1
00:00:02,002 --> 00:00:03,902
Previously on Boston Legal.

2
00:00:04,004 --> 00:00:08,100
You gave me the Crane legacy,
and I fully plan on living up to it.

3
00:00:08,208 --> 00:00:11,507
- He's not my son. - Obviously he
doesn't know. - You're not my father?

4
00:00:11,611 --> 00:00:15,775
I'm not comfortable with you working closely
with this woman. You and I are in a relationship.

5
00:00:15,882 --> 00:00:19,079
The fact you don't realize it
doesn't give you license to be unfaithful.

6
00:00:19,185 --> 00:00:23,747
- You're mad as a hatter.
- Donny Crane. You remember me. We used to be father and son.

7
00:00:23,857 --> 00:00:28,089
I may not have been around much, but I
was always there when you needed me.

8
00:00:28,194 --> 00:00:29,525
Still am.

9
00:00:36,803 --> 00:00:40,466
I pledge allegiance to the flag...

10
00:00:40,573 --> 00:00:43,406
of the United States of America...

11
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:47,105
and to the republic for which it stands...

12
00:00:47,213 --> 00:00:51,274
one nation, under God, indivisible...

13
00:00:51,384 --> 00:00:54,683
with liberty and justice for all.

14
00:00:56,756 --> 00:01:00,715
Well, Denny, that was refreshing
and patriotic. What gives?

15
00:01:00,827 --> 00:01:03,352
I, Denny Crane, am going to court...

16
00:01:03,463 --> 00:01:06,398
to represent
the United States of America.

17
00:01:06,499 --> 00:01:09,468
And what has our country
done to deserve you?

18
00:01:09,569 --> 00:01:12,094
The U. S. Attorney and the D. O. J.
had to recuse themselves...

19
00:01:12,205 --> 00:01:15,504
so Alberto appointed me
to carry the ball for Team U. S. A.

20
00:01:15,608 --> 00:01:18,839
The greatest lawyer in the world representing
the greatest country in the world.

21
00:01:18,945 --> 00:01:20,970
A match made in heaven.

22
00:01:21,081 --> 00:01:23,174
- Did you know about this?
- I did not.

23
00:01:23,283 --> 00:01:26,116
Where's a sitter when you need one?

24
00:01:28,388 --> 00:01:31,084
And we're back in court
on the Ehrlich-Water case.

25
00:01:31,191 --> 00:01:34,627
Opposing counsel is relentless.
Yet another evidentiary hearing.

26
00:01:34,727 --> 00:01:37,389
Denise, per your status report...

27
00:01:37,497 --> 00:01:41,593
you had your mandatory settlement conference
with datemistake. com last week?

28
00:01:41,701 --> 00:01:43,498
Datemistake. com?

29
00:01:43,603 --> 00:01:46,572
It's an Internet site where women
can vent their ill feelings...

30
00:01:46,673 --> 00:01:49,699
about the men they dated
as a warning to other women.

31
00:01:49,809 --> 00:01:51,970
Our client, Derek Roth,
has been defamed by them.

32
00:01:52,078 --> 00:01:54,706
Oh! I'm sorry. I, um-

33
00:01:54,814 --> 00:01:56,975
You were just a little in my space.

34
00:01:57,083 --> 00:01:59,017
Yes, Shirley.
We did reach a settlement.

35
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:02,452
As for Denny, thejudge denied
the government's motion to dismiss...

36
00:02:02,555 --> 00:02:06,150
so the spectacle of Denny Crane...

37
00:02:06,259 --> 00:02:08,352
representing the United States...

38
00:02:08,461 --> 00:02:11,692
will continue to play out in federal court,
God save us all.

39
00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:14,232
- What judge did Denny get?
- Judge Kimberly Ohlund.

40
00:02:14,334 --> 00:02:17,201
I used to clerk for her.

41
00:02:17,303 --> 00:02:21,330
Her current clerk, Dan Jinx, and I play squash.
I'm e-mailing Dan now.

42
00:02:21,441 --> 00:02:24,035
He'll give me everything from
the judge's political leanings...

43
00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:26,408
to her basal temperature
after breakfast.

44
00:02:26,513 --> 00:02:28,811
- Thank you, Marlene.
- Sorry I'm late.

45
00:02:28,915 --> 00:02:32,146
But as usual,
I'm really only here for the fruit.

46
00:02:32,252 --> 00:02:36,416
Mmm. Something new.

47
00:02:36,523 --> 00:02:39,686
Alan, Marlene Stanger.
Marlene, Alan Shore.

48
00:02:39,792 --> 00:02:42,386
- A pleasure, Miss Stanger.
- Mr. Shore.

49
00:02:46,032 --> 00:02:48,330
Marlene comes to us
from Howard & Brock.

50
00:02:48,434 --> 00:02:51,995
Your name came up frequently
at my old firm.

51
00:02:52,105 --> 00:02:55,268
- I hope amid a torrent of obscenities.
- Always.

52
00:02:55,375 --> 00:02:57,002
Good.

53
00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:07,542
I look forward to working with you,
Miss Stanger.

54
00:03:07,654 --> 00:03:11,181
It's not often you meet someone
with such ocular precision.

55
00:03:54,934 --> 00:03:57,630
- Why won't you try this case with me?
- Personal reasons.

56
00:03:57,737 --> 00:03:59,705
It's because you're red.

57
00:03:59,806 --> 00:04:03,071
That's the old red, not the new red,
which is the opposite of blue. That's good.

58
00:04:03,176 --> 00:04:05,144
It's the old red. That's bad. And pink.

59
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:08,578
Regardless of my pigmentation,
I promised I'd sit with you.

60
00:04:08,681 --> 00:04:11,514
- That's the best I can do.
- Denny Crane doesn't need any sitters.

61
00:04:11,618 --> 00:04:14,086
- What are these personal reasons anyway?
- It's the global gag rule.

62
00:04:14,187 --> 00:04:18,055
Nonsense. Gags are dangerous,
locally or globally.

63
00:04:18,157 --> 00:04:21,354
You don't even know what
the global gag rule is, do you?

64
00:04:21,461 --> 00:04:23,827
I can tell you.

65
00:04:23,930 --> 00:04:28,128
The global gag rule forces other countries
where abortion is perfectly legal...

66
00:04:28,234 --> 00:04:31,203
to stop performing them
or even uttering the word "abortion. "

67
00:04:31,304 --> 00:04:34,205
Otherwise, the United States
cuts off their funding.

68
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:36,207
- Donny.
- Denny.

69
00:04:36,309 --> 00:04:38,470
- Alan.
- Donny.

70
00:04:41,848 --> 00:04:44,282
- What are you doing here?
- I'm with Lawyers Without Borders.

71
00:04:44,384 --> 00:04:48,343
They heard you were brought in after thejudge
denied the government's motion to dismiss.

72
00:04:48,454 --> 00:04:52,288
- Liberal pinko.
- Please rise. The Honorable Kimberly Ohlund presiding.

