Clarkson: Step. Step.

Good. Let's move. Move.

Come on, you're the lead
singer here, Rox. Alright?

Just try and be loose.

- No--
- Not yet. No, no.

I want you to feel
the song, Rox.

Really. Get down
and feel the music.

- I feel it.
- Step, step, step and step.

Hold the mike a
little more freely.

Come on, don't be afraid.

Um, let's-- let's
do the second verse.

Keep the balance.

That's fine. Good.

Don't forget to breathe.

Here we go. Two...

Three...

Sing.

[instrumental music]

Brackman: A few clean-up items
before we break. Stuart.

You've noted
a possible conflict

for Tuesday's meeting
with the Bose Brothers.

Yeah, uh, Ann and the baby
have a doctor's

appointment
and I would like to take them.

It'll just be the
early afternoon.

- How is the little guy, anyway?
- Oh, he's fantastic.

He's just...

He's fantastic.

Brackman: Lastly, I know
you've all said your "Hellos"

a dozen times already,
but let me issue

an official firm welcome
to Rosalind Shays,

on her first day at
McKenzie Brackman.

[clapping]

Thank you,
I'm officially honored

and excited about joining you.

Please forgive the
temporary low income

housing on associates row.

Your new office should be ready

within the next few weeks.

Rosalind:
That sounds really great.

Very lastly, Roxanne Melman

has requested a moment.

Hello.

Um, a-- as most of you know,

I've been taking singing lessons
for the last couple of months

at Stairway To Stardom
Recording Institute.

Um, well, in order to
get my graduation certificate,

well, each student has
to perform live

at a real nightclub in
front of real people.

Um, well, one other
student and myself are up

this Thursday night at
Backland's Place In The Sun.

Our teacher says
that it would be much easier

if we could get people
that we know

to be out in the audience
for us, so, um,

well, if any of you
are free, it...

Yeah, count me in.

Me, too.

Roxanne:
Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Oh, um, and Gloria and I, that's
the other person who's up.

We need to get a couple of extra
movement sessions in

because the teacher
says we're kind of stiff.

So, uh, we'd like to
practice in the file room

during my lunch hour with the
dance coach, if that's okay.

Oh, that's fine. That's good.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

[giggles]

[chuckling]

And on that, we're adjourned.

[telephone ringing]

- Have you seen his baby yet?
- Yeah.

- Did you see the pictures?
- Um, no... [indistinct]

Excuse me, I'm
a marine biologist,

and I heard there's a
shark living down here--

- Oh my God! Paula!
- [laughs] How are you?

Great. I don't believe this.

Uh, Abby, Abby
Perkins, Paula Lights.

This is my bestest
friend from law school.

Oh, yes. I'm the bestest. You
call me all the time, right?

- It's nice to meet you.
- I called you Christmas day.

Only 'cause I'm Jewish.

Excuse us, will you?

[laughs] Bye, Abby.

Alright, just-- just--
just stand there.

Let me see.

I can't believe
I'm looking at you.

What are you doing here in L.A.?

Will you shut up.

I'll ask the questions here,
Mister Suit and Tie.

You little corporate drone.

God, just-- just come here.
[laughs]

This is the best surprise ever.

Well, if you like surprises,
I'm loaded with them.

- Don't worry.
- So how are you, Paula?

How am I? Um...

Well, on the one hand, I feel
better than I've ever felt.

Rollins: Good.

And on the other hand...

- I'm dying.
- Yeah, aren't we all.

Paula: I'm serious, Jonathan.

Listen, there is no easy way
to spring this. [clears throat]

I have an inoperable
brain tumor.

I have a year to live, tops.

I was diagnosed a year ago,

and I went through radiation,
which shrunk it.

And now it's come back,

and it's coming back fast.

Oh, God.

Why didn't you tell me?

I haven't told anybody.

I'm sorry to lay this
on you now,

but to tell you the truth,
I could use your help.

Whatever you want. Tell me.

Have you heard of cryonics?

What do you mean,
freezing people?

Yeah, freezing people.

Paula: There's a cryogenic life
extension facility

here in California, and the
idea is that they can freeze

people with incurable diseases.

And a hundred years from now,
when technology

comes up with a cure, who knows?

Yeah?

Paula: I have a
motion scheduled tomorrow.

I need a court order
to get this done to me.

