions, the response is always

438
00:26:25,020 --> 00:26:27,080
primal? I don't know.

439
00:26:30,350 --> 00:26:32,850
I made a real mistake getting involved
with Daniel.

440
00:26:33,630 --> 00:26:36,090
Daniel isn't sending you those weird
gifts.

441
00:26:36,870 --> 00:26:38,310
Are you relying on intuition?

442
00:26:38,970 --> 00:26:42,390
Well, that and the fact that my desk is
right outside his office.

443
00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:47,170
Sometimes I hear him cooing to the baby,
talking on the phone.

444
00:26:48,110 --> 00:26:53,130
Behind that stoic mask is a man hiding a
lot of pain over his wife's death.

445
00:26:53,530 --> 00:26:55,890
Why is it men are afraid to show any
weakness?

446
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,800
Maybe deep down they're all just little
boys who don't know what they want.

447
00:27:02,580 --> 00:27:03,580
I'll give up.

448
00:27:03,980 --> 00:27:05,060
Oh, you shouldn't.

449
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,880
And if you're interested in Daniel, he
deserves a second chance.

450
00:27:10,220 --> 00:27:12,040
No, I mean I give up on this machine.

451
00:27:12,380 --> 00:27:13,380
I'm going to go.

452
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,280
I use the ladies' room across the hall.
Thanks for your advice, though.

453
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,500
Couldn't I have taken a dose myself?

454
00:27:33,780 --> 00:27:36,980
Daniel. Oh, my God.

455
00:27:37,660 --> 00:27:43,820
Santa comes but once a year, and then
it's down the chimney. You kiss me.

456
00:27:44,580 --> 00:27:46,100
Lean in, lean out.

457
00:27:46,620 --> 00:27:49,460
You really know how to drive a guy wild.

458
00:27:49,780 --> 00:27:50,940
What are you doing back anyway?

459
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,460
Just dropping off Christmas gifts to go
along with my resume. Can't hurt, right?

460
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,200
You ever approach me again, and I will
knee you back into puberty.

461
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,700
Okay, but first can I have the ring?

462
00:28:01,370 --> 00:28:03,270
I spent the last of my savings on that
diamond.

463
00:28:04,650 --> 00:28:08,750
Diamond. 2 .5 carats. Could get Bugs
Bunny through the winter.

464
00:28:13,590 --> 00:28:15,850
Romney, listen, I have to get back to
you on that ring.

465
00:28:21,330 --> 00:28:23,030
Here's your x -rays from the latest MRI.

466
00:28:24,170 --> 00:28:25,310
Tell me what you see here.

467
00:28:26,330 --> 00:28:28,890
Looks like a butterfly.

468
00:28:30,410 --> 00:28:35,360
Joking. It's a cyst, probably formed
post -traumatically during the healing

469
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:40,100
process. And now it's placing pressure
on your brain, causing misfiring, known

470
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:41,260
as uncinate fits.

471
00:28:41,900 --> 00:28:43,780
Is that why I felt that confusion?

472
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,620
As well as the anger, the olfactory
hallucinations, yes.

473
00:28:46,820 --> 00:28:47,820
What about my memory?

474
00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:49,100
You'll always have some loss.

475
00:28:49,540 --> 00:28:50,580
Can you operate?

476
00:28:52,180 --> 00:28:53,340
May not be necessary.

477
00:28:54,500 --> 00:28:57,960
I'd like to start you on a drug called
Dilantin.

478
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,440
It should reduce the swelling and
hopefully shrink the cyst.

479
00:29:01,820 --> 00:29:04,980
And as your recovery progresses, we'll
gradually taper the medication.

480
00:29:05,380 --> 00:29:08,400
He'll be back to normal? Once the growth
is gone, we'll take you off the

481
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,400
Dilantin altogether.

482
00:29:10,180 --> 00:29:11,900
You shouldn't have any more of these
problems.

483
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,280
Oh, my God.