73
00:04:52,392 --> 00:04:55,293
Denny Crane for the United States
of America, Your Honor.

74
00:04:55,395 --> 00:04:57,556
Donny Crane for the plaintiff,
Kavita Pokharel.

75
00:04:57,664 --> 00:05:00,030
I take it you two know each other?

76
00:05:00,133 --> 00:05:02,192
- He's not my father.
- He's like a son.

77
00:05:03,770 --> 00:05:06,830
This'll be a delight.

78
00:05:22,555 --> 00:05:25,718
I can't believe the squid
is working here now.

79
00:05:25,825 --> 00:05:28,055
The squid?

80
00:05:31,130 --> 00:05:34,657
In old mythology they say the squid
is the only animal that can kill a shark.

81
00:05:34,767 --> 00:05:37,497
I used to work with her
at Howard & Brock...

82
00:05:37,603 --> 00:05:39,434
and like the mysterious giant squid...

83
00:05:39,539 --> 00:05:41,439
the only evidence ofher existence...

84
00:05:41,541 --> 00:05:44,942
were the whopping sucker marks
left on her victims.

85
00:05:47,780 --> 00:05:50,442
I take it you didn't get along.

86
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:53,280
You don't get along with the squid.

87
00:05:53,386 --> 00:05:56,514
She used to tap into the computer network,
steal everyone's research memos...

88
00:05:56,622 --> 00:05:58,522
and then claim them as her own.

89
00:05:58,624 --> 00:06:01,184
Why the hell did we hire her?

90
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:04,752
Beats me. I only hope
she doesn't get my Alan.

91
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:15,034
I was pregnant with my second child.

92
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,579
When I went into labor, my husband
took me to the district clinic in Khotang.

93
00:06:24,684 --> 00:06:26,652
This is in Nepal.

94
00:06:26,753 --> 00:06:29,381
Objection.
Witness isn't speaking English.

95
00:06:29,489 --> 00:06:32,720
We're aware of that, Mr. Crane.
She's being translated.

96
00:06:32,825 --> 00:06:35,623
- Is that legal?
- Shocking, isn't it?

97
00:06:35,728 --> 00:06:38,492
Oh.

98
00:06:38,598 --> 00:06:40,793
Continue.

99
00:06:45,772 --> 00:06:48,536
It was the same clinic
where I had my first child.

100
00:06:48,641 --> 00:06:50,905
Only this time the doctor was gone.

101
00:06:56,048 --> 00:07:00,041
The medical assistant said
I had an obstetric fistula...

102
00:07:00,153 --> 00:07:02,121
and I needed a caesarean section.

103
00:07:07,627 --> 00:07:11,723
But because they had no equipment
or medicine or a physician...

104
00:07:11,831 --> 00:07:14,197
they said there was nothing
they could do.

105
00:07:19,071 --> 00:07:21,266
I began to hemorrhage.

106
00:07:21,374 --> 00:07:25,140
I almost bled to death,
and my baby boy died.

107
00:07:29,582 --> 00:07:33,211
I'm not the only one.
Thousands are dying.

108
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:35,810
Why weren't there any supplies?

109
00:07:41,093 --> 00:07:43,687
They told me the United States
had taken away all the clinic's funding.

110
00:07:43,796 --> 00:07:48,460
Edward Broaden.

111
00:07:48,568 --> 00:07:52,060
And the man responsible for making
that decision was Mr. Edward Broaden.

112
00:07:52,171 --> 00:07:54,332
That man?

113
00:07:57,610 --> 00:07:59,635
Yes.

114
00:07:59,745 --> 00:08:04,648
I was a physician in Khotang
from 2001 until last October.

115
00:08:06,152 --> 00:08:09,849
Our clinic had been funded primarily
by the United States.

116
00:08:09,956 --> 00:08:12,356
Notice he didn't say "thank you. "

117
00:08:12,458 --> 00:08:14,483
He's got a lot on his mind, Denny.

118
00:08:14,594 --> 00:08:17,757
And, Dr. Patel, did your clinic
perform abortions?

119
00:08:17,864 --> 00:08:20,332
No. Even though it is legal in Nepal...

120
00:08:20,433 --> 00:08:25,268
our clinic made the decision not to
in order to receive U. S. funding.

121
00:08:25,371 --> 00:08:28,932
However,
we hung up a poster that said...

122
00:08:29,041 --> 00:08:32,738
"We believe that a woman has
a right to control her own body. "

123
00:08:32,845 --> 00:08:36,212
The poster was meant
to promote women's rights...

124
00:08:36,315 --> 00:08:40,445
and to prevent rape
as well as spousal abuse.

125
00:08:40,553 --> 00:08:43,681
But the USAl D representative,
Mr. Broaden...

126
00:08:43,789 --> 00:08:47,247
felt the poster was pro-abortion.

127
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,420
And that was that.
We lost all of our funding.

128
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:57,696
You're looking thin.
You should eat more.

129
00:08:57,803 --> 00:09:00,795
Some of us don't have fancy expense accounts
to pay for our meals, hmm?

130
00:09:00,907 --> 00:09:03,808
- You should get one. They're awesome.
- Mr. Crane?

131
00:09:05,011 --> 00:09:07,502
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

132
00:09:07,613 --> 00:09:09,979
- Dr., uh-
- Patel.

133
00:09:10,082 --> 00:09:13,677
I have in my hand here...

134
00:09:13,786 --> 00:09:15,913
the copy of the rules...

135
00:09:16,022 --> 00:09:18,786
that clinics must follow
in order to get U. S. aid.

136
00:09:18,891 --> 00:09:21,621
- You've seen this manual?
- Yes, I have.

137
00:09:21,727 --> 00:09:24,287
But the rules in it are so vague.

138
00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:28,925
They're left to the interpretation
of the USAl D representative.

139
00:09:29,035 --> 00:09:32,801
That representative is hired by an appointee
of the president of the United States. Correct?

140
00:09:32,905 --> 00:09:35,999
- Yes.
- So, Doctor, in your expert opinion as a physician...

141
00:09:36,108 --> 00:09:39,635
who the hell are you to question
the president of the United States?

142
00:09:39,745 --> 00:09:41,474
- Objection. Badgering.
- Sustained.

143
00:09:41,581 --> 00:09:45,073
You know the president
is against abortion.

144
00:09:45,184 --> 00:09:49,177
In following the rules, it would seem you would
err on the side of caution, but you didn't.

145
00:09:49,288 --> 00:09:51,984
You put up an inflammatory poster.

146
00:09:52,091 --> 00:09:56,460
We didn't feel it was inflammatory
to protect the rights of women.

147
00:09:56,562 --> 00:10:00,521
Well, it got me mad! You have
other clinics that get our money, right?

148
00:10:00,633 --> 00:10:02,498
- Yes.
- Ones who are able to follow the rules?

149
00:10:02,602 --> 00:10:04,536
The point is, Mr. Crane...

150
00:10:04,637 --> 00:10:07,105
while you allow abortion
in your country...