And I'd like you to do
the argument.

Paula, can't...

Can't you
just stipulate in your will?

Paula: You don't understand.

By the time this
thing runs its course,

the tumor will have completely
destroyed my brain.

I want to do it now.

Before the damage.

Rollins: Paula.

Paula,

- You're talking about--
- I'm talking about hope.

I was prepared
to argue the motion myself.

Then I suddenly thought
on the flight over here,

how seriously is a judge
gonna take somebody

who wants to get
stuck in a freezer. [chuckles]

So... I need an
objective lawyer.

But I want somebody
who knows me.

I don't-- I don't know
anything about cryonics.

Maybe...

Michael Kuzak is
our head litigator here.

He had a case a couple
years ago where this guy

wanted to be
freeze dried, maybe--

[laughs] That isn't this.

Being freeze dried is basically
being stuffed and mounted.

I'm talking about
profound hypothermia...

and the possibility
of being brought back.

To be living again.

You're asking me to
help you end your life.

I know that.

But if I commit suicide,

or if I die of
unnatural causes,

I go to the coroner's office.

And by the time the
autopsy is complete,

I'm not a suitable
candidate for cryonics.

I wanna do this
in their laboratory

under controlled conditions.

And to do that, they insist
that I get a court order.

And I need you
to help me get it.

[sighs]

[indistinct chatter]

- Sheldon.
- Arnie.

- Eric, I think we're ready.
- This way, please.

Arnie, you made
short work of this one.

It is a masterful settlement.

Thank you.

Have you ever thought
about what it means

to be able to do this stuff?

What stuff?
Thanks.

Navigate treacherous waters.

Generate large sums of money.

Have you ever thought
about what you do this for?

Like you, Sheldon,
I do it to make a living.

Might I suggest
that at some point

you ask yourself
what's in it for you?

- I do that every day.
- Good. Do it again.

This time do it in the
context of making a move.

- What are you talking about?
- I'm talking about you and me.

We both have got blue
chip matrimonial practices.

I've got a burgeoning
entertainment practice as well.

And you're suggesting
that we merge?

Right now.

Are you serious?

I've never been more
serious in my life.

Our combined portables have
got to be close to two mil.

It would be tough to
walk out on my partners.

Rosalind Shays did it.

She walked out of her
old firm, moved into yours,

bumped you even further back
in the pecking order

than you were before.

It's... a risky
venture, Sheldon.

I've got office space lined up.
My clients lined up.

I'm ready to go.

I need a partner.

Well, they wouldn't be happy

about my walking out
with clients.

They'll get over it.

They should want what's best
for you as well as for them.

Yeah.

- Rollins: Goodnight, Victor.
- Goodnight.

[telephone ringing]

Victor Sifuentes.

What?

It happened in her house.

Henrico something.
She doesn't know his last name.

- She knew him?
- He worked on her film crew.

Gave her a ride home. She
shooting a movie or something?

It's a commercial. Where is she?

This way. This way. Okay, look.

We got a guy in lock up.

I don't mean to push her,
but if she could

come down tomorrow and put the--

Not now, Les.

We're not sure we
got the right guy

if she really didn't know him.

And I don't like
kicking rapists.

Alright.

Announcer [over PA]:
Dr. Berkley, 1-4-2-8.

Dr. Kate Berkley, 1-4-2-8.

[knocks on door]

- Excuse me, sir, we're--
- I'm-- I'm with them.

Yeah.

You can go in and see her.

- Hey.
- Hi.

We're almost done.

Be sure to label all the slides

for the police lab.

You say you scratched him?

I-- I think I--

Doctor: Okay.

We're gonna take some scrapings

from under your fingernails.

For evidence. Alright?

Okay.

This won't hurt.

Detective Tuttle
will have to take

your clothes to the crime lab.

We can give you some scrubs.

- Is that necessary?
Doctor: I'm afraid it is.

Keep the clothes. [sniffles]

Doctor: Nurse, we'll need
the lab tech out here.

Why didn't you call me?

I tried to, but
you were in court.

Kind of a tough
message to leave.

Doctor: Can I have
your right hand, please?

Okay. There's some skin there.

Just about done, Allison.

There were no
tears or lacerations.

You're gonna be fine.

[indistinct chatter]

I don't care what they call it.

We're talking about
authorized suicide.

