Law. 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,420 I don't think Stuart should litigate the Hogan case. 3 00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:08,180 I'm worried about him, Leland. 4 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,680 I think it's too early for him to be trying cases. 5 00:00:11,020 --> 00:00:13,660 You were supposed to support me, not cut my legs out for one of you. I want a 6 00:00:13,660 --> 00:00:16,860 husband, Stuart. I want a father for my child. Then let me be a man! I was 7 00:00:16,860 --> 00:00:18,000 thinking about Matthew. 8 00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:19,260 It's crap. 9 00:00:20,060 --> 00:00:22,900 I couldn't help but notice that Pat Sajak is one of your clients? 10 00:00:23,220 --> 00:00:26,480 The handler closing on his new house.

A warning about the turpentine in the toilet bowl. That 29 00:01:16,170 --> 00:01:17,990 could have used. I'm so sorry, Doug. 30 00:01:18,330 --> 00:01:20,230 You want to live in my house? 31 00:01:20,790 --> 00:01:21,790 I'd like you to. 32 00:01:22,150 --> 00:01:23,330 You know something, Benny? 33 00:01:24,670 --> 00:01:25,930 I think I'd like it too. 34 00:01:39,370 --> 00:01:42,730 television city in Hollywood, one of America's most loved shows. 35 00:01:46,410 --> 00:01:50,910 The Davis Wheel is spinning away with lots of cash and an assortment of 36 00:01:50,910 --> 00:01:51,910 sumptuous prizes. 37 00:01:52,250 --> 00:01:55,650 And now, here's your host, Bob Goen. 38 00:01:56,510 --> 00:02:01,090 Hey there, everybody, and thank you, Charlie O'Donnell, and welcome to you at 39 00:02:01,090 --> 00:02:03,870 home. Thanks for joining us on Wheel of Fortune. We have three eager players 40 00:02:03,870 --> 00:02:07,730 with us today. So let's get right to it and introduce our lovely hostess, Miss 41 00:02:07,730 --> 00:02:08,730 Vanna White. 42 00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:17,250 Yeah, our three players. First off, our current champion is Edna Gerth. Edna, 43 00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:18,870 tell us something good here. 44 00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:21,590 Well, I'm doing great. I want to keep winning. 45 00:02:21,810 --> 00:02:22,910 I love that money. 46 00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:27,630 That sums it up, doesn't it? Okay, in the middle is Douglas Brackman, an 47 00:02:27,630 --> 00:02:31,610 attorney. Hello, Bob. I have two wonderful sons. I'm single, and I work 48 00:02:31,610 --> 00:02:32,549 downtown firm. 49 00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:35,030 What did Shakespeare say? Kill all the downtown lawyers? 50 00:02:35,330 --> 00:02:36,330 That's right, Bob. 51 00:02:36,910 --> 00:02:40,850 Oh, welcome. And down on the end, Chicago, Illinois, brings us Jeffrey 52 00:02:40,970 --> 00:02:43,710 Jeffrey, I know you were a little nervous before the show, but you look 53 00:02:43,710 --> 00:02:47,170 now. I'm fine. Ready to play Wheel of Fortune. Okay, well, let's get right to 54 00:02:47,170 --> 00:02:49,150 then, shall we? Let's take a look at our first puzzle. 55 00:02:49,550 --> 00:02:50,750 Category is a phrase. 56 00:02:51,450 --> 00:02:53,450 And Edna, you're going to start. Give it a spin. 57 00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:57,650 Come on, come on. I want that big one. 58 00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:59,070 Come on. 59 00:03:00,470 --> 00:03:01,470 Hey, 300. 60 00:03:01,530 --> 00:03:02,810 How about a T? 61 00:03:03,090 --> 00:03:05,270 Yeah, good choice. We do have a T for you. 62 00:03:05,710 --> 00:03:06,710 Spin it again, Bob. 63 00:03:06,770 --> 00:03:07,910 Let's beat them big, Bob. 64 00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:17,990 150. Okay, um, how about an L? Yeah, good choice. We have two Ls. All right, 65 00:03:18,150 --> 00:03:19,150 yes. 66 00:03:19,650 --> 00:03:22,650 Oh, baby, baby, come on, 1250. 67 00:03:23,710 --> 00:03:24,870 Come on, come on, come on. 68 00:03:26,670 --> 00:03:29,270 Slow down, slow down. 69 00:03:30,670 --> 00:03:34,230 Bad boy, you're on a roll, too, isn't he? Sorry, Douglas, over to you. 70 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,039 Here we go. 71 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,700 12 .15. Nice opening spin. 72 00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:47,020 Let me see. 73 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,640 I want a B. Good choice. Two big Bs over there. 74 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,120 Okay, you have $2 ,500 already. You want to spin, solve it, buy a vowel? I'm 75 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,120 going to try to solve. 76 00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,400 You're kidding. 77 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,360 Bald is beautiful? 78 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,940 How about that? He's right. 79 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,420 First up, on an administrative note, I'll be out of the office again tomorrow 80 00:06:41,420 --> 00:06:45,060 afternoon. As the current champion on Wheel of Fortune, I've been invited back 81 00:06:45,060 --> 00:06:49,220 for another round. How much did you win? 11 ,000 cash, plus the dinette set. 82 00:06:49,340 --> 00:06:51,220 Wow. I thank you for your support. 83 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,160 On a second administrative point, let me note for the record the absence, once 84 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,920 again, of C .J. Lamb from this staff meeting. I've spoken to her four times 85 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,020 obviously to no avail. 86 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,560 I'll talk to her. Let's go. Next item, the Totten tax case, which has now 87 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,880 into the Totten audit, thanks to our ever -vigilant tax expert. 88 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,400 The IRS swooped down, Douglas. They just pounced. Nobody could have seen it 89 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,320 coming. Pouncing is what we're here to prevent, Stuart. It's what the client 90 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,220 pays us for. Leave him alone, Douglas. 91 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,720 Steve Totten is a million -dollar client. We have to fend off this audit. 92 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,840 it, Douglas, okay? Rosen versus Harbaugh. Yeah, couldn't settle. Start 93 00:07:29,260 --> 00:07:30,620 This can be won. 94 00:07:30,940 --> 00:07:31,919 Come on, Victor. 95 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,700 The doctor could have prevented this. I think you're absolutely right. 96 00:07:34,940 --> 00:07:36,920 You have no proximate cause. 97 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,240 What do you want to talk about? 98 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,180 Okay, okay, let's not try it here. 99 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,140 Victor, do what you can to settle it. Leland, I have been trying to settle it, 100 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,880 but they've offered $15 ,000. Now, how the hell do I convince the victim's 101 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,620 family that her life is worth less than a Volvo? 102 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,460 That's not the question. The question is making doctors responsible for every 103 00:07:53,460 --> 00:07:55,660 unfortunate event, even if their patients... 104 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:01,000 Damn well should take responsibility. No case, no way. All right, that's enough. 