- Previously on Boston LegaI. - Hey. l'm Brad Chase from D.C.
- l think that's my seat. - l'm sorry.
We're not territoriaI about that sort of thing around here, are we?
- l was handIing it. - l just thought l'd heIp out.
That's very nice. But again, l was handIing it.
- So why does it bother you that l'm trying to heIp? - Wait a minute.
- You two have had sex. - We can't taiI the wife.
Ernie DeII is one of our biggest cIients.
lf he wants a private investigator, what's the reaI harm?
- l'm the one sIeeping with his wife. - l'm sorry?
- Shore. He makes fun of me. - But l'm a big fan of your Aqua VeIva commerciaIs.
- lt's not right. He caIIs me a Ken doII whiIe he- - Plays with your Barbie?
CompIeteIy mindfuI of the fact that you heIped buiId this pIace...
the partners here wiII not aIIow you to dismantIe it with your buffoonery.
They're not going to take the firm from you.
l'm not worried, Lori. Do l Iook worried? Look out there.
My domain. My city.
l'm Denny Crane.

[ No AudibIe DiaIogue ]
You have 30 minutes.
l have to say l find this very strange.
l aIways thought l'd be the one visiting you in a mentaI hospitaI.
l'm excited about tomorrow.
PIease teII me we have a shot.
l don't know how much Ionger l can take it in here.
We have a shot.
l'II get you out.
l don't need to hear it, AIan. l need it to happen.
The board wiII question you directIy.
lt's entireIy possibIe they'II try to provoke you.
Make sure l'm bombproof.
- Sorry? - lt's an expression with horses.
To be safe to ride a horse, it needs to be bombproof.
It doesn't spook easily. Can't have one whojust flies off.
Yes. ln addition to not flying off, you need to show contrition.
They Iike to see that you're sorry.
l am.
l- l am so sorry.
So deep- deepIy ashamed. How do l say it right?
Just Iike that.
Christine, you were in Iove with a man who was unworthy of you...
who made you doubt everything that you had a right to count on...
who perhaps even toyed with your sanity.
StiII, no excuse for trying to kiII him.
Perhaps he had it coming.
Perhaps you did.

Why is it we agreed to bifurcate the trial?
There's been no claim for punitive damage, only compensatory.
But our fear was the jury couId be so outraged, they might artificiaIIy...
inflate compensatories as a de facto puni, so we opted to bifurcate.
Separate juries- one for IiabiIity, one for damages. The cIient concurred.
Do you do tongue push-ups?
This is a staff meeting.
I encourage all to conduct themselves professionally, keeping in mind...
that remarks are tantamount to assertive conduct.
[ Paul ] Lansing versus Mahoney.
HospitaI settIed out. Deposition of Dr. Mahoney is today.
- We're hoping to make some movement on that as weII. - [ Paul ] Lot of eyes are on us.
We've got an H.M.O. on the bubble here waiting to see how this lawsuit is restored.
- l assume you've prepared for today's deposition? - ActuaIIy, Denny's taking it.
Denny's taking the deposition?
Yes.
WouIdn't it be better to save Denny for triaI? RoII out the big gun Iater?
Roll out the big gun now, this won't be a trial.
Move aIong, PauI.
In re: Christine Pauley.
Mine. Ex-girIfriend tried to kiII me.
- This is the commitment proceeding? - She was committed.
This hearing is to secure her reIease.
Wait a second. She tried to kill you.
- She did. - And now she wants out?
- She does. - And you're trying to heIp her get out?
l am.
Hmm.
- You're angry with me. - l'm just busy, okay?
l'm not gonna even discuss the absurdity...
of representing an ex-Iover who tried to kiII you.
But how do you not at least tell me?
That isn't something that l shouId know?
- l wanted to surprise you with it. - You think it's funny?
You think it's appropriate for me to learn about it in a staff meeting?
Forgive me. As you can imagine...
l haven't kept up with the boyfriend/ girIfriend reguIations.
What l can say is...
she's a cIient and a friend...
that I'm trying to free from the clutches of an overreaching asylum.
