He seems to move further and further away

from me in bed every night.

- What does that mean to you? - To me? [scoffs]

Ask him what it means.

I don't see why that needs to be brought up here.

The truth is that you really rather not be here at all.

She's right. I've never been to a shrink before.

I've never been in therapy, I mean...

The closest I've ever been to any of this stuff

is the confessional booth before mass

and I haven't been to one of those in a while, so...

Why are you here?

I'm here because Allison needs

and I think, wants me to be here for her.

But mostly because I want to help her get through this.

We are here because

you can't bear to touch me anymore, Victor.

- Hey, I touch you. - When you have to.

You turn away when you don't.

Did Allison getting raped make it hard

for you to touch her, Victor?

Look, Caroline, I think that we'll be able to work

all that out between us, okay?

We're here to help Allison 'cause Allison

was the one that was raped.

It's not that simple.

When a woman gets raped, the man who loves her

is a victim too.

Right.

Honey, I feel like you blame me.

Come on, Allison.

I roll over in my sleep at night

and I'm blaming you for being raped?

That's the way it feels.

Lately, I feel like you've grown cold.

Like it's a struggle for you to be with me.

It's not a struggle.

I think it is.

You were terrific when this happened.

You were terrific during the trial.

But now I feel like you'd rather I just worked it out by myself.

You're wrong. Okay?

She's wrong.

Look, honey, I wanna get through this.

I want to do whatever we have to do

so that we can put all of this behind us

and we can get back to the way things were before.

[sighs] They will never be what they were before.

Victor: Why not?

Caroline: Because getting raped changes people.

I loved her before she was raped,

and I love her now. nothing's changed about me.

Allison: Yes, it has.

I'm looking at you

and I'm telling you that you have changed.

I'm different and you're different too.

[theme music]

[music continues]

Douglas: I trust Blakely will be satisfied

with those results, I also trust

we will be receiving payment forthwith.

- Martin versus Sawyer. - We go today.

I thought we were gonna make every effort to settle this.

We did. It didn't work.

Douglas: I don't like sex-discrimination cases.

You can never win, I don't like suing federal judges.

There's a political fallout for the firm.

The client wants a trial, Doug.

Uh-huh.

Moving on...

I regret to report my little moyel malpractice matter

also failed to settle as I was so sure it would.

- The trial starts today. - Oh, for God's sake.

Now wait a minute, wait a minute, what little

moyel malpractice matter?

A negligent bris.

My father's dearest friend, an elderly rabbi,

was circumcising a young lad...

It seems he snipped too much.

Jonathan: Ouch. - Whoa.

Some things we're spared, Abby.

I'm glad this is one of them.

Hence, I'm in need of a litigator.

I'm willing to do it myself, but it would be better if--

- I'll do it. - I thought you had your trial.

Yeah, but, uh, I'm on a winning streak.

And I'm Jewish, I know the subject matter.

- Come on! - Okay, you take it, Stuart.

Great. I'll talk to... Oh, wait a minute.

- Tomorrow. - Douglas: What about tomorrow?

Stuart: I'm, uh, I'm taking care of Matthew tomorrow.

Ann's in San Francisco with the Bennett deposition, so ...

Nah. It's okay, I'll get a sitter.

No, it's good, it's good.

- This is good. - Good.

Good morning, everyone.

Leland: Now that Arnold has returned from his vacation,

I have an announcement to make.

After discussion with Michael and Douglas,

we've decided to add Arnold's name to the firm's name.

Beginning February one, we will thereafter be known

as McKenzie, Brackman, Cheney, Kuzak and Becker.

And on that celebratory note, we're adjourned.

Arnold: Just a second.

I hope that we can put this behind us, folks.

Yeah.

And so your work had been satisfactory till this point?

Yes. My job performance was never in question.

He was totally upfront about that.

Well, what were his reasons for firing you then?

Basically, he said he was falling in love with me.

Victor: That's why he fried you?

Yes. He said that his feelings for me

were jeopardizing his marriage.

And that out of respect for his family,

he couldn't let me work for him anymore.

Alright, but you did find other employment

after leaving Judge Sawyer, didn't you?

Kerry: Yes. I got hired at a law firm.

But being a first-year lawyer is very different

than clerking for a federal court judge.

A circuit court clerkship is extremely prestigious.

I had a shot at going on to clerk for the Supreme Court.

But when I got fired, I lost that opportunity.