Keene: Obviously, the state
has to oppose this.

Your Honor, my client is dying.

Fifty, Seventy-five
years from now

we may have the
technology to cure her.

I have no problem with freezing
her after she dies,

if that's
what she wants to do.

But I have a big problem
with issuing a court order

that says it's okay
to kill her today.

She has a grade four astrocytoma

that will eat
away at her brain.

If we don't freeze her
before that happens,

there will be no Paula
Lights to bring back.

I understand, Mr. Rollins.

But you're still
asking me to kill her.

And euthanasia is illegal.

Rollins: Competent
people have the right

to refuse medical treatment.

Christian Scientists
can opt for prayer

over blood transfusions even
though conventional medicine--

This is not a
refusal of treatment.

This is an affirmative
step to end a life.

With the ultimate goal
being to save a life.

He's asking for court
ordered murder.

Judge Conover: Do you have
any scientific evidence

supporting this cryonics theory?

I can get an expert
on stand by this afternoon.

Good. Get him in here.

Your Honor, you
can't be serious.

Mr. Keene, this
entire matter is crazy.

But you're asking me to tell a
dying woman that she

has no right to exercise her
only remaining option.

I think I should at least
listen before saying no.

You get your experts
in here this afternoon.

- Yes, sir.
Judge Conover: We're adjourned.

- You wanted me?
- Yeah Rox, come on in.

Have a seat.

Listen...

you and I have always been
joined at the hip. Have we not?

In a manner of speaking.

Roxanne...

I am giving serious thought...

Serious thought...
to leaving Mackenzie Brackman.

What?

An opportunity has presented
itself where Sheldon Ganz

and I would have
a firm of our own.

- You'd leave here?
- And I want you to go too.

I'd be a name partner. Total
autonomy. Complete control.

How could you leave here?

Believe me, this
is not something

I would ever do casually.

This is practically our home.

These people are like family.

This is a place
of business, Roxanne,

understand it for what it is.

It's not like that to me.

What happened with the video?

When it was making
money, they all

came crawling
with their hands out.

When I got sued,
I had to fend for myself.

What happened when I asked them
to give you a raise?

Huh? They turned you down.

I had to give it to you
out of my own pocket.

What happened... Rox?

What happened after the
insider trading episode?

Douglas Brackman
wanted to fire you.

This office is not your home.

- This firm is not your family.
- Oh, God, Arnie.

This is the one week I don't
need something like this!

With my nightclub graduation,

you know how
nervous I am already.

I know, Rox. I'm sorry.

By nature I'm a
very loyal person.

Loyalty's a two way street.

The people around here
should want

what's best for you.

Is leaving here
what's best for me?

Breaking in on the ground
floor of a new venture?

Being an administrator
instead of a secretary?

Being with me? I'd say yes.

Those are all in
your best interest.

All you have to do is shake
hands and...

[claps] walk off whistling.

Okay, Arnie.

If it's what you want,

I'm with you.

Thank you.

[door opens]

[indistinct chatter]

Sure you want to do this?

Yeah.

Okay, Frank. Send them in.

[door closes]

Guard: Face front.

Number three.

Tuttle: Are you sure?

Take your time.

I said number three.

- Are you okay?
- Fine.

Ms. Gottlieb, if you don't mind,

I'd like to go over a
few details with you.

Look, Tuttle can't
this wait till later?

- It will be better now.
- That's fine.

- Let's just do it.
- Okay, come on, to my office.

Uh...

Could you wait outside?

Okay.

[buzzing]

Cop: Coming through.

[clanking]

Through there.

[clanks]

[door creaks open]

What you looking at, man? Huh?

[groans]

Cop: Let go!

Cop: Let him go!

[groaning]

Victor, this is crazy! Back off!

- Victor!
- Hey.

What the hell's going on here?
What the hell's going on?

This guy went crazy,
that's what.

Help me cuff him.

- Let him go.
- He tried to kill the guy.

Perp started it.
I saw the whole thing.

Let Mr. Sifuentes go.

[pants]

I'm not saying we'll definitely
be thawing dead people out

and returning them to life.

I am saying that it's possible.

How can it be possible?

The development
of nano-molecular technology

may allow us to cure diseases
which are not curable today,

including the type of tumor
that is killing Paula Lights.

Doctor, the question
I keep asking

is how conceivable is it

that this technology
will ever exist?