You keep calling it an asylum. This is a psychiatric hospital.
I mean no disrespect, Doctor, but the word ''hospital''implies treatment.
- And she has gotten treatment. - ls she Iess crazy?
Excuse me?
As a resuIt of your treatment, is she Iess crazy?
Crazy is not a medicaIIy recognized term, Mr. Shore.
As l've just expIained, Christine has what the D.S.M. refers to...
as Intermittent Explosive Disorder.
Then pIease teII us, is she Iess intermittentIy expIosive?
- She has improved. - And to what do you attribute that?
- PrimariIy, the pharmacoIogicaI regimen. - PiIIs?
25 miIIigrams each of three different antipsychotics administered three times daiIy.
Then maybe it's a good thing she's here. That sounds Iike...
a very compIicated protocoI to administer on one's own.
- lndeed. - How do you know she actuaIIy takes these piIIs?
- ObviousIy, we keep very carefuI records. - l'm sure you do.
But hypotheticaIIy, suppose there was a patient who feIt she didn't beIong here...
feIt that she'd entered your hospitaI quite troubIed...
but essentiaIIy sane and was being driven insane by this institution?
Maybe she's a New York University graduate, a respected attorney.
A charming, inteIIigent, sensitive, funny woman.
A fully functional person with the exception of one incident.
So each and every time your orderIies come around...
with your 7 5 miIIigrams of powerfuI antipsychotics for her to swaIIow...
she hides the tablets under her tongue and saves them day after day.
A growing collection of thoroughly unnecessary medication...
that her primary psychiatric caregiver wants to shove down her throat.
Are you asking if this hypotheticaI scenario couId happen?
- l am. - lt couId not. We keep very carefuI records.
Look, l don't see why l need to be present.
A part of her emotionaI distress cIaim goes to how you informed her of her husband's death.
l've been a surgeon for 30 years.
lf there's a pIeasant way to teII a famiIy a patient died-
We're gonna need your response to her account.
We're in Conference Room 1. We'll be right in.
Thank you. Come on, Carrie.
Why can't l just review the transcript? l reaIIy don't want to sit in that room.
We don't need you to do or say anything.
We just need you to sit there and Iisten.
Brad? One second, please.
You can't Iet him first chair this deposition.
- Paul, he's insisting- - First of aII, the case couId turn on this proceeding.
And second, as l mentioned, we have severaI medicaI corporations...
potentiaI cIients, taking a key interest-
Hey, guys. What are we taIking about?
It looks interesting from afar. Anything I might enjoy?
What's this case about, Denny?
The deposition you're about to conduct, what's it about again?
A man died during angiopIasty, Ieaving him dead. Tragic.
He even described the procedure as common. So for-
[ Denny ] One of your allegations goes to...
how Dr. Mahoney informed you of the tragic outcome.
Hejust came out and said my husband had a cardiac arrest and was dead.
He just turned and waIked away.
But he said he was gonna taIk to me Iater.
Do you make room for the possibiIity...
that Dr. Mahoney himseIf was devastated at this time?
The patient was my husband.
Whatever pain he had-
These are difficuIt questions.
You're, um...
40 pounds Iighter since before your husband's death?
Yes.
- Dating again? - Objection. This certainIy has no reIevance.
AII objections have been waived tiII the triaI.
Except for the form of the questions, sport. This your first deposition?
- This is not my first deposition. - WeII, then pIay by the ruIes.
Don't make me move for costs, which she'II end up paying.
ln this Iast year, wouId you say you've had...
more or Iess sex since the time of your husband's-
- Objection! - AII right. This is a tough deposition for everybody.
Let's just try to get through it. Denny?
[ Sighs, Scoffs ]
More or Iess sex this past year?
My physicaI reIationship with my husband had waned...
partIy because of his heart condition.
We remained very much in Iove.
And did you go on Iots of trips together, you and your husband?
Some. He was very busy with work.
Did he reguIarIy teII you how incredibIy- incredibly beautifuI you are?
Did you wear this perfume when your husband was alive?
- l beIieve l did. - That's magnificent.
AII right. This deposition is over.