I suddenly became just another law school graduate.

And do you think that this will continue to affect

your professional career?

Kerry: He's a well-known judge, I was his clerk,

this was a feather that would've helped me

for the rest of my professional life.

But instead, I've spent the last two years explaining

as to why I got fired.

And what about the people I don't get a chance

to explain to? I mean, to them...

To the real world,

I had something great and I blew it.

Well, I didn't blow it. He blew it for me.

Victor: Thank you, Ms. Martin.

I have nothing further, Your Honor.

Did Judge Sawyer ever make any sexual advances towards you?

No, he didn't.

Did he ever manifest his romantic interests,

or sexually harass you in any way?

No. I didn't even know of his romantic interests

until the day he fired me.

Helen: And it was Judge Sawyer who helped you

get the new job at the law firm, wasn't it?

Kerry: Yes. He helped me.

And now, two years later,

when you're suddenly dissatisfied

with the progress of your career,

you decide to sue him for the blame.

The more I thought about what he did,

the more I was convinced he was wrong.

I see, so whenever things don't work out for you,

my client's going to be the bad guy.

I don't think of your client as a bad guy, Ms. Keris.

I never have.

But he fired me because of his failure

and that is wrong!

- Move to strike. Matt: Overruled.

I earned that clerkship.

I finished at the top of my class,

I was editor of the law review,

and I earned the right to clerk for this circuit court judge.

And I lost it. Because he fell in love, I lost it.

- Motion to strike! - Ms. Martin, that's enough.

And the ceremony didn't go as expected,

did it, Mr. Gorosh?

It was awful. A bris.

A religious, joyous thing.

I've got family there,

everybody's happy...

Why shouldn't everybody be happy?

And then, he performs the circumcision.

- Precise he wasn't. - Objection.

Witness has no foundation as to what precision entails.

- It was a nick. - You call yourself a moyel?

Mr. Gorosh, please don't address the defendant.

Mr. Glickman, please don't address anybody.

I show you this photograph

and I ask if you can identify it.

That's my son, Yehuda. Oy. It pains to look at it.

- Objection, move to strike. Walter: Sustained.

Your Honor, we have an artist's drawing to scale here,

depicting the probable extent of disfigurement

once the afflicted area has reached full adult maturity.

Objection to the term "Disfigurement,"

objection to the drawing. It's speculation.

Your version of full maturity is a little optimistic, counsel.

Your Honor, according to family heritage--

Forget it. The photo is okay, the artwork is out.

Now will you all step back and...

Excuse me. You shouldn't be here.

I came to see the pictures.

Walter: Well, you shouldn't be up here, sir.

This is a side bar for counsel only.

Mr. Markowitz, take him back, and let's get on with this.

- Why can't I see the pictures? - Shh-shh-shh. Come on.

Mr. Gorosh, what kind of an effect, in your lay opinion,

do you think this will have on your boy?

Bruce: Good it won't do him.

A woman'll make a remark one day and that's it.

It haunts him for the rest of his life.

It was a nick.

Walter: Mr. Glickman, if you make any more outbursts,

I'll cite you for contempt.

King: I have nothing further for this witness, Your Honor.

Mr. Gorosh.

This mishap caused no physical disabilities, did it?

He's a little boy. Who could know such a thing?

But as I understand it, the damage here,

aside from the scar,

is solely the psychological embarrassment

your son will have to suffer while growing up.

Stuart: Is that correct? - That's a lot.

Thank you, Mr. Gorosh.

I have nothing further.

- Is that it? - Shh!

Brackman said you were good.

Shush!

Anybody talking to you?

They've said hi, but nobody's too chatty.

- How about you? - No.

Nothing but cold stares. They all hate me.

They don't hate you, Arnie.

We should expect them to be cool for awhile.

I mean, we snuck out clients.

Yeah, well, they're all children.

Every one of them a child.

- What's he upset about? - Well, I don't know.

But he wants a lunch meeting tomorrow.

And I've got a law school class,

so you two'll have to handle it.

Actually, it might be better if I do it alone.

Are you kidding?

Feldenkranz is our biggest client.

If neither Leland nor I show up--

They're also a disgruntled client

with a diminishing respect for our work.

Now, if Dan Siegfried finds himself sitting opposite,

I'm sorry, Douglas, finds himself sitting opposite

a lawyer with braces on his teeth,

he's not going to be filled with confidence.

I don't think that's true, Rosalind.