105 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,100 Do the best you can, Victor. Douglas, move on. 106 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,079 That's it. 107 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,080 We're adjourned. 108 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,640 They told me, but I had to see this for myself. 109 00:08:14,140 --> 00:08:15,140 Told me? 110 00:08:18,140 --> 00:08:19,140 Well, 111 00:08:20,380 --> 00:08:22,880 you actually moved into a stinking suit and tie shop? 112 00:08:23,140 --> 00:08:25,300 Hey, I tried to... I thought your line was disconnected. 113 00:08:25,780 --> 00:08:28,820 Yeah, I had a few bumps lately. But the phones are on again. 114 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,600 Listen, sweetheart. 115 00:08:32,620 --> 00:08:34,460 I've got a present for you. 116 00:08:34,820 --> 00:08:38,120 Non -smoker, lung cancer, second -hand smoke. 117 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,080 I beg your pardon? The doctors tell me it's for real. 118 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,960 32 years old, parents smoked victory menthols. He never smoked. 119 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,360 And he has lung cancer? 120 00:08:47,620 --> 00:08:50,920 Could be a big case, CJ, and it's all yours. But you've got to move. 121 00:08:51,310 --> 00:08:55,130 There are two depots scheduled this week. So why don't you want it? I do, 122 00:08:55,130 --> 00:08:57,770 tobacco companies hire lots of lawyers. 123 00:08:58,510 --> 00:09:01,150 Motions, paper from word processing hell. 124 00:09:02,150 --> 00:09:03,510 I'm in trouble keeping up. 125 00:09:04,610 --> 00:09:07,450 Plus, switch my malpractice insurance just lapsed. 126 00:09:07,890 --> 00:09:12,270 Tommy. Yeah, like I said, I hit a few bumps. Take care of this guy for me, 127 00:09:12,270 --> 00:09:13,270 you? I like him. 128 00:09:16,390 --> 00:09:19,390 How about we do it together? Co -counsel. You don't have to do that. 129 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,500 I'm thinking of the client. We couldn't possibly get up to speed for two 130 00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:24,660 depositions this week. You know the case. 131 00:09:24,980 --> 00:09:28,280 And you are probably a better litigator than anybody I've got here. 132 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,840 You try the case. We provide the backup. 133 00:09:31,180 --> 00:09:32,900 You cut a simple one -third of the take. 134 00:09:34,020 --> 00:09:35,220 Serious? Serious. 135 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,920 Leave the file so I can review it and schedule the depositions to take place 136 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:39,920 here. 137 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:44,880 I'm here. 138 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:46,720 Gwen! 139 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,160 I can't find it. What? 140 00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:56,940 1987. The whole correspondence from the field office. Cotton's coming in 141 00:09:56,940 --> 00:09:57,940 tomorrow to go over it. 142 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,440 How the hell can we do it all year? 143 00:10:00,740 --> 00:10:02,620 We didn't, Stuart. It's right here. 144 00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:06,700 You're going to hyperventilate when you sit down and relax. 145 00:10:09,180 --> 00:10:10,180 Breathe into this. 146 00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:22,430 Better? I think so. Sorry. 147 00:10:25,470 --> 00:10:26,990 I can't believe it was sitting right there. 148 00:10:27,510 --> 00:10:29,330 Going off the deep end, aren't I? You're fine. 149 00:10:29,910 --> 00:10:31,530 You're totally prepared for this. 150 00:10:32,290 --> 00:10:33,450 I don't feel prepared. 151 00:10:34,370 --> 00:10:39,950 I feel scattered. I feel disorganized, but I don't feel... I'm scared. 152 00:10:40,650 --> 00:10:44,210 I've done hundreds of audits, and I feel like it's the first time. Listen. 153 00:10:45,010 --> 00:10:46,870 You know the pension fund backwards. 154 00:10:47,110 --> 00:10:49,630 You found the best SEC consultant in town. 155 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:55,040 And you've got every schedule Totten ever filed in your head, Stuart. The IRS 156 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,160 doesn't stand a chance with you. 157 00:10:57,500 --> 00:10:59,220 They're not going to know what hit them. 158 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,500 Do you really believe that? 159 00:11:02,420 --> 00:11:03,420 Absolutely. 160 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,400 Mrs. 161 00:11:08,980 --> 00:11:12,540 Klein, what was your relationship to Barbara Rosen? She was my sister. 162 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,500 We were very close. We were 18 months apart. 163 00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:18,460 And how did your sister die, ma 'am? She was murdered. 164 00:11:21,410 --> 00:11:22,990 Beaten to death by her husband. 165 00:11:23,250 --> 00:11:27,290 Your Honor, the parties stipulate that Barbara Rosen was indeed severely beaten 166 00:11:27,290 --> 00:11:32,330 on November 15th, 1989 by her husband, Peter Rosen, that she died the next day 167 00:11:32,330 --> 00:11:35,530 as a result of her injuries, that Peter Rosen was convicted of voluntary 168 00:11:35,530 --> 00:11:39,010 manslaughter and is now serving six years in state prison. So stipulated. 169 00:11:39,230 --> 00:11:43,510 Mrs. Klein, could you please tell the court why you are here today suing your 170 00:11:43,510 --> 00:11:44,409 sister's doctor? 171 00:11:44,410 --> 00:11:49,670 Yes. When Barbara's autopsy indicated long -term bruises and injuries... 172 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,020 I had her medical records subpoenaed from Dr. Harbaugh. And what did you find 173 00:11:54,020 --> 00:11:54,679 those records? 174 00:11:54,680 --> 00:12:00,260 A history of physical abuse dating back over ten years. Black eyes, broken ribs, 175 00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:02,860 concussions. It was all there. 176 00:12:03,140 --> 00:12:05,940 All of these injuries were inflicted by your sister's husband? 177 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,640 Yes, and Dr. Harbaugh knew it. He saw the bruises. He knew she was a battered 178 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,700 wife, and yet he did nothing. 179 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,380 Well, what would you have him do, ma 'am? He should have told the police. Or 180 00:12:17,380 --> 00:12:18,840 least he could have told us. 181 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:24,720 He was our family doctor for over 15 years, but he just repeatedly kept 182 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,100 her back home to be beaten. 183 00:12:26,340 --> 00:12:32,600 He just stood by and let my sister get murdered. 184 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,140 Thank you very much, Mrs. Klein. 185 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,380 Mrs. Klein, you say you and your sister were close. 186 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:42,920 How often did you see each other? 187 00:12:43,140 --> 00:12:47,580 Whenever I came into town and on holidays, so maybe four or five times a 188 00:12:47,930 --> 00:12:52,670 Did you ever see any evidence that she was being abused? I remember once she 189 00:12:52,670 --> 00:12:55,310 limping, and I remember a bruise. 190 00:12:55,870 --> 00:12:58,070 But she had explanations both times. 191 00:12:58,350 --> 00:13:00,450 But you suspected abuse, didn't you, Mrs. Klein? 192 00:13:01,190 --> 00:13:03,590 I never knew how bad it was. Why didn't you tell anyone? 