- Why? - lt's over. Come on, Carrie.
AII right. Off to court we go, cub scout.
Oh, we'll be going into court, all right. We're done here.
[ Man ] The fact that she was secretly refusing to take her medication...
does not persuade us of progress.
But it does show she's capabIe of going six months unmedicated without incident.
Mr. Shore,you were her lover.
Any bias l might have in favor of Christine...
wouId be more than offset by the fact that she tried to kiII me.
Frankly, we're insulted by that. It might get you a spot on Good Morning America, but-
l'm trying to get her a spot of freedom.
- Freedom is a priviIege, Mr. Shore, not a right. - A priviIege?
Yes, and it's revocabIe, especiaIIy if you try to run someone over with an automobiIe.
Christine PauIey is weII.
You have an affidavit from three independent psychiatrists who evaIuated her.
And likely made her sign waivers as soon as you paid them.
The onIy reason you're hoIding her...
is you're afraid of being sued shouId she do something.
We're afraid she'll hurt herself or someone else,you cynical snot.!
Is liability to the hospital a factor? Yes.
We can't treat patients out of bankruptcy.
l hardIy see how that makes me a snot.
She's in here because of one isolated incident she's not likely to repeat.
You can gaze into some crystaI baII-
l can gaze into her. l saw the Iook in her eyes the day she was brought here.
l saw the Iook in her eyes which Ied to her being brought here.
She had that look then. She does not have it now.
Who wouId be this woman's guardian? Why is no one here to present-
Her parents wouId serve as guardians. You'II find their affidavit-
- They Iive in lIIinois. - Where Christine wouId be going upon reIease.
-And untiI she gets to lIIinois? -UntiI then, l wiII be her guardian.
Miss PauIey?
WeII, at the risk of aIso sounding biased, l agree with him.
This is not a parole board.
This is not a prison.
As you say, Dr. GiII, this is a hospitaI.
And when patients are heaIed, they're Iet out of hospitaIs.
Coffee not good?
Oh, no. l was just thinking about something.
- Yeah, l do that. - Mmm.
Thinking about what?
lt's kind of private.
You know, l'd stake out a IittIe distance from that Shore guy, SaIIy.
He tends to leave people's minds a little worse off than he fnds them.
- His oId girIfriend, case in point. - You two discussing cases?
l wasn't aware you provided emotionaI counseI as weII as IegaI, Lori.
- That's quite a perk. - A woman tries to kiII you, you go to represent her.
You don't think there's a pathoIogy at pIay here?
- l refer to yours. - l got the reference, thank you.
Speaking as an enormousIy unIikabIe person, l find it difficuIt...
to maintain grudges against all those who wanna kill me, don't you?
Yes. You'II perhaps find that witty comeback in your office.
He's got a motion for costs, for sanctions.
He's ordered a transcript so he can read back to the judge what you said today.
- Good. Then l won't have to bother trying to remember. - Damn it, Denny.
You're way out of Iine. This woman has just Iost a husband.
You're asking her questions about her sex life, her perfume.
- l know what l'm doing. - Which is?
lt'II come to me.
That Iawyer is going to pick you apart in open court tomorrow.
- Let him try. Denny Crane. - Listen to me.
Do you know why I was brought here?
The firm thinks that you are becoming a IiabiIity.
They wanted me to controI you.
Who thinks l'm a IiabiIity?
lt doesn't matter.
Who?
Denny, where you were once something to aspire to...
you're now becoming something to parody.
You walk around saying ''Denny Crane, Denny Crane''..
Iike it's supposed to intimidate or conjure up awe.
You're a compIete joke.
If that gets me fred, so be it.
l'm saying it just the same. You know why?
'Cause l Iove you. l adore you.
But it hurts to see you deteriorating into a-
Get the heII out of my office.
You didn't have to get me a hoteI room.
- l didn't. You're staying in my pIace. - l beg your pardon?
l won't get fresh.
- You Iive in a hoteI? - l do.
What happened to your big, grotesque house with your more grotesque swimming pooI...
and your even more grotesque rumpus room?
l soId it. l require a Iot of fresh toweIs and nightIy turndown service.