Psychologically, a client wants to see strength.

Braces are an adolescent thing

and we don't need that image running to the firm.

- They're hardly noticeable. Rosalind: They are noticeable.

They're stainless steel

and the sunlight bounces right off them.

Let me take it alone, Leland. It's what I do.

I'll lock in that client.

Douglas, I don't think your braces are a concern here.

Leland: But on the chance that Dan Siegfried

could find it silly,

let's let Rosalind go solo.

You going out?

Yeah. I'm having dinner with Melanie.

Like that?

Like what?

You just seem a little dressed up, that's all.

It just so happens that this is the first time in two weeks

that I'm going out on a nonrape-related activity

and I would like to take off the sack cloth.

So what's your point, Victor?

- There's no point, honey. Allison: No?

- No. - You bastard.

Oh, here we go again.

Victor: Everything I do or say--

You think I asked for it, don't you?

I do not think you asked for it!

I'm just concerned about your safety, Allison.

- My safety? - Yes, your safety.

You get dressed up, you attract attention. that's not safe.

Oh, please. You think I asked for it.

I am sick and tired of you

and everybody else telling me what I think!

Then you say it, Victor!

- For once, say what you think. - I have said it.

I got raped because of something I said?

I got raped because of something I did?

I got raped because of something I wore.

This is what I had on, Victor. Is this what did it?

- Shut up, Allison. - Is this what did it?

What the hell do you want from me?

If I could kill that son of a bitch, I'd kill him, okay?

That wouldn't change anything.

But it would make me feel a whole lot better.

Then why don't you do it, Victor?

Why don't you wait until he gets out of jail,

hunt him down and kill him.

But just don't act like it's for my benefit.

Right. I got it.

[door slams shut]

We were trying to turn out three opinions within a month,

all of pretty substantial import,

and we were starting to put in a lot of late hours.

And at some point you found yourself

romantically interested in Ms. Martin?

- Yes, I did. Helen: And this was a problem?

Henry: After awhile, yes. It sounds ridiculous, I know.

But if you are lying in bed with your wife at night,

thinking about another woman, that is a problem.

Helen: And did you tell Ms. Martin about all of this?

No. My feelings were totally inappropriate.

To burden her with them would have been more so.

So what did you do?

Henry: At first I tried to dismiss it, but I couldn't.

The more time that I spent with her,

the more time I wanted to spend with her.

And I began to wonder whether subconsciously

I was inventing ways to work late in order to be near her.

- And what happened? Henry: Well...

I told my wife about it, I have no idea why I did that,

except for the fact that

we had always been honest with each other.

And I guess, I was trying to...

cleanse my conscious anyway that I could.

Helen: What was her reaction?

Henry: She was very hurt. Jealous.

Upset that I would be spending 12 hours a day

with that person for the next year.

So you decided to terminate Ms. Martin's employment.

I had to. Dierdre was starting to fight anxiety, depression.

For her sake, I had to discharge Kerry.

It was threatening my marriage.

Why didn't you just say you were unhappy with her work?

- Isn't that have been easier? Henry: It would've been a lie.

It would've damaged her career far more than the truth.

Her work was fantastic.

I wanted her future employers to know that.

Helen: Thank you, Judge Sawyer. Nothing further.

Victor: You fired this woman

because you were smitten by her, right?

I fired her because I was no longer confident

in our working relationship, which had been

undermined by my attraction for her, yes.

And you don't see anything wrong with that?

Henry: I see a lot wrong with that.

But I still think it was the correct decision.

A judge and his clerk make law, there has to be

an intellectual and professional candor between them.

And that candor cannot be compromised by either personal

or emotional feelings. Ours was.

And you're the one who compromised it!

I'm human, Mr. Sifuentes.

Wait a minute, is that your defense? I'm human?

You gouge this woman's career

and that's your defense? "I'm human."

Listen, I'm a public servant,

and if I'm distracted as a judge

it is my responsibility to remedy the situation--

What happens, you get horny there, judge?

Mr. Sifuentes, that's out of line!

Your libido goes tilt and she gets fired!

There was no easy solution here.

I could either fire her, quit the bench,

or disregard my wife's pain.

- There was no easy solution-- - Oh, yes, there was.

You made Kerry Martin a victim

for something that wasn't her fault.

That was easy!

Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

Listen to this. Oh. You remember that?

You remember that? Yeah, that's good.

Goddammit! What?