Quite conceivable.

Now, don't get me wrong,

we are a long way off,
and we may never get there.

But genetic engineers are making
new discoveries every day.

And if they can figure out a way
to repair the individual cells

which comprise the human body,

then we may
be able to freeze people

and we may be able
to bring them back to life.

Rollins: Thank you, sir.
Nothing further.

Dr. Simon.

You are one of the
residing scientists

at the life-extension
facility where

Ms. Lights wants
to be frozen, is that correct?

Dr. Simon: That is correct.

And this institution has,

therefore, a financial interest

in this woman being popsicled,
is that right?

Dr. Simon: My testimony has
not been compromised

by any financial interest.

And just what does your facility
charge for this cryonics thing?

Full suspension
would run a little more

than a hundred thousand dollars.

Neuro-preservation
costs about thirty-five.

Neuro-preservation? What's that?

That's a procedure where
we simply maintain the head.

The rest of the
body is discarded.

Wait a second.

You lop off the head, and
you what? You dump the body?

We surgically remove the head.

Keene: What happens to this head

when you thaw it
out in fifty years?

Some people do not want
their bodies preserved.

And the rationale
behind neuro-preservation

is that when the cellular
technique has been perfected,

we will be able to
attach the heads to new

and to different bodies.

Uh-huh.

So, when this cell technology
is perfected, doctor,

we could attach this head to the
body of a horse, couldn't we?

Dr. Simon: We're
not into cross-species

experimentation, Mr. Keene.

But scientifically,
I suppose it might be possible.

Your Honor, this is
an insult to the court.

Freezing people,
chopping off heads.

- Objection. Argumentative.
- Sustained.

You tried freezing hamsters.

- Didn't you, doctor?
Dr. Simon: Yes.

And could you describe
for the court the condition

of those hamsters
when you thawed them out?

I would describe them as dead.

Dead. Right.

But, hey, for a hundred
thousand dollars, doctor,

you'll give it a shot
with her, won't you?

- Objection.
Keene: Withdrawn.

Keene: Nothing further.

[pensive music]

Allison...

Allison, we got
to talk about this.

I'm okay, Victor.
Let's just go to sleep.

It's 2 o'clock.

Neither one of us is sleepy.

And I'm no expert
on this, but...

I mean, the doctors...

those people at the rape
treatment center,

they all say the same thing.

We have to confront
this thing together.

You got to include me.

A man threw me down on the floor
and rammed himself inside me.

Consider yourself included.

[sighs]

We got to be on
the same side here. I...

We are, baby.

I'm just afraid.

I'm scared that
this is never gonna go away.

I'm afraid that if I talk about
it, I'm gonna think about it

and if I think about it,
I'm gonna think about

how stupid I was.

Hey, hey, hey.

How could I have let
that guy in my house?!

You did nothing wrong, Allison.
You did nothing wrong.

Maybe I didn't fight back
enough. Maybe I--

I don't even have any bruises
on me, I mean--

[shushes]
Come on, don't do this.

Look, look.

Why-- why don't we just...

get away from here and hit
Santa Barbara for the weekend.

We just clear out of here.
We can do some biking.

We could take in a
few brunches. Get fat...

You can't fix this so easy,
sweetie.

I was raped.

And Santa Barbara
or no Santa Barbara

this thing really
happened to me. [sobbing]

[melancholic music]

[crying]

But their argument, Dr. Lettora,

is that some day,
this could be possible.

It's all very fascinating
to speculate

about future possibilities.

But what we're
talking about here

is taking the life of a
human being, today,

based on a possibility
which is given

virtually no merit by
the scientific community.

Keene: Now you heard, Dr. Simon.

Today we're already freezing

corneas, heart valves--

Look, I don't want to be the one

to shout "never" in the face

of technological progress.

But what we're talking about

is chopping off heads.

Draining fluids from bodies.

You can't be cured this way.

You just die sooner.

Keene: But if she just
wants to try, doctor...

Is there anything
wrong with that?

In my opinion, yes.

Cryonics costs $100,000 a shot.

Or just 35 if you're willing
to be decapitated.

Now, I don't care
if life insurance

proceeds are paying for it.

The point is,
millions of dollars

could be flushed away on this
futile quest for immortality.