Why wouId you Iive in a ho-
Oh, l-l see.
The comfort of being abIe to check out on a whim.
You know, as much as you've expIained it, you've never reaIIy expIained it.
l demand onIy one thing in a reIationship, Christine- that l remain utterIy aIone.
- Nice out, AIan. - l'm sorry?
Even in conversation, you aIways have a nice out.
l did my best to controI him.
And the other attorney has brought a motion for sanctions?
- Which he wants to argue himseIf. - My God.
We count on you to help prevent these kinds of situations, Brad.
Paul, I'm a relativelyjunior partner. What exactly do you expect me to do?
lf that man gets up in open court-
Excuse me. The man can still handle himself in court.
Oh, pIease. The onIy possibIe good that couId come from his-
ls he adamant about arguing this himseIf?
l'm afraid so.
WeII, l guess we can't say no.
His name is stiII first on the Ietterhead.
Let him argue.
We're up earIy.
l've been up since 6:00, actuaIIy.
l've been waiting for you to get up so l couId say good-bye.
There's a cab outside waiting.
- l thought your flight's at 1 1 :00. - l'm going to the airport earIy.
Ridge upped the security to IeveI mauve.
- Let me drive you. - No.
I- I'd prefer t0-
Thank you... for getting me out.
For forgiving me.
WeII-WeII, that's it, creep.
Mmm.
l better go.
CaII me when you Iand.
[ Door Opens, Closes ]
- l just think l shouId argue it. - Why?
So you can controI me? Nobody controIs me.
Denny, you're the subject of the hearing. l'm certainIy gonna have more objectivity-
l'II argue the motion. When Denny Crane gets attacked, he stands up for himseIf.
l don't need you or anybody eIse controIIing or protecting me.
- You're not going to court in this state. - Brad, you can join me or not.
Your choice.
- What's going on? - He stiII pIans to argue it himseIf.
- The partners said Iet him. - l know, but l thought-
You know why they're saying ''Iet him''?
A pubIic debacIe on record is just what they need...
to convince the fuII partnership in January to broom him.
- What? - Yeah. They want him to seIf-destruct, Brad.
They obviousIy think Iosing a few cIients is worth Iosing him.
You cannot Iet him argue this motion.
You're her guardian, and she sIept in your hoteI room Iast night.
You see, you get upset when l don't teII you these things.
But then when l do- [ Sighs ]
She's gone to Chicago. lt's-
- lt's not about her. - ExceIIent. Then-
lt's-lt's us. ls there an us?
SaIIy, l know this seems difficuIt. You know what?
You know what wouId be fun? Can we go shopping for shoes?
Or a new dress? Something reveaIing for the office party.
Soft, but tight.
AIan.
- What are you doing here? - My flight was canceIed.
l thought you might feeI Iike an earIy Iunch.
Christine PauIey, SaIIy Heep.
- Hi. lt's nice to meet you. - Hi.
- Your flight was canceIed? - l'm rescheduIed at 4:30.
This is why l refused to fly for the past two years.
That and l've been Iocked up. So can l steaI you for Iunch?
- ActuaIIy, no. We were just about to go on- - lt's okay, reaIIy.
Very nice to meet you.
Maybe l shouIdn't have come.
Truth is, you weren't my first choice for Iunch.
l caIIed a few friends. Everybody seems to need a IittIe distance.
lt was aII, Iike, ''Oh, Christine. How nice to hear from you.''
You're smart enough to expect that.
Never got it from you.
- Are you and SaIIy- - We're seeing each other.
Oh.
- She seemed nice. - She is.
- CertainIy attractive. - There's that.
WeII, it'II be easier when l get to Chicago.
Easier to start over there, l think.
l agree.
Yeah.
So, Iunch?
On your next visit.
WeII, good-bye again.
- Um- - Good-bye, Christine.
Denny, Iisten to me. Some of the partners are coming down to watch the motion.
And not in support. They're hoping you crash in there.
They're hoping to be abIe to get some Ieverage, to be abIe to say at the partnership meeting...
''lt's time to take Denny Crane out of the game.''