- Stuart? - Oh, Hi.

Uh, everything okay in here? Uh-uh.

I have to be in court in a half an hour,

and the baby sitter's late, and Matthew barfed on my brief.

Oh, let me see Matthew.

- Let me see the little guy. - There's Uncle Mike.

There's Uncle Mike.

What's all the racket about, huh?

What's all the racket? Huh?

What do you have to say for yourself, huh?

- Well, now he's quiet. - Yeah, now he's quiet.

Uh, what's that noise, Stuart?

Oh, it's, uh, womb music.

Dave Meyer has a whole catalog of intrauterine sound effects

so it makes them feel like they're back in the womb

you know, where it's safe and they're secure and everything.

What's that thing you're wearing, anyway?

It's a-- a nursing vest.

It's designed for child-father bonding, it's like a...

It's ridiculous. It doesn't work either.

She's supposed to be here at 10 o'clock.

- I don't know-- - Why don't I take him, Stuart.

- What? Michael: Oh, sure.

You go to court, don't worry about a thing.

And I'll hand him over to the sitter. Maybe.

Do you... know anything about babies?

Would you listen to him, do I know anything about babies?

Say, "Bye bye, daddy."

Come on. Bye, Mattie.

Bye bye, honey.

Bye, Mattie. Good-bye, honey. Daddy's going to court.

- Bye-bye. Michael: What do you wanna do?

Hiya, Benny.

I said hello, Benny.

Hello.

Do you want to tell me what's the matter?

No.

You're mad at me because I left the firm, aren't you?

I'm busy now.

Benny, if you're mad,

I think you owe me the courtesy of talking to me about it.

You lied.

I didn't really lie to you, Benno. I just--

Yes, you did.

You said you and Roxanne were going to the car.

And you said you were coming back. That's a lie.

Well, I did that for your own protection, believe it or not.

You see, it was important that nobody at the firm

know about my leaving and...

I-- i-- it's kind of hard to explain why.

- Can you trust me on that? - No.

Well, I think you can trust the fact

that you and I are friends, Benny

and I would never do anything to hurt you.

You went away and you didn't even say good-bye.

What...

[instrumental music]

The fact that Leland McKenzie is not here

is indicative of my problem.

I'm not getting the service I need.

And just how has our service been inadequate?

To begin with, our last three distribution contracts

have left us considerably exposed.

For that, I blame you.

That's very interesting because I blame you.

Excuse me?

Those contracts were all drafted by outside counsel

for your subsidiaries and you didn't let us supervise.

So you're gonna blame the other lawyers.

- That's not very professional. - You misunderstood.

I'm blaming you, you're the one

that has hired all those different attorneys.

I don't want the same lawyers for everybody.

It's not good business practice.

Well, that's wrong, there is no reason

to arm everybody with different attorneys

so they can generate fees

and make separate deals with distributors.

It's not only counter-productive,

but it potentially exposes you to anti-trust problems.

Now that makes you look stupid, Mr. Siegfried.

Let one firm draft all the contracts.

Let one firm represent both, you and your subsidiaries.

And I suppose this one firm should be McKenzie Brackman.

I'm not going to lie to you. We've had our problems.

Maybe Leland McKenzie isn't what he used to be.

But I will promise you this, if you leave your business here,

I will personally take responsibility.

And I can be sure you're this good?

They brought me in here because I'm that good.

I make money, Mr. Siegfried. Money for my firm.

Money for the clients I serve. Money for you.

Give me three months.

If you don't like what you get, you walk away.

I had just given him the wine on the cotton ball

and he didn't like it, he began to squirm.

Is that when your hand slipped, sir?

I wouldn't even call it a slip.

He's making a whole tzimmes of it.

The baby didn't even cry.

- Well, at this time-- - Just made this little squeak.

Eek. Eek.

Rabbi, have you ever had a problem

with any circumcisions before?

Never. In 46 years, I never had a prob...

And if it hadn't been for the squirming,

it wouldn't have happened now. This I know to be true.

Thank you, sir. I have nothing further.

Didn't even cry.

- Just a squeak, I know. - Yeah.

Sir, do you have any medical training?

[sneers]

I've performed over 3000 circumcisions.

King: Do you have any medical license of any kind?

Objection. Moyels don't need to be licensed.

The question has no relevance.

Judge: Sustained.

What did you say while you performed the service?

I said the prayer.

After the prayers,

while you were doing the circumcision,

what exactly did you say?