484
00:29:13,940 --> 00:29:14,940
That's wonderful.

485
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:16,860
I'll start the paperwork for Stuart's
release.

486
00:29:25,180 --> 00:29:26,980
Sweetheart, I'm so happy for you.

487
00:29:28,750 --> 00:29:29,750
For us?

488
00:29:30,330 --> 00:29:31,330
Me too.

489
00:29:38,050 --> 00:29:39,890
You know, carjacking's one thing.

490
00:29:40,150 --> 00:29:41,830
Grand Theft Auto, two years prison.

491
00:29:42,310 --> 00:29:45,690
But assault with a deadly weapon,
kidnapping, you're looking at four to

492
00:29:45,690 --> 00:29:46,690
years easy.

493
00:29:46,710 --> 00:29:47,790
I'll take my chances.

494
00:29:48,150 --> 00:29:50,370
Besides, now I know a good lawyer.

495
00:29:50,910 --> 00:29:52,990
Maybe we should get back on the
interstate.

496
00:29:54,450 --> 00:29:57,570
What are you doing throwing your trash
out the window like that? We're in the

497
00:29:57,570 --> 00:29:58,570
middle of nowhere.

498
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,360
All the more reason. No one's around to
pick up after slobs like you. Pull over.

499
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,040
To the side of the road. I didn't stop.

500
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,220
Pull over. Come on.

501
00:30:09,260 --> 00:30:10,260
I'll follow.

502
00:30:10,660 --> 00:30:11,660
Go.

503
00:30:12,020 --> 00:30:13,020
Go.

504
00:30:15,060 --> 00:30:17,320
Come on. You can't leave me out here.
It's freezing.

505
00:30:18,180 --> 00:30:19,440
I could catch pneumonia.

506
00:30:21,780 --> 00:30:24,940
Please, for a moment, be still. Discover
your inner security.

507
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,700
The more material possessions you
acquire, the more material possessions

508
00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:32,100
might lose. Is that owning or being
owned?

509
00:30:32,980 --> 00:30:33,980
Beats me.

510
00:30:55,610 --> 00:30:57,430
Roxanne. I need to speak with you.

511
00:30:57,630 --> 00:31:00,050
Ah, gee, I'm pretty busy.

512
00:31:00,350 --> 00:31:03,970
Doing what? There's no one else here.
Well, you know, I can get a lot done

513
00:31:03,970 --> 00:31:07,870
it's quiet. I think you're full of
baloney. Pardon me? I need to know

514
00:31:07,870 --> 00:31:08,870
bothering you.

515
00:31:08,950 --> 00:31:11,650
Nothing. You were the one who wanted a
relationship.

516
00:31:12,050 --> 00:31:16,470
You can't have a relationship if you
don't talk to the person you're supposed

517
00:31:16,470 --> 00:31:21,070
be in a relationship with. And I'm
telling you, there is nothing... I know

518
00:31:21,070 --> 00:31:23,950
better than that. What, do you think
you're inside my head, huh?

519
00:31:24,620 --> 00:31:28,220
You're not. Don't yell at me. That's
what I do. I yell. You're the one who

520
00:31:28,220 --> 00:31:31,180
listed all my great qualities. I got
lousy ones, too.

521
00:31:31,380 --> 00:31:35,000
Are you trying to prove I was wrong in
asking you to father a child? I am

522
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,660
to let you see who I really am.

523
00:31:37,140 --> 00:31:39,080
You're working too hard at it, Tommy.

524
00:31:41,140 --> 00:31:42,140
Merry Christmas.

525
00:31:47,420 --> 00:31:48,420
Mrs.

526
00:31:48,740 --> 00:31:52,460
Hastings, is it true your child's been
severely underweight most of her life?

527
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,720
Janie's condition is known as a failure
to thrive. I know what your doctors have

528
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,360
listed. What about witness accounts who
claim you've only given Janie breast

529
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:05,240
milk? Well, whenever my daughters try
baby food, she breaks out in a rash or

530
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,239
gets diarrhea.