What game?
I don't know whether he was trying to humiliate her or hit on her.
It wasn't clear. What was clear was the indecency of it.
This is what lawyering has degenerated to.
Carrie Lansing Iost her husband. He's probing her about her sex Iife.
lt was a bIatant abuse of our process.
lt was an embarrassment to the integrity of our profession.
This attorney shouId be sanctioned severeIy, Your Honor.
A message has to be sent to the bar...
that our bar is raised higher than an episode of reaIity teIevision.
Denny Crane demeaned Carrie Lansing...
he demeaned our court system, and he should be dealt with.
- Mr. Crane? - Denny, l have a good feeI for this. Can l take it?
l'II take it.
This is, um, pretty powerfuI stuff.
l can see Mr. RipIey's a very powerfuI man.
And that's a big thing with Iawyers, isn't it?
Power.
Fear of feeIing weak.
I've seen it before, attorneys coming up against Denny Crane.
They jump and stomp and shake their fists and beIIow with impassioned rage.
lt makes quite a demonstration, doesn't it?
When you cut through the merits, this lady has alleged in her complaint...
Ioss of consortium.
LegaI terms meaning sex and affection.
And if she's enjoying sex and affection, it's reIevant. lt's a mitigating factor.
I'm entitled to explore it.
Mr. RipIey may not Iike it, but it's Iegitimate.
And, I may add, that I conducted my probe...
in the reIative privacy of a cIosed conference room.
Mr. PowerfuI Man made it much more pubIic...
with his impassioned chest-thumping in a courtroom.
- l object to this. - Oh, go ahead and pound the tabIe.
I'll tell you what l object to.
We have an offer on the tabIe you so Iove to pound...
an offer l can't discuss because the settIement taIks have been seaIed.
Suffice it to say it is on the high side, the extreme high side...
considering the fact that liability is not certain.
Mr. Lansing had a preexisting heart condition.
But instead of taking the offer, powerfuI guys Iike Mr. RipIey want to go to triaI.
Why? Because l'm the opponent.
lt's a coup to beat the big guy.
WeII, what if you don't?
You demean the profession, Mr. PowerfuI Guy.
You're using your cIient to get a notch.
You're making Carrie Lansing go through the ordeal of a trial for your own ego.
- Objection. - A triaI you may Iose, in which case she gets nothing!
- Objection. - Oh, but if you're Ioud enough-
- Objection. - forcefuI enough and strong enough...
she may never realize that you blew it.
- Brad? - Funny.
You'd Iike me to feeI threatened, wouIdn't you?
l may not be abIe to taIk as fast...
but my tongue is certainIy more versatiIe.
You disapprove of me...
and that warms my cockIes.
l'm afraid something's come up.
- Oh, don't teII me- - Her flight Ieft an hour ago. She's gone.
So, shopping.
Maybe not shoes.
But something...
sIippery to perhaps sIide out of Iater.
l'm not that easy.
WeII, l am.
Do you feeI responsibIe for her being in there?
l certainIy was a precipitating factor.
ls she weII now?
l think so.
But perhaps l'm incIined to beIieve that.
You might come to vaIue my Iatitude on these matters...
a IittIe more fuIIy on the day you try to kiII me.
l miss you.
l have a friend who has this amazing house in Vermont.
Maybe for CoIumbus weekend, we couId sneak up there.
l Iove Vermont.
WouId you aIIow me to cover your body in mapIe syrup?
Excuse me.
- Where does she stay? - l have no idea.
l wouIdn't even know where to go Iook for her.
WeII, she cIearIy knows where to Iook for you. AIan, she is staIking you.
- She's not- - Crazy? She tried to kill you.
She was institutionaIized. Now she's out, and she's staIking you.
- You said that you were her IegaI guardian. - lt's a technicaIity.
WeII, you may have certain rights to have her recommitted.
She hasn't done anything to warrant that.
At the very Ieast, you couId get a restraining order.
There's nothing to warrant that either.
Do you reaIIy wanna wait tiII there is?
Brad. You hear?
He won the motion and settIed the case.
You must be disappointed.
l know what you were hoping for, PauI.