I might have said "Whoops."

King: Thank you, Mr. Glickman. Nothing further.

[tires screeching]

[indistinct chatter]

Won't start?

Too tired to turn the key.

- You okay? - Yeah.

Had a tough case, you know?

Honorable judge on trial, hard to show damages.

Tough case.

Uh-huh.

You okay?

I don't know how to help her, Mike.

Last... Last night she tells me that

when she closes her eyes, she can still smell this guy.

I mean, how am I suppose to help her get by it?

I don't know what to do.

I mean, I can't seem to get to her. I can't...

It's gonna take time, Victor.

Yeah. Time.

[theme music]

And as an expert economist, sir, did you have opportunity

to determine whether Ms. Martin suffered damages

as a result of this discharge?

Yes. It was my conclusion that she did not.

Helen: And your conclusion was based on what, doctor?

The law job she took immediately after

paid more than the clerkship.

And her greatest opportunity for financial security

lies in a law firm such as this one,

not in being a judge or a law professor down the road.

Assuming she performs well in her firm,

Ms. Martin will have suffered

no economic loss as a result of the discharge.

Thank you, Dr. Claflin. Nothing further.

Now... why does she call you, doctor?

I'm a doctor of economics.

As a doctor of economics, you're saying that my client

wasn't damaged by being fired, correct?

That's what I'm saying, yes, she's employed in a top law firm

with opportunity for future partnership

where her projected income--

And, sir, if you had an employee,

and you knew that she was fired from her last job,

would that cause you to think more or less of her?

I don't think that would factor into my opinion.

Somebody gets fired from their job

and you're saying that it has no bearing on their competency?

That's either incredibly stupid doctor, or you're a liar!

Your Honor, I made an objection.

Sustained. Cool it, Mr. Sifuentes.

The thing is, counselor, Ms. Martin

has obviously landed on her feet here.

Did your analysis take into account the emotional scarring

that can be incurred when someone gets fired?

Did it take into account the possibility of the loss

of her self-esteem?

Did it take into account what it must be like

to get dressed up every morning,

being very careful not to be too attractive

for fear of turning on the boss?

Did it take into account that when sexual discrimination

like this is tolerated, that it festers...

until the point of malignancy...

Mr. Sifuentes?

Withdrawn.

Douglas.

You'll be happy to hear that

not only are we keeping Feldenkranz as a client,

but we've picked up their three subsidiaries as well.

- Including Braeden? - Including Braeden.

My God, that's fantastic.

I figured that would make you smile.

Listen, there may be a kind of delicate problem

for which I need your help.

What is it?

Well, it seems that Dan Siegfried wants me

to be the responsible attorney.

Not just for the subs, but for Feldenkranz itself.

Now that's Leland's client

and the last thing I want to do is step on his toes.

Why doesn't he want Leland?

God knows. You know how these clients are.

My gut reaction is to say, "No, McKenzie's your lawyer,"

but I don't want to risk losing the business.

Don't do that.

Let me take it up with Leland.

Rosalind: Are you sure? - It's not a problem.

Thanks a lot.

[sighs] About your braces...

I hope you didn't take that personally.

Don't be silly.

You know, I'll tell you a little secret...

The best kiss of my life came from a boy with braces.

- Is that right? - Clint Fernold.

We were steadies for six months, and he never once tried

to kiss me because he was so self-conscious about the...

Mm-hm.

Well, one night he decided to try.

I guess he thought he was going to hurt me or something,

because it was the softest,

gentlest kiss you could ever imagine.

Our lips barely touched.

There was something almost fragile about it.

And then he became ever so slightly

more urgent with it.

It was the most incredible sensation I've ever felt.

That's... very interesting.

That's our secret, Douglas.

Okay.

I'll take it up with Leland.

Good.

Bye-bye.

- What? - Oh, hi, Benny. Uh...

Come on in, I'd like to talk to you.

I'm busy.

Benny, I'm a partner here and when a partner

asks you to do something, you do it.

Now come in and close the door.

Listen. I know that my leaving,

that my not telling you the truth,

I know that that upset you.

And you have every right to be upset.

But all this is because of a difference

I had with the other partners here.

It has nothing to do with you.

Can you understand that?

Okay.

My friendship with you is very important to me, Benny.

I'd like to think that we still have that.

Can I go back to work now?

Benny, I wanna talk about this.

I have to sort the mail now.