193 00:13:04,810 --> 00:13:06,710 Why didn't you report it to the police? 194 00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:14,610 Because I... I didn't know how serious it was. Did you ever ask her? 195 00:13:14,830 --> 00:13:16,290 No, because I... Because? 196 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,340 You respected her privacy, but Dr. 197 00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:23,240 Harbaugh shouldn't have. He should have treated your sister like a child, even 198 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,420 though she was a grown, educated woman. He should have done his job. 199 00:13:27,740 --> 00:13:31,120 He should have assumed that she didn't know what was good for her and made 200 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,740 decisions that were rightfully Barbara Rosen's. You saw what Peter did, and you 201 00:13:35,740 --> 00:13:36,760 did nothing. 202 00:13:37,180 --> 00:13:38,180 Move to strike. 203 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,020 You let my sister get killed. 204 00:13:49,020 --> 00:13:51,040 Okay, let's tackle the limited partnerships. 205 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:57,420 Right. We have all the prospectuses on file, including favorable opinions by 206 00:13:57,420 --> 00:13:58,420 major accounting firms. 207 00:13:58,580 --> 00:14:01,860 They're indexed by year, but we also have cross -files by venture and state. 208 00:14:02,220 --> 00:14:05,580 Miss Taylor ran Mr. Totten's returns through the computer, along with 209 00:14:05,580 --> 00:14:08,940 partnership reports and changes in the tax code. What she came up with was 210 00:14:08,940 --> 00:14:09,940 pretty interesting. 211 00:14:10,180 --> 00:14:13,960 In some cases, Mr. Totten actually failed to take losses he was entitled 212 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:20,600 And we also have chapter and verse on pension plans and financial statements 213 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,320 depositions by fiduciaries. 214 00:14:24,780 --> 00:14:31,720 And we're more interested in deductions and securities, especially the boat. 215 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,880 All documentation for business use of the Sea Witch dating back to 1982. 216 00:14:38,460 --> 00:14:42,960 The bottom shelf has the ship's logs and galley receipts. And our independent 217 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,920 consultant reviewed all of Mr. Totten's securities transactions and found no tax 218 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:48,920 liability whatsoever. 219 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,660 She signed off on each one. 220 00:14:51,820 --> 00:14:54,620 Individually? Mr. Markowitz thought that would be best. 221 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:55,960 All right. 222 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,360 If you can chart all this out. 223 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,940 I have a written summary signed off by the accountant. On my desk at 9 a .m., 224 00:15:02,940 --> 00:15:04,180 I'll call off the audit. 225 00:15:04,420 --> 00:15:07,500 You will? Three pages, single -spaced, including file references. 226 00:15:07,820 --> 00:15:08,820 It's a deal. 227 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,640 So, uh, 9 o 'clock, it'll be there. 228 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,080 I can hardly wait. 229 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,120 Thank you. 230 00:15:22,780 --> 00:15:23,780 Yes! 231 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:24,920 Oh! 232 00:15:25,980 --> 00:15:27,220 We've got a lot of work to do. 233 00:15:27,550 --> 00:15:29,290 Oh, I can stay as late as you need me. 234 00:15:29,750 --> 00:15:30,750 You're the best. 235 00:15:31,370 --> 00:15:35,070 Look, dinner's at me tonight. Now, we'll send out if we have to, but if we get 236 00:15:35,070 --> 00:15:37,790 far enough along, I know this really nice place. 237 00:15:38,730 --> 00:15:40,130 Because we just pull off a miracle. 238 00:15:40,990 --> 00:15:45,370 I smoked maybe three cigarettes total when I was a teenager. 239 00:15:45,690 --> 00:15:49,670 And when were you diagnosed with lung cancer, Mr. Shepard? Two years ago. 240 00:15:50,010 --> 00:15:52,830 And the doctors told me he was from years of breathing smoke, growing up in 241 00:15:52,830 --> 00:15:55,010 house where both parents smoked. That's just wrong. 242 00:15:55,310 --> 00:15:58,090 Excuse me, sir. You are not the witness here. 243 00:15:58,330 --> 00:16:00,110 Tomorrow, you will be the witness. 244 00:16:00,810 --> 00:16:04,130 That's when I'll be asking the questions. Don't threaten my client. I'm 245 00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:07,530 trying to shed some light here. He seems a bit confused. Come on, boys. Let's 246 00:16:07,530 --> 00:16:08,530 get on with it. 247 00:16:09,610 --> 00:16:11,170 The doctors made no... 248 00:16:11,970 --> 00:16:15,930 conclusive findings about your exact cause of cancer. Now, did they, sir? 249 00:16:15,930 --> 00:16:18,310 said they thought it had to be from... I'm not interested in what they thought. 250 00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:23,010 You interrupted again. Don't make me smack you. This is a deposition, Mr. 251 00:16:23,110 --> 00:16:24,450 Mullaney, not a rugby match. 252 00:16:24,690 --> 00:16:28,490 And any more comments from you and I will suspend this proceeding and move 253 00:16:28,490 --> 00:16:32,070 sanctions. You take up a judge's time with a stupid motion like that, he'll be 254 00:16:32,070 --> 00:16:33,070 glad I smacked you. 255 00:16:39,050 --> 00:16:45,420 Did the doctors confirm conclusively find that your lung cancer was caused by 256 00:16:45,420 --> 00:16:46,420 secondhand smoke. 257 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,540 That was their opinion. Their opinion. 258 00:16:50,020 --> 00:16:51,020 Thank you. 259 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,920 Okay, we're done. This proceeding is adjourned. 260 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,340 We'll see you all tomorrow. 261 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,820 Just a little more up here and we're in business. 262 00:17:03,260 --> 00:17:04,339 I'm going to use my free turn. 263 00:17:04,540 --> 00:17:07,000 Another letter, I could have solved it. Tough break. 264 00:17:08,620 --> 00:17:09,620 Okay, you're all set. 265 00:17:09,859 --> 00:17:12,140 These have to be a size smaller, cutting off my circulation. 266 00:17:16,339 --> 00:17:17,720 Hi. Hi. 267 00:17:17,980 --> 00:17:21,400 You know, I've been a big admirer of yours for some time now. 268 00:17:21,829 --> 00:17:23,490 Please, there is no conversation with Miss White. 269 00:17:23,690 --> 00:17:24,690 Okay, no conversation. 270 00:17:24,810 --> 00:17:27,710 I'm just going to take my shot. I'm not in the industry. I'm just a boring 271 00:17:27,710 --> 00:17:31,190 corporate attorney who leads a very dull life. But I happen to have 8 o 'clock 272 00:17:31,190 --> 00:17:34,390 reservations at La Dome tomorrow night. Will I be eating alone? 273 00:17:34,830 --> 00:17:35,830 Yes, you will. 274 00:17:36,430 --> 00:17:39,730 Regulations. We're not allowed to have any contact with contestants during the 275 00:17:39,730 --> 00:17:42,950 game. I see. So if it wasn't against federal law, you might consider it. 276 00:17:43,170 --> 00:17:44,170 Cute. 277 00:17:46,470 --> 00:17:49,070 Cute. This woman was your patient, Doctor. 278 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,240 I did everything I could to help Barbara Rosen. 279 00:17:52,820 --> 00:17:53,820 I really did. 280 00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:59,620 Besides treating her physical injuries, what did you do? I listened to her. I 281 00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:02,140 urged her to get marriage counseling or go into therapy. 