151
00:10:07,206 --> 00:10:09,936
you are trying to deny it
to the rest of the world.

152
00:10:10,042 --> 00:10:12,306
The people of this country
never decided on abortion.

153
00:10:12,411 --> 00:10:14,470
The elected officials never voted on it.

154
00:10:14,580 --> 00:10:19,279
It was nine justices of the Supreme Court.
The people are still angry about it.

155
00:10:19,385 --> 00:10:22,479
- Objection! He's not asking a question. He's debating.
- What are you talking about?

156
00:10:22,588 --> 00:10:25,455
- The reason why the Supreme Court exists-
- I'm not- Yeah?

157
00:10:25,558 --> 00:10:27,856
is to protect people
from their own mob mentality-

158
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,123
- I disagree. Objection.
- Fine. Objection right back at you.

159
00:10:31,230 --> 00:10:34,199
- I object to your objection!
- Both objections are sustained. Move on.

160
00:10:38,337 --> 00:10:42,467
- So, Dr., um-
- Patel.

161
00:10:42,575 --> 00:10:47,137
If you want American money,
don't kill babies.

162
00:10:49,015 --> 00:10:51,176
She wasn't trying to.

163
00:11:00,459 --> 00:11:05,226
This is so disrespectful. You don't
come home to Papa by suing his government.

164
00:11:05,331 --> 00:11:08,767
You're not my papa.
Your sperm never touched my egg.

165
00:11:08,868 --> 00:11:11,302
And someone
has to sue the government.

166
00:11:11,404 --> 00:11:15,101
Look, our policy denies thousands
of people lifesaving medical care...

167
00:11:15,207 --> 00:11:18,176
based on the personal
religious views of our leader.

168
00:11:18,277 --> 00:11:21,041
Nothing says democracy like imperialism.

169
00:11:21,147 --> 00:11:25,083
Why can't you come to town for once,
and we just toss the pigskin around?

170
00:11:25,184 --> 00:11:27,084
That's American.

171
00:11:27,186 --> 00:11:29,086
- Dinner?
- 8:00.

172
00:11:30,289 --> 00:11:32,917
- Denny Crane.
- Donny Crane.

173
00:11:34,226 --> 00:11:37,093
Donny Crane.

174
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:49,398
We had this settled.

175
00:11:49,508 --> 00:11:53,103
Upon further review of the agreement,
Mr. Roth didn't approve.

176
00:11:53,212 --> 00:11:56,375
I don't know what game you're playing here,
but you're not getting another dime from us.

177
00:11:56,482 --> 00:12:00,077
Please don't address my client directly.
Talk to me.

178
00:12:03,723 --> 00:12:07,591
Your client should know that our
original offer was more than generous.

179
00:12:07,693 --> 00:12:10,093
That's not the way I see it.

180
00:12:10,196 --> 00:12:13,393
Thirteen months ago, Derek went out
on a few dates with one Monique Foster...

181
00:12:13,499 --> 00:12:15,797
otherwise known on your Web site,
datemistake. com, as Anonymous.

182
00:12:15,901 --> 00:12:18,995
Things didn't work out,
and he broke up with her.

183
00:12:19,105 --> 00:12:23,303
Months later, he met someone, fell in love
and got engaged. Things looked... rosy.

184
00:12:23,409 --> 00:12:26,674
Yeah, until Anonymous found datemistake. com
and started posting all these lies about me.

185
00:12:26,779 --> 00:12:29,339
His fiancée found him
prominently displayed on the site...

186
00:12:29,448 --> 00:12:31,382
and broke up with Derek
two days later.

187
00:12:31,484 --> 00:12:34,317
We all know what happened, Miss Stanger.
We reached the original settlement.

188
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:36,820
What we didn't know
was the rest of the story.

189
00:12:36,922 --> 00:12:40,323
Now anytime someone tries to google my name
or my company, Roth's Plumbing Supply...

190
00:12:40,426 --> 00:12:43,589
instead of finding my Web site,
yours is the first site that comes up.

191
00:12:43,696 --> 00:12:46,324
My sales have dropped 40%
since this posting.

192
00:12:46,432 --> 00:12:49,868
You could've posted a rebuttal,
responded to anonymous opinions of you.

193
00:12:49,969 --> 00:12:52,301
But why should I have to?

194
00:12:52,404 --> 00:12:55,032
You destroy my client's reputation,
his business.

195
00:12:55,141 --> 00:12:59,134
You humiliate him in public, then force him
to fix the damages that you caused.

196
00:12:59,245 --> 00:13:01,805
That's like a glass company throwing rocks
through your window then saying...

197
00:13:01,914 --> 00:13:03,973
"Hey, need to buy a new window?"

198
00:13:04,083 --> 00:13:06,847
David. Nancy.

199
00:13:06,952 --> 00:13:09,011
- Derek?
- Hi.

200
00:13:09,121 --> 00:13:11,715
- Denise, right. You know everyone.
- I do.

201
00:13:11,824 --> 00:13:14,725
- May I see you?
- Of course.

202
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:25,259
What the hell are you doing
with my client?

203
00:13:25,371 --> 00:13:28,863
Well, Denise, I was looking over
some of your settlement agreements...

204
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:30,942
just to see how things
worked around here.

205
00:13:31,043 --> 00:13:33,307
Some firms are quite formal
and sticklers for grammar and language.

206
00:13:33,412 --> 00:13:37,075
I see around here anything goes, which is fine.
I just needed to know.

207
00:13:37,183 --> 00:13:39,344
What are you doing with my client?

208
00:13:39,451 --> 00:13:43,182
I looked at the settlement figure you had.
I thought we could do better.

209
00:13:43,289 --> 00:13:45,951
I saw Denny was
the assigned partner on the case.

210
00:13:46,058 --> 00:13:48,993
Y- You went to Denny
behind my back to steal my case?

211
00:13:49,094 --> 00:13:51,892
Oh, no, no. God, no.
I just told him my thoughts.

212
00:13:51,997 --> 00:13:54,363
He was very encouraging
and told me to go for it.

213
00:13:54,466 --> 00:13:57,902
So I held the documents from being published,
made a few calls, and, well, here we are.

214
00:13:58,003 --> 00:14:01,598
Our client is really happy, and I think we
can ring these people up for some big bucks.

215
00:14:01,707 --> 00:14:05,006
There's only one problem with that, Marlene.
Derek in there doesn't have a case.

216
00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:10,377
The $10,000 settlement I got him was a gift
from datemistake. com to make him go away.

217
00:14:10,482 --> 00:14:15,112
I think we could get more. If you agree with me,
I would love to share this case with you.

218
00:14:15,221 --> 00:14:19,715
We're leaving, as is our original offer.

219
00:14:20,826 --> 00:14:22,987
They'll be back.

220
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:02,993
Shejust went to Denny
and stole my case.

221
00:15:03,102 --> 00:15:05,570
- Just stole it.
- Okay.