And when I see cancer and-- and
AIDS research so incredibly

lacking in funds,
then I find this whole thing

to be socially irresponsible.

I'm sorry.

Keene: Thank you, Doctor.

Nothing further.

Do you think

a hundred years ago,
any doctor ever

envisioned an artificial
heart or an airplane?

Or a computer that could store

a thousand pages of information
on a chip so small

it's barely visible
to the human eye?

I doubt that anybody envisioned

those things 100 years ago. No.

And do you think it's possible
that a hundred years from now,

we'll be able to do things
nobody can envision today?

Yes. But I don't think--

Thank you, Dr. Lettora.

We're not talking
about the discovery

of electricity
here, counselor.

What we're talking about

is some harebrained scheme
of bringing

frozen mummies back to life.

Who discovered
electricity, sir?

- Benjamin Franklin.
- Mm-hmm.

And who was it who first
introduced the idea of cryonics?

I have no idea.

Rollins: It was
Benjamin Franklin.

But who's he?

Just some nut who like to fly

his kite during thunderstorm.

- Objection.
- Withdrawn. Nothing further.

Rollins: Oh, one more question.

You reviewed the
X-rays and the medical records

of my client, did you not?

I did.

Is there any chance with today's

medical technology, she could
survive this brain tumor?

No.

I have nothing further.

Barry's handled hundreds of
rape cases. He's good, Victor.

Maybe he is, but I'm
more sure about you.

I know the victim.

I know the victim's boyfriend.

I shouldn't be prosecuting,
and you know it.

Dammit, Grace, come on.

We both know that these scum
just slip through the cracks.

I don't want this guy
slipping through.

She made a positive I.D.

They found motile sperm in her,
his skin under her nails.

He is not going
to slip through.

I'm asking you
as a friend, Grace.

Get this bastard.

Okay, Victor.

Okay.

I'll get him.

Try and think of your
shoulders and your waist

as two completely
different entities.

Going one direction
with your hips

and still like this
with your upper body.

Yeah, my shoulders are one thing
but I haven't controlled

these hips in years.

[laughing]

Stop laughing.

This isn't a discipline.

It's more of a total suspension
of concentration.

Just relax.

Good.

Okay now, doing
what we're doing,

we're gonna add some structure.

Ready and right, two, three.
Back, two, three.

Back, two, three.

Right, two, three.

Back, two, three.

Whoops!

Well, hi, Michael.

This is the movement class
I was telling you about.

We're getting
ready for Thursday.

[chuckles] Oh, Michael Kuzak,
this is Gloria Much.

She's singing, too.

- Hi, nice to meet you.
- Hi.

I'm doing "25 Miles,"
you know, "Walkin'."

[laughing] I see.

I'm Kimberly Dugan.

Hi. Are you singing, too?

No, I'm just a dance coach.

Oh, dance coach. Good.

Yeah. You want to dance?

[chuckles] No, no.

I-- I just came in
to get a file.

It's nice to meet you, though.

Nice to meet you.

Okay, ladies, let's pick it up.

Shoulders and hips.

Liberate that pelvis.

Kimberly: Come on.
Move it nice, and free.

Good, Gloria.

Tell me, Sol...

[door closes]

you happy?

What are you talking about?

You pony up a pretty
stiff retainer each year.

I just want to make sure you're

happy with what you're getting.

Yeah, you think you wouldn't

know about it if I wasn't?

Come on, Arnie.
What's this about?

I'm thinking about leaving
McKenzie Brackman.

And you want to know if I'll
jump ship and go with you.

I can't ask you to do that.

It would be a breach
of my fiduciary

responsibility to
my partners here.

Oh, yeah, that would be awful.

Of course I'll jump
with you, Arnie.

What else am I gonna do?

You don't have to give me
an answer now.

- I just gave you one.
- Listen, you're happy here.

You might want to stay here.

Hey, look,
who got me off the hook

when the first bitch tried
to crucify me?

Somebody else did that?
You did that.

Who structured my
corporation so that

the second bitch
didn't see dollar one?

Somebody else did that?
You did that.

Naturally, I'd
like to do it again.

Loyalty is very high on my
list of human characteristics.

- I know it is.
- Arnie, you're my lawyer.

- Wherever you go, I go. Got it?
- Got it.

Good. Now find yourself
something else to worry about.

Oh, I'd appreciate it if
you wouldn't say anything.