282 00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:06,180 I even tried talking to Peter, but he wouldn't admit that he had a problem. 283 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,620 What about Mrs. Rosen? Did she respond to your suggestions? 284 00:18:09,980 --> 00:18:12,340 No. No, she begged me not to tell anyone. 285 00:18:12,980 --> 00:18:16,760 She was so sure that Peter was going to change. I tried to tell her that he 286 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,310 wouldn't. Did you try more than once? Every time she came in with an injury. 287 00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:22,830 But talking about it only made her feel worse. 288 00:18:23,050 --> 00:18:26,870 She was scared that people were going to find out that Peter was going to 289 00:18:26,870 --> 00:18:28,890 divorce her and take away her children. 290 00:18:29,230 --> 00:18:33,850 Dr. Harbaugh, do you feel you fulfilled your professional obligations to Barbara 291 00:18:33,850 --> 00:18:39,210 Rosen? Yes. I diagnosed her, and I strongly recommended a course of 292 00:18:39,390 --> 00:18:41,210 But there was nothing more that I could do. 293 00:18:41,470 --> 00:18:42,470 Thank you, Doctor. 294 00:18:45,050 --> 00:18:46,150 Dr. Harbaugh. 295 00:18:47,110 --> 00:18:50,550 Why was it that you didn't report to the authorities that Barbara Rosen was 296 00:18:50,550 --> 00:18:53,590 being abused by her husband? She made it clear that she didn't want me to. Well, 297 00:18:53,610 --> 00:18:56,810 sir, what if you were treating a child that you suspected of being abused? 298 00:18:56,930 --> 00:18:58,390 Barbara Rosen wasn't a child. 299 00:18:58,730 --> 00:19:03,450 And, Doctor, aren't you required by California law to report any case 300 00:19:03,450 --> 00:19:06,610 injuries that you reasonably believe were inflicted by a criminal act? 301 00:19:06,870 --> 00:19:10,510 Yes. Well, I'm going to refer to your own medical notes here, sir. 302 00:19:11,530 --> 00:19:13,510 July 20th, 1989. 303 00:19:13,930 --> 00:19:15,830 Quote, the patient suffered... 304 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,580 Severe lacerations as well as a concussion appears to have been struck 305 00:19:20,580 --> 00:19:23,020 blunt instrument. You didn't consider that to be a criminal act? 306 00:19:23,220 --> 00:19:25,160 I had no proof that she was struck by anybody. 307 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,940 Well, why didn't you tell the police? The police aren't going to act on a 308 00:19:27,940 --> 00:19:31,480 doctor's suspicion. Sir, why didn't you at least report it to them and give them 309 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,179 a chance? 310 00:19:32,180 --> 00:19:34,680 Because all that would have happened was Barbara would have sued me for 311 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:39,900 breaching confidentiality. Oh, so that's why you decided to stay quiet. Fear of 312 00:19:39,900 --> 00:19:41,460 being sued is... That's one reason. 313 00:19:41,870 --> 00:19:46,890 The other reason is that I am also required by law to uphold the 314 00:19:46,890 --> 00:19:49,670 of my patient. And my patient asked me to stay quiet. 315 00:19:49,930 --> 00:19:53,790 But your patient wasn't in control here, Doctor. She was being terrorized by her 316 00:19:53,790 --> 00:19:57,350 husband. Obviously, her judgment... That's a psychiatric observation, 317 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,580 I'm not a psychiatrist. Come on, Doctor. You knew what she was headed for. Hey, 318 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,360 I warn my alcoholic patients to stop drinking. 319 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,900 Most don't. I urge battered wives to leave their husbands. 320 00:20:07,380 --> 00:20:12,320 Most don't. One more time, I'm going to go back to your own records here because 321 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,420 Mrs. Rosen's injuries were progressively getting worse. They weren't just black 322 00:20:16,420 --> 00:20:17,580 eyes and broken ribs. 323 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,640 You had two concussions here. 324 00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:21,199 A broken nose? 325 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,740 Yes, but... But what, doctor? What were you waiting for? This is badgering. How 326 00:20:24,740 --> 00:20:27,800 badly would Peter Rosen have had to hurt your patient before you would have done 327 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,980 something to help her? What, a broken neck? Fractured skull? Your Honor! How 328 00:20:30,980 --> 00:20:33,760 much does it take before you decide to get involved, doctor? 329 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,260 So there I am with the love of my college life. 330 00:20:49,890 --> 00:20:53,750 crazy about this girl, right? And we go to this very fancy restaurant, which I 331 00:20:53,750 --> 00:20:54,629 can't afford. 332 00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:58,250 Now, this place is very romantic, and it's got candles on the table and 333 00:20:58,250 --> 00:21:00,790 everything, and it's got these huge menus. So I'm reading the menu, and I 334 00:21:00,790 --> 00:21:03,630 realize that the menu is perched right over the candle. Oh, no, you didn't. Oh, 335 00:21:03,690 --> 00:21:07,310 I did. So all of a sudden, I hear this scream, and I look up, and my menu is 336 00:21:07,310 --> 00:21:08,510 burning. You know, it's like in flames. 337 00:21:08,770 --> 00:21:11,670 The maitre d' is running around the waiter, comes over the table, grabs the 338 00:21:11,670 --> 00:21:15,330 water, and he throws it, not on the flames, not on the menu, right on my 339 00:21:15,330 --> 00:21:16,330 girlfriend. No! 340 00:21:17,410 --> 00:21:18,410 I'll see you. 341 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,380 She dried out eventually, but the relationship was never the same. 342 00:21:24,340 --> 00:21:26,880 Thanks for dinner, Stuart. I had a wonderful time. 343 00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:31,000 Thanks for your help. I couldn't have done it without you. Yes, you could. No, 344 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,740 couldn't. You're one hell of a support staff. 345 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,000 And you are one hell of a lawyer. 346 00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:41,620 Stuart, we can't do this. 347 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:43,680 We can? 348 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,000 No. 349 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,620 Yeah, right. We can't. I'm sorry. 350 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,100 I acted just like Arnie Becker, didn't I? 351 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,480 You could never be like Arnie Becker. 352 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,260 You're a decent, mature man. 353 00:21:56,940 --> 00:22:00,480 And if you weren't married, maybe things would be different. But you are, and I 354 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,760 work for you. And I don't want that to change. 355 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,480 Neither do I. 356 00:22:05,140 --> 00:22:06,740 Look, this was all my fault. 357 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,400 You don't have to worry about your job. 358 00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:09,660 I'm not. 359 00:22:11,380 --> 00:22:12,500 I'd better get back to it, huh? 360 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,180 Yeah, I just have to print out the final draft. I'll clean up tomorrow. 