222
00:15:05,671 --> 00:15:10,404
Did you know that at her old firm
they called her "the squid"?

223
00:15:10,509 --> 00:15:12,409
The squid?

224
00:15:12,511 --> 00:15:17,175
The only thing that can kill a shark.

225
00:15:17,283 --> 00:15:21,549
What really gets me about these people is
how they're so obvious and manipulative.

226
00:15:21,654 --> 00:15:24,748
And you're trying to manipulate our
friendship to get me to do something about this?

227
00:15:24,857 --> 00:15:27,451
- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.

228
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:31,461
After she stole my case, she had
the nerve to tell me we could share it.

229
00:15:31,563 --> 00:15:35,499
Marlene is a first-rate lawyer.
She brings in a lot of money.

230
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:38,161
She almost made partner
at Howard & Brock.

231
00:15:38,270 --> 00:15:42,400
We recruited her with the understanding
that if she does as well here as she did there...

232
00:15:42,508 --> 00:15:44,874
she would make partner
in the next vote.

233
00:15:44,977 --> 00:15:48,003
- And you're okay with that?
- I am. Yeah.

234
00:15:50,082 --> 00:15:53,210
Look, Denise, you have
a very bright future here.

235
00:15:53,319 --> 00:15:56,777
But let me put this as gently as I can.

236
00:15:58,157 --> 00:16:00,125
Toughen up.

237
00:16:11,403 --> 00:16:13,371
You seeing anyone?

238
00:16:13,472 --> 00:16:15,372
Not really. You?

239
00:16:15,474 --> 00:16:17,908
- I got married.
- Married?

240
00:16:18,010 --> 00:16:19,910
For a day.

241
00:16:20,012 --> 00:16:22,981
We tried to contact you for the wedding,
but you were nowhere to be found.

242
00:16:25,718 --> 00:16:29,176
Um, question.

243
00:16:29,288 --> 00:16:32,018
Do the girls actually talk?

244
00:16:32,124 --> 00:16:34,490
I'm not quite sure
of the etiquette here.

245
00:16:34,593 --> 00:16:38,689
I don't think there's a question
of etiquette, son. They're escorts.

246
00:16:40,499 --> 00:16:42,660
So you like flying around the world...

247
00:16:42,768 --> 00:16:45,601
picking up strangers,
bringing them to our courts?

248
00:16:45,704 --> 00:16:50,004
It isn't a matter of liking.
I'm trying to make people understand.

249
00:16:50,109 --> 00:16:53,010
All these clinics forced
to close their doors...

250
00:16:53,112 --> 00:16:55,945
by the simple stroke
of the pen of our president.

251
00:16:56,048 --> 00:16:58,016
And here we are in Boston...

252
00:16:58,117 --> 00:17:01,644
where there are eight world-class
hospitals within a 10-mile radius.

253
00:17:01,754 --> 00:17:06,623
We don't see it.
I'm hoping Kavita will help us see it.

254
00:17:06,725 --> 00:17:09,956
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I get the picture now.

255
00:17:10,062 --> 00:17:13,088
This is all about beating your old man,
isn't it, son?

256
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,930
For once, this isn't about you.

257
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:20,301
Then you won't mind losing.

258
00:17:20,406 --> 00:17:25,070
I got the law on my side, plus the United
States government and Denny Crane.

259
00:17:25,177 --> 00:17:28,977
Two equal and unstoppable forces.

260
00:17:29,081 --> 00:17:32,016
Mm-hmm.
And I've got a sympathetic judge...

261
00:17:32,117 --> 00:17:34,449
and an honest woman
who lost her child.

262
00:17:36,155 --> 00:17:39,318
You always taught me emotion wins.

263
00:17:40,692 --> 00:17:43,252
- Isn't he something?
- Mm-hmm.

264
00:17:45,330 --> 00:17:48,424
Yeah.

265
00:17:55,074 --> 00:17:58,134
- We're late.
- You're late. I'm not going.

266
00:17:58,243 --> 00:18:00,768
That time of the month?

267
00:18:00,879 --> 00:18:02,608
Come on!

268
00:18:02,714 --> 00:18:04,648
We're having fun.

269
00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:06,581
You're having fun.

270
00:18:06,685 --> 00:18:10,348
Sweeping into court,
trying a monumental case...

271
00:18:10,456 --> 00:18:13,118
about which there is much
to be thoughtful, much to articulate...

272
00:18:13,225 --> 00:18:15,489
about which you know almost nothing.

273
00:18:15,594 --> 00:18:20,964
And you're using nothing but easyjokes,
a swell suit and blind patriotism.

274
00:18:21,066 --> 00:18:23,626
You're jealous of my son.

275
00:18:23,735 --> 00:18:26,101
Denny, you don't have a son,
and the truth is...

276
00:18:26,205 --> 00:18:30,505
you're making a complete ass of yourself in
that courtroom about something you shouldn't.

277
00:18:30,609 --> 00:18:33,077
I don't care to see it or support it.

278
00:18:33,178 --> 00:18:36,204
There's a difference between
being an ass and being effective.

279
00:18:36,315 --> 00:18:38,977
When you win,
they say you're effective.

280
00:18:39,084 --> 00:18:42,645
When you lose, which I never do,
they call you an ass.

281
00:18:43,889 --> 00:18:46,517
I don't need you, Alan.

282
00:18:46,625 --> 00:18:49,287
I don't need anybody.

283
00:18:49,394 --> 00:18:52,056
Never have. Never will.

284
00:19:03,008 --> 00:19:07,172
I was in charge of the USAID
office in the northeastern region of Nepal.

285
00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:11,875
Part of myjob was to enforce
the rules of the Mexico City Policy.

286
00:19:11,984 --> 00:19:14,714
What policy? Everything comes
with rice and beans.

287
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:17,152
No.

288
00:19:17,256 --> 00:19:20,350
The name of the policy in question
is the Mexico City Policy.

289
00:19:20,459 --> 00:19:24,828
But opponents erroneously refer to it
as the global gag rule.

290
00:19:24,930 --> 00:19:27,160
All right.
So what are we doing in Mexico?

291
00:19:27,266 --> 00:19:30,963
That's where President Reagan
first enacted the policy in 1984.

292
00:19:31,069 --> 00:19:34,664
It was enacted as a reaction
to forced abortions in China...

293
00:19:34,773 --> 00:19:36,741
as a means of population control.

294
00:19:36,842 --> 00:19:40,403
- Chinese, Mexican. Anybody hungry?
- Objection.

295
00:19:40,512 --> 00:19:43,106
- Sustained.
- All right. Let's get back to America.

296
00:19:43,215 --> 00:19:47,549
You're saying that these policies
were enacted as a humanitarian gesture?

297
00:19:47,653 --> 00:19:49,553
Yes, it was.

298
00:19:49,655 --> 00:19:52,021
And is it in
the United States'discretion...

299
00:19:52,124 --> 00:19:54,922
to decide which clinics
get funding?

300
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:57,018
As a part of
our governmental function, yes.