531
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,760
That's not what the nurses say at the
hospital.

532
00:32:08,060 --> 00:32:10,820
Well, occasionally she'll tolerate more
than just milk.

533
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,900
But you can look over the pediatrician's
records.

534
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,560
Pediatricians, particularly those
dealing with children too young to

535
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,620
on parental reportings. True?

536
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,030
Yes. That gives you open license to
fabricate symptoms.

537
00:32:24,550 --> 00:32:25,710
Objection. Sustained.

538
00:32:25,970 --> 00:32:30,070
Mrs. Hastings, why is it your first
child had three pediatricians, your

539
00:32:30,070 --> 00:32:37,050
five? In particular, it's not uncommon
for a mother to have difficulty finding

540
00:32:37,050 --> 00:32:38,150
doctor that she likes.

541
00:32:38,450 --> 00:32:41,870
But isn't it true in your case, when
your pediatricians became suspicious of

542
00:32:41,870 --> 00:32:43,110
your reports, you moved on?

543
00:32:43,370 --> 00:32:47,350
Objection assumes fact, not in evidence.
Withdrawn. Mrs. Hastings, you're

544
00:32:47,350 --> 00:32:48,790
diabetic? Objection.

545
00:32:49,050 --> 00:32:50,970
Relevant. Latitude, Your Honor.

546
00:32:51,310 --> 00:32:52,029
I'll allow.

547
00:32:52,030 --> 00:32:55,090
And as a diabetic, you regularly give
yourself shots of insulin.

548
00:32:55,330 --> 00:33:00,510
True? Yes. Tell me, what would a shot of
insulin do if injected into the system

549
00:33:00,510 --> 00:33:01,710
of a non -diabetic?

550
00:33:02,130 --> 00:33:04,930
You were a nurse once. Certainly you
have some idea.

551
00:33:05,490 --> 00:33:10,230
Depending on the amount, the non
-diabetic could be rendered comatose.

552
00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:14,230
true what's seen in that videotape is
you causing the coma -like effects of

553
00:33:14,230 --> 00:33:18,090
hypoglycemia? Objection! What are you
implying? You lied about Janie's

554
00:33:18,090 --> 00:33:19,670
condition. Falsified report.

555
00:33:20,669 --> 00:33:24,270
Deliberately induced life -threatening
symptoms. I would never do that.

556
00:33:24,730 --> 00:33:29,130
Objection, Ms. Paros. Your Honor,
medications are carefully recorded at

557
00:33:29,130 --> 00:33:32,290
Hospital. There was an unaccounted -for
syringe with traces of insulin found and

558
00:33:32,290 --> 00:33:34,510
discarded. I haven't done anything
wrong.

559
00:33:34,750 --> 00:33:39,330
Mrs. Hastings, it's in the videotape. I
was adjusting Janie's IV. You were

560
00:33:39,330 --> 00:33:42,030
injecting your daughter with insulin.
Isn't that what you were doing?

561
00:33:42,030 --> 00:33:44,390
And you've done so on more than one
occasion. Isn't that true?

562
00:33:44,610 --> 00:33:48,090
What? Those puncture marks on Janie's
thighs weren't caused by pins left in a

563
00:33:48,090 --> 00:33:51,030
new pair of pajamas, but a... needle.
No, I'm a good mother.

564
00:33:51,270 --> 00:33:52,690
Fortunately, your daughter will make a
full recovery, but you killed your son

565
00:33:52,690 --> 00:33:56,090
the very same way. Isn't that true? I'm
a good mother. You're not, Miss Price. I

566
00:33:56,090 --> 00:33:59,070
am. I take care of my children. You hurt
them.

567
00:33:59,470 --> 00:34:00,470
Objection. Miss Price.

568
00:34:00,630 --> 00:34:01,650
You hurt your daughter.

569
00:34:02,070 --> 00:34:03,690
You killed your son.

570
00:34:04,250 --> 00:34:10,489
He was only supposed to get sick.