361 00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:17,500 No rush, no rush. 362 00:22:17,910 --> 00:22:19,610 So, did you ever go back to the Chez Pierre? 363 00:22:19,970 --> 00:22:23,030 Oh, yeah. Yeah, one time years later, there was a laundromat, and the 364 00:22:23,030 --> 00:22:25,070 burned down, but I had nothing to do with it. I didn't. 365 00:22:35,530 --> 00:22:36,530 Let's go home and do it. 366 00:23:03,679 --> 00:23:09,340 So, in your opinion, Dr. Cahill, the defendant should have intervened. Of 367 00:23:09,340 --> 00:23:13,240 course, simply treating a patient's injuries is not enough. If a doctor is 368 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,880 of the underlying disease of abuse, he has to do everything he can to cure it. 369 00:23:17,980 --> 00:23:21,400 Even if a patient like Barbara Rosen denies that the abuse is occurring? 370 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,620 Especially then. Denial by the victim is a symptom. It's part of being 371 00:23:25,620 --> 00:23:30,060 terrorized by the batterer. The only cure for it is to bring the truth out in 372 00:23:30,060 --> 00:23:30,619 the open. 373 00:23:30,620 --> 00:23:32,180 You know, Doctor, this is... 374 00:23:33,290 --> 00:23:37,170 It's a husband and wife thing, right? I mean, if she chooses not to... According 375 00:23:37,170 --> 00:23:43,110 to the FBI, 34 % of all female homicide victims over the age of 15 have been 376 00:23:43,110 --> 00:23:45,330 murdered by their husbands or by an intimate partner. 377 00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:50,250 This man didn't need to rely on statistics. He knew the husband was the 378 00:23:50,690 --> 00:23:53,790 His continued silence was gross malpractice. 379 00:23:54,010 --> 00:23:55,190 Those are strong words, Doctor. 380 00:23:55,390 --> 00:23:57,250 Sometimes strong words can save a life. 381 00:23:57,710 --> 00:23:59,030 Objection. Sustained. 382 00:23:59,410 --> 00:24:00,710 I have nothing further. 383 00:24:02,090 --> 00:24:05,950 You're asking my client to play social worker. I'm asking that he take care of 384 00:24:05,950 --> 00:24:09,670 his patient. She was suffering from a disease called domestic violence and he 385 00:24:09,670 --> 00:24:12,270 failed to treat it. So we should abolish doctor -patient privilege. 386 00:24:12,590 --> 00:24:16,510 These cases are unique. You're advocating right now the abolition of 387 00:24:16,510 --> 00:24:17,790 -patient privilege, yes or no? 388 00:24:18,030 --> 00:24:20,090 Yes. And this should be at the doctor's discretion. 389 00:24:20,290 --> 00:24:25,370 At his whim, he should be able to disregard the confidentiality of a 390 00:24:25,570 --> 00:24:27,530 It's better than letting her be beaten to death. 391 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,020 Have you ever reported the abuse of a patient, doctor? 392 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,199 Yes, twice. 393 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,260 Did the police do anything? 394 00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:38,540 No, but that doesn't mean... Yes, and it's very possible that nothing would 395 00:24:38,540 --> 00:24:43,380 happened in Barbara Rosen's case had my client reported this, isn't it? He still 396 00:24:43,380 --> 00:24:44,379 should have tried. 397 00:24:44,380 --> 00:24:46,280 He should have betrayed his patients. 398 00:24:46,990 --> 00:24:50,650 Trust? Mrs. Rosen needed help. She was in a state of emotional paralysis. 399 00:24:50,670 --> 00:24:51,690 Emotional paralysis. 400 00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:54,610 That's a psychiatric opinion, doctor. Are you a psychiatrist? 401 00:24:54,970 --> 00:24:58,510 No, I'm not. Neither is Dr. Harbaugh. Are you suggesting... I'm saying he 402 00:24:58,510 --> 00:24:59,590 have used common sense. 403 00:24:59,850 --> 00:25:04,690 And once again, by common sense, you mean that the doctor should have 404 00:25:04,690 --> 00:25:09,210 the clear, expressed intent of one of his competent adult patients. 405 00:25:09,450 --> 00:25:11,050 True or false? 406 00:25:12,270 --> 00:25:13,850 True, but life... Thanks, doctor. 407 00:25:14,070 --> 00:25:15,070 I got it. 408 00:25:16,170 --> 00:25:17,170 Nothing further. 409 00:25:28,610 --> 00:25:30,050 Leland just told me about Totten. 410 00:25:30,410 --> 00:25:31,870 Congratulations. Thanks. 411 00:25:34,110 --> 00:25:35,110 What's wrong? 412 00:25:35,790 --> 00:25:37,050 You go out with the guys much? 413 00:25:38,470 --> 00:25:39,770 I don't know. Sometimes. 414 00:25:40,230 --> 00:25:42,630 I mean, you have a lot of friends? 415 00:25:44,210 --> 00:25:45,210 Well... 416 00:25:45,420 --> 00:25:47,320 A few close ones, I guess. 417 00:25:47,540 --> 00:25:48,540 I don't. 418 00:25:49,820 --> 00:25:52,360 I have my work, and I have Anne, and I have Matthew. 419 00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:55,120 And that's it. 420 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,980 What the hell are you talking about, Stuart? 421 00:25:59,020 --> 00:26:00,200 I kissed another woman. 422 00:26:03,060 --> 00:26:04,500 I wanted to do it, and I did it. 423 00:26:05,180 --> 00:26:06,740 And she didn't kiss me. I kissed her. 424 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,100 I don't know who I am anymore, Mike. 425 00:26:11,580 --> 00:26:13,020 I'm not a good husband. 426 00:26:14,220 --> 00:26:15,420 And I don't feel like a good lawyer. 427 00:26:15,900 --> 00:26:19,020 You're a great lawyer, Stuart. Hell, you just beat the IRS. 428 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,660 You have a wife and a son who love you. 429 00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:30,640 So you had a heart attack. 430 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,560 You're human. 431 00:26:35,220 --> 00:26:37,100 I have no sense of myself anymore, Mike. 432 00:26:38,060 --> 00:26:41,600 I... Nothing feels like... 433 00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:45,760 Like me, you know. 434 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,360 Do you talk to Ann about it? 435 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,460 We try to talk, but we don't. 436 00:26:50,940 --> 00:26:52,280 We can't even argue anymore. 437 00:26:53,460 --> 00:26:56,660 I wasn't running to another woman. I was running away from Ann. 438 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:58,520 You still love her? 439 00:27:00,260 --> 00:27:01,980 I do. 440 00:27:03,740 --> 00:27:04,740 Then try again. 441 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,040 I don't think I can. 442 00:27:15,900 --> 00:27:16,900 Yes? 443 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,560 Uh, hello, Douglas. It's your good friend Arnie here. 444 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,480 What are you doing at my secretary's station? 445 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,080 Oh, well, I just happened to be nearby when I saw a Miss Vanna White 446 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:27,080 approaching. 447 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:28,980 She doesn't have an appointment. 448 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:30,280 Shall I send her away? 449 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,760 Very funny. Why don't the two of you go off and have a vow movement together? 450 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,060 Now, that's a pretty nasty thing to say, don't you think? 451 00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:41,500 You told me that she lost yesterday. Looks to me like you won pretty big. 452 00:27:42,380 --> 00:27:43,800 Could I have a minute with him alone? 453 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,240 Oh, sure, and I'll tell you what, if the cat doesn't give him back his tongue, 454 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,660 my office is just two doors down. 455 00:27:51,020 --> 00:27:52,020 Great. 