Let me teII you something, my friend.
l have Ioved and admired Denny Crane a Iot Ionger than you have.
We aII want him to be great.
lf you Ioved him, you wouIdn't have wanted his demise to be pubIic.
- [ Knocking ] - Hey.
Hey.
The plaintifflost his motion for sanctions...
accepted our offer.
Case is over, settIed, done.
l heard.
Denny, you did an incredibIe job.
I think you turned his own client against him in there.
ls that what you think?
Am l now to put stock in what you think?
Denny, l just came here to congratuIate you.
l don't need your praise.
Hmm?
Hardware, trunks fuII of praise.
- Denny- - l want your respect!
l'm senior partner. Respect goes with the job.
Not to mention l've earned it.
[ Sighs ] I've earned it.
Don't you think l feeI...
the wagons circIing?
Now comes the pIaintiff here and after the aIIeges and charges as foIIows-
Count one. On September 1 1 in the year of our-
[ Knocking ]
l am so, so sorry.
- I came to see you last night- - Why did you not go to Chicago?
l decided to coIIect a few Ietters of recommendation before l Ieave.
- If I'm going to try- - You can do that by phone.
l couId, and l pIan to.
But Bernie Levinson, senior partner at my oId firm, insists on meeting me in person.
Evidently, he wants to be sure I'm not nuts.
So l'm seeing him at 2:00. l fly out at 6:00.
AII right. So why'd you come to find me Iast night?
You weren't picking up your cell.
And-AIan, l'm so sorry.
l had no idea you were on a date.
I shouldn't have come at all. I realized that.
l Ieft as soon as l saw the expression on your face.
And... l truIy, truIy apoIogize.
l have to be honest, Christine. lt scared the heII out of me.
BeIieve me, if l had thought for a second that you were on a date-
Sally- Is it- Is it serious?
- l reaIIy don't wanna taIk about it. - May l ask why not?
We're friends, are we not? Good friends.
lt's onIy naturaI for us to discuss our Iives with each other.
l reaIIy don't wanna taIk about it.
Are you embarrassed?
Is this just some young thing you like to screw?
Dinner and a quickie? Something casuaI?
l'm sorry. That was inappropriate. l-
Maybe l stiII do get pangs.
Anyway, I again apologize...
for just showing up Iast night.
l think l wiII Ieave before this gets awkward.

Why don't we rent a nice restaurant for these things?
Because it's aII about impressing the cIients.

Okay, we weren't.
SaIIy, wouId you dance with me?
- WeII- - Oh, that's right. You're with Big AI.

Oh.

Nothing bad. lt's great, actuaIIy.
But l think l better discuss it with you in person.
- Can l steaI two minutes? - l'm at an office party.
Can you teII me about it over the phone?
l'd reaIIy prefer to do it in person.
CongratuIations.
- Denny, l- - l accept your congratuIations.
Don't Iinger Iike we're friends.
We used to be friends.
We used to sit out on baIconies at night as kids...
and criticize each other's openings and cIosings.
Remember those days, Denny?
When we were open to each other's criticism and candor?
Open was a funny choice of word.
You an ''out in the open'' sort of feIIow, PauI?
You know exactIy what sort of feIIow l am.
l'm stiII a good Iawyer.
Yes, you are.
You remember Muhammad AIi's Iast fight? We had ringside seats.
He Iost so patheticaIIy to Larry HoImes.
We were so crushed. The tragedy that night, Denny...
wasn't that he couldn't still box.
He could. The tragedy was that...
he stiII thought he was AIi.
You're a good Iawyer, my friend.
You're just not Denny Crane.

Don't you think SaIIy might object to this?
We're nonexcIusive when it comes to feet.
- Oh. - Oh, dear. You have a bunion.
Did you come in here for something?
Why are you counseIing SaIIy to distance herseIf from me?
There are ''happiIy ever after'' guys...
and there are those who Ieave girIs in a heap.
- And l can teII the difference. - You speak from personaI experience?
That's private.
Then perhaps l shouId get to know you better and ask again.
And l'd Iove to.