571
00:34:11,230 --> 00:34:13,489
He wasn't supposed to die.

572
00:34:13,909 --> 00:34:16,330
Your Honor, I request that you... Pardon
me.

573
00:34:42,730 --> 00:34:46,010
Oh, with such a large office staff and
so many people sharing their goodies,

574
00:34:46,190 --> 00:34:49,949
food certainly adds up. I told my mother
what Douglas said about Greek food.

575
00:34:50,429 --> 00:34:51,690
She took it personally.

576
00:34:53,350 --> 00:34:55,030
Oh, mother taught him a lot.

577
00:34:55,949 --> 00:34:57,610
Bless her, she even made moussaka.

578
00:34:58,770 --> 00:35:00,790
Congratulations on winning the Hastings
case.

579
00:35:02,650 --> 00:35:04,330
Well, it wasn't much of a victory.

580
00:35:05,370 --> 00:35:08,530
What kind of future will that little
girl have? No family?

581
00:35:08,810 --> 00:35:10,050
At least she will have her future.

582
00:35:10,750 --> 00:35:11,750
Justice was served.

583
00:35:14,060 --> 00:35:18,380
The only person I told about that
verdict was Janie's doctor at Cedric's.

584
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:19,900
I have a friend on the hospital board.

585
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:21,160
They just called.

586
00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:26,580
You had that camera placed in the
children's ward.

587
00:35:28,060 --> 00:35:31,440
Had I told you, I would have risked
tainting the evidence.

588
00:35:31,860 --> 00:35:34,100
That took courage, Leland. Thank you.

589
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,740
For believing in me.

590
00:35:37,780 --> 00:35:39,180
Welcome to Mackenzie Brackman.

591
00:35:53,470 --> 00:35:55,390
Lucy, I know she lost her other one.

592
00:35:59,810 --> 00:36:01,810
She loves Elmo. Thank you.

593
00:36:02,610 --> 00:36:04,510
Look, I'm going to give you the benefit
of the doubt.

594
00:36:05,790 --> 00:36:06,790
Whatever that means.

595
00:36:06,990 --> 00:36:10,950
I don't know anything about you, yet
you're always so nice, so solicitous.

596
00:36:13,350 --> 00:36:15,470
Are you the one that's haunting me?

597
00:36:16,670 --> 00:36:18,250
What makes you think it's me?

598
00:36:20,490 --> 00:36:21,870
Enough fairy tales, Daniel.

599
00:36:32,230 --> 00:36:35,830
Cinderella's glass slipper, red writing
on its cloak.

600
00:36:38,070 --> 00:36:39,250
There's no white heart.

601
00:36:42,670 --> 00:36:44,390
No wonder you've been avoiding me.

602
00:36:45,370 --> 00:36:47,130
Gwen, I would never do this.

603
00:36:50,910 --> 00:36:56,970
I know it's pretty insubstantial
evidence. I've been so off balance

604
00:36:58,010 --> 00:36:59,010
Me too.

605
00:37:02,990 --> 00:37:09,990
When Allison, my wife, when she was
pregnant, used to talk

606
00:37:09,990 --> 00:37:12,790
about all the wonderful things we were
going to share in our baby's life,

607
00:37:12,990 --> 00:37:15,470
especially Lucy's first Christmas.

608
00:37:18,050 --> 00:37:19,490
Allison really loved the holidays.

609
00:37:19,790 --> 00:37:22,430
She'd see something in a store and have
to buy it right then and there because

610
00:37:22,430 --> 00:37:27,010
it'd make the perfect gift for her
sister or my mother all year long. Every

611
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,270
I'd open a closet, somebody else's
present would fall out and hit me on the

612
00:37:30,270 --> 00:37:31,270
head.

613
00:37:38,670 --> 00:37:41,090
You were the first woman I kissed since
she died.

614
00:38:08,190 --> 00:38:11,550
Becker, what are you doing in the middle
of the desert, waiting for the fourth

615
00:38:11,550 --> 00:38:12,408
wise man?