456 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,660 Why are you here? 457 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,180 I'm sorry, but I just thought that since you're off the show now, it wouldn't be 458 00:28:02,180 --> 00:28:03,580 illegal for you and me to be friends. 459 00:28:04,620 --> 00:28:08,460 Now I know it's a joke. All right, Arnie, you can come in. 460 00:28:08,980 --> 00:28:11,120 It's no joke. You seem very nice. 461 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,260 And when I told you about the FCC regulations, you seemed to receive it as 462 00:28:15,260 --> 00:28:16,340 polite form of rejection. 463 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,360 And I wanted you to know that wasn't the case. 464 00:28:20,060 --> 00:28:23,440 Would you... Would you like to have a date? 465 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,260 Well, how about a simple lunch? 466 00:28:26,820 --> 00:28:31,520 No cash prizes, no assortment of sumptuous gifts, just a hamburger by the 467 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,780 I'd love it. Tomorrow, one o 'clock? 468 00:28:33,980 --> 00:28:36,220 Perfect. We'll talk in the morning and make a plan. 469 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:37,720 See ya. 470 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:40,160 Bye. 471 00:28:42,540 --> 00:28:44,160 Get snide if you want, counsel. 472 00:28:44,500 --> 00:28:47,320 But secondary smoke does not cause lung cancer. 473 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,520 You are aware that the United States Surgeon General's office says that it 474 00:28:51,940 --> 00:28:52,659 They're wrong. 475 00:28:52,660 --> 00:28:58,540 And would the New England Journal of Medicine also be wrong when it says that 476 00:28:58,540 --> 00:29:03,760 secondhand smoke causes almost 7 ,000 deaths annually in this country alone? 477 00:29:04,060 --> 00:29:06,080 We don't agree with their data. But you are aware. 478 00:29:06,490 --> 00:29:10,830 of their data, aren't you, Mr. McGeary? Yes, we are. And are you also aware of 479 00:29:10,830 --> 00:29:15,170 the recent medical reports which say that the risk of lung cancer is nearly 480 00:29:15,170 --> 00:29:19,250 double for all people exposed to secondhand smoke during early childhood? 481 00:29:19,550 --> 00:29:20,810 It has been brought to our attention. 482 00:29:21,150 --> 00:29:25,250 Well, with all this information in your possession, are you doing anything to 483 00:29:25,250 --> 00:29:26,470 warn the nonsmoker? 484 00:29:26,730 --> 00:29:29,990 We have put warnings on all of our packaging. Which warn the smoker? 485 00:29:30,270 --> 00:29:34,530 What are you doing to warn the nonsmoker that they're at risk, too? 486 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,360 The law does not compel us to do so. What about human safety? 487 00:29:38,860 --> 00:29:40,220 You don't find that compelling? 488 00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:44,400 I need a moment. No, I'm not going off the record. Please make note for the 489 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,080 record that attorneys Flaherty and Stadler are whispering in the respective 490 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,920 of the witness. Please further note my amazement at the witness's ability to 491 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,340 listen to two people simultaneously. I object to that. That was Mr. 492 00:29:56,580 --> 00:29:58,460 Stadler. Mr. Flaherty is still whispering. 493 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,460 Even if we are aware of the alleged dangers of secondhand smoke... 494 00:30:02,910 --> 00:30:05,950 We had no reason to be aware of those dangers at the time that Mr. 495 00:30:06,150 --> 00:30:10,450 Shepard was exposed to his parents smoking. What a lovely answer. 496 00:30:11,030 --> 00:30:12,030 Was that Mr. 497 00:30:12,150 --> 00:30:13,150 Flaherty's or Mr. 498 00:30:13,310 --> 00:30:14,410 Stadler's? This is abusive. 499 00:30:14,750 --> 00:30:15,910 I am sorry, Mr. 500 00:30:16,170 --> 00:30:20,150 McGeary, but your company certainly knew about the dangers of cigarette smoking 501 00:30:20,150 --> 00:30:22,850 30 years ago, didn't it? Prime air smoke, yes. 502 00:30:23,050 --> 00:30:26,330 Well, did you do any testing on the dangers of secondhand smoke? 503 00:30:26,910 --> 00:30:31,990 I don't believe we did. So maybe the reason that you didn't know about the 504 00:30:31,990 --> 00:30:34,890 was that you never did any tests, right? 505 00:30:35,350 --> 00:30:38,650 Any particular ear you want that answer whispered into? 506 00:30:38,890 --> 00:30:42,730 We can't test for everything, for God's sake. Well, you test for taste, and you 507 00:30:42,730 --> 00:30:47,250 test for the color of the packaging, and you test the commercials to see which 508 00:30:47,250 --> 00:30:51,590 are most effective, but you can't test to see who your smoke kills. 509 00:30:51,970 --> 00:30:53,750 None of the others did. Why should we? 510 00:30:53,970 --> 00:30:55,110 Why should we? 511 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,340 I'm going to recommend we terminate this deposition. This deposition is over. 512 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:00,400 Michael? 513 00:31:01,740 --> 00:31:03,920 It's a very silly thing to say. 514 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,540 I'd like you to know something. 515 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,140 Nothing ever happened between Stuart and me. We have a professional 516 00:31:21,140 --> 00:31:22,480 relationship, and that's all. 517 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,020 Do you feel better now? 518 00:31:35,220 --> 00:31:36,260 Last call? 519 00:31:36,820 --> 00:31:40,580 Oh, no, thank you.

I keep telling her, uh, twenty -five something. 529 00:32:07,060 --> 00:32:12,080 Yeah. Then I keep thinking to myself, if we settle this thing quietly, what 530 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:13,780 about all those other defenseless women? 531 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:15,760 Who's gonna help them? 532 00:32:16,780 --> 00:32:19,780 It doesn't just happen to defenseless women, Victor. 533 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,300 It can't happen to anybody. 534 00:32:24,550 --> 00:32:25,550 You? 535 00:32:26,830 --> 00:32:30,510 In my second year of law school, I was seeing a professor. 536 00:32:32,130 --> 00:32:37,210 I was too young to realize that he got off on controlling women. 537 00:32:38,570 --> 00:32:41,590 When I started to resist, he hit me. 538 00:32:42,090 --> 00:32:46,030 And then he would tell me how stupid I was and that I would never be able to 539 00:32:46,030 --> 00:32:48,750 practice law and that I was completely worthless. 540 00:32:50,670 --> 00:32:52,330 For a while, I believed him. 541 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:54,800 Finally, I left. 542 00:32:55,780 --> 00:32:59,140 But I will never forget the way he made me feel. 543 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:01,680 Did you tell anybody? 544 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,040 No. 545 00:33:03,900 --> 00:33:07,000 I was afraid of what it said about me. 546 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,020 Of the look I am getting from you right now. 547 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:12,960 Grace, 548 00:33:14,660 --> 00:33:17,800 it doesn't say anything about you. He was the sick one, not you. 549 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,480 But it does change the way you think about me. 550 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:22,840 Doesn't it? 551 00:33:23,310 --> 00:33:26,710 You didn't before, but now you see me as a victim. 