Okay, fine. Benny, just... Go.

No! No, no, no! Just hold it, Benny.

You think because you're retarded

you don't have to ever forgive people?

Leave me alone.

How many times have I helped you?

How many times have you come crying to me

because you were upset?

Have I ever told you to, "Go away, I'm busy?"

Now when I'm going through something,

when I need your support,

you shut me down cold.

Dammit! [sighs]

I don't understand this, you make me get up here again.

You've been recalled, sir, I'm allowed to do that.

Now you testified that this injury

would undermine your son's social life, did you not?

What's the matter, you weren't here?

[clears throat] You also testified

that you're an orthodox Jew and you intend

to bring your son up strictly in that faith.

- Is that correct? - Correct.

But isn't it true, sir, that any social life

your son may have as he grows up,

would not involve his penis?

What is this? What are you saying?

I'm saying that as an orthodox Jew

your son will have no occasion for sex prior to marriage.

And as an orthodox Jew, he will necessarily marry

another orthodox Jew who will also be a virgin,

and will therefore have nothing to compare your son to,

and will therefore have no basis

to discern any abnormality.

- You're kidding. - No.

It goes to damages, Your Honor.

I'm trying to establish that

any prospects this boy has

for physical intimacy with women as he grows up,

have already been severely restricted by his religion.

What about after he's married, mister, Mr. Attorney? Huh?

What about then, Mr. Self-hating Jew?

Do you honestly believe a man

gets embarrassed in front of his own wife?

- You're married? - Yes, I am.

And the only woman who sees me naked is my wife.

Don't you think it'll be the same with Yehuda?

Answer the question, sir.

Alright. He's got a point.

[instrumental music]

Much much better.

[theme music]

Victor: For the ten thousandth time,

look, I-- I do not blame you.

Maybe you blame yourself.

Allison?

Yesterday Victor told me that

he thought the skirt I was wearing was too short.

Are we back to that again?

Do you think that what you wore

had something to do with you being raped?

Intellectually, I don't.

But there's this voice that

keeps saying that maybe I could've stopped it.

Maybe I could've avoided being alone with him.

Maybe I put out something sexual.

Some kind of signal or something, I don't know.

People don't commit rape for sex, Allison,

they do it to degrade, they do it to destroy.

Maybe I could have fought more--

Honey! Honey, let that go, okay?

No, don't let go of it, this is exactly what--

- You're not helping her! Allison: Stop it!

You keep telling me not to think things,

not to feel things.

You can't make these feelings go away

by telling me not to have them! You can't!

I'm trying to help you, so-- so that

you don't beat yourself up here.

No! You don't want me to talk. You don't want to talk.

I've been talking here!

I love you, I'm-- I'm here for you, what else...

What the hell else do you need me to say for you?

I want you to tell me what's going on.

For God's sakes, I need you to tell me that.

Victor...

I keep seeing... this image.

What image?

Of him and her together.

When I look at you, I see him doing it.

I'm sorry.

And I can't make it, I can't make it go away.

I'm sorry, baby, but I've tried, I keep trying

and I can't, I can't shake it, you know?

Look at how beautiful this woman is.

How could he not fall for her?

That's the human thing to do.

It's human for men to be intoxicated

by attractive women.

And it is not realistic for us to be expected

to function professionally

when there are pretty girls walking around.

You dress nice, you smiled, you deserve this.

That is the mindset that's at work here,

ladies and gentlemen.

That is the mindset that victimizes women.

It is the mindset...

There was an agreement here.

She was to be his law clerk, he was to be her boss.

She kept her end, he didn't keep his.

Instead, he used his power

to cheat her out of a job and punish her

for something that he could not control.

Use your power, ladies and gentlemen,

to hold him accountable.

Tell her she's not to blame.

Tell her he's to blame.

Rosalind: I've been paged.

Rosalind, Daniel Siegfried can't stop raving about you.

- You did it. - It felt like it went well.

[chuckles] Douglas also suggested that

because the client is so impressed with you,

that we let you take control of the account.

I'd be happy to.

Feldenkranz is a big chunk of security

for us, Rosalind. Thank you.

I'm just happy to be a contributor.

Speaking of which, I have a client...

a former client, actually...

Industrial Plating.

It's a fifty-million dollar a year steel manufacturer

and they're ready to come aboard.

- Well, that sounds great. - There's a possible glitch.

Douglas has a client, Hauser Metals, Inc.,

who just happens to be competing

for the same government contract as Industrial.