Hey, boychik, who you talking
to, a girl scout?

- Hiya, doll.
- Hi, Sol.

I'm telling you, Arnie,
she looks gorgeous.

[Roxanne chuckles]

Bye.

Rox, could you get
me the Rosen file?

All of it?

Yeah, I'm not sure
what I'm gonna need

so you better
bring me all of it.

- Okay.
Becker: Rox...

How would you feel about
my begging off tomorrow night?

- How come?
- I don't know.

With everything that's going
on, I feel a little funny

about going on socializing.

Oh, to tell you the truth,
I'd be grateful.

Grateful?

Oh, yeah, it'd be easier for me

if you weren't out there, Arnie.

Even if I'm ready to do this
in front of other people,

I'm not sure I'm
ready to do it in front of you.

[telephone ringing]

That's sweet.

Keene: Aside from the scientific
implausibility of it,

your Honor,
I believe the precedent that

you'd be setting is
extremely dangerous.

However they want to guise it,
they're looking for

the court
to sanction euthanasia.

Once you do that,
they'll be lining up

on the courthouse steps.

People in wheelchairs.

Alzheimer victims.
Cancer patients.

People who are depressed,
you name it.

And they'll all be saying,
"Please, you end it for me.

You put me out of my misery."

Well, we don't do that.

And I'm sorry, we
can't start doing it.

I know that it's possible
that this technology

will never happen, Your Honor.

And I guess that it is possible
that if you let me get frozen,

that people who are unhappy with
the quality of their lives

are gonna go running to judges
and ask for permission

to get themselves killed.

But that's all speculation,
Your Honor.

Paula: Let me tell you
what isn't speculation.

The growth in my head

is destroying my brain.

Today, I have
periodic dizzy spells.

Two months from now,

I'm gonna lose my memory.

Three months from now,
I won't be able to talk

or even recognize
the people that I love.

I will end up comatose,

and then I'll die.

That's what the doctors say
will definitely happen.

I'm not ready to stop
living, Your Honor.

I have a fantastic family.

That's my sister over there.

And she's the only one that
I've told about the tumor

because the rest of my family's
not gonna be able to take this.

I have very dear
friends, Your Honor.

And I'm not ready
to stop living.

But you realize
if I grant your request,

and even if this technology
comes true in a hundred years,

you'll never see these
people again.

I know that.

But they will forever remind me

of what this world has to offer.

And that's why I'm here.

I'm not asking you for death.

I'm begging you for
my last chance at life.

Judge Peterson: Bail is set in
the amount of $10,000

or $1,000 cash equivalent.

Preliminary hearing
is set for January 8th.

Call the next case.

Court Officer: Case number
1347B. People v. Mores.

Jenkins: Waive reading
charges, Your Honor.

Judge Peterson: So waived.
How do you plead?

Jenkins: Defendant pleads not
guilty and requests

bail in the amount of $5,000.

Van Owen: Opposed, Your Honor.

This man stands accused

of committing a brutal
and violent rape.

Request bail of $100,000.

Wait a minute, I understood

Mr. Barry
was prosecuting this case.

You understood wrong. I am.

Jenkins: This
is a first offense.

His roots in the community
are tenuous at best.

He has family in Mexico.
That makes him a flight risk.

I don't want to lose him, Judge.
First offense or not.

Judge Peterson: A
hundred thousand it is.

My client can't make
that kind of bail, Your Honor.

Then he stays in jail.
Call the next case.

Your Honor, Victor Sifuentes.
Ask to be heard on this matter.

Approach.

Your Honor, I'm here

making an appearance on behalf
of the complainant.

That's what the prosecutor's
for, Mr. Sifuentes.

Your Honor,
on behalf of the complainant,

I hereby petition the court
that the defendant

be tested for HIV and for AIDS.

Jenkins: I object to that.
Sifuentes: Of course you do.

Jenkins: The District Attorney's
office had an obligation

to inform my client about this.
They never did.

Well, this doesn't come
from my office, Your Honor.

I didn't know anything about it.

Your Honor, the law
permits only sex crime

victims themselves
to petition the court.

He's right, Miss Jenkins.

My client hasn't
been convicted

of a sex crime or any
other kind of crime.

He has been charged,
and that's all that's required.

So Fourth Amendment protection
goes out the window.

That's right.