552 00:33:28,030 --> 00:33:29,030 Just a little. 553 00:33:38,030 --> 00:33:41,850 Domestic violence is the single most common cause of injury to women in this 554 00:33:41,850 --> 00:33:45,810 country today. More common than car accidents, muggings, and rape combined. 555 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:51,980 As many as 35 % of women who visit emergency rooms are treated for ongoing 556 00:33:51,980 --> 00:33:53,200 physical abuse. 557 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,760 One -third of all pregnant women are physically abused. 558 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:04,180 Regardless of race, educational background, class, in America, every 18 559 00:34:04,180 --> 00:34:05,440 a woman is battered. 560 00:34:05,860 --> 00:34:09,960 And every year, 1 ,500 women are battered to death. 561 00:34:10,500 --> 00:34:13,560 Well, look around you, ladies and gentlemen. Really. 562 00:34:14,670 --> 00:34:17,850 Because chances are that the woman sitting next to you or the one sitting 563 00:34:17,850 --> 00:34:21,270 to her has at some time in their lives been physically abused. 564 00:34:21,929 --> 00:34:23,290 But you would never know it. 565 00:34:25,929 --> 00:34:32,889 Partly because the police and doctors like Dr. Harbaugh don't 566 00:34:32,889 --> 00:34:33,889 really want to get involved. 567 00:34:34,070 --> 00:34:35,690 They stay silent. 568 00:34:36,010 --> 00:34:40,530 And they make it possible for battered women to continue to be abused and 569 00:34:40,530 --> 00:34:41,530 sometimes murdered. 570 00:34:41,929 --> 00:34:43,810 Now his lawyer talks about... 571 00:34:44,139 --> 00:34:46,560 respecting the wishes of his patient. 572 00:34:48,100 --> 00:34:53,659 This doctor knew his patient was incapable of helping herself. Here he 573 00:34:53,659 --> 00:34:58,840 it. He also ignored his duty under California law that requires him to 574 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,820 physical violence. He disregarded his patient, he disregarded the law, and as 575 00:35:02,820 --> 00:35:04,860 result, Barbara Rosen is dead. 576 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,160 All that is necessary... 577 00:35:10,860 --> 00:35:14,140 For evil to triumph is that good men do nothing. 578 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,260 Stephen Harbaugh did nothing, ladies and gentlemen. Right now, he's hoping 579 00:35:19,260 --> 00:35:20,260 you'll do the same. 580 00:35:20,620 --> 00:35:21,620 Thank you. 581 00:35:27,020 --> 00:35:31,420 If we start forcing doctors to be whistleblowers, you know what happens? 582 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:37,980 You eliminate doctor -patient privilege and battered wives and any other people 583 00:35:37,980 --> 00:35:40,140 that have secrets that they don't want to be discovered. 584 00:35:40,730 --> 00:35:44,530 will stay away from doctors. People who need medical attention won't get it 585 00:35:44,530 --> 00:35:47,170 because they'll be too afraid to come forward. 586 00:35:47,710 --> 00:35:53,170 Suddenly, going to your doctor will become tantamount to going to the 587 00:35:54,050 --> 00:35:55,050 My God. 588 00:35:56,510 --> 00:35:59,090 Wouldn't George Orwell be happy about that? 589 00:35:59,510 --> 00:36:03,930 Competent adults suddenly robbed of their right to privacy. You and I 590 00:36:03,930 --> 00:36:08,430 forced to forfeit confidentiality with our own physicians. 591 00:36:10,670 --> 00:36:15,410 You cannot want that. Of course, battering is a horrible crime. 592 00:36:15,650 --> 00:36:20,010 And there's nobody here that shouldn't grieve for Barbara Rothen. Stephen 593 00:36:20,010 --> 00:36:25,790 Harbaugh grieves for her. He recommended that she seek psychiatric treatment. He 594 00:36:25,790 --> 00:36:30,590 pleaded with her to leave her husband. He did everything he could, except 595 00:36:30,590 --> 00:36:35,470 abandon the trust that Barbara Rothen had placed with him. 596 00:36:36,030 --> 00:36:38,610 Stephen Harbaugh is not responsible. 597 00:36:39,470 --> 00:36:40,790 For Barbara Rosen's death. 598 00:36:41,650 --> 00:36:42,710 And you know that. 599 00:36:46,590 --> 00:36:53,310 All right, 600 ,000 sealed. You don't even 600 00:36:53,310 --> 00:36:56,790 whisper it to each other. I told you a million five. Would you think I was 601 00:36:56,790 --> 00:36:58,750 kidding? No, just insane. 602 00:36:59,010 --> 00:37:04,710 Michael? The man never smoked a cigarette in his life. He is dying of 603 00:37:04,710 --> 00:37:06,510 cancer. Still difficult to prove in court. 604 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,560 Getting less difficult with every new study that comes out. Okay, let's stop 605 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,560 this silly nonsense, shall we? You cannot risk this case. 606 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:18,540 There is no contributory negligence defense against a non -smoker. No 607 00:37:18,540 --> 00:37:19,379 of risk. 608 00:37:19,380 --> 00:37:23,440 Not to mention the fact that my mother died from your little cancer stick 609 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,260 corporate piece of filth, and I'll make it my life mission to get even. I won't 610 00:37:27,260 --> 00:37:29,640 stay for this. This cowboy tactic won't fly. 611 00:37:29,980 --> 00:37:33,940 Oh, they will fly with the jury, Mr. Flaherty. And you know why? Because I'm 612 00:37:33,940 --> 00:37:36,950 going to point at a man who's dying of cancer who... whose lungs are corroded 613 00:37:36,950 --> 00:37:40,410 away, a man who will be dead within a year, and then I'm going to point at 614 00:37:40,570 --> 00:37:45,110 CEO of the company that gave him cancer, a company that knew that smoke was 615 00:37:45,110 --> 00:37:49,230 poison, and by your own admission in the deposition yesterday, a company that 616 00:37:49,230 --> 00:37:52,970 didn't even bother to check the dangers of secondhand smoke. And why? 617 00:37:53,570 --> 00:37:58,890 Because instead of netting $62 million a year in profit, you wanted to net 63. 618 00:38:00,710 --> 00:38:01,710 No. 619 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,520 I don't think you'll want to sit yourself in front of a jury, Mr. 620 00:38:05,740 --> 00:38:07,520 McGeary. I really don't. 621 00:38:08,420 --> 00:38:09,399 One -five. 622 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:10,400 Totally sealed. 623 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:11,960 No admission of liability. 624 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,220 We draft a settlement to say whatever we want. Check by end of business today. 625 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:17,760 Let's go. 626 00:38:25,340 --> 00:38:27,480 Mother of Mary and Joseph. 627 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,120 Hi. 628 00:38:31,820 --> 00:38:32,820 Got some time? 629 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,860 Actually, I don't. I let everything slide during Totten. 630 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:38,800 Maybe I should make an appointment. 631 00:38:40,140 --> 00:38:41,140 Come on, Anne. 632 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,520 Stuart, every time I walk into a room, you walk out of it. 633 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,800 You're always asleep when I come to bed, or pretending to be. 634 00:38:50,620 --> 00:38:54,420 We haven't had a meal together in two weeks. It's like you can't stand the 635 00:38:54,420 --> 00:38:55,420 of me. 636 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:57,560 I'm sorry. 637 00:38:58,140 --> 00:38:59,140 What's going on? 638 00:39:02,670 --> 00:39:03,670 I have to leave for a while. 639 00:39:05,910 --> 00:39:06,910 Leave? 