We can't represent them both, it'd be a conflict of interest.

Leland, Industrial could generate

over one million dollars a year in fees.

But Hauser Metals is a long-standing client.

It was Douglas' father's client.

A client worth maybe

one hundred thousand dollars a year to us, tops.

I'm sure Douglas would agree to drop them.

But if he didn't, at the very least,

we would have to take it to a partnership vote,

which could be very humiliating for him.

And given how embarrassed he already is

over this braces thing, I think it would be much simpler

if you spoke to him privately.

Alright, Rosalind. I'll talk to Douglas.

Thank you.

Benny: Arnie?

Yeah?

I'm sorry.

[instrumental music]

I'm sorry too, Benny.

I did lie to you and I shouldn't have.

I can keep a secret.

I know you can. I should have trusted you.

So... we're still friends?

Yeah. We're still friends.

Okay.

I guess I should get back to work now.

What?

Go to work. Do something.

Walter: Members of the jury, have you reached a verdict?

Man 1: We have, Your Honor.

In the matter of Gorosh versus Glickman,

we the jury find in favor of the plaintiff

and award damages in the amount of $40,000.

Forty thousand dollars?

Walter: Members of the jury, I thank you.

- Where did they get this? Walter: This case is over.

Walter: You can all go home. - Tell me.

Mr. Glickman, Mr. Markowitz, would you please approach.

It's not typical for me to issue equitable orders

on the heels of a jury trial,

but I feel compelled to do so here.

Mr. Glickman, I'm hereby restraining you

from doing any more circumcisions.

Walter: Based on the evidence in this trial,

I don't think you're competent.

Your Honor, you have no jurisdiction for this.

Watch me. Ten-day restraining order.

We'll schedule the prelims.

Because I'm not a doctor, right?

Rabbis are better at this than doctors.

How do you like that?

On average, they probably are.

But I'm talking about one seventy-four-year-old rabbi

who's got no business going near anybody's genitalia

with sharp instruments.

I'm a moyel. It's my livelihood.

I've made my ruling. We're adjourned.

It was a nick.

Come on. Come on.

Excuse me, just one second.

Hi.

We came down to spy on daddy.

Weee. Come to daddy.

Come to daddy. Hi.

Daddy lost.

- $40,000. You got off light. - Yeah.

Uh, Isadore Glickman,

this is my wife, Ann Kelsey, and my son, Matthew.

How do you do?

Look, he can't stop me from doing circumcisions.

- This is not a legal step-- - Isadore.

You have to stop. You hurt that little boy.

This time it was just a scar, but what about the next time?

Try to understand me.

Nothing gives me greater pleasure than the bris.

It's the only thing I do that makes me feel alive.

You see this, this is my greatest joy.

And to think that his safety, or the safety of another child

might be threatened even slightly

because your hand shakes...

You can't do it anymore, Isadore.

So what am I...

If I can't even hold a child...

So what am I?

Here. Come on.

- Yes. Yes. - Oy!

[cooing]

[speaks in foreign language] he's a good boy.

I can tell just by the feel of him,

he's a good boy.

Yeah.

[hums]

Mr. Foreman, has the jury reached its verdict?

- We have, Your Honor. - What say you, sir?

In the matter of Martin versus Sawyer,

we find in favor of the plaintiff, Kerry Martin.

And we hereby order the defendant

to pay compensatory damages to the plaintiff

in the amount of $15,000.

We further order the defendant to pay punitive damages

in the amount of $250,000.

Mitchell: Members of the jury, thank you for your time

and your service, this matter is concluded.

We're adjourned.

- You did it. - No, you did it.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Look, can I take you out to celebrate

or something? Maybe dinner?

Raincheck. Okay?

I gotta get home.

Okay.

[indistinct chatter]

[exhales]

- Hi. - Hi.

Why?

Because I have to, honey.

I am never gonna get over this if we're together.

Hey, I know I can do better, I can do a whole lot better.

You're doing great.

It's just that when I'm with you,

I feel like something less than what I was.

Well, you know, it's-- it's only been a month

and I don't think that you've given yourself enough time.

I am looking at myself through your eyes

and I can't do that anymore.

I'm not saying that this is forever.

Maybe one day, I'll be able to look at you and not...

[sighs]

I just know that I've got to get away from certain things

and one of them is you.

Do you know that I love you?

I know.

[sighs]