301
00:19:57,129 --> 00:19:59,393
Determining funding...

302
00:19:59,498 --> 00:20:01,466
is a purely governmental function.

303
00:20:01,567 --> 00:20:06,266
And, uh, governments are immune...

304
00:20:06,371 --> 00:20:08,339
under the, um-

305
00:20:09,775 --> 00:20:12,243
under the, uh-

306
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,615
Federal Tort Claims Act.

307
00:20:17,716 --> 00:20:19,581
Right.

308
00:20:21,153 --> 00:20:23,781
Therefore-

309
00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:26,255
You will move for dismissal...

310
00:20:26,358 --> 00:20:28,724
and I will again deny the motion.

311
00:20:28,827 --> 00:20:31,227
Move on.

312
00:20:32,598 --> 00:20:35,294
Nothing further, Your Honor.

313
00:20:47,980 --> 00:20:51,438
You, uh-You say this was done
as a humanitarian effort.

314
00:20:51,550 --> 00:20:55,350
However, the rule was instituted
by President Reagan...

315
00:20:55,454 --> 00:20:57,513
continued under
the first President Bush...

316
00:20:57,623 --> 00:21:00,615
then rescinded during
the Clinton administration.

317
00:21:00,726 --> 00:21:02,125
That's true.

318
00:21:02,227 --> 00:21:04,627
And the day George W. Bush
took office...

319
00:21:04,730 --> 00:21:09,793
reinstating the global gag rule was one
ofhis first official pieces ofbusiness.

320
00:21:09,901 --> 00:21:12,096
That sounds political to me.

321
00:21:12,204 --> 00:21:14,434
- Objection, uh-
- Sustained.

322
00:21:14,539 --> 00:21:17,997
So the policy was designed...

323
00:21:18,110 --> 00:21:21,011
to stop abortion as a method
of family planning?

324
00:21:21,113 --> 00:21:22,603
Yes.

325
00:21:22,714 --> 00:21:25,615
Even though, by withdrawing funding
from those clinics...

326
00:21:25,717 --> 00:21:28,618
they no longer have money
for any family planning...

327
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,214
which could stop unwanted pregnancies
and the need for abortions?

328
00:21:33,325 --> 00:21:35,725
Mr. Broaden, you're not
the only USAID representative...

329
00:21:35,827 --> 00:21:38,057
that has to deal with this issue,
are you?

330
00:21:38,163 --> 00:21:40,063
No, I'm not.

331
00:21:40,165 --> 00:21:43,134
The truth is that our global gag rule
is affecting, well...

332
00:21:43,235 --> 00:21:45,328
the globe.

333
00:21:45,437 --> 00:21:49,533
The Balkans, Africa, South America, Asia.

334
00:21:49,641 --> 00:21:52,542
Any place dependent on U. S. funding...

335
00:21:52,644 --> 00:21:55,807
is not allowed to even utter
the word "abortion. "

336
00:21:55,914 --> 00:21:57,677
Yes, that's true.

337
00:21:57,783 --> 00:22:02,914
So don't you think it's curious that in our
administration's quest to stop abortion...

338
00:22:03,021 --> 00:22:07,981
we're actually restricting free speech,
which is a hallmark of democracy?

339
00:22:08,093 --> 00:22:10,493
Objection.
Irrelevant and unpatriotic.

340
00:22:10,595 --> 00:22:12,825
Sustained.

341
00:22:41,727 --> 00:22:44,355
Datemistake. com.

342
00:22:44,463 --> 00:22:47,864
Thank goodness technology
has progressed to the point...

343
00:22:47,966 --> 00:22:51,868
where we no longer have to deal
with our issues privately.

344
00:22:53,572 --> 00:22:57,372
So, any of my misadventures
chronicled in there?

345
00:22:57,476 --> 00:22:59,910
No.

346
00:23:00,011 --> 00:23:02,309
- Surprised?
- A little.

347
00:23:02,414 --> 00:23:05,281
As to the fact
that you checked on me, no.

348
00:23:16,261 --> 00:23:20,095
Just so you know, that little incident
would be considered sexual harassment.

349
00:23:20,198 --> 00:23:22,029
You're quite intoxicating.

350
00:23:22,134 --> 00:23:24,068
Oops. Did it again.

351
00:23:25,237 --> 00:23:27,967
But you won't report me to the bosses.

352
00:23:28,073 --> 00:23:30,268
Why not?

353
00:23:30,375 --> 00:23:33,276
Marlene,
while I haven't known you long...

354
00:23:33,378 --> 00:23:36,643
I get the feeling your best work is done
behind your colleagues'back.

355
00:23:36,748 --> 00:23:39,342
If you were to report me, you certainly
wouldn't have warned me first.

356
00:23:39,451 --> 00:23:44,582
What you'd really like to do is wrap your legs
around me and scream at the top of your lungs.

357
00:23:44,689 --> 00:23:46,486
You're a loud one, aren't you?

358
00:23:46,591 --> 00:23:48,923
Excuse me?

359
00:23:53,565 --> 00:23:58,867
How about I just clear everything off this desk?
We can take care of things right now.

360
00:23:58,970 --> 00:24:01,803
Then afterwards, you can write me up
and send me on my way.

361
00:24:03,942 --> 00:24:06,376
- You're repulsive.
- You're right.

362
00:24:06,478 --> 00:24:09,777
And yet I can see in your eyes
you're not completely repulsed.

363
00:24:11,750 --> 00:24:14,378
And therein lies the rub.

364
00:24:36,305 --> 00:24:39,536
You can't hold someone liable
for expressing an opinion.

365
00:24:39,642 --> 00:24:43,305
Besides, truth is a defense.
There are no objectively false facts here.

366
00:24:43,413 --> 00:24:46,541
You gotta be kidding me.
Anonymous called me "cheap. "

367
00:24:46,649 --> 00:24:50,210
- Where did you take Anonymous to dinner?
- Jimmy Changa's.

368
00:24:50,319 --> 00:24:52,549
And is it true that you used a coupon?

369
00:24:52,655 --> 00:24:55,522
That's not cheap. That's smart.

370
00:24:55,625 --> 00:24:57,855
- And did you pay?
- Yes, I did.

371
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,487
- And did she pay too?
- Yes.

372
00:25:01,597 --> 00:25:06,000
He treated her as an equal, which only proves
he's a feminist as well as resourceful.

373
00:25:06,102 --> 00:25:10,163
- Anonymous didn't post that.
- Yeah. And she says I have no sense ofhumor.

374
00:25:10,273 --> 00:25:14,733
- I make jokes all the time.
- Those aren'tjokes. Those are puns. Puns aren't funny.

375
00:25:14,844 --> 00:25:19,178
Well, that's just your "o-pun-ion. "
Isn't it?

376
00:25:19,282 --> 00:25:21,182
Oh, dear God.

377
00:25:21,284 --> 00:25:26,244
Denise, we agreed to return to the table
in good faith based on your reputation.