616
00:38:12,410 --> 00:38:13,450
Don't flatter yourself.

617
00:38:20,450 --> 00:38:22,410
You know, there are coyotes out here.

618
00:38:23,290 --> 00:38:24,290
Rattlesnakes, too.

619
00:38:24,410 --> 00:38:27,190
I'll take my chances, but I'm sure you'd
feel right at home.

620
00:38:27,750 --> 00:38:32,190
Such hostility in such a holy place. I'm
sure it's no coincidence, the

621
00:38:32,190 --> 00:38:36,680
carjacking. Our crossing paths like
this, so I'd appreciate it if you'd just

622
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:37,538
my car back.

623
00:38:37,540 --> 00:38:40,320
A joke's a joke, but I'm tired of being
the punchline.

624
00:38:40,740 --> 00:38:42,980
Look at all those stars.

625
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,080
More than on Hollywood Boulevard.

626
00:38:47,300 --> 00:38:52,580
Moses wandered 40 years in the desert.
If he'd had a compass, how different the

627
00:38:52,580 --> 00:38:53,580
world would be.

628
00:38:53,620 --> 00:38:55,380
You're mixing up your holidays.

629
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:02,220
Baker, I don't know why we've run into
each other. Kids met, who can tell?

630
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:08,340
Why are you whispering?

631
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,120
No one's around for hundreds of miles!

632
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:12,800
Listen.

633
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:14,420
What do you hear?

634
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:15,960
The wind.

635
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:21,700
That's right. And powerful changes are
about to blow through. This is big. But

636
00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:25,880
because you're an honest and honorable
man, I've been reluctant to compromise

637
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,880
your professional ethics regarding
worldwide studios. What? A merger? A

638
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,340
What? You're warm.

639
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:33,580
I wish I was.

640
00:39:34,030 --> 00:39:38,770
Pending your meeting with Eric Schuller,
I want you to join me at the studio.

641
00:39:39,410 --> 00:39:44,470
No more jokes. You'll be looking for hot
properties, green lighting movies. With

642
00:39:44,470 --> 00:39:50,910
your youth and my savvy, we'll be
unbeatable. You are going to be a major

643
00:39:50,910 --> 00:39:51,910
in Hollywood.

644
00:39:52,230 --> 00:39:53,109
How major?

645
00:39:53,110 --> 00:39:54,810
I'll tell you on the drive home.

646
00:40:00,850 --> 00:40:01,850
Squeeze in.

647
00:40:12,290 --> 00:40:14,470
Baby, what in the world are you doing?

648
00:40:15,670 --> 00:40:16,669
Huh?

649
00:40:16,670 --> 00:40:18,930
Don't you know Santa knows when you're
sleeping?

650
00:40:19,990 --> 00:40:21,470
He knows when you're awake?

651
00:40:22,650 --> 00:40:24,890
Something I always thought was kind of
scary.

652
00:40:27,350 --> 00:40:29,790
Gosh, you sure look good, though.

653
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,600
When I couldn't sleep, my mom used to
sing me something.

654
00:40:42,860 --> 00:40:43,960
It was a lullaby.

655
00:40:45,380 --> 00:40:46,380
Can you hear it?

656
00:41:38,830 --> 00:41:40,070
Something certainly smells good.

657
00:41:40,730 --> 00:41:42,990
I don't know what this stuff is called,
but I like it.

658
00:41:45,310 --> 00:41:47,190
Pass me a plate, Benny.

659
00:41:48,030 --> 00:41:49,030
Good night, folks.

660
00:41:49,410 --> 00:41:50,410
Where are you headed?

661
00:41:50,490 --> 00:41:52,690
Home. Alone? Nonsense. Come with me.

662
00:41:53,010 --> 00:41:56,230
Share a goose with Sheila and the boys.
But first, try this.

663
00:42:03,270 --> 00:42:04,270
Hey,

664
00:42:04,670 --> 00:42:05,669
everyone.