640 00:39:07,450 --> 00:39:08,450 I have to move out. 641 00:39:11,510 --> 00:39:17,050 I know we have some problems, dear, but we can work them out. Isn't sex, Anne? I 642 00:39:17,050 --> 00:39:18,050 wish it was. 643 00:39:18,770 --> 00:39:19,790 That we could talk about. 644 00:39:21,230 --> 00:39:25,070 Is it Gwen? Are you having an affair with her? No, anything like that. Then I 645 00:39:25,070 --> 00:39:26,070 don't understand. 646 00:39:26,630 --> 00:39:27,630 It's everything, Anne. 647 00:39:28,350 --> 00:39:29,770 You're watching me all the time. 648 00:39:30,450 --> 00:39:31,690 I can't... 649 00:39:32,010 --> 00:39:35,610 Work too long, I can't eat anything I like. I can't make love to you. 650 00:39:36,210 --> 00:39:37,470 It's like I'm already dead. 651 00:39:38,110 --> 00:39:39,170 I love you, Stuart. 652 00:39:40,530 --> 00:39:43,290 I don't mean to make you feel that way. I won't do it anymore. 653 00:39:43,830 --> 00:39:45,990 I love you, too. It isn't about that. 654 00:39:47,270 --> 00:39:49,230 Well, then what is it about? 655 00:39:49,710 --> 00:39:54,250 I don't know. I don't think I can get myself back if I'm with you. 656 00:39:59,290 --> 00:40:00,290 Fifteen years? 657 00:40:00,590 --> 00:40:03,410 I think this is the first leisurely lunch I've ever had. 658 00:40:03,650 --> 00:40:06,790 Then I guess I should feel flattered. I'm the flattered one, believe me. 659 00:40:07,130 --> 00:40:12,410 I keep thinking to myself, a woman as, well, desirable as you? 660 00:40:12,710 --> 00:40:17,590 Why me? I mean, I know this is just a simple lunch, but why me? 661 00:40:17,890 --> 00:40:21,770 Truth is, what you said the other day is totally true. I don't have many 662 00:40:21,770 --> 00:40:24,790 opportunities to meet corporate bores outside the industry. 663 00:40:25,150 --> 00:40:29,250 Uh -huh. I also thought, as boring corporate types go, you're kind of 664 00:40:29,250 --> 00:40:32,520 interesting. You didn't mind getting hit on like that? 665 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:33,760 It's repulsive. 666 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,340 But you were so inept at it, I knew it wasn't something you did very often. 667 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,060 You certainly are honest, I'll say that. 668 00:40:40,460 --> 00:40:42,740 Listen, I've had a great time. 669 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:44,720 I'd like to do it again. 670 00:40:44,980 --> 00:40:45,980 You would? 671 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:47,280 I would. 672 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:48,640 I'll call you. 673 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:49,780 I'll look forward to that. 674 00:41:03,370 --> 00:41:05,670 Mr. Foreman, has the jury reached its verdict? 675 00:41:07,170 --> 00:41:08,530 No, Your Honor, we haven't. 676 00:41:09,050 --> 00:41:11,270 I beg your pardon? We're hung. We can't agree. 677 00:41:11,530 --> 00:41:13,850 Well, let's get back in there and deliberate until you do agree. 678 00:41:14,090 --> 00:41:18,190 Your Honor, the vote is fix to fix, and there's no inclination by anybody to 679 00:41:18,190 --> 00:41:20,830 change their minds here. We've already had a near fistfight. 680 00:41:21,350 --> 00:41:26,490 While I know you don't know me from Adam, trust me when I tell you that this 681 00:41:26,490 --> 00:41:28,010 jury's never going to reach a verdict. 682 00:41:31,020 --> 00:41:34,740 This proceeding is declared a mistrial. Members of the jury, thank you for your 683 00:41:34,740 --> 00:41:39,760 efforts. Parties can refile for a second trial, but I seriously suggest that you 684 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:40,459 get together. 685 00:41:40,460 --> 00:41:41,460 We're adjourned. 686 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:49,840 Okay. 687 00:41:55,820 --> 00:41:57,240 We'll go to 50 ,000. 688 00:41:57,740 --> 00:41:58,538 No admission. 689 00:41:58,540 --> 00:42:00,620 $50 ,000 for my sister's life. 690 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:01,880 That's an insult. 691 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,580 You're looking at another trial, Mrs. Klein. 692 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,640 Your chances of winning aren't good, and it's going to cost you a lot of money. 693 00:42:08,820 --> 00:42:09,820 I don't care. 694 00:42:10,060 --> 00:42:11,160 We'll take it under consideration. 695 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,180 Victor. We should discuss it. 696 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,040 You know my number. 697 00:42:17,700 --> 00:42:19,620 Ellen, I want you to know how sorry I am. 698 00:42:20,340 --> 00:42:23,560 Barbara wasn't just my patient. She was my friend for ten years. 699 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,360 Then why didn't you help her, Stephen? 700 00:42:36,590 --> 00:42:37,590 I think we should settle. 701 00:42:38,110 --> 00:42:39,710 Keep quiet and walk away. 702 00:42:39,970 --> 00:42:44,310 The jury won't ever agree on this, Ellen. The law just doesn't provide for 703 00:42:44,310 --> 00:42:48,310 battered women. And until it does, we just can't nail guys like Harbaugh. 704 00:42:48,550 --> 00:42:50,730 It's not the law. It's the lawyers. 705 00:42:51,150 --> 00:42:55,210 If he goes to the police, the lawyers scream libel. If he tells anybody else, 706 00:42:55,230 --> 00:42:57,470 the lawyers scream breach of confidentiality. 707 00:42:57,980 --> 00:43:00,900 If he tries to counsel her, the lawyers scream negligence because he's 708 00:43:00,900 --> 00:43:02,700 practicing psychiatry without a license. 709 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:07,340 And then, when the lawyers got him so scared that he just closes his eyes and 710 00:43:07,340 --> 00:43:12,420 lets an innocent person get killed, along comes another lawyer to say that 711 00:43:12,420 --> 00:43:13,420 was right. 712 00:43:14,780 --> 00:43:15,780 Ellen. 713 00:43:23,020 --> 00:43:26,760 I'll take the settlement, Victor, but I won't shut up. 714 00:43:27,230 --> 00:43:28,790 I owe Barbara that much. 715 00:43:33,490 --> 00:43:37,810 Should have seen David's face. A million bucks, he lit up like the sun. 716 00:43:38,650 --> 00:43:40,670 Okay, this one's payable to you. 717 00:43:41,070 --> 00:43:42,890 This one goes to the firm. 718 00:43:43,450 --> 00:43:46,310 $83 ,000 each. It's a pretty good ending. 719 00:43:47,050 --> 00:43:48,290 What if it's not an ending? 720 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:49,578 Beg pardon? 721 00:43:49,580 --> 00:43:52,180 Tommy, you just made over $300 ,000. 722 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:57,100 Certainly enough to put your life back on track. But I bet between taxes, IOUs, 723 00:43:57,100 --> 00:44:00,960 and Lord knows what other debts you've piled up, you'd be lucky to net half. 724 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,520 Are we anywhere near a point here? My point is that you are one of the best 725 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,700 trial lawyers I have ever seen. You are also one of the biggest wastes of 726 00:44:08,700 --> 00:44:09,700 talent. 727 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,480 I have just spent the last half hour convincing Leland McKenzie that you 728 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:14,480 help this place. 729 00:44:15,420 --> 00:44:16,740 You've got to be kidding. 730 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,040 I am not kidding. 731 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,640 If you let me rescue you from yourself, as well as your administrative 732 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:27,140 ineptness, you could spend all your time doing what you do best, trying cases. 733 00:44:27,300 --> 00:44:28,600 You could actually make a living. 734 00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:32,880 Yeah, but I'm not the law firm type.