378
00:25:26,355 --> 00:25:29,882
But you haven't given us any reason
to even go back to the original agreement.

379
00:25:29,992 --> 00:25:32,688
All of the facts are on our side.

380
00:25:32,795 --> 00:25:35,286
But we may have
more plaintiffs on our side.

381
00:25:35,398 --> 00:25:37,559
With just a quick search
on your Web site...

382
00:25:37,667 --> 00:25:40,568
we have found 10 men willing
to come forward who were defamed...

383
00:25:40,670 --> 00:25:42,968
with false statements of fact,
not opinion.

384
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,536
You never mentioned these men
in your previous negotiations.

385
00:25:48,644 --> 00:25:50,908
We were just focusing on our client.

386
00:25:51,013 --> 00:25:53,914
We were hoping you would be reasonable,
but you're not being reasonable.

387
00:25:54,016 --> 00:25:56,450
So we're expanding this case
to a class-action suit.

388
00:25:56,552 --> 00:25:58,577
As to the facts...

389
00:25:58,688 --> 00:26:02,055
Brett Doran does not still live
with his mother.

390
00:26:02,158 --> 00:26:07,892
Jack Bostick does not have
a one-inch johnson, even on a cold day.

391
00:26:07,997 --> 00:26:10,397
I could go on.

392
00:26:10,500 --> 00:26:14,095
There are 300,000 more postings and
plenty of eager associates to review them.

393
00:26:22,111 --> 00:26:26,309
We'll give you a chance
to talk this over. Marlene?

394
00:26:33,890 --> 00:26:36,120
You posted these complaints
yourself, didn't you?

395
00:26:36,225 --> 00:26:38,921
I'd have to be an idiot to do that.

396
00:26:39,028 --> 00:26:41,929
So you had someone else do it for you.
A sister? A girlfriend?

397
00:26:42,031 --> 00:26:45,296
Denise, while you were out
on a date last night...

398
00:26:45,401 --> 00:26:48,302
I was here until 3:00 in the morning
hunting these guys down.

399
00:26:48,404 --> 00:26:52,272
All it took was some hard work and long hours,
but I was willing to do it.

400
00:26:52,375 --> 00:26:55,469
We can go to court. The reward
is potentially bigger, but so are the risks.

401
00:26:55,578 --> 00:26:59,014
Or we can go back in there and get a bigger
settlement than you originally negotiated.

402
00:26:59,115 --> 00:27:00,878
Your call.

403
00:27:02,785 --> 00:27:06,380
I talk. You don't say anything.

404
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,552
So, had a chance
to talk things over?

405
00:27:13,663 --> 00:27:16,359
- As a matter of fact, we have.
- And?

406
00:27:16,465 --> 00:27:19,457
We don't like the way
you do business, Denise.

407
00:27:19,569 --> 00:27:22,037
And I don't like the way
Ms. Moran does business.

408
00:27:22,138 --> 00:27:25,539
Your company trades on the misery
and pettiness of others.

409
00:27:25,641 --> 00:27:28,576
Ms. Moran, there are two ways
to make money in a business like this.

410
00:27:28,678 --> 00:27:31,078
The first is the short-term cash
you make...

411
00:27:31,180 --> 00:27:33,978
before someone like us comes in and
shuts you down with a major lawsuit.

412
00:27:34,083 --> 00:27:37,348
The other is the real money that comes
when you grow your business large enough...

413
00:27:37,453 --> 00:27:40,354
that one of the big media companies
buys you out.

414
00:27:40,456 --> 00:27:43,084
But nobody's going to buy a company...

415
00:27:43,192 --> 00:27:46,457
with a potentially huge class-action
lawsuit hanging over its head.

416
00:27:46,562 --> 00:27:49,759
And that's why you were willing
to settle in the first place.

417
00:27:50,967 --> 00:27:53,868
$30,000, and this all goes away.

418
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,414
- Twenty thousand.
- Twenty-five.

419
00:28:06,515 --> 00:28:08,949
Done.

420
00:28:09,051 --> 00:28:11,519
Yeah.

421
00:28:13,956 --> 00:28:16,356
I'll draw up the paperwork.

422
00:28:27,703 --> 00:28:30,729
You like hot fudge sundaes?

423
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,138
Ah, who knows what you like.
You're a weirdo.

424
00:28:33,242 --> 00:28:36,643
But my point is,
people like hot fudge sundaes.

425
00:28:36,746 --> 00:28:40,147
Well, yesterday in court,
I gave them a hot fudge sundae.

426
00:28:40,249 --> 00:28:42,649
I was brilliant.

427
00:28:42,752 --> 00:28:48,486
But after you've had
a big, delicious hot fudge sundae...

428
00:28:48,591 --> 00:28:51,321
it's a while before
you want another one.

429
00:28:51,427 --> 00:28:53,486
- You with me so far?
- Let's say that I am.

430
00:28:53,596 --> 00:28:57,293
- Great. I want you to do the closing argument.
- I'm sorry?

431
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,460
I gave the jury a great, big
Denny Crane sundae...

432
00:29:00,569 --> 00:29:05,131
with chocolate sauce and nuts
and a cherry on the top.

433
00:29:05,241 --> 00:29:10,440
Now they're full. I can't stuff another one
down their throats so soon.

434
00:29:10,546 --> 00:29:13,572
Denny, how'd it really go
in court yesterday?

435
00:29:13,683 --> 00:29:15,651
Magnificent.

436
00:29:15,751 --> 00:29:20,085
That being said, if thejury heard
from someone that wasn't me...

437
00:29:20,189 --> 00:29:23,590
it might refocus them in a way
that would guarantee victory.

438
00:29:23,693 --> 00:29:25,627
Not that victory is in doubt.

439
00:29:25,728 --> 00:29:27,696
I see.

440
00:29:28,864 --> 00:29:31,992
Alan, I need to stay undefeated.

441
00:29:32,101 --> 00:29:34,626
I don't want to look like a fool
in front of-

442
00:29:36,605 --> 00:29:38,732
I need you to do this.

443
00:29:41,010 --> 00:29:43,979
Friend helping friend?

444
00:30:00,096 --> 00:30:03,463
This case is not about abortion.

445
00:30:03,566 --> 00:30:05,761
It isn't about freedom of speech.

446
00:30:05,868 --> 00:30:09,634
It isn't even about what foreign policy
the United States chooses to conduct.

447
00:30:09,739 --> 00:30:14,699
This case is about hypocrisy
and the arrogance of power.

448
00:30:14,810 --> 00:30:18,803
Now, under the laws of the United States,
abortion is legal.

449
00:30:18,914 --> 00:30:23,647
But we tell other countries
that if they want U. S. aid...

450
00:30:23,753 --> 00:30:28,087
they cannot perform,
encourage or even mention abortion.

451
00:30:28,190 --> 00:30:31,216
We look the world in the eye
and say...

452
00:30:31,327 --> 00:30:34,854
"Do as I say, not as I do. "

453
00:30:36,232 --> 00:30:38,598
It's the very essence of hypocrisy.