665
00:42:05,670 --> 00:42:07,770
Whoa, who's the cook? Melina's mother.

666
00:42:08,140 --> 00:42:09,320
We hired the wrong relative.

667
00:42:09,540 --> 00:42:10,580
Where is Melina anyway?

668
00:42:10,860 --> 00:42:12,820
Last time I saw Paris, she was on her
way out.

669
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:13,759
Hey, look.

670
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,740
The gang's all here. Hey, Stuart.

671
00:42:15,940 --> 00:42:17,000
Hi, Leland. How are you?

672
00:42:17,500 --> 00:42:21,240
Good to see you. Good to be back. I
understand all charges were suspended.

673
00:42:21,580 --> 00:42:24,100
Uh -huh. You never know when you'll need
a friend in the DA's office.

674
00:42:24,380 --> 00:42:25,379
How are you feeling, Stuart?

675
00:42:25,380 --> 00:42:29,100
I'm feeling just great. No more
headaches? No, none. I'm feeling fine.

676
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:31,740
Let's not talk about my problems. We've
got a party here.

677
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,380
Yeah. Finally. Who's heard from
Jonathan? According to his itinerary, he

678
00:42:36,380 --> 00:42:39,260
be in Mozambique. Mr. Bregman, your
watch.

679
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:41,280
Lincoln found your watch.

680
00:42:41,580 --> 00:42:43,640
Hey, Lincoln. Good dog, Lincoln.

681
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,620
Now this calls for a celebration.

682
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,480
While we're gathered... Leland, you just
can't help yourself.

683
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:54,120
Friends, family, I wish you a healthy
and a prosperous new year.

684
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:59,040
May the saddest days of your future be
no worse than the happiest days of your

685
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,040
past.

686
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:01,660
Merry Christmas, everybody.

687
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,680
Merry Christmas, Ben. Merry Christmas,
everybody.

688
00:43:04,940 --> 00:43:05,939
Merry Christmas.

689
00:43:05,940 --> 00:43:06,960
Who can I help?

690
00:43:07,420 --> 00:43:09,500
Merry Christmas, Douglas.

691
00:43:30,730 --> 00:43:33,030
Here we are again. I'm glad you came.

692
00:43:34,810 --> 00:43:37,230
I didn't want to be alone tonight.

693
00:43:41,350 --> 00:43:45,770
Rox, I don't know what this holiday is
all about.

694
00:43:46,630 --> 00:43:50,590
For you, it's reliving warm, fuzzy
moments.

695
00:43:51,430 --> 00:43:58,070
For me, my memories are of a drunken
father,

696
00:43:58,310 --> 00:44:01,940
a crying mother, and a terrified baby
brother.

697
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:09,560
Actually, Christmas, New Year, and my
old man's birthday were the best days of

698
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:10,560
the year.

699
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,780
He was too drunk to catch me and smack
me around.

700
00:44:14,820 --> 00:44:20,080
The funny thing is, I always felt like I
kind of deserved getting popped.

701
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:26,100
You're a sweet, wonderful person. You
deserve good things, Tommy.

702
00:44:27,220 --> 00:44:29,300
I can't convince you of that.

703
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,180
You have to convince yourself.

704
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:33,760
I'm trying.

705
00:44:36,140 --> 00:44:37,160
Scat's on her.

706
00:44:38,140 --> 00:44:39,860
And I'm no quitter, Rox.

707
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:41,160
Me neither.

708
00:44:50,740 --> 00:44:55,060
Merry Christmas. I didn't buy any.

709
00:45:05,850 --> 00:45:09,810
I took a home pregnancy test.

710
00:45:13,370 --> 00:45:14,370
It's blue.

711
00:45:15,350 --> 00:45:16,350
It's blue.

712
00:45:19,230 --> 00:45:20,730
We're going to have a baby.

713
00:45:21,230 --> 00:45:22,570
We're going to have a baby.