I don't believe
that's warranted.

I don't believe that's fair.

That man raped that woman.

Now he put her at risk for
a life threatening disease.

He puts her partners at risk.

He should be tested for AIDS

the way you test
a dog for rabies.

- Victor.
Jenkins: Your Honor.

He should be tied down, and
blood should be drawn from him--

Mr. Sifuentes.

You know better than that.

I'm sorry, Your Honor.
I'm sorry.

Petition's granted.

The defendant will
be tested forthwith.

Call the next case.

Court officer:
Case number 4427C.

People v. Robin.

[indistinct chatter]

Counsel approach.

Judge Conover: Ms. Lights,
please approach as well.

While I'm not convinced
that this cryonics technology

will ever be a reality...

I am persuaded that
many respected members

of our scientific community

recognize it as a possibility,
however remote.

But even though we're dealing
with tomorrow's science,

I must nevertheless apply
today's laws.

And under today's
legal definition of death,

when you freeze your body
to a point where your heart

no longer beats and your brain
no longer registers

any electrical activity,
you're dead.

And aiding and abetting in
a suicide is against the law.

The only means, therefore,
for me to grant your court order

is for me to declare invalid the
law against aiding a suicide.

And believe it or not, that's
exactly what I'm prepared to do.

The right to privacy is a
fundamental protection

extended by our state
and federal constitutions.

It has already been extended
to allow an individual

to refuse life
saving medical treatment.

And I am going to extend it
even further today,

because... in my view...

the right to control
our own destiny,

as long as it does not
affect the rights of others,

is the ultimate exercise of
this constitutional guarantee.

And it should include the right
to enlist the aid of others.

My ruling, no doubt
will be appealed.

And you will be able
to time the validity

of this decision
with a stopwatch.

But for now, you have a
constitutional right

to terminate your life.
This matter is adjourned.

The state appeals, Your Honor
and asks for a stay.

Denied. We're adjourned.

File your appeal in the morning.

M.C: Gloria Much,
ladies and gentlemen!

[instrumental music]

Did Grace say when
the trial would be?

There'll be a prelim next week.

And then she said, uh...

she was gonna try to push for
the trial as soon as possible.

Allison: Good.

Allison, Grace said
that she talked to this

guy's lawyer and they're
gonna raise consent.

What does that mean?

Well, it's-- it's
their defense, um...

They're gonna argue
that you wanted to have sex.

[scoffs] They're gonna say,
I wanted it.

You knew the attacker.
You had a drink together.

You left the bar together.
That's, that's their angle.

- I left with a crowd.
- Yeah, I-- I know that.

I'm just trying to tell you the
way they're gonna paint it.

This isn't gonna be
about him at all, is it?

It's gonna be about me.

Look, Alison, we could get

through this together.

I'm going on trial
here, aren't I, Victor?

Fifteen seconds.

- Don't forget to breathe.
- Hips. Move your hips.

Just belt it out, Rox,
you're gonna be great.

- Hey, what's taking so long?
- Stuart?

Yeah, they, uh, sent me back
here to check on you,

and, uh, to give you these.

- Oh, Stuart.
- Yeah.

You're already a
big star with us, Roxanne.

So just go out there
and have a ball.

M.C: Okay, next, ladies

and gentlemen, we have
the stage debut

of a very talented lady.

She's sexy. She's sultry.

How about a nice
Backland's welcome

for the sensuous Roxanne Melman.

Are you sure you don't
want me to go with you?

Yeah.

My sister's waiting
for me at the hotel so

we're gonna call my
parents and tell them.

And then we're gonna drive down.

The doctors and
technicians are waiting.

You don't have to
do this tonight, Paula.

You know I do.

The judge gave me a window of
one night to get this done.

Tomorrow,
the appeal will be filed,

and the court order
will be stayed.

So, it's now or never.

I've changed my
mind about this. I...

- I don't think--
- Please.

You remember the
time we stayed up all night.

We talked about whether
we should be a couple or not.

[laughs]

Yeah, you said...

You didn't think we should
because it would

jeopardize our friendship.

Yeah.

Well, that's what I said,

but what I was really thinking
was that you were a jerk.

[laughs]

[laughing]

I still love you, you know.

I still love you.

[instrumental music]

- This isn't fair.
- I know.

See you later, alligator.

I'm off to cooler climates.