454
00:30:39,969 --> 00:30:43,166
So, the clinic
that Kavita Pokharel went to...

455
00:30:43,272 --> 00:30:46,366
had had its funding cut off
by a USAl D representative...

456
00:30:46,475 --> 00:30:48,602
who mistakenly believed...

457
00:30:48,711 --> 00:30:52,408
that a poster in the clinic
advocated abortion.

458
00:30:52,515 --> 00:30:55,848
Now, she had been to the clinic before
and everything had been fine.

459
00:30:55,951 --> 00:30:58,476
She had the reasonable expectation...

460
00:30:58,587 --> 00:31:01,613
that the clinic
would continue to function.

461
00:31:01,724 --> 00:31:03,624
How could she?

462
00:31:03,726 --> 00:31:07,218
How could anyone
be expected to know...

463
00:31:07,329 --> 00:31:09,229
that United States policy...

464
00:31:09,331 --> 00:31:11,799
is as changeable
as the political winds?

465
00:31:15,037 --> 00:31:16,937
A political hack...

466
00:31:17,039 --> 00:31:21,999
made a brutal, thoughtless decision
that could not be appealed!

467
00:31:25,181 --> 00:31:27,206
And Ms. Pokharel's baby died.

468
00:31:28,751 --> 00:31:31,914
At a time when we're trying
to spread democracy...

469
00:31:32,021 --> 00:31:33,921
around the globe...

470
00:31:34,023 --> 00:31:37,083
let us show the world
that we are not hypocrites.

471
00:31:37,193 --> 00:31:40,253
Let us show the world that when
the government of the United States...

472
00:31:40,362 --> 00:31:42,830
makes a horrible, tragic mistake...

473
00:31:42,932 --> 00:31:46,129
the courts of the United States...

474
00:31:47,369 --> 00:31:49,963
will make that government pay for it.

475
00:32:15,664 --> 00:32:18,497
I'd like to begin with a cheer.

476
00:32:18,601 --> 00:32:22,935
We're number one!
We're number one! We're number-

477
00:32:23,038 --> 00:32:25,268
It's not much of a cheer.

478
00:32:25,374 --> 00:32:29,708
It's repetitive and rhythmically
uninteresting.

479
00:32:29,812 --> 00:32:33,441
But it does succinctly apply to our country
and has for quite some time.

480
00:32:33,549 --> 00:32:38,782
In fact, we've been number one so long that
the rest of the world has come to rely on us.

481
00:32:38,888 --> 00:32:44,053
And we don't let them down. We're the world's
largest donor of development assistance.

482
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:49,223
All in all, as a nation,
we donate over $55 billion a year...

483
00:32:49,331 --> 00:32:51,231
in foreign aid.

484
00:32:51,333 --> 00:32:56,361
Money, money, money, money, money, money.
Everything is about money.

485
00:32:57,673 --> 00:33:00,904
But we must never forget...

486
00:33:01,010 --> 00:33:04,309
that there is a terrible human tragedy...

487
00:33:04,413 --> 00:33:06,745
at the center of all this.

488
00:33:08,984 --> 00:33:10,884
Ms. Pokharel lost her child.

489
00:33:12,521 --> 00:33:15,718
The loss of any child's life
is an incalculable horror.

490
00:33:18,928 --> 00:33:21,863
It is for that reason
that I would ask you...

491
00:33:21,964 --> 00:33:26,424
to award the plaintiff
piles and piles of money.

492
00:33:26,535 --> 00:33:29,834
After all,
we have so much to give away.

493
00:33:29,939 --> 00:33:32,237
Why not?

494
00:33:33,642 --> 00:33:35,439
Piles and piles.

495
00:33:37,012 --> 00:33:39,173
Thank you.

496
00:33:41,217 --> 00:33:45,210
You know, come to think of it...

497
00:33:45,321 --> 00:33:48,154
maybe we don't have that much
to give away, do we?

498
00:33:48,257 --> 00:33:52,452
Our national debt
is now over eight trillion dollars.

499
00:33:54,797 --> 00:33:58,927
Eh, who cares?
Give 'em piles anyway. What the hell.

500
00:34:00,135 --> 00:34:03,195
Never mind that we have
37 million people...

501
00:34:03,305 --> 00:34:06,206
living below the poverty line
right here at home.

502
00:34:06,308 --> 00:34:11,302
What does it matter that our own literacy
rate doesn't even rank in the top 50 countries?

503
00:34:11,413 --> 00:34:13,779
Just keep shelling out the foreign aid.

504
00:34:13,882 --> 00:34:16,282
Has it really bothered anyone...

505
00:34:16,385 --> 00:34:19,081
that we don't have the resources
to help the Katrina victims?

506
00:34:19,188 --> 00:34:21,088
Of course not!

507
00:34:21,190 --> 00:34:25,058
What's really important is that
the United States continue to be...

508
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,287
that big A. T. M. machine to the world...

509
00:34:27,396 --> 00:34:30,763
doling out wads of cash
to every country who wants it.

510
00:34:30,866 --> 00:34:33,460
Money, money, money, money, money, money,
money. Never mind we don't have it.

511
00:34:33,569 --> 00:34:36,538
These other nations-
they're entitled, aren't they?

512
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:39,335
Even the ones who vilify us
for protecting their freedom.

513
00:34:39,441 --> 00:34:41,739
By the way,
listening to plaintiff's counsel...

514
00:34:41,844 --> 00:34:45,439
I couldn't help but concur
how horrible we Americans are.

515
00:34:45,547 --> 00:34:49,449
Okay, so we donate $55 billion a year
in foreign aid.

516
00:34:49,551 --> 00:34:52,577
But then we impose
certain conditions on those gifts!

517
00:34:52,688 --> 00:34:54,315
Imagine our awfulness.

518
00:34:54,423 --> 00:34:57,449
And here, my God,
we promise money to a clinic...

519
00:34:57,559 --> 00:35:00,494
so long as they promise
not to promote abortion.

520
00:35:00,596 --> 00:35:03,429
So they did. How dare we not give them
the money just the same?

521
00:35:03,532 --> 00:35:05,932
We should've given them that
and then some.

522
00:35:06,035 --> 00:35:07,969
We have a duty
to provide these handouts.

523
00:35:08,070 --> 00:35:10,538
We have an absolute duty...

524
00:35:10,639 --> 00:35:14,541
because we are
the United States of America.

525
00:35:14,643 --> 00:35:18,977
And these other nations, well, they're entitled,
whether they keep their promises or not.

526
00:35:49,878 --> 00:35:52,779
Our settlement check came in.
Twenty-five G's.

527
00:35:52,881 --> 00:35:55,782
- I'm just glad everything worked out.
- Me too.

528
00:35:55,884 --> 00:35:58,785
For all this Sturm und Drang,
we really did make a pretty good team.

529
00:35:58,887 --> 00:36:01,788
I'm so glad we're not like
those women in the workplace...

530
00:36:01,890 --> 00:36:04,723
who feel compelled to compete
with every pair of legs in a skirt.

531
00:36:04,827 --> 00:36:07,193
You are not gonna get very far
at Crane, Poole & Schmidt...

532
00:36:07,296 --> 00:36:09,890
pulling the kind of crap
you did with this case.

533
00:36:09,998 --> 00:36:13,434
Denise, the only crap I pulled was to
believe in this case and invest myself in it.

534
00:36:13,535 --> 00:36:15,400
That's why we more
than doubled our money.

535
00:36:15,504 --> 00:36:19,372
And I think that's why they hired me
at Crane, Poole & Schmidt.

536
00:36:19,475 --> 00:36:21,773
Why did they hire you?

537
00:36:22,845 --> 00:36:24,813
Anyway, see you later.

538
00:36:27,549 --> 00:36:29,881
Squid.

539
00:36:30,018 --> 00:36:32,543
Has the jury reached a verdict?

540
00:36:32,654 --> 00:36:35,179
- We have, Your Honor.
- How say you?

541
00:36:35,290 --> 00:36:38,919
In the matter of Kavita Pokharel
versus the United States...

542
00:36:39,027 --> 00:36:41,359
we find in favor of...

543
00:36:42,364 --> 00:36:44,298
the United States of America.

544
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,699
Thank you for your service. We're adjourned.

545
00:36:47,803 --> 00:36:50,135
Still undefeated.

546
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,605
I think my closing
made all the difference.

547
00:36:52,708 --> 00:36:55,700
Denny, if I wrote it and delivered it,
how did it become your closing?

548
00:36:55,811 --> 00:36:59,247
My case. I'm the lead attorney.
And, of course, I'm-

549
00:36:59,348 --> 00:37:02,283
- Yes, you are.
- the United States of America.

550
00:37:02,384 --> 00:37:04,648
- Of course we'll appeal.
- Of course you'll lose.

551
00:37:06,422 --> 00:37:09,323
- Dinner, Denny?
- Delighted, Donny.

552
00:37:18,567 --> 00:37:20,865
Son, let me ask you something.

553
00:37:22,471 --> 00:37:26,703
These lost causes-why do you do it?

554
00:37:26,809 --> 00:37:30,836
Well, I suppose the struggle
gives me comfort.

555
00:37:32,948 --> 00:37:35,849
Why do you do what you do?

556
00:37:35,951 --> 00:37:37,851
I don't actually remember.

557
00:37:40,422 --> 00:37:43,880
It may have something to do with
the massive amounts of money I make.

558
00:37:49,164 --> 00:37:51,132
My mom died.

559
00:37:53,302 --> 00:37:56,032
Uh, a few months ago.

560
00:37:56,138 --> 00:37:59,437
I was gonna tell you
the other night, but the-

561
00:37:59,541 --> 00:38:01,509
well...

562
00:38:02,878 --> 00:38:05,506
the hookers made it
a little uncomfortable.

563
00:38:05,614 --> 00:38:07,844
Mmm.

564
00:38:11,053 --> 00:38:13,521
I went looking for my real father.

565
00:38:15,057 --> 00:38:17,218
And?

566
00:38:17,326 --> 00:38:19,453
He lives in Maine.

567
00:38:19,561 --> 00:38:21,927
He works on a cranberry bog.

568
00:38:22,030 --> 00:38:24,828
Good man. Wears waders.

569
00:38:26,134 --> 00:38:27,999
Most days he's up to his knees...

570
00:38:28,103 --> 00:38:30,162
in water and little red fruits.

571
00:38:31,573 --> 00:38:33,473
Sounds like a very moist man.

572
00:38:38,514 --> 00:38:40,482
He's not you.

573
00:38:43,485 --> 00:38:47,546
Not the man I imagined growing up.

574
00:38:47,656 --> 00:38:52,753
Not the man I pictured in my mind
when I was studying at law school.

575
00:38:54,363 --> 00:38:56,331
So you're all alone.

576
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,230
Yepper.

577
00:39:03,539 --> 00:39:06,508
So...

578
00:39:06,608 --> 00:39:10,066
any interest in being
my fake father again?

579
00:39:12,447 --> 00:39:15,507
I never stopped being
your fake father, son.

580
00:39:30,499 --> 00:39:32,399
Good night, Mr. Crane.

581
00:39:32,501 --> 00:39:34,469
Good night, Miss Stanger.

582
00:39:42,878 --> 00:39:44,778
Your closing was very convincing.

583
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,780
Almost as if you believed it.

584
00:39:46,882 --> 00:39:48,782
I did.

585
00:39:48,884 --> 00:39:51,785
- You do love America?
- Of course I do.

586
00:39:51,887 --> 00:39:55,914
I didn't agree with the string our government
attached to the money in this case...

587
00:39:56,024 --> 00:39:58,822
but we have every right
to attach strings to the funds we give.

588
00:39:58,927 --> 00:40:00,895
That's my boy.

589
00:40:02,664 --> 00:40:05,929
I'm your friend, Denny,
but I'm not your boy.

590
00:40:06,034 --> 00:40:10,061
That's what troubles me- this notion that
we have to take sides in this country now.

591
00:40:10,172 --> 00:40:12,072
You're either with us or against us...

592
00:40:12,174 --> 00:40:15,735
Republican or Democrat,
red state or blue state.

593
00:40:15,844 --> 00:40:19,837
I can't believe
I live in a blue state. I mean-

594
00:40:19,948 --> 00:40:23,782
No one looks at an issue and struggles over
the right position to take anymore.

595
00:40:23,885 --> 00:40:26,786
And yet our ability to reason
is what makes us human.

596
00:40:26,888 --> 00:40:29,789
Lately we seem so willing
to forfeit that gift of reason...

597
00:40:29,891 --> 00:40:33,156
in exchange for the good feeling
of belonging to a group.

598
00:40:33,261 --> 00:40:36,788
We all just take the position
of our team.

599
00:40:36,898 --> 00:40:39,799
I've certainly done it
and hated myself for it.

600
00:40:39,901 --> 00:40:42,335
I've never heard you
make so much sense.

601
00:40:42,437 --> 00:40:46,806
I make sense all the time.
You just listen intermittently.

602
00:40:48,310 --> 00:40:50,278
Could be.

603
00:40:51,980 --> 00:40:55,313
Ahh. I like that new girl.

604
00:40:55,417 --> 00:40:57,317
Marlene.

605
00:40:57,419 --> 00:40:59,819
She's got an aggressive eye.

606
00:40:59,921 --> 00:41:02,890
Bet she's magnificent in bed.

607
00:41:02,991 --> 00:41:06,552
Oh, I bet she's at her best
with her back against the wall.

608
00:41:06,662 --> 00:41:08,289
Mmm.

609
00:41:11,633 --> 00:41:14,067
Oh, I can't wait till next week.

610
00:42:02,984 --> 00:42:04,679
You stinker!
